0:27
Speaker 1: a candidate, hot take. I got a candidate for our
0:33
Speaker 1: superhero the day presentable call Current dot com. And this
0:37
Speaker 1: one has just made me think about it and it
0:39
Speaker 1: could be like a standard because he's one of my
0:41
Speaker 1: favorite people to watch and listen to. H But it's
0:45
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley. Yes, yes, thank you. I know, I know
0:50
Speaker 1: what's happening. You know what's happening. But Barkley was on
0:53
Speaker 1: a radio program and I think it was in Philly yesterday.
0:57
Speaker 1: That sounds right, Yes, I think so. And it's like
1:00
Speaker 1: he turned down an invite to the wedding of the Millennium.
1:07
Speaker 1: Travis and Taylor's wedding at Madison Square Garden. He has
1:10
Speaker 1: to be one of the few people at RSVP and
1:13
Speaker 1: say thanks, no, thanks, sorry, man, I can't make it
1:15
Speaker 1: like we don't know what the rift was or whether
1:17
Speaker 1: Blake Lively and Ryan Reilds were invited or not, but
1:19
Speaker 1: they didn't go. Oh okay, there's some waxy build up there,
1:23
Speaker 1: but this is one that you know. Luis Lara Lara,
1:27
Speaker 1: sorry and can get behind. Charles Barkley said he did
1:32
Speaker 1: not go. He declined an invitation, he was invited. It
1:36
Speaker 1: did not go. Was quote, I don't go to weddings
1:41
Speaker 1: or funerals, but I did get an invite, and I
1:45
Speaker 1: politely declined because I thought it was going to be
1:47
Speaker 1: a crap show. I love Travis and Jason. I've only
1:50
Speaker 1: met Taylor one time. But yeah, I did get an invite,
1:54
Speaker 1: but I just said, that's just too much. I just
1:56
Speaker 1: want to hang out and play golf and I don't
1:57
Speaker 1: want to dress up and all that other stuff. But
1:59
Speaker 1: I appreciate the invitation. It was pretty special.
2:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty relatable for a lot of people. You
2:05
Speaker 2: can't get much more relatable than that. Dam and just
2:07
Speaker 2: say I don't want to go. I don't want to
2:08
Speaker 2: get dressed up. I'm not going. I don't have to.
2:10
Speaker 1: I want to play golf. I don't go to weddings
2:14
Speaker 1: or funerals.
2:15
Speaker 3: And I love Travis might be the best tied end
2:19
Speaker 3: in the NFL and one of the best guy in
2:21
Speaker 3: the history. I love him and his brother Jason are tremendous.
2:24
Speaker 1: But I'm just not going to do that. I just
2:26
Speaker 1: love Chuck's blunt house.
2:27
Speaker 2: No thanks, I got stuff to do, and he has
2:30
Speaker 2: to have no desire for the social part of it.
2:32
Speaker 2: That yeah, he doesn't care, that's correct, but that but
2:34
Speaker 2: people love that, you know, to league.
2:36
Speaker 1: I respect it. It's part of it. Though that allegedly
2:39
Speaker 1: the invitations came with an NDA, like you had to
2:42
Speaker 1: sign the NDA to accept the invitation. He had to
2:45
Speaker 1: sign a non disclosure agreement and agree no cell phones
2:48
Speaker 1: and all that.
2:48
Speaker 2: I really don't think that would bother him because he's
2:50
Speaker 2: not doing it for the social chemist. I agree if
2:52
Speaker 2: he went it because he really just wanted to go,
2:54
Speaker 2: I guess, or was willing to go and and and
2:57
Speaker 2: witness it because he.
2:59
Speaker 1: Doesn't do social media anyway.
3:00
Speaker 3: Or Chuck might have accidentally said something to your point
3:03
Speaker 3: he might have seen that and said, you know what,
3:05
Speaker 3: I might just accidentally talk about this, and I don't
3:07
Speaker 3: want to get in trouble. I mean, I just think
3:10
Speaker 3: there's some of Barkley has such a beautiful ability to
3:14
Speaker 3: say I'm too good for this, Like he says it
3:18
Speaker 3: every time he's on with DP after our show, He's like,
3:21
Speaker 3: they want me to work seven more years, I'm gonna
3:24
Speaker 3: do two. I'm trying anything I can to get fired,
3:26
Speaker 3: Like Chuck, we can find a couple of ways for
3:28
Speaker 3: you to get fired, Like I'll help you out.
3:29
Speaker 1: We'll find a couple of places for your worry and
3:31
Speaker 1: definitely get fired.
3:32
Speaker 3: But like you sit there and wonder, I'm like, man,
3:35
Speaker 3: nobody has reached his status like him. Where the first
3:40
Speaker 3: career he had was so great, he's so good at
3:44
Speaker 3: the next one that you completely almost forget and it
3:47
Speaker 3: almost gets belittled how good of a basketball player he was,
3:50
Speaker 3: because he's so good on a microphone.
3:52
Speaker 1: And to be so universally liked respect when you think
3:54
Speaker 1: of the ultimate wedding guests though, like Bill Murray, Will Ferrell.
3:59
Speaker 2: Funny Guy, Rightop Snoop Well Sandler officiated or Sandler, Yeah,
4:04
Speaker 2: he married him married.
4:06
Speaker 1: But if you could have like any gathering that you
4:09
Speaker 1: could have where you have Charles and Shack, oh God,
4:12
Speaker 1: would have been amazing, next level like Shaq. I want
4:14
Speaker 1: Shack to be the DJ, and I want Charles to
4:16
Speaker 1: be there just making fun of Shock. Yes, And I
4:18
Speaker 1: want to.
4:18
Speaker 3: Sit next to Chuck at the bar, listening and making
4:20
Speaker 3: puns like in a room full of celebrities and people
4:24
Speaker 3: to be seen.
4:25
Speaker 2: People will be congregating to that table just to just
4:28
Speaker 2: to hear those two go back and forth out.
4:29
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what's great about it, you know, Like
4:31
Speaker 1: the superheroes are on the side of the Van Current Electric.
4:34
Speaker 1: They do such good work around the Milwaukee area if
4:37
Speaker 1: you need any thing in the realm of electric work.
4:40
Speaker 1: I still got to get them to stately Olsen Manner
4:42
Speaker 1: to fix the ceiling fan that doesn't work without the
4:44
Speaker 1: light on. That's about as frustrating a thin fan. I'm
4:46
Speaker 1: not a big fan of ceiling fans puniton and I
4:49
Speaker 1: don't really like them, but they were there and I'm
4:51
Speaker 1: not ripping it down. But I have one in the
4:55
Speaker 1: boudoir that only works when the light is on, which
4:58
Speaker 1: at night you don't want the light on.
5:00
Speaker 3: But you sure want a little bit of the rotation,
5:01
Speaker 3: get that air, go and get that breeze rolling.
5:03
Speaker 1: So I gotta figure out I'm not skilled enough when
5:06
Speaker 1: it comes to you know, no enough breakers and doing
5:09
Speaker 1: any of that work professionals. Yeah, well, and I have to.
5:13
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get them out to check out on
5:15
Speaker 3: these solar panels because I get a lot of sun
5:17
Speaker 3: and uh that if there's any way that you're eliminating
5:20
Speaker 3: some kind of a bill, that's gonna be.
5:22
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the move. You'll get tax credits. You
5:24
Speaker 1: get a huge tax credit for it.
5:25
Speaker 3: And their custom solar panels can sometimes almost eliminate your
5:29
Speaker 3: monthly electrical bill. So call Current dot com, get on
5:31
Speaker 3: that wait list and go and have them check out.
