29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: We're allowed to talk baseball. We are allowed to talk

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: baseball the playoffs or underway. The flag is up and

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: we're off to the races. We'll start out our in

32
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: depth team coverage, which is me and my many personalities,

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and we'll start out in Los Angeles. It was the

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: wild Card Round. It was an all day situation starting

35
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: at one o'clock eastern ten am on the West coast.

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: Baseball action all the way into the wee hours of

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: the night. Well actually we're on in the wee hours

38
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: of the night. But the Wildcard Round we had games

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: starting in Cleveland. There were four games, two in the

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: American League, two in the National League. Baseball action underway,

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: and so we'll start with the last game. I don't

42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: know if you saw it or not, it ended not

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: that long ago. Perhaps you were not watching if you

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: had something else going on. I don't know, but don't worry.

45
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to. I wasted

46
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: an entire day of my life watching these wildcard games.

47
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: So anyway, now, show hey Otani, show I'll you bet

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: on two home runs. Otani and Tao Hernandez each had

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: two home runs. And that schmuck Blake smell a Snell?

50
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Who smells Blake Snell? Fits seven innings of quality ball.

51
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: The Dodgers mollywop the Reds now. The final score was

52
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: ten to five the Dodgers was the perfect game for

53
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: the Dodgers because it was a ten to five game.

54
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: They were up, it was ten to two at one point,

55
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: and they allowed the Reds to get some runs. There

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: more on that in a second. But the wild card

57
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: game game one. It's best of three. Remember, so if

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: you win the first game, you only have to win

59
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: one of the next two and you have advanced into

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: the divisional round of the playoffs. These Fugasey playoffs, they

61
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: added some extra teams years ago, and they continue to

62
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: do that. So let us discuss the question does this

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: domination count as a statement victory for the Dodgers. All right,

64
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got wind mills, dirty water,

65
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: and ringworm, and we will combine all of these things

66
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some soggy ballpark nachos.

67
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: So I opened up my my inbox, which is a

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, generally a mistake to open up the EMLFO.

69
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: I finally had to block someone who just was harassing

70
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: me via email. Just a loser. So I blocked that.

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: Finally able to get through my email, which is good,

72
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: and I was getting the huh, you're gonna apologize, Ben,

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: You see you Dodgers a big deregive to apologize. Yeah,

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of Andrews and baker Field in Bakersfield out

75
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: there doing this, not just so hey. To answer the

76
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: question does this count as a statement win? The Dodgers

77
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: getting ten runs fifteen hits, never in any real danger

78
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Reds in Game one of the Wild

79
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Card Round, my answer is three words, no, no, and no.

80
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: That's my answer. All right, stop it just stop it?

81
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: Is it amateur hour? Is that what we're doing now?

82
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: It's not a statement. That was a formality. That was

83
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: a formality when you're the heavyweight tramp bian of the world,

84
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: the rating World Series champion, and you're walking in and

85
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: here's the Dodge is walking in to the ring. And

86
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: the Reds in this matchup are glass Joe. That's who

87
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Reds are. They're glass Joe. They're playing with

88
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: house money. The Reds are not even supposed to be here.

89
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: The only reason they got in is because the Mats

90
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: blow and lost their final game against the Marlins. So

91
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: you're supposed to land a bunch of haymakers, and the

92
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: Dodgers did. It's the equivalent of announcing to the world

93
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: I've won the Masters. Whoo, I won the Masters, all right,

94
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: and then you look at the details, you're like, well,

95
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: you won the Masters, but it was at a pitch

96
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: and putt course and there were lots of windmills and

97
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: fake volcanoes. Whooped, damn do congratulating like the Dodgers are

98
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: the gambling favorites here. They have a roster that is

99
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: a Galactic Empire type roster when you look at the

100
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: payroll and who they've got. If anything, though, this was

101
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: the perfect kind of a night if you're doing talk radio,

102
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: because the Dodgers won, I don't want the Dodgers to lose.

103
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: I like them to win. I don't think they have

104
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: any chance going forward with the way this team is

105
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: set up because they have a fatal flaw and they

106
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: don't avoid the fatal flaw. The underlying condition popped up

107
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: in this game that will could it pop up if

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: you didn't watch The game was ten to five Dodgers one.

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: They were never really in any danger but that bullpen.

110
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: If they were a professional arrest of the bullpen, their

111
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: name would be el Stinko, the Dodger bullpen. They walked

112
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: in two runs. They have no balls. The Dodger bullpen

113
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: has no balls. They're afraid to throw strikes when they

114
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: have an eight run lead. What the f is wrong

115
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: with those losers? You walked in two runs in the

116
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: eighth inning, two different relief pitchers. Game was already over

117
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: at that point, and the bullpen said, wait, don't forget

118
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: about us. Here we are. That is the soft underbelly.

119
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: That is the soft underbelly. That is the leaky false

120
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers. That's dripping that your water bills so

121
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: high because of that bullpen. That is the weak spot.

