In January, 51 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: with just a few weeks to go in the NFL 52 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: season before the super Bowl, hype gets cranked up. He 53 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: got this weekend, one more weekend and then it's all 54 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: two weeks of hype and the super Bowl and it's 55 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: all over. But our lead from rich people getting richer. 56 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: What a story, What a codit day? What if you 57 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: didn't see this? So the Mets owner Steve Cohen, who 58 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: every Met fan told me was God's gift to the 59 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: Mets that they had all those bad years. But this 60 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: was the guy Steve Kahn met fanboy bought the team. 61 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: Every player wants to play for the Mets, so Steve 62 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: Cohen posted on social media. This is a few hours ago. 63 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: He posted, let me know when you see smoke. Vague, vague, vague, 64 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: old guy social media. The indication was that the Mets. 65 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: The implication was that, and many assumed that that meant 66 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: the Mets were about to add the big kahuna in 67 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 1: free agency. Psych turns out that was a false alarm 68 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: if you did not keep track of the events of 69 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: the day here in the little sporting world that we 70 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: live in, little box that we're in. Maybe not. We've 71 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: learned that free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker is taking his 72 00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: talents to the back to back champs, not Dodgers, on 73 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: a four year, two hundred and forty million dollars deal. 74 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: Of course, nothing the Dodgers do is what it seems 75 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: At Hollywood, everything is smoking mirrors. The top free agent 76 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: who was struggling to find a job gets a contract 77 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. It contains a bunch of opt outs 78 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: and loop the loops and slides and transfer portal buttons 79 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: to press and all that stuff. In the meantime, at 80 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: least for the short term. He will get first two 81 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: years sixty million dollars per year, slightly more than you 82 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: and I make sixty million per year for Kyle Tucker. Okay, 83 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss 84 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: the question why why did free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker 85 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: agree to go to the Dodgers. He had the Mets interested, 86 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, there were several other teams that were 87 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: said to be interest, including the Mystery team. So my 88 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I've got political caucus, Will Ferrell and 89 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: patient zero, and we will combine all of these things 90 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some pastrami fries 91 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: is what we're gonna make. It'll sound pretty good. Why 92 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: not little cheese pastrami, some onions. Put that all together, 93 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: Boom done, and of course the potato. So a listen, 94 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: why did Kyle Tucker go to the Dodgers? This is simple. 95 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: You've got geography, gravity, and greed and little side of glamour, 96 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: little side of glamour. He doesn't sell tickets. No one's 97 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: going out to watch Kyle Tucker play baseball, which is 98 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: all the more amazing that he was able to finagle 99 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year out of the Dodgers. Now 100 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: it's clear, based on a minutes long Mallard deliberation, that 101 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: one thing I know, Kyle Tucker did not want to 102 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: make a run for the border. That he had the 103 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: Blue Jays all hot and heavy and horny playing footsie 104 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: with him, and Toronto tried to woo him. There was 105 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: some chatter of a ten year marriage proposal, ten years, 106 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: ten years, and Tucker said, I don't want poutine with 107 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: my payroll. Hard pass, hard pass. So it became dueling pillows, 108 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: not pianos, dueling pillars. Remember that the pillow offer is 109 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: the short term contract that let's you go back to 110 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: market if you don't get the offer you want. So 111 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: it's clear that Tucker didn't get what he wanted, which 112 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: seems crazy to say when the man's going to be 113 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: making sixty million dollars a year average annual value. But 114 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: still he wanted the forever deal. I didn't get it. 115 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: So we had a couple of pillow offers, the Mets 116 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers. So you had the temper Pedic cloud 117 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: versus Blue Harmony pillow, and Tucker picked Blue Harmony Southern 118 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: California sixty millions a year. That's a lot of harmony 119 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: for sixty million dollars a year. Kyle Tucker joins the 120 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: Blue Crew political caucus. And the thing about this is, 121 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: it's always odd to me when guys do this, like 122 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 1: he could have been the man. You can't be the man. 123 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: If you're the Dodger guy, you're not gonna be the man. 124 