thing that is simultaneously going on during the Rob Debbil Show.
(02:48):
We've got a no hitter right now in Toronto, and
this kid, Boden Francis, who knows who the hell Boden
Francis was until today, and he has now gone through
through eight scoreless no hits against the Mets. Still one zero, Kurt,
it's going on on above my head, one zero right now.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I think we're one.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Down, bottom eight one down now one O's two outs,
two outs, two outs, two strikes on Winker. Oh you're behind,
you're behind behind, Yeah, you're behind us? Oh really, yeah, Winker,
I hate to break.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It to you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
He's about to die like a no. He's about to
pop one up. So that inning that you're watching, Dibbs
should have took one pitch less. The umpire doesn't know
what he's looking at, had to pitch another pitch, gets
Winker to fly out, and we're going to the ninth
inning and he's got one oh seven on the pitch.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Ket so you could leave him in there, give him a.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Show, giving him a shot. So we'll shoot this no
hitter as it happens.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, because he only threw five pitches in that inning,
so that's a hell of an inning for Yeah, yeah,
that's that's a that's what you're looking for, a quick inning.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So, because it's a baseball Wednesday and we've been talking
so much bait, we got this no hitter going on.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The mascot Challenge for MLB.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Mascots eight six oh five two two threty seven to
seven six, John, Kurt, they're working the phones right now
for town Fair Boy George. Tickets on the line, Dibbs,
do you have your game board? We always got to do. Okay,
got it?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I have to Studio forty nine. Has it look in.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The face of the computer and make sure it was
you to get your identity right it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Did, Yes, recognize me. I shaved off the beard.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
So so Dibbs has got a mascot name. This is
not like what is the mascot? This is his or
hers actual name. These mascots all represent a Major League
Baseball team. You guess the team they represent and you
get your choice of pign up already, Kurt, Kurt, who's first?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Joe Joe? What is up?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Joe Hill?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Are you you're doing well?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
We're doing well. Are you a Mets fan at all?
Baseball fan at all.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Joe, Baseball, the love the Red Sox. Oh loves the
Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Maybe we have a Red Sox clue in here some where,
I don't know, all right, Joe Dibbs has got a
name of a mascot in Major League Baseball. You guess
the team that person or I don't even know if
it's a person. It might be just an animal or
something from outer space. Whatever that thing represents. You guess
the right team. You get some tickets. Are you rady, Joe?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'll try, all right, Joe. The first mascot challenges fred
Bird multiple.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I would I would guess if the red Bird the Cardinals?
Though the Cardinals.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, he doesn't even needle choice that, Joe. Yes, you
are correct, friend, red Bird represents not the Orioles, not
the Blue Jays, the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
All right. I didn't even get to say the multiple
choice Cardinals, Oriols, blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Excellent job, Joe. What would you like boyd George? Or
would you want to go the four.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Town Fair Fair?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Excellent? Stay on hold, Joe, hook you up for Town
Fair now. Red Bird. I've known of fred Bird, I've
seen him walking around. Not a great I'm not the
greatest mascot now was I haven't dug into this at
all on this mascot. I understand that red is in
the name Fred, and I think that's the reason.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
But was there like a Fred, was there a cardinal?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Fred had different people in it, like like the you
know Philly fanatic. You know, the original guy was the
best mascot. He was hysterical and all the different like
thing stunts he did. When I was there from what
eighty eight to ninety five? The fred Bird guy changed
a couple of times, but every one of them really
(06:42):
didn't do a whole lot. They weren't allowed to do
a whole lot, you know, because Saint Louis is kind
of eh, you.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Know, I agree, So I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
That's exactly how I'd explained Saint Louis to people.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Ye kind of like man bride drunk dips.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Bride, want to even start that room or no, just
did a little dance in but didn't you know, you know,
kissed a few babies and stuff. But was one of
the lamest mascots out there. Get it together, fred Bird.
Speaker 3 (07:11):

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right? Will Stomper Stopper? Is that Rangers A's or Giants?
Speaker 1 (07:39):

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I am sorry, We'll try back. This is actually the
Oakland a elephant. It's an elephant. Now, as the story goes, who's.
Speaker 2 (07:53):

Speaker 3 (07:55):
He brings him across the country Philadelpha or Kansas City?
