What kind of programs does this school have? How are the test scores? How many kids do a classroom? Homes.com, those are all things you ask when you're home shopping as a parent.

We've done your homework. It is that exciting time of year, though, where John Marosi and all these guys start throwing out situations, sources say there's one that John just tweeted. The Mariners and Rays, this is great, sources say that the Mariners and Rays have yet to engage in serious dialogue about Seattle's interest in adding an impact back. But the teams are frequent trading partners and talks could advance in the days ahead. Tampa Bay will listen on a Rosarina, Yondi Diaz, or Paredes in the right deal. Sales going. We've had a lot of success at the trade deadline with the Padres. Yes. Maybe we can have similar success with the Tampa Rays. Yes. Absolutely. What you can't? Is it really a report that they've sort of told them that they seriously talked? Sources have told them that they have not yet engaged in serious discussions. But the tough one to refute. It is. It is. No, no, no. Our talks have been quite serious. Thank you very much. Yes. They're just silly. Yeah. Exactly. They're just silly talks. They haven't had serious talks. It's more silly. Yeah, man. So there's going to be a lot of that coming out. You know, I, I, I would say avoid the noise, but I kind of like the noise. I like, I like those tweets. I like to, to try to start putting the puzzle. You can't completely avoid the noise because some of the noise ends up being true. There's always a certain percentage of these rumors that do end up panning out. It's just that usually like 80% of them don't. So you also have to take it all with a big grain of salt. But if you just ignored everything, you'd also miss out on the real kind of trends and you know, scoops that are coming out here before the trade deadline. It just, I just, I feel like there's going to be so, I feel like there's going to be a ton of activity, which if this year proves anything, that means there'll be three moves total for all teams. But I, I just feel that there's so many teams that think they're in it. There's so many owners that are under the pressure from their fan base, like Pittsburgh, like Baltimore. You know, I think Philly's going to be really active, dude. They've gotten so close. I just feel like there's going to be so many buyers right now. Honestly, I don't know if this is the right decision or not, but I don't have a lot of trade deadline talks scheduled for the round table. Five by me. At 10 o'clock, I feel like we've had those discussions over the past month. Yeah. What we all know at this point, kind of what the Padres need, who the options are potentially out there, what the costs could potentially be. And how we feel about it. I don't think anything's really changed in the last week or two. Yeah. I need money in the chat says, how do we add to the rotation and bullpen, not trade our top two prospects and stay under the luxury tax? It's the most unenviable job in being morning, AJ. Good luck. I mean, it's, it's a really unenviable position, but again, we would like to have our cake. We want to eat it too. Yeah. Yeah. And then have more of it. Top pieces of cake to eat. But I think, but then we also need to have cakes left over afterwards as well after we've eaten it. We want it to still be sitting there. Still have a bunch left. Yeah. That's the tough part. And look at, again, you can't let AJ Preller off the hook in that in that this is a, this is the corner that he's kind of painted himself into by going out, which we love, Louisa rise, we love Dylan C's, but you've now, we wouldn't be 50 and 49 without them. So I shudder to think where we would be without a rise and see some particular. But this is the court. This is the job. He's painted himself into this and he's got to figure his way out. Well, speaking of eating, I believe we have the newest ballpark food, extravaganza coming your way. They did it again as part of this edition of the Rindle Report and get things started here with our edition today's edition of the Rindle Report. Welcome to the Rindle Report with Paul Rindle. Hi, Paul. All right. Two stories from the world of sports that we haven't gotten to yet. We'll start off in major league baseball and one story that you didn't know you needed. Are you laughing, be hot. It's the Rindle Report. Hey, Paul. How you doing? Okay. How are you? Are you the fan? Are you ready to bless the mood? I need some help, please. That was good. Can I get a hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo? Yeah. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Good morning, my friends. Good morning. How you feeling, guys? Good. Really good. Nice and refreshed from that hypno therapy this morning? Yes. Feel great. Woods. Sleep. Doesn't work. No, no. You don't know what you're just out of hypnosis. That's not. All right. Just checking. What does that red door make you feel? That's maroon. Yeah. And I hate maroon. It's probably my least favorite color. Maroon. I can't stand it. Really? Yeah. Maroon. Low that. Low that. Like USC colors. Like that part of it. I just thought I'd never liked it. I just always thought it was not great. Yeah. You're not a big fan of the band. Maroon 5 either. You know that. You know that. I don't mind spending any night. Did they moves like jagger? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's no reason for it. None. No reason for that band. They've made a lot of money and been very successful. It's true. They would say there's probably a reason for that song. I don't get it, man. I do not get it. We talked about it briefly a couple weeks ago. I watched that Nickelback documentary. Why did they get so much hate? Yeah. Maroon 5 just stages by. We just put Maroon 5 on a pedestal. Yeah. 100%. Let's see how many things we can make Adam Levine do. Yeah. Flip it. That should be flipped. Flipped. I agree. Yeah. Anyways. Look. Flow. Flow week in sports. Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Slowest days of the entire year, I think. On the sports calendar. But we got a couple stories here. So yesterday. Now, then did you say this is the last WNBA game for the next few weeks? Yeah. So they have the All-Star break followed by the Olympic break. So I don't think there's another real game for almost like a month. The All-Star break already. WNBA season is not that long. Yeah. The draft was like a month ago. Yeah, it was. Kaitlyn Clark. Kaitlyn Clark was playing for Iowa like six weeks ago. It's like an adult ball season. Pretty much. So yesterday in the WNBA, Kaitlyn Clark made history once again for women's basketball. She had 19 assists in their loss to Dallas. They lost to the wings 101 to 93, but she had 19 assists for Indiana and that is a WNBA record. What are your guys's honest, genuine thoughts on the assist? Is it like, you know how people argue against RBI all the time in baseball? They argue against it. I don't, hitting with runners in scoring position, driving in runs is hard. It's hard to do. But things have to go your way. Like is Alec Baum truly a great RBI man or he obviously can't do it without the guys in front of us? The assist guy. This is a good question. If I pass it to the best player on my team who makes everything, do I get credit? Not all assists are created equal. You're absolutely right. I agree. Something prettier than the guy who drives the lane. Does the no look behind his back feed to a guy who then dunks it? They collapse him. He throws behind him. That's an incredible assist. So good. But if I dribble up, Pauli's under, Pauli's underneath and I go, oh, Pauli's got a foot advantage. I throw him the ball. He turns around and drops on it or the point guard brings the ball up court and sees Steph Curry wide open, simple pass, three ball. That's an assist. Or even worse, you've got like three on the shot clock and you wildly just throw it to someone because you don't want to take the shot and then they wildly throw it up and make it. You just got an assist for that when your teammate calls it a time bomb. I'm not. I think assists are important to count. I mean, look, I play a lot of basketball at the recreational level and they're stoked when you get a good assist. Yeah. Yeah. And there's just times where you're like, look, I just don't have it offensively right now. So I'm going, it's another form of an assist. I'm going to be setting off ball screens or I'm going to be moving without the ball. I'm going to lock my guy down defensively because I can't score a lick right now. You don't get that credit for that. You don't get those in the, in the, that's the, that's the, that's the, that's the, but I kind of taken the extra base on a bobble, things like that. Yeah. I think the, the Caitlin Clark haters and you know that they're out there. They're very conflicted because they're going, yeah, well, they lost again. So what she said, an individual record doesn't matter if your team doesn't have any success. Very selfish of her, but it's an assist record. It's, it's in a record passing to other teammates being unselfish. I bet you there are players though, where the coach is like, Hey, stone passes. I don't want you, uh, dishing as much as you're dishing. I need you shooting. Yeah. I, I'm fine. I vote, you know, triple double. It's awesome. Rebounce. Look at that. Look at that. Like, he throws a lot of passes that could be more assists in his teammates. Don't make the shot. It's like, why don't you just go ahead and take it. By the way, this is not. It's hard fade away yourself, Luca, don't give it to your open teammate. This is not an indictment on Caitlyn. I've always had this thought about the assist of like, Oh, all right, it's a, it's a stat in, in which you don't have a lot of control. Like I passed, you know, somebody asked me the second guy can get, you get two assists across, you have passed it to someone else who then makes the really good pass to someone for the assist. Same across. Yeah. I really didn't do anything at all, but I got credit for an assist. Yep. People in the chat are talking about, uh, what about Angel Reese's rebounds? Have you seen this going around the, the, she said how to streak of double doubles, but somebody posted, I saw it yesterday, the, um, a screenshot of the play by play of their game and it was like Angel Reese, Angel Reese missed layup, Angel Reese offensive rebound, Angel Reese missed layup, Angel Reese offensive rebound, Angel Reese offensive rebound, she just had a huge size advantage. Yeah. And in some sense, even on defense, the offensive team clears out because they know they can't get it. So they don't even contest it sometimes on the rebound. It gives her a lot of easy rebounds. I do feel like I do, but she