way that’s Josh Gibson’s great grandson and not make a big deal about it for real yeah yeah I met him in Columbia two years ago in fact it was almost two two years ago to the day that we were there I think it actually was two years ago to the day we were there wa he was he was here for the Negro League celebration in at the fireflies and I I talked to him for I don’t know 20 minutes out here so but yeah he recognized Donnie’s shirt Donnie bought it from him and Johnny’s like oh yeah by the way I mean he introduced us and everything so we got to talk to him but he just kind of casual like oh that’s just you know Sean Gibson hello Josh Gibson great grandson We’re not gonna make a big deal about this well I didn’t want to embarrass the man well you know it was just really cool to get to Mee him though yeah yeah absolutely I’m thinking about so opening night for the NBC World Series is the 90th Edition and we’re celebrating uh uh satchel pagee and so Satchel paig is Grand andon will be

you there my friend uh but uh listen um what what are you wearing uh what are you drinking so I I went for the content joke um I was I was actually organizing some more of my hats into some boxes and I have a bunch of you know travel hats and things my friend Phil picked this up at Wimbledon a couple years ago and I saw it uh and sellers had said something yesterday about or day before yesterday about you know one more sleep till Wimbledon started yesterday so I thought what the heck I would uh I would throw him a I’d throw him a bone and wear the Wimbledon hat today and uh drinking uh a can of long baller from the can Ballers speaking of long baller I sorry have to stop you my father-in-law is eating at the restaurant right now oh yeah uh yeah he goes like hey we got to come here when

ballpark you ought to go down there on Friday Virgil will be at the cannonballers on Friday I’m going to see I don’t know uh so uh we were going to go down there tomorrow night but the problem is the wife has co uh so you know she’s at work she’s not she’s been at home for the last you know couple of days so we’ll see how that goes Donnie tell that story that shanon just said yeah I want to know about this story that BoB Kendrick story so I felt bad for Johnny because he wasn’t gonna be able to keep up with us but anyway so I I I’ll preface the story about why I stopped him to start with other than just to meet BoB Kendrick well right so last year when we did our trip to Omaha and Kansas City uh Ronda and I had gone to um The Negro League museum in Kansas City right on that Friday before we went to Omaha because we were there for the bananas monarchs game well when I was checking out of the the team the store there not Team Store the uh the store at the Museum there was a guy behind the counter and there’s a young kid ringing me up and I looked at that guy and I thought God that looks like BoB Kendrick he’s like wearing a white T-shirt shorts tennis shoes and I’m like cool as a cucumber I was like that can’t be him and I didn’t pull the string and like ask him are you BoB Kendrick I was just like no that can’t be him and I’ve regretted it ever since because then later I was like yeah that was him and I just like I missed my opportunity to say hello to him so fast forward to the rickwood he’s he comes rolling by there was a couple other Negro League players on the golf cart with him that I had just seen on Friday night and and met them on Friday night in uh Chattanooga M and uh so I was saying Hey to them and then I was like like oh Bob Kendrick’s on the back so and they had stopped so I just walked up to him and I I I said hey Mr Kendrick I just wanted to meet you and shake your hand and uh and I told him the story about the previous year and he said he was he got a big smile on his face and was just like you know well I’m glad glad you finally got to you know to actually meet me and all that I appreciate it appreciate you supporting the museum and so then the cart kind of the guy driving the car started pulling away a little bit and Eric and I looked at each other and it’s like oh man um I wish we could have got a picture with him and they just started driving off and so we started kind of walking along waiting for them to stop out the fence like out to the sidewalk to go around the outside front of the stadium yeah yeah and he’s like he’s like let’s cut through there and see if we can head them off so we kind of went scurrying down through there came out at the front of uh rickwood and they were turning the corner and they got stopped again and so we started walking and talking with him as he just kind of rolled along at like a half mile an hour and finally we got to where we they were about to go through a gate that we weren’t going to be able to walk through uh because it was back to a VIP area and we were like I said I said do you think they would stop long enough for us to get a picture and he looked at the driver and he’s like ah he jumped off he’s like I’ll catch up to him he’s like you get your picture I was like oh that’s awesome dude I was like that is so cool so he stood there and got a couple pictures with the with Eric and I and I mean just the nicest man in the world was so nice I cannot wait to go and I felt so bad that they kind of took off and we couldn’t get Johnny over there to to meet him and