Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Day Vibes: Yankees’ and Mets’ Performances

Yankees:

• The hosts revel in the Yankees’ near-perfect 7-0 win the night before.
• Strong praise for Max Fried’s pitching: "Six and a third, two hits, no runs, four strikeouts. Don, that's going to make you feel good if you're a Yankee fan." (Peter, 02:46)
• The line-up gets applause, notably for production from the bottom of the order. Even with Aaron Judge quiet, “You're able to win games going away and not relying on one or two offensive guys to get it done. Just a great start for the Yankees.” (Don, 04:38)
• Alan notes the importance of a fast start: “It just feels good to get off to a good start. So that was, at least for me, enjoyable.” (Alan, 02:16)
• The offense’s versatility is discussed, with Don pointing out the ability to string together hits and not be overly reliant on home runs (31:35).

Mets:

• The Mets are pounding the Pirates in a slow-paced, high-offense contest (“this could end up being like a 12–10 game...has all over it.” — Peter, 05:20).
• Don reminds listeners the Pirates are improved this year, having spent money in the offseason. “Certainly this is not your same old Pirates…” (Don, 05:40)
• Skepticism about Mets’ pitching but optimism about offense. “They didn't get the pitching they were looking for, but they're hitting the ball and so far, so good for the Mets.” (Don, 04:16)
• Running commentary on the game’s pace, with laughter at its grind, “slow as molasses” (Griffin, 28:36).

2. Watching Baseball on Netflix: Frustrations and Critique

• All three hosts share gripes about Netflix’s first big baseball broadcast: endless pregame promos, awkward attempts to appeal to non-baseball fans, and tech annoyances.
• Rosenberg: “Every time it felt like the game was about to start, they kept teasing it—coming up first pitch, coming up...nope, another promo” (Peter, 08:10).
• Alan and Peter note the intrusive “cross-promotion” aspect and the challenge of juggling games between streaming outlets:
  • “Even then...with the little stupid score bug where you can’t read it because the print’s so small, even on a large screen.” (Alan, 15:03)
• Don observes, “You're not getting that audience...the casual fan is not going to be on a Wednesday watching a seven–nothing baseball game...entertain your baseball fans.” (Don, 13:11)
• The hosts miss traditional viewing habits: “The beauty of the last channel button—glorious last channel button that will have to now be retired.” (Alan, 16:29)
• Alan sharply divides broadcast vs. production: “The broadcast was excellent. All the crap around it was garbage, unnecessary garbage.” (Alan, 16:49)
• Humorous aside about Bert Kreischer’s constant presence and lack of true comic relief: “I would expect there to be a lot of funny. There was not much funny.” (Alan, 09:50)

3. Drop Madness Returns

• The annual “Drop Madness” event kicks off, sparking enthusiastic debate over iconic soundbytes (21:04–24:27).
• Matchups are presented for listeners to vote on via Twitter, with memorable drops like, “You got the job!” and “I was pooping in my pants” (Don, 22:16–24:03).
• Alan: “Ladon James might be one of the most brilliant…” (Alan, 21:48)

4. Knicks & NYC Sports Soap Opera

• Callers and hosts briefly pivot to Knicks news and NBA playoff anxiety.
• Alan addresses social media drama between Josh Hart and Stephen A. Smith (33:10), noting:
  • “This stuff kind of makes me laugh...He [Stephen A.] wants to be proven wrong, though.” (Alan, 34:02)
  • Don breaks down the fan/critic dynamic: “Fans being critical of their own team...players believe well, if you admit you're a fan then what are you killing us for?” (Don, 35:15)
• Alan points out the playoff “dragon slayer” lurking in the East, “One of these, there’s a couple of teams that we're not talking about or paying attention to that's playing their best basketball of the season right now...There's a Dragon Slayer.” (Alan, 36:51)

5. NYC Life, Show Banter & Radio Inside Jokes

• Alan shares story about his iPad frustration—“I did this as my daughter threw my iPad across the room at one point.” (Alan, 02:15)
• Don’s travails watching games from Nashville, missing NBC due to hotel disputes (39:54).
• Banter about broadcast partners—Matt Vasgersian's hustle across networks: “He’s got a peacock deal, and he’s got a Netflix deal, and MLB Network.” (Peter, 40:39)
• Lighthearted ribbing over morning weight check rumors and “fights” between Don and Peter: “I called you a liar. Big deal.” (Don, 20:14)
• Alan’s on-air “bad word” snafu, and Don’s son’s reaction: “My son should not be subjected to this filth… because of you.” (Don, 49:24)
• Meta-commentary on multitasking radio life, with Peter handling HR calls during breaks: “You know, when you finally get close to the finish line, you cannot bail on that conversation.” (Peter, 47:02)

[Peter Rosenberg]

divorce my wife and have my kids bleed out. No, because the Giant game's on. Otherwise I'm not a real fan.

[Alan Hahn]

What kind of fan are you? Not a good one.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And Rosenberg, the Peter haters who call stupid. The Peter fans who call very bright.

[Don Hahn]

This isn't North Dakota. This is New York.

[Podcast Announcer]

This is Don, Han and Rosenberg.

[Peter Rosenberg]

The best threesome I've ever heard on

[Podcast Announcer]

ESPN New York and streaming live on YouTube.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, 301 in the big city. As the great Don Legreco would. And he will say he's here. Don Legreca. So is Alan Hahn. I am Peter Rosenberg. This is Don Hahn and Rosenberg. It is opening day in major league Baseball.

[Don Hahn]

Opening day like it's supposed to be.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. 70 degrees plus in New York City. This is how you do it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And more than one facta game. That feels like a Bert Kreischer comedy show. All right. It's just a whole array of baseball games, including your NY Mets who are currently up 64 on the Pirates like you dream about in the 5th. We are one game into a Yankee season. So far they are as perfect as perfect could be sitting there. 7 Nothing win last night like you dream about.

[Alan Hahn]

Gorgeous.

[Peter Rosenberg]

A beautiful pitching performance. Aaron Judge, not exactly what you were hoping for, but guess what, you can live with it when you want to know, right?

