This is the TPH Rowan when Rothenburg podcast.

Let the wild rump is begin.

Listen live weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m. on 880 ESPN in New York, the ESPN New York

app, and on YouTube by subscribing to the ESPN New York YouTube channel, this is TPH Rowan

Rothenburg.

Peter might be more below at least.

I don't think they call it morbidly below.

This again, be great too, you think?

Be too fat.

I thought he'd be the best.

Whenever the V212, he could be a great too.

You better get to it.

Doctor, talk.

What do you mean?

Is it Alejandro Kirk?

This.

This is TPH Rowan Rothenburg.

You know, Peter asked me out for dinner recently.

Really?

Maybe you should do him a favor and not go to dinner.

Right.

On ESPN New York.

And streaming live on YouTube.

All right, DNR with you.

Nice to see you to join us.

ESPN New York.

Hey, listen, RJ and I were finalizing our overunders.

Hey, don't worry about the show.

And first of all, you're barely here after 830 for any segment on time.

What do you mean?

Secondly, why did, in fact, I leave the studio.

Tell people why I left.

I was doing recordings.

You were doing recordings and at a respect to you so you could have your own space.

Well, I got up and I left.

You're not true.

That's true.

That's true.

All right.

Great point.

That's true.

Let's also not ignore the fact that what I'm trying to do reads, including live reads

on the air, you decide that you want to press your talk back and have conversations with

the guys in the other room.

As I'm trying to focus on doing reads, you're not true, true or not true?

They're true.

Okay.

Well, a real true professional would be able to fight through somebody else talking, a real

true professional would just shut his mic off and let the other person do the read.

Mm-hmm.

Did I get up and leave you?

You said, you're doing the reads in front of you.

That's because it's almost important because you have full conversations as I'm trying

to record.

All right.

You have John in here.

You'll be chopping it up.

RJ, what do you think of this over under?

What it is?

You can't focus.

No.

You have, you're all over.

You're all over.

That plays me.

I focus.

No.

You're inconsiderate.

That's what it is.

I don't accept.

Yes.

RJ, RJ, should he not be able to do a read with me quietly talking to Raymond and the

talk back?

Mm-hmm.

The talking, the you being there, I think, should have no bearing.

The talking, I could see where I might get a little distracted because what is it doing

this for 15 years?

It doesn't matter.

Well, this is one of his things though, but the studio is also quiet.

There's nothing else going on.

So that's all he can hear.

Exactly right.

He could murder someone on third avenue and you'd be like, well, I mean, officer, you don't

understand.

No, that's not true.

He's not even on my side all the time.

He is your guy.

No.

It doesn't.

Okay.

Even if that was true.

RJ, who do you belong to?

No, honestly, Angela.

I don't like the implications.

Who do you belong to?

See, the fact that you have to ask, I think that puts me right right need to be.

He actually texted me last week.

Who do you belong to?

You're a Dave guy.

You bleep.

Yeah, I did.

I texted that.

I think you're a Rick.

No, that's why I feel that means I'm right right need to be.

What is this place?

A prison?

Who do you belong to?

Who do you belong to?

I'm right in the middle.

How about you?

Who do you belong to?

I belong to me.

But if you had to belong to one of us, if it was the sharks in the day, I treat you right.

He treats me right.

I wouldn't you do that.

I treat you right.

More than I did.

Who asked if I had an extra chromosome before because I'm a cowboy fan?

Well, that's fair.

And what did I, and I nourished you this morning?

He stopped snapping.

No, I'm a great snap.

He's not a gang.

He's like more like a shark in the jet.

This is not a prison.

Who do you belong to?

Who do you snapping?

It's very uncomfortable.

I like you pick to serve a jelly.

You're called.

You know it, right?

Who brought you a beautiful, religious role?

Come on.

Come on, right?

It actually was an elite role today.

Okay.

You know what I have?

You know what I, you know what I, you know what I, you know what I, you know what I,

that's what I said to him.

I said, make sure I said, make sure it's a soft roll, because I know that's what you

like.

And I try to provide for you.

Did you actually say that?

No, it's just happened to work out that way.

Yes.

Whatever Vindier gives me tape.

Vindier gives and you take.

As long as his eggs are perfect.

Eggs were nice.

Yeah.

Of course they were.

Yeah.

Can you stop?

No, I'm a great.

Look at this.

I don't know why.

But that's what I want.

You join his gang.

And he's sure.

And he would just start to sing and try to dance fight and you'd all end up done.

Absolutely.

Who could snap like this?

This guy's about to do a rumble.

But you've already told us that first of all, the hands are.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I could do so many things with both hands.

I know you can.

Yeah.

You're a real treat.

Listen to this.

Snapping.

This is high level stuff.

RJ.

RJ, you went to school for this.

Right here.

He's out of control.

And I'm, and I'm the one that's a, a problem.

We should get him our pony for this.

Yeah.

And you want to, why did you reach with this animal in here?

I don't snap when you do your.

I wouldn't be surprised if you started to.

Maybe I will.

You're shocked that you can snap with both fingers.

I didn't realize it was that good.

I.

Quite frankly, I didn't realize I was that good at snapping.

I'm like capable.

You hollow.

53 years old and figuring this out or just falling over.

Often you go through your day where you're doing like daily tasks and you're like, I am

great.

I.

Not often.

Because I don't think I have a lot of great ability.

How often does he discover great things about himself today's today's the stage of

life.

Mark it down.

You know what?

Right now.

I can snap by.

He's a real chance.

He goes home and he shows off the, the Sherry.

Look what I can do.

I, I might walk in today.

Snapping.

I, I walk in snapping because it's not something we've ever done as a family or is there

a chance that she's actually impressed by that or she like, well, come on man.

No, she'll do.

Oh, that's amazing.

That's amazing.

It's amazing that you can snap your fingers.

Ray.

Yes.

But can you, with your offhand snap at the same time?

