He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

I did not have time nor 23 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: did I want to get to some of this stuff 24 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: on the terrestrial radio show, for for many reasons, for 25 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: many reasons. So the menu on Benny's Bistro, the Friday restaurant, 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: here's what we're serving up. We've got remember the Alamo 27 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: down range and a hardball brain bender. After all, it's 28 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: opening weekend a major League baseball And clearly, NYG, we 29 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: are both old because we both like baseball, so there 30 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: must be something wrong with us. But I love baseball, 31 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: and I got very lucky years ago to do stuff 32 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: in baseball, which was a lot of fun. And I 33 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: always look forward to Opening Day and you hear that music, 34 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: you know that that that that that that Dodgers. You know, 35 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: it's like that or your your favorite team, just like that. 36 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: You got your Brooklyn hat on. And I'm excited to 37 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: say that I found a couple of season my tender 38 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: Ronie did. Found a couple of seats for Dodgers Opening 39 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: Day next Thursday, opening at home at least, yeah, the 40 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: home opening home open. But it's a night game, it's 41 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: not Yeah, that's why I'm able to go, Okay, well, 42 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: let me know how it is. Well, maybe i'll maybe 43 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: I'll make a rare and appropriate appearance out there. It's 44 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: possible it could happen. So let's get right into it, though, 45 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: and we begin. Let me give you a little back 46 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: story before we begin here. So, from time to time 47 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: on the show, it is an opinion based show. When 48 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: opportunity knocks, we take advantage of it on the on 49 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: the radio show, in this show, and normally things go 50 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: according to plan. Every once in a while we will 51 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: have a monologue that resonates and gets an emotional reaction 52 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: out of people that happened earlier. Yes, we ruffled, We 53 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: ruffled some feathers on the radio show. So at the 54 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: beginning of the week. So let's take you back in 55 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: the hot Top time machine to the beginning of the week, 56 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: and we were coming in. It was a Sunday night 57 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: into a Monday. The Final Four had been played on Saturday, 58 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: so there was down to two teams the championship game, 59 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: Kansas and North Carolina. So he had not going on. Unfortunately, 60 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: the NFL news has started to slow down. We knew 61 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: at some point this was going to happen. We could 62 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: not keep up that pace. We could not keep that 63 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: pace up. And so finally things in the NFL have 64 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: quieted down. It's the calm before the NFL Draft, which 65 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: is later this month, and so fine. So when that 66 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: goes on, as you know, Danny from being a longtime 67 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: member of the show and being in the business, you've 68 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: got to pivot and there's always something to talk about. 69 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: It's just not what we normally talk about. So we 70 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: have to bend the rules a little bit and find 71 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: things to discuss. And so at the beginning of the week, 72 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: the story had come out over the weekend that the 73 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: Basketball Hall of Fame class had been announced, and so 74 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: I actually started getting some messages from our buddy who 75 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: does the morning show at the Fox affiliate in San Antoni. 76 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: And I don't rely know him that well. I just 77 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: know him online a little bit, and he's been doing 78 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: the morning show for a number of years. And so 79 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: sever years back, when Genoble was done with the Spurs, 80 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: I had done a rant about how Jenobley was not 81 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame player, and I, to be honest, 82 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: I completely forgot about it. You know, I remember talking 83 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: about it at the time, but it's not something that 84 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: was on the front burner. It was in the back burner. 85 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: And that's fine. Whatever. This guy was busting my chops, 86 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: the morning guy in San Antonio, and then some of 87 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: his listeners, some of his minions, we're trying to argue 88 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: with me and trying to goof on me and all that. Uh. 89 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: And so I said, you know, okay, everything's perfect here. 90 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: It's got all the ingredients. There's not a big NFL 91 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: news weekend, there's not a whole lot going on in 92 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: the NBA. Baseball doesn't start for another week. Okay, you 93 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: know what, I will throw red meat into the lions. 94 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna take the story and come hell or 95 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: high water, I'm gonna do it. And so I went 96 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: on a rant. I don't even remember what hour it was, 97 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: maybe it was Our two or Our three, but I 98 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: went on a rant highlighting the sham of Manu Ginobili 99 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: getting enshrined into the Hall of Fame and Springfield mass 100 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: and I pointed out he was a career back up 101 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: with the Spurs and a good player, but not a 102 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame player. If you have any kind of 103 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: standards as an NBA player, he was had zero all 104 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: NBA first or second teams. He was a backup most 105 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: of his career. I don't need to do the whole 106 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: monologue again, but I'm just giving some reports. If he 107 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: didn't hear it, it's all captain obvious stuff. So and 108 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: he was a backup most of his career, only won 109 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: won six Man of the Year, and he was good player. 