Speaker 1: was the host, and I didn't know how to respond

Speaker 1: Father still trying to be relate. No, I can relate
Speaker 1: to the younger guys. Yeah, hello, George Brett will join us.
Speaker 1: Fritzie swears it was thirty seven years ago today that
Speaker 1: George hit the home run and he was called out
Speaker 1: after hitting the home run for the Pine Tar the
Speaker 1: excessive Pine Tar game. And George will join us coming up.
Speaker 1: I'm sure George just really, he knows that the phone
Speaker 1: call is coming. It's just a question of who is
Speaker 1: going to be calling to ask him about the Pine
Speaker 1: Tard game. And done. Robinson, the Miami Heat forward, he'll
Speaker 1: join us coming up as well from the bubble. It'd
Speaker 1: be good to revisit with him again. By the way,
Speaker 1: here's something for you, Ethan. Who is our stats guy,
Speaker 1: Harvard Brat and he is back with the vengeance. He
Speaker 1: took yesterday off after the game that George Brett hit
Speaker 1: the home run in and was ruled out. He went
Speaker 1: twenty four consecutive games without hitting a home run when
Speaker 1: that game ended. Brett's average for the nineteen eighty three
Speaker 1: season stood at three fifty seven. Over the rest of
Speaker 1: that season, he hit two fifty four, so something was
Speaker 1: taken out of him after that Pine Tar experience. So
Speaker 1: George will join us coming up here in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Rick and Washington joins us on the program. Good morning, Rick,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Good morning, six
Speaker 1: foot shrinking two hundred and twenty eight pounds. Okay, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to weigh in on the new Seattle cracking logo,
Speaker 1: and I was really surprised how many people really didn't
Speaker 1: know what a kracking was. And no, Polly, it's not
Speaker 1: a Godzilla like creature, which was badly portrayed in the
Speaker 1: Clash of the Titans. It's more of a monster, overly
Speaker 1: large octopus with very large teeth, a bad attitude. And
Speaker 1: are you good with that nickname? With that nickname? Yes?
Speaker 1: Are you good? You like the puns? Didn't. It didn't
Speaker 1: take an hour after the name was released that the
Speaker 1: puns started, and of course, to release the kracking. It's
Speaker 1: going to be a good one. But the one that
Speaker 1: seems to worry me the most is that when people
Speaker 1: start to say, welcome to the crack house, well, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get that, and you're gonna get crackheads as well. Rick,
Speaker 1: But you know you have to understand that's gonna go
Speaker 1: along with the name. People are gonna have fun with it,
Speaker 1: make fun of it. Yeah, mccleman, I sell on Twitter.
Speaker 1: They're one group that's offended a little bit. The Seattle Mariners,
Speaker 1: you know, Mariners seafaring, their ships were taken down by
Speaker 1: Kraken's over the years. Think people might be a shot
Speaker 1: franchises in between, like the Miami Hurricane. It's not exactly
Speaker 1: positive for the community. Yeah, the Mariners don't want cracking
Speaker 1: float around Seattle's harbor new by the way. But the
Speaker 1: guy corrected, Pauline's had the same thing. Paully did it.
Speaker 1: Pauli's like it's a monster like I tell about. He's like,
Speaker 1: it's a giant squid creature, octopus, not a squid. Sounds
Speaker 1: a lot like a guy whatever. Yeah, that's all just
Speaker 1: uh not real as they say, Yeah, fictitious sea creature. Yeah. Also,
Speaker 1: what's that word for it? Fake? Fake? Sounds like Jeff
Speaker 1: and Detroit. Hey Jeff, what do you have for me today? Hey?
Speaker 1: What I'm going? Dan? Just calling? So we're seating a
Speaker 1: happy birthday from everybody in chat Row out of all

Speaker 1: a little trouble there AJ with the phone connection. Uh
Speaker 1: we're dialing in with George Brett. I can see him now,
Speaker 1: he'll join us any minute. Uh, let's see. What's the
Speaker 1: full question? Mclall was the sixteen games we're done the
Speaker 1: MLB playoffs? Which the poll question? I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: the greatest third basement of all time? Schmidt, George Brett
Speaker 1: or Brooks Robinson or top three on most people's list
Speaker 1: with Chipper in the mix? Okay, I Philly guy obvious,
Speaker 1: ye I'd say Mike Schmidt. Okay, yeah, Chipper. Chipper has
Speaker 1: got a pretty good resume there. ESPN has an official
Speaker 1: list with Brett number two of all time and Shmidt one,
Speaker 1: So he's there the second best or first best third
Speaker 1: basement of all time. Okay, because SCHMIDI was a great
Speaker 1: fielder as well and hit a lot of home runs
Speaker 1: batting average wise, he wasn't the same as George M.
Speaker 1: George who shares the same birthday with me as well.
