4. Detroit Story #1: The 'Drunk Driver' Shuttle Ride ([17:52]–[21:17])

• The family risks it all with a shuttle driver who blows through stop signs, runs red lights, and drives on the sidewalk to guarantee an on-time arrival at Comerica Park.

  • "When you ride with the Captain, anything can happen." — A (Raymundo, quoting the driver), [19:22]

5. Ballpark Adventures & the Atlanta Braves Game ([22:02]–[24:08])

6. Detroit Nightlife & Odd Encounters ([25:34]–[28:48])

• Postgame, Detroit’s revitalization-in-progress becomes a backdrop: torn-up streets, midnight ice cream at a dysfunctional shop, strip clubs behind the hotel, and a melting pot at the hotel itself (wedding parties, old-timers, and exhausted baseball fans).
• Notable Quote:
  • "You had the wedding party, you had Tigers drunk fans, and then you had...the retired community of Detroit. It was the weirdest mix of people." — A, [28:21]

7. Detroit Story #2: Legal Weed Culture ([30:26]–[34:18])

• Notable Quote:
  • "This crowd, I think, just does the legal drug, comes to the game and chills. I was unimpressed with the crowd." — A, [31:46]

8. Detroit Story #3: Hot Dog Line Drama ([34:33]–[38:44])

• Raymundo is blasted by a woman for ‘cutting’ in line to get his dad a hot dog — in a hilariously chill, disorganized queue.
• Notable Quote:
  • "You are so rude. You are so rude. That is so rude of you. I'm cut." — Unnamed lady, [37:26]
• He apologizes profusely, bewildered by the randomness and chill “line” culture fueled, he suspects, by legal weed.

9. Detroit Story #4: Boomer 'Got Shot' (By Flying Glass) ([40:26]–[44:00])

• The episode’s title story: While eating in the hotel lobby, the bartender drops a crate of wine, sending glass shards flying — one of which hits Boomer in the leg.
• No serious injuries (no blood), but the chaos is played for mock-serious drama (police tape, crime scene in the posh lobby).
• Memorable Quote:
  • "He was impaled. In Detroit." — A, [42:42]
  • "Out of all of us, it shot 20ft and hits Boomer." — A, [43:47]

10. Raymundo’s Verdict on Detroit ([44:09]–[48:56])

• The city feels half-revitalized, with “the ass torn out” of roads and massive construction in progress, especially in the fledgling Greektown area.
• Walking is a maze, back alleys by strip clubs more convenient than the streets themselves.
• Ray estimates the Greektown redesign won’t be ready “till 2029.”
• Homelessness and open drug selling are noted, with Ray reflecting on the prevalence of cheap booze bottles on the ground compared to other cities.
• Says the city was heavily policed but didn’t feel especially safe given the circumstances.
