You got some good stories for us.

Yeah, it's about the easiest thing I do all week finding cops that rock. Let's start in Philadelphia where last Wednesday in Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion neighborhood.

That's a good neighborhood. Mm hmm, that used to be. It's good on Candy Land, I think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they put a liquor store on the end, on the corner. It's not sane.

Well.

A four year old boy was found safe after being abducted in a stolen vehicle. Police responded to a call just before midnight from the toddler's mom, who reported her Toyota SUV had been taken with her sleeping son inside.

Yeah, this car was stolen and the kid accidentally was in the back right.

She left the car running outside of a relative. Child with a childhood in Philadelphia with a child at midnight.

Go grab her phone. I saw that coming. Wow.

I was just gonna run in and get some grabbing her phone because she left it behind. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says the mom informed officers that one of her son's toys had an electronic tracker. Oh nice, allowing them to follow the vehicle's location using real time updates. A police helicopter quickly spotted the suv about a mile away. Officers converged the vehicle was abandoned, the child still asleep inside.

Once they found the child.

Split Now that's a tired kid.

Yeah. Let through the whole thing. Uh huh? What happened?

Can I get some ice cream?

Anything you want?

I'll leave the car running like going and get it. There's a lot of trackers in everything now, right, so by following us everywhere?

Everywhere? Yeah, everywhere.

Last week, a Saginaw, Michigan resident was left without his bike after it was stolen, taking away his main source of transportation. Detective Albert Presley was assigned to the case, but he had no leads on the bike thief despite his best efforts. Sounds like a Nancy Drew episode kind of does There's a Stolen Bike Encyclopedia.

Brown.

Understanding how much the bike meant to the man, he decided to step in in a different way. Presley used his own money to buy him a brand new bike. A photo shared on social media by the saganaw PD captured the man's joy as he received the unexpected gift. The department praised Presley's generosity, well known compassion and commitment to the community.

Good for them finding the bike. I didn't have a tracker.

Was he homeless? Didn't say? He's probably want to calm unruthed or a couple d A couple duys.

Participate in using cocaine, the price is going to go up just a tad bit. It looks like because Customs and Border Protection Agency had a massive confiscation of cocaine last Friday. It happened at Roma port of entry in Texas. It's where officers found one point six million dollars worth of cocaine stashed in the back of a tractor trailer it was supposed to be hauling soft drinks. The total weight of the cocaine one hundred and twenty pounds.

Well, I think sometimes these drug dealers go, yeah, I give them one shipment to think that they're doing something. It could be so much drugs come.

Across that they called the tip in. They called themselves what.

All right, now it's like fourteen bucks. I'm listening to it again.

Well, you're the one that put mean, go get through this entire experience again.

Because every week on the show they painted an egg. So not since the price of tea in China, if we had the price of eggs reported every single day. Thanks to the bird flu, they had to h yeah, dispose of millions of chickens.

You're gonna sell eggs.

No, I think it's crazy. Dwight's distracted.

I'm distracted. Pat Kelly walking in something shiny, walks into the What are you talking about? Yeah? I thought you were yoking. Oh yeah, that's a dollar out right there. That's good.

But there's a couple of Pat Kelly's. One of them is deceased. It's not him, but it's not well, let me turn these questions up. Yeah.

No, but you were actually a manager for a Mexican league in Mexico, and there wasn't there some kind of a confusion between you and the other Pat Kelly.

Yeah.

We I had just signed to manage the Hermiceal club in the wintertime in Mexico, and so at the end of the season, I was managing Richmond for the Braves and I had to have next surgery. So I had called the owner and said, I'm gonna be two weeks late to you know, to their spring training camp for winter balling. So I have the surgery. I get back home that weekend and Pat Kelly, the reverend who played with the White Sox and the Oroos, a black outfielder.

Now I have to pay you. So how many people you think you've managed? Like how many players? Like, I mean, shoot a number at me. Like my point is you don't remember them all. Like I'm sure some people have come up to you and or do you remember them all? Somebody come up here and say, hey, coach or whatever, but that you don't remember them.

