1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Made it to a Thursday opening day Baseball Masters getting

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: underway a little bit later. They had some rain overnight,

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: a lot of rain, and they've delayed the tea times

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: by about a half hour. So Tiger's going to tee

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: off around eleven o'clock and we'll keep an eye on it.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Wright Thompson, one of the

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: best writers in America, not just sports writers. He works

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: for the Mothership. He's done profiles on Urban Meyer, Michael Jordan,

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. When he goes in, he goes in, he

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: takes a deep dive, and we thought he'd be great.

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: He'll join us from Augusta as he's writing about Tiger

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: Woods there. Mike Piazza, the Hall of Famer, we'll join

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: us a little bit later on. He's in Italy and

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: Fritzie tracked him down. We thought he might be a

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: good guy to talk to about the new technology that

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: catchers are going to have, that they're going to have

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: a device on their wrist and they're able to signal

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: to the pitcher, communicate with the pitcher of a pitch

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: and location without putting down to sign so nobody can

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: steal the signs. So we'll ask Mike Piazza what he

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: thinks about the new technology and what could go wrong. Yeah, Eaton,

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: who Mike Piazzazz He'll join us from Italy in the

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: final hour of the show. Man. That sounds like a

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: pretty good gig if you're Mike Piazza. Yeah, Paul, he

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: lives there full time. Now I don't know. I know

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: he went to the Mets camp, but I think his

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: wife is from there. I've been to Vera Beach, Florida,

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: and I've been to Italy. I know where I'm living. Yeah, Seton,

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: He like did the thing where you know, if you're

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: sitting around and you're like, man, if I won the lottery,

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: I'd moved to Italy and do it. He did that. Yeah,

Speaker 1: we're Gonzaga. I think now we get dominated. People have

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,520

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,360

45

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: to back. Let's change it up a little. Let's try

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: it and see what a year's worth of winning looks like.

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to do to you, guys,

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,960

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: maybe you change and you don't even realize you've changed. Yes, point,

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: as I've said the last four years years, I'm already

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: caught of a jerk. Might as well get the hardware.

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: You know, my mantel is barren. Yes, time, when do

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: you go from lovable losers to just playing losers? You

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: have to have many years of getting it. Well, well,

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: the Cubs did it for one hundred and eight years,

59
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: so we got one hundred and eight nominees. Uh, one

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: hundred and eight years. Yeah, Polly so Outstanding Daily Studio Show,

61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,440

62
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: we don't win, or whatever day of the week. No,

63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday. They announced it at the it's the end

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: of May. Okay. Jim Kelly the Bills calls and says,

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: how's it feel to lose five in a row? You know? Wow?

66
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: Susan Lucci, Oh, I think she was seventeen. It might

67
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: have been eighteen that she was nominated the Daytime Emmys,

68
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: and I think I think it was eighteen that she

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: whipped on. Yes see, I kind of I have a

70
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: little bit of problem with Sports Center being nominated. Oh boy, yeah,

71
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I agree, because not all seventeen hours of Sports Center

72
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: per can be that great. I feel like you got

73
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: to pick one. Oh okay, there's like there's thirty seven

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: different hosts and one hundred and fifty million different producers

75
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: doing all different times a day. Which one is the

76
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: one that's nominated the eleven or the six or are

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: they both that great? That's that? That is true, Just

78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: saying maybe they should take a three hour window sample

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: and then say, now, judge Sports Center on that some

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: of them are probably better than others. No offense, yeah, yes,

81
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: and a lot of it is highlights. How do you

82
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: compare highlights to three hours of talk and banter and

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: comedy and all the things we at least we attempt

84
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: to do. I'm just curious how that worked. Yes, yes, Bully, Like,

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: is the Randy Scott Sports Center the one that's nominated

86
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: this year? Is it the Scott Van Pelt Sports Center?

87
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Because those are different times a day? Right, Sage Steel? Right, yeah,

88
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Hannah's storm. I have all the nominees, Dan if you

89
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: want to hear him. Okay, NASCAR Race Hub on FS one.

90
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,320

91
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: Race Hub where that's the one. As soon as I

92

93
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: We're friendly with the NASCAR peeps. We had a lot

94
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: of Nascar together, but if you look back, we lose

95
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: two specialized shows like that, and that's the that's the one.

