2:39
Is hold on to the ground, arrow. I feel like you take a heroic
2:43
dose of mushrooms and now you're just, you know, you're along for
2:46
the ride, baby. If it was mushrooms I would have
2:49
felt a lot better than I did. Man, I I'm telling you, I've
2:52
never thrown up like that before.
2:55
Dude, I filled. The bowls, mushrooms.
2:57
You'd be licking the microphone. I didn't even eat anything.
3:00
I didn't even eat anything and I was throwing up as much as I
3:03
was. I shut the door.
3:04
I was. No applesauce, no chicken.
3:07
No, dude, I want to tell you guys something.
3:10
I've been really, really good. Just so everybody knows, I've
3:13
been dieting. My A1C was up.
3:15
I am down to 204 lbs. I lost 27 lbs.
3:21
Just so you guys understand what I've.
3:23
Done. I've lost 27 lbs.
3:26
I've been really, really good. No applesauce.
3:29
I haven't had a sugar drink in like 10 1/2 weeks.
3:33
It's almost 11 weeks. I did a cold Turkey.
3:36
Baby and me and fish were going back and forth.
3:38
You got to do it. You got to do it.
3:40
And I did it. So guess what?
3:41
I look good. Maybe that's the reason why I
3:44
have. No, it's I'm just kidding.
3:45
Anyways, go ahead. I'm sorry.
3:46
No, it's great. I'm happy.
3:47
I'm happy to hear you're healthy, you're back.
3:49
Hold on to the earth. I got a couple couple stories,
3:54
some headlines here today. The Pirates are promoting Bubba
3:57
Chandler. That's baseballs top pitching
4:00
prospect there. He's 22 years old and he's
4:04
getting his first call up. He's a former two way prospect
4:07
who committed fully to pitching. He, I don't know if you know
4:13
much about him, but high octane fastball, he throws in the upper
4:17
90s, has a pretty good slider. He's starting to get a feel for
4:21
a change up. And this is for the Pittsburgh
4:23
Pirates. Obviously, he hopes the Pirates
4:25
hope that he could spark some excitement in an otherwise
4:29
turmoil year here as they are franchise building around young
4:35
talent. But the kid is 22 years old.
4:38
Jabba, when did you get called up?
4:42
Three months. I was 2020 or 21, one of the
4:45
two. OK, obviously you sparked a lot
4:49
of excitement in Yankees fans as you know, being the outspoken
4:55
player and person that you were and are.
4:58
What kind of what kind of things can he expect in his first call
5:02
up? I mean, obviously we're trying
5:04
to get excitement from the fans. We know he's a top tier talent.
5:07
He, you know, he brings a lot of talent.
5:08
He's going to be brings a lot of heat with this fastball.
5:11
He's got a good slider. I got called up a little later.
5:16
I think I was 24, so not too much older than he was.
5:19
But I kind of, you know, I was maybe a little more mature.
5:22
But you coming up as a 20 year old, 21 year old, and this guy
5:25
coming up as a 22 year old, what sort of things can he expect and
5:29
what should he do if you were to give him advice right now?
5:32
I honestly my best advice would be look at the dude in the
5:35
clubhouse to talk to Paul. He's gone through it.
5:38
He's he's going to have that obviously Paul being a little
5:43
bit more of a household name, but you got to rely on those
5:45
guys that, you know, have been there and and did it in that
5:49
market. So they can kind of understand
5:51
that. And I think that's that's your
5:53
best bet going in And obviously with, you know, the accolades to
5:58
get there and, and to be that prospect, but to kind of have
6:01
that transfer of, OK, this is this ain't AAA anymore and, and
6:05
rely on Paul and, you know, use him as a crutch.
6:08
Talk to, I would say Bee is open minded and don't feel like any
6:13
question is stupid when you get to that point because I get it's
6:17
it's sometimes scary, probably not as scary in that clubhouse
6:21
as it is in some older clubhouses where those guys have
6:25
been there. So I think he's in a good
6:27
situation just because that it is a bunch of younger guys to
6:31
where it is. He doesn't feel like such an
6:33
outcast. I was reading a little bit about
6:35
the kid and his high school coach said that he is John
6:39
Smoltz. He's that type of pitcher.
6:41
He throws like John Smoltz. He's the number one.
6:45
Yeah, yeah, he's he's baseball's top pitching prospect.
6:49
Were you, John? Were you the top pitch?
6:51
Baseball's top pitching prospect.
6:53
But well they switched me to reliever so it changed like the
6:57
Futures Game I had best rated best fastball or whatever from.
7:00
Baseball. So you were one of the pop
7:01
braided. Yeah, Yeah, we got called up.
7:04
Here's a here's Is there a pressure for expectations?
7:08
You're being labeled baseball's top pitching prospects.
7:11
Can you? You're going to be, there's
7:14
going to be some scrutiny. Well, there's going to be even
7:17
more too, when you got that dude sitting in your clubhouse too.
7:22
But also where I think it's not as much scrutiny or as much like
7:29
pressure. There's no such thing as
7:30
pressure to me. You're getting paid hundreds and
7:32
millions of dollars to throw a baseball that that's not
7:34
pressure. Pressure is when you come home,
7:36
the lights are off and you can't pay your bills.
7:38
That's pressure. Throwing a baseball is not
7:40
pressure. If you can't tell me that it is,
7:42
right? But I think for him being the
7:45
situation that the Pirates are in, it's he's just going to come
7:48
in and get a feel and get his feet wet.
7:50
It's not necessarily, hey, you're coming in to save the
7:53
season. He's going to come in, get the
7:55
pace of the game, the tempo of the game, because people don't
7:58
understand how much faster the game is.
8:00
When you get to the big leagues, everybody obviously has pitch
8:04
clock or whatever, but the game just moves at a different pace
8:07
and you don't really realize it as you're going up until you get
8:11
to the big leagues. And then you go back down to
8:13
like, make like a rehab start and you're like, dude, I'm about
8:15
to fall asleep. Yeah, it's crazy.
8:18
The lights are not as bright, that's for sure.
8:20
But there's going to be an adjustment period for him and
8:22
for Arrow and Speedy. Have there been any any
8:25
prospects with Arrow with in New York and Speedy with the Mets
8:28
that you have followed and have been actually excited about
8:31
'cause I got to imagine some of the Pittsburgh Pirates like
8:33
faithful have followed this kid from draft day all the way to
8:37
now making his Major League debut.
8:39
Is there anybody that you followed per SE with the Yankees
8:42
are speedy with you with the Mets that you have followed like
8:44
and have just been like this is the guy like Arrow you?
8:46
You love the Gremlin, like and he's going to be playing.
8:49
I don't you've. Followed him.
8:51
You have met him. You are.
8:52
You are on his balls. You love him.
8:54
I was never on his balls. I never wanted to be around him
8:58
and everything. Ever since he spoke and he said
9:00
the stupid things that came out of his mouth at the Heisman
9:02
Trophy, I didn't want to hear what he had to say.
9:04
I didn't want him on my. Team did you say busted balls
9:07
about 17 times last time so it's.
9:09
True, he was busting balls because he's all about ball
9:12
busting. Honestly, the two guys that
9:14
really stuck stuck out to me in those year in in the earlier
9:18
years was Philip, Phil Hughes and Jabba Chamberlain.
9:22
It was Phil Hughes and Jabba Chamberlain.
9:24
Those were the two guys that I was reading about and I got a
9:27
chance to watch these guys develop.
9:29
And be called. Up and and and both guys were
9:32
being compared to each other. So is Ian Kennedy when these
9:35
three guys were first round talents and they were being
9:37
compared with one another. But there was one thing that I
9:40
knew about Jabba Chamberlain that really thought when, when
9:44
Jabba, when we interviewed Jabba and I told Jabba what I liked
9:46
about him was his personality going on the field and doing the
9:49
things that he did, showing enthusiasm.