110 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: I would not put him in the Hall of Fame. Man, 111 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: what about all the international accomplishments. Yeah, well, I don't 112 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: watch international basketball, so it don't matter to me. I 113 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: watched international basketball during the lyrics. And then the counter 114 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: argument was, well, what about the NBA Championships? And you 115 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: know Danny how I feel about this. We've gone back 116 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: and forth on this over the years. Um, it's it's 117 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: a waste of time to fight with me because I'm 118 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: not changing my position. I know you're not changing your position. 119 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: We're locked in on this. But the championship is a 120 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: team award. It's not an individual awards. A team award. 121 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: Everyone on the team, whether you're the low man on 122 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: the totem pole or the most important player, gets the 123 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: same championship ring. It's not like they give a cheap 124 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: knockoff phony ring to the guy on the bench that 125 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: didn't play, that was outside the rotation. They all get 126 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: the same thing. So whether they tear up the dance 127 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: floor or not, it doesn't matter anyway. So fine, So 128 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: I did my rants. I I go on there. Elijah, 129 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: the guy that runs the social media department for Fox 130 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, I send him these videos from my studio 131 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: of me doing the rants. I don't pick what he uses. 132 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: He just picks whateveryone. Some days he puts all my 133 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: monologues up. Some days he only puts one up. Some 134 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: days he puts none on. It just happened. Usually Mondays 135 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: are kind of slow days around there, so they put 136 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: a lot of my stuff up on Mondays. And so 137 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: he put the videos up, put a few of them up, 138 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: and this genoboy thing took off like a wildfire. I thought, 139 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: pop up. I watched it. You were totally animated. Bak 140 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: here now, and I was like, uh, I'm not surprised 141 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: right now to hear about what's going on. Yeah, So 142 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: so I did my thing whatever, you know, I was 143 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: into it. I had fun. You know you're gonna do radio. 144 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: I was taught do it, do it with passion, do 145 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: it with the motion. Otherwise, don't do it, because if 146 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna listen to an idiot like me or Danny 147 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: g you know, professional and uh, you want to hear 148 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: somebody that's that's into it, invested in it, you know, 149 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: whether that means you're bodacious, whatever your style is. So 150 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: this thing hits the internet and all of a sudden 151 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: it began rather softly because it begins, it started getting 152 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: a little uptick. It's doing pretty well. It's doing better 153 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: than most of the videos that I have. Fine, whatever, 154 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: And this is important because the company keeps track of 155 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: this stuff. And if no one watches, it's bad. If 156 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: people watch, it's good. That's what they want. I don't 157 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: really care if people watch or not, but they want, 158 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, to have people want, So I I do 159 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: the thing. And it starts out with the kind of 160 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: the casual San Antonio, like the local I've been in 161 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of these local battles, so it was like 162 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: normal San Antonio stuff. It kept going, it didn't stop. 163 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: Usually it goes for a few hours and the people 164 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: move on to the next target. Didn't stop, and so 165 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now San Antonio, the TV stations 166 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: pick up the story. Then the big websites pick up 167 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: the story. They were they wanted that. We're now the 168 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: floodgates have opened in Now now we're on like Donkey Kong, right, 169 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: it is, it is on. I mean, we are just 170 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: going for it here. And so that began. Then they 171 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: want to hold a war tribune all like the Nuremberg Trials. 172 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: For me in the Alamo, my crime was giving an 173 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: opinion on an overnight Sports Dark Raider show, which is 174 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: so fun. I was gonna kick out of this. Like 175 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: of those people online are not listening to the live show. 176 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: They don't even know what the live shows. But they 177 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: get all worked up into a tizzy and so they're 178 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: all upset and they're furious that I did not give 179 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: Manu Ginobili the manny and the petty, and so they 180 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: they've asked me to shop the fuck up. They've requested 181 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: that over and over again. Now that was at this point, 182 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: we're just at San Antoni. We're just doing the Alumo. 