10-4-22 After Hours with Amy Lawrence PODCAST: Hour 1

Without the ones like you who work tirelessly to keep things running everything would suddenly stop hospitals, factories, schools and power plants.

They all depend on you matter the weather emergency or time of day you are the ones who get it done and Granger were here for you 24 seven with supplies and solutions for every industry and access to product specialist ready to help. Call click Granger.com were just out by Granger for the ones who get it done for her second year at Maggie's navigating. Thanks again, Aaron 1P. I played hurt the man definitely talk when it comes to the above he was getting tossed around Matt Byrd and the Rams Super Bowl champ yet but definitely have not figured out how to beat the 49ers well and even before, Matthew Stafford, Joe McVeigh hasn't figured out how to beat Kyle Shanahan in the regular season that the key right on the plane interacting me and nobody is really asking me but I'm going to share it anyway because that's what I get paid to do. I don't get paid that much. But while there were still paying me as well as register my opinions so I would rather lose every last regular-season game to my arrival and beat him in the playoffs. IVI did I get it. It's bragging rights and all that jazz.

Certainly salts in your open wounds and Matthew Stafford definitely keeps throwing pick six is okay for Francisco great time. Not the same if not the same as losing to them in the NFC championship game so okay we can make a big deal of it now. If it's a game in the regular season that prevents you from making the playoffs or the game in the regular season that puts you in a wildcard spot instead of winning the division well, sure, that changes things.

But as long as the Rams can look back at the end of the championship game that they hosted on their fields. Sure Jimmy drop below can be excited about the fact that the Niners are six and no against the Rams and games he started during the regular season, but as long as you put the cat during the regular season.

Let's not get overboard with the bragging rights okay.

I do love when Levi Stadium is got a ton of crazy fans in it though and when Devo Samuel is doing Devo things he is worth the investment. I'm glad that the Niners decided to get that whole situation settled and paid him before the season started because he's definitely a game changer.

He's physical. He's top.

He's big, he's brash, he's bold. He's a brute and Boise skilled and he can do a lot of different things. It's funny because Cooper cup can do anything that you ask of him on the football field and yet he Devo are so different they both have the ability to push through lines to find open spaces to break tackles issues that Cooper cup is shifty.

He's even want to Betty were on the field writing to be widened to be in the slot he can be in the backfield. Even if you know we on the field and you know you have to keep track of them.

It's still a nearly impossible task to prevent him from making plays and Devo. Samuel is similar except his body type is so different. He's much more of a brute you actually get hurt when you try to tackle Devo so a lot of fun to see these two defenses clash ends. Certainly the Niners get the best of the Rams again seven sacks Matthew Stafford can be sore. It's a shorter workweek seven sacks and 11 extra QB hits. He had peeped up at his girl anything red nightmares about San Francisco 49ers red but that wrapped up week for.

Also, can you hear the quiet that cleaning up fields all over the country that will start mowing and doing all the landscaping until we get closer to the next game day, week four is already in the books while at least the wow to me that the first month is already done and still working to sift sift through the aftermath and we do have some injury updates offer you from the NFL on this Monday night into Tuesday morning. 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 rocket can will call them Monday night leftovers. What we didn't get to on Sunday during the show though. I am proud once again that producer J and I were able to cover every single shot. Everything will game that happened on Sunday in one form or another. Obviously some games get more attention. We have more reaction to some games the biggest storylines, but we did get everything will game coming up on this edition of the show we can catch up on baseball every postseason birth birth is accounted for, though we don't have all the matchups exactly set but you teams, one from the American League one from the National League ending lengthy postseason droughts so that supercool our pools just keeps smashing the baseball and have you noticed about pools. These are not home runs that come in, garbage time, quote unquote every single one of his home runs or run-scoring hits these days either put the Cardinals on the board put my head or turned out to be a game-winner enter to see what he's doing at the age of 42 years old is phenomenal and the way that he has risen to the occasion and that is not biding his time in collecting his last few paychecks and just accepting all of the praise and honor and gifts.

