Wicked Radio 3-27: Celebrate Opening Day Of Baseball! And Closing Of NPR...Maybe · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is such a great day. You know that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: expression hope springs eternal. It kind of came from Opening
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Day with baseball, And I'm telling you, this is opening Day.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And now I realized that last week or whenever that was,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: was it the week before, I don't know, the Cubs
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers opened up baseball season with a couple
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of games in Japan. I get that, But this is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: opening Day. This is the day where I think there's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: what fourteen games on the schedule something like that. Baseball
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: comes alive. And if your trust me in an industrial
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: city where it's you know, you've been living in a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: dark for like the past six months, and you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: like in Cleveland or even Chicago or Detroit or something
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: like that, this matters. Baseball still matters.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm the first to criticize it because they just
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: have awful marketing, but baseball still matters, and it is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: still the national pastime, believe it or not, even though
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: football blows it away. But anyway, happy Opening Day, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: there's another thing to celebrate too. A little bit biased
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: because I'm on like year twenty now from coming from
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the media and local radio media, but even I was
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: still aware of how incredibly corrupt and biased NPR is.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Now that most of the country is aware after this
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: hearing yesterday of NPR being funded propaganda, I am celebrating
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this like you would not believe. I am so happy
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: about this because now most of the this really may
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: be the end at least of taxpayer funded national public radio,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: because propaganda is everywhere in the media, right It's everywhere
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you go. Everybody has an angle or a take. You
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just shouldn't have to pay for it with taxpayer dollars
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to be funded one way or the other. And I'd
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: say the same thing if it was biased the other way.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be biased at all when we're paying for it,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and we are anyway. We'll get to that as well,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to spend a little bit of time.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You may have noticed. I haven't talked about this whole
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: signal debate with the we're playing leaks at all this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: week because first of all, I think it's a controversy,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I really do, And secondly, I thought it would be
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: gone by now. This administration screwed this up so badly
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in the messaging and they were still talking about it yesterday.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: This was a major screw up, not in the original problem,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: but in how they message this thing. And I'm really
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: surprised at that. But don't let that stop you. It's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: opening day of baseball, and yes, we'll get to some
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: other stuff today, but fourteen games on the schedule. This
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is why I think baseball matters. I really do, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: less now because there's other sports. There's other competition for
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: your pastime, right, for things to distract you from all
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the craziness going on in your personal life and in
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the world and in the news and in the country
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. But this is really how
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we settle things in the country, and it started with baseball.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: City against city, state against state, whatever. Get out our aggravations.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's fun. It's still a great experience, as expensive as
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it is to go to a ballpark and enjoy the day.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is. Baseball sports in general, they still matter.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And then you get into if you've got a family
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: tradition and I kind of come from this too. We've
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: got generations of your family, maybe your parents, grandparents, great grandparents,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: whoever it was, and then you pass that on to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: your kids where you follow a particular sports tradition that matters.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And it always will. Now baseball has been incredibly dumb
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in their marketing. Yes, they're still losing ratings. I get
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that really truly, if you were to look into it,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: probably football, college football and the NFL that's the real
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: national pastime. But baseball still matters, and it's a great day,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: especially if and it always signals like the beginning of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the beginning of spring, the true beginning of spring, right,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and summer's coming, better days, better weather's coming. For people
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: who are stuck in the Northeast or the Midwest, it matters,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So enjoy baseball. Coming up a little bit, we'll talk
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: about some of the some of the inner workings of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what Opening Day means to people. But I got something
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: else bigger to celebrate. I am again, I'm just telling
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you talk about bias. I am completely one hundred percent
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: biased against national public radio. Okay, not so much PBS,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: but but that is an arm of national public radio.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It just is.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And here's why. So I come from a radio background. Obviously,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: right about twenty years ago, I really started to understand
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for the first time, and it blew me away. I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: always thought, like maybe you think and most of the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: country things right now, Well, NDPR. You know, every once
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in a while, I'll land on public television or something. They're
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: always asking for money, and it's listener or viewer donations,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and that's how it worked. Yeah, that's a big part
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of it. Then you realize how much taxpayer money goes
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: into specifically national public radio. It's a massive amount. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: then if you've ever paid attention to it, and you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: realize how unbelievably propagandized and biased this thing is and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: always has been, at least from my lifetime, you start
