Four o'clock hour, hi, how are ya? Chris Elo, Tony Gwen Jr., Mr. Scrabie, Gwen and Chris on 97.3, the fan Tony, as mentioned earlier, had to, he's got to get down to the Big Soiree being going on tonight at Petco Park. None of us, that includes all of you listeners, are invited to. Only the biggest and brightest get to go to this thing. And they raise a whole bunch of money and ludicrous as playing while they eat five star food on the diamond at Petco Park and dress up and have themselves quite an evening, quite an evening. Swaree, I said Swaree. Oh, you did? I did, I already used that word. Maybe that's why I used it, 'cause you thought you'd heard it somewhere? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, so Tony's headed down there, but we did do the Big Five. And so you'll hear him on that. Coming up at the bottom of this hour, right now it is, oh, there go the phone lines. They're ready to roll. Chris versus the fans is coming up. Before we get to it, quick update, Wimbledon today, Scrabie, you know, I watch this stuff. I mean, it starts at five in the morning. I do, you know, set the DVR. Oh, you kidding me? Yeah, I like it. I love Wimbledon and I watch the semifinals today. Two really exciting matches. The first one was most exciting. This young lady, Jasmine Paolini, from Italy. You've been talking about her. I have, she made the finals at the French Open. Well, now she's made the finals at Wimbledon. That is not something that happens very often, 'cause they're two totally different surfaces, right? One's clay court, one's grass court. And very few players are good on both courts. The last player to make the final in both of those two tournaments in the same year was Serena. And you have to go back 20 years for it. Actually go back, let's see. Yeah, 2006. So it's been a long time. Paolini trailed in her match against unceded Donna Vekich of the Czech Republic, but Paolini came back and the final set went to a tie break. And you have to win by two. She won 10 points to eight. So it took three hours. Very exciting semifinal. Paolini to the final will take on Barbara Kretchikova for the title. Kretchikova, former French Open winner herself, knocked out the 2022 Wimbledon champ, Alaina Rebakana in three sets. I'm just doing all of this to try and show off my ability to pronounce tennis names. I was just thinking like, whoa, whoa. We're going deep into this. Here we are, Kretchikova, Rebakana. Yeah, it was quite the little lineup. So tomorrow's the men's semifinals. And we'll see the Joker in action and others. I have a quick thing for Manny. Jocelyn, one of our great listeners, just put this in the chat at the Manny camp today. Manny Machado gave each kid a 480 kids, a big box of 2024 tops cards, totally unexpected. And all of these kids are really happy. Oh, wait, say this again. Manny Machado has a Manny camp today. What do you have? It's just a one day camp? I don't know. Jocelyn, let us know. Yeah. But Manny, tell us what the event's about. 480, a big box of 2024 tops cards. Hi, first of all, a box of tops cards in this day and age is going for a few hundo. I mean, it depends on its own. Yeah. And how many was it, 480 kids? 480. So, you know, that was a pricey gift. But beyond being a pricey gift, oh, if I was a kid and you just gave me a box of unopened baseball cards. From Manny Machado? Sweet. I had a great, quite a great gift. I can't stand these people that say Manny is a selfish person because he's not selfish. Manny does so much stuff that he doesn't ever publicize. He does some selfish things. But that doesn't mean you're a selfish person. What do you mean? I don't know. Honestly, I don't know why I said that. Because he is Manny Machado. Yeah. You know, come on. It is one day Jocelyn says. And I have one day camp and these kids, five inner kids show up and he guides them all a box of baseball cards. What's his kid was at the camp. That's why he was not at the round table. So there you go. Awesome. Well, since Woods was not at the round table, Woods's kid has to bring the box of cards to us. So you can go through them. I'll tell you one thing. I'm 100 years old. But if you, you know, if you gave me a box of unopened tops trading cards right now, I'd probably go home and open them all. And just enjoy it. Like I would imagine the sorting, like for you, as a guy who is very neat and tidy, the sorting that you must do. Here's my sorting process for baseball cards. Oh no. It's by team. OK, that's awesome. But I don't put a pile of 30 different piles all over the place. This is where we're going. This is where we're going. I put the teams in their divisions on the floor. And so the Dodger pile is next to the Padre pile. Next to the giant. Or a blankie or a standing? No. OK. But I will put all the N.L. West teams in one row. N.L. Central in another row. That's funny. That's what I do when I short cards. But it's been a long time since I've been through a box of baseball cards. I would love to do that. As a matter of fact, I might just have to go out and buy a box just to have the fun of doing it. Remember during COVID, I brought in all those cards that I found? And I would just-- To last. We would play games like I would read off stuff on the baseball card and you'd try to guess them. It wasn't that fun of a game. We were desperate to do anything during that time. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, it was fun going through the cards. I never was a card guy as a kid. I was more of a football card guy. I think a pack of baseball cards opening that up was about one of the funnest things you could do for the longest time in my life. And I'm not saying that you're old. But when you were doing it as a kid, it was. No, it was. And it was only a quarter of a dime even. So it was affordable. If I went on and bought a box of top's new trading cards right now, somebody chat, how much would that be? I didn't even know. Let's see. It'd be a lot. A lot more than I'd be really wanting to spend. Just to get a Gavin Lux card or something. You don't want to get out of me. It says that I just typed in top's 24 box of trading cards. One retail value box, $24.99. No, no. That's what it says? I don't think so. On Amazon. All right, how many packs are in there? Seven packs. Oh, no, I need like-- I'm thinking-- Seven packs, 12 cards per pack. That's a lot of cards. That's not enough. That's 84 cards. OK, I'll be straight with you. When I did tops, boxes of cards, you got 24 packs with 10 or 15 cards in each pack. OK, so this one is a 2024 top series one baseball retail display, 20 packs per box, $67. I'll think about it. I mean, that-- Chris, I can tell you right now, I'm looking at this box. I think that'd be a funny present to get me for, you know-- Done. Next time. Done. There's a present given. Done. The box of baseball cards. He's kind of Chris. As when I got the upper deck Griffey rookie, I unpacked at the card shop when I was a kid. It was the highlight of my life. Wow, that's-- I mean, that's not-- And I'm not even going to be too. Yeah, I'm not going to make fun of that. I can see that because, you know, it's just-- there's something about wanting a certain card and it pops into view. There's something about that moment. You can get qualified right now for a trip to the Rio Las Vegas, including a two-night stay dinner for two in the day bed at the Rio pool. The Rio Las Vegas is back, baby.

