You live in your neighborhood as well. So when you're shopping for a home, you want to know as much about the area around it as possible. Luckily, Homes.com has got you covered. Each listing features a comprehensive neighborhood guide from local experts. Everything you'd ever want to know about a neighborhood, including the number of homes for sale, transportation, local amenities, cultural attractions, unique qualities, and even things like median lot size and a noise score. Homes.com, we've done your homework. So while you were in the restroom during the break, Polly got a little news from our pedicurists. Remember, I got the nice compliment that my feet weren't the worst she had ever seen. Yes, that was good. Polly actually got you have really nice feet. Thank you very much. That compliment coming from someone who sees feet all the time for a living. Pretty good. They were the girls were talking to each other and I looked over and they said, oh, we're talking about how you have really nice feet. That's so nice. Thank you so much. That's awesome. Nice conversation. Now, did you get the leg? Yeah. Now, did you have you ever seen Kev? No, you didn't do his. She did. Did you ever see Kev like his? Ever. You've seen Kev like that? All right. Well, okay. That's fine. She's a good. Unremarkable feet and now unremarkable calves. Yes. That's fine. They're not that special apparently. So a quick update from the open championship second round is underway at Royal Trune and the leader in the clubhouse today after a 69 Shane Lowry is at 700 par one in 2019. Seems like a fun. Good dude. Great. Irishman Shane Lowry seems to always be smiling laughing, having a pretty good time looking for his second major title. But the big story or at least the one that I find interesting and he's in the middle of his second round right now and he's holding on at 500. She's got a 665 yesterday Englishman named Dan Brown and if you haven't heard of Dan Brown, don't worry. I hadn't either and neither had most golfers. Dan Brown is playing in his very first major ever. He qualified about two weeks ago, just kind of went through the qualifying process, made it. He shot, as I said, a bogey free 65. You know how many players have ever shot a bogey free 65 or better in the first round of their very first major? None until yesterday in the history of golf. He's the first one to do it and he did it on a tough course where scores were not easy yesterday. So this guy is kind of just living a magical dream right now. He's one over through 12 holes, but he's still alone in second place right now behind Shane Lowry and this I mean the guy hadn't made a cut in six months until last week when he finished 61st at the Scottish Open and now he's in second place at the Open Championship. You hate to say that it won't last, but it probably won't last. But yeah, I mean, nobody's ever going to take that away from you, but this is what separates the men from the boys here in these tournaments is hey, you've seen all kinds of guys get out to these. This feels really good on a Friday and then Saturday starts creeping in. You're absolutely right. You know your golf enough to know that odds are Daniel Brown's going to fade and disappear, but it's great if he didn't in the open. It does seem like every once in a while. You get the Jean van de Vil or the Todd Hamilton who actually won the tournament and just sticks around the entire week and all of a sudden at the end, they're coming up 18 and they're winning the tournament. You go, where did this guy come from? It's always a great story. Now there are bigger names that are right behind him. Justin Rose is a four under two under today. Scotty Scheffler three under for the tournament two under today. He's on 18, so he's going to be part of the mix this weekend as the number one golfer in the world looks to add to his major haul. Guys who finished today's Andrew Scheffler 72 won over today, but he is in red numbers at one under tied for ninth along with Patrick Cantley. Jason Day is also at one under and they are all done for the day. Now on the other end of the spectrum, guys who are struggling include Tiger Woods who's going to miss a third straight cut in a major. He is last time checked 12 over par 14 over is where he finished 79 77. So not not a good couple of days for Tiger who obviously is rusty and does not have the ability to practice like you used to. Now for everyone like Colin Montgomery says, just just hang it up. Well should Wyndham Clark hang it up, you know, last year's US Open Chef, he's 16 over. Wow. He's even worse than Tiger should Cameron Smith hang it up. He's at 12 over after an 80 and a 74. There are other guys who have shot big numbers. Roy McElroy had a terrible day yesterday, only to go low today just to make the cuts. So there are guys who have had their troubles on this course. Tiger wasn't the only one, but right now it's Shane Lowry who's going to lead at seven under par. That's going to be a really interesting couple of days out there. How are the weather conditions supposed to be? So it's so unpredictable. I was told that today was going to be the nicest day, but they say the wind is howling. So you never really know. Tomorrow's