Speaker 1: May fifteen, and George is getting locked in here and
Speaker 1: I can see there's George. He's you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna show you some of my my, my guys. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so George Brett is joining us. Who's this guy? Who's
Speaker 1: this guy? Okay, wait, let me see. Can you see him? Um?
Speaker 1: George toomba groundskeeper? Okay, he's I didn't expect him to
Speaker 1: have a bobble head. Okay, yeah, okay, who's this guy?
Speaker 1: Who's this guy? Hold on, I gotta get him up
Speaker 1: on the screen. Yeah, your camera work is terrible, George. Okay,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, Okay, here we go. I'm walking back.
Speaker 1: I tried to get on my computer Dan, and of
Speaker 1: course it said you need to update, and I'm not
Speaker 1: good at that stuff. Okay, So who's this guy right here?
Speaker 1: Look at this guy? Um? Is that mister Kaufman. No,
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett, Okay, Warren Buffett, bubble head, I got some.
Speaker 1: I got some bubble heads for you. What else do
Speaker 1: you have in there? What's the coolest piece of memorabilia?
Speaker 1: You have the coolest piece of memorabilia? I would say
Speaker 1: would be these three guys, because I'm on my iPad. Okay,
Speaker 1: these three guys right here? Oh, three silver bats. I
Speaker 1: like that. It's impressive. And then one year, one year
Speaker 1: I went to Cooperstown. Yeah, you got inducted there too, George. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But then I got one day one year I went
Speaker 1: and I got everybody that was their baseball's signed. That
Speaker 1: is impressive. So that's pretty cool. Yeah. How many Hall
Speaker 1: of Famers? How many Hall of Famers do you have there? One? Two, three, four, eight,
Speaker 1: sixty four? Eight times eight sixty four, isn't it? That's
Speaker 1: pretty good? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, sixty four. Hey, rumor has
Speaker 1: it that it was thirty seven years ago today that
Speaker 1: you had the pine to our home run? Do you
Speaker 1: do you dread this day? No? I like it. So
Speaker 1: you're okay with Fritzie reaching out to you to say, hey,
Speaker 1: let's reminisce about the pinet our game when you went
Speaker 1: crazy after the home run was taken away from you. Sure,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't I? I mean I didn't strike out, what
Speaker 1: the bases loaded, I didn't have a ball to go
Speaker 1: between my legs. I didn't drop a pop up. If
Speaker 1: you're if you if you want to be known for
Speaker 1: something dan Um hitting a home run off a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame picture in a big good situation, top of
Speaker 1: the ninth inning, down one run or down two runs,
Speaker 1: and you hit a three run home run off of him,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty good, or a two run home run,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good thing to be remembered for. I
Speaker 1: have a bat that I got Okay, I love this
Speaker 1: show and tell here. Yeah, I got a bat that
Speaker 1: I gave Mike Bodocker, my last year former OO, and
Speaker 1: he called me up one day and he says, hey, George,
Speaker 1: i'd look for you to sign this. I have a
Speaker 1: bad collection. And so the next thing you know, we're
Speaker 1: talking and he brings it over and brings the sun
Speaker 1: Corey with him, and he shows me this bat. This
Speaker 1: bat right here is the it's the most pine tart
Speaker 1: bat I've ever used in my life. That's a real bat.
Speaker 1: And look at that Oh my god, George, I can
Speaker 1: barely is all the pine tart bat, the pine tart bat.
Speaker 1: The pine tart came right to hear, you know, it came,
Speaker 1: it came. It was two inches shorter, and they called
Speaker 1: me out on that. And then this is a bat
Speaker 1: I use in nineteen ninety three, my last year, and
Speaker 1: so Mike Bodocker brings it over to the house and
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there playing with it in my office, just
Speaker 1: playing with it, and I'm going, God, I don't have
Speaker 1: any used bats that I've ever used in a I
Speaker 1: don't have any you know, I broke hundreds of them,
Speaker 1: but you always gave them away because memorabilia back when
Speaker 1: I was playing wasn't that big a deal. And so
Speaker 1: and so he looked at it. He says, God, you
Speaker 1: loved I said, Mike, I'd love this bat. He said,
Speaker 1: keep it, keep it. So what I did what I did,
Speaker 1: Dan is I said, well, I got to give you
Speaker 1: something in return. And every year we go to Cooperstown,
Speaker 1: everybody signs a bat. Everybody that goes there signs a bat.
Speaker 1: So I had like fifty five Hall of Famers on
Speaker 1: this one bat, and I got them over here and
Speaker 1: a little thing and got about six of them, and
Speaker 1: I finally just said, pick one, it's yours. So he
Speaker 1: took a bat that had sixty Hall of Fame Baseball
Speaker 1: players on It's I ever made sixty of those guys
Speaker 1: for a real game. Used bat that I used in
Speaker 1: The pine tar bat is in Cooperstown. It's in Cooperstown.
