We have a 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: poll question. Are we staying with the poll question? Mcclubn okay? 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: I think we should switch it up. What's behind all 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: the injuries in the NBA sixty one? Just bad luck? Yeah? 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: I think so. I think that there have been players 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: who have been out of show ape during the season, 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: came into the season out of shape. But I think 22 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: you've just seen a fluke of bad luck here. I 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: just think it's a coincidence. Okay, here's a question. If 24 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: you were the owner or manager of the team that 25 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: had Choeo Tani, would you let him pitch? You know, 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: he had the arms surgery, the elbow surgery. That's what 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: makes me nervous. I have one of the great power 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: hitters in the game. I want to make sure I 29 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: have him in the lineup. As much as I love 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: the duality there that he can go on the mound 31 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: and he can be our best pitcher, but I still 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: want to make sure he's in the lineup if anything 33 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: happens to that arm again. Now I've taken him out 34 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: of the lineup. That's where. Now if you say, in 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: today's specialized world of hey, you just go five innings 36 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: and then you have middle relief come in and then 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: ever closer, if you say he's always going to be 38 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: on a pitch count like five innings, that's it. Now. 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: If you did that, then I'd go, Okay, I'd be 40 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: comfortable with that. But I'm I get a little concern 41 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: because you're throwing one hundred miles an hour it's not 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: like you're a crafty right hander here. You're throwing hard 43 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: and that makes me nervous. I love the fact that 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: you know there's a curiosity there. He might be the 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: number one draw in baseball right now, you know him 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: or Tatis, they might be the Hey, I'll watch that game. 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: I'll go out and see that game. And he's getting 48 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: a little bit of extra attention this week because he's 49 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: playing in New York against the Yankees. Hit two home 50 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: runs last night, so he has twenty eight. His ZRA 51 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: is two point five eight in eleven starts as well. 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: And my suggestion is, you know he's going to make 53 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: the starting lineup for the American League team. I want 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: him to get an inning of pitching. I think that 55 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: that would be you know that. That's what's interesting about this, 56 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: like that curiosity. He's going to be out there pitching 57 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: and he's going to be able to bat. We've never 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: seen that before. I don't think that's ever happened in 59 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: baseball history. Has it that you've had a pitcher? Now, 60 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: do you have to get a special exemption? I think 61 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: there's some red tape that you have to go through 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: for Shohei Otani, to be able to be a pitcher 63 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: and a hitter, and you're also are you going to 64 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: take up two roster spots there? Yeah McLeman, Yeah, I 65 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: think the pictures are chosen by managers, right. And I 66 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: saw that he doesn't have the stats to make it 67 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: as a pitcher, so you'd have to make an acception 68 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: for that because he only at eleventh start. But he's 69 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: on the field already, right, So I don't so I 70 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: can have the pitcher he can. He can, I could 71 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: still put him in the lineup and he's not taken 72 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: away a roster spot because you're going to have your pictures. 73 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: And let's say I have him have want it bat 74 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: and he gets to pitcheon in him just to have 75 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: that and that curiosity. People will tune in to see 76 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: that he's going to be in the Home Run Derby 77 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: this year, and that could be the story of the 78 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: All Star break. I don't want him in the Home 79 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: run Derby. I don't like when star players are in 80 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: the Home run Derby because I do think it affects 81 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: your swing. But I can't wait to listen to Home 82 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: Run Derby because if I'm televising this, I want that 83 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: ambiance sound I want to hear that ball hit the 84 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: bat because it sounds different with him. The concern with 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: Otani is the same as we have with Mike Trout 86 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: as teammate. The Angels have to win, and last night 87 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: they lost to the Yankees. Their three games below five 88 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: hundred and even the best stats don't mean much if 89 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: you don't reach the postseason, and that will be the 90 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: bummer about all of this. We might see a unbelievable 91 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: season by Shohey Otani, but we won't see him in 92 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: the fall, and Mike Trout is out. Mike Trout has 93 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: played in three postseason games in his entire career. In 94 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: those came I think seven years ago. Yeah, Paul. The 95 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: tough thing with Otani is a pitcher. He's got eleven 96 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: starts this year. He's three and one. He doesn't really 97 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: go deep that often, it's about sixty innings, but his 98 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: ERA is two point five eight. He's too good of 99 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: a pitcher to move on from as if he stunk 100 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: as a pitcher, that'd be fantastic for the Angels then 101 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: they can move on from it. But he's like above average. 