Speaker 4 (03:23):
But today we're doing Rangers.

Speaker 8 (03:24):
That's a regular.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
We have good news for you. We're all really locked
in on your Rangers content and we've really got you
squared away. I looked it up and they lost last night.
And that's very sad.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
It is.

Speaker 8 (03:35):
Unfortunately, say they play.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
They lost six to one to.

Speaker 8 (03:39):
The Kansas City right.

Speaker 10 (03:40):
I thought I saw that which I'm headed after this
show was back below five hundred.

Speaker 8 (03:45):
That's right, the Texas Rangers. You know what that means?

Speaker 10 (03:47):
A local team. That means they've lost one more game
and they've won. That's universal a good start, Sam, you
got a good start.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
So depending how bad this show goes, I did bring
in an Evan Carter rookie cards and it's like a
three hundred dollars card, and I was considering just giving
it to somebody who's watching as an apology.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
Oh wow, I tell your friends to come in here
watch this show. Right now, Jeff's giving away merch.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Why does Jeff's hair look like you just woke up?
Because I did.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
We've been trying too.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I have been watching Yellowstone. I'm trying to get to
Casey's hair and he has longer hair, and you have
to fight through this stage. And so I was just
going to be a hat guy, but I decided to think,
who cares? So what how are your guys as Rangers?

Speaker 8 (04:37):
I heard they made a big trade. They did make
a big trade to make the.

Speaker 10 (04:41):
News of the big trade, supposed to inform me I
want to He was supposed to be on the show.

Speaker 8 (04:45):
Guy, do you want what was this bust.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Today?

Speaker 11 (04:53):
No?

Speaker 8 (04:54):
Way is that? Oh it is? Those are the Texas.

Speaker 10 (05:00):
There are a couple of Texas, Josh and Jonah him
hugging each other after the Yeah we're doing serious, serious
Rangers podcast.

Speaker 8 (05:09):
We're working, Jill asked. J asked, if you're okay in
Kavanaugh because of your hair?

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, I'm fine.

Speaker 8 (05:16):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
The Rangers traded away a big time prospect. I use
the word big time very loosely because I have no
idea who this person is. But they did trade a
guy named Nolan Hoffman, not a triple am. He had
a six E r A and so he wasn't doing great.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
I feel like Nolan's a top tier baseball name, that
is a.

Speaker 8 (05:39):
Name Ranger name.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
They traded him away for cash, which usually means you're
not very good. Damn get a player or pickback. They
just gave us like a twenty.

Speaker 8 (05:49):
Can we just save some money, Just give us some
money back exactly.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
So the Rangers are now okay, I don't know what
this question is, Kelly Man, what's up with prim trader
call up involvement, like, if that's a real name and
a player, I'm real Sorry, I'm gonna text around again.

Speaker 8 (06:12):
No, he's had enough of clearance today. He's probably I'm
gonna google it.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah, okay, we're gonna google all of your Rangers.

Speaker 8 (06:20):
If you have a real question. Blaine Krim is a
baseball player.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
We're gonna chat GPT this thing and figure it out.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
Okay, all right, how's he doing?

Speaker 4 (06:31):
He's out there.

Speaker 10 (06:33):
I think he's playing for the Rangers as well. Rare
is That is a real player here too. Oh he's
got if that's him, he's got an excellent.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
Mustache, sash guy.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Oh he does.

Speaker 8 (06:43):
Yeah, he has an excellent mustache. Man. That makes sense.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
He's got a good OPS in minor leagues this year.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
This is know what OPS stands for?

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Sam?

Speaker 8 (06:53):
What is opst?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
What does OPS stand for?

Speaker 9 (06:58):
Don't go you can't google it is uh?

Speaker 10 (07:03):
I still can't get it. On base plus slugging, that's right, that's.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
Correct, that's right.

Speaker 10 (07:08):
That's what you're on base percentage if I remember it correctly,
that's what it is.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, yes, And you do not want to get into
the intricacies of slugging percentage. If you have no idea
what ugging?

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Wait, I think I can explain it. Let's go plugging.
You get like a amount.

Speaker 9 (07:25):
Per base So if you hit a double, you get something,
and if you have a triple or a home run,
that each or something. So if you have like a
slugging percentage like you wanted to be, I think over
five hundred because that means you're getting like extra base hits.

Speaker 8 (07:36):
Oh if you yes, yes, yes, you wanted to be
over five hundred. Yes.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
If you hit a single, your slugging percentage is one
point zero zero zero, which they would call in baseball
A thousands know it's one point zero zero zero. And
if you hit a double it would be two point
zero zero zero. And if you hit a triple would
be three point zero zero zero. And if you hit
a home run, your slugging percentag would be four point
zero zero zero and it would be the best slugging
percentage ever.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
Was this percentage for.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (08:07):
That's excellent. That's excellent breakdown right there.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, so we got yeah, we got you, Dominie. This
is going to be a long show.

Speaker 10 (08:15):
Let me tell you, let me tell you something can
I tell you guys something about Texas Rangers. Oh you
got some information, let's call Texas Rangers were founded in
nineteen sixty.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
From Arlington, Texas.

Speaker 10 (08:26):
Oh my gosh, and they won the World Series in
twenty twenty three. According to chat GBT, finally, as the
fan base was very defeated for a lady, was the
last time they won.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
Before that, finally, never they had never won.

Speaker 8 (08:39):
A worst ever, that was the first ever.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Worst was the worst year in the history of.

Speaker 10 (08:46):
Sports when they lost part well, I mean the Mavers
won the NBA Finals that year.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
I didn't care because.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
Of what happened, because of what happened later on that Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Didn't care because I knew what would happen later.

