[00:02:07] Episode number 222

[00:02:10] I think that's the must be a lucky number 222

[00:02:13] I'm Tom, we're going to be talking foosball tonight

[00:02:16] And I'm here to say unequivocally

[00:02:18] That you cannot cancel my flight often enough

[00:02:21] I'm still going to make it there one way or the other

[00:02:24] It's going to happen, I am determined to make it

[00:02:27] To the show tonight

[00:02:28] Go ahead and see what you can do to me when it comes to flying

[00:02:33] I don't care, doesn't matter to me

[00:02:35] By the way, it's always great when you want to talk about foosball

[00:02:38] If you've got someone else you'd like to talk to about foosball

[00:02:43] Which would be Randy Raposo of the great state of Alabama

[00:02:46] Hello Randy

[00:02:48] Hey Tom, how are you?

[00:02:50] What's happening?

[00:02:53] I sprung a leak

[00:02:55] Well

[00:02:55] And I'm glad it wasn't while I was at Worlds

[00:02:58] Because my wife would have probably had a stroke

[00:03:00] Oh really?

[00:03:01] I sprung a leak

[00:03:03] I punched the hole in the wall

[00:03:04] I ripped half a wall out of my house to find this leak

[00:03:07] Pissed me off and maybe I can't even describe

[00:03:11] Ouch, man

[00:03:12] It's been a rough week

[00:03:13] But anyway, Worlds was cool

[00:03:16] If I could just throw a couple shout outs

[00:03:17] Yes, please do

[00:03:19] My boy John Garcia

[00:03:21] Yes

[00:03:22] Newly crowned world champion

[00:03:24] His partner Sherwin Pulaski

[00:03:26] Won rookie doubles, rookie singles

[00:03:29] Handicap doubles, handicap singles

[00:03:31] And I think he won some junior stuff too

[00:03:34] That kid, he's going to be one to watch out for

[00:03:36] The Pulaski family walked away with nine awards

[00:03:40] Nine

[00:03:41] Yeah, so between him and his brother

[00:03:43] I'm constantly like physically threatening them

[00:03:45] And trying to intimidate them

[00:03:46] Yeah

[00:03:47] Just because it's like training an elephant

[00:03:49] Because in a few years they're just going to be way better than me

[00:03:53] So I figure if I can get in their head now

[00:03:55] I'll have a shot

[00:03:56] Right

[00:03:57] Louis doesn't understand, every time I see Louis

[00:03:59] I tell them I'm going to throw punch them and all that stuff

[00:04:01] Right

[00:04:03] Anyway, the kids are good

[00:04:05] They're fierce

[00:04:07] They are the product of a great foosball household

[00:04:12] And of course Stan is very strict

[00:04:15] And make sure they practice every single day

[00:04:17] And it shows

[00:04:18] Do you push ups, right?

[00:04:20] Curls for the girls, all that stuff Stan

[00:04:22] And then some North Carolina guys

[00:04:26] If you've been around for a while

[00:04:28] You know who Randy Hickock is

[00:04:29] That's my boy

[00:04:29] We're practically twins

[00:04:31] Cool

[00:04:31] Shout out to Randy

[00:04:32] He introduced me to a listener

[00:04:35] His name is Jesse Barnhill

[00:04:36] Super talented guy

[00:04:38] If you're looking for any type of artwork

[00:04:40] Find him, hit him up

[00:04:42] Super cool guy

[00:04:43] He hooked us up with some key chains

[00:04:44] And a couple things

[00:04:45] Super cool

[00:04:46] And then I actually got to meet

[00:04:48] A patron this weekend Rob Cutler

[00:04:50] Shout out to Rob Cutler

[00:04:51] Likewise

[00:04:53] Super cool guy

[00:04:54] So any of the listeners, man

[00:04:55] If you see me out

[00:04:56] Just come say what's up

[00:04:57] I love it, man

[00:04:58] I love meeting new

[00:04:59] I'm a social butterfly

[00:05:00] I don't know if you could tell

[00:05:01] I love meeting new people

[00:05:04] Especially listeners

[00:05:05] Come tell me

[00:05:06] If you enjoy listening

[00:05:08] What you don't like

[00:05:09] If you want us to change something

[00:05:10] Fix something

[00:05:11] I love the feedback

[00:05:12] I appreciate it

[00:05:13] But yeah, man

[00:05:15] Worlds was cool

[00:05:16] Again

[00:05:17] I got there just in time

[00:05:19] To watch Trevor win

[00:05:19] If you see

[00:05:20] There's a yellow wrap

[00:05:21] Hanging right there

[00:05:23] That was off

[00:05:24] Trevor's rerot

[00:05:25] He scored the winning shot

[00:05:27] With that wrap right there

[00:05:28] I got him in the sign

[00:05:28] He gave me the wrap?

[00:05:29] Dude

[00:05:30] He didn't give it

[00:05:31] I took it

[00:05:31] He didn't have a choice

[00:05:33] So

[00:05:35] Oh my God

[00:05:36] Yeah

[00:05:37] He was getting bombarded

[00:05:40] And I just went over

[00:05:41] And started unwrapping the wraps for him

[00:05:42] And put them together

[00:05:43] And then I just took the three-rod

[00:05:45] And I was like, bro

[00:05:45] I need you to sign this for me

[00:05:46] And he was like, yeah

[00:05:47] I was like, this is mine now

[00:05:49] It's yours, but it's mine

[00:05:51] That's awesome

[00:05:52] But you know

[00:05:52] Yeah, Trevor

[00:05:54] Trevor's super

[00:05:55] Who would have thought of doing that?

[00:05:57] Man, this guy

[00:05:58] This guy right here

[00:05:59] And then I tried to sell it

[00:06:00] For like 600 bucks

[00:06:01] But nobody wanted a pony up

[00:06:03] But

[00:06:04] It can still happen

[00:06:05] But I'm gonna

[00:06:06] I'm gonna figure out

[00:06:08] How to frame it and stuff

[00:06:08] Because I think it's

[00:06:10] Just super cool

[00:06:10] I think it's a super cool

[00:06:11] Piece of foosball history

[00:06:12] So

[00:06:13] Gotta say

[00:06:13] But yeah, man

[00:06:14] You know, foosball in the country right now

[00:06:17] We got a lot going on

[00:06:18] Just after the roads

[00:06:37] To fill this up in Florida State

[00:06:38] Yeah

[00:06:39] And before we do get to our guest

[00:06:40] And of course

[00:06:41] Our Florida correspondent

[00:06:43] Mike Green in just a second here

[00:06:44] I do want to make a quick

[00:06:46] Shout out myself

[00:06:47] To Ernie Bischoff

[00:06:49] Who, you know, we hear his name

[00:06:50] Every week as a

[00:06:51] As a Patreon

[00:06:52] But Ernie, first of all

[00:06:54] He got half of my bags

[00:06:56] Brought to the tournament

[00:06:57] In the trunk of his car

[00:06:59] So I didn't have to check him

[00:07:00] At the airline

[00:07:01] And I mean

[00:07:02] Talk about a huge, huge favor

[00:07:05] And then of course

[00:07:07] And he was there to help me out

[00:07:09] During the entire weekend

[00:07:10] Of course, I need, you know

[00:07:17] For being there for me, man

[00:07:24] Because we had a blast

[00:07:26] We had a lot of fun

[00:07:27] Top five

[00:07:28] Top five, Tom

[00:07:29] That's a good finish, man

[00:07:30] Top five in that field

[00:07:31] Dude, we were having some fun

[00:07:34] Yeah

[00:07:34] And had some fun

[00:07:36] In our first open match

[00:07:38] Against Isabel Steli

[00:07:39] And Sullivan Rue

[00:07:41] They, they

[00:07:43] Taught us how to play, basically

[00:07:44] But we took them two games to none

[00:07:46] To start with

[00:07:47] So we were in contention at first

[00:07:49] But you know, you know

[00:07:50] Sullivan turned it on

[00:07:51] And that was the end of that

[00:07:52] But nonetheless, man

[00:07:54] What a memorable weekend

[00:07:56] And Mark Drolet and Chris

[00:07:59] Chris, your bud

[00:08:00] Chris who you hooked me up to

[00:08:02] Chris Emerall

[00:08:02] Yeah, we hooked up with

[00:08:03] With rookie devils

[00:08:04] And we had a blast as well

[00:08:06] And Chris is a great forward, man

[00:08:08] Great forward

[00:08:08] Yeah

[00:08:09] Chris a good dude

[00:08:10] I've known Chris since

[00:08:11] Since 03

[00:08:13] And he got into it

[00:08:15] Was all about it

[00:08:17] And then, you know

[00:08:17] Family, wife, kids

[00:08:20] Chris, Chris is

[00:08:21] Chris's job

[00:08:24] He's really high up in his company

[00:08:26] He runs like 5, 10 warehouse

[00:08:28] Something

[00:08:29] He's like

[00:08:29] He's a pretty important guy

[00:08:31] But he told me a cool story

[00:08:33] I don't know if he wants me to disclose it

[00:08:35] But I'm gonna

[00:08:35] So whatever

[00:08:36] But his

[00:08:37] Like the CEO of his company

[00:08:39] Talked to him

[00:08:41] And I guess he found out

[00:08:42] Chris is like super into foosball

[00:08:43] So he pulled Chris into his office

[00:08:45] And was like

[00:08:45] He was like show me some videos

[00:08:47] And Chris showed him some videos

[00:08:49] Of some, you know, top players

[00:08:50] And then he was like

[00:08:51] I want to see a table

[00:08:53] In this warehouse

[00:08:55] Really?

[00:08:55] Like next month

[00:08:56] Wow

[00:08:56] So Chris

[00:08:57] He's gonna start

[00:08:58] He's like dude

[00:08:59] I'm gonna start playing these guys

[00:09:00] For vacation time

[00:09:01] How cool is that?

[00:09:02] That's phenomenal

[00:09:03] Very cool

[00:09:04] Yeah, it's pretty cool

[00:09:06] Well that's

[00:09:06] That's the way it should be

[00:09:07] Every decent size warehouse

[00:09:10] Should have a foosball table somewhere

[00:09:12] You know

[00:09:12] For lunch break or whatever

[00:09:14] That would bring everybody together

[00:09:17] At work

[00:09:18] But then who knows

[00:09:19] You might find some hidden champions

[00:09:21] In places like that

[00:09:23] Or it might get somebody stabbed

[00:09:25] I mean whatever

[00:09:26] There's that

[00:09:28] It's fun

[00:09:28] That could happen

[00:09:30] Bringing people together

[00:09:31] That's what it's all about

[00:09:32] You know

[00:09:33] It's regardless of how historical

[00:09:36] This last weekend was

[00:09:38] I mean it certainly was the

[00:09:40] Pivotal because of not only Trevor

[00:09:42] But also Ryan Moore now

[00:09:44] Has picked up the torch from his mom

[00:09:46] Mary Moore is retiring

[00:09:47] And that in and of itself

[00:09:49] Was a significant moment

[00:09:51] And a lot of people got choked up about it

[00:09:53] You know, because Mary's been at this

[00:09:55] You know 30 plus years

[00:09:57] But Ryan is determined man

[00:09:59] He's got this

[00:10:00] He's got fire in his belly for this

[00:10:02] And he's going to be

[00:10:03] Yeah, he's going to be doing some different things

[00:10:05] And we're anxiously awaiting

[00:10:07] To see what those things are

[00:10:08] But best of luck

[00:10:10] You know best of luck

[00:10:11] It's tough

[00:10:11] Yeah, I listened to the interview

[00:10:14] The hour and 20 minute interview

[00:10:15] If no one's listened to it

[00:10:16] Or if you have whatever

[00:10:17] Just check it out

[00:10:18] Because it's really good

[00:10:19] Listening to him talk about it

[00:10:20] He's

[00:10:20] You could tell he's passionate and motivated

[00:10:22] And he really wants to take this to another level

[00:10:24] So I'm pretty excited

[00:10:25] To see where this goes

[00:10:28] Even just that

[00:10:29] What he's got invested with the marketing

[00:10:31] Oh, yeah

[00:10:32] I mean

[00:10:33] I don't think people understand

[00:10:34] You know

[00:10:35] But I'm really

[00:10:36] I mean I'm going to be supporting him

[00:10:38] Yeah

[00:10:38] I supported his mom for years

[00:10:42] Well anyone who wants this

[00:10:44] Support to get better

[00:10:45] You know

[00:10:46] Why not

[00:10:46] Why wouldn't you support that

[00:10:48] So

[00:10:48] And give the guy a shot

[00:10:50] I mean he's got

[00:10:51] All the resources that he needs

[00:10:53] To do this

[00:10:54] So

[00:10:55] I'm looking forward to it man

[00:10:57] I think it's going to be

[00:10:57] It's going to be amazing

[00:10:58] So

[00:10:59] Anyway

[00:10:59] So

[00:11:00] Yeah

[00:11:01] I mean that was the past

[00:11:02] I grant you that

[00:11:03] That was just a week ago

[00:11:04] And it was fantastic

[00:11:05] But now we've got some great stuff

[00:11:07] To look forward to

[00:11:09] Especially coming up on September 26

[00:11:11] In Florida

[00:11:13] In Clearwater

[00:11:38] As far as I'm concerned

[00:11:40] Okay Joe Biden

[00:11:41] Okay Joe Biden

[00:11:41] You look like a little bit

[00:11:43] Thicker than Joe Biden

[00:11:44] When you say stuff like that

[00:11:45] I'm just saying

[00:11:46] I'm going to tell you right now

[00:11:47] Man

[00:12:16] Confess to that

[00:12:17] In fact

[00:12:17] I was

[00:12:19] Trying just to

[00:12:20] Do the best I could

[00:12:21] Blocking Sully's shot

[00:12:23] I mean

[00:12:24] If I jar the table

[00:12:25] Trying to block her shot

[00:12:26] I mean

[00:12:27] Can you blame me?

[00:12:29] Stuff happens right?

