Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everybody, and welcome back to the On Deck Podcast
by Prospects Live. And we have maybe our greatest idea
ever coming up this episode. Drew, we're doing the grandpad Draft.
Now what is the grandpa draft?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, on behalf of the elder statesman of this podcast,
the old Man, I feel privileged to explain to you
whipper snappers what we're doing. So what we're doing is
we're looking for the player at each physician coming to
a consensus on this player for each physician in twenty
twenty five is major League Baseball who most exemplifies.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
What a grandpa would love in baseball.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
So that may be might be a little bit up
for discussion between each of us. We may each have
a different Grandpa and Mond here. But one thing is
for sure when we get this team together, they're gonna
have a lot of spunk, a lot of scrap. They're
gonna be real gamers, they're gonna be difficult to get
out at the plate. They're gonna play some good, old, solid,
old fashioned defense. So if you're ready to hear something

(00:57):
about that team, I employee to stick around thro the
because we're gonna get at it right now.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
And the boys on the corner. We're trying to figure.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
You out.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
A pay and welcome back. And this is essentially the
ex grit draft in my wrong race. I mean, what
what an ex dog ex Grandpa? I don't know what
our what our terminology should be here?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Expected hustle that's another. That's another good one. Obviously, there's
gonna have to be some sort of They can't be
like too twitchy, but they have to be like a
heady base runner, you know. They have to have some pizzaz,
not not enough pizzazz. They have to have some like
heady base running in their game as well. I think
that's a criteria I should have asked my grandpa. That's
a couple of players. My grandpa actually text me about

(01:52):
mostly Tigers. Uh, there might be a couple of Tigers
that make their way onto this list.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I expect a certain z M will be a heavy
contention for this team.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, so right off the bat, we're gonna go to
catcher and some of the stats we're looking for, at
least what I'm looking for is here is I'm looking
for a guy who doesn't strike out, a guy who
hits for average. Good defense is definitely a plus. I mean,
if they have home runs, it's obviously an added bonus.
I think Grandpa is still value the stolen base more
than maybe some other parties do. So, like the first

(02:23):
thing I'm doing in fangrass is I'm sorting by strikeout percentage.
So I'm pulling up the catchers right now, guys, and
I think we can just kind of open forum this
thing is is what kind of catchers catcher eye as
far as a grandpa's favorite player, So.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Alejandro Kirk definitely, because if we're looking at strikeout right,
he's walking almost as much as he strikes out. You know,
we're talking about a guy who has some power. He's
a good defender. Ryan Jeffers a sorry grandpa esque William
Contrerez would sneakly be a good grandpa aske catcher as well.
So those are kind of like the three contenders as

(03:03):
much as I think, you know, real ball noters know
how awesome that the al MVP is. And Cal Rawley
he does strike out quite a bit, he is only
hitting two forty one. Basically, this is just me looking
and seeing who are some of these dumb Twitter accounts,
So like, I can't believe this guy's an MVP consideration.
It's like we're talking about a catcher, so let's just
be complaining about Twitter. I might leave Twitter at some point,

(03:25):
who knows. But yeah, I just think that Alejandro Kirk, Blinkaturs,
and Ryan Jeffers are my contenders for the all Grandpa Catcher.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
I my eye went right to Ryan Jeffers. Those Minnesota
grandpa's must just love him, so anyone else meant, like
a Dylan Dingler type is definitely possible with the good defense.
He does, punch out quite a bit, doesn't walk a
whole lot. Catcher's tough. If we want to go defense,
we go Kirk. If we want to go vibes, I
think it's probably Jeffers three. Do you got anything here?

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah? I have.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I have some very dru analysis. Sorry, you guys knew
what you were getting when you invited me to host the.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Show with you.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Alfandro Kirk looks like a grandpa player.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Like he's very he's shaped very non traditionally to the
point where they like, well, that's an athlete, that's a
real athlete.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know, John Colo is standing to discuss the grandpa's
with his big muscles and Hollywood looks. Give me the
fire hydrant. No, no disrespect, Aljandra, you could beat the
hell out of me.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
So I actually want to say something about the way
players are built. Grandpa's mine says he misses the day
of the fat reliever, right, the fat reliever who just
throws gas and like he's like probably drinks beer in
the outfield after the game. My grandpa misses those, he
says that. He says that he misses the day of Uh,
So we don't. We're not going for a lot of athleticism.
So I think Alejandro Kirk might be perfect fat reliever.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Definitely matters here. Body type and looks I think are
huge part of Alhandra. Kirk's also the second best defensive
catcher in baseball this year, give or take play, and
he's almost hitting three hundred. It almost feels like too
easy of a pick. I think that the more we
talk about it, the more I I think it has
to be Alejandro Kirk.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
It's a shame we're.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Not doing a battery because I really love what you
said for Jeffers, Like he does have that Minnesota grandpa.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Like this guy knows what's what, Like I I ybe vibe.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
So let's move on over to first base with Alejandra
Kirk being the first player on our Grandpa draft, and
I immediately want to go to whoever's on the Milwaukee Brewers.
Andrew Vaughan is the guy who strikes me early. However,
he might not hit for enough average. Do you have
a nomination for your first base men for the Grandpa Draft?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
I think Vinnie pas Quentino. He kind of fits the
grandpa aesthetic that we're going for. Spencer Torklesen is not
a Grandpa contender because my grandpa probably texts me complaining
about Spencer Torklesen. He does not care the day. And
that's twenty eight home runs and as one hundred and
twenty WRC plus. He's like the guy strikes out over
almost a quarter of the time he's up there, My Grandpa,
that's fine these days, Like I would be celebrating a

(05:54):
twenty five per cent striker right in twenty.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Eight home runs, guys, Josh Naylor.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Grandpa's like Bryce Harper, and I'm just using my grandfather.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Grandpa have to hate Bryce Harper, no way.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
He's good enough. He can be cocky, though he's not.
He's been around for long enough. I think we'll get
to when we're talking about pictures. If you're good enough.
I think that grandpa's are okay with it.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
One of one of my favorite memories with one of
my grandfather's rfp Owen McDougall, shout out to you and heaven.
He loved following Bryce Harper's career.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
With me because he knew that we both.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Loved him since high school, and so every time Bryce
did anything meaningful, he would call our text and say,
you see Bryce today? And I know I love that,
but I do have some suggestions abone, and it's going
kind of off of our path, if that's okay.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
I feel like a grandpa appreciates a Hall of Famer,
and so Freddy Freeman's gotta be in contention here because
Freddy Freeman is a goat. And then we also need
to consider guys. During our all MLB team we said
that vlad Garral Junior. I think that was what was
the impetus of this idea, was that we said lad
Girl Junior would be the grandpa draft pick.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
So I think this is a loaded crop.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I love everything you guys said, but I think it's
I think it's wide open.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Honestly, I think my only pushback would be against Bryce Harper.
Sure when I think of like Grandpa's favorite players, not
the flashy guy, because like if if Freddy Freeman and
Bryce Harper are similar as far as skill level go,
which I think is a fair assumption to your toy,
Actually I believe that they have exact same more this year,
Freddy Freeman is the less sexy version of Bryce Harper.

