now you can't go. The answer is no, you can't go,
right because he's the official. He could technically have you ejected.

the one time you could do it because he's gonna

I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Did you have to pay extra for hair doed? You

the deal? It was not? No, yeah, it was robusting
and red.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'd say yes, No, I'm looking forward to. It's gonna
be fun. Wait, it's it's next to Saturday. We're gonna
be in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I'm leaving early. I'm coming up back early. Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's just hitting me only for more than anybody else.
An Abj says a lot, Martin, you can never know.
I don't love me.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I mean I almost didn't want to miss an Abj.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
He was like, baby, hear me out. What if we
did it Sunday? I came back home Saturday and then
he had a day to get ready. Did you pitch that?
Not a chance.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You don't care about the n ABJ even though she's
in the business.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
But but it's her wedding day. Absolutely, And by the way,
it is her wedding day. It is her day.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
And what about us? Hell, it's my wedding day too.
But let me tell you something, I'll be here working
to pay off that wedding day, so it's mine too.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Have a ball, keep telling you. Just have fun, man,
it's unbelievable. Like when I got married, it was a
long time ago.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
We had this beautiful wedding two hundred and fifty people
at the Atheneum Hotel downtown Detroit, in in the lobby,
you know, in the lobby with the harpist and all
like violent, like the whole nine yards for orders passing
out lamb chops. I'm talking about top shelf wedding. Then
(04:24):
last a long but anyway, top shelf wedding. How much
you paid for that wedding? Rob Gid, I tell you this.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Before eleven dollars close fourteen thousand dollars. Can you believe that? Wait?
How because at the time just the era.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, it was it was a nineteen ninety seven, fourteen grandma.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But you know what I mean, But she like did
a great deal.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
We had it in a we'd have to pay for
like the room, you know what I mean, because it
was in the lobby at the hotel and we had
all the hotel room, so that saved money and all that.
But we had like lamb chops and a meal and
for our wedding dish, I had lobster and steak, you.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Like it wasn't like yeah, we we were like really
and we had two hundred and fifty people, a ton
of people and it.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Was fourteen brand.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I don't care a dang if it was whats going, Like,
my god, off fourteen thousand.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That didn't get you any.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah, the problem is the witness at your wedding had
to chisel it into the stone tablet instead of shining
the license. I didn't know how Bedrock was able to
process the licenses.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But even I'm even in the nineties, that's that's two
hundred and fifty people and everybody. If you got that,
and I'm saying right it one like man, you promised
somebody's like I ain't gonna write about him, No, more.
That's what you did, like, I ain't gonna be alaya wave,
I'm gonna take it easy.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
To give me a deal, help me out.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He subsidized it, all right, all right, Well, Tom Brady
had some comments. He did we talked about this earlier
this week, last week, so this is a dual last
week old topic.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No, no, no, the topic that he won't go with
the old stale topics.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
No, this is top big that he jumped on late
like we did. Scotty Scheffler, Jordan Speif, who had talked
about how Scotty Scheffler, Uh, you know one, remember we
talked about fulfillment and being great is great and working
hard and being the best golfer, but ultimately I don't
find the most fulfillment in winning the Masters and winning
these tournaments.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It's not everything in life.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
And that's what he said, and Jordane Speed kind of echoed,
I know, George Scheffler, Scottie, this is what he's about.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
He's about family, he's about other things about meaning.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
So that's what Tom Brady kind of jumped in on
this conversation, and he questioned, why can't you have both?
Is what TV twel said. He said, why can't you
have both. He went on to say, you can be
you know you can be. They don't have to be
mutually excusive exclusive. You can have their different blocks on
the pyramid, but they're in the same. Period said, for instance,
(06:48):
I think part of being a great father is being
a great example of doing what it takes take care
of your family.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I chose to be by doing football.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
My dedication to the sport, the hours to practice, the moments,
all of that my laser focused. Essentially the paraphrase what
he's saying is I showed my kids this is how
you can do it. But here's my problem. This is
where it get hit hypocritical for me or the challenges
that I have for this. Listen, to be great at
anything is gonna cost. It's gonna sacrifice. I don't give it,
dang what you are, what field. We know that it's
gonna take time away from family, time away from everything
(07:17):
to focus on that. But there comes a point, and
this is something he learned here on a podcast Let's Go.
He said that I miss years of holidays and personal
events due to football commitments, and then he said, you
wrestle with that as you get older and Eventually, He
went on to say that Giselle kind of gave him a,
you know, an ultimatum.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
She said, look, man, too much football. Sure it's easy
for you.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
You get to go play a game, and I'm here
at the family raising kids.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
And what did he do.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
He came back for another year of football. And that's
to me where I have an issue. What he's saying
is that when your family comes out and tells you, look,
I've sacrificed, I've given my all.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I've been here, I've done my best. I need your home.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
We all went in on this journey for you, this
longer than most people ever in sports journey.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We need you home. That's when you gotta come home.
I totally disagree. I think she was totally selfish.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I'm with Tom Brady, I know, don't faint whoa and
don't don't for people say I hate Tom.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I'm with Tom Brady. I don't think they're.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Mutually exclusive, that you could only have one or the other.
There've been great people who had to sacrifice. Hold on,
I'm gonna give it right and don't tell me there
are anchorman who worked forty years who had to miss
had to work, you know, the six o'clock and the
eleven o'clock for their family and do what they had
to do. And that's not why they broke up over
(08:42):
one more year of football.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
They had other issues.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
She wound up having a baby like eight months after
they broke up, so there was other issues. It wasn't
just that he was playing football. That was her trying
to flex on him like a power struggle. No, stop
playing now, he's already played with one like he played
eight years, and it was he had played over twenty years.
(09:05):
She knew what she had signed up for and knew
what he was about. And this whole idea I got
divorced when I dated my wife, I had three jobs.
My mother always said to me, my late mom before
was like she married you knowing this. This wasn't like
(09:26):
you were a banker and then you got married and
then you got three jobs and you had to go
on the road and you worked at night or whatever.
This is what she signed up for. And and you
can't have it both ways. You want the life, you
want all this other stuff that comes with it, and
you also don't want the man that supposedly you love
(09:46):
all right to resent you. When my wife didn't want
me to work on the radio show. That was our
one of our rubs at that time, out of show
from ten pm to one am. She hated it every night,
tried to stop me from going in.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Okay, she did not want me to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I told her, you don't want the Rob Parker without
the radio show, because if you get that Rob Parker,
I will resent you the rest of my life. And
I don't think you want to be with somebody. And
the same thing with Tom Brady and his wife. Had
Tom done that and not completed or fulfill what he
believed was was important to him. It's a give and take.