5:33
Speaker 3: Let them tell you what you can do. Great idea,
5:35
Speaker 3: all right, So back to the hot takes that we
5:37
Speaker 3: want eight seven seven seven nine seven three. This is
5:40
Speaker 3: one that hit me like a two by four between
5:43
Speaker 3: the eyes. My eyes are water and I'm I'm fun
5:46
Speaker 3: rocking back a little bit, icking back a little bit.
5:48
Speaker 1: Hot take. The national pastime is bitching and moaning. Said
5:52
Speaker 1: that for a long time, complaining on social media, but
5:55
Speaker 1: everything like people complaining about stuff with the Brewers, even
5:58
Speaker 1: though there were gushing about how great things are going
6:00
Speaker 1: for the Birds, the All Star Game and the festivities
6:05
Speaker 1: our next weekend. And it's going to be jarring to
6:08
Speaker 1: people because I just realized, maybe I was aware of this,
6:11
Speaker 1: maybe I just remembered. The Home Run Derby this year
6:14
Speaker 1: is on Netflix. How about that? How many people major
6:18
Speaker 1: Baseball Home Runs Derby is on neticular broadcast? So taking
6:21
Speaker 1: his shirt off to start the festivities. So for the
6:24
Speaker 1: first time, this is the first time since like what
6:28
Speaker 1: the nineties, like you had to be well, yeah, I
6:30
Speaker 1: mean my entire life had been back back back back
6:33
Speaker 1: back back back back back back back back nineteen ninety four,
6:36
Speaker 1: ninety four, so my whole life. Yes, yep, the first
6:38
Speaker 1: time ESPN won't carry the event the Home Run Derby
6:41
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety four. It airs on Netflix next Monday.
6:47
Speaker 1: And what I saw shocked me. It's awful announcing the
6:52
Speaker 1: website that we go to some stuff. But but what's
6:54
Speaker 1: awful announcing is this is going to be awful. One
6:56
Speaker 1: of the guys it's going to be awful. It's at
6:58
Speaker 1: Citizens Bank Park, and one of the guys involve the coverage. Well,
7:01
Speaker 1: it's like everything's self promotional. ESPN used it too. Mm hmm.
7:05
Speaker 1: Well there's a podcast on Netflix is showing podcasts now,
7:08
Speaker 1: they're big into the podcast game, yes, and Bill Simmons,
7:11
Speaker 1: one of their podcasters is The White House with Michael Irvin.
7:16
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin's going to be involved on the field with
7:18
Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby.
7:19
Speaker 2: We're living in a simulation or some sort of just
7:23
Speaker 2: parody of a real life why because he and Brandon
7:26
Speaker 2: Marshall have a podcast on It was the first, Uh,
7:30
Speaker 2: it was like the first original sports podcast on the
7:32
Speaker 2: platform on Netflix.
7:34
Speaker 1: So Michael Irvin's going to be involved with the Home
7:37
Speaker 1: Run Derby. Now.
7:40
Speaker 3: I loved watching Mike during the run for the Miami Hurricanes.
7:45
Speaker 3: So if it's anything like the content I got of
7:47
Speaker 3: him going belt to ass on the trash can, yeah,
7:51
Speaker 3: I don't know where that fits in the Home Run Derby,
7:52
Speaker 3: but I'm interested to see how they're trying it.
7:54
Speaker 1: As weird as it's going to be to have to
7:56
Speaker 1: navigate over to Netflix and like where's the Home Run Derby?
7:59
Speaker 1: This is going to be weird, Yes, but the Home
8:02
Speaker 1: Run Derby is on Netflix. Now there's a saving grace
8:06
Speaker 1: for us because you know, you got tired and people ripped.
8:09
Speaker 1: Chris Berman and the announcers are a key part of
8:10
Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby because there's a lot of downtime
8:13
Speaker 1: and it's not that great a TV event. It's like
8:15
Speaker 1: you can and it's hard. Yes, it's it wasn't actually
8:19
Speaker 1: aired live until ninety three. It's not great. It's not
8:21
Speaker 1: great in person, and I believe. But the saving grace
8:26
Speaker 1: for us is if you navigate over to Netflix, they've
8:28
Speaker 1: got like two tiers. They have a two set format cursion.
8:34
Speaker 1: It is calling the Swings Past Cursion. It is gonna
8:38
Speaker 1: be Now, think about that if you grew up watching
8:40
Speaker 1: him on Brewers broc Say Maddie v on The Homer
8:43
Speaker 1: Derby alongside Hunter Pence and Anthony Rizzo. Now they'll have
8:46
Speaker 1: a second set with l Duncan, Barry Bonds and Albert Pools.
8:50
Speaker 1: That's some Netflix money to get Barry Bonds off his couch.
8:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, no kidding, Barry h is doing something to do it.
8:57
Speaker 3: He's getting paid. So this is and this is now
9:00
Speaker 3: the second time because Barry was on the opening night,
9:03
Speaker 3: but that was in San Francisco, so I thought that
9:05
Speaker 3: was a one off. I thought that was an easy
9:07
Speaker 3: new dropping the bucket. Okay, they're painting then.
9:09
Speaker 1: Elle Duncan has said that the network Netflix wants to
9:12
Speaker 1: stay familiar to fans while doing something very different. Well,
9:17
Speaker 1: having Michael Irvin out on baseball field talking to people,
9:19
Speaker 1: it's very different.
9:20
Speaker 2: That's very different. And congratulations if you suffer through that.
9:24
Speaker 1: The irony is not lost though, because Michael Irvan it's
9:27
Speaker 1: in Citizens Bank Park. He is not a popular figure
9:29
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. He said, I'm so looking forward to going out,
9:31
Speaker 1: being around and showcasing Home Run Derby for Netflix and
9:34
Speaker 1: interviewing guys to bring them on My White House Show
9:36
Speaker 1: and everything. I know. It's in Philadelphia, so I've got
9:39
Speaker 1: to walk amongst them. Geez, but I'm willing. I'm willing
9:42
Speaker 1: let them know I come in peace in Philadelphia. We're
9:45
Speaker 1: losing recipes. They are gonna boo him from the if
9:48
Speaker 1: they ever show him on the scoreboard, hard, mercilessly.
9:52
Speaker 2: I'll say this, as frustrating as it is for everything
9:54
Speaker 2: going in streaming, and I've talked about it, at least
9:57
Speaker 2: being on Netflix, most people have that like that's the
9:59
Speaker 2: one streaming ser the majority people have, you know.
10:02
Speaker 1: That's true. Probably, Yeah, that's fair.
10:04
Speaker 2: Somewhat more accessible in that regard, but it is still weird.
10:08
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be on there. So Michael Irvin's
10:11
Speaker 1: podcast with Brand Marsha's called the White House, which is
10:13
Speaker 1: a reference to the party house where all the sex
10:15
Speaker 1: and drugs went on during the Cowboys dynasty, right by
10:18
Speaker 1: their practice facility. They had a house that was a
10:20
Speaker 1: flophouse where they're just the frat house where they all
10:23
Speaker 1: you know, the stories of that are a legendary. The
10:25
Speaker 1: fact that he leads into that and named his podcast
10:27
Speaker 1: ever it it kind of makes me chuckle. It's so funny.
10:30
Speaker 3: Well, and also that this is so it's with Brandon Marshall,
10:33
Speaker 3: who also I mean he's run through like five or
10:35
Speaker 3: six different podcast groups that he's went with. Yeah, the
10:38
Speaker 3: the thing is there's about fifteen different Philadelphia guys that
10:41
Speaker 3: they could have called before Michael Irvin.