has to be Angel Reese for that to happen. This is incredible. This is the incredible boomer. I do feel like rebounds in the eighties were a lot tougher to come by than rebounds today. I really do. Not all rebounds are created. And you're absolutely right, but I do the incredible boomer does say the ball from farther away. It's going to be longer longer as your rebounds. It's true. That's all part of it. But anyways, let's get to the big story here. The Kansas City Royals, they did it again. They've done it again. I saw the post from John boy media that says the Royals have unveiled the mother of all ballpark food. You seen it yet? That wrote up here. I just saw it two minutes ago. So it's called the Taste of the Kay Taka. Oh my god. And I don't even know where to begin, but it is a it looks like a hot dog. No, I can't tell if the hot dog's cut up on John boys got the description, but it looks like the hot dog is cut up. But there it is a hot dog wrapped in a cheeseburger quesadilla, which again, a lot of questions already. What is a cheeseburger quesadilla topped with barbecue brisket French fries lettuce pickled onions, sriracha cracker jacks, which I didn't know existed and barbecue sauce thing looks no. Now, remember, I don't know why the lettuce is in there. That's that seems completely purple, Lewis, it's healthy now, it's a salad, basically it's healthy, really the thing looks now again. We did this whole story on the Reese's brisket right about yeah, a little two years ago, right? Yeah. And I went, there's the one that you had when I tried it, you see that bad boy again, it was cut up Reese's peanut butter cups inside a pork, pork, barbecue sandwich, bacon bits, which made it by the way, and barbecue sauce. And I was like, you'd have to be insane to eat it. I bought one. I ate it melts though. Reese's just perfectly. It was it was it was beyond spectacular. It was beyond spectacular. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Now this one looks a little bit different. The one thing I think I would bang on this is the hot dog, I would get rid of the hot dog. Not the Cracker Jacks. No, the Cracker Jacks would be their sriracha Cracker Jacks. So you got. Are they also sweet though? They're like the caramel and then they just add some sriracha to it for a little sweet heat. I like sweet heat. I think it looks like that. I think it looks speck it take that is that one wiener sticking out of that right there and I get that wiener out of there and just give me the I think I could I don't mind wrapping things in a case of Dia. I don't know that any cheeseburger inside the case of Dia as well. Yeah, like tortilla meat and cheese tortilla yep and then a taco shell and then it's more of a Molita with like two two tortillas and then sandwich together than a case of Dia. My absolute kryptonite in San Diego my favorite dish in San Diego that I've ever eaten. It's my favorite burrito from Trujillo's by San Diego State right on campus in the case of Dia. It's the Sigma Pi is a California burrito wrapped in a cheese case to Dia. So it's like tortilla melted cheese burrito and it is I had it once like the first weekend of my freshman year in 2009 and it's been my go to on their menu what 15 years now it's unreal. I like the Taco Bell when I've been the mood once a year when I eat my once a year Taco Bell I like that double decker the soft tortilla with the beans then the hard shell then the meat that softness into the crunchiness I love so I think I would I have to say that I have seen the the case of Dia wrapped around the California burrito before and as much as I'd like to it's a line that personally I won't cross you won't do it I just feel like once I go to the case of Dia wrapped burrito that's pretty much the end and as long as I stay away from that once a year I can have a burrito I can do it every once in a while but once you go to the burrito wrapped in a case of Dia you've done something kind of evil yeah you feel like you can never come back you feel like you just went to a massage part oh I want it I want to go no no I want the case Dia wrapped burrito I really do but I feel like what I love it so much that I can't go back to a regular burrito after that it's the same and then it's like oh no I know that I've tasted nirvana and then I can never go back because you can't just make a case Dia wrapped burrito your regular order I mean that was my favorite I would make it six months I had a burrito with a tequito like pretty much jam right in the middle of the burrito I've done that I can stay away from that one that's spectacular good but it gets a little bready inside with the tour with the tart double wrap tortilla thing looks really good honestly except for the hot dog the hot dog would be the thing that threw me off it doesn't I don't think it belongs with the rest of it it's not really ballpark food without the hot dog in there sure it is yeah sure it is one more time the taste of cake taco is a hot dog wrapped in a cheeseburger quesadilla top it's a hot dog essentially this item is a hot dog everything else is just dressing for the hot dog it's a hot dog take that thing wrapped in a cheeseburger quesadilla topped with barbecue brisket french fries lettuce pickled red onions nice little tanginess sriracha cracker jacks and eight one six sauce which is a barbecue sauce yep okay it does look it does look pretty good