All right, welcome to Fountain City Metal Night.
Metal Night.
Spoiler alert, I don't metal.
We've got, uh, this is a third place game.
We've got Shane and Zach against...
Alex and Garrett.
Alex, this is, uh, Alex's first time down here.
Yeah, and I don't think he should be allowed back.
He's whooping everybody's butt.
He's kicking everybody's butt.
Garrett's in from school.
He's, uh, it's good to see him.
Yeah, that was a surprise.
But a good surprise.
So, here we are.
These bags are live.
The last one was a wash.
10-10 wash, and here we go.
They're playing much better than I played, too.
Yeah, I played like crap.
I did, too.
That's horrible.
A 10 on six.
Start to scorn.
I blame Wag, though.
Yeah, I blame Wag.
He's not here, so I'm blaming him.
Huh?
So, we're sitting here.
We're just trying to have a good time, and people are throwing over our heads.
It's a little distracting.
Yeah, and everybody's talking to us.
We've had a good turnout today.
We had, uh, what?
19.
And a ghost.
19 and a ghost.
So, it's good to see the crowd again.
Yeah.
Everybody was on a hiatus for some reason.
They're back.
But we were, we had a blast today.
It was a, it was a great turnout.
Great, great tournament.
No issues.
Some great throwers.
Got to see some good stuff.
But great shooting.
Not by me.
Yeah.
But great shooting.
Great shooting.
Again, not by me.
I did have a perfect game, though.
It was only four rounds.
Rub it in.
Yeah.
Who was that against again?
Probably me.
It was.
We're sitting five, five nothing, Alex and Gary.
Wag gave me a hiss cold, so I'm all congested.
I can't think clearly.
Eventually, Wag will make his appearance back to the tournaments on Fridays.
But right now, he's out there umpiring tournament baseball, playoff baseball.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
That's not like him.
No, not at all.
Bingo.
Nice shot.
What was that?
6-3.
All right, we got both teams on the scoreboard.
Nobody's on the track.
Yeah.
Shane with a level one walker.
I'm not surprised to see Shane in the medals.
No, definitely not.
He has been throwing lights out all night.
Yeah, he usually does.
The pairing was top middle, which was selected by the 10 seed.
Yeah.
They chose top middle.
I'm so surprised that I finally hit the wheel.
Like, holy crap, I forgot about that.
Yeah, I've never seen that one.
That's the first time I liked that.
I think he turned poorly.
Yeah, I don't think it was a wise choice.
He should have looked at the stats first.
He would have placed himself better.
Yeah, you gotta end for a wash.
He says he's gonna do something stupid.
Let's see, hold our breath.
Taking a chance.
Man, that was pretty stupid.
Sometimes you gotta see what works.
Obviously, I always look at everybody's stats before they start.
Alex was throwing like a 9.17 or a 9, over a 9.
And I was just like, oh my god, all right, this is gonna be a good day.
Is he local?
I think he rode with Ben Barron.
So that's like, here it is.
I think an hour and a half drive for that to come down here.
He's making it worth his while.
Yeah, so both these teams are in for a medal.
How much money are they gonna win?
That's true.
I don't care how little.
We got karaoke going on in the background, so you can hear it.
Oh, good push.
Which I think is cool to see father-son battle here.
Shane and Garrett.
There you go.
Shane and Zach are throwing the pro snipers.
And Zach and, or I'm sorry, Alex and Garrett are throwing, I don't, lucky charms.
Yeah, the lucky charms.
I don't know what they are, what those are.
They're herringbone, so they're slow.
Those pro snipers are just gonna go in the hole every single time.
Yeah.
Oh, except when you do that.
Nice collection, Garrett.
I wonder if Garrett's been playing while he's been at school.
While he's at school, yeah.
Dang.
We're not live.
It's just a recording.
He edits it.
He edits and does things to it.
So the questions are being asked on why, why we don't go live.
And it's because we, WAG does some, some editing for YouTube and some sponsors get in there.
Oh, there we go.
Social.
All right, here we go.
14-6.
Nice.
Yeah.
You gotta set that blocker with those pro snipers.
You gotta slow them down.
Oh, you gotta be able to collect.
I think I would, there you go.
I would stick this, stay on the sticky side and just throw it just a tad harder.
It's not a good run for Zach.
Nope.
There we go.
Oh, nine on three.
Put some on 20.
Wow, did not see that coming.
