Just the the tees for the Huey Lewis and the news. The new only rindle coming up next got me a little bit before we get there though. I want to wish you happy vacation in our chat. I love seeing where people are traveling in our chat. Chris is in Florence. I assume he means Florence, Italy right now. I hope you have an amazing time. It's one of the very few European destinations I've been to. In fact, I'll give you a restaurant recommendation because that's what I like to do in Florence in Florence. So does anyone remember it used to be downtown by Petco Park Italian restaurant called aqua aldue? No, it was right there in the gas lamps. There's a couple of blocks from Petco. It was a great spot to go before the games. Great Italian food, but it was a sister restaurant. The original was in Florence, Italy. When we went, we actually went and I just checked. It's still open. So it was fantastic. We had a great meal there. Aqua aldue in Florence, Italy. So Chris maybe already have plans, but that's my my Florentine recommendation for you. As Johnny says, here in Florence. Here in Florence. Really good food. He's in Florence. He's listening to Ben and what's above it. So you know the the bee-steck Florentine, the steak and the kind of really rare T-bone that they make with a little olive oil. I don't think I've ever been. Well, you need to go. I have no idea. Ben and wood show trip to Florence instead of Arizona. Let's try to get to one trip before we start going international. All right. Just one. Just a thought, but that's pretty cool. You said he's going to go tomorrow. Check it out. What's the name of it? aqua. I'll do it. Dewey is the number two. So aqua al number two. Two waters. Yeah, aqua baby. Two waters. Just guessing. Two water. Aqua. I'll do it. Great. All right. Polly, why don't we get to it. So don't make anybody wait any longer. And get things started here with our edition today's edition of the Rindel Report. Now tuned to them off. Greatest. Welcome to the Rindel Report with Paul Rindel. Hi Paul. All right. Two stories from the world of sports that we haven't gotten to yet. We'll start off in major link baseball and one story that you didn't know you needed. Are you laughing beyond? It's the Rindel 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. Can I get away? Yeah. All right. All right. All right. How are we doing gentlemen? Good. Good. Let's start. I got one more note here on the Olympics. I imagine you guys kind of wrapped up the Olympics a little bit yesterday, probably closing ceremonies. Would you catch any of the gold medal basketball game on Saturday? Last 30 seconds. That's all you needed. Yeah, really. It's fine. No, it actually tuned in after Steph Curry had made all run. That's all his three pointers. Last 16 seconds. You really need the last two minutes and 30 seconds. You would have you would have been good, but that's fine. One more Olympic story here. And did you guys talk about Jordan Childs at all? And we did not, actually, which is the last like remaining lingering controversy from the Olympics. So we have updates, but maybe set the record on like what exactly happened for exercise, individual competition. It was kind of one of the moments of the Olympics when the Brazilian gymnast who had always Andrade who had always been in Simone Biles shadow, she won Biles finished second. And then in a controversial finish, Childs finished fifth, but they they scored it wrong. They didn't give her enough credit for one of her routines. So the US asked, Hey, I don't think you gave this the right scoring. They looked at and they said you're right. And they added point one, which moved her from fifth to third. And they had to give they gave her the bronze. They took it away from, I think the Romanian gymnast who had finished third. So, you know, good for her too bad for the Romanian. But they finally got it right in the end, except they then switched it over the weekend and said that the US did not get their scoring protest in in the allotted 60 seconds. It actually took them like 63 seconds to get their protest in. So they revoked and said she now has to give back the bronze medal so they can give it to the Romanian. But they did get it in time. Well, and then the US appealed and said, we have video evidence that we got it in in 47 seconds. And they said, there's no extra appeal process. So they said, our decision is final. Jordan child needs to give back her bronze medal, even though she did absolutely nothing wrong. She did a routine. It was the third best routine. They made the mistake on the scoring. And then they made the mistake by saying it came after a minute when the US says, no, it's 47 seconds. But they said, well, there's nothing we can do about it. Now you have to give back your bronze medal. That's what it did. It's terrible. It doesn't feel like her first medal ever. Yeah. And then they also said, and I thought, which was very nice. Charles said, why don't we just give both of them bronze medals? Yes, fine. And they said, no, we can't do that either. Yeah, but you've done it before in other