The 71 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: mascot is there in the middle of a river when 72 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: a big brown bear approaches, and you can see in 73 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: the video they're going, Okay, hey, guys, we gotta move. 74 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: We got a bear, gotta move, gotta move, and and 75 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: Hayden gives up the the Rodden reel and they all 76 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: start walking, not slowly, but not quickly across the river 77 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: because you know, the bear is here looking for salmon 78 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: or some kind of food. And I'm watching this and 79 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: the crack and mascot has the closest call because obviously 80 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the mascot is dressed like the kraken and trying to 81 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: walk through a river, and the bear starts moving towards it. 82 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: And there's at one point where the bear starts really 83 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: scampering towards the mascot, and I can't get over the 84 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: fact the mascot just continues to walk and doesn't panic 85 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: and run, because I know the whole thing.

Here Arion Smith is the big 179 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: breakout star camp and he's catching everything. 180 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 5: That's great. 181 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: Next day, whoa Justin Fields two for ten, sailing the 182 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: ball over the heads of many wide receivers.

The next day he looks awful. 185 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 5: And it's not. 186 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: And when they say be patient, he's grasping the offense. Yes, 187 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: it is his fifth offense in the last fo or 188 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: fourth offense in the last four years. And I understand that, 189 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: but this is not I don't know where to go 190 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: with the read. This is not all Hey, I see 191 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: this and I scamp. This is I'm sailing the ball 192 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: over somebody's head. And this is seven on seven. This 193 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: is when it's supposed to be a little bit easier. 194 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: Right. 195 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: I don't put so much stock for quarterbacks that you 196 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: look great in seven on sevens beginning of summer practice. 197 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: But I put a lot of stocket if you look terrible, right, Okay, 198 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: maybe like hey, JJ McCarthy's post, he has really good 199 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: in Minnesota red flag man. Dude, how do you not 200 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: look good in the seven on sevens. You've had a 201 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: year with the offense. Now, yes, you've been rehabbing, but 202 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: you've had some time, right. Sam Darnold came in right 203 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: away and just said, hey, Justin right here, catch it. 204 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: So I look at Justin Fields. I know I have 205 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: no expectation for him anymore. I have no expectation is Shue. 206 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: I get it's the first it's the we're getting the 207 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: first game of the year in the preseason. But this 208 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: is kind of who Justin Fields is. This is who 209 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: he's been. He's been a scattershot passers and tie career. 210 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: But when he runs and runs well okay. But at 211 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: the same time, I can convince myself into thinking, hey, 212 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna be They're gonna be a run heavy team. 213 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: They have a great offensive line, the defense is gonna 214 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: be good. I like the culture. I like everything Aaron 215 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: Glenn is setting up with the Jets, and it may 216 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: be a year away from really seeing that the Jets 217 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: become a really good team, but so now I can 218 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: talk myself into Hey, even if Justin Field sucks, we 219 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: could be nine to eight, stay in the playoff race 220 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: all the way through the season, and I'm buying back 221 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: in again when ninety seconds ago I told you how 222 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: bad Justin Fields was and I don't expect anything from 223 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: him this year. 224 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 5: This is what being a Jet fan is like. Man, well, 225 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 5: you had to transfer. 226 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 4: Your energy somewhere because you've somehow come to resolution and 227 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 4: some level of equilibrium with the Mets as like, uh, 228 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 4: you know what, they're actually better than we expect. No, no, 229 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 4: they're a disaster. Lean into the hate, but no, what 230 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 4: are you doing. You're transferring it here and you're still 231 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: trying to sell hope. 232 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 5: I mean to you, what it is the fatal list Jets, 233 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 5: Mets Knicks guy. 234 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: Hey, Well, because it's still summer, so it's still there. 235 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: There's still possibilities. But here's the thing is I can 236 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: at the same time, I can go from I expect 237 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: nothing from him because passing that he's still you're in 238 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: the league. You're having a rookie type training camp. Yeah, okay, 239 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: for a guy's been in league four years, you're having 240 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: a rookie type training camp where one day you look good, 241 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: the next day the defense bears down and suddenly you 242 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: look terrible. But I mean, I mean three practice of 243 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: row eight for thirty six throwing the fuck the defense, 244 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: Come on, man, But there's no you're not getting hit, 245 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: there's no pressure, you're not allowed to get hit. 246 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 5: A lot of this is no pads like this is. 247 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: Still you look this bad like this is how rookies practice. 