  Speaker 2: about what do we do to get out of a
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: slump if rivalries are for real? With players too, his
• 0:52

• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Jim Edmond's coming up. You can follow Jim on Instagram

• 1:00
  Speaker 2: start and just get it over with. I don't find
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: joy in this, Kevin, But what the heck's happening?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Bro?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: With the Celtics. What I can't believe they lost. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: can't believe they lost. But yesterday, I can't believe the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: lost that game and it was not even close, not
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: even that. I can't believe they blew it. I was
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: surprised it wasn't more of a game.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Later.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's maybe it's a heat of the moment thing
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: right now, But that's the lowest as far as embarrassing
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: moment I've had as a Celtics fan in quite some time.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Just not even showing up when your back's a goingst
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: a wall and just got smoked.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: What are you blaming on the coaching?
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Everything?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: That's the easy out is the coaching.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: And I get that because he didn't have them ready
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: to go and they should have been ready to go professional.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: And that's why I come back to that where I'm like, well,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: you have one of the top five players in the
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: NBA and Jason Tatum, like, that's on him to get
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: them to get going. Al Horford, he's a veteran, he's
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: been around a long time, been through a lot. That's
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: on him to get them going. So you can blame
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the coach as much as you want when it comes
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: to getting them ready x's and o's and all that
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: and sposure we all know is way better code, which
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: is fine, but at least show you care. I mean,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: don't get blown out from the get go and loose
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: balls and bad passes, and it just seemed like they
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: wanted to go home. They're ready to go to Cancun,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: as they.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Say, do they win game four?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: No, I have zero confidence.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Now. Oh man, Miami's kind of come out of nowhere
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: again playing team. We can't forget that. Yeah, they had
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to play in and barely got in. I think the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Chicago game was close, right, I mean it feels like
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: ten years ago. But wasn't that Bulls game close? Yeah?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Uh so he rolled past Celtics won twenty eight, one
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to oh two. They're up three to zero in the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals. That is not good. I don't There's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: never been anyone to come back. This goes for both series.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: There's never been anybody come back from three ever. There's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: been three one oh well, one to three, there's been
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: in baseball. Your team did it the Red Sox.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: I know. And the funny thing is in Game three
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: against the Yankees that that season, they were down. I
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: think they lost like eighteen and nine in Game three,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and you were like, oh man, this is ugly. So
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: that's the only thing keeping me a little bit alive here.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I'm like, we've seen this before.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I also don't feel bad for any sort of Boston
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: sports fan. You're like, oh, it's the lowest in the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals. We didn't show up for Game three.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Try being a Razorback fan or a Cubs fan your
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: whole life.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I did see going into this series. Fourteen years in
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: a row, a Boston major force sports team has made
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: it into the final four of their sport, whatever it
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: may be, which is pretty good.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You know, for you guys, though, it has been kind
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: of rough with the Bruins going down early early after
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: they had the greatest season ever. I don't think about hockey,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: but even I know that was quite the collapse. Celtics
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: down O three. Listen, they still can no one's ever
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: done it before, but I guess they're still in it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's tough. Patriots, the whole Coordinator debacle. Yeah, it's been
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: pretty rough, but I say pretty rough as then you
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: had the greatest regular seas of all time, and then
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: also you're in the Eastern Conference Finals, so that's rough.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the way that they're going about it, though.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was embarrassing to watch that team on
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the court last night.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I felt bad. I don't even like to message people
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: when they lose because I don't like to be messaged.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't hear anything from anybody that's respect then, yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: which I appreciate that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: That is respect. Nuggets and Lakers, and we'll get to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the title title on the second, but the Nuggets on Lakers,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: same situation. I just expected the Lakers to win this
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: last game. If any back in La, I expected to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: win Game three. Thought they may get lucky and win
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: one or two. They didn't. Okay, go back home and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: win game three. Nope. It's ugly. It's like I don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: say men and boys, but it's like a team that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: is highly skilled and have gone to practice versus a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: team that's just really athletic and shows up Unlet's just
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: see what happens, and that's not what it is. That's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: what it looks like to me, like a team that's
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: really well coached. The players know exactly the scheme they're running.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: That if one of the two teams can do it, though,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I think the Lakers can do it over the Celtics. Yeah,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: but I only think that because they have Lebron James.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: And they've shown somewhat of a fight.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, and they've done little Lebron's done three to one
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: before come back from that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the greatest team of all time.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that's going to happen. But I'm
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: very disappointed in the Lakers.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Isn't that why the Lakers and the Celtics down O
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: three in the final.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It hates that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Oh I can't stand it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: They the fact that Miami think about the Lakers and
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Celtics if they were to play again, all the fun,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: bird magic, mckam, I need all of that throughout the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: year's history, Kareem and they getting either team and they
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: get Lebron of now brutal, but man, Denver looks so good.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they look awesome.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Denver has shooters, obviously, they have Jokic. It's like they
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: have a piece for every part of the puzzle that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you need to have whenever you just are putting together.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I watched the redeem team. I'll talk about a second,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: but they put that team together for a reason, like
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: players did certain things. They didn't just go out and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: grab a bunch of players who are the best players.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: They got people who did certain things. And it's almost
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: like that's what the Nuggets did because whenever you start
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to look at Aaron Gordon, he ain't gonna score a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: lot of points, but man, he's gonna be in the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: right place at the right time. He's gonna play defense.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: He's They didn't ask him to score a lot of points,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: but he Aaron Gordon goes the whole game, dude, I know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: like he's jack U KCP call well Pope. He shoots
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: elite and when they close it on Jokic, okay, just
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: toss it on out. So between him, Michael Porter, Junior
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Denver is so much better than I guess. I won't
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: say that we give them credit for, but nobody just
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: cared because they've never won. They're in a small market.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: They don't have any crazy marketable star, or at least
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: one that's been marketed to us. Your kids look like
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: somebody's uncle. Jamal Murray. Is he elite? Is he's been
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: playing like it when they play their two man game.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he stopped it, because as soon
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: as they bring in a third guy aggressively to try
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to stop if it's a pick and roll up top
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: or they got two shooters. It's crazy.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they look really They're very surprising to me.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Austin Reeves awesome though, I know the fact that they're
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: not giving him the ball more and saying, hey, go
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: do your thing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I think Russell's been pretty bad lately, Daniel Angela Russell. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Austin Reeve is gonna make He's gonna do pretty well. Yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: he's gonna do pretty well well. I hate that for
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you guys. Thanks man.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: If anything, I have a new appreciation for the Nuggets
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and Jimmy Butler.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, well, I guess we'll get into it. But
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I can't hate Jimmy Butler. I've tried.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: There's no way to hate Jimmy Butler. He's not done anything.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It just be that dude, that's it. Yeah, that game
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: two whenever your boy was talking trash to Butler.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Grant Williams.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when that was happening, were you like, don't don't,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: don't wake the Giant.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: No, I really didn't hate it, And I even texted
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: this to my dad and my brother during the time
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: they hated it. They were like, shut up, Grant, blah
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: blah blah. And I was thinking the same thing as
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: some other people were thinking. Were at least, he's so
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: showing something because you showed a little fight, and I
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: know you wake the bear quote unquote, but guess what,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: we have a bear too in Jason Tatum. I don't
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: know the bear, So Jason, you gotta wake up too.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I was just glad to see somebody had some fight,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: some type of anger, some type of emotion, because the
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: rest of the team has no emotion.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: It's it's bad undrafted players on the Heat roster. The
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Heat currently have four key contributors that went undrafted. That's
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and the reason I had even thought to care about
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: this was Caleb Martin. Yeah, who was just contributed did
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: all playoffs a lot of these guys. You're like, it's
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Jimmy and the rest, But I mean, these guys are
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: all playing pretty consistent. But Kayla Martin from Nevada has
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: just been there and whatever they've needed from him, he's
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: given them nothing spectacular but ten points here, six seven
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: rebounds there. Jimmy Butler thirtieth pick from Marquette bam Adebayo
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: thirteenth pick from Kentucky. This is Miami. Duncan Robinson undrafted
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: from Michigan. Boy, he made a bunch of money for
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: undrafted Duncan Robbins made him, didn't He just get paid
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: big time?
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Him or Hero?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe both? Look up Duncan Robbinson much money. I know
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Hero got paid.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know Hero got paid after that bubble. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: want to say earlier year after.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Gabe Vincent undrafted from that House Berkeley.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: No, University of California, Santa.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Barbara, Santa Barbara got it. God dang, we don't even
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: know the initials and they're undrafted. That's a trouble. Max
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: strust And drafted from Nepaul Kayla Martin I drafted from Nevada.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Caul Lowry twenty fourth pick from Memphis. Kevin Love fifth
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: pick from UCLA. Kevin Love's old. He actually isn't, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: he's just been around for so long.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Lowry's older. Well draft year. Lowry was two years before that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: I did not even realize telling her of fourteenth we
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: t what do you make Mike?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I still got nothing. I got an internet over here?
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You have no internet? No, that's it? Red, Do you
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: have anything over there, I can check everybody. Well, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: can check everybody. Everybody failed me. Kevin and I are
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: trying to do a good sports show over here. Now,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: if your nets down, Mike, I blame Reid because he
