There was some 53 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: buzz in the airone fired up there and how did 54 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: that go? Mariners hosting Toronto and Game three of the 55 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: American League Championship Series in Island. 56 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: Game it was hump. 57 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: Day all that, and if you were not watching on Fox, 58 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: maybe you missed it. Vladdie no longer in a slump, 59 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: Vladimir Guerrero Junior with not one, not two, not three, 60 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: but four hits, including a home run. He scored three times. 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 2: And the Blue Jays hit not one, not two, not three, 62 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: not four, but five ding dongs. That's a lot of 63 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: ding dongs, hollering James would like that amount of ding 64 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: dongs pasting the Mariners, absolutely pacing them thirteen to four 65 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: the final in Game three, and we had forever Dirty 66 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: Cheating Astro alumni George Springer also had a dinger and 67 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: three hits. 68 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: Bang Bang, Whistle Whistle. 69 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: Springer and Guerrero each hit solo shots as Toronto finished with. 70 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: As we mentioned the five five home runs in the way, Toronto. 71 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: I had eighteen hits in this game, eighteen of them. 72 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm told that's good. I'm told that's a lot. 73 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: The better story, though, is in the losing locker room, 74 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: and so that is where we will begin as we 75 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: discuss the question when a team gets absolutely smoked like this, 76 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: what an embarrassment? The question is who gets the blame 77 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: for cal Raley's Mariners getting smashed like a bug by 78 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: a windshield driving at ninety miles an hour down the interstate. 79 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: In this case, Toronto was the one that was driving 80 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: the car and the Mariners with the bug. So my 81 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: thoughts on this, I've got brown Derby, voodoo, and overhead 82 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: bin and we will combine all of these things together 83 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: and we're gonna put the biscuit in the basket, is 84 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: what we're going to do. So let's start with this, 85 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: and you focus at the very middle of the diamond. Now, 86 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: if you imagine in your head the baseball diamond. You've 87 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: got the backstop, the catcher. We're looking out towards the outfield. 88 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: You got the catcher. You go down to the right 89 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: hand side, you get the first baseman, you got the 90 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: second basement, then the other side, you got the short 91 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: stop and the third basement. But in the middle of 92 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: all that, right the man in the middle, that would 93 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,119 Speaker 2: be the man standing on the bump, the bumpety bump, 94 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: and boyder he go bumpety bump. 95 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: That would be the starting pitcher. 96 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 2: Now, the Mariners were set up early here as j 97 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: rod hit a two run homer in the bottom of 98 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: the first. Julio Rodriguez two run shots, So see's up 99 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 2: to nothing, feeling pretty good about themselves, similar to the 100 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 2: vibe Milwaukee had in Game two. And they got the 101 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: early home run over the Dodgers. And then George Kirby 102 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: it didn't happen right away, but when it happened, he said, 103 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: you know what I want to do. 104 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I want to honor the big Dumper. I would like 105 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: to honor the big dumper. 106 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: And what better way to honor the big dumper than 107 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: Kirby bringing back an old Hollywood restaurant from early Hollywood 108 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: called the Brown Derby and a big giant brown you 109 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: know what. 110 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: All right, there. 111 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: Served up not one, not two, but three of the 112 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: five home runs, and by the time the dust had settled, 113 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: Kirby allowed eight earned runs. God awful starting pitching, right, 114 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: utterly worthless. And while Kirby was terrible, he was left 115 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: in the game for an extended dance remix. And so 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 2: you point the finger at the manager of the Seattle 117 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: baseball team, or should I point the finger at the nerds. 118 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: Either way, it's a balancing act. 119 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: You've got Dan Wilson, who is getting kind of old, 120 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: looks old Dan Wilson there in the dugout, who's juggling 121 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: machetes and butcher knives. And let's just say that he 122 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: forgot to catch a couple of the knives in one 123 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: of the you know, it just was. 124 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: It was ugly. 125 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: It was right to the forehead right there, sliced wide 126 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: open the forehead. 