[Alan Hahn]

Alan on yeah, no, I'm not going to complain but it's certainly like it's the only blemish on what was a glorious open to the season for the Yankees. Bottom of the order, getting some action early on. It just, you know, it's a feel good start. I know there's only 161 to go.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's right.

[Alan Hahn]

We really, you know, breaking them all down. This was a big one. But you know how it is getting off to a good. It just feels good. Right? Just it feels good to get off to a good start. So that was, at least for me, enjoyable. Other than the fact that toggling between Celtics, Thunder and that game on Netflix was enough for me to literally, and I did this as my daughter threw My iPad across the room at one point.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, you're one point. Wow. Full iPad throw.

[Alan Hahn]

Just Frisbee right across the room. I got to spackle a little bit this weekend. Got a hole there.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, either way, Max Freed, in spite of your anger, six and a third, two hits, no runs, four strikeouts. Don, that's going to make you feel good if you're a Yankee fan that's much more excited about what this rotation could be this year.

[Don Hahn]

Well, you're always worried about, all right, the back end of the bullpen. You're worried about the bottom of the order. You're worried about, you know, Grisham. Is he going to be somebody that's stealing money this year, landlocking the prospects? Listen, one game does not solve everything. There's still 161 games to go, but it's all we have to go on. And you got to love what you saw. Great pitching performance. You know, Logan Webb is not nobody. Logan Webb is an ace. He's a really good pitcher. And the Yankees, you know, raked in the early portion of the game and took care of business. Alan mentioned the only blemish was Aaron Judge. I look at that as a good thing. You're able to put up a seven spot and get nothing out of your best offensive player. You know, Judge is going to judge, you know, so there's going to be times he's going to carry the team, but you see five, nothing, and you're like, okay, what did Judge do? You know, because I'm out and about here in Nashville. That's the one thing about Netflix, and we'll get into the broadcast, is that there is something about the portability of being able to be, you know, at Tootsies with a band playing.

[Alan Hahn]

Look at you.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh, wow.

[Don Hahn]

Having a good time in Nashville. And, oh, by the way, you know, watching. Watching the Yankees, and that's pretty cool.

[Caller or Guest]

So even though.

[Don Hahn]

What did I. What did I drop?

[Alan Hahn]

Tootsies said you went to Tootsies?

[Don Hahn]

Come on. Well, I mean, it's not an exclusive place. There was no. But you hit the rope. I had to go through.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But you were on Broadway.

[Alan Hahn]

You hit the spot. It was nice.

[Don Hahn]

No, you. You hit the. You hit the spot. Did you go to the opera? I. I did not know.

[Alan Hahn]

Oh, wow.

[Don Hahn]

I'm not a big country music fan.

[Alan Hahn]

You don't have to be. It's history.

[Don Hahn]

But. No, I understand the history. I went to the Ryman Auditorium, walk by that and get the whole vibe of the city. I love the city. It's one of My favorite stops in the NHL.

[Alan Hahn]

Nice.

[Don Hahn]

But you know, you see five nothing and you're like, all right, did Judge hit a grand slam? What did Judge do? And to see that he's not involved in at all. To me, that's a good thing, that you're able to win games. Going away and not relying, you know, on one or two offensive guys to get it done. So just, just a, just a great start for the Yankees. Good start here for the Mets. They put up a five spot, they knock, you know, Skeens out, and he doesn't even get out of the first inning short. So really, I mean, the Yankees went up against aces and look great. So good start for both teams. Hopefully the Mets can hold on here for the win. They didn't get the pitching they were looking for, but they're hitting the ball and so far, so good for the Mets and definitely good for the Yankees.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, the Mets performance so far, feeling much more Mets. Like, Like I could see this score right now, Don. The game's moving slow as can be. There's already like, what, 10 runs. This could end up being like a 1210 game. Has all over it.

[Alan Hahn]

The bottom of the first. It took forever that inning. Like that. That took a ton of time.

[Don Hahn]

I will say this, though, you know, you take a look at the Pirates and the Pirates are like, oh, you should beat them up. This Pirates team decided to spend some money during the off season and they went out and got Lao. He's got a couple of home runs. And many people think the Pirates are a team that could win the Central and possibly be a wild card team. So certainly this is not your same old Pirates or at least projected to be. But you're right, they're not, you know, not cruising, but they're. They're getting offense, which is always something you concern yourself about. Peralta, not great, but still enough to at least have a 64 win. But you're right, Peter. We're still a long way from the finish line here, and this could end up being a track meet before it's all over.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I was trying to find low becomes the first player to hit 2. It's not low.

[Don Hahn]

It's Lao.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's. I have to tell you, the lack

[Alan Hahn]

of patience in his voice there means that you are already on. On his nerves.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Do you realize the level of anger and judgment in that, Don?

[Don Hahn]

Well, that's, That's. He was being that guy as much as you. He could be frustrated with, like, simple mistake. That's not a simple mistake. At least at that.

[Peter Rosenberg]

At that time, it's low and Lao and.

[Don Hahn]

Come on. Really?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, that's pretty early on in the low Lao conversation. Can I hear it again? I want to hear the anger again.

[Alan Hahn]

Listen to it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Low becomes the first player to hit low.

[Don Hahn]

It's Lao.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's not low. It's loud.

[Alan Hahn]

But the way he did joking. But it sounded like it was like the third mistake you made in that moment.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Alan Hahn]

And he was just like, no, that's wrong too, Murray.

[Don Hahn]

Well, that I can understand. He know you. Casey Stengel is. I can understand.

[Alan Hahn]

Yes.

[Don Hahn]

Well, let's face it. I really can't understand it. Being angry at anything.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Right. Not that.

[Alan Hahn]

No.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Only me liking one battle after another.

[Don Hahn]

But if you. Well, I.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, no, don't.

[Don Hahn]

Thought it was a fun back and forth. Well, I enjoyed it. I wasn't.

[Caller or Guest]

I don't.

[Alan Hahn]

Let's. It's too early. Come on.

[Don Hahn]

There were serious allegations thrown out, but I don't think at any point I was being condescending.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, you never. You never never did.

[Caller or Guest]

It's not low.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's not.

