00:00It's going to be Ronnie versus Team USA, guys, in the World Baseball Classic.
00:04Venezuela beat Italy last night.
00:07Italy was actually up 2-1 until Ronald tied it up when he got home.
00:10Then Mikel Garcia got an RBI, and Luis Arias got a hit that brought Ronald home.
00:16So he tied it and then got the final run.
00:18Final score is 4-2.
00:19So the championship goes down tonight at 8 o'clock.
00:22And I know the three of us were in agreement that you root for Team USA, correct?
00:27Oh, for sure.
00:28Bo, you're on that side of history, right?
00:30Not even a debatable point, honestly.
00:31Yeah.
00:32All right.
00:32Yeah.
00:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:35It's America.
00:36Well, on this station, I heard someone else saying otherwise.
00:39Who?
00:39No.
00:41What?
00:41No.
00:42Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:43Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:45Ham, I was so ready to go in on another show, and you just disappointed me.
00:49This is what I said.
00:51Because I made the comment, because obviously I was talking about it this morning on the
00:54Hometown Take.
00:56And I made the comment.
00:57And I was like, I wonder if there is anybody out there that is maybe a little bit conflicted.
01:02The same question I posed to y'all yesterday that brought up the conversation.
01:05And Noel said she's actually rooting for Venezuela.
01:10La Bestia.
01:11She's rooting for La Bestia.
01:13What are we doing?
01:13So, and again, I was like, I'm rooting for Team USA personally.
01:17Like I told y'all yesterday, I'm rooting for Team USA.
01:19But I just want, and I'm glad you brought it up, because I just want to let y'all know,
01:22there are people out there who are rooting for La Bestia.
01:25There was a conversation in my house yesterday saying, like, Dylan got clobbered for this thought.
01:30And Grant was just like, I could see it, though.
01:33I can definitely.
01:33Thank you, Grant.
01:34He was like, there's definitely people that are rooting for Ronald over Team USA.
01:38I'm going to call Dylan and Grant enablers.
01:41All right?
01:41Y'all are both being enablers.
01:43Yeah, I guess enabler is accurate in that sense.
01:46Because he's not rooting against Team USA.
01:48I don't need to draw a hard line in the sand.
01:50Yeah.
01:50I would love, my perfect scenario is Team USA wins like four to three.
01:55But like Ronald Cunha Jr. has like a two-run homer.
01:59You still win, but Ronald Cunha Jr. shines.
02:02We're doing way too much.
02:05Dude, I need you to walk out of that control room, do a woosah, and then come back in and
02:13settle down.
02:14What's wrong with my two out here?
02:16With your leprechaun, whatever the hell theory that was, the worst conspiracy theory I've ever
02:22heard, and then now with this Ronald Cunha Jr. take, no, I don't care what happens as long
02:27as, at the end of the game, Team America has scored more runs than Venezuela.
02:34All right?
02:35That's all I care about.
02:35I don't care how Ronald does in a game that doesn't matter to me at all, in the Braves
02:40fandom.
02:41So just so we're clear, Nwil doesn't have like any Venezuelan descent, right?
02:45I mean, we're not like talking about somebody who's extended.
02:47Yeah, what are we doing?
02:48She didn't bring it up.
02:49She just said she was rooting for Ronnie in Venezuela.
02:51She did.
02:52Her last name is White, so I don't know.
02:53It doesn't scream Venezuelan to me, but I'm not going to sit here and say anything.
02:58Does it mean her mom doesn't have to?
03:01I mean, what are we doing here?
03:04I'm the one that needs to whoops on, though.
03:06I mean, that's a heck of a last name to throw.
03:12I love you, Noelle.
03:14Don't get mad at me, but no, you can't pull from Venezuela.
03:16You can't.
03:17Well, how do you think we are going to fare against Venezuela?
03:20I think we're going to beat them.
03:21We're better.
03:22Okay.
03:22Yeah.
03:23Yeah.
03:24Oh, man.
03:25Y'all are funny, boy.
03:27Y'all are funny.
03:27You know what?
03:28Just throw inside to Ronald.
03:29He'll throw him off.
03:31Yeah.
03:31Come inside to him.
03:33He'll get thrown off.
03:35What?
03:36I would rather that not happen.
03:37Yeah, yeah.
03:38Why?
03:38I mean, I don't want any chance.
03:40Don't hit him.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Don't hit him, but brush him off the plate.
03:43What?
03:44Dude, I don't want him to win.
03:46Man.
03:46I don't care if he hits a home run.
03:47He ain't playing for my team.
03:49Again, though, you're throwing a very fine needle where you're like, throw inside to him.
03:52Don't hit him.
03:53Don't hit him.
03:53Mike, Bo is 10 toes down on this, bro.
03:56He's ready to risk it all.
03:57He's ready to risk it all, dog.
03:58He's ready to risk it all, bro.
03:59He's like, I don't care what happens to Troy's this year.
04:02We're down in Miami, though, in that, what is that, Lone Depot Park or whatever they're
04:06calling it these days.
04:06Let me tell you something.
