1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: Playball.

2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: It's our number three hour, number three, a grab bag hour,

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: a grab bag hour. We start with baseball. Should Ron

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: Washington return to manage in twenty twenty six after triple bypass?

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Or is this the perfect time for the Angels to

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: hit the old reset button in the dugout?

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: What did you make of the Redbirds Wilson Contreras being

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: given the boot in traumatic fashion in a game against

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 2: the Pirates that went viral. Also in addition to all that,

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: we'll go to the labor negotiating room. What stands out

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: about the WNBA players punctoring down for a workstoppage? Say what,

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: We'll go there as well, right now, give it up

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: for our number three wash on, wash off?

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,760

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: hour from baseball Now. I could have done another monologue

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: about cal Raley hitting his fiftieth home run the Mariners

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: beat the Padres, but they decided we've already touched cal

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: Raley's success in a previous steps. The story that caught

38
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: my attention in baseball is from Anaheim. Now that is shocking, right,

39
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: Who the hell cares about the Angels. That's a morbid franchise.

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: They blow this good story though. Angels manager Ron Washington,

41
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: who's on sabbatical. Ron Washington revealed that he is recovering.

42
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: We now know why he was way. Ron Washington had

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: quadruple bypass.

44
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of a big deal.

45
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: Like that's a big I mean, that is a rip

46
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: you open and operation for a long time, and he

47
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: had heart surgery, triple bypass art surgery. So if he

48
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: didn't see this, maybe you missed it. Ron Washington made

49
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: an appearance the Angels Traveling Circus in Arlington, and for

50
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: the first time he publicly addressed the health issue and

51
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: then why he was away. Has been gone since late June.

52
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: Here we are in late August. Washington made the anascement

53
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: while visiting the Angel clubhouse in Texas.

54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: He lives.

55
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: His offseason home is in New Orleans, where he has

56
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: been recovering from his situation. He said he looked forward

57
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: to recovering and the operation was eight weeks ago in California.

58
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: And he's not coming back this year. Why would you?

59
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: This season ended for the Angels about the time that

60
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: Ron Washington left the dugout, so he's not returning to

61
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: manage the very mediocre Angel team, but hopes to have

62
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: the opportunity to come back and manage the team again

63
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six.

64
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: He says.

65
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: Doctors say he'll be fully recovered Ron Washington from triple

66
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: bypass surgery in December. So that's a good jump off point.

67
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: Let us discuss question, should Ron Washington return to manage

68
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: the Angels in twenty twenty six or after that triple

69
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: bypass surgery? Is this the perfect opportunity for Arti Marino

70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: and the Angels to yet again hit the reset button

71
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: and bring in some other Jabbroni to be the Angel's manager.

72
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: So in this one, I've got Marvel Universe, Yosemite, sam

73
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: and mind tricks, and we will combine all of these

74
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: things together and we're gonna make the gobbaool. We're gonna

75
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: make the gobbagool, just like Mama would make the gobagoo.

76
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: All right, So first of all, answer the question. You

77
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: make the call Arti Marinos to come back to get

78
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: rid of him. He's in his seventies. He's the oldest

79
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: management in baseball. I would bring him back. I'm gonna

80
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: be Benny Bright said on this one again, Wash, you

81
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: know what he's like. He's like the cool uncle, like

82
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: the cool uncle who's seen everything. He just lived a

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: full life and all this, And I mean you think

84
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: about Washington in baseball. He was playing in the nineteen

85
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: seventies when everyone was on anfetamines.

86
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: They call them greenies.

87
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: They were on phetamines in the nineteen seventies and the eighties.

88
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: In the seventies they were doing greenies. In the eighties

89
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: they were snorting coke. In the nineties, they were doing steroids.

