So our lead 11 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: this hour from Seattle, where the Seahawks have opened up 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: the oil reserve and decided to give out the riches 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: of Solomon team is for sale right now some rich 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: tech personal buyder, hedge fund person. Those are the only 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: people that buy teams these days. So somebody very wealthy, 16 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,319 Speaker 1: more wealthy than you and I, is going to buy 17 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: the team and they will inherit a massive contract given out. 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: As we learned that Jackson Smith and Jigma, the reigning 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: NFL Offensive Player of the Year, has agreed to a contract. 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: He'll get four years, same money you're making four years, 21 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty eight point six million. I'll just 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: take the point six I'd be happy one hundred and 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: sixty eight point six million the contract extension, which we 24 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: are told, yes, indeed, will make him the highest paid 25 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: wide receiver in the history of the NFL. Holy Willie 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: Flipper Anderson Batman. Yes, the money, jeez great, Well, when 27 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: you deal with inflation, it's the same money as like 28 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: John Taylor was making as the number two receiver for 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: the Niners back in the late eighties in the early nineties. Right, No, 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: it's not okay, So he will get if assuming he 31 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: plays out the contract. We're told he'll get an average 32 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: forty two million Jackson Smith and Jigba forty two million, 33 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: and that includes over one hundred and twenty million gam 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: wrong Teed, gearrong Teed and both those setting records. I 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: know we're very happy about that. So pour one out 36 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: for Jackson Smith and Jigba as he gets paid. That 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss reading 38 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: some of the instant reaction from the media elites that 39 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: cover the NFL. They seem to be in agreement that 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 1: this is a major win for the Seattle football team. 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question the Seahawks extension of 42 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba is being universally praised and celebrated. 43 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: Way to go. What's your take? 44 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: So I've got glow sticks, avocados and the Gap band, 45 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and 46 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: we will play on the jungle gym. 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: Is what we're going to do. So hey, let's begin 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: with this. 49 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba obviously got a ton of money. 50 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: Good for him, great mitzvah right, and that pigskin pundits 51 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: are clapping like rain seals at seahawk World. Not SeaWorld. 52 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: Seahawk World is what they're doing here. Now, my view 53 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: is more measured, as you know, I am the voice 54 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: of reason in the overnight, not part of the mainstream 55 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: media establishment. That's six am to six pm. We're on overnight, 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: So we are not part of the mainstream media elites, 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: those guys that live in big mansions and get all 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: kinds of bling bling. No, no, we're not that. So 59 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: this is an excession. He had a sixty nine million 60 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus. That's a lottery that's bigger than most 61 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: of the lotteries today, sixty nine million. And he got 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: that as a reaction to what is a pure dopamine 63 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: hit an injection in fact, not just an injection of 64 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: dopamine straight into the jugular of the front office. And 65 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: JSN has gotten the benefit of being obviously it was 66 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: a central figure. And what they did with the Seahows 67 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: got some help from the referees against the Rams. We 68 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: all know that that's certainly should thank the referees. They 69 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: should get checks as well, Jackson Smith and Jig but 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: should give them checks for helping them out there the Seahawks, 71 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: otherwise they would not have won the Super Bowl. But 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: monster mashing in twenty twenty five, no debate, no if 73 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: sands were butts about it. He was great last year. However, 74 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: it's one truly elite season. What is the gold The 75 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: golden rule was always and I know it's no longer 76 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: the golden rule, you're just doing an old guy radio dude. 77 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: But the rule had always been you got to do 78 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: it twice to prove that that year was not a 79 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: fluke and that one out the win. And we see 80 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: stiff quarterback Kyler Murray sucked. 81 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: Everyone knew it. 82 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: The Cardinals paid him, they gave him the big contract 83 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: in Houston. Right now they're dealing with that. 84 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: CJ. Stroud blows. 