And I’ll let him tell that story had never been the drug city. Everybody’s going to cost this you know, people come to Dundalk for different things. But drug city is an institution. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it. That’s sort of the catchphrase here. I didn’t want hot rod off for like six months, I’ve been chasing them around. I thought I don’t want to bring them over the studio don’t really want to do them on a zoom. It’s proper that we would have crabcake it’s somewhere and he’s on the road touring or whatever.

You know, I remember I’d be to show up looking for a place to stay and mostly people who had kitchens were willing to help me out. They’d always have an extra room you know, in their place. People that didn’t bake were usually pretty much just like they probably had one off his speed and freaking sleep next to the cat everybody had
Nestor Aparicio 03:27

Rodney Henry 03:32
sometimes sometimes it was what it was cool is the first time I did it, people the word traveled fast that I was running around pies. And I made 60 pecan pies and loaded them in a van with you know, with some dry goods and stuff and all my amps and stuff and we hit the road man and I honestly I took my tour that I just did on the West Coast and I had pied every show and you know every three days I get to Airbnb and bake ton of pies show up at the shows. I mean, it’s you know, that gets you wrong. No, I’m making tons of dough like performing them. It’s like having pie really makes gets me in a better place. It’s real. It’s been it’s been cool man, like this whole 20 years is like going through last stuff had a lot of shots. Now it’s back down to two, which is totally Where are you now you’re in Hamden hemmed in on the Avenue 810 West 36th street and then 2035 O’Donnell street Kennett square.

Nestor Aparicio 06:08

Rodney Henry 06:31

Nestor Aparicio 06:42

Rodney Henry 06:57
see exactly because that’s your badass moment. Because you’re talking about dudes. Yes. Talk about
Nestor Aparicio 07:05
25 I looked shocked LM I saw that pie. And I’m like, That’s rod these pie. And next thing I know you’re here.
Bill Yerman 07:12
How do you make a creme brulee pie?
Rodney Henry 07:15
Well, it’s not really. It’s basically you’re making a custard pie,
Bill Yerman 07:17
but it’s like you’re not doing the
Nestor Aparicio 07:21
Greatest Songs Ever. Led Zeppelin custard riff rip he
Rodney Henry 07:26
has this basically have some cinnamon and I busted up Marang folded into the custard in the air in the egg white cooks grabs a little sugar and specifically as a crust on top. You want to hit it like that? You could? Not certain it’s gonna be right. Exactly. But that sounds that’s the best way to describe a white trash trembling.
Bill Yerman 07:46
Rod. I will be at the Pike Place. Right after this.
Rodney Henry 07:50
Dog. Yeah, baby. Dog city. Come on. Joey CJ, I tell you. I was so psyched to come here today.
Nestor Aparicio 07:57
No kissing. So I was trying to get people to come to drug city. And I did the show. On Thursday cost isn’t it? Last time I saw you was a cost. I saw your brother in cost this last week. We didn’t have electricity costs. The reason drugs city is my sponsor is the good looking guy that just sees the top dude over here. So Chuck is he has his own bar see to cost this is right near the men’s room. I don’t know why it’s close to Mr. Costas, his office. Maybe he’s protective right on the right with a lottery machine. He’s in the back where the whiskey and cash sign is right. I was in there was a year ago. I was in there a year ago, watching a ballgame. And ZZ Top comes up to me says hey, I’m Chuck. I know you are you’re now you said I work in drug city. You do this crabcake thing. Once you come to drug city, you get a crab cake. And I’m like, Dude, I’ve been going to drug city since before I remember. Like I’ve been going to drug city since I was three years old. I bought every wrestling magazine 1970 770-879-8081 82 Kevin Eck would call me and he’d say, the new magazines are in a drug city, boom, my parent, my brother have to bring me down here. And then I hit that golden age of puberty and I stopped caring about that. And I went into baseball and football and I will get all the preview magazines down here because they had an incredible periodical and magazine section in the front.