122
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: It is glaring. It is absolutely glaring, and so you

123
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: know what's coming up. The winner of this series is

124
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: gonna take on the Philadelphia Phillies. If you look at

125
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: your playoff bracket, yeah, there's actually a playoff bracket. The

126
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: winner will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the next round.

127
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: And if you're the Phillies, all right, that's working. We'll

128
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: find out whether or not this continues or not. We'll

129
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: find out whether or not these guys actually grow a

130
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: spine and grow some balls and get hair on their

131
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: chest and all that stuff in the next round. But

132
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: the Dodgers look like a really hollow team. Hollow bunny.

133
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, right, shiny and pretty on the outside, looks

134
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: all good. You bite into it and you're like, oh man,

135
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: that sucks. Whereas I thought that was solid chocolate. You know,

136
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: in the Phillies could luck on. You know, the Phillies

137
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: are legit that offense. But again, Cincinnati, it's like a scrimmage.

138
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: It's like a scrimmage. You play Cincinnati is batting practice.

139
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: The real test will be when you've got Bryce Harper

140
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: there and you've got Kyle Schwarber hitting bombs and all

141
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: that and doing his thing. That's the real test, and

142
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: we'll see if the Dodgers end up being again like

143
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: the chocolate bunny that's hollow, or or if they're actually

144
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: a brick house, as the old song goes there. But

145
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Game one of the Dodgers and Reds, it was I

146
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: call it a water works game. What does that mean?

147
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: It means the Dodgers' offense was the fire hose. So

148
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: that's the water on that side. But then the bullpen

149
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: was the drippy, leaky faucet, and so that's the other side,

150
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: as we pointed out. And it's it's nothing more than that.

151
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, they can still lose the next

152
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: two games. They shouldn't. They shouldn't lose one game to

153
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: the Reds, but you can't get a statement victory, like

154
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand, Like the mindset you guys were such.

155
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: You were trying to troll me so hard. You know

156
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: who you are, who sent me the emails? You know

157
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: you are. You're trying to bust my balls that you

158
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: didn't even factor in the opponent. You played a bunch

159
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: of little leaguers, the Cincinnati Reds here, and and you

160
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: came in there and your arsenate arsonist in the bullpen

161
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: came in there, a bunch of Cincinnati hitters, and we're

162
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: afraid to throw strikes right, And now you got later on,

163
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: assuming you don't screw this thing up, You've got the

164
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: Phillies and the lumber company from Philadelphia. Good luck in

165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: a bandbox of a ballpark, all right. Now, turning the page,

166
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: we had Yankees and Red Sox. Yankees and Red Sox.

167
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet getting her done there for the Red Sox.

168
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: He had seventeen consecutive batters retired. I didn't play professional baseball.

169
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm told that's good. When you get seventeen consecutive batters out,

170
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm told that's good. And it was a sparkly performance

171
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: as he had a lot shine Garrett Crochet in that one.

172
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: And then it was a pinch hitter Masataka Yoshida who

173
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: lined a two run ribby single off the whoe begone

174
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: Yankee reliever Luke Weaver. Well, that guy sucks u and

175
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: that was the big hit there. The Red Sox get

176
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: past the Yankee. He's three game three to one the finals,

177
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: so it's game one. All these games played at Yankee

178
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Stadium there, and so we'll see how this goes here

179
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: but the the game had some dramatics there late as

180
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: the Red Sox led three to one, he saw it.

181
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: New York loaded the bases, single single single, had the

182
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: bases loaded. Nobody out down two eraw this Chapman on

183
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: the mound, all star closer, former Yankee, longtime multi time Yankee,

184
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: Erald this Chapman, and he was able to get out

185
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: of the jam. Did not give up a run despite

186
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: single single single. The start things here. So Boston improves now,

187
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: but another win against the Angle ten and four versus

188
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: the Yankees there and there need one more win, one

189
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: more win to advance. But the better story you know where,

190
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: That's right, The better story is in the losing locker room,

191
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: and so that is where we are going to go

192
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: in the story everyone is talking about here the decision.

193
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Was it made by Aaron Boone? Was it made by Dorksville,

194
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: USA and the Bronx? Who knows? But while Game two

195
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: is later on on Wednesday night, we must go back

196
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: and focus on what happened as the Yankees and Red Sox.

197
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: The the better story in the losing locker room. So

198
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: the big moment was when Aaron Boone decided to pull

199
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: Max Freed, who was pitching a masterpiece. A masterpiece. Now again,

200
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: this is something I know I'm gonna date myself with

201
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: my generation. But I grew up like this was playoff baseball,

202
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: great pitchers. This is why you have great starting pitching.

203
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: You let them go out there and just deal. And

204
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: it's a different style of play in the playoffs.

205
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: I know.

