7-7-23 After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 4

Being a baseball play-by-play broadcaster demands a blend of learned mechanics, intense preparation, and a calm sense of entertainment. How hard is it to do this job?

Let's talk to the ones who do it. This is Matt Spiegel. My new podcast, The PBP Voices of Baseball, will bring those conversations to you as the best working and former broadcasters tell you why and how they do it. New episodes come every Thursday all summer long.

Do the Dew It Quality Mart. Just trust me, it all makes sense. It really does. We got here honestly. It wasn't as though we manufactured some show topic and it came out of the blue. Now we're reacting to what everyone is reacting to on this Friday morning, none other than Victor Wemenyama and his encounter with Britney Spears. And Britney Spears filing a police report over Wemenyama's security, back handing her in the face. Now she says she simply tapped him on the shoulder. I'm calling BS on that because she's 5'4 and he's 7'4 and you wouldn't naturally reach up that high to tap someone on the shoulder if you're 5'4.

He says he got grabbed. I'm not joking. I'm looking up by the news network on in my studio as I typically do in the mornings and it's the top story. At five o'clock Eastern Time, two o'clock Pacific Time, it is literally the top story on this news network. And every time I look at the other TV, which is a sports network, it's there too. It's crazy but it's dominating both news and sports. This is why what happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas.

It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. That and Twitter versus Threads, we opted to go with the pop culture phenomenon that used to be Britney Spears and the brand new NBA phenomenon that is Victor Wemenyama. Again, if you hadn't heard this, Britney apparently is a fan of Whemby's and wanted to get a photo with him. She was behind him in a line to get into a restaurant, excuse me, and tried to get around his security team and get his attention for a photo.

The security team told him to keep walking because there was a bit of a crowd anyway and they didn't want him to create a log jam. And while she reached up to get his attention, she said she tapped him on the shoulder, the security team stepped in, he never turned around, the team stepped in and she said she got hit in the face. And so has filed a police report, put it on her Instagram account, which I'm certain has more followers than Whemby's does, and has put it on her Instagram account that no one apologized, not the player, not the security team. Apparently her security team spoke to his security team, no charges have been filed, not sure what she's after by filing a police report, but maybe she just wants it on record.

She's called it super embarrassing on her Instagram. And so from there we went to talking about the the cross-section of pop culture and sports, which is one of the reasons I keep up with pop culture because they do intersect on a fairly regular basis. And then I had to share with you that Michael Rubin has been asked by the NBA Players Association to host a party in Vegas for people who are hanging out for summer league, which includes Joelle Embiid. It includes some musicians like Lil Baby, Mill Meek. Oh no, Meek Mill, I'm sorry. I'm so not cool.

You can totally make fun of me, it's absolutely okay. Meek Mill. And from there then we started talking about the previous Michael Rubin party, which has generated some kind of rumors. Did you hear? I have no knowledge of anything.

I don't know things. Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian. Rumors are flying.

Maybe my favorite Saturday Night Live skin of all time. Yeah, rumors flying. They were spending some one-on-one time in the Hamptons at Michael Rubin's previous party. So then we needed to know would they be attending this party in Vegas?

Eh, Brady's not hanging out with teenagers. But one of their friends has to throw a party so they can hang out at the same place again. That's how it goes. That's how it has to happen.

Yes, they both have many famous friends. What's the next holiday or occasion? Somebody's got a birthday.

Throw a party and invite us both. That's how it goes so that you can hang out in the same place, but you can defend the fact that you were in the same place. They got to quote-unquote stumble into each other. It is a trick as old as time. I used it when I was younger. Did you use it when you were younger? I have used it.

Ask your friends to throw a party and invite the guy or the girl that you're interested in. Oh yeah, tale as old as time. It's foolproof. We're on to you, Brady. And so from there we started talking about the Kardashians and why they're famous and Jay thinks it's because of their dad, Caitlyn Jenner now, Bruce Jenner before. I don't know. I feel like they're famous now because of their reality show and because we're part of their train wreck lives. I think that's what propelled, that's what got them to that point to give them that, you know, they've definitely taken whatever they've, fame they've gotten the chance and run with it for sure, but yeah. Have you noticed so far on our social, no one has answered the question with keeping up with the Kardashians? No.

