• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that's what mine looks like. Dallas Mavericks plus six and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a half pays minus one ten. Yeah, I wagered one
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I really felt like I got all they could
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: win the game. And then so I didn't even watch
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the first part of it, watching the softball game. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: then I put softball game over for a second, click click,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh god, they're now twenty points. Yeah,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and I kept checking back. At one time they got
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: within like eleven, I was like, let's go, he has
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: got to cover that points that plus six and a half.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And then close, man, yeah they only lost by eighteen.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah close. So I did see because I didn't watch
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: it at the beginning that Porzingis played and played well.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: He was the best player on the court. Crazy either team,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: the best player on.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: The court all night.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Twenty first half, twenty in the game.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I think the first half maybe like twelve thirteen.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: How many minutes did he played total?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Twenty two minutes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Wow, twenty one minutes, twenty points, six rebounds.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: He's good. I mean he could hurt next game, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: that's good. He had my good, solid game.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: He was I mean defensively he was the best player
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: on the floor too. He was blocking shots, he was
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: altering shots. He was unbelievable. And I can't help but
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: think he's been.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Healthy for like two weeks.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting, because
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: you don't come back and play twenty one minutes and
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: do what he did last night if you're haven't been
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: healthy for at least a week or two.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It was scrimmaging. Yeah, but again not same intensity. But
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: good for him. I hate to see anybody that's injured.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting see what Dallas does again. Game
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: one A Game two are in Boston. I didn't expect
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to blow out like this, Obviously, I have been a
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: thousand bucks on and half. I didn't really believe the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Mavericks would win. I thought maybe they'd keep it close,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: but I believe they would win. I'd about the money line. Yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: so yeah, I lost thousand bucks there, but I did
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: bet five hundred on Oklahoma to win. Oh there you go,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: uh game two of three, which they did. They won
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: game one and two, and so that's that bet.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I watched them the other day come back against Florida.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we watched that one.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, well, so they went in. All they
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: had to do was beat at Florida once, and Florida
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: beat them the first game. Yeah. So then it went
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to Olahoma one again.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: And they're up by are there?
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma was down by one right and like the six
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: or something, and they came back and I saw that tie.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I didn't see the full game. I din't see you
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: go to extras.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: So they went to the best of three against Texas
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and Texas was the one seed. So Oklahoma beat them
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: first game and beat them second game. Patty or coach Gaso,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: as America will call her, is. She's won four national
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: championships in a row, never been done before. She has
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: eight total national championships. Now she's now tied all time
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: with some old guy from forever ago. It's amazing, Like
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it was playing on like diferent rules were like four teams.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I mean you go back to that Florida game though,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and they were down, Yeah, they were down by two
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: runs when we started watching, which is I think the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: fifth inning, and like just to come I mean right there,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, this is tough, like two innings left,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you're down by two. They came back and they won
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that game. And that's just that's just crazy because at
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that moment you're like, oh my gosh, they're not going
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to win it in Florida's gonna be Florida in Texas.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But now they did it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Imagine being those players to so much pressure, like who's
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: gonna break four in a row? So now next year,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: like those players, that's a lot of presser. Even this year,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: just three in a row and we got to keep
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: this going. Now we break this chain. You don't want
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: to break that chain. You don't want to be on
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: that team.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And those freshmen they won every championship every year.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Freshman sophomore, junior senior every year. I just texted Patty,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I don't want to text her last night because I've
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: been when they won the national championship and that night
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: goes on forever really because they win restaurant they get
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: their orange slices.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Then there's a press conference which we went to right
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: after the game, and then she does that, and then
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: there's a big party and she doesn't go to the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: first part of it. So that's the kid. You know
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that they have fun that she shows up. It does
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a thing, but all all the families there. We almost
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: went this year. Kaitlin was at feeling good, so we
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: kind of pulled back last minute.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised you didn't, that's why.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: What's what's the party? Like? What do you got? You
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: got cake, you got food? You got Kaylen's drink on
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: TV A bunch last night. Yeah, yeah, that sits with
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the family. I mean dj' is too much access hat.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: DJ was on And by the way, DJ Gasso is
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: my brother in law, Patty's son. DJ coaches at Arkansas now.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But DJ can't wear Oklahoma stuff. He's a coach at Arkansas, right,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he can't do that, so he's wear of a too
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: much access hat. It was all over freaking ESPN.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: It was awesome.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really cool.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of food DJ DJ at the party.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all campaign or no, no, because the college.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's there's alcohol. I think there was
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: alcohol there, but I don't know that was free for everybody.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Couldn't just go grab it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And that's tough for you. You don't drink, so you're
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: not looking to see alcohol. That's the first thing for
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: when I go to a party.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me too.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Are we serving here?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: We're not?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: What what's the vibes here?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Is there an open bar?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So I imagine she didn't get in until one thirty
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: or something or two, so I didn't text her at all,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: So I just ad pile me on, wait until today,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: congratulate the goats of the goats. So cool. Four in
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a freaking row.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: So she the best of all time? Yes, coach in softball?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Well so just analytics data. We'll say data more than
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: analytics because it's not currently going no coaches everyone for
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in a row. So she's the only Division one coach
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to ever won four championships in a row, maybe the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: only coach ever And then She's tied all time, like
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I said, with eight national championships with some old dude
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: who won eight championships back again when they were like,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know a team in this southeast of America,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Like I think I think Columbus had a team. The
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Pilgrims had a team. That's pretty much it. Washington had
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the Cherry Trees that they played.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, when are we going to do it too much
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: access with her?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: We almost did this year and we're gonna go do
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: them and Oklahoma State and something something personal happened where
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: she couldn't be there that day, so we didn't go,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and then she got irritated. I Oklahoma State well to cancel.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm just curious, like maybe you know the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: answer to this, but wow, what where does that success
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: come from? Like I know it's probably a mixture of things,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: but recruiting's got to be a huge part.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Of that, right, Yeah, but you don't get the recruits
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: until you win. Yeah, you don't win until you get
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the recruits. So it's like college football, you're turning around
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a program. You kind of need a coach to come
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in and change the culture and have a little more
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: winning than the last coach with the same players, especially
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: pre in IL. Now, if you in IL, if you
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: come in, you pay a bunch of money to a coach,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you give them a bunch of money. You can shift
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a team that way. But that wasn't the case with her,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: or wasn't the case with other programs. It doesn't matter
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the sport. But if you look at like, let's say
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: an urban Meyer goes in or the best scenario is
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: whenever Nick Sable went to Alabama, they went six and six.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: First year, they lost like Louisiana Monroe. Yeah, but he
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: did a bit like a game better than the last coach,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: and so he got a little better with the same players,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and then was also a really good recruiter. So he
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: started pulling in slightly better players and better coaching, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the recruits continue to ascend. And that's how you change
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: a program.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: But if you give me or you the best players
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in the nation, I don't think we could win, right, Like,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: there's got to be something more than your recruit you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: think you could.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I hire great assistance. I'd be a CEO
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: had a if you're just by yourself, though, but that
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen anywhere.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: But you had to go out and play the best
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: of three games. You can't.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: No practicing, no nothing. You just go out there with
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: the best players like Eddy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You have to choose, you Lie, I could manage it. Yeah, sure,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just managing at that point. Yeah. With the skip about,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I can win them.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Also, when I watched the game the other day, I'm
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: glad I remember this right now. These pitchers are like
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty pitches.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the arm motion it's different. It's a very
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: nat The girl last night that ended up coming to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: close had pitched the last two games, the last game
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: against Florida. You're talking about three consecutive days. So two
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: days ago, full game against Florida, yesterday, full game against Texas,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: and they brought her in to close the game yesterday.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It's because the arm. Your arm does get tired. But
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: there's there are emotions, not uh baseball, where that is
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: not how your arm is supposed to throw. Yeah, your
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: natural arm motion is this.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: We're eating dinner, right and I say, hey, pass me
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a roll, throw me a roll. Do you throw it overhand?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah? No, you do underhand. You can throw rolls all
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: day and never be tired. They do get tired boys. Yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: they do get tired. Was that lunchbox? And Ray pomp
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: into our.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Speakers checked our podcast?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So why are you doing you underhand?
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: The role?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Well, it depends where we're sitting to Oh, how you
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: throw a roll?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah you don't throw it like a baseball.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: No, no, you never do. I mean that'd be too hard. Anyway,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: it was to his point. Yes, it's more natural to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: throw underhands.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: They won again.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing, man, that's really cool.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to make now I'm down like five hundred.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So you didn't I thought you had split screens and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: multiple TVs like you didn't have.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I was watching my wife. I do that when I'm
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: watching video like playing video games, have a three screener.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Have you been upstairs in my house? Yeah? Okay, so
• 10:15

• 10:21
  Speaker 2: my gamble room. Yeah, I'm playing mad all I got
• 10:24

• 10:30
  Speaker 1: check the game.

  Speaker 2: Out on my phone. So had the basketball game on
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: my phone but then I stopped watching. It was out
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of control, and I was like, I just lost a
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: thousand bucks. My nine year old had a basketball game,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: so I missed most.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Of the game last night.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I bet a thousand bucks on it. You would have covered.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: They won by eleven. They did.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: What did you get home?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I got home at nine, about nine ten, nine to fifty.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: The game actually went a little faster just because it
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: was a blowout, so there weren't as many like timeouts
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: and everything like that. But so, what'd you see the
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: fourth quarter?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I saw. I saw the fourth quarter.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I saw about five minutes of Luca and Kyrie still
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in and they pulled them. But I mean the Celts
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: played till the very end. I know I'll do my
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: team one. I was very happy, and I told you
• 11:10

• 11:16
  Speaker 2: money back. But also bet them all. Oh I'm not chasing.
• 11:19

• 11:22
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars bet. Then I made three five hundred dollars
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: bets at the same time, so hopefully I can make
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: my money back. I have the fever plus one. The

