  It's very, very easy. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:18
  he's never, I don't remember him being on a show.
• 1:21
  He's never been on a show. And very surprising because
• 1:24
  we've had a lot of Hall of Fame play by play guys on our show.
• 1:27
  And we are now talking to one, the one and only Hall of Fame,
• 1:31
  play by play broadcaster. The one, the only.
• 1:35
  Yes, the Atlanta Hawks. The Atlanta Hawks broadcaster.
• 1:39
  Bob Rathbin. Bob, what's up, buddy?
• 1:43
  Hey guys, it's good to be with you.
• 1:45
  How are you all? We're good, man.
• 1:47
  I mean, obviously you're doing better than we are.
• 1:49
  I mean, how many sports are you broadcasting right now being a
• 1:53
  play by play guy? You're doing football, you're
• 1:56
  doing basketball, college basketball, you're doing NBA
• 1:59
  basketball, you're doing WNBA basketball.
• 2:02
  Who's better than you? Bob, it's a very short list.
• 2:07
  No, I'm just kidding. Listen, I've been doing this
• 2:10
  since I was 12 years old and I was on the air full time when I
• 2:15
  was 19. I would not know how to get
• 2:18
  another job. So I'm very fortunate that it
• 2:20
  all worked out. It definitely has.
• 2:23
  I mean, you're a Hall of Famer. How many Hall of Famers are
• 2:26
  there in broadcasting? Not many of them, especially
• 2:28
  play by play guys. So it's pretty incredible.
• 2:31
  We have one of them on the show. We've interviewed a lot of them.
• 2:34
  Speedy has got a lot of Hall of Famers on our show.
• 2:37
  I'm intrigued to hear what you got to say about your Atlanta
• 2:40
  Hawks because I can't stand two players on that roster right
• 2:44
  now. One of them that was just traded
• 2:47
  to your team. And Chris tops for singers, but
• 2:49
  one that every single time he comes to Madison Square Garden,
• 2:54
  he has interesting things to say about the fans.
• 2:58
  The one and only Trey Young. Your thoughts to two guys that I
• 3:02
  can't stand. Well, I've got to get to know
• 3:07
  Porzingis. I, I only know him from afar.
• 3:09
  He's played against this with about 10 different teams, so
• 3:12
  it's going to be fun to have him on the Hawks.
• 3:14
  But of course, everybody's favorite villain is Troy Young.
• 3:19
  You love to hate because of all of his antics, but I tell you
• 3:22
  what, in the history of NBA, there are very few people at his
• 3:27
  size who've been able to do what he has done.
• 3:31
  You know, three times he's led the league in total assists.
• 3:33
  He led the league in average assists last year.
• 3:36
  And this guy's, you know, barely 6 feet tall and weighs 180 lbs
• 3:40
  silk and wet. And for him to do that in the
• 3:42
  land of the Giants is is pretty remarkable.
• 3:46
  You know, it's it, but it is I must say it is a big year for
• 3:49
  Trey because it's he does not have an extension on his on his
• 3:54
  contract yet. It could happen, but I think
• 3:57
  they're going to play out the year and they've surrounded him
• 4:00
  with a really good team and I think it's up to Trey now to
• 4:03
  make it into a playoff team and a team that could maybe finish
• 4:08
  in the top four in the Eastern Conference this year.
• 4:11
  So I think he's got a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
• 4:13
  So in your time broadcasting the Atlanta Hawks, they actually had
• 4:16
  the longest playoff streak in the NBA for a while too, with
• 4:19
  the guys like Kyle Korver, Jeff Teague, Al Horford was a younger
• 4:22
  player. What was it like?
• 4:22
  Broadcast got a lot of those players and a lot of the they
• 4:25
  didn't make the NBA Finals, but good playoff runs that they had.
• 4:29
  They did. It was a lot of fun.
• 4:30
  I think the sixty win team that we had, what was it 10 years
• 4:34
  ago, something like that was was so exciting because it it just
• 4:39
  kind of came together. We were a 500 ball club around
• 4:41
  Thanksgiving and just caught fire all of a sudden and did
• 4:45
  something that no team and NBA history has ever done and I
• 4:49
  doubt we'll ever do again. And that was to play the entire
• 4:52
  month of January and go unbeaten.
• 4:55
  That's that. It's unheard of.
• 4:57
  And this team did it. They won 19 straight games at
• 5:00
  one point, which, you know, that's a basically a quarter of
• 5:03
  your entire 82 game schedule. So it was a pretty remarkable
• 5:07
  run. And I swear, if we could have
• 5:10
  stayed healthy. And how many times have you
• 5:12
  heard that in the last 10 years? As a Nick fan forever.
• 5:15
  If, if, yeah, if you, if we could have stayed healthy, I
• 5:18
  really think we're going to go to the finals.
• 5:19
  I don't know that we would have beaten Golden State, but I think
• 5:22
  we would have beaten Cleveland. We sort of had their number, but
• 5:26
  by the time we got to the Eastern Conference Finals, we
• 5:28
  were gassed and half the guys were banged up and we couldn't
• 5:32
  pull it off. But it was a remarkable run.
• 5:34
  It turned the city on fire. And you know, our our sports
• 5:37
  history down here in Atlanta is not the best.
• 5:40
  We've come close with several of our teams.
• 5:42
  The Braves have broken through a couple of times, but overall
• 5:45
  that's more heartbreak than anything else.
• 5:47
  But that was our year is a lot of fun.
• 5:50
  Yeah, Bob, as you like look back on your career, which you know
• 5:55
  spans decades and and not many people can say that is, is there
• 5:59
  one moment where we all have that I've made it moment and for
• 6:03
  somebody that's done it as long as you have, what was what was
• 6:07
  that like? First one where you like, you
• 6:09
  know what, I belong here and and I think I could do this for a
• 6:12
  long time. Oh boy, that's a great question.
• 6:16
  I, I think probably going from my hometown, a small town in
• 6:23
  North Carolina to go to work in Norfolk, VA.
• 6:27
  And it doesn't sound like that big of a leap.
• 6:30
  But when you're a young, when you're a young guy just starting
• 6:33
  off and all of a sudden you're in a Top 40 market and you're on
• 6:37
  radio and TV and you're calling football, basketball, AAA
• 6:42
  baseball. I was there at the start of the
• 6:45
  regional Sports Network when when all that sort of came into
• 6:49
  existence in the 80s and to do Orioles games and Bullets games
• 6:54
  and stuff like that. Now that might not move the
• 6:56
  needle for anybody else, but it, it really did make me that that
• 7:01
  feeling you're talking about, which is, hey, you've arrived.
• 7:03
  You, you've got enough talent to do this.
• 7:06
  Now it's a matter of getting better and, and, and improving
• 7:11
  and moving up the ladder. And I did from that, I went on
• 7:14
  to career at CBS and ESPN and you know, we've been here in
• 7:18
  Atlanta 30 years doing the Hawks, which is an incredibly
• 7:21
  long run for anybody in any chair in broadcasting.
• 7:24
  And but I, I look back at that. That's a great question.
• 7:28
  I, I never really had thought about it, but I think that move,
• 7:30
  your first big job, sort of gives you that confidence that
• 7:35
  you, you somebody wanting to take a chance on you and you got
• 7:38
  a shot. We are talking to Hall of Famer,
• 7:41
  broadcaster for the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Dream, and
• 7:45
  many different college football and basketball games.
• 7:48
  The one and only Bob Rathbin. You know Bob, I am a big and
• 7:54
  I'll, I'll say this because I've been a big fan of Dominique
• 7:57
  Wilkins. I love his slam dunk contest
• 7:59
  with Michael Jordan. I love the back and forth banter
• 8:02
  that he had against the the one and only Celtics.
• 8:05
  I mean, Dominique Wilkins was one of my favorite high flying
• 8:10
  basketball players of of my time watching basketball in the late
• 8:15
  80s and early 90s. What was it like getting a
• 8:19
  chance to watch this guy play every single day?
• 8:24
  Well, not only that, but I, I had a chance to broadcast his
• 8:27
  games when he was in high school.
• 8:29
  And we, you know, he grew up in North Carolina.
• 8:32
  I grew up in North Carolina. And the team that I broadcast
• 8:35
  for ended up playing his team in the state tournament.
• 8:38
  And then when I got to Norfolk, VA, talked about I was doing Old
• 8:41
  Dominion and we played Georgia in an NIT game that Nick played
• 8:46
  in, and I got to broadcast that. And then I had a chance to
• 8:49
  broadcast him in the NBA and he's been my partner on the
• 8:51
  Hawks TV broadcast for the last 15 years.
• 8:54
  I was just going. To so we have, we have been
• 8:56
  joined at the hip for a very long time.
• 8:59
  And I'll tell you guys it, it's with what happens today with
• 9:05
  load management and all this other nonsense that goes on.
• 9:09
  People just don't have an appreciation of, you know,
• 9:13
  unless you're older, but appreciation of what Dominique
• 9:17
  Wilkins brought every night. He did not disappoint.
• 9:22
  I mean, he played every game. There was no load management.
• 9:26
  He he was out there and he was in a in an Eastern Conference
• 9:31
  with the Celtics and Bird, the Pistons, the Bulls, Milwaukee,
• 9:36
  Philadelphia, when the East was like the West is today.
• 9:39
  And he brought it every night. And I don't think people today
• 9:43
  really can appreciate just how great he was and how hard he
• 9:47
  played. You know, it's funny, we talk
• 9:49
  about this a lot. He, it was a badge of honor back
• 9:56
  in the 80s and 90s in the NBA to play every game.
• 9:58
  He just didn't come out. You know, first of all, you
• 10:01
  know, the money wasn't that big and you were kind of scared of
• 10:04
  losing your job in a way. But you you played every night.
• 10:08
  It wasn't even a thought of taking a night off, and then
• 10:12
  today it's a badge of honor to see how many games you can miss
• 10:14
  and still get paid. That's, that's the crazy thing.
• 10:17
  I'm sorry to cut you off. That's the crazy thing.
• 10:19
  And I, I don't like the way the NBA works anymore.
• 10:22
  And Michael Jordan said it best many, many times.
• 10:25
  And I, there are many documentaries I've read about
• 10:27
  Michael Jordan, he said play people.
• 10:29
  Fans are coming to watch us play.
• 10:32
  They're going to buy our sneaker.
• 10:33
  I'm playing 82 games in a season because they're coming to see me
• 10:37
  play. I think the players don't
• 10:39
  understand. That's why they don't they come
• 10:42
  to see these players play. It's not about it's not about
• 10:45
  how many games they can sit out to play in a playoff game.
• 10:47
  It's about how many people want to go to get a chance to watch
• 10:51
  LeBron James play because he's only going to be in a league for
• 10:53
  a certain amount of time. How many players want to see
• 10:55
  Mano Ginobili and and Tim Duncan play because there's only a
• 11:00
  certain amount of time that you going to get a chance to see
• 11:01
  them. And some of these people over
• 11:04
  the years, when you when you go to see a game, because Popovich
• 11:08
  was one of those guys that really, you know, trotted his
• 11:10
  players out and say, OK, you're sitting tonight and you're
• 11:13
  playing. You're sitting tonight and
• 11:15
  you're playing. Greg Popovich was the one that
• 11:17
  started this. I mean, I don't know if you
• 11:19
  know. I'm sure you do know that, Bob,
• 11:21
  but he's the one that started this.
• 11:23
  And the only reason he got away with it is because they won.
• 11:27
  If if they had not won championships, it probably would
• 11:30
  not have caught fire. But it's such a copycat league
• 11:33
  that, that, that oh, well, the Spurs did it.
• 11:36
  So let's let we'll try it. You know, it's nonsense.
• 11:40
  Look at the dunk contest. Nick will say, if you hadn't had
• 11:45
  him on your show, he would say, why did you compete in all these
• 11:48
  dunk contests? So we did it because of the
• 11:50
  fans. The stars of the game owed it to
• 11:54
  the fans to go out and perform. They didn't care who won.
• 11:59
  LeBron James has never been in a dunk contest.
• 12:05
  That's hard to believe. I've got something.
• 12:08
  I've got something for you, Bob. I got something for you.
• 12:11
  Because it's not the NBA. It's the LJA, the LeBron James
• 12:15
  Association. I've said this many times on
• 12:18
  this show, Adam. And I'll say that Adam Silver
• 12:22
  over the years has been LeBron James's bitch.
• 12:24
  OK, Just speaking the truth here.
• 12:27
  LeBron James does whatever he wants and he gets away with it.
• 12:30
  And the problem right now with the NBA really stirs because of
• 12:34
  what LeBron James has done over the Could you, could you tell me
• 12:38
  a season LeBron James has ever played 82 games?
• 12:41
  How about this 80 games in a season?
• 12:45
  Could you remember? Yeah, probably it is younger
• 12:48
  days, but certainly that's not the case now.
• 12:52
  But I do think, I do think that's changing.
• 12:54
  I, I think with our younger stars, I think that is, is
• 12:57
  changing. But you take a guy like Anthony
• 13:00
  Edwards, an Atlanta native, just getting a plug in for the
• 13:04
  hometown kid. But you know, Ant man wants to
• 13:07
  play, wants to compete, giving it all his all every night
• 13:10
  doesn't take any nights off. Victor Wimbanyama, when he's
• 13:13
  healthy, I think he's going to be a guy that's going to play
• 13:15
  every night and not come out of games.
