1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, everybody,

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire, Wednesday, October. I am

3
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: live from the City of Champions, Los Angeles. The Dodgers

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: deliver a pretty damn good and controversial and holy cow,

5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: the postgame celebration the World Series was excellent. Okay, the

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: game will get to in a second. But the biggest

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: piece of news that came out after the Dodgers won

8
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: the World Series they're celebrating, the news breaks that Justin Turner,

9
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: starting third baseman, had to get pulled from the game.

10
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: I believe it was in the sixth inning for a

11
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: positive COVID test. Now, let me remind you, and I

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: know we're gonna celebrate the Dodgers World Series, folks, they're

13
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: in a bubble. Justin Turner tested positive. According to one

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: of the reports is initially his test was inconclusive, so

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: he had to test again to uh Tuesday, the day

16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: of Game six. It just arrived when they said, hey,

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: the league has to pull him from the World Series.

18
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: Justin Turner pulled from the game. They didn't announce it

19
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: at the time, and what a bullet MLB. The Dodgers

20
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: at baseball. Oh my gosh, can you imagine if Justin

21
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Turner tested positive, how many other players on that roster

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: had to test positive? I mean, if this has gone

23
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: to Game seven, obviously Turner would have not been there,

24
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: and who knows who else would have not been available?

25
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: What would a Baseball I had to do postpone the

26
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: World Series? And what stinks about this? And it is

27
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna overshadow? Um. What I think is the biggest story

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: obviously the Dodgers winning the World Series first time since

29
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: eight l a championship city now in the Lakers won

30
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: the title and the Dodgers in the Lakers and Dodgers

31
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: both win titles in bubbles, not in Los Angeles, uh

32
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and in the month of October. Pretty spectacular. But and

33
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, Listen, there's a lot of ways you

34
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: can go with the COVID and the Dodgers. But I

35
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: think if the COVID stuff did not pop late Tuesday night,

36
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: I think the biggest story obviously would have been how

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: analytics has ruined Major League Baseball and the decision to

38
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: pull Blake Snell from UH for I mean, he was

39
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: pitching a masterpiece, virtually unhitable, completely dominant. I mean he's

40
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: throwing a gem out there by any standard. I mean, yeah,

41
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: he could have been having a no hit or fine.

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: And he gives up a hit to start the sixth

43
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: and then he has to go to the top of

44
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: the order, and that's when we get a little bit funky.

45
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be debated hotly for a couple

46
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: of days. Here Kevin Cash, the manager of the Rays, decides, oh,

47
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna pull Blake's snell. And you

48
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: could see the look. Fox zoomed in on Blake's snell.

49
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: He saw the manager Cash coming out, and he muttered

50
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: a couple of bad words. He was very unhappy. And

51
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: then the debate began, like, what the hell are you doing?

52
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Snell throwing a masterpiece. I believe he had thrown sixty

53
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: nine pitches through five innings, one hit allowed, that he

54
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: allowed a single in the sixth, nine strikeouts. I mean,

55
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: he was dealing and obviously unhappy after the game, venting

56
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: that he's not gonna be able to get over this

57
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. I don't think race fans will.

58
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: So here's what the analytics say. And I know I

59
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: opened with with a heavy take that analytics have ruined baseball.

60
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: And this is what happened. The analytics said that Blake

61
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: snell career e r a first time through the order

62
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: two point two six, second time through the order three

63
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: point five four, third time four point nine seven. So

64
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: as soon as he gave up that single to the

65
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: ninth batter, Kevin Cash looked at the analytics said, man,

66
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: we got a great bullpen. I'm pulling him. You're leading

67
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: one nothing, and and this is why analytics has killed baseball. Like,

68
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: on no level can a computer be watching the game

69
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: have a feel for the game. The computer can't tell

70
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: you Mookie Betts was like two ft late on a

71
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: on a strikeout earlier in the game. He can't the

72
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: computer can't do that. And the analytics said, well, you

73
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: know what, he could get lit up this time through

74
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: the order. We gotta pull him. And there are actually

75
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: people trying to defend this. The analytics community is under

76
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: siege right now because they think this is what you

77
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: have to do. And and guys, on some level, trust me,

78
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: I get it. Analytics are paramount to building teams, to

79
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: getting teams through that laborious hundred sixty two game season,

80
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: or in the case of this season, the sixty game bubble,

81
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: that's sprint to the playoffs. Analytics were were super important

82
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: and I have a massive impact on the sport and

83
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: they're here to stay. Nobody's saying get rid of analytics.

