I'm your host, Michaela Perkins, and joining me today is Derek Montia, Terson, Suez, and Sean DePaz. And we are stoked because baseball is almost here. But before we get into the show, I want to dedicate today's show to Miss Marlene. She is not going to be joining us for this opening day, but she is in our hearts, and we love her so much.

So Miss Marlene, the show is for you. Shout out to Chris, we love you so much, and we wish more than anything, Ms. Marlene could be here for opening day. Love you, Mom. How are you guys doing? What's up? You guys excited for opening day? I'm so excited. I never thought this day would be here.

It feels like the lockout, the off season, everything lasted way longer than it really did. It really wasn't as much of a delay, right? The season is starting one week later than it normally would have, but it still feels like it's a lot of time we missed for some reason. I'm just happy it's here. I checked out during all the negotiation. A lot of people did. So for me, it's just like seems totally normal.

Like, oh, baseball is here because I was like, I just cannot handle this entire offseason ordeal. And whenever baseball comes, it comes. And like you said, it really hasn't been pushed back that long. Right. And spring training, we still got spring training. And I think that was the important thing. Right. People would have been much angry about the situation that spring training needed to be canceled or adapted to some sort of thing worth fans. You know what people are angry about those dang prices for tickets? They are crazy. A lot of complaints about the spring training prices of tickets. And then like the stadiums were all empty because nobody's going to pay. I don't know what the price was. $15 long tickets. That's all I need. Get myself a blanket. Well, I'm saying it. Well, it's, she's right, though. It's short-sighted, right? You have an empty stadium.

That could be filled with people if you made the tickets and then the park more accessible. People are going to drop a ton of money once they get there. So it's more about getting people in the ballpark and having them come out and be able to afford not only the tickets, but to buy lunch and beers and enjoy the whole experience. Yeah, for sure. Sean, are you excited for some baseball? I got to my first spring training game ever this year last year. Really? Ever.

Because I lived in New York, so I had never been to spring training. I forgot how much I missed baseball. Yeah. Sounds. I had a beer and a hot dog. Yeah. Which game slash park? It was, um, what is it?

Cubs Park. Sloan Park. Yeah. Sloan Park. It was Cubs D-Backs, rocking my Serpiente's jersey for the first time this year. Ooh, that jersey's clean. Oh, I, like I said, I forgot how much I missed baseball. Yeah.

And then I got a little taste of all the sounds and the smells and that's, mm. Yes. Jacked. I know. It's, you know, like, I know other sports are played outside. It's not the same. It's not the same. There's, it's just not.

There's just something about it. And you're right. I got, I felt my blood pumping when I just went out there to see them do their minor league mini camp. And they divided guys up into, you know, Sanlot teams almost and had them playing against each other. And just to see them like, oh, wait, we're going to see an actual pitcher throwing to a batter right now. This is, this is awesome. This is so good.

Right. So, but spring training is different. Spring training's not really about the baseball as much as it's about that being like the background for the good time. Yeah. Yeah. Well, before we get too far into opening day talk, we are doing a watch party at the Ainsworth on opening day. We are so excited for this. You can RSVP if you go to our Twitter account at PHNX underscore Sports or at PHNX underscore Diamondbacks. The fun starts at 3 o'clock. We will be broadcasting live. Derek and I will both be there broadcasting live. I know. He's so cute. His little hat. We're also going to be dropping an exclusive t-shirt and I've seen a shirt. It is incredible, you guys.

You do not want to miss out on this shirt. It is so good. So make sure you RSVP. Come join us. Come hang out with us. The whole PHNX fan will be there. Like I said, we'll be broadcasting live. And then if you want to go to the game,

the Ainsworth is right across the street from Chase Field. So you can head over to Chase Field right after our show. If you don't have tickets already, come over and watch the game with us. We'll be there. We'll be hanging out. It'll be just as good as being there. I'll be a great, great time. I'm super excited for opening day.

I think it should be a national holiday. How do you guys feel about that? I think it absolutely. We should all have it off. And I've had people like want me to write them notes to get off their, you know, away from work. It's not like a word. I don't have that kind of authority. How do you feel about it?

Do you think should be a national holiday? Everybody has it off from work? I mean, I like that. I think kids should have school off too and give them an opportunity to go out to the ballpark. I remember one of like my best childhood memories was skipping school to go see C.C. Sabathia pitch in Cleveland. And like, I'll never forget that. And that was like a big moment, right?

You were trying to, like, you know, like help with the sport. I think it's like it helps everybody when baseball is a popular sport. Younger generations, give them the day off, an option to go to the ballpark for opening day. I think it's a good idea. Yeah. Sean, what do you think? Hot take. It should not be a national holiday.

And listen, wait, because if it's a national holiday and everyone has off, you remove the magic of getting to skip school or leave work to go to opening day. So especially when I was young. Like leaving school early to go to opening day for AAA baseball team like that was magical So if you if that's why it was magical for me It was because like I skipped school and it was like ha ha ha like everyone else is in school like I'm at I'm at a game Yeah, but I guess it's not the same when you're an adult because you can't just work is a little more important Yeah skip work for I mean Sean was telling us the story

About how he used to take Rayhound buses to baseball games and it kind of blew my mind because I thought we were a little bit older than taking Greyhound buses? I thought me like an Uber, I don't know, like a taxi. An Uber from Buffalo, New York, New York City. It's not an eight-hour driving. Oh, yeah, that's a bad idea. I never mind. I was 17 in high school and I didn't have a car. I didn't have much of a choice. If I wanted to see baseball, which I really wanted to do, I had to take the Greyhound to the train. My parents would never let me on. Oh my God, no, mine either. Yeah, I just think that's such like an outdated. Like, that's something my grandma did. My grandma would take the Greyhound bus. Buses still operate, believe it or not. There's still a thing. Do people really wrong? Do people really

ride the bus? Yes, I took one to Las Vegas not too long ago. It's super cheap. Ridiculously cheap. It's like $14. It's cheaper than me driving there. It's like the cheapest form of transportation that you can get, really. Yeah. But you have your, you're, you're, you're, you're getting their will. You're, you're taking a 12-hour drive that would normally take you for, but that's, that's the cost of. Yeah. Yeah. And buses are not are not normally the, the most comfortable cleanest form of transportation. So it's something I only did when I have. had like 50 bucks in my bank account and I was 17 years old. And I could eat McDonald's five times a week and not feel any consequences from it.

I don't know if I can do it now. I relate to that a lot. Charles Woodall Pike saying probably paying more for the Uber than the baseball ticket. In fairness, I didn't realize it was that far away. Definitely don't Uber eight hours. New York's a big state from side to side. Yes, very big. But another story I went to a Pittsburgh game.

It's three hours away. ran into like standstill traffic because there was construction and I may or may not have had to drive a hundred miles an hour down the interstate to get to the game on time. It was a great game though. May and did. I know that. It was, I saw Kershaw pitch in Pittsburgh. Ooh,

that's pretty cool. That was a pretty cool experience. Matt Cuff saying my mom used to be dropped off at Bush Stadium with $5 and we're lasted the whole day. Wow, that is a time long gone. Bush Stadium is incredible that we were just talking about that earlier before the show. That's one of the stadiums I've been to, and it is amazing. It's so cool that ballpark. We used to get dropped off to spring training games as kids.