• 12:02
  Speaker 2: became cool to be on Caitlin Clark. A big fan.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan. What's annoying now is this turned
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: into not just sports, to turned into a culture war,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and that makes sports not as fun because you can't
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: just root for a team, or you can't just root
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: for good good guy, bad guy. Now, everybody's got an opinion,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: but it's based on some political belief or woke or
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: anti woke, or race or and it's like, well, this
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: is not near as fun as it used to be.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I just like coming on going, Well, everybody's hating on
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark because she's rich and they claimed she was
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: going to be the greatest, so they want to show
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: her and there's obvious hate and jealousy and let's go
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or someone sucks because they you know, missed all
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: their shots, like something simple like that. But yeah, not
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: culture stuff, exactly society it has.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It has made me, uh, not like watching it as much.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Not the games. I'm still watching every w me again.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: But to talk, Oh yeah, I don't like it because
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: now like normal shows are talking about it really and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: they know nothing about basket ball in general. I'm talking
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: about like The View or insert whatever political show. It's like,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: give me a freaking break. I just want to talk
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: about shooting threes. I just want to talking about So
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Angel Reese is an idiot. She's an idiot. Whenever she
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: was talking about people watch me too. People come it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: not just her, it's me, And again you can roll
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the clip you after that she starts to talk about
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the league, but she's obviously very jealous. Yeah, but she's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: an idiot. But I like that. I like that. I
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: think she's an idiot because we need rivalries. We'll think
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark's an idiot. I like it. That's what we need.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: The greatest thing, no one would have known who Angel
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Reese was unless they were a diehard fan of LSU
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: or women's college basketball or the WNBA, like the very
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: select few that watch that. You know, because listen, the
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: ratings are big. When Kaitlyn Clark plays highest college women's
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: basketball game ever, the arenas are filling up. J already
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: saying that made her relevant. Two people that aren't just
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: fans of Chicago, the w NBA or college basketball or
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: l ISSUE people know who she is. But that's amazing.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That's what she should have done.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Do you think she did that on purpose?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: No, because she backed off of it a little bit after,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: or she said, you know, and it's us and all.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: She just should have embraced it and been that hero
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: slash villain idiot. We need a villain in sports, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: that villain isn't the villain to everybody. The villain's the
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: hero to some people. But yeah, no one would know
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: who Angel Reice was. That wasn't already a diehard fan
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: of women's basketball if it wasn't for Caitlin Clark, Like
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Lex Luthor, wasn't even think til Superman came about. Yeah right,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the villain and Angelice is good. It's funny to watch
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: because she's, you know, leading in like rookie, rebounds shots
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: she misses, and she rebounds her own ball. It's crazy.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: She has a lot of hilarious really yeah, and she's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: she's for sure a good player. She's for sure a
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: really good player. But I someone go, it's not only
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Kaitlin Clark. It fills up a WNBA arenas there. It
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: was two teams playing. I f forgured it wasn't. They
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: did a pan. It was like half fool. It was
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: a big arena. It was a bigger arena, but half full.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And the Tendants was on there, and it was like
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: ten thousand and a twenty thousand seater and they posted
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: all at Kaitlin Clark's fourteen thousand, fifteen thousand, and sixteen thousand,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: like full arenas, you can't even put more people in there.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: To me, even if you don't think Kaitlyn Clark's good,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I don't care about that but the whole reason the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: WNBA is getting any shine right now outside of what
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: it would already be getting by WNBA fans is Caitlin
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Clark or people that are anti Kitlin Clark, and that
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: makes it all about Kaitlin Clark. And I kind of
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: feel bad for Kayln Clark. She's not really involved in
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: any of it. She literally just plays basketball and it
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: goes all around her. She doesn't really do the many interviews.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I hope that she understands that this is part of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the game and that's just kind of how it works.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Like but it's never happened with anybody else ever in
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the history of women's basketball, I know, but for her,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: and I feel like when people have that spotlight on
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: them where it's just negative and the whole league doesn't
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: like you and you.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Get body checked for no reason stuff like that, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: think for a normal person it would just get to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: your head and you wouldn't be able to perform. But
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: hopefully that she understands, like, you know what, Hey, at
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is gonna look really
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: good on me. I'm not doing anything. She's keeping my
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: mouth shut. I'm playing ball and I'm doing what I'm
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: here to do. That's it, and like hopefully she ends
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: up being the top, like the best and just kind
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of overcome this. And because right now it could get
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to her head and she can play like complete crap.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It's not I think what she probably she has good
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: people around her. I'm sure telling her is what's happening
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: on the floor and on social media is not actually
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: what's happening in real life. Because most of America, they
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: are curious about you, they like you, but you're not
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: experiencing that at arm's length. But if you look past
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: arms length, it's so much greater, bigger and brighter because
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: everybody's kind of rooting for you. Yeah, and you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and it is kind of a race. And I'll tell
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you why. At least at first, white people aren't as
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: good at basketball. We just generally say that, yes, okay.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So let me made a movie on this. White man can't jump.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, right, so whenever there's somebody and it doesn't have
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to be basketball. But I use that white people can't
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: really wrap that well.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah historically, yeah, so.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Old people don't really go to the Olympics fast, short
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: people don't really aren't really good at basketball. Yeah, yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: anytime there's somebody that usually isn't something that ends up
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: being everybody goes what we need to pay attention to that,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: and if it's like Kaitlyn Clark, you're like, and it's
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: not just white or black people that are like rooting
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: for her, because you would see a lot of black
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: athletes to words for Kaitlin Clark, to being like she's awesome.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: But it was just weird that it was a white
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: person because whiteop aren't a good White people are not
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: as good as basketball just generally speaking that they look
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: at the NBA. Yeah, short people aren't good to basketball.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Old people don't get in the Olympics. When there's a
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: forty two year old olympian, you don't think that's every
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: that's the story for a minute, or.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Even like when you know the big centers were shooting threes,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: like that was just like whoa.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: That's abnormal. Ends up being a highlight of a story,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and that's where the initial comes from. Now you can
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: take all that and it's not it wasn't in the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: end just to a race thing because she didn't be
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the all time scoring leader. But I think it was
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: pretty crazy that one she s the other weird thing
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: was she shot threes from so far away that wouldn't
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: even matter what color she was. If if she shot
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: like that, she was the logo shooting, it wouldn't wouldn't
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: have mattered. But Eminem great rapper. You didn't know how
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: great he was though it took him a while, but
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: at first, like, what's this white rapper doing?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: It's so rare.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: The usually aren't good if they're white.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: And he even says that, right, he says in some
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: of the song, He's like, if I wasn't white, I
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: wouldn't sell as many records.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: What was cool about Tiger Woods is he wasn't like
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: a stupid, old, crotchety white man. Gosh, that's so true,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: and you know, and Tiger Woods was awesome, But what
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: was the appeal was He's not like all these the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: loser white people. Yeah, so that there's definitely an element
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: of that, but it's not in the element of like
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: negative we're against a certain race or pro a certain race.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: It's sometimes what's cool about Tiger was he wasn't white.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I think we all can agree with that. And another
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: freaking dumb white person playing golf, some rich white kid
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: and playing golf. We've seen one hundred thousand of those
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: who cares. Oh she got Tiger Woods.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: That was awesome, This young black kid, yeah and half Asian. Yeah,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: named Tiger, name Tiger.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: You know, look at that. Okay, look at spud Web,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Look at Mark zy Bog.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: People still talk about spead Web because he was a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: short dude, donky.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: It was just that it's different from what the norm is.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: That's why she became known early. She's really good. They're
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: all these people are really good, but it takes a
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: while to be freaking great. But she was really good.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: She was doing something wild. She was different than other
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: really good basketball players, and then she proved herself. But
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: that gets inserted in the conversation now, but in a
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: negative way. Yeah.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's people just spin in it the way that
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: they want it to be spun with their own headline
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: or their own media grab, whatever it is.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: And when people will be like, well, she's only famous
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: because she's pretty straight and white, I'm like, no, no, no, no,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: she shoots it from freaking half court and she's the
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: all time points leader in all schools. Like that's why
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: did people pay attention at first? Probably because she was white. Yeah,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: probably a little bit because it's, well, I can't believe
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that white girl can do that, Yeah, because most white
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: girls can't do that. And then it was even if
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: she wasn't white, but she was just crushed. Like look
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: at Sabrina who plays in Seattle. She's popping threes like crazy. Anyway,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: all that that is a part. Race is a part
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: of everything, but it doesn't always have to be a
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: bad part of everything.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't see color.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: That's not true, but race doesn't have to be a
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: bad part. Like again, Tiger Woods not white, but that's
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: what was cool about him because everybody else is white.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So I don't like the conversation that's happening now whe
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: everybody has to have an opinion, even if they know
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: nothing about sports or they don't care about sports, they
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: just want to have an opinion on a culture that
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: sucks and it ruins it. And I did war my
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark jersey the other day and I wore it
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to the card store to turn in my cards for
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the grading, uh huh, and the card store and I
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: felt kind of like I wore a jersey to our
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: card store. Yeah, dude, I mean that's perfect. It was perfect.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I know it's big nerdid, big nerd, big nerd. That's fine.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And everyone there was like, oh, Caitlin Clark Jersey is
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: so cool. And they were like, where'd you get it?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Because we can't because nobody can get them. They're so
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: hard to get. And I didn't have any sort of hookup.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I just was on hold for like three weeks on
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: getting it. Anyway, I'm in. I like Angel Reese because
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: she is she's the storyline. Also, when the Fever were
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: getting off the not the Fever, when Chicago was getting
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: off the bus and they were like, we were harassed
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: by people. It was it was one person asking the
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: girl who had hip checked Caitlyn Clark if she had
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: talked to her. You can see the video they posted. No, no,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: it was nothing. One person was nothing. Unbelievable. Was it
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a member of the press or just a person. It
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: was a dude. I don't know. They had their phone
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that was recording it, but they weren't even like inner interface.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The security guard comes aroun, he goes doo doo doo.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: But then they all start posting we get harassed, and
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I literally felt bad for them. I was like, fans
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: are such freaking idiots. Like, this is sports. This is
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: not real life. There's no need to get on anybody's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: bus when they're going to their hotel and like be
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: like you freaking suck, say that it's a game that
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: like that arena is built for that, but don't go
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: up to their table or restaurant and do that. Like
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: there's real life and then there's the theater of sports. Sure,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: but then when I saw it, it was nothing. Really, it
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: was so nothing that I kind of got annoyed. But
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: that's what I like, Like, it's given me. Nobody cared
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: about the WNBA. Nobody not fair. They have their hardcore fans,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: both of them, and they both their fans were gonna
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: go to their games, but nobody really cared about the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: general population of sports fans didn't care about the WNBA
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: at all until Kateln Clark came about. And now what
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: we talk about is Kaitlin Clark, anti Kaitlin Clark, or
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: talk about other girls except Kaitlin Clark. And even that's
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: because of Kaitlin Clark, yep. But I honestly know four,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: five or six other w NBA players now they're awesome
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: because of Kaitlin Clark. And I like that it's worked
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit where it's expanded me into knowing who
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: some of these other freaking awesome players are. But it's
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: because of Kaitlin Clark.
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: An, wait, that's my that's my situation.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: There, Kevin. Did you see a fan take Jason Tatum's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: of towel off his shoulder after the game?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: No?
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Last night?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just walking by?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he stopped in the security guard and went
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and got it back.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: They got it back.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: But speaking of fans is being dumb, like what are
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: you thinking you can just.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Grab something off of someone's shoulder? Fans are ridiculous. They
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: don't feel like athletes they're playing the game are real people,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: right right? It's like us though, talking about not us,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: but general talking about celebrities and oh can you believe this?
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Yah?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: You don't feel like they're real people because they're not
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: to you, because you only see them on your phone
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: or on your computer or on your television, and that's
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: not real.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Life, yep.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: And but they are. They are real people.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And props to those athletes, actors, celebrities whatever that can
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: just power through and be like, you know what, I'm
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: gonna just stay true to myself I'm gonna let that
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: bother me because that is a different world.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if it were me and somebody like grab me
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: or did something to be Detroit and Indiana all over again.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Up the stands.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Is that Malice in the palace.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Alice in a freaking palace.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Baby, basketball would be tough because they're right on top,
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: they yell.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: They yeah, that's why I look at you fans.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Did you see at the beginning of the game. Neither
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: you guys probably saw. It was still close, and he
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: went in for a drive and got fouled, and then
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: he kind of like got into the stands a little bit,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: you know, and and the fans were just sitting there
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: yelling at him, nothing bad, like just fan fun, you know.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: And he's just sitting there laughing. He could just tell
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: He's like, I love this, and then.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Sorry, dude, that's terrible.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go over under the tittle tattle. Get it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: It's got a break first here.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: No, okay, we shall go to break and then we'll
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: come back into the tittle tattle. Thank you, all right,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: we're back, Kevin. You ready for the tit.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I am old tattle. Let's go.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Name the tittle Tattle.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: The Phillies a Mets set the face off at Wembley
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Stadium in London this weekend. If you can watch a
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: baseball game at any non baseball stadiums, where would it be.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: That's cool, that's a fun thing. I don't care about
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the Phillies or the Mets, but like taking it to London,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: that's cool for them. That's that's an energetic environment because
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: it's new. It's like we did our podcast in Saint Louis. Like,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I just felt that was cool.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: That was fun.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine. I like it when they do the
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: games in other countries for football a little bit because
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: they're just earlier.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Like I like that too.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Could you wake up? You get to watch that like
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock game? Yeah, your fantasy starts.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: I like that. Yeah, your days either or has made
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: better already.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I think like a football game in the colseum will
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: be fine. I went to Colsseum for the first time,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the Roman Colsseum in Rome.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I don't evely have anything there, dude, they right, isn't
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the ground like all messed up because the chambers down there?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: So yes and no. I thought the same thing, and
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I was like, why what's happening here. So what they
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: did is they removed the floor so you could see
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: what the chambers were underneath.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought it was just time that weathered all that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Ok okay, times weathered everything there, and it's crazy. And
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I hired a guide so I could ask questions. My
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: wife's wanted to go look at it, like a real
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: guide or a dude off the street. No, real guy, Okay,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: up front, you Italian, you come with us. And I
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: learned a lot about that and probably stayed a little
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: longer than I think my wife would have enjoyed. But oh,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: that's cool stuff though, dude, now, yes, it's awesome you
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: did that. But so that's what they did for people
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: to see, because you can't walk out there. They took
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the floor in the ground and removed it so you