85 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: They gave him, you know, they gave him a contract, 86 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna give him another big, massive contract. So 87 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: he's gonna get paid a ton of money and he's 88 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: not that good, and they'll do it because they have 89 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: to do it, and that's what you do and all 90 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. But in this case, at least he was 91 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: great for one year dominant season. The main reason the 92 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: theory I have, the main reason that Jackson Smith and 93 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: jig But got this contract is simply because of the 94 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: glow sticks. When I say the glowsticks, I'm talking about 95 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: the afterglow of the Super Bowl that you're around. That 96 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: Lombardi trophy. You get in that same room, it's like fentanyl. Yeah, 97 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: you get a contact high. Don't touch it. You get 98 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: that contact high. Mentioned the dopamine, You get that dopamine going. 99 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: And so Seattle is paying a premium as a thank 100 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: you note. Amazing and it was a great memory. It 101 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: was wonderful and it's written in gold ink. And now 102 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: you got to keep doing it all right now, page two. 103 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: So the theme of the hour here as we continue 104 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: to march and matriculate down the audio clock here. So 105 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: the question now is how could this Jackson Smith and 106 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Jigba massive record breaking wide receiver contract backfire for the 107 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: six Now, it would be really sad if this would 108 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: have backfired. I'd be really depressing if this turns out 109 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: to be a bad contract, even though. 110 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: Everyone's celebrating it. 111 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: And one thing I've learned over the years is when 112 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: everyone's in agreement on something, run the other way. When 113 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: everyone thinks something's going to happen, go the other direction 114 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: because nobody knows anything. It's the chaos theory of the world. 115 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: Everyone's just making stuff up thinking they know. 116 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 3: They don't know. 117 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: So it certainly looks fine because the salary cap goes 118 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: up every year. You're like, the money stuff doesn't really 119 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: doesn't really do. 120 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: Much for me. 121 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: But as long as he continues to be a human 122 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: cheat code, you're like, Okay, that's fine. However, in the multiverse, 123 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: there is a dimension where Smith and Jigba is just 124 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: really good and not that really good is bad. No 125 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: one would say really good is bad. Really good is 126 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: really good, so you go, okay, However, is really good 127 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: a forty million, forty two million dollar neighborhood for a 128 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: wide receiver or did Seattle just by beachfront property, and 129 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: the reality is they are sitting in Nebraska. Is that 130 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: the reality on that? And so this always becomes press 131 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: your luck. These contracts are press your luck, big money, big. 132 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: Money, big money. No emmy, no emmy, stop like that. 133 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: That's how it goes. Now. 134 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: The smart money says that a monster career year for 135 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba will lead to what we call a 136 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: regression to the mean that he's not that good and 137 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: he's going to fall back a little bit, and extreme 138 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: outcomes are followed by more moderate ones. 139 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: We all know that. 140 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: And he is young and all, he was all excited 141 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: about that, twenty four years old. That's oh, he's so young. 142 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: Youth is lovely, it's so adorable. The youth, Oh my god. However, 143 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: I have learned that not everyone. Can you just assume 144 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: because someone's young and have success, they're going to continue 145 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: to have success. We all know the person that peaked 146 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: in high school, right, the star of the high school 147 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: football team that never did anything, of the hottest girl 148 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: in school who just became a loser. We all know 149 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: that person, right, we all live that life. We've seen that. 150 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: So that happens in sports too, and it's no different 151 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: than a new car. Yeah, you go down and the 152 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: new car is great, it's wonderful. You go down a 153 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: Car Max or wherever dealership, you get a car, and 154 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: right until you drive that car off the lot, it's great. 155 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: And then the value drops down, down, down, down down. 156 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: How low can you go faster than a defensive coordinator 157 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: having a meltdown, having a lack of patience because their 158 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: defense sucks and all that. But generally speaking, receivers, if 159 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: you look at the up and down of the wide 160 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: receiver position, it's like an avocado. Now, I'm not a 161 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: big avocado guy. The avocado, though, can be absolutely perfect. 162 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: You take it from the story, you put in your 163 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: little plastic bag and you take that home and it's perfect, 164 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: and then like you don't even pay attention to it, 165 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: and then a minute later it's this brown mush and 166 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: it's just disgusting. And so that does happen a bit. 167 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: Now JSN has a bigger bullseye the Seahawks as a 168 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: team winning the Super Bowl, But it's about the size 169 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: of that bullseye of Mount Rainier for Jackson, Smith and Jig. 170 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: But every defensive back will from here to Miami, We'll 171 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, so now we can circle the name 172 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: and our name will be uplifted. 