Producer Mike, it's two to one right now. No. Not, not, not, not. Look, look, yesterday it was 83 degrees. Mid Thought Chris: Pennsylvania is closed off to people. There are 50 car pileups every other day and you just can't make it through. You just can't make it through. It's so much snow and my cold blooded, cold blooded, my blood got thin is what I'm saying.

You just jump in your pool. Just jump in. Every time I'm hot, just jump in. I might be up there later on in the summer. Mid Thought Eric: i believe it when i see it Mid Thought Chris: No, seriously, I might pick you up there later on in the summer. Mid Thought Eric: I get our lies and false promises. Wait, tell me, tell me more about this. Tell me more about this summer trip. Mid Thought Chris: I've never lied to you. I've never promised you anything No, I might be up there I'll tell you I'll tell you offline. How about that? Sub course sub core Marty taking notes Why do I have a pen I like I can't be Mid Thought Eric: Subcore. I'm already taking notes. Use that pen. Get that pen. Get them. Visit Eric. Hold on. Here we go. I got a pen too. Chrissy Poo is coming to visit. Mid Thought Chris: I've got a bed too. I can't be trusted with things on the desk, you know what I'm saying? Like I get too like, I get too ⁓ grabby, you know what I'm saying? It's like a little gecko going after bugs. Mid Thought Eric: I know what you're saying. You've got to keep asking. Jittery. You're so excited. You're like, yeah, got that. Got that. Got that. I got a coaster. All right. The audience wants, they want entertainment. They want something good. Let's give them something good. I don't know. Mid Thought Chris: They want something good. So what are we going to give them? All right. What are you going to give them Eric? I don't know. For me to do that. Me talk. What do you mean me talk? Oh buddy. Mid Thought Eric: I was just, I was suggesting for you to do that. Because statistics show that they will listen for like 35 seconds and they're gone. So you got to those little sound bites. Mid Thought Chris: Take three. Careful. Producer Mike, is it really only 35 seconds? What are we getting? And producer Mike, please feel free. Please, please feel free to opine and come on camera. We would love to see and hear you. You are most welcome. No music. All nine lines open right now. I forgot to open up the chat. He might be saying something right now. Nope. Nothing. Mid Thought Eric: Well, that's on the shorts I don't know about this Please, Pine, lend your voice, lend your voice to the show. We still have all nine lines. We still have all nine lines open right now. Not lives, lines. He's get me out of here. He's renegotiating his contract. Mid Thought Chris: Get me out of here. He's already gone. He already left I want a larger share guys Yeah, mid thought ⁓ producer Mike you're already getting a bigger share than ⁓ You already got ⁓ a bigger share than I did so yeah Mid Thought Eric: This sucks! You're the envy of the town, that's all I know. Hmm. Mid Thought Chris: Me talk? do mean me talk? They just won today. Mid Thought Eric: So how about about those, how about those mats? One Soto's hurt, he's on the IL, his groin is destroyed. Straight, Okay, he's dead today. Mid Thought Chris: Is he on the IL? Or is he... I thought he was day to day. ⁓ Hey, ⁓ producer Mike, I've got a I sent you a video of a picture from the Mets. Not taking poo. So if we when you pull that video up, let's make sure we mute it. I think there's music on in the background. So. Mid Thought Eric: Ooh, not Jakey Poo though. Jakey Poo is still, he's still good. Well, we can play music if we stop it and we comment on it. Mid Thought Chris: No, no music. I don't think we can do music. I don't think we can do music. Mid Thought Eric: We're not doing that. No Timmy Trumpet Mid Thought Chris: No, did you see? Did you see the backup? The Timmy Trumpet? It's ruined. Mid Thought Eric: Yes, I was like what in the heck is going on here he went out there and it was ruined It was like one of the things that Mets actually did right like the Mets actually got that right and Then he was at the Los Angeles and they're like Yeah, and then they go out there and they're like, are they doing? What is this? What are we doing? This is the most confused game that I'm knowing Mid Thought Chris: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Didn't they get the actual guy a couple times? Who is this person? I'm I mean she might be a good trumpet player Yeah, let's let's do the let's do that video now the one with the picture So myth on Eric brings up the Mets and I I came across this video Eric Eric I came across this video the other day and it was pretty wild so Mid Thought Eric: BLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLEBLE do do do do do do do do do do do do The Metropolitans. Mm-hmm. All right. Mid Thought Chris: This picture is named Nolan McLean. Are you familiar? You know who Nolan McLean is? Mid Thought Eric: He is he is on my fantasy baseball team. He's he's he's on my staff. I trained him. Mid Thought Chris: He's on your fantasy baseball team. This dude you trained him. This dude's a freaking stud. ⁓ So I don't know about you but this would be absolutely impossible to hit. They kind of do a breakdown of like imagine you are staring this in the face. You've got ⁓ this guy throwing at you and so go ahead and hit play on that. The ⁓ first pitch is going to be a curveball and watch what this thing does. And like that that is a what did they say 22 inches of break right and then the other one goes 18 inches of run the opposite way so and then producer Mike can you go back and pause that real quick. Like go back to like where it breaks off where it breaks off into. When it when it when it shows those two separate colors is where I want you to stop right there. Mid Thought Eric: ⁓ Let's see those colors. Later. Mid Thought Chris: So, Eric, did you play baseball growing up at all? Mid Thought Eric: ⁓ I tried, yeah. I dabbled in it. Mid Thought Chris: You tried. Yeah. I mean, you and me both, right? Like I was terrible. I tried to pitch and I really had a good time. I enjoyed pitching. It was a good time. I played in high school for a little bit. No, most certainly not. So number one, I couldn't imagine facing 97 miles an hour. Like, like when you're on the road and you see 97 miles an hour go by you, I think is what I would love for people to kind of have this image in your mind. Mid Thought Eric: Yeah, it's fun. I like it. Yeah. But your pitches didn't look like that. Is that what you're saying? Mid Thought Chris: And if you're an audio listener, I just showed a video of a pitcher for the New York Mets named Noah McLean who throws a curve ball that that just just starts off at the same place as this fastball and it just goes the complete opposite direction. So you have to account for the fact that this ball might go 20 inches the opposite way or 20 20 inches towards me. And it's just it's one of the more wild things that I think I've seen in sports. So whoever Mid Thought Eric: Mm-hmm. That thing is nasty. Mid Thought Chris: This, ⁓ Rob Friedman, ⁓ who posted this, ⁓ kind of analysis was, was pretty wild, but this overlay is nuts. I don't know how you can possibly get into a batter's box and account for the fact that they start off in the absolute same location as they're coming towards you. think that this, as it's coming towards you, it's in the same place. And then at one point or another, you have to take a wild guess of where you think this thing is going to go. And it just either dives or breaks right at your face. And it's, ⁓ it's a pretty wild pitch hit play again on that. It's just a thing of beauty. You really are. mean, that's got it. That has to be one of the most difficult things to do in sports is to, yeah, they slow it down here a little bit right there. You think it's in the exact same place, right? It's coming to you exact same place. And at that point, he's probably got point. Mid Thought Eric: That's the thing, they're just guessing. Mid Thought Chris: zero zero zero zero five seconds to try and figure out what that thing is gonna do and then he like and it just made him look like an absolute it made him look like a like a Like a little eager but yeah, I saw that I was like, oh, I think mid thought Eric might appreciate that so That dude's a stud Mid Thought Eric: No, that's good. That reminds me of the show that we used to play the game, the show. You like them high. You like them high and like right down the middle. Mid Thought Chris: Yes, that was fun. right up by your right up by your face. Mid Thought Eric: Anywhere up in the zone, Mythocrisis is going to jack it out of the park. Mid Thought Chris: up in the zone. Yes That's a good time. All right, buddy. You brought up the mess So I do I do enjoy watching an occasional game of baseball. It's a it's it's fun time. Yeah, I Especially I don't know about you Eric dude. I like going to baseball games baseball game is ⁓ like going there in person is there is really nothing There's really nothing like going to a live baseball game. It's so fun Mid Thought Eric: So ⁓ Yes. We went to a few together. How about that one in Tampa we went to? Remember that? Before the roof was torn off. Are they back down there? Mid Thought Chris: ⁓ it's such a cool. That was a good one too. Yeah. They had, ⁓ they had hard, they had hard AF at the, at that stadium. They did. It was great. Then you had no idea what you were getting into. Did you, you're like, and then you took a sip and you were like, you're like, this tastes like a freaking Jolly Rancher. Whatever am I going to do with this? Love it. First step. Mid Thought Eric: He did. Yes, I remember that. Yes. No, no