With the morning shifts, time for the show. On Sports Radio 929, the game. Going into our 8 o'clock hour, it is brought to you by Mark Spain. Real estate, go to markspain.com via the guaranteed offer in your home today. And start packing. It is time for the wake-up call. You can call us at 404-726-0929. And maybe you could tell us what you would like to see, the Hawks. Yeah, your expectations. Yeah, your expectations for this coming season. Because I don't think much more, I don't see much more happening. Just, you know, July 10th, 11th, what day is it? It's 11th. Wow, July 11th. We've got 13 days, the camp starts. Less than two weeks officially. Wow. Less than a month before the first preseason game test. Crazy. Yeah, but you can give us your thoughts on what you think the Hawks might do. Or maybe what Olympic sport, based on our tripled up, you would like to see, or what sport you would like to see in the Olympics. Long darts. So do you want some of the 1920s stuff to come back? Ah, you know what? I'm thinking of like maybe a corn hole. That would not be a bad idea. Battleship. Oh, so I talked about it going to break. So okay, this kid, basically, there was a runaway boat. And it was, you know, no one's commanding this boat, right? So it's just kind of doing circles in this lake. Lake went up. I can't even, I'm going to try to say it. It's probably something basic, but whatever. Anyway, somewhere in the States. And so this boat is just turning. And apparently it was from an instructor. So he was teaching kids, I believe either had a swim or had a boat. He falls off this boat. And the boat is now just driving itself. So we're kids in the boat? No, the boat is like, I guess they were on another boat. Whatever it was, I'm really messing this up. But this is basically the gist of the story. The instructor fell off of this boat. And so I'm just looking at the video now. So here comes these two guys on a jet ski. I don't know the age of the one driving the jet ski, but the one on the back of it was 17 years old. He leaps off this like he's Tom Cruise into the moving boat. Like don't ever try this because you probably could die. But the jet ski pulls up and it kind of like curves to the side. And you see the young man, then it's go time. He jumps to the boat and he brings the boat to a stop. And the kid is like, you know, I didn't even really think about it. It's just Tom Blond kid. He's just like, I just, I just did it. Well, you know, it's the training I just reacted to you. They don't have that. It's what we talked about earlier. It was called the risk assessment gene. That's why that didn't really kick in until 25. Why do you think we draft 18 year olds? Well, anybody in general, that's why we draft 18 year olds. Yeah, fly wars. That's the risk assessment gene doesn't kick into like 25 years old. That's also why you can't rent a car into your 25. But that's like what we were talking about earlier. When we were talking about early in the show about, would you ever have Morton and Schwellenbach make a start in the playoffs? If you were there and Rob said Schwellenbach. And I said, what's like one or two things? You're either too dumb to realize the moment you're in. Or you're like terrified of the moment. And from what everything we've seen from Schwellenbach from the, especially after that starting at Philadelphia on Saturday, I think he has the blissful unawareness is what you put it, Rob. So it's very, you know, that's a cool story though. I mean, and that's something that he'll never, he'll never forget, but he'll also probably, that's probably, that might be his moment in life. I mean, that might be, he might have peaked at 17. You know, stop it, stop it. All right, let's go to the lines. Let's say good morning to Chris in College Park. What's happening? All right. Good morning. How you doing, fearless leader? Good, sir. Are you? Fantastic. Rob T. Good morning. And of course, let's put black men. You know, yeah, now, right. Layoff bow to you going in a little bit hard this morning. It was funny. With comedy comes casualties. Right, right. She's always good about laughing at her own jokes. I've noticed that. Wow, that was a good one. There you go. As much as I'd like to skull drag Landry Fields, I'm going to leave that alone and let somebody else have it. What I want to do is, yeah, if you give a shout out to one Marcel Ozuna. I've been a person who's been on his bandwagon since he's pulled himself out of the personal problems in that slump last year. And I'm absolutely ecstatic to see him in the Home Run Derby and Rob T at plus 450 odds that $100 I got on him. I'd love to see him bring it on home. So any thoughts you guys have on the Home Run Derby? I'd love to hear it. And I'm going full Bo Morgan. I can't wait to see him go, you get me in the Home Run Derby. Hashtag Squid Nation, Hashtag Squid Squad, skull drag. I love that one. That's better in curb stop. You just remember this was a house that Squid