1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Well, Paulli just dropped a bombshell on us. Here. 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: We're talking about fast food and what constitutes fast food. 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: We've had this discussion all morning long, on and off 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: about fast food and shake Shack and in and out. 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what else is under that umbrella, but 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: mclovin loves shake Shack. And then I said to Paulie, well, 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: then what constitutes fast food? Does it add? Like how 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: fast does it have to be if you're going to 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: have fast food? And Pauli then dropped the bombshell, Well, 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 1: fast food almost has to have a drive through. That's 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: what makes it fast food. That's part of what makes 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: it fast. But you're now modifying that. You said you 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: can't have a drive through. You have to have a 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: drive through to be classics. Like seating likes five guys, 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: that's not the fastest fast food. There's a line, deep lines. 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: It takes a while to get their meal together. It's 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: high end fast food. That's like a special category. It's 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: a newer, cleaner looking, nicer, feeling, much more expensive fast food. Right, 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of um things 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: against five guys in this category because right it's it's 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: not fast, it is expensive and it's good, so that 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: should take it out of the fast food category. Just 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: on those three things. Along the Taco Bell is classic 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: fast food in every way, you eat it late at night, 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: drive through, it's very very very cheap. Chipotle is like 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: corporate fast food or corporate lunches. They don't have drive 28 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: through a chapultae most places who are they at shake shack, 29 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: but those are fast. Chap is fast food in my opinion, 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: it's it's new age fast food right there, you go 31 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: like McDonald's fast food. So then is uh dig in 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: is that fast food? If if Chipotle is so dig 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: in is like if you don't have it in your area, 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: it's a you sort of go through that same line 35 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: where you wait and then they'll get you a bowl 36 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: of food of whether it's like I'll take the Faroh 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: and the chicken and the you know, broccoli or whatever, 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: and you go through. It's just I think it appears 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: to be more healthy fast food digging not fast food. 40 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: Though they move the line really fast. There's way too 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: many choices, there's too many people involved with it, you know, 42 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: fast food there should be a speaker where you can't 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: hear the person. That always a good sign of a classic. 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: So you're just going based on nostalgia. Really no speed cost, 45 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: but how fast is fast? And how fast is not 46 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: fast enough to be fast food? I guess there's categories 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: of it, but like McDonald's and shake Shack are not 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: in the same category. Yeah, I would agree, it's just 49 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: a it's it's a different. I haven't had shake shack. 50 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: I've never had shake Shack. Um chat row, I'm gonna 51 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: say chat row. They someone just said the term fast casual, 52 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: which is maybe a whole other category that we might 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: be talking about it. Yeah, we're open enough fast casual. 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Chick fil a fast food? Right, Yeah, that's 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: a good one too. Have you had that recently? Oh? Man? 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: But Chick fil A has the novelty of it started 57 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: in the South and you had to be in the 58 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: South to get it, which made it kind of like, 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, a niche that you aspire to get. Did 60 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: we solve anything here? No? Anything. What was your favorite 61 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: fast food growing up, Dan or what was the one 62 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: bout your house where you like, Dad's putting us in 63 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: the car.

Yeah. 67 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: There was never where dad loaded us up and said 68 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: we're going to McDonald's. That that never happened unless it 69 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: was our birthday and that's what you chose as your meal. Yeah. 70 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: See yeah, see that's it was like a special thing, 71 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: like last day of school, let's go to McDonald's and 72 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, this is the best. We're 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: gonna get a big mac or like my dad would 74 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: always get a fish file at like what But he 75 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: never wanted to get a coke there because he's like, 76 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: why we have it at home? Why would you get 77 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: it here? And You're like, dude, no, come on. There 78 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: was a McDonald's across the street from ESPN, and I 79 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: remember going over there with somebody and he ordered quite 80 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: a bit of food and didn't need to be ordering 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: quite a bit of food, and then he said, and 82 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: I'll take a diet coke too, And I went like, 83 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: why bother with the diet coke? You just ordered the 84 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: left side of the menu here. Yeah, Bo. There's some 85 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: fast food places that are only in certain areas, like 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: you know, Fat Burger, Water Burger, those kind of places. 