10/9 5-3 World Cup Concessions

0:00No one else will know. Didn't hear the whole show. Don't feel bad. Neither did we. Getcha up with podcasts. Available on the time and time of the ramp. Apple Podcasts. Spotify. Pandora. Or wherever you get your podcasts. I guess this is a dot and I already went by air. World Cup's happening, you can enjoy a $75 caviar top tray of tater tots in Miami. In the stadium, I guess, I don't know. Yeah, that was a concession thing. Yeah, $40 empanada weighing at five pounds in Miami. Ribbite tacos for eight bucks in Guadalajara. Eight bucks doesn't seem bad anymore. No, everything's ridiculous. Ribbite taco. Just food is expensive as hell anywhere. Something called a twinkie cheeseburger.

1:01That is nothing to do with dessert for $22 in Los Angeles. What's that? What's a twinkie? A twink. And maybe you share it with a twink. That or it's twinkie a cheeseburger inside two twinkies as you're born. There's just in between the buns. There's no, he's double burger. I'll actually have the actual buns too. Yeah. And then twinkies and then a burger. And the burger at the top of the bun looks like it's got like flamen hot cheeto dust or something on top of it. Yeah, good. This is an actual bun and then the twinkies are on top of the burger. So the twinkies are also between the bun. I don't understand sandwiches that are that tall. How are you supposed to take a bite of it? Yeah, I don't know. I don't get it. Smooth. Yeah, I don't like people that if you have to take a knife and fork to a shame, which is not a sandwich. It's like some of those deli sandwiches that look like the pastrami of Helia. Yeah, you know, besides the most people's head. Sandwiches can be too tall. The other thing that apparently the the euros

2:02and all the foreign fans are pitching about the beer price at stadiums. Yeah. 19, $20 for a beer and like Jesus. I guess in most of the plays, like I guess I think they quoted a German guy in this and like, they said like that's three times what a beer cost at a game in Germany. I was wondering how much beer costs, you know, at an overseas. You know, seven bucks. Football stadium. Six, seven bucks. Like it should. Right. Like it should. Exactly. See, Iowa State, by the way, is finally going to allow. Oh, yeah. Boos because they have their team and their coach went to Penn State and they're going to rebuild that program completely and they need the money and they were the ones. Their AD was one of the last guys. I remember Nebraska held off for a long time too, but because of one guy. But the AD at eight, what if I read that right, we have a bunch of Iowa State fans in the area, or listening area, he said, not on my watch. Well, we ever have booze. Oh, we lost everybody. We need NIL money. Okay, booze now.

3:02That's exactly what happened. He said, no, we're very good. Yeah, they find the camera out. Yeah, because they did lose everybody to my boys. It looked like when they had it initially, they might have allowed a reentry. And now they're like, no reentry now. No entry, right? Oh, okay. So the, the twinkie cheeseburger, the twinkies in there are actually, it says what they call Texas twinkies, a bacon wrapped jalapeno stuffed with brisket and cream cheese. Inside the twinkie. No, I, I'm reading this right. It says Southern California's twinkie cheeseburger is in fact a burger topped with a Texas twinkie, bacon wrapped jalapeno stuffed with brisket and cream cheese. Matter of it, we're reputies people off in Mexico. The daily minimum wage in Mexico City is 315.04 pesos, roughly 18 bucks. Some beers in Mexico City Stadium were selling between 299 and 310 pesos. So basically, one beer is one day's work.

4:02Yeah. The average salary about twice as much as fans would ordinarily pay the stadium when the World Cup wasn't in town. Yeah, so they're screwing everybody, man. But Atlanta, where we always heard, they keep their concessions low. Right, right. They're not, they're not backing off of that. They're three dollar pizza, $4 sodas, $5 cheeseburger beers for as little as 8 bucks. Yeah. Why are they the only plates that seems to be cool about all that? I don't know. Because all these major cities, especially to another sporting event, they make their money. One of my favorite ones, there's somebody put a, it was a, it was a, somebody put it out, they put a picture of receipt at a baseball game and said, I can't take my kids to the baseball game anymore. Look at this receipt. And it showed like, it showed like three cheeseburgers. My four cheeseburgers, we had two kids and him and his wife. And then it said, and the bill was going to be like,