I didn't. I was, I was, I was sucker punched. It was love at first sip. Love at first sip. Love at first sip. Yeah. Mid Thought Chris: Concur, I concur. ⁓ Yeah, think they might have put it back on. I'm not sure. Hang on. Let me look. You talk. Mid Thought Eric: So I've heard, I've heard that, me talk. I've heard that it's back up in at your plan here again and not in the double A stadium of the Yankees or whatever the heck they were doing. Yeah. Mid Thought Chris: You Yeah, I think so. Steinbruder Stadium roof back on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's back on. Mid Thought Eric: But we were there We went there and ⁓ It was what like may or june or whatever? And then later that fall there was the hurricane right like it was that it was that soon Yeah, and we're like wow we were just there looking at mike trotts legs Mid Thought Chris: Something like that, yeah. Yeah, rip the roof right off that thing. Yeah. ⁓ I don't know. Yeah, I was looking at his legs. Yeah, I'm guilty. These are tree trunks, Did he hit a home run that game? Dude, I will never forget the look on our wives faces like. Almost like why don't you look at us like that? Mid Thought Eric: He had a whole nun too. Mm-hmm. He did. What do you mean? Yeah, and then you got hurt and then you got hurt going back to the dugout Mid Thought Chris: Do you see his legs? Yeah, they got hurt. And then it got hurt. Yes, that game. Mid Thought Eric: ⁓ Nah, I think it was like two games after that But yeah, so last year they played at the the Little League Stadium of George Steinbrenner and then Okay high school, all right, what do high school But there so they fixed the roof right there back the roof is on fire Mid Thought Chris: Okay, okay. It's not Little League, it's Spring Training. It's a Spring Training State High School. Give them high school. ⁓ that's good. Yeah, yeah, they're back. Yeah. Mid Thought Eric: ⁓ So I've heard that they're building a new stadium. Is that true? Mid Thought Chris: Hmm. You've heard. I don't know. There was talk of it and I think at some levels it got approved and I'm not sure if it got approved at all levels that it needed to. Mid Thought Eric: That's one of those where like the city is in a pissing contest with the state and all that stuff. ⁓ So that reminds me, so the game of the football, the game of the football, ⁓ did you see about the Bears, the Chicago Bears? Mid Thought Chris: Yep, yep, 100%. That reminds you, the fruit ball. Dude aren't they moving to like Indiana or something? Mid Thought Eric: That is it's not official but it's it's ⁓ they've announced it. It's not official like they have a final vote like in a month or a few weeks before the ⁓ Before the nfl draft, I think which is in what like two weeks Which is stupid Because it'll annoy Mid Thought Chris: Yeah. Dude, why would they move that stadium? It's such a cool location! Mid Thought Eric: Yes, that's great. Yeah, but it's kind of a dump. Mid Thought Chris: It's like right there on the lakefront. It's on the right there on the lakefront. It's nice and cold. All of Chicago? No. Mid Thought Eric: JB Pritzker Mid Thought Chris: you're not a fan? ⁓ my gosh shots fired he's too busy eating wait Mid Thought Eric: He stood as eating to actually pay attention to what's going on Hey, you better stop that I'm gonna throw a donut at you I Don't know it's funny man, like if Chicago if they really leave which I'll believe it like what they have a final vote in like a month or something, but ⁓ Mid Thought Chris: Yeah. Like those are some serious fans though. I think some people are going to be really upset. And those people are armed and they're dangerous as they've demonstrated. They're armed and they're dangerous and... Mid Thought Eric: Yeah. Well, they No, they're not armed because Chicago is a gun-free zone, so there's no arming. You can't do that there. It's a gun-free zone. Mid Thought Chris: You can't do that, it's illegal. However, are they going to get a hold of anything if this is the- ⁓ wait, I must, I can't use this. must, I must sacrifice, I must turn this back. That sign says, I can't do that. I'm ⁓ gonna go back. I'm gonna surrender this firearm. Mid Thought Eric: That sign says, no firearms allowed. I came here to mow down a bunch of people with automatic weapons, but I'm going to obey that sign, so I'm going to go back. It's stupidest thing. Don't even get me started. Don't even. But look, there's this thing. Mid Thought Chris: Don't get you started. I recognize the complications, but I also recognize the stupidity of thinking that another law is going to change. boy. Mid Thought Eric: ⁓ So speaking of LARS with gun zones, did you see Secretary of War Hagseth made all the bases not a gun free zone anymore? What's with that? Mid Thought Chris: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I did. mean, it's it's it's no. Mid