[00:12:30] How did that all start

[00:12:31] I mean did she

[00:12:32] Say something or

[00:12:33] Well there was a moment

[00:12:34] There was a moment

[00:12:35] After the first two games

[00:12:36] You know it was

[00:12:37] Mark and I were up to

[00:12:38] To nothing

[00:12:39] And there was a

[00:12:40] Quick conversation

[00:12:41] About guys

[00:12:42] You need to calm down

[00:12:44] It's a little rough

[00:12:44] There

[00:12:45] Little rough

[00:12:46] So

[00:12:46] Hey

[00:12:47] Hey

[00:12:48] You know what they say

[00:12:49] In New England Tom

[00:12:49] If you're not cheating

[00:12:50] You're not trying

[00:12:53] I was just

[00:12:54] I'm going to leave it at that

[00:12:55] Because I'll get myself in trouble

[00:12:57] With my next comment

[00:12:58] So

[00:12:58] Alright

[00:12:59] Well I was just basically

[00:13:00] Trying to hold my

[00:13:01] Mind to the table

[00:13:02] Because I was going on

[00:13:04] Zero sleep

[00:13:05] But that's okay

[00:13:06] You know

[00:13:06] I'm not complaining

[00:13:07] I still had a blast

[00:13:09] Yeah

[00:13:10] That world looked amazing

[00:13:11] I was kind of bummed

[00:13:12] I didn't go after

[00:13:13] Watching some of the videos

[00:13:14] Yeah

[00:13:15] Yeah

[00:13:15] That were going on

[00:13:16] It's some serious competition

[00:13:18] Going on there

[00:13:19] We'll be talking about it

[00:13:20] For a long time

[00:13:21] You know

[00:13:21] That's just the facts

[00:13:23] We'll be talking about that

[00:13:24] So

[00:13:24] We do need to talk about

[00:13:26] What's happening

[00:13:26] September 26th

[00:13:28] At Clearwater Florida

[00:13:29] At Holiday Inn

[00:13:30] Welcome back once again

[00:13:31] Our promoter spotlight tonight

[00:13:34] Features Rob at Cato

[00:13:39] What's going on guys

[00:13:40] And you can

[00:13:40] You can hear us right

[00:13:42] I just double-checking

[00:13:43] Because I know we were having

[00:13:44] Some tech conditions

[00:13:44] I can't

[00:13:45] Can you hear me

[00:13:45] Oh yeah

[00:13:46] We can hear you

[00:13:47] For sure

[00:13:48] Yeah

[00:13:48] So yeah

[00:13:49] He's up and running

[00:13:49] It's all good

[00:13:50] Dude so

[00:13:51] You've got two weeks to go

[00:13:52] What's going through your brain

[00:13:54] Right about this time

[00:13:57] Man it's

[00:13:59] One I'm thankful that the hotel

[00:14:00] Extended the room rate

[00:14:02] Oh

[00:14:03] So the 12th

[00:14:04] Which is funny

[00:14:05] Because I think it ended

[00:14:07] Like the end of August

[00:14:09] Or something

[00:14:10] And I was posting and posting

[00:14:11] Hey we got three days left

[00:14:12] We got two days left

[00:14:13] We got a day left

[00:14:13] And then

[00:14:15] The hotel messages me like

[00:14:16] Oh we're going to extend it

[00:14:18] Out to the 12th for you

[00:14:19] I'm like oh okay cool

[00:14:20] So then I posted that

[00:14:21] Then I get somebody to post on line

[00:14:23] Oh it looks like he was lying

[00:14:24] And he said it was this day

[00:14:25] I'm like

[00:14:26] Oh well

[00:14:27] The hotel extended it

[00:14:28] They have that right to be able

[00:14:29] To extend it

[00:14:30] Sure that's awesome

[00:14:31] It was just funny

[00:14:32] Well they

[00:14:32] They clearly

[00:14:33] Yeah I'm excited about it

[00:14:35] They clearly like you guys

[00:14:36] I mean

[00:14:37] You know it's all about

[00:14:38] Establishing that relationship

[00:14:40] With a good daily

[00:14:42] They like some of us guys

[00:14:43] Oh gotcha

[00:14:44] There's a few that they can

[00:14:46] Go without a good day

[00:14:48] That's a little bit of a stretch

[00:14:49] You know what just listen

[00:14:51] There's always chairs after the weekend

[00:14:53] That have cigarette holes in them

[00:14:54] There's always beer bottles

[00:14:55] In the pond where the ducks are

[00:14:57] It's like guys can you please

[00:14:59] Not throw the bottles and you know

[00:15:00] No matter how many times you tell them

[00:15:02] Hey the pond is not like

[00:15:04] You know for bobbing for apples

[00:15:05] And throwing beer bottles and stuff

[00:15:07] And that's not what it's for

[00:15:08] No matter how many times you say it

[00:15:09] That's what they would say

[00:15:10] Hi

[00:15:11] Rainy hit cock

[00:15:12] Oh

[00:15:13] Rainy hit cock

[00:15:14] Oh my god

[00:15:14] Oh my boy man

[00:15:17] He was on the stab

[00:15:19] I heard you talk about Rainy

[00:15:21] Now Rainy's on a different level man

[00:15:23] You gotta love that guy

[00:15:27] You have to love him

[00:15:28] There's no other option

[00:15:29] But why

[00:15:30] Why are we throwing beer bottles

[00:15:33] In a duck pond

[00:15:34] For why

[00:15:35] I like

[00:15:37] That's a good question

[00:15:38] Are you chasing the ducks away

[00:15:39] Or are you just that big of a jerk

[00:15:41] I don't know

[00:15:41] So this year

[00:15:44] They have posted a camera up there

[00:15:46] Let's go

[00:15:47] Yeah

[00:15:48] Then we see the person who's throwing the beer bottles

[00:15:50] In there

[00:15:51] And they're no longer going to be allowed to play in the tournament

[00:15:53] Right

[00:15:54] You know what Rob

[00:15:56] I bet you it's somebody else

[00:15:57] Staying at the hotel that's framing the Fussball

[00:16:00] Fussball players don't do stuff like that

[00:16:01] Yeah right

[00:16:02] Yeah no of course not

[00:16:03] No I swear

[00:16:04] It's definitely a conspiracy

[00:16:05] It's probably the TPD

[00:16:07] The Tampa Police Department

[00:16:08] Yeah bro

[00:16:08] Got a wonder

[00:16:09] See that's what's up bro

[00:16:10] I believe that

[00:16:11] I believe

[00:16:12] Yeah yeah

[00:16:13] Yeah got a wonder

[00:16:14] Maybe maybe Scott

[00:16:15] Here's got some of his

[00:16:16] Top friends here

[00:16:19] Yeah

[00:16:19] Yeah

[00:16:20] I'm gonna make a confession

[00:16:24] I'll make a confession it was me

[00:16:27] You

[00:16:27] It's you

[00:16:28] Okay

[00:16:29] On Friday night

[00:16:30] I got my bar tab

[00:16:31] They told me it was $1200

[00:16:33] It probably was me

[00:16:35] Well

[00:16:36] And you realize that it's not like up north

[00:16:38] Where you can recycle each bottle for a nickel

[00:16:40] You're like alright these are useless

[00:16:41] Yeah and I was gonna say

[00:16:43] You know you pluck those bottles out

[00:16:45] And you get the five cents back

[00:16:46] I mean right

[00:16:47] I know

[00:16:48] Yeah

[00:16:48] You would have made like

[00:16:50] I know if people in Amsterdam

[00:16:51] Would make a living at it

[00:16:52] Oh

[00:16:54] Wow

[00:16:54] Wow

[00:16:55] Oh yeah

[00:16:56] It's

[00:16:57] It's interesting that some states

[00:16:59] Have that going and some don't

[00:17:01] But you know

[00:17:02] I still remember as a kid

[00:17:04] When we were playing Fussball

[00:17:06] We had to get quarters for the table

[00:17:08] So we'd turn in bottles for that man

[00:17:10] That was something we did all the time

[00:17:12] These are Rob vending machines

[00:17:16] Different life-sites

[00:17:18] It's uh yeah

[00:17:20] But hey you know I'm just saying here

[00:17:23] I won't say who I am Rob

[00:17:24] Because never mind

[00:17:26] But I had to get my quarter for the game

[00:17:27] I know because we were playing

[00:17:31] In this local club

[00:17:33] Called Abner Doubledays

[00:17:34] In downtown Odianten

[00:17:37] They had four benzini tables

[00:17:39] And it was 50 cents a throw

[00:17:40] 50 cents

[00:17:41] You know you put up your quarters

[00:17:43] And you know you burned through a couple bucks

[00:17:45] Worth and you know especially when you're first learning

[00:17:48] You're you're you've found a lot of quarters

[00:17:49] So we turned a lot of bottles for that kind of stuff

[00:17:52] Well there are a few beer cans too

[00:17:54] But I'm just saying

[00:17:56] Hey right now I spent 50 cents to throw one of those things

[00:17:59] In the pond

[00:17:59] Right

[00:18:00] A benzini you mean

[00:18:02] The benzini

[00:18:03] You know what

[00:18:06] You could throw the table in

[00:18:07] Did they just have some big benzini championship

[00:18:09] I thought I saw on Facebook

[00:18:10] It's there's one coming up in Montreal

[00:18:13] Which actually

[00:18:14] Let me double check the data on that

[00:18:15] That's coming up pretty

[00:18:16] Pretty quick here in fact

[00:18:17] I thought there was just one

[00:18:18] I see someone who won open doubles in benzini

[00:18:20] September 20th through 22nd

[00:18:23] In Montreal there's going to be

[00:18:24] The Canadian championship

[00:18:27] Banzini

[00:18:28] So that

[00:18:29] That'll be well attended no doubt

[00:18:31] Although I think the one you're referring to

[00:18:32] Might have been in Europe

[00:18:34] I think they might have posted that on the ITSF

[00:18:37] Or something like that

[00:18:37] Maybe the gold

[00:18:39] The gold series

[00:18:40] Speaking of which

[00:18:41] I just completely remembered

[00:18:44] Not only Tony Sprateman

[00:18:47] But also Sullivan Rue

[00:18:48] Had the golden ticket for the ITSF

[00:18:51] Sullivan just earned her golden ticket

[00:18:53] This last week

[00:18:55] I believe it was this last week

[00:18:57] But she is now

[00:18:58] In the running for the big

[00:19:00] Now I don't even know

[00:19:02] Enough about the golden ticket

[00:19:04] Yeah Tommy Yor one

[00:19:05] His and Dallas two

[00:19:06] He's got one

[00:19:07] He does okay

[00:19:08] And the golden ticket

[00:19:10] That being

[00:19:11] Yeah right and how many are there

[00:19:14] There's a few

[00:19:14] And so

[00:19:15] No so what

[00:19:17] It's entry fee

[00:19:18] Travel everything

[00:19:19] And they fly you over

[00:19:22] And then they take you in a room

[00:19:23] They blindfold you

[00:19:24] And they just beat you

[00:19:24] Whatever makes it

[00:19:26] Right

[00:19:26] Whoever survives

[00:19:27] Gets all the money

[00:19:29] Golden ticket

[00:19:30] Let's go

[00:19:31] So

[00:19:32] It's a good time

[00:19:33] I'm already there

[00:19:34] Killed ourselves

[00:19:37] So

[00:19:38] I don't know the specifics

[00:19:40] But

[00:19:41] This is what I've heard

[00:19:42] Again

[00:19:43] It's hearsay

[00:19:44] I'm not on Facebook

[00:19:45] But I'm sure you can find it

[00:19:46] If you look it up

[00:19:47] But I think it's like a 50k

[00:19:48] I think it's like a 50k cash prize

[00:19:50] Oh wow

[00:19:52] Dang

[00:19:52] It's like a big

[00:19:53] It's a big tournament

[00:19:54] You have to be invited

[00:19:55] Obviously golden ticket winners

[00:19:57] And then there's just

[00:19:58] A big money prize at the end

[00:19:59] So

[00:19:59] So yeah Tony's

[00:20:01] Tony's gonna win 50 grand

[00:20:02] It's looking good for him

[00:20:03] Yeah

[00:20:03] No kidding

[00:20:05] I digress

[00:20:06] I mean obviously anybody could win

[00:20:08] But

[00:20:08] Right

[00:20:08] Well eventually

[00:20:10] Tony's gonna run for his money

[00:20:11] Yeah

[00:20:11] I think so

[00:20:13] It depends what table it's gonna be on

[00:20:15] Tommy and then of course

[00:20:16] You're probably talking

[00:20:17] As long as the lights don't go out

[00:20:19] The electricity will be fine

[00:20:20] Yeah

[00:20:22] But

[00:20:22] I mean

[00:20:24] Oh

[00:20:24] Burn

[00:20:24] So

[00:20:26] It could be

[00:20:26] Tommy and of course

[00:20:28] Stefan from Austria

[00:20:31] Bermetler

[00:20:31] Yeah

[00:20:32] Well they're getting

[00:20:33] They're giving them

[00:20:34] For I think every table

[00:20:36] So

[00:20:37] Okay

[00:20:37] You know

[00:20:38] Tony won the Leonhardt one

[00:20:40] I don't know who won

[00:20:40] The Bonzini one

[00:20:42] And then

[00:20:42] I think there's one for

[00:20:43] Roberto Spore

[00:20:44] There's one for

[00:20:45] Garlando

[00:20:46] Tommy won the

[00:20:47] Tornado one here

[00:20:48] I think there's gonna be

[00:20:49] One over there

[00:20:51] But

[00:20:52] You know

[00:20:53] Again

[00:20:53] Bonzif

[00:20:54] French Bonzini

[00:20:55] You know how I feel about

[00:20:55] And I

[00:20:56] I wanna just say

[00:20:58] Canadian

[00:20:58] Canadian

[00:21:00] French Canadians

[00:21:01] And French French

[00:21:02] Different

[00:21:03] Yes

[00:21:04] Okay

[00:21:05] So

[00:21:05] We played some Canadians

[00:21:07] This past weekend

[00:21:08] Very nice people

[00:21:09] They invited me up there

[00:21:11] To play some of their

[00:21:12] Some of their tournaments

[00:21:13] Actually invited me up to

[00:21:14] Play a Bonzini event

[00:21:15] Okay

[00:21:16] Super nice guys

[00:21:19] French Canadian

[00:21:20] There's a line

[00:21:21] Oh

[00:21:22] There is demarcation

[00:21:25] Yes sir

[00:21:26] I just

[00:21:26] I want everybody to know

[00:21:27] That you hear me talk a lot

[00:21:28] Of smack about French

[00:21:29] Bonzini there

[00:21:31] French

[00:21:31] Not French Canadian

[00:21:33] Oh well

[00:21:34] We

[00:21:34] We

[00:21:37] Thank you for clarifying

[00:21:39] By the way

[00:21:39] You know

[00:21:40] That's why I'm here

[00:21:41] I hate people to get

[00:21:42] The wrong idea

[00:21:43] You know that

[00:21:44] Yeah

[00:21:44] So

[00:21:45] So

[00:21:46] Rob

[00:21:48] Yes

[00:21:49] This is now

[00:21:50] The

[00:21:51] It's not Florida

[00:21:52] State technically

[00:21:53] It's the

[00:21:54] The Masters

[00:21:55] Correct

[00:21:56] So

[00:21:57] It is Florida State

[00:21:58] We're going to keep Florida State

[00:22:00] In the name

[00:22:00] But we have the Masters

[00:22:02] Open in that

[00:22:03] Okay

[00:22:04] What the Masters

[00:22:05] Open is

[00:22:07] I've infused $300

[00:22:08] For first prize

[00:22:09] It's cool

[00:22:10] It's going to be the top

[00:22:11] Eight Masters

[00:22:12] At the tournament

[00:22:14] They're going to play

[00:22:15] A single

[00:22:16] Elimination

[00:22:17] Event

[00:22:19] Three out of five

[00:22:20] Single elimination

[00:22:21] Winner takeoff

[00:22:23] Okay

[00:22:24] So

[00:22:25] It's not the top

[00:22:27] Eight Finisher

[00:22:27] In singles

[00:22:28] If you are a Masters

[00:22:30] So if there's only eight Masters

[00:22:31] You automatically qualify

[00:22:33] Correct

[00:22:34] Yup

[00:22:34] That's for the Masters

[00:22:35] And I think

[00:22:36] I think that's great

[00:22:37] I don't think there's enough incentive

[00:22:39] For a Master player

[00:22:40] I think that's awesome

[00:22:41] Again

[00:22:42] I went to Florida last year

[00:22:43] Man it was great

[00:22:44] Had a great time

[00:22:45] Hotel was great

[00:22:46] The venue

[00:22:47] The food trucks

[00:22:50] Like the little stuff

[00:22:51] That people really

[00:22:52] Don't see

[00:22:52] Behind the scenes

[00:22:53] And again

[00:22:54] I've never run a tournament

[00:22:55] Of that caliber

[00:22:56] Or that level

[00:22:57] And I can't imagine

[00:22:58] How much work goes into it

[00:22:59] I hear things

[00:23:00] I see you

[00:23:01] I saw you there

[00:23:02] Kind of like

[00:23:03] You had the stick

[00:23:04] And you were like

[00:23:05] Massaging yourself

[00:23:07] I'm sure it's a lot of stress

[00:23:09] The stick

[00:23:10] Yeah, listen man

[00:23:10] Look

[00:23:11] This isn't salt and pepper

[00:23:13] Just for men

[00:23:14] Okay

[00:23:17] But

[00:23:18] Like

[00:23:18] I think at this point

[00:23:20] People understand

[00:23:20] Winning this event

[00:23:23] Is

[00:23:23] It's a big deal

[00:23:25] It's a pretty prestigious event

[00:23:26] I mean Florida has

[00:23:27] Has a pretty deep

[00:23:28] Has a pretty deep pool of players

[00:23:30] So

[00:23:31] What's it looking like

[00:23:33] This year

[00:23:33] As far as attendance

[00:23:34] Do you have an idea?

[00:23:37] Yeah, I think it's going to be

[00:23:39] The same

[00:23:40] Or a little bit more as last year

[00:23:42] So last year

[00:23:43] Typically I average about

[00:23:44] 250 players every year

[00:23:46] Last year

[00:23:47] Was the only year

[00:23:47] Was it like 200

[00:23:48] I think we're going to have

[00:23:50] Around the same

[00:23:51] Around 200

[00:23:52] I mean

[00:23:54] All the top pro masters

[00:23:55] Will be there

[00:23:56] Of course Ryan's coming

[00:23:57] He's been promoting that

[00:23:59] And you know

[00:24:02] Brandon

[00:24:05] Moreland

[00:24:05] I don't know if Brandon

[00:24:06] Moreland is coming or not

[00:24:08] Munez is coming

[00:24:10] Called about the hotel

[00:24:11] Blake Robertson

[00:24:12] You know Cain, Blake

[00:24:13] Yep

[00:24:14] Cain and Blake

[00:24:15] One time a year

[00:24:16] What's that?

[00:24:17] Cain and Blake

[00:24:18] One last year

[00:24:19] Right

[00:24:19] They won two years in a row

[00:24:21] Oh wow

[00:24:22] Okay, and I know they beat

[00:24:23] They beat Tony and Rob last year

[00:24:25] Twice

[00:24:27] Twice

[00:24:27] That's not easy to do

[00:24:28] Yeah, seriously

[00:24:29] Yeah, yeah, they beat him

[00:24:30] For King C and beat him

[00:24:30] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[00:24:32] Yeah, I remember