102 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: He's not, you know, as good as a hitter. Could 103 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: you pick him a middle reliever. Then you use him 104 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: as you want, and you keep those innings down to 105 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: always under one hundred innings a year less thing than 106 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: the chance for us another surgery. I just worry though, 107 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: that you're throwing one hundred miles an hour. It's just different. 108 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: You're not you know, it's not ninety two miles an hour. 109 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: And I just can't lose him again like they did 110 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: with the Tommy John surgery. Does baseball have a rule? Well, 111 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: here's the rules. Also, he's going to start a DH. 112 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: They'd forfeit the DH. If Otani started the game as 113 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: a pitcher and hits for himself. So that's one reason 114 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: that they might not do it because it's the DH rule. Okay, 115 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: but this writer notes the MLB should just could easily 116 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: waive that rule since it's a meaningless exhibition. Well, they 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: keep waiving other rules. This is just the All Star game. 118 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: This is supposed to be entertainment. I got a guy 119 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: on second base who starts the inning, and he didn't 120 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: do anything to get there. Doubleheaders or seven innings, what 121 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: the hell? Come on? Baseball said, a big deal? What 122 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: the hell? Uh? You know, we got the DH here, 123 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: and you know if he's a DH then uh you know, no, no, no, no, 124 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: that's not how it works. It's an exhibition game for 125 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: us the fans, and I would like to see Shohyotani 126 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: pitch it inning. Yes, Nicola, I was thinking about something yesterday. 127 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: Why don't they expand the playoffs to sixteen teams like 128 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: they did during the pandemic. That way we get Otani 129 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: in the post Are you sure we would get him 130 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: into the posting. It's like Zaid in the NBA. We 131 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: just let the Angels in the postseason. Yeah, like the 132 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: NBA tried to do. Yeah, Like, how do we get 133 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: Zion in the postseason? Um? Fourteen teams qualify and they 134 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: still didn't get in. That's where baseball's headed. Like, uh, 135 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, let's just make something up. The Angels 136 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: are in the postseason? Why because we said so? You know, 137 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: they're just they're always going to be in the shadows, 138 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: the Angels, And you know it'd help if you win. 139 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: You go back to the mic Socia days. You know, 140 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: you win the World Series. And I love watching that team. 141 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: I know most people probably didn't. I love that they 142 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: you know, they hit and run, take an extra base. Uh, 143 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, they just did little things to win the 144 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: World Series back then. Yeah, McLean, I think of him 145 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: as a team that knocked out Bonds. No, I don't think. Ah, 146 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: that should have been for history's sake, Bonds. We went 147 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: to the World Series. That was I think our first 148 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: World Series together and that was two thousand and two. 149 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: That's when Bonds hit a home run off Troy Percival 150 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: that went up into the upper deck into the concession stand. 151 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: Imagine you go to the concession stand and you're getting 152 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: a beer and fries, and all of a sudden, here's 153 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: a baseball comes rolling your way. I got beer, fries 154 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: in a baseball and it's from Barry Bonds. All right, 155 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: we'll get to phone calls coming up. Roger Bennett will 156 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: join us. The Men and Blazer's England dropped Germany yesterday. Oh, 157 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: front row all excited about this. Yeah, Suns Clippers Game 158 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: six and Canadians at the Lightning. That'll be game two 159 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: coming up tonight. If we hear anything with what's going 160 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: on with Jannis, we'll let you know. It's a hyper 161 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: extended knee right now, and I don't want to read 162 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: into any of this. You can't speculate on an injury. 163 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: It's best not to. We're taught that during the Olympics. 164 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: At NBA see, we were told do not speculate on 165 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: an injury because chances are you're gonna look bad. And 166 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to speculate on this. They say, oh, 167 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: he was walking okay with you know, a little assistance 168 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: after the injury. I don't know. I mean, I've had 169 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: so many knee surgeries that I had. I remember jogging 170 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: in Central Park and I came around a turn and 171 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: I said to the person I'm running with, I said, 172 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: I just I just did something my knee. I'm gonna 173 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: need surgery. And he goes, how do you know that. 174 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: I go, no, I'm gonna know that. I know that. 175 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: Walked around the whole day and I said, you got 176 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: to take me to hospital. He goes, are you serious? 