Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode 458 of spit and check. Let's present the bypink windy for my friends at New Amsterdam vodka here in the basketball sports podcast family. That sounds like the voice of someone who is backstage.

We got to get a little bit later, but on the old basketball sports podcast family. Hope you all enjoying all these interviews. We got two coming up later, one with Tyler to fully do New Jersey devil. And the other one with a pair of young studs, Matty Beniz and all in power couple Michigan guys. So don't miss that.

What about semi guesses? Back casual guest, the man morals dude. A lot of people wondering what you were eating this weekend, buddy.

Yeah, it was a craft skeeva craft skeeva. I hope I'm saying that correctly. It's an annual crayfish party here in Sweden. Always a big deal. Any time in August, you get the crayfish out. It was my first time being a part of it.

So I may have dabbled into the pink Whitney and the beer a little too much and I'm paying the price for it. But yeah, it was a really cool thing. Everybody in our neighborhood met out there. Everybody brings a little dish, a separate dish. And then you all bring in the crayfish explain the crayfish, though, because I saw that you were kind of struggling to eat it. Like, what do you just dip it in butter? Like, how is it eaten? How do you prepare it?

Yeah, so different than Louisiana where you see those big boils and everything's thrown in and then they just throw it on the table ours. We were eating them cold and it was really difficult. You know, it's a miniature shrimp and or a miniature lobster.

And so you work the claw first and then you rip the body off. And if you rip it off the right way, there's like a little butter in there that you can scoop out with your finger and you know, it's a lot of work for the little bit of meat that you get and stuff.

But it's more just the tradition. We're singing songs. You're taking a shot of the the snops afterwards. So it's just a really fun time. We had a music quiz going. It was it was a big night. But enough about me. That was not the important stuff of the weekend.

I saw you guys handing out $100,000 to some people. What was that all about?

Oh, spoiler alert. Yeah, being a granelli and a photographer's quater and a puzzo and thine a Brooklyn last week. Williamsburg. All the money we raised from the hockey game back in April, all the child. Here we sold people made donations. We were able to give the fight apartment and the police department $50,000 each over $100,000.

So first off, thank you to all the stories, all the checklist fans, anybody else who bought the shirts, the hats donated. We can't thank you enough. Those guys were so appreciative of it.

It was crazy. I didn't realize we raised that much money. Gee. And then to have the guys invite us over there. Pizza's waiting for us and soft drinks and gave us a tour of the house. And you know, I was a little sparky as a kid. Always chasing the fire. And fire engines around the neighborhood.

Hang out my dad's house is over the years. So it was extra special to me to go over there and not just do that. But see the looks on the guy's faces and see how much they appreciated what we did. And you know, it's not us. It's like getting the people who donated all the money.

It was just like I said, the gee, an honor to go over there, hang out, get the vibe. It was pretty cool. I mean, not cool. They had to go out in the truck, but it ended up be a nothing, but just be in the house.

Gee, remember that they had to know we got to see them all go to work right in real time and make a little video of it. Yeah, it was just awesome. I love going in the fire houses. I just every time I go in, I just get so wild by the hangout rooms. Like how they have this cool, just like little guys lounge. Basically, it's awesome. But in terms of the donations, it, it was awesome.

Man, because I, you know, hanging with these guys, being around these guys, knowing these guys for almost two years now, we know how charity driven they are from the PBA Children's and widow's fun to like the Ray fight, Ray Fyfer foundation. There's just so many organizations that these guys help that they support. So this money, we know is going to a good cause. And, you know, we couldn't be happier with the relationship we have with the NYPD and FD and why because we know what's going to happen in the future now.

Absolutely. I got to try the bugger gear on it. That's the first time I have put it on head to towed way 60 pounds more. All that equipment. That's before you put the head tag on your back. So, and we actually a vlog of the whole thing coming out. The vlog drops will actually it will be live when the time this podcast drops. It releases on Sunday night. So, yeah, super, super excited to see that. You can see our age. You're us up in the fire gear. You can kind of see how the whole day went down and you can find that on Tricklett YouTube channel. I was given the blue steel is one of those pictures. Gee, definitely going for Miss, Miss the January in the calendar.

The next year, but folks, before we continue, it's the with dog here and you know it's time to talk some pink Whitney. Thank you very much for listening and thank you very much for drinking more importantly because this drink. It's taken the world by storm.

How about those sound effects as I've started to do these ad reads and get involved with really diving in deep to pink Whitney and what it means to so many people out there.

I told you I've been receiving DMs of special maybe occasions pink Whitney's at weddings, backs of parties, backs of rats. All I do know is that summer 2023. The pink Whitney summer is rolling on rolling on rolling on. It's like a boulder going down a hill.
