There's not a lot of promotion for the 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.800 Sunday Podcast.

Uh, 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.319 and we'll keep the train of moving down the tracks. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.319 It is a mail bag podcast, So we're not gonna 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.720 deally dally, not gonna waste time, not gonna lollygag, not 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.679 to gonna procrastinate like Gascon does.

Y'all could kiss my fucking ask very 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.080 nice this? How about this used to be way more 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.400 fun before the guys dove deep into their conservative political agendas. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.440 Maybe move back to one show a week with guests. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.640 The episodes of picking games against the spread and with 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.120 the guests are actually really good. If not, either one 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.520 of these guys would make a great talking head or 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.880 guests for Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel. Well, first 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.320 of all, I would I would love to be a 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.640 guest on Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson. That would be 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.600 a great honor a highly grated show. Why don't we 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.320 get Tucker Carlson on the podcast where people have heart attacks? 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.400 If we got them, why don't we get him on? 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.400 Why don't these put them on. You have You have 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:23.000 colleagues here at Fox that call Tucker Carlson a white supremacist? 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.840 Is that right? Well? How is he white supremacist? What 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.480 is he in the KKK? I didn't he didn't get 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.760 that message. I have no idea. Okay, uh but no, 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.200 I see, so you don't if you don't agree with 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:41.040 me politically, calm down. I'm looking forward. I I hope 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.040 someone does take our advice and does like a five 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.480 pick parlay on the presidential prop bets that you gave out. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.720 I think it'd be awesome. All right, let's take a bet. Now. 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.359 We usually do an interview podcast on Friday. We try 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.040 to do that. We try to bring somebody in we like, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:55.919 somebody we know or somebody we don't know. We want 0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:00.600 to know and we want to like, how will the 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.520 Friday podcast do? Which was only about the election? We 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.920 went way too long. We went way too long because 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.840 of the situation. We got excited with the prop bets. 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.040 Will it do as well as last week's podcast? Better 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:22.880 or worse? I think it will do better better, Yeah, 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.320 I think it'll do. The last Friday was the Babylon 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.919 b Guy, the CEO of the Babylon Be, which was 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.720 very good. Yeah, I'm gonna say it does about the same. 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.880 Did you What was the reaction like, because I saw 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.640 a lot of people commenting, so they liked it. Yeah, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.360 I got some positive feedback. People really enjoyed it, which 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.400 is always nice, and it makes you feel good when 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.119 people say that they like something you do. It makes 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.880 you feel like that's kind of cool that people actually 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.920 listened to it and liked it. So uh. In fact, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.560 I have an email here from Let's see here from 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.800 the Couch. The couch actually wrote in it says, great 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.920 interviews with Andy Furman and the guy from the b 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.840 both are very funny. Perhaps a journalism gig for Gascon 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.040 coming up. Yes, some people did say Gascon that that 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.280 you were fishing for a job at the Babylon Be. 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.600 Any truth to that. Why would that be? He said, 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.800 He was clear. He said most of his staff as 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.480 part time people. Yeah, but you could get a part 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.160 time gig and worked that into a full time gig 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.840 if the BE really blows up even more. And he 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.839 did say that they're lacking the sports gene at the 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.960 Babylon Be, that they don't have a lot of sports people. 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.800 There's an option. It's like, hey, I'll be your sports guy. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.719 Maybe I don't know. How about we could both team 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.080 up and submit. You should email him and say, hey, 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.760 you know, we'll be your sports guy because we can 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.240 think of Babylon be like stories that are so ridiculous 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.119 and over the top, right, we could like that Tony 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.760 Larussis and LaRussa got hired as the White Sox manager, 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.839 and you could you could think of the comedy you 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.560 could do on the Babylon b with the LaRussa story. Actually, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.760 how about this, we're thinking out loud, Um, how great 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.120 is it to be in your late seventies though the 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.279 russ Is in his mid to late seventies. White Sox 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:10.720 manager Joe Biden seventies seven. Donald Trump was seventy four. Yeah, 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.200 one of those gonna be president and get a big 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.680 league managing job. I remember Jack McKeon managed the Marlins 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.880 at age eighty and uh he won a World Series 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.440 a little younger than that, but he was man he 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.280 I had some great conference, me and Lee Klein, who 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.920 had on the podcast. We had some amazing conversations with 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.960 Jack McKeon about the early days of baseball was wild, 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.400 So what what if we did what if we did 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.400 a Babylon B podcast where you had to open up 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.760 the podcast with a fake monologue, but you and I 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.880 were playing off of it and obviously a thing of 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.320 if we would fit, if people would believe it or not. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.760 So it's like a war of the world situation and 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.120 where you know, I, I gotta tell you guess I 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.240 got street cred. I can't be given up my street cred. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.160 I am a bastion of truth. I cannot be compromised. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.479 I cannot be You're trying to compromise my my credibility here. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.640 You just said we should do something. Well, no, I 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.640 said no if I if I submit that, I gonna 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.000 put my name in it or your name in it. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.800 But if we submit it like a headline, they said, 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.320 the most important thing is the headline. That the story 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.320 doesn't really matters the headline. So what would let's just 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.120 do a little exercise LaRussa hired by the White Sox 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:29.080 and drive through of um, well, no, you gotta tie 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.120 it in, like, let's let's try to work this out. Um, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.039 what's been the big unfortunately very sad story, But it 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.680 is a story that many people dying in nursing homes. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.880 So the Russa's saved from coronavirus, taken out of nursing 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.640 home to manage the White Sox. How about that? No? 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.360 Could you don't seem to like that? All right, well 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.760 you better than that. I was gonna say, like, maybe 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.560 like LaRussa, Larissa arrested for d u I gets hired 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.960 by White Sox. Oh no, that's too obvious. Yeah, how 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:07.719 about let's see here, Larussa's saved from drowning in drunk tank. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:13.920 About that. You're gonna have some comedy, man, Yeah, I 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.480 don't think about that. LaRussa hired to manage the White Sox. 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.480 In an unrelated note, whiskey and bourbon sales going up 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:30.320 in Chicago. All right, let's get to the mail bag. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.080 We don't have tons of time here. Yes, these are 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.680 actual questions sent in by actual listeners like yourself. I 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.880 do apologize. I got a little carried away because the 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.880 Dodgers won the World Series, and so I did not 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.840 part really post this on Wednesday. I was in my 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.040 Championship hangover, So I did not do that bad job 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:53.000 by me. Alright, Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts rights and he says, 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.040 by that, how great is it that Pierre who's one 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.040 of the big star fans of the show, pe One guy. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.880 Pierre is from a town my and father lived in 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.360 and grew up in. Worked as a plumber in Springfield, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.080 mass before he headed out to the West coast.

And yet Gagon doesn't appear to appreciate my efforts. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:46.079 What happened to the customers? Always right? That's a great point. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.880 You know, when you're raised west of the four oh five, 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.120 you spit a loogie at the people below you.

Was 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.600 gonna bring him on a couple of days ago, but 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.240 Ben was not too excited about that. Well, I know, 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.840 I'm excited to have your dad on. I probably should 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.040 sit that one out and just let you and your 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.440 dad talk. I would sit that out. I can't, like, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.439 I can't ask questions of your dad. Okay, well I 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.120 can go that way. He can either go you asking 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.040 your dad or I could ask your dad. But okay, 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.920 so fine, and then uh yeah, we're gonna have him on. 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.320 I I was lining up bigger name guests, but I 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.160 think we got the Ron pull Peel treatment. I'm pretty 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.440 sure we got the Robbo Peel treatment, so I know, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.240 so yeah, I wanted to get Rompol Peel on. The 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.320 old infomercial guy was retired and I was friends with 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.400 him on social media, so I sent him a bay 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.000 a message, and of course the response was can you 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.480 send me an email to my publicist. You know, so 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.880 you know you retired, you have a goddamn publicist. So 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.760 I went, all right, I sent an email, and then 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.840 was back and forth. And you know, Ron such a 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.480 dick that I like him. I'm a fan of his still, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.080 but he's a deck. He wouldn't come on because we 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.440 weren't big enough, so it wasn't worth his time to 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.720 leave his Malibu abode. Uh. So there was that. And 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.720 then so this guy is a very powerful figure in sports. 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:44.200 We will not say who. Who is someone related to 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.040 the most powerful athlete in the most important sport for 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.280 many people. And so we were gonna have this person on. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.800 And again, the same situation. I was friends with this 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.600 person on social media. I sent said person a message 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.400 about coming. Said person Rolleac said contact my publicist please, uh, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.840 and then I'll know implied that he would do it. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.520 Um sent email to publicists, thinking that this was a 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.520 done deal. Um, still waiting to hear back. Still still 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.280 waiting to hear back from said publicists. So screw you. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.320 That's what I have to say about that. But we 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.280 will have your your old man on. The chief will 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.319 have him on. At some point. I think I got 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.160 somebody for next week. I bet somebody on the election, 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.559 and if I win, we won't have this guy. But 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.040 if I lose, he has to act. If he wins, 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.360 he has to come on, and if I if I win, 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.520 I have to go on his show. Okay, So that's 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.480 the mail what age group? Uh it's someone I worked 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:49.000 with years ago. All right, Um, let's here Michael and 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:54.360 Newton falls, Ohio, says Ken, Or will the Dodgers repeat 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.520 in Michael, I'm living in the moment right now. I'm 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.280 not worried about one. I can't wait to see what 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.120 pandemic is gonna be upon us, what plague is going 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.120 to be upon us. Uh, here's how I'll answer that. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.800 Can of course, the Dodgers are always going to be 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.840 in a vision where they can win the World Series? 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.920 Will they win the World Series? Will they repeat? Probably not. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:23.000 Baseball is a it's a flukey sport, right. You think 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.439 about how baseball, the outcomes of baseball and the three 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.720 true outcomes and all that stuff, But the the way 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.280 baseball teams are set up, it's a it's a weak 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.600 link sport, which means that you can have the highest 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.080 payroll and it doesn't really matter that much because the 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.840 quality of the bit players on the team is more 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:49.400 important often in baseball than it isn't like basketball, for example, 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.120 where if you have a superstar player in basketbent, I 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.080 don't know this. If you have a superstar player in basketball, 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.760 you're set at least to get to the playoffs. You 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:01.360 really gotta suck at the plays. Baseball, by rule, it 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.160 spreads around the opportunity. So therefore, what I'm trying, it's 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.400 a long way to answer the question, A long road 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.200 for a short answer. You want brevity. The answers, no, 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.520 they're not going to repeat. But that's because of the 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:17.120 way baseball set up. A successful major league team should 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.360 not allocate more than sixtent of its payroll to one player. 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.320 That usually doesn't happen anymore. It doesn't happen. And even 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.720 if you've got a dominant picture like look at him 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.960 or a player Dan Tampa Bay, right, they had the 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:35.240 very bonds of modern times, the very bonds amoundern times 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.400 on their team. He hits only once every turn through 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.400 the lineup. So you're talking about three or four bats. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.280 That's it, three or four opportunities, and all of those 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.200 three or four opportunities. Randy Rose Arena, you could walk 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:46.600 him a couple of times so he doesn't get the 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.640 at home run. I'll tell you what though, that guy 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:53.600 was fucking white hot. That guy was hot. Now is 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.040 he a one hit wonder? Is he my Sharona or 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.560 does he come back and do it again in the 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.120 regular season. Is this guy that has staying power? I 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.560 think he does. We'll see. Here's the thing that I'm 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.840 sure you noticed this when he was playing like he 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.520 was spraying the field. He wasn't trying to pull every 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.080 ball like months he or like Bellinger. He can go 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.200 to the opposite way. That wasn't a problem. I think 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.760 Brandon Low, of anybody, that was the one guy. I 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.560 was like, how the fund does this guy walking with 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.080 fastball and hit it out? And he did? But yeah, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.320 I think it Rose a Rand stays for a long 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.160 period of time. I say, he stays, but it's couldn't 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:30.480 be impossible to match the legacy that he has built. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.720 The foundation right because if he goes a month and 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.240 bats two hundred with no home runs, they'll say, well, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.160 there you go. I don't know what happened to the playoffs, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.840 but I look at him now he's warped. He's buckled. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.320 That that whole one hit wonder thing though, and we've 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.680 seen that in baseball. We see Kevin moss Is a 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.120 famous one in baseball. Came up hit all these home runs, 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.240 did nothing, Brady Anderson. Brady Anderson, well that was there 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.600 was some chemical reasons for that. But the fifty home runs, 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.240 and it was wonderful, and you turned into a one 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:05.320 trick pony. One trick pony. So a cause celebra right 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.360 is what they call it. Coselem again like this to him, alright, 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.640 moving on here, thank you, Michael, and I did see Michael. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.480 They were there were Mallard Militia guys in Ohio that 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.800 we're bonding because of our show. So that that made 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.440 me feel pretty pretty good. There they were, they were 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:28.880 going back and forth. There was one guy in Steubenville, Ohio, Dusty, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.320 and he was like going back with Michael's They were 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.040 having a great conversation, Carlos, and Houston says, how much 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:39.920 did you and Roberto drink after Dodgers won the World Series? Well, 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.520 I'm saving my true celebration to the weekend, but I 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.600 will tell you that my man Roberto was so schnockered, 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.200 as we said on the radio that he I'm we 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.600 weren't making this up. He had to take an uber 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.680 to work because he could not drive. He would have 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.280 gotten if he had gotten pulled over in an accident, 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.160 and it could have injured somebody. So he at least 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.480 Roberto listened to my ps A guestcon and did not 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.840 drink and drive. But yeah, he was completely slashed and 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.200 uh and I told him, I said, dude, just calling sick, 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.280 take the day off, and but you know I can't 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.840 do that at the last minute. Cannot do it. They 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.840 don't allow that. So he showed up and I give 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.879 him credit for showing up to work, but he was 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.320 he was so blitz that he couldn't do his bit 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.600 cooking with the burder. He was so so hammered and 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.600 was like, oh man, jeez, all right, falls fan, Jimmy says, Ben, 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.639 and now that you have broken through and won a championship, 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.640 that leaves Eddie with the longest championship drought. Come up 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.720 with a cursed name for Eddie. He says, the Curse 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:45.920 of Edmund Dallas steamboat Willie Garcia, Wait, what's this drought? Well, 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.159 the teams he likes. Yeah, but the King's won in 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.399 two thousand fourteen. Yeah, but that's still the Lakers just 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.960 won sixteen days before the Dodger. Oh, here's the Laker frown. 