Some baseball “purists” are already demanding an asterisk on Shohei Ohtani’s 50/50 season since it happened after they enlarged the bases and added a pitch clock and disengagement rules for pitchers. And actor Will Ferrell drops by to crack some joke and provide some laughs.

going to be what seed O'Connor.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Let me update you here on what we've got.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Up by the way, teriyaki, chicken, fried rice, buffalo chicken,
egg rolls. Who has it better than we do? Otani? Okay,
mar Blue Bloop, Okay, what do you have seed? We
got up there?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
If you caught Otani's fiftieth home run last night, you
would sell it almost immediately for the best offer, give
it back to Otani and ask for a picture or
a bat or something, or hold it for a decade
plus and then sell it right now. Fifty percent of
the audience are selling it immediately. Thirty seven percent are
giving it back to Otani. Not many of you, not
a lot, only about fourteen percent holding onto it for

(01:56):
a decade.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah. Although Darren Ravel, who is a reporter in this
business collect media, he said he agrees with PAULI, he'd
hold on to this for at least a decade here.
I guess I'd have to see the market here. But
if it's somewhere between two fifty and a million dollars,
if it was a million dollars, then I'd go, all right,

(02:16):
I'll run the risk of somebody else doing this. I
would still want third base, would I don't know if
Major League Baseball at the Hall of Fame asked for that,
but he did steal third base, and I would want
that as well. Can you get the bat? You're not
getting the bat now the Dodgers own is uniform, you're
not getting that either. Maybe batting glove, maybe shoes, maybe

(02:43):
a suite at Dodger Stadium. Like what are you going
to get? What can you get? I don't think just
getting a picture with Shoheo Tani for something like that.
The magnitude there now, I'm just talking about collectors. If
you're if you're somebody who's serious about this, then you're

(03:04):
gonna be like, all right, what am I going to get? Now?
If you're a huge Otani fan, you're like, hey, it's
his he hit it, he should get it. And all
I want is, you know, give me a Otani jersey,
you know, a home jersey signed or something, just a
friendly henshack maybe something like that, just like, hey, you
hit it, I got your ball, even though apparently somebody

(03:27):
grabbed it out of a kid's hand and they have it.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
See there's a video of another dude who the ball
is just crossing over and he's like reaching out and
it must go inches away from his hand and then
bounces away and you're like.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
You were that close.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
No, you could probably feel like the wind created from
it going by.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
But you remember the Bond's mania when they were McCovey
cove and it was gonna be a mash pit there.
That was kind of awesome. It was wild. That was
fun to watch wild. Yes, Todd, knowing how much.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
That ball is worth in the moment, if some little
kids got the ball and you have an opportunity to
grab it out of the kid's hand, what do you
do there? And then after the fact that he starts
crying or she starts crying, when you're gonna hand the
ball back to it's not just a standard foul ball
from Game fifty three.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well, if the child has the ball, I don't think
I can just go up there and peel it out
of their fingers.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Not that they've had it for like several seconds, and
then you just kind of basically stole it from that.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
But like if they're kind of juggling it around. Then
it's kind of that's theirs. It might not be.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
It's in the palm of their hand and you just
snatch it away. Does that make you a horrible person?
Knowing us dollars?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
You always ask this question because you have an answer
to what you would do.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
In an honest moment.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
If I thought that he or she had it but
not really and I can grab it, knowing how much
that's going to be worth, I would probably.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Grab the ball or either have the ball or you don't.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
I think I'm grabbing the ball if I have the opportunity.
And now let's find know who that kid is and
try to do something right by them and share some
of the big money that.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I'm how about you don't take it out of their hands.
That's you would do right by them doing that.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
But then I got nothing out of it except out.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
That I deserve anything.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
They got the ball juggling it around a little bit,
and their little fingers, I don't know if they fully
had crash whatever.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yes, Paul, there is some prerequisite for this. There's some
precedent for this. Back when Bond hit the seventy three
home run ball, there was a young man. I won't
give out his name who caught the ball? And you
could see him catch it in the webbing of a mitt,
and then he goes down to the ground under a
pile of people and he claims the ball was ripped
out of his mitt slash hands by another person. They
went to a lawsuit and they settled out of court.

