Speaker 2 (01:16):
Coming up. Are you ready for this? The Hot Seat
with Andre in Massachusetts, Massachusetts. Man, I hate when we
have to do people, how we have to do people.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Around you know, I know and Andre you know, is
a teacher up there and nice guy, a pillar of
the community with the kids and all that. And he
can get the barbecue sauce too, Okay, just we just
let him know. And of course the last call as well,
Rob Gen it was a big story while I was
(01:46):
at graduation.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yesterday in Arizona State. Can you set the table.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
For that's right? I mean the couple touched on it
briefly yesterday. But as you mentioned, Rob Parker, Major League Baseball,
Rob Amfred dropped a surprising.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Hammer or lifted a hammer.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
However, we want to look at it on Pete Rose
because his lifetime ban has officially been lifted. Of course,
there are others, but the biggest name is Pete Rose.
According to Rob Manfred, the decision was made because he
decided that a lifetime band should only apply when someone
is alive. And how that Pete Rose no longer with us.
He has been reinstated by Major League Baseball and as
(02:26):
a result, will be eligible for the Pro Baseball Hall
of Fame in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Shoeless Joe Jackson. You know what year he died? No,
I don't know the year he died.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Nineteen fifty one. Now all of a sudden, did you
get my point?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, if he.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Was been dead for a long time, they want to say, hey,
we should take him.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Off the list.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
He's obviously not dead, so he shouldn't be, okay, But
this was about Pete Rose, and to make it so
that you weren't being special to him on other people
who have long passed. It doesn't It doesn't make any sense.
And I'm just gonna say this, I'm not buying into
Baseball's premise that you should lift a lifetime ban because
(03:18):
somebody died. If Pete Rose wasn't fit to be in
the Hall of Fame when he's alive, he shouldn't fit
to be in the Hall of Fame when he's dead.
It's just that simple. And all the people would you
guys stop. He was a great player. We all know
(03:40):
he was a great player. That's not even a quite
Charlie Hustle, the hit King. He was on a big
red machine, the last National League team that win back
to back.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Chair. I could go on and on and on about
his accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
He broke the cardinal rule of baseball, which still applies.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Even with legalize gambling. Around.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
As a player, you cannot bet on baseball. People go
all gambling now, and no, a player cannot. Here's the
other thing, Well, he was a manager and that shouldn't
count on him because of the player. Guess what, Peete
Rose was a player manager. He gambled when he was
a player manager, stopping. He was a player and a manager.
(04:25):
And here's the other thing. You're a gambler. So you're
gonna sit here and tell me all these people, Well,
pen Rod never made Red La Loo.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
He never bet against the Reds.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Really, Calvin, you're you're the You're Pete Rose, and your
your starter's been terrible his last two three starts.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You know he don't have it. I'm gonna go like,
oh I can't. This is obvious bet.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
This guy's gonna get lit up, but I'm not gonna better. Really,
that's the gamblers do. They go after short things if
you know this guy is terrible. The idea that throughout
all of this is Pete jeopardizing the integrity of the game.
Jeopardizing is Hall of Fame status.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You know this.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Because you've been in the big league clubhouse. The biggest
sign on the wall that talks about what gambling, and
what will happen to you if you're caught gambling on
the game. Stop trying to rewrite history or change things
(05:38):
when people die. If somebody was a bad person when
they were alive, guess what, they're a bad person when
they die.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You could still appreciate his talent.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The Hall of Fame should be for extraordinary people who
did extraordinary things in the sport and who follow the rules.
That's really what it should be. Pete Rose is to
blame for why he's in the situation that he was
in while he was alive, because he refused to come clean.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Does this country not embrace comeback stories? Pete?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
We caught you. I'm sorry, I apologize. I'm going to
gamblers anonymous. I'm gonna talk to kids and college kids
about the dangers of gambling.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Whatever. I'll do, whatever we need to do.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'll take my suspension, bring back, get myself together, and
I won't bet on baseball anymore. He couldn't do it.
That's why we're here. But for baseball to even open
up this box, what is a lifetime ban?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
If you lift it, it doesn't even make sense, like
it should never be lifted.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And I know he's dead, but he should not even
have that opportunity for them to put it on a
table for people to do the wrong thing, which I
believe could happen.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
There's there, there's so much. I mean, you you hit on,
you touched on all the right things. I think that
what makes this interesting for me. I went to they
did a great thing on the athletic and they interviewed
a bunch of older players, guys who were you know,
hall of famers from different areas fifty sixty, seventy eighty,
so on and so forth, and got their opinion. And
you would think that maybe because they know all of
(07:22):
them said I played against them, or I was a teammate,
or I was this former manager, and all of them said,
if we're going based off just the merit of your skill,
that's not a question. But I was actually shocked rob
how many of them were like nah, because of the
integrity game and watch this. One of them went on
to talk about how many of his own teammates were
upset with him to present day Johnny Bench.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Brock Rock, Who am I missing Brock?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
You know, I find it this They were saying that
they went and talked to them separately like yo, and
they were like man heed me.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He lied to me.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
We were ready to have his back, he didn't do it,
and then we were still trying to have his back.
He never showed any contrition, He never showed that he cared,
He never showed that he was willing to, you know,
make it wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
For Joe Morgan.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Joe Morgan was one. It was a handful of his
own teammates. I'll find it to get here. But who
were saying even they you would think they will be
the ones championing him, and they were upset. And that's
part of this to me, that's the big part is
that sometimes in life there's a moment when someone is
willing to bend the rule or change the rule, or
(08:35):
say we're going to make an exception, and for him
to go on for decades and not apologize, say I
didn't do it, then say I did it, but only
because I want to sell a book, but then only
going because I want to sign They talk about it
in his article writing on Baseball's you know when he
could do audig Our bet on baseball for money, I
bet on baseball and you're making a mockery of this.
(08:56):
So on the one end, if you wanted to like,
you can't tell the story of baseball without him.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
He's so good.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, he's forcing their hands because even if they wanted
to say, and somebody also talks about how they had
to sit down with Baseball the commission at the time
they say, look, and there was a moment where they
were saying, we're not gonna say we're gonna let you in,
but just work with It's kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And he just couldn't do it. Do you think, and
this is what people don't get. You think baseball doesn't
want it. It's all time hit leader, Pete Charlie Charlie Hustle.
He was a great player and to the great one
of the greatest teams in baseball history.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And you stop it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They don't win by not having Pete Rose in the
Hall of Fame. Now, Pete Rose, all of his accomplishments
are in the Hall of Fame, and it's not like.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
He's whiting and washed out of there.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But the sport doesn't gain anything by not having Pete
Rose in it.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Or you guess what makes this bad is that it's twofold.
The league is trying and I almost feel like they're
being petty. I said this yesterday when it broke. I said,
I feel like they're being petty in that he just
died a half for two, three months ago, whatever it was,
and they.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Immediately do this. To me, that's a spit.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
That was a slap in the face of like, you know,
we we literally waited till you died, shooting Joe Jackson,
you in fifty sixty, seventy eighty years, I'm about the
team fifty nineteen fifty one, the minute you died, Pete Rose,
that was a to me, is slapping the fay Bam,
we're gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We just waited.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Until you died to make this happen, because we could
have tried to do it last year, five years ago,
ten years ago. No, we gonna wait till you die.
