Speaker 2: absolute jam packed show tonight. We've got some baseball stuff,

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: We've got some Olympics stuff, we've got some NFL craziness,

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: and we have a very raucous midnight hour which will

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 2: be a fun one. Tonight. We're gonna take a bit

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: of a left turn and you're gonna like one of

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: the subjects we talk about. We'll get to that a

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: bit later, but we begin with the huge news in

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: the NBA and how we consume our sports to satisfy

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: our never ending appetite. You know, let me start with this.

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: In many ways, I'm a simple guy. Hell I had

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: a lunchables for dinner last night. But there's two things

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: that I avoid, like the plague. One going through a

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: drive through at my favorite burger joint, and two going

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: to ATM machines. You see, every time I go to

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: a drive through, all I want to do is get

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: my damn happy meal and be on my way quickly.

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: But it never fails. I'm always behind somebody who's ordering

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: dinner for the fifth fleet and they pay with the

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: spare chain from their piggy bank. You've been there, you

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. And then, of course, every

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: time I go to an ATM, just want to get

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: my two hundred bucks and be on my way quickly,

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: but it never fails. I'm always behind somebody who's trying

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: to orchestrate a leverage bank buy out on an ATM machine.

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: You've been there, you know what I'm talking about. But

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: I also don't deny reality. I have always understood and

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: believed and observed that the future has a way of

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 2: arriving ahead of schedule. In fact, Victor Hugo, the Great

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: Victor Hugo, I just stood before his mausoleum site in

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Paris sixty days ago, once said, quote, A thousand armies

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: cannot stop an idea whose time has come. You probably

40
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: already know this, but I'll repeat it anyway. Amazon Prime

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 2: has one hundred and eighty million subscribers in dozens of countries.

42
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: And these are the kind of deep pockets that are

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: going to usher in a new world of sports broadcasting.

44
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: Hence the plight of the NBA and T and T,

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: at least from the way I see it. You see

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: it looks now that the NBA will end this thirty

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: four year partnership with TNT after next season. They rejected

48
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 2: the network's offer to match a bid from Amazon. This

49
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: is a move that you just wait. It's gonna shake

50
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: up the sports world for the next decade and beyond,

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: and it's gonna change you know, it's gonna create serious

52
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: challenges for T and T and their parent company, Warner

53
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Discovery. But T and T they're vowing to

54
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: push back. Here's where the drama begin is So first,

55
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: let's start with the key facts. This past week, the

56
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: NBA signed three multi billion dollar deals with Amazon, NBC,

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: and ESPN. Well their parent company Disney. We're talking seventy

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: six billion dollars worth a b that's a lot of

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: happy meals gonna take it through the twenty thirty six season.

60
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: So this is a shift from what the NBA had

61
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: been doing before. Now. The NBA said in the statement

62
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: that Warner Brothers Discovery they're the parent company of T

63
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: and T. That's where it really gets confusing. Disney's the

64
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: parent company in ESPN. So if you try to understand

65
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: the verbiage language, you have to know these things, which

66
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: you probably already do. The NBA said in their statement

67
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: that TNT that their quote their most recent proposal did

68
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: not match the terms of the Amazon Prime Video offer,

69
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: which reportedly included a one point eight billion dollar payment

70
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: to the NBA each year for a series of streaming

71
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: only games. Well, TNT responded saying yes we did. Oh no,

72
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: not no, hell no, not up in here. They can

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: do that to us. They said they did match Amazon's

74
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: offer and did not believe the NBA could reject its

75
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: bid because it has matching rights. TNT is accusing the

76
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: league the NBA of grossly misinterpreting quote our contractual rights

77
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: with respect to the twenty five to twenty six season

78
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: and beyond. It gets crazier from there. So where are

79
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 2: we see in the complaint Warner Brothers Discovery again, which

80
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: is T and T. They went on to further accuse

81
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: the NBA of listen to this now, it's uglier than

82
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: an I can Tina Turner divorce quote carefully and meticulously

83
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: crafting the Amazon offer to circumvent D and T and

84
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: their offer, including by agreeing to include provisions in the

85
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: Amazon offer that the NBA believe T and T and

86
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: WBD could not and would not perform. Ah ah was

87
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: the fix in. I don't know. I'm just a radio guy.

88
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you what I know what I think I know.

89
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: Now the legal action by T and T, well, it's

90
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: really WBD, which is Warner Brothers Disney's it arrives. It's

91
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: happening at a time in T and t's history where

92
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: they're really on a down cycle. There's backlash. The stock

93
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: is not doing well, they've got downgraded ratings from analysts

94
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: due to the loss of their NBA rights, and TNT

95
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: is trying to retain its times with the NBA. The

96
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: NBA is clearly trying to take it it's games elsewhere.

97
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: Maybe they have desired to do this for a while.

98
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: So if you follow this situations and you like legal drama,

99
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 2: this is one of those deals that's poised to become

100
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: I think one of the most combative rights disputes will

101
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: have ever seen in modern sports history, certainly over the

102
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: most amount of money and a highly charged because of

103
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: the Charles Barkley Ernie Johnson, Shack Kenny Smith show, which

104
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: has been on for over twenty years. You know, I'm

105
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: just gonna throw something in here, and I know I'm

106
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: probably gonna go to hell on a scholarship for saying this.

107
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: Do I love Urdie Johnson? They don't make him any

108
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: better than that guy. If you don't know his history,

109
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: read it. Charles Barkley an absolute natural and everything he's

110
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: ever done. I've loved the guy since he was at

111
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: Auburn along on the short of it as this, He's

112
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: everything you'd want in terms of bringing eyeballs. He's the

113
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: real deal Shack who's become a fan favorite and a

114
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: likable personality. And Kenny Smith's fine. But you put them

115
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: all together and that show bores me. When they try

116
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: to talk college basketball, my teeth itch, they don't know

117
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: what they're talking about. It's bad and it's kind of

118
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: slow moving, but it gets camping and everybody likes it. Okay,

119
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. I'm the outlier here. Hell,

120
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred percent Italian. I'm calibrace. I don't need olives.

121
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: What does that make me? And I know lots of

122
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: people like him because I go down the aisles of

123
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: Albertson's free plug. There's rows and rows of olives everywhere,

124
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: So somebody's buying the damn things. So if the show

125
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: comes back, great, If not, life will go on. I

126
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: promise you the sun will come up. Maybe not for everybody,

127
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: but for me it will. But the quote goes unquote.

128
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: Given the NBA's unjustified rejection of our matching and a

129
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: third party offer, we have taken legal action to enforce

130
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: our rights. According to T and T Sports, in another

131
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: statement they issued, the quote continues, we strongly believe this

132
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: is not just our contrastial right, but also in the

133
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: best interest of fans who want to keep watching our

134
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: industry leading NBA content. Except for Bernie Frattle, I'll watch it,

135
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: but again, I'll be okay, man, there's other stuff out there.

136
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: With all due respect, once saw Fly Me to the

137
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: Moon Today it rocked. Critics don't know what the hell

138
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: you're talking about. By the way, the soundtrack, oh yeah,

139
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: a lot of motown, but the story ensemble cast Woody Harrelson,

140
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: Ray Romano and of course uh Scarlett Johansson and and

141
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: and and Channing Tatum. It was it was tremendous. Man.

142
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Uh So you know I could watch that again if

143
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: the if the T and T Show is not on?

144
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 2: So where do they go from here? I don't know, home, dinner,

145
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: maybe a show. The stage is set. The stage is

146
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: set for an incredible heights Takes showdown between NBA, the

147
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: NBA and Team Tease parent company Warner Brothers Discovery. Strap

148
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: it up, put your seatbelts on. It may not be

149
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: fun to watch, but it's gonna be very interesting to

150
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: watch because I think this has ramifications for the future

151
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: of how we consume sports, and you know, for the

152
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: rest of our lives. They're following the money. That's just

153
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: the way this thing works. It may not be fair,

154
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: you may not like it. Something is getting left out

155
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: in the cold. This isn't the first time this has happened.

156
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: And it's not that I'm unsympathetic, It's just that I'm realistic.

157
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: I know tomorrow, if I go to an ATM machine,

158
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get stuck behind some knucklehead trying to do

159
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: a leverage bank buy out. From an ATM machine. Well,

160
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: I just want my two hundred bucks to get the

161
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: hell out of there. I know if I go through

162
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: a drive through tomorrow, all I want is my happy

163
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: meal and be on my way. But I'm gonna be

164
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: behind somebody who's oraderly enough food for the fifth fleet,

165
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: and I'll be sitting there a while in air conditioning

166
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: at one hundred and sixteen degrees. You get the drift

167
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: coming up. We've had Ryan on a lock because he

168
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: does a great job and this is one hell of

169
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: an up and down roller coaster season for the Dodgers,

170
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: and frankly, I wish we could just fast forward to

171
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 2: October because that's all it's gonna matter. But we're two

172
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: months away from October and have passed his prologue. The

173
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: Dodgers are gonna have more ups and downs, including the

174
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: trade deadline Tuesday, so we'll see what happens. We'll bringing

175

231
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: Believe me, it's time because when you look at the

232
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers twenty twenty four season, it has not only been

233
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: a roller coaster ride. They won't end a series of

234
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: ups and downs that are completely indescribable. Every time you

235
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: see the light at the end of the tunnel, it

236
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: might be an oncoming train. No better guy to have

237
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: on than our guy, Ryan Bursching or Ryan and my

239
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 6: Oh Bernie, I love it, I love it. I heard

240
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 6: you're a farmer John Records on the way out.

241
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: In the last segment, oh much. I wanted to do

242
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: the whole commercial, but there's someone back in Buffalo, New

243
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: yorkle and what is this your bronie. Excuse me, my friend,

244
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: I gotta stop smoking those camel non filters before the show.

245
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. Ryan, My god, we talked. I'm

246
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: really glad to have you on. Uh wanted you on

247
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: last week. I know you're busy. Now, look what's happening

248
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: inside of a week? All right? When I saw the

249
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: dusted May thing happen a couple of weeks agoing, you're

250
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: out to dinner, you're already in you know, trying to

251
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: rehab flexor tendon surgery. You little stomach ache, and the

252
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: next thing you know, you're in surgery and you're off

253
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: for the year. Then yesterday, I'll check that. Thursday, Clayton

254
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: Kershaw makes his return to what I thought was a

255
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: real feel good moment for the Dodgers, and maybe this

256
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: is a metaphor they could start to turn things around.

257
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: Then they lose to the Astros Friday night. And what

258
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: happened to Freddy Freeman scratched for a family emergency, So

259
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: let's start there, my friend.

260
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, hopefully everything is all good with the Freemans. His

261
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 6: three year old son has been in and out of

262
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 6: the hospital for the past few days. From what I understand,

263
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 6: he was discharged a couple of days ago, but then

264
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 6: still wasn't eating and things just weren't looking great. So

265
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 6: he went back to the hospital and Freddie left the

266
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 6: team to go be with his family. I don't know

267
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 6: exactly what's going on. I'm still trying to learn in

268
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 6: terms of what the exact sort of diagnoses that it

269
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 6: seems to be some sort of issue that can come

270
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 6: up with with young children, terms of like inflammation of

271
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 6: the hip that can really cause some serious issues. So

272
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 6: we're all praying for Freddie and Chelsea and that whole

273
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 6: family because it is a scary situation. And hopefully everything

274
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 6: will be fine there, and you know, he'll rejoin the

275
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 6: team whenever you can. This is, you know, something that's

276
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 6: that's way bigger than baseball, So hopefully everything is all

277
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 6: good there.

278
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: Well said, and it's my understanding the earliest to be

279
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: back is midweek next week. But Dodgers are a family,

280
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: so it's not just Freddie and it's not just dusted May.

281
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: You're still looking for Walker Vieler to get back. You're

282
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: still looking for Mookie Bets to get back. Right on

283
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: down the line, Max Munsey, what's the current mental state

284
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers right now is the ponders are surging,

285
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: and although the Dodgers have a somewhat comfortable lead, you

286
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: start to think about October and how's all this going

287
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: to translate?

288
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it has been a really, really interesting couple of weeks.

289
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 6: They ended the first half on a very low note.

290
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 6: They watched five of their last six, including a couple

291
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 6: of games in Detroit that they really should have won

292
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 6: that they really collapsed in the last couple winnings. And

293
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 6: then coming out of the break, you had a fantastic

294
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 6: All Star break. You have say Oscar Hernandez winning the

295
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 6: home Run Derby, which is a ton of fun to watch,

296
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 6: Otani hitting a home run in the All Star Game,

297
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 6: and everything looked great for the Dodgers across the All

298
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 6: Star Break, and that seemed to carry into the start

299
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 6: of the first half, where those games that they should

300
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 6: have won against Detroit they kind of got back against

301
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 6: Boston where you had a couple of games where they

302
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: were able to string things together late. Keik Hernandez came

303
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 6: up big in one of those games against Boston. Late

304
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 6: Gavin Lux was Player of the Week. Sure, it was

305
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 6: only three games, but we'll take it like he's somebody

306
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 6: who has really struggled much of the season, so for

307
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 6: him to have any as Mike Harmon would say, find

308
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 6: your win. That was a win there for Gavin Lux

309
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 6: and it was good to see him kind of turn

310
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 6: it on. So yet, I think it's as you've been saying,

311
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 6: it's very very much a roller coaster season as we've

312
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 6: seen the last couple of months here. But now going

313
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 6: into Houston, of course, having this really unfortunate situation with

314
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 6: Freddy and the Bat's just kind of looked flat tonight.

315
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 6: It is what it is, Frambverbald does, that's truly well.

316
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 6: But yeah, now you've got another chance to kind of

317
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 6: take a look at things and really hopefully the trade

318
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 6: deadline comes and they can kind of get that bump

319
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 6: that they need to kind of get back to their

320
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 6: winning waves, because it looked like they were getting there.

321
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 6: The series against the Giants looks good, So we'll see

322
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 6: how the rest of this Astro series goes. If they

323
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 6: come out with even just one win over the next

324
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 6: two games in Houston, I'd say that's a success given

325
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 6: the status to think at the moment.

326
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: So the trade deadline is Tuesday, three o'clock Pacific time.

327
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: And I've been following this for a couple of weeks

328
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: because has some good moles in Detroit, who told me

329
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 2: that they believe the Dodgers could make a deal with

330
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: Tarik Schoobell. Then the Tigers went on that winning streak,

331
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 2: so they're going to have a much harder bargain. I

332
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: know the Dodgers are looking to target a starting pitcher,

333
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: but they were also thinking about targeting Randy Rosarana, who

334
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 2: they lost out on that. So how active do you

335
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 2: expect to be the Dodgers to be on that was clunky?

336
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: How active do you expect the Dodgers to be by

337
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: Tuesday at three pm specific time?

