Broadcasting from beautiful and safe, bright and Massachusetts.

Woo!

It's go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, time.

It's your cool hill, man.

The Greg Hillshow.

We're up and out of Greg, and we're about to rip.

Tick, tick, boom.

Starring, the biggest foodie on the planet.

To me, food is the most important thing.

White bread is succulent.

Greg Hill.

Doesn't happen with MacJeezus.

Like, you may not get on.

Or even in the NBA with Mick LeBron.

Yeah.

LeBron.

Oh, same factor.

Same factor, right?

Featuring the parlay, playboy himself.

This tickles my fan, does that map make math?

I did not know that.

Wiki, maybe that's just something that gets very itchy.

And he says, you know what?

I want to go back to coaching.

Joined by Boston's number one linguist.

Criminal mischief and arson?

Have become this kind of tangy, peat-booty geek.

Cornie Cox.

Not the riff rap.

All right.

The crazy kids.

But also, I don't, I'm not on, like, I'm on.

You two set the other, you're the riff rap.

The other day, like, all these 16-year-olds are purking.

Oh, I heard it everywhere.

I felt like I was like, go home, do your laundry.

And a company buy two big brains behind the glass.

Who puts Salmanella with your yams?

I'm on Steinmeier.

Talk to me, daddy.

You're both morons.

I heard his sand shine.

The sense of a turn, I must stay on the moon.

She listens like spring, and she talks like June.

Hey, hey, hey.

Now, let's get down to business.

It's time to party.

It's time for the Greg Hill morning show.

Good morning.

Good hello, morning.

Morning, everybody.

Hello, good morning.

Morning, everyone.

Morning.

Good morning, my neighbor.

On Boston, sports are original.

W-E-E-I, by my people.

W-E-E-E-I.

When I say Greg Hill, and you say show, Greg Hill.

Greg Hill.

Oh, Greg Hill.

Show.

All right.

Let's go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, time.

Let the games ring in.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Take, take, boom.

What's going on, everybody?

Hello, hello.

What up, what up, what up?

Wow.

That voice you hear, that female voice you hear is not the voice of Courtney Cox.

It is the voice of mego.

Or as we have been calling it mego for the prego.

Oh, and I'm subbing in.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

It's got a ring.

Yes.

Are you happy about being up at this time in the morning or are you doing this?

Yes.

Doing this under direct.

No.

I'm like a bug.

I'm a little overwhelmed, though, because there's a singing sensation behind the glass.

Oh, please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And don't start this.

I'm like in the presence of this talent.

Shyman, I do shows together on Saturday, and I didn't know that he had that in him.

He's good, isn't he?

It was karaoke, and it was one song that he's done a thousand times.

Drops a Jupiter.

Minimum a thousand.

He's very good at that.

As the guy that goes to Springsteen concerts, and here's born to run for the five billion

times.

That's true.

That is accurate.

So he did.

Shyman did a good job yesterday.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

And we are delighted to have you here.

Thank you.

And I think it was either Curtis or Wiggy on the show yesterday who said America never

loses at anything.

And so, but I got to tell you some great baseball game, honestly, for it to finish like

that, disappointing for Team USA and for those of us that were watching.

But I actually said anything we actually tried to win.

So of crochet and everybody that was with their home club or scoobles, frutals, frutals.

Yeah.

I think the Americans beat Venezuela.

And we just gave Venezuela a pretty big assist.

You know, we're moved to dictator.

They should be a little grateful.

Yeah.

You're right about that.

I mean, it was one of those games where baseball might be the only sport because I felt like

going into as I was talking as somebody that showed up at the Dublin or yesterday, I was

like, the Dominican should dominate this one because when you look at their lineup, you're

like, God damn, but, you know, it is baseball.

So it hits.

I mean, I have the Dominican been in it than maybe I'm saying, but I mean, maybe they would

have.

But going into it.

I was going into it.

But going into it, weren't you like the Americans are the best team?

They should have won the whole thing.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean, I was, I didn't go into it predisposed as the, if I were going to guess at somebody

other than the US, I'd probably would have guessed that Japan, that winning the whole thing.

But, you know, when it comes to the Red Sox, certainly there are guys that played not only

for the team USA, but in the case of will you're a brand new, played very well for Venezuela,

had a, had a key home run last night.

And so, you know, Garrett Whitlock probably, he gets the loss last night, probably, probably

not so happy this morning, but Roman Anthony set himself apart during the world baseball

classic.

So I think overall it was, it was excellent, it was really, really good.

I think it was positive for the Red Sox to generate like some hype about the different

players for this season.

But to Curtis's point, like, it's just such a flawed tournament because, and I don't

know how you fix it because you can't have pictures, really ramped up for it.

And then there's not really another point in the calendar that you can move it to unless

you like really condensed it into whatever, like it takes to get into the tournament.

You'd have to crush it down so much that you do it during the all-star break.

And then you would have guys choosing between all-star and world baseball classic.

I think for the way that the game works, it just doesn't like really make sense.

That's why I think it's never going to take off, like, four nations down or something.

Right.

Can't you just get rid of the all-star game?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But home run Derby's like one of the only things that in professional sports that people

still care about.

But do they really?

No.

Kind of.

No, it was the last time.

Could be compared to the other all-star games, which I just said to you.

Yeah.

When Shohei was in it a couple of years ago, I think that was the excitement.

I was 1999.

I was there at Fenway.

That was the last time.

Yeah.

I don't think anybody gives a rats a about the home run Derby anymore.

It's like the duck contest.

No one cares.

But Curtis made a good point.

What you do is you play like a lot of those, how do you say that word, preliminary rounds

and spring training.