You're very, you're very good too.

Stop that.

I got it.

I got to tell you.

Can you snap?

Yeah.

You're good too.

RJ, can you also snap?

I love.

I love.

That's nice.

I think we can all do it.

Is it make you feel better?

Is that hurt your market now?

Yeah.

A little bit.

That's as high as he's been.

I will.

I don't think you can have the duration of snapping.

I do.

You know what?

I went like three minutes.

I snap.

He was in space.

And now we've put him in the arms across.

How many people?

Maybe next time I go to space.

I snap.

You're going to be sitting next to that kid.

Who is coding?

Yeah.

We have an eight-year-old coding.

And this, this 53-year-old man is this way.

Amazing.

He can snap.

The kid is right in code.

Yeah.

The kid is right in code.

He's changing the way the world is looked at.

And I'm like, hey, kid.

Look at this.

RJ, I'm curious as to what the post show rundown of this segment

is going to say.

Well, we're going to get it to the baseball.

Dave is very impressed with himself.

He could snap with both hands.

I do feel that.

Have you seen him this happy before?

I haven't seen him this happy before.

Of all of us that have shown our snapping prowess.

You're very good.

Right.

I mean, thank you.

Well, I haven't seen you this happy since the giant tiger, John Harbour.

Yes.

Just wait.

Just wait.

Just wait.

All I'm saying is careful with what?

Okay.

Careful with that.

With the snapping.

Okay.

You may be next to the tickle booth at the beach, at the beach back.

You think they're going to put me on the display?

Yeah.

Snappy.

Who can snap for the longest amount of time?

I think I do.

Can you be David snapping?

No.

No, I also have another skill.

I can take my two middle fingers and make them make a cracking noise.

I thought that was going in the direction.

Got to tell you.

Yeah, I did too.

How would I would one realize they could do that?

I don't know.

Can you, can you fart with your armpit?

No.

No, you can't do that.

No, I can't.

Hand fart.

Let me take my wedding ring off.

Listen to this.

This is them.

Come on.

Can you do that?

Right?

Can you do that?

I think you can do that when I was eight years old.

Can you do it now?

Yes.

Let me hear it.

This is a discussion right now.

Let me do it.

Can you do it?

Can you do it?

You make the joke, but this is an actual I went to school for this moment.

I don't hear it.

I went to school to do this.

I don't hear it.

I went to school to do this.

Can you do it?

Can you do it?

I don't think so.

Can you hand fart?

No.

That's my skill.

Look, I can do it that way.

Two different ways.

Oh my god.

Yankees one last night.

They could have used your Netflix last night.

Here's Dave.

They bring me into the booth.

Yankees says, hey, what can you do with your hands?

Oh, Matt, I can hand fart.

Maybe you hand fart.

The starting line up.

I'm submitting this segment for the mark.

We're going to win.

We're going to win.

We're going to win.

We could go through tomorrow.

Tell me, tell me if you, RJ hired anyone for a job,

like when people come in to produce or run the board,

do they ever let you look at the resumes?

Not usually.

No, if at the bottom of the resumes,

like, you know, worked at this station,

so you're, and then it's at like talent skills,

it's at hand farting.

Would you look at that and be like,

that's bizarre or there's a chance you'd look at that

and be like, you know what, I'm intrigued.

Well, I'd be intrigued because if they put it

on the resume, he'd be intrigued.

Voice, voice of the camels.

Also, great hand farter.

Yeah, that's nice.

Yeah, I don't know what that would qualify for.

Email from Ceaseley says,

now I'm walking down the street,

snapping my fingers, thanks a lot.

Right.

I just don't know like it.

It's like tove him a choir in Spider-Man.

Right.

We're in the resume with that guy.

I don't understand like for which job though,

that would be like, you know what,

it will pose it.

It's another skill.

It's just like, he can produce, he can host,

he does updates, he can run the board, cut sound,

and also hand fart.

Right.

Yeah.

Like that on a dating profile.

With that.

You know, it's close.

I don't think it's a turn off.

It's close between Dave and Tom.

Dave can hand fart.

I think maybe, maybe if things are all

even equal across the way.

Maybe it gives you a thing to put your

hand on.

But maybe as a single woman in your mind,

you're like, wow, he's that talented in his hands.

Maybe this is maybe what else can he do?

Right.

So Yankees last night.

Seven, nothing.

Breathe great.

Judge, we got people.

Oh, Judge, was it?

And we've had no people, not one person today

that it's called the complaint about Aaron.

Well, first of all, not one.

And I told you, you can't.

You can't win a game and complain.

Could you imagine if a team you rooted for won the game?

How they lost though, what are we talking about?

That's different.

Right.

That's different, which is also embarrassing.

I recognize that, but that's granted last the entirety

of last year.

He had no games where he struck out four times.

And he's already done it once in one game this year.

But he also had the moment last night where he wanted

the challenge.

He thought about it for a second.

It's going to be wild with him this year.

And they, they, they, they fixedly even screwed that up.

Oh, they did.

Yeah.

The challenge with Kabaiere.

Yeah.

I like the ABS.

I like it a lot.

I always say this though.

And when I told you a couple of weeks ago, how great it was going to be.

Well, you just brought it up out of nowhere.

I know.

I mean, you just said you just throw it initials around.

I'm, I'm as excited for ABS.

I'm like, I'm all excited for ABS.

You know, it's great.

It gives you immediate answers.

And it's very quick.

It's very quick.

Yep.

So I think it's great.

I did see where I heard.

And I think it was, I might have been for Dutri talking about it.

I guess the only, and I asked Buster yesterday, the only negativity that he's heard about

it is that in the experience of the minor leagues, if you get an umpire that's having a bad day.

And now, and now it's just, it's, it's too many challenges.

Right.

It can kind of interrupt the pace of the game.

I think it was very annoying.

If you have an umpire who's terrible.

Yeah.

And you're like, like, twice in a bad five times in an inning.