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: could see all the chambers below, like where the animals were,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: where the people would be pretty cool. And so I
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: would pick football and that that's fine, that's my answer.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: But what was cool about the Colisseum too was learning
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: about the gladiators. They would fight and there were a
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: couple of ways you could become a gladiator. And the
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: movie Gladiator is actually a pretty accurate portrayal of a
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: singular version of that, right.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Prisoners and slaves, Yes, because I think that was the movie,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: or so, Yes, you could be a they'd usually as
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a prisoner, so if you got in trouble, it's kind
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: of jail, but you could work your way out a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: slave obviously, or if you just had a terrible life,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: like you could go in spend your time, if you
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: want enough matches, you would you kind of be lifted
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: up a class, so like instead of killing yourself, like
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: say you're just done, you're just like, man.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's sad, but let's say you're
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: born into lower lower class, super poor, and you're like,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: this sucks. I'm gonna go and fight four or five
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: six fights. I forget what they said, and you go
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and you train. That a training facility basically where they
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: all trained. They all trained together, they had to fight
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: each other, they trained together, and then if you were
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: able to survive, and when you're fights, you're out and
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: you're kind of famous afterward and you're lifted up a bit.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to think that there was a gladiator
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like training camp where they're just all there with their
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: swords and their shields, like getting better, and.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Then some people just admitted themselves and like I'm here,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna try. It's amazing there was and now I'll
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: mess up some of the facts and in Gladiator because
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen that in so long. But when I
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: was learning about it, there was a king and he
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: wanted to be a fighter, a killer, and so he
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: would go and fight either animals or people himself, but
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: he would make sure that they were like stabbed before
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: they went out wounded.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they weren't full strength. So he looked what
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: a punk day.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Oh that makes me mad.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: It's okay, it is a long time ago.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: I know, but it's still makes me mad.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Like imagine being that person you get stabbed.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Just he's retroactively pissed right now.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I wonder that if that information is kind of like
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: when you find out that like somebody's been cheating in
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the NBA.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Like cork Batten baseball.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Right, all right, next question?
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: All right, A lot of people talking about Kyrie with
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: his comeback story in his career. What is your best
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: comebackstory in your career?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I think maybe this what the twenty five whistles and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: hell would come backstory, Well, we'd we had a sponsor.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: We didn't have a sponsor. We came back with a sponsor.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Funny, I would say, this is what I would say.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Really would probably be I thought I was gonna oh, man,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I have a couple like Big Ones where we did
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: a segment it got Lunchbox put in jail. We were
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: suspended for weeks. Thought we were getting fired. It's way
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: early in my career. After that, we were number one.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a redemption because we weren't that
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: big before then because we were new. But yeah, everybody
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: was like they're over, they're done. We had some some
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: real heat on. It's like we were starting to make
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: some noise. We were twenty four to twenty five, so
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: that was good. There was another part where I was
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: find a million bucks by the FCC for a bit
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: that we did. But I never really feared I was
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: going to get fired. I wondered it, but I never
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: got suspended. You were puckered though a bit just because
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the money was so high. But why say this is
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: because years and years ago, Andy Roddick and I did
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: a sports show on Fox Sports on the weekends. We
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: were just like, let's just do the show, and they
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: were like cool, and it was pretty good. Andy has
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: big personality. We don't mind fighting with each other. We
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: have respect for each other that we can tell each
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: other that they're idiot. And then we were friends so that
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: we always had that base so we could really go
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: at it. And he then was still playing tennis and
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: finishing his career, so we had to leave the show.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: So I did it for another year by myself. Basically,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: they had approached me to take the job after Jim
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Rome left because I was still in Austin but I
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: was doing Fox Sports. They were like, hey, would you
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: want to consider doing a syndicated afternoon sports show. But
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I was going to have to leave what I was
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: doing in the morning, and I built my own syndication
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: company and basically go and be that Jim Rome position,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: which I had fun doing, but that really wasn't what
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I was wanting to do do or go to Nashville.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So I moved to Nashville and got completely out of
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: doing sports. I did for We did it for a
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: little bit, but not really and it was me and
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Lunchbox Ray and Ray and so we did the but
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I was touring and I'd have to, like in Tallahassee,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: go find a studio. So I stopped doing sports, and
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I was not going to do sports anymore. I was
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: good and DraftKings came or like, hey, we want you
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: to do a sports show five days a week, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, I can't. I can't can possibly do that.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: And we figured out a way to do this when
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: it was one time a week, and then now we've
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: kind of grown it into something cool. So redemption. I mean,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't like get fired, but I did. I couldn't
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: really do it anymore. I never thought I would really
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: do sports again. But I think what we've kind of
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: rebuilt this into and you know, I'm going to fill
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: in for Rich Eisen, Like they think I have the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: skills enough to go take over a national television and
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: radio sports show. Like that's cool for me, just even
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: that people would allow me to do that, because that
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: means they think I'm at least good enough to like
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: hold it up as he's gone. And then I got
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: to the NFL Draft. That's some other cool stuff coming up.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I think this is this is fun for us, that
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: we built something cool. I think this is kind of
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: a hey, we're back. Yeah that is cool redemption, But yeah,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: we back, so that would be mine. But I didn't
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: step on anybody's leprechaun.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, exactly eleven cents, Yeah, just saying, all right, next one,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: all right, if.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: The Lakers hired Dan Hurley, where would you put them
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: in the West.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: It's weird Dan Hurley's style with professional players. It's also
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: why college coaches for the most part, don't work out.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying he won't work out. And if
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: they offer a one hundred million dollars deal, let's go,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I go too. And he may he's want, you know,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: multiple national championships, and he may be bored and maybe
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: that was his dream. So but I don't know that
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: relationship because he is a big personality and it's his
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: culture in college, he's for sure the only one that's
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: going to be here next year ever here, Yeah, if
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: he wants to be, he's the only one that it's
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: for sure going to be there. And he gets to
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: yell and he makes more money than the players, and
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: it's just a different vibe in the NBA. But because
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I do listen to people that I
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: trust that do know, and they regard him as a
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: like not just a big motivator because that's its own
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: style of coach, but like like a real developer of talent,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: like basketball players. And they think, you know that, that's
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: why he would go to LA If he does, I
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: haven't seen if it's now announced or if they've closed
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: the deal. I thought it was reddick until I read
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: about early. I know I came out of nowhere, out
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: of nowhere, So I'm just going to trust the people
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: that I trust and know more than me. And they
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: think he'll be a great addition. But it's weird to
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: see a college coach go to the NBA or NFL
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: and succeed because it really doesn't happen a whole lot anymore.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because you see those clips of him in practice,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: you're like, Lebron like that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, screamy Johnson man for sure. Right, And that's why
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how hard is.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: It to be a head coach with Lakers? This is
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: like a Jerry Jones situation over there, like where the
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Lakers are still like the Showtime Lakers. Now Lebron's like
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: he's in charge or there.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: That's one thing with Lebron's obviously the biggest personality. It's
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: a good question too, the biggest personality, the biggest force
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: in the NBA, HM period, because that's not just basketball,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: that's a company. And he's got to sign off on you. Yeah,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: and when he's tired of you, you you go. So
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know. In some of these places, these smaller
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: market teams are teams that have had no success. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: can see where like even a Jason Kidd who goes
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: in and in doubt, like, that's freaking Jason Kidd. You
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: have to he's done it. He's done it at a
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: high level. That's your coach. You got to respect that
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: he's done in the NBA better than you have. Yeah. Yeah,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: And so because he's all time great.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: My kids didn't know that. I had to explain that
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: to him who he was.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: We'll watch clips.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: So if you Lebron and a coach comes in that
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: never played like we played it like, it doesn't have
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: to be early. But if a coach played like D
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: two ball at Centennial and all of a sudden he's
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: telling you, you're like, bro, you ain't even done this before.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that. We're dynamic, Like
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: what he was an assistant.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Before, Like I see him and where is he at?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: And where's he at now? I know he's coach for
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the Lakers, but Vulgel I see him just like, I
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: don't know this guy's credentials. Even the Miami coach he.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: In Toronto was Vogel in Toronto and they won the
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: championship as an assistant. I don't know, keep going.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: It's just that vibe of like he doesn't talk, he
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't yell, he doesn't talk. He actually looks like he
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: didn't say anything during the games, and he's very quiet.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, like I don't remember him playing in college.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I don't remember him playing in the NBA, so I
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: don't know what credentials are. So I feel like people
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: can get away with that, Like even the Miami, the
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Miami he coach what's his name, Spolster, Yeah, Spolster, Like
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: His but he wouldn't have got away with it had
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: he not, had they not super believed in him because
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: of how smart he was. Yeah, he's a tape rat that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: He was surprising, Whereas like at the beginning of his career, like, oh,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: he's just got Lebron and d Wade, duh, and then
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: now it's like, oh, actually ten years later he's pretty big.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: And not only that, you had people sticking up for him,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: where he had pat Riley going I don't care what
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: happens with any of the players, like you're going to
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: lose if it's up to me. Spolster is the guy
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: telling his players that you gotta kind of have that
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: too school. What do you see?
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: So Vogel was with the Pacers for five years and
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Magic in sixteen and eighteen, than the Lakers from as
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: he in to twenty two, and then the Suns this
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: past year, and then he's coach.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, I may be thinking of the coach was fired
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: this last year. That was with the Toronto the Raptors.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: He was an assistant with the Raptors. I think when
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: they won the championship hand uh Darvin Ham Yeah maybe yeah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Looked at it because I could be wrong with that.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I'd love to be wrong twice wrong. That would be
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: excellent for me to be or maybe the Bucks or
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: something I don't know, okay, uh yeah, the NBA, I
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: don't know. It's a weird, weird dynamic there, especially coaching
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Lebron because in football there really isn't a player that
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: overruns a.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Coach the Bucks assistant?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Was it the Bucks? They won the championship?
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: He was with them.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I mean you had Tom Brady. You couldn't coach Tom Brady.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: The one person that could was Bill Belichick, and he
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: did they.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking more of what's his name in in
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay kind of just let him.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I think that was understanding going in. There's Justine here,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: the coach here. They have been dealing with Bill for
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: twenty years. Now, I'm gonna do whatever I want. That's
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: probably the only reason he would even go there too, right,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: It wasn't he's there and then he overpowers arians. I
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: think he doesn't even go there unless he knows he
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: has that control.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was some type of agreement that sorry, what else?
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Last one here? After a dominant winning game one. If
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: you're a MAVs fan, how worried would you be? On
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: a scale of one to five, five being.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I'd be as scared as I was initially three. I
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: still feel they lost it on the road. It wasn't pretty,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: but you also didn't know how good Porzingis was going
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: to be or what he could I I think they
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: learned a lot. I think they. I think I have
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: shocked one game too. I prob put a thousand bucks
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy. My wife believes that they really
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: they didn't try to lose it, but lost it and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: just to kind of let the Celtics feel like, oh,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you've got this whole thing. You can kill us here,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: beat us by twenty points. I'm like, really, that's your theory.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: You think stuff like that sometimes. But that and Kevin
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: thinks teams can sweep teams if they want to.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: We all have our version of that.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I told him, like, really, okay, that works all.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Right, that's a tittletat. I go ahead, the tattle tattle.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Do we want to do one of the interviews before
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: break or take a break first, or do one interview? Okay, hey, Kevin,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: do uh set up the manager one here? I don't
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: have to pay per I through it away.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, here we go with Saint Louis Cardinals manager Ali Mormole,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: also known as coach Alie, sat down with him in
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Saint Louis for our visit for too much access.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: What's his name?
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: No, Iady Alie?
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Skip yeah him every time right by the way too
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: much access, doesn't get the full interview, only twenty five whistles.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: That's right. Exclusive. Well that's a per we do. That's why.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: That's how I can justify it, because I lose a
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: lot of money on doing too much axcess right now,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: so but we use it for this show too, so
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: full at full interview here Coach Marmle from We're in
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: his office by the way, sitting on a couch. There's
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: nothing in his We're all naked.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: All right with no one.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: We're not just gonna weren't, which.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: How only I was. And it was weird all right
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: with the Cardinals when we walked in. We sat down
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: for a sec and somebody walked in and like whispered
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: some top secrets up to you, and I did everything
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I could not.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: I didn't listen. I did literally no.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know what was being said, but it felt
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: very important and there were some big decisions being made.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: But I want you to know I did not hear it.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Now does that happen a lot where somebody comes in
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: as like we need to go to Businessess, you're so
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: close to the locker room, you gotta gotta keep that quiet.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Usually they'll close the door. But since you guys were
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: in here, it was very yeah, low key. Yes, I
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: did not listen much much. Okay, maybe I'll listen a
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: little more. Maybe I just heard a couple of words.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: But it's actually, yeah, did you hear a little bit?
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're hoping it's not a thing, because if it's
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: a thing, No, No, I don't know what you're talking about.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I keep secrets.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I know everybody's secrets, and I don't tell secrets because
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I just I'm just an honest man coach. So I'm
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: gonna leave it there. But this is really cool, like
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: to be a manager of a major league team, all professional.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Things aside like that. It's so freaking cool, right it is?
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: It really? Especially here? Yeah, I mean this is you
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: talk about baseball town. This is incredible. So to do
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: it for this organization. This is year eighteen for me
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: as a player.
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: Then I couldn't hit, they released me, became a hitting
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: coach that came up through the ranks that way as
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: a manager, and then to be here and then hold
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: that seat.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Man, it's it's incredible, It really is.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: When you look at you know, Herzog Metheni LaRussa. This
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: place has put out extremely in the baseball world, not
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: even just Cardinals, but in Major League baseball, like the
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: greatest managers in the history of the game. A little
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: bit of pressure like within yourself to just like perform
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: because of the past and the history in a good way. Though.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I it's one thing when you wake up
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: every morning.
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: If you were with an organization that didn't care as
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: much as the Cardinals do, like I'm not sure I
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: would wake up for that and do it every day.
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: It's it's that pressure, the expectation of doing it well
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: that actually gets me going.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, you go out there to night and you lose,
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: they hate you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 9: There's something good about that that, Like it gets you
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: motivated to man, make sure you're not missing anything and uh,
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: the city loves their baseball and you better win.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the city there's like three Saint Louis, Chicago, Boston,
• 41:19

