Go, go Astros! Game six of the World Series tonight and the Astros are going to bring it home. Here come the Astros, burning with desire. Here come the Astros, breathing orange fire. Here come the Astros, with winning on their mind. Here come the Astros, number one every time. Go, go Astros, number one every time. Go, go, Astros. Go, go, Astros.

Oh, baby, I'm telling you, it is going to be lit in the box tonight because not only is Fromber going tonight, and Fromber's going to go out there and deal because that's what fromber does and not only is the king going to be yelling play ball but mattress mac is going to be throwing out the first pitch and he he intimated on social media he might have been joking who knows but he intimated on his social media that he may, may come out dressed as the meme that's been going everywhere with the headband and everything. I don't even know who drew that, but it has exploded. Like, it's the greatest thing ever.

It is everywhere now. Every person has made a t-shirt. I know our guys at 97 Graphics have. There's tumblers of that meme. It's everywhere. He's signing autographed pictures of the meme to sell for the Astros charities. Oh, that's awesome, too. So in that video that we're talking about, he printed out a bunch of 8x10 glossies of this meme, signing all of them.

And I guess they're going to be selling them at the game tonight. Like, this Mattress Mac is the most brilliant human to ever walk the face of the earth when it comes to marketing. Nobody does it better than Mattress Mac. And he's going to be on hand tonight to win, what, $75 million or whatever he's going to win. When the Astros win the whole damn thing tonight. It is a coronation tonight. There is no losing tonight. I hope not.

There isn't. Their chance to win this damn series was in Philadelphia. They had their chance when the TV was telling you how great their fans are and how loud it is and how tough it is to play in there. Hey, A-Rod, how tough was it when you played here? Let me tell you, it was so hard. That's not how A-Rod sounds

at all. That was more like Bob from La Bamba. If Bob from La Bamba was on the pregame show and Bob from La Bamba, they were like, hey, how tough is it to play in Philadelphia? He would have said, it's not my first or my last. That's what he would have said. Now, all that said, you watch these big hype pieces for Philadelphia. Hey, we eat cheesesteaks. Hey, we're tough. Hey, our broads are fucking ugly all that stuff and they still only managed how many wins one they won one game in that stadium i'm interested to see the pieces they do about

houston though like on the pre-game and i know we're gonna be watching lsu alabama leading up to the first pitch so we're not gonna see all the you know the hype videos for houston and stuff but i am curious to see how they are compared to like how they blew Philly. Yeah. I mean, they, maybe they were assuming they were going to win the series. Maybe they're scared of them. Like a lot of the other dopes in the world are, I don't know. Was it lids that accidentally posted the, uh,

championship merch for Philadelphia? Yes, they did. Lids actually did. They posted the championship gear, uh, which is funny, but, um, yeah, so it's, uh, I'd say, I don't know what they're going to do when they cover Houston tonight on these broadcasts. I don't know who they're going to use in their hype videos. I don't know what they're going to do.

But tonight is a coronation because the Astros are winning this game tonight. There's no way it goes to a game seven. Fromber's going to pitch his dick off tonight. They're going to get just enough offense like they do. In a perfect world, they'd come out and they'd score seven runs in the first inning, ball game over. That'd be nice. That'd be great.

We sit back, we enjoy it, we celebrate. Because they are winning this thing tonight in Houston, and we're celebrating. And if you're listening to this before the game, our plan is to go on Twitch after the game and celebrate tonight. They're getting the W and we're popping bottles. Let's hope. We're popping bottles tonight. And we're going to celebrate L're popping bottles. Let's hope. We're popping bottles tonight.

And we're going to celebrate LSU beating Alabama. Let's hope for a couple things. Let's hope, A, that the Astros win tonight, and B, that the Twitch actually works, because it may not. There's that. But none of this matters. What matters right now is the ballgame that's going down in Houston tonight. We are hyped.

