A Jeff World Junior Champion.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Thank you very very much. There's no Zachly here, Sir Parry,

Speaker 5 (02:54):
It's cool, right, Honestly, it's the best tournament a young
hockey player can play in. You it's it's a it's
a bit of a status symbol, but honestly, you get
to play against as a player. When you get there,
you're playing against the next generation of NHL ers, and
not just the next generation. You're playing against the Sergey Samson,
the Joe Thornton's, the best players, the superstars of the
(03:16):
next generation. And you can go up and you show
yourself there. You can make a name of yourself in
that tournament. You've got a good chance of making it
to the NHL. And it is that. It's just that passionate.
It's international hockey. We sought the form nations.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Thank you, I appreciate it. On traffic camera so.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I gotta go home early this time. This is just once.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
No I can talk.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
About that journey forever.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I know.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
It's awesome to buy some tickets. It's incredible. I love
that's here in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Please please please support it absolutely.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Okay, you can go on, thank you, you can do it.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I just got to get the news. I got one minute.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I got so much to talked about. Like this traffic
cameras they're bringing speeding down. That's working Corey right by
in Minneapolis. Data so the five locations are a little
safer after new cameras were installed. The data also showed
that the amount of drivers caught going twenty miles per
hour over the speed limit has decreased by seventy six percent.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Have you seen these yet, anybody? I have not known.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
When we were downtown the other day for the Prince thing,
as you were leaving the parking rides, there were signs
everywhere saying you are in a monitored speeding area row.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, right, checking the mail, and.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
There's no doubt when I saw that sign. You better
believe I was watching myself. There's no doubt about it. Yeah, absolutely,
so they're out there.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Those I don't remember what town I was driving through
to go lose money at a poker tournament in Iowa,
a handful of or orth but I got I got
one of those things in the mail, and I'm like,
what the hell. I wish I would remember, because I
should remember in the future to not drive fast through
that town. But it's a pain in the ass because
you know they got you dead to rights, right, they
(04:55):
know they know it wasn't like some guy on the
side of the road.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
The cameras caught you. Yeah, there's no disputing that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm sure you could try, but I guess, as you
lose every time in court.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, I wasn't going that fast. Yeah you're on camera.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah me, look at you, and you're flipping the bird, right.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
That's why we sent you the ticket cocaine.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
After giving out warnings for the first month of the
new cameras, the city will begin giving out tickets at
the locations starting on Monday.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So you were given a warning so far.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
It's all warnings, all right, So tickets start Monday.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Your warnings and warning.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah, Minneapolis could add additional forty to its network by
twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Well, remind me to never go to Minneapolis again.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, right, like they have to remind you. Nothing is the.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Closest you get. I know it's outside.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, I don't even walking through the parking ramps too
much outside air yick.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, where do you leave to go to Florida?
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I leave Sunday night. I hope your flight goes brother,
and I'm back Thursday.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
The FAA is cutting flights from Minneapolis St. Paul and
International Airport due to the government shut down. MSP is
expected to have forty one flights cut by today.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I still have the same question that we had a
couple of days ago, is are these major routes or
who decides which flights are getting cut? The airlines themselves,
The airports. I don't understand how that part works.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
I gotta believe it's it is contingent upon where they're
going to, because I I can't even imagine how they
do that job. If you decide if your flight's going
somewhere where flights are getting cut, and that flight you're
going to is get I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I don't know, man, Yeah, I don't know. Greasy, it
is getting greasy.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
A lot of good cues, not a lot of it's a.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Lot of good, a lot of good. But we have them.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
They're fine.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
We got them your cues.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Let's see that story doesn't matter. That's kind of silly.
That one's silly too. I got nothing but silly news
left to be honest.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
That's fine with that what we do? Okay?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Starbucks dropped a thirty dollars Barista gold cup yesterday and
if you didn't get one.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Then you might be out of luck.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
What does that mean?
Speaker 6 (06:59):
The glass cup shaped like a bear sold out within
minutes of becoming available in nationwide. Some have already made
their way to the secondary market with listings and hundreds
of dollars. I have no idea why people wanted the
barrista bear rista, so it's spelled b e a R
Barista gold Cup.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I don't know a bear, Huh, I get my honey
out of a bear? Yep, yeah, I don't know if
I need my Starbucks since.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Zach gets his honey out of a bear. Well, yeah
you yep? Are you sure? Yeah? No, I get it?
Grand Grand Theft Auto six right now?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Again, I was hoping we weren't going to talk about
what happened.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Get ready, he goes and look at watch watch Corey's face.
Grand Theft Auto six is being delayed yet again. Take
two announced the highly anticipated open World game would now
release next year on November.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Nineteenth, another full year I was supposed to be May
twenty sixth.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
The company's CEO did not give a reason for the delay,
but said, we're all too high to get any work done.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Man, No you didn't, so did I just have a guess?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Were we supposed to get it? Was this this?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I think originally it was supposed to be this fall,
maybe even earlier originally, but.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The originally heard by Christmas this year?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, and now it's a full year out.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Look as a guy that doesn't go outside a lot
doesn't really matter. But if I'm going to spend one
hundred hours plus playing a game, sure release it in November. Yeah,
you know what I mean, it's better I got nothing
to do, suns down by five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
But a year from now, I know that sucks.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
I mean, there's a real good chance one of us
isn't still going to be here.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Hi, I didn't mean employed.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Oh like Dad, that's been nice knowing you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
No, it's not you. Oh thank god.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I just you know, everybody's cracking jokes on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Like what somebody posted the poll? Was it Powdrick Bets
who posted the poll? Like what happens first? Like the
Wild win the title, the I can win the Super Bowl?
Maybe it was Zach or Grand Theft six is released,
It's like, uh yeah, this is it is.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
It's nuts.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But like games like Red Dead two that take, you know,
twelve years to make, and now now we're at Grand
Theft six is what something like fourteen years? I think,
so since Grand Theft five, it's something like that. It's
worth it because it will blow your mind. Grand Theft
five I couldn't believe, and everything we've seen from six
(09:41):
looks exponentially better and bigger. But again, are we going
to live to see it? Is it going to be
four more years?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Grant?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Theft five came out in twenty thirteen, Is that sound right? Yeah,
that sounds about right. It's twelve years ago. Yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Turner and I are looking forward to the new one.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Man, Well, Turner's gonna have yeah, well yeah, what would
you be worth to go back and play the last week?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And we've never played? Neither one of us who played five?
Five holds?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh my gosh, yeah, I mean and Trevor.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Trevor is one of the all time characters fifteen six.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
He's ready the stuff he plays on his computer?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Are you kidding me? How's he going to learn to drive?
If you don't show him Grand Theft.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Five and and how to treat to hook her without driver?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
He's gonna learn.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
You just stab them and get your money back and
then drive off.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah with anything? Man does it? Does it? Philip flat
hold matter?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, just turn up the hall touch before you broke.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Her had her own van?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Sure my god, yeah, she's I mean you you stole
a van and then picked her up and so it's
not hers?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Ye, okay, got it. Okay, cool.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Going to that game is so much.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
It's fun. Honestly, you would love it. I'm kind of
jealous you've never.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah, I'm looking forward. We're kind of looking forward to
this one. But no, no, I think we might have
to go backtrack a little.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Yeah, or just go back to Red Dead, go to
Valentine and oh yeah, you know something he's got to learn.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
You know, he still gives me crap and I don't
know how he remembers this. Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
For literally, the first thing I did on that game
was shoot my head in the horse.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Shoot your head and the horse.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
What I say is that, like, shoot my style, Mark, Mark,
do me, do me a favorite point to your horse
for a second.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
What do you think is your horse? They sing, hats
your ear? No, if it's the horse's and it's right here. Okay,
shoot my head And that's the title of the podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
We gotta go to Hype. We'll be right back. We're
gonna go shoot a head in the horse.

just no big deal. The new manager of the Minnesota
Twins join the Good morning, Derek, how are you morning?
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
We were doing the pleasantries with Marnie and I was
wondering why I look a lot older after six years,
and she looks a lot younger.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
She signed a deal with the devil, that one over there.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's all right, do what you gotta do. The beard,
it's a little bit jarring.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
It's a little dark, little lighter. Yeah, it was softer.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Wait a minute, Marny, you've got a beard.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, he said, a lot change in six years. It
is mad, it's mad, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, thanks guys.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
So you guys know each other through what baseball? Yeah,
we share the same barber.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
When I was when I was here the first time,
Martie was doing sideline stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Yeah, Actually the first female Twins play by play if
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Correct, Yeah, just story.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Yeah, how cool is that? Well, it's an honor to
have you on the show. We appreciate it very much.
