<v Speaker 1>to the younger guys. Yeah, hello, George Brett will join us.

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Fritzie swears it was thirty seven years ago today that

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>George hit the home run and he was called out

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>after hitting the home run for the Pine Tar the

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>excessive Pine Tar game. And George will join us coming up.

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure George just really, he knows that the phone

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>call is coming. It's just a question of who is

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be calling to ask him about the Pine

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Tard game. And done. Robinson, the Miami Heat forward, he'll

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>join us coming up as well from the bubble. It'd

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>be good to revisit with him again. By the way,

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>here's something for you, Ethan. Who is our stats guy,

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Harvard Brat and he is back with the vengeance. He

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>took yesterday off after the game that George Brett hit

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.119
<v Speaker 1>the home run in and was ruled out. He went

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty four consecutive games without hitting a home run when

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>that game ended. Brett's average for the nineteen eighty three

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>season stood at three fifty seven. Over the rest of

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that season, he hit two fifty four, so something was

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>taken out of him after that Pine Tar experience. So

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>George will join us coming up here in a little bit.

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Rick and Washington joins us on the program. Good morning, Rick,

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>what do you have for me today? Good morning, six

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>foot shrinking two hundred and twenty eight pounds. Okay, I

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to weigh in on the new Seattle cracking logo,

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and I was really surprised how many people really didn't

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>know what a kracking was. And no, Polly, it's not

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a Godzilla like creature, which was badly portrayed in the

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Clash of the Titans. It's more of a monster, overly

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>large octopus with very large teeth, a bad attitude. And

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>are you good with that nickname? With that nickname? Yes?

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Are you good? You like the puns? Didn't. It didn't

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>take an hour after the name was released that the

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>puns started, and of course, to release the kracking. It's

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be a good one. But the one that

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>seems to worry me the most is that when people

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>start to say, welcome to the crack house, well, you're

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna get that, and you're gonna get crackheads as well. Rick,

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know you have to understand that's gonna go

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>along with the name. People are gonna have fun with it,

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>make fun of it. Yeah, mccleman, I sell on Twitter.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>They're one group that's offended a little bit. The Seattle Mariners,

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, Mariners seafaring, their ships were taken down by

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 1>Kraken's over the years. Think people might be a shot

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>franchises in between, like the Miami Hurricane. It's not exactly

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>positive for the community. Yeah, the Mariners don't want cracking

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 1>float around Seattle's harbor new by the way. But the

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>guy corrected, Pauline's had the same thing. Paully did it.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Pauli's like it's a monster like I tell about. He's like,

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a giant squid creature, octopus, not a squid. Sounds

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot like a guy whatever. Yeah, that's all just

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>uh not real as they say, Yeah, fictitious sea creature. Yeah. Also,

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>what's that word for it? Fake? Fake? Sounds like Jeff

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and Detroit. Hey Jeff, what do you have for me today? Hey?

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.680

<v Speaker 1>playoffs now puts a little bit more urgency. Hey get

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the best. When your division get top two records, you

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>get the face, you know, the wilder. I like the

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>fact that all three games are you know, being at

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>home in the first run. I think that I'm gonna

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>put this to whoever within it. To me, it's not

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.760

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a little trouble there AJ with the phone connection. Uh

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>we're dialing in with George Brett. I can see him now,

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>he'll join us any minute. Uh, let's see. What's the

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>full question? Mclall was the sixteen games we're done the

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>MLB playoffs? Which the poll question? I wanted to ask

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the greatest third basement of all time? Schmidt, George Brett

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>or Brooks Robinson or top three on most people's list

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>with Chipper in the mix? Okay, I Philly guy obvious,

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>ye I'd say Mike Schmidt. Okay, yeah, Chipper. Chipper has

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>got a pretty good resume there. ESPN has an official

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>list with Brett number two of all time and Shmidt one,

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>So he's there the second best or first best third

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>basement of all time. Okay, because SCHMIDI was a great

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>fielder as well and hit a lot of home runs

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>batting average wise, he wasn't the same as George M.

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>George who shares the same birthday with me as well.

