Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you want to make a bunch, it takes more
than lunch. This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You say good morning once more to John Tucker from
the Bloomberg newsroom in New York, New York. It was
a very famous line, and I think it was the
old Wendy's commercial if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Where made the beef?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Remember?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Maybe what election was that that was like, uh.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, you're right, it did. You're exactly right. I can't
remember how to be in the early eighties.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Maybe was it?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
No, I think it was the first George Bush. Yes, yes, anyway,
this is Tyson, which is the largest US meat packer.
They're raising the full of your profit outlook. But you
know what, it's not the beef. It's chicken and pork
that more customers are buying. So everybody's on this protein.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, that's what I was going to ask you. I
thought beef was supposed to give you a lot of protein.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Well you know what, you can give me a big
juicy steak. Agg ame. Tyson's adjusted earnings for the quarter
did beat estimates. It's beef operations posted a wider loss,
So yeah, they're selling more chicken and pork, and the
situation for beef processors doesn't look like it's going to
improve anytime soon. The company says. In fact, the cattle herd,
(01:15):
the US cattle herd at the smallest in about seventy
five years. And I will tell you pork is cheaper.
I can tell you that from a first experience at
the food store, so you know. But again, give me
a steak any day of the week.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I tell you one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever
had in my life over the weekend, buddy of mine
made it in his house.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It was unbelievab.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, it was like a smash burger thing.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, it was about a uh no, it was like
thick as a fist.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh it was unreal, unreal.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It wasn't like.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Futures this morning. How are we doing again?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
We had that record close with the S and P
five and that ansday Friday down futures right now one
hundred and eighty points lowern SMP futures down mine and
the nasday futures right now eighteen points higher. And from Bloomberg,
I'm John Ticker News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Alrighty it is open lines Monday. Anything on your mind,
give us a call right now. We'll get you in
at five one three, seven four, nine seven thousand, five
to one three, seven four nine seven thousand. Anything on
your mind could be the Red sports related. We'll talk
more about the Reds with Marty Brenneman Mondays with Marty
coming up at eight thirty eight.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Maybe you want to talk about gas prices, maybe you
want to talk about what's going on in Iran, or
maybe you just want to keep things a little bit
on the lighter side. I saw the news where, by
the way, Rudy Giuliani and whether you like him or
don't like him, apparently he's in critical but stable condition
(02:52):
in a New York hospital right now.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Tell you what.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I was back in New York about three weeks ago,
and I don't know the circumstances under which his name
came up, but there were enough people around that were
old enough to know what was happening back when he
was Mayor of New York post nine to eleven. And
I can speak from very personal experience that year I
(03:20):
was broadcast in the Diamondbacks games. I've told this story before,
but one of the most vivid memories etched in my
mind for all eternity. The Diamondbacks we played in the
World Series that year against the Yankees, and you may
remember the regular season got interrupted post nine to eleven
(03:41):
and they moved everything back ten twelve days, then resumed
regular season play. But it meant that the playoffs and
the World Series would all get started later than normal,
and in fact, that World Series went into the month
of November for the very first time ever. But after
(04:03):
playing the first two games in Arizona, we flew to
New York. After Game two, Diamondbacks had a two games
to none lead, led by Kurt Schilling Randy Johnson. Great team.
They wound up winning the World Series in seven games.
But what I'm getting at here is nine to eleven
had probably been almost a month and a half prior
(04:26):
to the time the World Series started, and so a
lot of the big celebrities in New York, in any
walk of life, athletic could be, entertainers, could be anybody.
Rudy Giuliani was looking for anybody to just come down
to ground zero and try to lift up the spirits
of those that were literally digging bodies out from under
(04:50):
the rubble. So he had asked Juliani for the Diamondbacks
upon landing to come visit Ground zero, and we went
down there, and it's indescribable. You can see pictures, you
can see videos, but for those who were down there,
(05:15):
it's impossible to describe what it was truly like. You
have the rubble from the World Trade Centers that were
up probably five six seven stories high. You had men
and women first responders digging through that rubble looking for
(05:36):
people that may have survived. You had dogs that were
sniffing for the possibility of a body being found. And
so as a team, the whole Diamondbacks traveling party, we
went down there and I'm not sure Rudy Giuliani ever
left there. And so, you know, look, there's some people
(05:59):
that don't like what he has done much since being
the mayor, and that's fine, but I'll tell you when
he was a mayor, those were the best days in
New York City. Not nine to eleven. They were the
best days. Were a real leader in that town. He's
a pretty amazing guy. Kevin wants to chime in on
(06:21):
Rudy Giuliani. Kevin, good morning, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Hi? I just wanted to share a little story I
had about Rudy Giuliani. I'm a firefighter and this is
pretty early in my career, and when Ken Blackwell was, yep,
running for governor. I went to work one day and
they announced that Ken Blackwell and Rudy Giuliani and someone
(06:45):
else that I don't remember were all going to stop
by the station that day to get up a photo op.
However they do these things, and so they were there
and we were all kind of lined up to shake
their hands or whatever, and I talked Ken Blackwell for
a second, and then Ruddy Juliani. He just out of nowhere.
He's like, hey, where are you from around here? I'm
(07:07):
like yeah, He's like, where are you an Ohio State fan.