Billy built. Yeah, that's made a straw. When I heard the word skull, I go, uh-oh, dump button ready. As I know, OK, now it's a different one. What I will say, what I will say. That's only for medical students. I would love to see if you, uh, a big flaw from the big bear. Oh, um, John Sterling. No, that's, well, that's what Brandon Gordon's been doing too lately. Um, uh, but yeah, I'm, I love the term Yikiti. It's the Chipper Jones term. I would love to see Ozuno. I just think it would be so cool to see him when the, um, the Home Run Derby. And it, you know what? That's glad it's just good he got his life back together. Yeah. I mean, redemption stories are awesome. They are. And I, um, hopefully his is, hopefully hit him. I do think though, gets his life together. And there's a Home Run Derby. Let's hope it doesn't go like a Josh Hamels story. Where he goes back off the rails. All right. Let's go to Coleman and Winder. What's up, Coleman? Yes. Fellows. We're building and calling in this morning. How you doing, sir? So, uh, I'm doing good. Um, I just wanted to give, uh, the answer to y'all question over. I feel like Risa Shea made the team taller just by himself already. So we, we, we got those people to get longer to compete with Boston and to try to get to the finals. So my expectations are, uh, Eastern Conference Finals, the finals next year. That's how, that's how I do it. I mean, I'm bold with it. I don't. Because, because if this dude is Risa Shea's nasty on the court, wait till you get everybody else in and we'll see what's going on. We just added a dynamic player. So I think he's going to do something. I don't know. Go big or go home. We're left with drug tester listener after that. Oh, stop it. Hey, yeah, you leave Squid Nation along. Um, like, I appreciate the optimism and I, I do enjoy when people have optimism. Um, it's easy to be negative. It is. It's easy way out. It takes no energy to be a contrarian. Well, you know what bothers me the most about the negativity part with negative people is, there's no risk, right? Yes. It's, it's like, oh, well, I knew they were going to suck. I said it all along. And it's like, oh, so that's the only reason why that's your whole thing. You base everything on, you don't want to have egg on your face. I'm willing to have egg on my face. I mean, look, no one had more egg on their face after the 2023 falcon season than me, because I was all in on Desmond Ritter and it took, and I stayed on the train. I was too. I wanted to be optimistic, though. Yeah. Yeah. And I have optimism. I do have, I have a lot of optimism on what Risa Shea can be and I am excited to see him. I just wish we would do more. And it's tough to have, can be completely on board with the optimism train when we see nothing, you know, not, no major moves being made. And I don't understand how we expect to get better based on those. All right. We go to Daniel and Marietta. Good morning. What's going on morning? So family, what's going on? Hey, squid, squid, go ahead and get the glad bag. And let's go ahead and dump the whole Atlanta Hawks front office in the trash. Landry Field sounds like he's full of beefies every time he talks. I keep saying we need a big man who's a dog. Right now, we got one who looks like he drinks tea with his pinky out. So, you know, I don't understand what's going on. It's disappointing. It's very disappointing after they to just see them not. I'm kept building around trade. I mean, when are you, when are we going to seriously start building around trade, man? I mean, you know, it's just ridiculous, man. So throw the whole front office and even ownership in the trash. Marcelo Zuna is going to dust Pete Alonzo in the home run derby. I think we all know that. So go Braves, go Braves there. Wish we had more guys in the, in the all-star game. But, you know, that's all right. I'll take what we got. I'm at the rep, brother. When I drink Budweiser out of a solo cup, I got my pinky. Pinky out. Yeah, but it's not tea. So it's okay because it's a Budweiser. Bud heavy. I mean, that's like, you know, that's like you're drinking a yellow jacket, which is course original. You're a big. Well, I think he's, I think he's talking about Capella. Oh, okay. I thought he was getting at Rishishay. No, no. I think he's talking about Capella. Okay. Oh, he said big man. Yes. Yeah. The Zuna thing, you know, it would, it would actually, that's a really good point by Daniel about the Zuna and the home run derby. How sweet would it be to see him beat Alonzo of all people? Just eliminate Peter Alonzo. Just because he's so smart. Like Peter Alonzo played at University of Florida, and I don't know exactly where he grew up. I think it was from the north, but he is a smug New York type of person as a way he comes off. And he plays for the Met. So I would love to see that smugness taken out of him. Because he thinks the home run derby is his birthright. Garrett Chapman said our Tampa. Okay. Well, that makes a