(10:29):
It's a give and take. But this is where I
want to I think she. I think she's selfish, And
this is where will fundamentally disagree.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I do believe.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
And this is where it's a challenge any one of
us trying to pursue anything what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You you're right.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
When we're in a space where we're in and if
you're going good, what happens?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know this? More opportunities come, Hey, you want to
host this? Hey you want to? You could be home now, right?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Not serious? Right, you could be home now. Okay, But absolutely.
You could be home, you could do your job in
the morning, new come home, take a nap, do your kids, homework, whatever.
But no, this is something you gotta have. You have
passion for radio, you wanna do this. This is gonna
be good for your family ultimately and your wife.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
This is where I'm going, I agree. This is where
it becomes a challenge. And this is where I brought
up when you feel as if this is becoming too
much for everybody, and this is why it is never
gonna be a perfect equation. Right, this is Kobe Bryant
for an example, Kobe Bryant. We know how Manaiako about
his approach was he said, friends, come and go Banner's
(11:33):
last forever.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Right.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
He sacrificed so much. We know that sacrifice simon his daughters.
We know that it's documented. He expressed that. And on
the other side, you finally get to the place where
I finally get to get that. And that's the challenge
was you have to realize what's gonna matter to me most.
Is it gonna be I went that extra few years,
or I got that extra job, or is it the
memories that I had? And each person is different. I
(11:56):
think Tom Brady would do it again again. By the way,
I think Tom Brady would do it again, like losing
a fan all that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think he would.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But I think it's naive to believe that that was
the only reason. I believe that they had already had
other issues, because you could work through that.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
He's not gonna play forever.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
The idea that she gave him an ultimatum about one
more season doesn't make he can't play till he's fifty.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
If you really love Tom Brady, you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Got to say he's going to retire and then I'll
have it back.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But my real question, why is it not the reverse?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
If you really love your wife and she says, hey, babe,
I've given you my all?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Can you just not you got not that time? What
six Super Bowl rings? Can you? Can? You just can? Can?
I can? I? Can? We be on no question? Can
I be honest?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know what their living situation, but I'm sure
she had plenty of help, cooking, helping with the kids.
It ain't like she's lugging kids on the bus and
all that.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm dead serious, no, no, no, like I want to
be with you.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
They only play four months out of the year.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It's a cop out by her. That's the end of
the world.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
They only play four months September through December or whatever February.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Oh, but you.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Only four months of work. You're working off season. You're
doing this your round. No, you're not working during the
night or missing dinner at that time. Rons Jill got
four months. Rock G jump in, rob G, jumping around
with kids. Kids want you home and stop it, rob G.
There's nobody who's ever made it big in life that
went to every little league at that.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
You go, look at the god. That's a fact.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
The best people all the I'm talking about people at
the biggest job, made the most money, did not at
every little league.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
And that is the point where you have No, that's
a fact. Rob G knows not.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
This past week, the week before is the first time
I ever missed my daughter's basketball game.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I told her I was saying a big moment and
I was sick.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
But I also know daddy makes ninety whatever percent of everything.
I'm there for recitals on there. But I agree you
have to go through some sacrifices to get where you
want to go for greatness.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But all I'm saying, still win scoreless even with you
not there. What's the difference. It's almost over on the table.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I saw black, I saw red almost what my baby
got buckets last week? To ever we won the game.
Two others, Bob G, where are you want? Robie gonna
be one talking to me? You sound like a man
who is single living his life. Ain't got no kids,
ain't got no one.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And then who go to I almost want to call
you x y. No, you don't want that. I'm you're
gonna resent me.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
You know what marriage is about the real story? I mean,
let me give you a real story.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I would have. I would have resented her. I would have.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
But that's crazy. So let me give you a real story.
Matter of fact, let me give you a real story.
Let's talk off the number real quick and eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox where.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Rob G did you give me a tas on? You
told me to weigh in on this?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
And then I'm just waiting here for a second, y'all
gotta be fired over you go ahead.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Look.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Tom Brady said it was the best on his own podcast.
By the way, quote, I haven't had a Christmas in
twenty three years.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I had a Thanksgiving a twenty three years.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
I haven't celebrated birthdays with people I care about that
were born from August to January.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I haven't been to funerals or weddings.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
My guy, you had already been playing for two decades
and you still signed up again. Tom Brady didn't care
about his you know, relatively, did not care about his
family like that.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
His love was football. He chose football.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
His wife had a great life with Tom Brady and.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All the other stuff. Are you kidding'? Come on, man,
She had a great life.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
And when she had to go do a shoot somewhere
in Paris or whatever, she went and did it and
made that money and left the kids with.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
This is how I know you ain't never getting made
a game? Ride all right?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox? Is Tom Brady right?
Like I think he is? Oh to your hypocrite, He's
Telvin thinks. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I'm
the one on Tom Brady's I'm on his back right now.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
No way, man, that crazy. I'm on his side, right,

But here's the thing.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
We never have enough time to get to everything we

Speaker 9 (16:33):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, you blubber list name in me.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should

Speaker 3 (17:27):
We're gonna do this and do that, and that just
won't the part of it.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I really mean this. I do think that plays a role.
I've always envisioned that, like that was my life's goal.
And then of course career do this rogie, are.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
You on that real quick? Forget these calls. Were you
always gonna like family?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Yeah, because you know my own childhood and what I
wanted to be better at as a parent and a father,
So that meant a lot to me from.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
The same bring I think that's that that could be
it where I looked at it, I just saw my
mom and they work really hard, you know what I mean,
we and and that's what and that's what I took
from them.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Maybe I just I just wanted to be like a
great family and then of course be successful whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
All right, go ahead, eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox Brian in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Brian.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It's fun to call in and talk to you. Guys.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
Hey, I love this topic because this is a lot
there's some.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Real world stuff that a lot of us are going through.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
So thank you for talking about it.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But uh yeah, I got a sigh with Rob.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
On this one.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Man.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
If you, if you provided.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The woman gives a man an ultimatum and trying to
take away something that he is truly truly passionate about,
He's not going to look at you the same Ember again.
So I got a side with him.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Say that again, say it last part. I'm sorry, Oh.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, just that you can't take away something from
a man that you're truly passionate about.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And you know I never look at him the same
am I?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Right, Brian, That's why I said that to her. I'm
dead serious. It ain't like I'm digging a ditch or
I'm working at Target or something. You know what, I
mean to make extra money. This is my pasth, this
is my this is what I this is what I
was born to do or there's a difference between having
a job and fulfilling a lifelong dream, and for somebody
to take that away from you, you could resent them
(19:11):
like this is not just oh you you don't have
to please, don't work the extra hour.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Thanks for the call, Brian.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
This, I think the ultimately we got to say we're
getting somewhere. I think vision. I have vision being a fan,
having a family, being mare and then of course being
great at whatever I do. First, you vision being greaty
what you do first? Maybe family second. I think we're
getting there somewhere. This makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Biscuit in h Town, you're on the hots. You better
be over two fifty. That's right. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Biscuits?
