Podcasts about Opening Day

Howie Rose's final Mets broadcast could be threatened by miserable weather, and Evan Roberts wants the franchise prepared to give the legendary voice a proper sendoff. From moving Sunday's game into a Saturday doubleheader to bringing Rose back for one final call on Opening Day next season, Evan, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate how the Mets can avoid an anticlimactic farewell. The Jets are also showing early signs that Aaron Glenn's demanding approach may be working. Demario Davis says the team's in-season practices are among the hardest he has experienced, fueling optimism about Glenn's defense and leadership. Plus, the guys marvel at Josh Allen playing through illness and question whether Tyrone Tracy's flu should keep him off the field Monday.

Women of Worship's Opening Day is a special kickoff event each year for our weekly Women's Bible Study. This day features a special GUEST SPEAKER, Childcare, and Luncheon afterwards. Be sure to RSVP for lunch and/or childcare by clicking HERE! GUEST SPEAKER this year is Mahsa Elyaar… a wife, a mother of three boys, and a follower of Jesus. She serves as a missionary with Prestoncrest, working with house churches and Christian leaders in Iran through church planting, discipleship, and leadership development. She and her husband Nathan live in Texas with their 3 sons. “Growing up in Iran and following Jesus in a challenging environment has deeply shaped my faith and my understanding of God's faithfulness. Through my years of ministry, I have had the privilege of walking alongside believers and seeing God transform lives through the Gospel. I am grateful for every opportunity to share what God has taught me through my journey and to encourage others in their faith and walk with Jesus.” Originally living in the Middle East, she and Nathan launched an internet ministry together and provided leadership and teachings to their local churches. Nathan served as the leader of churches in five cities. They planted one Arab church and one Persian church in Turkey. In 2017, they moved to the United States where they continued planting house churches in Iran over the internet. They have planted over 80 house churches in Iran and led hundreds of Iranians to be baptized. They also produced Bible video lessons that were published in social media and over the Farsi satellite Christian T.V channel with an average audience of one million.

In 190, the Philadelphia Athletics were bursting out of tiny Columbia Park — so owner Ben Shibe built the first concrete-and-steel ballpark in Major League history. But on Shibe Park's opening day in 1909, catcher Doc Powers collapsed with mysterious abdominal pain and was dead two weeks later. Jeff and Mark dig into the real medical story behind his death, bust the myths that have followed him for over a century, and trace Shibe Park's full run — from Ruth's Yankees debut and Ted Williams' .400 season, through Jackie Robinson's record-breaking Philadelphia crowd, all the way to a scoreboard literally catching fire mid-game.   Also in this episode: the guys break down the history of the "Maddux" (a complete-game shutout thrown on fewer than 100 pitches), a listener-submitted WAR showdown between the Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros' all-time position players, a new recurring segment pulling quiz questions straight from old episodes of This Week in Baseball, the tragic on-field death of Detroit Lions player Chuck Hughes, and another round of Wax Pack Heroes with a fresh batch of 1972 cards.   00:00 Show Intro and Banter 02:01 100 Loss Teams Trivia 04:35 What Is a Maddux 05:21 Famous Maddux Games 09:32 Listener WAR Showdown 14:38 This Week in Baseball Quiz 16:08 Chuck Hughes Tragedy 18:58 Shibe Park Origins 22:45 Building Shibe Park 29:43 Meet Doc Powers 31:25 Eddie Plank and Patience 32:52 Doc Powers Falls Ill 33:30 Misdiagnosis Turns Deadly 34:36 Surgery and Final Words 35:49 Myths About His Injury 38:19 Funeral and Benefit Day 40:39 Shibe Park Spite Fence 43:25 Famous Games at Shibe 46:51 Final Game and Demolition 47:46 Wax Pack Heroes Returns 01:02:01 TWIB Quiz answer and Signoff   Connect With Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise BlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Email: twostrikenoise@gmail.com    Don't let your common cards collect dust!