I'm like, well, sort of yeah. He's like he's like, well,
let me tell you something. He's like, you take Illinois's
favorite Michigan's favored by nine over Illinois this weekend. He's like,
take Illinois plus one. And I'm like, okay. I didn't
think much about it, but sure enough he was exactly right,
(07:29):
no kidding, Yeah, So I never took the bet, but
like he called it dead on. I don't know what
that means, but I thought it was always funny and
all the things he offered up that was Yeah. So anyway,
I liked the guy. He was seem pretty pretty.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Cool and all that. I'm curious you bed a former
fight er fire.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Did you ever talk to any of the guys in
New York that went through that whole thing. I was
just telling the story of me being actually able to
be there and see it. Did you ever talk to
anybody who was there and get any kind of account
or thoughts from any of them?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I have met, like some of those those guys that
were f and y in retrospect have kind of become
like rock stars on the circuit, so to speak. You know,
they they'll they've kind of afterwards talked about it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But I know a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
This is a side thought, like you know, when everybody,
every little department, everybody wanted to send people up there
for non for the actual event, you know, the aftermath
of course, and and helped clean up. And I think
a lot of people went there. I guess you call
(08:40):
it unsolicited, and it kind of probably created a lot
more problems that whole scene, you know, you know, I mean,
I think they were trying to do what they could,
but you know, they would let you know if they
needed you, I feel at that point, and it probably
just created too much chaos in the aftermath because there's
already some but you know, it's all well intent. And
(09:00):
of course I've talked to some people that went up there.
They really weren't asked to come up there, and you
know they I don't know, but yeah, that's kind of
my experience with it. I did not go up there,
and I you know, I was.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, you're right that.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know, when you have a situation like that, it's
like a lot of other things. They're just like, please
don't come down here. We know your heart is in
the right place. We're just trying to manage what we
have right now. And so to try and manage, you know,
a group from Springfield or a group from Cincinnati or
a group from Covington coming into help, it just puts
more on their plate. And thank you so much for
(09:38):
sharing that story about Juliani. That's funny story. But I
tell you, man, he was he was the guy, was
a leader. And I'm talking about it like it's past tense.
He's not dead, he's in the hospital, shifting gears to
more current politics.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
This story I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And I have to tell you most of the polls
that come out, I don't believe them. I don't believe
them much at all, And this one I have a
really hard time believing. But if you're a Democrat, tell
me if you think this sounds right. In Democratic primary
(10:20):
polling of a potential twenty twenty eight matchup between former
Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom, this
is shocking. Kamala Harris is better than twenty points, almost
(10:46):
thirty points ahead of Newsom, who runs number two to
be put on the Democratic presidential candidate in twenty twenty eight.
Harvard Harris polled two thousand, seven hundred and forty five
registered voters last three days and found that fifty percent
(11:10):
favored Kamala Harris as a Democratic nominee front runner for president.
Gavin Newsom came in number two at twenty two percent.
You had Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro nine percent, AOC eight percent, JB. Pritzker,
(11:33):
Governor of Illinois six percent. And not only did Harris
just steamroll Newsom, she did so in all the demographic groups.
White Democrats prefer her over Newsom by fifteen points forty
one to twenty six, Blacks seventy one to fifteen, Hispanics
(11:56):
fifty to twenty three, even Asians to twelve. In fact,
her lead is is shocking according to many that are Democrats,
that she would have that kind of a lead. Do
(12:16):
you envision a world where Kamala Harris's president? Look, forget
who's a president now, because you might not like him,
and that's fine, no problem. But can you truly envision
a world where Kamala Harris has nothing to do with
being black, has nothing to do with being a woman,
(12:39):
nothing whatsoever. Because truthby told her against Newsom, I could
see why people would pick Harris because he has zero chance, none, none,
especially based on his track record as governor of California.
But Harris, that's who the Democrats are probably going to
(13:03):
put up to run for president again, different setup. This time,
she'd have more time to prepare for it, unlike the
last go round. But I don't know. That would seem
like an extraordinary stretch to me. But I never thought
in a million years, knowing literally hundreds and hundreds of
(13:25):
New Yorkers, I never thought they would have a Communist
as the mayor of New York. Not surprised they would
have one as the mayor of Seattle. And I can't
believe that the state of Maine is running a guy
as a Democratic senator who has a Nazi tattoo. Not granted,
(13:50):
it was a long time ago and everybody can change
their ways. I'm all for a second chance. But as
we talked about before, Elizabeth Warren coming out and saying,
he's my kind of guy. Could you imagine if a
Republican had a Nazi tattoo and said, hey, look that
was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm a different cat.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Do you think she would show so much grace in that.
I don't know. I don't see it. I could be wrong,
but I don't see it.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, let's get to the traffic out there. See what's happening.
Shut last go round, there were some issues. How are
we doing now? Most are in much better shape. This

seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Before we get to.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Marty Brennan, I just want to send out a big
thank you to all the folks over at Beacon Orthopedics.
Had hip replacement surgery exactly this time last week. Surgeon
House Chadriy, Christina Kenning his right hand person. They did
a phenomenal job get you ready beforehand, answering questions afterwards,
(16:39):
did a great job up and moving around a little bit.
So Christina Kenning and doctor hol Schadrey and all the
folks over at Beacon Orthopedics just want to say thank
you from the very bottom of my heart. All right,
let's get to Marty Brenneman before we get to Bill
Belichick hanging out at the Kentucky Derby over the weekend,
(17:01):
which I know you want to touch on that.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I just happened to see it, that's all. They were
both dressed in black.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well that was.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
That was for Sunday. That was for Saturday. Did you
see him on Friday? Hey all, no, I gotta tell
you she's got a pretty good sense of humor.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A funeral.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well, Saturday, you're right, Saturday, you're right. But Friday for
the Kentucky Oaks. And we'll get to this in a minute.