177 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: Went in there and they said, you got you got 178 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: a ligament damage. You just know you could still go 179 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: because there's adrenaline. And do I think he was on 180 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: adrenaline last night? Yes, I do. Came down to the bench, 181 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean he can play. It's one thing 182 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: to be able to walk, another thing. Can you cut? 183 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: Can you jump, and that's where trying to speculate even 184 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: Trey Young, Do I think he's going to play? Yes? 185 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: I do, But do I know that? No, with that 186 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: kind of injury, you know, an ankle injury, and that's 187 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: the kind of injury. It's like him on repeat. Now, 188 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: it's going to stay with you during this postseason. It's 189 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: just like Lebron's injury was going to stay with him, 190 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: James Harden's hamstring injury was going to stay with him, 191 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis's injury was going to stay with him. The 192 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: groin injury, it was just a matter of time, not if, 193 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: but when. Trey Young will probably still have that sensitivity 194 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: with that ankle, and if the Greek Freak comes back 195 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: in this series, you'll probably have at least that thought 196 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: in his mind that this is going to be there. 197 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: There's a certain amount of pain. If you look at 198 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: Joe Lmbid, he played with a certain amount of pain. 199 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: To how much I don't know, but he's gonna need 200 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: knee surgery, but he knew that if you have some 201 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: ligament damage. He was able to play as well as 202 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: we would expect. No, but he was still able to play. 203 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: Can the Greek Freak. Give Milwaukee that and if not, 204 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: now it's a battle of backups, it's a battle of bench, 205 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: it's a battle of this starting lineup makeshifts starting lineup, 206 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: and we saw it. Lant. Here's the big problem I 207 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: had last night, and it was well before Greek Freak 208 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: got injured. Milwaukee was they were sleepwalking. They were sleepwalking. 209 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: They did not go in with a sense of urgency. Hey, no, 210 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: Trey Young, no problem. And then all of a sudden 211 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: the Hawks were up and they weren't going away. Lou 212 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: Williams looked awesome. The bench, you know, the depth guys 213 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: played well, played big, but they played with a sense 214 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: of desperation. And sometimes that team like the Clippers Phoenix, 215 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: you better not screw this up in game six because 216 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: do you give this Clipper team even more Ammo more confidence? 217 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: The Suns can't sleep walk here in this game. You 218 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: have to have a sense of urgency. You don't want 219 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: to go game seven, and even if it's going to 220 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: be game seven in your place, just you know, you 221 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: don't want to flirt with that as you're asking for trouble. 222 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: At the end of last hour, we of course had 223 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: a question that every show is talking about today, and 224 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: that is the number of home runs. What's the record 225 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: home runs hit by a leadoff batter? Did we find 226 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: out who that is? Yeah, it's our friends at sports 227 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: Radar Scent. George Springer and Alfonso Soriona both had thirty nine. Okay, 228 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: So Brady Anderson didn't hit fifty as a leadoff hitter. No, 229 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: he moved around in the line. Okay, he had thirty five. 230 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: It was one of the highest ever. Okay, So Springer 231 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen had thirty nine, and Alfonso Soriano in 232 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Some other names on here, by 233 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: the way, said Lindor hit thirty seven in twenty eighteen, 234 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Charlie Blackman hit thirty seven, and two seventeen, h Anderson 235 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: had thirty five, and Barry Bonds back in nineteen seventy 236 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: three hit thirty five. Oh that's right, I had no idea. Yeah, 237 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: that's when he was like a whippet like he was 238 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: that he was unbelievable back then. Was he fast too? Yeah? Yeah? 239 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: How come he didn't become like a super starry Well, 240 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: at least I don't think of him as now he did. 241 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: He was, he was a Hall of Famer. Yeah, I mean, 242 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: we're not in the old Barry Bonds. I'm talking about it. 243 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: This is Barry Bobby Bonds. Oh they say nineteen seventy three. Yeah, 244 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: that's Bobby Bonds. Oh they made the mistake. It says 245 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: Barry Bonds on here. So in seventy three Bobby Bonds 246 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: had thirty five. Does that sound right? Yeah, Bobby Bonds 247 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: was part of an unbelievable lineup with the Giants. You know, 248 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: if you go back and May's and McCovey, cepeda um, 249 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: I think they were all there at the same time. 250 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: But that was that was That was a great line 251 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: of powerful line up there. Bonds played right field, Willie 252 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: Mays played center field, and you had McCovey. I don't 253 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: know if Sapata was still there. I'm going to guess 254 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: he was, and if McCovey was playing first. But they 255 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: had a formidable team and pretty good pitching staff as well. 256 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's see, we'll take a break here, we'll 257 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: get phone calls.