(05:31):
And there is there is money exchange, so there is
some type of precedent for it.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Like there's a seven year old girl and she's got
a baseball and then Todd wants to take it out
of her fingers.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
If you have a grandmother needs a kidney transplant, you're
down and you have no money, or you're in a financial.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Seven seven three D show email address grabbed that ball?
Patrick dot com? Why do you stop? Why Brely make it?
Ends meet?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
And I I got a family member very sick. I'm
taking the ball, Seaton.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
What's poll question for the final hour? Well, this is
just another topic for you. But last year Okuna has
another big not quite as celebrated, but just a monster year. Yes, right,
forty seventy club never recalled. Yes is last year the
first year that Major League Baseball went to bigger bases. Yes,

(06:21):
And in back to back seasons you have milestone moments.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Are we going with an asterisk?

Speaker 4 (06:27):
I'm just saying, if Ricky Henderson was playing right now,
if he had an extra three inches on the bases,
it wouldn't even be close. I just think it's interesting
that they increase it from fifteen inches to eighteen inches,
and now back to back years you have forty seventy
to fifty to fifty. Okay, they spiced up the baseball.

(06:47):
That definitely makes me sell that ball faster. Next year
you were getting a sixty seventy and Chad in Iowa, Chad,
WIT's on your mind?

Speaker 7 (07:00):
Foot to seventy five. My thunder, My thunder just kind
of got stolen because I was wondering if that will
be an asterisk because the base passes short.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
There we go, Okay, let's go. We've started the ass
It wasn't even twenty four hours and now we have
an asterisk. By show, hey, Toni's stolen me smart. Yes see,
I actually have one of the old bases that the
commissioner sent me before they went to the pizza box
size bases here.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
It's about the size of a sheet of paper, believe
it or not. No, it's about this big. It's about
this biggest size of the loose leaf paper.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, well it's it's still pretty impressive, though, still pretty impressive. Yeah.
Albert in San Diego, Hi, Albert, what's on your mind?

Speaker 8 (07:53):
Hey Dan?

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Five eleven?

Speaker 8 (07:58):
Thanks for that.

Speaker 9 (07:58):
Don Hey Dan, I just want to just get my
thanks to the topics this week, great great show. One
of the topics is, uh, you know, I'm a uniball survivor,
and there was I know, you just put a new
shirt up and you know, I'm watching Marv with this
fill it in my plums. But I'm thinking the shirt
is already available.

Speaker 10 (08:15):
Maybe we knock off an s you know, knock off
a plum.

Speaker 9 (08:18):
You know, the gentleman a couple of days ago was
going to go through some surgery or or some kind
of process. But just gonna let him know that on
the other side, you know, things are going to be good, right,
and then if we can get a.

Speaker 10 (08:29):
Shirt up there with just fill it my plumb.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Okay, all right, Well we talked about I'm going to
take my ball and go home. Yeah see we did.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
I did see a rough mockup of a Club Uno
shirt yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
It says Club.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Buno on the front the O and Uno. Yeah, interesting placement.
And then I'm taking my ball and.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Going home on the back. Okay, that I did see
a rough cut.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
We might want to start a what's it a five
oh one C or whatever. We might start Club Uno
for testicular. Oh, if we could, if we could get enough.
See I don't want enough guys who have gone through that, like,
I don't want to be rooting for that. No, no, no, no,
it's like a it's like a support awareness yes, raise
money kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yes, yeah, we could do that. Yes, and we could
raise money for uh you know.