Speaker 8 (08:58):
Oh wow, you knew what was going to happen.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
So in twenty ten, the Rangers made the World Series.
They played against the Giants and we lost. And I
think I represent all of Rangers fan base when I
say that didn't bother me at all, Like, it was
so cool to be in the World Series and the
Giants were better than us, And so then the next year,
now we are the best team in baseball or one
of And by the time he got to the postseasons
like no, no, no, no, no, like getting to the World

(09:21):
Series only nothing.

Speaker 8 (09:22):
We got to the World Series.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
And we're better than the Cardinals standard to the Cardinals
sucked Yeah twice?

Speaker 9 (09:28):
Which one was which was a Nelson Craze one game six,
Game six of the of the World Series against Yeah,
and Wash had told him like eleven times, hey back up,
Hey back up, and Washed said that the twelfth time
he forgot to tell him and then he didn't back up.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
It was crazy.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
I love the news were breaking today.

Speaker 8 (10:10):
Two big trades, massive trades that happened today.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Wild.

Speaker 10 (10:16):
But what I do know about Texas Rangers is that
their bats have woken up. That's a real thing, that
is actually a real They fired their coach they on
May fourth, Then they hired a podcaster. They did they
they literally hired a podcaster as their coach who used
to play base manager.

Speaker 8 (10:34):
No, it's coach now.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
No, the manager is not fired. The manager's first boat
will never get fired. They fired the hitting coach.

Speaker 8 (10:41):
That's right, because now they're back.

Speaker 10 (10:44):
And then they hired a podcaster who used to be
a baseball player, and he's their hitting coach and they
they're hitting the crap out of the ball. His brother
is Oh, geez, Brett Boone is the name. Aaron Boone
is the manager of the Yankees. Daniel Boone by Boone
was their father who used to be a manager of
the baseball knowledge person is sitting behind the computer.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
That's right.

Speaker 10 (11:11):
Yes, Aaron Boone is the manager of the Yankees. His
sons or his son, his brother Brett, is now the
hitting coach for the Texas Rangers. Their dad, Bob used to
be a catcher and used to manage the Reds at
one point.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
And the great great grandpa Daniel Boone Frontiersman.

Speaker 10 (11:25):
The Boones are like one of the first families of
baseball type of thing, like the Mannings, like you know,
one of the first families of the NFL, like Peyton Manning,
Eli Manning, Archie Manning, the boones are Yeah.

Speaker 11 (11:36):
We.

Speaker 8 (11:38):
Got we got it. We got it.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
We're already squared away.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Uh my guy Evan Carter, I need you guys know that.
My guy Evan Carter.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
He's been balling.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
He's falling as he's saving the season, just like he
saved the season, uh when uh we won the world.

Speaker 8 (11:56):
He's in like over five hundred in his last seven
eight games, like Evan Carter has been. Oh you do
I know right exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
What are we doing?

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (12:08):
No, Evan Carter. So he came, So Evan Carter. This
is very sad for a man who owns a card
that costs a lot of money. Because I bought four
of them.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
Oh he was a rookie.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
I had my friend Mike Bassett because he's into the
card game.

Speaker 8 (12:20):
Is he coming on the show later?

Speaker 4 (12:22):
I guess we could tease that.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
Yeah, yeah, why not?

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah? I guess you should tease when you're having guests.

Speaker 8 (12:26):
Right, otherwise everyone's gonna leave.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
We don't know what's happening. They just told us to
do the Rangers show. So I called Mike Bassett and
I was like, could you come on the show and
we'll be like, what's up with the Rangers and he'll
be like yeah, and he'll be here. And so also,
and I call my friend Mike Reiner because he likes
the Rangers, and he was like yeah, So like we'll
have people on who know what's happening. But I had
Mike Bassick buy me four Evan Carter's because I decided

(12:50):
when he was in the minors that this is my
guy and then he was going to save our franchise forever.
And so I spent like four or five hundred bucks
on four cards and how much I sold three of
them after the World Series for like six hundred bucks,
so it had already turned a profit. And I like
each and I kept the most expensive one, okay, And
so this one back then was worth like four hundred.

Speaker 9 (13:11):
So if they turn it around and he becomes like
World Series MVP, this this would.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Be worth one million dollars, right. But then but then
this year started and he was so awful that they're like,
maybe we just don't put you on the baseball team,
and they sent him to the miners. And I'm like,
the guy who saved the season and was the hitter
in the playoff, well see, and I'm like and now

(13:37):
you're just not gonna put him on the team. But
he can't hit lefties, never has been able to. And
so they threw him into the miners and he sucked
there and I was like, oh god, then three, but
then he got it cranked back up, and so they
brought it back up, and then he sucked, and then
he strained his squad. And then he came back from
having strained his squad.

Speaker 8 (13:55):
And he's up.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah, so now were ready to rock.

Speaker 10 (14:00):
It was a little dicey for Carter because at one
point he had like a trick back like your knees,
you know, like you got trick young man.

Speaker 8 (14:06):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I saw this guy walking across the
street the O eight.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
It looks so bad across the street. Are you hurt?

Speaker 10 (14:14):
He almost didn't get there before the timer ended on
the crossblock, which is for like elderly people. These are
like goldbergs being held together by duct tape and bubblegum.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
At this point, the doctor told me I should get
it replaced, and I was like, but mother, doctor told me,
like a complete knee replace, totally replacing other doctor told
me I'm too young to. He was like, you're not.
He's like people do that now. He's like, but you'd
have to stop doing some of the stuff.

Speaker 10 (14:38):
The fact that there's an age requirement for replacements kind
of wild because they last.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Like thirty years and then he had to get another
one and putting the first one in is no problem
because it's all the existing things are there. But yeah,
the second one is not as.