I ride with Team America. Now you know. 307 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: It took me writing a book about how much I 308 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: love America. For England to actually throw off the shackles 309 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: of self loathing, self sabotage, and just fifty five years 310 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: of crapping their pants in massive games against Germany, I 311 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: feel a bit like Junah and the Whale. However, I 312 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: am genuinely happy for that nation. They have suffered in 313 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: lockdown and to watch large men take off their shirts, 314 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: just let it all hang out and soak themselves in beer. 315 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: My god, they deserve it. But if I had a 316 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: camera on you yesterday watching England beat Germany, what would 317 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: I have seen a large man with his shirt off? 318 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I do, I won't be clear when the 319 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: United States play England as they do in the Women's 320 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: World Cup, where our women destroy the English and Alex 321 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: Morgan knocks her head back and mind's drinking tea. I 322 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: am like, yes, in the face, take that, Piers Morgan, 323 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: you bastard. So that is where my allegiances are. But yeah, 324 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: my family are all there. I know the joy that 325 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: that's bringing them. I do know. When you had an 326 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: empire and you no longer have an empire, that leads 327 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: an incredible vacuum. In that vacuum there's been dreams, shattered dreams, hopelessness, 328 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: self loathing. It's a little bit like the Red Sox 329 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, dreaming over and over against Sisyphus, 330 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: pushing the bulled up the hill, only to have the 331 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: Yankees knocking back down. What we saw yesterday was the 332 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: English breaking through like the Red Sox, but probably unlike 333 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: the Red Sox, the English will now crap the bed 334 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: against Ukraine and the next round and find a completely 335 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: different way to torture the nation. But it is it's 336 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: a lovely moment. And if you are pro happiness, which 337 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: I like to think I am, if you're pro joy, 338 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: and if you are of a belief A lot of 339 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: people think sports about winning and their team. If they win, 340 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: a better people and if the team lose and the 341 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: losers are worse people. I don't believe that. I do 342 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: believe sports is human theater, and I believe that it 343 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: allows us to make incredible memories that sustain us in 344 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: time of light and in time of darkness. And so 345 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm so happy for all of these English fans that 346 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: they will they will, they will remember this day, this 347 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: yesterday's joys. The Germans such a demon in their minds. 348 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: They slayed the dragon, they caught the white whale, and 349 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: I'm genuinely to be candid down, I'm so happy for them. 350 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: When we acquired you, what did we give up? And like, 351 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: was this just we just acquired you your rights from Liverpool. 352 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: I was a player to be named later in the 353 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: in the Revolutionary Truth. It was just some scrub who 354 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: could give a couple of innings, um in in in 355 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: pretty light relief. Um what did you gain by by 356 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: adding me? I mean, I think that And this is 357 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: where I wrote the book. And we tried to give 358 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: you Madonna, we tried to give you Courtney Love, Gwyneth Paltrow, 359 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: We've tried to give you some people. You've got to 360 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: keep your voice down, because Madonna listens to the show. 361 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: She actually does think she's English at this point in 362 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: her life. In her biography, it's funny her accent change 363 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: immediately my accent. I love America. I know that would 364 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: sound very America, but I love America like you know 365 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: Kenny Powers loves America. And the accidents of one thing 366 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: that's not I kin't even I know on this show 367 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: you like make Christian politics speak English and make Rebecca 368 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: Love speak America. Can't do any of that, like because 369 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: I can say like hooray for Hollywood and I can't 370 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: say anything. How is it that Madonna goes to England 371 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,239 Speaker 1: and then she acquires an accent in two hours. Well 372 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: I can tell you how that works because English managers. 373 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: English football managers famously Steve McLaren, who is a character 374 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: like a meme, a human meme on the manager. An 375 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: English guy went to manage in Holland, the Netherlands for 376 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: a club team and like, within two press conferences, was like, um, yes, 377 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: it's a good game he played today. There's another guy, 378 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: Joey Bartney's from near me Liverpool. He went to play 379 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: in France and he's like again, second press conference, He's like, yeah, 380 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: I think he was. You know, the ween is importand 381 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: and what I've learned, it's hilarious. It is hilars to 382 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: watch and it's oh my god. I mean Western McKinney 383 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: is an amazing young guy. Plays for Juventus, a powerhouse 384 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: in Italy out of Dallas, Texas. And like his third game, 385 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: I think he missed a chance and he runs off 386 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: the goal and he's like to the cameras. I think 387 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: that the speech because I have actually I've wondered why 388 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: do I not have an American accent. I think it's 389 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: because if you have a musical ear, then and I 390 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: assume Madonna probably arguably may or may not have a 391 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: musical here, but I'm assuming she does, you immediately change 392 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: and adapt to the voice around you. I have no musically. 393 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: I've been trying to learn the banjo for about for 394 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: about the last hundred and ten years, going nowhere with that, 395 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: And it's because I don't have a musical ear. And 396 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: that's why I still sound like this. But you asked 397 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: me to become American. That's why I wrote the book. 398 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: Is to have stood in in a courtroom in Manhattan 399 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: with one hundred and sixty one fellow New Americans being 400 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: sworn in with the oath of allegiance, and you know, 401 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: America in times of wonder, American times of challenge. I 402 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: will say, I look left and right to be in 403 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: that courtroom and to look at my fellow new Americans. 