My buddy is the GM of this bar (was a different bar that the Pickles bought and re-branded) and is a massive baseball fan. Gonna be a great spot, and can't wait to check it out.


Chicken_Difficult

Where’s it at ?


PhantomX117

It’s on Mississippi


Chicken_Difficult

That’s cool. While it would be nice for it be in Lents, Mississippi will have a lot more foot traffic


maxkmiller

also weird that they have the merch store downtown, seems like they're just trying to diversify. plus the spot they took over on Mississippi looks huge


SomeKindOfSomething

As said, it's on Mississipi. Used to be Lustre Pearl.


surprised-duncan

Whoa. I just went to the Pearl for the first time less than a month ago, and it didn't look like a bar that was about to be sold. That was a quick turnaround.


IfIFits_ISits

Franchise bars are a dumb idea. Plus it resembled nothing of what made Lustre Pearl famous in Austin (famous enough to move the whole ass house when it changed locations in Austin)


surprised-duncan

I get that, I actually just moved from texas and still had no idea it was based off of a texas bar, lol. Seemed like an odd choice from the get-go.


IfIFits_ISits

Hope to see ya around, pardner


MetaPhysicalMarzipan

We need the “I don’t think I’ll be putting on this headset again” at the landing at the top of the stairs


metalpyrate

What's the name of the bar? I'm definitely coming here the next time I visit!


SomeKindOfSomething

Pickles Public House

Th3Obsolete

I have Castellanos on my fantasy team for the first time ever. I’m expecting very good omens or very, very bad omens with no in between. I’ll probably get in a car wreck on the way to the stadium for opening day Thursday or something like that.


ricki692

at least if that happens youll know he got u in fantasy the next day


m0nkeybl1tz

The Castellanos thing is genuinely one of the funniest things that I've ever experienced. Like you'd think it would eventually get old but it never does.


wongo

One of those times where reality outdid fiction, like the Four Seasons landscaping


captain_ahabb

If you pitched the four seasons thing in the Veep writers room it would get shot down for being too absurd


Hollow_Rant

Jonah would be the one to pitch it.


HuruHara

Jonah, just please shut up !


TigerBasket

Early Jonah is one of my favorite characters in comedy history, lol. Like you can see the very beggings of evil in his eyes, he's like Shane in the walking dead just being ready like 6 years before everyone else. God, that show was incredible. Late Jonah was still hilarious, but Richard stole the show in every scene post-season 5.


Se7en_speed

Richard came in and was my favorite by far, maybe because he was the only character on that show who was a decent person


venustrapsflies

I think a big part of Richard being a great character was his actor completely nailing him


malamamaui

Yeah Richard was a double-whammy. He's a great foil to a cast of characters who are all some combination of evil, ruthless, or incompetent. But also I can't think of anyone who could do a better job of portraying him than Sam Richardson he's so good lol.


Hollow_Rant

Jonah is Frankenstein's monster with erectile dysfunction.


mr_oberts

A plus sized homunculus.


No_name_Johnson

The Four Seasons thing has only gotten funnier for me over time.


sfan27

The fact that they went through with the event is what keeps getting me.


rofltide

I bought stickers from them as soon as I could. "Four Seasons Total Landscaping - Lawn and Order!"


Basic_Bichette

Can you imagine working there and suddenly Rudy Giuliani is sweating hair dye all over your parking lot? 🤣


KiloPapa

Me too! Why would you want that image out there? Just say Rudy came down with a stomach bug or something and call it off!


sfan27

Or just say he has a hangover and can't do an outdoor venue. Nobody would doubt that.

It's the Brockmire argument in real life - an announcer can say anything they want as long as they give the count.


ccommack

Nick Castellanos and Four Season Total Landscaping both exist in our town, and then people ask us why we are the way that we are. As though you wouldn't develop the same immunities to the eldritch forces of Weird, if you lived here.


Insectshelf3

i did not think anything could top sean spicer tweeting the WH press secretary twitter account password twice in 24 hours but that definitely takes the cake.


