Hour number three here on 97-3, the fancris solo. Tony Gwen Jr., champion once again after an outstanding matchup in the fantabulous sports game show. Reynaldo Lopez winds up being the Lynch pin answer that wins it for Tony Gwen Jr. and loses it for Matt Scrabby. Just holding my head down right now. I did check your sheet between the break and you did have his name written down. I did. So you had just thought of it that instant. Yep. And then wrote it down and then Tony guessed it. Yep. And that was the winning guess. Yeah. That's going to hurt a little bit. It's going to sting for a little bit. Sorry about that. Thirty-five all-stars. Now there's a thirty-six because Hunter Green has been added in replacing the injured Tyler Glass now who according to the Scrabby Chronicles is not injured at all. The Dodger is just using a fugazi trip to the injured list to buy him some rest. And I hate to say I agree with him. It just, it makes too much sense. So God has never pitched more than 120 innings. He's already at 109. So strike up the conspiracy music. Glass now goes to the injury list just so he can rest a little bit. If this was like, I don't know, say September, are we doing this? Probably not Chris. Probably not. I don't know that you're wrong on this one Scrab. I don't know that you're wrong. Thank you. I mean, look, the Dodgers did offer a pretty weak excuse for why he's going on the injured list. He hurt his back playing catch. Like, really? I mean, I'm not even an athlete. I don't hurt my back playing catch every week for everybody throws a ball around. Yeah. You know, you don't throw your back out. Playing catch is a really ridiculous thing to say. Fugazi. Fugazi. Fugazi. Phillies have reactivated Bryce Harper and Kyle Swarber. So those two sluggers are back for the National League's best team, or at least the one with the best record. Some other baseball news for you. On this Tuesday, we gave you a couple of things, Rafael Devers, out of the All-Star game. Why? You didn't hear it the first time. He's got a shoulder problem. So the Red Sox are going to be missing him. And I think that's kind of all I have for you right now. And you know why? Because my computer screen is stuck. So I can't find it anymore. Yeah. Okay. You can find a couple of more notes, but my computer screen completely stuck there for a moment. Oh, yeah. Your camera is bugging. It happens. Phil Maiton. Remember him? Yeah. Podray Reliever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to the Mets. Okay. They just got him from the Tampa Bay Rays. Yeah. I don't know that that immediately turns the Mets into World Series contenders, but it does help them in the bullpen. And we mentioned this earlier, but Guardians 3B Jose Ramirez becomes the sixth to be named a contender in this year's home run Derby, the Derby, the Derby, which is on Monday in Major League Baseball. All right. Padres and Mariners coming up 630 this evening, Logan Gilbert, speaking of all stars, he would have been an answer had we've been looking at American League all stars, he'll be pitching against a Padres young right hander, Adam Major tonight out at the ballpark. Every game show was Sam Levitt 530 following our show. Oh my gosh, Chris, did you hear you didn't hear this? So last Wednesday, after we did our show, right? Because you were done for you, you were onto your weekend. I was. I absentmindedly took the laptop charger from here and put it in my bag and I get a text from our guy, Nick Tenucci, like 20 minutes later, Hey man, do you know where the laptop charger is? And I'm like, because you got to have that, this is do not move. Do not move. What part of that? Did you not understand when you moved it? No, it wasn't showing. If this was showing, I would have not taken it. Oh, the other side was turned up. Apparently I kicked Sam Levitt off of the, the, the YouTube because because I took the charger and the computer died and I, Sam to his credit has never said anything to me about this. It's the listeners that have told me all about this. I feel really bad stuff. So you, you torpedoed his pregame show last week. Basically. Yes. Well done. And I know how serious Sam gets. Well, he also does an outstanding job and well, he'll put that to the test this afternoon when he pre games, the Padre Mariner showdown for tonight. I believe it'll be Jesse and scan on the radio call tonight. I'm only saying that because Tony told us he'll be on TV this evening. One last thing about that story that so I had to turn around, but I was already on the freeway. It was Wednesday before 4th of July and I was about 10 miles away. It took me. You turned around and brought it back to they had no chargers here. Wow. And it was one of the most frustrating things because it was all my fault. I could only blame myself. Yep. All right. As long as you look in the mirror, all right, with all of that as a lead in, I remind you that before the show is over today, you're going to have a chance to win a pair of Padre tickets to tomorrow's game against the Mariners. First 40,000 fans tomorrow will receive Padre throwback hats celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1984 World Series team. Get tickets at Padre's dot com slash tickets. That's later right now. It's Chris verse of the fans. All right. Chance for you to be qualified to win a trip to the Rio Las Vegas, including a two night stay dinner for two day bed at the Rio pool.

I every time you say the rhythm, I always say, rhythm's going to get coming in. Yes. I don't know where my well, you said the rhythm and that's my brain. That's your rhythm. That's your rhythm. All right. You have to make it through three questions. Each question is going to get more difficult. If you get the question right, you move on. If you get it wrong and Chris gets it right, you're eliminated. But if Chris gets it wrong, then he move on to the next question or you win. If you're a first time player, let us know before the first question and you will get that one for free. Let's go to our first contestant will be Bill and San Diego. Bill hello. Hey, Bill. Hey, how you guys doing? Pretty good. Sure. Pretty good. Here we go. We're going to get into it's question number one in 2014 at the age of 26. It's which Dodger became the youngest pitcher to win his third career Cy Young Award. Kershaw. Kershaw. Very good. Kershaw. Yes. Resciences. You have a fourth? Yes. I don't know if he does actually. I'll look it up. Okay. Move on with the game. Here we go. Question number two, Bill. There are only two Padres players who have had a season with the Padres. With an OPS over 1000. Name both. In the history of the team, in the history of the team, only two guys have done it in an entire season. Oh, good. This one, I like old Kevin Eddy and Bond. Interesting guess might be right. Who is this? Oh, Bond. I thought you said bonds. I'm like, he doesn't play for the Padres. Go ahead. All right. Stay there, Bill. Stay there. Okay. OPS over 1000. And two Padres who have ever done it. I thought Greg Vaughn was a really good guess, and I thought Camonini was a really good guess. So I got to go with, you know, one of those two, and I'm going to just, for the hell of it, go with Tony is another, and I'll say Tony Gwen and Ken Camonini. Oh, I'm sorry, Bill. I'm so sorry. When did Tony make it, was it the 391 year? I would have to go. I'll look it up. I don't want it going on. Kurt Schaus got three Cy Youngs. I looked that up, so he doesn't have a fourth. And I'll look Tony up real