• 3:04
  Speaker 1: You will not be out foxed.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Here as we talked some baseball, and we're gonna start
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: out at Yankee spring training camp in the Grapefruit League. Now,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'm old enough to remember when the Yankees were shopaholics
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and they always added a lot of players, and now.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Not so much.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: They've got a big roster and they pay a lot
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of money, but it's not the same. The Yankees are
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not what they used to be, and they have it
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: won in a while.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: By Yankee standards. It's tremendously embarrassing.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And they've had the same general manager since way back.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: In the nineties.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: This dude, this guy must have some compromising photos. Brian
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Cashman is his name, and putting together a staff of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: nerves is his game. Yeah, so Cashman made some comments.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: He was spitting mad in the Grapefruit League and I saw
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: this or not? Oh, We're only a few weeks away
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: from opening day. It's gonna be here before you know it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: So Brian Cashman was very upset. He recently pushed back,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: push it back, now, push it back. He pushed back
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: on the narrative that he has been a micro manager,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that he's been controlling the decisions made by manager Aaron Boone.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Boone was hired way back in twenty eighteen. Now, Cashman
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: said in a recent interview, quote like at the end
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of the day, I know, Cashman said, all that's going
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to matter is if we're winning games. And even when
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: we're winning games, it still won't matter because there's a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: lot of narratives out there that just aren't the case.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Cashman huffed and puffed. Quote continues like to this day.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Cashman said, and I'm definitely frustrated with the one narrative
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that the manager is the puppet and we're dictating his moves.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: None of it's true.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Close quote, and that kids is what we call the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: money quote, and it's good jumping off points. So let
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: us discuss the question, what do you make of GM
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Brian Cashman saying that he's quote frustrated that people believe
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: manager Aaron Boone is a puppet and that cashman in
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the front office are dictating his moves. So on this one,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I've got Chuck e cheese, JumboTron, and Nancy Reagan, three things.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: That have never been put in the same Mallard monologue.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But here we are, and we'll.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Lock all of these things together and we're gonna play
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: nice in the sandbox. We're gonna play nice in the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: sand But I don't know about the swings. I don't know
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: about that. But okay, sandbox will be We'll be buddies.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You and I are gonna be friends in the sandbox.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So number wah, number one, I said, number one number.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you don't you don't need you don't need
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to turn the volume up all right anyway.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So the answer to this question the quote which I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: read to you Brian Cashman complaining and grumbling and upset.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: He said, the frustrated with the narrative that the manager
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: is the puppet.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And we're dictating the moves.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: That is exactly what a puppet master says when somebody
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: spots the strings.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what you would say. Right there. That's it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: There's nothing to see here, folks. It's just a manager
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: mysteriously pulling the exact level or the exact button, hitting
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the right button and all that stuff that whatever the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: analytics people say, whatever the three ring binder in the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: dugout says, or the tablet says.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Boone does and so Brian Cashman, you know, he goes.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: On this little rant and all of sudden, all worked up,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Cashman says, Boone runs the team. It's been an open
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: secret for years that Aaron Boone with the Yankees and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Dave Roberts with the Dodgers are just sock puppets. Everyone
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: knows it. Like, I don't understand why you'd even push
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: back on it. It's just they're hired. They're they're they're
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: good with the media. They've got the gift of gab.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Aaron Boone used to be on television, and so uh,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: these guys are out there and they talk to Their
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: main job is to talk to the media, be a
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: liaison to the media, and.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Then they just let the front office decide what they
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: want to do.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I remember Goose Gossage with the Yankee Legend went on
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: a rant about Brian Cashman being followed around like snow
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was like Brian Cashman
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and the Seven Nerds following even around. So it's funny
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that this cuts close to home for Brian Cashman because
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: it's accurate, and he's bothered that it's accurate, and it's upsetting,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: like Boone runs the team the way the guy at
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Chuck E Cheese runs the old school animatronic band. Right
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: press a button and the rat starts playing the symbols,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and there's I think there might be a monkey in there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else, what other animals I forget,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: But the Yankees denying Brian Cashman that their scripting games
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: is unfricking believable.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Again, it's been an open secret for years. People in
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the game talk about it openly. You would have to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: be a babe in.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: The woods to believe that Aaron Bone is making the decision.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Every pitching change looks like it was from a teleprompter