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: had a cell phone.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Duncan, Oh, mine's.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Are we down? Duncan Robinson salary. I don't know if
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you guys know this. In my my internet's then it
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just said you want to use cellular data? Well, yes
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I do. Let's see it. Are you been getting that?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Even myself? Dad is a world ending yes? Oh, here
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we go. H let's see Doucan robins side five year,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: ninety million dollar contract with the Heat, including eighty million
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: guaranteed an average salary of almost twenty million dollars. Oh yeah,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like he be paid undrafted. I mean that's
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: what reads about to happen. Eastern marketsall too didn't play
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: in versus Arkansas wasn't good enough apparently to which shall stay?
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Oh Austin Reas Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, I think you
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: said read for a second.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Reads, I'll read him.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Hey reach tall though, Yeah that is maybe Boston's roster
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Jayalen Brown third pick out of cow poor for third
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: pick out of Florida, Mark Smart sixth pick out Oklahoma State,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Tatum third pick out of Duke, and they got a
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: lot of high Those four dudes were picked higher than
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: anybody on the Miami team.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Well, good luck to Yeah, I don't care. I mean,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I would like to see Boston win because it's your team,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: but I don't really have any sort of personal interest there. Thanks,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: but I hope you win. Thank you, But that'd be tough.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Very all right, Let's go to the till Tattle name
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: ever the ttle Tuttle.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of talk over the weekend with how
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: difficult the course was PJ Championship Oak Hill. What's the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: toughest course you've ever played?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: You see the ball going to the rough? Yeah, I
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: mean it almost literally disappear down that there was a
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: ball that was plugged in the sand. Was a Scheffler, Nope,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: it was the guy that finished behind uh Hobland, didn't
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Hobblin hit one of the sand of it completely?
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: It was gone right?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, now not the same, that's just I think bad luck.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Where the rough was so bad, are so long purposefully
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: that the ball would get lost there with a lot
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of lost balls or a lot of balls hard to find.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Hardest course ever played was probably the Blessings Course, which
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: is in Arkansas and Fayetteville, for two reasons. One, they
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: had kind of said before it went up there, head,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: it's a really hard course, but it's really nice. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: think it's the University of Arkansas course like home course. Secondly,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I'd hurt my shoulder playing basketball in the University of
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: parksas basket ball arena because they gave a towist my
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: bachelor party the whole thing. We played for hours, right, yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: it's fine, turned it all on. It's crazy. We never
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: really got to talk about it. Probably not supposed to now,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: but who cares. They gave me the whole thing. They
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: turned on all this thing, picture music, had the locker
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: room all fill of food. It was an amazing thing.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: One of the most special days for my bachelor party.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: That being said, I hurt my shoulder and then I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: went out in the first few all the Canda Swing
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: golf Club. So the course seemed hard and I just
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: couldn't move, But everybody else was like, that was a
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: really hard course. I wish I could have experienced it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I wish I had more than one reason for you
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: that's right, all right. Next question after Michael Block's memorable
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: hole in one on day four, you have a most
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: memorable shot.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: That shot by the way, because he didn't see it
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: go in and I was watching it and neither did
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I because it went straight dunk, it went right in
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the hole, meaning and if it had just to the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: left or right of the whole thing, but it flew
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: on by, but it went straight in the hole. Crazy.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I've never even seen a hole of one, never had one,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: never seen one. Really cool to see him because that
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: shot actually is what got him into next year's because
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: he finished top fifteen, and had he not hit the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: whole of one, he'd have been two shots on the
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: wrong way of it. So, for me, most memorable shot
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: not even on a yeah, I like in a actual round.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: When I went to Pebble Beach last year, we did
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the Par three Celebrity Part three Championship and everybody was there,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: like forty people, and I was in the round with
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, and I remember who else was in my group,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: but I just not beat Aaron Rodgers. But I'm up
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: on the pedestal and it's, you know, one twenty or
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: so away, everybody's sitting at the par three nervous as
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: crap could feel it. I was feeling so nervous that
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I did a whole bit where I changed balls. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: only did that so I could calm down because I
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: had a white ball, and I was like, I got
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: up to the ball and I was just like, oh,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I don't even know. I got people everywhere. Ain't that good?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Anyway?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I was like, so I reached my pocket, I pulled
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: out a pink ball. I was like, I'm changing balls,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and I put it down switchballs. I just did that
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to kind of regroup. Yeah, and then I stuck at
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: like ten feet from the pin and I won my
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: round and I got to the finals. I think I
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: finished maybe third overall out of forty because I hit
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: My next round shot was pretty good too, but nothing
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: like that first one. Jim Nance is calling it. You
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: hear him, He's like, not.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Why.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I kind of blacked out right when I swung and
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: it landed. I was like, oh my god. I wasn't
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: happy that I did well. I was happy I didn't
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: humiliate myself and hit somebody or miss completely.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: That would be so nerve wracking for me people around me.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: It was really nerve wracking.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no way.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And I don't get nervous for performing as much, nearly
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: as much as I used to. I mean I used
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: to be nervous, specially when started doing standout, where I
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: started doing music. It's kind of hard to be nervous now,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: even live TV. I wouldn't even call it nervous. It's
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: just kind of like an excited energy more than it's nervous,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: because I'm not I've done it enough to know that
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the worst thing that can happen, I'm still gonna be okay.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So once you've done it in repetition that many times,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what it is, and you're comfortable because
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you know, as bad as it gets, you're still gonna
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: be all right. And that's it's it is worst. You're fine,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: You're loose. I wasn't loose there, Hey, I wasn't lose
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: like of a shot though. It's on my Instagram if
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: you guys want to scroll back and see it. But boy,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: it was a tough one. Boy, it was a tough one,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: all right. Go ahead.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of hype around Victor Wimbanyama. Hopefully I'm
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: saying that right, Going to the Spurs in the upcoming draft.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Who's the most hype athlete you remember of any sport?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: It's easy to probably say Lebron. And I'm a little
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: older than you, so you probably don't remember Lebron being
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: on Sports Illustrated. Oh I do, Yeah, I do.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I was what twelve, thirteen, eleven, So yeah, no,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I do. I remember. The hype was huge for him.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the first high school games. I think
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: that we're on ESPN when they would show just those Irish,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the Green Irish. But to me, that's not who I'm picking.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Im picking Bryce Harper because I remember him being a
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: high school kid and then being on Sports Illustrated and
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: how he went to the wood Bat League instead of
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I just remember all he lived in Las Vegas. It
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: was Bryce Harper, Bryce Harper, Bryce Harper, and he's one
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of those rare athletes that did what they were supposed
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to do, maybe more. I mean, think about the ype
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: of Lebron and what he's been able to do. He
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: met and achieved more than the hype would have led
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you to believe, and nobody ever reaches their hype level.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go Bryce Harper, and he did it,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: and Lebron and he did it. But look at Tiger
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Woods too. Ticker's won every amateur championship for years college
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: and he did it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: See I don't remember the Tiger hype.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a different kind of hype. It was
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: like this kid just wins everything.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like wait till you see what this kid does.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: He was already doing it at that level, just dominating everybody,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: even in college. So then he went pro and he
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: just kept on. So it wasn't so much hype as
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: it is look at how great he is right now
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and he's probably just gonna keep going. Different kind of hype.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It was more like an excitement for this how good
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: he was going to get instead of we have crazy
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: projections of this guy.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Which is crazy too because you never hear that with
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: a golfer, right, I mean, is there any other golfer
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: that you remember when there were young college coming up?
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Do you really hear about even the speech or the.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: It's just not a sport that is consumed by enough
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: people that enough people are going to care that it's
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: going to develop into something everybody's whispering about talking about
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: when Binianna's type stuff where they're like, he's the greatest
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: possible player in any sport. He's a great of all time,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: and he maybe seven to five. I saw him next
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: to Rudy Gobert. Do you see him standing next Rudy Gobert.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he made him look normal.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like not sure, but made Rudy Gobert, who's over
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: seven foot tall, just look pedestrian. It was crazy. So
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Bryce Harper. But I like Bryce
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Next last one here, we talked about Jimmy Butler and
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: how much he's loved. Who's the most liked or loved
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: athlete you can remember?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: We talk about Tiger. The weird thing about Tiger is
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: of all the shady stuff he's been up to and done,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and the bad ways he's treated people, not even people
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: that he's been having sex with. So love him. I
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: love him, I root for him. So I think Tiger
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: because when you look at all the crap he's done
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to himself to others, and the fact that he's so
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: universally loved bulletproof. So I'm gonna go Tiger Woods. Michael Jordan,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: even kids didn't get to see him play. Love him
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: because the brand. But yeah, I'm gonna go Tiger Jordan.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I was not a Michael Jordan guy because I didn't
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: like the Bulls because they won all the time. It
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: annoyed me, So I was not I was the rare
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: non Jordan guy. Who who do you think it is?
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I would probably go with Tiger off the top of
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: my head. I think Steph's another big one.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, very loveable. Yeah, I like st.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Everyone likes Steph. I've even last year when they beat
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: the Celtics in the finals, I was like, it's just
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Steph Curry, Like, Okay, that's cool.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's hard to dislike it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Like it's just like Jimmy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: That's the tittle tattle.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you name ever.

