Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's a podcast, came twenty five wist Sports and they
go wearing a whist So, yeah, it's too bad, But
what did you expect it's a podcast, came twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Whistles Wine, Hello, welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
So I have no whistle of it.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I just got announced it's one of the players in
the Major League Baseball Celebrity Softball game. Yes, it's All
Star a weekend. You know, I always forget how tragic
this feels when it happens.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Because they use the word celebrity and they say that
I'm playing or any of these other people, it's just
the internet going, these aren't celebrities. I don't know who
they are. Oh no, and it's mass It was like
when I went on Dancing with the Stars, like where
are the stars? No? And generally haters behaters. But also
we're in a very fractured fame world, correct, where I
(00:58):
don't know who some of the people are.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Okay, so that worked?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah no, no, but they don't know who I am either,
right right? But I always forget whenever this happens. Is
because I was getting a lot of at replies on
Twitter and someone replied, you know this person ain't famous whatever,
And someone replied like, I'm more famous than they are,
like three thousand followers. I shouldn't have replied that's replied no, no.

good cool. It's like they're like Hispanics and Hillbillies.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah. Well, you know what I think it is is
that a lot of the Major League now is is Latin,
and so they're bringing in kind of just a mix
of Hispanic, so maybe the Latin players will also like
maybe they suggested that celebrity or something.
Speaker 2 (05:30):

single player abouch for me. Julian Paana Junior part of
group of.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Almost done here, so hold on, hold on, hold on.
Uh Kiri and Pollard, who's a cricket player for Trinidad,
Like they're going international, like a lot of international people. Uh,
here's a called one Pedro Martinez.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Ye can he? I mean, why why would they let
him play?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Its slow picks offtball bro Jenny Finch, Nice Jenny Finch
and then a couple of softball players. Natasha Wattlee. H'm
not sure where she played, but Natasha, my point is
famous fractured, and people are giving me the business because
I don't know who I am, and you know what
I felt that.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
So who are the biggest names?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Natasha Wattley, she played, Oh she's like our age.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
She played at u c l A's.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
The twenty championship. No no, no, no, no twice something
of the other one. Lauren Gibson gip with a peek.
Lauren Gibson, Kevin, you know her, and I'll rate what.
We'll go through and figure out who the biggest libs are.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Lauren Gibson mm hmm, shame good thing you're doing this
here and not there. Dude, dude, I was, I was
doing some like I don't know, I'm seeing some like
singer songwriter.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
She went to Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I called Patty and be like, hey, oh yeah, go ahead, now,
I was I'm seeing some like singer songwrit thing a
long time ago and one of the artists I didn't know,
so I started googling him and I was at the
bar and he came up to say hi, right behind me,
and I didn't eve see him, and he saw me
googling him. Really so embarrassing. He did see the phone
was right there and it was like Google his name.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Did he say something?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
No, he didn't. Thank thankful lads man.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's tough, okay for if we're picking the top tier
of fame.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go Caine.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
This is just my version though, right because someone did
you name everyone? This is who I who? I copied
and pasting center to Kevin. There's like twenty people. But
where's like Tom Cruise, people like that don't play in this?
Why would they go play this?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No way? Like I watched one year and I think
Kevin Hart played.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And but again, I think they target different people for
different reasons. I think they went heavy massively famous Latino.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, yeah, because those guys are probably really big in
Latin America, and for that reason, I think baseball, dude,
then you need to go in there and start speaking Spanish,
all your interviews in Spanish.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Everything in the top tier, I would put Caine Tyrese MAXI, yeah,
Terrell Owens, Pedro, Pedro Martinez. I mean, Jenny Finch is
really well known.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I've seen her before in that game she played.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Like twenty years Yeah, Gina rod Is because Eddy knew
who she was. You guys are so surprised by that
in my tier, and they say other people. I'm sure
there'll all be other celebrities there. They just let play
the game. They asked me a position I wanted to play?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You said first.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I said first, and they said what's your second position?
I said pitcher, and they said what's your third position.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I'm like, just just don't put me in.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
My elbow hurts so bad from the last softball game
I played, So you can't be outfield. And the reason
because my shoulder was hurt and I was afraid to
really give it a rip and so I was throwing
kind of different than I'm used to and it hurt
my elbow really bad this last Rex softball game.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, it's like when you yeah, when you have an injury,
you mess something else up because you're over compensating. That sucks.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Get no, old dude, that's a deal. I'm gonna play
in that game. And it will be a lot of
fun and we're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And that's the first time you've mentioned that. Do you
guys know that? Oh, you guys knew that. I think
I told everybody, okay, because everybody's going, oh really, everyone's
gonna go. We're going to Arizona to do too much
access and flying to Dallas right after that. Oh so
we're doing too much access first and then going to
the game. Are we staying for the All Star Game? No?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Okay, Sunday, we gotta be back.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What the all the way to the All Star Game
and watch you play Tuesday. We're gonna watch you play
a celebrity softball game.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
The game's Tuesday. Homan Derby is Monday.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, there you go. So it's not even Sunday. No, oh,
we can't do that.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We can definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I just wasn't an option. I just figured it was Sunday.
I'm still gonna tell people on going to the All
Star Game. It still counts, right, All start weekend, bro,
I'm gonna all start Man weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
We're going to All Star Weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But hopefully we're gonna get some of that, like baseball
players to sit down with awesome, meaning not even the
ones that are playing the game because they don't come
in the current ones, but like the I'm just gonna
guess people like the John Smoltzs of the world. Ye,
people that are like working for MLB, that kind of stuff.
So hopefully that'd be cool we could do this. So
that's the intro to this show. Now, let's go over
and do the tittle tattle time name the tittle tattle.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Let's get.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, go ahead, Kevin, all right, speaking of celebrity softball games,
if you could play one game with any celebrity, who
would it be?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It would be the one person I've been trying to
get to meet to do too much access to dowenty
five whistles. It would be Mark Grace. Here's a ball player?
Does that count?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Like the two that I can't get on my mini
rushmore now is Mark Grayson Sting?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Okay? Like you guys would play on the same team.
You and Mark who cares? You're both first baseman.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Thus, yeah, but I'm pretty versatile, you can change. I
played left field in the Rector League last week.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Would you rather play with him or pitch to him?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I think I'd rather play with him because you have
a lot of dugout time to talk.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And if you pitch to him where you're trying to
just let him hit a nice swimmer or trying to
strike him out.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Slow pitch, you don't try to strike anybody out. You
just try to put a ball in the least great
spot possible.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Bro, I've seen your curve.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
There is no curve and slow pitch. I think same
team because there'd be a lot of dugout time and
I would like just wander around and be next to
hey man, how about that, huh and then try to
you know, a budding friendship. And same with st me
Mark Grayson Sting if that's a wiffleball team.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Not the singer.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
No, I'm talking to myself. Once I ordered a Sting
autograph and it was the singer. You think Michael Jordan
can still dunk? Yes, Okay, I play with him? Great question, though,
because he's what fifty something? I would say yes. I'd
say yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And you see him move, you know, like he goes
to a bunch of like NASCAR races, and you see
him move move very he could.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
He's sixty one, but he's also six six right, So
don't let age be the only factor. He's sixty six,
and let's say he has what a how long are arms?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The wingspan? I just remember the post seventy two.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Inches like wingspan? Okay, so long?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I think that's probably right. Seventy two inches, yeah, twelve
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
On p five ft.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
So imagine then there's an absolutely Well that was not
over the head because you're looking at part of that,
part of that goes to the head.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah. Yeah, he had to get a lot of air
to dunk.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
No, he did it, he took it. He had a
lot of air because he could jump. Oh, but it
wasn't he didn't need to get a lot of air
because like Sho Webb needed a lot of Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But like Shack didn't need a lot of air. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But Michael Thoran's sixty six and let's say his let's
just say his arms are three feet from his head. Wait,
from where the where the elbow bends, it's kind of
where it meets the head. So from that bend up,
let's say.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It's three feet nine. You're nine six needs half a
foot to jump.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You tell me he can't jump six inches.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But that's just to touch the rim, dude, he's gotta get.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
That's the hardest part is getting the what do you say?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I saw a video the other day and it tried
here and it's him dunking at fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And how easy was he dunking it fifty.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Let's watch it?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I forgot, let's watch it. Did that pop up on
you algorithm?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I did?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, Okay, he's he's he's around a bunch of kids,
like a camp, doing one on one with I guess
the other coach.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That space gym.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Hold on, he's that's space. Make it take it, all right,
make it take it?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Watch the whole game.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Oh, that looked pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's kind of a dunk he can do.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I would think he could still dunk because again he's
a world world, world class athlete and he's super tall. Yeah,
so I would say yes, okay, And Mark Grece was
my answer and sting number.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Two good to know.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
JJ Reddick left his podcast and Days become the head
coach of the Lakers. If you were to leave your
podcast and Days, what would the job be?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
First of all, I don't want to leave podcasts, the
radio show. I love it. The only job that I
would do would be to go be the Arkansas Razor
by head football.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And surround yourself by a lot of smart assistants.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I would take all the money they were giving me
and give ninety percent of it to get the best assistance.
I'm already good and this job is awesome. I don't
want to lose it. And I'll make my money doing
endorsements and stuff. So whatever you're going to give me,
I'll say it's five million bucks, I'm going to make
about one hundred thousand dollars and I'm going to pass
the four to nine out with the money you're already
giving me for assistance. And I'm keeping that job forever,
(14:44):
and I'm hiring the best assistance and I'm doing nothing
walking around being like, looks good boys, I'm getting all
the free cloth, yeahsages, and I'm learning as I go.
So that would be the job. And I hope JJ
Reddick does really well. You think you will, Yes, a
little bit. I think it's a break out position. I
think the NBA head coach that position is not as
(15:04):
important as other head coach positions because it's such a
player dominated league. So yeah, I think he will do one.
He's obviously brilliant as far as basketball mind, he doesn't
have the coaching experience meeting. He hasn't been on He's
played both levels, right m h. He's been on television
and talked about us, so he understands it well. He
has great relationships with people that are coaches, etcetera, so
(15:25):
we can also use them for advice. The only thing
he hasn't done is coach. However, he's done everything at
the closest level to that you could possibly do. And
I think he's a special type of mind. And I
think he has a great relationship with Lebron. That's all
that matters in that position because it is such a
player league. Couldn't do it in the NFL. No, I
think anybody can manage in baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh yeah, I could do that, be the skipper of
a team.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah yeah, I think basketball is perfect and with Lebron
for that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
He needs he needs a good assistant coaches.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And they got Dalton Connect in the draft last night.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Yeah, I saw that. That's kind of upset about that.
