(00:24):
Some sad news. You probably saw this the other day.
Jacoby Jones, he passed away at the age of forty.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I did see that, yem.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah. He made his name mainly with the Ravens, where
he had a couple of touchdowns in Super Bowl forty
seven as the Ravens beat the forty nine Ers. Really
good kick returner. And remember the kick return he had
against the steal your Steelers. And that was when Mike
Tomlin acted like I didn't realize I was close to

(00:57):
the field and he made Jacoby cut back a little
bit and he got tackled that way. That was Jacoby
on the return. Really good return guy.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah. He also had a huge touchdown catch against Coop's
Broncos in the playoffs. Yeah. Sure, Cooper remembers, uh not
very fondly.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, and this.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Is that idiot safety who misplayed.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
That poor Raheem Moore. Yeah, that was the guy raheem Man.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
That was That was bad.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
That was really bad. And this is where my mind went.
I mean, obviously, Eddie, it's sad Jacoby Jones passed away
in his sleep. Thoughts and prayers obviously go out to
his friends, his loved ones, family members, all of that.
But where my mind goes in terms of like a discussion,
like a topic, is what you just brought up, right

(01:48):
there is Coop is a die hard Broncos fan. This
is a real bitter memory on CBS Black Poll stepping
up and throwing deep down.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
The far side.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Into the answer touchdown, Jacoby Jones.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
How does that happen in the Denver secondary right, yeah,
he question it can't have This is Dan Dierdorf doing
color for that game.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
How do you let the guys get deep raheem Moore
number twenty six, he's late come up.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
That's just amazing, amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, he was like he was like backpedaling for like
fifteen yards instead of just turning and running with him.
And yeah, that was a god is awful just it.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Was the Ravens had third and three from their own
thirty yard line with about forty three seconds to go,
and Raheem morg got beaten deep like that horrible. So
that's my question, Eddie, is like, for Coop, is that
the most bitter loss you've had as a sports fan

(02:56):
or is it something else? Like for you, Eddie, what
was your most bitter loss? If we have Lorraine in here, right,
we'll start with you, Coop, is that at the top
of the list. Sorry to bring up bineful memories, but
I'm honestly asking, is that what we just played? The
most bitter loss? Is there's something else?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's not even close. I mean, he's lost Super Bowls?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, I mean obviously the the Broncos, uh, you know,
lost to the Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Is worse than that.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
And there were and and it's it's kind of different
because I feel like, you know, losses hit you harder
when you're when you're a kid. Sure, and I remember
one time I was probably like I don't know, twelve
or something like that, and uh, the Broncos were, you know,
they're having a good season. And then there was a
couple it was a couple of seasons in a row.

(03:45):
I feel like that this happened. But they just they
ran into Peyton Manning and the Colts in the playoffs
and Peyton just whooped them.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, and I just remember I remember like crying.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
But uh but you said, like biggest sports and you're
not just talking about football.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Could be anything.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, I think the toughest loss for me in sports?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Can it be? Can it? Does that have be a
single game?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
It could be anything.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
It's the Lakers blowing the series against the Suns when
they went up like uh three, No, they were up.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I think they were up. Were they up three to one?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
It might be a different series I'm thinking about.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm talking.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm talking about the one where it was Kobe and
a bunch of scrubs and in yeah, he in he
like hits the crazy shot to force overtime and then
he hits the game winner in overtime. And we were
not supposed to like do anything against this team because
it was Steve Nash and the Suns and they were
just like the powerhouse of of the West, and we

(04:50):
were like that game put us up, and we're like
on top of the world, and then they.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Just just blew itches.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Is that where he did the jersey Polly remember, yes, yeah, yeah,
oh man, yeah, sure job.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Our own Victor Brick from as Jonas Knox would say,
the blowtorch on a five seventy long time Southern California
sports personality. Super unique guy. Uh he's in the media,
he runs the court. Kobe Bryant, Oh what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
I love that?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
I love it too. Yeah but yeah right, like he's
in the highlights.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Whearing this crazy get up, my god, the downtown Dojo.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
How about you, Eddie. The most painful, most bitter loss
you've experienced as a fan.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
It might very much surprise you that it comes from baseball,
which is, you know, I'm a huge hockey and football fan,
college and pro those are my two, you know, kind
of default sports. But NLCS Pirates, Braves Pirates are one
out away from the World Series, two outs in the

