2:00
It keeps it nice. Ladies and gentlemen, our first
2:02
guest of the night. He's been waiting calmly and
2:05
carefully. We are now talking to Special
2:07
Olympics baseball coach and author of Just need an
2:09
opportunity. Tony, hold on.
2:13
Vlahovic. Tony, what's up, buddy?
2:16
Hey, how you doing, Errol? Hey, you you pronounce it
2:19
beautifully. Thank you.
2:20
That's great. Great.
2:21
I'm very bad with names and obviously Ukrainian names, a lot
2:27
of hockey names over the years, I've had problems with them and
2:30
pronouncing it. Speedy puts up the pronunciation
2:34
on the board and it's very, very hard because he puts it on the
2:37
way he would sound it out and not the way I would sound it.
2:39
And by the way, we had a, we had a specific segment called
2:44
sounded out over the last couple of months.
2:46
We don't do it much anymore, but they would put like all these
2:50
sports, different names from football, baseball, hockey,
2:53
tennis, and they'd pop them up and I would have to try to sound
2:56
it out and I'm not very good at it.
2:57
I was most of the time batting 300, but usually I would, I
3:02
would go on to 300. I'm not very good at it, but
3:05
anyways. I That's Hall of Fame numbers.
3:09
I'm not a Hall of Famer. Not yet at least.
3:11
I mean, jobbers, more of a Hall of Famer than I am as of right
3:14
now. But nevertheless, I want to get
3:17
into some of the great things you're doing right now.
3:20
And obviously I want to 1st talk about your book.
3:24
Just need an opportunity. How did this come about?
3:27
Why, obviously, did you decide to write a book?
3:32
It started I all through my entire life, I've been
3:36
surrounded with people who have had disabilities growing up in
3:39
the northern part of Pennsylvania.
3:41
Some of the kids I grew up with were, you know, in, in special
3:45
Ed, things like that. And there were kids in the
3:48
neighborhood who wouldn't pick them, would pick on them.
3:51
And I was their protector. And I don't know where that came
3:54
from, but they, they were good people.
3:57
And I didn't want anybody to bother them.
3:59
You know, I, I picked them, I played with them.
4:03
And throughout my life, I realized that I've been around
4:07
people with disabilities and kind of put it all together back
4:11
in 2012 when I met with Special Olympics New Jersey.
4:15
The CEO at that time was a gentleman named Mark Edenson
4:19
called me in and said, hey, I, I think people with disabilities
4:23
can play the game of baseball. What do you think?
4:26
And he said to me, look, you've been wearing a baseball hat all
4:29
your life. They have also, but they've
4:31
never had the opportunity to play.
4:33
So that's, that really started this whole process of I needed
4:38
to write about my relationship with the athletes and about my
4:43
life. And I really want to use the
4:46
book as a platform to increase awareness for people who have
4:50
disabilities. You know, there, there are 62
4:52
million people in the United States with disabilities.
4:55
That's amazing. I mean, you're talking about
4:57
what maybe, you know, at least 1/4, possibly 1/3 of the
5:01
population. And I, again, the these athletes
5:06
love the game. They know more about the game
5:09
than my high school athletes that I coach.
5:12
And I wanted to to give something back to them and, and
5:15
bring that to awareness to A to a larger audience, which when it
5:20
came out, it was a #1 new release.
5:23
And then I also did an audio book, which, which was great
5:27
because a lot of my athletes had some difficulty with
5:30
comprehension, but listening to it was easier for them than
5:35
reading. So that evolution of, of, you
5:38
know, basically looking at my life and saying, you know, I've,
5:42
I've been around people like this and I think it's time to,
5:46
to share that information and put them in a limelight.
5:50
And they, they are some of the most incredible people I've ever
5:53
met in my life. So any specific experiences that
5:57
you recall that you've explained to your kids, obviously you had
5:59
a scary accident when you were playing baseball growing up.
6:02
And then obviously, what are some of the biggest influences
6:06
on them that you've mentioned in your book from your previous in
6:09
your past life? Definitely, definitely the
6:13
accident and also surviving cancer when I was 14.
6:18
So, you know, to, to go back and, and look at my life and the
6:23
different difficulties and obstacles I've, I've basically
6:28
worked through, helped me to be able to coach athletes with
6:33
disabilities, share with them, have some sense of what it's
6:37
like to be a little bit different than some other
6:40
people. And I think all those things put
6:43
together definitely has helped to create a, an environment that
6:50
they trust me and we we grow from there.
6:53
And it's not only about the game of baseball, it's, it's, it's
6:56
about the kind of people they are and, and basically exposing
6:59
those people, the people in the outside world who may have never
7:03
had contact with, with a person. But you know, the more you talk
7:06
to people, there probably is somebody in their life or their
7:09
extended family friends who have some type of disability.
7:13
Tony, this I, I was excited to have you on the show.
7:16
So obviously, first and foremost, appreciate your time,
7:18
but it's near and dear to my heart.
7:21
My father was paralyzed on his left side.
7:23
He got the epidemic of polio in 52 and was never able to walk
7:27
and was was stricken to a wheelchair in August of 91
7:31
permanently. And he started League of Human
7:35
Dignity, which was basically me growing up.
7:38
And everybody always thought it was different.
7:40
And I love how you bring it up. It's they're not different.
7:43
They do things different way just like everybody else does.
7:45
And have they started the Miracle League, what it's called
7:48
here? And for anybody, just to, to see
7:51
smiles on their faces and, and to be able to be a part of that.
7:56
I, I wish so many people would get an opportunity to see how
7:59
special not only they are, as who they are, but to look past
8:06
what they, whether it's CP, whether it's cystic fiber,
8:10
whatever the case may be, and to see, you know, how strong and
8:14
how these kids and adults can just, they persevere.
8:19
And I was so honored and blessed to be my dad's son for all the
8:24
things that he did for people and allowed them to have an
8:27
opportunity. I mean, from the time I can
8:29
remember, I'm loading scooters and, you know, getting to try
8:32
out all this equipment, excessive technology was another
8:35
program my dad started for, you know, kids and, and learning how
8:38
to type and do this other stuff that, you know, couldn't talk
8:41
and, and then was able to live that normal life.
8:44
So I was super excited to be able to have you on and, and to
8:47
hear your perspective of the things you did.
8:50
And I think you bring up a great point that people don't really
8:52
understand. Like sometimes they only see the
8:55
physical limitations of what they are, but there's so many
8:57
things that that go deeper than that.
8:59
So hats off to you It, it's been something I've known and done my
9:03
whole life and I, I wish more people would, would be involved
9:06
and understand, you know, how important this is because we're
9:10
all in the same playing field. It doesn't matter if you got,
9:12
you know, 6 toes if you can't walk.
9:14
But you know what? To have that opportunity and see
9:17
smiles on faces, it makes it all worth it.
