I think his third appearance on the program, but the first time here in
the news studio on Canal Street. Ricky Mapleton is here. How are you,
sir? Great to be here, Great to be here, Thank you,
wonderful to see you. You've got a fresh batch of tunes which were
which I've heard and I love them, even though the subject is not one
that I love. Ironically, that would be sports. That would be sports.
I am not a sports fan. Well, but I do enjoy the
songs. There's a lot of what would the word be irony perhaps, or
I'm not really poking fun at sports at the same time as poking fun at
sports, huh and praising sports. Yes, yes, all that they bring
to the tape. I feel the songs are celebratory in nature, Yes they
are not, but they are humorous in nature as well. And we did
play by the way earlier, we played one of your songs earlier in this
What's what's the actual title? Do you have any Zeppelin? Do you have
any Zeppelin albums? Yeah? I love that. Can you pull that mic
up a little bit? Do you have any Zeppelin album We're getting used to
that new set up here. Oh yeah, perfect, yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I still love that song. So tell tell the story of
a particular moment in time. Yeah. Yeah. Selling Zeppelin albums, it's
just the thing. If you have Zeppelin albums, you're sitting on fifty to
one hundred bucks. Wow, yes, really yeah, if you're sitting on
let's say the King and I you're sitting on nothing, right, as I
found out, all those Broadway plays and stuff would be worth some money right
the record. So it's like, can you just came to the point of
can you just take them? Right? Right? So back in the car
they went, and not to the dump I went because during the purging phase.
Yeah, so nobody has ever said do you have any the king and
I no. Okay, but if you sell albums, you know, or
if you if you know a little bit about vinyl classic vinyl rock albums,
there's some months that are worth a lot of money, and so yeah,
worth nothing, they won't even take them, right. That's of course you
have Zeppelin albums right right, you pull that mic up a bit more to
you, Yeah, get right on it. There you go, thank you.
We should uh, we should mention too. So the you've got,
well you've got a lot of music online at this point, Yes, thank
you, thank you. Three different three different artists. The timekeepers song for
every five minutes, right, that is surprisingly my biggest what would you say
streamed song? Is it? Yeah? Is that the correct terminology? Yeah,
if you would, that's what the kids say, you know, yeah,
but that's that's every a song for every five minutes and a song for
every day of the year. Okay, was is what sells the most because
it's the music isn't really fabulous, but I would say, but but it's
right to the point and as there was I think it was during the COVID
I wrote, yeah, every five minutes and yeah, but I'm more excited
about Screamo Sports Songs. Yes, Oh my god, now is this so?
Is this an album? That's yes, it's called scream O Sports Songs.
Maybe less under the Ricky Mapleton Galaxy of Stars. Do you know what
the Galaxy of Stars came from? No? Remember the the the album?
What was it? That thing you do? Oh? Yeah, yeah yeah,
and then he's like, you're under the Galaxy of Stars, right right?
Sorry, just flashing all over that's all right. Yeah, but Screamo
Sports Songs is I'm real excited about it. And I picture it being played
in stadiums in between like crazy train that would play some soccer chant song,
pickleball song. I'm excited to play these, Yes, so excited. Jonathan
F. George is in the Facebook live chat and says would love to hear
a song about pickleball. One Well, funny you should say that. Thanks
for what are they calling in there? They're they're in the Facebook Live Facebook
Live. Pickleball is the highlighted song on the that's thirty five track scream of
sports songs. There's thirty five tracks. Oh wow, I sent you what
I believe to be the premiere. Yes, but you could be wrong.
Axe throw isn't on. There is a big oh oh, there's just plenty
of throwing. Now you talking Viking language. Yes, well, that's the
reason I didn't put it on. It's a little slow, oh okay,
and it's a total I don't know, maybe, uh, but it's about
somebody going to an axe growing. Alcohol and ax throwing don't mix, right,
And I'm amazed that they have ax throwing in bars. That's mind blowing.
Then it's even a weak Yeah. Well, part of the song says
it clicks off something and hits them in the head and blood everywhere. Oh
my god. Well there is a lot that can go. Let's go pickle
ball in theory. All right, now, I'm gonna so we'll play this
and uh, you know, we'll play all the ones that you sent me.