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>May fifteen, and George is getting locked in here and

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I can see there's George. He's you know what, I'm

<v Speaker 1>and I got everybody that was their baseball's signed. That

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>is impressive. So that's pretty cool. Yeah. How many Hall

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>of Famers? How many Hall of Famers do you have there? One? Two, three, four, eight,

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty four? Eight times eight sixty four, isn't it? That's

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty good? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, sixty four. Hey, rumor has

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>it that it was thirty seven years ago today that

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 1>you had the pine to our home run? Do you

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>do you dread this day? No? I like it. So

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you're okay with Fritzie reaching out to you to say, hey,

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>let's reminisce about the pinet our game when you went

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>crazy after the home run was taken away from you. Sure,

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't I? I mean I didn't strike out, what

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the bases loaded, I didn't have a ball to go

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.839
<v Speaker 1>between my legs. I didn't drop a pop up. If

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you're if you if you want to be known for

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>something dan Um hitting a home run off a Hall

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>of Fame picture in a big good situation, top of

0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the ninth inning, down one run or down two runs,

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>and you hit a three run home run off of him,

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's pretty good, or a two run home run,

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty good thing to be remembered for. I

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>have a bat that I got Okay, I love this

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>show and tell here. Yeah, I got a bat that

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I gave Mike Bodocker, my last year former OO, and

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>he called me up one day and he says, hey, George,

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>i'd look for you to sign this. I have a

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>bad collection. And so the next thing you know, we're

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>talking and he brings it over and brings the sun

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Corey with him, and he shows me this bat. This

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>bat right here is the it's the most pine tart

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>bat I've ever used in my life. That's a real bat.

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>And look at that Oh my god, George, I can

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 1>barely is all the pine tart bat, the pine tart bat.

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The pine tart came right to hear, you know, it came,

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it came. It was two inches shorter, and they called

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>me out on that. And then this is a bat

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I use in nineteen ninety three, my last year, and

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>so Mike Bodocker brings it over to the house and

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there playing with it in my office, just

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>playing with it, and I'm going, God, I don't have

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>any used bats that I've ever used in a I

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have any you know, I broke hundreds of them,

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 1>but you always gave them away because memorabilia back when

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I was playing wasn't that big a deal. And so

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and so he looked at it. He says, God, you

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 1>loved I said, Mike, I'd love this bat. He said,

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>keep it, keep it. So what I did what I did,

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Dan is I said, well, I got to give you

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 1>something in return. And every year we go to Cooperstown,

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody signs a bat. Everybody that goes there signs a bat.

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So I had like fifty five Hall of Famers on

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>this one bat, and I got them over here and

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a little thing and got about six of them, and

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I finally just said, pick one, it's yours. So he

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>took a bat that had sixty Hall of Fame Baseball

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>players on It's I ever made sixty of those guys

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 1>for a real game. Used bat that I used in

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>The pine tar bat is in Cooperstown. It's in Cooperstown.

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 1>And the one thing I shouldn't have done is gay

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Lord Perry was on our team, and gay Lord was

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a collector. He was a collector before collecting was big

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and popular. And and I get the back back a

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>week later, and they sent it to me in Detroit,

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and I go up and I use it. And so

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>before I used it, I had to clean it up.

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I got some alcohol in a rag, and I cleaned

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>all the pine tart off until eighteen inches. I drew

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>a little red line where eighteen inches was because I

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to break the rules. And Gaylord comes up

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>to me and he says, what bat are you using?

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>And I said the pine tart bat. He said, you

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>know that's worth a lot of money. If you break it,

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>it's worth nothing. So I said, okay, And then I

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>ended up giving it to the Hall of Fame you

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>know your reaction. Are you surprised when you see your

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>reaction when you come out of the dug out? Like like,

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're a pretty you're a competitive guy. You

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>weren't afraid to compete. You weren't afraid to, you know,

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>throw a punch at Greg Nettles. But you're coming out

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of that dugout. Have you ever been had you ever

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>been that mad in a baseball game before? I don't

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>think so. No, that when I saw my reaction, you

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 1>got to be kidding me. I mean, what's what the

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>flailing arm? That stuff? I mean, that's the craziest thing

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen. In fact, they did a babble ahead

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>of that of the flailing arms, you know, instead of

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a bubblehead moving my arms go up and down. But no,

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I had never seen anything like that. And then and

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>then when you see the full video of Joe Brinkman

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>coming behind me and grabbing me, and I don't know

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>who it is. I didn't realize it was an umpire

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>because he's behind me and so I'm trying to get away.