And then when you get to all-star break, then maybe you only have like the semi-finals

and finals.

But there's a way you can potentially do it that way.

But isn't part of like the preliminary rounds, that would take you away from your club from

MLB, right?

Right.

Yeah, but you would do a third spring training.

So guys could do it the way they're doing it now.

But then when you actually got to all-star break, you wouldn't have to condense it so much

because it would only be like maybe the final four teams would be there.

Well, Mark Derosa, who finally I think has his ass together, said after that game last

night that it ought to happen during the season.

And it was mostly because of pitching and basically you got to have guys who are going to

pitch for their country who are warmed up and ready to go.

And it's at some point other than now during spring.

And the semi-final against the Dominican Republic, the United States, when got 7.4 million

viewers.

And so the four nations championship had 16 million in Canada and the US, but average

9.3 million in the US.

So this is going to do, in my opinion, well better than 9.3 if the semi-final did almost

7.5 million.

So it is a massive win for baseball to have it like that.

And the best part about people finally engaging with it is that there will be an opportunity

for people to be heard.

The next time it comes around to make it better.

Yeah.

Again, I think it's just like a little bit flawed.

Right.

And I do think it's funny.

And I tell you about like, well, if we had the pitching, we're overall, I do think the

tournament would be improved by pitching.

Yeah.

And if I'm like the kid from the Metz who was on the mound last night, I was like, oh,

so it's my fault.

You guys got three hits.

Right.

Like, I don't think so.

Right.

No.

No.

And it's a little bit sour, gripping like I totally understand that.

Also, the US had a day off, then as well it did not.

Like there's really no griping on it.

They just could not until Bryce Harper hit that, that to run bomb, they, they could not

hit the baseball.

Right.

So you sound like the Canadians now after they lost in the Olympics.

Well, it's, you know, we shouldn't be playing the three on three rules.

It's completely different.

So, you know, that's what you sound like.

All right.

Well, anyway, United States does not win the World Baseball Classic.

And we will talk about that with you all day long here on this show.

Let me go in this morning.

We got a bunch to get to.

Is there something wrong with the app this morning, Sean?

I'm getting a bunch of text messages is the Odyssey app down?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe it is.

Can you call Len Laird and see if you can wake him up from the slumber?

Probably very upset about the result of last night's game.

So may, may not, may not be answering the phone at this point, but we will endeavor if there's

an issue with the Odyssey app and you have been forced to listen on the radio or forced

to watch this show on Twitter, YouTube will endeavor to fix that for you at some point

on this morning's show.

Our leads coming up in about 10 minutes or so, they said it at 720 this morning.

And what Paul Schien said, it meant to him to wear the jersey of the U.S. of A among

other things when we get to, they said it at 720 on this morning's show.

The news at 745, is that Shime or is that mega, oh, Shime is pointing next woman up.

So maybe you don't mind handling the news for us.

Step into the spotlight for a moment.

I'll do that for Shime.

And no baby news, right?

And nobody's heard.

I heard.

I got to tell you, I was I was shook.

The honest text from Courtney, this is guys won't understand that you talked about a membrane

thing.

Of course, I don't understand that.

It was too much information thing.

She shared with us that she went and got and she at the end of it, I think she said share

it on the show.

So I have no problem sharing it.

But she went and got her membrane, membrane swept, I think, it's the firm, it's the

thing.

To help speed up the process, I believe she said, I hope that's what it's for.

I don't I don't think it's for anything else.

I would assume it is to speed the process of no clue.

As a woman, I don't know where where the membrane is.

I don't know.

But one can only guess.

Yeah.

I mean, can I read the exact text?

Don't worry about it.

In college, Curtis didn't know where it was either.

Why stop it in college?

What is it?

I love what Michael Scott in Not Michael Scott with Steve Crowell and 40-old Virgin

goes, is it true if you don't use it, you lose it?

I felt like sandbags.

Bag of sand.

Close enough, links.

Update that men will not understand, but will be funny for show.

I got a membrane sweep to kick things into high gear.

I'm three to five centimeters dilated and fully afaced.

Enjoy looking up what that means, the visuals that go along with it.

Don't know what fully afaced means, but I'm going to say Patrick's Day a lot of people

were.

Yeah, wow, yeah.

The corner was by the end of our show yesterday, the double winner, fully afaced.

But yes, I think it could happen today.

It should happen today.

But there's certain things that the old wives' tails, I'm sure she's trying that you can

do to jumpstart it.

Yeah.

Is it one of them like chugging a beer?

I don't know about that.

I remember I had one friend who is like almost a week over two and she just went to

do at the time beacon hoe pub and was like chugging a beer because she was like, first

of all, this thing, this, this baby's fully cooked.

Right.

Let's go and and she was do at MGH.

So she was like, oh, she was going to be.

So she was like, let's get it rolling.

This is supposed to help.

Did it work?

I mean, this was years ago, the baby eventually showed up and is very healthy kid now.

Well, they, she, Courtney got a lot of tips on what she could do and none of them work.

She pretty much tried them all, you know, maybe chugging a beer.

She's listening to something she can do.

Maybe.

All right.

Well, we, we will share baby news when, and if we get the baby news.

But to get us started this morning, here is Shime and what is trending this first hour.

Now here's what's trending on WWE I trending now, brought to you by Shaw's, the, uh, the

Bruins dropped another one last night as the Canadians get the win in over time, three

to two.

Pavel Zaka had two goals in the game for the bees.

They welcomed him in the Winnipeg Jets tomorrow night.

The Celtics welcomed him in the Golden State Warriors tonight, who will be without Steph Curry

dip up is at seven.

The Red Sox beat the Braves yesterday afternoon, four to three.

