for David Ortiz I love our big puffy and Red Sox are still up -- nothing is atop the second inning at Fenway and the royals are in town so should be. Many megs here Chris buyer here producer for the Farrelly Brothers and the producer of the great documentary lost some of event which is showing.

And.

And I know smart money July 10. Showcase -- showcase western north and -- it was a war it is 01 -- timers -- two just go to your local listings in China plays like other movie would check your local -- list any ethnic Chris I think July 10 he used a man and get it just dramatically. Wife's birthday tomorrow while and I equitable as I have him I'm going. -- Now at some points out.

We're going to the premiere over and Somerville Davis -- it. Is seen -- you know and and Maria and and the boys and -- again it's been used his daughter it was of the whole family up there on stage. I gotta tell you that you know. I thought I knew everything about Louie -- because I've really followed his career he came up is basically -- utilization -- when I hit my peak of baseball love. You know when -- ten. It's like I knew everything about all the guys team Sonny Siebert every team -- just a huge baseball nut. But when Tito became a Red Sox player. I just -- you know he wanted to in the ERA courtroom you know she's fifteen and six I believe was seventy waters of Egypt. And I should this guy's unbelievable. And from then on. You know that was it and I studied paid attention I mean I know his career stats and all that stuff and it's it. Even if I'd ever met Evan didn't get to know as a friend and as somebody who I've actually met and I still would've felt that way about him as the legend that he was. But. Like Demi Moore asked him -- one when I saw the documentary. I was like wow I didn't know that you know this I don't know that he he really kind of because you jump into his life with cameras rolling. You really get to know him a lot better than you can't even even when you see him on social.

Yeah I use it. It's an amazing thing he's you know in the documentaries no longer the -- each year at the baseball player there's Louis terribly human -- right and you use it transcends baseball on the stories about. You know love lost and family reunion and hugely yeah.

A real vote but not a contrived. You don't novel or anything this is sort actual story that actually happen enough. I cannot it was amazing I the the amount of work that you guys put it to them and how beautifully came around and you really is are these the the icing on the cake is Chris Cooper narrated for us yeah you can -- what were you there are two and a premier. I was at it was a great night and I was just blown away by -- we all four and I'm sure -- to do is have you talked to Louis about a mean -- as it does he. Tell you how makes him feel.

Yeah and he each if you think you get a little bit desensitize missing in every time he's he's seeded number times down. But every you know even I get choked up it's certain moments in the poignant moments of the movie you know. -- itself not to Armenia you have to be quite chilly. Before you yeah yeah before you premiere and it was in some real well with its oral and a print area had he seen the full time of it. Yeah he had that liberal we have world premiere in TriBeCa TriBeCa film festival audiences big honored to have a night or two before Wikipedia that -- and really -- him when he saar for the first time when you seek you know. When the when you see the film with a you know 400 people 500 people just electric if you just mean all those in. You know those emotions bubble up in just you know it's tough not to boil over what's around it Chris it's -- 140. Minutes on. Me to. Report that augment one's forcing the two point 20 well I've. Way up on the numbers have thirty seconds -- that I don't know our forte goes last week --

Again it goes by pretty pretty quickly though and you know because I'm a guy who you know judges movies by how many cigarettes Greg what happens -- that -- that we first sector wouldn't have -- And the promises -- resigned to get some calls. I don't know these of these for Chris that well our Greg rock and who got -- you because lookin' for his being key Craig there -- We have Craig.

What that what we ought okay so far you -- on target. Documentary the spotlight where it -- clear about -- I would be -- if you believe like BO walker.

I don't remember him mentioning that an -- nobody -- he did enjoys time with the Yankees in order. You know easy you know that -- Red Sox. Player through and through but he did his -- he was played a year there.

Yeah would have ended the and the Red Sox were not giving due respect to other stars from Reno -- left the -- Rick Burleson and who we don't these guys dead -- they traded believers to impact. So there were a lot of guys that left you know of the Red Sox at that time under that particular ownership and management saying I'm gonna go somewhere else. He also ended with -- of Pittsburgh. And the angels and you know so he had the end there like a lot of players -- when they get to be older stuff. They they try to hang on as best they can but you know look at look at his numbers in the seventies -- I know you probably weren't born then.

