He's been a part of the team for a few years now. And unfortunately, with the 40-man roster crunch and everyone coming back, didn't even get a mention yet this morning. But the Padres yesterday, DFA at Jose Zocar to make room on the roster for Fernando Tetis Jr.'s return from the 60-day injured list. Bryce Johnson was also optioned down to AAA. Now, maybe a sugar passes through waivers and remains with the organization. Maybe he opts for free agency and tries his hand with a different team. But there were some moments over the last few years where sugar came through either defensively, with his legs. Had a couple of big moments for the San Diego Padres. And unfortunately, they just didn't have any more room for Jose Zocar. And he was DFA yesterday. It's wild, man. Wild, because I can vividly remember not having anything to talk about in January of last year and talking about what your potential options were for the San Diego Padres. Did he start the opening day this year? Merrill did. Merrill started in San Diego. And so far, sugar didn't have to start. I don't think so. But I can vividly recall tweet saying, well, just give sugar a shot in center. How bad could it be? And yeah, man, you look at-- I don't know what happened. Because he's every bit as good as Bryce Johnson. I thought so, too. I think-- And again, they know so much more than we do. And I don't know what happened. I really don't. I have no idea. But yeah, sugar DFA'd. When they sent him down, I was like, no, OK. I didn't think he was doing that badly. Right. I didn't need him. He didn't even want to go. And then never brought him back up and ends up getting DFA'd. He didn't realize he was on the Padres roster all the way up until June 22nd. Yeah, he was there the first two and a half months later. He was the defensive replacement for Pro4 early in the season, that Cubs series. We all remember that. And Pro4's spot came back up. And sugar, all that. But yeah, I mean, look, it's just a guy. Yeah, somebody makes a point. The pinch runner, Jabi, used to have, was taken by Tyler Wade, who's much faster. I died the other night. By the way, did you guys die when he put Tyler Wade in a pinch run for crony at third? I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. Now, my fat ass takes a non-runner, because I can't run. Even I, if I hit a triple, even I'm going to stay at third. Now, Xander's fly ball would have scored Jake easily as well. And the throw was 40 feet over the head of the catcher. Jose Sierra, but I'm working well. So it's a 3-3 game. And if it comes down to it, and there's a play at the plate, don't you want that extra step, step and a half that you're getting from Tyler Wade? I mean, it might be the difference between a win and a loss. So by only-- That's aggressive managing to make sure even the smallest detail, you can go ahead and win that game. Now, if you don't score, and Jake's spot comes back up, and you know how you got Tyler Wade in the lineup-- Well, no, for defense, it was defense. And so we all saw Xander move over to short for a couple innings. And they put Tyler at second for Jake. And I just thought to myself, now again, it wasn't the wrong move. We won the game. It surprised me knowing how much shilty values defense, and how good crony is defensively, that he would say, this 90 feet, which, by the way-- I think in that moment, he was valuing that run more-- That run more than defense. Which is rare, but-- It's rare because you're on the road, and you still have to get three outs, and you have to have defensive guys out. Yeah, but you guys don't matter. It don't matter as much if you don't get that run. Now, if they're already up four to three, and that's an insurance run, I don't think you'd do it. But because you're tied, it would be applause. I would need that run to win. Again, maybe you do. Not saying it was the wrong move by any stretch. Don't get me wrong. I was surprised when it happened. And I actually thought for a second, oh, he might have tweaked something. You know what I mean? That was my thought, because I just said, crony's fast enough he's going to score on a fly ball. But we always like to imagine as fans that there is a right decision and a wrong decision. But a lot of the decisions are 50/50 or 49/51, 52/48. I mean, it's really small, and it comes down to-- I mean, when you're next level, and I'm sure Mike Shilt could explain this better than I am, but you're thinking, oh, Xander Bogart's can hit a fly ball, but they're not always the deepest of flies. Is he the guy that might hit that mid-level fly ball that-- Tyler Scorson. It could be a difference between a step or two with Tyler Wade. And maybe if it's Manny, he'd go, if he hits a fly ball, it's going to be plenty deep enough to score the run. I don't need the pinch runner there. But with Xander, maybe I do. He's got a little less power, a little less pop. I don't know. I want to ask him about that Friday. And just say, please walk us through it, because I did think it was funny as hell. When I was like, oh, they're pinch running? A guy-- you don't see a lot of that, unless it's like a big lumbering dude. And it was close to him. But they didn't do it earlier when he was on base. And they're like, what made the decision for you when he got to third? Yeah, it was wild. And I just thought that was one of those moments that gets kind of lost in the shuffle. And I thought, that's really interesting. Play by Mike Schilt, who values defense very, very much. And so it's that you definitely are weaker with Tyler Wade playing second than you are with Jake Cronoworth. 