But yes, and it's evident in every way, 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.559 and we're gonna tell you all about it and why. 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.520 It's the superstars of the game. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.880 It's them doing everything right from the home run derby 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.520 to the swing off last night, which I have a 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.280 few issues and questions with, and we'll talk about it. 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.080 But a great time, a great game. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.440 Congratulations to the National League. And we have lots to 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.600 get to on today's show. On our show two to 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.720 four on the West Monday through Friday five to seven 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.200 on the East, we do something called Midweek Major. The 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.520 biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.920 We break them down. Are they mid week or major. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.800 We're gonna get to that. We'll try to give away some. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.000 But we got to talk about our experience yesterday, and 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.160 just by the sound of my voice, you could tell 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:10.200 we were raging and representing, and we were screaming for 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.640 some home runs because man, I barely got anything left. 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.560 It's not because we were partying and boozing and schmoozing. Well, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.000 schmoozing definitely, but we haven't really had time. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:21.680 To party or anything. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.600 This is strictly from just having fun and talking to 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.919 people at these experiences. Baseball is back in a big way, 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:30.639 but don't call it a comeback. 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:31.680 It's been here for years. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.000 But I just went on a little break for a 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.399 second where this sentiment was like Baseball's boring, Like Baseball's 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.720 not boring. But there was a minute where I mean, 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.320 there weren't the big stars. Can I give you the 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.840 eighties and nineties, and I just feel like, I mean, 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.120 it goes. It happens every sport. It happened for a 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.000 minute in the NBA where you go through a decade 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.160 where it's like we need something things in life. The 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:56.840 NBA's about to go through that right now. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.079 I think, Yeah, maybe you're right. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:03.079 In life, you're excited as a kid about the holidays, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.239 Christmas time, Easter time. Then the kids grow up and 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.880 there seems to be like a span or a cycle 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.880 of years where it's just not the same and the 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.480 magic's sort of gone. Yeah, and then those kids have 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.480 kids and then all of a sudden, the magic's back. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.680 Life goes through cycles, sports goes through cycles. The crop 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.079 of stars wasn't as exciting as it is right now. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.480 These young guys now have brought it back in a 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.360 big way and we're reaping all the benefits. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.280 Yeah, Christmas Eve is not the same when the youngest 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.880 person in the family is like your twenty year old cousin. Yeah, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.880 it's like, hey, we're running Uncle Frank's for Christmas Eve 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:37.600 and everything storing. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.040 Frank's drinking eggnog. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.720 No one's playing music, you know, he's Uncle bart is 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.440 sleeping on the lazy boys, Like what happened to the 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.480 magic of the Holidays. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.600 Then you snap your fingers and ten years later there's 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.360 like four or five little cousins or kids run around 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.840 and the holidays are back in baseball then that you know, 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.880 that's Otani, that's Judge, that's Lindor, that's polar Bear Pete, that's. 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.440 School Bawl, and you know, go on all day. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.360 There's so many big names and if you don't know, 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.400 you need to. And before we get into the swing off, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.600 do you want to talk about our experience real quick, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.280 because we're going to talk about the All Star Game. 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.599 Dude, we're going to talk about the swing off. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.760 But we experienced something yesterday, guys that blew our minds 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.800 Now We have to make it clear. Rich and I 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.640 have been working together for a long time, so we've 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.039 done some pretty cool things. We travel a lot, We've 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.440 gone to Super Bowls a bunch of them, and we 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.440 love it. We don't take it for granted. We love it. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.000 But we're big baseball fans. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.080 And we were asked to get to the ballpark early 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.559 to interview Zach Brown. Why Zach Brown because he's singing 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.120 the national anthem? And I have to be honest, I 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.240 was a little reluctant. I'm not the biggest country guy. 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.600 Can we know, much like most people listening, reluctant to 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.440 do things. Then once you do it, you're like, I'm 0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:59.920 glad I did it. It's like your buddy that does 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.080 I want to go out for a beer and you're like, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.040 come on, dude, come on with the one drink. And 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.240 then once you're out, you're like, oh, I'm glad I 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:07.680 came out. 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.599 Now I will say this and we'll get to that 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.320 story too. Zach Brown's the coolest dude, and Rich is 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:14.080 absolutely right. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.599 I was super pumped to talk to him. 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.920 I'm super pumped about his new album and to see 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.599 him live and everything. But I'm more of a rock guy, 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:22.800 and he told me his new album has a lot 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.479 of rock in it, so I'm even more excited. But 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.680 we're at the stadium early to catch up with Zach 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.520 and we have on field access with our media passes. 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.840 I'm not sure we completely knew what type of access 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:36.320 we had. 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.000 I don't know if we completely deserve this type of access. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.039 I'm not sure if we broke rules or not. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.560 But the point of the story is if you walk 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.640 around with authority or just sort of like stumble into 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.320 the places you're not supposed to be, you got to 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:51.040 make the most of it. 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.800 And Kavino and I that again, this is not a 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.080 well we've done cool things, but we've worked in music 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.240 and sports radio for a while, so we've interviewed most 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.120 people that we've looked up to, the big stars. But 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:08.480 when I tell you, yesterday, the childhood fanboy in both 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.200 of us came out because we walk on the field, 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.640 we're sitting in the dugout. I've never done that, and 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.480 I've never done that, And I was amaging because I 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:16.840 said that to my girlfriend. 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.320 When I got back, She's like, you've never done that before. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.520 Because we've been doing this for so long, I'm like no. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.360 Like, honey, I'm not a hot chick, all right, but 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.520 she's like my girlfriends and I could do that whenever 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:27.000 you want. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.080 Like no, but I guess you. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.720 Would assume because we've been doing radio and broadcasting and 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:32.919 TV for so long. 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.640 I'm like, no, I've never been. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.000 Plus, we keep baseball at a distance because we're such 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.680 big fans and you know, you want to remain a fan. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:48.360 And we were in the Braves dugout and we're sitting 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.880 there taking pictures. They say, you know, act like you've 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.200 been there before, but I don't really subscribe to that 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.800 because I never have been there before. And I'm like, Rich, 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.280 you gotta take a picture, man, you got to differ. 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.840 Is insane. I've never been in a big league. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:08.240 Dugout before, so you're not Immediately I'm sitting there taking 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.440 it in like Wow, this is their. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.840 Perspective, Look at this. This is awesome. I had. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.440 I had to go on the top step of the 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.080 dugout and just put my arms on the padding to 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:18.560 be like, all right, so this is what like we do. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:19.320 We all did it. 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.400 You can see a picture on our social media at 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.680 Covino and Rich because it was the coolest feeling. And 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.920 when you're sitting there looking out from the dugout, the 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.720 amount of press. I know, we might be staying the obvious, 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.000 but when you see it's a different story. The amount 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:39.320 of press there is ridiculous, is ridiculous, which just proves 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.720 how big these stars are, what they have to deal 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.880 with on the daily, and how immune they are to 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.560 the fanfare and the hustle and bustle of the press 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.640 and the media and everything else. It's insane. It's insanity, 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.920 but all cool goes out the window when you see 0:07:57.960 --> 0:07:59.160 your baseball heroes. 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:00.800 I don't know what it is about baseball. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.960 It might be football to you, but you know, we've 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.920 interviewed I guess more football stars. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.800 I feel like baseball is more, I don't know, more. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.960 Of a different scene where it's a private They're not 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.600 as media friendly or something. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:15.640 I don't know what it is. 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.640 But you're there and you're watching the big dumper take 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.960 batting practice. You're watching Aaron Judge right there. You can 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.680 go out there and shake their hands. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.920 And just for the record, Aaron Judge in person. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.800 Monster. It's even bigger than I thought it would be. Yeah, 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.280 it made me look like a little person. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.400 There's again if you want at Colvin on Retch. We 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.280 posted a little montage of our on field fun yesterday 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.439 and Aaron Judge is a beast. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:42.200 He makes cavino. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.280 Someone said it looks like you could put it a 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.000 cavino in Aaron Judge's back pocket. 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:47.840 Yeah, well guess what. You would look the same if 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:48.960 you were standing next to them. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.560 So it's insane how thrilled we were to be on 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.520 the field with the biggest stars. Want you to know 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.800 how exciting it is, because we're fans like anybody else, 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:04.199 fans first, but especially with baseball, because as we've described 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.200 when we talked about the home run derby and our 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:10.360 experience this week, it's probably your first love. Not to 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.840 get all romantic about the beautiful game of baseball. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:14.160 Keep your pants on. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.280 But as a little kid, you wanted to probably be 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.840 a baseball player.