what we have one nine sausages cracker jacks or those like made in the ball maybe it's made I've never heard of it before that just what would six one nine so if they have eight one six sauce and it's a barbecue sauce what would six one nine sauce be some sort of a blending of chipotle sauce of some sort of yes yeah avocados give her mixture salsa you ever mix the green and red and the the of the no no I have it's good try I mean I'll I'll have a breed on some bites I'll do red and some bites I'll do green but I'll never do both at the same time double dipping spectacular I feel like you're you're melding flavors that weren't meant to be melded that's that's why I you know it was one or the other they always say I have the palette of a six year old I think it's you if you want to have half the breeder with green and half with red I respect I love that put them together but not at the same time put them together try it next time it seems a little deviant it is very deviant you know how my god created red and green salsa for a reason they're totally different flavors and you want to add the tangy what's on the tea onus of the green great if you want to add the fiery red chilliness what's the other great what's the other one the haban yuri orange delicious that is also good delicious put it all makes it all in one try it sickening Mexican food after the yeah I was just thinking the same thing after my round table pizza of course which we're going to wrap in a quesadilla for you yes yes some brisket stuffed in a full roasted chicken after a turducken red vs green sauce discussions like the bloods and cribs it's not it's you can put it all together it's the same time I'm a mixture yeah so you'd be both the blood and a crib yeah I think they allow that I'm a rip a crud hey guys I'm going to hang out with them hey cribs I'm actually hanging out with the bloods today yeah I'm I'm every man all right mix it together oh all right good job on the round of the report and we will come back we've got

there's some mixers in the in the chat they've got a lot of it all comes out in the same place in the end yeah it does I just feel like the flavors are very distinct on the red and green and I do like them both but I agreed with one of our listeners who said yeah greens better for like um like carnitas is good with green salsa if you're going to carne asada I think red tends to work a little bit better with that everyone has their own personal preferences I just feel like maybe I don't know I just feel like it's a totally different sauce if you mix them together which is the point it's totally different try yeah try it I think you'll I think you'll like it what color does it turn into I know yellow and blue make green what you green and red make I just pour like I do like a little dollop and then I take another doll I don't actually put them together and mix them with a spoon or anything I just a little of this little of that boom I have to be very careful when I'm eating the burrito that when you put the sauce on you get a bite all the way across to make sure you're right falling off all over your shirt and stuff well that that made me too much sauce on it's a problem that made me super hungry but the guy that made me the hungriest is our pal Adio B. Royster from Philly who was in for his yearly visit formerly lived in San Diego and worked in the radio business always comes in to hang out welcome back my yearly vacation your yearly vacation to America's finest now he's a Philly guy but he's a potter race fan but he was just I asked him the straight dope on cheese steaks in Philly I said you like cheese steaks he goes oh yeah of course and I said what's the best and then you told me don't go to the the two famous places yeah and Gino's never go to passenger you know it's passenger you know it's for tourists okay you go to Jim steaks preferably on South Street because they just did the big remodel but if you want your mind blown I do you go to Delos Andros cheese steaks is right in the Italian market three words guys garlic bread cheese steak the thought of it good God the thought of it makes my I'm like that's the cheese steak version of a quesadilla wrap burrito right there and you game all the way yeah I would take garlic bread and put the cheese here's the thing though garlic bread sometimes you get it from the Italian restaurant you dip it it's kind of soft it's like what's the word like not flaky but like um super buttery it's it's way it's too buttery sometimes I don't think that I don't think that that phrase should exist too buttery yeah it's too buttery it can be too buttery I don't think so it can be but that place has been around long enough to wear like they get the consistency down each time but this is not like garlic bread like Texas toast garlic bread it's not like that but they do have it's like a baguette I want to say yeah and then they just put just garlic bread ingredients on it they got toasted in the butter garlic yeah sometimes a little cheese and then add the cheese steak in between do you in and in Philly they I know they do cheese whiz on with whiz whiz yeah what whiz or without whiz do you put anything else on you just go meet cheese bread right it's just meat cheese bread I've covered onions as part of the onions yeah I've seen people put lettuce and tomatoes on cheese steak which is ungodly why are you doing that