905, Paulie. Take it away. And get things started here with our edition today's edition of The Rindle Report. Now tuned to them off. Greatest. Welcome to The Rindle Report with Paul Rindle. Hi, Paul. All right. Two stories from the world of sports that we haven't gotten to yet. We'll start off in major league baseball. And one story that you didn't know you needed. Are you laughing beyond? It's The Rindle Report. Hey, Paul, how you doing? OK, how are you? On 97.3, the fan. Are you ready to blast the mood? Yeah, I need some help, please. That was good. Can I get a hoo-hoo here? Oh, yeah. All right. All right. All right. A little late on the all right. Yeah. That the mic turned off. All right. All right. All right. All right, gentlemen, we'll start off in the NFL. Pretty wild and scary scene for San Francisco 49ers rookie. Oh, my God. Ricky Pearsall, who was shot in the chest over the weekend. I think it was on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon. He was in downtown San Francisco, and it was an attempted robbery over his watch, I believe. Yeah, it was over his Rolex. And he was on his way to go sign autograph somewhere. I think he just had some autograph. Are you just signed? And somebody tried to jack him. He tried to rob him, and it ended up with him. And I think a couple other people were shot. And I saw a video of him getting into the chair. They would lift him into the ambulance. He walked to the ambulance. He had his shirtless. And he had whatever t-shirt he was wearing that was pressed up against his chest. And the EMT was just holding it there as he's like sitting in and getting into the ambulance. And you're like, this man is holding his t-shirt over his bullet wound and his chest. He walked to the ambulance. It was throwing through, it went in his chest, threw his torso out his back and did not hit, you know, hit your heart, your organ, your dead. Luckily for him, it passed through, did not hit any vital organs. And he's gonna be okay. - Really? - I saw this before they said, "May miss four games." I'm a four game. - He has been said out at least four games. - At least four games. - But he has been released from the hospital. He's on the mend, but God, dang, that is scary. - I mean, they haven't told all the details, other than, you know, a robbery gone wrong or confrontation, but it was, the attacker was also shot with the same gun. - Yeah, it was his gun. To me, I'm imagining the old movie scene where they're fighting, they're now fighting over the gun and he goes off a couple of times and like, crazy. - We're shot here, Union Square Saturday afternoon after a 17 year old male attempted to rob him, resulting in a struggle between the two, according to the San Francisco Police Department. And then both he and the suspect were shot. So yeah, it was kind of like the, they're like struggling for the gun or something, but man, that's scary. - By the way, just a little breaking 49ers news this morning. Mentioned last week, Brandon Iyuk got signed. Trent Williams, hold out, is over. The Niners are finalizing a new deal this morning with Trent Williams putting their star left tackle in position to play in Monday's season opener against the New York Jets. - Taking care of all those guys, seeing lamb last week, cowboys, suck quote. From over the weekend, Jerry Jones saying, "You're about to have a buttload of money "or something like that." He's like, "Be careful, just be careful." The fatherly advice, just be careful. - So almost as if none of these guys just wanted to be in training camp and just wanted to skip the whole session. - If it works, it works, man. - Can we hold out from the last day of the world series until Thursday of spring training? - Yeah, we should hold out. That's where we are. - We want more money. - Yeah, it's a good boot. - All right, moving on, yesterday was big day for Netflix, Labor Day, holiday, everybody home, and they had a live event, which, those are few and far between for Netflix. They're still dabbling in the live event, whether it's a comedy show, the roast of Tom Brady was alive. And we had Kobayashi versus Joey Chestnut. Hot dog eating contest, goat, the goat. And yeah, they did it live. They had those first time that those two have gone head to head in 15 years. 