173 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: It's like a launching pad. 174 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: If we shut down this guy because he got the 175 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: cartoon contracts, so we're good on that. And if production 176 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: does dip even a little bit, then this Smith and 177 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: Jigbud deal turns into moldy bread, not slice bread, moldy bread. 178 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: And based on the twenty twenty five production, if you 179 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: look at that, just based on that year, if he 180 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: had the same exact year, which would be an amazing year. 181 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: No one has back to back career years, it doesn't happen. 182 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: If he does Jackson, do that, then he would be 183 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: getting three hundred and fifty three thousand dollars per catch. 184 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: He would be getting four point two million dollars per 185 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: touchdown based on some back of the Napkin malar math. 186 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: So it seems like that's pretty good at that price. 187 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: You would think that each reception would come with a 188 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: complimentary like valet parking, get free valet parking, You get 189 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: a dessert cart with really nice designer cupcakes and those 190 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: thick cookies, the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that are 191 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, you get all that. Now, last word here, 192 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: So flipping the page. Flipping the page now as we 193 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: continue to hearing the Ben Malor show. So now that Seattle 194 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: forked over the cash and they made it rain. In fact, 195 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, as I'm told that No Stradinas and Jay 196 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: j n Renton, they actually Seattle they needed some money, 197 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: so they took some cash from those guys to pay 198 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: Smith and jig But it's unfortunate unless they didn't. So 199 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: Seattle forked over all this money. The question here is 200 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: what are the trickle down economics? Shout out Ronald Reagan, 201 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: what are the trickle down economics of this Jackson, Smith 202 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: and Jigba contract with Seattle around the NFL. So it 203 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: is reverberating, reverberating around the NFL. The rest of the 204 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: NFL cranking up the Gap band. That's old. That's an 205 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: old band, the gap band right on the boom box. 206 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: They got that going. That's old. Also, you dropped a 207 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: bomb on Me. That's the song you dropped a bomb 208 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: on me. The Seahawks trickled down economics. Bomb come boom, 209 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: come boom, just like that on the rest of the NFL. 210 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: So if you check the consumer price Index, the Seahawks 211 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: have just raised the price of grocer around the NFL 212 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: just like that. Now, former President Joe Biden would say, 213 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: it's the putin price hike on wide receivers, that's it. 214 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: The JSN deal is pure salary cap inflation. But it 215 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: trickles down. I'm a salary cap truther, so I don't 216 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: really care about that, but it trickles down. It inflates 217 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: everything suddenly. The issues here. I mean, I was getting 218 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: text from from friends of mine that are around this 219 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: world and they're like, well, you know, Jamar Chase is 220 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: going to be like, wait a minute. You know I'm 221 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: better than Smith and Jigba. I should be getting this 222 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: money and my contract. I'm now number two, but I'm 223 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: a bargain And every other wide receiver from Justin Jefferson 224 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: to CD Lamb, all these guys would be like, hey, 225 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: let's try to renegotiate, gets some more money. 226 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 3: Who says no? 227 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: And the one that's really smiling Pooka Nakoua, who's measurably better. 228 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: And you'd much rather have Pooka Nakoula than Jackson, Smith 229 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: and Jigba on your team. Please not even close. And 230 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: and he's got Phokinaku has got a cheshire cat smile 231 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: on his on his face from ear to ear because 232 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: he's sitting in the pole position and he's like, Hey, 233 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: I got next, I'm in put me in, coach, I'm 234 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: ready to play. The wide receiver market is on fire, 235 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: absolute fire, and it does prove. 236 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: The cap is crap. 237 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: And I get nasty emails every once in a while some 238 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: guys who don't have the balls to call. 239 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 3: I get it. 240 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: You're afraid I understand, so you send me long manifesto emails. 241 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: Do I read the whole email? Hell no, I may 242 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: be read the first couple of sentences. That's it, and 243 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: I get bored. But you're yell. I know what the 244 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: tone is. You know you're not a math guy, and 245 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: you know you went to Shuttle Bark College and you 246 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: don't know about shut up. I know it's bogus. The 247 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: salary cap is bogus. It just fools dumb people. 