Speaker 10 (14:48):
Good, so you don't have enough, like in your own
knees to like build your.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
Who let's just hit an AD, let's do an AD break.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah, yeah, we still have to do that to Mike.
Basset's gonna join us and he knows what's going on
with the Rangers. He'll break you all the news.

Okay a cool baseball.

Yeah, Sam has two hats on.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
And I'd like to apologize for the first section where
we gave you nothing. That's a big Ranger fan.

Speaker 8 (17:43):
A whole history for you.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
Literally zero insight. But since it's this day at All
Cities Musical Chairs Day, we all got put on different
shows and so I just booked guests to try to
get somebody who knows what the hell's actually happening, and
we got AG and we got KG. So I would
like to introduce Mike Bassick for Texas Rangers and Current

(18:05):
what are the words? Color analyst of your Rangers broadcasts
My Mike Basic.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Hey, what's up? Jeff Kevin and the two other people?

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Hey, what's up with the Rangers? How are they?

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Man?

Speaker 4 (18:19):
They're good?

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Or what?

Speaker 7 (18:21):
Well?

Speaker 5 (18:21):
I was watching y'all show, and you guys have broken
down slugging percentage when the Rangers made the playoffs. Let's
see what else the tree? Once Jeff pulled out is
Evan Carter Card. Then I pulled out my computer to

(18:42):
call you guys.

Speaker 10 (18:45):
I gave him a whole rundown of the Boom family tree.
And like boombeam On, the first family is of baseball.
They're not like the Bassic family, but you know, just
a whole rundown of the Boom family tree of baseball.

Speaker 7 (18:55):
Yeah, so the.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Major question is what's up with the Rangers.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
I feel like I'm gonna do an interview like I
feel like you would do an interview, which is just
give up questions, what's the deal with the Rangers?

Speaker 5 (19:09):
Like me doing Stars, like the Stars are really good.
But I'll have I guess is where my ego comes
in here. I was watching the NHL Finals last night.

Speaker 10 (19:21):
Yeah, you might as well to say championship games.

Speaker 8 (19:27):
That's what you might said, championship games.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
And so I was watching it and I'm like, oh,
this is how normal people watch all sports. Like I'm
just watching and I'm like, oh, they're skating good and
they're hits the puck and it's fun. Like I know
that they're great, they're unbelievable, they're sport, but I can't
break down anything. And I'm like, it reminds me to
be honest on my job. That's how most people are

(19:50):
watching baseball games are like I enjoy baseball. You'll have
different variances of the education of watching the game. And
they understand there's three outs and four balls and three strikes,
and so I understand off sides and you know, I
kind of get slashing and stuff like that and penalties,
but it's like I don't know why this guy is
good or what he's good at or why, and so

(20:12):
it just kind of reminded me of watching the Stanley Cup.

Speaker 8 (20:16):
Yeah that's right, that's right. Yeah, you're doing great?

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Is well?

Speaker 8 (20:21):
He who is Stanley? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (20:25):
He came up with cups, And so when hockey decided
they wanted to give out a cup, they shouted out Stanley,
the cups that you buy at the store, the good ones.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
Yeah, did you say they already dented?

Speaker 8 (20:38):
They broke They fully broke it.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
They broke it.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
They broke the Stanley.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
Almost as Craig nineteen ninety nine. They broke it.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Well, Mike, I'm a firm believer that the reason that
you're awesome at your job is that because you're better
than people who just talk about baseball, because you're a
whole ass psycho and like, but I mean that in
like a fun way where I don't know, you've watched
a lot of sports, and I feel like your announcers,
if they're dry or if they are too deep into
the game, like you're talking about like you know that

(21:09):
you're talking to everybody. You're not talking to somebody who
knows everybody's ops and what somebody's doing against lefties, and
you can talk about that, but you're also just a goofy,
wild person, and that's why I think that you're wonderful
at your job.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Yeah, and thank you. And I think that Dave Raymond
does a great job of getting the most out of me.
And I had a lot of fun with Jared Sandler.
It's almost that's weird that Jared and I got to
do a whole series together, which was really fun, and
as he was my intern when I was the producer
of the Norm Hitchkis Show when we were a lot younger.

(21:47):
But let me get to your question and I will
answer what's up with the Rangers?

Speaker 4 (21:51):
What's up with the Rangers?

Speaker 5 (21:53):
They struggle to hit, which is pretty part.

Speaker 8 (21:57):
Of the game. It's part of the.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
What's that that's part of the game. You're gonna want
to be able to need to hit?

Speaker 6 (22:04):
Puzzle, I'm trying to put it.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Okay, Jeff, what are the Cowboys going to be good
at this year?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Not running the ball, probably short, probably passing the ball?

Speaker 5 (22:16):
All right, So you're assuming, and I'm not saying that's
the wrong assumption. You're assuming, like, if there's one thing
I can count on the Cowboys in twenty twenty five
would be they're gonna be able to throw the ball.
They're gonna be able to move the ball around in
the air, and there's gonna be some other things I'm
worried about, like the running game, or maybe the cornerback
situation or something like that. But that's what the Rangers.

(22:41):
We weren't worried about the offense going into the season.
We're like, it's going to be a good offense. We're
worried about the health of the starting pitching. The bullpen
was a bunch of random guys thrown together with not
a lot of money and said here it is Boach,
and Boach was like before the season and before spring trending,
He's like, I pretty much know nobody in my bullpen

(23:02):
have no clue what they can do, and I'm going
to try my best to figure it out in spring
training and early on in the season. And then that's
been good. Pitching has been great. And the thing we
thought would be the consistent or the part that could
carry this team would be offense. And it's one of
the worst offenses in baseball. And it's not the worst,

(23:26):
but it's it's in the bottom five teams in baseball
and offense, so that's what's going on. They can pitch,
they can play defense, and they struggle to hit, and that's.

