21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: The Giliants have just won the Dodgers ground into a

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: double play to end it. Eight seven San Francisco Dodgers

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: have lost seventh straight.

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say one of the more entertaining

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: games of the year in Major League Baseball. Looks like

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: the Giants were gonna just roll over the Dodgers tonight.

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: They are up eight to two in the fifth inning,

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: but a big error opens the door for a Dodger comeback.

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Dodgers have first and second, one out in the ninth

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: and Will Smith up, who is having a phenomenal season,

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: sitting three point thirty two for four on the night already,

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: and he grounds into a six four to three or

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: five to four to three double play to end the game.

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Dodgers now lose seven in a row. Clearly they are

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: tanking for the number one pick in the MLB draft.

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: Is I don't know who it is. Probably some short

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: stop out of No. Tre Sherman Oaks, Notre Dame as

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: somebody's coming out who can also pitch. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah,

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: the clearly that's who it is. That's what it's gonna be.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: But wow, this kind of run, you know, And here's

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: the thing is that in Major League Baseball, it's really

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: hard to say that there are must wins in July,

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: right because I get right, there's no must wins in July.

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: But here they are, you know, just a few days

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: before the All Star Game.

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: And they got swept by three in LA by Houston.

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: And then they got swept three at Milwaukee another.

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: Milwaukee has never swept the Dodgers in Milwaukee ever.

49
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: And now they're starting in a three game series at

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: San Francisco to finish this quote first half of the season.

51
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: You know, against against your biggest rival. I there is

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: a category where this is a regular season must win game, right,

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: because you want to be able to stop the backsliding

54
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: go into the All Star Game on on an uptick

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: and not and not sit around and say, boy, over

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: the course of the last week, we gave away our lead.

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: And you know what I mean, we were comfortably up

58
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: over the Dodgers and the Giants and the Potters by

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: like eight nine games. And now suddenly, hey, the Giants

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: and Potters could be within two or three games by

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: the time we get to the All Star break. By too.

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: If the Giants get a sweep this weekend, they already

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: got win one of the weekend show. Hey o, TONI

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: starting pitcher on Saturday afternoon.

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was kind of a must win game, a

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: regular season must win game for the Dodgers, because hey,

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: you don't want to go into the and give the

68
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Giants life. Hey we're rolling here. But that's exactly what's happened.

69
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: Now seven in a row, and I think to Dodgers

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: it merits and it goes along with what we talked

71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: about a few days ago. Right when the Dodgers lost

72
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: three in a row, Okay, everything's fine. They lose six

73
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: now to the Brewer is now seven in a row.

74
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: The Dodgers just as good as they are, as good

75
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: a lineup as they are, I just don't fear them

76
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: like I did last year. They just don't have that

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: air of, hey, let's put up as good a fight

78
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: as we can and maybe a miracle will happen. Like

79
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of what it was last year, or Tawny

80
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: going fifty to fifty and Freeman and Bets and everything

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: else going along with it. No matter what who got hurt,

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: no matter what kind of starting pitching they didn't have,

83
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: they still found a way. The bullpen always came through.

84
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: It was an amazing year. And now they're better on

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: paper than they were last year. But they just they

86
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: just don't have that air of invincibility like they had

87
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: even in the NLCS last year, when I'm sitting here

88
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: and say, okay, well, hey, can the Mets win. Yeah,

89
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: but they need a couple of things to happen. Split

90
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: the first couple of games, gotta win both in New York.

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: It didn't happen. Okay. I was still at the point

92
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: where I was like, man, we can win. But yeah,

93
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm really expecting the Dodgers to win the series. And

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: they were.

95
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: Winning all bullpen games plural in the NLCS against the Mets,

96
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: and after.

97
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: That, yeah games where Dave Roberts at list if we lose,

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: we lose, but you're giving a game on Yeah, I'm good,

99
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm good. God doesn't matter. But I still expected them

100
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: to win even though I was, you know, with ever

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: I was. I was lighting candles for the Mets, obviously,

102
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: but like this year, I just I just don't have that.

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: And now, look, nobody needs the All Star break more

104
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: than Mookie Bets, does you know? And and you know,

105
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: we talked about this earlier in the week that you know,

106
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: you don't know what the stress of the position is

107
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: on him, because he's not really playing well he needs

108
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: a right.

109
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: An outfielder anymore. He's the starting short step.