And the same thing, like, just let out at the front door and given enough money for, like, a ticket. And we'd have, like, some pens given to us on a baseball or two so we could get autographs. And yeah, that's, that's why I used. I had, like, a sheltered child. Well, I did have a sheltered child. But there was, like, no, like, oh, we'll just drop you off. Yeah. Especially if I was, like, in my.

My parents were on my butt Like needing to know Like assuming Just assuming that if I was going to go to a game There would be a boy there and that was off limits And so I just like couldn't do anything I was a nerd and a goody two shoes So my mom trusted me with everything

I could basically do whatever I want But I didn't do anything bad because like I said I was a goody two shoes I just feel like I grew up in a different time than everybody When I was 10 years old my dad dropped me off at Universal Studios By myself to go hang out for the day That's kind of the true childhood that I lived in. And I wasn't the only kid that I met there that day doing that same thing.

See, my parents wouldn't let me do that kind of stuff, but they would drop me off at the airport and like let me fly by myself across the country. Yeah, to like, all right, honey, good job. Exactly. Like, have fun. See in a week. And I'd be like, okay, bye. This flight attendant will take care of you for the next four hours. All right. Well, we're going to take a small diversion from opening day talk because I feel like we have to talk about this tweet that we put out yesterday. So we were thinking. about all these Arizona sports legends and we wanted to put them at tables and you can only pick one table to sit at. So you have to be very careful with your choice. And it basically blew up on Twitter. People were very passionate about this. I didn't realize for, well, I knew how many legends were in Arizona and have played for Arizona sports teams. But people were super amped about this whole thing. So I want to get your guys's take on which table out of all these tables you would sit at.

If you're listening to this audio version, I'm so sorry, you're going to have to go over to YouTube. You're going to have to reference the tables. And watch or go to Twitter and reference to tweet because there are just too many names to read out. But if you had to pick a table to sit at, that was full of Arizona Sports Legends. What table would you go to?

I know, Sean, you probably have yours picked out. Oh, yeah, no. I picked mine yesterday. Honorable mention to, I think it was eight, donor, D'Andre, and Adia Barnes. Yes. Huge fan of Adia Barnes, even though she's a wildcat. But I chose number three, Chris Paul, Dihaw, and Diddyar Dragha.

Listen, if you're not a soccer fan, you might not know who Diddy or Dragha is. He's one of the greatest soccer players of all time. And outside of the scope of Arizona sports, he's significantly more popular than everyone else on this list. But he is like a legend in soccer. And Chris Paul is might be my favorite basketball player of all time. And D.Hop's cool, too. I guess. D hop is the sides to the surf and turf that is that table.

I don't know, man. That is three very competitive individuals that I think you're going to see like a lot of money gambled on like a paper football game or something. Are you kidding? They're just going to get into an argument about something. Which is why you fit in with that table. I don't know. I'm putting if it's teams though, I'm taking that that table would be anybody, any other team,

any other table and basically any competitive. I wasn't assessing it by. I wasn't either, but just thinking about it. Yeah, that's a good... Now that you got me in like a competitive mindset. Exactly, though. Right, right?

I didn't. That's where you went. John's thinking about war. Who you could have battle with? Mallory's asking if she can push all the tables together. That's a great idea, but no, that's cheating. However, that would be epic. That would be like the best lunch time.

Or put me at the table with Randy Johnson and I'm just screaming food fight because that's a dub. Oh my gosh. Charles Little Pike saying the Coyotees fan of me wants to be at eight, but I probably would go one. If you're watching now and you're in the chat, let us know what table you would sit at. We definitely want to include you in the show. If you're watching on Twitter, head over to YouTube and jump in on the chat so you can watch along with us and comment along. Let us know what table you would sit at. Chirsten, what table would you go to?

I'm going nine. Okay. Which was Larry Fitzgerald, Tyler, Tyler, Skyland, Diggins Smith and Monty Williams. That was like probably the most popular one on Twitter yesterday. That was like, that was my, that was one of them. I narrowed it down to my top three and I was like, now this isn't even close. Like, this is a table I would sit. that I'm going to be a better person walking away from that table.

Correct. I use the exact same logic. I use the exact same logic. And we'll have like probably experienced a paradigm shift while I was at that table. Yeah, absolutely. You would like want to run through a brick wall after that conversation. It's just the epiphanies you would have after that would change your life. You would literally look at things completely differently after you walk away from that table.

Larry the legend is obviously a legend. Monty Williams is so wise. And then Skylar Dickens Smith is probably one of my favorite basketball broadcasters to listen to. She is so good at analyzing the game and commenting on what's happening. And they've all had, like, they've all done so many things in life outside of just sports. And it's like they're all, not that I'm not not saying that everyone else isn't educated, but they're like highly educated, highly in tune with themselves with like everything from money to business to relationships. Like those are some quality people. I'm not saying that other people aren't just. Yeah.

That's my list. No, I'm with you 100. I mean, I think you would walk away feeling shame for having cryptocurrency after hanging out. It would be like, what do you mean you're not investing in your 401K? Let's talk about this whole lot. Get out a notepad. We're going to talk about it. Charles Little Pike saying the coyotes fan of me wants to sit at eight, but I would probably go with one. One was a really popular table.

Best dress table on there. Yeah, for sure. See, T.T.T.T. and Devin Booker. Yes. Throw me on that table. Devin Booker, Luis Gonzalez, Charlie Turner Thorn. I could talk to Charlie Turner Thorne by herself all day any day. That woman is a legend.

MacCuff saying if we could flip Phil and Luis Gonzalez, table one is by far the one for me. Okay. Well, we can't. We can't. Louise Gizabeth is a legend. He's a great person to speak with. Yeah, he has a great personality. He's just a really nice guy.

And I will say, is being so, like, I just, that's like a hero to me, right? And so the fact that that man knew my name one day when I was. wasn't wearing my badge made me feel all sorts of special inside. I'm not a person who's at Chase Field very often, right? And I'm not a person who has conversed with Luis Gonzalez. I don't have these interviews with him where we have this really personal relationship. The fact that that man remembers my name goes to show how much he like cares about people. He met you one time.

He remembers your name. He doesn't need to look at your badge. We've all had that happen where someone blatantly looks at your badge to remember like what, you know, name tag you're wearing. Yeah, right. I'm like, oh, my. Right, Greg. Yeah, exactly. So I get it.

But that's why I think he's just a really special quality individual. Yeah, Chris going table one, two. Motion saying table seven. Okay. Derek, are you picking nine then? Yeah, I'm also picking nine. That was my selection as well. I have to pick mine.

I think, oh, this was so tough. I really, I think out of all the people, like, as an individual, the person had wanted to have a conversation with them most is McHale Bridges, just because his personality is unlike anything else. But I think table six is low-key underrated. Diana Tarasi is probably one of the funniest people on the face of the planet. And her, Kurt Warner and Bobby Hurley would probably have. That would be such an interesting dynamic.