I think it's great because I like Connect and I
hate the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh I forgot he's a balls fan.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah, big falls fan. That's two championships in a row
the last two weeks. By the way baseball and basketball.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You're not a I'm just saying you're not. I'm just
saying you're not. Two weeks it doesn't count, all right, right,
Next one, speaking of the.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Lakers, where do you rank their job in terms of
toughest and pro sports?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And when you mean toughest, are you talking about how
they they are? They don't have a roster. I mean
they have two players, you.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Know, like the brand itself.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh, pressure, pressure, lots of eyeballs. Great. So I would say,
if i'm the Yankees, is up there one of the
hardest and worst, I would say the Cowboys. It's either
the hardest or the greatest, depending on how you're doing.
But but yes, the most pressure Yankees. I'm gonna you
know what, I'm gonna go Cowboys first, because the NFL
(16:53):
biggest sport in America and America.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Y.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Cowboys. Any other NFL teams that I would put in
that mix over the Major League Baseball Yankees.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I was gonna say, like Steelers coming to mind, But
they've also had only three coaches forever.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, I don't think the Steelers because they haven't only
had three coaches. I think you're there.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
And Jets and Giants just because New York.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
But they're New York, and I think they're screwtiny. But
the Jets always suck, so at least they have. There's
been a couple instances of me and good in our life,
but mostly the expectation is that. So I don't know
that people expect someone to go in and win right
away with the Jets, because they usually don't. But I
think if you go to the Cowboys expect you to
win right away, boom. If you go to the Yankees,
they expect you went right away. If you go to
(17:37):
the Lakers, they expect you to win. I think those
are the three toughest jobs. And you got to two
of the you got the two major markets law New
York one, LA two. Three would be Chicago if we're
looking at market size, and I don't think there's really
a Chicago team that demands that. The Bears don't obviously,
the Bulls don't. Yeah, and don't white Socks, don't White Sox.
(18:01):
Who knows they may move to Nashville, I forgot that, Houston,
San Francisco. Those are top ten. I feel pretty good
about that. So I'm gonna go Dallas.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Those is three good.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
If you go to the Cowboys, you're just expected to
win right away. Yep, yeah, no matter what, and not
even regular season anymore. They have to win. I think
he gets fired if they don't win two playoff games.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, because we're guaranteed to go to the first game.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
He's lame duck in everyone's mind, McCarthy. If they don't
win two playoffs, if they don't make it to the
NFC Championship, I think he's fired. If they make it
to the NFC Championship, I think he gets a two
year extension something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And that is pressure.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's always pressure. I love Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Did you you get hired by the Browns?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
There's no pressure, but there is to turn it around
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
But there's not would say the immediate pressure is there.
I would say the pressure is like year three, okay, well,
regardless of how toxic the owner is. And we only
hear stories, not like we know the Haslums or the
Hunts or just the random family like can think of
their own teams.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Nice that the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, So I'm gonna say those three, That's what I say.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Last one here the NBA season officially over.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
July is here?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Is July the worst month of the year.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
July blows.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
It's bad, dude, I'm watching soccer blows Copa America? What
is this?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Also, like, the draft last night was terrible. It was terrible,
meaning that's appointment watching for me. You need to I
like to watch it live. I gave no I was
available and I still didn't watch it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
When your first two picks are from France, I'm like,
what's happening here? Who are these dudes?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
That's the NBA now though they're from.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Another country, they didn't play in marsh madness, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Definitely, extremely more European. It's can to be difficult for
us in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
That being said, it wasn't just there were European it
was that even the experts that know European players were like,
the number one pick, it's probably like the six or
seventh pick any other year. Like that's the talent level
of this draft. I did see Zachi. You went to Memphis.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, right down the road at nine, I.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Think, don't connect. Finally, off the board went to the Lakers,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I thought they'd take brown Brownie.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
They may take him around to I would assume he
went unpicked.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
And then another notable just from my mind because I
was looking for, oh, Houston, Houston got uh reed Shepherd
from Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, then you go to Houston.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's fine. I saw two that we just picked the
three white guys because they're because we're like, well, we
don't expect much from them.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
They're white, true, true, and they're big. They're big though.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
But Seldon's got a white guy too from Crazy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Like those three guys. I it's crazy because I like,
they're white guys and they look slow to me, and
I'm like, let's see what happens.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
There was a kid they got from, uh where is
Jokic from Serbia? They got a Serbian kid who looks
just like Jokic. His name is Nico La. He's coming.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Boys. I don't expect any white guys to make it.
I am like, that's weird because I'm like really rooting
for Dolt. I just have no expectation that white guys
make it. Yeah, that's bad to me. I shouldn't be
so hateful toward white guys playing basketball.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Cali Perry was there just kind of seeing all his
guys get picked. I just think you you guys are
should be so excited at Arkansas. Oh yeah, I mean
they did a stat where like the last five guards
that got drafted from Kentucky were like amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
They had a Because Kentucky fans come after me all
the time on Twitter now they're like, yeah, good luck
with Calipari. And so they were like he had two
guards drafted in the first whatever and one was Reed
Shepherd and one was.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
One of the Spurs and got traded to the timber Boves.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, like the eighth pick. Yeah, and so but I
went and looked, they're like, look at just debut they
played Oakland when they lost, those two guys were on
the bench.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah, they were on the Yeah, Read Shepherd didn't really play.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, he did some.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But I think what how with Calipari was he learned,
especially now with transfer rules, it's not we can't do
one and dunes all the time. And I think that
is very much affecting how he is bringing in this
next portal class. It's some of his guys from Kentucky
and it's sophomore juniors from other places. It's not just
(22:19):
all the five star freshmen and then the next prints
repeat with five star freshman because they got him in
trouble the last few years. Yeah, so I think we
also have a calib party that wants to prove himself.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Again, which is great exciting.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I never met him. I'm not wanting to meet him.
You will will I don't want to. I'm good not
meeting him.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
What if he says I want to meet Bobby, I
would be like, that's weird, who's messing with me? Yeah? Well,
I just feel.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Like like I'll be around he Why are you calling
out to me? I don't want to not like him,
and I don't know if I don't. I think he
would probably be cool, but I worry for two things.
What if he's not cool? Right? But I think he is.
Players love him, so I think he's probably cool. But
also it's like he doesn't like me, and then I
can't like him back, or he's like not he's like short,
(23:03):
and I'm like, well that's disrespectful, sure short with me
at all or awesome, But you didn't feel that at
all going in. No Muss was warm, and yeah, I know,
Muss was like my favorite coach.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
But don't you feel like once he's one of yours,
one of yours? Like maybe it's no.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
This is all like insecurity, controlling and also like I
don't want to not like the thing I love the most,
which is the Arkansas sports, So I don't want to disk.
It's not important to me. I don't need to be
the person that's connected if it's going to affect if
I like the team or not. Because I love the team,
don't want to meet him. But yeah, no, Musk was
freaking awesome. I think must is my favorite coach that
I ever knew at Arkansas, thinking back that I ever
(23:47):
like spent any time with, I think it's probably muss
And I didn't even have a sour feeling about him
leaving because he went to USC. That's home. Cally, can't
hate anybody for going home. And when I go back
to coach in the mounta Pine red Devils always gonna
be upset.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
About it because you went home.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I went home and home, all right, that's the tittle
tattle stupid his name the tittle townle Now are sit
down with Matt Holliday. He's a Cardinals Hall of Famer,
He's a world Series champion. He's still jacked, He's got
(24:24):
big biceps, he's jacked Calves.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Who had bigger ones him or Paul similar body stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I would say Paul's a little younger.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'd say Matt was big.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I would say Paul was thicker, Paul was. I would
say Matt was thicker, Paul was a little taller. Yes,
but both both are beast Paul gold Schmidt.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeh.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
So I've known Matt for like fifteen years, and there
were year spans two or three years at a time
we didn't like talk or anything. But then there were
times we talk a lot, but we knew each other
and we're back in Texas and so it was super cool.
And like when he was assistant coaching for his brother
volunteer coach at Oklahoma State. We I'd text him and
stuff and be like, what a by still on TV?
So it was super cool to go to his house.
(25:03):
You can see the Too Much Access episode we did
with him, and he's teaching us like how to hit
and stuff. Just go over to my Instagram or too
Much Access dot com. But awesome host, wonderful guy. Love
the dude here is Matt Holliday, Right, So what exactly
is this facility you have here on your property.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
So it started out when we bought this property, this
was the only thing here and then it was all
dirt roads and trees. The guy that we bought it
from was just he planned to live here, but then
he kind of changed his mind and put it up
for sale. But he had built this barn and it
was all orange like sport court like those squares, you know,
and it was a basketball court. So it has that
basketball court and then back here was like a crappy
(25:42):
batting cage, and so we tore that out and then
we put another goal down there, so we made it
full court. So I was playing a lot of basketball
then and then there's an apartment in the front, and
so that's what it started out with. And then the boys.
I got into pickleball, so eventually I put this pickleball
court in and then the boys this about six months
ago before the offseason started. Jackson Eathan when they, hey, Dad,
(26:03):
you gotta put a cage in, and I'm like, I do, Jackson,
you just I mean, you can help out a little bit.
So I put the cage in for him about six
months ago. And then we've had you know, a lot
of guys come through to hit. And you know we're
just out here playing pickleball and hitting a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
When you say a lot of guys come through to hit,
what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
So I I work. I'm a consultant for Scott Boris
Corporation who represents a lot of baseball players, and so, uh,
he sends a lot of the clients and and uh,
some young guys, some guys currently in the major leagues. Uh,
they come and they spend a couple of days and
they hit with us, and we feed them and some
of them stay with us.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
And live there here. Now they never go to play
ball again.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
They move on with that.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I think they would consider it if I would pay,
Like the No, they just come for a couple of
days and hit and and then and leave. So we've
had a lot We had a lot of guys at
the board right over there you can sit. It's an
exit V low board. And so everybody that's come through
their hardest ball. We have the rapsoda machine and so
every ball they hit at the highest what we put
it on the on the board. So, uh, we have
quite a few guys come through this offseason. And so
(27:04):
it was just like a it's like a hitting barn.
And like I said, I played a lot of pickleball
in here.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Whenever you were coming out of high school, I was.
I had no idea you were such a highly ranked
football recruit, like depending on what service you looked at.
I think it was said number three quarterback in the nation.
Does that sound accurate?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, I mean yeah, again, there's you have to be.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Humble, but yeah, yeah, say yeah, you'd be home. Yeah yeah,
that's in then, not in Oklahoma in the nation, yeah, no, yeah,
in the nation. So why baseball over football?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Well, my dad coached baseball, So I grew up around
baseball my whole life at Oklhoma State. I grew up
here in still Water. My dad coached baseball all my life.
So I grew up just at the baseball field around
guys like Peter and Compilia and Robin Winter. And I
don't know if people still know who those guys are.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There is I know, Ikey, I know, you know, one
of the best third basement ever too.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah. So I grew up around guys like that, And
so my passion and love for baseball and to practice
baseball was always much higher than football. But I kind
of got good at football later in my life, and
so when I got draft to an opportunity to go
play pro baseball, the idea of going to two days
and playing both sports in college, I was like, I
just want to go chase my dream as a baseball player.