96

117
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: Marvin Now if we win this year, what would be

118
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: the biggest difference between the past four years in this

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: past year? Well, well, no, no, hold on, Marvin, you

120
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: can't say we because you weren't part of what this

121
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: is based on, and that's the previous year. Marvin's got

122
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: the wrong year. Yeah, unfortunately, I'm sorry, Marvin's. If last

123
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: we don't get nominated next year, then we're gonna be

124
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: able to go where it's gonna be. Marvin, So, what

125
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: changed this year as opposed to the previous five? No, Look,

126
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: we we want to invite mclovin to sit with us

00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: a guaranteed win next year? Oh? I don't. I don't

133
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: want to win just to spike mclovin. No, I know,

134
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying be good content. I mean it would

135
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: be good content, yes, And you know that that would

136
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: embolden Marvin, so he'd feel a little bit more like

137
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: one of us a guaranteed win though, or well, let's

138
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: see what happens this year. I'd rather see what happens. Yes, Fritze,

139
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: which one of us would they not be handing the

140
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: award to? Who would be the least safe to actually

141
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: handle the award? Ohto that Hemmy statue is ginormous. Yeah,

142
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: you know what? We just this. We should practice this

143
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: during the commercial break one of the Sports Emmys. I

144
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: could get one of those down off the trophy shelf

145
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: and then we could hand it to Marvin. See how

146
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: he does. And small hands, Joe. Could we ask for

147
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: a smaller Sports Emmy? They could probably do? All right,

148
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: what's the poll question we have today, Seaton Dan, We

149

Speaker 1: have got a couple of Paul passed options that are

150
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: always a lot a lot a lot of you know,

151
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: when you walk in not many places you walk into

152
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: and some you know, another man says, I've got a

153
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: hot pole for you, and I go, thank you? Alrighty, great,

154
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: all right? And I know what Paul he's talking about?

155
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: Sports radio or a steam bat. There's only two. Here,

156
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: you go. You can go to a baseball game, like

157
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: a Major League Baseball baseball game, but you can only

158
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: do one eat anything you want, go to the concession stands,

159
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: eat all nine innings, or have beers. That's a toughie.

160
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I magine going nine innings without a beer,

161
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: but nine innings without a brot or a hot dog

162
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: or whatever, nachos and a helmet. Oh, I would take

163
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the beers. That's a ridiculous answer. Why hot dogs, nachos, pretzels,

164
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: ice cream? Well, you don't drive a bottle of water

165
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: Percy's first three innings, by the way, Yeah, and not

166
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: everybody can eat that much in a nine inning game.

167
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: Is a chicken sandwich and the fries and the hot

168
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: dog and the burger. I saw you at the MAVs

169
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: game that was years ago, and you had not I

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: think there were nachos in there. All I saw was cheese,

171
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: and I went, oh my god. I think I had

172
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: a hot dog and one hand to hamburger, then handed

173
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: nachos like in my lap and my best. My favorite

174
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: part of that is Todd described it as I was

175
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: partying pretty hard. For me, that's pretty hard. I had

176
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: a bite like a food buzz going with my giant mountain. Dude.

177
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: It's great giant pretzel balanced on my head. Whatever you

178
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: gotta do. What What are the other pole questions? Well,

179
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: you know it's funny too about that one. There's something

180
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: about sitting in the stands of a sporting event that

181
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: make you very thirsty and very hungry. And I don't

182
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: know why, but I have a hard time not eating

183
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: and definitely not having a beer. Well, if it's a

184
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: hot Saturday afternoon, oh okay, you gotta let me know.

185
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be an April game with the weather,

186
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, shaky, then I'm probably having food. But if

187
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: it's a nice sunny day out there, even though you're

188
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: having your Dodger dog, I think I'm gonna have a beer. Yeah. Dad,

189
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: I've been to baseball games with you, and we could

190
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: be going to a game in Fairbanks a last four

191
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: degrees that you'd have a beer. I went to a

Speaker 1: ball game. It was so cold. It was unbelievably cold.

195
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: It was in the forties. And you're out there and

196
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: I and I'm drinking a beer behind home plate, and uh,

197
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: I just it's like I'm at a ball game. I

00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: in my beer halfway through it? Yes, don you wants

201
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: led us to believe we were singing the seventh stretch. No, no, no,

202
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't. I don't know. You might have been that.

203
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: I promise you. If I could have been in on that,

204
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: I would have been in on that. When I sang

205
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: take me out to the ball game, and I had

206
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: the Danets to join me, and then Darius Rucker is

207
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: the one who text me and he said, decent job.

208
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: But the Danets, no, their microphones weren't on, and I went,

209
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, they didn't do that. Yep. So I

210
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: went to the cubs and I said to somebody that

211
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: the guy who was the technician, I said, were there

212
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: microphones on? He goes, no, why can't you lie to us?

213
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: And Fritzie and she was singing like he was Lionel

214
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: Richie had my eyes closed, Lionel, why are my headphones? Now? No?

215
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: You were you had your eyes closed? And it stake.

216
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: I pretended I was on stage at American Idol and

217
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: I was. I felt bad, and then I thought, do

218
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: I break the news to the Danets and I thought

219
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: I should do it just so somebody else doesn't do it,

220
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, Fritzie, I felt bad. I'm so bummed.

