It's always this hour when you get to ask Amy anything, sort of. So please send your questions to our show Twitter after our CBS. I did retweet it from our show account so you should see it, and then also our Facebook page which is getting a ton of traffic on this edition of the show. Producer Jay is looking out for your last minute questions. It comes up just over a half hour from now. We will do our best to give you what it is that you desire.

I saw one post from a listener named Lisa who called it her favorite part of the week. Gosh that's no pressure, no pressure at all. Thank you for caring enough to ask me questions about my personal life. Although some of you refuse to give up when it comes to pictures of Bob. There will be no pictures of Bob. You're just gonna have to believe me that he's real. Jay's seen him now. There are pictures. So for the first time last week we took a ton of pictures together, and I just want you to know he took the first selfie of us.

It was not me. He took the first one. He initiated the first selfie.

Is that as significant as the first kiss, first selfie? It's up there. Who does it?

Who says hey let's take a selfie? It's up there. It's a step.

It's a milestone. It is. Yeah. Yeah. I'd say. Well he initiated. That's good. Yeah.

Something positive. Although I take far better pictures so okay, but he kept saying that over the course of the week. You take far better pictures. Unless he knows it.

It does. Jay's given up too. He just knows. I'll just take your pictures.

Yeah anytime you take it I'll just send it to me. So anyway, no pictures of Bob, but I'll ask. I'll answer whatever other questions that you ask and that Jay poses. Again if you want to find us on Twitter or Facebook and get those questions in before your time is up. I know that we have hit a variety of topics. Not all of them sports on this edition of the show, and I've kept it light to this point. Some humor and certainly some fun topics that we can joke about. Porn bots on Twitter as gross as they are and sending a tweet to Elon Musk and Ryan Seacrest and his staying power and those types of goofy topics and we generally try to keep it lighter on the hump show. But I am sure that most of you saw two pieces of news that were gut-wrenching on Tuesday.

Both of them make me so sad. The first is that Ryan Mallet, former Arkansas star quarterback and NFL QB died in what the authorities believe is a drowning at a Florida beach. On Tuesday afternoon, according to the sheriff's office, first responders were called to a beach in the Destin area, for those of you who know Florida, the Destin area just after two o'clock Florida time and there was a group of people swimming in the Gulf of Mexico near a sandbar and according to the sheriff's office they were struggling to get back to shore.

At this point, those are really the only details that have been released. They pulled one person out of the water. He wasn't breathing and they were unable to revive him and he was later identified as Ryan. Only 35 years old and if you hadn't followed Ryan, since he left the NFL, remember he got drafted by the Patriots but as was the case for a lot of backups behind Tom Brady, he rarely saw the field. Then was traded I believe to the Houston Texans.

He did stick with them for a couple years, made a handful of starts, also signed with the Ravens after the Texans let him go and I don't remember how many starts he made for them but he saw the field a couple times I think and so he survived and earned a paycheck in the NFL over the course of seven years and 35 years old that's it but since then he found a new calling in life. Head football coach at Whitehall High School in his native Arkansas. So he started as an assistant and was just hired last year as the head football coach at Whitehall High School and I saw this quote came across this quote in one of the stories that I was reading about his death which he said, I always knew I was going to coach.

This comes from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. I always knew I was going to coach. It's just natural for me. I understand it. I get how everything works and then I just love football but my favorite part of the quote is this and because I've done some coaching in my life but because I now work with young people, this resonates with me.

You get to teach kids the right way at a young age and that's something I really enjoy. I'm not sure how many more details will come out. At some point the official report from the sheriff's office will be released and maybe there'll be eyewitness accounts of the others that were in the group. I can only imagine they're devastated. So Ryan Mallet dead of an apparent drowning on Tuesday. And the other story that just really shook me on Tuesday and I'm being perfectly honest. I can't even imagine being in the shoes of Jimmy Johnson's wife and when I say Jimmy Johnson, I'm referring to the NASCAR driver, seven-time champion, the icon from the sport. His wife Chandra had family or she's from Oklahoma, Muskogee is where her parents lived and on Tuesday, according to reports, authorities were called to her parents' home where they found the bodies of her parents as well as their grandson, her nephew, who was 11 years old.