We are jacked. Everybody was blowing Philly for the last three days. All they did in Philly was lose two out of three night we are hyped we are jacked everybody was blowing philly for the last three days all they did in philly was lose two out of three and put the astros in position to win the series at home game six tonight big celebration in the h i'm i'm excited to see mcdougall on twitter bitching about how fromber's obviously cheating can't wait oh that Oh, that's going to be huge. Can't wait. We're going to get tons of this guy's cheating, what's on his hands. The umpires are cheating for the Astros.

We're going to get all that. None of it matters. One thing I wish, I wish that we can be in that building tonight if, I mean, I'd like to be there anyway because it'd be awesome. Yeah. But if Mattress Mac goes out there with the do-rag on. And the chain. And the chain and throws out the first pitch wearing that,

which would be brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. If he does that, that place will, it might collapse. Yeah. You will have never heard a lot, other than possibly, maybe possibly when George W. Bush threw the first pitch at the World Series after 9-11. Maybe. Maybe that's the only other time a first pitch would be that impactful. He comes out there with the meme look and goes out there and throws a fucking strike

and that place collapses because it's so goddamn loud. My God, that's going to be electric. Holy shit. Oh, God, do it, Mac. Mac, I love you. You know I love you. I think you're the GOAT. You know you're the GOAT.

You're epic. Here's what I need from you, Mac. I need you to go out there with the fucking do-rag and everything on and just nail it. If he does that, like, I cannot think of a cooler fucking thing than any human has ever done. Ever. And, I mean, it's going to be loud even with just him throwing out the first pitch.

I mean, there was that petition that was going around that like on accident got like 170 000 signatures in like three hours yes for mac to throw out the first pitch i can't even just him throwing the pitch is going to be like monstrous but if he came out there with the chains with the do-rag and maybe with the styrofoam cup of purple shit yeah holy moly dude it is going to be b-a-n-a-n-a-s in the juice box like mac has taken over the world uh he's the biggest story that people in philly fucking hate him it's fucking great i love it they're sweating they're nervous i love it there's a guy what's this guy's name mark drew is that his name that's kind of gone viral for making astros kind of like hype like parody songs kind of but they're cool they're not That's kind of gone viral for making Astros kind of like hype, like parody songs kind

of. But they're cool. They're not like my kind of parody songs that are meant to be funny and wacky. They're actually pretty fucking cool. He's like an actual artist, I believe. He's not just, you know, a radio guy making parody songs. Well, I don't downplay my parody songs, but I can downplay my own parody songs. You can't.

Mark Drew. What's his Instagram? Do you have it pulled up still? Let me see here. I'll get his gram here in a second. But it's Mark Drew and our buddy Adam Sanchez, who's a big supporter of GIST Nation. He's a GISer. Yes, he is.

He has been very supportive. That's where we found the video. Yes, it is MarkDrewHTX on Instagram. And I think that might be the same on TikTok. That's kind of where this thing went viral. It's MarkDrewHT on tiktok as well and our buddy uh adam sanchez was awesome and he's a big fan of the show and we love him and uh that's where we saw this this this song is fucking killer it's a parody uh if you want to call it a parody i

actually want mac to come out to this song and it's called Don't Mess With The Mac. Yeah! Silly thing to do, cause it ain't gonna be no hits. That's the Philly thing to do. Don't mess with the mic. Don't mess with the mic. Don't mess with the mic. Whole city got us back. Don't mess with the mic. Don't mess with the mic. Don't mess with the mic. Whole city got us back.

They do. So good. Oh, that was good. I really appreciate the, you ain't going to get no hits. That's a Philly thing to do. Yeah, that's a good one. I enjoy that. That is solid work.

That's another thing I've been loving about the Philly people after they got no hit a few nights ago. They and all these media people across the country, because they're very anti-Astros. That's true. It's not me saying that as someone who's rooting for the Astros. It's just reality that they are very anti-Astros because of the cheating and all that shit. They're trying to downplay the fact that there was a no-hitter that happened. And yeah, it's not as cool as if a guy stays out there and throws 150 pitches and no-hits you. I don't think anybody's

trying to say that it is. Right, but this still doesn't happen every year at the World Series. This is only the second time there's ever been a no-hitter. And one team literally got no fucking hits in a World Series game. It is a no-hitter. Pretty cool. Like, the idea that it's like, oh, that's not a real no-hitter. That's a combined no-hitter. Tough shit.