The minute you did, let's make this happen. So to me,
that was a slap in the face to him saying
we tried. You had opportunities to make it right, make good,
you didn't, And so to me, I think you're just
better off letting me move on because you just and
(10:43):
out again. Reading this this article, so many former players
are torn, so many former managers are torn. They're like, man,
the guy to player, it's not even a question. He
was a man the best of no nobody. If it's
just on your play the village, right. But they're like, dude,
this is the game I love, this is the game
I played, and you you hurt the integrity. This other
guy saying, man, I just I don't want a guy
who never came out and it was forthright and was
(11:04):
contrite and tried to trow contrition and change the game.
And someone else said they had an opportunity to he
could have joined in. I guess the biggest thing that
really hurt him, they were saying, was that he didn't
get to participate in the game because they were one
of the smartest players they've ever seen, and he didn't
get to help grow the game with the young players
where you see other guys get to be still part
of the game. So even if I'm not in the
(11:25):
Hall of Fame, I was kicked out of the sport
as a whole. And they were saying that hurt him
maybe more because maybe, okay, fine, you already know I'm
a Hall of Famer, so maybe I'm not officially on
the list, but that I couldn't participate. I couldn't be
a part of a team. I couldn't teach guys, I
couldn't come you know, just that exactly. And I just
think it's just a terrible situation that there's so many
(11:47):
learning lessons for all of us. In our last point
I'll make and I keep bringing this up, is because
I look at a guy like Mike Vick who did
all the right things, went learned about himself.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
What's up with me? Why?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Why did I think this was okay? I know culturally
certain places do it, but it's not all right? What
has it about me that?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You know? What do I need to learn? Work with Peter.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
And by all accounts has been just an amazing guy,
the amazing figureing has grown as a human being, has
been contrite, showing contrition. And I think that's an example
of what could have been if Pete Rose were exercises
demons and now here we are we to me, they
slapped him in the face and said he's dead, all right, bam,
now you're eligible.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's it's it's a mockery of the whole thing. To me,
it really is, because because he was unfit alive and
now you're saying not that.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
You had some reflection and things changed, ideology change, the amnity.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Died Roight what change? What happened in.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Small invited Pete Rolls, which with a lifetime band wasn't
supposed to happen to the twenty fifteen All Star Game
in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They were doing that.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Year the Mount rushmore of every team, and they couldn't
do the Reds with our Pete Rolls like they they
even said, like we there's no way we could present
the four greatest players of the Cincinnati Reds and not
bring people. And since Pete is from Cincinnati, Cincinnati, bo
it's a great story, absolute story. Great Joe, you grew
(13:13):
up in Cincinnati. He become the greatest player I ever
played that, you know. I mean the documentary on him
was great. It came out with a couple of years back.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Great.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Absolutely, But uh in this case, I think baseball just
it didn't need to do this. I don't know what
the rush was. And then to throwaway and shoeless Joe
and other people to try to make it like, hey,
anybody else with some gambling mercybody anybody else who's been
dead for seventy years?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not I didn't like it, We'll take
of it. And now it really starts to be a conversation.
What are you gonna do with like steroid guys? Is
it the minute they're dead? Is there some type of
you're starting to soften up your stance a little bit? Now,
what does this mean for those who are indiced it
with steroids? Or whether that we literally know or we
(13:58):
kind of the cloud hangs around them.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
As you know, I have a vote, and if he's
eligily vote, I do have a vote.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well, yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I'm not voting for him, but we want to hear
from you. What would you do if you had a vote?
Should Pete Rose be voted into the Hall of Fame?
Should the writers vote them in? Would you vote him?

with everything going on, you got r Kelly play right now,
all right, Alex was.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Try to keep my job too, all right.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Pete Rose the Lifetime band lifted because well he's no
longer with us. Me and Rob just think his pointless
and it just was something that MLB didn't need to do.
And also on the other side of it, Pete Rose
and not do Pete Rose any justice for all the
way he acted all those decades after everything happened eight seven,
seven ninety nine, one Fox taking some phone calls on it.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Who we got jump in if you want Susan in Florida.
You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Susan?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Yes, I think he should never be admitted into the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Ever.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
He insulted the name of baseball. He went, don't know
why they're saying he was a thrutch. He was an
insult to the games, and the insulted the names of
Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson and luzern.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I hear you, Susan. A lot of people feel the
same way, even players who played with him. I'll talk
this athletic piece and they're just you think all the
old players will be in favor of him.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And that was not the case.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yep, thank you, Susan appreciated sere on in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Yeah, I'll go from another mother cousin, Kelly and my
brothers behind the boy. Look, Man, I understand his off
the field antics and his lack of remorse really don't
resonate with folks.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Man.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
They feel like they need to hold that against him,
But the man is passed like it's a lifetime ban.
He has passed. The only people they're punishing at this
point are the people of the great city of Cincinnati
and the p Rose family, because they're the only ones
that really get to enjoy it at this point. He
paid his time, just like anybody else who commits the crime.
He paid his time.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
He took that all the way to the great Sean.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
This is the only thing I'm gonna say to you, though,
is if this was real, what shoeless Joe Jackson died
in nineteen fifty one, why now this would have been done?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Because right now the greatest commissioner of the MLB of
all time is in charge. Manfrey is doing so many
things for the MLB to revolutionize the game on the field,
why not do it off the field. It's a little
bit much with all these committees, Rob, I'm keep it
real with you. They letting anybody in nowadays. But yeah,
another two years before he's up to vote, to even
be on the ballot with the with the legends, with
(18:05):
the with whatever committed the legends committed with. So he
still has a long way to go. And at the
end of the day, Rob, you and O and I
know y'all, voters hold all the power in the world.
So if they they don't want him in, he ain't in.
But he's eligible at this point. So whether it's this
generation or the next generation, let the people to Cincinnati,
let the Rose family celebrate this man's accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I hear you.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's just a strange You can't separate what he did
and that that's that's what I hear sean about the accomplishment.
All of his trophies and all of his paraphernalia and
all that stuff. It's all in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, Okay,
is Pete Rose way out in front of stuff the
stadium fac like he's been whitewashed out and nobody knows
who he is. I mean that is far from the
(18:47):
case of it. Tim, in Texas, you're in the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
What's up, Tim, Hey, I think we need to wait,
to be a little calm and measured about this. You
gotta let pete.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Why is that?
Speaker 9 (19:02):
Why?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Why? Why?
Speaker 10 (19:04):
Because because if I go to the Hall of Fame
and I say, hey, this is where all the greatest
baseball players in the world were, and they say, well,
you know kind of. I mean, it just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
To not have Why why have rules? Tim?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And and as somebody no, I'm serious, like seriously, uh,
you have rules?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And the number one Cardinals sen.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
In baseball is gambling because of what worrying about the
integrity of what I'm watching?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Is it real? Is it the w W E or
did this really happen?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Once you lose that and people start to do stuff
because the monetary things are involved, you can damage the sport.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Tim. That's why you have to hold it sacred.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
I understand that, but and I understand the reasons why
not to. But I think when we when we, when we,
you know, weigh them, you've got I mean, it's like
the Reds trying to make their mount rushmore and they're like,
but we can't do it because we got Pete Rose
can't be up there, so how can we do it?
Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I think the average between that, I get your point
is because that's that would be more geared towards what
he did to the team, where his MLB is a collective,
it's a sport, it's a whole, and part of that
hole is don't jeopardize the integrity of the game for
all of us.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And that's why some of his teammates are even against him.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah, and I still need to appreciate the call and
have you make great points.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Last point for me, Robert, I've said it over and over.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I just think in nineteen ninety one eighty nine, he
just been like, you know what fell on the sword.
He would have been out of Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Someone would have been already.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Baseball did not want to do this. They didn't, and
he just in the way he went out, do they
win by having an all time hiking out of the
Hall of Fame? They don't win?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
And he just all the stuff and we won't get
into all of it, but a lot of stuff he
was doing just did not help the cause. I'm gonna
just leave that at that. If you can read more
into about him life, Yeah, we read a little bit more, y'all.
It just didn't help. And I'm not saying it has
to be a hall of Hall of Saints. I'm not
saying that at all. But when you're already down bad,
you got a raccoon at the game where I.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Just missed it. Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But I know you would do it out of that
personal thing, Rob. Do you see it at the Mets game? Oh? Yeah,
look a big guy. Oh my guys. Dude, the dude
doesn't see he does. He's just chilling.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
He's like, dude, are you kidding that raccoon is that's
a dog? Yeah, that's not a dog.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
That's a raccoon. That's bigger than dog.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
He's saying size wise, like, yeah, raccoons have gotten Let
me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
If I was that guy and nothing, my shorts would
have been I'm not I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
We would be.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Here going, folks, we have sad news to report. You
would have had a heart attack. I saw you do
that when a bat was flying in here. I would
have jumped in my lap.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Well, I didn't want the bat might bite my neck.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
You jumped in my life. And then we see them
dead right in New Orleans. Remember that Rob, Rob ran
the rest of the way to the restaurant. I ain't
seen you move that fast in my life. Almost stepped
on it.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And then and then the next show, we've got the
breaking news. We've been joking about it for years. He
wasn't gonna make it six years. Of course he didn't.
Rob Parker has died due to a heart attack for raccoon,
of all the thing ways to go out, the bets
will still be paid because he did not take the.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Under that's right now. That much was serious. Raccoons, they
have gotten to the point they're tired of us. Don't
think out rabies and stuff. Yeah, they are over. They're
not scared of us.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We're gonna be a rat in New York wearing one
of Rob's undershirts.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's funny.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I've had so many standoff with raccoons where I'm banging
brooms and they don't even budge Alex.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'll be like, I love up the Marriott and that
rat has on my T shirt.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I know, Rod, thank you.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
No, I've had a couple run ins with raccoons. They're
really chill all eight. Oh, they just want some food.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
They're chilling, man, But they're getting too big and they're
getting too for him at a room as well.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, that wasn't a cute raccoon that we saw. That
was a man. See how big that thing was?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I think, man, listen, you know I live out in
the burns and they eating good and the people's trash
can they get left.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Over lamb chops.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
That's what I'm saying. Left hoistay they coming. They are
swollen there. The Oliver Miller of raccoon.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I would have.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Bear traps around my garbage can and I would leave
pork chops.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
In them just so I could bade them.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
And yeah, I call them bandit with his little mask on.
You better relax. Band It out here trying to rob me.
All right, There you have it. If you ever want
to get rob out of something, put some type of
road and you're good to go.
Speaker 2 (23:35):

Speaker 4 (24:01):
We invite one of our Fox Sports teammates getting into

Speaker 5 (24:04):

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Rob Parker Kelvin Washington, Tonight's victim. You hear him, damn
near as much as you hear these guys. Thanks for
taking my call, none other the man that met the
legend Andre in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Andre, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (24:23):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (24:24):
Glad to be?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You need to start a podcast, Kelvin. We should be
called it should be called thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
That good.
Speaker 11 (24:32):
I'll get on that, you know, do a little bit.
Got a little passion project called City Sports.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
All right, now, real quick, we need to know what
do you actually teach? Are you a gym teacher? Or
what do you teach?
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
English or math? What you tell us his history?
Speaker 11 (24:47):
History?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
History? Okay?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
He said, those are his two things, sports and history exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And you know what we teach here how to kick ass?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Andre's got three very high tasing in defen two on
one against the odd couple.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Let's get started. Take number one.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Andre says that Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinsons showed in
this last series he's not ready to compete against the
big boys on the biggest stages. You got thirty second, Andre,
state your case.
Speaker 11 (25:15):
I listened here. Okay, So my man Kenny Atkinson, who
built himself up coming from the New Jersey excuse me,
the Brooklyn Nets, all right, then Kyrie kg, Kyrie IRB
and Kevin Durant. They said they didn't need a coach,
so they booted him. He goes to Golden State, sits
on their bench, goes to the Clipper, sits on there.
But my point is he did his time to get
the opportunity. He got Coach of the Year in the NBA,
(25:38):
bringeses to the first round and then what happens He
goes head to head against Wick Carlin.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Up, Andre, stop it.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
There were injuries.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Donald McNabb was ill mc donald McNabb, Donald Donovan Mitchell
was heard. There was missing three starters in one game.
Give me the give me the tactician that uh Carlisle
did that alt Fox Atkinson. They can't give me one
This guy not only made a diet to help people
lose weight, but he also won the most games in
(26:10):
the Cavaliers history.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
One of the most games go ahead, one of the
most games.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
Rup how do you give up forty two points in
the dog Guns second quarter to the point where you're
down thirty points going into the second half. These games
were non competitive and even in the pivotal game, Donovan
Mitchell comes back, makes the game close, and then they
push it back. These games were not competitive. It's not
that you lose, it's how you lose. And they got
absolutely destroyed. My Pyson knocked out. That goes to coaching,
(26:39):
That goes to colchur culture. Kenny Atkinson, you gotta do better.
You're supposed to be ready to shine. Rick Carlisle quietly
undercover has kind of posted the Indiana Pacers close to
the NBA Final.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
All Right, if we're going by.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Your logic, then it's time to get rid of some
whole bunch of people, because you know, we've seen this
entire playoff run. We have seen a bunch of teams
up twenty up twenty five still lose. So did Joe
Mazzoula need to go because last time I checked. The
Celtics were up twenty points twice in the first couple
of games at home and they lost. Are we firing
Tyron lou No, he's a heck of a coach, Adamman.
(27:12):
The Nuggets have been up and lost a couple of
times in the fourth quarter. So what are we doing here?
Let him grow, let them get healthy, let them bosce
back next year.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Dre.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Let me just say, it's an honor to finally talk
to you on air. How you doing, my man?
Speaker 9 (27:25):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Now I have a question for you. Nobody's listening. What
is your favorite fast food place?
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Favorite fast food place? I gotta go with Wendy. Give
me a spice, he chun coach?
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Oh he won round one, Dre?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
What is this nineteen ninety seven? Yeah, Wendy was so
great when it was yellow, that was red chickens.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Sad. It used to be good negative point for the
eye couple for that all.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Right, here we go. What are my daughters?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Level them two with the hot seat Andrea matschuts against
the eye couple. Andre says that if the Boston Saltics
were going to advance to a game six years now,
to them break up. They're starting five out of fear
that second Apron taxes offseason. They will not nt win
another Chip for twenty seasons.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Tell us why, Andre, here we go?