338
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 6: I would anticipate them to be rather active because if

339
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 6: you're looking at the sort of things they need at

340
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 6: the moment, they kind of need one of everything. There's

341
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 6: definitely a hole in the starting rotation given the fact

342
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 6: that they've had multiple injuries. We really don't know when

343
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 6: Yoshinobu Yamamoto is going to come back. Of course, Bobby

344
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 6: Miller has had struggles. Once he got healthy, he had

345
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 6: to go back down to Triple A because he was

346
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 6: pitching really poorly. Walker Buehler has had his struggles, and

347
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 6: it's kind of hard to tell if it's really a

348
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 6: health thing with him or if he's just struggling that

349
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 6: much in general. Then they dfa James Paxton, which I

350
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 6: found to be a pretty odd move. Yeah, Kershaw back

351
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 6: is definitely nice, but Paxton had been steady at the

352
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 6: back of that rotation and he was definitely a piece

353
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 6: that they kind of needed to be able to take

354
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 6: the ball every fifth day and eat up innings because,

355
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 6: as I was mentioning, you've got guys that are kind

356
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 6: of dropping like flies for the last month. Thankfully, Gavin

357
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 6: Stone has been excellent, but beyond them, there's definitely a

358
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 6: hole in the rotation that needs to be addressed. Also,

359
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 6: the bullpen over the last month has actually been pretty bad.

360
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 6: Their bullpen has been a strength throughout the season, but

361
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 6: this last month I believe they're among the worst of

362
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 6: not sea worst in terms of bullpen era. Over the

363
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 6: last month, Evan Phillips has really struggled as of late,

364
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 6: which is unfortunate to watch because when he's on top

365
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 6: of his game, he's one of the best relievers in baseball.

366
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 6: So they definitely need a relief arm there. They also

367
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 6: need a bad or two. As you mentioned, Randy Rose

368
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 6: Arena was very much on their radar. His fit wasn't

369
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 6: as great because he's more of a corner outfielder. I

370
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 6: think a center fielder would be a better fit for them,

371
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 6: and then adding a bat to the infield, because even

372
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 6: as things were starting to get rolling, you know, an

373
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 6: issue they've had throughout the season was that bottom half

374
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 6: of the order had really struggled offensively. But as we

375
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 6: saw over the last couple of weeks, guys like Kek

376
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: Hernandez and Chris Taylor and Gavin Lux were actually stepping

377
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 6: up and producing and it was getting some wins here

378
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 6: and there. Chris Taylor actually over the last months really

379
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 6: turned things around and was on a path to being

380
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 6: able to be an everyday player again, and then he

381
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 6: got hurt just a couple of days ago. Also, Miguel

382
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 6: Rojas got hurt a few days ago. So they kind

383
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 6: of need one of everything. So this is the team

384
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 6: that should be insroad of the active at the deadline,

385
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: and there are some there's some potential options there that

386
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: they could pursue. In terms of the way that Andrew

387
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 6: Friedman tends to approach these trade deadlines is he kind

388
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 6: of likes to go to a one stop shop where

389
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 6: he can he can get all of his needs at

390
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: the same place if he goes to a target or

391
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 6: and he gets one of everything.

392
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 7: The Chicago White sow to offer that.

393
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 6: You have Garrett Crochet, which is a top flight starting

394
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: pitcher as we just heard recently, though he's not going

395
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 6: to pitch into the postseason unless he gets an extension, which,

396
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 6: as one Dodger blogger put it, hey don't threaten me

397
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 6: with a good time. The Dodgers can absolutely bring Crochet

398
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 6: in and offer him an extension. He's that good of

399
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 6: a pitcher that that'd be a great move on their part. Also,

400
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 6: you have Louise Roberts, who can play the outfield at

401
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 6: the middle of the order bat for a couple of years.

402
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 6: That's a great addition. And then you've got short term

403
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 6: editions in terms of like Paul DeJong who can play

404
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 6: play the infield. Give them an okay band at the

405
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 6: bottom part of the order, a guy who's had a

406
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 6: better season in terms of just his power numbers kind

407
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 6: of coming back around this year. And then you can

408
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 6: also throw in like a Michael Kopek, who I really

409
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 6: like as a guy who could really develop into a

410
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 6: very strong back end of the bullpen arm. So there

411
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 6: there are options there. It would feel like if the

412
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 6: Dodgers are going to do anything major, it would be

413
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 6: something like that where they just kind of do all

414
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 6: their moves in one gigantic move. They could also go

415
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 6: multiple directions to get multiple guys. But this is a

416
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 6: team that should definitely be very active of the deadline.

417
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: I think Gerrett Crochet would be a great ad. So

418
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: one have been one of the best starters in baseball

419
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: this year, big time strikeout guy. The Dodgers can clearly

420
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: give him the extension he wants. We'll see what they

421
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: do about Luis Robert. But there's one more name I

422
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: want to mention that might be under the radar, because

423
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: you're right, the Dodgers' bullpen has not been that bad,

424
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: but they lack I think a bona fide closer. Might

425
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: they make a move toward Mason Miller of the Oakland A's,

426
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 2: who might be the He might have the best fastball

427
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: in all of baseball, another big time strikeout pitcher, because

428
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: they could bolster their bullpen there.

429
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you recall in the All Star Game, shoy

430
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 6: Otani walked in the first inning, then he hit his

431
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 6: home run, and then he struck out and the guy

432
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 6: he struck out against was Mason Miller, and Mason Miller

433
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 6: is that good. His fastball toopped out at one oh

434
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 6: four and it's incredible.

435
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: He is.

436
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 6: Yes, he is on the injured list at the moment

437
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 6: because you know, he got overly excited and hit a table.

438
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 6: He kind of I don't know if he broke a

439
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 6: bone in his hand, but he's on the injur list.

440
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 6: But it's also his left hand. He's the right end

441
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 6: of pitcher, so it's not not a huge concern there.

442
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 6: But Mason Miller is very interesting because at the start

443
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 6: of the season, it seemed kind of like a foregone

444
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 6: conclusion that it's the Oakland A's they they have one

445
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 6: good guy here, they should move him at the deadline

446
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 6: and get all they can for him. But then as

447
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 6: they started to progress through the season, it's kind of

448
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 6: the thought of, like, well, if this is a franchise

449
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 6: that really wants to start over and truly have a

450
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 6: rebuild here, Brent Rooker is having an excellent season. Mason

451
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 6: Miller is a guy that you absolutely should build. He's

452
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 6: under control for the next like I think four years,

453
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 6: and you can have him at the back end of

454
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 6: that bullbend and dominate. So if this was a franchise

455
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 6: that was really fully concerned with the with the actual

456
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 6: rebuild of the team, then it maybe wouldn't make sense

457
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 6: for them to move Mason Miller. However, over the last week,

458
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 6: suddenly you started to hear Miller's name come up more

459
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 6: in conversations, and the rationale there is, well, yes, he

460
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 6: throws one oh four and what have we seen from

461
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 6: starting pitchers and relief pitchers. Uh, in the current age

462
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 6: of Major League Baseball, these guys get hurt instantly. That

463
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: guy's a Tommy John waiting to happen. So maybe it

464
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 6: would be smart or for the Aides to actually move

465
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 6: Miller right now when his value is probably at the

466
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 6: highest that it ever will be. And if you trade

467
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 6: for him, you're gonna have to give up a ton

468
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 6: for him, and understand that, Sure, he's under control for

469
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 6: four years, but he might not pitch two of those

470
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 6: years because with the with the sort of ferocity that

471
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 6: his arm moved, that it's hard to see him really

472
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 6: staying healthy that entire time. However, I'm somebody who would

473
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 6: be totally fine with the Dodgers spending that sort of

474
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 6: price for Mason Miller, because if you're looking at the

475
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 6: window of really this year and next year, yeah, bring

476
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 6: him on in. Then have that shutdown guy at the

477
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 6: end of the bullpen. There are some other options out

478
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 6: there that could definitely make sense. Tanner Scott of the

479
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 6: Marlins is somebody of the Dodgers have been attached to.

480
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 6: I think Kyle Finnegan from the from the Nationals would

481
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 6: be a great option there. There there it's a very

482
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 6: strong relief market. There are definitely good names out there.

483
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: It will be interesting to see if you know, technically

484
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 6: you can't really move guys when they're injured, so I

485
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 6: don't think Miller can be traded at this point anyway,

486
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 6: but sometimes they kind of work things out. I don't

487
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 6: know they since they took away the waiver deadline to

488
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 6: take it makes things a little more difficult. But yeah,

489
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 6: there's there's definitely strong options out there on the relief market.

490
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 6: But that they could bring in.

491
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: Ryan great stuff is always we'll get you on again

492
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: soon and yes, uh tell me John surgery is the thing.

493
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: Garrett Cochet's already had it. Who knows, Mason Miller might

494
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: get it someday. It sounds like they fit it with

495
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: the Dodgers perfectly. Yeah, that was a smart all right, Ryan,

496
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: great stuff, my friend. Keep your finger on the pulse

497
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: will get you on. I'm looking forward to the pulse

498
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: Sason already. As I said earlier, the future has a

499
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: way of a ride head a schedule. That's Ryan Berschinger.

500
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: You hear his podcast, the Sick Podcast with Boll Benson

501
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: very much has his finger on the pulse. You heard

502
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: him rattle off a ton of good information right there.

503
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: So when you watch and observe the trade deadline Tuesday,

504
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: you will be able to enjoy it more thanks to

505
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: Ryan's information. Coming up? Will you enjoy the Olympics? The

506
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: Olympics are upon us. These Summer Olympics are upon us.

507
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 2: The opening ceremonies are in the books, a couple of

508
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: soccer games are in the books. And Sunday the women's

509
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: soccer team has a big matchup against Germany and the

510
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: men's basketball team will have a very anti climactic matchup

511
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: against Serbia. Yeah, but I digress. The key is what

512
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: will viewership be this year? We're going to talk about that. First,

513

Speaker 8: a victory over Baltimore. Wins for the Marlins, Twins, and

529
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 8: the Guardians, who defeated the Phillies three to one. In

530
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 8: NFL news, the Packers and quarterback Jordan Love agreed to

531
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 8: a four year, two hundred and twenty million dollar contract extension,

532

533
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 8: and twelve million dollar extension with quarterback to Tagovailoa and Bernie,

534
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 8: you're talking about the Olympics and whether you're into it

535
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 8: or not. If you are into it, we've got some

536
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 8: action coming up. At the top of the hour. You

537
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 8: can watch handball between Spain and Slovenia. So if that's

538
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 8: something that tickles your fancy, there you go some live

539
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 8: Olympic action at a midnight Pacific time. So I don't

540
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 8: know if you're gonna be tuning into the handball match

541
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 8: or not, but it's there for you if you want to, Bernie.

542
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 2: I'll Stanley Kevin, I actually bet the.

543
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 9: Under there you go.

544
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: I'll watch less than one minute. I actually sampled it

545
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: the other night. It's kind of a I'm glad you

546
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 2: brought it up because I was trying to figure out

547
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: if it's it's kind of like between basketball, lacrosse, Yeah, soccer, right.

548
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's kind of intriguing. Actually, actually, you know, it was.

549
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: Very intriguing, and I got admit it. It did hold

550
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: my attention for a good one minute.

551
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just not appointment viewing. But if there's literally

552
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 8: nothing else on, you'll flip it on.

553
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: Why not? Good? Good? Pull Kevin, Now, who's your favorite

554
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: handball player?

555
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 8: By the way, uld say, yeah, that that one guy

556
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 8: for that one country.

557
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 9: I bet that one thing, yeah him.

558
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, you nailed it, my friend. All right,

559
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: good stuff as always, Kevin. All right, So the Olympics

560
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: are upon us. Well they've started, and as Kevin mentioned,

561
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: we've even got a handball and blah blah blah. But

562
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: what's interesting is Gallop Reporting Services issued a report last

563
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: week that the Summer Olympics are points to have record

564
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: low US viewership and they did a survey amongst people,

565
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: only thirty five percent of US adults planned to watch

566
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: you know, the games quite a bit. Whatever that means,

567
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, only ten percent you know, will watch a

568
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: fair amount of the games. That's down from forty eight

569
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: percent back in twenty sixteen, and down from sixty percent

570
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: back in twenty twelve. And the vealer intensions for each

571
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: Summer Olympics in the last twenty four years have been,

572
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: you know, waning and you can't just play. But on

573
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: COVID they were they were waning before that, And I

574
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: think there are lots of reasons why. This is my

575
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 2: personal theory, there was a time when the Olympics were

576
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: played when it was really the US versus the Evil Empire.

577
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: The USSR always put out phenomenal Olympic teams. You had

578
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: track athletes like Valerie Barsov who became famous, won gold medals.

579
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: You had the Olympic basketball team. The Russians beat US

580
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: twice for a gold medal. There was controversy both times,

581
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: and back then, you know, even when the East Germans

582
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: had catered to went the great skater. This was a

583
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: referendum on societal success. They believe their system was superior.

584
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: They produced better athletes, they produced better citizens because of

585
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: the way they handled things. The US, obviously we believe

586
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: we are better. And the Olympics became sort of this

587
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: acid test. Whichever nation would win the most medals prove

588
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: the point. And of course, who can forget the miracle

589
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: on ice in nineteen eighty It has become famous, It

590
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: has become infamous. It will never every year on what

591
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: February sixteenth or whatever, the day the US won the

592
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: gold medal against Finland. Who can forget the great victory

593
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: over the USSR, incredible in Lake Placid, New York, and

594
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 2: February of nineteen eighty. So these things were real. It

595
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: was much more than just the athletes between the lines.

596
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 2: It was national pride. It was bragging rights. It was

597
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: a referendum on whose society was more advanced, whose was

598
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: better by virtue of how many metals you won. It

599
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: was the US right, the land of the free versus

600
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: the evil empire. That's all gone, that's all gone. I

601
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 2: don't hear any of that anymore. I don't he Frankly,

602
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: here far less national pride than I think I've ever

603
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: heard in my lifetime. The one good thing is is

604
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: women's sports will be watched as much, if not more

605
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: than men's, particularly gymnastics. All right, they should draw some

606
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: sizeable audiences and gymnastics think to simone viios. But beyond that,

607
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: I set it for a month now. Yes, the US

608
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: men's team plays with their food, and yes we keep

609
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: hearing speeches about all the world's caught up. They are

610
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: five and zero. It starts for real Sunday morning at

611
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: eight am Pacific time against Serbia. I don't think the

612
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: US team will lose a game. They're still too talented,

613
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: too deep. They'll out athlete everybody, they'll squeeze them, they'll

614
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: turn up the defense. They can play there one on

615
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: one ball. They can play their two man ball io ball.

616
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: The foreign teams can still shoot the threes better, they

617
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: play better teamwork. In FOBA. It's a different game. Okay,

618
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: it's eight minutes shorter. Still put the ball in the hole, right,

619
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: distribute the ball and put the ball in the whole.

620
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: We don't do that in the NBA. It's it's not

621
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: our game. It's a star It's a game predicated on stars,

622
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: and you don't escape your nature. They're gonna get on

623
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: the floor and do it. They do. But we're too good.