On this week's episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are back talking all things GW1 as the Premier League gets properly underway. Pete kicks things off by summarising his attendance at the Spurs v Brentford game, before the lads get sidetracked by the now-infamous Zante goalkeeper — who has apparently heard about the podcast and has sent a rather aggressive message Pete's way! Naturally, the boys decide there's only one thing to do… head to Zante and take him on themselves.The lads then get into the opening weekend of the Premier League, including the strange situation around Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa, with Sids sharing his own experience of knowing he was leaving Reading for Chelsea but continuing to play and train as normal. The conversation turns to whether players should ever take themselves out of the firing line when a transfer is on the cards, and how much physicality, hunger and desire now matter in the Premier League.Chris then tackles his own disastrous comedy attempts ahead of his forfeit, some questionable listener jokes, and the increasingly surreal experience of being recognised in public — including a very awkward airport encounter.Elsewhere, the lads debate who has the strangest pre-match traditions, discuss Peter's latest Paddy Power advert, and wonder which piece of football memorabilia could possibly beat Maradona's ‘Hand of God' ball.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 00:00 - Sids joins remotely03:20 - The lads debate the ultimate holiday beach: sand or stone06:01 - The infamous Zante goalkeeper is back — and she's heard the podcast08:05 - The Zante goalkeeper sends Crouch an aggressive message09:29 - The lads make a plan to take on the Zante goalkeeper11:02 - Premier League opening weekend and the Hull City fans “mauling” debate14:17 - Fans are asking referees for their yellow cards16:01 - Wolves, the Liquidator and the debate over swearing at football21:15 - The Ollie Watkins situation at Aston Villa gets serious22:20 - Crouch reveals what he did when Liverpool wanted him at Southampton24:18 - Should a player take themselves out of the firing line before a transfer?25:09 - Sids reveals how he handled his move to Chelsea28:40 - Was Crouchy “f***ing dog shit” on opening days?30:17 - Reading's incredible comeback after going 2-0 down on their Premier League debut32:06 - Crouchy remembers getting destroyed by Chelsea on the opening day35:09 - Newcastle and Liverpool pay tribute to a football legend36:14 - Chris prepares for his stand-up comedy debut38:14 - The lads attempt some truly questionable comedy41:01 - “Regards to your families” and the weirdness of being recognised42:40 - The most awkward fan encounter at the airport45:03 - Why the listeners' Instagram comments actually mean a lot47:13 - Who decides which football gets used in a friendly?49:58 - Maradona's Hand of God ball sells for £2.5m52:13 - Is there any piece of football memorabilia more valuable?53:38 - Crouchy stars in the new Paddy Power advert57:04 - Starky's “candle of hope” England tradition59:16 - Football League predictions and the lads' early-season scores1:00:00 - Aston Villa v Arsenal predictions1:00:47 - Chris considers outsourcing his predictions to the Zante goalkeeper1:02:23 - The Crouch Pod Bet Builder1:05:01 - Spurs v Newcastle predictions and Tottenham's worrying start1:06:09 - Can Spurs actually turn things around?1:07:21 - Final predictions, fishing plans and one last bit of chaos- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailNormally we'd all be sitting around the microphones, arguing over games, movies, roleplaying, and whatever other rabbit hole we decide to wander down. But this week... well... life got in the way in the best possible fashion.We went to Gen Con.You know, there are some places that just have an energy all their own. A baseball stadium on Opening Day. Walking into Disney for the first time. Maybe your favorite band's concert before the lights go down.Gen Con has that same feeling.But for many of us our favorite time isn't actually when the convention is packed.It's setup day.You walk through those giant convention center doors and everything is buzzing. Forklifts are backing up. Pallets of games are everywhere. Booths are half-built. Someone is hanging banners thirty feet in the air while somebody else is frantically looking for a roll of duct tape they swore they packed.The halls are busy...But they're not crowded.Not yet.That's the strange part.You've been here before. You know exactly what these halls are going to look like in less than twenty-four hours. Right now you can actually see the floors.Tomorrow...You won't.Tomorrow every aisle will be shoulder to shoulder with gamers, collectors, cosplayers, families, creators, publishers, artists, dice goblins, card sharks, miniature painters, and people carrying bags that somehow weigh more than they do.You know it's coming.And everyone setting up knows it's coming too.That's what makes setup day so fascinating.Every booth tells a story.Somebody spent years making the game sitting on that table.Someone mortgaged vacation time, emptied a savings account, drove across three states, or spent months designing artwork just hoping people will stop, smile, and say..."Tell me about your game."That's where we are this year.Over at the Oddfish Games booth we've got a whole table full of products we're proud of. Adventure Scents. How to RPG With Your Cat. Cooking with Dice. Radiance.And this year...Leviathan Rising.It's Christina Stiso's brand-new roleplaying game, and we've poured an incredible amount of time, creativity, testing, rewriting, and plain old worrying into getting it ready for people to experience.And that's the thing about Gen Con.Hope.Every publisher hopes people stop at their booth.Every game designer hopes someone sits down to play.Every artist hopes somebody notices their work.Every creator wonders..."Did we make something people are going to love?"You don't really know.You can playtest for months.You can have friends tell you it's great.You can polish every page until you're convinced you've found every typo.But none of that answers the only question that really matters.Will complete strangers care?That answer doesn't arrive until Thursday morning.Ten o'clock.The doors open.And then...It happens.Thousands...and I mean thousands...of gamers surge into the exhibit hall.They actually have a nickname for it.The Running of the Nerds.And I say that with absolute affection.It's glorious.People aren't running because they're escaping danger.They're running toward games.Toward their favorite publishers.Toward limited editions.Toward demos they've been waiting all year to play.Toward that one booth they've had circled on their map for six months.It's one of the happiest stampedes you'll ever witness.There's nothing quite like it.Because for four days, Indianapolis becomes the center of the gaming universe.Now, because Gen Con has a funny way of consuming every waking hour we had planned for recording, we didn't have time to put together a traditional episode this week.So instead...I grabbed a couple of microphones.I wandered the convention.I cornered my co-hosts.I talked with friends.I chatted with designers.I may have accidentally eavesdropped on a few conversations that were just too good not to share.What you're about to hear is Gen Con as it really happens.Not polished.Not scripted.Just real people experiencing one of the greatest gaming conventions on Earth.We're going behind the scenes.We're getting first impressions.We're talking to people while the excitement is still fresh.And that's where we're going to begin.Our first guest is someone pretty special to us.He had just finished playing one of the very first public games of Leviathan Rising.The dice had barely stopped rolling.The adrenaline was still there.The story was still unfolding in his mind.Before he had time to overthink anything, we handed him a microphone and simply asked..."So... what did you think?"Here's his immediate reaction, recorded just moments after the game ended.

