During a break Thom Brennaman uses a slur didn't realize the mic was on and the camera was rolling. Later in the game he apologizes and begs for forgiveness
It’s a real bummer that everyone jumps right to joking about this. Thom Brennaman made a mistake here and you can really tell that there’s a drive into deep left by castellanos it will be a home run, that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame
Remember kids: The mic's always hot, the gun's always loaded, and that's a deep drive to the left by Castallanos. Thats a home run making it a 4-0 ballgame.
This guy said he was sorry from the bottom of his heart- nope, he meant from the bottom of his bank account lol. He was only sorry he got caught and that it would affect his income. Such a good Xtian 😂
Ikr? He said it like he felt there was a chance hed somehow not get paid for his time on this night, but he definitely was because itd be illegal not to pay him for the time just because ya wanna fire him during.
@@biggains1 if they just wanted to fire him you're right but he committed a very fireable offense so it all depends on the contract he had. And I don't think we'll ever get to see it sadly
except he was not getting any money for that he was just genuinely interested in a deep drive to left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run, making it a 4-0 ballgame.
"That's a home run by Castellanos... in the ••• capital of the world! Wow, just wow! I'm a man of faith, God works in mysterious ways! Even in the ••• capital of the world!"
@@AMEER-114-he called it the f @ g capital of the world. So he knew was losing his job because corporations are the only people on earth that are actually scared of the LGBT even they tend to call everyone homophobic for some reason.
Correction: He didn’t get fired. He resigned while there was a deep drive in to left field by Castellanos which would be a home run and it will make it a 4-0 ball game.
Imagine if his tone switched 180 and he got excited and yelled “And there’s a home run!!! 4-0 Reds baby!!! Woo! Yeah!!” And then switches back to being somber again
I'll never understand the "This is not who I am" excuse that's always used. You are who you are when you think no one is looking. It is exactly who you are.
I think it’s more about saying things, jokes especially, that you don’t actually mean. I think everyone has had moments where they have said something and instantly thought “wait what did I just say? My mouth just vomited words that didn’t even enter my brain.” Not excusing him. He definitely deserved to be fired. However, it was a bad joke that was meant to be heard only by people who he knew well enough to understand he was joking. To the rest of the world, he just looks like a person who hates gay people and will openly call people slurs with no remorse. By saying “this is not who i am,” he is just saying that he made a bad, insensitive joke and doesn’t actually feel that way.
Have you EVER said or done something that was out of character for you? If you say no, then you are lying to yourself first and foremost. We don't know if it is true in each case a person claims it, but ALL of us have stepped out of ourselves at times. And I think Nick Castellanos hit another home run.
I’ll never forget when my mom and dad came home and gave us the devastating news…our childhood pet, our beloved dog, Hank, had been diagnosed with cancer. They doctors said they weren’t sure if they would be able to treat…and there’s a deep drive into left by Castellanos, it will be a homerun. That’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
I can relate to Brennamen because I went through something like this myself. In times like those you learn what's really important, and that is that Castalleanos hit a long fly ball to left field that gonna be a home run, and the Reds lead 4-0.

If that faith is Bible-oriented, there are parts of that book that proscribe being a het and not being in bed with "same." So he's basically excusing himself on religious grounds mid-apology. Such faith and attitudes (perhaps/probably) were very necessary thousands of years ago when we humans were constantly on the verge of going extinct due to not enough of us being born, and too many of us dying before we reproduced. Now, it would seem, it doesn't matter who is in bed with whom, because if anything (we're being told) we're on the verge of going extinct due to too much reproduction.
@@tarico4436 Or God has a plan for human behaviour regardless of perceived utility. The New Testament explains this in several places and not once is population growth the issue. Monogamous heterosexual marriage is a picture to the world of the redemptive relationship between God and humanity. This is shown by the man using his authority to submit to Christ and to love and protect his exclusive wife, who in love submits to him as well. Anything outside of that mutually submissive relationship destroys the image.

