  Speaker 2: Fenway.

  Speaker 3: Fenway is awesome.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Just because it's old and even if it's not old,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it still looks like it did when it was old.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: And when you see the monster with your own eyes, like,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: that's pretty crazy. It's cool.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But I think bush stadiums in baseball stadiums three.

• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Have you been to the Pittsburgh I've been to the

  Speaker 7: Peco Park in inan Diego. Very underrated. I swear, do
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: you that have stadium is.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Awesome, really awesome.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it at.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Three on a baseball stadium.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing that's cool about Yankee Stadium now
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is that you get off the subway and it's just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It is awesome, Like you come right out of the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: hole and it's like a Yankee stadium, and.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Then when you go to the game, you're in there
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: with a bunch of fans, Like the whole subway is
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: packed with a bunch of Yankee fans.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: That part's cool. I'm not a Yankee fan, and what
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I could respect. I'm more of just a National League
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: guy anyway, because I was this National League him a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: whole life interesting National League. Yeah, I've been down to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the breaks.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh cool, but I'm gonna put Bush.
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: What about came tow yards Baltimore?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Never been there?
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Looks cool.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: They've been to Baltimore.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we spend the night in Baltimore one night. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: know that because justin the suit went to the casino there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: But that's it like touring and we just stayed there.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I think we were flying out of Baltimore the next morning,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: so we stayed.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I've been to the Baltimore airport.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Does that count though?
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: When you yeah, like a layover.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We just had to stay the night in hotel, like
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we probably did a show in DC. It can only
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: get a Baltimore flight. So then we went and no,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it doesn't count.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I'm Bush at three.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It's hard for me to do because I I didn't
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: even hate the Cardinals. I just grew up hating the Cardinals.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm an adult man now. Those people are just athletes
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that are either drafted or highed by the Cardinals. But right,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and I have to tell myself that sometimes. But yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Bush is really it's the new Bush Stadium.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: But it's really cool. And maybe it's just cool because
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: we got to go, but it was awesome.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: So that's Bush three? Is that what I was reading? Yea,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: it was Bush three? It was Bush one.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Bush two is the last one they shut down. No, No,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that's that's a different Bush. It's h w h Yeah
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that's true too.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: This is named after the Bush.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: What's the coolest football stadium ever been to?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know? Oh?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Good man, I think you have to pull your personal out.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, that's gonna be tough because.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I would say my favorite place on Earth is Reynolds
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Razorback Stadium. But I wasn't even thinking that, so you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: can't use it. I think out in front of the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: stadium in Tuscaloosa where they have the trophies or the trophies,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the statues of everybody who won a national championship.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: That's freaking cool.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And when they walk down during Sweden Alabama that's pretty cool.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Stadium is big, that's really cool. Like Alabama's the environment's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: really neat. You know, Oklahoma they have statues of their
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Heisman winners. They are a lot of Heisman winners. Kind
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of bizarre. I mean Heisman winners Oklahoma has, but Alabama
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: really cool.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: We went to Death Valley that was called cool lsu
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: mm hmm. That was really cool.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: But you didn't watch a game.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: There were the first show.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the game.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: There's the games that are really loud. I mean they're
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: but I don't know that I like that stadium.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's just crazy because everybody's drunk and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it's Baton rouge.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the Jambalaya it's purple Soldier Fields.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Super cool when you drive by it on the interstate
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and then you go and you get in it and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you're like, huh.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Well, what's the hunt.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: It's just kind of old.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: I don't know, yeah, like you feel the old if it's.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Old, and like they left some of like the personalized
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: old or like the but I don't feel like Soldier
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Field really has that charm of something old.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: It just is kind of sucky.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And maybe because I'm not a Bears fan, because when
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: regular before they started new it was as a dog
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: crab stadium, but it was the best.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: It's weird because outside of the stadium it kind of
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: looks like a Supreme Court house. It does, right, Yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: columns and really yeah Soldier, yeah, Soldier.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: The Cowboy Stadium is good though it is, it just
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: feels pretty clinical.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Did you clean and new screens everywhere?
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: Have you been to Kneel?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Oh? No, No, that's cool. I mean he's a big fan.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying I'm taking my bias out. Don't worry.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: But it's still really but it's on the river like
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: it's awesome.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Did you ever go to the Astronome? Yes?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: No, no, but I went to the astros I went
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to in Ron when it was in the same state.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: He changed the name Ron and then it went to
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: minute Mad.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, then Ron, what is that?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And Ron was a company that liked the big scam
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that oh people had billions of dollars.
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: It sounds like an oil company.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: There was an oil company was.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Really something like that okay, but unfair to ask me
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that question because I picked my personal team's number one
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and then recent teams number two, so it's a tough
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: question to answer.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Ahead it was some big names still remaining. Who was
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: the biggest NFL freed in surprise still available?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, running backs don't really surprised me because it
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: does feel like you us guy have been Neill running
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: back off the heap, and they do okay unless they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: are extremely dynamic. But in the running back world, Dalvin Cook,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: but he didn't really do much with the Jets, but
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they didn't really give him a lot of opportunity to.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Do much with the Jets. But also the Jets didn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: do much.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Cam Akers is not with the team right now. Kareem
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Hunt not with the team, and he came back to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Cleveland for a minute.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: Didn't he at the very end?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like he's like, hey, what's up, Hey, Kareem's bad?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: All season's over?
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, got hurt?
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Hunter renfro Man, that guy like dominated receiver. Yeah, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: then just dropped off crazy and you'd see tiktoks with
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: these other receivers or even dB would be like that
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: dude's a dog. Hunter Renfro that dog's for and then
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it was like as soon as I drafted in my
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: fantasy and he sucked.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: He's a little guy, right, relative little guy, No, no, no,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I think he's like smaller than most receivers. Yeah, he's
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: also white, so it makes him look slow and automatically.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I just if you're on wire receiver, you just look like.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The Packers lineman that went to Aaron Rodgers' wedding. Bakatiari.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm surprised he's still a free agent. Those
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: lineman positions are in need unless he just isn't good anymore.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: But I don't know there's a big wide receiver that
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I think or even a play.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, uh, Michael to.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: Talk about dropping off big time, but he got hurt.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: It was awesome for a bit.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: He got hurt and then came back and he's supposed
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: to have a decent year last year.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: But again then he got like weird.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: He got in trouble and did some weird on field
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: stuff in practice.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: So I don't know there's anybody that I'm screaming.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that they're a free agent right now, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I am ready for some freaking football now like I'm
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: ready almost there? Yeah, what else you got?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Going to basketball here? Which dominant duo has impressed you
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: more in the conference finals? Tatum and Brown or Luca
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: and Kyrie?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: This is easy.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: It's Luke and Kyrie. Okay, don't ask the question if
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you don't want the answer. Sorry, I didn't say that
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: loud it you did. Tatum has scored thirty points twice.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: One of those, though, was in like the fifth overtime
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: when all he had to.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Do was make it like a lay up a day
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: and he made He got thirty points. But I'm not
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: even hating.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Jalen had forty points in a game. Pretty cool.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I guess that the expectation is just there because they're
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: playing the junior highs. I think we could score thirty
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a game.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Stop. Don't say stuff over on the East. That's not
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: fair with the booter without.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Luke and Kyrie are legit. And you know what, after
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: they score game.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Winners the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth time in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the past twenty five games, it's not lucky anymore.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Be honest, though, I think Kyrie is shining more than Luca.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: LUKEA is just coming up at that right time to
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: hit those shots that they need.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: They're complimenting each other. Well, there is nobody as fast
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: as Kyrie with the ball on a break.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: There's nobody.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna go Luke and Kyrie because the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: expectation wasn't there. And also they're playing better teams. Again,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the Celtics have beat us, that's why they went four.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: They've lost two games in three series.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Right then they go four to one, four oh, four
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: to one. H Yeah, they played us.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Do you think you guys can win? Do you think yeah,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you think you'll Yeah. By the way, I was wrong.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: You guys are gonna be the favorite.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Over over Dallas.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I have figured Dallas would be. It was pretty close,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: but Detroit was the favorite. What's what's all that is?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It is a game four tonight? Yes, okay, so Celtic
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Alardy won.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: There, Detroit was the favorite. Sorry, not Detroit, Dallas, thank you.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It was like Detroit the worst team in the NBA.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: They finish the worst two years in a row.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: The D man, I'm fascinated with the D. My point
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is I think I've forgotten point. Yeah, I have to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: move on because I had a good point and now
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I forgot the point.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: All right, next question, all.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Right, last one here, speaking of the Celtics after two
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: come from behind wins, Now, do you believe their inability
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: to close close games is over?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I believe that the teams they've been playing haven't been
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: able to close games. I'm not a hater.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Look who they're playing against, don't I know?
