Hello and welcome back to Talking Giants, presented by the Fanatic Sportsbook.

It is May 18th, 2026, and we had LPG on Joe Rubeck.

It's been a while since we had Joe on, but I really wanted to get him on to talk about the softball game.

And really for like the first 15, 16, 17 minutes or so, we did talk about it.

So I want you to kind of give us a shot talking

through it because it really does mean a lot to both of us this year. And obviously I'm not

working on the game at all, but the cause, the Brian Burns family charities and specifically

hype for life, centered around children and kids with autism. It's very, very personal to me. And I kind of describe why. I have a sister with autism. Her name is Carly. She lives in a group home right now. I love her dearly. And I have always kind of respected and loved and being involved in, like, the autism awareness community. So we talked a lot about that. It went on for a little bit,

but I want you to give it a shot. I promise you that we give you some really good Giants talk in this, too, because we're getting pretty excited about this team. We recorded this back on Thursday, the day that the schedule came out. So LPG had a chance to kind of react to it. Obviously, he's going every game. So he's planning out what his 2026 and the latter part of his

2026 is looking like. And we are damn excited about this team. And the expectation is to win some damn football games, earn the right to win, see if we can get into the playoffs and maybe make something happen. Of course, that's the expectation. But we got a long way to that. We got a long way to that. But conversations like this are going to help get us there. So thank you to LPG for coming on. The link to the link, let's try this again. The link is in the description. If you want to go to the softball game, and even if you can't go to the game, there are certain various ways that you can donate to LPG via Venmo and things like that. You can still be part of the game even if you

cannot go, which I really would encourage you, and it would mean a lot to me. No, it would mean a lot to Brian Burns and his family, and I know it would mean a lot to Joe as well. But before, before we get to talking with LPG, I got to talk to you about Seeky. Because today's episode is sponsored by Seekek. Obviously, the Umbl season is here. The NBA NHL playoffs, they're here as well. And the World Cup is coming up this summer. Seekek, they're the number one rated, their number one rated ticketing app in the world. They have over 70,000 events listed. Seek, number one rated ticketing app. Did I say that already? I said it twice because it's so true. There's a lot of stuff going on.

I'm going to concerts and even there's a ton of NASCAR races going on. By the time that you're listening to this, I have seen Dover Motor Speedway. I'm coming home from Dover. And then by the time you're listening to this, tomorrow I'm going to Charlotte.

You'll never guess where I got my tickets to sit my ass down at Dover and sit my ass down in Charlotte and watch some damn races.

I went to Seat Geek.

And I used code John Boy 10 and I got 10% off my pair of tickets at Seatheek.

That's 10% off any tickets with promo code John Boy 10.

Make sure you click the link in the description to download the app and have the code automatically added to your account so you can use it later. And if you want to support us, you can use that code and he can save some money too. I appreciate you. I appreciate C-Geek and I appreciate LPG, license plate guy, Joe Rubeck, for coming on the show.

Here he is.

All right, welcome coming on the show.

Here he is.