9:19
Definitely job it, it's, it comes from the heart.
9:22
I mean, you, you have a, you know, with, with, with your dad.
9:26
I mean, I, I see these athletes and work with them and like you
9:29
said, they may talk a little bit different, look a little bit
9:32
different, walk a little bit different, but the love that
9:35
they have and wanting to be a part of something when they're a
9:38
part of the team, it's one of the most incredible things that
9:41
you've ever seen. I mean, they, they just, and
9:44
from being in locker rooms or clubhouses, they want to be
9:48
treated just like anybody else. When I, when I started to coach
9:52
them, I was probably too much in terms of coaching them like like
9:56
a baby and, you know, being a little bit softer.
10:00
And one said to me, Coach, come on.
10:02
Well, they don't. They don't like it.
10:04
No, no, no, I pissed them off. They let me know about it pretty
10:09
quickly And I, I appreciated that.
10:12
And now I, I mean, I bust their chops and they give it right
10:16
back to me. But it's, it's, I love them, you
10:19
know, they, they, they just give so much.
10:23
And all it is, is we gave them an opportunity to play a game
10:26
that they love. And we just got back from Cary,
10:29
NC and USA Baseball. I started a program with my Co
10:34
founder Gary Kropovka five years ago called Base Able.
10:38
And the reason we did that is I'm involved with Special
10:41
Olympics, but Special Olympics really didn't pick up the
10:46
baseball as much as I want them to.
10:47
So we started something on our own and started a nonprofit and
10:52
all the money goes to the athletes for travel, for
10:55
uniforms, for equipment, anything that they need and
10:59
carry. And USA Baseball is incredible.
11:02
We spent a weekend down there, worked out with the college
11:04
national team, played an exhibition game in the stadium
11:08
for our athletes. That's like being in the MLB.
11:11
It just that they had an absolute great time and it's
11:16
amazing when when we're sitting in the airport in Durham ready
11:20
to fly back to Newark. They all sent out some type of
11:23
thank you, either e-mail, text or letter to USA Baseball.
11:28
Didn't have to say a word. They were so appreciative of the
11:31
time and effort that was put into that weekend.
11:34
Just amazing, incredible people. We are talking to Special
11:39
Olympics baseball coach and author of Just Need an
11:43
Opportunity, Tony Vlahovic. You know, Tony, first of all,
11:47
I've worked with a lot of different kids over the years,
11:51
autistic actually. We have one right in the studio
11:54
right now, one of the best in the business broadcasting and
11:57
that's Speedy, Speedy right here.
11:59
He's as, as he has Asperger's and he's a guy that has, is one
12:04
of the best in the business when it comes to autism.
12:07
It's to me. He's a normal person.
12:10
He's like anybody else. I don't judge him.
12:12
Me and him have gone back and forth over the years and Speedy
12:15
will tell you I've always considered him an equal to me.
12:19
I don't look at him any differently and I've always
12:22
respected his talent and his growth in this industry.
12:26
And I've been around a lot of kids over the years that I've
12:29
had problems, mental issues, obviously autistic issues.
12:33
I've never looked at differently.
12:35
We're all the same. We're all built with the same
12:38
hands, the same brains, the same everything.
12:41
Obviously other people are born a little bit differently, but I,
12:45
I never look at them any differently than anybody else.
12:49
Now I know you've worked in the Special Olympics.
12:52
What kind of experience was that working with all these different
12:55
young guys and kids that are obviously have all the different
12:59
issues that they have? And what was the what was the
13:03
push to what was the drive to become a coach for the Special
13:07
Olympics? It was really that that first
13:10
meeting and the idea of believing that they, these
13:15
athletes have never been given the opportunity.
13:18
What we did was we started with with some open workouts and to
13:21
be quite honest with there was 90 people in the gym.
13:24
It was total mayhem. It was, it was craziness and it
13:28
was just just this wild event. I took some of my high school
13:31
players with me and they're look at me like, coach, what the hell
13:34
is going on? But what we did was we we
13:38
started to develop their skills and their growth and develop
13:42
those relationships and that really spurred me on.
13:46
From that point. We set up a league in 2013 with
13:51
four teams and then pick the team.
13:53
The Special Olympics have an event called the USA Games,
13:57
which next year it'll be in Minneapolis and in back in 2014,
14:03
baseball was an exhibition sport.
14:05
First time in the 45 year history of Special Olympics
14:09
baseball was offered and job you'll appreciate this.
14:13
We actually played a Trenton Thunder stadium with it, with
14:16
the Yankees used to have their AA ballclub, still do.
14:20
Yeah, yeah, they, well, they actually moved, they moved out
14:24
of Trenton, unfortunately, but the we, there were four teams,
14:29
Alabama, Delaware, Rhode Island and New Jersey.
14:34
And I coached team New Jersey. We actually played Rhode Island
14:37
for the gold medal in front of 3000 people.
14:41
And it was, it was an incredible night.
14:44
We, we ended up playing the gold medal six to two.
14:47
There was not a dry ice, dry eye in the house.
14:51
I mean, it was wild. The fans loved it.
14:54
The players were, were both teams.
14:56
You know what we're celebrating. It was just an incredible night.
15:00
And when you have athletes say to you, coach, this is one of
15:03
the best nights of my life. Whoever thought, you know, they
15:06
would start with this large group and now you're wearing a
15:10
gold medal around your neck and you're representing something
15:13
that pioneers really across the country.
15:17
So that was that was one of the the most incredible days in my
15:23
life. Also to see these guys take a
15:25
step back and just take it all in and watch them celebrate and
15:30
then get a police escort back to the College of New Jersey where
15:34
we were staying. We were rock stars for the
15:37
night. It was, it was great.
15:39
But the, the amount of people and the amount of support for
15:43
for that event was, was just, was just incredible.
15:47
So I wanted to ask her from like different age group standpoint,
15:49
because we we interviewed a football player a couple years
15:52
ago and Dyrell Briggs, who won a Super Bowl with the Packers and
15:54
he was doing a lot of a lot of Special Olympics type things
15:57
with youth sports. And we've also seen it now in
16:00
college and in high schools too. Like what is what do you think
16:03
has been the impact like throughout like other different
16:06
age groups that you've seen not just in baseball but in other
16:08
sports? I I think the the age group is
16:13
to give you an idea on on that, that Special Olympic USA team, I
16:17
had 19 athletes on the roster. My youngest was 16, my oldest
16:22
was 54. Wow.
16:23
And I think what, what you see is, is that age group has
16:27
expanded. It's also expanded to to men and
16:29
women, which is great. So you're, you're creating
16:33
opportunities that were never there before.
16:35
I, I think we're, we're still trying to build and we talked
16:38
about this with USA Baseball today on the grade school and
16:42
the middle school level and introducing the game at that
16:46
level and basically creating a, a minor league program across
16:50
the country to show that these athletes then they can play the
16:53
game game, introduce it to them, have them develop just like
16:58
through the Miracle League that that Jabba mentioned.
