If I get three pairs of shoes from a collective 14 gifts, I'm good. On today's program, we flip the script on "Boney." With our 141, his second home run in his many nights and his 37th of the year. Today, we stick him under the lights and shove a mic in his face. And I mean, we're flying through these treeline trails going a thousand miles an hour. He is CBS Sports Radio host and the executive producer of the "Bone Podcast." Rich Herrera. I want to know about you guys. What was light like growing up around your dad while he was playing with you guys were younger? Now, in its fourth year, this is the "One and Only" red "Bone Podcast." Welcome, everybody. It is the latest edition of "Turning To" with "Boney" here on the "Bone Podcast." I'm the executive producer and host of the "Infinity Sports Network" Rich Herrera. That is the aforementioned Brent Boon. Where the hell are you? We are in Kona, Hawaii, day five, day five. Beautiful place. I pretend to have a relaxing trip. My wife is really enjoying it, but Rich, I'll be honest, I'm not a vacation guy. She put me in the sand a couple days. That's great. Couple virgin cocktails. That's great. I want to go home. But I pretend, "Oh, it was so relaxing." It was so fun. "Hey, how was your trip?" "Oh, to die for." It was wonderful. Really, I don't need to come here. I like it. It has been very nice. The food has been great, but I'm not really a vacation guy. I'm a golf vacation guy, not an R&R guy laying on the beach, lounge, being pampered. That's not my thing. Well, okay. Then I do have to ask this question, "You're in Kona, Hawaii. What do they have in so appealing in Kona?" This place we're staying at is tremendous. I don't know, but why do people go to Hawaii? They don't have a TV here. Well, this is the island, the big island, so you've got the lava everywhere. A lot of history, we were downtown last night. That was actually kind of cool. I went by the King's house. Okay, but no, no, no, but why do people go to Hawaii? When I say Hawaii, what do people think of? Island. And hula dancers. And lulouse. And getting laid. I don't know. The beach. Well, we live on the beach. I know. So why do you have the worst vacation planner? You live in San Diego and you decide, "I'm going to go on vacation." I live in San Diego. How far are you from the beach, like five, ten minutes? Yeah. Five. Five minutes. No, no, no, wait a minute. You live five minutes from Torrey Pines in San Diego, which beach do you live near? Delmar. All right. You're five minutes from Delmar Beach. And I'm going to go on vacation. I'm going to fly all this time and I'm going to head to another beach that's further away from my house. Why don't you single them? I agree with you. Well, that's different though. Oh, why it's different. You know, it's a different type of beach, it's a little different climate. You live in San Diego, people come on vacation to your town. Well, here's the deal. All right. Why do I do it? My wife enjoys it. She's a school teacher and she's got to go back to school here soon. So getting her out of the house away for five days from the kids, having people wait on her. She can sit at the pool, read her books, not get distracted. That's what it's really for. And I'm just along for the ride and, you know, by the end, I start to bitch a little bit. A little bit. Yeah. But I mean, look, the place is awesome. This is the room. We got little bungalows, really, really nice. And so I'm not complaining. I can sleep in. I don't have kids. Well, I did have kids calling me yesterday, Dad, can you get us tickets to the Padres game? We only need five. Who are they playing? The Dodgers. How long? When did it start in an hour? Oh, no problem. So that's the only distraction I've had. Yeah. Okay. And then you were in New York to go see your New Jersey to go see Jake play. Now you're in line. We went to Jake. Yeah. Got a little time with dad. Went back for three or four days to see Jacob. Jake was doing really well, came home. And now I stop home. I fly out tonight. I get home tomorrow. We got a day off. Maybe I'm going to go get a spray tan and go to, uh, go to Seattle for it. Wow. You're in Hawaii. People go to Hawaii and go. Let me see. I'm going to sit in the beach and get a tan. Now I will go get a pretty rich, rich, rich. I gave that to you just so you'd have something to laugh and talk about now. I'm going to get home and I'm going to have two days. I got to go up to Seattle, uh, do a little on air with Mr. Riz. Right. Riz, uh, we're going to throw out a first pitch off the right. We're going to throw out a first pitch Sunday, take in the game. And then Monday we've got a golf tournament charity