87 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: There's a place called Culvers, a smaller chain called Culvers 88 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: that I think it started in Wisconsin, and they have 89 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: ice cream and really good burgers. They put like a 90 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: pat of butter on the burger, which is a big 91 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: thing in Wisconsin. But you can't find them for the 92 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: most part unless you're in Wisconsin's real tease. But that's 93 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: not fast food it is it's do they have a 94 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: drive through? They do, then that's fast food. Yes, yes, Todd. 95 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: The original chicken sandwich at Burger King is a really 96 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: good and the fact that they have onion rings, that's 97 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: something to consider as good as McDonald's french fries are 98 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: Burger King onion rings. When's the last time you had 99 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: fast food? A couple of weeks ago? Okay, I shouldn't 100 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: have you about two weeks ago. Well, that's just when 101 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: you came back to work because you were at home 102 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: back normally I would not that I'm out already. You 103 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: made a made a questionable stop you after putting gas 104 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: in my car. Well, Fritzie does that all the time, though, 105 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: because he won't eat lunch and then you'll stop and 106 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: get fast food on the way. Big mistake. Yeah, and 107 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: Jersey Mix is awesome, but I don't that's not a 108 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: drive through situations. I think that would be off. It's 109 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: subway fast food. Yes, because there's no drive through. There 110 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: is now not not all, but a lot of them 111 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: have drives. Very few have drive throughs. Very few. Yeah, 112 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: I'm club Burger King had a new plant based burger Dad. 113 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: Maybe we could. I've seen the commercial, but I haven't 114 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: been to Burger King Seaton. Last time you had fast food? Uh? Man, 115 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: it's been a lot within maybe like probably a calendar 116 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: year for sure, but um, I can't even remember the 117 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: last time, Paulie. Maybe ten twelve years, Like that's like 118 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,119 Speaker 1: Taco Bell, Burger King. Yeah, yeah, uh probably two thousand 119 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: and five or six, sort of the core four there 120 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 1: if you're looking at those Wendy's. I've had shake Shack, 121 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: but like maybe four years ago. It feels like paul 122 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: it's just removing the places he likes from the fast 123 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: food conversation, so he could be like, I don't eat 124 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: fast food. Yeah, it's been about a decade. Shake Shack. 125 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: This weekend. The kids love it. Yeah, but also I 126 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: used to you know, there's a Wendy's near, especially where 127 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: the old Man Cave was. Yeah, and I'll drive home 128 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: and I get chili to go and a diet coke. Um, 129 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: you know that Wendy's. So yeah, that was my go too. 130 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: I think you can eat a little bit of healthy 131 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: stuff there, be fine if that's a concern. Jamie and 132 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: North Carolina, Hey, Jamie, Hey, Dan six four two fifteen. 133 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: I'm the chef here in Raley, North Carolina. And I 134 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: was just thinking, and I don't want to bother anybody 135 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: by what they call this faster one or Faster two quality, 136 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: but I would say that five Guys is a little 137 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: bit stuff above just because they take whole potatoes, cut them, 138 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, sacling water there, fry them. They take burger meat, 139 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: they make it into their burger mounds and cook it 140 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: on the grill there, whereas like Burger King McDonald's they 141 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: just take frozen stuff, let it sit out and then 142 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: throw it on the grill. Yeah. See like another step. Yeah. See. 143 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: It is interesting because and I kind of agree with this, 144 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: because right, five Guys is a place that uses actual 145 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: real food to make their products so right, they actually 146 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: use potatoes for their French fries, and they actually use 147 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: like actual beef for their hamburgers. So ye, that should 148 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: remove them from the fast food conversation. Right, well, thank you, 149 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: Jamie Stephen Florida.

Well, 168 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: three of you are, apparently if you're joining me, yes, 169 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: I think it's probably me who's not the Hall of 170 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: Famer because most people have absolutely no idea what I 171 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: do here, and they're like, why is he even there? Yeah, 172 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say me. Although I have a great laugh. Okay, 173 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: I get I got a lot of mileage on that, 174 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: but other than that, not really a lot that I 175 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: can hang my hat on it publicly. That'd be like 176 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: saying your Draymond Green to the Warriors. It doesn't happen 177 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: without them. And I'm very unlikable too, so yeah, yeah, 178 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: fairly good kick people on the ground occasionally. Yes, I 179 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: want to change the subject here. So the Hall of 180 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: Fame was supposed to be at the end of this month. 181 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: I still have not heard any what that what's But 182 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: your Hall of Fame induction was supposed to be the end. Monk, 183 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: you never talked about us coming down. What happened there? 184 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: That was? Were we going to be invited to the 185 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame induction. I was curious. I don't, well, 186 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: they canceled this a long time ago, right, but I don't. 187 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't even want to go. I 188 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: kind of I don't want to get up there. And 189 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: why it's lab on, I don't know. I just I 190 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: don't know. You could do with Jordan roast everything. No, 191 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I don't want to do that. You're great, 192 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: those speeches a little bit awesome. Yeah, I don't. I 193 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: don't want to be roasting people up there. Yeah, but 194 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if we were gonna go or not. 195 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's in North Carolina and I don't know. Yes, 196 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: if it's a pay your own way thing, I might 197 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: cut down the yeah, attenden's quite a bit, all right, 198 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: let me well, I know the back rows not going well. 199 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: I was assumed that we would flying private on your dime. 200 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: That was assumed. No, oh, it's gonna be private from 201 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: your bank account, your private bank account. Yeah, yeah, there's 202 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: no there's no jet involved in this casting down again. No, 203 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: we're not affiliated with AT and T or NBC anymore. 204 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: This is this is my money, my dime. Uh if 205 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: I said, you guys had to fly yourself down to 206 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: North Carolina for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony for me, 207 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: who is paying to go down.