I'm Chris by the way, and get say the show.
Good to meet you over there. Thank you for coming in.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I heard you. I'm with Dan the other day.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
It was a fun interview and when I heard, you'all thought, well,
this this guy is going to be great for the
part of Morningy. Sure you're going to fit right in.
And have you had the displeasure of hearing the stupid
show before you go?
Speaker 10 (13:43):
I have heard a little bit of it, but that's
about enough to be part of it.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I am really excited about.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well, and if you heard the initials game, do you
feel like you're ready for that.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
I'm definitely not ready for that. I did hear Ryan Jeffers,
and that's a lot of pressure and do not have
the expectation of how that went.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, he was very good. Set the bar pretty high,
Yeah he did.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I don't need that.
Speaker 10 (14:02):
You guys can could just say like, okay, I mean
I don't think set the bar very high.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
That's like the third time that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Scar again, you're in the profession though, of expectations right
and trying to meet me.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I speaking of the Dan Berrera interview from a couple
of days ago.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It sounded like maybe the person that instilled high expectations
in you was your dad. That was the part that
I caught that I thought was super fascinating, that he
put the pressure on you, right, he expected the most
out of you and essentially at all times.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, right from the jump.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
My father was a high school teacher, administrator, coach high expectations.
I think it was one of those things like set
the example for everybody else, like I'm not going to
favor my kids, and he didn't. And I think one
of the things I said to Dan now, it's funny
when my friends who grew up with my dad because
they were all in school with him, they see him
in there, like he's so soft, and I don't know
if you've ever met my dad, Marty being here, he
(14:58):
is like the nicest human being.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I tell people exact of me.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I'm like, he is the nicest human being alive now
and my friends now are like, dude, where'd the hard
guy go?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, but everybody says you're super nice. You seem nice.
I mean, I've known you for two and a half minutes,
but you seem nice.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I appreciate that. I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Give me, give me a couple of months.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
You are nice, Shelty.
Speaker 11 (15:17):
You are really well liked, easy to talk to, fun
to be around, kind of guy. And when I knew
you better six seven six seven, come on, I.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Don't know gives You're not that Yu.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
That that stood out to all of us like you
were just Shelty and you were the guy and fun.
And then when you move into managerial roles, as you
did with Pittsburgh, as you now do with the Twins,
I'm wondering if you can still be that same guy,
because you have to find a different level of hard
a once in a while in order to be the
(15:57):
manager that a successful manager to imagine.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
I think you definitely have to you know, command, I
don't know command respect, but make sure there's respect there.
But I don't think you change your personality. I mean,
I've been this way my entire professional career. I presented
myself that way in Pittsburgh. May have gotten away from
it a little bit just because of the fact that
you know, the job beats you down a little bit.
But when you have four months to sit at home
and you have nothing to do, and actually I was
(16:22):
doing this, I was I was doing radio stuff for
Serious XM, you kind of find yourself again. So the
energy is back, and I think one of the things
that was really important. And everybody's asked like why back here,
and you were with me back then, like, I love
being in Minnesota. My family was really excited about the opportunity.
It just kind of feels like it's home. So I
feel like I'm kind of rejuvenated a little bit.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Derek Shelton again is our guest, and we're glad to
have you and excited to have you on back with
the Twins. My first question wife two. The first one
is what is a bench coach? Another reason I asked
that is because we had this discussion on what Monday,
Corey is a right and none of us had an
answer and we neglected to look it up on Google.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
I mean, why does a bench need to be come
that's right?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, So Saus had a really long winded answer that
we could sum up.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
He basically would like to hear it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, explained to Derek what he did while he was
a member of the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
I think a bench coach is somebody who does some
of the jobs that the manager doesn't want to do.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Like that, you did not instill a lot of confidence.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
The one thing I did learn is like if you
trailed down at the end, your bosses will be like,
you know, project yourself, so you are not very confident
in that or.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
A suit dog.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
What are some of those jobs maybe that a manager
might not want to get.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
GPT this, yes, like look over the lineup? Are you
asking her baseball? Yes?
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Yeah, Well managers.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Don't want to talk baseball, well.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
They do, but like you also can talk baseball and
sometimes I would guess bench coach also, like if the
manager has a decision, he'll ask the bench coaches like
a second opinion.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You're kind of like a doctor second opinion.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Not funny if I should.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Have trailed off on that one.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
That was one of those when you.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Got to the point you maybe should have not said
the last list correct soup until that point. Yes, you are,
you talk about the lineup with whoever the manager is.
But the biggest role of the bench coach is you
help run the culture of your clubhouse. Like people don't
want you know when you're the bench coach. And I
think Marnie kind of put it like you're out, you're relational,
(18:37):
you're talking to people Like when I was a bench
coach and like Joe was here, I would go out
and have the conversations with Joe of like how you.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Feeling, like when do you need a day off?
Speaker 10 (18:44):
Where you're at a lot of those times, the player
doesn't want to talk to the manager because he's the
one making the decision, so he's kind of the person
in between bullpen guys.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
It's huge, you know.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
You you walk around and talk to bullpen guys and
they're like, you know, the hell did he pitch me
in the seventh and not the eighth? And you're all right,
this was the reasoning this, And they don't want to
ask the manager because the one that the manager is
the one making a decision. It's a really important role
for the manager because he's the person that has the
pulse of everything that's going on. He's the guy that
walks in and is like, hey, you probably need to
go talk to Marnie because you know, he's not in
(19:18):
a good sport.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Sorry, she's not in a good spot.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
The bear Beard she's not in a good spot. Like
those are the things.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
So yeah, and then the actually, the bench coach is
the greatest job of all time because you can sit
all game long and give suggestions to the manager and
then you don't stand in front of the media and answer.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Their question at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's great, all right.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Question number two of my two partern it's nineteen eighty seven.
You're in your buddies Camaro. What's in the cassette Motley
Crueer talking heads? Because we were both born in nineteen seventy,
So what what was in the cassette player Motley Crueer
talking heads?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Oh you look a lot better than I do. Oh
stop that now, I keep going. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
It would have been a.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
Navy Blue Z twenty eighth that my buddy had. Those
were sick, Yeah, and it was.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
It would have been.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Motley crue Yeah, it would have been It would have
been Motley Cruz. So yeah, that's that's what I have been.
That's maybe some poison.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
Oh yeah, and you're a pearl Jam guy.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
I'm a huge Pearl Jam Like I am through and
through pearl Jam all day them all here. Yeah, the
greatest moment of my life was one of the greatest moment.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
God, my life's not listening.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
He probably attest to this, uh, and I want you
to come down to target Field once we once we
get my office done.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But my office in.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
Pittsburgh had four Pearl Jam posters and it had a
Pearl Jam guitar signed by the whole band that I
got for Christmas a couple of years. But one of
the greatest, I'll say one of the greatest moments of
my life was a couple of years ago at the
United Center today that they retired Cheli.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
I was there and going backstage and seeing Eddie and
my wife still to this day was like that was
an extendedly long hug, way too long hugg video.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
He hugged me just as long and then I have
a picture of me him and Kelly.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
It's cool, especially that Yeah yeah Morenoi our boy, Morenoa's
good buddies with Vettera, and yeah, getting a chance to
meet Vetter was all time, like hangout with I mean,
especially at my high point when I was so drunk.
I asked him to sign a poster and sign it
to my brother go up yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeap, he did it for and he did.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah, he tried to get me to change.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
No way I was changing that one. He said. That's
the thing.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Eddie is a huge baseball fan, like huge, Like the
first time I saw Pearl Jam it was like me,
Sean Casey, Bronson Arroyo and Mark Kayaffa, who is a
VP at the MLB Network. I mean it was like
it's always the day I was back there, there was
like an Ian happ jersey because it was in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It was great. I mean, he is the best.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
But yeah, the guitar that I have signed, and I'm
really debating this because this car car is really sick,
but it has the Pirate's logo on it. But also
it has twenty one Forever on the back because he's
a big Clemente fan. The commented Museum in Pittsburgh is
really special. My wife's actually a board member there and
he'll come in like when he's in Pittsburgh. And I
will tell you the thing I was probably I shouldn't
(22:10):
say the thing I was most mad about when I
got fired. But the last date of their tour was
a week later from when I got fired. In Pittsburgh
the tour in Pittsburgh and I did not go.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
So then do you believe in the old adage that
athletes want to be rockstars and rockstars athletes?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Amen?
