This hour on Ben & Woods brought to you by Robert Half. Pot Ray's play again. We do know the matchup for today at least. Michael King, who Brett Bohn is very high on, takes the mount. He has been fantastic. Now, he's only pitched like once in the last 20 days or so. I mean, they... Is that right? Well, he had a catch. He pitched right before the All-Star break. Right. And like three days before, then they had the break and then they didn't pitch him again until after the All-Star break like the fourth day. And then he had the comeback, right? That was that start. And now he hasn't pitched since that start, which is 10 days ago again, which means he's had a nice kind of refresher here in the middle of the season. Yeah, nice little Hawaiian vacation. Which they needed to get him kind of like they did with Seth Lugo unintentionally last year when Lugo had his little calf strain or whatever it was that kept him out earlier in the year was like in May and kept his innings from getting too high. The calf was against Baltimore, right? Yeah. Yeah. That was July 27th. Okay. It was that he... That was his last start, right? Yeah. He had one... So that was his second start since the All-Star break. Yeah. So this will be his... The 21st and the 27th. So this will be his third start in like 25 days or so coming up now. So, all right. Well, they've found a way to kind of limit his innings, maybe not the way they intended. No one wants to take an intentional line drive to the calf, but hopefully he hasn't lost whatever rhythm he was in because he was in a really, really good rhythm. Even in that day, Michael King has pitched extremely well for the last... Oh, I'd say what? Well, you have his game on? Yeah, here's the reason. The recent games, his loss was a 2-0 loss to the Mariners, lost to the Brewers in late June, Phillies lost... You know, he did not have a... Yeah, he gave up one earned run. Five earned runs against Milwaukee. He's been fantastic. Yeah. 2-1-1-1-1 in his last 5-6 starts. Pretty nuts. Amen. Now, Marco Gonzalez will pitch for the Pirates today. He's a lefty, has not as much experience as Bailey Faltter, I don't think, but Bailey Faltter was actually looking pretty good in those first two innings. I know we're all mad about Dylan Seas having to come out. It's possible that worked out well for the Padres. Yeah, potentially. You know, it might be another Austin-Gomber situation there against Bailey Faltter. Why we didn't trade for him at the break and just, you know, you can't throw him against yourself. Just trade for him and put him somewhere and so you don't have to face him ever again. I mean, how many more do we have against the Rockies? Three more. Three more. Yeah. We'll get him one more time. You got to figure out a way to beat Austin-Gomber of all people. Just owns the San Diego Padres. So that's the matchup. 3-40 today. Hopefully, weather permitting. I haven't seen the recent forecast. I know there were scattered showers the last time I checked. 2-40 Ecowater SoCal pre-game show for Sam Levitt, who had a very long day yesterday. He gets every freaking East Coast road trip for the bouton. He gets here a couple hours before the game. So he was here, you know, around lunchtime. Yep. And then pre-game, 2-40 to 3-40. 17 minutes of the game and then right into rain delay theater for two hours and 40 minutes. That game had more rain delay than game. The game time, two hours and 37 minutes, which included the 17 minutes before the rain delay with a 2-40 rain delay. And then the post-game show was still on when I was driving home last night. So I don't know what time he walked out of here. Probably, you know, 10-10-30 maybe last night. That was a long one for Sam Levitt. And he'll be back at it today with very few off-days left, at least until September for the San Diego Padres. Yeah, no doubt. Alright, Paul, he's got some headlines. Let's get to the Rindle Report. And get things started here with our edition today's edition of the Rindle Report. Now tuned into the Muff. Greatest. Welcome to the Rindle Report. With Paul Rindle. Hi, Paul. Alright. 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, beyond? It's the Rindle Report. Hey, Paul, how you doing? Okay, how are you? On 97.3, the fan. Are you ready to blast the mood? I need some help, please. That was good. I need a hug. Yeah. