Speaker 2: you did and participating. And what's better than a sports conversation?

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: Should people people argue all day long about politics and

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: everything else. Sports, we can we can all dive into

Speaker 1: And you know it's even great that you dove into

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: this industry. I think more than that, it's about the

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: whole lifestyle that you have. Man, Like you look around

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: at your social media. Man, this guy's living life. These

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: guys show he's traveling every other day. I feel like

30
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: he's in Columbia's. I feel like I should call you

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: Andreas from now on.

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: You know you, you wouldn't be the first one. I'll

33
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: tell you what though. I mean, I've been doing my

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: show now for almost thirteen years, and through those years,

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: I've heard other people saying, Hey, we're going to Vegas

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: or we're going to broadcast live before this boxing match,

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: and it's a boxing match that nobody's ever even heard of.

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: The two guys getting in the ring and they don't

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: care anything about it, but they're getting like a free trip,

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: and they're they're bringing their audience these interviews that they

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: don't even care about, or like an acc media day.

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: We're like, we're gonna go there. And what I like

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: to do is I like to do my show from

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: places that people can kind of attach themselves to and

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: feel like they're there with me. I mean, I'm talking

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: to you right now and I'm looking at the ocean

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: that's fifty feet away from me in a pool with

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: a water falling Costa Rica, and that's where I'm doing

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: my show for a part of this week. And I

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: had so many people come up to me over the years.

51
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: I didn't believe it at first when I first started

52
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: doing this, saying Hey, and you know, I tuned into

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: your show and I kind of lived my life through you.

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, huh, what are you talking about? And then

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: they're like, hey, you know I have a significant other,

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: I'm married, and I can't go these to these places.

57
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: So when I tune into you, I feel like I'm

58
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: there with you. And then I started putting a more

59
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: on social media, so like, I like doing my show

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: from places where people kind of kind of can interact

61
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: with me and feel like they're there with me and

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: enjoy it, not for not for some free trip to

63
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: a boxing match, you know, where people haven't even heard

64
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: of the guy's fight.

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I think Man. Thanks again, once again, thanks

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: you for shayan your knowledge and everything with us. Man. Hey,

67
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about what what what particular

68
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: sport do you really like to cover? Is it baseball?

69
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: For me? It's baseball? Hands down?

70
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: You know to dive into it would be baseball. I've

71
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: always been a huge, huge baseball fan. I love all sports.

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: You know who doesn't love football, basketball, hockey. I've been

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: going to hockey games forever.

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: How about that.

75
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: When yeah, they're doing they're doing so so well. But

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: when it comes to diving into to a sport and

77
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: really paying attention to almost every single player and every

78
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: team and knowing it really, really well, there's not enough people,

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: at least in South Florida that do that. For baseball.

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm one of them, and I'm glad you

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: are too. You know, I'm glad you guys cover Major

82
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: League Baseball in the Marlins because you hear people all

83
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: the time. Oh, there's still baseball fans in South Florida.

84
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: Move the team like please. You know, there's baseball fans

85
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: in South Florida. There's plenty of them. Unfortunately, there's just

86
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: not a lot of knowledgeable hosts and personalities in South

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: Florida that know enough to cover the team. It's nothing

88
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: they don't want to cover it, it's just that they can't. Now,

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: there are a handful of people, and I know some

90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: of them, including yourself, that do but if you tune

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: into somebody or you watch something and they don't know

92
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: anything about the sport other than hey, the Marlin's one,

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: four to three, then you can't really have a discussion.

94
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: So I love baseball. I love diving into it. I

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: talk about it as much as I can, and I

96
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: know you do the same.

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: Talk to me about these Miami Marlands. What are you

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: thinking about the playoff run that they went on last year,

99
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: what they're going into this year, the competition we got

100
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: at second base, first base, we got a little bit

101
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: of a problem because we got Cooper, we got Aggie.

102
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: You know what, do you share? Some share some thoughts

103
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: and and you got any scoops for us Man some

104
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: slated schools.