(06:10):
bottom of the ninth and you know a guy who's
probably driving a cab somewhere in Dominican Republic, Francisco Cabrera.
Oh wow, Yeah, it comes through with a single. And
then Sid Bream, who was a former pirate who literally
had a fake leg, scores from second base on Barry Bonds. Yeah,

(06:31):
it was. It was a close play, but I think
that was I don't know. There's something about that game
I can't remember. I should probably look it up, but
something about one of the few games in the postseason
in baseball that ended where it could have been the
final out or it was going to be the game

(06:51):
winning hit, you know what I mean, like like a
walk off, but it could have ended either way on
the pitch, you know what I'm saying. I like Joe
Carter had a walk off home but that wasn't It
wasn't the deciding game. You know, if he doesn't hit
that home run, they still play another game. But this
was a Game seven where literally on on the pitch
that decided it. If it's a strike, the game's over.

(07:11):
If it's a hit, the game's over. Well, you know
if the guy scores. But one of the few postseason
games ever in baseball that's ended in those circumstances.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
That's crazy. I didn't realize it was like it. So
you're saying if it was Mike Lavallier.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, the catcher was the catcher. If he tags him out,
then then it's over. It's over him.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Wow, So it was a walk off either way. It
was the end either.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Way, right right right, So obviously high drama to say
the least. And I remember I've said this before on
the air, but I broke a glass coffee table table top.
I didn't mean to do it, but in anger, I
punched the There was a phone. Yeah, and this was
before cell phones, how old I am. But and it

(07:57):
was like one of those phones where when you pick
it up, it's got like the buttons on the place
the thing that you put your put up to your
ear those phones. And it had like a really long
court so you could kind of walk around the room
with it. Anyway, it was sitting on this coffee table
and I punched it, and the phone then went through
the coffee table and it belonged to my college roommate

(08:19):
at the time, and I remember he looked at me like,
what are you doing? You're you're insane, which I can
understand in the moment that he did seem pretty crazy.
But no, that was that was probably the that's the
toughest loss that I uh that I that I remember.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
That's bitter, and especially because Bonds was so great on
those Pirates teams and it just didn't work out.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Right, and there's a I don't know if it's true
or not, and it's it sounds true, but who knows
that Andy Vance, like the Pirates center fielder had told
him move up uh in the outfield and Bonds flipped
him off.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Wow, I wonder if that's true. By the way, was
it Lavalier?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay? Spanky good mustache too? Little chubby fat catcher?

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (09:15):
How about you, Lorena? What's on your list? I'm hoping
she broke a phone or a table or something.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
You know, I've I've I feel bad to say this,
but I've never been emotional about a sport in my life.
Really has ever ruffled my feathers?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Okay, that's made me? Is there anything, though, like watching
The Bachelor or I don't know, is there ever something
that was that I don't know?

Speaker 7 (09:44):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I mean, look, we're still we're still learning about you.
I don't know what you're what you're passionate about, Lorena?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
It was I.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Know you love Disney, you love Disney. Was there ever
a Disney thing that made you, uh like physically angry?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
No?

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Nothing, I was trying to think of something that, like,
you know, made me mad. No, I'm chilling.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Wow, what about eating your potato ball? That make you furious?
Oh yeah, she would not shut up about that. Do
you know that story, Brian, No, so the I think
it was the first night, the very first night Lorena
joins the crew, and she had gone to this place Porto's, right,

(10:28):
famous place here with delicious food, and she had bought
some chicken balls.

Speaker 8 (10:33):
Oh my god, potato balls.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Potato balls. Sorry, there's no chicken. I don't know to
everything tastes like chicken.

