GK: ……after a message from Babes - (NEW AGE PIANO)

TR: Used to hanging out in sports bars and then, one night I looked around and the guys screaming at the TV screen, it was just too crazy. The testosterone level was toxic. Borderline psychotic. Plus major hearing loss. So---- I came to Babes instead. The sports bar for women, but you can come in if a woman brings you and you behave yourself. Six giant screens. Figure skating, ladies golf, the WNBA, volleyball, field hockey, equestrian sports, and everyone has a good time, win or lose, because there's a supportive, noncompetitive atmosphere. (SS: Pull up a wicker chair, gymnastics is about to start! (SS & FN: GIRL SQUEALS). There's kiwi punch and mulled wine and the apple martinis are yummy.

SS: And always lots of chocolate!

TRL: And everyone is pretty. So you sit and cheer-cheer-cheer for the home team….and afterwards, a big hug because everyone is special in his own way. At Babes.

SS: Every Tuesday is PMS night. Free estrogen with every drink.
