<v Speaker 6>hair and prayed that it would stole off the effects

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.240

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 6>get every excuse in the world to quit and save

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.719

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>What do you suggest that's reasonable? Dina rule, Dodgers are.

0:07:34.080 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Back your fire hard. That's a class.

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 5>You know, Petrov's having a really good authority that there

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 5>is a lot of people on the ten East right

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 5>now making their way through the valley, on their way

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.079

<v Speaker 1>We are not among them no anymore now, And that's okay.

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.800

<v Speaker 1>from there. Are you gonna go out there. Yeah. Are

<v Speaker 5>I'll be out there for a couple of days next week,

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 5>and then i'd be out there again at the end

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 5>of the month. O, Mary.

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna use your nose to sniff around? Are you

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna shadow Vassay like Hartman?

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm not gonna shadow vass Come on, come, I'm

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 5>gonna try to get to one or two games while

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 5>we're out there. But yeah, it's fun. I know there's

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people heading out right now. There was

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 5>a big accident on the tent east, so they're slowing

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 5>things down a little bit. But that train of Dodger

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 5>fans is on its way to Camelback Ranch for the

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 5>opening weekend at the ranch there in Arizona, and.

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>It is a different vibe. It's a different way to

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>watch baseball. It's a different way to take in the Dodgers.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>If you're a big Dodger fan and you've never done

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>anything like that, we would recommend it because it is

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. And I guess that's pretty cool. It's pretty cool.

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 5>You have to get there early. I mean, don't just

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 5>go there for the game. If you've never experienced it,

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 5>check it out. Get there a couple hours before first pitch,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 5>because the minor league and the guys who aren't even

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 5>playing that day, and some of them who actually are

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 5>playing that day, we're out there doing drills in the

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 5>backfields and you can get pretty up close and personal

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 5>and see these guys working out and going through drills,

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 5>and you know who knows, they'll sign autographs for you.

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 5>It's a really really cool, up close experience at spring training.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, we do have this a follow up to a

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>story that we've been following. We talked about it with

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Don McClain. There's an Instagram post about it on well

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>that very site Instagram about the mc cronin situation about

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>kicking his own player out though he did foul out,

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and about what he said to the Michigan State guy.

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>We said, maybe not the greatest look, but if you

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 1>know anything about mc cronin, this isn't very different than

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>anything you've seen in the past. We have also discussed

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.959
<v Speaker 1>his gigantic buyout and so on and so forth. You

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>could check yesterday's podcast that. But we did say there

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was going to be media availability today. I don't know

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.719
<v Speaker 1>how many cameras were there? Tim? Did you monitor that?

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Go to Westwood did you like you used to with

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>your little padd and pen and your and your Fedora

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>with a press tag in it.

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>And my DAT recorder.

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 5>No, I was not out there, but I do know

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 5>there was more cameras than usual for a weekly Mick

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 5>Cronin powwow with the media before a game. But I

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 5>don't think it was as crowded as I thought it

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 5>was gonna be when it's all sent in.

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>So here is Mick Cronin on that fateful night at

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 1>East Lansing.

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 8>First of all, I want you guys to know something

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 8>I already apologized to Steve Okay. I thought that he

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 8>took the guy out like the kid at Providence took

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 8>the guy from Saint John's out.

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>That's the only reason.

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 8>I sent him to the locker room. I thought he

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 8>literally made a dirty play and tried to wipe the

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 8>guy out. Now I don't have the film. Once I

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 8>saw the film, I mean he still got an F one.

0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean Don mcclan did say, Don Claim did say

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're if you're playing soft all game, and that's

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>probably what this guy was doing. And you're down twenty

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>plus and now you're trying to act hard. That's what

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 1>pissed Mick cronin off, and I still believe that to

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>be true. But Mick thought that the foul from his perspective,

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>was worse than it really was. That's what I'm picking

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>up right now, not that Nick needs me to interpret,

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm just gonna back.

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 8>Up to be honest with you. I don't even know

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 8>if he deserved that when I watched it. You know,

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 8>coaches thought the same thing when I communicated with him,

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 8>But I thought he tried to wipe the guy out,

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 8>which to me, you know, that's a bad play, Like

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 8>you can't be down twenty five, you're getting your butt kicked.

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 8>Don't try to take somebody out, hurt somebody on the

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 8>other team, which is what I thought. Now I'm short,

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 8>I was blocked him on the other end. Obviously their reaction.