[00:24:34] So Tony

[00:24:34] I mean Tony was at Worlds

[00:24:36] You don't know if he's going

[00:24:37] To stick around and go play Florida

[00:24:38] Yeah, I don't know

[00:24:40] I had asked him several months ago

[00:24:41] What his plans were

[00:24:42] And he said he didn't know yet

[00:24:43] Yeah

[00:24:44] I haven't connected with them since then

[00:24:46] So I'm not sure if he's going to stay or not

[00:24:49] And it is going to be

[00:24:51] I guess you'd call it old school now

[00:24:53] Since everything's gone to championship format

[00:24:56] But it will be double elimination

[00:24:58] Okay

[00:25:00] In every event

[00:25:00] So pro will still be two out of three

[00:25:02] Two out of three

[00:25:03] Then open will still be three out of five

[00:25:05] Two out of three and then three out of five

[00:25:07] And when it comes back to the market

[00:25:08] Got it, got it

[00:25:09] Yeah, we're going to keep it that way

[00:25:10] Just because championship format

[00:25:13] Kind of started to take hold

[00:25:17] After I already had the flyer out

[00:25:19] And I didn't really make an announcement

[00:25:20] Yeah

[00:25:21] Basically because I didn't know what was going on

[00:25:22] And plus I kind of wanted to see

[00:25:25] You know how the players were going to react to it

[00:25:28] You know listen nobody likes change

[00:25:30] I'm going to tell you from running a tournament

[00:25:33] On my side

[00:25:35] It's absolutely faster

[00:25:36] And better

[00:25:37] 100%

[00:25:39] Yep

[00:25:40] Is it as good for viewership

[00:25:42] Is it as good for the players who go into the losers bracket

[00:25:44] Only can come back to third

[00:25:46] Probably not

[00:25:48] But you know I mean

[00:25:49] Fools ball is the only thing you double dip in

[00:25:51] I mean I remember when I wrestled and everything

[00:25:53] If I did a tournament

[00:25:53] The best I could do if I lost and the winners

[00:25:55] Was come back and get third

[00:25:56] Right

[00:25:56] So that's how all sports are done

[00:25:59] Fools ball is the only one that does that double dip like that

[00:26:03] So for this year

[00:26:05] I'm going to leave it as it is

[00:26:07] And then if Ryan does continue to do that championship format

[00:26:11] Then probably next year

[00:26:13] I too will do that championship

[00:26:15] Because it does

[00:26:15] It is great to be able to schedule the finals

[00:26:19] It is good to have the person

[00:26:21] The only team undefeated win the tournament

[00:26:22] You don't have to wait for other players

[00:26:25] To stay hot through the losers bracket

[00:26:26] And then come back and double dip them

[00:26:29] So there's pros and cons to everything

[00:26:32] This is just going to be a matter of

[00:26:34] For Ryan continues to do it in the tour

[00:26:37] Then I mean

[00:26:40] People would be smart to just kind of follow

[00:26:42] Yeah

[00:26:43] That's what my intention is going to be

[00:26:45] Well and the feedback I'm getting from players

[00:26:51] Legitimately this is what I'm getting from

[00:26:53] And from players at every level

[00:26:54] Because at Worlds it was everything was championship format

[00:26:57] So I know there were some players at the lower level

[00:26:59] Rookie and amateur that were like

[00:27:01] I'm not going because it's championship format

[00:27:03] And I just told them

[00:27:04] I said you're dumb

[00:27:05] You know you're going to miss out on a big event

[00:27:07] Because of the format

[00:27:08] But from rookies to masters

[00:27:12] The feedback I'm getting is

[00:27:15] Winner or the losers

[00:27:17] And loser or the winners need to play

[00:27:19] Because they both lost once

[00:27:22] And it's one more match

[00:27:24] It's one more match

[00:27:25] And I think that's legitimate

[00:27:27] Right

[00:27:27] Because if second place is going to get this much money

[00:27:32] And third place is going to get this much money

[00:27:34] And they both lost once

[00:27:35] It doesn't make sense

[00:27:36] So either they need to play and figure it out

[00:27:38] Or second and third place need to be the same money

[00:27:42] And that's the feedback I'm getting

[00:27:44] Other than that honestly man

[00:27:45] I've played six tournaments now

[00:27:47] Ballpark something like that

[00:27:49] That's championship five tournament

[00:27:50] That's championship format

[00:27:51] I like it

[00:27:52] I do

[00:27:52] Being done early not having like

[00:27:55] It's huge

[00:27:56] It's so funny because most of the people that complain about it

[00:27:58] Are never in the finals anyway

[00:28:00] So what do you even compare

[00:28:01] It doesn't even affect you

[00:28:02] What do you even complain about

[00:28:03] Right

[00:28:03] I don't get it

[00:28:04] But whatever

[00:28:05] They just got to have their points

[00:28:06] Good point

[00:28:08] Well

[00:28:09] What you just said

[00:28:11] What you just said is exactly what I said

[00:28:14] It's guys like me that go there and piss and moan

[00:28:16] And complain

[00:28:17] That aren't going to be in the finals anyway right

[00:28:19] You know I actually made that comment

[00:28:21] My only complaint

[00:28:23] This is the way I like to think

[00:28:24] I play a lot of poker right

[00:28:26] I like to go in

[00:28:27] You pay one entry fee that's it

[00:28:29] But now everything is

[00:28:30] You can rebuy

[00:28:31] Guess what

[00:28:34] They're a ball

[00:28:35] They make the rules

[00:28:36] That's the rules

[00:28:36] You know going in what the rules are

[00:28:38] Put your money in or you don't

[00:28:40] It's that simple right

[00:28:41] Well the thing too Mike

[00:28:43] Like with Reb buys

[00:28:45] You kind of tend to play loose right

[00:28:46] So in a double elimination bracket

[00:28:49] Maybe you lose in the winners

[00:28:51] And go you know what

[00:28:53] It was a bad match up

[00:28:54] Or I didn't play my best ball

[00:28:56] I'm going to get hot and the losers come back

[00:28:58] Double dip right

[00:29:00] If you have the ability to do that

[00:29:02] With this format

[00:29:04] You just got to play good

[00:29:05] You got to play good

[00:29:06] You have to

[00:29:07] Every ball

[00:29:09] Trevor is a proof

[00:29:10] Trevor is a you know what

[00:29:12] I said this when it started

[00:29:13] I said this is going to be an opportunity

[00:29:15] For different people to have a chance

[00:29:17] To win the tournament

[00:29:18] And look at the winners

[00:29:20] Trevor

[00:29:21] And you got the two girls

[00:29:23] I'm so brain dead and old

[00:29:24] Oh it was Maggie Strong

[00:29:27] And Jessica Sam Flabe

[00:29:29] Jessica

[00:29:30] You know you had these different people

[00:29:33] Winning these events

[00:29:34] And it made it more exciting

[00:29:35] Oh it did

[00:29:36] I mean I would

[00:29:37] I guess it's kind of weird for me

[00:29:39] Because when you have 17

[00:29:41] Still in and the finals are over

[00:29:44] It's kind of weird

[00:29:45] You know what everything is weird right

[00:29:47] We played back in the day

[00:29:48] When they were only open and pro

[00:29:50] Or open and novice that was it

[00:29:52] You got that now

[00:29:53] I mean it's impossible

[00:29:54] But you know it's changed

[00:29:56] It's a tournament

[00:29:58] The same people that complain about championship

[00:30:00] Or the same people that complain about being

[00:30:02] In a journal five in the morning

[00:30:03] To have to play a match

[00:30:04] They're going to complain no matter what

[00:30:06] Well yeah

[00:30:07] You can't win no matter what

[00:30:09] Well I don't know

[00:30:11] But I know because me and Rob talk a little bit

[00:30:13] During these times

[00:30:14] When these things are going on

[00:30:15] And because Rob's got a life

[00:30:19] Rob's got a job

[00:30:20] Rob you think

[00:30:22] I mean he loves to put on this tournament

[00:30:24] It's a great tournament

[00:30:24] Honestly I think Florida is

[00:30:27] There's not a tournament that

[00:30:29] Of course the worlds are the worlds

[00:30:31] But you know you just got

[00:30:34] The competition in Florida

[00:30:35] The guys you never heard of

[00:30:36] You know they'll kick your butt

[00:30:38] I mean there's so much competition

[00:30:40] Very deep here

[00:30:42] Yeah yeah yeah

[00:30:44] At the lower levels

[00:30:45] You win

[00:30:46] Yeah

[00:30:47] Yeah

[00:30:48] At the lower levels

[00:30:49] There are amateur and extra players there

[00:30:51] You guys have solid experts man

[00:30:53] That can go into pro event on tour

[00:30:55] Just because of the level of competition

[00:30:58] That they're playing on a weekly basis

[00:30:59] And they're never going out

[00:31:01] They're just playing locals

[00:31:02] So you guys I mean

[00:31:04] It's thick down there

[00:31:05] And I've told people

[00:31:06] I got a handful of buddies from back home

[00:31:08] That are going

[00:31:10] They've made it a point now

[00:31:11] They want to go every year

[00:31:12] So they're taking their wives

[00:31:13] Their wives are going to go hang out at the beach

[00:31:15] They're going to play football

[00:31:16] And it's

[00:31:17] It's a great thing about the tournament

[00:31:19] They're saying you can bring your wife

[00:31:20] And she's going to be like

[00:31:21] What do you mean I got to go look at those egg blues

[00:31:24] I don't get to go to the beach

[00:31:26] Yeah September in Florida is a good time man

[00:31:28] Yeah

[00:31:28] It's a good time

[00:31:29] Listen I had so

[00:31:31] Justin Shaw is coming to be one of the table guy

[00:31:33] Who sets up the table guys

[00:31:39] He just want to make sure it's going to be warm

[00:31:40] Like dude it's going to be 96

[00:31:43] During the day

[00:31:44] It's still

[00:31:45] Bro it's not going to cool down

[00:31:46] The end of October

[00:31:47] You got plenty

[00:31:48] You ain't got

[00:31:49] Tell her to bring sunscreen

[00:31:50] Right

[00:31:51] She's going to burn

[00:31:59] Oh she'll love that alright

[00:32:01] Yeah yeah yeah

[00:32:02] I like Justin

[00:32:03] Justin's a good dude

[00:32:04] Yeah it's true when I fight buddy

[00:32:06] When people talk about that

[00:32:07] You got a thousand

[00:32:08] Think about this

[00:32:09] A thousand people a day moved to Florida

[00:32:11] A thousand people a day

[00:32:13] Yeah a day

[00:32:14] Whoa

[00:32:14] It's been so much money to get here

[00:32:16] Just to go on vacation

[00:32:18] If you're a foosball player

[00:32:20] You get a discounted rate

[00:32:22] Get to hang out with so many people

[00:32:23] You're not just going on vacation

[00:32:24] You know so many people there

[00:32:27] And like you know trust me

[00:32:28] People have been told to like

[00:32:30] To party a little bit

[00:32:31] I'm not sure I've never been that guy

[00:32:33] I'm just saying

[00:32:33] But you know it's so

[00:32:35] It's funny when I hear people talking

[00:32:37] I'm like how could you not

[00:32:39] Tom Robinson come to Florida

[00:32:40] How could I not

[00:32:41] How could I not

[00:32:43] Yeah it's not

[00:32:43] Well it's kind of

[00:32:45] How could you not

[00:32:46] Well it is