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and he was just reading the teleprompter like a political
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: candidate there and Boone manages like he's following the manuscript
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: right the stage directions and all they's reading them all
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: so it says exit starting pitcher and or a lefty
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and then watch out for the fire when the lefty
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: pours gasoline all over the mound like cute disaster. Now
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: here's the real problem with Brian Cashman. He thought in
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: this little SoundBite that he's defending Aaron Boone.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: But what he's.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Actually said, if you parse the words and put them
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: under the Mallard microscope, it's like, you know, no, no,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Boone's not a puppet. But what you're really saying is
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: he just makes terrible decisions all by himself.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So which is worse? Right? Isn't that worse? Am I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: right on that? That's worse? I think I'm right on that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: So either Boone's Pinocchio.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Either he's Pinocchio, or he's the guy driving the struggle
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: bus for the Yankees right into the Hudson. Possibly the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: East River could be the East River, but I'd go Hudson.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I'd go Hudson. With the GPS things not working. Now,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: either way, as we like to say, you're either allowing
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: it to happen or you know you're responsible for It's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Cashman's fingerprints are all over the steering wheel on the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: struggle bus with.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: The Yankees, right, So that's where I am on that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Page two, I did not think that we could get
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: an extra mile out.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Of the story. I was wrong. Team USA will be
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: back at it in the.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic today later today, they'll be taking on Canada,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: great North American rivalry. Oh my god, it's gonna be intense.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: So that'll be going on, and believe it or not,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: whether you want to wrap your head around this or not,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: there is still some chem trails left behind, some chem
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: trails left behind by Mark de Rosa.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's the manager. He's like a TV guy.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: They made him the manager the whole thing.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: So I hope Jill in Minnesota's okay because I might
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: be taking some sh She loves our friend. Jill in
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Minnesota loves her some Mark DeRosa, big fan of his
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: TV stuff, and she's probably not gonna like what I
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: have to say.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But that's okay, that's okay. So sorry to get the point. So,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Mark de.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Rosa, he's the manager of the USA team. He put
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: himself right in the middle of cross heres here. Now,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: this is not an all time great story because the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: USA advanced, but his comments suggested that he was not
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: aware that America's team could be eliminated from pool play
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: going into Tuesday's contest against the Italians and the lineup,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the decisions of the USA fell behind eight nothing, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: it seemed like they were treating it like a spring
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: training game and not a game of some importance. So
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the story that was that and but no, he's now
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: pushed back on the idea that he was not aware
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that the USA.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Team could be eliminated.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: He said, quote, there's a couple of false narratives out there,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: he told reporters.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I was well aware that we had to win that game.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: De Rosas said, based on all the scenarios that could
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: take place, and they went into and oh, we went
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: into a close quote question team USA skipper Mark de
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Rosa blasting the false narratives that he didn't understand. Twenty
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: twenty six is World Baseball Classic bracket scenarios? Does anyone
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: with a brain actually believe the latest commentation commentary from
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Mark de ross anyone with a functioning brain. I'm looking
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: around the room, I'm looking up top here.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see no, I guess the answer would be. The
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: answer would be no.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: This is none of those stories where you see it
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and you're like, well, this is a media guy.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: De Rosa is a media guy. Know he's a form player,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: but he's a media guy.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And you go, Wowie Kazawi, another Wowie Kuzawi story. This
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: is like a guy caught on the jumbo tron on
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: kiss cam making out with someone who isn't his wife, saying,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you're misrepresenting the footage on the jumbo tron. Yeah, buddy,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: we've got the tape. This isn't the zubrutal. This is
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: not grainy video of Bigfoot somewhere in Washington State or
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Oregon out in the woods.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It's crystal clear.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Mark de Rosa was on state funded MLB network declaring
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: that Team USA had already punched the ticket to the quarterfinals.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Case closed, lock the doors, turn out the lots, the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: party's over. Then he said, after that he said he misspoke.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Now he's flip flopped again. He's now a soft pretzel
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: from Philadelphia, saying, well, it was a false narrative, false
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: near You know, it smells like smells like a refinery
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: turning crude oil into premium grade.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Gaslighting is what they're doing.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And when you keep talking, talk talk talk talk to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: you keep talking, you keep the fire burning. Like I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: was done with this story, I moved on. This story
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: didn't have any life to me. I was over because