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 8>I thought he tried to crush this kid. I think

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 8>it was cool. So anyway, I apologize to Steve. You know,

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 8>you know, I'm trying to protect it, like I take

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 8>it really serious. Like our guys don't get texts, our guys.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 8>We're not taking guys out in the air. You know,

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 8>the brand is important to me, so but you know

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 8>I was wrong. I apologize to like that being said.

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 8>The brand's important to me, so I need to dial

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 8>back some of my humor bends. So I apologize. You know,

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 8>sometimes I'm too candid, like for example, talking about how

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.199
<v Speaker 8>bad our flight was after the NCAA tournament.

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I like his candidness, though, Petrols don't you.

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, we need it. If we don't have mc cronin

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>being candid, then we don't have mc cronin speaks as

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>a segment on the Petros and Money Show, And that's

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a great deal of content. And I mean every word

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of what I said yesterday. If this was a three

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>hour show, I might be willing to part with mc cronin.

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Not that it has anything to do with me. I'm

0:13:51.440 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>know Casey Wasserman in a lot of ways. Yeah, if

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I had a mustache, I'd be twisting with my fingers

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>right now. Yeah, not that I have any say I don't,

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not willing to part with Mick cronin while

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we have a four hour radio show on some days

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 1>of the week. Now, if it's a three hour show,

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>then we can discuss it. Because with that, we just

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>don't need to cover UCLA basketball because they're not on

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the station anymore. And yes, I'm Matt Petty. I don't

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>care about anything.

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's here for I'm lucky to coach here.

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 8>And like my advice, I've said this to guys like,

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 8>you know you can get older.

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>You stop. It was that like the Don Martino used

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>to say to Matt moment, like okay, you got a

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>reel them big an. You know it gets a little.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>You just got a real biting Okay, you know what.

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I recognize that, don't reason.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 8>I'm lucky to coach here, and like my advice, I've

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 8>said this to guys like, you know you can get older,

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 8>loose all your hair, and I have to have facial

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 8>air now because I don't want to look like mister clean.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 8>But you have to.

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>You have to realize that little forest humor. Hey, guys,

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm still that guy you like.

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, short reference, bald references.

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 2>He's still trying.

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 8>You have to realize, and I have to do a

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 8>better job of this that in this climate, you've got

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 8>to be careful with what you say.

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm not here.

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 8>I'm a good fit here because I know I'm not

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 8>bigger than the brand, and the brand matters here, the

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 8>school matters. The last thing I want to do is

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 8>bring negative publicity to our school, and sometimes because I don't.

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 8>It's not about me. I don't care what people think

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 8>about me. I need to do a better job knowing well,

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 8>I am the coach here and I need to make

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 8>sure I don't do anything to embarrass our school. So

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 8>for that, I apologize, because that I don't want apologize

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 8>to our people, school, students, you know, everybody in our community,

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 8>because it's important you at these jobs. You gotta raise money,

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 8>you got to be friends with donors. I mean, I

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 8>believe in all that stuff. So as I tell you,

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 8>like you know, I'm trying to protect our brand. I

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 8>don't want our guys taking some guy out ways in

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 8>the air down twenty five. That's bush league, not what happened.

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 8>But the same goes for me. I got to make

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 8>sure that I represent us in the right way. So

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 8>that being said, we got a problem. Illinois is really good.

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>So there's the self self deprecation card. He spoke for all.

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna play that card right down.

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 5>He spoke for about twenty minutes to the media did

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 5>not throw that card out there at He did not

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 5>address the postgame interaction with him.

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Not directly, but he was, you know, he was. He

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 1>was sort of referring, I'd probably do his behavior throughout

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the night a little self deprecation card. There's nothing wrong

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>with that. You know who's calling that Illinois game on

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Fox tomorrow, Tim Brando. I was just SI learned that

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 1>toe tapping Timmy Bee and our friend Jim Jackson are

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>calling that game at Polly tomorrow. And of course tim

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 1>unique ability to make it about himself has already instagram

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 1>posted out perhaps we can bring a smile to coach

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>Cronin's face tomorrow, No way and Polly Pavilion Live on fire.

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Oh, Timmy Brando.

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 5>Making Jimmy b I thought it was well said by

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 5>Mick though, you know, to say he's not bigger than

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 5>the brand and to understand that a lot of these

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 5>coaches have egos, petros, you know that, and for him

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 5>to realize he is never ever going to be bigger

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 5>than UCLA basketball. Uh, It's it says a lot about

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 5>Mick to understand where he fits in and to apologize.