248 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 3: That's it. That's all. And this is more evidence of that. 249 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: The rich get richer good, the mid tier guys get 250 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: squeezed bad. The owners are still gonna cry poverty. It's 251 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: a great excuse. I can't afford to sign that player. 252 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: It's all Sorlarycap. Yet other teams just cook the books 253 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: and move numbers around, sign whoever they want, and then 254 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: every once in a while you have to take it 255 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: in the shorts, and then that's it. 256 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor 257 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 258 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 259 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 3: Hi, this is Jay. 260 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 4: I'm the producer of the Paul and Tony Fusco Show. 261 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 4: Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to 262 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: the show.

The hosts are two absolute morons who 264 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 4: have the dumbest takes on sports magical.

He's still moving, So let's talk some baseball. 270 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: Start out in Atlanta. This is a story that caught 271 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: my attention, and. 272 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 3: I think it's interesting. 273 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: This happens a lot in baseball, more so in baseball 274 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: than other sports. So a couple years back, the Atlanta Braves, 275 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: that's a baseball team, and the Atlanta Braves had a 276 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: pitcher named Spencer Strider who scared the bajeebers. 277 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: Out of me. 278 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: I say, oh, my god, this guy's going to dominate 279 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: the baseball circuit for the next ten years total stud 280 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: watch out and he was great. He I won twenty games, 281 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: is his first real full season in the big leagues. 282 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: I was like, my god, the Atlanta Braves are set. Well, 283 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: the season's about to begin here. In fact, it begins tomorrow. 284 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: This is it's early Tuesday. The season begins on Wednesday, 285 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: and Spencer Streider will start the twenty twenty six baseball season, 286 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: where he has been quite a bit in recent years 287 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: on what we used to call back in the day 288 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: the disabled list, but the Wolkester's got the baseball so 289 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: now they call it the injured list, because I guess 290 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: disabled offensive and the injury. The injury for Spencer Strider 291 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: an oblique strain. An oblique You think if I gave 292 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: some of these people that call the show one thousand dollars, 293 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: they would be able to tell you what an oblique is. 294 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: Probably not probably not a muscle on the side of 295 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: your They call it the trunk, the middle part of 296 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: your body. There, the trunk part of your body, no legs, 297 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: no arms, just the middle part. So anyway, we are 298 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: told the good news. I love this, the good news 299 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: bad news. The good news is the injury. It's not 300 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: an arm injury. It's just it's an oblique and all that. 301 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: The bad news is he's gonna miss six weeks, which 302 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: my computer like brain tells me is a month and 303 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: a half that he will be out. Bye bye, that's it, 304 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: see you later. And not only that, he would have 305 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: to then go and work bullpen sessions and minor league 306 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: assignments to come back after that, because he is not 307 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: going to be able to throw the baseball until the 308 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: injury heals. And so the oblique muscle, if you need 309 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: to twist your body or bend your body, it's a problem. 310 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a pitcher that has been able 311 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: to throw a baseball without twisting their body or bending 312 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: their body? Because I've not seen it. I've not seen it. 313 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: I have not seen it. So anyway, as a result, 314 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna be out for a while. So it's good 315 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:36,239 Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question at Atlanta Bright. Now, 316 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: this is if anyone's going to take down the Dodgers 317 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: in the National League, the smart people claim it's the Braves, 318 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: that they're the top team the threat to the Dodgers, 319 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: not the Podres or the Giants, or the Phillies or 320 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: the Cubs, It's the Atlanta Braves. So my thought on 321 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: the question is this, you know, how are you reading 322 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: this latest development? That's the question, how are you read 323 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: in this latest development with Spencer Strider, It's gonna be 324 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: out at least a month and a half, likely two 325 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: and a half months. I'm gonna say so my observations, 326 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: I've got the better business Bureau, Spirit Animal and doctor 327 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: pimple Popper, and we will combine all of these things 328 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: together and we are going to throw a knuckleball, is 329 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: what we're going to do. 330 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: Now, Number. 