Well, I hope you know what you're in for. Chris versus the fans starts now on 97.3, the fan. All right, before we get into this, Chris, I received a DM from our guy, Gonzo today. Yes. And our guy, Gonzo won the Vegas prize for June. All right. So congratulations, Gonzo. Very good. Awesome. You were on your way to Vegas. He actually sent me the DM saying, is this real? Because it does seem like kind of crazy that you just get a free trip, but yes, it is real. So good for you, Gonzo. And I think Gonzo only played once. And he was able to win. I would like to say one last thing on the baseball cards. Yes. Here's the 1975 tops complete set in mint condition, which in at one point in my life, I would have definitely owned 10 times over, right? When I was a kid, I must have had every one of these cards 10 times over the complete set mint condition on sale right now, eBay, $11,000. Oh my gosh. What was I thinking? Oh my gosh. I mean, I had it five times over, Scrabie. I could be selling this and paying your salary. Oh my gosh. I'm paying my salary. Yeah. Well, no, you're going to have money left over if you're paying my salary then $11,000 was too much. Yeah, I messed that up. I'm not saying that cards are bad. I just do not get it. You don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get it. Yeah, you just don't get that. A lot of people don't get that you wouldn't get it. Yeah. All right, here we go. Get the rules. I forgot we're playing a game here. You have to make it through three questions. Each question's going to get more difficult. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get it wrong and Chris gets right, you're eliminated. But if Chris gets it wrong, then you move on to the next question or you win. If you're a first time player, let us know before you get into the first question and you will get that question for free. So let's start with someone's name. I don't know that we have ever seen before, but we'll see you here in a second. Scott, are you there? Hey, Scott. I am here. All right, Scott, are you joining us for the first time? So I'll tell you one thing. I have somebody sitting next to me. My son, Curran, you remember him about a year ago. I do. He was the youngest winner ever. Yeah, I do remember that. So it's we got Scott and Curran, right? Yeah, so we'll be a second time player. Yeah, perfect. All right, here we go, guys. Question number-- Well, thanks for calling in, guys. Good luck. [MUSIC PLAYING] Uh, which Nola, brother, pitches for the Phillies? Uh, no, not the Aaron Nola. [LAUGHS] What did Curran say? He said Austin. Oh, he did. He's not a boy, Curran. Scott was like, no! No! All right, let's go to the next question. Question number two. Curran said Austin-- Curran said Aaron Nola is pitching today. He is, he's pitching right now. He is, and top of the fourth, Phillies, two Dodgers. Nothing. Nothing. Yeah. There we go. All right, question number two, which manager was ejected 161 times in his career, which is a major league record? [MUSIC PLAYING] Uh, Curran's not going to know. So I will go with, uh, Lou Panella. Lou Panella. Pretty good guess. Yeah, he got fiery. He got some memorable ejections for sure. [BUZZER] Stay there. I don't know the Christmas-- No, I do know this one. You do, OK. I believe it's Bobby Cox as the record holder in that category. Yeah. Sorry about that, guys, but thanks for calling in. Thank you, Curran. Curran, you're now the youngest ever to lose in Christmas of the fans. Poor Curran. Along with paying the youngest ever to win. Hey, if there's any-- If there's any mom, son, mom, daughter, dad, son, dad, daughter groups that want to play, please give us a call because that's always very fun. That was fun. All right, let's go to our next contestant. We will go to Ron. Hello, Ron. How you doing? How you doing? Hey, Ron. Are you ready to play, Ron? I am ready to play. OK. He was going somewhere else. Ron has been on before, and I think you always stick an NBA question on him, and he-- Is that true, Ron? Is that you, Ron? I actually feel like a couple of runs. And I'm a winner a couple of times. You have won a couple. All right, all right. Here we go. Here we go. What team does Closer Mason Miller play for? Fair question? I don't know. OK. That's unfortunate. I would guess it's correct. Whoa, you buzzed him. He said he didn't know. He could have guessed a team. Do you want to guess one team for the hell of it? Colorado. Colorado. That is a nondescript team, to be sure. But it is-- I mean, Chris has the A's. But maybe not for long. They may trade him. As a matter of fact, Jackson Merrill had a game-winning home run off of him. He did. When they were here in San Diego. You sure did. But he's on the All-Star team. Is he not? I think he is for sure. Mason Miller? I honestly don't know. I'm pretty sure he is. All right. Let's go to our next contestant. We're going to go to Lucas. Hello, Lucas. Hey, Lucas. What's up, fellas? How you doing? You guys are very good. Good to have you with us. Here we go. Question number one. [MUSIC PLAYING] What NFL team is going to be featured on Hard Knocks this season? Uh, I believe it was the-- Hey, the Chiefs. Go on with the Chiefs on this one. Unfortunately, that is incorrect. And I know Chris knows. No, I don't. What? I thought it was the-- I was going to say, don't-- this is not my answer. I would have said the Giants. But now the Giants are on this off season, Hard Knocks. And I'm trying to think whether they're going to stay with the Giants or if they chose another team. I just took it off of you. But yes, there is another team. That is another team. Yes. OK, so it's not the Giants. No. Because the Giants are in the current edition. Yes. The in-season team this year is-- I don't know. Yeah. I was going to say no. Like, I don't want to guess what I know for a fact I'm wrong. But I guess I'm going to have to say the Texans. I don't know. Texans? Yeah, I don't know. Good for you, Lucas. You move on, who is it? The Chicago Bears. The Bears. I did hear that. Comment. Yeah, I remember Kayla Williams, all that stuff. Yeah, Bears. Right now it's the Giants, though, in the off-season edition. Yeah, I need to watch a little bit of that. You'll like it. All right, here we go. Question number two. I'm going to give you these players' names. You tell me what team they've played for. Carlos Beltron, Lance Lin, Lance Berkman. Carlos Beltron, Lance Lin, Lance Berkman. What team do they play on together? [MUSIC PLAYING] The Yankees. Stay there. Cardinals? I think. Cardinals is correct. Sorry about that, Lucas. I wasn't positive about Beltron. But I knew Berkman snuck over to the Cardinals. Yeah, I never knew that Carlos Beltron played for the Cardinals. Yeah. And Lance Lin, I know, is a Cardinal. All right, by the way, there was a funny-- what's that, the tweet guy that reads lips? What's his-- Oh, John Boy. John Boy. He did a tweet on Lance Lin pitching, and somebody for the Marlins beat out a bunt against him. Really? And then he struck out the side. And as he's walking off the mound, Lance Lin is going, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah. And John Boy tells you what he's saying. No, you're lip-reeds. Or lip-reeds. And it's all bad language, but it's hilarious. Lance Lin, let's just say, did not like the fact that jazz chism bunted against him. Oh, gosh. Yes. And he was like, furious? Furious. And swearing up a storm as he came off the mound. I do not get these guys who you can't butt against them. Like, get over yourself. I agree with you. All right, one last one, because we got a lot to fit in this hour. So here is our next contestant. Let's go to Matt. How's it going, Matt? Hey, what's up, guys? Not too much. Here we go. Question number one. What NBA team had the first overall pick in this year's draft? This year. This year. Whoo! What's in the pit, Ben? What's going on with Washington? Washington. Washington. Washington. Yeah. Sorry, Matt. Chris, do you know? Hawks. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, because Adam Klug was not pleased. Sorry, Matt. And then again, when is Adam Klug pleased? He loves his Atlanta sports. He doesn't love his Hawks. He doesn't know you're right about that. All right, my-- let's see, my-- I'm going to go jail in Brown, because I just looked up at ESPN as your random player. Random player, OK. We're going to do a tiebreaker tiebreaker. So I got him up. Let's go to-- give me a number, Chris. Oh. Yeah, roll the die. Number one. Number one. Terry. Terry, Terry, you're up. Do you know how to play the tiebreaker? Terry. Terry. Hello. All right, Terry's not there. Let me roll again. Quickly. Two. Two. We're going in order apparently. Hello, Miguel. Are you there? Hi, Miguel. How's it going? How's it going? Have you heard the tiebreaker before? Yeah. OK. Perfect. He's good. I'm not going to try to explain it, so. Here we go. Chris, Jalen Brown has been in the NBA for-- Why want to tell me? One, two, three, four, five, six, nine seasons. Nine seasons for Jalen. Nine seasons, OK? How many threes has he made in his career? What's a lot of three, OK? 80 games, 2 and 1/2 per game. That's 200 a year. Nine seasons? 1,200. Wait, one, two, three-- I'm saying 1,500 regardless. 1,500, OK. Miguel, is the actual answer higher or lower? Lower. Lower. Do I know numbers today, Chris? I do. You are correct, Miguel. I love it, people are excited again. And he's made 1,028 threes. Oh, not quite as far short of 1,500 as it turns out. So here we go. All right, we'll take a break. We got to stay right there. I'm traffic. Yeah, hang on there, Miguel. You're the winner today. Hopefully, you'll eventually be going to Las Vegas. Right now, we are going to a quick time out. I do it while making coffee. I do it in the car. I do it when the kids are asleep.

We've done your homework. All right, 4.27 is the time for you to settle. Tony McJunior, Matt Scrabie. Tony's down at the Petco Park. Big Padre Swari tonight. Padre's are back in action tomorrow night against the Hot Land of Braves. Braves are actually playing a little bit better. They're the top wild card right now in the National League. The Cardinals are the number two wild card. The Padre's no longer the number three wild card. Yeah, they fell a percentage point behind. The Metropolitan's. Where is our guy Frank Marquesi now? I mean, he gave up the season a month and a half ago on the Mets. Remember that? Oh, yeah. Totally gave up, and he's like the biggest Met fan. And he's like, oh, we can't win. We never do it. Right now, the Mets are ahead of the Padres by a percentage point. They beat the nats today. Seven nothing update. Philly's two Dodgers one. All solo home runs in this game. Trey Turner, Brandon Marsh for the Phillies. Gavin Lux just left the yard for the Dodgers. We got our big five. And then after that, don't forget the Padre Roundtable with all of us. That'll be between five and six. It's a commercial free hour of nothing but Padre talk. And then from six to seven, it's Matt Scrabie and the Scrabie Chronicles. Yes, sir. I got an amazing daily grape today. Can I get a hint? You know, I mean, you know-- I'll tell you in the break. But it's something that was very sad. And it's not actually sad, but it was sad. I'll tell you in the break. Yeah, I can't go anywhere unless I hear OK. I can't return for the big five. Unless I know what the Scrabie is going to be. But you have to return for the big five. It's coming up next on Gwen and Chris. Yeah, it's feeling pretty good until I heard that Jim Rome thing there. Now my oblique is killing me. I wasn't listening. What does it say? Well, he's talking about a story that came out today. I'm on Ross St. Brown. Oh, yeah. The Great Lions receiver, OK. Played the second half of last season with his oblique torn muscle torn completely off the bone. Oh. Played the whole season or three quarters of the season with that. Oh my gosh. They said he's got an oblique injury. He goes out there every Sunday in place. You know, I'm not weak. We you you. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You more than us, you make fun of athletes who are in your mind a little wimpy. Like Tyler Glass now is going to sit out the next six and a half years because he's got a back tightness. But I'm on Ross St. Brown playing a whole season for most of it with a torn off the bone oblique muscle. That's pretty good. Makes the baseball players look real wimpy. Soft. Soft, I say. I mean, you sneeze and you feel your oblique in there out for eight weeks. Speaking of soft, Zach Wheeler the latest to miss a scheduled start. And oblique for the Phillies. No, his back hurts. He saw probably saw Tyler Glass now getting some time off with that excuse. You know, I decided on the same thing. I woke up my back. It's just a little tight. I'm out for a month. Just a little tight. Take me out, coach. Take me out. Yeah, that's not how the old song went. Take me out, coach. I'm ready to sit on the bed. Famous song. All right, here we go. Traffic. And then today's big old five. It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports, only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news stories will astound and amaze you. The one, the only. Oh, my God. Who the hell cares? The big five starts now on 97.3, the fan. I got to tell you, Chris. We said it a couple times today, but it is very nice when Tony is back in studio with us. It's the best. I enjoy being back in. Yeah, I miss the air guitar. I miss all of that. That is the fun part. I'm not trying to jump ahead here, but that is fun part to there being no baseball. It's that we are in studio a little bit more. Not saying I want the season in, because I've been joining the season. We hope we don't see you again until November. We don't want to see you in four games. I'm enjoying the season, Brady. Listen to what he said. We're not going to see you till November. I'm expecting another long run. But we did try to make up for yesterday by bringing our dogs in, and it just didn't happen. It was great. My dog slept the entire time. Your dog was fine. My dog was barking the entire time. My dog is no longer going to be allowed. She got on the show a little bit. Oh, Lucky might be coming on a daily basis now, because he just sits in the corner and he's fine. I wouldn't have-- everything I know about Lucky would not have pointed me in the direction of he just slept. Really? Oh, yeah, I do tell you a lot. You tell us about the whole-- I mean, I know there's no mud in here. He's an older gentleman now. And so he's a little bit more calm, yes. He's much, well, yeah. The comparison and calm between your dog and my dog is no comparison. That was very fun, though, getting in there. Yeah, it was fun having a man. All right, I was listening to Jesse and Scam last night in the drive home when they were calling the game between the Padres and the Manners. And they were talking about Wikesock's Closer. That was a hard thing to say. Michael Copac, in his feet of closing out a game with an Immaculate inning, which is, if you don't know, you get nine pitches, nine strikes, three outs. That's why it's Immaculate. That was the 113th Immaculate inning of all time. And Jesse brought up that there have been 323 no hitters in baseball history. So those numbers show the Immaculate inning is much more difficult to accomplish than the no hitter. Tony, why do you think this is more rare than a no hitter? I mean, there's a specific circumstance that has to take place. I mean, think about that. Nine pitches, nine strikes, nine punch outs. Yeah. I mean, when you think of it, and that turns, right? I mean, a foul ball could just change that. You could go, oh, two guy can foul a pitch off. That's the end of it. A bad, dumb guy. It takes some luck, you know. I think for-- It would never happen under Angel Hernandez's watch. Right, the umpire, right, the umpire behind you may call the first pitch of the game right down the middle ball. You never even know if you get a chance to get an Immaculate. I just think there's so many things that have to go your way from that standpoint. Whereas, you know, over the course of a nine inning game, you can maneuver your way to no hits if you're just, if you're really good. And even those take a little bit of luck. There's usually a few plays that are made in those occasions. So, yeah, I think it's just tough. And the way, you know, pitching is done now, I would say it's probably even tougher, right? 