But if it's 215 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: a nice hotel, of the buffet dinner involved, I could tuck. 216 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: I'll take care of the flight. No, No, you gotta 217 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: pay your own weathery thing. Yes, you're not on scholarship 218 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: like you're a grown ass man.

Why don't we take the 228 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: the airstream. No, we're not going to take the air 229 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: stream and drive down. Yes, flights are cheap these days 230 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: New York to Charlotte. I can get you in for 231 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: under one hundred and twenty bucks. Yeah, but the ceremony 232 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: is not this year. If you buy it now on 233 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: the change pieces, then yeah, well you gotta have us 234 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: at that speech. I don't have to. I don't what 235 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: if you have jokes at the beginning, Well, Fritzie, I 236 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: don't need somebody to laugh. I don't want to, you know, 237 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: bring in my invite my fans so they'll laugh. Oh yeah, 238 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't need that. Okay, look, you don't need a laugher. Then, 239 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: But whoever goes gets to come on stage and say 240 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: nice things about me? Does anybody want to come on 241 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: stage at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony? If you 242 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: want to, you are afraid you won't get back on stage. 243 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: So here we go. Well, wait, if you get on 244 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: stage and you if you want to get on stage, 245 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: you can roast me. If you come down, you can 246 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: roast me. And here's the thing, everybody wants to follow 247 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: you because they know. Unfortunately that's Paul. He's like, oh, 248 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm going right after Fritzie O three minutes after Todd's 249 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: Expedia right now, you can get a flight from New 250 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: York City to Charlotte. This is not joking with taxes. 251 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: Hold on thirty four dollars and sixty eight cents round trip. 252 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: That's less than a tank a guess. Charlotte's one of 253 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: those airports, by the way, that's been under construction for 254 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: the last twenty five years. Even say every time you 255 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: landed Charlotte, it's always under construction. But they have a 256 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: Bojangles down there at the airport they high end. Now 257 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: is Popeyes is fast food? Right? Yes? And then I 258 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: just found out I don't know why they couldn't afford 259 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: an apostrophee for Popeyes. Okay, Like God bothered me because 260 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: he does own the restaurant ownership, the apostphe with the ownership, 261 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: right answer, it's Popeyes would have an apostrophee. No, but 262 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: it's not Popeye from the Popeye right, No, it's from 263 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: Popeye Doyle from the French connection. It is. I believe 264 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: he loved apparently as he did red beans and rice. 265 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: But it's Popeyes with an apostrophee. But it's not. I 266 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: think the owner says he couldn't afford the apostrophee. I 267 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: think that's his line there. But I was just curious 268 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: about that. Uh, let me see, I got people fired 269 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: up to talk about baseball. You know, I'll get to 270 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: those phone calls after I talk to Mark Grace, the 271 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: former cub grade won a world title with the Diamondbacks. 272 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to get his thoughts on nineteen ninety eight 273 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: with McGuire so so because he was there. He was 274 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: Sammy's teammate, and he was at first base when McGuire 275 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: hit the home run to bake break Roger Marris's record, 276 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: and he congratulated him as he rounded first. And we'll 277 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: talk to Gracie. Coming up. Poll question, McLevin, what are 278 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: we going with? I already put up if I could 279 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: guarantee you one NFL goes off without a hitch and 280 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: roll the dice with baseball or some sort of season 281 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: and playoffs for baseball, Roll the dice with NFL. It's 282 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: pretty close. Actually, sixty said NFL season without a hitch, 283 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: I would have thought everyone would vote NFL. My friend Teddy, 284 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: who used to be in the restaurant business, he says 285 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: quick service restaurants McDonald, Subway, Burger, King, Fast Casual, Chipotle, Panera, 286 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: Bread Shake Shack, casual restaurant, TGI Friday's, Chili's, and out Back. Oh, 287 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm already getting some head shaking. On the other side, 288 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: Paulie agrees Seaton doesn't mostly good qualifications there. Oh no, 289 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: I agree with this. Qualifications. Oh I thought you were 290 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: shaking your head. Yeah, yeah, TJ Fridays and Chili's they 291 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: feel like they're fast food, even though they're not.