624
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: We're too good. And I know Bri'll save this, and

625
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: then you know, Ean'll save this Saturday night. If I'm wrong,

626
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: I'll eat crow. They're not losing. So but here's the question,

627
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: this is the first question I'm going to have for

628
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: our midnight hour tonight. Will you watch the Olympics this year?

629
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 2: It's Kevin brought up a good point, not just watch,

630
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: but his appointment watching the WNBA All Star Game last Saturday,

631
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: I was appointment watching. Will you appointment watch the Olympics,

632
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: because I'll promise you we used to. We used to.

633
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: Someone named Caitlin Jenner won the gold medal in the

634
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: cathlon in nineteen seventy six and be a guy named

635
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: Alberta Wantorana from Cuba and it was national. It was

636
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: amazing in nineteen in Montreal, that was appointment watching. Do

637
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: we have anything disappointment watching? Will you watch the Olympics?

638
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: And do you somewhat agree with my assertion that it's

639
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: no longer in the US versus the evil Empire, which

640
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: he's taken out, the good versus the bad element and

641
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: the number of gold medals everybody wins with the metal count.

642
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: It's just I feel like that edge is gone, that

643
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: anger is gone, that angst is gone among the citizens.

644
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: So I want to hear your thoughts. Will you watch

645
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: the Olympics? Yes, know why? Maybe favorite event? And I

646
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: like to get your thoughts on my theory about good

647
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: versus evil. But the second topic is one we can

648
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: all relate to. This one is going to be a doozy,

649
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: This one's gonna be fun, This one is going to

650
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: be I don't think it'll be controversial. I think it'll

651
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: be spirited. Have you noticed have you noticed that everywhere

652
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: you go there are self checkout machines that want you

653
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: to tip them, even though maybe just picking up something,

654
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: or you just ordered a cup of coffee. Just hold

655
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: that thought. We'll get into the meat of the subject

656
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: matter coming up, which you will be the second part

657
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: of the midnight Hour. And I'm looking forward to some

658
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,200

670
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 2: it is, in fact the midnight hour in Las Vegas,

671
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: twelve midnight. From where you sit, it may also literally

672
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 2: be the midnight hour, but certainly figuratively it's the midnight hour,

673
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: and we'll be taking your calls. And I want to

674
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 2: give my producer, Mark Ramsey my technical producer top Props,

675
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 2: pointing out I may not have contextualized the winner of

676
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy six Olympic to Caflon properly. We know

677
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 2: that individual's current name is Caitlin Jenner, but back in

678
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six it was Bruce Jenner. And of course

679
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: I know that, but it articulated properly. But the point

680
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: is we're talking. We are talking appointment viewing in the Olympics.

681
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: Are you gonna watch it? Is it appointment viewing in

682
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: a samplet We don't have any Tanya Hearting, Nancy Kerrigan

683
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: stuff this year. You get the point. I don't need it.

684
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 2: I don't need to recite the litany. We've got a

685
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: smart listening audience. Self checkout machines that want you to

686
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: tip them. As you have noticed, if you've been out

687
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: in the world for the last couple of years now,

688
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: businesses has been introducing you options for tipping self checkout machines.

689
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: It puts pressure on customers. Some people have called it

690
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: emotional black mel despite having zero interaction with an employee

691
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: or real service during a transaction. Well, these checkout machines

692
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: at places such as you know, well, there's coffee shops, bakeries,

693
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: air reports, sports stadiums. They put it in your face

694
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: and they list an option to leave a typical twenty

695
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: percent tip. And a couple years ago, the Wall Street Journal,

696
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: it wasn't even a couple years ago, it probably about

697
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: six months ago, did a big story about this, and uh,

698
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 2: the business owners want their staff to make more money

699
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: and increase gratuities. But I gotta tell you, the the

700
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 2: great Hoy POLOI is not It's not what I consider

701
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: to be enamored about this. Now, don't use me an example,

702
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: because I'm a sucker. They put that damn thing in

703
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 2: front of me, and my Catholic guilt kIPS in and

704
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: I just tip, I just do it. I was in

705
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: Texas's past week and I bought dinner for some peeps

706
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: and went and picked it up at a national chain

707
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: that you've all eaten out, I promise you. Uh. And

708
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: they put the thing in front of me, and not

709
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: only did it say fifteen percent, it had like the

710
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: twenty five percent in big bull red letters. What they say,

711
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 2: everything's bigger in Texas. Well, it was. So the bill

712
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 2: was sixty two bucks. The tip was like fifteen to

713
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: fifty I just did it, all right. I'm just not

714
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: going to cry about it. However, just for giggles, and

715
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: there might have been some alcohol involved, last a few folks.

716
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: Do you tip eighty percent of the people? I said, no,

717
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,479
Speaker 2: Hell no, what I do that for? If I wasn't

718
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: served or waited on, or there wasn't some you know,

719
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 2: significant opportunity for the person to offer customer service? No,

720
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 2: what am I doing it for? And I said, well,

721
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 2: you get dirty looks and they said no, not really.

722
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 2: I said, oh, this, we'll think about it. They deal

723
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: with people all day long, hundreds of people, thousands of people,

724
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: and if eighty percent are tip and they're used to it,

725
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 2: I think this is a thing. I think this is

726
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: a thing worth talking about because it speaks to a

727
00:38:54,280 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: the zeitgeist of a society. It's just one particular public

728
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: relations executive who was part of the Wall Street Journal

729
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: team bought a six dollars water bottle at an airport

730
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: self checkout machine and was asked by the computer to

731
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: leave a twenty percent tip. Now, this is a professional

732
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: person who lives in Manhattan, New York. I won't give

733
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 2: the name, but the quote was just the prompt in general,

734
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: is a bit of emotional blackmail. I'm a wardsmith. I

735
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: thought that was a pretty apt this you know description.

736
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: For some people it is like, what are you doing here? Wait?

737
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: Wait a tip? You know he's not automatic, although it

738
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: should be automatic. But the point of them, you get

739
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 2: my drift. Some people are good tippers. Some people aren't.

740
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 2: Believe me. In Vegas, we know who the good tippers

741
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 2: are and we know the stiffs are. So those are

742
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: our two subjects. Tonight. The Olympics are underway. We've already

743
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 2: had the opening ceremonies and for the next seventeen days

744
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: it'll be bliss for some of the people, maybe ten

745
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 2: percent most some might not want you any of Will

746
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: you watch it? Why have the Olympics lost their groove?

747
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: Why have they lost their luster? I believe they have,

748
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 2: and you heard my theory earlier about good versus evil

749
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 2: the number of medals. Secondly, how do you feel when

750
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: they put that tip machine in front of you, even

751
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 2: though no one really did anything? Do you leave a tip?

752
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 2: How do you feel about it? Want to hear your

769
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: Like I said? Also, how do you feel when they

770
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 2: put those tipping machines in front of you and ask

771
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: for a tip, even if you're just at a bakery

772
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: or the airport or somewhere else where you weren't rented

773
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 2: any service. Yep, it's that time. It's the midnight hour.

774
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: The midnight.

775
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: Looking forward to some very provocative calls Tonight the call

776
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: has been fantastic throughout the duration of this segment, which

777
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: we began last December. We go to Massachusetts. We start

778
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: with Jim. Jim, welcome in glad to have you leading

779
00:41:59,200 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 2: us off tonight.

780
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 7: Hey, Bernie, say listen. The Olympics. Oh what can I

781
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 7: tell you? It was us first, then good versus Evil.

782
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 7: I remember poor Doug Collins lost the gold medal against

783
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 7: Russia against Alexander Belloff. They let him and found the

784
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 7: ball three times until they got the score. It was like,

785
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 7: I'm like screaming at the TV as a kid. Then

786
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 7: watching the swimming Shirley Babershop and all those girls from

787
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 7: southern town, It's like, hey, I'm heading a southern cow.

788
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 7: They're beautiful. But they lost all their medals because they

789
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 7: went against the East Germans and Russians that were all

790
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 7: two stuff. They had thighs as big as my waist

791
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 7: and I'm a forty four waist. I mean, all that

792
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 7: stuff that happened back then. But then you know, the

793
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 7: sad stuff happened with Munich and everything, and I'm so

794
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 7: glad that got straightened out. And it was in Germany,

795
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 7: and Germany got those guys before they left the airport

796
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 7: and you know, protecting Jewish people. Think about that, you know,

797
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 7: twenty five years after World War Two, I mean things

798
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 7: like that. And then that dope, that stupid dope, Jimmy

799
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 7: got keeping the Olympic team home to obtain a military objective.

800
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 7: And that's when we sent all amateurs. It wasn't pros

801
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 7: and everything. So all those kids and all those sports

802
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 7: work in their butts off boy and girl, and he

803
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 7: keeps from home to do with things. But that's why

804
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 7: no one's watching anymore.

805
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 10: You know, it's not the storyline.

806
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: There's no storyline.

807
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 7: The storyline, you know, it's good against evil. And I

808
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 7: just when you had that form the top, I was

809
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 7: just thinking of all the old Olympics I watched. I could,

810
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 7: like I mentioned a few points to you right then.

811
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: I can remember, don't forget Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan

812
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: took place in Detroit. I lived fifteen minutes from there.

813
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 2: My radio partner, Mark Wilson was on the scene with

814
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: TV two, one of the first reporters that created the

815
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 2: kind of appointment watching. We wanted to see who would

816
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 2: win the gold right.

817
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, plus that data whole issue was about money, you

818
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 7: know it boils down to all about money.

819
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 2: You know, future movie about it. Tell me about it, Tanya.

820
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, that was just so disgusting.

821
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 2: You know, all right, are you going to uh the

822
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: tipping thing? What do you how do you feel about that?

823
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 7: Well, the tipping thing, I like, I like like Trump

824
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 7: wants to eliminate all the tipping, your tax on tipping.

825
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 7: Tipping is for people that start out in life, like

826
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 7: with the waiters and waitresses, first time job and stuff

827
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 7: like that. You know that's starting out at the bottom

828
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 7: and stat in your lives. They want to work them

829
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 7: way through schools. I'm all for that. Now, when you

830
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 7: go into the restaurants, like I went into one the

831
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 7: other day, six people are more. They charge eighteen on

832
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 7: the bill and you see it and you can add

833
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 7: more if you want. I like that. But like soda machines,

834
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 7: water machines, everything out now No, no, I'm sorry, buffets.

835
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 11: No.

836
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 7: If I'm getting served, it's going to be on the

837
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 7: you know, the class of the person, the personality of

838
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 7: the person, and if they really want to be there,

839
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 7: you know, earning the money and I usually you know,

840
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 7: I usually do around twenty, you know, when I go

841
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 7: out and stuff like that. But you know a fine

842
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 7: for machine that couldn't believe you told me right. She

843
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 7: wanted money.

844
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, everywhere I go. I did a takeout earlier night.

845
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: Great stuff. Jim has always appreciate your man. Every Friday

846
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: night at midnight on the midnight hour, Jim usually gets

847
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: you started, just the quick a side. Because our producer

848
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 2: Bree is a phenomenal movie. Buff I Tanya is a

849
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 2: great movie. Would not have happened if not you know

850
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety four Olympics. If that whole event when

851
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 2: Nancy Kerrigan and Tanya Harding and knuckleheads like Shane Stanton

852
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 2: Jeff Glouli became household names. Phenomenal performance by Margo Roby

853
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: is Tanya Harding and her mom Alison, Janny rock to

854
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: E's swarts seeing hollering, James, welcome in. How are you.

855
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 12: James still on the air? Thank you, Ben. I mean

856
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 12: I've been burning fat. I'm say it only you're confused.

857
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 12: I'm telling you right now, I haven't really gotten into

858
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 12: the Olympics because my boy mother Smarther and Hagler and

859
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 12: he fought, you know, at a Fermo way back in

860
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 12: the day. He beat Beto and when he de Vito,

861
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 12: they said bartles and everything they could when he beat

862
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 12: Nto in Italy, and he was shied away from the

863
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 12: Olympics when he had the honors shouting from city bumpus.

864
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 12: I'm dating myself way back in the day, and I'm

865
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 12: telling you I'm sixty years old. I've seen a lot

866
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 12: of the Olympics. I want they do, the athletes and

867
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 12: how they train and how they prepare themselves, and it's

868
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 12: just downfair adequate for them to receive propa edition. Whether

869
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 12: they're not that grit and they seem to get in

870
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 12: they get out once to get in or once they

871
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 12: get out they seem to be on top of the world.

872
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: Watch him this year.

873
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 12: I might watch a little bit of it, just so

874
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 12: you know. Americans. I met kid American. Of course, I

875
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 12: was born up here in Minnesota, Minneapolis, and yeah, they

876
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 12: might have my attention.

877
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff. I appreciate you hollering, James, always

878
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 2: appreciate your call. Just a quick subtext. I didn't get

879
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 2: to the tipping thing with him. He can call back

880
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 2: if he wants. But here's the deal. Boxing was always

881
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 2: a huge thing in the Olympics. What do you think

882
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 2: Sugar Leonard got his start right on down the line.

883
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: Floyd Mayweather as well. I can't name any boxers this year,

884
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 2: and that's on me. Quick tweet from a Bolt Royal.

885
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 2: If I've got to do anything other than scan my

886
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: card or whip out some cash to check out, then

887
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 2: I'm looking for a discount. Screw the tip for a

888
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 2: machine costing people their job. I don't think anybody likes this.

889
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna get into this. Wand in Pennsylvania. Welcome in

890
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: midnight hour of the Bernie Fratter Show. Hello, are you

891
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 2: there one in Pennsylvania. Yeah, you're on the air.

892
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 13: One, go ahead, Yes, good morning. A couple of points

893
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 13: I wanted to make one. I have an appointment watch

894
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 13: the Olympics in twenty four years. I'm thirty five. The

895
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 13: last time I was eleven years old. And the only

896
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 13: reason the appointment watch anything was because when the men's

897
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 13: national team got through their group and made it to

898
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 13: the quarterfinals with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, that was

899
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 13: like everything to the US, just for the men to

900
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 13: make it that far. And to kind of further that

901
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 13: point as to why it was an appointment watch, I

902
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 13: kind of feel like it's not really the US against

903
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 13: the road anymore. It's the US against its own van base.

904
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 13: I think because the expectation is that, hey, we're supposed

905
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 13: to get the most medals, the most old medals every

906
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 13: year just doesn't seem as interesting anymore for people to

907
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 13: you know, sit on the edge of their seats wondering, hey,

908
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 13: can the US overcome something because we just expect them

909
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 13: to do it now.

910
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: Good point, especially when you think of men's soccer now

911
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: women's soccer. Yeah a good point, Yeah, yeah, of course.

912
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 13: And then lastly, I also just kind of I've always

913
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 13: thought just kind of like the pride thing with other countries.