to a perfectly I've seen people put mayo on them which I can get down with because I like mayo no absolutely not I can do it absolutely not and there's no you don't dip it in anything no need to although a French although a French dip cheese they's probably a good idea oh yeah like a like an all you would be good Michelle and Chad says dollar sondras is fire oh my god I gotta get the yeah that it was trip man next year Philly I want to see the ballpark I want to schedule should come out like in the next month I want to see the crazy fans it's so far the flight the flight is so far speaking of Pennsylvania this week Cooperstown now that's actually New York that's upstate yeah I'm upstate New York yeah he's coast I forgot about the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies this week yes speaking of Philadelphia you know I do I do mess them up in my head because I've been to a little league World Series did you really well yeah they're actually kind of similar sort of towns and the you know the back upstate areas of the state but anyway I totally forgot did you remember that this weekend's the Hall of Fame induction you remember who is going in to the Hall of Fame this weekend zero percent so this weekend they're going to have Sunday is the official induction ceremony and the class is Adrian Beltray love it Todd Helton Joe Maurer and then Jim Leeland the former skipper good class good class really good class going in this weekend I have nothing nothing bad yeah I think I remember when they were doing I guess remember it was back in January when they announced and there was some talk about Joe Maurer who had the didn't have the length yeah length of his career yeah the girth was there necessarily length of his career but as good of catching seasons as anyone has really ever had he was awesome just didn't put up the 20 year numbers right some guys do to get to the Hall of Fame you know Todd Helton we got to see in his numbers you know some people said inflated by Coors Field and he was really good everywhere still got a hit and Adrian Beltray was one of those guys when you put his career altogether unbelievably spectacular career you never like sneaky yeah because you never thought of Adrian Beltray I mean he was an all-star but you never thought oh he's the best player in baseball he was staggered but you never you never thought that about Adrian Beltray at any moment you always fit he's he's probably one of the best player two or three players on that team we're playing right now but you never went who Adrian Beltray is coming to town we're going to get to see the best player in baseball this week that one of our beloved Manny Machado's favorite third baseman of all time as well he is Beltray I was in Texas for some of his run and he's beloved be loved by the players oh my god like one of the best teammates and guys of all time so I'm excited to see these dudes and he was a for me he was like he you know it reminds me it reminds me of pro far intense super intense but he had a he had a good smile and was a really he had a lot of fun playing the game of baseball which I always admired so gonna be really really cool to see that this weekend what was his uh what was his quirky thing don't was there the head don't touch me the head just later after the show Ben go on YouTube and type in Adrian Beltray Elvis Andrews yeah there's like ten minute long videos of the those two guys like no teammates have ever loved each other more than those two in particular and they would mess with each other like there'd be a high pop fly to short and Beltray would move about five feet to Andrews right for ten to catch it and try to throw him off maybe nervous every time he did I'm like stop dude you're gonna kill me they have a pitchers meeting on the mound you know making a pitching change and all the guys the whole infield would be in there and Elvis Andrews would come up and just try to grab Beltray's head and he's like kind of me touching you like you hate to be touched I like to give you a good point yeah in fact I would well I would say watch that before the induction uh the uh Hall of Fame ceremony this weekend because I guarantee you Elvis Andrews will be a part of uh Adrian Beltray's traveling party or something yeah I just looked up a story and I just this quote introducing him from Joey Gallos stands out he says Adrian Beltray is never actually really mad at anyone he's fake mad a lot he's fake mad a lot I love that fake mad I love it it's greatness all right we have a one segment left and then of course a round table we're gonna throw up back on a Thursday a little grand slam talk if you remember uh something that Paulie's pulled from the archive so we'll get to that coming up next with Beno Woods on San Diego's number one sports station 97 three the fan final segment of Beno Woods on a Thursday but not gonna last you'll hear from us today or she'll be here and the rest of the gang is on their way in and gathering in our sound stage where we'll do the round table coming up from 10 to 11 o'clock this morning minus of course Tony Gwen jr or is he gonna be here I don't know they're flying out I assume to Cleveland today you don't you know wait until the last minute Potter's have a game tomorrow so my guess is that uh there's some travel going on with San Diego Padres today I don't know what their their schedule is I'm assuming