Speaker 11 (09:19):
It's the only club where you can have a plus one.
Right there you go.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
The taglines are just writing themselves right up. By the way,
I'm being told that the grounds crew took the third base.
Uh that inning in between innings when Otani stole third
the grounds crew is like, here's a payday keeping this. Yeah,
and I love that somebody was keeping track of that.

(09:43):
Notice that, so we're not we're not getting third base there.
I never got to third base anyway. Oh, thank you Todd,
thank you. Yes, Paul, I want to look at this
from the other side. If you were show hey, Otani,
how much or how little would you want the ball
back if it was an option for you to pay

(10:04):
for the ball, Well, you have to act like you
don't want it right, like it's not that important. Hey,
I get seven hundred million dollars. It's nice to be
able to get back to the fans type of thing.
But if you do want to give me that, then great.
I'd love to be able to give you a bat
and a jersey, But would you.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Pursue it a little bit for a personal thing? It's
it's really special. He has unlimited funds. He could write
a check and.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I just wouldn't have his interpreter go after the old one. Yes, hey,
do I have a deal for you? Andrew and Washington.
Good morning Andrew, what's on your mind?

Speaker 8 (10:41):
Good morning Dan, Dan, it's happy to meet Friday. Thanks
for taking my call. Yeah, yesterday was a stop where
you were at sports moment. We were at work. We
had to open up the app and take a look
at what show he was doing. And right as we
opened it and the stat cast showed his fiftieth home
run going out of the going out of the building.
So that was pretty cool. Don't have any stats, you
covered them all. We have historic stats. But I did

(11:03):
have two questions. One a possible poll question maybe even
later on, but who had the most historic or impactful season?
Show Hey Otani or Caitlin Clark?

Speaker 10 (11:13):
And then a.

Speaker 8 (11:14):
Question for you, Dan, if you could have changed the
timing of either interview this week actually had Saquon Barkley
on after the Monday night game or talk to Dave
Roberts after show Hey's historic game. Which one would have
you changed and done the interview?

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I would take Saquon Barkley because I think that he
heard from Eagles fans that I mean, he felt some
hate and that was a tough, tough situation. Now now
it makes the job harder to kind of talk to
somebody who probably doesn't want to wax poetic about anything.

(11:50):
But as far as raw emotion, getting that after a
loss like that, he drops the ball, and that might
have brought about some pretty good radio. Dave Roberts is
going to be Dave Roberts. I mean, he would be
like it was unbelievable. I mean, I would love to
get that excitement there. But and I thought Otani was
breaking it this weekend, so I thought, let me get

(12:11):
Dave talking about the entire season, and that way we
can have that on record prior to and breaking the record,
and then we can revisit that later on. By the way,
here is show hey Otani and his interpreter. This is
after the game.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
You have six or six You had three home runs,
two doubles. At that that's five extra base hits, ten RBI.
What do you attribute to the success you had offensively today?

Speaker 12 (12:40):
Look at that there's home and.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Stayed in Misconmantle on to.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Tomw just get onnight.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
We're gonna it's not.

Speaker 10 (12:59):
Just to be honest, I'm the one probably most surprised.

Speaker 13 (13:03):
I have no idea where this came from, but I'm
glad that I performed well today.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Wait a minute, that answer has to be longer than that,
because his answer was longer than that. Right, It feels
like he gave us the cutdown very and then blah
blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
Yes, Paulie, we talked last year that Shoo Tani's translator
is one of the best gigs in sports, and it
didn't turn out so well because a month later, you
know what happened. Now it's even better. You just go
to work and don't gamble don't do anything.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, well, I gotta do a show up. Paulie had
this idea at the start of the season. So they're
in Korea they opened the season, and a couple of
weeks prior to the start of the season, and Paulie goes,
you know, the best job in sports, and we all
guessed he goes, no show. Hey, Tani's interpreter. We should
have him on to talk about how easy that job is.