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yeah, we all do.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Do you play anything up any guitar?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
No?
Speaker 7 (22:36):
I am the most musically.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Yeah, not very articulate, but uh yeah, I can't play anything,
can't saying anything, none.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Zero.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
You just appreciate it when I.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Just appreciate it when I hear it and should not
like yeah, exactly, Yeah, you're okay, yeah right.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, yeah, like you know Pearl Jam fans giant headbangers.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
Back in the day, back in the day when he
jumped out the scaffling.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, it do a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
All right, Derek Sheldon is here. This is super cool.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
He's going to play Initials in like forty five minutes
or so.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
One of you has a shot.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Is it one hundred and three?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I gotta check the emails. One hundred and three thousand
dollars now, especially up for grabs with the Saint Paul
Federal Credit Union Initials Jack Belt. We'll we'll ask Derek
some more questions about the twins, about his life, about
his job. We'll talk vic is at some point in
the next forty five minutes percent potentially as well.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Marnie is here, Parish is here. This is the Power
to Monty Show on the Fan.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Of Morning Show.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Welcome back cast the thousands in the main studio, including
our new friends Shelley.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yes, he's Shelty. There you go. We're getting I like that.
That's a way better. I like that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, that's a that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I feel like that's kind of a pro sports thing.
It's like it's coach, coach, coach, you know, all the
way up and then you get up to the professional
sports and it's Hey, it's you know, it's Shelty, it's
Arry Steve.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
You gotta have a nickname, Sauce. Do you prefer Paul
or Sauce? I don't care what you call me. Oh
you want to be the bench coach though, I'm going
I'm going through that process right now.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I'd be great at it. Do you think what number
would you wear?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Sauce?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Seventy five? It's also my favorite number and my IQ.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
What if what if like we did breaking news and
Sauce but became the bench coach?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Sweet? I would love to see him in a baseball uniform.
What are the hours like?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Oh yeah, what do you only work certain hours?
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Because you do have to put in a lot of
time as the bench coach and you cannot.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
His wife just called and said, please hire him.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, I would be honored. Do bench coaches have to
pay attention to the game? Yes, oh you're.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Out yea.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
On my phone during the game. That is also rules
about that.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Then he just sit there and eat sunflower seeds. Intact,
we could probably create a position for them some either.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Yeah, I could do that. You would have to show
up for the games, though I can do that.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
He can, he does show up. I'll give him that.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He's not busy. Yeah, yeah, you're not busy. His schedule
is wide open.
Speaker 11 (25:43):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I mean, I'm pretty good at MLB the show man
you are.
Speaker 10 (25:47):
Oh yeah, so you can help create lips then, oh,
you know, you just can't pick from every team though,
we can't.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Like Aaron Judges on.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Our team today. That's what I do.
Speaker 10 (25:57):
Any juniors on our team of course?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Just who's on your tea? Who's your number one guy?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Your former player Paul Skeens is my starting pitcher? Really good, Scott,
you are a good Scott. That schooble guy. I don't
know how to pronounce his first school. Dark school is
my probably number two. Then, so the Trusy Young Award
winners is you've got this? That's on easy.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Didn't you say almost a year ago, didn't you say
that if Ryan Jefferson initials you were going to trade
for him?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
I actually heard that aadle Rushman. Yeah, badly Rutchman. But
now I want to have the big Dumper that's his nickname.
I just react. No, you and I could be buddy,
we can't. It is tired of do you go? I
do not golf, That's all right.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I don't. I golf, but I'm not very good.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Well, I'm terrible at it too. What do you do
while you're golfing?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
I'm on my phone, okay, thinking.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
About the MLB, the show. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
That's why when we go golfing, I'm on the motorcycle
all by myself.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, sheelty.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
If Sas was your bench coach, he would have to
wear a uniform, he would had to toe. Do you
guys ever find that strange? Because I work in the NBA.
These guys work in the NFL. None of the coaches
wear the uniforms of the players, Yet in baseball, all
of you is do Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
It bothers My father in law, he's like a football
and wrestling guy. He was a football and wrestling coach
in high school and to this day, I mean, Ali
and I have been married for almost twenty years, and
every year he's like, why do you have uniform on?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He's like, this is stupid.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
I think it goes back to when the player's manager,
like they did the dual role when they coached.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I think that's where it goes back to.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
But yeah, I've always wondered if like that's the transition
of going to you know, now the guys in the
NBA are wearing sweats. Like when I was growing up,
it was pat Riley and Slick back here and he
was looking cool in suits. And now everybody's in sweats.
So I'm curious if they would ever go there. The
other thing I don't understand why now is like why
do we have numbers?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, I mean why do we?
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Like I mean, I'm excited, like I'm wearing the number
I war was, you know, as a high school player
and college player here, But like it doesn't there's no
it's not relevant that I have a number on What
would I don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
What would happen if you just walked out in warm
up pants.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
You can't.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
That's the thing you have to be in, like you
have to be in license. Yeah, even like pregame, you're
supposed to be anything. I think it's Nike now has
the contract and they want you in anything that's by Nike,
So it's all licensed to peril because they're paying a
lot of money for that. I mean like you guys
have Vikings gear on and it's it's it's a Nike
like you're you.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
They're paying for that. They want to see you in it.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
And they have people making sure you have it on sure.
Speaker 10 (28:47):
Yeah, and now and I mean now too with the
fact that there's there's title sponsors on on jerseys too.
You gotta make sure it's really important. Walk us through
your baseball career. You said you played college baseball. Do
you get to the pros? How did that work out?
Your backstory?
Speaker 7 (29:02):
I played, I played in high school.
Speaker 10 (29:03):
I played in college at Southern Illinois in Carbondale, and
played briefly in the minor leagues for the Yankees. You
know a lot of people like, if you read my
Wikipedia page, I think it says I my career ended
because I got hurt.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Well, I did get hurt, but I was also not
very good.
Speaker 10 (29:19):
If you want to hire, like, I'll hide behind the
injury and say like, yeah, it's because I got hurt.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Like, I wasn't very good.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
And then I got into coaching at a really young age,
so I was fortunate. I played for the Yankees when
the Yankees all those young guys were good that ended
up being on those teams at one and then I
was coaching in the minor leagues when those guys got
to the big leagues.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh, WoT cool?
Speaker 10 (29:38):
And was your dad in the majors? No, he played
in the minor leagues also, he played. He actually his
career actually ended because he did get hurt.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
He got hurt. He played for the Orioles back in
the late sixties.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Very cool. Yeah, any other sports while you were in
high school?
Speaker 11 (29:52):
Anything else?
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Yeah, I mean I grew up in the Midwest, so
we played you know, it was seasonal. We played football,
we played basketball, we played baseball.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Which the way it should be.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
I know, it's still very prevalent here.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
I live in Florida now, so like my oldest played
baseball in the fall, and he played baseball in the spring.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
They don't.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
Kids just don't play multiple sports now because there's spring football,
there's there's fall football. I mean, my youngest plays volleyball
and that's year round. And if you're a club volleyball dad,
which I was for four months when I was fired,
oh that's tough. Like you don't know how you live
until your wife yells at she'd have quit yelling at
someone that's not your own kid for not moving their feet.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
So that's what I like.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
I was like, my wife grabbed me and she's like,
you need to shut up. I'm like, well, she needs
to move her feet. I'm like, she's not moving her feet.
So and now I've become the guy that likes you know.
I always used to make fun of them, and I
don't know if anybody here has kids that play club volleyball.
There's always like He's always like dads that stand off
to the side, And I was always like those guys,
(30:49):
what the I'm that guy now And I got one dad,
thank god. Who it doesn't matter which kid it is,
if it's mine, if it's his, yeah, you're getting the
full rations of what we think is going on, the.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Full play by play. Yeah, I've seen your type.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I've turned it. And then when you
go to the big tournaments, the oh my god, that's well.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
Club sports in general doesn't have to be volleyball, but
club sports in general are just wild.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Wild.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
It's a whole new level.
Speaker 10 (31:19):
Have you been to the AAU one that in Orlando
where it's like one hundred and eighty courts? Oh my gosh,
Oh good god. It's like the loudest thing of all time.
There's so many kids.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Is that the Disney complex, That Giant.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Is at the convention Center, it's crazy.