uh well no when we talk to Mike Schilt tomorrow he will be in Cleveland as they have a game exactly tomorrow night so my guests have to get there today they are on I don't know what time they leave it in the morning to leave in the afternoon I think any chance you get you take to get to Cleveland as early as possible you take it you know to take in the sights go down to the flats uh flats are actually a really fun part of Cleveland Cleveland's not that bad and they have their once they have a rock and roll Hall of Fame phenomenal so much fun so it's a really cool cool looking building it's it's it's incredible don't you actually been in the oh yeah Hall of Fame oh yeah yeah yeah I we used to tell me about it we used to go uh from Chicago weird you'd leave Chicago for a weekend which he does a little intense go to Cleveland go down to the flats hang out and then which is like a bar area on the water and then we went to the rock and roll Hall of Fame because I had to go and it was it was awesome I mean you're like oh that's Keith Moon's drums like it's just if you like Hall's of Fame's then that's one for you well it's one for me and he's just Hall's of Fame Hall's of Fame's like many things in one holes in one holes in one holes in one holes in one holes of fame holes of fame it's a good one it's a really good thing they do a good job that you know and this is twenty five years ago so I'm sure now they're like you can actually be Jimmy Payne he's like where is guitar I have no idea what it's like now but it was great then not a uh it's a ballpark I wouldn't mind seeing progressive field yep formerly Jake Jacob Field the Jake the Jake was definitely one of the first of the retro type ballparks that really revolutionized baseball out of course an influence on Peckel Park Peckel Park I think straddles the line between the old and the new really really well it's not the it's not a full old timey ballpark it's very modern and new but it's also got some of that older look especially with the western metal supply company and such as the best ballpark they do it really well but they wouldn't have that without Camden Yards and Jacob's Field were two of the first that changed things from cookie cutter round stadiums to uh to the new style that we we have come to enjoy now I would trade uh I would trade Peckel Park's look and ambiance for the record of the Cleveland Guardians right now though twenty nineteen games over five hundred with it's staggering what it would a great job um Steven Vod has done and and the team and Jose Ramirez like it's again it's one of those guys where like we're playing them and I hope he goes over twelve this weekend but a guy that every time I watch play I'm like he's absolutely elite and I love everything about him and uh they got they got a couple guys on that team I really enjoy watching play Stephen Kwan's another one um it's gonna be a tough it's gonna be a tough tough series now we'll talk about it more tomorrow and again Mike Chilt will join us at nine o'clock in the manager's report right now though we'll check a traffic and then we get some throwback Thursday fun for you on the other side here on ninety seven three the fam all right Pauli what have you pulled from the archives for us today let's see we are going back to April early April the beginning of the Padre season this is earlier this year we're doing this yeah we're doing a first half review of throwback Thursday it's kind of a throwback Thursday but it's we've been doing the first half Ben and Woods look backs fun moments in Ben and Woods history for this year and let me pull up the call we had a grand slam from jerks and pro far earlier in the year I believe it was April 7th and of course when we have a big moment we like to go and pull all the calls right and it's Don it's Jesse maybe you get the opposing team we'll get Eddie Ortega and of course we get our friends from the Korean broadcast and so we played pro far as grand slam we'll play it back for you here this was April 6th against the Giants incredible I don't know if those are the same guys that we heard later in the season though I don't either I'm not even sure they're all elite yeah every call from the Korean folk are just phenomenal so I believe that was on a weekend and because we came in a couple of days later and well did the segment and so I'm wondering do they have a boss that's like hey he's making the call or is there boss just like hey do whatever you guys want because like right then do some play by play for this home run and I'll be his partner it's the it's and you play you make the noises in the back that one's ready I'm gonna yeah because like they just they just talk over each other the whole time it's so good all right here we go bases loaded here's the pitch to pro far swung on and driven deep and high down the right field line is a good of state on your way into work and you want to keep listening yes you have to be part of the part of the honestly out and honestly not bad he can't just download the app or visit autocy.com search 973 the fan they click on the show runs the bases download the autocy app today to get started in this game they take the lead over the giant tune in every Thursday at 10 a.m. and 97-3 to fan round take the driving nuts like I love it everybody just talking over each other if I was their boss I'd be like fellas you got to come in here