206
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: Now we're heading into October. This was the last day

207
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: of September on Tuesday. But my god, so stupid. So

208
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone decides to pull Max Freed, who was pitching

209
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: a great game. He had I believe six and the

210
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: third shutout innings of baseball, and he had thrown one

211
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: hundred and two pitches. So I guess his arm was

212
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: going to be amputator. If he threw one hundred and

213
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: three pitches, they were gonna have to, literally right on

214
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: the mount at Yankee Stadium from all the men, women

215
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: and children, cut his arm off. Just tragedy if he

216
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: had thrown one hundred and third pitch. So they took

217
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: him out, and here is Aaron boom You hear the

218
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: question and the answer here as he was asked about

219
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: the big decision that blew up in his face. Take

220
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: a Liss Aaron Maxfreed was dealing tonight.

221
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: What was the thought process behind taking them out to

222
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: go to the end there with nobody on and one

223
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 4: out in the seventh.

224
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: They pressured him pretty good in the fourth, fifth, sixth,

225
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: you know, had a couple of bits each inning, so

226
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: I felt like he kind of cruised through the first few,

227
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: and obviously he ends up pitching great, but I felt

228
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: like he had to work pretty hard, and I was

229
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: gonna have the six b at the end. But once

230
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: we got the double we finished with the double play,

231
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: I wanted to go out and get Duran and then

232
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: felt like we were lined up all right.

233
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: So there's a quote from mister Boone. Jeez, it's like

234
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees are the East Coast Dodgers, and then the

235
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers are the West Coast Yankees. It's the same bull crap.

236
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: It is the same prepackaged bull crap. It's listening to

237
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone is like listening to Dave Roberts. It's fascinating.

238
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: It's just wild, all right. So Max Freed was asked

239
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: about all this. Max Freed was asked if he had

240
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: more left to give on the mound after one hundred

241
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: and two pitches. He said. Well, here's what he said, Tiglas.

242
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I definitely felt felt good at the end. Yeah,

243
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 5: you know, coming out, coming out feeling good.

244
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: Would you have liked to have stayed in longer?

245
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm I'm gonna stand until I gets ball

246
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 5: taken from me. I'm you know, I want to pitch

247
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: as long as I possibly can, and uh, you know,

248
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 5: when when the ball gets sticking on my hands.

249
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 6: This, Yeah, that's what it was.

250
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 7: Next, did you feel like you had more left?

251
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I definitely felt I felt good. I

252
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: felt like, you know, whatever, whatever the team needed.

253
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: All right. So that was Max Freed. I think I

254
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: was somebody was talking about here, But I think he

255
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: said at the end there, I had enough in the tank.

256
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: That was one of the quotes that I saw bouncing around.

257
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: I had enough in the tank, he said, I felt good.

258
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: We heard that in the sound bite. So question, thumbs

259
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: up or thumbs down? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Does

260
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone deserve to be char broiled? Char broiled for

261
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: this loss? Taking Max Freed out against the Yankees. So

262
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go two thumbs way up, two thumbs way

263
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: up on this one. I'm going to it. Aaron Boone

264
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: should be cooked, not charboiled. I know that's too extreme,

265
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: that's too extreme. Aaron Boone should be cooked like a

266
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: dirty water dog. You know you're in New York, those

267
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: dirty water dogs in that disgusting water at the hot

268
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: dog stands there. Yeah, that should be cooked like a

269
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: dirty water dog. Aaron Boone. Max Freed's out there like

270
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: Picasso on the mound, and you're like, ah, you know what,

271
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: we have this luxury brand. We've gone over to Madison Avenue.

272
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: We've got a two thousand dollars Gucci suit on Madison Avenue,

273
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: and we don't need that suit anymore. We've worn that suit.

274
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: So why don't we go down to the discount been

275
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,359
Speaker 1: at Walmart and we'll put Luke Weaver in a playoff

276
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: game playoffs. Yeah, that's your twenty twenty five Yankees in

277
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: a nutshell right there. They have become a parody of themselves,

278
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: much like the Dodgers. Right The Yankees, in their own way,

279
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: have become a parody of themselves.

280
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: There.

281
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: You don't manage a game anymore. It's been this way

282
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: for years. I still complain about it. You just follow

283
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: the prompts on your iPad. You just follow the prompts.

284
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: Green button pull Max f Rey done, a red button,

285
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: bring in Luke Weaver. Press that button. Boom, Luke Weaver

286
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: comes in and then the shocker, the Red Sox tee

287
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: off on Luke Weaver. Who could have seen that coming.

288
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: Just another case, just another example of the revenge of

289
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: the nerds, the Ivy League dwebs who have taken over

290
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: this invasive species in baseball that have taken over who

291
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: were playing fantasy baseball just like they were back in

292
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: the in the Ivy League, crunching numbers and all that stuff.

293
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: And now they're calling the shots at a bunch of

294
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: Major league teams. Just happens to be the Yankees there

295
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: in the Bronx, and they think that relief pitchers and

296
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: starting pitchers are just like you know what, they're like,

297
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: they're like apps. You just close the Max Freed app

298
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: and then you open the Luke Weaver app and it's

299
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: just a different app. That's all it is. It's like

300
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: some kind of Microsoft word thing they've got going on.

