00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: the Mets, I don't even know I like it. Billy,

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: you were criticizing it the other day.

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: What part of it?

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: Don't you like? The money? The picture?

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: I mean, but what do you care, honestly about how

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: much money he's gonna cost Steve Cohen, like he's super rich.

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: What difference does it make? Ite's that costing you any money?

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: Because I've spent I don't know fifteen twenty years on

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: the radio saying you don't give that kind of money

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: to a picture like you just don't get three years now,

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: listen ten and two with like a two to one

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: five e R at City Field. So that podes well

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: for the Mets. But Billy, you don't give them money

39
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: they get. Listen, the Mariners gave that type of money

40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: to Felix Hernandez can Field.

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: Felix, Yeah, and where's Felix Hernandez? Now, well he was third.

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 5: Speaking of the manager the Mariners, the good mac Schuzer

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: is gonna make more money than their entire payroll.

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Mac Suzer is making more money.

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 6: In one year than the Mariner's entire payroll.

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: I think he was a two or three teenth right,

47
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: Yeah too, the.

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 6: Pirates, I think it's the other one.

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: But Mike give them the stand From my standpoint, I

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 3: guess Billy's right, like, it's not my money, what do

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: I care? The Mets are better today than they were yesterday. Okay,

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: like there's no But from my standpoint, the will Ponds

53
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: who got caught up in the whole you know, Ponzi

54
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: scheme with Bernie Madoff, and they weren't spending money the

55
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: way Met fans wanted them to spend money. At least,

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: now we have an owner who's willing to spend the money.

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: Might not be good money, but but he's willing to

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: spend the money. And that's all you can ask of

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: your owner.

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: Mike Y is, yeah, But the problem is, at one point,

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: at some point, somebody who has a lot of money

62
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: looks at their bottom line and goes, no, this isn't

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 5: working out, and then they cut off this Pigott.

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 6: It happens with every person who has a lot of money.

65
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: Listen, Lindor north of three hundred million dollars, he was

66
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: great last year.

67
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: Do you know what this shures a contract felt like?

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 7: To me?

69
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 6: This felt exactly like Phil Jackson going to the Knicks,

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 6: where he was like, I have no interest in going

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 6: to New York.

72
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 5: And Dolan went, no, we're gonna give you more money.

73
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 5: He's like, I appreciate that, but really I don't want.

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: To come to New York. All right, how about if

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: we give you.

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 6: Even more money.

77
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 5: Look, I really don't want to come to New York.

78
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 5: All right, we're gonna give you an obscene amount of money.

79
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 5: All right, I'll come to New York. I won't there

80
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: when I'll come to New York. That's what this shures

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 5: of contract felt like.

82
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: Right and that listen, now you got me worried. He's

83
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: not gonna pitch they want to fill the coach. He's

84
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: gonna be batty third plady short stop for the Mounts.

85
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 5: He's gonna be on the mound with a beer gut,

86
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 5: just like I don't know I got forty three million

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 5: here hit this Stuet's.

88
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: Is there any place that you wouldn't go for a

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: certain price aside from Suit Falls?

90
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 3: Dan once said he would turn down one hundred million

91
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: dollars to live in Detroit.

92
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: For a year, for a year.

93
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: I think it was a year. Yeah, yeah, Detroit. I

94
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: mean I'm not turning that down. I can tell you

95
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: that much. Is there a place I wouldn't go for

96
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: the right amounts?

97
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 8: No?

98
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: Now that just has me curious as what was the

99
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 4: amount that you would have needed to go to Suite

100
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,400

00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,719

00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: I have to tell you. But Bobby, I've talked to

173
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: you so many times Dan and I have over the years,

174
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: and at some point it came up, and for some

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: reason I retained it, which I never do. But you

176
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,960

Speaker 8: I know your voice and I appreciate your memory. Yeah,

178
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 8: you know, I ran indoor track back in those days,

179
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 8: you know, and the events were in yards, not in meters,

180
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 8: and I think they switched to meters soon after I

181
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 8: got out. So someone told me I still have records

182
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: that will never be broke because they'll never run in

183
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 8: the yards again. You know, I ran the sixty yards.

184
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 8: I ran the sixty yard dash and the three hundred

185
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,719

00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: being a track store.

201
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: I was a pole vault right. I wasn't I wasn't

202
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 4: fast enough and I didn't have the endurance to do

203
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 4: the long distance. I couldn't jump high or far, so

204
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: I had to use an instrument to help propel me.

205
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 4: I was a pole vaulter.

206
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 8: Takes a lot of skill, dude, Thank you.

207
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,120

Speaker 8: William clay Ford, Yeah, Ford exact.

210
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,720

211
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: down at someone like Billy who's using an instrument to

212
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: help propel himself.

213
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 8: No, no, anybody who has the precision to put it

214
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000

Speaker 8: the phone. He would transcribe whatever the heck guy was saying,

240
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 8: and then he put it on pages, put it into

241
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 8: a book. And people tell me it's a pretty good read.

242
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,960

Speaker 2: Yes.

245
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 8: And when I read, when I read some of the chapters,

246
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 8: I said, why did I leave out all those important things?