I'm telling you they were looking good, and I think
she has a pretty good sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
But we'll get to this in a minute.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
First things first, everybody wants to know what in the
world happened with the Reds this weekend in Pittsburgh. I mean,
outside of yesterday, a one nothing game, Friday and Saturday
were a complete and total embarrassment.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Well, you know, Joe knut Saw, the old left hander
who I work with and love so much for thirty
one years, used to say that if you hang around
this game long enough, you're going to see something you've
never seen before. And that was seven walk in a
row leading to five runs and the second inning after
they had scored five runs in the first on Saturday.
(18:08):
But what was unique was the seven in a row
and then five runs without benefit of a base hit.
I've never seen anything that even remotely equal that. I
think this club has an abundance of problems right now.
You know, you always hear the old adage you can
never have enough pitching. And I thought during spring training,
with what they were counting on for sure, with a
(18:30):
big league club and those that would be down under
in Louisville in the event they would need it, I said,
this club's got more pitching than they'll ever need. All
of a sudden, though they don't Hunter Green, Niclodolo, the
Williamson kid. They've lost pitchers right and left, and all
of a sudden, now they're caught short. Chase Petty is
(18:51):
going to start tonight. He's yet to show that he
can pitch in the big leagues. Last year his short
stint was a disaster. And plus the fact that no
matter how many runs they might have, of two or
three games where they really swing the bats well, this
club is not a good offensive ball club. For whatever
the reason, the people that they've counted on, with the
(19:12):
exception of a couple of hitters, have not delivered. Matt
McClain's one of the biggest disappointments I've ever seen in
my life. So they've got some things that they've got
to correct badly, and they have the misfortune of going
into Chicago tonight to play the club that's in first
place in the Central Division and is rolling right now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Look, you and I talked about this, and we were
on the same page on this. I mean, yes, we
said it looked like they had abundance of pitching, but
we also, you know, sort of had a little caveat
to that in that with Williamson Louder.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And why am I trying to play?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, I mean that these guys did not pitch barely
at all last year, and so even though they were
hot up until their last time through the rotation, they
had a little hiccup couple of weeks ago that at
the end end of the day, I asked the question,
and I think we all have to be asking the
same question again. Is okay Williamson Now he's on the
shelf for a little while. We'll see what's going on
(20:10):
with Louder.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I have no idea but that they probably weren't going
to be pitching or allowed to pitch once you got
into July. So now all of a sudden, you know
you're wondering, Okay, Well, by that time. Do you have
Lodolo back, do you have Hunter green back? I just
I've continued to ask a question even when they were pitching, Well,
is that how long can it last? Because from a
(20:33):
physical standpoint, you're not going to ask these guys who
didn't pitch at all in some cases or very little
in others last year to all of a sudden pitch
one hundred and twenty five hundred and thirty innings this year.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Well, that's a good question. That's a very valid question
given the state of the game today as it appliers
to analytics, and you know, we can't let this pitcher
go beyond five or six innings. One hundred pitches is
the That's a noll for not staying in ball games.
It used to be one that was bandied about by people,
But at the same time, it was not a necessity
(21:08):
that you have to come out. Now, you throw a
hudred pitches or four or five pitches over, you got
to come out of the game under most circumstances. So
I don't disagree with what you say, although I think
when you have young pitchers like Reed, well like Louder
and Chase Berns who got a touch last year, and
then especially in Burns's case, he pitched very well. Louder
(21:31):
had arm problems. You have to judge your decision making
on something, and so you bring them up and you
pitch them, and then you have to deal with whatever
concerns you have after they reach a certain number of innings. Again,
a situation that never was applicable in the old days.
I had to bring it up. But at the same time,
(21:51):
I don't remember, I do not remember as many arm
problems on this club then this team is having right now.
I just wonder if this club is doing something or
not doing something that other clubs who have lesser problems
with keeping their pictures healthy don't have. I really wonder
if that's a factor one way or the other.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
One guy in particular, I want to ask you about because, look,
I've had a chance to broadcast in three different markets
for the local home team. Here's Chicago, Phoenix, and look,
I haven't spent any time regular time in any of
the other cities. So maybe it's unfair of me to
say this, but it seems like Karen Cincinnati baseball is
not a sport where all of a sudden you ride
(22:34):
the highest high and the lowest low on a day
to day basis on what happens the night before, because
it's one hundred and sixty two game schedule. So I'm
not going to go off the reservation here yet on
Connor Phillips. But I got to tell you, I have
more people up and down the radio dial that tells
me how great this guy is, how great his stuff
is all the time. And he walks in a game
(22:56):
the other night, and he walks four batters in a row,
he's throwing three two breaking balls, three two change ups,
can't find the plate. I mean, everybody talking about him
he's going to be the closer by the Maybe he
will be, but I mean, when all of a sudden
do you say, hey, look, you know, the guy's been
around long enough now, maybe not to get everybody out,
(23:17):
but at least throw the ball over the plate.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Tom I said that the second week of the season,
not particularly about him, but he was included about the
concern I had for this team pitching wise, was the
back ends of the bullpen. Now, your back ends on
this club unless it changes, includes Tolly Santion obviously Pegan
who's a closer, and Connor Phillips and I said, there
(23:46):
are a couple of these guys that have stretches where
they cannot throw the ball over the plate. I said,
I'm not single love Connor Phillips, and I do say
one thing. There's not a picture on the staff that's
got better stuff, no doubt, no doubt, he's got dominant stuff.
But it's not worth the damn if you can't throw
the ball over the play. And to me, what he
did the other day was inexcusable unless he's got something
(24:09):
wrong with him. That was a joke, whether it be early,
whether it be late, if you can't have pictures, especially
late when you're trying to protect the lead. And Fantian
for the most part, has been very, very good, although
he will reach there will be times when he can't
throw the ball over the plate. But they've got to
figure out how they can get more consistency out of
(24:30):
Connor Phillips. And he's been that way his entire pro career.