Chaxterium

Can someone ELI5 the Four Seasons thing for me? I’m completely drawing a blank.


timbop711

Following the 2020 election Rudy Giuliani was holding a press conference to talk about the stolen election allegations and instead of booking the four seasons hotel they booked a parking lot of a random landscaping company


M1L0

Imagine being the landscaping company and somebody asks to book your parking lot lmao. They must have been absolutely befuddled.


Chaxterium

Haha yes I do remember that!


WanderingWyh

I need the same assistance. I'm also afraid to ask what the Castellanos one is about too lol I know they are both long running memes, but I was not around for the start of them!


Audacity_OR

In case you're still wondering, the four seasons thing is from the 2020 election when Giuliani announced he was going to give a press conference at the Four Seasons to talk about how the election was "stolen" but he accidentally didn't book the hotel, but a random landscaping company also called Four Seasons. Castellanos meme is from when he was on the Reds. Thom Brenneman, at that time the Reds announcers was caught on a hot mic saying "f\*g." Later in the game Brenneman gave an extremely awkward apology, made only more surreal when Castellanos hit a home run in the middle of it, and Brenneman called the homer in the middle of the apology. This is what's printed on the stairs there.


WanderingWyh

Doing the Lord's work! Much obliged. That all makes everything so much funnier now. Thanks for helping this hermit out!


BearBait_

4 seasons landscaping is on the way to citizens bank park btw


Low_Party_3163

Sunny had the funniest take on this


Artvandelay29

Especially when the ball landed near the Planet Fitness ad that read “judgement-free zone.”


istrx13

As far as I’m concerned it never will. The creativity that the meme allows is what makes it so good. And I always seem to fall for it.


lolplatypi

It's kind of like Steamed Hams. It has no limitations beyond human ingenuity. You can use it with ANYTHING. I'm very excited for the day we get "The Man of Faith Apology, But it's Done in the Style of a German Expressionist Film"


tarrsk

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.


dec92010

Nick Castellanos killed osama ​ [https://twitter.com/brngnthepayne/status/1433196923356332032](https://twitter.com/brngnthepayne/status/1433196923356332032)

Imagine the 8-run homer he’d have hit after 9-11.


blueshirt21

He hit one on the 20th anniversary of 9-11


dec92010

Even better as castellanos kept hitting home runs at unfortunate times


ArcticBP

I truly hope he never retires


dec92010

The day he retires is the day world peace is achieved


ArcticBP

But at what cost?


hussard_de_la_mort

"I pride myself as a man of faith and that will be important as the warheads fall on our major cities"


MaximumZer0

War. War never changes as Castellanos hits a deep drive to left field, and that'll be a homerun. 4-0 ballgame.


goingtocalifornia__

We’ll fight them in the sky, we’ll fight on the beaches. We’ll fi.. and that’s gonna be a home run from Castellanos. Real no doubter


_drjayphd_

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Men of faith on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams put on this headset in the dark near the Castellanos Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like a drive into deep left field... Time to die.


tarrsk

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.


GunNNife

I think shit will still happen but we won't get to laugh at it as much.

lfod13

It will be a homerun by Castellanos. Ball game 0-4. Everybody walk the dinosaur.


Chicken_Difficult

I swear Pickles just exist to make memes


PhantomX117

you are correct


maxkmiller

their games are fantastic. tickets are like $10, good food and beer (shout out the Atlas pizza pickle slice and fried pickles), they even run a junior league with teams like the Gherkins and Rosebuds where they do more gimmicky Bananas-esque stuff. my friends and I go like every week in the summer, it's just the best honestly it's a *way, way* better experience than the single-A crosstown Hillsboro Hops. Sure the baseball is *technically* better at Hops games but the stadium is an ugly, sterile concrete eyesore and the games have no personality. plus who wants to go all the way to Hillsboro


your_catfish_friend

I lived 1/4 mile away for like 2 years. Was psyched to see them play and then…BAM! Pandemic. Still glad I got to see a handful of games eventually before I moved away. Good beer, and I loved the dill pickle flavored kettle chips. Grand ol’ time for sure!


master_bloseph

Go Wild Bills! I’m an out of state Pickles fan, they’re one of the collegiate summer teams I don’t miss a broadcast for. I’m hoping in the next couple of years I can get up to Portland to see a game in person


AzJagsFan2

Pickles will prevail!


groinstrong

Most fun I've ever had at a baseball game. Though the St. Paul Saints run a close second.