247
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 8: But then when people read the chapters, they say, hey,

248

Speaker 8: I got it, I got it, So it's okay.

249

250
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,920

Speaker 8: they named a street for me, and it's called Valentine's Way.

253
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 8: And my best friend, or one of my best friends

254
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 8: I'll call my best friend and my partner in the

255
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 8: sports business, who also is my partner in the restaurant business,

256
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 8: who also is my third base coach and my bench coach.

257
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 8: In Japan, Frank Rampon lived on this street called Valentine's Way,

258
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 8: and his line to everyone was, Bobby and I have

259

Speaker 8: been together for four years doing things, and I've always

260

Speaker 8: know that's pretty cool. I like to day.

262
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: Bobby Valentine is with us here odd stupidity. This is

263
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: very exciting because there's a lot of stuff going on

264
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: in baseball. We'll get to that in just a second.

265
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: But his new book is out. It's Valentine's Way, My

266
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: Adventurous Life and Times. It's available right now. Bobby, you

267
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: dip your toe into politics recently running for mayor. You

268
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: lost that election, but did you enjoy How did you like,

269
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: do you still want to get into politics? And how

270
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: was you kind of dipping your toe into the political waters? Bobby,

271
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: that has to be a little bit jarring.

272
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 8: I would say, well, once again, if you read the book,

273
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 8: you realize I do a lot of things that I've

274
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 8: done a lot of things, and you know, I didn't

275
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 8: want to get into politics. I wanted to get into governing.

276
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 8: I'm from Stanford, Connecticut. It's my hometown. I've invested a

277
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 8: lot in it. People invested a lot of their life

278
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 8: in me. And a town of one hundred and thirty

279
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 8: five thousand, I thought needed some leadership and I happened

280
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 8: to have that in my bag of tricks that I

281
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 8: have managed and led, and I just thought it'd be

282
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 8: a great thing to do, not only for me, but

283
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 8: for the city and the politics thing of it. WHOA,

284
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 8: you know, I ran unaffiliated in a democratic city where

285
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 8: we have forty percent of the people vote Democrat and

286
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 8: almost do it party line all the time. But I

287
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 8: had people cross lines, and as an unaffiliated I had

288
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 8: unaffiliated independence and also Democrats. Give me some of the

289
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 8: fourteen thousand votes that I got and it took cut

290
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 8: fifteen thousand a win.

291
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 6: Bobby, I'm your neighbor over here in Trumbull. And let's

292
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 6: not talk about Caroline Simmons. I know she cheated this election,

293
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 6: all right, we won't.

294
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: We won't get into that. But I got a nine

295
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: hundred dollars car tax bill?

296
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 6: How do we get rid of that?

297
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 8: Me and you are I was working on that. You know,

298
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 8: I don't know why how you get elected? No taxes,

299
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 8: no car taxes? You have something in common with Caroline? Anyway,

300
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 8: won't I won't go.

301
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: There, Mikey, he brought it there, Bobby, I'm wondering. I

302
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: don't think many people know this about you, but in

303
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: high school we mentioned that you were a track star.

304
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: You're also a football star. You were obviously baseball star.

305
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: You are a dancing starre We'll get to that as well.

306
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: How close were you to playing football because you ended

307
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: up going to USC. You had choices between Notre Dame

308
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: and USC. I think you chose USC. How close was

309
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: Bobby Valentine to playing football?

310
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 8: Well, I guess I was probably a couple draft choices away.

311
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 8: You know, I was hoping and praying that I get

312
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 8: drafted by one of the New York teams. The Mets

313
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 8: had the first pick, they took Tim Foley, and the

314
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 8: Yankees had the fourth pick, they took Thurman Munson, and

315
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 8: then the Dodgers had the fifth pick, and they took me.

316
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 8: And they were convincing enough. And we're waiving more money

317
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 8: than my dad, twice as much money as my dad

318
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 8: had bought his house for. And so for that sixty

319
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 8: thousand dollars, I thought, I'll forego the football in college

320
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 8: and I'll play baseball. But I had all intentions. I

321
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 8: signed the letter of intent. You know, I was going

322
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 8: to USC. Supposedly, you know, John McKay said that I

323
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 8: was going to wear thirty two right right after the

324
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 8: guy who was there was wearing thirty two and that

325
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 8: guy was O. J. Simpson. So it was all kind

326
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 8: of in line that I was going to run behind

327
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 8: those sixteen linemen, that they would run around the corner

328
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 8: if you remember those days where USC ran the ball

329
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 8: just about every snap that they had, and I was

330
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 8: looking forward to it. But you know, the the enticement

331
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 8: of playing professional baseball. Matter of fact, Al Campannis, the

332
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 8: general manager that Dodgers, said to me, Hey, listen, you

333
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 8: could go out there and play sports against the best

334
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 8: players in the Pack eight and that's what it was then,

335
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 8: the Pack eight, and they're all good players on the

336
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 8: West Coast. Or you got to sign a professional contract

337
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 8: and play against the best players in the world. What

338
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 8: do you want to do? And I said, ohoo, that's

339
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 8: a pretty pretty good ask. I think I want to

340
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 8: play against the best in the world. He said, good,

341
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 8: and sign here.