183 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: I can handle that. That's no big deal whatever. I 184 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: don't take back what I said. I believe what I said. 185 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: The Pro Basketball Hall of Fame is the it's the 186 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: easiest Hall of Fame to get into into among the 187 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: major professional sports. So at this point I'm like, all right, whatever, 188 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: this will calm down a little bit. And and then 189 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: I started getting messages from friends of mine that I 190 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: know live in the San Antonio area and they're like, well, no, 191 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: the is like a story, like this is a thing, 192 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: like you're a thing. Like there, it must have been 193 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: a slow newsday, Danny in San Antonio. I'm a thing. No, 194 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: your take wound up on the national feed for I 195 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: Heart Sports. Yeah, it's bind with that viral clip of you. 196 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: I got a friend of mine lives in that area 197 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: said you're you're the second most despised man in San 198 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: Antonio behind Charles Barkley. So I'm like, okay, you know 199 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: that's good. And it was real. It was really funny. 200 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: I had like women messaging me on Twitter saying I'm ugly. 201 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, I know that already. You don't need to 202 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: tell me that. I had already know that. I always 203 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: love the people you're on overnights. You know no one listens. Yeah, 204 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: And my position is if you're not a first or 205 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: second team in your sport, you're probably not a Hall 206 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: of Famer because while you were playing, you were never 207 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: recognized as one of the great players, one of the 208 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: top ten players, or one of the five best players, 209 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Uh, And so that that's a 210 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: red flag to me. And when I was watching the 211 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: Spurs and I watched that, we all watched a lot 212 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: of usps. I never thought Jenoboley's all of favorite. Duncan sure, 213 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Tony Parker, sure, I never thought of Genobley as a 214 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, But I have higher standards in the 215 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame anyway. So, at this point is a 216 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: local story, typical tribalism, ripped the hometown team rally around 217 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: the washed up former star who's back in the glory days. 218 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, things flitted and it 219 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 1: went from just a local San Antonio story all of 220 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: a sudden, now it becomes a geo political crisis because 221 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: words start spreading back to Argentina, where man Wu is from. 222 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: And so now we're on like Donkey Kong in the 223 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: country I've never been to, Yeah, and it's it's going 224 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: crazy here. So I start getting and I'm not on 225 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: social media a lot, but I do check it, you know, 226 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: before the show. I'll check it. When I go to bed, 227 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: I'll check whatever. So I'm getting messages from random dudes 228 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: in Buenos Aires who are attacking me in Spanish, and 229 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm using Google Translate to try to, you know, figure 230 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: out my Spanish. Isn't that good. It's exactly so, Benito, 231 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: I saw they're they're attacking me, and this keeps going 232 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: and going. Now the basketball sports bloggers and Argentina get 233 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: word of the story and they're ranting and raving, and 234 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: they're they're using me as this big boogeyman and all 235 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: this stuff, and it was it was quite amusing. I 236 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I had a cheshire Cat smile from here. 237 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: I said, you gotta be kid you you idiots. And 238 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: it's like I as you know, Danny, and we just 239 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: want people to consume the content how they whether they 240 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: like the content or not. We'd sure be more fun 241 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: if everyone loved Jen kissed your ass and all that stuff. 242 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: But uh, the smell of trouble is not a bad 243 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: thing either. Remember that line from the Howard Stern movie. 244 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: The people that didn't like Stern listened longer than the 245 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: people that liked him because they wanted to hear they 246 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: wanted to be upset, and they wanted more things to 247 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: be upset about, or something that they wanted to hear 248 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: what he was gonna do next, Yeah, exactly. Now, speaking 249 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: of that, so this is this comes to I've got 250 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: San Antonio, major US city, and I've got Argentina attacking me. 251 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: Mentioned the geo political christ has meant a little overboard 252 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: on that. But so people in Argentina are circling, circling 253 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: the wagons. And I had no idea that man who 254 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: was that big a demigod? I had knowed. I knew 255 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: it was popular, but my goodness, it's like I'm attacking Jesus. Anyway, 256 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: I never underestimate the power of the hero worship of 257 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: Manu and it was. And then back in San Antonio, 258 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: this was bizarre. This one had never happened before. Danny. 