I saw, right.

You, you put it out there yesterday.

I think you commented on it.

It was an umpire that was very anti, you know, I think it was, I think it was Garcia.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, the challenge system.

It's like, well, then get the calls right.

And we understand, like, I understand that you're not going to get everything right.

Yeah.

That makes total sense.

But would you want it to be right?

Yes.

Because you have a, a system in place that can immediately change it.

Well, that should be the case.

Well, that should be the case.

That's been part of the conversation with the NFL, though, too.

Is that we all recognize that this human error in that this game is moving really fast.

And these, it's, it's a, it's a really difficult job.

But if I have the ability with someone upstairs with a, you know, a headset on that's attached

to the ref.

Again, we can get it correct.

Immediately.

Like, hey, that wasn't, you know, that wasn't rough in the quarterback.

Like, let's pull that flag up.

And it's instantaneous.

And I've heard some people saying, like, well, part of the, the enjoyment of the game.

That's actually human error.

You saw that that's actually going to be potentially in place.

Well, there'll be the, the man in the, in the sky.

If things don't work out with the referees and we have replacement referees for one year,

they'll allow the up top to help out.

That's fine.

Yeah.

I'm fine with regular referees.

I have no problem with that.

Okay.

I will say this, though.

And I don't think this is not going to be ABS, right?

But this just in general, like the whole replay thing is, again, we get into the conversation

about the unintended consequences.

And because everyone is so hyper competitive that we now take what should be a good rule

and make it a bad rule when we start doing, hey, we're going to challenge because we

just saw that the, that, that his cleat is a centimeter off the, like that stuff,

right?

Bear.

But how, how would this?

It was that line that it would.

No, I don't know what I'm saying.

It's just saying in general.

I don't think ABS is going to get to that point.

Maybe you could even change it to, if it's a strike three or ball four, is the only time

you can.

No, I think it's going to be fine.

I think it's going to be fine too.

Yeah.

I'm not worried about it.

Unless you have someone that emotionally decides they want to make a call because they're

angry, right?

Right.

And they're wrong.

And now you lose your challenge.

But maybe on the positive side, you can't, you can't screw a hitter who's been a jerk

to you for the last couple of hours.

No, no.

I'm not saying that.

I'm not saying that.

What I'm saying is, is that in the midst of it at bat, just like they won't let pictures

do it, or team just sound like, hey, pictures, well, let the catcher's handle because

you're emotional.

You're aggravated.

Right.

You think it was a strike.

If you're a hitter, same deal.

Or in the heat of the moment, you're like, that was a ball.

Right.

And you give it the helmet.

Now you lost.

Right.

That's eliminated.

Right.

But don't you think that there are, and maybe not some umpires and umpire out there that

doesn't like that?

No.

Like, you don't think so?

I think that they're so, I think they're, they're all great.

You don't, I think they are really good for the most part.

Yeah.

But you don't think there's an umpire out there that even subconsciously is but like,

I don't like him.

I think that every time it is ending closely, it's going to go against them.

I think that maybe, and I think that probably in the past, yes, but I think that they are

so, it's so scrutinized and it is, there are such a sharp and it's a Twitter and a great

way to hire an MLB score card and all that kind of stuff.

Maybe you're right.

I think I'm more concerned with trying to be as, as accurate as humanly policy.

See, I don't look at this as showing up the umpire.

No.

I look at this as better in the game and doing it in a very great way.

Right.

But you're also on the other side of that.

It's like, I told you was a strike.

Right?

Like, how dare you?

Right.

Challenge me.

I'm the best there ever was.

Milo just want to let you know he can also hand fart.

Really?

Yep.

Okay.

See?

I'm like Netflix.

I'm appealing to the young generation.

He just, he spent an hour of the show complaining about Netflix and now your Netflix.

Why does the Netflix did it well?

Well, and now you're Netflix.

You snapped and you hand farted.

Right?

Is that doing it well?

Is that what we're defining?

Is doing it well?

Milo is loving today's program.

Ask him.

Say Milo, are you enjoying today's program?

Is this the audience we're looking for?

Are you looking for the 11 year olds?

I'll take anybody I can get.

I'll take 11.

I'll take 15.

I think I want everything.

I don't think it's the key demographic we're looking for.

But hey, whatever.

You got to listen to for life now.

There you go.

No.

I mean, how often does Milo text you about the show?

When he's, when he's listening, yeah.

He, uh, decent amount.

Usually it's just getting in trouble because when we're just like, ah, they go, you

have to talk about that now.

They're in the car on the way to school.

I don't like the wife imitation.

You do.

I don't, every time you talk about your...

What's your imitation of Sherry?

It's not that.

Give me it.

Not that.

I give you it.

I don't, no.

She's just a normal, wonderful human being.

She doesn't have this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't talk like that.

Well, you're a funny story.

Yes.

I love my mom last night.

Don't be nasty.

Don't she miss me?

She, she does like you.

Yeah.

Okay.

That she does.

She, she.

Forget it.

No, forget it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Natural instinct.

Hey.

Natural instinct.

Okay.

All right.

I'll give you, well, I'll give you one.

That was my right hand.

That's the off hand.

Yeah.

Talk to my mom last night.

Yep.

She, she spoke to someone's son.

Okay.

Having trouble getting a job.

He needs a job.

What I talked to him.

Okay.

I said, what, what does he, what is he looking to do?

Something with coaches.

So what does that mean?

What does that mean?

What, how am I qualified to talk to this person?

Well, you're in sports.

Right.

And he wants to work with coaches.

I said, do it like an agent?

Like coaching coaches?

I was never able to get to the bottom of it.

Okay.

And finally, I said, if you're going to want me to talk to this person,

you're going to have to find out more information.

Right.

She said.

I told him to call the show.

No.

Yes.

So there's a chance.

Or a chance.

But you get, well, that's better than giving yourself a number out.