controversies. You can't even do it here. You can't give them both a bronze medal. No, she has to give back the bronze medal. You know, if the judges don't make the mistake, none of this happens. Exactly. The judges made the mistake. She didn't make a mistake. She actually got short changed. It doesn't make any sense. And that's a that's a that's a bummer, man. That's a bummer. Yeah, that sucks. Well, you know, flavour flame. We've talked about him a lot. Yeah, the Olympics. He's been like the Olympic. He's been yeah, Mr. Olympics. He has Mr. Red Lobster sponsoring like half the athletes. It feels like he hit the lottery. I know he made money from public enemy in his TV shows, but I thought he was in some dire straits there for a while. Maybe this is just great marketing, because we've been talking about flavour, flavour, way more and Red Lobster than we have before. Yeah. So he's genius. Well, he posted on social media USA going to fight the powers that be in the meantime, between time, I'm always be a man of my word at Charles Jordan. And he got her a bronze clock necklace. Perfect. And I don't know that that fully replaces the bronze medal that she had to give back, but it's pretty badass. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. It's a good consolation, I guess. He's like the glow up of flavour, flavour has been really fun to watch. And then I saw he posted it on Twitter, and I think it was Jordan, maybe her mom, said she's not on social media right now, but I'll make sure she sees this. That's awesome. That's so cool. So she did return it, Jeffrey said. She returned the bronze medal. That sucks, man. You have to find it first, if it was mine. No idea. Displacement. Sorry. Oh, that's killer. I love that. Probably put it in the chat, the bronze clock. Better than actually the bronze medal, honestly. All right. Next up, we teased this earlier. We never actually got to it, but watching the Padres game last night. Now, I have seen this once before. I don't know when the Padres broadcast started doing this, but they did not go to a commercial break after the bottom of the eighth inning last night. They've done it a few times. I've seen this before last night, but it is fairly recent. I don't like to start a break or just before when they did it the first time. Well, I would just like to say thank you to whoever came up with this idea to not go to a commercial break. They could have sold some more spots, some more commercials there. No, the third out of the bottom of the eighth inning happens, and instead the mics go quiet, and you get to see the full entrance of Robert Suarez. The stadium lights go out. Everyone pulls out their cell phone and has the flashlights on, and it looked so cool. I'm going to play it here on the stream. If you're watching, you can still listen as well. The camera following him from the bullpen all the way to the mound. He does the check with the umpires and then starts to warm up. I thought this was so cool. We haven't really seen it much here since Hell's Bell. The full entrance, Ryan Helsley has his now, Hell's Bell's as well, and you see Edwin Diaz had one, you see it around the league, and we always talk about it, but I was waiting for it to happen here in San Diego. So is this the same song that he's always used? The Bandolero from the Tokyo Drift soundtrack? Okay. Same one. I think so. I just wasn't sure. I wasn't familiar with the song. It's badass. It just sounded pretty cool. I noticed that right away. I was like, "Oh, they're not going to break this." It made me sad. It made me seem to be a cell phone camera from the third deck that we didn't get to use to do that when Trevor Hoffman came out to Hell's Bells. They would go to commercial break. Sometimes you'd hear like a bell, and then they'd go to break, and then when they came back, he'd be warming up. But we should have seen every single Trevor Hoffman and walk in for his entire Hall of Fame career. You know, I'm great. Of all the cool stuff in sports, the closer intro is up there for me, you know, with Trevor and Mariano, and now this, and Edwin Diaz's was badass. The trumpets. I mean, it was absolutely incredible, incredible. I love, it would make me one. Although it was really dumb when they played in the playoffs when they were down 7-0, and they brought him into the game. That was... That's dumb. That was stupid. Yeah. To do that. That's so good. So good. Slanted glances. I was there, and it's about as good as Hell's Bells. Trevor, when you're there catching it. And Ryan Hellsley using Hell's Bells is a problem. I hate even though his name is Hellsley. I really get that, and he's really good, but got a problem with that as well. Well, that was the news. Now, let's continue with Lewis. Yeah, we did the news already. So, yeah, I saw this story here on billboard.com. Huey Lewis is set to star in a mockumentary style sitcom on Fox called Whatever Happened to Huey Lewis. And yeah, just as if you've ever wondered, like, why hasn't anyone pitched a curb your enthusiasm type show about Huey Lewis? You've got it. It's been answered. It's coming. It's on