Outback 293 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: feels like it's a little bit more removed from that, 294 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: I think because they have a blooming onion. Yes they do. 295 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: And I've never had the blooming onion, Like, oh, you 296 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: gotta try the bloom an onion. No, I don't. There's 297 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: a while though there where the outback was a thing 298 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: at ESPN because we had no restaurants there. People will 299 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: be like, cantin you hear the open I'm an Outback. 300 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: It was like, oh, man, are you kidding me?

Yeah, boy. 302 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: I've always thought the voiceover guy for Outback as an 303 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: American actor doing an Australian accent, because it doesn't sound 304 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: like a real Australian accent. I bet if you did 305 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: a deep dive you'd find that out. You're calling out 306 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: the voiceover guy for Outback. I am, who's with me? 307 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm not with you. I don't want to I don't 308 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: want to go against those people.

He is awakened. He'll be 314 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: joining us. I guess I'm guessing about when I submit 315 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: that entire last segment for the MS for next year, 316 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: or do I cut it down a little bit? How 317 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: do you want this done? The whole thing? I think 318 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: the whole thing as is. How about we just record 319 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: something and then I'm emotional. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't. 320 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: If you pay and you want to go, then you 321 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: can go. But I don't know if I'm going to 322 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: go next year. I don't know. I just I feel 323 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: weird standing up there and you know, talking about myself. Yeah. 324 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: Mclovin by way confirmed its Popeye Doyle and Popeye's Chicken, 325 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: which is, to me, the most bizarre thing I've heard 326 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: all day. I had never heard that. I know a 327 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: lot of stuff, and most of the stuff is not 328 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: pertinent to anything. But that's just another classic example of man, 329 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: he knows a lot of stupid stuff. Yes I am, Yes, 330 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: I am.

Nick Chubb running, ob J healthy, 354 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: They fired up Baker with legit protection. Surprise team Chris 355 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: is really smart. That is not insightful at all. The 356 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns would not be a surprise team. They better 357 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: be good this year because if they're not, Obj could 358 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: be gone, Baker Mayfield could be on his way out too. 359 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, the Browns will be a problem this year 360 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: in a good way. Yeah, mcleven, But I think he's points. 361 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: I mean, guys have moved on. People have moved on 362 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: from the Browns after a year. There's not a lot 363 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: of hype. You know. Do you think the Browns would 364 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: be a surprise team if they won nine or ten 365 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: games this year? Yeah, a little bit. I think they'd 366 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: be preceded it. I bet they're over unders, what eight, 367 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: seven and a half eight? Well, if they don't make 368 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: the playoffs, that's the surprise for me. With the Cleveland Browns, 369 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: I think that you're probably a little more bullish. And yeah, 370 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: people are talking about Drew Locke like everybody's there's new hype. 371 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: I mean, there's new teams being hyped. Well, I know 372 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: that we do that every year. We don't stay long 373 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: on a team and then we move on and Denver 374 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: is going to be the flavor of the month there 375 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: for a little while with Drew Locke, and you know 376 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: he's got some wide receivers. But the Browns, they would 377 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: be a surprise if they don't make the playoffs. I 378 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: was reminiscing with Mark Grace last night, former Cubs Diamondbacks 379 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: All Star first baseman and reflecting back on the nineteen 380 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: ninety eight home run Chase. Mark of course didn't hit 381 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: home runs, but he had a great seat for by choice, right, Gracie, 382 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: you didn't hit home runs back then, Okay, Sammy and 383 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: combined for eighty three home runs, he had six, had seventeen. 384 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: That was a one two punts of the ass me, 385 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: all right, what do you if I say nineteen ninety 386 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: eight and that home run chase, Like, what's one thing 387 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: that you remember the most about that? Oh? My goodness, 388 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: can I give you? Can I give you three things 389 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: should I remember about it? Because you know, ninety eight 390 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: was obviously it was a big deal Sammy and McGuire 391 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: and the home runs excitement over that and every single 392 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: one of their abs was was going on ESPN, and 393 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: it was a big deal. But also for me that year, uh, 394 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: the rookie emergence of Carrie Wood was a huge deal 395 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: in Chicago and in baseball. You know, he had struck 396 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: out the twenty strut. Him and I think Bob Felton 397 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: are the only two to ever strike out their age, 398 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: And uh, that was the thing about that, you know. 399 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: And so so that was obviously a big deal for 400 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: me in Chicago and the Cubs was was, uh the postseason. 401 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, we were in contention all year. We ended 402 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: up winning a one game playoff against San Francisco Giants 403 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: to to go and meet the Brais, and we lost 404 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: the Braves in the next series. But you know, three 405 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: of the biggest stories in baseball we're going on in Chicago. 406 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: The home run Chase carry Wood and his Rookie of 407 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: the Year campaign, and then the Cubs being in the 408 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: postseason that day with Carrie Wood. I think it's the 409 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: greatest performance I've ever seen because that was what carry 410 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: Wood's fourth or fifth start. He's facing the Astros. They 411 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: had a really good hitting lineup and had a great 412 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: hitting lineup. Yes, and I saw a guy throw a 413 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: frisbee that day, and not many pitchers can throw a frisbee. 