Thank you, Kansas City to Oakland? And what this is
going to be a big circus.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's a circus.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So that's why you put the elephant, and they'll have
the elephant on their sleeve. I have never seen Stomper.
I did not know this thing existed until today. You
have seen any Now let me ask you this. Does
Stomper walk on two feet? Or is this a two person?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's cool, it's a cool it's a cool mascot. The
kids aren't freaked out by it, Yes, kids doing Yeah,
the kids that kids kid friendly.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
All right, we'll try back.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm sorry and didn't get Stomper, right, all right, next one, Kurt.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Who we got Bobby? Bobby? What is that? Bobby doing well?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Got a mascot name for you, the name of the
actual mascot. He tell us the team it represents, and
we got some tickets for you. Bobby, wait for the
multiple choice?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Are you racer?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I am all right, Bobby screech screech? Is it a Nationals,
b Giant, ced diamond Back?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So I'm probably from Springfield and we have the Thunderbird.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
And that's that's their mascot. Screech?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Who give me the three?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Again? Nationals, Giants, Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I gotta think Nationals. Maybe it's an eagle. Yeah, Bobby
is a smartest man alive.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You are so right, Bobby, be correct.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Not only is it the Nationals, it's a bald eagle
and that's the sound he makes. I guess it's screech.
Awesome job, and now you gave us some information.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Kurt.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're a Thunderbird fan, do you know? Screech? Yeah? All right,
thanks for sharing.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Eventually we're not it all right, Bobby, what would you
like for Town Fair.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You want to go to Boy George. Where's boy George
Mohegan's Son. Yeah, let's go. Excellent, We're probably gonna see
Bobby there. Bobby's gonna go see Boy George. Culture Club,
ohgan Son.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Nationals have Screech running around, and I know Dibbs is
a part of that franchise for a little bit. You
ever run into Screech.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Screech was a good mascot, a good mascot.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't even know this dude. Is this like a
hidden thing? He comes out on.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Tuesday, was a bald eagle and he had a nice outfit.
Did some weird stuff after games that I just won't
talk about. But yeah, during the game, he.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Was drinking with Fred Bell.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
See Screech and Fred Bird in the bullpen sharing brew dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
This mascot life sucks a couple of shit. Appreciate us.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I wish we were in the American League like Stomper
living large Stumper. Congratulations Bobby, He's going to Boy George.
Go see him at mohegan Son.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Excellent.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
We do have some more Boy George if we needed
we needed today. Jenna promo Darling told us that just
before the show, need any extra boy, George, she has
some for us, all right eight six two two three
seven seventy six.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Who's next? Kurt Sean too, Sean as well? What is up? Sean?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Doing well? Doing great? Great to see it not too
long ago. Hope things are great for you. We've got
a mascot name sir. If you get it right, tell
us the team this mascot represents. We got some tickets
for you, Sean. Multiple choice?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Are you Ray, sir?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Let's do it? Thats Sean Blooper? Is it a Yankees
be Braves? See Rangers?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I think maybe the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Go dry back.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Here's one thing, you know. Kurt Sean does not look
up answers. He's just thinking really hard.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
We were wondering. Is Sean googling right now? And he
got it wrong.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Either he's a bad googler or he just does not
know the answer. And I think the latter Rangers is wrong.
I did not know this thing existed until today. I
have never seen Blooper until I saw a picture of
him in a Braves uniform.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Today, you know Blooper, I do it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's a scary mascot.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's like humanoid it's like it's like humans in but
he's got weird ears that pop out in the side though.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I mean that bloopers are mistakes.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, you don't exactly bloopers running around your ballpark.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
He's a fuzzy creature with extendable ears.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I would say, like a humanoid Philly fanatic, like Philly
Finag's Green has fuzz like imagine him having human skin.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's blooper. Sorry, what's going on makes dims crazy?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It makes crazy? No, it's I was gonna say, it
looks like they stole orbit from the astros core and
he annoyed me. And so this mascot, I mean, yeah,
he's a little bit more kid friendly, but still weird
with the ears and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Time out, Time out from the game show. We've got
an update in the baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is it over?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Chad Green comes out and takes over for Boden.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Francis Lindor got a hit lead off in the ninth.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's a hitter, but we got a type all game.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Let's gout mess, Let's gout mess.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
No, Chad Green came in. He lost the no hitter,
So Francis lost the no hitter. They didn't want him
to get the l right right, So wow, okay, so
let's give it up.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So Francis is in there, lead off home run from
Lindor one ball game, chant, Oh my god, what a
turn of events. That's baseball, Susan Lindor homer right off
of him, and.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Glacis is in the scoring position. All right, we're looking
for one more game. We're back to the game.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The game got one more.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Contestant, and he is sick of us talking about this
stupid no hitter. Sorry, dog, he wants to get in
on this. We apologize. Sorry, Doug, Doug, how's it going?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Hey, guys, how you doing doing well?