331 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: It is now fair to declare, without all precincts reporting in, 332 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: we have now decided that Spencer Strider, who looked like 333 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: the next great Braves pitcher online with that golden era 334 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: of Maddox, Glavin and Smoltz, can now be classified as 335 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: a shooting star. 336 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: That's it. 337 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: I danced in the sky, little little dancy in the 338 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: sky there and then faded into the darkness. 339 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 3: A one hit wonder. 340 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: He was a lou Bega Mambo number five, Remember that 341 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: song Mambo number five was popular, right, Because I'm making 342 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: too many music references because there's a lot of music 343 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: snobs and I'm not a music guy. I just know 344 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: a little bit on the surface when it comes to music. 345 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a music guy. And the music snob loves 346 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: to say, Hey, sporty boy, you don't know what you're 347 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: talking about. But I'm pretty sure that that was the 348 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: only hit a little bit, you know that. 349 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 3: Remember the song Monica exactly? 350 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, a one hit wonder. That is what Spencer Streider is. 351 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: Baseball version of a band that had one catchy song 352 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: that everyone played for a couple of months back when 353 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: people used to do that, when everyone was listening to 354 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: the same stuff and all that, and then disappeared and 355 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: then popped up years later doing the Country Fair Circuit, 356 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: which is just great. And twenty three for Spencer Strider 357 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: was amaze. That was a solid gold hell he went platinum. 358 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: He went platinum since then. Spencer Strider has an era 359 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: of over five almost five and a half straight to 360 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: the bargain bin of baseball. And if you look at 361 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: the red marks on his injury report, it's the same 362 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: color of the Angels alternative uniforms, those red red jerseys 363 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: that they wear. And so now he's back yet again 364 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: on the il Spencer Strider with this oblique injury. This 365 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: is what he is, This is who he is. This 366 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: is not a detour, this is a road map. It 367 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: is a treasure map. He's on the injury list, you 368 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: know so much. It's like, my god, what are you doing? 369 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: And it's just bodies either falling apart or something's going 370 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: on here. And the season begins and they're like. 371 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 3: Oh, this guy. 372 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: They were getting reports out. I was reading some of 373 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: the stories out of the Atlanta Brave spring training camp. 374 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: This guy was great, and he's throwing the mid nineties again, 375 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: the veloss. He's up a little higher, not what it was, 376 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: but not that low, and things are looking good and 377 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: boom goes the dynamite. 378 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 3: Boom goes the dynamite pulled just out of there. See 379 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 3: you later. 380 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 1: So, unfortunately, pitching is a full body operation, and so 381 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: they said it's not the arm. The oblique would be 382 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: what the transmission in the automobile. I believe the transmission, 383 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: the chassis, the whole operation. So you cannot separate it, 384 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: cannot do it. 385 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: So he's gone. 386 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: From Spencer Stratter's gone from flamethrower the next big thing 387 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: to a flickering candle in. 388 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 3: The wind, a candle in the wind. 389 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: The intimidation, Eh, not quite there, not quite there. Now 390 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 1: it's essentially like traffic cones out on the highway. Everyone's 391 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: cruising for a bruising and right through those traffic cones 392 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: like that, and the Braves what they ought to do 393 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: here is content act. The Better Business Bureau, the BBB 394 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: contact them and say, hey, we thought we had found 395 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: a franchise pillar. The Braves should say to the Better 396 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: Business Bureau in Spencer Strider, and instead what they got 397 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: was a sand castle, which was really good until the 398 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: tide came in, and it didn't come in in twenty 399 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: twenty three, but in twenty four and twenty five it 400 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: came in, andto appears here in twenty twenty six it 401 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: is coming in yet again. So the mallor reality check, 402 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: the cy young level version of Spencer Stryder sing with 403 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: me now. 404 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: Not a Lota dalada Hey. 405 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: Go bye, dead and buried. That's in the afterlife that 406 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: see you later. We'll tell stories. Remember that year Spencer 407 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: Strider went twenty games. He's likely not gonna win twenty 408 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: games the rest of his career the way he's going 409 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: at this particular moment. 410 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, to Damaged. 