259 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: We had this guy like a Ron Burgundy of San 260 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: Antonio Television who wanted to go on. He invited himself 261 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: on the show and he wanted to debate me on 262 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: Janobody's Hall of Fame credentials. What I should have done 263 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: is I said, all right, how about this, I'll go 264 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: on your TV station and you can get a satellite 265 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: hook up and pay me a rate and I'll go 266 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: on there. I would have done that. Plus, I don't 267 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: think that that Ron Burgundy guy knows. Like when the 268 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: show's on, it was hilarious, like I'm the big TV guy. 269 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm the big guy. I love the local teams, so 270 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my teeth and bite into Mallard And 271 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: it was hilarious. Now, the TV station that ran with this, 272 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: did you hear from their newsroom? Of course not. No, 273 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: they took they took the feed. There were it was 274 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: multiple TV stations, Dandy, there were multiple TV stations in 275 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: San Antonio that ran a similar version of the story. 276 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: And it was it was really it was very amusing, 277 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: very very amusing. And so we can now add saying 278 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: in Tony my first international anger, our friends in Argentina. 279 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: By the way, I love Argentinian food. I love some 280 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: grilled chicken and the rice and wonderful. It calls for 281 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: a new nickname for you, like the Argentinan Disaster or 282 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: something to the effect of you really bothering the people there, 283 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: the Argentinian Master of Disaster or something like. Yeah, I'm 284 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: sure a listener will come up with something along those lines. 285 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: But so San Antonio. Over the years, I'm trying to 286 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: think of all the different cities We've had kur fluffles with. 287 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: We had Phoenix, We've had multiple with Phoenix over alligator arms, 288 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: Murray Houston, local media blow ups with the Strows and 289 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: former quarterback to Shaun Watson. Cleveland. There was a big 290 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: one in Cleveland years ago, got into it with the 291 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: the then Cleveland Indian fans right over the CC Sabathia Trade. 292 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: I think that was the thing that they got upset about. 293 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: We had one with Baltimore. Ray Lewis Todd pods are amazing. 294 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: I ripped ray Lewis after the Super Bowl. That got 295 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot of places. Have there been a few of these? 296 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: There you go. Danny add sant Antonio to the list, 297 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: and it still hasn't calmed down.

In particular, 333 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: one of my good friends from elementary school works for 334 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: the I R S In He lives in Dallas. And 335 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: I've had a bunch of other people have radio friends, 336 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: some some in Houston, lot in Dallas. The exodus from California. 337 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: And so per the sale out the reason I'm bringing 338 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: this up, per the sale of the house, the new 339 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: neighbors who haven't moved in yet, the people that bought 340 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: the house. It's part of the request. A lot of 341 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: termites here because we're in the north Woods, and so hey, 342 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: you gotta tent the house, kill all the termines. Okay, 343 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: So that was going on next door, and on Wednesday 344 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: eight I was preparing for the show Crack a Lock lacking, 345 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: doing my thing. It was just a normal Wednesday, and 346 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: I like to sit outside. It all not son and 347 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: I sit in the shade, but I'd like to get 348 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: some fresh air, enjoy the great outdoors and all that. 349 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: So I'm sitting outside, minding my own. Yeah, I've got 350 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: my you know, I got my laptop going. I'm just 351 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: kind of checking things out, looking for things that would 352 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: inspire me to do a monologue and jot down a 353 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: few bullet points and whatnot for the monologue. So I'm 354 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: doing my thing, getting ready for the show. It's kind 355 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: of it's whatever I get. I got some games on 356 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: my laptop. I'll watch from john to time. It's picturesque 357 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: day in the north Woods. And so I'm sitting down. 358 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: About an hour after I sit down, I start getting 359 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: this nasty migraine headache, and it kept getting worse, and 360 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell happened. I'm trying to think 361 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: that I eat anything. No, I didn't anything unusual. Is 362 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: there something going on here? Am I having some kind 363 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: medical ailment? And then I had an aha moment and 364 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: I realized while I was joined the California son and 365 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: the trees and all that. I was down wind, Danny, 366 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: as they I guess in the military, they say, down 367 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: range from this toxic vapor cloud of turmoite termite poison. 368 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: Oh man, that had I leaked out of the house, 369 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: I guess, And so yeah, that's what gave me the headache. 370 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: So I I hide tailed it out of there. I went, 371 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: you have a dabad and get the hell out of there, 372 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: and went into scramble mode. And we will see if 373 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: the termite, guess ends up messing up the old body anymore. 374 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: But so far it's only been a headache, So all 375 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: things considered, that's not I can deal with a headache. 376 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: But who knows the long term effects of spending an 377 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: hour breathing termite poison in whether that's gonna affect me 378 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: down the line. But the point that's only it's only 379 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: a headache. I thought I was far enough away a 380 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: b there was a tent on it. But upon further review, Danny, 381 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: the tent, you know, those those metal clips, those big 382 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: metal clips. They were using the metal clips to tape 383 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: the big plastic that they were wrapping the house with together. 