90
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: In the two thousand, you had the whole money ball thing,

91
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: they were still doing steroids. But in the two thousands,

92
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: that's the cool uncle, like He's lived through all of

93
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: that stuff in baseball, all of it. And if baseball

94
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: had a Marvel universe, Washington would be like Nick Fury

95
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: right with a fun go back, just walking around telling

96
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: stories and all. And he is absolutely beloved. He's absolutely beloved.

97
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: Every player swears by Ron Washington. He's been gone from

98
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: Atlanta for a couple of years, and the brave players

99
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: are we wish we had Ron Washington.

100
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: He love him.

101
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: Every baseball scribes got ten Ron Washington stories, unless they're

102
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: new then they only have five. And he's he's one

103
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: of the last. He's not the last, but he's one

104
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: of the last old school baseball guys. Although he's forced

105
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: to do the whole analytical bull crap. But I'm talking

106
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: old school, I'm talking cigars, bourbon, you know.

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Bad back, bad knee, bad heart.

108
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: And yet he is still sharper at baseball than all

109
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: these forty year old dudes who are managing teams.

110
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: He just gets.

111
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: And and it's not Listen, if the Angels were this

112
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 2: close to being a good team, I'd be like, oh,

113
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: this is a good time to change managers. But it's

114
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: not like the Angels have any reason to dump Ron

115
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: Washington because they're about to turn things around.

116
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: They're not even rebuilding. I don't know what they're doing.

117
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they're just they're they're they're just it's it's

118
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: we talked about the floating thing of trash out in

119
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: the Pacific. That's the Angels. There's no oxygen. It's it's

120
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: like gravity. They're just kind of just I don't know

121
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: what's going on. And so when the doctors clear him,

122
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: if I'm already Marino, I bring him back, because, hey,

123
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: your team stinks. We all know that the Angels stink.

124
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: You're not a contender, you're not even a pretender. You're

125
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: just kind of there. And at least you've got a

126
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: good storyteller. So that's kind of cool. He's an ambassador.

127
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: The Angels suck, but Ron Washington's a cool guy. He's

128
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: a spokesman. It's like having Morgan Freeman narrate a ninety

129
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: loss baseball team. It makes it more compelling. I said, well,

130
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: that's kind of more interesting. And I was like, yeah,

131
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: you're not watching the Angels because you want to see

132
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: them in the standings and move up the standings and

133
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: all that. Even Ferg Dog told me that off the record.

134
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: He won't say that on the record, but off the

135
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: record he told me that you're watching, maybe you'll hear

136
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: a funny Ron Washington story, you know, some amusing antidote

137
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: or something like that. But back in the day when

138
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: he was managing the Dominican Republican and there was a

139
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: big storm there and there was only one light bulb

140
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse and it burned out, and then they

141
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: had to light a match on a candle and they

142
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: had to they by candlelight, and then they know they

143
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: didn't have anything to.

144
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Eat, and all those stories.

145
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: That is better content than anything anything that they're doing

146
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: on the field. The Angels need him, and you know,

147
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: baseball is better when they have guys like Ron Washington,

148
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: because the next couple of generations, a lot of those

149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: guys are pretty boring and they're just they're buttoned up

150
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: and all that stuff.

151
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: All right.

152
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: Now, Secondly, we go to Saint Louis and I was

153
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: flipping around the baseball games last night, and somehow I

154
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: stopped on the Cardinal Pirates game, don't ask me why,

155
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: and I saw this. I said, well, that's kind of cool,

156
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: and then it went viral. Cardinals first baseman Wilson Contreras.

157
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: He might not know who that is.

158
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: Wilson Contrera's he in the seventh inning I believe it

159
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: was the seventh inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wilson Contreras

160
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: began he was at in the battles box and was

161
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: called out. He began walking towards the team's dugout. The

162
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: Redbirds dug out. There was wrung up on a pitch

163
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 2: that if you looked at the TV box, the strikes

164
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: on box on television, it was a strike on the

165
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: on the TV broadcast. And so he walked back and

166
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: then he began to look back at the home plate umpire.