(13:59):
You go from city to city, you get to watch
great baseball, you get paid really well. And then all
of a sudden, we're watching the games in Korea and
we're like, maybe it's not the best job in all
the sports. And so we didn't get him on, you know,
the the interpreter.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yes, DoD he said it was a special moment. I
was just talking for an hour.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
Yes, paul you get to go to Dodger Stadium eighty games,
to live in LA. To live in LA, you probably
stay in a guesthouse with Otani.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
You don't have to do anything other than Hey, they're
gonna ask me a couple of questions. I'll get and
I'll answer, even if you don't want to answer them
the way you know, they're asking you. I'll just make
up some you.

Speaker 11 (14:45):
Get tons of free gear, you get to travel, you
had it all.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, and if the opportunity presents itself to embezzel a
couple of million dollars, so you do a little something
on the side.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Thank you Tod. Yeah, it could have been the best game.
Best job. I always thought, you know, Jared ad Subway,
that's that would be a pretty good job. All you
do is show up and have the same sandwich you've
had and be a spokesperson. That's it. Just don't do

(15:15):
anything stupid but the interpreter, don't gamble, don't do anything.
It's pretty simple. Great gig, can't go wrong? All right?
Did I give you an opportunity to give us the
pole question for the final hour? Paulie did suggest this
to MLB Network that the show Heyo Tani game from
last night should be reaired on MLB Network. We just

(15:38):
heard from MLB Network Sunday morning at ten am Eastern
they're going to replay show Heyo Tani's game, so they'll
get it done before football games start on Thank you, Tom.
What do we have seton? Oh? We got rhyme time
coming up with Todd After Will Ferrell, we have up.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
There right now, more impressive fifty to fifty show Heyo
Tani or Albert Well. I just want to report Albertbell
right now, early results getting sixteen percent of the vote.
All right, Albert, Okay, Albertpell. Truthers are out there. You're
going to die on that hill. You are, You're gonna
die on that hill. It's his Tiki Barber.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, uh l Lulber.

Speaker 13 (16:17):
Bell was the first pristy fifty damn it. Yeah, one
of the most dangerous hitots. Yes, he was, yes years
and then he went to Joey Bell. I don't know
if he was as dangerous.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Did he have a corked bat and somebody went, you know,
went into the umpire's room and after they confiscated it
in Cleveland? Does that sound right? I think there was
something where he was using an illegal bat, the umpire
confiscated it, somebody went in and tried to steal it back,
and so it didn't go to Major League Baseball. They

(16:53):
thwarted the theft there. I'll get some of my best
people on it, see if that's actually true. Take a break.
Will Ferrell joins us next.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Today's Mercedes Benz Interview the Day brought to you by
Mercedes Benz. Mercedes Benz has an SUV for you. You can
visit mbusa dot com for special offers. There we mentioned
Albert Bell today, the first member of the fifty to
fifty Club with fifty homers in fifty doubles. I mentioned
that there was a time when they thought Albert Bell

(18:38):
was using a corked bat. This is nineteen ninety four
and it took place in Chicago. Jean Lamont, the White
Sox manager, was tipped off that Albert Bell was using
a corked bat, and he challenged Albert Bell's bat with
the umpire. Dave Phillips confiscated the bat locked it in
the umpire's dressing room. Well. The Indians, knowing the bat

(19:02):
was corked, sent relief pitcher Jason Grimsley to retrieve the bat,
took the bat belonging I guess he went the access
was above the clubhouse crawl space. He went in through
a false ceiling and he took the bat and then
returned a bat. I think he put Paul Sorrento's bat

(19:25):
in there and stole the Albert Bell corked bat. So
fifty to fifty doubles in Homer's Albert Bell with an
asterisk Seaton because there was a corked bat.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Oh what all of a sudden, thirty years later, people
are drudging up terrible lies and.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
No, that's true. They confiscated his bat.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Okay, well, which is worse is having a cork bat
or extra large basis?