I do love them, but uh, I do have a question though,
and forgive my ignorance, and the song doesn't really explain it, I
believe it or not. Maybe because I'm not particularly a sports fan, I
don't actually know what pickleball is. Okay, I did not know either,
really, all right. I don't feel quite so bad until I was walking
my dog and I went to the Rock Women I think they call it.
Yeah. I live kind of close to there, the middle the elementary schools
there, and used to have four tennis courts set up. Yeah, and
it has been a couple of years since I walked down there. And I
went down there last summer and I'm like, what the heck is this?
Is this what they call pickleball? And uh, now there's eight or ten
pickleballs in one area with a tennis courts. Okay, so in theory,
you get more bang for the buck, not as much running. Yeah,
And as you can see the pickleball that I brought in here, it's kind
of fun. I just started playing around with it. I gotta admit yesterday,
I'm sitting in my box since Christmas because I didn't want to open it
up until I came here. Oh wow, oh wow. But I should
have practiced. I was practicing out out here, So that's gonna be on
tape. Is that gonna be a problem. No, Now we're near the
couchow right now, we're yeah, we'll be okay, but what but what
is it like? Why is it called pickleball? I don't know. Okay,
I should have researched. Yeah, I'm just all I know. Is
not enough running? You don't have to run? Okay, got uh got
two bad knees. What am I to do? Bad hip orthopedic shoe?
Just want to go out and have some fun, some kind of sport.
Well, you don't have to run playing pickleball. And that's the exact hopefully
the first course. Let's play it out sided. This is this is the
premiere playing pickleball, the world Radio Premiere, World Radio Premiere. I am
not allowed to play pickleball in here? Is that correct? That is correct?
And can I can I hold up the paddle and do imaginary? You
can? Yes, that you can? Now this is a pickleball radio is
the this is so can we play Theater of the mind invisible pickleball? Okay?
I have imagination? I guess that's a great musician that you are.
I'm sure you do. Okay. So there are two types of pickleball,
which I didn't get into before the before I came on. There's wooden pickleball
nineteen ninety nine, Amazon Prime for four paddles, three balls. A belt
that I just had. There's a beautiful pickleball belt. Did you see that?
When I came in. Apparently there's a belt for pickleball, a belt,
and I wanted, yeah, I want to show that pickleball belt because
I'm been wearing it all morning. Wow. Yeah, because when I started,
but oh, you play pick a ball and he said no, never,
So so here's the belt okay. The belt, Oh, the belt
is where you put the ball. They get a black belt that's got some
like netting in it that you shoved belt and I fall into. And I
would just like to get a paddle holder too. The celebration of me being
able to I was worried when I got this. Yeah it was I've been
trying to lose some weight, okay, and I didn't think the pickleball belt
fit around my waist, but it does, it does. Yeah. So
my dream was playing pickleball in the old studio cool, playing pickleball right right,
running around that big studio right right, Well now we're yeah, we're
in a smaller room now, all right. So but I'm gonna act it
out. I'm gonna dict out too bad knees. What am I to do?
Bad hip orthopedic shoe. So it'll be like the macarena, but with
pickleball, Yes, very good. Yeah, yeah yeah. Radio is the
theater of the mind. Why don't other sports have belts? By the way,
wouldn't it be cool if, like any sport, like you just always
have a ball because you always have the belts, have a belt? Oh
yeah, you belt? Yeah, parallel there. You want to wear that
belt if you're gonna try and throw up six hundred pounds. But you would
think tennis players, I don't think the pickleball belt is meant to give you
probably probably not. No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't try it looks amazing,
it did fit. I did get it to snap. I did.
That's why I sucked it in a little bit. But so that's pickleball.
I think three or four pickleballs can go into one tennis court. Two pickleballs.
So is it like you play half and half? Like you can split
it to two different to have two games at the same time. You,
uh, the pickleball court is smaller than a tennis court by a third or
a half or fourth, I'm not sure. So you get more where the
where the four tennis skirts used to be. Now there's like ten or sixteen
pickleball courts. See I was right, multiple games, yes, so there's
a lot of games going on. And when I went there, I was
watching a lot of heads and they had a lot of let's say a former
premier athletes now in there, not saying senior years are more adult years,
and they were playing. There's not as much running, but they take it
very seriously. Is everyone is everyone required to have a belt? You know?
I didn't see anybody with a belt, okay, but it came with
the kit two belts, four balls, I think it's four paddles, and
I accept it there and I said, I'm gonna be on Matt Show.