110
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Dodgers need some kind of a recent the

111
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: boy they need to that's really good going into the

112
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: break end. Maybe it's Otani pitching three innings tomorrow and

113
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: they win. Bubby Boy, they need something.

114
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: But look at the schedule. As soon as they come

115
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: out of the break, it's Milwaukee for three, Minnesota for three,

116
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: Boston for three. Red Socks right now have won eight

117
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 3: in a row. What As far as the fear factor,

118
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: that isn't there for this year's Dodgers despite the great

119
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: start to this twenty twenty five season. Part of it

120
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: is the long slumps for the top three in the order.

121
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: I mentioned not that long ago was a three for

122
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 3: thirty slump for show Heyo Tani. Freddy Freeman has looked

123
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: really frustrated at the plate and his average has gone

124
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: down below three hundred. You mentioned Mookie Betts, who at

125
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: least got a couple of hits and a couple of

126
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: runs scored and stayed in the game despite being hit

127
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: by a pitch on the leg. But the top three

128
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: in the order, who you count on to be the

129
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: late inning guys eventually one of them's probably going to

130
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: get in at bat and keep things going. And they're

131
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: the best at coming from behind to win. They've taken

132
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: their turns on long slumps. I will say one thing

133
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: that made it really interesting in the ninth inning, the

134
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: Dodgers had very recently acquired or called up Estyuri Ruiz,

135
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: who's one of the fastest guys in baseball with the A's.

136
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, he led the American League

137
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: in stolen bases with sixty seven. And this is a

138
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: guy who did not have five hundred at bats in

139
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: that season and still had sixty seven steals. Rookie Betts

140
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: gets a single with one out in the ninth and

141
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 3: they put this speeds to Ruiz at first base with

142
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: a great defensive catcher, Patrick Bailey that the Giants had.

143
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 3: That's the matchup, and he steals second fairly easily, and

144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: the Dodgers got the walk from Freeman after that, but

145
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: Will Smith ground soon into a double play to end

146
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: the game. Anyway, I looked it up Styuri Ruiz, who

147
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: taddled He's still in his twenties but has had a

148
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: lot of Your League time as well, believe it or not.

149
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: In the minors in about six hundred games. He had

150
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: almost three hundred stone eighths. This guy is, to say

151
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: the least fast and made it an interesting ninth tonight.

152
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Now everything is fight. He's the new Billy Hamilton. Yes too, Yeah,

153
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: he's the new Billy Hamilton. Can't get a roster spot.

154
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: You know what he can do, and he can do that,

155
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: But does he earn his way onto the field enough?

156
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: By the way, the Toronto Blue Jays were ahead, I

157
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,560

00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: Look, Friday night is a fun night ride. I always

164
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: go to the big line from the newsroom with Jeff

165
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Daniels when there was a big episode where he had

Speaker 1: have we have a problem with the climate going on.

173
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: How can we solve this? And he just says, there

174
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: is no solving it. It's it's done. Where it's we

175
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: can't solve it. Yeah, yeah, I know that we're in

176
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: trouble with it now, but what can we do to

00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: hopefully reverse some of this? Because that's what I'm telling you.

178
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing, it's it's over. We've ruined our chance,

179
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: so we we're ruining the planet. And Jeff Daniels says, well,

180
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, Jim, it's a Friday, so we like to

181
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: leave people with a little bit of a positive spin

182
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: going into the weekend. You know, what can you tell

183
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: us about it? He goes, I wish there was anything.

184
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: There's nothing right. It was really funny. So with the

185
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: big positive spin being a Friday, and I always think

186
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: about that on a Friday night, I want to leave

187
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: with something, ilse do that? Sure? And I know when

188
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: you say you have a CFL update, it's gonna be something.

189
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: And so again, as I said, gambling CFL up now

190
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: let me.

191
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: Say, first off, until I looked it up, I did

192
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: not realize the Canadian Football League is in week six.

193
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's well, yeah, and they go all the

194
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: way to Thanksgiving. It's like it's like a thirty seven week.

195
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: I think it's like a soccer season. They play like

196
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: forty five or forty seven games and then the top

197
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: two teams move up in the bottom two, right.

198
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: It's twenty one weeks and then and then the playoffs.

199
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: It's I mean kind of like the NHL in the

200
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: old days where we only have six to eight teams

201
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: in the league. Anybody, everybody keeps playing each other and

202
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: then they'll play each other in the postseason.

