But all in all, it's fun and I enjoy it. Yeah. And that's it. I guess you could call it a hobby. I mean, it feels like a lifestyle at this point. I don't collect stamps. I don't collect coins. I don't go fishing, hunting.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
That's the thing I don't like about this game is the announcers are too repetitive. It's the same thing. So I put it on the lowest volume I could think of without totally shutting it off.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
And that's the problem with the show. It's repetitive.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Okay, but he had a tendency to say the same thing over and over every single day. That's just the— Yeah, and I don't want to hear the stories anymore.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I never played on a screen this big.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
So now this should work if I try to hit it, right?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
See, right now he's hurt and I won't play him. I didn't even see that one coming. I was talking to you.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I don't play him either. He's out.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I'll tell you, you're pretty good at this. Thank you.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
That's pretty good. It is pretty good. Now, what happens here now?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Yeah, why not? Okay, all right. Okay. I'll be the Cubs still.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
So I should be able to hit now, right?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
See, what I like about this game, the stadiums are realistic.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Wait a minute. I got a question. How was that done? They mentioned your name and the blue sweater. Who was broadcasting the game? That's...
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
This is totally different. Totally different.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
You see, that's the same guy that announces it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Yeah. But they never mention that the other guy is on assignment because that other guy, Chris Singleton, is always there. And he's the one that comes up with the story, the repetitive. Ah.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
The other night, the color guy?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
The same stuff over and over.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Nice meeting you. It's a pleasure.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
It's the competitiveness that drives you crazy.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
We got to get Boog to sit down with us. Yeah, this is yesterday's guest.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Yeah, yeah. I would like to see them. Absolutely.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
When you walked in and you said, John, I like my blinds.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Yes. I looked, I said, to myself, like everything went blank.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I said to myself, wait, we just mentioned Pablo Davis, the guy in the blue sweater. I said, I never heard this.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
But he does a great job of announcing.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Yes. I was just going to say that. By far. By far.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
And I use the same single way. You did a double single. Same as I do it. Yep. Except if the ground ball is short, I'll put G, S. Okay. And then a dollar sign through it. Ah. Well, because we're grounded at second, it's S. Right.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Is this the normal way what broadcasters do?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I'll tell you, that's detailed.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Jeez, maybe I should get something like that.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
But when you showed up, I went totally, my...
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Well, that's okay. That's my opinion.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Okay. But this game, this game, like I said, San Pablo, it's realistic. It doesn't look like a video game. It doesn't look like a Pac-Man, you know, where they run like crazy. It's actual.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
It's amazing the way it's done, because every game you broadcast, it's different.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
You know... And when I say the repetitive, it's more, it's more. No, actually, if I, and I know I put on a lot of YouTube shows and people who review, they say the same thing. They say what they do is they turn the commentator all the way down.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
You know, and the thing is, again, like I've been playing this since the inception of, since 2006, okay, since the 20th year. I have never been bored.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Oh, I never figured that. I was going to play for 20 years. But I used to imagine games. In fact, I used to go to my grandmother's house, and in the backyard, they had gray steps, and I used to throw the ball against the steps to make believe I'm pitching and hitting. Okay? And then, as the years go on,
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I don't know if you remember, you probably do, when we didn't have the internet, it was a dial-up.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
It was New Jersey Bell. And then I developed this. That's it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Immediately. And then I get very disappointed at the end of the season.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Well, I end the season basically around the same time.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
You're saying the season's over. Season's over.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
until I go to the great beyond. No, I just want the game to continue because I enjoy playing it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
You've done a great job, really.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
But I'm really happy to be here.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Well, there was a joke about Pete and Mike, who are the best of friends. They love baseball. They did everything together. They played every single game. Well, one day Pete dies, goes to heaven. Two days later, he comes down and says, Mike, I got good news and bad news. The good news is baseball in heaven. Bad news, you're pitching tomorrow.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
My real name is Joey Kim, my legal name. But my mother had a sense of humor, she cut it off and made Kim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it, so. But my last name is Soriano.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Same name, not the same money. That's the difference.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Well, I just put this on, okay? Because that's what I play, the show, okay? Now, what I do is I play every single Yankee.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Of the lineup. And I keep score. And this right here is the blank page. And what I do is I go to a copy company.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
And I get 182 copies. 182 copies. And that's it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Yeah, let's say the season opened this year, I think March 27th or something like that. I usually go beginning of March.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I guess you can call it that, yeah. Yeah.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I make it like tennis thumbs.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
And I'll tell you this. In all the years, I have never been bored playing this game. And in fact, I look forward to the next day. And that's it. It takes me about an hour and 15 minutes, an hour and 20 minutes to play the game.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Sometimes it scares me because I'll play a game And they may come close to the game that I'm actually playing.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
The only thing I do when I play the game, I hit only. I don't pitch. I set everything up automatic.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Automate pitching, automate base running, throwing. All I do is hit.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Because I was never too good at the other.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I've tried pitching and tried hitting and throwing, base running. I'm not good at that.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
If Garrett calls out, I'll injure him.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
There's an app on here, okay, that you can manually injure a player.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Well, I got the, how you do it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Go to gameplay, general, set to manual. Set to manual. Yeah, you set injuries to manual so you can control it.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
I have never gone to the World Series except for last year.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Show, the Voice and Grandpa: A PTFO Surprise
Well, sometimes my wife says, well, what are you crazy? Because like I'll strike out and I'll go.