Monday, by the way, not Tuesday, Monday. So I'll let you hear what Lynn Hamlin has to say. She's with the Muskogee Police Department about how authorities first got involved. It was a 911 call from a female caller that stated there was a disturbance at her residence and there was someone with a gun and then hung up and that's when they went into the home and did a search of the home to look for any other occupants and at that time they found two other deceased subjects inside the home. According to the police report and as you hear Lynn say, they got a 911 call from a woman. She was reporting a disturbance with a gun but then hung up. So authorities get to the scene, get to the home and there's one person near the front door and then as they're on scene, they hear a gunshot from somewhere else inside the house and then as they got inside, so there's the person in the doorway and as they get inside, there are two more people and they haven't yet confirmed who was in the doorway, who was farther back in the house. But Hamlin did confirm that the three are Jimmy Johnson's mother and father-in-law and then the nephew of his wife, so their grandson, her nephew, but 11 years old.

Her parents weren't even 70. So Jimmy Johnson obviously pulled out of this weekend's NASCAR race in Chicago and what a enormous shadow and pall this cast over this event that was supposed to be this premiere road race in Chicago. It's the first time they've been building up to it for more than a year but it really isn't important when you think about the loss of life in this way and because I've worked in NASCAR and have been a fan since I was 12 but I've also worked at multiple tracks, New Hampshire, Phoenix, a couple others.

I've done some PR work with drivers. It really is a family atmosphere and I know a lot of times we see the fights and you hear the jawing back and forth between drivers. That is in the heat of the moment and yes, are there rivalries or guys that don't love each other? Sure, but the sport itself is very tight and part of that is because they all respect one another for going out there and putting their lives on the line every time they get behind the wheel. It's a tight-knit group and Jimmy Johnson is not only is he a long-time icon in the sport but in a sport where so many of the previous generation has retired and walked away.

It's such a privilege for these younger drivers, a lot of them, to have a Jimmy Johnson around even on a part-time basis because of what he's meant to the sport and because he's been their hero in many cases. The sport's very tight. The drivers, their families, they're not always together. Of course, they travel separately.

They have their shops in different places but over the course of nearly the entire year from February until November, they're together in fairly tight quarters three, four days out of the week. Everybody knows everybody in the sport and I've witnessed that firsthand. So even as they are supposed to take on Chicago and and go into this incredible event that they've all been looking forward to, you can imagine the number of people who just feel heavy now have a heavy spirit again because it is a family and they all know each other. I was thinking about these two tragedies and I did tweet about it, which almost makes me feel like I don't care a lot enough if I tweet about it or put it out there and say something. What can you possibly say that will be impactful at a time like this? But what was impressed upon me is sometimes the pain and the grief and the hurt in this world just seem so overwhelming and I know that we all have people in our lives who are battling cancer or other health challenges, whether physical or mental health.

For those of you who know John Kincaid, he has his second chemotherapy treatment on Wednesday for the colon cancer, stage three, and I'm not telling you anything that he hasn't shared publicly so I don't feel like I'm betraying any of his confidence. It seems like at times the bad news, the heavy, the negative, it wins if that makes sense and that was one of those days on Tuesday just man and this is just the sports world because that's where we deal and I say it a lot, sports are a microcosm of real life. It's so heavy at times where it's nothing but bad news. I just can't even imagine how his wife feels so because these are, and Jimmy Johnson more so than Ryan, but certainly many members of the NFL family shared their sadness, their shock, their grief over Ryan because these are famous people.

Obviously, it resonates and it makes waves. We all have people in our lives or we all have had losses to deal with in our own lives. In a situation like this, there's no way really to keep it private because it's massive news. The mayor of Muskogee is Marlon Coleman and he did an interview with Fox 23 just talking about his personal feelings. It was traumatizing to find out that a long-standing family who had made so many contributions to our community were involved in this type of incident. It was even more bone chilling when we found out there were children involved. I knew Dr. Janway.

