1
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: And welcome back to is this a great game? Or

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: what with the Hall of Famer Tim Kirkshin. I'm his son,

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Kirkshen. Dad, were in the basement because boy, oh boy,

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: did you and I have a thirty six hours or what?

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? I talked to Kyle Schwarber as the dugout reporter

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: for the All Star Game, and I said to Kyle

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Schwarber and again loaded question here, but how did Philadelphia

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: do during All Star Week? And he said, we killed it? Yeah,

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: oh yeah, And I think he's right. We've been over

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: the Homer Derby how great it was. The All Star

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: Game was not a great All Star Game because the

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: pitching is we'll get to that in a minute, is

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: just too good. But everything around the All Star Game

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: I felt from my vantage point, was fabulous. But your

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: vantage point, Jeff, is more important than mine. Being in

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: a dugout or in a press box or something like that.

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: You were in the stands, you were with the people,

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: you were outside. What did you see and what did

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: you love?

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question, Dad, and I think above

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: all else, I thought it was such a perfect tie

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: in with the birthday of the United States of America.

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Philadelphia to fifty, it just makes sense.

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: But the ode that they paid to this country as

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: America's game, where's your book over there? It was so

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: special and to me, one of the big things was

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: from the very beginning introducing the starting lineups. They're signing

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence. We'll give you a goodness, Nicholas

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Cage wasn't there or else we'd have no idea where.

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: What Charles Carroll?

31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: Right?

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so the team Tim, I'll hint. The Team Tim

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: is the all signers of the Declaration. Very cool and

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: knowing very little about history, I'm ashamed to say I

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: had to look up all the signers and stuff like that,

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: so bear with me on that. But yes, I thought

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: that was a great start. But the whole night was great.

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: They stopped the action a couple times for space even

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: before the game. What happened? What did you see.

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Before the game? Well before the game. I mean it

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: was such a fun time because before the game there

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: was so much going on at the fan village, which

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: I went to in the city, which was unbelievable packed.

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: I went there on the day of the All Star Game,

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: but it had been opened all weekend and there was

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: slim Pickings. The store was completely ran out. There wasn't

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: a single hat to purchase there. And then when we

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: got into the stadium, Oh my gosh, the Energy five

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: o'clock gates opened at and there were lines, lines and

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: lines and lines three hours before the game, just trying

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: to get a food, beer, swag get into the stadium.

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. And I absolutely loved the music. Oh,

53
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Jennifer Hudson, are you kidding me?

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: Dad?

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: She is a gift to this world. Patty loved bell

56
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh a Philadelphia legend. Her national anthem was fantastic. And

57
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: then you get Miles Teller. Miles Teller with his beautiful

58
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: speech about the country just standing. I mean, it felt

59
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: very Field of Dreams esque to me. Did you get

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: that vibe?

61
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: I did? And I saw Miles Teller before the game.

62
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: I bought him a few years ago at the All

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: Star Game, big Phillies fan, and we had a nice

64
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: chat about baseball for a while. He even asked me

65
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: about my notebook. I guess he knows that I carry

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: this notebook stock. Yeah, he did. He asked me, like,

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: that's your notebook, right? So I explained that was and

68
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: then we talked briefly about baseball, and I shook his hand,

69
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: I walked away. We were talking about and he said,

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: Paul Skeen's spin rate is down this year. That's what

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: he said. No, he did, Miles Teller spin rate is down.

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: He's not being critical, he's just trying to show I

73
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: am keeping track of these things. And then Jeff, we

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: had the first ball ceremony. And I still don't know

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: what this means, Jeff, but Mike Schmidt, the greatest Philly ever,

76
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: and Steve Carlton, the greatest Phillies pitcher ever, threw out

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: the ceremonial first ball. And I want to be kind

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: about this because I haven't seen Steve Carlton in a while.

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: He's gotten old and it made me sad. He's eighty

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: one years old. But I'm still not sure what he

81
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: meant by this. But before he walked out on the field,

82
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: the last person he saw him and Mike Schmidt was

83
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: me because I was standing right there. So Steve Carlton,

84
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: I shook his hand and he looks at me and

85
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: he goes, this could be a Monty Python skit. Now

86
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what that meant. I'm not sure it

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: meant that. I don't know what he meant by that.

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Maybe he meant that a couple of old guys are

89
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: going to go out and throw out the first pitch

90
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: at a major league game, and we can't throw out

91
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: the first pitch very well anymore. Never mind, those guys

92
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: showed up. God bless him. It was really cool.