221
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: I still have that cub shirt, that Cub's hat we

222
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: have that says like seven Ginning stretched singer or whatever,

223
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: still holding on. That was a lot of fun. It's

224
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: good content. Yeah, it was. If you don't know by

225
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: now listening to this show, it's all about the content.

226
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: That's what I tell the guys. Look, this may hurt,

227
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: this may sting a little bit, you may be embarrassed

228
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: about this, but at the end of the day, what

229
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: we do is for this audience, and it's content, and

230
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: once you get past that, then I think you can

231
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: live with some of the humor that we take. Yeah, Paul,

232
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: you remember went to Miller Park and it wasn't opening day,

233
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: but we got to go to Miller Park, I think

234
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: our second visit there, and they said one of us

235
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: could throw out the first pitch, and we put all

236
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: Fritzie's names in the hate Fritzie and actually we set

237
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: you up to throw out the first pitch at Miller Park.

238
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: It was actually a nice thing. That was a complete honor.

239
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: That part was cool. But then I watched it back

240
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: and I'm well sweaty in this white We didn't tell

241
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: you to wear a wore a tank time. Yeah, I

242
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: just looked beyond. But but we put a GoPro on

243
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: Fritzie too. When he went out, he looked like a

244
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: big kid who had issue things to one. You dress yourself, todd,

245
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: so that's not our fault. And you can also say

246
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: no to something. I say the words I don't want

247
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: to do that. I was so excited that I legitimately

248
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: was like that you picked my name out of the group.

249
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: I had no idea. You guys scammed me, like the scammed.

250
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,719

311
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: from Augusta. What baseball hat do you have on there?

312
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: This is one of the Atlanta Braves Monor League affiliates.

313
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: So they were handed out Monor League hats in the

314
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: press room. So I had to find, you know, the

315
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: closest to the Braves I could get. All right, looks good,

316
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: are you in the press room right now? I am,

317
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: in fact in the press room right now? All right?

318
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Conditions and how will they affect today's golf in particular Tiger, Well,

319
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean it rained all at our rental house. I

320
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: mean it was keeping everybody up. He was raining that

321
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: hard and it rained all this morning, raised creek is up.

322
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, as you know, they have incredible technology here,

323
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: so they can suck a lot of water out of

324
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: the fairway, but it'll be a slog for the fans

325
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: moving around. I mean, they can get the water off

326
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: the course, but everything else will be a mudpit. How's

327
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: that going to affect Tiger? I think anything that makes

328
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: walking harder. I mean, I think cold in the morning

329
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: is hard. I mean he talks about that the other

330
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: day that you know, his leg is full of plates

331
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: and rods and screws, and you know there's something there's

332
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: something interesting and beautiful about watching his main opponent now

333
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: just be the ravages of time and injury as opposed

334
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: to other golfers. So I mean walking is hard for him.

335
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: You know, you start to look at this and it

336
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: feels like it's an optimist stick bet that the gamblers

337
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: are saying that Tiger making the cut, Tiger winning. And

338
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: one sports book in Vegas said, the realistic gods are

339
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: about two hundred to one. What chances would you give

340
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Tiger to win the Masters? You know, you learned a

341
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: long time ago in professional sports writing that the rules

342
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: are you know, every dinner is twenty four ninety nine

343
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: and don't ever bet against Tiger Woods, and so, I mean,

344
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: I would never do that. And you know, I look

345
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: up at the you know them looking right now at

346
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: the people who were starting, and you know, I don't

347
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: see a lot of guys who want to go head

348
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: to head with Tiger on the back mound on Sunday

349
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: if he can get there. So, I mean, you know,

350
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: two hundreds to one, sure. I mean, fourteen months ago,

351
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: this guy was in a hospital bed. He stayed there

352
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: for three months, and then into a wheelchair, and then

353
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: in two crutches, and then a step, then two steps.

354
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: So the fact that he's able to walk his staggering,

355
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like just seeing him show

356
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: up here and walk around the course is a herculean

357
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: thing to see. I mean, I can't imagine him being

358
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: in contention on Sunday, but if he is, he's very dangerous.

359
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: And you've done a deep dive on Tiger. We've talked

360
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: about this before in some of your appearances, and you

361
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: said something that stayed with me, and that is that

362
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: Tiger there was a stretch where he didn't like golf.

363
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: He was great at golf, but he didn't like golf.

364
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: Where is he now in his life and what does

365
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: golf mean to him? I mean, I think he likes

366
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: playing with his son. I think it's a very very

367
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: different game. I mean, you know, the first you and

368
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: I talked, I think it was I don't remember. I

369
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: don't remember the context, but we were talking about, you know,

370
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: what's he still playing for? And you know, until he

371
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: won the Master several years ago. You have to remember

372
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: his kids had never actually seen him be Tiger Woods,

373
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, they had never They didn't remember that. You know,

374
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: he joked his kids thought he was a YouTube golfer.