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: All season they've been the best team in the NBA.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: But they're playing Eastern Conference teams they're playing.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: For the most part, I'm not a hater of the Celtics.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Celtic hater. And if they win, good
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: for them. They deserve to win. They've been close many times.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna better them to win.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: As matter of fact, I bet Minnesota to come back.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Oh that was a great bet, dude, I did.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I put fifty bucks on the Timberwolve to come back
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: out three.
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I mean then he went four in a row. But
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: fifty bucks makes.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Five to fifty and anything is possible. Yeah, it's except
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that's never happened before.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: I think it has a baseball red's obviously, that's right.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I think that the Pacers and a twenty six year
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: old Jason Tatum is starting to mature into the player
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he is. And I think that also they're able to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: close games. They're just better than the teams they're playing.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: And I think that there's such a disparity in the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Celtics versus the Pacers, especially without a Halliburton.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: When nim Hart is your guy.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: He looked good, he did look good.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: But they had nobody else when because before the Pacers
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it was the.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Knicks, whenever Cabs. I'm sorry, even worse, yeah, even worse.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: They don't have it. There's nobody but Celtics.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Missing prisingis, but Porzingis was the adding Chris Bosh to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: an already awesome team with and it didn't This wasn't
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the order but Lebron. It's like Lebron and Waite and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you ad Bosh. Bosh was going, You're not like, well
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: we suck now, You're like, dang it. Imagine if we
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: had Posh.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: I agree. I mean, obviously yeah, they had the advantage,
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: but I'm just saying it's gonna.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Be like one quarter and grab his hip. And I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: kind of.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Wanted it didn't play a little bit, just because that's
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: such a long time off to come back into the finals.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: This is what I was gonna say, listen to this.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: This system is broken because if it goes four to
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: oh tonight, there's not another game till sixth. Yeah, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they won't start the series hardly. They're just waiting until
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: sixth and.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Everybody's just chilling.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, they can't let that happen.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Basically, like you take a vacation, maybe the twenty ninth, thirtieth,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: thirty first, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, it's like nine days.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: So that's why the refs are really going to push
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: toward a Minnesota win.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I agree with that conspiracy.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: That's why I do a little money.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: And that's why you're scratching on that. It's pretty good.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Fifty Yeah, it's kind of been a boring, yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Final four, very stressed Conference Finals.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: We were getting off the flight Game two Dallas Minnesota,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and it was right in the last ten seconds or
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: so of the game and Eddie walks his car and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Minnesota pretty much soda up. I turned on to put
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it on the ESPN and do the old I watch
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: it on ESPN, and that was the Luca Luca, Oh.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: My god, so stupid, man.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: I just I felt your pain.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: So stupid. Oh I saw my bet go from like
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: a cash out of like fifty dollars down to like
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: twenty dollars. Now, I don't even think there's a cash out.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I would also like to say that I did say
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Luca is the best player remaining whenever we picked us.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I did not jump on the let's go ahead and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: declare and that dude, although he is that dude, he's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: just getting a little tired.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: His guests.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Get the guy a sleep number something, man, let him
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: take a.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Nap, sleep number dot com, slash bone, Yes, thank you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: All right, that's the tittle tattle. Get out.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break and we'll come back and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about our Saint Louis trip a little bit
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and get into our interview with Jim Edmonds. Okay, so
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: before we get into our interview with Jim Edmonds, I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: will say the Saint Louis too much access was I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: do believe it's the most fun when we've ever shot.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Oh it's so much fun, dude, so much fun.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know one that would have been more fun
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: as a participant. I don't know about you guys. You guys,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I mean Kevin's running the show. Read shooting everything. Yeah,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys doing that, but my
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: part of it, I do think that was the most
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: fun one that we've ever done. But surrounding him with
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: going to Jim Edmond's house, with doing the podcast outside
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the stadium, with going in the stadium, hanging out with
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmid who then we do a bit and I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: have his bat and then he goes on a tear
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: all weekend.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Thank you, You're welcome. When, yes, you know, playing.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Eddie hurt his foot, Yes, all that fun stuff.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Well the foot thing wasn't fine.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: No, it was not.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And going to the game afterwards, true, although it did
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: get happening, did.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Get rained down. All that to say, Mikey did not
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: get to.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Go no.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Level probably why I got hurt. Let's be real, level of.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: One to ten ten.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: All the pictures you guys supposedly looked amazing and I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't there for any of it. I know, and I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: felt bad for you, but really I was having so
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: much fun.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I didn't feel that I forgot to feel bad.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: I feel like he has to completely forgot about It's fine.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: We did, yeah, I mean before and after we remembered
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you there's even like a picture of all four of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you guys.
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: We've never taken a group picture like that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was awesome, good. It was like so legit. Really,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it was so legitimate. And we're not just saying that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: because it was so legit.
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But Eddie did like fracture a bone on the outside
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of his foot.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I didn't find out that I fractured it until was
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: that Saturday.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: No, it started swelling Sunday. Sunday media took a shoe
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: off looking at base underneath the skin.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: I knew something was wrong as soon as it happened,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: because as soon as I jumped up and it landed
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: on the base, what happened was Bones. I'll break it
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: down for you, guys. Bone, I'm gonna give you the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: real story. After Eddie tells you the lie, I'll tell
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: you the real story. Bones was throwing the ball to
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: me and I was at second I was playing second base.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Throws the ball at me. It's way overthrown, so I
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: stretched jump as high as I can stretch up. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: still miss the ball and on the way down, like
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: my toe my big toe side hits the corner of
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the base and rolls my ankle over and I got
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: full body weight on my ankle.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, by the way, it's nobody's fault
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you hurt your foot. By the way it's made to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: throw the ball high. It's just you coming down on
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: a bag. But that's not even the real story.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: But go ahead, finish right anyway. So when I landed
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: full body weight, I can hear I heard a crunch.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, your foot hitting the bag.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not kidding, dude. I heard like a crunch,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and I was like, this is not good. But that
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: was early into us shooting. So we still played catch
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: for like another ten minutes there. We caught pop flies
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: for another twenty minutes out in the outfield like, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: then Bones goes, hey, lastly, let's race around the base.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And I was like, man, i' gonna be honest with you,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think I can do that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I said, I respect that, so we didn't.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: So we didn't do it, and then I faked it
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: pretty good until we got to the like left the stadium.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Then once we left the stadium, like, dude, I can't walk.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: This is this is hard.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: But then he walked all during the game the whole time,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and he said, I got it better. So this is
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: what really happened. Eddie wasn't near the base where he
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: should have been, and even the coach hielled, Hey, there's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a base to Eddie get over to the base. So
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: where I threw it is where he should have been.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: We were turning to you know, I guys do playing
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: infild so but it also it's just.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: An age thing, man, when I get your age and.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Be careful to Yeah, next year, dude, you're gonna start
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: being careful nowt But we did go to Jim Edmond's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: house the night before and got to his house.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: They like going downstairs.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: We go downstairs to his basement and there's like, I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: don't know, arcade games, arcade bowling alleys, arcade games, bowling alley,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: pop a shot, there's a batting cage. There was another
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: ballplayer who came over just to hit. Wasn't even set up.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Pretty awesome.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just literally started hitting you just hear while we
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: were there, was getting hit.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was great.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to play this interview we do with
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Jim Edmonds and the fact that he let us come
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: over and hung out with us so long and then
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: just kind of.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: You know, let me.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Ask every question I ever had about that era in baseball.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Was super cool because I had a lot I could
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: have done another hour. I think he probably could have
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: another hour too, but they had a dinner to get to. Yes,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: wait for that dinner, man, we'd probably still be interviewing
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: right now, right now.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, here he is Jim Edmonds.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Before we came over to your house, which, by the way,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: this place is crazy. It's like a fantasy land for
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: sports fans, kids and me. I'm a mix of those two.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like a hybrid kids sports fan. We stopped at
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: a card shop and we were in there. I have
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I like sports memorabilia, but I over on a wall
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I saw this and I bought it for twenty bucks
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to Jim Edmonds bibblehead. So twenty fourteen, you were inducted
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: into the Cardinals Hall of Fame. Do you remember this
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: night when they gave way the Jim mmons bibble heads?