little bit of sense. Let's go to chief. What's going on, chief? Roll a derby, people roll a derby. That should be one of the summer. Yes. Oh, that's a good call. Yeah. Roll a derby. I'm telling you, but let me get into this USA basketball. I could hear a real wake-up call. Now, I called you guys earlier this week, and I said, what? Kawhi Leonard is one of the most overrated superstars I've ever seen in my life. All right. So, who's my point already? He's not on the team. Then we got Kevin Durant. Then we got LeBron James. Then we got what? And B. So we got a lot of crippled old people playing on this team. Something ain't right, people. Something ain't right. Maybe I'm missing something, but it all seems to be crippled, right? Cripple. And if we're there, we're just going to walk into the Olympics and just win just because we USA this year. It's not going to happen. Now, I hate to be the one to kill everybody. It's a real spoiler alert. It's not happening. Let's get some of these younger guys in the Olympics sometime. Let them get their sprints. Let them play. Let's stop hard about these certain players don't mix well because they don't play defense or whatever because you get over 150 points during the world championship. 150, 140 points. Like game. This is ridiculous. Let's get it together. Wake up. I love it. That's a good call by chief. As always, member of Squid Nation. Um, you know what? You're on the next two. Thank you. Oh, there's one more on the line. Well, we're going to have to get to him. I think Anthony Edwards is, I think Anthony Edwards has already spoke the truth into existence. I'm the number one option. And he's going to be when all is said and done, that's going to be the name that the world remembers off this Olympic USA men's basketball team. Let's book it. Mark it. Write it down. Say hello to Squid billion. Good morning. Morning, everybody. Morning. That was good, sir. Yeah, I mean, I think I would love to see ultimate Frisbee in the Olympics. I'd also love to see Airsoft or Paintball event. I think that would be a lot of fun. But I'm curious. I feel like what one event would you guys add in, personally? I've been thinking about it. I love the event we did yesterday, which was axe throw in, which is what dial on and, um, and Gabe dominated the, uh, the, the week pairing of Garrett Chapman and Bo Johnson yesterday. I really give dial on and Gabe a lot of credit. Knife fighting. Ooh. Knife fighting. You want that point? Well, they've already got fencing. So why not? You know, you can have, you can have swords and knives of all sizes. I would take that, uh, that knife that, um, he had it. I think it was, it was it maybe as a cobra with Sylvester Strong, with the, it had the spikes on the handle. I've got, I've got that knife somewhere. Oh, the landmine event. You run through a field. I would like to see a cornhole. I would, I, I'm with you on that. I love, I love cornhole. And I'm, I'm good at it. You're going to come watch me play corn on on, uh, tomorrow, Tiffany. I'll be gone. Oh, that's right. You know what? That'd be amazing. You can't even create your own shot in cornhole, brother. I sure can rob triple. You'll see. Rob, you got a good point. Remember that movie, Apocalypto? Yeah. Not landmine, but you got to run through a field in this, this, an arrow. Not get hit by somebody shooting arrows actually. And you got to not get hit. Oh my gosh. I think I can make the, uh, the USA team for Ultimate Frisbee, though. I think I really could. Oh, I think I could be Ultimate Frisbee. I played big time at college. Had my, had my dew rag on my head. When do we come back here on the morning shift? Braves four game winning streak has been snapped. We'll talk about it next here on sports radio. I need to know the game. Nothing is more important than getting a good night's sleep. And when you don't get the rest you need, your whole day is thrown off.

[Music] That raves winning streak, snapped, was a four game one, but they lost the Diamondbacks, seven, two, five. But as Rob said, just take. Just win today, win the series, take three out of four, take two out of three from San Diego, have a happy long flight home. Five and two on this road trip. That's a really good road trip. What happened last time they went out west? It was a disaster. I think they were like one in six. Seattle and LA? One in five? Yeah. Gasly. And they couldn't hit. That was when the hitting woes really started. I feel like, because Seattle's pitching staff was doing really well back then, and just kind of, it snowballed on you. And the Phillies are dominating the Dodgers right now. They've already won two, and the Dodgers tend to won on Tuesday. And then last night they get the win, Shohei strikes out with the runners on. I believe in the seventh or eighth that, what's that long haired reliever they got in Philly? He's on the All-Star team. It starts with S, Strowham, Strowham, something like that. I don't know. You know