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: This is giving vibes of when Kevin Durant went to 125 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: join the Golden State Warriors. I don't think Tucker's as 126 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: good as Durant, but anyway, now we're close. But anyway, 127 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, he joined the Big Blue, the Big Blue 128 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: political caucus, and he chose to be the vice president, 129 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: the running mate instead of the president. So now he 130 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: will be the running mate for Sho Hail Tani. And 131 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: that makes Tucker, what fourth in the pecking order. Usually 132 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: the vice president his second, but he's fourth in the 133 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: pecking order at Chevezravin behind the obviously Tani's at the 134 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: very top. He's he's like secretariat. And then you got 135 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and then after that Kyle Tucker 136 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: with a wink and a nod to the fresh Prince 137 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: of bel Air there will Smith. But I don't love 138 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: the player. I don't I don't love the player. I've 139 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: said that. I'm not gonna all of a sudden change 140 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: my tune because he's with the Dodge. I hope he 141 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: does well. I hope he plays well for the Dodgers. 142 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: I just I wouldn't have made this move. But it's 143 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: you know, they got so much money. They don't know 144 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: what they all. They keep jacking up the prices at 145 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium on everything. They got the money from Japan. 146 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: They don't know what to do with all the money. 147 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: And most of the players they're paying it's all deferred 148 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: money anyway, so it's a money making operation. It's even 149 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: more impressive than what the Yankees said back in the 150 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: day with Steinbrenner when they had the old Man. Not 151 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: the kids who don't even try, but the old man. 152 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: And you talk about an upgrade. Though, Dodgers had that 153 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: stiff Michael Confordo in the outfield who batted under two 154 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: hundred and sucked for about one hundred games. There were 155 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: a few games he played well, most of the time 156 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: was terrible. And now they have Tucker coming in there. 157 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: And they think he's gonna be hitting missiles. He's got 158 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: no not no pressure, but a lot less pressure because 159 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: again he's not the man. He's way down on the list, 160 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: and a chance to win more championships. And there's a 161 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: bunch of opt outs which are like gold bars up 162 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: the wazoo. And you didn't join the Dogs to be 163 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: the guy because you can't be the guy, but you 164 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: join them to be a guy who wins. And there's 165 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: no reason I think the Dodgers aren't gonna be right 166 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: back in the World Series. Again, there's nobody who can 167 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: match them talent wise in the National League. Of course, 168 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: this roster will be tattered to bits by the time 169 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: we get to the All Star break, so everyone gets hurt. 170 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: That's what happens now page two. So the question for 171 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: page two, what do you like and what do you 172 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: dislike about the big free agent, the number one free 173 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: agent on the Kyle Tucker taking his talents to the Dodgers. 174 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: So let's start. I'll be Benny bright Side to start here. 175 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: It is a supersized combo meal deal. This is what 176 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: the nerds love. They love it. They get all aroused 177 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: when they see the power and the speed, the combo meal, 178 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: thirty home run power. He'll steal a bunch of bases. 179 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: He's a professional pickpocket. I guess the Dodgers is gonna 180 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: have to run more and he does it. He's pit clean, 181 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: pretty smooth operator. Smooth operator out there, and he's had 182 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: a good success rate stealing bases and all that. And 183 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: he's not a guy that strikes out a ton, which 184 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: is rare in baseball these days. He's he's not some 185 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: kind of free swinging carnival act which like Max Munsei 186 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: or somebody like that. He's got some plate discipline. He 187 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: kind of fits that kind of he does fit the 188 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: Dodger way, just kind of wait you out and all that, 189 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: low strikeouts, high walks left handed that he's. The other 190 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: thing I like is he's twenty nine, so he's in 191 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: the sweet spot of his athletic prime. You're buying it's 192 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: like going to tire rack and buying fresh tires. They're 193 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: not going out to some chop shop somewhere and buying retreads. 194 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: And now to be Betty Buzzkill, because why not. He 195 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: does have astro DNA, which makes me want to puke 196 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: in my mouth. It does. However, he was not the 197 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: poster boy for the cheating Astros in twenty seventeen. In fact, 198 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: he didn't even play for the Astros in twenty seventeen. 