“I’m sorry, this is not who I am...I mean, it’s who I was three minutes ago, but a man can go through a lot of changes over the course of a commercial break...”
He said that word before a pregame show, and the "apology" came in the 5th, so a little more than three minutes. That said, to me it was more of an "I'm sorry I got caught" apology.
@@Caleferink1 “...I mean, it’s who I was an hour and a half ago, but a man can go through a lot of changes over the course of 5 innings of baseball...” Better?
"I’m sorry, this is not who I am" Even 4Conner admitted that he was bigoted in the past, while going with this narrative. Despite that some of his leaked chat logs with racist shit in them were less than a year old. This announcer couldn't even do that.
I'm surprised he didn't try to weasel out of it by saying he was actually referring to what the _Brits_ call cigarette butts. _Raleigh, West Virginia... The Cigarette Butt Capital of the World!_
That was the most unappreciated home run: no fans and an "apologizing" announcer [Edit]: Wow this really popped up in everybody's recommended, thanks for the likes

@Jon Dough Well you dult. I'm sorry I got caught isn't used in the way you're describing it. He means his only regret is that he has to deal with the consequences, not that he learned anything from it or wouldn't use the word again.
@Jon Dough Someday, maybe, you’ll understand why people apologize and make amends for things they didn’t get caught for. You might have told yourself that you’re living your life without regrets, and brother let me tell you, when the guys that say things like that reach middle age, they have a boatload of regrets. And you’re probably too young to understand how regrets weigh on you. You apologize and make amends when you’ve hurt someone, even if you didn’t get caught. You do it for yourself as much as the other person, and you shouldn’t expect forgiveness. If you’re lucky, you’ll figure out what I’m saying sooner or later. We’re none of us perfect, but we can learn to admit our shortcomings and change them. Beating your meat while fantasizing about your mom’s friend probably didn’t hurt anyone (depending on how rough you were). Feel free to keep that between you and your penis and God if you believe in one that cares about masturbating.
listen to some of the home run calls Hawk Harrelson would do when it was the team playing the White Sox hitting them lol. sometimes he wouldn't even acknowledge it at all
“The person who I was when I thought I was off air is not actually the person I am off-air. The person I am off-air is the person I am on-air. Better, in fact. Also God. Thank you. And sorry”
Any time I'm in a situation where I'm done listening to someone talk, I just blurt out, "as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos. It will be a homerun. And so that will make it a four nothing ballgame." 86% of the time it works every time.

During my first week working in TV I was doing mic checks in the studio before the news. The general manager heard me swear into the mic as he walked by the control room. He came out into the studio and yelled, "if that ever accidentally got out on the air, the FCC fine would be greater than your yearly salary! Go home and think about that!" It terrified me, as it should have, and I thank him for that. Years later I taught TV production and I always told my students that story. My three rules for the studio were no phones, no food, and no cursing... or they get kicked out. About once a semester someone violated the rules and I sent them home for the day. Some of them became pretty successful in the industry, and I know they will never do what this guy did.
My boy Thom Breneman was a gigantic part of my childhood hearing him call all the home diamondback games and calling the world series we won. He truly is a voice I'll never forget
There's an old maxim about firearms. Always, AlWays, ALWAYS treat E V E R Y firearm as if it is loaded. Well, the same should be done with microphones. Always treat a microphone as if it is a live, on, and recording everything you say. I'm absolutely astonished I have to suggest that in 2021 after all the "hot mic" embarrassments we've had in the past 30 years, but, there you have it.
It's true. Even if the mic isn't on for the broadcast, the folks in the truck are able to hear everything at all times, if they so choose. All it takes is one production staffer with sound board operating access to be pissed at an on-air talent, and bang.....