quick while you move on to the next contestant. Yes. We're going to go to Luke in San Diego. Tony's. Sorry, Luke. Tony. Yes. Tony's OPS over 1000 was in 94. The Erie hit 394. Okay. Okay. Luke. How are you? Luke got to know that radio, please. Turn the radio down. Luke. Oh, you're way behind. Luke's going to hear in a second me calling him on. He's turning the radio down. It's the first job of a sports radio caller, but I should add that to our rules. Keep your radio down. Yeah. Maybe you should mention that next time. Here we go to our next contestant. Yeah. Luke. Luke's still lost out. He's going to be like, oh, that's me. No, you're not there anymore. Emilio. Hey, Emilio. Emilio's here. All right. Emilio. Way to go. Here we go. Question number one. Yeah. Former college basketball player, Zach Eddy, played for Purdue, but was drafted by which NBA team? Tricky. Could be tricky. What was the name? Zach Eddy. Zach Eddy. Do you like that? Zach Eddy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Damn. How do we get the basketball question? I'm going to go with the 76ers. The 76ers. Emilia is not a basketball guy, obviously. Sorry, Emilia. Sorry about that, Emilia. Made his debut last night for the Memphis Grizzlies and had a double double. Sorry about that. So we did well in the summer. I'm sorry, Emilia. That's too bad. Yes. If you hit your recall, Emilia, don't go basketball on him. Oh, Emilia hung up on himself. Emilia, if you're still listening, just tell us next time. I promised I would never, I wouldn't give you a basketball. We wouldn't do it on purpose, Emilia. It's always the look of the draw. It is. Emilia. Did you say something about his tip in last night? No, but it tied the game like in the final seconds and then... There were 0.8 seconds left. And then Anna Blusing. There was a free throw. There was a couple free throws and... Oh, the team ended up losing, but Zach Eddy just goes out of nowhere with his long arms and just tips it back in. Save the day. He was heroic there for a moment. Yeah, they say that his debut was very strong. You know, it's funny as I was kind of originally rooting against Zach Eddy. He needed to do well in the pros. Now I'm really rooting for him to do well in the pros because I kind of want some sort of semblance of an inside game. I don't like what the Celtics have done to basketball. Somehow this got back to the Celtics. Yes, this did. I don't like... Didn't start coming. You know, chucking up 83 pointers a game and that winning you a championship. But it did. So, I mean, I have to like it. Right. Let's try Luke again. Hey, oh, you're going to take another shot. Yeah, Luke. Are you there? Oh, boy. Luke, get to radio down and you're good to go. Yes. Can you hear us? Yep. All right. He's good to go. All right. Here we go. Luke, is there anything you need to tell me? Uh, you know, it might not be the best at basketball, but I'll give it a shot. Oh, okay. No, no, no. I was going to say something else. But here we go. Luke. Also, it is my first time. There we go. First time. That's what's... That's what Scravie was hinting at. So you are a first time player. You go right to category two or less level two. What no longer standing MLB stadium has hosted the most all star games in major league history. Oh, shoot. Thank you for playing that word. Um, good, Luke. I'm going to say the polo grounds. I have no idea. The polo grounds. That's a longer standard. You stay there. Oh, you like it because you play in the... I'll be the champion thing. No longer standing. That's a good one. It's a good one. Scravie. Stay there, Luke, because I think you got a good chance to move on. I don't know why I keep popping into my head, but I only remember one all-star game there. Tiger Stadium. Tiger Stadium. Yeah. Wow. What is it? Old Yankee Stadium. Oh, I think that was kind of a tricky one. Kind of a tricky one, but I think he's a hint of no longer standing. No, that was good. I actually thought I know Yankee Stadium, Old Yankee, and I dismissed it. I will give Brandon on the chat credit because he typed that before he had time to look that up. Good job. All right. Here we go, Luke. Question number three. Get this right. Last Vegas. The last all-star game to have a lead-off homerun happened in 2015. Who was the batter? Oh, man. 2015 lead-off. Lead-off. I remember Tiger this, and he's a tiger, so I'm thinking back in 2015, maybe he was there, Austin Jackson, completely random name. That is a random name. Also kind of weird that you said Tiger Stadium, he's a Tigers fan. What was it? It was a lead-off homerun. The last all-star game to have a lead-off homerun happened in 2015. I honestly remember the guy, like, walking up and hitting a homerun, but I just can't think of who it is. Yeah. 2011. Yeah. No, Julio Rodriguez wasn't even playing yet, at least make a decent game. Mike Trout. Oh, wow. I just threw a name haphazardly out there. I was already getting the form for you to win this so unlucky, Luke. That is very unlucky. If you are the unluckiest guy ever. That is very unlucky. I just honestly threw a name out there. I had no clue. Yeah, Mike Trout did. Oh, he did. Wow. Sorry about that, Luke. That's too bad, Luke. All right. We got a good tiebreaker tiebreaker. Those are the breaks of the game. Who do we just... The breaks of the game? I just denied the guy who tripped the Las Vegas with a ridiculous pull out of nowhere. Who should our random athlete be? Oh. Ben Ogilvy. Wow. I'm talking. You said round him. Yeah, you did. Even here. O-G-I-L-V-I-E. Okay, I got it. I got it. Rocky Brewer, Slugger, Detroit Tiger, and Boston Red Sox. Right. But he was a more famous as a member of Bambi's Bombers. There were nicknames that were on a different level than that. They had great names back then. The 82 Brewers had a lot of home runs. Their manager was George Bamburger. So they referred to them as Bambi's Bombers. They also called him Harvey's Wallbangers. I remember you saying they were like last week. When they were managed by Harvey Keene. So they had two good nicknames back in those days. Ben Ogilvy was part of that. All right. Mr. Ogilvy getting a mention today. Yes. Let's go to Jason in Marietta. Jason, have you ever played the tiebreaker before? No, first time player. Oh, all right. We'll save that for next time. Now, you're still in the game here. But the next time you call in for the regular part of the game, you'll still be a first time player. Yeah. So the rules are this. I'm going to ask Chris a question. He's going to have to give me a number. He's going to be a stat. You guess whether Chris's answer is higher or lower than the actual number. No. Can I mess that up again? I'll give an answer. You guess whether the real answer is higher or lower. Sorry about that. All right. You'll see how it works. Yeah. Here we go. Create the question. How many? I'm just going to go right for it. Right. How many home runs did Ben Ogilvy hit? 16 years. 16 year career hit 226 home runs. That's not correct. I said 226 home runs for Ben Ogilvy. Okay. The question is that that's not correct. Jason. Yes, Jason. Is the actual answer higher or lower than 226 for Ben Ogilvy's home runs? I'm going to say lower. He's going to say lower. He's going to say lower. He's right. He got it. Yes. How many did Ben hit? Stay right there, Jason. The answer is higher. He got it wrong. Wait. What did you say? I said 226. Oh my gosh. I'm sorry about that, Jason. I just, I just, see. This confused me. I was looking at the clock and seeing how late we are. I was getting crazy. No. No. Give it to Jason. All right. You gave him the prize. Scrappy is the screw up of the day. Hey. Jason wins the prize on a crazy edition of Christmas of the fans. We got to check traffic though right now. 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?