301
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: And then but happens to be a wild Card playoff

302
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: game and it blows up in your face and it

303
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: just blows me away because they never factor in the

304
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: human element. They never facked in. Well, some guys are

305
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: better in the moment than others. Some guys tighten up,

306
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: get tight. Took a syndrome, as we like to call it.

307
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: There ride the vomit comet. And they don't ever factor

308
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: that in. They don't factor that in because there's no

309
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: way to measure that stuff. That's that's a real manager

310
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: that has you know, has some hutzpah, that knows his players.

311
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: They don't fact they could. Dave Roberts doesn't do that

312
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. Neither does Aaron Boone.

313
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: Don't.

314
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: They don't do that. It's geeked them, geeked them, USA

315
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: is what it is. And Aaron Boone sitting there in

316
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: that dugout, smiling like a sock puppet, just smiling right there.

317
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: He is a sock puppet. The front office, what do

318
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: they do. They tug the strings and he's just you know,

319
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: he's like, he's like a bobblehead. He just shakes his head, Yes,

320
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: the Aaron Boone bobblehead in the dugout. And he's become

321
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: like a tenured professor. Aaron Boone. He's either too dumb

322
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: or too soft, or a little bit of both to

323
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: ever push back on anything. And Max Freed is just

324
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Max Fried at pitch one oh three.

325
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: He's better at pitch one o three than ninety ninety

326
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: five percent of the relief pitchers. But alas did not happen,

327
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: the Nerds medal again, and the Yankees are on the

328
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: brink of elimination. The Red Sox need one more win.

329
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: Probably should win game two, though, because I don't even

330
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: know who's starting Game three for the for the Red Sox,

331
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: as somebody I've never heard of. So the Red Sox

332
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: halfway to advancing now quickly the last word here, the

333
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: last word? So, what are some of the other takeaways?

334
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: There were two other games that were not featuring here.

335
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: What were some of the other takeaways from game number

336
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: one of the wild Card Round?

337
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: Here?

338
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: So Saya Suzuki a big time home run the Chicago

339
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: Cups get her done three to one over the Podreys

340
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: at Wrigley Field in game one of that particular series. There, Now,

341
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: I loved watching Fernando Tatisse go zero for four for

342
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: the Pod Squad. How great was that? You know what

343
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: he needs? He needs a special shipment of ringworm medication

344
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: because he's really good. When he's got the ring worm medication,

345
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: he gets like fourteen year contracts. How about Mando, Yeah,

346
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: good old many playoff Manny Machado. Oh for three for

347
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: the Padres and that pop gun Podre offense. Now they

348
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: if you go back, they have now mustered one run

349
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: in their last thirty three postseason innings. I'm told that's

350
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: not good. I'm told that's not good. And what happened

351
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: to the belly gazing Podres didn't play with that swagger,

352
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: did not have that swagger all right in Cleveland, another

353
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: dominating pitching performance Trek Scouoble tying the postseason record with

354
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: fourteen strikeouts. Fourteen strikeouts. The Tigers beat up the I

355
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: say beat up, they beat the Guardians stude one. Although

356
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: watching the Guardians play offense, holy crap do they suck?

357
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: My god? How did they come back? The fact that

358
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: they were able to outplay the Tigers the last month

359
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: of the year and win the division's fascinating. This is

360
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: one of the worst offensive teams of all time to

361
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: make the postseason that, in my opinion, it's a fact

362
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: here and the I mean the Guardians, and they're not

363
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: bad office, they're historically bad. In fact, in this game

364
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: they were been draggled. The Guardians got out of thirty

365
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: three plate appearances, four balls left the infield, four out

366
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: of thirty three, four out of thirty three. Hodgepodge of nothingness.

367
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Guardians there, and you kind of expected it.

368
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: That two twenty six batting average the worst all time,

369
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: the worst batting average of all time for a playoff team,

370
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: not counting the shortened pandemic season, and also the worst

371
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: on base percentage ever for a playoff team, the Cleveland Guardians,

372
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: and the lowest slugging percentage going all the way back

373
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty eight. So that's that's a long time.

374
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 5: Now.

375
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: What does all this mean? Game one winner, Game one winner,

376
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: small sample sized Game one winner, Wildcard Round. They have

377
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: advanced in all twelve all twelve of the Wildcard series,

378
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: ten of them have been sweeps. So based on that,

379
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, Tigers, Cubs, and Dodgers all right really

380
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: good shape.

419
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: the meat and potatoes the show. We did some baseball

420
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: last hour, and we will get back to that, but

421
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: we moved to football and the story everyone is talking

422
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: about South Beach. Baby. We go to South Beach and

423
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: if you have working eyeballs, you saw the ghastly, ghastly

424
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: injury to the cheetah if you don't have functioning eyeballs.

425
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 1: You heard about the horrific injury to the cheating. So

426
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: have you heard the latest on this? No very good.