Speaker 8 (10:40):
That was the worst part. He remember what he ate.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
But it was good, It was really good. I remember that.
So anyway, Lorena brought in these potato balls and she
left them just sitting in the break room on the
on the table in the kitchen, in the fridge.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
They get soggy if you put them in the fridge.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Okay, that's fine. I'm just so you got to understand, Brian,
And maybe you do. And Coop was on my side totally.
By the way, when people leave food.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
There, right, it's usual community, it's yes, whoever wants exactly.
It is a free game in the kitchen, right.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
And Lorena didn't know, so I don't blame her for
leaving it there. But I also don't blame me for
eating it, because I'm like, yes, this smells delicious.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
What is there?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So I ate one of her potato ball.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
I just want to reiterate how absolutely devastating this was,
because going into overnights is almost depressing, right, like you're tired,
you're groggy. And I was saving that potato ball till
about right now, till about one fifteen as my midway through.
You're gonna make it potato ball, right, So I go

(11:46):
out and I'm like, where's my potato ball? And I
look in the trash and I see the box in
the trash with no potato ball in it.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
So I thought it was coop because she did.

Speaker 8 (11:59):
But I my first guest.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
She accused me, and I said it was not me.
But but I almost ate it.

Speaker 8 (12:08):
He said that, he said, and I.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Said, didn't you?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I think my thought was like, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
I didn't think that you were going to notice it
because it was kind of like pushed up against the ya,
not out on the edge. Correct, But that doesn't matter, Lorena.
Anything on that table is free game. But I also
wanted to save it for later. I wasn't quite hungry
enough then, and I was like, oh, somebody left this year.

(12:40):
It's off to the side. Eddie's not going to notice it.
And yeah, Eddie noticed it, but so so when when
Lorena got all upset about it, I was like, I
did not eat it.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I almost ate it. But Eddie's not wrong for eating it.
And you agree, Brian, I.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Agree, like you said it well.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Because she was not having it. But she has learned
her lesson. She doesn't leave food there anymore.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
You know what, I'm really regretting bringing potato balls for
all of you right now.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
I think I'm just going to take him home.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
I'm disappointed the toaster is not here.

Speaker 9 (13:17):
What happened with someone took Maybe they're replacing it with
a new one. Here's here's my Here's my theory, Eddie.
My theory is that it was never a Fox Sports
Radio toast to begin with.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
It was. It's probably owned by Alex ty Shirt, who
brings in blenders and all kinds.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Of right and and he decided to take it back,
and we're not gonna They're never going to replace it.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
We're screwed, I know.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Is he still with us?

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Trails?

Speaker 1 (14:00):
I've been at f Sorr Is he still with us here? Fox?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, but he's is he is that?

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Like?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh, I don't know, is that a sign breaking news?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I don't know. I thought Coop was going to give
us some dirt on something he thought he was Is
he leaving or something? I don't know anything. I mean,
this person when it comes to work gossip, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
What I thought that was the case. But I could
be wrong. I could be confusing. Like there's literally I
mean and this makes me sound like an a hole,
But I'm not exaggerating here. I maybe no, like ten
percent of the people that work here, now.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's more than that's not true, that's totally I'm not
I'm not kidding. I don't know any of the editors.
I ask Ben all the time, what's the name of
the guy who's producing?

Speaker 4 (14:53):
I know, and it's that I'll I'll come in and
they'll be like, it's up Coop, Hey.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
The famous name man?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, Hey, but what's up?

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Man?

Speaker 4 (15:06):
And because they fill in for me sometimes and they'll
and they'll even text me, But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I've got the names.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
Like I know, I know that, Like I know there's
these guys that work here that have these names.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I love when you go, oh, is that who that is?
I didn't realize I have. I have figured out Shay. Yeah,
I know, I know Shane. I know Shane.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
And Quitting though that okay, I was confusing, and that
was confusing.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I learned his name. He's quitting. I wasted that.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
It was Patrick, that that was I said that, okay,
I was like, yeah, I was like, oh that's Patrick.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Wow, you guys.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
And there's only like ten employees here. It's really not hard.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Can I have a potato boll?

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Now?

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
You can?

Speaker 1 (15:59):
All right?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Only one? Eddie sounds like my mom.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know, she might lick those before you know what
I'm saying. I could see that.

Speaker 8 (16:12):
I poked each one individually.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Some vengeance going on right there? All right, we got
plenty of going on over here right around the corner. Militia,
feel free to check in. You're always welcome here. But
who's better than who? We got to compare notes as
far as that goes. He's Eddie Garcia, I'm Brian. No,

Speaker 2 (17:09):
We've all used different tools.