Sox Spring training continues today as they head to Tampa to take on the Yankees.

First pitch is at 105 on WEEI AM850, the Odyssey app, and across the Shaw's and Star

Market WEEI, Red Sox Network, Shaw's proud to be local since 1860.

I'm pretty sure Greg, even if Ken's not fixing the Odyssey app right now, he'll make

sure it's up and running before that Sox game kicks off at 105.

I'm sure he will, yeah.

Over the World Baseball Classic, we've been talking about it a little bit this morning.

The USA Hot Striek has officially come to an end, Venezuela beat the United States three

to last night, to claim the WBC title.

And we've got some more NFL news, teams not named for the Patriots continue to make

splashes as the Denver Broncos traded for the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, Jalen Waddle

yesterday.

The Broncos sent a first, third and fourth round pick for Waddle and Miami's fourth round

pick.

So Sean Payton knows they were close and so they're going to do a big standing impact

there.

Yes they are.

What's going on?

Make sure you scratch it.

Let's take door podcasts.

Let's show Steve.

All right, torque minute time here on Joseph Keef's WEI, great point by Dan O on the

text line.

Dan O.

Yeah.

Chicago.

Maybe Twitter went down due to all the votes coming into our bracket.

That's got to be it.

We broke Twitter.

If we didn't break it with all our viral tweets with our tears right around the Superbowl,

I'm not surprised.

This probably did it.

If anything was going to do it, it was corn V lipiskin.

So I get while we're here, if anything was going to, yeah, just absolutely snap it into

lipiskin.

It already broke your brain because everyone's trying to vote for both at the same time.

And if you try to hit both, it just breaks Twitter.

So that's where we're at.

That makes it.

Right now.

The latest Dork podcast is we did an Oscars recap and then coming out tonight is going

to be Ted season two.

I'm telling you, it's one of the funniest shows of the last 10 years.

Yeah.

I got to, I really got to get on it because you're like, it's, it's so good.

Eight episode seasons and half hour episodes and you three won't stop buzzing about it.

I should get in on that.

I think, I guess I don't know why I haven't.

I mentioned this on the big show.

I think that there are three shows that stand out, maybe the last 10 years.

Comedy-wise.

As the funniest shows.

Okay.

Is always sunny still on that list?

Are you talking about newer shows?

Ah, I think they've had some seasons where they belong on this list, some seasons where

they have not.

Okay.

Like laugh out loud crying, laughing for me would be tires.

I think you should leave sort of a different type of show.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I really like the chair company.

You put it up there with those other shows.

Yeah.

Wow.

It's that funny.

Like it's, maybe I'm overselling it right now.

But it's that funny.

Well, I mean, the way that the three of you talk about it, it sounds pretty good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's all down there.

It's favorite movie.

He must love it.

Oscar ratings are in.

They came out of the variety.

He had a story is 17.9 million viewers down 9% from last year and the lowest since 2022.

Man.

I'm surprised by it because this year felt like the movies that were nominated people

had seen.

Like last year, it came down to like, Anora and the brutalist.

Nobody else had like being naked seen those movies.

That's a great point.

You'd think it would be a big bounce back.

I thought so.

I thought so.

Even popcorn Jones has seen some movies this year.

You think I saw any of those movies last year or hell though?

It was like a cool group of like, it was like, Leonardo Caprio was there in like Michael

Be Jordan.

Who was the host of the year ago?

Both Conan.

So they were.

Okay.

So that's neutral.

Both Conan.

That is surprising.

I don't really know why I was down.

Look, if you know what I always say, ratings can be very misleading.

And so, you know, you know, at the end of the day, who really cares if you enjoy the show,

you enjoy the show.

Rating can be quite misleading.

It doesn't always mean it's the best show.

No, I would say oftentimes it's not.

Yeah.

However, ABC does what a lot of places will do.

They reported that the social impressions were up 42 percent.

That's a good angle.

Well, this is the Leo meme that they tried to make.

Okay.

It's a good angle.

Anyway, they were also like, the impressions.

Yeah, but I think more people are interested in some of the acceptance speeches this year

than they were last year.

They said they had more than 129 million video views throughout the night.

So like, they would post clips from them, okay, because I was going to say a lot of those

also might be them screwing up, playing musical people or talking, turning off lights, which

was also hilarious.

No, no, no.

I think they're talking about their stuff.

Exactly.

And I'm sure it's even more from everybody like pulling clips of, you know, some of the

bits that didn't really work very well like standing there like deer in the headlights.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

That's stuff.

But I mean, so it's like how do people consume it?

Maybe less people watch it on TV, but more people actually saw the product.

Okay.

I don't look at it that way.

I thought it was a decent show.

I think it was like laugh out loud, funny.

I think Conan didn't really, Conan's a good host because I think almost everybody likes

him.

But even the people in the crowd like him.

So it's not like Ricky Gervais where he's coming out and he's like, you guys all think

you're better than you are.

You're a joke.

He'll make jokes, but he's not going for the jugular.

No, no, not at all.

And look, I thought, I thought his little like opening montage was pretty good on that

from what I saw.

You want more of it than I did.

From what I saw, I thought it was pretty schmet.

Yeah.

Him.

Yeah.

I thought it was just fine.

Not bad, but just schmet.

No, they were also correct me for wrong going up against the Dominican Republic Team

USA game, correct, which was probably not ideal for them because that's once every four

years.

Normally you'd have a real open spot because you had the selection show, but the selection

show is old.

The selection show was earlier, but that was the same day and World Baseball Classic was

that day.

So yeah, maybe that maybe that did cut into it.

That's true.

And also the last couple of years, they've been doing like seven o'clock to like 1030 where

it feel like eight to 1130.