• 13:17
  I, I think that's changing and I and I do think it's changing for
• 13:20
  the better. Owners, shift gears to something
• 13:23
  earlier in your broadcasting career.
• 13:25
  In 1987, you did Arena Bowl 87 with Lee Corso, who's one of my
• 13:28
  favorite, one of my favorite college football guys.
• 13:30
  What was he like then, and is he like any different from what he
• 13:33
  is now? No, he's he's the best.
• 13:36
  Oh my God, he's the best. When he was coaching Indiana, I
• 13:39
  don't know if you guys know this story, but they had a game at
• 13:42
  Ohio State and at the Horseshoe and Indiana somehow scores on
• 13:49
  their first possession. You're like, they win the
• 13:51
  opening toss coin and and they get the ball and they go down
• 13:55
  the field and score. And Corso takes the entire team
• 14:00
  out onto the field, gets the team photographer out there and
• 14:04
  they take a picture of the entire Indiana football team
• 14:08
  with the scoreboard in the background.
• 14:09
  Indiana 7, Ohio State, nothing. And court penalty flags are, you
• 14:16
  know, there's a hundred flags on the field.
• 14:17
  Woody Hayes is losing his mind. But that was Lee Corso.
• 14:20
  And that's the same guy that you saw all those years on ESPN.
• 14:24
  Funny as all get out. He was terrific.
• 14:26
  We had so much fun in the summer of 87 doing arena football.
• 14:32
  You I want to talk about the Braves tenure that you had
• 14:37
  because being a kid from Nebraska, we we got the Braves
• 14:41
  every day. So I grew up a Braves fan for
• 14:43
  TBS. So appreciate that.
• 14:45
  So a lot of lot of days here in you and and all that stuff on
• 14:49
  Fox Sports like that team in the 15 pence, but then only went in
• 14:53
  once. Like to call a team with such
• 14:56
  great talent and all the time and to come up short like being
• 14:59
  there and seeing it every day. Was it just as frustrating for
• 15:02
  you as it was for me as a Braves fan growing up?
• 15:05
  Yeah, it was, you know, probably in the early to mid 90s when
• 15:12
  they were at their absolute best.
• 15:14
  You know, I think down here they feel like the 96 was was the one
• 15:19
  that really got away. You know, to be up to nothing,
• 15:24
  to win both games at Yankee Stadium and come home and not be
• 15:28
  able to put it away. You know, the Layrits 1 nothing
• 15:31
  game prob. You know, it was just a dagger
• 15:35
  down here. But when you got into the later
• 15:38
  years of that run, they really weren't the best team.
• 15:41
  I mean, they were beat up in 99 when they lost and you know, it
• 15:45
  was just they were great. The the NL E was not that
• 15:49
  competitive. So they they were able to
• 15:52
  dominate the division. But I thought the early 90s when
• 15:55
  they finally got it going, the Minnesota series, you know, in
• 16:00
  91, they should have won that one.
• 16:02
  Probably they they broke through in 95, should have won in 96.
• 16:07
  So if they'd have won those three, I think we'd have a much,
• 16:10
  much different opinion about that Braves dinosaur.
• 16:13
  We are talking to Hall of Famer play by play broadcaster Bob
• 16:16
  Rathbin. And by the way, this guy's a
• 16:18
  legend when it comes to broadcasting the Atlanta Hawks,
• 16:21
  Atlanta Dream right now, WNBA, and both college football and
• 16:25
  college basketball. He's done it all, ladies and
• 16:27
  gentlemen, for decades. You know, you look at the NBA,
• 16:31
  in the state of the NBA right now, we're going into a new
• 16:33
  season. A lot of questions on right now.
• 16:37
  Who is going to be the dominant force in the West and a dominant
• 16:41
  force in the E 1st with the East, the Eastern Conference,
• 16:45
  obviously over there in Boston, no Tatum this year.
• 16:48
  He's out for the season. A lot of moves that Boston has
• 16:51
  made, so they might fall out of the top two.
• 16:55
  Could you see the Knicks being the number one seed right now in
• 16:59
  the Eastern Conference? And as far as the West is
• 17:02
  concerned, who do you think is it Houston after the move they
• 17:06
  made with Kevin Durant? Is there another team that you
• 17:09
  see right now, young team that could surprise everybody out of
• 17:13
  the Western Conference, just not just the OK C Thunder?
• 17:17
  Oh, other than OK, C yes, Well, I, I think for sure the Rockets
• 17:23
  are a team that, you know, they they learned the hard way last
• 17:26
  year, right? I mean they they got a big dose
• 17:28
  of reality in the playoffs. So I think that will serve them
• 17:31
  well. They're still fairly young team.
• 17:33
  Obviously they they add KD, but you know, that's still a bunch.
• 17:37
  That's that's learning how to win, you know, major trades.
• 17:41
  So a reconfigured team, but I think Houston is going to be
• 17:44
  pretty good. The thing I love it the most
• 17:47
  about it. It's wide open.
• 17:49
  I I just think this is the best thing that's happened in the NBA
• 17:52
  in years. I mean, come on, Cleveland and
• 17:55
  Golden State in the Finals? Four straight years.
• 17:58
  I mean. Dullesville now everybody's got
• 18:02
  a chance and I think everybody's fan base is energized.
• 18:06
  There's only a handful of teams that are going to be, you know,
• 18:09
  really bottom feeders, the Utah, Washington, you know, Brooklyn,
• 18:14
  people like that. But it from the middle of the
• 18:16
  top. I think it's great.
• 18:17
  I think anybody can, can, can make a move, and that just
• 18:20
  invigorates a fan base and it really caps interest in the full
• 18:25
  82 because that's something I think that's been lacking for
• 18:29
  NBA fans that, you know, a Tuesday night in January.
• 18:32
  Well, you got a chance now. See a really competitive game.
• 18:34
  So yeah, I'm, I'm all for parody.
• 18:37
  I think it's fantastic. Of course, that's, you know, the
• 18:40
  voice of the Atlanta Hawks speaking.
• 18:42
  You know, I'm all for knocking the big boys off and everybody
• 18:45
  having a chance. But I, I do think that's kind of
• 18:47
  where we are in the East. You know, you got three major
• 18:49
  injuries with Halliburton going down and Dame Lillard going
• 18:54
  down, going down, that that makes a big change at the top of
• 18:59
  the East. I don't think anybody in the
• 19:00
  East is scared of anybody else and that's going to make it
• 19:03
  great. You know, it's so interesting
• 19:04
  because Le Bron James has been really the talk of the NBA over
• 19:09
  the last, I would say 2 weeks and Luka Don Chick just got a
• 19:13
  big contract. He was the only one of his
• 19:16
  teammates not at that conference call.
• 19:20
  And then all of a sudden he, he, he sends, he sends
• 19:24
  congratulations to Luka Dodgic on Twitter, on X, and that's
• 19:28
  all. Does LeBron James at the trade
• 19:31
  deadline play for another team? Do you see him staying with the
• 19:35
  Lakers, especially when the Lakers look like they're going
• 19:38
  to start to rebuild around Luka Dodgic?
• 19:43
  Well, you know, the the sun is starting to set on his career.
• 19:48
  I mean, he's still give him his due, you know, for 40 years old,
• 19:52
  he's still getting it done. Like few players in our league
• 19:55
  can get it done. But he's on the downhill slide.
• 19:58
  There's no question about that. And I think the biggest question
• 20:02
  is not so much his stats or winning and stuff like that,
• 20:06
  It's his ego. Can he handle being the second
• 20:09
  banana to Luca? I don't know.
• 20:12
  We're going to find out. But the thing about him leaving
• 20:15
  the Lakers, that means he also has to leave his son.
• 20:17
  And I don't know that that is going to happen.
• 20:21
  He may ride it out to get Brawny through, but you know, the end
• 20:27
  is coming. And it's the first time really,
• 20:31
  since he's got established in the early days in Cleveland that
• 20:35
  he is not the face of this league.
• 20:38
  He's not the most dominant player in this league anymore.
• 20:42
  And I don't know that he can handle that.
• 20:44
  That's gonna be very interesting to see.
• 20:46
  So my last question, I know you spent some time with the
• 20:48
  Washington Bullets, so one of the friends of our show is
• 20:50
  Charlie Slows, the play by play voice of the Washington.
• 20:52
  Yeah. Have you had any experiences
• 20:54
  with him? Oh yeah, back to Virginia when
• 20:58
  Charlie was coming along. He did the team that I did the
• 21:02
  Tidewater Tides, then a Mets AAA affiliate.
• 21:05
  So yeah, we've known Charlie for years.
• 21:09
  What a what a fine young man and great broadcaster.
• 21:11
  I, I mean, I'm going to end this with with this from my last one.
• 21:14
  How much longer do you want to do this?
• 21:16
  You know, I, I think often of a quote from Don Shula, the Hall
• 21:21
  of Fame football coach, and he once said, the closer I get to
• 21:26
  the stadium, the faster I walk. And I still feel that way, guys.
• 21:31
  I love the games. I, I still get excited about
• 21:37
  preparing. You know, we get the schedule
• 21:39
  tomorrow. It's like the half, I'm like a
• 21:40
  kid on Christmas Eve tonight. I can't wait to get my hands on
• 21:43
  the schedule tomorrow, see where we're going, where the travels
• 21:48
  will take us. And I, I'm just a, a kid in that
• 21:52
  regard. So I still love it.
• 21:54
  I think the big thing for me is I've still got my health
• 21:57
  enthusiasm to do it every day. And I love the players.
• 22:01
  And we're, you know, they're, we're 50 years apart, 40 years
• 22:05
  apart and you know, they have my back.
• 22:10
  I've got their back. I love them and I love traveling
• 22:13
  with them and being with them. It's just so great.
• 22:16
  And, and I hope that, you know, the Hawks and the NBA will allow
• 22:20
  me to continue to do it because I absolutely love it.
• 22:23
  I love our fans. We have such great interaction
• 22:25
  with them. I'm sitting next to a Hall of
• 22:27
  Famer every night and Dominique Wilkins having a blast, so I
• 22:31
  hope I get the chance to do it for a long time to come.
• 22:33
  Well, I'm cool with Charlie Slows and he's another guy.
• 22:36
  He's a broadcaster that's worked for many different leagues from
• 22:39
  the NBA down to the MLBS, the nationals radio broadcaster,
• 22:43
  voice of the the Washington Nationals.
• 22:46
  And I asked him when it when is it going to be over for you?
• 22:49
  And, and we're very close and we have these conversations all the
• 22:51
  time. And he says, well, as long as
• 22:53
  I'm getting a paycheck week by week, I'm going to be here.
• 22:56
  So I, I do believe that is the way Charlie and I, I wouldn't, I
• 23:01
  would not want to hear anybody else but you, Bob, for what you
• 23:05
  do, not only for the Atlanta Hawks, but you are really been
• 23:08
  one of the voices of NBA basketball.
• 23:11
  I really do appreciate the time, not only as a personality on
• 23:15
  what you do for the radio and television, but who you are as a
• 23:20
  person and a person that I look up to.
• 23:21
  So thank you for joining us and I definitely off air, I'd love
• 23:25
  to have a conversation with you. You're a person that I would
• 23:28
  love to pick your brain with. You're a sensational human
• 23:31
  being. And I just can only imagine your
• 23:35
  wife all these years getting a chance to hear you and and your
• 23:39
  kids getting a chance to see what you have done as a
• 23:41
  professional. It's an amazing, amazing career
• 23:44
  as a broadcaster. Broadcaster.
• 23:46
  Thank you so much man. Well, that I that that really is
• 23:50
  kind of you to say that, and I appreciate that we do it all for
• 23:53
  the fans. And yes, reach out to me
• 23:55
  anytime. Love the chat.
• 23:58
  I'm I'm pretty easy to find, so you can e-mail, text, whatever.
• 24:03
  Love, love the interaction and and love to spend time with you.
• 24:07
  Absolutely. He's been fantastic.
• 24:09
  Thank you, Bob. We'll definitely talk to you
• 24:11
  soon, man. I'll definitely reach out to
• 24:12
  you. Congratulations on the great
• 24:14
  career that you've had and many, many, many, many, many, many,
• 24:18
  many more years to go. Thank you so much.
• 24:21
  Thank you so much. Great being with you.
• 24:23
  Thank you. Bob Rathben, fantastic, one of
• 24:26
  the best in the business guys, one of the best.
• 24:30
  Everything that he is doing right now, not only for the NBA
• 24:33
  to WNBA, it is amazing how long he's been doing it and doing it
• 24:38
  at a high level. It's it's sensational.
• 24:40
  Just think about it. You're talking about four
• 24:43
  decades, 4 decades of maybe even a little, almost almost 5
• 24:49
  decades of, you know, being a broadcaster for somebody like
• 24:53
  that to pick somebody's brain in this industry, those are the
• 24:57
  guys you want to pick their brains because these guys are
• 25:00
  the best in the business. And, and for him to do it as
• 25:03
  long as he's done it and at a high level, those are the guys.
• 25:06
  Guys, if you didn't hear that interview, that is a sensational
• 25:09
  interview. He's and guys, when you talk
• 25:12
  about the top 10 play by play NBA guys, he's definitely in the
• 25:17
  top 10. So if you're an NBA fan, he's
• 25:20
  he's one of the best in the business.
