Speaker 2: is Rich, Jase Stu on the xylophone. Up, what's up?
Speaker 3: Chase Stu and the number eight seven seven nine nine
Speaker 3: six six three six nine eight seven seven ninety nine
Speaker 3: on Fox Everything at Covino and Rich Now a lot
Speaker 3: to get to in the world of the NFL. It
Speaker 3: was a big fight over the weekend, two days till Christmas.
Speaker 3: I want to start that by two quick things before
Speaker 3: over all our observations from week sixteen of the NFL.
Speaker 3: Number one, I watch home alone with my kids. Ah,
Speaker 3: they're seven and four. Oh boy, And I think I
Speaker 3: had to remind my son, like, yeah, you can't do
Speaker 3: that stuff in real life, you know right, Like you
Speaker 3: can't throw a paint can at someone's head.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 3: You can't like fire a lot about your son. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you can't like fireworks in a pot.
Speaker 2: You know that, right? Right? Right? Did they think you
Speaker 2: played Marv?
Speaker 3: But let me tell you that, I think that's the
Speaker 3: difference between a little boy and a little girl as
Speaker 3: we lived the dad life because I never had to
Speaker 3: have that conversation with my daughter. No, for real, I said,
Speaker 3: just so you know, honey, I said to my daughter, well,
Speaker 3: you know, if we left you at home, She's like.
Speaker 2: Please, don't that.
Speaker 3: My son's like, I think I could get the bad guys.
Speaker 3: I'm all right, let's relax, right. But observation number one
Speaker 3: over the weekend, besides all the NFL, have you watch
Speaker 3: home alone now? As a parent? The mcallis does they
Speaker 3: don't really care enough? The mcallisters don't care enough. Did
Speaker 3: your New York just kick.
Speaker 2: Mcallis? Does don't seem to care enough that they left
Speaker 2: their eight year old at home?
Speaker 4: No, you know what would someone pointed out recently and
Speaker 4: kind of clicked. Everything's placed on the mother. The dad
Speaker 4: really doesn't care, dude, he's on vacation.
Speaker 3: It's like, I'm going to Paris to see my brother
Speaker 3: and he's like, yeah, we let.
Speaker 2: The get at home.
Speaker 4: She's probably okay, man, man, wife, I can't believe you
Speaker 4: did that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When the mom like goes home with John Candy and
Speaker 3: the polka ban and everything, the dad shows up right after.
Speaker 2: He's like, hey, we're good. It's like a very Christmas
Speaker 2: Look all right, come on, let's get let's go to
Speaker 2: the foot.
Speaker 3: Just like you had to tell your son rich that
Speaker 3: you know this is a movie, I have to tell
Speaker 3: you the same. So sounds like he's a chip off
Speaker 3: the old blockhead. They're acting. You wouldn't do the same
Speaker 3: in real life either. No, I know, but but Jay still,
Speaker 3: you mean you can't get electrocuted and live. Hey, if
Speaker 3: your son is ever missing, you forgot him somewhere. Don't
Speaker 3: act like the dad. I'm just saying. Even at one
Speaker 3: point they go send the cops over, some old ass
Speaker 3: cop shows up at the mccalisers. He's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: one's answering. Guess the kid's Okay, I guess so's everyone
Speaker 3: at the airport. Our son's stuck at home. Well, I
Speaker 3: gotta get somewhere. I'm not giving you my flight like
Speaker 3: everything about it. Oh yeah, it's a comedy, obviously, obviously, guys, yeah,
Speaker 3: that would be the most frantic situation. Rich and I
Speaker 3: have joked for years the second your kid doesn't come
Speaker 3: out of a jumpy jump playhouse, You're like, where are they?
Speaker 3: It's the most panicky feeling that ever was, especially when
Speaker 3: it's on dad's watch. You go to the playground, your
Speaker 3: kid goes down a slide, they don't pop out.
Speaker 2: The other endroid.
Speaker 3: Seriously, I've started crawling through like Chuck E Cheese playhouses
Speaker 3: just trying to find my kid out of panic, and
Speaker 3: my kid's like that, I'm right here, what's up. It's
Speaker 3: the scariest, the scariest feeling in the world is when
Speaker 3: you can't find your kid. Obviously, you know they'd be
Speaker 3: freaking out.
Speaker 2: In real life.
Speaker 3: That was observation number one, and we're gonna watch a
Speaker 3: second one tonight.
Speaker 2: I think they're the perfect eight for Home Alone and
Speaker 2: Home Alone two. Well, you know, the dad could be
Speaker 2: in a loose sort of fella I could be that
Speaker 2: at times he didn't like his son so much. Who knows.
Speaker 3: I remember my sister went missing when we were little kids.
Speaker 3: Actually that happened a few times. I've seen my parents
Speaker 3: freak out for one sister and not for another. But
Speaker 3: I remember we were in Disney World Epcot Center, and
Speaker 3: you know how you do the little trip around the world.
Speaker 3: We lost one of my siblings in country. We lost
Speaker 3: her in like Mexico, somewhere, I don't know. I forget
Speaker 3: where we were Jays two, but I remember as a
Speaker 3: like a teen, like preteen, maybe thirteen years old, fourteen
Speaker 3: years old, I went with the whole family. I remember
Speaker 3: thinking like she ruined the whole day. That's all I
Speaker 3: cared about.
Speaker 5: Well, I remember the worst five minutes, probably of my wife,
Speaker 5: definitely of my parenthood. Me and my six year old
Speaker 5: son are walking out of a busy Dodger game. Okay,
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, we stopped holding hands. I look around
Speaker 5: and he's nowhere to be seen. The most frantic oh,
Speaker 5: I was about to have a heart attack. My flip
Speaker 5: phone at the time starts to ring. My six year
Speaker 5: old was smart enough to go up to the security
Speaker 5: guard say I've lost my dad. This is his phone
Speaker 5: number that I memorized.
Speaker 3: Wow, dude, my daughter. Now, I guarantee you that's great.
Speaker 3: What a nice story.
Speaker 1: Look at that.
Speaker 2: It's probably end one.
Speaker 3: That so just a reminder if you watch Trouble one,
Speaker 3: it's not realistic. Monister didn't have a cell phone back then,
Speaker 3: Little Kevin. It was nineteen ninety. Hey, kid, Yeah they did,
Speaker 3: and they so casually didn't care that Joe Peschi was
Speaker 3: in their house in the beginning, like a cop just
Speaker 3: stop by. Yes, I saw a funny ass meme over
Speaker 3: the weekend. It was knock knock, knocking on Kevin's door.