No one. I feel like people might be even more embarrassed to admit it, but it might become a huge, a huge show, even bigger than what it was when Chris Humphries was on it or Kanye West was on it. If Tom Brady gets hooked up with Kim Kardashian, that show is going to see numbers like it's never seen before.

Would you check it out? Oh, I absolutely would. If Brady was in the middle of the Kardashian clan, oh for heaven's sake. Tom Brady at a Kardashian family dinner. How could you not watch?

You'd have to tune in. Wait, could you imagine? I forget. See, I'm kind of fringy with this stuff. One of the married, it's one of the Jenner daughters, Kendall or the other, Kaylee or Kendall, Jenner, whatever their names are.

Don't get mad at me if I don't get it all right. Married, is it Travis Shaw or Travis somebody? Travis Scott. Travis Scott. Thank you.

See I'm so close. He's married to, he's married to Kylie. Kylie.

Thank you. I said Kaylee. I meant Kylie. See what I mean?

I'm fringy. I'm not cool, but I kind of pay attention. Anyway, they've got all kinds of celebs in their family, different celebrities in and out of the family, but by far Tom Brady would Trump any other male celeb in that family that's been in that family now or at any other point. He, Kim Kardashian would be upgrading if she went from Kanye West, the man previously known as Kanye West to Tom Brady. I would, I would think so. Oh yeah, we'd all watch. I would, it'd be better than Hard Knocks.

Screw Hard Knocks. This would be way better. Not even close. I think I would DVR it. That's like a point on television. I don't even know what network the Kardashians are on. I have no, I have no idea, but I would have to find it. It would be like March Madness where you figure out where True TV is. I don't know.

Where True TV is on your guide because you don't know, but you need it. Yes, that would be happening. Would you buy a subscription service? To watch it? No, I'd pilfer it. Somebody'd pilfer it.

I would steal it somewhere. Yeah. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence. We're not as cool as all of these other folks, but the reason we're asking you about your guilty pleasure TV show, and we're referring to reality TV, though I don't think we put it that way on social. So some guy responds with my guilty pleasure TV show is Friends. No, that wasn't a guilty pleasure. That was a cultural phenomenon, but okay. Anyway, we're asking you about your guilty pleasure TV show, the one that you're embarrassed to admit that you watched. No one's yet said keeping up with the Kardashians, but I'm telling you, we're all going to admit it if Tom Brady shows up.

I love The Newlyweds. Fine. Fine.

I know. It's a Facepalm Friday. Where's my Facepalm Friday? We got voice guide talking about Facepalm Friday. Yep.

I just did it for you. It's loud, but I'm just going to out myself. The Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. I watch it all the time. I binged it.

It was my first experience binge watching anything. I couldn't get enough, and I laughed like a hyena at those two. And furthermore, I was crushed when they got divorced. I really was. It made me sad.

It's like they were a part of your life. Oh yes. So part of my life.

So that's my guilty pleasure TV reality show. We're asking you, and no one. Well, okay. That's overstating. That's a little bit of hyperbole. We didn't get a whole lot of response when we were talking about baseball.

It's fine. There's a long way to go in the baseball season. Not a lot of response when we first brought up Wembe and Brittany. No, they're not a celebrity couple. Talked about the Celtics and their free agency strategy. A little bit about Damian Lillard.

No. You want to know what's blown up our social media? Your guilty pleasure TV shows. That is where we are on this Friday morning.

It's some summertime. I've seen Laguna Beach. I've seen The Young and the Restless for 40 years.

So clearly a bit of an older crowd. Did you ever watch a soap? No.

Okay. General Hospital. When I was in college, I got into all my children for a while and then I've heard of that.

I had to break that. It was a habit that died hard, but it's so stupid. You go an entire week and two stars would be in the same room having the same conversation the entire week because it was on every single day and so the producers had to stretch out the storylines. So yeah, one week and the two, a couple would be in the same room having the same conversation for a week.

It's so ridiculous now that I look back, but I did get into it for a little bit. A very short time. It could be a stupid question, but those aren't live, right? No, they're not live.

They're taped and I think probably all taped in the span of a month and then they stretch it out for an entire year. So on Twitter, A Law Radio, because we're still on Twitter, we're not on threads. See, this is better than having the debate about Twitter versus threads, right? We'll let you all do that. The last I knew though, see, I'm looking up. There they are again, Brittany and Vicky. No, let's see.