384 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: So I think that that allowed the poison to get 385 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: out because they didn't do a good job on that. 386 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: I I think, I don't know. I've never been that 387 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: close to it house that was termite wrapped like that, 388 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: and hope to never be again. Hope to never be 389 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: again that close to a house like that, because it 390 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: did not feel particularly good. Well, you have the address 391 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: exactly where to drop off your medical bills. Yes, yes, 392 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: If I need to sue someone, I'll contact my my 393 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: lawyer there and I will immediately I call up Sal. 394 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: You better call Sal. Isn't that it's one of those 395 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh, Saul, there you go, or so 396 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: there you go? All right, So we have the baseball 397 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: brain buster. It's opening weekend in Major League Baseball and 398 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: baseball from Freddie Freeman to Aaron Judge. Oh boy, that 399 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: was terrible anyway, I'm sorry, Mr President's bat. Everybody in 400 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: southern California is hyped up about that Miller kid throwing 401 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: a hundred miles per hour and no viral game against 402 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: the Angels with half not even half field Dodger Stadium. 403 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: But that was a impressive moment. So the way this 404 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: will work, then we'll just kind of go through and 405 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: see who we like and who we don't like, and 406 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: right it's it's the brainbuster, the baseball brain buster, which 407 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: is very exciting. This is this is the kind of 408 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: content people need, but they don't realize they needed. It's 409 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: like when I used to work with Mike North and 410 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: there would be days where Andy Ferman couldn't make it 411 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: to the show, and so Mike would just opened up 412 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: the old school newspaper and read baseball box scores. So 413 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: that is so nineteen nineties, early nineties, late eighties and 414 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: early nineties radio. It's huge, game by game, buck score 415 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: by buck score. My favorite was Mike Francessa when I 416 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: would go to New York to visit my brother, and 417 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: you're all excited because w FAN is the biggest sports 418 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: radio station in the country, and you're like, Wow, this 419 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: is the gold standard. And I want to be just 420 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: like those guys on w f And you know, I 421 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: was a kid, and so I listen to the station 422 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: on my way in from the airport, and to be 423 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: Mike Francessa at two o'clock in the afternoon on a Tuesday, 424 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: here's the Yankee lineup. You got g in the lead 425 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: off spot, and then you got Soho batting say, you know, 426 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: he's like, oh my god, sound it's scary. It's just painful. 427 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: Make it stop. And this is the guy, this is 428 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: the star of New York radio. This is the guy. 429 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: This is what he's doing. Brutal anyway, So now, should 430 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: we just do a world series? Should we do divisions? Penance? 431 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: What are we looking at you? Aren't you afraid it 432 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: might go off? Accidentally? I used to have that problem. 433 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: What did you do about it? I just think about baseball. 434 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 1: Why don't we just go through the divisions? We have 435 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: some time, it's the pods. We have a little bit 436 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: of time. We have too much time, all right, So 437 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: we'll go through the the odds. I have the odds here, 438 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: and we'll each pick, and then at the end of 439 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: the baseball season, you can go back and download this 440 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: podcast and see what we got right and how we 441 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: flet Okay, fair enough, sounds good, all right, So we're 442 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: both Dodger fans. So we'll start with the nationally West. Gee, 443 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: I wonder what we're gonna pick here. That's a hard one. 444 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: Not to me. The most interesting story in the nationally 445 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: West of the Giants. I feel like they overachieved tremendously 446 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: last year. They're not that good, so they should be 447 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: crawling back to reality this year. And the odds indicate 448 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: that because the Giants. Back in January, the Giants were 449 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: a seven to two pick. They were one of the 450 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: favorites to make the playoffs and all that just when 451 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: the you know, compete with the division. Now they are 452 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: in the red, so their odds have gone down. But yeah, 453 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: we're both taking the Dodgers, right, Dodgers for sure. Something 454 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: about the Giants, though, they're like cockroaches. They just don't 455 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: go away. And they put this rag tag group together 456 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: and these these guys who are not big names just 457 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: come through. It's crazy. Yeah, And even when the Giants 458 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: are bad and the Dodges are good or vice versa, 459 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: those games head to head still are very, very closet annoying. 