Of course that are coming his way. Now he's not doing that he wants to go out a winner he wants to go out like Peyton Manning who doesn't really teach you Peyton oh Peyton and Eli. They crack me up. And tonight on the Monday night meetings they had jailed hurts really interesting with his pain and Eli or I would call the blade back there not in your Facebook Peyton in your face, but there they're not like loud and obnoxious really. They're not like oh gosh you I don't know who I could use like Michael Irvin they're not like that. But there run of the show would have a good time and jailed hurts is so laid-back curry who is just as much more chill. He would actually roll fund. He was in the third quarter. I just I just stay on the Monday night means end of the third quarter because of staff. Curry is just interesting. The two of them in the dynamic with with current athletes who are little more laid-back but a lot of fun to watch them. They crack me up when they make fun of each other what at one juncture, they were talking about Aaron Donald and Eli said he wrecks havoc and Peyton is going on is breaking got a play about three minutes later he says hey I just want to call attention to the fact that you said wreck havoc about it wreak havoc, and I'm not letting you get away with the fact wreck havoc mean and Eli says a lot of what the word wreak means though like a typical little brother says when you lift up your your arms, your armpits wreak like there to get a little playground somewhere. Still, the dynamic is pretty funny when what since Gary got all the show painted something about hey I need your advice because you also have an annoying little brother they make.

Football is so much fun and I would agree with staff I learned from watching the broadcast pain is so technical sometimes that it's almost hard to keep up with them. There are times when I listened back to one of the breakdowns of a play that he offers because I want to understand what he saying that Eli doesn't do it quite as much but when Eli does that.

He uses a laser pointer which is kind of fun and so he he breaks down the play yeah what watching them talk football in the first quarter there generally by themselves, watching them talk football learn about formations and terminology and other technical nuances of the NFL because this is what Peyton dead. He was so technical he studied all the time he made sure his receivers knew what the heck was going on, but there really wasn't anything he hadn't seen on the football field so the way they explained I think is actually really it's great. It's more technical than what we get from Tony Romo.

But remember, one of the reasons that Pete Tony was so popular when he first got on the TV set is because he made it so that people who've never played football before could understand what happening out there again.

He's not nearly as technical on CBS as Peyton can be. But I agree with staff. Steph mentioned I'm learning a lot of stuff from you guys is like the fact that chicken farm taste so good after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio.

You can buy me on Twitter a little radio. Thank you for all of your kind words about the flowers on my back patio. Man they were inundated by rain all day much all day Monday, but a good portion of the day on Monday.

I still have a lot of rain in the Northeast and more to come in so doing it. I couldn't mow my lawn on Monday and shoot. I couldn't get that grass he pointed I am the worst when it comes to your work. I will procrastinate until the cows come home to start eating my front lawn cows in my neighborhood, but we do a lot of deer actually foxes haven't seen more foxes lately to. It's been a few years and I see a coyote but I've seen a couple of those two.

So why didn't mow the lawn.

I really didn't get anything done outside because it was cold and rainy. Never got above 51° them thinking okay I talk about it ready for winter.

But I my really ready for. Can we tap the brakes a little bit and get some nice fall weather upper 60s sunshine early silica early 70s or low 70s would be the right way to say it.

Penny is already into winter mode.

She hibernates for the entire winter, but she certainly sleeps a lot more in the winter and when I went to leave the house.

Actually I was getting ready for work and she was snoring so loudly and I felt so bad. Waking her up, but I'm not kidding about this. He takes 10 minutes to get that dog outside these days she so slow and so I got a start waking her up like me when I was in high school I was the I still am the worst morning person and my mom would have to start waking me up 10 minutes. 15 minutes of or actually had to be up because it took me forever what you doing in there you're not a good reason to have a computer.

I feel like you're about to drop some type of audio on me.

Yes your so yeah Petty was soaring. I was snoring super loudly and I was jealous you know it's football season.

What I'm jealous of the dog, and how much she gets to sleep so by me on Twitter or on Facebook after hours with Amy Lawrence. If you haven't yet voted for the miserable morbid Monday those teams that should be feeling more miserable and morbid on Monday. Then I sent morbid that we kind of that's a little bit extreme little dramatic mortified wood is the word we morbid though sometimes we get so get so attached to our team and so emotional about our teams that we can feel morbid on a Monday after a team stink still works and doesn't work so word in order to wrap up week for it. Like I said, we've got Monday night football. We've got the injury updates and secure morbid. We got some of those to pass along actually couple of funny moments later moments from the weekend that I think you'll enjoy seeing and just our reactions to them.

