  • Guy: Go! Go! S: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH HEEYYYYYYY I got a little cutie thing!!

  • S: So this team is called the Yakult Swallows because Yakult is a drink and you're supposed to swallow it

  • -Deep throats. because you have people that like try to give like anonymous information

  • S: So... in....

  • that... (crickets chirping)

  • Is an equiv...ah...

  • S: Go Swallows!

  • M: So if you come in here, you can bring in your own outside food and drink

  • So we brought in some High Balls

  • You can bring in beer or whatever and then they have a little cup station

  • Where they will pour your drinks into cups and then you can take it in a little paper cup fashion

  • M: You go to a game in North America, there's no way you're bringing in outside things

  • And then they'll charge you, like, 16 dollars for some skanky

  • M: No

  • S: If you were to think about what you should drink at a baseball game, would it be beer?

  • Super cheap tasting red wine, just the way I can afford it

  • This is but it's a pretty decent amount of beer

  • S: They poured it fresh from the keg that they carry on their back, up and down a hundred flights of stairs

  • This was 750 yen, which I would say is Roughly like seven or eight bucks or so

  • How much is beer when you're watching a sporting event, I don't know, but 750 seems not bad

  • M: Your umbrella's too big! S: Make it rain girl! Make it rain!!

  • M: So whenever the Swallows score, you have a little umbrella, and some of them have a little swallow, sparrow on it

  • and they have a little, like, Swallows dance

  • Which I don't understand but somebody let us borrow their little umbrella

  • This is such a lovely feeling.

  • S: So I didn't necessarily understand everyone's umbrellas

  • I just pulled out my umbrella, but everyone laughed at me because my umbrella was too big, and it wasn't the right colour

  • But you know what I show team spirit, Swallows all day every day

  • S: Be a Swallower for life!

  • S: Whoa! This is probably the closest I've ever sat to live fireworks

  • This is great