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: And I mean the the Ray Charles moment in the

94
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: middle of the game.

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: Dad.

96
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, I always am anticipating the stand up to

97
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: cancer moment, which did not disappoint this year. So so powerful,

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: such a cool moment. But I knew that was coming, right,

99
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be happening. So I've

100
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: been in the stadium a couple times now, whether it's

101
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: All Star games or World Series games that it's happened.

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: But that Ray Charles moment, oh my gosh, it was

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: so powerful, kids baseball fireworks. I was texting my wife, Emily,

104
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: who was in bed with our baby at the time,

105
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: and I texted her and I wrote, is this as

106
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: powerful to you as it is to us, meaning those

107
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: who are in the stadium, And she said yeah. So

108
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: to know that the broadcast was able to perceive how

109
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: cool that was. That's really special.

110
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was moved multiple times, nearly to tears last

111
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: night as a dugout reporter at my forty fifth All

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: Star game. I mean that's when you know they're really

113
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: doing it right. And then when they did the takeoff

114
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: on the sandlot and kids came riding their bikes, came

115
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: riding out, I didn't know what was going on because

116
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: it was a surprise, which makes it even better. But

117
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: I was in the dugout when Chuck Torres of Major

118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: League Baseball rounded up Bryce Harper and Freddie Freeman and

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: told him where to go right, because this was all choreographed,

120
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: that Jacob Mizerowski was going to go out and show

121
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: kids had a grip before Seemer and Freddie. It was

122
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: a really really cool thing. And the Phillies, like I said,

123
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: and Major League Baseball really did it right.

124
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did so to major League Baseball, to Phillies fans,

125
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: to everything. It was very special. And Dad, I have

126
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: to thank you before we move on from this, because

127
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: you and I were driving into the city to record

128
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: our podcast. Thank you Ironhill Brewery, by the way, thank

129
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: you for having us in the East Market. Fantastic hosts

130
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: for two shows this week. But you kind of looked

131
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: at me and you said, I'm not gonna tell you

132
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: what to do, but you got to try to go

133
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: to this game. And I originally wasn't playing on doing it,

134
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: and I am so happy that I did. And listen Today, Wednesday,

135
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: day of filming, has been the longest three days of

136
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: my life. Today has been the longest three days of

137
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: my life. I got home at midnight, I woke up

138
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: at three thirty four work, I did morning radio. Woe

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: is me. I've got the greatest, coolest job. I'm not complaining.

140
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm not welding together, Steele, trust me. But then came home,

141
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: got to see you got to do the show taking

142
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: care of two kids. The point of the story is

143
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: you always taught me growing up. You're never going to

144
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: remember how tired you were. You're only going to remember

145
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: the memories you made. And I sat next to dad,

146
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: a father son duo, Nick and Richie. Nick and Richie

147
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: were there together, and Nick, age forty three, was at

148
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: the All Star Game thirty years ago with his dad

149
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: and now he's taking his son. His son named after

150
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: his grandfather, just like I was named after my grandfather

151
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: thirty years separate. Unfortunately, Nick's dad passed away in early

152
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: two thousand, but he felt so connected to his dad

153
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: while he was there, and I'm sorry, call me romantic.

154
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: That's what baseball does, doesn't it. It does it bonds

155
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: fathers and sons. Nick just texted me he's my buddy

156
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: now and he said, Richie wants to say thank you

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: for making him part of the converse. I of course,

158
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the kid the whole time. He's sitting

159
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: next to me, he's trying to get a ball. It

160
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: was so special to see that game through the eyes

161
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: of young Richie and his dad Nick. I was just

162
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: going by myself. Little did I know that I would

163
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: make maybe lifelong friends, good people, and see it through

164
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: the eyes of a kid dad. It was.

165
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: It was special right And at the Ironhill Brewery Tuesday,

166
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: when we went for our second podcast of the week,

167
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: I met an older fellow who said, I shook my hand.