(28:11):
That's what I love to do, It's what I love
to practice. And so I signed with the Rockies and
off I went. But there was some nights in the
minor leagues where I was OH for fifteen and had
no idea what I was doing where I thought, man,
I could be playing in front of seventy thousand fans
and on Saturdays, and so I definitely questioned my decision
at times. Baseball will do that to you. But all
(28:31):
in all, yeah, that's what that's what I loved.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Did you feel like your baseball draft when you were
drafted it was lower because some of the guys still
thought you would go play football, so they didn't want
to invest a bunch of money in you. For sure.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, that was people thought that they was going to
cost more for me to sign. That was back when
there was really no structure. Now they have kind of
slotting and they have a budget and all those things.
So it was different back then. And I had a
couple of teams that were going to draft me in
the first round. But then when I when I didn't
end up get drafting the first round, they didn't want
to waste a pick because I thought I was going
to college and my uncle was actually scout for the
(29:02):
Rockies and had relayed to their general manager that that
I did indeed want to play baseball, and so they
took a chance and was able to get to a
number that my dad was okay with, and I ended
up signing.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
How quickly did you get from? And I don't know
where you started?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It was rookie ball?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Single A double A what was that? And how quickly
before you were playing the major leagues?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It took me a while. You start out like like nowadays,
they move guys a little faster just because of it's
just kind of changed the evolution of baseball. But I
started out in roo rookie ball Tucson, Arizona. Caught a
flight basically and went to Tucson and was in a
holiday inn right next to a swap meet and just
kind of no car, just like riding the bus over
(29:40):
kind of just thrown into this culture of there was
a lot of Latin guys that didn't speak English, and
a lot of you know, just kind of like, oh, hey,
you just grow up real fast. And so I started
out in rookie ball. They used to really one level
at a time, So I went rookie ball Low A,
high A, arm surgery, Hi A Double A, and then
double A again, and then Triple A. I started out
(30:02):
and then I got called up like a week end
of the season, so I really didn't play Triple A
at all, but I put in my dues I had.
I had a couple of injuries, and uh, and it
took me a while to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Honestly, when you got called up, did you go and
stay up or did you get your cup of coffee
and head back down. No.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I was nervous. My first two games I was over
for six and I was like, oh man, I'm headed
back if I don't get a hit soon. And the
third game I got three hits and I was like, okay,
I think and Clint Hurdle was the manager of the Rockies.
Then about a week into it, I was doing maybe
ten days until it. I was doing pretty good. But
I mean, you're just waiting because I knew that there
was a couple of injuries. Preston Wilson and Larry Walker
(30:38):
were both hurt, and they were they were on the
coming back eventually. So I was like, man, I'm gonna
be going back as soon as they're healthy. And Clint
pulled me aside and he's like, hey, you can go
ahead and get an apartment here. You're gonna be here,
and so I was like, oh, that feels good, but
you know, you're just never really sure. And so we
ended up getting an apartment and I played really well,
and then when Larry Walker got healthy, they ended up
trading him to the Cardinals, and uh, and I got
(30:59):
to play the rest of the season and ended up
playing there for five years.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
When you move from Colorado Saint Louis, was there an
air difference? Was it? I mean, could you because you
know Colorado all the home runs? Yeah, did you feel
that at all?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
You know? I think the thing that you feel as
a player most is recovery. Like when you come back
off of a road trip to Colorado, you just feel
achy and sore. It took a while to kind of
get back acclimated after like a ten day road trip
into in the sea level where your body feels you know, moist,
like you loose, and it didn't take as long to
get loose for the game break a sweat. So you
did feel I think coming back to Colorado more than
(31:33):
like if you're on a you know, a long homestand
you kind of get used to it. But uh, the
ball definitely, you know, you can tell that it travels
a little better and the breaking balls, you know, a
lot of curve balls don't don't break as much and altitude,
so you would see the effect on curveballs, but the
other pitches, I really didn't see much difference.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Who was the first hero that you got to play
against when you were young that you were like, that's
crazy that this person is right here.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well there was that was so like at the end
of that was like at the end of of kind
of Bonds Clem I had a home run on Roderick Clemens,
which was super cool. I'm running on the basis thinking like,
oh my gosh, I just keep your head down. He's
gonna hit you next time, you know, just like so
Roger Clemens. I faced Randy Johnson a couple of times,
and Greg Maddox and Tom Glavin and so that era
(32:18):
of player like Sammy Sosa, those guys were still playing.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Could you ask for not like they're not jersey swaps
back then, but could you ask.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
For Yeah, you can send jerseys over and have them sign.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
And how would that go? You just send somebody from
the team, Hey, would they ever not sign them? Be like, no,
thank you? You don't have to say who.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
But I never had anybody say no to me. But
I have heard of guys saying no. I thought you say,
but you said no, no, But I no one ever
said no to me, but I there has. There's been
guys that have been known to be kind of jerks
about it.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Dude, how much money did you make? And you can't
if you don't want to give the real number, like.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
It's easy to find. Yeah, is it crazy?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I haven't his career career any is on like it's
on baseball?
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Is that accurate? Though?
Speaker 3 (33:03):
It's pretty close.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's the most legit yet embarrassing question that it's ever
been asked. Yeah, no, let's take a second google it.
Let's not let's not one hundred and seventy that's awesome,
hundred and seventy thousand.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
No, I'm gonna say, dude, dude, this barn cost seventy thousand.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Ye, we're being honest.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I played a long day.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It goes a long way and still water.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I guess, uh.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
When you went a World Series with the Cardinal, Saint
Louis is such a freaking baseball town. What did it
feel like? Where was it when you want? Wasn't it
Saint Louis? Okay, so that's even more special? What was
it like first of all that night after you win it?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
It's like one of those things where you're like, okay,
now what we kind of what do we do? We
are we going over to somebody's house. I think everybody
came over to our house. So we had we had
a big house in Saint Louis, and we had like
this outdoor basement. We used to have guys over all
the time. So I think we ended up so we
had a we had two chefs that worked for the team,
so they end up coming to our house, and everybody
kind of moved from the champagne all over each other
to like, okay, what's next. I'm like, Okay, everybody come
(34:04):
over to our house, and so I think we came
all over to our house and the chefs were making
food and and uh, we had a big party and
and uh, you know, guys just you know, reminisce and
talk about cool it is. And they had the parade
and and so and then you kind of Okay, now
we got to get ready for the next year. But
it's it's pretty amazing. I think that the group of
guys that I got to win the World Series with
(34:25):
was was such a special group of guys, and everybody
that wins the championships sort of has the same story,
but it is true like the guys that you end
up ultimately winning a prize like that is usually a
bunch of guys that you really like and get it
along really well, and there's a cool bond that last forever.
And so I talked to a lot of those guys
still once a week and quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
You miss it, I do, I do.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I miss it. I think it's one of those things
where you can't replace that kind of competition, Like I
can come in here and play and and you know,
I try to find competition and pick up basketball, but
competing against the best in the world and having that
responsibility to be ready to play every single day and
what it takes every day. I miss that part of it.
(35:08):
I miss the camaraderie of the guys as well. There's
relational things that you being together that much and competing
together that when you get done, it's just hard to
find that kind of bond.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Top three Nastiest Pictures, no real rules on it, but
you face, you're like.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
God damn. There's random dudes that the guys that I struggle.
There's a guy named Brian Lawrence that pitched with the
Padres and nobody else had a hard time hitting but
I did. And he's like, yeah, he was in our division.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
He's a teacher going this, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
I was like, I think one for seventeen off of him.
And Clint Hurdle was our manager, and he came up
to me and he's got this super loud, gruff voice
and he's like, am I gonna have to sit you
out against Brian Lawrence? And I'm like, I don't know,
maybe you know, and uh so he's one that I
just had a hard time figuring out. There's a guy
(36:01):
named Aaron Harang that pitched for the for the Reds
that I had a hard time picking up his slider
for some reason, and he gave me a little bit
of trouble. And you know, there was guys like Eric
Gangne the year that he set the record of saved
my rookie year, I was like, oh my gosh, he
just struck me out on three like fastball, curveball, change
up in three to like three pitches in a row.
And I walked back to the DOUG. I think, I
(36:21):
don't see how anybody ever gets a hit off this guy.
And so he was somebody that was It was incredible.
And then, like I said, those guys, those Hall of
famers I faced kind of close to the end of
their careers, so they weren't as nasty like Pedro Martinez.
I faced him too, but they were still really good.
Knew what they were doing, but their stuff wasn't what
it was in their prime. Jake Peeve gave me a
hard time. These are guys in our division that you
(36:42):
just face him so much that you know you really
like he's He was really good for for a few years.
Ten winskam one a couple of years he was on
our division. He gave me, gave me some trouble, but
it was a battle like you said, every night, if
you're not completely ready mentally, you can get embarrassed in
the major leagues, those guys. I mean it's just the
best of the best.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, embarrassed every day for something I'm you know, two
final two questions.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I was drinking beers with Wade Bogs one time. Oh wow,
and yeah, yeah, you're right, drank me. Uh And he said,
He's like, I'm going to die in a plane crash.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
It's just the numbers game.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Like I've I've flown way too many times in my
life for me not to dine in a plane crash.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I don't mean that's not a numbers game, because.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I think he means if he flies the plane, I
had so.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Many beers that I'm going to take the plane over
and crash it.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
But we said during his career, he's like, we just
flew so much that I'm like, this is just how
I want to go.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Did you ever feel that all the flight think.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
About every day how many flights they're on and commercially
how many plane crashes?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, I mean we have.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean there was rumors that he
would drink like a whole what he.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Brought, he brought cases. He brought cases due this was
a great event we were at.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
This is great. We were playing. We were playing in
a country club and he showed up. He was late,
and everyone's like, where's Wade? He was supposed to be
here by now. He showed up with two cases of
the Middle of Light to the country club, handed it
to the bartender and said, hey, right, Wade On, these
these are mine for anybody else.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
No, it was like your roommate when you writ your
name and so they don't need to Wade did that
case beer?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
The bartenders like, we do we have beers here?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Unlimited guy.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, Yeah, that was fun. It was Wade and Johnny
Damon went pretty hard.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
To He did go hard. George Brett he's there too.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Okay, they all went pretty Baseball players can go pretty hard,
I guess.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Being on the road, y'all pick some good ones. Those
are like legendary.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Not all of them are like that, you know, Okay,
well not all of them were.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
I can tell you ten don't any beer.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
But three were really hard.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Those guys are going around the league. Good job you
guys found the hardcore ones.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Thanks Matt.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Final question, what is your most memorable home run.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Probably the last one I hit in Saint Louis. Yeah,
I knew. Uh, the organization kind of told me, hey,
we're not going to pick up your your option here,
and so I would be moving on to to another
team if I was going to keep playing, which I
ended up playing with the Yankees the following year. But
I had was coming off of a broken thumb and
it was going to ultimately it's going to cost me
the rest of the season. So essentially I was about
(39:12):
four weeks out from surgery on my thumb. We were
kind of we were still in the in the postseason race.