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Bottom line? Listen here Celtics. We got a situation wickets
passing the button. We have new ownership coming in. I
must tell you that this group right here is special
and it cannot be broken up. You cannot duplicate the
chemistry and the talent that this squad has. Specifically, I
tell you right now, Drew Holliday is the X factor.
(28:29):
He's what makes this team different, distinctive and special. So
we need Drew leading the charge. We need Derek White
six to five can defend. Obviously, we have JB and
JT and Christy p at the center.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Please, I mean, come on, Andre, arbitrarily, would you pull
that out of your chicken sandwich? I mean twenty years
of that right away?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They're not going to win for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
As if you know what if they happened to pull
off for Gianna's trade or some situation that changes the
dynamics of that team and then allows him to still win.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
You can't sit here and say today that for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They wouldn't win for twenty years if they make a
different change or somebody else has added or subtracted to
the team.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
Rob I can most certainly say this because we went
through it before Boston Celtics. It was an unbelievable tragedy.
What happened with len By it in eighty six, unbelievable tragedy.
He was supposed to take the team forward into the
next generation. It didn't happen how long till the next championship.
We had to wait all the way to two thousand
and eight when we brought KG Holme. That is my
overarching point. When you don't when something is going good,
(29:36):
you don't mess with it when you have the chemistry
to continuity. So I know you guys gonna hurt you
in terms of salary, but you're going to be in
the finals every single year and nothing. You get your
money back here.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Yeah, man, let me tell you something. Brad Stevens is
a basketball gourlu right now. He is a savant. I
absolutely believe he knows what he's doing. So if he
would have breaked this team up, that he would make
the right moves and right decisions. Also, if Jason Tatum
is who you are claim he is. As long as
you got him, you should be all right. As long
as you got your best player, one of the best
(30:05):
top five verus ish in the league, you should be
all right. And not to mention, you could argue, after
it's all said and done, seven eight years or so,
they ain't.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Got the one ring. They got one ring. After all of.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
This, Dre, I have to say, coming in with fire facts,
dropping in history lessons, must be a teacher, and also
giving us some insight about Boston's deeps, even woes and upcomings.
I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. But then
I remembered I didn't really care about sports. So I
couple get that one?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yes, yes, yeah, and you pulled it out of your
spicy chicken sandwich and I love that.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Allright, we go. Used to be you don't hit the
same I hit it?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
So wait, what the.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Relax? Relax? Jeez, Louise, all right, last taking the night?
How to thinking that?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Andrey mass jews against the eye couple, here we go.
The teacher says he's a real teacher, Rob, not like
what you do. Introducing AI in the public education would
be a total disaster. Andre, you got thirty seconds explain yourself.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
Listen here, we're already staring our young people. Look, we
gotta get them involved. They have to get to the
cold media, words on the page. They spend so much
time with these flickering images and TikTok, the instagram, all
these things artificial and intelligence would be social media on steroids.
We can't have it. We must keep it at bay.
We have to allow our young people to be young
(31:33):
and mature in an appropriate fashion. You have to stay
out of the schools. We need old school pen paper,
words on a page, cold media all day. Stay away
from the hot media and the flickering images. We have
to keep AI away from the youth.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
You were the same guy didn't want them to implement
a calculator to schools, right, the same guy.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You gotta change with the times. And as bad of
a picture as you paid.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
College graduation is that an all time high in his country?
People are turning away from education. They're they're craving it anymore,
and they want to learn. You have to learn to
deal with the times, otherwise you become a dinosaur. Andre,
don't be a dinosaur. Don't be hr puffing stuff.
Speaker 11 (32:19):
Rob g the journalism professor, the one that always goes
back to the deep roots. Anybody can have a podcast,
anybody can have a blog, but we're talking about serious journalism.
This takes training, that takes time, and it takes individuals
doing it on their own. We gotta get this chat
GTP foolishness. We gotta get all of these artificial images.
It must stay at bay. We have to encourage our
(32:42):
young people to be independent, original, creative thinkers and not
rely on these flickering images and machines. Public education, buttress
yourself against AI stand straw old school all the paper.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
As my tag team partner said, you got calculators which
turn the computer, which turns the iPad, which turned the smartphones. Listen,
it's technology, and I get what you're saying, right, you
don't want to all become Wally like the Disney movie.
Here's the thing, though, the tooth paces out of the tube.
Ain't no going back. So what you want is how
about we need you teachers and scholastic folk to find
(33:16):
ways to safeguarded, to use this successfully, to make it
work for you, because it ain't going backwards. You're too
smart to know that, because you're a history major.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Wow, I never thought I'd see myself really thinking about
if I would want AI to totally be free upon
the masses. But then I drive here and notice people
can't even drive. I go to food places and notice
people don't even want to cook food. Nobody wants to
work anymore. And I did once upon a time think
the whole Wally thing would have been a detriment to society.
(33:49):
But then I keep thinking to myself, now, I think
we do that enough for ourselves, so why wouldn't we
want something to come help us? And then he did
school Rob with his own joke, so I have to
go none other than Dre for the win.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Oh it's rigged against us, Robin.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I'm starting to think that, you know what, Dre.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
That clam chowder that you're gonna have tonight and celebration
has rat hair in it. I just want you to know,
but we're celebrating.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
I certainly appreciate it.

Speaker 8 (34:22):
I appreciate it. Craizy thing.
Speaker 11 (34:24):

good point.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Okay, didn't he didn't he be lame to?
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Okay, well, I'm just saying he's the point that he
wouldn't consider it self lame, I know. But I'm just like,
just like, yo, a way to prove them wrong, that's cool,
you know, but to call your own fellow players lames like, that's.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
What, but that's why Lebron's not Like, that's why one
hundred and thirty players didn't vote for him for the
All Star Game?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Is an exhibition? Really? I just like you all you lay,
I'm like, uh, they asked they had to pick somebody.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
They're trying to participate in the survey, and they just
picked a guy who had a massive contract, who wasn't
putting up crazy, crazy numbers, and somebody had to be it,
you know what I mean, Like, somebody had to be.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
It's got to be someone good too. It can't be
that's the point. It has to be someone they.

Yeah, but the Minnesota's at home. Why you want to

Around you know, I know and Andre you know, is
a teacher up there and nice guy, a pillar of
the community with the kids and all that. And he
can get the barbecue sauce too, Okay, just we just
let him know. And of course the last call as well,
Rob Gen it was a big story while I was
(01:46):
at graduation.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yesterday in Arizona State. Can you set the table.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
For that's right? I mean the couple touched on it
briefly yesterday. But as you mentioned, Rob Parker, Major League Baseball,
Rob Amfred dropped a surprising.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Hammer or lifted a hammer.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
However, we want to look at it on Pete Rose
because his lifetime ban has officially been lifted. Of course,
there are others, but the biggest name is Pete Rose.
According to Rob Manfred, the decision was made because he
decided that a lifetime band should only apply when someone
is alive. And how that Pete Rose no longer with us.