He's also doing his play by play, but he is so perfect for WWE because he makes everything more exciting than it actually is. I don't know his breathless announcing style will work perfectly for WWE. I didn't know that Pat McAfee is an announcer for Monday Night Raw. They're thinking they have two different shows and they have Ron and SmackDown and they're thinking that Joe Testator is going to do SmackDown. Whatever. I honestly can't keep up with all of it. I think we're supposed to talk about sports on this show. That's my argument against talking about WWE stuff. Is sports though? Sure it is. Sports entertainment because those guys are some of the most in gals or some of the most athletic people on the planet, Chris, try to do some of the stuff that they do and you can't. I don't want to do some of the stuff that they do. I just looked up all the training camp dates. Do you think the Houston Texans are a little perturbed that the veterans are have to be there the same days, the rookies. Wonder why that is everywhere else. Yeah, by the way, did you hear about the hurricane in Houston? There's a hurricane. Is it barrels? Yes. Something like that. Yeah, it's it's happening. I mean, it's caused some deaths. Yeah, no, it's bad. It's related. I mean, it's been a very bad hurricane tore some of the tiles off the roof at the Houston Texans Stadium energy stadium, which is hosted the Super Bowl in the past. Yeah, that's crazy. So that's a strong storm, really. That's us. You know, another another good reason to live in San Diego, where I don't see too many hurricanes charging through town often, but we did have a hurricane watch last year. And I remember that we had so upset, so mad because nothing happened and we run hurricane watch. And I mean, Lori practically had us lying under a mattress in the bathtub. We were so worried about it. Wait, you did not. We didn't do it, but I said she practically had us doing that real quick because we were supposed to be so scared of this hurricane that turned into like the sky spitting on us for two hours. Brandon has a great reason as to why the veterans have to come in the same day as the rookies. The Texans are in the Hall of Fame game. They're playing the playing on August 1st. Very good. Brandon, you're you're Brandon. You're on it. You're scoring today, man. All right. Good job, Brandon. A segment there, a little longer one now. When we return, it's the big five minder, stay tuned an hour from right now. It's the eco water. So Cal Padres pregame show with Sam Levitt, it's after this program on 97 three, the fan also coming up between now and then chance for you to win two tickets to tomorrow's game between the Padres and Mariners. Make sure you stay tuned for your opportunity coming up in the next 60 minutes, probably a little, you know, sooner than that. So don't go anywhere and take a shot. You might get to go to the game tomorrow. We're going to do some big five now. 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 new stories will astound and amaze you the one, the only, oh my God. Who the hell cash the big five starts now on 97 three, the fan. All right. Nice to have Tony back for the big five and we're going to start with something slightly controversial today. And I don't, you know, I don't mean to be sensationalist about this, but I did see a lot of conversation. It's actually all about the home run Derby and the selection of Marcelo Zuna. Now we know the past, but I will explain. Oh, Zuna has been arrested twice before for domestic violence related defenses. He was reinstated majorly baseball after charges were dropped and he completed a pretrial diversion program for police. I know where you think I'm going guys. But yes, there are many tentacles that go in the Trevor Bauer direction, but many think major league baseball could have avoided any of this conversation just by asking someone else. Tony, should major league baseball have asked someone else to participate? I mean, to me, this doesn't make any sense, right? I mean, he's already an all star. So it's okay to be an all star. We just don't want you to be in the home run Derby. Like, I don't know what's the, what is the, what are you trying to accomplish by not having him there? Because guess what? Come all star game, um, they're going to have the starting lineups and they're going to actually run out to the starting line or be out on the line in which his name will be mentioned. So I think this is, uh, I'll say that I understand it, but what I gather is that they're putting him on a, they're, they're basically like saying, Hey, look at this great guy. This is what I think that's, that's not what they're doing though. They're, they're picking contestants for a home run Derby. Clearly they, not everybody wants to do it as we know. And so they probably asked guys that said they wanted to do it or we're willing to participate. I don't think major league baseball is trying to say, Hey, this guy is an awesome guy. He's out hitting home runs. I just think they need somebody or they wanted to take people who will want it to participate. Uh, Chris major league baseball, vast as someone else to participate. Well, first of all, I'm just thinking of one name in particular, but Josh Hamilton had plenty of do demons, uh, different demons, but demons nonetheless and, uh, was, uh, celebrated as a home run Derby participant several years ago, champion, et cetera, all time record performance. Uh, here's the simple difference between Marcello Zuna and Trevor Bauer. Marcello Zuna is deemed by baseball to have done whatever it is necessary for them to welcome him back to the game. He has done whatever he's needed to legally to be a free man and have taken care of whatever responsibilities he had there. And baseball deems him to be, uh, you know, eligible to play baseball does not deem Trevor Bauer to be eligible to play. And, you know, so as long as that's the case, Marcello Zuna should be eligible to take part in a contest like this and Trevor Bauer should continue to stay where he does. And I don't really have a problem with Trevor Bauer staying where he does. I, I'm a little tired of every single time somebody, you know, I don't know, scratches somebody behind the ears. You know, it's like, oh, we got to let Trevor Bauer back in the game, I guess. You know, no, we don't have to let him back in the game. And, uh, you know, baseball's, I don't know, are we missing him that badly? To be fair, Major League Baseball has hasn't deemed him not worthy of playing Major League Baseball teams and owners who have to rewrite it. Yeah. Have said it to this point, no, thank you. So, you know, take that for what you will take that for data. That's right. I think that's the number one question in my DMS the past week or two is should the Padres bring in Trevor Bauer. We've already talked about it. And here's your number one answer. Okay. Number four. We're going to move on, Chris. Number four. I brought this up on the scraping show last night and wanted to get your guys opinion. Apparently Joe, uh, bangles quarterback Joe Burrow and I think alike. He recently said if the NFL goes to an 18 game regular season, he would like to see the