Transcript
00:00you want a jerry jones type of owner you don't have to go to that extreme but sure robert robert
00:05craft talks multiple times a year when was the last time you heard robert craft talk
00:10he was at the uh thanksgiving thing when uh they were giving out turkeys and everything and he
00:15talked during that he talks all the time wiggy he'll talk at the owners meetings in spring in
00:20april or may or whatever they do that he talks constantly giving out turkeys in roxbury and
00:26saying hey that's a lot more than john henry does i give you that john henry stood in front of
00:32the
00:32media and said this is on me when he lit up his cigar no no when was the last time
00:36he stood in
00:36front of the media and said this is on me curtis is right robert craft uh spent a lot of
00:40time talking
00:41during the gerard mayo kerfuffle uh and and yeah well he talked about that he right how he made
00:47the mistakes right after he he had a press conference for that yes talks about it yeah
00:52what was the last time john henry did anything um let me say what was the last time john henry
00:56talked
00:56wasn't the last year sometime no no he's around he doesn't talk he sends an email to a reporter
01:05once in a while i thought we heard him talking just last year at uh out spring training no i
01:11can share
01:11i can share with you the last time that john henry was talked to which was during the winter classic
01:17john hey raffi hey anybody
01:22no he doesn't he doesn't talk and it is an issue now
01:26wiggy are you being serious when you say you don't want to hear anything at all from any of
01:30your owners yeah i don't really i don't need to hear from my owners i as long as i'm hearing
01:34from
01:36you know my front office people that's fine with me does anybody believe that breslow and john henry
01:42are on a whatsapp chat every day well yeah because one of them's probably out of the country and by
01:46one of them i mean john henry probably over in england didn't they communicate via whatsapp to
01:52uh avoid extra text charges i hope sam kennedy makes a boatload of money i do too oh he probably
01:58does because it would not be worth it if it if he didn't because he has to he talks he
02:01goes on this
02:02show he talks all the time and he steps in it and then he has to be accountable for it
02:08because john
02:08henry never talks to any media anymore well that's sam's job yeah that's part of his job
02:16that's his job his job is to be the voice piece of the the ownership group again i'm coming at

08:55oh i feel like jerry seinfeld i'm getting the laughs chime i'm good
09:05this is a wild one because that's what it is it's frustrating
09:10because he says oh i don't complain about john henry but the first thing he did was complain
09:15about john henry but then when i try to explain it to him he's like i never said that you
09:22you literally
09:22will never explain anything to me because you don't believe me i get it you're not on some higher
09:30curtis the first i'm all set wigs the first thing you said the first thing you did was complained about

09:42when did i complain about john henry today what did i say the first thing am i am i the
09:47am i
09:48wigs you accused me of something greg asked the question he said what do you think of this season
09:54you go it's gonna be a long season and then he said why that's because john henry and
10:07that's exactly what you said he sounds like that well i'm i'm ad-libbing a little bit oh ad-libbing
10:13wow what a skill i'm a little shine play it back that's the first ever thing he said yeah was
10:19a long
10:20season he's worried about a potential work stoppage right i love the game of baseball why is there going
10:25to be a work stoppage well it's next season but it's you know probably probably you asked about this
10:29you didn't ask about a work stoppage i understand wiggy we did an entire segment going over the
10:34roster i didn't bring up a lockout in that second one thing you said why are you so angry it's
10:40not
10:41angry it's called passion there's a difference oh i don't get it are you gonna define passion for
10:45he loves the socks guy loves the socks i don't get angry he can't wait you don't get angry no
10:50i don't
10:50get angry angry is i mean i've never you know the last time i got angry it's probably been a
10:55long time
10:55i don't get angry i get passion that's what that's what it is you know when i'm angry
10:59a threat no no i'm just saying you would know because i would probably be dropping f-bombs i'm
11:05not going to threaten you think i'm really going to threaten you curtis why would i do that wiggy
11:09cannot wait to be there for for the home opener i'm gonna have a sign say john henry sign somebody
11:16are you how do you feel um how do you feel about the lobster poutine that they are serving at
11:22fenway park this season you know i don't eat seafood but i did see it how expensive is it
11:26that's the biggest question i'm concerned i'm so concerned that doesn't sound good to me at all
11:31why do you put gravy on lobster ever because poutine is fries with gravy on it yeah it just
11:38doesn't look good to me like i saw it yesterday it doesn't i'm willing to try it i don't trust
11:44it
11:45is it brown gravy that's what i'm asking i think it's got to be like some kind of a seafood
11:49like a
11:50like a newberg sauce or something i would assume i mean i'm i'm gonna make lobster and fries don't
11:57go together do they well you got to put some old bay on it like it's crabs yeah like when
12:03you eat
12:03crabs the old bay seasoning yeah then it all kind of starts to get cohesive yeah no i don't i
12:09mean
12:09they work i wouldn't put i mean i don't really know why people put why would you put brown gravy
12:13on
12:13french fries well they're saying that a lobster roll is going to cost fifty dollars minimum this summer
12:18what there's yeah there's a lot in maine everywhere there's a shortage yeah there's a
12:22that's not okay the water's too cold or something i can't imagine what it's going to cost if you're
12:28going to get the the lobster french fry poutine thing at fenway it's got to be 40 50 bucks probably
12:35more than that a lot i mean who do you blame for that oh there's only one person who is
12:39that who is