Speaker 3: It's a picture of Joe Peschi. It's funny. So now
Speaker 3: observation number two. Last night, my father in law's in town.
Speaker 3: Everyone went to sleep except him and I so a little,
Speaker 3: you know, a little hang with my wife's dad, and
Speaker 3: neither one of us had started watching the Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 3: Enigma documentary.
Speaker 2: And I don't know what it was.
Speaker 3: I'm such a sucker because I watched episode one and
Speaker 3: I actually have some type of like positive feelings for
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Like there's a part of me I was like, man,
Speaker 3: is he misunderstood? Is he like, not not the guy
Speaker 3: I thought he was, Like, I think this documentary is
Speaker 3: convincing me. After one episode, I'm like, by the third episode,
Speaker 3: you'll be saying of him. In the first one, for sure,
Speaker 3: I could see how you would say he's just a
Speaker 3: misunderstood guy. He just wants to win. He grew up
Speaker 3: a ninersand they didn't draft him. His parents seem like
Speaker 3: they suck, and you know, he got hurt on the
Speaker 3: fourth play last year, and that's not the path he
Speaker 3: clearly wanted to try to. I felt the same way
Speaker 3: about Mark Gastineau in that Jets thirty for thirty, because
Speaker 3: all the trailers led up for you to think that.
Speaker 2: This guy's a problem. He's an ale that's why he's
Speaker 2: not in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: But then you start to hear about his childhood a
Speaker 3: little bit, and you're like, yeah, he's just a misunderstood guy.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of misunderstood people. Doesn't give you the
Speaker 3: right to be a jo As my dad would say,
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 5: Know, jaseon, did you watch The Enigma? I watched the
Speaker 5: entire thing. A couple of takeaways, Okay, I liked Aaron
Speaker 5: Rodgers going in I'm one of the few guys that
Speaker 5: actually like what he's all about. And I think that
Speaker 5: I don't think the public appreciates that we have a quarterback,
Speaker 5: uh basically who was at the top of his game,
Speaker 5: who as was as controversial and said as much as
Speaker 5: Aaron does. I don't think I think we'll appreciate it
Speaker 5: when when it's all over. Yeah, but my takeaway from
Speaker 5: the doc was this the whole ayahuasca thing, Steve, especially
Speaker 5: in the third episode, right, the whole ayahuasca thing is
Speaker 5: to get away and to disconnect and to find yourself.
Speaker 5: And what I've found kind of contradicting about the whole thing.
Speaker 5: They let cameras in multi cameras in to film this thing,
Speaker 5: and it's like you're documenting something that, by nature is
Speaker 5: supposed to be something to disconnect from from all the technology.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's a really weird thing to see. And
Speaker 3: that's also why he's misunderstood Rich. It's also conventional, to
Speaker 3: unconventional to see an athlete behave the way he behaves
Speaker 3: and to be such a hippie, dippy guy, you know,
Speaker 3: in that way. We're not used to seeing that. And
Speaker 3: I forget who said this I wish I can credit them.
Speaker 3: Someone said it it was like on an SNY network
Speaker 3: it looked like our old s and y set Rich.
Speaker 3: He's always been sort of smug, sort of arrogant Aaron Rodgers, right,
Speaker 3: but he matched that in his gameplay, and that's the difference.
Speaker 3: Now he just does not, so he's gonna get the hate.
Speaker 3: Like if he was smug and had this cocky attitude
Speaker 3: about him, but he was winning all the time, and
Speaker 3: he was winning Mvps're like, alright, I guess.
Speaker 2: He's Aaron Rodgers man. Wow.
Speaker 3: But when you have that same attitude about yourself and
Speaker 3: you're more outspoken, you have all these platforms and you're
Speaker 3: under delivering where everyone thought you were gonna be the savior.
Speaker 2: I know you said. It's like a hot girl.
Speaker 3: If she's got a little attitude, some people are like,
Speaker 3: it's okay, But if she got fat, they'd be like,
Speaker 3: all right, you can't have that attitude anymore.
Speaker 2: Got the attitude.
Speaker 3: It was cute at the beginning when she was a
Speaker 3: smoke show, but as time went on, you're like.
Speaker 2: You know what, all this stuff I liked about her
Speaker 2: kind of hate it now. It could only be jolly
Speaker 2: if you're fast, so it's a little bit of that.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of that too.
Speaker 3: And you know he's gotten a voice and you hear
Speaker 3: it a lot, so he could rub you the wrong way.
Speaker 3: I'm with Jay stew though, I was never one of
Speaker 3: those guys that hated Aaron Rodgers at all. So you
Speaker 3: know what, interestingly enough, I know we all know this.
Speaker 3: I'm not breaking the glass. Were all sports fans. But
Speaker 3: you gotta remember, he thought he was going to be
Speaker 3: arguably the number one pick for the team he grew
Speaker 3: up watching. You know, here's a guy that had to
Speaker 3: go to a local college before he even went to
Speaker 3: cal Yeah, he has a chip on every step of
Speaker 3: the way. He was sort of overlooked, and god, he
Speaker 3: was the nerdiest looking kid.
Speaker 2: Bangs.
Speaker 1: No one told me this.
Speaker 3: No one told me that Aaron Rodgers had like a
Speaker 3: Caesar like bangs, haircut like.
Speaker 2: Keith d Like, what was that? I mean, it was
Speaker 2: the time. So he was a goofy looking dude, got
Speaker 2: overlooked every step of the way. Thought he was.
Speaker 3: They took Alex Smith for reference, they thought, and by
Speaker 3: the way, he was a good NFL quarterback.
Speaker 2: Alex Smith but thought he'd be going to the forty
Speaker 2: nine ers, and then waited around, waited around, and just.
Speaker 3: Added to that chip on it, but embarrassingly waited around.
Speaker 3: And then you get drafted by a small market Midwest
Speaker 3: team who has Bret Farth.
Speaker 2: So every step of the way sort of was a
Speaker 2: hassle for this guy.
Speaker 3: Then he found his way, and you're right, I really
Speaker 3: do think I haven't started episode two or three, but
Speaker 3: I feel like the narrative for this dude changed when
Speaker 3: he started talking about vaccines. And that never bothered me
Speaker 3: about him, because I'm like, I wasn't hung up on
Speaker 3: the whole is the immunizer who cares? I didn't really
Speaker 3: care at the time his little lie, But I feel
Speaker 3: like that changed the complete narrative and everyone just turned
Speaker 3: on him.