A wild conversation. I would honestly just not even say anything. I would just sit there and listen the whole time because, I mean, those people, the personalities on them is just hilarious. Also five, like an all-time good guy table. J.J. Watt, Steve Nash and Tommy Lloyd. Yeah. Yeah. Tommy Lloyd is the gem of human.

There's somebody at every table to me that I'm like, I don't know about how good conversation would be with that person there. Like there's something awkward about the mix of these three individuals. Right, yeah, definitely. Definitely table two. I think I just realized that Kurt Warner is probably, I feel like I've met a lot of athletes. Kurt Warner is like still on my list of athletes that I or former athletes that I have yet to meet. That's like I have to meet this person. Yeah, for sure.

Matt Cove saying, Phil is a party, though. Yes, Phil McElesson is a party. Golf can be a party sometimes when it's happening in Scottsdale. But I've got great news for you guys.

I'm so excited. You guys. I cried this morning. It's not even opening day yet. We got one more sleep. I cried because it's like Christmas morning or Christmas Eve today for me. And I love baseball. more than probably life itself.

You're going to wake up tomorrow and be an absolute train wreck. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. I'm going to be so excited, you guys. To come out to the Ainsworth sobbing with makeup running down your face. If you see me crying at the Ainsworth tomorrow, no, you didn't. I'm so excited.

I love baseball more than life itself. And our friends at CHGO, our sister station in Chicago, did this theme on their Chicago sports podcast last week and it inspired me to do it this week because I think it's a great topic. basically we're going to be building our ideal opening day routine so the food that we would pick throughout a baseball game and I'm really excited because all of us have different answers and all

of them I think are valid so I'm excited to hear what the people watching with us think if you're in the chat play along with us let us know what you would select for each category and then also tell us what you think is the best out of all these options obviously when we go to opening day we have to get a beer right away I mean I don't know about you guys but I head straight for the alcohol when I get inside a ballpark. That's a general rule. Find alcohol, then find your seats.

I need a tall boy in my hand. You know what? Can I just say something about the tall boy? They get warm before you get to finish it. And honestly, I would rather have a smaller can. I agree. Well, so I should, damn, I should have chose it.

But I was going to say, the best part about D-Bax games are the $4 cores. So you get a little cup of $4 cores, flawless. I mean, they have some great value. I was actually I have stuff for $2.99 this season, like hot dogs and popcorn and things like that. So you can never argue with the value there. But I'm with you.

Those go really fast, though. My problem with that is the consecutive trips back and forth. Yes. And the limitation to how many I can fit in my hand when I'm going back to the seat. If you bring a Coozy, a tall boy coozy, it'll keep it colder for you for the whole game. I have not thought about that because honestly, I've gotten to a point. That's a pro tip. That's a pro tip.

I've got to a point where I look forward to the warm half of the beer because it's just like, What is wrong with you? It's part of the experience of the beer getting warm is crazy to be. Do you guys not drink it before? That's awesome. Derek's in the outfield like pounding tall boys. I'm sorry, but you guys are complaining about your one that's warm here.

No, I think the bigger thing is to scout out what you have in your area. Yeah. By where your seats are, right? So even if you're not grabbing a beer right away, you need to know where the beers are and what kind you can get. You can be limited, right? Like,

there are some beer stands that only serve two kinds of drafts and you might not like either one of them. You got to scout it out. But I always personally head for the alcohol before I sit down. I don't know if that. I'm glad it's not just me. I'm glad you guys do that too.

Jason, what is your ballpark beer of choice? I would say shocked up. I'm slowly distracted trying to figure out Bryson DeShambos preemption. She's still stuck as much. I have said it in highlights for three years. And I'm like, did I for three years say something wrong?

I don't know. I'm very curious if it's DeShambos and, Or DeCambo. And I don't know. Maybe somebody can like win. This is a potato potato kind of situation or no? No, because no. No, you need to pronounce it.

And that's like somebody calling me Kierston. I'm like, no, no, no, no. He's probably like DeCambu. Kirsten, Sussle. Yeah. Chambu. Anyway, tell us about your shock top. I'm going to go with Shocktop.

I actually prefer Blue Moon, but I feel like at ballparks they have Shocktop over Blue Moon. Okay. So I end up going with Shock Top. Yeah. Or at least the Blue Moon sells out really. quickly and then shock tops like the only thing that's left i just feel like i have a hard time finding it i just feel like shock top's more prevalent well that's segues into sean's beer of the ballpark i have been there plenty of time um i i am a blue moon person as well i'm pretty sure at dbaks

games you can get blue moons but when i was at sloom park last week i had a shocked out because there was no blue moon yeah um but i think you can get blue moons at debacks games regardless i think you can i've seen them there blue moon shock top kind of the same thing yeah they're both belgium weepiers Yeah, exactly. So Blue Moon's my go-to. I just flawless. And you can't get the full experience of getting it in a cup with the orange slice. Right, right.

When you get it in the cup or when you get in a can, it's still, it's high. Derek, what did you pick as your ballgame beer? It's my new. This is more about being in the spirit of the baseball game rather than actually enjoying it more than other beers. Much like, you know, the shamrock shake for McDonald's around, you know, St. Patrick's Day, right? It might. It's disgusting. But you still have to have one at times.

I like the Rattle on Red Ale from Four Peaks, which is relatively new. And it's something that you can get. You're such a homer. Yeah. You pick that because of the design on the can. Rattle on Red Ale from Four Peaks. It's just a delicious red ale that you can get available at your local supermarket. Oh, my God.

Are you at some of his paper? I'm sorry. Wait. No free sponsorship. You guys aren't sponsored by it. It's a new beer. And again, it's kind of just in the spirit of things. I haven't seen it on tap anywhere besides Four Peaks and at the ballpark.

You want to share your promo code? Promo code D-E-R-E-K or the mayor, all one word, over at Four Peaks. The check hit this morning. Giselle in the comments saying, I just go for the Michulata. Micholadas are very good. That's a solid selection. Also, what's up, Jazel? Hi, Queen.

I love you. Nice to see in the comments. That's a great choice. My ballpark beer of choice, it's because I'm a Colorado girl, so I'm selling myself out. I'm a Hazy IPA kind of girl, and Four Peaks and the Diamondbacks are in sponsorship this year. So they've got a really cool Four Peaks, like, brewery patio thing where you can get Four Peaks beer. And the Hazy IPA is on the menu. So I'm going to be pretentiously sipping on my IPAs sitting at the baseball game.

I always feel pretentious when I have. Like, they go through the list and I'm like, just stop. What IPAs do you have? Yeah, I know. I'm going to say. I was drinking a Hasey IPA last yesterday. Yeah, me too. But I'm very much like a

I'd the local flavor type thing So like when I'm at Pittsburgh I drink yingling It depends on where I am It's getting in the mood of it, you know what I mean? It's kind of like the way that the Diamondbacks have The versus dog and people were upset about them like catering to opposing fans And my thought is like

All right well one, so what, who cares We need to get as many people in that building as possible But two like I don't know we all get to eat it It's not just for opposing fans So like their Padres dog is a delicious just like Tijuana dog with jalapinos on top. That's for everybody. That's not just for Padres fans.

So we should just be happy. We're getting that variety, right? Yeah, Mac have blowing our minds here with the facts. Mac always comes with the facts. I think it's because his name is also Mac, like mine, so we're just like smart, you know? Mines. Top is a Bush brand.