427
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: So Dolphins wide receive we got you. We got you

428
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: on this one. So Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, they say,

429
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: he's not. I love this. He's not going to need

430
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: another surgery. He underwent a major operation hours after the

431
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins Jets game to repair his dislocated left knee or

432
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 1: multiple ligaments, including his ACL. It was a case of snap,

433
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: crackle and pop go the ligaments. Now, agent Drew Rosenhaus

434
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: he made some comments, but we have some audio. Here's

435
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: a Drew Rosenhouse commenting on Tyreek Hill. Let's go to

436
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: the audio tape. Take a listen. The surgery went well.

437
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 6: All of the torn ligaments, the injuries went back in

438
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 6: a place naturally. There's no nerve damage, no blood flow issues,

439
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 6: no broken bones. The cartilage is fine. The goal is

440
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 6: for him to be ready to play next season. It's

441
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 6: only one surgical procedure. There was some concerned that it

442
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 6: might be more than one surgery, but right now everything

443
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 6: round as.

444
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Well as we could have hoped for.

445
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 6: We'll pray for Tyreek to have a speedy recovery. We

446
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 6: know he'll do a great job with this rehab and

447
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 6: the goal is for him to be back in and

448
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 6: back to himself by the start of next season.

449
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: Okay, do we know what medical school Drew Rosenhaus went

450
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: to do? We know I don't often look that. I'll

451
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: just google that. I'll put it on the AI there.

452
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. Are you buying what

453
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: you just here? That's Drew Rosenhaus. Are you buying what

454
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus said what he is selling regarding the positive

455
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: outlook for Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins wide receiver. So I've

456
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: got Milton Bradley, Styrofoam, and Marty Grass and we will

457
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going

458
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: to make your Babushka's favorite cotton candy is what we're

459
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 1: going to make. So number one, number enough, all right,

460
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: one more time number. So to sum off what you

461
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: just sh stirred from Drew Rosenhause, he got in front

462
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: of the media and he was literally waving pomp pomps.

463
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: He had his cheerleading outfit on. Everything is terrific, sunshine,

464
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: rainbows and lollipops. Just left out one eighty bitty tiny

465
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: detail Drew Rosenhouse that the acl of Tyreek Hill was reconstructed.

466
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: He just kind of left it. I left that side

467
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: to put that over here, right, put that over here.

468
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: So also, Tyreek Hill is assuming he has a birthday.

469
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: We all have birthdays every year, unless we don't. He'll

470
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: be thirty two by next NFL season. So I don't think,

471
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: and again maybe I'm wrong. I just do the overnight show.

472
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a trip to the dentist

473
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: office to have a cavity fill. This is a career

474
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: altering medical procedure. And the obvious thing is like, what

475
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: is the agent Drew Rosenhouse supposed to say? What is

476
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: he supposed to say? Like, well, it looks bleak. There's

477
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: a there's a priest and a rabbi coming in. They're

478
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: going to give last rites to Tyreek. I mean, come on,

479
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: he can't say he's cooked. You got to be positive there,

480
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: of course not. So this is what agents do. We

481
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: played the audio. Why didn't we play that? We had

482
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: the audio, That's why he played the audio. It's spin, spin, spin,

483
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: spin spin, Drew Rosenhouse serving up what I call Candyland

484
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: optimism with Milton Bradley sugarcoating on top of that Candyland

485
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: optimism here, and he does get a percentage of Tyreek

486
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: Kill's money, money, money, money. Yeah. So it's not giving

487
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: you a prognosis, Drew Rosenhaus. He's giving you more of

488
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: a sales pitch. That's what he's doing. He's an elevator pitch.

489
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: Everything's great, Oh my god. Yeah, uh okay. So we

490
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: go back to what we said in a previous episode

491
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: of the show that Tyreek Hill is a speed racer,

492
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: blazing speed, tyreeg Kill right, blazing speed and all that stuff.

493
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: That is his superpower. That's it game breaking speed. So

494
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: you take that out of the equation and what do

495
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: you got. You got just a five to ten wide

496
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 1: receiver with a lot of baggage, a whole lot of baggage.

497
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: And let's not forget all right, let's not forget here

498
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: that every surgeon says that the surgery went well. That

499
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: is a default answer if you've ever had a surgery,

500
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: if you've ever had a family member that's had a surgery,

501
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: they always say, especially in sports, they always wow, it

502
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: went really well. The reason they say that is you

503
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: as you came out alive. There's a chance anytime you

504
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: have an operation, yet you're going to die on the

505
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: operating table, right. Unfortunately, that is the reality. And so

506
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: you came out alive. In every doctor for them, that's

507
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: a win. That is a win. You're not dead, You're alive.