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to understand, especially if you've had to compete for ratings before,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: which they don't. You've had to compete for marketing dollars before,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: which they don't. You've had to compete for business and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: sell what you do on the air, which they don't.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And then you look at the propaganda that they push
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and it really just is enraging because most people aren't
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: even aware of it. I've said for years and been
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: on the bandwagon for years that we should make these
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: bastards compete for ratings number one, and they should never
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: get taxpayer money. Number two. Ever, they never should because
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the takeaway is propaganda is everywhere in the media. It
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: just is and I'm sorry if you love Fox News,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that's propaganda too. It's just some that you may agree
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with sometimes, and propaganda obviously on ninety percent, maybe more
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: than ninety percent of all the media outlets of mainstream media.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Of course, that's there, But you're not really truly paying
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: for that. We're not paying for that with your tax dollars.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You are, we are with NPR. Which is why I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: was so happy, so happy to see this yesterday exposed
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: before the entire nation in this hearing, an outgrowth of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Doze hearing. Why should we be funding NPR? I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: was hoping this would happen. I'll be honest with you, honestly,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: this is one of my issues that I voted for.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I really did. What were some of the top election
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: issues from election day, the campaign issues, the border, healthcare taxes, right,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: beefing up the national security, all of that stuff, the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: immigration crisis, all of that, right, all of it. I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: telling you, this is where the bias comes in. Just
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: as important to me was somebody finally finally looking into NPR.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Not the most important issue in the world, but it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a big one, which is why I was so happy
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: about this. So here was the questioning. Here's who was
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: on the stand or the hot seat, whatever you want
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to call it. NPR CEO Catherine Maher m a h r.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: She's only forty one. She's been there a long long
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: time now. Jim Jordan, you know, Jim Jordan, congressman from Ohio,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: former wrestling champion. He always gets there. And you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Jim Jordan's like really serious about things. He rolls up
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: his sleeves, he's always always got like sweat stains. Gone's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but he's great. He's great in these hearings because he
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: gets right to the matter. And he questioned her specifically
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: on three major issues that recently and this was key
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: during her reign as the CEO because she hasn't been
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: there that long. Really screwed up for some of the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: three biggest stories of all time. Russia Gate again, the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: propaganda which they intentionally pushed until it went away, you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the Russia Russia hoaks one and two against President Trump
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: until the very their very own Muller Report even realized
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that that was absolutely ridiculous. Hunter Biden's laptop which they
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: specifically buried. And there was another one too, how about
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: this one? And he gets right to the heart of matter.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: He's talking about the origins of COVID. Yeah, this is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the lableak story, which they intentionally We know this now,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: this is fact, not just my opinion. They intentionally better.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: How about the COVID origin story. That's pretty big story too, right,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: mister Berliner said, we became fervent members of the team
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Natural Origin, even declaring that the lab leak was debunked
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: by scientists. Turns out though the lab leak is what
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: most people think actually caused the COVID virus.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Oh sorry, sorry, sir.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: A question there there is. You guys were zero for
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: three on the three of the three of the biggest
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: stories in the last five years. You guys were zero
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: for three, and yet you maintain that MPR is not biased.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Congressman, I do not believe we are politically biased. To know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: we are a non partisan organization.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You're a non partisan organization taxpayer funded again, and I'll
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: keep You're gonna hear me say that like twenty more
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: times before we're done here. Taxpayer funded propaganda. You intentionally
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: misled the public paying your salaries for three of the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: biggest stories. It's not just last ten years, in our
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: lifetime truly if you're of our age. Russia Gate, the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Hunter laptop story, which would have swung an election. They
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: know this now, and the origin, the Lablik origin of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: COVID that they lied about two three of those, but
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they're not politically biased. He also earlier in that it
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: was way too long to play. He also realized and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: got to it. The eighty seven key employees of NPR,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: every single one of them are registered Democrats. And that's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: their choice. You can you could be whatever you want.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You can register as Democrat, republican, non doesn't matter. How
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: can you tell me with a straight face you've got
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: eighty seven to zero completely not only independent, just completely
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in the bag for one political party, and tell me
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that that bias doesn't come out. But you're a nonpartisan
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: organization taking taxpayer money. Right. But here was the best
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: part of the questioning. And this is the part that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: made me, that warmed my heart, that got me so excited,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: because most of the country has seen this one. Now,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this guy's line of questioning went viral. And this is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: where it matters because most of us, you know, just