Cubs Stadium is all Bush brands. There you go. I did not think about that or put that together, but that makes sense. I knew that had to be a thing. Yeah. Where they literally don't have both. Yeah. I knew that was a thing.

So then they probably do they have. Well, it depends on like sponsorship because they can't have both. I'm telling you if there's shocktop, there is no blue moon. You're talking about on draft. No, in can. I had cool. Because the only time I've ever had shock top is at a baseball or is in a situation where I can't get blue moon. Yeah.

Okay. Because that's what happened to me at National Park. I wanted a blue moon. All they had was shock top. Had a shock top happened at Sloan Park last week. I'm going to do as much research into this as you want to Deschambo. Matt, can you do some research and figure out what Chase Field has?

Because I swear I've seen, I might be getting it mixed up because I know they have it at Coors. I know for a fact they have Blue Moon. Because I'm pretty sure Blue Moon is a Coors brand. I think so, yeah. And it's a Coors Stadium. Which is why they have it at Coors Field. I should doubt this.

They used to be a Blue Moon girl. Like a promo girl? I did not know that. You've been a promo girl for like everyone. I'm friends with an heiress to the Chorus family. Amanda Coors. There's all sorts of interesting facts related to Roar. Learning so much of.

my coworkers. Chris saying no beers but real lemonade from Wetzels or iced tea. I love I see too. Lemonade. Is the lemonade guy going to be there this year? I don't know. Don't know. I can't remember.

It's a lemonade, lemonade like grandma made. I love that guy. Go get yourself a neat vodka and then slip it into that real lemon. Don't listen to Derek. You'll get kicked out for that. Okay. So after you drink your beer and usually it takes me about. four innings to drink my beer. So around the fourth inning is when I'm ready for a snack.

So we picked our favorite fourth inning snacks. Sean, what did you go with for your fourth inning snack? I went back and forth a lot of things, but I grew up. I played baseball all my life. So when I'm in a baseball park, I want sunflower seeds. Okay. The only problem with them is I can't do the full experience to just start spitting the shells everywhere. Yeah, that's the experience though. They're trash without getting the chance to do that. I have a spit cut. At least you're considering You know just like pick your seeds all over people. That's disgusting. Listen, I just, I like seeds.

Ranch, ranch sunflower seeds specifically. Oh, Ridge. Okay. That's the best flavor. When I was a kid growing up playing softball, I mean, I had a wad in my mouth, and they were usually ranch, and I would spit them out or spit him in a cup, and I also thought I was cool. They were great, great snack.

I would never, as an adult, go to a baseball game and chew seeds. Seeds or Big League Chew. Big League Chew. also. That's not really a snack because you can't really eat it. That's true. Also, I mean, honorable mention to roasted almonds. I don't know. I don't just, I disagree with that. Gum is a snack because the idea of a snack is to like balance out the hunger in between meals. It's just like the sunflower seeds. They're much better at that that you're not taking on additional calories. And I like gum is not a snack. It's calories for you. Yeah. I'm not saying it's about

calories, but it's gum is not a snack. Oh, don't even get me. So is candy is a snack. If you're watching, let's see. We're watching. us know if you think gum is a snack. I have a degree in snackology. I can't believe I'm being questioned right now. From where? The Institute of Snoblocking. I think it's a snack in the context of baseball. Like in the context of baseball it's the same thing as sunflower seeds. So like, are you listening? It's a snack if you're a player. Yeah. During a game. I thought this is a brilliant snack. That's bigly chew in sunflower seeds. But as a fan, I feel like that. Oh my gosh. You are on one. Um, Max is asking if you're swalling the gum dare. If you swallel it, then sure,

I'll give it to you. Did anyone... Did you know that... So now we're defining whether or not we small of the food is being food. Gums is in your stomach for like seven years or something like that? Is that a house? No, it's not true. Yes, of course.

Yeah, I do not think that's true. But none of us know because we all believe it from what our parents told us. Mac coming back with his research, Chase Field is mostly Coors products, but Four Peaks was bought by Anaheiser Bush. So technically they are both. Oh, thank you, Mac, for doing that research for. us.

Charles Little Pike saying, oh my God, okay, go before. Folklore suggests that swallowed gum sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested, but this isn't true. If you swallow gum, it's true that your body can't digest it, but the gum doesn't say in your stomach, so you just... Pass it. Does it go in your body? Does it just come out like a couple days later?

Does it stay in there for a while? I think it you would... It's probably like corn kernels. Okay. Yeah. The other thing, too, is it's no different than like a piece of food. Like, you know, when you have like zero. Zero calorie stuff that you're still eating.

It's only zero calorie because your body can't digest it. So you just pass through it. So it's the same. Okay. Yeah. It's the same concept where you just. Yeah. I also believed when I was little that if you swallow watermelon seeds, a watermelon will grow in your tummy.

Absolutely. Is that not true? Chris saying mint gum to kill bad breath is not a snack. Bigley chew is a snack. Oh, I don't know. I like that distinction. I'll think. Yeah.

Okay. Going back to seeds, though, cracked pepper is my favorite flavor. Ooh, that's a good one. love pepper. I would just say ranch all day. Yeah, no, ranch is the chivalet one too or something.

I think there was like a spice one. Yeah, there's a few different flavors. But yeah, when I played baseball, it was ranch or die. Based on all the food at Chase Field, I'm sure there's a flaming hot Cheetos covered.

Oh, that would be amazing. Jason, what is your fourth inning snack? So I would be probably getting another drink in addition to some sweet potato tots. You just drink the whole game. I feel you.

I do the same thing. Also, I have to fight you on your order of things because I'm going beer and hot dog like off rip like four hot dogs. All right. Well, there's just a hypothetical situation. Yeah. So sweet potatoes after the hot dog isn't enough to fill me up. I've never had them anywhere else other than Chase.

The sweet potato talks? Yeah. I didn't know they had them at restaurants, but not any, like I had a game. Right. Yeah. They're really good. Better than the French fries. I love sweet potatoes.

You are obsessed with sweet potatoes. It is a staple in my diet. It is sweet potatoes. Sweet potato pie is the best flavor of pie. Sweet potato fries over regular fries all day. With some honey? With some honey? Yeah.

Or ranch. Have you had ranch on sweet potato fries? Ranch. Like a Chipotle aoli. Ooh. Yeah. Sweet potato fries and honey though is truly immaculous. Are we all team sweet potato fries?

Oh. Oh, dear. I like them. I don't think they're different for me. Like it depends on the situation. Yeah. I'm eating with everything because like a nice like Parmesan fry. I'm team fried planting.