NFL Institute two by weeks with one of those occurring at week 13 for every single team, then during that by week, there would be the pro bowl festivities and it will feel more like the NBA all star weekend and all of that. So Chris, do you think this is a good idea if they go to 18 regular season games? I think if Joe Burrow didn't already have enough money, he ought to consider running for player commissioner, I think it makes perfect sense. First of all, the two by weeks, I believe has been done before in the NFL. Yeah. Even when they had the 16 game schedule, when they added some teams, I believe there was at least one, maybe two years where they played 16 games over 18 weeks. So there's absolutely no reason why you can't have two by weeks with an 18 game schedule. And I think his idea is very good to, yeah, I mean, the best idea of all, honestly, would be to get rid of the stupid pro bowl and all the activities, but you know, enough people seem to like it. Oh, Chris. Yeah, exactly. You know, so I think you're speaking for me there, not against me, but I did enjoy watching those guys. But I will say this. I like when somebody has a well thought out idea and presents it, not just off the cuff, you know, much as here's what we got to do and not really think it through. It sounds like Joe Burrow thought it through and I think he's, I think he's right. That's why Joe Burrow and I are like Tony, do you think this is a good idea? Oh, I don't know if it's a good idea or that, but I think it's well thought out. Um, I think, you know, if you really want to have a pro bowl and I don't know that you could really have like a actual football game, pro bowl, yeah, it just doesn't make any sense. Um, but if you're going to do it, I think you could stretch it out an extra week, give it two weeks for if you're going to have the 18 game season, you're going to put the pro bowl in the middle and celebrate the best players of the first half. I think you should give it two weeks. What's the difference, right? We are. It's not like nobody. I think instead of two separate occasions, it would be one big bi week. No, I'm saying you keep the bi week, the two bi weeks, right? So I guess it'd be end up being three bi weeks. Ah, okay. Yeah. So, but you just combine those two bi weeks together and you know, now you got a little more downtime for these guys, not to say that they can't like get back into like some type of camp or whatever it is during that second week, but I think if you really want to have the pro bowl, you're going to have to give them more time. Yeah. But the only reason that I don't agree with that plan is I can't imagine two Sundays in a row without Scott Hanson. That would be tough. What if Scott Hanson? I mean, we do a bunch of Sundays come the off season. I mean, I'm just sure we can add a couple Sundays together so we can stretch out the NFL season. Yeah. And I don't really have a problem with the NFL season stretching out as long as it can. That's what you do. You know, right now it's only about 28 weeks total. I mean, let's go. That's an asset. Let's go 40 weeks. I mean, it's the greatest thing in the world. I want to add the time back to president's day weekend, which would be in the February like 20th have the Super Bowl on Easter. I could care less. Sure. Baseball baseball season is started. Spread it out, baby. I hate it. Sure. Just stop eating yourself NFL. That's what's happening here. Number three. Speaking of the Christmas, Chris has given me the eyes and that was weird to move on. Uh, Dak Prescott, who has undoubtedly heard the noise regarding the status of his right foot, has decided to provide an update less than three weeks before the start of training camp. Uh, he was pictured wearing a boot on his foot. And so he said, honestly, I'm getting older. It was the same ankle that I snapped and had a nasty surgery on four years ago. So yeah, a couple of hard days of training, you get a little sore. Then you're going on a fishing trip and you want to protect it and make sure things don't get worse. Literally, it is absolutely nothing. People are reaching, trying to make things that they aren't. Um, I'm getting older, have to take care of my body, have to be smart. And if I can take precautions and lessen something by putting on a boot, I'm going to do it. Sorry that caused such a whirlwind end quote Tony. We sometimes say, or at least I sometimes say, if there's smoke, there is fire. So if there is a boot, is there an injury? No, not necessarily. I mean, he's just walking around with boots on to try to help his. So does it hurt himself? Do they have some type of camp that he's throwing the football around? I think they were doing something, right? Um, yeah, they have like those OTA's and stuff, but he was talking about fishing trips. He's wearing a boot. Well, when they send you home from the field and you got like an ankle injury, they usually send you home in a boot, right? So now he's just fishing with the boot. I don't know. This doesn't seem like much of anything other than him wearing a boot during the offseason. And people with Dallas overreacting to every single thing they have. This is this is kind of par for the course over it's especially in Dallas. And like, you know, for Dallas fan's sake, I understand the overreaction. I mean, nothing goes right for you. So I can see how you'd be a pessimist to everything that, you know, comes your way. So, you know, I think you just chalk this up to Dallas fans being Dallas fans. All right, Chris, what do you think? If there is a boot, is there an injury? I don't think so, I think he's just being careful and frankly, if he's my quarterback, I want him to be careful. So, you know, I may hate to see him get hurt doing something he enjoys in the offseason. Right. I mean, everybody's being bubble wrap. They should be a bubble wrap during the time. I mean, these quarterbacks should walk around just at home in bubble wrap. You know, I mean, who was the guy that sliced his finger cutting, cutting, cutting open something? He was the Audrey, right? I don't know. I mean, it's happened. Right. So I, yeah, the overreaction is absurd. I think to a ton go by low, put on one pound, or at least it was reported that he put on one pound and literally that was pretty much him being run out of Miami, been a lot of people's minds. I, you know, the great thing about the NFL is that we care about it. The worst thing about the NFL is that we care too much about the wrong things. You know, guys, about six months, I'm just going to start wearing my sling for my shoulder. If you're going to feel more comfortable, God, love it as long as you can push the buttons. I can't push the button. All right. Number two. Now, Novak Jokovic easily beat 15 seated, correct me if I'm wrong, Chris, Holger, Runa. Okay. He says, okay. Yeah, six, three, six, four, six, two, and just over two hours Monday night to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals, then make sure to get the message across to those fans he thought were against them. Runa's supporters at various tournaments often will say his name is Roon, which often, you know, can be misconstrued as boo. And that's great. I got to tell you, dude, I was about to like talk trash to you after your comment about the shoulder sling and you being able to push buttons. Yeah. And this is a good example, ladies and gentlemen, why, you know, don't say the first thing that comes to your mind. What does that do? I had only looked at like our two 