105
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna win the World Series. That I didn't

106
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: I didn't say which year though. No, Look, I mean

107
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: what they what they did last year was amazing. Given

108
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: everything that they went through. I think that shows a

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: lot about what you have in the clubhouse. It shows

110
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: a lot about your manager keeping them all together. Nobody

111
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: ever counts on them winning anything. Not only did they

112
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: get in the postseason, they won a series. I mean

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: they swept the Cubs at Wrigley Field. They they smoked

114
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: those cigars. That was a great image. So what they

115
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: accomplished last year I think says a lot about this group.

116
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: Starling Marte. That was a great pick up, and I'm

117
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: really glad that they still have him. You know, they

118
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: they signed him and said okay to that extension and

119
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: kept him. So I feel like this group never gets

120
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: the respect that they should. I'm not saying that, Hey,

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: you know, they're unbelievable, They're amazing. More people should talk

122
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: about it because they're going to win the NL East.

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: I'm not saying any of that, But what I am

124
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: saying is when you turn on your television or you

125
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: look on the internet and you see these predictions that

126
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: say the Marlins have a zero point two percent chance

127
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: of winning the division, that's the kind of disrespect that

128
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: I'm talking about, not saying put them at thirty or

129
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: twenty percent, but nobody ever counts on them to win,

130
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,679
Speaker 2: and I feel like that fuels this group. The rest

131
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: of the NLE East they could beat each other up

132
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: of the Marlins. You know, if I had to wager

133
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: on this right now, I'd be safe and I would

134
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: say they win somewhere in the mid seventies but you know,

135
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 2: you play this audio in that clubhouse and they may say, Okay,

136
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: well that's going to fire us up even more. But

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: just going off of what they did last season, adding

138
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: some some pieces, having some good, healthy competition, the team's

139
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: headed in the right direction. You know. They stuck with

140
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: their plan and things will get good for them.

141
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: It's truly, truly remarkable what they did. I think it

142
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: was a game changer that Marte went down right before

143
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: the postseason happened. It was it got hit. I think

144
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: that would have changed, like the whole playoff dynamic. Maybe

145
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: against the Braves for sure, But you know that's a

146
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: whole different story. Talk to me about what what what's

147
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: what's been your your the look? You like the current look?

148
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: You're more of the old school, the original colors. You're

149
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: more the orange. I know you got Lawrence Levy, he

150
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: likes the orange. So what's what's your you know, I don't.

151
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: I don't mind these uniforms and the look at all.

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: I thought when they moved to Marlin's Park and they

153
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: did all the I don't know, twenty nine colors or

154
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: whatever it was, that was a little too like, Hey,

155
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: we're Miami and we have all these colors, I don't

156
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: I don't know about all that. I like the current look.

157
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm not picky about those sort of things. If they

158
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: said to me, Pase Slater, what's one thing we're going

159
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: to change. You give us something we're gonna change. What

160
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: is it going to be? And I would just say,

161
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: the the one uniform they have that's black, with the

162
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: black numbers and the black letters. That's kind of tough

163
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: to tell you know who is who if you don't

164
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: really know. So that's the only thing I would change.

165
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: But you know, it's a uniform. Things are changing all

166
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: the time. I got no problems with it. I just

167
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: you know, I want this team to win. I want

168
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: them to be successful, and that's the first thing you

169
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: gotta look you gotta be successful, and then looked at

170
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: don't don't go the other way around. Because I used

171
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: to play back in the day, I used to play softball.

172
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: I was the captain of my song Faul team and

173
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: we were the best looking team out there uniform wies,

174
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: but we were not the best team playing once. So

175
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: get get your team right playing wise, and then you know,

176
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 2: get picky about the uniforms.

177
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: After that, I feel you, I feel you. I'm not

178
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: gonna lie. When the guys got into the playoffs last year,

179
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I choked up. I was in I was in Georgia

180
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: filming a movie, and it was just like I was

181
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of Braves Country, but I was just

182
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: choking up. I was like, Damn, the guys did it, man,

183
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: and that pride that you talk about, like, they really

184
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: showed up and it doesn't matter what they were at

185
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the end of the day. And I agree a little

186
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: tweak to the black uniforms. I think the like a

187
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: final touch to it would be like maybe pinstrike pants

188
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: just throwing that out there.