199 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: So I want nobody from the twenty seventeen Astros of 200 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: any prominence on the Dodgers. Ever, he wasn't on that 201 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen cheating team that was allowed to get away 202 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: with it because the sport of baseball has no leadership. 203 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: They have a spineless, gutless commissioner. So he wasn't on 204 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: that twenty seventeen The other thing that I think is 205 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: hilarious to me, as I did some monologues if you 206 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: listened every night during the summer in previous episodes of 207 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: the show summer of twenty twenty five, and the story 208 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: was when Kyle Tucker was playing for Tree in Chicago's 209 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: Cubs and Yapheemi and all those guys in Eugene, the 210 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: story was that Kyle Tucker was going to get six 211 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in free agency. Of course, it was 212 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: likely that story was leaked by I don't know, Scott Boris, 213 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: his agent, and then he went out and Kyle Tucker 214 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: sucked at a time you cannot suck with the Cubbies 215 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: in the friendly confines there in the second half of 216 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: the season, and so now he's taking that very expensive 217 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: Egyptian pillow with the Dodgers. And the reason not only 218 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: did he struggle, but the other other thing I don't 219 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: really care for is humpty dumpty, and you sign players 220 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: nobody else has its take. By the way, you sign 221 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: players who get hurt, they keep getting hurt. You can't 222 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: be surprised, like you guys should be on the injury 223 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: this or DL whatever it is. He's had the shin problem, 224 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: a hand issue, the calf, he's been banged up like 225 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: a circus cannon ball before they added the safety net 226 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: back in the day. And so defensively, supposedly, he's on 227 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: the decline. He used to be a premium level defensive 228 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: player with the leather. Now it's more like vinyl, and 229 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: so he's serviceable, it's not as good, you know, day 230 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: to day. The other thing about this is he is 231 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: a what I call a Will Ferrell type of player 232 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: from old school that remember that old movie Old School there, 233 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: that's it. I can't believe it's an old movie now, 234 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: but it is. But Will Ferrell, that classic line, we're 235 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: going streaking. Yeah, so he's he's hot for a month 236 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: and invisible and uh yeah, there it is right there. 237 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: And so they say he's a Swiss Army knife, which 238 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: means he's not really great in any one area, but 239 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: he'll he'll be pretty good in all areas. Just don't 240 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: ask him to come out and be a chainsaw, because 241 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: that's not going to be what he does. There, high 242 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: floor kind of the warranty is not that great. And 243 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: so you enjoy the ride, you might want to keep 244 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: the receipt. You might want to file that away and 245 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: just make sure you have at least a photo of 246 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: it on your phone or something like that. Now the 247 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: last word here. This happens every year. Now, it's a tradition. 248 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: Like the swallows returning to Capistrano. The Dodgers make a 249 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: big move in free agency. They add one of the 250 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: top players on the market, if not the top player 251 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: in the market. And this leads to what do you 252 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: know what? Yeah, okay, you know, primal scream. Primal scream 253 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: around baseball. It's not fair. Oh my god, we need 254 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: a salarycap. The Dodger trying to win and my team's 255 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: not trying to win, and I don't like that, but 256 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: your cry babies, all right. So a question, do you 257 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: have any advice for Major League Baseball fans suffering from 258 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: what I call the blue flu over Kyle Tucker landing 259 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: in La La Land. So I look at the immediate 260 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: reaction on the socials and the drive by sports media, 261 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: who are in total meltdown, and I laugh, I laugh, 262 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: I laugh, I laugh. And so for twenty twenty six, 263 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker is patient zero. He is the one that 264 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: is spreading the latest wave of the blue flu, very contagious. 