Everybody would say the one thing he's got going against
him is he's inconsistent the strike zone. Well up here,
that doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
All right, So what about a guy like Chase Petty.
Now we've seen a little bit of him. You know,
you read all the rankings about where he is on
the top prospects in the Cincinnati Reds organization. We're not
going to base his future on just one game tonight.
They're in a bind, so they're bringing him up. What
do you think about him?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Well, I think yes, he can pitch into big leagues,
but again, he's very been very inconsistent. I don't know
that he pitched all that well down in Louisville since
the season began. But out of necessity he's up here
pitching tonight because they don't have anybody else. I mean,
you know, those two games Friday and Saturday blew up.
They're both been so bad. Thank god for Chase Spurns. Yes,
(25:20):
that he was outstanding. I mean, you can't pitch any
better than that kid pitched yesterday and you get beat
one to nothing. But we'll see. This is a time
when you your people down under in Louisville a triple
A need to step up and prove that if necessary,
long range or short term, depending upon what the situation is,
(25:44):
you've got to be able to come up here and
give your team a shot in the arm. His previous
appearances in the Big leagues have left a whole lot
to be desired.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
All right, I want to get to a couple of
other topics. You're going to expand the NCAA basketball tournament.
You're a big college basketball fan, you a fan of
this move?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I all no, it's all about money. Everything is all
about money. For God's sake, that's what it is. To
reap more benefit financially from the networks who are willing
to write blank checks to whatever they have to write
checks for. As far as the NCAA Tournament is concerned,
I think they're now going overboard. Like the NCAA, the
most worthless organization on the face of this earth. They
(26:27):
do nothing, they do nothing, and here they are announcing
that they're going to expand. I just I scratched my
head in wonderment sometime. But at the end of the day,
I also understand that it's all about the almighty dollar.
All right.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Let's get to Bill Belichick now.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Why him and his girlfriend Jordan Hudson spent their weekend
in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
They went to.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The races plural on Friday, and I mean the outfits
were unbelievable. He is always He's been known by the way,
even before he met her, you know, people would see
him on the sideline and he'd have the ripped up
pudding and all that kind of thing. But when he
would dress up, he is quite the style guy and
has been for a long long time. Yeah, no, he
(27:12):
really does.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
He does not wear clothes.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, I didn't say as well.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I just said that he knows fashion and how to
look good or has somebody helping him.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
You're a good friend.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Uh you bet.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
What's his name, the guy in Chapel Hill that designs
all the clothes, Julian.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
What's his name, Alexander Julian.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, so he had on this this Carolina blue sport
coat looking good, and they walked actually down the track
together on Friday. And I loved her little caption to
the collage of pictures. She does have a good sense
of humor. She said, this is not the first time
we've trudged through the mud together.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
They get dragged through the.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Mud all the time, both of them.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Whats you so? Man? You report you so? I don't
know why we are wasting our time on talking about
Bill Belichick and that girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, because Conningham loves talking about it. He loves talking
about Jordan Hudson. We're just setting the stage for him
coming back today from being a little under the weather
down in Naples.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, okay, well that's fine. He's got something to talk about.
I don't care. It doesn't make any difference to me.
I'm glad that they trust you the much. God bless
them for that. He ought to be more worried about
what kind of football record he's going to have when
this season comes to it end, because if it's as
bad as it was last year, he will be a
fond memory at Chapel Hill.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, it just came out officially, after all of a
sudden done. They have the fourteenth best recruiting class in
college football in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
We'll see how that works out. I hope, for the
sake of the university and for the sake of my
interest in Carolina football, I hope that every bit of
that is true. But I have to see it to
believe it. After last year.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
All right, let's get a little advice from Marty before
we let you get out of here. I'm sure there
are a lot of people listening right now. I'm being
serious about this because there are a lot of people
that they always talk about wanting, you know, a bucket
list kind of thing, right, everybody has one and for
some people at seeing a baseball game at Wrigley Field.
So you have night games tonight, Tomorrow night, Wednesday, night
day game Thursday. I'm sure there are people right now
(29:21):
in their cars driving up to Chicago first time they've
ever been to Wrigley if there are good if they
are going there for the first time, what would Marty
Brenneman suggest would be a must thing or two to
do you mean, yeah, or or you know, to start
your day a joint to go to maybe somewhere out
of the game.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Well, I would I would get out there. I would
get out there early and absorb the ambiance of the
area around the ballpark, because I think it's truly unique
in Major League Baseball. Maybe Fenway Park in Boston could
equal the ambiance. Uh, there are a lot of things,
you know, bars and such as that, restaurants around the
(30:03):
park that certainly are going to be filled with cub
fans and people that love the game of baseball. That
would be about the only thing I would say if
you've never been to get there early, and maybe you
want to go. I would take a dim view of
if you've got kids, I would not sit in the bleachers,
because that's a different breed account out there. I would
(30:25):
not I would not take kids to the bleachers from
Powell Line to Foul Line. I'd stay away from it.
I'm with you there, that's something not to do. But
aside from that, I think I just say, you've heard.
All you've ever heard, all you've ever heard about is
how great Wrigley Field is. Go to the ballgame, enjoy it,
Hope the weather is good. It's one of my three
(30:46):
top ballparks in all of baseball, and it always will be.