203
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's been It started in the beginning of June,

204
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: end of end of May, right, and I think preseason

205
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: games in May and yes, yeah, and I think it

206
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: goes to Thanksgiving, like I think that's that's usually when

207
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: the Great Cup is. It's like round Thanksgiving.

208
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: Oh here it is November sixteen before the Thanksgiving they go.

209
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: They they they span three seasons and I mean weather seasons.

210
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: They start in spring, they go through the summer. Don't

211
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: they go four seasons? They go spring into summer. Falling

212
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: into winter. That's how long the CFL see four seasons

213
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: they play.

214
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: And for the for the record, they do have eight

215
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: teams in the league. Anyway, this weekend, and again I'm

216
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: happy to say out loud, I did not realize this

00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: The league doesn't even have games on Boxing Day.

228
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: What about Gretzky's Birthday, That's a natural holiday. They play

229
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: there too, don't they.

230
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: And they don't celebrate the trade of Gretzky Day. That's

231
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: the whole No, no, no, no, it's Gretzky's birthdays. Come on,

232
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: let's be let's be.

233
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: In some people.

234
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: So right, we're in the eleven o'clock hour on a

235
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: late Friday night in Saskatchewan, and they were due to

236
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: be hosting the Friday night CFL game. Turns out, according

237
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: to the Public Safety agency up there, there are fifty

238
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: seven active wildfires in that province, including fourteen that are

239
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: not contained. So when I saw there was a delay

240
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: of tonight's kickoff, I figure, oh, it's Canada. Maybe there's

241
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: some sort of severe weather or lightning or summer thunderstorms

242
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: or something.

243
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: No, it's air quality.

244
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: People were at the game ready for kickoff, and they

245
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: didn't have enough of a pass for the weather protocol

246
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: to actually kick the game off. It turned out they

247
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: waited three hours and forty five minutes and said no

248
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: game tonight. Oh my three hours and forty five minutes.

249
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: During the delay, while our show is on, the Saskatchewan

250
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: team is tweeting out thank you to our amazing fans

251
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: for your incredible pays. We have, our forecasting models, are

252
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: in house meteorologists. We thought the smoke would clear and

253
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: we could play tonight, that the air quality would be

254
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: at an acceptable level. But the wind has died down

255
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: and so it's not at an acceptable level to play.

256
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: They were saying if the air quality gets better tonight

257
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: by ten forty five, we're gonna warm up and kick

258
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: the game off at eleven fifteen in.

259
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Who wait, eleven fifteen to a start post time they're

260
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna start, I guess.

261
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 3: Their mountain, But yeah, it would be for the locals,

262
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: and eleven fifteen kickoff tonight, and then they've announced sorry,

263
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: it never came to an acceptable number the air quality,

264
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: and so tickets for tonight are valid for two o'clock

265
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: to our afternoon.

266
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: See you.

267
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: Then my immediate question is, wait a minute, So the

268
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: air is just automatically good at two o'clock on a Saturday.

269
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the air will be fine tomorrow. Yeah,

270
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: what do you want?

271
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm writing it down in pen. The CFL

272
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,320

Speaker 3: and then Edmonton's home game on Sunday night, and.

275
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: There is So that's why an update. They don't want

276
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: to have these because you know, I just read this

277
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: is actually a pretty big game. Like these are the

278
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: first and second place teams of the division, like Gary, Yeah,

279
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,280

282
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: own window. We can't put it on at night. We

283
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: can't give an extra four hours for the air.

284
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: Now they're not playing it opposite the Hamilton game that

285
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,000

286
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,679

Speaker 3: Apparently it's on like write it in pen and those

289
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: people with tickets, by all memes show up tomorrow. I

290
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: know you waited three hours and forty five minutes, not

291
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: for the rain to stop, not for like a lightning

292
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: delay or anything, just for the smoke too clear and

293
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: the games ago for tomorrow.

294
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: Now they have a different way of looking at the

295
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: AQY because the anilyz Yeah yeah, it says their AQY

296
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: was recorded a ten plus, which is an extreme risk.

297
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: But like here in the United States, like if you

298
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: get up to like thirty is where you get them

299
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: to the four like it's it's top thirty four, you.

300
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: Need to get down to eight like during warm ups

301
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: and then we're go.

302
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: Oh, because the exchange rate like thirty years ten or eight.

303
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: Once you crossed the border. Sure it's not say.

304
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so wow, they've delayed the game like three

305
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: or four times. They were gonna play, They're gonna play.