342
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: And you did if you tell you it if you

343
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 3: were able to take the money out of it, and

344
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: obviously you weren't. But if you were able to take

345
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: the money out of it, you didn't need money. Bobby,

346
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 3: do you imagine that you would have played football instead

347
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 3: of baseball?

348
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 8: Well, it really wasn't about money. I'd like to you know,

349
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 8: that was a part of the contract for sure. But

350
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 8: you know, baseball was really my love. Football is a

351
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 8: fun game day. I hated, you know, Sunday through Friday.

352
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 8: I didn't like practicing football at all. You know, you

353
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 8: got nothing to do but run, and it took about

354
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 8: ten minutes to learn the new plays and then you

355
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 8: wait around for a game. I like game day, and

356
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 8: baseball offered the game day a lot more often than football.

357
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: Did.

358
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 8: You were a.

359
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: Champion ballroom dancer, which I find amazing. How did Bobby Valentine?

360
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: Because Billy, are you shocked? Are you shocked by all

361
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: the accomplishments of Bobby Valentine? I mean, dance on track, star, football,

362
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 3: st our, baseball's are How does one become a champion

363
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: ballroom dancer? Well, you go to dance class, and.

364
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 8: You know, back then, dance class was the boys lined

365
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 8: up on one side, girls lined up on another, and

366
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 8: then the teachers would be in the middle of the

367
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 8: group and they'd show a test and then you'd walk

368
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 8: to the center of the room. You get a partner

369
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 8: and you'd try to do that dance step. Well, my

370
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 8: feet in my brain kind of worked together and so

371
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 8: the steps came easy for me. And before I knew it,

372
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 8: I had a steady partner, someone who I waited or

373
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 8: I stayed after class with, and we not only did

374
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 8: the steps that they were teaching, then we did other steps,

375
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 8: and by the time we were doing our steps good

376
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 8: enough together, the Bill di Fermatto, the guy who ran

377
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 8: the school, said I think you should enter a competition,

378
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 8: and so we practiced and practiced and practice. The next

379
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 8: thing we knew you were at the Waldorf Astoria in

380
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 8: New York City. There were people all up in the balconies.

381
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 8: I was wearing a touxedo. My partner had this flow,

382
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 8: beautiful flowing dress. There were guys walking around with little

383
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 8: score cards and they had touchedos on and we were

384
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 8: in a dance contest. Then three years later, we want

385
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 8: enough of them to go to the Fountain Blue Hotel

386
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 8: in Miami Beach, Florida and competed in the International Dance Competition.

387
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 8: So it was cool. It was really cool.

388
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: I feel like you missed your calling, like in terms

389
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 4: of like the social celebrity of like Dancing with the

390
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: Stars by like ten years, right, Like if Dancing with

391
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: the Stars would come along, like ten years earlier, you

392
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: would have been like this national phenomenon that everybody knew.

393
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 4: Not that you're not, but it would have been a

394
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: whole other level.

395
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 8: Could have been a whole another level when that you know,

396
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 8: interestingly enough, and it's not in the bookwet, but when

397
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 8: that started. One of the of that was a guy

398
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 8: from Westchester, Mitch Slater, and Mitch kind of called me up.

399
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 8: He's a friend of a friend and he said, hey,

400
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 8: do you want to do this? At the time, though

401
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 8: I had a crooked leg, I was an older guy.

402
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 8: I didn't have the balance and all of the dexterity.

403
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 8: I mean, I could do the steps, but I didn't

404
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 8: have really what it took. But I could have been

405
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 8: on one of those original shows that it really would

406
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 8: have added to my brand.

407
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: You never think, let me call Mitch now, I'm feeling

408
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 4: a little bit better. You look great. I don't know

409
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 4: how you look this seventy one. Maybe you could tell

410
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 4: us that secret later on, but you never think, let

411
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: me call Mitch up and give it a go.

412
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 8: Ouch. Yeah, we lost Mitch last year. Actually, he was

413
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 8: a terrific guy and he has since sold the program.

414
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 8: He and I'm trying to think of his partner's name.

415
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 8: He was really well known. He has billboards and I forget.

416
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 7: Uh.

417
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a cool guy.

418
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: That's gonna stick with Billy for a while.

419
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 8: No, Mitch, Mitch just looking down right now, saying, hey,

420
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 8: thanks for the mention, dude. He's a good guy.

421
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bobby, Bobby Valentine with us. His new book is out,

422
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: Valentine's Way, My Adventurous Life at times. It's available now. Bobby,

423
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: how do you imagine you would mesh with Steve Cohen,

424
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: the Mets new owner. Well, you know, I I know,

425
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: what do you laugh at at? Bobby? He's meddlesome. I

426
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: like it. I'm a Mets fan. He's meddlesome. I don't

427
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: mind it. He's active on social media. I like the

428
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 3: money he's But I can't imagine Bobby V being okay

429
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: with a metalsome owner like Steve Cohen.