What can we call them? Brittany Yama. Brittany Yama.

Oh, she was backhanded in the face. That's something that happens on guilty pleasure TV shows like The Real Housewives of Orange County. Jerry Springer. We just got this tweet from CG. Just finished watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians with my girlfriend.

Now answer this CG. If Tom Brady's on it, are you all in and you'll actually admit it? You're all in. I'll admit it. I've never watched one episode of that show, but I will watch it if Tom Brady's on it. So what's your guilty pleasure TV show on this Friday morning?

It's some summertime. We know there's baseball out there. We'll get to it. Fine. We'll talk about sports. Fine. But you all are blowing up our social media now and I have to keep talking because my stomach is growling so loudly that if I don't keep talking, you will, you will hear my stomach.

Ashley on Facebook, millionaire matchmaker. James says survivor. Okay. Guilty pleasure. Would you call survivor a guilty pleasure? I would think not considering that they're into season 42 or something like that now.

It has enough followers. Yeah. Dustin says Gilmore girls. Yeah. That's one. Randy goes with simple life.

It did make me feel better. Sheila breaking Amish. I've never seen that, but I've heard. There's reality shows about everything. Dana says the new love boat. Kim naked and afraid. Kathleen the OG Real Housewives of Orange County. Michael has a face palm emoji with dance moms. I've heard that one was dance moms. It's about the, if I remember correctly, I didn't watch it, but it's about the moms of young girls or boys who dance and how nasty they were to each other and how competitive it was. Dance moms. I would hate that show. Yeah. Well, I mean, you probably hate newlyweds too, but there I was watching it.

I don't know. I might like that one. She was a hoot. She was so blonde.

And I say that as someone who is blonde. Let's see. Ben goes with the Osbournes. Did you?

I love the Osbournes. Oh my goodness. Some of you have said married at first sight, which my nieces got me watching during the pandemic.

Dang it. Also, what was the other one? Oh, 90 day fiance is another one of those stupid matchmaker shows that you, you get sucked down. What's the flavor of love. I think that was the one with flavor flave when he has like 25 women. It's kind of like the batch. He's the bachelor, but yeah, he did like the four seasons of it.

Got it. So David is among those who's saying flavor of love. Derek also says flavor, a lot of flavor of love.

Raymond goes with he's in Miami below deck. Can't get enough. My sister watches that show. Every time she's like, what's it about? It's just, they charter boats. It's like a crew and like, and they go on like the Caribbean or wherever the hell they are. And they have, um, like, like someone rents out the boat with Johnny Damon was on an episode actually.

So Johnny Damon had like a crew of people and they rented out this massive yacht, this charter boat and the crew just, you know, cooks for them, cleans for them, like takes care of them. And that's the show. That's the show. It's just about the people who take care of the guests and they're always like fighting like, Oh, the guests need more cucumber or like the guests. And it's yeah, the chicken it's burning. And it's like the most riveting stuff apparently.

Okay. Well, that's a one new one. I've not heard of before. Aaron says Laguna beach.

I actually named my son after Talon from it. Oh dear. Lisa little people, big world binge watch the first five seasons.

I remember that one too. Whether it's far more reality TV out there than we give it credit for Dr. Pimple Popper. Oh, so gross. Stop it. No, that's disgusting. My sister-in-law watched it on vacation a couple of years ago and I couldn't even go in the same room. I refuse. One of my real good friends in Oklahoma watches it too.

So gross. Uh, let's see Christopher on Twitter says pretty little liars. And then with a shrug emoji French, uh, let's see franchise coach franchise, the real housewives of the Potomac. Uh, let's see another one singled out on MTV. Remember this one Spencer guilty pleasure married at first sight.

All right. Well, at least we're not alone. What's yours again, Jay, the simple life and the OC or two of mine, the simple life and the OC I'm I'm a newlyweds and I do not consider Beverly Hills, 90210 to be reality TV. That was one of my favorites too, but not reality TV. TMZ has photos by the way of Britney Spears and Victor web and Yama a foot apart right before the incident happened. You know that TMZ uses all that crazy dramatic music and they have, they have photos of the two of them walking in the same hallway right before Britney Spears at five, four says she reached her arm up to tap Victor women Yama on the shoulder before she got back handed in the face and her glasses fell off. I'm seeing a new detail come out of this from three hours ago.