127 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: And you gotta have a feel for the game. 128 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: Kirby suffered from die die diarrhea during that inning, and 129 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: Wilson did not change the diaper. He did not change 130 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: the diaper. He said, you know what, you get diarrhea? 131 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: I want you to fill that diaper all the way up. Okay, good, 132 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: fill it up, fill it up some more. It's not done. 133 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: What a stinker. Now the malord advice to the Seattle 134 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: baseball team. I learned this from an NFL quarterback years ago. 135 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: When you take a deuce, you don't sit there and 136 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: look at it. No, no, you flush it and you 137 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: move on. So there you go the Mariners, who absolutely 138 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: that was more of a diarrhea situation than a deuce. 139 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: But it was quite the mess there from the Seattle 140 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: side of things, giving up eighteen hits, all those home 141 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: runs your home ballpark. Everyone all fired up, and we 142 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: have road field advantage in baseball. 143 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: It's something that nobody wants to talk about, and you know, 144 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to talk about what's wrong with you? 145 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: Because there's this myth of home field advantage, like you're 146 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: going into a stadium and there's a moat around it 147 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: and it's impossible to win in a certain stadium, which 148 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: is just bull crap. It's been that way for years 149 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: since the players union complained, and they have all the 150 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: creature comforts on the road that they would have at home, 151 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: and many of the players like playing on the road. 152 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: More than home. 153 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 2: They're away from their families. They like that, but you're 154 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: not supposed to talk about that either. Meanwhile, on the 155 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: winning side, on the winning side, the question what was 156 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: different on this night than the previous nights for Toronto 157 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: Star of Vladimir Guerrero Junior and his big night. Now, 158 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: we had mentioned in a previous episode of the show 159 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: that in his playoff career, granted small sample size, but 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: Vladimir Guerrero Junior had been absolutely monster matching against the Yankees, 161 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 2: against everyone else. He was batting one hundred in his 162 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: playoff career, like one oh three in his playoff career. Well, 163 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 2: that number has changed a lot because one night the 164 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: guy's a wet noodle and then he takes a quantum leap. 165 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: And now in this game, it was like vintage Joe 166 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: Carter reincarnated in a Blue Jay uniform there with extra 167 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: hot sauce. That was impressive there, and he was like 168 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: the bouncer at the door there and he was telling 169 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 2: the Mariners you're not on the list. 170 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: Pal, I'm sorry, get out of here. You're not invited. 171 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: The Voodoo bugoloo, the mental voodoo boogoloo, the classic slumpbuster stuff. 172 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: Mark Grace approves that message. The stage fright had been 173 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: there and the mental undressing of the matches. They say, 174 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: when you got stage fright, you got to use those 175 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: mental gymnastics and imagine that the people are are not 176 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: wearing their clothes. He had been zero for seven, so 177 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: instead of imagining though the Mariners players and boxers and briefs, 178 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: he used the art of manifestation. He had the Mariners 179 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 2: in his head and I'm convinced Uncle Moe will agree 180 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: with me on this. He had them wearing pinstripes, and 181 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: suddenly Vladdie was licking his chops, frothing like a rabbit 182 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: dog at a raw steak and a successful playoff performance. 183 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: Now Toronto clearly approach things much differently. The Blue Jays 184 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: decided to go with what we call the Caveman approach. 185 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: Me ce ball, me hit ball, Caveman approach. Right, all 186 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 2: eighteen hits within three pitches. So tat tat, hit the ball. 187 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: No chessboard, No I'm gonna try to outsmart you, and 188 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: no it was a sledgehammer. 189 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: Now it did help. 190 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: It absolutely helped that the Mariner pitchers, led by the 191 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: aforementioned mister Kirby collectively pittled down their legs on the mound. 