306
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: They were gonna kick off at eleven fifteen tonight and

307
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: have it still be the one game in the league tonight.

308
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: That would have been sucking. Man. Oh yeah, I would love.

309
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: To know what the network did that was going to

310
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,840

00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: What are we going to Joe Cap highlights?

318
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: Anybody got the Joe Cap highlights?

319
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: We're scrambling to talk to Doug Flutie to take a

320
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: look back on his run in the CFL. So keep

321
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: it right here that remember that.

322
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,520

323
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: the clips that we own the rights to that. Who

324
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: cares show the lights of the nineteenth I can't imagine

325
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: what they were struggling.

326
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: Do you think they have like CFL Films presents like

327
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: they did like we did it like they would show

328
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: like the yearbooks of all the team Steve Sable, Sure, yeah,

329
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: Instead of Steve Sable, it's saying Ryan Reynolds narrating it.

330
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: It's going to be the Rough Riders year again or

331
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: something ultra positive. Even they just finished, you know, a

332
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: nine and forty two schedule.

333
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can't do it in a half hour

334
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: because the season is twenty five weeks lost. Likes hour

335
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: and a half, you know.

336
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: That is what people said why it was so hard

337
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: for the Blue Jays to make the playoffs so much

338
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: in the early days with the extrageer eight ninety wins

339
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: was really like seventy eight when you came support, and

340
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: so therefore they weren't making the Major League Baseball standings.

341
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: One now Vegas has to pull that game down. I

342
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: will put it back up from tomorrow at two o'clock.

343
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: That's just strange. So because of air quality, no game

344
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: in the cflight. But apparently everything is fine for two

345
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,480

382
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,240

383
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: because you know the Mets have like needed something like that.

Speaker 1: soft rock kind of band, right, that's what they are.

397

00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: and he drops it. So it's like, okay, mister Met

405
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: drops the tambourine, all right, that's fine. So he gets a.

406
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: Third base for the Mets.

407
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: Exactly better than Viente's become on Viennes. That a big

408
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: hit tonight. Stop stoping being so uh. But mister Met

409
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: picks up the tambourine and he starts playing it. Except

410
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: as he's playing it, he's walking. He just walks off

411
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: the stage and falls. He hits a he hits a

412
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: part of the stage. It's like a big cross where

413
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: the stage goes in both directions and he's walking to

414
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: the middle and he starts down there and he just

415
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: walks off the stage and falls. No, they help him

416
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: back up, but he gets back up right.

417
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: Quicker than I imagined by that. And I guess there's

418
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: so much foam on the costume. Man hoped landing or

419
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: something like that. He's got the mister met has this

420
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 3: huge baseball head, you.

421
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, yeah, And he gets up pretty quick, gets

422
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: back on, gives the fist pump, and not too long

423
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: after Mark Fiento's hit a big three run double rights

424
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: stolendor homerd won Soto homer. The Mets were down three

425
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: to one in the eighth and they beat the Royals.

426
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: This is our grimmest moment of last year. He has

427
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: sacrificed him that somebody said on Twitter he sacrificed himself

428
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: for the Mets. Mister Mets sacrificed himself to have this

429
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: moment so the Mets could now hit a big jump

430
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: off point for the rest of the season.

431
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: So repeat, when the grimmest thing occurred, Where were we

432
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: in the season and how is it attached to a

433
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: good look for the Mets.

434
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh, well, you know, I'm glad you asked the Mets

435
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: were not playing very well last year for most of

436
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: the season.

437
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: Wasn't half way through like this, No, no, no, no, no,

438
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 3: we were.

439
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: We were earlier in the season. We were in oh,

440
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: I think it was in the end of May, all right,

441
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: and they Grimace comes out and throws the first pitch

442
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: and after that the Mets sweep the Padres and they

443
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: hadn't swept the Padres in like almost twenty years. They

444
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: won like seven games in a row. And it was, oh,

445
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: my goodness, grimm it was because of Grimace. Like Grimace

446
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: throws out the first pitch, and Grimace starts getting on

447
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: all these commercials, and they give him his own seat

448
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: at City Field, like where he sits. Like they painted

449
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: a seat and it's it's one seat seat that's on

450
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: the city field. It's a different color, and people go

451
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: there to take picture of the seat before the game.