I think we were a game or two out, so
we weren't completely out of it, and they told me, hey,
I just asked him, Actually, I was like, hey, is
this is this it for me? Because I want to
thank some people that that you don't get a chance
to say thank you to in person. If you kind
of just find out the end of the year that
you're you're not coming back, it's you know, it's just
(39:33):
kind of weird that way. So uh, they ended up
telling me, and so I told, you know, got a
chance to and then organization ended up announcing the day
we're not picking up not all of his option and
they kind of made a cool, cool tribute about it
or whatever. But Mike Matheni, who was the manager of
the Cardinals, was like, Hey, I want to get you
in at bat. I want to get you acknowledged. And
I'm like, we're still in, like we're still in the
(39:53):
playoff f like, not at the expense of anything that
could cost us. And he's like, I know, I don't know,
he said, but if there's a situation in the game,
we're going to activate you and we're gonna we're gonna
put you in the game. And I was like, all right,
Like I didn't you know. I was like, I haven't
hit really in four weeks, but I'll give it a go.
So we get like that night, like they activated me
from the from the deal and that was back when
(40:14):
you could have forty men on the roster and so
it was no big deal to have a hurt player active,
so they activated me. I'm kind of just hanging out
like thinking like this, only it's like I think it
was seven to two or seven to one and the
seventh and something on the picture's up first. I'm like,
that's probably not my bad. I'm like there's no chance.
So I'm just kind of hanging out and Mike's like, hey,
you're gonna You're gonna lead off next day. And there's
(40:35):
like two outs already in the top half, and I'm like,
oh gosh, so like run down, like put my cleats
on real fast, and like the hitting coach like tossing
me a few balls like trying to get loose. I'm like,
oh my gosh, my last that bad is gonna be
so embarrassed, Like I can't strike out, like this would
be embarrassing. So like I run out there and and
so I got come out on the half inning ends,
and so I'm out and like, you know, the crowd
(40:56):
kind of here like sees me, and like some people
start cheering because they had announced on the scoreboard that
that they were this would be my last series or
last home series whatever, And so I come out on deck.
Crowd kind of gets into it, and so they announce
it and it was really cool. The crowd obviously was
was standing ovation and the Pirates were clapping, and Clint
heard it was now the manager of the Pirates, which
(41:18):
he was my manager for five years with the Rockies,
and and so just a real cool moment, and and
so I step in the box. I'm like, okay, well
I kind of, you know, I kind of got tears
in my eyes. I'm like see, like, you know, I'm
hitting four weeks and so like first pitch strike, second pitch,
foul ball, and it's oh two already, and I'm like,
oh boy, like this will be super embarrassing. So I'm
like take a deep breath. I'm like, all right, I've
(41:39):
been here before, Like I just want to, you know,
do something positive. And he took me a break the
ball and I hit it to right center and I
was like, oh gosh, that might be a hit. I'm
like go and then it's like home run. Oh man.
So I hit a home run and you know, crowd's
going crazy and my teammates are going crazy, and it
was just a really cool moment. So that was that
would probably be it, and I thought that be my
(42:00):
last at bat, but I hit a home run. So
we're still in it the next day in a big
pitch hit situation because I hit a home run the
day before, Mike was like, hey, you're hitting again. I'm
like I am. I'm like okay. So I get up
there and I get jammed base hit and so it
wasn't really my last at that, but a lot of
people are like, hey, you're last at that as a cardinal.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Was awesome.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
I'm like, actually, I hate.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
It's about to start tying. Until he said he came
back the next day.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
I didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
I was like, I was like, I'm good, Like I
only put my fleets on. I even putting my jersey on.
Mike's like, hey, if we need you for a big
at bat, really okay.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
You think it gives a couple of hitting tips?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Came and I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
And we said give us a tip, not actually make
us good.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Yeah, ok yeah, okay, go yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
All right, thanks to Matt Holliday. That was awesome. Check
out the episode too much access dot Com. All right,
we'll take a break, we'll come back. Big episode, fun episode.
Good job, everybody, good job, everybody, Eddie. I saw Dak
Prescott's lasuit has been dismissed. The sexual assault LASU against
Dak Prescott dismissed.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Goodness, all right, let's clear his name, let's get let's
get now to what really matters football.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Do you want to pay him sixty million dollars? No?
Speaker 1 (43:09):
I don't want to pay him sixty million.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I'll pay him fifty eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
That's a lot, man, But I just can't think of
anyone else that I want in that spot that's available.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Obviously, a sexual assault lawsuit file against Dak Prescott earlier
this year has been dismissed to judge. Throughout the suit,
Thank goodness, the judge said it lack merit. TMC dot
Com has a story and that has nothing to do
with the money. He's just gonn He's coming up obviously
the last year of his deal. Yeah, he's what he
may be a sixty million dollar attempt. It's a lot
(43:39):
because the market continues to reset itself, right, Yeah, it
always does. The next massive top seven quarterback usually gets
the biggest deal.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
And so ever, I mean, when he has protection, he's really, really,
really good. It's just me we had protection.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
He's one of the best offensive lines in the in
the NFL. Now, well, you're in a row.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
There has been injuries. We've had Zach Martin out for weeks.
So it's not like it's just.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
When everybody has injuries.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
I understand, But the same thing. I think Tom Brady too.
He struggled when he was when he didn't have good protection.
He went seven Super Bowl Hey, under pressure, Tom Brady crap.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
But he end up winning eight seven seven? Why did
Belichick have eight rings?
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Then he won one of the giants back in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
That's right. I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Great point because I was like, I don't think Brady
wont eight. Then Belichick won the same one less than
Brady because Brady wan with Tampa. Yeah, Belichick must have
wanted a second. But then somewhere else because Brady was
up by one.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Yeah, who cares yours?
Speaker 2 (44:37):
If Dak didn't do it, great. That sucks that it
would be out there if he didn't do it, which
felt like he didn't do it great.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, And they did a good job at kind of
just not exposing that because it came out like what
five six months ago and then kind of went away. Yeah,
so I'm glad they kind of didn't get a lot
of attention and and kind of mess with his psyche
and all that. So I'm glad that's all over.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Okay, I think we're done.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
And Bill had two as a coordinator.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
He did cool. I was like, Kevin didn't know.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
That, but it's what rings his boat?
Speaker 2 (45:07):
His boat because it's messed up. Let's go around the
room here. What's on your mind as we wrap this up? Eddie?
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yeah, dude, I was on Instagram and we posted this
Matt Holiday, uh with too much access, and I saw
on my notifications Matt Kemp liked the video the Ballplayer.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Oh you know why because Matt Holliday collaborated and posted himself.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Okay, I didn't know that. That makes sense. So I'm thinking,
how on earth did watch this?
Speaker 2 (45:36):
That's exactly what happened. So Holiday posted it on his
we collabed on it.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
That makes sense. The journey in my mind was like, wow,
does Bobby know Matt Kemp has never told us?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Kevin, what are you struggling with? Thinking about nothing?
Speaker 3 (45:48):
Do we go ahead up?
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Matt Kemp?
Speaker 1 (45:50):
How do we do that?
Speaker 2 (45:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Just because he liked our video? Are we able to You're.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Why not? But that was really episode has done really well,
like those single person ones? Is that the first legends
we put out? Oh we have, and we've done them.
We just haven't put him out. Oh yeah, that one's
done really well.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Have we talked about what we've recorded so far?
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Well, we did Jim Edmonds. Yeah, and that'll come out
Logan Ryan super Bowl champion.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Good stuff man? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
So yeah, okay, cool read do you have anything?
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (46:20):
Okay, cool Kevin.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
I'm going to see Zach Bryan this weekend for the
first time I haven't seen I saw him actually like
three years ago, but small venue. He wasn't the same.
So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Katie going to the beach next week.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
What beach do you go to?
Speaker 4 (46:36):
We're going to Destin. But there's all those shark attacks.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
You can find them. I read an article where you
just poke them in the eye.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
They're good.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
You do the two finger, yes, yeah, or one If
you can only get one in there, that's fine. As
soon as they get poked the eye, they freak out
and let go.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
I started debating on what would be the best part
to lose, and I think foot is my go to.
That's like, if I have to get close to it,
definitely the foot overhand because Eddie is still doing pretty good. Yeah,
I can get around one foot.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
This stomach would suck, oh God, like heart and brain
would suck.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
No, crap would be the word.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
Yeah, that would pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
I'll end with this read our dear, lovely kind what
are you gonna say? Soft? At times, I would say gullible,
sensitive manchild because he's so tall and he's still like
a little kid. He communicates in a way sometimes that
(47:30):
I can giggle at. What he used to always do
is he'd be like, I was going to ask you,
and then he would ask, and I would be like, no,
you are asking. I was going to ask you if
you no, no, But but you're asking right now, even
though you're gonna ask me. Because if you say I
was going to ask you, but I didn't, and what
I would have asked you and don't even answer, you know,
(47:51):
that would be it. And today he comes in he's like, hey,
well you sign a Stanley the Dog Book. I don't
know who it's for some of your family. Uh, it's
a woman that he works with, Oh boy. And he's like,
will you sign a Stanley the Dog Book for me?
I was like sure, for it wasn't for him as
for somebody else. I was like, yeah, sure, where is
it goes? Well, I don't have one. Oh boy. He
didn't ask for the book. He just said will you
(48:12):
signed the book? And I said yeah, sure, I said
I didn't give it to whomever. And he's like, wow,
I don't have one, so what a ben? Hey, do
you have an extra Stanley the Dog Book that I
can have that you can sign for whomever. It's just
has communication.
Speaker 5 (48:24):
I try to avoid confrontation.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
It's not confrontational. The confrontation is when I go, you
communicate weird. Now we're gonna make fun of you a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Read it. How many times do you practice the before
you ask him a question?
Speaker 5 (48:38):
I say I'm going to practice, and then I don't
ever practice.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Practice what asking it?
Speaker 1 (48:42):
How to ask it? Because whenever he says like I
was gonna ask, I was going to ask you like,
it sounds like he's been rehearsing it. Wick up, wake
up in.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
The morning, Come on and I'll tell you what he
asked me recently, Hu about his bachelor party.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
Oh yeah, huh?
Speaker 2 (48:57):
Can the stripper be a man? And nobody nobody thinks
it count.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
So he comes up to me, he's like, Hey, if
I invite you to my bachelor party, would you go?
If I invite you, you go? And I'm like, is
this you inviting me? And he's like, I'm just saying, like,
if you're available, Like, would you go.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
What if I stripped from my own bachelor party?
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Be weird?
Speaker 5 (49:16):
Yes, I gotta figure it out.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
All that.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
I have no idea what I'm going to do for
bachelor trip.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
We did tell him Vegas that no, I can't do Vegas.
