WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:04.360 Dad's on deck. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.320 the following content is made up of humorous adult material and is intended for immature 3 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:36.000 not easily triggered audience. You have been warned. Hey, nom, yeah, 4 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:41.039 why did the melon jump into the lake? It wanted to become a 5 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:50.000 water melon. I am not going to rebuttal on this joke. We're just 6 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.759 going to skate on past that. And it's summertime and people like to enjoy 7 00:00:53.840 --> 00:01:00.159 watermelon during the summertime. And uh yeah, so good on that melon for 8 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.959 wanting to be a water melon. Melons are fun. I wonder if it'll 9 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:12.239 ever become part of the watermelon crawl. Maybe. You know what's bad is 10 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:17.840 that there was a couple Mothers Days ago, I want to say it was 11 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:23.840 three maybe four years ago. We went to a Mother's Day brunch and it 12 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.239 was me, my wife, my son, my two my in laws, 13 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.719 and my father in law's mom, right, and we're just having conversation and 14 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.480 somehow that song gets brought up. And this is how it's bad, because 15 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.680 like, I do know country. I'm not a fan of country, but 16 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.799 I do like nineties country, and because I like it now, because as 17 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.159 a kid. It was forced upon my ears. Right. It was like 18 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.879 being a kid in the Catholic church. You don't really like anal sex until 19 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.719 you get older, right. But what I do remember is we're having a 20 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.959 conversation. She was like, oh yeah, yeah, the Watermelon Crawl. 21 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.159 My mother in law was Watermelon Crawl Alan Jackson. I looked right at her. 22 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.360 I'm like, Alan Jackson didn't sing that song, and she goes, 23 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.840 yes, he did. I'm like, no, it was Tracy Bird. 24 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.840 And she looked right at me and she goes, no, he didn't. 25 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.439 And I just pull up my phone. I'm like, this bitch about to 26 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.039 be proven wrong right now, grabbed it and I flipped the phone and she 27 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.599 was like, huh, I thought it was Alan Jackson for the last thirty 28 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.479 years. I'm like, it's Tracy Bird. I'm like, that's part of 29 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.360 the problem with country and sometimes they all just sound the same. Oh shit. 30 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.840 I mean, Alan Jackson's got a pretty it's a distinct twang, but 31 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.039 but Tracy Bird falls a little bit to that twangy line a little bit. 32 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.319 But but yeah, it was it was comical that I got to school somebody 33 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.439 who is pure listening to the country doesn't listen to anything else. Yeah, 34 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.039 and and that was that was a fun time. So yeah, yeah, 35 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.759 speaking of country, I hope you guys had a great Fourth of July. 36 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.680 Yeah, happy Independence Day for all those of you that celebrate.

No, 52 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.879 you know, I was actually thinking since we recorded last episode that, 53 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.600 uh, there is something that's happening in Grayson's life. Grayson is he's getting 54 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:38.680 into video games like hard, but his level of knowledge in the game is 55 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.439 getting stronger. Okay, So, like like earlier today, he's like, 56 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.120 Dad, can I can I play some Can I play some video games? 57 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.920 Yeah? Sure, go ahead. So I'm laying in bed and just kind 58 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.040 of relaxing and sitting back, and I hear him from across the house. 59 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.800 That's a critical hit. I was like, what the fuck? And then 60 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.920 like a couple of seconds later, you take all that DPUs and I'm like, 61 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.079 my fucking kid, wait, this is he's getting into it right? 62 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.160 He was playing Pokemon. Hey whatever, Yeah, he was playing Pokemon. 63 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.319 He was into it. He was he was digging it and starts somewhere yeah. 64 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.600 And then uh, and then we were earlier, we were cooking some 65 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.240 we were doing some hard boiled eggs, cutting up some candlo and getting some 66 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.160 stuff ready for the trip, you know, and and uh, a song 67 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.920 came on the radio and he stops and he just kind of looks around like 68 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.000 with this like I know this song kind of look you know, he's like 69 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.639 that's from Rocket League. Scored five goals to that song. I was like 70 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:43.680 against who exhibition on rookie he goes myself practice mode. Yeah what but what 71 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.720 game? Do you remember? What game? Got you hooked on video games? 72 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:53.639 Yes? I do, like nostalgic feeling got you hooked? Yes, 73 00:05:54.839 --> 00:06:00.639 Okay, what was it? So? So when I the games? The 74 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.360 games there were multiple games that got me hooked were from the n E S. 75 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.519 I can't remember the exact baseball game, but there was a baseball game 76 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.560 on the NES where you you had to pick the individual team. It didn't 77 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.000 have the exact team name. It was just n y Y for New York 78 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:21.000 Yankees and for Boston it was BOS, but it didn't actually say the team's 79 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:27.160 names because they didn't have the rights to the team's names. And then Super 80 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.879 Mario Brothers, like so the original the original Super Mario Brothers n YEP, 81 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:38.600 Nintendo, and then from there I ended up having kind of a gap where 82 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.680 I didn't have anything. I didn't have the Super Nintendo when it first came 83 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.279 out, but then but once it was out for a little while, I 84 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.319 ended up playing Street Fighter fucking all day and all night. Street Fighter all 85 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.079 day and all night. That's good. Yeah, like what about you? 86 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:02.839 So definitely sports wise, I would go with NHL ninety four. Yeah, 87 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.319 it had the blue rink. Oh yeah, that was my jam dude, 88 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.839 the sound effects in that game. And I also had I believe it was 89 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:17.759 on the Sega Genesis and it was Joe Montana Football nineteen ninety four and it 90 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:24.000 was so shitty in comparison now, yeah, but that was that was Those 91 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.399 were like the sports games that got me hooked into sports. But then you 92 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:33.639 also had I would say Super Mario on the Super Nintendo. I did play 93 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.360 Mario on the Nintendo and I did like it, but I'd say the one 94 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.959 that really stands out like would have been Mario World on n sixty four. 95 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.560 But I did play a lot on Super Nintendo, so that that would be 96 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:53.160 on there. I never got There was a there was a period of time 97 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.000 where I did get into like the fighting stuff like Mortal Kombat. The sixty 98 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.800 four had a Mortal Kombat that was like the first time where it was like 99 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.759 prety different characters and you could go through levels and stuff like that. But 100 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.519 I never liked tech in and like I did play Street Fighter, I never 101 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.959 just got it wasn't my jam, you know I was. I loved sports 102 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.360 games for the longest time. Base Baseball would be one of my favorite. 