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, well you didn't. He didn't enlarge the bases on
his own, right. He's just he has a league helping
him out rather than let's bring it voice reason. He's
Will Ferrell. He has a documentary, Will and Harper that
comes out next Friday, September twenty seventh, and Will's good
friend of thirty years, Harper Steele, comes out as a

(20:12):
trans woman and then they decide to go on a
road trip. The trailer looks awesome. Will Ferrell joining us
on the program. By the way, before we get to this,
Al Michaels was on yesterday. Okay, al Michaels said he
he's done everything he wants to do the Westminster Dog Show,

(20:33):
but he will he will do it if you do
it with him. Would you be willing to do the
Westminster Dog Show with Al Michaels.

Speaker 10 (20:41):
I would do that in a heartbeat. Yeah, there's no question. Okay,
all right, Well okay, how do we get this going?

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Paulie? Can you send you PAULI knows the person or
somebody there.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Yes, paul I'm tight with the dog people there. Well,
I broached them yesterday. They are on hold for your commitment.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Okay, I think it's go. I think this is green
light time.

Speaker 10 (21:06):
Well, will you guys be involved in any way?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
We would be there like a support you know, we'll
be support dogs, like we would be there for you
to keep you company.

Speaker 10 (21:18):
What I'm thinking live remote? I think I'm thinking you
guys do the show from the Westminster Dog Show, all right?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Done that either late precedes or follows. You know, we'll
have a post Westminster Dog Show like a wrap up show.

Speaker 10 (21:34):
And you can have guest trainers and guest dogs.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
And kind of like a Manning cast but for dogs
love it. Okay, So tell me how you came about this.
That the trailer looks great. And you've known Harper Steele
from Saturday Night Live day, so you've known him thirty
years now trans trailer.

Speaker 10 (22:01):
Yeah, yeah, we met. We met in nineteen ninety five.
We've known each other almost thirty years. She was one
of the first writers who befriended me at the show.
We joke about it in the dock that you know,
Saturay Night Live isn't necessarily a warm, fuzzy place, and

(22:23):
when you show up on the job, especially back then,
I think we had eight new cast members, an entire
brand new writing staff, and no one really told you
gave you marching orders. So I was kind of trying
to meet people and say hello, but it was not
I wouldn't say it was going well. In fact, I
found out later that people were like, what's up with

(22:44):
that guy? He seems nice, he doesn't seem very funny.
Harper Rper and I went to lunch one day and
we hadn't really met each other, and she was one
of the first people that I had kind of a
one on one and we were able to, She was
able to report back to the group of writers, going,
don't sleep on him. He's actually really funny. But that's

(23:07):
kind of that's kind of how we kicked it off.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, did you know she was coming out as a
trans woman.

Speaker 10 (23:14):
Well, she sent she sent an email out to you know,
our our friend group, probably three summers ago, simply with
the subject line and only the way a comedy writer
could do it.

Speaker 15 (23:31):
Hey, everyone, here's a weird one. And then proceeds that
at age fifty nine, I'm going to transition to be
a woman.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
And did you think you were being punked?

Speaker 10 (23:45):
There was? There was part of me that, for sure,
that's that's always that's always the knee jerk. And yet
as I as I read through the email again and again,
I couldn't figure out what the endgame would be here.
So I knew it was real, and I of course
reached out to her and said, wow, congrats, can't wait
to can't wait to see you. And it took it

(24:06):
took about that was during a it was during COVID,
So it took took a good six months for us
to finally kind of have coffee and have a face
to face and one of the things if you know,
If you know Harper, she loves taking cross country road trips.
That's as long as I've known Steel. She's driven. She's
allowed for time in her schedule to take five days

(24:27):
to go from LA to New York or back and forth.
And she was lamenting to another friend of ours that now,
as a trans woman, I don't know if I feel
safe going into the same dive bars I used to
not think twice about. And an idea popped into my
head when we when we first met, I said, Harper,