Yeah, it's a big jump.
That is a huge jump.
Especially when Alex is now the one shooting.
I think Alex is just going to put every bag in the hole and just give them right back.
Yeah, they're just going to go bag for bag.
These guys are good.
Yeah, you got two of the best.
That's the commentator jinx right there.
So there's your winner.
That's third place.
Your third place game.
Shane and Zach.
All right.
Now Alex and Garrett are on to the championship.
It's River and Cole.
Yeah, this will be good.
This is going to be good.
We're going to take a short break and we'll be right back.
All right, we're back in action.
This is the ship.
We got River Green and Cole Sanson on the king seat against Alex Gillian and Garrett Pope.
This is going to be a good match.
This will be a great match out.
Great players playing.
And this is for the gold medal.
Nobody cares about the money.
They just want the medal.
The medal is the most important thing.
No, River cares about the money.
He definitely cares about the money.
The last time River and Cole were teamed up, they didn't even place.
Yeah, it's redemption.
And Cole has been gone for a month.
He said literally has not played since last time he was here.
Yeah, he took some time off.
Did some, had some work thing.
So to make it to the ship, your first day back, staying good.
Yeah.
Sometimes taking that mental, that mental break.
Yeah.
Is really helpful.
Actually helps your game.
If I took a break for a month, I'd be starting from ground zero again.
I'd be like, teach me how to throw again.
How do I throw?
All right, well, we're sitting 4-0 right now.
I don't, I don't think this will be a 21-0.
No.
I actually thought we'd see a lot of washing in this.
I did think of doing some washes, but right now Garrett can just put it on for two.
There you go.
Interesting round.
Yeah.
Not characteristic of these guys.
I'm predicting a 12-12 wash right here.
Oh, okay.
You're all in.
Six.
Oh, well, that's gonna be a 12-10.
Let's go.
There it is.
Here we go.
You know River's gonna get his 12s.
Yeah.
That's for sure.
That was impressive.
Need a, need Cole to lock in here.
Yeah, he's gotta settle in.
Find his spot.
It's hard to get a read on River too.
You can't ever tell if he's frustrated or happy.
Yeah, that's why it's, that's why I'm a fan.
It's a great, great poker face for Cornhole.
That is why I'm a fan of River.
I love playing against him.
I love playing, you know, where he's across the board or next to me.
Just so I could, I just try and learn so much from him.
And, uh, yeah.
I put my emotions out for everybody to see.
Where are my emotions?
Everybody's gonna know what I'm feeling right now.
You can never tell on him.
He's gonna grab this.
No, we'll put him for an eight.
That's not like him.
There you go.
A little whirl reverse.
Tied up.
Here we go.
Keeping it tight.
I was confused there.
I don't know how that, how it was.
My math was off.
Math ain't mathin' to me.
Yeah, my math didn't math right there.
Opportunity for Cole.
Yeah.
Oh, another opportunity.
Another one.
Get those four back.
Gotta nail him.
Oh, wow.
He gets the one.
I really hope, uh, Alex comes, comes back again.
Because I like when these top guys come through here.
Yeah.
They, uh, they enhance everybody's game.
Well, and for, for our regular top-notch players,
it makes them really have to work a little harder.
Yeah.
Because some of us don't give them enough pressure.
They're like, uh.
It's like taking candy from a baby.
Then somebody else comes through and you're like,
oh, you're gonna make me work.
Okay.
That's not, River throwing.
Wow.
Throwing a six.
You don't see that very often.
Well, River is not throwing River's bags.
True.
You're throwing Cole's bag.
I bet if they lose this game, they switch bags.
Yeah.
River be like, yeah, bro, switching bags.
Unless Cole locks in.
That's what I'm predicting is going through River's head right now.
I want my 1839 bag right now.
I've thrown those bags at Cole's.
They're pretty slow.
They're very slow.
This is game one.
So River and Cole have to be double-dipped.
Yeah.
You like to not have to go that route.
It's usually not your game plan, but River can do some damage right here.
Yeah.
And get another miss.
He'll get those.
He's gonna get his two points back, hopefully.
Nope.
Spoke too soon.
Yeah.
Garrett's doing very well.
Yes, he has.
Right now.
He's at a seven, two, five.
Alex is at a 10.
Cole's at a seven and River's at a 9.2.
Dang.
So they're shooting competitive on each side.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's very even.
Very equal.
Oh, great shot by Cole.