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>As much as I knew it could have been Billy

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Martin or Great Nudds or whose gossips who knows, And

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>so I'm trying to get away, and that really makes

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 1>it look a lot worse than it was. And then

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>when it was all said and done, then I realized

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that Gaylord Perry stole the bat from the umpire? Are

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you aware of that? But that he wanted to collect?

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Did he want? He wanted? He like, he didn't think

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 1>anybody was going to chase that. So he takes the

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>bat out of Tim McClelland's hand, and that rumor has

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it he threw it to Steve Renko because you know,

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the police started gathering around him, and now Steve Renko

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 1>has it, he just takes off run into the locker

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>room and now all the police are following him up

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to the locker room to get the bat. So it

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 1>makes me look like, you know, I was using a

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>concealed weapon. You know, they're trying to hide the evidence. Well, yeah,

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>it was in a cork bat, like Albert Bell. It

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>was just, yeah, excess for a lot of guys. How

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>prevalent do you think we're cork bats back when you play?

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they are now. They were pretty prevalent

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>when I was playing. Did you ever try one? No?

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I never did. Did you ever know of somebody that

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>was using him? Yes, some of my teammates used him.

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>But so you put the Super Bowls in there, so

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you drill out the center or the top of the

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>girl out the center of the bat down to about

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>down about five inches from what I'm told, and then

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>they get cork and they stick cork in there and

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>just cram that cork in there as tight as can

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>or Super Bowls or whatever, and then they put some

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>putty over the end of it so you can't really tell.

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>And then I got I think it was Greg Nettles

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>one time swung and the top came off in Super

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Bowls when flying all over the field, you know. And

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>then you remember Chris Sabo Sabo when he broke up

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>bat in two, how the whole inside of the bat

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 1>was hollowed out and there was cork inside. Now, I

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know if they use a cabern a, you know,

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a good chardon a cork or what. I don't know

0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>what wine goes best with that, but yeah, there was

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that cheating going on. He's George Brett.

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>He uh is the Royals vice president baseball Operations, former

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Royals third baseman you hit what three hundred and seventeen

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 1>home runs something like that in your career. If you

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 1>if you played now launch angle the whole thing, would

0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>you have three thousand hits or would you have a

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.639
<v Speaker 1>fifty home runs? I would have three thousand hits. I

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 1>think my deal is, And to be honest with you, Dan,

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you create launch angle if you're bat.

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>My bat stayed through the zone in a long time,

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the same plane as the ball game. My bat stayed

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 1>on that plane a real long time. So that's one

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 1>reason I didn't strike out much. If I hit the

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 1>ball on the dead round part of the bat right square,

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a line drive. If I hit

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a little below that, it's going to be a ground ball.

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.159
<v Speaker 1>If I hit it a little above that, it's going

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 1>to create the launch angle. But I think now people

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.239
<v Speaker 1>are trying to create launch angle. That's why you have

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>so many strikeouts in the game. And I think that's

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>why the game's getting a little more boring to watch

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>because there's too many strikeouts and the ball's not put

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.919
<v Speaker 1>in play as much to me. To me, launch angle

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.160
<v Speaker 1>is the angle of the ball comes off the bat.

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can create it. But I think

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are teaching that now and as

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a result, I mean, I wouldn't have changed. Never tried, well,

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I tried to hit a home run, I never I

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.439
<v Speaker 1>never hit one trying. So I learned really early in

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>my career, don't try to hit home runs. Home runs

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>come as a result of a good swing. And I

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 1>just tried to take a good swing and everything and

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>tried to hit a hardline drive up the middle or

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 1>right center or left center. And if I got it

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty good, it would it would If I got a

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.360
<v Speaker 1>little higher on the bat, it would be a flyball,

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 1>and if I hit a good enough it would be

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a home run. And playing in the biggest ballpark in

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the American League in Kansas City eighty one home games

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and Astor turf field, I mean it was a very

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.480
<v Speaker 1>fast field. Our teams never really did hit a lot

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 1>of home runs. We were singles, doubles, triples teams and

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>stole a lot of basses. And that's what our recipe

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>for success was. And we were a really successful franchise.

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Why when we did that. It's great to talk to you.