15 spot and, you know, some of the spots from earlier today that weren't filled out. And then I kind of gradually scrolled down before I opened my mouth and saw all of this type, the button pushing you have been doing towards the bottom of it. And you know, I'm glad I caught myself because you would have had a, you would have had the right to, to scream on me right there. Oh, you were saying you were going to bring up that I didn't fill in anything. Yes. He restrained himself. He's talking about the, he's talking about the quality move of restraint. I see. Okay. What about two o'clock? It says, better cup begins. That was my big note. Yeah. That was your big note. We went over that. All right. The problem with today, if we're going to go in this direction for a second, the problem with today is Chris and I just talked about everything from over the weekend yesterday and they haven't played another game. Um, yeah, today's the beginning of the week, beginning of the week for me. Yeah. So this is all fresh for you. For us, we've beat this into the ground a little bit. Um, all right. So no back joke, which they said it was boo that happened yesterday. He actually had a message to his fans in his post match interview. And here is what he said and I had to cut it down because it was very well. And to all those people that have chosen to disrespect the player, in this case, me, have a good night, good night, good night, very good night. Yeah. I'm hoping that they were just commenting on Runa and that they weren't disrespecting you. They were, they were, they were. I don't accept it. No, no, no, no. I know they were, I know they were cheering for Runa, but that's an excuse to also boo. I, I, I, listen, I, I've been, I've been on the tour for more than 20 years. So trust me, I know all the tricks. I know how it works. It's fine. It's fine. It's okay. I focus on the respectful people that have respect that pay the ticket to come and watch the night and love tennis and love tennis and appreciate the players and the effort that the players put in here. I played in much more hostile environment, trust me, you guns, you guys can't touch me. So there's what he said, uh, very good Novak. He is considered a sports villain, but I think that was pretty hilarious and great. Chris, do you consider Novak Jocovitch a sports villain? No, I just consider him a little polarizing. Um, you know, I didn't agree with all of the stances he's taken, but you know what? He believes in certain things and, uh, that's his right to believe in certain things, uh, and it's also the fans right to root against him. You know, I mean, I don't think that I don't think tennis fans have to go into the stadium and, and root for both players all the time. Um, I, I think by and large people respect Jocovitch and in his amazing play, uh, you know, if he felt like he was being booed a little bit, he's probably right. He might have been being booed a little bit and he got the last laugh in on them. I think that was pretty, I think that was pretty creative by him. That's right. That was good. Tony, do you consider Novak Jocovitch a sports villain? No, he's just an ass. I just, I'm not a fan of this at all. I mean, first of all, we've all, I mean, at this point, I'm, I'm 42 years old. I'll be 42 years old, right? It was a point. Yeah, I'll be 42 and I'll be in October and I'm old enough to know that, you know, fans. If you have a name that is kind of in the boo, doesn't mean that fans are actually booing, booing you. And if I don't know the gentleman that he played and Chris, you would know more than me, um, I just feel like, why are you, if it doesn't really bother you and they can't really touch you, you use, I don't know what, five minutes of your post game interview to address it, for some reason that it didn't bother you at all. And, you know, you've been in much more hostile environments, yet you took the time to have this conversation after thing. So clearly it did bother you. And I think, uh, he's a little soft because it bothered quite frankly, like you're a professional athlete. You should be able to handle, you know, especially, let me rephrase, when you're, uh, great like him, you're going to walk into places where people want you to lose. Can we go through the list of greats that have had to go through that? I mean, every guy in basketball, every guy in baseball, you know, when Manny goes as a plated, any other pose in the spot, he gets, he gets booed. It's a, actually it's a sign of respect, isn't it? They don't boo. I haven't heard that before. They don't boo like regular dudes out there. That's true. I just take issue with him saying that he wasn't bothered by it, but clearly was bothered by it. I just want to say. He's not a villain though. Okay. But when I say something and hit the mark, Tony often says, I should have said what Chris said on this one, I want to jump in and say, I should have said what Tony said, because I think he hit it right on the mark. All right. You're right. It's the psychology of if it doesn't bother you, then why are you taking the time to address it? Yeah. He should be too good for all this stuff. That's my point. Like he's literally one of the greatest to ever play tennis and yet he, this isn't the first time he's taken issue, by the way, with fans and using his post-game interviews to address it. I think this is like the second or third time that I can remember, and it's just like, I don't know. I can't remember, give me a great, just any, better, can't remember, well, he seemed like he was below. There are some things that get you up. You're about like, I'm saying any great that the, the, the sides from the Roger Feders are the Tony Gwynns, mostly all of them all get booed and, you know, have to deal with it at some point. That's true. And I don't think I remember anybody like addressing the boos in their post-game comments. Like, you know, it's just, you know, I'm out here. Like I can't think of LeBron or Michael or Wayne Gretzky or anybody addressing boos after their game. I don't know. That would be like, because the Padres get booed or got booed earlier in the year. I'd be like, one of the Padres grabbing the mic and being like, stop booing us. Like, what are you doing? Right. What were we talking about the next day? We'd be like, why would he ever grab the mic and say that? That is true. I didn't think about it like that. I'm just like, I don't know. He seemed a little sensitive in this scenario. Maybe he's working on a stand-up comedian career because that was pretty funny.