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 5>Takes a big guy to sit there and apologize to

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 5>the fan base, the players and everybody for your actions.

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 1>You did and if he didn't, I don't think anything

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 1>was gonna happen to him. But the aftermath of what happened,

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>he looked at it and looked at the thing and

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 1>probably did that without provocation. I could be wrong, but

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I just can't imagine Martin Jarmond calling up Mick Cronin

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.199
<v Speaker 1>and saying, hey, you need to apologize, no right, And

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine Casey Wasserman.

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 5>Mikes a grown ass man. He doesn't need anybody to

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 5>tell him to apologize. He understands the moment and he

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:33.439
<v Speaker 5>was good at doing that.

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So that legacy has closed its door all while

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the tour has been on. What tour the world.

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Boom, the World Tour swep back.

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 5>Now, what happens I UCLA tomorrow going up against those

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, big blockheaded Europeans on Illinois, a top ten

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 5>team in the country by the way, on the Baux.

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>The balk and five.

0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 5>What happens if they go out and they knock off Illinois.

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's what Don McClean said yesterday, Like what happens

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 1>with the were people gonna say that? And I was

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>just like, well, I don't know, but probably nothing. I mean,

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>this story's gonna blow over once there's NBA games. It

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>was always I mean, you could listen to any any

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Josh Lewin interview after they lose and Mick tearing that

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:27.160
<v Speaker 1>guy apart. And he's not some dork podcaster in East Lansing, Michigan.

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>He's a play by an accomplished play by play guy

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>who travels with and for U. C.

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:33.680
<v Speaker 4>L A.

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>And Mick carves that guy up like a freaking Halloween pumpkin.

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 5>You think Josh is at the airport right now, double

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 5>Scotch cigarette in mouth, like, been there, done that before

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 5>that one.

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like being in you know when the

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.879
<v Speaker 1>guy next to you gets shot at Vietnam and you're like,

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:52.439
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I can't believe it wasn't me.

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Just like that.

0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 1>What I could have made it a Civil War reference, Yeah,

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>but the I went with Vietnam.

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.920
<v Speaker 5>I think UCLA rallies tomorrow. I think the fans show

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 5>up and there's gonna be a blue out. I think

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 5>Pauli's gonna be rocking, and I think they're gonna rally.

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Illinois is gonna bounce back from beating USC by forty

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to lose to UCLA, who's just locks back to back

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>game by twenty plus.

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Somehow, some way they get it done.

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 5>Petros Someway, I got believe in Mick. These guys are

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 5>gonna rally around that.

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Obviously. I'd like to see that. You know, when Mick loses,

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 1>all the all the freaking worms come out of the

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 1>ground like the rain, like vassa. Let's be a boy, Mick.

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's going on. You know, I gotta deal with all

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>that now.

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 5>If they do lose tomorrow, and they could happen very well,

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.359
<v Speaker 5>they lose by twenty some again, that post game is

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 5>gonna be him just grinning and kind of biting his

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 5>teeth and like, yeah, you know what, guys just fought

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 5>really hard.

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>But that's why I had the henificial hair, because I

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 1>look like mister clear to shut.

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't see what was happening.

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.880
<v Speaker 1>On guys, I can't believe it.

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good job, though.

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.879
<v Speaker 5>I plot him for stepping up today and taking ownership

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:04.400
<v Speaker 5>from it again.

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 1>He would have to break into a white, fat, white

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 1>girl's apartment and take a knife to his own throat

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and threaten everybody. For me to say that's it. I'm

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:16.760
<v Speaker 1>out on me grown it.

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.679
<v Speaker 5>I tried that analogy last night until that moment I

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 5>got the what are you talking about? And I had

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.280
<v Speaker 5>to explain Sharon More in Michigan and the head football coach.

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But the family didn't get it.

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>They didn't understand the analogy that.

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 1>No white were worried about what's going down in bah Rain.

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 1>That's right, all right, We'll be right back with the

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Tim Kates monologue, Shakespearean moment, a plea to the powers

<v Speaker 1>and interviews. They're all available free on the iHeart Radio

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>app iHeartRadio App. I'm looking at them on my computer

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.800
<v Speaker 1>screen right now. Maybe you should hit refresh.

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, don't accuse me of there would be no podcast

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 5>on the iHeartRadio app.

