Latest / OneLegUpAlex Media / Highlighting Jack Curry's One Leg Up On the 1998 Yankees Ahead of Old Timers' Day
Transcript
- 0:12Here's your host, Alex Garrey. Obviously, they are honoring the nineteen ninety
- 0:21eight Yankees in the Bronx today, and I wanted to give at least one
- 0:26little snippet from my interview back in May with one Jack Curry about this very
- 0:34team in this book, the nineteen ninety eight Yankees. Now, I'm eve
- 0:40been doing a book term, but I don't have anybody's asking this question.
- 0:43Should people read along the book as they're watching Yankee Classics from nineteen ninety eight.
- 0:47I feel like there's such a parallel, like you could almost read into
- 0:50it as the game's watching on Yes Network. What do you say, Alex?
- 0:54My advice would be to buy this book first of all, Read it
- 0:58while you're watching Yankee Classics. Read it while you're watching Netflix. Read it
- 1:00while you're watching the Michael k Show. Read it while you're on an airplane.
- 1:06I just want people to get their hands on this book. I'm saying
- 1:08that tongue in cheek, but I'm very proud of this book. I think
- 1:12there are a lot of untold stories in there, a lot of behind the
- 1:15scenes details that people were unaware of. I spoke to virtually every player from
- 1:19that team, every player is represented, and I think if you're a fan
- 1:23of the Yankee, is a fan of baseball, even just a fan of
- 1:26leadership and greatness, you'll see what made that team great. And you can
- 1:30listen to the entirety of it in the Sports Spotlight section and in the description
- 1:37link below. But I did have a couple of things to say. We're
- 1:41gonna have a busy weekend of interviews. Johnny Vieira of He's got an app
- 1:48out about election integrity and come and really bringing in more integrity and allowing you
- 1:56to do it as well, called votifying. Now, we'll get into that
- 2:00over the next couple of days, and then hopefully today we get to record
- 2:05something for you over the weekend in honor of nine to eleven. It is
- 2:08a very somber day Monday, and it always is around this time, especially
- 2:15when you roll down to one eleven Broadway where I work and see all the
- 2:20barricades start to go up as the memorial plans are being made and set up
- 2:24for and then you realize that day's here again. That's when it hits you,
- 2:30when you see the barricades all along in preparation for the memorial. Oh
- 2:36Wow. We're in September, We're at nine to eleven again. It's been
- 2:39a fast summer. It's been a great summer. And Monday we'll take time
- 2:45out to honor and really mourn that day twenty two years later. And so
- 2:55hopefully I have a a military member who was actually named Joint chiefs of Staff
- 3:07Post nine to eleven. We will catch up with him, miss doctor G.
- 3:16Moran, who is Wow. Was that military background and really an experience
- 3:28that I feel nine to eleven shaped his career in a way because of the
- 3:34opportunities he got after the tragedy of nine to eleven. We'll talk to doctor
- 3:38Moran about that hopefully over the weekend. So a lot going on in the
- 3:44Alex Garrett podcast network. And one other thing that Spreaker has been doing I
- 3:49want to bring your attention to is that if you post the spreaker link and
- 3:57you get impressions from that link only, how you get a ten percent boost
- 4:02in your revenue. So if you're an ad share client or a podcast,
- 4:08or if you're a rev share podcast or and you're in the ad exchange place
- 4:13and whatnot, you'll get a ten percent boost if you are heard through the
- 4:19Spreaker player more than other players, although the fact that they syndicate these shows
- 4:27on the other podcast platforms is pretty neat. And of course there's powered by
- 4:30iHeart now as iHeart has really I believe, Oh I don't know if they
- 4:35bought them out, but they definitely have taken ownership of Spreaker, as you
- 4:43could tell on the main page that's Spreaker from iHeart. So very cool to
- 4:47have that partnership. And the iHeart was really the first show that started to
- 4:51accept this whole brand, and that's about ten years ago now. So everything
- 5:00continues on. Everything keeps going strong, as does One Leg Up with Alex
- 5:05Garrett, hospitals staying all doctor's appointments and oh we're still here and kicking and
- 5:12have a one Leg Up. So have a great day and if you go
- 5:15to old timers, say tomorrow, enjoy it. Yanks so looking interesting towards
- 5:20the end of the year, and I don't know, I don't know what
- 5:25is going to happen with all of that, but I have to say the
- 5:30fact the kids are up and making a difference. We talk about Brian Cashman
- 5:33as well. I think that Brian bringing them up is showing that he can
- 5:42cultivated pharma system. I just think sticking on with Hicks and Donaldson as long
- 5:46as he did, and especially not calling him up after Judge went down.
- 5:51That's also been a question mark I've had. And of course the NFL's up
- 5:58and running until lou Terminal will Terminalo's take on Monday. That's the plan.
- 6:01Stand. I see the Lions beat the Chiefs last night to kick off the
- 6:08NFL season. Kind of a surprise, but heck, here we are.
- 6:12It's September and old Timer's Day is tomorrow. Derek Jeter makes an appearance.
- 6:16But before you go or on the go, you can listen to Jack Curry's
- 6:23conversation on the Sports Spotlight. So glad he came on me and we'll have
- 6:29to do it again soon. But enjoy this little run the Yanks run.
- 6:31I don't know how long it lasts, and especially enjoy my conversation with one
- 6:38Jack Curry of the Yes Network linked below in the description. Or well,
- 6:44fanatics Friday drop a deal there as well. We'll talk to you soon on
- 6:47the Alex Garrett podcast Network