(07:29):
I want to get as unsexy as possible.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Quote that that that you know we're gonna start coming
out with T shirts. My my thing on relievers is
going to be the number one selling I want to
get on sexy is a really good thing. I put
it on one of those two tone hats, one where
that what the brim is like green or red or blue,
and then the rest of it's like a beige. Okay,
I'm with you on my vote is Freddy Freeman, then.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
I would vote for him as well, unanimous. I think
Freeman's the guy.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Second base is where I think we get a little weird.
Second base is like a Grandpa love position.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yes, I'm gonna throw Freddy Freeman in there, and Reese
you can kick us off with a couple of initial
names at second.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay, what do grandpa's love batting average and contact? Who
is maybe the best contact hitter of our generation, Louis ariahs.
I feel like grandpa's will love him. I can't stand him.
I think Grandpa's just loved the fact that he chokes
up on two strikes. He doesn't look to pull the ball.
He's looking to, you know, hit the ball where the

(08:28):
where the defenders are. That's a grandpa, isn't if I've
ever heard one. I think Grandpa second basement Corn Horner
is a grandpa. Second great Nico Horn is younger than
I his grandkids.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
I believe that Adam Frazer just always deserves a nod
for an all Grandpa's team.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
We're just looking at the Kansas City Royals at this point.
Brand Donovan is such a such a grandpa, we might
have to.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Move some of these second Basement around it that.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Donovan can play different positions, so you can put them
in left field if we need to. Kee Schell's too
too young and too new to be a grandpa. Second
Baseman proved himself yet, Yeah he isn't. He's taking the
job of a Wiley veteran, a very common grandpa phrase,
Wiley veteran. So outside of the cheating.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I do have a I have just a thought, not
really a suggestion to so much as a thought. I
think that our player needs to be near the complete
opposite of Jazz Chisholm, who I think is right there
with Bryce Harper as being the anti grandpa. This is
like grand Son team would be Jazz.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Mike literally Adam Frazier and the young Corner. Yeah, my
dad is a grandpa. Now out to my brother giving
him a grandson, and he hates jas Chism. Oh, actually
he loves him because he's a Yankee and he does
all these dumb decisions. So he, like he said, if
he was on the Tigers, I think that Justism would
make him bald. So yeah, who guys, I think Horner.

(10:03):
I think Nico Horner. I really do think.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I'm waiting Horner rise for sure.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
For some reason, I have forgotten about a Rise in
this mix.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Can we play this season?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Can we play Nico at another infield position if one
comes up like crushed, or can we play a Rise at.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Like I mean, we could add a d H in
there and just throw.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
The d that's the most dhrise a designated see ever
since David Ortiz has retired.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
I don't think grandpa's have liked any d H. Ever,
David Ortiz had like a universal approval rating, so.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I think so if we're also thinking like approval rating, well,
I guess we probably shouldn't because I don't like Arise either,
which might make grandpas like him. I think I think
we throw a Rise at the DH and Horner at
second base and we just have a contact first d H.
And it's so funny.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
I think everyone else a zagging. That's so good because
it's the funniest part is we're not even putting Louisa
Rise to keep. Well. Actually, technically he would help the
all grandpa team because defense is important. Luisa Rice is
a horrific defender.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's what I'm saying. Okay, okay, the third based on somewhere,
I'm going to shortstop first rees just for you.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Okay, Thank goodness, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
And is this Jacob Wilson ersy too early?

Speaker 4 (11:23):
He's too young.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Grandpa's in in sacer Vegas have to just be loving
this though.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
M hm, you're you're right on the money with that Natee.
They're like, this kid's gonna be something.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
He's going to be a problem by their grandkids, the jerseys,
the whole man.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
My first shout would be Geraldo. Perdomo's walking more than
he strikes out, fifteen home runs, twenty four bags.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's so good.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
The question is how many grandpas call him Giraldo Perdomo.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Oh, Giraldo is definitely getting cold.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say forty eight percent over
under that.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
So over all, twelve grandpas of the Diamondbacks fan base
calls him Giraldo Perdomo.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Giraldo's doing wonderful this season.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Trey Turner is a very grandpa. Is very grandpa where
it was also stay in the same realm as Hall
of Famers. Mookie bets he has a high he has
a high approval rating. But we can put him in
a bunch of different positions so we can find a
spot for for Mookie.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
I love I love.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Where you're going with Mooki Reese, but I think Giraldo
has got to be the fig here.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
That's so cool.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Giraldo's so funny. They're like, man, this Giraldo kid, he
has it. That's what they'd say too. He has it.
He has it. Old scoutisms.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Did we throw? Are we just gonna go Galdo?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Here?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Sorry? Girl?

Speaker 4 (12:43):
What do you think Galdo?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
That was? He feels so, I mean the walking more
than he strikes out. He's hitting two eighty five.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
It's pretty great.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
He's good enough at defense. Also think Arizona grandparents galore
down there.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Oh facts, warm climate. Oh, we should considered warm climate players.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
We need to actually make like a I don't know
what I'm trying to say here, like uh, like how
we're raiding these guys. It's like warm climate, Like we
need like a list of.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
What do they call it? Like winter birding? Yeah, the
winter bird because he was healthy. But my grandparents actually
do this, So yeah, maybe I should. I should call
my grandpa, who should get him on the podcast and
ask who his favorite players are, because I have a
third basement. I don't think it'll surprise anybody. Who's your
third baseman. Jose Ramirez. Grandpa's like my grandpa. He tried
to convince me one of the times I called him

