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 D.P.H. Owen, Rothenberg. Rick doesn't have a primary care doctor. I don't think Alan does either. That doesn't make it any better for you. I actually think we use the same pediatrician. Alan's in his mid-50s. If you met this pediatrician, you would get rid of your primary care physician and use my pediatrician. He's that good. Do you know what the definition of pediatrician is? It doesn't matter. He's not equipped at the spleen. This is D.P.A.O. and Rothenberg. You walk out with a lollipop? On ESPN, New York. It's streaming live on YouTube. By the way, I love a lollipop. My barber gives that lollipops.

They're delicious.

Yeah, you play second base with one in your mouth if you want. What was that? I guess you can play second base with a lollipop in your mouth if you want. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Have I talked to you? Did that bother you? Or a roast beef sandwich. Well, where do we draw the line? I guess roast beef sandwich You start pulling out sandwiches out of your pockets

Can you imagine he takes like a canish out of his back pocket? Listen, there's time in between pitches. Maybe you get a little hungry you want a snack. Why not bring a roast beef sandwich? The thing I don't understand. It's the Yankees. Say what you want.

The Yankees, they hold themselves. They think they hold themselves to this higher echelon. We're better, right? We're different. We're the Yankee. You can't have a beard until lately. We handle our business. We don't win a World Series. It's a failed season. We're the Yankees. Yeah, your second basement out there with a lollipop?

Yeah.

Come on.

I guess usually the, I I guess usually there's no stick involved with the lollipop, but is it like a lozange? Well, no, the lozsonson doesn't have gum in it, and maybe it's a blowpop. You like to get the benefits of the gum at the end or delicious tootsie pop