452
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: It's like a pilgrimage, yes, twelve four. It's like going

453
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: to Stonehenge, like I gotta take a picture, I gotta

454
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: take the Grimace seat. And and you know the big

455
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: run and of course that's something that the Mets jumped

456
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: on last year, and hey, the power of Grimace. And

457
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: now Grimace has a Mets hat on it everywhere he goes.

458
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: And there's video of a guy dresses Grimace jumping on

459
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: the seven line train and everybody's partying with Grimace, like

460
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: Grimace became a thing. And if you know, all good

461
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: teams have that right field whatever, it is, that occurrence

462
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: that gives them juice through the season. And they were

463
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: looking and I kept telling, hey, listen, I could put

464
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: it off for David Sterns. Dude, we've lost twelve out

465
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: of seventeen, twelve out of fourteen. Bring Grimace back to

466
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: throughout the first picture. No, maybe, Now this is it,

467
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: mister Met falling at the Lumineer's concert, sacrificing himself. The

468
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: Mets go on a big run tonight in the eighth

469
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: and ninth, and that's what we needed.

470
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 3: So, just like last year, this huge winning streak of

471
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: winning twelve or fourteen, for example, is going to occur

472
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 3: for the rest of the month, And just like last year,

473
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: Sean Mania is going to get win after win in

474
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: his spot in the rotation.

475
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Manaiah Montes, Siever, Kuzman, Danac oh yeah yeah,

476
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah yeah, all of them. It's seven Reno yeah, jee, Hey,

477
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: hey talked at the eights, can't wait to get rid

478
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: of Separino and the Mets might get out.

479
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: Have you seen his home versus road Yikes? He pitched

480
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: against Matthew bec Matthew X met Max Scherzer tonight several

481
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 3: Rena loss. They were down seven to nothing in the

482
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 3: sixth and Sacramento. He's he's two and eleven for the

483
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 3: A's this season and Max Shermer. But Schurezer, by the way,

484
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: got the win and things got a hand. It's frit Shermer, Max,

485
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: things got out of hand. After Scherzer was out of

486
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: the game. He pitched six innings ninety pitches for the

487
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 3: Blue Jays.

488
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: Here, so so things have happened. Now all we knew

489
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: was mister met to embarrassingly fall during illumination.

490
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 3: Really creatively are connecting these two things?

491
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: Well, because I look at it this way, I could

492
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: either do that or I could just sit here and go,

493
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: how the hell does mister Met not catch the tambourine

494
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: and then fall off the stage like he's v Neil?

495
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: How does he do that?

496
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: It's become kind of like that Rocky's clip that went

497
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: firal this week, like how many errors can you make?

498
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: On one play.

499
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: This is a mass scout who's not even in the

500
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: game or in this case, even in the concert, and

501
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: multiple errors essentially one play.

502
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: And actually mister met put this tweet out following the game.

503
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: Don't worry, I don't Aphelia too bad because thanks for

504
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: having the illumineers. Okay, great, so miss we know mister

505
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: met Is. Okay, we know mister Mets. All right, it's all.

506
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: It's all good. Now. We talked to Rick Bucker last

507
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: hour on the show, and we talked about Lebron and

508
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: the chance of getting traded, the big ESPN story today,

509
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: and Jannis has had a bit of an interesting last

510
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: twenty four hour. He doese a podcast in which because

511
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: you look Jannis. A month ago, about more six weeks ago,

512
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: there were reports that he instructed his team to, hey,

513
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: put out feelers and see if there's any place he

514
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: could get to that give him a better chance to

515
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: win a championship. Since that has happened, the Milwaukee Bucks

516
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: have scurried to make him happy. They've given Damian Lillard

517
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars to go away. They go get

518
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Miles Turner and free agency. Hey, we're doing things. When

519
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: he was asked what was going on with his playing situation,

520
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: he said, he's got people all the time telling him

521
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: go to the Knicks, right, which, yeah, keep telling him that. No,

522
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: this is not about the Knicks. This is that's just me,

523
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: he said it. So I had to probably got to

524
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: be accurate. I can't lie.

525
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 3: So did he have, perhaps Jason, a response to going

526
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 3: to the New York area to play in the NBA?

527
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: You know, Steve, that's not important. What's important, is what

528
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say next. That's it's not important. It's not important.

529
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Is that. When they asked him, Okay, are you going?

530
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: You know what, what's the deal? Are you going to

531
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: stay in Milwaukee? And he says probably. I love Milwaukee.