• 20:22
  Speaker 2: they're getting a point a half, and then I'm going
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: under two sixteen because I think for them to win it.
• 20:27

• 20:30
  Speaker 2: is only a Boston's got a win bet more than like,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I believe it in my bones. I'm going, this is
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: my bet here, it's my parlay Boston plus point and
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: a half and under two sixteen. I just can't see

  Speaker 2: them losing it again. I can't Kevin and the heat.

  Speaker 2: I love baseball. I love Jim Edmonds, even though I
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: hated him, it was respect. I hated the Cardinals. Being
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a Cubs fan, you hate the Cardinals, but I just
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: always wish we had Jim Edmonds. He is so good.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: He'd track down any boy. I just he's making those
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: over the shoulder catches running straight back center for William
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: May style catches. So this is us with former MLB
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: All Star and Cardinals Hall of Famer Jim Edmonds, which
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: we talk about I hate for the Cardinals growing up
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: as a Cubs fan, how much I rooted against him
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: because he was so good. It was a root against,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: but it was a respect. He wants to move to Nashville.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: We talk about that country music. You can follow Jim
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: on Instagram at Jim Edmunds fifteen. Man, it's cool for
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: me here he is Jim Edmonds. Jim, what's up man?
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: How are you hey? Good?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you I used to hate you, man.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I used to hate your guts because I was a
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: massive I grew up a Cubs fan. I'm gonna tell
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: you watching you track down balls constant, Oh, it would
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: kill me. I knew no ball was safe. It didn't matter.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: You couldn't you couldn't gap you, you couldn't do anything
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: that was also respect. So it is an honor to
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: talk to you, Jim, because he drove me crazy as
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: a kid. But man, did you ever think I just
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: think there wasn't a ball you couldn't catch? Did you
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: feel like that out there?
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Sometimes I really did. I thought that that was
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: like kind of my goal or kind of my.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Job, you know what I mean.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Your job is to do whatever you're doing the best
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: to your ability, and I just thought that was my
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I took pride in it, just like anything else.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: You know, when you were coming up were you I think,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: what do you have eight gold gloves? If I tell
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong? Okay? When you were coming up
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: through you know, miners, even playing as a teenager, were
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: you that guy as well that could track down balls
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: in the outfield or were you such an athlete you
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: just played wherever they put you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I think a little bit of both. I know I
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: grew up playing soccer, grew up playing football, a little
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: bit of basketball and baseball, but we practiced a lot.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: And I always thought that because I practiced so much
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: on an open field, that I used to run around
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the outfield and chase balls from the other guys that
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: would hit, And so I think that that helped a lot.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Was there a when you got to the majors? Was
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: there initially some sort of adjustment to speed or were
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: you just naturally there already, as you know, a young
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: twenty year old.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I think the minor leagues, you know, help each level.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And when I got drafted, I was only seventeen, so
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: that first year rookie ball and then a ball, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: then a ball again, and then double A and then
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: triple A. It's I don't know, it's kind of like,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: you know, like I mean, do you think you're ready
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: for doing what you were doing when you were working
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: in Arkansas?
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: But I still don't think I'm ready to do what
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I'm doing nowhere you could see you just with our
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: eyeballs crushing it. I completely understand your point, Like I'm mature.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I had a friend, Greg Swndell, who talked about coming
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: up and you know, very brief in the majors. His
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: first start, he goes out and he just destroys people
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: and he's pitching. He's like, this is this is easy.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Second game he got lit up hard and he was like, oh,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: this is not easy. And I was completely wrong. Yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: but that his adjustment was was wrong. At first he thought, Wow,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: this is crazy, this is so easy. But then it
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: turns out it was a lot harder than he thought.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I just wonder what that adjustments like when you get
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: up to pro ball.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Well, wow, when I first pro ball is huge because
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: coming from high school, you know, you're basically facing basic
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: pictures back in those days. It's a little different now,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: but you know, a guy would throw a fastball and
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: a curve ball, and that was basically it. And when
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I got to pro ball, I was I hadn't quite
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: turned eighteen yet, I was late for my senior year,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: and then I was facing guys out of junior college,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: out of college and sliders velocity. I think got struck
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: out man probably seventy five percent of my first fifty
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: at bats.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: It was tough, it really was.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: It was like and that was just in the minor
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: that was just the lowest level of the minor league.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: So I think after you know, like I said, year
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: by year and day by day, you just kind of
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: pick it up, and I guess you either do or
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: you don't.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: You know, when I think back to some of your plays,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: just going from memory here, I think when I think
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: about the most is not even a Cubs game, it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: a NLCS against the Astros. And when you would make
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: plays in the outfield that were I mean really the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: ones where you would just take off running like Willie
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: May style with your back to the bat, like that's
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: what I visualize you doing over and over again. But
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: some of those plays, did you ever wonder do I
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: actually have the ball or not? Because they were just
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: like so extended.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what it is. Don't let it
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: fall out.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think if you were to catch up
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: on maybe the play in Kansas City, you can see
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: my first reaction was to reach in my glove with
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: my bare hand because I thought, man, if I run
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: all this way and the ball pops out of my glove.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I am gonna be pissed. So that was kind of
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that was kind of the thing.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: You know, you watch you still watch highlights day and
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: guys will dive and the ball will bounce out or
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: jump up and knock.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: The ball out the wall. So that was my biggest fear.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: So unless I hit the pocket perfect, I definitely try
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: to throw my other hand in there.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Did you ever do the thing where you were winning
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: by ten runs or losing by ten runs and you
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: would go on to pitch a little bit as like
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the okay, we don't want to waste anyone that's in
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: the ballpen. Did you ever do that at all?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: I did it once in the minor leagues. I was
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: a pitcher growing up my whole life, and it's all
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I ever wanted to do was to pitch one game
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues. And I never did I think that.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: When I got to Saint Louis, LaRussa knew that I
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: would probably throw my arm out trying too hard, so he, uh,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: he wouldn't let me do it. But he wasn't too
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: keen on that as much as they are nowadays. He
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: was a little bit more like, we're gonna, you know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: we're gonna gut this out what we got and if
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: it's really bad, then we'll just use somebody literally like
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: a reserve infielder that just knows that they won't go
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: out and hurt themselves. But no, I was always my uh,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: it was always my biggest dream.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: What was coach LaRussa like day to day? I just
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you know, from being with Oakland and Canseko maguire and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: all those guys to then being with the Cardinals. His
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: every day demeanor from afar seems very stoic. What was
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: he like every single day?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Same? Same it was? It was uh. I told him
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: one time when he finally retired, I said, you know,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: you have a pretty good personality. Too bad baseball ruined
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: it for you. But but he was.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: He was like, hey, how you doing And he said,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I'll let you know after the game. You know, every
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: day it was just his whole life was about winning
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: that day, that game, learning being better. It was incredible.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: It made me such a better person and player and human.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: And you know, he was like a father, even at
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: twenty nine, thirty thirty one years old. He was just
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: such a teacher, still in a motivator. I thought it
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: was it was pretty awesome to be around. I you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised, but you know your sports and there's
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: very few guys like that. You know, you can think