Bill Yerman 09:20
You say for fantasy 1982
Nestor Aparicio 09:24
Topic fantasy. This before fit that different. I’m gonna give you a different kind of fantasy 1982 1415 And this new thing happens. The VCR videotapes, so the doc here decides he’s gonna go into the videotape business like every corner store did before blockbuster, it’s sort of so he had videotapes here. When I started to drive now 8384 8586 When my girlfriend was pregnant, I was 16 years old summer 84 When Purple Rain came out on videotape, he had 98 copies here and if you didn’t rewind the charge a buck, you know so but the really thing you need to know and this is what makes the fountain so special where your nice old hood, we talked about custard pie. We talked about Led Zeppelin. You made some little snide double entendre. That room, had a special saloon door. And above it, it said 18 and over. I think you know what I’m getting there. We’re supposed to a ginger Lynn on Atwater. We’re supposed to her Christie Canyon on this wall. John C. Holmes is back here and you know, Harry rooms is in the corner. So that was the room that is now the film. When when videotapes went out, never go home like it. It looks like that. They turned it into a tanning room. It became a tent. This is an entrepreneurial 1954 Whatever it takes, including fresh egg creams. You’re gonna brag on the almond Smash. Smash, you lost your mind you’re gonna make it smash pie. Yeah, I prefer the FCC which is an effing FCC. Okay, cool. That says federal. I had gene shock on the show last week. I had to get 16 at F side of it. Yeah. It took me less time than I thought because you know what’s beautiful now in the old days, she’d say F and F and I have to go back and listen to all 31 minutes and no no. Transcription now baby. You throw it up the auto every fu it’s like holding coffee on New York and Catcher in the Rye every efuse right there on the wall. You can scrub it you know, GP 66 hour make it go away. But I love drug city and guys like you that may be not from this part of town. Andy that was the case John ruin that was the case. Steve Eliot who’s been my chiropractor my friend for he hears me on the radio bragging about it. And when I said you can go to Costas and that’s usually a good thing for me, right? Everybody loves crabs, or you go to drug city. People are intrigued by this
Rodney Henry 12:07
place. Oh, totally. This place is awesome that you’ve been here before. This is the first time
Nestor Aparicio 12:11
and they sell your pie. Shah
Rodney Henry 12:13

Nestor Aparicio 12:22
You played his pie shop. Okay. All right. Yeah. All right. All right. So
Rodney Henry 12:28
take it easy row.
Nestor Aparicio 12:30
Well, I mean, they got to harp ice cream. They do everything. Uber local, including WNS. Awesome. Yeah, I mean, when George found that I was Dundalk. He’s like we got to do this. And next thing you know, I’m here four times a year and were we shopping the liquor store the whiskey here the tasting room is amazing. It’s amazing. So for your place and this the entrepreneurial thing and you’ve been in that business 100 times you said you downsize give me what’s your life like right now? Because when I think you I think you sling and pie not necessarily being in a rock and roll band and I don’t know where do you consider yourself a pie maker? Or do you consider yourself a musician? What are you?
Rodney Henry 13:06
Um, well, right now pie man all the time. It’s like that’s how I made my bread. Right? I play I still tour but if it wasn’t for pie, I wouldn’t be able to do that stuff. I’m as it’s getting better and better every time but if I have 30 people show up in in friggin
Nestor Aparicio 13:24
you know, Idaho.
Rodney Henry 13:27
If they if I have 30 people show up at Idaho. I’m smiling brother. Because if I would I’d hope and I’m waiting the fog out there when I was I was out there in in February. In a snowstorm I played magic city.
Nestor Aparicio 13:40
Awesome. So you’re still making pies out on the road? Oh, yeah, totally. Man.
Bill Yerman 13:44
I make you take the ingredients with you when you travel I
Rodney Henry 13:46
take I started out with a good amount that usually this case apples maybe two like this trip I took two case apples I had a bunch of all my brown sugar flour. You know
Bill Yerman 13:57
and fat so then you just have to find a kitchen and I rent a house.