"These new stories will astound and amaze you. The one, the only, oh my God! Who the hell cares!" The Big Five starts now on 97th Ray the Fan. Alright, nice to have Tony back for the Big Five, and we're going to start with something slightly controversial today, and I don't mean to be sensationalist about this, but I did see a lot of conversation. It's actually all about the Home Run Derby and the selection of Marcelo Azuna. Now we know the past, but I will explain, Azuna has been arrested twice before domestic violence related defenses. He was reinstated to Major League Baseball after charges were dropped, and he completed a pre-trial diversion program for police. I know where you think I'm going guys. But yes, there are many tentacles that go in the Trevor Bauer direction, but many think Major League Baseball could have avoided any of this conversation just by asking someone else. Tony, should Major League Baseball have asked someone else to participate? I mean, to me, this doesn't make any sense, right? I mean, he's already an all-star, so it's okay to be an all-star, we just don't want you to be in the Home Run Derby, like, what is the, what are you trying to accomplish by not having him there, because guess what, come all-star game, they're going to have the starting lineups, and they're going to actually run out to the starting line or be out on the line in which his name will be mentioned. So I think this is- I can't say that I understand it, but what I gather is that they're putting him on a, they're basically like saying, "Hey, look at this great guy. This is what I see." That's not what they're doing though, they're picking contestants for Home Run Derby. Clearly they, not everybody wants to do it, as we know, and so they probably asked guys that said they wanted to do it or were willing to participate. I don't think Major League Baseball is trying to say, "Hey, this guy is an awesome guy. He's out hitting home runs." I just think they needed somebody or they wanted to take people who wanted to participate. Chris, Major League Baseball has asked someone else to participate. Well, first of all, I'm just thinking of one name in particular, but Josh Hamilton had plenty of demons, different demons, but demons nonetheless, and was celebrated as a Home Run Derby participant several years ago, champion, et cetera, all-time record performance. Here's the simple difference between Marcelo Zune and Trevor Bauer. Marcelo Zune is deemed by baseball to have done whatever it is necessary for them to welcome him back to the game. He has done whatever he's needed to legally to be a free man and have taken care of whatever responsibilities he had there, and baseball deems him to be eligible to play. Baseball does not deem Trevor Bauer to be eligible to play, and so as long as that's the case, Marcelo Zune should be eligible to take part in a contest like this, and Trevor Bauer should continue to stay where he does, and I don't really have a problem with Trevor Bauer staying where he does. I'm a little tired of every single time somebody scratches somebody behind the ears. It's like, "Oh, we got to let Trevor Bauer back in the game, I guess." No, we don't have to let him back in the game. Baseball's, I don't know, are we missing him that badly? To be fair, Major League Baseball hasn't deemed him not worthy of playing Major League Baseball teams and owners who have to rewrite it, have said it to this point, no thank you. So you know, take that for what you will. Take that for data, that's right. I think that's the number one question in my DMs the past week or two is should the Padres bring in Trevor Bauer? We've already talked about it. And here's your number one answer. Okay. Number four. We're gonna move on, Chris. We're gonna move on. Number four. I brought this up on the Scrabies show last night and wanted to get your guys opinion. Apparently, Bangle's quarterback, Joe Burrow and I think alike. He recently said, "If the NFL goes to an 18 game regular season, he would like to see the NFL Institute two bi-weeks with one of those occurring at week 13 for every single team. Then during that bi-week there would be the Pro Bowl festivities and it will feel more like the NBA All-Star weekend and all of that." So Chris, do you think this is a good idea if they go to 18 regular season games? I think if Joe Burrow didn't already have enough money, he ought to consider running for player commissioner, I think it makes perfect sense. First of all, the two bi-weeks, I believe has been done before in the NFL. Yeah. Even when they had the 16 game schedule, when they added some teams, I believe there was at least one, maybe two years, where they played 16 games over 18 weeks. So there's absolutely no reason why you can't have two bi-weeks with an 18 game schedule. And I think his idea is very good too. I mean, the best idea of all, honestly, would be to get rid of the stupid Pro Bowl and all the activities, but you know, enough people seem to like it. What about that? Oh, Chris? Yeah, exactly. I think you're speaking for me there, not against me. I did enjoy watching those guys go out. But I will say this. I like when somebody has a well thought out idea and presents it, not just off the cuff, you know, much as, here's what we got to do and not really think it through. It sounds like Joe Barrow thought it through, and I think he's, I think he's right. Sound, that's why Joe Barrow and I are like, Tony, do you think this is a good idea? Oh. I don't know if it's a good idea or that, but I think it's well thought out. I think, you know, if you really want to have a Pro Bowl, and I don't know that you could really have like an actual football game Pro Bowl, it just doesn't make any sense. But if you're going to do it, I think you could stretch it out an extra week, give it two weeks for, if you're going to have the 18 game season, you're going to put the Pro Bowl in the middle and celebrate the best players of the first half, I think you should give it two weeks. What's the difference? Right? We are. It's not like nobody. So you're saying instead of two separate occasions, it would be one big bye week. No, I'm saying you keep the, the, the bye week. Okay. The two bye weeks. Right? So I guess it'd be end up being three bye weeks. Ah, okay. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Yeah. So, but you just combine those two bye weeks together and you know, now you got a little more downtime for these guys, not to say that they can't like get back into like some type of camp or whatever it is during that second week, but I think if you really want to have the Pro Bowl, you're going to have to give them more time. Yeah. But the only reason that I don't agree with that plan is I can't imagine two Sundays in a row without Scott Hanson. That'd be tough. What if Scott Hanson? I mean, we do a bunch of Sundays come the off season. I mean, I'm just saying we can add a couple Sundays together so we can stretch out the NFL season. Yeah. And I don't really have a problem with the NFL season stretching out as long as it can. Right. You know, right now it's only about 28 weeks total. I mean, let's go. That's a lot. Let's go 40 weeks. I mean, it's the greatest thing in the world. I want to all the time back to president's day weekend, which would be in the February like 20th have the Super Bowl on Easter. I could care less or the baseball baseball season is started. Spread it out, baby. I hate it. Sure. Just stop eating yourself NFL. That's what's happening here. Number three, speaking of the Christmas, Chris is giving me the eyes and yeah, that was a move on. Dak Prescott has undoubtedly heard the noise regarding the status of his right foot has decided to provide an update less than three weeks before the start of training camp. He was pictured wearing a boot on his foot. And so he said, honestly, I'm getting older. It was the same ankle that I snapped and had a nasty surgery on four years ago. So yeah, a couple of hard days of training, you get a little sore. Then you're going on a fishing trip and you want to protect it and make sure things don't get worse. Literally, it is absolutely nothing. People are reaching, trying to make things that they aren't. I'm getting older, have to take care of my body, have to be smart. And if I can take precautions and lessen something by putting on a boot, I'm going to do it. Sorry, that caused such a whirlwind end quote, Tony. We sometimes