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: of the top coaches out there in the world, right
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: you think you're Belichick's and guys like that, maybe you're
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Andy Reeves now in the NFL. And you think about
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: there as a couple of guys in college and there's
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: not too many guys like that in baseball anymore. And
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: they're just they get the best out of you think,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: because they have learned from a lot of different people,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: and they really they're really focusing on all the details.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And I think that's why some.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Of those coaches are always, you know, the same coaches
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: are always successful year.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: In a year out.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: When I think about coaches that I've seen from far obviously,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: but it's like Tommy Lesorda in LA, it's Tony Laruss,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: you know, with the bash Brothers in Oakland obviously those teams,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: and then with Saint Louis it's even Dusty Baker. Now
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: what are those guys to you? What do they have
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: in common that creates this longevity and also this respect,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the seeming respect and you know, within the team all
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I think that one thing as a leader, I think
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: you can't do is ever waiver.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: And I think.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: The things that those guys do is you know that
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: they don't waiver. They always have your back no matter what.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: That comes first. You know, the players come first, the
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: game comes second. It's like a family, and so you
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: respect that. And then they give you feedback that you
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: need and they treat you like a man, you know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: and they expect the best out of you. But they
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: also know that there's going to be days you're not
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: your best.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Would you go and say, hey, I'm not feeling good?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Can I take the day off? One hundred and sixty two?
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Anythings in a year? Yeah, is a lot, Like how
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: does that conversation go with one of those guys?
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: You know, It's funny, it's it usually goes the other
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: way around. They'll say, like, you look, you know, he
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: don't look like you're up the standards.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Last couple of days and give a day off, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: you're like, you know, you.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Take pride in playing every days. You know, I would
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: think like for you, same thing. You know, you have
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: big weekends and you've got to wake up on Monday morning,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure there's days you're just like, oh my gosh,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: I just got to do this. And then you get
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: there and it's just like, you know, here's the show,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: here we go. But yeah, there's no really back in
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: those days, if you ask for a day off, you
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: might not get another day to play. So I remember
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: wanted to come out of the lineup. You know, there
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: was a guy named Wally Pip. I'm sure you're very
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: familiar with.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: How lu Gary got so famous, I mean, got hurt
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, well let's replace some with
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: this young guy for a little bit, lou Gary who
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: then turns in one of the greatest of all time
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. That story is so legendary, the Wally
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Pip story. But was Wally really that good though, Jim,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: that's the question I ask. But couldn't they put him
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: somewhere else? He was so good?
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: And that's true actually right nowadays they would be like, okay,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: well we'll put you in right field and red field.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: But clearly he wasn't as good as the rest of
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: the guys. And I think it makes for a great
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: story though, doesn't it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I think about it.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that story is held up forever because the
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: freaking iron Horse, like he's the dude they made movies
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: about him. They Yeah, so Wally pipped to me, he's
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: like the Beatle Pete Best, you know, the original drummer.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: It's oh, you're like, man, what could have been? Who
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: knows what Pete Best would have done if he had
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: just you know, if he would have been kicked out
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: of the Beatles before they got famous.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of that, right, I mean, there's
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: in your business, in every business, and how many how
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: many band members do you think stepped aside before somebody
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: got big or couldn't do it anymore because they weren't
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: making enough money to survive and had a family. Maybe
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: before these guys were you know, single and having fun.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, gosh, you can.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Probably there's probably millions of stories like that.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: My manager was a rummer for a and heat. My
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: manager's fifty now, but he was a drummer for a
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: pretty famous band. And he got out about three months
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: before they hit and signed the record deal because again,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: he just wanted to be They were broke, they were poor,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and he was like, I can't do it. We have
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: a kid coming. So he got he got out and
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: then like three months later they hit big. And it's
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: crazy to think that he was like, I just I
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: can't but I imagine that happens with ballplayers too. Some
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: right where you're playing in the miners, you're not making
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: much money, and you're like, I just can't do this
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: anymore and you jump when I don't know, maybe you
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: had the potential. Does that happen ball at all?
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's funny you say that. See, I
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: was probably nineteen and our second round pick was our
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: shortstop starting in a ball high a ball right away,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: and halfway through the season, he just quit, this isn't
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: for me. I'm going to go home and hang out
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: with my girlfriend basically, and we're like, what, like, you're
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: a number two pick and then you know, like and
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: the second round pick, our shortstop that.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Was huge, obviously potential, and he just said, I'm done.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I'm out. He didn't play a full year. Crazy?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Did they not do what they do now where they
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: basically dive into all the you know, mental health reports,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: the love of the game, the passion fact because it
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: seems like you would know that about a player that
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: if they didn't absolutely love it, you wouldn't draft him.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: At this point, Yeah, I think you can't measure heart obviously, right,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: and then homesick I don't know. There's a lot of
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: people out there and never been away from home. Yeah,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I was. I was kind of shocked because I don't
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: think he was out of high school. I think he
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: was out of like a JC or something. But really
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: good players just maybe just didn't have it in him.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe it had enough, you know.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: So you moved on.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Did I see that you're moving to Nashville on your Twitter?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I'm man, I'm trying. I'm we have been looking for
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: a year. Uh, you know, the prices have gone crazy.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: But we were just there this weekend and we found
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: a really nice piece of property. But you know, I've
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: been struggling with find a place on a golf course
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: or find We've been looking for twenty thirty forty fifty acres.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: So a lot of friends there. I love it there.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: We're we're there a lot, and so yeah, we're we're
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: definitely gonna move there. I got a son who's a sophomore.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: He's got his last week of school, and as soon
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: as he's out of the house, we might be headed
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: that way.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: If not before.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: What's your handakeeutt, what's your handicaff? Yeah, I feel like
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: you professional athletes, for example, one of my best friends
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: is Andy Roddick, the tennis player, and he had never
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: played golf, and all of a sudden he starts playing
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: golf and he goes to like a four in eight
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: months because hand eye coordination is so freaking good. I
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: just want to I want to kill him. So that's
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: not the case with me. So what about a guy
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: like you that would hit a ball and can run
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: fast for a living? How how good are you a
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: golf You know.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I stopped playing about three or four years ago. But
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I'm one of those guys that just once I picked
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: something up, I just go and go and go until I.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Get pretty good. And I got down to like an
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: eight or nine. Maybe you're not playing at all anymore.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I don't play at all now.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: I used to have a house in Palm Springs on
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the golf course, and they still have a house up
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: in Idaho. Right when I retired, and then when we
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: moved back to Saint Louis to you know, the kids
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: all get in school and and do all that, I.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Just kind of gave it up. It's hard to play,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: It's funny is in Missouri here especially it's always raining
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: or it's hot or it's cold, there's like no kind
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: of like, you know, we don't have convertible weather here.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I think the weather's a little better in Nashville than