17:00
Because the job, the Miracle League actually ages out at like
17:04
16 and they do an incredible job.
17:07
They, they, they really do. So we'd like to help those
17:11
athletes after they age out to be able to continue to play, but
17:15
that that age span has definitely increased over the
17:19
years in, in all sports. The, the, I know the NFL does
17:23
does a lot the NBAML, the professional soccer does a draft
17:29
every year that, you know, just just incredible.
17:32
I, I know that the NHL after we played Rhode Island, the the
17:36
Bruins honored them up in Boston.
17:39
It just, I, I think it's, it's a great, it's a win win for every
17:44
professional and college program out there to, to give back.
17:49
I know that Clemson has, has an extended program for individuals
17:54
with, with disabilities and, and a graduation.
17:57
I have some athletes down in South Carolina that attend
17:59
Coastal Carolina. The athletes down there work
18:03
with them. We have a program that that
18:05
we'll do down at the Myrtle Beach Stadium in February called
18:10
Swing for Inclusion that will have 5 states involved.
18:15
We did a clinic down there. There was over 100 athletes,
18:17
invited athletes from the Miracle League.
18:20
And what we try to do is get our our current athletes that are
18:23
playing for us to teach part of that clinic, which is, which is
18:28
really cool that so our athletes love that because now they're
18:31
giving back and and they're they're giving back to the game
18:35
and to the sport that they love. Tony, have you?
18:38
We, we're kind of talking about expanding our brand in, in
18:42
certain avenues and it's just something we've kind of talked
18:45
about. Have you ever thought about like
18:47
as you get these athletes and as you expand, you know, age
18:51
divisions, rackets, men and women?
18:53
However, have you ever thought about as it correlates with
18:57
sports, like being able to join with a company or a foundation
19:02
or something where not only does it put them in a great place
19:06
athletically and to be that athlete, but also house them and
19:09
give them an opportunity to be self-sufficient.
19:11
And, you know, being like my dad would do a lot of times, you
19:15
know, a lot of these athletes that he would work with to have
19:19
a job, to feel part of it, to be a bad grocer, like to team up
19:22
with, with something where, you know, because sometimes they
19:26
feel like, and, and I've come into counter with this, where
19:28
when the season's over, it's like it's the end of the world,
19:31
you know, sometimes to them, because that's what they have.
19:34
But then to still feel a part of something as a team to like, I
19:39
guess join and, and be able to use what they've learned, you
19:43
know, being an athlete and growing in that way.
19:45
But so in life, to be self-sufficient and the things
19:48
that they learned on the field, to take them to be able to to
19:51
live and grow not only as an athlete but as a person.
19:55
Absolutely, there are a lot of our athletes actually work at
19:58
places like UPS, Amazon. So, so they're, they're, they're
20:02
part of something. But yes, they, they, a lot of
20:05
them are, they're incorporating job coaches to help them out,
20:10
which is, which is excellent. So we've talked about that, you
20:14
know, trying to get more companies involved because
20:18
again, I, I really believe it's, it's, it's a win win.
20:22
When I had a business in in Princeton, NJ, I always had a
20:26
few people with disabilities who work for me, probably some of
20:30
the best employees I had. They were never late.
20:33
They appreciated everything that you did and, and they were just,
20:37
they were just a lot of fun. One of my employees who had Down
20:41
syndrome asked every woman in the place to marry him.
20:44
So we had to calm that down a little bit.
20:47
But it was he, he was great, had a great personality, just the
20:52
way that they, as you mentioned, being part of a team, you want
20:56
to expand that, you want to take that to their life and use that
21:00
the skills that they learned playing ball in their life
21:03
skills and their relationships. And I, I, I've seen that improve
21:09
on a lot of different levels for them, starting at, you know,
21:12
being part of a team, learning how to give, you know, learning
21:16
how to interact with people, learning how to communicate a
21:19
little bit better, learning to listen a little bit more, and
21:23
then taking that out in the world and having their own
21:26
relationship and also with, with work.
21:29
And once, once you see people respond like that, you know that
21:34
you're on to something, you know, and in my opinion that,
21:38
that that's only going to grow. And if you can continue to, to
21:43
present that and put that out there for people saying, Hey,
21:46
you can do this and that confidence builds and then they
21:51
take the others just like that, that positive peer pressure, we
21:54
can do this. And then they, they start to
21:57
take their friends and say, Hey, I have a friend who could work
22:00
here, you know, can you, can you interview him?
22:03
So working on, on all those skills.
22:06
But you know, I, I've seen that evolution from back in 2012 and
22:11
just continued with, with, with the growth of, of these people
22:16
in general, on and off the field.
22:19
You know, it, it, like you said, there's a ton of smiles and you
22:23
know, you get it. It's from the heart and and they
22:26
give it back to you in spades. I've you have a bad day and they
22:30
come up and I don't think I've ever been hugged that much in my
22:33
life in a weekend like when we go to Carrie, just very thankful
22:38
that the smiles on their faces. It just, it just changes, change
22:42
your world, changed my life in in so many ways, in so many
22:46
positive ways. I think it's amazing.
22:48
I think everything that you've done is absolutely amazing.
22:51
I, I, again, my, my, my nephew is, has Asperger's and I'm
22:56
trying to teach him camaraderie. I, I've, I made him join the
22:59
Long Island elite and he, he's playing with all these top
23:02
football players right now in Long Island.
23:04
He's never played football. He's just built big.
23:07
He's like a truck. And I told him you're going to
23:09
learn camaraderie. And once you learn how to be a
23:12
team and you work together as an offensive lineman, everything
23:15
works together. And he's starting to really
23:18
understand it. And he he was very, very quiet.
23:21
He didn't really like to be interactive with people.
23:24
He would sit in front of his TV all day long.
23:27
And I was like, you got to get out and about.
23:28
You got to hang out and you got to get to know people and, and
23:32
be more commutative. And ever since he started doing
23:35
that, it's been a couple of weeks.
23:36
I think he's opened up so many opportunities and ways where he
23:41
can communicate and become friendly with other people.
23:44
And I think it's great. And I'm so happy to watch him
23:47
grow as a young man, 13 years old and he's still so much left
23:52
and life to understand a little bit more about how to work as a
23:56
team. So I, I think it's a great
23:58
story. I, I love everything about you,
24:00
Tony. And you know, when Nathan told
24:02
me that we were going to get you on the show, I think it's just
24:04
all the things that you're doing.
24:06
It's remarkable. It's great.
24:09
And, and to me, we're doing, we're starting and like Jabba
24:12
was saying, we're working on a nonprofit organization where
24:15
we're with figuring out names and how we're going to put it
24:18
together. We would love to bring you in
24:20
with us to to help us build our nonprofit organization because
24:24
you're so highly connected in so many different ways with so many
24:28
different communities. And I think it would absolutely
24:31
help us. I would help you in a heartbeat.