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.280 What's that? No, no, no, I'm saying, no cooping bird 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:04.960 or Laker fans. Eddie's a He's a pirate Steeler Kings fan, 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:12.240 which is odd, bizarre, weird. What were the curse of Garcia? 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.520 But you see, Eddie celebrated his nineteenth anniversary at Fox 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.719 Sports Radio. I am just months ahead and I've been 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.760 at the company for over twenty years. But the company 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.080 gave me a six month, twenty six day vacation in 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.840 twenty on nine, so it's very close. It's like neck 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:31.359 and neck between me and Eddie. I asked, Eddie, did 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.080 they give you a gold watch for that, because I'm 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.399 still waiting for my gold watch for my twenty. We 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.560 only like round numbers though, so nineteen is not impressive, 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.359 but twenty will be impressive when he gets to twenty 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:44.720 because I'm a twenty. Next year will be seven for man. Yeah, 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:46.960 call me when you get to fifteen. You know, I 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.280 don't know if I want to. Oh, you actually did leave. Also, 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.600 you left and let's put on I actually had a 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.240 leave of absence. For some reason, people allowed you to 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.000 come back into the building. No, I don't know why. 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:05.680 That was clearly oversight, may mistake was made. Uh No, 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.200 I don't know who sent this one in It says 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.280 it's so good to finally hear a sports talk host 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.560 makes sense of the Dodgers Justin Turner COVID nineteen incident. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.480 Then he goes on a rang. He says, these limbs 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:23.399 want the world stopped secondary to COVID. I don't know 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.440 about all that, but there is certainly uh a feeding frenzy, 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:31.119 like blood in the water for a piranha. Then he 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.919 then he rips. He says, in the midday pussies on 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.480 w E I still don't go to the studio. But 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:42.600 they want baseball to have Turners suspended for life. Yeah, well, 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.800 we've heard there are many wokesters, the wocarati would like 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:50.920 to have Justin Turner suspended. I'm not in that. I 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.080 I think Turner should just retire and say screw you. 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.680 I've made my money, I'm thirty five, I'm a free agent. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.920 The Dodgers likely weren't going to bring him back, and uh, 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.080 a guy works as in higher license, he's a kid 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.359 to win the World Series, and these idiots think just 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.399 because you know, he found out he had something he 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.399 didn't realize he had because he's asymptomatic, all of a 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.920 sudden going back out as like a war crime? Are 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:20.320 you freaking kidding me? And I didn't even do a 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.159 monologue on it. I I don't want to give it 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.000 that attention because I think he's a bullshit story and 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.399 I don't want to give the attention. But all the 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:30.360 other people freak out, grab their pearls and clutched their 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.560 pearls and virtue signal and all that. I don't know 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.239 what's going on with the midday guys that he I 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.640 don't know. I don't work there anymore. I have friends there. 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.560 I hope the station is doing well. Um I don't 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.800 know that it is, but I hope it does. No. 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:47.560 Maybe I'll be back there someday. So you never know 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:52.760 what bad leadership, good leadership, good people. Some brakes went 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.520 against them. There was an activist we had Jerry Callahan 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:57.800 on his morning show Number one morning show in Boston 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:03.240 was torpedoed by a whack job actist. So that took 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.760 the whole station down, good morning show. It's like having 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.800 a dominant ace in baseball back in the old days. 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:11.719 You have a dominant number one starter, You're in it 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.080 your shot, right, you got a shot. You gonna be good, 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.880 you gonna be competitive, or a superstar in the NBA. 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:18.399 You might not make the finals. But if you have 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.720 a big time star, you're relevant, you're interesting. You have 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.679 a good morning show on radio, it trickles down to 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:28.480 everything else, all right, Chris and Marrit Cocoa, Iowa writes 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.560 in he says, say it right. You said you are 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.600 an old Hank Williams fan senior, not junior. What are 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.560 some of your favorite songs country or not? No love 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.639 for Hank junior. You I'm not a big Hank junior fan. 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.160 Oh I loved him on that Monday night football open. 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:49.800 I get rowdy from Monday night love that. Um. But 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.600 you know, when it comes to music, I just go 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.800 on in these streaming services and I type in like 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.359 I'm watching the country music documentary. So I typed in 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.800 Hank Williams SR. I was like, Wow, that's that's pretty 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:03.879