A recent college graduate that calls the show that is interested in life advice via coaching.

To just generally work with coaches.

I, I really can't, I'm uncertain.

All right.

Well, maybe we can facilitate that.

Yeah.

So that was a, a treat of a conversation.

You have had coaching experience.

Yeah.

But I don't think I'm equipped to help someone.

Like, what level of coaches does he want to work with?

I don't know.

I don't even know what he wants to do with coaches.

I don't know if he wants to coach.

I don't know if he wants to work as an agent for coaches.

Right.

I don't know if he wants to be a recruiter to, to be at a school.

It's going to work.

I don't know what he wants to do.

And she didn't know.

Because I mean, as you know, I'm, I'm, I'm a certified coach of coaches.

Oh, I know you are.

Yeah.

So you can, maybe you're the better person.

Maybe I'm the one asked.

Yeah.

He's off today.

Yeah.

He's off today.

Matt's, Matt's in action today.

Are you able to watch the game live?

Yeah.

I didn't love the passing sound.

What?

I don't care.

Close to 75 wins.

I don't care.

Come on.

That's ridiculous.

What are you talking about?

They said closer to 75 than 95.

So that, that means that they're below 85.

Right.

We just lived through 83.

There's no way.

Did you like that?

Could it be?

Okay.

I know you're going to be, you can always be worse.

Realistically, could it be worse than last year?

They were horrendous last season.

Do you really think the meds can be worse than they were last year?

No.

I don't think that the pitching could be worse than it was last year.

But I also do agree that we don't have a ton of depth, especially with now what we've

seen from Anaya.

Bear.

Knowing that Sangha gets hurt.

And we've seen Jonah Tonk.

He's not ready.

How many?

How many at the moment?

He's not ready.

You're right about that.

How many at Christian Scott?

Right.

You could bring him up.

And I got real questions about the bullpen.

Back into that bullpen.

I think, I mean, I heard you're going to really like that.

And I heard the other day that it was like, well, you know, Devon Williams has a hard time

trusting and he has a relationship with David Stern.

What is him trusting David Sterns have to do with him not liking the amount of attention

that he got with the Yankees?

Well, that gets me worried too.

Like if the guy is so...

They did everything to make him feel comfortable.

You've got to be a beard back.

We're weak minded that because he has a tight relationship with David Sterns that he's

going to go out there and produce for you.

That's...

I mean, are we pretending like this is not going to be...

I don't want that.

Like, in my clothes, there's much pressure.

Especially because you're replacing Edwin Diaz also.

There's going to be a ton of pressure on him.

There may be a ton of pressure.

I...

Listen.

We'll see.

There's nothing more you could do.

We'll see.

I hope it works out.

I think passing is going to be wrong.

I would be...

You better say it better be...

I would be wrong.

Two things.

They had to be stunned if they weren't good this year.

I will crush them.

If the meds change the entire look of the team and skunk again, crush them.

And rightfully so, they would deserve everything they get.

They would deserve everything they get.

But, I mean, there are...

I mean, there are some things that you're going to need to see first.

Like, you...

You know going to the season that Yankees are going to be right there to win the division.

I know the Yankees are going 90 plus.

Right.

Like, you know the Dodgers is going to be good.

Seattle is going to be good.

Yep.

Right?

We have five new position players.

And those five new position players...

One's never played first base before.

One's never played third base before.

Your center fielder has tons of power.

It's always hurt.

I mean, so there are...

Second baseman is an advanced stage.

Right.

Your catch has been hurt.

And your right fielder...

Is a racon tray into Major League Baseball.

Yeah.

You have a lot of questions.

But, let me flip that.

And maybe I'm being overly positive.

I think that's fair.

I mean, offensive.

It should be better.

I know you lose a lot of power.

You lose power.

But look what you add.

Bechette's terrific.

Right?

I mean, Robert has great speed.

Simeon's a professional hitter.

Polanco's a good hitter.

I think defensively, you have reason to be concerned.

You should be better.

Up the middle defensively, you should be good.

You should be great.

Right.

Right field.

You should be good.

But again, I mean, I think the bat's going to be good enough at third base,

where you're not going to be like, uber focused on average defense.

But, I mean, that still is something that David Stern said he prioritized.

And I mean, I don't know how you can say that with a straight face and then go do what you did.

Well, I don't know that it was entirely his decision.

I think the opponent might have stepped in and said, I want the shit.

It sounds like that.

I want the shit.

RJ.

Hi.

How you doing?

Good. You ready? Yeah.

Let's go now.

Polanco's three-pointer.

We got it!

See ya!

Go!

What up in the box?

The sh** you missed.

Alrighty.

The path towards 162.0, alive and well, only 161 wins to go.

Yankees have with the giant seven.

Nothing.

Backstreet.

Little trouble early.

But the final line.

Pretty nice.

Two hits over six and a third.

Just a fifth Yankees starter.

Since 1969 was six and a third.

Shutout innings that opening day.

A lot of runner to advance to third base one time.

And the Yankees win an opener with a shutout on the road for the first time since 1967.

Wow.

By the way, Yankees who led baseball last year with 274 homers.

Nine singles.

Just one extra base hit.

That RBI triple by Trent Grisham.

We got a delicious plate of french fries.

Yeah, he's celebration.

Which you should do more often.

Terrific.

I really should.

RJ.

I got to tell you.

Once you eat these french fries with all these amazing dipping sauces.

I don't know if I could go back to another french fry.

The problem.

This is my issue.

Is once you start.

I can't turn around.

But I already knew going in.

Right.

I said to myself, there will be no stopping.

Which is for one night.

Which is fine.

It was fine.

Uh, continue.

Well, but the real problem is you tend to go back for decades.

You're not going to wait 20 years.

No, I'll go back to this restaurant.

For sure.

No, I don't mean the restaurant.

Oh, the french fries.

No, I don't need them.

You do though.

No, but I don't.

I mean, I don't need an average french fry.