[Alan Hahn]

Let's get. Let's get back to the low. Laughing Spud.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Murray. So Michael presumably feeling pretty good today after his janky game. And of course he'll get back after it with the Yankees tomorrow. Now we have to talk some about the actual broadcast. And you know, I tried to go back and find the first pitch from thing. I never showed it. Don. Did they ever show it on tv? The stupid hand?

[Alan Hahn]

No, no, it never even happened. I never bothered. I had no interest to see it. I went. I went to see the start of the game and that took another 20. Something like every time it felt like the game was about to start. And my God, they kept teasing it coming up first. Coming up. And it's like every time it's like, nope. We got another promo. Another promo, another promo. Who's this now?

[Peter Rosenberg]

And you know what I thought was the most? There were a few. Let me say some positive things. I think El Duncan's a tremendous talent. Great post that they have. Netflix has her for all their major events. It'll be the boxing, the mma.

[Alan Hahn]

Very good.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Hire the guy who climbed the building a couple of months ago. Ls on all of it.

[Commercial Voice]

Great.

[Peter Rosenberg]

The booth I thought was tremendous. I. I think CC is gonna fit right in. The baseball was super soft.

[Alan Hahn]

He's really good. Like, love a scourge all itself, no problem. Overall, booth and the broadcast of the actual game was excellent.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But here's here, the one that really jumps out you have the obvious stuff like Jameis Winston. Netflix has to shove Bert Kreischer down your throat. Why every day, like, I'm sorry, guys, I'm not a Bert Kreischer guy. I'm not saying I hate him, but I don't need him at every single sporting event I ever see.

[Alan Hahn]

Okay, first. First question I'm going to have comes from the guy with the naive question,

[Peter Rosenberg]

I'm here for you. Gotcha.

[Alan Hahn]

Who the hell is that?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Bert Kreischer is a really big, in certain worlds, touring comedian, okay? He has a festival. Well, listen, Don, you're in a place where he would be big. His show in Nashville, he did it in like a small minor league baseball stadium with 25,000 people. He's a big. He is a big touring comic. Okay?

[Alan Hahn]

That's what I needed to know. He's a big touring comic, so I would expect there to be a lot of funny. There was not much funny.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No.

[Alan Hahn]

He grabbing a beer and sitting out in the boat and all that stuff. I'm like, come on. Like, what are we doing?

[Peter Rosenberg]

We'll be happy. Though he did wear his shirt the whole time. Normally he takes his shirt off, so his shirt was on. So number one, I don't need that. Jameis Winston don't know who it's for. I'm not saying he's not talented. I'm not saying he couldn't have a good broadcast career, but they're making his. The bit of him being just a complete goofball and I just didn't need it. I don't know who it was satisfying. The thing that really was more interesting, though, to me in terms of what these big streamers do, because they have the money to do it. Guys, I don't need Barry Bonds. I don't. It's not.

[Alan Hahn]

He did deliver some news, though. He did give you something.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I think it was made up, but I think we'll get to it.

[Alan Hahn]

We'll get to it. But at least he gave you something. Like, at least there was something there. And I mean, he did, you know, he's. He's a well known former Giant and they're playing the Giants.

[Peter Rosenberg]

True.

[Alan Hahn]

There's that too, for that piece, you

[Peter Rosenberg]

know, Would have been fine though, him at the desk.

[Alan Hahn]

Completely understand. Yeah, it's.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's.

[Alan Hahn]

It's the equivalent of Reggie Miller at, you know, at NBA coverage. It's like, no, no, it's not you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, you are. Don. Don, come with me on this journey, please. Yes, Reggie, you don't. It's Too much Reggie for you. But Reggie, Reggie is objectively pretty good as a color guy. Barry Bonds, in all of his time since leaving baseball, no one has been clamoring to put a mic in Barry Bonds hands. Like I just. His personality isn't really attractive. He kind of always seems like he has an attitude. Like he, that's. He's been prickly his entire career. He's also, also guys, I think Barry Bonds might be at that level of ball player where I don't need to hear what your explanations on baseball are because you're too good to even speak it to mortal human beings. Like we don't even see baseball the same way as Barry Bonds. I just, I, it's. He was the piece I didn't need.

[Alan Hahn]

Okay.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I. That in, in terms of that didn't

[Alan Hahn]

bother me nearly as much as the comedian Bert Kreischer. Yeah. And.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And just what about Jameis Winston just sitting with wrestlers during an inning with the USO's.

[Alan Hahn]

You knew that was just going to be again, just, just, just again just drawing in non traditional fans, you know, with, with other things to do because it's a slow game and we want to keep you watching. This was not for baseball people. And unfortunately more and more national broadcasts in all sports are kind of letting you know, Die hards. We know we got you. We're trying to keep the ones that aren't interested. We're trying to keep them interested so we give them other things. We dangle all the little stuff in front of them so they keep watching.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's not happening.

[Alan Hahn]

I agree. I agree. But I'm saying I think that's the mentality. By the way, the, the cab and the trolley and the, and the, the, the dancing. It what?

[Peter Rosenberg]

The basket. The basketball ball style intros to basically baseball.

[Alan Hahn]

That. Peter, exactly what you just said. That felt very NBA All Star game. It was wide.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It was cringe.

[Alan Hahn]

Dude. It's so goofy. But we're old men. What do we know?

[Don Hahn]

Holy Grail about it. Like something Holy Grail about it. You're trying to capture something that you just. It doesn't exist. You can't do it.

[Alan Hahn]

Good point.

[Don Hahn]

Like the casual fan is not going to be on a Wednesday watching a seven nothing baseball game. That's fucked. Or one.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

You're not getting that audience to watch that. You know. So what are you going for? You have baseball fans entertain your baseball fans. You want to sprinkle in promotion. I get it. That Netflix is about. They're trying to get promotion. I watched Monday Night Football. That's what Monday Night Football did with Howard Cosell. They bring in Burt Reynolds because he had a new sitcom coming on and they put him in the booth and they talked to him during the play.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, we can't act like this.

[Don Hahn]

Always done the cross promotion.

[Alan Hahn]

We get it right.