[00:32:48] Well I'm kind of

[00:32:49] I'm committed to Michigan State

[00:32:51] So if it hadn't been for that

[00:32:53] Very nice to be your wife

[00:32:54] There's nobody per year I get it

[00:32:56] Yeah well next year

[00:32:57] She's going to be retired

[00:32:58] So she may be

[00:32:59] May be coming with me to Florida

[00:33:01] Those guys are a bunch of good dudes

[00:33:02] On Michigan State

[00:33:02] Oh yeah yeah yeah

[00:33:04] They're a bunch of good dudes

[00:33:05] Oh yeah yeah

[00:33:06] So here's a quick question

[00:33:08] All that Rob tells

[00:33:09] Can I tell

[00:33:10] I'm sorry but Rob can you

[00:33:11] Most people don't know this

[00:33:13] And nobody does this

[00:33:14] Rob what happens

[00:33:16] Like on the first side of the tournament

[00:33:18] At the beach

[00:33:19] Like you guys invite people to the beach

[00:33:21] Or something wrong

[00:33:22] Oh yeah so

[00:33:23] I do a players party

[00:33:25] So probably on Thursday

[00:33:27] We do it in the afternoon

[00:33:28] Like three o'clock on Thursday

[00:33:30] Don't tell everybody

[00:33:30] You're going to have so many more people

[00:33:32] You're going to have so many

[00:33:32] But don't tell everybody

[00:33:34] That's okay because I don't need

[00:33:35] I do like the first four hundred

[00:33:37] Dollars and drinks

[00:33:37] And then after that they're on their own

[00:33:39] Nice

[00:33:39] So first come, first serve

[00:33:41] Cool

[00:33:42] But yeah we always have a good group

[00:33:44] Of people who come out there

[00:33:46] And hang and do that

[00:33:46] You know that's just

[00:33:48] Something I do extra for the players

[00:33:49] To come out and have a good time

[00:33:50] And if, if

[00:33:53] So Florida

[00:33:54] If nothing else

[00:33:55] We have great hospitality here

[00:33:57] Right

[00:33:58] You know so we'll treat you right

[00:33:59] When you come here

[00:34:00] And we won't let the people

[00:34:01] Come to the tournament

[00:34:02] Who shouldn't be there

[00:34:03] So here's

[00:34:04] Wink, wink, nudge, nudge

[00:34:07] They, they may get in one time

[00:34:09] But then they don't ever come again

[00:34:10] That's it

[00:34:11] Aha

[00:34:12] So we just know not to invite

[00:34:13] We're taking notes

[00:34:15] We're taking notes on yous

[00:34:16] Yeah

[00:34:17] So here's a quick question

[00:34:18] Because Colorado State is not

[00:34:20] Happening this year

[00:34:21] And Texas State is not happening

[00:34:23] This year

[00:34:23] You think that's going to affect

[00:34:25] Your attendance

[00:34:28] Well Texas State would have been

[00:34:29] In May

[00:34:30] So

[00:34:31] That kind of happened

[00:34:34] So Colorado State

[00:34:35] I just heard about that

[00:34:37] Yep

[00:34:38] So I mean realistically

[00:34:39] Mine's like the last major

[00:34:42] Tournament

[00:34:42] Because to be a major tournament

[00:34:43] You have to be fifteen thousand

[00:34:45] Dollars

[00:34:45] Or a block

[00:34:46] Right

[00:34:46] Because I think Michigan's like ten

[00:34:48] Or twelve grand

[00:34:48] It is ten

[00:34:49] Or twelve grand

[00:34:49] Yeah

[00:34:50] Twelve grand

[00:34:51] Okay so I don't want to misspeak

[00:34:52] But again those guys do a great job

[00:34:54] I'm not saying anything

[00:34:55] They, they, I love their tournament

[00:34:58] So mine will be the last major one

[00:35:00] For the year now that Colorado's

[00:35:03] Happening

[00:35:03] So yeah

[00:35:04] I mean if

[00:35:05] If you want to come to the last

[00:35:06] Major of the year

[00:35:06] This is it

[00:35:07] Yeah

[00:35:08] So I wish it wasn't so close to

[00:35:10] Worlds

[00:35:11] But Florida is an

[00:35:15] Incredibly difficult place

[00:35:16] To do deals with hotels

[00:35:18] On anything but the hot months

[00:35:20] So I mean I couldn't even get

[00:35:22] A week or two in October

[00:35:24] Like no, no

[00:35:25] That's already our prime season

[00:35:26] And the rates are gonna be like

[00:35:27] Two forty a night

[00:35:27] I'm like two forty a night

[00:35:29] Wow

[00:35:29] Like they would have to sell their

[00:35:31] Blood to be able to come

[00:35:32] For that

[00:35:32] You know

[00:35:34] And I know there would be

[00:35:35] Fuzers out there

[00:35:36] Working on selling my blood

[00:35:37] For two forty a night

[00:35:38] I'd do it

[00:35:39] There we go

[00:35:39] I'd come in all pale

[00:35:41] Well

[00:35:42] I got a guy

[00:35:43] I got a guy

[00:35:44] I got a guy

[00:35:45] I got a guy

[00:35:48] I knew you would

[00:35:49] You know

[00:35:49] I'd basically

[00:35:51] Latest that I could do my

[00:35:53] Tournament

[00:35:53] And still get a decent rate

[00:35:55] Was this last weekend in

[00:35:56] September

[00:35:56] Which is why I did it

[00:35:58] April

[00:35:59] Just kind of things

[00:36:00] That work out

[00:36:00] Because they already had

[00:36:01] Taken that spot

[00:36:02] But I will be

[00:36:03] So

[00:36:05] I don't know

[00:36:05] Have to talk to Ryan

[00:36:06] More about it

[00:36:07] When he comes

[00:36:08] Yes

[00:36:09] At the end of the month

[00:36:09] But I have to

[00:36:10] Kind of see

[00:36:12] You know

[00:36:12] What his plans are

[00:36:13] Moving forward

[00:36:14] And hopefully he's going to

[00:36:15] Continue the relationships

[00:36:16] That you know

[00:36:16] Mary is kind of cultivated

[00:36:18] And stuff

[00:36:18] Oh yeah

[00:36:19] Continue those

[00:36:20] And then

[00:36:21] So if

[00:36:22] I don't know

[00:36:23] If Texas State

[00:36:23] Is going to be back next year

[00:36:25] Or

[00:36:26] We hope

[00:36:27] So I need to talk to him

[00:36:28] About that because

[00:36:29] I could potentially

[00:36:31] So

[00:36:32] To not conflict as much

[00:36:34] With Vegas

[00:36:36] I could go

[00:36:37] A week or two into May

[00:36:40] And then

[00:36:40] I wouldn't have to

[00:36:41] About Vegas

[00:36:42] I wouldn't have to worry

[00:36:42] About Texas State

[00:36:43] So

[00:36:44] You know

[00:36:45] I just got to work

[00:36:45] All those things out with

[00:36:46] Ryan

[00:36:46] Yeah it's

[00:36:47] Ryan if you're listening

[00:36:48] Oh yeah

[00:36:50] It's certainly something

[00:36:51] That we could suggest

[00:36:52] For the new regime

[00:36:55] World of foosball tours

[00:36:56] What it's now going

[00:36:57] To be called

[00:36:58] But maybe

[00:36:59] There could be a more

[00:37:00] Formal calendar

[00:37:01] Place

[00:37:03] In front of everybody

[00:37:04] Who promotes foosball

[00:37:06] Who could say

[00:37:06] Hey

[00:37:07] You know

[00:37:08] There's a place

[00:37:09] I'd like to be

[00:37:09] Or here's

[00:37:10] How can we work this out

[00:37:11] Maybe

[00:37:12] Each promoter picks

[00:37:13] Their top three favorite dates

[00:37:15] And then they work it out

[00:37:16] From there

[00:37:17] Some way of

[00:37:19] Fairly divvying up the pie

[00:37:21] Because there's a lot of slices

[00:37:23] Now

[00:37:24] Being taken out

[00:37:26] Because there's

[00:37:26] Yeah

[00:37:27] No kidding

[00:37:28] Really over saturated

[00:37:29] Yeah

[00:37:30] Well

[00:37:30] You got certain corners

[00:37:32] Of the country

[00:37:33] That are having their own

[00:37:36] Locals

[00:37:37] Or regionals

[00:37:38] Or state

[00:37:38] Take the northwest

[00:37:40] The pdx

[00:37:41] You've got

[00:37:42] I mean

[00:37:43] Southern California

[00:37:43] Have a feeling it's going to be

[00:37:44] Kicking in sometime soon

[00:37:46] Then of course

[00:37:47] The northeast is now working on

[00:37:49] Hush hush

[00:37:50] Working on a thing

[00:37:52] And of course

[00:37:53] Then you got the southeast

[00:37:55] And yeah

[00:37:56] I mean there's going to be

[00:37:57] At least

[00:37:58] Five different divisions

[00:37:59] Or locations

[00:38:00] Throughout the country

[00:38:01] That are going to have

[00:38:02] Things happening

[00:38:04] So

[00:38:05] I think

[00:38:05] I think the southeast

[00:38:06] Like we got it really good

[00:38:08] Man

[00:38:08] From Kentucky down

[00:38:10] Like

[00:38:11] Kentucky's got two tournaments

[00:38:13] Again

[00:38:14] We've had

[00:38:14] I don't know if Ryan's going to

[00:38:16] Continue that

[00:38:16] But

[00:38:17] You know between the kickoff

[00:38:18] And worlds

[00:38:18] North Carolina state

[00:38:20] I'm just going to work my way

[00:38:21] South

[00:38:21] North Carolina state

[00:38:22] The guys in Tennessee are

[00:38:24] Trying to put together a

[00:38:25] Tennessee state

[00:38:26] Yep

[00:38:27] Georgia didn't have one this

[00:38:29] Year

[00:38:29] But we've had a Georgia state

[00:38:30] Mississippi state

[00:38:31] Louisiana state

[00:38:32] Nationals was in

[00:38:33] Louisiana

[00:38:33] Florida state

[00:38:34] Now you guys are having

[00:38:35] Your own tour

[00:38:37] I mean

[00:38:37] There's a lot of

[00:38:39] Fuseball to play

[00:38:39] And you can just get

[00:38:40] In a car and drive

[00:38:41] And go play a good

[00:38:42] Tournament with good

[00:38:43] Competition

[00:38:43] So we are really

[00:38:44] Really blessed

[00:38:46] Fuseball wise in the

[00:38:47] Southeast

[00:38:47] We can't complain

[00:38:49] As far as the calendar

[00:38:50] I mean

[00:38:51] I think it's

[00:38:52] It's well overdue

[00:38:55] You know

[00:38:57] It is well overdue

[00:38:59] You're right

[00:38:59] Well as

[00:39:00] As a

[00:39:00] As a consumer

[00:39:01] I want to know

[00:39:02] What's going on

[00:39:04] And when

[00:39:04] So that way

[00:39:04] I can pick and choose

[00:39:05] Right

[00:39:05] For a long time

[00:39:07] We didn't have the option

[00:39:07] To do that

[00:39:08] This is the tournament

[00:39:09] This is when it's happening

[00:39:10] If you want to come

[00:39:11] Come

[00:39:11] Now it's like

[00:39:12] If I got to choose between

[00:39:13] Florida state

[00:39:14] Or something else

[00:39:17] I mean

[00:39:18] Again

[00:39:18] Florida state

[00:39:19] Is an established

[00:39:20] Tournament

[00:39:20] It's been around for years

[00:39:21] It's run by

[00:39:22] A great promoter

[00:39:24] Who puts a lot into it

[00:39:25] The hotel's a good hotel

[00:39:27] You know the venue's

[00:39:28] Good

[00:39:28] The food's good

[00:39:29] I mean

[00:39:30] These are things

[00:39:31] That a player

[00:39:33] Thinks about

[00:39:34] So

[00:39:34] I don't know

[00:39:36] I just

[00:39:39] Like I said

[00:39:40] I just talk about it

[00:39:41] I have no skin in the game

[00:39:42] Tom outside of

[00:39:43] Wacking balls

[00:39:45] Wacking balls

[00:39:46] We are the consumers

[00:39:47] Like you say

[00:39:47] We're the consumers

[00:39:48] We're the participants

[00:39:48] And of course

[00:39:49] We rely upon people like

[00:39:51] Rob to

[00:39:51] Cut us a break here

[00:39:53] In fact

[00:39:54] Absolutely

[00:39:55] Goldie

[00:39:55] Who's watching on twitch TV

[00:39:57] Suggests that

[00:39:57] Rob said

[00:39:58] Anyone from Alabama

[00:40:00] Their entry fees

[00:40:01] Are going to be

[00:40:01] Half price for masters

[00:40:02] Is that true Rob?

[00:40:06] Who said that?

[00:40:08] Goldie 19

[00:40:08] Rob who said that?