for a minute and have a little conversation can we do hand signals some sort of some sort of cue because when it happens they just start going both of them one kind of off mic one calling the action and it is I mean I love it because it's like it's train wreck radio but it's for radio purposes it's probably not the best do you remember when we first started the show and we're trying to figure out like what what each hand signal would would mean like actually like talked about it like all right I do this or I do that you know and every you know now I don't we never even think about it I thought you were going to talk about so in the when you were doing the play by play there before I started screaming and before woods jumped in and started reading odyssey liners I could hear you you had a call back to one of our earlier moments as a show you said take your trot jurison pro trotter and that was when we tried to all do our own home run what would our home run call us be our signature catch phrase and yours was take your trot frenchy gordero I but no back in those are I'll never forget the first like week on the air on the very first show I was on the first time I got the hand to my face and then one hand to your face was I was like oh then you would get the two hands out and it was like I'll just I'll just sit back and I didn't realize that that's how you you know you have you have to do it sometimes well yeah you yeah I mean you've been hosting for by yourself for a while a lot of things you don't need to worry about any other people talking no no I'm not our show the very first show yeah very first show I was on and I didn't know anything about this business and the first time I got the hand up the Heisman and I was I felt like an idiot you know and then the the two would come out when the two came out it was like go ahead you know and it I was I took it personally but then you realize it's actually better you need like let me get through this do I not do it enough I feel I don't think any of us do it enough I I also don't want you to feel bad if I'm like I'm trying to cut you off woods I don't feel like your contributions are less value no you need to stop talking so I can start talking that's not what it's going that's not what's going on no but there's a there after a while you know the chemistry starts to kick in and I can look at your face and go he's ready or I'm ready you know whatever so you have to do that we do that with interviews a lot hey I got one little follow up I'll give you the little the little pinch you know like the hang one reset the name of this guest reset the name of the finger wrap it up wrap it up is a bigger a bigger finger swing is remember and then got yeah in our old station out I try to give because our old executive producer a hand signal oh we had a hand vid about it we did a hand signal we'd go like this to each other quietly off the air that said hey reset we'll tell everybody what you're doing you're like rolling your hands over each other like traveling traveling whatever and it was uh that was reset the subject yeah reset hey we're talking to you know whoever the hell we talked it was been a while we had drawn means yeah new listeners are popping in they hear a voice that's unfamiliar part of radio mechanics is you should probably you know doesn't even have to be with an interview it could just be like anyway we're talking about the Padres you know top 10 draft picks or whatever and our old boss was talking and he saw Ben give that hand signal to woods saying hey when he come back reset when he's done talking reset what we're discussing here for the audience you got your ass chewed he thought he was telling him to wrap it up and after the he left first of all he did not come back to the show that morning yeah he just went in his office and did not talk to us the rest of the day and then we had one of our daily show meetings that we had to do the boss's office every single day after our show and he ripped into Ben the likes of which it's pro he's almost certainly the maddest of bosses ever been at me in my life hundred percent and it was the most we're like oh you don't know no no no i'm not trying to tell you like you don't get it but you don't get it like bro you're misinformed it was not directed at you at all it was actually talking to woods the trauma that i've endured we've endured and this job is staggering when i think i don't let myself think about it very much because i never had a panic attack in my life till i started working in radio and it was it was a jar it was a jarring moment for me jar i'm used to usually just getting praise from bosses like the job and the work Ben it's just pretty much how it's always gone so to really be you're unreal like have an angry man chewing me out about war at it and when i explained what he thought i was doing i could see okay that that would be very rude if i had just done that in the middle of what he was saying wrap it up yeah you're idiot wrap it up we don't want to hear what you know i hear anything you want to say come on just wrap it up if that's what he thought i can understand why he took offense to it even though that wasn't my intention at all yeah you're gonna want to get clarification on something first before you go chewing somebody out like that i i guys again i had blocked that from my memory and i think to his credit after we