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: it is here. And it just kind of hated going
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: out and one day hitting off matts and the next
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: day it's car path only, and I'm just like, I
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: guess I got spoiled and the golf courses I belonged
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: to in the past in California, and so I just
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: kind of wasn't that important, especially because then also with
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: the kids, I'm just kind of like trying to play
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: dad the best I can now that I'm retired.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: What do you do for fun? Then you're not dad?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: But if you're not playing golf, what are you playing
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: pickleball at all?
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Like that? Nah? Yeah, I too many injuries.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: I've seen too many people already go down and pick
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: the ball. And I've been playing it. I was planning
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: about actually about eight or nine years ago when it
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: first started going through our country club. And for fun, really,
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know nothing. I mean, just chill, work out,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: listen to music, go to concerts, you know, I mean,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: hang out with my wife like chill. I mean, like
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: I think my fund's over baseball was fun for me.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Man, that does seem like to be the most fun,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: like to be like, young, athletic, good looking playing center
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: field for the freaking Cardinals. Other than the Cardinals part,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: it sounds like an amazing life.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize you were such a Cubs fan.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a whole life. It was a curse until
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: it wasn't anymore. Though.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I think that I listened to you a lot, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I think I know a lot about listening to what
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: you guys do and stuff, and I don't think I've
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: heard a lot about the Cubs as much as you know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: hear a lot about Arkansas and all that other stuff
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: that you do. But yeah, I was surprised. But that
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: makes sense, right in.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: A rough few years, you know, so it's a lot
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: of talk about Also, you know, baseball for us doesn't
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: really do at least in talk. People don't really like
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: to hear a lot of baseball talk unless it's about superstars.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And you know, the Cubs kind of went
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: through a process there. We didn't know who was going
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: to be on the team year to year, and our
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: show was on in Chicago for a long time, but yeah,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot to talk about but the Cubs.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: And be honest with you, when we I grew up,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: my grandfather was a Cubs fan, so my stepdad was
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: a Cubs fan, so it was just kind of passed
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: on to me. I would I would never wish that
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: for anyone, but growing up in Arkansas, we used to
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: go to Bush and play like Legion ball, like Championships
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: in Bush Stadium, which was always awesome.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: And I've that's Cardinal Country down there, right, Are you
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: from Hot Springs?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I am from Central Arkansas.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, down there for a charity event, and man, that's
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Cardinal Country down there. And it's that kind of mix, right,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: It's like half Cubs, half Cardinals.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: It's only Cubs if you were watching it on WGN
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: the whole time, but it's mostly Cardinals because we had
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the team and then the single A team for the
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Cardinals forever, and that was like the big trick for me.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Every year we would go to watch the Arkansas Travelers
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: because you know, they were the single A team for
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: a long time. That fed into the Cardinals and you'd
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: go and you'd get autographs and you'd hope they make
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: it and they never make it, and you just had
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: some random cards signed by some dude who's now walking
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: down the street. So that was kind of the situation there.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I respected the Cardinals, but since everybody loved them,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I hated them. But that's but I got to play
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: in the stadium and it was pretty cool. I remember
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: getting these balls, Jim. I don't know if you guys
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: ever hit him with batting practice because we would go
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: and we get to see all the facilities back then,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: and the batting practice balls were smaller than normal balls,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: which made sense because if you hit smaller balls, it
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: makes that bigger ball easier to hit. Did you ever
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: hit with tiny batting practice balls?
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: No, not really, there's sometimes they're different because their practice
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: balls are Also they get the craft beat out of
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: them because they'd get hit so much, and they don't
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: last very long, so that's probably another thing too. They're
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: either brand new all the time time or they're smashed
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: in from getting hit. But no, not not purposely. Did
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: they change the balls out, but probably over time. And
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: I'm sure if you have a ball, like I have
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: a ball from like the All Star Game in ninety five,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: and it looks like it's this big compared to like
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: this big now, But just in time they get they
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: were tighter. They were you know, in the nineties, everything
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: was the balls are rock hard, that bats a rock card.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Everyone was doing steroids. The ball was flying out of
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: the ballpark. So I think they changed over time, I
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: really do. They say that they don't, but I can
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: promise you one that they're not the same.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Year in and you're out.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: You have a guitar behind you, and I feel like
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: you're a country music guy? Am I? Right?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Am?
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I right on this? What's the guitar for? Back there?
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: That's Eric Church?
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: I got that. I got one from Eric, I got one.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Jason Alden over there? Yeah, I am.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I you know what, you know how these worlds collide? Right?
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you probably either friends with a lot of
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: uh you said Andy Roddick and a couple of those
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: guys like I think music and baseball have a huge connection,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: which I was surprised.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: So I met Luke through Adam Wayne Wright.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Then I met Jason through DJ Silver with John Perdue.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you probably know him and his family, and
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: then just kind of took off from there. I met
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: H's become friends with Cole Swindell. He knew Rick and
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Keel Like it's just random house like everyone just kind
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: of like kind of mingled and stayed in touch with
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys and uh yeah, I really, I
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: really enjoy it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: It's interesting you mentioned Rick and k because Rick was
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: a pitcher when I first knew Rick, like he came
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: up the system like crazy, crazy prospect. Then whatever happened
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: to him emotionally, psychologically, I don't know, and then he
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: ended up being a good outfielder as well, like play.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: But that's one of we talked about Wally Pip like
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: changed positions like they did that with Aank. You for
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: a different reason, what because I struggle sometimes if I'm
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: playing golf, like I get nervous. I played the Pebble
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Beach prom and I was scared to death. And I'm
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: not scared to do anything. I'm my knees were shaking.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Jim nance was calling it. I don't get nervous with
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Jim at all. I can do stand up front of
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: thousands of people. I can do live TV. I scared
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: to death and I couldn't fix it. When Ank, You'll
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: goes through something like that, like did you have any
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: of those moments where also you were just psychologically not
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: in tune with yourself.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: No, not like that.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I always tease Rick, and this is a
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: crazy credit to his ability to He was probably the
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: only guy ever to make it to the big league swice.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: If you think about that. He came up.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: He was nineteen that year.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: It was my first year in Saint Louis, and in
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: the playoffs he lost it and then lost the.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Field for throwing.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: And then after a year and a half of try
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: and he went back and said, I'm just going to
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: be an outfielder.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Actually he quit for a.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Couple of days, and then I think LaRussa talked to
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: him into going back and trying to be an outfielder.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: And I thought, man, what a this guy was like.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: He could have been Randy.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Johnson, you know, I mean, this guy is electric. He
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: had the best, they said, the best left handed curve ball.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: In the game. He was nineteen, He threw ninety four.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: It just was wicked.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: But you know, his upbringing and a lot of things
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: that he had to deal with, it just probably wasn't
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: at the time mentally as strong as he was hoping
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: to be. And now he's all. I mean, I love him.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I still keep in touch with him. I see him
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: a lot. He was working for TV with us for
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: a little bit, and now he's doing some stuff in