Tom Barclay and Tom Allnutt pick the bones out of Spurs' awful opening-day defeat to Brentford in the Premier League and try to work out what went wrong. During recording Spurs confirmed the signing of Savinho - or ‘Savio' as he likes to be known - so the boys discuss what he can bring to the party, as well as the pursuits of Omar Marmoush and Cody Gakpo. The two Toms also look ahead to the Carabao Cup clash with Charlton Athletic. #tottenhamhotspur #spurs #tottenham #coys #thfc #robertodezerbi #codygakpo #lucasbergvall #savinho #mikeymoore #mathystel #jamesmaddison #mohammedkudus #pedroporro #mickyvandeven #archiegray #richarlison #brentfordfc #charltonathletic #premierleague #football #soccer #footballpodcast #soccerpodcast #sport #thetottenhamway #newepisode #opinion #reaction #sport #sportpodcast #transfers #transferwindow Learn more about your ad choices.

The vibes are officially back at Chelsea. A 3-2 opening day win over Fulham delivered everything a season opener should — Joao Pedro on the scoresheet after just 32 seconds, Cole Palmer looking like the player everyone fell in love with, and Morgan Rogers marking his Chelsea debut with a goal that immediately justified the record fee. Simon and Manny are buzzing, and rightly so.The hosts break down a hugely encouraging first look at Xabi Alonso's Chelsea, singling out Maxence Lacroix for particular praise after a superb debut that delivered both a brilliant assist and the kind of composed, no-nonsense defending this back line has been crying out for. If that is the standard, Chelsea have found something special.But it was not all perfect. Three points cannot paper over a shaky display from Robert Sanchez, and Simon and Manny ask the question that will not go away — do Chelsea need a new goalkeeper? Is Sanchez the single biggest obstacle standing between this squad and a genuine title challenge? It is an honest and uncomfortable conversation that needs to be had before the window closes.Speaking of which, the Enzo Fernandez saga rumbles into its final week with no resolution in sight. Will he still be a Chelsea player when the window slams shut? Simon and Manny give their verdict, before looking ahead to Luton in the Carabao Cup and a chance for Alonso to build momentum early.