265 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: If you're a fan of the Pirates or the Reds 266 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: or the Athletics or the Diamondbacks or the Mariners or 267 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: one of those teams and it's about to become a 268 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: full blown pandemic against you might want to go out 269 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and buy some bottled water and some toilet paper, because 270 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: that's what we do in pandemics. I learned that in 271 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, way back in the day. So this is 272 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: a classic case of Dodger derangement syndrome. DDS. You think 273 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: it's unfair, Oh my god, it's a yeah. Hey, life's 274 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: unfair that the Dodgers are not just a team. They 275 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: are the death star with a better dental plan is 276 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: what they are. And you dopes that are sobbing right, 277 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: Oh it's so bad. Oh my god, this sacty like gay. 278 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: Give me a freaking break, you'd losers. Okay, The reality 279 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: for those of you with a functioning brain is that 280 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are at the very top of the baseball pyramid. 281 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: We know that everything goes through They are the gold standard. 282 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: And while the rest of the league plays tidley wings, 283 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: the boys a blue every year are big game hunting, 284 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: and they're getting shamed for it. Imagine a business where 285 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: you try to win and other people look down upon 286 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: you for doing that. It's not right. Give us a chance? 287 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: Why why? And I don't get listen, I would want 288 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: to work for somebody that overpays their employees. Would do 289 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: you like your boss to low ball you? I don't. 290 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: When my boss is low balling, I get upset. Do 291 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: you do you like when they lowball you? I don't. 292 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: I want to work for a company that pays their employees' 293 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: top dollar. That's what I want. Now, you're a loser 294 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: and you want to work for somebody that is a tightwad. 295 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: That's on you that's on you. And hey, look, if 296 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: you look at the evidence here, it's working. The twenty 297 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: twenty five World Series between the Dodgers and the Blues 298 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: and I love being I wan on the radio all 299 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: over Canada right now. We got great listenership and big 300 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: cities all over from Vancouver all the way across. 301 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 302 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big fan, right love. Our friends have 303 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in Canada and they listen to the show. However, normally, 304 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: when a Canadian team is in a championship in American sports, 305 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't get ratings. The World Series of twenty twenty 306 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: five between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays set new 307 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: records for viewership and ratings. So you think people tuned in, 308 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: I was like fifty something million people tune into Game 309 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: seven Dodgers and Jays to see the spirit of the 310 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: game from the Blue Jays. 311 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 3: No, people watched because they wanted to see the empire fall. 312 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: They wanted to see the Dodgers choke, and they almost did. 313 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 3: They almost did. Almost doesn't count. 314 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: And the other thing a lot of people don't understand, 315 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: I guess they're not really baseball fans is Baseball has 316 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: been a weak link sport, the weak link of baseball, 317 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: meaning that you can have five amazing players and then 318 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: you get the Game seven of the World Series. You're 319 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: a couple outs away from being eliminated. It's ninth inning, 320 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: and you got this scrub, thirty six year old stiff, 321 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: a two sixty career hitter, just the average baseball player, 322 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas, who man's up, puts big balls, bob pants on, 323 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: and goes out there and hits a dinger to tie 324 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: the game. The dagger. All right, the Dodger didn't win 325 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: the World Series. They couldn't have without a basically scrub 326 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: hitting a home run. And everyone's all up in arms, 327 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: and so come on, the just stop. It's I do, 328 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: and I do get a kick out of it. I 329 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: like the the reaction because it's kind of a it's 330 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: kind of amusing to me, the freak out factor.

Yeah, 407 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm older, so I was a Toys r Us kid 408 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: and we had it.

How much tougher 415 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: for the Yankees to get Cody Bellinger back now it's 416 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: out of hand. Then the twenty twenty seven no baseball 417 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: She's she can plain, well, yeah, it's not looking great. 418 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: It's although if you're a fan of caps and salary 419 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: caps and putting artificial restrictions on salary, then you should 420 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: be very happy because every move the Dodgers make gets 421 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: you a little closer to us salary cap. Because all 422 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: these these tightwad owners that don't want to spend any 423 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: money in Pittsburgh and Sacramento, Vegas, Oakland, wherever the hell 424 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: the A's are, and Tampa Bay, all these places.