189
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: Well look, I mean we know that Derek Jeter is

190
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: a great Yankee of all time and a great baseball

191
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: player of all time, and I don't think it's any secret,

192
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: even though he won't say it publicly, Like, hey, you know,

193
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: we're trying to make this like the Yankees in many aspects,

194
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: but you look at the outfield wall. I like blue

195
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: better than the green that was out there. There's a

196
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: lot of things that they're putting in place that are

197
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: the Yankees style and the Yankees way, And I got

198
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: zero problem with that because if you go up to

199
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: anybody and you're like, hey, what's the class what's the

200
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: classiest organization, best organization in baseball? Everybody says the New

201
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: York Yankees. And if they don't say Yankees, then they're

202
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: a Red Sox fan. Yeah.

203
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good model to follow. Is nothing wrong

204
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: with it, you know what I'm saying. They got the

205
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: most championships of all time, so I.

206
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: Got zero issue with it. Continue to follow the Yankees

207
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: model also on the field when it comes to winning too.

208
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: A couple couple more things real quick and we'll get

209
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: chatty handy.

210
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

211
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: I was wondering, what what's your your favorite Marlin of

212
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: all time and your favorite era to have covered. It

213
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: could be from the pro play of days to Marlin's

214
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Park Days to go ahead.

215
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's easy to say the favorite. My

216
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: favorite time with the Marlins would have been nineteen ninety seven. Actually,

217
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if many people know this, but I

218
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: actually used to work in the clubhouse with the Marlins.

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: This is before my media days, soins how I kind

220
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: of got involved to baseball. So I worked with the

221
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: Marlins organization and just being around the players and so

222
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: close to so many teams, being on the field and

223
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: being there for that World Series on the field as

224
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: well being a bat boy. It was an experience like

225
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: no other. So from that standpoint and from my viewpoint,

226
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: it's definitely a ninety seven. And as far as players go, gosh,

227
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I met so many personally and still know

228
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: so many now it's hard for me to really narrow

229
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: it down to one. The one thing I will say,

230
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: and some of your audience may remember this guy because

231
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: I used to work in the visiting clubhouse, So whoever

232
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: the Marlins played, that's the uniform that I would be

233
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: wearing and I would be a bat boy for them.

234
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: And I had I always had on a Florida Marlins hat,

235
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: even in the visiting clubhouse because I was working for

236
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: the Marlins. So I have on a Florida Marlins hat.

237
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: And Randy Myers, who was a great closer at the

238
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: time he was with the Chicago Cubs, I believe, he

239
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: came up to me and he said, hey, if I

240
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: see you wearing that Marlins cap in his clubhouse. Again,

241
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: I don't remember what his words were, but I was like, okay, yeah, whatever.

242
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: And then the next day I was wearing my Marlins

243
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: cap and he took my Marlin's cap off, and it

244
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: was like my favorite path. He took it off, he

245
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: put it on the carpet. He put his foot on

246
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: the bill of the hat and pulled up the rest

247
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: of the hat and ripped it to shreds. And I

248
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: was like, are you you ain't mean this dude, This

249
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: dude had a stun gun in his locker in the clubhouse.

250
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if that could be a

251
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: scoop for you right there. I mean, I'm going way back,

252
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: but the things that went on in clubhouses before definitely

253
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: can not go on now. I mean, you got cameras,

254
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: and you know, you got everybody looking after you. But

255
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: when I was working in those clubhouses twenty five years ago,

256
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: oh jeez, I got I got stories. I mean, that's

257
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: one out of probably ten thousand.

258
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: You have it at the slater bringing a hell of

259
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: a schoop here to the barbecue. Thanks for sharing Andy,

260
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: a of you have. You wouldn't hapen to have any pictures.

261
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: You gotta have a picture from back in the day.

262
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: You got to drop that on social media for people

263
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: to trip it out and laugh with us.

264
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: I do have pictures. I have pictures actually when I

265
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: had hair, I haven't had hair for a long time now,

266
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: but it was I want to say ninety six or

267
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: ninety seven. One of those years there was a fad

268
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: going on in baseball where all the players were dying

269
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: their hair blonde. So I said, you know what I mean,

270
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: I put a uniform on him of that boy, so

271
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna die my hair blonde too, And they did

272
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: like a little quick feature during the game on me,

273
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: and the camera was on me, show all my blonde hair.