No.

I had a guy in spring training a couple of years ago come up and you know, hey, p K, how you doing. You know, all this kind of stuff, and I'm like, you know, he looks really familiar, and I got to play along and all that, and then you know, he ends up walking away. We talked about families and all that kind of stuff, and that.

Player was Aaron hernandanzing I grabbed.

One of the other coaches and I said, hey, who is that. He says, that's Doug Simon.

I said, well, you can't be a skipper of a baseball team without first playing I would imagine you played in the majors. You got signed by the get signed by the Angels. But the salary wasn't that big, wasn't What was your salary? What they signed you for?

Well, I got a I was a third round draft choice, so I got a big bonus. I got twenty thousand dollars. And then I went to Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Okay, I'll get you a dozen eggs.

These was.

I played for five hundred dollars a month. We went on the road. We got five dollars a day for meal money. And I always remember I was seventeen years old. So wow, I got my first paycheck.

That was huge.

I cleared one hundred and eighty nine dollars.

You thought you were rich.

I had never seen so many twenty dollars in my pi. I thought, this is this is the greatest job ever. And so the end of season, get a contract in the spring for the next year, and I got a raise. They paid me five hundred and twenty five dollars.

Twenty five dollars.

All right, let's let's make it. I think we got some announcements to me. Greg Gilliet, how are you, sir?

I am great, thanks for having us.

And the season starts a little earlier than we used to write. It's in March, not April.

Yeah, March twenty eighth, Friday night, and actually the big leagues get started the day before, in.

The twenty seventh, so nice. We need the weather to behave oh well.

And then actually two weeks after that, we're back home for thunder over Louisville on April.

Hey? How are you?

We got music. Oh, this is the big announcement music, Nick, hang on, you gotta, it's gotta.

It's the said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

His name is Nick. His name is Nick, Nick Kurrn. Tell me the news.

Well, the news is that, uh we used to be obviously the games the radio broadcast on iHeart and after a few year hiatus, back on.

Sports Radio seven ninety o Sports Talk seven ninety also, welcome back.

Hey, it's great to be back.

I love it.

Hey, Nick, it's tough to announce baseball games because well there is downtime. So I've got some you know, some stories and some jokes I can share with you, just to Sprea go in there when you're calling, when you're calling bats.

Basically we probably used them all.

That's funny.

Tune in this, Jim Couch and me for for home games.

Well, you guys are great.

We'll get crazy. Guys are the wall when things get out of hand.

Sometimes you make it entertaining and fun and keep it informed. It's a it's a great deal. And I listened to him on seven ninety all the time.

So drive it home for wherever.

But I appreciate you guys believing in us and and coming back home. Uh seven nineties where you all belong. That's where you belong.

I got a question for Nick. So you've been calling the games for years. You do damn good job. You're you are. I'm not saying that you're here, but you're you're really, really good. App You're really good at what you do. Oh, I'm sorry, I was I not the sound effect.

You're kissing his ass right now? Do you don't have to set him up with a compliment.

You're a journalist. I'm the journalist, That's what I'm saying.

No, so, Nick, do you still get nervous going in to call the games? Because we do this every day and I'm not always nervous coming.

In, but something we don't care, so.

We do you get nervous before you take the mic? Because I got it. It's a lot of pressure, man.

No, really, no, no, so many.

I mean maybe certain things if like PK was about to win his two thousandth game last year and you don't want to like mess that up, and so that makes you nervous. Yeah, stuff like that. You get nervous during the game as things play out, but not not as it starts. Like if there's a potentially like big walk off, or if there's like a no hitter happening or something like that, you get nervously.

I think the hardest part of your job, yeah, is pronouncing.

Well that's okay, That's where I was going. You can be you know what can You'll be.

Great if you just flawlessly pronounce all the difficult names, like you know a Lejandro he does do that, but yeah, really screw up the names like Bob Henderson, Bob hen darry on the.