Speaker 11 (31:33):
Even the Minneapolis Convention Center when they when they configure
that for a volleyball tournament, it's incredible.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
There's a big one here at Minneapolis.
Speaker 10 (31:40):
In fact, Ali actually told me last night because we
just this is where I'm going. We ended up transferring
to the Philly one, which you guys don't care about,
and out of Orlando, and so we're going to Boston,
and I was like, I really wish we were coming
to the to the one in Minnesota because it's evidently
it's a really good one, but it's it I think
it's during spring training.
Speaker 11 (31:58):
Well there are multiple I mean, the Convention Center has
multiple volleyball tournaments throughout the winter.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Welcome back to volleyball talk.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
So hopefully i'll see you around.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Oh yeah, well, and and your daughter better be moving
her feet so you see her, you tell her move
your feet.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
So what else we know you like Pearl gim We
know you like baseball.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
What else do you do when you are not doing
uh kids' activities or trying to manage a major league
baseball team?
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Really not much. I don't have a lot of hobbies
like we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I don't golf.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
I you know, I went out after I got let
go by the Pirates one day. I dropped John off
at volleyball practice and went and hit balls, and I
was like, I suck at this and I got frustrated
and put my clubs away and didn't play the rest
of the time. I really don't do anything, you know
what I mean. I don't fish. I like to go
out in the boat, but I don't fish them out there.
Last time I was here, I don't know if you
guys heard this story. I fell in the water. This
(32:54):
is really I purified myself right, Yeah, purified myself.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
The greatest thing that happened here.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
And I want to say this, I was not I
was sober okay when it happened. So reached over to
pick up something that fell in the water, and hot
Rod was driving the boat, Rodney McCormick, the clubhouse guy
for the Twins, and he was like, I'll get it,
I'll get it, and just I didn't listen and it
reached over and we hit a wave and I fell
in fully closed.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
It was awesome.
Speaker 10 (33:22):
The people that were with me, though, thank god, they
picked up my phone and video instead of their own phone.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
So the only place that video is at is on
my phone.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
But really, you know, I feel it's kind of like
it transformed me into purifying myself to come back.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's there, you go.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
That's it going to take for you to post that video?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Nothing?
Speaker 7 (33:40):
What'd you say the jack?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
That's not enough.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
If you're just tuning in. That's Derek Shelton Shelty, our friend,
the knew manager of your Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
We don't do this very often, but.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
I'm actually going to ask you real sports questions because
I heard you on with Brera and I thought it
was great by the way, and when he was talking
to you, asking you the real question because he's a
real reporter about you know, losing the job in Pittsburgh
and then coming back to coach the Twins. He asked
all the right questions. But something you pointed out that
I thought was really fascinating. You said, you made a
list of the things you did wrong. Can you give
us a little I mean, what do you think you'd
(34:12):
quote unquote did wrong the first time around that you
want to do better this time?
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Well, there's a whole page in my notes of that.
Speaker 10 (34:17):
So I mean, I think the two biggest things so honestly,
is I think at the end, I got really impatient.
You know, we weren't playing well, and I think I
got impatient. I got frustrated, probably easier lost a little
bit of the personality that you were talking about earlier, Marnie,
So like I kind of had to check myself there.
And then I think the second thing was and this
was something that in terms of like reflection not only
(34:38):
on myself in relationships but other people that I observed
is in today's game, and it's a little different Perry
than from probably when you played. Is like you have
a conversation with the player in what they hear and
what you say sometimes does it translate, So you have
to go back and follow up and be like this
is exactly what you meant. And I think I didn't
do a very good job of that. I just kind
(34:59):
of made the assumption like, Okay, they understand what I'm
talking about, are what my point was, And then it
would either come back in a conversation with somebody else
of like, hey, this is what was said and I'm like, wait,
that's not what I meant. And then I also realized
in the people I was dealing with, sometimes they would
say things to me and I would interpret it in
a different way. So that was a really big self reflection.
(35:19):
But I'm going to tell you, like that didn't happen
right away because you know, I don't know if any
of you guys have ever been let go, but in.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
This business, yeah yeah, oh I have.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
So in this business, like it happens in sports, it happens,
you get released, you get fired. And this time, like
having four months to go home, I went home. I
went through like the whole grieving period, the I'm mad,
I'm you know, I'm bit or whatever, and then once
I got to the reflective period, it was like, all right,
I need to do things better, to do this again.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
You think you'd get another chance?
Speaker 10 (35:47):
Yeah, I did. I mean I didn't know. I honestly,
I didn't know if it was going to be this year.
You just never know in hiring cycles what's going to happen.
This year there happened to be eight jobs that were open.
I think people thought there were going to be four
jobs that were open, ended up being eight. I mean,
the last time I got hired in Pittsburgh, they it
was the last job for a while because then COVID
happened and then there was a lockout, so things happened.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (36:10):
I mean, just quite honestly, this is the job I
wanted from the jump. And that's a little that's a
little sad to say because Rocko is a very close
friend of mine, So like when I didn't want it
when he had it, but then when it opened up,
it was like, you know, Okay, that's that's the place
I want to be interesting. That's fantas. I want to
talk more about that, but we have a very special
guest on the hotline. Could you punch up line ten
(36:32):
for me? Somebody called in to talk trash. Hello caller,
Please go ahead.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
Shelty, It's it's Jeffers.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
I heard you doing I heard you doing the initials game.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (36:43):
I just want to let you know it takes a
special person to win on the first time. They have
put a lot of pressure on me, Jeff and I
am nervous, Like I actually listened to yours last night.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Mitch sent it to me last night.
Speaker 10 (36:55):
And I'm going to tell you when you got ear
tubes out of the jump, I am like, I am screwed.
I'm going to tell you I did get English teacher
uh before you, So I am, but I I am.
I am nervous though, because all they've done is tell
me how great you are at this. I will say
that Sauce still does not have you on his MLB
the Show team, which is making me mad. He still
(37:16):
has Rushman and he promised you one.
Speaker 7 (37:19):
Bit, probably one bit.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I also don't let his Marnie in there.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah she is, Oh yeah, don't let her.
Speaker 10 (37:25):
Don't let her scari You'll talk a big game, pray
big clause, but she's just a little kitty at heart.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Ryan, Why are you coming back and getting in the
ring again. We want you back at some point to
play again.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out, workout.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
So I got a roll, but good luck. You put
more pressure on me.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
You have one of my own players.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Go ahead, do it, Mitch, you to get on the show.
Speaker 10 (37:57):
He's listening in Wilmington, North Carolina. That see you got
dedication worlds the best worldwide.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Hey, real quick, this is a ten second answer. Who'd
you work with?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
It's serious when it came to like baseball radio, who
are you working with?
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I worked with a full group.
Speaker 10 (38:10):
I did the morning show with Steve Phillips, so the
leadoff spot, which is on half it's half radio half
TV and then loud Outs in the afternoon. So that's
always that's hosted by a bunch of players.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
So C. J.
Speaker 10 (38:22):
Dikowski and Ryan Spoelberg's are the two main hosts. And
then I just kind of flipped in and then I
actually covered the Alcs like on site in.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Toronto, so that was fun.
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Dandy Wexslman Dady Wetsman has a show on Sundays called
Sunday Sliders that I did with her. And then I
will tell you the most nervous I've been in the
last probably ten to fifteen years. Is when you're doing
when you're the second person, it's easy because like you're
going off the host and you talk. But they called
me in there like do you want to host? And
I was like what. My exact response was like do
you think I'm ready for that?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
And the producer was like, we'll find out.
Speaker 10 (38:56):
You got to do the reads, you got to go
in and out, you got to have the transitions, you
got to be on time because of the sponsors. So
like that's and then the worst part about it is
my wife worked in radio. She she's from Cleveland. That's
how we met. She was on the radio. What kind
of radio She worked on w t a M. Like
the trim Asano Show, and it was it was the
(39:16):
drivetime show in Cleveland for a lot of years.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
And she was like.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
The the host, it's everything. It's like talk political sports.
It was this big old Italian guy that yeah. But
she would be in the car and she would like
text me like slow down, you're talking too fast.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
She's like, you didn't do it.