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Florida with boats and fishing and stuff. So but yeah,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: what a what a crazy story, huh? I mean, one
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: day he couldn't throw the ball over the plate, and
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: you know, a year and a half later, he's starting
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: in center field for the Cardinals. So crazy.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: When you would get into a slump, how would you
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: get out of a slump?
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I would hit a lot.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I would hit. There's two things. Either stop hitting completely,
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Like if you had a chance to.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Take a day off, you probably would.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't hit the day before the day off, and
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: then I would just kind of wing it for a
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: day or two. And then in other days when we're
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: at home, I would just hit.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Extra into my hands blood. I mean.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: And there's times when you have energy and you're not
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: doing well, and there's times you're just dead tired. So
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: you then it's just back off and just let your
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: ability take over. So it's all up here usually in
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: the mind.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: You know, you get out of out of sync with
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: your body and out of sync with your mind.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Two final questions. Did you like playing in all Star games?
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: You know, now we hear players they don't like it,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: they'd rather have the days off. Did you like playing
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and being around all those other guys?
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I loved it, I really did.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: I could see if you play in you know, ten, twelve,
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: fifteen of them, it would be a little bit of
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: a nuisance because you're always expected to do so much.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: But I had a blast.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's your obligation to at least
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: be unless you're seriously hurt or beat up, to go
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: and you know, represent your team and do that stuff.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: I thought it was you know, it's a lot of fun.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: You got a lot of camaraderie. There a lot of
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: interesting you know, it's funny to see the pictures and
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: the hitters kind of look.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: At each other. You know.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: That's like all these rivalries and guys that you might
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: not like on one side, but then you play with
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: them and you love them. So yeah, it's a weird scenario,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: but I thought it was kind of cool. I enjoyed,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: you know, being around those guys. And how do you
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: not you know, how do you not be excited about
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: being around the best of the best, you know, kind
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: of like going to an awards ceremony, right, and you're
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: actually now one of those guys Like I love That's
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: what I.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Love about you.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: It is like you've done everything and you've kind of
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: gone through what you've gone through, and all of a sudden,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: look who are you? You know, look what you have
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: become just because of hard work, and now instead of
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: just doing TV and talking to people in radio, you're
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: like on the red carpet, You're presenting your winning awards,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Like you know.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I still realls in the outfield though.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Honest with Jim, come on up, I'll get you on
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: the field for batting practice.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: And we'll see how it goes.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Rival As a pro do you actually care? Do you
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: actually hate the teams you're supposed to hate that we
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: as fans, and for me, it can be college football,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: it can be the major leagues. Obviously, we as Cups
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: fans really had trouble with the Cardinals that as a player,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: is it really real?
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: You know, It's funny.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: When I first got to Saint Louis, I did I
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: knew there was a rivalry but the Cubs, but I
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: really was like, what is this deal?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: You know, like I'm just got here. I don't know anyone,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: so I thought it was all media driven.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: And then I think the media can push it over
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: the edge, you know, if it's all you hear, and
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: then yeah, you learn to not like a certain team
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: or you know, especially in the in the league a
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: couple not this year, but a couple of years ago
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: or in the past, when we were playing everybody in
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: our division eighteen nineteen times, they got kind of sick
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: of it, and yeah, I could heat it, and yeah, definitely,
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: the Cubs Cardinals were a good rivalry for like, you know,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: I think after my first second or third year it
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: started to really become real, like two oh three.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I think at three, they beat.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Us up pretty good at the end of the year,
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: and then we got in the fight, and then oh four,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: same kind of stuff. And then you know, then you
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: start losing players, right, you start losing pitchers on their team,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: you know, catcher My Colbertt.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Then he ended up going somewhere.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Else, all these different guys, right, and all of a sudden,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: what you had left was like Soto and Zambrano, you know,
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, other than Zambrano, there wasn't much of a
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: rivalry left, and so I kind of went downhill for
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: a while. But I think you feel it because you
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: feel the fans, you feel the energy, and how can
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: you not love playing in that stadium, especially now?
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: It stems amazing?
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: All right, bonus question, best concert you've ever been to?
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Holy cal oh man. I've been to so many now
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: it's crazy.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: But you know, I just saw that I really fell
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: in love with, and it was in a really small venue.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: It was Randy Hauser.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: He played in like a small like pageant type of
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: thing that we just built a new place here in Chesterfield, Missouri,
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: and it's cool. It's like a little venue. It's really small.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Chase Rice just played there. I watched a bunch of
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: guys play there right after kind of got popped there
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: after COVID because you know, they weren't selling tickets and
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: so it was kind of cool. I'm going to go
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: see Cole Swindell this weekend. Here my best story with
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: Cole Swindell.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I love it. I got divorced and you know the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: song you Ain't Worth the Whiskey.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: So that was like the one to live by after
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: a breakup, right, You think about it like in your
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: own head and it's a funny story. So we're sitting
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: in a bar in Nashville. Was a couple of guys,
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: a couple of writers. One of his buddies, me, a
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: couple of the guys hanging out and was talking about
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: that story and just how it meant so much and
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: it was weird. I was like not saying like, hey,
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: I love you because of this, but I had known
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: him for a little bit.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I was telling him about the song and he's like,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back, and I was like, all right.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Whatever, So now I'm talking to someone else and he
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: jumps up on stage and started performing the song.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is really damn cool right here.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Those guys are so much fun to be around and
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: just so talented. I think it's really cool. Yeah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: The annoying ones are the ones that were great athletes
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and then like they hurt something and they became a
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: country music like Jaco and great golf, or a collegiate
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: golfer hurts a shoulder becomes superstar Sam Hunt. College football
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: player becomes superstar Colswindow. I hate those guys because they
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: were so good at everything, and I like, I'm good
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: at nothing, and so and they're so likable as humans
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: that you don't really hate him, you're just really jealous
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: You know who's doing that now is Adam Waynwright. Adam
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Waynewright sang the national anthem on an opening day and
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: he told no one I saw that. And he carries
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: his guitar with him everywhere he goes. And he's friends
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: with Luke, really good friends with Luke, and obviously Jason
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: and those guys.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's funny.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this story is true, but I
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: was talking to Luke one day and I and he
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: was at the field, and I said, how did you
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: really get into playing guitar? Because I know you didn't
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: play as a kid, And he said, I got released
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: offer a cut from my high school baseball team or whatever,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: and just picked up a guitar so later in life,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: which I thought was awesome.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: And Jason said the same thing.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: As soon as you stopped playing baseball, he really got
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: like he's a hardcore baseball fan talking about a baseball fan.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Wow with the Braves, he's insane. Yeah, he loves a.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Good ball player too.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: When I stopped playing baseball, I just, uh well got
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: beat up more and studied. I mean that's basically what
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I did. So and here we are. Well, look, Jim,