2009 was the last time both competitive eaters went at each other, and Joey Chestnut demolished. - Did you guys watch the floor, did you guys watch it? - I did not. - I saw highlights later. - I actually showed some on Channel 10 last night. - I'd forgotten that that was happening until it already had already come and gone. But yeah, Joey Chestnut in 10 minutes threw down 83 hot dogs. - World record. - Said it broke his own record. - No. - Kobayashi had 66 in that time. - Which is insane. - 66 is insane. - 83, that's 8.3 hot dogs per minute. - That's bun and all, everything. - Bun and all. - The dizzy, dizzy dip. - Yeah. - They had the cup of water. - Lemonade. - I don't know what they drink. - I heard it's lemonade. - Is it really? - We had Joey Chestnut on, like, three or four years ago. - Yeah, we did. - Yeah. - You don't remember that? - No. - I got his number, yeah, we had him on. - We did. - He's somehow related to Tabitha Lipton, like uncle or cousin or something. - Yeah, it's vague, vague. - She's like, yeah, you guys want to talk to Jim? - It was a pandemic interview. We're like, hell yeah, we'll do it. - What always strikes me about the hot dog eating competition is that you're turning something that is inherently pretty pleasurable. I enjoy eating a good hot dog. You do as well. - Yeah, glizzy. - Into something that looks so miserable. I mean, Joey is pouring sweat and his stomach is distended. And he just looks at a bite and his chugs more. - Miserable, chugging hot dogs into his face at a rate of one every eight seconds and just downing, downing, downing. - It looks like the most miserable experience ever for something that when you have one, really great, it's really great to eat a hot dog. Eating 83 of them in 10 minutes might be the worst thing that you'd ever do. - Too much of a good thing, right? - Could you eat 83 hot dogs in a month? - No. - I don't think I could. - I couldn't. - That's more than two a day. - Yeah. - I couldn't do it. - I'm like, oh, I have-- - In 10 minutes. - I have like all hot dog a month, one. And even then though, like I get halfway through it and I'm like, ugh. - You start to think, what am I eating? They ain't good. - I don't care about what I'm eating. I just, I feel like once I've had one, I'm good for at least a few weeks. - Yeah, it's like instant heartburn for me too. Every single time. So I'm, but yes, this guy, Eric said in the chat, eating contests are gross and idiotic. I agree. - I agree. - I really agree. - I think so many people don't have food. - This is watching much I could, like it's so weird. - Yeah. - It's weird. - Yeah. - But I guess you got to tip your cap to the goat. He is truly the best-- - Did your parents ever, when you didn't finish your plate, pull the old, they're starving children in Africa? - All the time. - You didn't finish your food. - Things have changed, man. As far as parenting goes. - The problem is, is that finishing your plate is probably not the healthiest thing that you can do in the world. - Think about when you're a kid. - Right. - There's three pieces of chicken, three green beans, and four grapes. And my kid's like, every night. Every single night is the fight of my life. And now I should, should I put her on blast? I can wait. I'll do it at 9.35 and put my wife on. Such hardcore blast. Such 9.35. I'll tell you, I'll tell you what's happening in our household. It's food related. She's so dead right now. - Stay tuned for that. - Stay tuned. - Yeah. - All right. And then finally, I don't know how big of a deal this is, but it's one of my longtime suspicions has been confirmed. I have an Apple iPhone with Siri. I have a couple of Alexa devices in our home. Active listening from your devices. It's a real thing, and it's been confirmed now. Because for you to tell your Alexa to do something, they have to be listening even for the words, hey Alexa, right. You have to be, the device has to always be listening for that. And I've had friends that work for Amazon up until the other, like, oh, trust me, it's not, it doesn't catch everything. It has to activate it with, I'm like, but it is listening for that command either way. Well, Cox Media Group, television, radio conglomerate, they kind of leaked something to investors. It was in a pitch deck. - Right. - They leaked about their active listening software that they can listen to pretty much every conversation being had if you have any of their products, any of their devices, and then mark it towards whatever interests you. And this literally happened to me, I mean, happens all the time, but I remember within the last week, I bought some sunglasses, and I was looking around, trying to decide which brand to buy my sunglasses. I had not touched my phone yet. I was just sitting on the couch talking to my wife about said brand, I went with RayBans. When I opened my phone, again, had not looked anything up, every fourth Instagram post was RayBans. - Sure. - And I go, they're listening. - It happens to me all the time. - They are listening. - And I end up buying. - They've heard everything. - Right. - Kinda creepy. - Cox put that out, well, it got leaked. - That's not new though, is it? - It's confirming what we thought. - What we are deepest. - They