1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,160
Speaker 1: Ding Dong.

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: It's our number two, our two of the Ben Mala Show,

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: talking Bay's Ball, play ball, Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: doing the old media two step about the Mets clubhouse chemistry.

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: Do you buy it? They're claiming on I think it's

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 3: okay here, you know we're fine and all.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: That, despite multiple reports in the tabloids in New York problems. Also,

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: how do you dissect Philly star Bryce Harper and Padres

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: star Manny Machado endorsing the Dodgers spending spree. This upset

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: some baseball scribes that want the Dodgers stopped at all

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: costs and disgruntled outfielder Nick Casteanos joining the Padres. Is

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: that a big deal, a little deal or no deal?

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: Talk about that as well. Right now here it is

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: our number two. Well, it's not exactly the magic of

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: the Mets, but they're and again welcome in the beginning

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: in the air of of rewaere with incoherent talk. As

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: we know, you can taste their tradition in every take,

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: coast to coast, border to.

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: Border and beyond.

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: On the vast and rhythmically powerful microphones of fsre ammating live.

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: From the world.

23
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: It's a small world, after all, it's a small, small

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: world from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios as

25
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 2: approved by Milkman Mike in Colorado and Texas Shack who

26
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: know that this show made possible apart by our friends

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: at ti Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has been

28
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: helping customers like Kathy in Madison find the right tires

29
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com the way

32
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: tire buying should be, so our lead this hour is

33
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: from Port Saint Lucie. That's a spring training town in

34
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: the Grapefruit League. And I thought this was interesting. As

35
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: spring training is underway, we're off to the races, the

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: never ending baseball saga. But this is actually somewhat interesting

37
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: because the Mets fell apart last season and they had

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: a lot of talent. They had this big payroll. They

39
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: did not get it done. They've unloaded several prominent players

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: from the Mets. It's believed that that is at the

41
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: behest of Francisco Lindor and Juan Soda. They're cleansing out

42
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: the locker room of players they didn't like. So Pete

43
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: Alonzo's not back, McNeil's gone. A couple other players that

44
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: were of prominence of the Mets have been decommissioned by

45
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 2: the Metropolitans. I bring this up because there's also some

46
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: chatter of issues between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, the

47
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: two big stars, although Juan Soto's in a different stratosphere

48
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: compared to Lindor, but they're both making a lot of money,

49
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: and Soo and Lindor. If you didn't see this, maybe not.

50
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: They addressed the tabloid fodder in Gotham about the Mets

51
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: clubhouse issues, and the first up Lindor he said, quote,

52
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: are we all best friends? Talking about the Met's locker

53
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: room the clubhouse? And also one Sod, Are we all

54
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: best friends? That's not how it works in the clubhouse,

55
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: Lindor said, But we are friends. We're good. We are friends,

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: we're good teammates. We care for each other, we love

57
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: each other, and we want the best for each other,

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: as good as all the rest. Of course, Sodo was

59
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: not as fired up as Lindor was when he was

60
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: asked a similar line of questioning, he said, saying the following,

61
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: that's in the past. Regarding the many issues that popped

62
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: up during the twenty twenty five season, he said, that's

63
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: in the past, he claimed, we forget about it. We

64
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: focus on twenty twenty six, all right, So that is

65
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: a good jumping off point.

66
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question. Hey, you got one Soto

67
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: to the right.

68
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: You got Francisco Lindor to the left, doing the media

69
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: two step about the Mets clubhouse chemistry issues.

70
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: Do you buy it?

71
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: Are you buying what Lindor and Sodo are selling? So

72
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: on this one, I've got John Candy Neighborhood HOA president

73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 2: and Trader Joe's and we will combine all of these

74
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: things together and we'll.

75
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: Go ABC and one, two three, and we'll do it

76
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: just like that.

77
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: So Number one, do I buy that everything's great between

78
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: Sodo and Lindor based on the comments parsing the words

79
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: of these two guys at spring training. Absolutely not, not

80
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: for a second, Not for a second.