its way. So, first of all, any initial interest there? Yes. Absolutely. Love Huey Lewis. I'm a fan. Big fan. He's going to star in it. He's going to be the executive producer. It's a half-hour sitcom playing a fictionalized version of himself, the single-camera comedy. Yeah, he's been longtime friends with the producer. It's being written and executive produced in the moment right now. So, yeah, I'm trying to find a release date. He's done some acting before. He was in Back to the Future. Did you know that? Yes, he was the teacher. He was the guy at the the band Try Out at the Beginning. He says, "You're just too darn loud when they were playing a hard rock version of The Power of Love on stage." And Marty didn't get the gig for the dance. So, in 2018, it says he'd been, he started to lose his hearing. And it's kind of a light-hearted take on the current phase of his life. And dotted by his co-dependent family, which is funny, an eccentric celebrity friend. I love that, actually. I've always liked Huey Lewis. I've been a big fan. I love Huey Lewis. What's your favorite Huey Lewis song? I wonder if we have the same song. I like Heart and Soul a lot. Okay, that's a good one. And I like, "Do you believe in love?" You know, I love The Power of Love. The Power of Love is great. And I love the heart of rock and roll. What's wrong with that one? I like how they list all the same. Oh my gosh. He goes through the inside of the map of the United States. DC, San Antonio, and the Liberty Town, Boston, and a Baton Rouge. Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco too. Detroit! It's the worst song. It's the old-timey rock and roll of Huey Lewis and the news. I like old-time, I like old-time rock and roll too. You know I do. Oh my god. It's a geography lesson and a song at the same time. Hey, I'm out of lyrics. I'm just gonna start reading cities. Escondido, it's a medus. You should do a parody of just the San Diego County. That would be great. That song's so bad. Adam says, "It's not the worst song. We built the city's worst." He likes that one too. It's another city song. What am I dealing with? I like maps. Yeah, he likes maps. I do. Yeah. So of course he likes that. He gets me with geography every single time. I do the cities again. DC, San Antonio, and the Liberty Town, Boston, and a Baton Rouge. Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City. Seattle, San Francisco too. Good evening. Detroit! On a rock and roll. I think he nailed it. I think he got it down. I don't know where there's music. You are. You are something else, man. And I know you like power love because of course. Back to the future of my favorite movie growing up. That's great for sure. Bro, did I tell you I tried to watch that? I think I did tell this story. I tried to watch it with Bo. He couldn't... I'm better off watching him. No interest. There's interest, but he's like, "Hey, where is he? What is going on? How does this happen?" And I'm like, wait seven years. I guess he's already 40 years in the past when they start the movie. Correct. So it's very confusing. To someone watching it for the first time in 2020. So that's his mom? Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, how did he get there? I don't know. I would admit. So when I was young, I was probably like nine when it came out. And I didn't understand how they could make Leah Thompson look so young in the past when she was all old and smoking cigarettes in the present. This is amazing movie magic that they have made Leah Thompson and Crispin Glover look so young from 30 years ago. I swear to God. Couldn't figure out. I don't know. They're just making them look older in the present. Like, I didn't get the picture a bit until maybe like three years ago. I'm not getting it right. You're winning the picture from existence. Exactly. Exactly. Oh, that song sucks. Christopher Lloyd, it's best role. Doc, he was great. Doc, he was fantastic. He was spectacular. 100%. A bold enlightening. It's a really good movie, but if you have a very inquisitive five-year-old six-year-old, it's a lot of questions. You're like, bro, I'm begging you. I'm begging you. Watch it. Let it breathe. And then maybe we can explain it after it's over. It's very tough to explain. Well, yeah, it looked around on like four different websites. No idea when the Huey Lewis mockumentary sitcom will air for Fox, but it's probably early in production right now. I'm into it. I wish it was on like a Netflix or something so they could curse and stuff. Max. Yeah. Something where they could curse and because that's part of the reason why Curb, you're doing some sort of family friendly though. Is he? Curb would not be the same show at all. Not at all. If they had to be on network. No, no, it wouldn't be like a worse Seinfeld, I think. Yeah. Yeah. You like, you couldn't even have JB smooth care. No, he couldn't even exist. So good, dude. So good. Thank you, Paulie. You're welcome. All right. Speaking of music, we got some concert tickets to give away in our next segment, a chance to go see Journey, Def Leppard at Petco Park on August 30th.

