It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live for the Build Ford Tough Studio on the fan in CBS Sports Network. This is ironic because wasn't this a black guy with a bunch of white guys? This band? Wasn't it? A black singer with a bunch of white guys? I thought they were all black guys. Oh, they're all black guys? I think. I don't even know who this is.

Living color.

Living color.

I was going to say, that'd be perfect because you're the black guy with a bunch of white guys today. And we're making beautiful music together. Oh, I mean, this is usually how it is. For some reason, you know. It was all black guys. Oh, all black guys.

Okay, I just thought it was a black lead singer.

Well, good for them breaking through, you know?

I haven't seen it.

I realize I haven't seen it was a black lead singer. Well, good for them breaking through, you know?

I haven't seen, I realize, I haven't seen it in a while, Al.

You and Eddie, I haven't seen you.

It's been a little while, yeah. Yeah. I think the last time I talked to you was in a trip to Montana or something like that. Oh, in the summer, wow. It's been now wow.

Yeah.

That was this past summer that Bozeman trip?

Yeah.

I think we talked after that.

Did we a little bit?

Yeah.

Was it just a refraud? That was this past summer that Bozeman trip? Yeah. I think we talked after that. Did we a little bit?

Yeah.

Was it, just to refresh my memory, was it, did you, did you call the cops?

No, I had no, uh, in fact, I said it was the one city, Bozeman that I was ever in where I never felt like, let me keep my eye on this guy over here. Like there was no one that was a threat. Yeah. Okay. And I'm a frail man. I mean, everyone should be a threat. And then he came back to work so Willie and he's like, here we go. And the threat. And just like couldn't stay away from threats. Just can't shake it, right? It's tough. It just can't shake it. All right. The Red Pocket Mobile fan line is brought you by your new ultimate cell carrier Red Pocket Mobile. That's 888-808-1019. I'm going to get Joe in Parsipity before we talk about this Max Crosby trade disaster. Let's go to Joe. What's up, Joe? Good morning. Morning, guys. How are you? Good, man. What's up? So, you know, I feel the same way you do, Gia, about this WBC. You know, how about we got Tariq Scoobal, who's just on the last two Si Young saying, yeah, I'm only good for one game. I can help you guys for one game, but then, you know, when the game starts to really matter, like, I'm out, you know? And then he said he agonized over the decision. He didn't sleep. Well, that's probably because you're doing the wrong thing. You're staying with the team. You can't leave the team. Yeah, I mean, listen, it is tricky, Joe, because this is a guy who's going into a free agent year and it's one time to get the generational wealth. The issue that I have is don't try to tell me it's an important thing if this is the way you're going about it. Like, if it's not the most important thing, then okay, then tell me it's not the most important thing. But, you know, the way that this is marketed and the way that they're trying to come off of the Olympics,

like this is the big deal and the way that Rob Manfred stuffing this into our face, like it's such a huge deal. It's not if these guys are protecting themselves as opposed to actually playing in it. And Team USA seems to be doing that more than any of the other teams that actually have real players on it. Can't agree more. Maybe we've got to do this during the middle of the season, but then people won't want to do that either. Well, I'd prefer that, though. Baseball is weird. Why do you prefer in the middle of the season? Because it just, there's something about, thanks, Joe. There's something about playing tournament type thing? No, no, no, just get rid of the... It's once every three years. So, you know, once every three years, you don't have an All-Star game. And Jerry proposed this the other day, and it just makes more sense. There's something about prior to the season, and maybe it's because we went through the Edwin-Diaz thing, three years ago when he heard himself and was out for the year. He tore his ACL, right? Yeah, or was it an Achilles, whatever it was. He was doing whatever he was doing, celebrating. But, you know, before the season and thinking, oh, my God, my season is over now because of this. Now, we might feel the same way, you know, if it's, if it happens in the middle of the season.