103 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:28.160 I had two all time favorites. One of them was on PlayStation two I 104 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.200 think, no, maybe it was the original the OG PlayStation and it was 105 00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.480 MLB ninety nine PlayStation two, was it PlayStation two, and that had that 106 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.320 It had that space level, Yeah, and you'd go like you'd just pick 107 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.919 Ken Griffy and do a home run derbyond that thing and you'd be hitting thousand 108 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.279 yeah, you know, thousand foot bombs on that thing. Yes, uh 109 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.240 yeah, that MLB ninety nine. And the other one that I really really 110 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.559 enjoyed was on the original Xbox and it was a college baseball game. Really 111 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.159 it was really fucking fun. So there was the college basketball game that I 112 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.679 fucking loved and I would just absolutely dominate. I would pick I would pick 113 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.759 Georgia Tech. I would pick Georgia Tech, or I would pick Yukon and 114 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.039 I would just fucking dominate. I would change the bars. Remember when you 115 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.120 can change the slider bars. Yeah, I would change the slider bars and 116 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.200 I would literally just be throwing up the full court fucking shots, dude, 117 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.600 like literally just get the ball, gone, gone gone, and I would 118 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.600 just yeah, and I would just be I would be making threes. I 119 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.639 would end the game with like some like twenty some odd threes, like eighty 120 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.679 steals, like it'd be was fucking ridiculous. Yeah, that's ridiculous. Then. 121 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.360 But the game, you know, you know what sports game I actually 122 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:45.919 liked the most was Tiger Woods Golf. Oh, my favorite one was Tiger 123 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.639 Woods. I believe it was four. Yeah, And what was cool about 124 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.159 that on the Xbox was you could you could burn a CD into the Xbox, 125 00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:00.480 and on games, you could change the soundtracks to CDs that were on 126 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.159 your Xbox. And so I still remember I would play the ship out of 127 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.639 that game and I and the soundtrack that I had was one of the ragingst 128 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.919 Machine albums, okay, and I would would loop and I would just play 129 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.840 that game like crazy. That was a really really fun game, dude, 130 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.879 before it got too technical. Yeah, I mean you you could actually play 131 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.240 with the game. You can. I mean, granted, there were times 132 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.039 when I would get like fucking thirty forty under. But I mean, you 133 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.159 know that's because I knew how to play the game, you know, And 134 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.200 then and then it started getting extremely technical. It's where you had to like 135 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.519 maneuver the controller while the ball was moving. That was too much. I'm 136 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.440 like that I took the fun out of it for me, because I thought 137 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.720 about that the other night. I should buy a golf game and I'm like, 138 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.000 I don't feel like playing like that technicality and like I want the fun 139 00:10:52.679 --> 00:11:00.000 yep, I want the fun back. Yeah, but yeah, so m 140 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:05.679 M, what about as a so coming up? Actually, I believe right 141 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.519 after this episode drop, we just had the All Star Game happen, So 142 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.200 we don't know the outcome of that, right, we know, we know 143 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.720 it's the we know it's the All Star Game. What do you what are 144 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.679 your memories as a child with baseball? Well, I mean, so the 145 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.679 first game I ever went to was the Mets versus the Reds, and in 146 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.759 the third or fourth inning it was a fucking benches clearing brawl that ended the 147 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.200 game because somebody got hit in the head with a pitch and like it was 148 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:43.960 it. So memories, So baseball, Baseball is special for me. Because 149 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:52.159 I had I had multiple people in my family who were into baseball more than 150 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.399 other sports. Like my grandfather was a diehard Yankees fan, loved the Yankees. 151 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.320 I grew up watching guys like, you know, kind of Don Mattingly 152 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:09.159 towards the end, but Jeter, you know, even even a Rod you 153 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.279 know, I'll even give some shots out the guys like Manny Ramirez and David 154 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.320 Ortiz, right, you know, as a as a whole, Ivan Rodriguez, 155 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:24.799 Mike Piazza. You know, they're like there was a different time for 156 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:31.600 baseball where this is gonna sound kind of misogynistic, kind of sexist, but 157 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.600 men were men. Like when I was growing up watching basketball, guys guys, 158 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.639 guys played hard, Like there were there were guys that played hard in 159 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:45.399 basketball, and they were they were tough, they were defensive minded. But 160 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:52.440 you had this shift into the flare of a sport. Football was kind of 161 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:58.000 going the same route. Football was kind of changing into this flared sport, 162 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.799 whereas baseball, baseball was just fucking It just wasn't that. It wasn't about 163 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.559 the flair. It wasn't about until well, I mean until Mark McGuire and 164 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.919 Sammy Sosa and Barry Bond started doing steroids and shit like that. But even 165 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:18.320 then, I don't know, it was just different. So like with baseball, 166 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.559 I got to watch baseball a lot with my grandfather, with my dad, 167 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.879 with my cousins, with a couple uncles. Like so baseball was kind 168 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.519 of a constant thing, whereas football football was like a here and there thing. 169 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.799 Basketball was whenever I got to watch it, right, But baseball was 170 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.720 always on at someone's house consistently. That's true. Like there was always a 171 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.759 game on at someone's house, even if it wasn't a team that we liked, 172 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.840 even if it wasn't the Yankees of the Mets, it was always something. 