1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stupidity, home of the greatest media mind ever

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: to walk the planet.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Okay, shoot, here's a deal.

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 3: He's a true icon in every sense.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: Of the word.

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: He's loved and feared more than any being to Grace's planet.

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 4: They got a bead with a voice that sounds like

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 4: very white.

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: And be got to say, hey, let do it, baby.

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: You God himself would pay thirty nine ninety nine for

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: a cameo. Fact of the matter is, you are about

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: to embark on a transcendent experience that can only be

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: described as psychological nudity.

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: This is Stu Goos and this is stupidity.

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 4: Here we go.

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 5: Jump toy dog ran away and just started jumping on

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 5: children and another dog walker.

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: And she's just such a little shit.

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: Wow, what do you dog walker?

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: The dog?

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: I love a dogs.

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 6: What what do you mean by the way your dog

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 6: jumped on children?

24
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 4: What is like there were a couple of kids walking

25
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 4: to the bus stop and she was just excited to

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 4: see them. And so she's like nine months old now

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: and she's great with us, but with strangers, she is

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 4: just the absolute worst. And we have no idea, like

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: what do you do? Just keep her on a leash

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: and say, don't jump asshole like this, there's no good

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: solution here.

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 6: I mean, if you name your dog asshole, that's exactly

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 6: what you do.

34
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: We should have that was what she was born to be. Instead,

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: she's Daisy, and she is just the furthest thing from

36
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: a daisy. You can ever imagine.

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 7: The problem with that, Jeff, is You're like, once in

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 7: this case, Daisy starts doing all the jumping on or

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 7: humping on or welcoming people with a little bit of urine.

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 7: There's really only one way to get that doc to stop,

41
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 7: and it's to have friends who are willing to come

42
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 7: in and try rain for you, right, like, come in,

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 7: don't acknowledge when they jump on you, don't freak out

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 7: or do anything when they pee on you.

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: And then just kind of like, but who's gonna do that?

46
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: Like starts It starts with having friends.

47
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 7: The guy who's had baseball games till all hours probably

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 7: doesn't have a ton of those.

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 6: Pass and Taylor named his dog Oakley, after Charles Oakley.

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 6: I fully expected you to have your dog named after

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 6: a baseball player.

52
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: What's going on?

53
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: I mean, my wife despises baseball, wants nothing to do

54
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: with it. It takes me away. It takes our older

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: child away. Right, if Thanos snapped in baseball banner, she

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: would be just.

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: Fine with that, right.

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 6: Doest you like the paychecks that come along with you

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 6: doing what you do?

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 2: I mean love them.

61
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 6: If you were to name your dog after a baseball player,

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 6: have you thought about this at all, Jeff? Like, what

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 6: would the name be if you were to name it

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 6: after to be Brock or anything baseball?

65
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: Right?

66
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: It could be like a state.

67
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: Did you say Brock is a good dog name? I

68
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: feel like yes?

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: Is Brock a baseball name?

70
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

71
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: Rock? What do you mean?

72
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: I feel like Brock is like a wrestler if I

73
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 4: were to, uh, if you're going to name If I

74
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: were to name my dog after a baseball player, who

75
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: would it be?

76
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: Well?

77
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: Do you think about that? It is funny?

78
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 7: Lou Brock absolute baseball name together individually, Lou not a

79
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 7: baseball name, Brock not a baseball name.

80
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: Lou is kind of a baseball name though, between Brock

81
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: and Gerrig.

82
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's better than any other sport.

83
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: Blue Drew is another Hall of Famer, Like like we

84
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: got three three Hall of famers?

85
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 3: Yeah?

86
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: Who were named Blue?

87
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: I did you're right, Thank you, Mizzy. I appreciate it. Jeff,

88
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: Jeff Passing is with us.

89
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 6: Listen, Okay, we had to counter new heights they were

90
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 6: bringing on Taylor Swift today, so we went to our god,

91
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: Jeff pass It. So we figured the way to counter

92
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 6: program is with pass it in baseball, and so that's

93
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: what we're gonna do. Jeff, hass it nice enough to

94
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 6: spend some time. How is vacation, buddy?

95
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: Uh?

96
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: It was nice. It was relaxing and like I put

97
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: my phone away really and that, yeah, and I got

98
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: a little twitchy, like not gonna lie. It's it's very

99
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: weird when when you understand that you have trained your

100
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: brain in such a Pavlovian way where if you hear

101
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: a ding, the first thing you think to yourself is

102
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: oh shit, like that. That's that's what my life is now,

103
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: especially around the trade deadline, where I am waiting for

104
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: dings and I'm just hoping when I look down at

105
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: the phone it's a good ding and not a bad ding.