I'm on the TMZ Twitter. Oh, Britney Spears. Eyewitness to slap says she screamed quote, this is bleeping America. And that's, that's the headline after the slap to the French basketball player.

She wanted a photo with, she screamed. This is bleeping America. Apparently according to an eyewitness. Okay. But that's on TMZ. Yep. Although TMZ very often does have accurate reporting.

That's cause they pay for stuff. Yeah. But that was three hours ago.

That's a new wrinkle coming out of this. Just here's a question. Would you file a police report if you got backhanded by a security detail of a famous person? I would never like just approach the famous person. Are you kidding? You never, you never know what might happen.

You could get tackled or somebody who can pull a weapon out. Think about what was it? The, um, the, the golf tournament, what, two, three weeks ago, um, I forgot who the winner was. And his friend went to go celebrate with him on the 18th.

Adam Hadwin. Right. And he went to go celebrate with him in the security guard. Was that Keegan Bradley when he wanted the travelers? Exactly. He tackled them. Cause, and that's just for, you know, he's a PJ golfer. Yeah.

No, actually I take it back. It was in Canada. It was the RBC Canadian Open.

Remember? Cause they were Canadian. So whoever, it wasn't Keegan Bradley.

He wanted the travelers. Whoever won was Canadian. Right. Remember when he was so emotional because no Canadians had won there. And then Adam Hadwin is setting off, uh, like a champagne shower and it gets tackled by security.

Yeah. Cause they don't know who he is and he's not supposed to, you can't, you know, it's yeah. So you would never approach us. I wouldn't either.

I wouldn't approach a celeb, but I also wouldn't probably file a police report if I got backhanded by, nor would I scream this is America or whatever. Allegedly scream that. Okay.

Well, if you have a guilty pleasure TV show that you watch to reality, TV is kind of where we're going here. Um, it definitely has to do with sports and the fact that Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian may or may not be into a budding relationship. It's blooming.

I've got to get their friends to have another party where they can hang out. Could you imagine just, just for a second, just consider it for 10 seconds, 10 seconds. All of you out there, wherever you are, just stop for 10 seconds. I know you're getting ready for work. You're planning your weekend at the shore.

It's summer. It's there's a lot going on just for 10 seconds, blank out everything else. And think about Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian coming together. I'm going to say it was the alcohol.

Or maybe not. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. You are listening to the After Hours podcast. One ball, one strike. He said at the belt, the pitch to Schwarber, swing at a ground ball through the right side, a base hit coming around third Sosa.

He's going to score. Stubs will stop at second and Kyle Schwarber with a base hit to right has put the Phillies on top two to one. Big Phillies chant erupting now. The 1-0 swung on line to right base hit Stubs coming around third. They're going to wave him home. It's an RBI single for Turner and the Phillies now lead three to one.

This is After Hours with Amy Lawrence. The Tampa Bay Rays can't get to the All-Star break fast enough. A sweep at the hands of the Phillies who've now won 22 of 29. And I would say watch out for them except with the pace the Braves are setting in the NL East, Phillies are still so far behind.

I think I looked last night and they were what 11 games back? 11 games back in the NL East despite the fact that they've won 22 of their last 29 games. What does that say about the Braves and what they're doing atop that division? Same thing for the New York Mets. They've won five in a row. They're playing some of their best baseball in oh easily a month and a half and they are still 17 and a half games back of the Braves. Even the Marlins who have also been on a torrid pace lately. They can't seem to catch up with the Braves but Phillies are playing more indicative of the team we saw last year that came from the ashes and went all the way to the World Series. 12 straight road wins for the Phillies now.

It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. I still think the story of the first half is the Reds right now. As much as I love what the Marlins are doing and I think it's a big surprise. Also do think the Twins on top of the AL Central is a nice surprise too and of course the Rays who have been one of the best teams in baseball since they started going back in March. To me the Reds being 10 games above 500 and on some kind of an incredible rise right now because of Elie De La Cruz in large part. Do you know he made he well he got called up he got called up to the bigs a month ago. A month ago and you know what they've done since then they've won 20 of 24 and they've got all kinds of guys who are pitching in. I do love the fact that Joey Votto and Elie are BFFs. A 39 year old or I guess he's 40 now a 40 year old and a 21 year old. They're BFFs but Elie was called up.

The team started playing like nobody's business. He's a spark plug. He's a catalyst. He brings a lot of energy.