414 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: Carry would throw a frisbee that day. And I don't 415 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: think they had any chance. I mean, you're there at 416 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: first base. I don't know what you remember about that, 417 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: But those were grown men who had no chance against 418 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: Carrie Wood. Two Hall of famers and Baglon Bigio, more 419 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 1: great hitters in Derek Bell, Moisse Salu. Uh. You know, 420 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: they had they had a great lineup. So that said, 421 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: I remember people you know, after about the second inning, 422 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: I was just like, you know what, I can go 423 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: out there and put my glove on my head because 424 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: because these guys, these guys are not these guys aren't 425 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: hitting the ball. They're not gonna hit the ball if 426 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: they found if they fouled one off, we were like, man, 427 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: carry all right. That was one of the I think 428 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: the metrics. You know, the propeller heads have said that 429 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: that is the greatest game ever pitched in the modern era. 430 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, you guys don't want a metrics 431 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: than I do, so I'm not argue with it. The 432 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: home run chase with I don't know if McGuire enjoyed it, 433 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: but you were around Sammy every day and it felt 434 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: like Sammy was starting to eat this up. He was 435 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: enjoying it a lot more than Mark McGuire. McGuire said 436 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: he felt all this pressure. But what was what was 437 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: Sammy like during that that year? No, he was he 438 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: was loved. He was loving every second of it. And 439 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: and once again it was it was not only was 440 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: it was it him, but it was also our team. 441 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: So we were all in ton because we were we 442 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: were winning games and going for the postseason. Sammy was 443 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: going for the postseason and also going for home run record, 444 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: and so it was he loved every second of it. 445 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: And uh and and we we all, we all got 446 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: into it. I mean, it was a it was a 447 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: it was a big deal. It was a really big deal. 448 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: But you're right, Sammy was the one always with a 449 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: smile on his version seemed like Mac whom I've known, 450 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: you know, since college, he was at USC when I 451 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: was at San Diego State, and it just you know, 452 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: he's and he's a good dude, and he's a and 453 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: he's a fun loving guy. But yeah, he did. He 454 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: did have a bit of a sour puss attitude about it. 455 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I just I look back on 456 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: that and I remember when McGuire broke the record, Uh, 457 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: Roger Marris's record, and you were at first base and 458 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: you congratulated him, which I think opened the door for 459 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: all of your teammates in the infield to congratulate him. 460 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: Did you catch any grief for congratulating McGuire after he home? 461 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: There there was a few. There was a few people, 462 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, local diehard Chicago cup people you know, that 463 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: thought it was bs on my part to do it. 464 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: But I just I just hearkened back when when I 465 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: was a kid, and I think we all people our age, 466 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: and I all remember where we were, Hank when Hank 467 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Aaron Boat broke up Babe Bruce Recu seven fifteen. I 468 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: remember when he was running the basis. I saw Davey 469 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: Lopes shake his hand after he hit the home run 470 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: off al Downy and I and I that's and I said, 471 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: you know what, that's all right, you know. And then 472 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: when Mac didn't, it wasn't so much about you know, 473 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: showing up Steve Tracks or showing up anybody. We just 474 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: witnessed history. Man, you know that that nobody else had 475 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: ever done what Mac did at that time. Though, Yeah, 476 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: that was pretty cool to her. Congratulations. But and if 477 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, if you if you didn't, if you 478 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: didn't like a tough s word. You know, he's a 479 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: Mark Gray's former Cub diamondback alest Our first baseman. But 480 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: as great as McGuire and so so were that year, 481 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: Barry Bonds was at a different level well than we've 482 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: ever seen in the history of the sport. And so 483 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: you're at first base when Bonds is up, you're probably 484 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: not worried about a liner to first. It felt like 485 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: if Bonds was swinging, he was trying to hit a 486 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: home run every single time. He rarely hit a ground ball, 487 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: that's for sure. He was he was a pull you know, 488 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: he was a pull hitter. But but I wasn't too 489 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: worried about him. You know, Charlie Brown and me with 490 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: a line drive because they were they were usually going 491 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: over into the drink and McCovey cove. But uh yeah, 492 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: the thing was, the thing was Bonds was you know, 493 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: the year that he hit seventy three, I think was 494 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: it was that the total seventy three. Yeah, but the 495 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: year he hit seventy three, he was impersonally walked so 496 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: many times, so many times, I know back and Sosa 497 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: didn't get intentionally walking near as much as as uh 498 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: as Barry did. And Barry still so. So the bottom 499 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: line and you know those last you know, a couple 500 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: of years for Barry when he was hitting all the 501 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: home runs, if you didn't walk him, he hit a 502 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: home run. He didn't hit a double, if you pitched 503 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: to him, if the if the catcher got down in 504 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: his in his cross behind the play, he hit home. 505 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: That was what he did. So basically, I did put 506 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: my glove on my head because it wasn't coming to me. 507 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: Is Sosa ever going to be welcomed back by the Cubs? 508 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I don't really know that whole scenario. 