were pitching to their investors, hey, look at this active listening software that we use. - I wanna see what is on his phone. - Like what ads I'm getting? I'm just trying to look. - Let's see what ads. - Comfortable shoes, NFL Sunday tickets, allergy medication. - Matt says in the chat, delightfully convenient. It kinda creeps me out when it happens. - I do get a lot, I don't know why. I think it's because of this show, 'cause our phones are here while we're talking about things. - A lot of ads for sex twice in my feed. A lot of them. - That's weird because I don't get any of those. - I'm in the same room for the same amount of time. - I've never bought one online or in person, actually. - I don't get those. - You don't? - Nope, not even-- - What do you do? - Not even a little. Ads on what, Instagram? - Or Twitter. - Are my Twitter ads? - It's kind of the one time I don't have any ads. - I'll do Instagram. What kind of toys are you? All right, okay, okay. - Wow, sorry. - Wow, let's have some real estate ads. There's a shirt, T-shirts, I buy a lot of T-shirts. - Ah, here's what I get on Instagram. My first one is Granger. Because, of course, every single week, I welcome everybody for the Brett Boone segment brought to you by Granger, for the ones you get. - Granger, Granger, Granger, Granger, Granger. Of course, my first ad is for Granger here on Instagram. - I got one for a cold plunge tub that's $2,000. - You guys were talking about cold plunges earlier during a break. - We have. - Here's an audio that makes recording music so easy. I'm not a recording one. - Cindy Sweeney, Cindy Sweeney, Cindy Sweeney, Cindy Sweeney. Here's one if you've been diagnosed with leukemia, a consumer justice. Now, we were talking about leukemia this morning when we talked about Kirk Herb Street's dog. - That's true. - Then, who had leukemia and he takes him to all of his games and everything, so. - Little league bats here. - That makes sense. And clothes, I get a lot of clothes in mind. - So, just now that wherever you're at, they're listening. - Okay. - And this is not just phones, but smart devices in your home and everywhere. - Now, did you guys see Hannah in the chat? - No. - No. - She defending herself already? - No, I said I'm putting her on blast at 9.30. All right, 9.35. And she said, oh, I have a Botox appointment at 9.30. Super convenient. Put me on blast at 9.35. She's so dead. You guys, I think you'll have my side on this one. I really do. - Was that timed perfectly? - I didn't, I knew there was a appointment I forgot, but I think you guys will really have my back here. I hope so. - Curious. I'm not a king of scares me. - She's dead, though. - She's dead on this one. I finally feel like I have the upper hand here. Finally. It's only been a decade. You guys will get a kick out of it. - All right, don't go anywhere. Sometime in our next segment, we're gonna move away those Padres tickets for tomorrow's game. And then Woods puts Hannah on blast. And then Annie and Elston at 10 o'clock on San Diego's number one sports station, 97 through the fan. - From the mind of a two foot tall talking spokespuppet comes this year's biggest challenge.

That's another way to put it. - Coward. - He's pitching today, is that true? - I think so. - But as I was doing the projections, it looks like the Padres are gonna miss Blake Snell in both series against the San Francisco Giants. Two three game series and right now, he scheduled a pitch tomorrow before they come to town and then he'll pitch again next Wednesday 'cause they have some off days as well and it will just dodge them when they go back to San Francisco. Which means if that holds, Padres will never face Blake Snell this year. - Find behind me. - It was kind of, well, in the division, I was sort of expecting a Blake Snell match up, a reunion at some point. But in the pennant race, again, he's been throwing really, really well. Not the worst thing if you miss him a couple of times. Now, the Padres are gonna have you Darvish going tomorrow as he returns from the injured list in game two of the series against the Tigers. And then they're gonna move up, I believe I saw, Martin Perez into Thursday's game, which will give not only Michael King a full week off between starts, but then with two off days coming up next week, he'll miss the entire next series against the Mariners and won't pitch for another week plus until his following start. So he'll have two weeks and just one start in those two weeks based on how the Padres are reworking their starting rotation with you Darvish coming back tomorrow. And Perez is gonna pitch, I think, on Thursday against the Tigers. That's clearly a way that they are trying to stretch out the innings of Michael King and keep him fresh going into the postseason, knowing he's already pushing career high, career limits. He's over the Major League career high and I think he's right at minor league, Major League combined, says career high for most innings thrown. - I like what he said, he goes, I feel good and I'm not