or a microphone. Down here in the dugout of Dodger
Stadium is the one and only Mookie Bets. A class
act and a great guy. We know you're busy today, Mookie.
Thanks for doing it and taking time out for the listeners.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Of course, thanks thanks for having me. That's a great intro.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
I mean, I bet I do a lot better. Usually
I don't often get down here into the dugout, and
I'll get here, I don't feel like I belong, so
I could have done better. Next time we'll do better.
But just tell us a little bit about doing this
all these years, being here in La where you've been
embraced and had so much success, and uh, you know,
kind of looking back, what's it been like. I mean,
(02:03):
we remember the day you signed. We were scrambling and
freaking out and screaming on the radio. What's it been
like since then? It feels like this has been about
as good as it could have worked out.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Yeah, it's been. It's been.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
You know, I kind of have a dream come true,
you know, being from Nashville and then going over to Boston.
You know, I was in a small I mean, it's
Boston's obviously a big, small city, right, yeah, but it's
not La.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
It's not La, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
And I remember telling my wife, you know, when I
found out that I was going to get traded, they
were like, you know, we're probably gonna trade you. I
didn't want to go anywhere east of the Mississippi River, right,
I had never been out here. I came out here
in eighteen for the World Series, and I hated it.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I was like, I hate the traft West Coast.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
West Coast, you know, I never really outside of the
World's Series.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
I'd never been out here, and.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
So I didn't I'm an East Coast kid, and got
traded and and I came out here, and my life
has really completely changed and for the better.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I think I would never have started the podcast and
really never have gotten the fifty to fifty Foundation and
really gotten involved as much as I am now if
it wouldn't for being out here, you know, I really
I think it was just I was able to grow.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
I had away from the family.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
My family's all in Nashville, so it really just kind
of was me and my wife and my daughter at
the time, and you know, we just grew up and
we grew up, and like you said, LA really embraced me,
and opportunities came, like acting and really just some business
things that kind of came that I feel like may
not have come across my table when I was in Boston.
(03:41):
So I'm very appreciative of being in LA. And actually
now it's the opposite. I really don't enjoy going back
to the East Coast, so like like seeing rain rain,
when I go back east, I'm like, what is this?
Speaker 8 (03:56):
You know?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
So I'm very appreciative of being Dodger.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Oh picking up a guitar and playing it like John
Mayer because they made the Jalen Brown trade. A lot
of the old Mookie bet wounds were reopened in uh
in Boston. How often do you come uprup because people
say it's like the biggest gut punch to a.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Boston fan in the history of sports.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
How often does that come up, like, how often are
you walking around and someone brings that up?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Uh, it's pretty often. It's pretty often. I think it's
probably people's way to break the ice or whatever.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
And you know, and so I embrace it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I used I used to not really say anything about it,
but now it's like, you know, it kind of happened.
It is what it is, and I'm just appreciative because
I feel like my life is completely different.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
That's how it was for Babe Ruth walking around the
rest of his life whenever he ran into Bostonians that
were yelling at him. The great Bookie Bets joining us
right now, and the Petrans and Money Show brought to
you by Verizon. You mentioned the podcast and the bleacher
reporting and your different adventures, like this is what we've
for work, Like I get up and I look at
this guy, and this is what we have to perform.
But we have to perform every day. You know, this
(05:06):
is our job. I mean, you already have the pressure
of being, you know, one of the great baseball players
on one of the great baseball teams, pressure to perform.
If you have a night that you don't perform, you know,
you people say something.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It's always there it's never ending. It's a grind.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
How do you find it, Like, Hey, I'm gonna do
a podcast and chop it up with this guy to
do you enjoy that part of it or does it
feel like because performing is a grind.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I really enjoy it because it's something different, you know.
And now that I'm thirty three, you know, I have
to I don't want to wait until I'm done playing
to start the next chapter. That's how I have to
kind of do both. And it's it is tough. It
is tough.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Nothing ever takes my time.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I'm always here making sure I take care of my business.