106
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 7: Well, how bad is it, Jeff? Is it like even

107
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 7: a vibration sound?

108
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: We'll do that to you as well.

109
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: Wow, that's funny. I will, I will, I will wake up.

110
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: I will wake up in the middle of the night

111
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: thinking I heard my phone and I and I like, like,

112
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 4: I have a sound machine going too so and I

113
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: don't have my phone like in bed with me, except

114
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: except if I, like, if I know something might be coming,

115
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 4: I will sleep with my phone.

116
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, thank you for being part of the sound

117
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 7: machine at sleep Club we are.

118
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: I'm definitely a member there.

119
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 7: But I'm curious, Jeff, like, is baseball season so long

120
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 7: that you take a vacation in the middle of the season.

121
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: Great question. I will counter with this. When else can I?

122
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 4: And and and I and I say this because let's

123
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 4: let's remember what baseball's off season looks like. The World

124
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: Series ends and five days later, free agency begins. Free

125
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: agency in baseball, it's not like the NBA or like

126
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 4: the NFL, where the vast majority of things are done

127
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: within the first week and you've just got you know,

128
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: drips and drabs coming in after that. No, it's like

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: baseball waits at least a month until the Winter meetings

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 4: when a lot of the big signings happen, and then

131
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 4: it goes through. I mean like when I was at

132
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Star this was twenty years ago and

133
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: twenty plus years ago. Now my two years there, I

134
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: always volunteered to work on Christmas because I feel like

135
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: that's a Jews duty, like leave Christmas for those who

136
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 4: appreciate and celebrate and go work and do your thing.

137
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: You're sure right about this? Yeah?

138
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah? And so now I married Catholics, so I

139
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 4: kind of screwed that one up. But I'm at I

140
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: go to the same place for Christmas every year, go

141
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: to my brother in law's house, and more often then not,

142
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: there will be a Christmas transaction or a Christmas Eve transaction.

143
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: I remember my first day at ESPN. I was not

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: even employed yet. It was December thirty. First, it was

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: like ten o'clock at night, and you say, Kokuchi signed

146
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: a free agent contract. I believe it was with the

147
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 4: Seattle Mariners. That might have been with the Toronto Blue.

148
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: I lost track at this point. All I know is

149
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: I wrote a story for Yahoo on New Year's Eve

150
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 4: and then wrote another one for ESPN to be published

151
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: at twelve oh one, when I was officially employed by ESPN.

152
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: I would like to say, I would like to say

153
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 4: it was like, in terms of ESPN employees, nobody has

154
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: ever had a story posted faster than me one minute

155
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: into my tenure.

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 7: There is that the most memorable part of the story

157
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 7: or is it memorable because of that player's name?

158
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: What was that again?

159
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: That would be you say, Kokuchi?

160
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: Who's Scott?

161
00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: Who?

162
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: Scott Bora? At the Yes at the winter meetings that year,

163
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: Scott Boris was you know, he does his thing, and

164
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: he was calling him Cooch And I went up to

165
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 4: him afterwards and I was like, Scott, you might want

166
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: to rethink the nickname there. Coach is not gonna play

167
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: quite as well.

168
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: On that nickname. What was the response?

169
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: Oh, oh, I think like he got it there.

170
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, so yeah.

171
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 7: If you don't take this like post uh trade deadline vacation,

172
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 7: then you've only got like a little window and it

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 7: really just leaves you like winter availabilities pass.

174
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 6: It is saying he knows his industry, he knows his job,

175
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 6: he knows his business.

176
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: He's saying he's taking vacation.

177
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 6: At the only time he can take vacation, or I

178
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 6: guess at the best time for him to take vacation.

179
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: There is there is no good time. This sh shit

180
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: always happens. That's the it's the terror of this shop,

181
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: and it's the beauty of this job. I know that

182
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: I am always going to be engaged and busy and

183
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: doing something that I haven't seen before, and like I've

184
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: been doing this, I've been a baseball writer almost twenty

185
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: five years now, and I am not in any way

186
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: burned out or tired of it or feel like I'm

187
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 4: doing the same thing over and over again. It's why

188
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 4: I love this job because it is always something different,

189
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: always different people, personalities, stories, storylines. It's fun. Like's you

190
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: see me smiling about it. It's sincere.