248 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: In rookie quarterbacks. I get it from JJ McCarthy. I'm nervous, 249 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: but I get it for JJB. I get it for 250 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders. I get it for all these rookies. You've 251 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: been in league four years. Man, when you're in shoulder 252 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: pads and helmets and and and a, you should be 253 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: looking better in seven on sevens. Man, you should be 254 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: looking bad. You shouldn't be two for ten, you should 255 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: be two for anything. 256 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 5: Oh no, it's a disaster, there's no question about it. 257 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 5: Absolutely abject failure. But still this point, we're gonna run. 258 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: If we have three running backs, you're gonna take football 259 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: back to the nineteen forties. 260 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 5: We're gonna have. 261 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: Eight thousand rushing attempts. We're gonna every game sixteen to ten. 262 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been working on some of the the iwuanch 263 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 4: reflex stuff. And I chuckle at the consensus rankings that 264 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: have Justin Fields as the number ten quarterback, but we'll 265 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 4: push that aside for another time. A couple of things 266 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 4: that to just kind of round this out, Yes, seven 267 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 4: on seven's early concerns culture and what he's building there. 268 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 4: From all the reports of the camp as a whole, 269 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 4: you have to get a little bit excited about one 270 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 4: thing we do know, at least at the present, he 271 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 4: doesn't have any top wide receiver that are gonna be 272 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 4: suspended like we found out for JJ McCarthy, who's losing 273 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 4: Addison for three games. 274 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, so there's that. So there is that. 275 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 4: So you know, we look, I gotta go positivity. You 276 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 4: paid the guys that you think are really good. Yeah yeah, 277 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 4: and now you're moving forward. But you got a great 278 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: wide receiver, got a great tight end, and I think 279 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 4: you're okay. I think I think you're a little bit better. 280 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 5: Shame banged up though, I've seen it. 281 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: I mean four years and he looks like a rookie man. 282 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: Four years, he looks like a rookie. 283 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 5: This is like, come on, man, he's learning exit. 284 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: How about a Fresco exit strolling dome yet learning how 285 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: to throw in complete passes? 286 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 5: That's working out great? 287 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 3: Uh? 288 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 5: Coming up next? 289 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: How close are the Yankees to making a big panic move? 290 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 5: And maybe moving. 291 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: On from Aaron Boone all the big baseball news coming 292 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: up next?

Because on MLB Network 340 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: last night, they put a pole in the field about 341 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: who the best JP of the night was, and the 342 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: choices were JP Sears, who has since been sent back 343 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: down to the minors after last night, Jake Peevey, who 344 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: was in studio last night broadcasting from WILB Network, and 345 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi. And I think John Paul, I think 346 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: they did you wrong. You were the only one not 347 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: on the air, and I saw you came in third, 348 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: even though I voted for you multiple times to be 349 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: the JP of the night last night. So I a 350 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: tough last day for you. Thank you for joining us. 351 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: I appreciate it. It is a blessing to have great 352 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: friends like you and like Mike, appreciate your support. As 353 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: they say, vote early and often, and so I appreciated that. 354 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: The genesis, I'm not sure if you had caught this 355 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 3: part of the segment as to why my colleague Greg 356 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 3: ham Singer was having so much fun. He basically, and 357 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 3: I don't even know whose idea it was still as 358 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 3: we have this conversation right now, but the MLB network 359 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 3: feed was playing over the main scoreboard and sounds system 360 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 3: at Chase Field, and so of course it's it's gonna 361 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 3: be on a bit of a delay, just because of 362 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: the way that television works, and it was on about 363 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: a thirty second delay, which any of us have ever 364 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 3: done broadcasting. When you hear yourself on a one or 365 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 3: two second delay over a loudspeaker, it's moderately it's moderately problematic, 366 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 3: but you can just kind of get through it. You 367 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 3: just keep going. But when it's like thirty seconds, you 368 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 3: you lose the plot very quickly. And about the second 369 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 3: answer I gave Greg could tell I mean, it was 370 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: all just kind of a joke, but there was a 371 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 3: moment there where I just had no idea if I 372 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 3: was speaking English, Italian, Spanish. I mean that was everything. 