But if the Phillies would have thrown that combined no-hitter... Yeah, fuck them. Like, again, it doesn't matter. It would be posterized forever. Yeah, it would be on a t-shirt by now. Fuck it. And that's the thing is,

nobody made that big of a deal out of it in Houston because they're used to being in the World Series and doing big things. Like, I think most people know that a combined no hitter isn't, you know, a guy throwing nine innings. Like, I get that. And I understand why it's not respected as such. Like, that's totally cool.

Right. But the idea that like, well, it wasn't a no hitter. Well, one team came up to the plate in nine different innings and didn't get a fucking hit. So it is, in fact, a no hitter. It is a no hitter. And still pretty rare, like it or not. It is extremely rare. It's happened twice. It's been happened twice ever in the, a no-hitter. It is a no-hitter. And still pretty rare, like it or not. It is extremely rare.

It's happened twice. It's been happened twice ever in the history of the fucking World Series. I don't care if it was combined or not. One team went out there and got a whole nine innings worth of players out without getting a fucking hit. I'm ready to go. And I think it's a fair criticism to say that the juice box sometimes is kind of a wine and cheesy feeling crowd. Like, you know, once you've been there there four times you get the rich folks that go and it's not i get the criticism that it's not as loud as other stadiums and it's not as rowdy sure but i think tonight

especially with mac i think you're going to hear the loudest houston crowd you've ever heard i i think it's going to be nuts i think so and you know and if i were there on the radio i'd be calling people out and playing all this audio of all these dopes and reading these posts saying that you don't get loud. That happened when the Saints played the Rams. I get they lost that game, but the Saints played the Rams and all week long, people kept talking about how the dome isn't very loud. And on the video board, they would play the clips of TV people, football players saying the dome isn't that loud. And I can tell you, the loudest venue I've ever been in was the Saints-Rams Superdome for the NFC Championship game. And early in the game, they forced an interception during that. And I think it was a sack-fumble type of situation. But still,

it gets the people going. I think sometimes when you're good for so long and you get spoiled, and Houston fans are spoiled. We've talked about that a lot. Houston fans are very spoiled. You get kind of just used to it. It becomes kind of ho-hum. The newness wears off. It's like being in a long-term relationship, whatever. Initially, everybody's all lovey-dovey, whatever. Later in it, everybody's less lovey-dovey. It's a different world. You get comfortable. You get used to it. I think the Astros fans have gotten comfortable and gotten used to being really fucking good and being in the World Series. When you do it four out of six years, that's going to fucking happen. the roof uh open tonight or closed no idea i'm thinking closed though i mean if we would have heard something by now i think

if it was going to be open and people would have been bitching so my guess is it's closed and if it's closed it's going to hold a shitload of sound and this is an opportunity and really people should be loud not just because it's the world series but this is the opportunity to change the perception of the organization now some people are just going to always view you as shitty scumbag cheaters but you can always come back at them and say all right we cheated in 2017 what's your fucking excuse in 2022 you still cheated doesn't matter you have the trump card and that trump card is we fucking won in a year that we didn't cheat whatever and we are the fucking champions go back to your fucking hole get your shine box and piss off that That's what you can tell people. So hopefully

people are loud and raucous and obnoxious and making life miserable because I'm sick of hearing about Philadelphia. Now again, they're loud because this is new to them. The Phillies are good once every 15 years or so. That's kind of their thing. They'll have a little stretch of being good, then they're obsolete for years, then they're good for a couple years. That's kind of their thing. They'll have a little stretch of being good. Then they're obsolete for years. Then they're good for a couple years. That's who they are. The people are really into it. I get it. This is new to them again. They're glad to be back in the playoffs for the first time since 11 for

World Series since 09. They're glad to be there. So of course it's loud. It's new to them. It's new to a whole generation of people. But it's important to note that the Astros have been there four out of six years. And I've been in that venue when it's been loud.