We'll start with football will think of analogy you really want to start with football.

Our next segment, but because we are putting the puzzle pieces together for the baseball playhouse would start when they start pretty today on Friday Friday the Friday my gosh I cannot believe they start on Friday but that is absolutely the case I don't even know the format it's it's it's Friday Saturday Sunday for wildcards. I could be wrong though, that they may make them play doubleheaders seven innings. I'm just totally getting what we going to extra innings we have that ridiculous gimmicky ghost runner on second base I am not 100% sure is your 5% to 5%.

Here Iversen I hate that.

So wouldn't it so annoying I don't really love wildcard theories either me and I've I've been pretty vocal about the fact that I think the one and done in the wildcard is more appropriate.

I think it's perfect for fans because it sucks you in right away you winter your.net said no. I know the whole it's not fair, but life is not fair if you don't want to be a wildcard. Then when your division about that. How about them apples. So anyway I don't I don't love wildcard series. However, that's what we've got. So I'll enjoy it yesterday all start on Friday will be best-of-three best-of-three so the divisional series can't start until next week but it's good to be out a while blitz for wildcard weekend. I would like the NFL.

This is what they're trying to do their try to create a wildcard weekend like the Novell does. So that actually starting all all for the division series on the same date of those will all count on October what it is not so this is what we sign up for October is literally the busiest month of the year.

Most of the time. I told my friend to work a lot that if you work too much. You get old quick more quickly affect. I was just saying that your friend of mine a couple hours ago, and because he said he did have a day off until Christmas. What you get really old.

You can make you older faster rate. But the thing is, in October, all bets are off the I really don't do much in October. Besides I do feed myself. Take care of my pets and watch sports. That's it. That's all. I mean, if I can manage a few Xers, like a few exercise sessions here there but when I do yoga. This is so bad we do yoga during October. There's no Zen like don't tell my yoga instructor, but I've set up my laptop so that you can front of the TV. So while I'm doing yoga with her on the laptop. I've gotten the games all behind her is not here yet. Like I kick off evening yoga. Glad to be that way.

Yeah she doesn't realize you think that looking at her. The laptop sitting in front of the TV right though I do everything she tell me to do the TV on mute but the baseball zone behind her.

The baseball I mean if I fall over in some kind of oppose and break something will then the answer would be yes.

But I'm I tried it because it's good stretching its good flexibility training. It's good strength training but yeah but the whole and then when were supposed to be doing arch our last pose where we relax, seeing her eyes are closed and and were stretched out. I'm cheating right I have like one eye open up like angled so I can see the TV yeah exactly terrible the war's yoga student ever but I love her. She's the best. All right sell as they say the picture is coming together and we had our last entrance into the just a few hours ago first pitch on the way and swarmer swing sets at high a deep left field turning up the wall. Matt save you hundreds go home. Carlos Schwaber the Phillies on topics one wanted to hide the right field.

If it's fair, it's gone is all swarmer with his waiting on the 12 inch and here it is swung on pop.shallow center, non-marsh on the run.

Susan is the slow start and they have taken the final spot in the playoffs is one of John's clenches all of us all traveling party.

All does and so is as old as long as it is there. Bryce Harper on making the postseason with his second team member. He missed a good chunk of time I was broken wrist that what was this year he got hit on the wrist by pitch, but he's back and a big part of the Phillies final push to grab that third nationally wildcard before the IGT real motel you can hear the emotion in his voice on NBC Sports Valley and then Scott Frankie on Phillies radio with not just the cows were home runs. I guess that saying something first pitch ball is gone. You think they want to make the playoffs. Okay first. Sure bar with a sure Obama and he is two of them and Erin Dole actually took a perfect game into the seventh inning of this one until they were all on board. They were all about wrapping it up tonight at one of the things that Scott Frankie said is after the slow start.

