9-8-22 After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 1

Through barely made it to sleep fairly late tonight night. What come back from vacation and even traffic eased or maybe I'm just not nearly as uptight about it now is not the case. During the pandemic. When I didn't drive on the highway for three months. Okay it wasn't quite the longest two months but I didn't drive the pit on the highway for two months and I swore what I got back out on the highway that I was so happy to be driving again to have someplace to go but I would never get road rage as long as I lived. I mean, it may be lasted for like 10 days and then I was back to road ranging however that's not what happened tonight when I barely survived the track into our building. It was a close encounter with a rat and I hope it when I see them and their staining between me and the door to the building involuntarily go. So I think that scared him actually did scare him or her. Can you tell the difference a rat I can't because I'm not getting that close, but that the rat freaked out because I freaked out.

We both freaked out and the skin.

Next I will try that. Actually those things freak me out. I understand that there are very intelligent animals or so people say and they are test subjects for many experiments, and other types of science and ends our research but just grow with.

I can't I can't I can't see one without going and like I said it's a pretty much cleared the path so that I could scurry like a rat quite like that's not not quite like that next time you are trying to sleep. Sorry, it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio you will never hear me say that sleep is overrated or that I can sleep when I'm dead because after doing graveyard shift overnight work for. Oh my gosh the last 10 years.

But even before I joined CBS sports radio but dedicated late nights and overnights the last eight years here in after hours right. I will never be so cliché or so dismissive as to indicate that sleep is for the weak or that sleep is not necessary or that I can sleep when I'm dead because if I don't sleep I will die early that that's what I've come to understand about this shift is that sleep is more valuable than ever, especially on those days you don't have it, which happen to be Wednesday so I cannot be held responsible for anything ridiculous. I say, or words that I make up I'm to blame. Producer J because I had to blame someone. I'm just kidding.

I'm totally fine it's my fault. It just happens when I'm tired, but my friends tell me that I'm funnier on the radio and I'm tired. What's funny all the time on which talk about. We are live from the rocket mortgage studios do need to know what it takes for a whole bear I get derailed much more easily when I'm tired, so while we start that again. Also I I dropped as a drop of something in my noses. This was a liquid and it's like making me sneeze and making meaning out of anybody else out there uses essential oils. But there's is one called debris and it's great. It opens up your nasal passages and it helps you to breathe deeply and so IE I went to the mallet to make sure was the because it was dark in my room and so I went to smell it to make sure it was the right essential oil that I wasn't putting something else under my nose and somehow drop drop into my nose and almost died almost died a close encounter with a rat or he almost died and I may not have no problems putting a rat like I get it. Pete and people love animals but if the Raven comes to me versus the rat like the rats is going to have to get pointed anyway. Now I have for those really awful thoughts for which I should apologize. I now have a drop of something in my nose like a kid stop sneezing and and I feel like it's making me cough to so I'm essentially a big hot mess that we had dropped the hot I'm just a mess. There's something hot about this latest I am so let me try that again no Mike Tomlin interruptions. We are live from the rocket mortgage studios do need to know what it takes for a home to fit your budget and your family.

Rockets can also. I've worn producer J if you look beyond even one time in my general direction, a young man named Jack did that once.

It never worked on the show again so I would advise against yawning in my general direction I rendered telling you that story J and you got really mad at the fact that he joined me while we were on the air, so it if that is the case, let's not be hypocritical and not right now. You're not how long ago did you we are in conversation about the show in the speed of maybe 90 seconds J stifled 70 all and how it worked out a lot of the words you're looking a little bit like a hot mess in there do so anyway.

But maybe together make up one brain or one person but here's the thing in the thing you are actually going to be the driving force behind the show because it's time to get serious about the 2022 NFL season. I feel like we can all agree on that. So as you join us here in after hours on CBS sports radio.

We need you to be serious with us as serious as I ever get when do I get serious gagging theories about some things.

I get serious when it comes to alleged crimes when it comes to discrimination and prejudice and mental health. I get serious about those things.