'Cause guys don't have the pinpoint control. So now you're dependent on the hitter chasing a little bit. Yeah, Chris. I don't understand why there has been more immaculate innings. I don't know if you heard that or not, but-- I did, okay. That's more you talking to me. No, I don't know why I said your name and then play the Angel Hernandez thing. Oh, I will just join to-- That's me off. Yeah, I don't really quite know. I would expect there to have been more immaculate innings, but there isn't. You know, to me, the best-- I mean, this is impressive that Copac did this, et cetera. Especially impressive for him, 'cause he normally doesn't get too many guys out. I know that, you know, as a White Sox don't have a lot of chances to close games. But to me, the most impressive strikeout thing that I've seen this year is still easily Jeremiah, Jeremy Estrada. I mean, getting 13 consecutive batters to strike out. That, I mean, you talk about just somebody, you know, squibbing one in front of the plate over the course of four games, so. It's impressive. I mean, he had consecutive strikeouts, but if I'm not mistaken, those weren't one, two, three innings in each of those. For Jeremiah? For Jeremiah. I think the three of them were one, two, three innings, and the other was were parts of innings. If I'm not mistaken. No, he never had an immaculate. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And that's, you know, I think that speaks to Wyatt. It's so difficult. I mean, he comes in for two thirds of an inning. He strikes those two guys out, and he continues to do it, but, you know, it's not an immaculate inning. It just gots to line up. This is a very interesting conversation thing, I guess, today. I appreciate it. Chris, Mountain West media-- How about Jesse having the stat handy of how many know where he does it? Are you kidding? I mean, let's not overlook the fact that he always has that stuff. I'm sitting in the car, and he's like, there's almost been a double the immaculate innings, and I was like, I wonder if he knows the number, and then he said, there's been this many immaculate innings. Of course he did. I guarantee you that immaculate inning happened. He saw it, and then that was the next thought. Right. I wonder how many-- you know what? This would be perfect for a certain point in the game, and then he goes to do the research, and he's got it all handy. You know, I've snuck into the booth a few times, and I will share this. I hope I'm not talking out of school. I don't think I am. Jesse, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, Tony, has three or maybe even four computer monitors open at one time during the game. So it's unbelievable to me how much-- and then he has his written notes in front of him, and his scorecard. So he's only got two arms, but he's able to operate this stuff all at the same time. He has his computer. He's got his little iPad. In that computer, in that laptop that he has on his left, he's got about three different windows open. And each one of the windows-- I mean, one of the windows is just statistics and little tidbits on every guy that's on the other roster. So he's prepared. It's not surprising that he sounds as good as he does. I used to make boards for a former host in town that was affiliated with the Chargers. His color analyst boards. And it would take me six days to put this board together because of how much information is on there. And you may never even use any of that as a thing. So all right, back to number four, Chris. Mountain West Media Day happened or is happening this week. And the Aztecs didn't really get much love. They are predicted to finish 8th. And for the first time in a long time, no Aztecs are on the all-conference team, the preseason all-conference team. Do you think this is accurate, Chris? Well, probably. Well, I hope it's not accurate. I hope the eighth place part is not accurate. And I'm pretty sure that by season's end, the Aztecs always have enough talent. They'll find somebody on their way to the all-conference team. But I do think it serves as a little bit of a reminder of the season's less than two months away, of how much Sean Lewis work he still has to do. This team has fallen from grace. I mean, they were consistently contending for a Mountain West championship with all kinds of all-conference players for a decade or more, with Brady and then with Rocky Long. And then even when Brady came back, but all of a sudden, last year, it fell, and it fell hard. I think they went two and six in the conference. So just a reminder, you know, if Sean Lewis gets them into contention this year, he's doing a hell of a job. Tony, do you think this is accurate from the preseason Mountain West? Yeah, as Chris said, I hope not. I hope when it's all said and done, you know, when the season ends, we got a few guys on that first team. That being said, this team is coming off one of their lowest years and quite some time. And so, you know, and with so many, you know, so transfers coming in, I think it's fair not for them necessarily to have guys that are up on, you know, first team, second team preseason picks, but I'm excited for this season. And for the first time in a long time, I don't know what to expect at all. And in some ways, that's kind of interesting, right? It's like a clean canvas for Coach Lewis to now, you know, go out and build, draw whatever he wants to. And so I'm excited. We'll see how it goes. But yeah, I am enjoying the state of, I don't know. - That's where we all are. - I don't know. - Yeah, that's interesting. 'Cause that makes me extremely uncomfortable. - Well, based on where we were. - Yes, but you're a Glaaf, half-empty guy. - A Glaaf? - What's a Glaaf? - You know what he meant. - It's a cousin of a Glaaf. (laughing) - All right, well, we'll see. After meeting those guys earlier in the week. - Did I really say Glaaf? - Yes, you did. - You stopped yourself, but you did say Glaaf. - Yeah, but after meeting those kids, I'm pretty excited about this. - Yeah, we had those kids on Monday and they were great fun talking about the Aztecs. And I know they're excited, so why shouldn't we be? All right, number three. - Speaking of media days, during big 12 media days, Mike Gundy, the head coach of Oklahoma State, addressed why he opted not to punish start running back Ollie Gordon the second who had been arrested for driving under the influence. Gundy explained, he figured that Gordon had drank two to four beers, but here's the full thing, and people are kind of questioning this. - Let me hear it. So I looked it up on my phone. What would be the legal limit? Like in Oklahoma is 0.08 and Ollie was 0.1. So I looked it up and it was based on body weight, not to get into the legal side of it, but I thought really two or three beers or four. I'm not just fine with what Ollie did, I'm telling you what decision I made. Well, I thought I probably done that a thousand times in my life and it was just fine. So I got lucky, people get lucky. Ollie made a decision that he wished he could have done better, but when I talked to Ollie, I told him, I said, you're lucky, you got out light. - So that's what he said, and people are like, what? You just condoned drinking and driving. He did make a statement later on X saying, my intended point today at Big 12 Media Day was that we are all guilty of making bad decisions. It was not a reference to something specific. So as you can tell, this is a lot, but Tony, did he make a mistake by saying this? - His point that he was, basically he was saying he deserved another chance, right? But he was very poor in how he delivered it. - I drank four beers right in the home before. - And I just got lucky, I was driving drunk and I just got lucky. - I'll take you for your word that that's not what your intention was, but that's certainly how it sounded. When you were, you looked up, okay, it's .08, he was one. So how many more beers is that than the legal limits? - I drank a couple of beers too many. - Right, and so in a day, at least in Gundy's time of, well, he probably still