10:43
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. And then Michael Irvin did say
10:47
Speaker 1: of his relationship with Netflix, it's really been a beautiful union.
10:52
Speaker 1: It's amazing because Netflix has such a great relationship with
10:55
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. It really works out because of all
10:58
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, with the Dallas, Cowboy, America's Game or
11:01
Speaker 1: whatever the America's Team documentary they did. They got land Man. No,
11:05
Speaker 1: that's a paramount plus right. Yeah. Yeah. Netflix is also
11:09
Speaker 1: removing the swing clock for the first time since twenty fourteen,
11:12
Speaker 1: moving to a fixed allotment of twenty swings in the
11:14
Speaker 1: first round fifteen each round. After hitters are allowed to
11:17
Speaker 1: keep swinging past their limit if they homer on the
11:19
Speaker 1: final cut of a round. Ye already keep the trackular
11:21
Speaker 1: rule changes in that. Yeah, and that that's the thing.
11:24
Speaker 3: I mean the home run derby, it could have dragged,
11:26
Speaker 3: and you're right, it probably wasn't, as I've never been there,
11:29
Speaker 3: but I can assume it's a it's a not as
11:32
Speaker 3: much of an exhilarating watch when you don't have the
11:35
Speaker 3: audio behind it and you're sitting in you know, section
11:38
Speaker 3: three ten, it can be a little bit tougher of it.
11:41
Speaker 1: But why can't we just.
11:42
Speaker 3: Do ten ounce, just do it regular? Why can't we
11:44
Speaker 3: just do it how they used to do the home
11:46
Speaker 3: run derby? Swing the bat. Let's watch this ball go
11:50
Speaker 3: four hundred and twenty feet, four hundred and eighty feet,
11:54
Speaker 3: and then they throw the next one like the clock
11:57
Speaker 3: was so dumb because you couldn't even see the ball.
11:59
Speaker 1: You had split screens.
12:00
Speaker 3: And I couldn't figure out what ball was landing, football
12:02
Speaker 3: was getting hit.
12:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm glad they got rid of That.
12:07
Speaker 2: Was the best iteration. People understood it. It seemed to
12:09
Speaker 2: be the best. Although we're why did they change it?
12:12
Speaker 2: Were guys taking too many pitches At the time it
12:13
Speaker 2: was taken long. I can't remember there was a reason
12:16
Speaker 2: they wanted to change it. But let's go back to
12:17
Speaker 2: it will ability. And here's the thing about Netflix though.
12:20
Speaker 1: When you watch Netflix, if you have a certain tier,
12:22
Speaker 1: you might think it would be ad free. They're going
12:24
Speaker 1: to have commercials on the home runner. Oh, they'll have
12:26
Speaker 1: commercials because it's a live event. They're going to need
12:29
Speaker 1: the breaks to pay for it, of course. Yeah. And
12:32
Speaker 1: so even on ad free tiers, there will be natural
12:35
Speaker 1: downtime between rounds and between at bats. They will have
12:38
Speaker 1: commercial breaks. Yeah, And wrestling fans got got that one.
12:42
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago.
12:43
Speaker 3: When Netflix jumped into the live sports weekly was when
12:46
Speaker 3: they bought Monday Night Raw, which at that point, say
12:50
Speaker 3: which one about it? The longest episonic television show continuously
12:54
Speaker 3: running in the World, and then it goes to Netflix
12:58
Speaker 3: and imediately like, wait, I'm paying the twenty one dollars
13:02
Speaker 3: a month. I thought I was ad free. You know,
13:03
Speaker 3: you still get three and a half minutes of trying
13:05
Speaker 3: to figure out what other shows on Netflix you can
13:08
Speaker 3: watch it. It's definitely no longer the same streaming service
13:12
Speaker 3: that you remember from ten years ago.
13:13
Speaker 1: ESPN took this thing and there was a time when
13:16
Speaker 1: that was the highest rated thing. The home run deervery
13:18
Speaker 1: got better ratings in the game wasn't live. It wasn't
13:20
Speaker 1: live Telecastle ninety eight, it was tape delayed. It was
13:23
Speaker 1: always my fit this in the Legends softball game, Yeah,
13:27
Speaker 1: was always those are my two favorite things. One of
13:30
Speaker 1: the things to consider was like, if you go back
13:31
Speaker 1: to last year, and I gotta admit, I haven't watched
13:34
Speaker 1: a whole home run derby in a long time. I
13:36
Speaker 1: haven't watched. I haven't consumed it. But last year ESPN
13:40
Speaker 1: and their Farewell to the home run Derby, they were
13:42
Speaker 1: crushed by critics and just social media and stuff because
13:45
Speaker 1: they were they they weren't following the ball no as much,
13:51
Speaker 1: and they were split splitting screen showing the pitcher and
13:53
Speaker 1: the hitter h and they weren't tracking the ball the
13:57
Speaker 1: trajectory of the majestic hits. Yeah, you wouldn't see how
14:00
Speaker 1: cool it was to watch the guy hit the ball.
14:02
Speaker 1: That fam made all these like weird camera cuts, and
14:04
Speaker 1: it was like they were like, who's directing this? What
14:06
Speaker 1: is going on? It was a It was brutal. And
14:09
Speaker 1: now Netflix is stepping in to try to say this
14:11
Speaker 1: is how we're going to do it. And it's a
14:14
Speaker 1: three year, one hundred and fifty million dollar deal.
14:17
Speaker 3: So Netflix has that's for the their whole MLB package.
14:21
Speaker 1: Correct, yes, and fifty mili.
14:24
Speaker 3: And they bought a part of the ESPN package because
14:27
Speaker 3: ESPN had such a massive MLB television package, television rights package.
14:31
Speaker 3: And again this is kind of reading in between the
14:34
Speaker 3: lines and reading too many insider stories of it. They
14:37
Speaker 3: sold the Roku Sunday Morning Game for such a low
14:41
Speaker 3: number of Espns, Like, wait, we're paying five hundred and
14:43
Speaker 3: fifty million for our package.
14:44
Speaker 1: We're going to actually back that down.
14:46
Speaker 3: We're gonna pull that completely all we're gonna opt out
14:49
Speaker 3: and you can go find another spots for it. And
14:51
Speaker 3: they've broken pieces of it off. But Netflix doesn't want
14:54
Speaker 3: like they don't want to just air games. They want
14:57
Speaker 3: to have pen pole events. They wanted opening, they wanted discs.
15:01
Speaker 1: And then they got to feel the Dreams game. Okay,
15:03
Speaker 1: I was wondering what else they had because they had
15:05
Speaker 1: to have something else. Philly's Twins in Iowa August thirteenth,
15:09
Speaker 1: which I guess maybe it is that that draw. This
15:11
Speaker 1: one I think will be their biggest one.
15:13
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what Maddy does because Drew, I
15:16
Speaker 3: am telling you, it was a it was a painstaking
15:19
Speaker 3: television eventse the last couple of years because you just
15:23
Speaker 3: could not enjoy. Why you watched the home run Derby.
15:27
Speaker 3: You watched the home run Derby to see James Wood
15:30
Speaker 3: hit the absolute out of the ball, to watch to
15:33
Speaker 3: watch Bryce Harper hit one into the third deck, and
15:36
Speaker 3: I think follow it.
