Carrington HarrisonHOST
This is where I would like to begin for this game.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
I spent a lot of time talking to Denny Matthews over the course of the last 10 years or so.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
He has always been great to me and great to this show, and he has taught me a lot of very important things about life and about sports in our conversations.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
One thing that Denny Matthews has taught me is sometimes it's not who you play, but it's when you play them.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
I cannot think of a better time to play the Los Angeles Chargers than right now.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
Listen to their head coach and how defeated their head coach sounds.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
The Chargers have been in all of these games so far this season.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
Denny Matthews has taught me two great things about sports over the course of him coming on the show.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
One of the things he taught me is the greats do a fantastic job at adjusting to the adjusting, that everybody is studying you, trying to figure out your moves, and trying to figure out how to get the best of you, and you have the ability to always stay ahead of the curve.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
The second thing he's also told me is you gotta keep bad teams bad, and losing teams losing.
Ryan LefebvreGUEST
And that, that meant, that meant the world to me.
Ryan LefebvreGUEST
And, um, so, you know, the, the question was asked, you know, "Can you sum up what Denny Matthews means to you in one word?" And I say everything.
Ryan LefebvreGUEST
Everything.
Ryan LefebvreGUEST
I mean, so many good things have happened to me since I've come to Kansas City, but if I don't have Denny Matthews' support, I don't know if I make it through, you know, those first two years and, uh, get in my car on my own and drive up I-35 and, and go back to Minnesota.
Ryan LefebvreGUEST
So everything that I have today, um, is rooted in my relationship with Denny Matthews.
Joel PenfieldHOST
You talked about it a little bit when you talked about the way Denny calls the game and, and letting the moment breathe, and kind of air- letting the, the at- the ambiance of the stadium tell some of the story.
Joel PenfieldHOST
And I think that is the, always the mark of a good broadcast, TV or radio, in my opinion, just letting the, letting the moment have...
Curtis SeaboltHOST
But first, de la feta delicatessen end of the hour answer.
Curtis SeaboltHOST
What play-by-play man was on the national radio call the last time the Brewers won the pennant? How about Denny Matthews-
Jack JohnsonHOST
Ooh
Curtis SeaboltHOST
... along with Ernie Harwell for CBS Radio in 1982.
Jack JohnsonHOST
he would've been the hometown.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Jack JohnsonHOST
So cool to hear, though, uh, about Denny Matthews.
Curtis SeaboltHOST
It's a video on YouTube.
Shane DennisHOST
Now, at this stage of the LCSs, whether it's the American League or the National League, those bullpens are gonna be hard to score against.
Shane DennisHOST
But you keep running 'em out there in the third and fourth innings, as Jamie Bluma has alluded to, as Denny Matthews, legendary voice of the Royals, so often says.
Shane DennisHOST
And he said this for a long time before there was even s- uh, real specialist and bullpen games and all that.
Shane DennisHOST
The more times you point down to the bullpen, if you're the manager, the better chance that the guy that comes out next doesn't have it.
Jason AndersonHOST
Do that a couple three times.
Jason AndersonHOST
You know, Denny Matthews, the way that he always and I'll never forget this.
Jason AndersonHOST
I'll always use it is they're the only true off day.
Jason AndersonHOST
is when you go to sleep, is when you wake up in your bed and go to sleep in your bed and you didn't have a game that day.

Is, do you think that's how they do this?
