The aroma of smash burgers sizzling on the grill and the sound of laughter beneath the threat of rain set the stage for our latest episode, recorded live from the vibrant Bark in the Park event. As local tailgaters and podcasters unite to support Cleveland City Dogs, we join the fray, chatting with Tia Hilton about her dreams for Lorraine, and marveling at an ambulance turned mobile kitchen. Amidst the camaraderie, we're inspired by fellow podcasters to jazz up our recording setup—maybe even with a bolt-on stripper pole for that extra pizzazz.

This episode isn't just about the burgers and banter; it's a heartwarming mix of community spirit and dogged support for our four-legged friends. We find ourselves amidst a mini fiesta, engaging in light-hearted debates about music and brushing up against the controversies surrounding the King of Pop—all while laughing off technical hiccups and sharing unexpected joys. Alongside the humor, there's a touch of regret for not inviting friends like Brandon and my brother Angel to join in, but the raffle's draw and the growing crowd remind us there's always more fun to be had—especially if it's for a good paw-se.

Speaker 1:

All right, we're finally here at a live event. We've been talking about Top dog tailgating Bark in the Park for Cleveland City Dogs. Cleveland City Dogs is out here and we've got some multiple group of podcasters that are out here and a bunch of tailgaters that typically tailgate the Browns game but they like to catch one for the spring because they miss each other, I think. I mean, apparently they can't just go hang out at each other's house. They got to do another tailgate, right? Hey, whatever works, that ambulance is slick. Did you check it out? Oh, yeah, he's got. He never walked through it, never did. Yeah, it's badass. He said. He cut the top off of the ambulance and made it higher and put the hood.

Speaker 1:

And I mean, this guy isn't selling anything, so for no reason Other than he wants to like just make food For everybody and hang out. He has a freaking Whole Ambulance Turned into a commercial kitchen and it looks like it's done right. Oh, it's done right. Everything in it looks right. Yeah, I mean it's right, right. Not that he would have to, because I don't think if you're selling it, I don't think you have to go through the health department. That's very sad. He said I don't have permits or nothing. No, I don't think you need to. If you're not selling anything, they don't have permits or nothing. No, I don't think you need to if you're not selling anything. That's crazy, that's just, I don't know. That's wild to me that you would spend that money. I mean, I get it. People, that's their love, they like doing that shit, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And he's like, oh, his friend's helping him out, yeah, that's how he meets you as a friend. That's like the first question he asked me. He's like hey, you know how to cook. That's what he told me. I was like no, I don't know nothing about cooking. That ain't a lie. He's like he goes hey, don't you own a restaurant? Come back here. Hey, come back here. It's starting to turn out now. I didn't think it was going to happen, you know, oh no, but it started to turn out now. I didn't think it was going to happen, you know, oh no. Yeah. He said typically it's like 300, but he said, because of being like a little bit rain possibility, you know it's not going to get to those numbers, but he had 100 prepays up front.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you what a lot of people came up to me and they were very nice. Oh yeah, a great group of people Browns, talga, brandon should be here. Oh yeah, that's why I said I was surprised you didn't invite him. Well, I mean, I invited him. He listens to the podcast, so that means he's invited, right? I mean, if he's listening, right, yeah, but that's your family.

Speaker 1:

You should have called them. I should have called them maybe. Yeah, I probably could have done that. I guess that wouldn't have been bad. Tia said hi, tia, tia, the one we interviewed.

Speaker 1:

Tia Hilton, the one that's all in an uproar about everything. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the one that's trying to fix Lorraine? Yeah, she's going to fix it. She's going to fix it. Good luck with that. That. Lorraine needs a lot of fixing. Yeah, all you got to do to realize it is go out of Lorraine. Yeah, right, you get like yeah, well, you got to get pretty far out. At least you got to get to. That's why Tia knows she lives in Amherst, that's why she wants to fix Lorraine. She sees it and knows that's nice for her.