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Aloha. Aloha to you. Aloha to you. Mahalo. Aloha to you, Peanut. Good morning, Peanut. Aloha, everybody, and Mahalo. Alright, let's get started. A little baseball news. I was kind of surprised to see this. There was an announcement yesterday that the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds in 2025 next season are going to play a Major League Baseball game, a regular season game. On the moon. Not on the moon. Of course. At Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. Trying to picture. How many people? Do you know, Paulie, how many people they can fit in that place? Because I imagine it's a lot. You see, it says capacity here. Italian Paul tweeting about this. Okay. Yeah. They did a football game there. I believe a few years back. Two of your. I mean, this is an insult. So I don't want to say it, but kind of your red neck of your team. Hey, it's Paul. I mean, come on. For being honest, right? I mean, Braves and Reds. He's not wrong. I'm just saying. Well, welcome to Bristol, everybody. You can play at a NASCAR track. You're probably not going to make. Two of your red neck of your teams. It's probably not going to be Mariners Rockies at the NASCAR track. Let's just be honest. Phillies. They picked these teams pretty intentionally, I think. Phillies and Yankees. Yeah. That's a great game. Now, will they have a race going on outside the stadium at the same time? That would be exciting. But yeah, keep an eye out for that next season. It's just reported right now. But you can look on the public schedule for Tennessee Governor Billy. He is scheduled to be at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday morning. And Rob Manford is also expected to be there Friday morning for some announcement. What could it be? I don't know. But yeah, all signs pointing to Braves and Reds. Yeah. No, they can't use all 150,000. There would be some horrifically bad seats. Well, the baseball game at an NASCAR track where you're like half a mile away. Yeah. From home plate. Yeah. I don't know how that's going to work. But this is here. The MLB game will be the first major sporting event outside of racing since 2016. The Tennessee volunteers played the Virginia Tech Hokies in a football game. They set the record for NCAA's largest single game attendance that year. Hmm. All right. I know 150,000. Yeah. You know, again, I think that it's a short oval. It's only a half mile track. Okay. Yeah. I think, you know, again, baseball, I like, I like thinking outside the box a little bit on things. But let's make games available to people. And then we can move them to different various exonic locales like Tennessee. Let's get that problem solved before we start moving it and playing and, you know, basketball courts and other places. Adam Kluge, who's going to be in for Paul in the next two days, asked, did I just inadvertently call him a redneck? Yeah. Yeah, you did. A brave slam. Yeah. You did. No, I don't think it was inappropriate. What did you say? Redneck. All right. So that's the story out of Bristol, Tennessee. Next up, we had to West Chester, Florida, where the FIU Panthers football team made an announcement yesterday. Yes. Pitbull. Pitbull. The musician, the artist Pitbull has bought the naming rights for FIU football. It is now Pitbull Stadium. Brilliant. I was actually shocked. I don't know anything about FIU. I don't know what level they're at, what conference they're in here. Actually, Division One, yeah. Pretty big program. Are they on the same? So they're on the same level as far as Division One goes with San Diego State. Yep. Like Snapdragon. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The naming rights were in conference USA. I mean, you know, it's a small, it's like a, it's not, they're not like busy sea, but they're pretty much the East Coast Mountain West, too. I was shocked when I saw it was five year deal, cost six million bucks. It feels like, it feels really low for naming rights. I was, I mean, at least six million a year, right? Not only that, but he gets the stadium for concerts, right? Yeah. Yeah. He got the naming rights of the stadium, obviously. It says his Voli 305 vodka, which I can only assume for Mr. 305, that's his vodka brand. That will be sold at all the games. He gets two suites up to 40 people. He will have personal use of the venue for 10 days out of the year. What would you, what would you use it? And he's the title on the official entrepreneur. Yeah. So you don't have to pay for your venue. Yeah. You own the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the great. Yeah. It sounds like a lot. I thought he was like, wanted to go down and run routes. I looked at him like 10 days a year, he could go down and do whatever he wants. I could. I couldn't remember. So the Snapdragon stadium rights are 45 million for 15 years here. So this is actually less than that, better deal than Snapdragon stadium. Yeah. It's just a six million for five years. So it's barely over 1.2 million a year. Yeah. So yeah, less than half of what Snapdragon's paying for Snapdragon stadium. Wow. All right. Start the go fund. Now, well, for Ben and Woods stadium, why don't maybe Florida internationals to just change their nickname to the pit bulls? The pit bulls would be a great, I think that's a panthers right now. But if you're going to play pit bull stadium, you might as well be the pit bulls. Yeah. Probably, probably a lot of legalese. You have to go through to change your mascot. Right. I guess so. But that's cool. Panthers is pretty blah. I'm not a big pit bull fan, but I think that's a pretty grew up right in that area. Yeah. I