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Hey man, listen, first thing when they say this is
Rob and this is where you're coming off kind of
wrong man. In a relationship, there are two legitimate, equal perspectives.
So you can't just dismiss her perspective of the situation.
Now we know it wasn't there and when a conversation
was had, what I would say to you, Rob is
(20:03):
if Tom said to Gizill, this is my last thing,
this is this and that, and he went back on
his word. That's a whole nother level. Now, man, you didn't.
You didn't told me this is it, and now you
didn't went back on your word. So now we're talking
about priority.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
So you woymn biscuit.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Do you remember Tom Brady missed training camp for his
wife and went on vacation? Okay, he did. Do you
remember nobody's miss training? He miss trained, rob didn't two
weeks like.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
To like controversy.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
Yes, that wasn't enough.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No, no, no, but that But that's my point is
she married a football player and there are certain things
that come with that.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
Is a job a high priority than your family?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No, because because I don't look at it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I don't look at being a football player or a
sports ride or broadcast or radio show host.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I don't look at it as like a job.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
If you told me, and I'm gonna be honest, if
you told me I was working at Target or I
had some you know, a job like a job, a job,
not like a passion or a career or a job.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Then I'm with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You don't need to go to that job more so
than you need to be here, okay, But there's something
about these kind of people who do these things that
matter to them more than just having a job.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I don't look at this as a job, but that's
that's that's the difference.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
We're looking at it as you're still by you, I
mean you and maybe even like other folks who view
it this way greater than family, my passion, my purpose,
And I get it. That's why I said, Kobe Bryant,
God bless it, that would do it again. You know
what I'm saying, Like that he feels like I was
on this earth to be Kobe. That's when I get it,
and that's why it's never going to be.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's not like Kobe giving up his family to go
be a security guard at Crypto.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Do you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But there's a degree of stuff, and I do get
that if you're not around or working too many jobs.
I had a friend of mine who worked too full time, Like,
you can't work two full time jobs, okay and have.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
A right, but unless you're in the NBA or great,
that's how you want Mewick. But the family doesn't think
that kids are gonna be like yo, you missed a
lot of stuff. You weren't there, and that's ultimately that
your death. Man, that's what you're gonna think about, Like dang,
I wouldn't know. I'd be like, you know what kind
of life we had? We had a great life. Everything's
not perfect. I don't thinking about that week swap that
turn that w upside down me. It's a lot of
(22:42):
me going on right now.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Rob. A lot of meat talk. Now we talk.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Andre in Massachusetts. You're the last one on this show
on a couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
What's up, Dre, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 12 (22:52):
Thanks for taking the call. Listen in this regard, I'm
ten toes down with Rob. If you meet somebody and
you know what they're about, and they have a passion
and a drive and that's what fuels them, and you
understand that from the beginning, you have to let them
rock and not switch it up midway through. Rob. As
you know your previous cohar host Kelvin is doing his thing,
(23:12):
but Chris Bruceard, his wife's the medical doctor. What are
we talking about now? You're spending too much time at
the hospital helping people, say right, I need you back.
You understood that from the jump. And if they're doing
something they're passionate about that's positive for the community, that's uplifting.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Andre. Andre, you are right, Andre, you're married Andre. Women.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Andre's right on the money because rob G knows this too,
because she would be on call for the weekends.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Chris would be byself for the weekend. She's a doctor too.
This is what she has to do. Drey, You're right.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Two things. One, men and women are different. Let's start there.
What women with men requiring? What women and require two
totally different things. Men can deal with that more than women.
If you're not there, you're not going with everybody in
relationship agree on that that.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Women. Are you trying to say women are weaker?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
No, just women can kind of be like, all right,
she's gone and deal with the metter. Women once you're around,
they once you be there, they're literally different physiological makeup.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Stop it. I'm just saying you're gonna have people. You're
gonna be having people calling.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
They're like, rob I listened to you, great, but I
also got a divorce.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
No, but you know what, and you brought this up
and rob G and Alex, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Where you grow up and your family, you know, your
mom and dad will get divorced or they're not together
or whatever, and it can make a difference.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Rob G.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I think you think that you wanted to have a
family and be a family unit together right because you.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Didn't have ye, because it mattered to me to be right,
and you too.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
The first thing I ever drew was a picture of me,
a wife, two kids, a dog name Spocket picking fits
at kmart, Alex.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Where are you? Were? Your mom and dad together.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
For most of it, but they they split in high school?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Okay, so at some point, right they split.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
And I lived that family life.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You know, you had it.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I don't care to make a family.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah to me, Like when I got married, I thought
of like, okay, we might have a kid or two.
But it wasn't like, oh my god, like that is
the number one thing. It was like to me, if
it happens, it happens. And that's why it wasn't like
some people set out to go like they get married,
Oh no, I want to have three kids or four kids,
like they that's what they want.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
And I think that's why this conversation perfo way to end.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
It is like that's what you always set out for
that I always set out first and foremost that side.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Because you want it. Yeah, because you wanted that, it
would be great. I feel like, because you can have both.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
But the last point, I know there's a level I
could take if I sacrifice everything you Rob g knows
he sees the text message and email. If I get
the things, you can do this, you can hold it.
And I turned down because I can't because I want
then I would never see my family. But to your point,
I get the allure of like, if I can do that,
all right, if I can do this.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's not forever. And I told that's what I used
to tell my wife.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You don't like the radio show now, and I get it,
but at some point we're gonna I'm gonna get fired
or it's gonna okay, So let me do this now
because it's not forever.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I'm not gonna act like it's out of difficult balance.
Everybody listen, it's a balancing all right. We could go
on and on about this. Love the conversation. Thank you
everybody who jumped in on Ferducci on the other side.
Right now, Martin White's gonna get your set on what training.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
All right, it is the odd couple, Rob and Kelvin
on a worship Wednesday. We're joined now by that's right,
Tom Erducci, Fox Ever Analysts and reporter of Time.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
What's up at What up?
Speaker 11 (26:41):
All?
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Good? Busy week in baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Big time man, all the trades and all the other
stuff going on. A lot of a lot of action
moving on FORDUCA. Is that because there are a lot
of teams still in the mix. A lot of teams
this year have fallen out because you see teams giving
up trading inside the division which never used to happened.
The Twins are trading to the Tigers, you know, and whatnot?
(27:04):
Where are we on this redut?