Yeah. Okay. Ooh. Fried plant. Yes. Okay. That's good. Shout out to the church

Do you put anything on your soup Cetsetotts? Ketchup. Okay. And I don't know if they probably don't have it but if I could get my hands on some sort of hot sauce

I would do that as well. Okay. I've never had hot sauce and sweet potatoes. Yeah, I feel like that's good. No. No, me too. Anytime I have ketchup I put the hot sauce over the ketchup

and mix it around and then dip. That makes sense. That's fair. I view ketchup and hot sauce is like one of the other like they fulfill this I only use ketchup in very specific situations otherwise I go through a bottle

of Chalua like every week I'm a hot sauce guy but yes huge hot sauce spicy ketchup have you had that have just the straight up sweet ketchup yeah that's really good my mom but when she was pregnant with me ate like a ton of raw cookie dough which explains a lot honestly

but I'm addicted to cookie dough and she also put hot sauce on everything like she had a hankering for hot sauce hot sauce so I love hot sauce and I love cookie dough all because my mom that's me like my favorite snack as a kid was dipping chips into hot sauce interesting yeah I just need to go back to the raw cookie dough thing you've confirmed now it might be a small sample size but if you eat raw cookie dough while pregnant your child will love murder it's true it's all makes sense it's all directly correlated um Derek what was your fourth inning snack it's brand new and I wanted really bad to go with my actual fourth inning

snack but Sean actually pointed out how it's never really as good the pretzels the wetzels pretzs are never as good at Chasefield as you want them to be or had them before so any sporting event yeah and Sean and I also agree were anti-ans people oops they're kidsless for sure I'm an anti-ans girl I just had this for the first time and it's incredible I couldn't believe how good it was it's the Buffalo chicken sidewinders and it will be my staple it will be my fourth inning snack. Break it down first. So what we have is spiraled potatoes covered in the aforementioned flaming hot Cheeto dust covered with all sorts of cheese and crema and toppings. And it's just like an amazing. It's kind of like a fully loaded tots or a fully loaded like nachos kind of in between

those two things. But the the potatoes were amazing. And when I got to them, they were cold and I was so full that I literally couldn't stuff food in my mouth anymore. And when I ate these, it made me regret not going to them first. And I still finished it. I had no business finishing any of these things I was trying at this point. And these were by far the best thing I had all day. Once again, using that promo code D.E.R. And you're checking out at any food stand at Chasefield.

They have had the sidewinders before, but they've never had them like this. Like these are covered in chicken. and cheese and toppings. And most importantly, there is a lot of stuff covered in flaming hot Cheeto dust this year. I'm for it. Yeah. Spice is a butter. They look like a heart attack in a small compact form, though.

That's exactly what we're looking for. Yeah. Plog my arteries. It was interesting to hear it because we've gotten two years without them having this crazy new food, right? Yeah. And that was, I mean, it was even jokes there for a while that they, like, oh, the Diamondbacks are more worried about, like, the new food items than actually going out and picking up players. And now they're back to that. which is still unfortunately the case about the players thing.

It's just nice to see them doing this because that, you know, I joked, but that Chase Field seems like a, like mall that's half closed at times when you went to it. So now to see all of the new food additions and to have this kind of stuff back, there's just life to that place again, even if it's not going to be very extremely full of people at times. Chris saying I have a date with that tomorrow. She's heading straight for the sidewinder tots. What is it? It's a buffalo chicken sidewinders.

Sidewinders is what they call the potatoes. Okay. I actually thought it was going to be a sandwich when I first read about it. That's what I thought. Yeah. Interesting. Mine is a classic. I am a routine type of person, so I don't think I've changed my ballpark routine in a couple years.

And mine is a soft pretzel with cheese because I think soft pretzels are elite. They are the best stadium food ever. I will go on record saying that and I will die on that hill. There's nothing better than salty, buttery bread and. cheese. I'm sorry, that's like my two main food groups. So my fourth inning snack will forever and always be a soft pretzel and cheese. I only like pretzels if it's from Antianns or what's those pretzels. Really? You don't like the ones at the book. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. I actually have some of the lowest standards of food that you will ever experience and I think everything is good.

So when I like try to act like, oh, something's not good. The fact of the matter is I'm like eating it all and licking my fingers. Like there's nothing. There's nothing that I won't. Amen. Yeah, I love cheese. Yes, I love food too. I'm the same way. I'm just so critical now of, because I can't stop from gaining weight no matter what I eat of like the calories that I,

that I intake being actually like good food. So I'll get really disappointed when I'm in the middle of something that I'm like, man, I can't believe this burger isn't better because I'm wasting all this calorie on it. Just like, like I'm not going to stop eating and I'm still eating the thing. I actually have the same perspective. Yeah. Culver's pretzel bites are legit, says Chris. I've never

tried them before. Max's take is ridiculous. Yeah, Max, if you don't have if you just eat soft pretzel, that's so weird. You have to have some condiment. I would skip the pretzel before I skip the cheese. Right. Yeah, I'll just start scooping cheese with teeth fingers out of the air. I also put mustard on my soft pretzel sometimes. Yeah, I like that. I don't, I can't.

I love mustard. I love mustard. I love mustard. Yeah, so good. We're just killing Jacob right now. I know. Our producer is dying of hunger behind the computer right now. o'clock. I might break into the stadium and don't make myself some food on that team. Okay, before we get to our seventh inning stretch hot dog, we are going to take a bit of a

seventh inning stretch break because I got to tell you about our guy, you guys about our brand new partner, which I'm so, so excited about OGs brands. They have a new partner in the house and we're super excited to welcome them into the pHNX family. OGs is one of America's first original scratch made cannabis kitchens and is dedicated to creating innovative and memorable cannabis-infused products that flavors life journey. The quality of their products stem from the combination of accurate dosing and an amazing flavor. Edibles are not a one-size-fit-all product, which is why OGs is proud to offer a wide range of products for all demographics and preferences.

Their motto is flavoring life, and that's something we can all get behind. I've had their indica orange cream sickle gummies. I take them before, like an hour before I want to go to bed. Knock out. I've done it two nights in a row now, including last night, and then best sleep of my life. I woke up and I was like, I didn't wake up once last night, feeling so well rested.

And the orange creamsicle flavor, oh, so good. I might need to call somebody and have them make me some with no T. H.T. in it because I could eat an entire bag of those because of how good place. Yeah. Oh, my God. I would crush an entire bag of them. If they didn't have T.H.T. them, I would be high out of my mind. But no, you guys, you have to check out.

Check out OG's brand gummies. The orange cremicle flavors are my favorite. Have you tried anything yet? Yeah, I really like the orange cream sickle. But I've, yeah, I've tried them all. They've got tropical flavors that include guava, strawberry kiwi, raspberry orange, and pinocalada. I mean, you guys, they're so good.

So check them out. And they really, I think that's the biggest thing. Like with gummies and edibles in general, you can get a really strong flavor in there that like doesn't make it desirable to eat, right? Yeah, true. choke it down. These are, like you said, these are so good that, I mean, they easily could be something you eat for just eating purposes without having THC.

Just a little snack. But you're not getting those. Like I said, and two, if you like the orange dreamticle one, you can take them before you sleep and you just knock out and have the best sleep of your life. If you're interested in trying these amazingly delicious, a variety of flavors that OG's brands has to offer, go to OGsbrands.com. That's OGEEZ brands.com to find an OGEs brands.com to find an OGE's.

Derek and I are wearing our hats today. I've got the dad hat on, which is an absolute classic. It's my favorite style, which is also like a baseball hat, I guess. A little dad hat. Derek, what hat do you have on the trucker hat? I have on the trucker hat with the mesh back. Yes. It's perfect for Phoenix in the summertime here.