81
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: Do I buy it now?

82
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 2: Lindor when he's going like, ah, are we best friends?

83
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: That's not how it works, right, that's a Lindor line translation.

84
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: We're not getting those matching bracelets or tattoos. We're not

85
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: doing that corporate speak.

86
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: If you will.

87
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: For I don't like the guy, but I'll clock in.

88
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: We are work friends the old line. We are work

89
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: friends there, and that's the see you on the team flight.

90
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: I will see on the team flight, and that's it.

91
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to invite you to my kids'

92
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: birthday party, and I don't want to be invited to

93
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: your kids' birthday party. So this is the New York Mets.

94
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: It is not summer camp, it's not spring camp. It's

95
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: just Mets baseball there. It's Steve Martin and John Canty, planes, trains,

96
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: and automobiles. That's it, right, Not any kind of Thanksgiving dinner.

97
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: We're not going trick or treating as a family's that's

98
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: not happening. And then Juan Soto tossing on top of

99
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: that that it's in the past. We focus on twenty

100
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: twenty really interesting.

101
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: So it's in the past.

102
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: So if nothing happened just between me and you, if

103
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: nothing happened in twenty twenty five, you don't need to

104
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: bury anything. But yet it sounds like you're trying to

105
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: bury something. So if nothing happened, why would you have

106
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: to bury something. You don't say let's move on unless

107
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: there is something to move on from. Am I wrong

108
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: on that? I think it's just common sense. If there's

109
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: nothing to move on from, why would you say we

110
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: have to move on? There's nothing to move on from?

111
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: You you were fine? Okay. So that is a admission.

112
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: That is a confessional by Juan Soto here and without

113
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: actually using the admission word, he didn't say, hey, I'm

114
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: admitting to this and yeah, we care for each other. Sure, yeah, yeah,

115
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: sure you do.

116
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

117
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: That's a corporate HR language, is what that is. That's

118
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: the the email before the heads get chopped off. You know,

119
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: the old layoff thing was send an email and all

120
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: that stuff. And now, ultimately, if the Mets end up

121
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: winning the National the east end, they have one of

122
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: the better records in baseball, and they challenged the Dodgers

123
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: who were light years ahead of the match. But if

124
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: they are able to challenge them, then the winning cologne,

125
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: the winning cologne there will cover up everything. And that's

126
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: great and all wonderful and all that, but they don't

127
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: try to sell me that it's some kind of buddy

128
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: cop movie.

129
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: From back in the day. I'm not buying that.

130
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 2: Co workers sharing a locker room, not brothers in arms.

131
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: That is not going on with the Mets now. Page two.

132
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: A lot of baseball scribes are upset with Many Machado.

133
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: They're annoyed by Manny Machado. Why would they be annoyed

134
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: by Many Pachado because he didn't say.

135
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 5: The right thing at the right time.

136
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: And it's upsetting the padres well paid hustle when he

137
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: wants Manny Machado. He was asked about the Dodgers spending

138
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: a lot of money a player who has massive amounts

139
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: of money based on his huge contracts he's gotten from

140
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: the various teams over the years, but Machado did not

141
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: say what the writers wanted him to say. He said

142
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 2: he had no problem with the Dodgers, the NL West

143
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: rival Dodgers continuing to burn money on high falutin free

144
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: agents every year. They've seemingly added one or two free

145
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: agents the last four or five years, and now they

146
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: have this mega, mega superteam. Dodgers have won the last

147
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: two World Series, beat the Yankees and the Blue Jays,

148
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: and the Fall Classic Blue Jays had Game seven. They

149
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: were right there to win it, but they didn't. They

150
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: blew it and all that stuff. So but the Dodgers

151
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: continue to spend money. Machado has no issue with it

152
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: at all. And he said, quote, I ef in love it,

153
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: he said Machado from the Padres spring training camp in Arizona.