9:52
Philip Hughes was quiet. He didn't really do anything.
9:54
And he was really just like mellow and, and laid back.
9:58
When I watched Jabba Chamberlain, everything,
10:00
everything that he threw, he was throwing with force and, and you
10:03
know, pizzazz. That's what I want to see.
10:05
I want to see those kind of guys.
10:06
I want to see guys that are going to bring, bring the fans
10:09
to, to that level. And, and that's, that's the guy
10:12
that I'm not trying to blow your head up, Jabba, but you were the
10:16
guy. You were the guy that really
10:17
stood out to me in in the younger, in the younger years of
10:22
what I followed the New York Yankees in in the early 2000s.
10:25
So I would say you Speedy. So I would, I would say for the
10:29
Mets, a lot of the times with the Mets, because they really
10:31
relied on their homegrown pitching a lot.
10:33
I think Matt Harvey probably had the biggest hype that I remember
10:36
that I can remember for sure. They've tracked, they tracked
10:39
him for like 2 years before he even came up.
10:42
And like it was always because the Mets were so bad at that
10:44
time. It was like, when is he going to
10:45
come up? When is this like pitching
10:46
revolution was going to start Syndergaard?
10:49
Zach Wheeler. I knew when they traded for Zach
10:51
Wheeler. Zach Wheeler.
10:52
Didn't have that same level of hype.
10:53
He was, he was a he was a first round talent by the Giants.
10:57
And the way Matt Harvey. Did he was traded for Carlos?
10:59
Beltre No, no, no. As a prospect, he was rated.
11:02
Just as high, I knew Zach Wheeler was going.
11:04
To be spent from the like the media.
11:06
I think what Goody's getting at is more of the media coverage
11:08
standpoint. Matt Harvey, he.
11:09
Was quiet the two guys. Harvey Matt Harvey injected
11:14
excitement in the fan base in for the New York.
11:17
I was actually he was somebody. He I didn't even watch baseball
11:20
when I got Tommy John, I like refused to watch it.
11:22
I just like was bitter towards it because I was out not
11:25
playing. He was the one pitcher of all.
11:28
I didn't even watch the Yankees. I didn't watch anything.
11:29
He was the one pitcher that I turned on to watch because that
11:32
dude was an absolute. Freaking yeah.
11:34
I was actually at the game that he homered and Citi fielded.
11:38
All right, we don't care. I was.
11:40
Feeling goody. I don't want to hear that.
11:42
You at the game when his nose started bleeding after like the
11:45
6th ring? Yeah, I wonder why.
11:46
I wonder why? Why his nose was bleeding?
11:50
Well, powder. Little powder, little.
11:53
Powder, We'll move on. We'll move on.
11:54
We'll move on to the. Phillies.
11:57
We don't want to trash that Harvey.
11:58
I actually I never met the guy. But I could do.
12:01
He pitched and respected the way he played the game.
12:04
So, you know, I love that. I love that during after games
12:08
he was going to clubs, trying to pick up girls, trying to find
12:11
some hot ladies, as Nathan would say.
12:14
I mean, trying to tie a leash to them and doing all the things
12:17
that he was doing and smoking cigarettes, lots and lots of
12:21
cigarettes. Great job Matt, we love you.
12:23
Congratulations, the Derek Jeter wannabe.
12:26
Yeah, showed up and showed out until you couldn't.
12:28
Yes, but let's move on to the Phillies.
12:29
The Phillies have sweeped the Mariners in a store of fashion.
12:31
The Phillies dominated Seattle with their pitching and their
12:34
hitting. They're starting combined for 34
12:36
strikeouts in three games while the offense produced 48 hits.
12:40
The sweeps comes just as Ace. Who is it?
12:44
Who's there? Ace Zach.
12:45
Wheeler, Java, You make me laugh.
12:47
Zach Wheeler hit the IL, showing the team's depth and resilience.
12:53
Here we go depth. The rotation depth is proving
12:56
strong without their ace. So we know that they're going to
12:59
be loaded. They we always know that they
13:01
can pitch. They have a former Yankee as
13:03
their pitching coach, former manager to Rob Thompson, Caleb
13:07
Kothams, their pitching coach job, I think play with him.
13:09
I played with him as well. We know that they can hit.
13:12
Their offense is legit. They had 48.
13:14
Kevin Long. Kevin Long was the Yankees
13:16
hitting coach. K long as well.
13:18
Yeah, there you go. We, they just, if you can coach
13:21
in New York, they a lot of teams will poach coaches and players,
13:25
but a lot of coaches get pushed away from, from the New York
13:28
Yankees because they built such a good staff.
13:30
Now, obviously, obviously there's a, there's a lot of
13:34
turmoil going on right now with Aaron Boone.
13:36
We know that you've covered that, you know, crazy.
13:38
But speaking solely on the Phillies, this is a huge, huge
13:43
historic performance in a, in a momentum getter.
13:45
Where do you see them? Where do you see them ending?
13:50
I don't remember who you had in the World Series.
13:52
I had them all this year. At the start of the year.
13:54
Who did you have, Speedy? I had the I had the Phillies
13:56
winning it all against Kansas City.
13:57
I will be wrong on the Royals, but they were my pick for a
14:01
reason. Because I think a lot of the
14:03
like systemic things, what we talked about earlier with our
14:05
with our guest and Kyle Peterson with the Brewers, like sometimes
14:08
like types of like pitching philosophies like that with the
14:10
Brewers, they didn't work in the postseason.
14:12
And the Dodgers, I mean, they got they got it to work last
14:14
year, but how much can they do with all the injuries they have?
14:16
The Phillies are the ones that can rely on like a raw process
14:18
with their players a lot more. I think I had the Rangers in the
14:21
World Series this year, didn't I have the Rangers, the Texas
14:24
Rangers. The Rangers I'm trying to
14:26
remember in the National. I, I had the Texas Rangers.
14:29
I I'm. I think I heard the Reds.
14:32
No, I didn't have the Reds. Were you not?
14:35
I never thought I knew the Reds were never making the playoffs.
14:38
By the way, how are your Reds doing now, buddy?
14:42
How are your Reds doing now? I wouldn't say they're my Reds.
14:45
I'm just. Saying you're the one that told
14:47
me the Reds are making the playoffs.
14:49
You and Jabba were trying to sell me that the Reds were
14:53
making the playoffs. I think you said the.
14:54
Dodgers would go back and that. I think you were the.
14:56
Rangers, I think. I think it was the.
14:58
One time to implement what he does.
15:00
Trust me, just trust the process.
15:02
The first season's going to be a little rocky, it's going to be a
15:04
little shaky, but things will iron out.
15:05
He took the Red Sox to the World Series and won it.
15:07
Took Cleveland to the World Series, Lost it, and by a Homer.
15:12
Do you believe in a tooth fairy? Why are you getting goody?
15:18
A question. Why are you getting goody A
15:20
question that could lead to a conspiracy theory.
15:23
Yo, we got to wrap this. We got to get going dawg,
15:28
because I am the tooth fairy. Hey, don't.
15:33
Hey, as a tooth fairy and as the two dads here don't mess up like
15:37
I did, man. I panicked.
15:41
It happened. He got ready for bed.
15:43
Like he was brushing his teeth and fell out.
15:45
So it was like right at the end of the night and I'm like, shit,
15:49
I don't know if I have any money.
15:51
That's what I'm saying bro. And I looked and I only had 100.
15:56
No chance. Did you slip 100 under that?
15:59
And I went a don't make that mistake.
16:01
I had to use what? Was I going to leave an IOU to
16:05
my freaking? Five year old.
16:08
He's like, yeah. Don't make that mistake.
16:10
I I've literally I wanted. To know a set of teeth you got
16:13
there. We.