love that. And I think that's cool. Yeah. Is he? Yeah, he has so much money. He's like, I don't, I'm just going to buy, I'm just going to buy naming rights to stadium now. So much money now wants to know how long until the East Coast Mountain West is actually the name of a conference with them. You know, how far these conferences are spanning, you can't really come up with a good name for a conference. And remember, the big 12 is just going to sell it to like an insurance company or something. It's going to be like the Allstate 12. So he's got an estimated net worth of a hundred million. So six million for five years. And I mean, probably make that money back in vodka sales and whatever else he's going to do. I mean, if you can host, if he wants to host 10 concerts there, he can and not have to pay the venue. That's insane. That's not bad at all. Good, good investment for a savvy businessman. All right. Finally, this made me want to vomit yesterday, but the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium, it's right down the street from Stadium, right down the street from pottery spring training and. Listen, you can walk to explicit from the state be hot, but yeah, you can get there. Yeah. And so they have announced some new menu items for Cardinals games this year. And one of them includes a cotton candy burrito. I do like burritos. I love this. This one is pushing the I watch the video, like roll cotton candy up and inside of said burrito has not your traditional, you know, meat or chicken, french fries, garlic, not sour cream. Not God for that. It's going to have fruity pebbles, fruit loops, marshmallows. Skittles, mini M&M's, gummy bears, sprinkles, all wrapped in a cotton candy like tortilla. I gave, I gave Taylor like a little bit of shaved ice, shave ice. Sorry. Somebody corrected me earlier at like eight o'clock at night. I might as well have given him crystal methamphetamine. I mean, so I can't imagine what a kid eating this. You're off, you're off your rocker. Also, you don't need M&M's in there. If you're going to go with like the fruit flavor, don't mix the chocolate and the fruit. That's good point. You can bang that and then it would be a little bit better. So here's my logistical issue. Cotton candy is best when it's wispy. Yeah. Whispy. Not just hack. It's almost melt. Just melts on your tongue. In order to have the integrity of a burrito shell, they're going to really have to layer the cotton candy to the point where it's now thick and chewy. Which is not the best form of cotton candy. So you're making the cotton candy worse and then you're stuffing it with a bunch of stuff that's kind of mismatched that doesn't go together. I think we've jumped the shark on this one. This is finally, we finally hit it. We've finally hit it. Not to mention how just incredibly unhealthy that is. Yeah, it's about as bad as everything you can eat. I kind of want to throw up just looking at it. I know. It's not, it's not, I like some of the, you know, mixes of things, but this is not it. We all, we were going a little too far, the unhealthy things, but at least in like our regular burrito, you know, you get some protein or whatever, yeah, a little chicken in there. Yep. This has zero redeeming value, zero whatsoever. It's just sugar on top of sugar on top of sugar, on top of more sugar. So gross. Oh, thank you, Paulie, and you're welcome. Yeah, we've gone too far. Scale it back, people. Scale it back. I agree. Peanut. Penny. Oh, sorry. It's pronounced. My handle name is pronounced Penny. That was Peanut. Now, Penny, it might be pen eye, but I don't think it's Peanut. Peanut. I'm looking right at it. It says Peanut. It says Peanut. Peanut. Pen eye or? It says Peanut. Peanut. Peanut. How did you get to be kiwi? That doesn't even sound like steam. I don't know. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. But I know there's no B in Hawaiian, so I guess P is the closest. Yeah. But you know, my real name is Chuck, but I moved right here and then changed my name to Koonu. Oh, that's so cool. What does that mean? That means Chuck. It's Chuck. So good. All right. Rev it up. All right. We will take a quick break. We've got traffic. Come back. You just tease traffic. No, we've got traffic. Then we come back. Then we come back and we can talk about, well, what do you want to talk about? You're the one who's been gone for a while. I've been having to think about what to talk about for the last eight shows. That's true. You put me on the spot here. Come on up next. We've got traffic. We've got traffic here on better woods. We're right back. Temp check. What kind of summer are we having this year?