Speaker 3 (14:09):

Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's his friend. You didn't know that curtain.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Now even Bob Joyce had to think a little bit,
but he did know as a Sox fan.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Isn't that Wally's girlfriend? I think that's how we said it.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yes, Tessie is running around as the Green Monster, the
female Green Monster.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
She's got blonde pigtails. She's adorable. She is adorable kids lover.
Wally's kind of the freaky one that scares children.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Congratulations, Bobby, Congratulations Joe. Try back tomorrow during the Rob
Dibble Show, and you can win tickets for the four
Down Fair as well.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
By the way, not girlfriend sister, oh sister, Oh, they're related.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
This is like a white stripe situation. It's a definite
white stripe situation. The whole time we thought they were
going out.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Now, yeah, wow, they're a little too close.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Monster Life man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Maybe there's different rules in mascot and Monster Life.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So mister Met and missus Met, they're not brother sister.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
They're divorced. This is seeing mister Red.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Mister red legs.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, mister Red kind of likes missus Mett.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
She's a mustache fan.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's that's the.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
She likes the mus dad.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Remember mister Mett got fired for the middle fan.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Oh that was his demise. As soon as that happened,
and we caught missus met.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
With mister Reduno. You're out, mister red And.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
She's got standards. She's up to hers, So up yours.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
What's going on this game, kerk, that's a great game,
by the way, nobody out.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Let's do this metts. Mett's got a chance to take
the lead here. Talk about a bummer of a day.
If you went to this game as a Toronto Blue
Jays fan, all of a sudden, you're calling everybody you know,
and so.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Because there's a lot of empty set.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
There's plenty of seats available, and then you're gonna have
to call that buddy back. Look, I don't know, that's
why was shocked to shoot.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I mean, they're having an off year, but man, Lindor,
what a huge tib not only rules hitter, ruins the
shutout right, but now gives them an opportunity to win
the ballgame for them. Huge for them.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And this is why I like this team is this
team has had games like this all season long. Come
back fashion, never say die got see and.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah, guess who's up.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
OMG, dude, this guy has some kind of magic going
on this year.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's a glaciest guy.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
If you're just new to the story, I think this
is the coolest thing in all of baseball. But this guy,
he wasn't getting it done on the baseball field. And
as a backup plan, he's like, you know what, maybe
I'll be a Puerto Rican heart throb sensation on the microphone.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
You got it? Oh it sounds like it.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, get ready for it because they're gonna be pumping
it in Toronto tonight, you know, like Mets call.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I'm like, hey, man, you're busy. Oh for baseball? All right?
I got my glove comes back? Nothing but walk offs
out of this guy. And then we play the song
and throw my microphone.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Talk about a triple threat that's a six tool player
and only three tools mean for baseball?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
This guy sixth tools.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
One of my favorite second basemen right he's on second
second base, one of my favorite second base but he can.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Play short too. He's a hell of it feeling.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I love this song. I think this all the time
in the studio. You guys do, but I don't know
the other words. I know that, Oh my god part
and then I kind of mumble the rest.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
It's kind of a catchy tu it's a catchy tune, dude,
it's a catchy tune. Come on, man, the Polar Bear
is up with the basses loaded.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
If not now win.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
When no oust ninth inning?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Great game.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Former Yankee Chad Green.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of former Yankees running around the
league that the Yankees could really really use here in
the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Chad's definitely one of them. That guy gave them some
great years.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, well we got for you Yankee fans. Luis giel
Is on the heat tonight and he's looked great, especially
coming back. That start in Chicago was money. That was
a one hit, one hitter, beauty. So you know, you've
been saying this all season long. If these guys can
make it through seven like a little Bowden Francis today,
(19:28):
you're really helping out the.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Team most definitely. And it's a shame that guy's got
no decision for his work. But again, if you look
at the overall numbers, didn't punch out a bunch of
guys starting one one yeah, yeah, eight innings, one hit,
one run. All the indoor on that last top of
the ninth one hundred and eleven pitches, but only sixty
(19:50):
eight for strikes, and as I said, sixteen first pitch
strikes out of twenty eight hitters, so a little bit
better than fifty percent. Man, young pitchers, man, you gotta
get first pitch striking there like seven, eight, eight times
out of ten.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, got a tack amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
We haven't talked about Yamamoto who came back and uh,
even though your cup stirs got a hold of him
a little bit, but he still is fantastic, Like he
didn't look bad.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Listen for that guy. You're getting him ready for the
the stretch, but you're really getting him ready for the postseason.