event with our friend up in Seattle Dave Softie, Moller, uh, and then I'll come home and then we've got another trip. We've got another trip, but we'll save that for next turning two. Okay. Uh, a couple of things I want to get to, uh, let's, and we're going to do a short show today because Brett's on vacation and I don't want his wife yelling at him. Trade deadline, uh, just go rapid fire. Don't, don't go, don't go down the rabbit hole with me. Just rapid fire. So I get through everything. Uh, did New York and the, the aforementioned mariners do enough at the trade deadline. I think the Mariners did enough, uh, Yankees, they got Chisholm and, uh, obviously he's in his first two games hit four home runs. So, and they've won five in a row, um, I don't think they needed to do that much. They just needed to shake up, uh, something, sometimes it gets a little stale. It's good to see DJ LeMayhew hit a grand slam yesterday. He's really been struggling and they, and they put a lot of, you know, they rely on him quite a bit. I don't know if they necessarily needed a ton, got five healthy starters yet. It's always nice to get a boost, but the, the, we've talked about it on previous shows. It's just the inventory isn't out there. The scoobles and the crochets weren't available. So I, I think New York is fine. The guys that did, well, I think the Mariners did well for themselves. They got a rose arena, uh, Turner Garcia is an untalked about guy. He's going to be a real help in the pen with Matt Brash, Miss and the entire season with Tommy John, um, and the Mariners are playing a lot better. A rose arena haven't, have not having a great year as a lady swinging the bat. Well, Justin Turner, 39 years old, well traveled, really good baseball player has been for a long time. A lot of winning teams. I think the personalities are going to play more than the skill set that they just traded for. Rose Arena, we all know his personality, he's, he's out there and I think that's going to push a young Julio Rodriguez, a little bit, uh, in that capacity, right? And I think a, uh, a Turner is a well respected throughout the game of baseball by everybody's 39 years old. He's been there, done that, been on, been to a lot of post seasons and he's almost a father figure in a clubhouse full of young players. If that makes sense, he's almost an Edgar Martinez at the end of his career. Just that calming influence that sits at the end of the, if you have anything to get off your chest, you go to daddy and I think Turner's going to be that type of guy. I think a real win for the Mariners and I also think the Padres did really well for themselves. They gave, they gave every bit of their minor league system away. They gave well, I'll tell you what, they go all in. Well, I thought, I thought with the Padres, uh, you know, I thought they were going to address the starting rotation with Musgroves and Darvish missing so much time, but they went the other way and they bolstered that bullpen and they've got now probably the best bullpen in baseball and that's what plays in the postseason in 2020. One surprising thing, Rich, that I saw the franchise that never continues, doesn't, it never fails to impress me as the Tampa Bay Rays. They're three and a half out in the wild card. They gave away every player they have. Yes. And, but you know what, they're the one organization. I don't question. I don't question them. And I don't question them making the postseason. It wouldn't shock me because they've, they've shocked me for the last decade. Eric Neander, who's the general manager. He was actually roommates with one of my interns when I worked there and I think Eric's brilliant. Um, he and Jeff McQueen were roommates, so I got to know both of them fairly well and now that he's gone on to take over. The interesting part was the Rose rain is going to get too expensive with arbitration. So with Tampa Bay, they either buy out your arbitration in your first couple of years or free agency or they let you walk. And I think that Eric did this. He probably was listening to our podcast and he heard what, what Jim Bowden was saying because I, I stole this. I've been using this line all week on the network that somebody could have made a Jerry Jones type of move. Remember Jerry Jones, um, and Jimmy Johnson had, um, Herschel Walker for the Dallas Cowboys. They traded him to Minnesota and got a king's ransom back in return. So Eric got a bunch of prospects back, uh, the Blue Jays who didn't move Vlad Guerrero in a, in a, in a seller's market. They could have pulled off a Dallas cowboy type of deal as much as they had there, take their big boys, package them because there wasn't a lot out there. There was not a lot of movement because there were no big names that you could get. You were going to be aircraft carriers of Vlad would have been one and I think JB was right. The Blue Jays could have got a king's ransom back in return. Your NFL Sundays are about to get a whole lot more magical.