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: normal people. Now I'm aware of them just because of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: radio stuff where most people looked at this and they said,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: NPR was hold on, we've been paying for this, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: this is the lady in charge of it. I'm talking
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: about Brandon Gill. He's a representative from Texas. What a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: great line of questioning because here's what he did, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: here's what you have to do. You make all this nasty,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but it's important to get to the heart of who
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you got to understand the people behind this. That's why
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: focus on the personalities, to understand why things are so crazy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: He got directly to her own words in the recent
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: past and a couple of years ago that she at
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the time tweeted out before it was x where you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: could say this kind of stuff. Right, here's Brandon Gill,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: congressman from Texas, throwing her own words in her face,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and she denied it. This is phenomenal.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: You think the white people should pay reparations.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I have never said that, sir.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, you did said it in January of twenty twenty.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: You tweeted yes, the North, yes, all of us, Yes, America, Yes,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: on this day.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal referations.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Sir, what kind of reparations was it a reference to?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I think it was just a reference to the idea
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that we all owe much to the people who came
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: before us.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, how I think my favorite part of that and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: what made it so effective was he did just like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: any of us would at a dinner party, Like if
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you were calling somebody on the carpet, handed their handed,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you handed them your phone. You said you you you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: tweeted this. No I didn't, and he goes like like
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: a kid, he goes, yes, you did. That's what connects
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: with people. Now. Try to tell me today. I can't
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: wait to hear and see the cognitive dissonance today for
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: defenders of NPR to hear that kind of stuff and say,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: she's not there's no, there's no, there's no bias with them. No,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it's it's that's that's the real news. Yeah, Okay, she's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a fervent believer in in reparations. If you're not familiar
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: with that, that would be anybody that's not black paying
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: black folks money, your money on top of taxpayer man,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I mean cash payments in some form for slavery which
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: happened before our ancestors were even born. That's that's where
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it's coming from. That's the CEO of this organization taking
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: your taxpayer money. But they're not biased, right, Defund them,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: get rid of it, lose it, stop paying it money.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: And I I truly think for the first time, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: at least my adulthood, I think it's gonna happen. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: really do because it has so much support to defund
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this monster, this monstrosity of biased propaganda. Like I said,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: here's the takeaway. Propaganda's everywhere. Can't avoid it. It's just
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: propaganda has infected the media. It's everywhere. It's in mainstream media. Yes,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it's in conservative media too.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: It just is.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You know, let's be big boys and girls and admit
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that it is. And you could choose your propaganda. Nobody
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: should have to pay for it, absolutely completely not that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: is so wrong. And I think we just started to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: crack the ice on this. I think there's enough support
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: now because of this hearing. Not all these hearings are effective.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: This is a really effective one because everybody's aware of
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it now. All right, I'm not gonna spend a lot
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of time on this but and I intentionally avoided this
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: story for the entire week. Now and here we are
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, the Signal app leak. Just oh, I'm so
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: sick of hearing about this thing, because I think it's
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: about a I think it's about like a lukewarm story
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of controversy. Anyway, the signal app. Key members of the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Defense Department were on a signal app, which is supposed
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to be an encrypted chat, you know, program, talking back
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and forth about what's been called battle plans, and it
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was leaked somehow. Someway, the editor of The Atlantic, I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: want to talk about bias and propaganda. The Atlantic Journal
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: got himself onto the chat. They think now is a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: staffer of Mike Walls, who's recently with the Department Offense,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: just nominated, you know, a couple of months ago whatever,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and he got a hold of this stuff and published
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: it and said and got everybody else it's battle plans.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: They're totally incompetent. We got to get rid of Pete hegxith.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: The interesting thing is, I don't know why they're going
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: after Pete Hegsit's the new Defense Department had the Defense
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Secretary so much. Maybe they think he's the easiest to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: pick off, but they really want him gone. Well, they've
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: already downgraded this and he said, I've got more, I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: won't publish it all. Well, they published it and it
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: was a lot less than The Atlantic actually proposed. But
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: let's be honest, this was a major screw up. How
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: does this happen? How does this loose ship get run
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: where the editor of The Atlantic gets even involved in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this signal app chap And this was all about bombing
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the hooties, you know, open up the shipping lanes in