168
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: I took a picture with him, and he said, I

169
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: got to show you something, and he showed me the

170
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: two pens that he had from the nineteen seventy six

171
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: All Star Game in at the VET. So they're much

172
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: older and He just wanted to make sure that, he said,

173
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: these have been in my basement hanging on the wall,

174
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: and I took a picture of them just to remind

175
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: me that fifty years ago I was at the All

176
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: Star Game in nineteen seventy six. Jef. Sorry, the whole

177
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: father son thing just does me in. The whole family

178
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: thing just does me in this time, and it just

179
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 2: warms my heart when I see a father and a son,

180
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: or a mother and a daughter. Just a fa It's

181
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: baseball is a very much a family game. And we

182
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: learned that again. And speaking of that, Jeff, I was

183
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: going to use this as a takeaway, but John Schneider

184
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: had Justin Verlander, playing in his last All Star Game,

185
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: speak to the American League team before the game. He

186
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: gave him the floor and Justin Verlander I was not there,

187
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,479
Speaker 2: of course, but among other things, he said, the friendships

188
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: you make at the All Star Game between the other

189
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: players stay with you for a really long time, if

190
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,359
Speaker 2: not forever. And the same thing happened to you, perhaps

191
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: that you went to a Major League game, met a

192
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: father and a son, and you may end up staying

193
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: friends with them forever. This is what baseball does. It

194
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: connects people.

195
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: It really does. So a successful All Star game. Dad,

196
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm wearing I spent a little too much money at

197
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: the store, Emily said. My wife. I called her and

198
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: she said, go get something for yourself. Go get something

199
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: for yourself. I said, okay, okay. I was looking for

200
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: a Polo golf shirt. They were all sold out of

201
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: my size by the time I made it through the line,

202
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: so I got a couple T shirts. I may have

203
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: gotten a bow from my daughter. What I thought was

204
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: a Christmas ornament. Find out it's a standing pin. What

205
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: is a standing pin. It's the biggest pin I've ever seen.

206
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: I just you know, when they have them on the

207
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: display right when you're walking out. This is like catch

208
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: you at the last minute. Usually those things are like

209
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: ten bucks. It's like forty dollars. But nonetheless, I'm gonna

210
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: have to have Nana gigantic.

211
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 4: It's huge.

212
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: My mother in law, I thought it was a Christmas ornament.

213
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: That's how big it is, and so we collect Christmas

214
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: ornaments from important moments in our lives. I'm like, this

215
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: is perfect. I grab it. It's all good. I'm gonna

216
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: have to have Nana. My mother in law put it

217
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: all together and make it into a Christmas ornament. She's

218
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: crafty just like mom, so maybe she can do that.

219
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: But it was really special. We got to see family

220
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: member Billy Chavodian, who him and I spent a lot

221
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: of time together. And before we move on from this,

222
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: we also saw somebody very very special in the crowd

223
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: and got to spend some time with him as well.

224
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we saw Michael Brown, who we have talked

225
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: about many times on this show. He has als. He's

226
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: a former college catcher, he's a former secret service agent.

227
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: He served our country in many ways. He was at

228
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: the game last night and he called it a bucket

229
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: list moment that he got to go to the All

230
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Star Game. And he sent me the nicest, kindest text

231
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: message this morning about going to the game and what

232
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: it meant for him. And when we get to the takeaways,

233
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what Michael Brown told me because he

234
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: hit it right on the nose.

235
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: It's worth noting too. If you're in the Philadelphia area,

236
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this. We have an event coming

Speaker 1: a financial and emotional standpoint, but so much more. The

00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: All right, dad, let's go to the takeaways.

281
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: What do you got? In the Michael Brown text, I

282
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: received this morning, he said, among the takeaways from last night,

283
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: that's the word he used, was just how hard it

284
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: is to hit in the majors.

285
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah last night.

286
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: Wow. At the All Star Game Tuesday night, there were

287
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: twenty seven strikeouts, fifteen by the American League, twelve by

288
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: the National League. So we had twenty seven strikeouts, which

289
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: is the most in any nine inning All Star game.

290
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: And it's just and there was one extra base hit.

291
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: Just another reminder, Jeb, I'm not defending anybody here how

292
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: hard it is to hit in the big league. We

293
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: made a big point on ESPN Baseball tonight before the

294
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: game that you know, there's no Paul Schemes in this game.

295
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: No Jacob Mizerowski, no Shoheo Tani. A bunch of pitchers

296
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: did not pitch in this game. And my point was,

297
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: I would love to have seen all three. But the

298
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: stuff we're going to see tonight is still going to

299
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: be ridiculous. I mean, anyone who watched Dylan Cease pitching

300
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: the first inning would ask the obvious question, how does anyone,

301
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: how does anybody get to ever get a hit off

302
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: of that guy? He's got four pitches, he's got a

303
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: knuckle curve to go with ninety eight and everything else.