and yeah get a picture with him as well but so was Bob fanboying for the mayor and the influencer is that was it a case of that or was he I’ll let you get a picture with me but really they even said that they’re part of the you know the DHC sport show and all that stuff they all say that I think I think he had regret after they drove off that he didn’t get a with me after the story I told him so he was like hoping I would catch up I figured I mean I I kind of assume that it was it was I mean it was just a great time of meeting I mean I got to meet um um uh I mean we got to meet Sophie we got to meet uh a couple other guys there Charles Dennis Ste Charles Dennis yeah yeah and um I mean it was just and dyra Sam Dy oh yeah he came to our seats Johnny was like Hey we’re here he’s like where are you we’re in the Outfield so he came get down get [Applause] down yeah he he came out there and I me he had no idea who I was because he obviously he knew who Johnny and Eric were because he had been on their show um so I I kind of you know introduced myself and jumped in there and I still don’t think he knows who I am but so let me ask you this uh you know like who’s who’s the lung Jumper in this one was it or was it a relay uh of peasant the Baton between the two of you on the Olympic Runners we stay together it was neck and neck we weren’t we were one and say but yeah I was like because when they went out we looked there and saw him I was like we’re going to be easier and quicker if we cut them off so we actually went cut through part of the stadium yeah we took the shortcut yeah like back down down through like the where the original ticket office and all that would be and come out underneath the uh the iconic front of the that’s when Eric pulled on the jet is like I’m going to get me my mile you know run [Applause] here Village was the coolest thing yeah that Village was cool it had a lot of stuff there a lot of displays um a lot of information to look at uh just really

good you know comments on the on the chat so appreciate everybody on the chat tonight so thank you for joining us guys all right boys and girls let’s talk uh let’s talk a little bit of baseball um you know I want to I want to I want to see where the standings are as of right now because I mean uh as of today right I mean you know there’s some games have been played so you know we’re going to we’re going to see what’s up uh so let’s start with the national league uh Philadelphia is in first place in the National League East uh the Dodgers are in first place in the west and then Milwaukee Brewers um I think they you know they they they they have a little bit of a u in them to you know make sure that great Council does not uh get that division this year so they’re in first place Atlanta s San Diego St Louis are the three teams right now that are buying for that wild card spot uh and then the New York Mets are not too far behind at one and a half games back at 41 and 41 so uh not bad for a team that’s like you know oh wait they highest payroll in baseball got it never mind um all right and then let’s move on to the American League real quick here uh what we have right now is crazy uh Cleveland in first place that’s is weird that’s the whole reason you brought it up I don’t know what you’re talking about uh Baltimore in first place in the East that would they’re tied they’re tied listen I have Baltimore right now they’re ahead because of the winning percentage my friend H 200s hey I’m just saying uh then you got Seattle in the west I love that I love that Seattle’s in the west right now ahead that’s a such a cool one uh then you got guys news flash new New York Yankees the Minnesota Twins and the Kansas City influencers tied right now you know for that wild card the two spots uh this is this is wild what do we think I think my predictions are looking pretty good me too I was gonna say the same thing because that’s about where all of mine were I believe well for me except for the alest I didn’t have the Mariners as high as as you did and I knew the I knew the Yankees Baltimore is going to be kind of a a back and forth the rest of the year so we’ll just we’ll see where it goes I mean I don’t know how we lost two out of four to Toronto that’s what put us in this tie situation but still anybody can anybody can win on any day we almost lost to Chicago to tall I mean I can’t you know what I mean we lost the Series against Kansas City Royal so uh uh dang oh no I I’m I’m mentioning it right now uh Zach I mean I I was like I I and you can I’m I’m guarante I texted Eric and I congratulated him on the series win I was like hey they they get their roses they they beat Cleveland fair and square on that one so yeah to the point where uh trist uh Tristan Mckenzie was sent down to Triple Eight they sent him down so I mean that he’s been doing that bad this year they were like yeah bro we need you to go ahead and your your together down at Triple A so you know I mean that’s embarrassing right I mean you’re the number two starter and then well technically number one because of uh Bieber going down and you were sent down to Triple A it’s happened twice in Toronto this year with the various pitchers Eric Swanson lost control and he’s he’s down in Buffalo trying to figure out whatever whatever happened to his confidence and Alec manov where