Speaker 1: And the one thing I shouldn't have done is gay
Speaker 1: Lord Perry was on our team, and gay Lord was
Speaker 1: a collector. He was a collector before collecting was big
Speaker 1: and popular. And and I get the back back a
Speaker 1: week later, and they sent it to me in Detroit,
Speaker 1: and I go up and I use it. And so
Speaker 1: before I used it, I had to clean it up.
Speaker 1: I got some alcohol in a rag, and I cleaned
Speaker 1: all the pine tart off until eighteen inches. I drew
Speaker 1: a little red line where eighteen inches was because I
Speaker 1: didn't want to break the rules. And Gaylord comes up
Speaker 1: to me and he says, what bat are you using?
Speaker 1: And I said the pine tart bat. He said, you
Speaker 1: know that's worth a lot of money. If you break it,
Speaker 1: it's worth nothing. So I said, okay, And then I
Speaker 1: ended up giving it to the Hall of Fame you
Speaker 1: know your reaction. Are you surprised when you see your
Speaker 1: reaction when you come out of the dug out? Like like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're a pretty you're a competitive guy. You
Speaker 1: weren't afraid to compete. You weren't afraid to, you know,
Speaker 1: throw a punch at Greg Nettles. But you're coming out
Speaker 1: of that dugout. Have you ever been had you ever
Speaker 1: been that mad in a baseball game before? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. No, that when I saw my reaction, you
Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. I mean, what's what the
Speaker 1: flailing arm? That stuff? I mean, that's the craziest thing
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. In fact, they did a babble ahead
Speaker 1: of that of the flailing arms, you know, instead of
Speaker 1: a bubblehead moving my arms go up and down. But no,
Speaker 1: I had never seen anything like that. And then and
Speaker 1: then when you see the full video of Joe Brinkman
Speaker 1: coming behind me and grabbing me, and I don't know
Speaker 1: who it is. I didn't realize it was an umpire
Speaker 1: because he's behind me and so I'm trying to get away.
Speaker 1: As much as I knew it could have been Billy
Speaker 1: Martin or Great Nudds or whose gossips who knows, And
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to get away, and that really makes
Speaker 1: it look a lot worse than it was. And then
Speaker 1: when it was all said and done, then I realized
Speaker 1: that Gaylord Perry stole the bat from the umpire? Are
Speaker 1: you aware of that? But that he wanted to collect?
Speaker 1: Did he want? He wanted? He like, he didn't think
Speaker 1: anybody was going to chase that. So he takes the
Speaker 1: bat out of Tim McClelland's hand, and that rumor has
Speaker 1: it he threw it to Steve Renko because you know,
Speaker 1: the police started gathering around him, and now Steve Renko
Speaker 1: has it, he just takes off run into the locker
Speaker 1: room and now all the police are following him up
Speaker 1: to the locker room to get the bat. So it
Speaker 1: makes me look like, you know, I was using a
Speaker 1: concealed weapon. You know, they're trying to hide the evidence. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was in a cork bat, like Albert Bell. It
Speaker 1: was just, yeah, excess for a lot of guys. How
Speaker 1: prevalent do you think we're cork bats back when you play?
Speaker 1: I don't think they are now. They were pretty prevalent
Speaker 1: when I was playing. Did you ever try one? No?
Speaker 1: I never did. Did you ever know of somebody that
Speaker 1: was using him? Yes, some of my teammates used him.
Speaker 1: But so you put the Super Bowls in there, so
Speaker 1: you drill out the center or the top of the
Speaker 1: girl out the center of the bat down to about
Speaker 1: down about five inches from what I'm told, and then
Speaker 1: they get cork and they stick cork in there and
Speaker 1: just cram that cork in there as tight as can
Speaker 1: or Super Bowls or whatever, and then they put some
Speaker 1: putty over the end of it so you can't really tell.
Speaker 1: And then I got I think it was Greg Nettles
Speaker 1: one time swung and the top came off in Super
Speaker 1: Bowls when flying all over the field, you know. And
Speaker 1: then you remember Chris Sabo Sabo when he broke up
Speaker 1: bat in two, how the whole inside of the bat
Speaker 1: was hollowed out and there was cork inside. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know if they use a cabern a, you know,
Speaker 1: a good chardon a cork or what. I don't know
Speaker 1: what wine goes best with that, but yeah, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of that cheating going on. He's George Brett.
Speaker 1: He uh is the Royals vice president baseball Operations, former
Speaker 1: Royals third baseman you hit what three hundred and seventeen
Speaker 1: home runs something like that in your career. If you
Speaker 1: if you played now launch angle the whole thing, would
Speaker 1: you have three thousand hits or would you have a
Speaker 1: fifty home runs? I would have three thousand hits. I
Speaker 1: think my deal is, And to be honest with you, Dan,
Speaker 1: I don't think you create launch angle if you're bat.