375
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think golf is something you know,

376
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: he gets to do with his son. Now, you know,

377
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: his son came and played his practice rounds here at

378
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: Augusta with him. It also like, in some ways, the

379
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: pain is probably the point more than the golf, you know,

380
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: the overcoming of it. It's it's more of a challenge

381
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: for him to get out of that bed and walk

382
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: again than it is to beat the current golfers. Like

383
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: the challenge. You know, he's a challenged guy. You know,

384
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: like a lot of people we've covered over the year,

385
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: Dan and years, Dan, and I mean just he said

386
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: something Tuesday that really stuck with me, which is that

387
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, he would decide when it was over, and

388
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: I think that has a lot a lot to do

389
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: with what we're watching. You remember the first time you

390
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: interviewed him? Do I remember? What do you remember the

391
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: first time you interviewed Tiger? I remember I was here.

392
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: I was here the year after he won so in

393
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand and three, and he seemed so young

394
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: and strong and invincible. I mean, that's what I remember.

395
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: He walked in the room. I was like, this guy's jacked,

396
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, now the hairline is in full retreat. Uh,

397
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: he's you know, has that big upper body. Uh. But

398
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: you know he sort of walks like that. You know,

399
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: the guy walks around the gym and still thinks he's young,

400
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: you know. I mean like he kind of has that

401
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 1: walk and uh he's a forty six year old man.

402
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: And you know. The thing I'm curious about is, as

403
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: I know, I'm excited to watch this today, but I'm curious,

404
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: like what is this about for him? You know? I

405
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: mean I think if I can give him truth, sir,

406
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: and That's what I'd want to know, Like, what what

407
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: what is this exactly. And you've talked about spending time

408
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: and that he wanted to be a Navy seal. You know,

409
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: you know that that was probably more important to him

410
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: than whatever golf was going to bring to him. Yeah,

411
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, we had that that the

412
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: book out a couple of years ago, The Cost of

413
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: These Dreams, that has that that story you're talking about,

414
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: that Tiger's story in it, and yeah, I mean the

415
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: through line between that and this is that the overcoming

416
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: of pain and the overcoming of your own limitations in

417
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: some ways is more interesting to him than getting around

418
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: a golf course and less strokes than some of his

419
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: current peers. You know. I mean one of the things

420
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: I've been thinking he's been thinking a lot about, certainly,

421
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: is Ben Hogan, who in nineteen forty nine was driving

422
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: his Cadillac from Dallas to El Paso and through the

423
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: ice in the fog, and a Greyhound bust tried to

424
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: pass a truck and just hit him head on. I mean,

425
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: it almost killed him, and then he almost died in

426
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: a hospital from blood clots. And he came back. They

427
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: never they didn't think he was gonna walk again, and

428
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: he came back a very diminished version of himself in

429
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: his opinion, but won six more majors. And you know,

430
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Tiger is very well aware that if he would have

431
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: had his car wreck in nineteen forty nine, he would

432
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: not be playing today. But you know he was very

433
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: gracious and thinking the whole army of surgeons and physical

434
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: therapists and physios and you know, I mean his peers

435
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: now are people like Ben Hogan, not people like Dustin Johnson.

436
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: We're talking to, right Thompson, ESPN senior writer joining us

437
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: from Augusta. I couldn't help but think of you when

438
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: urban Meyer was let go by Jacksonville because you profiled

439
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: him and you know he's wired differently. What happened? Are

440
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: you surprised what happened in Jacksonville with urban Meyer? You know,

441
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: I mean one of the things that's interesting as you

442
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 1: you know, you write stories for a long time. Uh,

443
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: some of them, if you're lucky, sort of become even

444
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: more true as time goes by. And you know that

445
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: that urban story I think is in that collection as well,

446
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: the Costs of these dreams. But Urban is uh is

447
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: when I left him at the end of that story,

448
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: he felt like a person who was on a knife's

449
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: edge and could go one of two ways. And you

450
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: know who was aware of his own worst impulses and

451
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: was working and actually, you know, in my opinion, at

452
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: the end of that story failing to control them, and

453
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: clearly that seems like what's happened. You know that I

454
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: don't enable allowed to be the worst version of himself.

455
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: You've done so many profiles. I just read one that

456
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: you did on Mike SHASHEVSKIH called, uh, you know coach

457
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: K's last March or final March. I think, yeah, you

458
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: know those kind of guys. Joe Paterno was going to

459
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: coach until he died. Brett Musburger said that to me,

460
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: certain coaches, you know, Bear Bryant, they're just guys. Retirement

461
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: scares people. Does retirement scare Coach K. I don't think

462
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: he thinks so, But I also don't think he fully

463
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: appreciates what life will be like when he is no

464
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: longer Coach K. I think he's tired. I think, like

465
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, he doesn't want to cheat the

466
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: process because the joy is in the process, not in

467
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: the results. You know, the joy of being a basketball

468
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: coach is staying up all night with your assistance and

469
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: ordering a four am pizza and watching film. I mean

470
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: those kinds, you know, quick turnarounds off, tight travel schedules.