He really does have this energy that's contagious even for Joey Votto who's talked about it and every night now it feels like with the Reds it's a different guy who steps up like Nick Senzel on Thursday. Here's CJ Abrams with a runner at second one out and Abrams lifts a fly ball to right field moving back on it. Senzel on the warning track. He leaps and makes the catch leaping into the wall. What a play by Senzel. That was a game saver. Turned around contorting his body. Leaped up made the catch and kept the runner at second. And he hits this ball high and deep and way back there and gone. Nick Senzel is the hero of the day. How about that?

Oh my goodness. Make a great play. Lead off the next inning with a bomb. Five three Reds and I mean that dugout is exploding on the third base side.

I think I'm just looking for for fastball kind of kind of middle and I know I know he throws hard to just try to be short to it and quick and let his velocity kind of kind of take over and that's kind of what I did. Nick Senzel next man up for the Cincinnati Reds and you can hear the calls there on the Reds radio network. So yeah two hottest teams in baseball right now along with the Braves who were idle last night. It's got to be the Phillies and the Reds.

So yeah we can poke fun at the NL Central but the Reds are actually leading it and our 10 games above 500. Coming up an injury to an MVP candidate that we need to get to. Man that the again the break can't come fast enough because these teams that we've talked about these last couple days that are kind of backpedaling or dealing with injuries. We know the Angels are hanging on by a thread as well so pretty soon the break. They go into the weekend and that's it and then they're on their all-star break for most of next week. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on Facebook as well as on Twitter After Hours CBS and it makes sense.

We explained it at the top of the hour. We've gone down this reality tv show rabbit hole in honor of well kind of Britney Spears and then kind of Kim Kardashian and then in honor of Tom Brady and the fact that they may be having a budding relationship we can either confirm nor deny. Anyway we've admitted to our guilty pleasures when it comes to tv shows mostly reality shows. I'll just admit it I was a shill for the newlyweds.

I absolutely loved it and some of you are reminding me of shows that I've forgotten all about. Love After Lockup. Ew that just sounds terrible. I never heard of that one. Oh Dukes of Hazzard was not a reality show. Josh says OutDaughtered. Elliot goes with My 600-pound Life.

Let's see Randy goes with Rock of Love. Oh good one. Yeah Pam goes with Judge Judy. Would you call that? I guess it is technically reality tv.

I would. I don't know if that's a guilty pleasure show though. Yeah I guess. All right uh sports related. Marcellus says Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders making the team.

Oh I can imagine that was vicious at times. Michael admits to keeping up with the Kardashians. Teresa also goes with My 600-pound Life and then Bob says Big Brother which has become more mainstream now.

It's survived so it's become more mainstream. On Twitter Henry says Hoarders Jay. No absolutely not. I cannot watch that show. It freaks me out.

It does. I had a Hoarders phase though. Not a long one. Not a big one but yeah I had there was a time in my life for maybe like a month or two where I watched that show. It's gross honestly that show. Is it grosser than Pimple Popper because that's pretty damn gross. It's a different gross but like it still makes me want to throw up. To think about either one of those shows makes me want to throw up. Pimple Popper is disgusting like just straight up. Like Hoarders is like just makes me like uncomfortable I don't know.

It's funny because well funny not funny haha. It's interesting though because after that show became popular do you know how many people would say oh I know a Hoarder or that person's a Hoarder or yeah it became the thing everyone had to know a Hoarder and and had to admit that oh that family next to me is Hoarders. I just that didn't make me think of one remember extreme couponing. Yes. That was a similar one they would they would people I might still be on people go to the store and they spend like five hundred dollars on stuff they don't need but then just because they have coupons and then they end up like they people they pay the store pays them like a dollar fifty at the end it's insane and like they have one transaction that goes wrong and it's like they have a meltdown it's crazy.

Remember when Hoarders would lose people and pets in their homes? Yeah. That's scary. It's a health hazard. It's horrible. It is horrible. That's why I'm saying it's like gross in like a different way it's just like yeah it's like unsettling. It's unhealthy.

Yeah. But also can be an addiction like we're talking about with our guilty pleasure tv shows. Prince on Twitter goes with fatal attraction tv's fatal attraction. Spongebob is not a guilty pleasure. Aaron wants us to say wants us to uh include Spongebob.