Speaker 10 (27:06):
I think what's driving this market is relief pitching. I
mean the teams are jumping up to grab every guy
who can miss a bat late in the game. It
doesn't matter if you already have a closer. Last time
I counted, there were about eight or nine different closers
who are available. Doesn't mean they all gets traded, but
teams are just loading up no team more than the
(27:27):
New York Mets. In some cases, it looks like the
price is high in terms of talent. But guys, postseason
baseball now is mostly, whether we like it or not,
about relief pitching. I mean, last year, more than half
the games the starting pitcher was gone before the fifth inning.
So the bullpens are picking up more and more of
(27:48):
the outs in the course of postseason baseball, and teams
are loading up now.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
No doubt about it. Yeah, not just one last year, Booth.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
As matter of fact, if they had come back for
Game six, if you remember correctly, Tom, they didn't even
have a starter, they would have had to do a
bullpen game in Game six.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
That like, I mean, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
But there's a big event happening on Saturday that we
want to talk about in Bristol, Tennessee at the Speedways,
the twenty twenty five MLB Speedway Classic. Tom tell us
about that and baseball. A crowd of is expected to
be eighty five thousand.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
You got that right. At least they've already sold. The
tickets sold has gone past eighty five thousands, which will
be a new Major League record for a regular season
game the old record and he won. Right now, that
standing record is from a doubleheader in Cleveland, Brov, you
remember the municipal stadiums Cleveland, Well, the Yankees played a
(28:55):
doubleheader against Cleveland in nineteen fifty four, eighty four thousand
in the place. That record has stood all these years.
But it's going to be broken on Saturday, and what's
going to be an absolutely amazing venue. Listen, if you're
not a fan of the Braves of the Reds, even
if you're not a fan of baseball, if you just
(29:17):
want to see something really cool, I'm telling you, you
watch this game and you will not be able to
take your eyes off it. It is just going to
look spectacular with drone shots and just eighty five thousand
people and a speedway with a baseball game going on
in the infield. It's going to be so cool.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Well, which makes where I want to go with this interesting.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Baseball is in a good place, Rob and I talking
about the ratings are up, and you got some good storylines,
you got the Yankee Minder's a lot of young, good
young players coming up in a good place. But then
here is the other side to it, Rob, Manfred and
Bryce Harper chest to chest, cussing each other out.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Tom, What the heck is going on there? Where are
we starting to worry about.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
The CBA and and the words like stoppage coming around
when it again, I just said, baseball looks at it
being great place.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
Yeah, well, listen, I wish they had a camera in
Phillies Clubhouse because I watched that r Harper against the
Commissioner commission. They said, no, he didn't, And listen, I
have no problem with what he's doing here. He's it's
not just the Phillies. He's talking to all the different
teams and trying to build bridges, if you will, but
also trying to explain not someone's trying to argue in
(30:23):
favor of a salary cap, but to talk about the
economics field, any questions.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Listen.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
There was a lot of criticism in the past that
maybe he wasn't in touch with the players. More so
he's gotten out there. You know, He's got this advisory
committee of former players, the Commissioner's Ambassadorship group that is
also talking to players. So the efforts there. And I
have no problem though with Bryce Harper challenging him. I
mean I wasn't there so I can't tell you how
(30:50):
bad it was in terms of the decorum or lack
of but it is a major league clubhouse, right You're
not on a PBS debate stage. I get it. But
you know, I think all in all, it's good. Listen,
if baseball, if the owners want to change the economic system,
and I don't know how far they want to go
with this, it's not gonna be easy. I mean, as
(31:11):
you said, I said, the game is really good right now.
I think it's not a high it's it's it's definitely
propelled forward from the last year's World Series, the Dodgers
and the Yankees, and you know, actually going back to
the pitch timer, which I keep saying, Man, that's the
best thing that happened to baseball since soft serve ice
cream in a little better.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Hey you know what.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And I was Reducci. I'm gonna be honest. I didn't
like it at first because I really believed it was like,
let's just speed up the game and get it over
with for people who didn't like baseball. And and and
it's not. It hasn't taken away the fabric of the game.
It's just taking out all the minutia and all the
adjusting yourself and stepping out tom on every other pitch.
(31:53):
I'm fine with it. I went to a game recently
two hours and ten minutes too.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I mean, I can't do it.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
No, it's great, man, And I was in favor of
this for years because what I saw was, you know,
it wasn't like there was more offense. Games were taking
longer just because of twenty to twenty five minutes of
pure dead time, whether it was a velcrow adjustment of
the bat and gloves or catchers going out to the
mountain an unlimited number of times. I mean, think about it.
What other sport gives players an unlimited number of timeouts.
(32:24):
That's what baseball did all these years. So it's you
go to a game now, and it's not like they
reinvented anything. We just brought the game back to where
it was in the you know, seventies and eighties. Which listen,
if I go back to the eighties, I'm going to
date myself here. That was kind of a golden era
to me when it comes to just the aesthetics of
the game. Because the ball was in play, you had
(32:45):
different styles of play. You know, you had Harvey wallbangers
and Kansas City, you know, shooting the ball around on
the carpet. So I think we're getting closer to getting
back there. There's still a ton of strikeouts, but in
terms of pace in the game to the pace of
the action, we've come a long way in the last
three years.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Yeah, I think that's where the miscalculation was that all
anybody wanted to see was a long ball.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yes, it's a part of it. We love it. It's great.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
But you mentioned people wanted to see action. They wanted
to see stolen bases, they want to see guys outrun,
you know plays, and he wanted that. And now we're
starting to get more of that real quick because we're
up against it as of now. We were talking about
it earlier in one of our segments. Any favorites you
see from each league to make it to the World Series,
anybody who're still kind of got your eye on, say
it could be because it feels wide open.
Speaker 10 (33:28):
It did feels very wide open. I think a sleeper
team is a Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I mentioned it generally.
Speaker 10 (33:35):
Listen, you look at the last five World champions, they
all hit home runs. They all want ranked like in
the top three or four major league baseball. But the
one thing Milwaukee doesn't have a lot of a little
bit of power, but not a ton of power. But
now the way with the MISASKI kid where he's throwing
woodrup looks great Peralta mcgild the back end of the bullpen.
They got stuff on the mount and they played the
(33:55):
game with speed and defense put the ball in play.
T is a sleeper team for me. I mean, it's
still tough. I'd still go with the Dodgers because I
think when all's said and done, I think they're going
to get a relief pitcher or two here at the deadline,
and I do think their starting pitching is going to
be in good shape by if we get to October.
But it's pretty wide open. I will definitely. I don't
(34:15):
think there's an especially the American League, one particular team
that's got to handle on inside track.
Speaker 3 (34:21):

Speaker 3 (02:15):
No, I mean because he'll be in full he'll be
now you can't go. The answer is no, you can't go,
right because he's the official. He could technically have you ejected.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Could that be a I was gonna say, that'd be
the one time you could do it because he's gonna
be in full what would Jesus do mode?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Like full on?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
He already is, but like full on because he's the official,
Like he's gonna have the Reverend hook up on is he?
