Welcome on into another edition of the I-Hopes podcast that Wind you hear in the background is Johnny Marks, who is calling live from what beach are you at John?

I'm not breaking wind, this is actual wind. I'm an ocean city New Jersey.

Oh nice dry town that sounds exciting.

Yeah well you know I got I got kids and they do have alcohol you can buy outside of

the outside of Ocean City, which we do.

So it's not dry in our house.

I do like.

I do like the beach during the summer when the Phillies are good because kind of like when you

watch you walk across the beach everyone has their radios on tuned into the Phillies and then

it just I don't know I love watching the Phillies at the beach for some reason. I do too. Growing up I can

picture this house that we used to rent almost every year at least a good like

four or five years in a row and it had this

deck out back but it had this long porch in the front and for whatever reason there's

just this this image captured in my head of a radio with Harry and Whitey on and

watch them with my grandfather.

So that's when the Phillies won the World Series,

that's kind of one of the things I thought about

after Bradledge gets to strike three

and thought of my grandfather and the shore and you're right it is it's

I remember the one year they were really good and I'd have a radio I'd probably go

about ten years or so I didn't have a radio so I got the app on my phone, the MLB, whatever,

at that app or whatever, and I'm listening to it via iPhone on the beach. It's awesome.