430
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 8: But I don't know if he if it's medicine, he's

431
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 8: a he's a guy who's enjoying the ownership. You know,

432
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 8: he's he's not going to run away from situations. He's

433
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 8: embracing you know what it is to negotiate contracts, and

434
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 8: you know, I'll tell you just a quick story. I

435
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 8: think it's in the book. When I started a foundation

436
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 8: in Stanford for Mickey Leoni, a great coach who passed

437
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 8: away much too early and a friend of mine. One

438
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 8: of the charity events we did, I auctioned off that

439
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 8: I would do dinner at someone's house and I would

440
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 8: make my mom's recipe, and I cooked for twenty people,

441
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 8: and people raised their hands, and all of a sudden,

442
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 8: this one gal started really raising her hand, and she

443
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 8: bad an awful lot of money, and she won the bid,

444
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 8: and I went to her house and I made dinner

445
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 8: for twenty And that was I think in nineteen ninety nine.

446
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 8: And that was Steve Cohen's wife, Alix, who made the

447
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 8: bids for that charity dinner. So I cooked dinner twenty

448
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 8: something years ago for Steve and his father in law

449
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 8: and his wife and his friends, and it all went

450
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 8: off smoothly. So we've been friends for quite a while.

451
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 8: I like his style a lot.

452
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: What do you make of the moves they made here,

453
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: the one most recently three years A lot of money?

454
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: I think it was one hundred and forty million for

455
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: Max Schurzer. What do you make of the deals the

456
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 3: Mets are making here.

457
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 8: I think he went out there and said New York

458
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 8: needs to be New York, and he wasn't going to

459
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 8: take a back seat. He saw what was needed. He

460
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 8: you know, he made an outfield and it was an

461
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 8: outfield that was needed to be made. He got a

462
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 8: really good infielder, and he got the world class picture

463
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 8: to go with the world class picture that he already has.

464
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 8: And I think that's doing exactly what you have to do.

465
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 8: Make a big splash, get the big guys and don't

466
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 8: shy away. You know, it was Scott Borris that he

467
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 8: went head to heead with to get that Schurezer contract signed,

468
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 8: and that in itself is you know, a cool thing

469
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 8: that an owner would step right up and venture into

470
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 8: that world. I guess he's been at art art auctions

471
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 8: that went for more than that. But he he enjoys,

472
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 8: He enjoys the game of baseball, and he enjoyed he

473
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 8: enjoys the games that uh surround baseball.

474
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: What do you miss most about baseball, Bobby?

475
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 8: Oh? The game? Yeah? I I you know, I don't

476
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 8: dislike there or even miss a lot of the stuff,

477
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 8: even the agent stuff. I missed the game. I miss

478
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 8: the the guy who's over three and maybe something you

479
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 8: could say, something you could do, and he gets that

480
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 8: hit in the ninth inning. Or the kid who comes

481
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 8: up for his first game ever in the big leagues

482
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 8: and his parents in the stands, or or the veteran

483
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 8: who's hanging on and you do what it takes to

484
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 8: keep him going. You know, the game which is only

485
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 8: about people. Uh is is what I miss? That that

486
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 8: interaction with with guys that are, you know, great at

487
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 8: what they're what they do. They're all geniuses in their

488
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 8: own right, and yet they struggle on a daily basis,

489
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 8: and it's it's a it's a wonderful place to be around.

490
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: We want to run some or at least I want

491
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: to run an idea by you for baseball. And I

492
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: also want to talk about your disguise because I coached

493
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: as well, and I wore disguise to get myself back

494
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: into a lacrosse tournament. I did it in your honor,

495
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 3: and I will get to that in just a second.

496
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: But we have some ideas, Bobby, I'm interested in what

497
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: you think of this idea. I guess I'm trying to

498
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: fix baseball or make it more entertaining. I'm from Long Island.

499
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: I grew up a Mets fan. Baseball at one time

500
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: was my favorite sport, but as I've gotten older, football

501
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: has become my favorite sport. Basketball is a close second

502
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: and baseball is now third, which kind of makes me said,

503
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: but we had an idea. We actually ran it. Well

504
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: I didn't, but another host ran it by Dave Roberts,

505
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: the Dodgers manager. He loved the idea. The idea is

506
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: called the magic at bat, Bobby Okay, because here's the

507
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: here's the theory on it. When I go to a

508
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 3: basketball game, I am If I go to a Laker game,

509
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: I am guaranteed to see Lebron James play thirty six

510
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: to thirty eight minutes. He's going to take all the

511
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 3: big shots down the stretch. He's going to be involved

512
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: in all the big plays down the stretch. And we

513
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 3: don't see that in baseball because it's random and as

514
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: a batting order. So what I came up with was

515
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: a magic at bat. We're once per game a manager

516
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 3: can take a guy out of order. For instance, you

517
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 3: know Joe Madden with the Angels. Okay, if Mike Trout

518
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 3: comes up in the eighth inning, we're not going to

519
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: see him in the ninth and have been possibly a

520
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: big spot. So once again Madden would be able to say, hey,

521
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: eighth hitter, take a seat, I'm putting Trout up again,

522
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 3: even though he was up and inning a go does

523
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: Bobby Valentine? I think the magic at bat is a

524
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 3: good idea.