Rodney Henry 14:01
I always rent a house every three days. Brilliant house.
Bill Yerman 14:06
So wow man all you care about the oven. I mean, how great it Yeah,
Rodney Henry 14:09
and usually the last couple of plates the last few the last trip every place I stayed and I had also had people that I’ve known for 20 years I’ve been doing this. They still go to their house and do the do it up. You know what I mean? Sometimes it helped me out. It’s totally fine. What kind of music do you play? Like I want to say sort of Honky Tonk hard blues country rock. Stevie Ray Vaughan lost the room.
Nestor Aparicio 14:29
I would say anything that would be in the Willie Nelson family. My stuff is right now, like anything that’s in the Willie Nelson families. I would put rods rods music in that. So he’s a music guy. So we met at an all star game in New York baseball fan but but the Springsteen connection between he and I, which shows you’re going to
Bill Yerman 14:47
going to Philly and then I’m going to use Philly. No, no, they move Washington, DC they move DC. Philly is I think the 15th or 16th and then Baltimore September nine and then D See is the end of September so tell
Nestor Aparicio 15:01
him and our audience and the friends we have here drug city. How effing crazy you are in regard to you and your daughter showing up risk banding. When they played Baltimore I did my show at fate. Lee’s that morning and I walk by and they’re in line at eight o’clock in the morning failings
Bill Yerman 15:22
are my, my daughter
Nestor Aparicio 15:24
crabcake? I’ve been there. It’s like you they got pie in the stage.
Bill Yerman 15:27
My daughter caught the Springsteen bug from me. When she was about eight years old. I took her to Philadelphia, the end sinker whoever Justin bait with Dustin. He was playing Friday night and Bruce’s playing Saturday night and it was a father daughter, blah, blah, blah. We go. She literally falls in love with Bruce. And to this day, she’s now 29 years old. She’s been to over 30 shows, which means I probably been to what one version? I’m in the twos I would think probably seen I’ve had missing persons 1980 That’s tight. And I’ve never missed a tour and I’ve been to many shows on each of the tours. So so my daughter picks up this this habit. And now she literally is in love with him.
Nestor Aparicio 16:08
I said to her, I said she’s in line for the 18th time on the tour in Baltimore. waiting all day to get into the pit to do all this. I said to her, I don’t all that and I know Neil So Neil is what always lead me risk. I mean, I’ve been I’ve carried Bruce’s ass. I’ve had my handle Bruce’s asked a dozen times, I have video of a half dozen of it right? I’ve had my hand on his boot. The whole deal. I’ve asked Bruce to quit. I mean, I’m a proof guy, right? But so I said to her, you’ve done this 18 times with a tour, how about next week when they’re playing in DC or whatever I said, you just go down, we get a beer we hang out, we’re gonna have three o’clock, we’ll put some beer in a Buddha car, we’ll pick some sandwiches up at Dragoo whatever, you will take some crab cakes, whatever. And we’ll just like, listen to Bruce in the car in the parking lot at full volume and have a really good time and walk into the arena and just have fun. Wouldn’t that be nice? And she’s like, I don’t think I could do that. I don’t think so. Literally, she’s I don’t think I can do that.
Bill Yerman 17:02
So I don’t know if you know this, but my daughter is going to have a baby around Thanksgiving. You shouldn’t be camping out. Well, here’s the thing that little baby has now been to three brochures because she was pregnant back prenatal Bruce Exactly. So that’s probably a right I mean, you think how many this kid’s gonna hungry heart, right? This kid is you know, four months in utero. Anyway, so she went to her doctor’s last week and the doctor said, sounds like a punch you you can go to the bruise show. But we’re concerned that you should not stand up in the pit. She’ll be at this point you know six months pregnant and she’s so upset that she can’t be in the pit and sit in the crowd. So upset does this
Nestor Aparicio 17:44
make you a baby tell me this I told her boy growing up
Bill Yerman 17:48
it’s a boy Bruce. Maybe knows when that be great.
