I think it's booty. Listen, cabooses are good. Quoting the Beastie Boys.

Marshall Harris 1:04

Cabooses are phenomenal. Like when you're watching a train set. Professor, what's another word for pirate treasure?

Matt Spiegel 1:12

And when they do, it's nice to kind of sit and admire. Yeah, it's like a flashback. He's got a big caboose. Trains don't have cabooses? Not a mandate anymore.

Vinny Rotino 1:22

Was he talking about Bruce Bowen there? Like, what was happening? Ryan McGuffey and Matt Spiegel, everybody.

Matt Spiegel 1:27

We are the Spiegel and Ohm Show today. Yesterday, I was with a redhead named Ryan. Today, I am with a redhead named Ryan.

Vinny Rotino 1:35

I was just kind of actually thinking about that.

Which guests and shout-outs kick off the episode?

Vinny Rotino 1:37

I was like, oh, Guff and Dempster kind of look alike.

Ryan McGuffey 1:39

1% of the world's population. You got two in two days. Good for you.

Matt Spiegel 1:42

Yeah. Now, the other redhead named Ryan sent me a picture of him and Bill Murray late last night.

Ryan McGuffey 1:46

That I can't promise you.

Matt Spiegel 1:48

Lovingly looking in each other's eyes. It's an incredible picture.

Marshall Harris 1:51

Is there any other way to look into someone's eyes if you're going to be a certain distance from them?

Matt Spiegel 1:54

Yeah, no, if you're going to be that close, you just got to go for it. And that's what I said to him, like, man, Bill Murray has given you all kinds of respect and love right there. And he said he really was. He said some very nice things. It was pretty amazing.

Vinny Rotino 2:07

Isn't that cool? Yeah, he was in a good mood. And I've known you long enough. I feel like you're in a good mood, too. We've got Ryans in good mood.

Matt Spiegel 2:14

Yeah, right? Good mood Ryans with red hair. Let's go.

Vinny Rotino 2:17

I like it. I'm for this.

Matt Spiegel 2:19

So Cliff Floyd is awesome. And he was awesome with you. Yesterday, Demp and Boog were talking about those 1998 Marlins where they were both youngins.

Vinny Rotino 2:29

Yes.

Matt Spiegel 2:30

Rookies in MLB together. Boog first year with the Marlins. Demp first year. And that team lost 108 games. But it had Jim Leland and Craig Council and Mark Kotze and Cliff Floyd and unbelievable people on that team.

Vinny Rotino 2:48

Wasn't Ozzie also a part of that? He was an assistant coach for them.

Ryan McGuffey 2:53

He was a player for the Marlins. I'm pulling it up right now. He was a player for the Marlins, but not that year.

Matt Spiegel 3:00

Derek Lee was on that team. Edgar Renteria? Yeah. Damn. And Charles Johnson was on that team.

Ryan McGuffey 3:08

Gary Sheffield played 40 games. Bobby Bonilla was getting paid by the Mets to play in that game.

Vinny Rotino 3:13

Right. Mike Piazza. Everybody forgets his agent is Go-Go.

Ryan McGuffey 3:17

A 21-year-old Alex Gonzalez. How does that sit with everybody in this town?

Matt Spiegel 3:21

Oh, my God. That's the wrong Alex Gonzalez. No, I mix them up sometimes. But yeah, Alex Gonzalez didn't come back to help. But that's an unbelievable assemblage of baseball humans on a truly terrible team.

Vinny Rotino 3:34

It happens. And also kind of proves the point that sometimes two rights can make a wrong.

Matt Spiegel 3:38

Yeah, Kevin Millar, by the way, also on that.

Vinny Rotino 3:41

Yeah, I mean, an incredible group.

Matt Spiegel 3:42

LeVon Hernandez. My guy, LeVon. Alphonse Seca. Yeah. I wonder if he had six fingers and six toes at that point. If you know, you know. That's how that works. No, Marshall.

Marshall Harris 3:56

I know him as a Detroit Tiger. There was a legendary interview.

Matt Spiegel 3:58

One of the greatest moments in SCORE history. I mean, Jesse Rogers made Sports Illustrated when he was here, and he said, how long have you had six fingers and six toes? And Antonio Alfonseca said, all my life.