525
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 8: I like the idea. I think it should be limited though,

526
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 8: so it's not always the same guys, you know, because yeah, yeah,

527
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 8: you know. Then you know, the fans kind of say

528
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 8: it's always the same thing, and he didn't do it

529
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 8: last night. I think what you what you can do

530
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 8: is have the magic at that and then if if

531
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 8: he either succeeds a certain amount of times, he then

532
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 8: can't be the guy he fails a certain amount of times,

533
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 8: he can Yeah like that, he has to double down.

534
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: You know.

535
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 8: If he doesn't do it three times in a row

536
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 8: and he's given the fourth chance and he fails, he

537
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 8: can't come back for a month or something cool like that.

538
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 8: I don't mind it at all.

539
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: Look at that.

540
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: What about trampoline warning tracks?

541
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 8: We talked about that, Okay, So I also think that

542
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 8: you should have designated hot dogs where when the game begins,

543
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 8: the fans or the manager can designate some water or

544
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 8: people that if they do something cool during the game,

545
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 8: that they can do anything they want out on the

546
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 8: field when they're running around the bases or catching the

547
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 8: ball in the outfield and you know, do a cartwheel,

548
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 8: and and you know, some guys can get really creative

549
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 8: and probably would get really creative and maybe keep people around.

550
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 8: Oh wow, he's coming.

551
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 4: Up next to designated hot dog.

552
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 8: You know, he's the hot dog guy. We wouldn't call

553
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 8: it a hot dog, we'd call it.

554
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: I like it.

555
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 4: I like hot dog.

556
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: I like it. But Bobby, all these I mean, we

557
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: all have the same ideas. It's to keep the fans

558
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: around longer and keep them at the Yes, yeah.

559
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 4: Do the opposing team's fans get to vote on the

560
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 4: designated hot dog, because then what you can do is,

561
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: if one of the hot dogs comes up, you can

562
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 4: take that privilege away from them and you vote for,

563
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 4: like a boring player on that team to be the

564
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: designated hot dog. And then what happens is is if

565
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 4: someone that normally is someone that gets excited, they're not

566
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 4: allowed to celebrate or there's some sort of penalty of sorts,

567
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: and it all comes down to the fan voting, so

568
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 4: you can not only control who is the one celebrating,

569
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: you can also control who can't celebrate.

570
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 8: Wow them, Yeah, you could do a block.

571
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: Interesting.

572
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I really, I really think that stuff has to

573
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 8: get incorporated, you know, because, like you said, because you're

574
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 8: always waiting for it to come around.

575
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: How boring is that you should be the comsoner of baseball?

576
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: You really should, Bobby, You should forget about politics. You

577
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 3: should be the commisioner of baseball. But at least you're

578
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: open to these ideas. I mean, we had Manford on.

579
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: We pitched some of these ideas to them. We didn't

580
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: like any of them, none of them.

581
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: If you were in charge, there wouldn't be lockouts, there

582
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: wouldn't be any of this stuff. Everyone would be happy

583
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: and you can do whatever you want if the fans

584
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: vote for you to be able to do whatever you want.

585
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 8: You know, it's funny. I talked to uh, one of

586
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 8: the guys who's down in the Atlantic League. You know,

587
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 8: so that's the let's do everything league and you know,

588
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 8: starting up a new franchise and you know, what are

589
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 8: we going to do? And they said, so, you know,

590
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 8: what would you do? What would you do? What would

591
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 8: be cool. And you know, I didn't come up with

592
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 8: this stuff that you're coming up with the magic at back,

593
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 8: but I said, you know, I think it'd be cool

594
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 8: if you if you had a guy who is a

595
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 8: good enough communicator and understood what was going on to

596
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 8: manage your team or even be part of your team,

597
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 8: so that he sat in a certain section each inning

598
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 8: of the game, or maybe if as the manager, only

599
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 8: when your team was in the field and sat there

600
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 8: and talked with the fans in that section about what

601
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 8: was going on, you know, and sometimes be a long ending,

602
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 8: sometimes a short enning, sometimes be cool, sometimes to be boring,

603
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 8: but at least there would be access, you know. And

604
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 8: I think people, you know, especially at that level where

605
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 8: you don't have the star that you're coming to see,

606
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: that you have to create some special access in some

607
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 8: way for someone to buy a ticket and sit in

608
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 8: the stands to watch a baseball game.

609
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 3: I love it. Bobby's new book is out. Valentine's Way,

610
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: My Adventurous Life at Times is available now. Bobby, do

611
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: you still have the disguise? Do you have it?

612
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 8: I could recreated. I don't have it. No, I don't

613
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 8: even you know, I don't remember what sunglasses they were.

614
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 8: They were I think robins and tourist sunglasses. But you know,

615
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 8: if I ever had that, or if I even created

616
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 8: something and said, hey, this is it, it would be

617
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 8: a good charity function item. That's sure.

618
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: Were you sure it's not in Cooperstown?

619
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: It should be shit? What are you laughing at, Bobby?

620
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: It should be.