Speaker 2: That was it. I think that was the real start
Speaker 2: of the hate.
Speaker 3: Right, he either liked him or he didn't, a big deal,
Speaker 3: But then you really started to hate the guy because
Speaker 3: of him misleading people on whether or not he was vaccinated.
Speaker 3: So really interesting. You start episode two tonight. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: watch it tonight, But it was it was a good
Speaker 3: show to watch with my father in law because I was.
Speaker 2: Like, what was his takeaway.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm always c's I think, what did you
Speaker 3: think he's a Packers fan?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know he's like he loves Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: A game of Super Bowl and then him and I
Speaker 3: had that conversation of Wow, Brett fav Aaron Rodgers. Now
Speaker 3: Jordan love. They got three in a row. They there
Speaker 3: should be more than two super Bowls to show for.
Speaker 3: You know what bothers me the most, Jay Stu, Fox
Speaker 3: Sports Radio Nation again, Covino and Rich and for the
Speaker 3: great DP day one of the Dan Patrick Hatrick, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, and also a very special day.
Speaker 3: Today's a holiday as well, and we're gonna celebrate Fest
Speaker 3: of Us in just a little bit. And Mary's here
Speaker 3: running things. Was up Mary, So we're gonna marry. We're
Speaker 3: gonna have some fun today. What bothers me is he's
Speaker 3: tarnishing his own legacy at this point. That does bother me,
Speaker 3: you know, because we're gonna look back at these jetsiers.
Speaker 3: If he doesn't do something to turn it around, I
Speaker 3: can't imagine what could happen. You're always gonna look that
Speaker 3: stigma really never goes away. He was great you have
Speaker 3: with those Jets sies. Can I hate that for a
Speaker 3: great player, even if I was a fan of them
Speaker 3: or not, I always hate that. And it's like, dude,
Speaker 3: you had such a great career, like you were a
Speaker 3: great one. And then to end on this note, this
Speaker 3: misery with the Jets, Dude, they're terrible.
Speaker 2: They're worse with.
Speaker 3: Him, like this sort of stigma that hurts me as
Speaker 3: a as a sports fan.
Speaker 4: You know what, though, I think his journey of enlightenment,
Speaker 4: which is what I'll call it, is much like Mike Tyson.
Speaker 4: I think, you know how Mike Tyson speaks about his
Speaker 4: legacy and doesn't really care what other people.
Speaker 2: Think about.
Speaker 4: Had no ego, like I'm gonna die After I die,
Speaker 4: What do I care what people think about me? I
Speaker 4: really think that's where Aaron Rodgers is headed at this time.
Speaker 4: I believe I don't think he cares at all what
Speaker 4: other people think about him.
Speaker 5: At this point, I say, I think that's the the
Speaker 5: question that's left after you watch all three episodes. I
Speaker 5: think that's one of the questions that we all have
Speaker 5: to kind of deal with. Does he care? Because that's
Speaker 5: the big contradiction. He'll he doesn't care, but I think
Speaker 5: he I think he watches and reads everything that is
Speaker 5: said about him, but I really do.
Speaker 2: And if he gives off the vibe that he doesn't care,
Speaker 2: why do you care? Because I'm a.
Speaker 3: Sports fan, That's why, and that's how Why do you
Speaker 3: Because that's how we measure sports, wins, losses, victory stats,
Speaker 3: that's how we measure it.
Speaker 2: But creating about in the world doesn't care. Why do
Speaker 2: you care about him?
Speaker 3: Because anything in life though, I mean the don't care
Speaker 3: about anything, fo you don't care about.
Speaker 5: Anything, doesn't Just the last week contradict that I don't care.
Speaker 5: This whole thing with Ryan Clark is Aaron Rodgers really
Speaker 5: caring what Ryan Clark said and taking shots at him
Speaker 5: and then back and forth. So it's like, that's kind
Speaker 5: of the contradiction in the guy. There's actually a lot
Speaker 5: of contradictions, but that's what makes him interesting.
Speaker 2: He's a super sensitive guy.
Speaker 3: He admits that in the docuseriies Enigma Rich. I'm excited
Speaker 3: for you to see the rest of it to get
Speaker 3: your full analysis.
Speaker 2: I'm late to the party.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm the guy that went to the
Speaker 3: theater to watch the movie like a month after everyone else.
Speaker 2: But I was like, finally the right time.
Speaker 3: You know, you end up watching a bunch of the
Speaker 3: holiday stuff, and there's a lot of There was a
Speaker 3: lot of games, college football games. Finally I'm like, all right,
Speaker 3: let's sit down and watch. And I was shocked because
Speaker 3: I did you and your father in law set an
Speaker 3: appointment up for your next diyahuasca?
Speaker 2: No, No, I think I'll just have it edible way.
Speaker 3: I no, Rich, I think this is something you and
Speaker 3: I should investigate, bring us closer together.
Speaker 2: Why ask, let's go No.
Speaker 3: But you know, my other takeaway for Aaron Rodgers was
Speaker 3: a lot of times when you watch these stories and
Speaker 3: I'll end on this because there's so much of damn stuff.
Speaker 2: To get to.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of great football over the weekend,
Speaker 3: and we got more football in a couple of days.
Speaker 3: I think the takeaway for me is when I'm watching
Speaker 3: Last Dance about Michael Jordan, when I'm watching Man in
Speaker 3: the Arena, Tom Brader, I'm watching if I'm watching any
Speaker 3: docuseries the on Netflix, the O four, Red, Sox Fantastic,
Speaker 3: you see the struggle, but then there's.
Speaker 2: The payoff when you see him going through rehab.
Speaker 3: And by the way, want too many pictures of his foot,
Speaker 3: like enough oiling up of his ankle on foot.
Speaker 2: But when I'm watching the.
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers Enigma and he's talking about how he's got
Speaker 3: so much more left, and the reality is that hasn't happened.
Speaker 3: It's like a documentary where I'm like, where's like if
Speaker 3: the ending was and then he went to the Jets
Speaker 3: and made it to the playoffs or won a Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: then it's a documentary. This is like it opened end
Speaker 3: to the documentaries, Like it's like watching Lebamba. You're like,
Speaker 3: I know how this ends.
Speaker 2: It's terrible.