304
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: It's just amazing how good he is. But everyone was

305
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: great last night. So for those people who say baseball

306
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: is boring, I understand there wasn't a whole lot of

307
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: action in the All Star Game last night, But this

308
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: is the game we play, and I'm gonna say it

309
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: for the million time, Jeff. When these pictures with this

310
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: spectacular stuff are able to locate it, the hitters have

311
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: no chance. And it doesn't matter that these are the

312
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: best hitters on the face of the earth. They still

313
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: have no chance when they're up against a pitcher who

314
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: a has tremendous stuff and throws it where he wants to.

315
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: Of course, the flip side is when those great pictures

316
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: missed with location are enormously strong. Hitters don't hit a

317
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: single to left field, they hit it forty rows up

318
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: into the seats. But last night was a absolute strikeout

319
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: fest in the All Star Game. Just another reminder how

320
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: hard it is to get a hit in today's game.

321
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

322
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I was talking to my seat mates Nick and Ritchie,

323
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: and I was just saying, listen, listen, these guys don't

324
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: see these pictures every day. It's like seeing the best

325
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: picture on the team every pitch, every inning, every moment.

326
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, and that's all good. When the Parker

327
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: Messis of the world come out there and just roll

328
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: through an inning.

329
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: He was unbelievable.

330
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: A lot of everybody knows how good he is.

331
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: He's the lefty from Cleveland, right, yes, and he the

332
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: way he throws. Sorry to interrupt, I was on the

333
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: first base side, so obviously lefty. I'm seeing his chest

334
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: right smaller than I thought he would be, meaning like

335
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: just shorter, shorter, smaller, and the way he throws, Like

336
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: we talk about this all the time from a pitching standpoint.

337
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes all it takes is deception, it coming from a

338
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: different area of the eye. And he looked like he

339
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: was like throwing discus. I mean the way his arm

340
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: whipped it was.

341
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: Unbelievable and hitters can't pick that up. Deception is a

342
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: huge part of pitching today. And not only do all

343
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: these pitchers have amazing stuff, a lot of them have

344
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: been taught and have worked on how to make it

345
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: difficult to see the ball come out of your hand.

346
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: And Parker Messig is one of those guys who went

347
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: into a baseball basically pitching lab when he was seven

348
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: years years old. He's been working on this with a

349
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: priv yes, with a private pitching coach, for you know,

350
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: almost twenty years. And this is so as much as

351
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: I dislike we've given a seven year old to a

352
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: pitching coach, it really helped this guy because he pitched

353
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game. But almost everyone who pitched

354
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game was great. So twenty seven

355
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: strikeouts an all time record in a nine inning All

356
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: Star game. It was breathtaking to watch. If you love

357
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: great stuff?

358
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 1: What else did you get?

359
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: Takeaways?

360
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 3: Why?

361
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: The other thing was, Jeff, we can't ever forget the

362
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: great spot that baseball is in right now with young players.

363
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 2: This is how you build your you know, your brand

364
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: with young players. So we had seven rookies in the

365
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: All Star Game. That's the most in any All Star

366
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 2: game ever. We had twenty players twenty five years old

367
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: or younger, and that ties for the most twenty five

368
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: and unders in an All Star game, just proving again

369
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: we're going to keep these guys moving forward and that

370
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: that's important.

371
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: Right Well, I love the rookie game because it also

372
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: seeing the young people know that like, hey, I might

373
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: be eight years old in the crowd. But I could

374
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I could be twenty two to twenty three seeing insert

375
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: rookies name here at his twelfth All Star Game or whatever.

376
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: It could be the next Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Bryce

377
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: Harper in their first year. Now, obviously that's a big ask,

378
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: but someone's got to take over the mantle in ten

379
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: or twelve years. And if you're a rookie and you

380
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: make the All Star Game in the first year, it's

381
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: a very good chance it could be you.

382
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in good hands. And one of those sub

383
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: twenty fives, of course, is Junior camon Aro, who's, you know,

384
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: possibly the MVP of the American League the first half

385
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: of the season, possibly, And he got hit by a

386
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: pitch by Reiley O'Brien, and it was really bad to

387
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: see somebody potentially get hurt in an All Star Game.

388
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: But the kicker is a it's not broken. It's gonna

389
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: be sore, it'll probably affect his swing for a while,

390
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: but at least it's not broken. His fingers, hands, everything's okay.