Speaker 8 (17:56):
I'm friendly and I'll live.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
From the tyrad dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. In
for Ben Mallard. It's Brian, No, thank you, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
So we got a couple of bitter defeats. Some of
the militia shared this on Twitter slash x x just
sounds weird to me.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
I don't know anyway, PJ the problem solver, He said,
as a lifelong Lions fan, I've had my fair share
my recent memory, but recent memory, I'd have to say
that sixty six yard field goal second half of the
NFC Championship game is right up there as well. I
think it has to be. I want to speak for

(18:34):
Lions fans, but that's gotta be way more bitter. Right,
you have a Super Bowl trip right there on the
road against the Niners and then Dan one eight hundred
gambler Campbell goes crazy with crazy risks. That's got to
be way worse than the sixty six yard field goal.

(18:54):
Right that sixty six they had hit the crossbar and
when but that's the regular season, right, Eddie. That can't
be worse than the NFC title game.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well, I mean, I wouldn't think so. But you know,
who am I to tell someone what's their biggest pain?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
You know, yeah, they maybe had ten K on that
regular season game. I don't know, Mike, Mike Man. He
checks in and says, uh, one of them was the
I seventy World Series where the Cardinals ended up losing
due to a blown call. At first, I had dog
that's right, that's right. And my dad, my dad is

(19:31):
from Alton, Illinois, just outside of Saint Louis, diehard Cardinal fan.
It's he's still so angry about that. We went this
is a handful of years ago, and he's probably about
ten years ago. We went to the Pro Football Hall
of Fame, and then we went to at the time,
a Cleveland Indians game. They're playing the Royals, and I

(19:53):
was just like, who you rooting for?

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Like we're Cardinal fans where they're watching the Royals and Cleveland.
And he looks at me, he goes, you know, b ever,
since eighty five, I just I cannot root for the
Royals because of that blown call. It was the worst,
Eddie guy was out by a foot and the Cardinals
had a one nothing lead in Game six of the

(20:18):
World Series and they would have clinched with that, but
the call at first goes Haywire. Royals go on to
win that game. It's one to nothing, Eddie. If you
get that first out, it's a good chance they don't
score a run. Terrible. That's why when people belly ache
about replay and how it takes too long and some
of the drawbacks, and there are drawbacks, don't get me wrong.

(20:41):
I think back to that World Series with the Cardinals
in Royals, and it's like, it's not all bad. Replay
isn't all bad if it's correcting obviously blown calls.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Which is which is what it was intended to do.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
But they've taken it now to the next level too.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, it's gone a little bit too far with some
of this stuff that they look cat But.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
I don't know if I spaced out. But did you
say yours, Brian?

Speaker 3 (21:04):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Oh, you're right.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
We went on the potato balls right there. No one
cares about me.

Speaker 8 (21:09):
That was a crazy sidebar guy.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Hey man, what's your most Hey Eddie?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Thanks for asking, man, I appreciate that. You know, it's
something that Coop said, the Bush Bush is up there
for sure. I was at that game, Eddie, and that
was a tough one.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Man.

Speaker 8 (21:29):
That was I'm sorry you say the mush Bush. Isn't
that like a starter at fancy?

Speaker 1 (21:37):
I love you, I love you.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
No, something that Coop said, Bush push, which also probably
you're like, what the hell, Yeah, Reggie Bush great player
at at USC. He pushed the USC quarterback into the
end zone, that's right, which was I think was supposed
to be illegal, right.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
It was illegal at the time. I've never gotten upset
about that, Eddie. They're allowed in another day fans that
do where technically it was a penalty. I don't know
why I've never been upset about that.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
I'm like, yeah, well because it's kind of like just
you know, it's something that you think that it should
be allowed, you know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, right, and because it's so ultra legal now you know,
look at the Eagles, Yeah what they do. Goodness, But
I never got upset about that. At the time. It
was just tough loss. They had it right. It was
third and twenty. Reggie Bush catches a screen pass. That's
up fourth to nine and then Dwayne Jared caught the

(22:33):
long pass down the side. It was just terrible, just awful.
But I think they never should have been in that
situation to begin with. That's how I always looked at it.
But something that Coop said, being a kid something just
it hits harder when you're a young kid. It was
Notre Dame. Also, they're just playing Stanford. I think Notre
Dame was number one at the time, and they had

(22:56):
a chance to score a touchdown in the final seconds.
Derek Brown really good, tied for them at the time,
just dropped a touchdown. Pass dropped it. It should have
been six, should have won. But I remember my mom
had this. You know, you ever have the squares, like
the pools where you get the numbers that match up
the final score and all that. Yeah, I remember hitting

(23:18):
I won, and I remember as a little kid throwing
the paper and crying like I don't even want the money.
How bad that law as look. But a lot of
them are gambling related. My goodness, the the bad beats
with sports betting, Oh man, I don't know what it is,
but it cuts deep, Eddie, It cuts.