If you're getting me the best french fry, I'll dabble.

Do you like the home fry?

I love the horde.

Do you like the thick, like steak fry?

Um, no.

I don't mind it.

But I do love it.

A nice crispy home fry.

Oh, terrific.

You got it.

It was in that breakfast bowl I was telling you about.

So what is the thing that you go to?

Like my go to cheat meal.

Yeah, not not for you.

Like the thing you create.

You cannot live with it.

It's actually bad for you.

Like the real thing.

You just depend on the pizza guy.

I'm a pizza guy.

I'm a, uh, a sub guy.

Tacos.

I'm looking for worse than that.

Birria.

I mean, what else is worse than the, what else?

I mean, what's worse than pizza?

What do you mean he loves ice cream?

He has a real problem.

Yeah.

No, he's fine.

Uh, but it's not like a Rick.

You go cheat day.

I'm gonna have like a slice of pizza and like some,

like a couple french fries.

Right.

I'm, I'm eating three giant, I mean,

three giant subs from Jersey, Mike's right.

It's like his arrest.

I'm trying to put on a weight.

Yeah.

I like that.

I'm gonna do that.

He's a refeed day.

We call it.

You told me 10 years ago.

Fat Rick is the happiest Rick.

Really?

Yeah.

I know sometimes you, you have been fat a long time though.

When Milo was, what I had, we had Milo.

You deserve to be happy.

You deserve to be happy.

It was almost too fast.

That was almost 250.

That was, that'd be second level.

I was like 35 pounds heavier than I am right now.

Second.

Great.

And of course, that's when they're like,

hey, do you want to jump on the islanders games and do TV?

Well, you did it as a fat man.

Oh.

Yeah.

I had to grow beard.

Like fat face.

Yeah.

Kind of like what you do.

That's, that's nice.

You were better than me.

Oh, I probably would more than you.

Yeah.

Way more than me.

You're number 250?

Never 250.

Oh, really?

No muscle.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Before he began this journey towards just being in peak shape again, I remember he told me

he goes, this is the happiest I'll ever be.

Yep.

Like internally, not like who makes your happy wife family.

Like just, my day to day, he goes, I love life right now.

I get to eat so many.

Just because you could eat whatever you want.

Yeah, anything.

So he's, just know that he's battling this all the time.

Yeah.

So an eye hot for dinner sometime.

Really?

Yeah.

I was like, I got my arrow.

I deserve you anything in the coffee.

No.

And garbage in the coffee.

We're going to be the answer to that.

Well, you had that at IHOP.

We had said the name.

I didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything about IHOP.

I mean, what is...

Allegedly.

About a specific IHOP.

Allegedly.

You take it for what?

I once fell asleep at a table at IHOP.

What do you take it for?

There's nothing left, dude.

And I knocked all the Serbs off.

It's kind of all out there now, yeah.

You know how I hop they give you all the Serbs?

Yes, Serbs.

They fell asleep and I accidentally knocked all the Serbs off.

Wasn't great.

That must have been great.

Yes, not great.

They tell you it's unlimited pancakes.

But then by the time you...

They'd never come fast enough.

They'd say it's unlimited.

They slowed down.

Sometimes they have, but they slowed down on purpose.

Yeah.

They wait you out.

No, they back the train up for you.

Yeah, can I get another stack?

And it's like...

Oh, yeah, we'll get there.

Yeah, we'll get there.

And then by the time it shows up, you're like...

Yeah, I don't know anymore.

Don't know anymore, yeah.

True.

How's that come by, Errol?

Forever the answer to a trivia question.

First player to use the ABS.

But they messed that up too.

And...

But your Netflix.

And lose.

I'm Netflix the way it's meant to be.

Yeah.

Their Netflix the way it's not meant to be.

Yankees giant off today to become shelter.

And Robbie Ray to Morrow.

Garrett Cole, by the way, put on the 15-day IEL to start the season.

Not the 60-day IEL.

Worth watching.

And Cade Winquest became the Yankees first club...

Rule 5 player.

To make the opening day roster since 2007.

Other injuries to tell you about.

Real majorly baseball.

Jeremy Payne, he is healthy.

I have to start the season opening day for the Astros.

They take on the Angels.

Carl Crawford, son.

Justin wins the Philly's center field job.

That's great for me.

I got him on my fantasy team.

Philly's and Rangers today.

And the Padres move you, Darvers, to the Restarteless as he recovers from surgery.

Nets.

They lose to the Warriors.

Dream I agree.

It makes a couple of clutch free throws late.

Warriors beat the Nets by three.

Clinchy.

Play in spot.

Do the Golden State Warriors.

Dimmer Wolves had the NBA's largest overtime come back.

Ever.

They closed the game on a 15-nothing run.

They were down.

13 and overtime came back to be the rackets who were kind of in a free fall right now.

13 and overtime.

That's right.

That's a record.

How much time was left?

Do you have any idea?

I got to look that up.

That's crazy.

I think it goes.

Yeah.

I mean, can't have been much more than two minutes.

It was three some.

I would say it was three 46.

Yeah.

They squit 13 points in a minute and 15.

Yeah.

I mean, let me double check that.

Did you get the game on a 15-nothing run?

Jamal Murray drops 53 in a call of yoke.

It's nearly goes 20, 20, 20.

23, 21 boards.

19 assists.

It's 30th triple and double.

He's unbelievable.

He's unbelievable.

They were down 108 to 95 with 301 left.

There you go.

They went out of.

They squit 15 points.

How is that possible?

They didn't have no.

I was read for that because Scott falseth threw them out.

Nuggets beat the Mavericks.

Jamal Brown scores 31.

Celtics.

Really nice.

Went over the thunder.

They end their 12-game win streak.

Can't look like, by the way.

Is he what you're doing yesterday?

What you doing?

Photographer at the Pacers game.

Sitting in court.

Bill Self.

He's like a young Peyton Pritchard.