what, I'm terrible with names. All right. I was going to Google it, but I'm just not. But he's really good, and he's had a good year, so he got Shohei to strike out. You basically made him look, he had to use that slider on Shohei. He made him look silly. Shohei swung so hard on the strikeout pitch that his helmet almost came off. Imagine me to make contact. Yeah. But yeah, that's it. You go in three or four, and I'm not discouraged about last night's loss. You know, there have been losses this season, Rob, where, you know, Tiffany's had to deal with me being just very upset about how it went off. And if they'd have lost three to nothing, or four to nothing, or something like that, I'd have been frustrated. But losing seven to five, your bullpen's been good. They just, him and Es walked in the, the, the go ahead run. Morton was... He was Charlie. Charlie's Charlie. Strowham is his name, the reliever from Philly. Thank you, Dylan. Yeah, he was Charlie. And it, you know, it's just, he's going to have one really good outing, and then a couple of average outings. And I would put this as an average outing. He's essentially your fifth starter this year. Let's be honest about it. Let's assess what the pitching staff is. He's your fifth starter. I know that people want to say swelling back is, but Charlie's pitching like a veteran fifth starter where he gives you the, the, the term I hate more than any other term. And baseball is an innings eater. That's a terrible term. Because no one knows what it means. That's the problem. It's you. When I think innings eater, that, that's when you're so far behind, just, just go on there and just pitch a few innings so we can just get out here and come back and try again tomorrow. That's what an innings eater is to me. An innings eater means you're not necessarily pitching well. Yeah. And I don't think, and that's when, when people say, well, we need an innings eater here. It's like, so you want to got Jesse Chavez is more of that than anything. I remember Don Stuembradon Sutton. Oh yeah. Hall of Famer, former Braves broadcaster. He hated that phrase too, for the very same reasons I just laid out. I can see a 300 game winner, a Hall of Fame pitcher hitting that term. I can absolutely see that. You know, he, I heard mixed reviews on like how he was off, but I had, when I had nothing but lovely interactions when I had several of them, I was going to say when I met him, he was the nicest guy and I was young and the business was so cool. I love, he still had his impeccable perm to when I, dude, what was that? How did I never understood that? Like it was just flawless. It was flawless. Silver haired perm, man. I love Dyson. I loved hearing him do games. I love skip and Don Sutton doing the games. Those guys were phenomenal. And obviously Pete was a mix of that, but um, but a fifth starter though, Rob, for me, is the guy that's going to go five to six innings and give up. Well, that's what all of them are doing nowadays. They're going five to six. But three to four run. Well, I'm talking about, yeah, but now like, I think, and I think Charlie doesn't lose the game for you most times. He's out there. Most of the time. Yeah. He still keeps it manageable, where you still have a chance to win and give up the two or three runs. And if you have any offense, maybe you can overcome that. Yeah. I said it earlier that it felt like they were tipping. It felt like they were playing at course field last night because they had a shot go for 50. Then I think it was, um, I think it was, it was per no more marte hits one like dead center, which is at least four. It was four 13 dead center. Yeah. And it was, and it was well, and well into the stands. And then I was doing a dip hit one too. And Riley and Olsen, both hit balls that would have been home runs in other parks. So what are you going to do? Well, what you're going to do is you're going to send Max Freed out tonight. And Max Freed is going to be, he had a bit of a stinker his last time out, didn't he? So he's, he's therefore to still Randy Max term, you're going to get maximum free tonight. Max Freed is going to give you seven of two hit one run ball. And you know what else Randy does too. If Charlie Morton's good, he's Charlie. If he's not good, he's Charlie. He was Charlie last night. Yeah. He was no Charlie. We need Charlie. Charlie. But yeah, we need it. Well, we need that here and there, but you're going to get Chris cell Sunday, right? You got freed tonight, which means you'll get swelling back to open the series. And I'm just projecting if they don't mess with the rotation. This is on normal days rest, but you never know. And then Lopez would be Saturday, or is it? Yeah, Lopez would be Saturday unless they decide to bring AJ Smith, Shauver back up and have him start. I don't think they will. I don't think they'll do that. I think Renato Lopez will have to go because you're getting essentially, you know, five, six days off, right? And he