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Via PMS. They are there, buddy.

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, this has been promoted for some days now

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 1>because Tim Kates has been here all week putting in

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of work and making sure the show doesn't

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 1>miss a beat and properly posting that podcast that some

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>people can't seem to refresh and find one person. So

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>this is called what like your Kobe Bryant poem had

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of a buddy baseball here, I would drag one. No, no, no, no,

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 1>not that kind of baseball. Petros was spring training underway.

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 3>What is this called?

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Dear be baseball? This is your this is my literally,

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.639
<v Speaker 1>your plea to baseball for the twenty twenty sixth season.

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, plea to the big all right?

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't want to sit here and screw

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it up, okay, all right? And and and get you

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.920
<v Speaker 1>into a defensive Ronnie Fossio type of move.

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that as a run.

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 5>Here on the eve of tomorrow's first spring training game

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:58.159
<v Speaker 5>between the Dodgers and the Angels in Tempe, Arizona, the

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 5>national narrative is just all around the impending doom and

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 5>gloom of next offseason and a labor stoppage. I have

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:08.400
<v Speaker 5>a plea, a plea to the owners and baseballs of

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 5>Major League Baseball, do not do it. Major League Baseball

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 5>is finally back. It's finally taken back the regions of

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 5>popularity what it controlled for decades. The sport of baseball

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 5>has so much momentum right now, why would you kill it?

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Seventy one million fans for three consecutive seasons have gone

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 5>through the turnstiles, something we haven't seen in three decades.

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 5>It's a revival of the game of baseball. League revenues

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 5>have now surpassed twelve billion billion dollars annually. Franchise values

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 5>continue to climb, even the Sacramento as media rights have

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 5>gone through the roof. Now with NBC having Sunday Night

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:57.119
<v Speaker 5>Baseball in the game of the week. Baseball is not

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:03.119
<v Speaker 5>a shrinking enterprise. It's growing at growth that is fragile.

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:09.160
<v Speaker 5>Television ratings are climbing. Radio ratings are up. Streaming viewership

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 5>has reached record highs. Nearly twenty billion minutes were watched

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 5>last season. TikTok Instagram YouTube. Younger fans are coming to

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 5>the game of baseball, the very demographic baseball once accused

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 5>of losing. You've got them like a fish on a hook.

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 5>You've got them billions of views, billions. Baseball is no

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:39.919
<v Speaker 5>longer fighting for relevance. They have it, and the momentum

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 5>that you have built up is so important to keep owners.

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 5>You don't have franchises just based on valuations in the

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 5>hundreds of millions. We're in the billions now. You see

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:54.880
<v Speaker 5>media companies reinvest because they believe.

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:55.359
<v Speaker 1>In the product.

0:25:56.200 --> 0:26:01.119
<v Speaker 5>A shutdown will tear down everything that the owners and

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 5>players together have built up. You're earning in a system

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 5>generating record revenues right now. Salaries, bonuses, marketing opportunities, endorsement power,

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 5>all of it grows when the sport grows, and the

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:21.119
<v Speaker 5>sport is growing. You stop that and the spicket turns off.

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 5>As far as money, the ninety four strike not just

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 5>canceled the World Series and the season, it fractured a

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 5>generation of fans that people like me, Petros, This generation

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 5>and our kids are trying to build back up. You

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 5>can't afford to fracture this again.

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest.

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, Fletchle likes baseball cards. Fans don't want to hear

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 5>about billionaires and millionaires fighting over our money and how

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:56.120
<v Speaker 5>they spend it or they invest it. They just want

0:26:56.119 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 5>a product to watch. Every labor dispute centers on fair compensation,

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:05.160
<v Speaker 5>competitive balance, service time, luxury tax threshold, blah blah blah

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:09.119
<v Speaker 5>blah blah, revenues sharing great. These are all solvable problems.

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 5>They require transparency though between both sides. They require financial clarity,

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 5>good faith negotiations. There are solutions of competitive balance, tax

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:22.959
<v Speaker 5>with escalators and floor protections. Fans don't want to hear

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 5>about this stuff. Though seventy one million people have filled

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:32.640
<v Speaker 5>your bullparks and your wallets the last three years. There's

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 5>no line on a spreadsheet that could just be erased.

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 5>There's a reason the fans buy the tickets, They watch

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 5>and listen to your broadcast, and they love baseball. Again,

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Entertain them, don't turn them away. It's not just about money.

