All right, Happy Friday. I forget.
So I'm Ross and your name is Manny and you I should know your name. But you told us last time we talked to you told us what your walk up song should be?
What's your walk up song?
I don't want to be rocky.
Let's just leave it at that.
And I think they could use my talent.
I'm Jared Poulis. Yeah, you're right, but what do you what's your walking up today?
What's our walk up sign? Let's see your song? So maybe Zach can play your walk up? So what you give me a chance to walk up? You can play whatever song you're like.
Ross, I've actually recently changed mine, evitor. My walk up song would be Healed to the Chief, because that's ultimately the ultimate walk up song.
Probably be a better one than our third one.
So that you are against the tariffs, right.
I don't think they're a great idea.
I vote for you, for you and then see situation in case.
In case you didn't hear him introduced himself, I should have introduced properly, Governor. Jared Poulus joins us on the show, You Rockeys fan, uh not first pitch this game?
You know what?
I say, look, we have one win already. I'm ready for our second win tonight.
Let's do this, let's today.
Oh, I grew up with it.
You know.
My mom was my little league coach when I was five six. I of course played through high school. So and I played on the Congressional baseball team.
Yeah I remember RBI leader.
Yeah, I'm a big baseball guy player.
And now my daughter's in little league.
So we have a lot of where'd you go to elementary school out of San Diego? Yeah, but no, this was a little league for the community.
The team.
You know, Yeah, what position did your dog play?
My daughter, well, you know, she pitches, uh, center field and pitcher, and I'm a first basement and third basement.
I played the hot corners. I pitched a bit in high school as well.
Yeah, when you come to these Rockies games, are you here as the governor to glad hand and talk to people and kind of do that or do you really have the opportunity to sit and watch you.
When people see me there, feel free to say hi. Obviously I'm there to watch the game, but like, yeah, I'm nice and people can say hi, and I'll say hi back. So that's that's cool. But yeah, of course I'm there to like watch the.
Game, and you do, like you because I'm gonna and I'm going to talk about the Kentucky Derby, which is a phenomenal even if you've never been. But the politicians there, they don't get a break. They don't get to sit and enjoy it. And I always wonder like, do you have a chance, So they put the little velvet rope around you.
It's because you know, you're usually seeing you know, you're seated in a certain area and you say how the people around you and then you know a few people might walk by during it, but generally you get to watch the game, so it goes pretty well.
You're doing a thing in the fourth inning today?
What are you doing?
I am going to be calling the game for an inning. I'm excited about that with my second time doing that. I hope it's a good inning for the Rockies. I think I'm doing the top of the bottom of the inning, so I got my little stories ready.
Is that you use an old timey radio voice like, oh.
You know how about that?
Man?
That's that's what this politics thing doesn't for you.
I'm under one of.
Your roles, so you know what, you're gonna have to fight Jack and Jerry, because that's a pretty good gig. When you were a kid, did you want to be a professional? Was that like thought in your day?
I always yeh, I would love to be a baseball player. And uh, you know I never quite had the skills. But you know, maybe maybe now I'm measuring up. Now they have a d H I can I can you know I could do that?
Can't be worse than Chris Bryan has started out.
Oh my gosh, to come through. I have confidence. We got to have faith here.
Do you hit for power or off season training?
Yeah, let's see if it starts paying off.
I'm a good hitter, I I know, I'm more of a you know, single doubles hitter.
Yeah, so you put it in play though, put it play.
You know? Uh, you know, line drives out of the Are you a base Steeler? No?
I want to look if you play the if you're your again first baseman, that probably says enough.
Usually one of the slower playoffs on the team.
Know, but you could probably add, you know, if solid ten percent to Jewish sports legends, the pamphlet one day, there you.
Go, there, you go, there, I go something that just happened? Baba, what just happened?
You know? The Sundance film Fester.
That's really cool and really just what they do a baseball field films from time to time.
You can to tell it. Even that favorite.
Baseball yeah yeah, oh, I'll go to Natural. The Natural.
That's a good with solid yeah, but not the best one.
Oh what I go rogue on this?
Okay.
My favorite baseball movie of all time is For the Love of the Game Kevin Costner, because it's about the end of a guy's career and he has this whole life retrospective as he's pitching his final no hitter during this game, and it's just such a great movie about baseball and about aging and about realizing that you're your brighter most you know, amazing days are behind you. And it's a great baseball movie. I love that movie, and I think it's underrate.
Let's check it out.
I want to ask you a question about a different sport just for a second. Okay, are you hearing anything that you're allowed to tell us?
So this would be uh.
I can tell you, but.
I have to kill you about what might happen with the Broncos stadium.
Well, so we are excited about we talked about sun Dad's Uh you know, look, I mean we are the Broncos are committed to our state and our city and that's great. So I mean, I think we're happy to work with them, and we want to make sure there's a long term way to keep them in Denver and keep in Colorado.