15:37
Speaker 1: I think it'll be better without the clock, like they
15:39
Speaker 1: put the clock in like ten years ago, twelve years ago,
15:41
Speaker 1: something like that. And the swings, like to get swings,
15:45
Speaker 1: swing swing, swing, swing. That tired guys out and it
15:47
Speaker 1: detracted from the derby. Right guys pitches to rest up. Well,
15:52
Speaker 1: Now you get twenty swings in the first round, fifteen
15:54
Speaker 1: swings after after that and if you hit one out
15:58
Speaker 1: on your last swing, you get another swing another one. Oh,
16:00
Speaker 1: so that can help like bonus time. Sure. And then
16:05
Speaker 1: if there's a tie in the first round, they go
16:08
Speaker 1: to who hit the longest home run? And you advance
16:10
Speaker 1: if you hit the longest home run? Okay in the
16:12
Speaker 1: stat cast ero when we can do that, yeah, Like,
16:16
Speaker 1: and in third rounds if there's a tie, you have
16:19
Speaker 1: a three swing playoff. Good, Okay, you gotta have that
16:21
Speaker 1: point the drama if there's a swing off, so but
16:24
Speaker 1: not after the first round. First round it goes by distance.
16:27
Speaker 1: So that's kind of cool. And so they fan of that. Yes,
16:29
Speaker 1: they sought input from like, from players and from like
16:32
Speaker 1: their viewers too.
16:33
Speaker 3: Well.
16:33
Speaker 1: What they should have done is because last year it
16:35
Speaker 1: became a debacle and it wasn't just perman, but it's
16:38
Speaker 1: lost juice over the years. Maybe Netflix can put some
16:41
Speaker 1: the paddles to it. And you know, we love Maddy V.
16:43
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Maddy V is gonna be fun
16:45
Speaker 3: and Maddy V is just a you know, and as
16:47
Speaker 3: much as I want to dislike Anthony Rizzo, I really
16:50
Speaker 3: like him into talking into a microphone, like I've I've
16:53
Speaker 3: tapped in on more of those Cubs ten year anniversary
16:58
Speaker 3: podcast that I care to admit, and he's been he's entertaining,
17:01
Speaker 3: so I think that'll be a fun, fun call of it.
17:03
Speaker 3: Who they should consult is the ten to twelve year
17:07
Speaker 3: olds playing over at a baseball park in the middle
17:11
Speaker 3: of a summer afternoon. Hey, how are you guys playing
17:13
Speaker 3: Homer in derby? Because lord knows, they're not putting a
17:15
Speaker 3: timer up on somebody's phone saying we're seeing how many
17:18
Speaker 3: ones we can hit over the fence in two minutes.
17:20
Speaker 2: And those are the kids that's have mastered it. I mean,
17:22
Speaker 2: the kids have mastered homework.
17:24
Speaker 3: That's also who it's for, right, Like, I mean, it's
17:26
Speaker 3: it's you're watching this to get young As much as
17:30
Speaker 3: you're desperately talking about wanting to get young people into
17:33
Speaker 3: the game and wanting more young kids watching and enjoying baseball,
17:37
Speaker 3: this is the easiest way to grab and sink your
17:42
Speaker 3: teeth into someone's fandom.
17:43
Speaker 1: You're at that age just watching the ball go as
17:45
Speaker 1: far as possible.
17:46
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, Billy, and that would be good thinking,
17:48
Speaker 2: But it's probably hard to sell the advertisers to say, well,
17:50
Speaker 2: we're trying to go after ten year olds like, well,
17:51
Speaker 2: they don't have money, but you're absolutely right if they,
17:54
Speaker 2: if they thought ahead of it should be.
17:56
Speaker 1: Like that's fair.
17:56
Speaker 3: You can't probably can only have so many Wonderball commercials.
18:00
Speaker 2: But really, but the smart ones new that you were
18:04
Speaker 2: marketing to kids to get them to spend their parents'
18:06
Speaker 2: money back.
18:06
Speaker 1: Yes, so that's absolutely what it should be.
18:09
Speaker 2: And when you were a kid, home run derby was
18:10
Speaker 2: fun because it was a great novelty. Like you said,
18:13
Speaker 2: we played that all the time in the front yard.
18:16
Speaker 2: We do whipple ball home run derby my friends. Then
18:18
Speaker 2: I would do that all the time that too. It's
18:20
Speaker 2: for as I've grown older, I've been lesson into the
18:22
Speaker 2: home run now. Also, it's also probably because in my
18:26
Speaker 2: mind we're in more of a launch angle era where
18:28
Speaker 2: home runs are like it's just process and not novelty
18:32
Speaker 2: and excitement as much as it used to be.
18:34
Speaker 1: I don't know.
18:34
Speaker 2: I think people would still like to see it if
18:36
Speaker 2: it was the way they remember it, you know, being
18:39
Speaker 2: ten outs growing up and a good TV production.
18:42
Speaker 1: So we'll still never forget watching Josh Hamilton just crazy
18:46
Speaker 1: launch balls into the That was the New York Sky
18:49
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken at whole Yankee Stadium. I remember
18:52
Speaker 1: twenty six in a round or something.
18:54
Speaker 2: I remember when Prince, I remember when I when Sosa
18:56
Speaker 2: got into them here in Milwaukee.
18:58
Speaker 1: If Prince wanted at Push Stadium, right, I think so,
19:01
Speaker 1: yes he did. What was there that was?
19:03
Speaker 2: It was exciting to have I remember how exciting was that.
19:05
Speaker 2: Richie Sex and the Home Run Derby were like Burns
19:07
Speaker 2: is in this whole guy. And again they have major
19:10
Speaker 2: league players hitting right, like I mean Monday night MLB
19:14
Speaker 2: All Star Game or Saturday night NBA All Star Game.
19:17
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, that's right. You actually see the players you
19:21
Speaker 1: want to watch somewhat in the Home Run Derby. So
19:23
Speaker 1: it's like they're not going to have Andrew Fisher play
19:25
Speaker 1: Mac mcclun.
19:28
Speaker 3: I hope, right, like Pasus my Day is going to
19:31
Speaker 3: come in and hitting the home runner because they didn't
19:33
Speaker 3: get enough bodies.
19:34
Speaker 1: All right, Well, then the future of sports like rit large,
19:37
Speaker 1: Netflix has the Home Run Derby. Wrap your brain around that.
19:39
Speaker 1: You're gonna be tuning into Netflix if you want to
19:41
Speaker 1: want to watch the Home Run Derby in the twenty twenty,
19:44
Speaker 1: twenty thirty, and twenty thirty four the World Cup rights
19:47
Speaker 1: are gonna They're gonna be open forbid, and reports are
19:50
Speaker 1: that Netflix, YouTube and Disney. That's it. It's all pining
19:53
Speaker 1: to get their hands on the World Cup.
19:55
Speaker 2: Because the stream the streaming services are a new a
19:58
Speaker 2: new market now the sports to try and make.
20:00
Speaker 1: And that's the that's the network into the abyss and
20:05
Speaker 1: here come the streamers.
20:06
Speaker 3: And the tough thing is I'd give a tip of
20:08
Speaker 3: the hat to Fox.
20:10
Speaker 1: I think their production value of this of the World
20:13
Speaker 1: has been really really good and good but one of
20:15
Speaker 1: the more enjoyable things to watch, really good. And the
20:18
Speaker 1: game you have so many goals in extra time amazing.