Speaker 1:

So, yeah, they got all kinds of free food here. They got hot dogs, smash burgers, corn holders, swing sets, chicken yeah, the chicken tacos Like four of them, four different types of chicken tacos. I went over there. Four different types of chicken tacos, like you just keep. I went over there, I was talking to him and he's like, hey, could you run these out over and put the tacos out? And I'm like sure, where do they go, you know? And he's like, oh no, walk them around to every single person and ask them if they want one. I was like I did it, I walked them all out and then I was like I'm going to go sit my happy ass down and wait for the taco guy to walk by me. How did you take two for me and one for you? They were little. Yeah, they were tiny tacos. They were just little ones. People are starting to come out. Yeah, they were tiny tacos, they were just little ones. Yeah, it's got a nice turnout coming on. Yeah, it's pretty wild.

Speaker 1:

We were talking with Burning River Sportscast. They're here, they got all kinds of cool equipment over there and shit, it's pretty wild. You taking your little notes. Yeah, I'm looking, I'm paying attention, you know. I mean they got some fancy shit, but they're dragging their studio shit out. We didn't do that, our studio stuff. I don't want to do that no more, because when we would, when we did that like downstairs days. It would take me days to fix it and correct things and I'm like fuck that, I'm not doing that. No more, we're gonna have a mobile setup at some point. I want to get a mobile setup. I mean it'll be cool to be in a trailer or something where you just roll up, plug it in and go to work like we do upstairs. You know that would be a badass shoot out in a parking lot with a stripper pole, put a stripper pole on the one end and it just bolts out. She can't do it. She's like watching, she's like filming.

Speaker 1:

Tipsy Film the dog. You film the dog. Tia, we are at WJ Green Lodge Park in Berea. It's for top Dog tailgating. It's a spring tailgating event for Brownsbackers. No dentist today. No dentist today. No dentist, it's fixed. It's fixed, fixed dentistry. But those guys were pretty cool.

Speaker 1:

I was checking out their equipment. They got a sponsor and shit Since they started. Our sponsor guys were pretty cool. I was checking out their equipment. They got a sponsor and shit since they started. Our sponsor sucks. I know. I mean you need it Brought to you by yeah, brought to you by Madhouse Bar and Grill. Our sponsors are cheap ass.

Speaker 1:

You see the equipment they got over there. I know I got my phone as my monitor. I'm looking at it. They shit is banging over there as my monitor. I'm looking at it, I see it, I see it. They look. They got all professional. These like little little, like microphone stands that come up that are like portable, and when they go get something to eat we go sit in their spot and turn everything on, start touching shit, see if we can fuck it up. Just go over there. You know you really want to fuck them up. Go over to that mixer and just turn like five knobs and then they'll have to try and figure out what was fucked up when they get back. Now. Them guys seem pretty cool. No, they did. They seem real cool. This is slick.

Speaker 1:

I was thinking, like with the sponsor thing, like how they got the sponsors going on. I was thinking about doing this. That's what we need to do, because before we were talking about doing a podcast when we did the beer Olympics. But if we're in it it ain't going to work. Maybe we should invite some other podcasters out to do it and maybe even like a Browns tailgate. Like, do a tailgating for it. That'd be bad, like do a tailgating for it? That would be badass. Do a tailgating event, do the sports? That would be badass. I say we challenge some of these podcasters. Yeah, that's not bad, that's pretty good.

Speaker 1:

Because you know why, because you see who his partner is. That's why they don't look like big drinkers either. We could beat them in corn cornhole. You don't know that. You'd be shocked. Oh yeah, you don't know.

Speaker 1:

You can't judge a guy.

Speaker 1:

Look at him and think, oh, he can't throw in cornhole.

Speaker 1:

I can't.

Speaker 1:

No, I know, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

You can't judge it.

Speaker 1:

You really can't. No, I really can't. And stevie, stevie, you wouldn't look at him and go, oh, cornhole champion, he's at the bar all the time. I mean he's at the bar all the time. I mean he's at the bar all the time. When's he playing all this cornhole that he knows how to play? That good, I don't know, because it ain't there and I don't see him in his backyard doing it. Where does he get all this practice? I don't know, but he's doing it. I don't get it either. I don't know. I don't understand that one. So you can't judge, you can't tell. There's no way to know.