509 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: I was not in Chicago when when that divorce happened. 510 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: I had I had left a couple of years earlier, 511 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: So I don't know, uh exactly what went on in 512 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: the clubhouse and what went on. I know he got 513 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: I know he got caught with cork in his bat, 514 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: and then I know he uh there was he left 515 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: early on the last game, the last game of the season. 516 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: He didn't didn't come to I don't know exactly what happened, 517 00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I think I think you hell, 518 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: they welcomed me back. Why wouldn't they welcome back Sammy. Yeah, 519 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: but you didn't do anything wrong. Thank you, Dan, Thank 520 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: you so much. You've always had my back. And I'm 521 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: getting getting a little misty eyed now that you said that. 522 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: But now you know, when I left, it wasn't in 523 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: under the greatest of circumstances. They have their side of 524 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: the story. I have my side of the story, and 525 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: there's always a third side of the story, so uh 526 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: that said, yeah, it was when Sammy left, there was 527 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: I think there was a little more uh tension as 528 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: far as how how he behaved and how how things went. 529 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I had a better answer, because 530 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I was busy out in Arizona, you know, 531 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: finishing up my career. But I don't really know other 532 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: than that. But I would say, you know, for the 533 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: Cub's sake and for Sammy's sake, I think, you know, 534 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: welcome him, welcome me him back would probably make a 535 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: lot of fans, Cub fans happy. Yeah, but it's kind 536 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: of hypocritical that the Cubs celebrated those sold out crowds 537 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: because you know, in large part are certainly a pretty 538 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: good share of Sammy Sosa, a lot of merchandise there. 539 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: And then now it feels like they're distancing themselves from 540 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: a Peed user. So I don't I don't know if 541 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: and it's new ownership there, but I don't know if 542 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: that factor is in at all. Gracie, Yeah, that's a 543 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: that's a that's a great point. And you know, there's 544 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of Peed users that that are not 545 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: banished from their teams Uh, you know that, Like you said, 546 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: you know all the merchandise, all the crowds that were there, 547 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: uh to see because I remember when the year that 548 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: Sammy McGuire. I remember if it was like the seventh 549 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: or eighth inning and I hit behind Sammy, and Sammy 550 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: would his last it's going to be his last at bat, 551 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: and and he'd he'd either hit a homer or he'd 552 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: hit a single, or he'd make it out or whatever 553 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: he did. Right after his that bat was Overwood. More 554 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: than half the crowd would would would hit to the 555 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 1: the exits and now hitting Mark Gray. So I'm just 556 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: getting a bunch of a bunch of asses ahead of 557 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: the eggs. And I'm just like, hey, wait a minute, 558 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. Ah. How were you not tempted to 559 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:20,959 Speaker 1: use steroids? I'm going to give you the honest answer, Dan, Okay, Uh, 560 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: I was. I was a single man in Chicago, and 561 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: that stuff is bad for your get up and go, 562 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. So, so I wanted 563 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: to continue to have the ability to get it up 564 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: and go. So that's a that's a big reason. Uh. 565 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: Second of all, I don't think myself my swing was 566 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: conducing I wasn't a fly ball hitter. I was. I 567 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: hit line drives and groundballs for the most part. If 568 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: I if I elevated the line drive, it would go 569 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: out of the ballpark. So I just don't think. I 570 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: was never interested in it. Um, And I'm glad I 571 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: didn't because now looking back on my career, my numbers 572 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: were my numbers, not of surringerous numbers. They were my numbers, 573 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: and I'm proud of that. Twenty four hundred hits, three 574 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: hundred batting average. UM. All right. I told the story 575 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: about Randy Johnson the other day on the air when 576 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: you were you were in Arizona and you were playing 577 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: the Cubs. You were in Chicago, and I go to 578 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: see you in the locker room, you and Luis Gonzalez 579 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: and Randy Johnson's pitching that day, and you guys convinced 580 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: me to go say a load to Randy Johnson that 581 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: didn't go well on game day, like you doing. I 582 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't talk to him when he wasn't pitching, and knowing 583 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: what I know now, but you guys, go say a 584 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: load of unit man, go come out. He'd love to, 585 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: you know. Blah blah blah. I walked down there and 586 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: he just stared at me. Yeah, he's yeah. We were 587 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: trying anything we could to try to get him in. 588 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: Randy said, bother him or so marriage going out and 589 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: dominated us and we had no chance. But you know, 590 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: the like somebody asked me day and to compare um 591 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: to the two best pictures of at least you know, 592 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: you got to throw Roger Clemens in there too, But 593 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: two of the best pictures of our Randy, Randy Johnson 594 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: and Greg Maddox. And I'm like, oh, this is interesting. 