supposed to be very rainy all day. And then Sunday is a little bit windier, but less rain is what I heard when you're on the Scottish coast that can change every 20 minutes or so. Yep. Well listen, let's get into some Padre's baseball talk because it starts again tonight. Let me throw out the phone numbers for take on woods here in a couple of minutes, 833-288-097-3. If you want to play musical trivia against woods, try to qualify for Vegas, 833-288-097-3. Yeah, it starts back up tonight in Cleveland. Padre's haven't been there in a while, I think, to take on the guardians at Progressive Field. Matt Waldron will be on the mound for game one of the series against Tanner Bibbe, right hander. So Padre's, I don't know if that's still a thing that they can't beat left handers, but they do get some righties in this series. I haven't heard that narrative in a while, you know, now it's just about winning ball games. They face plenty of right handers against Atlanta and were unable to beat a couple of those guys. But Tanner Bibbe did pitch at Petco Park last year, and Padre's got to him six runs on eight hits. But he's a good pitcher. I mean, he's having a good year, 7-4, 3-7-7 ERA, he struck out a hundred and 23 batters already this year, so he strike out kind of guy. It's going to be interesting. It's always fun to see how the team comes out after the break. You know, there's some guys that probably run in a little bit more ragged, like Jerks and Profari. He's been doing the All-Star game scene and Robert Suarez, he only threw a few pitches that we didn't get to see in the All-Star game because of Big Poppy asking everyone if they're having fun, which was killer content. But yeah, man, it's going to see, you know, how did you guys react to the break? How's everyone feeling? They know what's, they know what's lying ahead, man, and it's a huge second half. I get the sense that Cleveland's the kind of team that if you could have just skipped the break and just kept rolling because they've been playing so well in the first half of the season, they would have liked to. The Padres, of course, were a team that absolutely needed the break. No question. Limping in, not only, you know, physically with the injuries they're dealing with, but just kind of mentally that last week did not go well losing six of their last sevens. So you kind of hope that the break flips the script for both teams, like Cleveland loses some of their mojo and the Padres with a little rest come out, but we'll find out probably a lot in these first couple of days and certainly in this first road trip of what kind of second half of the season we're going to expect because if they have a good road trip, they will get through pretty much their toughest part of the schedule right now and be in good shape going forward. If they have a bad road trip, they're probably going to be chasing and having to go on a winning streak at some point, you know, to catch up in the wild card race. Yeah, we'll know a lot in the next nine days, which will culminate with the Padres coming home to face the Dodgers for the trade deadline days at the end of the day, just insane. It's just going to be an insane couple of weeks here. Game two of the series tomorrow is Dylan Cease against Gavin Williams. And then game three on Sunday is Michael King against Ben Lively to wrap up the series. What are the times of those games? Let me see. If I can find the schedule to today's for 10 tomorrow is for 10 and Sunday is 10 40 San Diego time in the morning. So a little breakfast and baseball with Sam Levitt at 9 40 on Sunday to wrap up the series pancakes and Padres pancakes and pod race. Okay. All right. So that's a play. Yeah. You got anything else on the Guardians? No. Well, how long have they been the Guardians? Would you say this is like the fourth? I've called them Indian several times over the years. I think I've caught myself wanting to say it a couple of times, but I haven't actually let it slip out yet. I have many times as you know, yeah, but recently doing better when they switch. I want to say this is the fourth year they've been the Guardians, but maybe it's only the third 22. So this is the third year they've been the 22 23. This is your number three starting to get used to it. I would have thought like 2019. Well, you know, referees in the NFL still call them the San Diego Chargers, and it's been frozen in on a decade here. Sports casters. I mean, it happens all the time, but they call Washington Washington or the commanders. I think there's more like, there's more stern penalties when you call them what we, you know, their old name, like you, you're a little more like hesitant. That's fair. I'm just there are more iconic franchise in the Chargers historically. Yeah. It's been eight years and the, uh, the Chargers are still getting called. Yeah. Ever. Maybe it's because the majority of people were kind of happy that Washington changed their name and we're unhappy that the Chargers left San Diego, they're just kind of fighting against it mentally. All right. Let's get to our game. It's time to play a little take on woods. It's time for take on woods. Take on woods brought to you by valvoline instant oil change.