24:34
I would be honored that that that would be great.
24:36
I I would do anything I could to to help you guys get get started
24:41
as as you know, I, I can just from from talking with you
24:45
today, I can see where you guys are coming from and, and again,
24:49
it's coming from the heart. You guys have have a great show.
24:52
You have an audience and that helps out also to get that
24:55
message out there. But yeah, anything you need, I I
25:00
would, I would definitely be a part of that We.
25:02
Would love for you to be one of the, one of the guys.
25:04
What you're doing right now is remarkable.
25:07
I think when, when we're, you know, Jabba was talking about
25:10
working with autism and working with many different
25:13
organizations. I think what you do in the
25:15
Special Olympics and, and all the connections that you have, I
25:18
think it would be just so great for you to come and communicate
25:21
with some of the, the families and, and all the different
25:24
people that are going to be at these events.
25:25
And I, I would love for you to be one of the spokesman of our
25:28
nonprofit organization. I would love that.
25:32
I would absolutely love that. Thank you.
25:34
That, that, that, that would be, that would be great.
25:37
I, I, in fact, I, I just talking about another population, the
25:42
younger population. I just finished writing a book
25:45
for kids and it's, it's, we're working with the illustrator
25:50
now. And basically what we're talking
25:52
about is the acceptance of kids who are a little bit different.
25:57
And when I'm writing, when I was writing it, I didn't come out
25:59
and say that they had some type of disability.
26:02
It just different. They were different.
26:05
And you know, they, they went and they got a letter from
26:08
Special Olympics. They, they won the gold medal.
26:11
And I am hoping that for like 4 to 8 year old kids that that
26:15
it's taken in by schools and accept it, you know, with with
26:18
with, you know, a much shorter book, but it's a version of what
26:22
I wrote in my first book. And I want to reach out to a
26:26
different population and I think that's really important,
26:30
starting with with younger people and progressing through.
26:34
Well, I will say this, we all have disabilities just because.
26:37
We're. We, everyone of us, I, if you
26:39
watch this show, you would know if you watch this show, you
26:42
would know I have a disability. I'm absolutely nuts.
26:45
So anybody that's seen this show knows one of my my, my damn
26:50
goal, but I, I do appreciate you.
26:52
I definitely will reach out to Nathan.
26:54
We definitely would love to get connected with you and as we're
26:58
working on marketing and a name of our nonprofit organization,
27:02
once we get it set up, we would love to get you involved with
27:05
it. We really appreciate the time.
27:06
I I love what you're doing. Congratulations on all the great
27:09
things you're doing. Keep up the good work and we'll
27:11
talk to you soon. Definitely.
27:13
Hey, thank you for the opportunity to come on your
27:15
show. I really appreciate it.
27:16
You guys are great. Thank you very much.
27:19

27:24
It rolls off the tongue. Vlahovic.
27:27
Beautiful. Vlahovic speedy one time little
27:31
enthusiasm. That was this smile.
27:34
Little little. Dahovic, Speedy, do you play
27:38
baseball? I'm going to try to recruit you
27:39
to play one. Of the worst Little League
27:41
baseball players. No, no, no.
27:44
Look, now we, we, we, we can work on that.
27:46
I that's I've heard that before. We we, we, we.
27:50
We have. We have our ways.
27:52
Tony, one of the best play by play guys you will ever meet.
27:57
I'm telling you right now, he will blow anybody out of the
28:00
water. This guy can go to a stadium,
28:02
football, baseball, hockey, anything.
28:05
Get a list of guys, get information about those guys and
28:08
bring it to life. I do the color all the time.
28:10
He does the play by play people like think like we're like
28:14
professional guys that they hired.
28:16
It's it's unbelievable. He is sensational.
28:18
He's going to be one of the best.
28:19
I I do believe that in the future, but.
28:22
You know what we could do is put together an exhibition game and
28:25
have you guys do that? Absolutely.
28:27
We would love it. And Jabba will be in the
28:29
background telling him, oh, Tony wasn't doing that.
28:32
Oh, Tony wasn't doing that. Oh, Tony wasn't doing that.
28:35
John will be working on the he'll he'll get the Jabba Rules
28:38
jerseys ready. That's right.
28:41
He's getting it. I saw that.
28:43
I saw that film of, of that great catch you made against the
28:46
Cleveland Indians at the time. Oh I love.
28:50
It yeah. Athlete maybe?
28:53
I'm going. That's right, that's right.
28:54
Hey, pitchers, I was a pitcher too.
28:57
I'm going to show that. I'm going to show that clip to
29:00
my guys. They will go crazy with that.
29:03
Believe it, Joba is not an athlete.
29:05
Anyways, we love you, Tony. We'll talk to you soon, buddy.
29:10
Hey, great. Thank you.
29:11
Thank you guys. Have a great one.
29:12
Tony Vlahovic, fantastic book writer.
29:17
Olympic. Yeah, Special Olympics coach,
29:20
great interview, just great inside of what he's doing right
29:23
now in the industry. And I, Nathan, a slam dunk.
29:28
I definitely want to get him involved with the nonprofit
29:30
organization job. I'm sure you do too.
29:33
And it's going to be fun, what we're going to be doing.
29:35
We'd love to help kids. Christmas, Thanksgiving, all the
29:38
holidays are right around the corner.
29:40
This is this is a great time to really put out our product
29:43
center stage for all the fans to get to know us and get to know
29:47
what we want to do to help other people and, and so many
29:50
different people out there that need our help and, and need
29:53
people's help. So I'm interested to see what we
29:56
can do in the long run. It was cool.
29:59
I mean, it's right up my alley, really.
30:00
I mean, that's the only thing I've ever known, you know,
30:02
loading, loading scooters, doing stuff like that.
30:05
So yeah, it was really cool having him on, like his
30:07
perspective and obviously, you know him, you know, doing what
30:11
he's done. And, you know, it's exciting for
30:13
me to see people doing this because for me it was, for me,
30:16
it was normal, you know, and I know normal's not a word, but
30:20
for me, that's all I. Ever knew?
30:21
I don't even know what the word normal.
30:23
I don't. Think any different layers.
30:24
Being normal. I mean, people look at me and
30:27
they're like, oh, there he is. I mean, when I walk through the
30:29
hospital every single day, people are like trying to use
30:32
their binoculars and try to send them, send me away to another
30:35
room. So that's not that's not a lie,
30:37
ladies and gentlemen, that is true.
30:38
True story. But yeah, I would like to thank
30:41
Tony for joining us. It was a great interview and I'd
30:43
just like to hear what he has to say and what he's doing.
30:46
By the way, Joplin, you know what's not normal?