Speaker 1:

See, he's going around with tacos right now. There, he is, right there. Take one. Yeah right, is that tacos? You only ate about eight of them. That's not true what I ate? Three and they're tiny. In the first 15 minutes we was here, I ate three. They're tiny too. They don't even count. That's really true. All eight of them was only two. They're half the size of our minis. When we sell three minis, they're half the size of that. So I mean that's got to be something right. I mean what the hell Tia wants to do my podcast for me? I don't get it. She's going to. Oh, she wants to do our podcast while we're doing it. So she wants to like come in and like commentate. Probably not. That's what we should do.

Speaker 1:

Horseshoe is better. Bring back horseshoes. Horseshoes is better. Horseshoes is never coming back One. They're dangerous.

Speaker 1:

If you're at a bar and you got horseshoes, you can fuck somebody up with that. You got them big spikes hanging out the ground and shit, yeah. But if you chucked a core shoe at somebody, you can fuck them up. You chuck a cornhole bag. It's probably just going to hurt a little bit. If you whizzed it even You'd have to really whizz it. You wouldn't even have to give an effort to hurt somebody with a. I mean you could accidentally hurt them on that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, what do you got Some hostile thoughts in your head, girl Trying to hurt people?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what is that? Yeah, what's wrong with you? Why are you trying to hurt people? Tia, what's that about? She's got that violence in her Violence. Yeah, she's got anger, anger issues, anger for sure she's got a. She's got to change the white line.

Speaker 1:

What's that what you do? Como esta? No, what is that called? God damn it. I'm from Lorraine. I say como esta. What is it? Amistay? That's it, amistay. She needs something. Yeah, that's what she needs to do. She put it down. That's cooler. Did you see the cooler? They got the beer in man, that thing looks like a mini car. How many beers do you think you could fit in that thing? Shit, I mean it's bigger than our beer coolers, bottle coolers out on the patio. Nine cases, nine to 12 cases, probably Way more than that. Our bottle cooler on the patio. I can put Nine of the double stack Plus the two, so I can put Like 19 cases in that bottle cooler and that's a lot bigger than the bottle cooler and it's just a cooler, like an ice cooler. It's way way bigger.

Speaker 1:

Amanda, make sure you get a picture of that when you're taking pictures. Get a picture of that when you're taking pictures. Get a picture of that cooler so we can post it. We should see if, like, have her sit on it. We'll take a picture so it'll show the size, yeah, so you can see the size. Yeah, or get the. Even the beer cans that are in it will tell you the dog. Nobody knows how big the dog is. The dog is a little tiny thing. You might have a little kiss mark on top of the man's.

Speaker 1:

Cooler. That's wrong. That's dirty. That's a dirty cooler. That is a dirty cooler. Tipsy, yeah, it's starting to really turn out over here. Huh, yeah, got a lot of people over here taking pictures.

Speaker 1:

The kid's playing cornhole, these guys over here doing their podcast over here. They're afraid it's going to blow away or something. What are they doing? It's tight, oh, they're coming. Is it raining? Oh, it's raining. Oh, we can't tell what we set up. Yeah, because we set up first. See what I said you can have all the equipment. That don't mean you can do anything with it. See, they got all the equipment and they're standing out in the rain doing the damn podcast. What's the matter with them? You don't do that. That's unacceptable. It'd be cool to hook up with them and do something. Yeah, they're cool as shit.

Speaker 1:

I like them and they seem like they've got a lot more Knowledge of it. I like them and they seem like they've got a lot more Knowledge of it. Yeah, but they've been doing it three years. They've been doing it three years. We just broke a year, right, right, yeah, yeah, we've just been in it a year. We're having some software issues.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if we're live right now or not. It seems like we aren't. I don't know if it is or not. Let me see here. Boom, boom, boom. It is connecting right now. Oh, I see what it was. Because the phone went off, because we're connected to the Wi-Fi on the phone and when I got a text it kind of threw us off, I guess.