thinking about it. You know, like he's just gonna pitch when they tell him to pitch and as long as he's feeling good. Yeah, I mean, some people make the jump. We saw it, we saw it with Seth Lugo. Seth Lugo has done a phenomenal job at making the jump from reliever and wherever they used him in New York to what he did with San Diego and now what he's done with Kansas City. But today as you look through the Major League Baseball schedule, now we're off. That means we get to kick up our feet as fans and just root like hell for the Boston Red Sox, which is always fun to do. We're also gonna root for the Chicago Cubs. - They're playing the New York Mets. - They are playing the Mets. We're gonna be rooting hard for the Chicago Cubs today in Wrigley Field. Paul Skeens will take on the Cubs. - No, we, oh yeah, well. - I love Paul Skeens. - The Cubs are kind of back in the conference. - They're kind of in it though. - They're kind of in it, but you're only three and a half bag. - Now, okay, Cubs could still lose. - And Paul Skeens doesn't. - That would be the best outcome. - Yeah, Paul Skeens pitches poorly. - Paul Skeens pitches poorly, but the Pirates come back and win late. - Yeah, there you go. - I'm not too worried about the Cubs, but just pointing it out that they're still in it actually. - The Dodgers are taking on the Angels, the Los Angeles Angels. - That's a rivalry game. - Okay. - Walker Bueller's, I think, pitching today is not thrown well. - He pitched okay last time. You know, there are a couple of errors behind him that kind of set him back. - And we're Giants fans tonight. - We are Giants fans tonight. Yeah, we are. Yeah, it's gonna be Ryan Nelson against undecided for San Francisco right now. So yeah, we're big Giants fans. It's gonna be the league game. - Bob Melvin's pondering that as we speak. - Yes, he is. - Who am I going to start? - To lose by one run tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks. - The Diamondbacks don't lose, don't win by one. - So they win by like 11. - They win by 11 or 12 seemingly every, or they lose by 11 or 12, which they did the other day. - I mean, we talked about it a little bit with Sammy. We were talking about it off the air before our show started, you know, talked about it all week last week. Who do you root for? - Yeah. - Four game series. And I'm never going to say I'm rooting for the team up north, but I was absolutely rooting for the Diamondbacks to lose, because right now-- - So you were rooting for the Dodgers? - I didn't say that. Those are your words. - So if you say I'm rooting for the Diamondbacks to lose when they play the Dodgers. - I am rooting for the Padres to get the number one wild card seed. I would love to win the division. That's a little bit further of a reach right now. You got the three games in LA to wrap up the season and then followed by the three games, the final three games in Arizona. You do not want to have the off day and then stay in Arizona for those three games. There are no back and forth at first round of the playoffs, the wild card round. I won all three of those games at home. I don't care if that means pitching Dylan Sees on Sunday to get there, 'cause then he can still probably give you something on Wednesday or maybe like Thursday at game three, like you have to get home games. It's huge for the organization, playoff ticket, revenue to us. - Well, you get down there and party with you guys, wherever we might be. Like the next round, if you can make it past and get into the divisional round, then you're guaranteed at least a home game. - Sure. - Nothing's guaranteed in that wild card round. I think it is the most important thing for the Padres right now to make sure they get at least the number one wild card. - Brandon in the chances. Beaumel can help the Padres for the first time in two years tonight. Oh my God, it's cutting and fairly accurate. - By the way, not focuses as much on the American League, but the biggest series in baseball is the Cleveland Guardians and the Kansas City Royals in that very tight. AL Central, as they go tonight, Tanner Bibby against Brady Singer in that game in Kansas City. - It's fun one. - So that's also a big one. All right, if you wanna go to the game tomorrow night though, now's your time to call in and win 833-288-0973. Let's make it the fifth caller. Right now, we're gonna win a pair of tickets to tomorrow's Padres Tigers game. First 40,000 fans in attendance. We'll see if a free city-connect hoodie, go to potterdays.com/tickets for details, but call now to win a pair 833-288-0973. Did see the Padres are projecting based on remaining ticket sales and the remaining 11 home games that they will break the all-time attendance record that is held since last year when they set the all-time attendance record at Petco Park. Pretty good considering how badly last season went. You thought, well, I won't have the kind of attendance this year that they had last year. No, they're gonna break it. I have even more fans coming in and supporting this team. And