How many times do I have to tell you? I'm sorry I fudged up guys. You idiot. More on. I'm so mad. The apple sometimes does far fall from the tree. Don't do this. Do not tweet that. With Ben and Woods. I like a Nickelback song or two on 97.3 The Fan. Don't Do This is brought to you by the Kraft Taco in Serenno Valley. Kraft Taco has some of the best quality tacos.

All right. I'll start us out and don't do this with a dispute between two well-known quarterbacks that has reached like the legal channels. reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson is challenging pro football Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman's use of the number eight. Why? Aikman is trying to trademark like eight. He wants to sell shirts that just say eight eight and like that is associated with me. I'm Troy Aikman. I wore number eight for the Dallas Cowboys and in the Hall of Fame, but yeah, you amongst others. Jackson is like, oh, no, no, no, I'm a big number eight. You can't just like, I'm not paying Troy Aikman every time I want to sell like a purple eight shirt that, you know, has, you know, Baltimore Raven stuff on it. So he is challenging Aikman's company that is doing his marketing for rights to the number eight, which I kind of feel like everyone should have free use of the number eight. Let's do why and I, you know, doesn't it number one, it's going to lead to, you know, because Troy Aikman still calls games and they have to go down and do the, you know, they sit with the quarterback and what are you seeing and how you guys play and they do this. That's going to be uncomfortable. But also doesn't there get doesn't, is there ever a point if you're Troy Aikman where you're good, like, hey, you've made an ass ton of money, like, just, just, I, you know, I get the sense. Yeah. You've got how many rings we get three rings. Just relax. So I get the sense that, you know, they all have business and marketing people and you've got to justify their existence by, hey, we're going to market this and we're going to do that and we're going to file a trademark. And if you're Aikman, you kind of just go, okay, go for it. Yes. You know, because you want to justify and you're paying these people to do something. So but by the way, you're going after it. You can go to any of our socials and click on our link tree and go buy a Ben and Woods t-shirt right now. So just so you know, to be safe, we should probably no longer use the number eight on the show. Okay. Guys, we don't want to have to pay either of them. Yeah. I really am. Coming up in the seven o'clock plus one hour hour is Jordan Schusterman from says to this family barbecue. And then at 35 in that same hour, we'll have the Ringle report coming up. And then at nine o'clock, we have Mike Schusterman the manager's report about Roger Maris's family is suing us for using nine. So sorry about that guys. Jake Croninworth also very upset about us saying nine. It's a stupid, stupid thing. At some point, man, isn't it enough, isn't it enough? This is a gnarly it's a well, listen, Lawrence Taylor was arrested again. Now the headline yesterday was Lawrence Taylor arrested again, sexual offenses. Now it's an old case, not that that makes it any better. I'm not excusing what he did. But apparently he in it was many years ago, Ben, he was declared a sex offender back in 2011 accusations that he had been intimate with a 16 year old girl. So he was convicted and his status requires him to follow conditions, right as a registered sex offender. He has to let law enforcement know when he moves or if he changes his name. This is the second time this has happened where he moved and did not let them know he didn't change his name. He did not change his name, but he moved and you can't just, you can't have sex offenders just hopping around from place to place. That's why there's a registry. They need to make sure they know where he is at all times. And so he failed to do it again and we'll be heading to court very soon. He will plead not guilty. Right. I don't know how you what what are your personal feelings of sex offenders against them. Not sex offenders, but LT. I mean, because he's a sex offender, can you not? Well, how do you? I mean, are you like, but he's still one of the greatest, if not the greatest defensive player. I have a hard line stance. I think sex offenders because I kind of forgotten about this story until