I'm not gonna take this out. It was where the tree is, where
the tree used to be, sitting there looking at it, and yesterday I
opened it up. You should have done an unboxing video and put it on
YouTube. Those are big now what boxing videos? No? An unboxing on
video of you unboxing the pickleball. What if you did in reverse? I've
never seen someone do that. Put it didn't go back there? We go?
Well good, I tried to put it back in the box. Oh
it wouldn't. But it's a beautiful box, is it? As a guy
up there in nicely playing pickleball palm tree, Yeah, he's rarely enjoying his
pick good. Good. It could be your next pickleball sign instead of like
man in the box, that's the pickleball in the box, yell in the
buck. Well after after scream of sports songs takes over and the people are
demanding sports songs Part two. Yes we're there by the way. Jay Bellow
from Chasing the Devil says the world needs a pickleball song, and it now
has one. Well we're gonna I'm excited to hear this, all right,
yeah, all right, yeah, this is gonna be a big moment in
your life. You've got to go so here it is best best part here
it is. This is the world radio premiere from Ricky Mapleton. This is
called Pickleball, Got too Mas, one of mine to replacement on to go
out play ball, playing ball, go out and hit a fall kind of
black tennis. Just a little small. You'll think you're the can the card
when you're running around in your pickle ball shorts playing bigleball. Gray sad have
my lives playing big a boll lies. Go out and hit a fall kind
of black tennis. Just a little small. You'll think you're the can of
the card when you're running around and you're pickle ball shorts. Go out and
hit a fall kind of black tennis. Just a little small. You'll think
you're the can the card when you running around. That is the world radio
premiere. Well done, I'm done. Pickleball by Ricky Mapleton. Pickleball,
very nice. I just saw the best invisible pickle ball game of my life.
Thank you, Yes, very well. It's a tie game right now.
I'm a little from it. It's a very Yiddish sport. I think
pickle ball I think it could take over shuffle board. I don't know about
that. You don't think. I think it's gonna take a while, but
I think shuffleboard and pickleball will be neck and neck in the Senior Olympics.
Is that a thing? Well, pickleball, you know, I was very
serious. Now there are premiere athletes playing pickleball are the real ESPN four,
ESPN two believe I did see it. And of course, of course everybody
who's playing pickle ball is a knockout. Not your average pickleball player. You
look like they look like beach volleyball players. Brilliant. Come on, they
should have like a classification. You gotta be over to something to play professional
pickleball, right, yeah, I mean everything that rules. Well, I
think there is an actual pickleball committee Facebook page that goes that to one of
place at rock Women. Oh, I believe they have their own little society.
Oh wow, Oh yeah, there's a whole inner world of the pickleball
what they call it pickleball up there, pickleball leagues, Yes, committees do
they decide like what size the ball I want to be? You know how
that is regulated by the pickleball. There is a regulation, I believe.
So do people try and cheat? Are there on other balls that you can
fix? I don't know if my nineteen ninety nine set is an actual Oh
wait out, it felt great though the first time saying I get it.
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, because it doesn't like spring all over
the place, right, that's good? Yeah, because they need have to
chase it. Yeah, to chase a pickleball. Forget buddy, you're talking
about they're a Delia. I think pickleball, Deli and shuffle Boarder are the
shorts mandatory. That's not mandatory. But the song the pickleball shorts that I'm
wearing is the most ridiculous thing I could find. Did those come so?
No? No, no, this is not compet So what I'm wearing today
is the what I consider to be the recreational pickleball league. This is a
seventeen ninety five pants from Amazon. Okay, Stretche's just got bad. The
Amazon going to give you some money for this. I was bought it online
at a the shorts tear Iff had for a long time. These are the
official I knew it was getting old because it has like the little oh the
elastic band. Yeah, yeah, you're getting old because the elastic band is
gaping. Yes. Oh, So I did not know that there were some
pickleball shorts to wear here. And I spawned these like a week ago,
and I put them aside and I said, okay, I'm going to this
that I had it all planned out in my head, but I forgot to
put my head my headband. It came with a headband too. Oh really
yeah, oh nineteen ninety five. We're going to have more fun than the
kit that I got. I never would have. Now. What is the
difference between pickleball shorts and say, tennis short. I don't know. I
don't know if there is actually a pickleball short. Well, you were very
pacific specific. In my imaginational mind, it was like pickleball shorts it's going
to be now the ones that you see on ESPN with the premier athletes.