391
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: But Riley O'Brien felt so bad about that. And I

392
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: was in the National League dugout. He went over to

393
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: see junior Cameron Aro to apologize personally, and they shared

394
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: a hug at the end, like I didn't mean to

395
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: hit you. I'm sorry I hit you, and Cam and

396
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: Aro like said it's okay, man, and they moved on.

397
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 2: So I thought that was a good moment at the allSome.

398
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it was so special to see them share

399
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: that moment. He went into the dug. He went back

400
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: to the X ray room back near the clubhouse to

401
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: make sure and apologize in person. And I think it's

402
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: worth noting too that some of my and this is

403
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: going to sound a little dark, but when you see

404
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: a picture's reaction in the regular season when they accidentally

405
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: let one go and it hits a guy, ninety nine

406
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: point nine percent of the time, they're going, oh gosh,

407
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: oh no, and they're waving and they're making sure they're okay,

408
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: and they're giving them space. Nobody wants to hit these

409
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: guys unless it's a retaliation, and that's a different story.

410
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: But for the most part, you know, I I love

411
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: seeing that aspect at the All Star Game, but you

412
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: see it in the regular season too, which is great.

413
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 2: And last thing, last takeaway, Cody Bellinger won the MVP,

414
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: and he won it with a ground single up the

415
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: middle to drive it two ruds in the first inning,

416
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: which is how you can win the MVP in the

417
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: All Star Game when it's a FOURD to nothing final

418
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: and there are twenty seven strikeouts. But I was on

419
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: the field, of course after the game, doing interviews and

420
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: doing live shots for ESPN, and I saw Clay Bellinger,

421
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: who's Cody's father, and I covered him of course years

422
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: and years ago, when he played for several teams, including

423
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: the Yankees. So he says to me, I said, how

424
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 2: about that. You know your son is the MVP of

425
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, and he looks at me, he goes,

426
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: he never talks about his career. He never talks about

427
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: what he did in the game last night. He never

428
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: boasts about anything. It's just not his style. But he

429
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: said this morning. So the morning of the All Star Game,

430
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: at breakfast, he looked at his dad and said, I'd

431
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: really like to win the MVP tonight. That's what he said. No,

432
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 2: he did, No, that's exactly what he told his father.

433
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: And his father said, what, like, you never talked that way.

434
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: Cody just said, well, he wasn't predicting that he was

435
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: going to do it, but he was making a point,

436
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 2: it would be really cool if I could do that,

437
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: And then he did it. How great is that?

438
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: I am obsessed with that. That is so incredible. I mean,

439
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: you gotta dream it in order to make it happen,

440
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: and I do think it's pretty funny. I was listening

441
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: to the radio broadcast that you guys did on ESPN

442
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: because I left right after the seventh inning. I knew

443
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: I needed to get out of there before the traffic.

444
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: I had to wake up at three thirty blah blah

445
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But I listened to the end of

446
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: the game, and first of all, unceremoniously, he was just

447
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: awarded it. At least Cody Balinger. He is the MVP, Hey, Cody.

448
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: But the point was even he laughed at thinking I

449
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: was just the right guy right time, versus Kyle Schwarber,

450
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: for example, last year, wins the MVP in the first

451
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: and only swing off and obviously wins it three pitches,

452
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: three homers. He's the MVP, or you see other MVPs

453
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: that win it because they went two for two with

454
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: two homers. Whatever it might be. But it was really

455
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: special to see the pitching go head to head, Cody

456
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: Bellinger wins the MVP. Phillies fans were not too pleased

457
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: with that. I will say I know that for a fact,

458
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: but it was a special, special day.

459
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 5: Big second half of the season coming up, there might

460
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 5: be a hot ticket, a rivalry series, a sold out

461
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 5: experience they need to get your hands on, and sea

462
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 5: geek is the spot for that. You can find good,

463
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 5: good pricing. They help you with the pricing green dot good,

464
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 5: red dot not as good. And they help you with

465

00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: All right, dad, what do you have for the court chins?

486
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: Well, I only had one game to work as supposed

487
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: to fifteen in a day or sometimes forty five over

488
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: three days. But I was struck that CJ. Abrams, shortstop

489
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: for the Nationals, hit cleanup in the All Star Game.