it brought up again. I mean, the dude when someone had said Lawrence Taylor before yesterday, I would have said, Oh, yeah, meanness, nasty, past Russia ever. I don't really thought about anything, but you know, it was one of those things I we of course grew up watching LT play and he was just must see TV. And then, you know, he had a lot of problems with drugs and alcohol. And of course, I'm going to give you a little, I'm going to give you a little leeway there, but then when this happened, I said, Oh boy. And now if he's trying to circumvent the system by moving around, that creeps me out. So he says big misunderstanding, like he wasn't intending to do anything wrong. Right. He also knows the rules because he's also gotten in trouble for this before. So buddy, if you're going to move around, you got to let him know woods, a little dude do this and I've got some good news for you. D D mega if your retirement plan involves bowwoods becoming a top draft pick in major league baseball someday. He should do fairly well with the trend because yesterday the Cincinnati Reds signed their number one draft pick second overall chase burns to a new all time draft bonus record. Nine point two five million dollars breaking the record Paul Skins set last year when he signed for nine point two million with the Pittsburgh Pirates and that we don't even know what the first and third picks who are also considered right on the same level are going to get Travis bazana from the Cleveland Guardians and then Charlie Condon, who was taken by the Colorado Rockies also in line for giant bonuses that are approaching eight figures now. That's crazy. Right. I mean, that's our baseball for a baseball player with, you know, again, we say it all the time, basketball different starting point guard next year, football different starting corner back next year, baseball is different. You may not see this guy for three to four years. Now, all those guys at the top were college picks, including burns who went to wake forest, bazana of course, Oregon State and Condon went to Georgia. So they're like college picks at the top of the draft. Good for him. I mean, he got his bag and now he's got to deliver. It's a big bag. It's a big bag. It's a lot of pressure. Like a tremendous amount of pressure. I mean, you know, you see those stories, but it can affect you mentally when you know you're getting that much money, but it doesn't make baseball any easier. Well, and when you walk into the clubhouse in minor leagues and you're now a professional baseball player and every person in there that's been grinding and eating PB and J's and sleeping on floors is like, cool, man, how's that $9 million that you got? I mean, it doesn't breed. It doesn't breed a lot of good feelings. I would imagine from some of the other guys in there and and you know, those those guys are up against it, but it's a good problem to have. Even if you don't make it, you got nine million bucks. So and that is don't and do do this for a Friday. Was don't do this with Ben and Woods on 97 three, the fan. All right. Stay tuned because we have a couple of birthday surprised, Oh, God, headed woods his way. Nothing like you would have in store for me. I don't think you'll be uncomfortable with either of our birthday surprises. Oh, I don't mind. You're going to ask your pants. I am. So I don't know who's surprised you're going to like more. Now always is incredible. Now I'm really nervous, but I am pretty proud of mine as well. Wow. All right. I have no idea what's happening and you don't have any. I leave the shoe. Yeah. It's on the other foot. He's on the other foot. It's a pedicured foot. It's pedicured. It feels nice and soft. You guys are the best. Thank you. I'm excited. You don't know that yet. That's true. That's true. Save judgment until the end. Tier ones. You don't know what's coming either. Stay tuned. Listen carefully.

And Paulie and I have both set up a birthday surprise for Woods. But I will admit that I could not have set mine up without the help of this person. Yes. Right. He was. So he gets just as much credit for your birthday present as I do. He knows deep in his heart that I am madly in love with him. Madly. He's the best boss I've ever had. This is only going to make you feel even more warmly toward him. Paulie, if you would, unveil our present to Steven Woods. This is Bumara Sysa with an Odyssey Sports Minute.