It's also probably a better.

Yeah.

Maybe you bump back and get a little more West Coast.

Two massive trailers have come out one yesterday, one this morning.

One part three, which comes out December 18th, you have to watch these dunes.

Okay.

Well, Nick is like, you've never seen Dune two, right?

I'm halfway through Dune two.

There's a lot of movies.

Okay.

Now this is not a ringing endorsement for.

Yeah.

Because I keep watching after stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like me watching rewatching sopranos, which I finally got over just power through.

It's been able watching Dune two for days.

That's not that's not the spirit of the movie.

You're not supposed to watch this movie in like 13 parts.

You're supposed to sit down and pose along movies.

The two of you watch everything, you come in and you're like, oh, I watch three movies

last night.

You can't get through Dune.

That's not a ringing endorsement.

It's all I'm saying.

But okay.

Dune, part three, trailer looks amazing.

Okay.

This comes out not until December.

But we'll taste nice.

Could be movie of the year.

So I got time to get through the next two.

July, unless I watch them at the right Nickwatch.

Some of that.

They start down.

Yeah.

Spider-Man brand new day trailer this morning.

This movie comes out July 31st and this is another one.

Some would say Marvel's back.

Others would say never left.

It looks really good.

Punisher John Burnthall's in it.

Yeah.

It did dip for a bit.

I'll be honest.

It did dip for a bit.

Yeah, man.

On the Wasp.

Was that what did it?

That one actually wasn't that bad.

There were various turtles.

Oh, it turtles did it.

Okay.

Even Captain America last year was a bad movie.

Paradise and DTF St. Louis as far as shows that are going on right now.

This DTF St. Louis, I don't know.

I'm interested.

I want to see what happens.

It's only going to be seven episodes.

We watched the first three or out.

Yeah.

That's okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, who done it?

Which I like.

Who done it will keep me focused.

Yeah.

Well, you got to find out.

Yeah.

Who done it?

That makes sense.

All right.

So I was telling you the two movies I'm going to try to see this weekend.

Oh, yeah.

Project Hail Mary.

Okay.

Ryan Gosling.

Yep.

Looks like a wild time.

And Ready or not, too.

Okay.

Fun horror movie.

That's all.

Oh, right.

Oh, you were telling me about this because I asked.

I'm like, Ready or not.

What is that?

Yeah.

So it's a horror movie.

Yeah.

And I probably won't see that.

I'm big on both of those.

I'm going to go.

She's going to say no.

Are you going with Davey?

No.

Okay.

So good.

Yeah.

You keep your story separate.

Right.

So I'm going to this movie.

Okay.

It's one.

I'm just going to go see one.

I love my family.

I love you.

Yep.

I'm going to go with that.

Car troubles.

Could you hit her with car troubles?

I don't want to even jinx it.

Because then I will probably subsequently get car troubles.

If it isn't that worth it, you saw two movies at this point in time.

Yeah, but then I'm stuck on the highway.

Like, what about expensive movie at that point?

Yeah.

I'm getting a toe.

I'll figure out.

I'll figure something out.

Okay.

All right.

Quit pro quo.

One of the kids to Project Hail Mary.

So you split it.

Yeah.

It's PG 13.

I'm sure they can watch it.

Okay.

Then how do you watch the second one?

Well, then he gets bigger.

Right or not to watch the whole movie.

Send C.C. to Hoppers.

He's going to see Hoppers.

Yeah.

I'll beat you back right here.

He's in Hoppers.

That's the way to do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Get your popcorn.

It'll be fine.

You can't do that with kids.

Yeah.

You see how Hoppers was.

Yeah.

You can't do that.

I don't think so.

No, people take kids now.

You can't do that.

I mean, I guess they did then too.

But nobody really cares.

People were taking kids then.

Yeah.

Snatchers.

Yeah.

Do you want to take a guess?

Yeah.

In the dark minute.

Oh, my goodness.

Yes, I did.

Top on.

Let's go to Montreal.

I didn't realize that.

It's not curly and busted.

It's Tony Marinero.

Tony, what's on your mind today?

Tony.

You, hey, you guys.

The program director must be your best friend in the world.

This is unbelievable.

I've been on hold for 30 minutes.

8,000 ads.

46 sponsors.

The DMV.

Pizza Hut.

The Oscars.

The traffic.

The airport.

The movies.

Unbelievable.

You guys have the best job in the world.

Oh, we do.

That's great.

That is true, Tony.

It's a star.

You know that.

I'm moving the Boston.

I am moving that we got to do sports radio together, guys.

Okay.

This is unbelievable.

Are you embarrassed by your hockey team?

Is that why you're moving here?

What are you doing?

Yeah.

I'm not even embarrassed by your baseball team.

You lost to Italians.

Oh, we know how to make this job.

No, they're American.

No, I.

Wait, hang on.

I am embarrassed by the baseball team.

Yes, I know.

I am.

I didn't hear your answer about your hockey team.

Which hockey team?

The much rock today is that you're hockey team.

The Boston Bruins.

No.

No.

You know, the men's or the women's Olympic team.

Yeah.

The two women's either one.

Radio station.

W.E.

High in Boston.

You guys are talking about the Bruins.

We're supposed to be talking about the.

I've been on hold.

We did.

We did talking about the Bruins.

We talked about the Bruins.

What?

We made fun of Marco Storm for saying it's.

It's.

It's no big deal.

No, we don't want the game.

We talked about it.

I still haven't heard your answer about Canada.

Did you answer that or no?

Yeah.

What was that thing?

I am holding on.

One the game.

Yeah.

Who should have won the game?

That's what Marco Storm said.

The Bruins.

That's what he said.

Yeah.