His bag still fell, so he could grab this.
Yeah.
He could bring that bag in.
And he did.
Nice shooting.
Wash on 12s.
Let's see what we do here.
What's his plan?
In the hole?
River should try to roll.
He couldn't roll that bag.
Maybe he wanted a bag.
Well, maybe.
Let's see what he does right here.
He typically likes to roll over, though.
There's a roll.
Yeah.
See, those guys are struggling to roll for him.
That's a struggle.
Yeah.
I think he's gonna...
I don't know if you heard Cole.
It's wide open from here.
That means River's gonna shoot.
What's Alex gonna do?
I think Alex can do a push.
He might.
He sure might.
Nope.
He's going right at it.
He shot it.
It didn't fall.
That one is hanging, though.
It's really close.
All right.
If River shoots, that bag will fall, though.
Unless he clears the whole back.
Yeah.
Get the whole back side.
The word ACL on the back of the board.
That's what he needs to aim for.
To get that back side and just throw it back in.
And River can do it.
It's up.
Just like that.
But he did take it.
Did he take it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it didn't fall.
Oh, it did fall.
It's hanging.
Why is it hanging?
Now it fell.
Cleared up all that doubt.
Nice.
Very nice.
You get the one point.
Yeah.
All that work for one point.
That's what kills me, too.
You exhaust yourself for one point.
Sorry, though.
Lead bag.
Colton just has to find it.
He's kind of struggling with getting his throw back.
Yeah.
Throw it up there.
The reason I see why not change bags next game.
If you have to go the next game.
You got nothing to lose.
You're not throwing as good as you want with your own bags.
Go to River's bags.
You know he can throw his.
Sometimes I look this good.
I've never looked this good.
Not today.
He's going to get his one again.
Still gets his one.
Still gets one.
Colton just needs to relax.
Throw the bag in the hole.
Just get it up there.
No pressure.
There it is.
That's the Colton.
Nice and easy.
Garrett's going to clip it.
Yeah.
He's throwing so effortlessly.
Yeah.
Garrett is just smooth.
Snuck it in.
Oh, wow.
Those are beautiful shots.
That's game one.
All right.
We're going to roll right into game two.
Oh, and we're not going to change bags, huh?
River's not going to change bags.
This is a bold move, Colton.
It is bold.
Now we got a bathroom break.
Yeah.
We got a TV timeout.
This broadcast is brought to you by...
Terrible Karaoke.
Murdering the ghost of the song.
It's a good one.
Great movie.
Let's see here.
I'm very intrigued that River has not taken those bags off.
I'm surprised he didn't throw them at Cole and said,
we're done with these.
Screw these bags.
We're going somewhere else.
But here we go.
We're back in.
And we're live right here.
Here we go.
Winner take all.
Yeah.
This is for that gold medal that everybody wants.
Right.
They want the medal.
Cash is the bonus.
Medal matters because at the end of the year,
the person with the most medals will get a prize.
Oh, that's right.
I don't think anybody really knows that until we announce it.
Yeah, I put it out there, but not mass group announced it.
Maybe I should.
Maybe I'll push people to work a little harder.
Start coming a little more.
Be like, oh, I better show up on medal night.
Myself and Bud out of it this time and get some more people.
Yeah, get some other opportunities.
This is the last two medal nights I haven't made it.
I almost went a whole night without forgetting to turn the camera.
It's like a five on two.
It's not not a not a good round.
Oh, that pretty roll.
River's demeanor has changed.
Yeah, he is.
Yeah, not messing around.
Serious business.
He just got out of.
Yeah.
Bingo night.
And I bet.
Yeah, because it is in the way.
Yeah, you're going to take a look.
See if he's got room to shoot it.
He's going to go for it.
I wish I had the balls to do that.
I'd be like border.
Yeah, I'd say he's looking for a five spot here.
Yeah, he bought it.
I feel those pain, though, because I could not line it up tonight either.
I was off.
I did change bags like four times.
My partner and I just could not get on the same page.
I don't think people understand that either.
How hard it is to get paired up with somebody and compromise on a bag together.
Yeah, it's so tough.
It's really hard.
A random partner.
It's tough.
I mean, you got your great shooters who could shoot with anything.
But most of us, we have a preference.
10-7.
No, 10-4.
You all can see the PPRs.
River, he's on fire.
He's all business.
Yeah.
You're going to see River start throwing some lockers up here, trying to slow him down.