A podcast about a podcast about one of the strangest sports scandals of the modern era. Brian Beckner welcomes back Reality Steve and Jason Stewart for a special Baller Lifestyle Podcast crossover dedicated to the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani. The guys go deep on the unbelievable story of Ippéi Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter and trusted intermediary, who was ultimately accused of stealing approximately $17 million from Ohtani while accumulating enormous gambling debts. The central question: Did Shohei Ohtani really know nothing about it? Coming into the podcast, the guys had very different theories. Reality Steve was torn between the possibility that Mizuhara initially told the truth and the possibility that Ohtani genuinely had no idea what was happening. Jason Stewart entered firmly in the conspiracy/fall-guy camp. Brian was somewhere in between. After listening to the full story, however, the evidence presented in the 30 for 30 dramatically changed the conversation. The guys examine the three major possibilities surrounding the scandal: Ohtani was secretly involved in the gambling. Mizuhara gambled, lost millions, and Ohtani knowingly bailed him out. Mizuhara was secretly stealing from Ohtani, while Ohtani had absolutely no idea. The discussion dives into the evidence supporting the third scenario — including the enormous volume of communications investigators reviewed without finding evidence of gambling conversations between Ohtani and Mizuhara. But the guys aren't willing to completely let Ohtani off the hook. How can one of the richest and most famous athletes on Earth fail to notice $17 million disappearing from his own bank account? The answer may have more to do with Ohtani's unusual lifestyle, his dependence on other people, his limited English-language communication, and his extraordinary level of wealth than most people realize. The guys also explore Mizuhara's increasingly bizarre behavior, including his deception about his background, his relationship with Ohtani, his interactions with bookmaker Mathew Boyer, the enormous volume of bets placed, and the shocking story involving Ohtani's money and dental work. They also question why Boyer received a dramatically shorter sentence than Mizuhara and discuss how federal cooperation agreements can change the outcome of criminal cases. And then there's the biggest "what if?" of all: What happens if the federal government never catches Boyer? Would Mizuhara still be stealing from Ohtani today? The episode also explores one of the most revealing details from the documentary: Ohtani's description of Mizuhara not necessarily as a best friend, but as a business partner. That distinction changes the entire way the relationship can be viewed. Approximate Timestamps Note: The uploaded source is a transcript rather than an audio file, so these are suggested editorial timestamps based on the sequence and relative length of the discussion. 00:00 — Welcome to the Special Bonus Episode Brian introduces the special Baller Lifestyle Podcast episode. Reality Steve joins the show. Jason Stewart returns as the "Stu Gatz's favorite producer." Why this episode is different from the normal Baller Lifestyle format. 03:00 — The First-Ever Baller Lifestyle / Reality Steve Crossover Reality Steve explains why he wanted the episode on his own feed. The guys joke about doing a "podcast about a podcast." Why the Shohei Ohtani story was perfect for a baseball-focused crossover. 06:00 — What Did Everyone Believe Before Listening? Brian's initial impression of Ippéi Mizuhara. Reality Steve's three possible theories. Was Ohtani gambling? Did Ohtani knowingly pay Mizuhara's gambling debts? Or was Mizuhara secretly stealing from him? 10:00 — The $17 Million Question How does someone steal approximately $17 million from one of the world's richest athletes? Why Ohtani may genuinely not have noticed. Ohtani's extraordinary wealth and unusual lifestyle. The idea that he may have essentially never needed to monitor his own bank accounts. 14:00 — Jason Stewart's Fall-Guy Theory Why Jason initially believed Mizuhara was taking the fall. Why the conspiracy theory was more entertaining than the actual explanation. Comparisons to other famous sports scandals. Why the evidence eventually changed Jason's mind. 18:00 — 19,000 Bets and $325 Million in Action The staggering volume of Mizuhara's gambling. More than $300 million in total bets. Approximately $142 million in winning bets. Approximately $182.9 million in losing bets. The resulting roughly $41 million net gambling loss. How someone could gamble at that scale and continue getting credit. 23:00 — The Bookmaker Mathew Boyer Reality Steve explains the betting numbers. Why Boyer kept increasing Mizuhara's credit. The importance of Mizuhara's connection to Ohtani. How much did Boyer actually know about his client's finances? The enormous amount of money moving through the operation. 27:00 — The $500-a-Week Problem Mizuhara's claims about how much Ohtani paid him. Why the guys immediately questioned the number. What Mizuhara actually did for Ohtani on a daily basis. Driver, personal assistant, translator, errands and more. Why the story didn't seem to add up. 31:00 — The FBI Investigation What federal investigators actually examined. Thousands of pages of communications. The surprising absence of gambling conversations between Ohtani and Mizuhara. Why that evidence dramatically changed the guys' opinions. 35:00 — Was Shohei Really Completely Clueless? Jason explains why he still had doubts. Why the absence of gambling conversations initially seemed suspicious. Could Ohtani have used Mizuhara as a buffer? Why the guys ultimately lean toward Ohtani being unaware. 39:00 — Ohtani's Extraordinary Dependence on Other People Ohtani's limited English. His dependence on agents, bankers, interpreters and other representatives. Why the guys think Ohtani may have been unusually insulated from everyday life. The theory that Ohtani has simply never had to handle normal financial responsibilities. 43:00 — The Dental Work Scam The shocking $60,000 dental story. Mizuhara receives money for dental treatment. What allegedly happened to the money. How the guys view this as another example of Mizuhara's willingness to exploit Ohtani. 47:00 — What If the FBI Never Caught Boyer? How the entire scandal came to light. The federal investigation was focused on Boyer. What could have happened if investigators never uncovered the connection to Ohtani? Would Mizuhara still be stealing from Ohtani? Reality Steve's theory that Ohtani might eventually have discovered everything privately. 51:00 — The Original Story Mizuhara Told ESPN Mizuhara initially claimed Ohtani knew about his gambling. The original explanation for the money transfers. Why Mizuhara's story completely changed.