16:15
Gave him 10 bucks for one of his top teeth and then like he lost
16:19
like a little 1 and I gave him like, I don't know, 4 bucks, 32,
16:22
you know, somewhere like that. And he's like 4 bucks.
16:26
Hell is this? And we're like, I forgot that
16:29
one of the nights and I'm like, I don't know, maybe the tooth
16:31
fairy couldn't find it. Dude, I fell asleep on a couch.
16:34
Oh. I I, my father, my, my father
16:38
when I was 12 years old. And I I knew it was my father
16:41
because he left. He didn't leave any money.
16:43
He left a cracker in a bag. OK, That's what my father did to
16:47
me. All right, true story.
16:51
No, But I was so happy. I was so excited to wake up and
16:55
to go onto my pillow and I see a bag, a plastic bag.
16:58
And I'm like, oh, I wonder what's in it?
17:00
Bag of bulls. It was a Ritz cracker, a Ritz
17:03
cracker, ladies and gentlemen, that's what I got from one of my
17:07
from my one of my teeth. So.
17:09
See, now they're my molars. Yeah.
17:10
You know, So that's pressure. Yeah.
17:12
Pressure, yeah. Thank you your.
17:14
Dad was feeling it. Your dad was feeling.
17:16
It yeah, but it was he may rest in peace.
17:19
I miss you, Dad. My biggest thing with the
17:20
Phillies, are they peaking too early like we're are we peaking
17:23
too early here in August or are they going to be able to sustain
17:25
this? I don't think they're going to
17:26
be able to sustain this throughout the rest of the year,
17:27
but stranger things have happened, so we'll see.
17:30
They're a very streaky team all the time anyway.
17:32
Like when they when they went to the World Series, they were hot
17:34
and then they were really cold like in August and then got hot
17:36
again and then the year after they were the opposite.
17:39
So they just do everything in clusters.
17:41
And he added something so very special to the everything at the
17:44
end of the year. Stranger things, the final
17:46
season is coming out. I'm excited.
17:49
I'm so. Excited.
17:50
Is it the final season? Final season, final season.
17:53
I've been waiting for like 5 years for this to come out.
17:56
It's it's. Going to be like freaking old.
17:59
Yeah, it's been a long, long time.
18:00
I'm so excited. You got to check out the check
18:04
out the YouTube trailer. It's fantastic.
18:06
I'm so. Excited.
18:07
What are they going to be scared of now?
18:08
They've seen it all, they said. What?
18:10
What was that thing called they saw there?
18:11
The Greenhead. Yeah, Jabba's the the bad guy in
18:16
the in the final tag right there.
18:18
And they're all going to be scared of the new Tooth Fairy,
18:21
Nick Goody. Geez, what?
18:22
Do. I got to be the scary one, all
18:26
right. I'll be the scary.
18:27
One you just, you paint me green, I'll be the Grinch.
18:31
Now now goody the real question is, is your alter ego is the
18:34
tooth fairy that MU two you're searching for?
18:37
Oh my gosh, if any of the listeners have a first edition
18:40
shining MU two hit up Daba in the mouth.
18:43
I got some some gear to trade you.
18:44
Oh. God, there he goes, there he
18:47
goes with. These cards for a shot in MU 2
18:50
for a minute bro, I'm willing to offer.
18:53
Hey, did you guys go to the card show and sell any cards?
18:56
No, I didn't get to make it, bro.
18:57
I didn't get to make it. Some stuff happened and I just,
19:00
I couldn't get down there. So I ended up buying.
19:03
I ended up selling some textbooks back and bought by
19:07
selling a card. He was like super stoked.
19:08
So I got him a card. But you know, it is, it's
19:11
neither here or there. All right, last one on the list
19:13
here. I think Arrow actually had the
19:15
Astros winning the World Series, who just got swept by the
19:18
Tigers. Never.
19:18
I think it's Houston out of the. Playoffs, I'm pretty sure.
19:24
Never had the Astros? Never Valdez gave up six runs in
19:27
the first inning. OK, that happens to anybody
19:31
else. That happens to you.
19:32
What was? I can't even think of Bubba, the
19:38
guy we just talking about for the parts.
19:39
I'm Bubba. We'll see you, kid.
19:42
We'll see you. He's getting optioned all right,
19:44
but he gave up. He gave up six runs in the first
19:47
inning and Houston. Houston's offense, it was
19:52
usually they're pretty good. They're a solid team, straight
19:54
up. Offense, I got it.
19:58
Yeah. All right, all right.
19:59
Well, it is what it is, right? So it's just a wake up call,
20:02
like a sweep could could force some some roster or some
20:07
strategic adjustments within the front office before their season
20:12
gets absolutely capped. Or are they going to allow their
20:15
younger players to get some looks such as like the Pirates
20:18
we talked about, they're going to be able to call some guys up.
20:21
You know, they have a left-handed pitcher that I know,
20:23
Colton Gordon, he's made his debut this year.
20:25
He's pitching fine. I mean, he's serviceable.
20:28
I really like him. I hope he does extremely well.
20:30
But like, are we going to get extended looks from rookies?
20:34
What do you think? This.
20:35
Late is it's definitely a tough dilemma because you want them to
20:38
get that kind of because the Astros have been stable for a
20:40
while. You want them to get that kind
20:41
of like later season experience. I mean, throwing them in the
20:44
fire, you never know. But I think the way that the
20:46
Astros pitching stalls enough depth, I don't think you're
20:48
really forcing anything on them. So trying to ease them in might
20:51
not be the worst thing. The hitting is where it's more
20:54
questionable with Houston, I think depth wise for the
20:56
postseason, that was the thing that concerned me at the start
20:58
of the year. But they, like you said, goody
20:59
they've been better than. Expected.
21:00
It doesn't matter. Houston's not going to the World
21:02
Series. I think they have pitching
21:05
staff. I don't think they have enough
21:06
bats and we're gonna. See, very dismal is that if that
21:10
they don't have debt and their health is always a concern there
21:13
in Houston. And the fact that they brought
21:17
Korea back to play third, I mean, they're gonna be haunting
21:20
that because they still, they still got to pay them.
21:23
And what do they have three years left on that contract?
21:26
Good luck on that. I mean Houston.
21:29
Twins are paying most of it. They're still they're still
21:32
paying something out of it. They're not paying all of.
21:34
It they played paid the most out of the teams the Twins tried to
21:36
trade with them. I mean, how to me, you, you have
21:40
to deal with that for three years.
21:42
And right now, Houston needs the power in their lineup and they
21:46
don't have any. So I, I just, there's no way
21:49
Houston's winning the World Series.
21:51
I don't even see if they're a wild card team.
21:53
They're going to be knocked out in the wild card game.
21:55
They have great pitching pitching wins.
21:56
Champions Joe Espada has anything up his sleeve.
21:58
No, no, no, not a chance in hell.
22:02
I mean, they're pitching. Their pitching's up and down.
22:05
Valdez has been inconsistent. Obviously it raises some
22:07
concerns for the rotation, but he's the guy.
22:10
He's the go to guy for them. So you know, we talk about a
22:15
Paul schemes, we talk about somebody in the clubhouse so you
22:17
can watch. But if the guy's not pitching
22:18
right, I mean, he still is about this.
22:21
Like, I mean, he's still going to get the job done.
22:22
But obviously with their lineup and their offense, that's what I
22:25
think is going to take the biggest hit.
22:27
I don't foresee them maybe, maybe in September, they'll call
22:30
up some of their call ups and get it, get some looks at
22:34
younger guys. But that's at least that's what
22:38
the Yankees did about every September.
22:42
They would just load the roster, call up all 40 guys and then
22:45
basically just when we're up by 7, down by 7, throw in the
22:48
rookies and kind of get their feet wet.
22:50
So maybe the Astros do that, give their their heavy hitters a
22:52
blow. But I don't know, we'll see.