30:48
You not wearing glasses tonight. That my friend.
30:52
I was running everywhere. There's limbs everywhere, so I
30:56
was like, I wasn't wearing my glasses.
30:57
I wouldn't work it out. I'm completely like I.
31:01
My eyes are getting dry right now, so probably next sportsman.
31:05
I'm sure you weren't trying to cry or something.
31:06
I think you were trying to. Cry.
31:08
No. Not yet, no.
31:09
I just want to let everybody know we do have another guest
31:12
and a little bit in in just a little while, we would be
31:14
talking to Bob Rathbin. He actually is the lead
31:17
broadcaster for the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Dream, and
31:21
does a lot of college and football, basketball stuff so
31:24
also. Used to be also used to be with
31:25
the Braves Java. Yes, Hall of Famer, by the way.
31:28
Play by play guy. So Bob will be joining us.
31:31
I didn't say that in the beginning because I wanted to
31:33
surprise people. But yes, we have another guest
31:36
lined up for you guys. It's going to be fun.
31:38
I'm sure he his interest to Kristaps Porzingis as he is a
31:42
new Hawk and Trey Young who I can't I can't stand so.
31:46
You still like it more than. Kristoff Absolutely.
31:49
I can't stand both of them, so it's two players I can't stand
31:52
on one team. So anyways, we call the next
31:55
segment Speedy 6 Pack. Let's have a sixer.
32:00
Hey, who wants to play? Drink the beer.
32:02
It's time for the Speedy 6 Pack of the week.
32:06
He tastes himself. Well, before we get to the six
32:09

32:12

32:36
1/2 against Montreal. Droba Smack Magas Droba.
32:41
Hey, Speedy Droba. Before we get started.
32:44
I know you told me we don't have any Travis Hunter stuff, but I
32:47
wanted to follow up on a story we had about Travis Hunter
32:50
loving wanting to be called the Unicorn.
32:52
We got a live shot earlier in the day.
32:56
Let's not of Travis Hunter the Unicorn.
32:59
Oh my goodness. Image right there created by.
33:04
Grok. Oh my God, are you telling me
33:07
that that guy looks like that? I mean, could you imagine?
33:11
First of all, he. Is that's good.
33:12
That's good, by the way. That is really good.
33:15
I asked it to combine a regular picture of him holding a
33:19
football with a Unicorn and the gremlin from the movie and it
33:23
did a great job. That's an impressive job by.
33:26
AI when I see him again and there will be a time that I
33:29
actually see Travis again. I saw him at the the Heisman
33:33
Trophy awards. When I see Travis again, I'm
33:35
going to say stop calling yourself the Unicorn.
33:37
You're the gremlin, all right? You're the gremlin.
33:40
I'm actually going to get this picture.
33:42
I'm going to say here, I got a picture of you gremlin style,
33:45
baby. You want to be a Unicorn?
33:46
We'll just put it together and you could be a My Little Pony
33:49
gremlin. There you go.
33:50
Because that's what it looks like, My Little Pony with a
33:53
little gremlin and you know, a little gremlin take on that one.
33:56
All right, sweetie, you ready? All right, here we go.
33:59
Number six. All right, we'll.
34:00
Start with. I never heard Travis.
34:02
Kelsey in honor of a Taylor Swift being on his podcast
34:04
tonight, he claims that production slipped the last two
34:07
years because of entertainment value.
34:09
He hasn't had 1000 yard seasons since dating Taylor Swift.
34:12
Not me 2023. Thoughts.
34:16
Travis Kelsey making excuses. Come on, hold the excuses.
34:22
You haven't played well for one reason.
34:24
You put on weight. And here's another thing.
34:27
The fact is, you don't care anymore.
34:29
You won your Super Bowls. You made your money.
34:32
You're buying and opening up restaurants with Patrick Mahomes
34:35
in Kansas City, buying real estate and sleeping with Taylor
34:39
Swift. Who's better than you?
34:40
Oh, and by the way, just made $100 million off your podcast.
34:45
I don't know why you're still playing football.
34:48
Making excuses only tells me one thing.
34:52
It tells me that you're finding ways to cry about something that
34:55
means nothing. You shouldn't be playing.
34:57
You shouldn't be playing professional football anymore.
35:00
And the NFL is going to tell you that this year when you don't
35:02
even put up 800 yards. Travis Kelce is done, ladies and
35:06
gentlemen. Put up fork in him.
35:09
You didn't like his GQ photo shoot?
35:10
No, dude, first of all, he put on a lot of weight that, that
35:16
mustache. You look, I don't know what he's
35:18
trying to do right now. His look is just completely off.
35:22
And I even on, you know, Happy Gilmore, everybody said he was
35:26
funny. I didn't find him to be very
35:27
funny at all. I mean, I, I just, I, I'm not a
35:31
big Travis Kelsey fan. And ever since he started dating
35:34
Taylor Swift, I can't stand him even more.
35:36
I, I, I, he's a Swifty. Anybody's a Swifty.
35:39
I can't. I'd be a Swifty too if I got 1.3
35:43
million people to watch my Taylor Swift episode.
35:46
Which he within one hour of them releasing it.
35:51
Neutral don't want. To be crazy speedy. #5.
35:55
James Cook gets paid by the Bills today.
35:56
Four years, 48 million dollars, $30 million guaranteed. 8th in
36:00
yards per carry, 12th and rushing yards, and 6th in
36:02
touchdown since the Bills fired Ken Dorsey and hired Joe Brady
36:05
in 23. How about handing him the ball
36:09
in an AFC title game? How about that?
36:12
How about in the fourth quarter when you were absolutely killing
36:15
them and I'm talking about Kansas City, Why weren't you
36:18
handing it to James Cook and now you're paying him, You better
36:21
start handing him the ball in the big games because to me, it
36:24
was absolutely embarrassing in Buffalo right now.
36:27
This year has a chance to go to the Super Bowl.
36:29
They had a chance last year. I think they're even better than
36:32
they were last year with some of the the acquisitions they made
36:34
in the offseason. They're better defensive team.
36:36
They have a federal offensive line.
36:38
I think they have they've built it.
36:40
They built their team around the trenches where you're going and
36:44
and very well coached team. So I, I, Josh Allen's actually
36:47
married now. So a lot to prove with marriage
36:50
and he's getting. By.
36:51
The way, is anybody watching Hard Knocks?
36:54
Yeah, I was going to say Errol, I've, I just watched the second
36:56
episode before we started that. Not only is it good they they've
37:01
never really featured a good team on Hard Knocks or a team
37:04
that was going to be good that year.
37:06
It's always controversy. Yeah, it's good.
37:08
It's they look awesome and they didn't play great, But I'll tell
37:12
you what, I I didn't expect Sean McDermott to come off as good as
37:15
he has so far. He he seems like the real.