Well, first I can't believe that, but following Bumara's mind, it's pretty tough. Are you on your potato phone? It's like Sammy Levitt over there. Hi, Paul. No, I'm headed to the doctor. Okay. Okay. Better. Good time. You know, I could not stop but give you a happy birthday shout out, Stephen. I love you. I appreciate it. Good luck. Good luck, Gary.

We all thank you for getting him to this point and to the man he is now. Pretty incredible. We're talking to Mike Schilt later. Any questions that you might have for him? You can ask my A.T. Yeah.

Well, listen, next year's spring training, I do think of great bit would be to turn my dad loose on these guys, give him a mic and let him go. I love you very much, Dad. Thank you. No cleats. Thank you for your support of not only me, but, of course, my family and then my work family here, our number one fan, certainly. So I love you very much. Well, if you guys do, have a great day, Stephen. All right. We will. I love you. All right. Oh, man. So, Paul, he also got you something. Yeah. My top mine, honestly, however, we have a big dilemma here. Yeah. So what I need you to do is because I need your natural reaction, we're going to play traffic. Okay. I need you to check your phone. Okay. I just sent you right now. Right now. Yeah. Okay. And I want you to listen to it during traffic because we can't have the microphones on wall for wall. You listen to your version. We will play an edited version and then we'll play an edited version when we come back. So what's he's going to play? Oh, God. Check traffic. All right. Oh, my God. We're going to check traffic. And we'll explain right after this on 97.3, the fan. Okay. I know you're out there dying. The YouTube chat who just saw what's these reaction can't. They are dying to know what he just watched on his phone from Paul Reindel for what's his birthday dying to know what it is. So, Paul, if you kind of explain what just happened. One on the old cameo, just always a great, great gift idea. If you can find a good cameo and I'm searching around and I search to the name m dot r. Oh, my God. Now, who is m dot r? If you aren't familiar, Big Bomba class, Big Bomba Cinema. This is the greatest. Woods has an unusual obsession with him. Who's his favorite human? My favorite human being. Yeah. Six months. Other than like you guys and my family. I'm not sure. It's him. I can't wait to hear it. You edit this. It's impossible. It's like, Paul, you said, check your phone. As soon as I opened, I saw his beautiful, beautiful face. Now, he is an English rapper, but he wraps in Jamaican and he's like my favorite. He's all over Twitter and I tweet him all the time. I scream at my house. My three year old said it on the live stream last night. Last night. I mean, he's a he's an icon in my in my mind and in my home. Here's the. I opened that. This is unreal. You can use your imagination. I guess. Big Bomba class, Big Bomba Cinema. I mean, at 60 gallons, I said, she wanted to win. Woodsie. When. Woodsie. That sounds good. Kind of crap. He cracked himself up. He's high as a cop. We're leaving. I'm a cell machine man. Fully acting my bro happy birthday family. When woodsie. Is red. You know what I'm saying? You can't stop that. Big Bomba, bro, that's on myself and the R. Then I'm woods. When. Oh, baby. It's so good. Dude. Big Bomba class, Big Bomba Cinema. I just, I just don't even know what to say. I mean, you just couldn't have, you couldn't have gotten me anything better than that. What the heck? I have my life. Boomer. M.R. Like, what's next page we're in next year? Like, what's happening? What's going on? It's like you're behind him. Just in case. The big bottom. My God, dude. We're going to start thinking about how we up that for year 50 next time. Oh, yeah. 50. The big. 5-0. He'll be here. We have to have him to fly him out. He has to be here to play. Woodsfest. Woodsfest. It happened. It happened. Woodsfest because we're both turning. Ben and Woodsstock. Paulie, Ben and Woodsstock done. Adam. Well, that idea. We can expense. Hey, is a year enough lag time for us to get, you know. I think you just take a whole week off work. Some involvement. Writing show. I mean, what if the radio show? I mean, what if the radio show? Yeah. Ben and Woodsstock at the radio show. We got a year to get some sponsorship money. Whatever it takes. Ben and Woodsstock. Ben and Woodsstock are 50th birthdays. It's got to be big. M.R. Headliner. 