• 41:49
  Speaker 9: up on the walls.

  Speaker 9: Different staff members come in for about two minutes a piece,
• 42:35
  Speaker 9: and you kind of catch up with them, and then

  Speaker 9: around now players start showing up and you have certain
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: scheduled meetings with them, Guys you got to talk to.

  Speaker 3: Yeah that's a visual Yeah me too.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I don't like what I visualize. We'll edit that right, Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Whose favorite ball player growing up?
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know if I had a favorite like
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: player player.
• 43:20
  Speaker 9: I grew up watching like Omar the Scale playing short,
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: which I enjoyed watching him.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: One of the best defensive sort stops in the history.
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: Of the game.
• 43:26
  Speaker 9: So if I like watch the player, probably Omar. Living
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: in Florida, we caught a lot of the Marlins games,
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: a lot of the Braves games. So I watched a
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: lot of Braves, but never had like, man, my favorite player.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Did you model yourself positionally after anyone, or did you
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: watch anyone's tape and like watch how they would do
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: it or or ways they would get to the ball.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know, do you mirror it all? After Antegrate?
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Probably the scale in the way he played the game,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I mean defensive, just guru. Never meet him, never did,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: no ever have I.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Met my holiday once. I'll that go for you and
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: it went okay. He texted me and he said to
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: give you a hug. I have the text and I
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm just gonna say that, not gonna do
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I said, hug on my camera. I was like, I'm
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: just gonna say that.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: So Matt and I have been really.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Good friends for fifteen years, like old school. You guys
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: are super close, like real life friends. Yes, how did
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: that relationship come about? Man?
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: He was in the big leases, I was in the
• 44:24
  Speaker 9: minor leagues. And his wife is a better person than
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: him and got along with my wife. Yes, and we
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: just we lived in Jupiter. They lived in Jupiter in
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: the off season, so we would go over there and
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: just hang out and have dinners and man, it was we.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Were there a lot. So got to know him.
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: Once I got this job, I offered him the bench
• 44:43
  Speaker 9: coach job and he did it for about three minutes
• 44:45
  Speaker 9: and then chucked the deuce on me.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: But I still love him. He also worked for his
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: brother for about three minutes and then yeah, he did
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: the same thing for his brother.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: When you have a friend like Matt and you watch
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: his kids grow up to be like, I don't want
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: to say better because then I don't put that pressure
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: on them.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: But they're elite, but both of them, does it make
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: you feel old?
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: I attended the wedding for Jackson and he was standing
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: up there, and it was the first time I was like,
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: what are we doing like this? I remember him very little,
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: but manly. The kids a beast, and Ethan's incredible as well,
• 45:21
  Speaker 9: so it's it'll be fun to watch them.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: And Matt looks like he could still play if he
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: wanted to. If let's say, everybody like pulled the hamstring today, Yeah,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: give him a call all at once.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not asking that. Could you do? Could you
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: give three innings right now?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Me?
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh no, I couldn't do it what I played,
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: but you give he gives three innings in the field.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: I chucked the deuce, you chucked eight men eight. What's
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: what's the hardest part about this show?
• 45:47
  Speaker 9: When you do it well, you sacrifice something. It's usually
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: comes at the expense of family, and it's hard not
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: to carry the losses home because I mean, you're thinking
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: about it NonStop.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: I got two little girls, there's six and four, and
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I have to It takes me about thirty minutes.
• 46:02
  Speaker 9: To drive home, and I need to by the time
• 46:05
  Speaker 9: I get home, I need to be dad because the
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: scrutiny is real.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: This town loves one and then when you lose, they
• 46:10
  Speaker 9: hate you, and rightfully. So that's part of being a fan.
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: Things are going well great if they're not in somebody's head,
• 46:16
  Speaker 9: and that's mine. So making sure that when I get home,
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: the hardest thing is that I'm present and I'm there
• 46:22
  Speaker 9: for my wife and my kids. And then when I
• 46:24
  Speaker 9: leave home, lock it back in and do a good
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: job here.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: Could you get unlimited massages here with the staff?
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: For sure, right, because that's what I would do.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I would command every day. I mean, because obviously the
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: players need work. I mean, could you just come in
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes early and every day and have an appointment?
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Can I? Yeah? Yeah, I've never got one you're missing out.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: That's the first thing I would do. That's the first
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: thing I tousted.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: Mind.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: I get all the free free clothes and massages from
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: the trainers.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: And all the gum and you see, pis.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: I can't do a lot of sugar now as I
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: gett an older sugarind of sits in my gut.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: But I would do seeds. Are you getting one while
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: you're here? I didn't know they were free, so we
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: have to have to talk to the staff. Yeah, yeah,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: we'll do it. How are your injuries? Do you ever
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: feel them?
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Like if you're interesting personal from plan days and the
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: weather because the Midwest weather it's like changing all the time.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, not really. No, I tore my moniscus.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: I feel that from time to time. But no, I'm good.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: How's your arm? You still throw? I don't throw? No throw?
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: Great?
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. See that's the thing I would do too. I'd
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: be playing all the time.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: This is what I would be in the manager and that.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm asking him like, do you ever do that?
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: So if you had this job, you're running around the field.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'll be a player coaching. Get the massage
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: every day?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get a massage, eat a bunch of seeds,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: change like three outfit changes during the day with all
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: the free.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: And then I'd be a player coach shoe game will
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: be on point absolutely.
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: If you understand he's so far away from your job
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: that he's fantasizing.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: All yeah, that's it.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, I work, and I do stand
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: up and I do podcasts and radio, and but it's
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: like my dream has always been to be like a
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: big comedian of rock. So I just we created a
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: comedy band and we played these shows with thousands of people.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: But only did that because I want.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: To be a rock star. Like we've schemed away to
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: be a rock star the same way I would scheme
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: away to be like a play to day. What does
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: your day look like today?
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? So we did the radio show
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: this morning, and we did a podcast out in front
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: of this. Okay, we're here talking to you, we'll talk
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: to probably Paul. We're going to go, but we're watching
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: We're gonna stay for the game. Are you hitting today?
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: I don't know the lettuce that'd be nice, I hear you.
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: The thing is, you just talked about how much you
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: would hit.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I hear you, but like I
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: probably need a massage after it. That's the thing I'm
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: worried about, is that is your whole closet red here? Yeah?
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, at home? No, but you know, I mean even
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: at home. Like if you can't wear let's say you
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: go to the grocery store and you're blue. No, I
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: never no, I never wore red outside.
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: Why couldn't he wear blue because of the grocery If I.
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: Assign at the grocery store, the Cardinals manager wearing blue,