I love going to Chicago, I love going to Wrigley
Field and working there, and I'm always will always be
a big fan of the ballpark.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
All right, Well, I know you'll be dialed in, so
thanks for the time. As always, Hope you have a
great rest of your week.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I'm glad you're getting a long better probum. Glad the
surgery was great, and I'll look forward to seeing you
next Monday.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Absolutely
If you want to make a bunch, it takes more
than lunch. This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You say good morning once more to John Tucker from
the Bloomberg newsroom in New York, New York. It was
a very famous line, and I think it was the
old Wendy's commercial if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Where made the beef?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Remember?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Maybe what election was that that was like, uh.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, you're right, it did. You're exactly right. I can't
remember how to be in the early eighties.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Maybe was it?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
No, I think it was the first George Bush. Yes, yes, anyway,
this is Tyson, which is the largest US meat packer.
They're raising the full of your profit outlook. But you
know what, it's not the beef. It's chicken and pork
that more customers are buying. So everybody's on this protein.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, that's what I was going to ask you. I
thought beef was supposed to give you a lot of protein.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Well you know what, you can give me a big
juicy steak. Agg ame. Tyson's adjusted earnings for the quarter
did beat estimates. It's beef operations posted a wider loss,
So yeah, they're selling more chicken and pork, and the
situation for beef processors doesn't look like it's going to
improve anytime soon. The company says. In fact, the cattle herd,
(01:15):
the US cattle herd at the smallest in about seventy
five years. And I will tell you pork is cheaper.
I can tell you that from a first experience at
the food store, so you know. But again, give me
a steak any day of the week.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I tell you one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever
had in my life over the weekend, buddy of mine
made it in his house.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It was unbelievab.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, it was like a smash burger thing.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, it was about a uh no, it was like
thick as a fist.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh it was unreal, unreal.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It wasn't like.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Futures this morning. How are we doing again?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
We had that record close with the S and P
five and that ansday Friday down futures right now one
hundred and eighty points lowern SMP futures down mine and
the nasday futures right now eighteen points higher. And from Bloomberg,
I'm John Ticker News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Alrighty it is open lines Monday. Anything on your mind,
give us a call right now. We'll get you in
at five one three, seven four, nine seven thousand, five
to one three, seven four nine seven thousand. Anything on
your mind could be the Red sports related. We'll talk
more about the Reds with Marty Brenneman Mondays with Marty
coming up at eight thirty eight.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Maybe you want to talk about gas prices, maybe you
want to talk about what's going on in Iran, or
maybe you just want to keep things a little bit
on the lighter side. I saw the news where, by
the way, Rudy Giuliani and whether you like him or
don't like him, apparently he's in critical but stable condition
(02:52):
in a New York hospital right now.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Tell you what.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I was back in New York about three weeks ago,
and I don't know the circumstances under which his name
came up, but there were enough people around that were
old enough to know what was happening back when he
was Mayor of New York post nine to eleven. And
I can speak from very personal experience that year I
(03:20):
was broadcast in the Diamondbacks games. I've told this story before,
but one of the most vivid memories etched in my
mind for all eternity. The Diamondbacks we played in the
World Series that year against the Yankees, and you may
remember the regular season got interrupted post nine to eleven
(03:41):
and they moved everything back ten twelve days, then resumed
regular season play. But it meant that the playoffs and
the World Series would all get started later than normal,
and in fact, that World Series went into the month
of November for the very first time ever. But after
(04:03):
playing the first two games in Arizona, we flew to
New York. After Game two, Diamondbacks had a two games
to none lead, led by Kurt Schilling Randy Johnson. Great team.
They wound up winning the World Series in seven games.
But what I'm getting at here is nine to eleven
had probably been almost a month and a half prior
(04:26):
to the time the World Series started, and so a
lot of the big celebrities in New York, in any
walk of life, athletic could be, entertainers, could be anybody.
Rudy Giuliani was looking for anybody to just come down
to ground zero and try to lift up the spirits
of those that were literally digging bodies out from under
(04:50):
the rubble. So he had asked Juliani for the Diamondbacks
upon landing to come visit Ground zero, and we went
down there, and it's indescribable. You can see pictures, you
can see videos, but for those who were down there,
(05:15):
it's impossible to describe what it was truly like. You
have the rubble from the World Trade Centers that were
up probably five six seven stories high. You had men
and women first responders digging through that rubble looking for
(05:36):
people that may have survived. You had dogs that were
sniffing for the possibility of a body being found. And
so as a team, the whole Diamondbacks traveling party, we
went down there and I'm not sure Rudy Giuliani ever
left there. And so, you know, look, there's some people
(05:59):
that don't like what he has done much since being
the mayor, and that's fine, but I'll tell you when
he was a mayor, those were the best days in
New York City. Not nine to eleven. They were the
best days. Were a real leader in that town. He's
a pretty amazing guy. Kevin wants to chime in on
(06:21):
Rudy Giuliani. Kevin, good morning, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Hi? I just wanted to share a little story I
had about Rudy Giuliani. I'm a firefighter and this is
pretty early in my career, and when Ken Blackwell was, yep,
running for governor. I went to work one day and
they announced that Ken Blackwell and Rudy Giuliani and someone
(06:45):
else that I don't remember were all going to stop
by the station that day to get up a photo op.
However they do these things, and so they were there
and we were all kind of lined up to shake
their hands or whatever, and I talked Ken Blackwell for
a second, and then Ruddy Juliani. He just out of nowhere.
He's like, hey, where are you from around here? I'm
(07:07):
like yeah, He's like, where are you an Ohio State fan.