(13:33):
that Jose Ramirez was underrated. And this is the guy
who does not reach fangrapts. He does not have Twitter.
He was trying to convince me he's like, man, this
guy he kills the Tigers every time, because you have
to find someone who kills their favorite team on my
grandpa is a spoiler alert. Jose Ramirez kills everybody. You know.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
He's also present a name for third base. Sorry, I'm no,
you're I'm cool with I just Clement Ernie. Yeah, he
he doesn't strike out.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Alex Bragman too is a grand very grandpa esque player.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Our team's too good, man, Our team's too good when
you start looking down the board like Ben Williamson. Total
grandpa guy, total grandpa guy.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Shut up. John Birdie. John Birdie is a grandpa grandpa player.
You know who's not a grandpa as player Junior Kman
Arow grandpa's grandpa's would hate Junior Kim and Arrow and
they would hit over.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I have a thought, and I'm not I'm not suggesting
this guy, but y'all just hear me out. I think
the player I want to nominate for wants most to
be a grandpa guy, but is going the complete opposite direction.
Alex Bow, he wants so bad to be grandpa, but
he is not.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Will be a little bit more power, Yeah, he needs
a little bit more something, for sure.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
I'll go with power.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
He's on the verge of Grandpa.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Give him a year or two impossibly, like he was
to write it, you can hit that.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Ball, Max Max months. He strikes out a little too much,
but he does walk a lot, and grand grandpa's a
lot of them can't walk, so they're jealous of that.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
True, that's true.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Matt Chapman is a grandpa player. Defensively at third base.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm gonna one up you one with a Miles master Bony.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh my god, Miles is also a grandpa name for sure.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Miles Kevin Newman is walking point nine percent of the time.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
I filtered by strikeout rate? Do you want do you
want to guess who has the highest strikeout rate among
third baseman? Just just a quick aside.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
I'm filtering the other way. I would say, doesn't McMahon
strike out?

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Like, oh dude, you got it? Dad of the time? Uh?
Jonah Bride very much not a grandpa player, and then
uh Max Munsey Athletics is also up there. Nolan Gorman,
Paul de Young and you know Paul Deyong is playing
this year. Good for him. Caleb Durban is going to

(16:03):
be a Grandpa ass player in like two to three.
He's gonna have like two or three home runs in
the postseason that Grandpa is gonna watch on national television
after he eats his jell o and it's gonna shout out, jel.
I'm not. This is no disrespect.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
No oh no, no, but your but facts.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
You're right, sugar, Grandpa for Diets future Grandpa team, Jacob Wilson,
Caleb Derbin, give.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Them five six years.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I want my Grandpa team to have a ninety four
WRC plus and that is what Ernie Clement has.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Yeah, let's go. I'm cool, Ernie Clement. I just wanted
to shout out my grandpa again.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think is too good.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Maybe he is too good, but my grandpa tried to
convince me that he was underrated, so I could not
like I'm not going to like a year ago.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
From perspectation, like from your grandpa's perspective, not getting into
like the sicko weeds of baseball. Jayram is underrated, like
nobody ever talks about him.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, he's at national media.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
He was also talking to me about Miguil Vargas recently.
I was like, I was like, you were pulling some
deep ass names. But then I remember all he watches
the Tigers game, so like if someone goes off against
the Tigers, he thinks are great. He doesn't watch like
anything else.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Grandpa White is the man.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh my gosh, okay, left field my friends and Alex call.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Man.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
This is calling for Alex call no pun intended, but.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Like Isaac Collins is right in there. What is playing
the most?

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Steven Kwan is a good version of this, Like if
we're going for the all like impact grandpa.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Team, I'm not going for good players. If Mark Kanna,
Mark Cannon is a grandpa player.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Mark Canna is very grandpa.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think Grandpa would actually, and now this is going
to be maybe contentious. What a grandpa love the fact
that George Springer is back because I feel.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Like he would. I think he would. But we're trying
not to go for very good right.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh okay, okay, that's fair, that's fair. I'm sorry, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I mean, like jam is like a total grand.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
So grandpa no, no, no trust. Mesissippi State. Grandpa's from here,
Mississippi State Grandpa's think Jake Mangum is him.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
I think Isaac Collins is definitely. I mean, I like
that white boy is nice? Is he white? What is
Isaac Collins? I don't actually know.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I don't listen, listen, listen, listen.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
This was bound to come up, and I'm not going
to say it, but we are treading dangerous water with
this topic.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
So let's move forward. Andrew Bennon Tendy is a ninety
four w RC plus he fits this demographic twenty.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
I really like Isaac Collins.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I like being attendee a lot for this Teamtendy's so good.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Harrison Bader is pretty Just shout out to us for
the Grandpa's. We did not go full Caucasian, right, You
don't have no Giraldo who would be pronounced as if
he's Caucasian. And then Ernie Clement. I think Ernie Clement
is Is there any club from the Domainian Republic? I
could be wrong.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
I'll search that is so light, Oh my god, to
the University of Virginia.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
You don't get whiter than that.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
We're still looking. I mean Chandler's Simpson is do Grandpa
sneaky like him?

Speaker 4 (19:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, because they don't care about his defense to slashy
too flashy.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
No way.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Ben and Tende is so good here Nathan Luke's man
that is like Alec Burlison, but they're too good. Nick
lofton players, is.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
This where we go back to our old friend Adam Frazier.
I'm curious can.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
He play left field?

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Probably with Alejandro Assona I never believed and his brief
sample time in the major leagues it does not have
me believe it. I got then argument with people on
staff about him. I do not I do not like it.
I want to on a corner outfield whits for some power.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Brandon Nimmo is Brandon Nimmo a grandpa type fella.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
He is, he's too good. Brandon marsh is too much
hair for grandpa?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yes, oh Grandpa hate that hair.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yes, Philly Grandpa make it into I think a Philly
grandpa would be like, he's got edge.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
But then like everywhere else, like nah, na cut your hair.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Andrew Ben and Tendy is a horrible defender.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, my grandpa likes Triyley Green and he strikes out
thirty percent of the time. But again, my grandpa thinks
that the Tigers are the best team in country, which
they are. Colton Kowser is a ninety w R C
plus man. I thought Zac Dezenzo was gonna be good.
He's not. Jake Bowers.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
If we're not we're not doing we're not doing good players.
But can we talk really like five ten words or less?

Speaker 3 (20:35):
How grandpa is won soda? We're not putting one soda
on this team, but how grandpa is won soda?

Speaker 4 (20:40):
He's pretty Grandpa Willie Castro, there we.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Go, Yes, perfect, that's a perfect grandpa.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Which hitter too, switch hitter? They were like double the
switch hitters thirty years ago. Can Willie Casher has played
a lot of that field this year, hasn't he?

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah, he's played a lot.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Should we just pencil him in?

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Oh he's not been touched drift?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
I like that, all right, Senator field.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Jake Mangum, I really like Mangum. That's a that's a
terrible shout, raw T j Friedel McNeil, Jeff McNeill, he
chokes up, Jeff m you said we're going for bad players.
Jeff mcnil's good.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
You're right, he's been good enough. You're right, you're right.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
It's not Jeff McNeil's fault that the Mets manager is
a ding dong. It doesn't want to play him all
the time for some stupid reason. Because Raw with w
r C plus Kyle isabel.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh, Kyle's bell is such a good.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
One, Jackson Merrill, I feel like Meryl's still too young.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
But you're on the right track with Merrill Reese. I
think that's.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
M hmm. I can't stop looking at Kyle's bell. He
hits without power, is great defender Lefty he's old too, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
He's he's not not old. I mean he's not young.
We could say that.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I think twenty late twenties safely.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Let's see twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Okay, Dalton var show is too good for this, Jack Sewinsky,
Grandpa's would love to say the last name Siwinsky.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I have a thought, and I'm curious how much do
extra curriculars count against the player.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
In this they have to count?