That's all 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:10.600 I have to say. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.600 If you've ever worked in a world where you were 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.760 able to get backstage at a concert, that always underdelivers 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.960 because you're like, well, let's get backstage. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:18.760 You're like may. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.439 And it was like, you know, girls and drugs and craziness. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.760 But now if you go backstage at a concert, just 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.760 a bunch of roadies with ponytails and old smelly dudes 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.640 set up equipment.

People don't 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.200 just wing it and show up willy nilly like you do. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.320 You know, some people prepare and when you're part of 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.360 a big event like that, I'm sure he was well. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.240 Prepared for it. I think you overestimate. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.400 Look at the Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys, any award show. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.040 These actors are actors and celebrities get up there and 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.080 they're reading a prompter for the first time. It's crazy 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.600 how some people just don't have nerves. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:02.800 I I don't. I mean I. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.480 Nerves a good thing.

You hear that 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.520 all the time when it comes to sports. But it 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.399 was excitement in the air and it all led to 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.080 maybe the most exciting moment in All Star Game history. 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.520 So that was just the start of it, guys. That 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.280 was just the start of the day. And it was 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.159 a beautiful day. But it was rainy too for a 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.280 portion of the day, and people are like, oh, man, 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.359 apparently here in Atlanta it rains, then it's nice, just 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:36.679 like Florida. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.080 Yeah, well guess what, we're pretty close. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.359 Yeah, so it makes sense.

Cleared up and it 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.480 was a beautiful day, beautiful night. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.160 And I always find the intro of an All Star 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.760 Game the most exciting part. Maybe not this year, but 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.639 usually I love the player intros. 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.680 The bival of the hometown. 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.439 Gets booed, so you're gonna boo the Phillies and the 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.680 Mets and the Dodgers except Freddy who gets love here still. 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:08.919 But it was It was cool to see the player 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:14.240 intros and Welcome to Atlantis playing like everything about the 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.720 player intros I thought was cool and you said it yesterday. 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.639 The return of the jerseys, the return of everyone rocking 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:28.199 their regular uniform except the one Do you know the 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:29.320 one changed?