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're well, Yeah, I'm doing good. How you

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>holding up. Everything's good, h no complaint. Yeah, we we'd

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 1>just been kind of quiet here, trying to be smart

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and just trying to be a five tool broadcaster here. Yeah,

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 1>well you've always been mad. Thank you, George, Thank you.

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that. It's als And sorry I didn't call

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 1>you on our birthday. Yeah, well you kind of missed

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:14.879
<v Speaker 1>that the last few years. Yeah, I know, I was

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>hoping you'd call me. I don't know how to get

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>a hold of you. You know how to get a

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 1>hold of me, Fritzie, you can give George my number finally. Yeah. Yeah,

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I know chad Ward has it. Oh, chad Ward,

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 1>our trigger barbecue guy, Yes he does. George isn't the best.

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, I love that guy. I text him last

0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 1>night because I'm making something for the family today, and

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.640
<v Speaker 1>he got back to me, you know, in this span

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.919
<v Speaker 1>of like fifteen minutes, with the recipe of what I

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>need to do on the trigger girl today. He always

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.679
<v Speaker 1>does that to me if I ever have a question,

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.679
<v Speaker 1>if I'm going to try something new, I texted him,

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I said, Okay, how do I do this? And within

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.360
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes he usually responds. He called me the other

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 1>day he what do they call that? Not a zoom call? FaceTime?

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>FaceTime me from Ken Griffy's office. So I thought your

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.120
<v Speaker 1>office was pretty cool. Look at this. And so then

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I had to show my World Series trophy and some

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>silver sluggers. And I showed him my Mission Hills Country

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Club trophy for being the club champion two years ago,

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>which is the biggest upset and the biggest forest in

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the history of anything. But I showed him that nice

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>as Yeah, but does Ken Griffy have any of these?

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 1>He had all his silver sluggers. He had twenty gold

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 1>gloves lined up. I got one, I got three silver bats.

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Ken Griffey ever won a batting championship though,

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>But it was kind of cool comparing offices with him

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 1>in Florida. But now, dan Is or Chad is one

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest guys I've ever met in my life.

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.880
<v Speaker 1>And he cooks for you a lot, doesn't he. Yeah, yeah,

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he shows up at the super Bowl. Anytime we need him,

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Chad shows up. He's really a generous soul. Well, you

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 1>know that you should think about doing is going to

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Salt Lake City, the headquarters for Tragger. Yeah, and they

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.639
<v Speaker 1>have and he does cooking classes and me and my

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 1>son Jackson, who's a big tailgator. For all the Chiefs games,

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:13.359
<v Speaker 1>he'll have fifty people at his tailgates, charges everybody twenty bucks,

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and he'll be doing brisk at the day before he'll

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.879
<v Speaker 1>be doing ribs. And if it's a noon game, they

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.200
<v Speaker 1>leave at six thirty in the morning to go set

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 1>up their thing. They even have a urinal there in

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 1>a tent with kitty litter in there. And but it's

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty cool. And he's he's just become a great, great,

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 1>great friend. Yeah, I love him. He's good. I love

<v Speaker 1>would be nice, or we'll just have you know, barbecue.

<v Speaker 1>Sounds good. Thank you, George. That's the great George Brett.

<v Speaker 1>short ribs that I've been making. I had to marinate

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.480

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:54.920
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. You're welcome. He's one of the great shooters

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.959
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA, but I got more important things to

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>ask him. He's our Bubble Core respondent. He is the

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:04.199
<v Speaker 1>star shooter for the Miami Heat. Duncan Robinson back on

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the program, Duncan given the problem that Jared Smith has

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 1>that he only brought seven pairs of underwear, how many

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>pairs of underwear did you bring to the Bubble? I

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.640
<v Speaker 1>got plenty. I got plenty, and they do a good job.