[00:40:11] It says here

[00:40:12] Rob Gobi

[00:40:12] I guess Alabama

[00:40:14] Was pretty close

[00:40:15] To a different country

[00:40:15] Is anybody outside

[00:40:17] Of the United States

[00:40:18] Is getting out of

[00:40:19] I mean

[00:40:20] I guess Alabama

[00:40:20] Would qualify

[00:40:21] For that if you ever been there

[00:40:22] Hold on

[00:40:23] Have you ever been to Alabama

[00:40:24] Rob

[00:40:25] It's like a different country

[00:40:27] It is a different country

[00:40:28] Yeah

[00:40:28] I'm just saying

[00:40:29] I live

[00:40:30] I live smack dab

[00:40:31] In the middle of the state

[00:40:32] I've seen some things

[00:40:34] Oh

[00:40:34] Some things

[00:40:36] Yeah I know

[00:40:36] All UFOs

[00:40:38] No

[00:40:39] You have

[00:40:40] No

[00:40:41] UFOs would be

[00:40:42] Like the least of it dude

[00:40:43] Like I got a neighbor

[00:40:44] Down the street

[00:40:45] I live in a pretty nice place

[00:40:46] But that Joker

[00:40:47] Will be

[00:40:48] Will be like

[00:40:49] Pulling out of the neighborhood

[00:40:49] And he'll just be out front

[00:40:50] And he's wearing like

[00:40:52] A wife beater

[00:40:52] And tidy whiteies

[00:40:53] But he's got his wife beater

[00:40:54] Talking to his tidy whiteies

[00:40:55] He's got one sock

[00:40:56] He's got one sock on

[00:40:58] Right

[00:40:58] He's got his hair in a bun

[00:41:00] And he's just on the phone

[00:41:01] But he's like looking up at the sky

[00:41:03] I don't know

[00:41:04] Maybe he's looking for UFOs

[00:41:05] Wow

[00:41:06] Yeah

[00:41:06] I mean

[00:41:08] Listen

[00:41:08] That's like a Tuesday morning

[00:41:10] That's not even

[00:41:11] That's

[00:41:12] Yeah

[00:41:13] So

[00:41:14] Sounds like cheeseburger

[00:41:15] Right

[00:41:16] Sounds like cheeseburger

[00:41:18] Kyle's that's what he's gonna say

[00:41:19] He must be mobile

[00:41:21] Who is cheeseburger?

[00:41:22] The guy in Florida

[00:41:23] We call him cheeseburger

[00:41:24] He's like

[00:41:25] 65 years old

[00:41:26] He's a 55 year old amateur

[00:41:28] Oh boy

[00:41:29] He might be the same guy

[00:41:30] He might be the same guy

[00:41:32] He might be the same guy

[00:41:33] He might be the same guy

[00:41:34] He never misses a tournament

[00:41:36] Just never misses a tournament

[00:41:37] So he's gonna be there

[00:41:38] So if you meet him for the first time

[00:41:40] The first way he introduced himself

[00:41:42] And I'm Robin

[00:41:43] I used to be a crackhead

[00:41:44] I was in jail for 10 years

[00:41:45] That's how he introduced himself

[00:41:47] Well how do you do?

[00:41:49] It's hilarious

[00:41:50] It's a pleasure

[00:41:51] You only get

[00:41:52] You only get one chance

[00:41:53] To make a first impression

[00:41:54] Yes

[00:41:55] Well he doesn't

[00:41:56] He doesn't

[00:41:57] He doesn't

[00:41:57] He doesn't

[00:41:58] Everybody remembers cheeseburger

[00:42:00] That's right

[00:42:01] It's so funny too

[00:42:02] Because

[00:42:03] Coke no Pepsi

[00:42:03] He had like this hernia

[00:42:04] For the longest time

[00:42:06] And he would wear these

[00:42:07] I wasn't gonna say that

[00:42:08] He was really loose

[00:42:10] Shorts

[00:42:11] And he would stick

[00:42:12] This shirt in him

[00:42:13] So he'd have this big bulge

[00:42:15] And we're like

[00:42:16] What does it matter with you?

[00:42:17] It's like I got a hernia

[00:42:18] I'm like

[00:42:18] What's so bulging there?

[00:42:20] He's like I got a shirt in it

[00:42:21] So it doesn't hurt as bad

[00:42:22] Oh my God

[00:42:23] So now I got the hernia

[00:42:24] The government finally paid for

[00:42:26] To hernia it well

[00:42:26] So we finally paid

[00:42:27] For the hernia to be fixed

[00:42:29] Right?

[00:42:29] And he still wears all those

[00:42:31] Same loose shorts

[00:42:33] And now they're all fallen down

[00:42:34] Because you don't have to

[00:42:35] Put this shirt in there

[00:42:36] And you're like

[00:42:36] It's comfortable

[00:42:37] Why don't you

[00:42:37] And I'll be like

[00:42:39] Hey Robin

[00:42:39] Where'd you get that hat at

[00:42:41] He's like

[00:42:41] I got it out of a dumpster

[00:42:42] On Third Street

[00:42:43] And you know

[00:42:45] He's being

[00:42:46] Completely honest about it

[00:42:47] Yeah

[00:42:48] I thought

[00:42:49] We all pitched it

[00:42:50] Actually

[00:42:51] We ride the motorbike

[00:42:52] We all pitched it

[00:42:53] And got him a side saddle

[00:42:55] Just for

[00:42:55] Oh my God

[00:42:55] Right in the boys with him

[00:42:56] You know what I mean?

[00:42:57] Could we get him on the show

[00:42:58] Sometime

[00:42:59] We need to get somebody

[00:43:00] Like that on the

[00:43:00] You know

[00:43:02] Honestly you should

[00:43:03] Get him on the show

[00:43:07] He'll start talking about

[00:43:08] His brother who worked

[00:43:09] At the Ford dealership

[00:43:10] And he smoked crack

[00:43:11] And then he smoked crack

[00:43:13] With him

[00:43:13] I mean it'd be

[00:43:14] A hundred miles an hour

[00:43:15] He'd be all over the place

[00:43:16] I think it was

[00:43:17] Mike wasn't it

[00:43:18] Last year at Florida State

[00:43:19] He left

[00:43:20] And they went and

[00:43:21] Rode his motorcycle

[00:43:22] And he was going

[00:43:23] And he was going

[00:43:25] Because he was racing somebody

[00:43:27] And he fell over on his

[00:43:28] Poor little butt cheek

[00:43:30] Oh

[00:43:31] It was hilarious

[00:43:32] Oh my God

[00:43:34] He was a little hilarious

[00:43:36] To hear him talking about

[00:43:38] He's like

[00:43:38] Oh my ass took forever to heal

[00:43:40] It was you know

[00:43:42] Geniuses like that

[00:43:44] I mean that's the reason

[00:43:45] Howard Stern was such a success

[00:43:47] In his career

[00:43:48] In broadcasting

[00:43:49] And now of course

[00:43:50] Satellite because he brought

[00:43:52] People like that on

[00:43:53] And let them talk man

[00:43:54] That's what it's all about

[00:43:55] And he's like

[00:43:56] That's what we need

[00:43:57] You know what

[00:44:10] Yeah

[00:44:10] Yeah okay

[00:44:11] I hear you Mike

[00:44:12] I hear you

[00:44:13] Randy you're just about

[00:44:14] To say something

[00:44:15] What do you have for me here

[00:44:18] Just Google Florida man

[00:44:19] Google Florida man

[00:44:20] Just put it in

[00:44:21] Florida man

[00:44:22] Okay

[00:44:22] Or Florida man

[00:44:24] What else can I tell you guys

[00:44:25] About Florida state

[00:44:27] Yes

[00:44:28] Well so

[00:44:29] If no no

[00:44:30] Like again dude

[00:44:33] I'm not

[00:44:33] I beat this horse

[00:44:35] I beat it pretty hard

[00:44:38] Dude the food

[00:44:38] The food trucks

[00:44:39] The food trucks

[00:44:40] What are you having

[00:44:41] For food trucks this year

[00:44:42] Is it the same food trucks

[00:44:44] So the food trucks

[00:44:46] I've actually been

[00:44:47] Having a big issue with

[00:44:48] And I can't get

[00:44:49] Anybody to commit

[00:44:50] No

[00:44:51] Ouch

[00:44:52] So yeah

[00:44:53] The food trucks

[00:44:54] They will not become in this year

[00:44:56] No

[00:44:57] Having to have the food

[00:44:58] In the kitchen

[00:44:59] But we have food specials

[00:45:01] With special pricing

[00:45:02] For the players

[00:45:03] Okay

[00:45:05] Yeah

[00:45:05] The food trucks

[00:45:06] They just

[00:45:07] You know

[00:45:07] Oh yeah yeah I'll be there

[00:45:08] I'll be there

[00:45:09] Hey you're supposed to be here at 9

[00:45:11] Oh yeah

[00:45:12] I'll be there tomorrow

[00:45:13] I need you today

[00:45:14] At 9

[00:45:15] When you say you're

[00:45:16] It's 11 o'clock

[00:45:17] So then

[00:45:18] I mean they'd ended up hurting

[00:45:20] The players more

[00:45:21] And then of course

[00:45:22] Whose fault is it

[00:45:24] It's mine

[00:45:25] Yeah yeah

[00:45:26] Yeah 100% mine

[00:45:27] So you know

[00:45:28] I

[00:45:30] Regretfully this year

[00:45:31] The food trucks will not be coming

[00:45:33] Just because

[00:45:33] I can't get the commitment

[00:45:36] From them to show up

[00:45:38] Bummer

[00:45:39] Bummer bummer

[00:45:41] I'll tell you one thing Rob did

[00:45:43] It was genius

[00:45:44] Because you know

[00:45:44] How many times you go

[00:45:45] To a foosball tournament

[00:45:46] And it's hot right

[00:45:49] Somebody wants to be

[00:45:49] In a foosball room that's hot

[00:45:51] He bought these fans

[00:45:53] He brought them in

[00:45:55] And it's awesome

[00:45:56] Ah

[00:45:57] Circulating the air

[00:45:59] Yeah yeah

[00:46:00] I don't know

[00:46:01] You know

[00:46:01] I have a potential weight problem

[00:46:03] I don't know if you guys know that

[00:46:04] And I sweat a lot

[00:46:06] But yeah

[00:46:07] I like the fans

[00:46:09] It's so this year though

[00:46:10] They did replace the AC

[00:46:12] Okay

[00:46:13] In that room

[00:46:14] No I don't need you

[00:46:15] I don't know

[00:46:16] But I am still going to bring

[00:46:18] The fans too

[00:46:18] Because they were a big hit

[00:46:20] Nice

[00:46:20] Yeah

[00:46:21] It's cool to just

[00:46:22] When you get that many

[00:46:24] Kind of

[00:46:25] You know

[00:46:25] I don't want to say

[00:46:26] Fat sweaty guys

[00:46:27] But when you get a bunch

[00:46:28] Of robust sweaty guys in there

[00:46:30] It's good to have the air moving

[00:46:31] Rob

[00:46:32] Just sanitary reasons

[00:46:33] Rob

[00:46:34] I'm reliable that we work

[00:46:35] I'm not offended

[00:46:36] No

[00:46:37] We're athletes man

[00:46:38] We're athletes

[00:46:39] That's it

[00:46:39] True athletes

[00:46:42] True

[00:46:42] We're athletes

[00:46:43] Yeah

[00:46:43] We're athletes

[00:46:45] In the pure sense

[00:46:46] We're athletes

[00:46:47] I mean

[00:46:48] Hello

[00:46:49] Who are you going to have on

[00:46:50] Who are you going to have on staff this year

[00:46:53] Oh

[00:46:55] So

[00:46:57] One of the

[00:46:58] Biggest reasons for the success

[00:47:00] Of Florida State

[00:47:01] Is because of the staff I have

[00:47:02] I really

[00:47:03] You know

[00:47:04] I can't put a feather in my cap

[00:47:05] The only thing I can put

[00:47:06] A feather in my cap

[00:47:07] Is that I'm smart enough

[00:47:08] To hire the people that come

[00:47:10] And work for me

[00:47:10] So John

[00:47:11] And Kristen will be there

[00:47:12] Nice

[00:47:12] Lindsay of course will be there

[00:47:14] I got Deanna Newton from

[00:47:17] Georgia coming

[00:47:18] The table staff will be

[00:47:22] Randy

[00:47:24] Jason Kempfori

[00:47:25] Dustin Shaw

[00:47:28] Mary's got her employee coming

[00:47:31] And

[00:47:32] I feel like I'm forgetting

[00:47:33] Oh, Alastairston is going to be helping

[00:47:35] Probably Mike Bailey will be helping

[00:47:37] John Lehman was going to help

[00:47:39] But he's a fat turd

[00:47:40] He can't help

[00:47:40] So I'm not going to have him this year

[00:47:42] Okay

[00:47:43] And then I think that's it

[00:47:45] I said that because he's listening

[00:47:48] I'm sure that was a friend

[00:47:49] I like it

[00:47:51] I like it

[00:47:52] Now dude

[00:47:53] I'm hoping that Lehman's coming though right

[00:47:56] Well, Lehman just had back surgery

[00:47:58] Oh

[00:47:59] So

[00:48:00] Yeah, he just had major back

[00:48:02] He had a

[00:48:02] He's such a fun guy to hang out with

[00:48:05] Yeah, he's such a

[00:48:06] Yeah, yeah, yeah

[00:48:08] Early in the night

[00:48:09] He's fun to hang out with

[00:48:10] Late in the night

[00:48:11] He's not that much fun to hang out with

[00:48:12] You know

[00:48:12] Because he's slurring

[00:48:14] Oh, oh, oh

[00:48:16] He probably don't want me to say that

[00:48:17] He doesn't do coke

[00:48:18] I'm just kidding, he doesn't do that

[00:48:19] He told me that

[00:48:21] He doesn't do coke

[00:48:22] I'm going to spread that rumor

[00:48:24] He does not do that

[00:48:24] Let's go

[00:48:25] He doesn't do it

[00:48:26] He doesn't do it

[00:48:27] He doesn't drink 37 crowns in one night either

[00:48:30] Oh, oh

[00:48:31] There's Tito's

[00:48:32] No way

[00:48:32] He doesn't send him a Christmas card every year

[00:48:35] That's my Tito's idea

[00:48:37] It's unbelievable

[00:48:38] They got his address

[00:48:39] One night he's like

[00:48:41] We were playing a turtle one night locally

[00:48:42] And he's like

[00:48:44] What are you doing?