[Don Hahn]

But trying to entertain an audience that doesn't exist, that's what it feels like. The people. You aren't sitting there at 10 o' clock at night on a. Watching a baseball game. That's a blowout. They're not. So who are you entertaining? Who you. What you're doing is the actual people that are watching saying, can I have some baseball, please? And the other thing to start these damn games on time. The NFL has got it right. They go backwards. They want to do a big pregame. They started early, so come watch it. What? Watch it. 11:30. Watch at 10:00am but guess what? 101, we're kicking off.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That is true. That never changes.

[Don Hahn]

They know they're not going to get it. 10 that the game starts at 8 o' clock and then we'll suck you in for 25 minutes. It's a scam.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, it's. That. That was. That was another piece that I found super irritating.

[Alan Hahn]

Was.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And I of course have the cheap Netflix. That's the kind of guy that I am. And I could not get through the commercials I was trying to go back and watch. It was a nightmare.

[Alan Hahn]

And Peter, this was also happening because as I said, I was trying to watch another game as well. An NBA game on the league. Pass.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, I was watching that. Don't you worry.

[Alan Hahn]

And I.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Nice win for the Celtics, by the way.

[Alan Hahn]

Very impressive. Very impressive game for Boston and Tatum. Looked really good. But when you jump out of Netflix to go into NBA, you know, the NBA. Apple watch a game there. When you go back to Netflix, you know what happens goes back. Whether or not there's live action. You're going right to the commercials that you met. They force feed you commercials.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You have to see the commercial that

[Alan Hahn]

you have to watch. Like just to get. Just to get back into the action. You're like, what the hell? Like. So eventually I said, okay, one's going on the tv, one's going on the iPad. So the game went on the iPad. Because once you got to seven, now I'm like, all right, put it on the iPad. And even then, like. And I know probably a lot of it's a me problem lag and the commercial stuff and whatever I just picked up, I threw it across the room. I was like, that's it. I'm done. Done. Just. I can't, cannot. I can't watch it in my. On my big screen, by the way, with the little stupid. The, the score bug where you can't read it because the print's so small, even on a large screen. And so I can't do that and watch something else. And I can't even watch it on the iPad unless I've got like pristine WI fi, which by the way, I have kids at night when they're. You never have pristine WI fi when all the kids are home. So I like, that's the part that gets the most maddening. And I'm not going to apologize for being an old man who's used to watching on cable and last channel. The beauty of the last channel button, the glorious last channel button that will have to now be retired. But this is a reality we're all facing. But it doesn't mean that these broadcasters can't at least care a little bit about the audience in some way. Right?

[Peter Rosenberg]

I don't even think in some way.

[Alan Hahn]

Say what?

[Don Hahn]

Get.

[Alan Hahn]

Take the feedback and let's make it right. The broadcast was excellent. All the crap around it was garbage, unnecessary garbage.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And I understand it's what the job is. Netflix wants to promote all the other things. I guess I just don't get it because even from the standpoint of cross promotion, the people who have Netflix, I just don't know which audience you're trying to win over. It just to me seems like I don't think nobody is getting satisfied. Also, this is my random hot take I have for. For Netflix to be such a huge brand that it is the. The Netflix N as the mic flag. It ain't any hitting, right? No, it just doesn't look like anything. It looks like a random letter on a mic flag.

[Caller or Guest]

I don't like the score bug.

[Alan Hahn]

That's right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Alan Hahn]

With the tiny, with the tiny print.

[Caller or Guest]

Well, unless you have a big tv.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, I, I know, I know. John was bragging. Did you see the humble brag from Winthrop in the chat last night when Anthony pointed out that it was hard for him to see the score buck? He's like, yeah, I could see it on my 75 inch TV. I'm sure if you have like a 50, you probably can't.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, you know, that's Big John. Also, speaking of speaking of big.

[Don Hahn]

All right, Daddy war books money going to Disney now.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Now, speaking of big, did you guys hear about me getting crushed on the morning show today?

[Caller or Guest]

I Did not, pray tell.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, I got a text at 7am

[Caller or Guest]

oh, this morning show. No, I heard that. I was listening to it, so I thought you meant your morning show.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, no, no.

[Caller or Guest]

That's a possibility too. To be fair.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It is, but not like this. I mean, 7:00am I get a text from Dave saying, how much do you weigh?

[Caller or Guest]

Well, to be fair, yeah, it wasn't great.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So. So what can you tell us what happened?

[Caller or Guest]

Alright, so apparently it got around that you and Don were fighting again. And I'm listening to this, of course, because I'm up and I'm listening.

[Don Hahn]

That was nothing. Stop.

[Caller or Guest]

So I texted Dave, I said, that is a very, comparatively. That was a very harmless back and forth. And they said, why don't they just box to like to solve their quote unquote issues that you clearly both have?

[Peter Rosenberg]

This seems like a big stretch.

[Don Hahn]

We clearly don't have any issues.

[Caller or Guest]

I was, I'm. I'm kidding. So then they said, well, how does, how much do each of them weigh? And I think Pete, I think Rick said, Peter's definitely over 200 pounds.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Caller or Guest]

And. And Dave said, no way. I'll bet you breakfast that he's not. So everything was hinging on you telling them your weight. And when you said, I've been pretty fat lately. I think I'm quoting you right from your text. I didn't see the text.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Mm.

[Caller or Guest]

And he says it's probably over 200. Rick was happy because he was correct. And Rick said he carries it well, but I think he's over £200. So Rick was actually complimenting.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I gotta tell you, I'm not, I'm not really offended by this question.

[Caller or Guest]

Dave said, get on the. Dave said he should get on the scale and let us know for sure. Cause I owe you breakfast if not.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And I know that's when I ended. It was when Dave wrote me back. Can you get weighed quickly? I was like, no, I can't. This is the. I'm giving you. I probably weigh over 200 pounds. That's what you get. Thanks.

[Alan Hahn]

That's what you get.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah. I'm not, I'm not busting. I'm not going to get on the scale right now at 7:00am thank you. I'm dealing with my life. So that's what, that's what today. I don't. I don't know why they think me and Don are really angry because we had a little argument over a movie.

[Don Hahn]

It wasn't even an argument. I was just.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It was a discussion.

[Don Hahn]

I called you a liar. Big Deal.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So what Don said. Don doesn't believe the words that I say and called me a liar. That's it.