he was shut down for the year obviously so again yeah well yeah yeah Al manowa is out for the year so in very very old news but um I’m glad that your teams are within playoff contention or in first place in your divisions happy for you guys I’m no you’re not I am I am I know you are I love how he just called you all like no you’re not stop lying I mean what did I do to the mayor man I’m just getting knocked right no it’s just funny that that that that Patrick’s he’s I mean it’s not even the All-Star break and he’s already reserved the fact that they’re done well well I mean I mean they are 15 games back bro I mean they’re in last plays in the East right and then the wild card they are um yeah they’re not good they’re eight games back on the on the on the wild card so I mean they’re rebuilding they’ve been rebuilding for the last two years bro yeah yeah well we’ll see what kind of true rebuilding project they’re going to do let’s see if they if they try to touch vlat and Bo there’s going to be a lot of fans upset especially with the way V you know Bo’s leaving they’re sending Bo out they’re shipping him out well we’ll see what happens we’ll see what happens um so are you buying to get him to Cleveland is that why you’re saying that bro uh I don’t know what you’re talking about my man I have no idea uh bro bro BR brh uh I don’t know what you’re talking about you know I have no idea yeah we’ll see what happens okay you know honestly who knows like at this point like I mean this we’re not even at the at the All-Star game yet so lots of things can happen for God’s sakes look at uh Houston right Houston is in second place right now they’re three games back in the Wild Card uh so I mean anything can happen at this point and what they are only three games back of Seattle right now yeah yeah they they’ve been playing better basb Don should I’ve taken my Red Sox bet listen the Red Sox are um they’re what third place eight games back right now 45 and and 39 all admit they’re doing better than I thought they did they would do so they’re better than I thought they’d be solid eye I had them in last place so did I I know Eric did too yeah to be fair yeah to be fair I had uh the L Jay’s already in fourth place so I’m only one worse off than I thought I’d be so uh let me see I’m looking for the the All-Star game uh the new format for the All-Star Game the the Home Run Derby we were just talking about this a couple of days ago um let me ask you this what do you guys uh what do you guys think of the new format when I first read it I thought it was actually pretty good I like I liked the fact that every the first round is all of them in a pool because I always hated they pair guys up and you get somebody that just got hot and screwed up so I mean it just it needed to be that that was perfect to do that um I don’t I’m not sure we’ll see how the pitches versus timing because they only what 40 pitches in the first round and 27 I think in the the second round or something like that or time limit depending on which comes first so the the first round all eight players get three minutes or 40 pitches whichever comes first so it’s about efficiency plus one timeout right okay uh the four leading home run hitters Advance uh ties are broken using the long the longest home run distance yeah uh after the initial 340 minut uh three minutes uh or 40 pitches each player gets three bonus outs where they continue hitting until three outs are recorded hitters can earn a fourth bonus with a 425 foot home run uh in bonus time this gives anyone who is trailing a chance to catch up because they can continue hitting homers in bonus until they run out of outs yeah so I mean and then they seed them after that you know the top four they get seeded which is good too because then you get the guy that has had hit the most in the first round going against the one to hit the least so I I love it I I think I I think Val said on the text the other day is like is just going to speed it up I I don’t know that anything’s going to speed it up because it’s for TV anyway yeah but it will speed up the the per player I think a little bit i’ love that you know I’m with you there it’s like I like that that it is a pool first uh it’s not a bracket style then the semi-final then it’s a bracket style that I like a lot yes definitely that I I I agree with it like one against four and two against three same same thing though right three minutes 40 pitches yeah you know what I mean so like I mean that that part it still counts as uh uh the and then also the same bonus times rules apply so again I mean I I don’t have any issues the final two players are uh now have two minutes in the finals two minutes or 27 pitches one timeout it was the finals that went down to 27 pitches the first two rounds were 40 okay yep uh but the same bonus still applies the bonus hasn’t changed the only thing that changed at that point is 2 minutes or 20 pitches yeah uh so there you go uh Eric uh or or Patrick what do you guys think about that not not everybody at once Patrick you’re up all right well he’s not gonna say anything so I’m with Donnie as far as like there was a year a couple years ago like Salvador Perez hit like 29 home runs in the first round but he was going up against Pete Alonzo when he won like back to back so he didn’t even get to advance he had