(24:47):
what if we take a road trip and it'll serve
two purposes you. I can maybe be a buffer for
you to go into these places that you're now experiencing
as Harper for the first time. At the same time,
I get a chance to ask you all the questions
that I have that I think a lot of us
have who who don't know anyone who's transit, or don't

(25:09):
know that we know anyone. And I go, please, I
expect you to say no, I'm not trying to exploit
our friendship. And she did. She said no, And then
I think the more she wrapped her head around it,
she thought, no, this could be this could be cool
and this could help me with my transition, and to
be quite frank, to not get too deep on it,

(25:33):
it would just be a blast to get someone to
pay for us, to take us up. So we did it,
and it is one of the more remarkable things I've
ever gotten to be a part of the response to this.
We've been at a number of film festivals and we
were just in London. We're going to do some more
promotion here in the States, and people are really responding

(25:56):
to this discussion that we have. Obviously we're talking about
the trans experience, but at the same time, it's really
just a movie about having your friends back. It's about friendship,
it's about advocacy, it's about it's really about civility, which
we're finding that everyone's thirsting for. Just let's just be

(26:20):
nice to each other. And it's really funny.

Speaker 15 (26:23):
We make funny fun of each other the entire road trip,
and yeah, it's I'm very proud of it.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Talking to Will Ferrell. The documentary comes out Friday, September
twenty seventh, that's called Will and Harper and Harper Steel
comes out as a trans woman and they embark on
a road trip. There is a great line in the
trailer where the fact that she's now a woman, you
ask if about her driving skills.

Speaker 10 (26:51):
Yes, yes, Immediately I say, now that you're a woman,
are you a worst driver? And she immediately starts to
dispute it and say, come on, give me a break,
and then she says, but yes.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I am risk for you and doing something like this.
I mean, it's not in your normal wheelhouse here, right.

Speaker 10 (27:17):
You know, I've thought about all the ramifications prior to
doing something like this, positive or negative. And you know, I,
once I kind of make a decision about any sort
of creative choice, or really any sort of life choice,
I'm not want to really look back and second guess it.

(27:39):
So yeah, possibly. At the same time, I think this
is an opportunity for someone who'd be considered part of
my audience, a chance to be educated in an area
that they wouldn't think about. Also, it helps when you're
kind of on the down side of your career. There's uh,

(28:03):
you know, I'm I'm I'm.

Speaker 15 (28:06):
A low a lister, high B list actor these days,
so I think there's no risk whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
When were you an a lister?

Speaker 10 (28:16):
Well that doesn't dan, Come on, I had a great run.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Well, I know, what, when did you become that a lister?
Was there? What was there a moment where you go, yep, honey,
I'm an a lister.

Speaker 15 (28:30):
Well, I that's my mantra. I tell myself that every
day I look in the mirror.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
But I by the way, your hair is looking Napoleon Dynamite,
like you're you're with the glasses and the hair. It's
never the same way twice.

Speaker 10 (28:50):
Yeah, Well that's the that's why.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Hollywood, that's an a lister.

Speaker 10 (28:54):
Yeah, don't cut your hair. You never know if you
need it long or short.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
But you did become an a lister at one point.

Speaker 10 (29:02):
I guess so, I guess it was. It was kind
of the It was kind of the trifecta of old
school Elf and Anchorman that that that put me on
the map and Elf.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
I mean, who would have thought, Well, you didn't think
that was gonna be.

Speaker 10 (29:21):
I I certainly didn't.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
That was career suicide. Probably could have been. I guess, well.

Speaker 10 (29:28):
I think we I think we talked about it and
how this is uh yeah, I I just remember sitting
in a very small trailer in New York kind of
the first week of filming, staring at myself with a
with a very dangerous space heater in the wall that

(29:50):
was sparking and thinking to myself, oh this this movie
better work or or or you're done?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Are you? Are you? You went a European soccer owner?
Now is it official?