460 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: Although the Dodgers did get the ultimate f you to 461 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: the Giants way back. If you're old enough to remember, 462 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: was that ninety three or ninety two was the early 463 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: nineties Giants is before the wild card. Giants won over 464 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: a hundred games, And remember they lost the last couple 465 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: of games at Dodger Stadium and they didn't make the playoffs. 466 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: I do remember that. Ye. Now, any Padre prediction from you, like, 467 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: do you think Tat Jr. Will actually play a full 468 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: season or well, no, he's always gonna be out for 469 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: half the year at least. Yeah, So no, I do 470 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: think the Potters still are good enough to make the place. 471 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: They added an extra team, and you do the math 472 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: on this. I look at the nationally right now, and 473 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: I can immedia eliminate on opening weekend the Diamondbacks, Rockies, Pirates, 474 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: the Reds. I'm also going to eliminate the Cubs or 475 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: up to five teams. I'm gonna eliminate the Nationals and 476 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: the Marlins. So that's seven teams. So that means, if 477 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: my math is correct, you've got eight teams for six 478 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: spots in the nationally a total of six three division winners, 479 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: three wild card winners, so the next three records after that, 480 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: so yeah, six out of eight, you have a six 481 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: out of eight chance if you're just trying. So that 482 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: means the Giants. Out of the Giants, Padres, Dodgers, Brewers, Cardinals, Braves, Mets, 483 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: and Phillies, six of those eight teams make the plan. 484 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: You agree with that, I would push back a little 485 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: bit on the Reds. The Reds are terrible if you 486 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: see what they've done. But they're horrible. They're horrible, Danny Trained, 487 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: anybody you've ever heard of other than Joey Bottom. They 488 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: all they're gone. They're all gone. There's no one left. 489 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: I feel like they could still be a scrappy bunch. Possibly, No, 490 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't see that. I could see the clubs of 491 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: that group of also rans. I can see the clubs 492 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: being annoying. I mean, I'm thinking of what the Giants 493 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: do in our division. I'm wondering if there's a team 494 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: that will be like that be comparable to the Giants 495 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: of last season. Yeah, well we don't. Yeah, of course 496 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: there will be somebody that we're like that team was 497 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: supposed to suck. But I'm betting it's not the Reds. 498 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: So I've got I think the Braves will actually end 499 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: up beating out the Mets in the Nationally East. So 500 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: I'll take the Braves. I've got the brew Crew. I 501 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: think the brew Crew should run away, although they have 502 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: no offense there, but they should run away with the 503 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: Nationally Central. The Brewers are actually the favorite that the Cardinals. 504 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: They have a couple of stars kind of rag tag. 505 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: You some questions about the pitching staff there in St. Louis, 506 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: whether there there's some guys long in the tooth. Also 507 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: in the lineup, they brought back Albert Poojos. Ye, so 508 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: I am going I'm going very chalk here, going very 509 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: chalk with Dodgers, Brewers and Braves. I'd like to see 510 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: the Mets not make the playoffs because my cousin is 511 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: a big Mets fan, and it's always fun when I 512 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: can annoy him. Yeah, I don't feel like hearing Jay's 513 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: and smith on before you going on and on about 514 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: how the Mets are winning, so it would be better 515 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: if they lose. Yeah, I agree. All right, So American League, 516 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: we'll starting the American Lely West. You got the cheating 517 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: as Strows, they're the favorite Angels and Mariners. After that 518 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: you got Texas in Oakland. I like Seattle. Actually, I'm 519 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: gonna go with Robbie the Mariner fans. This is the year. 520 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: This is the year the Mariners were closing in last year. 521 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: They didn't have a great offseason. But I'm taking Seattle 522 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: to win the American League West. It happens when someone 523 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: says they're gonna send us acts that's right, yeah, exactly. 524 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: And I need the other thing I need here is 525 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: the Angels to be a little bit better because I 526 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: want to find a way the Astros don't make the playoffs. 527 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: I don't see a way they don't because they're gonna 528 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: play the Rangers and the Athletics that are minor league teams. Well, 529 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: Corey Seeger they got the Rangers got two or three guys, 530 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: that's it. But they're not. What about Syndergard. I mean, 531 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: you don't hear much about him being in that red 532 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: uniform now because he's an Anahi. They don't. I don't 533 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: want the attention to Anna, but I yeah, Syndergard, if 534 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: he's healthy. That's the ifs and butts game though, right, Danny, 535 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: you don't play the ifs and bucks game. Now. The 536 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: American League Central, you got the favorite, the White Sox. 537 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: The Twins have actually had their odds improved. They signed 538 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: beating Astro Carlos Correa. You got the Tigers who have 539 