191
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 6: I'm going to play a story here for Jeff A

192
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 6: courtesy of Tim Kirchin. He was on with us a

193
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago. We were talking about Ryan Samberg,

194
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 6: the great Ryan Samberg. I want you to listen to

195
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 6: the story from Tim Kirchen because I maintain there is

196
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 6: not a better storyteller, and baseball is all about storytelling,

197
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 6: but there is not a better one that we have

198
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 6: on this planet than Tim Kirchin.

199
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 8: This was the first sentence that he said after saying,

200
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 8: I want to memorialize the.

201
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: Career Ryan Samberg.

202
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 9: Nobody was better at avoiding a runner who's trying to

203
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 9: kill you at second base. That Ryan Sandberg was, in fact,

204
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 9: Lloyd mcclennon told me was former major league player and

205
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 9: manager that he got hit by a pitch on purpose

206
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 9: by the pirate, by the Cubs, and he's with the

207
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 9: Pirates and all he wants to do is kill the

208
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 9: shortstop or second basement on the double play. So he's

209
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 9: hoping while on first base, I hope there's a double

210
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 9: play ball. So there's a ground ball of the shortstop.

211
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 9: He's running a second and he's got Sandberg, who he loves,

212
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 9: by the way, in his sights, and he.

213
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: Says, I got him. I got him.

214
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 9: I'm going to kill him just to make up for

215
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 9: them hitting me on purpose. And then he said and

216
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 9: then he disappeared, and then there was a double play.

217
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 9: That's how great Ryan Sandberg was around the bag.

218
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: Who's knocking on? What door?

219
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 4: Can hold? Second?

220
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: That was you, my god, I.

221
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 4: Am literally filming right. Do you want to say hi

222
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 4: to the guys?

223
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Please?

224
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 4: You want to say hi?

225
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: Please?

226
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 4: Here you go, Luke, say hi?

227
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 7: Hell out of here, long knocker, that Luke.

228
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: I get Luke back in here between your dog and.

229
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: Lou Very aggressive knocker, that Luke.

230
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: It was it was passing. You're having a morning right now?

231
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 6: I mean your dog, fucking son Jesus Christ, I control

232
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 6: that house. Man.

233
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: He goes back to school tomorrow and write, God, I

234
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: just can't wait.

235
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, school can't start sitting up.

236
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 8: If we could be in the trust tree here for

237
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 8: a second. When I played that clip, I thought something

238
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 8: happened to the audio where I have something in and

239
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 8: I was like this, Oh no, I can't believe right now.

240
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 6: I was thinking with someone knocking on my door at

241
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 6: my house that day, this.

242
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 4: Thing is this is this not like modern life personified

243
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: though it is. It is. We are like we're doing

244
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: this at our houses and we understand all the risks involved.

245
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 4: Like I was looking out the window and my wife,

246
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: I think, in response to the daisy incident this morning,

247
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: just wanted to be alone anything And what did she

248
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: think is less chaotic than our dog mowing the fucking

249
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 4: lawn Like she's out there with her more. And I'm like,

250
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: all right, well, I hope the hope the AirPods don't

251
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: pick up the lawnmower. And then I got the knocks

252
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: on the door. The dog will start barking at some

253
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: point in this I absolutely guarantee. This, by the way,

254
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: is the same office. We've been integrating her upstairs, right

255
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 4: just you know, she's got like a kennel down in

256
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 4: the basement and she has the run of the place

257
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 4: down there, but we're trying to get her up and

258
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: like acting like a normal dog. What didn't she do yesterday?

259
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: Went immediately for the office, popped a squat log on

260
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: the floor right there, just like she does. She does

261
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 4: not give a damn and I respect her for it.

262
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 4: I kind of appreciate her for it as I go, puppies,

263
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: why why do like, why do we do this to ourselves?

264
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: You shouldn't name the dogs to gods?

265
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 6: I mean, but anyway, Kirchin, the storytelling, Ryan Sambury, the

266
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 6: details so good.

267
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: I know you love Kirchin. I just wanted to play

268
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: that for you.

269
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: Kirchen is the best. And what I love about Tim,

270
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: like beyond just the human being he is. You know,

271
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: I'm at ESPN, I'm in Bristol for the first time,

272
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 4: and I'm going on Baseball Tonight and this is like

273
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: a show that I grew up watching. I adored Baseball Tonight.

