How did the hosts describe weekend sports highlights and guest shout-outs?
Cheers to the freaking weekend.
Cheers to the weekend. There's so much going on. Curtis Granderson was asking us all of what we were doing. WNBA All-Star. You have the White Sox playing the Astros. You have the Savannah Bananas at Wrigley. So cheers to the weekend. Thank you to our guests, Curtis Granderson. Thank you to also... Bruce Levine for coming on, and Kevin Fishbane. Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Peter Jurich helped us out today. Thanks to Cody Westerlin, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis. Hello, Matt Spiegel. Hello, Lawrence Holmes.
Maybe they don't know the story. They might not know the story, and that's what I'm saying. I realized I should have let them know. So when I was coming back from New York.
Oh, the plane. We forgot to talk about that. Yeah, we did. We did not talk about it. Oh, yeah, I was completely escaped my mind.
I was stranded in Bangor, Maine, and they canceled the flight. And I'm sitting there on a plane in Bangor, Maine, that's not taking off to connect to Chicago. And I'm like, wonder, how am I going to fly home? And I look across the aisle. I'm like, yeah, that guy's trying to figure out the same. Isn't that Curtis Granderson? Yeah. And it was. And we talked and like we were trying to look for flights together. And he basically offered me the chance to fly back to LaGuardia, then to Detroit and drive from Detroit to Chicago with him. And I turned it down.
Because he was checking out the World Cup, right?
What happened when a host got stranded in Bangor, Maine with Curtis Granderson?
Because I was at home listening intently to the story on the Odyssey app. And I'm not kidding. This is exactly what I did.
But I have some regret. I had a lovely time in Bangor, Maine. You did. You tried to take over the radio station. I have some regret for missing out on a wild and woolly adventure with Curtis Granderson.
That's amazing. Hey, one of the things we were talking about with Curtis, and this is absolutely awesome, is he's hosting some wiffle ball at UIC, like national wiffle ball. I assume wiffle ball was a part of your childhood as well, the skinny yellow bat with the baseball attached to it. Or you cheat and you get the big thick red bat that everyone's not allowed. You're not allowed.
We didn't care. We just played with what we had. Anarchy!
I mean, Lawrence has a big arm to begin with as a thrower. Does that help in wiffle ball, though? No, you want to be crafty.
It's about the... Oh, yeah. Whenever I see some of that stuff on TV with the people who take it super seriously, I'm like, how? How do you even hit that? Oh, it's unbelievable.
I've been watching it on ESPN. It is ridiculous. Yeah, I know. It's crazy.
I can't say anything.
I watch the Excel championships.
Well, Grody doesn't really like it, but Dave likes it. Dave the Cat, the big wiffle ball fan.
Oh, absolutely. We are nonstop wiffle balls.
Would he like a wiffle ball fan?
Too big. Cats like it. Like a dog would like a wiffle ball. Cats like everything just a little bit smaller.
In my college wiffle ball heyday, I had the sidearm rising fastball, which is the standard.
It's standard.
And then I had the slider and the screwball. You flip the ball around and you put the holes in the other side. You can get the screwball going like your Dennis Oil can Boyd in my life.
I loved playing it. We would also, growing up in Roseland, that would be a launcher for fireworks, too, because it had the little hole on the handle. And it was perfect if you were, like, sending bottle rockets. Like, you then could turn the wiffle ball bat into something that you could use almost as, like, a weapon.
That's amazing.
I mean, anything... They did that exercise where they ask you, like, what is the second use of an item? Like, name the item. Weapon. And for me, it was always weapon. Like, you can turn anything into a weapon.
It says a lot about... It says more about you, I think, than anything.
Yeah, and my coworkers who also... My favorite coworkers also all had weapon. And I was like, all right, I know my people.
You know the thing that I think of most, and because we're around it the most, but not these...