100%. Dan and Shay. Openers. And M.R. That was. So run with that. That was, it's a great bit. Good-bye, my class. Before bossing on me. Ed. This made my day. I mean, that is just an, an elite, an elite couple of gifts there. You're welcome. And Adam, thank you for that was when you asked me. Why was on vacation no less? Yes. That remember when I said I had to send out an email on vacation because there was no one else who could help me pull that off other than Adam. That's why I needed a bother because I knew you'd like it. I think it was like Tuesday or whatever and I said I have not, I go, it's weird because I know Adam's on vacation but I, it's just weird not hearing from him or talking to him. And Ben, and I said, does anybody heard from Paul said I got one text to the email, Ben said I sent him an email and I go, what did you send him an email for? Why? He would not say that. He wouldn't tell me. I just wouldn't tell me. And then he spun me out and I'm like, what are you doing? What are you asking for? Are you asking for something? Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, what's going on? And I don't even have words, I don't know that I've ever felt this loved in my whole life. I didn't even have to send a script. Boomer just knows all that about. He knows that. Right. Exactly. Very, very obvious. God, that is good. Holy cow. I'm blown away. What's in the back? Keep up the great work. Woodsy and a happy birthday on Boomer's Island. Oh my lord. And they produced it all perfectly too. I love that. Yeah. It's just perfect. Oh, extra, extra love for me and the misses. Oh, you guys are badly. I always did adult coloring. Yeah, but it's live, laugh, and fall. Read some of them. I mean, don't read them. Flip that on air. Flip through. Yeah. You actually mentioned the other day that you were like, maybe I should start coloring. That'll help. Oh my God. Perfect for Bo and Tim. Who was it? Was it the golfer? Who was the? It was Jared Duran. Yeah. The Boston Red Sox center fielder who uses the adult coloring book to kind of de-stress and take his mind off some of the anxiety that comes with, you know, certain professional athletes have to deal with that. That is, I'm blown away. You guys, you guys are incredible. I love you very much. I can't even tell you how I'm feeling right now, like on cloud, cloud nine. Whoo. So how's your trip? Stressful. Going with three kids. To Vegas. For four days, which is longer than we're normally away. And it was a lot. All right. So we got a lot of questions. Vegas with the kids. Vegas with the kids. All right. That's, uh, that's a choice. It is. What's the itinerary then because it can't be the normal, you know, adult trip to Vegas. You can't spend all the time at the blackjack table, you've got a, you know, you've got certain things. Drake able to use certain. Severement. I know. You take Ethan to spearmint. Rhino. No, it's time to the pool. It's going to see the Bellagio fountain show that, you know, the mirage closed down for good. I heard that. Like the last volcano show we saw out there, we took off dinner. That's cool. They're tearing into a magic show. Piff the magic dragon. Piff. He used to be a contestant on America's Got Talent and. So wait, they really, he's doing, it's he, he said, Oh, I know that there's puff the magic dragon. I'll be Piff. Yeah. And he comes out in a dragon suit. Wow. I feel like that's copyright infringement. I wouldn't play poker. I want to play poker at night once the kids were asleep. How'd you do? I lost the money. Did you're so you would have your wife stayed in the room, right? And like would fall asleep and then you'd slither down and play poker before they went to sleep. Oh, yeah. Oh, thanks. What did she get to do without you? Yeah. What did she do? She doesn't. You think you guys think I'm bored. My wife is even more. I'm sure she loves to hear that this morning live on the radio. Now I said when you walk the kids right now, I said when you walked in, I said, you don't look very tan for being in Las Vegas for four days. I mean, my family, excluding me, is not very punctual. Takes a long time to get out of the house, a long time to get out of the hotel room, together, everything. So by the time we