532
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: We'll see. That's why I would say, no, no, no, what

533
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: about it? Well no, no, wait to get Johannes. I

534
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: gotta ask you again. You gotta give me one answer. Okay,

535
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: are you staying in Milwaukee or not? And his answer

536
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: was I love Milwaukee. Probably, we'll see.

537
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 3: Did he have an equally said ringing endorsement for going

538
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: to the New York area?

539
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Again, Steve, that's not important, right that, That's that's not important, right,

540
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: What's important? Is the is the point that I'm gonna

541
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: make here is that.

542
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 3: Look, I feel like you keep eating a line from

543
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 3: the movie Airplant. That's not important?

544
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: Important right now? Hospital?

545
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 3: What is it? Is it a big building with the

546
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: nurses and doc chits. That's not important?

547
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: Giannis? Who is it? He's not playing for the next

548
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: but that's not.

549
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: He has, by the way, three years left on his

550
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: contract with Milwaukee. He is in no way a free

551
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 3: agent anytime soon. No.

552
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: But the whole thing is is, here's Giannis. And this

553
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: tells you why there haven't been any trades yet in

554
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: the off season for the NBA, right because all we

555
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: were told by many experts was this trade season is

556
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: going to be banatas right way to be crazy. But

557
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: we're so. What we do is we need the one

558
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: trade to go through and then you're gonna start seeing

559
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: more trades. It's a different time now in the NBA

560
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: because stars are waiting until teams let the dust settle

561
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: in free agency. You know, players want stars want to see, Okay,

562
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: who did this team bring in? Who did they not?

563
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be on this team if they trade for

564
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: me and they look and see what the best position is.

565
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Because going to the days where they go, yes, here,

566
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: I want to be now, filling around me, and the

567
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: team says, oh, sorry, we can't fill in. We you

568
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: know we we we got you. Oh what do you

569
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: may now?

570
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: Now?

571
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you can't wait. They were for four years.

572
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: Just waiting for the Las Vegas Summer League to really

573
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 3: get going. Yeah, we signed the first Tyler cole It game.

574
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: We can make an evaluation.

575
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: So now we're.

576
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Gonna get busy that type of thing. But this is

577
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: why is that what we've seen in the NBA the

578
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: last five years. If a star wants to get traded,

579
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: he's gotta be the bad guy and say I want out,

580
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: because that's what works. Because here's Giannis trying to kind

581
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: of straddle both sides of the fence. No, I love Milwaukee.

582
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: I'll probably stay, but we'll see, like I don't know,

583
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go maybe.

584
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 3: Often they get to choose their next place. This is

585
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: one of every time it happens every year it happens

586
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: in the NBA, especially late season, somebody gets to pick, Oh,

587
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 3: that team's going to the playoffs. I want to go there.

588
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 3: And there's such a thing as a buyout, which means

589
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 3: somebody has to pay and the player still collects. So

590
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 3: the players have been in a really good position. Don't

591
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 3: you agree that some people have made this comment that

592
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: maybe the player empowerment thing, that's maybe we're switching away

593
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: from that. Maybe it's the trend away from that in

594
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: the NBA these days.

595
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah no, because look, it sucks that a player has

596
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: to come out and say this is untenable, I don't

597
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: want to be here anymore, and that's the only way

598
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: they get out, right. It sucks that they got to

599
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: be the bad guy, but this is what they have

600
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: to do because this is how stars get traded. Because

601
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: teams are no longer going to say say, we can't

602
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: have to the ground strong with our star player, so

603
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna look for a trade, right because if you

604
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: can't make a trade, you're stuck. You got a guy

605
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: playing for you that you tried to trade and you

606
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: couldn't trade. The stars not interested in being there. The

607
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: fans are upset that you try to trade a star player.

608
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: So teams are just getting hold onto their stars. The

609
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: only way a star, a big star player, gets traded

610
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: as if he is the bad guy, it says I

611
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: want out because who are the three biggest stars got

612
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: traded in the last few years. Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard,

613
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: James Harden twice. Okay, and these are the three guys

614
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: that said I've want out, right, and Luca got traded

615
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season two. But you but

616
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 1: when you get to the off season and players have

617
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: to decide what they want, these three guys all wanted out.

618
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and trying to arrange things recently.

619
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Luca never wanted to get trade. He wanted to say,

620
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: cried when they traded.