20:22
Speaker 2: There's a little you want a little media history about
20:24
Speaker 2: the home run derby, This is kind of fun. It
20:26
Speaker 2: was first nationally televised by ESPN ninety three on the
20:29
Speaker 2: same day in the laid basis. But in nineteen ninety eight,
20:31
Speaker 2: the day before the MLB All Star Game from Cincinnati,
20:34
Speaker 2: TBS televised the annual All Star Gala from the Cincinnati Zoo,
20:37
Speaker 2: with Larry King hosting the broadcast and Craig Sager and
20:41
Speaker 2: Pete man Weird handling interviews. The big draw would have
20:44
Speaker 2: been the home run Derby, which TBS intending on taping
20:46
Speaker 2: during the afternoon and later airing in primetime. But the
20:49
Speaker 2: Derby had a skills competition where candle due to rain,
20:52
Speaker 2: so it would have been Larry King.
20:55
Speaker 1: I was that the was that the year? I'm trying
20:59
Speaker 1: to think what year was the Jim Gray interview with
21:01
Speaker 1: Pete Rose.
21:02
Speaker 2: That would have been later than that. That was sometime
21:03
Speaker 2: in the nineties. Well, because that was NBC, wasn't it,
21:07
Speaker 2: and it must have been it.
21:08
Speaker 3: It was Jim Gray, am I nineteen ninety nine, the
21:10
Speaker 3: All Century Team ninety nine at Turner Field.
21:13
Speaker 1: So that was Atlanta so poor.
21:14
Speaker 2: I'm surpriseder bombarding me like this, Jim love it another
21:17
Speaker 2: Jim Gray classic, another classic.

21:37
Speaker 2: Pete.
21:37
Speaker 4: Let me ask you now, it seems as though that
21:39
Speaker 4: there isn't opening. The American public is very forgiving. Are
21:42
Speaker 4: you willing to show contrition, admit that you bet on baseball,
21:46
Speaker 4: and make some sort of an apology to that effective.
21:48
Speaker 5: No, no, Jim, not at all. I'm not going to
21:51
Speaker 5: mention something that happened. I know you get tired to
21:53
Speaker 5: hear me say that.
21:54
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the ovation.
21:56
Speaker 5: I appreciate the American fans voting me on that All
21:59
Speaker 5: Century team.
21:59
Speaker 1: And I'm just a small part of a big deal
22:02
Speaker 1: tonight with.
22:02
Speaker 4: The overwhelming evidence. No, it isn't that report. Why not
22:06
Speaker 4: make that step with this so I have a.
22:07
Speaker 1: Festive night to worry about that.
22:08
Speaker 5: I mean, you go, I don't know what evidents you're
22:10
Speaker 5: talking about.
22:11
Speaker 1: I mean, just show it to.
22:12
Speaker 4: Me that report did.
22:14
Speaker 1: But we don't want it to make that Pete, well.
22:16
Speaker 5: Why not?
22:16
Speaker 1: Why don't we? Why do we want to believe everything?
22:18
Speaker 1: He says, Why don't we.
22:19
Speaker 4: Sign a paper acknowledging the band?
22:21
Speaker 1: Why did you sign it if.
22:22
Speaker 4: You didn't agree?
22:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it also says I can apply for restatement
22:26
Speaker 5: after one year because you remember correctly in a press
22:28
Speaker 5: commerce as a matter of fact, my statement was I
22:30
Speaker 5: came away from my little girl would be a year old,
22:32
Speaker 5: so I can applied for reinstatement at my press conference.
22:35
Speaker 5: So you forgot to add that clause that was in there.
22:38
Speaker 4: Well, you haven't reapplied for You have applied for reinstatement
22:41
Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety seven. Have you heard back from commissioner
22:43
Speaker 4: season No?
22:44
Speaker 5: And that kind of surprises me. It's only been two years, though,
22:47
Speaker 5: and he's got a lot of things on his mind.
22:48
Speaker 1: But I hope to someday, Pete.
22:52
Speaker 4: It's been ten years since you've been allowed on the field. Yeah,
22:55
Speaker 4: obviously the approach that you have taken has not worked.
22:57
Speaker 4: Why not at this point take a different approach?
23:00
Speaker 1: Well, well you said it hadn't worked. What do you
23:02
Speaker 1: exactly mean?
23:03
Speaker 4: You're not allowed in baseball, You're not allowed to arn
23:05
Speaker 4: a living in the game you love, and you're not
23:06
Speaker 4: allowed to.
23:06
Speaker 1: Be in the Hall of Fame? And well I should
23:08
Speaker 1: be her here. That was the fly for reinstatement, And.
23:12
Speaker 5: I hope but Yowick conshitters that he gives me an opportunity.
23:14
Speaker 1: I won't need a third chance. Pet Here is a
23:16
Speaker 1: second chance.
23:17
Speaker 4: Pete. Tell us who will hear this tonight, will say
23:19
Speaker 4: that you have been your own worst enemy and continue
23:21
Speaker 4: to be.
23:22
Speaker 1: How do you respond to that? And what way are
23:25
Speaker 1: you talking about.
23:26
Speaker 4: By not acknowledging what seemed to be over Oh my
23:28
Speaker 4: go it.
23:30
Speaker 1: You know, I'm surprised you your bombarding me like this.
23:33
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm doing an interview with you on a
23:35
Speaker 5: great night, a great occasion, a great ovation. Everybody seems
23:38
Speaker 5: to being a good mood, and you're bringing up something
23:41
Speaker 5: half ten years ago.
23:42
Speaker 4: I bringing up because I think people would like to
23:44
Speaker 4: see you get it on it he and we gotta go.
23:45
Speaker 5: We got a game. Secutor's brief, it's not an interview,
23:47
Speaker 5: and I'm very surprised at you.
23:49
Speaker 1: I am really well, some.
23:50
Speaker 4: Would be surprised that you didn't take the opportunity.
23:52
Speaker 1: Let's go upstairs. I haven't congratulates Jim Gray badgering Pete Rose.
23:58
Speaker 1: How much time Drew do you think the head of
24:00
Speaker 1: for that? And the defense attorney saying objection your honor objections? Awesome?
24:06
Speaker 2: I mean we're nervous, you know, we gotta let this
24:09
Speaker 2: thing keep going on. Anybody knew we got a game
24:11
Speaker 2: to do here for it. We got a game here now.
24:14
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look it up. I remember that moment,
24:16
Speaker 1: and I think I was at that was a turner field.
24:19
Speaker 1: I think I was at that All Star I don't
24:20
Speaker 1: remember nine World Series, so that was serious. Then I
24:24
Speaker 1: was okay, Then I was you definitely would have been there.
24:27
Speaker 1: You would have had to get a hat. Yes, I
24:29
Speaker 1: was there, so I was like, yeah, I mean I
24:30
Speaker 1: thought it was an All Star game, but it was. Well,
24:32
Speaker 1: that is so funny because because when you're in the PRESSPSS,
24:35
Speaker 1: you're not really watching the TV coverage, and then it's like, oh,
24:38
Speaker 1: what happened? And then we all had to go like scrambling.
24:40
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know, it probably wasn't as accessible as
24:42
Speaker 1: it would be that happened now, No, nothing was.
24:45
Speaker 3: Everybody in the press box would be showing each other five.
24:47
Speaker 1: Seconds like what did he say? Like what? And then
24:50
Speaker 1: a transcript was provided and like what and so everybody
24:53
Speaker 1: had to write about it. Oh my godness.
24:56
Speaker 2: I do wonder what Pete was thinking he was gonna get.
24:58
Speaker 2: Maybe he wasn't surprised, but it is Jim Gray and
25:01
Speaker 2: you you are Pete Rose, and you're gonna get questions
25:04
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, I'm not He wasn't there to
25:06
Speaker 2: do like a like a cream puff.
25:08
Speaker 3: He wasn't there to do a let's go podcast where
25:09
Speaker 3: he was gonna read an ad read right there in
25:11
Speaker 3: the first twenty six seconds.