Speaker 6 (02:36):
He did ask me when Rob was getting in, He's like,
what's the story with Rob?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Where Rob coming? I just now let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
In the package that he got in order to officiate
your wedding, which I'm expecting to be beautiful come next Saturday,
I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Did you have to pay extra for hair doed? You
know what I mean? Like, was that a part of
the deal? It was not? No, yeah, it was robusting
and red.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'd say yes, No, I'm looking forward to. It's gonna
be fun. Wait, it's it's next to Saturday. We're gonna
be in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I'm leaving early. I'm coming up back early. Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's just hitting me only for more than anybody else.
An Abj says a lot, Martin, you can never know.
I don't love me.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I mean I almost didn't want to miss an Abj.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
He was like, baby, hear me out. What if we
did it Sunday? I came back home Saturday and then
he had a day to get ready. Did you pitch that?
Not a chance.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You don't care about the n ABJ even though she's
in the business.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
But but it's her wedding day. Absolutely, And by the way,
it is her wedding day. It is her day.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
And what about us? Hell, it's my wedding day too.
But let me tell you something, I'll be here working
to pay off that wedding day, so it's mine too.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Have a ball, keep telling you. Just have fun, man,
it's unbelievable. Like when I got married, it was a
long time ago.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
We had this beautiful wedding two hundred and fifty people
at the Atheneum Hotel downtown Detroit, in in the lobby,
you know, in the lobby with the harpist and all
like violent, like the whole nine yards for orders passing
out lamb chops. I'm talking about top shelf wedding. Then
(04:24):
last a long but anyway, top shelf wedding. How much
you paid for that wedding? Rob Gid, I tell you this.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Before eleven dollars close fourteen thousand dollars. Can you believe that? Wait?
How because at the time just the era.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, it was it was a nineteen ninety seven, fourteen grandma.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But you know what I mean, But she like did
a great deal.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
We had it in a we'd have to pay for
like the room, you know what I mean, because it
was in the lobby at the hotel and we had
all the hotel room, so that saved money and all that.
But we had like lamb chops and a meal and
for our wedding dish, I had lobster and steak, you.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Like it wasn't like yeah, we we were like really
and we had two hundred and fifty people, a ton
of people and it.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Was fourteen brand.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I don't care a dang if it was whats going, Like,
my god, off fourteen thousand.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That didn't get you any.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah, the problem is the witness at your wedding had
to chisel it into the stone tablet instead of shining
the license. I didn't know how Bedrock was able to
process the licenses.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But even I'm even in the nineties, that's that's two
hundred and fifty people and everybody. If you got that,
and I'm saying right it one like man, you promised
somebody's like I ain't gonna write about him, No, more.
That's what you did, like, I ain't gonna be alaya wave,
I'm gonna take it easy.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
To give me a deal, help me out.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He subsidized it, all right, all right, Well, Tom Brady
had some comments. He did we talked about this earlier
this week, last week, so this is a dual last
week old topic.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No, no, no, the topic that he won't go with
the old stale topics.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
No, this is top big that he jumped on late
like we did. Scotty Scheffler, Jordan Speif, who had talked
about how Scotty Scheffler, Uh, you know one, remember we
talked about fulfillment and being great is great and working
hard and being the best golfer, but ultimately I don't
find the most fulfillment in winning the Masters and winning
these tournaments.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It's not everything in life.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
And that's what he said, and Jordane Speed kind of echoed,
I know, George Scheffler, Scottie, this is what he's about.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
He's about family, he's about other things about meaning.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
So that's what Tom Brady kind of jumped in on
this conversation, and he questioned, why can't you have both?
Is what TV twel said. He said, why can't you
have both. He went on to say, you can be
you know you can be. They don't have to be
mutually excusive exclusive. You can have their different blocks on
the pyramid, but they're in the same. Period said, for instance,
(06:48):
I think part of being a great father is being
a great example of doing what it takes take care
of your family.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I chose to be by doing football.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
My dedication to the sport, the hours to practice, the moments,
all of that my laser focused. Essentially the paraphrase what
he's saying is I showed my kids this is how
you can do it. But here's my problem. This is
where it get hit hypocritical for me or the challenges
that I have for this. Listen, to be great at
anything is gonna cost. It's gonna sacrifice. I don't give it,
dang what you are, what field. We know that it's
gonna take time away from family, time away from everything
(07:17):
to focus on that. But there comes a point, and
this is something he learned here on a podcast Let's Go.
He said that I miss years of holidays and personal
events due to football commitments, and then he said, you
wrestle with that as you get older and Eventually, He
went on to say that Giselle kind of gave him a,
you know, an ultimatum.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
She said, look, man, too much football. Sure it's easy
for you.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
You get to go play a game, and I'm here
at the family raising kids.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
And what did he do.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
He came back for another year of football. And that's
to me where I have an issue. What he's saying
is that when your family comes out and tells you, look,
I've sacrificed, I've given my all.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I've been here, I've done my best. I need your home.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
We all went in on this journey for you, this
longer than most people ever in sports journey.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We need you home. That's when you gotta come home.
I totally disagree. I think she was totally selfish.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I'm with Tom Brady, I know, don't faint whoa and
don't don't for people say I hate Tom.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I'm with Tom Brady. I don't think they're.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Mutually exclusive, that you could only have one or the other.
There've been great people who had to sacrifice. Hold on,
I'm gonna give it right and don't tell me there
are anchorman who worked forty years who had to miss
had to work, you know, the six o'clock and the
eleven o'clock for their family and do what they had
to do. And that's not why they broke up over
(08:42):
one more year of football.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
They had other issues.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
She wound up having a baby like eight months after
they broke up, so there was other issues. It wasn't
just that he was playing football. That was her trying
to flex on him like a power struggle. No, stop
playing now, he's already played with one like he played
eight years, and it was he had played over twenty years.
(09:05):
She knew what she had signed up for and knew
what he was about. And this whole idea I got
divorced when I dated my wife, I had three jobs.
My mother always said to me, my late mom before
was like she married you knowing this. This wasn't like
(09:26):
you were a banker and then you got married and
then you got three jobs and you had to go
on the road and you worked at night or whatever.
This is what she signed up for. And and you
can't have it both ways. You want the life, you
want all this other stuff that comes with it, and
you also don't want the man that supposedly you love
(09:46):
all right to resent you. When my wife didn't want
me to work on the radio show. That was our
one of our rubs at that time, out of show
from ten pm to one am. She hated it every night,
tried to stop me from going in.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Okay, she did not want me to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I told her, you don't want the Rob Parker without
the radio show, because if you get that Rob Parker,
I will resent you the rest of my life. And
I don't think you want to be with somebody. And
the same thing with Tom Brady and his wife. Had
Tom done that and not completed or fulfill what he
believed was was important to him. It's a give and take.