192 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: And sometimes baseball is just that dumb, and you just 193 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 2: that's the way it is, and so you don't need 194 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: the launch angle thesis. I don't need to go into 195 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: my whole rant and rave about that. Sometimes the slump 196 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: ends because the other team to open up a nice 197 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 2: Italian bistro and serve oversized meatballs right there, or another 198 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 2: way to look at it, it's like a kid's birthday 199 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 2: party and they don't have any blindfolds. They have a 200 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: giant pinata filled with candy, and you get a bat 201 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: and no swing hards on. But you don't need to 202 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 2: worry about the blindfold. There's no need for the blindfold, 203 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: all right now, last word, so I have an h 204 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: I need discretion now. I granted this is something for 205 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: me and you might not care about That's fine. This 206 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 2: is this is therapeutic. This is therapeutic. And I'm sitting 207 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 2: there watching this game and I heard I jotted it down. 208 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: I stopped counting at about seven. I'm sure it was 209 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 2: more than that. I'm sure it was more than that. 210 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: John Smoltz on the broadcast kept saying momentum like every 211 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: inning he said moment every single inning, there must have 212 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: been a momentum button that they pressed, pressed the John 213 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: say momentum, Okay, moment So the question is, what do 214 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: you think of Fox broadcast John Smoltz and his clear 215 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: addiction to using the word momentum during these playoff broadcasts. Well, 216 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: it is the elephant in the room, the Komodo dragon 217 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: in the room. 218 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: John Smoltz is out there. 219 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: He's tossing around the word momentum like he's in the 220 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: French corner in New Orleans and he's tossing beads out 221 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: at Marti Gras just about every at bat. It seemed 222 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: I may or may not be embellishing every foul ball 223 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: every time a pigeon landed out on the warning track. 224 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 2: Momentumness momentum that I swear if he could have trademarked momentum, 225 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: you imagine how much money he would have made from 226 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 2: revenue from that, I mean the royalties. By the third inning, 227 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: he would have gone off to play golf somewhere. 228 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: That's what he would have done. 229 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: It was like he was praying to the flying spaghetti 230 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: Monster of baseball, because momentum is as real in baseball 231 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: as the flying spaghetti Monster. You all told me, you said, 232 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: Oh my god, the Mariners have all the momentum. 233 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: How'd that work out for you? Good? 234 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: Use a lot of money. I hope you lost a 235 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: lot of money. A lot of money, all right, So 236 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: might as well just pray to the flying spaghetti monster. 237 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: Oh great, newly one, grant this team with the most 238 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: vibes more invisible energy, because that's. 239 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: What momentum is. 240 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: It's not a real thing. You can't hold it, you 241 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: can't see it. It is just verbal filler. Let me 242 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: repeat that for those of you a little slow in 243 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: the back of the room. It is verbal filler. It 244 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: is sportscasting, mashed potatoes. It's rice. You know how Sometimes 245 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: you go to a like a Mexican restaurant, you order 246 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: a like a beef burrito, chicken breed or something like that, 247 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: and they'll fill it with mostly rice because rice is cheap. 248 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: It fills it up right, and you don't get the meat, 249 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: you get the cheap filler. 250 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: Well, that's the word. Momentum is cheap filler. And dingle berries. 251 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: Act like it's some kind of mystical gas cloud floating 252 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: from dugout to dugout, it's so stupid. Tries me nuts 253 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: like the Mariners. Again, I'm just repeating what you told me. 254 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: You told me this. They had all the momentum. They 255 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: carried that fifteen inning win over the Tigers, and they 256 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: flew across North America to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and they 257 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: won both games. They were up to nothing in the ALCS. 258 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: They had all the momentum. Now, let me ask you 259 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: a question. Did they make the mistake? And I think 260 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: this might have happened. I know, I want to be 261 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: fair to you. I don't want to be a complete douche. 262 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: Is it possible that the Mariners traveling party, the equipment 263 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: manager packed the momentum bag in the carry on and 264 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: that TSA said, excuse me, kind sir, I don't think 265 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: you can bring that much momentum on board. You've got 266 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: too much mo it's over the limit. You're gonna have 267 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: to leave some of that moment them here in Toronto. 