One more back to the future known for you woods. Our boss Adam in the chat mentioned the famous 1.21 Gigawatts line. So as a big fan, I followed that a little bit. So this is like the gift gift thing. They just didn't know how Gigawatts was pronounced pronounced. And he said Gigawatts and no one really knew. So they just left it in there. Is that right? It became iconic and iconic movie. There's no such thing as a Gigawatt. There's a Gigawatt, but he didn't he just said is a Gigawatt or Gigawatt? Let's go with Gigawatt. That's incredible. And so they just left it in there. I remember being a kid going to Universal Studios for the first time and seeing the town square and just being like you know like it was like the first time the clock the clock tower. Oh what a great movie that is. Now the rest of them were not good. Second was okay. Third one was I'm the enough fan. I like them all. Even the sequels. I mean you also like Heart of Rock and Roll. There's a there's a bit of Rope City. You built this city on Rock and Roll. I'm not as discriminating as you are. Is that a bad thing? Yes. I don't think so. I have more more things that make me happy. I like more things than you do. I think yes you do. You like more things than we've established that a lot of people do. It's a good way to live just like everything and you just tend to be happy all the time. Back to the jiggle bites. Jiggle Watts. Jiggle Watts. I was scrolling Instagram a few days ago and I saw somebody posted an old video of Bryce Harper and it said never forget when Bryce Harper didn't know how to say meme and it was like high school Bryce Harper or young Bryce Harper. Right? He was getting interviewed by like ESPN or baseball tonight or whatever and they cut out the question. It was something like they were asking about like well would you get that kind of a haircut or something and he just goes no I wouldn't do that. Like I already know how that would go. There'd be so many mimes of me. So we didn't know back then. Just an invented word doesn't mean me. I really need it. That's what I call my grandmother. MEMO. MEMO is memo. Why wouldn't me me be me? I get it. MEMO. MEMO. MEMO. MEMO. MeMO. MeMO. I don't even answer that right now because I know how many mimes are going to be out there. Me with a bald head. Dude God. It's like staggering to hear it. MEMO. That's fantastic dude. Holy crap that is fantastic stuff. MEMO. This is this is great on Twitter. Our friend Ali Rat it's been a long time. Yeah I love Ali. Shout out Ali Rat and we used to work with at the old station. She pointed out this tweet from last night. You can't play it. I'm not playing. I can read though what he what he tweeted from sax boy Billy 18. Says Jaw this is a pirates fan who was at the game last night. Jaw legit on the floor on how nice Petco Park is. Fans locked in to every pitch. The best vendor variety I've seen yet. Stadium looks like it was built yesterday even it was opened in 2005. Wow let's go box. It is really cool because PNC Park is generally considered to be a you know top three park in baseball by most people who go there. And this is a guy who goes to PNC going to Petco and just having his mind blown. Saw that. Yeah and I watched the video. What a great park we have. I watched the videos a lot of cursing in it but yeah I didn't play the video. Yeah I just just read the tweet which was a a nice moment and it's not great venue just for baseball.

Right. I know what people like. Jet airliner also has geography. It does. Dominic points out and you really do like maps. Maps and songs. Also has the S word in it which is very risky for me. Yeah it does. It does. You don't want to get caught up in any of that funky S going down in the city. It says they usually do on the clean radio stations that I heard it on but then I actually heard the real lyric once and I was blown away. That Steve Miller knew such such a mark blue words. Mark says that Journey has a new singer. It's not the same. He's as good. He's as good as Steve as Steve as Prime Steve Perry. He sounds just we should do that bit. Who is it Steve Perry or the other guy Ariel something I think is his name. He's really he's like Filipino. Yeah. He's incredible. Incredible. All right. See people calling in good luck.