• 25:22
  So just to have him on a show, it's to me, it's an honor.
• 25:25
  I think everybody would say that Jabba, I mean, Speedy is
• 25:30
  infatuated right now as we speak.
• 25:32
  I mean seriously, look at him. He's fantastic.
• 25:38
  All right, we got another segment, a new one.
• 25:42
  We call this the one and only Jabba rules.
• 25:47
  Jabba rules. I got the bubble gums.
• 25:51
  I'll let you lick my butt. Here we are for another edition
• 25:56
  of Jabba Rules. Jabba, they gave you a lot of
• 25:59
  rules back in the day. Why don't you tell us what
• 26:02
  rules? You know what I'm going to, I'm
• 26:04
  going to go on the positive side.
• 26:06
  We fish and I were talking earlier and we're kind of going
• 26:09
  to keep you guys on your toes with this one in I wanted to
• 26:13
  talk about something that rules not only in the game of
• 26:16
  baseball, but also in in our hearts and in our parents.
• 26:21
  I would like to give a hats off to actually having Major League
• 26:25
  Baseball step up and let players be players and have players
• 26:28
  weekend and get to do some some really cool things and show
• 26:32
  their personality, their hometowns, you know, their
• 26:34
  families and and stuff like that.
• 26:36
  And specifically, I wanted to touch on Juan on on a subject
• 26:41
  that, you know, we we didn't want to harp on too long because
• 26:44
  it's that guy didn't deserve the amount of time that we actually
• 26:47
  talked about it. But could tell Marte obviously
• 26:49
  losing his mother and going through what he did, you know,
• 26:55
  this this year and having to deal with that.
• 26:58
  And he got gifted. I don't know if you guys have
• 27:00
  saw this, but he got gifted for for players weekend a a custom
• 27:06
  bat with a picture of him and his mother in the shape, like in
• 27:10
  a heart around it. And you could just really,
• 27:13
  really, you know, see the joy and the smile and his eyes start
• 27:17
  to well up and just how much you know, that meant.
• 27:21
  And then I was kind of like I was thinking how that rules.
• 27:23
  But then I'm like, at the same time, I'm like, you know, what
• 27:26
  if you what if you get jammed and and you break the bat and
• 27:29
  it's right beats in and splits you and your mom up.
• 27:31
  I'm like, maybe I don't want to use that bat, but just to be
• 27:35
  able to have that opportunity to, to share that memory and the
• 27:40
  bad company to be able to do that.
• 27:42
  And, and for Major League Baseball to allow these, you
• 27:47
  know, players weekends where, you know, it, it back then you,
• 27:50
  you really couldn't, you know, show your personality per SE
• 27:54
  with like one of my favorite is when they first started it,
• 27:58
  Shane Bieber and his jersey said, not Justin, like, you
• 28:02
  know, just just where you get AC, you know, the personality of
• 28:07
  guys. Another one of my favorites was
• 28:09
  the Seeger brothers and they just like younger brother and
• 28:13
  like just just being able to do that.
• 28:15
  And I, I think it, it shows and it gets the younger crowd and,
• 28:19
  and for me, it's, it's something really, really cool.
• 28:21
  And the Catelle Marte just kind of said it over the top because
• 28:24
  I look forward to these, you know, players weekends to see,
• 28:28
  you know, kind of, you know, more more of their personality
• 28:32
  instead of just, you know, the baseball players side.
• 28:34
  And you know what, you know, maybe their interest, maybe
• 28:37
  they're into, you know, anime and something and we've seen,
• 28:41
  you know, cleats and stuff like that.
• 28:42
  So yeah, that's something that I wish I was able to do.
• 28:46
  But, you know, I think it it it rules in the aspect of letting
• 28:49
  these letting these guys be themselves and, you know,
• 28:53
  showing a little bit of the funny side with, you know, names
• 28:55
  on jerseys and and these really sentimental things too, that
• 28:58
  that mean a lot to these guys at play all.
• 29:01
  Right, that's what rules, according to Jabba.
• 29:05
  I will say this and I, I don't usually, you know, express
• 29:09
  myself with my private life, but I for the show today and, and
• 29:14
  really for the last three hours, my sister's been in the hospital
• 29:17
  and she sent me a message before the show telling me that she had
• 29:22
  a partial heart attack and she was rushed to St.
• 29:27
  John's Hospital. So my heart goes out to my
• 29:30
  sister. I hope everything's OK.
• 29:31
  I haven't really spoken to her. She's been dealing with what
• 29:35
  she's been dealing with and it's been hard doing the show and
• 29:39
  thinking about her and getting text messages with her, her
• 29:42
  boyfriend and and my niece through the show.
• 29:45
  It is, it's not very easy concentrating on all the stuff
• 29:49
  that's going offset of the show. So I'm, I'm trying to be a, a
• 29:53
  player here and a, and a team player here and, and I'm trying
• 29:57
  to get through the show, but it's been really, really hard
• 30:00
  throughout the show. I told Speedy, I was telling
• 30:02
  poops during the break what I've been dealing with during the
• 30:05
  show. It's not it's, it's, it's very,
• 30:07
  very hard to do something like this knowing that one of your
• 30:10
  family members is, is not doing so well in the hospital.
• 30:12
  So I'm my, if my sister's listening, what she probably
• 30:16
  isn't right now. I hope she's OK so.
• 30:19
  Same here, hopefully I'm praying for her.
• 30:21
  So all right, that's, that's been, it's been going on
• 30:27
  throughout the show. I've been like, I've been really
• 30:29
  trying to get through the show and, and trying to keep my head
• 30:33
  up and, and think it's not easy doing this.
• 30:35
  So it's, you know, anyways, we got a new, we got another
• 30:40
  segment. He's in, ladies and gentlemen.
• 30:43
  Goodies. Bag of balls.
• 30:45
  My mom was going to wire a car battery on my testicles.
• 30:47
  Trying to put Tiger. Bomb on this jungle's nuts.
• 30:50
  Goodies Bag of balls. That's how you become great,
• 30:53
  man. And your balls out there.
• 30:55
  All right. Well, I hope your sister, I hope
• 30:57
  your sister is doing good. That's scary, man.
• 30:59
  It's scary. It's crazy because she called me
• 31:02
  today and she told me that her her left hand was going numb and
• 31:07
  today and I'm like, why aren't you calling 911?
• 31:10
  And she was crying to me on the phone.
• 31:12
  I said call 911. I called a boyfriend, then I
• 31:16
  called my mother and then I said Samantha call 911.
• 31:20
  So she called 911 and then I got a text before the show getting
• 31:23
  out of the shower. She says the doctors in here
• 31:26
  right now told me that I had a partial heart attack.
• 31:28
  So they admitted her into Saint John's Hospital and she's
• 31:32
  getting tests done right now as we speak.
• 31:34
  She'll probably be there for a couple of days.
• 31:36
  So, you know, I've been dealing with this the whole show trying
• 31:40
  to, you know, trying to get my mind off of it.
• 31:42
  It's just, it's so it's just so hard to do that when you have a
• 31:45
  family member in the hospital right now.
• 31:47
  And hopefully she's doing OK so. Yeah, that's crazy, man.
• 31:51
  Well, I hope she is all right. I hope that, you know, at least
• 31:53
  you guys caught it early. So inside 2020.
• 31:57
  Well, all right, we'll get off the somber topic there.
• 32:00
  This August, August 11th, UFC President Dana White announced
• 32:04
  that they got a massive $7.7 billion partnership with
• 32:08
  Paramount. And it doesn't only include UFC
• 32:11
  events, but it also is including power slapping.
• 32:15
  Have you seen the power slapping?
• 32:17
  Yes. Of course, flat fighting show
• 32:19
  within this package. All right, So to me, I think
• 32:22
  this is going to be wild to see on mainstream combat
• 32:25
  entertainment and how this is stretching into the fighting and
• 32:29
  stretching into slap fighting. There we go, right?
• 32:34
  Boom. The deal signals just how much
• 32:37
  value Paramount sees in a niche, even if it's a fringe content to
• 32:43
  attract eyeballs and subscribers across their ecosystem.
• 32:49
  I'm expecting a little bit of backlash from the combat
• 32:53
  fighting purist, but I will say it is definitely entertaining to
• 32:59
  watch grown men slap the absolute shit out of each other.
• 33:01
  Now I've watched it, I've I've got a chance to check out some
• 33:04
  of the different tournaments that they have, the heavyweight
• 33:06
  division, the light heavyweight division, the welterweight
• 33:09
  division. It's, it's it's pretty
• 33:10
  remarkable. Dana White's been supporting
• 33:13
  this for a while. He goes to all the events he
• 33:16
  supports. Didn't he start it?
• 33:18
  No, he didn't start it. He actually now is promoting it
• 33:22
  and help running the organization because the
• 33:24
  organization is just so poorly run and the way they're
• 33:28
  promoting it. So he's helping promote the
• 33:30
  product and that's why he's got a deal with Paramount.
• 33:33
  He brought them in on the deal with Paramount and that was one
• 33:37
  of the deals that he he made. Because here's the thing, what
• 33:40
  I've heard is ESPN wanted to re sign them.
• 33:43
  ESPN wanted to take them back on after bringing in the WWE.
• 33:47
  The problem is Dana White wanted to bring in power slapping and
• 33:51
  and I I was. I think it's a great idea.
• 33:54
  I think it is. I think obviously the combat
• 33:56
  sport fighting right now, especially the UFC, there's very
• 34:00
  few big fighters right now. They're they're trying to
• 34:02
  develop certain young fighters to come up.
• 34:05
  We've, we talk about it all the time.
• 34:07
  There's, there's still some of those veteran fighters that are
• 34:10
  keeping it afloat. But power slapping has been a
• 34:13
  unique sport and it's promoted all over the Facebook and
• 34:18
  TikTok, you know, platforms. I definitely enjoy doom
• 34:22
  scrolling and and catching a clip of freaking.
• 34:26
  It is it is right, Errol, you're right.
• 34:28
  It like it on TikTok like everywhere.
• 34:31
  It's the the ones that get me though is when they do the slow
• 34:34
  moan it shows like their jaw like on the other side.
• 34:37
  What I don't understand is. Have you seen the one where the
• 34:40
  women slap their butts? Yeah, I've seen.
• 34:43
  That's in a different country though.
• 34:45
  Yeah, like he needs to buy that one.
• 34:47
  What I don't understand is why are they holding like a pad on
• 34:50
  the like putting it on the back of their back?
• 34:53
  I understand the whole mouthpiece thing because they,
• 34:55
  they don't, they don't want to have a concussion, but I, I, I
• 34:58
  don't get that whole pad thing that they're holding in the back
• 35:01
  of their, their arms when they're getting smacked in the
• 35:03
  face. I, I don't get that.
• 35:05
  I really don't. But I didn't even know Dana
• 35:07
  White obviously created this thing.
• 35:09
  But I as a kid, I did slap boxing in Brooklyn.
• 35:13
  And it's different because in slap boxing you have to stand in
• 35:17
  a box, you can't pass the line or you get a free slap.
• 35:20
  Slap boxing has been around for forever.
• 35:23
  So to make it a professional sport, it's pretty unique.
• 35:26
  It's pretty cool, so. Congratulations.
• 35:28
  Will it be the neck Olympic sport?
• 35:30
  No. And what country will take over?
• 35:33
  Probably one of those like weightlifting countries in
• 35:35
  Eastern Europe. That's pretty cool.
• 35:36
  That Dana White. You imagine the mountain you
• 35:38
  know the mountain from. What's that?
• 35:43
  The yarn board? Yeah, Game of Thrones.
• 35:46
  Game of Thrones You imagine the Mountain slapping you.
• 35:48
  No broken neck instantly. How about Andre the Giant
• 35:52
  smacking the crap out of you? Could you imagine?
• 35:55
  His hands like this, His hands take my whole face off.
• 35:58
  Could you imagine? But the crazy part too, they do
• 36:00
  it. They do it and the like.
• 36:02
  The prize money isn't crazy. Like no out there it's like 2550
• 36:07
  grand or something. It's more than UFC fighters.
• 36:10
  Do you know the undercoat of the UFC is $10,000 10 grand?
• 36:14
  That's what they make. That's if you win.
• 36:17
  Yeah. No, no, no, it it depends.
• 36:19
  Now obviously, if you fight of the night.
• 36:21
  You can get like fight of the night for like 50 grand.
• 36:23
  But I, I think it's $10,000 no matter what, win or lose, I
• 36:26
  think you get $10,000 because what are you fighting for?
• 36:30
  If you're on a, if you're the undercard of a like a main event
• 36:34
  or something like that, you're getting, I think it's $10,000
• 36:37
  win or lose. I think the winner gets a little
• 36:39
  bit more than that. But you don't make any money.
• 36:42
  You don't make nothing. That's why Jake.
• 36:44
  Yeah, Good. Isn't that why Jake Paul's the
• 36:47
  same with boxing? Like that's why Jake Paul's
• 36:49
  trying to promote the boxing thing, help the help the fight.