Speaker 8 (23:41):
Deep because it hurts your heart. And your wallet.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
It does?

Speaker 5 (23:44):
It does?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, it hurts your pride?

Speaker 2 (23:48):
What do you do when that happens?

Speaker 8 (23:49):
Do you it like a tub of ice cream? And
watch your favorite movies?

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Like?

Speaker 2 (23:52):
How do you deal?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I normally things? Yes, I pull an Eddie oh from
the ninety two NLCS. You know, I just I slam things.
And then I'm like, why would I do that? That
doesn't make anything any better whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
I brought this up with Ben the other day because
there was a Cubs pitcher who broke his hand punched
in the dugout wall. Yeah, And I asked Ben what
was the angers he's ever been And he didn't really
have one, but he said and he's but he did
say that they were mostly gambling related. He said his
go to was throwing the remote.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
You know what's stupid, Eddie, And it's with your Steelers.
I put a decent amount of money on the Steelers
in Super Bowl forty three against the Cardinals, and I
just had the Steelers winning the game. I think they're
favored by six or six and a half, and I'm like,
I just don't see them losing. I don't know if
they're going to cover. So I put at the time

(24:45):
for me, like a decent amount of money on it.
And when Larry Fitzgerald caught the touchdown to take the lead.
I was watching the game at Chris haynes house. Like
Chris and I work together in Fresno. He's like mister
NBA the team and T sideline reporter. I was watching
at Chris Haynes's house, and I had this horrible habit, Eddie,

(25:06):
when something like that went wrong, I would just hit
myself in the forehead, and I made it what. The
Steelers ended up winning the game in dramatic fashion. You
were even there, Eddie, I remember.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
This here right, Yeah, but I was.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
So angry at the time. I just hit myself in
the forehead a couple of times. And Chris and family don't. Yeah,
Like Nikki was there, his wife, he's got four girls, Chris,
like his whole family is. I'm just like a maniac
hitting myself in the forehead because I thought my bet
was gonna lose and they ended up winning anyway. So

(25:43):
you freaked out for nothing, totally, absolutely nothing, But that
gives you a glimpse into what you're looking at over here.
You know, it can get crazy ugly very fast.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Talk about the All Star Game, Brian, the lineups had
been revealed, so if yeah, specifically tuning in for like
me to see Paul Skens take on the American League.
He will not face Aaron Judge unless someone gets on base.
So the first three hitters for the American League Stephen Kwan,

(26:22):
Gunner Henderson, and Juan Soto, with Aaron Judge hitting cleanup.
So hopefully somebody will get on base so we can
see Aaron Judge Paul Sken's showdown in the first inning
of the All Star Game.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yes, and Juan Soto. He said, uh, I'm gonna get
on base, right because Aaron Judge is He's definitely gonna
face Skemes. So he called his shot over there. He's like,
I don't know what that says about his faith in
Kwan or Gunner Henderson. It's like, it's gonna be all
up to me. You know, I'm gonna get on base

(26:56):
so we can get that matchup. We gotta get that matchup, right.
That'd be a crime if we don't see Scheens against
Aaron Judge.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, they I mean it's an All Star game, bat
judge third right, Yes, sure you're gonna happen. Yes, because
I don't know. I would assume. I hope Skeens will
pitch two innings, but I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I don't know if you will, so I'm not sure
he will matchup. Yeah, a lot of times just one
and done. I'd be could be, yeah, could be. All right,
he's Eddie Garcia and Brian Though. We're in for Big
Ben Mallor here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's get the
militia in here. Andrea is in Berkeley. Let's get to Andrea.
What's going on? You're on Fox Sports Radio. Andrea, how

(27:38):
you doing good?

Speaker 7 (27:39):
Brian?

Speaker 1 (27:39):
How are you good? Thanks for fine?