they've been rewarded this year with a playoff contender. - 100%. - All right, good luck. - Shout out SD. - Good luck, Paul. You'll pick up some phones during the break. And then when we come back, my Woods is putting Hannah on blast. - This could be it. - As she heads in for Botox. - This could be it. - Does this have anything to do with Bo being toxic at home? - I don't get it. - Botox, toxic Bo, with kids. No, we'll be back at 97.3, the fan. (upbeat music) - Next, it's one of the tickets, Pauli. - Trevor. - Trevor, congratulations. Gonna go see you Darvish back on the bump. - Wasn't Trevor Hoffman, wasn't he? - It was not Trevor. I think he's set for tickets. - Usually it's pretty good seats when I see him. - Yeah, he's really good seats. - Trevor, we're always here for you. If you want to bring the fellas to a game any time, I'll buy the beers. I think the beers are free down there, actually, so. - I don't know that Trevor Hoffman has to buy a lot of beers. - I'll give the tip. - I'll pay the tip. - How about that? - Just the tip. - I'd love to go to a game with Trevor Hoffman almost more than anything. - So, Trevor oftentimes sits behind the home plate or up in, I've seen him in the owner's box. - Trevor Hoffman. - But if he actually just walked to a concession stand and said, "Can I have a beer?" Would they make him pay for it? I feel like they'd have to. I mean, or with the person who just works. - Someone in line would pay for his beer. - Someone in line. - Yeah, but if no one paid for his beer, would the person working there go, "Just take it." Like, "It's your Trevor, just take it." You want to be here? Here's a beer. They would know, right? - I'm gonna text him right now. - I want to know. - I'm gonna text him. - When's the last time you paid for a beer at Petco Park? - I really hope you can answer 15 minutes. - He takes like a month to ask you, right? - Well, that's a good tease. So coming up in early October, we'll get the answer to that question. Trevor Hoffman. - JH619 says, "No, that's stealing." - No, he's not stealing beer. Someone gives it to you. It's not stealing. - Trevor running around, drinking half-empty beers on the concourse. - It's embezzly. - It's embezzly. - It's embezzly. - Bezzly. - That's right. (laughing) - Do they still have the, they have the Randy Jones grill? I think still on the main concourse. - Yeah. - Like just Randy Jones, if he wants a hot dog? - I mean, my name's literally on the stand buddy. - We buy our own merch, so, I mean, you know. - That's what you do. - When we were first doing the pre- and the post-game show, Craig and I were very poor, you know, like making no money. Randy would always take us under his wing. There's coming heat on scholarship tonight. We're bringing us to his barbecue stand and really hook us up with food, yeah. - Really? That's so sweet. - That makes me love it more. - When I was first starting out in radio, I was on the promotions team at the mighty 1090, and part of my duties was the post-game show at Lolitas, it would be a good parking when you're on the promo team. - No. - And, I mean, I'm hauling this cart through East Village. It's 11 o'clock at night, and a truck pulls up, and I just hear, "What in the hell are you doing?" It was Randy Jones. He got out, helped me load you through everything in the back of his truck. - We're leaving my car. - I love that. - He's a good guy. - Higgly, you and Elston get you a plate. - You're on, scholars. - You know they're a big sheet of plate. - Good old artist. - Oh, here he goes. - Wow. That was a quick month. - Comes with my seats that I paid for. It's gotten more expensive, but listen. - Oh, so he's buying his own seats, though. - So yeah, that's what he's paying for the beers, because they come with the charge with the seats. - All right. Well, listen. - He never wanders around and orders one while he's there. I guess not. - No, no. If I've already paid for it, I'm not going to go in there. - I sat in those seats for you one time. You didn't want to leave. You did not move. - Of course not. - Everything was free. He sucked it down. Cracker jacks. - Oh. - Exactly the sound I made, he did too. He lost his mind that night while speaking of food. This is where I have to drop the hammer on my beloved wife. - That's coming up right after traffic at 97 through the fan. - I'm still impressed that Trevor buys his own seats. There's a statue of him at Pekko Park. You should never have to buy a ticket to a place where there's a statue of you. - He's in part responsible for the construction. - Exactly, very large part responsible for it. - Yeah. If you have a statue, you should get tickets, right? - I think so too. Wherever you want. - Man. I mean, that's, you know, listen, that's how you make money. You gotta keep making money. - You gotta get it. - All right. So don't feel bad. Everybody else. - I'm very nervous for this next segment. - You should be. - Ah. All right. So what's the number one thing you guys argue with your spouse is about? Number