04:07You better hope your boy, Mark DeRosa, doesn't think he's got this game won on aggregate
04:10or something.
04:10He better know that he has to play it right.
04:14You know what?
04:15What?
04:15After you just said what you said about throwing inside of Ronnie, he's our boy.
04:19Mark DeRosa is the manager of Team America, as you like to call him.
04:23So you better start rooting for him there, big fella.
04:25They've won in spite of him.
04:26I'll say that much.
04:26Yeah, you better start rooting for him there, big fella.
04:28They've won in spite of him.
04:29That's crazy.
04:30Championship goes down tonight at 8 o'clock.
04:33Now it's time for Allie's Mic Drop.
04:35No, it's Mac Drop.
04:36Oh, Mac Drop on the morning shift.
04:39I found a bucket list for a 30-year-old.
04:43Items you should have completed before you're 30.
04:46Yes, this is one of my favorite topics.
04:48Right.
04:48I want to see if Dylan's completed these because he is turning 30 today, but I also want to
04:51see if any of us have completed them.
04:53Yeah, probably not.
04:55So, first on the list is, have you gone to a comedy club?
04:59Yes.
04:59Yes.
05:00Yes.
05:01Have I gone to a comedy club?
05:02Oh, are you counting?
05:04I went to New York.
05:05Like live stand-up, yeah.
05:06Live stand-up.
05:07Oh, did you go to that one, that famous club they have up there that they'll do live YouTube
05:12shows and stuff?
05:13Seinfeld?
05:13I'm not sure.
05:15I'm going to guess no.
05:17I think they probably have more.
05:18But I know what you're talking about, but I don't think it was that one.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Probably have a couple.
05:23Do we all have a good plan for the future?
05:26No.
05:27No, God, no.
05:28Well, I think all four of us are just kind of flying by the seat of our pants.
05:31I mean, not after I looked at my 401k recently.
05:35Yeah, I mean.
05:35Don't look at that right now.
05:37This is, I say it all the time, man.
05:38It's my dream job.
05:39And at some point, you just get kicked off the horse.
05:42You know what I mean?
05:42Like, I'll just ride this wave as long as it'll take me, and then we'll have to pivot.
05:46Pivot.
05:47All right.
05:48By 30, you should own a house.
05:51That's a no for me.
05:53It was a no for me, too.
05:54Yeah, I didn't either.
05:56I did, but obviously under very special circumstances.
05:59Well, no, I didn't.
06:01I didn't.
06:02What do you mean special circumstances?
06:03Well, I mean, I bought one, like, when I got my sign-in bonus when I first got drafted,
06:07I, like, bought a house because the market was so down.
06:10You know what I mean?
06:11I was 2010, so you're two years after the dip, and I was like, okay, this is now a good
06:16time to buy a house and do something with this sign-in bonus so I don't go spend it.
06:21Yeah.
06:21And that's exactly what I did.
06:22And sold it nine years later.
06:25So, it worked out.
06:27All right.
06:27By 30, you should follow a dream.
06:30Yeah, I would say I am, for sure.
06:33Yeah, I was following a dream, blindly.
06:37I didn't know it was a dream.
06:39I was just trying to pay the bills.
06:42No, yeah, obviously, yeah, for me, I got a chance to do that, fortunately, very early.
06:47By 30, you should own a dog.
06:51So, my brother got me a dog, and it was my dog, but I didn't purchase the dog.
06:55Does that count?
06:57Yes.
06:57As long as it was your dog.
06:58It was your dog.
06:58Yeah, it was my dog.
06:59So, yeah, yeah.
07:00All right, cool.
07:00Where did the dog go?
07:02Oh, the dog passed away.
07:04Okay.
07:04Okay.
07:04Yeah, yeah.
07:04How long did you have it?
07:08Probably, like, close to 10 years.
07:10Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:11That was your dog.
07:11That was your dog.
07:12No, it was definitely my dog.
07:13I didn't know if it was because I didn't know if I needed to purchase the dog or not.
07:19I had owned a dog, but, son, you were in a different world today.
07:26No, I'm saying, like, sometimes they are.
07:28I had a dog for 10 years, but I didn't know if he counted because I didn't buy him.
07:31Let's not act like there aren't stipulations to some questions, man.
07:35That's crazy.
07:36I know what I meant.
07:37This man spent way too much time at State Farm last night.
07:40No, that doesn't sound crazy.
07:42Did you go to Magic City after the game?
07:42Yes, dude.
07:43No, but I do.
07:43Did you act in like it?
07:44I did not, but I do wonder how many people did.
07:47That's a great question.
07:47You got a little bit of brain fog like you.
07:49I love it.
07:50I thought that was a fair question.
07:51He deserves that brain fog on his 30th.
07:54Yeah.
07:54He's at work.
07:55It's well earned.
07:56He's got 30 years now.
07:57He's got brain fog.
07:58I feel sharp.
07:59I don't think I got any brain fog.
08:01I thought that was a fair question.
08:02No, you ain't been sharp at all.
08:03We need to go to the next question.