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Your stewards to the game of baseball. If you protect

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 5>the game revenues will continue to climb, Franchise values will

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 5>continue to skyrocket, Salaries for you players will continue to grow,

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 5>and ticket prices for us will continue to go up.

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 2>But we'll deal with it.

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.919
<v Speaker 5>If you halt this and you stop it and we

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:15.120
<v Speaker 5>have no baseball in twenty twenty seven, you're gonna lose

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 5>a generation again and you may not get them back.

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:24.680
<v Speaker 5>Your partners in the same investment, act like it. It's

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 5>our money that you're getting and pocketing. Divvy it up,

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 5>figure it out, protect the game, keep the momentum going,

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:37.360
<v Speaker 5>and keep the games on the field after twenty twenty six.

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 5>Do not let a labor stoppage to find this era

0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 5>that should instead be remembered for baseball's renaissance in the

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenties.

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, wow.

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a very impactful speech.

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 5>Was that to the owners, To both the owners and

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 5>the players, petros, because they're equally in this together. Try

0:28:58.160 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 5>to figure it out.

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 1>And all of the those things are accurate. Baseball has

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 1>surged past the NBA locally and nationally and in a

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of places, we should say, and especially locally here

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles. I believe the Dodgers have surged past

0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers, even though now the primary owner of the Dodgers,

0:29:17.680 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the guy that controls the Guggenheim Group, Mark Walter, owns

0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers, so who knows what the future holds there.

0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 1>But baseball has their moment back, yep. And it took

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a long time. But I remember after the strike was

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>what seasons ninety four? Yeah, and then ninety eight was

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Mark McGuire and Sosa steroids yep, bringing baseball back, and

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 1>then we had the Barry Bonds era and so on

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and so forth. But the NBA, certainly in this town,

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>surpassed baseball at that point, and the Dodgers weren't as relevant,

0:29:56.800 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>There's no doubt about that. And they I don't know

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>how much momentum they lose though. If they lose like

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty games or something like we had in the past, right.

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 5>That's not the end of the world. Something long will

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 5>hurt the game. Something that's short and can be remedying.

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 5>I think we can get over it. But let's keep

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 5>in mind New York, LA, Chicago, the big markets are thriving,

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 5>and I get at Pittsburgh, the smaller markets Minneapolis where

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 5>they don't have the TV money and revenue from all

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 5>the advertising.

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 2>It's different.

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 5>I get it, you're at a different level, but you

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 5>do get an influx of money based on the luxury tax.

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 5>You do get money in your pocket and a check

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 5>written to you every single year from the other owners

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 5>to elevate your product.

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Start doing it, figure it out.

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 5>The fans don't need to be the ones to try

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 5>to figure those Let's have grown people in the room,

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 5>the owners and the players Association figure this out for

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 5>the betterment of the game.

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, I certainly hope they're able to do.

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 5>That, acause I'm not going through a season, Petros with

0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 5>this looming. I mean, one hundred and sixty two games

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 5>over the next six and a half months and then

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:01.160
<v Speaker 5>a postseason, and every day we're gonna have to hear

0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 5>about this. It's gonna get nauseating, and you're gonna tick

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 5>off the fans. You're gonna piss them off every day

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:09.080
<v Speaker 5>hearing about doom and gloom on what lies ahead.

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It is already kind of nauseating, isn't it.

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not even March.

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 1>We haven't even started the spring training games yet, right,

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's already a big topic. And maybe it's because

0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the games haven't started.

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's because everybody's pointing the finger at LA. Everybody

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:26.479
<v Speaker 5>wants to point the finger the Dodgers, saying you are

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 5>the ones that are causing this. You are gonna be

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 5>the evil ones that cause the demise of baseball. No, no, no, no,

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 5>they're the ones keeping it afloat, folks.

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 1>They are the most popular team in baseball. But it

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>is interesting. I don't understand things very well, and you're

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:44.240
<v Speaker 1>right about one thing, which is I don't want to

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>hear about escalators and revenue sharing with the players and

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:52.360
<v Speaker 1>salary caps. I don't want I don't want to have

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to discuss those things. I don't want to have to

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>bring on guests to do ten minutes on financial talk.

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>We have enough of that in our own lives. Trying

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to keep ourselves afloat. It's not what the fans want,

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not what anyone wants. It's not what we want

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to cover. I want vass A trying to do pushups

0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>while Max Munsey stands there with his gut hanging out.