508
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: The operation was a success. The real success, as we

509
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: all know, will be if Tyreek Hill does return to form,

510
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: decent form and actually looks like the player that he

511
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: had been and not a washed up version, a cheap,

512
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: ripoff version of Tyreek Hill. So there you go to

513
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: giant flashing weasel word if that is a big time

514
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: weasel word. Now pace two to Atlanta we go, and

515
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: let's circle back to the trade chatter. We are now

516
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: into October. We're not that far away from the NFL

517
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: trade deadline. Falcons backup quarterback. That's right, mister Cousins. Not

518
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: my cousin, not your cousin, everyone's cousin, Kirk Cousins, who

519
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: was a starter with the Vikings and these trashing Atlanta

520
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: announce Kirk Cousins the backup to Michael Pennix Junior, who

521
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: snunck it up against Carolina and then bounced back at

522
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: a big game here last weekend. So Kirk Cousins was

523
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: asked how he's approaching the upcoming trade deadline. He said, quote,

524
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: right now, it's just about the role I'm in, Cousins said,

525
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: and I'm focused in on helping us win football games.

526
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm being ready for next the next challenges we face.

527
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: He said, I'll stay sharp and you never know what

528
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: the league will bring close quote all right, So question,

529
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: how did that statement? How did that statement from Kirk

530
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: Cousins on the trade deadline sound to you? All right?

531
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: So it sounded to me the Cousins quote is the

532
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: equivalent of biting into a rice cake. Is there anything

533
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: more disgusting than a rice cake? Oh? Yeah, It's like

534
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: he might as well just bite into styrofoam. Just enjoy

535
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: some styrofoam. Put some flavoring on that. No calories, no flavor,

536
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: no substance, no nothing. That was That was the quote

537
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: from Kirk Cousins. And I did the math on this.

538
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Thirty nine words he said, thirty nine words. He somehow

539
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: in thirty nine words he said less than a politician

540
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: just before election day, which is fascinating. It's spam in

541
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: the inbox is what it is. Delete delete, delete, delete, delete,

542
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: delete delete delete. The lead essentially told you, Kirk Cousins

543
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: essentially told you and me that, Hey, I'm in a

544
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: holding pattern at the Hartsfield Jackson Airport there waiting waiting

545
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: for air traffic control to clear the runway and tell

546
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: me where I need to go. That's it. It's a

547
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: lot of nothing. It's a whole lot of other like

548
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: just cliches stacked on top of cliches and you just

549
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: throw it all in there and just see what you

550
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: got and a bunch of slop and we'll see how

551
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: that goes here. And that's essentially the script that you

552
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: recite as a professional athlete. You go to sportscliche dot

553
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: com and if you have no leverage, you just start

554
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: saying that nonsense. And Cousins knows. At this point, the

555
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, they have their hand on the joystick and

556
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are playing the video game and

557
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: they're deciding like do they really want to get rid

558
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: of Cousins? Do they completely trust Michael Pennix Junior? Are

559
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: they completely strapped in with what they've got? And Cousins,

560
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: I know he's strapped in he's in coach. He's not

561
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: in first class right now. He's in coach and he's

562
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: got a middle seat and there's a fat guy on

563
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: each side of him. And that's where he's at now.

564
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: If the ravens Lamar Jackson looks like he's gonna be

565
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: out for for a little while, maybe longer than that,

566
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: who knows shut him down for the year? Who says no?

567
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: The Bengals who look like they've never played football with

568
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: Jake Browning? Or I like mystery team? Oh do do

569
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

570
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do do Mystery day? Yeah, who will

571
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: it be? Who will step up that you're doing to zoom?

572
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 1: Would want a quarterback developing hot dot dot dot. So

573
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: you gonna take a shot on Cousins. You know he's

574
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: got a lot of miles, got a lot of money, money, money, money. Otherwise,

575
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: Cousins will just be chewing bubblegum in purgatory for the

576
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: rest of the year, and either the Falcons will flip

577
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: him for a bag of peanuts, but unsalted peanuts, or

578
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: keep collecting frequent flyer miles. And you're just a bus rider.

579
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: You're in the back of the bus You're getting to

580
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: travel where the Falcons play games, but you're not actually playing.

581
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: There's no real destination there. That's it now, final point

582
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: to the courtroom by request a listener named Mike who

583
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: says he lives in the Greater Houston area and listens

584
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: to the show a couple of nights a week. He said,

585
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: why have you not mentioned this story?

586
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 5: Ben?

587
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: I said, okay, you want me to do a few

588
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: minutes on it, I'll do a few minutes. So what

589
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: is the story? A man who we talked about a

590
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: lot on this show over the last couple of years,

591
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: Tony buzz Be. The fact that I know who Tony

592
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: Buzby is is a testimonial to being a sleazy ambulance

593
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: chasing extraordinaire. And it's really impressive that. I mean, he's

594
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: a billboard ambulance chasing lawyer in Houston and we know

595
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: who Tony Buzzby is. Like these guys, there's no I

596
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: don't we do the show from LA. There's no town

597
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: that has more ambulance chasing billboard lawyers than La. But

598
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: in Houston, Tony Busby is the go to guy. And

599
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: he's back in the spotlight again, back in the spotlight again.