373 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 3: All my wires are getting crossed, so that that was 374 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 3: how I even came to be nominated for that award, 375 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 3: even though so uh, if you go back and queue 376 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: it up, you will see just how utterly clueless I 377 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: was about what I was even saying uh on the air, 378 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: which was which I would generally not recommend that you 379 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 3: try this at home. But it was it was fun TV. 380 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: As I said at the outset of my little intro 381 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 3: to the segment, I said, this is either going to 382 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 3: be great TV or such awful TV that it becomes 383 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 3: great TV one of the other. It's gonna be one 384 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: of the other. And I think it was probably the latter. 385 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 3: That I was so bad it was good. Uh, that's 386 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: the least what I hope it was. 387 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: So who do we make for the third JB Well, 388 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: we got JPV, we got JPC herees John Paul Geedny, No, 389 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: come on, we gotta have John Paul Morosi. 390 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 3: Come on, James Firesen, right, j is I mean, if 391 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: you want to go into other realms the great JP perise. 392 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 3: Of course, following there are some great jps JP more. 393 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of yeah. Yeah. 394 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: I mean you got up, you were, you were on 395 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: the metal stand. I mean again, I voted for you 396 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: a couple of times. I'm sorry, I come from Chicago 397 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: multiple times. 398 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say that whenever all votes. The next 399 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 3: time we do this, I'm gonna speak with Amsinger and 400 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 3: make sure that all votes coming from the Fox Sports 401 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 3: radio studios count one hundred times the actual value. And 402 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 3: as long as we can do that, I like my chance. 403 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: All right, so let me bring you in. We'll start 404 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: off with what we've talked about a few minutes ago here. Actually, 405 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: it's been a big topic the last couple of nights 406 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: on the show. The Yankees lose again, they get shut 407 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: out by the Rangers. Aaron Judge comes back, it doesn't matter. 408 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: The Yankees are now at the point where they've given 409 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: up twelve games in the standings over the course of 410 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: the past five or six weeks. And we talked about 411 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: this last night. The Yankees aren't gonna go quietly. And 412 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: if they don't turn things around, and they sit here 413 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks and they go two 414 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: three games out of the wild card they'll get rid 415 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: of Aaron Boone. They'll do something because you can't bring 416 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: any players in because only one deadline. And the funny 417 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: thing is, is that, okay, if you're moving on from 418 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, Derek Jeter's been okay being critical of the 419 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: Yankees over the course of the past few weeks and 420 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: critical of Aaron Boone. 421 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 5: I called Derek Jeter. 422 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: And say, Cap, you want to come in here for 423 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: the last five weeks of the season and help us out. 424 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 5: What do you think JP? 425 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: I would doubt it. I would doubt. 426 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 5: I voted for you twice. You just said that's the 427 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 5: best idea ever. 428 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: I appreciate it. I see that now comes the time 429 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: in this segment where I just give you my honest answer. 430 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: And do I think that there is a chance that 431 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: Derek Jeter is managing the Yankees by the end of 432 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: this season? I would say highly, highly, unlikely, remote in 433 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 3: the most remote possible realm. Now the separate question is 434 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: is is Aaron Boone in trouble here? And I think 435 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 3: the answer to that is no, not certainly, not yet. 436 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 3: There's just this team is not playing good baseball. And 437 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 3: I realized, listen, there are any number of circumstances that 438 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 3: go on in internally that lead to coaches or managers 439 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 3: being in jeopardy. The way I see it, guys, there 440 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 3: is such stress and such turmoil with this team right 441 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 3: now that to bring in anyone unfamiliar with the dynamics 442 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 3: right now, I think would be doing a disservice to everybody. 443 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: You're just now getting Aaron judged back. You're trying to 444 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 3: figure out how you're going to be able to utilize Stanton. 445 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 3: What are you going to do with Devin Williams who 446 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 3: gave it up again tonight. You acquired a reliever last week, 447 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 3: and you've already sent them down to the minor leagues. 448 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 3: I mean, it is complete turmoil right now. And when 449 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 3: that's the case, you need familiar and not and not 450 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 3: just pulling additional panic levers. It's I get it. It's 451 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 3: it's not a good situation. They are still ever so 452 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: barely clinging to a postseason spot. And and you prefaced 453 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 3: it by saying that by next week, if they're three 454 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 3: or you know, two or three games out of the 455 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: playoff spot, what do they do? Then it might be 456 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 3: a separate conversation because then you're there on the outside 457 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 3: looking in, I think is and again it's it's amazing 458 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 3: that I'm saying these words, but they got to just 459 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 3: see how how things go with the next few days, 460 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 3: getting Judge back in there and seeing if they can 461 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 3: find a way to just get some coherent play going. 