Speaker 10 (23:36):
Where all the money is Mike. This team is second
in era in baseball at three point one five. But
at the same time, I know, right, yeah, exactly, how
concerned are you that this starting staff is as tax
as it is having weight having to wait on this
offense to start to come around me. It is what

(23:58):
you know, Evan Carter, Marcus, you guys are start to
turn aroun Yeah, now concerned as we get toward, you know,
into July and the rest of the year, that this
starting staff is going to be as tax as they
are as they tried to keep up with you in
the first half of the year.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah, very concerned because this is the only reason they're
five hundred. They should be the Baltimore Orioles if the
pitching wasn't doing what they were doing. And if you
don't know the Baltimore Orioles, they were supposed to be
a playoff contender. They've made the playoffs the last two years,
and they have gotten off to a horrible start and
are not going to recover because of the horrible start,
and Jacob de Gram has an innings limit. Tyler Mallley

(24:32):
is now hurt, and he's been hurt quite a bit
in his career. Recently and he also has an innings limit,
so in a weird way, I guess the injury could
help out his innings limit because he's not going to
pitch for a while. We know Nathan Valdi's awesome, but
we also know that he has to miss starts during
the season. His body cannot kind of give you that
thirty plus start season that you need, so he's missing

(24:55):
starts right now. And then you have the unknowns, which
I do like their talent, but I can't rely on
them or count on them every fifth day to be good.
To great is Lighter and Rocker. They've shown at times
to be very good pitchers who could be great down
the road. So I don't think this pitching staff can

(25:18):
carry this team the rest of the way. And at best,
even if they kept doing what they're doing, they're going
to win eighty to maybe eighty five games, and that
won't make the playoffs. They're hitting has to come around
or they're going to lose close to ninety games.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
So do you think that they need to invest more
into Lighter and Rocker or like kind of move on
from that.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
No, they were the number two and number three overall pick.
They're called the Van boys, So they have to find
a way to develop their own for financial reasons because
they're up against the you know, I don't I call
it luxury tax. I know it's another word, but apron.
They're up against an apron and they cannot go over

(26:04):
it and will not go over it no matter what,
because this would be the third year of going over it,
and the penalties are very harsh. There's draft penalties, there's
international spending penalties. There you get taxed more ongoing over
so they really can't get rid of young players that
are on small contracts. I wouldn't be surprised if they

(26:28):
moved guys that. You're like, wait a second. You guys
are considering trading Tyler Malley, he's having an All star year.
You guys are considering trading John Gray, he just came
back from injury. You guys are considering trading somebody who's
making six or seven million dollars here and there. And
it's like, yeah, because if we're going to add anything,

(26:52):
it's really tough. They're gonna have to subtract something to
add something, and usually you don't get better in baseball
doing that.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Mike, I have a dumb question, which is my favorite
kind of question is is hitting contagious? And how important
is it having badasses in front or behind you in
a lineup? Because what I wonder about is Wyatt Langford,
who I'm I still think that he's going to be
a stud. But with the way that he is playing
right now with an ops that is what slightly below

(27:22):
league average batting two thirty. Is he on the trajectory
that you think, want hope that he needs to be on,
or like, what is his current and future outlook in
your eyes?

Speaker 5 (27:36):
I still like him for the future, but I thought
he'd have a better year this year. So you are
almost halfway through the season, and to me, he's not
reaching expectations this year almost like every hitter. The only
hitter that's maybe reaching expectations or exceeding is Josh Smith.
That's literally and last year he was the only guy

(27:57):
who met and really he exceeded expectations last year for
Wyatt Langford. They say this, I've got to know the
analytic people a little bit better traveling with the team,
and it's something I want to understand more because it's
so prevalent in the game. I still think they rely
on it too much. And I think all sports, obviously baseball,

(28:18):
I think is coming back to the mean. That's why
Brett Boone was hired. They're like, we actually need to
have somebody who's actually hitting the major leagues to explain
how to hit in the major leagues, right, And so
they say, analytic people say, it doesn't matter who hits
behind you or who hits in front of you.

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Oh what.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
I understand where they're coming from. I understand the stats
that they're coming from. But I look at it this way.
If I'm on the mound as a major leaguer and
I got to do that a few times, and I
give up two ground ball hits. Okay, they weren't hit
very hard. I thought I made a pretty good pick.
But those two guys are on base. I have first

(29:02):
and third and nobody out. I don't have a sense
of confidence on the mound that I'm getting these guys
out even though they haven't made good contact. They've both
made it on base. Now, analytic people would tell you
you've done an awesome job. You have done great. They
haven't hit the ball well, but there's first and third
and nobody out. Now if I give up a line

(29:24):
drive to center field, but it's caught. And then a
rocket to my first basement and it's caught. They're like,
you're pitching really bad, And I understand you don't want
to just live off of results, but you know what
I'm feeling. I got two outs and nobody on so
my confidence is growing a little bit. So where I'm
getting on this is I get confused on analytics and

(29:46):
then the human nature of sports and how there's no
correlation at all. And that's always the big disconnect in
all sports, whether it's football, basketball, hockey, there's a big
disconnect on those and they're both valuable, But where's my
guy's confidence at For Wyatt Langford, it doesn't matter that
he hits it one hundred and ten and he hits

(30:06):
it right to the left fielder and the analytic apartment
says that was awesome. You know what he's doing. He's
sitting his butt on the bench because he didn't get
on base and that's not making him feel good. And
when he hits a little blooper over the second basement's head,
he knows he got jammed, but he knows he's on
first base and he's contributing to the team, possibly scoring
a run. So I think these guys right now, the

(30:29):
contagious part. They need to get on base somehow, some way.
But it's really weird because they're told just like in
any job, if you're told to do this and not
do that, it's really tough for the brain to go.
But I just want to get on base, but they're
telling you getting on base in certain ways is bad.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
That's weird.