274
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 4: It was the absolute best, and so to be part

275
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 4: of it I'm the nervous and Tim in such a

276
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: like kind and fatherly way, like Tim will put his

277
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: hand on your shoulder. It's like one of his sort

278
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: of go to moves and he puts his hand on

279
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 4: my shoulder and he was like, just follow RAVI and

280
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 4: follow my lead and we'll take you where you need

281
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: to go. And it was it was the most like

282
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: calming and I'm so appreciative of that. And it's also

283
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: because I know when I'm on a set with Tim,

284
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: he is always going to have a story about something

285
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: and it starts the same way I was talking too,

286
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: and you can drop in. I mean, it's like an

287
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: immaculate grid of Tim Kirkchin knowledge.

288
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: Crazy.

289
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: You can say, Tim, who were you talking to? That

290
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: was a Pittsburgh pirate in nineteen ninety seven, Lloyd lecclimate, Right,

291
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: You know, it's just got this this unending reservoir of

292
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 4: stories and he's so good at telling them. So yes,

293
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: all the love eternally for Tim Kirkchen.

294
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 8: Jeff, I'm a massive Yankee fan, and I'm wondering is

295
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 8: this Yankee team as it's currently constructed, a championship contending team?

296
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 8: Because if I had to bet money on it, I

297
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 8: would lean towards no.

298
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: In any other year, I might say no. But there

299
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: just aren't really very good baseball teams this year. There

300
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 4: are a lot of perfectly fine but flawed teams. But

301
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: let's look at the best teams record wise right now.

302
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 4: The Brewers are fantastic and have been playing fantastic baseball.

303
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: They are also historically a team that does not advance

304
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: far in the playoffs. We've seen that with the Toronto

305
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: Blue Jays, who are at the top of the American

306
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: League right now. All the traditional powers, you know, the

307
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: Mets just lost seven games in a row. The Dodgers

308
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: are at risk of falling out of first place in

309
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: the National League West. The Cubs are up there, but

310
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: they've shown flaws lately. The Red Sox have been playing

311
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: great baseball, but we know they've had their issues as well.

312
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 4: The American League Central like Tigers, have kind of fallen

313
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 4: on their face recently. All of this is just a

314
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: point of I don't know who the hell is going

315
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: to win this year, right just depends on who gets

316
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 4: hot in October. And I always feel like that's a

317
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 4: cop out thing to say, right, but it's true too.

318
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: I can see a scenario in which Max Freed and

319
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: Carlos Rodon absolutely mow through good lineups, because we've seen

320
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: Max Free do it in the postseason and Carlos Radan

321
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: has the stuff to do it. If the Yankees bullpen

322
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 4: gets healthy, Fernando Cruz coming back, Jonathan Lewisa, go, Ryan Yarborough.

323
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: I know those aren't big names, but those are the

324
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: depth type of guys who allow you not to have

325
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: to lean on your bed nars and your weavers quite

326
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: as much. And then Judge hitting a home run last night,

327
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: Big Stanton if they can get him back to the

328
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: DHL and Judge in the lineup, and I just look

329
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: at the Yankees lineup one through nine. It's not great.

330
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 4: It's just there's no like this guy sucks and doesn't

331
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: belong every day. So the Yankees issues go beyond the

332
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: things I've mentioned. They're a bad based running team. They're

333
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 4: not a great fielding team. Like when you're trying to

334
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: win a championship, fundamentals matter. But I'm not going to

335
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: discount them, even though I'm not sure at this point

336
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: they're going to even make the playoffs. That's that's how

337
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 4: when you are looking like one through fourteen in Major

338
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: League Baseball. The gaps among those groups, really, You're not terribly.

339
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: Significant, Jeff.

340
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 6: Are people inside of Major League Baseball starting to wonder

341
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 6: a little bit about show hey Otani off the field

342
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 6: and the people he surrounds himself with.

343
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: The people he surrounds himself with. Sure, I mean this

344
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: is multiple incidents now, right with the payment Tuhara? And

345
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: can I use this, by the way, as an opportunity

346
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 4: to ask people who are listening and viewing this to

347
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: go and read the complaint by the federal government against

348
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 4: the Paymentsuhara?

349
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if I ask.