That's nice.

I mean, what are we doing?

Yeah.

This is taking a turn.

Bill Self.

Maybe retiring?

No, now he's not retiring.

Not retiring.

Well, no, no.

He said he hasn't decided yet.

Yeah, he did.

But at the moment, he is not retired.

I'm not retiring.

Yeah.

Just a full.

Forty-six.

Is that a money thing?

No.

Hey, if you offer me enough money, I could.

Maybe because it has some real healthy.

I think it's a health thing.

Yeah, he said some real.

He's had a couple of major heart issues.

So, uh, at least be the Rangers.

Six straight loss.

You are.

It still makes me happy.

Surging up.

I hope you're happy.

It still makes me happy.

Rest of the year.

Yeah, but you're happiness now could be long-term pain perhaps.

No.

Uh.

Big game.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's a big one for the loser.

We get.

We get, uh.

Matthew, you shave with the first overall pick.

You guys get.

Yeah.

You guys try to get it.

Did I see Shaffer's workload right the other night?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like 32 minutes.

And I could have burned him out.

We didn't go to the Olympics.

He's fine.

Okay.

Yeah.

Ah.

Seahawks.

And it showed the other day against the Black Cawks.

Seahawks are going to open the season on a Wednesday.

And if I see someone start a Wednesday.

If I live closer to you, I would drive to your home and take a dump on your porch.

And welcome that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We have the ring camera.

I would put that all over.

That's right.

All over.

I don't care.

Good.

You all have nothing to care.

Something.

Something tells me Rick would embrace that.

I give you full frontal too.

Good.

I'll show everybody that.

He looked right into the camera.

I feel like what's that?

Uh.

Is that a kickstand?

It would be like this.

The singing criminal.

I would rest on it.

Yeah.

I'd be like this.

Okay.

Come on.

I see how it's going to open on Wednesday because the Niners and Rams are going to open for

Australia on Thursday.

It'll be a normal 825 or 820 kick.

1030 AM local in Australia.

So that seems conducive too.

Keep it going.

It's 1030 on a local time in Australia.

What day of the week is that there?

They're ahead of us.

Friday.

Yeah.

Hey.

We can go to a 1030 Friday.

People that take that day off.

People will go.

I'm sure they'll go.

Long weekend.

I'm sure they'll go.

Uh.

And Las Vegas expected two hosts.

Super Bowl 63.

By the way.

Sorry.

That could be the one.

That could be it.

It's possible.

Uh.

Colonel Tate.

By the way.

Colonel who?

Colonel Tate.

Colonel Tate.

Colonel Tate.

Uh.

Do you hear Colonel?

Yes.

Yeah.

One of his 30 visits.

Him and his troops.

We'll be with the Giants.

Okay.

Interesting.

He's the best runner you've ever seen.

Yeah.

In the NFL ever.

That's nice.

It's the Roy Hobbs that wrote running.

Yeah.

We're going to get Grocer on the line.

But before we do.

We're going to go to Rick.

Arkansas, Arizona and Illinois and Houston.

And that game is in Houston.

What's the matter?

I got some.

I don't know how you're going to feel about this.

Uh oh.

This could affect this could potentially affect your relationship with with Andre.

Can I quickly let you know that it was game time brought to you.

I tell them or do the original triple to still triple blended triple cast.

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's not what he did.

It's what he didn't do.

What did he not do?

RJ.

Yes.

After our big time meeting yesterday.

Did you happen to stick around a little bit?

Yeah.

What did, um.

What did Kyle have to say about.

Uh oh.

Yeah.

Anything.

Anything special?

See, you know the actual word that was used.

Yep.

Anything special?

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's not what he did.

It's what he didn't do.

What did he not do?

RJ.

I was holding on to this.

Yep.

I didn't know what to do with it.

Where did you learn this?

Where did you learn this?

But Dan Gross is here.

Uh huh.

That's fine.

Hi, Dan.

Hi.

How you doing?

Good.

Good.

I was doing fine.

Apparently I'm going to get, um.

Lamb based it as they said.

No.

I'm just curious.

What happened in this meeting?

It was a great meeting.

I asked, you know, because I'm the only one that really pays attention.

Well, they didn't know his name.

First of all, Dan.

They didn't know my name.

Who didn't know your name?

The person we had the meeting with.

What did they call you?

What did they call you?

Not my name.

Rick and you.

And you.

And I was like, Dave.

I'm Dave.

You got to walk in like you read a sales convention with a name tag or something.

Yep.

All right.

So go ahead.

RJ, what do you say?

RJ.

So Kyle.

Who I liked.

Yeah.

Well, I guess this could change things.

So he was going through about, you know, what we were doing.

And he goes, listen, I understand, like, you know, sometimes I think everyone is playing

up their personality and things like that.

And, you know, sometimes when you have like the jokester and like the straight man, right?

Like sometimes you're just kind of classifying what people are.

The term he used for you as someone that plays off of Rick.

Rick, do you want to tell him the word?

No, I think he should do it.

And this pains me.

This is verbatim.

This is great.

He said, I know sometimes they play the athlete and the bozo.

That is great.

Oh, no.

You mean like bozo the clown.

Don't, don't get mad at me.

Oh, no.

RJ is just the messenger.

Don't get mad at me.

Oh, no.

Ricky, Rick, can you confirm this is what you heard?

I just heard it.

Yeah.

That guy said this.

This, don't, don't get mad at me.

That's a Cowboys fan right there, baby.

You know what?

And now it all comes full circle.

The athlete and the bozo.

The athlete and the bozo.

I might get that t-shirt, mate.

I was going to say I see a line of t-shirts.

All right.

I'll just do the over-unders.

Because now does it really matter?

Does anything really matter?

I'll tell you what, bozo, ten o'clock is out.

It explains the hand snapping and the farting.

Dang, can you snap your fingers?

Absolutely.

I snap my finger.

Let me hear.