404 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: You know I'd escaped. You know a couple of football 405 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: matches where the violence went dodgies and chip shop beatings 406 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: late at night when the pub shut in England. These 407 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: people have escaped civil war, unrest, famine. I mean just 408 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: the stories were incredibly humanly touching, and the one thing 409 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: that joined all of us in that room was the 410 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: power of the idea of America. So I think when 411 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: you have human beings like me, you are adding individuals 412 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: who've dreamed about America, who've drawn strength from America in 413 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: dark times, the idea of America, courage, tenacity, possibility, and 414 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: ultimately that's what you add by adding me another ball 415 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: man who thinks he can broadcast that loves America in 416 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: the face. The memoirs Reborn in the USA and Englishman's 417 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: Love Letter to has Chosen Home. We're talking to Roger Bennett, 418 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: the broadcaster, podcaster, filmmaker men In Blazer's co host your 419 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: first introduction to American sports was what or who? Chicago 420 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: Bears nineteen eighty three, just starting to throw off the shackles. 421 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: The NFL was broadcast for the first time in a 422 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: niche channel in England for an hour every week fourteen 423 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: games in those every weekend in those days, and they 424 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: crushed all fourteen games down to a highlight reel of 425 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: one hour. I've said a couple of times it's it 426 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: was all put to Bonnie Tyler's holding out for a hero. 427 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: It was like Tony Dorsets sweeping left and I'm dumb 428 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: that I'm dumbed. I'm dumb, dumb, very dramatic. Remember, English 429 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: football in those days was played by angry men who 430 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: wanted to kick anything on the muddy pitchers, be at 431 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: the ball or their opponent, and then go off to 432 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: the pub and have a cigarette, a pie and a pint. 433 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: So like to see Billy white Shoes. Johnson return a 434 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: kickoff for eighty three yards, but he only did it 435 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: so that when he got there he could just unleash 436 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: the funky chicken Like thirteen year old me was like, 437 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: holy crap, Joy, wisdom, wonder you know? To see New 438 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints fans under Bum Phillips. First of all, I 439 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: was like, my god, there's a man called Bump. And 440 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: then they were hoopless. They were like, oh and fourteen 441 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: and again. In England, if your team was losing that much, 442 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: you would go to the games just to fight your 443 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: opponents fans and taste your own blood in your mouth. 444 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: But the New Orleans Saints fans, they were like, we 445 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: love this, We're the New Orleans eighths. And they pulled 446 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: on paper bags over their heads and just had a 447 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: great time. And I was like, my Lord, trying to 448 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: find joy even in defeat. That is that is a 449 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: that's a wonderful way to live a life. But the 450 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, I always My family left Europe in the 451 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: early nineteen hundred sinking they were headed to Chicago. So 452 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: my family always in dark times, and there were many 453 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: of them in Liverpool in the nineteen eighties, like we 454 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: should have lived there, we should have lived there. So 455 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: to watch this Bears team, Walter Payton, Jim McMahon, William 456 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: Refrigerator Perry, throw off the shackles of defeat, self loathing 457 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: and just a pathetic franchise and say no, we swagger, 458 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: we super Bowl shuffle, We dominate, and we trash talk 459 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: on our way to victory. Thirteen year old me was like, 460 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: you don't have to be who you are. You are 461 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: not trapped by history. You can redefine yourself. And it 462 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: was thrilling on a sporting level, and it taught me 463 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: life lessons on a personal level. Then, But do you 464 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: have friends growing up who look at you and say like, 465 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: what are you doing? Like you're a trader? You'd left 466 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: us behind? Like did you get like feedback, blowback by 467 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: becoming an American citizen? I shared this dream with another 468 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: friend of mine in Liverpool. We would because the games 469 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: were on the NFL Games and we knew they were 470 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: being played a week on television. They were a week 471 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 1: old and there was no internet, so me and my 472 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: friend Jamie we would from his house, not mine, because 473 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: my dad would have killed me. We used to phone 474 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: up random three one two Chicago numbers during the Bears 475 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: games and people with a hell out and we'd be like, hey, 476 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: how are the Bears doing? And they'd be like, oh, 477 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: Matt Suey's just run for four yards and we'd be like, yeah, now, 478 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: what's happening? And they're like Jimmermans dropped back, Oh, it's 479 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: just overthrown that one to Willie Gold and we'd be like, 480 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: and we'd get them to give us personal commentary and 481 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: run up just enormous, threw Mills. So I shared this 482 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: dream with my best friends, and it's what the books 483 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: about about