But you know, also, you know, Lebron and those guys
kind of gave us the blueprint right how to build
the Legacy Empire while you're playing, and so I'm just
trying to trying to do that. And when I'm done playing,
I don't want to be lost, you know. I know
there's guys out there that kind of get lost and
(06:12):
don't really know what's next, and so I'm really trying
to build myself to understand what's coming up next while
I'm while I'm playing.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
I saw you on with Benetti for Sunday Night Baseball,
and you brought up Petroia and kind of the way
that he coached you up or whatever you want to say,
and your relationship with Free, Like, can you think of
sort of the best advice that you ever got? Is
there stuff that you like to pass on that maybe
you heard that's really stuck with you?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Do you know?
Speaker 7 (06:43):
There's been so many things.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
The one thing that really sticks with me that I
don't know how you change or whatever is I remember
one time I didn't get a bunt down. This is
at the very beginning, I didn't get a bunt down
to move a guy over, and Pete came up and
he got into me a little bit rightfully so so
(07:07):
because we end up losing the game or whatever. And
I was like, I was trying. I was trying to
get it down. I was trying to get it down,
and he said, we try. If you try at the
y MCA and the big leagues, you get it done,
you know.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
And so like it just always is stuck with me, Like.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I don't it's hard to say because I don't really
care how hard you try, Like you got to do it,
you know. And so that that really kind of drives
me like to get things done no matter what cosset.
Sometimes you may have to do things that you may
not want to do or you don't like how it's done,
but you got to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Speaking of that, I guess on a lighter note, can
is there like something because Freddy's known as the guy?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Right?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Is there a certain first baseman that you kind of
look forward to chopping it up with when you're playing
a certain team at all?
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Probably? Probably not.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I mean I really I talk to everybody, and now
now it's you know, I know some of the first basement,
but and now I feel like I'm so old, like
I don't even know.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Sometimes I don't even know some of the.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Guys out there on the field, like I haven't seen them,
you know, they're these twenty two year old kids coming up.
And so I really kind of get to know people.
And I just talked to everybody. Man, it doesn't matter
when I get the first I talked to the guy
when I get the second, like, yeah, I mean I
think it's because of the podcast. When I when I
started the podcast, it really has taught me how to
talk to people. And very appreciative of that because in
(08:36):
Boston you know, the it was just different man at
the time.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
You chowerhead. Yeah, yeah, they have a joyless sports media.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
You know, you just don't talk to guys.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And when if you do talk to guys, you know,
and then you go don't get a hit or something,
it's because you were talking to the guy and whatnot.
And so, I mean it just kind of is what
it is. I enjoyed it, and that helps you. It
helped me get to where I am today.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Do you have more bowling balls or guitars?
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Bowling balls? I probably have probably I would say twenty
twenty five ball.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Yeah, when you were young, did you use a real
heavy ball because you wanted to be swollen?
Speaker 7 (09:13):
That's what I h I mean, it's not a good idea. No,
it's well, you know what you're doing.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Yeah, yeah, but I find I got a bag ball
and choose deal for ninety five dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah, I still have very.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Proud you still you still got it? You ever use
it or it's.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Too heavy, I got to go to a lighter ball.
It's back when I was playing college football, it's like
sixteen pounds.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I wanted to be hard and like blow up then
you know, you.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Know, but now even pros they don't use fifty, they
don't use sixteen, they use fifteen most of them.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Really that's pretty heavy.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Though, yeah fifteen yeah, I mean, but if you know
what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now, I don't.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Yeah, twenty balls.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Is it like golf clubs, like you got like your
wedge and your drive.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, it's really Yeah, it's very similar because it just
depends on how much oil is on the lane, what
type of boils on the lane, what lane services out
there where you are in the country, like West Coast
doesn't hook as much as when you go out east. Yeah,
there's it's like because humidity and so there's there's so
much when it comes. But I was bowling before I
was playing baseball, so like, bowling is.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Something that I love. I do all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I got a couple of lanes at my house, so
I'm bowling.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
You were like the state player the of like the
decade or something.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I wouldn't say the decade, but I was of the year.
I think my junior senior year, one of the junior
senior year bowling. So yeah, I do with my mom
and my mom will always bowl a tournament together. Every year,
and so I used to two years ago, I used
to bowl in league on Sunday, So I would travel
back to Nashville to bowl with my mom on Sundays
(10:41):
and then come back out here.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
To l Come on.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, it's just me, Like that's something me and my
mom always have done.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
You have like a maintenance guy for the lanes at
the house. Uh, it breaks a lot.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Well, there's some called string string pins, so it doesn't
break as much. Yeah, exactly so, but there is a
guy that comes in and he helps me maintain it.