say, or at least I sometimes say, if there's smoke, there is fire. So if there is a boot, is there an injury? No, not necessarily. I mean, you just walk around with boots on to try to help us so he doesn't hurt himself. Do they have some type of camp? Or is he throwing the football around? I think they were doing something, right? Yeah, they had those OTAs and stuff, but he was talking about fishing trips he's wearing a boot. Well, when they send you home from the field and you got an ankle injury, they usually send you home in a boot, right? So now he's just fishing with the boot. I don't know. This doesn't seem like much of anything other than him wearing a boot during the offseason. And people dial us overreacting to every single thing that happens. This is kind of par for the course. It's especially a dash. And for Dallas fans' sake, I understand the overreaction. Nothing goes right for you so I can see how you'd be a pessimist to everything that comes your way. So I think you just chalked us up to Dallas fans being Dallas fans. All right, Chris. What do you think? If there is a boot, is there an injury? I don't think so. I think he's just being careful. And frankly, if he's my quarterback, I want him to be careful. So you know, I mean, hate to see him get hurt doing something he enjoys in the offseason. Right. Have you never been to see a bubble wrap? They should be a bubble wrap. They're in the top. I mean, these quarterbacks should walk around just at home in bubble wrap. You know, I mean, who was the guy that sliced his finger cutting the burger, cutting open something? Yeah. Yeah. That happened. Right. So I get the overreaction is absurd. I think to a ton of I low put on one pound, or at least it was reported that he put on one pound and literally that was pretty much him being run out of Miami, being a lot of people's minds. Hey, you know, the great thing about the NFL is that we care about it. The worst thing about the NFL is that we care too much about the wrong things. You know, guys, about six months, I'm just going to start wearing my sling for my shoulder head. If you're going to feel more comfortable, God love it. As long as you can push the buttons. I can push the button. All right. Number two. Now, Novak Jokovic easily beat 15 seated, correct me if I'm wrong, Chris, holder, runa. Okay. He says, okay. Yeah, six, three, six, four, six, two, and just over two hours Monday night to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals, then make sure to get the message across to those fans. He thought we're against them. Runa's supporters at various tournaments often will say his name is rude, which can be misconstrued as boo. That's great. I got to tell you, dude, I was about to like talk trash to you after your comment about the shoulder sling and you being able to push buttons. Yeah. And this is a good example, ladies and gentlemen, why, you know, don't say the first thing that comes to your mind. What did I do? I had only looked at like our two 15 spot and, you know, some of the spots from earlier today that weren't filled out, and then I kind of gradually scrolled down before I opened my mouth and saw all of this type, the button pushing you have been doing towards the bottom of it. And you know, I'm glad I caught myself because you would have had a, you would have had the right to, to scream on me right there. Oh, you were saying you were going to bring up that I didn't fill in anything. Yes. He restrained himself. He's talking about the, he's talking about the quality move of restraint. I see. Okay. So what about two o'clock? It says, better cup begins. That was my big note. Yeah. That was your big note. We went over that already. The problem with today, if we're going to go in this direction for a second, the problem with today is Chris and I just talked about everything from over the weekend yesterday and they haven't played another game. Um, yeah. Today's the beginning of the week, the week for me. Yeah. So this is all fresh for you. For us, we've beat this into the ground a little bit. Um, all right. So Novak Djokovic, they said it was boo that happened yesterday. He actually had a message to his fans in his post match interview. And here is what he said and I had to cut it down because it was very well. And to all those people that have chosen to disrespect the player, in this case me, have a good night. Good night, good night, very good night. Yeah. I'm hoping that they were just commenting on runa and that they weren't disrespecting you all. They were, they were, they were. I don't accept it. No, no, no. I know they were, I know they were cheering for runa, but that's an excuse to also boo. I, I, listen, I, I've been, I've been on the tour for more than 20 years. So trust me, I know all the tricks. I know how it works. It's fine. It's fine. It's okay. I focus on the respectful people. They have respect that pay the ticket to come and watch tonight and love tennis and appreciate the players and the effort that the players put in here. I played in much more hostile environment, trust me, you guns, you guys can't touch me. So there's what he said, uh, very good Novak. He is considered a sports villain, but I think that was pretty hilarious and great. Chris, do you consider Novak Jocovitch a sports villain? No, I just consider him a little polarizing. Um, you know, I didn't agree with all of the stances he's taken, but you know what? He believes in certain things and, uh, that's his right to believe in certain things, uh, and it's also the fans right to root against them. You know, I mean, I don't think that, I don't think tennis fans have to go into the stadium and, and root for both players all the time. Um, I, I think by and large, people respect Jocovitch and in his amazing play, uh, you know, he felt like he was being booed a little bit. He's probably right. He might have been being booed a little bit and he got the last laugh in on them. I think that was pretty, I think that was pretty creative by him. That's right. That was good. Tony, do you consider Novak Jocovitch a sports villain? No, he's just an ass. I just, I know. You don't like him? I don't know how bad it is. At all. I mean, first of all, we've all, I mean, at this point, I'm, I'm 42 years old. I'll be 42 years old. Right. It was a point. Yeah, I'll be 42 and I'll be, I'll be in October and I, I, I'm old enough to know that, you know, fans, if you have a name that is kind of in the boo doesn't mean that fans are actually booing, booing you. And if I, I don't know the gentleman that he played and Chris, you would know more than me. Um, I just feel like, why are you, if it doesn't really bother you and they can't really touch you, you use, I don't know what, five minutes of your post game interview to address it for some reason that it didn't bother you at all and, you know, you've been in much more hospital environments, yet you took the time to have this conversation after the thing. So clearly it did bother you and I think, uh, he's a little soft because it bothered him quite frankly, like you're a professional athlete. You should be able to handle, you know, especially, let me rephrase, when you're a great, like him, you're going to walk into places where people want you to lose. Can we go through the list of greats that have had to go through that? I mean, every guy in basketball, every guy in baseball, you know, when Manny goes as a plated, any other pose in the spot, he gets, he gets booed. It's a, actually it's a