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>We get a laundry done twice a week, so the

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 1>rotation is it's all good. Okay, that was all I

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know. Duncan have a good week there. So

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 1>what was it like playing a game in the Bubble

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>after all of this time? There's definitely a little different,

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:37.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, the atmosphere just being so quiet. Really, some

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of the conversations that you can hear throughout a game

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that you normally wouldn't be able to hear, whether it

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 1>be on the bench or amongst players. But it's it's honestly,

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:47.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty used to it, just because you know, as

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>recent as last year I was playing in the G

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>League game. Those are some pretty quiet jims as well,

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's nothing new for me. But are you

0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 1>going to have to modify what you say? Do you

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:00.040
<v Speaker 1>think the guys are going to be aware of the

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>language out there? Yeah, we quickly learned, you know, We've

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>we've played one game, but we quickly quickly learned that

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the conversations and miss players gets picked up very easily

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 1>on Mike's, one of our video guys who spends the

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 1>entire game in the locker room basically cutting up film,

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>was saying that he was picking up conversation on the

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 1>court and just told all of us to be weary

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of what we were saying. So definitely kind of ads

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 1>a new dynamic for sure. Okay, but who would you

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:29.880
<v Speaker 1>worry about the most on your team saying something inappropriate?

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I probably jumped to Jimmy. Jimmy, Yeah, Jimmy Butler. You know,

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:40.680
<v Speaker 1>he's a very open personality and just kind of says

0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 1>it was on his mind. So I would maybe worry

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>about something being picked up that maybe maybe the public

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be hearing. Yeah, but what about this story where

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.679
<v Speaker 1>he got somebody yelled at him for dribbling the basketball

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.520
<v Speaker 1>early in the morning. Yeah, yeah, I had heard about that.

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm only a couple of doors down from him, so

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.159
<v Speaker 1>I certainly wasn't the one complaining. I guess the was

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the floor belowing. But you know, we first got here,

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we had an initial quarantine a forty eight hours, so

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess he got a little restless in his room. Okay,

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 1>but do you know who's underneath you? Is there another

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 1>team underneath you? Honestly, I don't. I don't think it's

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>mostly spread up where you know, each team has a floor,

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:18.879
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not sure who's on the floor below us.

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Now a site from basketball, what do you do in

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the bubble? Yes, there's a lot of downtime. It's been

0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 1>great to just be able to catch up with my teammates.

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>We've had a great opportunity to just sit down a restaurant,

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>scaped meals, that sort of thing. I brought my golf cups,

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 1>so I've been playing golf a little bit here and there.

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>And then a couple of guys on our staff are

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 1>really good fisherman, so I'm not much for a fisherman myself,

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but I've been able to link on with them and

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 1>catch a few food situation worth complaining about. No, I

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:52.159
<v Speaker 1>think it's pretty good. It's it's definitely a little unconventional

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>just in how they have to serve everything just because

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 1>they want to make sure it's all sanitary and everything's compartmentalized.

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 1>But it's nothing to complain about. There's lots of options.

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, the meals that they give us are solid,

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 1>but there's also restaurant options as well if if you

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>don't like what you're being served. But are you are

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you confident that the seasons starting on ton I am, Yeah,

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>it certainly seems that way. One thing that really jumps

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 1>out of you is just the emphasis on the safety protocol,

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:21.639
<v Speaker 1>and they've done a great job of enforcing it. You know,

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 1>it's never gonna be perfect, but they've certainly made it

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 1>so we all feel safe here, that's for sure. And

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>what about social distancing on the bench, Yeah, that's definitely unique.

0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 1>We're all spread out, there's like different roads of the bench,

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and we're all supposed to be six feet apart, which

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 1>is a little fucking in theory, just because you know,

0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 1>we practice against each other every day and then we're

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>out there on the floor and then for whatever reason,

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:47.959
<v Speaker 1>as soon as we step outside the lines and then

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 1>we got to be six feet apart. But I understand it.

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're just trying to emphasize being apart from

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 1>each other and social distancing in general. If I gave

0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you one hundred threes to shoot just by yourself, yeah,

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>how many you're making. Uh, So we have like a

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 1>an assessment that we do here. I'm usually somewhere around

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 1>like high eighties. Um, the best I've ever had. I

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 1>got ninety three a little while back, so that's that's

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:21.359
<v Speaker 1>my best. But I mean that's just stationary catch and shoot,

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that's still that's still pretty good. That's yeah, pretty good.

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you can catch a rhythm and kind

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:31.199
<v Speaker 1>of get going. Um, yeah, you can just kind of

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>get in that that little bit of his own. But

0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>obviously it's a lot. It's a lot different in the game.

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, you've got people garden you're trying to trying

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:39.439
<v Speaker 1>to stop you from shooting open one, so it's different.