They're like skin tight and shown everything and stuff. A true pickleball short,
you want to cover up as much as you can while you're playing, right,
A true pickleball person just trying to get back out their play. Don't
have to run around much. Okay, I'm outside, I'm socializing. M
hm. They're gonna find some stuff that you have hidden in your house to
go out and play. Yeah, I think that could be a little connection
on pickleball too. I felt a little like there was some I don't know,
maybe my mind was scattered when I was when I made it to the
pickleball court, uh huh. The there was a lot of male and females,
and I felt that perhaps they were I don't know, maybe there was
a they were meeting each other there to socialize at the pickleball court, so
as well as playing pickleball, because there was a lot of people then it
was i'd say twenty people. So it's like a swinger's thing. Is that
what you're hinting? So I don't know about Yeah, well, it depends
what path of the mind you want to go down. I thought it was
very nice. Sold it's a sex cult, is what you're saying. No,
no, no, no, no, no, no no. I
think it's the place for people to go that used to play tennis and now
can't play tennis because you got bad feet, orthopedic shoe, bad hip.
So they shrunk it down. I don't know who has the rights to actual
pickleball. There's not like some giant jar. They put their pedals in and
they take a different pedal home. Oh my, this is going bad now
wow yeah yeah, yeah, but it was very nice to see people out
playing pickleball. Yes, and on the way home, I started humming playing
nickleball. Like then I caught up my friend. I got a great idea
for a new project. Let's do stuff about sports. Yeah, let's make
fun of it, but praise it at the same time. Now, the
friend that you worked on with us? Who is it? And is it
the individual who you brought the first time you were on the show? You
brought someone with you know, a different person who wants to remain anonymous,
who who I asked to call in? Yeah, request the song, but
yes, okay, and without this individual my use. You've heard music that
I've done by myself. Sometimes it's questionable, just background tracks just to get
some vocals over sure. On this particular project, what I'm really proud of
is the fact that it's actual musical. There is some musical backbe into it,
yeah, versus just crap that I'll just pop on more worried about getting
a whole bunch of recipe songs out than actually worrying about how they actually are
musically, right, right, Okay, So that's that's why I'm really pumped
about this. Yeah, yeah project, let's uh oh do you have to
go? Yeah? All right, I gotta get to work, Jesse Coff.
You have to hear the pickleball though. That that's I was waiting for
this, Yes, I was. I was talked. They talked you up
quite a bit while we were Yes, this is amazing. I'm like,
I definitely want to hear this because I'm I'm like Matt, I'm not a
big sports person. But if you can praise it and also make fun of
it at the same time, yeah, I can. I can appreciate the
comedic humor. Yeah, that's where That's where we're trying to go here with
because like I love comedic music. I'm like a big fan of like Bo
Burnham. You might might know him. He's in kind of realm, so
like sports, that is needed. Yeah, but hopefully it will get some
traction if I can find Oh yeah, definitely good. Say if you want
to inspire me some more, you can do one thing because being a bartender,
beer tender anywhere, there's always people that ask me like sports stuff,
play sports everything. They're asking me all these questions thinking I know stats and
everything, and my only cop out is I tell them my favorite team is
the Harlem glow Trotters and they usually get upset. You made a song about
that forever. That's a great idea. Uh, sports songs is getting ready?
Now we have a song. What was the other one? Pickleball Part
two Pickleball in a Box. Okay, that's two as writing itself right now,
there you go. I like this is brilliant. But who's who do
they play? The Generals played the Washington Generals all the time. Yeah,
that always loses to them. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, thank you
guys. All right, Jesse, thank you so much. All right,
Jesse coffee leaves us. Uh, great job today. And of course if
you missed it, Jesse was with us in the first hour and played live
sound amazing. Yeah, yeah, no, he's very talented. I think
we should play another track. What what should we go with next? Rick?
