(00:44):
and you play for the Baltimore Orioles, and you're in Toronto,
or as they say, if you're from there, Toronto. I
don't use the extra because you know, I've been there
several times this year, so I know I'm basically from
a lady in there, not yet lady in the streets,
freaking the bed. No, I mean, I I'm not opposed
to it, though I do like Canadian women.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't know, you're going to Canada a decent amount. Well,
I went once for work.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I went once with my neighbors for the for the
for the swinging convention, right, and then I went and
then I might go back this weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I like it. There's a nice place.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's not that far away, and it's a nice place,
and it feels a little it feels a little international,
you know, because because theoretically it is, but it's but
it's not, you know what I'm saying, Like you kind
of feel like you went somewhere far away. Now Montreal
would be even, like that's where you want to go.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yes, Okay, everybody's having their bachelor parties there.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I guess, Well that's because they have strip what is
alleged to be the greatest strip clubs in the world.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Oh, then yes, I do want to go. And it's
very French.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It actually it feels very international there, like I think
the primary language is French. They don't they don't. I
don't think think that they're Canadian. I don't think they
think they're anything but what they are, like, I think
they're their own They're like Texas, they're their own country.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I heard they have good food. Like I'm trying to go. Oh,
let's go. Let's load it up and go. So you're
in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You play for the the Orioles, and there are it's
a double header, so there are two games in one day,
like like an aston game in a night game. So
you play the afternoon game and you're in the locker
room with your your teammates on the Orioles. You're having
a nice time, and you get a phone call. Hey,
you've been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. So get
up and walk take your stuff and walk down the hall.
(02:17):
Now you playing for the other team now. And so
that's what happened. The guy said, yeah, I was after
the first game. I was in there with the guys.
They called me and say, hey man, you got trade
to go to the next dugout. So he got up,
walked down the hall, changed uniforms and played one inning
against his old team in the same day on a
new team.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That would be like us walking across the street, you know,
in the same day.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Right, That's it would be like us doing this show
and then they're like, hey, you got traded to the
crappy station. And then we had to walk down the
street and work at the crappy station.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
That's wild. That would be terrible and I'd be like tired,
you know.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I feel like that's like getting sent to the minor leagues.
So you know, I mean, it would be like, I
don't know, being demoted somehow all I mean, by the way,
I can't say it will never happen because you know
this place, who knows. But working is working. I mean,
let's face it, but it's working. That's the smartest working
is working.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I actually dated I've told the story before, but I
dated a girl. And I don't know if this has
ever happened before in Major League Baseball, in Major League
Baseball history, but I dated a girl who had a
hit on in for two major league teams in the
same day he got traded. I think I can't remember
how it all went down. I could look it up,
but I want to say he was playing for like
he was playing for one team. They were here and
(03:37):
after the afternoon game he got traded and they're like, hey,
and this is back in the day when it was
like they weren't using pg's as much as they whatever.
They were like, hey, there's and I think he got
traded in like the Mets or something. So it's like, hey,
there's a flight to New York from oharea, leaves in
an hour. Go get on your you're now on the Mets.
Get out of here, go get on that plane. So
he made the flight, landed, when it took him to
(03:58):
the thing they put he put a uniform all and
he hit another made another hit for another team in
another state on the same day.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That's a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Like that's wild, Like can you imagine, Like I don't
think people realize, and I guess it's part of professional sports,
but can you imagine that just one and this is
how it comes. And you're making a lot of money,
I know, and YadA YadA, but you know, not everybody
who gets traded is like everyone's making a lot of money,
but not everyone who's traded is making Lebron James, you know,
fifty million dollar money. But like you're sitting there one
(04:29):
day and they're like, hey, you now you know you
play for the Lakers. Hey, now you play for the
Miami Heat. So so get out of here, jump on
the Hey, they're gonna call you in a minute until
you walcome me to the team. You get on a plane,
pack a bag and go to the Miami Heat now,
and you just got to leave your house and you
just now you live in Miami.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Like that, I can't say goodbye to my friends like
it is one single day and you had no say.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Or you could be on the number one team and
get traded to the last place team, or you could
be on the last place team and somehow get grouped
into a trade on the best team. So then you
go from I guess the baseball trading deadline was? Was
it yesterday? I don't know, this is all happening. There
were a lot of trades yesterday. So I'm not a
big baseball guy, but I mean that that could happen.
Like you could be on the worst team in the
league and then somehow you get packaged into a deal
and now you're like competing for a World Series and
(05:14):
you're like, oh, okay, well I do want to You
don't get to say no, that's just how it is.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Can you just quit? No? Well, I mean yes, you
could just be Yeah. I suppose like if I like
had all my family and everything in Miami. Like I'm
not picking up a moving Ohio for Miami. Like I'm good.
I guess I'm down here.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I mean, you are for eight months of the year
or whatever because you're getting paid well and you worked
hard to get there.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It could work out very well and it could work
out very poorly. I mean, but I will be will
be wild to me. It's like, oh, I live in
Minnesota now, oh okay, at like my house and everything,
and I'm sure that they pay to have people come
pack your stuff up. But imagine if you had like
a wife and kids and you're like, hey, like I
got to leave you like, hey.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Honey, I'm moving.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You know, you guys can come or keep the kids
in school and I'll come visit sometimes.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I don't know, but we live. We live in Uhland, right.
We live in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Now. Like you you were, you were living log in
Orlando playing for the Magic you know, you were crushing it,
living in New York City playing with the Knicks. You're like,
this is great, and then they're like, and nothing against Cleveland,
but they're like, hey, uh, you're you've been traded to
the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now granted they won the finals,
they won the championship, which is cool, but like you know,
(06:24):
if you're familiar with the beach and then they're like,
you live in Oklahoma City. Now that's that's a that's
a pretty significant change. But anyway, this guy had hey
head down the hole, man, head down the home.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You play for a different team, that be so crazy?
Are the people welcoming like the new team? Like are
they like get on in here? Well, I'm sure yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And then again, you got to remember that you're replacing
they traded you for someone, or they traded someone for you,
so like maybe there's a guy on the team everyone
loved who they just traded and now you're the guy
who just have it in Dallas right where they traded
Luka Doncic, who everybody in Dallas loved, loved the guy.
I mean he was just like even though you I
mean whatever, people had their issues with him, but like
they just loved him.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
They thought he was the greatest ever.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And they trade him for Anthony Davis, who's also an
incredible player. But even Anthony David shows up, but he's
like really like everybody, no one like hates me, but
like they do because like now I'm taken over for
the legend, Like no one's happy about this, and I'm
the guy that has to come in there and like
try and be the hero now and make everyone like
me because they traded, you know, they got rid of
(07:28):
your boy.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
That would be hard, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
They talk about that, like in the radio business, in
media business a lot of times too. It's like if
a show does really well for a long time and
then the person gets fired or retires or whatever, then
it's like who wants to go in after that?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, Like I don't want to, I mean, but that's it.
Then again, that seems to be what happens with us
all the time.
This is the pread show.