154
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: And he said every team should be doing it that

155
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: blank blank and great for the game, said the forementioned

156
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: Manny Machado. Now, Machado would prefer everyone Spain spend spent,

157
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 2: which is not.

158
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: A shocking take.

159
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: He wants everyone to be like the Dodgers rather than

160
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: see the money reeled back in, which is something which

161
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: some of you socialist loving people love so much.

162
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: You want to.

163
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 5: You know, the Dodgers are spending too much money. We

164
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: must put the kabash or the Dodgers. We have to

165
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 5: have balanced financials. We have to have it and all

166
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 5: that crap. Machado said. I think every team has the

167
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 5: ability to do it. I hope all thirty two teams

168
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: learn from that, meaning learn from the Dodgers. Now, that

169
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: of course led to pushback, as we said, against Manny Machado,

170
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 5: the Padres star who briefly played for the Dodgers and

171
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 5: had the longest base hit ever in World Series history

172
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 5: the twenty eighteen World Series against the Red Sox when

173
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 5: Machado hit a ball off the wall and was styling

174
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: and profiling and didn't realize the ball didn't go out

175
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 5: of the ballpark. And very awkward, very awkward moment there

176
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 5: for mister Machado.

177
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: But he was not alone. He was not alone.

178
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper, you heard him. Bryce Harper plays in Philadelphia.

179
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper was asked about the Dodgers. He said, I

180
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: love what the Dodgers knew. Obviously, Bryce Harper said to

181
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: reporters in Florida. He said, quote, I mean they pay

182
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: the money, they spend the money. I mean they're a

183
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: great team. They run their team like a business, and

184
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: they run it the right way, Harper said. And he

185
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: went on to say each team in baseball has an

186
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: opportunity to do the same thing, Harper repeating the same

187
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: line that Machadda used without the profanity. Maybe not at

188
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: the upper echelot of money, Harper said, but they can draft, they.

189
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 3: Can develop, they can trade.

190
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: I think a lot of teams can do that in baseball,

191
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: and they should close quote all right, So the question

192
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: on this one. You've got a couple of big stars

193
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: in baseball, highly paid, highly compensated, obviously, So how do

194
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: you dissect the Philadelphia Phillies Bryce Harper and the Padres

195
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: star Manny Machado endorsing the Dodgers spending spree?

196
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: All right, So I wrote down my report card.

197
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: I wrote down E for expected, as in, it's expected

198
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: this would happen MLB stars in general. This is a

199
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: point of demarcation. MLB stars want thirty teams to act

200
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: like the Dodgers and what the Yankees used.

201
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: To be, and they're not like that anymore.

202
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 2: But that's obviously what you want, and you would want

203
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: the same thing if you were playing Major League Baseball.

204
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: Don't sit as Oh, no, I don't want the Dodgers many,

205
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't shut up.

206
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: If you were a baseball player, or you had a

207
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: kid that was a baseball player, you would want the

208
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: Dodgers to be the model franchise for every team. Instead,

209
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: you've got these these people carrying the water for these

210
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: cheap owners.

211
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: And they're going around here and half.

212
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: The owners of Major League Baseball act like the neighborhood

213
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 2: hoa president.

214
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no fireworks. You can't have any fun,

215
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 5: No landscaping upgrades, cannot.

216
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: Do it, cannot do it.

217
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, we all agreed this neighborhood is

218
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: going to be mediocre. We want mediocre. You can't put

219
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: the razzle dazzle. You're not allowed to put the razzle dazzle.

220
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you and your razzle dazzle? That's essentially

221
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: where we are. It's pathetic, it's absolutely pathetic. They don't

222
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: want parody, right, this big buzzword parody. They want comfort.

223
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: The owners want comfort. They want to pocket the revenue

224
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: and have you support them making more money, and you're

225
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: doing it.

226
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: A lot of you are so stupid. You're doing it right.