Jim Bowden, who's on the podcast Monday, said, "Boonie, I told you a year ago the angels should have traded shohayotani at the deadline. They could re-bolts their entire roster." And he says, "Now we're sitting here and they're not going to trade Vladimir Guerrero." He told me that. And they're going to regret it. Time will tell. You know, I look at the Blue Jays, too, and they've got, you know, a Gossman and a Barrios and a Bassett. They move Kakuchi. But I thought it was the point. I didn't believe the Toronto Blue Jays when they said they weren't going to sell their big guys. They were going to keep Vlady and the Boba Shets and make one more run. I didn't believe them, but that deadline came and went and they're still sitting there in Toronto. Could you imagine what you have got for Bischette Vlad? I could have taken half your team. I could have taken every prospect. I could have reloaded with you. And that's how the Dallas Cowboys won all those Super Bowls. So there's an opportunity. And I think that Jim Bowden will be right. We're going to see it sooner rather than later. Some teams going to just wave the white flag early. He talked about the Chicago White Sox. They did it in 1997, wave the white flag. Everybody got mad. A couple of years later, they're world champions. So I get it. We'll see what happens. All right. I'm going to try something new. Yeah. All right. Mike, our producer has a little bit of sound. Brett, I'm going to play this sound for you. Let me describe it to the folks that are listening. Buster Red Sox. You know, the green monster, and now they have the seats on top of the green monster. There was a can of corn over the top of the green monster. And I mean, this thing was the biggest can of corn, just the soft pillowy baseball that just landed in this guy's lap. And he did this either up against it or over it. But that guy's got to make this catch. Oh, look at him. I mean, you've got to make this catch. Look at looking right next to you. She's got the glove. She can't believe it. Totally humiliated. I mean, at least bring it in, right, get it in the front row and you can tackle it. The ball went right to him, but hit him in the hands, drop the next one. The wife was wearing a glove. The wife was wearing a glove. The girl next to him was wearing a glove. He has it and it just comes like it could have been a Willie Mays basket catch. It was so easy. I mean, it was just this lazy fly ball and even when the ball gets to the arc at the very, very top of the apex and it kind of just sits there for a second before gravity starts bringing it down. That's where it was. I mean, booney, literally, it's like getting a ball handed to you from a three month old. It was so soft and it hit his hands and he dropped it. Life goes off. No, no, but as a player, you ever laugh sometimes when you watch guys, they bring their glove or they reach out to get the ball and you could just tell they have no athletic ability. It just hits some of the hands and they drop it. No, I'm more and, you know, it's more of those hot shots and this is before the screens were up before the screens, we just hit a bullet, you know, laid on a fastball bullet and it's that oozing look on your face like, Oh, don't because you don't want to see somebody get smoked. Right. Right in the face. And I've seen some, you know, I've seen a couple pretty bad ones where you really do feel bad. It's like, now it's never happened to me. Thank goodness. But because when you hit a ball that hard on a line, you just hope and I hope somebody's paying attention. Right. And I hope it and I hope it misses them. Well, there's that one because that one famous pitcher, Jim Rice, carrying a kid who got smoked. Yeah. By a foul ball and he carries them off. Okay. Majorly baseball does a nice job now with the screens with the next job. The screen. Yeah. But I was also thinking about this, the guy, the interview him later and she was, I had the glove. I should have caught it. Like this, the reporter went up and talked to him during the game and that was Dave O'Brien on the call on Nessen. She was obviously a better athlete than he was. So my question to you is, Brett, since you're on vacation with your wife in Hawaii, what's one thing that your wife does better than you? She's a lot, a lot more patient. Oh, what, what does she do better than me? Yeah. What