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the Italians won USA. They got it done, so they
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: helped the USA out in the USA team advance.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So it would have been.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: An all time great cluster f had the team been eliminated,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: but they were not the fact that the Roses out
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: there putting logs on the fire, pouring lighter fluid on
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: top of the logs.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That's the story.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Now, all right, final point to Queens we go Flushing
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to be exact where the baseball team that wears orange
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and blue have embarrassed themselves yet again if you didn't
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: hear about that cheating astro, Carlos Beltron, who should not
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: be in the Baseball Hall of Fame and embarrassment for
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the once proud Baseball Writers of America. So Carlos Beltron's
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: number fifteen jersey will be retired by the Metropolitans that
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: report came out. Let me repeat that for those of
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you a little slow, because it's a really ungodly hour
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: those Peltron's number fifteen jersey will be retired by the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: New York Metropolitans. Yeah, question, does Carlos Beltron meet the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: criteria to have his number retired by the Mets. Okay, so,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: just so we're on the same page, I have no
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: skin in the game.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: This is not my team. I'm not a Mets guy.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: We all know that. Not a Mexican.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: That said, after a full malor investigation using the Mallard
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: microscope light detectors, the whole CSI kit that I bought
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: on Timu, the verdict is in the quote former First
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Lady Nancy Reagan the New York Mets, their philosophy should
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: be just say no. Are they that clueless? Are they
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that tone?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Death?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Should be like the human canniball and send that cannonball
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: out to.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: The wild blue yonder. What are you doing?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: It's embarrassing. Do they realize it's embarrassing. I'm worried about
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the Mets. They might overdose on stupid pills. Whoever made
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: this decision? Is this some kind of humiliation ritual so
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: you can be goofed on by everyone else in baseball?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Like, dude, what are you doing?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Carlos Beltron was the ring leader right there with the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: little fella. The little guy, Hey, I check him for
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the buzzer Alboobe.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And that punk Bregmant.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I feel so bad for my friends in Chicago, Tree
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and your Femi and FaZe and all those guys with
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: that punk Bregmant in your town. It's embarrassing. So Beltron
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: was accused of being one of the ring leaders of
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the Astros trash can banging cheating scheme, and he said, wow,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: that was a Houston problem. He didn't do that with
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the Mets. Well, it became a Mets problem. A lot
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: of people forget about this, but we don't because we
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: remember a.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Lot of these things.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Carlos Beltron was hired as manager of the New York Mets.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: This was in late twenty nineteen early twenty twenty, prior.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: To the pandemic.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: They had a news conference, welcome Carlos Beltron, the new
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: manager of the New York Metropolitans. Now you don't remember
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Beltron managing a game for.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: The Mets because he never did. He was immediately fired.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't get in the dugout one time because shortly after
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: he was hired, it was revealed that he was, as
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: we mentioned, the ringleader.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Of the cheating Astros. Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: So Beltron, while he did play with the Mets for
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a number of years, it was seven He was productive
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: It's relatively short though, don't you think seven years not
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: football seven years, it's dog years baseball seven seasons. It
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: injured some of that time. Here's the other thing, And
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to a cheap shot at Beltron. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: was going through my mind, and I've done this job
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: a long time, granted, and there's a lot of stuff
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: that happens, and you know, I'm trying to like think,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: what I remember, What do I remember? What is the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: signature moment of Carlos Beltron as a Met? And I'm
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: going through, like all the stuff that I remember in
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the shows. I'm trying to remember the monologues. I mean,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: it's been twenty years since I think he played with
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the Mets, around twenty years or whatever.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to think. And I was, like, I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: remember doing a really.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Hot monologue about Beltron with the Mets. It was Game
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: seven of the League Championship Series. And if I'm not mistaken,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Carlos Beltron stood there and watched a pitch like a
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: house go by on the side of the road, and
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: that was I'm pretty sure that was the signature moment
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that he took a called third strike looking in Game
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: seven which I think ended the game in the six
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: NLCS and that's his moment, and you're retiring his number.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? The number fifteen has also been
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: reissued since he.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Left, because they're like, we're not retired his number, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, Steve Cohen's got to bug
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: up his ass AND's like, we got to retire this
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: guy's number.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Most recently someone named Tyrone Taylor.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I don't even know who that is. I guess he's