274
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: So I'm sure there's a picture or video of that

275
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: running around somewhere. And then coincidentally, about a year after

276
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: I died in my hair blonde, I didn't have hair anymore.

277
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't know if that had

278
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: something to do with it, but it kind of went

279
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: hand in hands.

280
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned that you used to play softball. What position

281
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: do you play?

282
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: Every position? Really, I wanted to be a pitcher because

283
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to be involved. I like being involved in

284
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: everything I do, and the most involved you could be

285
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: in softball or any sport, or baseball at least as

286
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: a picture. You know, that was one of the most

287
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: important parts. But I think after I issued like six

288
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: consecutive of walks. My teammates for like, hey, look you

289
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: gotta go. You gotta go into the outfield. So I

290
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: went from picture. I think right field that's where the

291
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: least amount of balls get hit. So uh that that's

292
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: where I was. Right field, not not my preference, but

293
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: left It was all right, alrighty, I'm a righty not

294
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: a good writing, but I'm alrighty. All right Andy.

295
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get into the final segment. This is

296
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: a fun little segment that we have on the barbecue

297
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: is called this or that, this or that? Okay, all right,

298
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: so over at first, you got Aggie a Coop.

299
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: I got I go Aggie something you know, I love Coop.

300
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: I think he's great, but just something about Aguilar I

301
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: just I like, I can't pinpoint it, but I want to.

302
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: I want to see more of them.

303
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: He like he brings that good energy to the table

304
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: he sacrificed. Yeah, yeah, like that the season?

305
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: You like it, Pash, Yeah, I mean it's not my

306
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: probably top fifty choice, but you know, if I'm hungry

307
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: and you give me in a redpa, sure you know

308
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 3: I'll take.

309
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: One a wout all right. The next one's a Cooper Duval.

310
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: I gotta go with Coop. I mean I've been following

311
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: Adam Duval for years now, and I know he was

312
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: hitting a ton of home runs in Cincinnati, went to

313
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: Atlanta and all that. But you can't just bring in

314
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: Adam Duval. And you asked me who do I go with?

315
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: And I say Adam Duval. No. I mean, Coop's paid

316
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: his dues with this team. He's a good player if

317
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: given the opportunity. I think he hits a bunch of

318
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: home runs. He does very well to stay healthy. So

319
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: right now, I go Coop. If you ask me in

320
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: a couple of months, maybe I go Adam Duval. But

321
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: right now, poopan or Jazz, I gotta go Jazz. And

322
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: the reason I go Jazz I just liked how jazz,

323
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: not that Ean isn't young. I just I like jazz

324
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: is energy. They wound up sending I believe it was

325
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 2: Zach Gallon, right, who's doing really good Michael Hill at

326
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: the time. He sent Gallon Arizona get back jazzism cool

327
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: name Isan last year. You know, he had every single

328
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: right to opt out, and he did. Then he wanted

329
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: to come back jazz. You know what, without saying anything more,

330
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: I go jazz.

331
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: All right. So final part of it is we're here

332
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: and I'm offering you you want some Ribbi, you want

333
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: some Rasco? Oh man?

334
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I hate to say. It depends

335
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: on not just give you a straight up answer. But

336
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a state guy. I'm a foodie. So

337
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: if you give me a prime ribbi, and I mean

338
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: it's a really really good ribby, you take the rib

339
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: every single day over the Carrasco. But if you're giving

340
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 2: me a Ribbi from let's say, like you know, some

341
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: chain steakhouse, and then you're giving me a nice Trasco

342
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: to it, I love that Tyrascal flavor. Because if a

343
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: Ribby isn't good, it's just it's not going to be

344
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 2: a good selection. So if I'm going to a really

345
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: nice place, I go Ribbi. If we're just like going

346
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: down the street or something, it's some small joint that's

347
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: like whatever, I go to Roscoe. I hope I didn't

348
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: screw that part up with your segment. But the booty

349
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: is that's tuned into you, like they'll they'll feel me

350
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 2: on that. And it's got to be medium. If you

351
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: go anything over medium, like, you might as well just

352
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: not even order a staate. Don't waste your money.