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Yeah, I know I enjoy your show. And whenever I
think of you, I have to see when the next
full moon is so you can hell at it. That's right,
and yeah we got it on the weekend. It's nice.
It's on Sunday, July twenty first. Okay, we've got the
full moon in Cancer Capricorn, and then the sun goes

(28:03):
into Leo the next day or so. So yeah, there
you go with that.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
A lion, I'm looking forward to that. Now, let me
ask you this, because the last foam moon we had, Andrea,
there was some crazy stuff that happened in baseball, Like
there were some insane comebacks, some real peculiar things. Is
there a greater chance on Sunday that could be the
case again?

Speaker 7 (28:30):
Yeah, I think full moons kind of bring things to
like a fever pitch. They intensify emotions, and you know,
they don't occur a vacuum. Mercury is not retrograde till
the beginning of August, which is nice August fifth through
the twenty fifth, so we got some time on that.
But full moon's definitely intensifying energies, especially if a person

(28:51):
happens to be born around a full moon and they
really feel it more intensely. And yeah, I was watching
the home run derby of you know, like Pete Alonzo
be growing up a Mets fan. He's December fourth, nineteen
ninety four, having his sat in Return of New Beginnings,
and he talks about mercury retrograde. You know, Brian, it's

(29:14):
interesting more and more athletes are kind of tuning into
planetary cycles and murcury being retrograde. I thought that was
pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
So Pete was saying that he talked about that.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
Yeah, not today, but in the past he's mentioned it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh wow, Okay, I didn't know he was a metro
grade guy over there, Pete.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
Oh I like that, you said metro grade.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yes, yes, I didn't know that first dat. Yeah, I
remember that with Pete, you know next time going.

Speaker 7 (29:40):
Forward, you know, Yeah, I have to remember that as well.
That's a good play on words.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, yeah for sure. Andrew. Well, hey, I appreciate you
checking in anything that we should know heading to the
second half of the baseball season based on it.

Speaker 7 (29:54):
Yeah, you know now that you mentioned it, Mercury will
be retrograde August fifth through the twenty fifth, So a
lot of people obviously vacation in August, and you know
it be the second half of the baseball season, so
you know, life goes on, but allow for some more
transportation delays. Technology staffoos double check all mechanical items. But

(30:18):
it can be fruitful for redoing, rethinking, reflecting. Okay, so
that'll be interesting. I always fit through the twenty fifth.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Okay, we'll keep that in mind, Andrea. But thanks for
checking in. Always good to hear from you.

Speaker 7 (30:31):
Yes, enjoy your show, Brian, take.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Good care, thank you, Yes you too. You know I
got me thinking Lorena with the potato ball. I wonder
if that was a retrograde type situation right there.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
You know, maybe it didn't taste retrograde.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Okay, well good, I'm glad it did not. All right.
Coming up next, We've got a double dose of anger
for you. You know what that's all about. He's Eddie Garcia,
I'm Brian know. We're in for Big Ben Mahler here

Speaker 1 (31:42):
No, well, thank you, Eddie. I promised a double dose
of anger here, right.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I think I know what one of them is.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Yes, Can I make a guess?

Speaker 8 (31:52):
Is it angry?

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Bill?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
It is anger?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
I guess yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
That's right. That's your first dose of double anger and
rebuild with this here on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on? Bill?

Speaker 5 (32:03):
How you doing? Gentlemen?

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Good?

Speaker 5 (32:05):
First thing, Eddie, I wanted to talk to you first.
If you stop at the stop at the sporting good store,
pick a one pound weight, a two pound weight, and
a three pound weight and bring it home and look
up pitching essentials, and your wife can start doing those
exercises that the pitchers do. And it was It doesn't

(32:25):
prepare a rotator cuff, but it'll stop the muscles from
getting tight, and over a period of time, if it's
done often enough, you can do them every day. Your
her shoulder will start feeling a lot better. You don't say,
and she'll she'll really like you for thinking about her.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Sounds like someone sounds like someone speaking from experience here.
Have you had a torn rotator cuff?