We remember they fired Joe Gerardi when they were seven games below 500. They were 22 and 29 and they fired their manager and while I don't necessarily think it's always the managers fault.

Sometimes there is a fresh voice required a fresh perspective guys just tune out a manager or coach is that on them. Sure, but sometimes the chemistry and the cut the connection the communication.

It just doesn't work and so would Joe Gerardi didn't really work there, at least not the way that they wanted to and so the Phillies that make up the full bracket now in the National League in the American League.

We got some fine teams to root for.

If you do not have a team but you want to be engaged in the baseball postseason. Well, there are some teams that haven't been there in a decade or two to catch you up on everything that's going on a major league baseball get you set because Friday is the start of the play that's crazy to get to football next though will circle around the cool thing about this show as we have a chance to catch up. It's our Monday leftovers so were running the back baby weekend is now firmly in the rearview mirror is after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast on one side and the smell from the downfield of the first Super Bowl sexual old boom on the after-hours time to talk football with the Lord's Harlan on Westwood One as well is great pop on Niners radio at two chunk plays that broke the back of the same using the LA defense and one of them coming on the ground with Jeff Wilson who once through the defense in the middle of the field completely untouched.

The blocks are so good and the safety without a position and to see his way through the first level on the second level of defense all the way to the end zone without getting touch with. Pretty astonishing like he was wearing a red jersey all way he was like you got a red jersey is not supposed to be judged by the people. Samuel from well that was merely a pack actually. But the way that he ducks underneath it usually gets the actually the way that the view in front of them and depot Samuel jumped up over top of them to snag the football because it was it was merely going to be an interception and then depot reverses course and gets across the field and just impossible to bring him down when he and Jerry Rice pointing at you and giving you props will let you know. It was an impressive play.

Yes, not a whole lot. The depot Samuel does is boring, so the author was there they didn't miss the goal in certain Ms. field goal be Niners defense makes the whole thing irrelevant with back-to-back takeaways on fourth-quarter possessions. So yes the Niners are 70 know versus the RAM since 2019 in the regular season, you have to add that cavity, but it is a division victory and for that it has value was really cool to see that we have a chance run away with the longafter George's touchdown to figure returned the next time down there tinkering to the fuel will come up short on that. But that often the pick six ongoing Tribeca out of so school will not play perfect but can't overcome lot of things and of the director fees games different.

Those big one obviously still counts the same boat and is on when one or division can also we were last week we needed to play good with the redoing perfect at all. Definitely better. It's always nice to be these guys division game, just the rooms. It's a dogfight always is always usually comes down to no less cold medicine. The culprit appears play for us at the other to conceal force when you go to itself league like that. It makes for no makes us feel a lot better if young so the situation is for you know just this roller coaster. The season is governed by the highs and lows and kind spirit knows what you can know itself subject success and beyond Jimmy or below 16 of 27 this one for 239 yards and a touchdown. He was not sacked and honestly it looks like he's throwing the ball really well.

Seems like he's on target for the most part you got zip on the ball but he keeps answering questions about how his shoulder is holding up.

I think every dog just keep feel better and better.

No shoulders, just stuff during the season to get it right, but so long since none of us are hopefully ever we go to better better. I wonder if there was any chatter because there certainly was some extracurricular activity there on the field, but I wonder if there is any chatter about hey you be just the regular season, but who went to the Super Bowl and where was that again. I don't know I'm not great at snack talk. I was a really a SMAC talker myself, but you can be sure the nighters.

Haven't forgotten what happened last January when we those were low zero and we got a stag window.

One of the things we focus on all week long, was given back to move the ball run the ball and can burn on third down was fun also lose the day defense left three pigs out there seem different or dominant wages dropped in on the specialty goods out depot was giving his defense a hard time for not having extra interceptions six catches for him 115 yards and a score. I did not actually check of my fantasy football opponent had anyone playing tonight I was up by 15 points. I did want to ruin my entire evenings, I decided I would not check but if she had depot or if she and Cooper cup 14 catches the hundred 22 yards. Even Tyler Higbee or one of these quarterbacks. I may have been sung Matthew Stafford sacked. Speaking of sound sacked seven times and hit another 11 times, and so the people in more ways than one. If your Stafford. He also throws a pick six battle on we were good enough.