  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: No, I used to have Twitter, and it's a it's
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: a dangerous place, very dangerous. Yeah, it's a yeah you
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: don't want to look.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: There's no love there. I mean I do really cool things.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Sometimes nobody ever tells me they still hate you. They
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: still do. Oh it makes me feel better. Yeah, No,
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: I don't go on there anymore. It's a there's one
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two, that's that's so many games. Yeah.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: So the funny question is that's a lot of even
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: if you're you have a really good season and you
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: lose sor to sixty games. You have one hundred win.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: That's still sixty losses that people get upset about. They'll
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: get upset even when you win sometimes too okay, But
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: the real question is do you think one sixty two
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: is too many games? Gosh, I don't even think about it. Man.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: You put your head down and you just go, like
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: one spring training is over.
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: I don't know what day of the week it is.
• 49:41
  Speaker 9: I don't know what time, Like you just show up
• 49:43
  Speaker 9: and you just go. I've never even thought of it,
• 49:47
  Speaker 9: to be quite honest.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: On one hand, I have a lot here's my thoughts.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: On one hand, baseball as such, the history of our
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: country right, no doubt. And it's fun to see today
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: compete with fifty years ago. Okay, you know Mari hit
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: sixty one and sixty one, and you have McGuire, but
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: you have all of this like it's fun. This this
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: sport does that. It allows that to happen. So I
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: would hate for that to be gone. But I don't
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: keep up with one hundred and sixty two anythings Like
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: what would.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: You shorten to? I'd probably go in the one forties
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: ten excuse me? Like Little League?
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just do nine one.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: I probably go because I probably go like ninety and
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: then seven innings.
• 50:40
  Speaker 9: Yes, I think one of the greatest things when we
• 50:43
  Speaker 9: did the during COVID, when we did the double headers
• 50:45
  Speaker 9: and there were seven inning double headers.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Money. I think, like football, for example, it's ninety a week.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: By the way, Well, then I think we should do
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: eighty one and everything counts is double against the old.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: School, like you do eighty one.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I think one sixty two. As I get
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: older and my attention span gets shorter, I'm like, man,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: I can't keep it one hundred sixt to of anything. Yeah,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I wonder if you had any thoughts on that, because
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: I feel like July like that's like burnout time for it. Yes,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: you're right in the middle of it. Does it ever
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: get like that to you where you're.
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: But you get that, you get the All Star break
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: and you get that reset, which is helpful, and three
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: days doesn't seem like a ton. But when you don't
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: get many days off, three days is an eternity.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: But what if you make the All Star team, then
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: you got to keep going. Does it look like I'm
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: making an All Star team? Well, you don't make All
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Star office. There's nothing in here. This is the ending office. Literally,
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: So next season hopefully we'll see some stuff. But I
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: think you can.
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: I think you guys no for a player, and that's
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: why some of these guys, man, they make it and
• 51:42
  Speaker 9: they're toast like they're like they're gassed. So I do
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: hear that, and the guys will come in. They will
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: make the all start team. They're excited about it, obviously.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: But it's it's a drained What about load management in baseball?
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, when you look at how you use your pen
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: and given this is a big part like our season
• 52:01
  Speaker 9: right now, dug ourselves a hole and you want to
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: give guys like.
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: Goldie and Nato and some of these guys a day off. Man,
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: when you're trying to catch up. That's hard to do.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: And they're great about it because they don't want days off.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: But load manage it's a real thing.
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: Skip where's your phone during the during the game, Like
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: do you have it on you or is it back
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: in your office?
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: You can't have you can't have it on you.
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: Okay, So so say your wife wants to get ahold of.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: You, she calls a trainer, Like if something real happens.
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: Even like, do you have a buddy who's like, man,
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: I need to talk to you about something my chick
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: left me, Like I got.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: You know, if somebody needs me during the game, Yeah,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: they're gonna wait. Yeah, you gotta wait.
• 52:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Like if something happens at the house, she'll call
• 52:46
  Speaker 9: a trainer and they'll grab me and pull me in here.
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: But if you need to tell me about girl leaving you.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: We'll do that.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, we do a radio show and we always
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: have those buddies. They're like, man, I'm trying to call you,
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: Like we're.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: In like two hundred cities right now, so don't try
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: to FaceTime meant literally talking to millions of people.
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: Yes, No, I don't get any calls like people just know.
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: So I don't get anything during the game. If someone really,
• 53:08
  Speaker 9: like if my wife really needs me, that's different. But that, yeah,
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: it doesn't happen.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: What if the let's say the eight hole, they get
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: the last out in the inning, so nine's up and
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: they go back and I don't.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Know, they say they're watching tape, but they go back
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: here to check their phone. Does that ever happen? Yeah,
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: that happens, And that's okay. I mean it happens and
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: is what it is.
• 53:26
  Speaker 9: It is what it is.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the grown man. What if they're getting
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: a massage? What if you like, if they come back,
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: That's what I would do. I'll come back.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I'll be like, my hamstring's killing me, and I'll come
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: back get some work done on my my hamstring.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: I'm just injured all the time. Like that's like the greatest,
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: the greatest thing they could happen.
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: But take care of it before the game starts. Yeah,
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: and then you're out there on the bench with the boys. Yeah, Okay,
• 53:46
  Speaker 9: we were ranking cool things to get from players. I'm
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: gonna let you on a little secret. So I don't
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: mean for this to be a flex, but it's gonna
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: sound like a little flex' do it. I was the
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: youngest person ever put in like the Broadcasting Hall of Fame,
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: Sorry about it.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with your chest. I was the So basically I'm like,
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: I'm like the Babe Ruth of proadcasting. That's it. Yeah.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: So we were going to talk with Paul later, and
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I was gonna go because you have players in basketball
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: for well, the culture. They'll trade jerseys now a big
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: part of it. And so I was going to go,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you something to mine. I was gonna
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: just give him a microphone and see what he would
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: give me back as the bit that's funny without telling him,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: we were doing it. Yes, and Paul knows of me
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: a bit because he played college ball down where we're from,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: no doubt, and so we were ranking the cool things
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: to get from players. At bottom was the sign baseball.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: That's like the worst.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: That's okay, I'm with you, okay. Second would be a
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: batting love. Yeah, that might be. Things seemed worse than baseball.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: I'd rather have a ball, okay, Yeah, who are those
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: balls in your desk? By the way, my little girls
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: got it.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Third, we got to the very top. So what's the
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: coolest thing you could get? Before we tell you what
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: our answer was, man, and don't go crazy.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Skip like.
• 55:03
  Speaker 8: The locker room.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Out of the locker room. I probably rather have cleats
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: over a bat or a jersey or yeah. I thought
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: cleat's over bat. They didn't think cleats was that cool.
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: I thought cleats were awesome.
• 55:15
  Speaker 8: I went batting helmet.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: When do you ever see anyone give their batting helmet away?
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Not often? And then they went glove. And then glove
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: because the glove would never happen, but that one's not
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: gonna happens. That's like, yeah, the thing that would be
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: Uh the players have multiple gloves in their locker.
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: Oh gosh, yeah, yeah, but there's there's like a practice club,
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: a game glove, and then one that they're breaking in
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: in order to kind of cycle it through.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: So that was number one on the list. I can
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: see that. Do you have any cool memorabilia form players? Oh? Man,
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: I rarely ask.
• 55:47
  Speaker 9: From that last year of Albert and the audience stuff.
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: I got some cool stuff there from them that they
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: kind of gave me at the end.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Of the year, but I rarely asked. Like an opposing team,
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: how do you feel about managers wearing uniforms? I have
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: to No, I know, I know you have to, but
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, would you choose? This is a big thing
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: in the city. They get mad when I don't warn
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: my jersey. That's the thing. Yeah, what do they go
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: on Twitter? The thing that we talked about.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: We've heard of it?
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, they really? Oh yeah, and I again, baseball is
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: awesome because it's traditions, right.
• 56:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Like I wear pants and I don't mind like
• 56:24
  Speaker 9: throwing the hoodie on, and I'm good to go, you know,
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: but they really like the jersey's are real things.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: So I wear my jersey every day.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: But let's say that they were they get you were
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: the only person on the board of change. Would you
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: have managers wear the full uniform?
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: The full uni Yeah, gosh, you're gonna make people hate
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: me even more. No, I don't think I would either, though. Yeah.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: I think that's one of the traditions that I don't
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: because most not you great physical.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: Shape, Yeah, you look good, you look good skip, But
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: I would if I were a manager, I wouldn't want
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: my big gut hanging out over my.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: For me, I wouldn't want that.
• 56:57
  Speaker 8: You're constantly like walking through your pants. That's a plumber fit,
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: right man.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about anybody specifically, but I wouldn't
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: want that about with me. Yes, and so you don't
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: worry about that for probably what would you wear?
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: I was? I would just wear a hoodie and like
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: just like some no, the Adidas pant I don't want
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: baseball pants either.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: You don't fill them out. That's not very nice. We
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: don't like that.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Being honest, I didn't like that one bit, all right, Okay,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: so real question about this. Yeah, I feel like now
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: we're building a little bit, made a rough start. You
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: feel like we're almost back to five hundred as.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Of right now. Yeah, duggerself as a whole.
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: The biggest thing was the offense not coming together, clicking together,
• 57:41
  Speaker 9: and everything else actually looked really good when you look
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: at the pitching, the rotation, the bullpen, defense, all the
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: way around. It was it was clean. The hitters were
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: a little behind, and now we've caught up and we've
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: put it together and we've won eight out of ten
• 57:53
  Speaker 9: or so. But I do feel like we're heading in
• 57:56
  Speaker 9: a really good direction.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: You feel like you have an open door, and do
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: they accept the open door to the players come and
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: talk to you. Yeah, that's one thing that's been really good.
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: These guys.
• 58:05
  Speaker 9: I mean, I've known a lot of them for for
• 58:07
  Speaker 9: a while, and they're comfortable coming in here and shooting
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: the straight.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: Like. Our biggest word is honesty, and sometimes you have
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: to say things that people don't want to hear. But
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: it goes both ways and I think it works well.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: Are you younger than some of the players, I believe
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: so that's when Wayna was here for sure.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: Getting boss people around older than you, that's awesome. That's freak.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: That's the coolest.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: That might be the coold part of the job.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: That would be awesome. Okay, I got We have three
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: final questions. Do you ever go to the mound full
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: intention to pull a guy and he convinces you otherwise,
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: even though is made.
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: Up, it's happened before, Yes, this year it's it has
• 58:49
  Speaker 9: not with Wayno, it happened a couple of times with Wyno.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: So what could he say? Gosh, he's just like you
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: go out there. You know he's gassed. It's I'm And
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: there's a level of respect of like, man, let me
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: get this last guy.
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: These are my runs. Let me be the one to
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: give it up. I got this and you you sit
• 59:09
  Speaker 9: there and you on your way back to the dugout.
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: You're going, this is a bad idea. And there's times
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: that works out, and there's times it doesn't. You just
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: kind of keep going. But there is a level of
• 59:20
  Speaker 9: trust of looking a guy in the eye and saying,
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: you know what, all right, I.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: Trust you, it's yours. Go get it, and it pays
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: dividends down the road.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: You know, yelling at the oh boy go yeah, Like,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: what's like, do you think that you have a chance
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: when you get up there to win that argument?
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're trying to win anything. What are
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: you what's the what is the win? Gosh, just letting
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: it eat.
• 59:44
  Speaker 9: Just you hold it in for so long and you
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: see your guys get screwed and listen, they're trying to
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: do their job, and for the most part, they do
• 59:54
  Speaker 9: a good job. But there's times where you're just sitting
• 59:57
  Speaker 9: there and enough's enough and you go out and you
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: just yell into their soul.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we just Helarady wants robots, that's what I heard.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: He wants Have you gotten too close to where like
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: you spit on your Like no, no, man, Like you're