Get yours but accidents and injuries. Certainly, there are times to be serious, but we generally don't spend much time on the serious here during the show when we have to we have to be journalists. Yes, but a lot of times my approach to sports and sports radio is relatively irreverent ends. So when I tell you it's time to get serious about the 2022 at a policies and you should of course take that word with a grain of salt, but we have what we think is a fine wide open.

Fill in the blank to carry us through the next four hours and here's the deal. We want to hear from every single fan base so your tweet or Facebook post is the first to come in from a particular fan base, it will guarantee either it's red on the air or its retweeted one of the other just create more work for Jay so if he doesn't yawn.

He's going to roll his eyes, we he already knows the fill in the blank and the freezing everything so it should be up soon on our show twitter on her Facebook page.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio. Our phone number 85521242278552124 CBS. By the way, we need a guinea pig not a rat. Please, although I you want to be a lab rat.

You certainly can. In this particular scenario yellow so if you would like to help us. We are in need of some assistance. We need a lab rats to try to join survivor island and let us know what happens when you do okay Sogeti job on my care. So we've gone through multiple iterations of survivor island links and locales. We got multiple islands we got multiple links on Facebook and Twitter and were hearing from some of you there are still kinks. So what's the latest we know people love logins can get it if you have a previous login. All you have to do is go use the link on Twitter again a lot radio or our show twitter it's been to the top of our show twitter after hours. CBS or its pain to the top of our Facebook page is super easy to find people are still complaining so all you to do is go to your site if you have a login.

Use the link login boom I already did that. I know it works.

The issue is if you're joining us in your brand-new and you haven't done it before.

So then what happens today right got if you have enjoyed before the new link that I put up I did open a second you lose called some of the bonus so that email apparently was full. Our last dose of our drawings are open to new island. I thought I just know I am to them on the site now trying to wait. It's we the third island of the second island. Second, I would open for both returnees and newbies should be open everybody as I am actually made Mike.

I don't think I'm I tried logging in just to be sure worked, but I did make my pink yet or anything so I need some space on said island as well to rename them going in after Jurassic Park and drastic world he saw a new way was that each lot in my get it wrong is like new blowhole in nova was the coaster record that were talking island. There's only one island was to address report to each lot new blog easel and nubile are of course okay so each lot new blog to islands of all volcanic island located 120 miles west of coaster Rica and 87 miles east of the lasting go where today's archipelago the island was the site of both the original Jurassic Park and the second incarnation drastic world for the door.

Second drastic part of the whole idea was that of 1/3 one, which will want to hear something though they totally like just messed with us because people want to know if this is what happens when you go on Google you find out what questions other people are asking about the particular subject matter, so people are asking is the drastic world I live in the real, so real.

I discovered by I will now will be dinosaur bones easel and nubile are the setting for much of the Jurassic Park series is unfortunately not a real coaster Rica and I cook but wait there's more cocoa silent though is very much real, located some 350 miles from Costa Rica's mainland. It's widely believed to be the inspiration for a sliding bar. So we had each lot new bar and cocoa silent. All right we got to we got the real we got the fake the real and the foe is what bonus will be well. If you're if you're bonus you're on each lot new blog. I was just looking at the bonus pool and there is a good amount of people in there. So number a good number of people. Sorry to leave amount of things you can count like amount of time you can count time, necessarily, you can number the minutes you can number the hours but you can't count time is a quantity that can't be counted. Sure, I am positive. Trust me there are some things I have. I'm anal-retentive about and the use of of number versus amount yes I'm just telling okay so we got easel and nubile are which one are you on easel and nubile are or are cocoa silent, I'm on like this, both because her madman but my pick on. I just wrote a new blog. Have we yet joined the other survivor pool where were going to be working together but who gets the final say. If we don't agree. That's the question we get rock paper scissors yes no, I'm not afraid of you. How would a putting contest just to be pretty funny if we had like a putting contest for everything thing we didn't agree on. We spent our entire like life on the putting green dry. One of those no office Madsen's monster.