It's not ending, she's obsessed with the Olympics. She was the one that was running her mouth a lot. Titmus was good, Ryan, Katie Ledecky, Simone Biles, all that was very compelling. Yeah. Watch the water. It's good. It's good sports drama. There is something about it that I think, I don't know if it's a male, female thing. Sometimes it does split along those lines, but I think it's more if you are an absolute like day to day diehard baseball, football, whatever fan, it's a whole different kind of experience. The Olympics is about individual stories more than a season long competition. Yeah, absolutely. It's a different kind of sports fan watching. I don't want to say one is better or worse. I don't hate the Olympics by any stretch, but I get a little bit worn out by it over time. And there's so much. You're just inundated, but everyone's been talking, I think it was Paulie's recommendation or was it yours, the gold, gold zone, one of you guys should take credit for it because everyone. I'll take credit. It was in the writing report. All right. So that's been great. But yeah, I watched the tittmus Katie Ledecky battle duels in the pool. The whole family sat around on the couch and watched that. And that was pretty cool. That was a long, I mean, it's on fairly early here. And Hawaii, I'd imagine your first thing in the morning, you're getting primetime coverage from Paris. I kept asking Hannah, how many more laps? Oh, she runs. She does the long races. The third of the way done, I'm like, will you text me when it gets close to the end? And then I'll come back in. I mean, it's remarkable. All I thought was how long that would take me to do what she did. It would take me about two months of start and stop. Six, 1600 meters. I mean, it really is crap, dude. There's just no way. I mean, just complete and total athletes, just incredible. So yeah, I've watched, I've watched more than I've intended to. Good soccer game yesterday, US women's national team needed extra time to beat Germany, won nothing on a goal by Sophia Smith. The waves, Naomi Girmen, defensive star was really key in that one. So they'll play Brazil in the gold medal game on Saturday and then the US basketball team is now just two wins away from another gold medal. They crushed Brazil yesterday, 122, 87 and they're going to play Serbia in Thursday's semi-final to try to advance to the gold medal game. So, yeah, once I get to the second week, you start, you know, the 100 meters is done. That was dramatic. That was dramatic. The Noah Lyles, the photo finish. That was awesome. What happened? We talked about that while you were gone as well. So it continues on, but there's definitely, it's a whole different experience. When you follow a team, like your favorite team and you're following standings over the course of the year, it's like the exact opposite of an Olympic event, which is basically, all right, I'm going to find out about this sport and then five minutes later, I'm going to see the pinnacle of this sport and then five minutes after that, I'm not going to think about it again for another four years. Yeah. That's exactly right. We think about the pod race. Every minute. 365 days a year. Pretty much. Yep. Every year. Off season and in the season, everything. But with the Olympics, you get really excited about it, but it's for a really condensed period of time. And then Katie Ledecky is no longer in your thoughts until at least, you know, three to four years from now, when they're getting ready for Los Angeles, if she's going to do it all over again. Now, Mrs. Woods has already said that she is planning on going to the Olympics when it's in LA and it didn't, didn't ask, has not invited me yet because I think she knows the answer. I'm just going to let that can be a girls trip. I'll watch the kids and you guys can go to the battle of LA traffic is gnarly on a Tuesday. I can't imagine what it's going to be like then. So go what event would she go to? Two question. That's a good question. I'll ask her tonight and report back tomorrow. Judo. Yes. She loves judo. I watched some of the archery. It was pretty bad. I want to go to the Olympics. I was going to ask you a person, can I ask you like in a stadium and they're shooting an arrow a mile away. The things up against the cheek. Does that look like that was in the bullseye? I can't tell from here. Let me ask you this. She want to go to a specific event like it's swimming or bust or does she just want to go to the Olympics and she'll go to whatever is said she can get her hands. She said, I want to go to the Olympics, but I don't. There's not the Olympics tickets. I'd like to buy one to the Olympics tickets, please. And it's not an all act ceremonies. I mean, is she want the pomp or does she want the actual competition? She likes it. She likes it all, but she likes the competition. So I think you can go see a question in Temecula. Okay, that's close. Closer. Yeah. Yeah. I don't. I think I'm, I think I'm going to pass on it. I'll watch it on TV. You could go to something. I mean, like, if you don't want to spend too much time, you could go to like speed climbing. Did you see that one yesterday? Sam Watson, the Americans at the world record, 4.75 seconds. Got from bottom to top. Done. 4.75. The entire Olympic event lasted less than five seconds. And for years, for his big five