Speaker 5: Do you guys remember the doc Do you remember the
Speaker 5: doc Free Solo? It won an Oscar? It was the
Speaker 5: guy that went up El Capatown. Well, I remember seeing
Speaker 5: the oscars and him him being there alive to receive
Speaker 5: the Oscar. And then I watched the doc afterwards, like
Speaker 5: the whole the holes. I guess while you're watching it,
Speaker 5: the whole thing is like you're seeing the guy who
Speaker 5: could die at any second, right, but you know he
Speaker 5: lives because he accepted that oscar. Yeah, So I wish
Speaker 5: I had said it before I knew that.
Speaker 3: So I feel that way. I'm like because in the documentary. Again,
Speaker 3: it's filmed mostly during the year where he was injured.
Speaker 3: So what does he say in the whole time?
Speaker 2: Kavi?
Speaker 3: Now, the whole time, he's like, well, we're gonna put
Speaker 3: twenty three twenty four behind us, and we're gonna look
Speaker 3: forward to twenty four to twenty five.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I know what happens. It's not good.
Speaker 3: Aaron gat like what saviorself like, don't And then now
Speaker 3: you're thinking, after this terrible campaign of a season, what
Speaker 3: lies ahead for Aaron Rodgers retirement.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm.
Speaker 3: Glad Jay stew back me up, back me up a
Speaker 3: little bit in that he came across as like I
Speaker 3: didn't hate him, because there's a lot of Aaron Rodgers haters.
Speaker 3: I watched episode one and my feeling was, oh, man,
Speaker 3: it's a bummer. You know, every step of the way
Speaker 3: he had a battle and he only won one Super
Speaker 3: Bowl for as good as he is, and now he
Speaker 3: thought he was gonna prove everyone wrong, and they play
Speaker 3: all the talking head stuff from Fox Sports people to
Speaker 3: ESPN people. When he joined the Jets, it was like
Speaker 3: people like Greenie were like, it's a rebirth New York.
Speaker 3: The Jets are turning it around and to know where
Speaker 3: we are now. You're watching a documentary, like I said,
Speaker 3: with with not a happy ending? What was that rom
Speaker 3: comm spot that we used to joke about had the worst?
Speaker 3: It was like My Black Book or something, my Little
Speaker 3: Black Book. There was one rom com I watched I
Speaker 3: remember with like an X back of the Day and
Speaker 3: the ending wasn't they like didn't get together? I could Yeah, No,
Speaker 3: what about the one with Vince Fallen and Jennifer Aniston
Speaker 3: The BREAKUPA break you were thinking, like you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: by the way, tap tap tap, what is it? Reppy
Speaker 3: tap teppy? Come come on the kids trump. That was
Speaker 3: a great movie. But spoiler, they don't get together in
Speaker 3: the end. It's sort of like it's a breakup. It
Speaker 3: is called the breakup. He's a happy ending, So like
Speaker 3: you know, it's no one's watching. It's like that's the thing.
Speaker 3: Not everything's a happy end. But I'm saying this is
Speaker 3: the this is a miserable ending. Your team doesn't get you.
Speaker 3: Remember the old Remember the old DVD you would buy
Speaker 3: if your team won a championship, like the Year in Review. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they don't sell Year in Reviews for the teams that
Speaker 3: don't do anything. I feel you're watching that for Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers and the Jets.
Speaker 2: No, we are, unfortunately. All right, Well, I'm glad you
Speaker 2: turned me on to it.
Speaker 3: I know everyone probably has watched it already, but you know,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of holiday stuff going on.

Speaker 3: and I want to air that grievance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, text me.
Speaker 3: This is why I sit there bewildered, Like that's why
Speaker 3: he called me? Was he bored on his ride home?
Speaker 3: Is he on the ball? That was a total text?
Speaker 3: Are you just like seeing if I was alive? What
Speaker 3: was the point and purpose of that now? Twenty years ago?
Speaker 5: That's fine, right, right, right? But I want to get
Speaker 5: this right. Gary Goleman is one of my favorite comedy
Speaker 5: love comedians. Okay, he said he has this bit and
Speaker 5: it's perfect. The phone is simply an app on my
Speaker 5: phone and if you're gonna use it a better count.
Speaker 3: I love Gary. I love Gary, Gary Goleman. Shout out
Speaker 3: to Gary. I call him a system of a goldman
Speaker 3: now or gulman of a down. Have you seen him lately?
Speaker 3: It's like surge from system of a down. He grew
Speaker 3: out like this long goatee and everything my grievances have
Speaker 3: to do with Rich. Actually, no, he calls me last
Speaker 3: night and he starts to mansplain what Festivus is. He's like, hey,
Speaker 3: I got a great idea for tomorrow. Tomorrow's the twenty third.
Speaker 3: He's like, how about we do Festivus and let people
Speaker 3: air their grievances in the world. The sports are just
Speaker 3: life or whatever. I was like, that's great, and then
Speaker 3: he continues to explain to me what it is. As
Speaker 3: if I haven't talked to the guy for twenty years,
Speaker 3: you're also you're also the guy that's like, never really
Speaker 3: watched Seinfeld, I'm aware of pop culture references. Who hasn't
Speaker 3: seen that or heard the reference by now?
Speaker 4: I also feel like we talk about it every year
Speaker 4: because it's become a pop culture thing in the last
Speaker 4: few years.
Speaker 2: You guys know, this doesn't have to be about what
Speaker 2: you hate about me.
Speaker 1: I had a pause.
Speaker 2: First of all, this is clip on our show. We
Speaker 2: joke about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't mind that he called me to let's talk
Speaker 3: about what we're gonna do on DP tomorrow. That that's
Speaker 3: an important conversation to me. But when he goes on
Speaker 3: explaining what Festivus is, I'm like, you mean, what we've
Speaker 3: talked about for twenty years to get that, and.
Speaker 2: We're going to make him cry.
Speaker 4: By th way, when Rich calls you, by the way,
Speaker 4: never have a follow up question because he'll get bored
Speaker 4: and hang up on you.
Speaker 2: Guys hate about me? No, no, here.
Speaker 3: Here's the other thing with Rich when he calls is
Speaker 3: all sense of urgency, right, But when you call him,
Speaker 3: he's nowhere to be found for like, so he oh
Speaker 3: my god, what he dimmoned? Your wife's just disappear? So, hey,
Speaker 3: where's Rich together? I guess he's busy. So anyway, grievans.