the second most home runs out of anybody because of the guy he was facing um I’d be curious just to see it play out just to kind of I mean I I understand how or what the rules are going to be but I’d just be curious to see what it looks like I I think I could better gauge it after I see it this year but I think it’ll be hopefully better from what I can tell at least by what they said it’s going to be this year mhm when are they going to announce who Zen it next week or two should be coming up I mean because I mean the game is on July 15 I was say didn’t I say that Gunner was already announced that’s what Zach just said he just said that in my ear he said gunar Henderson’s already gun became the first player to commit uh to to that on the fence is sh Otani uh guess who’s not participating Aaron judge yeah Jordan Alvarez is not participating either so uh yeah we’ll see I mean let him be the judge of that oh no I knew it was coming I was like I was like let Patrick get his joke in because I know there’s one coming and Henderson and Henderson’s gunning for the victory please knock him out take it remove him no um I know you didn’t ask for my opinion on this but uh I I like the I like the Home Run Derby the new format in concept I like the I like the fact that you had to earn your way into the final four I like um because before as you guys were saying it was a luck of the draw versus who you faced and um I think earning your way in in the first round I think also limiting it to 40 pitches or three minutes is good because a lot of times we saw in previous Home Run Derby there were be fatigue at the end of the remember vaty oh yeah hitting like I mean that dude just went nuts and then and then he just ran out of team at the end he should have won that yeah that he just went freaking berserk yeah yeah because this one yordan would yeah so yeah yeah Jordan Alvarez would put on a show but I I like it I want to see how kind of like Eric I want to see how it plays out but I really like it um in theory um to I like to uh I like that I like this new setup versus what we see in the past so I’m excited to see how it all plays out ad doas Garcia is a jack dude if I see if he represents you know like the Rangers how be ridiculous uh who you know I don’t I can’t really see who was the ones that are were like you know Vine for are playing right now uh so I want to make sure like you know like who who were the ones who are going to be at the Home Run Derby uh it looks like uh the Blue Jays one yes sir look at Don he’s like wait hold on a second I didn’t see that I was looking to looking to see who was leading uh both leagues and like what the Home Run stats were well we know Gunner up there because like you said judge has chosen not to participate and he’s one of the the Home Run leaders but um is that good or bad judgment I’ll be the judge of that all right all right it’s just you and I for the rest I know right like I mean Sweet Lord uh just that wasn’t me dude that wasn’t me Eric that wasn’t me uh name the top four home run leaders in each league for the Home Run Derby make players bow out and make them the bad guys some players won’t do it to keep up uh to keep up the image I don’t like that I like that idea like you know force them you know if you want if you want the All-Star game because we’ve been talking about this like should the All-Star Game be you know in the middle of the Season or should be at the end of the season whatever right I mean we need to be like this is this is part of it right you know like I mean if you’re going to uh if you’re going to you know say You’re Gonna participate they participate but if you’re the home run leader so far Hey listen we need you in there come on yeah I mean why would you not do it I mean that doesn’t I don’t understand well the reason is because they’re afraid they’re gonna get out of their SW you know they’re going to get bad habits from trying to pull the ball all the time that’s why a lot of them say they don’t do it is because and you’ve seen and there there’s that evidence of it that a lot of them have uh you know struggled into the second half of the season because they have not gotten out of their um you know they’ve got they’ve gotten bad H pet Alonzo the last year he won I’m not saying everyone but I’m saying there there’s evidence for some players so I mean damn it you’re a professional you can figure that [ __ ] out after that all start break thank you man fure the [ __ ] out sorry but like come on really like I mean really guys back in our day didn’t they they didn’t think like that they want they wanted to go like they’re like oh you’re in I’m in I want to take you down right you guys don’t get off of my lawn get off of my lawn back in my day that’s the way we did listen Pete Rose listen Pete Rose play that game the right way like dud was just taking people out granted he reti somebody but you know what I’m saying like that you play you play the game to play the game like I mean if you’re going to go if you are chosen by your fans to go to the allstar game you need to go stop doing this whole like you know oh you know I gotta you know I got other no stop stop so do you want Jose do you want Jose Ramirez to to to be in the Home Run Derby absolutely why not yeah I mean outside of I mean so judge and Otani are the top two home run