The following is an archived podcast presented by the Branson and Hudson Foundation for Podcast Recovery,

It is the first and only episode of the podcast.

Welcome to episode one.

Welcome everyone to Hogtide with Tony Ropes presented by Pinball Sports.

I'm your host, Tony Ropes.

And today I am joined by someone who has never been on this show, but has been on other shows by pinball sports.

Someone that I've gotten to know over the years, I consider him a good friend, I hope.

And also a special guest.

But first, let me introduce Briden and Brantley. Brian, I think you were joining me today.

Oh, of course, Tony. I'm a big fan. And as you know, I'm happy to be here in Boston, home of my Celtics.

I've been a long time Celtics fan. Oh, yeah. You've always been a Celtics. It's just good to see them finally, finally getting their getting theirs out. Finally, it's about time.

But let's not, we can go into that later.

Let's not hesitate any further.

We have a very special guest, probably more important than Briden himself.

Bryden, would you please introduce our other guests here?

Oh, shucks.

I'm so nervous to introduce my mama here that, well, this is my mama, Barb.

She raised me from since I was just a little, since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

I'm Barb, you know, I'm really excited to be here.

I'm really excited to, you know, to support my son and show that, you know, I'm here to, you know, to, you know, I'm not going to embarrass him.

I'm not going to, you know, can do this.