is one thing that Mrs. Boone is better at than Mr. Boone? Oh, it has to be a trouble. You're going to get in trouble because you're taking this long to come up with something. Does it, could it be anything or it has to be a physical activity? If it's a physical activity. I'm not going to bail you out because you're taking too long. Physical activity, nothing. But life-wise, she's got a lot, a lot of superior skills, life skills than I do. But from a, from a physical standpoint, nothing, I guarantee she's better cardio than you. No. Oh, well, no, no. She's disciplined. That sucker will get on a bike and ride for a mile. Now, good into my head. I have to outperform her in a skit, in a, in a spin session. I'll outperform her if I have to. Yeah. One session. When you walk around sore bent over and dying for three days afterwards, no, I do cardio. I push the sled. I just do different type of cardio. I don't think any time you mix it up in the gym, right? Yes, you're going to work different muscles and you're going to have a different soreness. She's used to that. I'm not right now. But you said, what could she outperform it? If it's gone to my head and you need to go to that, and as much as I don't want to go to that speed class. The world depends on her beating you in something. She's got no chance. She can't beat you. I will. I will will my way to win. I will not lose. Is she a better speller than you? Yes. I said, you said physical. If it's physical, no, no, I'm not here. Life skills. Oh, she crushes me in a lot of ways. She better drier than you? Oh, no, that's physical. That's physical. She's a better speller than you. No, she's she makes she's she's got a little better common sense. She's kinder. She's kinder. She's a lot kinder. She's got a way with people that I don't have a genuine like she's one of those people that you're drawn to. She's a teacher, so she knows she knows the periodic table better than I do. She's a scientist. She's a scientist. She's smart. All right, now, let's let's define smart book smart. Absolutely. Life smart. I don't know. All right. I'm just being honest with you. I hope the entire boon family is listening to this and I can't wait for you. She has a she has a lot of redeeming qualities that are definitely superior to mine, but on the physical side of the of the of the of the whatever the word is physical of the ledger. No, I will I will I will challenge her to anything on this earth physically. What is something that your brothers are better at than you? Aaron is better than me at hoop. That's it. Matty? Matthew's better than me at nothing. I listen, Matthew Boone, I tried. All right. That's no, and that's physical, physical. Super own. This is not my fault. All right. All right. We have robot fires coming to the coming to Major League Baseball soon around the later. I saw this week, Brad. I want to get your reaction. We're getting a robo refs coming to the national football league. They're going to try it off in a preseason game this year. So, you know, when the referee goes and he spots the ball and he sees where the guy was tackled or went in a bounce and he goes and he puts his foot down and put the ball market for the next. They're going to try using the Hawkeye system, which is what they use in tennis to tell you what that makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense to me because I always think about football. How does the naked eye get the exact spot that he was down on a consistent base? When it's a game of inches and what it and that's what football is for a first down. A lot of times they miss it by two inches and they hold it up with the screen. How does the naked eye get it perfect? So I think more so than any other sport, that system to be put in play for the NFL makes more sense to me than anything. Why didn't they do it 20 years ago? Okay. What? A couple of things I was going to ask you, we're going to get Rex Ryan to come on the show pretty soon, right? Next week. Yeah. Okay. And I'm going to ask you, which is better spring training or NFL training camp? So my brother, Mark and my nephew, Kay and are going up to see the Boone podcast north. They're going up to 49ers training camp tomorrow and they've been to spring training, but they're all excited. They've never been to football training camp before. So I was going to ask you, you've been to training camp. You went and visited the 49ers in camp, but two years ago, which is better, baseball, spring training or football training camp. All right, you've got to put this, put some context to it. Just as an athlete, I can either go to Arizona and Florida. It's spring training. I'm at the beach. It's not