600
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: So what is he doing. I'll give you the thumbnail

601
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: version here, I'll give you the brief thumbnail notes. So

602
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: Busby is suing the NFL. Now is this some massage

603
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: gone back? No, now that was Deshaun Watson. This is

604
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: not Deshaun Watson. So he's suing the NFL. Get this.

605
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: This is great. He claims the league conspired with Cal

606
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: McNair that's the owner of the Texans, to kick his brother,

607
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: someone named carry McNair out of the Texans ownership group.

608
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: Family drama, o rama. So let's discuss the question on

609
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: this one. What is Tony Busby looking to accomplish with

610
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: his latest lawsuit against the NFL. This regarding the ownership

611
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: of the Houston Texans. So this is straight out of

612
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: if you go back and you look this up on Wikipedia,

613
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: it's straight out of a bad soap opera. You've got

614
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: Dynasty meets Judge Judy to be played out in Lower

615
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: Manhattan Court and Busby he's not doing this. We know

616
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: Buzby's not doing this because he's pretending to do like

617
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: a mother Teresa like act. That's not what this is.

618
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: He's doing it, Why he's doing it? Tony Busby because

619
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: there is a giant pile of pesos right there on

620
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: the table, right, a lot of check a lot of

621
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: nice shekels right there, and he's seeking one hundred million

622
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: bucks from the NFL, not twenty five thousand or fifte

623
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. That's not seeking justice, right, it's not

624
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: seeking justice. It's like walking into the NFL's ATM machine

625
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: with a ski mask on. Give me the money, money money.

626
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: So the NFL pays out hush money all the time.

627
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: The NFL is known for paying out hush money like

628
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: they give beads out at Marty Grass in New Orleans.

629
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: Right every time, every time there's a scandal, the default

630
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: position of the NFL is to drag it out, drag

631
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: it out, and then eventually, if it gets dragged long enough,

632
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: you just get out the checkbook and you're on your way.

633
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: Whether it's the flate Gate, bounty gate, spygate, the gate

634
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: in your backyard, whatever gate, you name it, the league's

635
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: go to move is to throw a fat stack of

636
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: benjamins right there at the problem and just make it

637
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: go away. And Buzzby knows this. We all know. If

638
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: I know this, I'm doing the Overnight Show. And if

639
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: I know this, do you think everyone knows that? Everyone

640
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: knows it. He's essentially standing outside Roger Goodell's Park Avenue

641
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: offices there in Manhattan with a tin cup and he's saying,

642
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: spare change for the silent McNair. We need some spare

643
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: change here. And it's not about whether you're right or wrong.

644
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: It is not about that. It's about leverage. It's all

645
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: about the leverage. And this guy, Carrie McNair, I was

646
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: doing a little digging on him, doing some opposition research.

647
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: So he's the estranged brother who got escorted out of

648
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: the ownership group. He's the black sheep of the family here,

649
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: the ugly, redheaded stepchild of the family. And so raising

650
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: his hand he got in trouble because he soos he

651
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: According to the lawyer, he raised his his hand. There

652
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: was a family like a board meeting and he essentially,

653
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing this, but he said, guys, we shouldn't be

654
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: running the franchise like this. This is a joke. That's

655
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: not right. You people are losers and you need to

656
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: do better. And they said, okay, that's great advice. We

657
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: really appreciate that advice. You're no longer going to own

658
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: part of the team. We're going to get rid of you.

659
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: You're done. That's it. And they booted him. Get your

660
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: ass out of here. And so the Busby account is

661
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: that this cost sixty million dollars in lost money. For

662
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: the kid that got kicked out says like, well, sixty million,

663
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: I need another forty million for damages I got to

664
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: pay Buzzby, so I need one hundred million dollars. And

665
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: so now it's timed for a lawsuit. So we're going

666
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: to do the lawsuit. And Buzzby knows, he knows the

667
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: NFL game. They certainly don't want the family feud to

668
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: play out in the media, and so they want nice,

669
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: tidy storylines. They want shiny new stadiums. They want European football.

670
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: He wants you to talk about someone named bad Bunny,

671
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: that's what they want. A lot of international love, that's

672
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: what they want. Taylor Swift walking through a stadium to

673
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: go to a luxury box. Those are the stories they want.

674
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: They don't want Bob McNair's kids play Game of Thrones

675
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: in Houston. That's not what they're looking for. That's not

676
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: what they're looking for.

677
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,920

Speaker 1: go ahead.

684
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 7: After the Jets lost to the Dolphins on Monday, Sauce

685
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 7: Gardner says that he believes the Jets aren't getting calls

686
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 7: that better teams get from the officials. Ben, do you

687
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 7: think officiating favors the better teams?

688
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: Yes? You know what this is. You know what kind

689
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: of sauce? It says? Weak sauce coop. What do you do?

690
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: I'd be so embarrassed, Like, just tell me you're soft

691
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: without telling me yourself. Come on, Yes, the NFL does

692
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: favor the better teams. Okay, I agree with you on that,

693
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: but don't complain about it. Become a better team. It's embarrassing.