I had been seeing some pretty decent reports coming in on on Twitter which is where I get most of my football news. I'm not I'm not it's not fully into it yet. Padres are still way in it. So I'm like it's on the back burner. But I've been seeing some good videos coming out of camp Ben Viking's camp from JJ McCarthy that looks like now he's expected to undergo knee surgery that's going to determine how much time he will be sidelined for fear not Vikings fans fear not. You've got Sam Darnold. So you're in great shape. He was he was actually probably going to be the starter as they worked JJ McCarthy and at the beginning I'm sure at some point they're expect well why don't I just FaceTime Kevin with a without anymore if we get the latest. Oh my god. Oh my god. No I'm not going to do that this time. No I'm not. He didn't answer last time. I didn't give him what he said. Give me warning next time. I'll answer. But I did not warn him that we were going to FaceTime him to ask him about JJ McCarthy plus he's in the middle of training camp and probably a meeting or in a practice or some sort of film room at this point. Yeah. Also you don't want to FaceTime and be like, so what do you do quarterback now? Make some nice hurry to make some national news right now. Right. Give us your whole plan for the upcoming season for Diamond Niscus. I now toward tournament Niscus for JJ McCarthy. That's a bummer. That's a bummer. But listen, I'm biking.

If you guys can figure out the technology. They did it on NBC and the Olympics for some of the parents. They had them hooked up to heart rate monitors as they were watching like their kids swimming and doing other diving other competitions. Boom beat like 140 beats per minute just watching in the stands. I can't I can't even imagine the parental reaction from the Olympics was some of the best stuff that I saw. I didn't watch a ton. But when I did see it, the head and the hands and there was one that was she didn't do that well. And you could just see like the the pain that you have, you know, for your for their kids. It was just insane. But yeah, I'll sign up for it. You guys can figure it out. All right. Game two Padres pirates tonight. Padres already four and oh against the pirates this season in the last week and a half trying to make it five in a row. Pirates have lost eight straight and this will be not a rematch. But Padres will see Luis or T's again for the second time in two weeks. They scored four off of him and six innings in that game in Pittsburgh. It was the one where they jumped out to the four nothing lead and the first two innings on the Machado and Peralta home runs. And then it and then they just stopped scoring and then the pirates ended up coming back to take the five for lead. And then the Padres went back ahead in the ninth on the era. That was the Higashioka could have been the ending double play and instead they threw it away and they ended up winning that one seven to six. But that was the Luis Ortiz game. He's not bad. I mean, he's got good stuff. Yeah. So they'll see him for a second time. I'd imagine Manning will be back in the lineup. You know, Peralta will probably get another chance. But you can't that was the one game that actually scored early. And then they stopped scoring is the exact opposite of a lot of the other Padres games where they don't score early and then they score against the bullpen. But nothing between the second and the ninth inning for the Padres in that game last week in Pittsburgh where they did win at seven to six is they've won every single game against the Pirates. But they've all they've all been really, really close obviously. They played the what the extra inning game and then one run games after that the last three in a row. So they've all been very close. The pirates are probably going. They feel like this. What do we have to do to beat this team? Yeah, 100% man. And they got it. You know, their season's over certainly, but you don't, you don't want to get bodied by not bodied, but you don't want to lose every single game to the San Diego Padres via the Pirates. They're going to want to come come away with a dub at some point. The crazy thing is played well enough to win a bunch of these games. They've lost eight in a row and there's six games under 500. But there are only six games out of a playoff spot and wall. I mean, they've got like five teams ahead of them. If they went on a huge run, I mean, you know, like the Cardinals did, they won the 17 in a row, certainly within striking distance to make it a run. If they started playing well right now, I don't see it happening, but technically their season isn't over yet. But it's quickly going down the drain with the game losing streak right now, but it's not like they have nothing to play for. They really, they really do. And that's because the Braves have not played well. And the Mets have, you know, they, they had a hot streak, but they've cooled off. Cardinals lost again yesterday, Giants lost again yesterday. There's just, there's just some flicker of hope for all of those teams, even the Cubs and the Reds are not. Cubs are only four games out of a playoff spot. Crazy, man. I thought they were dead. They were, they were dead and buried. They haven't even played well. And yet they've, they've hung around at four games out. Are you telling me the Cubs don't have a shot at four games out. They do. The Reds have the best run differential