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Okay, I was gonna.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Suggest people who focus on ball.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Okay, I was gonna suggest Andrew McCutcheon, but I think
Grandpa's would hate the fact that he's like hyper into
furries and their culture now.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
So so it was not expected. I thought that was
me he was gonna bring something up like that.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
I'm just saying like he always tweets about whatever that
thing is called, and it's very anyway, whatever, center shield,
I'm not really moved.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Like Isabelle a lot. Is Belle and Mangum are the
two who scream Grandpa of me. They both hit for average,
They're both good defenders.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I could I could vibe with either.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I know for a fact one sect of the country
is obsessed with Jake Mangham, But I think isabel maybe,
in my mind.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
The better player here.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
I like Kles Bell being Roman center field.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
For us, do it, do it, Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Right field, guys, we need we need to go deep
on a pole here with right field hmmm, I mean
South Freelick. Immediately, I'm like, it's not super deep, but
holy Grandpa, Holy Grandpa.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
John Rave. Yeah, right field. Right fields a hard position
because I really only care if you can hit like
dirty home runs. I really don't care what you do
the rest. But Grandpa's are the exact opposite. D talk men,
Dylan is a grandpa player.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
My dad loves Dylan Moore.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Oh man, your dad already hates me as it is
so let's go with Randall Gritchuck's been a while, but
there's been a lot of grandpa's that I've been exposed
to the Randall Gritschick experience.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Too. We can create a new position for Dylan Moore.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
The Dylan Moore position. Brian Reynolds is a grandpa grandpa
right fielder man.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Brian Reynolds is such a good grandpa player.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
He has an interesting no trade clause. I'm learning to
get into that here. Yeah, Miketsky because some grandpa's might
remember his like relative.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
I actually kind of love that. That's filthy race, that is,
that's cruel to bring.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
I actually think that Mike is perfect for this.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
It's a royal too, that's true.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
That sounds very good.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
He's actually exactly doing okay, he's doing better than you
would think one oh nine w orc plus, which is
I think he's been like in the wilderness, he's been
bad for a while. Let me see. Yeah, well no,
actually ignore me, I don't know ball one O seven
one eleven ninety nine. Yuck, he's been pretty good.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I think we go Mike Stremskin ride field, we utility,
Dylan Moore, we utill Dylan.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Moore second right second that motion.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah, Mikeremsky. Well, the moment I thought I saw him,
I was like, grandpa's will remember the other Eu stremskis. Plus, well,
grandpa is not gonna have a fun time saying to
Stromski every Grandpa. Okay, pictures So okay, we went with
not the best hitters. At a certain point, I think
pictures man Paul Skans. Grandpa's will gonna love Paul Skins. Well,

(25:47):
they might not like him for Livy Dune if they
know who Livy Done is, but that means that your
grandpa's pretty online, so maybe they don't know about Livy
don not the Livy Dun's and Deterrent.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
I've got two.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Names for sure that I want to throw out there
as in consideration. The first one Logan Web and then
the second uh, oh my god, I just lost his name.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Excuse me, Son, completely different direction, I like, what are
you thinking? My first first thought was like Jansen junk
strikes nobody, watch nobody, give me a ground ball pitcher.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Okay, okay, I see what you're doing here, Nate, I
like Jameson jn't care too.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
I'm gonna go in a different direction. I'm gonna go
with guys that have been around for a while, our
grandpa rotation if it was just me doing, if we
submitted our own, which maybe we'll have to at least
revisit this at some point. Clayton Kershaw, Max schurz Er,
Justin Verlino. They've been around for as long as some grandpa's.
They're old enough to be grandpot's.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
So really, I kind of like that point too, because
them plus Nico Horner ups our actual grandpa quota on
the team too.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
We have three why don't we all get Michael?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
We have TV's striking out five guys per nine.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
I'm gonna have nowhere to go on reliever like reliever.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
I have a reliever written down I've had.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
We might even have to expand our relievers, just I think.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
So, I think, so, okay, I'm cool with whatever.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Was the three grandpa's pitching?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Do we need to throw a rich Hill in there?
Maybe two that?

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yeah, good old Dick Mountain, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
I think we got to get one super old guy.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
I agree?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, So whoever was your favorite?

Speaker 4 (27:25):
What is the most if we pulled a hundred grandpas
at them all? I don't know if you guys have
ever been pulled in to be like tested, you know,
asked about something I once did for perfume or not
for cologne, and they asked me if I thought it
smelled fierce, and I looked at them, I was like,
I don't know what fierce smells like, dude, And they
gave me cologne and ten dollars to go away. So
who is the real winner?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
All right?

Speaker 4 (27:48):
So yeah, So one of my more interesting stories isn't
Sacramento and.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I'm looking at right now and.

Speaker 6 (27:55):
Miss Actually the funniest tweet for Miles michaelas Michael's gonna
be lizards pitching for the Savannah Bananas, which one.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Of sures are Verlander and Kershaw is the most grandpa
in the year twenty twenty five.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
It has, I Thinkshaw as well.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Okay, that's number one.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Well, a lot of grandpa's in the Los Angeles area,
and he pitches like a grandpa would pitch a lot
of deception. Schres Are still has got some oomf on
the fastball. I think Kershaw is probably topping out of
what seventy mile power fastballs. It looks like these days
it's like Nate Rasmussen on the mound. I'm just joking.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Is Miles michaelas a serious one?

Speaker 3 (28:46):
I would, I would, I would second Miles Michaelis.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
That's I think Miles Michaelis will be the single funniest
name on there.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
That's okay, One more starting pitcher.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Okay, we need someone who like a fifth starter type.
But your grandpa, like your randpa saw him pitch once
and thinks he's the truth.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
I had a name come to mind, and I don't
mean to disrespect this guy, I don't at all, but
I could see this being the case. Andre Polanti is
pretty good, like just kind of like a okay, grandpa.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I Mari Kelly sounds like a grandpa.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Oh, Meryl ke Meryl Mary Kelly looks like a grandpa.
He looks so stressed out. He looks like a grandpa
who's whose kids, whose kid and grandkid lives with him.
If you've ever seen the bags on of that dude's eyes, Yeah,
he looks like a like a stressed out grandpa.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
If we're not going in, if we're going if we're
going in the Andrea Poland which I'm going to call
the Drew Smiley Memorial Award, My grandpa was at Drew
Smiley's debut for the Tigers and swears that Drew Smiley
was the next Ace. This is just me reminiscent at
my grandpa. Shout out Grandpas him.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
When I sort by least velocity, we have Kyle HENDRICKX
and Trevor Williams World Series.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
World Series ground balls, no velocity old.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Yes, win an Ivy League school grandpass are gonna love that.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
He's got it up here, He's got it up here.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Yeah, all right, I have a I have a.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Andrew Chaffin for sure.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
That was the right when Reese was talking about body size.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I mean, damn it, chasing such a good one.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
I I loved it. I was gonna counter with like
an Aaron Bummer, like a weird am Tim Hill type.
But I like cha. No, I like Andrew Chafing so
much more.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
I mean you said expand relievers, we could do two
or three, because I think Bummer and Chaffin are both
just filthy polls.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Here Andrew Chaffin and Aaron Bummer.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Let's see. Let me just see if I can see
any more relievers. I don't, what are you mean?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Difficult?