• 36:51
  He also just, I don't know if you saw, he gave like $5 million
• 36:54
  of Ben Askren who had a collapsed lung, which I thought
• 36:57
  was pretty cool. Well, Ben Askren is is a guy
• 37:01
  that Jake really doesn't like, but he went out of his way to to
• 37:04
  try to help the guy. The guy was dying and to go out
• 37:07
  of his way to get him along and, and all the other stuff and
• 37:10
  promoting it. I think Jake, Jake Paul is very
• 37:14
  well, well respected in the industry outside of the lines of
• 37:18
  the stupidity in his promotion. So you can't take shots at him
• 37:22
  and Logan. They're they're money grabbers.
• 37:24
  They're they're marketers. That's what they do for a
• 37:26
  living. But as far as I'm concerned,
• 37:28
  what Jake is doing, he's attacked Dana White on not
• 37:31
  giving insurances and and stuff like that to the fighters that
• 37:34
  he has in his, in his company and his corporation.
• 37:37
  I think Jake's right. And that's why Jake has now
• 37:40
  become a promoter and he's pushed boxing, boxing and combat
• 37:43
  sports and trying to promote it with MVP.
• 37:45
  I think Jake Paul's doing a great job on just trying to
• 37:48
  market his product and getting his product to the top.
• 37:50
  So. My first year.
• 37:52
  Well, let's move along. Let's talk a little bit about
• 37:54
  baseball is the Houston Astros are now without their prime
• 37:58
  closure here, Josh haters. So their star closer.
• 38:01
  We know Josh Hader, we see him with the Brewers.
• 38:03
  We've seen him now with Houston. He signed that big massive like
• 38:07
  what was it, 3470 something $1,000,000 deal.
• 38:10
  He's been placed on the injured list with a shoulder injury,
• 38:13
  which is obviously creates a massive void in the back end of
• 38:17
  the bullpen for the Houston Astros.
• 38:19
  Hater this season has converted 28 to the 29 save opportunities
• 38:24
  and the bullpen path forward is going to be is up for grabs.
• 38:27
  I don't know what Joe's spot is playing.
• 38:29
  Dude has shifted if it's going to be a pitch closure by
• 38:33
  committee, but they do have Brian Abreu and others.
• 38:37
  So who is he going to trust in this situation and who, who is
• 38:42
  he going to rely on, you know, to move forward to, to get to
• 38:46
  this playoff push? It's already a bullpen that was
• 38:48
  struggling in the after the All Star break anyway, even when
• 38:50
  hater was healthy. So they're whatever roles
• 38:53
  they're in now, they're going to have to be a lot more creative.
• 38:55
  Obviously they'll rely on the starters to get more length,
• 38:58
  which they've gotten with some of them.
• 38:59
  But it's still not the it's not the Astro system of pitching
• 39:03
  that we've seen in the past either that you're seeing.
• 39:05
  Even though they're winning the division right now, it doesn't
• 39:08
  still feel like they're like this overpowering identity at
• 39:11
  this point. Yeah.
• 39:13
  I mean, Abreu close tonight, I think that's probably the
• 39:18
  direction you're going to go and everybody kind of just filters
• 39:21
  up. But yeah, they've struggled a
• 39:23
  little bit in the second-half and it's it's interesting and
• 39:27
  haters, one of the guys that's really, I mean, it's stayed
• 39:29
  pretty healthy for for his tenure over the league, so.
• 39:32
  I mean, at some point they knew he was going to break down like
• 39:35
  his, yeah. I mean, yeah, he's and he's
• 39:37
  thrown a lot. And I mean, and that's not even
• 39:39
  including dry humps in there too.
• 39:41
  And that's when it came about. He got dry humped and then
• 39:44
  that's when he was like he was barking.
• 39:46
  And then that's when they that's when they did the MRI, so.
• 39:50
  Fucks do as a shoulder elbow. OK, you can.
• 39:55
  Worst case scenario, let's say you either break your
• 39:58
  electronon, you know, or you have Tommy John surgery, right?
• 40:02
  A shoulder shoulder's a whole different animal to come back
• 40:05
  from. Yeah, that.
• 40:05
  Well, yeah, and in your shoulder too.
• 40:08
  It could. I mean, elbow.
• 40:09
  It's like you hear flexorship. Elbow goes like this.
• 40:13
  Shoulder goes like this. Yeah.
• 40:15
  So I mean, it could be your rotator, your labrum, your
• 40:18
  capsule, like your bald side, like the shoulder is so
• 40:21
  different. I mean, we all have, you know,
• 40:25
  slapped tears in our lab room. I mean, mine's 60% torn.
• 40:28
  It's just some some bark worse than the others.
• 40:32
  But yeah, shoulders, shoulders are definitely a lot different
• 40:34
  than than elbows, especially these days.
• 40:36
  Elbow now it's like, oh, you're having this.
• 40:38
  Cool, See ya. Yeah, my shoulders.
• 40:41
  My first interaction with Doctor James Andrews in Pensacola.
• 40:46
  I sat down on the table and he goes, all right, big man,
• 40:50
  shoulder, elbow. I go elbow and he goes thank
• 40:52
  God. The other thing too that he
• 40:54
  wasn't a closer his whole career either.
• 40:56
  He was like a 2-3 inning super reliever before he.
• 40:58
  Became the Yeah, he was closing, but he was getting the big boy
• 41:03
  saves 2-3 innings. He was getting old school and
• 41:05
  then and then he got prima Donna and he was like, I'm not doing
• 41:08
  that anymore. I'm only doing 1 inning saves.
• 41:10
  Remember that playoff? Like right at the playoffs he's
• 41:12
  like, Nope, only one inning. Only one inning.
• 41:15
  He's getting 8 winnings a year like it wears on you.
• 41:19
  What is that guy making now? 1820 million.
• 41:21
  I think it's, I think it was a set five year 95, so I think
• 41:24
  about 17. Yeah, 5 and 95, yeah.
• 41:26
  So he's getting paid. He's fine.
• 41:28
  I mean, he but The thing is, is like that guy's on a trajectory
• 41:31
  to be one of the greats and this is definitely going to derail
• 41:35
  him. I mean, his strikeout, his
• 41:37
  innings pitch, the strikeouts are ridiculous.
• 41:39
  His saves are ridiculous. His stuff is ridiculous and he's
• 41:44
  been pretty reliable for the bulk of his career.
• 41:46
  So I don't know, it's going to be pretty interesting to see
• 41:49
  what Houston does. I'm not a big fan of closer by
• 41:52
  committee, to be honest with you.
• 41:53
  I think it's it sucks when you're sitting down there and
• 41:56
  you don't really know who's closing that night.
• 41:58
  Now they give you a little bit of a heads up, but at the same
• 42:00
  time, like when the phone rings that their their decisions can
• 42:03
  flip based on who's up in the lineup.
• 42:05
  So I think if you stick with somebody you stick with, with
• 42:08
  Bray, you and you just ride them.
• 42:10
  Isn't that practically half the teams right now that are trying
• 42:14
  to make the playoffs? They're it's really there's no
• 42:17
  closer. I mean, the Yankees, how many,
• 42:19
  how many guys are they using at the closing position they have?
• 42:21
  No, they should just left Weaver.
• 42:23
  I like Weaver as a closer. I know he's not like your big
• 42:26
  time power stuff, but he throws strikes.
• 42:29
  Like, yeah, you go and sign Devin Williams, but Devin
• 42:31
  Williams isn't pitching well in New York.
• 42:33
  So it goes. I mean, and Weaver did it in
• 42:35
  situations to where he like, and that's that's the crappy part
• 42:39
  too, is, yeah, you, you bring in Devin Williams, obviously
• 42:43
  different animal in Milwaukee than what Luke Weaver did and
• 42:46
  and proved like. And that might have that might
• 42:48
  have weighed on him too. You know, he's he's had his
• 42:50
  struggles a little bit like man, I did everything I could to to
• 42:53
  earn this and you bring this dude in.
• 42:54
  He's absolutely and all over himself and he's pitching to an
• 42:58
  11 and I'm still not getting a shot.
• 43:00
  Like, I mean, it's a, it's a, it's a kick in the Ding a Ling,
• 43:04
  that's for sure. Oh dude, it sucks.
• 43:06
  Absolutely sucks A. Kick in a Ding a Ling only job.
• 43:11
  I don't, no. I feel it because that, that,
• 43:13
  that that's massive, like contract, like for sure if
• 43:17
  you're closing in New York and you're doing a well, like a good
• 43:19
  enough job, like every team wants you.
• 43:22
  You. Can pretty much have your pick.
• 43:24
  Of the yeah, they're like there's media scrutiny like boom
• 43:28
  yeah and he's. You can pitch in New York, you
• 43:30
  can pitch pretty much any. Yeah, it's a kick in a dingling.
• 43:33
  Yeah, that's perfect. It's a kick in Dingling for
• 43:35
  sure, like the last one. I think you guys will like this.
• 43:38
  This is a little bit of a conspiracy theory here, but
• 43:41
  Michael Parsons contract stalling to boost the Netflix
• 43:44
  hype. Fans and media outlets are
• 43:46
  speculating that the Dallas Cowboys are deliberately
• 43:49
  delaying the contract negotiations with star
• 43:51
  linebacker Michael Parsons to drum up attention for their
• 43:54
  upcoming Netflix documentary called America's Team.
• 43:59
  The Gambler and his Cowboys set the debut on August 19th.
• 44:03
  The idea is that the ongoing contract drama will keep the
• 44:05
  team and the doc buzzworthy in the weeks leading up to the
• 44:10
  release. I don't know if I believe that
• 44:12
  story. I've heard about it.
• 44:13
  Me and Fish were speaking about it today that this documentary
• 44:17
  is coming out. And there were stories coming
• 44:19
  out that Jones was dealing with cancer one of the years.
• 44:23
  So I I mean, I don't know if this mic.
• 44:26
  Apart. Did he say stage 4 for like a
• 44:29
  decade or something like that? I haven't had surgery.
• 44:31
  I have no idea. I haven't when the documentary
• 44:34
  comes out. Who knows what?
• 44:36
  That I'm watching right now, the SEC documentary.
• 44:38
  It's fantastic. Anybody.
• 44:39
  Pretty good the first one. I watched it last night, the
• 44:41
  first episode pretty good. I think it's fantastic.
• 44:44
  I've watched 3 episodes already. I want to finish it up probably
• 44:47
  tomorrow is sensational. If you like college football or
• 44:50
  you want to learn a little about a little bit about the inside
• 44:53
  back end of college football and the SEC, obviously it's the best
• 44:57
  conference, maybe three class Yeah, come on that's right.
• 45:00
  It was fantastic. It's been fantastic, but.
• 45:02
  I watched the first episode with Kate last night and we she fell
• 45:05
  asleep. But I got through it, through
• 45:07
  some of it and I'm just like, I'm looking at it.
• 45:09
  I'm like man, college is so cheesy.
• 45:11
  Like. Some of this, I mean, listen,
• 45:13
  it's good. Like I like the way.
• 45:15
  That, hey, do you think, hey, do you look back and do you think
• 45:17
  like, we were like, we were that stupid doing that stuff?
• 45:21
  I want to cringe, like when I see some of these things that
• 45:24
  they're doing, I'm like. Please tell everybody that's
• 45:27
  why, like I don't think college coaching college baseball like
• 45:31
  it's fun. I enjoy the players.
• 45:32
  I like the, you know, I like the guys and stuff, but I'm like
• 45:34
  Kate, I would never, I would never do that.
• 45:37
  I can't stand watching the SEC obviously any giving Saturday,
• 45:43
  that's what it's called SEC any giving Saturday.
• 45:46
  I can't stand Brian Kelly and I can't stand him more.
• 45:49
  Watching that documentary just makes me want to hate him more
• 45:53
  for. The first episode, I thought he
• 45:54
  was OK. Like, I was like, all right.
• 45:55
  I like the way he coaches. There's a lot of.
• 45:57
  There's a lot of. Why?
• 45:58
  Because he's coaching your Tigers.
• 46:00
  Oh no, they don't get me wrong. Like he hasn't won anything.
• 46:03
  So people are out for his head like he hasn't won anything.
• 46:06
  And I told her last night like he hasn't won.
• 46:08
  That's why he can go 10 and three, but it's not good enough.
• 46:11
  Not good enough for should never left Notre Dame.
• 46:13
  He should. Have never lost.
• 46:13
  Left him. I agree.
• 46:17
  I agree with that. I agree with this statement, but
• 46:20
  I mean he's with us now. My thing is, is like if the
• 46:24
  players respect him and the players actually like him and
• 46:27
  the players will play hard he's. An ass.
• 46:30
  As long as he doesn't do a stupid accent.
• 46:32
  Oh God, he. Yeah, I think they should have
• 46:35
  kept coach out like you've got to keep coach.
• 46:37
  Cocho is Louisiana State University football, but.
• 46:40
  You know what I like and you'll get a chance if you watch it,
• 46:43
  you go watch deeper into it. Vanderbilt, which they're the
• 46:46
  worst SEC team. Like when it comes to college
• 46:49
  football, the the coach over there is trying to rebuild that
• 46:54
  team. I think it's fantastic what he's
• 46:56
  doing over there and and when you get a chance to check out
• 46:59
  what he's trying to do and how he recruits players, it's pretty
• 47:02
  amazing how he's doing it. So I'm telling you, go check it
• 47:05
  out. You have to be smart to get into
• 47:07
  that school, yes. But they're not a college
• 47:09
  football school. They're a college.
• 47:11
  No, they're a baseball school. They're a great baseball.