173 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.759 There was always a game on. So to me, the second I 174 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.240 think about baseball, I think about, you know, nostalgia. I think 175 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.519 about good feelings, good times. I think about hearing my grandfather their cuss 176 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.519 at the you know, the TV for the first time. That was like 177 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:07.600 the first and only time I heard my grandfather cuss, you know. So 178 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:16.000 baseball to me is the epitome of summer spring and I don't know, just 179 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.679 good feelings. Yeah, no, that makes sense. I I try to 180 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.600 think back on it, like I do definitely remember the Braves and and their 181 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.159 big run that they had, like that ninety five ninety six Braves team, 182 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:35.399 Greg Maddox, I do the pitching, the pitching, the pitching lineup that 183 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.440 the Braves had. As much as I fucking hate the Braves, this is 184 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.080 part of why I hate the Braves. But the pitching lineup that the Braves 185 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.000 had at one point in time, why and that it was insane, fucking 186 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.919 insane. Yeah, I so, And there was people from that team. 187 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:56.120 Ironically enough, I remember Chip Jones. There was a post when you and 188 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.759 I started like barely like becoming like friends. Yes, and there some posts 189 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.919 and it was like like, if you like, you comment on here and 190 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.200 I'll pick a player for you. Yep. And I commented and the player 191 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.279 you picked for me was Chipper Jones. And ironically enough, he was my 192 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.799 favorite fucking player as a kid. And you would you had never known that 193 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.639 we had not had that conversation, but Chip, I loved Chipper Jones. 194 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:28.159 And but I think the first World Series that I like distinctly remember was I 195 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.399 believe it was in ninety seven when the Florida Marlins won it, okay for 196 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.120 the first time, I think, or was it earlier than that that, 197 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.759 Yeah, it was, it was somewhere in there. And I just remember 198 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.440 that because it was so different, like the team they they weren't supposed to 199 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.360 be the team to win it, and I distinctly remember that. And then 200 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:54.440 and then it transitioned into the home run race with Maguire and Sosa and and 201 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.039 I was really avid into baseball then, but growing up in Vegas, we 202 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.480 didn't have baseball. We had my League baseball, and I went to those 203 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.279 games a lot. And in high school I went to a lot of UNLV 204 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.840 baseball games, which were a fucking blast to go to college games because the 205 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.320 stadium was small, like the amount of seats that were there, and there 206 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.080 was always these like hecklers that were always there, and it was just it 207 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.039 was fun, like it was always a good time. It was probably super 208 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.840 fucking cheap for my dad and I how to go to but dude games. 209 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.480 It was probably like five bucks to go to a game like that. It's 210 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.639 another thing too, like you're right behind the fucking plate with baseball games. 211 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.440 There's a smell to them too, Like when you go to a baseball game, 212 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.879 there's a certain smell, a very distinct smell to the field, to 213 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.519 the game. You don't get that with hockey. Well you kind of get 214 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.840 that with hockey. You get the chill, you get the cool, crisp 215 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.360 air feel feel of hockey, right, but the smell, but the smell 216 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.399 is different, right, there's no there's no smell with football. You don't 217 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.399 get a smell like that with football. Do you get a smell with basketball? 218 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.600 Not really, No, I've never been a professional basketball. You get 219 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.559 a lot of squeaks. Yeah, yeah, that's true, you do. 220 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.960 That's true. We see the first basketball game I ever went to. We 221 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.440 sat behind Joe Garret Gioli, you know them. But yeah, okay, 222 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:10.799 yeah. It is fun though when you go when you first go to a 223 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:15.599 sports game live and you don't realize how quiet it is because you're used to 224 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.200 watching it on TV where it's constant talks, and then when you go there, 225 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.559 like, yeah, you have the crowd noise and stuff, but it's 226 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:30.000 this weird, serene quiet until something big happens and you're just like you're sitting 227 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.279 there kind of watching, like if it's hockey or baseball or football, and 228 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.440 it's just kind of quiet and until something happens and it's just it's kind of 229 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.519 comical. But yeah. And the other thing too, from like nostalgia from 230 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:48.119 being a kid, was like I always wanted to have after watching The Sandlot. 231 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.279 And I mean, like if you if you were to tell me, 232 00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.759 like name top five movies of all time, like right now on the fly, 233 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.079 the Sandlot would probably be in my top five. Yeah, crazy, 234 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.160 I still want to do the whole Fourth of July thing where we rent the 235 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.160 we rent the softball field or you know, and go and hang out and 236 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:08.440 have a barbecue while the fireworks are going off and we're sitting there playing. 237 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.799 Yeah, I'd still want to do it. Yeah. The only reason why 238 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.240 I haven't done it is because I can't get the fucking city to let me 239 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.079 have the fucking the park after night, right, because there's no one to 240 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.359 knock up the gates. Right, I've been fucking playing softball on these fields 241 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.160 for twenty years. You can't trust me to lock up the goddamn game by 242 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.039 now. Jesus Christ. But yeah, it's like I remember watching it and 243 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.319 growing up in a big city like Vegas and then, but it would have 244 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.880 been fun to be in like a smaller town and have that feel of like 245 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.599 a group of fucking degenerate guys that are this baseball team. You know, 246 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.839 it's it was just good times and and baseball is one of those weird things 247 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.079 that as I'm older, baseball is probably my least watch sport, But when 248 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.359 I was younger, it was probably one of my most watched sports. Like, 249 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.640 there was something about baseball that I always loved watching as a kid. 250 00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.559 But now as an adult, it can just get get pretty boring when you're 251 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.200 not live. Well that's starting to change now, it is. There's a 252 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.519 bunch of fucking controversy with every damn game that you freaking have. That's true. 253 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.279 What ends up happening is is with these pitch clocks and the runs now 254 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.039 are and fucking get outrageous. Dude. You're used to, you know, 255 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.240 baseball where it's like, you know, you know, three to one, 256 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:25.000 five to four. Now you're like fifteen to two. Somebody twenty four runs 257 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.240 the other day. Yeah, Yeah, that's fucking absurd. Yeah, I 258 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.559 saw one the other day. It was like one of the betting apps popped 259 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:36.839 up on my phone, Like the Dodgers in Colorado. Ninety percent of betters 260 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.720 today are betting on this game and out of the ninety percent of betters, 261 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.559 like seventy five percent of them are taking Dodgers' money line, and they were 262 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.759 minus two ten And I was like, oh cool, whatever, I just 263 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.400 so happened. The next day, I'm like, oh, what happened in 264 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.000 that game? They won? They won fifteen to two against the Rockies. 