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Fing gross?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
So in the in the realm of like the Jacob
Wilson Taylor Durban Future Grandpa Team. I think Zach Maxwell
has a real shot at me here.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Oh, big big Sugar, Big Sugar Cincinnati Grandpa's are gonna
love them when they eat. They're disposed in Chili.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I mean, Colby Allard is a guy who does like
two Wenning relief for Cleveland and throws at ninety doesn't
strike out a soul.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
That curveball sends you their shadow realm. What's it called
if he's even throwing the curveball anymore?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Grandpa's pitched too.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yeah, Grandpa grandpas thinking they need to bring them up
the curveball. My grandpa is very excited about the splitter
making a return. I'm trying to think, is there any
other also rands? Maybe we can throw a couple. We
move really quick through this. Some future prospects that are
going to be Grandpa. Kevin McGonagall is a future grandpa like,

(31:59):
he's shore, he's stocky, he's gritty.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
McGonagall McGonagall is on that Jacob Wilson tractories where I
would almost buy him as being an instant admission to
the Grandpa team. If he just wasn't so young. Yeah,
like year one or two, I think Wilson and McGonagall
they're very much of the same cloth.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Year twenty eight, when they've already inducted Kevin McGonagall into
the Hall of Fame for some reason, he's going to
be a grandpa. He'll probably have he'll probably have sun
the entire league, so that he'll have to grandson the
rest of other other teams.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
So, uh, isn't William Burgoya hold on, let me full
it up? Is a grandpa in my mouse? No, here's
the status of series. You're a home runs thirty six steel,
seven percent, walks five percent grandpa. That's a grandpa player
right there.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
That's aw let's do someone who should have been a
grandpa grandpa player. Williams a studio, he should have been
a grandpa.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Pap oh Man l one of my favorites.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah, whatever happened to him.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
I like to think he's just like sitting on a
beach with a really hot wife and some kids watching
sea turtles and drinking something nice and just telling them, yeah,
I still home once or I hit you know, I
hit for the cycle once, and like all his.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
All his children love him.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
That's what I want for Williams as to do so bad.
He plays in the MPB.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Wow, Okay, that's cool.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
In twenty twenty three he hasn't played since.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Maybe he's on the beach.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
He had a four percent strikeout rate and a four
percent walk great and hit one thirty six twenty seven
and the MPB rikoon Ishida oh Rika.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Is a really good use of wood bat in college.
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Ricu's such a good one. Nate, Wow, that was sick
gross pool on your part.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
Hitchers. Oh.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Enrique Bradfield Junior. Is he kind of teetering into grandpa mode?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah? Yeah, he plays with some swag though that's true.
It brings me back to.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Justin Crawford is less swag and Grandpa's might remember his dad,
So we have to do that plagues into the found
which is maybe why Flat Guerrero Junior should have been
in our first because Grandpa's will know Flat Guerrero Senior
inspect them being two totally different players, like archetypes of players.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I do want to just throw out if we were
going to replace anybody on the team, I think Freeman
is the guy we would we would pull here because
just based on what we said later, is Freddie Freeman
too good for this team?

Speaker 1 (34:34):
It's a real question.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
The funniest part if you look back on this team is,
since we're doing someone elysis on it is we went
really good for the first half of the hitters and
then we got to Ernie Clement. No shots at Ernie
Clement because it's like we need worse players.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
We were too good. No known Dominicans.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
How many?

Speaker 3 (34:53):
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
I don't know why. I thought Ernie Clement that's that's.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Listen, that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Ma Man, he went to the University of Virginia.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
That's about as far for the Dominican as you can
get on the map.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
If this team was in let's say they were in
the al Central, how dare you where did they finish?

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Uh? Second?

Speaker 3 (35:19):
I was going to say third, because.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
With this pitching staff, they're definitely finishing second. Have you
seen some of the have you seen some of the
rest of the central teams?

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Nate Nankil is a grandpa player as well.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Nate nan Kill is such a grandpa player. I'm trying
to think, is there any prospects? Who's someone that South
Stewart's not a grandpa prospect. He's not a rece prospect either.
Cole Young was a grandpa prospect Young. Cole Young such
a grandpa prospect. Colt Emerson a name like cult Grandpa's

(35:53):
of God love it they that Grandpa's are not a
fan of Caden's Aiden's, Jaden's.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Braidend Blayden.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
More, Ernies more more Dominican Arnies.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
I like the team.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
I think we did good and I love that you
plocked them in the Central and that's just how they
would do in the Al Central.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
That was such a week they.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Would be in like Minnesota. They're Montana, like I.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Was gonna say that, they're the Omaha. Grandpa's right, They're
the Palm Springs. That's where everyone, all the old people live.
I think that's the oldest city in the country. I
love that.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
I'm just making that up. I'm actually gonna look it up.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Phoenix elderly people, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
My grandparents live in Palm Springs.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Your grandparents live in Palm Springs. I'm not go hanging out
with your grandparents next time in Palm Springs.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Palm Springs like Augustine, Florida, we're adding another team in Florida.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Oh, just St. Augustine. Saint Augustine, Florida is old, like,
they don't let you in unless you're like fifty.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
What's those team names?

Speaker 3 (36:59):
The Horses in honor of band of horses who has
a great song called Saint Augustine?

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Is that an old person name? I think we probably
should just I think we should probably name him the
Indians son to getting canceled, it's been Fun's been great time.
Someone laughed at that.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Warriors, I think is in that same kind of vein. Uh,
Defenders is actually kind of a wild shout here.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
I mean, considering, let's see, let's let's get back on
track here. I think we I think we just ended here.
I think I think this was a great segment. We
spent enough time on it. And and that is the
Grandpa Draft. I'll run the people through it really fast, okay,
uh Alejandra Kirk catching, Freddie Freeman at first, Nico Horner
at second, Geraldo Perdomo at shortstop. Third base is Ernie

(37:51):
Clement leftfield, Willie Castro center field, Kyle Isabel right field,
Mike Yastremsky, d h Luisa Rise and utility man, Dylan More.
Your starting pitchers are Clayton Kershaw, Miles Michaelis, and Kyle Hendricks.
And your two relievers are Andrew Chafin and Aaron Bummer.
That might have been the best to pick sequence of
the draft. So that is your Grandpa's favorite team player draft.