[Don Hahn]

But as affectionately and respectfully as one could.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I couldn't agree. Couldn't agree more. 1-800-919-3776. Getting things started here on the opening day of the baseball season. We're going to get to some calls. But before we do that, guys, it is a massive day for something we call drop madness.

[Alan Hahn]

Oh, wow. Let's hear it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I got to tell you, I'm as excited for drop madness as I've been in a long time. These matchups, it really speaks to the great job the committee did. We start out in the flub region. The winner looking to advance to the sweet 16. We have the seven seed.

[Don Hahn]

We're getting a lot of callers that are very confident. Ben Judicus was on. He's a little nervous. Jadakiss. Jadakiss. I'm sorry.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I would be Judicus.

[Don Hahn]

I'm Judy Kiss.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Up against the 15 seed, Satan Johns. That's right, Marco. Satan Johns is up against Ben Stiller's Judicus in the flub region.

[Caller or Guest]

Do you hate Ben Stiller?

[Don Hahn]

I'm gonna. I'll lay out. Since it caused so much controversy.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, you already. You already forced, you know, Ladani to move on into the second round, so you don't need to get a second one. That would be too much. Ladon James.

[Alan Hahn]

Ladon James might be one of the most brilliant

[Peter Rosenberg]

and little Marco, AKA Ladani.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, Ladani.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So the. The winner will move on there. You can vote on our Twitter page, dhrespn. We go to the funny region, and, you know, there's nothing like when two don yelling matchups get together. And that's exactly what we have here. This is an exceptional matchup. The two seed.

[Don Hahn]

You got the job. Yes.

[Alan Hahn]

Oh, what a moment.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Up against.

[Don Hahn]

I'll be licking the television screen. Licking it like it's ice cream.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I don't know. I literally.

[Alan Hahn]

No, no. You got the jobs winning.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Really? I love licking it like it's ice cream.

[Alan Hahn]

I get it. But you got the job.

[Don Hahn]

You got the job. Yeah.

[Caller or Guest]

Kevin Nagandi has no idea.

[Alan Hahn]

Understand that he's reacting to a man wearing a suit. That's just all It's.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's it.

[Don Hahn]

Espn.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

It's network on network crime.

[Alan Hahn]

Oh, absolutely.

[Don Hahn]

The television screen. Look at it like it's ice cream.

[Peter Rosenberg]

What was. What was that about? Why was he licking the television like it's ice cream?

[Alan Hahn]

It's hard to imagine right that's why I won't win.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Now this, this matchup, to me, this next one is really fascinating. The two seed in the troubling. You suck Pusick.

[Caller or Guest]

Ooh.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I mean you talk about it from a usage standpoint, one of the great drops in the tournament. Maybe it'll go down as one of the greatest of all time. But it's up against, you guessed it, the hardest foe in the tournament. And that is Don yelling about anything.

[Don Hahn]

Say his name.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Which ironically is about Anthony. Yes, it's Anthony versus Anthony.

[Alan Hahn]

It's one host killing him and the other host lifting up.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, Unreal stuff. But you have to.

[Alan Hahn]

This will say a lot about our audience.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But no, you.

[Don Hahn]

It's a dynamic of the show.

[Alan Hahn]

It really is.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's truly, it's, it's, it's. People should be voting what brings them the most joy. Okay. That's all this is about. We go to the nether region.

[Alan Hahn]

Another, another.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Just in my, in my opinion, incredible matchup. TNT 955. I cannot wait for this.

[Alan Hahn]

The last time I called up, I was not high.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I was pooping in my pants.

[Caller or Guest]

Really amazing.

[Alan Hahn]

Really truly amazing.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Stephen in Melville though is up against my favorite drop in the field.

[Alan Hahn]

Take it off. Take it all off.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I mean, are you kidding?

[Caller or Guest]

Wow.

[Peter Rosenberg]

These matchups today.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Stephen pooping his pants against.

[Alan Hahn]

Take it off. Take it all off.

[Don Hahn]

FDIC thanks for listening to the Don Hahn and Rosenberg podcast.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I didn't listen to anything you just said.

[Podcast Announcer]

Catch the show on demand whenever you want. Just subscribe to us wherever you get your podcasts.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Don Hahn and Rosenberg. It does feel like going back to Cali kind of weather today. You know what I'm saying? Like you could. I'll say this, Don. It's nice enough tonight that you could. You could blast this with the windows down and feel pretty good about yourself.

[Don Hahn]

Did you go on the roof today?

[Peter Rosenberg]

No. You guys aren't here. It's not right. You know what I mean? I will say this, though. Calandra's dropped off some more goods today. I'm trying to get my life together. And here comes Calandra's to celebrate with Barton Carlin. They brought some delicious treats for the start of the major league season. So you missed out on that as well.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, no shot it's going to last till Monday.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Last till Monday.

[Caller or Guest]

No, it's not. It's gone now.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, it's not. It's right now. There's just, like, loafs of bread sitting there.

[Caller or Guest]

No, there's the giant Cakes are still there.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, that's cake too, huh?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, they brought Yankee cake, cake and met cake.

[Caller or Guest]

Yankee cake was pretty good.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You wouldn't touch the metcake.

[Alan Hahn]

You'd expect the Yankee.

[Caller or Guest]

Peter, you saw what they look like. I can't. After you have one slice of one of them. You can't.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, they're very, they're very dense. It's. But shout out to Calandras. We're working on. Working on something awesome for World cup that I'm super excited about as well. Hey, guys, you want to talk to the people, please?

[Alan Hahn]

No.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah. All right, let's go to the Griftster. Griffin, what do you got?

[Caller or Guest]

First off, the Met. This Met game is going to end in the Sweet 16 is going to

[Don Hahn]

be all over with.

[Caller or Guest]

The grind of this game is. Is slow as molasses.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, it's as slow as traffic on the LIE because of the Queens Boulevard construction. My God, that was brutal.

[Caller or Guest]

You're not going to be on 880 today. We already know that.

The way this game's going, there's no

way you're being on 880 today.

[Alan Hahn]

Yep.

[Don Hahn]

Not with a 30 minute postgame. That's going to be hard.