We love to be together. So join the PHNX family at go-PHNX.com. All right. Let's get into our seventh inning, hot dogs. Yes. Sean, what do you put on your hot dog? Before, wait, actually, before you talk, I judge a person based on their hot dog. So this is going to be really revealing.

Okay. So. I don't know we were doing this. This is going to be very revealing about all of you because if any of you put only ketchup on your hot dogs, we cannot be friends because that is what serial killers do. Catch up on a hot dog. I thought that would make you a great friend with them. Right.

It is, like, I could eat, I could definitely eat one. They're good. But also just live better life, like live more, do a little more than just put ketchup on the hot dog, right? Yeah. There's so many things you put on it. So, like I said earlier, I'm a big value dog guy. So when I'm getting the value dog, I'm just, I'm throwing ketchup, mustard, relish,

onions on it. But if I can have any kind of hot dog, I'm going chili cheese dog. Okay. It's just, especially if you get like the fresh redid cheese on there, throw some onions on there. It's, the chili cheese dog is just amazing. I feel like people need to get more adventurous with their hot dogs. It's a vehicle to put so many good things on it. It's just, I could eat like four to ten chili cheese dogs in one sitting, depending on the size of the hot dog.

What? This is like a game show now because when you're a part of me that wants to go, okay, prove me. I want to see that happen right now. I could definitely sit down and eat. Guys, I'm really self-aware. I'm like really self-aware, 10 hot dogs. I was being sarcastic. No, I could seriously.

Like if we're talking like just the value dogs with the ketchup and mustard on it, I could eat six or seven of those at a game. Oh yeah. Easily. Yeah. A chilly cheese dog, I'd probably max out about three or four because it's got a lot on it. Yeah. Chili cheese dog is probably my second favorite. Really quickly, Chris asking, Deeline killed it on the hats. Yes, he did. Shout out to our designer Eric. Always amazing. What payment methods are there for the shirt tomorrow? Definitely cash. I know we'll, I think cash is going to be preferred. We may have our credit card system there, but I cannot confirm. or deny that. So bring cash just to be sure because we'll definitely be accepting cash. I'm not too sure if we'll have our credit card system or not, but we will be accepting cash for the new shirts. And okay,

Cherson, what are you putting on your hot dog? Well, we all know how I feel about emulsified meat. Do we? How do you feel about emulsified meat? Have we talked about this? Yeah.

Well, the first time we talked about it, Michaela, you were not here. But we talked about it again on a different show. I think, hot tugs are absolutely delicious. I also think that they are not good for you.

So I don't feel strongly about them anymore in terms of like health, but none of this on opening day Eve. You're going to drop this bombshell. I would. I would eat a hot dog. Like if it was like, okay, I haven't had a hot dog in a year, I'll have one. Okay, so this is my one hot dog.

I would put on jalapenos, no doubt. No doubt jalapenos, relish, onions, ketchup, and that's it. No mustard. Yeah, I'm no mustard. I had mustard on there. you got me. The jalapino is a great touch. Yeah, I'm down with the jalapinos, the onions, but I'm not a relish person.

I think relish people, because our producer Jacob is also, and he doesn't like pickles. Again, kind of coward. Just eat pickles. How do you not like pickles? Oh, so you like pickles? You just don't like relish. Yeah, it's pickles. It's literally just pickles. Yeah, but I don't like, it's like a texture.

Are you talking about dill relish or sweet ralish? I'll eat either. I'm a sweet person. Oh, sweet. I think if you're a dill person, again, you're just boring. You're a dill person, aren't you? Man, that sounds good. Pickles or dill relish or any of that to be in my house.

Oh, I really want a hot dog now. I have not had one in L. My mouth is water. I don't even know the last time I've had a hot dog. You know the most depressing part about this is what is my lunch? A salad. Like, I don't get to have any of this fun, good stuff. I'm going to eat a salad after this.

Oh, that's okay. I'll join you. I love salads. Chris is going dill relish. Sweet pickles are saying I hate sweet popcorn. I think this is probably the first time I've ever disagreed with Chris. Charles saying ketchup and mustard relish if they have it. That's a classic.

Emma saying I feel so attacked for my hot chocolate. dog preferences now Emma if you put just ketchup on your hot dog you would need to leave Charles Woodall Pike says here that the oh my god talk about a cereal you guys you body's buried Emma eat a plain hot dog our intern Emma eats nothing on her hot dog I don't feel comfortable being in this room alone right now we should are we going to be allowed to leave what other things do you eat oh my God that is disgusting Do you put toppings on hamburgers or do you eat them played too?

Oh, I would rather have a... You put the worst most useless topping on it. I would rather have a burger. Open the door and push her out. You're out in the hallway. I would literally have just meat and bread before I had meat, bread and lettuce. That's terrible. Emma, we should have a talk.

No, it doesn't make it. No, absolutely not. No. Everything needs a condom. It's a vehicle. It's a vehicle. It's a vehicle. It has to have a condiment on it.

I don't know. I have not had a hot dog good enough to stand on its own. Chishen and hire condiment gals. We like to drown everything on the eat in condiments. That's what they're for. Hot dogs burgers, they're literally a vehicle for the toppings. Yeah,

I agree. Same as salad. The lettuce is pointless. Unless you have. The lettuce is literally just a vehicle. They all work together. The cheese burger and it's, yeah.

No, it's pointless. It's come together as a family. But it's not, it's pointless. I'm not eating a plain burger. Yeah. No, me either.

out of here. Emma's Uber and a Buffalo. Bye. I was going to say, I was like, I thought you were talking trash about Buffalo. Derek, what are you getting on your hot dog? I am getting grilled bacon, pico de gallo, ranch style beans and mayo, also known as the Sonoran dog, the best hot dog that you can get at Chase Field. All are going to hands down.

So I saw this on your list, Derek, and I was like having this conversation in my head, like, this is such an Arizona thing. I'm like, in my head, this is all in my head. this is all in my head. I'm like, what does Fenway have clam chowder? And then I was like, does it?

And it does it. Lobser rolls and clam chatter. Yeah. Also in San Francisco, they have lobster rolls and they're incredible. That's awesome. Chicago dogs. There's just,

there's something about the Sonoran dog. I mean, it's, I even feel like the hot dog itself at the particular stand. You get it at at Chase Field is better just the hot dog than anywhere else. But I think it's been the lack of like having these dogs with like, like great toppings on it and the Diamondbacks are coming strong with that this year

there's so many different chili dogs like there's so many things that come with chili on it so they're just that between that and the Cheeto dust man things are getting Ligs of popping dust the first you gonna go to this year I'm going to go full like Squidward when he discovers crabby patties

and just explode. Yeah just eat everything I think like bacon wrapped hot dogs can tend to be a little bit overrated at times because it just becomes a thing. Like you don't really taste the bacon as much I can't do it.

But man, they just, they nail it. I've never understood why everything has to be wrapped in bacon. Like bacon is because bacon makes everything better.

No. The only thing I like is bacon wrapped jalapinos. That's about it. Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. Yeah. Oh. Yeah.