265 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.799 Yep, And You're just like, that's the fucking blowout. But what's weird 266 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.119 about that is like the next game it could be eleven to eleven to one 267 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.519 Rockies. Yeah. Like, it's just fucking baseball's wild with the rightest right 268 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.759 now? Yeah, right now. So let's let's do a commercial and then 269 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.880 we'll come back and talk a little bit of All Star Game. Okay, 270 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:19.480 does that sound Does that sound appealing to you? Yes? Hello, I'm 271 00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:25.559 here to tell you about a revolutionary new product called come don What exactly is 272 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.880 comed on? Well? Comed On is an ancient Indian herbal and well being 273 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:34.759 tonic, reformulated and tested for safety by NASA astronauts. I think it's safe 274 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:40.559 to say there's never been a better time to get comed on, But don't 275 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:42.920 take my word for it. Getting com done makes you smarter, it makes 276 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.319 you faster, It makes you lose weight makes you more aggressive. You know, 277 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.240 when I started getting comed on, I got a promotion right away. 278 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:56.039 People knew there was something different about me, Like Matt, what's different about 279 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:02.440 you? Bill? I just got comed onha my life. Once I got 280 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:07.119 comed on, I got not one boyfriend, like six boyfriends, you know, 281 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.839 because they knew how much I loved getting comed onn And the weird thing 282 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:17.720 is, like suddenly they started getting comed on. You can get your friends 283 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.240 comed on, you can get your wife comed on, you can get your 284 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.240 grandma comed on. What are you waiting for? Get out and get comed 285 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:36.000 on. I gotta get some of that comed on. Definitely definitely need something 286 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.559 that comes on. Screat for this again, rub it, rub it in, 287 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.680 just get that come down and get get it in your pores on your 288 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.160 face. Do you think baseball players get comed on? I think I think 289 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.519 there's two things. Two things. Baseball players live and die by pine tar 290 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.240 and come done. Oh absolutely, that's it. There's no other options, 291 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:03.519 no other options. I started using spray this year on my on my hands 292 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.319 and my gloves. Yeah yeah for softball. Yeah, game changer. It 293 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:17.799 sucks worse now so all Star game, right. I feel like in the 294 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.079 last couple of years. I used to love the fucking All Star Game, 295 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.119 the Home Run Derby and All Star Game. I think one of the problems 296 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.240 I have with it now is, if I'm right, the Home Run Derby 297 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.960 takes place on Monday, and it's usually starts at like fucking four pm Pacific 298 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.759 time. If not earlier, it's either three or four, right, And 299 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.960 then so it's like you're lucky to get home in my case, right, 300 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.440 if I'm done at five and I'm living I work forty minutes from home, 301 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.960 I'm lucky to see the last round. And it sucks because I felt like 302 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.799 the Home Run Derby was something to watch, like it's even still like watching 303 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.200 highlights now it just sucks that you miss it, right, Yeah, some 304 00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:02.359 of the rules I don't really like is my much nowadays is the old school 305 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.480 home run Derbys. But then the same thing. Then the next night's the 306 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.880 All Star Game on a fucking Tuesday, and it's like, why can't we 307 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.440 make why can't we make the Home Run Derby on a Friday? It should 308 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:17.279 be a weekend and yeah, and if it's if it's if it's being hosted 309 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:22.599 in the East Eastern time zone, let it start at nine because it's a 310 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:23.519 home run derby, it's only the last hour, hour and a half. 311 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.839 Who gives a shit about the celebrity softball game after it's played that earlier in 312 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.519 the day doesn't anymore. So the home run Derby lasts like two and a 313 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.240 half hours because, yeah, they drag it out because they end up doing 314 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.000 they end up doing a tournament style now correct instead. But that's what I'm 315 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.319 saying. Let's do it on a Friday night, or or let's do it 316 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:47.160 Saturday, because then the entire nation would you'd have I feel like you'd have 317 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.640 better ratings watching this thing if you so, if you had, if you 318 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:55.240 had an All Star weekend, like true all Star weekend where Friday you did 319 00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:00.200 the celebrity game. Right Saturday you come out and you do the all do 320 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.920 the home run derby, and then maybe do like this, like do something 321 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.960 like the foot like NFL does, where you do like skills drills yeah, 322 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.079 like like longest throw yeah, or like a like a catcher throw to second, 323 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.400 like mix in some skill competitions exactly right, quickest stolen base type thing 324 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:21.519 you know, hit hit where the batters have to hit signs or different targets, 325 00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:25.599 right, like a contact batterower. Do you do all of that mixed 326 00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:29.400 in with the home run derby on Saturday to cap it off as a whole 327 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.519 day, and then then you can even take Sunday as the break and have 328 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.799 the All Star Game on Monday. Yeah, you know what I mean, 329 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.160 and then give them their couple days off. Yeah, and then yeah, 330 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.960 so you could do like the last game of the regular of the first half 331 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.680 on Tuesday or Wednesday, then you do All Star weekend and then you resume 332 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:53.400 back the following Wednesday. Yeah, because I just think it'd be better. 