I mean that's that's why you paid this guy so
much money. But that guy is money and he got
like half the money to sign with the Cubs. So
I'm a big uh fan.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
The Polar Bear put one deep enough runner tags Mets
take the lead to.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
One in the ninth eight. Oh my good, oh.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, I love that song.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah, six to three was the final last Nightmaga. I
think that's his sixteenth win, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
He's up there, man, he's out thirteen and three. But
you got to remember.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
He's taking like four or five weeks off this season,
so he's missed some starts.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But again the seven innings, seven innings, three earned, stayed
in there. Ninety pitches Yamamoto four innings, eight punch outs.
He looks sharp, but they pulled him because he must
have been on a pitch limit at sixty.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
That's what I tell people in like, I'm getting a
lot of who do you think's going to win the
World Series in the last couple of weeks And the
one thing, you know, it feels like I'm saying it
since two thousand and six, maybe before that, whoever's got
the best starting pitching, whoever's got the best starting pitching
at the time.

line for a great game that we like to call

thing that is simultaneously going on during the Rob Debbil Show.
(02:48):
We've got a no hitter right now in Toronto, and
this kid, Boden Francis, who knows who the hell Boden
Francis was until today, and he has now gone through
through eight scoreless no hits against the Mets. Still one zero, Kurt,
it's going on on above my head, one zero right now.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I think we're one.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Down, bottom eight one down now one O's two outs,
two outs, two outs, two strikes on Winker. Oh you're behind,
you're behind behind, Yeah, you're behind us? Oh really, yeah, Winker,
I hate to break.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It to you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
He's about to die like a no. He's about to
pop one up. So that inning that you're watching, Dibbs
should have took one pitch less. The umpire doesn't know
what he's looking at, had to pitch another pitch, gets
Winker to fly out, and we're going to the ninth
inning and he's got one oh seven on the pitch.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Ket so you could leave him in there, give him a.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Show, giving him a shot. So we'll shoot this no
hitter as it happens.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, because he only threw five pitches in that inning,
so that's a hell of an inning for Yeah, yeah,
that's that's a that's what you're looking for, a quick inning.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So, because it's a baseball Wednesday and we've been talking
so much bait, we got this no hitter going on.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The mascot Challenge for MLB.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Mascots eight six oh five two two threty seven to
seven six, John, Kurt, they're working the phones right now
for town Fair Boy George. Tickets on the line, Dibbs,
do you have your game board? We always got to do. Okay,
got it?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I have to Studio forty nine. Has it look in.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The face of the computer and make sure it was
you to get your identity right it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Did, Yes, recognize me. I shaved off the beard.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
So so Dibbs has got a mascot name. This is
not like what is the mascot? This is his or
hers actual name. These mascots all represent a Major League
Baseball team. You guess the team they represent and you
get your choice of pign up already, Kurt, Kurt, who's first?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Joe Joe? What is up?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Joe Hill?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Are you you're doing well?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
We're doing well. Are you a Mets fan at all?
Baseball fan at all.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Joe, Baseball, the love the Red Sox. Oh loves the
Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Maybe we have a Red Sox clue in here some where,
I don't know, all right, Joe Dibbs has got a
name of a mascot in Major League Baseball. You guess
the team that person or I don't even know if
it's a person. It might be just an animal or
something from outer space. Whatever that thing represents. You guess
the right team. You get some tickets. Are you rady, Joe?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'll try, all right, Joe. The first mascot challenges fred
Bird multiple.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I would I would guess if the red Bird the Cardinals?