[Caller or Guest]

I know. You know, you only take out of last night's game is it's always been the Yankees are top heavy. They're top heavy of their lineup. The big, the great thing yesterday is they got production from the bottom of the lineup. And if they can pick production from Wells and McMahon and Caballero in the bottom of that lineup and they can get the production from the bottom of the line, that's huge because you know what you're going to get from Judge and up there and Stanton stuff. But if you're going to get production from the bottom of the order, then they're not as top heavy as always. And that would be scary. If they can get production from the bottom of the order and last night was a great sign. Yes, they got to keep it going, was only one game. But if they can keep getting the production from the bottom of the order like last night, then that's great for this team moving forward.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, I mean, that's not everything you want. They.

[Don Hahn]

Their offense was not a problem for them last year. I mean, that, that's why they ran it back. Now once you get to the playoffs, there's always been an issue there. But you know, up and down the lineup, it may not be the circular lineup you had back in the dynasty era. Well, but they could score runs. The question is, will there Be anybody in the division that can match them or surpass them offensively and how they'll match up within their division against the Red Sox and their pitching. And the Blue Blue Jays were a problem for them last year, but you knew they were going to score runs and you knew they had a great rotation. So the question is just going to be, will they hit when it's absolutely necessary. And that's in the playoffs. But Alan, you're a Yankee fan. Were you concerned about this offense?

[Alan Hahn]

No, no regular season.

[Don Hahn]

I should say.

[Alan Hahn]

No, not at all. It's always going to be about the pitching. Seeing Stanton, you know, start off the way he started off is really, really promising. He just always seems to be ready to go in a big moment, which is, you know, which is great. But the bottom of the order stuff, I mean, you know, between Jazz and Caballero, you know, you're kind of hoping you're going to get some athleticism down, down at that part of the order. Seeing Wells, you know, hit early is good. Like those are all good things Grisham had, you know, do RBIs like that. Yeah, it's, it's, it's not a matter of any, you know, of them being able to score. It's going to be the pitching, it's going to be the, you know, the bullpen and how long everything lasts, how healthy they can get with their arms. And by the way, like the rest of division's really good. You better have a good offense.

[Don Hahn]

And the other thing too is, are they too reliant on the home run? Can they string hits together? And you saw them have a big first inning where it wasn't no home run, you know, some grand slam home run or back to back home runs.

[Alan Hahn]

No, no, McMahon's was seeing eye ground ball like that's what that was. And it scored two runs, the ball

[Don Hahn]

to play and I. And I think so it's how you do it, how often you do it, more than if they can do it right again, just one game. But everything you were looking for, I think came a basis.

[Alan Hahn]

Completely agree.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Let's try good old Manny in Flushing. What's up, Manny?

[Don Hahn]

What's up man?

[Caller or Guest]

Hey guys. Hey, what's up guys? How y' all doing?

[Don Hahn]

Good, good, good, man.

[Caller or Guest]

Listen, great game by the Yankees. Too bad didn't watch it, but I mean I was, I was, I mean I didn't watch it, but. But I just, I'm glad that my team win. Good luck for your mess though, by the way, John. Hopefully good luck too, by the Way. Tonight. Tonight, the next big game against Charlotte. Two teams from the best record since late January.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest]

I want to ask you this, my man Han, what are your thoughts on Josh Hard clapping back at your boy Stephen A. Smith?

[Alan Hahn]

What did he say about Stephen A. I didn't see the quote. I saw Stephen A. Tell him.

[Caller or Guest]

He really. Basically. So he's basically. Joshua told Stephen A. To shut the hell up and he called him a part time Knicks fan.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, I mean, if you want to get engaged in it, right. Like that's. I'm trying to find the quote. I'm finding the quote now and I'll. I'll read it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, yeah, you can't. You can't wade into waters like this without information.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, you want to know exactly what's said.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's right.

[Alan Hahn]

Me?

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Alan Hahn]

Like I want to get your profession.

[Don Hahn]

I can tell you right now. I have it here.

[Peter Rosenberg]

All right, we have Jacob's got it.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, I got it too.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Alan Hahn]

There you go. Thank you, though. Jake, he said, I think Stephen A, as a part time Knicks fan needs to shut the hell up. He barely knows guys that are on the team and that's going back and forth because I think Stephen A. Told Josh Hart to shut the hell up. Josh Hart was defending Mikhail Bridges from Stephen A's criticism, right?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes, because Steven said, I need Josh Hart to be quiet. Seven picks for a dude who can't get you 10 points per game.

[Alan Hahn]

And, and really where this, this is all, this is the Villanova guys. Because it actually started with Stephen A. Blaming Jalen Brunson for Mikhail Bridges even being here. And the, and the five picks that the Knicks gave up and he put that on Brunson. So Stephen's been doing this for the last couple of weeks. He's been kind of just throwing snowballs at them. And finally now you're starting to see some response, at least from Josh. But I, like I said, this stuff kind of makes me laugh. Like I don't take any of this stuff so seriously. It's. It's a matter of Stephen A. Wanting the Knicks to prove him wrong. I can guarantee. I talked to him a couple of times over the last couple of weeks about the Knicks. I've gotten to run into him doing get up when he's getting ready for first take. And you can tell, like he's like a lot of Knicks fans. It's this, the anxiety of they got to do it this year and there was a time where he didn't really feel like they were playing well and he's like, you know, I don't know if they have it in him. And then his frustrations coming out about all the different pieces. But him blaming Jalen Brunson for Mikhail Bridges being here is where this all started. And now he kept poking the bear, poking the bear, and he got the response that he's looking for. He wants to be proven wrong, though. Everybody understand that Stephen A. Wants to be proven wrong. Can they do it?

