just i haven't had i haven't had a sip
2:06
of this coffee yet all right moving on
2:16
headed downtown i'm noticing this
2:16
paramount theater over here to the side
2:18
with the
2:19
neon marquee and everything and
2:23
it is very difficult to find parking
2:24
down here drove around for quite a while
2:25
there was no street parking even found a
2:27
parking garage drove around in the
2:28
parking garage for quite a while
2:31
but
2:32
accomplished the goal of finding parking
2:34
now we're gonna walk over to chinatown
2:36
it shouldn't be too difficult to find a
2:38
place to eat down here you walked in he
2:40
said it smells pretty good i haven't
2:42
walked in a restaurant and smelled that
2:44
good of a smell in a long time all right
2:47
so it's called
2:49
would you say we're in for a treat
2:51
bro
2:52
i'm literally
2:54
more excited than words all right thank
2:56
you
2:58
extra quick service very yeah they put
3:00
the spring rolls out like immediately
3:02
you've already got your your beef that's
3:04
a pretty good size not kidding guys this
3:07
might have taken 90 seconds okay mine
3:10
has arrived so yours took about 90
3:11
seconds to arrive mine took about
3:14
118 seconds so less than two minutes all
3:17
the food known as the chinatown gateway
3:20
there is quite a few people
3:22
sitting around playing cards which is
3:24
pretty cool the community out here
3:27
just getting together having some card
3:29
games so tell me what these are
3:31
um this is a juniper bonsai so this is a
3:34
ball it's like a so you might think of
3:36
bonsai i think of the smaller bonsais
3:37
but this is a bigger version of a
3:39
juniper yeah it's a big bonsai they got
3:42
they got everything like
3:43
tightened up right here to have the tree
3:46
leaning like this to give it that little
3:49
bit of
3:51
that angle
3:52
yeah it's a super cool tree
3:54
you got the steam rising up out of the
3:56
sewers there
4:05
i thought i was going to get lucky here
4:05
and this was going to be an active
4:07
telephone
4:08
the phone's still here and the skeleton
4:11
around it
4:12
but take a look here this is there's
4:13
nothing there
4:14
on the base of it
4:16
and made the commute over to the fenway
4:18
area parking is also very difficult in
4:20
this garage but managed to find a spot
4:23
55 yesterday was 60 for fourth of july
4:27
but today is only 55
4:28
and i think i'm going to put this jacket
4:30
on even though the sun's not going to be
4:31
out today later which i used yesterday
4:33
to kind of protect my neck and arms from
4:35
the sun but since it's kind of
4:37
sprinkling and raining i don't know how
4:38
the weather's going to be
4:40
and max is all
4:41
kind of decked out now not only with
4:44
cowbell max a little emblem there but
4:46
you're also putting on your your jersey
4:48
as well gotta button it up and we'll be
4:51
ready to go ready to rock let's do it
4:53
now yesterday when we were leaving we're
4:54
talking to one of the locals who go to a
4:56
lot of games here and he was saying you
4:58
know we should check out doing the red
5:00
sox nation club
5:02
and we ended up checking it out it was
5:03
19.99 a year
5:05
and it doesn't auto renew so at the end
5:07
of the year just 20
5:09
for the whole year you can get in an
5:10
hour earlier before everyone else and go
5:12
up to the green monster
5:14
and watch batting practice and then
5:15
you'll be one of the first ones in the
5:17
stadium when everyone else kind of like
5:19
congregates over here before the gates
5:21
open so i figured it was worth it plus
5:23
i'm sitting at the green monster too
5:24
after that even after batting practice
5:26
sitting in the green monster which is
5:28
gonna be awesome see who hops off this
5:30
player's bus this time
5:32
yesterday cash was the first one off but
5:34
i think he's already in there he walked
5:36
in a moment ago from the street
6:09
and now over to lansdowne street where
6:09
gate ceo will be able to go in it is 3
6:11
50 now at 4
6:14
30 i'll be able to go in
6:16
somewhere over here a little vendor
6:17
selling some bobbleheads this is pretty
6:19
interesting to see the stadium empty
6:21
like this now i did the tour the other
6:22
day and it was kind of empty in fact i
6:24
get to go on the field
6:26
as well like that but now i'm kind of
6:27
just walking through the concourses at
6:29
this moment this is certainly a time
6:31
period where i will be looking back on
6:34
these with great fondness and
6:36
appreciation that
6:37