(38:13):
And we will see you.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Back with p Live News in just a minute.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
One thank you to the drop teams for that music interlude.
What's going on in Prospects Live? We got a lot
going on. You know. We from run out of about
top one hundred and the Dynasty Baseball Pickup guys are going.
By the time you're listening to this, doc will put
out of Sunday smoke talking about Thomas White. We have
the last episode that we had before this. Drew and
I went through the FYPD preview. The Dynasty Baseball Pickup

(38:46):
guys you going, you'll have a Dynasty Diplomas and you'll
have two Live looks articles. And with that, Drew, what
is on your mind? So?

Speaker 2 (38:57):
I don't remember if I talked about it on the air,
but as you guys both known as some of you
eagle eared listeners, Eagles don't have great I guess they
do have good hearing. Whatever, I don't care, you'll remember
at home. Possibly I work as a newspaper editor in
my hometown. That's my day job.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
And so.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Those of you who have been around a minute will
remember the movie Walking Tall starring Joe Don Baker from
the nineteen seventies, A couple of sequels. Your favorite actor
and mine, Dwayne the Rock Johnson starred in a remake
of this movie in two thousand and four.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Little known fact.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
I was at the world premiere of that movie. But
that's another story for another day. Either way, it came
out that Buford Pusser, the man who Walking Tall, was
built on his legend, the stories of his life. His
wife was never autopsied after being gunned down in a
supposed ambush in nineteen sixty seven. Beauford, the sheriff of

(39:56):
mcmery County at that time, insisted no autopsy.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
I was there. I know what happened.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Supposedly, they're out on a back road that I've traveled
ten million times in my life. Car came up from
behind them, shot through the car and wounded her. Once
he pulls over to check on her, they pull up again,
shoot her again, shoot him through the jaw, breaking his
jaw off. He gets out of the car, chases this car,
catches up to them and is grabbing their rifle, trying

(40:22):
to wrest it from them until they gun it and
head down the road. He gets in the car and
goes to check on them. This is the story of
Bufford Pusser that inspired this film, this legend, these books,
all these things in McNary County relate back to our
most famous resident of all time, Buford Pusser. The Timnessey
Bureau of Investigation recently completed an investigation into Pauline's death,

(40:43):
and it has been revealed that this appeers there's enough
evidence to convict, if he were alive, Beauford Pusser of
murdering his wife, of staging this ambush, staging this crime.
And so your favorite newspaper editor, unless you happen to
know Ben Chase, in which case he's definitely your favorite
newspaper editor, but your second favorite newspaper editor. Drew Wheeler

(41:06):
is currently amidst writing what will inevitably be a four
thousand word article for the McNairy County News for this week.
I've had multiple people tell me this is gonna be
one of the most significant newspapers to be printed in
our county's history, and so I am feeling the pressure
of writing that and it's very stressful right now. I
don't know if either of you have questions, and if not,

(41:27):
that's totally fine. But I just need an event. So
that's what's on my mind.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
I think it's cool that you, while it is a
crazy situation, it's cool that you're somewhat part of this
revisiting of history.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Thanks man.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
A lot of people are gonna get this information from you.
I think that's like a really cool feeling that I
guess I don't consider as far as like a newspaper goes.
It's like, oh, way, you are the guy that people
are like, actually, you know, whether they know it or not,
hearing this news from and getting their information from. I
think it's really cool. I think it's really cool to
be the bearer of information.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Thanks man.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
That that is anything in life, it's worth.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
It's worth me remembering that'll make it a little easier.
That was sweet of you to say. You were saying
about the name Reese.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Pusser's a very last name. Is the Pusser family. I
didn't even say that was right face. Is the Pusser
family estate coming after you for writing this article? Run wild?
Are they going to put him on trial even though
he's no longer or less.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Well, he's no longer with us, so note.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
The Honestly, I'm very blessed because both Buford and Pauline Pusser,
all of their children have passed away. The oldest, the
oldest grandfather granddaughter excuse me, is my age, and I
grew up with her and know her very well, and
uh my wife, Mallory. Of course, she and Mallory went
to school together through their whole lives, so we know

(42:51):
Madison very well, and I've reached out and told her
how just terribly. I mean, I can't imagine this, like
not only having that weight and having to carry this
legacy for people you never knew, but the fact now
that there's this huge investigation taking away something that you
thought you knew your whole life, it's just it's terribly tragic.
And no, I don't think that the Pusser family is

(43:12):
gonna come for I mean, I'm gonna knock on woods
saying that, but I don't think they're gonna come for me.
Because I'm trying to be as respectful as I can
of their feelings as well.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
That is that is very mature. I don't really have
anything else to say on that.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Ashtag Grandpa Reese, what's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (43:28):
Okay, So from one injustice to another.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
I'd listen, listen. This is the most awful transition.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
But go SEC officials. I don't know Drew and know
you're wearing an SEC shirt. I cannot believe the SEC
officiating that was going on this weekend. In college football,
we watched as Garrett Nessmeyer threw an absolute dot into
the end zone and so it went from originally being
he's out at the one yard line and Garrett, that's

(43:57):
my look, awesome in this game. Maybe we'll have a
little bit of college football talk for this episode, but
it went from out of the end zone to I
think it was like a penalty. They're looking to see
his penalty, and then they said that someone did not
catch a touchdown, and ultimately the touchdown didn't matter because
kde klubnick folded under pressure in a weird way. We talk, well,

(44:18):
we'll talk about some some SEC quarterbacks. I want to
talk about Arch Manning as well. But yeah, I just
think that SEC officiating was awful. Shout out to the
Big Ten, the better conference. Some are saying with Bryce
Underwood him he went in and let a victory in
its first ever collegiate game at the age of it
recently turned eighteen too. I watched a lot of college
football this weekend, so yeah, I just want to complain
about the SEC officiating, and let's talk about arch Manning really quickly.

(44:40):
Let's do a really quick transition to that. I think
that the expectations for arch Manning were way too unfair.
I think people expected him to be the savior, and
he clearly is not. But I don't think he's as
bad as people were putting it on. The offense was
weird Ohio State's defense as much as it makes me
want to vomit saying some thing nice butt Ohio State.
They were really good defensive team. They have one of

(45:03):
the best defenders and Caleb Downs one of the best
defenders and maybe ever in college football history, and he
was on an absolute display. And yeah, I think that
everyone clowning on arch Manning outside of my single favorite
thing I saw was someone it was worth the force
that they burnt down to make this AI generated thing.
They put Anthony Volpe's face into Arch Manning's jersey to

(45:26):
show how bad its own performance was. Open up to
the floor. Do you guys watch any college football and
what do you guys think about Arch Manning?