You know myself, you know, first and foremost on the roads own pets multitudes up with some points (didn't get touchdowns or knots and apply the difference in your you know, we can execute better weathered stone of kitchen or just assignment was so on what the cleanup probably fought, given a lot of credit football team votes seven position game you know Nick critical are there in the big capitalize on it and that was a story tonight from an office perspective was self-inflicted wounds. You know, just above the neck errors were were not doing the things that were capable of and I expect this to be better than that. Defensively, I know that we continue to battle.

We gave ourselves a chance we can tackle better you credit them for making the plays in the special-teams on top but but overall we didn't do enough to build. When the football game got a short week. All we can do is give a respond but but it wasn't good enough and in order before accordingly above the neck errors as opposes mental errors or I guess to me with a brain far above the neck.

Errors like that from Sean McVeigh's goal allows just 257 yards total to the Rams is fairly prolific. All friends or was Alan Robinson is not seeing the football but he supposed to be the guys stepped in to grab those yards that Odell Beckham Junior at maybe I'm not sure I it's not working out that way, and the rains are over three in the red zone, so this is a game in which even if you are watching it you got caught with a baby. I called upon fast late in the first tabby got kinda bogged down. There were certainly some fireworks in the second half and a convincing win by the Niners as well. In large part due to that defense, I did boast that with a couple more sacks. He loves if a state Matthew Stafford of the Rams all right a week for the box. You can find us on Twitter a lot radio hour after hour CBS if you want to vote for our Monday mortification pole. It almost sounds like, well, nevermind it doesn't matter. That's just just vote okay and also on our Facebook page 2 because were now a month into regular season is crazy. You are listening to the after-hours podcast right so they said toward the wall, fly Harris for second in there standing up in on the double. It's one of the Harlan's near right-center setting Harris back onto the track will make it for nothing really just based on the left field line of the first that didn't miss that timeout the right-center race after hours with Lawrence Brady, radio and Marlins radio, at least for now.

It's been postponed. The clinching of the NL East right so the Braves are in prime position. They just need 1 More Way with the Mets getting rained out. Actually on Monday because there back at Citi Field.

The Braves on the road at Miami and that celebration has been delayed, but they put themselves in prime position with a sweep of the Mets over the weekend and now that magic number is teeny tiny just won't happen on Monday.

You know when you are a lot of moving parts. So go back out all the baseball postseason births hard to pluralize that word all of the baseball postseason bids have been encountered for its after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio we know in the National League. The division title is still not set by the Braves sitting at 100 wins.

The Mets at 98, when in a game and 1/2 back. Braves are in the driver seat but Braves and Mets are both into the playoffs ads over the Phillies. Congratulations to the Phillies locking up one of the NL wildcards first playoff spot for the Phillies in a full decade in the NL Central. It's only the cardinals who win the division. It's kinda stoning what happened to the brewers the way they fell off in the last month to six weeks and then in the National League West. The Dodgers now sitting on 110 wind that actually dropped their last two games, and so they already set a franchise record in terms of single-season victories, but they've stalled as we head toward the postseason. They are 50 games above 500 of them seen and the Padres also make the playoffs as well. As one of the wildcards, but the team does not win the NL East will end up with the number one wildcard by far, far and away either the Braves or the Mets will be the top wildcard although it doesn't really guarantee you much except for getting just a host but that's how it goes is if you don't win your division and you have to go through this wildcard gauntlet first in the American League it's the Yankees. Obviously, in the American League East division that clinched that division title couple weeks ago last week shooter somebody Aaron judge at bats in this arid judge watch that now that what that team has John is actually become secondary. Shouldn't be that way both Blue Jays and the rays have locked up wildcards the guardians the youngest major league baseball 90 wins. They clinch that Central division crown. The Astros had the best record in the AL.

They as well as the Mariners have made it to the playoffs in word and let you hear the Mariners final call coming up next hour, not to mention the reaction because it's been 21 years since Seattle last tasted October baseball that mattered. This is so amazing and so excited for the Mariners as well as for the Phillies fan and so it's always fun to root for fresh blood.