Nestor Aparicio 17:53
Well, it’s really good to have you guys say my wife’s last name is Nils right. Absolutely Believe me this year. He has been my legendary friend for many many time many years sponsor continental title all these things. Hot Rod is here. It was very nice of you and Steve you got to get in on this too because John maroon said some stuff almost made me cry about you know working with me and and my my wn S T media kit. I need testimonials. So rods already give me a testimonial saying Help. You saw a lot of pie. So he’s brought me a we call this pineapple upside down pineapple. And Whelan’s 20 Yep, he’s slinging Papa. Yes, he is. Now what’s your favorite pie? Apple pie? Just straight apple. Nothing weird.
Bill Yerman 18:37
What apples?
Rodney Henry 18:38
Granny Smith? Nice every time. It’s like just a little that pie. Also it’s a really great pie that tough. You know, everybody’s everybody’s made a pie. I don’t want to Yeah, I’ve heard every story about
Bill Yerman 18:50
her grandmother’s
Rodney Henry 18:53
telling you in a day I made more than your grandmother. Like I feel for these ladies ladies. Their hands up busted up and they arthritis in their shit. everything’s messed up. I’m getting that now. Are you that guy? My shoulders and hands and stuff. It’s like and I’m playing music too. Sometimes it’d be cramped at one point but it’s like that doesn’t come from me mountain
Bill Yerman 19:14
from what is it that need you have to need the dough well
Rodney Henry 19:16
you don’t really need it but it’s like you’re doing a lot of the same like you really get into should note the same version all that rollin rollin rollin dough out that’s all
Bill Yerman 19:25
Hey, not getting any younger right
Rodney Henry 19:26
now just as long as I’m not bent over a table
Nestor Aparicio 19:31
rocked up. I was supposed to have owl from from Fenwick bakery come over to Constance yesterday. He’s so busy. Speech cake season, right? Yep, peach cake before them. That’s awesome. Right? So it’s my my favorite thing peach cake. Yo and it’s like eggnog. You get it two months. You know what I mean? So I want to ask you this because I would have asked Allah because he’s, you know, old school Baker. I mean, that place has been there a million years. And if you haven’t had peach cake, you haven’t been in that place. I I don’t even I’m not perfect. I don’t know it’s there. But either way, I went and got four peach cakes yesterday took them over cost as output and be there. And the one thing I would say about his peaches and when I bite into that peach cake it’s not it’s clearly not Libby’s out of a candies, real peaches. They’ve been treated. So worked with, they’re ripe beyond like when I gave my piece of it. Yeah, I gave a piece of it yesterday, I cut it and I wound up sending Bob NASCAR home with half of it. And Dennis Colossus recruits before I gave Dennis the piece, I’m like, Look, let me move away because when you bite into it, it’s gonna squirt all over the place. And that’s what with apple pie, and with fruit pies, knowing that right moment of it being where you want to. It’s ripe, right? Because we’ve all had a peach that sucks. Too hard. But on day three, that Peach Pick, you got to find that sweet spot. It’s like a banana like you’ve been with fruit use like i i got a case to apples, you know, it’s like, hey, you know, apples keep better though. Right?
Rodney Henry 21:00
Apples? We mean, a lot of times when you buy an Apple jority biome has been has been keeping them for months. You know what I mean? Right, like granny smith green. So
Nestor Aparicio 21:08
that’s why you get consistency in that product.
Rodney Henry 21:10
We’ve tried to mean it’s like a lot of times you’re getting most of your apples from like, out west and going a certain part time of the year here. Be like springtime. You get really good local apples. But for the most part when we’re buying from our suppliers when we go from our produce guys, they’re coming from Washington.
Bill Yerman 21:27
Can people taste the difference in the different apple pies?