08:04By 30, you should have gotten in a fight.
08:09I've never been in a physical fight.
08:10I've never been in a fight either, so I'm happy about that.
08:13You're a liar.
08:14I was like, what?
08:16Mike is lying through his teeth.
08:17Bro, you fought every day in practice according to people.
08:20I know of fights he's been in.
08:21He's told me about them.
08:23I don't want to talk about that.
08:24So only Mike and I have been in fights physically?
08:27Oh, bro, you've been in a fight?
08:28Yeah, I've been in a few.
08:29Oh, okay.
08:30Is that shocking to you?
08:31No, but I just never heard about the fight story.
08:35This is shocking to you.
08:36No, because I think you've talked about how if your buddy gets in a fight,
08:40you've got to go.
08:41You do.
08:42Okay.
08:42You do.
08:43I was talking to –
08:44You know what's funny?
08:46It's me and Brent, who goes on the races with us.
08:49I had this conversation.
08:49We were talking about this Saturday.
08:51We were hanging out.
08:53And we were talking about Mike and our buddy Bing,
08:59and that sometimes throwdowns happen.
09:01And Brent was like, yeah, man, I love that group, though,
09:04because you just know, like, you just got some big dudes.
09:06So if something goes down, like, you got some big dudes fighting with you.
09:09And I go, yeah, but you know big dudes fight big dudes,
09:13and if they fight, we have to fight, right?
09:15And he goes, yeah, but I go, no.
09:18Like, we have to fight, too.
09:20And I don't want to get hit by big dudes.
09:22Bing and I have definitely been a party to situations where friends we were with
09:27felt more confident to say what they wanted to to other people we were not with.
09:30And it ends up dragging you in.
09:31You're like, dude, I don't really want to do this, but I guess so.
09:34Yeah, I just know that if it goes down, I have to fight.
09:38And so I try to – I just don't really care to fight.
09:42I'm 43, almost 43, man.
09:43It's not fun.
09:45All right, by 30, you should have had your heart broken.
09:52I was – before the –
09:54If you're having to think about it, it happened.
09:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
09:57Yeah.
09:57Yeah, I probably did.
09:58I did.
09:59I guess.
10:00A heart breakup is probably a heartbroken thing.
10:03Yes.
10:03What happened – the way things went was the heartbreaking part.
10:09The fact – now that I look back on it, I'm like, they – there's multiple.
10:13They did me favors.
10:14That's how I view it, too.
10:15I'm like, yeah, that was a heartbreak, but like, thank you.
10:17Yeah, that's the way I'm – I'm like, I'm glad I'm out of that relationship.
10:21More the way it happened than anything.
10:22Yeah, yeah.
10:23Okay, by the time you're 30, you should have started your own business.
10:28Well, that's just stupid.
10:30Like a side hustle.
10:31I got a YouTube channel.
10:33I got a Twitch, so there you go.
10:34There you go.
10:34That works.
10:35Okay.
10:36By the time –
10:37I've had a couple of side hustles, I guess.
10:40Yeah, and – yeah, okay.
10:42I think you've got side hustles.
10:43You've got side –
10:44I got side hustles now, but I mean –
10:46Everybody has side hustles.
10:48I wasn't 30 when I started them.
10:49Well, I think this list proves, though, because there's also things like own season tickets
10:53to a sports team.
10:54Never done that.
10:54Absolutely not.
10:55No.
10:56Do you have a good sound system?
10:57Media credential count?
10:58Yeah, I got multiple season tickets in.
11:00I do not have a good sound system.
11:02It's just default whatever, you know, it comes with.
11:05We're talking about TVs and stuff.
11:06You don't have like –
11:07I don't have –
11:08Well, I guess you'd have to move those when you move your TV to room to room.
11:11I'll finish on this one.
11:12Do you all know how to tie a tie?
11:14Yeah.
11:15I do, yes.
11:16Yeah.
11:16Yeah.
11:17Got it, too.
11:17All right.
11:18Got it, too.
11:18Thank you, Mike Smith.
11:20I'm not kidding, because if without the Falcons road trip –
11:23I watched a YouTube video every time I went on a trip for like the first three years.
11:28And has everyone been to Vegas?
11:30I have not.
11:31Yes.
11:31And I'll never go back.
11:33I'll never go back.
11:34Yes, you will.
11:35I retired.
11:35Last time I was there, I retired, dude.
11:37I was like, no, I'm not doing this again.
11:38Multiple trips.
11:39It's so fun.
11:40Never wasn't a work trip, though.
11:41How about that?
11:43I'm not good.
11:43But no, they were fun work trips.
11:45When you go Mike Bell to Vegas, it turns fun.
11:47That's not work.
11:48It's – yeah, dude.
11:51It's – I'm good.
11:52I don't think I've been in 10 years.
11:53I don't think I'll go back.
11:54Well, these lists, in general, I find ridiculous.
11:57But it seems like, Dylan, you've accomplished most everything that was on this list.
12:00Nice work.
12:00So, good job.
12:01Happy birthday, Dylan.
12:02Appreciate it.