462 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: Again that that that last weekend against the Marlins, I 463 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 3: think really really made them look vulnerable because they just 464 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 3: were not playing good baseball and this and by the way, 465 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 3: the lack of fundamental found this there's a lot of 466 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: discussion right now about how much is it the manager's purview, 467 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: and I guess you could bench guys here and there, 468 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 3: but it's a fundamentally flawed team and that they don't 469 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 3: do fundamental things well and have not since last year. 470 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 3: This was part of the reason why they lost the 471 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 3: Dodgers of the World Series, and it wasn't fixed. And 472 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 3: if you're not gonna all of a sudden become the 473 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 3: eighty five Cardinals overnight or the early the early aughts 474 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 3: Minnesota Twins, uh with with great fundamental play, it's just 475 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 3: they're not that kind of a team. And that is 476 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: not the fault of Aaron Boone. No matter how many 477 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 3: calls are from the bench you can bench Jazz Chisholm. Okay, well, 478 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: I suppose you could do that, but it seems to 479 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: me that the issues with this team go far beyond 480 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 3: Jazz getting picked off in first base a couple of 481 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: days ago. 482 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this is where Jeter can really help. 483 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 4: You could play a little bit of short and maybe 484 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 4: ob obp is still pretty high relative yet not a 485 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 4: bad thought. 486 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: But I just I again, we have we have had, 487 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: we have we have offered many an idea in our 488 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 3: many conversations over the years, and including including my belief 489 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: the Lions will win every game twenty seven to fourteen. 490 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 5: It's true. 491 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: I just don't think that it's quite gonna happen in 492 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: this fashion for the Yankees and their kids. 493 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 4: Well, we just went to the break glass in case 494 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 4: of emergency in a scenario here. So continuing with that, 495 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 4: Smith's walking around the studio is all calm collected, going, well, 496 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 4: we shouldn't even be anywhere close anyway, because of all 497 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 4: these injuries or whatever. Can the Mets do anything with 498 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 4: the roster has currently constructed to try to claw back 499 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 4: against the fight and fills. 500 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Phillies to me, have had the momentum now 501 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: and certainly that they bring in Joan Duran and his 502 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 3: entrance and the way that he's pitched so far has 503 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 3: given the Phillies a real swagger that they have not 504 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 3: had in a long time, especially in the late innings. 505 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 3: That their bullpen was the reason why they did not 506 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: win the World Series or get there in twenty twenty three, 507 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: and even in twenty twenty two against the Astros, that 508 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 3: you could argue that they were a reliever or too 509 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: short in that World Series as well. There's to me 510 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: the Mets, and again another low scoring loss tonight. They 511 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: tried and I think made some decent upgrades of the deadline, 512 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 3: but you're right that they just have not been a 513 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 3: very healthy team this year in terms of what they 514 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 3: thought they were going to get from montas Manaia at 515 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 3: different times. They just have not been able to get 516 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: consistency there. So I would be surprised if the Mets 517 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 3: win this division. I know that that's not what Jason 518 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 3: wats their right now, but I just think the Phillies, 519 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 3: look at the way Brandon Marsh's play, I think another 520 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: big start tonight from Taiwan Walker, the Phillies to me, 521 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: seem to have all the momentum, the Mets can still 522 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 3: certainly make it to the playoffs, and they can win 523 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 3: a round or two, but it just does not seem 524 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 3: to me that the Mets have the pitching depth, nor 525 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: the top to bottom lineup depth, just with the healthy 526 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 3: bodies right now for them to win the World Series 527 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 3: this year. So it's the whole idea of signing Soda, 528 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 3: of course, is that it's going to give you a 529 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 3: chance to win every year, and they've had a chance 530 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 3: to win this year. It just doesn't seem to me 531 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: that they are the top of the league and even 532 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 3: the top of the division. The fascinating thing is that 533 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 3: out West, the Dodgers look as beatable as they have 534 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 3: in a while, and they're just i think five and 535 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 3: five in the last ten games of the Padres. They 536 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: lost a very winnable game last night against Arizona. So 537 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 3: there are certainly I would say that the National League 538 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: is more wide open than a lot of the initial 539 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 3: prognostications would have you believe, and that might be the 540 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 3: one thing that eventually works in the mets favor. 