Rodney Henry 21:30
You know what totally, I mean, you can taste a difference because even if it’s all Granny Smith, sometimes some are more have more water on them. And some the ones that don’t have a real tight Yeah, a real and crisp. So tart, man. They’re awesome. You can tell those and that makes a big difference. Because sometimes you can make it apple pie be almost exactly the same way. You may want it more tart. As hard as it can possibly agree. Really? Yeah. Because then you browse sugar to butter. You know, that makes
Nestor Aparicio 21:59
it sweet to start with.
Bill Yerman 22:00
You put cinnamon a little bit. That’s why I’m asking.
Rodney Henry 22:05
The French are tough. There’s this lady where we had her place in Paris and park. She is a from France and she barely spoke a word English. She’s like, I love your apple pie. She says you’re not like all the other Americans dumped cinnamon and everything. She was all pissed. That’s exactly what she said. Cinnamon there and I was like, Well, I’m happy for you. I was also like, please get out of here. But she was like I thought she was gonna go she was getting started going off on me. But she was like, she went off on all marathon America. But she she liked the pies. That’s cool.
Nestor Aparicio 22:37
My wife loves baking and her sister. It’s like their thing every year Christmas. They’ve been going up to give me the name of the mill in Vermont that has the flour.
Rodney Henry 22:48
About Hoskins now it’s a big it’s a
Nestor Aparicio 22:50
big company. I always forget the damn name of it. It’s a gold medal. It’s like that, but it’s not that it’s a Arthur King Arthur. Thank you. It’s the King Arthur bakery. That’s exactly what that’s good. King Arthur bakery. She and her sister get in the car Christmas week. And they do a Saturday afternoon baking class. They did pie a year and a half ago. And she came home with this apple. She learned about crust and she’s like up 1000 Pies my mother baked 1000 buys I thought I knew what I was doing. I’ve watched you know T could through TV and this and that. But when she went there, she came home and found different things about techniques that like not all pies are created equal, right?
Rodney Henry 23:30
No, for sure not thinking about pies is what while people are very very passionate about their pie like to the point of very angry mean,
Nestor Aparicio 23:40
they’re like this French lady. Yeah,
Rodney Henry 23:42
she was cool compared to people that make you something you already know. You can almost this almost is completely true. You can judge what their pies gonna taste like by how their personality is. Hell yeah, dude, with a whack personality that pie is gonna be messed up. And they’re gonna be like, and they’re gonna be so proud of that pie. They’re gonna be they’re gonna go off and they’re like, did you like your pie? Like, oh, you know, it’s pretty good. You know? You didn’t like it.
Bill Yerman 24:11
It’s their baby.
Rodney Henry 24:13
They get psycho man and that’s that’s just one person your one lady will be like, like, like a dog got beat or something like that. Here’s you didn’t because their pies terrible. It’s just the way the pie tastes a week. It didn’t have anything in there. But she was very meat yourself. But she was like so personally upset by the fact that that wasn’t your favorite pie. I’ve had to judge these pie. Baking competitions. Taste at pieces of so
Nestor Aparicio 24:40
people say to me test crab cake to her when you’re going to declare the best one. I’m like, not the best ones you should want to meet. I’ve had a couple of bad ones. You know, I had I told this story a couple weeks ago, but I was on the crabcake tour. Just last summer or maybe the summer before it was last summer. And we were going down to see us sticks are a bandanna at Nissan pavilion that you know, so I decided to get a crab cake in montgomery county. Here’s what I was doing with the County since two years ago. That’s a terrible idea. So I had a chip on a place
Rodney Henry 25:12
the love crab cake sandwich but oh well
Nestor Aparicio 25:15
you love pie so much. So I get a chip on this place and it’s in his market. And it’s way too close to Daniel Snyder’s house, right. So it’s like right down the streets in Potomac, right. So I go in and it’s just really upscale village. It’s very, very touch of a village very, very. So there’s a there’s a it’s like a deli a little bit carry out cold hot food, you know, whatever. And I walk in and it has a big sun. We ship our crab cakes and I’m like, oh, okay, I’ll have to go. And we took them and left them in the bag. Put them in a bag in the backseat. We did what I want your daughter to do. Tailgate we’re gonna get down there. cannabis is legal. You got vodka, get some whiskey, bring some drinks spring spring a slushy but whatever, but sit outside enjoy the out like we do all that so we’re sitting out there having some beers, some music on get the bag it’s get those crabcakes out we get them out. And I looked at it like what the hell is that? What’s what’s in that? Because I’m always examining you know, like, is that you wouldn’t eat celery celery seed is it mustard? What’s the filler? What’s What’s the slurry? What’s going on in peppers if you’re in a Greek place right now, I love that. So people ate it. I looked at it and I took a bite of it. I started chewing and how well we’re consistency and at crunch crunch again at crunch them a tasted celery. Celery and my wisely videotaping me I can’t put this on the internet because this is a fail. Yeah, I’m like I want to figure out what the hell it is.