621
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: You inspired me by the way I got kicked out

622
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: of my daughter's lacrosse What you wear so well? I

623
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: got kicked out and uh, I coached on the cross

624
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 3: team because one of the referee was giving me the

625
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: business and I was given the referee the business back, okay,

626
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: and then like it's the only time they feel like

627
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: they have control over anything in their lives. So she's

628
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: taking it out of me, and so she threw me

629
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 3: out of the tournament. And so I came back into

630
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: disguise and I went I got a little fluffy mustache,

631
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: I got some glasses, a similar disguise to you to yours.

632
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: Although I didn't have ropping Venta sunglasses I wish I had.

633
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: And then I came back in. Now, Bobby, I took

634
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: it one step further, Okay, I didn't go back to

635
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: the sidelines. In that disguise, I was coaching my daughter's

636
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: team from the parents sideline. I just kind of blended in.

637
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: No one knew I was there. But you were my

638
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: inspiration for that, Bobby, So.

639
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 8: Thank you nice. So just so you know, I liked

640
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 8: being the inspiration, and just so you know that that

641
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 8: wasn't a one time off. You know, back in maybe

642
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 8: the late eighties, I had a restaurant in Stanford, connetic

643
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 8: and I had a few restaurants as a matter of fact,

644
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 8: around the country. And I had suspicions of a friend

645
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 8: of mine who was a bartender who I hired, who

646
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 8: I played ball with, that he was didn't want to

647
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 8: be the bartender. He wanted to be the partner, you know,

648
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 8: and was taking a little more than just what was

649
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 8: allotted to him.

650
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: And so.

651
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 8: I put a lot of white powder in my black

652
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 8: hair to make it look like this, huh. I put

653
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 8: a baseball cap, put it down with the glasses, and

654
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 8: put the mustache on, went in and sat at the

655
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 8: bar and ordered three drinks. And saw him put one

656
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 8: of the fairs into the register and to the fares

657
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 8: into his tip jar, and circled back, took off the

658
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 8: Bustache sat in the same seat and then said, Hey,

659
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 8: can I have another cors Light, And this time I

660
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 8: want you to put the entire amount in the drawer.

661
00:33:51,560 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: And he went, oh, actually from baseball, you're out.

662
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 8: I was chewing, you know, I put some tobacco wind,

663
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 8: so my voice sounded different. I like talking like this

664
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 8: as I was talking and sipping on the beer.

665
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah it's Bobby, Bobby. Are you seventy one? Was Billy

666
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: right when you said you were seventy one earlier?

667
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

668
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: How the hell do you look so good? Bobby Valentine?

669
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 3: What's the key?

670
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 8: Walk the dogs, Get up early, walk the dogs for

671
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 8: a mile and a half, get on the bike, make

672
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 8: sure the wind the sun really whack your face, and

673
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 8: you know, feel good when you wake up. You gotta

674
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 8: feel good. But I'm studying these gray eyebrows and this

675
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 8: white here. I mean, it wears me out when I

676
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 8: look at it. To tell you the truth, knocking. I

677
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 8: like the white bear like you. I like the two toe.

678
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 8: That's a good look.

679
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: You look fantastic. You mentioned walking the dog. You had

680
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: a bad moment on cameo walking the dog. Did you

681
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: not about that as well? But you had a bad moment, Bobby,

682
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 3: did you not bad? Eight minutes?

683
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 8: I should say, I thought it was a great moment

684
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 8: to tell you to too. Now think about that for

685
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 8: a second. Me talking to my god in a very

686
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 8: one on one way. It turned out to be a cameo.

687
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 8: I thought it was spectacular.

688
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: Can you explain it. I'll explain it for the audience.

689
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: Your dog pooped in someone else's lawn and you didn't

690
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: know the video was rolling, and you did not pick

691
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: up the poop on the lawn. That's that's the way

692
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 3: the story goes.

693
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 8: Well. Actually, I talked to him about how many times

694
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 8: do I have to tell him, you know, that's not

695
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 8: where you do that stuff? How many times now I

696
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 8: told you before, I'm gonna have to tell you again

697
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 8: the idea of not picking it up is not true

698
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 8: at all. I didn't have a bag. I had to

699
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 8: walk back to the back to the house to get

700
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 8: the bag to go back and pick it up because

701
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 8: I don't pick it up with my hands. But he

702
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 8: was the one who was in full and he knew it,

703
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 8: you know, because he never went back there again.

704
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: Was this pre or post election? Because I feel like

705
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 4: this is.

706
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 8: Like the it's like turn the election.

707
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: This is on it.

708
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 8: This is on a cameo, and my opponent and the

709
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 8: Democratic Party made it sound like I had just destroyed

710
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 8: a meteorite heading toward the Earth and all the fragments

711
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 8: went and destroyed six of our famous cities.

712
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

713
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 8: My don't ship on someone's lawn. I had to go

714
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 8: home to get the bag to pick it up, and

715
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 8: I had to tell him never to do it again.

716
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 8: What are you kidding me?

717
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 3: Bobby?

718
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 4: Would you go to space? You've done a lot of

719
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 4: different things, and now this is kind of like the

720
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 4: thing celebrities are doing, is going to space? Would you

721
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 4: do that?

722
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 3: Yes?

723
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 8: If I had the money, I would definitely do it.