411 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Goods two point zero, we go to La La Land, 412 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: where the Doyers the doorris idam one spring training game left. 413 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: They begin on Thursday, begin on Thursday. Giants and Yankees 414 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: begin the baseball season on Wednesday. So anyway, the spring 415 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: training festivities wrapping up at this particular point, the Dodgers 416 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: did what they normally do it this time of the year. 417 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: And every team that's had this guy in the roster 418 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: they have announced at one of their star players is 419 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: going on the injured list. Now they announced their twenty 420 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: twenty six starting rotation. This is the most dominant team 421 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: in all the baseball and it's just that no one's 422 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: gonna watch. The Dodgers are gonna win. You don't even 423 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: have to. 424 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 3: Play the games. 425 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: All that crap we gotta hear. So the Dodgers' rotation 426 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, which is Japanese for big balls man. What 427 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: did he have big balls in the World Series? So 428 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: he's the number one guy. Thank god Kershaw's not on 429 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: this team. So Emmett Sheehan is in the rotation. I 430 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: think he's gonna start second, and then Tyler Glass now 431 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: who will be injured by the end of April, and 432 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki will also be in there, and then Otani's 433 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: the number five star arder. More on Sazaki later as 434 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: he is a gas can. And then some You've got 435 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts who made the announcement. He mentioned this a 436 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 1: few days ago. Now it's confirmed. Blake Snell bro I 437 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: ain't playing unless I get mine bra Blake Snell is 438 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: gonna shockingly be on the injured list and he will 439 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: be out until sometime in the middle of May. 440 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: Hmmm. 441 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: Things that make you go, all right, question, here's the question. 442 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: Why is it every single year with this guy? How 443 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: is Dodger Pitcher Blake Snell never ever ready on time? 444 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. 445 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's like the married guy with 446 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: the wife who's I'll be ready in thirty minute. 447 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 3: No, you're ready in two hours. What's up with that? 448 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: And Blake Snell treats Opening Day like it's jury duty. 449 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: Anything he can do to get out of Opening Day. 450 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: This guy wants to do it. There must be some 451 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: great twitch stuff going on and he wants to do that. 452 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to be bothered to pitch. Are you 453 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: kidding me? 454 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 3: Now? 455 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: We are skeptical on whether or not these are legitimate 456 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: injuries or it's just like the buffering wheel of death 457 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: when the regular season is about to beginning, that thing 458 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: on your computer that keeps buffering, You're like, come on, stop, stop, stop, stop, 459 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: stop to stop buffering like that, and it's like, hey, 460 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: hold on, bro, I got Fortnite over here. I can't, dude, 461 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: I gotta concentrate on Fortnite. I must concentrate on Fortnite. 462 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: And don't worry. I'm told that Blake Snell will be 463 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: fine because he will get shoulder RUPs from that Dodger 464 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: suck up Vassa will give him shoulder RUPs. So I 465 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: think he'll be okay there eventually. And the Dodgers are 466 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: also culpable as well for saying, oh, take your time, 467 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: take your time. Yeah, what are they running a day 468 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: spa over there? They got a nice day Spa. You 469 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: see the Dodgers raised parking ten dollars from last year. 470 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Here's forty five dollars to park your car. Forty five 471 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: bucks to park your car Dodger Stadium. They got no 472 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: shame over there. 473 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 3: That is insane. 474 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Forty five dollars to park your car. They give you 475 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: an oil rub down while they're there. My god, forty 476 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: five bucks. Anyway, back to the point at hand, So 477 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: every year, going back to Tampa when he became famous, 478 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: I ain't playing unless I get mine bro. I'm risking 479 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: my live bro. And then to San Diego and San Francisco, 480 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: it's the same act. April and May it is extended 481 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: vacation and June. Hey, guys, I'm starting to stretch a 482 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm starting to stretch. He makes Kawhi Leonard 483 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: look like an iron Man. This Blake Snell he does. 484 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: And he treats half the first half of the season April, 485 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: May and June. 486 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: Blake Snell treats it like it's like it's down loadable. 487 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: Content on you know, a video game, downloadable content. That's it. 488 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: And you know, the jock sniffers, of course defend him. 489 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: The fanboys in the media defend Blake snow it's a 490 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: slow building. You'll give them time, He'll be okay, okay, yeah, 491 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: well I love the fields. Well it doesn't matter, you know, 492 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: just as long as he's there for the playoffs. Like okay, 493 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: So the Dodgers keep paying these guys tons of money 494 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: so they can charge forty five dollars price godage their 495 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: fans for parking, and it's okay for him to miss 496 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: half the half the year. Come on, not in my world. 