167
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: Somebody named Derek Thomas. It's a generic name. I remember

168
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: he had a good career in the NFL years ago.

169
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

170
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: The umpire then ejected Wilson Contrellers get out of here.

171
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: And then boy, it was like Jack in the box.

172
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: This thing popped open and it was on.

173
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: It was on. So question, what did you make?

174
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: What did you make of the Cardinals first baseman Wilson

175
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: Contreras being given the boot in very dramatic fashion in

176
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: a random game on a random night, a random random

177
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: Monday into it Tuesday now, So this was with Ras Mataz.

178
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: It was styling the most looney Tunes old school ejection

179
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: that I have seen in some time. And for those

180
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: of you that are blind or just chose not to

181
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: waste your eyeballs on watching this game. So Contreras gets

182
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: called out, he walks to the dugout. Then he turns

183
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: around like there's something that was said, and then he

184
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: chucks in the middle of this brew haha. He tries

185
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: to throw his bat. He ends up hitting one of

186
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: the coaches for the Cardinals with his bat. I think

187
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: he wanted to hit the umpire, hit the coach. He

188
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: then starts he goes on the dugout, he starts throwing

189
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: bubblegum onto the field. So then the game's delayed because

190
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: the ball boys have to go out in their hands

191
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: and knees and pick up the bubble gum piece by

192
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: piece out near the first base coaches box. Well that's

193
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: going on. The Cardinals manager Ali Marmal gets he gets ejected.

194
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: So this was I'll tell you what it was. It

195
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: was like a for those that are not that old,

196
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: it was like a time warp. It was like, you

197
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: don't see that much anymore, or in baseball you don't.

198
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: Baseball is so corporate now, it is so corporate, so robotic,

199
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: that this was unhinged. This was anti what baseball is today.

200
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: It was reckless. You can't throw a bat right, he

201
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: cannot do it, cannot do it. I gotta tell you though,

202
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: it was entertaining. I was entertained by this, and I

203
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: do miss that kind of nonsense, and I, oh.

204
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: We're just gonna have it in the next couple of years.

205
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: Next season, we're gonna have the robot strike zone and

206
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: all that stuff.

207
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: But for one night, on a random night, it was.

208
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: Actually cool in Saint Louis. Usually it's a million degrees

209
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 2: in late August. Guess that global Warming took the day

210
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: off there in Saint Louis. So at Bush Stadium there

211
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: it was a cartoon show. It was a cartoon show.

212
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: I like it, is this the new Cardinal way? I

213
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: know they're not really doing anything of note. The Cardinals

214
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: are kind of like blah, They're kind of in the middle.

215
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: Wilson's out there and he's like Yosementy Sam with his

216
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: six shooters, just going nuts. And Cantrara's he went full

217
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: this week in Baseball around the Majors. I could hear

218
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 2: the voice of mel Allen right old school. Could hear

219
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: mel Allen and his voice saying, temperatures rising in Saint Louis.

220
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: How about that? You know? Going on?

221
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: So, Look, the Cardinals are irrelevant. They've been irrelevant for

222
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: a couple of seasons. That is a miserable baseball team.

223
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: Not as bad as the Angels, but they're pretty bad.

224
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: But at least Contrera's made the Cardinals watchable a little bit.

225
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: You for five minutes, five good minutes. Cardinals were watchable.

226
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: So give me more of that. I'd like to see

227
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: more of that, and give me less of the boring

228
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: standard nonsense that we get. And I'm good all right,

229
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 2: final thought, we move now away from baseball and we

230
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: go to the boardroom.

231
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: I saw this.

232
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: Story, and even if I hadn't seen it, I want

233
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: to thank Jim, who lives in Central California, who sent

234
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: this to me where I actually was.

235
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: I was just in central California. I was in.

236
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: Slow not that long a couple days ago, but actually

237
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: I guess it was. We were in Vegas last week

238
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: and so it was the weekend before that. Anyway, he

239
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: sent me the story and as I saw it anyway,

240
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: and the story is if you didn't see, it's about

241
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: the w NBA.