914
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 13: I always felt like other countries just take so much

915
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 13: more pride in representing their country. I feel like the

916
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 13: US is everything just so commercialized and standalone and it's

917
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 13: all about individuality, and it's for me, just as an American,

918
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 13: it just seems like these athletes that represent fur their countries,

919
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 13: it's it's so much more meaningful, or it seems much

920
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 13: more meaningful for them to go out and breat and

921
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 13: rep their country and be like, hey, you know we

922
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 13: can do this, We can go out and we can

923
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 13: beat these USC It seems like we're it's like the

924
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 13: world against us now. And that's why for those athletes too,

925
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 13: because it seems like they just have so much more

926
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 13: to overcome. They don't have as many advancements as we

927
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 13: do or facilities. So yeah, that's that's kid of my sake.

928
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 2: On all right, great call on, don't be a stranger.

929
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: We do this every Friday night and maybe three am

930
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 2: your time in Pennsylvania, but it's the midnight hour everywhere

931
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 2: we are. And he brings up an interesting point. I

932
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 2: happen to sample Iraq versus Ukraine in soccer yesterday or Thursday,

933
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 2: Iraq versus Ukraine. They're feeling soccer teams. Yeah, think about

934
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 2: that for just a second. John and Seattle's up next.

935
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 2: Hi John, welcome in. How are you.

936
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 14: Hey, boss man, Thank you for finally taking my call.

937
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 14: I want to say this. First off, I just wanted

938
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 14: to talk about the Olympics. But now I want to

939
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 14: talk about this tipping crap. This tipping crap is out

940
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 14: of control. If you sit down and you take a meal,

941
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 14: tip the people, Tip the people. If you're ordering, you know,

942
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 14: tip them good. But if you're going the subway, and

943
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 14: I'm gonna say subway, and I'm ordering my stuff and

944
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 14: I never even sit down. I do not want to

945
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 14: be a tip option. If you want more money from me,

946
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 14: charge me in the god dangn sandwich. Is that simple?

947
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 14: Charge me and that's your two sandwich two dollars. I'll

948
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 14: pay the money. I don't care, But don't put an

949
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 14: option for me to tip, because I don't want to tip.

950
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 14: It's bullcrap.

951
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 2: And now an interesting point. Hold that thought. I like

952
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 2: the way you articulate it, and I appreciate John, I

953
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: appreciate the passion in your voice. This Wall Street Journal

954
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 2: investigator who did this story called it emotional blackmail. So

955
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: you don't mind. It's not the extra two bucks, it's

956
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: the way they're going about it. How do you feel

957
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 2: about that term emotional blackmail? What's going on.

958
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 14: Is go ahead, because I feel like I'm a piece

959
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 14: of crap. If I'm looking at this guy who's making listen,

960
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 14: I make good money. I make well into the six figures,

961
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 14: you know, less than two hundred, right around the two

962
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 14: hundred thousand.

963
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 7: Mark, you know.

964
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 14: So I make good money and I'm not afraid the

965
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 14: tip if I'm sitting down, but if I'm ot subway,

966
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 14: I feel bad this dude. I know he's not making

967
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 14: that money, and I feel bad and I feel pressure

968
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 14: the chip and it's like, uh, I don't want to

969
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 14: tip twenty five. I don't want to tip fifteen. I

970
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 14: don't want to I don't want to tip anything because

971
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 14: he's just doing what he's supposed to do.

972
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 12: Make my sandwich.

973
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 14: And I don't want to feel like he's below me,

974
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, And nothing like that.

975
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 10: I respect the dude.

976
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 7: But I came there.

977
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 12: Hey, if you.

978
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 14: Want my money, charge me extra. That's that's simple turn off.

979
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 2: You know, did you have excellent points? Real quickly? Are

980
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 2: you gonna watch the Olympics? Have you lost their luster?

981
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 15: Listen?

982
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 14: When I was growing up, I was all, I'm a

983
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 14: young black well I still consider himself a young black man.

984
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 10: Maybe I'm not.

985
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 14: I'm in my forties. But all I cared about was

986
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 14: the Olympics. Every year, the Olympics. And then in the

987
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 14: early two thousands, I got into soccer and I started

988
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 14: over betting. You know, I got into uh uh, the

989
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 14: soccer team that comes up every three years. You know,

990
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 14: I got and the vast stuff and we don't have

991
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 14: any more heroes. Where's our heroes. Where's the Michael Phelps,

992
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 14: Where's the Michael Jordan's.

993
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 6: The dream team?

994
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 14: We don't have any more heroes. The black chick that

995
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 14: does the Olympics, that tumbles around and all that stuff,

996
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 14: we don't have. She's not even popular anymore. She has

997
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 14: on a subway mobiles. I don't even think she's the

998
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 14: subway commercials anymore. Where are heroes that used to be

999
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 14: the American dream that used to be all over the place.

1000
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 14: I don't mean serially anymore, but they used to be

1001
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 14: all over Weedy's this commercial quick call American Heroes where

1002

Speaker 11: The problem is.

1004
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 14: Everyone wants to go to all these social media stupid

1005
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 14: people and in the housewives of this that and whatever.

1006
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 14: Forget these people.

1007
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 10: There are a bunch of losers.

1008
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,920

00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 2: ask you a question. When she goes to the subway and

1040
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 2: guilty conscience, sort of passively aggressively reminding you that you

1041

1043
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 16: Hey, I'm good, Bernie. You know, before I get to

1044
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 16: the Olympics, I don't tip machines, man. You know, I

1045
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 16: tip people so you can take the machines and you

1046
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 16: know where you can stick it.

1047
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 10: So that's my that's my.

1048
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 2: Do you feel like if you walk and you do

1049
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 2: a takeout order at a restaurant that sit down, but

1050
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 2: you go to the takeout part and all they've done

1051
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 2: is take the order over the phone, but they put

1052
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: the tip screen in front of you. You do you tip?

1053
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 16: Then? You know what when I pick up at a

1054
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 16: restaurant and there's this servers there that put the meal together,

1055
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 16: and you tip them a little something, and again I'm

1056
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 16: I'm tipping people. You know. Regarding the Olympics, I think

1057
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 16: you are correct. I think the golden age of the

1058
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 16: Olympics is no more. That's gone.

1059
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 2: Man.

1060
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 16: It's just it's besides the rivalries like you're talking about

1061
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 16: between you know, countries or between the United States and

1062
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 16: the big superpowers. I don't see any personalities. As far

1063
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 16: as you know, there were there were. There were big

1064
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 16: things between various athletes from other countries in in a

1065
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 16: respectful way. And I think that also back in the

1066
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 16: day he just had television with what you know, twenty stations.

1067
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 16: When you've got two hundred and twenty now and social media,

1068
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 16: there is so much entertainment. I don't have the time

1069
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 16: of patients to sit for an hour or two and

1070
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 16: watch that, and I don't think other people do as well.

1071
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 16: You got to catch them quick. I can watch something

1072
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 16: on Instagram. I think I saw an eighty nine year

1073
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 16: old a woman hurdler the other day and it was

1074
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 16: like a minute and a half and I went cool, done,

1075
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 16: it was great. I loved it next, you know. So

1076
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 16: I think that that's affected viewing habits from modern day

1077
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 16: people as well. So I'm not putting it big on

1078
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 16: my list. It's one of those things if I happened

1079
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 16: to catch it. But I don't even watch that much

1080
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 16: television anymore. I'm on Netflix and Instagram.

1081
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 2: All right. The NBA is going to love you good stuff, Solomon.

1082
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 2: Appreciate you, buddy. Mike in Houston joins us Mike, how

1083
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 2: are you.

1084
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 10: Good morning, Bernie. Okay, we'll get to it. The Olympics.

1085
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 10: Don't watch him anymore. I remember as a kid then

1086
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 10: known as Brush Jenner, I remember getting really excited about that.

1087
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 10: In the fact, that made my mom start buying the

1088
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 10: wheaties so I could get him on the box, even

1089
00:57:55,000 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 10: though I've never tried wheaties before that time. The nineteen

1090
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 10: eighty got canceled due to political differences. If you recall

1091
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 10: through the US.

1092
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 2: And then the Russians good and then don't forget Mike.

1093
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 2: The Russians paid us back in eighty four in LA

1094
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: when they didn't send their team which to finish the Olympics.

1095
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 10: And for me, now call me an old fogie. That's okay,

1096
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 10: I've been called worse. I thought I kind of lost

1097
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 10: his lesson when us the US stopped using amateur basketball

1098
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 10: comes to mind. Although I was I was intalled with

1099
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 10: the ninety two Dream Team when I watched basketball. I

1100
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 10: don't watch it anymore. I've thought it what I wanted

1101
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 10: to amre still out and compete with the best from

1102
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 10: the other countries. For me, and you have two great calls.

1103
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 10: The guy from Pennsylvania to the other guy right behind him.

1104
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 10: Where's the national pride anymore? I couldn't. I couldn't agree

1105
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 10: with that more than that, just you know it's commercial anyway.

1106
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 10: The kipping thing, No, I do not believe in zipping

1107
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 10: a machine tonight. Going to visit my mom. She likes

1108
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 10: his dish from this particular restaurant, and you pay, then

1109
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 10: they turn around and uh, you know, do a tip option?

1110
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 10: Uh they don't. They don't bring out by food. They

1111
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 10: don't do it. And I'm sorry. I know the economy

1112
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 10: is bad and I'm not going to get political. We

1113
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 10: all have our different opinions on that, but lots of

1114
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 10: people are hurting right now. I understand they're hurt the

1115
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 10: restaurant business. I'll pit delivery drivers absolutely, that's a hard

1116
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 10: job and they're providing a service service right now.

1117
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm more alluding to when you go to a self checkout,

1118
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 2: or even if you go to a bakery or coffee

1119
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 2: shop and all someone that was take your order and

1120
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 2: they're looking for tim. That's the kind of emotional blackmail

1121
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 2: people talk about. We had an earlier call.

1122
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 10: THK it was they go ahead, Well no, I no,

1123
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 10: I just don't feel guilty about it at all. It's

1124
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 10: off of the other thing that some of these places

1125
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 10: and we need to name the stores of self checkout,

1126
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 10: of taking away jobs. I mean, it's it's sad. It

1127
00:59:59,160 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 10: just is.

1128
00:59:59,680 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 12: No.

1129
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 10: I don't feel guilty one iota about it. If you're

1130
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 10: serving the waiters, waitress, you're performing a service, and I

1131
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 10: will tip applicably, you know, But no skip for Kip's sake.

1132
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 10: When you're just making fu you're not making any extra effort.

1133
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: No, thank you, all right, great call. I appreciate it

1134
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,439
Speaker 2: covered a lot of ground, and for what it's worth.

1135
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 2: At survey the Wall Street Journal did showed that about

1136
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 2: seventy percent of customers they refuse to tip, either for

1137
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 2: fast food or self serve experiences. So you know that

1138
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 2: goes Poppy. Poppy in San Diego is up next, by

1139
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 2: the way, top credit Poppy. Last week you said take

1140
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 2: the w NBA All Stars plus the five points to

1141
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 2: beat the Olympic team. So that was a winner for

1142
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 2: the Poppy followers. We got tonight, Poppy, Thank you, thank you.

1143
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 15: Bernie. Well you know what's tonight. It's over here, come

1145
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 15: tell stories, but look on the Olympics. I just think that,

1146
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 15: you know, the opening ceremony when team the Mexico team

1147
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 15: was going under and the French they threw water and

1148
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 15: the whole Mexican team. So I want Mexico to get

1149
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 15: revenge and get a lot of gold medals.

1150
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: That's why you watch for that. Okay, So you got

1151
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 2: a storyline there.

1152
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 15: Yeah yeah. Overall, well I do I do want on

1153
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:14,920

Speaker 2: They're laying fourteen to get Serbia.

1160
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I'll go past fourteen. Bernie. You know why

1161
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 15: because they're comparing themselves to the Dream Team. Well, you

1162
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 15: better do better than Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

1163
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 15: So if you want to be compared to that level

1164
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 15: of pron Jim, I know you're listening, you better step up.

1165
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me if they blow out Serbia,

1166
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 2: because I think you're gonna come out of the gate

1167
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 2: with the house of fire. But we shall see tipping

1168
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 2: real quickly, poppy outing.

1169
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 15: Look, yeah, you know what tipping I do, will Bridge, Bernie.

1170
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 15: I know how it is. Look when I ever go

1171
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 15: to the counter and they say, hey, would you like

1172
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 15: to tip out for tipping out.

1173
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 10: When you're ordering foot to goo?

1174
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 15: No, but look I do tip when I go inside.

1175
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 15: I'm a delivery driver and I deliver foods to customers

1176
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 15: doing no great, Bernie. There's been times when I travel

1177
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 15: like ten miles and did not tip the delivery.

1178
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 2: That's wrong. No, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking

1179
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 2: you're providing a service there. Someone didn't get off their butt.

1180
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 2: There's dignity in that profession. They brought you your food,

1181
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 2: it was warned all that that deserves a tip. I'm

1182
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: talking about the self machines like you.

1183
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 15: Oh no, yeah, I would not say that, Bernie. No,

1184
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 15: that's all Ai. It's all manipulation.

1185
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: When I'm walking into a sandwich shop and they hand

1186
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 2: you the bag and they want.

1187
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 15: To tip, No, I'm not going to do that, Bernie,

1188
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 15: because that's not right. They're replacing people's jobs, taking people.

1189
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 15: That's an AI. No, I'm going to save that and

1190
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 15: tip the real people when I go to the restaurant, Bernie,

1191
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 15: All right, packy.

1192
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 2: Good stuff, but there's this pick USA minus fourteen over Serbia.

1193
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: That game tips off eight o'clock eight o'clock am Pacific

1194
01:02:54,720 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 2: time on Sunday. Fernando and Bobby don't go anywhere. You

1195
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 2: are up next on the midnight hour. But first we

1196
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 2: go back to our guy, Kevin Figures and Kevin, I

1197
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 2: gotta ask you, do you have John Singleton as part

1198
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 2: of your update?

1199
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 8: Again, I don't necessarily have John Singleton as part of

1200
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 8: my update, but I certainly can add him in there

1201
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 8: when I talk about the Houston asals beginning the Doctors

1202
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 8: five an hour.

1203
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 2: Ago, and I got, I gotta, I gotta keep it

1204
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 2: real here. Yeah, John Singleton was the great producer. Hey

1205
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 2: did two movies I really enjoyed, Boys in the Hood

1206
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 2: and Higher Learning. Absolutely died of a stroke. Very sad

1207
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 2: he died of a stroke. It's probably been about five

1208
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 2: six years now, but I can't not hear that name

1209
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 2: John Singleton without thinking about what I thought a groundbreaking

1210
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 2: movie maker he was.

1211
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 8: He's done Pheno mean, he did Poetic Justice. I mean

1212
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 8: he did a lot of great movies you know before,

1213
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 8: back in the day. So John Singleton, like you mentioned,

1214
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 8: well respected producer, not the same guy who had a.

1215
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Home line to produce hustle and flow.

