Speaker 1: It's time to go into the schule Wyberg motion. All right.
Speaker 2: So this goes back to the Dirk Heroes celebrity baseball game.
Speaker 2: Dirk used to do this baseball game in Frisco where
Speaker 2: the Rough Riders play every every summer. And you know,
Speaker 2: Ben and Skin were on the teams. You played, you know,
Speaker 2: for years in this thing, and then I was lucky
Speaker 2: enough to get to you know, kind of either do
Speaker 2: PA or you know, do some play by play. But
Speaker 2: one of the things that would happen every year is
Speaker 2: DFW radio legend Jody Dean would play in the game
Speaker 2: and then refuse to go to the bench on a
Speaker 2: team full of athletes from town and people who had
Speaker 2: paid to be in the game, he would not leave
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 3: It was and it would to In his defense, it
Speaker 3: wasn't very clearly defined. It was kind of like, you know,
Speaker 3: if you were out there playing and you realize, oh,
Speaker 3: here's the guy who hadn't got in, you would just go, hey, man,
Speaker 3: take my spot. It was a lot of that. There
Speaker 3: wasn't anybody managing it, no, but it.
Speaker 4: Is to kt point, and I think Jody is the
Speaker 4: kind of guy that you can because he's a guy
Speaker 4: that recognizes he has an enormous ego.
Speaker 1: It's a joke. I've heard him joke about.
Speaker 4: It, and it's literally it's more of an awareness thing, like, hey, Jody,
Speaker 4: we do love you. But I think the people want
Speaker 4: to see his egal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go ahead.
Speaker 4: Let Zeke get on the Dallas Cowboy that everyone is
Speaker 4: here to see.
Speaker 2: He can't play every position, but one thing that would
Speaker 2: happen every year by fault, like clockwork, he would fall
Speaker 2: in the game, whether it's getting out of the batter's box,
Speaker 2: diving for a ball in right field.
Speaker 4: Because he's I mean, me and Been are ancient and
Speaker 4: he's older than us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and eventually we stopped playing in it because we're like, man,
Speaker 3: we're just gonna get hurt or make ourselves look like
Speaker 3: fools out here, right, But he kept playing even at
Speaker 3: our age.
Speaker 1: He just stayed out there.
Speaker 3: And to his credit, you know, he died for balls
Speaker 3: and stuff, but he he would come up and get hurt.
Speaker 4: I think he would not die for balls. I think
Speaker 4: he would fall for ball. We have three clips here
Speaker 4: and it's, uh, it's kind of interesting. I need you
Speaker 4: to I guess I explained a little bit like softball
Speaker 4: in this case, he's playing the picture position. Now you'd
Speaker 4: have a former MLI picture like Ryan Drees or Mike Bassett.
Speaker 4: Yeah it so I'm not out there throwing just to
Speaker 4: get the ball over the plate, but you have a
Speaker 4: guy playing the picture to field the position because the
Speaker 4: picture is not gonna field it.
Speaker 2: Your batter at this time is Jogi Ferrell, and he
Speaker 2: taps one up to the picture. Now I was lucky
Speaker 2: enough to be doing play by play in fact, or
Speaker 2: I was maybe I was doing color, but either way,
Speaker 2: it's the only thing I wanted to do is be
Speaker 2: on the mic when Jody Dean fell and it happens.
Speaker 1: This is like heaven for me.
Speaker 2: But this is one of three that I'm going to
Speaker 2: play for you.
Speaker 1: There's a bouncer in the mountain, could be trouble. It
Speaker 1: is like clockwork. It happens every year. A brand ball
Speaker 1: back to the.
Speaker 5: Picture and Jody Dean falls down and then blames it
Speaker 5: on the turf field is in perfect condition here in
Speaker 5: riscone chose in the history.
Speaker 2: Of It's so funny as you guys are roaming the
Speaker 2: field with headsets on too, and just go put the
Speaker 2: mic in front of Dirk's face or whatever. He just
Speaker 2: wants to kill Yogi, not Jody Dean. Now, before we
Speaker 2: get to Ben's interview with Jody Dean. After this, we
Speaker 2: have to go to Ben talking to former Raiders great
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame wide receiver Tim Brown about Jody Dean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the greatness of Tim Brown here.
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on Jody Dean and his likeliness
Speaker 5: to get injured. I'm worried about my likeliness to get
Speaker 5: injured right there?
Speaker 1: But I think Toby's kids, he's I think he's waiting
Speaker 1: for this. Are you serious? I mean, are you just
Speaker 1: being nutties?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: I think Jody he looks like he's a guy who's
Speaker 2: taking care of himself in what way.
Speaker 1: Specific to watching the run? Right there, wasn't. I got
Speaker 1: to change my mind. I'm glad that his hiding is over.
Speaker 1: He saw running.
Speaker 2: The best part that's been because in what way he himself.
Speaker 1: The guy who's taking care of himself? In what way
Speaker 1: he's specifically watching him run? Right there? Wasn't I got
Speaker 1: to change my mind. That is so good.
Speaker 3: But he's having a hard time run around, but he's
Speaker 3: staying out there every inning.
Speaker 1: Tim Brown looked the nicest guy ever, didn't want to say.
Speaker 2: Anything bad about him, then talked to him and to
Speaker 2: say something bad about it.
Speaker 1: In what way?
Speaker 4: It's such a great follow up quest?
Speaker 2: Right, So, after the fall where he got a little
Speaker 2: top heavy and went down on a slow ground ball,
Speaker 2: Ben catches up with Jody Dean.
Speaker 5: Guys, I'm here with Jody Dean who had a horrific
Speaker 5: injury on the infield. His pancreas fell out. The trainers
Speaker 5: were able to get back over to him. Cram that
Speaker 5: thing back in there, Jody, what happened? Well, they didn't
Speaker 5: choose the end.
Speaker 1: I would have preferred, but yes, they got it back in.
Speaker 5: He got the longest injury streak in the history of
Speaker 5: the Heroes game, nine consecutive games with an injury.
Speaker 1: How are you able to keep this going? Age?
Speaker 5: Mostly you hit fifty eight years old and thinks it's
Speaker 5: happened automatically.
Speaker 1: You just got to go with it. Let the game
Speaker 1: come to you all right, back to you, guys, They're good.
Speaker 1: I love Joe, fun dude.
Speaker 4: You can give him a hard time and he rolls
Speaker 4: with it, and he'll even make fun of his own ego.
Speaker 4: He's he's a great dude.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you when he fell down, because I think
Speaker 2: I was in a situation where I had to rotate innings.
Speaker 2: It was like the only inning that I had to
Speaker 2: like be on the air when it happened. When I
Speaker 2: was there, I was just like, there's euphoria for me.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have and I'm gonna fall in my old
Speaker 2: age because of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, I'm so impressed though, because I'm sitting here at
Speaker 4: fifty four. There is no way in hell I would
Speaker 4: get out on a field of anything right now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And he was out there at fifty eight, guy, and
Speaker 4: that was not softball, it was baseball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And laser beams out there all right there. It
Speaker 3: is the Wayback Machine. Really really good stuff. Rest in peace,
Speaker 3: Jody Dan almonell never forget the time he was alive.
Speaker 3: He's still alive. He just got word that he's still
Speaker 3: We love you, Jody. Congratulations in the literal sense. Coming
Speaker 3: up in just over three minutes of the today game.
Speaker 3: Then what's going on in Dallas. That's all next