See?

Very good.

It's really good.

I'm actually pretty good at snapping.

Can you fart with your hands?

Can I fart with my ear?

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

It's like a squeezy fart.

Yes.

Could I hear that?

It sounds like a symphony.

Could we hear that for a second?

No, my hands aren't wet.

You want to hear mine?

Watch this.

Watch this.

Tell me that's not unbelievable.

That's bozo level.

Yeah.

Well, I know the athlete and the bozo.

You know, but you love it.

You eat it right up.

Like low-main.

Fine.

Whatever.

I'll be your bozo.

It's working for you.

Great.

All right.

Dan.

Yes.

So, you know what we're doing here, right?

The little over-under-action.

The little over-under-action.

I think we've been clamoring for this for three years.

Well, you finally got your way.

Stop looking.

Let's try to cheat.

The athlete's trying to cheat.

All right.

So, you get...

You guys want to go first.

You want to take picks two and three.

We're not snaking.

We're not snaking.

We're going one.

Then we go two.

Or vice versa.

And then we go one-one-one.

So, you want one or you want two-three.

That's a snake.

That's not a snake.

Yeah, it is.

You go one and if you go two, then you take the next pick.

That's a snake.

That's not a snake.

Last pick gets the next pick.

Go.

What do you want to do?

Dan, what do you want?

You want one or two-three.

Let's go two-three.

We'll go two-three.

Okay.

RJ.

You want to lead us off here?

Since you're...

I think the team captain?

Well, you have our picks.

I see.

You don't know anything of what we're doing.

No, I do, but you have them.

You have the official.

So, you're driving.

Okay.

We're going to start out in the American League.

Okay.

We get the American League East as a gauntlet.

Yep.

And I think the Akes are a 90-plus win team.

I think Toronto's going to be very good.

I think we, I should say, think Boston as well.

That's sold on Baltimore hitting the 85-and-a-half number.

We will take under 85-and-a-half for the Baltimore Orioles.

All right.

How do you feel about that?

I don't mind it.

We had Baltimore on the under on our list.

Okay.

Okay.

Dan, you want me to make these picks?

You want me to make the picks?

Go ahead.

Take one and...

I'll just get the first one out there.

All right.

So, we are also going to stay in the American League East.

And...

Are not a bozo!

RJ is going to love this pick.

Why are you on a hymn for it?

We are going to take the New York Yankees over 90-and-a-half.

Yankees over 90-and-a-half.

That's right.

All right.

You feel like you have an advantage because you have the one game in the win column or no?

Um...

162-1-0.

Yeah.

When they win 162, I'll be closer.

They should adjust that.

The win numbers went up after that game last night.

You kidding me?

Should.

What are the Yankees 90-and-a-half?

90-and-a-half.

Okay.

Surprise it wasn't 120-and-a-half after that performance.

All right.

Go ahead with your second pick.

Dan, do we really want to...

Do you feel good about this next one?

Absolutely.

I feel...

That...

Like I get...

This is the strongest one I think.

This next one is the strongest one you like.

Absolutely.

All right.

This is...

Dan loves this one.

We are going to take the New York Mets over the 90-and-a-half.

That wasn't the one I was talking about.

Oh, never mind.

Which one?

No, not too late.

Oh, I know.

Don't time out.

Nope.

No, you want the...

You talking about the Dodgers?

Well...

That's the one I was talking about.

And I'm the Bullsew.

Sorry.

Who's the Bullsew?

Sorry.

I'm the Bullsew.

Uh, we will take the Dodgers under 102-and-a-half.

Then we like that.

Yep.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

We did like...

I'm a man.

I make mistakes.

Uh...

Are you talking about a clown?

Would you like to go?

Like I said, you have a little...

You don't remember anything that we have.

You read them.

It's fine.

Okay.

All right.

I just want to be all encompassing.

Uh, we're going to go to the National League East.

And maybe it's part hatred.

But RJ also jumped on this.

Taking Atlanta.

We're taking Philadelphia under 89-and-a-half.

We don't think the Phillies get to 90 wins.

We will take that in such.

And that will be win number two.

Philly under 89-and-a-half.

Take another pick here.

No, we don't.

Oh, now we're alternating?

Now we're alternating.

Oh, that works.

Yeah.

All right.

We are going to go with...

We are going to go to the American League.

We are going to take Tampa over 77-and-a-half.

Hmm.

You like that one, right?

That was one of our picks.

They very rarely have bad consecutive season.

Yeah.

And I think that number's low.

Oh, that's very unfortunate.

Oh, yes.

He's down.

We got right in their head.

You should see him looking at this.

All right.

No, that's fine.

We're going to stay in the American.

RJ, I think we focus on the American League

because they've taken one off the board of Americans.

I think so.

We're going to stay in the American League.

The division is not great.

We don't love Cleveland.

We're going to take Detroit over 85-and-a-half.

Detroit over the 85-and-a-half.

Detroit over.

Yep.

Daniel, what would you like to do here?

We got two American in one national.

Do we want to go national or close up the American?

Go national?

I like the national one.

And I like that under that I told you in the East.

And underneath.

All right.

We'll take the Atlanta Braves under the 86-and-a-half.

That's another one we had on our list.

That's a baby.

There's stealing our babies.

Yes.

The positive was getting very upset.

All right.

Atlanta.

The positive.

The positive was getting upset.

The positive is getting.

RJ, this is the greatest thing that's ever happened.

And he said that.

It felt mean.

It would be mean.

And it's meant to be mean.

He asked me the positive.

So he obviously thought your question was ridiculous.

Maybe.

That's fine.

All right.

What do we have here?

We got them in a pro.

Okay.

That's fine.

We're going to go into the National League.

Okay.

And we, there's a lot of belief in this team.

And I think they're good.

I think they're better than they've been.

We don't believe that Pittsburgh is a 79-win team.

So we'll go under these 78-and-a-half for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Oh, that's surprising.

