No first stream yet so I’m watching last night’s MLB stream on Youtube:
-Forgot he was on the Pirates. No longer in the preseason: they’re in the “full season”, the “main season”. (Regular season.)
-Shuts down a song request. Doesn’t want to do a sing-a-thon like last time.
-Someone asks if there’s food he didn’t like as a kid, but now likes as an adult. Answer: seafood, certain vegetables.
-Someone asks what onions to use for a sauce. Phil says yellow are all-purpose, white is better quality but caramelizes differently, red onions are sweeter. And Phil says he knows because he cooks Italian food: he knows what’s good. Shallots? Phil: “Shallots are the same as green onions, right?” (They’re not.)
-Might eventually do a video of the sauce again. He and Kat “have really done different things to (their) sauce since (they) started making it together over a year ago and (they’ve) tweaked it a little bit.”
-Asked whether he thought about being a cook when he was younger because he sounds like an expert. (!) Phil laughs: no, not an expert, and no, never thought about being a cook because he was never a good cook.
-
Phil hits a soft liner headed to right. The second baseman was playing deep and takes a step before making a jumping catch. “Whaaat? Uh, that animation… he was completely facing the wrong way. He jumped up backward and somehow caught it with the animation they gave him.”
Phil still doesn’t believe after the replay. “WTF? Whaat? Who catches a baseball like that? WHO catches a baseball like that. Turning your back to the ball?”
-Followup to the cook question. Phil clarifies that he wanted to own and manage his own restaurant, not cook at his own restaurant. (“...guy behind the scenes, maybe responsible for some of the menu”) madara_is_god almost went to culinary school
-Asked what kind of restaurant. Thought about an Italian restaurant. Also got the idea to open a franchise from his dad. “...everything is already done for you… easiest way to do it… you’ll make tons of free money basically.”
-Favorite restaurant? “I don’t have a favorite restaurant. I don’t. I don’t like playing favorites.” (?) Doesn’t name them, but describes a few restaurants in his area: a Mexican place, an American one that serves rotisserie chicken, a ramen place. Phil also eloquently says that a few weeks ago he and Kat tried phở: “
..we tried PHAW! For the very first time we had fresh PHAW! Vietnamese... noodle dish!” Reiterates that he doesn’t play favorites.
-Maybe a troll tip wishing Phil well and hoping he and Kat can have honeymoon in Honduras. Phil: “I’m pretty sure the last place we’d want to go is Honduras.”
-Blue apron and similar services = too expensive
-
Robbed of a home run. Half-jokingly says Mets don't make plays like that. (The guy who made the catch is a former Gold Glove winner)
-Someone asks about visiting Seattle and says they don’t want to visit tourist traps like the Needle. Phil says he’s only been to touristy areas and the Needle is alright. He then starts to describe tourist trap sounding places, saying they're fun.
-Waiting to talk with webmaster about what happened with the poll results. (
“If all the votes were legit, which I know they’re not... if all the votes were legit apparently Spongebob was the winner… we have to double check all that and confirm that. Make sure it’s not falsified.”)
-As mentioned, starting to beg for tips for Marvel Ultimate Alliance. The week after that will be Wolfenstein: Youngblood
-Still doesn't know what a pitchout is, this despite being told several times by chat.
Runner on first: first pitch is a pitchout. "WTF? Did you see that? That was a wild throw. What the hell was he doing? What an asshole!"
-
Correctly guesses Noah Syndergaard’s nickname, Thor, based on name and appearance.
-Owns two pairs of sneakers: New Balance, which he’s worn for years because they help with his back, and Filas. “...alternate between them, that way neither pair gets SUPER worn out right away.” Only wears shoes twice a week, and only once (day off) for a significant amount of time.
-
Runners on 1st and 2nd. Phil hits a ball hard into right field for a base hit. Right fielder charges and throws all the way home -- no bounce -- which prevents the run from scoring and the challenge from being completed. Phil: “Why’d he throw home? Thats was weird.” Didn’t know what the challenge was; wasn’t paying attention.
-Didn’t see superblindman’s raid. (hehehe)
-
Phil hits a ball of the pitcher. "Oh, Jesus! Oh! I hit the pitcher! Dood, I hit him. I hit the pitcher right in the head. Did you see that? The ball hit him right in the head!"
No replay, but
the pitcher is raising his pitching arm, clearly checking his shoulder. Phil insists: "He got fucked up. I wanna see the replay. That shit hit him right in the face."
Aaand today's stream is live.