Speaker 5 (32:49):
No? But I don't know. You don't have to have
a torn one to do this, And I did this
for thirty years because I pitched exercises specifically for the
rotator cuff. And it'll help you know, just look up
online pitching essentials and uh, it'll give you all the
exercise about five exercises and you're really what you're really

(33:11):
like for thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I feel like I think you're helpful Bill instead of
angry Bill.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
That way it could be coming. We'll see, Okay, right.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
No, no, I'm done. I'm all done helpful now this thing.
I'm not a political person, Okay, I don't have to.
I don't have no idea about all this stuff. I
couldn't care less about all this stuff. But this assassination attempt, okay,
is gonna elect Trump in a heartbeat. He's an American
hero now, okay, And he's nobody's gonna beat him, even

(33:43):
if if he was shaky, And he's going to become
the next president of the United States because he's an
American hero. Now. It's just the way it's going to be.
And I think it's I think it's pretty cool because
who else is out there to become president Biden? Biden
in the way the bathroom is in the morning. So

(34:04):
that's my two thoughts for the day. Okay, and go
on and have your list of your show. And if
you're still looking for Ben, he's locking the doors and
rolling McDonald's. That's why. That's why he'll come around.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
I have a great day, Are you too, angry? Bill
Preci Yeah, okay, that wasn't as angry as I thought
it was possibly gonna be.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
It might be his least angry call ever.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 8 (34:32):
The whole opinions stated on this show are those.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Of yeah, he was like, here's what I think about, uh,
the the political climate right now, you know, and you
guys have a pleasant day. Not that angry, but that's okay.
We still heard from angry Bills to first dose at
least uh oh, the sighing of Coop or does this
mean Coop?

Speaker 3 (34:56):
No?

Speaker 2 (34:56):
I just you know, he's he's not wrong, probably not.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
But he also said it too. He was like, who
else is running against him? That's a big part of
it as well.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Well, yeah, it's just yeah, it's and I'm sure if
if anybody has listened to this show for any for
any long period of time, I guess the number of
years they know. I am no fan of Donald Trump
at all. Can't stand the guy. Okay, but I feel
like that was objectively like the most badass picture of

(35:32):
all time.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I'm with you on this. I hate him from the
USFL days, which is because he because he owned the
New Jersey Generals. Anyway, do you think he is smart
enough to understand in that moment when he almost was
killed that if I pumped my fist, this is gonna
be huge, like absolutely pretty amazing.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Right, see, that's that's just him. Well still that is him.
But then it also what you're saying, Eddie, And I
don't want to.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
I don't want to.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
I don't want to get way into this because I
am not that guy. I'm not the conspiracy theory guy.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
I'm not.

Speaker 8 (36:11):
But if you're getting shot at, why are you putting
your head up? Do you know about it?

Speaker 5 (36:15):
An idiot?

Speaker 4 (36:18):
But we've seen we've seen things before where like during
some other speech there was a sound or somebody said shooter,
and you know, securities rushed him off. I don't know
if it's the fact that he got shot and the adrenaline,
but but like you said, Eddie, having you know you're
on the ground, you're being covered, they're trying to USh

(36:38):
you out like they're saying the shooters down and to
just to be thinking like, oh, this is this is
a moment that's gonna be like really good and then
it's gonna win me the election. I should do this
right now. Because he said wait, wait, wait, wait wait,
that's what he's telling them. Wait, let me get my shoes.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
YEA said that.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
He said that first, but then when he got up,
he's like wait, wait wait, and then does the fist
pump and the crowd goes nuts and it's like it's
like wwe.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, that's just him, man, I think that's just him.
It's uh, he's he's defiant, you know, he's in that moment,
probably feels a little bit bulletproof, you know that just
and it was an amazing way to spin it. But
I I couldn't tell you what all was going through

(37:26):
his head in that moment, right, but as far as
an election goes, he played it the right way. This
is your second dose of anger, Edie. This would be
Raiders Wide Receiver Davante Adams. So this receipt show, Yeah
on Netflix, this is amazing. We'll have to go through
it pretty quickly. But he's not happy with Jimmy Garoppolo

(37:49):
not giving him a good ball.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Here, I got my life.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
I have never been hit this many times in my careers.
Every game I get.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Into the deep territory looking for Adams that he fished it.

Speaker 8 (38:04):
He was all alone.

Speaker 10 (38:07):
Now will be as open as the fante is going
to be in his life.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
But Daddy brou just do.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Man not happy with Jimmy g. We'll circle back to
that in a bit.