471
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: So I think the grind is the job as opposed

472
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: to being something you endure to do the job. And

473
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think he could do it anymore. And

474
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he was willing to look at himself

475
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: in the mirror, because you know, those assistant coaches would

476
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: have covered for him forever, you know, like Joe Paterno's

477
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: assistance covered for him, you know. I mean that was

478
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: the thing no one wanted to say when all of

479
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: that was going up, is that he hadn't actually been

480
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: the head coach in a very long time. And that

481
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: was not true with Coach k. I mean, he was

482
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: fully in charge until the last horn blew. And so

483
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's going to do in retirement,

484
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: but I think he just couldn't do the job the

485
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: way he knew it needed to be done. Who do

486
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: you think is going to win the Masters? Man? I'm

487
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: looking right now. Honestly, I don't think Royal Rory McElroy,

488
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: who I have no factual okay, you know, uh, you know,

489
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by Rory. I don't know if you ever

490
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: spend any time with him, I really have it. But

491
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: he seems like he is very, very self aware and

492
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: like understands how understands the ways in which this matters

493
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: and the ways in which it doesn't. So I don't know,

494
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: I enjoy He's one of my favorite interviews because he

495
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: he does give you. He thinks about what you're asking

496
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: him and gives you an honest answer, or at least

497
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: the appearance of an honest answer. And that's all we

498
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: can ask for when we're doing, you know, these interviews, Well,

499
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: just for someone to be engaged in the thought experiment

500
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: of it all. Yeah, you know that, Like you know,

501
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: I'm not the boogeyman. I'm I have this question and

502
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: let's try to figure out an answer to great to

503
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: talk to you. I hope the family's good and I

504
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: still have to cross pats and have bourbon with you.

505
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm so. Julian van Winkle is in my

506
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: master's house this week. He's here for the tournament. So

507
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: he wanted me to ask you how much of that

508
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: whiskey was left? Um, tell Pappy, I probably need another

509
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: another bottle of fifteen if I can. Well, yeah, well,

510
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, we'll tell Pappy. As soon as you sell

511
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: us a bunch more books, we'll get you another one.

512
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: Great to talk to you, right YouTube man, have a

513
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: great day, Thank you, buddy. Yeah, that's a Pappy van Winkle.

514
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: And if you're a bourbon person then you know about Pappy.

515
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: And Pappy is very expensive. Not you know, if you

516
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: get it, it doesn't cost you a lot, but by

517
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: the time you get on his secondary market, then it

518
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: can cost you a couple of thousand dollars. Yeah, Seed,

519
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a lot of rock stars

520
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: in the whiskey world. But Julian, oh yeah, who write

521
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: just reference there? Yeah, absolutely one. Yeah, yeah, Julian is uh,

522
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: he is Pappy van Winkle. Yeah, Paul new Poule. Question,

523
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: would you rather attend the Masters or hang out at

524
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: right Thompson's house? At the Masters? It's close. I like

525
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: Right Thompson. You know, he's just he's just one of

526
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: those he goes where the story is or he makes

527
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: it a story, and he's just a wonderful writer. And

528
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: his ability to profile but also get into the inner workings.

529
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: You know. I don't like when we try to play

530
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: like armchair therapist. You know, you're trying to figure somebody

531
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: out like that. It's just you figure them out, but

532
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: you let them sort of figure themselves out. You're not

533
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: asking these questions as much as they're telling you things.

534
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: And that's what Right has this ability to do, is

535
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 1: letting you sort of discover what maybe you didn't realize

536
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: about yourself. A couple of phone calls in here and

537
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: then uh poll question Seaton. Yeah, we had another fun

538
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: one actually based off this is one from Pauli's It's

539
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: slightly tweaked. Okay, based off our guest today, I'd rather

540
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: have tickets to the Masters this weekend with Right Thompson

541
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: or a trip to Italy with Mike Piazza. Excuse me who,

542
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: because Right Thompson seems like the kind of guy you

543
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: can spend a weekend with SIPs some drinks, be really

544
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: really interesting. A trip to Italy, though, is awesome. I'm

545
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: gonna take the Masters with Right Thompson because if Pappy

546
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: van Winkle is there, then I got beverages and I'm

547
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 1: gonna have stories with Right Thompson all night long, all

548
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: night and I get to go to the Masters. So yeah,

549
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: I would say that love Italy. I don't know how

550
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: much fun Michael Piazza is going to be. Yeah, I'm

551
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: gonna have fun with right Thompson, He's like a is

552
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: it bonb bivon? I think that's what that's who? Right

553
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: Thompson strikes me as a bambivon. It's a great old phrase.