Mizuhara's explanation of what he had told the team. Ohtani asking what had been said. The surreal nature of the situation. 59:00 — Could Ohtani Have Been Suspended? Reality Steve poses the hypothetical: What if the original story had been true? What if Ohtani knowingly paid off Mizuhara's illegal gambling debt? What would Major League Baseball have done? The difference between gambling himself and helping a friend pay a debt. Pete Rose and the Astros enter the discussion. 1:05:00 — MLB, Gambling & the Changing Sports Landscape How professional sports' relationship with gambling has changed. Pete Rose's precedent. The Astros' cheating scandal. Modern sports betting controversies. Why punishment for gambling-related behavior has become increasingly complicated. 1:10:00 — Was Mizuhara Really Ohtani's Best Friend? The guys challenge the public perception of their relationship. Ohtani reportedly referring to Mizuhara more as a business partner than a close friend. How Mizuhara may have cultivated the image that they were essentially brothers. Ohtani's language barrier and how it affected that perception. 1:15:00 — Mizuhara's Sentencing vs. Boyer's Mizuhara receives 57 months. Boyer receives only five months. Why the sentencing disparity surprises the guys. Federal cooperation agreements. The guys compare Boyer's situation to other famous criminal cases. 1:20:00 — What Does Boyer Know?

The conversation turns to international baseball and MLB's overseas strategy. 1:37:00 — Should MLB Start the Season Overseas? The guys revisit MLB's decision to open the season in Korea. Why Brian thinks regular-season games should begin in the United States. Growing baseball internationally versus inconveniencing American viewers. Why exhibition games might accomplish the same goal. 1:42:00 — NFL Games Overseas The NFL's increasingly aggressive international strategy. Games in Australia and other international locations. The guys joke about how far the NFL will go to test the limits of its audience. Streaming and unusual kickoff times. 1:46:00 — Reality Steve's NFL Survivor Pool Reality Steve discusses his 2026 NFL Survivor Pool. Entry fee and contest structure. The Reality Steve Survivor Contest on Splash Sports. Why Survivor pools can be so much fun — and so frustrating.