Though the Cardinals.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, he doesn't even needle choice that, Joe. Yes, you
are correct, friend, red Bird represents not the Orioles, not
the Blue Jays, the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
All right. I didn't even get to say the multiple
choice Cardinals, Oriols, blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Excellent job, Joe. What would you like boyd George? Or
would you want to go the four.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Town Fair Fair?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Excellent? Stay on hold, Joe, hook you up for Town
Fair now. Red Bird. I've known of fred Bird, I've
seen him walking around. Not a great I'm not the
greatest mascot now was I haven't dug into this at
all on this mascot. I understand that red is in
the name Fred, and I think that's the reason.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
But was there like a Fred, was there a cardinal?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Fred had different people in it, like like the you
know Philly fanatic. You know, the original guy was the
best mascot. He was hysterical and all the different like
thing stunts he did. When I was there from what
eighty eight to ninety five? The fred Bird guy changed
a couple of times, but every one of them really
(06:42):
didn't do a whole lot. They weren't allowed to do
a whole lot, you know, because Saint Louis is kind
of eh, you.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Know, I agree, So I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
That's exactly how I'd explained Saint Louis to people.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Ye kind of like man bride drunk dips.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Bride, want to even start that room or no, just
did a little dance in but didn't you know, you know,
kissed a few babies and stuff. But was one of
the lamest mascots out there. Get it together, fred Bird.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Congratulations, Joe, He's going the fore Town Fair. Who's next?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Kurt will Well? What is up.
Speaker 1 (07:15):

Are you racer?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right? Will Stomper Stopper? Is that Rangers A's or Giants?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I'm gonna take a guess to say maybe the giants.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I am sorry, We'll try back. This is actually the
Oakland a elephant. It's an elephant. Now, as the story goes, who's.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
The owner that Charlie Finley?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
He brings him across the country Philadelpha or Kansas City?
Thank you, Kansas City to Oakland? And what this is
going to be a big circus.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's a circus.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So that's why you put the elephant, and they'll have
the elephant on their sleeve. I have never seen Stomper.
I did not know this thing existed until today. You
have seen any Now let me ask you this. Does
Stomper walk on two feet? Or is this a two person?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's cool, it's a cool it's a cool mascot. The
kids aren't freaked out by it, Yes, kids doing Yeah,
the kids that kids kid friendly.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
All right, we'll try back.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm sorry and didn't get Stomper, right, all right, next one, Kurt.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Who we got Bobby? Bobby? What is that? Bobby doing well?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Got a mascot name for you, the name of the
actual mascot. He tell us the team it represents, and
we got some tickets for you. Bobby, wait for the
multiple choice?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Are you racer?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I am all right, Bobby screech screech? Is it a Nationals,
b Giant, ced diamond Back?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So I'm probably from Springfield and we have the Thunderbird.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
And that's that's their mascot. Screech?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Who give me the three?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Again? Nationals, Giants, Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I gotta think Nationals. Maybe it's an eagle. Yeah, Bobby
is a smartest man alive.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You are so right, Bobby, be correct.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Not only is it the Nationals, it's a bald eagle
and that's the sound he makes. I guess it's screech.
Awesome job, and now you gave us some information.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Kurt.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're a Thunderbird fan, do you know? Screech? Yeah? All right,
thanks for sharing.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Eventually we're not it all right, Bobby, what would you
like for Town Fair.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You want to go to Boy George. Where's boy George
Mohegan's Son. Yeah, let's go. Excellent, We're probably gonna see
Bobby there. Bobby's gonna go see Boy George. Culture Club,
ohgan Son.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Nationals have Screech running around, and I know Dibbs is
a part of that franchise for a little bit. You
ever run into Screech.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Screech was a good mascot, a good mascot.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't even know this dude. Is this like a
hidden thing? He comes out on.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Tuesday, was a bald eagle and he had a nice outfit.
Did some weird stuff after games that I just won't
talk about. But yeah, during the game, he.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Was drinking with Fred Bell.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
See Screech and Fred Bird in the bullpen sharing brew dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
This mascot life sucks a couple of shit. Appreciate us.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I wish we were in the American League like Stomper
living large Stumper. Congratulations Bobby, He's going to Boy George.