37:18
Deal Everything that I've read about Sean McDermott is he's a
37:21
player's coach. He comes off being, you know, on
37:24
the football field mean but outside of the game of football,
37:28
very connected to his players. And you can see that at a Hard
37:31
Knocks. He has a lot of love for his
37:33
guys. He's a father figure to his guys
37:36
and I I love what I see with Sean McDermott.
37:38
I think this is a great opportunity to see one of the
37:41
best other teams in the NFL really develop into that Super
37:44
Bowl contender. So it's been fun.
37:46
The first two episodes have been really, really good.
37:49
I haven't seen, I haven't seen the second one.
37:50
Is it good? Yeah, it's.
37:51
Good. They focus on the guy who made
37:54
their team last year. That's a local kid and they call
37:56
him Buffalo Joe. He's a linebacker, Joe.
37:59
Pretty cool, Speedy. #4 all. Right, kind of a more silly 1.
38:03
So Odell Beckham allegedly retired.
38:05
Now it comes out to today and says he's not retired.
38:08
All these things are a fake. And I mean, is he really?
38:12
Is he retired or not? He just had 580 yards since his
38:14
injury in the Super Bowl. So he's pretty much retired at
38:17
this point. But what are your thoughts?
38:18
Odell, he's a pretty boy. He likes to go to card shows.
38:24
I've seen him over there playing poker.
38:26
We were in my, I'm sorry, we were in Louisiana.
38:28
We saw him jump into his car. He's all over to place Odell.
38:32
He really is. And he loses his ring in a in a
38:35
pond. What was it a 2 point $2.5
38:39
million ring or whatever it costs?
38:41
I mean the guy. Oh, and by the way, getting on
38:43
his hands and knees and praying to a net.
38:45
I mean the guy pissing on logos. I mean this guy's full of
38:49
antics. I, I think the game is past
38:52
them. I think he's a great
38:53
personality. I would have liked to see him in
38:56
Happy Gilmore town. I I would have liked to see him
38:58
in a movie. I dated Kardashian hanging out
39:02
and smoking trees and doing whatever he's doing.
39:05
Maybe he's hanging out with Stefan Digs in the offseason.
39:08
I have no idea. Was he one of the guys on the
39:10
boat? Yes.
39:11
He was absolutely one of the guys on the.
39:14
Boat the entire receiver and corner room.
39:16
Him and Bieber bus buzz Him and Bieber best buzz with P Diddy
39:20
the old didster, the diddler. Now the real question.
39:22
Since Generous Jenkins was on the boat, were there any dead
39:26
bodies we don't know about? Oh boy, here's the boat for you.
39:32
Just they basically were terrible for a decade after that
39:35
picture. Chicks with Dicks.
39:37
Just the curse of this picture is just we're still trying to
39:40
get out for Monster. Stick a finger in his.
39:42
Ass. Let's move on, Speedy.
39:43
Hold on, but by the way that picture, did you notice like
39:45
half of them are wearing jeans? Dude, it's, it's a bunch of wild
39:51
fits here going on as well. Like, yeah, I'm just going to
39:54
pose like I'm an Abercrombie. Who?
39:56
The hell is at the end of the boat looking like he's about to
39:59
jerk off of something. I mean seriously, look at them
40:02
with. The standing up.
40:04
That's Sterling Shepherd. No, not standing up on the
40:06
bottom. The last guy on the bottom left?
40:09
Who's that? That I don't know.
40:12
I don't. It's me.
40:14
How about the random chicks just in the back with like a drink in
40:18
her phone? Yeah, that's Haley.
40:20
That's Haley. I'm gonna get myself a let's.
40:24
Hope, let's hope Odell goes to the right types of parties and
40:27
not the one with the Music man that's now in some legal
40:30
trouble. You want to jerking off?
40:32
#3. I got to go back off the major.
40:36
Injury is returning, the 49ers say Brandon IU Week 6 return for
40:40
him. How much will that slow the
40:42
49ers in the beginning of the season?
40:46
I got news for you guys. The 49ers done, Kyle Shanahan
40:51
done, Robert Bambi Sala done that organization done making
40:57
the playoffs is a no no. There's no way that team's
41:00
making the playoffs this year. I unless Christian McCaffrey
41:03
goes crazy this year and breaks records, I do not see that team.
41:08
They don't have they depot's not there.
41:10
George Kittle just got an extension.
41:12
I George Kittle is not the same George Kittle.
41:14
He had a good year last year. I don't expect him to put up the
41:17
numbers that he put up last year.
41:19
And they have no wide receiver. There's not a number one on this
41:24
team. They're number twos.
41:25
There's not number ones. You know what this reminds me of
41:29
the New England Patriots. That's what it reminds me of an
41:32
absolute debacle. And by the way, Brock pretty
41:34
just got a lot of money. Good luck on that.
41:37
Who's he throwing the ball to? And the offensive line, A bunch
41:40
of old guys. They got one young guy on that
41:42
offensive line. What a joke.
41:44
Kyle Shanahan. You better be looking for a new
41:46
job because it's not going to last over there.
41:48
And where's Owen when you need them?
41:50
Where's Owen? Where's that dress?
41:52
So a withdrawal of the Brock Purdy contract?
41:54
I want to see that dress. I definitely got to see him in
41:57
that dress. First of all, Jabba, have you
41:59
spoken to Owen? How is Owen?
42:02
All the time. Yeah.
42:03
They, Yeah, just got a just got back and then his dog just had a
42:09
surgery on its eye. Actually he just got yeah, like
42:13
I'll know what it was. It wasn't like a cherry eye, but
42:16
it's like, it was like a sack that like grew up into like the
42:20
eye. Oh, man.
42:21
And like so they had to cut out like the whole like membrane
42:24
like into into her eye job. Some breeds of dogs have trouble
42:29
with the eyes. It's.
42:30
Just a thing. It's a Cane Corso.
42:32
British Bulldogs have that too. But Jabba, tell Owen I reached
42:37
out to him. I hope everything's OK.
42:38
I wanted to make sure that everything is good and and
42:41
hopefully soon we can get him on and have a little conversation
42:45
about his boring 49ers. Yeah.
42:48
Oh yeah. #2 so. That's funny, Nathan just
42:51
brought up the Giants and Jets training camp in the private
42:53
chat. They have the joy practices.
42:54
Russell Wilson and Justin Fields says they talk all the time.
42:57
Allegedly no ill will with them despite their quarterback
42:59
battles in in Pittsburgh, reuniting and joint practices
43:03
now in different teams. What are your thoughts of both
43:05
of these two? Q BS.
43:07
Oh my God, first of all, Justin Fields looks great.
43:10
I love what Justin Fields is saying at practices.
43:13
He's going out there. He feels good about himself.
43:15
I think obviously the coaching staff is working with him,
43:19
something that Justin Fields never got.