Somebody here is got one never gets used it because they were working from home for to know your okay click does Google find here we go it's already up on it way is up. No okay sorry I'm like bombarding producer J so what would you like me to ask people do we need some volunteers to join.

He's easily a new bar survivor island. I'm asking you.

Do we need volunteers would be great.

So that's what happens because it seems to me that it's functional.

It's fairly functional, so what we do to someone if you could just try it, please both having a pre-existing login which I'm pretty sure works and starting from scratch. Can you please someone go and report back to us were asking if you would please go to either our show twitter after hours CBS. It's been to the top or go to our Facebook page also been to the top and all were asking is if you would just try it and report back and let us know if there are still snags still snags in kinks, police, and we really appreciate you helping us out. So that's a little bit of business.

The other piece of business is the show question that will come in the form of fill in the blank. I love these are my favorite NFL tweets, and post to put out there is asking you to fill in the blank. Producer J is working on this as well as a bazillion other things. Did you know that producer J can chuckle hey what happened to the garlic knots where you want them or you didn't warm them is actually to be a like a cat and mouse game. For me, not a rat because it's not the same because producer Jay looks so tired it out to see if I can get them to do. Like so many things that he starts yawning again and that he breaks his promise not to yell and will that, let's think about what nine things right now I don't know is like stop talking. Oh well, pardon me for asking you to talk on the radio show to easy when he's tired.

It's too easy I can I can toy with them, but all end up thinking stupid to her that all the got Dodo so maybe… So anyway were asking for a couple volunteers.

Please let us know if you can get onto Isola new bar survivor island by using our social media and starting fresh so brand-new email and in addition to that very soon will of a post up on our social because today is working about it or were asking you to fill in the blank in 2022.

The key to success for my team is what and I'm telling you, if all of you list your quarterbacks. I'm I'm going to blow my top no I'm not.

I would ignore you because it's not just about your quarterbacks.

It's really not. In some cases it may be about your quarterbacks. Let's be creative.

Let's be a little original shall we so the post is up on Twitter a already out after hours. CBS and the post will soon be up on her Facebook page.

By the way, thank you all for your kind words about the selfies that mom and I took I posted on social they'd been up on Twitter for a while but we just put them up on Facebook in the last 24 hours and is really funny to me that people think I'm short in these photos. How can you tell people I don't know where you're coming from or why, but you crack me up. So yes, lots of you commenting about how my mom and I look at twins. I she is. She's got a smile that lights up a room and the teenagers love her and back when I we were at church on Sunday.

One of her juniors in high school came up and give her a hug like kids love her teenagers do not love me. I don't wait teenagers and I do not get along. In fact, I keep telling my mom that whenever I am a mom and I have teenagers on me to send them to her for real. I like younger kids. I speak the same language is 1011-year-old they seem to love me. I don't know about teenagers anyway. Mom is greatly teenagers they absolutely adore her and that I think they keep her young as well, so she continues to teach and she continues to take.

Don't know crap from them but also they love her because she makes jokes and she sarcastic and she is a big old smile. So if you didn't see those photos there up on Facebook and also on Twitter. We have a lot to get to tonight in the world of sports especially diamond drama. What is this week with all the walk offs. I got to admit, even though I was still listening to John Rooney and Cardinals radio in the bottom of the ninth. I was getting ready for work and Cardinals were trailing the nationals in St. Louis by four runs in the bottom of the ninth and wouldn't you know they found a way to stir the pot and make it a lot more interesting than it maybe should have been. Also, both the Mets and Yankees try to protect their leaves are get a lead in their division both in doubleheaders on Wednesday was Wednesday right. Oh my gosh, the days are all putting together Jade I actually had this I would say it lasted more than 60 seconds conversation about which day it was on the phone Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Which of those so will look at the doubleheaders plus the Houston Astros there right now. Not locked any kind of a playoff race unless you're talking about best record in the American League, but they still are working on them making sure their playoff form and we got to see it a little bit on Wednesday so fill in the blank were looking for you to hang out with the show question of the night in 2022. The key to success for my NFL team is what and also we need some guinea pigs. Some lab rats. If you will for survivor island because we need to know if it works, and what the kings are and what the problems are so fight is on Twitter and Facebook and we're just getting started. By the way, 40 minutes from now working to spend some time in LA with our friend Stalcup Chio, who is out there hanging with Bill's Mafia in advance of Thursday's kickoff tomorrow. Tomorrow night will be talking about bills and Rams week one NFL kickoff, exactly, are you kidding me it's here it's actually here tomorrow it's here it's after hours with Amy Lawrence CBSSports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast about six Tuesday to check out of the game just the way it's going to really do not put anything together. Not sure you will be about to give up the big void in the state law and I do think this speaks of the culture of the club.