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 1>That's the story that I want to cover. Of course,

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>we all want to see athletes perform and everybody do

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 1>what they're supposed to do. And you're right, Tim, From

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the perspective of a guy like you, baseball is your passion.

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 1>You work in baseball.

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a livelihood. I don't want to see them

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:33.640
<v Speaker 2>on striker all.

0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, you don't want to see that, and

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to talk about it either. It is

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny. We had the whole college football season

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and I am so stupid that I can't relate to

0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>anything other than through the lens of college football, which

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.440
<v Speaker 1>is why I'm bringing this up now. But we had

0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the whole college football season go by, and we never

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>really got into talking about the players and the games

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 1>because James Franklin got fired so early. The conversation was

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:09.040
<v Speaker 1>about coaches leaving and coaches getting bought out, and who's

0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 1>going to get the Penn State job and all these

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 1>huge jobs that kept opening up week in and week

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>out with major firings really early in the season, including UCLA.

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:23.920
<v Speaker 1>As college football went on, and we never really got

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to celebrate. The whole reason we're here is because of

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:31.239
<v Speaker 1>the competition on the field. And it happened, and it

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was a great year for Indiana, and Indiana was a

0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:36.200
<v Speaker 1>great story and it ended up being a feel good

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 1>story in Ferdie Mendoza, much like the Dodgers are keeping

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 1>everything afloat. You know, Indiana kind of did that, So

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if we have that kind of year in

0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles. But you're right, it is a terrible distraction

0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 1>for a time where baseball should be celebrating themselves for

0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:57.200
<v Speaker 1>finally digging themselves out of a hole and getting back

0:33:57.240 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>to second place in America.

0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:02.280
<v Speaker 5>The only economics that people want to talk about in baseball,

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 5>if you're going to a stadium, or cost of parking,

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:06.840
<v Speaker 5>cost of a ticket, in the cost of food, that's

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 5>all they care about. They don't want to know how

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:10.880
<v Speaker 5>much you're making, how much you're putting in your pocket.

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 5>Owners and Players Association, they don't care.

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 1>It did take us a while to find out how

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 1>much that Tomahawk steak costs at Dodger Stadium during the playoffs,

0:34:22.480 --> 0:34:24.719
<v Speaker 1>the one that was in the outfield. It was worth

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 1>every penny though it was like three hundred and sixty.

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>It did take us a while though, to figure that out.

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 1>That was not it. That was a real detective work

0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:36.319
<v Speaker 1>at a place where we sort of work. So there

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>is the deer Baseball by Tim Kaite seize the moment, baseball.

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:44.279

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.239
<v Speaker 1>excited as the week goes on, and it was all

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 1>capped off with his baseball soliloquy today you got him.

<v Speaker 1>I was gonna go to Don Kucko's in Burbank tonight,

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.600
<v Speaker 1>but I'm afraid I'll hear Kate say, Hey, Carlos, anyone

0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>that hurt my baseball speech today? Oh?

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:33.400

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Was I just talking to a bot that whole last segment?

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you were Petrose and hate that.

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Pee, what's the point of this Tim Kate's soliloquy?

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:13.399
<v Speaker 1>The owners aren't listening to this, lol? Yes they are.

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I like to think they are.

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't know, dude, our show is widely listened to

0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:21.520
<v Speaker 1>by many very rich and powerful people.

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:23.480
<v Speaker 5>I like to think Derek Hall, the president and of

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 5>the Arizona Diambacks's podcasting, They're like, you know what, Kats

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:29.239
<v Speaker 5>is right, Let's just put all this stuff behind us.

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:30.520
<v Speaker 5>Let's just come together.

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:34.280
<v Speaker 1>We are the stewards of this sport. What were we thinking?

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>How could we let this unrest consume us?

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I could totally see that Timothy's pledge was a nuanced take.

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:48.240
<v Speaker 1>It was not a simpleton's take. And kudos to Kate's

0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:52.439
<v Speaker 1>that was one million percent true. I wish those fat

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>cat owners could hear that, and the players the player,

0:37:57.920 --> 0:37:59.239
<v Speaker 1>but that's not what the tech said.

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh anything, he goes on both sides.

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:05.920
<v Speaker 1>First time, I've agreed with Kate's on much of anything.

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.839
<v Speaker 1>But I'm guessing the owners haven't had anything to do

0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>with the growth of MLB. They're idiots. Half of MLB's

0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>growth is the incompetence of the NBA. Bing That's that Now,

0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that is a good That is a hot text.