724
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 8: And I actually talked to a guy who has the

725
00:36:53,960 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 8: money to do it, and he won't take me along him. Yeah. Yeah, Anyway,

726
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 8: I'm gonna hang out with him a little more. We

727
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 8: have to have a couple more bottles of wine. And

728
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 8: I get him at the right moment and he lives

729
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 8: down there near near Musk and he knows him, and

730
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 8: he said, you know, maybe we could do this together sometimes.

731
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 8: Is his name Steve Cohen? His name's not Steve Cohen.

732
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 8: He doesn't have that many bees. But he's got a

733
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 8: couple of those bees.

734
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean no, wait, Bobby, so when you go

735
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 3: to space, we have to have you all before and

736
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 3: after you go to space.

737
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: Do a cameo from space, Bobby.

738
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 8: That would be it. That's that's the only reason I'd

739
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 8: want to go up.

740
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 3: You wouldn't be afraid to go to space. I'd be terrified, Bobby.

741
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 8: I would be terrified. No. I know it's easy to

742
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 8: say because I'm never going to do it, Bobby.

743
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: Right, Maybe you never know, Bobby.

744
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 3: And listen, I got to new his for you. On

745
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: the dog front. Okay, you led the dog to the

746
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 3: ocean body. It's not the dog's fault. I mean you

747
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 3: led the dog to your neighbor's lawn. I mean yelled

748
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 3: at the dog. What are you doing?

749
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 8: I took full credit for not training him properly the

750
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 8: last time he went on that lawn, you know.

751
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, but not the second time. Wait. So you

752
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: marked exactly like the house the location of the poop,

753
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: because I've done this as well. And you went back

754
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 3: to your house and got a got a poopy bag,

755
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: and then went back to the house where the dog pooped,

756
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: and you picked up the poop. That's what you're claiming.

757
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: So the poop was picked up eventually, No.

758
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 8: Of course, Well, as I said sometime when being interrogated

759
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 8: about this, when you asked my neighbors, he has one

760
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 8: of those you know, those gates that when you enter

761
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 8: you go by the gate, it rings in his house.

762
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 8: So he was looked out the window to see who

763
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 8: was visiting. It happened to be my dog, and so

764
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 8: he knew that I was responsible for that, and Simon

765
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 8: gave me full credit for coming back and picking it up.

766
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 3: Of course, Amazing Valentine's way my adventurous life at times

767

Speaker 3: an effort to win that million dollars, is what about

773

00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 8: Oh wow, I'd have to get the million to do it,

775
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,640

Speaker 3: For you to tell the story.

779
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 8: Let me just tell you this, Tommy Lysart, it was

780
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 8: so incredible a person. Okay, that one time we went

781
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 8: to the White House when Reagan was president. Not only

782
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 8: did we go there to deliver a world series back

783
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 8: to the press and has a lot of times people do.

784
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 8: But I got invited to go with Tommy. But that

785
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 8: after being in the Oval Office for about forty five

786
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 8: minutes just making the president and his staff laugh, it

787
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 8: was time to open up the presidential press conference and

788
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 8: President Reagan asked Tommy.

789
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: To do it.

790
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 8: He goes out and opens up the Presidential press conference

791
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 8: and keeps people captivated for forty five minutes. On one

792
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 8: of those days where I guess Reagan didn't necessarily want

793
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 8: to address the press for the hour that he was

794
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 8: supposed to do it. You know, he would go backstage

795
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 8: without any escort to Frank Sinatra concerts, you know, and

796
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 8: bring people with him. He would go to restaurants unbenounced,

797
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 8: would walk in with twelve people, walk over to the

798
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 8: owner of the restaurant and said I need a table

799
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 8: for twelve and never paid the tab and never there

800
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 8: was the restaurant owner of set that he just bought

801
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 8: dinner for twelve people because he kept the entire restaurant

802
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 8: engaged for the two and a half hours that he

803
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 8: was stuffing his face with linguini and angel hair and

804
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 8: whatever else was brought to the table. He could eat

805
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 8: all day long, and he could talk all day long.

806
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 8: In most days, he did both all day long. He

807
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 8: was spectacular.

808
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 3: Bobby, I'll get you out of here in just a second. Here,

809
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 3: But you've lived such an amazing life and have met

810
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 3: so many amazing people, and I'm wondering, is there a

811
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 3: person you've met along the way Where Bobby Valentine was

812
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 3: in awe, like, oh my god, I can't believe I'm

813
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: meeting this person or I'm having this kind of experience

814
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 3: with this person, whether it's playing golf, being in a

815
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 3: concert like Tommy going backstage. Is there a person you

816
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 3: met that you've been in off?

817
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 8: Wow? When I was when I was younger, I guess

818
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 8: I was about twenty four. I was on a show

819
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 8: called Sports Challenge, and you know, celebrities against celebrities, teams

820
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 8: against teams. I represented the California Angels with Nolan Ryan

821
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 8: and Frank Robinson and we played a lot of different teams.

822
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 8: We won a lot of different games. One game we

823
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 8: played against was against professional boxers, and I got to

824
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 8: sit adjason to Muhammad Ali for the entire show, plus

825
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 8: the commercials, plus fifteen minutes afterwards, and I was in

826
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 8: awe of him. He was absolutely spectacular.