Speaker 1: My bat stayed through the zone in a long time,
Speaker 1: the same plane as the ball game. My bat stayed
Speaker 1: on that plane a real long time. So that's one
Speaker 1: reason I didn't strike out much. If I hit the
Speaker 1: ball on the dead round part of the bat right square,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a line drive. If I hit
Speaker 1: a little below that, it's going to be a ground ball.
Speaker 1: If I hit it a little above that, it's going
Speaker 1: to create the launch angle. But I think now people
Speaker 1: are trying to create launch angle. That's why you have
Speaker 1: so many strikeouts in the game. And I think that's
Speaker 1: why the game's getting a little more boring to watch
Speaker 1: because there's too many strikeouts and the ball's not put
Speaker 1: in play as much to me. To me, launch angle
Speaker 1: is the angle of the ball comes off the bat.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can create it. But I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people are teaching that now and as
Speaker 1: a result, I mean, I wouldn't have changed. Never tried, well,
Speaker 1: I tried to hit a home run, I never I
Speaker 1: never hit one trying. So I learned really early in
Speaker 1: my career, don't try to hit home runs. Home runs
Speaker 1: come as a result of a good swing. And I
Speaker 1: just tried to take a good swing and everything and
Speaker 1: tried to hit a hardline drive up the middle or
Speaker 1: right center or left center. And if I got it
Speaker 1: pretty good, it would it would If I got a
Speaker 1: little higher on the bat, it would be a flyball,
Speaker 1: and if I hit a good enough it would be
Speaker 1: a home run. And playing in the biggest ballpark in
Speaker 1: the American League in Kansas City eighty one home games
Speaker 1: and Astor turf field, I mean it was a very
Speaker 1: fast field. Our teams never really did hit a lot
Speaker 1: of home runs. We were singles, doubles, triples teams and
Speaker 1: stole a lot of basses. And that's what our recipe
Speaker 1: for success was. And we were a really successful franchise.
Speaker 1: Why when we did that. It's great to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I hope you're well, Yeah, I'm doing good. How you
Speaker 1: holding up. Everything's good, h no complaint. Yeah, we we'd
Speaker 1: just been kind of quiet here, trying to be smart
Speaker 1: and just trying to be a five tool broadcaster here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you've always been mad. Thank you, George, Thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. It's als And sorry I didn't call
Speaker 1: you on our birthday. Yeah, well you kind of missed
Speaker 1: that the last few years. Yeah, I know, I was
Speaker 1: hoping you'd call me. I don't know how to get
Speaker 1: a hold of you. You know how to get a
Speaker 1: hold of me, Fritzie, you can give George my number finally. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I know chad Ward has it. Oh, chad Ward,
Speaker 1: our trigger barbecue guy, Yes he does. George isn't the best.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I love that guy. I text him last
Speaker 1: night because I'm making something for the family today, and
Speaker 1: he got back to me, you know, in this span
Speaker 1: of like fifteen minutes, with the recipe of what I
Speaker 1: need to do on the trigger girl today. He always
Speaker 1: does that to me if I ever have a question,
Speaker 1: if I'm going to try something new, I texted him,
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, how do I do this? And within
Speaker 1: ten minutes he usually responds. He called me the other
Speaker 1: day he what do they call that? Not a zoom call? FaceTime?
Speaker 1: FaceTime me from Ken Griffy's office. So I thought your
Speaker 1: office was pretty cool. Look at this. And so then
Speaker 1: I had to show my World Series trophy and some
Speaker 1: silver sluggers. And I showed him my Mission Hills Country
Speaker 1: Club trophy for being the club champion two years ago,
Speaker 1: which is the biggest upset and the biggest forest in
Speaker 1: the history of anything. But I showed him that nice
Speaker 1: as Yeah, but does Ken Griffy have any of these?
Speaker 1: He had all his silver sluggers. He had twenty gold
Speaker 1: gloves lined up. I got one, I got three silver bats.
Speaker 1: I don't think Ken Griffey ever won a batting championship though,
Speaker 1: But it was kind of cool comparing offices with him
Speaker 1: in Florida. But now, dan Is or Chad is one
Speaker 1: of the greatest guys I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 1: And he cooks for you a lot, doesn't he. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he shows up at the super Bowl. Anytime we need him,
Speaker 1: Chad shows up. He's really a generous soul. Well, you
Speaker 1: know that you should think about doing is going to
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City, the headquarters for Tragger. Yeah, and they
Speaker 1: have and he does cooking classes and me and my
Speaker 1: son Jackson, who's a big tailgator. For all the Chiefs games,
Speaker 1: he'll have fifty people at his tailgates, charges everybody twenty bucks,
Speaker 1: and he'll be doing brisk at the day before he'll
Speaker 1: be doing ribs. And if it's a noon game, they
Speaker 1: leave at six thirty in the morning to go set
Speaker 1: up their thing. They even have a urinal there in
Speaker 1: a tent with kitty litter in there. And but it's

Speaker 1: got plenty. I got plenty, and they do a good job.