got out to the pool, we were out of the pool for an hour. I mean, it's hot. It's so hot. You can't spend much more time than that. There's 110 degrees. Yeah. It was unbearable. Stagger. It's staggering. Yeah. I'm trying to think of maybe. They now have misters. It's been a while since I've been to Vegas. They're mismachines everywhere now. Did you bring Ben any of his prostitution cards? I did not want to grab those. The best meal you had. The best thing I needed to eat for that. Remember them, Ben? Baseball cards. Or did you just eat, you know, prepare stuff in the room for the family? Or did you actually go out there? Prepare stuff in the room. Like, did he more? Or something? You'd be honest. We lost plenty of food. Did you? Of course we did. Oh, for the kids. Yeah. You must have gone out. Yeah. We went to carmines and had Italian knives. Oh, hey. Delicious. Family dinner. He's cake factory. Of course he did. Butter gobs. Delicious. Down there. We went to In-N-Out. In-N-Out, okay. In-N-Out is a... We have those here too. I don't do that here. I know. I know. That In-N-Out though, right on the 15 with the giant Las Vegas style sign is pretty cool. That's pretty cool. They haven't been attached to the hotel. Oh, wow. So I didn't know that. The kids had fun? The kids had fun. I mean, they were... They were Hellions. And so... All I could think about was you. I understand about my kids, my names. Yeah, mine are. They were not in the mood to be listening, so... Kids running wild in Vegas is certainly a scene. It's certainly a scene. Yeah, it's a choice. I couldn't peel Ethan away from the blackjack tank. So as we wrap up summer break here in the next four minutes, did you catch any of our shenanigans this week? 'Cause it got a little weird. No, I didn't. I saw the graphics you were putting out, but that's it. I had no time to... You didn't know about who we had in studio yesterday, for instance. No, I know. We had a hypnotist for now. I heard you guys talking about it this morning. What else did we do? He tried hypnotized how to go. It was amazing. Yeah, he had a long run on the air thinking he was an apricot. Yeah, it was awesome. See, I'm... Again, I completely missed the bit. I feel like Ben probably doesn't believe in it. He actually... He bought it a little bit. I kind of bought it. He said he could help me with my golf film, so that got me kind of sees a try at least. He helps with golf. I was like... Just like out of sleep right here. But isn't there a common misconception about hypnotizing like it's not like you see on TV and... That's my birthday surprise, then you guys didn't do it. Adam's very bad. Adam's very bad. Adam's a coincidence. Welcome back to Adam Clue. Welcome back, dude. We missed vacation. Missed a... Picto. A great week to be away from SportsCenter radio. The All-Star Break. Yeah. All-Star Break was going on. It was a tough one. I just came in to give him a massage. Oh, good. So, for the content, actually the timing is pretty good. If you are just joining us, today's woods is 49th birthday. And Paulie and I have both set up a birthday surprise for woods, but I will admit that I could not have set mine up without the help of this person rising. He was... This was a collective effort. So, he gets just as much credit for your birthday present as I do. He knows deep in his heart that I am madly in love with him. Madly. This is all I've ever had. This is only going to make you feel even more warmly toward him. Paulie, if you would, unveil our present to Stephen Woods. This is Bummer and Sysa with an Odyssey Sports Minute. Today's birthday shout out goes to San Diego radio host Stephen Woods. Woodsie, as he is known to friends, is iconic in America's finest city for his Padres passion and musical knowledge, along with co-host Ben Higgins and producer Paul Reindel, Woods has helped turn 97-3 the fan into the number one radio station in town. Keep up the great work, Woodsie, and a happy birthday on Bummer and Sysa. I am... I am... You are welcome. I am so damn... I cannot believe what is happening right now. You know, it gets tough every year. You are like, "What do you get the guy that's shot at?" I was like going through like, "I have no idea what I'm going to get. What does he really want?" I know what he really wants. He wants Boomerah Sysa to shout out his birthday