(10:29):
It's a give and take. But this is where I
want to I think she. I think she's selfish, And
this is where will fundamentally disagree.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I do believe.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
And this is where it's a challenge any one of
us trying to pursue anything what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You you're right.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
When we're in a space where we're in and if
you're going good, what happens?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know this? More opportunities come, Hey, you want to
host this? Hey you want to? You could be home now, right?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Not serious? Right, you could be home now. Okay, But absolutely.
You could be home, you could do your job in
the morning, new come home, take a nap, do your kids, homework, whatever.
But no, this is something you gotta have. You have
passion for radio, you wanna do this. This is gonna
be good for your family ultimately and your wife.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
This is where I'm going, I agree. This is where
it becomes a challenge. And this is where I brought
up when you feel as if this is becoming too
much for everybody, and this is why it is never
gonna be a perfect equation. Right, this is Kobe Bryant
for an example, Kobe Bryant. We know how Manaiako about
his approach was he said, friends, come and go Banner's
(11:33):
last forever.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Right.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
He sacrificed so much. We know that sacrifice simon his daughters.
We know that it's documented. He expressed that. And on
the other side, you finally get to the place where
I finally get to get that. And that's the challenge
was you have to realize what's gonna matter to me most.
Is it gonna be I went that extra few years,
or I got that extra job, or is it the
memories that I had? And each person is different. I
(11:56):
think Tom Brady would do it again again. By the way,
I think Tom Brady would do it again, like losing
a fan all that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think he would.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But I think it's naive to believe that that was
the only reason. I believe that they had already had
other issues, because you could work through that.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
He's not gonna play forever.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
The idea that she gave him an ultimatum about one
more season doesn't make he can't play till he's fifty.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
If you really love Tom Brady, you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Got to say he's going to retire and then I'll
have it back.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But my real question, why is it not the reverse?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
If you really love your wife and she says, hey, babe,
I've given you my all?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Can you just not you got not that time? What
six Super Bowl rings? Can you? Can? You just can? Can?
I can? I? Can? We be on no question? Can
I be honest?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't know what their living situation, but I'm sure
she had plenty of help, cooking, helping with the kids.
It ain't like she's lugging kids on the bus and
all that.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm dead serious, no, no, no, like I want to
be with you.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
They only play four months out of the year.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It's a cop out by her. That's the end of
the world.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
They only play four months September through December or whatever February.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Oh, but you.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Only four months of work. You're working off season. You're
doing this your round. No, you're not working during the
night or missing dinner at that time. Rons Jill got
four months. Rock G jump in, rob G, jumping around
with kids. Kids want you home and stop it, rob G.
There's nobody who's ever made it big in life that
went to every little league at that.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
You go, look at the god. That's a fact.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
The best people all the I'm talking about people at
the biggest job, made the most money, did not at
every little league.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
And that is the point where you have No, that's
a fact. Rob G knows not.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
This past week, the week before is the first time
I ever missed my daughter's basketball game.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I told her I was saying a big moment and
I was sick.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
But I also know daddy makes ninety whatever percent of everything.
I'm there for recitals on there. But I agree you
have to go through some sacrifices to get where you
want to go for greatness.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But all I'm saying, still win scoreless even with you
not there. What's the difference. It's almost over on the table.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I saw black, I saw red almost what my baby
got buckets last week? To ever we won the game.
Two others, Bob G, where are you want? Robie gonna
be one talking to me? You sound like a man
who is single living his life. Ain't got no kids,
ain't got no one.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And then who go to I almost want to call
you x y. No, you don't want that. I'm you're
gonna resent me.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
You know what marriage is about the real story? I mean,
let me give you a real story.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I would have. I would have resented her. I would have.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
But that's crazy. So let me give you a real story.
Matter of fact, let me give you a real story.
Let's talk off the number real quick and eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox where.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Rob G did you give me a tas on? You
told me to weigh in on this?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
And then I'm just waiting here for a second, y'all
gotta be fired over you go ahead.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Look.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Tom Brady said it was the best on his own podcast.
By the way, quote, I haven't had a Christmas in
twenty three years.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I had a Thanksgiving a twenty three years.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
I haven't celebrated birthdays with people I care about that
were born from August to January.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I haven't been to funerals or weddings.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
My guy, you had already been playing for two decades
and you still signed up again. Tom Brady didn't care
about his you know, relatively, did not care about his
family like that.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
His love was football. He chose football.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
His wife had a great life with Tom Brady and.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All the other stuff. Are you kidding'? Come on, man,
She had a great life.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
And when she had to go do a shoot somewhere
in Paris or whatever, she went and did it and
made that money and left the kids with.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
This is how I know you ain't never getting made
a game? Ride all right?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox? Is Tom Brady right?
Like I think he is? Oh to your hypocrite, He's
Telvin thinks. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I'm
the one on Tom Brady's I'm on his back right now.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
No way, man, that crazy. I'm on his side, right,
little gig. Yeah, all right? It is the war that's domina, right,
But I'm still riding it.

Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
We never have enough time to get to everything we
want to get.
Speaker 9 (16:33):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, you blubber list name in me.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships and Rich and I are arguing about
something or we didn't have enough time. It will continue
on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich make
sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

Speaker 4 (17:15):
There you go, over promising.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
Remember you could see it on YouTube, but definitely join
us listener over Promised with Cadino and Rich on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
We're gonna do this and do that, and that just
won't the part of it.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I really mean this. I do think that plays a role.
I've always envisioned that, like that was my life's goal.
And then of course career do this rogie, are.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
You on that real quick? Forget these calls. Were you
always gonna like family?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Yeah, because you know my own childhood and what I
wanted to be better at as a parent and a father,
So that meant a lot to me from.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
The same bring I think that's that that could be
it where I looked at it, I just saw my
mom and they work really hard, you know what I mean,
we and and that's what and that's what I took
from them.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Maybe I just I just wanted to be like a
great family and then of course be successful whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
All right, go ahead, eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox Brian in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Brian.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It's fun to call in and talk to you. Guys.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
Hey, I love this topic because this is a lot
there's some.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Real world stuff that a lot of us are going through.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
So thank you for talking about it.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But uh yeah, I got a sigh with Rob.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
On this one.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Man.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
If you, if you provided.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The woman gives a man an ultimatum and trying to
take away something that he is truly truly passionate about,
He's not going to look at you the same Ember again.