probably, he'll probably throw one inning if he starts Saturday in the all-star game. So just one. Well, yeah, that would be his day to throw, I think. Yeah. So yeah, I don't think though. And if he got boarded, it used to be two innings. They're not, the starter gets two innings most of the time, I guess. And I don't think he'll start. I think it'll- Back in the day, they get three innings a lot of times. Yeah. Well, and this is the rule apply in the all-star game that you have to face three batters. I don't think it does. I don't think it does. That's a good question, though. Here's a very good question. I know it also is a good question. What can you anticipate from the Hawks this coming season? And GM Landry Fields, NBA Summer League going on, and he spoke to the media there about how development is crucial in this new cap environment. I think we're in a good spot, you know, in terms of who will be on the roster and who won't. Development is crucial. I think in a new cap and environment right now, when you have limitations on how you're going to be able to roster build, that leaves you with the option of changing roster through development. So that's a strong emphasis for us. And our expectations for our players, there's really in that same vein, like grow, develop, learn, put the work in, and we'll let the results be what they are. Let the results be what they are. So I know what y'all are going to say, but- How did you say we're rebuilding without saying we're rebuilding? We could not reveal the secrets. It's a job. We're not calling it a rebuild. It's like Terry Fina said. It's not a rebuild. We're trying to retool our team around the salary count while being competitive. We're competing. We're competing. That's literally what he said in different verbiage. That's what I heard. I don't know if I'm wrong. I agree with you. I appreciate it. I think it was Daniel called in earlier. And he had a lot of optimism. He's like, look, Risha Shea is going to be something that we've needed. We're going to get to the Eastern Conference Finals. He's optimistic. I'm going to tell you something. Daniel, if they made the Eastern Conference Finals in the 2024-2025 season, not only will you get a free shirt for being a member of the nation, but I will take you to a state dinner because I would be blown away. And I'm not, and I'd love to be sitting there doing that, but I just don't, I don't know how. I think a lot of things have to change. Well, an asteroid would have to hit the cities of every other team in the Eastern Conference except Atlanta. Rob. His face is stone cold. Okay. I'll play. You're taking someone's dinner. With dead eyes. Well, they got to make the Eastern Conference Finals, which I think, which means, which means they got to do something they haven't done in three years, which is making it, you know, well, not being the play on around, essentially. I will say this, we have seen a cast of players who weren't headliners necessarily, making Eastern Conference Finals in this city. And it was the first team to ever make one. Now, they got swept by LeBron and company and Delo the diver, as he dove it out. Horpers. Delo the dove. Yep. Delo the dove. And yeah, I just kind of twisted it up there. Delo the diver. Um, but, but they did do it. And that was what, uh, Horford, um, Paul Millsat, what was, uh, what was my guy that could, that could play really good golf, um, got the, uh, get the contract here, came from Golden State, Kent Baysmore, um, and the Mari Carroll who turned that into a big contract with what Toronto. Um, so it's been done, but, I mean, I, I, I, I think it's, I think those are over realistic expectations. I think playing around is probably more, and that's if Risha Shays a very good, if he, if he has a great rookie year, I'm glad you brought him up because Landry also talked about him as well as, uh, Nicola, and what the expectations are, uh, for their two young players get more and more integrated, accustomed to actually playing a new style of basketball. I mean, it's one thing to go from college to the NBA, but coming from two completely different countries and playing at this system. I was just, you know, I was talking with Juka earlier about, he's like, ah, there's so much space and so much things that you have potential out there. I'm like, yeah, man, you'll have at it. Uh, like, um, those are all new things for them. Um, so I think it's just making sure that we're supporting them and integrating them into our system, into our way of doing things. So that was, uh, Landry Fields again, talking about the expectations for, uh, their own players coming in. Can, can we not play the G League thing this year? Can, can, can, like in past years, Hawks picks have played a lot in the G League their first years, right? Now I'm talking about last couple of years. Well, noise me about the NBA is when they, um, drafting stash or stash the assets and they're never heard from again. I, I won't reach a shade