No real mentality for them to stay locked in rot away in the night. Stuff to us after hours with Lori Holly Marmol, manager of the Cardinals and the team enjoys a major home-field advantage. I know a lot of people debate in baseball whether or not home-field matters but it does these cordial they have 120 other last 23 games at home and it did not matter that against the nationals. They were trailing by four runs going into the bottom of the ninth. So here are the deep fear of the digits.

If you will for these red birds that you hear with John Rooney on Cardinals radio. They are a season-high 25 games over 500. They're playing their best baseball of the year. In fact there some kind of wonderful. In the second half and they are now 9 1/2 games ahead of Milwaukee in the NL Central when that turn into a lead that's almost as large as what the Astros have I taught the AL West job will essentially what the Yankees have atop the AL East Tommy admin with the RBI double to drive on the game-winner. But this was an all-out assault in the ninth inning.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBSSports radio speaking why older rallies and well wild pitches the Astros come up with crazy waste away into back on the left side field shallow first pitch and the stars that spiraled at the role you are so Kyle Tucker smoke.

The game-tying home run for the Astros against the Rangers in the sixth inning and it was a stalemate, if you well. It was toted to go and Bennett to ballet.

Until then, until the bottom of the 10th with the walkoff wild pitch right was back to Robert Ford and Steve Sparks on Astros radio than Kyle on AT&T Sportsnet Southwest.

It and the. The Astros while they have this comfortable lead atop the American League West at the Levin game still over Seattle who is incidentally fighting for a playoff spot. The fact that they have been able to withstand injuries and come up with ways to win is impressive and so were not paying as much attention to them. Just like were not paying as much attention to the Dodgers on a national level because there are already essentially locked in the got magic numbers for heaven sakes, but these teams want to be in that form where there's edge and there's intensity, there's a sense of urgency because we are in the last month and they want to be playing some of their best baseball as we hit the postseason. October is coming, that becomes when my favorite hashtags in September. It's already September 7 for heaven sakes I just I can't even wrap my brain around how fast September is going and that in mere days I will be headed to Wisconsin just holy cow, I'd I want football to be here and am excited for football but it causes the world to spit a whole lot faster when we finally get into the season and and the weeks then just there fast and furious. So to that end, we got a brand-new football question are first of this NFL season and we love fill in the blanks and we also love dancing gifts will consider this to be lawful under NFL rules because he's not using any props you don't want them talking about the check out our show Twitter after hours CBS in 2022. The key to success for my NFL team is what were already hearing from fan bases all over the country. We got dozens of responses already and I promise you either. Your tweet will be read or retweeted and then on Facebook. I will go through those as well and I love love love the ones that have nothing to do with quarterbacks. I get it back is impactful. Okay, just we get it we do QB news almost every night during the season. But there's more to life.

There's more to your football team than just your quarterback, which is why when I did my fantasy football draft on Wednesday evening I managed to hold off on drafting your quarterback until the seventh round.

You know, I've never done that before.

I always always jump the gun on quarterbacks Eileen, I don't necessarily dropped as early as pretties are jaded with Josh Allen but I do jump the gun when it comes to quarterbacks because I get I get like I get itchy trigger finger whatever just mix my my analogies but I can't.