loving, you know, everything, heart to heart. Fantasy Island, 484 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: John Hughes movies Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, and Miami 485 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: Vice came on our screens. Dan and watching Don Johnson, 486 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, just in his pastels, in his T shirt 487 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: and his rolled up sleeves and is never any socks 488 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: and his hair that became blunder with every consecutive season 489 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: of the show gunning down narcot threats. In a spadriels, 490 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: I realized that to be willing in life, to succeed, 491 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: you have to have a singular style, be stick with it, 492 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: and then see not care about what anybody else says 493 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: about you. And so that's what I took from Miami Vice. 494 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: That was my attitude. I didn't I learned not to care. 495 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: I also started to wear spadriels with no socks, which 496 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: you are completely impractical, pol report, but I've learned not 497 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: to care about what other people think. Though. It's like 498 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: you were an American trapped in an Englishman spotting. That 499 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: is the opening paragraph of my book. I persuaded myself 500 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: because my family wanted to move there and ended up 501 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: by mistake in Liverpool. Because my great grandfather he's down 502 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: here there. He is, God love him. Harris Pollock. That's 503 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: him in the Russian Army where he had to serve 504 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: for twenty five years, and then he fled Ukraine and 505 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: he was headed to Chicago. Who was a butcher. He 506 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: wanted to become a butcher in the hog capital of 507 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: the world. And the myth of the Liverpool Jewish community 508 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: is that it's full of the idiot. So when the 509 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: boat doctor refuel in Liverpool saw the one tall building 510 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: on the Liverpool Skyline, I'm like, we're in New York. 511 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: Let's go And so we go off and we're in 512 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: Liverpool and Loverpool is the greatest city in the world. 513 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: I won't be clear. But in the eighties, as the 514 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: North economically, politically, culturally, Justison, you've seen Billy Elliott, You've 515 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: seen the mining devastation, the cotton, the steel, just the 516 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: post industrial Britain, there was a wasteland, and so I did. 517 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: I survived this very dark, black and white life by 518 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: inhaling American sports, American culture. And yes, then I tell 519 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: myself at night, I had the Statue of Liberty painted 520 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: on my bedroom wall. I would arrange my curtains so 521 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: that the light fell on her face, and I'd persuade 522 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: myself that I was an American trapped in an Englishman's body, 523 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: even though I'd never set foot in America. That's that's 524 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: the story you tell yourself to be able to get through. 525 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: Will the US men win a World Cup in our lifetime? Yes, yes, 526 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: if they If science allows us to live forever, then 527 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: the answers I can tell you. I can tell you 528 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: Ted Williams will definitely be alive. I'm walking the earth 529 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: by the time. If the American man can become half 530 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: as good as our women, they can be bloody, bloody good. 531 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: And the reality is I moved to America right before 532 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: the last World Cup and on men and blazers were 533 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: always jokes. Soccer America's sport, and the future as it 534 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: has been since nineteen seventy two, It's always meant to 535 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: be the next big thing that it was never an 536 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: overnight success. It's been slow and steady. That there's a 537 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: huge audience consuming consuming the Euros right now and our 538 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: men have gone to it. There's a young wave of 539 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: incredible talent Christian politic. I mentioned Western McKinney, I mean, 540 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned Tyler Adams that there's a slew of the Geo. 541 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: Rayner stood these young stars and for the first time 542 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: in your lifetime, young stars are willing to go abroad 543 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: to play against the best for the best and not 544 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: sticking around in America anymore. There's a young wave of 545 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: talent who will make us very proud sooner than we think. 546 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: Is there's somebody else in England we should acquire. Well, 547 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: we tried that with Piers Morgan. Yeah, we didn't work. 548 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: We want him, No, we returned him. We didn't want him, 549 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: we got him. It didn't work very well. I think 550 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: we we've got, we've got, We've got. I like us, 551 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: I like our cast of characters, and it is it 552 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: is amazing. In the past, you know, America did well 553 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: by having air bases strategic footballing countries Germany and we 554 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: had a lot of dual nationals. But the it's Beckham 555 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: ours not really, I don't say. I think he's got 556 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: the English flag tattooed about eighty seven times on his person. 557 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: That's just the ones we know about, the ones he 558 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: q secret. What about Ed Shearing? Is? Is Ed Shearing ours? Now? 559 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: Why would you want Ed Shearing when you've got Kevin 560 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: hurt who is Ed Shearon is just the poor man's 561 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: red velvet. Do you think Kevin Hurder is just a 562 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: taller Ed Shearing with talent? Yeah, and a better jumper. 563 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: I actually I actually watched in the Royal Box yesterday 564 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: watching England and they showed the Beckham shot with Shearon 565 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: and my first impulse was, oh my god, Kevin Hurts 566 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: sit Beckham, God love him. Gincher power, you go for it, Kevin. 