explained it he did kind of cool off well what what's the alternative you can't still be mad have you met people before i thought once you're mad they just stay mad no matter what for the rest of their lives some people have a problem admitting i might have been wrong there correct yeah hundred percent oh my god i've forgotten about that yeah the hand signals uh we don't really have to do them during the round table because you go to people not much sometimes right at the end if i know because we have to hard out one hour of commercial free radio and i'll have to like you know all right we got keep it short sort of thing and i'll give a look at least or i'll even say out loud hey do you have 30 seconds for this last answer just because i know we're approaching the end of the hour and we are approaching the end of this hour we are only to go and do another hour right now but um i don't know uh keep stay tuned keep the local listings for when the next round tables are going to be because the schedule gets weird there's a morning game next Thursday and then we talked about a special round table for the trade deadline wall while you're gone so you don't think he would move it to a Wednesday or we're off early next week that's that's what i'm saying next don't think he'll move it it's not like it's set in stone no you're i'm about to chew your ass out after this what do you think he does he's not gonna notice like oh that's our hope but you certainly wouldn't bring him bring that was ever mentioned to it they play at 9.05 next Thursday he's the guy he's gonna make him do a round table at like two o'clock Thursday we'll already be in like the third or fourth inning at this point he's he's the kind of guy that's like hey you know you forgot to give out homework yeah teacher he's gonna text at him hey i just noticed the schedule is pretty light should we move it to a Tuesday or Wednesday which you know he's gonna do no i can't move it to a Tuesday i'm busy that i'm swashing my hair i have slammed that day all right i'll see you uh in a minute we've got something fun tomorrow morning what's got planned it is also someone's birthday tomorrow oh boy and uh we got some surprises for woodsy so that is coming up tomorrow with Ben & Woods thanks to poly as always we'll talk you on the round table coming up next year on sandy egos number one sports station 97 three the fan talk to you in a minute final segment of Ben & Woods on a Thursday but not the last you'll hear from us today or she'll be here and the rest of the gang is uh on their way in and the gathering in our uh sound stage where we'll do the round table coming up from 10 to 11 o'clock this morning minus of course Tony Gwen jr or is he gonna be here why don't know they're flying out i assumed to cleveland today you don't you know wait until the last minute potters have a game tomorrow so my guess is that uh there's some travel going on with sandy egopadres today i don't know what their their schedule is i'm assuming uh well no when we talk to mike shilt tomorrow he will be in cleveland as they have a game exactly tomorrow night so my guess is to get there today they are on i know what time they leave you leave in the morning do they leave in the afternoon i think any chance you get you take to get to cleveland as early as possible you take it you know to take in the sights go down to the flats uh flats are actually a really fun part of cleveland cleveland is not that bad and they have their wants they have a rock and roll hall of fame phenomenal so much fun so much fun it's a really cool cool looking building it's it's it's incredible going if you actually been in the rock hall of fame oh yeah yeah i we used to tell me about it we used to go uh from shickers weird you'd leave chicago for a weekend which he does a little intense go to cleveland go down to the flats hang out and then which is like a bar area on the water and then we went to the rock and roll hall of fame because i had to go and it was it was awesome i mean you're like oh that's keith moons drums like it's just if you like hauls of fames then that's one for you well it's one for me and he's just hauls of fame hauls of fames many fames holes in one holes in one holes in one holes in one holes of fame hauls of fame it's a good one it's a really good one they do a good job that you know and i this is 25 years ago so i'm sure now they're like you

jake was definitely one of the the first of the retro type ball parks that really revolutionized baseball have of course an influence on pecko park um pecko park i think straddles the line between the old and the new really really well it's not the it's not a full old timey ball park it's very modern and new but it's also got some of that older look especially with the western metal supply company and such they're because of best ball park they do it really well but uh they wouldn't have that without candy yards and jakeops field were two of the first that changed things from cookie cutter round stadiums to uh to the new style that we we have come to enjoy now i would trade uh i would trade pecko park's look and ambiance for the record of the cleveland guardians right now though 2019 games over 500 with it's staggering what it what a great job um steven vote has done and and the team and hosey remarris like it's again it's one of those guys where like we're playing them and i hope