490
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: So only one other player has hit for the National

491
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: League has hit cleanup, has the shortstop in the All

492
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: Star Game, and that was Ernie Banks. So I went

493
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: to CJ. Abrams, who's a really young guy and he

494
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: shouldn't even know who Ernie Banks is, and I just

495
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: dropped that on him in the dugout as he was

496
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: waiting to run out on the field and he went like, this, man,

497
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: that is really cool Ernie Banks like that, and I thought,

498
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: oh my gods, he's actually heard of Ernie Banks, who

499
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: was you know, won back to bag MVPs as a

500
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 2: shortstop before switching to be the first basement for the Cubs.

501
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: So I really enjoyed that, and I really enjoyed that

502
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski of the Dodgers celebrated his birthday at the

503
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: All Star Games.

504
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: So oh, that's cool.

505
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 2: So he's the third pitcher to pitch in the All

506
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: Star Game on his birthday. He's the ninth player to

507
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: do it, and one of the pitchers was Justin Steele

508
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago with the Cubs. And this

509
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 2: is the quirk gin. He didn't just pitch on his

510
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: birthday at the All Star Game. It was also it's

511
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: also his son's birthday. Bo. So here's a guy who

512
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: makes the All Star team for the first time, gets

513
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: to pitch in the All Star Game on his birthday

514
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: and it's the shared birthday with his young son. I mean, seriously, Jeff,

515
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: we talk about father's son. Can he get any better

516
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: than that?

517
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: That was my dream. My wife went into labor on

518
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: my thirtieth birthday and McKinley was born the day after

519
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: at three o'clock in the morning. We missed it by

520
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: just a couple of hours. We were there. I thought

521
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: we were going to share a birthday. But now I

522
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: mean knowing McKinley, she'll be three in August, August tenth.

523
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: She's got her she wants her own birthday. She needs

524
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: her own day.

525
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: Missed it by that much.

526
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 5: Shit.

527
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, I am going to boast on

528
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: something that I did the other day on the John

529
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: Kincaid Show at your radio. Stay, yes, all right. I

530
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: have acknowledged get smartest, the greatest, the greatest hitcob ever.

531
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: And I've acknowledged way too many times. And I only

532
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: know about three things of the world baseball, basketball, sitcobs

533
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: from the sixties. So I said it enough times that

534
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: some guy writes in on the air, We're on live TV,

535
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 2: We're on live radio. And John Kinkaid says, all right,

536
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: someone's written in he's got to get smart question. And

537
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh my god, oh no, what if I

538
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: foul up? So he says, when Max Marri's ninety nine.

539
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: They mentioned ninety nine's name in the episode first time

540
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: ever and from first and only time ever night I'm

541
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 2: aware of that, and from nowhere I pulled it out.

542
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: Susan Hilton, Wow, and John, look again, this is nothing

543
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: to brag about. But John Kinky Goes, I can't believe

544
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: you got that right. That's how much I love Get Smart.

545
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: That's how much I loved sitcoms from the sixties.

546
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you say, that's one of the three things, you know,

547
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: baseball sitcoms from the sixties, And that's all. That's pretty

548
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: much it. That's it, not even mowing the lawn anymore.

549
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: I made you get a professional.

550
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: Today, and I don't feed the dog as much anymore.

551
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: So that's good, all right, dad. On this date in

552
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: baseball history, what do you have? I only have a

553
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 2: few of these nineteen forty one. Joe DiMaggio on this date,

554
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: July sixteenth, hit in his fifty sixth consecutive game. So

555
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: this is on this date is the last state that

556
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: he got out during the streak. So the following night

557
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: the streak ended. But just another reminder, a my opinion,

558
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: no one will ever hit in fifty six straight games

559
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: as long as I'm alive, and I'm sixty nine, I

560
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: plan on living at least another forty years.

561
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: Hey, it's not impossible.

562
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: Nobody is going to hit in fifty six games anytime soon.

563
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how great it was. Never Also, Jeff,

564
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 2: remember during the fifty Speaking to strikeouts, Joe Demaggio struck

565
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: out five times during the fifty six games, oh my gosh,

566
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: zero times in the final thirty two games of the streak.

567
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: So again different time, different player, different pitching. All that's different.

568
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: Fifty six games, five strikeouts, zero in the final.

569
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: Shoe Devagio rolling over in his grave watching last night's all.

570
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: Start, right of course? All right? And the only other

571
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: one I have on this date in twenty ten, Benji

572
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: Molina a hit for the cycle, which again Benji Molina

573
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: did it, I believe playing for the Giants. Yes, he

574
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: did it, playing for the Giants. So who are the

575
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: two of the greatest giants ever? I asked you this

576
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: on every podcast now, Jerry Bonds, Willie Mays, right, and

577
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: the other two who you have to remember.