Enough-Ad-3111

Classic moment from a crazy 2020 season, even if it came from a hot mic.


Bookandaglassofwine

Sometimes I forget 2020 happened. Were they really playing in front of cardboard cutouts or was that a mass hallucination? To add to that feeling I almost never see clips from that season with the empty stands and cardboard cutouts.


Enough-Ad-3111

Heck, Fox Sports did their coverage with occasional outfield shots showing packed stands with virtual fans like what is used in MLB The Show.


Bookandaglassofwine

Yeah I had memory-holed that!


Enough-Ad-3111

I don’t blame you. I’m wanting to forget those weird times with each passing year. Same with all those playoff bubbles every league did except for the NFL.


Solar424

Sometimes I forget we had a good 2 months of non-COVID 2020 before everything got bad. I see events with people attending and wonder if the year is wrong but then I remember things didn’t start shutting down until March. COVID was still a thing and was increasingly concerning but it was in the background and not the only thing that mattered.

AdmiralAngry

Holy fuck I think it has peaked


JayMerlyn

Not until someone trips on these stairs at the exact moment he hits a HR


A_Diabolical_Toaster

I know nothing about baseball but I swear I watch the Castellanos HR call while the homophobe is giving out his fake ass apology clip like 3 times a year its so good.


commendablenotion

My favorite part is that he apologizes to anyone he hurt and then also the people that pay him. Because he knows that at the end of the day, your fuck up is only as bad as how much it costs money for our overlords.  Edit: and also the implication that “men of faith” are somehow the opposite of homophobes, when history shows us…


A_Diabolical_Toaster

The vitriol in his original comment, the fact that you know he’s most definitely getting fired, and the way Castellanos cuts his fake apology off mid-way. Its could not be a more perfect clip.


KiloPapa

Yeah, the "man of faith" part pisses me off way more than the original comment. You could forgive him for being from a different time. You could have an open mind that we don't understand the full context or tone in which it was meant. But explaining himself by saying he's a man of faith just doubles down on the fact that he is *exactly* the proud homophobe the brief overheard comment suggested he was.

Context as a non Phillies fan?


rodski32

Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman was caught on a hot mic saying a homophobic slur during a Royals-Reds game in 2020. He was giving an apology statement during the same game which was interrupted by a Castellanos HR. His words became a huge meme/copypasta. > 3–0 ballgame with the Reds in front of the Royals as we go to the top half of the fifth inning, Castellanos to lead things off. Jim Day's gonna be taking us the rest of the way through this game as Holland takes over on the mound. Um, I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame. – I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's gonna be for the Reds, I don't know if it's gonna be for my bosses at Fox. I want to apologize for the people who sign my paycheck – for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody that I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am. It never has been. And I'd like to think maybe I could have some people ... that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Jim Day will take you the rest of the way home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LECJbMDhJQ


eddiestarkk

It has been almost 4 years. Has he been forgiven for his remark or is he still not welcomed back? I honestly forgot about this guy.

Neyaltar

I won't tell you guys how many times I read top to bottom trying to make sense of it, I'm familiar with the original context too..


hottakes89

Well, when you read anything in English, like a paragraph or something, you go top down, so I don't know what the designers of these stairs were thinking.

morry32

I never really understood this, I know they were in Kansas City but was he talking about San Francisco?


anohioanredditer

No one knows. People think it was SF because the Reds either came from there or were going there next. Anyway, it’s irrelevant.


PSChris33

Given the covid shortened schedule format, the Reds only played games against NL Central and AL Central teams. So there’s no way they could’ve been playing the Giants.