Well, much as I hate to leave the pickle ball behind, but
let's how how's your feelings about like sideline reporters or halftime reports? Can we
talk about that for a second. When I think of sideline reporters, I
think of I don't know her name, but the incident years ago, just
because it made the regular news about when Joe Namath was drunk and was hitting
aggressively hitting on a sideline reporter. Yes, but should we should we play
that sideline reporter? All right? Let's uh, let's see, so the
song might give us an idea of some of your feelings about them. Yes,
all right, intellectual answer, All right, here it is. This
is a sign Sideline reporter by the great Ricky Mapleton. Let's check this out
the place over. Let's go to the sideline reporter, talk to the athletes
why they try and catch their breath? What would we do without your insight,
your smile and face and set your bright light? One step away from
the announcers booth on the state away, and it's back to what would access
TV sideline fata sideline pata? Set it how with no help? Let's go
back a five lively PARTA of my gonna say that you don't know side like
reporter, side live reporter, coach, Do you think you're gonna have a
different strategy next half side like reporter side live reporters side like reporter, side
live reporter one step away from the announcers, boom one mistake away, and
it's back to what would Access TV sideline morta sideline partas how with no help?
Let's go back at five lively porter, What am I gonna say that
you don't know sideline reporter from what Joe Namath? What was her name?
She was like the first female sideline reporter. I don't I don't remember.
During the Howard Coast Cell days. Oh it was Howard Coast Cell, Don
Meredith. They were the Monday Night football team. Yeah, with Howard Cosell.
Monday Night football was huge. Oh yeah, and they had a female
sideline reporter, the first one that was big news. I don't remember her
name. She was an actress. Yeah, that was now the the Howard
Coast Cell that we hear in. That is that AI generated? That is
myself generated. Oh okay, so that was your Howard Cosell and press.
That's my how count sell pression. That's nice. That's pretty good. That's
the only impressure and I can do. Mohammed, I look good today.
That's good. That's really good. Jonathan F. George and the chat says
very catchy, very nice, very nice. Thank you. Hey. So
if you're just joining us, Ricky Mapleton is here with us? And why
is it so? The album is called Screamo scream O Sports Songs. Now
why why scream Oh because some listeners might not know what the term screamo means.
It's just a genre of music that I like to pick on. Yeah,
it's a great a true scream Oh if you look up scream oh the
stuff some most of it is very angry, sounds like they need counseling.
Yeah, they're very it's even set. It's emo. But with screaming,
it's it's not people in dorm rooms complaining about breakups. It's more people that's
emo, right, Yes, yeah, was just more aggressive. And I
really you know, being brought up on Sabbath and Aerosmith and Judas Priest and
then hearing the newer stuff alter Bridge or I don't even know what's happening now.
The stuff you were playing is just amazing. Okay, but that genre
I just love Metallica. Yeah, so I wanted to make jump into that
genre having on the Ricky Napleton nameplate just called Screamo sports songs. Yeah.
Yeah, So that's kind of about the concept of how we ran with this.
Now, do you have a Is there a particular because you said there's
thirty five songs, so is there a particular sport that is represented more than
others? Do you have a favorite? I'd like pickleball, soccer, chant
is really fun. Penalty shot is good. Yeah, penalty shot is probably
the heaviest of what we got on there. It has a totally different feel
for some reason. Yeah. Yeah, so a soccer chant is nice.
Yeah, that's about this. That's the ones I sent you. But you
can pick and choose. I wouldn't mind here in a quick soccer chant,
I don't that's I don't have that one. I did separate ones. Did
you get both? Oh? Maybe not? I sent you two separate messages.
I think soccer chant came over. She sent them to Oh I found
I think then I sent it to him after I think, oh, well,
because I was like, I send it to him too, so that
I found that two of us. He got four emails. I found it.
Yeah, that one little I was the little It was in the moment
getting it done over. That one was in a separate email. Okay,
yeah, well yeah, okay, so I found it. Let's let's do
a penalty shot or soccer champ soccer champ. Yeah, let's let's uh,
we'll play that one next. Very curious here, Oh yes, by all
means, yes, this is what I did today. I made a red
card so I could go red card, yellow card. So these cards are
things that are thrown down in soccer, right when you do something naughty.
In soccer, they give you a yellow card, which means bad boy,
or if you get a red card, that means you're out, okay,
like out of the game, to leave, or I don't know, I
don't know if you're escorted out of the building, or but it's bad okay,
right card, you're all done? Yellow card kind of, I don't
know. It was on the edge, baby, it's okay, don't kick
that guy in the head anymore. Yellow card, right, you did it
again? Red card, you're But there's all sorts of different there's all sorts
of different procedures. I believe that they go through that I don't know anything
about. But yeah, I understand there's a whole layer of this then and
the other thing. Okay, but this is what's going to be playing at
the World Cup. The chant, Oh, I thought you meant the song.