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, because I had like five cases of him in
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: the back of my car.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: What is it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Let's say, we haven't opened it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: That's what I told Bobby to him, Like, don't you
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: think Jim has a bunch of these already?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it wasn't it. This wasn't about Jim Oh.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I was gonna make aim Bobby well.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: This was this was about seeing it and going, oh
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: this is cool.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Here y go okay, hard to do one hand in that?
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not.
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: Does it look just like.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Jim at Oh?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They never do.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: It's like the statues they unveil in front of stadiums
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and it's supposed to be Kobe and you're like, who
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: is that?
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: Nothing like Kobe.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: It's got a neck brace on at this running into
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the wall. Here it is bobbling. What does he look like?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Number fifteen?
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: It's kind of close.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I guess you'd have to ask my wife. She would
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: be the judge.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: But did you ever you ever go into because we
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: went to a car shop and got this? Did you
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: ever you ever go into a car shop and they're like,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: holy crap, that's that's Jim.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes do you ever have to.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Sign everything that your face is on in there? No,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that's what I would if I were running it and you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: walked up. Were you sign all this time?
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: It's kind of cool because you know, they're a pretty
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: respectful point. But when my son he's now eighteen. When
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: he was younger, he was obsessed with all that stuff,
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: and so I'd go in there and take him and
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: kind of just show him too that I was up there,
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: but all the guys are up there, and then they
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: would see me and they would be like, I'll give
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: him anything he wants.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Send a couple of pictures, Yeah, would you something?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Would was your son around? Like, did he understand? I
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: guess he was at that age where he like knew
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: what was going on right when you were playing still on.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: Like he was he was he was born at the
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: end really, so yeah, so he got to he knows
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: everything about When I worked for the Cardinals, I was
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: this assistant to the president for Mozillac for a few
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: years and then COVID hit kind of messed all that
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: up like it did for all of us. But I
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: did that and TV, so I was able to go in,
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: bring him work in the dugout in the locker room,
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: batting practice and then batting practice over red shower and
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: go upstairs into the TV booth, and then covid hit
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: shut all that down, and then it was, you know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: never the same sense. So I just kept doing TV.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: But you know, they're really good about families there, so
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: they let Landing in. They'll let him on the field
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: and shagfly balls or whatever. It's a little different when
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: you're not in there in there, so it's hard for
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: me to, like, you know, let him go on his own,
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: even though he's old enough and he knows everyone.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's that was kind of.
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: The whole idea for me still working, was to give
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: him that extra chance to be around it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Does he understand how dynamic a player you were, or
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: does he just have to hear your stories and roll
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: his eyes.
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I don't tell him anything. He will show me a bit.
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: He'll be like, hey, look when my friend sent me,
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: or hey look what I saw. Or he'll be like
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: such and such game was on this channel and I
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: saw you got two hits, but you struck out on
• 21:52
  Speaker 10: the fastball right down the middle.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I know that feels I was there. Yeah.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Do you see you in him when he plays ball? Now?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Can you see?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Except he's already faster than I was. He can he
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: runs the bases like a madman. It's it's weird because
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: he's a little bit shorter than I am. He's only
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: you know, he's going to be a senior. He's only
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: five nine, but he can fly and that's something I
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: never can do. I can never run. He doesn't have
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: my arm, but he's got the defense and the more
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: I Q probably his age than I did, and his
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: swing's getting pretty good.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Does he listen to you or do you give him
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: coaching or advice? Like what's the dynamic?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Because I'm like, you'll know the answer this one of
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the just roll.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: His eyes and go like, dad, come, want to know
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit of both, it really is.
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: It's weird because I wish he was here right now,
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: because like he'll talk about certain things and I'm like, yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: that's not kind of how it works. And then you know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: some days he'll say, hey, what do I need to
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: do here? So it is it's weird dynamic.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: You know. I try to get him to do certain
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: things and he won't do it. He's like, yeah, yeah,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: i'll do it. I'll do it, and he doesn't do it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: And then somebody else will give him the same idea,
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: like a coach told him to do something, or I
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: actually was struggling.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: With him a little bit so I called Joe Madden.
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: Sure, you know Joe Madden is and he gave me
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: some ideas because he was my hitting coach since I
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: was eighteen. Yeah, he was our minor league hitting instructor
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: when I was in the Angels organization. Then when I
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: got to the big leagues, he was our hitting and
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: bench coach and then so and that was. So, that
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: was from time I was eighteen until time I was
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: twenty nine and so, and I used to take land
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: in when the Cubs had come into town to go
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: meet him and talk to him. But he gave me
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: some really good ideas, and Landon actually started listening to
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: those ideas.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: They he's down here in the cage every day and
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: he'll sometimes hit himself into a struggle because you can
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: you can overhit, and yeah, it goes both ways.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: When you got the call and so you go up
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to the big leagues and the Angels, right, what's it
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: like day one in the locker room as somebody that
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: just got the call up.
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: I think my generation right at that era, like in
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: the early nineties, was the very first generation of ball
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: players where they allowed them to kind of get a
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: little bit of spring training familiar. I think before it
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: was like they really wanted you to like work for it, so.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit better.
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: The call up was kind of one of those things
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: like you knew it was coming because I just hit
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: three hundred in Triple A. I kind of got the
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: word that it was going to happen, but had to
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: wait till the end of the season. And so I
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: flew from Vancouver to Detroit and walked in this old
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: stadium and walked out, put my clothes on, and they're like,
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: you're in the lineup.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: So I walked down the tunnel.
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: And opened up into the dugout and I looked up
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: I was like, oh my gosh, like Tiger Stadium.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: And so that was incredible.
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: And then going home for the first time, playing in
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: Anaheim a week later, being on that side of the
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: field and not looking down at the guys, looking back
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: up at the stands, it's just a it's a crazy,
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: crazy feeling. I think that you could probably have the
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: same feelings for when you're a kid watching people and
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: now you're doing the talking and the you know, the
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: shows and the gigs and all the stuff you do
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: looking down on the mass audience or looking up at
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: the audience, A totally different experience.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Do you remember who was on the mound the first
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a bat you had in the majors?
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: I think it was Bill Gullickson and he was throwing
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: about eighty five and I swung through three fastballs right
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: down the middle, and then I went over three. And
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: then the next night I pinched hit against Dwayne Ward.
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: He was so ninety eight and I hit a ground
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: row double in Toronto. So crazy how it works.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Was there somebody that got hurt? Like when you got
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: your call?
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Why was it?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Was it just we're going to move somebody down because
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you were so hot, or was there something that happened
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that we need somebody now, let's move Jim up.
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: It was the basic September call up. It was that
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: you got your year in triple A. Yeah, they'd get
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: the rosters back.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day.
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: The rosters would go up to you could have forty guys.
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: The whole forty man could be up there. So they
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: would get up to like, you know, thirty thirty two guys,
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: and so me and another pitcher came up the same time.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: A couple of guys got called up earlier in the year,
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: and so I came up. I played a little bit.
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: You may play every couple days or whatever. We were
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: out of it, so they let some of the kids play. Yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: And then the next year I went to spring training
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: and made the team.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Is the locker room warm to you when you first
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: get there or is yea or are they kind of
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: like do they want to set you straight a little
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: bit as the rookie.
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: It depends, you know, it depends on how you act.