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Don't stutterr on the read or quit saying so don't
say And I'm like, just drive. I didn't go to
broadcasting school, Like I'm just kind of winging at this.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
What does she think? She is a bench coach.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
So I'll give your number, you call it, all right.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
And then she was in like fifteen minutes. We'll do
a little bit more with Sheldy after this. This is

It's cool, right, Honestly, it's the best tournament a young
hockey player can play in. You it's it's a it's
a bit of a status symbol, but honestly, you get
to play against as a player. When you get there,
you're playing against the next generation of NHL ers, and
not just the next generation. You're playing against the Sergey Samson,
the Joe Thornton's, the best players, the superstars of the
(03:16):
next generation. And you can go up and you show
yourself there. You can make a name of yourself in
that tournament. You've got a good chance of making it
to the NHL. And it is that. It's just that passionate.
It's international hockey. We sought the form nations.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Thank you, I appreciate it. On traffic camera so.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I gotta go home early this time. This is just once.
Speaker 2 (03:36):

Speaker 4 (03:37):
About that journey forever.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I know.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
It's awesome to buy some tickets. It's incredible. I love
that's here in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Please please please support it absolutely.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Okay, you can go on, thank you, you can do it.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I just got to get the news. I got one minute.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I got so much to talked about. Like this traffic
cameras they're bringing speeding down. That's working Corey right by
in Minneapolis. Data so the five locations are a little
safer after new cameras were installed. The data also showed
that the amount of drivers caught going twenty miles per
hour over the speed limit has decreased by seventy six percent.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Have you seen these yet, anybody? I have not known.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
When we were downtown the other day for the Prince thing,
as you were leaving the parking rides, there were signs
everywhere saying you are in a monitored speeding area row.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, right, checking the mail, and.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
There's no doubt when I saw that sign. You better
believe I was watching myself. There's no doubt about it. Yeah, absolutely,
so they're out there.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Those I don't remember what town I was driving through
to go lose money at a poker tournament in Iowa,
a handful of or orth but I got I got
one of those things in the mail, and I'm like,
what the hell. I wish I would remember, because I
should remember in the future to not drive fast through
that town. But it's a pain in the ass because
you know they got you dead to rights, right, they
(04:55):
know they know it wasn't like some guy on the
side of the road.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
The cameras caught you. Yeah, there's no disputing that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm sure you could try, but I guess, as you
lose every time in court.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, I wasn't going that fast. Yeah you're on camera.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah me, look at you, and you're flipping the bird, right.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
That's why we sent you the ticket cocaine.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
After giving out warnings for the first month of the
new cameras, the city will begin giving out tickets at
the locations starting on Monday.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So you were given a warning so far.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
It's all warnings, all right, So tickets start Monday.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Your warnings and warning.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah, Minneapolis could add additional forty to its network by
twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Well, remind me to never go to Minneapolis again.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, right, like they have to remind you. Nothing is the.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Closest you get. I know it's outside.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, I don't even walking through the parking ramps too
much outside air yick.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, where do you leave to go to Florida?
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I leave Sunday night. I hope your flight goes brother,
and I'm back Thursday.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
The FAA is cutting flights from Minneapolis St. Paul and
International Airport due to the government shut down. MSP is
expected to have forty one flights cut by today.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I still have the same question that we had a
couple of days ago, is are these major routes or
who decides which flights are getting cut? The airlines themselves,
The airports. I don't understand how that part works.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
I gotta believe it's it is contingent upon where they're
going to, because I I can't even imagine how they
do that job. If you decide if your flight's going
somewhere where flights are getting cut, and that flight you're
going to is get I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I don't know, man, Yeah, I don't know. Greasy, it
is getting greasy.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
A lot of good cues, not a lot of it's a.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Lot of good, a lot of good. But we have them.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
They're fine.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
We got them your cues.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Let's see that story doesn't matter. That's kind of silly.
That one's silly too. I got nothing but silly news
left to be honest.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
That's fine with that what we do? Okay?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Starbucks dropped a thirty dollars Barista gold cup yesterday and
if you didn't get one.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Then you might be out of luck.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
What does that mean?
Speaker 6 (06:59):
The glass cup shaped like a bear sold out within
minutes of becoming available in nationwide. Some have already made
their way to the secondary market with listings and hundreds
of dollars. I have no idea why people wanted the
barrista bear rista, so it's spelled b e a R
Barista gold Cup.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I don't know a bear, Huh, I get my honey
out of a bear? Yep, yeah, I don't know if
I need my Starbucks since.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Zach gets his honey out of a bear. Well, yeah
you yep? Are you sure? Yeah? No, I get it?
Grand Grand Theft Auto six right now?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Again, I was hoping we weren't going to talk about
what happened.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Get ready, he goes and look at watch watch Corey's face.
Grand Theft Auto six is being delayed yet again. Take
two announced the highly anticipated open World game would now
release next year on November.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Nineteenth, another full year I was supposed to be May
twenty sixth.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
The company's CEO did not give a reason for the delay,
but said, we're all too high to get any work done.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Man, No you didn't, so did I just have a guess?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Were we supposed to get it? Was this this?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I think originally it was supposed to be this fall,
maybe even earlier originally, but.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The originally heard by Christmas this year?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, and now it's a full year out.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Look as a guy that doesn't go outside a lot
doesn't really matter. But if I'm going to spend one
hundred hours plus playing a game, sure release it in November. Yeah,
you know what I mean, it's better I got nothing
to do, suns down by five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
But a year from now, I know that sucks.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
I mean, there's a real good chance one of us
isn't still going to be here.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Hi, I didn't mean employed.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Oh like Dad, that's been nice knowing you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
No, it's not you. Oh thank god.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I just you know, everybody's cracking jokes on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Like what somebody posted the poll? Was it Powdrick Bets
who posted the poll? Like what happens first? Like the
Wild win the title, the I can win the Super Bowl?
Maybe it was Zach or Grand Theft six is released,
It's like, uh yeah, this is it is.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
It's nuts.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But like games like Red Dead two that take, you know,
twelve years to make, and now now we're at Grand
Theft six is what something like fourteen years? I think,
so since Grand Theft five, it's something like that. It's
worth it because it will blow your mind. Grand Theft
five I couldn't believe, and everything we've seen from six
(09:41):
looks exponentially better and bigger. But again, are we going
to live to see it? Is it going to be
four more years?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Grant?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Theft five came out in twenty thirteen, Is that sound right? Yeah,
that sounds about right. It's twelve years ago. Yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Turner and I are looking forward to the new one.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Man, Well, Turner's gonna have yeah, well yeah, what would
you be worth to go back and play the last week?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And we've never played? Neither one of us who played five?
Five holds?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh my gosh, yeah, I mean and Trevor.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Trevor is one of the all time characters fifteen six.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
He's ready the stuff he plays on his computer?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Are you kidding me? How's he going to learn to drive?
If you don't show him Grand Theft.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Five and and how to treat to hook her without driver?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
He's gonna learn.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
You just stab them and get your money back and
then drive off.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah with anything? Man does it? Does it? Philip flat
hold matter?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, just turn up the hall touch before you broke.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Her had her own van?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Sure my god, yeah, she's I mean you you stole
a van and then picked her up and so it's
not hers?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Ye, okay, got it. Okay, cool.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Going to that game is so much.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
It's fun. Honestly, you would love it. I'm kind of
jealous you've never.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah, I'm looking forward. We're kind of looking forward to
this one. But no, no, I think we might have
to go backtrack a little.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Yeah, or just go back to Red Dead, go to
Valentine and oh yeah, you know something he's got to learn.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
You know, he still gives me crap and I don't
know how he remembers this. Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
For literally, the first thing I did on that game
was shoot my head in the horse.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Shoot your head and the horse.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
What I say is that, like, shoot my style, Mark, Mark,
do me, do me a favorite point to your horse
for a second.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
What do you think is your horse? They sing, hats
your ear? No, if it's the horse's and it's right here. Okay,
shoot my head And that's the title of the podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
We gotta go to Hype. We'll be right back. We're
gonna go shoot a head in the horse.

Thank you for having me.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
We were doing the pleasantries with Marnie and I was
wondering why I look a lot older after six years,
and she looks a lot younger.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
She signed a deal with the devil, that one over there.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's all right, do what you gotta do. The beard,
it's a little bit jarring.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
It's a little dark, little lighter. Yeah, it was softer.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Wait a minute, Marny, you've got a beard.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, he said, a lot change in six years. It
is mad, it's mad, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, thanks guys.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
So you guys know each other through what baseball? Yeah,
we share the same barber.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
When I was when I was here the first time,
Martie was doing sideline stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Yeah, Actually the first female Twins play by play if
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Correct, Yeah, just story.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Yeah, how cool is that? Well, it's an honor to
have you on the show. We appreciate it very much.