Dr. Janway has worked on me. We've been acquaintances for a very, very long time since I've been in Muskogee and so just knowing that it was him and his family took a different toll on me. With the mayor of Muskogee, having spent time in Oklahoma, having lived there for four years, same type of thing, right?

Some of these towns, everybody knows everybody. I don't know if I mentioned this earlier, but the authorities believe it was a murder-suicide, which just talk about gut-wrenching even on top of that with an 11-year-old. So, thinking about Jimmy and Chandra and their families, but also about Ryan Mallet's family, the grief that they must feel today. There is no easy way to come out of that and start talking about sports again or anything else that we were talking about. I know it's part of the job and I've had to do it countless times over the course of my career, but I always think, ah, it's one of those times when sports just do not matter. But I know we are doing a show as best we can to entertain on a nightly basis and when it comes to these types of things, I can only be me.

I can only be authentic and real and share my heart with you. But obviously, we'll morph into some other topics that are making headlines in sports. I just wanted to make sure that I mentioned that. Just sometimes it feels like ah, the bad news far outweighs the good. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. First pitch for the first swing has tied the game at one apiece. Ripped down the left field line, curling toward the bullpen.

She is gone! Acuna has done it again. It is six to one Braves.

Unbelievable. One-one pitch. Line to right field and deep back as Acuna still going back. Leaps and made a great catch. Kept it off the base of the fence with a tremendous catch. Ronald Acuna.

The man is on fire. This is After Hours with Amy Lawrence. Acuna definitely is a two-way star. The right fielder of the Atlanta Braves goes two for four with a pair of solo home runs. He's now hitting 330 on the season and, as you hear on the Braves radio network, flashing the leather as Atlanta racks up its fourth win in a row and continues to dominate in the NL East.

Austin Riley, well, he likes what he's seeing. Ronald's so special. It's a treat to come to the yard and watch him play every day. Not only offensively, defensively. I think he's great out there and, you know, you catch yourself on the edge of your seat every time he's at the plate. And, you know, to see him finally 100% healthy, you know, after the knee injury, it's awesome. Minnesota Twins, they're part of this equation too.

We'll get to them in a second. But Acuna is just one piece of what right now has become a home run barrage by the Atlanta Braves, especially in the month of June. Do you know the Braves have 54 homers in the month of June alone? They lead Major League Baseball with nearly 150.

I think right now they're sitting on 146. And so Acuna had a pair last night. The Braves had five overall. They're bashing. They're the bashy Braves. They're the bashing Braves, not the bashful Braves.

I know, trying to make it fit. The bashily brothers. Do you think Acuna could do 50-50? This year?

This year. He's got 35 stolen bases, 20 home runs. Yeah, I don't think the stolen bases is the problem. No.

It's not, I'm not saying he's on pay. Like, it would be incredible. I think 40-40 is definitely in the question, but no one's ever done 50-50.

Right. 40-40 wouldn't surprise me. Well, he's going to get the 40 stolen bases, no doubt. He has time to do another 20 home runs if he stays on this pace. So at this point, the Braves have played 79 games. Right, so they're not quite at the midway point, but they're just shy. 81 games is dead center.

50 would be a lot, but he could have a power surge in the second half. The fact that it's possible. Yes, that we're even talking about it.

Yeah. And again, he's just a part of what the Braves are doing. They lead Major League Baseball with 146 total home runs. 12 of 13, that's how many they've won.

12 of their last 13. Meanwhile, the Twins are below 500 and still on top of the AL Central. Every team in the Central Division is below 500.

That's gross. Doing their best to be like the NFC South. It's after hours here on CBS Sports Radio. While we're talking about the Braves in the East, the Mets finally win last night. They get seven runs on nine hits.

My favorite part of the victory is Francisco Lindor. I'm going to assume he's being sarcastic here. You got to bring every single day and enjoy tonight.

Come back tomorrow and just do all over all over again. You know this win doesn't guarantee as a playoff spot so we're far from it. This win doesn't guarantee as a playoff spot. No?

It doesn't? I mean it's stunning. I don't think 20 wins at this point would guarantee a playoff spot. I like how he tacks on we're far from it. Just in case anybody thought he was being serious, we're far from it. We're far from it.