Is that it is that? I mean the balls in their court?
Right, I mean we know, I mean, they're a great partner for this state.
They're a great partner. They want to stay here.
Uh, and we just have to, you know, make it happen.
All right, Now, if the Rockies win today, when you dip into the fourth to call the game, you realize that in baseball, Lord, that means.
That you're the lucky charm.
So are you going to be able to carve out time to be able to come back to call the fourth inning for the foreseeable future to keep the good luck going?
Is that if we have a good inning, we are going to and that's you know, then I'll come back for another four. You got to commit, are you looking for? Are you a little bit superstitious? I a little bit, especially when it comes to baseball stuff.
Yeah, give me an example.
Oh, you know baseball stuff.
Yeah, I mean, as I said, you know, if if I call the fourth, anything goes and I'll be back. But it could be uh, you know, wearing your hat a certain way. What are the blue shoes a superstition or just a habit?
I uh, these are kind of a dark Luther I like.
To think of Rockies purple, but they're kind of But they're Colorado shoes.
Yeah, they're Colorado. They're very cool.
Yeah, aren't they cool.
They're made by Zero It's a Colorado company, and they have they make a bunch of them.
They make like eighty different models or something. But this one has a color.
I've never seen those. And there's we love the Colorado flag clothing here.
Is it fun.
I've never lived in a state.
Where they wore the flag as often as we wear the Colorado.
That's cause we have a really cool flag.
I mean, you look at some other states, they don't yeh wants to wear their flag.
We have good branding, you.
Know, good brand, good good brand Colorado.
You know what's like even when you're traveling wherever in New York or Texas or California, you see every now and then you see someone with like a Colorado flag on their cap and you're like, oh, yeah, where are.
You from, you know, and they're always like Mississippi. But I got the hat when I was there.
Yeah, exactly.
What I was gonna say. Clearly the best movie about Baseball's Major League.
This is a movie.
I'm telling you people watch for the love of the game, and you will begin to see the over arching genius of that movie.
It's a great genre of baseball films, and you know it's it's a fun one. We got to go like the Bad News Bears. All that stuff too, is funny stuff.
Well, we had a guy earlier stop by. He's a lovely man. His name is Roger. And did you know that there's a historical baseball league here in Colorado and they go out and play.
I saw them play.
Okay, so I actually saw people.
And I thought I was dreaming it first, and I'm like, what the hell's going on? It was outside, I don't know, some it was on some field somewhere.
I was driving by, and.
They're wearing these old timey uniforms and it looked like something from the nineteen twenties, and I'm like, am.
I dreaming the old ball and it's like the not regular gloves they play.
It was like either no gloves or like maybe the old like barely gloves.
I feel like that is where you need to go.
I'm ready for real.
Pay the dude came by before, and I think I actually think you'll probably get more out of the book than I will. So I'm going to give that to you great and and.
I think you would be a book full of like a lot of pictures of the old time in uniforms we were talking about they would they seem kind of baggy?
I mean it was kind of wed. I mean there will uniforms that would be good for a.
Day like todayes, maybe we're lucky.
Did you just regift on the air? Is that private?
No?
The show? He is a huge baseball fan.
This for you, Yeah right, I look the root.
It's just for you. Oh I guys, I hope he's not listening now. Can I ask a question, Governor?
Are you good at jeopardy? Do you play Jeopardy?
You know?
I mean like years ago or decades ago.
I used to play like that video game version of Do you just like.
Watch it on TV and yell out the answers.
Never I don't watch it on TV, but I used to play the video game version.
I bet you'd be good at It's fun.
It's fun.
I think this may be going somewhere. There may be a purpose.
It is a question.
Do we have someone to play of the Day?
Well, okay, we've got it.
Never mind stick around anyway, and for sure, Wait.
I'll take rock Hilton.
That's pretty much.
It's straight up.
His first basement, all Hilton Alton.
So tell Jared what this is about. What we're doing game.
At the end of the show, show, I'd love to have you on anytime, Governor Call of the Day? Were people out here? We're gonna try and beat me in a jeopardy category in order to one tickets to. I don't know which topic it is. A rod is the one who chooses? Did you leave it with Zach? Who's calling?
Who's calling the topics for today? You already chose the topic? Usually usually lose.
I've been playing this goo on my show for twenty years. I pretty much I win a lot, but I don't win every time.
Got it?
They look formidable and one of them is like smoking. Look ready, they look pretty Formidivele in.
Okay, this guy's running smack at me over here. He's like, I'm going down.
You're coming to beat you.
Okay, So Guverner, thank you, thank you, Rocky.
All right, I'm going to be listening in on you calling the game, and if I don't hear an old time radio voice, I'm going to be disappointed. I'm not lying.
Ready to go for just one call, just one that would.
Be fabulous, fast headed a second like one.
Of the fourth inning on KOA. Governor pol Is calling the game.
Make it happen.