second moment at the Olympics, when he won gold medal, we've all been there. Am I right? Am I right? Have we talked about the rally road yet? The eight and two rally roads? Yeah. Well, you were gone. We've got the rally roads going. I mean, how long until it's at first and every morning? How long until it's like a real thing? Like, I want to put out a, I want to put out a rally road shirt, but I know they'll start losing. I'm afraid. You've got to come in and send us some really cool stuff over the last couple of weeks. But I just, I've been so hesitant because how many times have we been bitten by this where we put something out there and we go excited and then incoming five game losing me? Remember the goose, the rally goose and then, you know, the KO side dads are going to sing a song about the rally roach and it's going to be over. So you have to be careful with these things. I'm, I'm sending this out over this platform right now. I'm going to take this moment, I'm going to warn all of you who are even thinking about it. Just stop it. Just don't even entertain it. This year, it's gone really well. There's been an absence of bits, you know, and I'm going to take my own advice. We're not going to put out a shirt. That's what it is. I'm just going to continue to kiss the rally roach and then it'll stay here in the studio eight and two since the rally roach, yeah, let's go Roach. I let's, you know who you are. You know who I'm talking about. I'm not even going to say his name. Don't do it this year. Don't be the guy. Don't be the guy that does it this year. I'm begging you. Okay. Don't mess with anything. Things are going great. Let's keep it going. Yeah. Like Johnny says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's because I don't need, we don't make much money off of T shirts anyway. So it's not like we're going to clean up on a rally road shirt. Now if they make the world series fine, but because then it's, let the chips fall where they may, but right now let's just, let's stay bitless. Let's stay bitless. All Padres fans out there this year, no songs, no country songs, no rap songs from the bottom is already created country songs for the Padres. Yeah. Let's multiple. Let's make it. Yep. Let AI make it as Andrew says. So yeah, man, eight and two though, I like that we'll keep kissing the Roach. I mean, as long as it's working, you have to at least kiss the 100%, but they can just leave it at that. Leave it at that. Don't need anything else. All right. Final segment coming up. You know, you often tell me that I reveal things to you. Yes. They continue to surprise after six years. Oh god. Do you have another one? No. No. This one was from Don or Silla last night. I don't know if you caught this, but Don made a bit of a revelation during the game that we were talking about actually at Channel 10 last night when he said it. And I want to get your thoughts on what Don had to say in our final segment of Ben Woods coming up next year at 97 through the fan. Oh, Molly is going to pop his cherry tonight at Foo Fighters, his Foo Fighters chair. Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters first time seeing Dave Grohl and company coming in playing Petco Park tonight. Very excited. Excited for you. They put on a really good show and he's very energetic. I don't know how he does it. He's been doing a long time and they're going to be playing Petco tonight. They're excited for you, man. It's going to be a good time, man. I think I've said this before, so I apologize. But when Taylor Hawkins passed away, yeah, it's brutal. That sucked. I mean, they were one of my favorite bands and I never saw them. The original bands. The worst. And it was also a little bit of a hangover from the pandemic, you know, missing live events. Yeah. I just go, you know what? I'm done. If there's something I want to see, if my favorite band is coming to town, I'm going and didn't get to see them before Taylor died, but this is their first tour since. And yeah, I cannot wait to go tonight. I'm exhausted from traveling and whatnot, but I don't have any FOMO at 938 this morning. I have none. I just want to go home and sleep, but I will have it later, later today when I see all the pictures and I see I've seen them a bunch of times. Who's the opening act? Yeah. Who is the opening? I don't know. All right. It's Alex G. Alex G. Is that somebody in the chat? So it sounds like, uh, yeah, man, uh, it's, I saw them many, many years ago. I've seen them probably five, six times since. Oh, the hives are playing the hives are awesome. The hives kick ass that you G the hives and food fire. Yeah. The hives don't miss the high, high energy, incredible band. Um, that's a great show. jealous. Adam Kluge's going to. Yeah. I just found out this morning. He's going as well. You and I are the only ones not going. Now Adam said he's sitting in the suite. Oh, what does the suite mean? The suite. Is that like the, like, Audisys suite? I would assume that's with the. I don't think it's