[00:48:48] I do know what the sad part is

[00:48:49] The sad part is

[00:48:51] I understand what you're saying

[00:48:52] I know

[00:48:54] You hear him like that so much

[00:48:55] Wow

[00:48:56] It's like when a foreigner comes in

[00:48:57] They live with you

[00:48:58] You're like at first you don't get it

[00:48:59] But then you're like

[00:49:00] I understand that

[00:49:01] You know

[00:49:01] I think the Florida state is worth going to

[00:49:04] Just to catch the characters, man

[00:49:06] Just to get the vibe

[00:49:08] The personalities

[00:49:09] I'm having a dough man

[00:49:10] Listen

[00:49:10] The first one I did at the hotel

[00:49:13] We had this idiot show his wiener

[00:49:15] To two girls at the bar

[00:49:16] We had to throw him out

[00:49:17] Nice

[00:49:18] Oh my God

[00:49:19] I'm like really

[00:49:20] You ain't got nothing better to do

[00:49:21] With showing your little wiener

[00:49:22] At the bar

[00:49:23] Wow

[00:49:24] Some guys

[00:49:25] Oh god

[00:49:26] Some guys

[00:49:29] Some guys

[00:49:29] We had people OD

[00:49:30] Remember

[00:49:30] Who OD'd last year

[00:49:32] Or it was a year before

[00:49:33] Remember

[00:49:35] OD'd

[00:49:35] Good good dude too

[00:49:36] I really feel bad

[00:49:38] Because he was a pretty cool dude

[00:49:39] And he OD'd at his house

[00:49:41] Not at the tournament

[00:49:41] He OD'd his house

[00:49:42] Gotcha gotcha

[00:49:43] We're true people

[00:49:44] Do OD

[00:49:45] But yeah

[00:49:46] And he was

[00:49:47] Walla Walla

[00:49:49] Walla Walla

[00:49:50] Remember

[00:49:50] Yeah

[00:49:51] It's crazy

[00:49:52] He actually passed away that

[00:49:53] He passed away that night

[00:49:55] Oh my God

[00:49:56] Yeah

[00:50:00] You know what I mean

[00:50:01] Like I'll be honest with you

[00:50:02] The funny part about Florida is

[00:50:05] Think about it

[00:50:06] If you're going to be homeless

[00:50:06] Would you want to be where it's warm

[00:50:08] I would say

[00:50:09] Yeah

[00:50:09] Either Florida or California

[00:50:11] Sure

[00:50:46] I know him for

[00:50:48] He's always a title sponsor

[00:50:50] For Florida State

[00:50:51] And I always try to get him

[00:50:52] To come out and play and stuff like that

[00:50:54] He's just like

[00:50:54] Nah here I'm just going to do this

[00:50:56] And he's always been the best

[00:50:59] Sponsor

[00:51:00] He's like

[00:51:50] It takes a community to raise idiots

[00:51:52] You know what I mean

[00:51:53] Until you got to have that community

[00:51:54] And we have it

[00:51:55] With the idiots

[00:51:56] What's the best kind

[00:51:57] Florida

[00:51:58] Florida is pretty united

[00:51:59] And I appreciate it

[00:52:00] Because you know

[00:52:01] There's infighting between states

[00:52:03] I know some states right now

[00:52:04] Where like there's a location

[00:52:05] Here and here

[00:52:24] We need to

[00:52:25] Love them

[00:52:26] Need to start a program

[00:52:28] To develop more people

[00:52:31] Like Kristen Grogan

[00:52:31] Because she's just

[00:52:33] Solid

[00:52:38] So you don't pay him

[00:52:40] We're not going to come to work

[00:52:41] They should be paid

[00:52:42] For what they do

[00:52:43] You know what I mean

[00:52:56] And you feed her

[00:52:56] And you take care of her

[00:52:58] And you don't have to

[00:52:59] Worry about anything

[00:52:59] She takes care of everything

[00:53:01] Everything

[00:53:02] My head would explode

[00:53:04] By Thursday night

[00:53:06] If it was not for Kristen

[00:53:08] Yeah

[00:53:08] She dates on so much

[00:53:38] Because I've known Stammy

[00:53:39] Since he was like

[00:53:40] 16 years old

[00:53:41] Or 18 whatever

[00:53:41] I know his dad

[00:53:43] Right

[00:54:42] When we were hanging out

[00:54:43] Last weekend

[00:54:44] At

[00:54:45] 28 of championships

[00:54:46] And she's thrilled

[00:54:48] You know

[00:54:48] She's just so happy

[00:54:49] And she has a lot

[00:54:50] Of great things to say

[00:54:51] About Florida

[00:54:52] Even though

[00:54:52] She said

[00:54:53] When you know

[00:54:54] Back in the day

[00:54:55] When she was a young

[00:54:56] Upstart player

[00:54:59] They treated her

[00:55:00] They treated her

[00:55:01] Like every other player

[00:55:02] Smalls by a lineman

[00:55:03] Right

[00:55:04] Right

[00:55:04] But it made her a champion

[00:55:06] And she knows that

[00:55:07] You know

[00:55:07] But no she

[00:55:09] She was good

[00:55:10] We do it

[00:55:11] We kick her to sleep

[00:55:12] You know what I mean

[00:55:12] We made her

[00:55:13] She is

[00:55:13] It was a

[00:55:15] Different world back then

[00:55:16] You know

[00:55:17] So you will be hearing

[00:55:18] Different world

[00:55:19] You will be hearing

[00:55:21] Our episode of

[00:55:22] A foosball radio on the road

[00:55:24] With

[00:55:24] With Liz Hillmore

[00:55:26] This week

[00:55:27] Just saying

[00:55:28] Talking to Liz all week

[00:55:29] And she's reminded me

[00:55:30] So many times this week

[00:55:32] Oh good

[00:55:33] How we treated her

[00:55:34] Well hey

[00:55:35] You know

[00:55:36] Wah

[00:55:36] Wah

[00:55:36] But it made her a champion

[00:55:38] You know

[00:55:39] Liz

[00:55:39] Liz

[00:55:41] Go ahead Mike

[00:55:43] This is Alamontro

[00:55:44] But he said

[00:55:45] Don't forget

[00:55:45] Elizabeth

[00:55:46] Topagda

[00:55:48] Oh

[00:55:49] Elizabeth

[00:55:49] Topagda

[00:55:50] We'll be doing verifying

[00:55:51] Yep

[00:55:52] Okay

[00:55:52] Nice

[00:55:53] Yep she'll be doing verifying

[00:55:54] She does a great job

[00:55:55] Cool

[00:55:56] Mike and Dan's wife

[00:55:56] Nah dude you got

[00:55:58] I mean again

[00:55:59] I kinda

[00:56:00] I wanna ask

[00:56:01] And I'm gonna

[00:56:02] I'm gonna ask

[00:56:03] But I mean

[00:56:03] I wanted

[00:56:04] Liz

[00:56:05] Liz Hill

[00:56:06] I always enjoy seeing her

[00:56:07] She's one of my favorite players

[00:56:09] Every time I see her

[00:56:09] I love watching her play

[00:56:10] But I just

[00:56:11] She's

[00:56:11] She's so sweet

[00:56:13] I just enjoy talking to her

[00:56:15] And seeing her

[00:56:15] At every event

[00:56:16] Yeah

[00:56:17] And I know she's in the National Hall of Fame

[00:56:20] But I think people don't give enough

[00:56:24] They don't put enough emphasis or prestige

[00:56:26] On the local Hall of Fame

[00:56:27] Because that's

[00:56:28] I mean those are big

[00:56:29] That's where people cut their teeth

[00:56:30] At the local level

[00:56:30] So congratulations

[00:56:31] To everybody being inducted

[00:56:33] But so I know

[00:56:35] We're getting to the end of the show here

[00:56:38] But you know

[00:56:40] It was April last year

[00:56:42] And then now we're going September this year

[00:56:44] But is

[00:56:46] Is doing a tournament of this level

[00:56:49] Does it take you all year?

[00:56:51] Is this like an all year thing

[00:56:52] To prepare and get done

[00:56:54] Or if you could kind of walk us through the timeline

[00:56:56] For an event like this

[00:56:58] Getting it going set up

[00:56:59] And then after it's done

[00:57:01] Do you go to the beach for a week

[00:57:03] And just rest

[00:57:04] Or like how does it work

[00:57:06] That would be nice

[00:57:07] So it's again

[00:57:09] With Haven Christen on staff

[00:57:13] She makes it

[00:57:14] I don't wanna say easy

[00:57:16] But she makes it easy for me

[00:57:17] She makes it easy

[00:57:18] It's not easy for her

[00:57:19] But she makes it easy for me

[00:57:22] So I'm super appreciative of her

[00:57:24] You know I mean

[00:57:24] Really it's just

[00:57:26] Facebook posts

[00:57:27] Answering questions

[00:57:28] Make sure

[00:57:29] I mean Tom you know

[00:57:30] You're on radio

[00:57:30] It's about numbers

[00:57:32] Numbers

[00:57:32] Numbers

[00:57:32] And so you gotta have repetition

[00:57:36] Of getting your posts out there

[00:57:37] And stuff which doesn't take me that much time

[00:57:41] So

[00:57:43] I guess

[00:57:44] I mean it's not overly intensive

[00:57:47] Until like Tuesday comes

[00:57:49] And then Wednesday when the tables arrive

[00:57:51] And then it's 100%

[00:57:54] Balls to the walls

[00:57:55] Getting everything set up

[00:57:56] But I mean I have plenty of table staff

[00:57:57] And the guys that I have are beasts

[00:57:59] You know

[00:58:01] They know the stuff

[00:58:02] How many

[00:58:02] How many tables

[00:58:03] And how many tables this year

[00:58:07] We're gonna have 27 this year

[00:58:09] Nice

[00:58:09] Nice

[00:58:10] Yeah so Mary's gonna be bringing 25

[00:58:12] And then I have a silver one

[00:58:13] And a red one

[00:58:14] That I'm also selling

[00:58:16] At the tournament

[00:58:18] So if anybody's looking for a table

[00:58:19] I have two of them that I'm selling

[00:58:20] For a little cheaper than what Mary's

[00:58:22] Gonna be selling them for

[00:58:23] But yeah there'll be 27 tables there

[00:58:25] So once set up is done

[00:58:27] And it's kind of the calm before the storm

[00:58:30] Thursday starts your events

[00:58:32] And then I really feel bad

[00:58:35] For Kristen and John at that point

[00:58:37] Because everybody's on bar in this stage

[00:58:40] I need this

[00:58:40] I need that

[00:58:41] I'm late for this

[00:58:42] I need this

[00:58:42] I need that

[00:58:43] I need this

[00:58:44] And you know

[00:58:44] Then they look to me

[00:58:45] And I'm just like

[00:58:46] I don't know

[00:58:47] To go back and talk to them

[00:58:50] What are you looking to be for

[00:58:52] Don't you see this most confused look

[00:58:54] On my face as well as your

[00:58:55] I have no idea what's going on

[00:58:57] Are you using

[00:58:58] So yeah

[00:58:58] They really handle everything

[00:58:59] Are you using the traditional software

[00:59:03] So

[00:59:04] I'm pretty sure we're gonna be using

[00:59:06] Mary's software

[00:59:07] Okay

[00:59:07] Gotcha

[00:59:08] And then we're also gonna have

[00:59:13] Inside Fooze will be there

[00:59:14] Videoing

[00:59:15] Cool

[00:59:16] So if you have their subscription

[00:59:17] Then they'll be there

[00:59:18] I'm not sure if they're gonna have

[00:59:20] Adam coming out and commentating

[00:59:22] I'm not sure

[00:59:22] So just to

[00:59:24] Move forward

[00:59:25] Yeah

[00:59:26] Just to clarify

[00:59:27] I have no idea

[00:59:29] Adam is no longer affiliated

[00:59:30] With Inside Fooze

[00:59:31] But is now with modern Fooze

[00:59:33] Adam will not be

[00:59:34] Commentating at Florida

[00:59:35] Correct

[00:59:36] I don't know that at all

[00:59:38] I don't know

[00:59:39] I don't know who they're gonna have

[00:59:41] Maybe

[00:59:42] I saw Ali

[00:59:43] I married him

[00:59:44] And I said

[00:59:46] We actually were playing

[00:59:48] Pro-doubles together at Florida State

[00:59:49] So we could look very well

[00:59:51] And she's like

[00:59:52] I'm not sure if he's coming

[00:59:53] I go I'll do it for free

[00:59:54] And she started laughing at me

[00:59:55] I was like

[00:59:57] Okay

[00:59:59] Sure

[01:00:00] Yeah so I don't

[01:00:02] Listen go back to

[01:00:03] I know

[01:00:04] Trust me

[01:00:05] I'm not expecting you to say a word

[01:00:07] From

[01:00:07] Yeah

[01:00:08] For me

[01:00:09] It's just funny

[01:00:10] Cause we can get along so good

[01:00:11] We actually play tournaments together

[01:00:12] She's like

[01:00:13] You realize I know

[01:00:15] Every single player

[01:00:16] And every single thing

[01:00:17] About everybody in Florida

[01:00:18] I know always

[01:00:19] You know

[01:00:20] Like yeah

[01:00:21] So

[01:00:22] What happened to Keith Glenn?

[01:00:24] Hey, what happened to him?

[01:00:26] Keith Glenn

[01:00:27] What happened to him?

[01:00:28] Yeah where's he been?

[01:00:29] I don't know

[01:00:30] You know

[01:00:31] No

[01:00:32] He probably got killed

[01:00:33] Cause people are sick of him

[01:00:34] No I think he's

[01:00:35] Just taking some time out

[01:00:36] Oh my gosh

[01:00:37] Don't say that

[01:00:38] He's taking some time out

[01:00:40] I don't know

[01:00:41] I saw

[01:00:41] I don't have a super tight relationship

[01:00:43] With Keith Glenn

[01:00:45] He's from Jacksonville right?

