Maybe we said Gascon likely said something 134 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: that annoyed them and then they stopped listening.

Interesting, but you would 146 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: admit you have said things like that, and you like 147 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: to claim you have some work ethic, but you don't 148 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: usually show up to the body. My work ethic has 149 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: never been questioned, never questioned every week on this show. 150 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: But those are idiots that are questioning it. You included, uh, Carlos, 151 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: look in the mirror, Buddy. Carlos says, we all know 152 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: you hate retired numbers, Ben, but are you a fan 153 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: of baseball retiring number forty two?

But I wouldn't retire numbers across 158 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,599 Speaker 1: the board. That's just not not my thing. Is I 159 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: think it's lame. I think it's dumb. I think it's 160 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: it's It started out as a nice thing. It used 161 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: to be done when people would die, athletes would die, 162 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: while they were playing, you know, during their careers. Now 163 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: it's just gotten absurd, so stupid.

All right, uh, he says. 170 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: The NBA released a statement on the shopping case there 171 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: in Minnesota and apparently, uh the First Take show on 172 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: ESPN spent the entire show on the topic. When do 173 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: you think this in fusion of politics and sports will 174 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: be out of sports? And please don't say never, you won't. 175 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: Well at ESPN, I don't see that changing. I think 176 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: that's just their business model there. The you know, they're 177 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: trying to get democratic fans to watch and they don't 178 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: really care about Republican fans. I think that's pretty obvious. 179 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't think based on their position politically, I don't 180 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: think they'll change it. Fox e Tho though, uh no, 181 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: you know it could. They could lessen it, but it's 182 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: hard as we always say, we use the line to 183 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: put the toothpaste back in the tube, or to unpeel, 184 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: to unpeel the orange and then put the orange back together. 185 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: The one they can't unpeel the orange is once you 186 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: peel that, that's it. Now you can try to put 187 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: it back together, but it's not gonna the same. The 188 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: only unfortunate thing is you get guys that get out 189 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: in front of certain topics like this, and then all 190 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, if the roles or get reversed or 191 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: something goes against their narrative, they're nowhere to be fucking 192 00:10:52,640 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Seen's it's you know, run and hide and don't don't respond. Yeah, 193 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: that's Lebron, right, that's what Ron does. He just move on. 194 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: And the greatest example of that was the story with 195 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: the tweet the Raiders sent out. He had all this 196 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: virtue signaling and all these oh I'm offended, Oh my god, 197 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: I can't believe the Raiders tweeted that out. And to 198 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: Mark Davis's credit, he didn't bow down to the mob 199 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: of lunatics cyber thugs. He didn't bow down to him. 200 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: All the wokesters woke mcwoke and uh, it was really funny. 201 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: Some hack columnists. Somebody sent the story on NAHU. Some 202 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: hack columnists wrote a story condemning the Raiders for what 203 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: they had done, and Uh. The next day, George Floyd's 204 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: brother comes out and says, no problem with the Raiders. Oh, 205 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: I loved it. It was so good. He just buried. 206 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: George Floyd's brother buried all these these hacks in the 207 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: media was outstanding. Out body blow, body blow, body blow. 208 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: All right, Ozzy Momentum rights and he said, so, I 209 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: want to know what sport you are a hund percent 210 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: sure you could beat the other in. For example, Guesscon 211 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: could be fairly confident of beating being better than Ben 212 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: at baseball given that disgraceful pitch Ben throughout at Bakersfield. 213 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: And Ben could be confident that he could beat Gascon 214 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: at tennis given Gascon's shoulder being held together by duct 215 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: tape and his petulance for whining. Yeah, well, first of all, 216 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: you're wrong, Ozzy Momentum about that first pitch. I was 217 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: ahead of my time. In fact, that first pitch, that 218 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: lollipop breaking ball, Uh, was outstanding, and it was stolen 219 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: by a Minnesota twin. All right, we all saw in Anaheim. 220 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: While back there Angels and Twins blowout game the great 221 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: Asta Dio with a fat guy on the mound, and 222 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: he threw the Mallard pitch, the Mallard special. But let's 223 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: let's be our guesscon he's a quitter. He he's not 224 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: a competitie, doesn't have the fighting spirit. I would beat 225 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: him at anything. I would dominate him at any moneyball. 226 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: Mallard from the outside, I'd kill you one on one 227 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: game of a game of ben I would beat you 228 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: at that. You wouldn't be able to win that. You 229 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 1: have the chances bowling, and no, that's of course I 230 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: would win it bowling. But football dominate right throw the 231 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: ball further than you baseball. I'm a football player. I'm 232 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: a crafty right hander. I'm a crafty right hander. Uh 233 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: do very well at that. Not hockey. You can't hockey. 234 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: I would be wonderful. I've been on the ice with 235 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup twice in my life. I have been there, 236 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: so that's absolutely something. I've spent time with Lord Stanley Cup, 237 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: so that thing. But I've been there right when they 238 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: hoisted the cup right there, and you have no agility, 239 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: no balance, no coordination, Your sites fucked up. Your hearing 240 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: is not good to you. My sites? Fine, man, that's good. 241 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: Called glasses. None of these things called glasses. Maybe maybe bowling, 242 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: maybe ping pong, but boxing, oh god, you'd have no shot. 243 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: You would have no chance in boxing. Oh my god, 244 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: it would be a blood bath.