the food. So I've been here. We've been here. What? Five, six years. Five years. This is our sixth year. This is our sixth year. I didn't know that the suite existed for concerts. I spend a fortune on concert tickets, a fortune on concert tickets. That go apart. This is only the second. On the field. So you're saying you don't think Adam is spending a fortune to go to the suite that he's just going to zone the suite. So is the suite just going to be like the bosses hanging out in the suite? Because I've never even been offered this the suite. If Adam offers you right now to go to the suite tonight, what are you guys going to say now? I'm exhausted. I'm absolutely fried. There's just no chance. Adam said all you had to do is ask. Yeah. Right. Right. The suite is a thing. All right. Well, now we know next time there's a big show. We want to see it. Petco Park putting in our request for the suite. I have no idea. The songs. The sweet guess. You already spent a fortune on dealing with theft on tickets. I got tickets the other day. Got tickets the other day. Are they playing Gallagher Square? They're playing. No, it's both now. Yeah, it's big now. It's really big. And I told Bo, because he's gone with me for the last three years, you know, hey, I got our theft on tickets. You know what? This little turd did? He goes, VIP. I go, oh my God, I'm going to kill you, dude. He's just riding us VIP. I was like, bro, come on. You're six. You're six. You want to meet and greet before? What are you looking for? Yeah. Anything else I can do for you, bud. After your trip to Hawaii. I'm a little nervous. Because as I told you this morning, yeah, I think I damn near broke my foot last night playing basketball. We had an ankle injury. You and A.J. Prowler has a born planter fashion as well. Does he really? I don't know that. Found that out when I went down last week and talked to him. Both hoops injuries, I'm assuming. Yeah. Yeah. I rolled it. Light rolling. Yes, you had a light roll, light dusting of it a couple of years ago. And I guess like I've played several times since you played baseball. Yeah. And it's been okay. But apparently it was not up to full strength. I just thought it was up to full strength and literally, literally. Our first possession of the game last night rolled it bad. Bad, bad, bad, like getting X-rays after the show this morning, not tape your ankles before a game. I do. I do. And it was like sore. I just bought a new ankle stabilizer that'll go around my foot under in my shoe. So hopefully that helps once I'm ready to go. But yeah. Very, very painful. I've been able to never take the body part in my life. Oh, man. Come on. Ever once. I mean, just said, did you guys talk about this? About do you deal with stuff tones? Yes. You did talk about it. We did. If it goes game seven of the World Series at home, they'd be on the same day. Now, Janine says the front office doesn't have faith in this team, apparently. No, no, they do. I'd say they have the ultimate faith. They get it done before. They get it done before. Game seven. Also, we talked about yesterday the MLB announced flex scheduling. So both car league championship series end in five or fewer. Yeah. They're starting the World Series three days earlier. Oh, okay. Good. I mean, October is rather than November. So there's a lot of ways around a game seven possibly conflicting with a concert at Peko Park. Yeah. But I would have said three weeks ago, they don't go into it willy-nilly. No chance the Padres have a home game in game seven. All right. The way they've been playing, it's not out of the question that they could not only catch the Dodgers and get a buy. But who knows? Depending on who comes out of the American League, you could actually have home field in the World Series now. So that's a good problem now. It is a good problem. I'd be happy to forego my tickets or push to another date. So Paul, you're going to be, Paul, he is on one ankle at you going with your wife tonight? No, my buddy, Tom's, buddy, Tom is going now. You're on one ankle crutches. I would imagine you're getting x-rays after the show. Possible. Yeah. What if they give him one of those carts? The scooter with the one hand. Yeah. And he's got around. Yeah. Around that always always looks so painful. I'll be. I think if I am on crutches, which I've never had crutches before, but I think I'll be fun because I like to stand during the concert. Yeah. You say that until you get crutch rash under your arm and it's the worst crutches are the worst. They are the worst. Yes. Adam has pointed out in the chat that he will be going to the concert. He didn't know he was going. I don't think until like tonight or today. Yeah. You know, why? Because the suite opened up for him. Right. He's like, well, one of us is going to this. We're both going to the show, but only one of us will be at work tomorrow. Yeah. TRM says, get a sweet cane. Yes. 100%. I was thinking that too. Get a cane. A walking stick. You're in the airport on the