84
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: That's not what anybody's saying. Analytics helped make you smarter,

85
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: more efficient. I mean, listen, when you're building a team

86
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: in any sport, major League Baseball and b A, NFL,

87
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: analytics matter. There's no doubt about that. I mean, I

88
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: will say on a personal level, I have dipped into

89
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: analytics when it comes to gambling on the NFL more

90
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: than I ever have before, and the results don't lie.

91
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: I've had a tremendous run. And last year was okay.

92
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: Two years ago was great when I started the analyst,

93
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: last year was okay, and this year has been phenomenal.

94
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Analytics help you in every aspect, but obviously there is

95
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: ultimately a human decision like do we let him go

96
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: through the order of the third time? And I think

97
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: the big pushback here is the guy they brought in.

98
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: Anderson has been shelled in this postseason. He's been awful.

99
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: The numbers for him through this postseason Okay, his last

100
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: ten innings, fourteen hits, four walks, eight earned runs. How

101
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: can you pull Blake Snell, who's having a phenomenal performance

102
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: in a big spot, getting ready to get you set

103
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: up for Game seven? And I gotta be honest, I'm

104
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: watching it with the kids. We've finished dinner, and it

105
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: didn't look good. It did not look good for the Dodgers.

106
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Snell had him just I mean, they were clueless,

107
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: and then to pull him was just, oh my gosh,

108
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers boom boom boom. Right back in the game,

109
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: Anderson was pretty terrible. Uncorks of wild pitch to tie it,

110
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: then gives up an infield hit and the kids slid

111
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: into home bait home play and it was to one

112
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers and they didn't really look back again. You can't

113
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: measure whether or not a team is shook, but you

114
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: could see how deflated the Rays were. The body language

115
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: A sorry, body language experts were just like, oh, that

116
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: team looks deflated. That they're they're they're in trouble. Listen.

117
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: The analytics certainly matter, but I'm sorry, when you're watching that,

118
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can make that decision to

119
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: pull your start. Now the one instance, I'm out there

120
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: on social media during the game saying, well, give me

121
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: instances historically in the postseason where this has not worked,

122
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: And of course everybody quickly pointing to Matt Harvey in

123
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: the World Series saying, don't pull me. I want to

124
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: throw a complete game, and of course it blew up

125
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: in his face. But a complete game is different than

126
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: the sixth inning, when you're barely seventy pitches into a

127
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: masterful performance. I listen. I mean, I don't know how

128
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: the Rays are going to get over this in the interim.

129
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: This is a deep team, is a loaded roster. They're

130
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: obviously going to be back. But if you're the Dodgers,

131
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: boy you've got to think, holy cow, how lucky do

132
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: we get. Everybody's making the jokes about how the manager

133
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: should be the m v P of the World Series,

134
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: and boy, they're lucky this COVID thing. I mean, Justin

135
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: Turner obviously would not have played Game seven, and who

136
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: knows who else would have tested positive tomorrow and been

137
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: unable to go. You might have to push the World

138
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Series back ten days. I don't know, but the doctors

139
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: are gonna take it, just like the Lakers took it,

140
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: and you've got people out there saying, oh, it doesn't count,

141
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: it's an asterisk. I don't want to hear it. I

142
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: don't it's garbage. The World Series was phenomenal, huge, huge

143
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: win for Fox. Obviously I would have liked the Game seven.

144
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: Everybody would have liked the Game seven, except if you're

145
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: a Dodgers fan. Nobody needs that sweat given this team's history.

146
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: But I am also very happy to report that the

147
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw postseason narrative is officially dead. We could put

148
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: to rest. It's over monkey office back two wins in

149
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: the World Series. You know, he was up in the

150
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: pen in Game six. I don't think they would have

151
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: thrown it, probably keeping him loose getting I'm ready for

152
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: seven if he needed to go. But I'm just happy

153
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: for Clayton Kershaw. You can't say anything to him, oh

154
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: you sucked in two thousand nine in the playoffs and seventeen.

155
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: Who cares, he's got a ring. It's over. The narratives done.

156
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is a World Series champion, and I'm pretty

157
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: happy for all the Dodgers fans out there, and made

158
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: my kids stay up. Obviously, the fireworks were falling out

159
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: here in l A. It was a big party, and

160
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: I think Lebron is trying to orchestrate some sort of parade,

161
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: some dual parade. Obviously it will be a super spreader

162
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: event out here in Los Angeles, but just an awesome game.