If you needed team to root for what we've got opportunities for you to to sink your teeth into the playoffs even if your team didn't make it. I was just thinking about how football and baseball kinda blend together in a big blur in October and football is different, right it's it's not moving constantly, but it is much more fast-paced and it does move along one of the commitments of this particular Commissioner Roger Caddell. It is not one games that go too much longer than three hours. They really do want to stick to that three hour average time of game were in major league baseball in the playoffs. Everything solo holds down I'm not telling you it is an interesting or compelling or entertaining.

It could certainly be dramatic, but you have to make the investment in the baseball postseason when you think about the number of pitching changes and not just pitching changes for the sake of hay were pulling our starter, but pitching changes for the sake of well situation. We want this guy versus this header and the number of pitching changes we get in the playoffs to can be. I know can be overwhelming and really baseball can be overbearing at times. In October, but I'm excited about some of the storylines and that's what keeps me invested, not to mention my job.

But what keeps me invested is the fact that there are some really cool stories.

For instance, the Braves last year right in the fact that they had won a World Series since the mid-90s but also that Brian sticker had never won a ring and he been in baseball for decades.

As always, those really cool stories and moments and sentimental favorites and will do a lot more baseball.

Our pools continuing to tear it up right now when it comes to home runs as well. And if you missed it, the Cardinals had a real special ceremony and had come up with something really cool for the triumvirate pools yet here Melina and Adam Wainwright who doesn't sound like he's ready to retire. So were not quite fair that all three writing over the sunset together. They deftly in playoff games and they will host a wildcard series as the winner of the NL Central.

But for now to be able to honor them when they're playing for anything when there wasn't anything on the line over the weekend in their final regular-season series at Busch Stadium is pretty amazing. The emotion and the electricity at the stadium, but also the celebration of the careers of Albert and yada here Melina. Specifically, you can find me on Twitter a lot radio also on our Facebook page after hours with Amy Lawrence.

I understand we had our Chicago affiliate with us on Sunday night into Monday. I don't know that's the case tonight was codifying as I heard from a bunch of blisters on our Chicago affiliate a.m. 670 the score. Every now and then there are other affiliates who join in and maybe don't have the show.

A lot of the time, so it's always cool to connect with people who either haven't heard after hours in a while or who are hearing it for the first time and that seems to happen a lot more during football season during the fall was shaking with Barry was in Detroit got a couple minutes for hit the top of the hour. Welcome to after hours you forever are you doing what you're doing well thank you all my God I forgot to ask you tell your producer I'm I unaligned my mother, Gregory. I'm all but not bloodlines that I told don't highlight everything else you think the you know I left the game and don't tell the wind fail. Got Amy. I turn the radio exactly when that that that that the dog be the flag start beat beat the timeclock fiasco.

It scored a touchdown. I was so mad at myself because I was so prophetic, I feel better.

It's all my fault you don't say I don't I don't think you have anything to do with it. I hate to hurt your feelings that you got nothing to do with it.

I couldn't believe guy about that when that will not happen but will Detroit tigers BCL delight you don't feel try to beat us to do like the role will Detroit. Final depth and and and the lifespan.

The veteran like I lost 34, 45 years and they in the outer him. Can you imagine being a lion for like 45 years under him as hard as I wish I knew his name went to all the games already sold the tickets or give them away. Maybe I don't know like holy cow, but could you imagine being alive all those years a glutton for punishment really heart you know they only mistake all the trimming. Always get that's kind of funny get to go on Thanksgiving. That's sweet talk you and JI hello to you. I love that you started that with I'm not a lion fan is not looking like a lion tigers in the Red Wings will see you know. Anyway I write you back okay great. Right now they're not actually plus differential.

I think we use the stat late on our Sunday night into Monday morning show.

No team has ever given up and scored 281 points at this juncture in the season, except for the licenses for seventh ever happened in NFL history is after hours with Amy Lawrence CBSSports radio anywhere friends go to church on the team, ensuring we see you Joe and Ellie keeps her Stadium run smoothly first start Ranger done