694
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: He should not be called Sauce. That's not his real name,

695
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: that's a nickname. He should call him something else.

696
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 7: Next, after the Raiders fell to one in three following

697
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 7: their loss to the Bears, Pete Carroll was asked if

698
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 7: he's considering starting Kenny Pickett over Gino Smith next week,

699
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 7: Carrol said, no, nope, we're not there, Ben, When will

700
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 7: they be there?

701
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: Well, Coop, if you want to know what job security is,

702
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: it's having Kenny Pickett as your backup Quarterick. That is job.

703
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: This guy they found somebody that blows more than Geno Smith.

704
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: There was a famous talk shot back in the nineties

705
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: who's still doing talk radio. He used to put the

706
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: worst possible people in his filling host because he didn't

707
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: want anyone good as a filling host because he was

708
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: he was worried they would take their job. Like, if

709
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: you're Geno Smith, it's wonderful. Kenny Pickett can't play. The

710
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: guy sucks, So I mean, there's no reason a bench

711
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: Gino Smith next.

712
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 7: Nick Yoki spoke with the media on Monday and declined

713
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 7: to say if he intends to sign an extension with

714
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 7: the Nuggets next offseason, but also said that his plan

715
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 7: is to quote be a Nugget forever. Yes, Ben, do

716
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 7: you think Jok will stay there in his whole career?

717
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 9: Uh?

718
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: Well, here's the way I see this, Like he seems

719
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: like one of those guys that will just retire early.

720
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he really loves basketball. He just makes

721
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: a lot of money at it. He's passion is like

722
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: Polish horses. So yeah, I could see him retiring in

723
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: a couple of years. He's made enough money and that's it.

724
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I could see him only being a nugget,

725
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: but just because he's not gonna play till he's you know,

726
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: an old man. Right there, It is mallardly third deree.

727
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: How did we do you pass? They win? Sas cover,

728
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,719

738
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 9: all love love, and I like to start out the

739
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 9: segment by giving a little piece of advice. And if

740
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 9: you are going to be cheating on your woman at

741
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 9: a festival, make sure you don't know other people there.

742
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 9: You could be recorded and that video could be sent

743
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 9: to your woman.

744
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: Oh so be careful. I feel like this is a

745
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: very specific Yes it happened.

746
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 9: It happened around me and my group of friends this weekend.

747
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 9: So I just want to give everyone a warning. If

748
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 9: you're gonna do some scandalous things, make sure you are

749
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 9: in a private area.

750
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: Is there really a private area? We live in a

751
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: police thing. Yeah, there's a ewhere Super Eights. Okay, So well,

752
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: do's a hotel down the street here, the seven seven seven.

753
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 9: They have a continental.

754
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: Brand name it. I was gonna rip it, but yeah,

755
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: all right, go ahead.

756
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, so that was my advice for the day.

757
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you're planning on cheating, make sure that

758
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: there's no camera there are Is that a bad place?

759
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna stay there. I think they charged by

760
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 1: the hour. Shane and Shane and the Moine rights and says, hey,

761
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: if your significant other uses social media, are you obligated

762
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: to follow their page or pages? It seems redundant to me.

763
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 9: I mean yes and no. I think it's fun to follow,

764
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 9: but if you already live together, then yeah, it's not

765
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 9: really a necessity. Also, don't don't be one of those couples.

766
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 9: I guess the join pages that means you don't have

767
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 9: any trust. But also you could be seen as a

768
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 9: hater if you're not following yourself. Like when celebrities break up,

769
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 9: they unfollow each other on social media. So part of

770
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 9: following your lover on there is that you can support,

771
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 9: so you can still like their things, you can comment

772
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 9: and be like, oh my gosh, you're so beautiful today.

773
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, it's just stay off social media altogether, like

774
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: you've kind of forced the if you're on there, you

775
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: might as well. Yeah. JT. The Wingman writes in from Knoxville, Tennessee.

776
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, since Halloween is coming up later this month,

782
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 9: I like those plug in couples ideas and if you

783
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 9: get well, if you get a multiple adapter, think about that. Like,

784
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 9: if you're into swingers, like swinging and get.

785
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: Multiple adapters Tekiva and line, you.

786
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 9: Could dress as a pineapple and a juicer. Yep, there

793
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,120

794
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 10: my own fan club, And my question for Lorena is

795
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 10: is it wrong of me to not be interested in

796
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 10: these women but kind of yucking up tips while denying

797
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 10: every date opportunity to ask on Well, no, I.

798
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 9: Mean you need to be picky with who you actually

799
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 9: let access your circle. And if they want to tip

800
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 9: you more than they will, they also don't have to

801
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 9: tip you at all. They could just be like, I'm

802
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 9: gonna flirt with this guy and he'p he gives me

803
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:15,759

00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 10: It has nothing to do with that.

807
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 5: I just think.

808
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,040