I'm Chris by the way, and get say the show.
Good to meet you over there. Thank you for coming in.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I heard you. I'm with Dan the other day.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
It was a fun interview and when I heard, you'all thought, well,
this this guy is going to be great for the
part of Morningy. Sure you're going to fit right in.
And have you had the displeasure of hearing the stupid
show before you go?
Speaker 10 (13:43):
I have heard a little bit of it, but that's
about enough to be part of it.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I am really excited about.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well, and if you heard the initials game, do you
feel like you're ready for that.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
I'm definitely not ready for that. I did hear Ryan Jeffers,
and that's a lot of pressure and do not have
the expectation of how that went.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, he was very good. Set the bar pretty high,
Yeah he did.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I don't need that.
Speaker 10 (14:02):
You guys can could just say like, okay, I mean
I don't think set the bar very high.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
That's like the third time that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Scar again, you're in the profession though, of expectations right
and trying to meet me.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I speaking of the Dan Berrera interview from a couple
of days ago.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It sounded like maybe the person that instilled high expectations
in you was your dad. That was the part that
I caught that I thought was super fascinating, that he
put the pressure on you, right, he expected the most
out of you and essentially at all times.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, right from the jump.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
My father was a high school teacher, administrator, coach high expectations.
I think it was one of those things like set
the example for everybody else, like I'm not going to
favor my kids, and he didn't. And I think one
of the things I said to Dan now, it's funny
when my friends who grew up with my dad because
they were all in school with him, they see him
in there, like he's so soft, and I don't know
if you've ever met my dad, Marty being here, he
(14:58):
is like the nicest human being.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I tell people exact of me.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I'm like, he is the nicest human being alive now
and my friends now are like, dude, where'd the hard
guy go?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, but everybody says you're super nice. You seem nice.
I mean, I've known you for two and a half minutes,
but you seem nice.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I appreciate that. I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Give me, give me a couple of months.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
You are nice, Shelty.
Speaker 11 (15:17):
You are really well liked, easy to talk to, fun
to be around, kind of guy. And when I knew
you better six seven six seven, come on, I.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Don't know gives You're not that Yu.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
That that stood out to all of us like you
were just Shelty and you were the guy and fun.
And then when you move into managerial roles, as you
did with Pittsburgh, as you now do with the Twins,
I'm wondering if you can still be that same guy,
because you have to find a different level of hard
a once in a while in order to be the
(15:57):
manager that a successful manager to imagine.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
I think you definitely have to you know, command, I
don't know command respect, but make sure there's respect there.
But I don't think you change your personality. I mean,
I've been this way my entire professional career. I presented
myself that way in Pittsburgh. May have gotten away from
it a little bit just because of the fact that
you know, the job beats you down a little bit.
But when you have four months to sit at home
and you have nothing to do, and actually I was
(16:22):
doing this, I was I was doing radio stuff for
Serious XM, you kind of find yourself again. So the
energy is back, and I think one of the things
that was really important. And everybody's asked like why back here,
and you were with me back then, like, I love
being in Minnesota. My family was really excited about the opportunity.
It just kind of feels like it's home. So I
feel like I'm kind of rejuvenated a little bit.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Derek Shelton again is our guest, and we're glad to
have you and excited to have you on back with
the Twins. My first question wife two. The first one
is what is a bench coach? Another reason I asked
that is because we had this discussion on what Monday,
Corey is a right and none of us had an
answer and we neglected to look it up on Google.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
I mean, why does a bench need to be come
that's right?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, So Saus had a really long winded answer that
we could sum up.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
He basically would like to hear it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, explained to Derek what he did while he was
a member of the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
I think a bench coach is somebody who does some
of the jobs that the manager doesn't want to do.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Like that, you did not instill a lot of confidence.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
The one thing I did learn is like if you
trailed down at the end, your bosses will be like,
you know, project yourself, so you are not very confident
in that or.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
A suit dog.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
What are some of those jobs maybe that a manager
might not want to get.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
GPT this, yes, like look over the lineup? Are you
asking her baseball? Yes?
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Yeah, Well managers.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Don't want to talk baseball, well.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
They do, but like you also can talk baseball and
sometimes I would guess bench coach also, like if the
manager has a decision, he'll ask the bench coaches like
a second opinion.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You're kind of like a doctor second opinion.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Not funny if I should.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Have trailed off on that one.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
That was one of those when you.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Got to the point you maybe should have not said
the last list correct soup until that point. Yes, you are,
you talk about the lineup with whoever the manager is.
But the biggest role of the bench coach is you
help run the culture of your clubhouse. Like people don't
want you know when you're the bench coach. And I
think Marnie kind of put it like you're out, you're relational,
(18:37):
you're talking to people Like when I was a bench
coach and like Joe was here, I would go out
and have the conversations with Joe of like how you.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Feeling, like when do you need a day off?
Speaker 10 (18:44):
Where you're at a lot of those times, the player
doesn't want to talk to the manager because he's the
one making the decision, so he's kind of the person
in between bullpen guys.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
It's huge, you know.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
You you walk around and talk to bullpen guys and
they're like, you know, the hell did he pitch me
in the seventh and not the eighth? And you're all right,
this was the reasoning this, And they don't want to
ask the manager because the one that the manager is
the one making a decision. It's a really important role
for the manager because he's the person that has the
pulse of everything that's going on. He's the guy that
walks in and is like, hey, you probably need to
go talk to Marnie because you know, he's not in
(19:18):
a good sport.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Sorry, she's not in a good spot.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
The bear Beard she's not in a good spot. Like
those are the things.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
So yeah, and then the actually, the bench coach is
the greatest job of all time because you can sit
all game long and give suggestions to the manager and
then you don't stand in front of the media and answer.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Their question at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's great, all right.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Question number two of my two partern it's nineteen eighty seven.
You're in your buddies Camaro. What's in the cassette Motley
Crueer talking heads? Because we were both born in nineteen seventy,
So what what was in the cassette player Motley Crueer
talking heads?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Oh you look a lot better than I do. Oh
stop that now, I keep going. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
It would have been a.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
Navy Blue Z twenty eighth that my buddy had. Those
were sick, Yeah, and it was.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
It would have been.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Motley crue Yeah, it would have been It would have
been Motley Cruz. So yeah, that's that's what I have been.
That's maybe some poison.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
Oh yeah, and you're a pearl Jam guy.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
I'm a huge Pearl Jam Like I am through and
through pearl Jam all day them all here. Yeah, the
greatest moment of my life was one of the greatest moment.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
God, my life's not listening.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
He probably attest to this, uh, and I want you
to come down to target Field once we once we
get my office done.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But my office in.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
Pittsburgh had four Pearl Jam posters and it had a
Pearl Jam guitar signed by the whole band that I
got for Christmas a couple of years. But one of
the greatest, I'll say one of the greatest moments of
my life was a couple of years ago at the
United Center today that they retired Cheli.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
I was there and going backstage and seeing Eddie and
my wife still to this day was like that was
an extendedly long hug, way too long hugg video.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
He hugged me just as long and then I have
a picture of me him and Kelly.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
It's cool, especially that Yeah yeah Morenoi our boy, Morenoa's
good buddies with Vettera, and yeah, getting a chance to
meet Vetter was all time, like hangout with I mean,
especially at my high point when I was so drunk.
I asked him to sign a poster and sign it
to my brother go up yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeap, he did it for and he did.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah, he tried to get me to change.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
No way I was changing that one. He said. That's
the thing.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Eddie is a huge baseball fan, like huge, Like the
first time I saw Pearl Jam it was like me,
Sean Casey, Bronson Arroyo and Mark Kayaffa, who is a
VP at the MLB Network. I mean it was like
it's always the day I was back there, there was
like an Ian happ jersey because it was in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It was great. I mean, he is the best.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
But yeah, the guitar that I have signed, and I'm
really debating this because this car car is really sick,
but it has the Pirate's logo on it. But also
it has twenty one Forever on the back because he's
a big Clemente fan. The commented Museum in Pittsburgh is
really special. My wife's actually a board member there and
he'll come in like when he's in Pittsburgh. And I
will tell you the thing I was probably I shouldn't
(22:10):
say the thing I was most mad about when I
got fired. But the last date of their tour was
a week later from when I got fired. In Pittsburgh
the tour in Pittsburgh and I did not go.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
So then do you believe in the old adage that
athletes want to be rockstars and rockstars athletes?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Amen?