But a lot of it I'll do. It's like it's
like therapy. So like especially in the off season. You know,
I don't get to now because I got the kids
and I'm waking up early and got work and whatnot.
But in the offseason, like I'll wake up, take the
(11:13):
kids to school. If I'm not playing golf, then I'll
come home and like just get some alcohol and put
the put the when I drink and then get the alcohol,
spray the lanes, wipe the lanes down, do the fix
the machines.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Drill.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I got a drill press at the house. I drill
a couple of bowling balls. So I'm doing them doing
a lot.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
So I've seen you at the Chargers celebrity football term.
You can throw a ball, you can run around. You
mentioned you were maybe a better bowler than a baseball player.
I think you were an All state basketball player, right, So, like,
what was your thing?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Like? Were you were?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
You were you convinced you were going to play professional baseball,
So what was it?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Like? What were you doing in high school?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I was a water boy football because my mom didn't
let me play. But I'm always like even in off seasons,
not now since it probably since I hit thirty, but
before I would, I was in flag football league, So
playing flag football all the time, played in men's league
basketball all the time, bold obviously. I mean really I
(12:14):
didn't really play baseball until like I was forced to
play baseball, you know, to do this. Yeah, like when
they gave me the money I signed, and that's when
I like started really just focusing on baseball. And even
then I didn't until I still did other things and
then once I realized I was actually good at it.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
So now it's funny you brought that up because you
were what a fourth or fifth round pick, fifth round
and they gave you seven hundred and fifty K.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, most guys just go to school.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
They're like, no, man, I'm going to school and I'm
gonna be a first round. So you were just like,
I don't want to do this.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I just want to take this money.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Like is that what?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Like not a lot of guys do that.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, no, I know we were going to school. They
they essentially bought me out of school. So it was
life changing money that that we got in. I mean
even then I wasn't sure, like I really wanted to
go to school because they were going to allow me
to play basketball in school, so I really wanted to
go to school. And then when they when they went
(13:13):
up on the offer, it was like, yay, but dang,
I can't go this baseball. Yeah you know, so it
really I really had to truly learn to play baseball,
learned to love baseball.
Speaker 5 (13:27):

David Massey has tried to shelter this man from us
for quite some time, and those days are over. Joining
(15:10):
us right now. A hero from last night, a guy
that's providing some fire and some fun to the beginning
of this Dodger season.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Headed into the.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
All Star range, straight out of Memphis.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
But we like to think of him as being some quantity.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
It's talt and rushing. Joining us on your Socale Toyota
Celebrity hotline. What's crack a Dolman?
Speaker 8 (15:31):
How are you good? Getting ready to play a ball
game tonight?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, and we appreciate you coming in and doing this.
I mean, you've been a big leaguer for a while,
but you're a young guy. Is it hard to kind
of do interviews, talk to people, mess around, see all
these folks, and then kind of lock in and get
ready to catch a freaking Major League baseball game.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It feels like it's a lot.
Speaker 9 (15:54):
Uh No, I mean, I'm a human. I can have
a conversation, though it doesn't really change too much of
the day.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I'm a human and I don't deal well with things,
you know, before I have to perform, you know, I'm
a little bit testy, and I get a little upset
about that. But is it easier coming off at night
like last night where you had so much fun out there,
you missed it up, you had the game winner, everybody's
having a good time.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
Yeah, it feels good for sure. I don't think that
changes the plan for today. I think we're just gonna
go out there and we're gonna win another baseball game.
We're not going to worry about anything that happened last night, good, bad,
the ugly anything.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Yeah. No, Like I said, it's not bad at all.
It's good to be here with you guys.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So you want to reset after every game, good or bad?
Speaker 8 (16:38):
Like?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Is that the mentality of a baseball player When you've
got one hundred and sixty two of these things, like, yeah,
you can't carry the you know, four times on bays
kind of game winning hit. You don't want to carry
that to today.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
I mean, yeah, it boosts your confidence, but at the
same time, there's a new task at hand today and
that's to go play nine innings or however many we
need to win a baseball game.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
What's the what's the office thing about catching?