163
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't know, Rob G. You are a

164
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: long time Dodgers fan. You're young enough that I don't

165
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: think you remember. I obviously didn't know you when you

166
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: were nine in nine. Um, but before before I let

167
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: you have the Florida to you know, get all excited

168
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: about the Dodgers. I do want to give some credit

169
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: to Joe Buck, who is the nicest guy. Um. You know,

170
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: I've been a Fox now FS one four Jesus almost,

171
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, four and a half years. Joe Buck has

172
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: always been super nice anytime I see him. You know,

173
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: sometimes you forget jeez. Joe Buck's calling the World Series

174
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is one of the biggest announcers, and

175
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: you see him, He's like, oh, what's up, man, how

176
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: are you? You know? I think my kids were with

177
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: me one time in the building and they saw him

178
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh hi, and he just he

179
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: always had how you kids doing? Joe Bucks a great guy.

180
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: He made a phenomenal point on the analytics later in

181
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: the game. You know, he said that we've gotten to

182
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: the point with analytics where they're making you look for

183
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: a reason to pull a picture rather than to keep

184
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: him in the game. And I thought that was just

185
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: a great point by Joe Buck, and he's spot on.

186
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the analytics are there, and the baseball managers

187
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: are falling victim to them far too much. We get it,

188
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: you need to use analytics to build a team and

189
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: to get to the postseason. But you know, one game situation,

190
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: seventy pitches and you're pulling your race because the numbers

191
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: say he could struggle third time through the order. I

192
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I would not have done it, all right,

193
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Rob g longtime Dodgers staying gonna be a big week

194
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: for you. How are you celebrating? While? Uh, last night

195
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: was tough to celebrate because I do have a one

196
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: year old daughter and I have a a dog at home.

197
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: So the fireworks going deep into the night and early

198
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: this morning made it a rough night, to say the least.

199
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: In the Garath household, I told you that when things

200
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: were popping off with the Lakers that if the Dodges

201
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: end up winning, it was gonna be a war zone.

202
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm worried about driving into the studio today. I think

203
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: that the streets of l A maybe you know, missing

204
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: at some point, might be like little pieces of the

205
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 1: freeway just blown off because of all the fireworks. But

206
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: it's huge, man, It's there were people I'm in a

207
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: group chat with some of the guys at at Fox

208
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and they're dudes who are literally crying, grown

209
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: men because you know, they've they've waited their whole lives

210
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: for this. You know, I was two months old when

211
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: they won their last two months and so you know,

212
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: for for them to come through the way they did,

213
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: and it's it's a big weight off the shoulders collectively

214
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: in the city of Los Angeles is great. Yeah. I

215
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: gotta add one note that when I was going through

216
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: the notes of the game, so and and again, I'm

217
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: not crushing this guy, Kevin Cash, the manager of the

218
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: of the race. But the first time through the order,

219
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: Blake Snell struck out Mookie Bets, Seeger and Turner. The

220
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: second time through the order, you want to take a

221
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: guess what happened. Blake Snell struck out Mookie Seeger and Turner,

222
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: and I just it's frustrating that they pulled him. I

223
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: gotta say, like, listen, I mean, I am a Dodger fan.

224
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm happy that had happened and they won the World Series.

225
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: But you gotta feel for Blake Snell. This is the

226
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: same dude who goes on Twitch all the time and

227
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: it's kind of popping off about whatever. And I mean,

228
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: I can't fathom that in any other sport, not giving

229
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: your best picture an opportunity in the biggest spot of

230
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: his career to keep going. Like there's just there's no

231
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: equivalent in the NFL. I mean, on no level as

232
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: your kicker ever, your best player. Um, I guess you

233
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: could argue Russell Wilson instead of handing off to Marshawn

234
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: Lynch throwing the interception at the gold line against the Patriots,

235
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: I suppose, But I I mean, that's the closest thing

236
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: I can think of in the NBA. You know, there

237
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: really isn't anything on that level. Like you gotta feel

238
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: for Blake Snell. Oh yeah, I mean you knew it

239
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: was bad when to a man, every single person on

240
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: that bron cast, Joe Buck, John Smoltz, Tom Verducci. Ye know,

241
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: this one could have come back to bite them. You know,

242
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: the analytics say this, this and that, but they don't

243
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: take into account the human element of sports. And and

244
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the issues that the Dodgers had

245
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: a few years ago is there was a game against

246
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: the Red Sox where they pulled all of their big

247
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: home run hitters because the analytics said that they, uh,

248
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: don't pitch the right handers don't pitch well in against

249
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: this picture. So they pulled them all. And um, I

250
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: was shocked. I was relieved that they did it because

251
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: Blake's now was dealing and even you saw a little

252
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: bit in the in the in the post game, I

253
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: was anxious to see how the raised players were going

254
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: to handle it, you know, because I'm sure they felt

255
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: exactly how most of sports fans felt, like, you know, you,

256
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Cash cost them the game. Uh, kier Meyer said

257
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: in his zoom call with the with the media, I

258
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: don't care what the numbers say. That was Blake's game.