He's got to figure out how to get in Alex's way.
Alex is not stopping.
Yeah.
He needs to get in front of the hole and make Garrett take him with him.
Yeah.
Force Garrett to make some errors.
There you go.
That's the hole we know.
That's two.
Here we go, back up.
Our back all tied up.
There you go.
There's that block.
I knew it was coming.
Surprise.
I think so too.
Gave him bumpers.
Oh, it's stuck.
Well, he can flip it over and go right through.
Yeah.
You got to go past that.
That was not on the bingo card.
Oh.
I did not see that.
He's trying to go in without knocking him.
Oh, reverse cut.
Oh my god.
That was beautiful.
What a shot.
That's a great shot.
That was phenomenal.
That was insane.
There you go.
Very nice.
Oh, got me.
Try and roll.
That's all right.
Still got two.
Yeah.
All right.
We're back to the river show.
The river.
The river and Alex show.
Drifted too far.
Yeah.
Oh, he's going for it.
Well, he'll get that one.
Yeah, he brought that one back in.
Clogging it up.
He's going to roll with this.
Think so?
Roll.
It's up.
That's a good miss.
It is.
Well, if I'm not going to get it, I'm going to make it really hard for you.
Can you do the cut on the other side?
Oh, that's Cole helping out.
Cole's helping out.
I think off the back is good.
I would shoot this airmail and go off the back into the hallway.
Yeah.
You know what I'd do?
The front board.
Yes.
I'd get so nervous.
I'd front board.
I'd be like, just put it on the board.
But then I'd front board.
How I roll.
Oh.
That's not bad.
So we got a 12 on set.
That wasn't terrible.
That was nasty.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're threatening to throw chicken wings at each other.
It's gotten serious.
Oh.
I mean.
That was impressive.
Sitting on the fast side.
Yeah.
It's going to go in.
I think.
It's like that.
There it goes.
That's a good bag.
I would throw a slick side and go right through that.
Go right through the lucky tunnel.
Crease.
I'd go fast side right through that.
Yeah.
River's right.
Slick through this.
You don't have to throw it too hard either.
It's going to go.
Oh.
But it stayed on at least.
Yeah.
No hesitation and one.
Oh my god.
Wow.
All right.
We're sitting 16-12.
River cold.
This turned into the game that we thought it was going to be.
Yeah.
Battle of the bags.
We're going to see River collect too much.
He just has to go through it.
There we go.
Oh.
Sneaking in there.
You know he's going to.
Bingo.
The old sneaky sneak.
Oh.
Blocker.
Rally.
There you go.
That's all he needs.
See.
He should have just rolled it.
Right.
And not trying too hard.
Yeah.
Go for a roll.
Roll the hole.
I mean.
Or.
Or that.
Put this one in.
That actually.
That's not bad.
No.
You got to say it to air mail.
Or you just.
Lay it up.
Oh.
You only get one.
You get one point.
Yeah.
18-13.
Yeah.
And there it is.
Gonna block your block.
I think that was a back.
He was trying to roll.
Definitely see a roll on the next shot.
Yeah.
Rolled it in.
Couldn't do that gun to head.
Couldn't do it.
Oh.
Couldn't do that either.
Oh.
All right.
Well.
He's gonna grab that.
Yeah.
If he shoots it.
He could drag that bag in.
Well.
I mean he's sitting.
It's fives right here.
Yeah.
So.
A roll will win this game.
A roll in the hole.
He hasn't.
He doesn't need to really shoot it.
I think he's gonna roll.
Huh.
Because it still stays on the board.
Oh.
Roll got hung up.
Well.
Let's hope.
Maybe Cole can close it out right here.
Come on.
Go.
Right through it.
All right.
All you have to do is watch.
There you go.
There we go.
Put it in.
Nice.
In the hole.
There you go.
Nice.
Leave it to a river.
Give it back to a river.
Let the man do his thing.
I think he's prepared to be.
Oh.
100%.
The decision.
Maker of the game.
Yeah.
He wants it in his control.
His fate.
100%.
That's what you like.
When you get to that level.
Yeah.
You're that star.
Yeah.
Give me the best.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
He's so good at this.
There it is.
Oh my goodness.
Beautiful.
That's all right.
There you go.
Great match guys.
Took it all.
That was awesome to watch.
Yeah.
That was a great matchup.
All right.
See you next week.
Yeah.
Until next time.