497 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: Maybe in your world, your loser world, but not in 498 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: my world. I call that being late malfeasance, being late 499 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: to work and all that. 500 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 3: And uh now. 501 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: He's he's the only guy who's spring training ends around 502 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: the All Star Game. 503 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 3: That's it. 504 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: And his spirit animal I determined Blake Snell's spirit animal 505 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: Dodger Pitcher, Blake snell spirit animal, Garfield the cat. He's 506 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: got the trifecta. He likes snacks, naps, and video games. 507 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: All he needs is an addiction to las And who 508 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: doesn't like lazagna. 509 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 3: It's the perfect meal. You can get it with meat 510 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 3: or without. 511 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: Me just have it cheesy lasagna. You can put weird 512 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: vegetables in there. Lazagni is the perfect meal. So I'm 513 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: sure he probably does like lazagna. 514 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 3: And it's great. 515 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: You could eat it while you got the joystick in 516 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: one hand, you got the twitch camera there, and you're 517 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: eating your lasagna like that's a professional athlete place now 518 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: right there. 519 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 3: So there you go. 520 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: It is just the whole thing's ridiculous at this point. 521 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: And again the Dodgers are enabling this. They're okay with it. 522 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: It's like, as long as you're there. 523 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 3: For the last couple of months of the year, we're okay. 524 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: Remember he got lit up in the World Series, is 525 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: absolutely torched by Toronto. 526 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 3: I hated to see that so sad. 527 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: Hey, the Dodgers went anyway, But it's the old Hollywood script, right, disappear, 528 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: disappear early, and then have the dramatic second half, comeback 529 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: and go win the oscar a right, last word, quick, right, 530 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: we go to the saddest place in baseball, otherwise known 531 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: as the Big A. 532 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 3: So I had a couple of our listeners who. 533 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: Were at the Angel Dodger game, not on Tuesday or 534 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: not on Monday, rather that was at Dodger Stadium, but 535 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday, I think it was Sunday, right, They played 536 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 1: a game at Anaheim Stadium whatever it's called now, Angels 537 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: Stadium whatever, And so I guess this went viral. I 538 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: don't know if these guys took it or they found 539 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: the photo online, but there's it did go viral. There's 540 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: a photo and they try to dress up the ballpark. 541 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: And they do this pretty much every ballpark I've been to, 542 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: where they put giant sticker like fat head things, if 543 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: those are still a thing. They put these up of 544 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: different players on the team. And so the Angels went 545 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: viral for putting up images of pitcher Alec Manoa around 546 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: the Big A at least one. I think there were 547 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: more than that around the stadium, and Manoa trying to 548 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: jump start his career. He has as many wins with 549 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: the Angels as you do. He's never pitched a regular 550 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: season game with the Angels. He's had a dormant career. 551 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: We talked about Spencer Streyder, Well, this guy's Spencer Strider 552 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: on steroids. When it comes to Big Arrival and then 553 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: quick exit, vanishing act, that whole thing. He's a reclamation project. 554 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: So the question what is the word, What is the 555 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: word for the Angels putting images up of a Reclamation 556 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: project picture they took a flyer on Alec Manoa around 557 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: the Big A. My word is bewildering with a capital B. 558 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: That is my word, bewildering. I'd like to know the 559 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: person who signed off on this little arts and crafts 560 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: project there with the Angels, like somebody had to say, okay, 561 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: we need some we need some photos now. In fairness, 562 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: there's really no one else to put up there. They 563 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: all suck. 564 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 3: There's a bunch of no names there. 