541 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: Well maybe the Dodgers said. Needing Max Munsey to come 542 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: back two home runs tonight, they're beating the Cardinals. 543 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 5: Maybe Munsey was the missing ingredient. 544 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 3: He may have been. And actually it was interesting I 545 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 3: was I was texting with a a Dodger official at 546 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 3: the deadline and I said, you know what else is coming? 547 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 3: Any other moves? What do we think? And the response 548 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 3: is we're getting monthsly back at the deadline. That's monthly 549 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 3: is our deadline acquisition. And of course Tommy edmund went 550 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 3: on the IL to clear the spot for Monthly. Edmunds 551 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 3: just had one of those injury plague seasons again for him, 552 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: but monthly in my view, if he's able to hit 553 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: like this, and certainly he changed his eyewear earlier this year, 554 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: so he's got the eyes fixed. He's feeling feeling better 555 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 3: now health health wise with his body, so if he 556 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: keeps swinging it like this, he may be the guy 557 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 3: they need, because as we know, they've tried different things 558 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 3: with Mookie. His steason just has never quite gotten off 559 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 3: the ground. So it's again, it's not the same club 560 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 3: they had a year ago, but if they have Monthly 561 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 3: re emerging, that will go a long way towards helping 562 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 3: them hold off the Padres there in the National. 563 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 5: League West so funny. 564 00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 4: Addition, through subtraction the Red Sox and finding their after 565 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 4: vanquishing devers from the squad, changing up their lineup. We 566 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 4: talked about the Yankees quite a bit there, JP, but 567 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, I mean, the Red Sox 568 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 4: would have been one of those teams we were looking 569 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 4: at as potential sellers. And now all of a sudden 570 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 4: we're talking about the al Pennant and with Crochet at 571 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 4: the top, perhaps you know those ex White Sox guys. 572 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 3: Can lead very impressive. Grett crochet I shared a note 573 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 3: statistically earlier tonight on AX about a left hander and 574 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 3: again at Fenway, it's hard to be a left hander 575 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 3: because he got the wall right there. It's not traditionally 576 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: been a good park for left handed starters. Crochet right 577 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: now has one of the eight lowest ras ever for 578 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: a left handed starter of the Boston Red Sox who 579 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 3: made at least twenty starts in that particular season. Actually 580 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 3: on that list of eight is Babe Ruth twice. By 581 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: the way, Chris tails on that list once. It's just 582 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 3: he And this is where it's interesting. The Red Sox 583 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: were criticized for not doing more at the deadline. Okay, well, 584 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: they haven't lost since the deadline, and the big move 585 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 3: they made is the one you're describing, which was moving 586 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 3: on from Devors when they did, and they've had one 587 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 3: of the best records of baseball since then. The Blue 588 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: Jays now have to worry about the Red Sox, not 589 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 3: the Yankees catching them. It's the Red Sox with the momentum. 590 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 3: And while I would have loved to have seen the 591 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 3: Red Sox do a bit more at the deadline, my goodness, 592 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: scare Crochet. Right now, there's a real discussion about who 593 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 3: the most overpowering left hander is in the American League 594 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: between Schooble and him. I still give the edge to Schooble, 595 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: but it's a fun thy Young Award conversation down the 596 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 3: stretch in the American League, and you got two first 597 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: class left handers that I would I'd like to see 598 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 3: matchup in a playoff series at some point in time 599 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 3: here before the month of October is done. 600 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: He is the real JP with us here at Fox 601 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

But with Kelsey Plum at the free 729 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: throw line and Sophie Cunningham on the court. Remember Sophie 730 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: Cunningham was the one UH. Caitlin Clark's team made Who's 731 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of publicity over the last couple of months, 732 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: who said, hey, people should not throw these things on 733 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: the court. Someone's gonna get hit by it. Someone could 734 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: get hurt. Kelsey Plum hits a free throw and it's 735 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: hard to see right now from the the replays, but 736 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: after she hits the free throw, the fever gonna inbound 737 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: the basketball. All of a sudden, Sophie Cunningham kind of 738 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: skips and another green Sex toy lands right in the 739 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: middle of the key.