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: They kind of you know, And that's why I'm saying
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: the good thing is now, I think since my era
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: and up, they've really got guys in spring training, got
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: familiar with the big leagues. Give them a taste of
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: it so they know what to expect. They can be
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: more familiar.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I think walking into a clubhouse would be scary, you know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: like the first day and never being around it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but I think they're waiting for you to make
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: mistakes so they can set you straight. But I think
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: when you go up there and you start playing, you're
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: you know, you're helping the team win, so kind of
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: they take you under their wing until you can't do
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: the right things right, you know, until you get out
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: of hand. I guess they pretty much leave you alone,
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: like they give you some stuff. You know, it'd be
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: like one of your shows, like you're always over all
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: over each other, like you know, you're giving it back
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: and forth, but you got to keep your mouth shut.
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: They mess with you at all, like yeah, yeah, not no,
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: no hazing, but yeah, it's almost every day at some
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: point there's something.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, you gotta kind of watch.
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: You put your head on a swivel and you just
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: like I said, just keep your mouth shut and stave
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: of away and.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Just like prison man.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's except you get to leave and you
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: get money maybe.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Not yea yeah, and you get to hit. Yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I don't so one of these I don't want to name.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: In one I do want to name. So the one
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I do want to name when you finally met what
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: hero baseball hero of yours while you were playing and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: they ended up being as being as cool as.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: You had hoped don mad really yeah, well with it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: The Yankees at the time, randomly my rookie year.
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: Buck Rodgers was our manager for that last year, and
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: he was like, get a first baseman's glove, And I
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: was like, all right, said, have you ever played first base?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I said no.
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: I got the glove in like four days later and
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: went in after the game and he was like, oh, great,
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: you're playing.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: First base tomorrow.
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: Glove out in the box, still like I haven't broken in,
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: never played first baseball. We played the Yankees a couple
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: of days later, and it was now half through the season,
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: and I kind of was spread out like I hit,
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: you know, and I had already been doing that and
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: anyways playing first base and John matically gets about a
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: base hit and comes around and I'm just kind of like,
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: oh my god. You know, he's standing right there, and
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: so I walk around, you know how you walk around
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: the bag to get to the front of it while
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: you know you're gonna hold him on. And he looks
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: at me and goes, hey, kid, And I was like,
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: how you doing, sir? And he goes, did you see
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: my Jim Edmonds two strike approach? And I was like,
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: and you know, I never said anything to him. I
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: was like, wow, you know, like in my head. And
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: I told him after I retired, I went and did
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: a thing with him and I was like, you know,
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: you're my idol growing up, and he went on and
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: on and on, and we were talking about it forever.
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: But yeah, it's just it was crazy seeing Nolan Ryan
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: on the mountain.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Really, the face of face is pretty impressive.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: He throw bebes.
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Still he's so in ninety four when he's forty
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: five years old.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy, his seventh no hitter, Yeah, all of them
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: were wild, right, But when he's in his forties, still
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: throwing no hitters, still ninety three, ninety four years Well.
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: You know what I think is interesting as I remember
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: this as a kid, if you still watch it, when
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: the ball comes out of his hand, it just stays flat,
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: like straight, like it's almost rising. You don't see guys.
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: Everybody throws hard now the ball runs. His ball looked
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: like it just kind of kept going and he had
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: that extra velocity. The guys just couldn't catch up.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: But I don't want a name on this. But did
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: you meet anybody and they weren't as cool as you
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: had hoped? And what's that story without a name? Huh?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And it could be there's nobody And actually everybody in
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the world is awesome, not.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: In baseball, not in baseball.
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: There are some country music dang it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: No, yeah, no, you know what every being's I've been
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: so fortunate for that, and you know I love for
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: music in Nashville. Now I can't really can I got
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: to think about this one for a little bit, but
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: probably not. I think I was more. It was more
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: I think this is funny because I told my wife this.
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: One time I met a couple of models and I
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: kind of got when I was younger, like almost set up,
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: and when I went up to say hello, I was like, oh,
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: this is what you look like like in real life,
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: Like wow. And I was like after that, I was
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: like every picture in book I've ever looked that was ruined.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: It's all fake.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, oh yeah, they're like wow, They're.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Like you're that good looking.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: We didn't expect it to be just makeup to Bobby
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: is like, this is all you This is it, It's
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: all you need.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: The All Star Game. As a kid watching the All
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Star Game, there was a huge deal because those two
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: teams never played, you know, before inter League play happened.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: It was crazy to watch somebody from the Blue Jays
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: play somebody from the Guard Walls and I just thought
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: it was so cool to be at the All Star
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Game or to even watch it. Was it As a player,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I know it's an honor. But did you ever just
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: want the days off?
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah? Yeah, early on loved it. It was so much fun.
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: It really is a special thing, like and I can
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: see why some of those guys after their tempting twelfth
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: All Star Game kind of pull back or say, hey,
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: I don't really.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Need to play or whatever.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: I could see why I didn't because I only made
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: four and I just thought they were special. And the
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: first one I didn't start, and then I think I started.
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: I got to start the second and third one, and
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: then the fourth one I got voted to start or
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: something not voted to start, but I made the team
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: and they and started again, and I was like, I
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: can't turn this down, right, It's it's not just your
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: one at bat in the ninth inning. So I love
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: that part of it. But it's very interesting going in
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: there and seeing the pictures in the corner and the
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: players over here, but the names of just the greatest
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: players in the in that era. Just sitting around talking
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: everyone's sharing stories was pretty cool.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Is it a competitive environment at all or is it
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: a celebration environment.
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: Mostly it's a little bit of both. It's just kind
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: of a business as usual day. But you can see pictures,
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: especially comparing I remember I.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Forget who it was.
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: I think it was like Billy Wagner and maybe like
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: a another closer, and they were talking about strikeouts and
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: they're saying, my strikeout numbers are going down, and he said,
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: get used to it, because everybody gets used to you,
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: and you got to think of new ways to just
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: get guys out.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: And strikeouts don't mean anything. You're a closer.
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: You're never going to have two thousand strikeouts, so just
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: get guys out. I thought that was interesting from coming
• 32:15
  Speaker 10: from a guy through ninety eight from the left side.
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: I think he was talking to Brad Ledge at the time,
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: but I just thought the conversations were pretty pretty cool
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: because there are always experiences and asking each other for
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: their advice.
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: One of my favorite things to see is when someone
• 32:32
  Speaker 11: gets on base and they're just kind of chatting it up.
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: They're laughing.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like, oh, I get to see my
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: old bud.
• 32:37
  Speaker 11: I'm playing their.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Team, Like who was it for you to go play
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: against and be like, oh, I'm so excited I get
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: to see this person.
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: You know, it's not supposed to be like that, but
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: it just I think when you play long enough. The
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: same guys, especially when we played the year's past, when
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: the division played against each other so many times. Yeah,
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: you see the same guys eighteen times.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: And if you were a good player, you're on first
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: base every game. You know.
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: There was certain guys just like catchers I would say
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: hello to and other catchers I would and first baseman's
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: vice versa. Some guys didn't like to talk, you know.
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: Some guys would be like, hey, what's up and then
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: turn around. Some guys like Mike Sweeney for the Royals,
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: he would talk and talk, talk, talk talk, super nice guy. Uh,
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: we're just talking.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You know, has a family whatever. You know when you
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: if you know, yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: While you're standing up for first base, OKAYT no, no,
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: but then you're like, I gotta run, dude.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: Jason Kendall was funny catching. Every time I said hey, hey, dude,
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: what's up? He would come up with some off the
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: wall remark that would just make me laugh. Or I
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: can't wait too for this one to be over so
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: I can get a beer, or you know, guys would
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: say stuff like that, or you know, we would have
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: little We played each other so many times. Brad Ostmas
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: one day and was hitting in Houston, and I would
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: always try to hit the ball left field.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: In Houston because of that short porch there.
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: And they threw me a fastball inside one day and
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: I kind of like stepped out the way a little
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: bit just to drag my bat to try to force
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: it up there. And he just looked up at me
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: and goes, you're really trying to hit those Crawford boxes,
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: are you? And I looked down and I go, what
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: the hell do you think I'm trying to do? Basically like, yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: of course I am, like it's right there. And it
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: was just funny because after playing them for years and
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: years and years, he finally just said something and I
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: was like, caught me off guard. I was like, yeah,
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: of course I'm trying to hit the Crawford boxes hitting.