We already yelled at him about that.

Even though he's very sexy when he talks about it.

The high dangerous scoring chances that the Canadians had.

And if it wasn't for Swaman, the Canadians would have won by five.

I'm going to ask you one more time.

Have you said anything about Team Canada or no?

He's fast.

I haven't even heard it.

Yeah.

Yes.

It hurts.

The loss in the Olympics.

It hurts.

Thank God.

Were you there?

Were you there?

I saw it.

I was there.

I was there.

I was there.

I was there.

You were at the church.

You did your part.

You were showing up.

I was there.

I showed up.

I tried to support.

I tried to encourage.

I even shook hands with Keith Kitchuk.

Mr. Hughes.

That was nice.

It was good sport.

I'm devastated.

This is going to be a long time.

I haven't stopped crying yet.

It hurts.

Yeah.

Quite a lot.

Yeah.

I don't think so.

Macklin Celebrity, Matthew Schaefer, we bring them to everyone else can stay home when

we want.

You brought Celebrity.

Yeah, but yeah, yeah.

It's a 19 year old kid.

Yeah.

He's 23.

You look good.

He's good.

Yeah.

How about Matthew Schaefer?

Matthew Schaefer is in the discussion for the heart trophy, by the way.

And he's a rookie.

He's unbelievable.

Listen, I'm going to tell you something.

Okay.

I tell.

I hated losing tonight's states.

As a matter of fact, it made me sick.

It made me sick to my stomach.

It bothered me.

I still can't get over.

I'm devastated.

If I die tomorrow, I'm not dying happy, okay?

But I'm going to tell you something.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'm going to tell you something.

It wouldn't be a rivalry if Canada wins all the time.

It's the greatest thing that can happen to our game.

No, I wouldn't be a rivalry.

It is not fair.

It is.

It is totally fair.

It is now a rivalry.

We said something very similar here.

Here's where we can all agree.

We can all agree.

It's now a rivalry.

You're on the wrong side of it.

I don't see you winning again anytime soon.

But it is now a rivalry.

I do agree with that.

I think we can agree on that.

It's on a second.

If you guys were so good, and this team was so great, and we can all agree that with the

exception of the first six, seven minutes of the game, Canada dominated the United States.

Yeah.

Besides in the final course.

What makes you so optimistic going forward?

Well, I mean, if Connor had that first one, he was in the rear reincarnation of Jim

Craig back in 1980.

Yeah.

How about the goal?

How about the goal?

Does Canada have any goalies?

Yeah.

Right.

Does the goal tending not count?

The goal tending doesn't count.

Does anybody play goalie and you hockey up there?

Okay.

Well, you don't seem to be counting it.

You said they dominated the game.

Hellabuck dominated you.

What are you talking about?

He did dominate.

Yes.

Okay.

Cindy Crosby's there.

I think they would have won.

Okay.

They would have won.

Well, I think if the U.S.

I think if the U.S.

If the U.S.

had Kachuk and McAvoy, we would have won the four nations.

Like, I can play that game all day.

Who?

Matthew Kachuk and McAvoy.

The United States.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Okay.

Then again, they got goalie too.

I'll give you that.

I'll give you that.

Speaking of Kachuk, they got a pretty good podcast.

Why weren't there on the ice in the overtime?

I don't know.

They were good.

Oh, they were good teammates, I guess.

So they have a podcast?

I haven't heard it.

Tony.

Tony will have to check that out.

Good stuff.

Thank you, Tony.

Yeah.

But you know what?

I like the show.

I like the show guys.

How about the Italians beating the Americans in baseball, huh?

That was good.

I was.

The Bush didn't beat the ball.

That is way out.

I mean, look.

That's the baseball.

I am embarrassed by that.

I am.

We should have won that tournament.

I'm embarrassed because we should have all the sports.

I agree.

We should.

We should win ever it's a mistake that they didn't.

That's a failure on their end.

They shouldn't have lost to the Italian Americans.

We did.

We finally got an answer out of them.

Yeah.

Did he dies tomorrow?

No one's rooting for them.

No, let's hope that's not the case.

I mean, I don't need you to be doing, you know, bad takes in the sky.

But there'd be a sad death in many ways.

death in many ways, but yeah, but if you, if you died tomorrow, you'd die, not happy,

which he finally answered the question, which is good.

Okay.

Do you think Montreal or the Bruins make it out of the first round of the playoffs this

year?

No.

Yeah.

I don't think that's going to happen.

They're both going to get bounced pretty quick.

Okay.

But anyway, glad you could check in.

You listen to the whole talk, man.

It doesn't sound like he has many commercials.

Yeah.

He's working at it.

Yeah.

He's just doing a weird job.

Yeah.

I like, would you rather and really like Stork?

That's good.

That's good stuff.

Great stuff.

All right.

I don't know if Tony realizes we jumped him right to the front line.

We did skip him.

With Andy Hart, Nick Fitsy-Sevens, and three-time Super Bowl Champion Ted Johnson on W-E-E-I.

You heard it right there, and at least one member of W-E-I afternoons was happy, predictable.

Predictable that you don't have your Venezuelan jersey on, you fraud?

That was your team.

I mean, it's even perfection.

You were rooting for Venezuela.

You were rooting for Willier Abreu.

He hits a homerun.

They win.

Where's your red, white, and blue bandana today, fraud, Fitsy?

Pull the tapes.

I asked the question that was suggested by a friend.

Does a Red Sox fan lose if Venezuela wins?

If that Red Sox fan loves America, the answer is, yes, a crippling, emotionally debilitating

fashion.

I don't know.

I'm not going- I'll be honest.

I'm not going to be over that game for a while.