Yeah. At this point they are 16 games back of the Braves. 16 games back. What about the wild card you ask? Well even with the wild card they're eight and a half games out of the third wild card. Already eight and a half games out of the third wild card.

That's tough. So you're saying there's a chance they're even behind the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pirates by the way fallen below 500.

They're they're a bit of a mess right now. Well then so are the Mets. Miami, San Francisco, LA. Right now those are your three wild cards.

Long way to go. The Phillies are three out. The Brewers are three and a half. Cubs six and a half. Padres seven and a half.

Pirates eight. Mets eight and a half. It's not just the fact that they're eight and a half games out of the third and final wild card. It's the fact that there are seven other teams that are competing behind right now the Marlins. So when Francisco Lindor says it's not like we've clinched a playoff spot, he's telling the truth. We're far from it he says. The owner of the New York Mets announced on Twitter that he will do a press conference and answer all questions about the Mets, their current state as well as their future and that's taking place on Wednesday.

But almost like the John the Baptist going before Jesus, Billy Epler was trotted out on Tuesday. Maybe just to soften him up a little bit. Soften up the media. He actually takes blame himself for what's happening with the Mets right now. I constructed the roster you know and so you know we put this team together and a large part of it we put together last year and then supplemented with some of the pieces that you know we lost in the winter time and you know it's been a long time you know we lost in the winter time and you know but ultimately I mean this is the club we have right now and you know I think we expect you know them to be able to do more and I think they expect it on themselves. You think the Mets were so nervous about Steve Cohen on Wednesday that they decided they better get their rears in gear and win a game on Tuesday night? Oh I'm sorry Jay plug your ears immediately if you don't want to hear this.

Are you ready? This is where the tanking has happened. Not on purpose I just mean they their season is tanked. They just won on Tuesday night for the sixth time in 22 games. They've had six wins in 22 games? Six wins in 22 games.

They know is that many? Eight and a half games back. Oh the final wildcard spot. Did you know everybody's involved in a wildcard spot?

Except for the Mets, the Cardinals, a couple of other teams. Yeah Billy Eppler's I guess doing the dirty work first before Steve Cohen. What's the biggest problem?

What worries you the most Billy besides your own job status? I'd say the biggest deviation I think from I think what the forecast or predictions or uh any of the projections kind of put um is on the pitching side. I'd say that's deviated more than uh you know more than the offense um so that and some of our on-field execution. It's very technical our on-field execution. All right major question and we know that Cohen the owner of the Mets is not big on making changes midstream. He's not big on making changes in the middle of a season.

Firing, hiring, that type of thing. Billy Eppler what about Buck Showalter? I think Buck's you know handled that adversity and I think he's the uh the guy to get us back on track. All right so I guess that's a lukewarm endorsement not a ringing endorsement. I wouldn't call it that.

I would call it a lukewarm endorsement. Ultimately what Billy Eppler has to say about the Mets is that I mean these guys can pull themselves out of it. They're very talented. They can play better. They can start to win. All right if Eppler has the support of the owner and Showalter has the support of the owner, can't imagine they're going to make a ton of trades at the deadline.

Everybody's frustrated but what really can you do? I heard I heard one New York radio host suggest that they should trade Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander and actually pay part of their salaries because right now no one would take them right. So no one would take their salaries as currently constituted and so for that reason the Mets would have to pay another team to take them. I don't think that's going to happen.

I could be wrong. There's always the chance they could turn it around. You see the flashes with Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer are just not what they're paying for. All right so Steve Cohen on Wednesday, he takes his money very seriously. Well I guess not that seriously if he's throwing it around the way that he is. We've never seen, as we've seen in the Mets, have never seen him react to a situation like this so there's really no telling what he's going to do. Is he going to lay the hammer down? Is he going to be nonchalant? Well he's indicated he's not a huge fan of firing people in the middle of the season. Of course he's only been an owner for what two years so I guess he could change his mind if he wanted to.

To go anyway? Coming up, ask Amy anything. Except please don't ask you about the Mets because I don't know.