[01:00:47] I think so

[01:00:48] I'm not

[01:00:49] Yeah

[01:00:49] But he was doing some

[01:00:52] Commentated

[01:00:53] For

[01:00:54] A year

[01:00:54] Oh yeah

[01:00:55] He was doing quite a bit

[01:00:56] That's an inside foos thing

[01:00:57] Yeah

[01:00:59] That's not a

[01:01:00] That's not a me thing

[01:01:01] I just know that they're coming

[01:01:02] They asked me to come

[01:01:03] And I said

[01:01:03] Yeah you could

[01:01:04] And

[01:01:06] Full disclosure

[01:01:07] Probably will move to modern foos

[01:01:10] Maybe

[01:01:11] But I mean

[01:01:13] They do a

[01:01:14] Phenomenal job

[01:01:15] Inside foos does a good job too

[01:01:16] Oh sure

[01:01:16] You know

[01:01:18] They both have good product

[01:01:20] There is

[01:01:21] I do like that modern foos

[01:01:23] Anybody can get on and watch though

[01:01:25] I do like that

[01:01:25] Right

[01:01:26] And they're

[01:01:27] I'm assuming that's probably

[01:01:29] You too as well

[01:01:30] Yeah

[01:01:30] Well

[01:01:31] This is

[01:01:32] This is an

[01:01:33] Evolving thing right now

[01:01:34] When it comes to the media

[01:01:35] Around foosball

[01:01:36] And of course

[01:01:37] We've had this discussion recently

[01:01:38] That you've got modern foos

[01:01:41] You've got inside foos

[01:01:42] You have foosball TV

[01:01:44] From Europe

[01:01:45] And of course

[01:01:46] They were part of the ITSF

[01:01:47] When they came across the pond

[01:01:48] And set up their rig

[01:01:50] At Dallas, Texas

[01:01:51] And killed it

[01:01:53] I mean

[01:01:54] I mean they raised the bar

[01:01:55] You know quite a bit

[01:01:57] When it comes to

[01:01:58] Just their setup

[01:01:59] And they spent a ton

[01:02:00] I mean we're talking

[01:02:02] Well tens of thousands

[01:02:04] Of dollars

[01:02:05] On just the stage

[01:02:07] And the rig alone

[01:02:09] So yeah

[01:02:09] They certainly

[01:02:12] Didn't hold back

[01:02:13] When it came to

[01:02:14] Putting funds into the effort

[01:02:16] But that's

[01:02:17] I don't know if that's sustainable

[01:02:18] That's a

[01:02:19] That's a very difficult thing to do

[01:02:21] Especially for promoters

[01:02:22] On this side of the pond

[01:02:23] Right

[01:02:23] So

[01:02:24] Yeah

[01:02:25] I gotta tell you

[01:02:26] With modern foos

[01:02:28] I don't think you can beat it

[01:02:29] I just don't

[01:02:30] I just

[01:02:30] Yeah

[01:02:31] I'm sorry

[01:02:32] I love Maryam and those guys

[01:02:33] But those guys

[01:02:36] They just put on a great show

[01:02:37] Everything they do

[01:02:38] I'm not a fan of the fact

[01:02:40] The only show at one table

[01:02:41] But hey

[01:02:41] You know that's what you mean

[01:02:43] If it's dead air

[01:02:44] I want to see somebody playing

[01:02:45] You know what

[01:02:45] Out of the poor of my eye

[01:02:47] I'm seeing Tommy

[01:02:47] And these guys to the right

[01:02:48] I know Tommy's playing

[01:02:49] I can't watch it

[01:02:51] But besides that

[01:02:52] I mean I was out in Portland

[01:02:53] And I saw their setup

[01:02:54] When they first started

[01:02:56] And the things that they were doing

[01:02:57] They were getting incredible

[01:02:58] Great camera angles

[01:02:59] Yeah

[01:03:00] Now they've introduced slow mo

[01:03:02] In this

[01:03:02] Don't forget though your solitars

[01:03:04] I mean you got guys

[01:03:05] At different tournaments

[01:03:06] That are like

[01:03:06] Doing packages right

[01:03:10] Yes

[01:03:10] So

[01:03:11] Well I did have Colorado State

[01:03:12] But I guess they're not going

[01:03:13] To be this year

[01:03:14] But yeah

[01:03:15] Michigan State

[01:03:17] Mississippi State

[01:03:18] Ohio State

[01:03:19] So we have all those guys

[01:03:21] Giving away packages

[01:03:21] And a lot of them

[01:03:23] I have most

[01:03:24] Two of them are going

[01:03:26] For like

[01:03:26] Beginners and rookies

[01:03:27] And then

[01:03:28] I want to say

[01:03:30] Ohio State

[01:03:31] Is for expert singles

[01:03:32] I think that's what Steve

[01:03:35] Biney and I talked about

[01:03:35] I'll have to go back

[01:03:36] And look but yeah

[01:03:37] So listen

[01:03:39] If there's any other promoters

[01:03:40] Out there listening

[01:03:41] I love the cross promote

[01:03:43] With other promoters

[01:03:45] Because it's just great

[01:03:46] For the sport

[01:03:47] You know

[01:03:48] Let people come out

[01:03:49] When you know

[01:03:50] Their cash and stuff like that

[01:03:51] But when they win

[01:03:52] I mean I remember

[01:03:54] I went to a Syracuse

[01:03:55] Tournament

[01:03:56] And it was when

[01:03:57] Way back when

[01:03:58] West Gaut was running it

[01:04:00] And Tornado was still

[01:04:02] Kind of part of it

[01:04:03] With Charles

[01:04:04] And I went there

[01:04:06] And won

[01:04:07] Expert singles

[01:04:08] And won a package to Worlds

[01:04:10] I thought that was the best thing

[01:04:11] I'm like oh that's so cool

[01:04:12] Yeah

[01:04:13] So I'm like

[01:04:14] Why are other people

[01:04:15] Doing that you know

[01:04:16] So that's why

[01:04:17] I like to get

[01:04:18] More involved in it

[01:04:19] As much as I can

[01:04:20] Anybody who wants

[01:04:21] A cross promote with me

[01:04:22] I'm 100% for it

[01:04:23] I think it's great

[01:04:24] For the players

[01:04:24] Yeah

[01:04:25] It's great for everybody

[01:04:26] When I went to Oklahoma

[01:04:27] I called Rob

[01:04:27] I said Rob

[01:05:57] And that's the sad truth

[01:05:59] Yeah

[01:05:59] And that was a total

[01:06:00] 100% true story

[01:06:02] Yeah

[01:06:03] Danny

[01:06:04] Unique character

[01:06:05] Had his own radio show

[01:06:06] For the longest time

[01:06:08] And did very well with that

[01:06:10] But yeah

[01:06:10] Danny was

[01:06:11] A typical child star

[01:06:13] And now he's known as

[01:06:14] Dumbest

[01:06:15] Criminals

[01:06:16] Or something

[01:06:16] That TV show

[01:06:18] And he's like

[01:06:18] Yeah

[01:06:20] I'm Tony Harding

[01:06:21] And the world is

[01:06:22] Oh my god

[01:06:23] Yeah

[01:06:24] We've been talking about Bob Diaz

[01:06:25] Coming out of retirement

[01:06:26] To play floor to sea

[01:06:28] Alright

[01:06:30] Yeah so

[01:06:31] I know that he called Ryan

[01:06:33] To ask to play

[01:06:34] But Ryan had that drawing

[01:06:35] For the winner

[01:06:35] Mm-hmm

[01:06:36] For whoever bought his

[01:06:37] Training videos

[01:06:38] I don't know if that person

[01:06:40] Show on up or not though

[01:06:41] He is

[01:06:42] He texted me

[01:06:42] Because

[01:06:42] You would hope

[01:06:44] Yeah I'm pretty sure he is

[01:06:45] Oh my god

[01:06:46] Oh yes

[01:06:47] Okay

[01:06:47] Well because Ryan would let him

[01:06:48] Use it at a different tournament

[01:06:50] It's Rob Cutler

[01:06:51] Isn't it

[01:06:52] Yeah one of the

[01:06:53] Patreons

[01:06:53] Yeah Rob Cutler won it

[01:06:55] Oh is that who won it

[01:06:56] Oh yeah

[01:06:56] That's what I was told

[01:06:57] Yeah that's what I was told

[01:06:58] He's doing it

[01:06:59] See I'm going to pull a

[01:07:00] Randy here

[01:07:02] Because I'm not supposed

[01:07:02] To say this

[01:07:03] But you know I don't care

[01:07:04] What are they going to do

[01:07:05] To me I'm old right

[01:07:05] I might not live to the night

[01:07:09] Maybe Tom Yor

[01:07:10] Or if I play with him

[01:07:11] I don't know

[01:07:11] That's kind of

[01:07:12] Oh that would be

[01:07:13] Yeah I was wondering why he

[01:07:14] Didn't ask him

[01:07:15] He should have

[01:07:15] That'd be a great team

[01:07:16] I know

[01:07:17] What a great throwback

[01:07:18] That would be

[01:07:19] Well I got this call

[01:07:21] They said godfather

[01:07:22] You know I know we've been

[01:07:23] Playing together

[01:07:24] But may I play with

[01:07:25] You know

[01:07:26] All of my civil force

[01:07:28] I'll let it happen again

[01:07:31] So we better get to

[01:07:32] Make sure we get that in video

[01:07:33] It's going to be like

[01:07:34] Rare dinosaur sighting

[01:07:36] Right

[01:07:36] Oh yeah that's

[01:07:38] Bigfoot

[01:07:39] It's like seeing bigfoot

[01:07:40] Yeah

[01:07:41] You know what the funny

[01:07:42] About barb Bob is

[01:07:43] He could not play for 30 years

[01:07:44] He still has that same weirdo defense

[01:07:46] That he's going to block people

[01:07:49] Successful

[01:07:49] A wicked pull and a great pull kick

[01:07:51] Yeah yeah

[01:07:53] Absolutely

[01:07:53] Good to see you there though

[01:07:55] Yeah he hasn't been out

[01:07:57] Like I mean I was pre-COVID

[01:07:58] Last time I saw him out

[01:08:00] Yeah

[01:08:02] So he's

[01:08:04] He opened up

[01:08:05] A battery business

[01:08:08] Luthi and Mayan

[01:08:08] Battery business for golf guards

[01:08:10] Yeah

[01:08:11] Like he's flying over to China all the time

[01:08:13] And he's selling them to like manufacturers

[01:08:14] So

[01:08:15] He's super super busy

[01:08:18] Yeah

[01:08:18] But he's

[01:08:19] Killing an incredible business right now

[01:08:21] So good for him

[01:08:23] And he's got his son

[01:08:24] Is really good at golf too

[01:08:27] So I think he takes him out golfing a lot

[01:08:30] He's got some side hobbies going on

[01:08:33] Aside from baseball

[01:08:35] Yeah

[01:08:35] I can't focus on more than one thing at a time

[01:08:38] Yeah

[01:08:40] So

[01:10:58] That's his thing, man

[01:10:59] No, no

[01:10:59] He knows

[01:11:00] Let me tell you something

[01:11:01] It was like

[01:11:01] I met my long lost brother

[01:11:03] Right

[01:11:03] I hear him talking to a smack

[01:11:04] And I'm like

[01:11:05] I love that stuff

[01:11:40] For a long, long time

[01:11:41] So he's

[01:11:43] Yeah, yeah

[01:11:49] A quick

[01:11:50] Looks a little

[01:11:51] A bit of an aside

[01:11:52] For Kevin

[01:11:52] And I've got to give

[01:11:53] Him some kudos

[01:11:54] Because

[01:11:55] He spent several years

[01:11:57] Coming to the Albany area

[01:11:59] To Hudson Valley

[01:12:00] Community College

[01:12:00] Every year

[01:12:01] And doing a clinic

[01:12:03] For the students on campus

[01:12:05] And really put a lot of time

[01:12:07] And effort in

[01:12:07] I mean, you know

[01:12:08] The college was certainly

[01:12:10] Friendly to it

[01:12:11] And he knew

[01:12:12] The provost there

[01:12:13] On campus

[01:12:14] From the past

[01:12:15] And what a great

[01:12:16] Relationship that was

[01:12:17] And he took the time

[01:12:19] And the effort to come

[01:12:20] All the way down

[01:12:20] From Providence, Rhode Island

[01:12:21] To do that

[01:12:22] You know, kudos

[01:12:23] To Kevin for sure

[01:12:24] Yeah, well

[01:12:25] He just like

[01:12:25] Beaten on the college kids

[01:12:26] I guess that's it

[01:12:27] Yeah, yeah

[01:12:29] Yeah, yeah

[01:12:29] But yeah

[01:12:30] I hope you didn't

[01:12:32] I hope you didn't say me wrong

[01:12:32] But I know

[01:12:33] We really had a great weekend

[01:12:36] Kevin

[01:12:38] He was the last thing

[01:12:40] Out with trust

[01:12:40] No, Kevin

[01:12:42] Kevin

[01:12:42] Kevin's a boxer

[01:12:43] I think guys at Florida

[01:12:44] Have a good

[01:12:44] So, you know

[01:12:45] You can swing all you want

[01:12:46] Yeah

[01:12:47] No, okay

[01:12:50] Kevin's a good dude

[01:12:51] He's from

[01:12:52] He's originally

[01:12:52] From Brockton, Massachusetts

[01:12:54] I don't know

[01:12:54] If you guys know

[01:12:55] Anything about Brockton

[01:12:56] But you can Google it

[01:12:57] Rocky Marchianos from Brockton

[01:12:58] It's a rough spot

[01:13:01] So where I grew up in New Bedford

[01:13:03] We were rivals in hockey

[01:13:05] And I remember freshman year

[01:13:06] Playing varsity hockey

[01:13:08] Going to Brockton for a conference

[01:13:10] Like they were in our conference

[01:13:11] A conference match

[01:13:12] And being like on the bench

[01:13:14] And having kids from Brockton

[01:13:16] High behind the bench

[01:13:17] Like flashing guns at us

[01:13:18] While we were playing them

[01:13:19] Nice

[01:13:20] So, yeah

[01:13:21] It's a family-friendly place

[01:13:25] It's incentive

[01:13:25] That's what it is

[01:13:26] Yeah, yeah

[01:13:28] So, but

[01:13:28] Yeah, he's

[01:13:29] A rainbow kid

[01:13:31] Dude

[01:13:31] Yeah

[01:13:32] So it's a nice place

[01:13:34] But he's playing pro doubles

[01:13:36] With Bruce Welton

[01:13:38] Like I said

[01:13:38] There's going to be

[01:13:39] Some northeastern representatives

[01:13:41] It's going to be good

[01:13:43] I mean, I'm excited

[01:13:44] To watch the brackets

[01:13:45] I'm a bracket junkie

[01:13:46] And I'll be probably

[01:13:46] Watching on Inside Foods

[01:13:47] So I'm excited

[01:13:49] For the tournament, man

[01:13:50] Yeah

[01:13:50] I really, really

[01:13:51] I wish you

[01:13:52] All the success

[01:13:53] In the world

[01:13:53] I mean, it's been a good one

[01:13:55] Every year

[01:13:55] And I hope this is the best one

[01:13:57] Ever

[01:13:58] So, yeah, man

[01:13:59] I appreciate you coming on

[01:14:00] Taking the time

[01:14:01] To talk to us about

[01:14:03] Cheeseburger and

[01:14:06] Florida State obviously

[01:14:07] First of the color

[01:14:08] We need to get

[01:14:09] That's what we need

[01:14:10] We need not just

[01:14:10] Florida Biddle Cages

[01:14:11] Don't just describe the tournament

[01:14:13] Give us color

[01:14:13] We need to hear what's

[01:14:14] Really going on behind the scenes

[01:14:16] That's what

[01:14:18] There's a place

[01:14:18] I'm going

[01:14:19] Like I said

[01:14:20] If I was going to be homeless

[01:14:21] It'd be California

[01:14:21] Cause my luck

[01:14:22] I'd fall asleep on a bench

[01:14:24] In Florida

[01:14:24] And a gator would just

[01:14:25] Eat me

[01:14:28] Listen, do you see that

[01:14:29] One guy walking his dog

[01:14:31] By a pond

[01:14:32] Is he had a little

[01:14:32] Tiny dog like this

[01:14:33] He was walking by a pond

[01:14:34] And the gator

[01:14:35] Come out and grab the dog

[01:14:36] And the guy jumped in

[01:14:38] After a gator

[01:14:39] Pulled the dog out of his jaws

[01:14:41] Wow

[01:14:41] This is the best video

[01:14:42] Ever

[01:14:43] Save the dog's life

[01:14:44] YouTube

[01:14:44] It's the best

[01:14:45] The best alligator

[01:14:47] Video ever

[01:14:47] There's a pro golfer

[01:14:49] Walking

[01:14:49] And one of the other pro

[01:14:51] The guys from Florida

[01:14:52] One of the other pro golfers

[01:14:53] Like took off this way

[01:14:54] He walks over there

[01:14:55] With his iron

[01:14:56] And just backs the gator

[01:14:58] Knocks the gator

[01:14:59] Runs off into the lake

[01:15:00] And they go

[01:15:00] Florida

[01:15:01] That's Florida man

[01:15:02] Right there, right?