haven't four beers. - He can't drive it to this day. - But just to take it back when he was a young man, they didn't have services like Uber very easily to have you, to take you someplace, right? - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, so I think ultimately his delivery was extremely poor and considering that he is a leader of young men, I would expect a little bit more, but this is also the same individual that gave us the spectacular rant of I'm 40. - I'm a man. - I'm a man. - I'm 40. - So, I mean... - Chris, do you know what we're talking about? He gave me this look like he had no idea what the, I'm a man, I'm 40. - He definitely knows what we're talking about. - Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out, I'm trying to figure out how old he is now and why he doesn't know better than to say, the absolutely stupid remarks that he said. I mean, this has got to go down as one of the dumbest things I've ever heard a leader of young men ever say. You're a largely college audience, you know, and you're telling them, it's quite all right, we all do it, go out and have three or four beers and drive. You might get lucky like me. - You might get lucky like me like I did. I cannot believe this guy honestly said this. And furthermore, he brought this young man to the media day. - He said it was kind of his punishment. He's not allowed to hide from everyone. - I see, sure. That's his punishment. - Yeah, why don't you come with me and enjoy the media day? - Did he let him get up on the thing and get some questions? - You know, I honestly don't know, but like this is, this is, boy, I gotta be honest with you, there's got to be an AD somewhere who would think this is almost a fireable offense to say something this stupid. I'm being honest with you, I don't know where that AD is, but Mike Gundy's lucky that it's not his AD. - You have to wonder, right? I mean, I don't think Mike Van Gundy, or Mike Van Gundy, Mike Gundy has been in any way. - Oh, I said Van Gundy too. - That's where you got me on yours. - The glove is half full. - Mike Gundy, I don't know that he's done anything that has warranted him getting in trouble or anything, but clearly, he's been there for a long time. - A long time. - You know, whatever AD is there is not disappointed in the work that he is putting out, so. - Yeah. - He should be disappointed in that though. - Ollie Gordon did speak to the media, I'm seeing some clips on that. - So, I mean, just on from the specific point of he brought him there for punishment, I don't mind him bringing him and then putting him up there, so he had to answer some questions and, you know, hopefully did a better job than his head coach did in terms of answering those questions. - I left this fact. - I bet you he did too. - I left this fact out until the end, but many are pointing to the fact that when you're 20 years old, your limit is 0.000. - That's, it's not technically 0.00, but. - I didn't realize he was a 21. - I didn't realize he was a 21. - Yeah, thanks for leaving that out, so that we can comment on it, yes, yes. - It was three. - I already hit that one. - Number two. - All right, so here's a social media interaction between a major league baseball player and a fan, and then I'll ask you something after, but it comes from Corrin Tom on X at Tom Foolery, if you would like to go see this, but he tweeted, "Do you think even Whitmerafield's "family buys his jersey? "He just can't seem to get it going in Philly." And he tagged Whitmerafield in between. - Oh, he was trying to be, you know what? So Whitmerafield replied. He said, "Obviously not." In fact, they all changed their last name by May 1st, hoping to get them to change back by October. They did buy all three of my all-star jerseys, though, which is a good comeback. - Very good. - And then Corrin Tom comes back and said, "What I said was mean, but I'm really just hoping "for more production at the plate. "Defense is solid, go Phillies." Which is a back, back, back, back, back. - That's one of my favorites right there. - Oh, he replied to me, now I'm gonna be nice. - Oh, you feel, this is where the human side kicks in and you're like, oh, I didn't know that he was actually going to see this. - Really? - He reads this stuff. - Now I feel like, you know what? - Yeah, and Whitmerafield did reply again, but it was more of like, hey, I don't want to make outs. I'm trying out here where I'll try and blah, blah, blah. - You know, good for, you know, you are a great individual for even giving this guy or gal the time of day. - Tom Foolery. - Well, I think he did it because he wanted to get the all-star jersey line in, which was really good. - So, the question is, because I came across this from someone posted this whole conversation and said, "It's incredibly ignorant "that a fan tags an athlete in a nasty tweet. "Being critical is one thing, but tagging them in it is evil." So, Chris, is tagging an athlete in a mean tweet evil? - Evil? - Nah, I don't think so in this day and age. And I understand-- - That's a little bar. - Right. - I think that, you know, athletes have a right to be tagged and to find out what people are saying about them if they so choose to. I do think the majority of these guys, do they look at all this? Do they all look at it? - I think they all. - You know, I mean, we see it. Look, we see it when we get tagged on the radio station for saying something that somebody doesn't like and you feel some type of way. It's best not to, yeah, mostly mean, I get it. - I point it. - But it's-- - I got one a couple weeks ago. - You know, it's-- - Really? - You know, once in a while, I never try to engage 'cause it just seems to make things worse. I think in this case, Whitmerfield had a pretty good comeback and, you know, I think it was fair. But, I mean, it's also Philadelphia fans, right? I mean, they're pretty intense. - They are. What do you think, Tony? - I think he's an athlete. - I think he's an athlete. - I agree. - You're going, here's a chance where, you know, Twitter is set up to where you can talk behind you, somebody's back. - Yeah, oh yeah. - And it's perfectly fine. They probably will never see. - They have to search their own name if they're not doing it. - But for you to then turn around and tag them in it, means you want them to see it. But if you are gonna be that person that tags somebody, stand on it, stand on it, don't do the backtracking, don't do it, don't do the moon walk, stand on it. If you send a tweet out that says, "I wonder if Whit Maryfield's family buys his jersey." - It's really aggressive. - And he replies back, don't turn into, oh, that was really mean of me. Stand on it, stand on what you said. I had it happen to me a couple weeks ago, and I positive the person didn't think I was going to reply or see it. Happened to be doing the TV game the other, last the series before, I think it was against Milwaukee, and somebody had said they enjoyed me being on there, and he left the, what was it, the gift of a kind of, - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And I just said, hey, and I did my Whit Maryfield. I said, you know, you can always tune in to 97.3 to fan. We got two terrific broadcasters over there in Jesse Agler and Bob Scanner. - Nice job. - Very good. - That is a way to handle it. - He also-- - That's one way to handle it back. The other way to handle it is what the old giant shortstop Johnny LaMaster did back in the day before. - Oh, yeah, Johnny LaMaster. - Do you remember Johnny LaMaster? - No, I don't. - Really? - No, I just love how we always have to go back to some obscure player from the 70s. - Well, I have to go back to it, 'cause that's the guy who's part of the story of your master. You know Johnny has it, no, I don't know much. - Johnny LaMaster, the giant fans used to call him Johnny the disaster. He wasn't good about 190. He was really a punch and duty player. - I do it while making coffee. - I do it in the car. - I do it when the kids are asleep. - What are they all doing? - Using DermaClara's 100% medical grade silicone patches, safe, natural and effective, these patches start showing results in just 20 minutes per use.