I just can't sometimes sit back and wait. Here's the problem, though I way to the seventh round. I get what is a great quarterback and I hated him. I got a problem probably. Anyway will get definitive about pattern. The homes of the message. For those of you are big into fantasy football. We got a very extensive version of QB news from the AMC to the NFC and back again. Also, the latest at the U.S. Open and will history being made for the Americans. Which is awesome. Though Jessica put goal of losing in the quarterfinals. So, the daughter of the bills owners will not advance any farther is so much to get to. As I say, including the New York baseball teams who both of them are facing fights now through the course of September but find us on Twitter after hours.

CBS has anyone responded to our invite to help us figure out survivor island Isola new bar new bar. Curtis has volunteered to go to, no problems was one started fresh just login no issues.

So what are the chances that the people who are complaining just there a day late and a dollar short or there there distilled the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor might be a good writer from Curtis just create a new account for survivor island. No issues.

Okay, so on Facebook we need someone oh trace is on Facebook. Just let me set up a few minutes ago.

Lori and Robert said the same. Just did this while you're asking for a guinea pig, clicked on this link. Login to CVS that made my pics saved it easy PC but the people are like no link to panic won't let me open the app. What I don't understand people thank you thank you Lori and Robert, thank you Trey thank you Curtis. We appreciate you being our lab rats for survivor island were rebranding a slight new bar. Watch out for the term of the data sources all him saying you better watch your back what your six. Okay, next door to get to little more than a baseball.

And there's a big piece of news coming for one ace who hits the IL and then top of the hours south of pot to our friends who we think is not a real good time hanging out with Bill's Mafia in LA before tomorrow's kickoff will ask him the question will ask you to fill in the blank. The key to success for my NFL team in 2022 is what's it's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast to wall almost all is amazing and I mean these are over the years we go to the polls will show so cold all Lori L. Mexico will go you were after-hours with Lawrence. That is the voice of John Sterling was actually keep me company while I was exercising because it was a long first game of the doubleheader between Yankees and Twins and the Yankees like the twins had multiple opportunities that were squandered in that first game.

In fact the Yankees had the bases loaded and nobody out in the 11th and could not push a runner across the plate, but they do walk off in the 12th inning of the opener again and also features homerun number 55 for wine Aaron judge and then in the second game.

It was Garrett Cole who gave up an initial run just one run on five hits for him 14 strikeouts were Garrett Cole, while there is no sticky tack on those well-liked I can't say that unequivocally, but I'm assuming there's no sticky tack almost 14 strikeouts 14 strikeouts are not even seven full innings and he gives the team a chance to win. He hangs in their hands in their hands in their and by the time he has settled into his groovy strength of the side here.

There is you here with sterling for the hundred and 18 pages the offense for the Yankees comes up with on not generate enough and this time it's a three run home run was that for Isaiah Connor Philippa and so the Yankees are able to win a couple of different ways on Wednesday and sweep that this doubleheader from the twins which is infinitely frustrating for their manager Rocco Baldelli. I want to beat those teams. I don't want to be sitting here talking about how good the Yankees are anymore or the last or the Dodgers or any of those things I want to talk about our guys and how we find ways to win ball games any which way is fine with me but that's what I'd like to do. I don't want to be sitting here talking about how good the Yankees are love that I feel like that's probably something I would say I don't think we're jogging about how good the Aggies are there people all over the country who don't love it when the egg grows. Rocco Baldelli actually play when I was first breaking into sports radio is after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio so thank you rock. But back to the Yankees to take this doubleheader. By the way, think you pretty today for the correction. Connor Philippa hit a grand slam in the second game I want to slight him by Rundgren claims pretty impressive to the Yankees have now won four in a row still below 500 since the All-Star break but now won four in a row and Garrett Cole gets a yeoman share of the credit for that second game after everybody was exhausted from what was a four hour marathon.

The first half of this doubleheader just makes for greater minimum been really really tough one.

If you're over on the other end of this. I thought that the first game labored in the Strachan was was was obviously a big swing I think would impress me those you know you got into the 60s thereafter in the third inning they really made them work in the third inning to be able almost complete seven forests obviously and in a game that works in back there does just what we need Aaron Bowen talking about Garrett Cole Garrett Cole talking about the doubleheader and for the moment.