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Ted William said he could see the seams. That's very famous.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Think he had visions, so he's a fighter pilot, you know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: his vision was awesome. Well, I was gonna ask, and
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I've brought some stuff about you and your vision as well.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like do you still have great vision?
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Was that your superpower as a hitter?
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: I think so. I think you have to see the seams.
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: You have to recognize pitches. You have to pay attention
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: enough to get like the different things where you'll see
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: like certain pitches will slow down on a breaking ball
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: where you won't see it with your eyes, but you'll
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: feel it. You'll you'll get the whole vibe of the
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: motion slow down, and then it'll kind of click in
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: your head that here comes something else. But yeah, you
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: got to see the dot on the slider. You got
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: to see seams, or you won't know by the time
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: it comes in and the swing starts. It's enough to
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: recognize which way the ball is going to go. And
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: I could see the signs from centerfield. I had twenty
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: ten vision just like he.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Did, like a one eye that barely works.
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: Like to hear that.
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: My son has got twenty ten vision in one eye
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: and his other eye it's really bad. So he's got
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: to wear contacts. But you know, I don't think I
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: told him. I said, if you don't get your eyes down,
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: then I don't think you can play at that extra
• 35:28
  Speaker 10: level because of the differences in a fastball, cutter and
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: a sinker.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: They all just do this, this or this, and it's
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: all seems.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: What about pictures that would either tip their pitches or
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: it would just naturally be a tip because you'd seehim
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: pitch so much and you see the idiosyncrasies of what
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: they were.
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: I was all over that. Yeah, that was probably my
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: biggest thing. I think I was an overachiever. I learned
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: early from Eduardo Perez, who learned from his dad obviously
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: is in the Hall of Fame Tony Press. He taught
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: me in double A and Triple A, and then we
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: got to the big leagues and I just picked it
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: up from there. A lot of the really good hitters
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: are on that, especially in the nineties and two thousands.
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: Anybody that was really good knew what was coming who.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Had an odd delivery. Did you ever face ad aoomo?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was tough to hit because you know he
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: turns back to you.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: Well, it was really weird. Is because there's two guys
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: that I had trouble with their change ups. He was one,
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: and there's a guy named Fernando Rodney. He's been pitching
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: for a long time. I think he's out of the
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: game now. He was in Detroit when he went to
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: the World Series, but they had change ups when.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: They threw him.
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: They threw them at you, so you flinched and then
• 36:29
  Speaker 10: it would just like fade down. Most guys throw a
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: change up down the middle, so you're going to swing
• 36:34
  Speaker 10: at it and then it runs off outside. Well he would,
• 36:37
  Speaker 10: they would hode Onoma's toom think, you throw like a
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: change up in my head and then you know it's
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: like you have to flinch right, and then you try
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: to stay on it because you know by then when
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: you flinch, you're like, oh, that's a change up, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: then you just can't recover.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: My struggle with that one.
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: And then Fernando Rodney had a good one too, the
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: same thing, to throw it at you and just come
• 36:53
  Speaker 10: back for a strike. Most guys are trying to throw
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: it to look like a strike and have a run
• 36:57
  Speaker 10: off the plate, and that's, you know, a little bit
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: easier to deal with, especially left handed.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: What about knuckleball, there's like a wakefield or there's.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: A few, you know, I loved hitting off Wakefield.
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: God rest his soul, like he was one of the
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: best guys in baseball personality wise, competitor, but I used
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: to kill him and he was like he started throwing
• 37:14
  Speaker 10: me fastballs.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Every pitch. Fastball. He was almost like telling me, he
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: comes fastball.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: What was his fastball? What would be eighty two?
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: Eighty yeah, but it looked like ninety five after the knuckleballs.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: And plus it's like.
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: This little he had a little short hum because when
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: he when he threw the knuckleball, you know I was
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: in here, and then he threw the fastball from the
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: sane spot. I was like, I was like throwing darts.
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: But I think I went three for four off from
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: two games in a row. And after that he started.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Throwing me fastball.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Was that just generally because you could see the knuckle
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I was just.
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: Really good at waiting and being My swing was still
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: left center field. If you try to pull the knuckleball,
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: you got no chance.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Did you ever get you're up twenty one to two
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: and get caught? Did you ever pitch an inning?
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: No? It's all I wanted to do in my whole
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: life because I was a pitcher growing up. I pitched
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: one time at a ball and I pitched an inning.
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: I struck out two out of three, and I got
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: for having the best stuff on our team and kangaroo court,
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: so I had better arm than most of the pictures
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: on our team. But I hurt my shoulder in high
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: school and I was supposed to be a pitcher, like
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: in the top two rounds, and I tore a muscle
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: on my shoulder and I ended up just getting lucky
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: got drafted because I cold learn how to hit.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I was gonna say that when I
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: was looking at your where you were drafted, it seemed
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to be late, like I don't know seventh th I
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: don't I don't remember seventh, six or seventh. I maybe
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: confuse you with Tom Brady, but still not that far down.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: But it was the shoulder injury.
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: I think it was that, and I think I got
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: written off as a pitcher, and then they drafted me
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: as an outfielder, and I think I was kind of
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: a late.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Bloomer in that situation.
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: And then, you know, some guys told me, well, I
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: didn't know if you could run, we didn't know if
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: you're going to be able to keep hitting all these
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: different things, but we knew you're a good athlete. So
• 38:47
  Speaker 10: my scout told me after a couple of years later,
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: and then he ended up passing away kind of halfway through.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: My big league career.
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: But yeah, it was just kind of a random well,
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: when they said I got drafted, I was like, for what, Like,
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: I had no idea it was going on, because I
• 39:00
  Speaker 10: knew I was pitch.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I was a pitcher.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Cardinals, And this wasn't you want drafted by
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Cardinal But the Cardinals had a guy who came up
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: as a pitcher and then wasn't able to pitch, and
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: then he came back and played.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: One of my best friends.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, Rick, Yeah, so Rick Ankile, yeah, obviously had
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if it.
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: Was the most incredible fastball curveball I've ever seen. Was
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: nineteen years old when he came up, and he.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Went through Arkansas played for the Travelers, the Double A team,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: So it was a big deal when he came up
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and I went to watch him pitch in Little Rock,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and like, I hated the Cardinals because the Cubs fan
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: didn't hate the Cardinals. I just hated the rival of
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the Cups, right, and everybody in Arkansas is a Cardinals
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: fan because our Double A team was the minor league
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: team to the Cardinals. But I went and watched Rick
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Ankile pitch and then I just remember he couldn't throw
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: it over the plate and he was gone. But then
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: he came back as hitter. A hitter.
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: The only guy. I tell him, you're special. You're the
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: only guy that made it to the big leagues twice.
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: He made it to the big leagues as a pitcher
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: and they made to the big leagues as an outfielder.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Just such a good athlete.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was special. He could he could hit.
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: When he was pitching team in the big leagues, I
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: would play first base when market needed a day off
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: once in a while, three times a year. And I
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: had some friends that I had grown up with that
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: were in the league, and they're like, Darryl Kyle had
• 40:09
  Speaker 10: the best curveball from the right side, and the next
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: day that Rick and kill would throw and he.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Was like it was great.
• 40:14
  Speaker 10: I faced Daryl Kyle yesterday and now I'm facing Ricky
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: and Kills in ninety five.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: With the better curveball from the left side.
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: And they were like guys would walk and like, man,
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: thank god I got to first base, like as a joke,
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: but he was that special.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: If that were Now do you think with of Tawny
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: showing that his injury, We'll talk about his injury, but
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: showing you can hit a pitch, do you think they
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: would have let ank you'll do that now.
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: I think he would have had a better chance. But
• 40:40
  Speaker 10: you know, it's hard because at that stage he was
• 40:44
  Speaker 10: only hitting every five days and I mean he probably
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: hit two twenty, two thirty whatever, I don't know, two
• 40:48
  Speaker 10: fifty pretty good, Yeah, pretty good, But you know, a
• 40:52
  Speaker 10: couple maybe in his career, maybe a home run or two.