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:41.160
<v Speaker 1>But if you ever just let it fly and then

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you say to the defender, take that, or that's in

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 1>or face or you know, I actually talk a little

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:51.159
<v Speaker 1>bit more than people would would maybe expect um, And

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not so much like trash talk as much as

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it is just like me kind of hyping myself up. Wait, wait,

0:27:57.119 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 1>give me give me a fur instant, because given your

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a there's no way I would be intimidated if you're

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>talking trash to me. I don't know how much to

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 1>take that personally or what. But like I'm nervous about

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you shooting, I'm just not worried about you like you know,

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 1>saying like take the punk or yeah, there's more where

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that came from. Yeah, I'll give you an example when

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:24.439
<v Speaker 1>when Jimmy first got to Miami his first day there,

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 1>we were playing pick up and UM, him and I

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of got into it, going back and forth. We

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>were guarding each other and at this point I was

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I was just basically trying to make the team. UM.

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:36.879
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's kind of how I play. I have

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a chip on my shoulder. And

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:41.959
<v Speaker 1>he went under on a screen and as soon as

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I like let go of the ball, basically don't ever

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>go under a sum and let him know that he

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>should have been there. So that's that's kind of what

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I what I kind of do. UM. It's more like

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>ingest than anything. It's not really like a personal attack

0:28:56.440 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>on anybody. It's more kind of the psychological warfare. Guess.

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 1>But you wouldn't do that to Lebron, would you? If

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Lebron went under on a screen and you let one

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 1>fly and you knew what was going in. I mean,

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, once you get between the lines, anything's possible.

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say that I would never, um,

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>but it maybe wouldn't be my best judgment to do

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 1>so I kind of like the fire within him. Well,

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>go back to the story you told us that when

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you played the first time you played against him, he

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>was not even guarding you. He basically was like, oh,

0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna let that guy stand out there. He didn't

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 1>even know how great a shooter you were. Yeah. I

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 1>hopefully by now I've garnered somewhat of a level of

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>respector actually, honestly, hopefully I haven't and I continue to

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 1>be open. But um, well we'll see if if we

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 1>run into them and the playoffs here, that'd be a

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>good thing. Uh, you're you're running your sweep stakes, you're

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 1>raising funds for the United Way, and we want to

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 1>make sure you get a mention of that as well. Yeah,

0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 1>there's almost a little a little bit less than a

0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 1>week left, um in the sweep stakes and space just

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity for me to try to give back to

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:05.400
<v Speaker 1>a community in Miami that's done so much for me.

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's a it's a raffle based thing, so

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you just buy tickets and there's all sorts of different prizes,

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>of grand prizes basically like a VIP game night. Um.

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Obviously this is all assuming that the things get back

0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to normal here hopefully soon. But there's other ones. There's

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 1>there's zoom sessions and shooting lessons and even around the golf.

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:26.479
<v Speaker 1>So that's to go. Let's engage platform. Um. It can

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:28.840
<v Speaker 1>be found on my social media as well. The links

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to it all. But yeah, I just thought it would

0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>be a great way to give back to a community,

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>and especially in these these uncertain times. I just want

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to try to use my platform to create some positive change. Yeah,

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>it's let's engage dot com slash pop ups to support

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the cause. There with Duncan Robinson. Hey, good luck and

0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>thanks again for making some time and hopefully we'll get

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a chance to talk to you again. All right, thank

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you very much for having me, Duncan Robinson. He can

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>sorted talk trash. Hey, don't go under on that screen.

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>See I'm being mean spirited here. I gotta wait till

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:05.960
<v Speaker 1>he turns off his zoom and then I can have

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more fun. See you, Duncan. He was there,

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 1>he was getting ready to turn it off. He goes

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>we I mean, wait list say he's gonna say. I

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 1>just can't imagine. You know, he is a baby faced assassin. Now, hey,

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 1>don't go under that screen or you're going to get

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 1>more of this. I mean, that's what makes the trash

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 1>tuck so much more brutal, is that it's just coming

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>from a baby faced assassin. Hey take that, Yeah, yeah pull.

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if guys like that, they'll have to have

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that level of cockiness confidence to go from the G

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 1>League to playing thirty minutes a game in the NBA

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>in less than a year. That's nuts. I mean, I know,

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 1>but you're if you're gonna say something. He's trying to

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 1>make the team, But it's almost for you, not for them.