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: an outfielder. So it dilutes the exclusivity of this kind
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: of thing. And again, I've long been on the side
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of the aisle. I've been on the side of the aisle.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Don't retire numbers. I don't believe in anything.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It's dumb. I wouldn't retire any numbers. I would not,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: But the Mets have historically reserved this for the few
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: true immortals.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: If you will, that have worn the Mets uniform and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: someone that has really deep ties to the franchise. Otherwise
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: it's like Bushley and Carlos Beltron is just a journeyman dance.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I'm a dozen guy, played play with seven teams, seven teams,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and he's a cheat and you retired his number. That's Beltrot.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: You're not that guy Pal. You're not that guy Pal.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: You're not, but the Mets thought you were. It is
• 20:19

• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Years ago, there was a I think it was the
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Associated Press, which at one point was the bastion.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Of journalism anymore.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Not people really don't really care much about the as
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: social press anymore, but back in the day it was
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: a really a big deal, right, A lot of cachet
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: and I think.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: This was an email they I don't know if they
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: got hacked. I forget all the detail. It's been a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: long time.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Every single every single contact the Associated Press had in
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: their rolodex at the time they leaked, and I got
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: my hands on this. I had Henry Aaron's phone number.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I had Wilt Chamberlain's phone number.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: This was in the nineties, Michael Jordan, all their phone
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: numbers and it was awesome.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: But then everyone found out about it and then they
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: all changed their numbers.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: So it worked for about a day. And those days
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: news did not move as fast because there was no Internet.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: It was like AOL that was what we had.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: So let's get back to the calls, and let's say,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: hell over, it is Friday the thirteenth.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: So who better to talk to on Friday the thirteenth.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Than Andrea in Berkeley as one of our nominees for
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Female Caller of the Year. And what do we need
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: to know Andrea as it is the thirteenth day of Friday.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Hello, Ben, how are you?
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Oh?

  Speaker 2: Fuck check check with you on Saturday the fourteenth.
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, there's actually three Friday the thirteenth this year.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And I was going to say, didn't we just have
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: We sure.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: Did last month Florina. Yeah, so there's three of them
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: this year. And you know, it all depends how you
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: look at it. Some people think thirteen is a powerful number,
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: and some people think that it's not so Friday the thirteenth.
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: It's all, you know, kind of how you look at it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: So I don't necessarily see it as negative. I remember
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: one of my spiritual teachers said that, you know, if
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: they're saying it's really negative, then you know there's a
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: lot of power in there. But be that as it may.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: With mercury retrograde, I want to thank everyone for correcting
• 29:45

  Speaker 1: I think it's more of.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: An honor because I've carved out this unique niche of
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: sports and astrology being a woman, and it's just sort of,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: you know, gaining momentum and getting more women in the
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: field and being really positive about it. And I think
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: you mentioned at the beginning of the show something about
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: it was like me and one other name in the
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: front in the first you know, excellent and uh, you know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: it's just really a privilege to be nominated and just
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: to combine my two passions of sports and astrology. You know,
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: not everyone gets to kind of live their dream in
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: that part of their life. So thank you for the
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: opportunity to.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Well listen, You've done a great job.

  Speaker 2: Let me see if Andrew in Bakersfield wants a fun fact. Andrew,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: do you want a fun fact about Friday the thirteenth?
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Andrew? What's that?
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I said?
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, here we go. Here's your fun factor.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: The fun fact.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Is it true that on Friday February thirteenth, way back
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy, that was the day that heavy metal
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: music was born?
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Yep?
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Black Sabbath debuted their album February thirteenth, nineteen seventy and
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: they are the forefathers of what has become that genre
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: of music.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: That's a fun fact. There you go.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Also, it is believed that one of the reasons that
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: people are superstitious about Friday the thirteenth is because there
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: were thirteen guests at the Last Supper and that's why.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: But you knew that, Andrew, right, you knew that?
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I knew there were thirteen if I
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: thought about it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, I think Andrea seriously. I appreciate her. I
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: think she should be the caller of the millenniums. She's
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: very nice, kind and anyways, that's my vote.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: You would like her to have a lifetime achievement or
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: you would.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Like that, Yeah, something like that trophy cookies.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, gotta be chocolate chip? Playing no nuts?
• 33:38

• 33:45
  Speaker 2: amazing take here, Andrew, would you have an amazing take?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Is there an amazing take in there?
