You can smell the weed in the air already, BT.

0:04.5

Is that a bad thing for it?

0:05.5

No, I mean, well, you know, me, I don't, I got you. But I've been to plenty of concerts like that before. I understand it. Rayquam, Mob, D. You can me? Dude, that's sick, man. I mean, you think about West Coast rap, right? But you talk about the East Coast rap. And were kind of they were kind of at least Mob Deep

0:21.4

boys they were kind of pulled into the like the Tupac stuff yeah there was dish tracks going back

0:26.4

and forth I remember Tupac yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure so and I think was

0:32.7

it was it prodigy I forget which one of them said that like they actually love Tupac and they, and they never really met him. And they're like, hey, keep this at us, man. We're about to make some money here. So that's going to be a sick concert. Looking forward to that one. Rayquod and Mob Deep, of course. All right. BT and Sal, all the fan, 888808. 101 is the number of call. We are awaiting the Strawman, Darrell Strawberry. We haven't had him on together. So it'll be fun to talk to Straw here for a little bit, obviously about his record going down and seeing what he thinks about Pete Alonzo writing that on the baseball there. You think he knows? What was written? He's going to find out. I think by now. I don't think he's very active on social media, so I'm not so sure that he knows. Somebody, I hope not, honestly.

1:12.1

But I would assume somebody had had to have gotten it to him or asked him about it. The BT and Salis show on the fan is presented by your tri-state Cadillac dealers, Cadillac the official luxury vehicle of the New York Mets. I do think it's interesting how he was telling us straws on the West Coast. So I assume that he was going to be,

1:09.8

not that he's going to be,

1:24.4

nothing's going to be hanging on for every single game to see Alonzo break the record. And I know he sent the video in. But I did assume he was going to be at the ceremony the day after. Like maybe they fly him in that morning yesterday morning. Now it turns out it got postponed until tonight. Yeah. They're going to have that ceremony for Pete tonight. so I certainly thought he was going to be there,

1:25.7

but apparently not he's on the West Coast.

1:26.7

He's not going?

1:46.2

1:47.1

He's not going?

1:48.3

Yeah, I mean, you know.

1:41.5

Maybe there's an issue. Maybe Pete met what he wrote on the bowl. Maybe he was distra. Well, do you think that he has a right if Straw doesn't show up? No. Oh, by the way, I'm saying that in jest.

1:43.5

I don't, I think they actually have a good relationship. I say you put yourself in Peaches.

1:45.5

You break the record.

1:46.5

You get a nice little video from Straw, but the Straw Man's not there. saying that in jest. I don't, I think they actually have a good relationship. I just say you put yourself in peach shoes. You break the record.

2:02.2

Yeah. You get a nice little video from Straw, but the Straw Man's not there. Okay, he's going

2:05.6

to be joining us here in a second, so we could ask him about that. I mean, Jeter didn't even go to Old Timers Day. So I'm going to get on Strawman for flying across the country, you know, On a win, though, I got Daryl's back.