  Speaker 2: to Jim Edmonds. That's awesome. Like that's my day. Like
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: when everybody has a day, like a time where they
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: really thrived and took in every little kernel. Those days
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: for me, like when I was twelve through like thirty two.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: That's a solid twenty years, right, that's a solid twenty
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: years where I was like, I knew how many games
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: behind everybody. I mean, it was all I lived. And
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: then baseball just got too long. Games are too long.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: And now we're starting to get back a little bit. Yeah,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: and they need because the game has fallen out of
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: favor because of our attention spans. There aren't as many
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: marketable stars, which then that's what sports is, marketable stars.
• 50:58

  Speaker 2: ad I like see Lebron win another one. I like
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets because I think Yokich is awesome and he
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't get the respect he deserves, even from me, because

  Speaker 2: next year's He cried a lot, but he made me
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: sad when he was crying. People were making fun of
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: him for crying all the time, but I'm telling him
• 54:11

• 54:20
  Speaker 2: isn't his fourth major? Yeah, Like everybody's acting like they
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: found him on the streets, like some guy walking around
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: with a golf club, didn't even know what number it
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: was showed up to the court. I mean, he's played
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: in for me. Granted, he finished top fifteen, and that's awesome.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Most of it. Everyone was like setting one thousand dollars
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: and he had a funny thing at the podium. We're like,
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: what's the most you ever won? And he goes seting
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: out thousand bucks and list of the course and everything,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: and they were like, wow, you should do know that.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Specific goes, yeah, if you want end a one thousand
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: bucks you would know it too. Most of everyone before
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: that was five thousand. Oh wow, and he's like, you know,
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: he's a golf pro to public course. It's a very
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: nice public course. Put a public course, so it's pretty cool.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: I ended up betting him to finish top ten. He didn't.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Oh I know, I know, I know. I bet him
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: to finish top ten, and then the last day I
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: bet Scheffler to come back and win it.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about doing Scheffler.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Well, good thing he didn't.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: He didn't not Brooks would blow it at some point,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: so did I.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: And I put one hundred bucks to win, like seven
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars, eight hundred bucks, and for a second I
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, here we go, Scottie. He started doing it,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: and then he didn't do it.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: No, any do it.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: But you know, I don't really like the courses when
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: they grow the freaking rough that long.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: The first three days were tough to watch, especially Friday
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: and Saturday. I think there was a lot of rain,
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: and I was like, this isn't good golf.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: The guys are frustrated, Like the nineties NBA, A lot
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: of defense people running into each other like it wasn't fun.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: It's like whenever defensive backs could hit wide receivers all
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: the time anywhere and not get past it. No, I
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: like to watch finess. I like to see points scored.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: I like to see balls on.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: The green, not in the rough.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: No, I don't care if they go on the rough.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: But and there should be a slight penalty, not strokes,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: but you are it's a rough, little hard hit, not
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: the freaking weeds.
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: Did you see spiez shot out of the sand where
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: he put it over out of bounds and he was
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: all pissed off and he was like yelling at the
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: judge that.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: I mean it was great. I saw one where he's
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: like hit a f and iron good, just that one.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I sent it to Eddie, so he obviously didn't have
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: a great here it is no, this is from the
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: tea box.
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna play this. He canna play about the fur Mike, Yeah.

