Speaker 4 (00:41):
Oh yeah, dude, do you actually buy the stuff?

Speaker 2 (00:45):

Speaker 3 (00:46):
So I'm like, you know, I wait to the last
minute and I'm like, what do I get her? I'm like,
hold on, text me, let me.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Go to my notes.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's crazy. So that's what I do. Okay, Well, that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Steve is gonna be at the Loyal Common Story. A
couple of shows tonight, a couple of shows Tomorrow night,
Sunday show, Sunday show.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Alright, this is good Sunday night, seven o'clock, all right,
and then I'm on the Red Eye home that night too,
and you're back in New York.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Right back in New York. I'm heading right back after
you like.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
The Red Eye?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Do you prefer it or is it just give me home?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Here's what I like. I like planes that take off
land because I was going planes that people on it
are not. It's like, not the cast of con Air Cyrus.
I don't want to have to look for a hamster
for two hours before we take off. Okay, So whatever
flight time that is, it's my favorite flight.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
That's basically where we are at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
We've talked about this on our show, is that it's
like I don't know if it's happening more or just
with cell phones we see it more. But there's crazy
people on flights now, non stop.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
And then the worst part is the first thing I
do is I look to see what the airline. They
don't give you the airline and advance in the story.
I'm like whatever, I'm like looking for detail, and then
you hear it's like it's arrow airlines. I was like, oh,
I'm never flying, But those people spread out everywhere now
and every I mean it's everywhere quite delta. So it's like, yeah,

(02:14):
I've had people on there that are just like, you know,
shoes and socks off.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Dude, what the hell are we doing? Like, what are
we doing?

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like?

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I fleet, so I fly usually up on the front
of the plane. Okay, so that's okay. But and now
I dressed the way I addressed. My mom is like disgusted.
Sometimes she's like, you're not wearing like a jacket in
first class. I'm like, Mom, there was a man in
pajamas and no shoes on next to me.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, ok, yeah, he was vaping on the plane.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
So this isn't the forties where we dress up in
suit and tied to travel.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Smoking bugs and reading the Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's a little different anymore, a little different, Steve. Last
time I talked to you, and it's been it's been
a minute since you've been in we were talking. We
really related because I I'm a little league coach and
my kid is you know, we're now in juniors and
so it's different level baseball things like that. You were
involved in this too. Are you still in the coaching

(03:11):
realm or.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm in the I'm in now my son plays travel.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, hand all the responsibility over to somebody else.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Your money over, yea, all the.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Valuable assets you can't get back, you hand that to
another person. Okay, you can sit on the sidelines. Now
you have to learn how to do that.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
That's not That's what I was gonna ask because me, I,
I've had the chances of going in that direction, but
I don't think I can do it. I don't think
like this is our last year and then I hand
them off to high school. I don't know what I'm
gonna do. You learn, dude, I don't know how, And
you have to go through versions of yourself. You're going
to be a rookie.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
The first talk to me, I still still thought I
had all the knowledge in the world, and so I
chirped I would be not necessarily at my side, but
just at like coachings, coaching decisions, yeah, making coments.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah. It was like a father's day.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
And this guy, this umpire, I mean, this other kid
was balking left and right.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
The balk it's a it's a.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Complicated pitching thing, but it's kind and it's sort of
judgmental as so.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Anyway, this other kid was balking left and right and
then my son was pitching and and the umpire kept
missing it. But we were figuring he's going to just like,
let this kind of be not a problem. Some guys
just don't, you know, do that. And then my son
literally pull comes set and then just kind of looked
a little bit over his shoulder too much. He goes, balk,
I go, oh that you saw. He just takes the

(04:51):
mask off and he goes, that's enough out of you.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
You are right. You can't be that guy. You can't.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I realize you can't be because number one, I've been
on the road a lot. I got to watch you know,
they have all the technology. I watch the game, right,
I watch my my son's got a perfect game game today.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I will watch it. That's cool. Yeah, perfect. It's also miked.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, all the parents, all the smack talk going around
and all like that. You're like, oh, I know, like
who that And I'm like, oh, someone's gonna listen, and
I'm going to be the guy there, that guy. I
don't want to do that. So now I've transitioned to
I'm taking edible gummy and sit in the ass.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay, that's good, that's great.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
There are different types of parents you got the outfield guy.
You got the parents that are like on the side
in their own chairs that don't They don't want to
talk to anybody.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
It's not that I ever want to communicate or talk
to You don't want to be you know, you drop
the kids off, you gotta be there now. I do
all the socializing that it comes game time, because what
I can do out there, I love to I don't
like sometimes parents will talk and they'll just talk to you,
and I want to watch the game.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
A little bit. They don't really care. I can pay
attention to everything. I want to play.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I love to pay atten. I love to watch. That's
my favorite thing in the world. The wat kids play sports. Yeah,
but I can mumble to myself and nobody hears me.
I know, they think you're a crazy person out in
the outfield.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's money. That's where you belong, and that's where I
have now graduated to. That's smart. That's smart there. Okay,
that's good. You get bit by more mosquitoes. It's a
longer walk to the sessions bathrooms. Yeah, I don't mind.
I got to get up and walk around back. So
there you go bad.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, Yeah, it's I don't get to hear any of
this stuff because, you know, as the coach, I'm in
the dugout and then I'm walking, you know, in and
out doing these things. But my wife is in the stands,
so she's in there, you know, and she'll come back.
We do this thing where I get the report and
people talk freely around They Sometimes they realize, oh, that's
the coach's wife, you know, and sometimes they they don't know,