Speaker 5 (49:24):
An ager be real bad money wise, I probably lose
a good amount of money. But I was thinking maybe
a golf trip or something.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
All DraftKings before you go and say keep me from
all game, you know, Okay, I'll sign this book for
him that I'm giving you. You didn't ask for the book,
you just said what I signed it?
Speaker 1 (49:41):
He was thinking.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I was thinking, maybe you'd sign a book for me
if I had a book, that's all. What if we
had strippers that were men and with they were stripping
beside each other just to be equal and fair. Read
we love you, buddy, you guys. All right, that's it,
Thank you guys, and we'll see you on Monday.

the Major League Baseball Celebrity Softball game. Yes, it's All
Star a weekend. You know, I always forget how tragic
this feels when it happens.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
What do you mean.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Because they use the word celebrity and they say that
I'm playing or any of these other people, it's just
the internet going, these aren't celebrities. I don't know who
they are. Oh no, and it's mass It was like
when I went on Dancing with the Stars, like where
are the stars? No? And generally haters behaters. But also
we're in a very fractured fame world, correct, where I
(00:58):
don't know who some of the people are.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Okay, so that worked?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah no, no, but they don't know who I am either,
right right? But I always forget whenever this happens. Is
because I was getting a lot of at replies on
Twitter and someone replied, you know this person ain't famous whatever,
And someone replied like, I'm more famous than they are,
like three thousand followers. I shouldn't have replied that's replied no, no.
(01:22):
I was like, trust me, you're not right.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
That's what you told them.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. But then I go through the list.
So I'm it's All Star weekend should be a lot
of fun celebrity all Star game. I can read you
the person and you tell me if you know what
they do. To be fair, I think if you read
my name, a lot of people would not know what

stand up comedian actor wh joined the cast of seventy

I called Patty and be like, hey, oh yeah, go ahead, now,
I was I'm seeing some like singer songwrit thing a
long time ago and one of the artists I didn't know,
so I started googling him and I was at the
bar and he came up to say hi, right behind me,
and I didn't eve see him, and he saw me
googling him. Really so embarrassing. He did see the phone
was right there and it was like Google his name.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Did he say something?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
No, he didn't. Thank thankful lads man.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's tough, okay for if we're picking the top tier
of fame.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go Caine.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
This is just my version though, right because someone did
you name everyone? This is who I who? I copied
and pasting center to Kevin. There's like twenty people. But
where's like Tom Cruise, people like that don't play in this?
Why would they go play this?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No way? Like I watched one year and I think
Kevin Hart played.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And but again, I think they target different people for
different reasons. I think they went heavy massively famous Latino.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, yeah, because those guys are probably really big in
Latin America, and for that reason, I think baseball, dude,
then you need to go in there and start speaking Spanish,
all your interviews in Spanish.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Everything in the top tier, I would put Caine Tyrese MAXI, yeah,
Terrell Owens, Pedro, Pedro Martinez. I mean, Jenny Finch is
really well known.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I've seen her before in that game she played.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Like twenty years Yeah, Gina rod Is because Eddy knew
who she was. You guys are so surprised by that
in my tier, and they say other people. I'm sure
there'll all be other celebrities there. They just let play
the game. They asked me a position I wanted to play?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You said first.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I said first, and they said what's your second position?
I said pitcher, and they said what's your third position.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I'm like, just just don't put me in.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
My elbow hurts so bad from the last softball game
I played, So you can't be outfield. And the reason
because my shoulder was hurt and I was afraid to
really give it a rip and so I was throwing
kind of different than I'm used to and it hurt
my elbow really bad this last Rex softball game.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, it's like when you yeah, when you have an injury,
you mess something else up because you're over compensating. That sucks.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Get no, old dude, that's a deal. I'm gonna play
in that game. And it will be a lot of
fun and we're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And that's the first time you've mentioned that. Do you
guys know that? Oh, you guys knew that. I think
I told everybody, okay, because everybody's going, oh really, everyone's
gonna go. We're going to Arizona to do too much
access and flying to Dallas right after that. Oh so
we're doing too much access first and then going to
the game. Are we staying for the All Star Game? No?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Okay, Sunday, we gotta be back.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What the all the way to the All Star Game
and watch you play Tuesday. We're gonna watch you play
a celebrity softball game.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
The game's Tuesday. Homan Derby is Monday.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, there you go. So it's not even Sunday. No, oh,
we can't do that.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We can definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I just wasn't an option. I just figured it was Sunday.
I'm still gonna tell people on going to the All
Star Game. It still counts, right, All start weekend, bro,
I'm gonna all start Man weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
We're going to All Star Weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But hopefully we're gonna get some of that, like baseball
players to sit down with awesome, meaning not even the
ones that are playing the game because they don't come
in the current ones, but like the I'm just gonna
guess people like the John Smoltzs of the world. Ye,
people that are like working for MLB, that kind of stuff.
So hopefully that'd be cool we could do this. So
that's the intro to this show. Now, let's go over
and do the tittle tattle time name the tittle tattle.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Let's get.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, go ahead, Kevin, all right, speaking of celebrity softball games,
if you could play one game with any celebrity, who
would it be?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It would be the one person I've been trying to
get to meet to do too much access to dowenty
five whistles. It would be Mark Grace. Here's a ball player?
Does that count?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Like the two that I can't get on my mini
rushmore now is Mark Grayson Sting?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Okay? Like you guys would play on the same team.
You and Mark who cares? You're both first baseman.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Thus, yeah, but I'm pretty versatile, you can change. I
played left field in the Rector League last week.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Would you rather play with him or pitch to him?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I think I'd rather play with him because you have
a lot of dugout time to talk.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And if you pitch to him where you're trying to
just let him hit a nice swimmer or trying to
strike him out.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Slow pitch, you don't try to strike anybody out. You
just try to put a ball in the least great
spot possible.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Bro, I've seen your curve.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
There is no curve and slow pitch. I think same
team because there'd be a lot of dugout time and
I would like just wander around and be next to
hey man, how about that, huh and then try to
you know, a budding friendship. And same with st me
Mark Grayson Sting if that's a wiffleball team.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Not the singer.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
No, I'm talking to myself. Once I ordered a Sting
autograph and it was the singer. You think Michael Jordan
can still dunk? Yes, Okay, I play with him? Great question, though,
because he's what fifty something? I would say yes. I'd
say yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And you see him move, you know, like he goes
to a bunch of like NASCAR races, and you see
him move move very he could.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
He's sixty one, but he's also six six right, So
don't let age be the only factor. He's sixty six,
and let's say he has what a how long are arms?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The wingspan? I just remember the post seventy two.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Inches like wingspan? Okay, so long?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I think that's probably right. Seventy two inches, yeah, twelve
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
On p five ft.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
So imagine then there's an absolutely Well that was not
over the head because you're looking at part of that,
part of that goes to the head.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah. Yeah, he had to get a lot of air
to dunk.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
No, he did it, he took it. He had a
lot of air because he could jump. Oh, but it
wasn't he didn't need to get a lot of air
because like Sho Webb needed a lot of Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But like Shack didn't need a lot of air. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But Michael Thoran's sixty six and let's say his let's
just say his arms are three feet from his head. Wait,
from where the where the elbow bends, it's kind of
where it meets the head. So from that bend up,
let's say.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It's three feet nine. You're nine six needs half a
foot to jump.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You tell me he can't jump six inches.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But that's just to touch the rim, dude, he's gotta get.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
That's the hardest part is getting the what do you say?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I saw a video the other day and it tried
here and it's him dunking at fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And how easy was he dunking it fifty.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Let's watch it?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I forgot, let's watch it. Did that pop up on
you algorithm?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I did?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, Okay, he's he's he's around a bunch of kids,
like a camp, doing one on one with I guess
the other coach.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
That space gym.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Hold on, he's that's space. Make it take it, all right,
make it take it?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Watch the whole game.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Oh, that looked pretty good.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's kind of a dunk he can do.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I would think he could still dunk because again he's
a world world, world class athlete and he's super tall. Yeah,
so I would say yes, okay, And Mark Grece was
my answer and sting number.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Two good to know.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
JJ Reddick left his podcast and Days become the head
coach of the Lakers. If you were to leave your
podcast and Days, what would the job be?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
First of all, I don't want to leave podcasts, the
radio show. I love it. The only job that I
would do would be to go be the Arkansas Razor
by head football.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And surround yourself by a lot of smart assistants.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I would take all the money they were giving me
and give ninety percent of it to get the best assistance.
I'm already good and this job is awesome. I don't
want to lose it. And I'll make my money doing
endorsements and stuff. So whatever you're going to give me,
I'll say it's five million bucks, I'm going to make
about one hundred thousand dollars and I'm going to pass
the four to nine out with the money you're already
giving me for assistance. And I'm keeping that job forever,
(14:44):
and I'm hiring the best assistance and I'm doing nothing
walking around being like, looks good boys, I'm getting all
the free cloth, yeahsages, and I'm learning as I go.
So that would be the job. And I hope JJ
Reddick does really well. You think you will, Yes, a
little bit. I think it's a break out position. I
think the NBA head coach that position is not as
(15:04):
important as other head coach positions because it's such a
player dominated league. So yeah, I think he will do one.
He's obviously brilliant as far as basketball mind, he doesn't
have the coaching experience meeting. He hasn't been on He's
played both levels, right m h. He's been on television
and talked about us, so he understands it well. He
has great relationships with people that are coaches, etcetera, so
(15:25):
we can also use them for advice. The only thing
he hasn't done is coach. However, he's done everything at
the closest level to that you could possibly do. And
I think he's a special type of mind. And I
think he has a great relationship with Lebron. That's all
that matters in that position because it is such a
player league. Couldn't do it in the NFL. No, I
think anybody can manage in baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh yeah, I could do that, be the skipper of
a team.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah yeah, I think basketball is perfect and with Lebron
for that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
He needs he needs a good assistant coaches.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And they got Dalton Connect in the draft last night.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Yeah, I saw that. That's kind of upset about that.
I think it's great because I like Connect and I
hate the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh I forgot he's a balls fan.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah, big falls fan. That's two championships in a row
the last two weeks. By the way baseball and basketball.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You're not a I'm just saying you're not. I'm just
saying you're not. Two weeks it doesn't count, all right, right,
Next one, speaking of the.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Lakers, where do you rank their job in terms of
toughest and pro sports?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And when you mean toughest, are you talking about how
they they are? They don't have a roster. I mean
they have two players, you.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Know, like the brand itself.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh, pressure, pressure, lots of eyeballs. Great. So I would say,
if i'm the Yankees, is up there one of the
hardest and worst, I would say the Cowboys. It's either
the hardest or the greatest, depending on how you're doing.