Speaker 9 (17:02):
I think just being on the same page with everyone,
understanding who's out there, Understanding who you're working with, how
they click, how to talk to them. You know, whether
it's in between innings, that's in the game, calling pitches
for him. You you have to understand them on a
personal level outside of just the game, and it allows
you to one call pitches better, but to just be
(17:24):
on the same page throughout.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
When you're calling pitches.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Is it we've got this set up, this is how
we're gonna do it, or is does everything adjust off
that first hitter what they're throwing? Like, how is it
that you set up a game plan before you get
into it?
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yeah? I think you.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
I think you have an idea of what the hitters
good at, what he struggles with, whatever it may be.
But you also have to understand who the guy is.
What does this guy have today? Because every pitch is
gonna roll out and they're gonna have just say, they
have four pitches. Two of them are gonna work, two
of them are gonna be a little iffy. So it's
kind of your job to understand and navigate him through
(18:00):
with those two pitches and how to sprinkle in the
third and the fourth.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
The one and only Dalton Rushing one of our most
exciting Dodger players joining us right now on the Petros
and Money Show. Exciting because he plays with fire and emotion,
which is crazy in baseball because it's hard to do
that for a whole season, you know, to get all
fired up. How do you level that out? Because definitely
that's part of your game, having having the the the intensity,
(18:25):
and I think it's something that this team needs. You know,
you got to have that that fire. But how do
you balance that out to play a whole season and
not get burnt out? Because man, it's tough, right, I mean,
it's a grind.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
It's I wouldn't say I try to do it. I
think it just kind of is a little second nature
competitive side of the game.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
When the competitive.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Juices start flowing, It's it's kind of like a third
person view a little bit. You your your body takes
over and you just play the game as hard as
you possibly can. And like I said earlier, you kind
of just have one task at hand and that's whatever
we have to do to when a game. And that's
that's honestly the way that I've looked at the occurrences
that have happened this year and everything. Really it's it's
(19:07):
coming out of a competitive nature and really just me
making sure I can do whatever I can to make
sure we win.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Does it bother you when like jomboy or these people start,
you know, reading your lips right away? I mean it's
it's exciting for Dodger fans, not in a bad way.
I mean a lot of people like to see the
emotion of the game. A lot of people like it
to be more accessible to them.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
And I'm a human being.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I get mad too, you and all that different stuff.
But when you wake up in the morning and you
see that kind of stuff, is it water off a
duck's back or handle it?
Speaker 9 (19:38):
I mean, I'm I'm off social media now, so it's like,
I don't I don't really care to see it. I
know John Boys made some money off of me. I'll
throw that out there. Yeah, he gets a he gets
a kick out of it, for sure, But in all
honesty that he's the least of my worries. So I
just want to go out there play baseball and do whatever,
(19:58):
like I said, I have to do to be able
to win.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Does the does the catcher have to be the most
sort of down the middle player on the field, because
does a pitcher have to have a little bit of
that fire in them to I know everyone's different, but
like and do you have to maybe adjust the way
your kind of working yourself.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
Every picture you, Like I said earlier, you kind of
have to understand the person that they are and the
way that they click. For instance, I look at a
guy like lour from last night. He's easy going, nothing
brings him up, nothing brings him down. And then you
you have guys like Kersh. Curse is an easy one.
Everyone loves cursh here and Curse is a competitor. He's
even bigger competitor than a lot of people believe. So
(20:41):
the way you talk to two different players like that,
it kind of varies, obviously, But I think for me,
it's just understanding these guys outside of the baseball field,
and it allows me to handle their emotions and handle the
game situation a little easier.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
So you have you know, I mean, look, every every
player's got to feel their position. But you've got to
handle a pitching staff. You're being asked hit as well.