5:02like, 200 some dollars. And it said, and then the 17 course lights. Right. There was a lot of beer on there. Can't take my family to the game anymore. Isn't it just like airports? They're charging you because they can. Yep. You know, what are you going to do? I'm sure what I spent, I was at PNC. Well, how much were beers at the College Road series? I've been through a couple of years. No, I don't even look. No. I don't even look at it. I just just ordered one. Right. We've got a beer and a megapine. And I can tell you what I paid. Yeah. And I can't tell you what I paid in Pittsburgh. I was in, when I saw the power Charlie this year, but I'm sure it was like 12 bucks of beer or something like that. I know that when I golfed over the weekend on Sunday, I paid only $13 for two cocktails. Wow. I thought that was pretty good. I was at an American Legion for a little bit on Thursday. Well, that had to be fun. Yeah. And just for a little bit, I was meeting somebody there

6:03because we were going someplace else, blah, blah, blah. But whatever, so I ordered, we ordered. Did you want to have a hook up with some like-minded people? No, that's why I had other people. Did they make you put your hat up real high? Yeah. Yo, you can't wear a hat in a Legion. Oh, right. Yeah, we're a hat in a Legion. As soon as you left, did you feel the urge to put it up real high after hanging out with a bunch of kids? Can't wear a hat in a Legion. No, it was two, one double vodka soda, one vodka soda. Nine bucks. There are a gust of natural. Nine bucks. No hat. Did you also have to tuck your shirt in? No, no, no, no, no, no. That's a military thing. Did you put your hand on your heart and set the pledge of a Legion? It's a moment. You walked into the American Legion. It's just a bunch of drunks like all American Legion's are. Come on. It's my hometowns American Legion. There's a bunch of drunks in there. No, it's a, it's a military thing. You can't, it's like a post, basically. American Legion is a post. You can't wear your hat inside.

7:04When you're in the bar, it's drinking. You can't put yours on the hat rack and knock it over. Oh, shut up. You are killing it today, Nick. Oh, pal. They use it as umbrella for the patio at the VFW. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just glad that I hear Legion. I'm not doing a show there. So late. Yeah, they enjoy you, Nick. I get you gig there. It's a fun time. I cut it. I can be a, I'll be at the Legion. Things aren't going great. Yeah, in there and be a rebel and do an act with your hat on. Yeah. In Europe, but these, at these soccer matches, not uncommon for beers to be four to five euros, about five or six bucks for a beer. Wow. Yeah. Which again, is what it should be right everywhere it should be. Nick Udell, as well as probably a Lincoln for a Husker game. What was how much of beers there? Now, we're talking about it. Oh, I think it was probably 11, 12 bucks. Okay. Still a lot.

8:04They, they have some sort of deals that we could get. You get a beer and a hot dog for, I didn't seem insane. Okay. I think I've seen some stadiums where it's like, well, that's the problem. We're starting to realize it's not and you don't think it's the same to you. You're expecting to get ripped off right now getting ripped off that much. You're right. It's like the airport airport bar. You're expecting to get ripped off. Hot dogs have come out of the gun free. As long as you catch them. Yeah. Those are the special ones. I mean, I've seen beer prices like 19 bucks for, you know, I mean, they're probably 24 ounce beers, but still. Yeah. 24 ounce. I know. Jeff loves Texas Twinkie man. He's gay. That's some Randy. That's good. Jeff is gay. He's Jeff is gay guy, right? Yeah. I mean, are we getting to the point where people are going to revolt at beer prices in stadiums? No, I don't think so because what is there? Is there a point? It's like a good one. People want a beer. Now we haven't found it yet. If that's the case. No. I mean, is there a point where people just say, no, I'm because, you know, you draw

9:07an arbitrary line at some things where you just go, no, I'm getting screwed here. I'm not going to do this. It's usually not alcohol at stadiums or airports, puts. I know what you mean. It happens in the rest of our lives. Yeah, we've done that before. Well, that's not, you know, blah, blah, blah. It's a threshold, but you know, beer in the ballpark. Yeah. We haven't hit the threshold. Now you might not get two or three. You'll drink less beer. Yeah. Right. You'll drink less. Five bucks for a beer. Are you going to, is it some point you just say, no, what year is it? I haven't been, yeah. Yeah. You know, I don't know. That's why you get drunk in the parking lot. But then to keep your buzz going because you get a little hungover, you don't want to come down, you don't want to be, you don't want to start to come down with your buzz in the game. That sucks always to. Yeah. You need to get a vodka soda. There you go. Yeah. Or does this encourage people to sneak their own alcohol in and more. Yeah. Oh, the above more of the parking lot, more wizzinators. Yeah. How we used to do that back in the old days of the college world series?