leaders right now and they’re neither one going to do it Henderson’s in third he’s already committed so yeah Ramirez Sant s Santander ozun Bryce Harper SoDo I mean I hope some of those guys choose to play and do it so do I because if you get you get below SoDo uh or Stanton Stanton’s not gonna do it uh you get below SoDo these guys are like in the teens for home runs right now so it’s not really any Jean carum I heard is oblique so I was going to say something else but I’m going to keep it to myself about J Carlos steton anyways he half his body you know when someone gets too much Botox right and their face can’t move that’s John Carlos stting three quarters down of his body the man cannot swing you know like cannot use his hips at all to swing a b granted the dude is all yoked up right but like like I’ve never seen someone just like only use his arms to just swing a bat that’s all he uses so oh Tails Hernandez getting an invite that’ll be kind of interesting yeah I mean he’s tied for 11th so he probably will because he’s he’s tied with Stanton and ders and um yeah and he’s he’s a popular enough guy I I mean you’ve got two two Cleveland guys you got Ramirez and Naylor that are up there uh I could see I would love to see one of those too absolutely I would love to see Naylor just because Naylor is such a character yeah you know what I mean and then I also love to see uh Ramirez just so I can have Eric just talk about the fact that like if he wins he has you know what I mean it he would it would make Eric’s day I hope they hit zero home runs and then hurt themselves out for the rest I can’t stand either of them so so is it gonna be is it gonna be Jose versus Salvador Salvador is one swing away from you know being in crutches you know uh and you can’t do that salv Perez is you know how old is Salvador now like 50 years old 35 feels like he’s been around like 75 years came when he he sign when he 17 you sounded like the peanuts teacher all I heard was he’s 34 34 you were close Eric that was pretty close he’s 34 years old uh uh Cashman was right that tan would be injured yeah you know I again I you know listen if you’re you’re you know we got these players always complaining about the league and you know all of this and like this is your chance to grow your name to get your name out there uh in front of the nation because this is nationally televised why the hell are you not you know participating yeah you know what I’m saying like stop if you if if you bow out I don’t want to hear from you ever again because you lost all credibility when it comes to that well the thing is if you’re worried about your swing just go there swinging like you’re doing right now I mean you’ve hit 30 T home runs already you know just keep swinging like you’re swinging don’t be swinging like you’re trying to get it out yeah now is it only I forget the rules is there only one player per team that’s allowed to I don’t think so cuz a couple years ago they had two two players from one team I forget who it was was I mean it doesn’t matter like I mean if you go hit go hit you know yeah I forget who it was there was some somebody that was there were two players from one team sometime in the last two or three seasons because in addition to Gunner I was thinking Ryan mountcastle would be another one that I could see going into it that’ll be a good one yeah yeah also um uh Marte is a pretty good he he’s a personality that would be good for for that too yeah and he’s got 17 home runs already so oh my goodness we got a smile from Eric I would love to see uh Louis Luiz Robert again dude what about Jose br oh never mind too soon where is he at now is he anywhere I don’t know um I’ve not heard Julio Rodriguez I would love to see him again uh is pet Alonzo did he did he say he’s not doing it I haven’t heard that he not I’ve never heard Pete Alonzo ever turn down at Derby if he’s if he’s available he’s one that always say yes yeah man I we you know I I I want to see these guys you know that’s just one of those things they should bring back all the like the skills competition yeah they were um who is it talking about that recently I forget who it was um just like show does that like you know the speed and you know the puck handling and all that I just would love to see well don’t they do some of that with the Futures guys yeah but like I’m we’re talking like these the Major Leaguers right you know what I mean just to you know mic them up you know and then do stupid tricks and all that just obviously we all know it’s going to be for fun uh well just like just like the videos you’ve seen in the past of Ichiro like throwing the ball in a trash can out Outfield or or knocking down I mean if you had the some of these guys doing just some some like I’m almost tick tock tick tock type uh stuff just for fun I mean that’s going to get the younger people involved like they’re gonna be like dude did you see he just like threw six balls in the trash can from the Outfield to home play and you know they’re gonna make those into small Clips 60 seconds or less and then put them on Tic Tac put them on on YouTube Reals and things like that and why not right like I mean why not yep are the three are the three of you going to be participating in the celebrity softball game this in Texas this year or bro that