227
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: They want to pocket the revenue sharing and all that

228
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: stuff and finish ten games under five hundred barring baseball

229
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: without some kind of revolt, and they're actually getting people

230
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: supporting them, which is fascinating to me that there's so

231
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 2: many dumb people that are supporting these tight wad owners.

232
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: It's wild.

233
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: And the whole the salary cap thing that's not parody.

234
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: It's about owners being too lazy to compete, and they

235
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: want the rules rewritten because they're tired of the big

236
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: kid winning the Science Fair every year. They're like, well,

237
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: that's not right, and if you can't beat them, just

238
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: legislate them. Right, it can't beat the Dodgers, so we'll

239
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: just legislate. So they have to get rid.

240
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 4: Of some players.

241
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: What a loser's mantra, What a bunch of losers?

242
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: Right now, EMA's agreement is all a twenty twenty seven.

243
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: It is gonna be a workstopage, and it's all because

244
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: of a line in the sand being drawn because of

245
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: the Dodgers spending. It's coming the tight wad ownership class

246
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. They loathe the Dodgers, can't stand

247
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: the Dodgers because they get exposed by the Dodgers. They

248
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: get exposed that they don't really try to win. And

249
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: it's the same group that scumbag who owns the Athletics,

250
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: the Pirates, the Reds, the same.

251
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: Teams year after year are in that class.

252
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: And it's just a loser's editor, like somebody, what happened

253
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: to the people's Like, listen, there is a giant dragon,

254
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: fire breathing, three headed dragon out there, and so let's

255
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: pick up the sword and we are going to be

256
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: the dragon Slayer, and we're gonna be the team that

257
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: they make the documentaries about because we beat the big, bad, mighty,

258
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: fire breathing, three headed Dodger Dragon. We're gonna beat them. Instead,

259
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: you just have a bunch of people whining it's not fair.

260
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's not fair. Boooooo. Oh my god,

261
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: such losers. I'm embarrassed for people that think that way.

262
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: It's such a loser's attitude. Now, point to the Cactus League.

263
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: We stay. We go now to Arizona in the Cactus League.

264
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: That's where it is. It's all in Arizona. Hello, former

265
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: Phillies outfit there. Nick Casteanos has found a new home.

266
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: By the time.

267
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: Now, we were on the radio at the end of

268
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: the week and he had just been whacked by the

269
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: Phillies and we said, well, you should wait, wait for

270
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: one of the really good teams to have an injury,

271
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: and then you can get a job somewhere and you'll

272
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: be in good shape. Well, Castianos had no patience. He

273
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: did not make it through the weekend. He joined the

274
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: Padres over the weekend after being unceremoniously dumped by the

275
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: Phillies because of a presidente beer that he was drinking

276
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: in the locker room last summer, or actually on the bench,

277
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: brought it, well, he was, I don't know if he's drinking,

278
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: and he brought it to the bench and started harassing

279
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: the Phillies manager in front of everyone else. So Philadelphia

280
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: will end up paying almost all of Castianos's salary twenty

281
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: million dollars, and the Padres will pay him the veteran minimum.

282
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: Now, I'm of the age.

283
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: I remember when I was a kid, I used to

284
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: hear stories about people that were making the veteran minimum

285
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: and they had to sell cars in the offseason. They

286
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: had to get jobs in the off season. Do you

287
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: know what the minimum salary for a veteran baseball player

288
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: is in the year twenty twenty six. Yeah, it is

289
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: seven hundred eighty thousand dollars. That's the minimum getting salary

290
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: for a veteran. Seven hundred eighty thousand. I think that's

291
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: the minimum salary in general. I don't mean it's based

292
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: on whether you're a veteran or not. I think even

293
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: if you're a rookie seven hundred eighty thousand bucks. There's

294
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: nobody poor who's a baseball player in the major leagues

295
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't exist. In the only way you would be

296
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: poor is if you're really bad at gambling like those

297
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: Cleveland pitchers, or or the other other thing.

298
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: Just terrible investments.