show. You know what? I have been planting that scene for like three days. I am going to talk to Adam. We are going to write some emails. I am going to write a script. We are going to see if we can get Boomerah Sysa to give him a birthday shout out. And there he did it. One more time. What did he charge you? This is Boomerah Sysa with an overseas sports man head. Today's birthday shout out goes to San Diego radio host Steven Woods. Woodsie as he is known to friends is iconic in America's finest city for his Padres passion and musical knowledge. Along with co-host Ben Higgins and producer Paul Reindel, Woods has helped turn 97-3 the fan into the number one radio station in town. Keep up the great work, Woodsie, and a happy birthday on Boomerah Sysa. It's the greatest gift of all time. It's so elite. It's so elite. I just am blown away. I truly am blown away. That is spectacular. All right. We've got, let's see. He dads on the line. Do you want to talk to him now? Yeah, Paul. He's present. That's tradition. Let's bring in Gary Woods. He's kind of late this morning. Yeah, he is. That's okay. It's a good time for it. This is a perfect segment. Gary, good morning. Can you believe that you have a 49 year old son now? Well, first I can't believe that, but following Boomerah, it's pretty tough. Are you on your potato phone selling Sammy Levitt over there? Hi, Paul. No, I'm headed to the doctor. Okay. Better. Better. No, I could not stop, but give you a happy birthday shout out. I love you. I appreciate it. Good luck. Good luck, Gary. I love going to Irish games, but I spend a lot of morning events. I don't know. If I love anything more than you three on the radio every morning. Appreciated, Pops. Thanks, dad. I love you. And what was I going to tell you? Couldn't be here, wouldn't be here without you. Well, that's not true, but I believe it. I don't know. I've heard I think it's kind of true, Gary. Absolutely. We all thank you for getting him to this point and to the man he is now. Pretty incredible. We're talking to Mike Schilt later. Any questions that you might have for him? You could ask my agent probably when you were conversing with him. Yeah, it'd be better with AJ, I think. That's true. I haven't had a chance to talk with Mike yet. Yeah. And next year, spring training, I do think a great bit would be to turn my dad loose on these guys. Give him a mic and let him go. I love you very much, dad. Thank you. No cleats. Thank you for your support of not only me, but of course, my family and then my work family here, our number one fan certainly. So I love you very much. Well, if you guys do have a great day, Stephen. All right, we will. I love you. All right. So Paul, he also got you something. Yeah. I have my top mine, honestly, however, we have a big dilemma here. So what I need you to do is because I need your natural reaction, we're going to play traffic. Okay. I need you to check your phone. Okay. I just sent you right now. Right now. Yeah. And I want you to listen to it during traffic because we can't have the microphones on wall for wall. You listen to your version. We will play an edited version and then we'll play an edited version when we come back. So what's he's going to play? So bring your check traffic. All right. Oh my God. We're going to check traffic and we'll explain right after this on 97.3 the fan. Okay. I know you're out there dying the YouTube chat who just saw what's these reaction can't. They are dying to know what he just watched on his phone from Paul Reindel for what's his birthday dying to know what it is. So Paul, if you kind of explain what just happened. And on the old cameo, just always a great, great gift idea. If you can find a good cameo and I'm searching around and I search to the name M dot R. Now, who is M dot R? If you aren't familiar. Big bomb, but I'll say no, the greatest woods has an unusual obsession. Who's his favorite human? My favorite human being. Yeah. Six months. Other than like you guys and my family. I'm not sure. It's him. I can't wait to hear you edit this. It's impossible. It's like, and Paul, he said, check your phone. As soon as I open, I saw his beautiful, beautiful face. Now he is an English rapper, but he wraps in, in Jamaican and he's like my favorite. He's all over Twitter and I tweet him all the time. I scream at my house.