333 00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:56.599 It'd be nice to do it on a weekend where you're actually able to fucking 334 00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.480 watch this thing, Like why is it on a fucking Yeah, well, 335 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.000 it still manages to get decent ratings. Another part of another part of the 336 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.759 problem that I have with the All Star Game now is that nobody wants to 337 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.160 fucking get hurt. So a lot of the people that play the All Star 338 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.680 Game, even though the All Star Game means something in baseball, whereas you 339 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.279 know, and that's the reason why they made it mean something. They made 340 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:25.000 it mean home field advantage, right, But there are still players that like 341 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.799 just they just don't want to get hurt, so like I'm gonna play one 342 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.720 fucking inning, I'm gonna play half a fucking inning. Whereas when I grew 343 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.680 up, Jeter was like, if you fucking pull me from this All Star 344 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.519 Game, I'm gonna beat your ass. Like we're not. We're out to 345 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.960 win, like we want to win this. The guys that were in the 346 00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.480 All Star Game wanted to win this because every guy in the All Star Game 347 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.039 thought they had a shot at the World Series. The game meant something to 348 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:53.200 them. It doesn't feel like it means as much to these players now. 349 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.079 It feels like it's more of just a media grab and an attention grab and 350 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.559 some extra cash. But I could be wrong. That's just the way I 351 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.720 feel. I agree with that. One of the things that I do like 352 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:08.240 about the integrity of baseball when you think of All Star games, so like 353 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:14.240 hockey, the way it used to be in hockey was East versus West, 354 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:21.480 and it was a traditional game, five on five, three periods, right, 355 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:26.200 and then now they've breaking it down where it's it's you have Metropolitan versus 356 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:33.400 Atlantic three verse three two ten minute periods. You have Pacific vers Central three, 357 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.880 verse three two ten minute periods. Winner of those two games plays each 358 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:52.519 other. Somebody's getting their ass whooped home three on three, right and ten 359 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.160 minutes. But you get a lot of high scoling because there's not you're not 360 00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.000 supposed to contact, you know, it's more of a flair thing. Basketball, 361 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.599 same thing, right, the one thing about baseball, Baseball doesn't change, 362 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.640 no, because it's still a baseball game. Right, So yeah, 363 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.359 your starting pitcher isn't gonna pitch for five, six, seven innings. Your 364 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.319 your first ace is only gonna pitch one or two. Yeah, they're gonna 365 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.960 bring the next guy in. Then they're gonna bring their middle relievers. So 366 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:19.359 it's a little different there. But one thing I like about the integrity of 367 00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:26.039 the game is that the scores are not outlandish in the All Star Game like 368 00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:32.640 for other sports, the scores are outlandish, but the current like last year 369 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.640 are I'm sorry, back in twenty eighteen, eight to six high scoring. 370 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.440 That's the highest, that's one of the highest one the year before that. 371 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:44.039 Two to one, yeah, right, four to two, six to three, 372 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.759 five to three, three nothing, eight nothing, five to one three 373 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.640 one four three four three five four three two, seven to five, Like 374 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:53.960 they're always close games. Yes, yeah, there's only been. Like you 375 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:59.160 said, it does, it means something because the winning division or the winning 376 00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.319 conference gets home field advantage for the World Series. Yep, So despite records, 377 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.319 it falls on. You can have a team that's a wild card team 378 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.680 playing the number one team and the number one team doesn't get home field unless 379 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.720 that conference won. Correct the All Star Game? Which is it keeps it 380 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:21.640 meaningful? It does, and it should it should. Yeah, I've always 381 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.519 said that about football. I've always said that about basketball and even hockey. 382 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:27.799 I think I think the All Star Game should mean something. I like that 383 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:33.759 Baseball does that. Does it suck for a team that has an amazing record 384 00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:41.079 and they're all in the and their conference lost the All Star Game? Sure, 385 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.400 but maybe you should have just fucking played a little harder in the All 386 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.279 Star Game or or it just you get to show us how good of a 387 00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:52.240 fucking team you are when you when when you don't get home field advantage, 388 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.839 you can still win the World Series. Yeah, that's a big deal. 389 00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:59.319 Yeah, I think the one that's the biggest fucking joke for an All Star 390 00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.279 Game though, by far, hands downs football. Oh yeah, it's gotten 391 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:04.839 to be just disgusting yeah, I haven't watched it. I haven't watched an 392 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.680 All star game in probably six Pro Bowl, maybe seven years for Pro Bowl. 393 00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.960 It's just it's gross. Yeah, dude. The offensive lineman just kind 394 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.880 of like fucking laugh at each other. Nobody makes contact at all else. 395 00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.920 And I remember, like when we were younger, the Pro Bowl was it 396 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.759 was time to shine, always time to shine. It was. It was 397 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.079 as nasty as a regular season game. I remember Edred Troy, Paulamaloose taking 398 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.720 some motherfuckers out. Yep. Yeah, I remember Curtis Martin running over for 399 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:41.400 yep, yeah, yeah, yep. What's uh? What's something that is? 400 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:49.839 What's one of your most memorable baseball moments, like me playing or just 401 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.119 like it happening? No, no, no professional baseball by far. It's 402 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.039 Randy Johnson blowing up that bird. Dude. You know what happened again this 403 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.319 year? Really Diamondbacks picture, Wow, blew up a bird. That's crazy. 404 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:07.000 The last time it happened the Diamondbacks on the World Series. Wow. 405 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:12.960 Yeah, I remember I was actually watching that game live on TV when that 406 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.519 shit happened, and it was it was crazy. It was absolutely crazy. 