Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The “Ray from North Carolina” Segment

• Revisiting a Legendary Caller:
  The hosts play back classic clips of "Ray from North Carolina," who is known for his gruff criticisms and animosity toward Peter. Ray’s rants become the comic backbone of the segment, with the hosts analyzing his voice and comparing his insults to those of other frequent callers.
• Are Ray and Freddie Keegan Related?
  • Caller Patrick (01:33) floats the theory that frequent caller Freddie Keegan (“Freddie Kee”) might be Ray’s grandson. The hosts humorously investigate, playing audio clips for comparison and relishing the idea:
    • "Can he firm that his grandfather, his grandpappy, if you will, is Ray from North Carolina? Because I'm pretty sure they're related." — Caller Patrick [03:13]
  • After multiple Ray soundbites, Rosenberg concludes:
    • "Yeah, I don't think they're related. There's... I understand why you'd think it, but it's..." — Peter Rosenberg [06:14]
• “I Hate You” — Ray’s Signature Line:
  • The hosts affectionately mimic Ray’s infamous catchphrase, repeating “I hate you” several times and laughing at the intensity of his dislike for Peter.
    • "You're arrogant and ugly and you can't understand anything. I hate you." — Ray from North Carolina [05:17]
• On “Slopping the Hogs:”
  • Ray’s rural idioms—like “I go slop the hogs every now and then”—lead the hosts into a mini-debate about the proper frequency of hog-slopping, drawing more laughs:
    • "If you slop the hogs, as he said, you either do or you don't. No one halfway slops the hogs." — Peter Rosenberg [06:47]
• Ray’s Disappearance:
  • The hosts wonder if Ray is still alive or just supremely committed to never calling again.
    • "Some people, when they say they're out. They're truly out. Yeah, and he was truly out." — Don Hahn [12:47]

2. Peter’s Birthday Blitz

• Personal Reflections:
  • Peter reflects humorously and candidly on getting older, noting that his sense of celebration has shifted toward family dinners over parties. Callers and co-hosts chime in with their own evolving attitudes toward birthdays and growing older.
    • "39's young. 39 is 29. You know what I mean?" — Peter Rosenberg [01:48]
    • "Now, man, I...the only thing I care about when birthdays come, it's having dinner with my family, especially my little kids. And as long as we're healthy, trust me, man..." — Caller Jonathan [16:01]
• Listener Love:
  • Callers sing birthday wishes, express heartfelt appreciation, and offer advice about cherishing time with loved ones, creating a communal, affectionate tone.
    • "Remix. Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Happy birthday to you. Many more passionate, love filled years, my boy." — Nas, Caller [17:45]
• Peter on Personal Growth:
  • "Why not celebrate life?" — Peter Rosenberg [17:29]

3. Sports, Media, and Inside Jokes

• Yankee Talk vs. Reindeer Games:
  • Tongue-in-cheek references to “Yo Yo Reindeer Games”—one of the show’s running gags— highlight the hosts’ preference for banter over constant Yankees analysis.
    • "The options were in George Lombard Jr. for four hours or yo, yo, Reindeer Games. Don and I said sign us right up for the Ohio Reindeer Games." — Peter Rosenberg [02:50]

[Ray from North Carolina]

Welcome to the wnba.

[Ray from North Carolina]

What records are going to be broken this season?

[Peter Rosenberg]

All of it. Right here. Lock in. It's the WNBA on ESPN all season long.

[Podcast Announcer]

This is the document. Han Han at Rosenberg Podcast.

[Don Hahn]

That sounds like heaven to me.

[Podcast Announcer]

Listen live weekday afternoon starting at 3 on 8 80, ESPN, the ESPN New York app, and your smart speakers.

[Don Hahn]

George Lombard Jr. Not in the lineup for Scranton, but reports are he's just getting the night off. So not getting called up, it doesn't look like. Or being part of a trade. So there was some speculation because the lineup was late coming out, and then when it came out, he wasn't on it, but apparently just getting the day off. 1-800-919-3776. Let's go to Patrick out in Portland. You're out of yesterday.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Hey there, pal.