595 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: I said, well, do you remember, like there was there 596 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: was two guys that you absolutely hated in high school. 597 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: You hated the bully that were waiting for you in 598 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,959 Speaker 1: the in the bathroom and stealing your lunch money. You 599 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: hated that guy. Well, that that was Randy Johnson on 600 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: the mountain. Randy was a big bully that would steal 601 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: your lunch money. And then Greg Maddox he was like 602 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: the he was like the the valedictorian that got a 603 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 1: hundred on every test and set the curve at a hundred. 604 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: And you hated that guy too. That was that was 605 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: Greg Max. So so what there were the two guys 606 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: you hated in high school. But one was the bully 607 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: reason and the other thing. The other one was the 608 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: ballot atory and reason. Uh, I know that we've told 609 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: this story. We had we had Maddox on when he 610 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: told this story, when he got a little more excited 611 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: on the mound than you wouldn't normally expect somebody to 612 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: get excited. He's told him he really loved pitching him 613 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: his get up and go. So you're at first base, 614 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: and when do you notice that Greg maddox is he 615 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: went from six o'clock to midnight. Well, he threw a pitch, 616 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: and I remember he was kind of he was kind 617 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,719 Speaker 1: of favoring, like you know if if a pitcher or 618 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: any player kind of kind of pulls a groin or 619 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, they started walking strange. So, man, there's our 620 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: there's our bread and butter guy out there, our cy 621 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: young guy. I run to the mount.

I'm like okay, I'm like, what's going on? 624 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: And he told me basically how how excited he was 625 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: to be pitching that day. And and I told him, 626 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: I told him, I said, well, you just loved and 627 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: and he told and he told the wrong guy too, 628 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm not going to keep that to myself. 629 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: That's a that's a story that had to be shared. 630 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: Oh my god, so needless to say, uh uh he 631 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: went he went on to uh too bigger, and I 632 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: guess you could say after that that was it's it's 633 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: just it's just one more It's just one more thing 634 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: that you know, you can't believe these things actually happened 635 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: in the game, but they did. And it's amazing. You 636 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: went through a lockout and a strike, I believe.

Well I think they better, they 639 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: better because you know, this this unprecedented, you know, coronavirus stuff. 640 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's just decimated. Not on baseball, it's decimated sports. 641 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: You know, I never realized how much I loved watching 642 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: sports on TV until they were all taken away. Jeez. 643 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: I was watching Matt Williams and managed Korean baseball for 644 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: all the just so so and I'm sorry, but you 645 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: watch those games and you just realize, man, midjor league 646 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: baseball needs to come back. And that said, uh yeah, 647 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: I went through I went through too. I was locked 648 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: out one time and I went on strike one time. 649 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: And you know the replacement players and all that. I 650 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: was a disaster and you know all that, But I 651 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: just recall both times that I went on strike. The 652 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: court of public opinion, no matter no matter what is 653 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: said and no matter what has done, h owners, there's 654 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: the bad guys. No, the players are the bad guys. 655 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: You know, they're going to point things at each other, 656 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: but the court of public opinion Dan, and I think 657 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: you'll agree with me, is always always against the players. 658 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: Ninety percent of the fans are blamed the players anytime 659 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: there's a work stoppage. And I think Tony Clark and 660 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: his crew, I think they understand that, but they need 661 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: to really understand it because this is a this is 662 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: an important to s Yeah. Yeah, because attendance has been dropping, 663 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: and you know fans are they move on eventually when 664 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: when they don't feel like a league of sport invest 665 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: in them or cares about them. Uh, you know, after 666 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: a while, and you know that you got the oldest 667 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: target demo in all of sports as your baseball fan, 668 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: and you know you're flirting with a whole generation that 669 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: you're just moving on past, and it's unfortunate, really is well. Yeah, 670 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: and you know, the game was losing fans because the 671 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: beauty of the game, especially on the offensive end, uh 672 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: is going away. You know, it's all launch angle, It's 673 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: all it's all you know, this launch angle and spin 674 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: righting and all these all these things have led to 675 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: record not record breaking, record shattering home runs and record 676 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: shattering strikeouts. So that kind of after a lot of 677 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, the beauty of the hitting around or or 678 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: the suicide squeeze or even it's just or the stolen base. 679 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: It's like there's only you know, a handful of guys 680 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: a steel bases anymore. So that that part of the 681 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: game has gone. And I think a lot of a 682 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: lot of fans, especially the older fans, they missed the 683 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: beauty of of of baseball and they are becoming a 684 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: little bored with, you know, the all or nothing thing 685 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: that baseball has become offensively good to visit with you 686 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: and stay in touch, always a pleasure, my friend.