22:55
And then obviously the hater haters deal that we spoke last
22:59
week about, we'll see what ends up happening with that.
23:02
They said at least three weeks, right?
23:05
Yeah, but three-week can be season ending.
23:09
Yeah, it could be. Or it could be 3, it could be 3
23:12
weeks and then not, you know, he gets a couple PRP, he gets a PRP
23:15
shot and some stem cells and baby got stuck in his shoulder
23:18
and next thing you know he's coming back on 100.
23:20
So you never know. They're doomed.
23:22
That's all I'm going to say. Absolutely doomed, ladies and
23:25
gentlemen. Houston's good.
23:27
That's right. That's the perfect picture for
23:29
goodie right there. Wonderful.
23:31
The tooth fairy, or whatever tooth fairy are.
23:34
Mr. Nick Goodier, right, I got to.
23:37
Figure out I got to do that, dude.
23:39
Good call, man. I don't even know how that we
23:41
got onto that subject, but that was freaking.
23:44
Funny you want me to pat myself on the back.
23:47
Maybe it was my Vertigo. I don't.
23:48
Know we need nothing to make a tooth fairy drop so Goody could
23:51
use it for his fantasy name. I've been hearing a lot of
23:53
different things today. I've been hearing drops, loads,
23:57
rubbing. I mean, this has been a really
23:59
disgusting show, ladies and gentlemen.
24:01
You're the one over here talking about busting balls.
24:03
I first of all, I never said busting balls.
24:07
I said ball busting. That's what I said.
24:09
That's all I said. I didn't say busting balls, I
24:12
said ball busting and. As far as busting your balls?
24:15
Yeah, well, guess what, ladies and gentlemen, we have a new
24:18
king. I don't know why we call this
24:21
next segment King of the Hill. Here's the King of the Hill.
24:26
This, Bobby, is the Beltline. You never ever hit below that.
24:30
Not that kind of King of the hill, you dumb ready.
24:32
Are you ready? This is King of the Hill.
24:36
Smell my ass. I need Brittany also.
24:39
Smell my ass. Everybody welcome.
24:42
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Whoa whoa, don't even.
24:45
Why is why we got Tubby up there with the helmet on.
24:50
Let's just face hobby, I'm not making the new graphics.
24:52
Hobby. You just call me hobby.
24:55
You win again, maybe I will. Nick Goody is first week
24:59
defending his crown. Errol Marks is going to have to
25:03
play down below. I think we're going to get Aaron
25:05
in as well to play King of the Hill.
25:09
First round peasant fight, four people battle it out to get to
25:12
the joust decided by King Goody over here to who will face off
25:17
against the King for a chance at the crown where it'll be a
25:21
democratic vote to see who keeps it.
25:23
Are you boys ready to? Play king of the hill.
25:26
If you're the king, you don't have to play anything but the
25:29
final round, you get a, you get a last slick, don't you?
25:32
Is that how we? I'm good, I'm chilling, I'm I
25:35
get the vote. That that will give fish time.
25:36
To work? Isn't that the way it goes?
25:38
I mean, seriously. That that'll be get Fish plenty
25:41
of time to work on the hybrid graphic of the Tooth Fairy and
25:44
King together. So wait a second.
25:46
I only get like 3 free AI things a day speedy.
25:50
But isn't that the way it goes? You're going to make it.
25:53
Get GPT to make a king tooth fairy hybrid.
25:58
All right, we got our guys in. Let's play King of the Hill
26:01
first round. Here it is.
26:05
We've got best managers of all time.
26:10
Yes, this goes all the way back to the days of I guess the Civil
26:15
War when the game was created by Abner Doubleday.
26:20
I don't know if he was a manager, he was probably just AI
26:22
think he was a Major General actually, but he did invent
26:25
baseball, so they say. So anything from that point in
26:27
time to today, Best leaders of a franchise.
26:33
Let's start it off here on King of the Hill.
26:36
Going first will be Speedy, then Aaron Errol, then Jabba for two.
26:40
Speedy All right, I'll start off with the Yankees manager of the
26:43
50s Joe McCarthy won I believe 5 World Series in that span and
26:47
was the winningest manager in Yankee history for a lot of a
26:50
lot of that time and obviously coached a lot of great players.
26:53
But again, that was a pre, pre free agency or it wasn't like
26:56
George Seinbrenner was spending crazy then.
26:57
So you have to really develop those players you make, make the
27:00
good trades and end up creating it.
27:02
Probably the second Yankee dynasty after the Beirut era,
27:05
but still did it for a very long time.
27:07
Aaron, I'm. Also going to stay with the
27:10
Yankees. I'm going to go Casey Stangle,
27:12
obviously, again, it's it's PCs John McCarthy, like Speedy just
27:17
mentioned with the early Yankees.
27:18
But again, so many World Series championships, so many good
27:21
teams, I'm going to stick with that.
27:23
Carol, I'm gonna go with Tony Larussa.
27:25
Won three World Series, obviously 11 with the.
27:28
We won a couple with Saint Louis and you also won with the A's,
27:32
the Oakland Athletics. That's the guy I'm going with,
27:34
Tony Larussa. And Jabba for two.
27:40
I'm going way back to and I just I played in this World Series,
27:44
so I'm gonna have to go. Connie Mack, obviously all time
27:48
leader started, you know, as as a baseball player and you know,
27:53
they they always say the best managers are catchers.
27:55
And he happened to be a catcher too.
27:59
And now it's it's crazy to think how long he managed and and what
28:03
he meant to the game of baseball.
28:04
And obviously there's still a World Series named after him.
28:07
So he is definitely on my list. And I'm I'm going to be I'm
28:12
going to be that guy. I'm going to have to go Bobby
28:13
Cox because I born and bred a Braves fan and the man leads and
28:19
as as one of the best to ever get thrown out.
28:21
I don't know who was better, him or Earl Weaver, but Bobby and
28:25
all the things, 15 division championships, obviously he was
28:28
the GMB four. He was the one that actually
28:30
drafted Chipper Jones. He was in the front office when
28:32
that happened, when they didn't want to take him.
28:35
And he's got a World Series under his belt and he always
28:37
wore spikes, and that's just something that is just real.
28:41
Errol. All right, I'm going to go with
28:44
Bruce Bocci. I mean, Bruce Bocci, he he's
28:47
won, he's gone. He's taking 2, two teams to
28:50
World Series and one. He's taking three teams to the
28:52
World Series and one and three teams to the World Series and
28:57
two teams that he's won with. There's not many play, many
29:00
managers that's ever won with two teams in the World Series
29:04
and and actually taking three teams to the World Series.
29:06
So I'm going to go with Bruce Bocci.
29:09
Aaron, I'm. Going to go with Tommy Lasorda.
29:12
Obviously been with the Dodgers for such a long time, bringing
29:15
them to the World Series twice in in the 70s and twice in the
29:18
80s, losing 1 and then obviously winning 88 and being with, like
29:21
I said, doing things for such a long time.
29:24
Take the time. Speedy for two.
29:27
I'll go with Sparky Anderson managing the Big Red Machine
29:30
back in the 70s who won the three World Series there was one
29:33
of the top 10 winningest managers in that in that time
29:36
period as well, winning percentage wise.
29:38
So definitely Sparky Anderson was in baseball for a very long
29:41
time as well. And another guy that was in
29:42
baseball for a very long time is too.
29:43
That was Dusty Baker, 8th all time in wins.
29:45
Obviously taking many different teams to the many different
29:49
teams to the playoffs. Took him a while to win the
29:50
World Series, which probably the only thing against him, but
29:52
still one of the best player managers, one of the best guys
29:56
in baseball. That we've seen for a long time,
29:58
Aaron. Taking both of my picks, you
30:01
know I'm going to stick in Mara. I'm going to go with Terry
30:03
Francona. He's probably going to end up
30:05
with what being one of the best managers in baseball once he end
30:07
his ends his tenure, obviously being with the Red Sox in 2004,
30:11
then obviously Cleveland now so many do different and good teams
30:15
he's brought to the to playoffs and to the World Series.