Speaker 1: We get a laundry done twice a week, so the
Speaker 1: rotation is it's all good. Okay, that was all I
Speaker 1: wanted to know. Duncan have a good week there. So
Speaker 1: what was it like playing a game in the Bubble
Speaker 1: after all of this time? There's definitely a little different,
Speaker 1: you know, the atmosphere just being so quiet. Really, some
Speaker 1: of the conversations that you can hear throughout a game
Speaker 1: that you normally wouldn't be able to hear, whether it
Speaker 1: be on the bench or amongst players. But it's it's honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty used to it, just because you know, as
Speaker 1: recent as last year I was playing in the G
Speaker 1: League game. Those are some pretty quiet jims as well,
Speaker 1: So it's it's nothing new for me. But are you
Speaker 1: going to have to modify what you say? Do you
Speaker 1: think the guys are going to be aware of the
Speaker 1: language out there? Yeah, we quickly learned, you know, We've
Speaker 1: we've played one game, but we quickly quickly learned that
Speaker 1: the conversations and miss players gets picked up very easily
Speaker 1: on Mike's, one of our video guys who spends the
Speaker 1: entire game in the locker room basically cutting up film,
Speaker 1: was saying that he was picking up conversation on the
Speaker 1: court and just told all of us to be weary
Speaker 1: of what we were saying. So definitely kind of ads
Speaker 1: a new dynamic for sure. Okay, but who would you
Speaker 1: worry about the most on your team saying something inappropriate?
Speaker 1: I probably jumped to Jimmy. Jimmy, Yeah, Jimmy Butler. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a very open personality and just kind of says
Speaker 1: it was on his mind. So I would maybe worry
Speaker 1: about something being picked up that maybe maybe the public
Speaker 1: shouldn't be hearing. Yeah, but what about this story where
Speaker 1: he got somebody yelled at him for dribbling the basketball
Speaker 1: early in the morning. Yeah, yeah, I had heard about that.
Speaker 1: I'm only a couple of doors down from him, so
Speaker 1: I certainly wasn't the one complaining. I guess the was
Speaker 1: the floor belowing. But you know, we first got here,
Speaker 1: we had an initial quarantine a forty eight hours, so
Speaker 1: I guess he got a little restless in his room. Okay,
Speaker 1: but do you know who's underneath you? Is there another
Speaker 1: team underneath you? Honestly, I don't. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: mostly spread up where you know, each team has a floor,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure who's on the floor below us.
Speaker 1: Now a site from basketball, what do you do in
Speaker 1: the bubble? Yes, there's a lot of downtime. It's been
Speaker 1: great to just be able to catch up with my teammates.
Speaker 1: We've had a great opportunity to just sit down a restaurant,
Speaker 1: scaped meals, that sort of thing. I brought my golf cups,
Speaker 1: so I've been playing golf a little bit here and there.
Speaker 1: And then a couple of guys on our staff are
Speaker 1: really good fisherman, so I'm not much for a fisherman myself,
Speaker 1: but I've been able to link on with them and
Speaker 1: catch a few food situation worth complaining about. No, I
Speaker 1: think it's pretty good. It's it's definitely a little unconventional
Speaker 1: just in how they have to serve everything just because
Speaker 1: they want to make sure it's all sanitary and everything's compartmentalized.
Speaker 1: But it's nothing to complain about. There's lots of options.
Speaker 1: You know, the meals that they give us are solid,
Speaker 1: but there's also restaurant options as well if if you
Speaker 1: don't like what you're being served. But are you are
Speaker 1: you confident that the seasons starting on ton I am, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it certainly seems that way. One thing that really jumps
Speaker 1: out of you is just the emphasis on the safety protocol,
Speaker 1: and they've done a great job of enforcing it. You know,
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be perfect, but they've certainly made it
Speaker 1: so we all feel safe here, that's for sure. And
Speaker 1: what about social distancing on the bench, Yeah, that's definitely unique.
Speaker 1: We're all spread out, there's like different roads of the bench,
Speaker 1: and we're all supposed to be six feet apart, which
Speaker 1: is a little fucking in theory, just because you know,
Speaker 1: we practice against each other every day and then we're
Speaker 1: out there on the floor and then for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: as soon as we step outside the lines and then
Speaker 1: we got to be six feet apart. But I understand it.