Right, Okay, Nick, fantastic news back home on seven ninety. I think that is fantas I said, I can't wait to see the call letters up on the on the on the whether whether the box is there and started. We still have the news of the possibility of the of the remodel at Slugger Field, which is in in play and it could be the model that they use

And I'm hoping maybe in the next few months we'll have some more information. A lot of stuff going on right now behind the scenes. Okay, we'll keep hopefully.

I want to shift back to Pat Kelly.

So, Pat Kelly, you get into it every once in a while with the umpires. Do you ever think, hey, when the same umpire comes back, they might hold a grudge against you.

You all know them, right, I mean you with them all the time.

Do you ever think, hey, I went too far Now he's going to hold a grudge against me?

And no, not really.

I mean I think it's very important that if I got ejected the night before. Always make sure I take the lineups up the next day and you know, try to say some kind of joke and be joevealed, just to show that you know that I'm not upset, Okay, And then usually they're pretty good about it.

And do you fraternize with them on the road, like if you see.

Them in the bar? Oh no?

No, Hey, guys, we got a solution for this also, okay, And of August, we're giving away a Pat Kelly bobblehead.

No.

And the pose we have is, of course Pat arguing with an umpire. So our thought is we're going to put these in the umpire's locker room when they first get to the ballpark, may greet them.

That's gotta be.

That's gotta be super cool for you, like you're ablehead and you're yelling at her.

You know.

Yeah, that's perfect. I mean, I think there was three straight years between Pensylcola and Louisville where my baseball card that came out every year was arguing with an.

I thought it was perfect.

Do you curse in these arguments or you keep it clean? Depends on the violation.

I have only done one argument where I did not cuss, did not cuss, And that was only because I was managing in Chattanooga and they tell vise about four or five games, and so I was miked and they did all kinds of funny things are different things. Bairyfoot was the color commentator, and he actually sat in the dugout one night and we were getting no hit and I actually walked up to him in the sixth thing and I said, I said, if we don't get to hit this inning.

You're gone, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes.

And so anyway, I miked, and I remember telling my daughter Mike because my daughter was young, and she'd get really upset whenever I started to argue. She'd run onto the concourse. I always have to get her and say, you know, and she goes, oh, daddy's gonna come home. He's going to be mad tonight. So I told her that,

I guarantee it was.

And then I was able to take the videotape and show it to my daughter and tell her, see, this is Daddy's just doing his job.

He's not really bad.

The best part about it is a year ago or two years ago, I'm down there on weather situation, so I'm sitting close to the field and he gets into it and his great line was, why do.

You think you were in the bunk?

Yeah, minor leagues terrible And I've used that before, dude, rather because uh, yeah, you're here.

Oh my god.

Part of my job is just being honest.

I wants to deal with the dirt, kicking the dirt on the shoes. Who started that? You don't do that? Yeah, I assure you do, right. You know what.

I have never kicked dirt on an umpire. I kicked it on the plate stuff like that. But I think that started.

I don't know.

I remember we were doing it when I when I growing up and Billy Martin and all that. But I'm sure that was the thing back in the day. I know in Japan at one time you could actually kick him in the shin oh. And I always thought I want to manage in Japan.

That's fantastic. Do you ever last question?

We'll move on.

Ame there a bats Baseball dot coll for tickets. Do you ever go into the game knowing you're gonna get thrown out?

Or you walk out? I'm gonna get thrown out tonight.

You know it's funny because I will say something to my coaches and say, you know what I'm going tonight and I don't get ejected, and then there's then there's nights for I'm like very calm and.

You get thrown out.

He'll come to us and say, do you need me to get tossed? And I do you need some time for fireworks?

It's not dark yet. You know the game's.

So do you ever do it just to fire up the team and the fans? Or do you every time pissed off? No?

I think what it comes down to for me is, you know if I come out there Andy, Hey, you know PK, that was really a close play. I was, I was in a great position. It was bang bang, and I think I got it right. Now, how can I argue with that, isn't that When I go out there and that guy gives me that look like what are you doing?

Then it's over.

There's there's an advertising possibility.

Yeah right, okay, all right, definitely.

Okay, all right, I can see a TV radio commercial right now with calming this guy down.