definitely spam come on now that’s right there I just had spam this morning by the way for breakfast yeah I’m probably going to have you if uh if Val can’t reach out to him you could always spam his inbox with requests so jumping to to to Professor Hatter’s comment did did you guys see the NHL draft at the sphere cuz that was insane that was badass that was they just threw that at the NFL’s face right there cuz they NFL’s probably like oh crap we didn’t do that we had the bagio in the fountains but the sphere that was fantastic gotta hand it to listen I know you don’t like I know you don’t like the commissioner Patrick I’m with you there right but that was pretty that was pardon my language there nothing cool about Gary bman no no but that was cool yeah the sphere yeah the sphere was great but Gary bman take a hike yeah I’m not disagreeing I’m not what do think it’s gonna what do you think it’s gonna take to get him out anything no if if you can find out please help me so I can carry it out listen the problem is he’s not the worst commissioner right now though well that’s the thing the NHL is actually doing pretty good is on a in on an upward trajectory right now when it comes to than but doesn’t matter though like I mean right now they’re gonna you know they’re gonna say hey what he’s done he’s done a good job no he’s not done anything right it’s just the like you said Mr Mayor in spite of him they’re doing well but right and that’s the thing he’s gonna be there because of that yeah yeah I mean he’s gonna get he’s he has a contract as long as he wants it I know that but um a professor wants to where bman touched I’m not going to respond to no but uh uh profess Professor the Atlanta Thrashers I don’t think I need to say anything more than that yeah the Atlanta trashers had one of the coolest logos man I really logo yeah and then they gave it they try to give Phoenix another shot at an NHL team I mean how why so but let’s let’s talk about something so much better than that the mighty docks dang [Laughter] Professor dude is just killing you today man Professor is on a different level so Ed what did you think about the orange on the Ducks because I know you’re a big Ducks old school color scheme you too Patrick I think I was just about to say yeah we both are like I mean Patrick more than me I I’ll say that but like I like it I don’t mind it I mean if you know it’s a it’s a good compromise of old and new you know what I mean um I just love that logo the logo will always be the best logos for the Ducks I’m glad that they put that that D that they have you know as a secondary you can put it on the shoulder pad I’m cool with that uh put the look main logo that’s that’s just the coolest thing there is man I’m buying gear I’m I’m buying gear as soon as it comes out yeah and it’s and it’s honestly not really all that new other than the logo being new because they don’t they had it I have a shirt that with it well I mean I have a they have a sweater that that they used as a third sweater for for a few years using the old original OG Mighty Ducks logo um and so they’ve always used that orange one and they’ve had they’ve used that for years but um now that now they’re making that theice primary I think is what it should have been all along and and they’re nice updated touches and um the eyebrow was updated which is cool touch on that yeah smaller triangle and um I think what what both them and the LA Kings did they they they follow a similar pattern of going rro but yet yet with some Modern touches I think both knocked it out of the like knocked it out of the park with the dude did you just get a foul ball yeah it almost hit us but give it to the kid no don’t do that don’t do that don’t do that no yeah give it to your own kid so he canid so you can keep the ball you got take your kids out there deserves hat you you got to have a pregame negotiation okay if you if I get a ball I’m gonna give it to you but when we get home that’s Dad’s ball right that’s Daddy’s ball you know that right because I’m going to date it and put it as a keep say we have we have a ton of them we have dozens of doesn’t matter doesn’t matter way spot on with this spot on bro all I know is you know I got excited you know when I got excited the most when I saw the Ducks uh re uh uh reveal when TAMU salani video came out I’m like bro here we go that’s when I got excited I’m like there goes the OG right there yeah salani Korea um oh bro man those are the days that those were my like yeah I Lov it when G like when a bear opened his a yeah dude oh man that’s that’s how back I go with with uh with fandom with the with the Ducks I’m like man and I’m you’re play-by-play caller actually uh mayor for your team he’s a massive Ducks fan oh yeah yeah yeah definitely yeah yeah John yeah I know that yeah you know uh so I I was I was super psyched you I’ve been talking to Patrick about this for like since they came out like you know before he got leaked out so I was like we’ve been both been excited about this for a while now so I’m super happy like that they they actually brought that back that was that made that made my my day we when they did that what do you think what do you think are the uh what do you think of the new Fanatics Jersey garbage I hate I hate I hate fanatic did you see they have an on ice one now for $500 get the [ __ ] out of here I mean