I would also say that what a change in theme from the spring, huh?

You guys have been watching the WBC?

Red Sox players are all awesome.

They're carrying every team they're on.

W-W-W-W-W-W.

Whitlock dominant, not so much.

Roman Anthony MVP, not so much.

Strikeout, run a loud game over.

Red Sox, excuse me, Team USA loses.

But who came through?

Four, Venezuela.

He's back to the damn Venezuelan thing.

Is well, you're bringing a plate for Red Sox.

You were a slaughterer, Red Sox.

Jesus, for helping you win the title,

then go to Venezuela.

Did you see the videos, by the way,

of the way Caracas responded,

like there was this one great shot,

this guy was like, wait,

I don't even know if we have it, perhaps?

No, I think Stiz has a description of where it took place.

He was teaching me Venezuelan words in the back office.

I don't know if he can say all of them on the air,

but they don't speak Portuguese in Venezuela in Spanish, right?

I don't believe so,

but I know the video you're talking about

and this is why we lost Nick.

What, no, that was it.

That was why he's done with a statement.

He expected you to pick up the ball from there and run with it.

This is a fact, not even a back to you or a back to you, Nick.

Okay, thank you.

Yeah, that place went wild.

Like the fact that it mattered so much to them,

the fact that that will mean,

that will be forever for them.

I mean, that's awesome.

Well, good, terrific.

I'm so happy for Venezuela.

And yes, I too am keenly aware of the irony of the United States invading Venezuela

and now Venezuela getting the dub against the United States.

Great.

Super terrific.

It still doesn't change the fact that I was heartbroken for Whitlock that I felt terribly

for Roman Anthony and Mark Derosa is a certified grade a boob.

That is all true.

Yes, damn ball.

Don't worry.

Mark Derosa was up late last night.

Cups a coffee figuring out his line of changes for game two.

Oh, is it a best to play well played?

Well, but wait, we're done.

Then Venezuela celebrated preemptively.

Obviously, we're done.

No, if they had had Mark Derosa, they would have celebrated.

But they knew the rules.

They knew that the actual championship was one.

Let's just straight get into it.

When Gunner Henderson is hitting as well as he is, regardless of Alex Braggman's stature

and advice to Roman Anthony and championship high leverage playoff experience.

Why is he batting?

Why is he starting?

And why is Gunner Henderson waiting to come off the bench?

When Pete Crow Armstrong almost single-handedly brought you back into the game against Italy,

why is he sitting and Byron Bukston, who was a complete sieve in the lineup, starting?

What an absolute ass clown Derosa was as a manager.

I mean, it's quite clear.

The guy who's giddy that they allowed him to be in the clubhouse and drink beers with

him and go to the buffet line and do all these things is clearly going to put in the

Braggmans of the world.

He's clearly going to bow down to the old guard, the stars.

They've earned this.

And I will say, I mean, fewer is bad as Harper until last night.

So it actually paid off with with Bryce Harder.

But did he come through?

He came through.

Now Braggman did not.

Now on the other hand, Braggman is not batting his weight.

That would be 143 his average.

That's one hit in every seven of that.

But I also, I don't know that there's anyone we can pinpoint.

Stinks.

This offense was billed to me as like historically good.

One of the greatest lineups ever assembled.

Well, these things.

Swarber looked 70 likes barely scored runs for the second half of the tournament.

Yeah.

They're pitching was good.

But like, Venezuela put up eight on Japan.

Venezuela put up what five or six the other night against Italy.

They came through with more runs than you last night.

This offense looked disconnected.

It looked like everybody was trying to hit a three or four or five run home run, which

is mathematically impossible.

There was no, there was no synergy, cohesiveness, togetherness, energy.

Passion.

None.

I know you wanted to tell me the passion they were feeling.

And I would argue, yes, there was an increased passion from spring training, obviously,

for the team, USC team.

Maybe you could even argue there was increased passion from most regular season games.

But their passion fell short compared to the teams they were playing against.

There was more passion in the other dugout, virtually every game.

And I get it.

Lou told us yesterday, it's it's life or death for Japan and DR and Venezuela, speaking

of Venezuela.

You did get a 207 FU fits.

He goes ship yourself to Venezuela.

Yeah.

Well, I'll be running for it.

I'll be running for president next fall.

You might get you got a shot.

I got a shot.

Actually, there is a vacancy.

I've heard.

All right.

Sir Robert over on the Twitch line, Andy, Twitch.tv slash Boston W.E.I.

It will be old news here.

And this is the difference between how it matters.

It'll be old news here in a week tops.

Venezuela will probably have a parade that lasts a month.

No lies detected.

Good.

It should matter.

The police, Bryce Harper woke up, looked at his dugout, sent the bat to the moon and

then around took his sweet ass time going around the bases and was stopped at third base

and started to walk legit stopped on the left hand turn and started to I enjoyed it.

I thought it was great.

Now, if somebody else had done virtually anything, it would have been nice.

Okay.

You should have had the golden.

Remember, they wanted to do the golden hitter.

I got to be careful here because I want to say golden and people have certain thoughts

in there.

Remember, there was this talk of like a crazy golden hitter rule where you could bat anybody

at any time in any game.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

That was they talked about that in baseball.

Yeah.

You could stop somebody in out of nowhere.

Like this team was so bad, I guess it would have been Harper last night, would have been

your golden hitter.

If you could have brought anybody to the plate, Roman Anthony probably would have been in consideration

because he had a nice tournament overall.

Certainly wasn't Aaron judge.

That's for sure.

I know we're going to be the guy you lost to in the playout.

Wait, what?

On that later in the show, but it cannot be stated enough in the, in one of the top five

biggest games of your life.

What do you do?