25:13
Speaker 2: But I guess that's what Jim Gray was known for,
25:15
Speaker 2: and that's why people watched this. He was compelling. He
25:18
Speaker 2: got compelling interviews going. He went after guys, so we
25:21
Speaker 2: always do.
25:21
Speaker 1: They held him accountable to arm and held and I
25:23
Speaker 1: think that's one of the most important things. And I
25:26
Speaker 1: loved when there's some different parallels here, like some would
25:28
Speaker 1: be surprised that we bounced back with that, like Jim said,
25:31
Speaker 1: some would be surprised you didn't. You didn't take the
25:33
Speaker 1: opportunity here tonight.
25:34
Speaker 3: Williams very very good at being able to turn the
25:37
Speaker 3: tables on you and say, uh, yeah, you might be
25:39
Speaker 3: surprised that I'm doing this. People are surprised that you're
25:41
Speaker 3: questioning my questions here Dennis Rodman or Karl Malone after
25:46
Speaker 3: your an awful run, or was that Peter Vessi who
25:48
Speaker 3: asked Carl Malone, do you think you'll let your family down?
25:50
Speaker 2: Jim Gray was with Rodman. Peter Vessi asked himself his
25:55
Speaker 2: family in the city downs.
25:56
Speaker 1: You let yourself, your family and your city. It's just
26:00
Speaker 1: it's just compelling stuff. Man.
26:02
Speaker 2: I mean, and that's the interesting thing now with sports
26:05
Speaker 2: media is you will get you get a lot of
26:06
Speaker 2: podcasts and you get a lot of revealing discussions, but
26:10
Speaker 2: a lot of times they're not you know, really they're
26:12
Speaker 2: not doing the whole h Chris evert like try to
26:15
Speaker 2: rattle their cage thing.
26:16
Speaker 1: So so it's just fun to go back and we
26:18
Speaker 1: were talking about it. I couldn't help it. You couldn't
26:20
Speaker 1: help it. We might be more Chris, He's gonna be
26:22
Speaker 1: in more rabbit holes. That's why his algorithm is what
26:24
Speaker 1: it is.
26:24
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're gonna be here itself six tonight.
26:28
Speaker 3: Just watching different videos. I'll tell you what that.
26:31
Speaker 2: And man, I've been watching The Honest Interview with Jim Pashke,
26:33
Speaker 2: like this is my third, gonna be watching it for
26:35
Speaker 2: the third time and next time. I love watching that
26:38
Speaker 2: because uh it's it's really I really appreciate that interview.
26:41
Speaker 2: I know we haven't dove deep into it, but that's
26:44
Speaker 2: hold on you.
26:45
Speaker 1: You're gonna be on the third viewing.
26:46
Speaker 2: H I watched it twice already because I don't want
26:49
Speaker 2: to now. I appreciated that that a lot, and it
26:52
Speaker 2: really helped me. It really it's a little therapy for me,
26:55
Speaker 2: I think, to get through this. Honest thing that that
26:58
Speaker 2: he sat down to do a thirty six minute interview
27:00
Speaker 2: with the Jim Pashke. We don't get stuff like that.
27:02
Speaker 2: I really appreciate that he was. I think he was
27:05
Speaker 2: using Jim a lot of waste for his own therapist
27:08
Speaker 2: in his own ways. I thought that was an interesting thing.
27:10
Speaker 2: I know it's hard for us to get deep into
27:12
Speaker 2: it because of what we have three hours.
27:14
Speaker 3: Of a little but now, how much how many viewings
27:16
Speaker 3: are you expecting to have of this?
27:18
Speaker 2: I think I'll watch it one more time and then
27:20
Speaker 2: I'll probably refer back to it as time goes on.
27:22
Speaker 1: Drew, how many viewings do you think our boy arm
27:24
Speaker 1: and sorry is gonna have? The Jim Paske. Honesthetically, I
27:26
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be uh you know, in what time frame?
27:31
Speaker 1: I'm gonna a good point. That's a good one, because
27:33
Speaker 1: I'll give you until opening night.
27:36
Speaker 3: Uh so what October tenth or so, twelfth or so,
27:40
Speaker 3: it'll be in the high twenties.
27:41
Speaker 1: That's a long yeah.
27:43
Speaker 3: I was I would say we're absolutely getting double digits.
27:46
Speaker 3: I was gonna say mid teens. And I think You're
27:49
Speaker 3: probably right, because especially.
27:50
Speaker 1: If he's gonna pop up and he's gonna watch it,
27:52
Speaker 1: he won't watch it while the wall, but he'll watch
27:55
Speaker 1: pieces and cluses.
27:55
Speaker 3: You're right, it won't be in its entirety, but you'll
27:58
Speaker 3: definitely tap back that Malwimes.
28:00
Speaker 2: And not that I didn't do it enough, but it
28:02
Speaker 2: maybe appreciate Jim Pashking more. Like he was so wonderful
28:05
Speaker 2: doing that.
28:05
Speaker 1: He just did.
28:06
Speaker 3: He was really really, really articulating and great. He knew
28:09
Speaker 3: he would be and hot. Take Arman your spot. And
28:12
Speaker 3: we definitely don't get that kind of honesty. I don't
28:14
Speaker 3: believe we ever would get more of that blunt honesty
28:17
Speaker 3: from from an athlete that's not on their own podcast.
28:23
Speaker 1: Yeah.
28:23
Speaker 3: Right, Like while it was in a comfortable setting for him, right,
28:26
Speaker 3: it was in the Cousins Center, was sit down, he
28:27
Speaker 3: was with mister Jim. He chose that it was on
28:29
Speaker 3: his platform, on his YouTube page or whatever. I don't
28:33
Speaker 3: know that you'd get that outside of someone's podcast where
28:37
Speaker 3: they get the guys that sit around and kind of
28:39
Speaker 3: just gas him up. Right like that that's the thing
28:42
Speaker 3: where it was sure Jim is not going to ask
28:46
Speaker 3: anything really out of bounce, But I can't think the
28:48
Speaker 3: question about his dad wasn't a tough question to answer
28:51
Speaker 3: right right, like, and you're not seeing that kind of
28:54
Speaker 3: one in other different mediums right now today.
28:56
Speaker 2: And because they had that relationship in your honest respects,
28:59
Speaker 2: as he says, mister him so much, I think Jim
29:02
Speaker 2: knows he can ask it with the softness but appointedness,
29:05
Speaker 2: those type of questions like you're honest, you're gonna have
29:07
Speaker 2: to understand some uh some truths as well and maybe
29:10
Speaker 2: understand some other points of view.
29:12
Speaker 3: And he said, you're gonna have to understand those other viewpoints.
29:14
Speaker 3: That was that was rather tell you could tell it
29:16
Speaker 3: took him back a little bit, but I think he
29:18
Speaker 3: will and I definitely do think I think he wanted that.
29:21
Speaker 2: There's a reason, like you said, Billy, for instance, he
29:24
Speaker 2: didn't chose to do that on the analysis, you know,
29:26
Speaker 2: he didn't choose to go with Anasis and have the conversation,
29:29
Speaker 2: which I think would be pretty expected, you know, to
29:32
Speaker 2: be like what first, well for your brother, but he's like, no,
29:34
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this with with one of the great
29:37
Speaker 2: you know, veteran broadcasters and friends of his, you know guy,
29:41
Speaker 2: He respects guy that was there for his first you
29:44
Speaker 2: know a few moments in the league in America, Jim Pashki.
29:47
Speaker 1: So it was really good stuff. See you here.