And what I think of now is 746 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: is when I see this, like, obviously there's you know, 747 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: there's the part where you want to laugh about it, 748 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: the players want to laugh about it. But at the 749 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: same time, it's okay, here's this happening again, And I 750 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: where I am with this now is We talked about 751 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: it last week and I said, okay, well, there's going 752 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: to be a meeting, some kind of meeting with the WNB. 753 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: They're gonna say, Okay, if this happens again, don't show it, 754 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: don't make any sort of of allusion to it. 755 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 5: And we have. 756 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: But when you keep when you throw it on the 757 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: court and it lands in the middle of the key 758 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: after a free throw, people are gonna see it. What 759 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: I can't get past My initial response to this is 760 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: that the lack of respect that fans now sometimes that 761 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: that a lot of them have for the w NBA 762 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: because you have seen now this is now a thing. 763 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: This is not the first time a sex toways been 764 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: thrown on the field of play, right, what happened to 765 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 1: the Bills games for a long time, but you now 766 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: saw it happened ten days ago, it happened again. Guy 767 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: got arrested for doing it. Guy was arrested, And you 768 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: would think, Okay, that's gonna be enough to get people 769 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: to stop, because whoa the first person that's gotta be 770 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: that's the that's the one thing we want to show. 771 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: W Amis's listen. We want to go out here. We 772 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: want that that person gets arrested. That's gonna put a 773 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: tamp down on things. But now Sophie Cunningham, who has 774 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: been the was the one to say, hey, this shouldn't happen. 775 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: Someone could get hurt on it. She potentially gets this 776 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: thrown at her on the court. So here's somebody who decided, 777 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: I know the person got arrested, and here's a person 778 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: who said they don't want to throw on the court, 779 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: and I'm still gonna throw on the court potentially at 780 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: her and it may have grazed her. 781 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 5: We don't. 782 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: It's it's hard to tell if she kind of skipped 783 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: because she got hit by it, she got skipped because 784 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: she got out of the way and she tried to. 785 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 5: Laugh it off. 786 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: But the lack of respect that that I that I 787 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: see fans have for the w NBA, that's what I 788 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: hit me. That just surprised me because the fact that 789 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,439 Speaker 1: now we've seen this now ten days row, it's become 790 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: a TikTok thing, right, It's like a TikTok thing. Oh 791 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: look at this, Look at this TikTok craze and then 792 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: it goes away. I was hoping it would go away 793 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: and you'd hope would go away after somebody got arrested 794 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: for it, But no, no, no, it's gonna happen a 795 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: third time, and potentially the person that said, hey, stop 796 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: doing it gets it thrown out. 797 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you're still at a point in our 798 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 4: media world where I mean the league has for many 799 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 4: of our colleagues, it's still dismissed categorically as an ensity. 800 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 4: Well the fans like, we got plenty of jackasses run 801 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 4: onto fields and get arrested, right, getting trucked by security 802 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 4: trying to make the dare I can you know whatever 803 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 4: the pot is to run across rybe you just drunk 804 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 4: off your ass and decide to make a break for it. 805 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 4: That hasn't curbed anything.