Speaker 1: You know, they're just trying to emphasize being apart from
Speaker 1: each other and social distancing in general. If I gave
Speaker 1: you one hundred threes to shoot just by yourself, yeah,
Speaker 1: how many you're making. Uh, So we have like a
Speaker 1: an assessment that we do here. I'm usually somewhere around
Speaker 1: like high eighties. Um, the best I've ever had. I
Speaker 1: got ninety three a little while back, so that's that's
Speaker 1: my best. But I mean that's just stationary catch and shoot,
Speaker 1: that's still that's still pretty good. That's yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 1: You know, if you can catch a rhythm and kind
Speaker 1: of get going. Um, yeah, you can just kind of
Speaker 1: get in that that little bit of his own. But
Speaker 1: obviously it's a lot. It's a lot different in the game.
Speaker 1: You know, you've got people garden you're trying to trying
Speaker 1: to stop you from shooting open one, so it's different.
Speaker 1: But if you ever just let it fly and then
Speaker 1: you say to the defender, take that, or that's in
Speaker 1: or face or you know, I actually talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more than people would would maybe expect um, And
Speaker 1: it's not so much like trash talk as much as
Speaker 1: it is just like me kind of hyping myself up. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: give me give me a fur instant, because given your
Speaker 1: a there's no way I would be intimidated if you're
Speaker 1: talking trash to me. I don't know how much to
Speaker 1: take that personally or what. But like I'm nervous about
Speaker 1: you shooting, I'm just not worried about you like you know,
Speaker 1: saying like take the punk or yeah, there's more where
Speaker 1: that came from. Yeah, I'll give you an example when
Speaker 1: when Jimmy first got to Miami his first day there,
Speaker 1: we were playing pick up and UM, him and I
Speaker 1: kind of got into it, going back and forth. We
Speaker 1: were guarding each other and at this point I was
Speaker 1: I was just basically trying to make the team. UM.
Speaker 1: But it's it's kind of how I play. I have
Speaker 1: a little bit of a chip on my shoulder. And
Speaker 1: he went under on a screen and as soon as
Speaker 1: I like let go of the ball, basically don't ever
Speaker 1: go under a sum and let him know that he
Speaker 1: should have been there. So that's that's kind of what
Speaker 1: I what I kind of do. UM. It's more like
Speaker 1: ingest than anything. It's not really like a personal attack
Speaker 1: on anybody. It's more kind of the psychological warfare. Guess.
Speaker 1: But you wouldn't do that to Lebron, would you? If
Speaker 1: Lebron went under on a screen and you let one
Speaker 1: fly and you knew what was going in. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, once you get between the lines, anything's possible.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that I would never, um,
Speaker 1: but it maybe wouldn't be my best judgment to do
Speaker 1: so I kind of like the fire within him. Well,
Speaker 1: go back to the story you told us that when
Speaker 1: you played the first time you played against him, he
Speaker 1: was not even guarding you. He basically was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let that guy stand out there. He didn't
Speaker 1: even know how great a shooter you were. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: hopefully by now I've garnered somewhat of a level of
Speaker 1: respector actually, honestly, hopefully I haven't and I continue to
Speaker 1: be open. But um, well we'll see if if we
Speaker 1: run into them and the playoffs here, that'd be a
Speaker 1: good thing. Uh, you're you're running your sweep stakes, you're
Speaker 1: raising funds for the United Way, and we want to
Speaker 1: make sure you get a mention of that as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's almost a little a little bit less than a
Speaker 1: week left, um in the sweep stakes and space just
Speaker 1: an opportunity for me to try to give back to
Speaker 1: a community in Miami that's done so much for me.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a it's a raffle based thing, so
Speaker 1: you just buy tickets and there's all sorts of different prizes,
Speaker 1: of grand prizes basically like a VIP game night. Um.
Speaker 1: Obviously this is all assuming that the things get back
Speaker 1: to normal here hopefully soon. But there's other ones. There's
Speaker 1: there's zoom sessions and shooting lessons and even around the golf.
Speaker 1: So that's to go. Let's engage platform. Um. It can
Speaker 1: be found on my social media as well. The links
Speaker 1: to it all. But yeah, I just thought it would
Speaker 1: be a great way to give back to a community,
Speaker 1: and especially in these these uncertain times. I just want
Speaker 1: to try to use my platform to create some positive change. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's let's engage dot com slash pop ups to support
Speaker 1: the cause. There with Duncan Robinson. Hey, good luck and
Speaker 1: thanks again for making some time and hopefully we'll get
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to you again. All right, thank
Speaker 1: you very much for having me, Duncan Robinson. He can
Speaker 1: sorted talk trash. Hey, don't go under on that screen.