What do you do last night?

Three strikeouts in a ground out?

I just laughed.

That's typical Boston sports radio.

Your reliever blows the game.

Your batter strikes out to end the game.

Aaron judge, you see him strike out.

Let's deflect a little.

There's zero deflection.

When you are arguably the best right handed hitter in baseball, when you built, when you

are the captain of the team, when you're the best, best pure home run hitter in baseball,

and then the ultimate game with parts of, if not the world watching.

What does he do?

He went over four with three strikeouts.

Yeah.

And on the last one, 22 might be another guy not bad his way because he's a big dude.

So I'm guessing he's over 22.

I'm pretty sure.

I wonder how many, that was probably an exercise.

How many Americans batted their weight in the world baseball championship?

It's a short list.

Dan ball.

No, it's an exercise.

Not a good one, but it's an exercise.

This isn't quite to Dan and Dave.

Remember, Dan and Dave, you don't, sorry, Dan ball, shut your mic off.

I'll go to 15, 1996 Reebok campaign.

Dan and Dave, they were the next big thing.

They built an entire campaign around it.

This isn't quite to that dramatic of, they did make the championship game and they did

have some fun along the way, but like, a historically good lineup, historically good

offense.

Let's see, let's look at the hit column next to all the zero to zero, zero, zero, zero,

zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, oh, one, zero, zero.

That's last night.

Three hits.

Three hits to my heart for the guy who sucked most of the tournament and decided last night

he was going to show up and show up and show up and showed up and not enough, not

enough.

So this is where it gets interesting.

How much people care?

And I agree with, I don't know who you said, said it on the twitch, we will move on,

but some people won't.

I think there's some in New York today and we may hear from some influential voices

formally out of New York that are going to hold this against judge that are probably

some people in Boston that are worried is Whitlock tanked.

Has he, is this, is he already worn down for the, er, derosa fun here?

They overfished.

How come Miller doesn't have to pitch, but our guy has to pitch.

Actually, there is something admirable about the fact that when called upon, Whitlock said,

sure, I'll go in for the third straight game, whereas Mason Miller's manager, if I'm

not mistaken, or the GM of the, he pitches for the diamond act now, correct?

Who?

Mason Miller.

The podress.

Podress.

Okay.

That's right.

He was straight to the podress.

The podress general manager said, you can only use Mason Miller if you have the lead in

the night.

He was going to come in if they got a lead in the night.

Cool.

Wait, the game would have been over if they got a lead in the night.

Wait, where was, where was, where was press box, where was press bots call coming in on

the way?

Yeah.

And so, same thing with Polensia, the kid that came in for the save of Venezuela, the

Cubs said, only if we're in a save situation, could he use it?

And with a save situation, and he came in and pitched his ass off on belief, gross.

But when Whitlock gets shut down in June or is on the IEL in August, I want to harken

back to this.

Maybe there's not a direct line connection, but I tend to think that this is a bad, we

talked about it yesterday.

The pitching is just a mess in this.

I do really actually think if you're on to do this, you might need to consider a, a

pitching machine and you just have this be an offensive display.

Let's also go ahead.

You get the best pitchers don't want a pitch.

You got the guys like, if they do want a pitch, their team doesn't want them to pitch

because they're worried that they do want a pitch and they're going to put it on the

line too early.

Like, it's a mess.

Yeah.

It is a complete mess.

They had an innings, they had a pitch cap on skeens the other night, but he didn't

want to come out when he started the semifinal.

Yeah, they all by the way.

It's saving from himself.

Dan, I'm sorry.

I apologize.

The last name of Nolan blank, the guy that started for the Mets.

Nolan McLean.

Nolan McLean.

The future of baseball in, in, in, in Queens, he's the, no, no, he's not.

He, like, I know he's supposed to be might be an ace, but like two starts, well, he got

whacked, two starts in a row.

It's also, um, to me, and I know Roman Anthony would probably be similar, but like, your

lineup is judge, Harper, like, Braggman, whatever, Bobby Witt, like the best of the best.

And then you're like, that's the best picture we can send to the mound in a championship.

And it isn't.

Joe Ryan.

Where's Joe Ryan?

Where's school?

Where's crochet?

Where's any names you want to pick?

You had skeens.

Skeens is in that world.

That conversation.

He was the E.R. leader and based E.R.

A leader.

But other than that, it's like, they're telling you, this is hard to do.

We can't put our, like Eduardo Rodriguez, love him, mean it, but he's no longer a top

echelon major league.

Well, he was never a top echelon major league pitcher, but he's not even an ascending

talent like starter.

He's just a guy.

So how the hell did he blank them for five innings last night?

Cause they blank and blank themselves, like I was watching this like blanks.

He has a lot of blanks.

That's exactly what they were firing last night.

I couldn't believe that he looked better than he had looked since like 2021 E.R.

They were just the energy.

I go back to all of it.

Stiz, I think you're right.

I think I think we have some Suarez audio here, Stiz, his post game interview after the

game winning hit here.

To me, this, if you just bottle this up, this is what the USA needed to spritz all over

themselves, but we'll never have.

I mean, what can I say about this?

It's amazing.

God is good.

All the glory is for Lord Jesus, he was with us the whole time.

We have to glorify.

Well, he's named me from everything and nobody believe in Venezuela, but now we win

the championship.

Jesus, wait, Jesus was, was pulling for, for Venezuela.

You didn't get the alert.

I didn't anybody tell me that.

If I had known that, I would have laid some, I got a plane on Venezuela to win.

I got to push notice at like 730 last night, like, and you didn't bet it.

I did.

I mean, if you get that, you probably did that.

I did.

No, I did.

No, I did.