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Yeah, we all do.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Do you play anything up any guitar?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
No?
Speaker 7 (22:36):
I am the most musically.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Yeah, not very articulate, but uh yeah, I can't play anything,
can't saying anything, none.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Zero.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
You just appreciate it when I.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Just appreciate it when I hear it and should not
like yeah, exactly, Yeah, you're okay, yeah right.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, yeah, like you know Pearl Jam fans giant headbangers.
Speaker 10 (23:08):
Back in the day, back in the day when he
jumped out the scaffling.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, it do a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
All right, Derek Sheldon is here. This is super cool.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
He's going to play Initials in like forty five minutes
or so.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
One of you has a shot.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Is it one hundred and three?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I gotta check the emails. One hundred and three thousand
dollars now, especially up for grabs with the Saint Paul
Federal Credit Union Initials Jack Belt. We'll we'll ask Derek
some more questions about the twins, about his life, about
his job. We'll talk vic is at some point in
the next forty five minutes percent potentially as well.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Marnie is here, Parish is here. This is the Power
to Monty Show on the Fan.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Of Morning Show.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Welcome back cast the thousands in the main studio, including
our new friends Shelley.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yes, he's Shelty. There you go. We're getting I like that.
That's a way better. I like that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, that's a that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I feel like that's kind of a pro sports thing.
It's like it's coach, coach, coach, you know, all the
way up and then you get up to the professional
sports and it's Hey, it's you know, it's Shelty, it's
Arry Steve.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
You gotta have a nickname, Sauce. Do you prefer Paul
or Sauce? I don't care what you call me. Oh
you want to be the bench coach though, I'm going
I'm going through that process right now.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I'd be great at it. Do you think what number
would you wear?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Sauce?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Seventy five? It's also my favorite number and my IQ.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
What if what if like we did breaking news and
Sauce but became the bench coach?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Sweet? I would love to see him in a baseball uniform.
What are the hours like?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Oh yeah, what do you only work certain hours?
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Because you do have to put in a lot of
time as the bench coach and you cannot.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
His wife just called and said, please hire him.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, I would be honored. Do bench coaches have to
pay attention to the game? Yes, oh you're.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Out yea.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
On my phone during the game. That is also rules
about that.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Then he just sit there and eat sunflower seeds. Intact,
we could probably create a position for them some either.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Yeah, I could do that. You would have to show
up for the games, though I can do that.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
He can, he does show up. I'll give him that.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He's not busy. Yeah, yeah, you're not busy. His schedule
is wide open.
Speaker 11 (25:43):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I mean, I'm pretty good at MLB the show man
you are.
Speaker 10 (25:47):
Oh yeah, so you can help create lips then, oh,
you know, you just can't pick from every team though,
we can't.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Like Aaron Judges on.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Our team today. That's what I do.
Speaker 10 (25:57):
Any juniors on our team of course?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:01):
Just who's on your tea? Who's your number one guy?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Your former player Paul Skeens is my starting pitcher? Really good, Scott,
you are a good Scott. That schooble guy. I don't
know how to pronounce his first school. Dark school is
my probably number two. Then, so the Trusy Young Award
winners is you've got this? That's on easy.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Didn't you say almost a year ago, didn't you say
that if Ryan Jefferson initials you were going to trade
for him?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
I actually heard that aadle Rushman. Yeah, badly Rutchman. But
now I want to have the big Dumper that's his nickname.
I just react. No, you and I could be buddy,
we can't. It is tired of do you go? I
do not golf, That's all right.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I don't. I golf, but I'm not very good.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Well, I'm terrible at it too. What do you do
while you're golfing?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
I'm on my phone, okay, thinking.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
About the MLB, the show. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
That's why when we go golfing, I'm on the motorcycle
all by myself.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, sheelty.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
If Sas was your bench coach, he would have to
wear a uniform, he would had to toe. Do you
guys ever find that strange? Because I work in the NBA.
These guys work in the NFL. None of the coaches
wear the uniforms of the players, Yet in baseball, all
of you is do Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
It bothers My father in law, he's like a football
and wrestling guy. He was a football and wrestling coach
in high school and to this day, I mean, Ali
and I have been married for almost twenty years, and
every year he's like, why do you have uniform on?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He's like, this is stupid.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
I think it goes back to when the player's manager,
like they did the dual role when they coached.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I think that's where it goes back to.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
But yeah, I've always wondered if like that's the transition
of going to you know, now the guys in the
NBA are wearing sweats. Like when I was growing up,
it was pat Riley and Slick back here and he
was looking cool in suits. And now everybody's in sweats.
So I'm curious if they would ever go there. The
other thing I don't understand why now is like why
do we have numbers?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, I mean why do we?
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Like I mean, I'm excited, like I'm wearing the number
I war was, you know, as a high school player
and college player here, But like it doesn't there's no
it's not relevant that I have a number on What
would I don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
What would happen if you just walked out in warm
up pants.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
You can't.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
That's the thing you have to be in, like you
have to be in license. Yeah, even like pregame, you're
supposed to be anything. I think it's Nike now has
the contract and they want you in anything that's by Nike,
So it's all licensed to peril because they're paying a
lot of money for that. I mean like you guys
have Vikings gear on and it's it's it's a Nike
like you're you.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
They're paying for that. They want to see you in it.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
And they have people making sure you have it on sure.
Speaker 10 (28:47):
Yeah, and now and I mean now too with the
fact that there's there's title sponsors on on jerseys too.
You gotta make sure it's really important. Walk us through
your baseball career. You said you played college baseball. Do
you get to the pros? How did that work out?
Your backstory?
Speaker 7 (29:02):
I played, I played in high school.
Speaker 10 (29:03):
I played in college at Southern Illinois in Carbondale, and
played briefly in the minor leagues for the Yankees. You
know a lot of people like, if you read my
Wikipedia page, I think it says I my career ended
because I got hurt.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Well, I did get hurt, but I was also not
very good.
Speaker 10 (29:19):
If you want to hire, like, I'll hide behind the
injury and say like, yeah, it's because I got hurt.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Like, I wasn't very good.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
And then I got into coaching at a really young age,
so I was fortunate. I played for the Yankees when
the Yankees all those young guys were good that ended
up being on those teams at one and then I
was coaching in the minor leagues when those guys got
to the big leagues.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh, WoT cool?
Speaker 10 (29:38):
And was your dad in the majors? No, he played
in the minor leagues also, he played. He actually his
career actually ended because he did get hurt.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
He got hurt. He played for the Orioles back in
the late sixties.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Very cool. Yeah, any other sports while you were in
high school?
Speaker 11 (29:52):
Anything else?
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Yeah, I mean I grew up in the Midwest, so
we played you know, it was seasonal. We played football,
we played basketball, we played baseball.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Which the way it should be.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
I know, it's still very prevalent here.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
I live in Florida now, so like my oldest played
baseball in the fall, and he played baseball in the spring.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
They don't.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
Kids just don't play multiple sports now because there's spring football,
there's there's fall football. I mean, my youngest plays volleyball
and that's year round. And if you're a club volleyball dad,
which I was for four months when I was fired,
oh that's tough. Like you don't know how you live
until your wife yells at she'd have quit yelling at
someone that's not your own kid for not moving their feet.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
So that's what I like.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
I was like, my wife grabbed me and she's like,
you need to shut up. I'm like, well, she needs
to move her feet. I'm like, she's not moving her feet.
So and now I've become the guy that likes you know.
I always used to make fun of them, and I
don't know if anybody here has kids that play club volleyball.
There's always like He's always like dads that stand off
to the side, And I was always like those guys,
(30:49):
what the I'm that guy now And I got one dad,
thank god. Who it doesn't matter which kid it is,
if it's mine, if it's his, yeah, you're getting the
full rations of what we think is going on, the.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Full play by play. Yeah, I've seen your type.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I've turned it. And then when you
go to the big tournaments, the oh my god, that's well.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
Club sports in general doesn't have to be volleyball, but
club sports in general are just wild.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Wild.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
It's a whole new level.
Speaker 10 (31:19):
Have you been to the AAU one that in Orlando
where it's like one hundred and eighty courts? Oh my gosh,
Oh good god. It's like the loudest thing of all time.
There's so many kids.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Is that the Disney complex, That Giant.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Is at the convention Center, it's crazy.
Speaker 11 (31:33):
Even the Minneapolis Convention Center when they when they configure
that for a volleyball tournament, it's incredible.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
There's a big one here at Minneapolis.