1216
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 8: By the way he did hustle and flow. I think

1217
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 8: he worked on Baby Boy back in the day. I

1218
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 8: worked on Friday. Yes, I mean, you name it. You

1219
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 8: know any of those you know classics. You know John

1220
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 8: Singleton had his fingertips on it. So a phenomenal producer

1221
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 8: for sure. So and also a phenomenal producer. I guess

1222
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 8: you can say, is the John Singleton that place for

1223
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 8: the Houston Astros again, as you mentioned, hit a home

1224
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 8: run and a five to nothing victory for Houston over

1225
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 8: the Dodgers on Friday night.

1226
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 9: We'll stick to Major League Baseball since we're starting there. JD.

1227
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 8: Martinez, former Dodger, they could have used them on Friday,

1228
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 8: hit a grand stamp for the Mets. They get their

1229
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 8: fifth straight victory in eight to four victory over the Braves.

1230
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 8: Seattle scored eight runs in the first inning in a

1231
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 8: ten tohing drubbing of the White Sox. You have Boston

1232
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 8: beating the Yankees nine to seven behind Masasaka Yeshidah's three RBI.

1233
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 8: Yanks have lost five of their last six. Some news

1234
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 8: out of the NFL. On Friday Packers quarterback Jordan Love

1235
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 8: agreed to a four year, two hundred and twenty million

1236
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 8: dollar contract extension with the team. Fifty five million dollar

1237
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,959
Speaker 8: average annual value of his contract ties him with Joe

1238
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 8: Burrow and Trevor Lawrence for the highest average annual value

1239
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 8: in the history of the sports. Dolphins agreen to a

1240
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 8: four year, tw hundred and twelve million dollar contract extension

1241
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 8: with quarter back to tagoba Ala. And if you're into

1242
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 8: the Olympics, Bernie, right now you can turn on the equestrian.

1243
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 8: The equestrian if that's something that you're into. Not necessarily

1244
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 8: my cup of tea, but some people, uh, you know,

1245
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 8: might like to dabble in that sort of thing. So

1246
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 8: if you're into the equestrian, it's on live right now,

1247
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 8: along with handball, volleyball and rowing.

1248
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 2: Kevin great stuff. I've always been conflicted about equestrian. Do

1249
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 2: you give the medal of the horse or the rider?

1250
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 8: You know, that's a good point, hopefully both, which, by

1251
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 8: the way, one thing that gets me to with the

1252
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 8: Olympics the coaches don't get medals. I realized they're not athletes,

1253
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 8: but I mean, are they not instrumental in the athlete's success.

1254
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 9: It's always been odd to me.

1255
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Nice for mister Ed to check in.

1256
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 8: Yes, talented, mister Ed by the way he hit inside

1257
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 8: the park home run off the Sandy Kofax back in

1258
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 8: the day.

1259
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 2: That's right, I remember that, Kevin, Good on you, man,

1260
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 2: No good on you. That was just claps and people

1261
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 2: need to YouTube that. Uh the Diger of course he

1262
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 2: was the you know, a horse of a horse of course,

1263
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 2: of course, yes. And no one can talk to a horse,

1264
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 2: of course unless the horse is mister Ed. Great stuff.

1265
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 2: Kevin has always bud, you got a Bernie?

1266
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 14: All right?

1267
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 2: We continue with the midnight hour. Are we talking Olympics?

1268
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 2: Are we watching Olympics? And we're talking tipping? Right? You

1269
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 2: know what I'm You know what I mean. I'm not

1270
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 2: talking about when you go to a nice restaurant, the server,

1271
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 2: he's handling your entire experience, et cetera. And part of

1272
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 2: that tip, I think goes to the chef and the

1273
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 2: crew and the expeditors whatever. I've never worked in a restaurant,

1274
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 2: so I don't know what I'm talking about. But how

1275
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 2: about when you just go to a place, order a

1276
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 2: cup of coffee and they put that thing in front

1277
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 2: of you. And says, how about an twenty percent, Fernando

1278
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Good evening. How are you? Thanks

1279
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 2: for hanging on.

1280
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 17: I'm good, Bernie. Little backstory back in nineteen eighty four,

1281
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 17: I was twenty and I worked at Alle Olympics as

1282
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 17: a mini usher around around the sports arena and coliseum,

1283
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 17: and I ran into Bobby Knight, all nice, and I said, hey, coach,

1284
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 17: how you doing. He goes, don't talk to me.

1285
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 2: Ask why it cut Charles Barkley.

1286
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 17: Yeah, he said, no, talk to me, leave me up.

1287
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 17: But anyway, the Enlisted nineteen ninety six was my favorite,

1288
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 17: with Janet Evans.

1289
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 2: Atlanta right, Atlanta right.

1290
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 17: And then when the two thousands came, there was too

1291
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 17: much corruption, too much doping scandals. So this will be

1292
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 17: my first Olympics since nineteen eighty nineteen ninety six. I'll

1293
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 17: be watching and looking forward to the women's basketball and

1294
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 17: the men's basketball, chat and swimming, the usual, the ones

1295
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 17: that were strong at and with the tipping. Hey went

1296
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 17: in Rome, went in Paris, went in Vegas. Tip both ways.

1297
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 17: If I have a three hundred dollar bill, you know

1298
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 17: I'll tip sixty dollars. Given bits of the machine, I'll

1299
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 17: give you know, twenty to fifty dollars, so why not, Well, here,

1300
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:57,439
Speaker 17: we're enough.

1301
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm kind of you know, I'm kind of with you,

1302
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 2: but I know that it's in a front to a

1303
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 2: lot of people. And by the way, the thing I

1304
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 2: remember about the ninety six Olympics was Kerrie strugg She

1305
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: got hurt, she really hurt her ankle when she landed

1306
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 2: awkwardly on a dismount and she came back a couple

1307
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 2: of nights later and won the goal, and that moved

1308
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people. But that was one of those

1309
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 2: events that you look forward look moving into the Olympics.

1310
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 2: But to your point, you're looking forward to watching some

1311
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 2: of the events, and fair enough. Bobby in Los Angeles

1312
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 2: joined this. Hi, Bobby, how are you, Bunny, Yes, sir,

1313
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 2: you're on the air, Bobby.

1314
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I won't be watching the Olympics.

1315
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 14: You pretty much hit it on the head.

1316
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 7: It's lost its luster.

1317
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,879
Speaker 14: I'm a huge football fan. I love the NFL.

1318
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 10: I'm huge.

1319
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 14: I love the Washington Commanders, and I can think about

1320
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 14: all talk about the NFL.

1321
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 2: So I'll be a lot of NFL on my show

1322
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 2: Saturday Night. By the way, and by the way, that's

1323
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 2: fair They're giving you something to look forward to, which

1324
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 2: I think is maybe how I should have couched this.

1325
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 2: The Olympics no longer really gives us something to look

1326
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 2: forward to.

1327
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love the NFL when Gibbs was there eighty

1328
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 7: one to ninety two, those were there happiest gready hears

1329
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,440
Speaker 7: of our life.

1330
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 2: A couple of Super Bowls. The hey by the way,

1331
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 2: you know, Bobby, you know a week from Thursday, we

1333
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 2: be watching Bear's textans. Okay, anything on the tipping front, Bobby,

1334
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 2: you walk into a sandwich shop or a coffee shop.

1335
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 7: I always tip everywhere I go, Bernie, I tip everywhere.

1336
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 14: Even when I go to a bookstore, I tip.

1337
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:33,799
Speaker 16: I mean the history of the Los Angeles Lakers.

1338
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 7: I give a tip.

1339
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 14: You know, I'm an hege book reader.

1340
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that's good, good stuff, Bobby. I appreciate it. Man.

1341
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 2: Look I'm kind of the same way. I actually feel

1342
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 2: better after I do it. But look, the most boring

1343
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 2: conversations are when everybody agrees, and we have got good

1344
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 2: diversity opinions tonight from you know, from folks who have

1345
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 2: thoughts about this because we're all consumers. We all go

1346
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 2: out to eat, and sometimes you go to a you

1347
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 2: find yourself in a situation where you're in a hurd,

1348
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 2: you'd take out, and all of a sudden, there's this

1349
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 2: new phenomenon. They didn't used to do this, not that

1350
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 2: I can ever remember where there was a sort of this,

1351
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 2: you know, passive aggressive, suggestive situation that put some people off.

1352
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 2: Andre in Massachusetts, you're up next, Good evening, Andrew.

1353
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 11: How are you are you doing, Bernie? Thanks for taking

1354
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 11: the call first boy. Yet I look forward to the Olympics.

1355
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 11: No luster has been lost. It's an absolute treat and privilege.

1356
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 11: It only comes around once every four years. And what

1357
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 11: are we talking about here? Well, left at three o'clock

1358
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 11: in the morning here on the East Coast when I'm

1359
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 11: tuned in, we got all these different sports going on

1360
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 11: a questioning, people riding horses. I'm looking at Lebron James,

1361
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 11: you know, doing open ceremonial stor Once every four years

1362
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,520
Speaker 11: the world comes together centered around sports. It's absolutely tremendous

1363
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 11: and specifically for me coming from the basketball tradition. Look

1364
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 11: Team USA Poppy. They shout out to Poppy with the winner.

1365
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 11: In terms of WNBA Versus USA and the All Star Game,

1366
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 11: But are you kidding me? With Team USA? They haven't

1367
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 11: covered the spread yet forty three points against South Ku Dan,

1368
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 11: I wish I had talked to Poppy before that game.

1369
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 11: They were down fourteen points a halftime. Bernie, they haven't

1370
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 11: covered the spread yet, So that's an incredible storyline for

1371
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 11: me because they got all these stars. But look, Bernie,

1372
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 11: the Olympics is in Paris, France, and Paris France has

1373
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 11: a juggernaut of a team.

1374
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 2: Okay, talking about when be talking about you know, you

1375
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 2: recall we lost to Paris and last the Libs. You

1376
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 2: know we won the gold.

1377
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 11: Okay, but again it's in their country and their team

1378
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 11: is loaded.

1379
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 2: I'm gonna agree with with your point. Did that that

1380
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 2: adds a dynamic to this go ahead, go ahead, Ubrey,

1381
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 2: So I.

1382
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 11: Just think, you know, that's going to be fascinating in

1383
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 11: terms of, you know, everyone's just crowd in USA. They

1384
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 11: have a very difficult journey and they haven't played well yet.

1385
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 11: I hope they covered the spread in his first game

1386
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 11: and blow a team out, but I haven't seen a

1387
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 11: blowout yet from the team, so I don't trust them now, Bernie,

1388
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 11: to your point about tipping. It's a great conversation.

1389
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 14: Look the place.

1390
01:11:58,439 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 11: First of all, I'm not I'm not I'm not a

1391
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 11: you know, Richie rich over here. Okay, I don't have

1392
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 11: no I'm not Daddy Warbuck's first, you know, grandson or whatever.

1393
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 11: But a lot of the places I go to I

1394
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 11: go to consistently, my cafes, like these are my people,

1395
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 11: you know what I mean. So even if I because

1396
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 11: I'm just in and out, you know what I mean,

1397
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 11: I don't sit down to me. I go in, you know,

1398
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 11: get my boo boop, and then and I'm out and

1399
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 11: I'm moving. But I feel inclined to tip, Bernie, because

1400
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 11: these are my people good, you know, I'm so if

1401
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 11: I if I go to a restaurant or a cafe consistently,

1402
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 11: they have to get a tip, even if I'm just

1403
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 11: going in and going out. But if I'm like, you know,

1404
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 11: but if you're going to place that's bad service or

1405
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 11: like you're not really familiar, then I agree, you know,

1406
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 11: there's they shouldn't really be expecting it because I don't

1407
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 11: really know you, you don't really know me. But if it's

1408
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 11: a local, homegrown place, you've got to support your people, Bernie,

1409
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 11: thanks so much taking the call.

1410
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,759
Speaker 2: All right. He brought up a couple of really good points. Andre.

1411
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 2: First of all, the Olympics correct only come around every

1412
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 2: four years, so that and that alone might be an

1413
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 2: impetus enough to at least sample. And that's kind of

1414
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 2: where I am. I will I'm a junkie, so you

1415
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 2: can't compare anything to me. The second thing is if

1416
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,839
Speaker 2: he mentioned that it feels obligated to tip just because

1417
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 2: and I'm kind of in that. I'm kind of in

1418
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 2: that corner, so you know, here, I may, you know,

1419
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 2: dislocate my elbow from from patting myself on the back,

1420
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 2: but I do this, and friends who know me as

1421
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 2: crack man. Where I et in Vegas, I frequent a

1422
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 2: lot of places I tip thirty percent. And the reason

1423
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 2: I do that is because if you go out for

1424
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 2: a meal and it's say it's sixty bucks or thirty percent,

1425
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 2: tips eighteen bucks. But if you tip twenty, that's twelve.

1426
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 2: So really not talking about eighteen. We're talking about six dollars,

1427
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 2: which is different between twelve and eighteen. And I've never

1428
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 2: worked in a food establishment, but I know these people

1429
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 2: rely on their tips, and you don't know what their

1430
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 2: situation is, if they're supporting kids or whatever. So for

1431
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 2: six bucks more or if it's a forty dollars meal

1432
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 2: for four bucks more, you get it. You're making somebody's

1433
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 2: day because they know they do this for a living,

1434
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 2: and say, wow, that person tipped me thirty So I

1435
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 2: feel better about the whole situation. I do, And I

1436
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,759
Speaker 2: think we should be generous to the extent we can time, talent,

1437
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 2: and treasure. If you're blessed, and I'm blessed, you should

1438
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 2: be generous again. But I don't put the mid at

1439
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 2: hour topics out there so I can spew. I want

1440
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 2: to hear what the people got to space, especially this

1441
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 2: next guy. Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome in the comedic stylings,

1442
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 2: you know me love them the candle without them. Man,

1443
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 2: weell in Guardina, what's up? Buddy?

1444
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 10: Baby burn shines action him in a chain reaction. Bernie,

1445
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 10: Oh man, you are touching on.

1446
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 18: A few things near and dear to my heart.

1447
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 15: So I'm gonna start off on the tipping since we

1448
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 15: just left there.

1449
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 10: I also am I Hey, I mean, I don't go

1450
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 10: thirty percent. I even go twenty to twenty five.

1451
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 18: When there's good workers and stuff. I cannot be guilt

1452
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 18: tripped though, no matter what. As far as that man,

1453
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 18: I ain't tripping. Man, they can look at me however

1454
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 18: they want. If it's crappy service, they ain't getting a

1455
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 18: good tip, and then a machine is getting no chip.

1456
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 18: If I take out and you handle my k meal,

1457
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 18: I'll probably throw you like five bucks, but I'm not

1458
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 18: going percentages at that point.

1459
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 14: Now it's the.

1460
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 7: Olympics, Bernie.

1461
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 19: Do you talk about a bastardization of a sports pantheon?

1462
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 18: You know this thing's been going on for more than

1463
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 18: one hundred years, man.

1464
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 19: And now you got the likes of these things. They're

1465
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 19: supposed to be athletes, like skateboarders and like I mean,

1466
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 19: and they're actually on the higher end that curly just

1467
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 19: a bunch of crap, man, what happened?