10:10Oh, I know. I did it. It was the airplane bottles in my cargo shorts. Oh, okay. In my underwear. Because they would patch you down, wouldn't they? It would patch you down. So it was like airplane bottles underneath your balls and your underwear. You walk in. You buy a soda. You buy a soda. No, no, what we bought. I go to bathroom. First of all, take them all out of my underwear and put it in my pockets. The frozen lemonade. That too, but I would put them in soda too. The vodka went really well with the frozen lemonade. Right. And now they make you, well, I suppose you could carry them into your ass. And now I would be, it wasn't in my ass. But it's all, you know, everybody, you got to have the clear plastic bag. Yeah, you can't sneak anything in your bag. Right. No, no, but they're not going to text underneath your nuts. It's from your underwear. That shot is yours. Oh, yeah, wait, wait, wait. Even in the bottle, nobody else can throw it. You bring your own, you bring your own, your own nut flavored vodka. Infused.

11:10At least the outside of the bottle is not flavored. Yeah, they are sealed, you know. Is this vodka nut free? Well, no, the ads might have been there. My dad's were there. Yeah. I mean, maybe I guess you could wear, could you wear pants and stick, stick little bottles in your socks? Oh, I was in the grease, though. Yeah, I know, that's the, that's the downside there. I suppose you could. That'd be a good, that was a good way too, but I'm sure people did that, but I don't wear long pants. But yeah, you're not going to see a lot of long pants and baseball games in the summer. No, you're not. But once again, now, now that all colleges are allowing it, nobody's sneak, I mean, you might sneak it in because it's cheaper. Yeah, yeah, they still make those fake beer bellies with a little, little buzz, little booze in there. Nobody's good. But they're not selling vodka. They had a lot of stadiums. No, no, there are more places though that have a cocktail section. Right, but they're not cheap. No, they're not cheap either. Yeah. And they're selling all kinds of shelters too for the ladies and Nick. Oh, I like the Biter League Park here is a, yeah, cocktails there, they're the good one, station. Yeah, they've cocktail, yeah, they do.

12:11They do have your pin, like you're fine. Yeah. You're vodka pin. Yeah. Yeah. When do we start that? When is going to be a legal by weed in a legal state in the stadium? We don't need stone. Yeah, we do. Well, no, there was one of the, I forget who it was. Some of the time here in the last few months, the story came out that one of the state, I think it was Chicago, the, the bull stadium, they were going to start serving THC drink. That's right. They were. Why not? Yeah, but nobody's going to have a weed smoke in section. Not smoking. No, doesn't, don't the Rockies have that? No, they have, they have smoking sections out in the concourse that are specifically marked, but not your damn weed. Oh, I thought it was the other way around. No. No smoke at course field. Well, the last time I was there, they had, they had designated areas out in the concourse where you could stand. No, we all know smoke stays within its own airspace. Yeah, a lot of those are going away. Yeah. But when I was there, it did. How long has that been, plus 10 years? Yeah. Yeah, you might not be able to smoke at course field anymore.

13:13But at that point, the signs did say no marijuana. No weed, right? I would have the THC drinks will affect home field advantage or home court advantage. You got a bunch of stone people and drunk people are louder than stoneers. They are, they're much louder than stone people. A lot more of noxious. Yeah, for sure. But it's cool to see them vary in the offerings at the stadium, at the game, at the concert. Yeah, we'll see the THC drinks drink. Covering every kind of stupidity. Gentlemen, we've just received a PhD in stupidity. Every morning, you're listening to the Todd and Tyler ReadyWimpire.