407 00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:23.119 And then and that that team, that team with with him and Kurt Shillings 408 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:30.559 and Greg Counsel and Gonzales and those guys, that that team was so underrated 409 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:34.240 at the beginning, Like everybody talked about Randy Johnson and Kurt shilling and how 410 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.839 they were, you know, great pitchers and everything, blah blah blah, 411 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:40.960 but the team as a whole team that was kind of womack. It was 412 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.079 kind of underrated. And then all of a sudden, it was just all 413 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.480 the pieces fucking came together for that team, and then they hit it on 414 00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:51.799 all strides. And then they went in against the Yankees and there and everybody's 415 00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.079 like, the Yankees are just too strong, there's too much power, there's 416 00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.319 too much there's too much knowledge, and it's it's not gonna work. And 417 00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:03.400 they fucking turned around and showed everybody they're like whatever, we don't care, 418 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.519 Like they ignored all of it. Yep, yeah, yep. And ironically, 419 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.200 so this year a bird was taken out by a pitcher for the Diamondbacks, 420 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.279 and that year the Diamondbacks won the World Series. This year it happened 421 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.160 again, and the Diamondbacks are in first place in their division. Wow. 422 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.599 Yeah, I couldn't tell you one. Almost for the diamond Backs right now, 423 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.359 they're almost at a six hundred winning percentage. Really five to ninety right 424 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.599 now. That's not bad. No, And they've played like the games already. 425 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.160 Yeah, Dodgers I think are two games behind them right now. Yeah. 426 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:34.240 That that's gonna be. Yeah, that's gonna be. The key is 427 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.880 where where the Dodgers come, you know, next month? Well, and 428 00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:41.799 I think the thing is you got to stay out of that wildcard game because 429 00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.519 that first Wildcard game it's it's one game playing, yes, and it's like 430 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.160 you can just have a bad game. You could be the better team, 431 00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.759 you just have a bad game. Yeah, Yeah, And that that is 432 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:55.279 one thing that is one thing about about baseball is like, you know, 433 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.680 you could have the yips, you know, you you could come out and 434 00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:01.880 just fucking be dry. It happens. It happens to everybody. You know. 435 00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:06.319 Hitters go through dry spells. Pitchers end up, you know, not 436 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.759 being able to hit their mark and they just get raked. Yep, you 437 00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.240 know, I don't know, I don't know if you saw, uh, 438 00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.599 speaking of crazy, So the College World Series just wrapped up this last weekend. 439 00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:20.319 Did you see that? Florida? Yeah, so Florida loses the first 440 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:22.319 game, I think in twelve innings, three to two. Yeah, they 441 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.400 win the second game against LSU. So LC wins the first game, second 442 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.920 game they win twenty four to four, Florida does, and then the final 443 00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:37.279 game they lose eighteen to four to LSU. Absolutely wild. Two fucking games. 444 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.680 Yeah, they those both those games. Well, I mean it's not 445 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.440 just both those games, but those both of those games I think allowed for 446 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:52.160 the talk to happen where they are starting to invest college baseball to see if 447 00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.640 the bats and balls are loaded for the season. Yeah, because they were 448 00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.720 like, it's this is too much and that's and that's college college baseball. 449 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.599 They use, they use bat they use aluminum bats correct, which they've dumbed 450 00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.960 down over the last couple of years because they used to be hotter than ship. 451 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.799 Yeah, because you used to watch college college World Series. You get 452 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:13.079 a lot of home runs, and there's been a couple of years in a 453 00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.359 row where it's just lackluster. It's actual baseball, it's not home runs. 454 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.559 But this year's was wild. Dingers yea, Dingers. We want to take 455 00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:27.839 one more commercial and then we can uh maybe talk a little bit of baseball 456 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:30.440 dynasty to wrap things up. Does that sound good to you? Sure? 457 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:43.960 All right, let's do it. Then there's a cry across the heartland for 458 00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:50.680 the days gone by, and a little court and and and they'll tell you 459 00:33:50.880 --> 00:34:07.599 why they got drum drugs. I recommend butt drugs for everybody. I can 460 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:12.599 always count on butt drugs. When I think drugs, I think butt drugs 461 00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:16.079 or all my health needs. I turned to butt drugs. You want hometown 462 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:22.440 service, can chat hot coffee and liquor chicken. You can tell Walmart, 463 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:31.079 CBS, and Walgreens exactly where to stick it. Drum. We love drugs. 464 00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:39.480 Drugs will let you down rug free parking in the rear drugs. I 465 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:51.920 love butt drugs. Hmm, come down and then butt drugs. It's a 466 00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:59.000 great combination. I get my coum don at butt drugs. Oh the great 467 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.000 love it. I love it. I love it. So yeah, let's 468 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.719 let's wrap up the baseball talk here. First off, predictions because we don't 469 00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:14.480 know what's gonna happen in the game because we're recording this like ten days early. 470 00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:22.440 Who's winning a N L or ao AO final score six to two, 471 00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:30.559 NL seven to three. Okay, that's it. That's what I'm going with 472 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:36.639 baseball dynasty. So we recently talked about sports dynasties. What are you baseball 473 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:42.079 dynasties. What stands out to you in baseball because I think the harder part 474 00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:51.880 about baseball dynasties is how long the baseball seasons are. Yeah, So the 475 00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:58.320 one thing about baseball dynasties is do you have such a grueling schedule? Like 476 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.599 it's a little bit like hockey, right, Like you have fucking game after 477 00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:07.719 game after game after game. And it's not that you it's not like you 478 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:09.039 don't fucking give it your all. I mean, yeah, sure, there's 479 00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:13.639 a couple of games sprinkled in there where I know some teams just kind of 480 00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.480 phone it in. But for the most for the most part, you're talking 481 00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:23.079 about a grueling, unrelenting, fucking schedule that goes from April to October. 482 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:30.119 That's a long schedule. It's a very very long schedule, you know, 483 00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:35.719 and for a team to consistently do well year after year after year, it's 484 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.880 it. It's tough, you know. And I think the one knock when 485 00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:44.320 it comes to baseball that that has been there for the longest time was you 486 00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:47.559 know, you could just buy your team there were teams that were out there 487 00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.199 with the salary cap issue, where like the Yankees, where you could just 488 00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:57.519 come in and just purchase whatever player you wanted and that just solidified your team. 489 00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.880 It's definitely gotten a lot harder for teams to do that now. Agree 490 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.599 it is a lot fair, it's a lot more even you know, players 491 00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:09.440 contracts are fucking absurd. But that's a different story. I would say modern 492 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:15.400 day, there's there's only two teams in the last ten years that really stand 493 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:20.480 out to me. Okay, maybe three. You could count San Francisco from 494 00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.480 like twenty ten to twenty fourteen, Yeah, so they would be three. 