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: not trying to disrespect that right, No, no, no, I'm not.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 8: Actually I'm saying while you're yelling like no.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: No, I have not, And I actually like it when
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: they come back at you. That's what makes it. I mean,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: we are in the entertainment business and people asked to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: be thrown like once, yeah once. This was I think
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: It might have been in twenty two, but yeah, I
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: went out and one of the first things was get
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: me out of this one.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: You just go at it for a little bit. They
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: tossed you. That's awesome. Yeah, it'd be so cool to
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: be tossed.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, I get a massage immediately training And where did
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: you go? Where did you go?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: Skip?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: When we're at home, I chill right here, I turn
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: it on the TV and we'll just watch it from
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: in here. And it gives you easy access in case
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: people still need you during the game. I'm trying to
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: think of on the road.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: I try to stay in.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: Dang it, no, because you still have to do post games,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: so it's not start drinking and you know, slur your words.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: Last question, it comes to analytics.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like we've seen like the analytics stock market
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: go up and down and then it became everything. It's
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: fun as a per to look like ex of velocity, right,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Like that's fun to see and compare, But it gets
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: to be too much sometimes. And as a manager, how
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: much now do you do you feel like it's back
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: on the let's let's let human and intuition take over
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: a little more than it was five years ago.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: I don't think it needs to be nearly as polarizing
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 9: of a conversation as people make it like it's information
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 9: that's all it is, and I'm gonna take as much
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 9: of it as possible to inform my decision, but it's
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 9: not going to make my decision right. So I'm in
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: favor of bring me everything you got, whether that's a
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: coach that's seeing something and has a gut feel for
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 9: a player or a situation, or someone from upstairs coming
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 9: down and saying, hey, here's what we're seeing trend wise.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 9: So for me, it's man, give me as much information
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 9: to make my decisions possible. Still, you can contradict that, though,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 9: and go, I'm not feeling that. I've never had someone
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: from our analytics apartment or president or anybody come downstairs
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 9: and question the decision based on your gut versus the numbers.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: Not once, and that's not everywhere. I can tell you that. Yeah,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: and where would it be listening right now?
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: We really appreciate it, really cool to see that that
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: that turn around already the season and now rooting for
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: you guys, I got to keep it going, and yeah,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: let's keep it going.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 8: I like you.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: I think I've decided I'm going to play for you someday.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: All right, some day, dude, your life. All right, thanks coach,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: Now you.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Got us all right, thanks to coach Mama, Thanks to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals. We'll come back in a minute. We'll talk
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: to Paul gold Schmidt and we'll do our endody good. Yeah,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: all right, we'll take a break, all right. Paul gold Schmidt.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: What a big freaking dude.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Oh he's a monster. I didn't realize he was that.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: He's a football player. Big. He's big. He's not, He's
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: not just like big. He's tall, big bone. He had
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: a big muscled, big dude. His hands excuse me what
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: I didn't notice?
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't notice his hands.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was talking more like his biceps. A big dude.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: It's super cool to us. I think it was cool
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: that he was a listener of the show back in
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: the day. Yeah, when he was playing collegeball, he would
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: listen to the bibone show. That was super neat.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: I think it helped, dude, And honestly, I think I
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: got the best compliment that I've ever gotten in this
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: industry or whatever you want to call it is. After
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: the interview, he says like, wow, now I understand, Like, well,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: you guys do what you do, You're really good at it,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's really cool.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: That's cool.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: He said he hates doing interviews, but he and he
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: enjoyed this one.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he wanted to do this one.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which was cool. I think again it helped that
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: he was familiar with the show as a fan. And
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: then yeah, we just kind of let him have it,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: you know how we do here. He is in l
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: MVP twenty twenty two. And by the way, he started
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: playing some ball after we left. Yeah, he did Homer's smackeroose.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: The team started playing ball after we left.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: Did you guys have any influence on that.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: It's that's up to you. Well, we left and they
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: got they were like, thank god, and they gotten a
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: lot better.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I saw Nolan Aeronado hit a homer.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, he was.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: We were with him.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: We were with him too.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, oh, here you go. Paul Golschmidt, one
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: of the guys on our show, was the announcer for
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: like the baseball team and so at Texas State.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was like, you guys are going to
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: see Paul.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: You actually have a small mini helmet on my desk
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: that you had signed somewhere. I don't know how, but
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: it's on my desk right now, you.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: Bought it a charity auction.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: That is important.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 6: That is exactly what.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: No, that is what.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: That is where I got it.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: I wear it every day.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: But no, it's a mini help. But and it came
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: up because he was like, oh, I used to call
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: his name out and we were like, oh, yeah, I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: went to Texas State.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so you had we thought it was school. Get
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 6: even heard of us?
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: I know that's true. Who knows, I'm not. I heard
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 7: you all on the radio, you know. But now this
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: is what I really remember. We would have six am
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: workouts and I remember we'd be sitting in the cars, like,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 7: meet my three roommates and and how did you start
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 7: the show? Someone dude? Yeah, so we tried to get
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 7: pumped up before the coaches would tear us a new one.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 6: And it's probably why you're so successful.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 7: Honest, Yeah, that was pumped up. That's probably like the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: thing that motivated us.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: And wow, how did you end up at Texas State
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: from because you're like Delaware Northeast right.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 7: So I was born in Delaware. My parents are both
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 7: from the northeast, and but we moved to Texas when
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: I was about a year old. So I grew up
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 7: in Texas, lived in Dallas area for a few years,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 7: and then I grew up outside of Houston in the Woodlands,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: and so just you know, got recruited by a few
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: of the Texas schools and chose Texas State, and it
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: was awesome there too.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: I was looking back at like the hard data of
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: your career.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize you had been drafted so late when
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: you were drafted and even you went to college, right,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: you didn't go and play a minor league ball?
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 7: What we had to go to the miners after college.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 6: But I'm saying a lot of like people, some folks
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 6: I know, don't even go to college.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: They go right to Yeah, yeah, they go that's true. Yeah.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 6: What clicked was it physically? Was it mentally like to
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: be drafted that late the Dodgers draft?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: You Dodgers took me in forty ninth round, which doesn't
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 7: even exist anymore, just they like doesn't I think we
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 7: only do twenty rounds now.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: So what happened like physically mentally? What was it for
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: you that clicked in a way of like, oh, I'm
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: starting to get this now.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 7: I mean I was always a good player. I just think,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: you know, every team knew, like, this guy's gonna need
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 7: more time. If we're gonna draft, we're gonna emeo. Most
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 7: of the guys that are signing are just very very
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: talented out of high school, and they're just you know,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 7: we need to get this guy now. It's not even
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: ways of going to college. But I think, you know,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: probably half half of the league are probably college guys,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: and so you know, we go to college, you continue
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: to mature, continue to learn, get a lot of playing experience.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: Even then, I went in the eighth round, so there
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 7: was probably two hundred and something guys drafted before me.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 7: So I think again same go to the minor leagues
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: and just kind of see what's happening and continue to
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 7: get experience. I was probably the biggest thing.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: I just played every single day as many games as
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: I could, continue to just practice and work as hard
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 7: as I could, and just wanted to be ready if
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: I got that opportunity.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: What was your ascension? Did you go rookie ball, A double,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: A triple, A majors get sent back?
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: Like? What was that man I I had? I got?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: I got fortunate. I went to rookie ball. The first
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 7: year it played pretty well, didn't get called up that year.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 7: So the next year I went to High A ball
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 7: and didn't get I had a good year, but didn't
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: get called up again, and I'm like, okay, And then
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 7: I got to Double A the next year, and I
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 7: was having a probably the best year of my career,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 7: and like, man, I guess they're just gonna let me
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: keep playing. And then all of a sudden I got
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: the call and they said, you're going to the big leagues.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 7: Got to skip Triple A and uh go up with
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: with Arizona. We played in San Francisco and obviously a
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 7: day in a moment I'll never forget.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 6: Did you stay up?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: Did you ever go back down? No?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: Pretty fortunate that.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 7: You know, as always, I think that's one of the
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 7: hardest things we get called up, is just like trying
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 7: to get comfortable. You want to get a few hits,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: especially some big hits. You're not gonna most guys aren't
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 7: gonna get up there and just dominate. So you know,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 7: I definitely had my ups and downs, but was able
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 7: to kind of do enough to uh to stay up.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: One of my best friends, you actually had the biggest
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: contract that replaced his biggest contract one of my really
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: good friends is Matt Holliday, and so he got sent down.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: He didn't come up here the same like he got
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: sent back down. We're gonna let the leaves he get blown.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: We edit this out, fire them, fire them, you have.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 7: We need those guys.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, So what are they doing blowing water off
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 6: the field?
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: Water or just dirt, sunflower seeds, whatever it is.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 6: They don't know who you are, No, they do.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 7: That's why it takes such good care of the field.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: Somebody said that they're the best around. Like do you
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 6: just say that every ground Yeah? Everybody said there or
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 6: is like.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 8: What makes them so good?
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 7: No, they do good.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 6: They don't even care that the stars doing an interview.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 7: They don't care about interviews. I think to me, it's
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 7: just they care about it. You can we're undername names
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: where there's some places where the grounds crew kind of
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: does their job and they leave and you don't see
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 7: him for a few hours, or they just kind of
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 7: like break the infield. And then you see most places
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: where the grounds crew is always there. If some needs attention,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 7: they're kind of going overboard, like you know, sweeping up
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 7: some flower sieves which make no uh no effect. On
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: the ball.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 6: Do you feel like if you bench press a lot,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 6: your swing gets a little tighter. I do plans off ball, yeah,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 6: of course.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a point of no return where you know
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 7: too much bench press is too much. But uh I
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 7: think you also want one strength too.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 6: So do you give a max out?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 7: No, Well, the last time I did that was probably
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: in college, and uh so, no, I think not many
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 7: guys are max out it.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did that like three weeks ago. Yeah, take
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: a guess. Take your guess, und we'll take it close.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: We'll move on with real close. Yeah, we'll take it
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 6: a real question.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: So in twenty two, when you win the MVP, do
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: you watch what's happening as it's going, like you think
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm in the race?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: Like, do you keep up with that at all?
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 7: I really try not to. It's more just like I
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: don't want to get distracted, you know, I don't want
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 7: Oh i'm doing good, let's keep it going, or if
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: that adds pressure, Oh I'm struggling now I need to
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 7: step it up. So for me, it's just really staying
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: in the moment. But that year was unique just because
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 7: you know, I went to the All Star Game and
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 7: then going into that last month, you know, you get
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: asked a lot of questions by the media, and I
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 7: think that's where I just kind of find everything out.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: And so I knew the last month that you know,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: me and a few other guys we had a chance