But but yes, the most pressure Yankees. I'm gonna you
know what, I'm gonna go Cowboys first, because the NFL
(16:53):
biggest sport in America and America.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Y.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Cowboys. Any other NFL teams that I would put in
that mix over the Major League Baseball Yankees.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I was gonna say, like Steelers coming to mind, But
they've also had only three coaches forever.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, I don't think the Steelers because they haven't only
had three coaches. I think you're there.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
And Jets and Giants just because New York.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
But they're New York, and I think they're screwtiny. But
the Jets always suck, so at least they have. There's
been a couple instances of me and good in our life,
but mostly the expectation is that. So I don't know
that people expect someone to go in and win right
away with the Jets, because they usually don't. But I
think if you go to the Cowboys expect you to
win right away, boom. If you go to the Yankees,
they expect you went right away. If you go to
(17:37):
the Lakers, they expect you to win. I think those
are the three toughest jobs. And you got to two
of the you got the two major markets law New
York one, LA two. Three would be Chicago if we're
looking at market size, and I don't think there's really
a Chicago team that demands that. The Bears don't obviously,
the Bulls don't. Yeah, and don't white Socks, don't White Sox.
(18:01):
Who knows they may move to Nashville, I forgot that, Houston,
San Francisco. Those are top ten. I feel pretty good
about that. So I'm gonna go Dallas.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Those is three good.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
If you go to the Cowboys, you're just expected to
win right away. Yep, yeah, no matter what, and not
even regular season anymore. They have to win. I think
he gets fired if they don't win two playoff games.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, because we're guaranteed to go to the first game.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
He's lame duck in everyone's mind, McCarthy. If they don't
win two playoffs, if they don't make it to the
NFC Championship, I think he's fired. If they make it
to the NFC Championship, I think he gets a two
year extension something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And that is pressure.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's always pressure. I love Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Did you you get hired by the Browns?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
There's no pressure, but there is to turn it around
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
But there's not would say the immediate pressure is there.
I would say the pressure is like year three, okay, well,
regardless of how toxic the owner is. And we only
hear stories, not like we know the Haslums or the
Hunts or just the random family like can think of
their own teams.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Nice that the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, So I'm gonna say those three, That's what I say.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Last one here the NBA season officially over.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
July is here?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Is July the worst month of the year.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
July blows.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
It's bad, dude, I'm watching soccer blows Copa America? What
is this?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Also, like, the draft last night was terrible. It was terrible,
meaning that's appointment watching for me. You need to I
like to watch it live. I gave no I was
available and I still didn't watch it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
When your first two picks are from France, I'm like,
what's happening here? Who are these dudes?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
That's the NBA now though they're from.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Another country, they didn't play in marsh madness, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Definitely, extremely more European. It's can to be difficult for
us in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
That being said, it wasn't just there were European it
was that even the experts that know European players were like,
the number one pick, it's probably like the six or
seventh pick any other year. Like that's the talent level
of this draft. I did see Zachi. You went to Memphis.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, right down the road at nine, I.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Think, don't connect. Finally, off the board went to the Lakers,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I thought they'd take brown Brownie.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
They may take him around to I would assume he
went unpicked.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
And then another notable just from my mind because I
was looking for, oh, Houston, Houston got uh reed Shepherd
from Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, then you go to Houston.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That's fine. I saw two that we just picked the
three white guys because they're because we're like, well, we
don't expect much from them.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
They're white, true, true, and they're big. They're big though.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
But Seldon's got a white guy too from Crazy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Like those three guys. I it's crazy because I like,
they're white guys and they look slow to me, and
I'm like, let's see what happens.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
There was a kid they got from, uh where is
Jokic from Serbia? They got a Serbian kid who looks
just like Jokic. His name is Nico La. He's coming.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Boys. I don't expect any white guys to make it.
I am like, that's weird because I'm like really rooting
for Dolt. I just have no expectation that white guys
make it. Yeah, that's bad to me. I shouldn't be
so hateful toward white guys playing basketball.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Cali Perry was there just kind of seeing all his
guys get picked. I just think you you guys are
should be so excited at Arkansas. Oh yeah, I mean
they did a stat where like the last five guards
that got drafted from Kentucky were like amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
They had a Because Kentucky fans come after me all
the time on Twitter now they're like, yeah, good luck
with Calipari. And so they were like he had two
guards drafted in the first whatever and one was Reed
Shepherd and one was.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
One of the Spurs and got traded to the timber Boves.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, like the eighth pick. Yeah, and so but I
went and looked, they're like, look at just debut they
played Oakland when they lost, those two guys were on
the bench.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah, they were on the Yeah, Read Shepherd didn't really play.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, he did some.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But I think what how with Calipari was he learned,
especially now with transfer rules, it's not we can't do
one and dunes all the time. And I think that
is very much affecting how he is bringing in this
next portal class. It's some of his guys from Kentucky
and it's sophomore juniors from other places. It's not just
(22:19):
all the five star freshmen and then the next prints
repeat with five star freshman because they got him in
trouble the last few years. Yeah, so I think we
also have a calib party that wants to prove himself.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Again, which is great exciting.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I never met him. I'm not wanting to meet him.
You will will I don't want to. I'm good not
meeting him.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
What if he says I want to meet Bobby, I
would be like, that's weird, who's messing with me? Yeah? Well,
I just feel.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Like like I'll be around he Why are you calling
out to me? I don't want to not like him,
and I don't know if I don't. I think he
would probably be cool, but I worry for two things.
What if he's not cool? Right? But I think he is.
Players love him, so I think he's probably cool. But
also it's like he doesn't like me, and then I
can't like him back, or he's like not he's like short,
(23:03):
and I'm like, well that's disrespectful, sure short with me
at all or awesome, But you didn't feel that at
all going in. No Muss was warm, and yeah, I know,
Muss was like my favorite coach.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
But don't you feel like once he's one of yours,
one of yours? Like maybe it's no.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
This is all like insecurity, controlling and also like I
don't want to not like the thing I love the most,
which is the Arkansas sports, So I don't want to disk.
It's not important to me. I don't need to be
the person that's connected if it's going to affect if
I like the team or not. Because I love the team,
don't want to meet him. But yeah, no, Musk was
freaking awesome. I think must is my favorite coach that
I ever knew at Arkansas, thinking back that I ever
(23:47):
like spent any time with, I think it's probably muss
And I didn't even have a sour feeling about him
leaving because he went to USC. That's home. Cally, can't
hate anybody for going home. And when I go back
to coach in the mounta Pine red Devils always gonna
be upset.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
About it because you went home.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I went home and home, all right, that's the tittle
tattle stupid his name the tittle townle Now are sit
down with Matt Holliday. He's a Cardinals Hall of Famer,
He's a world Series champion. He's still jacked, He's got
(24:24):
big biceps, he's jacked Calves.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Who had bigger ones him or Paul similar body stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I would say Paul's a little younger.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'd say Matt was big.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I would say Paul was thicker, Paul was. I would
say Matt was thicker, Paul was a little taller. Yes,
but both both are beast Paul gold Schmidt.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeh.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
So I've known Matt for like fifteen years, and there
were year spans two or three years at a time
we didn't like talk or anything. But then there were
times we talk a lot, but we knew each other
and we're back in Texas and so it was super cool.
And like when he was assistant coaching for his brother
volunteer coach at Oklahoma State. We I'd text him and
stuff and be like, what a by still on TV?
So it was super cool to go to his house.
(25:03):
You can see the Too Much Access episode we did
with him, and he's teaching us like how to hit
and stuff. Just go over to my Instagram or too
Much Access dot com. But awesome host, wonderful guy. Love
the dude here is Matt Holliday, Right, So what exactly
is this facility you have here on your property.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
So it started out when we bought this property, this
was the only thing here and then it was all
dirt roads and trees. The guy that we bought it
from was just he planned to live here, but then
he kind of changed his mind and put it up
for sale. But he had built this barn and it
was all orange like sport court like those squares, you know,
and it was a basketball court. So it has that
basketball court and then back here was like a crappy
(25:42):
batting cage, and so we tore that out and then
we put another goal down there, so we made it
full court. So I was playing a lot of basketball
then and then there's an apartment in the front, and
so that's what it started out with. And then the boys.
I got into pickleball, so eventually I put this pickleball
court in and then the boys this about six months
ago before the offseason started. Jackson Eathan when they, hey, Dad,
(26:03):
you gotta put a cage in, and I'm like, I do, Jackson,
you just I mean, you can help out a little bit.
So I put the cage in for him about six
months ago. And then we've had you know, a lot
of guys come through to hit. And you know we're
just out here playing pickleball and hitting a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
When you say a lot of guys come through to hit,
what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
So I I work. I'm a consultant for Scott Boris
Corporation who represents a lot of baseball players, and so, uh,
he sends a lot of the clients and and uh,
some young guys, some guys currently in the major leagues. Uh,
they come and they spend a couple of days and
they hit with us, and we feed them and some
of them stay with us.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
And live there here. Now they never go to play
ball again.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
They move on with that.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I think they would consider it if I would pay,
Like the No, they just come for a couple of
days and hit and and then and leave. So we've
had a lot We had a lot of guys at
the board right over there you can sit. It's an
exit V low board. And so everybody that's come through
their hardest ball. We have the rapsoda machine and so
every ball they hit at the highest what we put
it on the on the board. So, uh, we have
quite a few guys come through this offseason. And so
(27:04):
it was just like a it's like a hitting barn.
And like I said, I played a lot of pickleball
in here.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Whenever you were coming out of high school, I was.
I had no idea you were such a highly ranked
football recruit, like depending on what service you looked at.
I think it was said number three quarterback in the nation.
Does that sound accurate?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, I mean yeah, again, there's you have to be.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Humble, but yeah, yeah, say yeah, you'd be home. Yeah yeah,
that's in then, not in Oklahoma in the nation, yeah, no, yeah,
in the nation. So why baseball over football?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Well, my dad coached baseball, So I grew up around
baseball my whole life at Oklhoma State. I grew up
here in still Water. My dad coached baseball all my life.
So I grew up just at the baseball field around
guys like Peter and Compilia and Robin Winter. And I
don't know if people still know who those guys are.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There is I know, Ikey, I know, you know, one
of the best third basement ever too.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah. So I grew up around guys like that, And
so my passion and love for baseball and to practice
baseball was always much higher than football. But I kind
of got good at football later in my life, and
so when I got draft to an opportunity to go
play pro baseball, the idea of going to two days
and playing both sports in college, I was like, I
just want to go chase my dream as a baseball player.
(28:11):
That's what I love to do, It's what I love
to practice. And so I signed with the Rockies and
off I went. But there was some nights in the
minor leagues where I was OH for fifteen and had
no idea what I was doing where I thought, man,
I could be playing in front of seventy thousand fans
and on Saturdays, and so I definitely questioned my decision
at times. Baseball will do that to you. But all
(28:31):
in all, yeah, that's what that's what I loved.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Did you feel like your baseball draft when you were
drafted it was lower because some of the guys still
thought you would go play football, so they didn't want
to invest a bunch of money in you. For sure.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, that was people thought that they was going to
cost more for me to sign. That was back when
there was really no structure. Now they have kind of
slotting and they have a budget and all those things.