Speaker 1:

What the hell? He got you for a minute. He did get me for a minute. He ain't going to get me no more. You better go set that shit on a table. People are hungry, they'll find it. That's all I'm saying. Oh, you know what? They got some Michael Jackson going in there. There you go. You got to love Michael. He ain't touching none of them, kids, I'm telling you. You keep saying that he didn't. Why. Why do you support him so strongly? Sure, let's have one. What do we got? I didn't catch your name, dan, dan.

Speaker 1:

Dan is the guy that's giving away the food, the tacos. Here they are right here we're doing tacos. Let's see what we got. What kind did we get? Cilantro lime chicken marinade. Cilantro lime lime chicken marinade. Cilantro lime chicken marinade. And then it's got a black bean rice with black beans. It's like a mini Chipotle for anybody who's looking. We just need some guac and some pico de gallo would be good. I have pico de gallo. Oh, we got pico de gallo, so we might be in business. Have you guys ever seen the ambulance that was converted into the Browns backer van that's always out at events and tailgating? That's who was just over here with the mini tacos. His name's Dan and his name is Dan.

Speaker 1:

Yes, tia, we're live. Oh delicious, so good. There goes my diet and you guys count them with me while he's on how many I eat on air, on air, on air, how many I eat. Ha ha, ha ha. It would still go, but when we first got here, we were setting up, so that's okay. I mean, that's pretty good, but it's really going pretty good now.

Speaker 1:

This place is cool, like if you ever wanted to do an event and you could rent this place. It's out the way. It's pretty nice. Yeah, it's nice. It's got the inside there with a kitchen, clean bathroom. There's a little hall in there. Yeah, they have a nice pavilion out here and you got all that field. They got volleyball net over there, right, volleyball. Yeah, this is cool. This is real cool.

Speaker 1:

Tia said he didn't diddy them kids. I'm pretty sure he diddy them kids. No, he didn't. I think he diddy the kids. Where do you want? Went to that. Yeah, this is good shit over here. I like it. I like it.

Speaker 1:

And all the proceeds I think all the food and everything is donated. All the proceeds go to the dogs. All the proceeds are going to. Yeah, they're all going to the city dogs in Cleveland. The bus over there, the nice bus over there how does that work. See, I'm horrible. I'm horrible with that stuff. It's not like me to donate to something like City Dogs, like for kids or something. I would be okay, but puppies and dogs, I'm not good about it, Even though I should, but I'm not good about it, even though I should, but I'm not good about it.

Speaker 1:

Unfortunate that somebody got these dogs and didn't take care of them and the city had to take them. You know what I mean. Right, right, uh-oh, there you go. Look at that, oh, look at that, look at that Service. We got Pico de Gallo right there. Now we got it set up. See that, he is the man over there.

Speaker 1:

Did you say where'd you say he was from? I didn't. Did he say he was from somewhere else and he was coming up? No, that was the guy that hosted. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I gotcha this thing. I guess it's pretty big. I think it's a lot bigger than I thought. He said it's a lot smaller than normal. No, no, yeah, he said it was a time of year, a little early for it. Well, this is their 12th annual, so they've been doing it a long time. Yeah, they've been doing it a while, so they've got a lot of experience with it.

Speaker 1:

You know what would really set this off as a Browns player and I bet you one would be interested in coming out. This would be a good place for a Browns player to come out to. I think a retired one, bernie yeah, like a Bernie, or actually it would be real nice. It would be like an up-and-comer. You know. Especially, do it right after the NFL draft. Get one of the new kids to come out and meet everybody. She's taking the whole dog. They're stealing my dog. Good, get over there. They're playing go-kid. Oh, okay, all right, give her some wipes. Give her some wipes. Gino said give her some wipes. Gino said give her some wipes. Can't take the dog without wipes. It's just the way it is. She's a big hit here. Kids were going crazy with that dog.