578
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth, Hank Karen Abe never.

579
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: Hit for the cycle. But Benji Molina on this date

580
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: in twenty ten hit for the cycle. How I just

581
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: love those things so much, like how can this happen?

582
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: And we slap our forehead in this sport all the time?

583
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: That's how great it is?

584
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: All right, the alpha best. So every single letter of

585
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: the alphabet we are giving you the best pitcher and

586
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: the best batter, according to Tim Kirkson, that has ever

587
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: played the game. And I am not in charge of

588
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: doing this. I don't really lose sleepover it, unlike you

589
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: I do. I just show up and you already have

590
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: your letters figured out. But I know today is Q

591
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: Q Q is difficult. I'm so worried for you.

592
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: Well, no o, c's in the Hall of Fame, Okay,

593
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: So you gotta gotta and now I gotta find all

594
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: the cues. And I'm not suggesting I'm right about these.

595
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: I'm never suggesting I'm right. I'm just saying this was

596
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: more difficult to find. So Carlos Quinton, former outfielder, has

597
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: the most homers one hundred and twenty four for anyone

598
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: with last name start with Q. And he was a

599
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: good player, and he went to Stanford. He was an

600
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: interesting guy. He got hit by pitches all the time.

601
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: He was intense beyond words. But I remember talking to

602
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: Paul Kanerko about him once when they were teammates, and

603
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: he said that Carlo, I hope I've got this right.

604
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 2: Carlos Quinton used to take this special spray was like

605
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 2: a it was like a perfume it was like, and

606
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: he used to spray it around in his locker, and

607
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: Paul Konerko said, he's got an aura about him, and

608
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: part of that is spraying like spring like perfume in

609
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: his locker to feel really good about what he was

610
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: going to go do when he went out to the

611
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: game that night. Doesn't make him a guy. It just

612
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: shows you again how hard the game is to play

613
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: and what people will do in order to be at

614
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: their best.

615
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: Well, it's okay to call him a weird guy. Baseball

616
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: players can be weird guys. There are superstitions and traditions

617
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: and things you kind of ask and say, what right,

618
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: what are you talking about?

619
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: Right? The QB picture was hard to find also, but

620
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: one of my favorite pitchers ever was Dan Quisenberry, who

621
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: was the closer for the eighty five Royals who won

622
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: the World Series. Dan Quisenberry say, I don't know two

623
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: hundred and forty four games at an era, I think

624
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 2: it was two seventy six. He was a really good

625
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: pitcher and a really smart guy, and he died way

626
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: too early. But he was one of those guys when

627
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: you would go into Kansas City and cover the playoffs

628
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: or a regular season game. I would always make an

629
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: attempt to stop by and talk to dan Quistenberry because

630
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: he looked like a librarian. He looked like a businessman.

631
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: He did not look like a base but he threw

632
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: that submarine style and he was really really good for

633
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: several years. Not Hall of Fame good because his career

634
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 2: ended a little earlier than it should have. But never

635
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: forget how good dan Quistenberry was in his path.

636
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: It's so funny that you would, you know, attribute him

637
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: to being a librarian. That sounds like a cartoon teacher.

638
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, I got.

639
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Doctor Quistenberry today. Right, he's the hardest teacher in school.

640
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: Well, he would have been the easiest teacher in school

641
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: because he had a kind gentle way about him until

642
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: he got into a big league game and then he

643
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: was a completely different pitcher. So in the famous Pine

644
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: Tar Game, dan Quisenberry pitched the final inning in the

645
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: Pine Tar Game. Now, he explained this, and George Brett

646
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: also explained this to me that when they go back

647
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: to replay the ninth inning after all of this was overturned,

648
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: George Brett never even went to the ballpark. Dan Quisenberry

649
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: a closer went on the bust to the ballpark and

650
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 2: he's used to waiting, you know, not eight innings before

651
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: he gets into the game. But he's gonna be the

652
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: first and only pitcher in that game for the Royals.

653
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: And he told me years later that was was kind

654
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: of weird. You know, I'm on the bus, I have

655
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: to get ready for the game, and I'm gonna pitch

656
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: as soon as we get there. I don't have three

657
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: hours to get ready in the bullet then I have

658
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: to get ready right away. Came out seamless ninth, I believe,

659
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: and everything ended up. But dan Quisverry was one of

660
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: those guys who could make you laugh and make you think,

661
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: and he could make you swing and miss because he

662
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: was a really good believer, the best Q pitcher that

663
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: at least I could find.