• 47:13
  School. They're a great basketball
• 47:14
  school, too. What we really need is did you
• 47:17
  see the group chat with the Benig arrow?
• 47:18
  How bad W was going to get Brian Kelly?
• 47:20
  Like he said, he hated him even 10 times more.
• 47:22
  Dude, Brian Kelly's at Jackass. He really is.
• 47:25
  He's a complete and his family, you could just see when his
• 47:28
  father's father's still alive. All his brothers, they're all
• 47:31
  jackasses. Every one of them.
• 47:33
  All the Kelly's, they're just stupid.
• 47:35
  Listen, I don't know the man personally.
• 47:37
  I will say he needs to start winning the the the big show
• 47:41
  that you know he needs it. He needs to win at least one if
• 47:43
  he wants to stick around. He's.
• 47:44
  Not but one over there. He's not winning.
• 47:47
  We'll speak. They can't even develop defense
• 47:49
  anymore. Remember they used to be like
• 47:50
  cornerback you for a while. They have such bad defenses for.
• 47:53
  Years, I will say this. He's had brilliant offenses,
• 47:56
  Jay, you know, but he but aside from that, like it hasn't.
• 47:59
  I mean, he's the defense is what we were usually known for is our
• 48:03
  defense. No, he's an offensive minded
• 48:05
  coach. It definitely is ever since he's
• 48:07
  gotten there. And by the way, I watch out for
• 48:10
  Florida the the Gators this year in Langway.
• 48:13
  I'm telling. You they always play all of you
• 48:15
  good, but they're not. Watch out for Langway and you
• 48:18
  got a chance to get to know him during this this.
• 48:22
  I like the Weeks brothers. I will say that Weeks and.
• 48:26
  Of course you like them. Yeah, that guy, that kid plays
• 48:29
  hard, man. Well, it's now we.
• 48:32
  It's now it's not the weeks, brothers.
• 48:34
  And now it's just the weeks it's.
• 48:36
  One the weeks, hey? Well, last.
• 48:38
  Thing here 2 No, it's. Not off topic.
• 48:41
  Not 2A. Little off topic, but I'm going
• 48:43
  to hear your take on the show. Hey, Otani deal that's going on
• 48:46
  here. You got to.
• 48:48
  Listen to the beginning of the show, man.
• 48:49
  I get a chance to you'll you'll I get I was coaching you.
• 48:53
  Get to listen to it later. You could always listen to the
• 48:56
  replay of the show like everybody else, yeah. $250
• 49:00
  million sabotage's deal, pending it on his a.
• 49:02
  Typical Shayo Otani. What a.
• 49:05
  Story. We spent an hour on it, dude.
• 49:08
  Like, yeah, there's a lot. It's wild, that story.
• 49:11
  That is a wild I missed it. I don't even know what's going
• 49:14
  on, like I don't. All I read was to.
• 49:16
  Tell you this, Jabba supports Shay Otani still as we speak.
• 49:22
  I. Think.
• 49:23
  I think Jabba and Shay Otani. I think Jabba should be Shay
• 49:26
  Otani's agent. That's what I think.
• 49:29
  I I. Would love to be his agent.
• 49:31
  I I because Jabba Chamberlain. It doesn't matter what Shay
• 49:35
  Otani is a part of or what he's doing, Jabba says.
• 49:38
  It's not true. I stand behind it.
• 49:41
  There's no proof. Innocence.
• 49:42
  No. Proven guilty.
• 49:43
  My dad worked in a prison. There's a lot of innocent people
• 49:45
  in prison, so. That's true.
• 49:47
  I mean, I agree with that statement.
• 49:49
  I agree with that statement. It's hard.
• 49:52
  It's hard to believe that the two biggest baseball stories
• 49:55
  that come out he's a part of and you say that he's innocent.
• 49:59
  That's all I'm going to say. I do not believe.
• 50:01
  That I don't know. I mean he.
• 50:02
  Wasn't involved goody they saying he didn't even know about
• 50:06
  it. Again he didn't know about it
• 50:08
  wasn't him. Nah.
• 50:09
  He doesn't know he. Was a guy associated with him?
• 50:11
  Yeah, he doesn't know nothing, absolutely has no clue what's
• 50:14
  going. On what was he trying to do
• 50:15
  though? He's trying to build a buy a.
• 50:17
  House or property for him to sell his injury apartments.
• 50:21
  It's kind of what they do with Trump.
• 50:23
  Like Trump doesn't own Trump Towers, they just pay for.
• 50:25
  His Here's the crazy thing, he signed off on it.
• 50:28
  So is is John Hancock is on it. So don't tell me he knew nothing
• 50:32
  about it. That is the.
• 50:33
  Point OK, where's this John Hancock?
• 50:36
  Have you seen this personally? That's what they said, that's
• 50:39
  the. Story OK, so you believe
• 50:40
  everything that said 100? Percent OK, 100%.
• 50:43
  Everything that's said on the Internet. 100% I believe it.
• 50:46
  I believe the. Story.
• 50:47
  If you believe everything, then you believe that this damn
• 50:50
  meteor that's coming over here is a damn mothership filler.
• 50:53
  Aliens. I believe none of you know The
• 50:56
  Who John Hancock was. He's the first one to sign the
• 51:00
  Declaration of Independence. Yeah, but besides that, who was
• 51:04
  he? Like what do you mean?
• 51:07
  Like he was an important. Person.
• 51:08
  He was the first person to have his John on his cock.
• 51:12
  He financed the Sons of Liberty. Speedy, did you get?
• 51:15
  That yeah, that's super. Well, it's John Hancock
• 51:17
  Financial. Right.
• 51:19
  Yeah, it is. Speedy, did you get that?
• 51:22
  But he was the president. I don't want to get involved in
• 51:24
  any conversation. Is that what they call the
• 51:26
  toilet bowl? The John.
• 51:29
  No, that's actually from the John From No, from not Rob.
• 51:33
  Yeah, from from Robin Hood. The John from Robin Hood.
• 51:36
  Speaking of in Lake Flynn, that's King John, The evil King
• 51:40
  John. That's where it comes from, Yes.
• 51:42
  Or at least that's what Mel Brooks said in his movie.
• 51:44
  I could be wrong if that's actually true.
• 51:46
  Yes, Little John. Little John.
• 51:48
  Mel Brooks, Yeah. Who was the guy?
• 51:51
  Who? Who?
• 51:52
  Okay. Who did Eyes Wide Shut?
• 51:57
  That was Kubrick. Kubrick I got some kind of stuff
• 52:00
  on Kubrick. Yeah, you definitely staged them
• 52:03
  by. The way, just for all the Cowboy
• 52:05
  fans, Micah Parsons will be a Cowboy before the season starts.
• 52:09
  He will get his contract. He's going nowhere.
• 52:11
  The only team that has a chance to get him is the Rams.
• 52:14
  It's not happening. I want to see Aaron Donald in
• 52:16
  him. That would I would.
• 52:18
  I would love and by the way, Aaron Donald, man, I've been you
• 52:22
  know, I follow his social medias.
• 52:23
  That man could still play at the top of his dude.
• 52:27
  The guy is built like an ox. I've never seen a guy his size
• 52:31
  have an 8 pack. That guy has an 8 pack.
• 52:33
  I it's it's unbelievable. It's it's.
• 52:35
  Crazy. It's absolutely.
• 52:40
  I'm telling you, dude, that guy is is unbelievable.
• 52:43
  And he came in, he was overweight and everybody was
• 52:45
  from Pitt and they were like, oh, this guys overweight.
• 52:47
  He's never going to amount to anything.
• 52:50
  Teams passed up on him. I Odell Beckham, I think, was
• 52:53
  drafted beforehand. Right, and it was weird because
• 52:56
  the Rams weren't even like considered a team on on their
• 52:59
  radar to take him because they had Michael Brockers and they
• 53:01
  had Nick fairly like they had set a defensive tackle and then
• 53:04
  he just became. They.
• 53:05
  Just didn't realize he wasn't fat Speedy.
• 53:08
  They didn't realize that some guys that he was shorter.
• 53:12
  Some guys are just built thick like.
• 53:14
  That you know when he hear something crazy that I heard
• 53:16
  about him, he could do like 350 push ups without stopping.
• 53:21
  That's what I've heard. That's what I've heard.
• 53:23
  I I couldn't believe it, but there was a story that I've read
• 53:28
  that he could go 350 push ups without stopping.
• 53:30
  Full It's like Saquon's build adding like 50 lbs of muscle.
• 53:35
  It's crazy. Yeah, he's pretty yoked.
• 53:37
  I'm not gonna lie. He's pretty yoked.
• 53:40
  The. Guys, it's crazy.
• 53:41
  It's. Crazy.
• 53:43
  I would advice much are the size of my freaking legs.
• 53:46
  Dude, that guy, I've watched this guy, his workouts and but
• 53:51
  I've never seen. Yeah, I've seen that too.
• 53:54
  Yeah, that's ridiculous. Bro what?
• 53:57
  How much? What is he throwing up right
• 53:58
  there? One 30s.
• 53:59
  That's like I've seen him do one 50s like that and do.
• 54:02
  It just pump him out incline no problem.
• 54:05
  Do it like nothing, yeah. Those are one 30s.
• 54:08
  I think the most I do now is like 7.
• 54:10
  Warm up set. Warm up set.
• 54:12
  You could do 70s. I give you credit for that.
• 54:14
  Incline I could do 70s. Incline, yeah, OK, that's not
• 54:18
  bad. That's like, did you ever hear
• 54:20
  like when you see Aaron Donald, but like James Harrison, why he
• 54:23
  always wore sweats? Yeah, he's massive.
• 54:25
  Yeah, because he didn't want to embarrass everybody else, and he
• 54:28
  wanted to make the sweat jealous, make the.
• 54:32
  He always wore baggy sweats and the dude was monstrous.
• 54:35
  Yeah, he's that guy's a beast of a man.
• 54:38
  I it is pretty crazy and but I what I saw TJ Watt doing the
• 54:43
  other day doing handstand push ups and he did like 25 of them
• 54:47
  at his size. I'm I'm sorry, as cool and crazy
• 54:51
  what Aaron Donnell looks like and what he does is at TJ Watt.
• 54:55
  That guy is a beast. That guy's a beast.
• 54:59
  You go you guys, if you ever get a chance, I got to I'll find the
• 55:02
  video. I think it's a TikTok video.
• 55:03
  I was watching this guy do this. It's it's it's insane, insane
• 55:08
  what this guy does. But anyways, all right, final.
• 55:11
  Segment of the night. That's crazy.
• 55:12
  King of the Hill. And here's the King of the Hill.
• 55:16
  This, Bobby, is the Beltline. You never ever hit below that.
• 55:20
  Not that kind of King of the hill, you dumb ready.
• 55:22
  Are you ready? This is King of the Hill.
• 55:26
  Smell my ass. Welcome to King of the Hill.
• 55:30
  I am a legend in. This game we have to take on the
• 55:34
  king arrows only ever lost. Once.
• 55:37
  Woody. The first round is 4 competitors
• 55:40
  in the peasant fight. The the king will decide who
• 55:43
  moves on to the joust in round two and the winner gets to take
• 55:48
  on the king for a chance to sit on his throne.
• 55:51
  It's time. For King of the Hill Doo Doo you
• 55:56
  guys ready to play? Who do we got?
• 55:57
  Aaron's coming in, I believe. So here we go.
• 56:00
  Suck my indo cameras. Ready for King of the Hill?
• 56:05
  We got 4 competitors, Goody, our intern Aaron, Speedy and Jabba.
• 56:11
  Let's get the first question up. We are doing all baseball
• 56:14
  tonight. The peasant fight.
• 56:16
  Here is the topic Best power hitting catchers of all time in
• 56:22
  honor of the Major League Baseball League leader in Cal
• 56:27
  Raleigh. So here we go.
• 56:30
  Let's start it off down on the far corner with the big righty.
• 56:36
  Well, I got 2 choices here, don't I?
• 56:38
  So we'll go to the bottom right corner.
• 56:39
  That's Jabba. Jabba, Speedy, Aaron and Goody
• 56:42
  for two. You know what I mean?
• 56:46
  I guess I'm just going to get it out of the way.
• 56:50
  You got to go Piazza, obviously, over 400 homers.
• 56:55
  I think he has the most 30 home run seasons.
• 56:57
  If I recall he was number one in bacne also.
• 57:03
  That's I think that's a great stat to have 1st.
• 57:07
  I don't know if pizza bag help I.
• 57:10
  Called it a pizza bag. That's what I used to.
• 57:12
  Call pizza bag. Oh yeah, I don't know if you
• 57:16
  want that type of sauce on your pizza.
• 57:23
  Oh yeah. So I mean, and just signify
• 57:28
  power at that position and an everyday catcher.
• 57:31
  It's got to be considered one of the best.
• 57:35
  All right, Speedy. I'll go with big better machine,
• 57:37
  Mr. Johnny Bench, about 356 I believe it was that he had in
• 57:43
  the 70s too, which catchers at that time, there were only a
• 57:45
  couple of select few that were hitting that many home runs at
• 57:48
  that time. Obviously played with a great
• 57:49
  lineup too, but really turned that program around and did it
• 57:52
  for a very, very long time. So Johnny Bench, Aaron.