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the Middle East. How does that even happen? What really
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: bothers me is and I'll be completely honest with you again,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: let's be big boys and girls to be honest about this.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: The administration of the Defense Department screwed up the messaging
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: on this so badly. From the initial screw up letting
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: this guy on the chat and also every single day
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: they're over explaining this thing. If you're explaining you're losing
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: yet again. Yesterday Pete hegsit is on there and some
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: tarmac talking about it. How there's no battle plans, there's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: no nothing. This is the message I wanted to hear
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, not today major screw up.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Let's admit that how came something that doesn't look like
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: war plans? And as a matter of fact, they even
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: changed the title to attack plans because they know it's
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: not war plans. There's no units, no locations, no routes,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: no flight paths, no sources, no methods, no classified information.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: You know who sees war plans.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I see them.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Great that Yes, they're not war plans right, they're not
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: even be called battle plans right now. Now they've already
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: changed that messaging. It doesn't change the fact that this happened.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted to hear that message on Tuesday morning and
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: then on Tuesday afternoon come out and say, you know what, though,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: but we screwed up two things. We screwed up. We're
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: going to tighten up the ship. And secondly, this proves
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that the unhinged Democrats will do anything they can to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: possibly you know, we can our standing in the Middle
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: East and beyond our with our defense plans, you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: turn it around, do something like that, do strong. I'm
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: really disappointed in the messaging. They screwed this up so badly.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anything else from them. They
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: should probably not even talk about it anymore. You screwed up.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: You fixed it. You did get the message out there
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that there wasn't anything in there that they're revealing, But
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: don't let it happen again, and assure the American public
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you're not going to let it happen again. Very disappointed
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: in the messaging. It was awful. They kept on talking
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: about it instead of getting ahead of the story. Was
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: so stupid. And yet there he is again yesterday talking
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: about it. Stop talking, Pete. So sick of that story.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But I'm going back to baseball because I'm just so
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: happy about this. Two things I'm happiest about. Number one
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: NPR going away maybe and number two open a day
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: for baseball. That's right, I'm back on it. Well, this
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: is interesting. I think there's fourteen games on tap today
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and they're all scattered. You've got to check your schedule
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. And yes, it was last week that
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Cubs actually opened up the season with
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of games in Tokyo. But how about this
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Google not the biggest fan of Google, but here we
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: are looked at the top baseball questions and ballpark foods
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: that Americans are searching for. So this isn't which ballparks,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: it's which foods and drinks and whatever we're most searching for,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that we're most interested in, because, can we be honest,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: sometimes in the doldrums in the middle of a baseball season,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: it gets really boring. Right, So you're at the ballpark,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: nothing going on, it's midweek, maybe even a Saturday game afternoon.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Isn't it about the food at the ballpark. There's something
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: about that. There's something about the food at a baseball
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: park that's just fantastic. Like I would never eat the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: kind of hot dog you get at a ballpark in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: regular life outside of a ballgame. You know. The joke
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: about leef Fenway Park, where I grew up was that
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: all of these things were boiled in like nineteen forty seven.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: They're awful. Fenway franks are awful, but I love them.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Something about food at a ballpark. So these are the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: foods and drinks that people are looking up. They posted
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a map top bar park food each state's been googling
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the past week. Number one ballpark beer. Yes, beer and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: baseball go hand in hand. I think what this was though,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: in this Google search was people were looking for who
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: had the highest prices, most likely brats. That's a Midwest
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: thing for sure, Midwest Midwest teams, corn dogs, yeah, fries, nachos,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: nacho's to becoming ballpark favorite in the past fifteen years, burgers,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: of course, pizza, pretzels, and pulled pork. Noticing a theme
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: with all of these. Something that happens. You walk into
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: a ballpark and your diets go. You totally changed. I
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: think people truly believe that now no health food at
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a ballpark, although like places in San Diego, they still
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: try it. Whatever, but it's the unhealthiest food in the world.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: But we love it and I'm right there with you.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Happy opening day, Happy closing of NPR. Hopefully fingers crossed
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: spread the word that that's a propaganda machine. But the takeaway,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: most importantly, and I'm serious about this, propaganda's everywhere. Get
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: it where you choose. Choose your own propaganda, because we
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: all do. Let's be honest. Just don't ever ever pay
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: for it, and don't take any crap from anybody. All right,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: thanks for find of the audio podcast too. Wherever you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: like to get those, it'll be posted in just a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes. Those numbers going up as well, thanks
• 18:58

• 19:10

• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and can't talk to you a bit.