I saw this on TMZ's website. 700 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: Todd McFarlane he bought the Mark McGuire baseball three million dollars, 701 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: the baseball that broke Roger Marris's all time home run record, 702 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: and he bought it for He paid two point seven 703 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: million dollars for it, but after taxes and fees, he 704 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 1: dropped a little over three million dollars. I was curious 705 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 1: what it's worth now, and TMZ Sports had some information 706 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: from some people who deal in memorabilia. Its current value 707 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: is around two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand dollars. 708 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: Barry bonds seventy third home run, the all time single 709 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: season high that brought in about five hundred thousand dollars. 710 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: But McFarland got caught up and he's got the money. 711 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: But he got caught up in you know, nineteen ninety 712 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: eight with the home run chase, and he bought that 713 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: ball for three million dollars and now worth about two 714 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: and a half to four hundred thousand dollars. A couple 715 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: of phone calls in there. I'd never heard Mark Grace 716 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: you know why he didn't use steroids, so the actual reason, 717 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: not joking, was that he wanted to be able to 718 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: have some get up and go off the field. I'd 719 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: never heard that. So if Gracie had been married at 720 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: that time, he'd have two hundred more home runs and 721 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: probably be in the Hall of Fame. What would have 722 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: been able to do there? Mike in New York, Mike, 723 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: thanks for holding what he have. Hey, guys, that was 724 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: a fantastic interview with Mark Cray. I just wanted to 725 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: talk baseball with all without any of this other nonsense. 726 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: So I hope people, you know, appreciate that because I 727 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,720 Speaker 1: just wanted to celebrate the game a little bit instead 728 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: of talking about all this negativity. So thank you, Mike. 729 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: Let's immensely. And that's I think that's the concern the 730 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: baseball should be fearing out of sight, out of mind. 731 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: You know, the game is already disappearing in about forty 732 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: DOUBLEA markets, Premier League is about to start up, NHL 733 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: is about to start up. And for me, those are 734 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: all in sports for me, you know, of course, baseball, 735 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: I mean football and basketball. You know, what are they 736 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: going to do? I think folks like me, with a 737 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 1: family of five, I'm a non traditional I don't have 738 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: season tickets to baseball. Folks like me, families like me, 739 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: they will find another outlet for their entertainment dollars. They 740 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: will know. And it's a great point, Mike, and I 741 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: appreciate the phone call, no I, and I'm sure baseball 742 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: understands it. But they're stuck in right now my ompic view, 743 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: and it's dangerous. Breton, California, Hey, Brett, I could listen 744 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,479 Speaker 1: to you talk story of Grace all day. Good Man. 745 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: He's a good He's a good dude, he really is. 746 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: He's This is how goofy he is. We would I 747 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 1: joked about how slow he was and he stole a basse. 748 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: I was in left field and he stole a base. 749 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,280 Speaker 1: He got up to dust himself off, and he pulled 750 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: his pants down a little bit to moon me in 751 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: left field because I'm there as a fan, and he 752 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: just wanted to say I can steal bases. He stole 753 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: seventy basses in his career, but in that moment he 754 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: mooned me when I was in left field, just to 755 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: say take that. So what's on your mind, Brett? You know, 756 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: Jeff Passon put out an article last night. I'm considering MLB, 757 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: and there are a couple points I wanted to point 758 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: out to you and just get your thoughts on them. Okay. 759 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: I feel like with you know, the owners, they're making 760 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: a lot of money in these franchises or they wouldn't 761 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: own them, and yet there's no transparency. And I think 762 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 1: that's what the problem with the players are. They think 763 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: the owners are making tons of money and they want 764 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: to get their peace. So when the owners are coming 765 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: back saying we're not making any money, we got to 766 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: cut your salaries, they don't believe them. Yep, yep, You're 767 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: not going to get total transparency. Sorry, Brett. We're up 768 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: against the break. But and I understand that the owners 769 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: don't want to open their books. It's just not pretty 770 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: and I don't know who the grown up in the 771 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: room is and that's what's going to take maybe a 772 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: couple of them. Final hour coming up, Dan and the Dan. 773 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: That's Stan Patrick Show.