1468
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 2: The main thing is because I'm up against it here, man, Well,

1487
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 2: our USA basketball team hasn't blown on anyone. We beat

1488
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 2: Serbia by thirty true true story. Brie. Let's start with

1489
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 2: you your thoughts on the Olympics. Are they appointment watching?

1490
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 2: And why are they? You know, have they lost? Or

1491
01:16:58,760 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 2: lester and tipping Hi.

1492
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 20: I think the NBA like or the NBA or basketball

1493
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 20: in the Olympics because my love for the NBA like,

1494
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 20: I will watch at least like the men's basketball team

1495
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 20: for sure, one hundred percent because Devin Booker, you know,

1496
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 20: I'm a Suns fan, so I will at least watch that.

1497
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 20: I don't know about really any other sports. And I

1498
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 20: think because we're just so saturated with entertainment and content now,

1499
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 20: like it's just not as much like as a big

1500
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 20: deal to watch one.

1501
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 2: Thing good point so many other choices and we didn't

1502
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 2: really necessarily always have that. Have you ever worked in

1503
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 2: the food service industry.

1504
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 20: I worked at cheesecake factory for two weeks.

1505
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 2: Two weeks. Yes, oh come on, I got to hear

1506
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 2: I gotta hear you.

1507
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 20: But my dad, okay, go ahead, And my dad was

1508
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 20: a bartender. So I have a huge like love and

1509
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,719
Speaker 20: appreciation for people in the food industry and the food

1510
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 20: and drink industry. And he was you know, he's in

1511
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 20: Vegas with you.

1512
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 9: So I believe in tipping.

1513
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 20: You know, if somebody is in front of me and

1514
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 20: I have a relation communication and just like are building

1515
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 20: like that short little bond, like I will, you know,

1516
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 20: give half my four oh one k if I have to,

1517
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 20: if somebody's incredible. But in regards to like machines, like never,

1518
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 20: I would never give them a cent.

1519
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 2: How about when you fall in the middle where you

1520
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: are maybe buying dinner for some peeps. You drive into

1521
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 2: the drive in the V window you had to take

1522
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 2: out whendo, you walk into that little cubby hole where

1523
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 2: they hand you a big bag wrapped up and then

1524
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 2: they put the tipping thing in front of you.

1525
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 20: What about that if the bag's already wrapped up and

1526
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 20: they didn't add like any like barbecue sauce or with

1527
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 20: sabby or ginger like, probably not. But if they added

1528
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 20: like some chopsticks and asked for or asked if I

1529
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 20: wanted any utensils or anything, I'll tip for that.

1530
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 2: Okay, tell what we're gonna do. I want to get

1531
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 2: Mark and I certainly want to get Kevin figures thoughts

1532
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 2: on this. I don't want to cut him short, so

1533
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 2: we're going to do that right after the top of

1534
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 2: the hour. Great job are the callers tonight on the

1535
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 2: midnight hour? As as usual, it was an outstanding I

1536
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: think amalgam of thoughts. It was some really damn good ones.

1537
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 2: And you know, after the show ins tonight you can

1538
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 2: go back and hear the podcast, and you want to

1539
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 2: do that because Brio put it up and you want

1540
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 2: to hear these calls, so we'll get to Kevin and

1541
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:11,720

1552
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 2: you show up the hand of the bag, but if

1553
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 2: they're looking out for you with the extra condiments or

1554
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 2: utensils or whatever, that's something. It reminds me of a

1555
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 2: story a local place here. I kind of like they're

1556
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 2: fish and chips, but I like the vinegar and I

1557
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 2: like the tartar sauce too. So I show up, and

1558
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 2: I've been there a bunch of times, and I always tip,

1559
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 2: even if it's a take out under our tip. Well,

1560
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 2: I ran into this one gentleman once it was all

1561
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 2: up at his attitude and the bag was already sealed,

1562
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, you remembered to put the the

1563
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 2: the tartar sauce and the vinegar. Right, Yeah? Yeah, man,

1564
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 2: I don'd forget that. Are you sure? Could we checking? Non?

1565
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 2: So I didn't check the bag because my Catholic guilt

1566
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 2: kick tipped in, kicked in, and I trusted him. I

1567
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 2: got home. Guess what. There was no tartar sauce, there

1568
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 2: was no vinegar, and I'd already tipped him. Guess hobody

1569
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 2: been times have been back to that place? Yeah, you

1570
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 2: guessed it, same many times as you have. So there's

1571
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 2: always layers to this stuff coming up. We continue on

1582
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 2: get to a couple of massive signings Friday in the

1583
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,639
Speaker 2: National Football League, and what I believe the ripple effects

1584
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 2: are going to be. Let's continue on, ever so quickly

1585
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 2: with the crew, their thoughts on the Olympics, whether or

1586
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 2: not they've lost their luster, and the tipping phenomenon when

1587
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 2: you come across a situation where you really unprovided service,

1588
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 2: but somebody puts a tablet in front of your face

1589
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 2: and asking for a tip. Kevin figures, let's start with

1590
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 2: you either subject you can begin with.

1591
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, as far as the Olympics losing their luster, they

1592
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 8: definitely have to a certain degree. And the big thing

1593
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,520
Speaker 8: for me is having to wait for the prime time coverage,

1594
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 8: you know, knowing having the network tell you what the

1595
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 8: most important event was back in the day is just

1596
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 8: no longer needed. So I'm into a certain amount of sports.

1597
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 8: I'm into the basketball, like re mentioned last hour, for

1598
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 8: obvious reasons, is probably the most the sport that the

1599
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:18,759
Speaker 8: majority of people who are regular sports fans.

1600
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 9: Will be the most intrigued by.

1601
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 8: But even within that, I don't know if TMOSA is

1602
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 8: playing at eight fifteen in the morning, I gotta watch it.

1603
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 8: It's like, no, if I know that they're playing, if

1604
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 8: it's nine thirty, I'll check in and see how they did,

1605
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 8: or I'll keep close tabs on it. But I don't

1606
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 8: necessarily think that I have to sit in front of

1607
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 8: my TV and stop what I'm doing to make sure

1608
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 8: that I watch them.

1609
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 9: My wife was a volleyball player.

1610
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 8: She knows some people that play for the Beach volleyball team,

1611
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 8: so that's something that I'll keep a close eye on

1612
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 8: to a certain degree as well along with her. But

1613
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 8: I'm not going to go out of my way to

1614
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 8: make sure that I keep tabs on each and every

1615
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 8: single solitary event, you know, the equestrian like I talked

1616
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 8: about last hour, or some of the other events just

1617
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:57,520
Speaker 8: not really in my wheelhouse and absent any major storyline

1618
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 8: surrounding them. There's really no reason for me to keep

1619
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 8: close hat tabs on the sport that I generally would

1620
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 8: not follow.

1621
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's fair. And so unless you have,

1622
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 2: you know, a vesting interest in a sport you already like,

1623
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 2: or maybe some other personal angle, there's not the broad

1624
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 2: based storyline that's going to be an attraction.

1625
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 8: Correct, Correct, So that's the and look, maybe if if

1626
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 8: it's on in the background, it basically what the Olympics

1627
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 8: turns into generally speaking over these last few cycles, for me,

1628
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 8: Bernie is if I'm home and I'm doing stuff it's

1629
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 8: on in the background, if there's some live action going on,

1630
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 8: that that's essentially what it amounts to.

1631
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 2: So we had a really good call earlier in the

1632
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 2: night who mentioned that if he walks into a sandwich

1633
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 2: shop and they put a you know, tip tablet in

1634
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,640
Speaker 2: front of his face, that's botherish him. But if you

1635
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 2: want the extra two bucks or the fight, just charge

1636
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 2: me more for the sandwich. But the way that that's

1637
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 2: you know, transpiring now, and it has been for the

1638
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 2: last couple of years, I think a lot of people

1639
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 2: take umbrage with how do you feel about the tipping? Yeah?

1640
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 8: I agree, And it's popped up left and right in

1641
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 8: every single walk of life. Look, if you are you

1642
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 8: you mentioned we mentioned subway as as an example. Yes,

1643
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 8: people are providing a service and I guess making I

1644
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 8: guess they're called sandwich artists.

1645
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 9: I guess is the title that they're given. But that's

1646
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 9: also their job.

1647
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 8: You know, it's not necessarily a service, like like a

1648
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 8: server who would typically get a tip for the service

1649
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,679
Speaker 8: they're providing you over and above what you're already ordering.

1650
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 8: These places that you walk in and you order something

1651
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 8: where literally someone has to reach behind them grab something

1652
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 8: and hand it to you with all due respect, I'm

1653
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 8: not going to tip you for that. You didn't do

1654
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 8: anything with all due respect. So I kind of have

1655
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 8: no issues whatsoever if it's not something a service that

1656
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 8: you're actually going out of your way, whether it's making

1657
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 8: a drink or you know, as an actual server at

1658
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,759
Speaker 8: a restaurant, I have no qualms about not tipping.

1659
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 9: And I realized they try to guilp people into it.

1660
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 8: You're not going to guild me into that because I'm

1661
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 8: not going to go over and above you know, what

1662
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 8: is necessary. And so look, I understand why the companies

1663
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 8: do it, because they recognize a lot of people are

1664
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 8: going to basically feel the social pressure and give into it.

1665
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 8: And I guess more to them, But there's an element

1666
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 8: of me that just feels like that they're really doing

1667
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 8: people wrong and you're preying on people. To go back

1668
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 8: to the original point of the topic, so it doesn't

1669
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,639
Speaker 8: necessarily affect me, burning I don't really care. I will

1670
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 8: tip people who I think deserve to be tipped, or

1671
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:17,719
Speaker 8: work in the industry where tips are warranted, but outside

1672
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 8: of that, I have no qualms about not tipping in

1673
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 8: a situation where it isn't warranted.

1674
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 2: They covered a lot of good ground there, and I

1675
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 2: think you're in good company. Probably seventy five percent of

1676
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 2: the people feel the way you do, and I think

1677
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 2: you allude to the larger issue here. You make the

1678
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 2: distinction if there's a customer experience, not just customer service,

1679
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 2: but customer experience. We've all had that server that refills

1680
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 2: your water grass before you've had to ask for it,

1681
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 2: or refills your drink before you've had to ask for

1682
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 2: it right or they seat you right away, or maybe

1683
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 2: the meal's taken a little bit longer, but they're always

1684
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 2: communicating I hate It'll be right with you, you know,

1685
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, sorry for the lake? Can I get

1686
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 2: you an appetizer block? Well, they're communicating with you because

1687
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 2: people can deal with good news, people can do with

1688
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 2: bad news. They don't like to deal with uncertainty. And

1689
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 2: if you're sitting there waiting and you're seeing people wander

1690
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 2: by you, you know, like a boss right and left,

1691
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 2: and no one's letting you know what's happening. Where's your food?

1692
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,519
Speaker 2: You know? Part of that service is the ability to

1693
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 2: create the experience, so while you're waiting there, you understand

1694
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 2: what's going on whatever. I think your point is taken.

1695
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:27,799
Speaker 2: So if you don't have that customer experience or customer

1696
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 2: service simply because it's a transactional situation, then you are

1697
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 2: preying upon people somewhat. I believe in a passive aggressive way.

1698
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 2: I think that's the way seventy five percent of the

1699
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 2: people see it. Now I've already out of myself. I

1700
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 2: am one of those suckers. I just do it. But

1701
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 2: it's a topic because the first time I saw what's this,

1702
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 2: It's like the first time I walked into a Carls

1703
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 2: Junior many many many years ago in order to die coke,

1704
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,679
Speaker 2: and they put a cup on the table. I said,

1705
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 2: what is this? Sir? Would you election fries with that?

1706
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 2: I said, well not if you're gonna give me a

1707
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 2: potato and a knife. What are we doing here? Oh,

1708
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 2: to help yourself service machine? So they transform us as

1709
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 2: a society anyway, Good stuff, Kevin. You covered a lot

1710
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,720
Speaker 2: of good really good ground there, Mark Ramsey, you got

1711
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 2: the last word from the Food City of Chicago. Your thought,

1712
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 2: let's start with tipping first.

1713
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 21: When it comes to tipping, I don't want to tip

1714
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 21: a machine because in the whole scheme of things, certain

1715
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 21: machines are taking away jobs from people. So I'm not

1716
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 21: gonna be intimidated by tipping. When a machine is pushed

1717
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 21: in front of me, I'm not going to do that.

1718
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 2: Okay. Your thoughts on the Olympics are the appointment viewing

1719
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 2: for you? Have they lost their luster? What's the deal?

1720
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 21: I think they've lost their luster for me because, like

1721
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,440
Speaker 21: one of the callers said, there's not many certain heroes

1722
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 21: and the track and field that I'm watch or some

1723
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 21: of the various events that are around.

1724
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 9: There's no big hype about it.

1725
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 21: I do give in to, you know, advertising, you know,

1726
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 21: looking forward to something, and there's not many games or

1727
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 21: athletes that I'm looking forward to. If I still had

1728
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 21: Network TV, I could always watch highlights, but there's nothing

1729
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 21: that I'm looking forward to. One of the callers didn't

1730
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 21: mention that there's a certain pride that other countries have

1731
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:36,640
Speaker 21: for representing their country, which it appears that politically America

1732
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 21: has been having a couple of generations say they don't

1733
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 21: like their country, so that pride has gone away from

1734
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 21: wanting to you know, scream USA at an event or

1735
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 21: sporting event. So that's a part of why certain luster

1736
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:55,719
Speaker 21: of Olympics has died.

1737
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 3: For me.

1738
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 2: Listen, if you put your ear to the pavement, there

1739
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:05,879
Speaker 2: are a lot of people who actually share that sentiment.

1740
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 2: I observed. I observed people rooting against the women's soccer

1741
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 2: team not only during the Olympics, during the World Cup

1742
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 2: because there's some things they didn't like. The Maga Appino said,

1743
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 2: and I realized, she thinks she's smarter than the rest

1744
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 2: of us, and she's going to save the world with

1745
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 2: their intellectual and moral superiority. But she's also got a

1746
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,680
Speaker 2: right to speak her mind, and people have a right

1747
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 2: to react. And so has that cut into the national product?

1748
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 2: You cut? You know, you bringing a really good point there.

1749
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 21: Because people have you know, everybody has a right to

1750
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,760
Speaker 21: say something, and they also have to watch out for

1751
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 21: other people responding to what they say. So there's that

1752
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 21: whole give and take. If you're going to say something,

1753
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 21: be ready for people to respond to you or begin

1754
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 21: to ignore you, because they don't have to watch you,

1755
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 21: they don't have to listen to you, they don't have

1756
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 21: to be enthralve with you. So you could say what

1757
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:00,120
Speaker 21: you want, but then people are going to respond how

1758
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:01,960
Speaker 21: they're going to respond, and they might not want to

1759
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 21: watch you anymore for various reasons.

