I'm Brian. I work at United Health Care.
So Brian, why do you care?
I care because I don't want to leave anybody behind.
I oversee one of the biggest resource center in United Health Care.
I see people walked in in my office every day, just like my parents.
They have no idea about the health care.
I feel like they are my uncles, aunties.
I treat these people like family.
I'm Brian and I'm committed to care.

Ring Central, voice of your business.
If you're looking across different sites of their big boards,
then most of them have Ted Hurston at 90 to 120 range.
I don't think at all he gets to 90.
I'd be surprised he gets past 65 and 70.
This is a very physically impressive player.
And on tape against lower level competitions, he showcased well.
Then he goes to the senior bowl, where he really showcased well with one-on-one scenarios.
And then also in team drills, where you're asking the block and the perimeter as a big player.
Take designated touches.
He's a guy that's really taken advantage of this pre-job process.
He looks support.
He plays the part.
I think he's going to be a really nice player for wherever he lands, likely for me at least.
And the second round is where I think he's going to come off the board.
Draft analyst Ryan Fowler on Ted Hurston.
Doesn't have the good name.
Malachi Hurston.
Denzel Hurston.
Jackson Smith Hurston.
And then the good name doesn't have the good school.
Georgia State. What?
Georgia State.
There's got to be a nickname somewhere hiding in his world, his life for you.
Move off from Ted.
Go offense to Ted.
All the video I've seen of him.
It's really one video that I just keep seeing, you know,
a half a dozen different analysts commenting on.
I haven't seen anything about a nickname, so I can't help you there.
I don't know.
It's too late.
Oh, okay.
Now, I mean, after he gets drafted maybe, but now, he would just be confusing.
Is there someone else named? Is there another Hurston?
I see.
Can't change it now.
I think Yankees and Giants getting started.
Beautiful overhead shots of the Giants stadium with the Bay and all of it.
San Francisco.
Awesome place.
The Dodgers.
I watched the Dodgers last night.
Peacock.
Hmm.
You found your way.
I did.
Dodgers diamond backs.
Dodgers had the gold outline of their letters and numbers because they won the World Series and
the gold brim on their hats.
I guess I liked it.
It's just for opening.
I don't know.
Probably.
Yeah, I would think they're not.
They haven't changed their uniform.
Go, but I remember when the Royals won.
That's 2015, I think.
So that long ago, the next year, they had a gold element on their uniforms.
Maybe again, only for opening day.
But I was wondering, and I know you're not the biggest baseball fan anymore.
Neither am I, really.
But the Dodgers are one of those teams now.
They've won the last two years.
They spend way more than everybody else.
They come.
I'm Spencer and I work at United Healthcare.
So Spencer, why do you care?
I care because my daughter, Adeline, has special needs.
I am motivated by Adeline who inspires me every day.
I am driven to help families like mine navigate the healthcare system.
I'm so blessed to lead an amazing team at United Healthcare focusing on the member experience and making that better.
I'm Spencer and I'm committed to care.

A toy with baseball.
They don't have to win championships.
It's not like that's automatic.
Last year we saw how hard they got pushed and how close they were to losing.
But the regular season is mostly a formality for the Dodgers now.
But I think I might still like them.
I've not to the point yet where I hate the Dodgers.
Like the chiefs and this is a little bit being from here.
But the chiefs want a couple and it sort of seemed like everybody started to hate the chiefs.
Sick of them.
I don't know what they really did that was so annoying.
I mean, a couple of their personalities can be annoying.
But there's a lot of guys on these teams.
And they get worse too than my homes and Kelsey.
I agree.
So the chiefs though became like, you know, we would talk to people on this show from anywhere.
And that would come across.
Like we're just all sick of anybody with them kind of mentality.
Yes.
And I don't feel that way about the Dodgers.
I don't at all.
I don't know.
It might be the casual nature of my fandom at this point talking.
But I think of the Dodgers.
And I just appreciate that they still play in that ballpark.
And they look like the Dodgers.
I even made mention I know one time last year.
They were like some highlighted game on some Friday night on Apple or something.
Maybe it was a standalone game on not a common carrier.
If that makes sense.
We talk now about sports here.
Right.
And they were they were wearing some wet.
It's just not the Dodger uniform playing the Yankees.
I remember saying there should be a rule that if you're the Dodgers and you're playing the Yankees.
And it's like the, if Fox baseball night in America or whatever it would have been.
Which is not like a new standalone carrier.
Anyway, you should wear your regular stuff.
I'm in part here because it's the Dodgers and the Yankees.
And I wanted to look like the Dodgers and the Yankees because it was born in 1965.
But generally I like everything about them because it just reminds me of being a kid still.
Well, there might be a baseball difference there.
You know, specific to baseball.
I think it's their players and even their manager that just give off a friendlier vibe maybe.
I mean, certainly Otani.
I don't think it's easy.
If it's even possible to dislike Otani.
How do you dislike Otani?
We never seen anything like him.
I don't know.
And there's nothing really about him that is annoying.
I mean, he's not that he's not the most demonstrative.
He's not, you know, he's very likeable.
Unless you think like the gambling scandal was a sham or something.
I guess you could, you could hang onto that if you, you know, it might be the only thing.
Yeah, I think it, I think in my opinion it is.
I think bets is super likeable.
I love mooky bets.
I think Freeman is, you know, the picture Yamamoto last year became a star.
What do you even know about him?
Kershaw wasn't ever a problem.
Like somebody that baseball fans didn't appreciate or like he's retired now.