567 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to sit next to Beckham. As good looking 568 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: as he is, U he gets better and better and 569 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: better looking. That is the remarkable thing he is. He is. 570 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: And it's like Ronaldo, who Christiano. Ronaldo's like thirty five 571 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: thirty six and everyone's like, oh, this could be his last, 572 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: big toy. Ronaldo has had a little help, like Ted 573 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: Williams help at work, a little work done. I think 574 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: I've got to be candid. Ronaldo seems to be learning 575 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: lessons about life. His eyebrows he used to overpluck in 576 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: a devastating fashion, and everyone thinks he's just about himself. 577 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: That guy's clearly lessened to feedback because he's filling them out. 578 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: I think he is gorgeous. I am team messy just 579 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: to be totally candid. But you have to admire this 580 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: human being that is driven by a constant drive for 581 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: self improvement and human wonder. I once stayed in his 582 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: hotel room at the Euros after Portugal had been defeated, 583 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: and then I moved into the hotel. When Portugal left. 584 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: I was in Donetsch in Ukraine, which I would really 585 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: recommend for Americans or looking to travel to af the 586 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: off the road tourist spectacle, and I moved into his 587 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: hotel room. They'd vacated maybe twelve hours earlier, and all 588 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: I will tell you for the next eleven days, the 589 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: dreck on the war cloud that still hung to me 590 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: vicariously by moving in there was was just immense. And 591 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: I lived a tiny bit of his life. He is 592 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: a gentleman that takes care of himself in wonderful ways, 593 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: and we should all be so blessed too. I mean, God, 594 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: look at me. I'm in position. It's not coming to 595 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: Christiano Ronaldo Dan Patrick.

As Todd has 636 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: reminded me a few times, you forgot to let me 637 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: do my limerick. I did promise, and I didn't forget. 638 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: Did not. I didn't forget, but you reminded me. So Todd, 639 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: it's time for your limerick. This is off the Eastern 640 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: Conference game four last night in Atlanta. Atlanta certainly wasn't 641 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: meek without Trey. They didn't look weak there will, they'd asserted, 642 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: long after Janis got hurt. Now is it serious or 643 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: just a Greek tweak? No? No, I don't know. We 644 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: don't need any no enhancement there. I don't know. No, no, 645 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: no Sports Center theme song. Nope. But thank you, Todd, 646 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,399 Speaker 1: thank you. This is Mike Budenholzer. He's the bucks head 647 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: coach on the Greek Freak still wanting to play. I 648 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: don't want to speak for him, you know, I know, 649 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: just historically it's impossible to keep him off the court. 650 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: It's impossible to, you know, keep him away from his teammates, 651 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: keep him away from his team. So my guess is 652 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: he probably wants to play and trying to play, and 653 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 1: it's not let his teammates know that he's there for him. 654 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: If you don't want to speak for him, then don't 655 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: speak for him, Just say I don't know. How about 656 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 1: we wait till he gets examined and then we'll find 657 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: out if he's able to play. Do I think he 658 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: wants to play? Knowing him, yes, But then again I 659 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: don't want to speak for him. Well, I speak for him. 660 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 1: Doug in North Carolina, Hi, Doug, what's on your mind today? 661 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: Dominic Wilkins will join us coming up in a half hour. Well, Dan, 662 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,399 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask a question of Polly, but let 663 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: me set it up this week this way. Last week, 664 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 1: then you debuted this Crosley Field T shirt and you 665 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: talked about seeing Pete Rose play there, and we all 666 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: have this connection to an old ballpark and right now 667 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: in Chicago, and keep in mind that your last guys 668 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: just talked about his connection to Walter Payton and Willie Galton, 669 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: Matt Suey right now in Chicago there's talk that the 670 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: Bears maybe leaving Soldier Field and going I guess to 671 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: the suburbs. And so, Polly, I'm wondering if you had 672 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: the between having like a new shrine like what they 673 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: have in Dallas or La or Las Vegas, or a 674 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: historical venue like Soldier Field, where do you come down 675 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,720 Speaker 1: on quickly. It's just a tough situation with Soldier Field 676 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: because it's an old stadium. They redid it once. They 677 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: can't really tear it down and build a new one there, 678 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: or they'd have to play elsewhere for a few years. 679 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: So an easy option is the suburbs. You'd want a great, 680 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: big stadium downtown, but that doesn't seem to be an 681 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: option right now, and money always wins. Yeah. Well, thank you, Doug, 682 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: thanks for the question. Barry in Long Island, Hi Berry, 683 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 1: good morning fellas, Hi Bear. I actually I have a 684 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: limerick about Toddy all right. There, there once was a booker, 685 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: Todd Fritz, who sometimes can act like it dits mock headlines, unfunny, 686 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: sports nicknames, too punny. He's constantly giving Dan fits. Thank 687 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: you Berry. Let me check with Tod to make sure 688 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: he's okay, Well, okay, all right, just were clever. Make 689 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: sure I love when I love when there's the Limerick 690 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: contributions come in. Yeah, I'm still learning. I am bic pentameter. 