30:17
So I'm gonna stick with Terry. Prenkel Arrow.
30:19
I'm gonna go with Billy Martin, Five time World Series champion.
30:24
He was hired twice by the boss and yeah, he was a little crazy,
30:28
but really stuck out to me as one of the greatest managers of
30:31
all time. So I'm gonna go Billy Martin.
30:33
And Jabba to wrap up the round. I'm going to go the man, the
30:37
myth and the toothpick legend himself.
30:39
And Mr. Dusty Baker, he's already.
30:41
Taken. Who took him?
30:43
Me. Speedy, that was my last.
30:44
Back. Oh, damn you.
30:45
No. So you know what I am actually
30:47
going to go with? It's going to be out there and I
30:53
don't know if it's really going to be.
30:54
I'm going to take Walter Johnson, and he doesn't really
30:58
get the credit that he deserves because he was a hell of a
31:01
pitcher, obviously, but to do the things that he did and on as
31:07
what he chose to do as a man, I'm just making this up because
31:11
I have no idea. So my other two were great
31:16
though. I don't know how Joe Torre's
31:18
name didn't get mentioned in that segment.
31:20
What in God's name, Goody? You're muted Goody's, but I'm
31:23
sure that was awesome. How you freaked out?
31:26
Guys. There was a reason why I didn't
31:28
go with Tori. So I, I got look, I I don't know
31:32
if I would take Tori over Billy Martin.
31:33
I think that's a good point. But goody, you have your own
31:36
criteria that you are completely up to.
31:38
You're the absolute monarch king who's moving on to the joust.
31:43
I like Speedy's picks. I think Speedy's picks are
31:46
great. You brought up, you brought up
31:49
Joe McCarthy, great pick. You brought up Dusty Baker,
31:52
obviously legend in this game. And then your last pick, who was
31:55
your last pick? Sparky Anderson.
31:57
Sparky Anderson. Yeah.
32:00
All right. I like, I like.
32:03
I like Speedy's picks. Aaron.
32:06
I like yours, obviously. Terry Francona.
32:09
You also went with another Yankee.
32:11
Who was your other? You were Casey Stengel.
32:13
Really good picks there. Can't argue with that.
32:15
And then you had another one. Who was your other one?
32:17
Oh, yeah. Tito with the Dodgers.
32:20
Solid arrow. Who were your picks?
32:25
Billy Martin was his last pick. Tony, Larusso and Bruce.
32:29
Bochuso was his first in Boche. Bruce Boche.
32:32
You can't argue with Bruce Boche either.
32:33
And then? He has the biggest head in
32:35
baseball. Jabba, you had the, you had the
32:37
best one with, I mean Connie Mack and you were the last one.
32:40
Connie Mack is probably the one of the the greatest all time
32:43
managers. He did punt on the last 1
32:46
though. Yeah, cuz I'm about to pee on
32:48
myself. All right, we'll get you a
32:50
break, but you solid. Breaks Bobby Clarkson Wearing
32:54
nails is money too. Errol or Aaron?
32:57
Hey, Bobby Cox was was my my my dog.
33:00
All right, I'm going to let you pick this one.
33:04
Fish all. Right.
33:06
I'm going to go with Errol only because you said Tito Francona
33:11
was the coat is currently coaching Cleveland.
33:13
He is coaching Cincinnati. And by the way, the Reds are
33:16
only 1/2 game behind the Mets for the last playoff spot.
33:19
So it's not like they're they they're it's not like they're
33:22
not going to make the playoffs. It's close.
33:24
It's you know, I'm going to, I'm going to hunch down with you
33:26
completely forgot about that. To me the the Reds.
33:29
That's the only thing if I was asked.
33:31
That's why I'm going with Aaron you.
33:32
Forgot no, but I agree. I agree that's.
33:35
All right, Aaron, pop out. Let's go to the joust.
33:38
Sorry, Kane, you can talk. I'm I'm just the the jester.
33:41
Yeah, no, I thought Aaron's picks were fantastic.
33:43
I love it. I love this picks.
33:45
I thought they were great. Actually didn't even catch that.
33:47
But it was a tough between Errol and Aaron.
33:49
I was probably leaning more towards Aaron.
33:51
I didn't catch him say Cleveland.
33:53
But you know what? I know you like Errol, so I you
33:56
know, we'll let you pick. It says, hey, we're we we share
33:59
the wealth here. You know what I'm saying?
34:01
I got it all right. Here it is, the joust topic.
34:05
Best outfield arms of all time. Any position in the outfield Who
34:12
had the best cannon, the best howitzer, the best Tomomanski
34:18
throws of all time? Goody, who do you want to go
34:23
first? Oh bro.
34:26
Let's hear Arrow. Let me see.
34:27
Let me see what Arrows got. I'm going to go with Roberto
34:31
Clemente, that's who I'm going with.
34:34
One of the greatest arms of all time.
34:36
I had a gun. Everybody said probably had the
34:39
best arm of all time when it came to Al Fielder.
34:41
So I'm going to go Roberto. Comment day speedy.
34:45
I'm going to go with one that I couldn't stand because he was a
34:47
Met killer, but he had the best one I ever saw that was Jeff
34:49
Frank Gore and had it for a very long time too.
34:51
Frank Gore with the Braves could throw it a lot of times from
34:54
like right in front of the warning track and get him and
34:56
get him out of home, get him out of second base a lot of the
34:58
time. Even with Texas, he was very
35:00
strong for a while even though he was an injury prone player.
35:02
So he's definitely the one best one I've ever seen.
35:04
So I'm going to go with. Him.
35:05
Carol Ichiro Suzuki, another gun of an arm, Hall of Famer.
35:12
People forget about how great of an arm he has, but everybody
35:16
talks about what he did as a hitter.
35:17
But this guy had a gun for an arm, so I'm going to go Ichiro
35:21
Suzuki. All right.
35:24
Back to speed angle. Watch the angle.
35:26
Watch the angle there. So I'm going to go with another
35:29
guy that was a legend in the American League West, among
35:31
other divisions for a while too. Vladimir Guerrero had a very
35:33
strong arm as well, definitely really laser accurate as well,
35:37
in addition to the strength as well.
35:39
And I think obviously with the injuries later, his career
35:42
couldn't play as much outfield, but he still had a very strong
35:44
arm even when he lost the range. All right, last pics, Errol.
35:48
Well, there's two guys that really stand out to me.
35:50
I can go with the Yankee or I can go with another blunt, but
35:53
this guy has been the the guy that people would probably not
35:57
remember it because it was an A while ago.
36:00
I'm going to go with Dick Redding.
36:02
That's where I'm going to go. Dick Redding with his arm, one
36:04
of the greatest arms of all time.
36:06
People forget about Dick because the name Dick.
36:09
OK, I'm going to go Dick Redding.
36:11
I it was either him or Dave Winfield.
36:14
So I that's the way I would have gone.
36:17
What I'm reading is the what Dick Redding had, The kind of
36:20
arm that Dick Redding had is they compare his arm to Roberto
36:24
Clemente. And I'm reading a little bit
36:25
about my grandfather. You talk about a guy who played
36:27
in the 1910s. Yeah, they say he had the couple
36:31
day would be proud. Yeah, that's what they're
36:32
saying. They're saying that he had.
36:35
He's a pitcher. Yeah, they say he has one of the
36:37
greatest arms of all time. So all right, go darting
36:39
pitcher. Dave Winfielder in center field.
36:41
Yeah. Go to Dave Winfield.
36:43
Another gun. Any one of those guys.
36:44
Dick Redding, Dave Winfield. I'll go anywhere.
