• 0:11
  Speaker 2: the clip where I got to ask a World Series
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: champion for the New York Yankees a question on AM
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: nine seven and the answer specifically Culinary Confidential with Christina Cats.

  Speaker 2: All right, So remember how I had Christina on my
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: podcast weeks after she called into Lucas Ferraro's show Shake
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It Off on AM nine seven. The answer, Well, that
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: podcast led to her getting a radio show every Sunday
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: night nine to ten pm. And guess what, we had
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Johnny Damon on the show last night, and I got
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to ask the World Series champion himself about those two
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: thousand and nine walk offs. Remember how almost every game
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: there was a walk off for the Yankees and he
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and Burnett and Swisher were part of that energy every
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: walk off win. Well, I got to ask Johnny Damon,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: thanks to Christina Kates, about that very question on last
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: night's Culinary Confidential with Christina's Kate producing association with Lucas
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: A Ferrara. Listen, Alexy Engineer has a question he wants
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to ask you. Well, I know We've seen you other
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: on the stadium a long time ago, so this is
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: great to reconnect with Christina's show your walk off wins
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and O nine though, you guys were so much energetic
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and you Swisher and Burnett led the charge after every
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: walk off. Tells about that specifically because I had fun
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: watching all the walk offs of nine.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we had such a great team that year.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, our lineup, you can put it up against
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: any in the history of baseball. When you're eight and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: nine hitters or Nick Swisher, Milkie Cabrera, I would say
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that's that's pretty good. But the walkoff wins, I remember
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: we had so many in a row with Thin. We
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: had a no guy at it, Like if we were
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: down in the game, We're like, we know how to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: come back. We've done it plenty of times this year.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So we had a team that I wish we could
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: have stayed together for a few more years, but especially
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: with the pitching staff with Burnette and CC. But those
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: walk offs are fun. AJ Burnett was keing at flapping
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: shaven cream in your face at first, but I do
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: know that we switched to cool whip later because shaven
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: cream just absolutely crushed our eyes and sure, and we
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: love the taste of cool whip, so of course we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: got to do that. We're on a culinary show. That's right,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: don't you forget it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: While he was promoting his new drink a game, actually,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Christina made some news with Johnny Damon. She asked him
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: about the facial hair policy. This highly topical and highly
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: someone's a controversial rollback of tradition and the New York Yankees.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Can we talk about how you were known as the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: cave Man? What is that reference regarding Well, the cave
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: man has to be with my beard and my long hair.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So in two thousand and three, I ended the season
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: getting a concussion and I never should have played in
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that series against the Yankees because I was absolutely wiped
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: out after the first inning. So during the off season
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I had to go see a chiropractor all the time.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I was sleeping all the time. My concussion was so
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: bad that people want to see it, they can go
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to sports science Johnny Damon, and it's every time I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: see it, I cry. It's so awful. And then during
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the off season, like February rolled around and I'm still
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: not moving, not working out, and like my hair's long.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I always grew my beard during the off season because
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I always go skiing, which are not supposed to but
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I love snow skiing'll so everything was growing. And then
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, one day, I was like, I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: need to start working out. So I live in this
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: town in Florida where there's a twenty five miles per
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: hour speed limits sign, and I'm very fast, So when
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: these cars would start coming by, I would try to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: make work out and have fun. So I would start
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: racing these cars, and a lot of people said, there's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a caveman like the running down cars, and so that's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: where a cave man came and with my long hair,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and yes, I love it. I kind of looked like
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the guy from the Guyico commercials, so I think they
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: made him because of me. How did you feel about
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: having to cut it all off when you join the Yankees?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You know what, George stein brother was the boss. He
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was paying me thirteen million dollars a year. I was
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: going to respect what the boss wanted and the tradition
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of the New Year Yankees, and I wasn't going to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: argue that it's just a guy I am. I feel
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: like I'm a professional about going about my business like
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: whatever the boss wants, you'd better pay attention or you're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: not going to have this job. That's great.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited that this show has launched and now
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: welcomed a world series champion on Culinary Confidential because you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it's it's just special to see the evolution from this
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: podcast to radio. Now welcoming Yankee and Yes, Red Sox