I miss all of them. - That is the fun part. You know, I'm not trying to jump ahead here, but that is fun part to, there'd be no baseball. It's that we are in studio a little bit more. Not saying I want the season in, 'cause I'm enjoying the season. - We hope we don't see you again until November. - We don't want to see you in four games? - I'm enjoying the season, Scrady. - Listen to what he said. We're not gonna see you till November. I'm expecting another long run, but we did try to make up for yesterday by bringing our dogs in, and it just didn't happen. - It was great. My dog slept the entire time. - Your dog was fine. My dog-- - Chris's dog was barking the entire time. - My dog is no longer gonna be allowed to. - She got on the show a little bit. - Oh, Lucky might be coming on a daily basis now, 'cause he just sits in the corner and he's fine. - I wouldn't have, everything I know about Lucky would not have pointed me in the direction of he just slept. - Really? Oh yeah, I do tell you a lot. - You tell us about the whole mind. I mean, I know there's no mud in here. - He's an older gentleman now, and so he's a little bit more calm, yes. - He's much, well, yeah. The comparison and calm between your dog and my dog is no comparison. - That was fun. - Very fun, though, getting in there. - It was fun having a man. All right, I was listening to Jesse and Scam last night in the drive home when they were calling the game between the Padres and the Mariners, and they were talking about Wyksock's closer. That was a hard thing to say. Michael Copac, in his feet of closing out a game with an immaculate inning, which is, if you don't know, you get nine pitches, nine strikes, three outs, that's why it's immaculate. That was the 113th immaculate inning of all time, and Jesse brought up that there have been 323 no hitters in baseball history. So those numbers show the immaculate inning is much more difficult to accomplish than the no hitter. Tony, why do you think this is more rare than a no hitter? - I mean, there's a specific circumstance that has to take place. I mean, think about that. Nine pitches, nine strikes, nine punch outs. I mean, when you think of it, and that turns, right? I mean, a foul ball could just change that. You can go, oh, two guy can foul a pitch off. That's the end of it. - A bad dumb part of the ball. - It takes some luck, you know? I think for-- - It would never happen under Angel Hernandez's watch. - Right, the umpire behind you may call the first pitch of the game right down the middle ball. You never even know if you get a chance to get an immaculate. I just think there's so many things that have to go your way from that standpoint. Whereas, you know, over the course of a nine inning game, you can maneuver your way to no hits if you're just, if you're really good. And even those take a little bit of luck. There's usually a few plays that are made in those occasions. So, yeah, I think it's just tough. And the way, you know, pitching is done now, I would say it's probably even tougher, right? 'Cause guys don't have the pinpoint control. So now you're dependent on the hitter chasing a little bit. - Yeah, Chris. - I don't understand why there has been more immaculate than this. - I don't know if you heard that or not, but-- - I did, okay. - It's more you talking to me. - No, I don't know why I said you was-- - I didn't play the Angel Hernandez thing. - Oh, I did, okay. - That's jointed on that. - That's moving me off. Yeah, I don't really quite know. I would expect there to have been more immaculate innings, but there isn't. You know, to me, the best, I mean, this is impressive that Copac did this, et cetera. Especially impressive for him, 'cause he normally doesn't get too many guys out. I know that, you know, as a White Sox don't have a lot of chances to close games, but to me, the most impressive strikeout thing that I've seen this year is still easily Jeremiah. Jeremy Estrada, I mean, getting 13 consecutive batters to strike out. That, I mean, you talk about just somebody, you know, squibbing one in front of the plate over the course of four games, so it's impressive. - I mean, he had consecutive strikeouts, but if I'm not mistaken, those weren't one, two, three innings in each of those. - For Jeremiah? - For Jeremiah. - I think the three of them were one, two, three innings, and the other was were parts of innings. - If I'm not mistaken. - Yeah. - No, he never had an immaculate. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And that's, you know, I think that speaks to why it's so difficult. I mean, he comes in for two-thirds of it in each. He strikes those two guys out, and he continues to do it, but, you know, it's not an immaculate inning. It just got to line up. - This is a very interesting conversation they had yesterday. I appreciated it. Chris, Mountain West media be-- - How about Jesse having the stat handy of how many now-- - Of course he does. - Are you kidding? - I mean, let's not overlook the fact that he always has that stuff. - I'm sitting in the car, and he's like, there's almost been, or a double the immaculate innings, and I was like, I wonder if he knows the number, and then he said, there's been this many immaculate innings. - Of course he did. - I guarantee you that immaculate inning happened.