But I still still have fond memories 329 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: of that was one of the great moments of my childhood. 330 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: I during a game foul ball in the right field 331 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: corner of the Big A had seats right near the 332 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: foul poll. I ran over, fat kid, and Jeffrey Leonard 333 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: came over, scooped the ball up and tossed it and 334 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: I caught it, and I was outstanding. I didn't I 335 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: was worried it's gonna drop it. Didn't drop it. I 336 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: liked Kevin Mitchell back in the day, I made one 337 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: of the great catches in baseball history, one handed, bare 338 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: handed catch Bush Stadium in St. Louis. I don't like 339 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,239 Speaker 1: Will Clark because he's he was a dick and he 340 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: he killed me when he was at the Atlanta No. 341 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: He was with the Cardinals against the Atlanta Breaks. I 342 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: had a huge bet on the break for that, he says. 343 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: As a kid, baseball was my number one football as 344 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: as a as a kid, football was one. Uh and 345 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: and two Basketball three? I baseball was when he said, uh, 346 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: football too? In Basketball three he wrote that weird. Uh, 347 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: he says, Now football is number one. I haven't watched 348 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: baseball game in three years. Analytics have ruined it for me. 349 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: The same with basketball. Everything is a foul, no defense, 350 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: and all the players are selfish, soft like gag on 351 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: you a bad example for kids. That's a good point, Jose. 352 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: Do you think you'll ever get to that point? PS 353 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: bring back Brian Finlay?

I'd like to think that I 357 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: love sports. It's changed the way I watch sports has 358 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: changed with the politics policizing of sports. But no, I 359 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: not on think it's gonna you know, I'm gonna completely stop. 360 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: I'd like to think not, but you never know what 361 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: the you know what the what the future hold holds. 362 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: And and I hear from guys all the time, and 363 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm not watching sports because of politics, and I I 364 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: don't agree with the politics of a lot of these 365 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: idiots in sports, but I still think it's stupid to 366 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: not watch. I mean, just because somebody has a different viewpoint. 367 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: I just don't like being preached to. I don't care 368 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: le Bron James is a lunatic politically, that's he can 369 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. But if you're preaching from the 370 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: bully pulpit, that is to me, that's I don't I 371 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: don't watch sports for that. So but you know, everyone 372 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: has the right to have their own viewpoint. I don't 373 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: don't care about that right to be wrong. Um, but 374 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: you don't like if if I worked for somebody that 375 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: I didn't agree with him, I gonna quit my job. 376 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that's that's how that would go anyway. 377 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: In any response to Jose is a big fan of 378 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: your work, he says soft, like a gag on.