Speaker 1: See I'm being mean spirited here. I gotta wait till
Speaker 1: he turns off his zoom and then I can have
Speaker 1: a little bit more fun. See you, Duncan. He was there,
Speaker 1: he was getting ready to turn it off. He goes
Speaker 1: we I mean, wait list say he's gonna say. I
Speaker 1: just can't imagine. You know, he is a baby faced assassin. Now, hey,
Speaker 1: don't go under that screen or you're going to get
Speaker 1: more of this. I mean, that's what makes the trash
Speaker 1: tuck so much more brutal, is that it's just coming
Speaker 1: from a baby faced assassin. Hey take that, Yeah, yeah pull.
Speaker 1: I wonder if guys like that, they'll have to have
Speaker 1: that level of cockiness confidence to go from the G
Speaker 1: League to playing thirty minutes a game in the NBA
Speaker 1: in less than a year. That's nuts. I mean, I know,
Speaker 1: but you're if you're gonna say something. He's trying to
Speaker 1: make the team, But it's almost for you, not for them.
Speaker 1: Where I believe in myself so much that I'm talking
Speaker 1: this smack it like he said, it pumps him up
Speaker 1: not to jab people. Now, if I'm Jimmy Butler and
Speaker 1: he's my teammate or trying to make the team and
Speaker 1: he's that confident, then I like that. But if I'm
Speaker 1: facing that and all of a sudden he says, don't
Speaker 1: go under that screen, I'll make you pay. I just
Speaker 1: can't imagine him having any you know, like street conversation
Speaker 1: with you like saying, hey, punk, take that, but man,
Speaker 1: can he shoot? He obviously great shooter, but you know,
Speaker 1: people are starting to realize just how great a shooter
Speaker 1: he is. Who that's you know, I appreciate that because
Speaker 1: he came out of nowhere to make the team and
Speaker 1: then he is a legitimate, great knockdown three point shooter
Speaker 1: and that's all he does. He just takes threes. Can
Speaker 1: you just the amount of effort it takes. If you
Speaker 1: stand at the three point line, If you're twenty five
Speaker 1: years of age, which I think he is, and you
Speaker 1: just put up one hundred threes in a row, you're
Speaker 1: you're tired. I mean, it's that distance. But to do
Speaker 1: one hundred ninety three ninety three out of one hundred crazy.
Speaker 1: All right, last call for phone calls. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: check on the trigger. If you're watching on YouTube dot

Speaker 1: Last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
Speaker 1: store tomorrow. Goren Dragitch, who was a teammate of Duncan
Speaker 1: Robinson who we just had on, says, Steph Curry's not
Speaker 1: the best shooter in the game. The best shooter is
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson. Now that's what Duncan does. He shoots threes
Speaker 1: and he makes almost forty five percent of his three pointers,
Speaker 1: which puts him in that Klay Thompson Steph Curry category.
Speaker 1: Obviously you get a more well rounded game from Steph
Speaker 1: Curry and Klay Thompson. But Robinson is fourth in the
Speaker 1: NBA and three point percentage behind JJ Reddick, Seth Curry
Speaker 1: and George Hill. Wow, that's fun. Fun to have somebody
Speaker 1: on from inside the bubble and you know that age
Speaker 1: and you know this whole new experience of making a
Speaker 1: team and then being part of something here and then
Speaker 1: you go into the bubble the Tragger Meet Friday. Tragger

Speaker 1: your mind today? Hey, good morning, Good morning George. Happy
Speaker 1: birthday to Seaton. All Right, ribs look good? Thank you. Hey,
Speaker 1: a quick over under on the baseball season. You know,
Speaker 1: hoping nothing happens between now and then, but I think,
Speaker 1: for the first time in eighty years, I think we're
Speaker 1: going to have a four hundred hitter. I'm over on
Speaker 1: that one. It'd be a huge askers would think, but
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? And we'll catch you
Speaker 1: guys later. I'm gonna go under on that, Thank you, George.
Speaker 1: We won't have a four hundred batting average with these
Speaker 1: sixty games. We've had it over a sixty game span.
Speaker 1: We haven't had somebody start the season and go the
Speaker 1: first sixty games batting over four hundred. I don't believe. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: how do you think baseball purists and the media would
Speaker 1: treat someone who hit four hundred this season? They'll have
Speaker 1: an asterisk attached to it that they'll say, oh, such
Speaker 1: and such batted four hundred. But that was in the
Speaker 1: sixty game season. It feels like you're going to have
Speaker 1: I would have to have half a season before I
Speaker 1: think the baseball purists would acknowledge that somebody's gonna win
Speaker 1: the Cy Young and they could go six and two,
Speaker 1: because if you're getting eleven starts, maybe Yeah, if somebody
Speaker 1: goes ten and oh, then they're going to probably win
Speaker 1: the Cy Young. Or, as Tom Berducci said, somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: have an ERA of under one point one two, which
Speaker 1: is the old time record by Bob Gibson in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty eight. Yeah. Point the high batting average is not
Speaker 1: the thing anymore. Last year, three thirty five led the majors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a long way from four hundred. Yeah. As mclevand
Speaker 1: has been saying for a few years now, nobody cares
Speaker 1: about batting average on base percentage percentage. Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to play this for you. The Washington head coach Ron
Speaker 1: Rivero was on the program first hour, and I appreciate
Speaker 1: him coming on, and I asked him, at what point
Speaker 1: did you see enough where you said Dwayne Haskins is
Speaker 1: going to be my quarterback? Well, I've seen enough to
Speaker 1: say that he's going to compete to be our quarterback.