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Where I believe in myself so much that I'm talking

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 1>this smack it like he said, it pumps him up

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>not to jab people. Now, if I'm Jimmy Butler and

0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 1>he's my teammate or trying to make the team and

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 1>he's that confident, then I like that. But if I'm

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>facing that and all of a sudden he says, don't

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 1>go under that screen, I'll make you pay. I just

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine him having any you know, like street conversation

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>with you like saying, hey, punk, take that, but man,

0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:28.120
<v Speaker 1>can he shoot? He obviously great shooter, but you know,

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 1>people are starting to realize just how great a shooter

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:33.040
<v Speaker 1>he is. Who that's you know, I appreciate that because

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 1>he came out of nowhere to make the team and

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:40.800
<v Speaker 1>then he is a legitimate, great knockdown three point shooter

0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's all he does. He just takes threes. Can

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 1>you just the amount of effort it takes. If you

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>stand at the three point line, If you're twenty five

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>years of age, which I think he is, and you

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 1>just put up one hundred threes in a row, you're

0:32:57.360 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you're tired. I mean, it's that distance. But to do

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred ninety three ninety three out of one hundred crazy.

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, last call for phone calls. We're gonna go

<v Speaker 1>Last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 1>store tomorrow. Goren Dragitch, who was a teammate of Duncan

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Robinson who we just had on, says, Steph Curry's not

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the best shooter in the game. The best shooter is

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Duncan Robinson. Now that's what Duncan does. He shoots threes

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and he makes almost forty five percent of his three pointers,

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>which puts him in that Klay Thompson Steph Curry category.

0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you get a more well rounded game from Steph

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Curry and Klay Thompson. But Robinson is fourth in the

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 1>NBA and three point percentage behind JJ Reddick, Seth Curry

0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and George Hill. Wow, that's fun. Fun to have somebody

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:36.760
<v Speaker 1>on from inside the bubble and you know that age

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.920

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:09.760
<v Speaker 1>your mind today? Hey, good morning, Good morning George. Happy

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>birthday to Seaton. All Right, ribs look good? Thank you. Hey,

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 1>a quick over under on the baseball season. You know,

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:24.279
<v Speaker 1>hoping nothing happens between now and then, but I think,

0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in eighty years, I think we're

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 1>going to have a four hundred hitter. I'm over on

0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that one. It'd be a huge askers would think, but

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:33.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you think about that? And we'll catch you

0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:36.160
<v Speaker 1>guys later. I'm gonna go under on that, Thank you, George.

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 1>We won't have a four hundred batting average with these

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:42.120
<v Speaker 1>sixty games. We've had it over a sixty game span.

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.719
<v Speaker 1>We haven't had somebody start the season and go the

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 1>first sixty games batting over four hundred. I don't believe. Yeah, Paul,

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 1>how do you think baseball purists and the media would

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:55.360
<v Speaker 1>treat someone who hit four hundred this season? They'll have

0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 1>an asterisk attached to it that they'll say, oh, such

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:00.759
<v Speaker 1>and such batted four hundred. But that was in the

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 1>sixty game season. It feels like you're going to have

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I would have to have half a season before I

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:11.719
<v Speaker 1>think the baseball purists would acknowledge that somebody's gonna win

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the Cy Young and they could go six and two,

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 1>because if you're getting eleven starts, maybe Yeah, if somebody

0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>goes ten and oh, then they're going to probably win

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the Cy Young. Or, as Tom Berducci said, somebody's gonna

0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 1>have an ERA of under one point one two, which

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is the old time record by Bob Gibson in nineteen

0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:34.719
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight. Yeah. Point the high batting average is not

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the thing anymore. Last year, three thirty five led the majors. Yeah,

0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that's a long way from four hundred. Yeah. As mclevand

0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 1>has been saying for a few years now, nobody cares

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 1>about batting average on base percentage percentage. Yeah, I want

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to play this for you. The Washington head coach Ron

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Rivero was on the program first hour, and I appreciate

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 1>him coming on, and I asked him, at what point

0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 1>did you see enough where you said Dwayne Haskins is

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be my quarterback? Well, I've seen enough to

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 1>say that he's going to compete to be our quarterback.

0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 1>If you really go down and you watch those last

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>four games and I started and played, you feel pretty

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 1>good about him. You really did. I did, that's for sure.