That's what's on the song. That is what's song. Here's my soccer
ball. Okay, I'm going to give to my dog after I'm done.
I'm gonna say that seems like a small that looks more like you know,
I don't have a big budget. You guys didn't give me a super big
budget to come there. So I when I went that when I went to
the store, you can only get the quarterball. These were a dollar twenty
five versus the five dollar ones. Yeah, we love you guys, but
I'm not for I got thirty five bucks or stuff here, because that that
soccer ball looks like we gave him too much money. You already you could
fit that in a belt. Well that was no, it would not fit
in the official soccer ball belt. Okay, okay, I'm right for soccer
chant. All right, here we go. This is soccer chant song.
Ricky Mapleton Boozo the fool boo boo boo boo boo boo boo bollue slinging on

I'm very proud of you. Thank you, thank you. I'm trying
to be good over here. Okay. So I'm trying to be a mencha
yeah, yeah, I and I apologize on the way in. I did
get myself a coffee and and the and the guilt part of me said,
whether I was driving out of it, I should have got those two mensis
to something that brought it into them. Oh, we become prepared. Okay.
But I'm just telling you I feel, I feel for you, and
I appreciate it. How about how about halftime report or penalty shot? Okay,
penalty shots is by I wanted to play that really wasn't on the list
to play. I don't know if I sent it over to you or not.
I don't have that one. Are these all on YouTube? Of course,
sir, I can find it really quickly. I am curious to hear
it after you were a penalty shot is good? Sideline reported good. I
really like all of these so you wrote them all? Well, there are
some. Do you ever write things you don't like? Yes? Yes,
no, not like say that could be done better? Okay? You know
all the ah coffee songs, positive, positive songs, things you shouldn't do.
The list goes on and on. Some of them. I do the
A personal mentor of mine, who is big believe I named is I've talked
about Matt Farley before. Yeah, twenty five thousand songs out, I always
he's He's the guy that I talked to him once a week and we just
talk about you know how interesting it is that we're sitting here talking about how
we're going to put in a sports song or what are we gonna call?
Is there gonna be coffee songs by Ricky Mapletons to one sugar? Anyways?
Did you did you find penalty sho? I did? I found it all
right, So penalty shot. I really appreciate your playing this. I feel
right in my wheelhouse as far as us down and dirty Bungeie's out. Yeah,
all right, I hope I built it up now it's gonna not be
good, but I'm very curious here. All right, you're here for hockey,
eh hockey town. Here penalty shot, stay down to take a shot,
hold one up to hit up, stack some down, snatchy down on
you? You gett yourself penalty shot, penalty shot test you. I'm getting
crowd. Then you go coming down your penalty shot. Sho, you got
yourself sh shock. All right, Well, now that one's my favorite.
Yeah, I thank you for finding that. I really it's it's uh.
I like the whole feel of that song. Yeah, yeah, no,
I like that too. What was the other one? Oh, halftime report?
You mentioned what else? We had to what else? What else?
Jumps out at you? Let's play that one because we were talking about Okay,
well, let me get my pad of paper out so I can pretend
I know I am in the halftime booth. So some of these songs go
into half time re fourt flag on the field armchair quarterback is very good.
I hope you have time to pop that in. That's one of my favorites.
That's what we all are. Oh, that's the first one I listened
to. Yeah, yeah, I'm scare quarterback. We'll have time. Yeah,
we'll get we'll get both of those. You know what we'll do just
to make sure we have time, We'll put we'll play those back to back.
I'll play a halftime report and then we'll go right to uh armchair quarterback.
All right, these are both These are both really good. Check these
out if you're just joining us. We have Ricky Maybelton with us in studio
here on Matt Connorton unleashed at WM and H ninety five point three f M
and alright, and Jen Jenny is here of course at the news table.
I am not accounted for. You're always you always are. She's keeping us
in line over here. That's right. Crack that whip. Yeah, boy,
I could have been in I really could have gone trouble. Uh huh.
See to me, this is a perfect dome for pickleballs flying off the
side of this You could see it. Well sure if it were empty,
it didn't have important equipment in it. If it were empty, it'd be
a perfect room for that. Yeah right, okay, I'll give you a
what form. All right, let's let's just give this a listen. This
is a halftime report from raft time report. We all love our halftime report
report. Here we go. Half time reports, half time report, half
time reports, half time report, halftime reports, halftime report, halftime reports,
half time report. There's only one team and they had more points.