I'm like, well, sort of yeah. He's like he's like, well,
let me tell you something. He's like, you take Illinois's
favorite Michigan's favored by nine over Illinois this weekend. He's like,
take Illinois plus one. And I'm like, okay. I didn't
think much about it, but sure enough he was exactly right,
(07:29):
no kidding, Yeah, So I never took the bet, but
like he called it dead on. I don't know what
that means, but I thought it was always funny and
all the things he offered up that was Yeah. So anyway,
I liked the guy. He was seem pretty pretty.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Cool and all that. I'm curious you bed a former
fight er fire.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Did you ever talk to any of the guys in
New York that went through that whole thing. I was
just telling the story of me being actually able to
be there and see it. Did you ever talk to
anybody who was there and get any kind of account
or thoughts from any of them?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I have met, like some of those those guys that
were f and y in retrospect have kind of become
like rock stars on the circuit, so to speak. You know,
they they'll they've kind of afterwards talked about it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
But I know a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
This is a side thought, like you know, when everybody,
every little department, everybody wanted to send people up there
for non for the actual event, you know, the aftermath
of course, and and helped clean up. And I think
a lot of people went there. I guess you call
(08:40):
it unsolicited, and it kind of probably created a lot
more problems that whole scene, you know, you know, I mean,
I think they were trying to do what they could,
but you know, they would let you know if they
needed you, I feel at that point, and it probably
just created too much chaos in the aftermath because there's
already some but you know, it's all well intent. And
(09:00):
of course I've talked to some people that went up there.
They really weren't asked to come up there, and you
know they I don't know, but yeah, that's kind of
my experience with it. I did not go up there,
and I you know, I was.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, you're right that.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know, when you have a situation like that, it's
like a lot of other things. They're just like, please
don't come down here. We know your heart is in
the right place. We're just trying to manage what we
have right now. And so to try and manage, you know,
a group from Springfield or a group from Cincinnati or
a group from Covington coming into help, it just puts
more on their plate. And thank you so much for
(09:38):
sharing that story about Juliani. That's funny story. But I
tell you, man, he was he was the guy, was
a leader. And I'm talking about it like it's past tense.
He's not dead, he's in the hospital, shifting gears to
more current politics.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
This story I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And I have to tell you most of the polls
that come out, I don't believe them. I don't believe
them much at all, And this one I have a
really hard time believing. But if you're a Democrat, tell
me if you think this sounds right. In Democratic primary
(10:20):
polling of a potential twenty twenty eight matchup between former
Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom, this
is shocking. Kamala Harris is better than twenty points, almost
(10:46):
thirty points ahead of Newsom, who runs number two to
be put on the Democratic presidential candidate in twenty twenty eight.
Harvard Harris polled two thousand, seven hundred and forty five
registered voters last three days and found that fifty percent
(11:10):
favored Kamala Harris as a Democratic nominee front runner for president.
Gavin Newsom came in number two at twenty two percent.
You had Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro nine percent, AOC eight percent, JB. Pritzker,
(11:33):
Governor of Illinois six percent. And not only did Harris
just steamroll Newsom, she did so in all the demographic groups.
White Democrats prefer her over Newsom by fifteen points forty
one to twenty six, Blacks seventy one to fifteen, Hispanics
(11:56):
fifty to twenty three, even Asians to twelve. In fact,
her lead is is shocking according to many that are Democrats,
that she would have that kind of a lead. Do
(12:16):
you envision a world where Kamala Harris's president? Look, forget
who's a president now, because you might not like him,
and that's fine, no problem. But can you truly envision
a world where Kamala Harris has nothing to do with
being black, has nothing to do with being a woman,
(12:39):
nothing whatsoever. Because truthby told her against Newsom, I could
see why people would pick Harris because he has zero chance, none, none,
especially based on his track record as governor of California.
But Harris, that's who the Democrats are probably going to
(13:03):
put up to run for president again, different setup. This time,
she'd have more time to prepare for it, unlike the
last go round. But I don't know. That would seem
like an extraordinary stretch to me. But I never thought
in a million years, knowing literally hundreds and hundreds of
(13:25):
New Yorkers, I never thought they would have a Communist
as the mayor of New York. Not surprised they would
have one as the mayor of Seattle. And I can't
believe that the state of Maine is running a guy
as a Democratic senator who has a Nazi tattoo. Not granted,
(13:50):
it was a long time ago and everybody can change
their ways. I'm all for a second chance. But as
we talked about before, Elizabeth Warren coming out and saying,
he's my kind of guy. Could you imagine if a
Republican had a Nazi tattoo and said, hey, look that
was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm a different cat.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Do you think she would show so much grace in that.
I don't know. I don't see it. I could be wrong,
but I don't see it.
Speaker 5 (14:20):

Marty Brennan, I just want to send out a big
thank you to all the folks over at Beacon Orthopedics.
Had hip replacement surgery exactly this time last week. Surgeon
House Chadriy, Christina Kenning his right hand person. They did
a phenomenal job get you ready beforehand, answering questions afterwards,
(16:39):
did a great job up and moving around a little bit.
So Christina Kenning and doctor hol Schadrey and all the
folks over at Beacon Orthopedics just want to say thank
you from the very bottom of my heart. All right,
let's get to Marty Brenneman before we get to Bill
Belichick hanging out at the Kentucky Derby over the weekend,
(17:01):
which I know you want to touch on that.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I just happened to see it, that's all. They were
both dressed in black.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well that was.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
That was for Sunday. That was for Saturday. Did you
see him on Friday? Hey all, no, I gotta tell
you she's got a pretty good sense of humor.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A funeral.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well, Saturday, you're right, Saturday, you're right. But Friday for
the Kentucky Oaks. And we'll get to this in a minute.