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 1>But as I said, though, I'm not saying he's our

0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>starting quarterback. What I am saying is he's in position

0:37:24.000 --> 0:37:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to be our starting quarterback. He showed enough that I

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 1>believe that we have to give him a look and

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:30.839
<v Speaker 1>and and be I'm gonna be very honest. That's why

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't jump out and try to get Cam signed

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 1>right away, because I have to watch Dwayne and see

0:37:35.120 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 1>where he is. I can't stunt his growth. We've got

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 1>to give him the opportunity to show us what he

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:44.440
<v Speaker 1>can or can't do as honest as forthcoming. Because I

0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:46.840
<v Speaker 1>think if he had been there and already saw Dwayne

0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Haskins and had the opportunity to get Cam Newton. He

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:55.600
<v Speaker 1>probably would have gone brought in Cam Newton, Jesse and

0:37:55.640 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles. Hey, Jess, what do you have for me today?

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 1>And dan X it's a positively Friday. I'm going to

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:05.799
<v Speaker 1>start a bit negative, but I promise I'll finish positive. Okay.

0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to say thank you for offering up the

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 1>most welcome and distraction for me this week. My brothers

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and I we lost our mom this past weekend and

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys great shows to help me get through and

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:17.080
<v Speaker 1>what you guys do for the listeners that can't be

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 1>measured to thank you all, and thank that brings me

0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to my positive not firing shots. I promise there were

0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>some gloves in a bowl there and I was able

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to play catch with my dad and brothers during the

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:30.120
<v Speaker 1>time we'll being back home, and I hadn't done that

0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 1>like twenty years. So thanks a lot for everything. Guys,

0:38:32.360 --> 0:38:34.759
<v Speaker 1>have a great weekend. Thank you Jesse. Glad we could

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:36.960
<v Speaker 1>play a small part in your life, but to be

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:40.720
<v Speaker 1>able to get out there and lost the baseball Yeah see,

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I love it. He's up on the show if he's

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:48.640
<v Speaker 1>throwing out dad and jokes oh yeah, yeah, oh I know,

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 1>is no no, not a shot, and I'm just saying that.

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I got to play catch with my

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:55.000
<v Speaker 1>dad and it's not a shot. It's just a nice

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:57.879
<v Speaker 1>thing I was able to do. Hey, we take shots, well,

0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Paulie and I do. I don't know if Fritzie take shots.

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, his dad's dad. You're not big on death,

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:06.839
<v Speaker 1>but you know, Paul and I we have fun with

0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 1>our dad dying. Do you have to embrace these things? Yeah,

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:13.400
<v Speaker 1>we do better that we do it before you do it.

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:15.960
<v Speaker 1>That's that's always been my model, certainly with my brothers.

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I'd rather make fun of myself before they make

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:21.360
<v Speaker 1>fun of me. Yeah, it's funny because that, like Gallows humor,

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 1>is very unique to people with it. Like this morning,

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Paul said, oh, hey, happy birthday. I made it to

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 1>another one and I said, yeah, thanks, I had the

0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 1>under And Marvin in the back was like, geez, did

0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:38.680
<v Speaker 1>you say you had the under on your birthdays? Well,

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Marvin is relatively new around here. When people hear us

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:46.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about our dad's dying and then they don't know

0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>how to react. But usually if we're to dinner and

0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 1>then you know, be like Paul, you'll say, oh man,

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:54.520
<v Speaker 1>my dad he used to love this kind of meal

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:56.919
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But he's dead. And then you'll just see

0:39:56.960 --> 0:39:59.400
<v Speaker 1>somebody go did he what did he just say? His

0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 1>dad's my dad's dead. Yeah, my dad's dead. Yeah, my

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:05.040
<v Speaker 1>dad's dead too, Yeah, Paul. But I was dark early,

0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:07.480
<v Speaker 1>like a year after my dad died. Like a salesman

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 1>called the house. Excuse me? Can I speak to your father?

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:11.680
<v Speaker 1>The man of the house, like you're gonna at the

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 1>hold a while? And my mom like, what are you doing?

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:16.200

<v Speaker 1>hit four hundred in his team's first sixty games of

0:41:17.320 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the season, According to Ethan, the last to do it,

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:24.239