1760
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 2: Listen, every action has a reaction, And yeah, you can

1761
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 2: say what you want that that's all true, but you

1762
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 2: get what comes with it as well. And some people

1763
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 2: maybe agreed with her, right, some people be careful what

1764
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 2: you wish for that type of thing. But that I think,

1765
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 2: you know, we became somewhat somewhat of an issue. You're

1766
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 2: not wrong, all right. So the Miami Dolphins made headlines Friday,

1767
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 2: a big time to a guy I've always rooted for,

1768
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 2: got the bag four years, two hundred and twelve million,

1769
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 2: includes one hundred and sixty seven million guaranteed, and just

1770
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 2: a few hours later, clearly they clearly they must have

1771
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 2: been watching to see where the markt was. Jordan Lovey,

1772
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:55,679
Speaker 2: I think very deserving. You know, the last nine games

1773
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 2: of the season, eighteen touchdowns, one interception strolls into Dallas.

1774
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 2: As Kevin would say, Molly wop the Cowboys. That was

1775
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 2: big time win a lot of folks. Field green Bay

1776
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 2: will very much compete for a you know, the NFC

1777
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 2: North Championship the year Jordan Love gets a deal for

1778
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty million, And so these guys are

1779
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 2: really on the map now, Jordan Love to uh, when

1780
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 2: you look at the quarterbacks and how much they're paid annually,

1781
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,000
Speaker 2: they're they're right up there, right up there in that

1782
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 2: in that rarefied air. I think what Trevor Lawrence and

1783
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow get like fifty five, and now these guys

1784
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,400
Speaker 2: are getting like fifty three. It's big time. But but

1785
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 2: I also think I also think they deserved it, right

1786
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 2: and right behind them is Jared Goff and Justin Herbert.

1787
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,800
Speaker 2: But all of a sudden right now, don't don't look back,

1788
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 2: but these guys and we'll see, we'll see how they

1789
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 2: do coming up this year. Are there? You know what

1790
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:51,800
Speaker 2: what are what are the residual effects of this? Because

1791
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 2: they're going to be residual effects. You don't think Dak Prescott,

1792
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 2: Team Prescott's watching this. He wanted some leverage in his

1793
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,639
Speaker 2: negotiations with the He's already got a no trade clause,

1794
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 2: a no franchise trade clause, and he's a fifty five

1795
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 2: million dollar cap it in twenty twenty four. So that's

1796
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 2: leveraged to get a massive deal for Jerry Jones. So

1797
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:15,000
Speaker 2: if you're Dak's people, I don't know if I agree

1798
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 2: with this or not, but i'll that's what they're gonna say.

1799
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 2: If goff is worth fifty three million a year and

1800
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,559
Speaker 2: two is worth fifty three point one million a year.

1801
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 2: Dak through thirty six touchdowns last year and finished second

1802
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:30,760
Speaker 2: in QBR. Now we all know what he did in

1803
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs, but the things are slotted. So is Dak's

1804
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 2: average annual value sixty million. Prescott said he wants to

1805
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 2: be there, but he's also realistic that maybe not. So

1806
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 2: look what is the residual effect here? Jerry Jones recently

1807
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: said I do not think this will be his last

1808
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 2: year with the Cowboys at all. I don't know what

1809
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 2: he means by that. What if they go seven and

1810
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,720
Speaker 2: ten or if they don't even make the playoffs. That's

1811
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 2: a possibility. I'm telling you, that's a possibility. And this,

1812
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 2: you know, has reached its bordered, lying down to the absurd.

1813
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Now to leave Dak Hangen, I'm not a Dak guy,

1814
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 2: But I know you got a problem here. You really

1815
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 2: want to go back to the you know, you really

1816
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:22,040
Speaker 2: want to go back to the Drew Henson days, Quincy

1817
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 2: Carter days. Dak keeps him relevant, although people are gonna

1818
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 2: watch the Cowboys no matter what. So the bottom line

1819
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:32,240
Speaker 2: is Jerry Jones and I respect Jerry Jones, but he

1820
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 2: failed to learn that back in twenty twenty when he

1821
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 2: had this last Kubookie dance with Dak Prescott and Dallas

1822
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 2: was finally forced to sign him. They gave him a

1823
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:45,960
Speaker 2: four year deal, and they could have given him a

1824
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 2: deal after twenty twenty two and his asking price might

1825
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 2: have been reduced. That might have been made sense. But

1826
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 2: that wasn't a good Dak year. But Jerry likes to

1827
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 2: you know, it's good to be the king. Another residual

1828
01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:01,640
Speaker 2: effect you got Jalen Hurts, the NFL's highest paid quarterback.

1829
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 2: He had a five year, two hundred and fifty five

1830
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:06,519
Speaker 2: million dollars deal. It's fifty one million dollars annually in

1831
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 2: April of last year, so fifteen months later, don't look now,

1832
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 2: Hurts is the seventh ran among quarterbacks, and once Prescott

1833
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 2: signs his deal, he'll he'll move down to eighth or ninth.

1834
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:23,639
Speaker 2: Jordan Love got his right. So I think Howie Roseman's

1835
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 2: considered the best general manager because he seems to get

1836
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,679
Speaker 2: the right free agency drafts, the best prospects, He executes

1837
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 2: the shoot his trades. But give it up to Harry Roseman.

1838
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,639
Speaker 2: He's also a master of timing. He sees where markets

1839
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 2: are trending and he works to get out ahead of

1840
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:41,879
Speaker 2: the market. Jerry Jones doesn't do that. The residual effect

1841
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 2: here is Philadelphia is winning because anybody who says you

1842
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 2: can't pay everyone, well, that's exactly what Harry Roseman has done.

1843
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 2: Almost every starting offensive player on the Eagles roster is

1844
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 2: among the top ten highest paid players at their respective positions.

1845
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 2: You got a running back, but it's Akwon Barkley, wide receivers,

1846
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, et cetera. Every one of those players is

1847
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 2: in its top ten of their position. Now, Jerry Jones

1848
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 2: is basically trying to run interference with the Cowboys fans.

1849
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 2: You can't pay everyone. Philadelphia did it, and you know,

1850
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:20,760
Speaker 2: Mike Brown, the owner of the Bengals, said the same

1851
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 2: thing at Cincinnati's training camp. Is why he hasn't extended t.

1852
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:30,000
Speaker 2: Higgins and so look, this becomes interesting because everybody's joined

1853
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 2: at the hip in the in the NFL. Another residual effect. Now,

1854
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:39,200
Speaker 2: you can't extend brock party until twenty twenty four after

1855
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:42,320
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four regular season ends, because the NFL

1856
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 2: rules prevent teams from giving players new contracts until they've

1857
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 2: completed the third campaign. Remember, may feel like brock perty

1858
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,760
Speaker 2: has been around a long time, but he's only this

1859
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 2: is his third year. But if he continues at the

1860
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 2: kind of production he's had and actually heard somebody have

1861
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,680
Speaker 2: the audacity to say, well, which as a rule responsible

1862
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 2: for their success? Are you kidding me? Have you seen

1863
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 2: him play? You see how he gets the ball out

1864
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 2: of his hands. Have you seen him he puts the

1865
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 2: ball right on the money. Have you seen he gives

1866
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:13,719
Speaker 2: his team confidence? And have you seen how the players

1867
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:18,800
Speaker 2: talk about him? Yeah, big difference. He got him into

1868
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl second year. He had a lot to

1869
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 2: do with it. You know, you want to go back

1870
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:29,960
Speaker 2: to Trey Lance, knock yourself out. Another residual effect. Patrick Mahomes,

1871
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 2: who did something years ago It really made me tip

1872
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 2: my cap. He got that ten year packed for five

1873
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:39,520
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty nine million to incredible team friendly contract.

1874
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 2: But Mahomes is a rare bird. Not only is he

1875
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:45,720
Speaker 2: the best player in the NFL, he's got his head

1876
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:48,439
Speaker 2: on straight. He wants to win. Since he signed that contract,

1877
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 2: they've won two Super Bowls and uh, they're gonna win

1878
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 2: another one and they might repeat this year. And he

1879
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 2: just had the foresight. He said, no, I'm want to

1880
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 2: be rich. I know what are we doing here to

1881
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 2: build a legacy? My god, what a legacy. But here's

1882
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:08,519
Speaker 2: here's the reality. For the talking head pundits who you know,

1883
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 2: feign false outrage. Mahomes makes forty five million a year.

1884
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 2: That ranks twelveth now that Tua and Jordan and Dak's

1885
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 2: gonna be twelve and he's won three Super Bowls. Josh Allen,

1886
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 2: depending on who you ask, I think if you talk

1887
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:31,559
Speaker 2: to scouts and opposing players and opposing defensive coordinators who

1888
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 2: actually really know what they're talking about, he's just he's

1889
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 2: talent wise. He used to perhaps the league's second best quarterback.

1890
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 2: He's making forty three million a year, right behind Mahomes.

1891
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 2: So these things have ripple effects. These things certainly have

1892
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:52,639
Speaker 2: a life of their own because everything is connected to everything.

1893
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:57,760
Speaker 2: So when a a you know, when the Packers and Dolphins,

1894
01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 2: who what one of the things they did, I should

1895
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 2: keep I should mention this. By doing what they did,

1896
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:07,320
Speaker 2: they insured themselves cost certainty at a position which I

1897
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 2: believe is the thinnest in all of sports. Very few

1898
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 2: people can play quarterback well. There are thirty two starting quarterbacks,

1899
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 2: not all of them play the position well. And so

1900
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 2: when you saw what Jordan Love did, tip of the cap,

1901
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 2: what a gentleman, what an outstanding human being by it?

1902
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:31,719
Speaker 2: At this time, stuck behind Rogers Rogers, they had Jordan

1903
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:33,600
Speaker 2: Love the keys of the car. There were lots of

1904
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 2: questions from people, including me, I'll change my mind. I've

1905
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 2: seen enough. He can play the position, and I covered

1906
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 2: the lines for ten years, so I know what I'm

1907
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 2: looking at. So the Packers and the Dolphins do something big,

1908
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 2: but it doesn't happen in a vacuum. There are residual effects,

1909
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 2: from Dak Prescott to the Philadelphia Eagles to Patrick Mahomes.

1910
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 2: You get the point. Coming up, all I can say

1911
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 2: is this, it's about damn time. It's about damn time.

1912
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 2: What am I talking about? I'll tell you coming up

Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

1921
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 2: Come to live from thee Tirac dot com studios here

1922
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:45,679
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. And all I can say about this

1923
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:50,560
Speaker 2: is this, It's about damn time. So you may or

1924
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 2: may not know this. The San Diego Padres went fifty

1925
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 2: two years without a no hitter, then they've gotten two

1926
01:39:56,560 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 2: in two years or thereabouts. The other night, Dylan Cease,

1927
01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:08,800
Speaker 2: who I think last year had a no hitter going

1928
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 2: and I think with one or two outs in the

1929
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 2: yech or something lost it. Well, Dylan sees on Thursday

1930
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 2: through the second no hitter in San Diego Padre's history,

1931
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:21,719
Speaker 2: and it almost didn't happen.

1932
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 10: You know.

1933
01:40:23,160 --> 01:40:25,519
Speaker 2: We talked about this two weeks ago with Paul Skeins.

1934
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates had a no no going on the Ancdom

1935
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 2: and it became a midnight hour topic because people have

1936
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 2: kind of had enough. And of course the Clayton Kershaw

1937
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 2: perfect game became the benchmark for all of these and

1938
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody was happy about that. And of

1939
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 2: course Clayton Kershaw, being the dignified guy he is, handled

1940
01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:53,040
Speaker 2: it very well well. Dylan Cees now hit the Washington

1941
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 2: Nationals the other night Thursday, struck on nine walk three

1942
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:01,120
Speaker 2: through one hundred and fourteen pitches. However, it almost didn't happen.

1943
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 2: He had a postgame interview with the Padres broadcast team

1944
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 2: and she submitted that the Potter's manager, Mike Shilt, had

1945
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 2: told him he was done after seven innings, and se says, not, no,

1946
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 2: hell no, not up in here. That's not gonna fly

1947
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:25,880
Speaker 2: with me. He lobbied his manager to let him go

1948
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:30,960
Speaker 2: back out for the eighth inning. All right, he said,

1949
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 2: I feel great. I've thrown ninety four pitches. There are

1950
01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:38,519
Speaker 2: games this year where I've throwing one hundred and thirteen pitches.

1951
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 2: Mike Shilt listened. Dylan Cees was successful with his lobby.

1952
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 2: The manager let him go back out to throw the

1953
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:56,240
Speaker 2: eighth inning, and interestingly enough between the eighth and ninth inning,

1954
01:41:57,240 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 2: he only needed a total of fifteen more pitches Dylan's

1955
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 2: to finish the no hitter. He ended up with one

1956
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen, one more pitch then his career high

1957
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,240
Speaker 2: of one hundred and thirteen. At the end of the day,

1958
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 2: he made history. He wanted to make history. And after

1959
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 2: the game he said, thankfully they let me talk him

1960
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 2: into it, and here we are. And the long and

1961
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 2: the short of it is, he had a nine pitch eighth,

1962
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:23,599
Speaker 2: started the ninth with one hundred three pitches, just needed

1963
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 2: eleven to get the final three outs. And after the

1964
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:29,679
Speaker 2: game this has probably lost on a lot of people.

1965
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:33,959
Speaker 2: Dylan Seeds Ceased went over to his manager, Mike Shilt,

1966
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 2: and hugged him and thanked him. We're living at a

1967
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 2: time where pitchers are increasingly pulled when they have no

1968
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:44,519
Speaker 2: hitters going due to pitch count. So Cease deserves credit

1969
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:47,599
Speaker 2: for sticking enough for himself. Shilt deserves even more credit

2015
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:43,599
Speaker 2: I look at those guys and say, wow, they hit

2016
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 2: that birdie like a ton, but are they juiced? And

2017
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,840
Speaker 2: leave me? You know, it just kind of ruins. Ruins

2018
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 2: my day, Hey, real quickly, are you as happy about

2020
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 2: It's gotta be a sweet day for Tua when you

2021
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:02,679
Speaker 2: consider all the struggles he had, concussion issues, he almost

2022
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:05,599
Speaker 2: contemplated retirement, he had the ankle deal, the hip deal.

2023
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been hit more than Rocky bell Bow,

2024
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:10,280
Speaker 2: He's had more surgeries and John Rivers near he is

2025
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:12,679
Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars. I'm really happy for the guy.

2026
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, to go through the You say, what adversity, first

2027
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:17,360
Speaker 8: round pick, all that. So it's your point with all

2028
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 8: of the injuries, I mean, to your point, he could

2029
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 8: have had his career ended a couple of years ago.

2030
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 8: Remember that scary sight from that Thursday night football game.

2031
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 2: A couple of obasons, goeh, hitting the neck they thought

2032
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 2: it was a yeah, go ahead, yeah.