He has been reinstated by Major League Baseball and as
(02:26):
a result, will be eligible for the Pro Baseball Hall
of Fame in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Shoeless Joe Jackson. You know what year he died? No,
I don't know the year he died.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Nineteen fifty one. Now all of a sudden, did you
get my point?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, if he.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Was been dead for a long time, they want to say, hey,
we should take him.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Off the list.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
He's obviously not dead, so he shouldn't be, okay, But
this was about Pete Rose, and to make it so
that you weren't being special to him on other people
who have long passed. It doesn't It doesn't make any sense.
And I'm just gonna say this, I'm not buying into
Baseball's premise that you should lift a lifetime ban because
(03:18):
somebody died. If Pete Rose wasn't fit to be in
the Hall of Fame when he's alive, he shouldn't fit
to be in the Hall of Fame when he's dead.
It's just that simple. And all the people would you
guys stop. He was a great player. We all know
(03:40):
he was a great player. That's not even a quite
Charlie Hustle, the hit King. He was on a big
red machine, the last National League team that win back
to back.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Chair. I could go on and on and on about
his accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
He broke the cardinal rule of baseball, which still applies.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Even with legalize gambling. Around.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
As a player, you cannot bet on baseball. People go
all gambling now, and no, a player cannot. Here's the
other thing, Well, he was a manager and that shouldn't
count on him because of the player. Guess what, Peete
Rose was a player manager. He gambled when he was
a player manager, stopping. He was a player and a manager.
(04:25):
And here's the other thing. You're a gambler. So you're
gonna sit here and tell me all these people, Well,
pen Rod never made Red La Loo.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
He never bet against the Reds.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Really, Calvin, you're you're the You're Pete Rose, and your
your starter's been terrible his last two three starts.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You know he don't have it. I'm gonna go like,
oh I can't. This is obvious bet.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
This guy's gonna get lit up, but I'm not gonna better. Really,
that's the gamblers do. They go after short things if
you know this guy is terrible. The idea that throughout
all of this is Pete jeopardizing the integrity of the game.
Jeopardizing is Hall of Fame status.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You know this.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Because you've been in the big league clubhouse. The biggest
sign on the wall that talks about what gambling, and
what will happen to you if you're caught gambling on
the game. Stop trying to rewrite history or change things
(05:38):
when people die. If somebody was a bad person when
they were alive, guess what, they're a bad person when
they die.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You could still appreciate his talent.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The Hall of Fame should be for extraordinary people who
did extraordinary things in the sport and who follow the rules.
That's really what it should be. Pete Rose is to
blame for why he's in the situation that he was
in while he was alive, because he refused to come clean.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Does this country not embrace comeback stories? Pete?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
We caught you. I'm sorry, I apologize. I'm going to
gamblers anonymous. I'm gonna talk to kids and college kids
about the dangers of gambling.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Whatever. I'll do, whatever we need to do.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'll take my suspension, bring back, get myself together, and
I won't bet on baseball anymore. He couldn't do it.
That's why we're here. But for baseball to even open
up this box, what is a lifetime ban?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
If you lift it, it doesn't even make sense, like
it should never be lifted.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And I know he's dead, but he should not even
have that opportunity for them to put it on a
table for people to do the wrong thing, which I
believe could happen.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
There's there, there's so much. I mean, you you hit on,
you touched on all the right things. I think that
what makes this interesting for me. I went to they
did a great thing on the athletic and they interviewed
a bunch of older players, guys who were you know,
hall of famers from different areas fifty sixty, seventy eighty,
so on and so forth, and got their opinion. And
you would think that maybe because they know all of
(07:22):
them said I played against them, or I was a teammate,
or I was this former manager, and all of them said,
if we're going based off just the merit of your skill,
that's not a question. But I was actually shocked rob
how many of them were like nah, because of the
integrity game and watch this. One of them went on
to talk about how many of his own teammates were
upset with him to present day Johnny Bench.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Brock Rock, Who am I missing Brock?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
You know, I find it this They were saying that
they went and talked to them separately like yo, and
they were like man heed me.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He lied to me.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
We were ready to have his back, he didn't do it,
and then we were still trying to have his back.
He never showed any contrition, He never showed that he cared,
He never showed that he was willing to, you know,
make it wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
For Joe Morgan.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Joe Morgan was one. It was a handful of his
own teammates. I'll find it to get here. But who
were saying even they you would think they will be
the ones championing him, and they were upset. And that's
part of this to me, that's the big part is
that sometimes in life there's a moment when someone is
willing to bend the rule or change the rule, or
(08:35):
say we're going to make an exception, and for him
to go on for decades and not apologize, say I
didn't do it, then say I did it, but only
because I want to sell a book, but then only
going because I want to sign They talk about it
in his article writing on Baseball's you know when he
could do audig Our bet on baseball for money, I
bet on baseball and you're making a mockery of this.
(08:56):
So on the one end, if you wanted to like,
you can't tell the story of baseball without him.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
He's so good.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, he's forcing their hands because even if they wanted
to say, and somebody also talks about how they had
to sit down with Baseball the commission at the time
they say, look, and there was a moment where they
were saying, we're not gonna say we're gonna let you in,
but just work with It's kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And he just couldn't do it. Do you think, and
this is what people don't get. You think baseball doesn't
want it. It's all time hit leader, Pete Charlie Charlie Hustle.
He was a great player and to the great one
of the greatest teams in baseball history.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And you stop it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They don't win by not having Pete Rose in the
Hall of Fame. Now, Pete Rose, all of his accomplishments
are in the Hall of Fame, and it's not like.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
He's whiting and washed out of there.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But the sport doesn't gain anything by not having Pete
Rose in it.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Or you guess what makes this bad is that it's twofold.
The league is trying and I almost feel like they're
being petty. I said this yesterday when it broke. I said,
I feel like they're being petty in that he just
died a half for two, three months ago, whatever it was,
and they.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Immediately do this. To me, that's a spit.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
That was a slap in the face of like, you know,
we we literally waited till you died, shooting Joe Jackson,
you in fifty sixty, seventy eighty years, I'm about the
team fifty nineteen fifty one, the minute you died, Pete Rose,
that was a to me, is slapping the fay Bam,
we're gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We just waited.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Until you died to make this happen, because we could
have tried to do it last year, five years ago,
ten years ago. No, we gonna wait till you die.
The minute you did, let's make this happen. So to me,
that was a slap in the face to him saying
we tried. You had opportunities to make it right, make good,
you didn't, And so to me, I think you're just
better off letting me move on because you just and
(10:43):
out again. Reading this this article, so many former players
are torn, so many former managers are torn. They're like, man,
the guy to player, it's not even a question. He
was a man the best of no nobody. If it's
just on your play the village, right. But they're like, dude,
this is the game I love, this is the game
I played, and you you hurt the integrity. This other
guy saying, man, I just I don't want a guy
who never came out and it was forthright and was
(11:04):
contrite and tried to trow contrition and change the game.