565 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: They got Trout has heard all the time, and that's it. 566 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: And it's essentially a triple A roster. Even with that, 567 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: why not celebrate the Angels at one point had a 568 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: good franchise before Arti Marino ruined it, Like they used 569 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: to have good players, So why not celebrate some of 570 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: those guys. Put up Darren Erstad's photo classic foot if 571 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: you if you don't have anyone on the team, who's 572 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: any good now, but celebrate your past. Put Chuck Finley 573 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: up there, or Gary Pettis or Devon White, some of 574 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: the whole School guys, Wally Joyner, some of those guys, 575 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: or Troy Loss instead, you put Alec Monoa. Come on, seriously, 576 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: and that is why the Angels are the satus team, 577 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: but they do have cheap tickets, and moms in Orange 578 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: County don't care. The moms just want a safe place 579 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: to go to watch games, and they want cheap food 580 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: and they want cheap tickets, and Arti Marino gives that 581 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: to them, so it doesn't matter. It does not matter. 582 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 3: And it's like there's just. 583 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: This gray overcast thing over the team and they're decorating 584 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: the walls at the Big A with a cautionary tale. Well, 585 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: you're supposed to brighten the ballpark. You're supposed to add 586 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: some sparkle, excite people, and uh yeah, and said this 587 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: is like an episode of Doctor pimple Popper where they 588 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: put the spotlight on the puss filled cyst. Now, why 589 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: would you do that? Yeah, And it's like, well it's see, 590 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: it's modern art. No, it's a puss filled cyst. What 591 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: are you doing depressing? It's a cry for help. And 592 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: Mano in twenty twenty two was a big time stud. 593 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: This guy was trash talking and looked like he was 594 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: gonna be great and wonderful and all that stuff, and 595 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: then it all went to hell, and an era of 596 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: about five and a half very similar to Spencer Strider 597 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: and spinning around like a gymnast, and he's like he's 598 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: got the twisties at the Olympics and all that, and 599 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: the angels are. 600 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 3: Like, hey, we got no good players, so we'll try 601 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 3: to fix this guy. You know. 602 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: It's like the the woman that takes the dude out 603 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: of prison with the rap sheet the size of Mississippi 604 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: and says, Okay, I'm gonna fix this guy. Well, no, 605 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: you're probably not. You're probably not gonna fix the guy. 606 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, they got a tanker. Every once in 607 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: a while, it works. 608 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 3: It does. 609 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: Every once in a while it works, We'll see. So 610 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: it's kind of like going to Goodwill buying this lumpy 611 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: sofa and they said, I'm gonna put new upholstery on it, 612 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna sell it as a lot a luxury item. 613 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 3: That's probably not. So there you go, delusion, delusion that 614 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 3: that was an all timer. 615 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 616 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 617 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 3: It's Mallard, how about that? 618 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 2: To the third degree? 619 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 3: This is what gets here? 620 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 5: We go Lion's running back Jamiir Gibbs is the betting 621 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 5: favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year next season 622 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 5: at plus seven hundred odds. Ben, do you think the 623 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 5: departure of David Montgomery will lead to Gibbs having a 624 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 5: monster season? 625 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: I would not take that bet. He's a good player, 626 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: very good off good player. The Lions I don't think 627 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: are going to be good enough. You gotta be really good. 628 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: I think the Lions will be a mid level team. 629 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: Jared Goff starting to go the wrong direction. So Gibbs 630 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: will be great, but he's not gonna be the offensive 631 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: player there. 632 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 5: Next, a bipartisan bill is introduced to Congress on Monday 633 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 5: that looks to banned prediction markets for sporting events. 634 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 3: Then do you think this bill will pass? Well, it's 635 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 3: always about how much lobbying. 636 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: There's a war going on between the gambling companies and 637 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: the prediction market, which are you know, listen, they're gambling operations, 638 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: and so it's whoever can rub the back of the 639 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: politicians more and give them more donations, we'll get that 640 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: law pass. 641 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 3: I think there's room for everything. 642 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: A lot of people upset with the prediction markets that 643 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: they're messing things up. 644 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 3: Next, it was. 645 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 5: Supported over the weekend that New England Patriots could potentially 646 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 5: target fore agent Joey Bosa. Do you think Bosa can 647 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 5: still be a difference maker at this point in his career? 648 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: If you need a guy that can camp out in 649 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: the injury tent, coop and miss half the games, then 650 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: he'd be the perfect addition to your foot. 651 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 3: But now, what do you do? He's always heard. He's 652 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 3: like all these other guys that are always heard. Stop 653 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 3: sending guys that are always heard? How'd we go?