I don't know how 402 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: I've missed it my entire life, but I watched it 403 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,719 Speaker 1: on PBS over the weekend. I enjoyed the history telling. 404 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: I was wondering, you know, what you thought of it, 405 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: and if you have any suggestions on other cool baseball 406 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: history books or documentaries that every fan should have in 407 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: their library. Uh. Yeah, I mean there's a bunch of 408 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: baseball documentaries that you know it's hard. Off the top 409 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: of my head, the Baseball Card one, which is it 410 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: was made a couple of years ago, exposing the upper 411 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: deck scandal again opening up a wound. If you're around 412 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: my age, I don't know how hold your, Mitch, but 413 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: maybe you're a little younger, maybe a little older. But 414 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: that was a big one for me. There was a 415 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: documentary about a minor league baseball team in Oregon in 416 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: Portland that was pretty good. I saw that. Oh and Screwball. 417 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: Remember Screwball? That was the one about Alex Rodriguez and 418 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: the Biogenesis Clinic. That was a very good documentary. That 419 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: was a few years ago. And I have a fond 420 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: memory of the Baseball documentary from Ken Burns. I was 421 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: working at the Mighty six ninety in San Diego when 422 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: that came out in the nineties, and I was I 423 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: was a lowly peon at the radio station, and they 424 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: felt bad for me because I was I was getting 425 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: no money and I was a you know, low man 426 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: on the Total Bowl and they hooked me up with 427 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: the Baseball and that was a big deal. I have 428 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: the I had. I just got rid of it recently. 429 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: But the VHS copy that's a whole long ago. This 430 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: was of the Ken Burns Baseball documentary, but it was 431 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: well done. He also says, Mitch, do you think they 432 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: should make a sequel to cover the nineties the steroid here, 433 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: the cheating, as strows, well, that would be great. I 434 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: I actually subscribe to the doc PBS as like a documentary. 435 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: I love documentary, so they have a documentary streaming service. 436 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: It's pretty much all ken burn stuff, which is cool. 437 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: And uh, and you know, Burns his great I thought 438 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: I were trying to cancel him. Weren't they the lunatics 439 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: trying to cancel Ken Burns? The uh, the woke mob 440 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: was upset because Ken's white and that's problematic and they 441 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: had to get him out of there. And there's a 442 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: lot of layers though with baseball these days, just the nineties, 443 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: like you mentioned the ownership that turned a blind eye 444 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 1: to that stuff, and then you know the Red Sox 445 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: one of the World Series, and people are ending the 446 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: Curse of the banding of the Cubs, ending the curse 447 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: of the Billy Goat. Well, you could just talk to 448 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: about Manny and David Ortiz, right, Like those are two 449 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: guys that were using p E. D s that obviously 450 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: helped them get over the top them come. But just 451 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: just you could do two documentaries, one each on the 452 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: Curse of the ban Being, which I'm sure has already 453 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: been done, and then the Billy Goat and or combine 454 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: those things together. Nome. When I was a kid, I 455 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: my brother moved to New York when I was in 456 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: high school, and I went back to visit him. First time, 457 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: went to a Yankee game at the old Yankee Stadium 458 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: and they were playing the Red Sox and the Red 459 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: Sox weren't very good. But I still remember I and 460 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: the bleachers because I wanted to be in the bleachers 461 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: because I had heard things about the bleacher creatures and 462 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: it was pretty well because there were like women fighting 463 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: with women in the bleachers. The Yankee state in the 464 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: game I went to. It was pretty crazy. But now 465 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: I heard it's all corporate. Now it's all they've raised 466 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: the prices and everything. But it was expensive then. But 467 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: the fans like the Red Sox. Uh anytime the Yankees 468 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: did anything, and the Yankee Bleacher Creatures were nineteen eighteen nineteen. 469 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: It was great. It was out standing. Fond memories of that. Emmett, 470 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: the blind Seahawk fan, this kid is the breakout star. 471 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: What a wonderful caller he is.

You're stress eating 483 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: because you could not get a media credential from the Rams, 484 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: so you went home you burned. That is true. But 485 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: I like, I'm gonna stick into the Rams because they 486 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: were they were playing the Buccaneers who had Jamis Winston, 487 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: who were terrible, and they wouldn't let me in.

So we've been moving some stuff 534 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: around the Mallard mansion. Again, we'll tell you later why 535 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: we're doing that. But we're moving some stuff around, like 536 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: inside and outside, redecorating some stuff, and uh, you know 537 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: that some stuff was taken outside. And uh, let's just 538 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: say that it was it was a night. I was 539 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 1: doing the show this week, and I didn't really I 540 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: hadn't seen Bella the Dog my dog in a while. 541 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: I have a studio and I do the show and 542 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: Bella sometimes sits in with me when I do the show. 543 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 1: Usually not, She's bored with it. Like every woman in 544 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: my life. Anybody in radio knows this. When you tell 545 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: a woman you're dating you're in radio, they were very 546 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: excited to listen to everything you do for the first 547 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: like couple of shows, and then about a week later 548 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: they never listened again. Happens all the time. So so anyways, like, well, 549 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: Bella got bored with me. She's so then like it's 550 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: like two in the morning and I hear this like 551 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: scratching sound on the door, like the door to the 552 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: outside from my studio, and so I hear the scratching sound, right, Like, 553 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: what the fund is that? Is there? Like a wild 554 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: animal out there? Is I got coyote or a skunk? 555 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: And I I opened up the door and I don't 556 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: see anything. I'm like, whoa, Like I'm in the twilight zone, man, 557 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: Like what the funk happened, and so like, all right, 558 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: I go back, I do the show, and then I 559 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: I wrapped up the show and I'm kind of winding 560 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: down and I hear it again, and I text my wife. 561 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: I said, well, there's an animal outside my door and 562 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: it's I looked at I didn't see anything. What is 563 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: going on? And she said, probably Bella. I said, no, no, 564 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: it's not Bella. And I go through the house to 565 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: try to find Bella. Can't find Bella. So I don't 566 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: hear the noise noise anymore. I go back out. I 567 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: then open the door with the flashlight and there is Bella, 568 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: freezing her ass off, shivering, sitting by the door, waiting 569 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: for me to open the door. She had spent all night, 570 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: probably from like seven o'clock in the evening until two 571 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: in the morning or three actually by this point it 572 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: was like three in the morning, uh, sitting outside, And 573 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: so we almost loved Bella could have run away, she 574 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: could have been like in another state by the time 575 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: I figured out that she was outside. That's my Bella story. 576 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: How how cold do you think it was? I mean 577 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't that was California cold.