of, of any losing team in baseball, plus 45, they're four and a half games out. They're probably going, hey, we have one good week. We're now two games out of a playoff spot. There's still 40 plus games left in the season. All of those teams are still in it at this point. Yeah, no question, man. No question. These games are so massively important every single one. And you know, we've, we've, we've beaten this point to death. But those teams that we're neck and neck with, like the Diamondbacks, they're just not losing right now. They're, they're handling business every single day. Can it come back yesterday down for one to the Colorado Rockies? And you know, the Rockies aren't, aren't a great team, but they just, they're finding ways to win. They're dominating teams. They are a scary ass team. And I can't really, I can't really put my finger on it except for massive contributions from guys like Eugenio Suarez and could tell Marté only got one AB last night. I believe he's still, he's still a little banged up, but you know, their pitching's been good. Their bullpen's really good. So Marté, by the way, has opened up the National MVP race again with Shouhei Otani. Yeah. He's been that. He actually leads him in B-War. Marté is ahead of Otani now. So, you know, part of that, you know, part of the equation, when you talk about the end of season awards, how did your team do? And like, when you do that, though, for MVP. Not as much. Not as much. I mean, there's not, there hasn't been a ton of last place MVPs. Hey, Rod. Hey, Rod was one of them for the rain banks. But for the most part, you know, if your team surprises and does better, that gives you a better chance at an individual award. You don't think that when voters for rookie of the year go, Oh, Padres, if they make the playoffs and the pirates don't, that that won't figure in in their, in their, in their, in their, you know, their votes. And why, and why in that award would it, but not so much in that, I don't know, which is true. It does an MVP. I don't think so. Manager of the year. It certainly does. Yeah. You have to outperform expectations to be manager of the year. I think Mike Shilt is absolutely in the, in the convo for sure. Absolutely. In the conversation. In fact, the leader, is he the favorite in the National League for manager of the year? I would say Pat Murphy is probably up there. Mike Shilt is up there. Toriel of the low again. Yeah. I mean, they were a World Series team last year. So that raises expectations. I mean, the Padres cut $90 million in their payroll. 90. And they're way out performing what they did last year. Again, we're talking about the, the individual awards that again, if you ask any of these guys, none of them really care about certainly. But what, what Mike Shilt has been able to do getting though this much from this team is pretty astounding. I'm horribly biased, but and you are as well. I think Skip Schimacher has done a pretty good job. They're still playing hard. Every night games are like 500 since the All-Star break with no players. Did you see what their GM did yesterday? Yes. Cleaned out the front office by everybody. Pretty much everybody that any, anything to do with Kiming or Derek Jeter got fired yesterday. They, they fired again, Capler, who continues to work for the team doing God knows what as an assistant GM. We know what he's doing. We're making TikToks. You know what he's doing. Oh, yeah. He's in waiting. He's the next manager. He's the next manager of the Miami Mart. When Skip gets his, gets to be released from custody. Yes. With his parole, finally. That's what he's waiting. That is, I never even thought about that. That's what he's waiting for. So they, I was reading the article about Peter Bendix and, and one of the guys, one of the scouts he fired was a long time Houston astro scout. Now, again, Benny, you're talking. Framber Valdez, all those studs. Yeah, Christian Javier, all compo or whatever his name is. Yeah. Xavier Ocampo. I can't remember his name. Some of you, some stud, right? Some studs scout. And he has found all these pieces. And, you know, I think Jeter hired him away. And now Bendix wants to put his own stamp on it and is, is canning all of these people. So they said that there was a closed door meeting yesterday with Peter Bendix and Gabe Capler. And that's gotta be, if I had to guess, hey, bud, just sit this, you know, just ride it out. This is, this is what we're doing. We're all going to hire all our own guys and we're going to start this thing fresh. You're going to be at the helm of the Miami Marlins in three months. What a crock for the fans of the Marlins, though, that they essentially torpedoed their own season this year after with the plan already. Yep. Knowing. Yeah. Knowing everything that was going to happen this year. You want to talk about a pretty thankless job is going back and managing not taking this year. After winning manager of the year, making the playoffs and they go, yeah, we're going to cut. We're just going to cut everything. I want to, I want to put my stamp on it so badly that I'm willing to do this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. We're going to start fresh. I want, I want, this isn't anything skip-stole. This is just what you, this is what you know. Observation 100% of what the Marlins have done based on their own moves by their general manager. Well, and you're just talking about the Pirates and what, what