[01:15:02] I think that was

[01:15:04] Happy Gilmore, Mike

[01:15:05] Yes

[01:15:08] By the way

[01:15:09] Kay's friends name

[01:15:10] Austria

[01:15:11] That's all right

[01:15:12] No, she's

[01:15:14] From Austria

[01:15:14] Yes

[01:15:16] Fred is from Austria

[01:15:17] I'm sorry

[01:15:18] I thought that was

[01:15:19] Somebody was giving us a name

[01:15:20] Yep, no

[01:15:21] She's just giving us a coach

[01:15:22] Goldie was just mentioning

[01:15:23] That Kay's friend is from Austria

[01:15:25] Yeah, yeah, yeah

[01:15:26] Appreciate that

[01:15:28] And Klepto Killa Gaming

[01:15:30] Is saying that

[01:15:32] And didn't stop smoking a cigar

[01:15:34] Is that something

[01:15:35] That's significant to you guys?

[01:15:36] Yes, when he whacked the gator

[01:15:37] He jumped in the water

[01:15:39] And he kept his cigar dry

[01:15:41] That's my old South border friend

[01:15:45] Brian U2po, I think

[01:15:46] Oh my God, that's hilarious

[01:15:48] Don't get the cigar wet

[01:15:50] Don't, hey

[01:15:52] Don't mess with my dog

[01:15:53] Yeah

[01:15:55] Don't mess with my dog

[01:15:56] They were getting ready to fade out of here

[01:15:58] So is there anything else you want to say there, Rob?

[01:16:01] Yeah, I mean, no

[01:16:02] No, just looking forward to everybody who's going to come out

[01:16:05] And seeing everybody

[01:16:06] And it'll be another great tournament

[01:16:08] With awesome competition

[01:16:10] And

[01:16:12] We don't let any jerks in

[01:16:13] So it's

[01:16:14] One of the things

[01:16:15] I really pride myself on the tournament

[01:16:18] Is, you know

[01:16:19] We have very few refs that get called

[01:16:20] All weekend long

[01:16:22] So

[01:16:24] Either people are nice enough to kind of work it out

[01:16:26] Or

[01:16:27] You know, they're Jason Lurie

[01:16:28] Wait, who said that?

[01:16:31] No, Jason's an iron guy

[01:16:32] I don't want to say that

[01:16:33] He gets the most amount of refs called on him

[01:16:36] For sure

[01:16:38] Well, I like the first part

[01:16:40] I agree with

[01:16:40] I'm not so sure about the second comment

[01:16:42] But hey, we can do one thing

[01:16:44] So yeah, just looking forward to everybody coming out

[01:16:47] I appreciate you guys having me on

[01:16:48] Oh yeah, absolutely

[01:16:49] Y'all have a great night

[01:16:50] Well Rob, before you go

[01:16:52] One more thing

[01:16:54] When it comes to

[01:16:56] This year

[01:16:56] As opposed to the last time you put on the tournament

[01:17:00] What's new and different?

[01:17:01] Anything special that you're going to be doing

[01:17:02] That we need to know

[01:17:03] Be aware of

[01:17:04] Other than the Masters

[01:17:06] Well, that Masters event

[01:17:08] Was new

[01:17:08] This is going to be the first year doing that

[01:17:11] With the $300

[01:17:11] It doesn't cost them anything to get in

[01:17:13] So it's a free event for them

[01:17:15] Where they have an opportunity to win $300

[01:17:16] That's awesome

[01:17:18] Yeah, I mean

[01:17:19] It doesn't cost them anything

[01:17:20] Okay

[01:17:23] We're going to have quite a few more juniors

[01:17:25] Coming there

[01:17:25] Peter Pod seedlick has been

[01:17:27] At his daughter's school

[01:17:29] He bought a table and put it in there

[01:17:31] And has been running tournaments

[01:17:32] And teaching them and stuff

[01:17:33] So we're going to probably have

[01:17:35] 8 to 14 juniors there

[01:17:38] Awesome

[01:17:39] Sweet

[01:17:39] That's always exciting to see them play

[01:17:41] They're always excited to come out there

[01:17:43] And play and watch them get better

[01:17:45] Over the years

[01:17:46] Excellent

[01:17:47] We have that going

[01:17:50] And then everything else

[01:17:51] Is just kind of business as usual

[01:17:53] Sweet

[01:17:53] There you have it

[01:17:55] Florida State

[01:17:56] September 26th

[01:17:58] There's still rooms available

[01:17:59] As of the 12th

[01:18:01] Yes, there are still some room

[01:18:03] Actually every night there's rooms available

[01:18:05] We did sell out on Sunday

[01:18:07] But I had her add some more rooms

[01:18:10] So, yeah, there's plenty of rooms

[01:18:12] Just call the hotel

[01:18:15] Monday through Friday between 8 to 4

[01:18:18] Reach the front desk

[01:18:19] If they don't answer right away

[01:18:21] Just hit the option

[01:18:21] I think it's 3 for the front desk

[01:18:23] And then ask for the sales team

[01:18:24] And then they will book the room

[01:18:26] You don't have to give them a code or anything

[01:18:27] Just tell them you're coming

[01:18:28] For the foosball tournaments in one day

[01:18:31] And they will be able to book it

[01:18:32] For the foosball rate

[01:18:33] And it's only $105

[01:18:35] Oh wow

[01:18:36] Excellent

[01:18:37] That's cheap

[01:18:38] Yeah

[01:18:39] Plus taxes or whatever

[01:18:40] But yeah

[01:18:41] That's more like it

[01:18:42] It's a good rate

[01:18:43] It's a really good rate

[01:18:44] Especially for that hotel

[01:18:45] I mean, that's a good

[01:18:46] That's a really good location

[01:18:48] Look, the 12th, right?

[01:18:49] That's Thursday

[01:18:50] So technically four days

[01:18:52] So get it booked

[01:18:53] Get busy

[01:18:53] Let's go

[01:18:53] Get busy

[01:18:55] And you're 20 minutes

[01:18:57] Like 20 minutes from two airports

[01:18:59] To fly in

[01:19:01] And another 20 minutes to the beach

[01:19:03] I gotta tell you

[01:19:05] Clay Tubi has a funny comment

[01:19:07] I'll hear it

[01:19:08] Okay

[01:19:08] This rise of OID is so hard

[01:19:11] That he made up a contest

[01:19:12] To get out and play with Bob

[01:19:17] That's actually funny

[01:19:18] Right?

[01:19:19] That's funny

[01:19:19] That is funny

[01:19:20] That is golden, man

[01:19:21] They're right there

[01:19:22] You gotta get

[01:19:23] You gotta get props

[01:19:25] Further ado, man

[01:19:26] And that's it

[01:19:26] Yeah, screenshot that

[01:19:27] So we can show Bobby at the tournament

[01:19:29] Oh, he's gonna love that

[01:19:30] He's gonna love that

[01:19:31] Clay

[01:19:32] Clay

[01:19:32] Yeah

[01:19:34] Clay's pretty funny

[01:19:34] Oh yeah

[01:19:35] Well, you know

[01:19:36] He and Adam make an incredible team

[01:19:39] You know, it comes from modern foods

[01:19:40] And what they do

[01:19:41] It's kudos to both of those guys, man

[01:19:43] They're just killing it

[01:19:44] Their chemistry is excellent

[01:19:45] So that makes the

[01:19:47] That makes it the broadcast

[01:19:48] I love about the elements

[01:19:49] They don't care what anybody thinks

[01:19:51] Of course

[01:19:51] Of course

[01:19:52] They're making each other laugh

[01:19:53] Right?

[01:19:54] Yes

[01:19:54] You're either in or out, right?

[01:19:56] Either get the humor

[01:19:57] Or you don't get the humor

[01:19:57] So I think that

[01:19:59] Yeah

[01:19:59] He is like, that's what it's all about

[01:20:00] You know

[01:20:01] And it's compelling to watch

[01:20:03] You know, so that's

[01:20:04] That's the whole idea

[01:20:05] But yeah

[01:20:05] More of that, please

[01:20:07] For modern foods

[01:20:08] And thank you very much

[01:20:10] Absolutely, man

[01:20:11] Yeah

[01:20:11] I'm gonna say

[01:20:12] I gotta say this real quick

[01:20:13] Because my brain

[01:20:14] I've said this

[01:20:15] Almost said this like ten times

[01:20:16] I thought

[01:20:17] First of all

[01:20:18] The Lee and Hart commercials

[01:20:19] Were incredible

[01:20:20] Yeah

[01:20:21] And the worlds

[01:20:23] They were hilarious

[01:20:24] You know

[01:20:25] I mean

[01:20:26] You take

[01:20:27] You're not really expecting a lot

[01:20:28] When they do a commercial

[01:20:29] But that was really funny

[01:20:30] It's what you gotta do

[01:20:32] And

[01:20:32] And I'm gonna go back

[01:20:34] To the modern foods ball

[01:20:35] I mean

[01:20:36] To me

[01:20:37] I think their next level

[01:20:38] The whole setup

[01:20:40] With what they do

[01:20:41] Everything they're doing

[01:20:42] The commentary

[01:20:43] The way they're always there

[01:20:45] There's always

[01:20:46] I mean

[01:20:47] Yeah, somebody has to

[01:20:48] Go to the bathroom

[01:20:49] Eventually, right?

[01:20:50] Or get something to eat

[01:20:50] But basically

[01:20:51] Always have somebody there

[01:20:54] And it's not just

[01:20:56] And now

[01:20:57] The ball

[01:20:57] Went to the far rod

[01:20:58] To the three rod

[01:20:59] He shoots up a

[01:21:00] He sets up a snake

[01:21:01] Not about dogging anybody out

[01:21:03] But it's just time to move on

[01:21:04] For that, right?

[01:21:04] Right

[01:21:05] If you're watching that

[01:21:06] You know

[01:21:07] What they're doing

[01:21:08] You don't need to be

[01:21:09] Explained what a wall passes

[01:21:11] Yeah

[01:21:12] You need to talk about

[01:21:13] The guy's shoes look funny

[01:21:14] Whatever

[01:21:15] Who cares, you know

[01:21:16] And the insight

[01:21:17] You know

[01:21:18] I mean

[01:21:18] Adam and Claire

[01:21:19] Both pro-level players

[01:21:20] So they see

[01:21:21] What's happening

[01:21:22] They get it

[01:21:23] Yeah

[01:21:23] So even the insight

[01:21:25] And the information

[01:21:26] That they're putting out

[01:21:27] Is really quality

[01:21:29] Obviously

[01:21:29] The level of the

[01:21:31] Of the production

[01:21:32] Is high quality

[01:21:33] Oh yeah

[01:21:34] But the insight is

[01:21:36] I mean

[01:21:37] You can learn some stuff

[01:21:39] So I do appreciate

[01:21:40] The value in modern foods

[01:21:43] I know they've

[01:21:44] They've got a patreon as well

[01:21:45] Check out their page

[01:21:47] Yep

[01:21:47] Absolutely

[01:22:18] And they're always putting

[01:22:19] Videos out

[01:22:20] Yeah, I mean again

[01:22:21] No knock on inside foods

[01:22:23] Obviously

[01:22:24] You know

[01:22:25] Competition drives the market

[01:22:27] Stuff happens

[01:22:28] Yep, stuff happens

[01:22:29] Yeah

[01:22:30] Yeah, it's

[01:22:30] Jim Stevens is

[01:22:40] He

[01:22:41] You know

[01:22:42] It's like when people make

[01:22:43] Old guys like me

[01:22:44] And other guys by age

[01:22:46] You know what

[01:22:46] You guys are doing passes

[01:22:48] We have been

[01:22:52] They may have

[01:22:53] Made them better

[01:22:54] Gave me

[01:22:55] It's obviously changed

[01:22:56] The way it just evolved

[01:22:57] But you know

[01:22:57] You gotta give a shout out

[01:22:59] To the guys in the beginning

[01:23:00] I mean it's just

[01:23:02] Jim Stevens

[01:23:03] He's 30 years of his life

[01:23:04] To this thing

[01:23:05] And then people learn

[01:23:06] What else

[01:23:07] And it's incredible

[01:23:08] No one else was doing it

[01:23:09] Man

[01:23:10] I mean

[01:23:10] You put that kind of time

[01:23:12] And effort in for

[01:23:13] For several decades

[01:23:13] When no one else wants to do it

[01:23:16] So

[01:23:16] Yeah there you have it

[01:23:18] There was a couple guys

[01:23:18] Doing it in the 80s

[01:23:19] But you know

[01:23:20] They were usually at our room

[01:23:21] Party and somebody

[01:23:22] Thought they were talking

[01:23:24] They didn't make any sense

[01:23:25] Yeah

[01:23:27] So

[01:23:28] But you know consistency

[01:23:38] That's always gonna be there

[01:23:40] And we're grateful

[01:23:41] You know eternally grateful