And if so, 589 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: did you have a specific player you emulated? Keep the 590 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: podcast coming. Oh yeah, listen, I was an amazing basketball 591 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: player in the Moneyball Mallard originated in the backyard at 592 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion. The hoop there had fun, but I 593 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: would play baseball for hours with the tennis ball. We 594 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: used to play street ball in the neighborhood. And we 595 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: had in that house we grew up in, we had 596 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: eucalyptus trees, these giant eucalyptus trees in the in there's 597 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: like a green belt in the middle of the street, 598 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: and so it was perfect. The way the driveway was 599 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: lined up. There were three of these eucalyptus trees, and 600 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: so we had first base, second base, and third base, 601 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 1: each of each giant these massive trees were were and 602 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: so we did that. But then I would I was 603 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: such a loser. I had no friends for a while 604 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: that I would just for hours throw the tennis ball 605 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: against the wall and I would imagine, you know, I 606 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: was you know, any number of players. I would go 607 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: through the list because I'd watch This Weekend Baseball and 608 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: then I was Dodging fan. But I watched This Weekend 609 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: Baseball and be like, oh, you know, they do some 610 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: vignette on Ozzy Smith, you know, because he was a player, 611 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: a big star in those days, and I'd be the 612 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz, you know, and I'd be like, all right, 613 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: and then I'd make these plays back, you know, going 614 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: there and and then uh, you know, behind the back 615 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: throws and things like. I mean, it was crazy. I 616 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: was good, and obviously football, but football I knew I 617 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: was gonna be alignment. So I channeled some of the 618 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: the alignment of the day. What about you guess, and yeah, 619 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: I I mean I thought about growing up, I thought 620 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: about playing outside of basketball. I thought about playing every 621 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: sport professionally. But I was really good in hockey, but 622 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: my parents couldn't afford the insurance for for goal equipment. 623 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 1: And then, um, I played baseball in college and football 624 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: in college, and I thought I was I was better 625 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,760 Speaker 1: in football, but my dad thinks I had more talented baseball. 626 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: And I'm left handed and I was a picture. Um 627 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: but I love. That's a tough racket though, baseball. Man. 628 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: I had a buddy in high school that was a 629 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: very good player. And actually the first time I went 630 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: to a couple high school with the first high school 631 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: I went to, and he got drafted and he toiled 632 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: in the minor leagues. He never made the big leagues, 633 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: and he was in the minor leagues. He got he 634 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: got you know, double A. Had a couple of buddies 635 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: he got to double A. One guy was with the 636 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: Blue Jays and he was like there. He was their 637 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: second rated minor league prospect in a ball and he 638 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: got to double A and he did okay, and then 639 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: he went to triple and couldn't hit. I just forgot 640 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: how to hit and then he never never made it. 641 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I grew up.

I love John Elway, but 643 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm you know, left handed and half any left hand 644 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks outside of Steve Young, and so I tried to 645 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: emulate Shinnon Sharp, you know, as a great ship talker. 646 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: But he was a was a great receiver even at 647 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: tight end. I was a better blocker than new Ones. 648 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: But um, but yeah, man, I Well, the one guy 649 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: that I remember was was like I kept reading these 650 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: mythical lumber lumberjack stories about this guy was Tony Manderidge. 651 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: Who was this offensive lineman. Well he was. He was 652 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: at Michigan State and he was the second overall pick. 653 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: We talked to Ryan Leef the other day, who was 654 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: one of the great NFL draft bus But Tony Manderish 655 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: he didn't get as much attention from being a disaster 656 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 1: because he was an offensive lineman. But he was drafted 657 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: by the Green Bay Packers in the late eighties and 658 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: was who I guess, he was a total fraud. He 659 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: was all like a steroid guy and he just couldn't play. Yeah, 660 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: but I thought I'd read these stories and I believed everything. 661 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: At that time, I was not naive and Jay and 662 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: I believed everything I read, and you know, the eyes 663 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: of a child. I was like, you know, a teenager, 664 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: and I was like, whoa, this guy is great, you know, 665 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: highly touted at Michigan State and and this this guy 666 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: he was in this draft class. Think about the other 667 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: players that draft had Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, Dion Sanders, 668 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 1: Derek Thomas, and Tony Mandrich. Who doesn't belong on that list? Man, 669 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: it's I mean, obviously Derrick Thomas passed away too early, 670 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: but fuck yeah, he's the only one of those top 671 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: five picks that did not end up in the Pro 672 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Unbelievable. Yeah, and that's the guy I 673 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: gravitated to right there. That's my guy that was going 674 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: to be the guy right there that was going to 675 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: be it. So there you go.