43:20
Aaron Glenn has been so good for his his personality and his
43:26
growth. I I think that's something that
43:28
Justin Fields has been craving for since he was a first round
43:31
draft pick. I think he's going to fit very,
43:33
very well with the at the New York Jets.
43:35
I think The Jets have something there and Aaron Glenn at just
43:38
his press conferences just explain a little bit more about
43:42
he who he is as a personality and something what Robert Sala
43:45
wasn't, by the way, with no whistles at practice and being
43:48
an absolute Jackass. So thank God Bambi is gone.
43:51
As far as the one and only Aaron Rodgers.
43:54
Well, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to him.
43:57
The only thing I could say is he's married to his hand named
44:00
Brittany. That's a about it.
44:01
I still have not seen a picture of his his wife.
44:05
Nobody knows besides her first name, which is kind of fishy to
44:09
me. Mike Tomlin.
44:10
Love his press conferences, by the way.
44:12
Oh, Aaron's been great. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
44:14
He's good with the players. He's good with the line.
44:16
Yeah. What?
44:18
How many Dicks are you sucking? OK, Mike, please.
44:22
I mean, seriously, I am so tired of hearing of Aaron.
44:26
Aaron Rodgers and his name. And I, I don't usually lose use
44:30
words like that, not on this show.
44:32
But the fact is Aaron Rodgers is a complete joke.
44:35
He absolutely hurt the growth to some of the young players with
44:38
the New York Jets. And what do you think he's going
44:40
to do over there with the Pittsburgh Steelers with the
44:42
young talent that they have over there?
44:44
Well, Mike Tomlin is going to be looking for a new job in the
44:46
offseason. They're not making the playoffs.
44:48
That team is not making the playoffs.
44:50
A joke, that's about it. The only thing I like is walk
44:53
out his contract. I love that kid love everything
44:56
about him. I love his training.
44:57
Has anybody go checked out his workouts on YouTube?
45:01
That guy is an absolute beast go check out his workout plan on
45:06
YouTube. I, I, I don't I'm a workout
45:09
phenomenon. I don't think I could do half
45:11
the stuff that he is doing right now so.
45:14
Like James Harrison asked. Or what?
45:16
Work. Even crazier.
45:18
Stuff. Even crazier stuff.
45:20
I'm telling you, even crazier. Stuff that's tough.
45:23
Even Bo Jackson would carry like a moose on his shoulders over a.
45:26
Man dude, that's how. Dude what is doing push ups
45:31
like? Like a handstand doing handstand
45:33
push ups at his side, Handstand push ups at his side.
45:37
Some P90X type stuff back in the day.
45:39
At his size, I mean, I'm talking about it's crazy.
45:42
It's about 265 lbs of muscle and he's doing that like I think he
45:47
was doing it like 2530 times. It's ridiculous.
45:49
It's. Ridiculous.
45:50
All right, Speedy, let's bring it.
45:51
Home number one, I'll. Make it quick, as our guess is
45:54
in too. It's funny.
45:55
It's about Aaron Rodgers now. He says the new helmets are like
45:57
spaceships, fish. There's probably a potential
45:59
future graphic for that, but that's the Aaron Rodgers
46:02
complaining about helmets. What else is he going to
46:05
complain about? The cups that they're wearing
46:07
now or the cups that he doesn't wear as we know the story over
46:11
there in Green Bay, two years into his career when he was
46:15
caught rolling around without a cup on.
46:18
I mean, Aaron's going to complain about something.
46:21
He's going to say something, he's going to complain about
46:23
something. And it's only going to get worse
46:25
as the season progressively moves forward.
46:27
The guy's a Jackass. Love him as a player. 10 years
46:30
of his career was just absolutely extraordinary.
46:32
I just don't think that this guy should be speaking.
46:34
I think it's just a zipper, his mouth and play football or host
46:38
Jeopardy or something. I don't want to hear his big
46:40
mouth anymore. Some of the stuff he believes I
46:45
I felt that he wanted to be beamed up anyway with this
46:47
spaceship. That guy's kind of wild and out
46:49
there speedy. Nice six pack.
46:52
Make sure you recycle. All right, so we have a new
46:55
segment, ladies and gentlemen. I think Mr. Bob Rathbin is going
46:59
to like this. He's a little bit older, so I
47:01
think he's going to like this. We call this in like Flynn.
47:05
My lady, I've often heard that you'd give me a warm welcome if
47:07
ever we met again. In like flan, flan, flan, yes,
47:17
ladies and gentlemen. So I we've been kind of figuring
47:20
out what we were going to talk about for the first segment of
47:23
in like Flynn. And what we're going to do with
47:26
this is pretty simple. I'm going to give you I'm going
47:29
to give a topic and I'm going to go through it my top ten and I'm
47:33
going to tell you if it's in or it's out.
47:36
So here we go. So I read today a ranking for
47:41
sports stadiums and ballparks, NFLMLBNBA stadiums and
47:47
ballparks. I've got the top ten right here.
47:50
I'm going to tell you if I'm in with going to check them out or
47:53
out because I don't want to go and check them out because
47:55
they're probably terrible stadiums.
47:58
All right, you guys ready? Lambeau Field is number one on
48:04
the list. I'm going to say I'm in on check
48:08
in Lambeau Field. I want to see those naked guys
48:11
in the audience wearing no shirts, dancing and prancing
48:14
around in the playoffs when it's below 0.
48:17
It's interesting to me to go and check out the wonderful stadium
48:21
of Lambeau Field, PNC Park. I've been to PNC Park
48:26
Pittsburgh, one of the nicest parks in baseball right now.
48:31
I don't think, and Jabba will will say that.
48:33
I think everybody would tell you PNC Park is one of the best
48:36
parks. So I'm going to give that thumbs
48:39
up. They're in.
48:41
All right, the next one, Camden Yards, Baltimore #3 that would
48:47
be a no for me. Ladies and gentlemen, Baltimore,
48:50
disgusting place to be. I hate Baltimore, MD.
48:55
I do like that it's built right by the water.
48:58
But to me, I, I don't want to see home runs getting smacked
49:02
out of the stadium. I mean, when you hear Gleber
49:04
Torres hitting nineteen home runs in a season tells me one
49:06
thing. It's just it's not a stadium I
49:08
want to go and check out. Oracle Park, ladies and
49:12
gentlemen, is number. I'm sorry.
49:13
No, not Oracle Park. Butch, is that Busch Stadium?
49:17
Busch Stadium, Saint Louis. I'm absolutely in on the
49:22
stadium. I always wanted to see Albert
49:24
pool holes play over there with Saint Louis when they were at
49:27
the top of their game and when they won their World Series over
49:31
there and when he was the best bright handed hitter in
49:33
baseball. So I'm going to put two thumbs
49:36
up. I'm in.