That's not a guilty pleasure. Let's see another tweet from Johnny Cheaters if you remember that show. Remember swingers? That was another one that people started watching for a while. Chris says there was a show with a girl that had two heads and they would argue with each other. Yeah.

No way. Conjoined twins. They would argue with each other that was the show? Well they're they're yeah they were the bait show but with the same person two people they were just were sharing a body they were conjoined twins but they were two different people there's got to be more than they argued with each other I mean yes I'm sure the show is more about them arguing with each other oh my gosh all of this and on top of it twice we've played Britney Spears music here on the show we've never done that before and after hours we're breaking new ground I hope this is the show that you would call the guilty pleasure that you can't get enough of. I want to be that cool.

I want to be trendy. No I really don't. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence. You are listening to the After Hours Podcast. Swing and a miss by Corbin. Oh shoulder again. And he grabbed it in some pain his right shoulder and he's in some kind of pain. That one froze him.

Yeah. And he is talking to the trainer. He'll bring him out. But as soon as he swung the bat there dropped the bat right behind the plate. He's holding that right arm as he heads to the dugout. Thank goodness. Yeah that is just not a good sign there. Fold on the pitch and with the follow-through you can certainly see where that really got his right arm he grabbed it immediately.

This is After Hours with Amy Lawrence. You want to talk about scary and tense for the Diamondbacks. It's bad enough they just got swept by the Mets and have lost what is it four in a row but their rookie all-star Corbin Carroll goes down with a right arm injury and that's what it's being classified as right now. But the reason it matters not only because of how important he is to their status in their future but because he's had shoulder issues before. He's missed time because of shoulder pain already this season and he had surgery on the same shoulder a couple of years ago.

So you can understand the concern in the voices on the Diamondbacks radio network. Now he did come back and sit in the dugout though he left the game and was unable to continue and Tori Lovello after the game was trying to offer an update and trying to stay positive. He has some right shoulder discomfort there's no mystery to it and you know things checked out a little bit more positive than I was expecting based on what I saw.

We all saw the same thing I just was this far from it you guys probably saw it on a on a screen on a tv screen and you know it didn't look good so for the the last three or four innings I that's all I was thinking about was like how's Corbin? How's Corbin? How's he emotionally?

How's he physically? So I just got in here and I mean we got some encouraging news and I'm not gonna lie the stability of shoulder checked out and you know there's there's different parts of of the arm that work differently than than any of us know and it's well above my pay grade it's exactly what's going on. Yeah a little bit scary though if you think about it so close to the all-star break too which would be even worse and he's been struggling with it but was able to sit the dugout again. We're talking about one of the bright young stars of this season who's batting just under 300 already has 18 home runs nearly 50 RBI and this is with missing some time because of that shoulder that would stink if he ended up having it turn into an issue or another injury for him after he thought it was in the past and has finally made it to the big leagues. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence here on CBS Sports Radio.

This has nothing to do with baseball but I wanted to make sure you knew about that before the all-star break. What just happened? Why are you on the floor?

Are you okay? What just happened? Oh no oh my gosh I'm only laughing if you're okay did you just die? What did I broke a chair? Oh no okay this is from my perspective Sean Marash who's part of the DA show for a little while longer he just comes into the studio at my invitation so he wasn't invading and I hear a crash and look over and you were on the floor.

I'm so embarrassed. What just happened? I sat down in the chair but you have a piece in your hands or something broke. When he's not choking on marshmallows as part of Chubby Bunny he's breaking chairs.

Was it a wheel that cracked in half? I told you I'll look after the show is over right now the chair is firmly in place. Should we have someone else sit down in it and see if they fall over too? The good news is Schwartz will at 6 30 a.m. so I'm sure you know what perfect I'm not gonna tell him.

Eastern time okay so no one missed that. Well would a cupcake make you feel better? Yeah I mean it wouldn't make the chair feel better perhaps that's a sign. Forget the chair I'm only worried about you and I would like it on record as no and we need to know that I asked about you and if you were okay because I hear a crash and I look over and there you are on the floor.

I feel like Kramer coming in on Seinfeld. Oh no okay so the reason I'm asking you to come in here is is well twofold. Number one I guess because I need someone to sit in that chair and make sure it was actually broken. Just kidding I didn't know that it was broken. I didn't know but I promised you and Andrew Bogusch cupcakes this morning.