Speaker 8 (30:52):
Sam.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
I know you looked up burning questions for the Texas Rangers.
You're just gonna have to save it for the next guests.

Speaker 8 (30:58):

Jesus man who says that baseball is a talking sport.
The great and powerful Mike Reiner show.

Speaker 7 (34:09):
Up baseball boys and lady. I didn't know baseball, base ball, baseball, baseball, baseball.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
I don't think you could hear it, but we just
played your baseball song, Mike.

Speaker 8 (34:24):
I heard it, okay.

Speaker 7 (34:27):
I didn't know we were going to get into a
bunch of taint talk in front of a lady.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Well, it was in a commercial break, and so you
have to do what you know this, You have to
do what the sponsor once done, is that if those
are the copy points, those are the copy points.

Speaker 8 (34:44):
I didn't make a.

Speaker 7 (34:47):
Talk taint gat.

Speaker 10 (34:53):
Mike Reiner is good to see you, and I have
to tell this story real quick because I knew I
arrived in this business when Mike Reyner pulled me aside
one day he said, Kevin, go, you're doing a damn
good job.

Speaker 8 (35:01):
And I like what you're doing. My career was made
right there. So I had to make sure next time.

Speaker 10 (35:05):
I said, I haven't seen you in quite some time,
but you pulling me aside and telling me that made
my career because getting the Mike Ryiner rub is not
an easy feats in this business, and I appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (35:17):
Now you are doing a damn good job. I've never
known you not to.

Speaker 8 (35:21):
I appreciate that. Man. What about when we tell you
that it's not it don't hit the same?

Speaker 10 (35:26):
It don't hit the same when it's not coming from
my No, But I appreciate your year.

Speaker 8 (35:30):
I got you for sure, Mike.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
I'm gonna ask you a pressing and really tough Rangers question.

Speaker 8 (35:37):
Let's do it.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
What's the deal with the Rangers?

Speaker 7 (35:44):
This has been the most man bites dog baseball experience
I think I have ever had. I've almost never gone
into a season where everything I thought to be true

(36:06):
and everything there was any way it could be true
is true. And it's a whole lot more than just true.
I mean, the whole script has been flipped. And it's freaky. Man,
it's freaky. This team can pitch, they can't hit. Who knew?

Speaker 8 (36:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yeah, and that's that's Uh. I got to get back
in on it just in case they want me to.
After this this show that I'm putting on, I think
they're gonna want me to do as you back. The're
gonna want me to do The Rangers show more often,
and so I'm just really trying to lock in.

Speaker 7 (36:44):
The Rangers show more often. Well, when I the fact
that you ever watched the game this year, I've watched.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
I watched parts of a couple.

Speaker 10 (36:53):
You knew that they lost the casey, I didn't know
who they played and lost up that they lost last night,
But before that, they sweat somebody, and that's fun, you know,
that's really fun.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
And so all I'm doing is just hoping that Evan
Carter does a good job so that the value of
my rookie card goes up.

Speaker 8 (37:10):
That's what I'm hoping.

Speaker 7 (37:11):
He's killing it. He's killing it. He's made a big
difference in this thing.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
Do you think they can turn it around?

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Yeah, Mike, No, I don't.

Speaker 10 (37:20):
Oh wow, I love the uber positive, but Evan Carter's
ballats the Rangers actually cannot turn these around at all.

Speaker 7 (37:29):
I think the problems with this thing or deep enough
to where if they could turn it around, we would
know it by now. We would have seen some sign
of it.

Speaker 8 (37:37):
I would have.

Speaker 7 (37:40):
For whatever reason, this team just can't hit.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
But you you had, like when we went to that
one random charity event that I forgot what it was.

Speaker 8 (37:50):
You had No.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
That was Mike Maddicks, wasn't it. Wow, it was Reiner,
But I mean, I don't remember if it was Mike Maddics.
I thought you've met Boach at some point, Like you're
supposed be a Boach believer. You're supposed to believe that
that man can do anything.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
I am a Boach believer. But this is too much
for him, I promise you. At no time in Bruce
Boji's career has he ever had a situation where a
whole side of the team cratered like they're doing right now.

Speaker 8 (38:21):
Yeah, let me ask question that.

Speaker 7 (38:24):
The thing about it is, what do we say about
the Rangers? What what has been the Rangers? The mantra
about the Rangers for years and years and.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Years mash the ball, try to get to the playoffs
and get swept by the Yankees.

Speaker 7 (38:40):
That for sure the script. But the mandra is, what
are they gonna spend some money and get some pitcheon
in here?

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, well, they spend.

Speaker 7 (38:50):
Some money, they got some pigeon in here, and that
pigeon is doing great. But they're scoring one run a game.

Speaker 8 (38:57):
So let me ask you, Mike, because this is an
excellent segue. My question.

Speaker 10 (39:00):
The Texas Rangers played the Minnesota Twins. That's Minnesota, right, yes,
like that. So they they score, if I'm reading this correctly,
something like thirty four thirty six runs into in two
of those games. How does a baseball team, this is
a real question to try not to laugh at me.
How does a baseball team that can't hit score that

(39:21):
many runs in a couple games? How do how do
you get those random outbursts from a team like that?

Speaker 7 (39:26):
Because they're one hundred and sixty two of these things,
it's a lot of game. They all count, and over
the course of that one hundred and sixty two, you're
going to have situations where where things just turned completely around,
and those games were one of those times or two

(39:48):
of those times.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
Mike, who's your favorite Texas Ranger of all time?