29:50
Speaker 2: I did have another hot take if we have some
29:52
Speaker 2: time here. I thought something was interesting yesterday and it
29:57
Speaker 2: is just super random. It's about the aesthetics of sports
30:00
Speaker 2: uniform stuff like that.
30:01
Speaker 4: You know.
30:01
Speaker 2: I love that Bruce played double header yesterday and they
30:04
Speaker 2: wore the same uniform both games.
30:07
Speaker 1: Is that rare?
30:08
Speaker 2: For some reason, I always thought that you had the
30:10
Speaker 2: road uniform and you had the alternates. For this reason,
30:13
Speaker 2: I was a little surprised they wore the alternate navy
30:16
Speaker 2: blue for both games. You know, you had the road uniform,
30:19
Speaker 2: you have other alternates there, why not just put.
30:22
Speaker 1: A new one on.
30:23
Speaker 2: I'm assuming they have two sets of road uniforms. So
30:26
Speaker 2: it was like they kept the dirty the dirty clothes on.
30:28
Speaker 1: Well, didn't they have like the Independence Day uniforms and
30:32
Speaker 1: stuff on the on this trip too? Yeah, they would
30:34
Speaker 1: have had those.
30:35
Speaker 3: I think they had the baby blues too, like the
30:37
Speaker 3: Baby Blues without those.
30:39
Speaker 1: Tradition has it that the starting pitcher picks what jersey
30:42
Speaker 1: you wear on those days, right, So it's whatever they
30:45
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with. And I don't know, did Robert Gasser
30:47
Speaker 1: have a preference? Yeah, I wonder if that's still a thing.
30:52
Speaker 1: In a split double header, the uniforms be washed and
30:57
Speaker 1: you'll be fresh. Yeah. I was gonna say, it's not
30:59
Speaker 1: like you said, around and you're dirty. You don't go
31:01
Speaker 1: up to your first rolling through. Yeah, putting that right
31:04
Speaker 1: in the laundry in time, and they're oh, yeah, they're
31:06
Speaker 1: they're you And they have like these hyper speed washer dryers.
31:09
Speaker 1: Though they can flip billy you were in it. They'd
31:11
Speaker 1: have that cycle done in in an hour.
31:13
Speaker 3: It's not like it's not like the main it's not
31:15
Speaker 3: like your maytag at home. No, you're you're LG pointing
31:18
Speaker 3: through a fifty five minute wash cycle.
31:20
Speaker 1: Probably didn't have Now what happens there.
31:22
Speaker 2: I just always thought like, you're right, maybe because it's
31:24
Speaker 2: day night, not twin night. And in my memory the
31:26
Speaker 2: twinite doubleheader where they're getting going another.
31:29
Speaker 1: They have a time to wolf down a sandwich and
31:31
Speaker 1: then they're back out there. Yeah, so they might issue
31:33
Speaker 1: imagine you're were the alternates. Now there's some teams. Obviously
31:36
Speaker 1: you don't really wear alternate uniforms.
31:38
Speaker 3: I do wonder though, to your point, I was expecting
31:40
Speaker 3: them to be in something else. What does does Jason
31:44
Speaker 3: walk up to Gas and say, hey, man, what one
31:46
Speaker 3: do you want to wear in game?
31:47
Speaker 1: Tea? He says the Usually, yeah, it's like I don't
31:49
Speaker 1: know if it's a day of this might be day before, yeah,
31:51
Speaker 1: or some guys just always want to pitch, and like
31:53
Speaker 1: if they have now if you're pitching, if you're at
31:56
Speaker 1: home and it's Friday night and you're wearing the whisk gos, like,
31:58
Speaker 1: you don't really have a choice, right, But if generally
32:01
Speaker 1: it's the starter decides and yeah, I guess you have
32:05
Speaker 1: to kind of because the starter always arrives late. It
32:07
Speaker 1: has to be like the day before. Yeah, it was.
32:09
Speaker 1: They're laid out for the guys you know who arrive early,
32:13
Speaker 1: the starters. Usually that's a luxury of being a starting pitcher,
32:16
Speaker 1: is like you don't have to you can roll in
32:17
Speaker 1: like an hour before the game and get ready.
32:19
Speaker 3: And it would have been fun, though, to get a
32:21
Speaker 3: live reaction of Shakers response when when Gasser would tell him, like, hey,
32:25
Speaker 3: I want to wear those.
32:29
Speaker 2: All right?
32:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we got you.
32:30
Speaker 3: It'll be a tough turnaround, but I'll get it done.
32:32
Speaker 3: That's when you take on the challenge, and he always rises.
32:35
Speaker 2: And I would imagine they always travel with two of
32:37
Speaker 2: each as backup, right, So for any guy, yeah, Jersey
32:41
Speaker 2: gets ripped or something. So I didn't I saw that,
32:43
Speaker 2: and I thought it was kind of interesting that And
32:45
Speaker 2: that's kind of deep into the world of like sports
32:47
Speaker 2: equipment manager that I kind of a nerd out on
32:50
Speaker 2: all the time, like like how they have to arrange
32:52
Speaker 2: it and you know the old articles about how the
32:54
Speaker 2: the truck gets loaded for packer games and stuff like that,
32:57
Speaker 2: and that whole process, that red baddy stuff.
33:01
Speaker 1: Oh.
33:01
Speaker 2: I love stuff like that because it's just the stuff
33:03
Speaker 2: we don't think about it, we don't see that. I
33:04
Speaker 2: always find interesting that when you're actually in it is
33:07
Speaker 2: probably very mundane every day stuff. Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, Army,
33:12
Speaker 2: that's that's that's a good question. Stuff that we got
33:14
Speaker 2: asked all the time.
33:15
Speaker 1: People ask all the time, like how do they get
33:17
Speaker 1: the gear from one city to the next, And it's
33:19
Speaker 1: like it's a military operation. What they really do it
33:21
Speaker 1: the way they pack up with the wet bags and
33:22
Speaker 1: then they pack them in and then fly to the
33:25
Speaker 1: next place and then there's a team, you know, like
33:27
Speaker 1: Phil Rosswitz runs the visiting clubhouse waiting, there's a van
33:30
Speaker 1: that takes it and then they're they're washed and hung
33:32
Speaker 1: up and like you know, yeah, it's it's like clockwork
33:35
Speaker 1: for a reason. Those guys work overnight. Like if the
33:37
Speaker 1: team arrives at one a m. At Mitchell, then the
33:40
Speaker 1: van goes there and there's guys waiting at the ballpark
33:43
Speaker 1: to do laundry. The longest equipment days are generally the
33:45
Speaker 1: days off because then when that landing day for the
33:48
Speaker 1: arrival on the visiting they have, there's places for those
33:51
Speaker 1: guys to crash because sometimes they get everything done and
33:53
Speaker 1: hung up and then they crash, Like especially if there
33:55
Speaker 1: is a day game on the first day of a series,
33:58
Speaker 1: then there's guys showing up, right, Yeah, you're right.
34:01
Speaker 2: It's know like nowadays too, it's it's very different than
34:04
Speaker 2: like what was a time when players washed their own
34:06
Speaker 2: jerseys and had to travel with them.
34:07
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about taking a shower, which Johnny Mack
34:12
Speaker 1: talks about that all they did talked about how stinky
34:14
Speaker 1: will Will Chamberlain was right.
34:16
Speaker 2: But now it's it's branded marketing with the league and
34:19
Speaker 2: with the team sometimes, so it's like they'll put out
34:21
Speaker 2: on Twitter, this is the kid, this is the uniform,
34:23
Speaker 2: this kid with soccer, this is the you know, the
34:26
Speaker 2: look for the day before.