(06:59):
Oh yeah, oh yes, oh yeah, one hundred percent. Idea,
what's what's wrong with that coach? Tell me more what
you think of him and his family? And I say,
it's my lapel.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
So I'll get the report on like what's what the skin,
you know, the chatter is and the stands of like
what's going on.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
It's normally not about me.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
It is about you know whatever, that kid or the
other coach or whatever. Sometimes though, it is about me,
and I'll be like, wow, really they said that. I'm like,
oh my god, Like, why didn't you argue that it
wasn't It wasn't the thing I can argue. And then
that's the best part is they don't even know the game.
Half the time. These guys don't even know the game

(07:50):
and they're chirping things that don't even make sense, you know,
and so that that does get to me a little bit.
But it is what's really.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Like, It's just it takes a lot of just I mean,
you have to be who you are.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I don't want people to change.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
But if you are the loud, obnoxious going to comment
on everything, just go out to the outfit and sit
out smart, just be out there so that you don't
have to because then, you know, when it comes down
to it, these are kids. Sports, there are kids, you know,
they can travels a different thing because people are paying money,
like you know, and so the people feel invested in

(08:23):
it and they you know, they're losing their time and
they feel like they have all that passion and so
you know.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
But to me, it's like, guys, like a little bit,
trust me, give your.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Kid tips from like the like when I would pitch,
your dad would sit in the stands and if I
threw a couple of balls, it was mainly a lot
of time I was dropping my elbow. So I look
at my dad and he'd pointed at his elbow to
help me out.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Do you do that?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I do the lessons with my sons we're already my
younger sons already a better baseball player than I ever
was or will ever be.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
This is it.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
So I'm like, I only know what the coaches tell
him to do. Now, you know, Like now he's like
standing straight up at the battest box. Sometimes he's getting
too tall, and it's like you got to sit in
his legs a little bit. So you know, I'll just
sit there and I'll be like, hey, remember your legs.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Because my youngest plays golf. He loves golf playing, and
that's great.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
That's like changed my whole I've gotten way worse at
golf because I don't practice, but I love playing a
lot more.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
But like the golf swing is very different.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
So like I that's the one thing, Like as we're
driving there, I go, hey, let's reset our mind right now,
let's like knock get in front of the ball, let's
stay back, you know, like let's do the things that like,
because you know, and like I don't want the whole
game double header to go by and be like, oh,
you know what I forgot. I wasn't switch my swing,
and like sometimes I mean, I don't know about your kids,

(09:56):
but mine are dumb enough that they had a little
bit of.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
You don't say we're very similar. My daughter is the golfer,
she's on the high school golf team, and my son
is the baseball player. So I'll take her golfing and
I'm like, this is perfect. You know, we'll go out. Yeah,
and I try to coach her up a little bit.
It does not go over well at all. So that
I'm fine with coaching my son. I cannot coach my daughter.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
How I do the golfing is I go forget coaching
and stuff. We do like a Bryce and the Shambo.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
I get.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
I got two love mics. We mike each other up.
We got a little camera on the golf cart. And
he just likes to he's competitive, so he'll I'm like,
I'll give you twenty strokes and there's no way you're
gonna beat me.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh smack talk. He's getting better, Like that's that's fun. Now,
that's good. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
And then you know he'll watch the video let me
see my swing, break it break it down film by
the Shambo channel, like he loves that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
That YouTube channel is amazing. That's chance to watch it.

second going to be a new dad.

Speaker 2 (11:13):

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, no, right, stand up, just so she's she's nine

saying that. I will tell you something right now.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
My wife's water broke and my first son and I
had just gotten this is uh now, sixteen and a
half years ago, I got an appointment with the number one.
I was just starting the second the second season the league,
and I realized after the first thing they need to
lose was a little bit of weight.

Speaker 2 (11:54):

kid board on a Sunday. Okay, after the Broncos game,
I don't need this. Yes, I just I just want
to watch the Giants game against the Eagles, and then
you can the kid could be born.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
That's what I think. You can predict that.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
If that here's what if that game is tight, right
and then in halftime breaks that that's the second half.
I know you can't sit through the second like that
is what it's the time? It out like it could
be two hours. I know hour we rushing time.

Speaker 2 (13:01):

For him, and I'm like, we will leave at the end,
last second, and all of a sudden, I'm like, it's overtime.

like test my own blood pressure.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
I'm okay with that. But this guy is not a
calm football watcher. So he's not going to be paying
attention to his wife. He's going to be yelling at
the iPad. It's going to be annoying.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Well, I tell you what. Look it it's a lot
like a football huddle where it's like I.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Remember my when the doctors like hold like I was