So it was different back then. And I had a
couple of teams that were going to draft me in
the first round. But then when I when I didn't
end up get drafting the first round, they didn't want
to waste a pick because I thought I was going
to college and my uncle was actually scout for the
(29:02):
Rockies and had relayed to their general manager that that
I did indeed want to play baseball, and so they
took a chance and was able to get to a
number that my dad was okay with, and I ended
up signing.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
How quickly did you get from? And I don't know
where you started?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It was rookie ball?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Single A double A what was that? And how quickly
before you were playing the major leagues?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It took me a while. You start out like like nowadays,
they move guys a little faster just because of it's
just kind of changed the evolution of baseball. But I
started out in roo rookie ball Tucson, Arizona. Caught a
flight basically and went to Tucson and was in a
holiday inn right next to a swap meet and just
kind of no car, just like riding the bus over
(29:40):
kind of just thrown into this culture of there was
a lot of Latin guys that didn't speak English, and
a lot of you know, just kind of like, oh, hey,
you just grow up real fast. And so I started
out in rookie ball. They used to really one level
at a time, So I went rookie ball Low A,
high A, arm surgery, Hi A Double A, and then
double A again, and then Triple A. I started out
(30:02):
and then I got called up like a week end
of the season, so I really didn't play Triple A
at all, but I put in my dues I had.
I had a couple of injuries, and uh, and it
took me a while to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Honestly, when you got called up, did you go and
stay up or did you get your cup of coffee
and head back down. No.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I was nervous. My first two games I was over
for six and I was like, oh man, I'm headed
back if I don't get a hit soon. And the
third game I got three hits and I was like, okay,
I think and Clint Hurdle was the manager of the Rockies.
Then about a week into it, I was doing maybe
ten days until it. I was doing pretty good. But
I mean, you're just waiting because I knew that there
was a couple of injuries. Preston Wilson and Larry Walker
(30:38):
were both hurt, and they were they were on the
coming back eventually. So I was like, man, I'm gonna
be going back as soon as they're healthy. And Clint
pulled me aside and he's like, hey, you can go
ahead and get an apartment here. You're gonna be here,
and so I was like, oh, that feels good, but
you know, you're just never really sure. And so we
ended up getting an apartment and I played really well,
and then when Larry Walker got healthy, they ended up
trading him to the Cardinals, and uh, and I got
(30:59):
to play the rest of the season and ended up
playing there for five years.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
When you move from Colorado Saint Louis, was there an
air difference? Was it? I mean, could you because you
know Colorado all the home runs? Yeah, did you feel
that at all?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
You know? I think the thing that you feel as
a player most is recovery. Like when you come back
off of a road trip to Colorado, you just feel
achy and sore. It took a while to kind of
get back acclimated after like a ten day road trip
into in the sea level where your body feels you know, moist,
like you loose, and it didn't take as long to
get loose for the game break a sweat. So you
did feel I think coming back to Colorado more than
(31:33):
like if you're on a you know, a long homestand
you kind of get used to it. But uh, the
ball definitely, you know, you can tell that it travels
a little better and the breaking balls, you know, a
lot of curve balls don't don't break as much and altitude,
so you would see the effect on curveballs, but the
other pitches, I really didn't see much difference.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Who was the first hero that you got to play
against when you were young that you were like, that's
crazy that this person is right here.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well there was that was so like at the end
of that was like at the end of of kind
of Bonds Clem I had a home run on Roderick Clemens,
which was super cool. I'm running on the basis thinking like,
oh my gosh, I just keep your head down. He's
gonna hit you next time, you know, just like so
Roger Clemens. I faced Randy Johnson a couple of times,
and Greg Maddox and Tom Glavin and so that era
(32:18):
of player like Sammy Sosa, those guys were still playing.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Could you ask for not like they're not jersey swaps
back then, but could you ask.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
For Yeah, you can send jerseys over and have them sign.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
And how would that go? You just send somebody from
the team, Hey, would they ever not sign them? Be like, no,
thank you? You don't have to say who.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
But I never had anybody say no to me. But
I have heard of guys saying no. I thought you say,
but you said no, no, But I no one ever
said no to me, but I there has. There's been
guys that have been known to be kind of jerks
about it.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Dude, how much money did you make? And you can't
if you don't want to give the real number, like.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
It's easy to find. Yeah, is it crazy?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I haven't his career career any is on like it's
on baseball?
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Is that accurate? Though?
Speaker 3 (33:03):
It's pretty close.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's the most legit yet embarrassing question that it's ever
been asked. Yeah, no, let's take a second google it.
Let's not let's not one hundred and seventy that's awesome,
hundred and seventy thousand.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
No, I'm gonna say, dude, dude, this barn cost seventy thousand.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Ye, we're being honest.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I played a long day.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It goes a long way and still water.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I guess, uh.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
When you went a World Series with the Cardinal, Saint
Louis is such a freaking baseball town. What did it
feel like? Where was it when you want? Wasn't it
Saint Louis? Okay, so that's even more special? What was
it like first of all that night after you win it?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
It's like one of those things where you're like, okay,
now what we kind of what do we do? We
are we going over to somebody's house. I think everybody
came over to our house. So we had we had
a big house in Saint Louis, and we had like
this outdoor basement. We used to have guys over all
the time. So I think we ended up so we
had a we had two chefs that worked for the team,
so they end up coming to our house, and everybody
kind of moved from the champagne all over each other
to like, okay, what's next. I'm like, Okay, everybody come
(34:04):
over to our house, and so I think we came
all over to our house and the chefs were making
food and and uh, we had a big party and
and uh, you know, guys just you know, reminisce and
talk about cool it is. And they had the parade
and and so and then you kind of Okay, now
we got to get ready for the next year. But
it's it's pretty amazing. I think that the group of
guys that I got to win the World Series with
(34:25):
was was such a special group of guys, and everybody
that wins the championships sort of has the same story,
but it is true like the guys that you end
up ultimately winning a prize like that is usually a
bunch of guys that you really like and get it
along really well, and there's a cool bond that last forever.
And so I talked to a lot of those guys
still once a week and quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
You miss it, I do, I do.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I miss it. I think it's one of those things
where you can't replace that kind of competition, Like I
can come in here and play and and you know,
I try to find competition and pick up basketball, but
competing against the best in the world and having that
responsibility to be ready to play every single day and
what it takes every day. I miss that part of it.
(35:08):
I miss the camaraderie of the guys as well. There's
relational things that you being together that much and competing
together that when you get done, it's just hard to
find that kind of bond.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Top three Nastiest Pictures, no real rules on it, but
you face, you're like.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
God damn. There's random dudes that the guys that I struggle.
There's a guy named Brian Lawrence that pitched with the
Padres and nobody else had a hard time hitting but
I did. And he's like, yeah, he was in our division.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
He's a teacher going this, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
I was like, I think one for seventeen off of him.
And Clint Hurdle was our manager, and he came up
to me and he's got this super loud, gruff voice
and he's like, am I gonna have to sit you
out against Brian Lawrence? And I'm like, I don't know,
maybe you know, and uh so he's one that I
just had a hard time figuring out. There's a guy
(36:01):
named Aaron Harang that pitched for the for the Reds
that I had a hard time picking up his slider
for some reason, and he gave me a little bit
of trouble. And you know, there was guys like Eric
Gangne the year that he set the record of saved
my rookie year, I was like, oh my gosh, he
just struck me out on three like fastball, curveball, change
up in three to like three pitches in a row.
And I walked back to the DOUG. I think, I
(36:21):
don't see how anybody ever gets a hit off this guy.
And so he was somebody that was It was incredible.
And then, like I said, those guys, those Hall of
famers I faced kind of close to the end of
their careers, so they weren't as nasty like Pedro Martinez.
I faced him too, but they were still really good.
Knew what they were doing, but their stuff wasn't what
it was in their prime. Jake Peeve gave me a
hard time. These are guys in our division that you
(36:42):
just face him so much that you know you really
like he's He was really good for for a few years.
Ten winskam one a couple of years he was on
our division. He gave me, gave me some trouble, but
it was a battle like you said, every night, if
you're not completely ready mentally, you can get embarrassed in
the major leagues, those guys. I mean it's just the
best of the best.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, embarrassed every day for something I'm you know, two
final two questions.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I was drinking beers with Wade Bogs one time. Oh wow,
and yeah, yeah, you're right, drank me. Uh And he said,
He's like, I'm going to die in a plane crash.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
It's just the numbers game.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Like I've I've flown way too many times in my
life for me not to dine in a plane crash.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I don't mean that's not a numbers game, because.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I think he means if he flies the plane, I
had so.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Many beers that I'm going to take the plane over
and crash it.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
But we said during his career, he's like, we just
flew so much that I'm like, this is just how
I want to go.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Did you ever feel that all the flight think.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
About every day how many flights they're on and commercially
how many plane crashes?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, I mean we have.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean there was rumors that he
would drink like a whole what he.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Brought, he brought cases. He brought cases due this was
a great event we were at.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
This is great. We were playing. We were playing in
a country club and he showed up. He was late,
and everyone's like, where's Wade? He was supposed to be
here by now. He showed up with two cases of
the Middle of Light to the country club, handed it
to the bartender and said, hey, right, Wade On, these
these are mine for anybody else.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
No, it was like your roommate when you writ your
name and so they don't need to Wade did that
case beer?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
The bartenders like, we do we have beers here?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Unlimited guy.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, Yeah, that was fun. It was Wade and Johnny
Damon went pretty hard.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
To He did go hard. George Brett he's there too.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Okay, they all went pretty Baseball players can go pretty hard,
I guess.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Being on the road, y'all pick some good ones. Those
are like legendary.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Not all of them are like that, you know, Okay,
well not all of them were.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
I can tell you ten don't any beer.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
But three were really hard.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Those guys are going around the league. Good job you
guys found the hardcore ones.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Thanks Matt.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Final question, what is your most memorable home run.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Probably the last one I hit in Saint Louis. Yeah,
I knew. Uh, the organization kind of told me, hey,
we're not going to pick up your your option here,
and so I would be moving on to to another
team if I was going to keep playing, which I
ended up playing with the Yankees the following year. But
I had was coming off of a broken thumb and
it was going to ultimately it's going to cost me
the rest of the season. So essentially I was about
(39:12):
four weeks out from surgery on my thumb. We were
kind of we were still in the in the postseason race.