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 7: once you do that, So I didn't want to put
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 7: too much pressure on myself. And I actually didn't have
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 7: a good last month, so maybe maybe that was the reason,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: but ended up good enough and was able to win
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 7: that award.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: What's a slump for you? How many at bats without
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: getting a clean hit.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 7: Any hits, a clean hit. I mean, I'll take any
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 7: hit I can get, but I mean you start going,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 7: you know, you go a whole series was three or
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 7: four games. I mean you're thinking, man, that was that
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 7: was over thirteen? Yeah, over twelve. I wouldn't call it
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 7: a slump. Maybe double that. Maybe you get into twenties,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 7: you're like, okay, there's got to usually be some bad
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: luck once you get into fifteen twenty. I mean, you
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 7: can swinging bun or you can find a hole out
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 7: there somewhere. But when you start to get it there,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 7: and I think a couple of weeks ago I had
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 7: like thirty that might have been if it wasn't my longest,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 7: it felt like the longest.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 6: So what do you do to not think about it?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: Or what do you do to break it?
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 7: Break it? You just keep waiting and again try not
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 7: to try not to press, and for me it's a
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 7: little bit maybe just have some fun with it, but
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 7: I think seriously just trying to stay in the moment.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, each day is a new day, and try
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 7: to just keep that mindset. And you know, we've been
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 7: training for that, so same thing when you're going well,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 7: you don't want to show up and just kind of
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: goof off for a few hours and not get ready
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 7: for the game. So try to find that sweet spot
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 7: of focus but still having fun.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: Goldie.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: When you hit one out, do you know as soon
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: as you make contact with the bat that it's it's gone?
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 7: I'd say about ninety eight percent of the time. Yeah,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 7: there's the two percent where you're like, oh, that's going
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 7: to be close, and whether it's the win or just
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 7: the way you hit it, and then you're just kind
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 7: of watching. But yeah, yeah, ninety five ninety percent of
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 7: time you're like, you know, what's gone, which even watching
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 7: other guys they hit it and I'm like, I don't know.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 7: When they start celebrating and goes over by like two feet,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 7: I'm like, man, how'd you know that? Every once in
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 7: a while you get caught and then that's why you
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 7: got to make sure you're running and don't get embarrassed
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 7: out of there and throwing out at least get a double.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 7: But I don't know, maybe just because we've done it
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 7: so much. I don't know why, but it's just like,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 7: you know, like even a BB that's gone. Although the
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 7: worst feeling is when you think you get it and
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 7: then they catch it and you're like, oh, man, that's
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 7: something's off today or something like that.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: The NBA.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: Working a lot of the players with load management, right,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of games, so not as many as Baseball,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: but you know they're playing ninety games.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: They run a lot more than us.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: They do run a lot more than you, but you
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 6: do you play a lot more.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about load management in Major League
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: Baseball to keep players healthier longer.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean that's one strategy I think for me,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 7: when I came up, you had to play every day.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 7: If you didn't play every day, you know you weren't
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 7: going to have a job. Honestly, So you know, I
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 7: kind of give our guys a hard time if if
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 7: they're taking I mean, the play does It's not really
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 7: the player's choice, you know, it comes from the management
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 7: or the coaches or whatever. And I understand that there's
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: times to take days off, but I think just the
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: whole theory on that has changed a lot. I mean,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 7: when NBA, NFL, MLBS, like you, you played until you
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 7: got hurt or until you couldn't play anymore, and so
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 7: that was kind of the way I was brought up.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 7: So it's it's hard to change my mindset on that.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 7: And I think there's a mental part of that too
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 7: that's really good. It's like, man, maybe I'm not one hundred.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 7: I mean, you're never really at one hundred percent, but
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 7: maybe this would be a good day to take off.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 7: But somehow you go out there and it's you know,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 7: it's almost like you're just that mental toughness, that physical
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 7: toughness to push through it. And I think that can
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 7: pay dividends in the long room. But there's also times
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 7: when you know you got to take days.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: Off, right final five, adding your question, can you hear
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: people when you're on debt, like and I don't want
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: to give them fuel.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: But but but I remember I went to a Mets game,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: like a long time time ago, and Mike Piazzas had
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: just died his hair like white, like blonde, and somebody's like,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: you dip, you dip, and one hundred percent he heard him,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: but Mike never turned around, Like can you hear him?
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: One?
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: And how do you deal with that crap?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you can hear him, And uh, you know,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: for me, it's like just that perspective. I think there's
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 7: times when maybe you can, you know, get annoyed or whatever.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 7: Usually when you're struggling and then you know you're going good.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: You got two hits and a homer, like you say
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 7: whatever you want. I'm I'm about to go get my
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 7: third here right here. But I kind of just changed
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 7: my mindset of like just kind of enjoying it and
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 7: just taking it. I mean, it doesn't happen at home. Obviously,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: they're cheering for you most of the time, and so
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: you go on the road, you know, those tougher environments
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 7: and I'm just like it's fun. And also, man, I
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 7: grew up going to a lot of ball games. I
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 7: yelled at a lot of guys, and I was an amateur,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: so I always tell her, I, man, this is payback now,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 7: and so when it happens, I'm looking back at my
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 7: sixteen year old self as I was in the stands
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 7: talking trash, like all right, you deserve this right now,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 7: and then that kind of just makes me smile and
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 7: just try to take it in.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Four left, Who did you play with or against when
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: you first came up where you were like, that's freaking cool,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: I'm on the field with this person.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 7: Well, my favorite player was Lance Berkman growing up in Houston,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 7: So when he got to first base and he knew
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 7: who I was, that was pretty cool. But I mean
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 7: then there's Derek Jeter at the All Star Game. I
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 7: mean that was like everyone's favorite player. I think those
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 7: two guys kind of stick out, and a lot of
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 7: times my rookie year is like, don't think about who's
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 7: on the mound, you know, because I'm competing against this guy.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 7: But I've been watching a lot of the guys for
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 7: ten plus years and you knew him, maybe you're rooting
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 7: for him, or you just know how good they were.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 7: And it was almost like this mental mind trick to
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 7: just be like, all right, he's just another guy, or
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 7: you know, compare him to someone else to try to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 7: just you know, stay competitive.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Is it cool to be at the mall or someplace
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: and see you're like someone wearing new jersey and do
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: you even go up to him?
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: Sometimes?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 7: No, I usually I won't go up to him, but no,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: it is cool. And I think especially when it first
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 7: happens when you're young, and now even now and you
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 7: just see the kids, especially because that's I still pitch
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 7: myself as a kid, and you know, I watched baseball
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 7: and all sorts every night and just wanted to be
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 7: like those guys. So I think when I see those kids,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 7: and you know it used to be autographed, now say
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 7: can I take a selfie with you? Or can I
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 7: take a picture? But uh, you know you walk away
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 7: like man, that was really cool because I could, you know,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 7: see myself in there in their shoes.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: All right, Final two questions. You play a lot of baseball.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: You play a lot of baseball here, But where is
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: your It's gonna be difficult question. Possibly where do you
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: like to play?
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: That's not here?
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 7: I mean wherever I play?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 6: Well, what but you're you're going what what stadium do
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: you like like aesthetically or you hit well.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 7: I haven't. I haven't played well there, but I do
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 7: like when we go to Philly you talk about fans
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 7: talking trash, there's they're as good as anyone, And uh
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 7: so I kind of try to just enjoy that energy
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 7: that that those stadiums bring and with them kind of
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 7: you know, being in the World Series a couple of
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 7: years ago and be so good that that place has
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 7: had a lot of energy. It's a good place to hit.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 7: You know, no one wants to go to the stadium
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: where there's not as many fans. And then also as
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 7: a hitter where the outfield's huge. You know, if you
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 7: got you know the ball where the ball flies or
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 7: the pick, you know, probably going to like the course
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 7: field where the ball. Yeah but yeah, So I mean
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 7: anytime we can kind of feel that adrenaline, feel the crowd,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 7: feel the big game, whatever it is, you know, that's
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 7: fun because with one hundred and sixty two games, we're
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 7: not feeling that every day. And there are some games,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 7: as much as we don't want to admit it, that
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 7: can just kind of feel just kind of a little
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 7: bit more boring. And so when we can get that
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 7: adrenaline for whatever reason, whether it's the fans, the stadium.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 7: Sometimes it can be the other team or something that's happened.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 7: It's always fun that way, all.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Right, Last question the culture in sports NFL, especially NBA.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: You're singing, I don't know if it happens much in baseball,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: but like after a game where players will trade jersey.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 6: Has that ever happened with you guys?
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 7: I saw it the last couple of years, but not
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 7: as much, right, No, not as much. And again like
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 7: in those I don't know why, but I guess it's
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 7: probably tradition and those sports the players are kind of
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 7: on the field at the end and they're kind of
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: shaking hands. We're in baseball. We just shake hands with
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 7: their own teams, so you don't really have that much interaction,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 7: especially once the game's over. But when we had Albert Pools,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 7: Yadi or Malina, guys are coming across, hey, cree jer
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 7: jerseys or are after the game, so you get the
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 7: greats like that. You know guys will will go out
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 7: of their way to try to get something from them.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: Well, this is what I have.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: This is my final suggestion on this question. So because
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: of that, culture. I know you probably don't know this.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: So I was the youngest member ever in the Radio
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. You be in the Hall of Fame
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: one day, for sure.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna trade you my microphone. Look at this, this
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 6: is this is yours. You get to have this, all right,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 6: give me back, that's yours.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 7: I mean, I guess I gotta go with a jersey, right, No, no,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 7: it's what you don't have to do anything. So what
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 7: you're gonna want is a baseball bat because that's the
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 7: best collectible.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 6: We also debated what the best collectible was for me.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 7: It's baseball bat for sure, okay, and that's what I
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 7: have from guys on other teams that I like. And
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 7: so if you go go to my house, I got
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 7: I got a bunch of one display. It's cool because
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: they're all different. I don't know if all the microphones
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 7: are the same. But you know, in jerseys, again, they're cool,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 7: but they're all the same. They're all mostly the same size,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 7: are the same. For bat, you know, the grips are different.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 7: I don't know most people know the wood bats can
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 7: be completely customized way shape. There's limitations, but uh so
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 7: you go pick up Albert Pools's bat. That guy was
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 7: like a Greek god. So he's got a heavy bat
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 7: that you can swing somehow faster than anyone you might
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 7: get another guy. Uh he's got you know, a skin
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 7: in your bat or a lighter bat. And so to me,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 7: it's it's cool when people come over the house and
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: they want to see all the players different bets.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 6: What about the helmet though, Paul, I mean that's just.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 7: The size of your head. So uh that's uh, there's
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: not They're all the same shape. But yeah, we debated.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna sign this Hall of Fame microphone ask
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 6: this to you. This is the first and.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: I've never done this before.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: All right, yeah, and so we know you're gonna value
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 6: and treasure this.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna definitely it'll be displayed. It'll be it'll be
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 7: with all my other mom in.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: The garbage, and then we'll just see what at some
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: point what comes back. I'm gonna sign this. We go,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: here we go, Okay, silver one.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 8: We have a silver one.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: Oh, let's go. Do we need here?
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: We go?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: Read?