350
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: This only because it's thirty something pages. I know that's

351
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 4: a lot. If you want to have AI go through

352
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 4: it and summarize it, by all means, go ahead and

353
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: do that. But I'm just I'm so tired of hearing

354
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 4: how Shoheo Tani was a gambler. If he was a gambler,

355
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 4: this is the most well constructed conspiracy of all time,

356
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: and we need to be giving them a credit for

357
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 4: pulling this off and convincing the federal government to participate,

358
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 4: because a guy can hit the ball super far. That

359
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 4: being said, getting into business with your agent generally not

360
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 4: a good idea, and for this to go sideways in

361
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: the way it has, this land deal in Hawaii allegedly,

362
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: and for it to happen in the wake of everything

363
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 4: that happened with Epay last year. There are consequences to

364
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: being as single minded as Shoho Tani is. When you

365
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 4: are as big as a star as he is, you

366
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 4: need to mind your business as much as you mind

367
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: your baseball or otherwise. They're external factors that are going

368
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: to drag you down. And I don't think O'tani is

369
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 4: anything in this case other than someone who's guilty of

370
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: not minding his affairs as much as he as much

371
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: as he should. And frankly, like, I'm not trying to

372
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 4: dismiss it, I just want to say, like who among

373
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: us like we all have. I can't deal with a dog.

374
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: Right or your son, my wife.

375
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 4: I'm just a mess And I'm just painting a smile

376
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 4: on right now for.

377
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 7: You guys, Jeff, everybody knows the Michael Jordan gambling controversy

378
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 7: is the goat so easy there, oh.

379
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 4: Of course in that, Like, I don't know, do you

380
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 4: believe that one?

381
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 7: I mean, it sets up pretty nicely, like why dude

382
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 7: want to take a year and a half off of basketball.

383
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 4: Why is it? Why does he want to play minor

384
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 4: league baseball? Right? He had the whole wild part of

385
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: the whole thing, like, think about this. I have no

386
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 4: idea whether it is true or not, but let's suppose

387
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: that it is. As they're sitting there trying to workshop,

388
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: how are we going to explain this. Whose idea was

389
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 4: it to say, Hey, you know what would be great?

390
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: You should go play minor league baseball?

391
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 6: Prime of his career, prime of his career, coming off

392
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 6: three straight titles.

393
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 7: All these interviews you've done, every once mentioned baseball, but

394
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 7: now it's been your dream, Jeff, I want to ask

395
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 7: you an actual baseball question.

396
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Brewers.

397
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 7: They're now on their second double figure winning streak, and

398
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 7: the one thing that I've always seemed to attach to

399
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 7: the teams that end up winning at all is they've

400
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 7: had the longest stretch of consistent baseball. Do the Brewers

401
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 7: fit into that category to where if they do win

402
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 7: it all, we'd all be like, oh, yes, we should

403
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 7: have seen this coming best record of the league at all.

404
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 7: And if they do, does that shange anything on how

405
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 7: we look at the way baseball is headed because they're

406
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 7: winning a slightly different way.

407
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 4: I think those are both great questions. On the first one,

408
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 4: thank you, I'm going to.

409
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 3: Take the rest of the day out.

410
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: They have.

411
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 4: The Milwaukee Brewers have been consistent ever since they started

412
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 4: twenty five and twenty eight. And it's funny because you

413
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: look at like a fifty you look at a fifty

414
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 4: game stretch, and fifty plus games is a lot of games.

415
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 4: It gets you to Memorial Day. And generally speaking, the

416
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 4: way I you know, look at baseball is what a

417
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 4: team is by a Memorial Day gives a pretty decent

418
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: sense of what they're going to be for the rest

419
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: of the season. Not so much with the Brewers, and

420
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: what they are is a collection of really good baseball players,

421
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 4: like a lot of guys whose floors are pretty high.

422
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: You know, everybody in that lineup has an above average

423
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: OLPs at this point. They have a ton of pitching depth,

424
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 4: both in the rotation and in the bullpen. And more

425
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 4: than that, they're just a really good organization in terms

426
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: of like process and how they run things. They draft well,

427
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 4: they sign internationally well, they develop well. They're what you

428
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: want to be if you are a small market team

429
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 4: in Milwaukee is unquestionably a small market team, and the

430
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: fact that they're winning the way that they are and

431
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 4: that they've won as consistently over the last decade as

432
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: they have, I think speaks to the health of that

433
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 4: organization operationally. Now here's the thing, and this is the

434
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: second part of the question, And I think it's really

435
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 4: interesting when owners are pushing for a salary cap because

436
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 4: baseball's economics, in their mind, is out of whack. How

437
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 4: do you explain the Milwaukee Brewers, with one of the

438
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 4: lowest payrolls in baseball and in the smallest market media

439
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: market in baseball, being as good as they are. Does

440
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: that suggest to you that maybe baseball does not need

441
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 4: a salary cap and it just needs more competent people

442
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 4: who are running organizations, or that there is a way

443
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 4: around the finances to the point where let's acknowledge this.