Speaker 7 (39:54):
My favorite Texas Ranger of all time? Probably Buddy Bell
would be in that conversation.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
Well in the conversation, come on, who else is in there?

Speaker 7 (40:08):
You are?

Speaker 4 (40:08):
I believe you are the Ranger fan of record, as
the man who birthed the sports radio here. You are
the most notable Ranger fan in the history of the world,
which is pretty damn cool. And so whoever you have
in the conversation are the ones in the conversation.

Speaker 7 (40:23):
Well, they've had a lot of really really good players,
really really fun to watch players, players who were just
incredibly talented, players who weren't so talented but just grinded
like hell out there, and it's been I mean, they've
had some of just about every kind of player you

(40:45):
can imagine through here. But Buddy Bell was one of
those that not only was really good and very talented,
he gave a damn. I mean when the team would lose,
he would go into the room to interview him after
the game, and Buddy Bell would be sitting there smoking
a cigarette, looking at the box score, and you could
tell he was just that this was just killing him,

(41:09):
that he just couldn't stand losing. And he'd look around
and see guys that didn't care so much, and that
bothered him too. Buddy Bell gave a damn, and that's
one of the reasons why why he's one of the
ones that comes immediately to mind when you ask that question.

Speaker 9 (41:25):
Mike, I want to go back to the pitching staff
for this year. Obviously, you said they invested a lot
into it, and they're obviously doing very well.

Speaker 8 (41:32):
This year.

Speaker 9 (41:32):
Where do you think this ranks in like top just
in Rangers history, like the pitching staff.

Speaker 7 (41:41):
I've never seen it better. I have never seen it
better than it is right now. They have up front
Jacob de Grom and I don't know how often you
guys have watched Jacob de Grom do his thing this year,
but it is marvelous. It is breath taking. It's something

(42:01):
that even if you're a casual baseball fan, you see
Jacob de Gram out there and watch what he's doing,
and you know, you just know you're seeing something that
is a cut above what everybody else is doing out there.
I mean, when the catcher gives them the sign, puts
up the mit, the pitch comes in, the mit does

(42:23):
not move. He hits it every time without exception. Now
occasionally he'll give up a home run because these guys
can't hit, but man, Jacob de Gram is just something
to watch.

Speaker 10 (42:39):
If someone were to be dropped on this planet for
the very first time, how would you describe the experience
of being a Texas Rangers fan and what it means.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
The overall lifetime experience of being a Rangers fan. Let's
just say there have been a few ups and downs.
There have been a few crashes and burns. There have
been some high highs, and let's not forget they did

(43:09):
provide me with the greatest moment of my sports life
just a couple of years ago when they won the
World Series. And now I will never ask for nothing
else again. I've had all I want to see. I
live in a city where all four professional teams have
won a championship, and I'm good with that. I want

(43:30):
to ask for anything more. But if the Rangers did
wish to give me another one, I certainly would not
turn away from that. And it goes to the same
four of the other three as well.

Speaker 8 (43:41):
Mike.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Do you remember that we were working together when the
Rangers won the World Series and that I had to
get a tattoo on my butt?

Speaker 7 (43:48):
I do remember that, Jeff, I do remember that that
was a First of all, it was a wonderful experience
working with you, and it was also a wonderful experience
for you, having to get a tattoo on your butt,
and it maybe admire you into perpetuity the fact that
you actually did it and you didn't try to weasel

(44:10):
out of it or anything. There was wasn't any kind
of like that you just did it.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
I mean, that's what you gotta do before we let
you go, before we let you go, Mike, And I mean,
if you tell me I'm allowed to, I will absolutely
show my butt tattoo on the show.

Speaker 6 (44:27):
But on the show, you can show Sam off camera.

Speaker 8 (44:33):
You get home and then you can show me, Mike.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Baseball the greatest sport in all the land.

Speaker 7 (44:39):
Because baseball reflects life. Life has its ups and downs.
Life is a long term, day to day thing. So
is baseball. It is long term, it is day to day.
It's played out over the course of six months, and
in that six months, everybody has their ups, everybody has
their downs. It reflects life, Jeffrey.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Mike, tell everybody about your Badass podcast because you're here,
and you might as well plug your stuff, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 7 (45:11):
Uh, well, I would appreciate the opportunity to do that.
But yes, I have a podcast called Your Dark Companion.
Jeff has been on it.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Yeah, I'm ready again.

Speaker 7 (45:23):
When are you going to training camp?

Speaker 5 (45:25):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (45:26):
I'm going to training camp. I have flights books, but
I don't remember, but I'll be out there the last week.
I think.

Speaker 7 (45:32):
Yeah, okay, well let me know when you're going, because
I want to get you on before then where I
can find out exactly what you're looking for.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
Done? There, done, you're looking at done?

Speaker 9 (45:44):
Okay, all right, but my dad does the Spanish one
for him. Oh really yeah, the Spanish podcast, your dad?

Speaker 8 (45:54):
Yeah, why did it take you? That's amazing?

Speaker 7 (46:02):
I love Victor Victory.

Speaker 9 (46:05):

He was facing away from the microphone. Nobody heard it.
Does that?

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Even I heard other people.

Speaker 8 (50:11):
Your boss is literally sitting two chairs down.

Speaker 6 (50:14):
Make sure you hit explicit. Okay, I just changed the
whole description, complete description of the show.

Speaker 8 (50:22):
Geez, don't do it again.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
I did the nine hot dogs and nine innings challenge
on a dollar Dog Night. That psychopath behaves.

Speaker 10 (50:29):
Dollar Dog Night just sounds you'll love this. You know
who's back in the hot dog eating contest?

Speaker 4 (50:33):
Joey.