2033
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 8: The multiple concussions, I mean, I mean, this kid could

2034
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:33,599
Speaker 8: have had things end very quickly for him and bounce

2035
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:36,000
Speaker 8: back and had a great year last season. And by

2036
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 8: all accounts, one of the I haven't spoken with him

2037
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 8: or interacted with him, by all accounts, one of the

2038
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:41,679
Speaker 8: greatest people you'll ever meet.

2039
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 9: So I love it.

2040
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:45,320
Speaker 8: When good people, when good things happen to good people,

2041
01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 8: and people will talk about whether or not he deserves

2042
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 8: the contract. The market is the market when it comes

2043
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:51,800
Speaker 8: to quarterbacks. If you're a quarterback and you perform well

2044
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 8: and a team wants to keep you, chances are you're

2045
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:55,719
Speaker 8: going to be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.

2046
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 8: That's just how it ends up working out. So kudos

2047
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 8: to him. I'm happy for two to get the contract in.

2048
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 8: I think the sky is the limit for his talent

2049
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:04,120
Speaker 8: and ability moving forward with the Dolphins.

2050
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:04,960
Speaker 9: So I'm happy for him.

2051
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:06,879
Speaker 2: And I love that you said he's a good person.

2052
01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 2: I love the way he carries himself. There's such a

2053
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 2: thing called huddle presence, and I believe he has. When

2054
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 2: I was in high school, we threw the ball thirty

2055
01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:17,479
Speaker 2: times again, we had a quarterback, Steve Cody, and he

2056
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 2: had real huddle presence. You just felt like things are

2057
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:22,719
Speaker 2: going to be okay. And to your point, he has performed.

2058
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 2: Look at the freaking numbers, right, numbers are all right,

2059
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:29,719
Speaker 2: good stuff, Kevin, appreciate you man. All Right, it's that time,

2060
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:32,639
Speaker 2: and boy, the timing is good because we've got soccer

2061
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:35,880
Speaker 2: on Sunday and the men's team has already pooped the bed,

2062
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,760
Speaker 2: and we got youngsters playing soccer and coaching changes. That's

2063
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 2: why we bring you at this time Chris Perfett's World

2064
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:43,439
Speaker 2: of Soccer.

2065
01:46:44,960 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 3: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. It's

2066
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 3: all here in this report from the World of Soccer, Bernie.

2067
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 22: Across Europe, across the world of soccer, domestic leagues are

2068
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 22: going final. We have final after last weekends, thrilling action

2069
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:19,400
Speaker 22: in multiple leagues, some already sewn up, some not so much.

2070
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 22: Let's well, we're gonna go to England in a second,

2071
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 22: because that's where the big story was. It came down

2072
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,720
Speaker 22: to the final week of Premier League and we were

2073
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 22: talking about it here on Fox Sports Radio all morning

2074
01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:33,960
Speaker 22: last Sunday as everything collided. There's still a weekend to

2075
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:38,240
Speaker 22: go in La Liga, but Real Madrid obviously champions, having

2076
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:41,719
Speaker 22: pulled ahead so far ahead from everyone else in the pack.

2077
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 22: The Kings of Football looked to be nigh unbeaten a

2078
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:48,839
Speaker 22: twelve point margin before even going into the final weekend

2079
01:47:49,200 --> 01:47:52,640
Speaker 22: over Barcelona, who is in second place. But really the

2080
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 22: hats are off. The toast is being raised across Europe

2081
01:47:56,640 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 22: to Bayer Leverkusen, a team in the German Bundesliga who

2082
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:05,719
Speaker 22: have completed the impossible, not only winning Bundesliga and breaking

2083
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 22: up the monotony of Bayern Munich and maybe Borussia Dortmund

2084
01:48:09,479 --> 01:48:15,799
Speaker 22: claiming that league's title, but having an unbeaten season ninety points,

2085
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:21,480
Speaker 22: thirty four games played, twenty eight wins, six draws, no losses.

2086
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:25,840
Speaker 22: It is for the history books Leverkusen, coming out of

2087
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:30,679
Speaker 22: seemingly a lot of years of just growth development, really

2088
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 22: pounding on the door, having better and better showings.

2089
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 9: They were six last year.

2090
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 22: A year prior they had made it third behind Dortmund

2091
01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 22: and Munich, and now here they are a top of

2092
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,439
Speaker 22: the world, well at least the top of Germany. That

2093
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 22: unbeaten record was being carried through the season in European

2094
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 22: play as well, until finally they hit the Europa League

2095
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:57,880
Speaker 22: final this past week against the Italian side Atalanta and

2096
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:01,479
Speaker 22: they were defeated three nils, a very bittersweet moment to

2097
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:04,639
Speaker 22: go out on, but holding up the Bundesliga trophy still

2098
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:08,520
Speaker 22: a fantastic story for them. Atlanta, of course, winning Europa

2099
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 22: and the Italian League going very convincingly to Internazionale Milan,

2100
01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:18,599
Speaker 22: who had a massive nineteen point lead over AC Milan

2101
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 22: as the season concluded here.

2102
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:22,800
Speaker 9: But again, the real action.

2103
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:24,879
Speaker 3: This season was in England.

2104
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:27,800
Speaker 22: It was in the Premier League and it was a

2105
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 22: battle between Arsenal and Manchester City down to the final day.

2106
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:34,320
Speaker 22: We were tracking all of it here on the World

2107
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,679
Speaker 22: of Soccer. It was thrilling and yet in the back

2108
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 22: of my mind, in the back of my mind, I

2109
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,639
Speaker 22: just sat there thinking and knowing as much as Arsenal

2110
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 22: kept the lead, especially after Liverpool started to fade away,

2111
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:49,799
Speaker 22: I thought, something's going to happen. Something's going to happen,

2112
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 22: and a no fault of their own, no fault of

2113
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:57,839
Speaker 22: Arsenal's own. They had been winning six of their last

2114
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:01,600
Speaker 22: Premier League matches, including their lif last one over Everton,

2115
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:05,400
Speaker 22: a two to one victory that kept them afloat. But

2116
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:08,679
Speaker 22: the point is is that Manchester City, because of some schedule,

2117
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 22: had a game in hand, and that game was played

2118
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:15,680
Speaker 22: they were able to make up ground and this led

2119
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:18,799
Speaker 22: us the last Sunday's action where we had Manchester City

2120
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:22,639
Speaker 22: and Arsenal playing at the same time. Arsenal all they

2121
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 22: needed was to do was to win and for City

2122
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 22: to either draw or lose. Because City had also played

2123
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:33,080
Speaker 22: fantastically well, built up an early enough lead early on

2124
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:35,639
Speaker 22: the year before a lot of their troubles came back.

2125
01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:39,759
Speaker 22: They too had been winning about five, six seven straight

2126
01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 22: and they faced west Ham United Arsenal was taking on

2127
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:49,679
Speaker 22: Everton Arsenal two to one over Everton Great and every

2128
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 22: time it looked close, west Ham United could not do

2129
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:57,519
Speaker 22: any favors to the gunners. Manchester City three to one

2130
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 22: and once again City is on top. Maybe not quite

2131
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,479
Speaker 22: as dominant year's past, but this now makes four straight

2132
01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:08,680
Speaker 22: titles for Manchester City in the Premier League, which is

2133
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 22: a bit of a bit of a bummer, a little bit.

2134
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:15,800
Speaker 22: The greatness of Manchester City cannot be understated, but at

2135
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 22: a certain point you kind of hope that in the

2136
01:51:18,040 --> 01:51:22,320
Speaker 22: Premier League they're not used to having teams like in

2137
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 22: say Germany and France and Spain just simply dominating and

2138
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 22: winning title after title, year after year after year. Four

2139
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:34,880
Speaker 22: straight years of Manchester City, and to be clear, they've

2140
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:36,840
Speaker 22: been winning quite a few. You can go back to

2141
01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:39,679
Speaker 22: last ten twelve years or so and it's only broken

2142
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 22: up here and there by Chelsea or the amazing Leicester

2143
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:47,720
Speaker 22: City season or the one year that Liverpool wanted during

2144
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 22: the COVID like. This is a run of dominance that

2145
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 22: I think is really being understated. But English soccer has

2146
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,840
Speaker 22: always sold itself as that more clubs have a chance

2147
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 22: at that title. It's a fantastic run and you know,

2148
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 22: Saturday and come and go and we'll see if they

2149
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:07,559
Speaker 22: win a FA Cup on top of it. Over Manchester United.

2150
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 22: But this is a club that is facing a lot

2151
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:15,880
Speaker 22: of financial fair play regulation penalties that might come down

2152
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:18,439
Speaker 22: at some point against them. This is a club that

2153
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 22: has just roundly outspent everyone, picked up some of the

2154
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 22: best players in the world over and over and over again.

2155
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:30,839
Speaker 22: And I do wonder if English Soccer's allure is starting

2156
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,720
Speaker 22: to fade a little bit because Manchester City is just

2157
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 22: roundly defeating everyone. It was very much so fate for

2158
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 22: the Arsenal. This is a club that has always had

2159
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:42,439
Speaker 22: a lot of bad luck on their side, and to

2160
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 22: go into the final, go into the final week knowing

2161
01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:48,759
Speaker 22: that the fate wasn't even in your hands, it must

2162
01:52:48,760 --> 01:52:50,480
Speaker 22: sting tremendously.

2163
01:52:50,760 --> 01:52:51,920
Speaker 9: But the seasons are done.

2164
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:54,760
Speaker 22: We stare down now the off season here, but we

2165
01:52:54,800 --> 01:52:58,800
Speaker 22: have a few finals to say. Come next week on Saturday,

2166
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 22: three pm Eastern Time, the Champions League Final, the Kings

2167
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:08,640
Speaker 22: of Spain of Real Madrid against a very scrappy and

2168
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:15,719
Speaker 22: very plucky German Borussia Dortmund team, held in Wembley Stadium. Yes, Bernie,

2169
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 22: you were just there Wembley Stadium. It is going to

2170
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:21,120
Speaker 22: be a thrill for the ages. I think a lot

2171
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:23,680
Speaker 22: of the spirits out there are around Barussia Dortmund, but

2172
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:26,720
Speaker 22: it's hard to argue against all of the talent, all

2173
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:30,520
Speaker 22: the splendor and all of the ability of Real Madrid.

2174
01:53:30,560 --> 01:53:32,559
Speaker 22: We'll give you a preview here coming up on the

2175
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:35,400
Speaker 22: world of soccer and to recap one way or another,

2176
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:39,320
Speaker 22: and you'll have it all here on the world of soccer.

2177
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:44,080
Speaker 2: Well, Chris is right, I was recently at Wembley Stadium

2178
01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:49,280
Speaker 2: in London. Had maybe tweet that picture out? I actually

2179
01:53:49,320 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 2: I think I will. I'll retweet it right now. I

2180
01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:56,479
Speaker 2: tell the truth here. Coming up, we wrap up the

2181
01:53:56,520 --> 01:54:02,160
Speaker 2: Burnie Frattle Show, but not without revisiting a name that

2182
01:54:02,240 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 2: you heard a lot during the college football season last year.

2183
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:12,519
Speaker 2: Towards the end, remember the name Connor Stallions and you're

2184
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 2: driving around thinking, wait, wait, why do I know that name.

01:54:15,439 --> 01:54:18,640
Speaker 2: Why do I know that name? Well, I'll remind you

01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:26,280

2212
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 2: well as whether or not the Olympics of lost or luster.

2213
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:58,640
Speaker 2: Great stuff. Mark Ramsey, our technical producer, same situation, great job,

Speaker 2: All the callers chiming in and we might have a

2217
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:10,000
Speaker 2: little announcement there in a week or so in following

2218
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:13,760
Speaker 2: an expanded role for Bree very well deserved, and I

2219
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 2: want to thank the callers as well as always, you've

2220
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 2: made the Midnight Hour a truly spectacular, one hour a

2221
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 2: week event. It's become an event. It's become a standalone

2222
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 2: event because the variance of opinions and thoughtful opinions and

2223
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 2: the fact that people really speak their mind without any

2224
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 2: concern of judgment, as it were, And the truth of

2225
01:56:34,200 --> 01:56:37,120
Speaker 2: the matter is the most boring conversations are when everybody agrees.

2226
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 2: So we don't always agree, but it makes for good

2227
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:45,560
Speaker 2: stuff on topical issues and Bree. Of course, we'll put

2237
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 2: still gonna watch? What's the reason? And the tipping saga? Right,

2238
01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 2: you walk into a coffee shop, you order a cup

2239
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 2: of coffee. It's a takeout order or a machine. They

2240
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 2: put something on your front of your face, and they

2241
01:57:22,200 --> 01:57:24,920
Speaker 2: want you to tip them. Some people do, some people don't.

2242
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 2: Is it emotional blackmail? Is it passive aggressive behavior? What

2243
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:31,720
Speaker 2: is it? Well? We had some really good calls. Get

2244
01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 2: the podcast or you'll put it up and you'll be

2245
01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:39,040
Speaker 2: able to hear those calls. Connor Stallions, Okay, he was

2246
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:43,160
Speaker 2: the central figure last year during the Michigan football sign

2247
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 2: stealing scandal, which has long been forgotten now. Michigan went

2248
01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:49,680
Speaker 2: on to win a national title. No one can dispute that,

2249
01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:52,680
Speaker 2: and they've had their come up. It's with the NCAA

2250
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 2: and Jim Harbaughs moved on now. But it was a

2251
01:57:55,360 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 2: big enough story that it was worthy of a documentary.

2252
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:03,760
Speaker 2: So Netflix has a documentary series that they call Untold.

2253
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 2: They're pretty good and up on deck. Connor Stallions. He

2254
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 2: set to premiere his documentary to tell his side of

2255
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 2: the story on August twenty seventh. I will watch that.

2256
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:20,280
Speaker 2: That will be appointment watching. Remember the NCAA and the

2257
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 2: Big Ten Conference ruled last year that Michigan illegally did

2258
01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:29,640
Speaker 2: in person scouting of future opponents and potential future foes. Okay,

2259
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:32,520
Speaker 2: and Stallions was the point man. He was believed to

2260
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:36,160
Speaker 2: be the appointment of the whole operations. They have apparently

2261
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:38,520
Speaker 2: evidenced that the tickets he bought to go to these

2262
01:58:38,560 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 2: games involving teams that the Wolverines were due to play

2263
01:58:43,680 --> 01:58:45,800
Speaker 2: in a couple weeks or so, and then being spotted

2264
01:58:45,840 --> 01:58:49,920
Speaker 2: in those venues. Well, Stallions resigned from his job on

2265
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:53,240
Speaker 2: the Michigan football staff. During the twenty twenty three season,

2266
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 2: Michigan went on to go undefeated they won the National Championship.

2267
01:58:57,560 --> 01:59:01,360
Speaker 2: Then Jim Harbaugh denied all nine knowledge of this illegal scouting,

2268
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 2: still received a three game suspension from the Big Ten

2269
01:59:04,640 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 2: to end of the regular season. Michael Brown a one