• 40:56
  Speaker 10: But yeah, I think that you would have to be
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: a guy that would. I mean, Otani is special because
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: he's been doing it at that level the whole time.
• 41:03
  Speaker 10: If he would have come up that way, yeah, he
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: could have done that.
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: What's the living situation? Like when you get traded?
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: I've always wondered, you know, like, oh you got to go,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Like do you get an apartment and you just pack up?
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Like's awful?
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: What's that process?
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: Man, it's I got traded in spring training. So I
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: went from an apartment just packing my truck and taking
• 41:24
  Speaker 10: a suitcase to Jupiter and my dad coming and grabbed
• 41:27
  Speaker 10: my truck and taking it back to Orange County to
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: coming up here ten days later in Saint Louis and
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: staying in a hotel and looking for a place to
• 41:37
  Speaker 10: stay with no help. You know, they don't listen in
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: the minor leagues anymore.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: You're a grown man. You're on your own.
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: So but yeah, if you get traded in season, sometimes
• 41:45
  Speaker 10: they'll have somebody like, hey, this is where guys stay, Like,
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: we have.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: A building here. It's in Clayton.
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: It's a high rise that most guys will just go
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: to if they need to. But yeah, it's It was
• 41:58
  Speaker 10: brutal because I was about to sign a multi year deal,
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: so I was looking for a house, staying in a hotel,
• 42:03
  Speaker 10: playing every day.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Didn't they also tell you you're not getting traded.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Like you're not getting told the story to someone the
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: other day.
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: I just did an interview and yeah, I went in
• 42:13
  Speaker 10: and I said, hey, what well here, you just told
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: me I was gonna get traded. And our general manager
• 42:16
  Speaker 10: at the time, he was a was a knucklehead. He said, oh,
• 42:19
  Speaker 10: I told you weren't getting traded to the Yankees. I
• 42:22
  Speaker 10: was like, yeah, that's not what you said. But still
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: to this day, you know, the best thing ever happened
• 42:26
  Speaker 10: to me. But at the time, it was tough.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: When you come to a culture like Saint Louis and
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, do you feel it immediately at the difference
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: in the fans.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Interesting immediately right away, It's so interesting. I was pre.
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: The Angels and the Red you know, with Artie Marino
• 42:44
  Speaker 10: and the change of the philosophy and the change of
• 42:47
  Speaker 10: the culture there. And so I came here first day,
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: I was like, holy crap, like, what's going on here?
• 42:51
  Speaker 10: I got a standing ovation spring training. Ten thousand fans
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: first day, you know. And when we would play against
• 42:59
  Speaker 10: the Yankees, Red Sox, whoever, a lot more fans and
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: Anaheim were cheering for them than we're cheering for us.
• 43:04
  Speaker 10: And you get here, it's just, you know, other than
• 43:06
  Speaker 10: the Cubs coming into town, there is no cheering for
• 43:08
  Speaker 10: the other team.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: When you you kind of shot out of a cannon
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: when this once the season started, right, I just trying
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to remember, like I think you bat like three seventy
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: three eighty the fish, Like, is that just because it
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: was like a rejuvenation.
• 43:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think so small the ballpark was a little
• 43:23
  Speaker 10: bit smaller rejuvenation. I had spent most of the year
• 43:26
  Speaker 10: the year before rehabbing because I was hurt, kind of
• 43:29
  Speaker 10: got myself in really good shape, and so it was
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: having a good spring training. So when I came to
• 43:34
  Speaker 10: Saint Louis. I was in really good shape and ready
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: to go and just happened to work great. I mean,
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: Tony was you know, he was only was interested about
• 43:42
  Speaker 10: was winning and helping me get better as a man.
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: And he would just give me little tidbits here and there,
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: and it made me really want to.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Play rivalries real or real on the field. But once
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: you get off, you realize the fans aren't watching anymore
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and you're all professionals.
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: Cubs Starley it really early two thousand. I think that
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: the media made it. I don't think any of the
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: players really knew anything about it. Like, if you think
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: about the Cubs in those years, a lot of those
• 44:09
  Speaker 10: guys were you know, Dempster came from the Marlins. S
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: deakal Lee was in the Marlins. I think a couple
• 44:15
  Speaker 10: of homegrown guys. Their catcher was not from their team.
• 44:19
  Speaker 10: A couple guys came up, but all kind of we
• 44:22
  Speaker 10: both had a bunch of free agents. But the media
• 44:24
  Speaker 10: made such a big deal of it. It was like
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: heated right away. You know, if someone got thrown at
• 44:29
  Speaker 10: on accident, they would be like it was like a war,
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: and it was like it kept getting worse and worse
• 44:34
  Speaker 10: each year, and then finally you know you're like, what
• 44:37
  Speaker 10: are we doing here?
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: The team started.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: Breaking up a little bit and you start playing each
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: other enough you kind of start be friendly a little bit,
• 44:45
  Speaker 10: but still on the field. And then Panela and LaRussa
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: would go at it, so you know, you see all
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: that stuff. But that kind of turned it up a
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: notch too.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: So what about whenever you go from playing at Saint
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Louis and the next thing you know, you're in the
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: blue and you're playing for the Cubs.
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: That was fun. Then I realized that the rivalry wasn't
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: that big of a deal. But like I said, that
• 45:02
  Speaker 10: was kind of at the end when everything was breaking apart,
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: and I realized that in the locker room it wasn't
• 45:10
  Speaker 10: as bad as what you think it is because you're
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: what you read. And then, like I said, and the
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: teams that were so different at that time. You know,
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: there was that holiday came here, I was gone. You know,
• 45:23
  Speaker 10: I ain't kill was there I think for a year.
• 45:25
  Speaker 10: You know, those kind of things changed. Plus I was
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: kind of like the intermediate guy. But I had a
• 45:31
  Speaker 10: blast in Chicago. It was like ten times more fun
• 45:34
  Speaker 10: than I'd ever thought I could have there.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I loved it. I wanted to play there the next
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: year too, and theydn't want me back.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: You were like that because you were so freaking good
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: in center field, like it, it would really pissed me off,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and I would because you were you were awesome. I mean,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: you're the best outfielder that I've ever seen consistently, because
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I watched probably eighty five Cups gaming year and a
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: lot of those were playing the Cardinals. Yeah they were,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: and so I would see you. You were the most
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: dynamic ballplayer that I would have watched consistently. That wasn't
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: you know, a cub. But even then, we kept broth
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: with the center fielders and they were fine, that's fine,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: but they had no Jim Edmonds. And when you came over,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: it was like Calipari now who was coaching at Arkansas,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: who was a Kentucky freaking hated him, hated the Kentucky
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: now's at Aransas. Aw HEA's like my best friend.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: I'm like, let's go.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: I love you. Yeah, It's amazing how it changed it.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I mean you just changed colors and I was like, Jim,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: I love that guy. When you finally had you hung
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: it up was that difficult decision.
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: I blew my achilles out and so I really played.
• 46:28
  Speaker 10: It was tearing, shredding because of a situation I was
• 46:32
  Speaker 10: in the middle of with some medicine and the doctor
• 46:34
  Speaker 10: put some stuff in my achilles that shouldn't have been
• 46:37
  Speaker 10: in there, and so I was playing through it and
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: it just was getting to the point I wanted to retire.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I wanted to quit.
• 46:42
  Speaker 10: I wanted to fix it, and they kept talking me
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: into it Milwaukee, and then yeah, I went to Cincinnati
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: because our general manager from here went there just he
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: wanted me to just go help to get in the playoffs.
• 46:53
  Speaker 10: Played a couple of games and it was so bad
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: it popped, it wasn't completely torn, and then it finally
• 46:59
  Speaker 10: got to the point it's like I can't do this anymore.
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: And then after the season playing baseball with my son
• 47:07
  Speaker 10: and a tour tour, and so when I had that,
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: I thought, you know what, I'm probably done. Like I
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: couldn't imagine having to work at forty forty one years
• 47:15
  Speaker 10: old to come back from the achilles injury.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I just didn't know what was about. So I just
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: kind of might mentally shut it off.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Does anything hurt now? When the weather gets weird.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Everything.