[Don Hahn]

Is that Oregon or Maine?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Mm.

[Don Hahn]

Hello, Patrick areas.

[Caller Patrick]

Hey, guys, can you hear me?

[Don Hahn]

Is that Oregon or Maine?

[Caller Patrick]

You got me.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oregon. Okay, cool.

[Caller Patrick]

Yeah, the Don Don's adopted, you know.

[Don Hahn]

That's right. I'll never tell.

[Caller Patrick]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Cool, man.

[Caller Patrick]

Yeah, exactly. First off, happy birthday, Peter. My. My birthday is tomorrow. Like you dream about.

[Ray from North Carolina]

Yeah.

[Caller Patrick]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

How old?

[Caller Patrick]

Nine tomorrow. 39. So I'm one away from one of those big ones.

[Peter Rosenberg]

39. 39 is great, man. 39. Let me tell you something about 39. 39's young. 39 is 29. You know what I mean?

[Don Hahn]

You're in great shape.

[Caller Patrick]

It's 29 to J's.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's the definition of 29. And I just want to say, like a gentleman, I just want to say that I hope tomorrow you go out, you get yourself some lettuce, and you have diarrhea like you dream about.

[Don Hahn]

Oh, that's what I want.

[Caller Patrick]

Explosive.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Caller Patrick]

Not just normal explosives. By the way, guys, the Wolf pack's been electric this week.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I thank you for saying what you do. We won't get feedback like that because John doesn't care for us. And Anthony, when we're doing our Yo Yo Reindeer Games, he's got no use for us either.

[La Quinta by Wyndham Advertiser]

I haven't said anything.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, but it's all in there. And so you, Don and I are just floating. I mean, I think Jacobs enjoyed the show. He looks like he's smiling all day, so we appreciate this feedback, Patrick. Thank you.

[Caller Patrick]

No, the more Yo Yo Reindeer Games, the better, right? The less Yankee talk, the Better.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's how I look.

[Caller Patrick]

Well, those were just me.

[Peter Rosenberg]

The options. The options were in George Lombard Jr. For four hours or yo, yo, Reindeer Games. Don and I said sign us right up for the Ohio Reindeer Games.

[Caller Patrick]

I'm good on one board. Hey, I've got a question I'm hoping to ask. Or maybe Peter you can ask. Okay, ask him. Freddy Keegan, your guy. Freddie Kee.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Caller Patrick]

And I apologize if someone has pointed this out because it almost seems, like, too obvious. But can he firm that his grandfather, his grandpappy, if you will, is Ray from North Carolina? Because I'm pretty sure they're related.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's a great. It's a great take. It's a great question. I don't know. I don't think we can.

[Caller Patrick]

Can we get him on the show?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Kiki?

[Don Hahn]

God, can you imagine if we did? How do we not address what's been going on for the last.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Like I'd be afraid to do five years. I don't think we think he'd take

[Don Hahn]

it in the spirit it's meant.

[Caller Patrick]

Absolutely not.

[Don Hahn]

Ye. Happy birthday, Patrick.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I'd like to. Well, first of all, a couple things I want to address on the program. Number one, a couple of days ago, and not many people may remember this because it wasn't my best appearance, some things were said about Roshifa that I think were grossly misrepresented.

[Don Hahn]

All right, that's good.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No charges have been filed, and Roseifer is innocent until proven guilty.

[Ray from North Carolina]

All right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

A lot of people have a lot of things to say about my dog. Now, the question at hand is, am I related to this Ray from North Cackalacky?

[Ray from North Carolina]

I hate you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Now, let's listen. I'm gonna play you some audio. You tell me if you hear similarity. Here's Ray.

[Ray from North Carolina]

The quicker y' all get rid of that sloppy pig, the better you can do.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Let me. I'm gonna play you another one. Let's see.

[Ray from North Carolina]

He just continually upsets everyone.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Sound like you.