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: actually fallen off a little bit from January. And then 540 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: after that the Guardians and my buddies in Kansas City 541 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: who stink. But I did, I did talk to my 542 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: friends in Kansas City. Actually, Uh, yesterday. It wasn't there, 543 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: like that's a great ball I told him it's a 544 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: great ballpark. The White Sox are the favorite. The Twins 545 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: of the second pick Twin White Sox are are one 546 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: to two favorites, the Twins or fifteen to for. I 547 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: want to pull for the Twins because of our guys 548 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, but I can't do it with Carlos Correa 549 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: right now. I can't. I'm sorry, You're just hateable. Uh. 550 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: I like what the Tigers were trying to put together 551 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: last season. Yeah, the Tigers have a sneaky good team. 552 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: Well not even really sneak. They had a couple of pictures. 553 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: They got a hobby bias. I'm not a big hobby 554 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: bias guy. He's a good regular season players. So I'm 555 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: gonna pull for the Tigers. Yeah, that's what I have 556 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: written down on my sheet here, all right. So I 557 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: got the Tigers, I got Mariners of West, Tigers in 558 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: the Central, and then I'm going shalk in the American 559 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: League East, I'm going with the blue Jays. I look 560 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: at that Blue Jay team. I think that's a threat 561 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: to beat the Dodgers in the World Series. That's a 562 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: good blue Jay team right there. That is a team 563 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: that is stacked. I've been hearing you talk about Toronto. 564 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. They'd have to have some injuries 565 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: and some things really break bad for them to uh 566 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: poop all over the field in the mound. Yeah, you 567 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: look at the projections and a big projection guy or whatever. 568 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: But if you you look at that, just the lineup 569 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 1: that the Blue Jays, the projected lineup and the pitching 570 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: staff they've got, that is a team that is just 571 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: made to win a hundred games. Now the playoffs. As 572 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, Danny, We've learned this firsthand over the years 573 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. You can have the most impressive team 574 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: and then you get a pesky, scrappy team with gump 575 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: ship like the Atlanta Braves for example this past year, 576 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: or the Washington Nationals a couple of years ago. They 577 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: end up hijacking your fund and and ruining, ruining the 578 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: good times. Vladimir gil Jr. You go down the list there, 579 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: Bo Bishette, what's his name, ti Oscar Hernandez. That's not 580 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,479 Speaker 1: his name, Jeff d That guy's nobody even knows who 581 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: he is outside of the hardcore Blue Jay fans. But 582 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: you look at the the roster like, wow, that is 583 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: that is something One Blue Jays fan on my Twitter 584 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: feed and every day he's highlighting a different player on 585 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: the team. So I feel like I'm connected. And they 586 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: got our old guy reu Reusing there. He's still hanging 587 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: out in Toronto. So I got the Blue Jays and 588 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: what else here? We do a few more and uh, 589 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: of course we gotta get to the big stuff, which 590 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,479 Speaker 1: is on my list. The big stuff is on my list. Uh, 591 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: so let's go nationally. We're taking the Dodgers, Uh I think, 592 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: Am I right? You're picking anybody but the Dodgers? Okay, 593 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: Dodgers Dodgers, and I'm taking Toronto the American League. You 594 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: want to pick anybody other that other than the Blue Jays. 595 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 1: You got the word, I can't argue against Toronto, alright, 596 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: So we're going chalk on that. Anybody but the Astros, 597 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: blank my blank and blank you it's the American League 598 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: Championship Series of Toronto is not in and the Astros 599 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: are in. I'll take the White Sox, Yankees, raised Blue Jays, 600 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: Red Sox, you know, any of those so uh and 601 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: to win the World Series Dodgers. Right, yeah, come on, 602 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean we're both like. This is like that, you know, 603 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: this is like that Saturday Night Live skit with the Bears, 604 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: the Bears, Dodgers, Dodgers. Yes, exactly, the Dodgers. I know. 605 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: What about the individual stuff, Now, some of these guys 606 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: are names were not that familiar with. We'll start with 607 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: the American League MVP. The two favorites are show hey, 608 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: oh Tony, and a lot of people have Mike Trout 609 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: as a co favorite, always coming off an injury. You've 610 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: got Byron buckst into the Twins getting a lot of yeah, 611 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: a lot of love. I've been reading about him. Uh, yeah, 612 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: he's a name that's he's been around for a little bit. Uh. 613 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: There's another guy from the Chicago White Sox named Lewis. 614 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: Uh is it Robert? Is that it looks like Robert 615 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: Perhaps it's some weird way. Uh. He's an outfielder from Cuba. 616 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him. Yeah, I don't know 617 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: much about him either, but he's supposed to be like 618 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,720 Speaker 1: a total stud, monster at the plate and all that stuff. 