49:38
All right, right, Oracle park #5 San Francisco, the house that
49:43
yes, Barry Bonds built. The answer would be absolutely
49:50
yes. I'm going to say yes.
49:51
I, I love the the boats. I love the home runs going into
49:55
the water. I would love the opportunity to
49:58
go swim and go grab myself a nice home run ball.
50:03
All right, number six, Mr. Seattle Lumnin Lumen Field.
50:11
I'm trying to get it because it's a little small over here
50:13
and I'm trying to bring it up over here because I got a list
50:15
over here and it's very, very small.
50:17
Lumen Field, Seattle. I love Seattle.
50:20
Anybody go to Seattle? It is fantastic over there,
50:23
Beautiful city, rainy. The answer would be no thumbs
50:27
down. I'm not going to Seattle.
50:29
It's garbage. It's rainy.
50:31
I'm not going Fenway Park #7 been to Fenway, can't stand the
50:36
Boston people call me the Green Monster.
50:40
I'm not heading over there. I'm not going there ever again.
50:43
My answer is no thumbs down. Wrigley Field, Never been there.
50:49
That's number eight. An absolute thumbs up.
50:52
I would love to go check out Wrigley Field.
50:54
It's a beautiful stadium. 1 of the oldest stadiums right now in
50:57
professional baseball. Love to go and check that out.
51:01
Target Field, Minnesota. There's nothing to do in
51:05
Minnesota. It's cold, it's damp.
51:09
I I've been there before. I've never been to their new
51:11
stadium. It sounds like a beautiful
51:13
stadium. The answer would be an absolute
51:16
no for me and let's go Progressive Field, ladies and
51:23
gentlemen, I'm going to just go with Progressive Field.
51:26
And the answer would be an absolute no.
51:29
So there you go. That ladies and gentlemen is in
51:33
like Flynn and I. I will say this, Lambeau Fields
51:36
is a place I want to see PNC Park.
51:38
I was there Camden Yards getaway I I would love to go and check
51:42
out Busch Stadium one day in my life and Wrigley Field.
51:46
Out of all those that list, those are the stadiums I go
51:49
check out. And by the way, Joppa, you've
51:50
been to half these places. You've been to Camden Yards,
51:54
You've been to Bush. I've been to all of them.
51:57
Oh, you really? You've been to Lambo too?
51:59
Really. Yeah, you know, yeah.
52:01
And then the only stadium in baseball I didn't.
52:04
Obviously the new Braves is the only one I hadn't I didn't play
52:09
in. Dude the list is crazy.
52:11
They gave the top 100 stadiums. You know where MetLife is on the
52:15
list, guys. The 70s. 61. 61 out of what?
52:22
190 Ninety stadiums guess the. Bottom third.
52:26
Guess who has the worst out of all the stadiums?
52:29
Worst. Stadium Tropicana.
52:30
Fields. Go ahead.
52:32
What sport? What sport?
52:34
Football. Wow.
52:36
Not Tropicana Field. I would say Tropicana Field for
52:39
sure. What did you say, Washington?
52:41
Washington Commander's fields. Do you know second?
52:46
I was gonna say the Raiders, but they're not there anymore.
52:48
They they were pretty pretty worn down for.
52:50
A while Oakland. I'm just gonna keep saying
52:52
Tropicana fields. Oakland ODOT Co Yeah, those are
52:56
the I love pitching there. So they no one, no one, no one
53:00
plays there though anymore, right?
53:02
No, not, no, no, no. Those are now.
53:04
It's not. If you go to likemlb.com,
53:07
instead of like saying like Oakland, it just says Athletics.
53:11
It doesn't say anything else. You know where Yankee Stadium
53:15
is. I'm gonna go top.
53:18
Same middle like dead middle. No, I'm gonna go 2029.
53:24
Say 48. 42. Speedy, how about you scoops?
53:29
I'm gonna go around job, I'm gonna say 30 flat.
53:32
That's you've got both close 37 Yankee Stadium 37.
53:37
So there you go, top. Half top half.
53:39
Yeah, what's the, what's the what's #1?
53:41
Number one is Lambeau Field. You know where the Mets City
53:44
Field is. Should be pretty high.
53:46
They're higher, I would say like 21.
53:47
The speedier, almost dead. 21 Blackjack for real.
53:52
He's almost dead. Yeah, almost dead, Right?
53:54
Almost. 2020, 3/20/2020. City Field Stadium.
53:59
Good stadium. And these are all voted by all
54:03
the media guys that obviously work in the media world.
54:06
So and I was looking at it and I wanted to figure out what we're
54:08
going to do in like Flynn. So I'm going to go thumbs up,
54:11
thumbs down, in or out. So I those are the the top 10
54:16
stadiums of professional sports right now.
54:19
What's your favorite stadium you've been to already?
54:21
My favorite stadium, My favorite stadium, Wembley Stadium.
54:32
Wembley was the the coolest stadium.
54:35
I first of all, the biggest I've ever been to, I mean, it's crazy
54:39
and. I I still say old Yankee Stadium
54:42
was awesome. So I actually got a chance to DJ
54:45
at Wembley Stadium. That was the first time I got a
54:47
chance to see Wembley Stadium. That was where Queen and all
54:51
the, you know, The Beatles, they all got a chance to play over
54:54
there and I actually had a chance to play at Wembley as it.
54:58
Is it like 120,000 or something that could?
55:00
Fit more than that crazy more than that 90,000 when it comes
55:03
to seats. But on for a concert.
55:06
On a concert you could fit over 100,000 people in there easy.
55:09
I think it can get to like 150 or something.
55:11
Place was packed. Out if you pack it out.
55:13
Oh my God. Cool.
55:14
Yeah, globally they love their house music.
55:17
So that place packed out for like a full week and they were,
55:21
we were doing concerts for like 12 hours.
55:24
It was ridiculous. And people would stay.
55:26
People would stay the whole time and party and get effed up.
55:30
So it was crazy. It was some of it was like
55:33
Woodstock of house music and it was just crazy.
55:36
There was like every day there was like 20 different DJs that
55:39
were going up there spending house music.
55:41
It was absolutely enormous, it was.
55:44
The record was 126,000 people. Yeah, it's.
55:48
A lot of people holds a lot of. People holds a lot of people.
55:51
It was it was something that you you you can only imagine
55:54
experience seeing and I can't explain it.
55:57
The people and the craziness over there when it comes to
56:00
house music. It's really remarkable.
56:02
It really is. Thank you to all the fans on
56:05
obviously, Spotify, Apple, all the Tik Toks that we're on from
56:10
Worldwide Sports Radio Network and Chop in the mouth,
56:13
Instagram, Facebook, Worldwide Sports Radio Network, YouTube,

On Monday at 8:45 we have Jayden Fielder.

56:45
Milwaukee Brewers organization will be joining us at 8:45

57:03
Is anybody doing anything fun on the weekend?