Let's do it, and why not? Now? 428 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: I do have a fun fact. I want to dedicate 429 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: to Jill. Do we have the fun facts? Sound very important? Fun? 430 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: Always have the funess for Jill in Minnesota. 431 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 4: Fun fact. 432 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: So, Dodger outfielder Kyle Tucker, that's weird to say. Kyle 433 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: Tucker will be making more than fifty He's gonna make 434 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: fifty percent more than Yankees star Aaron Judge on a 435 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: on an average annual value. Kyle Tucker, it's gonna make 436 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: fifty percent more than Aaron Judge of the Yankees. Will 437 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: he get a new contract renegotiation? I'm gonna go know, Ryan, 438 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: and San Diego writes, and he says, I think very 439 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: highly of you. With that said, I give you a 440 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: zero out of ten on the monologue Why and then 441 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: he lists the three reasons. He says, Shohil Tani is 442 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: in Dodger Blue Artie Marino is managing the payroll like 443 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: we are the Florida Marlins or the Pirates. Well, I 444 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you know this, Ryan, you are the 445 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: Florida Marlins and the Pirates. In fact, you're worse than 446 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: the Florida Marlins. The Angels are worse. They have the 447 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: longest playoff drought in baseball. They're not even trying. The 448 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: only players would love to play for the Angels. You 449 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: get to live in like Newport Beach or Laguna Mike 450 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: Trout lives in Laguna Beach in Orange County. Beautiful weather, Right, 451 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: you don't have to deal with the La bullcrap like 452 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: the Dodger guys do with all the vagrants and the 453 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: terrible politicians in LA. It's a little different Orange County. 454 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: And and yet they still can't get anybody. And Ryan's 455 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,479 Speaker 1: upset too. He says, this week's all about the La Rams. 456 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: There you go, Well, we will. We have plenty of time. 457 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: It's a four hour radio show. Fat daddy who knows 458 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: a thing or two about bad angel baseball. He's in Sokew, 459 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: he says, great monologue as always, Big Ben. Kyle Tuck, 460 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: that guy's damaged goods. Scott Mooreris stole money again from 461 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Higher ticket prices, Frank McCourt Moore parking fees 462 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: for him, a common Dodger fan is priced out. Again, 463 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: only aristo aristocrats can afford. Well, that's not really the 464 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: thing in baseball, but they they certainly gouge you every 465 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: chance they get at Dodger Stadium. It's not fan friendly, 466 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: that's for sure. They don't even pretend like that. He 467 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: used to brag about that years ago, million years ago. Oh, 468 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, the greatest deal in town and all that 469 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: bring the whole family, you know, for whatever I've in 470 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: the terrible He seems to think that Kyle Tucker played 471 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: for the twenty seventeen cheating Astros. He did not. I 472 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: know you're disappointed by that. Fergdog says, I'm guessing Kyle 473 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: Tucker's deferred money is one million dollars. He says, late 474 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: night drug tests I'm glad the Dodgers aren't in the 475 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: American League, so the Royals won't face them in October 476 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: until the World Series. I keep telling myself that it 477 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: has to come true, right, Yeah, you know, it's if 478 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: you make the playoffs, right, and the Dodgers is gonna 479 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: win the Nation League West. But if you like the 480 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: Giants or the Diamondbacks, when these other teams in the 481 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: division or anyone else in baseball, it's in a seven 482 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: game series. We've the Dodgers haven't exactly dominated every playoff run. 483 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: They haven't even with all these great players. So just 484 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: like chill out, it's it's everything will be okay. Neil 485 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: rights and he says problem with baseball is the owners, 486 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: not the Dodgers. He says.

You're talking about 635 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: I think you're talking about Eddie Rozario, not whoever. 636 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 4: I was at that. 637 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: I was at that NLCS, so that was back when 638 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: I was in the good graces there and they he 639 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: that was the greatest performance. I've see you at a 640 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: baseball player. 641 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, the Oscar Wier song was wasn't 642 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 2: this thing? Because everybody wants to be an Oscar Meyer 643 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 2: ween or that was the end of it. I don't 644 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 2: remember the beginning of it. 645 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:21,399 Speaker 1: But I really want to be bad. 646 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, want to I mean. 647 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 1: I would love you everybody. 648 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 6: Have a great night. 649 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 2: Thank you, Ben, a great night. 650 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: Go away, Dave, thank you far out Dave. Right there 651 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: there he is, man. 652 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 7: That was a great segment in. 653 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: His head, the Toys r Us Kids song. And he 654 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: knew the Oscar Mayer most of it. He knew most 655 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: of the Oscar Mayer. Oh yeah, all right. So the 656 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 1: layaway planning for the Dodgers, we are told Kyle Tucker 657 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars deferred money for Kyle Tucker thirty million 658 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: dollars deferred money. That means, if the math is accurate, here, 659 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: what we're being told the Dodgers current projected tax payroll 660 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six is four hundred and thirteen million dollars. 661 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,959 Speaker 1: That is projected to be ninety six million dollars more 662 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: than the Mets. And that is also going to be 663 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirteen million dollars more than the Marlins, 664 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: who are currently at the very bottom.