and, uh, Nicole, uh, I think it's jurisic. Uh, I hope I'm pronouncing right. I don't want to butcher it. I want to respect people's names as much as I can. Or Mike Johnson will yell at me. Um, but, but, but let's not play that game. Just, let's, let's, their teeth can get cut up here and, and, and that's where we're at right now because we, I know reach a shade will number one picks don't go down like that. Number one overalls. Unless something really, really hinders his development. Yeah. I mean, but chances are, yeah. I mean, some number, some second round picks I'm going to have to play in the G League these days. All right. We got a life of squared coming up. Uh, what, uh, say you? You know, I, I'm rapid fire today. I've got like three things. Um, Jenny Finch's kid is a freak, uh, former softball player. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The most wrongly worded term in movie history, maybe. And, uh, how many players is Georgia have in the top 10 on the college football best player rankings? I know. You're not supposed to double tees dial on. So I triple tees all next on the morning shift. Squid your huckleberry. That's right. On sports radio, 1990 game and the all to see app. Mm hmm. That's right. Here we go. Little, uh, Curie, Curie music. Uh, there hasn't been too much a CCR. This is how we're brought to you by Mark Spain, real estate. Go to mark Spain.com to get a guaranteed offer in your home today and start packing. This is yours. Yeah. I love some credence for the revival. It's a, it's a little old school, a little junk program. You like old school stuff. So I do. Um, I grew up listening to a lot of this, you know, like credence and obviously the rolling stone. That's why I, I mean, I like all that. Yeah. Anyways, anyways, we do have some stuff. Um, we got a busy life of squid. I got like three things that we marry and I get to. So Dylan, without further ado, let's the show be about me. It's time for a look back into the mind of squid billing. He might even talk sports. This is the life of squid on the morning shift brought to you by the W sauce and status truck and trailer repair driven by excellence, building successful partnerships. That's right. Um, I finally delivered on my bloody Mary mix for trip trip. Yeah. That's funny because Matt McKinnon who, um, works with, he's, he's a sales rep for the, for helps with W sauce. He came up yesterday and he goes, where's triple at? And I go, well, triple is right out of here as show ends. He's like, Oh, he's like, well, I had this. I was listening and I was like, I'll go ahead and help you out. So you, because you keep forgetting. And I was like, yeah, and triple don't remind me what she did not remind me again today. So I delivered, he's going to get, um, the Garrett Chapman approved bloody Mary mix from the W sauce, which is key West style. And don't forget to visit my friends at status truck and trailer repair. Look, I know if you're a squid nation, you probably drive a truck, whether it's big, small or medium, it don't matter. You want a fifth wheel, don't matter. El Camino, they'll work on it probably. What if you just alienated half of your, of your, I mean, when these were fan base, but if they don't have trucks, well, they can still be in the nation, but they might not take their personal truck to, they might have to take their work truck or company truck. I don't know. You got them covered. Okay. Maybe, maybe, I like, you know what? I asked the questions. I was asked questions. It, it, it all doesn't matter. However, I just don't need to go see Anthony. So give him a call, the official truck and trailer repair squid nation. That's how you are. We are official, not play that. Yes. That's right. Um, so what does Val Kilmer have in common with my, well, that's not good. My two favorite movies have one thing in common. Okay. Val Kilmer. Okay. In fact, Top Gun has always been my favorite movie until the day I saw Tombstone. What about the ghost in the, um, oh my god, the lion movie? You don't remember? Oh, my apple. I'll pull it up. Oh, you mean, um, the, the doctor, uh, doctor, um, no. And you keep going. Okay. Yeah. Ghost in the darkness. Yeah. Well, he's in it. Yeah. That's, that's not my favorite movie. I know. I just, it was saying what about it. I always liked that movie. Okay. Continue. Top. He's in Top Gun. He plays a prominent role in Top Gun. He's Ice Man. Yes. And then he plays a really prominent role in the movie Tombstone. Or he is Doc Holiday. Who is from where Georgia? He was a dentist in Georgia. He moved out west because he got the TB. That's tuberculosis. Yeah. Yeah. So I know my, my initials also stand for that as well. So it's Tom Brady, you know, so you get, you get the best of, you get positive and a, well, before, before TB 12 and big time TB Blackman, you know, there was the tuberculosis. I wore 12 before Tom Brady did. So you're there. Are you the OG TB 12? I'm just going to, you know, you know, that's