It has given the Yankees a bit more breathing room now leading the Tampa Bay rays by five games in the daily front of us gets what's coming up this weekend at Yankee Stadium theories against the Tampa Bay rays. Boy I cannot wait. I actually scored some tickets for Saturday and I'm all about it the opportunity to go to, not just one but two baseball games in the span of a couple of weeks. As a fan and just get to enjoy the atmosphere.

I tell you all the time that baseball being in the stadium is one of my favorite ways just kick back and relax and enjoy sports, and I would go to a game baseball spy. My favorite of any of the games to go to when I just want to relax and and have a good time and so I'm really looking forward to Yankees and race in the act through the stadium.

I'm sure it's going to be total insanity so that will be fun.

On Saturday, of course, all pictures and a full report for the Yankees.

Though it's not cruise control anymore as we get through the final 33+ weeks of the regular season, a factor look at it now hundred and 27 games down with still 35 to go. Kiesel, 35 games. Weight 35 is that right hundred and 27. Yes, with 35 games to go yet that okay that seems a lot though to cram in between now and the first week of October. It's it's got all work out the hundred 62, regardless of whether or not my math is accurate. So the Yankees and the five game lead on the race, but the rays are hot to trot, they sweep the Red Sox they get their 829 games, and it feels like right now. Nothing can interrupt their flow there on some kind of a roll and I just kinda check off the boxes sweep here I theories when they are, they keep on cruising every Wednesday. So especially is a good thing with them don't come easy come easy on the stretcher so all we can do is recommend and Elton doing the past 23 weeks Tyler Walz about the rays over the Red Sox and yet they carve themselves quite spot there. If you think about the wildcard whether or not they catch the Yankees that still remains to be seen, but they do have the game athlete over the of the Mariners in the AO wildcard and then the Blue Jays right now are sitting at number three spot.

Though the Orioles are still a force to be reckoned with. Size can be fun. I know football becomes this bully in the centering of the circus in and takes so much space and a lot of hot air. Let's be honest, mine and everyone else's in sports radio and TV when it comes to football, but it's a it's a big deal to these final few weeks of the baseball plate well playoff run and then to get into the postseason in October. It's just it's so good.

It gives you that tingle. I'm sure that's what Mike Tomlin would say. As for the National League East.

When we last checked on the Braves and the Mets they were in a dead heat atop the division standings Spencer Strider picks up his tent when on Wednesday as the Braves win in Oakland it's a day game last two runs in the first inning and then pages five more scoreless innings for his 10th victory of the season as the Braves are taking care of their business.

So far, just skim on first searching for ministries rate plus feelings in my mind, passive, so the Braves do what they're supposed to do in the bay area. That means it's your served New York Mets pipeline left-center field pretty so Wednesdays going back there.

The pretzel Wednesday at the wall. Tyler sent one of the Mets pulled through the count go do flyball. The left center that should always fix the one that's deep to center Reynolds going back still going to the wall. He leaps atop the basin will score Alonzo ends up her third double for Francisco: no son deals not. It takes a step euros.

The first seven shutout want to print on the ground.

The first time sweep for the New York Mets will leave Pittsburgh back by themselves in first place of the National League East buyer two days after losing home so to also tomorrow regroup and as soon as Jacob gone now five and wine and he pitches in the second half of this Mets sweep over the pirates so great part PNC right now.

The pirates don't really show off.

Instead, you go there because you want to watch the visiting team and enjoy great atmosphere in Pittsburgh seven innings for Jacob to grommet 9091 pitches. When I looked in the box score he gives up just three hits, no runs strike at eight, so it seems as though the training will have been taken offer to grommet and he is full speed ahead calls there on Mets radio. So with the doubleheader when they got the half game lead over the Mets in the NL East update on the U.S. Open. Carlos Alcaraz moved into the semi finals and the men thought a five set victory over Janik and her five hours and 15 minutes and he will face American phrases to file in that semi finals coming up later in the weekend.