554
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: I spent a long weekend with him one night. Yeah

555
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: you know. Oh, let's see what do we have here today?

Speaker 1: time when I'm listening to your show, Dan, and I

Speaker 1: Marvin not officially is his name? Yes, I wonder Marvin

570
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: four months ago thought some seventy year old man and

Speaker 1: that's somewhere to be making fun of our national TV. Yeah,

572

577
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,080

Speaker 1: because you have You are the greatest at having these

579
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: little one liners that get clost in the concepts of

580
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: your conversation. One thing that just came to mind recently

581
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: was when you were talking about Lionel Richie and you

582
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: said Lionel Fritzie and the conversation just kept on going.

583
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: But you are great at doing those and then just

584
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,840

589
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: with no shoes on two or ten pounds. So I'm

590
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: talking about the Sports Emmys, and I think that you are,

591
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: like Susan Lucie, more people tuned in to watch that show,

592
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: Lucy if you would win. So you guys raise the

00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: ratings by not winning. Okay, all right, well thank you, Mike.

Speaker 1: I mean I'll give back to the community. If I

595
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: can help the Sports Emmys, then I will. I'll take

596
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: one for the team. We've taken four, yes, we have.

597
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: At some point. I don't want to take any more

598
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: for the team. We're taking a handful for the team. Yeah, yes,

599
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: I got the detail. Susan luc she was oh for

600
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: eighteen for one on the nineteenth try. Yeah, I'm not

601
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: going to be around for eighteen just saying I'm not

602
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: this just in breaking news. I'm not talking about retirement.

603
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a little larger than that. Patrick hints

604
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: at intimate death, a little larger. Yeah, oh, you mean

605
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: a life retirement. Yeah, yeah, like that's a that's a

606
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: better name than death. Life retirement. But this is where

607
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Fritzio stop. I hate when you guys talk. I don't

608
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: like that more good stuff. I don't know why I

609
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: don't like death, but death is coming. I know. I

610
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: just don't like talking about I like positive, just happy things.

611
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: You're not mister positive when it comes to that. I

612
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it's because I had a neurotic mother

613
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: growing up, and every little pimple was like a cancerous growth.

614
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: And I just a we're running to the doctors constantly.

615
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: I just everywhere alive and well and let's enjoy the moment,

616
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: mister positivity. I feel better now. I'm glad. I'm gonna

617
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: live forever. But then you were picking up poll bearers

618
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: on a show, and like, what kind of music? Should we?

619
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: Just having fun? I mean, come on, it's gonna happen anyway. Yes,

620
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: you have fun in life, have fun in death. Yeah,

621
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: I get to pick out my poll bearer? Maybe some music?

622
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: What kind of food we have as kids crying in

623
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: cars all over the place? Daddy? What is he saying? Daddy?

624
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: You have three brothers, right? Uh? Yeah, So there's only

625
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: three other spots really for Paul bears for you at

626
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: this juncture. No one of my brothers not making the

627
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he's that strong enough, Like, oh, is

628
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: that the cover for you? Don't want him? Well? He's

629
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: let me down. He might really let me down, So

630
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: there might be four spots. Yeah, I like to put

631
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: my name in there. You know. I mean I'm not

632
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: the strongest, but I think I would organize the team. Well,

633
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: I need somebody who's gonna cry, not me. Yeah, I'm

634
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: gonna miss you. Yeah, but I need somebody who's gonna

635
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: cry just as they're taking me, you know, down the

636
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: aisle outside. Put me in the hearse. You know, maybe

637
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: Dick vermil always cries, always cries. Maybe you could get

638
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: right Thompson to write your obit or to do I

639
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: like that. I like it. I like it. Yes, time

640
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't we agree upon? That was like the official end.

641
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: Well that's if you know, if I'm in a hospital. Yeah,

642
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: well they were about to pull the plug or something.

643
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeahs again, I don't like that. Time. Imagine if somebody

644
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: made that joke right in the moment you died, where

645
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: it'd be like, okay, okay, let's call it. Uh, you know,

Speaker 1: Todd said, right now, we can give it a try,

670
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: all right, let's give it a try. I think our

671
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: first guest we've ever had on from Italy, Mike Piazza

672
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer. Where are you in Italy? I

673
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: am in Parma, Parma, Italy. Okay, North, Yes, like Parmi Jiano, Reggiano, Parma,

674
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: ham How is your Italian? It's good enough. It's good

675
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: enough if I want to get fed, and if I

676
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: want to get if I want to get a ticket,

677
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: or need a coffee or ask for directions, I would

678
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: say it's plus conversational, higher than conversational, but not quite

679
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: fluent enough to get around and survive. All right, If

680
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: I ask you to pronounce mozzarell, how would you pronounce that?