Speaker 5: By the way, Cavino, on top of your grievance, I
Speaker 5: could add the fact that he called you to talk
Speaker 5: about today's show without looping me.
Speaker 2: Yet we're talking about the show tomorrow. We might as
Speaker 2: well add the producer. You know, that would have been
Speaker 2: a smart thing to do. They talk about you, that's why.
Speaker 3: But a little like nugget of something then, so I'm like,
Speaker 3: are you man explaining to me right now as if
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is? And he's like yeah,
Speaker 3: but I figured, he goes, well, if you know, what's
Speaker 3: the second part of it? And I was like, I
Speaker 3: don't know. Having the pole the festival bowl. I didn't
Speaker 3: know the second part, so I'll give you that. Can
Speaker 3: you explain what the feats of strength?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Are you doing that as well?
Speaker 3: Down since we're talking festivals, can you at least explain
Speaker 3: the Seinfeld reference?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the the origins.
Speaker 3: It was an I mean, if you want me to
Speaker 3: man explaining to dummies like you know the second part though,
Speaker 3: because I remember hearing it, but I don't really know
Speaker 3: what the feats.
Speaker 2: Of Many years ago, I went to the store. I
Speaker 2: purchased a doll for my son.
Speaker 3: Yeah, take as many Christmases ago, I went to buy
Speaker 3: a doll for my son.
Speaker 2: I reached for the last one they had, but so
Speaker 2: did another man.
Speaker 1: As I rain.
Speaker 3: Blows upon him, I realized that had to be another way.
Speaker 2: What happened to the doll?
Speaker 4: It was destroyed, But out of that, oh Holiday was
Speaker 4: born a Festivus for the rest of us.
Speaker 2: That must have been some kind of doll she was.
Speaker 3: So it's as day that I know what are the
Speaker 3: feats of strength? Based on his uh fighting for the doll.
Speaker 3: You have to that's really where it comes from. Okay, So,
Speaker 3: Mike Grievance has had nothing to do with you until
Speaker 3: you went it may and now I have a million
Speaker 3: of them. Let's start with you thinking the Yankees pinstripes
Speaker 3: mean anything they do to the fans, they do to
Speaker 3: anyone over thirty five. My number one grievance is that
Speaker 3: I think it's funny. In fact, I think it makes
Speaker 3: you guys look lame. The fact that the Yankees still
Speaker 3: have this no facial hair rule. I see every headshot
Speaker 3: of Paul Goldschmidt like a handsome late thirties guy. It's
Speaker 3: gonna have to look like a baby face nerd because
Speaker 3: the Yankees were shave your stumble, how outdated. Poor Devin
Speaker 3: Williams's gonna have to come out of the bullpen with
Speaker 3: you know, Raisin burn because he has to shave before
Speaker 3: he closes out the game, first time in six years
Speaker 3: that he has to be clean shaven. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 3: kind of tough. Here's why. Here's you know what, rich,
Speaker 3: I agree that the Yankees have a tradition. I agree
Speaker 3: that maybe it's pasted right. Sometimes tradition is making the
Speaker 3: same mistake over and over again, and maybe in today's
Speaker 3: world that doesn't fly. But I think there's a middle ground,
Speaker 3: Like there's a compromise. You can't come in looking like
Speaker 3: a hobo, but maybe you come in and still have
Speaker 3: long hair, just well groomed. Yeah, I'm gonna say it
Speaker 3: looks like a red sox. But like you know, compromise
Speaker 3: a little bit. But it got me thinking that Devin
Speaker 3: Williams situation. He hasn't shaved in six years. What if
Speaker 3: he's covering up a a week chin. Or maybe he
Speaker 3: does get that razor burn that some people get. For
Speaker 3: all we know he has some frog eggs under there
Speaker 3: and he doesn't want to really expose that. Maybe that
Speaker 3: takes away from his confidence. I want this guy to
Speaker 3: feel confident on the mound. Sometimes you feel good, you
Speaker 3: play good. Somebody once said that Jerry Rice exactly. It
Speaker 3: was Jerry right. So you know what, Rich I believe
Speaker 3: in looking your best and presenting your best, unlike you
Speaker 3: who wear sweatpants to work every day. Just kidding, but
Speaker 3: I do believe that it's an outdated rule, man. I
Speaker 3: do I think they have to adjust it. I am
Speaker 3: wearing sweatpants right now. Your grievances, I got one at eight, seven, seven,
Speaker 3: nine nine on Fox.
Speaker 2: What else he had? I open it up to you.
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Dan Patrick Nation eight seven seven ninety
Speaker 3: nine Fox eight at Covino and Rich our boys spot
Speaker 3: here who does our videos? Again at Covino and Rich
Speaker 3: and he produces our Patreon if you want to check
Speaker 3: that out. He pointed this out and broke the glass
Speaker 3: to me. But since then I despise it. It's the
Speaker 3: jabbroni on social media whose sole purpose is just to
Speaker 3: point at the content. It's like, what are you contributing
Speaker 3: to this video and to my life?
Speaker 2: Get out of my face?
Speaker 3: And if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's
Speaker 3: a video about drones or a video about aliens or
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. And all this ask Plan is doing is
Speaker 3: pointing at someone else's content, right, He's pointing. So I've
Speaker 3: taken upon myself to tell these people, you know, because
Speaker 3: they usually pose it with a question or something like
Speaker 3: and what do you think I think I'd understand more
Speaker 3: if you point it a little more at literally pointing
Speaker 3: would have done me a lot better.
Speaker 2: In this video, I'm.
Speaker 4: Pointing at Kavino as he's making this point post that
Speaker 4: video that to me millions of views, you're offering nothing
Speaker 4: to the world, and I want to karate kick you
Speaker 4: in the sternum. Yeah, and what it annoways be is
Speaker 4: usually the pointer gets more views than the original.
Speaker 2: That really bothers you if you know what I'm talking about. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's a huge problem on Twitter.
Speaker 3: Now that we pointed it out, though on a national scale,
Speaker 3: on a huge platform, the Dan Patrick Show, millions of
Speaker 3: people are gonna be like, you know what, I hate
Speaker 3: that guy too, Send him all the hate in the world.