Yes. So here's what happened I want you to know why they're ugly but but here you can smell. Ugly? Oh just smell them go ahead and smell how yummy the festive funfetti cupcakes are okay well you can. Chocolate is the best smelling frosting. You're gonna bring one you're gonna eat one you're gonna take one with you or two if you like but here's the problem they're ugly. No no no no wait let me tell you I almost cried I want you to know I was emotionally invested and I and I nearly cried. Oh I mean not over cupcakes.

No seriously over cupcakes and because I was so happy to bring in the festive July 4th decorated funfetti cupcakes with the red white and blue sprinkles. I'm getting close to the Lincoln tunnel okay so CBS radio headquarters is in New York City for those of you who don't know the commute was brutal last night so much traffic construction the tunnels backed up some dodo gets confused about what lane he's in don't ask me why at the last second we're headed for a split a fork he decides. A fork in the road. A fork in the road well fork in the in the feet into the tunnel he decides he's going left he wants to go right but but he doesn't give himself enough room to break and go right so instead he nearly hits a barrier he ends up horizontal over across two lanes so because of that I'm feeding downhill into the Lincoln tunnel I have to slam my brakes on I stop thankfully because Princess Leia has the force and great brakes but the cupcakes do not so the cupcakes in their Tupperware they're on the passenger's seat. You didn't do the move put your arm out no it was one of those that happened so quickly and maybe if it was a child I would have but it was cupcakes anyway so I I slam on my brakes I'm I'm just like no thinking I want to hit him I don't but the cupcakes they have inertia they keep going they flip upside down in their Tupperware they're smashed all to hell so while I'm going through the Lincoln tunnel I reach over and pick them up like you're not supposed to be doing I open them while I'm in the Lincoln tunnel because I'm so upset I'm nearly crying because the cupcakes are smashed I can see the the top has got chocolate all over it the Tupperware so I get chocolate on my pants I open up the temple there's there's sprinkles everywhere I get into work and I try to fix them but they have they they are they're they're malfunctioned no they're malnourished they're disformed what's mouth what's the word I'm looking for they're I don't know if you're asking me to have words I know it's like when I was disfigured they're disfigured and and uninformed so grotesquely now that well it's not the prettiest cupcakes but I would say you did they were the prettiest cupcakes and then I had to slam on the brakes and they went flying and so I nearly cried you're forgetting one important thing Amy and that is that me and Andrew Bogus who are going to eat some of these cupcakes we don't care how they look we care how they taste but you did just say I mean they're they're kind of ugly yeah but when I am driving home today in I guess my Darth Vader when I am driving home today I'm going to be thinking about how good these taste because you're the best baker pound for pound CBS they were all so pretty they were so pretty that's all right look you save the sprinkles for a range of playoff run next year and we're good okay yeah but still they were beautiful I finally figured out how to frost cupcakes I they were puffy that was the thing there was a puff of chocolate frosting on top smells good the chocolate's puffing in my nose right now and now they're they're disfigured that's okay they're adults okay same thing all right well just hopefully once you take a bite out of them you'll forget that the cupcakes were yeah ugly me and Andrew Bogus have a pack we're going to start the show at six by biting into the cupcakes am eastern time yes yes yes 3 a.m pacific right so I just wanted to let you know that in case you notice that they look a little funny there's a reason for it they're not as disfigured as the chair that's true I mean the cupcakes didn't matter after you broke a chair and ended up on the floor I can't believe that happened I can't either but that's okay how would you feel about Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady by the way good for both of them you know would it be an upgrade for both of them yes I think so I think Tom Brady would stabilize Kim Kardashian a little bit she's too in love with her own family she needs to branch out she does need to branch out Brady's got his own kids Brady's kids being brother or sister with Kanye West kids is an amazing uh dynamic and I think Brady you know what that's a good at Giselle guess what you think that you know you made all this money as a mom guess what I'm with a card I'm with the Kardashian now I'm pro that right and how about this keeping up with the Kardashians would have millions of new viewers if Tom Brady was at dinner yes oh my gosh we discovered that earlier reality tv like it's never been before spin-off now whatever it is called now it's not keeping up with oh no it still is they're in season number something something it's not an e anymore it's on like hulu or yes okay but it's still the same show yeah well my my wife watches oh yeah we're talking about guilty pleasure