353
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: There, you go, there, you have it. That's that's facts, man,

354
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: that you got my midsuling over here.

355
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I go out to dinner with somebody and

356
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: they say, oh yeah, I want it well done. It's embarrassing,

357
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: you know, and then they asked for some a one

358
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: with it. I don't know how you are, but I'm

359
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: being straight up. I mean, even if it's you, it's

360
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't go to dinner with you. If that was

361
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: a case, it would be embarrassing. And you brought him up.

362
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: He orders his He orders a pilet, which has no

363
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: flavor at all. People just like filats because they're easy

364
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: to cut and there's no fat in the salt. But

365
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: if you're a steak person, you're not ordering a pileet.

366
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: So if you order a pillet, that's mistake number one.

367
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: And mistake number two is getting any type of steak

368
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: well done. He does both of that, so it's like,

369
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: come on, I mean, a play well done. He might

370
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: as well ask for some steak sauce on the side too,

371
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: just to hit the prospect of a horrendous order.

372
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: I would the move I would pull. I would be like,

373
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: I'll have what Andy's having exactly the same thing.

374
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: That would be a good move, man, It would be

375
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: a great move.

376
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: All right, you're bringing a choice of beer liquor what.

377
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: You have in liquor. I'm not a beer guy at all.

378
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: The only time I will have a beer, and this

379
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 2: is the absolute example, is if let's say I go

380
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: to a gentleman's club. I'll be nice. I go to

381
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: a gentleman's club and I'm gonna be there for like

382
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 2: an hour and a half or two hours, and I

383
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: don't really want to drink. I just want to look around.

384
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: I'll order a beer. Just baby, sit the beer, take

385
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 2: a couple of SIPs every now and then. Just always

386
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 2: have that beer in front of me. But if I'm

387
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: going out a nice night out and I want to

388
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: chill and lounge and you know, listen to some good music,

389
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: I always go vodka, vodka, soda. I prefer totos. I'll

390
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: take great goose of velveteer, but definitely liquor over beer.

391
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, bet see that.

392
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 2: Actually I broke that down better than your question about

393
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 2: first base and second base.

394
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: Actually, you going seafood or you going steaks. I know

395
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: you big into Joe's stone crab.

396
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: You give me the choice, I go seafood, but it's

397
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: got to be it's gotta be stone crabs or king

398
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: crab flaws. You know I'm not if you give me

399
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: a choice between nice steak and shrimp. I mean, come on, like,

400
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: I'm going, I'm going steak. But if you give me

401
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: Joe's stone crab, I'm going. Joe's absolutely going stone crabs

402
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: and South African lobsteru king crab claws. How do you

403
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 2: say no to that?

404
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: You say yes twice on a question for you? What

405
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: you bring into the barbecue.

406
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: The first thing that came to my head is chicken.

407
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: I know it's very simple and I should bring the States,

408
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: but it's just easy. I'll go run down to the

409
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: store real quick, pick up some chicken. Make sure it's

410
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: nice and tender and juicy, a little seasoning on it.

411
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: I could eat chicken all day long. I could eat

412
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: everything all day long. But the first thing that came

413
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: to my head. If you're inviting me to a barbecue,

414
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: like I'm sorry, I'm just not gonna I'm not going

415
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: to order in the States that I get from Chicago,

416
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: have them overnighted. I'm just going down the street picking

417
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: up some chicken and bringing it over. And I hope

418
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: you got the ruts.

419
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean we could delay the barbecuef you

420
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: gotta wait for the stakes. I mean, we wait for

421
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: the steaks.

422
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: I mean you asked me right there, what am I

423
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: bringing to the barbecue? If it's this afternoon, I'm just

424
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 2: going to grab chicken. If you give me a heads

425
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: up and you're like, hey, I'm playing in the barbecue

426
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: in two weeks from now, what can you bring to

427
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: make it really nice? Then I'm saying, okay, I'm gonna

428
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: overnight some prime States, maybe some Australian wife who put

429
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: that on the grill, and we're gonna be eating really well.

430
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: So it all depends if the barbecues this afternoon or

431
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: in two weeks. I'm kind of specific about everything, as

432
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: you can tell, but it does play a difference in

433
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: my selection.