I know it can get crazy. I was thinking this too. Like, remember the last time they won the world series? Like we went and watched game seven at, uh, was it game seven? Yeah.

17. Yeah. Yeah. So we watched game seven at Woodrow's in Midtown. Yep. And like, it was fun when they won, like people were like doing shots. And I think like my hair was doused in tequila because people were just like going nuts there at the bar whatever but it wasn't like a Philly-esque situation I mean

people aren't climbing light poles people aren't losing their minds you're not hearing cars honking up and down the street you know like it was pretty subdued on the walk back home that night yep but that team was on the road. There wasn't a full stadium of people. So I'm wondering if they win it this year at home, are we going to get a more ruckus, exciting, holy shit, this is awesome celebration.

There's going to be 50,000 people damn near in the stadium. And they're going to take it to the streets and it's going to be a madhouse there. That's what I'm hoping. I want to see that. Because again, 2017 was awesome. But it didn't have, I mean, to me, and we weren't down be a madhouse. That's what I'm hoping. I want to see that. Cause again, like 2017 was awesome, but it didn't have, I mean, to me and we weren't down by the stadium,

but I mean, we didn't really see pictures or videos of people like going nuts, flooding the streets. You know, I want people to flood the streets. I want people to get nuts. Like, yep.

And I think they will. And if we win, I want a better fucking celebration. I want a bigger rally. Yep. We'll see. Does it involve Sheila Jackson Lee. Well, it probably will involve Sheila and Roller Governor and all of them.

Get it, Mark Drew, HTX. There's three things down here that you can never attack Astros, Whataburger, and Mattress Mac But once you cross the line, you can never go back You better maybe go Will Smith, you might get smacked Cause down here, plain and simple, Mac is the man He can save you some money, but not from these hands Treat him like the man, we do whatever we can To make sure that he's protected, that's a part of the plan And to the fan that disrespected, I ain't never heard of you

But I know that you ain't about to come to gallery furniture. And if you're trying to swing, that's a silly thing to do. Cause it ain't going to be no hits. That's the Philly thing to do. I'll mess with the Mac Don't mess with the Mac Don't mess with the Mac Don't mess with the Mac Whole city has it's back Shit's going down baby If they win I want Mac like MCing the rally

Yep that's what I want I want Mac on stage with the players I want Mac on like Well he should be on the Budweiser Clydesdale wagon Let's be real Not Gemini Yes Alright so tonight We're going to get on Twitch either way I think He should be on the Budweiser Clydesdale wagon. Let's be real. Not Gemini. Yes.

All right. So tonight we're going to get on Twitch either way. I think just, I want to see what the fucker still works. But the plan is to be on there and celebrate the Astros World Series Championship. And of course, also celebrate LSU beating Alabama. That will be a big celebration as well. That's not going to happen. All right. But anyway, Astros are going to go out.

They're going to get this shit done tonight. Frommer's going to pitch his dick off. Man, I hope so. They are winning this shit. Philly had their chance. If they were going to win this shit, they needed to do it in Philly. They couldn't get it done in front of the greatest baseball fans ever. Oh, they're so loud.

A-Rod, how tough is it to play in front of these people? Well, here I am talking to Philly Rob. Philly Rob, how loud is it in here? Fuck, did you know that the Phillies weren't very good to start the season? Did you know they have an interim manager? Did you know the Philly Fanatics are the greatest mascot ever? Did you know that these fans are loud? Did you know that most of them are fucking unemployed because they're fucking losers?

Did you know that their wives are fucking hideous? Oh, it's just not. Cheesesteaks, am I right? Fuck it. The Astros should bring out Joe Girardi. They should. Like a mind fuck you're like here to throw out the first pitch joe gerardi what the fuck yeah that'd be good all right we'll

see you guys later