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Go ahead, arch manding underwhelmed, but he's doomed to failure
going up against Ohio State in like your first start
of the year, especially coming off an off season that
was never gonna go well. I was disappointed that that
game was so poor to watch. I was working at
the Oregon Ducks game because that's how bush No fundraises.
We work a couple of Ducks games as security. So

(45:53):
I saw them absolutely dismantle Montana State. They looked very,
very good. Dante Moore looks like a crime quarterback this year.
So I wasn't able to watch most of the Saturday
sleep because I was at a game.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
I thought, I agree with you both that I think
the expectations for Manning were very unfair, but he is
He's an original kind of guy. You're not gonna get Peyton,
You're not gonna get Eli. I think the closest thing
may ironically be kind of Grandpa Archie. With what we're
gonna see for arch like he's just kind of versatile.
Like you guys said, though on the road at the

(46:32):
Shoe is just a death sentence for nearly anybody, Like
a three year starter. I'd be like, Eh, that's tough
first start. But away from home that.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Which goes in there and kurb snops those losers.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, I can't take you seriously after what you just
said about the SEC right now, but I do want
to give a shout out to your guy.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Brice Underwood.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Tremendous and I'm so glad he went to the Home
the Home State College es. I would have been sick
to my stomach could be happened. But what the committing
to Michigan video was one of the most disgusting pieces
of content I'm seting this year.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
It was insane, so cool that he's.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Also think he would have been moronic to turn down
twelve million dollars from Dave Portmot and everybody else. That
would have been sickening as well. Also shout out Ryan
Day and his nipple piercing.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yes, Bryan Days nips the star of the show.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
I almost like him.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
I almost like I like him more because he cannot
beat Michigan. I think he's my favorite Ohio state coach
of all time. He is a he's a dufist as
a coach, but also the nipple piercing man. You could
have taken that out, but he's just like not rocking
and rolling. I won a national championship. Only one of
his nipples is peers, which is wild. Yeah, we need,
we need, we need to get back on track.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I have a real quick thing. Can you d five
words or less give me your opinion on Urban Meyer?

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Please?

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Oh? A scum, U loser criminal.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
It gets better, this is great?

Speaker 4 (47:55):
Can I just can I add one more word? Pos? Yeah?
I hate Urban Meyer.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
I figured you were saying, I'm sorry, Reese, uh ate
what's on your mind?

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Oh, we're doing a draft. We're gonna do the content
we consume draft because I couldn't think of anything else,
and I want to know what kind of content you
guys consume.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
Uh, this is strictly podcast. This is anything I can
show movies.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
I think that this is probably everything outside of TV
and movies. I think it's podcast and YouTube in that
style of thing. If that's okay, worse for me?

Speaker 4 (48:34):
What's the draft order?

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Okay, it'll be drew myself and then you.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
Oh you, of course you go before me.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
All right, Well, I think I got to go for
the jugular right here, because there is a form of
content that is unmissible, and it's foolish. Baseball videos unmissible
grade a content no matter what the topic, fat stuff.
I feel very content with that pick.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Nate to you, it's very good. Hold, let me write
that down.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Oh I can, I can write it while you're talking.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
I am going to say, you want to know who
I love on the football side. I like Brett Coleman.
I don't know if either you guys have ever watched him.
All right, empty crowd, someone at home knows him talking
about He's a ball knower, breaks down the tape, tells
me all the things I need to know about football.
And I thought that someone was gonna know who that was.

(49:31):
So that was a bad pick.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
I'm gonna have plenty of those, and I don't feel bad.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
You guys don't even spell his name, right.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
All right.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
With my first of three picks, I'm going with the
man the myth legend, Bill Simmons. I'm in on everything
Bill Simmons does I I of like I took notes
on the Ringer. He kind of Bill Simmons kind of poudy.
We talked about it last week. You know, Ryan Rossella
left him for his arch rival in Barstool. So yeah,

(50:02):
Bill Simmons. I love the Bill Simmons podcast. All right,
let's go on to number two. What is do I
want to try? And I do not watch any of
this stuff YouTube is recommending to me. Jace Daniel, the
guy who like made like all like twenty million dollars
never playing an NFL snap shout out to him. Okay,

(50:24):
I love cooking videos, and there might be no one
I love more than Mattie Matheson. He is an all
time like vibes guy. I love the way he cooks.
I love the energy that he provides. He was in
the Bear. Yeah so Mattie Matheson. I love his cooking videos.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
We don't really do polls anymore, so I'm just gonna
fire off whatever I actually really like. And I'm gonna
say there's a podcast us too, more than anything else.
It's called Son of a Boy Dad. It is three
comedians who do a podcast together, and I think it's
hilarious because they talk about nothing and everything and that's
just my favorite podcast listen to. Don't expect an in

(51:04):
or oute, but.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
It sounds good. I mean, they kind of that vibe
kind of reminds.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Me of us, so it's funny.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
I'll do a podcast I like it in video form.
Go figure drew the Eternal Millennial with his YouTube obsession.
I'm gonna go with OSW review. This is old school
wrestling review podcasts. These guys are three Irish fellas who
are absolutely drop dead hilarious funny. They've been friends for
years and they essentially do what's on your mind while

(51:34):
watching an old wrestling show, and they do like a
series of stories, like a series of shows that portray
a whole storyline, and it is gut bustingly funny. If
you are into wrestling in any regard and you've never,
for whatever reason, seen this, take this and run with it.
The other one I'll suggest is from my stint on TikTok.

(51:54):
Now I told you guys, I deleted TikTok because I
just I lost my life. I was obsessed and watched
it like this is gonna sound terrible.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
I watched it while I.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Was driving, even like i'd be driving the old and
watch watching TikTok it was it was terrible. Uh, But
I found this guy and he's on YouTube now, which,
of course again bulonil Drew roll for sandwich uh reese.
I'm not sure if you've heard of him, because I
know you like cooking, Nate, I'm not sure about you either,
But essentially he makes his lunch using D and D
so like he rolls a D six for the bread type,

(52:23):
rolls a D eight for the meat type and cheese,
and he's he's ridiculous, but like and some of the
things that he makes, I don't know, Like I never considered,
like what how would apples taste on a sandwich until
I watch this guy, And man, it's great, Like how
would like a pepper jelly taste? It's fabulous with like
meat and cheese. It's it's wonderful. It's just very very
clever and I love it. You guys should check it out.