621
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: He thought he was due for the Max extension, the

622
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: Super Mags extension and staying and he would be a

623
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: lifetime Dallas Maverick like de Devinsky was.

624
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: But Kevin Durant wanted out, James Harden wanted out twice,

625
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: and Damian Lillard wanted out. What did they all do?

626
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: They all had to say I want out. Jimmy Butler

627
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: the same way, right, he was unhappy. Finally he had

628
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: that this is it, I'm done, and the Miami he

629
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: traded him. But it happened with Lillard. He had to

630
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: say he wanted out because the Blazers weren't trading him.

631
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant had to say he wanted out, got traded.

632
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: James Harden twice has had to say I really don't

633
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: want to be here. Okay, we'll trade you. That's how

634
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: it gets done. And I hate that that's the strategy,

635
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: but that's what it is. Why is Lebron not traded

636
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: yet because he hasn't said I want out? Why is

637
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: Yiannis still on the Bucks hasn't said I want out. Now,

638
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: you gotta say that and then you can make it happen.

639
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: But there's players that don't want to be the bad guy,

640
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: don't want things to be bad. Giannis doesn't want to

641
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: look like, oh, I'm leaving a city that I say

642
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: I love. Some players are still nervous about the optics

643
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: and the perception around them. Lebron is going to wait

644
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: until the last moment until he says, Okay, I want out,

645
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: which I'm telling you could happen by the end of July.

646
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: We talked about it throughout the show tonight. But you

647
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: have to be okay with being the bad guy, and

648
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: not every superstar is. But you go back to all

649
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: the stars that got traded, that wanted out, they all

650
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: had to say it and say, this situation is untenable.

651
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: I want out, and the team says, okay, now, we'll

652
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: make it happen for you. There's no blowback from us.

653
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: We know we have to get rid of you know,

654
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: our fans aren't gonna revolt if anything. It's about you. Now,

655
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: we'll try to make something where we get something whatever

656
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: we can for you. But that's what's going to force it.

657
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Giannis isn't gonna get traded unless he asks. Lebron's not

658
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: going to get traded unless he asks.

659
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 3: But in the interest of another truth nugget related to this,

660
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: when Jannis was as so going to the New York

661
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: Area team instead.

662
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: Steve, this is not important.

663
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 3: I believe the exact answer was spelled nah man, which means.

664
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Not at this hour, is what it means. That's what

665
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: Nanny's like. It could happen, but not at this hour

666
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: because it was too late. And I'm sure you know, mister,

667
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: we'll make that happen.

668
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, and grim.

669
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Teama, mister met shows hey, deeps the horn. Giannis gets in.

670

Speaker 1: I'm getting the driver to the airport with.

671
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: The old bullpen cart that could just ride it around.

672
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: Can you even see in the rear view mirror no,

673
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: I had to take it out. My head was.

674
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: Would like to see Giannis and mister Matt Bullpeker.

724
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: He's actually away. Out of roughly eighty golfers, he's in

Speaker 3: the top twenty five.

726

Speaker 3: It's only the first rout. Let's not get crazy by well,

731
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: but this golf course, state Line, Nevada, is located literally

732
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 3: one walking block from the nearest casino, right on the

733
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: border with South Lake Tahoe, California.

734
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: Well, then forget it. Barkley's never going to finish a round.

735
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna get tired.

736
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: For the golf course is on the Nevada side. He

737
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: could just be gambling in between holes, like going back

738
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 3: and forth. It's that close to the four casinos there

739
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 3: at the corner. The Mets, though, have a better chance

740
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 3: of winning frankly eight three their comeback final at Kansas

741
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 3: City tonight, So the Mets are only a half game

742
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: back of Philly, which lost four to two at San Diego.

743
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,800

745
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: seven against the Dodgers, who've lost seven straight. Shoho Tney

746
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 3: did hit his thirty second homer, by the way, the

747
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 3: Phils Kyle Schwarber hit his thirtieth homer of the season,

748
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: but cal Rawley had two homers thirty eight for the year.

749
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 3: Now Seattle I wanted Detroit twelve to three, Yankees eleven

750
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,560

Speaker 3: to four. Red Sox have won eighth straight Milwaukee one,

753
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: it's fifth in a row, and Minnesota beat Paul Skenes

754
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh two to one. The Pirates have lost seven straight.

Speaker 1: This is the best thing I can say about the camp,

773
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: Probably the best thing I said about the Cowboys since

774
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said out, We're all in, which means I'm

775
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: not gonna sign anybody. Okay, that's all in. I mean

776
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: all the all the money's in my pocket, That's what

777
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean by all in.