36:47
Speedy last. Pick.
36:48
All right, I'll round it out with a guy that became a Met but
36:50
started off as an Oakland Athletic and probably had the
36:52
greatest throw to home I've ever seen.
36:53
That's the one assessment has had a cannon for a long time
36:56
when he but when he was at the young points of his career with
36:59
the A's they he had a throw from left field to home plate like on
37:02
the fly. I never saw anything like it and
37:04
led the I believe that each of those last two years and had a
37:08
strong one with the Mets too in the beginning of his career
37:10
before he got all those injuries and then started dealing with
37:12
all those bores. You notice when Speedy talks
37:14
about players, he he doesn't stop, he just goes.
37:20
Like a statistic and you was talking about cracking nuts and
37:23
Dick and all these different things.
37:25
I don't know what you got going on and what's going on the
37:27
verticals making you gay. I don't know.
37:29
First of. All I wasn't cracking anything
37:31
so. I don't know how Bo Jackson
37:35
isn't the correct answer. Oh, that's what I'm saying,
37:37
Bojack. Or what about Acuna?
37:39
Did we not watch Acuna's throw that?
37:41
Was standing. Still literally was on a line
37:45
the entire. Time.
37:45
The two guys that really stuck out to me was Roberto Klmenia
37:48
and Ichiro Suzuki. Everybody else and Dave Winfield
37:51
was a guy that really stuck out to me as a Yankee.
37:53
So I'm going to go. Barker, they say, had a cannon.
37:56
Aaron Judge, too. He's got a great arm.
37:58
Aaron Judge. It could say Bryce Harper and
38:01
Bryce Harper had it. It was all right, Tori.
38:05
Jesse. Barfield, Tori Hunter, Jesse
38:07
Barfield. I thought you were going to say
38:08
Jesse Barfield, Errol. Yeah, when you, when you.
38:10
No, I, I think I I'd probably go Roberto Clemente, Ichiro Suzuki,
38:14
Dave Winfield, That's the way I would go.
38:16
Those two guys, all right. Guys, hey, bring the boys back
38:19
in. Let them pick.
38:21
So you're like, so this is like one of those democratic
38:24
monarchies, like they got in he's.
38:25
The tooth fairy. He's the tooth fairy has to
38:27
spread. The well that's true Goody is
38:29
the tooth fairy. So I guess why don't Jabba and
38:36
Aaron, why don't you just tell us who you've taken real quick
38:39
to move on to the last round? I'm.
38:41
Sorry, just go. What was the three again?
38:43
Just. To so mine were mine were Jeff
38:44
Francour, Vladimir Guerrero and Joanna Sespitas and.
38:48
Then arrows was. Roberto Clemente.
38:52
Ichiro Suzuki and Dave Winfield. I mean, I'm going to say first,
38:58
I don't think it was close. I think Errol's was a lot
38:59
better. Well, Ichiro and Roberto
39:01
Clemente are the two best arms involved, I mean.
39:03
Frank Gore was. Really good.
39:05
I agree. I agree.
39:06
I agree with Errol. 'S Ichiro's Electric.
39:08
But like Ichiro, come. On Ichiro's Electric, obviously
39:13
Roberto Clemente was one of the best.
39:15
One of the best. He had the best arm.
39:17
Clemente might have been the best.
39:18
Yeah, the best arm Clemente was. Clemente is rated as the best
39:23
outfield arm. Statistically, he.
39:24
Was whoever he's at the top. And then Ichiro is also.
39:28
Yeah, and Jabba brought up Bo Jackson.
39:30
I can't believe. I didn't want to use Bo Jackson
39:32
because I, I know a lot of people probably I wanted to go.
39:36
I I Roberto, comment to Ichiro Suzuki.
39:38
I mean, I like, I like Dick Redding.
39:41
I just he was a pitcher. Yeah, he was also an.
39:43
Outfield. Well, no, he was.
39:44
He was mostly an outfielder. He only pitched for a couple of
39:48
seasons. He was an outfielder.
39:49
But he played from 1911 to 1936. And what they're saying about
39:55
him is he he might have had a better arm than Roberto
39:58
Clemente. José José Guillen.
40:00
He's another good one. Yeah, or I was saying Acuna.
40:03
I will say Errol. Errol to go with your or your
40:07
Cespedes pick. They're speeding.
40:09
He used to throw up before every game.
40:11
Nerves. Damn.
40:13
No, he just would always throw up.
40:14
Like there were sometimes we didn't have a left fielder
40:16
because Sespe was throwing up in the trash can, always in the
40:18
tunnel. And he'd be he'd be smoking
40:20
cowboy killers. Who would you play?
40:22
Where'd you? What team did you play?
40:23
Detroit. Detroit, Detroit.
40:25
All right, let's let's move on to the final round guys.
40:28
It's going. To be it's going to be Errol
40:31
and. And the king, The king.
40:35
Over here in the face off the rematch, here it is.
40:39
Final round of King of the Hill. Are you boys ready to play?
40:43
Here it is take on the king. This one's a little tricky.
40:49
The players who were the most famous during the times they
40:55
played. So I'm not saying who was the
40:58
best. I'm saying if we're talking
41:01
about the 1950s, this guy was the guy of that era.
41:05
The 1960s, he was the guy of that era.
41:09
I want you to tell me who the dudes were of the eras and goody
41:15
you get to choose if you want to go first or get last legs.
41:19
I'm going to go first. All right.
41:21
Goody, I got to go first. I got to go with the Sultan of
41:26
Swat, the great Bambino, Babe Ruth.
41:32
I think this was called the Dead Ball era, if I'm not mistaken.
41:37
I don't know what what I think. That's what is it.
41:39
No, he's like the 20s or 30s or whatever, but I'm talking about
41:44
Babe roof. He, he is the when you think of
41:47
greatest baseball player of all time, you think of Babe roof.
41:49
He pitched, he hit, he did it all.
41:51
He's doing what now? People are comparing Shohei
41:53
Otani to the babe, the baby, the baby roof.
41:57
There's movies made after him. Sandlot.
41:59
What are they trying to get after?
42:00
They're trying to get baby roof's balls.
42:02
That's what I'm talking about. That's who I want.
42:05
The colossus of clout. The colossus of clout.
42:09
The time of. Error Errol.
42:14
I'm going to go, I'm going to go to the barrier of bringing
42:18
African American players in, and that would be Jackie Robinson.
42:21
Jackie Robinson was the guy that broke the barrier for African
42:25
American black players and took it to a whole nother level.
42:28
So I'm going to go with Jackie Robinson.
42:32
This is becoming a really cool list.
42:35
Back to the King, Goody. OK, all right, check it out.
42:38
There's a lot of players in this era who were very, very famous.
42:41
And I could go, I could go Yankees all day, but I'm going
42:45
to go with a splendid splinter. The greatest hitter to ever
42:49
live, Teddy Williams, not only was he the greatest hitter, hit
42:53
400, but he also served in World War 2 as a pilot, which is
42:57
pretty dope. Came back and decided to
42:59
continue playing. That one, of course, you had to
43:04
add that one. If you could listen, if you
43:07
could fly a plane, come back and still be AG on the baseball
43:09
field after taking years off and come back and still get it done
43:13
here that he's an American hero. I salute the Tedster.
43:17
He's the best. Now he was a Red Sox.
43:19
So what? I don't care.
43:20
He was great and I loved it. Errol.
43:25
I'm going to go Willie Mays. Willie Mays and the outfield two
43:28
way player. One of the greatest defensive
43:30
players of all time. We talk about great arms, but
43:32
what he did in the outfield and power hitters, he did
43:35
everything. One of the greatest all around
43:37
play. And Barry Bonds, his godfather.
43:39
I'm going to go Willie Mays. Not Hayes, but Willie Mays.
43:43
I'm going to go all. Right last picks King Goodie.