And someone else said they had an opportunity to he
could have joined in. I guess the biggest thing that
really hurt him, they were saying, was that he didn't
get to participate in the game because they were one
of the smartest players they've ever seen, and he didn't
get to help grow the game with the young players
where you see other guys get to be still part
of the game. So even if I'm not in the
(11:25):
Hall of Fame, I was kicked out of the sport
as a whole. And they were saying that hurt him
maybe more because maybe, okay, fine, you already know I'm
a Hall of Famer, so maybe I'm not officially on
the list, but that I couldn't participate. I couldn't be
a part of a team. I couldn't teach guys, I
couldn't come you know, just that exactly. And I just
think it's just a terrible situation that there's so many
(11:47):
learning lessons for all of us. In our last point
I'll make and I keep bringing this up, is because
I look at a guy like Mike Vick who did
all the right things, went learned about himself.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
What's up with me? Why?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Why did I think this was okay? I know culturally
certain places do it, but it's not all right? What
has it about me that?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You know? What do I need to learn? Work with Peter.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
And by all accounts has been just an amazing guy,
the amazing figureing has grown as a human being, has
been contrite, showing contrition. And I think that's an example
of what could have been if Pete Rose were exercises
demons and now here we are we to me, they
slapped him in the face and said he's dead, all right, bam,
now you're eligible.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's it's it's a mockery of the whole thing. To me,
it really is, because because he was unfit alive and
now you're saying not that.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
You had some reflection and things changed, ideology change, the amnity.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Died Roight what change? What happened in.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Small invited Pete Rolls, which with a lifetime band wasn't
supposed to happen to the twenty fifteen All Star Game
in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They were doing that.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Year the Mount rushmore of every team, and they couldn't
do the Reds with our Pete Rolls like they they
even said, like we there's no way we could present
the four greatest players of the Cincinnati Reds and not
bring people. And since Pete is from Cincinnati, Cincinnati, bo
it's a great story, absolute story. Great Joe, you grew
(13:13):
up in Cincinnati. He become the greatest player I ever
played that, you know. I mean the documentary on him
was great. It came out with a couple of years back.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Great.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Absolutely, But uh in this case, I think baseball just
it didn't need to do this. I don't know what
the rush was. And then to throwaway and shoeless Joe
and other people to try to make it like, hey,
anybody else with some gambling mercybody anybody else who's been
dead for seventy years?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not I didn't like it, We'll take
of it. And now it really starts to be a conversation.
What are you gonna do with like steroid guys? Is
it the minute they're dead? Is there some type of
you're starting to soften up your stance a little bit? Now,
what does this mean for those who are indiced it
with steroids? Or whether that we literally know or we
(13:58):
kind of the cloud hangs around them.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
As you know, I have a vote, and if he's
eligily vote, I do have a vote.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well, yeah, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I'm not voting for him, but we want to hear
from you. What would you do if you had a vote?
Should Pete Rose be voted into the Hall of Fame?
Should the writers vote them in? Would you vote him?

Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
It is The Odd Couple, Rob Parker Kelvin Washington on
a worship Wednesday. It's an interesting song choice right now
with everything going on, you got r Kelly play right now,
all right, Alex was.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Try to keep my job too, all right.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Pete Rose the Lifetime band lifted because well he's no
longer with us. Me and Rob just think his pointless
and it just was something that MLB didn't need to do.
And also on the other side of it, Pete Rose
and not do Pete Rose any justice for all the
way he acted all those decades after everything happened eight seven,
seven ninety nine, one Fox taking some phone calls on it.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Who we got jump in if you want Susan in Florida.
You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Susan?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Yes, I think he should never be admitted into the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Ever.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
He insulted the name of baseball. He went, don't know
why they're saying he was a thrutch. He was an
insult to the games, and the insulted the names of
Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson and luzern.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I hear you, Susan. A lot of people feel the
same way, even players who played with him. I'll talk
this athletic piece and they're just you think all the
old players will be in favor of him.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And that was not the case.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yep, thank you, Susan appreciated sere on in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Yeah, I'll go from another mother cousin, Kelly and my
brothers behind the boy. Look, Man, I understand his off
the field antics and his lack of remorse really don't
resonate with folks.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Man.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
They feel like they need to hold that against him,
But the man is passed like it's a lifetime ban.
He has passed. The only people they're punishing at this
point are the people of the great city of Cincinnati
and the p Rose family, because they're the only ones
that really get to enjoy it at this point. He
paid his time, just like anybody else who commits the crime.
He paid his time.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
He took that all the way to the great Sean.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
This is the only thing I'm gonna say to you, though,
is if this was real, what shoeless Joe Jackson died
in nineteen fifty one, why now this would have been done?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Because right now the greatest commissioner of the MLB of
all time is in charge. Manfrey is doing so many
things for the MLB to revolutionize the game on the field,
why not do it off the field. It's a little
bit much with all these committees, Rob, I'm keep it
real with you. They letting anybody in nowadays. But yeah,
another two years before he's up to vote, to even
be on the ballot with the with the legends, with
(18:05):
the with whatever committed the legends committed with. So he
still has a long way to go. And at the
end of the day, Rob, you and O and I
know y'all, voters hold all the power in the world.
So if they they don't want him in, he ain't in.
But he's eligible at this point. So whether it's this
generation or the next generation, let the people to Cincinnati,
let the Rose family celebrate this man's accomplishments.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I hear you.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's just a strange You can't separate what he did
and that that's that's what I hear sean about the accomplishment.
All of his trophies and all of his paraphernalia and
all that stuff. It's all in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, Okay,
is Pete Rose way out in front of stuff the
stadium fac like he's been whitewashed out and nobody knows
who he is. I mean that is far from the
(18:47):
case of it. Tim, in Texas, you're in the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
What's up, Tim, Hey, I think we need to wait,
to be a little calm and measured about this. You
gotta let pete.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Why is that?
Speaker 9 (19:02):
Why?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Why? Why?
Speaker 10 (19:04):
Because because if I go to the Hall of Fame
and I say, hey, this is where all the greatest
baseball players in the world were, and they say, well,
you know kind of. I mean, it just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
To not have Why why have rules? Tim?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
And and as somebody no, I'm serious, like seriously, uh,
you have rules?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And the number one Cardinals sen.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
In baseball is gambling because of what worrying about the
integrity of what I'm watching?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Is it real? Is it the w W E or
did this really happen?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Once you lose that and people start to do stuff
because the monetary things are involved, you can damage the sport.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Tim. That's why you have to hold it sacred.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
I understand that, but and I understand the reasons why
not to. But I think when we when we, when we,
you know, weigh them, you've got I mean, it's like
the Reds trying to make their mount rushmore and they're like,
but we can't do it because we got Pete Rose
can't be up there, so how can we do it?
Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I think the average between that, I get your point
is because that's that would be more geared towards what
he did to the team, where his MLB is a collective,
it's a sport, it's a whole, and part of that
hole is don't jeopardize the integrity of the game for
all of us.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And that's why some of his teammates are even against him.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah, and I still need to appreciate the call and
have you make great points.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Last point for me, Robert, I've said it over and over.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
I just think in nineteen ninety one eighty nine, he
just been like, you know what fell on the sword.
He would have been out of Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Someone would have been already.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Baseball did not want to do this. They didn't, and
he just in the way he went out, do they
win by having an all time hiking out of the
Hall of Fame? They don't win?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
And he just all the stuff and we won't get
into all of it, but a lot of stuff he
was doing just did not help the cause. I'm gonna
just leave that at that. If you can read more
into about him life, Yeah, we read a little bit more, y'all.