619 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: So so he's someone's getting a lot of love from 620 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: the the gambling world. Another name the guy came up 621 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: last year with Tampa Bay wander Franco Okay, the shortstop 622 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: named l Patron from the Dominican Republic, and he's he 623 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: got off to a great start last year, so that 624 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: he's also Yeah, I remember seeing his highlights last season. Yeah. 625 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: So my theory on the m v P is pretty simple. 626 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: You gotta be on a good team to win the 627 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: m v P. So I'm gonna generally speak. I know 628 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: there are exceptions like Otani and whatnot, but I'm gonna 629 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you gotta be had a good team. 630 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: And the Angels are like a middling team and they 631 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: don't really like to give it back to back, belly 632 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: to belly. I'm gonna take Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Who was 633 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: close last year. So I'm gonna take the Blue Jay's 634 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero. There's also other names on this list. You've 635 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: got Raphael Devers of the Red Sox and Judge Bobachter 636 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: old Buddy Corey. See you're the Rangers now that cheating 637 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: a stro Carlos Carea is on the odds, Gian Carlos Standon, 638 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: Jesse Winker who's in Seattle now one of the reasons. 639 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: I like the Mariners. Anybody pop there, anyone you want 640 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: to go with, you wanna, You're gonna go with Byron Buxton, 641 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: all right, sucking up to the people in Minnesota white women. Well, 642 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: he was the best player in baseball on a per 643 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 1: game basis last season. I think that with that lineup 644 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: around him, he's going to continue to blow things up 645 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: there in a good way, all right. Now. In the 646 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: National League, the favorite is Juan Soto of the Washington Nationals. 647 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: He's got that nattitude. Ronald the Coner Jr. At seven 648 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: o one. You've got Bryce Harper at ten to one, 649 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: the reigning m v P. And then there's a bunch 650 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: of Dodgers after that, Mookie Bets, Freddie free Men, Trade Turner, 651 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 1: you go down. And then then you got the other names. 652 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor's on their Manny Machado, the Padres, Matt Olsen 653 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: of the Braves, Peter Alonso, the Mets. So those are 654 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: the top choices for the m v P award. Boy 655 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 1: Mookie Bets has actually not been that great the last 656 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: the last year, he didn't play that great. Last year. 657 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: He was quietly dealing with a nagging injury. Yeah, so 658 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: hopefully he's all the way back healthy. But I could 659 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: totally see Freddie Freeman taking this. Yeah, I was leaning 660 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: towards Freeman, but back to back. They don't like to 661 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: usually go back to back. I'm gonna take I'm gonna 662 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: go off the board a little bit. Although he's listed here, 663 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: trade Turner mark plug guy, gonna steal some basses. He 664 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: hits for a high average. He won the batting title 665 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: right last year. I think he did. I believe he 666 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 1: won the batting title last year with the Nationals. Mostly 667 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 1: in a little bit with the Dodgers. Uh so, yeah, 668 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: I I I'm going I think Turner is gonna be 669 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: a really exciting player. Is a spark plug guy. He 670 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: really took a ride on a vomit comment in the 671 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: playoffs for the Dodgers, unfortunately. But it's the regular season. 672 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:18,439 Speaker 1: So that's my pick and I'm sticking to it. Cy 673 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: Young American League, Cy Young, anybody anybody stand out? You've 674 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: got the usual suspects, Garrett Cole, Lucas Giolito, the White Sox, 675 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: the Bebe, Shane Bieber of the Guardians, Robbie Ray who's 676 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: now on the Mariners, Otani Verlander, I'm gonna toss the 677 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: name out. How about Jose Barrio so the Blue Jays, 678 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: that's not a bad pick. I'm gonna go Otani here 679 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 1: so you can go Tani. Yeah, there's a lot of 680 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: a lot of love for Otani, right, National League, Cy 681 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 1: Young and again usual chalk favorite at the top. You 682 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: got Max Scherzer who's the favorite from the Mets. Corbin 683 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: Burns very good picture for the brew Where is Jacob 684 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: de Gram, Carlos Radon?

This is Sandy Alcantera of the Marlins is 687 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: listed here at fourteen to one. What do you think 688 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 1: about sers health? Do you think he'll be okay throughout 689 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 1: the entire season? No, no, no, always been on pictures 690 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: getting hurt. If he's not hurt, I like him there 691 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: even as the favorite with the Metropolitans. A you take 692 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: Sures or I'm gonna take Corbin Burns the Brewers. This 693 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: guy is nasty. And the pitching that's the strength of 694 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: the Brewers. They got good starting pitching, which is that 695 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: really a big deal these days because starters don't go 696 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: the third time through the rotation. So does it really 697 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: matter that much? Not really. Yeah, I tend to agree 698 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: with you on that.

And I 704 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: don't base any of my opinions off the scouting reports 705 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: because they're almost always wrong.