495 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:29.239 But the other two that stand out to me Houston Astros despite cheating allegations, 496 00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:32.719 they've been a top team for the last five six years. Yeah, and 497 00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:37.000 the Dodgers. The Dodgers have been They knocked on that door for a couple 498 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.719 of years in a row where they were hitting that NL championship but they couldn't 499 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:46.039 bust through, and then they finally bust through. But they have been a 500 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:52.199 pretty dominant team for the last six six to seven years for the most part 501 00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.440 they've been there. I mean, it's it's tough because the divisions. The 502 00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.480 way the divisions break up with baseball is a little tricky too, Right, 503 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:05.119 Well, when when you look up dynasties for baseball, a lot of them 504 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:09.079 are gonna come from old times because they didn't play as many games. There 505 00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:15.480 wasn't as many teams. But you do have like one of them that I 506 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:19.760 saw on a list that I was looking at was the was also the Dodgers 507 00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:24.800 from forty seven to sixty six. So there's a twenty year stretch, right, 508 00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:30.119 they made the World Series. They appeared in the World Series ten out 509 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.519 of those twenty years. Yeah, that's it's a lot. That's that's a 510 00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:37.639 lot. Yeah, that's a lot. I mean, you know, it's 511 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.599 tough because like the Yankees, the Yankees as a whole have they have more 512 00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.159 They have more fucking World Series than anyone. Correct, they have more World 513 00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:50.599 Series appearances than anyone. They have more Playoff appearances than anyone. You know, 514 00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.400 they're they're not they haven't been there as of as of late, but 515 00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:00.559 I mean they have, but they haven't. But as a whole as a 516 00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:07.199 team, they're consistently in the talk of where are they going to be this 517 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:08.239 year? What are they going to finish? This year, are they going 518 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:10.800 to break a record? What are you know? What players do they have 519 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.800 this year? They they constantly have some of the best talent in the league. 520 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:23.719 You know. But the the Yankees from what was it like two thousand 521 00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:28.840 and six to twenty eleven or nineteen ninety six to two thousand and one, 522 00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.440 two thousand and three, Yeah, ninety six to two thousand and three, 523 00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:37.920 that that fucking run was incredible and that roster, and that roster was it 524 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.719 was riddled with all stars from top to bottom, like guys that didn't even 525 00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:47.239 start. You know. The pitching staff was insane. You had like fucking 526 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:53.239 three cy young winners on it at any given time, like you had. 527 00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:58.599 They had the most dominant closer in MLB history. Oh by far, not 528 00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.079 even close. Yeah, they they won like three out of they won like 529 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:07.760 four out of five years. They won three straight and what was it in 530 00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:14.239 ninety eight to two thousand was their three peat? Had they and they lost 531 00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:16.639 in game seven in two thousand and one of the Diamondbacks. Had the dim 532 00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:21.840 Backs not one game seven, four in a row? Yeah, and in 533 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:25.199 this modern day baseball, im fucking possible. The fact he won three in 534 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.239 a row two in a row, but then three three in a row. 535 00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.400 They were the first team to do it since nineteen seventy four, which was 536 00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:37.599 the Oakland which was Oakland rate or Oakland A's But I mean, yeah, 537 00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:43.719 just you know that that team, that team's number one on my list, 538 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:49.840 just because they were so dominant. You had Jeter, you had Clemens, 539 00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:57.360 you had fucking George or Jorge Pasada, you had Mariano Rivera, Paul O'Neill, 540 00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:00.119 Yeah, Paul O'Neill like that. That team as a whole was just 541 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:05.559 dominant from top to bottom. Yea. You know, and in ninety eight 542 00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.519 they won one hundred and fourteen games, yep, one hundred and fourteen games 543 00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:13.000 they won, yeah, which and then they also swept in the World Series. 544 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.880 Yeah yeah, yeah that was that was like sweeping in the World Series. 545 00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:21.039 Yeah, it doesn't happen often, but it's it's happened enough in our 546 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:23.760 life that we've seen. Yeah, you've seen it a couple of times. 547 00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:29.119 Right. But then you have the fact you won one hundred and fourteen out 548 00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:34.599 of one hundred and sixty two city two something like that. That's wild. 549 00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You had the the seventies, you had the 550 00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:44.960 Reds. Yeah, the Reds seventies seventy nine. Yeah, that team was 551 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:46.760 good. That team, that team was just as good because that team was 552 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:52.039 dominant both on offense and defense. And that team was that you want to 553 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:58.039 talk about smash mount fucking baseball, Like, no joke that that team. 554 00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.199 If I bet you, that's one stat you could look up and see if 555 00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:07.920 that team had more collisions on base collisions than any other team, I bet 556 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.360 you, I bet you in there the seventies to seventy to seventy nine, 557 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.800 one of those Reds teams is probably closer to the earlier early seventies. One 558 00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:20.559 of those Reds teams had to have had like more at home collisions, more 559 00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.559 fucking collisions at second base, Like, I guarantee that's a stat somewhere that 560 00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.960 somebody knows. It's got to be. It has to be. Do you 561 00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:32.840 think that as a player, p ro should be in Yeah, absolutely, 562 00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:38.639 yeah, one hundred percent. I've always thought that he didn't even fucking bet 563 00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:42.880 on his own team. Well, I think the problem is as a coach. 