827
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: Was he talking to you or what?

828
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 8: Oh?

829
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: All day long?

830
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 8: Are you kidding me? Hey? Check it out so you

831
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 8: can see you see my face? Right?

832
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, So.

833
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 8: He put his fist up to my face. It covered

834
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 8: my entire your face, and then he put his hand

835
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 8: down on his side and he threw a punch that

836
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 8: landed right on the tip of my nose. The punch

837
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 8: came and left before I could see it, and I

838
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 8: immediately teared. My My face was full of tears going down.

839
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 8: I was so amazed that what had just happened.

840
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: You know.

841
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 8: I felt the pressure of the of the hand coming

842
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 8: right in and he stopped it right there and put

843
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 8: it down. I swear before I could blake, he was

844
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 8: He was cool.

845
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 3: You were punched by Mohammad Ali. Look at you. He

846
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,279

866
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,000

00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:51,600

871
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: All right, you want to make some news and just

872
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 3: guarantee the Mets are going to win the World Series

873
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 3: next year. What do you want to do here?

874
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 8: Well, I was having dinner with somebody who's already been

875
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 8: mentioned on this last night. Told me that the odds

876
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 8: went to eleven to one after they signed Sergers. So

877
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 8: you know, I think they're gonna win the whole thing.

878
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 8: They'll probably make two more good deals before it's all over.

879
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 8: I'm putting my money on the Mets. And you could

880
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 8: do that now in Connecticut legally.

881
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: Yes, yes you can. So you're putting your money on them.

882
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 3: I can't believe Steve Cohen said that to you. It's amazing.

883
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:24,600

00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 8: your heart dropped. I know.

894
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 4: I bet my tongue because when he said that he's

895
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 4: to someone yesterday that said that the met's chances increased

896
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 4: or whatever was that he just said, and he wouldn't

897
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 4: going to say.

898
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 3: Who it was.

899
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 4: I bit my tongue because I almost said, we know

900
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 4: it wasn't Mitch, and I was like, I can't do that.

901
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 4: I do that to poor Bobby.

902
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh my god. So your heart didn't

903
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 3: drop I misrode did at the time. No, no, no,

904
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: but it dropped so little that you wanted to double

905
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: down on the fucking mistake.

906
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 4: A joke light in the mood.

907
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: You know.

908
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: I didn't do it, though, and I wouldn't.

909
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't you want to get him back?

910
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you're a good person.

911
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 6: Thanks a good person.

912
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 3: How would you have delivered it? Let's just like, you know,

913
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: do you want me to reask? Do you want to

914
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 3: role play Mike? An't give me Bobby me.

915
00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 4: Mitch would have been on Dancing with the Stars. Bobby

916
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 4: would have killed it on Dancing with This. I'm just

917
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 4: imagining him now with like a sequince suit, like Dancing

918
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 4: with whatever the dance partner would be competing against, like

919
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 4: season two of Dancing with the Stars, what.

920
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 3: An accomplished guy.

921
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 4: Seriously, Yeah, what hasn't he done?

922
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: Just me? Or do you also feel like Bobby Valentine,

923
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, like you could just throw out a

924
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 3: word and Bobby would have a story.

925
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 4: He has a story for everything he's lived. He's definitely lived.

926
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 4: I mean, look, if you were to ask me before

927
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 4: asking the question, did I think Bobby had spoken to

928
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 4: someone about going into space recently? My answer would have

929
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 4: been absolutely not. But Bobby says that he did so.

930
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: But do you feel like you can just throw like

931
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 3: we threw the rap at him one time, right, and

932
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 3: he said he invented it?

933
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 4: Well, okay, so when we asked him the space question,

934
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 4: I was actually he mentioned like a meteorite coming towards Earth,

935
00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 4: and I wasn't asking about that. Asked where that you

936
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 4: keep talking about that's coming to Earth, that they're trying

937
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 4: to shoot out of the space or whatever it is

938
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 4: that they're going to do. And now I regret in

939
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 4: not asking because I feel like Bobby would have had

940
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 4: a plan to get rid of asteroids flying towards her.

941
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: Correct, yes, if not, he would have made one up, right,

942
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 3: Oh what happened?

943
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 4: Are you suggesting some of that stuff was made up.

944
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 3: No, I was not suggesting that at all. I'm just

945
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 3: you just you know. Bobby's that guy that I think

946
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 3: you're right. He's got a story for everything. I'm not

947
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: what am I suggesting that that not all the stories

948
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 3: are true. I liked Bobby. He looks great. I love Bobby.

949
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 8: I love him.

950
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 3: I love him by the book.

951
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, bye bye Bobby's book.

952
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like we should get Bobby back on

953
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 3: though I did, I don't. I feel like I failed

954
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: in asking him. I think he would have delivered some

955
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 3: better stories and I asked the right questions. It's on me.

956
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: I suck.

957
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 4: It's fine, don't. Don't beat yourself up.

958
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 2: Bobby's been in the Souper Falls.

959
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 4: Forgot to ask that.

960
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 3: Also, Yeah, Jesus, we're terrible at this stubodity