I'm telling you they were looking good, and I think
she has a pretty good sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
But we'll get to this in a minute.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
First things first, everybody wants to know what in the
world happened with the Reds this weekend in Pittsburgh. I mean,
outside of yesterday, a one nothing game, Friday and Saturday
were a complete and total embarrassment.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Well, you know, Joe knut Saw, the old left hander
who I work with and love so much for thirty
one years, used to say that if you hang around
this game long enough, you're going to see something you've
never seen before. And that was seven walk in a
row leading to five runs and the second inning after
they had scored five runs in the first on Saturday.
(18:08):
But what was unique was the seven in a row
and then five runs without benefit of a base hit.
I've never seen anything that even remotely equal that. I
think this club has an abundance of problems right now.
You know, you always hear the old adage you can
never have enough pitching. And I thought during spring training,
with what they were counting on for sure, with a
(18:30):
big league club and those that would be down under
in Louisville in the event they would need it, I said,
this club's got more pitching than they'll ever need. All
of a sudden, though they don't Hunter Green, Niclodolo, the
Williamson kid. They've lost pitchers right and left, and all
of a sudden, now they're caught short. Chase Petty is
(18:51):
going to start tonight. He's yet to show that he
can pitch in the big leagues. Last year his short
stint was a disaster. And plus the fact that no
matter how many runs they might have, of two or
three games where they really swing the bats well, this
club is not a good offensive ball club. For whatever
the reason, the people that they've counted on, with the
(19:12):
exception of a couple of hitters, have not delivered. Matt
McClain's one of the biggest disappointments I've ever seen in
my life. So they've got some things that they've got
to correct badly, and they have the misfortune of going
into Chicago tonight to play the club that's in first
place in the Central Division and is rolling right now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Look, you and I talked about this, and we were
on the same page on this. I mean, yes, we
said it looked like they had abundance of pitching, but
we also, you know, sort of had a little caveat
to that in that with Williamson Louder.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And why am I trying to play?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, I mean that these guys did not pitch barely
at all last year, and so even though they were
hot up until their last time through the rotation, they
had a little hiccup couple of weeks ago that at
the end end of the day, I asked the question,
and I think we all have to be asking the
same question again. Is okay Williamson Now he's on the
shelf for a little while. We'll see what's going on
(20:10):
with Louder.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I have no idea but that they probably weren't going
to be pitching or allowed to pitch once you got
into July. So now all of a sudden, you know
you're wondering, Okay, Well, by that time. Do you have
Lodolo back, do you have Hunter green back? I just
I've continued to ask a question even when they were pitching, Well,
is that how long can it last? Because from a
(20:33):
physical standpoint, you're not going to ask these guys who
didn't pitch at all in some cases or very little
in others last year to all of a sudden pitch
one hundred and twenty five hundred and thirty innings this year.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Well, that's a good question. That's a very valid question
given the state of the game today as it appliers
to analytics, and you know, we can't let this pitcher
go beyond five or six innings. One hundred pitches is
the That's a noll for not staying in ball games.
It used to be one that was bandied about by people,
But at the same time, it was not a necessity
(21:08):
that you have to come out. Now, you throw a
hudred pitches or four or five pitches over, you got
to come out of the game under most circumstances. So
I don't disagree with what you say, although I think
when you have young pitchers like Reed, well like Louder
and Chase Berns who got a touch last year, and
then especially in Burns's case, he pitched very well. Louder
(21:31):
had arm problems. You have to judge your decision making
on something, and so you bring them up and you
pitch them, and then you have to deal with whatever
concerns you have after they reach a certain number of innings. Again,
a situation that never was applicable in the old days.
I had to bring it up. But at the same time,
(21:51):
I don't remember, I do not remember as many arm
problems on this club then this team is having right now.
I just wonder if this club is doing something or
not doing something that other clubs who have lesser problems
with keeping their pictures healthy don't have. I really wonder
if that's a factor one way or the other.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
One guy in particular, I want to ask you about because, look,
I've had a chance to broadcast in three different markets
for the local home team. Here's Chicago, Phoenix, and look,
I haven't spent any time regular time in any of
the other cities. So maybe it's unfair of me to
say this, but it seems like Karen Cincinnati baseball is
not a sport where all of a sudden you ride
(22:34):
the highest high and the lowest low on a day
to day basis on what happens the night before, because
it's one hundred and sixty two game schedule. So I'm
not going to go off the reservation here yet on
Connor Phillips. But I got to tell you, I have
more people up and down the radio dial that tells
me how great this guy is, how great his stuff
is all the time. And he walks in a game
(22:56):
the other night, and he walks four batters in a row,
he's throwing three two breaking balls, three two change ups,
can't find the plate. I mean, everybody talking about him
he's going to be the closer by the Maybe he
will be, but I mean, when all of a sudden
do you say, hey, look, you know, the guy's been
around long enough now, maybe not to get everybody out,
(23:17):
but at least throw the ball over the plate.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Tom I said that the second week of the season,
not particularly about him, but he was included about the
concern I had for this team pitching wise, was the
back ends of the bullpen. Now, your back ends on
this club unless it changes, includes Tolly Santion obviously Pegan
who's a closer, and Connor Phillips and I said, there
(23:46):
are a couple of these guys that have stretches where
they cannot throw the ball over the plate. I said,
I'm not single love Connor Phillips, and I do say
one thing. There's not a picture on the staff that's
got better stuff, no doubt, no doubt, he's got dominant stuff.
But it's not worth the damn if you can't throw
the ball over the play. And to me, what he
did the other day was inexcusable unless he's got something
(24:09):
wrong with him. That was a joke, whether it be early,
whether it be late, if you can't have pictures, especially
late when you're trying to protect the lead. And Fantian
for the most part, has been very, very good, although
he will reach there will be times when he can't
throw the ball over the plate. But they've got to
figure out how they can get more consistency out of
(24:30):
Connor Phillips. And he's been that way his entire pro career.