43:47
All right. I'm going to go with the current
43:48
player, somebody who's current, who's not only just a superstar
43:53
here in the States, but he's a Global Icon.
43:56
He's been in many controversies as of late with the Hawaii deal,
44:00
the gambling deal here. I'm talking about the gambling
44:05
switch, the switch pister to hitter.
44:08
I'm talking about Japanese superstar, LA Dodger, World
44:12
Series champion Johei Otani, global superstar, two way
44:17
phenomenon, who as I said, we've never seen anything like this
44:22
since my first pick, the great Camp Bambino, the salt and the
44:25
SWAT. Babe Ruth put a stamp on it.
44:29
I'm going to put. A stamp on this one, and I'm
44:31
going to, I'm going to take you. I'm going to take you out on
44:33
this one. I'm going to go with the guy
44:35
that broke Babe Ruth's record, the one and only Hank Aaron.
44:40
That's who I'm going with renowned breaking.
44:43
He's the only one that really broke Babe Ruth's record.
44:46
What he did for the Braves and what he did for baseball at the
44:49
time and the length of career that he had.
44:51
He played what 2728 years of professional baseball, the
44:56
longevity and just special player one one of the greatest
44:59
baseball players of all time. People forget about what Hank
45:02
did for baseball and and taking baseball to higher height.
45:05
So I'm going Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays and Hank Garrett.
45:09
Yeah, it was 27 years because the only two years he wasn't an
45:11
All Star at 25 first and last year in.
45:14
Baseball. Take your otani, Take your otani
45:17
and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
45:19
We got the babester, Mr. Baseball, the babester.
45:22
We have the American war hero, so if you go against that,
45:27
you're on American. Right.
45:29
The splendid and. Then you picked Otani as your
45:32
third guy. Get out of here.
45:33
And they were going go go global superstar.
45:37
You pull the one-on-one show a Otani card that's autographed
45:40
with the patent. Goodbye. $1,000,000 should have
45:42
went somewhere else. You took that to garbage.
45:45
So other guys I was expecting. Mickey Mantle, Joe Di Maggio.
45:50
I was expecting Di Maggio and Mantle to be I could.
45:53
Have worked for magic. I didn't want to go that way
45:56
era, but I wanted to go. I wanted to go.
45:58
All Yankees I could have went Babe Ruth, DiMaggio and Derek
46:01
Jeter. Boom, yeah, I don't I don't know
46:03
if I would have said, you know, except most famous Derek Jeter
46:06
maybe you know, it's that's why it was interesting thing.
46:09
So I'm going to go with King Goody on this one.
46:12
And the reason for it is Hank Aaron got those stats over 27
46:16
years, but he's one of those guys that he never had a fifty
46:21
home run season. He was always one of the better
46:24
players in the league. But was he the most famous?
46:26
He was until the last couple of years when he was going for the
46:28
record. Was he though?
46:31
I think he might have been like a top ten, the top 15 famous guy
46:35
most of his career. I don't think anyone ever said
46:38
like the era of Hank Aaron. You know, he was just this
46:42
phenomenon that was really good for like the longest time ever,
46:46
you know what I mean? So for that reason that in the
46:49
fact on yesterday's show, we or last week's show, we learned
46:52
that Shohei Otani has like 9 times the amount of followers is
46:56
Aaron Judge. And if there's anyone better
46:58
than Otani, it's Judge. But he's 9 times more famous
47:01
than him. Because he's a global superstar.
47:04
Icon Global. Global, obviously really close.
47:08
I love the Jackie Robinson Willie Mays picks, but I mean
47:12
it's Babe Ruth and it's Teddy Ball game.
47:14
So goody, Aaron. I'm also going to have to go
47:19
with with Goody all and this is the reason why it's because I
47:23
think it's it is really hard to combat anything with more than
47:27
show Hey and Ruth it you can obviously you can you can put
47:30
your answers there like like what officials saying, but when
47:34
you're going like that with with Abe and and show hey, it's it's
47:37
it's hard to to top them in my in my opinion.
47:41
Speedy, I'm gonna go with Errol. I actually think the reason I
47:44
think the 50s, I think Willie Mays, I think was a more popular
47:47
player and Mantle I think would have been the other one I think
47:49
than Ted Williams overall. Maybe Williams was a better like
47:51
talent wise, like you're saying, goody war hero.
47:53
But I think popularity wise, I think it definitely was arising.
47:55
Obviously Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, I
47:58
think it has to put that up there.
47:59
I think Babe Ruth was obviously the number one answer for
48:01
anything, but I like Errol's 3 answers after that.
48:04
All right, 2 to 1, Jabba. Yeah, I, I Jackie Robinson's a
48:09
no brand like Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth were like
48:11
literally the 1A and 1A1 like it it's those ones.
48:18
But yeah, I'm going to have to go with Goody and and the Otani
48:22
part of it. I think Willie obviously is is
48:27
one that, you know, his catch is infamous and and what he did and
48:31
consistently. But yeah, when you when you are
48:35
global and you do that and of your era and to to do what he's
48:38
doing and nobody else is first of all, not tried it, but then
48:42
to succeed the way he has since Ruth and their numbers are very
48:45
similar. Yeah, that's for, I mean 2 to
48:49
one really for me. All right, in that case, that
48:53
means Nick Goody gets to keep his crown for another week.
48:58
A valiant effort. A close vote 3 to 1 split
49:01
decision. Goody.
49:04
The. Is there, is there a reason why
49:06
we keep picking baseball every single week?
49:09
I mean. Seriously, because it's baseball
49:11
season. When else am I going to use
49:12
baseball? Pick something else.
49:14
I mean where we're. Going well, you guys, you guys
49:17
made the king of the hill the one time baseball and it was it
49:19
wasn't it was supposed to be football.
49:21
And and by the way, Hank Aaron was a very popular player in his
49:24
era, I. Don't know, but was he, was he?
49:26
Yeah, he was. He was the 60s.
49:27
Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was.
49:29
I would say Mickey Mantle. 70 No, I'm not talking about, I'm
49:32
talking about the series drink. Aaron, here it was McCain.
49:35
Aaron for 10 years was the one of the top two players in
49:39
baseball from the 70s. I don't know what you're talking
49:41
about. You lost your mind.
49:43
I would say it's not about best players, most famous.
49:45
Famous. And you're gonna tell me.
49:47
Hey, Aaron isn't famous. What are you in the?
49:49
50s I don't think he was. Five stop, stop.
49:53
He's I don't think he was. He's the black.
49:54
He's the black player that broke Babe Ruth's record that
49:57
everybody thought. Was all I'm saying is until he
50:00
got to like 600 style first looked at him first of all.
50:04
You, Errol, you know you're wrong, right?
50:06
What? Because now the Negro Leagues
50:08
are accredited and Hank Aaron doesn't even hold Josh Gibson's
50:11
jock strap in home runs. Josh Gibson had over 8. 100 that
50:14
we're we're talking about the major leagues and and that's.
50:17
What we're talking about, it is considered the major leagues.
50:19
Now in my opinion, Hank Aaron was as big and as far as errors
50:24
are concerned, was as big as any one of the guys he mentioned.
50:27
So I don't know what you're talking.
50:28
About I mean, we're, we're like splitting hairs.
50:30
It was. It's like that's why I picked
50:32
that topic. That's why I went first, because
50:33
I had to get Babe Ruth out of the way.
50:36
I think that was the smart pick that honestly, that was the
50:38
smart pick. But even if you'd have went that
50:40
way, you're coming back with Jackie Robinson either way.
50:43
Like it's it was. So wherever you went, it was
50:45
going to be 1 or the other coming back.
50:46
I was going to go Sandy Koufax too so.
50:49
I think Koufax would have been a good pick.
50:51
Look, there's a lot of guys. You think Reggie Jackson was the
50:54
most famous guy in the 70s? Like because of what he did with
50:58
the A's before even getting to the Yankees?