[Ray from North Carolina]

No. I will never approve of him being on your program. Send him up there onto 4th Avenue and let him walk up and down the street. Peter sucks. That's what I'm saying. I hate you. You're very, very ugly. You're arrogant and ugly, and you can't understand anything.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Now, here's one moment, Dom, where I relate to. Where I relate to Randy in North Kakalaki.

[Ray from North Carolina]

I go slop the hogs every now and then.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I. I do enjoy, as you know, slopping the hogs.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And in fact, I offer that to LeBron James, if you were interested in coming and tending to the slop, I offer that right. That's the kind of opportunity.

[Ray from North Carolina]

Don't threaten me, son. I'll send the world up there for you. When you get on is when everything goes haywire on that program. Put on your T shirt and get the hell out of that. You're arrogant and ugly and you can't understand anything. I hate you.

[Don Hahn]

You know, hey, you know what we should have done because it was the anniversary?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah. Play the whole thing.

[Don Hahn]

If we were able to find a way to play that whole thing in its own. We only know it in cut form, which is great, but Freddy, you couldn't really judge it unless you heard that.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, I don't think they're related. There's. I understand why you'd think it, but it's.

[Ray from North Carolina]

I hate you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I hate you.

[Ray from North Carolina]

I hate you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I hate you. No, it's not the same.

[Don Hahn]

It's not the same. And I never thought about this. I slopped the hogs. Every now and then, you either do or you don't, right? Oh, you know, if you've got hogs, you got. You got to slop them, right?

[Peter Rosenberg]

I don't know what slopping the mean, but I don't.

[Don Hahn]

But. But every now and then.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's a great point.

[Don Hahn]

Are you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Wait, hold on. Are you calling fraud? I'm calling fraud because if you slop the hogs, as he said, you either

[Don Hahn]

do or you don't.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You either do or you don't. No one halfway slops the hogs.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, every now and then. It's like I feed the dogs every now and then.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Don slops dogs anytime he gets them. Alone time.

[Don Hahn]

I do it. More than that one, more than it now.

[Peter Rosenberg]

If Nancy, the kids are out, guess what? He's slopping the hogs.

[Don Hahn]

That's right.

Here is the taster Ray. Hello Ray.

[Ray from North Carolina]

Is this Pete? Is this Peter?

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, this is.

[Ray from North Carolina]

Well, I want to tell you one thing. The quicker y' all get rid of that sloppy pig, the better you can do. Do you know something you're the producer of a movie that says Peter sucks, right?

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, I would never call.

[Ray from North Carolina]

You are. Yes, you are. You even see it on television, you're lying right now.

[Don Hahn]

Oh, you mean Duke sucks. This is why Duke sucks.

[Ray from North Carolina]

No, Peter sucks. That's what I'm saying.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, got it.

[Podcast Announcer]

Yeah.

[Ray from North Carolina]

Well, yeah, got it, got it. Okay, you need to. You need to listen to what I'm saying, and I. It's gonna be a problem if you don't change every.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Everything you say. You make excellent points. Very, very valid, and I am going to take them under advisor and thank you, Ray. I have to tell you, the Peter sucks. That's what I'm saying. Is such comedy genius. Because he gets it wrong. He means to say Duke sucks. And he goes, you say that. You say Peter sucks. And I go, no, no, no. I said Duke sucks. And he goes, no, Peter sucks. That's what I'm saying. You think he's no longer with us or you think he just was out?

[Don Hahn]

How old do you think he is there? 2016.

[Peter Rosenberg]

2016. He's gotta be. We're all. You know, to me he sounds 80, but I'm always surprised at how people say they're younger. So let's call him 75.

[Don Hahn]

Well, he's 85, so he could still. He could still be with us.

[Peter Rosenberg]

God, don't you wish you could find Ray from North Carolina?

[Don Hahn]

I'm really shocked that he's never, ever called. He must have just stumbled upon the. Upon the show reacted.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But no.

[Don Hahn]

He knew it turned it on.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, but no, because he, if you remember, he really goes into detail of how he enjoys Michael, because, you know, I think he was down there in North Kakalaki where they probably had a Yankee affiliate, and he was a Yankee fan and he really enjoyed it a lot. You know, the Yankees have, like the whole Eastern seaboard.