sign of respect, isn't it? They don't boo. I haven't heard that before. They don't boo like regular dudes out there. That's true. I just take issue with him saying that he wasn't bothered by it, but clearly was bothered by it. I just want to say. He's not a villain though. Okay. When I say something and hit the mark, Tony often says, I should have said what Chris said. On this one, I want to jump in and say, I should have said what Tony said, because I think he hit it right on the mark. You're right. It's the psychology of if it doesn't bother you, then why are you taking the time to address it? Yeah. He should be too good for all this stuff. That's my point. Like he's literally one of the greatest to ever play tennis, and yet he, this isn't the first time he's taken issue, by the way, with fans and using his post-game interviews to address it. I think this is like the second or third time that I can remember, and it's just like, I don't know. I can't remember. Give me a great. Fetter? Give me just any. Fetter. Can't remember. Well, he seemed like he was beloved. There are some things that he was beautiful. He was beautiful. I'm saying any great that the, the sides from the Roger Fettors or the Tony Gwen's mostly all of them all get booed and, you know, have to deal with it at some point. That's true. And I don't think I remember anybody like addressing the boos in their post-game comments. Like, you know, it's just, you know, I'm out here. Like I can't think of LeBron or Michael or Wayne Gretzky or anybody addressing boos after their game. I don't know. That would be like, because the Padres get booed or got booed earlier in the year. That'd be like, one of the Padres grabbing the mic and being like, stop booing us. Like, what are you doing? Right. What were we talking about the next day? We'd be like, why would you ever grab the mic and say that? That is true. I didn't think about it like that. I'm just like, I don't know. He seemed a little sensitive in this scenario. Maybe he's working on a stand-up comedian career because that was pretty funny. But that was the other thing. And maybe it gets lost in translation, right? Because the boo part was actually funny and like it didn't seem to fit with the kind of disrespect comment that he gave just before that. Yeah. Then he went down the dark path. Right. You know, it seemed like it was, I couldn't tell in the early end if he was like joking upset. You did have some sort of smile while he was saying it. But then at the end, he seemed like he was a little bit upset. His next opponent is a guy by the name of Alex D. Menar. So I don't believe there'll be any confusion this time. If they're booing them, they're going to definitely be booing them. So he'll know. Number one. All right. So this was my daily gripe last night. And I want to get your guys' thoughts. You put yourself in this situation. You're in a store where you need to go to a cashier before you leave to pay like a convenience store or grocery store, whatever. You get to said cashier and the cashier doesn't look up to you or at you and acknowledge you are ready to pay. So you're just kind of standing there awkwardly. Tony, how long would you wait before you say something to a cashier that's not recognizing you? That's a good question because I have been in this situation before and I waited. I felt like forever and I never said anything and eventually said cashier looked up. I mean, when you think about this is going to sound short, but it's actually a long time. I'd say like 45 seconds. Wow. That's an eternity. That's an eternity. Wow. You're five seconds. You meant four or five seconds. Not 45. Yeah. I was going to say 30, but I thought that was too small to show 45, probably more like 30 seconds. Like I would wait like like a little smirk on my face for a little bit. Would you go? I might just throw the money on the counter and make a little noise. No, I won't. I mean, put your stuff on the counter like I might, I might make it, you know, the courtesy fake cough. Yeah. Excuse me. Or, or, you know, like, you know, if you got the stuff, like kind of the cashier doing when you went up to them on the phone, on their phone, because, you know, there's other cashiers that are like reading the newspaper or something. Can I just tell you that today when we were golfing at Mission Bay, there was a young lady in the fairway and the hole ahead of us on her phone. Are you checking yardages? No, she was talking to somebody on her phone while her, her, her playing partners were already up on the green. She was standing in the fairway talking on the phone, then put the phone away and hit her shot. Chris, we'll devote 30 minutes to that tomorrow. We could devote an hour to that. I'm talking about the cashier. Tony says 45 seconds, which I think is apparently rising is 30. Okay, 30. Chris? Four to five. I don't have time. Don't have time for this stuff. What would you do? Would you be like, Hey, I'm already tired of waiting behind the slow guy who can't fish out his money or is having trouble remembering his code that he punches into the computer. So I'm already frustrated and angry. You're not doing that. Like you walk up. You're the first guy up there. This is why they're not paying attention because no one was in line before you. Yeah, I'm not waiting around. As a guy who worked at a bank, there's something that drives me insane about people that come up to the window without me calling them because you know what you seem like that guy. Oh my gosh. I have thousands of dollars in cash sitting right in front of me that I'm trying to sort. You can't come over because it's a scary. I always have thousands of dollars in cash. You just want to have the power to be like, Nope, not yet. Yes. You know what? I'm waiting for you next. You know what? You know what I hate more about the bank guy that sits behind there and counts his money while I'm standing there. The thing I hate more is the bank guy who looks up at me and then closes his window before I can walk up doing that. Yes. No wonder I couldn't stand any bank people and I don't go to the bank anymore. You know what? I would help people who were in front of the line and they looked at me and they didn't come forward and I would help them one last time. You're giving all bank tellers a bad name right now. I think bank tellers are kind of in my corner. If you're a bank teller, if you're a bank teller and you are like me because I know there's lots of people. What kind of person looks up at a customer who's been standing there for 45 minutes, looks at them and then politely closes their little window right on you. No, no, no, no. No matter what they're being. Maybe it's so the guy that like is like fish eyeing you while he's pretending to look down and do something busy to make sure you're not walking to his line before he calls you over so he could be like, "Excuse me, could you please wait until I call you in?" No, yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right, yeah, you're power hungry, Scrabby, you're power hungry. No, when I go on lunch, I click the thing and I roll the window out and I look over and I said, "Some will be right with you." Sure you do. I walk away. Jerk. I'm glad you got this guy on his phone at the convenience store. Yeah. You deserved it. I'm glad it was on the counting on this kidding. All right, so for the big five, when we get back, we'll get you set for this game between the Mariners and the Padres tonight here on 97 through the fam.