sorry yeah the well well I don’t know like Anaheim is like doing is at least doing one like one they’re like made in Canada and it’s like an on ice one so there’s like there’s the replica and authentic but then there’s an on ice and the on Ice ones are going for $500 you have got to be out of your mind yeah there’s no way in the world there’s there’s no way in the there’s people that will buy them I’m not one of them there’s no way although I do want their uh their 30th anniversary jersey though oh the uh the yeah yeah I want that that that I want I’m not gonna lie I I want that bad so uh you know this year I’ll be rooting for the Ducks because man the you know with now that they’re back they’re back back you know although I wish they would have you know I’m hoping that they play with a purple once in a while cuz you can’t beat that purple and teal man you just can’t yeah I mean I can at least respect that the Orange is for Orange County I mean I can I I can respect I respect that yeah I got that but yeah yeah but the OG is yeah you’re never gonna be able to beat the OG for me especially like the Mighty Ducks name too I always liked it when they were the Mighty Duck not just the Ducks not the Anaheim Ducks but the Anaheim like know the Mighty Ducks the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Anaheim Mighty Ducks that was the don’t matter that was my jam oh man that was cool see you got is all asking you know talking about that now you see how excited we got yeah and I’m already on 47 looking for new hats for the Ducks yeah and by the way and let’s not to switch from hockey to baseball again but um what about what do you what did you guys think about the bismar larks and their new ultr identity ho cows was pretty cool I loved it I thought it Harry car would say holy cow is that uh what you eating there elote Eric what did he eat it looks like yes Ian it’s basically what cream corn street corn nice I’m cool with that I like it looks good yeah there he is I don’t like it D I don’t like it was that my guy Eon like there’s my guy there’s my guy Easton try it Easton try it there’s my guy give it a good bite yeah he’s like let me hold it I want to hold it that’s mine give it to me hey buddy be like here you got put that ball down yeah here let Daddy hold on the ball for you I’m going to go ahead and hold on to this baseballs while you eat that corn kid so so do do they have a tie to Harry Cary or do it even have anything to do with Harry Cary or is it just that they went with the holy cow thing I I can’t I I honestly don’t know but um do you know Brent yeah good question let us know Brent come on now [Music] it’s either that or they were kind of uh the uh the anti-dairy daddies with the holy cows that’s a good point that’s true by the way did you guys see the uh that they’re having that own the Onley fans night oh yeah they had that the other night that was 18 18 and over too yeah and half the players were playing in the dang boxer brief yep I mean listen hey if you’re gonna go it’s collegate wood bat guys it’s not like it’s going to be like you know Affiliated ball or anything like that it’s Collegiate woodb well and I like I like they just kind of like did it for a night like don’t make it a thing just like make it a one night thing like a one night stand well I mean you could be what about the Lake County Captains and the and and the toilet seats you know brought you by Roto Rudder or whatever it was that that’s smart because it’s been on CN it was on CNN it was on the news it was everywhere so like I mean that like I mean you gotta hand it to them that was like well like I I said this in our chat but I said that would have been perfect it was if it was the queen Kings because then they’d all have a row of Thrones that’s right you see again they need to be contacting us when it comes to things like this because you know we do things like that that’s right we we’re the perfect focus group we are the perfect focus group we just just I would have said I would have said that Eric was in Clinton Iowa tonight because the Clinton you know because the elote that he just had yeah we we’re going to rename for one night and one night only the focus group Sports show and then we’re just going to take all of these like you know uh Brands and then you know and then give our opinions on that there you go so how’s that love it cool love it there you go the W ducks are playing a game in Lake County Captain Stadium mid July that’s East uh East I I from what I’ve heard since they with with new ownership they’ve done a whole a lot better with that with that stadium so I’m glad that you know because before it was you know but there you go b shape oh God yeah yeah yeah they put a lot of they put a lot of money into it you can tell with the different sweets and everything they’ve done I mean it’s good for them the value of that team skyrocketed well yeah because they know because they know what they’re doing whether whether you like their social media presence or if you whether you whether you approve or not of their at least admittedly edgy uh promotions at times but it gets it gets it gets clicks it gets eyes yeah I mean and the the thing is whether it’s good or bad if if you’re being talked about it’s press That’s what you got who they are that don’t know who their probably their