34:27
Speaker 1: It could be a fanatics thing.
34:28
Speaker 3: I think we should start adopting just calling every uniform
34:31
Speaker 3: a kit kid.
34:32
Speaker 1: I like that. I do. I do kind of like it.
34:35
Speaker 3: One one more hot take Troy Casper on the YouTube
34:37
Speaker 3: stream hayesus my day will win Futures game m v P.
34:42
Speaker 3: That's a hot take. That's also that's a prediction, but
34:44
Speaker 3: it's a hot hotchack.
34:46
Speaker 1: I like that. No, there's nothing wrong with that play.

36:09
Speaker 1: Awaken Big story today.
36:10
Speaker 3: So the ride with me here for a second, because
36:13
Speaker 3: it's not just an immediate there's not an immediate payoff, like,
36:16
Speaker 3: oh my god, that guy was doing.
36:17
Speaker 2: What.
36:18
Speaker 3: One show that I had very often enjoyed viewing, well
36:23
Speaker 3: potentially in vibing in some substances was Shark Tank because
36:27
Speaker 3: of the idea Drew that I had to be very
36:30
Speaker 3: baked to fathom having the kind of pocket book like
36:34
Speaker 3: mister Wonderful or Mark Cuban or Barbara who was also
36:39
Speaker 3: on there, Robert. I needed to be on a certain
36:42
Speaker 3: level to think that I was Damon Jones, that I
36:44
Speaker 3: was over and not the one playing poker.
36:46
Speaker 1: I got you, not Damon Jones playing poker. That's what
36:49
Speaker 1: I was wondering on a second.
36:51
Speaker 3: Okay, but apparently you just need to play defensive line
36:56
Speaker 3: in the NFL. I mean, not only maybe be one
36:59
Speaker 3: of the best defensive players of all time, but JJ
37:01
Speaker 3: Watt is going to be a guest shark on Shark Tank.
37:06
Speaker 3: The publication the television show put it out yesterday now
37:10
Speaker 3: also hand raised an air glad they're still making new
37:12
Speaker 3: episodes of Shark Tank. Yeah, I didn't did not know
37:16
Speaker 3: they were still making new episodes and I'm glad they're
37:18
Speaker 3: doing that.
37:18
Speaker 1: We were running out of stuff to event.
37:20
Speaker 3: You know, we're always finding new stuff to invent, And
37:22
Speaker 3: I also wonder if you know there's more of it, Like, Hey,
37:24
Speaker 3: I'm actually gonna take this to the TikTok shop, but
37:27
Speaker 3: I just wanted to test run it here on Shark
37:29
Speaker 3: Tank and see if you guys liked it first. But
37:31
Speaker 3: he is going to be a guest shark on the
37:33
Speaker 3: newest season, starts this fall on ABC and Hulu. He
37:36
Speaker 3: said it that I've been a fan for all seventeen seasons,
37:40
Speaker 3: me and my wife with debate deals from the couch
37:42
Speaker 3: for years. But now to be in a place where
37:44
Speaker 3: I'm fortunate enough to be asked to be a guest
37:46
Speaker 3: shark is pretty surreal, extremely grateful. I guess I didn't
37:50
Speaker 3: realize should have maybe under been more familiar with his game.
37:54
Speaker 2: I didn't know.
37:54
Speaker 3: JJ Watt was swimming in swimming in those waters. Pardon
37:58
Speaker 3: the pun. Hey, Now, I didn't know he had that
38:00
Speaker 3: kind of glue that they're asking him like a Rod
38:03
Speaker 3: Corp Drew to be a guest shark. That's wild's that's
38:07
Speaker 3: some serious, serious cash. But apparently Darren ravel who's you know,
38:12
Speaker 3: the pocket Watch Insider said and posted it in response
38:16
Speaker 3: to will be an amazing guest Shark. JJ has been
38:21
Speaker 3: a phenomenal investor in his brief time out of the NFL,
38:27
Speaker 3: and you know, cited a couple of different things that
38:28
Speaker 3: apparently he's really knocked it out of the park with
38:31
Speaker 3: in terms of his investments, not only just the soccer teams.
38:34
Speaker 3: So JJ Watt Pewaukee's own you can make it all
38:37
Speaker 3: the way from Pewaukee, Wisconsin to not only the big
38:39
Speaker 3: stage of the NFL into Kanton, Ohio, but into one
38:43
Speaker 3: of those comfy chairs right next to Mark Cuban on
38:45
Speaker 3: Shark Tank.
38:46
Speaker 1: I told you around a Memorial Day when I had
38:48
Speaker 1: my first sip of that athletic eletical Yes, yes, athletic
38:52
Speaker 1: no non alcoholic beer, athletic brewing company. He was an
38:56
Speaker 1: early investor in that.
38:58
Speaker 3: Okay, he's also a peer, I think, an early investor
39:02
Speaker 3: in this, uh, this new peanut butter and jelly sandwich
39:07
Speaker 3: uncrustable deal that they're going after like basically trying to
39:10
Speaker 3: take down on crustables. And he's one of the early
39:13
Speaker 3: investors in there. And I believe they just got a
39:15
Speaker 3: huge deal with the NFL.
39:16
Speaker 2: I would say that's tough to take down Crustble's butt.
39:20
Speaker 2: Where there's coke, there's pepsi where there's Backstree boys that
39:23
Speaker 2: you have to think about.
39:24
Speaker 3: That and these ones are made, you know, with no
39:26
Speaker 3: seed oils, different ways that it can be somewhat for
39:28
Speaker 3: athletes someone more yeah, more athlete driven.
39:33
Speaker 1: Minority investor in the Burnley Football club in the Premier League.
39:36
Speaker 3: The soccer clubs were the ones that I know. He's
39:39
Speaker 3: also got one in La Liga.
39:41
Speaker 1: Uh.
39:44
Speaker 3: If you have the cash and that's one of the
39:45
Speaker 3: bigger clubs there in in Spain.
39:47
Speaker 2: Why would you just invest in sports, especially soccer teams,
39:50
Speaker 2: if you had the cash.
39:52
Speaker 1: It seems like every sports.
39:54
Speaker 2: Organization, league team, everything's increasing well.
39:58
Speaker 1: And you know, Junior Bridgman would be proud out uh
40:00
Speaker 1: and and rest in peace. But you do.
40:02
Speaker 3: I always think of Junior Bridgeman when when you see
40:04
Speaker 3: an athlete doing something incredible in the investing space after
40:08
Speaker 3: But JJ is also in this spot where he probably
40:10
Speaker 3: can invest all of the playing money because he's so
40:13
Speaker 3: good at this next job as well in calling games.
40:16
Speaker 3: He's gonna make a ton of money doing this one.
40:17
Speaker 3: So he's got a lot that he can play with
40:19
Speaker 3: and uh, really cool. He's gonna be on Shark Tank.
40:21
Speaker 2: I love that.
40:22
Speaker 1: Let's see some and il though. All right, all right,
40:24
Speaker 1: we're closing up on Sean. I had a lot of
40:26
Speaker 1: fun on this hot take compday. We're over the hump.
40:29
Speaker 1: Now we're on a Friday, Junior Friday Eve, so we're
40:32
Speaker 1: gonna knock out of the park. We're gonna do it
40:34
Speaker 1: again tomorrow. We'll have Hunter Bomguart with us tomorrow, don't
40:37
Speaker 1: won't we? Yeah?
40:38
Speaker 3: And that always aids a thurstay Thursday. When I think
40:40
Speaker 3: of Thursday, Thursday, I think a Hunter see at five
40:42
Speaker 3: am Perce