It just didn't help. And I'm not saying it has
to be a hall of Hall of Saints. I'm not
saying that at all. But when you're already down bad,
you got a raccoon at the game where I.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Just missed it. Did you see that?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But I know you would do it out of that
personal thing, Rob. Do you see it at the Mets game? Oh? Yeah,
look a big guy. Oh my guys. Dude, the dude
doesn't see he does. He's just chilling.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
He's like, dude, are you kidding that raccoon is that's
a dog? Yeah, that's not a dog.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
That's a raccoon. That's bigger than dog.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
He's saying size wise, like, yeah, raccoons have gotten Let
me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
If I was that guy and nothing, my shorts would
have been I'm not I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
We would be.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Here going, folks, we have sad news to report. You
would have had a heart attack. I saw you do
that when a bat was flying in here. I would
have jumped in my lap.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Well, I didn't want the bat might bite my neck.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
You jumped in my life. And then we see them
dead right in New Orleans. Remember that Rob, Rob ran
the rest of the way to the restaurant. I ain't
seen you move that fast in my life. Almost stepped
on it.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And then and then the next show, we've got the
breaking news. We've been joking about it for years. He
wasn't gonna make it six years. Of course he didn't.
Rob Parker has died due to a heart attack for raccoon,
of all the thing ways to go out, the bets
will still be paid because he did not take the.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Under that's right now. That much was serious. Raccoons, they
have gotten to the point they're tired of us. Don't
think out rabies and stuff. Yeah, they are over. They're
not scared of us.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We're gonna be a rat in New York wearing one
of Rob's undershirts.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's funny.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I've had so many standoff with raccoons where I'm banging
brooms and they don't even budge Alex.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'll be like, I love up the Marriott and that
rat has on my T shirt.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I know, Rod, thank you.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
No, I've had a couple run ins with raccoons. They're
really chill all eight. Oh, they just want some food.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
They're chilling, man, But they're getting too big and they're
getting too for him at a room as well.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, that wasn't a cute raccoon that we saw. That
was a man. See how big that thing was?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I think, man, listen, you know I live out in
the burns and they eating good and the people's trash
can they get left.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Over lamb chops.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
That's what I'm saying. Left hoistay they coming. They are
swollen there. The Oliver Miller of raccoon.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I would have.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Bear traps around my garbage can and I would leave
pork chops.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
In them just so I could bade them.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
And yeah, I call them bandit with his little mask on.
You better relax. Band It out here trying to rob me.
All right, There you have it. If you ever want
to get rob out of something, put some type of
road and you're good to go.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
That's all you want me to leave the house.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Damn sun.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
The current temperature, the odd couple are making it hot
in here, Damn hot. Time to sit your butt down
in cooking the hot seat.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's right, it is the hot seat segment.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
We invite one of our Fox Sports teammates getting into
the square circle with.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
The tag Tide Champions.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Rob Parker Kelvin Washington, Tonight's victim. You hear him, damn
near as much as you hear these guys. Thanks for
taking my call, none other the man that met the
legend Andre in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Andre, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (24:23):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (24:24):
Glad to be?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
You need to start a podcast, Kelvin. We should be
called it should be called thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
That good.
Speaker 11 (24:32):
I'll get on that, you know, do a little bit.
Got a little passion project called City Sports.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
All right, now, real quick, we need to know what
do you actually teach? Are you a gym teacher? Or
what do you teach?
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
English or math? What you tell us his history?
Speaker 11 (24:47):
History?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
History? Okay?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
He said, those are his two things, sports and history exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And you know what we teach here how to kick ass?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Andre's got three very high tasing in defen two on
one against the odd couple.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Let's get started. Take number one.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Andre says that Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinsons showed in
this last series he's not ready to compete against the
big boys on the biggest stages. You got thirty second, Andre,
state your case.
Speaker 11 (25:15):
I listened here. Okay, So my man Kenny Atkinson, who
built himself up coming from the New Jersey excuse me,
the Brooklyn Nets, all right, then Kyrie kg, Kyrie IRB
and Kevin Durant. They said they didn't need a coach,
so they booted him. He goes to Golden State, sits
on their bench, goes to the Clipper, sits on there.
But my point is he did his time to get
the opportunity. He got Coach of the Year in the NBA,
(25:38):
bringeses to the first round and then what happens He
goes head to head against Wick Carlin.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Up, Andre, stop it.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
There were injuries.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Donald McNabb was ill mc donald McNabb, Donald Donovan Mitchell
was heard. There was missing three starters in one game.
Give me the give me the tactician that uh Carlisle
did that alt Fox Atkinson. They can't give me one
This guy not only made a diet to help people
lose weight, but he also won the most games in
(26:10):
the Cavaliers history.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
One of the most games go ahead, one of the
most games.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
Rup how do you give up forty two points in
the dog Guns second quarter to the point where you're
down thirty points going into the second half. These games
were non competitive and even in the pivotal game, Donovan
Mitchell comes back, makes the game close, and then they
push it back. These games were not competitive. It's not
that you lose, it's how you lose. And they got
absolutely destroyed. My Pyson knocked out. That goes to coaching,
(26:39):
That goes to colchur culture. Kenny Atkinson, you gotta do better.
You're supposed to be ready to shine. Rick Carlisle quietly
undercover has kind of posted the Indiana Pacers close to
the NBA Final.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
All Right, if we're going by.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Your logic, then it's time to get rid of some
whole bunch of people, because you know, we've seen this
entire playoff run. We have seen a bunch of teams
up twenty up twenty five still lose. So did Joe
Mazzoula need to go because last time I checked. The
Celtics were up twenty points twice in the first couple
of games at home and they lost. Are we firing
Tyron lou No, he's a heck of a coach, Adamman.
(27:12):
The Nuggets have been up and lost a couple of
times in the fourth quarter. So what are we doing here?
Let him grow, let them get healthy, let them bosce
back next year.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Dre.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Let me just say, it's an honor to finally talk
to you on air. How you doing, my man?
Speaker 9 (27:25):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Now I have a question for you. Nobody's listening. What
is your favorite fast food place?
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Favorite fast food place? I gotta go with Wendy. Give
me a spice, he chun coach?
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Oh he won round one, Dre?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
What is this nineteen ninety seven? Yeah, Wendy was so
great when it was yellow, that was red chickens.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Sad. It used to be good negative point for the
eye couple for that all.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Right, here we go. What are my daughters?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Level them two with the hot seat Andrea matschuts against
the eye couple. Andre says that if the Boston Saltics
were going to advance to a game six years now,
to them break up. They're starting five out of fear
that second Apron taxes offseason. They will not nt win
another Chip for twenty seasons.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Tell us why, Andre, here we go?
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Bottom line? Listen here Celtics. We got a situation wickets
passing the button. We have new ownership coming in. I
must tell you that this group right here is special
and it cannot be broken up. You cannot duplicate the
chemistry and the talent that this squad has. Specifically, I
tell you right now, Drew Holliday is the X factor.