way out there and my kids are walking into this old lady. Dropped her cane on the ground as we passed her and it sounded like a gunshot. I dropped three feet in the air. I jumped three feet in. What? Paulie, get a cane and cane your ass around getting crutches. I think I'm not old enough for a cane cane. Cane your ass around pet co-parts. You get a monocle and you can be Mr. Monopoly. Mr. Peanut. That's true. That's true. That's true. It's true. She's taking tomorrow off. She deserves. I'm going to sleep in. I'm going to sleep in. And then you leave for Washington State. Friday morning. Early. For what? Bachelor party. Bachelor. We're going to Leavenworth, Washington. Sounds awesome. It's like a two hour drive. That's not like the Leavenworth. It has the prison. No, that's a Kansas. That's a Kansas. It's like a two hour drive from Seattle. It's in the mountains. Just off. It's like a Danish town. You've been through the trip before. You like pastries and it's going to be a pure, heavy bachelor party. We've got the river right there. We're going to do a river float on Saturday for like five miles. You guys should check out while you're there, the Nutcracker Museum. It has thousands of Nutcrackers, some dating back century. Why wouldn't we? I'm going to look up adult entertainment. I don't know if there's going to be a lot of those options. I've been worth Washington adults only. What's this? Now, I know why you're going there. It's the adult only hotel called the Post Hotel. Very nice. All right. We already booked an Airbnb. I don't know if we're staying there. All right. Well, there's adults only there. Sounds like a good time. Are you excited about going? Not really. Not really. It happens. All right. I promised. Inside the mind of Don or Sillow, we will get to that right after a check of traffic here at 97.3 of the fam. There was once when we did Saturday Night Live and Christopher Walken was the host. It was amazing. And he comes up and he's like, "He asked us if the accent was on Foo or Fighters." And we know who he is. Like, of course, we know how he speaks. And we said, "The accent is on Fighters, actually." So he goes up and he's like, "Ladies and gentlemen, Foo fighters." Because I knew that's what happened. I was like, "Most people say Foo fighters, but wait, Christopher Walken says it? Foo fighters." Ladies and gentlemen, Foo fighters, so good.

So with the long rain delay, obviously, you expected the game to be over around, you know, 6.30 at the latest last night, but with the time change, it got really late on the East Coast for Don and Mud as they were doing the broadcast. And somewhere around, I think, the seventh inning or so, Don's phone alarm went off. And Mud asked him about it, and he said, "What do you have your alarm set for?" And he goes, "Oh, that's my go-to-bed alarm." And I was wondering, does other people do this? Like set an alarm to remind you, it's time to go to bed? Because I've never done that in my life. It does? I have like the sleep, the focus modes on your iPhone, and so at 9.15 on weeknights, my phone switches from like personal or whatever, normal mode to sleep mode, where the background turns black, notifications turn off, because that means I'm shutting it down, like, if you call me, I think twice, it'll, in a few seconds, it'll go through, other than that, it goes to sleep mode. And then my alarm goes off at 4 in the morning. And so at 9.14, I get an alert, like a push notification on my phone that says, you know, it's almost time for bedtime, right? I haven't had a bedtime since I was like 10. And no, I really haven't. Like I go to sleep when I'm tired, and basically I know I'm tired when I start falling asleep. Yeah, it could be in the middle of an interview, it could be in the sea, you know, I'm going to bed now. Yeah, so I'm plenty tired, I have no trouble going to sleep. But I don't ever like, oh, look at a clock and go, oh, it's, it's 10 o'clock, I need to go to bed now. And I wondered, is that common or uncommon what Don does that, oh, oh, 10, I was watching, I didn't realize, I was watching a TV show and now it's time for bed, I need to be reminded of it. It gets here in one of the chats is paraphrasing what Don said, it tells me to put my devices down and go read a book or something. Now I struggle with sleep a lot, man, I really do. And I don't, once I do fall asleep, I don't sleep well, I've tried it all, tried all your recommendations, I read plenty on how, how the best way is and everybody says, you got to put your phone down, you got to quit scrolling, you got to turn your brain off. You know, look at this red light or blue light or do some meditation or whatever. I can't, in my mind though, I have to fall asleep with something playing on my phone. I have to. I put a movie on, I take an ambient, I try to sleep, like I, I know that's not the best way. It's probably why I have fitful sleep, but it's just what works. I know it's sound. My life sometimes sounds miserable with how much I'm