Go see him at mohegan Son.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Excellent.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
We do have some more Boy George if we needed
we needed today. Jenna promo Darling told us that just
before the show, need any extra boy, George, she has
some for us, all right eight six two two three
seven seventy six.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Who's next? Kurt Sean too, Sean as well? What is up? Sean?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Doing well? Doing great? Great to see it not too
long ago. Hope things are great for you. We've got
a mascot name sir. If you get it right, tell
us the team this mascot represents. We got some tickets
for you, Sean. Multiple choice?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Are you Ray, sir?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Let's do it? Thats Sean Blooper? Is it a Yankees
be Braves? See Rangers?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I think maybe the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Go dry back.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Here's one thing, you know. Kurt Sean does not look
up answers. He's just thinking really hard.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
We were wondering. Is Sean googling right now? And he
got it wrong.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Either he's a bad googler or he just does not
know the answer. And I think the latter Rangers is wrong.
I did not know this thing existed until today. I
have never seen Blooper until I saw a picture of
him in a Braves uniform.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Today, you know Blooper, I do it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's a scary mascot.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's like humanoid it's like it's like humans in but
he's got weird ears that pop out in the side though.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I mean that bloopers are mistakes.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, you don't exactly bloopers running around your ballpark.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
He's a fuzzy creature with extendable ears.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I would say, like a humanoid Philly fanatic, like Philly
Finag's Green has fuzz like imagine him having human skin.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's blooper. Sorry, what's going on makes dims crazy?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It makes crazy? No, it's I was gonna say, it
looks like they stole orbit from the astros core and
he annoyed me. And so this mascot, I mean, yeah,
he's a little bit more kid friendly, but still weird
with the ears and stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Time out, Time out from the game show. We've got
an update in the baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is it over?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Chad Green comes out and takes over for Boden.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Francis Lindor got a hit lead off in the ninth.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's a hitter, but we got a type all game.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Let's gout mess, Let's gout mess.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
No, Chad Green came in. He lost the no hitter,
So Francis lost the no hitter. They didn't want him
to get the l right right, So wow, okay, so
let's give it up.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So Francis is in there, lead off home run from
Lindor one ball game, chant, Oh my god, what a
turn of events. That's baseball, Susan Lindor homer right off
of him, and.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Glacis is in the scoring position. All right, we're looking
for one more game. We're back to the game.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The game got one more.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Contestant, and he is sick of us talking about this
stupid no hitter. Sorry, dog, he wants to get in
on this. We apologize. Sorry, Doug, Doug, how's it going?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Hey, guys, how you doing doing well?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Hopefully you get this one right. Dibbs has got a
mascot name for you from Major League Baseball. You guess
the team this mascot represents, and we got tickets for you, Doug.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Are you ready? Doug?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Multiple choice? All ready?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Let's go, all right, Doug. Tessie Tessie Socks, Giants Diamondbacks,
t E s s I E. The answers again, Red Sox, Giants, Diamondbacks.

Let's go Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Must be a Yankees fan, Wally the mascot of his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's his friend. You didn't know that curtain.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Now even Bob Joyce had to think a little bit,
but he did know as a Sox fan.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Isn't that Wally's girlfriend? I think that's how we said it.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yes, Tessie is running around as the Green Monster, the
female Green Monster.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
She's got blonde pigtails. She's adorable. She is adorable kids lover.
Wally's kind of the freaky one that scares children.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Congratulations, Bobby, Congratulations Joe. Try back tomorrow during the Rob
Dibble Show, and you can win tickets for the four
Down Fair as well.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
By the way, not girlfriend sister, oh sister, Oh, they're related.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
This is like a white stripe situation. It's a definite
white stripe situation. The whole time we thought they were
going out.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Now, yeah, wow, they're a little too close.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Monster Life man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Maybe there's different rules in mascot and Monster Life.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So mister Met and missus Met, they're not brother sister.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
They're divorced. This is seeing mister Red.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Mister red legs.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, mister Red kind of likes missus Mett.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
She's a mustache fan.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's that's the.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
She likes the mus dad.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Remember mister Mett got fired for the middle fan.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Oh that was his demise. As soon as that happened,
and we caught missus met.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
With mister Reduno. You're out, mister red And.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
She's got standards. She's up to hers, So up yours.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
What's going on this game, kerk, that's a great game,
by the way, nobody out.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Let's do this metts. Mett's got a chance to take
the lead here. Talk about a bummer of a day.