Venezuela, you fraud.

F and fraud, F and see.

Yeah, look at this.

You're trying to build a coalition against me.

But let's get past the Jesus was wearing a Venezuela, Jersey last night.

That energy, that like, that's what the USA doesn't have.

And even when they're more than their norm, they can't reach the Dominican, the Venezuelan,

the Puerto Rican, the Japanese energy.

Okay.

We're going to ask a question that will be particularly dangerous knowing the market

I am currently speaking in.

But does the lack of energy, if you will, like, we constantly praise Roman Anthony and

the like of him for his professionalism, the clinical surgical like way in which he goes

about his business.

Corus says, oh, he takes walks in spring training.

Nothing affects this guy.

Do you need a little bit?

We said the same thing about Drake May, like he never gets too high, never gets too low.

No, I think you need something that, especially in that environment, where you have a

heavily Venezuelan crowd and it's an environment that it is a glorified exhibition.

So remember that like we're not, this isn't day-to-day business, 162.

They all mean the same and we got to get to the post seat and I don't know.

This is one and done, go home.

It's not even a series, right?

Like it is a one game elimination final and there, I mean, I guess that's probably part

of it.

They're not really used to that.

Like they play series for everything regular season three game win the series, right?

That's what Corus tells us.

Mantra, all year long is win the series.

So if you lose a game, NBD, we win the series.

There'll be back, oops, this is not a series.

This is a one off and then the passion of they do care more.

They care at a younger age.

They care as a country.

Like were there any, I know you saw some like draped in American flags when they want,

like a little bit of it, but not to the degree that you see it from the Venezuelan

space.

So why don't we take that kind of pride in ourselves?

Why don't we?

Because we're too cool.

I swear it's about being too cool.

I think we are too.

And when I say we, I mean, like as a country, as a fan base, like we're too cool for that.

We can't show that much emotion.

We can't just let it all go and be crazy.

Do we have any athletes that anyone can remember?

Like no, actually, I apologize.

I need, I need some of the passion that the, I need Jack Hughes, but in a baseball uniform.

Yeah.

Who's that?

That's what I don't know.

And usually in the US, where he was crying after he scores the game winner in the

Olympics.

Usually when you have passion, it's negative, like it's a Dremon green.

It's a Grayson Allen.

It's a guy who has car guys fist fighting in the mid too far that way.

Like happy passion, right?

Like I don't know where you find that positive passion.

I don't need passion that crosses the line into violence, dirty play any of that.

Happy passion.

Who's the most happy, passionate baseball player there is probably seven, seven, nine, seven,

nine, three, probably not hate to say it, probably not an American.

Right.

And Gunner Henderson seemed like he gave a blank last night.

I mean, a guy that would qualify for our purposes, whether it's good or bad sometimes,

that's a debate we get into.

But I think Jaren Duran is a very passionate baseball player, Tristan Cossus.

Why do these feel like negative examples?

Why are the Red Sox examples and the American examples sort of negative?

Whereas the, the Suarez is of the world can turn.

Will you rebra you?

Like that?

He had the.

Post game.

Yes.

Oh, talking about how, how much the home run against Japan meant to him.

He hits a home run last night to put Venezuela up to nothing.

He will be.

And anyone.

I didn't.

What is it?

What's the name of that stupid website, zips, zips, yeah, no, we'll have a 30 home run

hitter on the team this year.

Will you agree?

It's like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He loves the Venezuelans.

Now he's a 30 home run hitter.

Will you?

I got oil.

I got oil in my backyard.

And I had Arapas for an inch.

Yep.

You were the talk of the town yesterday.

But now you strike out to end the WBC and all the Venezuelan fans are on Willier's side.

But I do.

This goes back to my theory.

And I've always told you guys this about the Patriots getting upset and Super Bowl 42

to the Giants treated it like a business trip.

And I did not.

Giants did not.

And I think a lot of sports teams get in trouble when they treat it like business trips.

And I would also say this will change when we change it at the lower levels and how

you manage that.

No idea.

But when bat flips in Venezuela or the Dominican or Puerto Rico, they can flip bats and they

can act with energy all the way up.

When you do that in America, it's not cool.

You're an A-hole kid.

You know, other people are mad and you're going to buzz your tower like when we embrace

energetic baseball at the youth high school college, that will feed into now we have some

of the best athletes in the world playing the game in a similar way to some of those

other countries.

And you now have to ask the logical question progressively.

Does this like even though, yes, I read the text about your parlor.

That's a good one.

It's pretty funny.

603.

Yeah.

All right.

New Hampshire on your side today.

401 probably not.

Does this it never usually does this, even though they're just your neighbor to the south.

So I know.

I know.

So does this possibly does this WBC and the fact that the ratings were tremendous and a

lot of people.

We don't know.

Yep.

They had over seven and a half million for the game the other night.

I dare say last night, I bet we'll nip at the heels of double digit in the millions.

That would be a nice number for them.

That would be a great number.

If they can get to baseball at large, that would be a nice number for them.

But will there be going forward?

Does this WBC and the passion displayed by the hitters and the teams and the players that

the kids love watching have on their fantasy teams that are on their cubs and on their

Red Sox even.

Will there be a positive impact going forward?

Will this change baseball for the more energetic six one seven seven seven nine seven

ninety three seven will answer that question on the other side.

What did you think of the WBC final?

Obviously most of us Americans were unhappy to see Venezuela win.

There's a few that enjoyed what they saw.

But what do you think of the passion and the USA, this historic lineup falling on its

face?

Was there an emotional lacking with team USA?

Is it more than just the manager or playing poorly?

Is there a lack of emotion that they couldn't meet on the other side of the diamond in

the WBC?