Although I did see some of you ask me about the Mets. So send your questions to our show Twitter After Hours CBS to our Facebook page too. We're glad to have you with us on this hump show.

Plus rapid fire. Producer Jay is thrilled. A lot of times I start talking and I don't stop and then I miss the break and then he only has three minutes for questions. So ready set go here on After Hours on CBS Sports Radio. Let's dive right in. So of course you were away on vacation last week so we have to start right here. Paul wants to know what was your favorite spot that you hiked while on vacation last week? Oh it was definitely the middle section or the steepest section of the Maryland Heights Trail in Harper's Ferry and the overlook which many of you are familiar with.

I put the pictures up on both Twitter and Facebook. You can see not just the town of Harper's Ferry but the two rivers that come together. You're seeing Virginia, West Virginia as well as Maryland. But if you go on up into the steeper kind of loop that goes to the ridge of the mountain you actually come across Civil War ruins. An old fort that was built on the top.

There's a battery where they hold a 9,000 pound cannon up to the top. Now there's trees there and you can't have the same perspective of the river anymore but it was this incredible vantage point from which they would protect the fort and protect their position there during the Civil War. Not to mention John Brown and the stand that he made with the slaves that was all that fort is there. I mean it's been rebuilt but it's there that same spot in Harper's Ferry. So I love history.

I love American history and military history. I'm fascinated by the fact that I'm standing in a place where Abraham Lincoln walked and there's a photo of him on the mountain. This logging road where they pulled this 9,000 pound cannon up to the top of a really steep mountain. And the hike kicked our butts too. It was six and a half miles. It was steep inclines. It was perilous descents. It was a great hike.

We got to eat coconut cream pie after. Huge pieces uh because it was it kicked our butt. So I would say yeah the seeing the Civil War remnants and and the pictures of Abraham Lincoln in the same spot was fascinating. Unreal. You meant to do that hike with a 9,000 pound cannon? Well there are two to three hundred guys but they were also hauling up weeks worth of water and supplies and constantly up and down this mountain so no. Sleeping on rocks and yeah no thank you.

All right let's move on here. James wants to know what's one place that you want to take a vacation but just haven't had the chance to do it yet? Hawaii. Hawaii is tops on the list but internationally I have a friend who lives in Denmark. She keeps asking me to visit and then I want to go to Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

So those are just a few. Yellowstone is another trip. Lake Tahoe I've not been to yet. In the United States I want to see um Mount Rushmore, South Dakota. I've been to parts of Alaska but not Anchorage. I want to see the Northern Lights.

I could keep going on and on but the number one is Hawaii. So Eric asks have you ever been camping and if so when's the last time you've gone? Oh heavens well it depends on what kind of camping we're talking about. I've been camping multiple times with my mom and her husband in their 39 foot fifth wheel and before that other trailers shorter versions but in terms of camping, camping in a tent, oh yeah we went a ton when I was a kid in New Hampshire. We would go to camps. We would go to campsites and camps. So I love camping. Love it. In the lakes region of New Hampshire for those of you who are familiar, Winnipesaukee, Newfound Lake.

Those are places that we went a ton when I was a kid. So this one's funny. It comes from Shirley who asks do you take all your pictures with your phone or do you sometimes use a camera? I don't use a camera anymore because my phone, which is a Galaxy S10, that's what I have now, it has a 16 megapixel camera. It's better than any actual camera that I have. My nieces both have cameras now. My sister-in-law I think has a camera as well and they take them on vacations but I have not found that any camera I've had in the past takes better photos than my phone. I mean I think it's funny that they even ask that it's was it a camera or is it a phone because the photos are that good of a quality. That's true. Good point.

Yes I feel like in fact when I go to Cuba, I haven't been in a few years, but we don't have signal there so I put the phone in airplane mode but I take it because I want to be able to take pictures. Yeah. Ready for some food questions?

Yes. So Allen asks what's on your super duper a-law boom sundae? What kind of ice cream, syrups, toppings?