They running to the looker room rule and disjoint the other team. They're not
in the lead. Someone tell me what they need. Halftime reports, halftime
reports, halftime reports, halftime reports, halftime reports, halftime reports, halftime
reports, half time reports. For twelve minutes, we go away. Old
us in the studio, talk about the play one used to be on my
favorite team. He took us in the championships and crushed our dreams. He
couldn't make the final run. Now he's on TV and he's making tati.
Halftime reports, halftime reports, halftime reports, half time reports, halftime reports,
halftime reports, halftime reports, half time reports. We watch replays from
around the league while the plays repair from their foote. Everyone says the same
thing in different ways. They all wish that they can sail play. Halftime
reports, halftime report, halftime reports, half time reports, halftime reports,
halftime report, halftime reports, half time reports. Now we go back to
the game. After twenty commercials for something Lame City and waiting, Oh,
never play already he knows they WoT get it away. Problem defense is only
he had his way. This coach is at time to give their key s.
The arm tair water back Water. He watches every game, knowing just
move to play for their losses. He shouts buyer of the losses by never
set up fights on a deal. Only ever played video games. His user
name is the armchair waterfat for the ball one, the receiver ball he plays
to laying that shutter to cross defensive lines. Always made the sounds. Everyone
chest listens to the arms chest quarterback, armchair quarterback, aren't we all?
Ricky Mapleton scream sports songs? Ricky Mapleton, very nice. You did not
say that's my favorite new song, So that did not make the it's not
the favorite new song. Then hard to top the penalty shots? Thank you?
Yeah? Okay, okay, okay. I like I like all of
these, I genuinely do, but it's hard to top the penalty shot.
Did that really get you? Yeah? Yeah, I think we tuned down
for that too. It sounded like it. Yeah, you got a little
more, a little more crunch if you would, are the solos yours?
No, that is the gentleman that I work with. Okay, he pretty
much he pretty much did all the producing. Oh really yeah, I played
some of my some bass work. Yeah, but he was very George Martin.
Okay for people that there was the Beatles producer, and that's kind of
what he He's a little type a yeah, which I need desperately in my
creative endeavor. Something say that horrible dude again is good, just keep things
moving along. So this is probably like a three four month project, working
on it probably once a week maybe. Once we got to about twenty twenty
five songs, we kind of let's just do ten more, let's just go
right. But the one of the first ones he did was Pickleball, and
that kind of like inspired us for the whole for the whole project. Yeah,
yeah, is that is that how you know him from playing pickleball?
Or No, I've known him for for for a long time. Okay,
okay quite some time. Are all the vocals you? Yes, you do
all the vocals? Well, thank you for calling him vocals. I know
where my pocket is. Yeah that you know, it's understood. Yeah,
And I know I'm not a great singer, but if I stay in a
particular no range. I don't think it sounds terrible and gets the point across
of the fun of the song right right for saying I can't sing. There
you go? But yeah, what what else? What else do you see
on it? That's interesting? Well, we'll play one. We have time,
we can play one more. Okay, we're we are. What about
a flag on the field? Oh well, okay, I did bring a
flag, did you. Well it's a it's a washcloth, okay, with
scrunchy around it. I believe, Okay, that probably counts. I mean
again, I don't know enough about sports. Oh perfect, come on,
we'll give this one. Can throw this? No, you cannot throw?
How about it? I just napped, pretend, pretending like a magic trick,
like it vanishes from your hand. Okay, there you go, all
right, flag on the field. It is flag on the field? Stop
me, jun play What just happened? It wasn't okay. The refs all
huddled while the fan stops a powder try to figure out what it's all about.
The coaches scream the sound that plays a song, the play that is
set. They swagged, they did nothing wrong. The head red walks up
to announce their faith. Fifty yards for holding a numbery the whole fence chair.
The awake coach cries, missus a sham fits a whole chest side.
The next play happens, my cable cuts out cash. You should up pay
my bills instead of gambeling all fow flying on the field. Stop me jump
playing, flying on the field, Stop me jump playing? Why go on
the field? Ricky Mapleton, I get penalized for that. No, it's
great, it's great. We gotta go, though, we are out of
time. Where do we find it? Where do we find all that YouTube?
Spotify YouTube is probably your well. You can go usually to get your
stuff for free with for Yeah. Yeah, it's under scream Oh sports songs.