Speaker 15 (30:03):
With it is official? So you're you're remember leads leads owners.
In fact, I just caught a match last weekend. Yeah,
and uh it was uh, it was fantastic. They they lost,
but so I hope I'm invited back. But no, amazing atmosphere,
you know, going over there watching those games are unlike

(30:26):
any other.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I'm not this These are preliminary talks, but somebody at
ESPN said they're thinking of doing a thirty for thirty
on our trip to Dublin and oh yeah, yeah, I
think this.

Speaker 10 (30:40):
Is our one year, one month anniversary.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yes, right around the time, Yes, yes, yes, your favorite
memory of going with this show to Dublin was.

Speaker 10 (30:53):
Favorite memory? Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Uh if you don't re remember anything, that's okay.

Speaker 15 (31:03):
I do remember. I do remember going to that. We
went to that whiskey bar.

Speaker 10 (31:12):
After one of the shows and we were having some
Keeper's Heart. But there was always was this collection of whiskeys,
and I remember we were standing out front and I
think we were I think we were having a cigar
out there in front. And I do remember geting you
to laugh because the police. There was a police car

(31:33):
coming down the road, and I just took off running
and everyone looked. Half the people thought, oh god, he's
really in trouble.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Did you have a yellow jumpsuit?

Speaker 15 (31:46):
And Dan, you were right there on the bed, you knew.
I always that's a go do move of mine. If
I hear a siren, I just take off start running.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
My favorite moment was seeing you and Brady Quinn wrestling.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
Well. Also to uh the uh the form tackle of
the Notre Dame coach when he lifted me three feet
off the ground. Oh, Marcus Freeman, Yeah, Marcus Freeman.

Speaker 2 (32:14):

own stunts. You're like Tom Cruise kind of.

Oh really, but I turned it down. I let Ryan.
I let Ryan do it.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (32:29):
Wait, I got a question, Dan, did you guys go
to Minneapolis?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (32:34):
Were you in a parade? Yes?

Speaker 2 (32:37):
What where was I I don't I always feel like
I asked too much of you.

Speaker 10 (32:43):
I would have been there in a heart I would
have I would.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Have you would have been there in a keeper's heart beat. Yes,
but yes I was the Grand Marshal.

Speaker 10 (32:56):
Oh you were the Grand Marshal. So you didn't want
you didn't want anyone getting in.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Your Maybe, okay, I get it. Probably so probably in retrospect,
I wanted the state. See, you're right, I didn't want
you there. Yeah, I didn't want you there. Next year,
Next year, I.

Speaker 10 (33:16):
Want to be I want to be on my own
float way in the back.

Very exciting. Uh, this is a this is a real
litmus test for us. What do you say?

Speaker 15 (33:56):
I mean?

Speaker 10 (33:57):
It all comes down to stopping to run.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Right and playing good defense and protecting the football.

Speaker 10 (34:04):
But I'm not talking about football. I'm talking about in life.
All comes down is stopping the run.

Good luck with the movie the documentary. It's on Netflix.

Minor league base that's it. That's like in the nineteen twenties.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Let's see Billy jan King defeated Bobby Riggs the Battle
of the Sexes. That was nineteen seventy three. Now there's
so many stort well, not so many, but there's all
these conspiracy theories that Bobby Riggs had gambling debts and
may have thrown the match against Billy jan King. Whether
that's true or not, but I think that there were

(39:53):
stories that came out, and Bobby Riggs was considerably older
than Billy jen King. But that was a big deal
in the Astrodome. That was a big moment. Nineteen seventy three.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
All right, seating, what about you who cares? Wow, why

I'm going to go fifty five fifty five. Actually, I'm
gonna do less with the home runs. I'm gonna go
fifty five. You know what, I don't know. If he
runs anymore, he might be done. I'm gonna guess two

(40:52):
more home runs, one more stolen base. Paulie, what about you?