Speaker 1: If you really go down and you watch those last
Speaker 1: four games and I started and played, you feel pretty
Speaker 1: good about him. You really did. I did, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: But as I said, though, I'm not saying he's our
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. What I am saying is he's in position
Speaker 1: to be our starting quarterback. He showed enough that I
Speaker 1: believe that we have to give him a look and
Speaker 1: and and be I'm gonna be very honest. That's why
Speaker 1: I didn't jump out and try to get Cam signed
Speaker 1: right away, because I have to watch Dwayne and see
Speaker 1: where he is. I can't stunt his growth. We've got
Speaker 1: to give him the opportunity to show us what he
Speaker 1: can or can't do as honest as forthcoming. Because I
Speaker 1: think if he had been there and already saw Dwayne
Speaker 1: Haskins and had the opportunity to get Cam Newton. He
Speaker 1: probably would have gone brought in Cam Newton, Jesse and
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Hey, Jess, what do you have for me today?
Speaker 1: And dan X it's a positively Friday. I'm going to
Speaker 1: start a bit negative, but I promise I'll finish positive. Okay.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say thank you for offering up the
Speaker 1: most welcome and distraction for me this week. My brothers
Speaker 1: and I we lost our mom this past weekend and
Speaker 1: you guys great shows to help me get through and
Speaker 1: what you guys do for the listeners that can't be
Speaker 1: measured to thank you all, and thank that brings me
Speaker 1: to my positive not firing shots. I promise there were
Speaker 1: some gloves in a bowl there and I was able
Speaker 1: to play catch with my dad and brothers during the
Speaker 1: time we'll being back home, and I hadn't done that
Speaker 1: like twenty years. So thanks a lot for everything. Guys,
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Thank you Jesse. Glad we could
Speaker 1: play a small part in your life, but to be
Speaker 1: able to get out there and lost the baseball Yeah see,
Speaker 1: I love it. He's up on the show if he's
Speaker 1: throwing out dad and jokes oh yeah, yeah, oh I know,
Speaker 1: is no no, not a shot, and I'm just saying that.
Speaker 1: I you know, I got to play catch with my
Speaker 1: dad and it's not a shot. It's just a nice
Speaker 1: thing I was able to do. Hey, we take shots, well,
Speaker 1: Paulie and I do. I don't know if Fritzie take shots.
Speaker 1: You know, his dad's dad. You're not big on death,
Speaker 1: but you know, Paul and I we have fun with
Speaker 1: our dad dying. Do you have to embrace these things? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we do better that we do it before you do it.
Speaker 1: That's that's always been my model, certainly with my brothers.
Speaker 1: Like I'd rather make fun of myself before they make
Speaker 1: fun of me. Yeah, it's funny because that, like Gallows humor,
Speaker 1: is very unique to people with it. Like this morning,
Speaker 1: Paul said, oh, hey, happy birthday. I made it to
Speaker 1: another one and I said, yeah, thanks, I had the
Speaker 1: under And Marvin in the back was like, geez, did
Speaker 1: you say you had the under on your birthdays? Well,
Speaker 1: Marvin is relatively new around here. When people hear us
Speaker 1: talk about our dad's dying and then they don't know
Speaker 1: how to react. But usually if we're to dinner and
Speaker 1: then you know, be like Paul, you'll say, oh man,
Speaker 1: my dad he used to love this kind of meal
Speaker 1: or whatever. But he's dead. And then you'll just see
Speaker 1: somebody go did he what did he just say? His
Speaker 1: dad's my dad's dead. Yeah, my dad's dead. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: dad's dead too, Yeah, Paul. But I was dark early,
Speaker 1: like a year after my dad died. Like a salesman
Speaker 1: called the house. Excuse me? Can I speak to your father?
Speaker 1: The man of the house, like you're gonna at the
Speaker 1: hold a while? And my mom like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I thought it was funny at twelve?

Speaker 1: twelve years of age's going Florida. We're there yet. We're

Speaker 1: hit four hundred in his team's first sixty games of
Speaker 1: the season, According to Ethan, the last to do it,
Speaker 1: Chipper Jones, hit four h nine in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: Thank you Ethan for setting me straight. There. See, I