But I equivalent period Brit -- are overwhelmed like. If I were born met but what we created perfect in the old films but. You're. Sort of thing where --

you know what they what they can call right back. -- we don't like Craig comes on the nationals regular column is that we -- crate from Rockland -- if you buy it for about it. -- that's the longest like every game noted Georgia Cambridge right --

But actually show an -- like group rights point of the cellphone users and and they've been released by craters you know going down the street is assisted munitions and.

Hold on to thirteen and question a man.

Well this well on that are on the team that question I am what they went and in I've noticed that calls. Including the comments about yet -- like the fans to start doing a little more. Thought and research. About what's really going on at least players before they call it unless they're -- is using. You're timing your show. Celebrate. They're ignorant or whatever.

In Louisville Louisiana media's decency to I don't think it's kinda like give you don't know by now you know so you think it's gonna be up a term paper project for. --

Well you. Going and he. Approaching sixty. Note note yeah. Well -- you know. And a lot of parties actually and added you know obviously it was counter. It really appreciate the this guilt of these guys got. -- place in baseball myself so he's he's got a counter. And note that kind of an. Rear its subsequent. You know I played third base and I played -- he. Our. Your power hitting third base outfield. -- I played third base and out. But not.

The catwalk the -- okay.

Not to be reverend but I'm not quite sure I you know -- always -- Winthrop. -- Well I just again you know -- well played -- vote share but you know in India and innocent questions. And they're yankees. Jorge Campillo responsible sometimes our -- people are smoking crack -- do mask we don't. Right now so we don't have any idea what they're doing okay well. But. Beta like Harrison and response that can actually going to.

Okay. All right yeah pocket yeah. -- And Louis was there's of the final day of the kids to camp the players campers that normal human beings that fat lard asses out there you know arrest of a human -- Have to face the major leaguers. So. I'm up against -- nervous because even though he's what was he in 8747. Years old. And has played for awhile you know he's still major leaguer and I am just intimidated. So and -- either really that well I was decorative hitters baseball player but I play baseball it was a third baseman power at the so. He throws it is big sweeping curveball and I miss it by about two feet.

Same pitch of course it was so awful on the -- to throw it saying it curve ball. I missed it by it maybe a foot this time I'm getting better becomes the third set point oh is gonna throw the -- So he does he throws the curb on kind of waited -- it tragic you know just -- I hit it off the fists. The pop up any Doyle played second base had a running in behind the pitcher's mound to catch it was the weakest. Really allowed to buy up all of you members see you crossed -- that's walking up above and on the last WTO market -- ago. Louis from the same pitch three pitches in a row and I popped to second base -- You're talking you hit it deeper involvement. And your statement. The best that I debate to act the way I looked up there he so competitive -- but you know stumbling. He's right. I am lucky I hit the ball at all and but that's occurred at the -- a quality. Is -- if somebody the guys who was hit. -- the irony was a Tripoli catcher for the Rochester orioles' farm at one point he doubled Optiem drove in Iran and test. Because here's -- hit them. It was like the next lady like expect there was -- woman she's like forty sixers only throw water 02 looks it looks opened its. He's that competitive dude let's go to David netcam hello Dave.

I don't guys have. I play golf a couple of times we -- one. It's. EE strolled out on the third call one time we -- accommodate all the mile. We only had a threesome and well he was a pleasure the way where it. And the best thing was the second time he went with them. You know it'll. It was about a month later and stuff and we Atlantic mentally just have a beer or -- guy's gonna go. Came back into the club folks. With signed autograph pictures and audio suspect in the trunk but just nice enough. You know best wishes days you know and stuff like that -- years she's just. He's he's -- super guy probably wasn't a little ball hockey in the woods with rival on the edge of the -- with applicable called -- I think and I -- as -- the other clowns upon their blogs of my filters them construct. -- EU EU as a lot of great stories about very apple on Italy and stop. Not big stories that you know reveal anything just you know -- talking. In all of those years very very enjoyable Eric.