681
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: All right? I wanted to judge. Would you judge Seaton's Italian?

682
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: Now he's not Italian, He's Irish, but but he's working

683
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: on his Italian. His wife's Italian? All right? Seton, go ahead? Yeah,

684
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people it's funny. I've learned that the

685
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: American version of Italian food is pretty funny. There's actually

686
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: been a lot of YouTube videos and people talking about pronunciation. Yeah,

687
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: but if you try to say you come here and

688
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: you say mouzzarell, though you won't get served. Yeah, I'll

689
00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, is there is there an olive garden

690
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: in Parma? I don't think so. I think if they

691
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: opened an olive garden here, it probably wouldn't do pretty well,

692
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: to be kind, because I did, you know, I did

693
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: make We've made our minor league checks stretch very long

694
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: on the free breadsticks and the salad. But in Italy,

695
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it would do well. Although they do

696
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: have a Starbucks here now in Milan, which a lot

697
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: of people said Starbucks wouldn't Starbucks wouldn't survive here, but

698
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: it's not your typical Starbucks. It's it's very very high end,

699
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: so I imagine they have to up the quality a little.

700
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: Are you full time Italian resident? Yes? I have two

701
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: passports and my kids have been in school here about

702
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: four years. The COVID year obviously was very difficult for everybody.

703
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's just something my wife and

704
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: I wanted to do completely different and just kind of

705
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: change the culture. And they're very fluent in Italian. I'm

706
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: actually taking my kid to soccer practice tonight after we

707
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: get off, so he's playing soccer. He scored a goal

708
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: the other day which is kind of cool. He's not

709
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: really a striker. He's kind of a skilled midfielder who

710
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: follows up the place, so it's a great experience for him.

711
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: And now that things are getting back to normal, you know,

712
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: it's a little eager to go back and forth. He's

713
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: one of the great catchers of all time. Twelve time

714
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: All Star Hall of Famer Mike Pianza joining us from Parma.

715
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: We wanted to have on to talk about the technology

716
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: that we're seeing Baseball introduced with catchers here that apparently

717
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: trying to cut down on sign stealing. Your thoughts on

718
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: is it an overreaction slightly? I did see that new

719
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: device in spring training. I was in Mets camp a

720
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: while ago, I think a little lessan two weeks ago,

721
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: and I saw that new device that they're putting in

722
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: the ear and the catcher and the second basement shortstop

723
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: and picture obviously a lot of pictures. I didn't know

724
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: what was coming anyway. I just kind of said, I'm

725
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: better look fastball and adjust anything else. I think it's

726
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: a shame that that that science stealing controversy did happen.

727
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't think it was very It just

728
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: wasn't part of the game, and unfortunately the game has

729
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: not been able to police itself like in the year's past.

730
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: And m guys are I think a little bit now,

731
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: very overreacting, a little sensitive to it. I don't really

732
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: think it's rocket science. I think as a hitter I

733
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: guessed more on location than actual pitch. But since hitters

734
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: now I think are really guessing, or since there's less

735
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: of an emphasis on strikeouts, that guys are swinging harder

736
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: with two strikes, so they kind of are trying to

737
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: to It's more of a problem, I guess than it

738
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: was in the past. But you know, I'm off for technology,

739
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: the game has changed. I feel a little bit like

740
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: a dinosaur. But and I think it's interesting. I think

741
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: it could be a but my whole thing is too

742
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: that if if it is an electronic device, maybe that

743
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: could be hacked or compromised as well. So you know,

744
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: we were I was saying, if we could hear it

745
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: through some sort of radio wave or something, then the

746
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: other side could probably hear it too if they really

747
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: wanted to. So that presents another issue of problems obviously. Yeah,

748
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: I just wondered about you know, sign stealing is part

749
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: of the game, like just actual looking in to see

750
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: what you know, location or fastball, curveball, whatever you consider

751
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: that part of the game, well, I would say part

752
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: of the game, but also disguising it as part of

753
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: the game. And then if you felt like the guy

754
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: was overtly flaunting relaying it to the hitter, then obviously

755
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: I've had a few conversations where catchers told me, is

756
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: he telling you the signs? Because it could be very dangerous.

757
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: But since that is not no longer, it's frowned upon, obviously,

758
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: and maybe it's for the better, for the worst. I

759
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I'm more of a traditional guy.

760
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: I always felt like those things were naturally policed. And

761
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: then there were some pictures, I mean like oil her

762
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: size or during his stretch in nineteen eighty eight. I

763
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: believe when they won the World Series, you're probably were

764
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: going to get a sinker, you know what I mean.