299
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: So anyway, the point of all this, Philadelphia will be

300
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: paying most of the salary. Padres will not be paying

301
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: much of anything. As we said, he at one point

302
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: point was an All Star, a two time All Star Castanos,

303
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: and he has taken a sharp decline. He is a

304
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: below average major league player at this point. He was

305
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: last year in Philadelphia. So the question for the esteem panel,

306
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: Nick Casteanos joining the Padres joined the Padres. Is this

307
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: a big deal, a little deal or no deal? So

308
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: I wrote down little deal with a lower casel, not

309
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 2: a capital L, a lower CASELL. And it's not a

310
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: blockbuster edition. If it is, it's a blockbuster video edition

311
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. For Castianos, that's it. And it's

312
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: you know what it is. It's like going to Trader

313
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: Joe's and they have those little appetizer things like the

314
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: on the toothpick and you get a little piece of cheese,

315
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: a little cube of cheese, and it's right next to

316
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 2: the frozen orange chicken. You're like, why can't I get

317
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 2: some orange chicken. Well, we didn't cook that. We've got

318
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: the little Cuba cheese. But I don't want the Cuba cheese.

319
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: But it's all we have. Okay, I'll take the Cuba cheese,

320
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: but I'd rather have the little piece of orange chicken.

321
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: We don't have that again.

322
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: So Pasty arrives, much to the dismay of Jonathan and

323
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: Delaware in the gas Lamp Quarter when the Podreys start playing.

324
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: He's a diminished asset at this point, after his time

325
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, a man. They said, well, it's just a

326
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: change of scenery. He'll be ready to go and all

327
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 2: that stuff. Just needs a new set of laundry.

328
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 3: And he'll be ready to go.

329
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: I would argue he needs to be fumigated and decontaminated

330
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: and sanitized because there's a lot going on with his cat,

331
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 2: a lot going on with his cat. He sucked at

332
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 2: a time he cannot suck. At the end of the

333
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: regular season, from July first of July to the end

334
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 2: of the year, he batted two oh six. He was

335
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 2: worse in the playoffs for the Fight in Phills as

336
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: they quickly exited the playoffs, and so now Castiano's parachutes

337
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: into a clubhouse starring the aforementioned Manny Machado captain sideye

338
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: Fernando to tease Junior elmgo filtered, check him for.

339
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: The you know the cream if you will.

340
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: So the pod now the Padre romantics so like, oh,

341
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: everything's great here, this is fine. It's a good landing spot.

342
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: Machado and Nick where buddies. They were childhood pals and

343
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: they know each other and all this stuff, and I say,

344
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: whoop the dam do? They're grown ass men right now.

345
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: And this has a high chance of being a debacle. Now,

346
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: if it is a debacle, the Padres will just say

347
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: bye bye. They'll get rid of Casteos. He won't be

348
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: there very long. Padres are currently down wind from a

349
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: toxic vapor cloud adding this guy in. They're just not

350
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: as good as they have been in recent years. And

351
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: that is a team. You keep an eye on the Padres.

352
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: If they don't get off to a good start in

353
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six baseball season, we get to that

354
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 2: July portion and it could be burned baby burn in

355
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 2: terms of a fire sale situation there as they start

356
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: unloading some of these veteran players.

357
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: It is the Ben Mahler shelf.

358
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,959

359

360

Speaker 2: owner was not actually racing. And also the All Star Game,

361
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,359

362
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: actually looked like they were trying, looked like they were trying.

363
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,240

400
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 2: and the Queues Rights in says A plus on the

401
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: Mala monologue. This is a non story to me. Chip says,

402
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: it's something the media hacks stir up for attention and clicks.

403
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: I assume you're talking about the New York Mets and

404
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: their situation with Fernando or for Francisco Lindor, Francisco Lindor

405
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 2: and Juan Soto.

406
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: Chip says, think about it.

407
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 2: How many workplaces have more than twenty five people on staff,

408
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: have all the people they're getting along great?