• 47:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I just had my knee replaced about two and
• 47:27
  Speaker 10: a half months ago. You know, I'm you know, what
• 47:30
  Speaker 10: I've noticed is I'm getting stiff. I just need to
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: start stretching and doing more stuff.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: I've been lazy.
• 47:35
  Speaker 10: I have my knee replaced, and kind of when you
• 47:37
  Speaker 10: kind of don't walk around very much and you kind of,
• 47:40
  Speaker 10: you know, hobble upstairs and crutches and things start to
• 47:43
  Speaker 10: like tense up a little bit. So I'm on the
• 47:45
  Speaker 10: mend for that. And now I know, I realized I
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: have to like do a few things more than normal.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: My final three questions.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: But everything does hurt, yeah, every day.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't want to do it.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't even do anything and.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I heard I did nothing.
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: Jim, what do you miss the most about the game?
• 48:00
  Speaker 10: Probably the locker room, the guys, the battles. It's fun,
• 48:04
  Speaker 10: and it really is. It's fun to go out there
• 48:06
  Speaker 10: and win. I mean, we were just laughing earlier, how
• 48:08
  Speaker 10: competitive y'all are. That's kind of fun. You were actually
• 48:10
  Speaker 10: cheering each other on as you're trying to kill each other.
• 48:13
  Speaker 10: But that's kind of what it's like. You know, you're
• 48:15
  Speaker 10: every day with these guys from three o'clock, two o'clock
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: to midnight. Basically travel with them on the road. You know,
• 48:22
  Speaker 10: see them morning, you see your family. That's a special bond.
• 48:25
  Speaker 10: And those guys, some of these guys I still stay
• 48:27
  Speaker 10: in touch with every day. That'll never go in that's
• 48:30
  Speaker 10: really cool. I love the competition, so I'm so not
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: competitive away from the field, but on the field, ultra competitive.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: And so they'll probably those two things.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: That's interesting because I'm not an outgoing person away from
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: a microphone or a stage, just not an not going person.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: But then when it's time to do this, that's what
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I do. And I don't know if it's I've become
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: less outgoing because I do this all the time, or
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: if I am naturally an introvert and I can just
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: turn it up. But it is like two different worlds.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: And it seems like that's what you're saying what it
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: was like for you too, because you were competing at
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a high level. Yeah, so hyper focused in this one
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: spot that the rest of the time it wasn't that.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, last time, I want to sit on the couch
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: and do nothing. Yeah.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Two questions. Do you ever have an airplane scare because
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: you're traveling a lot like the bad turbul.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Not a terrible one.
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: We had a bad one coming home from spring training
• 49:18
  Speaker 10: one you're actually landing here in Saint Louis, But never
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: like the you know, if you didn't have your seat belt,
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: throw you out of the seat now and never been
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: diverted yet, knock on wood.
• 49:26
  Speaker 11: With all the flights you took, I can't believe it.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, think about it every day.
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: Did you think while you were, like, Man, we're flying
• 49:31
  Speaker 11: so much like this?
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 49:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah, your numbers game, yeah, numbers game on hundred percent? Right, Yeah,
• 49:36
  Speaker 10: I still think about it. You know, when we travel,
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: I'm like, when we're all traveling together, I'm thinking, Man,
• 49:40
  Speaker 10: I need to make sure all my papers in order
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: and make sure nothing goes. I'll play morbid here. Yeah,
• 49:44
  Speaker 10: welcome to baseball.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: But no, it is true though you're right ready, have
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: you guys?
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: I had a bad one.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Is this fresh in your mind? Is that? Well?
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: We were talking about it in the news. I hate
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to fly. I hate flying. I hate flying. And we
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: were flying down to.
• 49:58
  Speaker 11: A show and.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: I have a plane, and so we were flying that
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: plane and Amy's husband at the time, her EIKE's husband
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: was a was a pilot and was a you know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get too much of as air force pilot.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: And we hit some turbulence boom and he's used to
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: that crack get to him.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: He was like, this is awesome.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I thought we were dead. I thought we're dead. Yeah,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: And that was the closest we didn't die. A spoiler,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: we didn't die, but that was it. That was the
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: bad one.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: I got a quick story for you.
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: That's funny, you said, I just made me think of
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: actually one too. I have a friend that raised the
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: Indy Car and he's a pilot for his family's plane
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: and he hates to fly, hates to be in the
• 50:36
  Speaker 10: back seat, hates to go like we go on vacation.
• 50:39
  Speaker 10: He's like, I don't know if I should take the plane.
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: So I hates sitting in the back seat, in the
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: back back like he doesn't want to fly. He calls
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: it public because he just is so scared of it.
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: But so, Actually a funny story, Me and my friend
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: were flying to Kansas City. I bought part of this
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: company and so we were flying to Kansas City to
• 50:55
  Speaker 10: meet with someone and we rented a plane to the sky.
• 50:59
  Speaker 10: We found out was a friend of that guy, and
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: so he.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Was flying us there. Everything was perfectly fine. We're like
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: in a it.
• 51:05
  Speaker 10: Was like a new Leer. It was like the last
• 51:07
  Speaker 10: Lear jet that wasn't a jet it was. It looked
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: exactly like a nice Leer on the inside, but it
• 51:12
  Speaker 10: has two props. So we're flying home and we get
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: about halfway and it's a forty minute flight and all
• 51:19
  Speaker 10: of a sudden, the engines stall like and.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: You could hear it. And I'm looking at him.
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: He's looking at me, and it's like want that little
• 51:26
  Speaker 10: did And we start to drop a little bit and
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: we look at him and I'm like, is this it? Like,
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: you know, like quietly, you're just looking at him, like
• 51:33
  Speaker 10: what hopefully this think can glide right?
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: That's all I can think of.
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: And then it's like starts to really start to nose
• 51:39
  Speaker 10: that have a little bit and then it just goes
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: takes all and.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: He looks back at us and he goes sorry about that.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: He was just testing the reserve fuel. Buddy snapped and
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: he was like, you couldn't have done that. On the ground.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: He's like going off and he was like yelling and
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: I was like, I was white. I was just like,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: are you serious right now?
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: Like literally, league turned he went to pull it was
• 52:02
  Speaker 10: make sure the reserve worked, and it was old gas
• 52:04
  Speaker 10: with air in the tank, and he was just like
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: just cruising around board, so let's just check it out.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: And I was like, this is it.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even like how that made me feel and
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: that I mean, it was unbelievable. Final question, ever, stay
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: out way late, having a good time, and then have
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: to go play a game every day, like.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Every two hours too many times? Yeah?
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, maybe not two hours of sleep, but definitely
• 52:27
  Speaker 10: some been some long nights out.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: There on the road, more so than at home because.
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, and then had some really good games, really yeah,
• 52:34
  Speaker 10: really good games.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the key to the show sometimes at all
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: really drink? I don't, That's what I'm saying.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe I doesn't really drink.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you enjoy talking about baseball?
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Still? I do?
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: What people that that are interested, like in guys like
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: one of the guys coming out here in a few
• 52:52
  Speaker 10: minutes to hit I enjoy. You know, my son brings
• 52:56
  Speaker 10: his high school friends over, but they don't really listen.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: They listen, but they don't but like the Big.
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: League or guys, the guys come over from the team,
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: someone's about to come over now, and then guys like
• 53:06
  Speaker 10: spend time over here, and I really love listening to
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: what they say because it's funny that they still don't
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: really know if they know themselves or if they really
• 53:15
  Speaker 10: have it all under or but there, or they can't
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: fix themselves. They need somebody else that's been there, done
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: that to just say this is what I'm noticing out
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: of you. Because everyone has a different look and some
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: people don't look in the same area, Like a lot
• 53:27
  Speaker 10: of people look here and I look down. Usually it's
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: the base, the feet, stuff like that, not always the
• 53:33
  Speaker 10: hands or the head or whatever, and so it's just different.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: I think it's a lot of fun.
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: That part's fun in talking with somebody that has knowledge
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: and loves to talk back and forth and is open
• 53:41
  Speaker 10: to anything.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: It's cool, but just to talk.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: No, not really, but like nerds like me, and I'm like,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: tell me about this.