But a hot dog with mac and cheese and bacon on it, flawless. Yeah, that would be good. I would eat that. Wait,

what did you just say? Immaculate. What did you just say? Throw the flu. fruit on what on a hot dog with mac and cheese and bacon stop actually no I don't like hot dogs in my mac and cheese I thought that was awful as a kid if there was ever hot dogs in my mac and cheese I would oh I would like dip into the mac and cheese and cheese and like eat it can we address mac and

cheese is not a good topping for anything by the way false false mac and cheese at the ainsworth getting one on opening day has so many mac and cheese dishes that are to die for they got macon cheese fries macon cheese burger oh I just I don't like it on stuff because it's a I guess I assess it as like a ballpark thing is what I'm thinking of whenever they because they do have at Chase Field all these crazy hot dogs and stuff and the one thing I don't think that they

equate is that you're going to be sitting at your seat eating it in your lap and that's something I think everybody needs to take into consideration. Charles Littlepike saying mac and cheese is such a good topping thank you Charles I literally like lived off mac and cheese in college mac and ketchup. Don't even

it's just more pasta it's pasta on top of I'm telling you, everything has to have a condiment. Everything has a condiment. Yeah, macchiseise. Mac and cheese, hot sauce and ketchup and black pepper. Did you say ketchup and your mac and cheese? Yes.

That's literally something four-year-olds do. No, it's not. There are plenty of Canadians that also put ketchup on the macon cheese. Oh, yeah, because that's going to. I'm Canadian out more. Directly to a region and back you up. And Canada's a region. Yes, Derek, the snoring hot dog is chef's kiss.

Mm-hmm. Okay. So I put, I would have gone with the chili cheese dog if Sean hadn't already taken it because they do love chili cheese hot dogs. But the other go-to that I constantly, my other favorite, is straight up just mustard on my hot dog. And yes, that is a real picture of a mustard on hot dog that I took at Corsefield at a baseball game. You're judging people for having just ketchup, but you have just mustard. That's all acceptable. That's the worst take you ever had.

There was so much mustard on that. Just mustard is fine. Yeah, yeah. That's not about that. That was more mustard than it was hot dog. That's the way you're supposed to eat it. You drown everything in condiments. The amount of condiments is perfect.

Just mustard is acceptable. Just ketchup is criminal. Emma needs to stay out of the comments because just mustard is better than nothing. Yeah, Emma, shut up. Also, I'm choosing just ketchup before I choose just mustard. No, just mustard. Mustard is the only, only mustard is the best most elite way to eat a hot dog. If you put ketchup anywhere on your hot dog, you are insane.

If we're talking about ketchup and mustard, I put both on my hot dog. and I put an equal amount of both. Just mustard. That's it. I don't know what Charles is saying or what point was he saying is valid, but I'm going to go ahead and say that it's. It's mustard related. Worstead.

I'm always saying that. Yeah, worst. No, mustard on hot dog. Okay, you guys, stop. It's so good. Mustard is the most elite condiment. She went from saying ketchup on. Hachup is disgusting on hot dogs.

It's like a sweet. Not the most elite condiment. How do you put a sweet? How do you put a sweet tomato soup on a hot dog? hot dog and think that it tastes good. Mustard is spicy. Not tomato soup. What are we talking?

Mommy and Marlene. Okay, Ms. Marlene, who the show is dedicated to, ate hot dogs with just mustard. So that just shut up everybody's argument. It's the most elite way to eat a hot dog. That was a rocky dog in the picture, by the way. I love Rocky dogs. They're foot long hot dogs.

Sorry I just started World War III over my hot dog take, but if you're going to eat a hot dog, mustard is the only way to eat it. No, you won't. First off, if we're going like, you need to put all the condiments on it. The one thing about, I love relish, with the one thing about relish,

is it's incredibly hard to apply unless you have the jar and a spoon. Because you get the little packet's not, but you need mustard and ketchup, I think. I think that Michaela needs to go give Emma a ride home and both of you need to do it. With the Uber.

Come on, Emma. We're going to do it. A hot dog. You can have all the busters. All right, let's round things out with our home run desserts. I'm excited for this one because I get the same dessert

at every game. guys are probably noticing a theme here I stick to my ways Sean what is your home run dessert that you end off your ball game experience with there's about 80 different ways I could go with this and I'm not going to ruin it but yours was one I considered terrific choice but I had to go classic okay ice cream in a mini helmet yeah it's just there's nothing more baseball that was my favorite choice on anybody's list anyway it's and also for the record vanilla with rainbow sprinkles is the best form of ice soft of vanilla with rainbow sprinkles is the best form of ice cream and it's literally not a conversation I'm willing to have.

I don't know why you start off with saying something so smart and then end with something so stupid. I'm talking when you're looking at like just a got the helmet and then a vanilla ice cream and the sprinkles, it's a beautiful picture. Vanilla ice cream is disgusting. But sprinkles are not a good topping. They don't taste good. No, drinks are great. They're just a little

bit. Chocolate. I don't like chocolate. And I'm willing to admit that that's weird. Like I'm not going to sit here and pretend that. How about caramel? Oh, yeah. Carmel's flawless. Love it. Side note. My friend had a taste. My friend had a take like a hot food take dipping chicken nuggets in caramel. Yeah. Love it. That's a chicken and waffles. Just think chicken waffles.

No, that's a Wendy's. That's created at Wendy's and that is a valid take. You can dip anything in frosty and it's good. The mini helmet A, it's a built-in souvenir. It's true. I have a few of them. Back home in the little village that I lived in, the dairy queen there. The village? I lived in the village of Hamburg, a Buffalo. Well, I lived in the town of Hamburg and there was a village inside of that, and my

ground lived there, and I went to the dairy queen there. irrelevant but they always had Upstate New York's weird It is weird Yeah thank you They had They always had mini helmets That you can get your dairy queen in

And they would just have random MLB teams Yep Yep So it was Did you collect all 30 like I did? I never had all 30 Plus I hate the Yankees So I would refuse to use the Yankees ones

But otherwise It's just You're eating out of a helmet That's awesome Like it's so cool I think there's not much work to I know it's so true I have a few at my desk

From the ballparks I've been to I use them as souvenirs Yeah, I made it a point to try to collect all the teams in Puerto Rico when I lived there in 1997. And the funny thing about it was one day I went in and they were like, oh, we got a new one. And it was the Diamondbacks. And I hadn't even seen a piece of Diamondbacks merchandise up to that point. And they had the Diamondbacks and the Devil Rays. And yeah.

You guys want to know the most elite ice cream helmet I've ever had in my life. I hate admitting it because it's at Dodger Stadium, which is blit. but at Dodger Stadium they put oh shoot what is that at Disneyland the yeah they put doleip they put dolep in a Dodger helmet

and then they stick churros in the doll whip it was a life changing I died and went to heaven on spot it was so good hands down one of the best things they've ever had in a ballpark was dolep churro helmet

that does sound dolep is flawless trills flawless right my two favorite that is in a helmet That is just a perfect. It was incredible. It sucks that the Dodgers have it because I hate the Dodgers, but whatever.

By the way, the thing that makes Animal Kingdom the best Disneyland park is you can get a dull whip with rum in it. So that's why it makes animals the best Disney World Park. I love that. Something Derek would say. I could feel you judging me as the words came out of my mouth. If you wanted something Derek would say drinking around the world that I've caught. Oh, it's so good. It's the greatest experience.