And they say we have dangerous pie for dessert. That is your pie your thing you’re you’re in more places than to write
Rodney Henry 27:39
like you buy a place like I’d be honest, the John and Mary do a lot of suppliers shipping pies out of the can location. They kill it. We got about eight places. I want to say that Dundalk is probably one of our biggest places where we sling pies at restaurants. My place is straight up bar, dive bar pie shop. And we my place we went to a couple places and not up in town up north of like, you know Hemingway
Nestor Aparicio 28:05
Okay. All right. So do you want people to come down to Hamilton? Have you experienced Oh,
Rodney Henry 28:09
we do. Do you know it’s the baddest ass thing you ever seen? We have killer music. We have music two or three times a week both this really cool stage up back. It’s a really living organism dude, it’s like, only inhabited constantly. It’s constantly evolving. You know, it’s really really cool and, and you really get a vibe of what we’re all about. You know the deal. It’s it’s pie and rock and roll and it’s totally 100% The way it is. Cans kill everyone’s really producing lots of pies out of there, which is killer. My place is like, you come at nighttime, and hang and have some when you play. I’m playing when I play next. That’s the 12th 12th of September at the Metro guy with this guy named Austin Lucas who’s amazing, really great singer, singer songwriter, Honky Tonk. You

Nestor Aparicio 28:58
John Allen on yesterday, we were talking about his five bands and he’s putting Childsplay back together open for kicks, like all this. Musicians forever, forever. As long as you can do it, you’re gonna do it because
Rodney Henry 29:09
he had no choice. You
Bill Yerman 29:10
have a talent that others wish they had. I wish I loved music, but I can’t do anything. To get listen.
Rodney Henry 29:17
It’s a wild thing, man. It’s like being a musician and songwriter. It’s a curse as well. I was gifted, so much fun. Right?