51:00
Well, when you say famous too, he was like one of the first
51:02
guy, like there was. I mean, you can look at like Joe
51:05
D with Marilyn Monroe if we're just talking famous in the
51:08
aspect of that, you know what I'm saying?
51:09
That's what I was saying, you know, like, but again, it's a
51:12
silly list. It was a that was a fun one
51:14
tonight, guys. Maybe next week we go something
51:17
else that that would be. Cool, I already promised because
51:19
we want to get Zach on. That would be cool.
51:21
Our interns last week so we want to get all of them in on the.
51:25
Thank God and. Zach as it.
51:26
Seems like it's an all. Baseball.
51:28
Thank God you hated the interns. I thought they did.
51:30
A good job. I'm talking of guys that now
51:32
you're you're trying to flip it and and be an idiot.
51:35
I what I'm saying is we've been picking baseball.
51:38
Let's let's move on, let's move on, Let's move on, let's move on
51:44
from this baseball. I mean, come on, every single
51:47
week it's baseball as soon. As football season starts, we'll
51:50
do football. Oh, really?
51:52
It's is that what we're gonna do?
51:53
Is that what we're gonna do? Well, what what we'll do is when
51:56
football starts, well Goody can go look as Scar.
51:59
Goody told me no NASCAR. That's.
52:01
I, I I probably know more about NASCAR than any one of these
52:03
guys on this you. Told me you that's a bold face
52:06
line. I, I, I'm a big Dale Earnhardt
52:09
fan. So if if we go back in the past,
52:12
Dale Jarrett, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff.
52:14
Gordon, say you look. Like Jimmy Johnson, I followed.
52:17
I followed in those days, you know, 1012 years ago, I was into
52:22
NASCAR. I followed NASCAR.
52:24
OK, so are. You talking senior or junior for
52:27
Dale Earnhardt? Senior I was a big senior fan.
52:29
I followed an. Intimidator.
52:31
I followed here was. Junior was garbage on the track.
52:34
I I never said that he was good. He, he practically just used the
52:38
name and, and to me, I watched him and Dale Jarrett for Daytona
52:42
5 hundreds, all the, all the Daytona 5 hundreds.
52:44
I I enjoyed watching the whole race when him and Dale Jarrett
52:47
went head to head every single year And, and that was fun.
52:51
And, and watching the growth of Jeff Gordon and and then Jimmie
52:55
Johnson and all the different guys that I've seen over the
52:57
years, I actually liked race car, you know, and NASCAR and
53:02
stuff like that. But now with what's going on
53:04
with NASCAR, I'm not interested. I have no interest in it.
53:07
So that's pretty a lot, pretty reason why the reasons why I
53:11
didn't want to bring up NASCAR. I have no interest in NASCAR
53:13
anymore. I want to apologize to all the
53:15
fans in the beginning of the show with my Vertigo situation
53:18
that usually never happens. It's it hasn't happened on the
53:21
show really for 13 years. It's never happened to me
53:25
before. I it got worse probably two
53:27
years ago. There are days than others that
53:31
I get it, but I don't throw up like that.
53:33
I, my face, fucking excuse my language turned purple.
53:37
I went to the bathroom. I, I did what I had to do.
53:39
I, I don't even think I was going to get through the show.
53:41
So I want to apologize to the fans with that.
53:44
But All in all, we got through the show.
53:46
I don't know how I did it, but thank you to all the fans
53:48
following us on Spotify and Apple.
53:50
Keep following us, YouTube, Twitter or X, whatever you call
53:53
it, TikTok, Instagram, all of them.
53:56
Thank you to all the fans for continuing continuously keep
54:00
following us and we'll be back on Monday.
54:04
It has been one hell of a week dealing with the cable
54:08
situation. Excuse me, the cable situation
54:11
on Monday, but that won't happen next week.
54:14
Thank God. There is hurricanes going on.
54:16
Hurricane Aaron is hitting, hitting everything right now and
54:21
and it's just absolutely demolishing everything that it
54:24
hits. So hopefully all the families
54:26
out there that are dealing with the situations with the
54:28
hurricane, hopefully everybody's taking, taking cover and taking
54:32
care of their families. So that's a horrible story right
54:35
now. That's going on right now here
54:36
in the United States. So hopefully all the families
54:39
are are being taken care of. Yeah.
54:42
Do we have anything on Monday? Yes, Nathan was able to get
54:45
Lindsay Berra, who's Yogi Berra's granddaughter, and he's
54:48
a board member. She's a board member on the Yogi
54:50
Berra Museum now, did a lot of Yankees content in the past with
54:54
espnandmlb.com and was the executive producer as well of a
54:58
documentary called It Ain't Over about Yogi Berra.
55:01
I actually watched it. It's a great documentary of Yogi
55:04
Berra and she was actually on it.
55:06
It was sensational. Anybody that hasn't checked it,
55:08
It was in the movie theater. It was in the movie theater for
55:11
like a couple of weeks, but now you can get it.
55:13
It was on Netflix. I think you can get it on
55:15
Netflix right now. It's still on Netflix.
55:17
If you haven't checked it out. It is a great documentary.
55:20
The the tale of one man that just absolutely dominated the
55:24
catching position, not only for the New York Yankees, but the
55:26
MLB and baseball. He is really the face of the
55:30
catching position. I don't care what anybody says.
55:32
He was the all around greatest catcher to ever play the game,
55:36
power wise, defence wise and winning as far as I'm concerned.
55:40
And and the story behind him on how he became a Yankee is pretty
55:44
unique. He wanted, always wanted to be a
55:46
Saint Louis Cardinal, and the Cardinals passed him up and then
55:50
he winded up being picked up from St.
55:51
Louis. And he the Cardinals passed him
55:54
up for, I think. Tim McCarver.
55:55
McCarver, and I don't know if it was McCarver, but it was
55:58
somebody and he, he signed with the New York Yankees and you
56:02
know what happened after that, so.
56:05
And he served his country. As he did.
56:07
And Yogi Berra is a special. I never met him.
56:09
I know Jabba's met him. I'm sure Nick has met him.
56:11
I never got a chance to meet Yogi Berra.
56:13
I met Mickey Mantle. I did.
56:16
So that was a unique opportunity that I had.
56:19
I also met Pete Rose, so 2 Hall of Famous, two of the greatest
56:22
players to ever play the game. I met Derek Jeter and all those
56:25
guys too anyways, and Java played with them and so did
56:27
Nick. So that's it.
56:28
So I know Lindsay, I talked to her too.
56:32
There's some cool things that she's gonna do and we'll post it
56:34
or whatever, but, and we can cut this and put it up, but yeah,
56:38
they're trying to break the record on September 21st for the
56:40
most people to ever play catch, you have to play catch for 5
56:44
minutes simultaneously. They're doing it at the museum.
56:46
We'll have more information, but if you guys want to go and check
56:50
it out and kind of what they're doing, it is Yogi's big
56:53
catch.org and it'll give you all the information.
56:55
You can be a fan. Come watch it.
56:58
But yeah, really cool thing. And she'll explain some more to
57:01
us on Monday. But it's a really cool thing and
57:03
she is so passionate, such a wonderful, wonderful human being
57:06
and and she's really cool. So that'll be fun.
57:09
Yeah, sounds really cool. And again, if you're a Yogi
57:12
Berra fan and you know nothing about Yogi Berra and your
57:15
father, you, Sir, or your grandfather used to tell you
57:17
about Yogi, well, you get a chance to know a little bit more
57:20
about his family and his background when Lindsay comes on
57:23
and joins us on Monday. OK, that's it, ladies and
57:26
gentlemen. Again, I hope everybody the show
57:29
and we'll be back next week. Goodnight it It is the worldwide
57:32
sports radio network. Radio Network.