• 53:48
  Speaker 10: Love it, Like I can see that you like it,
• 53:50

  Speaker 10: I asked him crazy questions all the time and it's
• 54:14

  Speaker 3: that injury. But it's further down the foot. It's like
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: in the middle of my foot. What's the actual name
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: of it, evulsion Okay, the evulsion fraction before. Basically what

  Speaker 3: It's like on the side of my foot, but a
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: piece of my bone chipped off, Okay, and but it's
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: still together there with the cartilage or the ligament of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: it avulsion.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: And I don't want anybody to think that Eddie's going
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: through something easy. It sucks, But this is when they
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: can't do anything for you. Just gotta let it heal.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: It's a failure of bone in which a slight fragment
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: is pulled away from.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: The main body bone.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: They can occur in any area where soft tissues attached
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: to bone. Yeah, how serious is it? It needs care?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Can I walk on it? You need to wear a
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: boot for two weeks after your injury. Weeks, that's what
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: this says, I do. Don't no, no, no, no no no,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: this is Google.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, your dude, it looked awful.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: So what happens with working out now for you?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Guys?
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: The trainer says, just focus on upper body. You're to come,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: not today, but I am going to come.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: An avulsion fracture to your foot or ankle may require
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: a cast or walking boot in rare cases, if the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: bone fragment a main bone are too far apart, they
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: won't fuse naturally, but ninety percent of them they do.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: How long does it take to heal these types of fractures?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Usually hell within four to six weeks, six weeks in
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: the long end. So cool, Yeah, nice, it did look terrible. Yeah,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: it look like a baseball shoved under his skin. Mike,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: can you missed all this?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: I saw it.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 7: That was gross.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gross. I also saw a snake on Eddie's porch.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: Dude, what the crap? But it's a it's a rat snake,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: so like they're good, they're not venomous. So I didn't
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: kill it or anything. I was ready to if I
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: had to, or were you gonna kill it? Like if
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: it would have had a rattle, for sure it would
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: have shoveled it. Oh yeah, like we're not risking that.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: I agree with that, but my wife is like gallant, gallant,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, no, I guess it's a harmless snake.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: But it was on the fence headed towards my house,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: which is crazy. Like if we wouldn't have seen that snake,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: where would have gone in the house in the toilet?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: That is my worst nightmare.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: Simply looking for food or yeah, I mean that's what
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: all it's doing.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: It's either hurt.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: If it's coming toward the house where people are, it's
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: probably looking for food, or it's hurt and it's trying
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: to get to a place that it feels safe, like
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: some sort of shelteris type.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: Other than that, it's not trying to do.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Anything mean or bad, right, I mean, we take Eller
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: on this little hiking. I hate going for walks, but
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: I can go for a hike. It's a hard hike
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: where you go to the lake. No, it's this hiking.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It's pretty hard. It's a mountain or something.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know, go to the mountains.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know where we go, but it's like a two.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: And a half mile You're like my kids, they never
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: know where we are.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: But we've done it three times now. In the first
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: two we got lost, but we figured it out the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: last time. But Eller is for sure hound boy, and
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: she'll she'll almost point, like we had bird dogs back
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: in the day, and a bird dog just stopping point
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: and it will not move until you tell it to
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: move it. It will hold for thirty minutes. But Ella
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: will kind of semi point. But she'll be on and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: she'll see and hear things, and she's like run up
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of snakes that were right near us. We
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have seen it had she not seen it.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: That's nice, little heads up. Yeah, just keep walking No,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: she's like, hey, there's a snake here.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: My five year old found our snake. He comes, he
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: came in running.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Having his hand.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: He totally was just ad he came in with.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Basketball wise, make your prediction. Now we have to all
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: the way through, all the way through.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go with Boston with a with
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: a healthy Porzingis. I gotta go Boston. I mean this whole.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: But I don't think we can do with this or
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: without of this.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: I think you just kind of he'll be bad, but.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna be healthy. You think he's gonna finish.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: He hasn't played one single game. Sure you think all
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: of a sudden he's going to show up play.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's what you do in the NBA. Man, Like
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: you've been playing your whole life.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: He doesn't. He's playing his whole life. He still every
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: third game.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like the Kyrie Glass.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: What's his name, doctor Glass, Mike, mister Glass, the last Joe,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: the guy from mister Glass and Bruce Willis was the
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: opposite of him.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: Ye, pulp fiction, No, it's just called Glass.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was the sequel, but the real one
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: was and the whole time you kind of figure out
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: that he was unbreakable, That Bruce Willis was unbreakable.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: Is that the movie he's called Breakable? Ya figured it out?
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't didn't. So, but porzingis doesn't matter in or out.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Just picking a team, get how many game, Let's just
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: go with the sweep. I mean that's what they do now,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: right if they want to, or if they want.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: To just sweep.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: If they want to, let's go Celtics and four Kevin
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: Celtics and six. Okay, so I'm gonna go Are you
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: betting right now?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Because the Mavericks are plus one eighty five, I'm gonna
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: go two hundred bucks on the Mavericks to win five seventy.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: And I wonder if Minnesota gets in if they'll cancel
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: that bet.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: They will, I'm sure, yeah, you have to, right, I
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: don't know they have to.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of times they'll they'll avoid out a
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: bet if it's not able to be bet unless it's
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: plus one eighty five, because there's Minnesota still has a
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: chance to come back and win.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm taking Dallas or Minnesota.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: Are there four people?
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: Are there three people on the bet? Is Minnesota an
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: option on that.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: There are two options.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: There's plus one eighty five Dallas plus one eighty five Minnesota,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: So it's got to be either teams at plus.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: One eighty five. Yeah, right, who knows either.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Way it's gonna be over anyway, although I don't I
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: think Minnesota wins this one because they can't have it
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: just sit empty for nine days.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: I've said that the last two games, and like this
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: they can't. I mean, they got to have it, like
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: the Pacers, they got to win one.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Nat Well, I think the difference now is there will
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: be no game until what the sixth next Thursday.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 8: See.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: I say that all the time, though, and everyone's like,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: are you what are you saying it's fixed? Like, well,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: I mean no, but I mean kind of.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Everybody says that stuff all the time. You didn't create conspiracy.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no no. And what I'm saying is
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: nobody wants to admit that, like they could have Minnesota
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: win a game to extend the series or else there'd
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: be no basketball.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of people will admit where there's money, there's.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: Nefarious behavior, yes, but that's also saying it's fixed. So
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: would you know Kevin would say fixed.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say a fix.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I think there can be influence that affects the ending
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: of a game.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: That would be fixed. Lawyer, you're trying to do a
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: little lawyer terms over.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Here, would be for sure altering the outcome to the favor.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: Of the person.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: That's the same thing.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: No, it's not, because you can all you can influence
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: the game and still not win it.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why they would delayed the whistle again. They
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: did it again last night, Like.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 7: That's the Pacers did everything they could lose those games.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: I know, and the reps were also on their sides. Miles, miles.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: So let's say the reps, let's say the rest were
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: trying to extend the game. They did everything they possibly
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: freaking cold.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 7: And every real loss and they still lost.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: So that's not a fix.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: So the NBA influenced the game, said, what the hell goes?
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're like, hey, we're trying to influence this game.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 7: We shouldn't fix it.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: But they're in a meeting right now. What's the problem.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: We just couldn't fix it.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's it, let's end this thing. Thanks to Jim Edmonds,

  Speaker 3: I did tell Kevin that, I mean I have to

  Speaker 3: go to the orthopedic to go check up on it,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: because like all I have is urgent care and they

• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: really can't move my outer toes, so I don't know.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: Ligament damage is part of it.
• 1:13:49

• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not. I really wish that that's not the case,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: because if it is the case, I mean, you may
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: have to have surgery for that, right I did. Yeah,

• 1:14:03
  Speaker 8: like towards my ankle.
• 1:14:04

• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: And just rolled it in toward the ligaments. I had

  Speaker 4: to have surgery. Really, how long were you out after that?
• 1:14:11