If you went to this game as a Toronto Blue
Jays fan, all of a sudden, you're calling everybody you know,
and so.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Because there's a lot of empty set.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
There's plenty of seats available, and then you're gonna have
to call that buddy back. Look, I don't know, that's
why was shocked to shoot.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I mean, they're having an off year, but man, Lindor,
what a huge tib not only rules hitter, ruins the
shutout right, but now gives them an opportunity to win
the ballgame for them. Huge for them.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And this is why I like this team is this
team has had games like this all season long. Come
back fashion, never say die got see and.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah, guess who's up.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
OMG, dude, this guy has some kind of magic going
on this year.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's a glaciest guy.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
If you're just new to the story, I think this
is the coolest thing in all of baseball. But this guy,
he wasn't getting it done on the baseball field. And
as a backup plan, he's like, you know what, maybe
I'll be a Puerto Rican heart throb sensation on the microphone.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
You got it? Oh it sounds like it.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, get ready for it because they're gonna be pumping
it in Toronto tonight, you know, like Mets call.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I'm like, hey, man, you're busy. Oh for baseball? All right?
I got my glove comes back? Nothing but walk offs
out of this guy. And then we play the song
and throw my microphone.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Talk about a triple threat that's a six tool player
and only three tools mean for baseball?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
This guy sixth tools.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
One of my favorite second basemen right he's on second
second base, one of my favorite second base but he can.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Play short too. He's a hell of it feeling.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I love this song. I think this all the time
in the studio. You guys do, but I don't know
the other words. I know that, Oh my god part
and then I kind of mumble the rest.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
It's kind of a catchy tu it's a catchy tune, dude,
it's a catchy tune. Come on, man, the Polar Bear
is up with the basses loaded.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
If not now win.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
When no oust ninth inning?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Great game.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Former Yankee Chad Green.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of former Yankees running around the
league that the Yankees could really really use here in
the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Chad's definitely one of them. That guy gave them some
great years.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, well we got for you Yankee fans. Luis giel
Is on the heat tonight and he's looked great, especially
coming back. That start in Chicago was money. That was
a one hit, one hitter, beauty. So you know, you've
been saying this all season long. If these guys can
make it through seven like a little Bowden Francis today,
(19:28):
you're really helping out the.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Team most definitely. And it's a shame that guy's got
no decision for his work. But again, if you look
at the overall numbers, didn't punch out a bunch of
guys starting one one yeah, yeah, eight innings, one hit,
one run. All the indoor on that last top of
the ninth one hundred and eleven pitches, but only sixty
(19:50):
eight for strikes, and as I said, sixteen first pitch
strikes out of twenty eight hitters, so a little bit
better than fifty percent. Man, young pitchers, man, you gotta
get first pitch striking there like seven, eight, eight times
out of ten.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, got a tack amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
We haven't talked about Yamamoto who came back and uh,
even though your cup stirs got a hold of him
a little bit, but he still is fantastic, Like he
didn't look bad.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Listen for that guy. You're getting him ready for the
the stretch, but you're really getting him ready for the postseason.
I mean that's that's why you paid this guy so
much money. But that guy is money and he got
like half the money to sign with the Cubs. So
I'm a big uh fan.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
The Polar Bear put one deep enough runner tags Mets
take the lead to.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
One in the ninth eight. Oh my good, oh.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, I love that song.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah, six to three was the final last Nightmaga. I
think that's his sixteenth win, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
He's up there, man, he's out thirteen and three. But
you got to remember.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
He's taking like four or five weeks off this season,
so he's missed some starts.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But again the seven innings, seven innings, three earned, stayed
in there. Ninety pitches Yamamoto four innings, eight punch outs.
He looks sharp, but they pulled him because he must
have been on a pitch limit at sixty.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
That's what I tell people in like, I'm getting a
lot of who do you think's going to win the
World Series in the last couple of weeks And the
one thing, you know, it feels like I'm saying it
since two thousand and six, maybe before that, whoever's got
the best starting pitching, whoever's got the best starting pitching
at the time.