691 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: That's all right, We'll got your dare, We'll catch you up. 692 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what it means, but I just remember 693 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: I am bic pen tamea. That's Shakespeare, right. I think 694 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't have an English pature. I don't even know 695 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: what it means. Do you realize that on my honeymoon 696 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: we went to where Shakespeare was born, and uh, we 697 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: my wife and I saw the Taming of the Shrew, 698 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: which is probably not the you know right play to 699 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: see when you're on your honeymoon. But Taming of the 700 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: Shrew with in Shakespeare's hometown. Okay, this sounds so snaughty, 701 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: but isn't Shakespeare so much better when you see it 702 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: in England? I saw a play in Stratford Ponton too. 703 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: It's so much it makes more sense. It was Stratford 704 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: upon Avon, right, it is where Shakespeare's from, and uh 705 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: they had a stage there in beautiful setting. Did you 706 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: feel like you understood Shakespeare in a way that you 707 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: don't understand it when you see it? Normally no, okay, 708 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, not at all okay, not at all, no, no, 709 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: but the mood feels like you're in his hometown. So 710 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: there's like an are around it while being there, like 711 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: drinking Guinness at the Guinness Brewery. Well, this is you're 712 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,919 Speaker 1: in his hometown. Although I don't think Shakespeare. I think 713 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: Shakespeare was a pen name for a bunch of writers 714 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 1: that they wrote under. I don't think one person could 715 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: write everything that Shakespeare wrote. Just you know, just my 716 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 1: amateur assessment of this, it just way too much. I mean, 717 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: I get like Da Vinci to me is made me 718 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: the most brilliant man who ever walked the planet. But 719 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, Shakespeare writing all to that stuff. Yeah, is 720 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: his hometown, though, like everything's a knockoff of him, like Shakespeare, Tyrant, Auto, Shakespeare, Frozen, Custard. 721 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: It's not they use his name like Shakespeare, Pizza, Shakespezza parlor, 722 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: not quite like that, not quite like that, custard and shakes. Yeah. 723 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 1: By the way, I said goodbye to one of my 724 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: favorite shows yesterday, Bosh and now there's seven seasons, but 725 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: I said goodbye. This is uh La Police in the 726 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: nineties and uh Harry Bosh is the main detective, and uh, 727 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's not you gotta have you know, 728 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 1: an imagination or takes a lot of deep thought or whatever. 729 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: It's just it's a it's a nice you want a 730 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: summer of watching some episodes. Uh, Bosh is great. There's 731 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: some great acting in it, great characters. Uh and uh, 732 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: Titus Welliver is the h is Harry Bosh and he's uh, 733 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: he's great. It's really a well done series. But I 734 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a spin off if I'm guessing 735 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: with Harry Bosh. Uh no spoiler alert here, but I'm 736 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,399 Speaker 1: going to guess that they might spin it off. Yes 737 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: see Bosh is going to have a spinoff on the 738 00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: character Bosh. Yeah interesting, Yeah, yeah. Did you see that 739 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: The Sopranos prequel trailer just came out? People are flipping 740 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: out over that. Yeah, I m club. Yeah, I watched 741 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: it a few times a Sopranos, but you're not a 742 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: Sopranos guy. We're going nuts on it. I haven't watched 743 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: an episode, so you should watch a prequel before you 744 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: watch the actual TV show. The Sopranos. Well reversion, I 745 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: wish I would have watched better call Saul. If I 746 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: could have before Breaking Bad, if I could have watched 747 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: that before, it would have added even more uh you know, 748 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: greatness to Breaking Bad. Yeah, I'm a club. I've never 749 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: seen Breaking Bad, so I should start chronologically with better calls. 750 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: Oh better call Saul? Is is I'm not gonna say 751 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: it rivals Breaking Bad, but man, does it compliment it. 752 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: It's right there that it's Bob Odin Kirk is wonderful 753 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: in there. But you see some of the characters who 754 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: were in Breaking Bad before they were those characters in 755 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: Breaking Bad. You get their backstory, and I thought it was, 756 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: you know, very enjoyable and uh, what else anything else 757 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: that I saw? Where none is up to four hundred 758 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars worldwide, that's not too bad. I 759 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: have a feeling, don't I'm not breaking new. I think 760 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: there's gonna be another fast and Furious movie. Think there's 761 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: been f ten. Well, who knows how this ends, Paulie. 762 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: I don't know right now. There might be some loose 763 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 1: ends to tie up here, can be f X isn't 764 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: that like? I isn't X the Roman numeral for ten? 765 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: But wasn't that a former TV channel FX TV channel. Oh, 766 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: it is okay, but they're at spaceships not cars. What 767 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: happened here? Why is this? What is happening there? The 768 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: world trying to contain them, And even then you can't 769 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: contain Ben and Diesel. You can't stop him.