Speaker 3: Tell them to get a life, get a life, get
Speaker 3: a life. Content, Chase, do I know one of your
Speaker 3: professional pointer one of Chase do His pep peeves is
Speaker 3: the people that are shocked that time is moving along.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 5: It's my favorite one. And I don't even know if
Speaker 5: it's a pet peeve. Is that it's just I like
Speaker 5: making fun of unsophisticated, unoriginal people. And if you're if
Speaker 5: you're partaking in small talk, if you walk into an
Speaker 5: ovator with a bunch of strangers, I think it's easy
Speaker 5: just to go to those low hanging fruit small talk things. Man,
Speaker 5: it's already it's already Christmas. Could you believe it exactly?
Speaker 5: It was just Christmas yesterday.
Speaker 2: I hate those people too, because I'm not good at it.
Speaker 2: I hate I'm allergic to small talk.
Speaker 3: Oh but can I add a little nugget to the
Speaker 3: premise then, man, time's a flying. But my theory is this,
Speaker 3: and it really bothers me, so I'll air my grievance.
Speaker 3: I feel like after COVID the world has been on
Speaker 3: fast forward and I can't wrap my head around the schedule.
Speaker 3: After COVID, I feel like we're in a time warp
Speaker 3: and something happened and times moving way too fast. Something
Speaker 3: happened after COVID, where I was never the same in
Speaker 3: my perception of time is off. Like everything pre COVID
Speaker 3: is different to me than after COVID, and after COVID.
Speaker 2: Is twenty twenty five. Already that bothers me. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: air my grievance. It sounds like long COVID. It sounds
Speaker 2: like long I think you.
Speaker 3: Still have long COVID. I think, yeah, maybe I do. Honestly,
Speaker 3: you share this sentiment. There's a big trend on social
Speaker 3: media now where mostly like millennials, a lot of people
Speaker 3: in their thirties are saying that they feel as though
Speaker 3: again post COVID is like a weird world for them. Well,
Speaker 3: I think the sentiment you're seeing a lot as a
Speaker 3: my I on social media, as people saying that they've
Speaker 3: never they've the feeling of happiness hasn't been the same,
Speaker 3: like the spark of.
Speaker 2: Life has been different. Interesting.
Speaker 3: I have one more now and then we'll take all
Speaker 3: of your feedback. I hate, you know, people talking about
Speaker 3: Lebron versus Michael Jordan. We say that's the most like
Speaker 3: eye rolly, weak ass goats sports debate, like.
Speaker 1: Jordan or Lebron.
Speaker 3: I feel like one of there's a debate that bothers
Speaker 3: me even more, and it's is Diehard a Christmas movie?
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's it's the Jase do.
Speaker 3: I'd rather someone say, man, Tom's flying in an elevator
Speaker 3: then then ask someone, hey, what's your favorite Christmas movie?
Speaker 3: And it's instead of having instead of having a real
Speaker 3: answer like oh, it's a.
Speaker 2: Wonderful life for Elf or oh, Christmas vacation. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Love.
Speaker 3: Actually, when someone's like Diehard, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: how masculine are you trying to appear? I agree with
Speaker 3: die Hard. And by the way, fun fact it was
Speaker 3: released in July.
Speaker 2: It's not a Christmas as we said recently.
Speaker 3: It's the fact, but it's it's the fact that the
Speaker 3: person saying that acts as if you didn't ever hear
Speaker 3: before that, you know, diehards a Christmas movie, like, oh
Speaker 3: really never heard that one before?
Speaker 2: That's what makes it a Christmas.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Wapp Uh you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson, the late great Ricky sixty five years old,
Speaker 3: complications from pneumonia.
Speaker 2: Is there any update or is that where is That's
Speaker 2: where we're at.
Speaker 3: Right No, man, But it did start with some speculation
Speaker 3: because Dave Winfield, former teammate, Hall of Famer legend Dave Winfield,
Speaker 3: posted that he was truly upset, couldn't believe, still couldn't
Speaker 3: believe that he had to deal with the passing of
Speaker 3: his longtime friend Ricky Henderson. And then that put everyone
Speaker 3: on this search like what Ricky Henderson?
Speaker 2: And it was nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 3: The family hadn't announced anything, It wasn't on TMZ or
Speaker 3: any news outlet. I know you did you and of
Speaker 3: course you went to X you went to TMS that
Speaker 3: you went everywhere, and then you googled news Ricky and
Speaker 3: nothing comes up.
Speaker 2: And then later that day it started to come out,
Speaker 2: and you're like, no way, man, Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 3: You know people throw around, this is one takeaway people
Speaker 3: throw around. Oh he was one of a kind. Oh man,
Speaker 3: he was one of the great ones. They throw that
Speaker 3: stuff around way too much, because then how do you
Speaker 3: describe a Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 2: Give me a break. He's arguably the greatest.
Speaker 3: If not all around greatest player we've ever seen, greatest
Speaker 3: leadoff hitter of multy five years in the big leagues.
Speaker 3: And talk about characters, right, so many takeaways, so many moments,
Speaker 3: And I have one of my favorite quotes. The thing is,
Speaker 3: sometimes the legend becomes fact. A lot of these stories
Speaker 3: aren't true, but you want him to be true. Some
Speaker 3: of them are true. But I'll never forget as a
Speaker 3: Yankees fan just seeing Ricky Henderson knowing he was in Oakland, A.
Speaker 3: And there's no debate there. He's an Oakland A. He's
Speaker 3: a Bay Area legend. But he played five sweet years
Speaker 3: with the Yankees and in the prime time of my
Speaker 3: fandom growing up, when I was a kid, when you
Speaker 3: saw how this dude played and he saw him steel bases.
Speaker 3: You saw how he looked in a uniform. One of
Speaker 3: my first takeaways was, my goodness, he looks like a
Speaker 3: running back in pinstripes. Chiseled stone, chiseled at a stone
Speaker 3: like you saw. This sounds corny, but I'm sure Mary
Speaker 3: wouldn't recognize this or know this. Mary's a little younger,
Speaker 3: Like you saw his quads through the uniform, Like you
Speaker 3: saw how like built he Back in the day when
Speaker 3: we were kids, people that played baseball looked like Keith
Speaker 3: Hernandez and Ozzie Smith, like you were like dad bod
Speaker 3: sort of.
Speaker 2: And Ricky Henderson was the one guy where you're like,
Speaker 2: he must work out.