I hope I'm not talking out of school. I don't think I am. Jesse, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, Tony, has three, or maybe even four, computer monitors open at one time during the game. So it's unbelievable to me how much, and then he has his written notes in front of him, and his scorecard, so he's only got two arms, but he's able to operate this stuff all at the same time. - He has his computer, he's got his little iPad. Like in that computer, in that laptop that he has on his left, he's got about three different windows open. - Yeah. - And each one of the windows, I mean, one of the windows is like just statistics, and little tidbits on every guy that's on the other roster. - Oh, so he's, yeah, he's prepared. - It's not surprising that he sounds as good as he does. - I used to make boards for a former host in town that was affiliated with the Chargers, his like color analyst boards. - Right. - And it would take me six days to put this board together because of how much information is on there, and you may never even use any of that as a thing. So, all right, back to number four, Chris. Mountain West Media Day happened, or is happening this week, and the Aztecs didn't really get much love. They were predicted to finish eighth, and for the first time in the long time, no Aztecs are on the all-conference team, the preseason all-conference team. Do you think this is accurate, Chris? - Well, probably. Well, I hope it's not accurate. I hope the eighth place part is not accurate. And I'm pretty sure that by season's end, the Aztecs always have enough talent. They'll find somebody on their way to the all-conference team. But I do think it serves as a little bit of a reminder of, you know, the season's less than two months away, of how much Sean Lewis work he still has, you know, he has to do. You know, this team has fallen from grace. I mean, they were, you know, consistently, you know, contending for a Mountain West championship with all kinds of all-conference players for, you know, a decade or more, you know, with Brady, and then with Rocky Long and then even when Brady came back, but all of a sudden, you know, last year, it fell, and it fell hard. I think they went two and six in the conference. So just a reminder, you know, if Sean Lewis gets them into contention this year, he's doing a hell of a job. - Tony, do you think this is accurate from the preseason Mountain West? - Yeah, as Chris said, I hope not. I hope when it's all said and done, you know, when the season ends, we got a few guys on that, on that first team. That being said, this team is coming off one of their lowest years and quite some time. And so, you know, and with so many, you know, so transfers coming in, I think it's fair not for them, not necessarily to have guys that are up on, you know, first team, second team preseason picks, but I'm excited for this season. And for the first time in a long time, I don't know what to expect at all. And in some ways, that's kind of interesting, right? It's like a clean canvas for Coach Lewis to now, you know, go out and build, draw, whatever he wants to. And so I'm excited. We'll see how it goes. But yeah, I am enjoying the state of, I don't know. - That's where we all are. - I don't know. - Yeah. - That's interesting 'cause that makes me extremely uncomfortable. - Well, based on where we were. - Yes, but you're a Glaaf, half-empty guy. - A Glaaf? - What's a Glaaf? - You know what he meant. - It's a cousin of a Glaaf. - All right, well, we'll see. After meeting those guys earlier in the week. - Did I really say Glaaf? - Yes, you did. - You stopped yourself, but you did say Glaaf. - Yeah, but after meeting those kids, I'm pretty excited about this. - Yeah, we had those kids on Monday and they were great, fun talking about the Aztecs. - I know they're excited, so why shouldn't we be? - Right. Number three. - Speaking of media days, during big 12 media days, Mike Gundy, the head coach of Oklahoma State, addressed why he opted not to punish start running back Ollie Gordon II who had been arrested for driving under the influence. Gundy explained he figured that Gordon had drank two to four beers, but here's the full thing and people are kind of questioning this. - Let me hear it. - So I looked it up on my phone. What would be the legal limit? Like in Oklahoma is 0.08 and Ollie was 0.1. So I looked it up and it was based on body weight, not to get into the legal side of it, but I thought really two or three beers or four. I'm not just fine with what Ollie did. I'm telling you what decision I made. Well, I thought I'd probably done that a thousand times in my life. And it was just fine. So I got lucky, people get lucky. Ollie made a decision that he wished he could have done better. But when I talked to Ollie, I told him, I said, you're lucky, you got out light. - So that's what he said. And people are like, what? You just condoned drinking and driving. He did make a statement later on X saying my intended point today at Big 12 Media Day was that we are all guilty of making bad decisions. It was not a reference to something specific. - So as you can tell, this is a lot, but Tony, did he make a mistake by saying this? - His point that he was, basically he was saying he deserved another chance, right? But he was very poor in how he delivered it. - I drank four beers right at home before. - And I just got lucky. I was driving drunk and I just got lucky. - I'll take you for your word that that's not what your intention was, but that's certainly how it sounded when you looked up, okay, it's .08, he was one. So how many more beers is that than the legal limits? - I drank a couple of beers too many. - Right, and so in a day, at least in Gundy's time of, well, he probably still having four beers. - He can't try it to his take. But just to take it back when he was a young man, they didn't have services like Uber very easily to-- - Oh yeah. - Have you, to take you someplace, right? - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, so I think ultimately his delivery was extremely poor and considering that he is a leader of young men, I would expect a little bit more, but this is also the same individual that gave us the spectacular rant of I'm 40. - I'm a man. - I'm a man. - I'm 40. - So, I mean-- - Chris, do you know what we're talking about? He gave me this look. I had no idea what the-- - I mean, definitely knows what we're talking about. - Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out-- - Oh, okay. - I'm trying to figure out how old he is now and why he doesn't know better than to say the absolutely stupid remarks that he said. I mean, this has got to go down as one of the dumbest things I've ever heard a leader of young men ever say. You're a largely college audience, you know, and you're telling them, it's quite all right. We all do it. We all go out and have three or four beers and drive. You might get lucky like me. - You might get lucky like I did. I cannot believe this guy honestly said this. And furthermore, he brought this young man to the media day. - That was kind of his punishment. He's not allowed to hide from the room. - I see, sure. - That's his punishment. - Yeah, why don't you come with me and enjoy the media day. - Did he let him get up on the thing and get some questions? - You know, I honestly don't know, but this is-- I'm going to be honest with you. There's got to be an AD somewhere who would think this is almost a fireable offense to say something. This stupid, I'm being honest with you. I don't know where that AD is, but Mike Gundy's lucky that it's not his AD. - You have to wonder, right? I mean, I don't think Meg Van Gundy, or Meg Van Gundy, Mike Gundy has been in any-- - Oh, I said Van Gundy too. - That's where it got me on yours. - But the glove is half full. - Mike Gundy, I don't know that he's done anything that has warranted him getting in trouble or anything, but clearly he's been there for a long time. - A long time. - You know, whatever AD is there is not disappointed in the work that he is putting out, so. - Yeah. - He should be disappointed in that though. - Ollie Gordon did speak to the media. I'm seeing some clips on that. - So, I mean, just on from the specific point of he brought him there for punishment, I don't mind him bringing him and then putting him up