sorry i said a slur i didnt mean too i love jesus ok heres a home run sorry guys who pay me this isnt who i am even though this is the truest form of me cause its the only time i dont think im on live tv ok sorry again pwease forgive me 🥺
he truly is a man of faith, as there is a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a homerun. That'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
If that faith is Bible-oriented, there are parts of that book that proscribe being a het and not being in bed with "same." So he's basically excusing himself on religious grounds mid-apology. Such faith and attitudes (perhaps/probably) were very necessary thousands of years ago when we humans were constantly on the verge of going extinct due to not enough of us being born, and too many of us dying before we reproduced. Now, it would seem, it doesn't matter who is in bed with whom, because if anything (we're being told) we're on the verge of going extinct due to too much reproduction.
@@tarico4436 Or God has a plan for human behaviour regardless of perceived utility. The New Testament explains this in several places and not once is population growth the issue. Monogamous heterosexual marriage is a picture to the world of the redemptive relationship between God and humanity. This is shown by the man using his authority to submit to Christ and to love and protect his exclusive wife, who in love submits to him as well. Anything outside of that mutually submissive relationship destroys the image.
“Man of faith” is a red flag

Sticks and stone may break my bones but words can never hurt me.
“I’m sorry, this is not who I am...I mean, it’s who I was three minutes ago, but a man can go through a lot of changes over the course of a commercial break...”
He said that word before a pregame show, and the "apology" came in the 5th, so a little more than three minutes. That said, to me it was more of an "I'm sorry I got caught" apology.

Even 4Conner admitted that he was bigoted in the past, while going with this narrative. Despite that some of his leaked chat logs with racist shit in them were less than a year old. This announcer couldn't even do that.
I'm surprised he didn't try to weasel out of it by saying he was actually referring to what the _Brits_ call cigarette butts. _Raleigh, West Virginia... The Cigarette Butt Capital of the World!_
That was the most unappreciated home run: no fans and an "apologizing" announcer
[Edit]: Wow this really popped up in everybody's recommended, thanks for the likes
Wait there was a home run? I guess if I rewatch ill notice it
FACTS!!! I’m dead 💀
You'd think that would've got him a raise instead since he's on Fox.

@Jon Dough Well that’s what the Astros did and it worked for them pretty well
@Jon Dough lmfao facts 😭😭. Who’s ever apologized about something they didnt get caught doing
How true, a microphone is always hot, even though you may not be on the air.
@Jon Dough Well you dult. I'm sorry I got caught isn't used in the way you're describing it. He means his only regret is that he has to deal with the consequences, not that he learned anything from it or wouldn't use the word again.
@Jon Dough Someday, maybe, you’ll understand why people apologize and make amends for things they didn’t get caught for. You might have told yourself that you’re living your life without regrets, and brother let me tell you, when the guys that say things like that reach middle age, they have a boatload of regrets. And you’re probably too young to understand how regrets weigh on you. You apologize and make amends when you’ve hurt someone, even if you didn’t get caught. You do it for yourself as much as the other person, and you shouldn’t expect forgiveness.
If you’re lucky, you’ll figure out what I’m saying sooner or later. We’re none of us perfect, but we can learn to admit our shortcomings and change them.

During my first week working in TV I was doing mic checks in the studio before the news. The general manager heard me swear into the mic as he walked by the control room. He came out into the studio and yelled, "if that ever accidentally got out on the air, the FCC fine would be greater than your yearly salary! Go home and think about that!" It terrified me, as it should have, and I thank him for that.
Years later I taught TV production and I always told my students that story. My three rules for the studio were no phones, no food, and no cursing... or they get kicked out. About once a semester someone violated the rules and I sent them home for the day. Some of them became pretty successful in the industry, and I know they will never do what this guy did.

There's an old maxim about firearms. Always, AlWays, ALWAYS treat E V E R Y firearm as if it is loaded. Well, the same should be done with microphones. Always treat a microphone as if it is a live, on, and recording everything you say. I'm absolutely astonished I have to suggest that in 2021 after all the "hot mic" embarrassments we've had in the past 30 years, but, there you have it.
It's true. Even if the mic isn't on for the broadcast, the folks in the truck are able to hear everything at all times, if they so choose. All it takes is one production staffer with sound board operating access to be pissed at an on-air talent, and bang.....
Or just don’t be homophobic. That way you can say whatever you want whenever you want and you won’t ever be caught saying this.