Speaker 8 (50:34):
Joey's back. Yeah, he's back, Joey Chestnuts.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
You're not impressed, I'm not impressed with Joey.

Speaker 8 (50:42):
It's only one that thing. So is it the hot
dog or is it the bun?

Speaker 4 (50:45):
Then it's the hot dog.

Speaker 8 (50:47):
It's the hot water that you dip it in.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
All the budget.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Yeah, yeah, I heard, I heard kidd you know who's
on the show. It like seven times. Yeah, that's what
inspired me to great drop one.

Speaker 6 (51:01):
Yeah tomorrow, Jeremy, let me tell you something.

Speaker 8 (51:05):
My guys snitches get stitches.

Speaker 6 (51:07):
Jammy Jamy is one of my favorite just playing.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
Yeah, that was me last year.

Speaker 7 (51:14):
Jeremy.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
So coffee is our boss and she told me like
we can't. I used to pretend we had one per week.

Speaker 6 (51:21):
And would ask for once.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
And then I was told we're not as adymore. And
I listened because she's our boss and I'm a good employee.
Then I check out the other show.

Speaker 8 (51:32):
Don't know, we don't like don't no, we don't let
Craig do anything. We let him.

Speaker 10 (51:41):
What does this turn into a meeting like in the
middle of the show internal exactly, this is so inside baseball.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Stop, Craig, have a real.

Speaker 8 (51:49):
Base Can I ask you baseball question? Baseball the best here?
For real? You watch baseball consistently? I don't not consistently.

Speaker 10 (51:58):
And the Rangers are one game under five hundred. Yeah,
they are only one and a half games back in
the wild card? Is that normally the case?

Speaker 8 (52:04):
Like? Is early? Al? Just horrible?

Speaker 10 (52:07):
We sit around the five fifty six hundred. Okay, I'm
just curious if people didn't hear a word said.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
Playoffs a lot of years at what eighty seven?

Speaker 10 (52:18):
Okay, five hundred if you get at least ninety wins
in the money, all right, you get ninety wins?

Speaker 8 (52:25):
You in the money?

Speaker 4 (52:25):
You're saying coffee teams are better than baseball team O.

Speaker 8 (52:28):
Just the way it works. I guess will you play
one hundred and sixty two games? Yeah? That's crazy, Yeah,
that's crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
The sports with all of the games is real weird
to me because I'm like, yeah, if you go fifteen
and two in football, like you're balling, and then I'll
check all the other sports and I'm like, what do
you mean you don't have to win sixty percent of
your games and dominate?

Speaker 8 (52:46):
You lose forty games?

Speaker 4 (52:48):
Like that's that's kind of wild.

Speaker 8 (52:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (52:50):
Yeah in basketball, like what would you say a fifty
one season.

Speaker 8 (52:53):
Fifty to fifty two wins usually get you in the money.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Yeah, what's your guys' favorite ballpark food?

Speaker 8 (52:59):
Okay, I have list the list.

Speaker 10 (53:01):
I mean, do we do free advertising because I it
only needs top dog on if you give us the
list would be given one through ten.

Speaker 6 (53:08):
I'm just gonna I mean, I can tell you what's
on the less and then we can just kind of.

Speaker 8 (53:11):
Yeah, okay, okay, discuss. We're gonna have to go over
time here. Oh wow, never done a show that's gone overtime, Real.

Speaker 9 (53:22):
Quick, ice cream, French fries, cracker jacks, Burgers, pretzels, pizza, popcorn, peanuts, hot.

Speaker 6 (53:32):
Dog, cracker jacks, chicken tendes are just food beer.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Okay, see that's just everything's just general place.

Speaker 8 (53:40):
Everything just in the it's and a batting helmet.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
Hurricane Harbor when it was wet and wild, I would
get the lemon, the lemon chills.

Speaker 10 (53:51):
If I get if I get dipping dots at the
Yankees game, Yankee game.

Speaker 8 (53:55):
I don't talk about the Yankees on a right rad.
There's Yankee fans on here. I see it. There's one
man we don't know. I man, well, I didn't like
the Yankees. I just went to their games.

Speaker 10 (54:06):
But if I get dipping down and it doesn't come
in the helmet.

Speaker 8 (54:10):
I'm sending it back and count Oh wow, not you
throwing it away.

Speaker 4 (54:14):
I like to give the mini helmet and then and
then wear it around.

Speaker 8 (54:17):
It's twenty dollars or whatever, but it's worth it. I
know you're buying it. You're getting three or four of them.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
I'm a wealthy housewife vision. There's nothing more fun to
me than burning my.

Speaker 8 (54:28):
You did that on a regular that's true.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
I'm gonna set up my gymnastics matt when I get home.
Oh my gosh, I'm going to open my that I've
had for four months here.

Speaker 8 (54:35):
Pretty soon we have a You're hot? You got two seaters?

Speaker 4 (54:38):
I got two seaters inflatable. His one theater wasn't big enough,
so I gave it away to a g He was
very grateful, and then I bought the two seater, but
I haven't opened it yet.

Speaker 8 (54:46):
So you're buying things just to give it away for
other people.

Speaker 10 (54:48):
Yeah, it's the mark of may start a podcast where
you just buy random stuff that you go like find
people on the street.

Speaker 8 (54:55):
Just start getting Jeff on the street.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
It sounds like yeah Jeff to which ever, Yeah, so
all of those like all those foods are fine, but
that's basically like all of the main options in an arena.
And I don't believe that you're allowed to rank it
that way. You have to have passion about something, and
I have passionate about the hot dog?

Speaker 8 (55:12):
Is that the hot What do you put on the
hot dog? Okay?

Speaker 4 (55:15):
See, I don't like when people ask me that, you.

Speaker 8 (55:19):
Wait, what, well, what's on the hot dog?