Yeah.

Good.

Are you surprised they went under with Pittsburgh then?

Not really.

I think if you have to roll the dice in your life,

depend on it.

You probably go that way because it's Pittsburgh.

What if they ever proven they know what the hell they're doing?

So you like that pick?

I like it.

Yeah.

Well, Rick was thinking about going over.

And I was like, I wouldn't do it in my life.

So if you're not going to go over, you go under.

All right.

Here we go.

We're going to put a tight little bow on our American League picks here.

Mm-hmm.

If they take our team RJ, you're going to get the work.

We're going to take the Sacramento A's over the 75-and-a-half.

I don't know.

That's going to hit.

I don't know of that.

I was actually, I was flirting with the A's possibly, possibly,

even as a surprise wild card.

You can't go crazy.

How about that?

That's insanity.

He loves it.

Okay.

By the way, Dan, you do realize you're on the hook for a breakfast for.

You know, but who loves, is there a person at the studio that loves breakfast more than Dan?

Definitely not.

I like a good breakfast.

All right.

We got to move here.

We've got four in the books.

We're going to take, we're going to go American League.

We're going to take, we think they're bad.

Minnesota under the 72-and-a-half.

Boxing's never healthy.

It's just not a great baseball team.

I think that's 70 underwentance.

Real bad situation.

Minnesota under 72-and-a-half.

Daniel, we got one more.

Yeah, we got one more.

We got one more National League.

We like the one.

We like the one we picked.

Absolutely.

All right.

Daniel loves it.

We're going to go with the New York Mets over the 90-and-a-half.

The Mets and Yankees have the same number?

What it says on the other, that's what it says on the two.

The Yahoo situation.

That's crazy.

People like the Mets.

The Mets are 90-and-a-half.

Yeah, look at that.

We got all our picks.

That's great.

Good for you.

Yeah, you did.

We got two stolen from us.

We're going to go to a team we watched play last night.

Offensively, that's just not a very good baseball team.

San Francisco, 80-and-a-half.

We'll take the under.

All right.

Good division.

Take the under.

All right.

So you got the twins under, Baltimore under.

You got the giants under, Philly under, Detroit over, Pittsburgh under.

So mostly under for you.

You got Dodgers.

You got four unders, two overs.

Yeah.

Yeah, we got Dodgers under, Yankees over, Tampa over, Atlanta under.

A's over, and the Mets over.

Okay.

I hope you're right with the, with the Mets.

I mean, too.

That's, I mean, partly.

Just, you remember it for that new existence.

All right, Dan.

Love you.

We got to go.

We'll talk to you next week, buddy.

Love you guys.

All right. There you go.

That is the great Dan Grasse.

I know you and he don't have a great relationship.

We're great, really.

We're back.

Looking for more access to the show.

And D.R. on ESPN.

It's opening day.

Of course, every show will still be on the ESPN app.

And on YouTube, the Mets will be on 880 ESPN.

New York, as will the Knicks starting this evening.

So very full, busy sports day all the college basketball, islanders in action as well.

Mets starting lineup reads like this.

Leading off.

Playing short, Francisco Lindor.

He's back.

He's healthy.

Juan Soto in the left field batting second.

Boba Shet will play third and hit third.

Jorge Polanco will bat fourth and play first.

Luis Robert Jr. center field bat fifth.

Brett Bates, your D.H. today, which is interesting that he's not going to be in the lineup defensively.

But he'll hit sixth.

Semyon will.

Where's he going to play?

Well, he could play him at third.

They're going to.

Can I please do this?

Okay.

But but Shet's their face.

I understand.

But Polanco was brought into play first.

So what do you want to sound the alarms now?

I'm not sending alarms.

But that's what that does game one.

All right.

Look, can I go through it?

Semyon is going to play second and bat seventh.

Benj will hit eighth and play right.

Is there a better ninth place hitter in the league than Francisco Alvarez catching kidding ninth.

If he's healthy, he should be good.

And of course, Freddie Peralta will be on the mound.

You don't like the lineup?

No, I like the lineup.

I don't know.

Do I put, I mean, what?

I'll put bench ninth.

Yeah.

That's fine.

Whatever.

Okay.

Very nitpicky.

It's fine.

Baseball guy.

All I am is a boso.

So who am I to judge?

What, what you have going there?

I don't know.

You're, you're in the athlete.

You're the delicate genius.

All right, Ray.

Three stars.

Today's three stars.

Number three.

All sorts of unsettling things today.

Three belong to.

Yeah.

Really questioning.

I could do so many things with both hands.

I know you can.

You're very proud of yourself.

Number two.

And you should be.

I have a history with thermometers.

And I wanted to know.

Right.

The level of cleanliness.

And what you have to do is.

It's so easy.

You see what excited he got?

It's so easy.

Yeah.

Kyle was very excited with your meeting yesterday.

It's a soap water situation.

Great.

Now I know.

Now I know I don't have to, you know, break out the, whatever.

Clark's bleach.

Sure.

Because that's what you do.

Especially if I have the one who wants it.

And because I'm a gentleman, I was like, Rick, you take it.

Well, Rick's going to use it.

You don't think I would have liked it.

You feel feverish?

You take the temperature last night?

No.

Of course you're not going to use that.

I'm not going to use that to take my own temperature.

I'm going to use that to take my own temperature.

I'm going to use that to take the temperature.

There's two of them, though.

There's only minutes ago that a troubling, well, fact came out.

He said, I know sometimes they play the athlete and the bowzo.

Oh, dear.

Number one, why?

It's worse when you hear it another time.

It's not good at any time you hear it.

Let me tell you.

Also not good as you wanted Don and Peter to fight.

Maybe they should fight.

How do you think that would work?

Well, let's get some big, like, like, 16 ounce boxing gloves.

And just let them go at it.

Yeah, one problem.

They're probably not in the same weight class.

I think weight wise.

They're probably close.