Thought Eric: That's weird, I mean, it was weird that that was the case. Like, I never even knew. I've been working on a military base for almost like over 15 years and I never, it never hit me that the gun-freeness of that goes as far as it does. ⁓ That's crazy. Mid Thought Chris: ⁓ Yeah. Yeah, it does. It is crazy. It's I think that's one of the more wild things that are one of the things that kind of makes you scratch your head and go, huh? ⁓ Because you have some of the most trained individuals in the country that are, you know, disarmed as soon as they go onto that base that like, I mean, he, I mean, he, pointed it out. Like he said, you know, some of our, you know, threats have come from, you know, unfortunately inside, you know, we have like these inside threats and, ⁓ You know, things could have been done had you had, you know, service members that were trained to, ⁓ trained and able to carry. But like, yeah, like you go into a base and you, like, if you're commuting, like from, like yourself from 40 minutes away, you can't carry you. got to leave your firearm at home. ⁓ you know, even if you're trained, even if you're, know, I mean, for you, you're going through Maryland. so like, don't, I, Mid Thought Eric: Mm-hmm. Hmm. Such a communist state. mean, I mean, Maryland has such strict gun laws. Mid Thought Chris: I don't think anybody's carried in Maryland, so I think you're fine. Mid Thought Eric: Only the ones, only the gang bangers and criminals they're carrying. Mid Thought Chris: Yeah, they are. Not the law-abiding citizens though, right? Mid Thought Eric: It's funny because it's like the biggest case for gun control or against gun control, that stuff is like, you look at Mexico, right? And you look at all the shows like Narcos and stuff. it's like, all these jurisdictions are gun-free zones. And you have the drug lords and all the actual gang bangers driving Mid Thought Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Mid Thought Eric: these Toyotas down the actual streets with like bazookas and completely automatic guns like just right down the street. You're like, wait a minute, I thought guns were banned there. That doesn't make any sense. At the time I was thinking of yes, I don't know about right now. I think they've gone through a little bit of a reckoning, if you will. ⁓ But anyways, ⁓ Mid Thought Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Are they banned in Mexico? I don't know. Mid Thought Eric: Yeah, so as far as gun, so I'm not, ⁓ I do hunt and stuff, but, we go. Mid Thought Chris: Time out, time out. AI overview, so take it with a grain of salt. Gun ownership is legal in Mexico, but strictly regulated. Citizens have a constitutional right to own firearms. But check this out. Only one legal gun store exists in the country, in Mexico City. And obtaining permits from the Secretariat of National Defense is difficult. Mid Thought Eric: Yes. Mid Thought Chris: It is generally illegal for foreigners to bring firearms in New Mexico, blah blah blah blah blah. One store. One store. it's guaranteed it's run by the Sinaloa. Yes, exactly. No, you can't have one. Get out of here. One day I'm gonna have to call on you for a favor. Mid Thought Eric: They're like, we can't fight someone for you if you fight for us. RPG for you. Just make sure that's fired at the American DAA. That's rough. Moving along. Yeah, moving right along. Mid Thought Chris: Exactly. Geez. We're hitting some topics today, aren't we, bud? Yeah, this is great. Moving right along. Good control. It's, yeah. Mid Thought Eric: Gun control. Because I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure murdering people and mowing them down and mass numbers is already illegal I think Mid Thought Chris: Yeah, but if you tell them that you can't do it with a gun, they're gonna really... They're not gonna do it, Eric. I can't do this! Hold on! I'm gonna... Compound bow and arrow! Mid Thought Eric: They're gonna be like, ⁓ crap, I had it all planned out, hold on, let me go back, I'm gonna have to get a new arrow. You threw a bunch of pointy sticks at this. It didn't work. If I only knew this was a gun free zone, I wouldn't have gone this far. So stupid. that's neither here nor there. Mid Thought Chris: Neither here nor there The phones are still open Producer Mike's like I ain't there ain't no shot. I'm I'm getting in on this Wow Mid Thought Eric: The phones are still open if somebody wants to call in on a pine. Producer Mike: What? Yeah, so you know, one of the something funny and it has to do with ⁓ guns on bases. ⁓ Or at least I find it funny. I don't know if they'll find it funny. But when I went to Kuwait. Yeah, one that's true. Well, when I went to Kuwait, when I was deployed to Kuwait, I should say, ⁓ I carried my. Yeah, I went there on holiday. Mid Thought Eric: Yes. Mid Thought Chris: Absolutely I do. Mid Thought Eric: We don't care about what the audience finds funny, clearly. Mid Thought Chris: Mm-hmm. When you wait there. Producer Mike: As I say, I went down home, but we we carried our M4s on the plane, took it with us on all of our layovers, all that stuff, carried the whole way. When we got to base in Kuwait, we put it in the armory and never saw it again. I had it on the airplane, had it in country. Mid Thought Eric: ⁓ no, I think... Mid Thought Chris: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mid Thought Eric: But you had it on the airplane. Mid Thought Chris: ⁓ look. So why'd you carry it on the airplane? Mid Thought Eric: That's what counts. Producer Mike: I know, right? Why don't we just ship it over? Mid Thought Chris: And then why did you carry it into wherever? ⁓ my gosh, what is happening? Mid Thought Eric: What a Producer Mike: And I was in Kuwait, and I I hope that our men and women in Kuwait are currently armed with their service weapon. Mid Thought Chris: I would hope so, yeah. Mid Thought Eric: Well, it depends if they declared that a gun-free zone or not. Mid Thought Chris: You Producer Mike: That's true. think ⁓ gun ownership in Kuwait is legal. Mid Thought Eric: Cause that stops it all. Mid Thought Chris: ⁓ nice. Mid Thought Eric: They have a second amendment too. Producer Mike: But I don't, they don't have a second amendment, but they, I think I could be wrong. So take this with a grain of salt, but ⁓ I am pretty sure you can own a weapon, but there you're only allowed to fire the said weapon and government owned ⁓ shooting ranges. Like can't use it anywhere else. Can't, can't hunt. There's no hunting there. Yeah. Mid Thought Chris: I Mid Thought Eric: Mmm. I know what you're saying. So it's owned by the state. Mid Thought Chris: Hmm. Producer Mike: Weird laws. Mid Thought Eric: I mean, think that's what, long as, listen, as long as, as much as Americans complain and gripe him out, I mean, we really are the, I think maybe the only country that actually has addressed this issue and at least pretends to be like, you guys can have guns and carry guns. ⁓ or else it's pretty impressive, I think. Mid Thought Chris: Look! Producer Mike: Yeah. Mid Thought Chris: ⁓ Yemen and the Czech Republic have permissive gun laws compared to others. Highly non-restrictive gun laws in Yemen. That's a surprise. Czech Republic you can conceal carry with laws considered among the most permissive in Europe, allowing citizens to carry up to two weapons. Mid Thought Eric: We're right there with you at Yemen. The Czechs. You're a brother. Producer Mike: Yemen. Thank you Yemen. Holden strong. Mid Thought Eric: I'm shocked to death. Producer Mike: That is a weird place. Mid Thought Eric: too. Producer Mike: two weapons that's specific you can carry shotgun and a pistol just just dual-wielding pistols two RPGs Mid Thought Chris: Two. Mid Thought Eric: One for each hand. Mid Thought Chris: One for each of you. RPG on the shoulder. So good. Mid Thought Eric: RPG It is grenade. Yeah. No, it, it does. It does make a, I mean, it should as much as, ⁓ people from varying viewpoints and other sides of the aisle, whatever. ⁓ it should make you at least appreciate that the United States or maybe not appreciate, ⁓ at least addresses this problem and grants that and there it's enshrined, enshrined in the constitution. Mid Thought Chris: Mmm. Mm. I know what you're saying. Producer Mike: Mm-hmm.

Okay straight off the cuff So there is a rumor that I heard and it could be completely wrong and crazy but I Heard that the Japanese before they attacked Pearl Harbor Mid Thought Chris: ⁓ boy, here we go. Awesome cast. Mid Thought Eric: like the cowards that they were, mean, before they attacked Pearl Harbor, ⁓ that they considered invading the mainland, ⁓ China, whatever, or not through China, but around China, because they already had China, right? So they considered invading the mainland and they were scared because our population all had, we were armed. Okay. ⁓ Do you think that was true? And if so, you heard that too? Mid Thought Chris: Hmm. Producer Mike: I've definitely heard that. I definitely heard that, yeah. Mid Thought Eric: Cause they're like, we don't want to mess with them because everybody in their house is going to have whatever.

So they had guns back then, but they don't now? Is that what he's saying? Allegedly. Mid Thought Chris: Maybe, I don't know. ⁓ But yeah, couldn't imagine. Could you imagine like trying to, again, this is completely a random chat, which I love, but I couldn't, I couldn't imagine going through, like if you were like a adversarial nation trying to go through this country, like, like in you encounter like coal mine of West Virginia, like swamps of Florida.

Mid Thought Eric: Well, I remember George W. Bush saying don't mess with Texas. So I wouldn't want to mess with, I wouldn't want to get near Texas.