too hot. I go to training camp and I'm staying in basically dormitories, team hotels. I don't know if I'm dribbling up anymore, baseball, but it's hot and they're, and they're working at the heart double, which is tougher football or baseball for camp, Oh, which is tougher. Yeah. Baseball, I think it's just, it like the sport itself football one day a week is tougher. You're going to get your brains beat in baseball. You're going to get, I always said it this way, Rich football, you get into car accident once a week and baseball, you get into fender, you get into fender, bender every night. It's just, it just picks at you. Same with spring training. They're too long. They're tedious there. But as far as the physicality of spring training, no, you're already ready to go by the time you get there and you're not killing yourself on a daily basis. So I say from overall experience, I would say the baseball experience because it's a little more relaxing, you have days off where it seems to me, and, and I don't know this because I've never been in a football training camp as a player, but it seems to me that the football training camp, although shorter and a little more rigorous than the baseball spring. Okay. Speaking of football, I've decided we're going to play fantasy football again this year and you have to actually try this year, Brett. Rich, look at the bottom beneath your picture. What does it say? The Brett Boone podcast. I'll decide whether I try or I don't try. I will. Well, I was never pushed though. I was never pushed. I've never been a, okay, push me and I will give it an effort. I give you my oath. I will give it an effort. Give it an effort. Give it an effort. I need you to study up a little bit. I need you to be on top of your team. Okay. I've got some buddies that could, I got some buddies that are really into it that, that I get a little guidance from. Okay. You know, like a push sometime, Rich, I, I just need a push. You know, I don't want to make you. Here's the deal. Hey, I'm in a fantasy baseball league with the Ryan brothers, Robin Rex Ryan. They asked me if I do it. I said, well, I've never done it before, but I will. I picked my team. I don't even know what I'm doing. I don't know how to make changes. I've had guys in the lineup that have been on the IL for two weeks and I'm getting my brains beat in. You know what? I'm like, I'm like two and 14 in the series. Can you? I mean, I just hold it up. Please help you. Oh, it's unbelievable. So that, that was my training wheel. This is my first year doing it and I'm sure embarrassing. Well, I'll probably talk to Rex about it. Like he, he probably thought he's a, because the Ryan brothers are, they're, they're freaking baseball. Yeah. They love it. Right. And they probably figured, Oh, Brett's coming in. You know, he'll be good at the, okay, my latest matchup. Here it is. The real man. Right. I don't know if you can see that on your screen. The real man is beating me a 304 to 191. Brett Boone is two, 14 and O and I've lost seven series straight. So I really need to get into my app and figure out what's going on because I, it seems like I don't just get beat. I don't just get beat every week. I get blown out. You get pummeled. Um, okay. So here's how I figured I'm going to get you to, to actually participate and I'm going to challenge you. You ready? Yeah. How about if we invite some listeners of the Boone podcast to play with us? Well, that way, that way, if you embarrass yourself in front of listeners, that'll motivate you. Me, you know, get, you know, about, get, you know, four or five listeners to join us and play. And then that way you, you can't, if you lose to a listener, that means like Rex and Rob Ryan aren't going all over town going, look at me, Brett Boone. But if you get your now, thank you, careless. I've got them. But on the phone call on the, on the podcast with Rex, he's probably going to give me a little grief. I hope so. Hey, I see you're not doing very well. I'm, I'm really, who are the two people that I beat? How bad do you got to be? Exactly. All right. So if you, if you want to play fantasy football with us, because they need you to motivate Brett. So I'm looking for some real trash talkers, Brett. All right. I'm looking for, I'm going to motivate Brett. I'm still trying to figure out my fantasy baseball team. I got to get into that. Now you've, you've motivated me to, to revamp my, my roster. Okay. So I'm looking for some real trash talkers. I'm, I'm looking for real trash talkers. They're going to challenge Brett in fantasy football. So if you want to email us, Brett Boone 10 at yahoo.com, Brett Boone 10 yahoo.com. Just one tee, we'll