242
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh, you shouldn't talk about the WNBA.

243
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about it's a good story, though,

244
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about good story. Go where

245
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: the story is. So they have just over sixty days.

246
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: Tic tic tic tic tic tic tick.

247
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 2: Sixty days to hammer out a new deal, labor deal,

248
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: all eyes work stoppage. Let me repeat that for those

249
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: of you in the back of the room, work stoppage,

250
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: stoppage of work. So question, what stands out about the

251
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: report that the w NBA players are bunkering down, down, down,

252
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 2: and preparing for a work stoppage. So my first thought

253
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: is who exactly on planet Earth would notice it if

254
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: the WNBA shut down. If today they announced we're going

255
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: out of business. I don't know anyone that would be

256
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: upset by that. Maybe you do, maybe you're that person,

257
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 2: but I don't. I mean, if you're actually honest. Outside

258
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: of again, one woman, Caitlin Clark, and I'll give her

259
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: her due, you know who is really the only reason,

260
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: by the way, the only reason to pretend to care,

261
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: to pretend to give a rats ask about the WNBA.

262
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: The rest of the entire league. They're in the witness

263
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: protection program is what they're in.

264
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: Right.

265
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: You couldn't pick these players out if I put them

266
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: in a lineup and I offered you ten million dollars

267
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: to name these players without having their name on the graphic,

268
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: you wouldn't know who these people are. And so in

269
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: some ways, the WNBA is still in the pandemic. When

270
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's not playing, they're still practicing social distancing in

271
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: the WNBA, and it's well documented. I don't need to

272
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: remind you that it's a product that the American people

273
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: have said for a generation they don't want, they don't

274
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: make money. The league's bled money for every single year.

275
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: It's not profitable. Listen, they're businesses that some years are profitable,

276
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: some years or not. But if you're not profitable every year,

277
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: you've done something terribly wrong. Right, You've done something terribly wrong.

278
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: And there's no clear evidence that they're ever going to

279
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: be profitable. Like, the only reason the league still exists

280
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: is because the sugar daddies at the NBA have been bankrolling.

281
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: It's a bad business model. And if they were saying, hey,

282
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: you stand up on your own, the league would have

283
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: been gone fifteen years ago if the NBA said, we

284
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: refuse to continue to waste our money and all that stuff.

285
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: And there's tax reasons they do it.

286
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: And when you make a lot of money, and the

287
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: NBA team makes a lot of money, it's good to

288
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: have a lost leader on the other side and you

289
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: can kind of finagle the taxes and all that stuff.

290
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: That being said, all right, the illusion. The thing that

291
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: I'm fatated about it. I was actually texting a.

292
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: Buddy of mine that works in radio. We were going

293
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: back and forth about this.

294
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: The the thing about the w NB is is the

295
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: illusion is strong. It's mind tricks, is what it is.

296
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: And we've seen it a lot in the last year

297
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: and a half where all of a sudden, the w

298
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: NB is all over ESPN, right, you get the It's

299
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: plastered on social media. Even the company I work for,

300
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: forcing the few update anchors, we have to talk about.

301
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: The w n b A. I remember when Eddie worked here,

302
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: so they told me I had to talk about the

303
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: w n v A. It's like, well, why nobody watched it?

304
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: He told me, it's wild.

305
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: You You get all these these think pieces, you know,

306
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: these these hype think pieces that are written about the

307
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: w n b A shoved into you know, every highlight package,

308
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: all that stuff, and it just just my entire I

309
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: was like manufactured popularity.

310
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: I continue to.

311
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: Think it's not real based on going out. We do

312
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: these meet and greets, and I meet fans of the show,

313
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: and I meet people around and I I just don't

314
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: get the feedback from the customers that this is what

315
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: they want, that this is what they're consuming. Now, maybe

316
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: it's just our show, and you know, we have a

317
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 2: bunch of people that just don't care, but everyone else cares.