• 57:58
  All right, so I'm going to go with Gary Carter, honestly, to
• 58:01
  be honest with you. I mean, he's considered one of
• 58:04
  the best, best couches out there.
• 58:05
  Obviously with the Mets in the 80s, doing what he did with,
• 58:08
  like I said, with the Mets power hitting.
• 58:10
  To be honest with you, I never really known him as a power
• 58:12
  hitter, but obviously he's one of the better couches out there
• 58:15
  so all. Right, Goody. 4/2 Nice pick the
• 58:22
  great ones. I'm going to go with one of the
• 58:24
  greats, Carlton Fisk. Over 370 homers and an 11 time
• 58:30
  All Star. Not to mention as an AL rookie
• 58:32
  of the year, the guy was fantastic.
• 58:34
  And my next pick I'm going to go with a one and only Yogi Berra.
• 58:40
  Yogi Berra threw up over 350 home runs and he was the only
• 58:44
  player to win 10 World Series, most by any player of all time.
• 58:51
  Yogi. Yoga.
• 58:53
  See, the best part of the best part of that is he's actually
• 58:56
  not half the reading off a computer.
• 58:58
  He actually knows that. So I'll give him credit for
• 59:01
  that. Hey, hey, the yolkster was
• 59:04
  pretty tight. He was pretty good back in what,
• 59:07
  the the 40s? Nice job.
• 59:10
  Little bit about you. Hey, by the way, one of the
• 59:12
  craziest stats of Yogi, I don't know, there's one year he had
• 59:15
  over 600 at bats and he only struck out eight times.
• 59:19
  Yes. I don't care.
• 59:20
  I don't care what area you're in.
• 59:21
  Like to have a 600 and punch out eight time?
• 59:24
  Yeah, well, they're also throwing 50, but still, that's
• 59:27
  incredible not to mention. He swung a 44 oz bat.
• 59:31
  Oh, the other thing is, is how many of those homers came in the
• 59:34
  postseason? I mean, they got 110 World
• 59:36
  Series. So like, he's hitting meaningful
• 59:39
  home runs in the postseason. Running out of fingers, dog.
• 59:41
  Blow my back up. Moving on, second round, Aaron.
• 59:46
  All right, I'm going to stay in my era.
• 59:48
  I'm going to go with Salvador Perez.
• 59:51
  I mean, honestly, yes, he's still in his career.
• 59:53
  He's still pretty young, but when he's there, he really puts
• 59:56
  on his power swing. He's obviously a robots
• 59:58
  champion. The Royals still pretty young.
• 1:00:02
  To be honest, I thought he was always older.
• 1:00:04
  But I'm going to go with Salvador Perez.
• 1:00:06
  He's really someone that can hit the ball out.
• 1:00:08
  From the goal with him. Speedy.
• 1:00:11
  All right, I'll go with another one in Yogi Berra's era.
• 1:00:13
  Not as good of a home run here as him, but still very good at
• 1:00:16
  over 250, I believe. And that was Roy Campanella for
• 1:00:19
  the Brooklyn Dodgers. Damn it Speedy, that was mine.
• 1:00:21
  Yep. And I, I think I used him in
• 1:00:23
  another one we had in the past too as one of the, I guess
• 1:00:26
  greatest catchers ever. But definitely again for that
• 1:00:28
  time too. Not a lot of catchers hitting
• 1:00:30
  home runs last night's probably Yogi Berra and a few others like
• 1:00:33
  him having the consistency, the longevity that he had as well.
• 1:00:36
  So I'll go with him. Yeah, but there's another one
• 1:00:38
  out there. You play with them.
• 1:00:40
  I know I was going to do that, but I wanted to use Campanella
• 1:00:43
  too, because he would have had even more had he not got hurt
• 1:00:49
  and in the wreck and the way he did it.
• 1:00:51
  But yeah, he's he's great, obviously.
• 1:00:53
  Yeah, I'm. I'm going to go Pudge.
• 1:00:56
  No, no, I wasn't thinking Pudge. Oh, you weren't?
• 1:00:59
  Well, I played with Pudge too. I think it's PADA.
• 1:01:02
  Oh no, no, that wasn't the first one.
• 1:01:09
  I. They're both poured in and.
• 1:01:10
  Stuff. Jabba was Jabba was scarred by
• 1:01:12
  the urine. Well, we know what Jabba's going
• 1:01:16
  with that whole thing, no? Yeah, no, I mean, I just, you
• 1:01:20
  know, pledged for doing it as long as he did.
• 1:01:23
  I see why he threw out a lot of people because I had him and
• 1:01:26
  every time a runner was on fastball away.
• 1:01:28
  Fastball. I don't want to throw a fastball
• 1:01:30
  away. I know you want to throw
• 1:01:30
  somebody out, but no. And you know, hitting over 300
• 1:01:34
  homers, I don't know if he got to 350, but hit for average too.
• 1:01:40
  And I think just to do it for as long as he did and how he didn't
• 1:01:46
  really let off. And obviously he's probably in
• 1:01:48
  the conversation of steroids, which kind of everybody in that
• 1:01:52
  era. But to be an everyday catcher to
• 1:01:54
  hit over 3300 homers and I think he was close to hitting 300 as
• 1:01:58
  an average to he just got to go down longevity and 300 homers at
• 1:02:02
  that position is just, and he was one of the guys I looked up
• 1:02:05
  to grown up. So that was kind of cool too.
• 1:02:08
  All. Right Java next pick last round.
• 1:02:12
  My last round I'm going to have to go with and I've used him
• 1:02:16
  before and I'm a Braves Homer, so I'm obviously going to have
• 1:02:21
  to use Javi Lopez. You know, it was obviously up
• 1:02:25
  there for most homers in a year. And Fish and I kind of talked
• 1:02:28
  about this. There's there's a lot of guys we
• 1:02:30
  could throw up there that had those one years.
• 1:02:32
  You know, we're like, hey, but we got still got to.
• 1:02:34
  Use them, maybe not for career. Wise, but you know, records are
• 1:02:37
  meant to be broken and he said that was 42, you know, hit over
• 1:02:42
  250 homers, play for some great teams, caught some great guys.
• 1:02:47
  I'm just I was a huge Javi Lopez fan.
• 1:02:49
  I was a big Eddie Perez fan too. Still I.
• 1:02:52
  Like Eddie Perez. Yeah, but, and I guess I like
• 1:02:56
  Puerto Rican catchers, so I guess that's that's the way I'm
• 1:02:58
  going. All right, Speedy.
• 1:03:01
  I'll round it out with another Atlanta Braves catcher that
• 1:03:02
  probably would have had about 3:50 if he didn't get hurt a
• 1:03:04
  lot. Brian McCann I think was
• 1:03:06
  consistently top five, top ten throughout his career with the
• 1:03:09
  Braves. I wasn't probably the level of a
• 1:03:11
  Joe Mauer, Buster Posey at that time, but still probably in the
• 1:03:14
  next year. Overall, very good left-handed
• 1:03:16
  power. So I'll round him out with Brian
• 1:03:18
  McCann as much as I couldn't stand him as a match.
• 1:03:21
  Fan Aaron. I'll run mine off with Yadia
• 1:03:25
  Molina. I know he didn't have a lot of
• 1:03:27
  home runs, but he did have a big presence at the place, so I was
• 1:03:30
  going to stick with that. Go with Molina.
• 1:03:33
  All right, and goody finish it off.
• 1:03:35
  I'm going Jorge Posada, another Yankee, another Yankee.
• 1:03:38
  Great. How could you not over 270 home
• 1:03:41
  runs. The guy was the center point for
• 1:03:43
  the World Series runs. They had five time All Star.
• 1:03:46
  What do they would? He went 3-4 World Series with
• 1:03:49
  the New York Yankees and he might be the new New York
• 1:03:51
  Yankees future manager here next year, depending on what happens
• 1:03:54
  with Mr. Boone. So we'll see.
• 1:03:56
  Could the could the captain the captain?
• 1:04:01
  What's what's underneath the captain?
• 1:04:03
  Co captain, Assistant captain? Could the Co captain take over?
• 1:04:07
  Lieutenant. Could the Lieutenant?
• 1:04:09
  Take over the captain of the ship here in New York, we'll
• 1:04:11
  find out. But hey, that guy hit over 270
• 1:04:14
  homers and he was a freaking beast.
• 1:04:17
  I don't know how he was as a teammate.
• 1:04:18
  I heard multiple different things, but end of the day, he
• 1:04:22
  showed up, he showed out and he put on a show for the Yankee
• 1:04:24
  fans. I shook him off my first my
• 1:04:26
  first ever outing. I shook him off 3/2.
• 1:04:30
  He's he's Derek Jeter's bitch. How'd that go?
• 1:04:35
  I shook him off till he called what I wanted.
• 1:04:39
  And. I punched him out.
• 1:04:41
  And then what did he say? Don't.
• 1:04:44
  They didn't say anything because I punched him out.
• 1:04:45
  He didn't even know who I was. I was witnessing the chocolate.
• 1:04:48
  Rules. Yeah, then they finally knew.
• 1:04:51
  I mean, most thought I was from Alaska.
• 1:04:53
  Alex thought I was from Africa. Nobody knew who the hell I was.
• 1:04:56
  Green Pie. Duba I.
• 1:04:59
  I probably would have put Buster Posey in because he had a lot of
• 1:05:02
  power before he got hurt. I thought he was one of those
• 1:05:05
  guys, too. But Errol, who's moving on?
• 1:05:09
  I'm going to. Let you pick.
• 1:05:11
  Me. Yeah.
• 1:05:12
  OK, I'll let you pick. I'm going to I'm.
• 1:05:15
  I think I'm going to go. I'm going to go.
• 1:05:19
  Goody. You know what?
• 1:05:22
  I don't think we've done this before.
• 1:05:23
  Let's go Goody and Jabba. I was facing off.
• 1:05:26
  I was waiting for him to do that.
• 1:05:29
  I don't think we've done that. Let's let's go.
• 1:05:32
  Former teammates facing off in what?
• 1:05:37
  In the joust. Here it is.
• 1:05:38
  Let's see what this is a joust. Best fielding first baseman.
• 1:05:49
  That's. Easy over the last 50 years
• 1:05:53
  dating back to the mid mid 70s all right so I don't want to
• 1:05:57
  hear like about Lou Gehrig's you know school thing you.
• 1:06:01
  Don't want to hear about Billy Bucks?
• 1:06:04
  Well, he would be included. Pulled it out of my.
• 1:06:06
  Ass, but I don't think I would choose him for this.
• 1:06:07
  See. If Goody was still doing ChatGPT
• 1:06:09
  for for this one, he'd be searching the the most Gold
• 1:06:11
  Gloves in the 1920s. I gave up the booty there.
• 1:06:16
  All right, Errol, who's going first?
• 1:06:18
  I'm going to let Jabba go first. Oh man, I'm I'm going to be
• 1:06:25
  super, super biased. I'm I'm going to go text.
• 1:06:32
  Just huge Good. That's a good pick.
• 1:06:34
  I've never I, I, I had Gianbi before, so I didn't have.
• 1:06:40
  I agreed. Geez, one of my dearest friends.
• 1:06:42
  I love him to death. He would throw knuckleballs back
• 1:06:45
  to you from if you picked the first.
• 1:06:47
  So it scared the shit out of me because some would be really
• 1:06:50
  good, some would be bad. So like then I get text over
• 1:06:53
  there. I love text but we all hated
• 1:06:56
  text so much because he got to everything and we would break to
• 1:07:00
  cover first but he would take it every time.
• 1:07:02
  I'm like if I'm running my fat ass over there, like can I get
• 1:07:06
  it me and see would bitch about it all the time.
• 1:07:08
  I'm like, man, if we run it over there, like come on man, give me
• 1:07:11
  some love. But just consistently how he
• 1:07:15
  just he could pick it, he could cover ground, he saved you runs
• 1:07:21
  and he is the greatest chewer of food of all time.
• 1:07:25
  He counts, he counts his chews. I mean, the dude did everything
• 1:07:29
  with a purpose. And it was nice having that
• 1:07:32
  right side of the infield, Robinson, Cano and Tashara.
• 1:07:35
  I felt real good when when you got on the bump, that's for
• 1:07:39
  sure. That's a good pick just going.
• 1:07:41
  To go back and forth so you don't have to go 2 times.
• 1:07:43
  So just a goodie and I was. Sleeping on text, but I'm going
• 1:07:47
  with the gold standard at first base.
• 1:07:48
  I'm talking about Heath Hernandez is the gold standard
• 1:07:53
  played what he played 15 years or something in the show, won
• 1:07:58
  what, 11 gold gloves, five time All Star basement and you think
• 1:08:06
  about glove work and footwork and like the skill that it takes
• 1:08:11
  to play first base and where to be on cut offs.
• 1:08:14
  And how could you not put Keith Hernandez up at the top?
• 1:08:18
  I mean, the guy, the guy, look at this.
• 1:08:22
  I mean, that's what you want to teach your kids.
• 1:08:26
  You know, I mean, my son would be like, why is it so grainy?
• 1:08:29
  But I did like this is the gold standard of first base Keith
• 1:08:31
  Hernandez. That's my, that's my thing.