Bill Yerman 29:26
It’s also a couple of hours to start playing when you say
Rodney Henry 29:28
that because you’ve never heard my stuff. Might not be the biggest pie from Hey, come on. Oh my god. The
Nestor Aparicio 29:36
last thing before it gets Steven here and I’ll let you get back to slinging pies. You can Hey, you know you’re a consult you can get all day I want to get right back to sling sports and you know me through sports and you obviously been a listener and that evolved in sports forever. I began this with Maroon and Andy and the other segment. As I hit 25 years I’ve been going through all of these, the stuff that launched the company and what I dream didn’t believe in 98. I take myself back to 98 say, Well, we had the Barney uniforms and maybe one day the Ravens will be considered real NFL team at that point, right. The Orioles are coming off a championship and there’s Davey Johnson and the owners a jerk, and he’s about to really screw things up royally. And we didn’t. Maybe we knew that intellectually, intellectually, but we didn’t believe it. Right now. We have a different belief system here in regard to both of these team, but it took a whole generation. Unfortunately, it took me 1717 years since the Orioles threw me out, they won one playoff series. It’s vindicated me, you know, hard balls, one, two playoff games since I wrote a book 10 years ago, right. So Well, I would say this has been a dark, sort of in the plague, and the city and pretty gray, and just all of it and 100 losses and 100 losses and 100 losses. And a football team. That’s mainly no offense to anybody with a purple on been disappointed. I mean, it’s it’s been disappointing in the end, right? Right now, that right here right now, because of the baseball team, it’s an August 4, and they’re in first place in the Yankees. It’s almost like dogs and cats. But there is a feeling about sports that only sports can do. I mean, really, we’ve had plagues, we’ve had riots, we’ve had racial problems. We’ve had a president that’s a criminal and should have been under a jail want. We’ve had all of these things happen. But all of a sudden baseball every night, the hope of football kids going back to school employments up inflation’s up, interest rate, all that. But like in our town, there’s something about the Orioles playing, you know what time they play tonight, you know who they’re playing Metro. And like all of that you might be going to a game or thinking about a game or whatever. That’s where we grew up. Right. And that was gone. And I’ve never been more vindicated or validated for doing free to birds than saying, This is what it was supposed to be like, the whole time. I’m sure you feel that your pie shop. I know. You mean, you gather doesn’t do to the watching Oriole game on a Sunday night he cost this and then all of your guys were like this didn’t happen in 50 years, you know. So we’re all coming together as a community in a different way. And sports is doing that. Yep. I
Bill Yerman 31:59
agree. It’s a wonderful point. My wife is just amazed at how into this team I am and the challenges I’ve shut down baseball for 10 years. I missed it. So when we get like Jack Flaherty, I gotta go look him up and see I don’t know offhand about him and by now, California, exactly. The whole story. Exactly. So so my period was a soap opera. It changes you know how we when we’re having dinner like all the things in your life what’s your what’s your daughter having a baby? Thanksgiving?
Nestor Aparicio 32:27
Well, right after the parade,
Bill Yerman 32:31
sometime sometime in that like I do that right? Exactly.
Nestor Aparicio 32:35
You’re not like a P one sports guy, but like you feel it right.
Rodney Henry 32:39
Oh, tip me. I love football, man. I love football of baseball. I’m gonna play tennis. That’s my that’s my sport. Coach. He tends to really Yeah, I’d love to hear with my coach last year in high school coach Caviezel high school last year has I would not have thought that I went from they went from one one wins seven loss to we were four four fantast had three people in the three three students went to this unit again this year. No, I wasn’t done the kids. I mean, there’s two kids are my best kids. They were the worst they’re hardcore kids to deal with. So I was sad when they graduate me Bill come back. But yeah, it was your kids are tough, man. It’s not like when we
Bill Yerman 33:17
were kids even harder now. It totally is because they don’t want the information. They had their stuff
Rodney Henry 33:21
with them. Right? You can’t even fight it, you know, but I have I enjoyed it. I really have a lot of respect for coaches. Because that’s a hard gig for a little bit of compensation
Bill Yerman 33:31
right? It’s not for the money I mean, you’re doing it they love it love it.
Rodney Henry 33:34
It’s cool and it’s good hey coach when you’re hanging out in the lounge with the coaches with at the director’s office is pretty cool. You know
Nestor Aparicio 33:41
this is why I do this because I you know and moving to Baltimore positive part of my brain you you’ve been a part of this strategy of everything I’ve done the last couple years you know having these athletes who didn’t want to come on the show and teams that didn’t want me around drugs city wants me you want me to talk about pie we’re friends we love talking about things and the centerpiece of all of it all along the reason I love the teams is because I love Baltimore. Yeah, so I mean literally I mean the Ravens didn’t even exist you know like I love them because it said Baltimore it meant something to me and that’s why we all love it and I think the Orioles are trying to in their own way you know why they didn’t get Dylan cease because it rhymes and lease you
Bill Yerman 34:15