(52:43):
Nick to you for one.

Speaker 4 (52:44):
My friend.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
I really like. This guy's name is Ryan Mitchell. He
videos himself climbing mountains. I have a weird obsession with
like mountain climbing, and he like videoed himself like climbing Everest,
but also like small mountains like he did rainy Air,
which is like in my backyard disupposedly in Washington. So yeah,
I sometimes I just go like, if I'm doing like

(53:08):
draft reports or something, I'll just be watching like mountain
climbing videos in the background doing like super technical like
ice picking, and I'm just like, maybe some day I'll
do that.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
I could buy you this mountain plider.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
I also love outdoor videos, and I'm gonna go with
the man, the myth, the legend, the guy who would
bake bread in regard I forgot what this YouTube channel
is called. If I feel so dumb, guys probably know
who it is. He had to stop stop putting his
kids at his videos where it's just a side note
of five kids, and I ever become a YouTuber, I'll
never put my kids in my videos. I just I'm
veheblely against it. Kids don't have the ability to consent

(53:42):
to being in it. I forget their name. But if
that's the case, then I will go. If I can't
remember the name, I'll think of it for my I
tu backback picks. I'm not doing a very good job of.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Talking about the outdoor boys.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
The outdoor boys. There we go I typedal the adventure Boys,
and that was not who I was. That was not
who came up the Outdoor Boys. I love him. I
love that family. I love the dad. He's great. And
then Andrew take Homes joking, I have not please Joe Rogan, Nomes, Cake,
Andrew Huberman. No, I don't believe in pseudo science. Okay,

(54:15):
my last pick. I want people to think I have
good taste is my problem because I have a lot
of you know, I like I like the Ringer, I
like Bill Simmons. This is such a bad Well what
else do I really like? I love backpacking content. I
love hiking content. I wish we did TV shows because
TV shows I would have just want to put American
dad in here. Let's go to my YouTube real quick

(54:37):
because that'll help spring. I just love food. There's this
guy in Japan who goes around Japan Eats. He's one
of my favorites. He's on TikTok and Instagram. Uh so
that's who I'm gonna go with. Japan Eats. Most of
my video, most of my YouTube is hiking, cooking, or
eat restaurants, and he just goes into He has a
series where he goes through this one shopping mall in Japan,

(54:58):
and he gives everything a tear base don food only
and some of it's he says, it rates it from
incredible to an edible. I love Japan eats.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
I'm gonna go Matt and Shane's secret pos so good,
so funny. They're the funniest people ever. Illiston to him
before you go to sleep.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
He started laughing, before you go to sleep?

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Oh yeah, Oh, there's so many guys. I feel really
really stuck here. I'm gonna go back to YouTube because
that's what you know.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Uh oh gosh, I've already done a baseball one. I'll
do I'll give a shout out to tell a good lord.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Jay Rose J Rose twelve.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
So J Rose twelve. Essentially, guys, he plays Red Version,
Blue Version using one Pokemon. Through the entire game, he
acts in a Pokemon and then tries to beat the
game with that Pokemon exclusively their moves against all the
different I can't use any other Pokemon, and so it's
like his strategies and how to do it, and it's.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
The perfect thing. It's the perfect thing to put on.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
It does sound like Greece, perfect thing to put on
like in the shower where you just kind of want
to have something like going and not really you don't
have to hyper pay attention like you said with the
man of his ice picking kind of technical work.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
It's perfect for that as well.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
Can I tell you guys something. I have a pair
of air pods that is just shower AirPods. I like
to listen to stuff in the shower I'm about. I
don't like to be alone with my thoughts. It's it's
a scary place.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Just play it out loud on the speaker, buddy.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
Because I don't want to play it for other people.
Some people might be sleeping when Danielle might be sleeping.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
How many people do.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Sends? Live with everybody? Everybody about you guys.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
So it's my favorite part about living alone is I
can literally do whatever I want and no one can
say anything.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
Do you want to do some Ulco rands before we
sign out of this podcast?

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Yeah? Pardon my take? Is probably one of my podcasts.

Speaker 4 (56:50):
Future Future Canoe. That's he's one of my favorites. He's
a great he he rates things and then if it's yummy,
he plays a Justin Bieber yummy song Afterwards, it's fantastic.
I love any Anthony Bourdain clip. I think he is
the most influential person in TV, his food, TV history.
If I say TV history, that's fucking wild than so.

(57:13):
Uh yeah, I'm a big food person. I don't like
Joshua Weissman though he's kind of sucks. I hate his man, but.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
I've never missed the Lance Brosdowski video.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
That's a very good one.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
Marcus Brownlee, he's fantastic. I love all of his tech reviews.
He does it such an interesting and fun way.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
I watched that Grandpa or No, the dad and son
who listened to albums together. Sometimes it's like a kid
showing his dad like new albums. It's always really funny.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Will you link me to one of those? That sounds great?

Speaker 1 (57:46):
What it's called.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
Me?

Speaker 3 (57:49):
That sounds great?

Speaker 4 (57:49):
If he does a future episode, let me know.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
Oh yeah, I probably have really quick some also rans.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
I really love every Blitzball battle from the John Warehouse games.
I know you guys aren't the biggest fans of them,
but I love obsessing over those tournaments New Legacy play
Wrestling video games, and they're all very, very dumb, and
they fit my humor really well, binging with Babbish cooks
food from television shows.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
He's very good.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
I love try guys without a recipe as well. So
it's just dudes like us again, just dufiss who go
into a kitchen and are told to cook something without
having the recipe to do it. And some of them
can cook and others are.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
Not able.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
And then the final little bit of content I want
to shout out is something I lovingly call mal talk.
When we're in bed, I like to just have Mallory
play her likes on TikTok because they're often very, very
dumb and very funny.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
So there's this new TikTok account that I've become obsessed with,
and they sing about how things work. I learned how
gas stations work like that that's not the physical like
you know, you go in and you pay for things,
but no, like how like when you pump gas, like
the whole mechanic and everything behind it. Because I always wondered.
I was like, I was like, I know how they
get it down there, right, I'm not stupid, but how

(59:01):
does how does how does how does it know when
to stop? Like you know, like when you're filling up
your gas and they go that, oh, I went the
entire I watched an entire thing on that and and
she sings it in like this really interesting way. All
the plug it at sometimes one of my favorite things.
That's bit on TikTok. And I've watched like all her
videos last night.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Well I think that's going to do it for us then.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Yeah, uh, socials are now they don't where to find
us at this point.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
This is what episode thirty to thirty three. If you
don't know where to find us, that's on you watching.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
Thanks in the description below, Dogs.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
The all Grandpa Draft Day, Thank you guys so much
for watching, and we will see you on Friday.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
Hecky, little wacky little