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Exposes that I have to tell peoples relative mayo is bad?
All these things put who puts mayo on a hot dog?
Joey puts on a hot dog? I will I think
that's you can put ketchup on a hot dog, and
that's fine.

Speaker 8 (55:38):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
But the pre third way I will, I will wrong.

Speaker 8 (55:44):
I was, I was, there's not enough explicit to put
on this podcast, especially hot dog.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
I'll try that thing.

Speaker 6 (56:00):
Now.

Speaker 8 (56:00):
Are you a glassy person? You're a guy. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
I thought that was just a word for hot dog.
But the best, the best, the best way to hot
dog is to chili cheese.

Speaker 8 (56:10):
That's the best way to I do agree with that.
That's a sloppy hot dog in a baseball right, in
a baseball game, you may not do that on a
hot dog show. That is a terrorist smooth putting Mayo
on a hot dog.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
Hot dogs, why don't you knock it, or don't knock
it before you try?

Speaker 8 (56:26):
It was disgusting. How did you even discover that interesting?
Oh so you were bored and you decided to put Mayo.
I mean, I'd prefer Mayo then just raw hot dog
in it.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Yeah, you guys in the story show.

Speaker 8 (56:40):
Technically that's not a star show. That's not saying it.

Speaker 10 (56:43):
Joe's gonna talk about the Dallas. Any of us are
back tomorrow. That's because we didn't lose our jobs today.

Speaker 8 (56:47):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (56:48):
I think baseball is better because it is so associated
with hot dog. Yeah, that's fair, and I like in
everyday life it's pretty rare. Like you may have a grill.

Speaker 8 (56:59):
You may grill and have some hot dogs. For the
most part, you're not eating July maybe, but.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
You get out to a ballgame.

Speaker 10 (57:05):
You if you could be if it's like dollar hot dog,
you could send me out there to a nice grass
field on seventy degree day and just have like some
noises going on.

Speaker 8 (57:13):
I don't need the baseball game park.

Speaker 10 (57:15):
Just just just noise and a hot Dogs, send me somewhere,
and then I had the hot dog in the field.

Speaker 8 (57:19):
Yeah, go fields.

Speaker 10 (57:21):
People can be throwing a ball around or something, but
brisket nachos from her toddle.

Speaker 8 (57:25):
I don't need that. I don't need the game itself.

Speaker 10 (57:28):
I went to an All Star game at Yankee Stadium
once and the game finished one to zero.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Yankee Stadium. Yeah, a lot of Yankee Podcast two thousand
and five, Al Batting Champions.

Speaker 8 (57:38):
Nobody's Nobody's your best friend, Michael.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
Jeff my dude, Michael Young.

Speaker 8 (57:45):
Ten You didn't know Jeff and Michael Young were best friends.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
Michael Young is my favorite baseball player of all time.
And when I was doing sports sports radio, like, I
was a huge Ranger fan, and baseball is my favorite
sport for a long time. I've recently petered out, like
talked about the Cowboys, and so I really just listened
audiobooks and listening to Spotify a lot of the time.
I need to get back in. But yeah, because before
I'd ever met him or talked to him, he was
my favorite baseball player. And so then our friends Bend

(58:11):
and Skin were kind of friends with him, and so
we're able to get him on the show, and I
made it even more intentionally awkward with him, and I
think he liked that. Like my question was something along
the lines of, Michael, I just want you to know that, like,
you're the best baseball player ever, but I also think
you're an incredible person. I'm sure you're a perfect husband.
And I was wondering if you ever have a catch

(58:31):
like that was my first question, Can we have a catch?
But eventually I found my way to having his phone number,
and then they had his bibble heads and I texted him.
I was like, bro, I'm not gonna be at the game,
but if you don't get me your bibbleheads, and he
mailed me this one and the franchise for one. Yeah
he did.

Speaker 8 (58:46):
Did he pay postage to or did you have to
pay post.

Speaker 4 (58:48):
Well, I mean he's made more than I have.

Speaker 8 (58:51):
He might be able to afford it. You wouldn't know
by his purchases. You think he's on an MLV car.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
But anyways, this show is I like hot dogs, Yeah,
and I don't care.

Speaker 8 (59:03):
Who knows what's your favorite? We we said that's a
baseball food. That's just the food, says.

Speaker 4 (59:10):
The guy with the palate of a five year old
unique seriously any sports I went don't.

Speaker 9 (59:15):
Get the Global field, and they had something that was
like donuts and chicken tendies.

Speaker 8 (59:21):
Like put together.

Speaker 6 (59:22):
Yeah, it was like on a skewer. So that's what
I got.

Speaker 8 (59:24):
It's pretty good. A donut chicken tender skewer. A whole
half left this show. Get out of here. I don't care.
Side note, the show started dying. I don't want to
take my seat for one minute. I'm dying, all right,

(59:45):
Yeah yeah, Actually.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
The show started fifty nine minutes ago, and really the
first minutes were not encouraging. But then we got a
couple of guests groove really founder groove by not talking
as much.

Speaker 8 (59:59):
I don't have a I don't have a third one.
We missed it crazy. This two is good for me.
It was like, cag you got more, one more?

Dog, I don't mind that. I'm not paying full price
for a hot dog. I'm not doing it.

Speaker 11 (01:00:30):
Oh wow, I only get my hot dogs on sale.
It's the same as it would be if I spend
five dollars on in rough sheep. I'm not seeing the
seventh inning.

Speaker 8 (01:00:40):
Oh wow.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
I love when I make hot dogs because they don't
all get eaten. And then I just have a bag
of meat in the fridge. I'm down to two. Oh

Speaker 8 (01:00:50):
Make that a drop? Please make that please please? I