one. - Dinner. - Yeah. - Dinner. - Clear and present. - I would say 90% of our, I don't want to say arguments, but like, disagreements. - Yeah. - It's, what do you want to do for dinner? What are we making for dinner? - Yes. - Where are we going for? Like, what are we ordering for dinner? Whatever. - Dinner. - It's dinner. - For me, it's not paying attention or listening carefully enough. - It's weird because that's my number one grab of YouTube, but that's for another day. We have a consultant meeting tomorrow. We'll be addressing that tomorrow at 10.15. All right. - All right. - I know I have a problem with it. It's my number one. - It's my number one. - You don't need to keep bringing it up. I know I have a problem with it. This is going to be like me observing YouTube. - It matters. - Honestly, not there. - I acknowledge I have a problem with it. - I do. - So few months ago, well, and I've told you guys the struggles that we have with food in our house. It's not uncommon. - You might have. I'm not sure if I'm interested in it. - Yeah. You probably weren't paying attention. It's more difficult when you got the kids because they're very picky, so I told you guys there was a time there. I was doing all the cooking and everything else, and I turned into a short order cook. One kid wants to grill cheese, the other wants to chicken and whatever, and then Hannah wants something totally different, and then I wanted something different. So we hit, it was like a pretty gnarly flight actually a few months ago, and she said, "What I need from you, I need you to handle all the food in our house." And I mean lunches, grocery shopping, dinners, because I don't want to make the kids lunches. You do it. And I said, "Done. Will this put an end to this strife?" And she said, "Yes." We had it. We pitched it to the counselor. This is what she asked. I said, "I've got it. I'm taking the rain." So then I dropped the hammer and said, "Don't buy any more snacks. Don't buy it. You don't ever have to set foot in the grocery store again. Your old pal Woods has got you." All right? I'm buying all the snacks, I'm buying all the fruit, I'm buying all the food. I'll handle dinner. And I said, "Do you mind? If what if I get it, farm it out and I get a service?" She said, "Whatever. I just want dinner covered." So I did some exhaustive research and I found a company that provides healthy-ish meals. And I said, "I'm doing it." And I did it. I've done the meal prep service. Yep. And this is a good one. Weekly deliveries. They taste fantastic. They look pretty healthy. Healthy-ish is a great spot to be. Healthy-ish. If it's all just healthy. If it's all just, no one's ever going to be happy. Brown rice, broccoli, and chicken every meal, you're going to get tired of that. You need ish. So they have variety. It's great. So I bite the bullet and I say, "I'm doing it." So I do it. And I've taken over all the lunches, all the grocery shopping. I'm still in the store four days a week. The turkey goes bad over the weekend. I got to buy a new... You know, so I'm getting the kids dialed in. So the meals are coming. I'm not hearing a peep. No one's arguing. Everyone's just sitting down eating their meal. Last week. I go, "Hey, how was that?" My wife. Here we go. And she's... But I just... It wasn't good. There's too much fat in it. And I went, "All right. What would you like me to do?" Because I'd like to be... I'd like to help select the meals every week. And I go, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." You remember when you said, "I don't want anything to do... I just want dinner in front of me and I will eat it." And I said, "That was a quote." And she said, "Yes. You remember that." And I said, "Now, we have to get together and select the meals every week. Fine." So yesterday, we get together to select the meals. About three minutes of selecting. "Mmm. Just leave me out this week." I go, "What?" And she goes, "Just leave me out." I go, "What are you gonna eat?" And she said, "I don't know. I'll figure it out." I go, "But you won't." So I go, "Do you want me to make you something every night?" She goes, "Why me? That'd be nice." So now the meals are bought. I have to make her something special. I'm losing my mind. So I told her. I said, "I don't know what to do at this point." But I said, "You are..." And I looked at her and I said, "In our time of regulating our emotions." I said, "I love you so much, but you are massively frustrating to deal with when it comes to this. Massively." I handled it, man. It was all done. Everything was done. And now it's just not what she wants. So I don't know what to do. I'm at a loss. Well, I would say you can't ever turn off your opinions about food. Either you like it or you don't. It's satisfying. It's what you want or it's not what you want. Now I think hopefully she still appreciates everything you've done. She doesn't. But she can still not really like the food. You can't really control that. She said, "I didn't feel great after I ate it that one time." See, that's not her