  Speaker 2: Nance goes. I don't think you like that one. That's great,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: that's funny, that's great. No, I didn't see the sand thing.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his caddy, he was in the bunker right off
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: the green and he smacked it and it went out abound.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: We don't even know where the ball went lost. It
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: went out of bounds. And then so he had had
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: another one and the judge was telling him where he
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: had to lie and going over all the rules and
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: he was just so pissed off. And his caty he's like,
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: all right, dude, let's go, like get it together, let's go.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: And then he hits a great shot.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: I guess they've been together long enough he can do that. Yeah.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I like Jordan. I played golf with him twice, hung
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: with am a little bit. Really nice guy. I never
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: seen him like what E fan, But it's hilarious.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: John Ron was a little pissed off to you.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: It's you have mics everywhere now, but still I think
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I would still have the I would like to to
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: be able to let it go like that and like
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: that's really cool. It just shows he's human when he
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: plays golf. I like it because that's how we all feel.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: There's a clip of Charles Barkley where he's playing golf
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: and he hits and he goes you. He messes up,
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: and he's like you fat mother, talking to himself, and
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I felt that. I must if I can
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: find that. It's so funny. But I like him. When
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: these world class athletes suck for a minute, I think
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: I found it. He's talking to himself hilarious.
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that's what's I just call myself an idiot
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: every time.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just so, I just get quiet. I'm just sad.

  Speaker 2: I've been on a struggle bus lately, but I think
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: I got I'm feeling pretty good about where I am now.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time thinking about.
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: It late nights.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just grinding teeth because of it. I go through
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: bad ruts playing golf where I just like lose it completely,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: where I'm like, which way did my hands go? Elbow's been?

• 59:57
  Speaker 2: we didn't play well, we went back and played we won.

  Speaker 2: in from the club, and Kobe's like, I'm going to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: the gym, and they were like, god, daangn it. So
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: they started going to the gym. It is great. I
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: didn't I thought it would be good just because I'm
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: sports fan. It was great. The Russia. I didn't even
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: know about the Russia. The United States maybe like seventy six,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: seventy four. I don't know where they put three seconds
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: back on the clock after the US wins the game.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that either until I watched that and.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Doug Collins makes the free throws to win the game,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, they're like, no, no, Bob,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: even though it's over, put time back on the clock.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: They chunk in. The Russia's big man scores and wins
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: the gold medal. Yeah, I had no idea that was
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: the thing, and its crooked as crab. That's bull crab.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: In the US, I wouldn't happen, No, because we had
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: achieved America. It's really good. I can't say enough about it.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: I'm never a big Kobe game. I understood, I appreciated,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: but man, after watching Redeemed Team, like I really understood
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: and appreciated, and they didn't make him soft, like, oh,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: you'd really loved Kobe. They were like, nobody liked Kobe.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: He's not that kind of guy. But I guess I
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: just saw what my intentions and goals always are. Just
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: freaking go to work and outwork everybody and eventually it'll
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: shake out. And if it hasn't shaken out yet, I
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: just haven't worked enough and for long enough time. It's great.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: I recommend it was really, really, really great. The Redeem
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Team on Netflix only been out of year. I guess,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: per Kevin, you made the one that came out in
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. Yes, Kevin, I'm just telling y'all
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: liked it.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: Making sure we're talking about the same one here.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: A right, final thoughts, what if, say, Kevin, you got okay?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: This is how I know I'm getting older, right, and
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: getting old. I was talking to read about this a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: little bit ago. And I work out five to six
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: days a week, keep in good shape, do all kinds
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: differ stuf, flifting weights, party or whatever. And I'm out
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: at the pool yesterday and I'm just laying there and
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: getting some sun and I go to just turn positions,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: you know, from being on my back to the stomach,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: and I pulled something in my back, and I think
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: to myself, what does how does this something like this happen?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's inactivity more than old. What do you
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: mean because when you were younger, you were doing more
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: constantly physically. I think if you just stayed going to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: the same constant level, you'd still be fine. But obviously
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: you've slowed down a little bit, even if you work
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: out five or six days a week. I think inactivity
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: more than old because you're not old. Well you thirty two? Shoot,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: I got turds old and you and that toilet over
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: the house.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: I just felt like, really, just turning over, this is
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: gonna happen.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: What's gonna happen, though, is you're not gonna heal as
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: fast because I still go extremely hard as well. And
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: when something gets hurt, it pisses me off because I
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: know it's gonna be a long time before it's back
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: to normal. And you ain't seen anything yet, and I
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: haven't seen anything yet either, Like I just know what
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: I'm dealing with now. In ten years, I'll be like, man,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: I wish i'd really appreciated what I was then. That's
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: the hardest part about being athletic and getting older or
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: still going hard is that when you do, like like
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: tweak something or it just doesn't go away. It's almost
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: like a birthmark, like my shoulder that I heard on
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars. It's just basically a birth mark.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: Now I've heard it, I've heard it again and again
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: and again. It would just well not I've let done therapy,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: I've done everything. It is what it is. It's like
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: my face might be ugly, but it's mine. Read run
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: a video over there. What do you got? Get a thought?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: I played thirty six holes yesterday and I regretted. My
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: body hurts.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: I'm chafed in areas that should not be chafed.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 6: It was rough, and so I think if I would
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 6: have started earlier, it would have been okay.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: But we didn't start until like noon. So but where
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: did you play thirty six holes?
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 6: It was u what was it called twelve stones up
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: in Goodlets Fidde. So a normal course, normal course, Yeah
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 6: it was. I mean yeah, it was a long course too.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: There was like four or five par fives and it
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 6: was a beautiful course. Though it's like superhealy, but I'm hurting.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 6: Why the chafing of the soreness, the chafing of the chafing,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 6: the soreness from working out for the first time and forever.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: But the chase. But you worked out other than the
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: golf course.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I worked out on Saturday.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: That's probably a big part of yeah, for sure.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: And then you go golf.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: It's like I'm play thirty six of I'm so hard, Okay,

• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: ten years, just with almost every like Kevin, I know
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: one of us, but you have you have a team involved, right,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: I don't have a team. I'm talking about this as
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: a casual now more than casual, but not super die
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: hard NBA, Like I have been be a Sunday ticket
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: and I watched that. But this is the most fun
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: I've ever had watched the playoffs. Every team has a
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: storyline all most of all the series have been really good.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: We're at a place now where they're not. They're both
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: three to zero, but you're still invested because it's Lebron
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: and it's Tatum, so shout out NBA. Even it's the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: most dramatic I've ever seen. The ping pong ball with Yeah,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: now you've messed me up. I had to say, I've
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: never messed up until you said that. So and one
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: of my buddies, Steve, is a huge Spurs fan, and
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: I was at dinner when they did the ping pong ball.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: They got it, they did the card. I guess we
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: didn't see the ping pong ball was all the car
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: flipped and so I didn't watch it live because I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: don't care. And then I get a voice text and
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: I hit it and it's just him going ah like
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: yelling it was him because he's a dire Spurs fan