So I got a side with him.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Say that again, say it last part. I'm sorry, Oh.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, just that you can't take away something from
a man that you're truly passionate about.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And you know I never look at him the same
am I?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Right, Brian, That's why I said that to her. I'm
dead serious. It ain't like I'm digging a ditch or
I'm working at Target or something. You know what, I
mean to make extra money. This is my pasth, this
is my this is what I this is what I
was born to do or there's a difference between having
a job and fulfilling a lifelong dream, and for somebody
to take that away from you, you could resent them
(19:11):
like this is not just oh you you don't have
to please, don't work the extra hour.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Thanks for the call, Brian.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
This, I think the ultimately we got to say we're
getting somewhere. I think vision. I have vision being a fan,
having a family, being mare and then of course being
great at whatever I do. First, you vision being greaty
what you do first? Maybe family second. I think we're
getting there somewhere. This makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Biscuit in h Town, you're on the hots. You better
be over two fifty. That's right. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Biscuits?
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Hey man, listen, first thing when they say this is
Rob and this is where you're coming off kind of
wrong man. In a relationship, there are two legitimate, equal perspectives.
So you can't just dismiss her perspective of the situation.
Now we know it wasn't there and when a conversation
was had, what I would say to you, Rob is
(20:03):
if Tom said to Gizill, this is my last thing,
this is this and that, and he went back on
his word. That's a whole nother level. Now, man, you didn't.
You didn't told me this is it, and now you
didn't went back on your word. So now we're talking
about priority.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
So you woymn biscuit.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Do you remember Tom Brady missed training camp for his
wife and went on vacation? Okay, he did. Do you
remember nobody's miss training? He miss trained, rob didn't two
weeks like.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
To like controversy.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
Yes, that wasn't enough.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No, no, no, but that But that's my point is
she married a football player and there are certain things
that come with that.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
Is a job a high priority than your family?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No, because because I don't look at it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I don't look at being a football player or a
sports ride or broadcast or radio show host.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I don't look at it as like a job.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
If you told me, and I'm gonna be honest, if
you told me I was working at Target or I
had some you know, a job like a job, a job,
not like a passion or a career or a job.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Then I'm with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You don't need to go to that job more so
than you need to be here, okay, But there's something
about these kind of people who do these things that
matter to them more than just having a job.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I don't look at this as a job, but that's
that's that's the difference.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
We're looking at it as you're still by you, I
mean you and maybe even like other folks who view
it this way greater than family, my passion, my purpose,
And I get it. That's why I said, Kobe Bryant,
God bless it, that would do it again. You know
what I'm saying, Like that he feels like I was
on this earth to be Kobe. That's when I get it,
and that's why it's never going to be.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's not like Kobe giving up his family to go
be a security guard at Crypto.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Do you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But there's a degree of stuff, and I do get
that if you're not around or working too many jobs.
I had a friend of mine who worked too full time, Like,
you can't work two full time jobs, okay and have.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
A right, but unless you're in the NBA or great,
that's how you want Mewick. But the family doesn't think
that kids are gonna be like yo, you missed a
lot of stuff. You weren't there, and that's ultimately that
your death. Man, that's what you're gonna think about, Like dang,
I wouldn't know. I'd be like, you know what kind
of life we had? We had a great life. Everything's
not perfect. I don't thinking about that week swap that
turn that w upside down me. It's a lot of
(22:42):
me going on right now.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Rob. A lot of meat talk. Now we talk.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Andre in Massachusetts. You're the last one on this show
on a couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
What's up, Dre, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 12 (22:52):
Thanks for taking the call. Listen in this regard, I'm
ten toes down with Rob. If you meet somebody and
you know what they're about, and they have a passion
and a drive and that's what fuels them, and you
understand that from the beginning, you have to let them
rock and not switch it up midway through. Rob. As
you know your previous cohar host Kelvin is doing his thing,
(23:12):
but Chris Bruceard, his wife's the medical doctor. What are
we talking about now? You're spending too much time at
the hospital helping people, say right, I need you back.
You understood that from the jump. And if they're doing
something they're passionate about that's positive for the community, that's uplifting.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Andre. Andre, you are right, Andre, you're married Andre. Women.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Andre's right on the money because rob G knows this too,
because she would be on call for the weekends.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Chris would be byself for the weekend. She's a doctor too.
This is what she has to do. Drey, You're right.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Two things. One, men and women are different. Let's start there.
What women with men requiring? What women and require two
totally different things. Men can deal with that more than women.
If you're not there, you're not going with everybody in
relationship agree on that that.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Women. Are you trying to say women are weaker?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
No, just women can kind of be like, all right,
she's gone and deal with the metter. Women once you're around,
they once you be there, they're literally different physiological makeup.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Stop it. I'm just saying you're gonna have people. You're
gonna be having people calling.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
They're like, rob I listened to you, great, but I
also got a divorce.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
No, but you know what, and you brought this up
and rob G and Alex, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Where you grow up and your family, you know, your
mom and dad will get divorced or they're not together
or whatever, and it can make a difference.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Rob G.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I think you think that you wanted to have a
family and be a family unit together right because you.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Didn't have ye, because it mattered to me to be right,
and you too.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
The first thing I ever drew was a picture of me,
a wife, two kids, a dog name Spocket picking fits
at kmart, Alex.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Where are you? Were? Your mom and dad together.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
For most of it, but they they split in high school?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Okay, so at some point, right they split.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
And I lived that family life.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You know, you had it.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I don't care to make a family.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah to me, Like when I got married, I thought
of like, okay, we might have a kid or two.
But it wasn't like, oh my god, like that is
the number one thing. It was like to me, if
it happens, it happens. And that's why it wasn't like
some people set out to go like they get married,
Oh no, I want to have three kids or four kids,
like they that's what they want.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
And I think that's why this conversation perfo way to end.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
It is like that's what you always set out for
that I always set out first and foremost that side.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Because you want it. Yeah, because you wanted that, it
would be great. I feel like, because you can have both.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
But the last point, I know there's a level I
could take if I sacrifice everything you Rob g knows
he sees the text message and email. If I get
the things, you can do this, you can hold it.
And I turned down because I can't because I want
then I would never see my family. But to your point,
I get the allure of like, if I can do that,
all right, if I can do this.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's not forever. And I told that's what I used
to tell my wife.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You don't like the radio show now, and I get it,
but at some point we're gonna I'm gonna get fired
or it's gonna okay, So let me do this now
because it's not forever.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I'm not gonna act like it's out of difficult balance.
Everybody listen, it's a balancing all right. We could go
on and on about this. Love the conversation. Thank you
everybody who jumped in on Ferducci on the other side.
Right now, Martin White's gonna get your set on what training.

All?
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Good? Busy week in baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Big time man, all the trades and all the other
stuff going on. A lot of a lot of action
moving on FORDUCA. Is that because there are a lot
of teams still in the mix. A lot of teams
this year have fallen out because you see teams giving
up trading inside the division which never used to happened.
The Twins are trading to the Tigers, you know, and whatnot?
(27:04):
Where are we on this redut?