664
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to. Is this a great game or what

665
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: a fair warning to those watching? My almost three year

666
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: old daughter McKinley just arrived. And I don't believe in

667
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: locking my door when we're podcasting because it would make

668
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: me very, very sad. So she might pop in during

669
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: your Team tim to wrap up the show, but maybe

670
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: we could interview her about the Phillies. So let's rifle

671
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: off these Team Tims. Take your time. Of course, I

672
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: don't want to rush you. You're a Hall of Famer.

673
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: But what do you got for Team Tim?

674
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: Well, we were all moved by the Phillies deal the

675
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: other night where they had everyone sign like they were

676
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: signing the Declaration of Independence when they were starters in

677
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. I enjoyed that. And that doesn't

678
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: suggest that I'm any sort of great history buff because

679
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm not. I had to look up all the signers

680
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: of the Declaration of Independence, and I didn't know most

681
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: of them. I will tell you that. So number one,

682
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna start at first base. Here she is, Hi,

683
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: McKinley hopes it on daddy's lap.

684
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: Come here, baby, So.

685
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 2: Popop's got to do. The most pointless thing that we

686
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: do on this show every week is the Team Tim.

687
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so Kinley, come sit on daddy's lap. You are

688
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Come here. Okay, She's gonna show us

689
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: her ducks. We've got McKinley showing her ducks. You got

690
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: a lot of duckies today at the play place, didn't

691
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: you so cute?

692
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: So cute?

693
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: Okay, come sit on daddy's lap. While we watched Pop

694
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: Up do his team Tim okay, So team Tim with

695
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: Pop Pop going to be a good listener.

696
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: So our first baseman is Matt Adams, John and Samuel Adams.

697
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: Second base is Josh Harrison for Benjamin Harrison. Third baseman

698
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: is Chris Taylor for George Taylor. Did not know who

699
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: George Taylor was, nor did I know our shortstop Bill

700
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: Hall for Liman Hall. Again, I apologize my history is

701
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: not good. Stanley Jefferson is one outfielder, of course, Thomas Jefferson,

702
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 2: Corbin Carroll, who was in the Altar Charles Carroll right,

703
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 2: great movie, yes right from National Right, Harry Hooper who

704
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: was William Hooper, our catcher, our dear friend who I

705
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 2: worked with on Baseball tonight this week, David Ross after

706
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: George Ross, and our two pitchers, and these are I

707
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: should have started with these. Ryan Franklin after of course,

708
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: Benjamin Franklin, and Emerson Hancock after John John Hancock, which

709
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: is probably maybe the most famous one on the signers, correct.

710
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt the most famous one.

711
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: I left. He left him to the end. And speaking

712
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: of the team Tim, I saw Eric Kratz, our friend

713
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 2: from Falt.

714
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: He lived ten minutes.

715
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: From my basement, and he was, you know, he was

716
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: doing the show right after us in Philadelphia on Foul Territory.

717
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: He's a funny guy, and he's a former catcher, and

718
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: he was a good Major league player. So I told

719
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: him all about the two fifty that we had for

720
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: July the fourth. We used two fifty, you know, two

721
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty homers for Raphael Dever. So I said, Eric,

722
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: you were the first guy we mentioned because you weigh

723
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty pounds, and he I think he

724
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: was legitimate, really honored to be on the two fifty,

725
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: even though it was for his weight. He goes, and

726
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: that's exactly what if you had weighed beyond July the fourth,

727
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I would have waited. So there you go.

728
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: Air Kratz makes the two fifty for his weight. And

729
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: we told him about that the other day and he

730
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: seemed pleased.

731
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: Listen, I wish every All Star game could be in

732
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: Philadelphia because that means my dad would be here with us,

733
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: playing with McKinley. Hope, McKinley, can you do me a

734
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: big favor? Can you come say bye to everybody? On

735
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: the podcast. You want to come say bye, come here,

736
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: come up here, Let me see your duck.

737
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: She's got her duckies.

738
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: She's got her duckies. She's occupied. Do you want to

739
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: say bye bye or no? No, she's occupied.

740
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: She just went on.

741
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: She just went to the play the play place with mommy.

742
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: So we had they had a really good time. And

743
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: now dad, you and I get to play grocery store.

00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening and as always, thanks

745
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: for being a part of our family.

746

Speaker 2: Papers sat A