they have and, and what they did and didn't do. I was out for the deadline, but there were a couple of those teams out there that you looked at and said, what are you trying to accomplish this year? If you didn't move some of the pieces that you didn't move and the Pirates are one of them where if you're a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, you got to be saying, bro, like, we've got a decent little core here. We're actually playing good baseball. Who did you, who did they add into the deadline? Beaks, beaks. And they traded their best starter, a guy named Martin Perez. Yes, he said the deadline. Like, what the heck are you doing there for nothing, for a rookie league Dominican player that the Padres gave up for Martin Perez has been fantastic in the first two starts for the Padres. I would, honestly, and this again, biased, but I'd be terrifying to do deals with AJ Prowler. He knows the talent. I mean, if he's got an interest in a plug, my first thought is, what am I missing? Yeah. Like even the guys that don't work out here, like Brent Rooker. Meiji at some point saw something in Brent Rooker that goes, I think this guy's got something. Matt Waldron, a player to be named later. AJ, like, that wasn't just random, like, just pick a guy off a list. He wanted Matt Waldron, like, from the beginning and said, I think there's something in there. AJ has that skill. Now, putting it all together into a winning roster, this is the first time we've ever kind of totally seen it. You mentioned Rooker, but how did we let him get away? I mean, roster crunch is real. It is. You can't keep everyone you want, and some guys get away for sure. Who, how did we lose him? I think he played, like, two games, and we DFA'd him. I mean, it was... I guess he had 29 bombs right now. He's in the American League right now. But he saw something. I mean, he didn't pick him up for no reason. He sees things in these guys. And if AJ has an eye on someone, I'm, like, rethinking my strategy again. Like, hold on. You want him? I better think twice. I'm trying to find the Brent Rooker deal, and I just can't remember if there was a deal. It was... I think it was literally a pickup and then a DFA at some point. Yeah. Yeah, he played... And I remember when he came up, it was like, who's... Oh, good. It's Brent Rooker day. In my typical fashion. And he is... Let's see. Traded Rooker to Kansas City for Cam Gallagher. Oh, Cam Gallagher. Yeah. And then they traded him as well or got rid of him. Yeah, that's right. Cam Gallagher, the catcher, the backup catcher. All right. AJ's doesn't know every single move. I guess he's not right. He's not infallible. Holy crap. We're going down to the game tomorrow. Going to try to go down and say hello to some of the guys, and hopefully we'll have some stories for you. Paulie and I are. We're going to go down after the show for the day game. And we've got the Odyssey Company, like, what's it called? Like, culture building. Yeah. Team building. Team building. Well, synergy. Which is the good... If I have to do a... Am I a culture problem? We're starting our staycation tomorrow. We're going... Right. To do our staycation. That's why I'm not going. I mean, if you don't care about the culture of this company, there's not going to make you care about the culture. Is anyone ever going to think that I care about the culture of anything? That's the thing. Is there any way for me to save that at this point? I don't think so. I think if you show up, I think it would go. I am showing up to work on my staycation this week, which Michael has already pointed out in the chat. That's leadership-type stuff right there for me. Yeah, but if you... I mean, Paulie and I will be at the culture meeting. The culture get together. Synergy, creating synergy with the team and the building. I'm allowing someone else to go in my place, thus creating even more culture. You would actually make the culture worse if you were there. Just because you was sitting in the corner. You don't know anybody. You're kind of standoffish. I'm making the right call. Hannah said that yesterday. I went to the grocery store with Bo and she and Taylor sat in the car. She goes, "What the hell took you solid?" I go, "I don't know." We were, you know, chopping it up with this guy at the register. She goes, "You were talking to some guy who... Yeah!" And she goes, "That never happens to me." I go, "Yeah, you're not approachable." She goes, "Bends like that too." She goes, "You're married to one, and you're work married to another. You're not very approachable." I always say that we were in there for like 40 minutes. She was in the fat with some guy. She was in the breeze. And she said, "Yeah, nobody comes up to me." I said, "Yeah, because you look mean. And you're the same. You look annoyed." I don't look annoyed. You don't look mean. You do look annoyed. You look big. I think that's... I'm, it can be intimidating my size. My size can be intimidating. Save that as well. Oh. That won't come back to my size. That will not come back to get you at all at all. I'm okay with that drop out. You said there's that gold at the very end of the show. Oh, is that the end? That's the music. That means we are at the end. It was good to have Polly back today. Our executive producer, imaging director. Great job, Polly. Got woodsy. Annie and Elston are standing by. They are coming up next. We'll talk to you tomorrow. I got two cameras on.