What's the hardest thing about coming out of a slump
is because you're different, You've got to handle a pitching staff,
while the other guys, I get it, they have to
feel their position. But I imagine that's a little bit
different for catchers. So kind of what have you learned about,
you know, when the bat's not working, making sure you're
(21:15):
still rolling.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Yeah, it's a good question.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
It's it's almost like you you flipped the switch to
what you take pride in a little more. As I've
came up through the years, I've I've always been known
as an offensive catcher, and so like getting the big leagues,
your your offense isn't always gonna click, doesn't matter who
you are. And uh so, I think it's been a
good challenge for me to be able to like, all right,
i'm struggling at the plate, I'm gonna lock into this
(21:38):
guy that's in front of me. And the more success
you fill on the defensive side of things allows you
to like kind of even out your game and level
everything out, understand that I can help this team win
without a bat in my hand and to me, it's
I've added value to that since I've gotten to the
big leagues.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
What is this team like with all these veterans and
icon and future Hall of famers? When you walk in
the locker room, does it, oh the clubhouse? Does it
look like that to you? Or does it just look
like a bunch of guys that you've come to know
and trust.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
Yeah, I think the more you get to know these guys,
the more you understand they're just human beings that are
really good at what they do. And obviously this is
this is a clubhouse like no other.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (22:20):
You walk in there, you see a Hall of Famer
at every corner, and uh, all stars at the other corners.
So it's yeah, it's a very star studded clubhouse. But
at the same time, everyone treats everyone like or normal
normal Joe. You know, it's not like anyone's bigger than
the other person. Obviously, you have your Freddy's, your mookies show. Hey,
all those guys like you treat them with a little
(22:41):
more respect just out of obvious reasons, you know. But no,
no one treats anyone differently based on what they've done
in their career and who they are.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
But when you're lifting weights, obviously you're lifting heavier than
those other guys and they want to work in with you,
you know, and you've got to take a forty five
pound late off there. I mean, now that the kind
of reference we're talking about. What are we talking about,
like get the tequila shot before you when when somebody
breaks a record, like like what kind of rev They
get a bigger room in the hotel, they get to
(23:11):
beat up on. Fascinating what they get.
Speaker 9 (23:13):
They get a few things over the younger guys, for sure,
but they earned it.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
You know.
Speaker 9 (23:18):
You you earn your way in this game. And obviously
half of our clubhouses are in their way. So it's
it's special to be around them. It's obviously fun. It's
a blessing to learn from them, understand what got them here,
and uh kind of try and build off of it
for yourself.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Is uh, we know Mookie would win a bowling tournament?
What would you win?
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Like?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
What? What?
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I think it's pretty hard.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Press?
Speaker 5 (23:42):
What cleaning?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
What would you clean house? On the rest of the clubhouse.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
I mean the easy answer is weights. Something that has
to do with weights, military press. Uh, yeah, we do
have some strong guys though, we have some guys that
would give me a run for my money, especially upper body,
lower body.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I don't think is what about wrestling, like if you
just threw on a singlet ahead gear And.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
We got some scrappy guys, don't. I don't know if
I never in a million years would I ever wrestle
one of my teammates.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
But I mean it's like, you know, Rob Diimmle wrested Panela.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Cigarettes got crushed.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
I don't know if I could ever imagine myself wrestling
a teammate. But no, I don't know if I'd even
want to do that. We got some big guys, Like
I said to Oscar Hernandez, a strong man. I don't
know if I'd ever want to see a bad side
of him.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, he could move some weight.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
And the ram Rat, the great Dalton Rushing and the
Verizon locker room.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
What a great guy and great to watch him play.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
And I really do believe that the fire you bring
to the game is something the Dodger fans absolutely adore,
and it's brought so much joy to the first part
of this season. We do worry about the young guys
on our show, and you have been threat kind of
kept from us. We've I don't think we've interviewed you
before in person or anything like that. And we wereorry
about what the city of Los Angeles has to offer.
(25:03):
And you know where you fit in there. You know,
whether you're not you're gonna go Hollywood. We talked to
a lot of people about this, football players, you know, recruits,
anybody you know coming to the city from somewhere else.
How's that working out for you? You living at the beach
you got Did you buy a big chain?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
You know, you know it happened, seen it with a
lot of guys.
Speaker 9 (25:23):
No, No, I uh not a big chain guy. I
have a singular chain that I bought the beginning of
last year and it's time. It's tucked. It's I don't
have to bring it out the flash. I really don't
care about it's.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Uh. I just want to play.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
No carpet premieres for a Dulton rus.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Your agent's not calling anyone saying, hey, I want Dalton
out to this.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Thing unless one's pushing me there. No.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
All right, So you know, I mean you're laying low.