fault. It's not my fault. No. No, it's not your fault either. But what are you supposed to just never say anything again and go? Yes. I guess I'm just going to eat. She told me that. She told me that's what she was going to do. But she didn't know that it wasn't going to be something that was going to make her feel. I'm sweating. Not great. But she told me, "I just wanted in front of me." And again, it's not like I'm feeding her like giant plates of all you were having is mac and cheese. With hot dogs cut up in it every night, then maybe there's more reason to complain. But again, you could be eating something fully healthy, but if it doesn't react well with your system, you can't just keep eating it. You have to say something. So, Maggens says, "Make some stuff ahead of time." So, I've done that. We've done the how I'm going to cook a bunch of it. And then what happens? I don't want to eat this again, DoorDash, whatever. I get these things, they come to the house and they're different. We have pork one night, chicken one night, blah, blah, blah. You told me to just handle it and get it out of the way. We use the meal prep service kind of as the catalyst to finding that solution and it worked. We did it for, I don't know, a couple of months and then we're like, "Okay, we're back on track. We can handle it now." Patrick says, "You're going to get burned out. Maybe you do five days and she does two." Yeah, I mean, the weekends are kind of a crapshoot. Whoever has their kids, you know, you handle their meals. But the weekends don't count. Monday through Friday, she wants a lunch to make. No problem. I enjoy making the kids' lunches. I actually kind of enjoy it. No problem there. I enjoy shopping for them, getting them what they want. No problem. The dinner, though. So now she goes, "Well, I would be happy just going back to eating ground beef and rice and veggies." I go, "Yeah, but those two dudes aren't going to. So now we've gone from, I've got to go buy this, cook it, and then I have to cook something for them as well. I'm back to Woodsy, the diner owner, taking short orders. I don't know what to do." I mean, what I've done, you know, in my program, my SD fatloss.com, help me, I meal prep, usually four days a week. Right. And it's the same thing, but I don't necessarily eat it all four days in a row, I may break it up with one day. So imagine, not only you doing that, then if I was single, I would look like Brad Pitt and Fight Club. I have no problem doing that. Same thing every day. I've got three other differing opinions. If you made that... Yeah, I'm only making it for myself. One is no problem, but it's the four. And so now she goes, "Well, just take me off." So I took her off. I'm like, "What are you going to eat next week? You've got no meals coming." So we'll see. And I just, holy cow, Jimmy James says, "Remind the wife she's not a princess. She can figure it out herself. That'll go really far." Try that. I will. I know. What did she take on when you took on the food? Was there a trade? She does all the laundry. There's a ton of it. With three dudes. There's a ton. I've changed outfits four times a day, probably, so she does that. And really runs the household for the most part. But the food was the one thing she wanted off the way. Maybe it would be worth it for you then to just make a little extra special meal for her. Just enjoy your nicely folded laundry. Think about that when you're putting on your four outfits a day. Jimmy James, their factor meals are so good. I look four times. I eat two of them a day. They're fantastic. Yeah, I'll get her lunchables. Damn. Pluck down some lunchables in front of her. Oh, man. Yeah, personal chef Wood's here. I don't know what to do. But she's wrong. Yeah. When she told me, "I'm right and she's wrong." That's what I want to get to the gist of. She told me. You handle it. And I won't tell you where it. I will say this. It's been two weeks. She's not on firm footing here, but you can't help. I mean, you either like food or you don't. And you can't just keep eating food that you don't like and is not sitting well with you. So at some point, you did have to say something. And I can get why it's frustrating for you, though. I'm going to pull my hair out. I know. I can see that. I'll have them off to the grocery store. Have them fantastic days. Get some Stauffer's Welsh rare bits on toast and throw on the little tomato and a bacon. Yeah. It's perfect. Really. She'll love it. She'll love it. Fantastic for Welsh rare bit day today. Yes. Speaking of the Welsh, I believe we're going to have a Welsh guest in studio. Yeah, there'll be a Welshman in here tomorrow, which will be fantastic. It's going to be a guest heavy Wednesday. Jesse Agler will join us for a little Wednesday in corporator since there's no game today. We've moved that back to tomorrow. And it's also a big league Wednesday with Adam Jones and Brett Mo. We are busy beavers scheduled to join the program tomorrow. So that will be a very busy Wednesday. That's tomorrow, though.