Yeah he's the best days -- I think he's one of the true baseball treasures in this town it's a baseball crazy Dave you know. You can't if you watched him pitch -- last seven lays out what oh. Yeah I've gotten out. I played them last summer and in internment for the Jimmy Fund. And they gave the gift that bottle thrown. A big bottle of the throne as a gift for coveted tournament he drank half -- the eighteen hole golf tournament -- get all day. One over he was one over after eighteen holes where they were borrowed clubs and wear sandals no golf shoes. Out of his mind Dave thanks the call big Allison bill record accurate next on the planet Mikey show well -- you.

Michael all its doors are a lot of the talks and I Chris -- Lenny megs two while you read are alerted Chris yeah. I just what it's -- a lot of thought but I -- appreciated Louis. And anybody who doesn't all the way to a week of debt mounted gave that twirl a bit like a ballerina. Doesn't know much about baseball.

You know he had ever forget if you sorry I wouldn't say they don't know much about baseball would never had -- the pleasure of seeing him because if you ever saw him he was like no other pitcher on the -- I'm we have guys you know aside Imus and all that stuff and hesitation pitch -- Michael by the Japanese pitchers. But those on like -- he turned his back to the pitcher and then that maybe even having to pick up the ball -- the delivered expected hitter getting -- because he was it.

Yeah that's really been great that it didn't think -- eating up second base with respect to India a couple it was like a human. Which called world away that's -- it would.

Top it was a whirling dervish. Big out thank you for the call from big from big bill Erica big gal you know Chris one of the stories to in the movie that people weren't aware of we are you aware that his mom and dad came -- were allowed to come back to this country for the World Series and Fidel Castro was a baseball players -- huge -- Let the -- mother and father mr. -- Louis senior. Travel here. And Louise -- dad was a legendary. Left hander in Cuba. Got to see is some for the first time I guess at that time would have been 1516 years -- seen him fourteen years fourteen. And he comes the World Series and we all remember you know they showed him sitting there you know and watch in the game and -- course pits them masterpiece against the reds with his dad watching. But what a lot of people didn't realize was that the ways that Louise T -- parents passed away and that was really yeah -- very riveting it's sad and poignant part of that documentary.

There's just just. You know you Louis west over the as folks head you know. Just wanted to see him pitch one game -- states and they got to do that in eighteen months later his -- cancer. And death struggle with that to the bitter end and isn't it. You know incredible story or is his it is mom asked you would like to go with you. She -- who's dying -- it was views on his you know loss last day. He's an elected come with me in I. Total to -- approximately twelve hours later from his mom and Arctic while they he'd be there -- both on the same day.

Of a broken heart died of broken literally that he -- them the same day well can you believe that. Now that's an unbelievable story and after all that time away you know he did thankfully -- that that al-Qaeda with them but you know -- his dad got sick and you know he's been through -- lot of stuff in his life but this this. Film the lost some of Havana. It -- gets our covers everything yeah and in such a way that it's just I think it's remarkably yeah. It's a it's a real close up. Of as you said -- the Louis -- the human being we all know number 23 did amount. And that's really a a nice part of the story because it's that's why all this took place but. You know having to leave your homeland not be -- go back for 46 years and have all those things happen in between it's just remarkable story. And you can see this movie. This coming weekend in in Worcester -- opens Friday night Revere Revere. Shook his work around -- lost sort of event just get there if you can't it's really really worthwhile endeavor it crested. Castro must have been a fan ET I don't.

Absolutely when I don't wanna give too much away but. The reason -- was -- well his folks were released is there's you know brief are in the US Cuba relations yeah in 75 -- from within this might be good to have you all gonna try to campaign for you folks have to come for day and and through senator Brooke. He Hitler -- Written letter. In game it's senator journal of violent and Goodwill toward. To order a number of things about that and you have McGovern in the film talk -- pretty incredibly that's incredible part of the story and he eventually yes. -- of if if if you he has fidelity you know the unions and in fear they'll ask the father of the son. And nice -- that they'll be down. So he did have a Needham did they ever meet face to face slowly and that Castro -- in -- it. With their resentment and his lap because of the regime. I'm always spot where because Hu's Communist country get out of -- along you know it's practically feel it's time for change but a long time. Yeah and Louise you know political guy in -- that is is it is stated quite a political throwers like glasses always half full little yeah right that's how it goes through life it's it's not a you know it's it's -- called the did the daily struggle yes.