6:52
a review team over there i just got to
6:54

relaxing over here
7:05
in this corner seat
7:07

7:48
i'm sure you always hear me out there
7:48
with two
7:58
stripes at the fellas out here playing
7:58
some hacky sack
8:01
okay this was probably the best twenty
8:02
dollars i ever spent

8:31
throwing yeah it's taylor out there and
8:33
pitino's batting
9:08
we were told not to reach over this
9:08
so if it hits here it's a home run but
9:11
if you reach over this they'll just get
9:12
carried do not lean over that and touch
9:15
and touch the ball or you will interfere
9:17
with gameplay
9:19
there it
9:20
is yes sir
9:26
zooming in on the granite city sign over
9:28
here because kier meyer

behind ray's dugout but look at how many
10:51
people are
10:52
selling items like all the vendors
10:54
walking through the aisles over there
10:56
there's a lot of yellow shirts up there
10:58
selling stuff and i will add in that
11:01
it's definitely nice not having
11:03
waited two minutes in line for food up
11:05
here because it's only only people that
11:07
are sitting up here can go over to that
11:08
area so that's pretty nice so three
11:10
minutes wait here for food how long did
11:11
you wait last night for food oh
11:14
that's
11:19
off the wall dude that was so close to
11:19
being gone
11:21
that was like two feet
11:28
how long did you wait last night for
11:30
food like freaking 25 minutes or so
11:34
like three minutes this time all right
11:36
got it got it
11:52
this is where that home run ball hit
11:52
bounce right here off and it went over
11:54
onto lansdowne

12:06

12:12
in the ground
12:20
also this foul pole out here very very
12:20
shallow homeless all the pink people
12:28

i would say just a little yeah how many
14:39
hits do they have tonight so far um
14:41
ray's have seven hits five runs had a
14:44

17:20
outfield is leaving
17:36

17:41
the ground screw is ready to get there
17:43
they're ready to rock brown screw
17:45
they're waiting for the call
17:47
i think they're gonna try to let them
17:48
play this happening
17:50
and then they're gonna put the card
17:52
all right take a look over there and
17:53
that little
17:54
alcove you just see all
17:57
of the grounds crew just waiting
18:00
yeah look at that you can really see it
18:01
coming down the lights right there
18:04
really see it coming out of the lights
18:07
it's gotta be effective
18:34
oh great play
18:36
oh we dropped it
18:38
he dropped it they got to call this game
18:40
it's too
18:42
that ball just slipped out of wander's
18:43
hand
18:44
trying to get the grasp on it was so wet
18:47
i'm just really amazed they have not the
18:49
rain delayed this yet
18:58
by this point of the game the snack bar
18:58
has stopped serving food so we have kind
19:00
of taken shelter
19:02
over here
19:03
a little bit you can still kind of see
19:05
this is kind of good there's a little
19:06
awning here these dogs are still
19:07
steaming in there still steaming some
19:09
dogs and going across
19:11
big poppy bridge over there which is
19:13
what it's really called
19:15
all those people exiting
19:17
in droves
19:22
look at that umbrella
19:22
holding on to us look at that
19:25
oh my gosh
19:33
there's a good perspective right there
19:33
kind of out of the elements
19:36
but kind of not
19:54
the red sox are up
19:54
two outs
19:56
full count
20:03
popped way up
20:03
i thought of fenway
20:04
i
20:22
the fenway faithful because maxwell
20:22
calls them
20:28
need this to go into the knife
20:28
shrug them out
20:30
i'm really thankful for this overhang
20:32
right here
20:39
i didn't realize you could bring an
20:39
umbrella brought their umbrellas in i
20:41
think it's coming down harder than it
20:42
has the whole time yeah it's coming down
20:45
double play ends the game home run
20:47
brings it within one oh that's in the
20:50
game that's a foul ball
20:55
that was on the line that was honestly
20:57
within a foot oh my that could have been
21:00
bad i gotta move back down into the rain
21:02
for this last out this is a historic
21:04
moment it's about to
