This is the Dodden Tyler Radio Empire.

Fun fact here. Don Mattingly is a coach on the Blue Jays. Don Mattingly had been in the MLB since 1982. 14 is a player. 12 was a manager. 17 is a coach.

Now in over 40 years of MLB, he's headed to the World Series for the first time. Wow. Donnie Baseball. Donny Baseball had never been in the World Series. And I wouldn't have guessed that. I thought maybe back in the day with the Yanks or something like that, he was with, he made the World Series. But not, they sucked in the 80s. The Yankees did suck in the evening.

Yeah, the 80s, Yankees really sucked.

Yeah. Yeah, like not pirates suck, but they sucked. I didn't know. The pirates were good in the 80s for that matter. Jesus, take the wheel guy. The yolk. The yolk. Died in a plane crash. Oh, yeah. We did the story last week.

And now they said it was pilot air.

Yeah, pretty much, yeah.

Most airplane crashes are pilot. Yeah, true. True. I guess that's good to know. Except that's why you don't fly with, you know, Jim because he's just your buddy. Well, yeah, you want, like, I've, I fly five times. I want the guy who that's his everyday job.

I'd fly with John Travolta because he flies major jets and he's what they call instrument

rated.

Yeah, well, I assume this guy had a few touch and goes.

Oh, no, he probably flew a bunch times.

Landed it safely a few times?

Yeah.

The perfect example is John Kennedy, the junior.

I mean, he was just a stud, and he had flown a little bit, but he just had this arrogance

about him like a lot of people do with a rich and famous.

You know, he hopped his beautiful bride and her sister on that plane in the late 90s.

That was, he didn't, he wasn't instrument rated.

So he got lost into clouds and just wrecked and he was out over the ocean. Yeah, yeah. When he crashed, right? Yeah. Well, yeah, from like, he was flying from like Nantucket to, you know, but it was over the ocean for sure. Yeah. He was, I think he was island hopping. I think he was flying from New York to New York City somewhere to Nantucket.

I've flown in little planes with my dad when I was a kid. Yeah, you did. And your dad flew, right? Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean, he, you know, through the VA, he got his pilot's license. I'm surprised. I'm surprised you. He was probably 30-something when he got his pilot's license. I'm surprised your mom let you up in the plane with him. A lot of times in that situation, you would just, well, that's what you want to do, honey, fine, but you're not taking the kids up. You're surprised that go F yourself, Todd, mom? Yeah, but Todd was. Let him go up? there wasn't a political divide between Todd and his mom at

that point I think it was probably festering from a young age not at 12 or 13 no he was still the good