• 1:08:34
  Jabba, yeah, I do like that one and it's I could go Yankees deep
• 1:08:41
  in this one too. I'm going to go one who like I
• 1:08:46
  think was under looked. He did play for the Yankees, but
• 1:08:49
  I think he was very underrated and almost he had a 995 career
• 1:08:56
  fielding percentage and that's John Olerud.
• 1:09:00
  Wow, 1 Gold Gloves, obviously Yankees.
• 1:09:05
  Did he play with the Mets? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:07
  And then obviously the Blue Jays and then to to obviously have a
• 1:09:12
  brain aneurysm and to come back. And I just, it was somebody who
• 1:09:15
  was very methodical, smooth and just, it was always, it wasn't
• 1:09:21
  flashy, but just to be able to see him, I had to look up.
• 1:09:25
  I'm obviously I didn't know that he was that good.
• 1:09:27
  I obviously liked him as a first baseman because I played first
• 1:09:31
  two because I was too fat and slow to do anything else.
• 1:09:33
  But I can pick it. But yeah, to have a career in 17
• 1:09:37
  years, to have a 995 career and and save, I mean, that just
• 1:09:42
  makes obviously your guys better.
• 1:09:44
  So yeah, John Oliver's my dude, the rah rah shish Kumba.
• 1:09:47
  All right, dude. Dude almost hit 300 for his
• 1:09:52
  career he's like 295. Yeah, well, then they got the
• 1:09:55
  next guy that I'm going with was an elite hitter, so I think his
• 1:10:00
  defense was overshadowed. I watched him when I grew up.
• 1:10:03
  His name's Eddie Murray. Eddie Murray was a three time
• 1:10:07
  Gold Glove winner. I don't know how many All Stars
• 1:10:12
  he had, definitely over 555 time All Star, but.
• 1:10:19
  You're not looking that up. Yet he was balanced, he hit
• 1:10:23
  well, played the field obviously really well and he had a very
• 1:10:29
  long career at first base. And I mean what I mean, what
• 1:10:33
  could you not? What could you say?
• 1:10:34
  I mean, that guy was the guy did it all.
• 1:10:36
  Not only did he field and pick the ball or not, but he was a
• 1:10:39
  great hitter. And that's what I'm saying.
• 1:10:41
  I think his fielding got was overshadowed because of how good
• 1:10:44
  of a hitter he was. Fish What did he hit for his
• 1:10:46
  career? Folks, First off, 8 time All
• 1:10:48
  Star was a rookie of the year, never MVP, but he won Gold Glove
• 1:10:54
  and Silver Sluggard 2 years in a row.
• 1:10:56
  Three time Gold Glove like you're saying 287 hit her 504
• 1:11:01
  home runs. There you go, I'm.
• 1:11:03
  Pretty sure he's a Hall of Famer.
• 1:11:04
  Yes, he. Is yeah, yes.
• 1:11:06
  Goody. Goody 100.
• 1:11:07
  Percent. I was in.
• 1:11:08
  I was in Baltimore two years ago.
• 1:11:10
  I came in the yard. I know he has his own IPA
• 1:11:12
  apparently. 21 year career. 21 year career at first base come
• 1:11:17
  on what did he what was his fielding percentage 990 I'm
• 1:11:21
  gonna. Have to go in.
• 1:11:23
  A little deep 995 like the guy was elite Mercedes.
• 1:11:26
  Benz baseman until like the I mean at the end when he was
• 1:11:30
  bouncing from teams, he was mostly at DH. 50.
• 1:11:34
  He the last Gold Glove he won was in his eighth year of his
• 1:11:38
  career, but he was probably a top fielder for over a decade.
• 1:11:42
  That's called sex. Yeah.
• 1:11:44
  All right. Last ones, boys.
• 1:11:45
  Jabba, I am going to. Go maybe a little overlooked
• 1:11:51
  more for his hitting, but I'm gonna go Todd Elton, LSU Tiger.
• 1:11:56
  Yeah, he would. That's great quarterback too, by
• 1:11:58
  the way. Some of these guys I got to
• 1:12:00
  watch a little bit more. Obviously being in, you know,
• 1:12:03
  the middle of the country, being able to see Colorado.
• 1:12:05
  I don't know if he's ever platinum, but I know he won
• 1:12:06
  three or four and I think they were back-to-back if I recall,
• 1:12:12
  did it all with one team I think went underrated.
• 1:12:18
  Let me look up what his. I'm pretty sure he was a top
• 1:12:23
  tier guy for a long time. 17 years from 97.
• 1:12:28
  OK, where's it at? He was a 996 guy for and he
• 1:12:32
  played first base most of his career.
• 1:12:34
  He didn't didn't really do that DH and stuff.
• 1:12:36
  So yeah, I'm going to go Todd Hilton.
• 1:12:38
  Yeah, another three time Gold Glover.
• 1:12:40
  Kind of similar profile as Murray.
• 1:12:43
  Obviously Coors Field assisted a lot.
• 1:12:46
  Pretty 316 career hitter. Pretty pretty well read 16 yeah,
• 1:12:50
  he's overshadowed. His offense is overshadowing his
• 1:12:53
  his defense, his defensive play was there.
• 1:12:55
  I wonder how many runs did he say?
• 1:12:57
  953 OPS career. It's pretty impressive.
• 1:13:01
  All right, Goody winning. So I'm going to go with somebody
• 1:13:06
  I also watched while I grew up. Pretty pretty smooth, really
• 1:13:13
  fundamental, not the gold standard like Keith Hernandez,
• 1:13:18
  but somebody that you couldn't just you can't overlook it.
• 1:13:21
  And he had a 15 year career Mark Grace, four time Gold Glover,
• 1:13:25
  two time All Star. Somebody.
• 1:13:29
  He went raw, no BGS. Yeah, what it was.
• 1:13:32
  I mean, the guy is the guy is everything you want in the first
• 1:13:35
  base. He's big, he's physical.
• 1:13:37
  He's going to make the place, he's going to pick it.
• 1:13:39
  Like I said, it was smooth, excellent fundamentals, great
• 1:13:44
  instincts when you watch, if you you know, I don't know people
• 1:13:48
  watch baseball like we probably look at it through a different
• 1:13:52
  lens, Java and I than a lot of people do.
• 1:13:54
  Oh, I'm watching how like all right, when the pitch is being
• 1:13:58
  made. How are you being right?
• 1:13:59
  Are you are you one too hot being ready?
• 1:14:01
  This is somebody who did to AT was extremely diligent in the
• 1:14:09
  way that he went about his work and I enjoyed watching Mark
• 1:14:12
  Grace play first base. It was fun, not not as much as
• 1:14:15
  Keith Hernandez because Keith was making all the crazy plays,
• 1:14:19
  but Mark Grace was fun to watch 90. 9%.
• 1:14:21
  I don't know how neither of you said Don Mattingly, but.
• 1:14:24
  I have no idea that it was. There was a, there was a bunch.
• 1:14:27
  It's Keith and then Don Matting. Yeah, that was sort of two best.
• 1:14:30
  To me, I don't know, but Errol, who's moving on.
• 1:14:34
  I'll let you pick. See, I'm not ready to make those
• 1:14:41
  decisions. Speedy, I'll let you pick.
• 1:14:44
  Well, you got to represent the fundamentals of Keith Hernandez.
• 1:14:47
  I'll go a goody on this one. All right, fair enough.
• 1:14:51
  Let's get everybody back in. We're going to have the face off
• 1:14:54
  here, so. Mattingly with a good one.
• 1:14:57
  Up the hitman Mattingly nine time Gold Glover.
• 1:15:00
  Nine time. And he was an MVP, Gold Glove
• 1:15:04
  and Silver Slugger in the same year in 1985.
• 1:15:07
  You know, my but one of my best friends play for Don Mattingly
• 1:15:09
  and didn't really like him too much so.
• 1:15:10
  You know, I kind of want to talk to you about that off the air
• 1:15:13
  because I've always wondered why he's what's the deal with that?
• 1:15:16
  But here we are the finalists again.
• 1:15:18
  Let's get everybody in to vote so we can be in the bottom.
• 1:15:21
  Here it is last round take on the king most underappreciated
• 1:15:30
  star players in MLB history. Can't ChatGPT that one now, can
• 1:15:37
  you? This is your opinion.
• 1:15:40
  Who do you feel is underappreciated?
• 1:15:42
  Who do you feel should have gotten a little bit more love
• 1:15:45
  and can't just be like a role player has to be someone who
• 1:15:48
  was, you know, at one point in time considered a star.
• 1:15:52
  So this is really kind of subjective here.
• 1:15:55
  And it should be fun boys last round the.
• 1:15:58
  King of the. Hill, Harold.
• 1:16:01
  First or second I'll. Let him go first.
• 1:16:03
  Let's hear it. All right, Goody.
• 1:16:06
  All right, first guy, I'm going to go with underrated player,
• 1:16:12
  somebody who I like, who came to Yankees camp quite often, not
• 1:16:18
  invited back to Yankees camp. And I'm talking about the
• 1:16:21
  Gooseman Gossage. Goose Gossage gets a lot of
• 1:16:25
  hate, feel like he was underrated, but one of the all
• 1:16:30
  time save leaders. He's that he's a he's a Hall of
• 1:16:33
  Fame reliever, very outspoken as we know, but he got overshadowed
• 1:16:40
  by Mariano Vera when he when he when he came and and obviously
• 1:16:44
  the public just crushed him. Public absolutely crushed him.
• 1:16:47
  And I feel like he's one of those guys that is slipping
• 1:16:49
  through the cracks. But he was an he's underrated,
• 1:16:51
  one of the best relievers of all time.
• 1:16:54
  Goose. Gasage, Errol Balls.
• 1:17:00
  You don't like him, Jabba? Dude, he freaking came out when
• 1:17:02
  I fist pumped. He's like, this isn't the Yankee
• 1:17:04
  way I go. Mickey Rivers is jumping on the
• 1:17:06
  golf cart. Not for yelling at you not to
• 1:17:08
  come in. And you guys fought.
• 1:17:09
  Shut up, Goose. Yes, I heard about that story.
• 1:17:13
  Yeah, I found out a damn Cheesecake Factory International
• 1:17:15
  Plaza in Tampa. That I heard about that.
• 1:17:18
  He told that story to me. He told that.
• 1:17:22
  What a Dick king. Errol.
• 1:17:27
  I'm going to go with the greatest DH of all time with
• 1:17:30
  those silly Seattle Mariners, those guys that stand up.
• 1:17:34
  Everybody talks about Randy Johnson, You talk about Alex
• 1:17:37
  Rodriguez, Ken Griffey, Junior. Did everybody forget about the
• 1:17:40
  greatest DH in Edgar Martinez? I mean, seriously, one of the
• 1:17:44
  most underrated players in Major League history the way he was.
• 1:17:49
  I mean, he was the most important part of that lineup if
• 1:17:51
  you really look at it, besides Ken Griffey junior.
• 1:17:54
  I mean, Alex Rodriguez says he's the greatest player besides Ken
• 1:17:57
  Griffey junior he's ever played with.
• 1:17:59
  So I'm going to go with Edgar Martinez.
• 1:18:02
  The awards named after him now I mean.
• 1:18:05
  That guy killed the Yankees. I just as a kid, I remember him
• 1:18:08
  killing us every time. Booty, I'm going to go with the
• 1:18:11
  Cleveland Indian 2nd baseman, Sandy's brother, Roberto Alamar.
• 1:18:24
  Roberto Alamar, All right, we talk about second base.
• 1:18:29
  When we talk about having the hands, when we talk about the
• 1:18:32
  accolades, we talk about the gold standard, the the gym Mint
• 1:18:38
  10, the PSA 10. We're talking about Roberto
• 1:18:41
  Alamar. This guy over 10 time All Star 9
• 1:18:47
  or 10 Gold Gloves, Hall of Famer, he still does it at this
• 1:18:51
  age. If you watch his hands, how
• 1:18:53
  quick they are, their lightning speed.
• 1:18:55
  This is somebody that Francisco then door looked up to, and to
• 1:18:59
  me, I don't think he was. He was known, but I think
• 1:19:02
  because he played for a smaller market team, he wasn't very well
• 1:19:05
  known as as he didn't get them as much love and respect as he
• 1:19:09
  should. And he's definitely somebody you
• 1:19:13
  want to model your game after. If you're a middle infielder or
• 1:19:16
  even if you play just any position in the infield, the guy
• 1:19:18
  is incredible. And I think the Hawk to a girl
• 1:19:22
  modeled her game after him too. Now over here, you guys don't
• 1:19:26
  get that member of the. Spinning.
• 1:19:27
  I see what you. I see what you did there, no?
• 1:19:29
  Nobody. I see what you did there.
• 1:19:31
  It's. Late.
• 1:19:32
  Yeah, Well, Errol. Spinning on it, what you got #2?
• 1:19:35
  I'm going to go with another Cleveland Guardians player,
• 1:19:41
  yeah. Fuck you.
• 1:19:42
  Kenny Lofton. That's my next pick.
• 1:19:45
  Dick Kenny Lofton, 6 All Stars, 4 Gold Gloves.
• 1:19:50
  I mean, everything about him, 2400 career hits, 600 stolen
• 1:19:54
  bases. I mean, he was really the heart
• 1:19:58
  and soul of those Cleveland Guardian teams.
• 1:20:01
  I I mean, he was a sensational player.