He was on the broadcast last night sitting next to the dugout in a suit.
I saw that.
Interesting.
I mentioned a manager.
I mean, the manager is a Red Sox folk hero for me.
So it's mooky bets for that matter.
So there is that.
I mean, yeah, Dave Roberts is, you know, responsible for one of the greatest moments in the history of the Red Sox franchise.
Not everybody would feel the same way about either any of these guys.
But for me, I mean, even, even gets a, it gets beyond those names, like the lesser stars,
Tiasco Hernandez or a few other guys.
I don't know, like they just, I think I should be at a point where I sort of,
especially being with Toronto last year, but I'm really not.
So I don't know if there's something about them that makes them immune to this kind of thing,
or if I'm just sort of on, on my own, but you're with me on this point.
I'm kind of with you.
Yeah, like they don't, they don't, I think it is the casual thing.
I mean, even though you care about Toronto, you're not living and dying on it.
Like you wanted them to win, but it's not like so, you're not bitter about it.
I don't think anyway.
And that, that is, you know, if you're way all the way in with a team,
then maybe that would be different.
But I'm really not that way about any, even the Red Sox.
I mean, I'm, I'm enjoying this sort of little rebirth going to the game last year
and following with, following them with my son, and we're going to go to a couple of games
in the summer in Pittsburgh.
And I, I like that.
It feels good to be sort of reengaged with them, but I'm not, you know,
I don't know what their lineup looks like yet.
And every time I sat down and watched them last year,
I'd be like, I don't know who that is.
Who is that?
So I, maybe I'll do better than that this year.
It's early.
This, this didn't start for me last year until I decided to go to a game,
and I was kind of playing catch up for the, you know, the back end of the summer.
Want to know, right, right?
You know, yesterday we had the Mets, and you were talking about something
in reference, like I'm not really a Mets fan anymore.
I was in the 80s pretty intensely, and then that, I grew out of it.
But this is 40 years since 86.
I know they're doing a lot with it.
Oh, yeah.
Different, like wall of fame, inductions, and an overall, like a team reunion.
They couldn't just, they will, they couldn't milk the hell out of it.
They couldn't just wait until 50.
Well, they'll probably do it again.
They'll do it again at 50, right?
Yeah.
But you know, guys pass on.
I mean, you got to do what you can do when you can do it.
This is a great spot, right?
40 years since that epic world series.
And so maybe this year, I'll get a little bit.
Like if there's a reunion, an 86 Mets reunion, and I'm home,
I'm going to want to see it.
And some of those guys are still very prominent as broadcasters,
like Hernandez and Darling.
Sure.
Yeah.
So it's not like, good and in strawberry, their stories have been told so many times.
They're not like out of the public eye altogether.
So it won't be, you know, I haven't seen this face in forever.
And I'd be quite like that.
Some of them.
We're all wondering what Rick Aguilera is doing now.
And does he still have that like magic marker beard he used to rock?
Then he ever really tightly trimmed later.
A little more than the shadow, but a beard.
Yeah, like Ryan Day.
Right.
That's when he went to the twins Aguilera and was the closer for the kids.
He got that beard off.
Maybe he felt Jeff Reardon pressure.
Right.
But with the mats, now with the mats.
Okay.
When Dave Henderson is that Homer, you can see his face.
Okay.
There's no beard.
All right.
Right.
Yeah.
We lost Gary Carter.
Right.
Yes.
Anyone else?
You know what?
I don't even really want to admit this.
But when I think about like old teams, that's one of the first things I think about
is how many of them are dead.
Yeah.
You know, sort of like because it's a, it's morbid.
I don't know why I think about that.
But it starts with how long ago it was.
Yeah.
And I can remember it.
You know, I would, I lived through it.
And you know, some of those guys, those guys would be all like in their 60s or even older.
Yeah.
Depending on who we're talking about.
And you know, life.
But I don't know about anybody else in that team.
Boston though.
It was not you and me, right?
It was at the baseball draft.
I went to in Philadelphia.
We were talking about this.
The 86 Red Sox.
Henderson is dead.
Seever was on that team is dead.
Baylor is dead.
Was on that.
You know, Buckner is dead.
I think there was someone else.
Well, the manager probably is dead.
Right?
I guess I don't know that one for sure.
It would probably be a pro McNamara.
Probably.
Yeah.
David Johnson is dead.
Trying to think who else?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm McNamara died in 2012.
I don't want to start guessing it.
Well, the reason I had said good.
That's not good radio.
Who's dead?
803.
But when I asked you, you know what I first thought I was,
Lenny Dijkstra seems like he could be dead.
But I don't think he is.
He's not.
He's incredible.
You had this incredible, this very rough around the edges is a way to put it gently.
I guess life after baseball.
Oh, my God.
Nobody's ever been more rough around the edges than nails.
And he absolutely picture in the whatever the book is that has terms.
It wouldn't be a dictionary entry, but wherever that whatever that book is,
there's Dijkstra.
Yep.
Well, I don't know if he's persona non grata or what?
Yeah.
Around for any sort of reunion stuff.
But he's also somebody that has not hidden from the public.
No sphere.
No, he's Dijkstra.
Kind of.
Yeah.
And he's stern fan knows this.
Right.
He's a little maybe his son.
Oh, my God.
Actually more than hid from it.
Incredible.
Yeah.
Mike's open the bulldog here.
The Saber's home to Patrick Kane and the Red Wings tonight.
Big game for both teams.
Maybe especially Detroit.
Now sitting two teams out in the playoff race.
We'll be back after this break here on W.