318
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: Maybe that's true. I'm just going by boots on the ground.

319
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: People I talk to in the different meat and greets

320
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: that I've done. And it's a social contagion, is what

321
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: it is. What's going on in the WMBA, Like, I'm

322
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: convinced there's a lot of bots pumping this fake engagement,

323
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: which is easy to do if you've got the money

324
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: and the where to do it. With the fake engagement

325
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: by followers, by likes, all that stuff, you've got corporate

326
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: media that has investment in it that is also pumping

327
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: out fake interest. Right, we're not giving the viewer what

328
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: they want. We're giving them what we want them to want.

329
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: And it shoved, it shoved down your throat. And how

330
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: dare you if you ever say, if you ever say

331
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: in a polite room that hey, this isn't a very

332
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: good product, then what happens you're sexest? Oh my god,

333
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: your sexss That is the default get out of jail

334
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: free card. Rather than address the issue, rather than address

335
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: the Kimodo dragon in the room that it isn't a

336
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: very good product, Instead it's well, you're just your sexist.

337
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: It's impossible to have a conversation with these people. You

338
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: cannot do it because their default is that, of course,

339
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: my position is spare me on that, right, I'll talk

340
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: about Caplin Clark because there's interest there other than that.

341
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: Forget about it, forget about it.

342
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 2: I don't care how much the bots try to get

343
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: get the interest up, and ESPN shoves it down your throat.

344
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: I don't care, right.

345
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: Instead, instead of reality, we get a game of chure rates.

346
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: It's like the w NBA is just one step, one

347
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: step away from exploding in popularity. You know what it

348
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: reminds me of reminds me of soccer, Like I get

349
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: the same from soccer people, the cult of soccer. Oh, Ben,

350
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: soccer is going to take over America.

351
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: Oh you just wait.

352
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 2: I was all right and people told me that I'm

353
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: old now and they're still telling me the same bull crap. Okay,

354
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: no one's fuled by that. No one's fulled by the WNBA.

355
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: Outside of Caitlin Clark. The league is invisible. It continues

356
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: to be and the minute Caitlin Clark decides I've had enough,

357
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm out, that's it.

00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,639

418
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: part of your monologue was spot on. Everything you said

419
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: it was true, says Ferg Dog. Who else we have

420
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: page Dan Eileen from San Francisco says Ron Washington should

421
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: come back and play for the Angels. Yes, I think

422
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: what the Angels should do is bring back all the

423
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 2: legends and have them play. Have Bobby Gritch play second base,

424
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 2: Doug de sins As could play third base. They can

425
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 2: bring back Mike wait on the Mount, all the old

426
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: Angels back when they were in the World Series and

427
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: all that in the eighties. Or if you want to

428
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: go two thousand, Tim Salmon, you make Tim Salmon back right,

429
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: bring him in there. Throw him out there. Adam Kennedy,

430
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: Adam Kennedy, why not? Sean Figgins bring him back? And

431
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: what are the John Lackey can bring the fried Chicken.

432
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: You can have him on the mountain.

433
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: Stein x Stein of course, little slap hitter, bring him

434
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: out there. Uh, Troy Gloss put him out there at

435
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: third base?

436
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Why not? Scott Spiezio, who says, no, is Scott Spiezio?

437
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: Come on?

438
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: Why not?

439
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: So that's a great idea, good marketing, cross promotion. Rather

440
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: than just have an old timers game, just have nothing

441
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: but old timer's every day and then once a year

442
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: play young players.

443
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,200

00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: because they're much more popular than I am. But I

488
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: believe the reason that the morning show guys apologize for

489
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: you is because, James, they've heard your calls.

Speaker 6: the federal government, by Donald Trump.

598
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: Dude, But you're blaming Donald Trump. All right, this is

599
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: the fact that you haven't had a job in years.

600
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: And feed him there, they seed him there, they pay

601
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,520