Tirston, what is your home run dessert? I have to say something. I don't get dessert at games. I go for beer and food. You only have so, you only have like so much room in your stomach and I would rather have another beer than end it with dessert.

So I normally am never eating, I'm never eating dessert at a game ever. Ever? You're just wholeheartedly swearing it. No, I'm just not doing it. No, no. I don't have room. There's no room.

There's always room. But for the sake of this, I thought a chocolate milkshakes sounded really good, so there you go. Hey, they have some amazing milkshakes that Chase Field, too, by the way. Again, use promo code D-E-R-In-A

to get 50% off. Milkshakes are the best form of ice cream. Yeah, they're great. It's so good. I love a good milkshake. Vanilla malt. No, ew, vanilla is awful. It's so boring.

There's nothing that upsets me more. I'm going to stop before I get triggered. All right, Derek, what is your home-run dessert? My home-run dessert's the Shiro dog. Of course. A classic. I mean.

Have you had that? Yes, I've had it several times. As a matter of fact. Wow. Producer Jacob giving a thumbs down. New addition to the P.HNX family, Bo Brack and I at one time had a race to see who could eat three truro dogs fastest. Which one of you threw up from? I don't know about that.

I believe it was Bo. Wait, Jacob, can you explain why you're giving a thumbs down to the churrow dog? Go ahead. Give it up, Jacob. And I'm going to tell you how you need to properly eat a trot dog. Mike, if it wants to work. There it is. Sean heard my reasoning earlier.

It makes sense. You put ice cream on top of the churro and the donut. The churro then gets hard. It is no longer a warm churro, which makes it gross. He is absolutely correct. And then the donut gets dry. And the ice cream? It melts.

It melts. Into a puddle. It is not an elite dessert. So then how do you fix it? It is. Here's how you fix it. Jacob, when you go to the stand, you say, I'll have the churro on the side.

And I think in some cases they're even starting to like make a little, like give you the same little churro like holder that they give you if you're just getting a churro plane, right? So then you can either eat it separately, which is amazing. Or you wait until you get to your seat. If you eat it quickly, the problem is you're not eating it at the churot dog stand. You're not standing there after you get it. You're eating it. You're walking back to your seat. And you know how that is.

The usher is going to hassle you about the ticket. You got to pull your phone out. show them you got to get this you're going to sit down you're going to watch a little bit of the game before you sink your yeah and at that point it's already gone it's too late you can't it can't be that long it's a very quick process from the time that the churro enters the dog until it's ruined i prefer it's like i prefer to enjoy my food so i'm telling you how to enjoy it i'm telling you to remove the churro from it and then eat it at your you know it's two separate things it's two separate things at that point it's no longer the churro dog hey but you paid for one right don't

Do you feel like you got a value now, Jacob? Come on. Think the best way you can. I'll never get to enjoy it because of the chocolate eclare. No? No, I don't like chocolate, so I can't do it. Okay. Such a weirdo.

I know. That's a full hand. You talk about myself awareness. I'm fully aware. I cannot eat chocolate and it is weird. I wish I could, but. Tristan, you're going to say something? No.

Yeah, I forgot. Okay. Mine is a classic and it's just one third of this chiro dog's situation. I just go with a plain churro. Churros are elite. Here again is a actual churro that I ate at the baseball game. You guys are noticing of a actual churro. It's a real one.

It's a real one. A real churro that I ate at a baseball game. Besides the lemonade guy, isn't there a guy, he goes, Churro? Yes. I can't roll my eyes. You can't. Well, that's sad. Sorry for a headphone user.

No, do it again. That wasn't me really trying. That said, Cherson's laugh. just ruin the show. Oh, man. Well, I said, I, I said, Tula, lalalalalalal.

All right. Everybody's dying. Oh, my God, that was amazing. His literal tears in both my eyes and Max. Oh, my God. She's not wrong. The Chiro guy, Chase Field, is right up there with a lovely guy. Oh, my God.

His ability to not only roll his eyes. but to scream it as loudly as he can is oh my god I'm dying yeah so we have the lemonade guy at chase field and then the turrrrrr girl guy um who I love I always get a churro at every baseball I like how it's different every time you roll the heart a different way oh boy oh boy me actually trying is like a I'm done what that's me trying to roll my hours I just can't do it can you guys do it Churro. Chorro. Okay.

It's just Sean that can't. Ashley, did you know it's genetic? It's a genetic thing. Interesting. Yeah. So you're genetically weird. Your parents screwed you. Sorry.

Wow. That was very elitist. I'm crying. Okay. So, yes. I was fed on cooking. Good Lord. Yeah.

That explains everything. Chiro's are elite. That's my go-to. As you can tell by all the pictures that I put in my slides. I'm a traditionalist. I stick with my routine. Turros are like a top-tier dessert regardless of the situation. Oh yeah.

Anywhere. Coated in cinnamon, elite. I went to Disney World or just sorry, Disneyland in California and I set a record. My personal record for a amount of cheros eating in a day is at 12. Did you eat the flavored ones? Like the pineapple one? No, just classic. 12 troughs.

I spent over $100 on troughs. That's why cinnamon toast crunch is the best cereal. Chorros, like anything coated in cinnamon sugar. Yeah, so good. Churros are my favorite thing ever. $100 on troughs? Oh, okay. I thought you were mad at a

I missed that I spent over $100 on Trillo in Disneyland Dole whips are right there? I'm sorry, I love Trudeau so much. They're so good. And also my mom paid for my ticket so I had money to spend on Turer's. I don't regret anything.

I would do it again. Well, I'm excited for opening day. I hope this made you guys excited for opening day. I'm just so happy baseball's back. Baseball is elite. It's the best sport. And I'm so excited to sit inside Chase Field with all of my first.

and get fat all all baseball season and watch baseball. I'm super pumped and it's tomorrow. Yeah, well, it's a long season. So that's the reason why you can't go out to half of the games and eat all the time. But like, I don't know. I think that the changes that they made make it fun. You have obviously all the traditional stuff. Like when you brought up the mini Sunday and the ice cream helmet,

the one thing I can think of is that probably started as a promotion somewhere. but now it's just a universally beloved, like, item that you can get at every ballpark everywhere. So, you know, same thing with like Truro's and other things. It's becoming all part of it. But I love the food. I love the pageantry. I think the one thing that's funny about baseball is how quickly people kind of get over it

when it comes to like, oh, the season's here, opening days here, cool. And then people kind of are ready to like move on. Not on this podcast. We're excited for baseball. A message for the baseball haters, you don't have to like baseball to enjoy going to a baseball game. That's such a great point. It is the best live, like, just. No.

Enjoy, like, not, not the sport. Like, when I go to, like, if I'm watching a baseball game on TV, I'm watching a baseball game. If I'm at a baseball game, I pay very little attention to the actual. Yeah. Like, I'm just there for the vibes. The sounds, the music, the smells. It's just unbelievable. It's an unmatched experience.

I'm super excited for opening day. And as a reminder, one more time, we have our opening day watch party tomorrow. Please RSVP, come hang out with us.