You're not going out of it. I mean, you know,
Mookie is a pretty good example out day, but you
don't see him at two in the morning coming out
of Craigs with a Kardashian you know, maybe the husband
he's a husband of Gris. But anywhere you know, you
you know, you can kind of mix it up. But
but but you haven't really seen no side of Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
I guess you could say I don't get out enough.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
I guess no, no, no, that's good.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
That's a catch. You got all the study and you
got it.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
You know exactly what is there a picture that you'd
like to catch that's not on the Dodgers?
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (26:23):
I think de Gram would be a cool one. I
think he's all the famer He's uh, he was still is.
He's been so good for so long you kind of
want to know what it's like to work with him.
How does he think? How does he approach the game, pregame?
How does he navigate the middle of the game. It's
it's just like the little things like that that I
(26:44):
think are pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
As a catcher, he's going to give you a flying
kick to the head.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
The great in a good way.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
The Great Dalton rushing a hero to us all and
great to watch him play baseball. A fine young.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Man and we wish you luck.
Speaker 8 (26:58):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Have a great night tonight, stay great, Dalton Rushing, A
great night last night, a great night every night.
Speaker 3 (27:04):

the Dead Guy Birthday o the day.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
It is an annual p one of our favorites, the idiom.
This is the greatest thing since slice bread pays.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Homage to our Dead Guy.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Otto Frederick Rowetter born in Davenport, Iowa.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
That's one of the quad cities. I think that Big Quads,
Big Quad. Dalton Rushing knows all about that.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
We are your quad city show of record. Anytime we
can shout one out, in this case Davenport, we shout
out the others. Bettendorf also on the Iowa side, both
Moleen and East Moleen count as one, but technically our two.
And Rock Island on the Illinois side for your quad cities.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But back too, our man.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
So there's really five, really five.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
But it's kind of weird, right, It's like Russia.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
He's got an extra muscle in his glad.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Oh, no doubt, parents German if you didn't guess already
with that name. Immigrants high school there in Iowa and
his teen's apprentice to a jeweler to learn a trade
got bored, went to the Illinois College of Optometry instead
of going to med school, opened his own jewelry store
in Saint Joe's Miszoo, took off, opened up two more,
and he was a tinkerer.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
For whatever reason.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Decided he was going to make a machine that could
slice bread. That was his thing. He started to chase
it in the early nineteen hundreds. He had blueprints, he
got a prototype, he got a shop slash factory where
he worked on it.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
And Mama she got to work with no fact and then.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
It burned down.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
With all the money he invested in the prototype and
the blueprints, he had no money left, so it took
another decade before he can invest again.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
In chasing the sliced bread dream.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Not only did his machine that he invented slice the bread,
it wrapped, it got his patents. He sold the first
machine to his pal Frank, who installed it at his
Chilicothe Baking Company in Chilicothe, Missouri, now known as the
Homo Slice Bread. First loaf sold on Otto's birthday, July seventh,
nineteen twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
It was a huge hit.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Saint Louis got the second, and then a nineteen thirty
Continental banking company got one, and they introduced the country
to wonderbread, which was sliced.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The invention of a pop up toaster helped too.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
By nineteen thirty three, bakeries were selling more sliced than loves.
He got tired of fighting all the lawsuits, so he
decided to sell his patent to the micro westc Company
and took a veep gig with them, which he worked
until he retired seventy one. He passed away in nineteen
sixty at eighty. I have seen it with my own
two That original sliced bread machine is in the Smithsonian,
(30:45):
all right.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
The best thing I've earned in a sliced bread.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Yeah. You used to have to tear it up with
your own hands, your two bare hands, all right, matthew hands.
We have a Korean woman for your A live guy.
Maybe some titles to enjoy. Yun Chay Kung South Korean
actress and singers. She began her career as a member
of the girl band Poor Rity. She was also in
some other girl bands, but the one girl band that
(31:10):
she was most known for is the girl band April,
which went from like twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
What's her overall deal.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
She seems she looks a lot like the Korean cop
that saved the Mexican grandfather.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
That was shot.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Oh, that dude felt with her Korean town the sun, Yeah,
the Koreatown watch party down there in beautiful Koreatown when
Mexico beat Korea and physically beat them fifty to one
hundred person brawl, one hundred Mexicans per one Korean and
only one shooting. But anyway, this lady and her titles,
are you ready to approve or disapprove? I'm ready of
(31:47):
the titles from this great sit You know they're both