Everybody would say the one thing he's got going against
him is he's inconsistent the strike zone. Well up here,
that doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
All right, So what about a guy like Chase Petty.
Now we've seen a little bit of him. You know,
you read all the rankings about where he is on
the top prospects in the Cincinnati Reds organization. We're not
going to base his future on just one game tonight.
They're in a bind, so they're bringing him up. What
do you think about him?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Well, I think yes, he can pitch into big leagues,
but again, he's very been very inconsistent. I don't know
that he pitched all that well down in Louisville since
the season began. But out of necessity he's up here
pitching tonight because they don't have anybody else. I mean,
you know, those two games Friday and Saturday blew up.
They're both been so bad. Thank god for Chase Spurns. Yes,
(25:20):
that he was outstanding. I mean, you can't pitch any
better than that kid pitched yesterday and you get beat
one to nothing. But we'll see. This is a time
when you your people down under in Louisville a triple
A need to step up and prove that if necessary,
long range or short term, depending upon what the situation is,
(25:44):
you've got to be able to come up here and
give your team a shot in the arm. His previous
appearances in the Big leagues have left a whole lot
to be desired.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
All right, I want to get to a couple of
other topics. You're going to expand the NCAA basketball tournament.
You're a big college basketball fan, you a fan of
this move?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I all no, it's all about money. Everything is all
about money. For God's sake, that's what it is. To
reap more benefit financially from the networks who are willing
to write blank checks to whatever they have to write
checks for. As far as the NCAA Tournament is concerned,
I think they're now going overboard. Like the NCAA, the
most worthless organization on the face of this earth. They
(26:27):
do nothing, they do nothing, and here they are announcing
that they're going to expand. I just I scratched my
head in wonderment sometime. But at the end of the day,
I also understand that it's all about the almighty dollar.
All right.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Let's get to Bill Belichick now.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Why him and his girlfriend Jordan Hudson spent their weekend
in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
They went to.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The races plural on Friday, and I mean the outfits
were unbelievable. He is always He's been known by the way,
even before he met her, you know, people would see
him on the sideline and he'd have the ripped up
pudding and all that kind of thing. But when he
would dress up, he is quite the style guy and
has been for a long long time. Yeah, no, he
(27:12):
really does.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
He does not wear clothes.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, I didn't say as well.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I just said that he knows fashion and how to
look good or has somebody helping him.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
You're a good friend.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Uh you bet.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
What's his name, the guy in Chapel Hill that designs
all the clothes, Julian.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
What's his name, Alexander Julian.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, so he had on this this Carolina blue sport
coat looking good, and they walked actually down the track
together on Friday. And I loved her little caption to
the collage of pictures. She does have a good sense
of humor. She said, this is not the first time
we've trudged through the mud together.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
They get dragged through the.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Mud all the time, both of them.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Whats you so? Man? You report you so? I don't
know why we are wasting our time on talking about
Bill Belichick and that girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, because Conningham loves talking about it. He loves talking
about Jordan Hudson. We're just setting the stage for him
coming back today from being a little under the weather
down in Naples.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, okay, well that's fine. He's got something to talk about.
I don't care. It doesn't make any difference to me.
I'm glad that they trust you the much. God bless
them for that. He ought to be more worried about
what kind of football record he's going to have when
this season comes to it end, because if it's as
bad as it was last year, he will be a
fond memory at Chapel Hill.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, it just came out officially, after all of a
sudden done. They have the fourteenth best recruiting class in
college football in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
We'll see how that works out. I hope, for the
sake of the university and for the sake of my
interest in Carolina football, I hope that every bit of
that is true. But I have to see it to
believe it. After last year.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
All right, let's get a little advice from Marty before
we let you get out of here. I'm sure there
are a lot of people listening right now. I'm being
serious about this because there are a lot of people
that they always talk about wanting, you know, a bucket
list kind of thing, right, everybody has one and for
some people at seeing a baseball game at Wrigley Field.
So you have night games tonight, Tomorrow night, Wednesday, night
day game Thursday. I'm sure there are people right now
(29:21):
in their cars driving up to Chicago first time they've
ever been to Wrigley if there are good if they
are going there for the first time, what would Marty
Brenneman suggest would be a must thing or two to
do you mean, yeah, or or you know, to start
your day a joint to go to maybe somewhere out
of the game.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Well, I would I would get out there. I would
get out there early and absorb the ambiance of the
area around the ballpark, because I think it's truly unique
in Major League Baseball. Maybe Fenway Park in Boston could
equal the ambiance. Uh, there are a lot of things,
you know, bars and such as that, restaurants around the
(30:03):
park that certainly are going to be filled with cub
fans and people that love the game of baseball. That
would be about the only thing I would say if
you've never been to get there early, and maybe you
want to go. I would take a dim view of
if you've got kids, I would not sit in the bleachers,
because that's a different breed account out there. I would
(30:25):
not I would not take kids to the bleachers from
Powell Line to Foul Line. I'd stay away from it.
I'm with you there, that's something not to do. But
aside from that, I think I just say, you've heard.
All you've ever heard, all you've ever heard about is
how great Wrigley Field is. Go to the ballgame, enjoy it,
Hope the weather is good. It's one of my three
(30:46):
top ballparks in all of baseball, and it always will be.
I love going to Chicago, I love going to Wrigley
Field and working there, and I'm always will always be
a big fan of the ballpark.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
All right, Well, I know you'll be dialed in, so
thanks for the time. As always, Hope you have a
great rest of your week.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I'm glad you're getting a long better probum. Glad the
surgery was great, and I'll look forward to seeing you
next Monday.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Absolutely