778
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 3: They had a losing record and earned it last year.

779
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh, it's not gonna matter that much in

780
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: the win loss record because the Cowboys roster is kind

781
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: of thin. But I expect their offense to be really

782
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: bleeping good this year. Man dak is back and it's

783
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: a different year Already. He's talked about the the chemistry

784
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: with CD Lamb, who's one of the top five receivers

785
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, George Pickens in the honeymoon season that

786
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna have with Dallas. Usually guys that have problems

787
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: in one place, they go to a new location. That

788
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: first year is always the best one, right, it's a

789
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: new place. I got to prove myself over to my teammates.

790
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: I want to get paid at some point. Then the

791
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: other years and things kind of fall back to where

792
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: they were. But Pickens is incredibly talented. Going in as

793
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: a clear number two to CD Lamb, He's gonna draw

794
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: a great coverage. And oh, by the way, we forget

795
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty three when he played a whole

796
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: season with him, Jake Ferguson was fantastics right. I have

797
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: a great year last year, but with Dak for all

798
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three because one of the best tight

799
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: ends in the NFL. They're running backs, so Jags, but

800
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You are built to throw the football, right.

801
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: I like Javonte Williams a little bit, it's okay, but

802
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: they are built to throw the football. And this is

803
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: the best top three weapons that Dak has had in

804
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: years in Dallas with CD Lamb and George Pickens and

805
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,959
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson. I throw the football six seven hundred times,

806
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: run the ball four times a game. Only when you're

807
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: you're on the one yard line, run the ball, throw

808
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: it all day. You're Dak Prescott driven, and he's got

809
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: great weapons. I expect to be a big year offensive league. Now,

810
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: is this going to mean there's going to be more

811
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: than nine and eight. No, this is what the Cowboys

812
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: are because their roster is thin. But offensively, I expect

813
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: them to have a big.

814
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 3: Year in the last six years for Cowboys football. When

815
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 3: Dak plays, the offense produces.

816
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how it goes right. Again, the record doesn't

817
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: really and then the playoffs coming back's a different guy.

818
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: But regular season I expect.

819
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: Big yeah, like thirty touchdowns, ten interceptions type of season.

820
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then ten completions thirty interceptions in the playoffs. Yeah.

821
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 3: But he's had seasons averaging at least two hundred and

822
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: seventy yards passing a game, sometimes three hundred a game.

823
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: So when he's got full seasons, I see where you're

824
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: going with the offense, at least talking about the Cowboys now.

825
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: When it comes to the All Star Game, Jacob Mazerowski

826
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 1: was named as an injury or replacement today for Matthew

827
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: Boyd because he's going to pitch this weekend and be

828
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: unavailable for the All Star Game too. So the Milwaukee

829
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: kids in he is in despite the fact he has

830
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: started just game. He's appeared in five games in his

831
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: MLB career and he's made the All Star team. Right,

832
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: it's a first guys who pitched their entire careers. Now,

833
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: I can't make it, can't make it. I am absolutely

834
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: okay with this, right. It's not like he was named

835
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: as named to the team right away and taking it

836
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: away from a guy who deserves it. He's an injury

837
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: or placement. We got a new guy named every eight minute, Steve,

838
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: I know, trying to keep up with it. It's a week. Yeah,

839
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: but you know Jack Wheeler is out today. I'm a

840
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: big proponent of put the people in the All Star Game.

841
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: The fans want to see and this kid who throws

842
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hours schemes last year, Yeah, everybody

843
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: wants to see him. I want to see this kid

844
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: pitch in the All Star He's he's hit one hundred

845
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: on the radar gun like ninety times already in his

846
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: five games. So yeah, I'm absolutely not only okay. I

847
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: want to see him pitch. I want to see what

848
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: he can do.

849
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 3: I've already heard someone say, so he's gonna start. Can

850
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 3: we see him start? Standing by?

851
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: Hey? Can you tell me, Steve, he's four and one

852
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: this year, who's the only team he lost to. Do

853
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: you know that top of your head. The only tim

854
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: who lost a g know, not the Dodgers. You know, No,

855
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: it's not no. He beat the Dodgers druck out twelve,

856
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: and you're all right. He lost to the Mets. That's right.

857
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: Plank Show is next for Steve. I'm Jason Fox.