awake and how little I sleep. The one thing that's great about it is I never lay there going, oh, I wish I could just get to sleep. That's, that's, if I want to fall asleep, I can fall asleep instantly whenever I want to, like that. I don't like the feeling of like trying to get myself to sleep. All right. It's really neat to go to bed. It's 10 o'clock. If I don't go to bed now, I'm going to be erect tomorrow and you're like laying there like worrying and thinking, I don't do that because as soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out. I'm asleep. Yeah. Like Jeff says, if you have ADHD, you can't just turn your brain off. I can't. I can't do it. And I'd lay there and especially if it's a little bit late and I'm like, did I take gonambian or did I not? Oh, no. I think I did. So I'm going to try to get myself to fall asleep. It is just impossible for me. I've seen a number of people who go like Paulie. They may have at least a time where it kind of, all right, we're starting to change into sleep mode later in the night, but I, I work essentially until bedtime. I, you know, I work. I drive home. I go to bed. So I don't, I've never really had that. At least in my adult life where there's like, oh, I should, you know, I've been, I had dinner and then I was watching doing some stuff with the kids and TV and now it's time to go to bed. No, it's just, I get home from work and it's now time to go to bed. Very well. They stay up past nine, 15. I'm just saying my phone pretty much shuts itself down at nine, 15 on, on week nights. Interesting. So I got this new phone, this Garmin and it's incredible. New watch, new phone, new watch. The Garmin, you can wear it in the ocean when I swam. I wore, you know, you wear it in the water. It's phenomenal. But it has sleep score. I mean, dude, last night I slept three hours and 49 minutes, three hours and 49 minutes. It's terrible. Oh, is that bad? Yeah. It's a horrible, horrible. My perception may be skewed. What a good sleep. I mean, it's just, it's just pathetic. But so there, I told you about the day in Hawaii, where I woke up sad and didn't want to do anything and just kind of laid around all day. It has this sleep coach that will say like, Hey, get some extra rest today. You need it. It said you've rested enough today. I literally laid on my ass for like 80 hours and said, you've rested enough. Go out and move because it's, I, I just couldn't do it. Man, I was just so bummed and relaxed. I love this thing though. This thing has been the best investment I've ever had. All right. Quick question for you last couple of minutes. As we get ready for Padres game number two of the series, because I saw this stat this morning. Do you have any idea who leads, uh, baseball in grounding into double plays? Many, which correct 22. After two more last night, you have any idea who's second be Louis your eyes. Oh, Padres hit into a lot of double plays. They do. Are we okay with that though? I mean, with their style of baseball, making contact, getting on base, guys who hit for high average. So you got guys on first base a lot and then the guy behind them, you know, makes contact a lot. They don't strike out very much. It's inevitable. There's nothing they can really do about that. And I guess you have to either be okay with it or you don't. But I see people who get frustrated. Oh, it's Manny rolling into another double play again. Well, double play suck. They do. But it also means you putting guys on base and you're making contact and usually pretty sharp contact. A double play while it's definitely the worst outcome when, you know, you got a guy on first base and you're trying to start a rally. Also means you're doing two, two of the things right that you're supposed to be doing. You're putting guys on base and putting the ball in play, which is essentially the Padres offensive game plan. I don't think there's any way around it. As long as the Padres go with this, you know, this offensive strategy that's been working for them. There's going to be a lot of double plays. They're going to hit into double plays and I think we need to chill maybe a little bit and lose the frustration when they do. It doesn't mean that they're failing and doing things wrong. It means they're actually doing what they're supposed to be doing and doing it right and it just happened to be the wrong outcome that one time. Yeah. I mean, listen, they're winning. So I couldn't care less and like with Manny last night, I was texting with the buddy. He said, Oh, for five, two double plays, but his defense more than made up for it. You know, so I'm going to try to zen myself on the double play. All right. I will get frustrated when we see him, but let's start the runners a little more. You know what I mean? Get the guy going. He does that. He does that a nice Zander Bogart said the hit and run was actually his RBI single there too. I just wanted to throw that in at the end of the show. This is what they say in Hawaii when they're about to leave.