• 1:20:04
  He hit 296 with 23 stolen bases and a 367 base on base
• 1:20:10
  percentage. So I'm going to, I'm going to go
• 1:20:12
  with Kenny Lofton. Pretty good.
• 1:20:15
  He's good. He should be a Hall of Famer.
• 1:20:17
  Kenny Lofton should be a Hall of Famer.
• 1:20:19
  Yeah. I don't understand how he's not
• 1:20:20
  in, but I'm going to go with another Cleveland Indians
• 1:20:22
  player, slash guardian player. Of course you are.
• 1:20:25
  And I'm going with the current Jose Ramirez, one of my good
• 1:20:29
  friends, somebody I played with, somebody who I love and adore.
• 1:20:32
  My hold on. One second, what happened?
• 1:20:33
  He's one of. The best players.
• 1:20:37
  In the league. Yeah, but he's underrated.
• 1:20:41
  He's he's just now starting to get the notoriety that he
• 1:20:44
  should. Prior to that he it was Jose
• 1:20:48
  Ramirez. Nobody cared because he plays
• 1:20:49
  for a smaller market or mid market team in Cleveland.
• 1:20:52
  People don't get to watch him on that big stage.
• 1:20:54
  You don't. Cleveland doesn't get Sunday
• 1:20:56
  night baseball every time like a Yankees or a Dodgers or a Mets
• 1:20:59
  or a Braves or somebody like that.
• 1:21:01
  But this guy's A7 time All Star, five time Silver Slugger all MLB
• 1:21:07
  first team last year and he hold his basically on pace to set
• 1:21:12
  every record for Cleveland offensively.
• 1:21:15
  He's also I think he just hit the two 5250 club home runs and
• 1:21:19
  stolen bases. So he's the first third baseman
• 1:21:24
  in MLB history to do so. And just now that he's starting
• 1:21:28
  to get the notoriety he's deserved for the past what, 8
• 1:21:31
  years? He's one of the best and not
• 1:21:33
  only that, he's I thought he was a really good teammate as well.
• 1:21:36
  Oh. He's dope.
• 1:21:38
  Yeah, he's great. Rhyme is great.
• 1:21:40
  Hosey. I call him Chivo, but.
• 1:21:44
  He was, he was, he was to my left and he had to be like
• 1:21:46
  puppy, puppy. Look at my shoes.
• 1:21:48
  Look at my shoes. Look at my shoes.
• 1:21:51
  Yeah. What pitch is that?
• 1:21:52
  All wrong pitch Jose Ramirez. You like finish off the game
• 1:21:59
  bro? Yeah, OK.
• 1:22:01
  So nobody, nobody gave him his credit at first base as a
• 1:22:06
  defensive player, but I'm going to have to give him credit for
• 1:22:09
  his career. And that's Donnie Baseball.
• 1:22:11
  Don Mattingly. Never gets the respect that he
• 1:22:15
  deserves on A5 year span. I don't think anybody has the
• 1:22:19
  numbers this guy has as an offensive player.
• 1:22:22
  I mean the guy was a power hitter.
• 1:22:24
  If he didn't hurt his back he could have gone down as one of
• 1:22:27
  the greatest if not the greatest first baseman of all time.
• 1:22:29
  Besides Keith Hernandez, I would say he's the second greatest
• 1:22:33
  defensively. Offensively, Keith Hernandez
• 1:22:36
  never played the game offensively in a five year span.
• 1:22:39
  If you look at Keith Hernandez, numbers of his best years could
• 1:22:42
  even come close to the comparison of Donnie Baseball
• 1:22:45
  and did it in New York. He just never, he never won a
• 1:22:50
  championship and a lot of people will look at that.
• 1:22:52
  But as far as his talents concerned, defense to offense,
• 1:22:56
  very few Yankees you can compare to him as a defensive, offensive
• 1:23:00
  player. I'm going Donnie Baseball.
• 1:23:02
  That's my final guy. All right.
• 1:23:04
  We're going to go through our votes now.
• 1:23:07
  I'll start it off. I'm going to vote for Errol.
• 1:23:09
  I think the whole point of this was underrated star players, and
• 1:23:14
  these are three guys, one who took forever to get into the
• 1:23:17
  Hall of Fame and shouldn't, and two that still aren't in and
• 1:23:19
  should be. I think that kind of defines
• 1:23:21
  what I was looking for. That's why I didn't understand
• 1:23:23
  the Ramirez thing, I mean. Well, I and the other thing is
• 1:23:26
  Gossage is a Hall of Famer, Roberto Alamar is a Hall of
• 1:23:28
  Famer, and Ramirez will probably be a Hall of Famer.
• 1:23:31
  Well, that's the way I looked at it.
• 1:23:32
  I wanted to look at guys that are are not there.
• 1:23:35
  I thought that was good. Look, I think Jose Ramirez is
• 1:23:38
  underrated as well because he's all of famous, the top five.
• 1:23:41
  If he would have, he's a top five, the top ten player in
• 1:23:43
  baseball, and people don't really think of him that way and
• 1:23:45
  they should. I think I think Goody's right
• 1:23:47
  about that, but I think your picks were right on point,
• 1:23:51
  Aaron. So I'm going to have to disagree
• 1:23:54
  with you guys. I'm going to go with Goody
• 1:23:55
  actually, because I do believe the Ramirez, like the way that I
• 1:23:59
  perceive him right at all the older guys I know the careers,
• 1:24:03
  but I've never watched them. So Ramirez, I've seen it up up
• 1:24:06
  close and personal. No one respects him.
• 1:24:09
  Great player every time. That's why.
• 1:24:12
  And that's the way I always see it, Like he could be a couple.
• 1:24:16
  Was it a couple years ago? MVP talks but overshadowed by
• 1:24:20
  everyone. Listen, I don't care if you took
• 1:24:22
  him, but is that the only reason why you picked Goody Ramirez?
• 1:24:27
  For me, yeah. Do you even?
• 1:24:29
  Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question.
• 1:24:31
  My question to you. My one question.
• 1:24:33
  Do you even know who Edgar Martinez is?
• 1:24:36
  Do you know who? Yeah.
• 1:24:37
  Who is he? Who is he?
• 1:24:39
  Who is he? He's.
• 1:24:39
  The DH for the Mariners. DH for the Mariners and do you
• 1:24:42
  know what he did for the Mariners?
• 1:24:45
  Dude, he was a good player for the Mariners.
• 1:24:47
  You know what he. Did without knowing what they're
• 1:24:49
  talking about all the time. I'm just in every.
• 1:24:51
  I've just said, I've just said, you know.
• 1:24:54
  Your audience. In 2016, when Trump beat Hillary
• 1:24:58
  Clinton, 15,000 people voted for the dead gorilla Harambe.
• 1:25:02
  I wrote the name in. Kanye, here's another gorilla.
• 1:25:07
  Just just that's. True story.
• 1:25:09
  Here's another up and coming Cleveland Indian that they're
• 1:25:12
  comparing to Jose Ramirez. Angel Martinez switch here.
• 1:25:19
  I should go grab him my fantasy team.
• 1:25:22
  If if it's a dynasty team, maybe.
• 1:25:24
  Yeah, I was just. Going to say he's not, he's not
• 1:25:26
  there yet. He's still a little bit of ways
• 1:25:27
  away. Yeah, but they're they're
• 1:25:29
  they're giving comps the cozy. OK.
• 1:25:32
  All right, let's go on to Speedy.
• 1:25:34
  So I actually think because Goody took reliever and and a
• 1:25:38
  second baseman to that, I think kind of get undervalued to I'm
• 1:25:41
  actually going to lean him slightly.
• 1:25:43
  I think the argument for Goose gotchas was very good because I
• 1:25:46
  think you look at that time with Raleigh Fingers and Dennis
• 1:25:48
  Eckersley, even in the 80s, Lee Smith, there were other
• 1:25:50
  relievers I think didn't get as much attention.
• 1:25:52
  So I think this description of that was good and even second
• 1:25:55
  base too when you when you look at.
• 1:25:57
  Like all the Hall of Famers, That's not what we're playing
• 1:26:00
  here. You.
• 1:26:01
  If I was going to do that, I could have went with Hall of
• 1:26:03
  Famers, too. That's not the game you.
• 1:26:05
  Guys are listening. You just kind of just.
• 1:26:08
  Dude, I'll give you the win. He doesn't like an uneducated
• 1:26:11
  electorate. It doesn't.
• 1:26:13
  How ironic. It doesn't make sense.
• 1:26:15
  Are you kidding me? They're they were.
• 1:26:17
  How is that They were not? How does that make?
• 1:26:20
  Sense to Hall of Farmers, they get their respect.
• 1:26:24
  That's not the way that that's. Not they got the respect.
• 1:26:26
  After they're Hall of Famers, dude, they're all.
• 1:26:30
  Of Famers. All right, Jabba, you can.
• 1:26:33
  You are going to decide Errol is trailing 2 to one.
• 1:26:38
  Yeah, Errol's hot right now. You know what you want to.
• 1:26:40
  Do Java. No, I.
• 1:26:42
  How are you voting? I I, I like what Speedy said
• 1:26:45
  too, even though I can't stand Goose, but he tried to make good
• 1:26:48
  graces with me. So it's water under the bridge.
• 1:26:50
  Whatever I I do like obviously Errol made good points of who
• 1:26:55
  they were, but you could have done Hall of Farmers.
• 1:26:59
  But I'd like goodies take on the fact that like they got their do
• 1:27:04
  credit after the fact. Like it wasn't as it was
• 1:27:07
  happening. They did become Hall of Farmers.
• 1:27:10
  So yeah, I'm going with good. Let's go.
• 1:27:12
  And that means the king has been dethroned.
• 1:27:18
  Oh my goodness, say it ain't so. Let's put him right at the top,
• 1:27:24
  right here, and announce for the world to see Nick Goody.
• 1:27:31
  Let's go, baby. And all his Charizard holograms,
• 1:27:34
  I will say, are now king. I will say this, I don't care if
• 1:27:37
  he won, but that made no sense. I really don't get that Hall of
• 1:27:42
  farmers or Hall of farmers. If that was the case, I would
• 1:27:45
  have went the Hall of Farmers and was said, well, this guy
• 1:27:47
  that's. Guy, would you have gone with?
• 1:27:48
  It's the. Most underrated players of all
• 1:27:52
  time, that's. Who would you have gone with?
• 1:27:54
  What do you mean Hall of Farmers?
• 1:27:56
  I can go with a lot of guys. You want me to name some of
• 1:27:58
  them? What's your name?
• 1:28:00
  A couple. Hall of Famers of all time that
• 1:28:02
  I could just pull out of my ass all.
• 1:28:04
  Right, that are that are underrated.
• 1:28:06
  All right, underrated Pudge Martinez, Pudge Rodriguez.
• 1:28:10
  Pudge Rodriguez is one of them. I would go at Pudge if I, as far
• 1:28:14
  as catchers are concerned, if I'm looking at, I would go.
• 1:28:18
  I don't. Feel like he was underrated bro.
• 1:28:19
  Nobody wanted to steal on him. One of the best.
• 1:28:22
  Players in the game. He was underrated compared to
• 1:28:24
  all the other catchers. How about Todd Hilton?
• 1:28:27
  How about Todd Hilton? Hilton, I could say, is one.
• 1:28:30
  Yeah, all. Right.
• 1:28:31
  So I could have went with a lot of guys.
• 1:28:33
  If I sat here and thought of them, I would have.
• 1:28:35
  I would have pulled. Larry Walker I thought was one.
• 1:28:39
  A guy like that too was like, I mean.
• 1:28:41
  You don't you, Larry. Walker could have been.
• 1:28:43
  You don't when you're saying most underrated players of all
• 1:28:46
  time. Those are the guys that never
• 1:28:48
  got they're, they're due and that's Billy Wagner.
• 1:28:52
  Could have been won then. That's why they're not in the
• 1:28:54
  Hall of Fame. Billy Wagner would have been a
• 1:28:56
  good pick for this that Billy. Wagner.
• 1:28:58
  Is another one. You'd have picked that, so it's.
• 1:29:01
  I didn't think we were talking. About it now.
• 1:29:02
  It's all right. We're letting you get this out.
• 1:29:04
  Errol, you lost your crown. You did not like the fact that
• 1:29:07
  the democracy. No, I don't.
• 1:29:10
  I I don't get it. That's not what that's not.
• 1:29:13
  What? A lot of people didn't
• 1:29:14
  understand what happened in November either.
• 1:29:17
  Well, I I doubt that's not what everybody thought.
• 1:29:20
  Only you, because I you know why.
• 1:29:22
  But that's all another. I would say, you know, 47% of
• 1:29:25
  the country in like 20% Russian population, you know, they,
• 1:29:28
  they're the ones that. And that's why.
• 1:29:31
  And that's why, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be
• 1:29:33
  with him right now. Anyways, that's it for our show,
• 1:29:37
  ladies and gentlemen. I hope everybody enjoyed it.

• 1:29:45

• 1:29:54
  Bob Rathbin for joining us. He's sensational.

  He really was. And and Mr. Lovic, dude, I've
• 1:30:00
  been dealing with my own shit during the show.
• 1:30:03
  I don't know if you guys would have done the show when you when
• 1:30:05
  you get a freaking text the way you did knowing that your
• 1:30:08
  sister's in the hospital. So I've been dealing with that
• 1:30:11