Speaker 1:

I don't ever pay attention to dogs, ever, and I know that this one's a fluffy Frenchie and they show me their hair and their hair and stuff and that's like. But to me it doesn't look like it's all that fluffy to me. You know what I mean. She's so young though, yeah, but immediately like that's the first thing someone said is that's a Frenchie? Why is it fuzzy, like they noticed? So it's definitely a Fluffy For sure. I just I don't know. Amanda's in here. Look at, she's over there living her best life. She's getting all the attention with the puppy Until she breaks out.

Speaker 1:

The wipers here watch this little trick. The dog does it lipsticks himself. I don't understand it. Ain't doing it, no more. What's that? It don't do that, no more. What's that?

Speaker 1:

When it goes rushing, I'm still wiping it. Yeah, but it's like one wipe. I'm still doing it, just because I started doing it. And then when I wipe it now to see if it's still doing it, it's dirty, so that's nasty and I don't want it on my shit. So I'm going to go ahead and keep wiping it, but it's one or two wipes. I can live with that. That's no big deal. You said it was horrible before. Oh, it was 20 wipes, dude, and I'm not even making that up. That's literally 20 baby wipes to get that little ass clean. It was ridiculous. That was not the top dog for sure. Thank you, is that where we're going to find him when you're done? All right, sounds good.

Speaker 1:

Who is this? Who's this guy who came in? Let's see what we got here. Local events, sports weather, exploration. Channel 13 News. What the hell is Channel 13 News. I have to go check that out. Channel 13? I don't know. No, channel 13. All right, all right, go right ahead. Channel 13 News Is that where he said we'll be able to find the pictures he took and stuff?

Speaker 1:

I guess Cleveland 13 News. He got a Coop jersey on. He's all right with me. All social platforms at Cleveland 13 News, at Cleveland 13 News. So is that just his website? Basically, is what it's called At Cleveland 13 News? Maybe it's 13. It's kind of confusing. 13. 13. I wonder what that is.

Speaker 1:

Wctu Real Public Community News. Real Public Community News, cleveland W. We'll have to check it out For anybody interested. We'll give them a barcode to take a check out. Right, you can scan the barcode or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You can scan the barcode and see if it's worth anything, or check it out. You still got people pouring in here. There you go. Yeah, they're loading it up right now.

Speaker 1:

No, he is rocking it though. He's rocking the shit out of it. He got it looking good. It's got a defense on him. We better leave him alone. It might be real, it could be. You don't know, I doubt it, though it could be. You don't know, I doubt it though. Defense yeah, it's getting pretty packed, pretty wild time, and that's cool.

Speaker 1:

I didn't even know you could come to the Metro Parks and drink beer, let alone give it away. Who knew? I'm glad I knew we should just throw our own event out here. Yeah, that's what I'm saying Do our own event. But I mean, this looks good and involved.

Speaker 1:

I think that my patrons at the bar would have appreciated the shit out of this if they would have came out. They would have loved it. This is cool. I mean, this is really cool, actually. And Brandon, this is right up his alley, right here. This has got his name written on it. You should call him and try to get him out of here. My brother too, angel, I should have.

Speaker 1:

I didn't even. I just assumed they listen and they check it out. So I don't know. Well, it's hard to believe some people don't listen to you. Who? That's what I was going to say. Yeah, that ain't true. I don't know what you're talking about. That was a stupid comment on my part. Everybody listens to us.

Speaker 1:

What's he doing? He's having a raffle. Is he doing a raffle? What's he raffling up A chain? What's he raffling up that chain? Is he trying to say here we go brownies, I don't know, but we're going to have to get off this and then we'll have to get back on. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Alright, we'll go find out what's going on.

Speaker 1:

Now that it's packed, you kind of want to check it out a little more. Yeah, I was sitting here like bored and now packed, you kind of want to check it out a little more. Huh, yeah, I was sitting here like bored and now people are here. Yeah, I want to go check it out.