409
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: My guess is not many. Chip.

410
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: I think there's something there though, when they're at Loggerheads.

411
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: I think there's more to that story with the Mets.

412
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: That's it's my take on it. Anyway, let's see Michael

413
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 2: writes in he says all halftime shows absolutely suck. Good

414
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: on you for not watching any of them. And he

415
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: says any one can rip on soccer, but at least

416
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: even in the final, in which five billion people will

417
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: be watching this summer, he says, nobs.

418
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, but not in America.

419
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: It won't be you know, there's obviously not five billion

420
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: people here in America. But it's the global game and

421
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: all that, but it doesn't has not played here in

422
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: the States. RPS, right, since says do you know when

423
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: a break is coming up? Says is it out of

424
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: your hands? You get cut out a decent amount of time. Well,

425
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: that's intentionally, RPS. That's an intentional act because if there's

426
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: a lot of hosts, we call them bad talk to

427
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 2: your hosts, they spend about ten minutes announcing they're going

428
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: to break, and it's a great way to get your

429
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: audience to tune out and not listen. So we generally

430
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: do not announce. That's something that we've done a long time.

431
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 2: I've done a lot of times. You don't announce when

432
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: you're going away, and it's kind of a surprise, and

433
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: it's a surprise for you the listener, and that's it.

434
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: You don't know when exactly that moment's going to take

435
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: place where you go away, and that's it. So that's

436
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: why we do it that way, and it keeps you

437
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: on your toes. You never know, never know, JJ and

438
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: Rerent and Ripping. The people calling into the show, which

439
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: is always JJ used to be one of our callers.

440
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: He's semi retired from calling. Well let's get into it

441
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: right now, so we'll do the Dougie and part of

442
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. Doug Gottlieb went viral

443
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 2: on site. We don't really talk about Green Bay men's basketball.

444
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: Why would be they suck? But Doug Gottlieb oer old

445
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: buddy there. Former Fox Sports radio talk shows. Gottlieb is

446
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: currently coaching in Green Bay and they played Sunday against Milwaukee,

447
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: an all Wisconsin matchup, and Gottlieb was not happy. Our

448
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: former colleague, Doug Gottlieb not happy with the officiating during

449
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: that game, and he worked himself up into a tizzy.

450
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 2: Take a listen here here's Doug Gottlieb as he was

451
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: talking postgame, his team losing by three points and Gottlieb

452
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: working himself up into a ladder.

453
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: Take it is, I need the league.

454
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 7: To explain to me why I got a technical foul

455
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 7: when I was I did not curse, I was not demonstrative,

456
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 7: I did not leave my box.

457
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 8: All I said was that's the same play as the

458
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 8: other end.

459
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: Okay.

460
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 8: All we ask is that there's a fair game.

461
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: That's what we ask. Okay.

462
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 7: C J O'Hara goes and gets an offensive rebound. Their

463
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 7: player dives at his legs.

464
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 6: CJ.

Speaker 2: of the holiday. He must be off work from the holiday.

00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: He's a Reagan guy, but I don't know. He might

634
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: surprise me. He could throw somewhere off the you know,

635
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: off the grid there. But anyway, Yes, what's what's going

636
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: on with you?

637
00:33:52,280 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 4: Stan Lee?

638
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: Yes, thanks for listening. I watched it.

639
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: It was on in the background as I was doing

640
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 2: some other things there. But I did have the Dayton

641
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: of five hundred on and I'll uh, I'll call the

642
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: Saga and wake him up. He's sleeping right now. But

643
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: I'll let him know that you appreciate his work.

644
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 7: You know, anybody does just the plate right, You know

645
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 7: that they put a longer, strong plate on it in

646
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 7: the end, the full positions of hundred.

647
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 6: Lady, when they ran in a pack of six for more,

648
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 6: they ran one hundred and.

649
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: Ninety one, So that's something.

650
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 6: And inevitably does plate right and end up in their.