Speaker 10 (27:06):
I think what's driving this market is relief pitching. I
mean the teams are jumping up to grab every guy
who can miss a bat late in the game. It
doesn't matter if you already have a closer. Last time
I counted, there were about eight or nine different closers
who are available. Doesn't mean they all gets traded, but
teams are just loading up no team more than the
(27:27):
New York Mets. In some cases, it looks like the
price is high in terms of talent. But guys, postseason
baseball now is mostly, whether we like it or not,
about relief pitching. I mean, last year, more than half
the games the starting pitcher was gone before the fifth inning.
So the bullpens are picking up more and more of
(27:48):
the outs in the course of postseason baseball, and teams
are loading up now.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
No doubt about it. Yeah, not just one last year, Booth.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
As matter of fact, if they had come back for
Game six, if you remember correctly, Tom, they didn't even
have a starter, they would have had to do a
bullpen game in Game six.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
That like, I mean, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
But there's a big event happening on Saturday that we
want to talk about in Bristol, Tennessee at the Speedways,
the twenty twenty five MLB Speedway Classic. Tom tell us
about that and baseball. A crowd of is expected to
be eighty five thousand.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
You got that right. At least they've already sold. The
tickets sold has gone past eighty five thousands, which will
be a new Major League record for a regular season
game the old record and he won. Right now, that
standing record is from a doubleheader in Cleveland, Brov, you
remember the municipal stadiums Cleveland, Well, the Yankees played a
(28:55):
doubleheader against Cleveland in nineteen fifty four, eighty four thousand
in the place. That record has stood all these years.
But it's going to be broken on Saturday, and what's
going to be an absolutely amazing venue. Listen, if you're
not a fan of the Braves of the Reds, even
if you're not a fan of baseball, if you just
(29:17):
want to see something really cool, I'm telling you, you
watch this game and you will not be able to
take your eyes off it. It is just going to
look spectacular with drone shots and just eighty five thousand
people and a speedway with a baseball game going on
in the infield. It's going to be so cool.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Well, which makes where I want to go with this interesting.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Baseball is in a good place, Rob and I talking
about the ratings are up, and you got some good storylines,
you got the Yankee Minder's a lot of young, good
young players coming up in a good place. But then
here is the other side to it, Rob, Manfred and
Bryce Harper chest to chest, cussing each other out.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Tom, What the heck is going on there? Where are
we starting to worry about.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
The CBA and and the words like stoppage coming around
when it again, I just said, baseball looks at it
being great place.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
Yeah, well, listen, I wish they had a camera in
Phillies Clubhouse because I watched that r Harper against the
Commissioner commission. They said, no, he didn't, And listen, I
have no problem with what he's doing here. He's it's
not just the Phillies. He's talking to all the different
teams and trying to build bridges, if you will, but
also trying to explain not someone's trying to argue in
(30:23):
favor of a salary cap, but to talk about the
economics field, any questions.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Listen.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
There was a lot of criticism in the past that
maybe he wasn't in touch with the players. More so
he's gotten out there. You know, He's got this advisory
committee of former players, the Commissioner's Ambassadorship group that is
also talking to players. So the efforts there. And I
have no problem though with Bryce Harper challenging him. I
mean I wasn't there so I can't tell you how
(30:50):
bad it was in terms of the decorum or lack
of but it is a major league clubhouse, right You're
not on a PBS debate stage. I get it. But
you know, I think all in all, it's good. Listen,
if baseball, if the owners want to change the economic system,
and I don't know how far they want to go
with this, it's not gonna be easy. I mean, as
(31:11):
you said, I said, the game is really good right now.
I think it's not a high it's it's it's definitely
propelled forward from the last year's World Series, the Dodgers
and the Yankees, and you know, actually going back to
the pitch timer, which I keep saying, Man, that's the
best thing that happened to baseball since soft serve ice
cream in a little better.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Hey you know what.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And I was Reducci. I'm gonna be honest. I didn't
like it at first because I really believed it was like,
let's just speed up the game and get it over
with for people who didn't like baseball. And and and
it's not. It hasn't taken away the fabric of the game.
It's just taking out all the minutia and all the
adjusting yourself and stepping out tom on every other pitch.
(31:53):
I'm fine with it. I went to a game recently
two hours and ten minutes too.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I mean, I can't do it.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
No, it's great, man, And I was in favor of
this for years because what I saw was, you know,
it wasn't like there was more offense. Games were taking
longer just because of twenty to twenty five minutes of
pure dead time, whether it was a velcrow adjustment of
the bat and gloves or catchers going out to the
mountain an unlimited number of times. I mean, think about it.
What other sport gives players an unlimited number of timeouts.
(32:24):
That's what baseball did all these years. So it's you
go to a game now, and it's not like they
reinvented anything. We just brought the game back to where
it was in the you know, seventies and eighties. Which listen,
if I go back to the eighties, I'm going to
date myself here. That was kind of a golden era
to me when it comes to just the aesthetics of
the game. Because the ball was in play, you had
(32:45):
different styles of play. You know, you had Harvey wallbangers
and Kansas City, you know, shooting the ball around on
the carpet. So I think we're getting closer to getting
back there. There's still a ton of strikeouts, but in
terms of pace in the game to the pace of
the action, we've come a long way in the last
three years.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Yeah, I think that's where the miscalculation was that all
anybody wanted to see was a long ball.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yes, it's a part of it. We love it. It's great.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
But you mentioned people wanted to see action. They wanted
to see stolen bases, they want to see guys outrun,
you know plays, and he wanted that. And now we're
starting to get more of that real quick because we're
up against it as of now. We were talking about
it earlier in one of our segments. Any favorites you
see from each league to make it to the World Series,
anybody who're still kind of got your eye on, say
it could be because it feels wide open.
Speaker 10 (33:28):
It did feels very wide open. I think a sleeper
team is a Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
I mentioned it generally.
Speaker 10 (33:35):
Listen, you look at the last five World champions, they
all hit home runs. They all want ranked like in
the top three or four major league baseball. But the
one thing Milwaukee doesn't have a lot of a little
bit of power, but not a ton of power. But
now the way with the MISASKI kid where he's throwing
woodrup looks great Peralta mcgild the back end of the bullpen.
They got stuff on the mount and they played the
(33:55):
game with speed and defense put the ball in play.
T is a sleeper team for me. I mean, it's
still tough. I'd still go with the Dodgers because I
think when all's said and done, I think they're going
to get a relief pitcher or two here at the deadline,
and I do think their starting pitching is going to
be in good shape by if we get to October.
But it's pretty wide open. I will definitely. I don't
(34:15):
think there's an especially the American League, one particular team
that's got to handle on inside track.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
All right, There we have it, Tom, Thank you, Ben
appreciate it now, six o'clock Saturday on Fox, six PM,
Eastern eighty five thousand could be more to