pick a couple of you in, uh, which play fantasy football with us. How's that? Who are you talking to, Rich? Who are the fans? You're the people listening. Right. Oh, you want me to pretend I'm a fan? Yeah, Rich. That's a great idea. Well, get, you know what? If you do it, we'll give you a Brett Boone sticker. Oh, the sticker. You see, if you're watching on YouTube, I have my, I have my, yeah, Brett Boone sticker on my water bottle. I love it. The moon podcast sticker. Oh, well, that is sweet. Yeah. With the QR code on there, you know, I've got my QR codes and everything else. Yeah. The QR code downloads the menu for you. Yeah. So, uh, again, Brett Boone 10 at yahoo.com. All right. Uh, let's see. I got a couple more minutes here, uh, got a couple of things for you, right? Yeah. Uh, Simone Biles. I'm in a hurry. Let's go. Simone Biles husband. Yes. Is a Chicago bear. Okay. Left camp to go left camp with permission to travel to France to watch her play. Okay. Brett, would you do something like that? If your wife was an Olympian, would you leave, uh, your sport to go celebrate her? I think if, uh, coach has no problem with it, it's just going to be quick. It's not going to affect your preparation for the season. I've, I've got no problem with it. And, uh, yeah, I think, I think he should do it. One of the things I just started a new, uh, X account from the radio show, just separate than just the nonsense they put up on X. So it's a big fajita, uh, or real big fajita, I think is why he used for my new X, but I just want, I was just on there and I was looking like there's so many trolls out there. So the guy's name is Jonathan Owens. He, he married her plays for the Chicago Bears. And he took a picture and he put it up with her, with him wearing her gold medal, just the two of them celebrating. Dude got so much smoke from people just trolling him for wearing her gold medal and celebrating with her. I thought it was ridiculous. Ryan Reynolds here for, I guess, my hundredth mint commercial. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, honestly, when I started this, I thought I'd only have to do like four of these. I mean, it's unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. How are there still people paying two or three times that much? I'm sorry, I shouldn't be victim blaming here.

You don't miss a game for that, an NFL game, no, no. He's winning a gold medal. No, no. It's the Olympics. I don't care. Okay. So you're an NFL player. You have your first, your first devotion is to your team. She makes more money. Doesn't matter. Okay, you're in the trenches with your, I don't miss games for stuff. I don't go visit family and friends and miss a game. That doesn't have to miss a spring training game. Something that's not on the back of my bubblegum card I can miss. Bob Boone, Bob Boone, if it's on the back of your baseball bubblegum card, you do not miss a game. That's how I, that's how I was brought, Bob Boone, Bob Boone missed not you being born because it was the all-star game and with your mom's permission, he goes to Seattle and man, he got a lot, he got a lot of hate for that. Joe Madden was the first. I told you that when he got hired as a manager to the race, he told him ahead of time. Listen, my fiance now wife, Jay, is going to graduate from law school and I'm going to be there. And they said, okay. And then that will be hard to people to take for sure to be with. Rich. It doesn't matter if you're a coach. A coach is one thing. A manager is one thing. Player. But it, but it opened up, you know, you're not going to affect the game. Right. If Joe Madden goes, nobody cares. We're still going to win the game tonight or we're going to lose the game. If Mike Trout goes, you might lose because Mike Trout isn't there. There's a difference. And there's a pay scale difference. And there's a pay scale difference too. We have paternity leave now. Rich. You didn't have paternity leave, did you? No. It doesn't make me right. It doesn't make me right or wrong. No. It's just how I was brought up. Yeah. No, no, it's just it's generational. But I'm just trying to think what is something that you'd miss a game for? Well, I hate to get the death in the family. Okay. I don't think did we have bereavement way back when you played? I don't know. We have bereavement. I'm not talking about it in the family. I'm talking about it immediate. Immediate family. Right. I hate to. I hate to bring that up. That's a little dark. I think in today's. I think today's game. You go watch the birth of your son or daughter. Right. But in my day, it depended how big the game was, depending how big the series was. If it was a make or