local team is so well yeah I mean let’s I mean look at last season when they had uh the the toys RS draft right I mean the one or or their own version of it yeah Jeffrey Jeffrey kind of doing his own thing shall we say but I mean again it works right it does especially time right especially in a time where like you know you got Diamond baseball Holdings is you know raking up like you know teams after teams after teams these guys were like no we’re good we’re going to do our own thing yep yep so Charlotte you know Charlotte kns was the that’s the latest one that’s you know got swallowed up by Diamond Holdings that’s a big acquisition too that’s a big one yeah and here’s the thing on this one this gives me hope that now Charlotte is no longer in the running for a a a major league team because Diamond Holdings would not be investing that much money in purchasing a team like that in that area if they did think that there was going to be you know what I mean like so now they’re like all right now we we know that Major League base is not coming to Charlotte maybe Raleigh right as a as a as as a you know possible place because they’re spending a lot of money buying that team yeah yep so and we’ll see I mean I mean a lot of places I’m sorry in a lot of places Diamond Holdings has done some good stuff yeah they they’ve gotten away from the from the apparent club name which I I’m happy for because I you know how we all feel about that right as far as like you know the having a parent name should never happen yeah yeah yeah well I was just gonna say the Braves will be complete uh there’ll be no more like for a team that had all Braves names at one point the Braves will officially have no affiliates with that name starting in 25 with the with the with Columbus um they’ve they’ve now uh renamed the stadium it’s not going to be Golden Park anymore it’s going to be sovis sovis Park um so it’s already got a new corporate name with the with the groundbreaking that they had a couple of weeks ago and so um you uh Mississippi Braves that’s right the Mississippi Braves you’re right you’re right so the so the so the uh the Columbus whatever the new name will be because it will not be the Braves um it’s going to be interesting to see what happens with that so um I’m interested to see in the future if dbh um goes for any Cubs Affiliates or if they’ll even be able to get a Cubs Affiliates I’ll be I’ll be surprised if they do but I didn’t think they’d get the Charlotte Knights either so yeah we’ll see what happens true and to Zach’s point I don’t know if that they’ll worry about college I mean they’re they’re they’re all about the minor leagues I don’t think they’re going to worry about some I think I think there’s something going on between Major League Baseball and Diamond Holdings yeah oh well yeah there there is yeah so I don’t know what that is I’m just I’m just speculating we’re just a show you know speculating here like I mean I don’t know Patrick you may not want know more than I do when it comes to that but like I just I just don’t don’t feel like you know uh that Collegiate woodb is in the ra is on the radar I think it’s more of the no uh the Affiliated for more more B major league baseball control yeah yeah you got to wonder is there going to be a point where they like major league would Major League Baseball say okay that’s enough teams for you to own or if they don’t care I don’t think they care they probably don’t my guess is that I don’t think they they give two [ __ ] that’s less people they got to deal with oh yeah I agree yeah so guys it’s the top of the hour can you believe this time flies when we’re having fun I know man it’s Mo I mean it’s mow through it I know bring back the Columbus catfish yeah man I thought that you uh mayor I thought you were going for another one we were talking earlier about the the holy cows and I thought you were saying we just moved through [Laughter] that no I wasn’t even thinking that I you know I I was slow I was slow got tongue there so that’s why it kind of came out weird I thought that maybe you were just going for it you waiting to see if I if I caught that one that Mo moved by quickly yeah yeah oh great hey last games for the road trip for Mr Phil July 3rd amarela poodles July 4th the Texas Rangers and the frisco Road riters oh we doing a double header on July 4th bro oh

was cool with him and that was a good touch but that’s so that’s so deserved I mean Rick oh yeah Rick Rick embodies iron Hood like iron Pig’s fandom I mean and Philly’s fandom I mean he let me tell you though like I mean you know we were talking about like you there’s too many identities from the Iron Pigs I know why now after this interview with him and all that it’s makes sense yeah like I mean okay it does I I can’t say anything bad about the Iron Pigs or like you know like no luch there’s luch is a man yeah but I’m saying but like there’s a method to the madness with luch I mean he knows oh 100% yeah there’s a method to it I mean he he he’s got a pulse on on how this works I mean yeah from previous experience where he used to work at you know to and you’ll hear it on the on the interview next week the part one obviously but I’m telling you like I mean it’s there is like like you were saying Patrick there’s a method to the madness and is so genius so simple and yet so genius