Speaker 10 (31:40):
In fact, Ali actually told me last night because we
just this is where I'm going. We ended up transferring
to the Philly one, which you guys don't care about,
and out of Orlando, and so we're going to Boston,
and I was like, I really wish we were coming
to the to the one in Minnesota because it's evidently
it's a really good one, but it's it I think
it's during spring training.
Speaker 11 (31:58):
Well there are multiple I mean, the Convention Center has
multiple volleyball tournaments throughout the winter.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Welcome back to volleyball talk.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
So hopefully i'll see you around.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Oh yeah, well, and and your daughter better be moving
her feet so you see her, you tell her move
your feet.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
So what else we know you like Pearl gim We
know you like baseball.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
What else do you do when you are not doing
uh kids' activities or trying to manage a major league
baseball team?
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Really not much. I don't have a lot of hobbies
like we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I don't golf.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
I you know, I went out after I got let
go by the Pirates one day. I dropped John off
at volleyball practice and went and hit balls, and I
was like, I suck at this and I got frustrated
and put my clubs away and didn't play the rest
of the time. I really don't do anything, you know
what I mean. I don't fish. I like to go
out in the boat, but I don't fish them out there.
Last time I was here, I don't know if you
guys heard this story. I fell in the water. This
(32:54):
is really I purified myself right, Yeah, purified myself.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
The greatest thing that happened here.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
And I want to say this, I was not I
was sober okay when it happened. So reached over to
pick up something that fell in the water, and hot
Rod was driving the boat, Rodney McCormick, the clubhouse guy
for the Twins, and he was like, I'll get it,
I'll get it, and just I didn't listen and it
reached over and we hit a wave and I fell
in fully closed.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
It was awesome.
Speaker 10 (33:22):
The people that were with me, though, thank god, they
picked up my phone and video instead of their own phone.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
So the only place that video is at is on
my phone.
Speaker 10 (33:31):
But really, you know, I feel it's kind of like
it transformed me into purifying myself to come back.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's there, you go.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
That's it going to take for you to post that video?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Nothing?
Speaker 7 (33:40):
What'd you say the jack?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
That's not enough.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
If you're just tuning in. That's Derek Shelton Shelty, our friend,
the knew manager of your Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
We don't do this very often, but.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
I'm actually going to ask you real sports questions because
I heard you on with Brera and I thought it
was great by the way, and when he was talking
to you, asking you the real question because he's a
real reporter about you know, losing the job in Pittsburgh
and then coming back to coach the Twins. He asked
all the right questions. But something you pointed out that
I thought was really fascinating. You said, you made a
list of the things you did wrong. Can you give
us a little I mean, what do you think you'd
(34:12):
quote unquote did wrong the first time around that you
want to do better this time?
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Well, there's a whole page in my notes of that.
Speaker 10 (34:17):
So I mean, I think the two biggest things so honestly,
is I think at the end, I got really impatient.
You know, we weren't playing well, and I think I
got impatient. I got frustrated, probably easier lost a little
bit of the personality that you were talking about earlier, Marnie,
So like I kind of had to check myself there.
And then I think the second thing was and this
was something that in terms of like reflection not only
(34:38):
on myself in relationships but other people that I observed
is in today's game, and it's a little different Perry
than from probably when you played. Is like you have
a conversation with the player in what they hear and
what you say sometimes does it translate, So you have
to go back and follow up and be like this
is exactly what you meant. And I think I didn't
do a very good job of that. I just kind
(34:59):
of made the assumption like, Okay, they understand what I'm
talking about, are what my point was, And then it
would either come back in a conversation with somebody else
of like, hey, this is what was said and I'm like, wait,
that's not what I meant. And then I also realized
in the people I was dealing with, sometimes they would
say things to me and I would interpret it in
a different way. So that was a really big self reflection.
(35:19):
But I'm going to tell you, like that didn't happen
right away because you know, I don't know if any
of you guys have ever been let go, but in.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
This business, yeah yeah, oh I have.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
So in this business, like it happens in sports, it happens,
you get released, you get fired. And this time, like
having four months to go home, I went home. I
went through like the whole grieving period, the I'm mad,
I'm you know, I'm bit or whatever, and then once
I got to the reflective period, it was like, all right,
I need to do things better, to do this again.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
You think you'd get another chance?
Speaker 10 (35:47):
Yeah, I did. I mean I didn't know. I honestly,
I didn't know if it was going to be this year.
You just never know in hiring cycles what's going to happen.
This year there happened to be eight jobs that were open.
I think people thought there were going to be four
jobs that were open, ended up being eight. I mean,
the last time I got hired in Pittsburgh, they it
was the last job for a while because then COVID
happened and then there was a lockout, so things happened.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (36:10):
I mean, just quite honestly, this is the job I
wanted from the jump. And that's a little that's a
little sad to say because Rocko is a very close
friend of mine, So like when I didn't want it
when he had it, but then when it opened up,
it was like, you know, Okay, that's that's the place
I want to be interesting. That's fantas. I want to
talk more about that, but we have a very special
guest on the hotline. Could you punch up line ten
(36:32):
for me? Somebody called in to talk trash. Hello caller,
Please go ahead.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
Shelty, It's it's Jeffers.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
I heard you doing I heard you doing the initials game.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (36:43):
I just want to let you know it takes a
special person to win on the first time. They have
put a lot of pressure on me, Jeff and I
am nervous, Like I actually listened to yours last night.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Mitch sent it to me last night.
Speaker 10 (36:55):
And I'm going to tell you when you got ear
tubes out of the jump, I am like, I am screwed.
I'm going to tell you I did get English teacher
uh before you, So I am, but I I am.
I am nervous though, because all they've done is tell
me how great you are at this. I will say
that Sauce still does not have you on his MLB
the Show team, which is making me mad. He still
(37:16):
has Rushman and he promised you one.
Speaker 7 (37:19):
Bit, probably one bit.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I also don't let his Marnie in there.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah she is, Oh yeah, don't let her.
Speaker 10 (37:25):
Don't let her scari You'll talk a big game, pray
big clause, but she's just a little kitty at heart.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Ryan, Why are you coming back and getting in the
ring again. We want you back at some point to
play again.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out, workout.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
So I got a roll, but good luck. You put
more pressure on me.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
You have one of my own players.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Go ahead, do it, Mitch, you to get on the show.
Speaker 10 (37:57):
He's listening in Wilmington, North Carolina. That see you got
dedication worlds the best worldwide.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Hey, real quick, this is a ten second answer. Who'd
you work with?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
It's serious when it came to like baseball radio, who
are you working with?
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I worked with a full group.
Speaker 10 (38:10):
I did the morning show with Steve Phillips, so the
leadoff spot, which is on half it's half radio half
TV and then loud Outs in the afternoon. So that's
always that's hosted by a bunch of players.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
So C. J.
Speaker 10 (38:22):
Dikowski and Ryan Spoelberg's are the two main hosts. And
then I just kind of flipped in and then I
actually covered the Alcs like on site in.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Toronto, so that was fun.
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Dandy Wexslman Dady Wetsman has a show on Sundays called
Sunday Sliders that I did with her. And then I
will tell you the most nervous I've been in the
last probably ten to fifteen years. Is when you're doing
when you're the second person, it's easy because like you're
going off the host and you talk. But they called
me in there like do you want to host? And
I was like what. My exact response was like do
you think I'm ready for that?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
And the producer was like, we'll find out.
Speaker 10 (38:56):
You got to do the reads, you got to go
in and out, you got to have the transitions, you
got to be on time because of the sponsors. So
like that's and then the worst part about it is
my wife worked in radio. She she's from Cleveland. That's
how we met. She was on the radio. What kind
of radio She worked on w t a M. Like
the trim Asano Show, and it was it was the
(39:16):
drivetime show in Cleveland for a lot of years.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
And she was like.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
The the host, it's everything. It's like talk political sports.
It was this big old Italian guy that yeah. But
she would be in the car and she would like
text me like slow down, you're talking too fast.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
She's like, you didn't do it.
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Don't stutterr on the read or quit saying so don't
say And I'm like, just drive. I didn't go to
broadcasting school, Like I'm just kind of winging at this.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
What does she think? She is a bench coach.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
So I'll give your number, you call it, all right.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
And then she was in like fifteen minutes. We'll do
a little bit more with Sheldy after this. This is
the power Trip Morning Show on the Fan
