But right now it's time for this. It's time to go into the bit of skin show way back machine. Talk to a lot about some urban legends like the Richard gear, gerbosituation, the Rod Stewart stomach pump story. We don't know if they're fully true or not. But when we haven't talked about includes one of Hollywood's biggest actors and in all time baseball grade. Here's my Cal Ripon, Jr. He played for the Orioles for many years. Iron man. I remember him. Like to the AC green of baseball. He really was 2,632 straight games and I

1:03actually did a little math on last night. That's over 16 full 162 game seasons. There's a lot times over he'd go out there and just taking it back. Never missing a single game. Okay, there's skin. Yeah, Cal Ripon, Jr. It had great Cal Ripon, Jr. I'm more of a Billy Ripon, Jr. Guys, I think we all are F face. Now I'd like to bring in Kevin Costard at the story though. Because he made field of dreams and bull Durham for the love of the game. He's always ostensibly been related to baseball some of the greatest movies ever made. We never won two or he was like a baseball talk show host or something. I don't know. But we know he loves baseball. We know he has the key to the city of Irving. Those are what we know. And yellow and yellow stone, dude, he was incredible. So costar and Carcane, Jr. Met at the premiere of dances with wolves. I just watched dances with wolves the other night. Oh my God, me too. Then watched it with them there. Who was announcing that day? It sounds like a live audience. I just watched dances with wolves the other night.

2:05I thought it was when you were accepting that award and that was part of your speech. Guys, I just watched dances with wolves the other night and reminded me of the important lesson. Now I could sit here and tell this story, but look, too much of an ego here. Let's up the handy a little bit and bring in Will Ferrell. Oh, I know a little more than me about this. And he's on a podcast called Don't Tell Mama. This is a couple years ago. But I wanted to do this because we've reached another milestone. The anniversary of cow rooking breaking that streak. That's why we're doing this. Here's Will Ferrell. I don't know if I'm that conspiratorial. There are moments where I'm like, hmm, that seems like that could go. Yeah, yeah, do you have one in particular that that comes to mind? Here's one that I feel like kind of checks out. Cal Ripken Jr. For anyone who remembers or was a big baseball fan, there was a point in his streak. And it was getting towards the end where the game was called due to the

3:08electricity going out in the Baltimore baseball. And they had to call the game. There was a power outage. And the story is that Cal Ripken came home to find Kevin Costner cheating. His wife cheating with Kevin Costner, he they had a fight. He hurt his hand. Whoa, he's like, I can't play tonight. They're like, okay, what about the streak? I know the powers out the light cut the lights. And then they had a couple off days and it allowed him for the hand to heal up. And the streak continued. Whoa, I believe that. Okay. Yeah, do you all believe it? I don't believe they had a couple of off days. That was a part that was weird. Well, it created two. I thought that too. And then I did the I started going, okay, they had a day off the next day. They cut the lights. And then a day off the next day, there's two off days built in to heal the hand. But that's not the way he said it. No, it's not the way he said it. But he said then they

4:11had a couple of off days. Has he went out and never gone back and checked this? There's a few things that have been checked. One thing that has been checked is the other's actually the electric grid around Camden yards, everything else has lit up. So what have just been the state that can happen? Happened the other night in the SMU floor to stay. There is a part in the dugout before that game because they thought the game was going to happen. So he's still there in uniform. And the cameras get him. And he looks startled that a camera is on him and probably didn't want them to see his hand. So he kind of got away from the camera real quick. Very hard to go back and fully like confirm all this. But in the digging, I could do that's what I could. Now most people don't think this is real. Well, we'll Ferrell said it. And he's trusted figure. I believe it could happen. So the in Boulder, um, cost are created a rain out too. A similar thing. Turn the sprinklers on to cause a game to get rained out. So kind of did the same bit in a baseball movie.

5:13Yeah, I believe it. They would have protected that in Baltimore. That was the big story for the Orioles for years. Yeah. The streak is happening. And he's going to go get it, you know, I think it's interesting. And I would love to hear any follow up. If anyone knows anything about this, go ahead and leave us a talk back on the I hurt radio app. What should go ahead? Well, I'm just going to say a costner is in and out of Irving all the time. Maybe we could just get somebody out there with a mic. I would like to ambush him with that. The HB and Irving. Yeah. Hey, he's costar gets a tortilla. All right, there you have it. There is the way back machine coming up next skin. We're going to take us and things skin is tracking. All right, we have this beautiful collaboration between Lone Star 92 5 pluckers, one of our favorite restaurants and the haymaker network, our sports podcast network. What is it? Give you all the details next right here on Lone Star. Speaking of pluckers, best wings I've ever had in my life. It's a great place to go watch sports TVs as far as the eye can see. Man, the ranch dry rub are my favorite. I just man, it's always been my

6:15go to I get the flappers and they're just unstoppable. And anytime you go to pluckers, it's just a lively environment. The bars really cool. It's always hopping. People are there enjoying wings because look, let's face it, they're the greatest wings ever. And have you ever forced to be around other wings like I've been to a Super Bowl party or something before where somebody had wings from somewhere else, I feel sorry for those places because I'm spoiled from enjoying pluckers. Yeah, and here's the deal. Saturdays and Sundays in the fall are amazing with all that football on the tube. They're going to have all kinds of games at pluckers because there's TVs everywhere, especially I love being in that bar area. So you can eat wings and drink beer and watch all the games and you can post up there all day. It is an awesome place to hang so much fun during the week. They do trivia and different things. Pluckers is just a vibe and it is delicious food. Don't forget tomorrow, Friday will be having lunch at the one at lovers and green vote 11 o'clock. And we want you to join us for our special podcast and a chance to win ZZ Top Tickets. So come see us tomorrow at pluckers, where if you don't like our wings, we'll give you the