651
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 4: Flap flap flag that's unfortunately befected.

652
00:34:51,640 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: He's good God, How do you know he's a good guy? Yeah, well,

653
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: you know you don't know that for sure. I mean,

654
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: Jordan's trying to win. You put some people on there

655
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: just they're they're going to help you win. You might

656
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 2: look the other way, right, that happens, and why not?

657
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: I didn't see Jordan. He was wearing a hat. He

658
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: didn't look like he had even like the Nike logo

659
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: on it, or the air or the Jordan logo. It's

660
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: just like a blank hat that he was wearing. After

661
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: Nascar is all about logos though it's NonStop logo, but

662
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: Jordan just had a generic white hat on with no logo.

663
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 3: Very odd.

664
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: You'd think he would have at least his own logo

665
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: on there, or the Nike logo but nothing, or the

666
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 2: Nascars on NASCAR Racing Logos team's logo but no. So

667
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: all right, Stanley, You're okay, Lo your health is all right. Yes,

668
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: you're hanging in there. Okay, all right, you sound you

669
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 2: sound full of energy, Stanley, you do all right? There

670
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,520

712
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: Stevie Meatballs, Hansen Umbap from Eileen Tim Rattay guess by

713
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 2: Rob in Minnesota?

714
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 3: Who else do we have Paige down.

715
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: JT the wing Man going with Harvey lip Shuts or

716
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: something like that.

717
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 3: I'm not going there.

718
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: Who else do we have a trojan Man from far

719
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: out Dave Uh, Paige Dan, We'll skip over that, Tim

720
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: Biakabatuca from slug Hey Body in Vegas. That's his answer.

721
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 2: Hollering James was to blame. According to Mike the Leprechaun,

722
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: that's his answer. The correct answer would be none other

723
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: than Bijon Robinson of the Atlanta Falconijon.

724
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: Robinson, it's maller. How about that?

725
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 6: To the third degree, this is.

726
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 3: One that gets gulled, all right.

727
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 11: Former Star tight End Colorado Star tight End Christian Fourier

728
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 11: said that he's tapped out on supporting Dion Sanders Colorado program.

729
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 11: I think the last straw for him was his son

730
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 11: getting his number retired. But do you think Dion's time

731
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 11: is he's on the hot seat there in Colorado.

732
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: No, because they're they're making money.

733
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: I think if they keep losing, Dion's not gonna stick

734
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 2: around because he doesn't want to be associated with losing.

735
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 3: But financially they're viable.

736
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 2: They're making a lot of money, and that's ultimately what

737
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: it's about.

738
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: If you can't, you want championships every year, but you're

739
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 3: gonna make the money. That's what we're doing next.

740
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 11: Eli Manning said over the weekend that he can't imagine

741
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 11: a more deserving coach for the Hall of Fame than

742
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,479
Speaker 11: Bill Belichick. Eli himself has been eligible for two years

743
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 11: and has not made it in yet. Do you think

744
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 11: he makes it next year?

745
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 8: No?

746
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 11: He should.

747
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: Eli Manning should be in the Hall of Fame. He's

748
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 2: not a Hall of Fame quarterback. He's an average quarterback.

749
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: He's not Hall of Fame worthy. But he does help

750
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 2: Eli Manning if Belichick's in the Hall of Fame, because

751
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: he beat Belichick twice, and so it's like that's his

752
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: claim to fame. Other than that, Eli Mannings is really

753
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: a loser as a quarterback.

754
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 11: Next, So the NFL has tried to stop the NFL

755
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 11: Players Association from publishing the team report cards. But that

756
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 11: did not work, then arbitration would in the players Association's favor.

757
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 11: And do you think they should be able to publicize

758
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 11: these report cards.

759
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: Well, they'd have to redo the CBS against the rules

760
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: of the NFL players signed off. They will not allow that,

761
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: So it's against the NFL rules. They got to change

762
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: the rules. But if they do that, sure there it

763
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 2: is malle of a third degree