564 00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.480 Doing it as a coach, and then you've shunned the guy his entire 565 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:50.679 life as a player, and he's I think he should have been put in. 566 00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:53.639 Yeah, one hundred percent. And if you look at if you look 567 00:42:53.679 --> 00:43:00.320 at all of the things that other people have done that have just been you 568 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:06.800 know, slid under the rug, his minuscule compared to it. Yeah, 569 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:12.400 So the only explanation for this has to be that there is something more to 570 00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:15.880 the story that no one knows still to this that's possible. There has to 571 00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:22.800 be. There's no fucking way that this can just still be on principle, 572 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:29.280 zero fucking chance, because there's too many other examples out there of people doing 573 00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:32.679 the same thing or worse and being let to continue to have the option to 574 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:37.039 get put in. Most of them aren't going to be put in, But 575 00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:40.280 I mean there's a couple, there's a couple that might. Yeah, fuck, 576 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:47.039 ray Lewis murdered somebody, so different sport, but whatever, you know, 577 00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:55.519 isn't it funny how ray Lewis ray Lewis allegedly allegedly murdered somebody, right, 578 00:43:55.719 --> 00:44:00.920 Yeah, ray Rice knocked his wife out and was gone, oh yeah, 579 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:05.599 never heard from again. Yeah, never heard from again. He hit 580 00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:09.119 his wife, knocked her out cold, not excusing the behavior. But then 581 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:15.960 ray Lewis comes back and wins would he win to too Super bowls? Yep, 582 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.719 one of I think he was fucking defensive MVP one of them. The 583 00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.599 first one, yeah, pretty sure, pretty sure, the one against the 584 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:27.840 Giants and Carrie Collins. Yeah, Carry Collins and Trent dilfer Is the two 585 00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:32.559 started quarterbacks at that Super Bowl. Jesus. Yeah. Anyway, who's your 586 00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:38.639 favorite baseball player of all time? Last question? Probably King Garvey Jr. 587 00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:44.079 It's tough because there's a couple like like I like Mike Piazza, Like, 588 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:47.000 I'm not gonna lie. Mike Piazza was a fucking stud. Ivan Rodriguez was 589 00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:50.840 a stud. I had a thing for catchers growing up. I don't know 590 00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:57.280 what it was. Yeah, you got something saying no, no, Yeah, 591 00:44:57.599 --> 00:44:59.639 I had a thing. I had a thing for catchers growing up. 592 00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:05.599 But but Griffy, Griffy was something different. Because when Griffy came along, 593 00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:10.920 he he was He was a good human, right he was. He was 594 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:15.920 kind hearted, he was honest. He was a kid that was coming up 595 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:20.760 trying to outlive his dad's shadow, you know. But he didn't he didn't 596 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:24.559 present himself that way. Like he didn't present himself as somebody who constantly had 597 00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:29.400 something to prove because his dad was so amazing. Yeah, he just wanted 598 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:34.199 to come play that yeah, and that and and everything about him from from 599 00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.079 the way he played in the outfield to the way he swung the bat at 600 00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.000 home plate like he was just so fluid. He was so fucking fluid. 601 00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.360 I also like John Rocker, the fucking animal. Yeah, he was such 602 00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:49.400 a wild card. For as much as I hate the Braves, but like 603 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:51.039 I said, though, I mean that goes back to it, like the 604 00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:53.440 Braves had a little mini mini dynasty at in the nineties they did, and 605 00:45:53.719 --> 00:46:00.599 but like, but John Rocker was such a fucking animal in a time where 606 00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:06.880 you you were you were starting to get that like whole like, well, 607 00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:08.320 you gotta be nice, you gotta be clean cut, you gotta wear a 608 00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:14.199 suit. John Rocker was like he was literally major League Baseball in real life. 609 00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:16.039 Yeah you know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah, so 610 00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:22.000 he was. He was fun to watch. And then another one for me 611 00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:24.599 that I really admired. I wouldn't say he was my favorite, but Cal 612 00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:30.360 Ripken Jr. His work ethic, yeah was off the fucking charts. Yeah. 613 00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:32.119 Jeter was another one, but yeah, yeah, but cal Ripken Jr. 614 00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:35.719 Was another one that I admired, but I would say as a whole, 615 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.199 King Griffy was my was my favorite. Yeah, I like that pick. 616 00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.480 I really liked King Griffy growing up. And uh, I would say 617 00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.360 Jeter would be in conversation. I really like no more Garcia Para too. 618 00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:50.960 Yeah, he was great, just like a dude, you know, like 619 00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:53.719 he was just an average guy. And that's what I liked about Jeter too, 620 00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:57.800 is like Jeter you could tell had to work his ass off to be 621 00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:01.199 as good as he was. Yeah, and he was just he was like 622 00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:06.639 when you to me, when you ask me New York Yankees, go Derek 623 00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.440 Jeter, it's Jeter. It's it. It's not Babe Ruth, No, 624 00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:13.360 it's Jeter. It's Jeter. Yeah, no offense, no offense to the 625 00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:15.519 babe, but it's Jeter. Yeah, it's it's definitely cheater. It's just 626 00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:20.639 that's just what it be. But another good one was each Row. Yeah, 627 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.280 not to kind of stick with the Seattle Mariners there, but each year 628 00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:28.280 was another great player who was just he was just fun to watch. Yeah, 629 00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:31.639 and he was so he was so polite and kind and like almost innocent. 630 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:35.480 Yeah you know what I mean. Yeah, but he was a badass. 631 00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:39.719 He was such a badass. He I would say each row outside of 632 00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:47.960 Bo Jackson probably had the best arm in baseball. Yeah that's that's a Yeah. 633 00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:52.039 Each year had a fucking cannon. And he was tiny. Yeah, 634 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:54.440 and he was super tiny. Yeah. Tony Wins another good Tony. I 635 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.679 admire Tony win is hitting yea more than anything. Yeah yeah, yeah, 636 00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:02.840 Tony gwen he he Yeah, that man, that man was a baseball player. 637 00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.920 Yeah. And it's funny because it like we caught him more towards the 638 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:09.480 end of his career, and he's like this fat, out of shape guy 639 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:12.719 who could still hit the ship out of the ball. Yeah, but when 640 00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.559 you look up his stats, you're just like, that guy was a baseball 641 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:19.599 player. Yeah. Yeah. It was wildly good. Yeah. Yeah. 642 00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:24.239 I wish I could have seen more of guys like Ricky Henderson, Ozzie Smith. 643 00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:29.119 I wish I could have seen more Pete Rose live. You know, 644 00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:37.559 I didn't get to see any of those guys live. But yeah, all 645 00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:42.599 right, well we're good. We could wrap it.

So don't we just found out my grandpa 663 00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:58.559 is addicted to viagra. Nobody's been taking it harder than Grandma lately. But 664 00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:02.199 also speaking of hard times, I was out to dinner with my nineteen year 665 00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:07.559 old girlfriend and being thirty eight, it had so many people shouting at me, 666 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:09.719 scolding me, and calling me a creep.