765
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't It wasn't like a big mystery. You were

766
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: probably going to get a sinker. And especially with Maddox

767
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, I think the location part was

768
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: probably more of something, at least for me, if I

769
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: knew the guy was coming inside, he probably wasn't going

770
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: to come inside with a change up. It was probably

771
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna be something pretty firm. So if I knew that,

772
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: I kind of already had more or less fifty percent

773
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: of my guessing kind of eliminated. Did you have a

774
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: pitcher who tipped his pitches? Yeah, that's well, that's I think.

775
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: Also another problem that hasn't been addressed where Eric Harros,

776
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: who we've talked about before, was amazing at in the stretch.

777
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: When the pitcher had his hand up, they sometimes would

778
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: dig for a certain pitch, like if a guy was

779
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: going for a slider, he would rotate his wrists. And

780
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: Carrols would go to me after the second inning and

781
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: he would say, do you want the pitches? And I

782
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: would say really, and I said yeah, And he would say, dude, fastball,

783
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, curveball or fastball change up or fastball split.

784
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: And he and Robbie Ellimar were two guys that I

785
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: remember distinctly would have the pitches. And then with the

786
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: advent of free agency, we actually found out that some

787
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: of our pitchers who knew guys on the other team

788
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: were telling them that, oh, they have your pitches in

789
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: the stretch because you know, again, if guy went for

790
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: a change up, he would dig or you would see

791
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: his hand, you know, manipulate the ball a little bit differently.

792
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: So that was a problem as well. Some guys were

793
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 1: overtly obvious about it, even guys on their own team

794
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: could sometimes see it and also telling a pitcher. I

795
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: remember Mark Grace told me that they realized Randy Johnson

796
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: was tipping his pitches, and nobody wanted to tell Randy

797
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: that he was tipping, Like they were always worried about

798
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: Randy getting mad, and but you know, they were in

799
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: fear of him, and they were teammates, but you know,

800
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: they didn't want to tell, especially on the days that

801
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: he was pitching, because Randy was a different animal those days. Yeah,

802
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing. My daughter's yell just a second, honey,

803
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: I'm on the internet. I'm having an interview. Good lord,

804
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: sorry about that. She's like, dad, Dad, I'm like, I'm

805
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: doing it. How old is she? She's twelve? Oh okay,

806
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: but yelled at her in Italian Mike, Yeah, yeah, I'm saying,

807
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: keep fine. At least I'm on an interview here, say hi,

808
00:44:52,360 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: keep fighting. For for two hours, it wasn't a peep

809
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: and then we go on the phone and all people

810
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: just kind of running in. Um wait, yeah, that part

811
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: about Randy. You know, Randy was an intimidating guy and

812
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: just dependage your thought on him. But yeah, and I

813
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: could see I would be scared too if I was

814
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: catching him, because you know, he'd probably get mad at me,

815
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: or at least you know, I feel like I was

816
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: doing something to tip his pitches, which obviously wasn't the key.

817
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: Take us back to the Baywatch performance. You're on the Dodgers,

818
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: you're wearing you're wearing your jersey and your hat, and

819
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: you're swearing bat on the beach. So how do they

820
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: how do they pitch that too? You Mike, Well, actually

821
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: that was right after the strike occurred, and it was September,

822
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: and Eric Harris and I were kind of getting delirious,

823
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: and we were we didn't really know if we were

824
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: going to go back to play, if there was gonna

825
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: be a world series. Obviously, the World series didn't happen

826
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: that year, which was which was a tragedy in itself,

827
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: But I mean I just kind of didn't take myself

828
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: too seriously. It was just to add of fun. You know,

829
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: I knew it was going to come across a little

830
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: bit corny. But I just figured, you know what, I'm

831
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: in LA and I thought it would be cute. And

832
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: I didn't realize in this day and age, and in

833
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: back then, there was no social media. I mean we

834
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: had the brick phones, you know what I mean. It

835
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: was like we had the analyze. So I'm like thinking, oh,

836
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: no one's ever going to see this again. It's just

837
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 1: gonna go into the dust bin of history. And now

838
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: even today was social media. You mentioned it now, it

839
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: gets mentioned all the time. So I tell people, you know,

840
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: when you do something that you may or may not regret,

841
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: it does stay with you for a very long time.

842
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: And you did help save that woman who was in

843
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: the water and needed rescue. You and you and Pam Anderson, Yeah,

844
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: protect her. I did it was it was she was

845
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: very Yeah. I felt like I was doing a good

846
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: deed and uh yeah, helping a young lady and a

847
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: very attractive young lady, Katie was drowning in two feet

848
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: of water. Uh yeah. So that's I tell people all

849
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: the time. It's hard work with somebody else to do it.

850
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: I just love the shot of you. You're so serious,

851
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: You're taking your cuts and Pam Anderson is saying, hey,

00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,040