[Don Hahn]

This is, this is unfortunately, the waters that you delve into when you admit that you're a fan of a team, right? So, you know, Stephen A. Says he's a Knick fan. So players assume, all right, well, we should be get a soft landing from the guy. He's a fan. That's why he goes after him saying that he's a part time Knick fan. Because these players believe, well, if you admit you're a fan, then what are you killing us for? But Stephen's got to honor his job and be critical. And I also have no problem with fans being critical of their own team. But sometimes when a player hears that you're a fan, they think they, they got you in their pocket. Steven's not in anybody's pocket. He's going to tell you how he feels about it, right? Regardless of whether he's rooting for the Knicks or not, he's got a job to do and he does it well and he tries to stir it up. And it's also another example of guys just get the damn playoffs started already. You know, I mean, it's, it's not anybody's fault. It's just like, all right, we know what we know now. Let's go, let's get, let's get it

[Alan Hahn]

done because, yeah, but you still got

[Don Hahn]

to figure out regular scenes going to matter.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, you know, it is going to matter because it's going to matter how they finish. It's going to matter where they finish, who they play in the first round, who other teams play in the first. I'm telling you guys right now, I'm putting this out there right now. There's a dragon slayer in the bottom of this conference, Atlanta, maybe even Charlotte. There's a dragon slayer. One of the top four is going to get knocked out. One of the top four is going to get knocked out. Because one of these, there's a couple of teams that we're not talking about or paying attention to that's playing their best basketball of the season right now. And they just had, you know, they weren't good at the start, whatever it was. And that's why they'll be either in a play in or. Or a six seed. But one of those down there, there's a Dragon slayer in. In the. Laying in the weeds and you, whoever. That's what I'm waiting to see. So this seating is going to be important. Matchups are going to be important.

[Don Hahn]

That I agree with. But as far as us learning anything about this team between now and the end of the season, because if, you know, if you lose, it's all, well, doesn't matter if you win. It's like, oh, well, it doesn't matter because it's not the postseason. I think we know we don't know how good this team is, but I don't think we're going to have any kind of a feel based on these final dozen games that's going to change the mind. The pressure's still going to be on them. Is it the same old Knicks? I don't know if anybody's going to get their opinions changed over the next few games, but you're right. From a. From a positioning standpoint, I do agree it's going to be important to finish strong for where you finish in the standings. But are you going to change hearts and minds until you do it in the playoffs?

[Peter Rosenberg]

No. It is interesting though, because watching the Celtics thunder last night. The Celtics are a team, you know, two years removed from a championship. Playing a team that's one year move from a championship. And those two teams sure looked like they care about what's going on right now.

[Alan Hahn]

I said I didn't like the Thunders game at all.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, the Thunder weren't great.

[Alan Hahn]

Did not like them at all in that game. And they're trying to get J. Will back. They're trying to like work him back in. He was not good. I didn't like their game. They got a little arrogant early with their threes and then they got loose defensively. That's why I look at the Thunder and it's like they're really, really good. But I think anybody can get got this year. You know, they're the ones that you would. You're going to put at the top of the list of power rank the teams that can win a championship this year because they're just that good. But I don't think they're infallible. No, I didn't like their game. I love the Celtics play the Celtics

[Peter Rosenberg]

down early and they look dug in yesterday. That was a team that cared at a crowd that care. Everyone was in on that game.

[Alan Hahn]

No Doubt. Yeah. And Tatum had his best game.

[Peter Rosenberg]

The Celtics are going to present some interesting.

[Alan Hahn]

Yep.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Scenarios in the Eastern. Mets up 9 5. Don.

[Don Hahn]

Oh, 9 2, 5.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And because it's the Mets, I still think this game's wide open. Sixth inning. By the way, we're never getting on actual radio.

[Don Hahn]

Forget it.

[Alan Hahn]

God. At least at the bottom of the six, but jeez. Oh, it's out of here.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, you're way ahead of me. What just happened?

[Alan Hahn]

What's the kid's name? Is it Benj?

[Don Hahn]

Ben show his first homer of the year.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

Makes it 10 5.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. Sent that. Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, I'm up there now. I see it.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, it's Ben. Yeah. There you go, good friend.

[Don Hahn]

I'm. What? I'm so disgusted. I'm watching it on the computer.

[Commercial Voice]

Okay.

[Don Hahn]

Meaning I'm watching the, you know, the game day, the stick figures.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Don Hahn]

Even though the game is on NBC, guess what? The hotel I'm in.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Is.

[Don Hahn]

I guess they get their TV from Dish Network and Dish Networks in a contract with NBC. So I don't get NBC on the tv.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, they're in a dispute as we speak.

[Don Hahn]

They're in a dispute as we.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So is this game. This game is on national television. NBC.

[Don Hahn]

That's correct.

[Alan Hahn]

I'm watching on NBC.

[Caller or Guest]

And you know who's calling it?

[Alan Hahn]

Who's calling it? Matt Vascursion guy. What?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes.

[Alan Hahn]

He.

[Caller or Guest]

Yes.

[Alan Hahn]

So he red eyed to New York.

[Caller or Guest]

He has. He, he figured out the airport system apparently, and he got here in time to call this game.

[Alan Hahn]

Wait, this guy's getting to getting checks out of. In both hands.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So he's got a peacock deal and he's got a Netflix deal and MLB Network. And MLB Network.

[Caller or Guest]

God bless.

[Alan Hahn]

All right, we got to get him on. We got to get him on.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And so he doesn't have. But he just does national games. Right. I believe he doesn't also have a team. Right.

[Alan Hahn]

He's got everything.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You think he's got a team too?

[Caller or Guest]

He does.

[Alan Hahn]

How does he not have a team?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, how do you have a team?

[Don Hahn]

Back in the day, I thought he did the brewers back in the day. Yeah.

[Alan Hahn]

He's got to have a team. Or if he doesn't have one, maybe he had one. But I mean, how else did he get started?

[Caller or Guest]

He was angels from 21 to 25

[Peter Rosenberg]

and now he's out.

[Alan Hahn]

So that's last year.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But is he done? Was that the end? Because to start the year, that's. That's a crazy. I mean, if you have, if you have an MLB Network Peacock and Netflix. Although Netflix only doing what? How many games were the Netflix Netflix package?

[Caller or Guest]

It's hard to know. I think that's it. They had the Home Run Derby.

[Peter Rosenberg]

They have that in the Home Run Derby.

[Caller or Guest]

And maybe the All Star Game.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, so that good.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh, then no Fox has the All Star Game. They would have the All Star Game.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah, that makes me feel better. I don't have to worry about Netflix anymore.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, no more. No more Bert Kreischer hosting your baseball game.