Speaker 3: You're like, this dude is chiseled, and you saw his
Speaker 3: leg muscles through the uniform. You really did, And you
Speaker 3: saw how he played the game he didn't see. And
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people talk about this,
Speaker 3: but I think everybody knows it. One of my first
Speaker 3: observations as a child, because we would mimic it was
Speaker 3: not only his batting stance, but when he would snap
Speaker 3: a fly ball a pop out, he would snap it
Speaker 3: to the side of his glove. He would catch a
Speaker 3: routine can of corn with flash and flare. And that's
Speaker 3: what separated Ricky Henderson. When you see someone do that,
Speaker 3: you know what you know in little league or rec
Speaker 3: league softball, when someone has a lazy flyball and they
Speaker 3: catch it a little snap down with their glove.
Speaker 2: That's the Ricky flash, the only guy doing.
Speaker 5: That because he was actually he was the hot dog
Speaker 5: before baseball allowed you to be a hot dog like
Speaker 5: today people that that pimp their home runs and Cadillac
Speaker 5: around the base.
Speaker 2: Was they in their jersey? Yeah, Steve, they kind of
Speaker 2: let it go for Ricky, they absolutely did. He was
Speaker 2: the exception. He was the only guy Jaseton. That's a
Speaker 2: great point.
Speaker 3: I'm because I picture Ricky because another misconception, Oh fast,
Speaker 3: you know a lot of stone bases and hits. Guy
Speaker 3: had a ton of home runs for a leadof fit
Speaker 3: almost four hundred, I believe, right like three ninety something
Speaker 3: three that like ninety seven or ninety nine maybe give
Speaker 3: me before Ricky Henderson home run. I think it's like
Speaker 3: three ninety seven.
Speaker 5: Like in a lot of ways, like you always hear about,
Speaker 5: oh that guy is that guy's old school, Ricky was
Speaker 5: way ahead of his time in that nowadays you put
Speaker 5: all your power hitters at the top of the order.
Speaker 5: Ricky Henderson was a power hitter you put at the
Speaker 5: top of the order. He just happened to be fast,
Speaker 5: but I.
Speaker 2: Mean nothing bad.
Speaker 3: At two seventy nine, I knew that just because I
Speaker 3: wanted him to be like that two to eighty guy.
Speaker 3: But twenty five years into Big heies broke every stolen
Speaker 3: base record possible. Got a little criticism when he said,
Speaker 3: you know today, I'm the greatest. Got a little criticism
Speaker 3: back then, which is again because.
Speaker 2: It was back then. Now everybody show boats.
Speaker 3: Jay Stu made the best point that he was playing
Speaker 3: way ahead of his time. The fact that we live
Speaker 3: in a world now, and I'm all for it. We
Speaker 3: live in a world of staring at your home run
Speaker 3: bat flips. I like the world of midjor league baseball,
Speaker 3: adding a little flash and a little a little fun.
Speaker 3: I like a good bat flip. I like an aggressive picture.
Speaker 3: Then pitching inside. That's part of the game.
Speaker 2: I love. Ricky Henderson is the first guy I could
Speaker 2: ever remember.
Speaker 3: I'm picturing him in the batter's box, ripping a home
Speaker 3: run and doing like that first hop step to first
Speaker 3: base pimp and his shirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the chain comes out a little bit.
Speaker 3: YEA had that strata, you know, as he rounded the bases.
Speaker 3: He had over three thousand hits. He was just a
Speaker 3: dominant personality for the world of baseball and one of
Speaker 3: my favorite stories. Again, we all have our favorite moments.
Speaker 3: I had my favorite baseball cards, my favorite pictures of him.
Speaker 3: I have a picture that I kept. I used to
Speaker 3: have it in the frame. What I did, which I've
Speaker 3: taken a lot of memorabilia down. I put him in books,
Speaker 3: like in a plastic sleeve, right, and have a picture.
Speaker 3: You know the rule about memorabilia, Jason, It wasn't autographed.
Speaker 3: It's not autographed. You just have a picture of a man.
Speaker 2: On your wall. Yeah, so this is a group of men.
Speaker 3: But I had a picture of like it was Ricky Henderson,
Speaker 3: Willie Randolph, Don Manningly, Dave Rughetti, Dave Winfield all in
Speaker 3: one photo. And I always loved because I like, these
Speaker 3: were my heroes and Ricky Henderson front and center, just
Speaker 3: smiling making everybody laugh. That was the other thing with
Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson, Tuto Rich, he had all this flair and
Speaker 3: all this flash. He backed it up, and he was likable.
Speaker 3: He was beloved by all his teammates, and even if
Speaker 3: he was playing against you, you sort of respected him.
Speaker 3: No one hated Ricky Henderson the way you could hate
Speaker 3: someone as dominant as he was with that much flash.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite stories. It's one of the stories
Speaker 3: that I'm not sure it's true, but I could see
Speaker 3: it happening, but it made me laugh either way. One
Speaker 3: of my favorite stories. Rumor has it, when Ricky Henderson
Speaker 3: played for the Mariners in two thousand, he noticed first
Speaker 3: baseman John Olrud wore a helmet while playing in the
Speaker 3: field instead of a cap. Ricky told him, I used
Speaker 3: to play with a guy in the Mets last year
Speaker 3: that did that too. Olrud replied, Yeah, that was me, Ricky.
Speaker 3: We were teammates on on the Mets last year, if
Speaker 3: that's true. Like, I love that he was so just
Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson. And he's played with so many different people
Speaker 3: that maybe it didn't register, Like, you know, it's interesting
Speaker 3: to know what made that guy tick.
Speaker 2: He was such an old school ballplayer, you know.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he had great relationships, but I'm sure some
Speaker 3: of them were just baseball relationship.
Speaker 2: What's crazy about the story you just told us.
Speaker 5: I remember hearing a totally different story, and that's that's
Speaker 5: what kind of makes these Ricky Henderson's story is so
Speaker 5: weird is you don't know which ones have been exaggerated
Speaker 5: or not.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: I heard that ol Rude played with him and won
Speaker 5: a world series with him in the ninety three Blue Jays.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's true. That old said, Yeah, we were also
Speaker 5: teammates in Toronto, Like there was a there was an
Speaker 5: addition to the punchline and the story that I heard.
Speaker 3: So again, you're right, that adds to the legend. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that makes more sense. Yeah, it does make more sense.