what your Twitter handle. I wore 12 before TB for like the four TB 12, the branding. That's what I'm saying. It should say the OG TB 12 and then say Tiffany Blackman. I need Tom Brady to cut me a check because I inspired that. But anyway, only if you had copyrighted it. Do you want to say? Only I would. See? Get it. Get it. You could have been on something. I'm brand come out. It had to, I don't know. Anyway, it came out like, I think mid to late 2000s, like like 2000, maybe six, maybe five. Anyways, one of the most famous iconic movie lines to me in, in history is, well, let's just hear it. Well, I didn't think you had it in you. I'm your huckleberry. Why Johnny Ringo? You look like somebody just walked over your grave. If it's not with you, holiday, I'll beg to dip us up. We started the game. We never got to finish. Play for blood. Remember? I was just fooling about. I wasn't. All right. Now there, no one knows how Johnny Ringo actually died. The, the most common theory is that wider was the one that shot him. But that is the scene where Doc Holiday faces off with Johnny Ringo, Val Kilmer. The line that everyone thinks Doc Holiday says is, I'm your huckleberry. That is what everyone goes with. There are T-shirts. In fact, post game one, one day, Caleb McGarry is wearing a shirt. I actually had more respect for, well, I always liked him, but I was like, man, me and me and Caleb McGarry. We might be cool because he wore a shirt. I'm your huckleberry. However, that's not what he says. It's not what it's not. He is saying, I'm your hucklebearer. I'm your hucklebearer. It's just got it with a southern accent. And that term means it was saying someone, Dan, I'll help you to your grave, basically a pallbearer. Yes. So why, why would even people think huckleberry made sense in that case? Because that character, because Doc Holiday was known as a lot of things, but very witty, and Val Kilmer played this role, and there was nothing but one liner. But what would huckleberry mean in that situation? That's what I'm just saying. I don't think anyone thought of it like that. No one thought of it like that. They just thought he said I'm your huckleberry. And I think what... And I didn't know until you actually said that. I mean, I haven't seen this movie in forever. I don't really, you know, walk around like a lot of these dudes here quoting lines from movies. So when you already told me and then you played the sound, I heard him say it. I never would have thought he would have said huckleberry. So when you say I'm your huckleberry, the meaning is supposed to be I'm one for the job, right? Okay. So it wasn't out of total context. Yeah. But he says, and you can go back and listen, I'm your hucklebearer. And I heard it. I never thought that that's what he was saying. So then I go hear it because someone was reading it and then that's what he says is bear. And I'm... I'm your huckleberry. See? Bear. I'm kind of blown away. All right. The other story real quick, I know we got to get out. I want to get to, but you remember Ginny Finch? Yes. If you guys don't, not familiar, her, she was like one of the first superstars for American USA softball baller. Absolute baller. Her son, who has got an amazing name, Ace Daggle. Shane, Ace Shane Daggle. Yeah. Who is a 2025 prospect. He's 68 and 225 pounds. He's a monster. Wow. His fastball is topping out around 87. His slider is around 73. And his changeup is around 78. His... This is his scouting report. Ex-L physical frame with good extension low spin fastball developing slider. So when you see this kid, he's a righty. That's crazy. Ace Daggle is the son of a baller and Ginny Finch. Amazing. Also, she was like, yeah. When we come back here on the morning shift, we'll find out what's coming up on the stake. I'll stay with us here on Sports Radio and IHN on the game. Here we go, little cheering music. There hasn't been too much a CCR version on this show today. This is how we're brought to you by Mark Spain, Villa State. Go to markspain.com to get a guaranteed offer in your home today and start packing. This cheers you up. I love some Korean school revival. It's a little old school. You like old school stuff, so. I do. I grew up listening to a lot of this, you know, like Credence and obviously the Rolling Stones. That's why I like all that. Yeah. Anyways, we do have some stuff. We got a busy life of squid. I got like three things that we marry and I get to. So Dylan, without further ado, let's the show be about me. It's time for a look back. Into the mind of Squid Billie. He might even talk sports. This is the life of Squid on the morning shift.

You get it. You could have been on something. I had to, I don't know. Anyway, it came out like, I think mid to late 2000s, like like 2000, maybe six, maybe five. Anyways, one of the most famous iconic movie lines to me in history is, well, let's just hear it. Well, I didn't think you had it in you. I'm your huckle bear. All right, Johnny Ringo.