(28:29):
He's what makes this team different, distinctive and special. So
we need Drew leading the charge. We need Derek White
six to five can defend. Obviously, we have JB and
JT and Christy p at the center.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Please, I mean, come on, Andre, arbitrarily, would you pull
that out of your chicken sandwich? I mean twenty years
of that right away?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They're not going to win for twenty years.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
As if you know what if they happened to pull
off for Gianna's trade or some situation that changes the
dynamics of that team and then allows him to still win.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
You can't sit here and say today that for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They wouldn't win for twenty years if they make a
different change or somebody else has added or subtracted to
the team.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
Rob I can most certainly say this because we went
through it before Boston Celtics. It was an unbelievable tragedy.
What happened with len By it in eighty six, unbelievable tragedy.
He was supposed to take the team forward into the
next generation. It didn't happen how long till the next championship.
We had to wait all the way to two thousand
and eight when we brought KG Holme. That is my
overarching point. When you don't when something is going good,
(29:36):
you don't mess with it when you have the chemistry
to continuity. So I know you guys gonna hurt you
in terms of salary, but you're going to be in
the finals every single year and nothing. You get your
money back here.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Yeah, man, let me tell you something. Brad Stevens is
a basketball gourlu right now. He is a savant. I
absolutely believe he knows what he's doing. So if he
would have breaked this team up, that he would make
the right moves and right decisions. Also, if Jason Tatum
is who you are claim he is. As long as
you got him, you should be all right. As long
as you got your best player, one of the best
(30:05):
top five verus ish in the league, you should be
all right. And not to mention, you could argue, after
it's all said and done, seven eight years or so,
they ain't.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Got the one ring. They got one ring. After all of.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
This, Dre, I have to say, coming in with fire facts,
dropping in history lessons, must be a teacher, and also
giving us some insight about Boston's deeps, even woes and upcomings.
I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. But then
I remembered I didn't really care about sports. So I
couple get that one?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yes, yes, yeah, and you pulled it out of your
spicy chicken sandwich and I love that.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Allright, we go. Used to be you don't hit the
same I hit it?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
So wait, what the.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Relax? Relax? Jeez, Louise, all right, last taking the night?
How to thinking that?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Andrey mass jews against the eye couple, here we go.
The teacher says he's a real teacher, Rob, not like
what you do. Introducing AI in the public education would
be a total disaster. Andre, you got thirty seconds explain yourself.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
Listen here, we're already staring our young people. Look, we
gotta get them involved. They have to get to the
cold media, words on the page. They spend so much
time with these flickering images and TikTok, the instagram, all
these things artificial and intelligence would be social media on steroids.
We can't have it. We must keep it at bay.
We have to allow our young people to be young
(31:33):
and mature in an appropriate fashion. You have to stay
out of the schools. We need old school pen paper,
words on a page, cold media all day. Stay away
from the hot media and the flickering images. We have
to keep AI away from the youth.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
You were the same guy didn't want them to implement
a calculator to schools, right, the same guy.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You gotta change with the times. And as bad of
a picture as you paid.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
College graduation is that an all time high in his country?
People are turning away from education. They're they're craving it anymore,
and they want to learn. You have to learn to
deal with the times, otherwise you become a dinosaur. Andre,
don't be a dinosaur. Don't be hr puffing stuff.
Speaker 11 (32:19):
Rob g the journalism professor, the one that always goes
back to the deep roots. Anybody can have a podcast,
anybody can have a blog, but we're talking about serious journalism.
This takes training, that takes time, and it takes individuals
doing it on their own. We gotta get this chat
GTP foolishness. We gotta get all of these artificial images.
It must stay at bay. We have to encourage our
(32:42):
young people to be independent, original, creative thinkers and not
rely on these flickering images and machines. Public education, buttress
yourself against AI stand straw old school all the paper.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
As my tag team partner said, you got calculators which
turn the computer, which turns the iPad, which turned the smartphones. Listen,
it's technology, and I get what you're saying, right, you
don't want to all become Wally like the Disney movie.
Here's the thing, though, the tooth paces out of the tube.
Ain't no going back. So what you want is how
about we need you teachers and scholastic folk to find
(33:16):
ways to safeguarded, to use this successfully, to make it
work for you, because it ain't going backwards. You're too
smart to know that, because you're a history major.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Wow, I never thought I'd see myself really thinking about
if I would want AI to totally be free upon
the masses. But then I drive here and notice people
can't even drive. I go to food places and notice
people don't even want to cook food. Nobody wants to
work anymore. And I did once upon a time think
the whole Wally thing would have been a detriment to society.
(33:49):
But then I keep thinking to myself, now, I think
we do that enough for ourselves, so why wouldn't we
want something to come help us? And then he did
school Rob with his own joke, so I have to
go none other than Dre for the win.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Oh it's rigged against us, Robin.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I'm starting to think that, you know what, Dre.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
That clam chowder that you're gonna have tonight and celebration
has rat hair in it. I just want you to know,
but we're celebrating.
Speaker 9 (34:19):

Speaker 11 (34:24):
Okay, claim we'right here or not meeting on the clampshowder tonight.

The Pro off the Week goes to pass guard Tyrese
Hurler Burton, the NBA's most overrated player, has now led
the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Final and back to
back seasons. So again, congrats to Tyrese Haliburton for being
our Express Pro of the Week. Shout out to him
for that. He's got Lebron out there tweeting. Boy, Lebron
be cracking me up. Like when he gets in these
(36:07):
and he's like, all you lames who just don't have
to be lame, like they just they had to pick
somebody who was overrated, you.
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Like if seriously, right, like if I have to pick somebody,
I think it's Halliburton, likeme, But.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
So was he lame when he said that Bronni was
better than half of the league, right, right, that's a
good point.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Okay, didn't he didn't he be lame to?
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Okay, well, I'm just saying he's the point that he
wouldn't consider it self lame, I know. But I'm just like,
just like, yo, a way to prove them wrong, that's cool,
you know, but to call your own fellow players lames like, that's.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
What, but that's why Lebron's not Like, that's why one
hundred and thirty players didn't vote for him for the
All Star Game?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Is an exhibition? Really? I just like you all you lay,
I'm like, uh, they asked they had to pick somebody.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
They're trying to participate in the survey, and they just
picked a guy who had a massive contract, who wasn't
putting up crazy, crazy numbers, and somebody had to be it,
you know what I mean, Like, somebody had to be.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
It's got to be someone good too. It can't be
that's the point. It has to be someone they.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Don't connect at the most overrated in the NBA. Yeah,
So I just I just thowt that was going. All right,
that's just a bit mone You can just you didn't.
You can support him, you can show love to him.
Kendrick Perkins Ballad said the joker.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I'm just like it probably did.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Robin will tell you something that's forty piece bucket with
wings with extra biscuits on the side. Man, if he
don't hurry up and get a wing deal, the dealer
endorsement or something. Always talking about some chicken we got Minnesota, Holston,
the Warriors closeman now eight seven?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Who you got you think of? Minnesota closed it out tonight?
Oh yeah, even though the Knicks were no show in
Boston to night. That was Yeah, Boston survives, as you
mentioned there, that was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, but the Minnesota's at home. Why you want to
get this? You don't want to go to You just
don't because they already report was that Steph. They saw
him and he could be a possibility for six, and
you just don't want to. You don't want anything crazy
appening if you're Edwards has talked about that too. He said,
we gotta act like it ain't over. You gotta win four.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