Speaker 3: And I was reading that one off of the internet,
Speaker 3: but because I didn't want to like misquote it, I
Speaker 3: like your version, Jay Stu better. But when the legend
Speaker 3: becomes fact print the legend and he was a legend,
Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson. We all know the Ricky story where parently
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse, people are talking about who's batt and
Speaker 3: what and batting average, and someone was also talking and
Speaker 3: said John John three sixteen, and they quoted the Bible,
Speaker 3: and Ricky Henderson said, yeah, I don't want to hear
Speaker 3: about John hitting three sixteen, Ricky hitting three thirty. See
Speaker 3: that's when I find hard to believe. But I love
Speaker 3: that story too. I don't know if that's true, but.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: And Ricky Henderson also talked in third person and got
Speaker 3: away with it. Anyone else under the moon talking third person,
Speaker 3: You're like, who's this guy?
Speaker 2: Because they're not Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 5: And speaking of by the way, so Seaton O'Connor, who
Speaker 5: has a long time Danette as you've been listening to
Speaker 5: him every morning on the show forever, he had a
Speaker 5: personal Ricky Henderson's story. This Seaton's Twitter account from Saturday.
Speaker 5: I spoke to Ricky Henderson once. It was after he
Speaker 5: did an interview on the show, after Dan said goodbye
Speaker 5: to him. I picked up the phone and said, hey, Ricky,
Speaker 5: this is Seaton. Seaton just wanted to say thank you
Speaker 5: until you. Seaton is a huge fan. And he said back,
Speaker 5: tell Seaton. I said, thank you.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 2: That's so funny.
Speaker 3: That's funny, I said, did you see the one that's
Speaker 3: going around? Harold Reynolds shared the story is a true
Speaker 3: one because this is coming from Harold Reynolds. The year
Speaker 3: was nineteen eighty seven. Ricky Henderson was dealing with injuries
Speaker 3: on the Yankees that year, So it was the one
Speaker 3: year where like the one year Ricky didn't lead the
Speaker 3: league in stolen bases, he was banged up. Harold Reynolds
Speaker 3: ended the season with sixty stolen bases, the only season
Speaker 3: between eighty and ninety one that Ricky didn't win the
Speaker 3: stolen based title. He called the Harold Reynolds this phone rings.
Speaker 3: He goes, yeah, what's up, rick Man? You ought to
Speaker 3: be a shamed saying that sixty was not enough. What
Speaker 3: are you talking about, Ricky? Sixty stolen bases? You ought
Speaker 3: to be a shamed. Ricky had sixty at the break
Speaker 3: and hangs up his phone.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: Our producer Monday through Friday, producer Danny g you know
Speaker 3: the superstar. He hit me up with a meme that
Speaker 3: went viral today. He says led Daylon Cruz led MLB
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four with sixty seven steals and was
Speaker 3: caught sixteen times at the age of twenty two, So
Speaker 3: sixty seven steals, caught sixteen times at twenty two. The
Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson led MLB in ninety eight with sixty six
Speaker 3: steals and was caught thirteen times. He was thirty nine
Speaker 3: years old.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: Like you know, another another term and expression that we
Speaker 3: throw around way too much.
Speaker 2: Built different. No, Ricky, You're not built different. That guy
Speaker 2: that different. Ricky Henderson was built different. You know.
Speaker 3: He really was that guy everybody else people pretend to
Speaker 3: be or wanna be, or we claimed to be, they're
Speaker 3: really not. Maybe they are for the moment, for that day,
Speaker 3: for that game. Ricky Henderson was that guy for every
Speaker 3: team he played for. Speaking of which, yeah, he played
Speaker 3: for a lot of teams. Not thirteen teams, thirteen team changes.
Speaker 3: That's a hell of a lot of advice. It is
Speaker 3: like four times. Right, there's no way there's a player
Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball history. I'm not even need to
Speaker 3: look it up. There's no player that has gone to
Speaker 3: the same team as many times as Ricky Henderson found
Speaker 3: his way back to Oakland. Right, there's no way, dude.
Speaker 3: I saw over the weekend a highlight of him in
Speaker 3: a Dodger outfit. Yeah, he played his last career home
Speaker 3: run or last base that was his last year.
Speaker 5: I don't even remember him being a Dodger like that's
Speaker 5: he was just like on one team a year, half
Speaker 5: a year he was a rental player. It was crazy.
Speaker 5: He bounced around.
Speaker 3: Let me he had some big moment random teams, Padres.
Speaker 3: I believe he hit his uh three thousandth if I'm
Speaker 3: not mistaken. Let me let me go through real quick
Speaker 3: the teams and tell me if we all remember, because
Speaker 3: I feel like you're gonna be like I remember that,
Speaker 3: all right? We start with Oakland old school Ricky Oakland,
Speaker 3: of course, yeah, with the Yankees, we of course remember that.
Speaker 3: Then back to the Oakland A's. That's when he's part
Speaker 3: of that team with McGuire and won World and they
Speaker 3: did not McGuire and you know Canseco, I do remember
Speaker 3: after that he went to Toronto. I remember that. By
Speaker 3: the way, before you skip, I saw Dave Stewart said, like,
Speaker 3: by the way, his teammates legends, like so many legends
Speaker 3: have come out to say how much he meant to them,
Speaker 3: and Dave Stewart being one of them. Yeah, of that
Speaker 3: eighty nine A's squad, and Jose Canseco known for being
Speaker 3: a jerk. Look what he I'm gonna find what Jose
Speaker 3: can say to save it for next. So then we
Speaker 3: went to Toronto. Then we went to Oakland, again. This
Speaker 3: is where it starts to get a little dicey, where
Speaker 3: he's jumping around the lot San Diego. But I do
Speaker 3: remember him as a Padre Angels for a second. Then
Speaker 3: back to Oakland. Then he went to the Mets for
Speaker 3: a cup of coffee, you know a year or so,
Speaker 3: John O' then Seattle, then San Diego again, the one
Speaker 3: that would I would you gave me trivia j Stu,
Speaker 3: I would miss this one.
Speaker 2: Boston for a second, and Seattle to me, those are.
Speaker 3: Seattle I might be able to visually place. And then
Speaker 3: he went to the Dodgers. I remember how it ended,
Speaker 3: but Boston would be the one. If we played on
Speaker 3: the road again, I would never have remembered. But then
Speaker 3: he played in the minors like he was still grind
Speaker 3: in as a ballplayer, because that's who he was. Jose Knsako,
Speaker 3: I'm heartbroken and devastated. Ricky Henderson was an incredibly talented player,
Speaker 3: but an even better human. I'll never forget the incredible
Speaker 3: memories we created together, memories I'll never forget. Rest easy,
Speaker 3: my friend again. Everybody loved this guy. He led by
Speaker 3: example