I think we were a game or two out, so
we weren't completely out of it, and they told me, hey,
I just asked him, Actually, I was like, hey, is
this is this it for me? Because I want to
thank some people that that you don't get a chance
to say thank you to in person. If you kind
of just find out the end of the year that
you're you're not coming back, it's you know, it's just
(39:33):
kind of weird that way. So uh, they ended up
telling me, and so I told, you know, got a
chance to and then organization ended up announcing the day
we're not picking up not all of his option and
they kind of made a cool, cool tribute about it
or whatever. But Mike Matheni, who was the manager of
the Cardinals, was like, Hey, I want to get you
in at bat. I want to get you acknowledged. And
I'm like, we're still in, like we're still in the
(39:53):
playoff f like, not at the expense of anything that
could cost us. And he's like, I know, I don't know,
he said, but if there's a situation in the game,
we're going to activate you and we're gonna we're gonna
put you in the game. And I was like, all right,
Like I didn't you know. I was like, I haven't
hit really in four weeks, but I'll give it a go.
So we get like that night, like they activated me
from the from the deal and that was back when
(40:14):
you could have forty men on the roster and so
it was no big deal to have a hurt player active,
so they activated me. I'm kind of just hanging out
like thinking like this, only it's like I think it
was seven to two or seven to one and the
seventh and something on the picture's up first. I'm like,
that's probably not my bad. I'm like there's no chance.
So I'm just kind of hanging out and Mike's like, hey,
you're gonna You're gonna lead off next day. And there's
(40:35):
like two outs already in the top half, and I'm like,
oh gosh, so like run down, like put my cleats
on real fast, and like the hitting coach like tossing
me a few balls like trying to get loose. I'm like,
oh my gosh, my last that bad is gonna be
so embarrassed, Like I can't strike out, like this would
be embarrassing. So like I run out there and and
so I got come out on the half inning ends,
and so I'm out and like, you know, the crowd
(40:56):
kind of here like sees me, and like some people
start cheering because they had announced on the scoreboard that
that they were this would be my last series or
last home series whatever, And so I come out on deck.
Crowd kind of gets into it, and so they announce
it and it was really cool. The crowd obviously was
was standing ovation and the Pirates were clapping, and Clint
heard it was now the manager of the Pirates, which
(41:18):
he was my manager for five years with the Rockies,
and and so just a real cool moment, and and
so I step in the box. I'm like, okay, well
I kind of, you know, I kind of got tears
in my eyes. I'm like see, like, you know, I'm
hitting four weeks and so like first pitch strike, second pitch,
foul ball, and it's oh two already, and I'm like,
oh boy, like this will be super embarrassing. So I'm
like take a deep breath. I'm like, all right, I've
(41:39):
been here before, Like I just want to, you know,
do something positive. And he took me a break the
ball and I hit it to right center and I
was like, oh gosh, that might be a hit. I'm
like go and then it's like home run. Oh man.
So I hit a home run and you know, crowd's
going crazy and my teammates are going crazy, and it
was just a really cool moment. So that was that
would probably be it, and I thought that be my
(42:00):
last at bat, but I hit a home run. So
we're still in it the next day in a big
pitch hit situation because I hit a home run the
day before, Mike was like, hey, you're hitting again. I'm
like I am. I'm like okay. So I get up
there and I get jammed base hit and so it
wasn't really my last at that, but a lot of
people are like, hey, you're last at that as a cardinal.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Was awesome.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
I'm like, actually, I hate.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
It's about to start tying. Until he said he came
back the next day.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
I didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
I was like, I was like, I'm good, Like I
only put my fleets on. I even putting my jersey on.
Mike's like, hey, if we need you for a big
at bat, really okay.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
You think it gives a couple of hitting tips?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Came and I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
And we said give us a tip, not actually make
us good.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Yeah, ok yeah, okay, go yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
All right, thanks to Matt Holliday. That was awesome. Check
out the episode too much access dot Com. All right,
we'll take a break, we'll come back. Big episode, fun episode.
Good job, everybody, good job, everybody, Eddie. I saw Dak
Prescott's lasuit has been dismissed. The sexual assault LASU against
Dak Prescott dismissed.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Goodness, all right, let's clear his name, let's get let's
get now to what really matters football.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Do you want to pay him sixty million dollars? No?
Speaker 1 (43:09):
I don't want to pay him sixty million.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I'll pay him fifty eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
That's a lot, man, But I just can't think of
anyone else that I want in that spot that's available.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Obviously, a sexual assault lawsuit file against Dak Prescott earlier
this year has been dismissed to judge. Throughout the suit,
Thank goodness, the judge said it lack merit. TMC dot
Com has a story and that has nothing to do
with the money. He's just gonn He's coming up obviously
the last year of his deal. Yeah, he's what he
may be a sixty million dollar attempt. It's a lot
(43:39):
because the market continues to reset itself, right, Yeah, it
always does. The next massive top seven quarterback usually gets
the biggest deal.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
And so ever, I mean, when he has protection, he's really, really,
really good. It's just me we had protection.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
He's one of the best offensive lines in the in
the NFL. Now, well, you're in a row.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
There has been injuries. We've had Zach Martin out for weeks.
So it's not like it's just.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
When everybody has injuries.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
I understand, But the same thing. I think Tom Brady too.
He struggled when he was when he didn't have good protection.
He went seven Super Bowl Hey, under pressure, Tom Brady crap.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
But he end up winning eight seven seven? Why did
Belichick have eight rings?
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Then he won one of the giants back in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
That's right. I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Great point because I was like, I don't think Brady
wont eight. Then Belichick won the same one less than
Brady because Brady wan with Tampa. Yeah, Belichick must have
wanted a second. But then somewhere else because Brady was
up by one.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Yeah, who cares yours?
Speaker 2 (44:37):
If Dak didn't do it, great. That sucks that it
would be out there if he didn't do it, which
felt like he didn't do it great.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, And they did a good job at kind of
just not exposing that because it came out like what
five six months ago and then kind of went away. Yeah,
so I'm glad they kind of didn't get a lot
of attention and and kind of mess with his psyche
and all that. So I'm glad that's all over.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Okay, I think we're done.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
And Bill had two as a coordinator.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
He did cool. I was like, Kevin didn't know.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
That, but it's what rings his boat?
Speaker 2 (45:07):
His boat because it's messed up. Let's go around the
room here. What's on your mind as we wrap this up? Eddie?
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yeah, dude, I was on Instagram and we posted this
Matt Holiday, uh with too much access, and I saw
on my notifications Matt Kemp liked the video the Ballplayer.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Oh you know why because Matt Holliday collaborated and posted himself.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Okay, I didn't know that. That makes sense. So I'm thinking,
how on earth did watch this?
Speaker 2 (45:36):
That's exactly what happened. So Holiday posted it on his
we collabed on it.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
That makes sense. The journey in my mind was like, wow,
does Bobby know Matt Kemp has never told us?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Kevin, what are you struggling with? Thinking about nothing?
Speaker 3 (45:48):
Do we go ahead up?
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Matt Kemp?
Speaker 1 (45:50):
How do we do that?
Speaker 2 (45:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Just because he liked our video? Are we able to You're.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Why not? But that was really episode has done really well,
like those single person ones? Is that the first legends
we put out? Oh we have, and we've done them.
We just haven't put him out. Oh yeah, that one's
done really well.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Have we talked about what we've recorded so far?
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Well, we did Jim Edmonds. Yeah, and that'll come out
Logan Ryan super Bowl champion.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Good stuff man? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
So yeah, okay, cool read do you have anything?
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (46:20):
Okay, cool Kevin.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
I'm going to see Zach Bryan this weekend for the
first time I haven't seen I saw him actually like
three years ago, but small venue. He wasn't the same.
So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Katie going to the beach next week.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
What beach do you go to?
Speaker 4 (46:36):
We're going to Destin. But there's all those shark attacks.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
You can find them. I read an article where you
just poke them in the eye.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
They're good.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
You do the two finger, yes, yeah, or one If
you can only get one in there, that's fine. As
soon as they get poked the eye, they freak out
and let go.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
I started debating on what would be the best part
to lose, and I think foot is my go to.
That's like, if I have to get close to it,
definitely the foot overhand because Eddie is still doing pretty good. Yeah,
I can get around one foot.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
This stomach would suck, oh God, like heart and brain
would suck.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
No, crap would be the word.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
Yeah, that would pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
I'll end with this read our dear, lovely kind what
are you gonna say? Soft? At times, I would say gullible,
sensitive manchild because he's so tall and he's still like
a little kid. He communicates in a way sometimes that
(47:30):
I can giggle at. What he used to always do
is he'd be like, I was going to ask you,
and then he would ask, and I would be like, no,
you are asking. I was going to ask you if
you no, no, But but you're asking right now, even
though you're gonna ask me. Because if you say I
was going to ask you, but I didn't, and what
I would have asked you and don't even answer, you know,
(47:51):
that would be it. And today he comes in he's like, hey,
well you sign a Stanley the Dog Book. I don't
know who it's for some of your family. Uh, it's
a woman that he works with, Oh boy. And he's like,
will you sign a Stanley the Dog Book for me?
I was like sure, for it wasn't for him as
for somebody else. I was like, yeah, sure, where is
it goes? Well, I don't have one. Oh boy. He
didn't ask for the book. He just said will you
(48:12):
signed the book? And I said yeah, sure, I said
I didn't give it to whomever. And he's like, wow,
I don't have one, so what a ben? Hey, do
you have an extra Stanley the Dog Book that I
can have that you can sign for whomever. It's just
has communication.
Speaker 5 (48:24):
I try to avoid confrontation.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
It's not confrontational. The confrontation is when I go, you
communicate weird. Now we're gonna make fun of you a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Read it. How many times do you practice the before
you ask him a question?
Speaker 5 (48:38):
I say I'm going to practice, and then I don't
ever practice.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Practice what asking it?
Speaker 1 (48:42):
How to ask it? Because whenever he says like I
was gonna ask, I was going to ask you like,
it sounds like he's been rehearsing it. Wick up, wake
up in.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
The morning, Come on and I'll tell you what he
asked me recently, Hu about his bachelor party.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
Oh yeah, huh?
Speaker 2 (48:57):
Can the stripper be a man? And nobody nobody thinks
it count.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
So he comes up to me, he's like, Hey, if
I invite you to my bachelor party, would you go?
If I invite you, you go? And I'm like, is
this you inviting me? And he's like, I'm just saying, like,
if you're available, Like, would you go.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
What if I stripped from my own bachelor party?
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Be weird?
Speaker 5 (49:16):
Yes, I gotta figure it out.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
All that.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
I have no idea what I'm going to do for
bachelor trip.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
We did tell him Vegas that no, I can't do Vegas.
Speaker 5 (49:24):
An ager be real bad money wise, I probably lose
a good amount of money. But I was thinking maybe
a golf trip or something.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
All DraftKings before you go and say keep me from
all game, you know, Okay, I'll sign this book for
him that I'm giving you. You didn't ask for the book,
you just said what I signed it?
Speaker 1 (49:41):
He was thinking.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I was thinking, maybe you'd sign a book for me
if I had a book, that's all. What if we
had strippers that were men and with they were stripping
beside each other just to be equal and fair. Read
we love you, buddy, you guys. All right, that's it,
Thank you guys, and we'll see you on Monday.