444
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 4: A salary cap is not a panacea for competitive imbalance.

445
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: It just isn't. And yes, that is how you pronounce

446
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 4: it. It is it is. It is not a magic bullet.

447
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: It is not going to solve the issues. I don't

448
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 4: disagree there is an enormous amount of disparity in payroll

449
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 4: among teams in Major League Baseball right now, I'm just

450
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 4: wondering why instead of focusing on the top, not focusing

451
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: on the bottom, and looking at the owners whose franchise

452
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 4: values have gone up significantly in recent years, and asking them,

453
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 4: what is it that would allow you or compel you

454
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 4: to pay more and to lift your floor. As much

455
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 4: as MLB's ceiling, MLB wants its ceiling to be dropped.

456
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: It's a great point.

457
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 6: Listen, I know you have to run here, so I'll

458
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 6: finish with this pie crow Armstrong who got off to

459
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 6: a great start, a great start. He is batting eighty

460
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 6: one in the month of August, and he got pinch

461
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 6: hit for I have a rule, Jeff, I wonder if

462
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 6: you agree if you get pinch hit for it any

463
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 6: time during the season, it disqualifies you from winning the MVP.

464
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: Do you agree?

465
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: No? I don't agree that that is such a stu rudeness.

466
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: I mean, who won MVP? Was ever pinch hit forward?

467
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: Name one? Name one?

468
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 4: What I want to say?

469
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: Why am I yelling at you?

470
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 4: I'm not quite sure. Would you do you have more

471
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 4: to get out? Because by all means, just let it

472
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 4: eat and then I'll answer.

473
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 6: I mean, can you imagine the Yankees pitch hitting from

474
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 6: Mickey Mantle, imagine that crazy.

475
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: Listen one one and by one, I mean one named

476
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 4: Stu Gotts might argue that he is the MVP of

477
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: the Dan Levatard Show.

478
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be correct, Yes, no argument there, Yes, Stude.

479
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: Do you have bad weeks occasionally? Yeah? Yeah?

480
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: And in those bad weeks, are there moments where you

481
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 4: are on the air staying some dumb shit and feel like,

482
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: you know what, maybe I should take a break.

483
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: Occasionally? Yeah?

484
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, yes, yeah, but no one

485
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 6: but I'm deciding that this would be someone deciding it

486
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 6: on my behalf, you know what I'm saying, Well.

487
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 4: That's it. No, But that's the point if you can

488
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: acknowledge that sometimes you need a break, right, But but

489
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 4: you're you're too damn arrogant. Where if someone said, like

490
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 4: if Mike said, hey, Stu, breather, you'd get.

491
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: In the finger, right probably? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would.

492
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 4: I would argue that Pete Armstrong taking this the way

493
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 4: he is is a very mature and in fact quite

494
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: valuable thing to have inside of a clubhouse where he

495
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: doesn't become a diva or complain that, oh do hold

496
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: that you're sitting me down. No, it's an acknowledgment that

497
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: sometimes sometimes STU life is hard.

498
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 3: Here's my only issue.

499
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 4: Even the MVP can sit down right.

500
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: A bad week you come on.

501
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 7: A bad week for STU is a lot better than

502
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 7: eighty one.

503
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 6: I would argue that they want me to have a

504
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 6: bad week. They're good weeks. They're terrified of.

505
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: They call it the Wiener line. That's way higher than

506
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: eighty one.

507
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 6: My eighty one is better than anyone else? Is eight

508
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 6: eighty one?

509
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: All right?

510
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 4: I mean that's exactly right. Yeah, you are a slugger.

511
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 4: I'll give you that.

512
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 8: Volume slugger, Jeff, just just to help you out here

513
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 8: and show you who you're arguing with. I have a

514
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 8: question for Stutts Stude. You know where picrow Arms Trunk

515
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 8: played before the Cups?

516
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: I have no fucking idea, you kidding.

517
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 8: Don't tell Jeff who's your favorite team?

518
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 3: Mets oh Man, same answer.

519
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: He walked me right into that. One pays closed.

520
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 4: For right now, right now. No, I do get them

521
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 4: out of me right now.

522
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 6: Go in to the bed past, get out of here.