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Also love it.

0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Stop the show immediately and present the twenty twenty six

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Golden Michael Ward to Tim Kate's, Oh that one, I

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that in the winter is no, No, it's just

0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:47.880
<v Speaker 1>a text. My dad gave it to me yesterday anyway

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.719
<v Speaker 1>at the billionaires meetings. What I'm just saying, my dad

0:38:52.719 --> 0:38:56.280
<v Speaker 1>texts me every day like this is great? Who thinks dad?

0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:00.680
<v Speaker 1>At the billionaires meetings. NFL owners laugh at the MLB

0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 1>owners because they haven't crushed the union like they have.

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:06.320
<v Speaker 1>That is the truth.

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 2>That is no guaranteed contracts for you guys.

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:18.280
<v Speaker 1>They have crushed crushed the NFL union because football players.

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Even though baseball players are galactically stupid, football players are

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:26.840
<v Speaker 1>even dumber when you dangle half pads and helmets and

0:39:27.320 --> 0:39:31.399
<v Speaker 1>no pads practices. They'll play for free if they don't

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 1>have to practice in full pads. Hey p Tel Kate's

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:41.319
<v Speaker 1>and I totally agree on these annoying people taking up

0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 1>curling like it's the first time it's in the Olympics.

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Lame right, But.

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Also let them know I found a new great food

0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>spot just opened, Chronic Taco Sir. I think there's still

0:39:58.520 --> 0:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a Chronic Tacos in Glenn.

0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 5>The one in Bourbane closed down, couldn't survive couldn't survive

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 5>the cuckos one hundred yards away.

0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Tim Kats, Dear Baseball, more like dear God, Dear God.

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:17.239
<v Speaker 1>I hope you got the letter bus No no, no, no, no.

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:23.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what we ever got into it.

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 1>But okay, Oh, Isabelle since five clapping emojis?

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Is the wow man freaked out? Tell Tim? I agree

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 1>with him?

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Well you did also tell me? Is he with the text?

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you, Tim? So you did tell me?

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Okay? Is Tim going to the Unwritten Law show

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 1>tonight in Anaheim? Didn't you know that Unwritten Law was playing?

0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I did not know they were playing tonight. I'm not going. No,

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 2>it's too farm a drive.

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>But don't you want to go strut like John Travolta

0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:01.600
<v Speaker 1>at the end of staying alive after your baseball ball.

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:03.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm too old for that to go out to a

0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:05.520
<v Speaker 5>show and drive to Anaheim and get back at eleven

0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:06.720
<v Speaker 5>o'clock midnight and away.

0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well there's your reaction to Tim Kits Dear Baseball.

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:15.120
<v Speaker 5>It went better than I thought. I thought it would

0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:17.759
<v Speaker 5>just be all hatred from the textos. And I'm sure

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:21.080
<v Speaker 5>you have filtered at Petros and I appreciate that well.

0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I would say that it was. There was a reaction,

0:41:25.120 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and some people really loved it and some people did not.

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you know what got people thinking, that's all that matters, right.

0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 1>And this one says we all should give Tim credit

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:41.280
<v Speaker 1>for overcoming his fear of eating fish.

0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 2>This is true.

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:45.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm not a big fish guy, though in my old age,

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm starting to get into fish tacos.

0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 1>So there's the chronic tacos over here, near to the

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Total Wine on Hawthorne Boulevard and Torrance.

0:41:54.120 --> 0:41:56.320
<v Speaker 2>When you say over here, I don't know where you're pointing.

0:41:57.760 --> 0:42:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd beat at the South Bank, okay, where I live.

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:04.120
<v Speaker 5>You said over here, and I'm looking out the window,

0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:05.359
<v Speaker 5>like where over here?

0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:12.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the latest on Dim Kates's Dear Baseball, And do

0:42:12.360 --> 0:42:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what Dave's going to be on in the

0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>next hour, And we'll ask him what he thinks. Maybe

0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:18.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll play him some clips.

0:42:18.840 --> 0:42:20.600
<v Speaker 2>This could go either way with Dave, depending on how

0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 2>he's feeling.

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll see. I mean, he's probably hadn't been out there

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.000
<v Speaker 1>that long. He's probably not that bad of a mode.

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:32.799
<v Speaker 1>We'll do your word number song of the day coming

0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:33.200
<v Speaker 1>up there