break series in playing the Houston Astros in a stretch drive, you might not see it could be in board. That's just the way it is. See, that's why. If you had a 10 game lead and it was Monday night and you're playing a game that's really not that consequential, then you'd go do it. What if it's a, you know, the last weekend of the season, you got to take two out of three. You're not leaving. You're not leaving. We're Bo Jackson. We learned that on the podcast. He got kicked out of a game on purpose so he could go be with his wife and the new born baby. Yeah. And it's it's it's it's right. It doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it wrong. It's just it's just it's an individual. It's an individual thing. Okay. Last thing because I'm your own vacation and I want your wife to get mad at me. You ready for this last one? Yes. Last week I talked about dedication and you thought this guy was crazy. Remember I told you about the Australian field hockey player that cut off the tip of his finger rather than missing Olympic and you said, are you correct? You still agree with that? Yes. Would you you wouldn't cut off the tip of your finger to play Major League Baseball? Yes. It's different. Major League. Major League. No, Major League games. Game seven. You break the tip of your finger. You either have to sit out game seven or you cut off the tip of your finger and you get to play. What would you wear my hat and my career last season MVP? You're the greatest. No, that wouldn't be your last season. It's all. You're already here. Here's the thing. Major League Baseball. I'm trying to get you the ultimate game, right? Game seven world. I don't think I don't think I'm cutting it off if you if you have to cut the tip of your finger off to have a 12 15 year career, then I do it. You're a field hockey player in the Olympics. This is the rest of your life biggest moment. But it's not going to make the difference. It's not going to put food on the table for your kids. The reason you do it is to provide a living for you and your family and in my career, if I had to do that to go forward, it's not a I'm not just in an Olympics to play in the baseball. Let's say this. Where's this scenario? How it should be. Okay. Hurry. Because I got a new guy to throw at you. I got a new guy to throw at you. If I'm not going to, if I have no future in baseball and my one thing is to play in the Olympics on the USA baseball team, but I have no pro no there's no way I'm cutting off my finger to go to one Olympic games as a baseball player. No way. Would you cut off the tip of your finger to win the World Series? Oh, that's that's putting me in a predicament. No, that's the same as that. That's the same as this guy. Would you cut off the tip of your finger to win the World Series? This is his ultimate goal, biggest stage. Well, you're you're guaranteeing me. I'm going to win. Yeah, Brett Boone gets Brett Boone's getting out of the cap, clips the tip of his finger, they go, Brett, you're going to have to make it off and I'm giving that scenario. If you cut your, so it's a deal with the devil, if you cut your finger off, you will be a World Series champion, I'd have to consider it. Okay. I got this one. You ready? 30 seconds. Yes. My name's Seth Ryder, American trans triathlete, you ready? Did you say trans triathlete? No, I was going to say I was trying to figure out what do you, how I explain this? He's a triathlete, not triathlete triathlete. He stopped washing his hands in order after using the restroom in order to get used to and build immunity to E. coli because if the Olympic games, the triathletes are going to swim in the river that is contaminated, Brett, would you make that kind of commitment to stop washing your hands after using the restroom to build up your immunity to E. coli so you could compete in the Olympics? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I think that's going a little bit, you know, you hear about that right there, son, will you hear about those that in Hollywood, the people that are, you know, they get into their character and they won't break character for like six weeks. Sounds like a real annoying people to me that they'd walk around and they have to remain, you know, I have to be George from sign and not saying that's just a hypothetical. I'm George from Seinfeld for the entire shooting season. That's annoying. So no, I would not do that. Okay. Seems like a little much. It's a little much. It's almost right there. No, I think he's almost doing it so you'll talk about him. No, no, no. I think that's a game right there. All right. Speaking of gamer, that's it. We're done. Brett's got to go on vacation.