[Don Hahn]

And again, there were a lot of people when yes. First started that were a little shocked that it was a show that actually talked about things other than the Yankees. And the people that were Yankee fans were disgusted and they blamed Peter for the reason why Yankees weren't being spoken. So it made sense. But if he continued to watch Peter and saw how people reacted so positively to him to not attempt to call back for a decade, he's either dead or just. That was it. That was the day he shut it off and never turned it back on.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I'll tell you what, if he's not dead, he was just that committed. It's really impressive.

[Don Hahn]

Well, some people, when they say they're out. They're truly out. Yeah, and he was truly out.

Yeah, you got it. My guy, Peter. Let me tell you something, man. I'm 36 years old. I had my first kid when Don had his kids a day before.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Wow.

[Caller Patrick]

I used to party a lot. I used to buy me Jordans and everything. Now I used to care about my birthdays a lot. I used to go to clubs, pop bottles and everything. Now, man, I still have the same shoes for the past year. And the only thing I care about when birthdays come, it's having dinner with my family, especially my little kids. And as long as we're healthy, trust me, man, you're gonna get to see it. Because your little Maya is barely about a year. She's the same age as my little daughter, too. He's a year. But as soon as she gets older, eventually you're gonna be like, you know what, Natalie, let's just go for dinner. Three of us. That's all I want for my birthday. You're gonna. You're gonna remember me, man. You're gonna remember. Once again, my guy. Have a great birthday night. Don Gray show wallpack. It's gold. Thank you, guys.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Thank you, Jonathan. You're a sweet man. Now listen, I'm still gonna do what he's saying, right? I just want to also then have an event, okay? It's. It's two separate things. Everyone's acting as if this is the thing about. See, this is the thing about me realizing I'm a birthday guy is that it's more than one day. Because the day, you know, like, you have it, you do the family thing. But then you think, hey, you know what? Like, this year happened to be interesting because the Fanatics fest and Saturday night's main event all fell this weekend. Truth be told, I would not have done a thing this year. My manager was doing the thing for his way belated birthday, okay? And it was three days before my birthday. So I said, well, if you're gonna be inviting all my friends and it's three days before my birthday, let me get in on this.

[Don Hahn]

Wow.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But I ended up enjoying it and thinking, you know what? Why not Celebrate life.

[Don Hahn]

Nas and Pine Brook, you're on. Don Hanna Rosenberg.

[Don Hahn]

It's.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's a great point. When it comes to. When it comes to playing a song for your birthday, that is. No question.

[Caller Bear]

I heard, heard the Beatles one like in the 80s when you bought like a video cassette and put it in and they gave you a point of view walking through a party and they're playing a song in the background. Other than that, I never knew it was a Beatles song.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Let me ask him.

[Caller Patrick]

The Bear.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Have you, have you thrown on the quarterback stock yet?

[Caller Bear]

No. Jaden James gonna be fine.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, I want to see him, but I want to see him on the dot. I am interested to see him on the show.

[Caller Patrick]

Show,

[Caller Bear]

yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah, the Netflix dunk. He's one of the quarterbacks.

[Caller Bear]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm definitely watching.

[Don Hahn]

Who are the three again? It's Jaden. There's a Joe Flacco. I knew there was an old elder statement. Statesman. I don't know. I got to look it up now.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Wait, what?

[Don Hahn]

The three quarterbacks at Joe Flacco, Jayden Daniels and who?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, who are the other ones?

[Don Hahn]

Is it, Is it, Is it Baker Bayfield?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes. Okay, and one more.

[Don Hahn]

Oh, there's one more.

[Caller Patrick]

They could be filming it in Don's backyard.

[Don Hahn]

I'm not gonna watch a second.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But it's Baker Flacco, Jaden and Cam Ward.

[Don Hahn]

Maybe because they go and Cam Ward, youngest to oldest. Well, listen, you still have some more time off the air to celebrate your birthday.