  Speaker 1: What's crazy is I was telling him earlier that my
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: dad he went on a business trip when I was
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: like eight or nine years old and brought me back

• 1:20:11

• 1:20:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I love the Cardinals, dude, Yeah, that's cool.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: I can't tell you the truth. I've been very quiet
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 6: about the truth.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 7: You're your Cubs fan massive. That's why you're here tonight.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 7: No to watch it, watch it, to watch this beat

  Speaker 6: No, I know that I have not said that. I'm
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: being respectful. And I even have on a red sto hat.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 7: I know that's impressive.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 6: Notice that, like there's not a Cardinal on it.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: But it's me trying.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: I'm trying.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 7: You know, we're in St. Louis. Yeah, you're halfway there.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 7: We're good.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: I'm trying and I did not admit that to anybody,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm being but yeah, yeah, I grew up a
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: massive Cubs fan.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 7: I still have respect for that. You gotta cheer for
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 7: your team. You gotta be low to your team. And no,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 7: I'm not a Cowboys fan, all right? Uh Cowboys man?
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 6: You are you a Texans fan?
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: I like the Texas. I've just been gone from Texas
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 7: for so long. It's just hard, Like, what are my
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 7: brothers and my dad they go when they root for
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 7: the Texas. They still live in Houston. I don't know.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 7: I don't really have a NFL team, right. I mean,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 7: I hate to say it, but it's fantasy football now,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 7: and I hate that because I love rooting for teams.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 7: But I just did you play high school football? I
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 7: played in seventh and eighth grade. Wedding and play in
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 7: high school? Were you bigger than everybody by the end
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 7: of high school? But now when I started, I mean,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 7: I think and that I think that's what kind of
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 7: I was kind of how you go play wide receiver
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 7: and you're kind of short and quick and uh. But
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 7: I loved baseball. And I didn't choose baseball because I
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 7: thought I could make a career of it. I just
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 7: I liked it and I was getting pounded by a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 7: lot bigger guys. And in the state of Texas, football
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 7: is no jokes. So here we go, Here we go,
• 1:21:49

  Speaker 2: full too much Access episode where we talked to them
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: obviously and we play ball on the field.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: And Eddie breaks his foot. Man, and I want everyone
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: to know, like, look, I had broken my foot early on.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: So when you see me miss all those fly balls,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: my foot was broken, I.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: Hear you, and I completely agree that you if it
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: was broken, But that foot does it when you're trying

• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: You're in the stadium, and it's just I mean, it's
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: like high tense moment and that ball's coming and it's
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: coming fast, and it's moving left, it's moving right, and
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna put your face right under it. I'm like,
• 1:23:17

  Speaker 2: Bobby Bones, and we will come back after this quick break. Okay,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: So a couple of things. One Jake Paul and Mike
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: Tyson that has been moved to November fifteenth. Oh, they
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: are to still have the fight. And it wasn't that.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: Mike Tyson was so so so sick. He couldn't fight.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: He got also couldn't train, so like he had an
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: ulster of flare up when they pulled them off there Heay,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: he wasn't a wheelchair off the plane, but you wanted
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: a wheelchair for your foot, So it's like it that's true.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 6: Store.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: But so they still expect the fight to happen, but
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been fair becus Tyson couldn't train. Hey,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: what's up with McGregor?
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what I saw a post that he heard that
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: said find out why he canceled the press the press conference,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, click on the link and
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: it was some subscription. I'm like, I'm not doing this
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: if it.

  Speaker 1: The fight is still on for June twenty eighth, I believe,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: or twenty nine.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought it might be canceled. I thought
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: McGregor might have been injured, injured himself in training or something.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: That's all Chandler like posting stuff.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: On his Instagram, Like, dude, Chandler looks strong.

• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: will be done. I can't say what it's for. You
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: guys know, but they won't let me say it. Yeah,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: but I am playing in something and they've asked me
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: for a walkout song. Oh, so be thinking about that
• 1:25:19

  Speaker 2: I'm not represents you, and I'm not sure if I'm
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: what I'm doing because you know right.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: I do know, you know right, you know right, I'm
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: gonna saynything I think.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: So I'm not sure if it's on TV or not.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: It might be streamed on something. Usually i've seen it
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: on TV. Yeah you have every Yeah really yeah, yeah,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: I did not know that you talk about that for
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: but think about that. I need to come out to
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: a walkout song. Don't spend a whole bunch time on it.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: But we'll do that, okay, and then I have let's
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: do our final thoughts and then I'll wrap it up.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: You have your final thought any Yeah, he's searching for
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: a final thought, right, No, no, no, I have it.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: I have it.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: Do you want to read that statu I sent you? Oh,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: Eddie sent me dak shocks that you didn't want to
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: talk about the CD.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 6: And oh yeah, yeah yeah.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: Basically I threw it away. What do you mean you
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: threw it away? I had a bunch of paper here
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: and I was it's basically.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: It's a comparison of Justin Jefferson and CD Lamb. You
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: want to read, it's right here, but I think the quarterback, sure,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of saved under his favorite.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: Everything's not the same, so okay, season's four four.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: I mean everything's not the same. Obviously they're playing different teams,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: different and different quarterbacks, different quarterbacks, different goals as a
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: team all pros.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Of the four, Justin Jefferson has one more.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: So what are the numbers?
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: But hold on, so I would say Justin Jeffersons has
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: thirty three percent more All pros than C. D. Lamb
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty significent number. What's an All Pro Pro Bowls?
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 7: Three?
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: Easy to get the Pro Bowl? Almost got voted to
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. Catches are basically the same, Well stop
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: with the basically the same. There are three catches apart.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: It's not even one person who's on top. Ceedee Lamb
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: has three ninety five. Just Jefferson has three ninety two.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: No, but here's my point point, CD No, with three
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: less catches, Justin Jefferson has over seven hundred more yards.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: But you don't understand those situations. You don't know, you
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: don't know, you don't know. If they were Hill Mary's.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: You know what, they were probably down. Justin Jefferson sucks
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: and Ceede Lamb's the best.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: How many touchdowns did you see that? Justin Jefferson thirty
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: one touchdowns in four seasons.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 5: But I will say, Eddie, I'm sorry, Justin Jefferson missed
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 5: almost half of the season last year.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Well that's that's it's on him. Hey, what do you
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: You're holding tight with it?
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll send that to you, and.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: They should pay him a whole bunch because if they do,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: you know, they can't sign up the players.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't say that it's a cat. But whenever
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: you talk about the top receivers, I want you to
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: put some respects probably fourth phones you put Justin Jefferson
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: in either one or two. Yes, you need to put
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: CD in there either two, no four.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: I put him at four. You're crazy because one and
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: one A to me is Justin Jefson and Jamar Chase
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: and Tyreek Hill is two. But that would be three.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: But Tyreek kills three c Lam four. I don't I
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: feel like it's a pretty good spot to be.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say, nowadays, a beer receiver top five,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 5: that's pretty dang good.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, congratu.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: Rogers had a top five receiver.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, like number seven overall in the NBA. All
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: of us come on.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: That means Ford is the top three.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: Not after one game there, Kevin? What you got?
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 4: I got some personal news.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: Actually he's pregnant. Oh yes, what do you have? I
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: don't know the news.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 5: It broke some news to Eddie not too long ago,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: and apparently he got mad at me because I didn't
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: tell myself.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: He had to find out from somebody else.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: What's the news?
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: The news is? I am in a relationship.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: Have we already done this once? No, you haven't the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: last time he had a girlfriend?
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: When you did that?
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Right? Did we did this last time you had a girlfriend?
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: I think he might have just asked me about it,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: and I don't think so.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: Bones Okay, I don't know.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: It's not that shocking because one, you're a pretty good dude,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: normal dude, and you already had a girlfriend at one point,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: So I guess I'm not that shocked.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: This is a serious one.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: It is serious girlfriend.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: It's the same girl.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: What as before?
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm back with the same girl.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: Wait, that's.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now we've twisted.

  Speaker 4: Yes, okay, so that's a twist on it.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you sait this with a.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 5: Dead people and I'm that sixth sense and I'm back
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 5: with her and things could not be any better. And yeah,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 5: like I just said, it's a very serious one. How
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 5: did you guys get back together?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: It was me.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 5: Took about a year off. We didn't even talk for
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 5: a year. I did a lot of work on myself.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 5: Therapy actually is probably the biggest thing I could put
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 5: that too. Did a lot of work on myself.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't with Eddie, right, Yeah, we would meet
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: once a week.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 5: Completely different person, much more intentional now with my feelings
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 5: and with her and things cannot be.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: It's good man, that's awesome. Yea, I was not expecting this.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: It was the same girl though.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I mean I liked her. She
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: used to come to our basketball games when Kevin was
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: an assistant coach for my ten year old son.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised she took you back.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: I am too, thank god.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: Mostly but more dudes, and we do dumb. Yes, it's
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: hard to like usually somebody else scoops them up.