268 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: But we need the momentum, sir, No, no, no, you 269 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: can't take that momentum. The plane won't take off with 270 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: all that momentum. 271 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: It's so stupid. 272 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: Or maybe they got the momentum on the plane and 273 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: then they were flying over like Fargo, North Dakota, and 274 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: somehow it slipped out. There was some turbulence and the 275 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 2: overhead beIN opened up and the momentum fell out and 276 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: then landed somewhere in North Dakota. So if you're in Fargo, 277 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: you might get a bag filled with momentum. You might 278 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: get that, all right, you might get that. And then 279 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: what happened after that? You think the Toronto Bluejay said, 280 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: you know what, we want some momentum, So why don't 281 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: we trade some delicious poutine and we'll get it back. 282 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: We'll make a deal with the baseball guys. You gave 283 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: the Mariners too much momentum. Give us some momentum. Okay, 284 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: we'll give you some momentum. Give us some poutine. Okay, 285 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: I'll take the poutine. There you go. Even on the 286 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: postgame show where they were all playing grab ass, there 287 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: you had Kevin Burkhart, who I don't know, does he 288 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: do this all the time. I just noticed it because 289 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: it was on my mind. On the postgame panel he 290 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: was doing the highlights. And if you saw the end 291 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: of the game, the Mariners hit a couple of garbage 292 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: time dingers and on the panel at the dais there. 293 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: Burkhart said Seattle might have gotten some momentum with those 294 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: late home runs going into game. 295 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: For spoiler alert, spoiler alert. 296 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: That is not momentum. That is what's called. The clinical 297 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: term is stat padding. Yes, stat padding. When your team 298 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: is down by ten runs and you hit a home run, 299 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: that is stat padding, is what it is. It's like 300 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: saying the guy that got dumped by the hot girl 301 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: but buys new socks suddenly has relationship momentum for his 302 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: next relationship. 303 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: Because he has new sucks. It's lazy. 304 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 2: It's broadcasting auto pilot. It's like sports talk show hosts 305 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: that do one, you know, one topic the entire show 306 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: because they're lazy. It drives me nuts. But went in 307 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: doubt right, went in out. I could absolutely do that job. 308 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: And I'm not being bragged doocious here. I know all 309 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 2: of the cliches, I hate almost all of them, but 310 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: I could do the job. Anytime a team takes the lead, well, 311 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: they've all the momentum right now, Nip, they've gone a 312 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: lot of momentum, NIP. 313 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: A lot of momentum. 314 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's the um of the sports broadcasting world. 315 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: Instead of saying say momentum. You have nothing to say momentum. 316 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: Ban the word. Ban the word. 317 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: Put it in the same pile as intangibles, which is 318 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 2: another bull crap word, a veteran presence, another nonsensical term 319 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 2: in sports, or just here, listen, get down and say 320 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 2: you know what to the flying spaghetti monster. My god, 321 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: all right now I feel better. See that was therapeutic. 322 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 2: That was a therapeutic rant. And now I can go 323 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: on with my night and we can settle in here 324 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: and I'm good, You're good, And I guess you could 325 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: say we have momentum. 326 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: We've got momentum. Yeah, okay. 327 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: Anyway, it is the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like 328 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: to be part of this nonsense, you can try to 329 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: get in the lines. Usually earlier it's easier, and then 330 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 2: he gets progressively harder as we go through the night. 331 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: But you give a shot, might get lucky right now, 332 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 2: and maybe get lucky in ten minutes. 333 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: Who knows where. You don't call in at all, and 334 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: you just hide behind your smartphone if. 335 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: You want to call in eight seven seven ninety nine 336 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 2: on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six six 337 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: three six nine, have a rip roying good time.