there so he had to answer some questions and, you know, hopefully did a better job than his head coach did in terms of answering his facts. - I left this fact. - I betcha he did. - I betcha he did too. - I left this fact out until the end, but many are pointing to the fact that when you're 20 years old, your limit is 0.0000. - That's-- - It's not technically 0.00, but-- - I didn't realize he was a 21. - I didn't realize he was a 21. - Yeah, thanks for leaving that out, so we can comment on it, yes, yes. - Number three. - I already hit that one. - Number two. - All right, so here's a social media interaction between a major league baseball player and a fan, and then I'll ask you something after, but it comes from Corin Tom on X, @TomFoolery, if you would like to go see this, but he tweeted, "Do you think even Whit Marifield's family buys his jersey? He just can't seem to get it going in Philly." And he tagged Whit Marifield in between. - Oh, he was trying to be a-- - You know what? - So Whit Marifield replied. He said, "Obviously not." In fact, they all changed their last name by May 1st, hoping to get them to change it back by October. They did buy all three of my all-star jerseys, though, which is a good comeback. - Very good. - And then Corin Tom comes back and said, "What I said was mean, but I'm really just hoping for more production at the plate. Defense is solid. Go Phillies." Which is a back, back, back, back, track. - That's one of my favorites right there. - Oh, he replied to me now I'm gonna be nice. - Oh, you feel-- This is where the human side kicks in and you're like, "Oh, I didn't know that he was actually going to send this." - Really? - He reads this stuff. - Now I feel like you know what? - Yeah, and Whit Marifield did reply again, but it was more of like, "Hey, I don't want to make outs. I'm trying out here. We're all trying blah, blah, blah, blah." - You know, you know what? You are a great individual for even giving this guy or gal the time of day. - Tom Foolery? - Well, I think he did it because he wanted to get the All Star Jersey line in, which was really good. - So the question is because I came across this from someone posted this whole conversation and said, "It's incredibly ignorant that a fan tags an athlete in a nasty tweet, being critical is one thing, but tagging them in it is evil." So Chris is tagging an athlete in a mean tweet evil. - Evil? - Nah, I don't think so in this day and age. And I understand-- - That's a little bar. - Right, I think that, you know, athletes have a right to be tagged and to find out what people are saying about them if they so choose to. I do think the majority of these guys, do they look at all this? Do they all look at it? - I think they all. - You know, I mean, we see it. Look, we see it when we get tagged on the radio station for saying something that somebody doesn't like and you feel some type of way. It's best not to, yeah, mostly me. - I get it. I point it. - I just got one a couple weeks ago. - Really? - You know, once in a while, I never try to engage 'cause it just seems to make things worse. I think in this case, Whitmerfield had a pretty good comeback and, you know, I think it was fair. But I mean, it's also Philadelphia fans, right? I mean, they're pretty intense. - They are. What do you think, Tony? - I think he's an athlete. - I think he's an athlete. - I agree. - You're going, here's a chance where, you know, Twitter is set up to where you can talk behind you, somebody's back. - Yeah, oh yeah. - And it's perfectly fine. They probably will never see. - They have to search their own name. - But for you to then turn around and tag them in it means you want them to see it. But if you are gonna be that person that tags somebody, stand on it, stand on it. Don't do the backtracking. Don't do it, don't do the moonwalk, stand on it. If you send a tweet out that says, I wonder if Whitmerryfield's family buys his jersey. - It's really aggressive. - And he replies back, don't turn into, oh, that was really mean of me. Stand on it, stand on what you said. I had it happen to me a couple weeks ago and I positive the person didn't think I was going to reply or see it. Happened to be doing the TV game the other, last the series before, I think it was against Milwaukee. And somebody had said they enjoyed me being on there and he left the, what was it, the gift of Evaconda? - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And I just said, hey, and I did my Whitmerryfield. I said, you know, you can always tune in to 97.3 to fan. We got two terrific broadcasters over there in Jesse Agler and Bob Scanlon. - Nice job, very good. - That is a way to handle it. - That's one way to handle it back. The other way to handle it is what the old giant shortstop Johnny LeMaster did back in the day before. - Oh, yeah, Johnny LeMaster. - Do you remember Johnny LeMaster? - No, I don't. - Really? No, I just love how we always have to go back to some obscure player from the set. - Well, I have to go back to it 'cause that's the guy who was part of the story. - Oh, sorry, you're a master. You know Johnny doesn't? No, I don't know. - Johnny LeMaster, the giant fans used to call him Johnny the disaster. He only hit about 190. He was really a punch and Judy player, but he got booed so often at Candlestick Park back in the day that he just went out one night with a jersey instead of LeMaster said boo. - That's pretty good. - So it was a good story. That's why I had to go back. Sorry. - You booed. - You passed. - Thank you. I didn't do a good job last week because someone was tweeting me about how I was terrible on the air and I decided to quote tweet him and all this other stuff, which only strengthened his opinion to all the people who replied. I was like, wow, usually this is like the Whitmerrfield thing. They go, hey, I'm sorry. - That's his called standing on business. - Yeah. - He stood on business. - On Friday, the show was called, it's the glorified Padre's Homer and doesn't know anything about baseball show. - Oh, that was you being, that was you doing your Joker. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - Impression there. - Petty, Petty Scravey. - And then halfway through the weekend, I was like, I really need to get over this too. Like he has gotten in my head. - He's still in him. - Sounds like it. - No, he's not in anymore, but he definitely was. - No one. - All right, so at the Minnesota State Fair, our fair just left thankfully, so I don't have to deal with that traffic anymore. But Darren Ravel tweeted this out. He said, "New at the Minnesota State Fair, deep-fried ranch dressing." Here is the picture, everyone. - Yeah. - "Deep-fried ranch dressing." I would eat this. - Is there any cheese in there or anything? - It just would be ranch. - Yes, yes, yes. - I think Tony is up first here. I think I've already heard what he's not going to even try one. Are you gonna try one of these? - He'll crack one of those things open and all that spill out. (grunting) - Warm ranch. (laughing) - Chris, Chris is really-- - I thought you were gonna ask me what the most disgusting thing I could think of that somebody could deep-fry. - No, you could deep-fry anything. - I guess you could. - How do you even get that to stay in there? - I don't know, but they have deep-fried Kool-Aid at the fair. They have stuff like that. It's supposed to be cold now. - I remember deep-fried butter coming to the fair. - Yeah, that's pretty crazy. - It's pretty crazy. - I don't know. - Are people eat this though? - I'm not, but a lot of people do. That's why they keep making this stuff. - I'm taking in. - Do we not have the most unhealthy country in the world? - Without a doubt. - We have to. - Without a doubt. - There's no way at a state fair or a city fair in a fair restaurant. - We're frying your hands. - They're making deep-fried ranch dressing. - We're frying ranch and butter. - And people are eating it. - Yeah, let's show. - People get healthy out there, please. - Go do SD fat loss. You won't be eating deep-fried ranch balls ever. - Again. - Don't save that club. - Oh, man. - All right. That's it for the Big Five. And that's it for the show, guys. We have the round table replay coming up next and then tomorrow we have. - It's a relatively mild round table. - Mild round table. - No fights, no arguments.