[Alan Hahn]

Can I address somebody?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Go ahead. Go ahead, Alan.

[Alan Hahn]

So just as I was looking for the Josh Hart quote on Twitter from Steve Popper of Newsday, who had it. Now, of course, all my mentions pop up and Eric says to stop. Says to me, stop hating on my Yankees. What? When did I hate the. When I hate on the Yankees, he said. But then he says this. So try to decipher this from here. Decode. We have the YES network. Sometimes we're on Prime Video, Fox, NBC, Apple tv, Netflix. One time we have the Gotham app. Will be just fine. Thank you. Can you help me with that?

[Peter Rosenberg]

I got nothing for you, buddy. I don't understand what he means.

[Alan Hahn]

I guess I am not intelligent enough to understand that.

[Don Hahn]

Well, I'm not sure he's intelligent or she's intelligent enough. Well, it's Eric, because it sounds to me like he believes you're killing the Yankees for being on Netflix. Had nothing to do with the Yankees.

[Alan Hahn]

Had nothing to do with the Yankees. It was. I was trying to watch the Yankees, which is my team.

[Don Hahn]

And you could have the Gotham sports app all you want, but. But it wasn't on the Gotham sports app last night. It's not going to be on when it's on Peacock or when it's on Amazon. Yeah, but nobody's killing the Yankees for Netflix. That's another weird thing.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. Okay, so it was weird. Okay, wait now, wait now. There's another one. Big issue with Alan Hunt. He's talking about Yankees and Judge. When did I talk about Judge?

[Don Hahn]

You sure this is from today?

[Alan Hahn]

I don't know. Where is this happening on Twitter? Are people listening? Like, are they listening to us or. I listen to the yesterday's podcast.

[Caller or Guest]

Guys, I think we have to address something. I'll be honest. Peter's involved here. As you can see, I'm Sure. You could see on the video, Peter has a lot going on here.

[Alan Hahn]

I'm not looking at this. I'm done.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I'm done.

[Caller or Guest]

I don't know. I don't know if that's true.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, I did it.

[Alan Hahn]

Are you sure?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah. Listen, you guys know what it's like. Have either of you ever had. I mean, Don. I feel like even. Even Don, who's averse to dealing with things like this, I'm sure has had to deal with it. Have you guys ever had something going on with our wonderful company that we love? We love Disney. But have you ever had something going on where, like, it requires HR conversations? And it feels like to do this, you're, like, you're. You're breaking into Superman's fortress of solitude, like, just to get basic information that you need for your life. Have either of you experienced this?

[Don Hahn]

Of course.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And you know that when you finally get close to the finish line, you cannot bail on that conversation. Like, to bail after the amount of HR work you do to get to the right person who has the answer.

[Alan Hahn]

Wait, wait.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You can't bail.

[Alan Hahn]

Are you pulling a Bart? Scott, are you on hold during the show?

[Peter Rosenberg]

I'm off. Well, I finished it.

[Caller or Guest]

I had flashbacks.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I did it during the commercial break, and it continued till just a minute.

[Don Hahn]

Why would you think you could get that done in five minutes? The arrogance.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I know. No, it was. Listen, it was. It was. It was. This was.

[Alan Hahn]

This is a Bart special.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It was.

[Alan Hahn]

Bart would. Bart would be on hold as he walked in before the show started because you'd hear the hold music. I mean, what are you doing? Oh, I'm on hope. Well, the show's gonna start. I know. And then he would think that, I'm gonna hold till the end of the first segment. I'll be fine. Sometimes he'd time it right when we went to break, he'd walk out and handle the business. Other times, the person would pick up right away and he would turn off his mic and just start getting warm.

[Don Hahn]

Well, but here's the difference.

[Alan Hahn]

We know Very, very much a flashback for me.

[Don Hahn]

We know Bart doesn't care. Right.

[Alan Hahn]

Well, he cares. Let us know about what. Sometimes.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Something.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

But Peter cares about what he does.

[Alan Hahn]

For the record, I love Bart.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Alan Hahn]

And everything about him.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Alan Hahn]

But those were moments that I would just stare and go, we're on the air.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, listen, you know, you. You. This week, Alan, of all weeks, I don't know if you have a kick coming with the we're on the air. If you know what I mean, that is true. It's tough for you.

[Don Hahn]

And you know what? Yeah, I wasn't gonna bring this up.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes.

[Don Hahn]

Marco heard it live because they can't dump on YouTube. Right. And he's watching on YouTube.

[Alan Hahn]

Wasn't there on vacation.

[Don Hahn]

He's on vacation this week during spring break.

[Alan Hahn]

That's a problem.

[Don Hahn]

He's like, mommy, Mommy, Alan said a bad word. Listen, so thank you, Alan.

[Alan Hahn]

Listen. First thing I'm going to tell you. First thing I'm going to tell you is this. I'm sure in your household, it was not the first time you heard that word.

[Don Hahn]

Second. That's my. You know what, Alan? That. That's my business.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's right. You don't. You don't have the right.

[Don Hahn]

What happens behind the closed doors of my home, that's my business.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But I do.

[Don Hahn]

My son should not be subjected to

[Alan Hahn]

this filth, filth talk because of you.

[Don Hahn]

Because of you, my son.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It was a lot happened yesterday, folks.

[Alan Hahn]

I also. My only excuse is that I was. I was drinking an energy drink because I'd only slept for three hours. I was powering through. And, yes, I was a mess yesterday.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You know what?

[Caller or Guest]

You guys are living dangerously in that studio. I'm just letting you know right now.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

It is officially not a victimless crime.

[Alan Hahn]

Wasn't there? Oh,

[Don Hahn]

mommy, mommy.

[Alan Hahn]

Troubling one seed.

[Caller or Guest]

See you in 2027, Marco.

[Alan Hahn]

He's either gonna love me or he's gonna be afraid.

[Don Hahn]

Because it wasn't like he now has permission to say it. He knew was a bad word. And he immediately turned you in.

[Alan Hahn]

Yeah. I didn't think he'd knock on me, but okay. I thought Marco was going to be my guy and just, you know, cover for me.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, I didn't hear anything.

[Alan Hahn]

I don't know what happened. He knocked on me. I'm a little concerned about that.