Oh my gosh wow it's a tough one. Okay I love chocolate chip ice cream. Absolutely love chocolate chip ice cream but I also love mocha ice cream and I do love other flavors like coconut too and so if you're asking me about my super duper boom sundae I'm thinking a scoop of chocolate chip, a scoop of coconut, a scoop of mocha.

Those flavors sound amazing to me together. Then I would have to have I'm not a big fan of hot fudge. I do think toppings are required so I'm thinking gummy bears maybe, sprinkles, maybe more chocolate chips or how about heath bar?

Okay let's do that. The three scoops of ice cream, heath bar over the top and then a gigantic blob of whipped cream or cool whip and then maybe drizzle on that a little bit of the chocolate fudge drizzle. Not overwhelming because there's a lot of other chocolate too. You like caramel sauce? No I'm not a caramel person.

I do use it for baking but I'm not a huge caramel person that's my mom so I'll go with the three different scoops of ice cream all homemade of course and then we're talking some chocolate oh no some heath bar I said tons of whipped cream and then drizzled with hot fudge drizzled not not covered but drizzled. Is it an ice cream for breakfast kind of morning? It should be it should be.

I think it is. All right one more here with food. Louis wants to know what is the best food to get at the ballpark for you? Oh I'm a sausage and peppers girl except for when I once went to Nationals Park in DC it was 99 degrees at first pitch and the only thing that my nieces and I wanted to eat was ice cream out of a helmet which is what we had for dinner while we're talking about ice cream but yeah I love sausage and peppers I'm trying to think what else I could do a burger a cheeseburger anywhere and most ballparks have awesome chicken fingers so chicken fingers and fries if you're asking me one specific place though I'm going Shake Shack at Citi Field every time because I freaking love Shake Shack oh my gosh it's so good and there are other places where Shake Shack is located but I only ever have it at Citi Field it's like my once or twice a year treat. The one time when we went last year we got there early enough we had no line which never happened. The reason right it never happens but we stood there forever because Jay insisted that he had to have something specific okay the guy we stood there forever because you had to what what did you ask for I just got I wanted like just cheese on her I wanted to remove something and apparently that was like splitting me out no yeah it is it's splitting the atom it's ruining the assembly line we stood there forever by the time your food came out my fries were cold I would have just taken it the way it was if I knew it was going to be from now on yes from now on all right moving on David asks have you ever been to Dave and Buster's I have been to Dave and Buster's used to go there a bunch when I was in Oklahoma we had a blast effect and had a few dates at Dave and Buster's lots of fun there love the race and driving the race cars that was my favorite part the next question was what's your favorite arcade game if you have yeah I know I love to be the NASCAR driver the arcade game I think I know the answer to this one but Rich wants to know have you ever been sent or were you ever sent to the principal's office oh yeah absolutely I was most of the time because I was sassy and talked too much definitely I actually would have guessed no really oh gosh I was I was a sassafras and also I didn't always play nicely with others so when I was in junior high I was a cheerleader for a very short time and I didn't get along with the mean girls and so they all ganged up on me and one of their dads was the principal and so they got me called to the principal's office and like made up all these stories about me about how I was not I was not a team player and I wasn't following the captains who were much older yeah I got a talking to about how I needed to play nicely with other cheerleaders that was the end of any cheerleading for me it was yeah no thank you and we got the 4th of July coming up this weekend and Karen asks do you have any 4th of July traditions or favorite

American flag earrings which I will be wearing I have a red dress with a blue sweater that I'll wear because we're working all weekend so I'll do it here and I do enjoy fireworks the problem is ever since I got Penny I hesitate to leave her because she is so afraid of fireworks now she's deaf mostly so she can't really hear them as much but I haven't left her in years because the last time I did the poor dog was a she was a disaster I do love fireworks but mostly though we work right so I'll be on my way into work seeing the fireworks in both New Jersey and New York City but I'll enjoy them while I'm driving down the highway that actually was a follow-up is Penny afraid of the fireworks oh deathly afraid and so last year she could hear some more than she can hear now but I'm telling you what we have massive thunderstorms on Monday night and the dog was petrified she can only hear him if they're super loud so maybe we'll see if she if she can't hear the fireworks anymore this one