Diamond Bar High School. The legendary basketball game against Los Alamitos. Brian's 24-point performance and six three-pointers. A young Keith Van Horn on the opposing team.

Jason's memories of Majerus. The legendary Krispy Kreme story. A brief detour into Majerus lore. 2:01:00 — Final Thoughts on The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani The guys recap what they learned. Why the 30 for 30 podcast changed their opinions. Why Mizuhara increasingly appears to have acted alone. Why Ohtani's financial naivete remains the most unbelievable part of the story. The unanswered questions that remain. 2:04:00 — Wrap-Up Brian thanks Reality Steve and Jason Stewart. Discussion of doing another crossover episode. Final plugs and sign-off. TBLS. Key Takeaways The Three Theories The episode revolves around three possible explanations for the scandal: Ohtani was secretly gambling himself. Ohtani knew Mizuhara was gambling and knowingly paid his debts. Mizuhara secretly stole from Ohtani without his knowledge. After reviewing the evidence presented in the ESPN podcast, the panel largely moves toward the third explanation. The Scale of the Gambling Mizuhara's gambling activity was enormous: Roughly 19,000 bets Approximately $325 million in total wagers About $142 million in winning bets About $182.9 million in losing bets Roughly $41 million net losses The scale of the operation becomes one of the most astonishing aspects of the entire story. ️ The Communication Evidence One of the most important points discussed is the federal investigation's review of thousands of pages of communications between Ohtani and Mizuhara. The guys focus heavily on the fact that the investigation reportedly did not uncover conversations between the two directly discussing gambling. For Jason in particular, this becomes a major reason to reconsider the original fall-guy theory. How Could Ohtani Not Know? The panel's explanation is that Ohtani's extraordinary wealth and insulated lifestyle may have made it possible for him to remain completely unaware of the missing money. The guys discuss how Ohtani delegated virtually every aspect of his day-to-day life to other people — making Mizuhara's position of trust extraordinarily powerful. Mizuhara's Deception The episode portrays Mizuhara as someone who repeatedly manipulated people around him, fabricated elements of his background and cultivated a much closer public relationship with Ohtani than Ohtani himself may have considered accurate. The guys particularly focus on the contrast between the public perception of them as best friends and Ohtani's description of Mizuhara as more of a business partner. ️ The Sentencing Question Another major unanswered question is why Mizuhara received a dramatically longer sentence than bookmaker Mathew Boyer. The guys discuss how cooperation with federal investigators can produce dramatically different sentencing outcomes — and speculate about what information Boyer may have provided. The Biggest "What If?" The biggest hypothetical of the episode: What if the federal government never investigated Boyer? The guys debate whether Mizuhara would have continued stealing from Ohtani until he eventually ran out of money, got caught by Ohtani himself, or somehow managed to keep the scheme going. Most Shocking Moments Approximately $17 million allegedly stolen from Shohei Ohtani. Nearly 19,000 gambling bets. Approximately $325 million wagered. Mizuhara's reported losses exceeding $40 million. The absence of gambling discussions in thousands of pages of communications between Ohtani and Mizuhara. Ohtani allegedly being the last person to learn what Mizuhara had told the Dodgers. The bizarre $60,000 dental-work story. Mizuhara's original claim that Ohtani knowingly paid his gambling debts. The dramatic reversal of that story. Mizuhara receiving 57 months compared with Boyer's five months. The possibility that Ohtani genuinely never noticed millions disappearing from his accounts. Ohtani's ability to produce an historic season while the scandal exploded around him.

Rather than simply recap the ESPN documentary, the guys debate the evidence, challenge each other's theories and ask the questions they felt the original podcast left unanswered. It's part sports documentary breakdown, part true-crime discussion, part gambling conversation and part completely unhinged Baller Lifestyle detour.