259
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: That might have been the best I've ever seen him.

260
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: That was incredible. So and and just to bring it

261
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: again full strocle, you talked about analytics and sports. This

262
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: is not the first time that analytics has quote unquote

263
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: cost a team a championship or shot at the championship.

264
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: The Houston Rockets against the Golden State Warriors in Game

265
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: seven missed twenty seven straight three pointers because analytics say

266
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: it's better for you to shoot a three than to

267
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: shoot an open mid range jump shop. In this instance,

268
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: analytics say Blake Snell doesn't do well through the third

269
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: time through the order, but the eye test is telling

270
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: you they can't touch him. They're nowhere near him the

271
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: third the Dodgers three best hitters, like you mentioned six

272
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: straight strikeouts, there was a time in the game before

273
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: that last hit to Austin Barnes where he only had

274
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: one ball leave the infield. So for all of these

275
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: pen so pushers in sports and all these guys who

276
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: think that because the numbers say this and the numbers

277
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: say that, you get the hell out of here. Do like,

278
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: you don't understand how sports work. You don't understand why

279
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: in certain situations certain guys play better than what they

280
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: normally do. Yeah, sports has emotion and feel that that

281
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: stuff exists. This isn't blackjack where you're sitting at a

282
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: table looking at the numbers and playing the chart for blackjack.

283
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Oh the dealer has this, or you've gotta hit, or

284
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: you've gotta uh, you know, stay like that. That's not

285
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: that what this is. It's just sports is different, and

286
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: it sucks for Snell. Man, he's gotta be Can you

287
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: imagine how piste off he would be. I mean, think

288
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: about it. If they leave in Snell and he gets

289
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: touched up, so you pull up. Nobody's gonna say, oh,

290
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: you should have pulled Snell. No, he was out a

291
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: great game. You don't pull him in the middle of

292
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: a great game. And I'm real curious what would the

293
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: analytics say if Snell had a no hitter going to

294
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: the top of the lineup again, would they have pulled him.

295
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that would have. So what does it

296
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: matter if he'd barely gotten any balls out of the

297
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: infield and you're automatically gonna pull him. It's an overreaction.

298
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: And listen, I've been saying this for a while. Analytics

299
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: have hurt baseball more than any other sport. Now, analytics

300
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: and baseball has been happening far longer, but essentially I

301
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: think it was it two years ago. MLB was basically

302
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: reduced to home runners strikeout. There was like nobody's stealing bases.

303
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: It was just hacking away at the plate and it

304
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: had gotten kind of formulaic and it was really hurting.

305
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: Was a tough watch. I thought the World Series was

306
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: an amazing watch this year. I mean, you know, the

307
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: team there were the two best teams in baseball, no

308
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: doubt in the shortened season. UM, but the the analytics

309
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: can hurt. And listen, I've heard the people getting upset

310
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: about the NBA and now I'm sick of watching just

311
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: three pointers in layoups man, listen to the Houston Rockets

312
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: are a tough damn watch. I will put Lebron in

313
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: that category. I won't put my Warriors in that category.

314
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: Loved watching the Warriors. UM. And the NFL is I

315
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: don't know if the I think the NFL is the

316
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: slowest to adapt. So analytics matters in the NFL, but

317
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: not on the level where you're gonna ever have something like, hey,

318
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: we gotta pull our starter. He's about to hit the

319
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: top of the lineup for the third time. UM. It's

320
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: just absolutely bizarre and I wonder, you know, listen, analytics

321
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: in baseball. Going back to Moneyball, which by the way,

322
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: is a great movie. Brad pitt Um Jonah how much

323
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: spacing on his last name, Jonah Hill, Jonah Hill. Amazing actor.

324
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: He listen, he's better in super Bad, Um, super Bad

325
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: so amazing. He's better and super Bad than he is Moneyball.

326
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: But he's great in Moneyball. And I like that movie

327
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: a lot. But ultimately the team and Moneyball in that movie,

328
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: the A's could never breakthrough. And you know, the Rays,

329
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: I think they were what the third lowest payroll in

330
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: the league, second or third lowest, They were near the bottom. Obviously,

331
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are near the top, big market team, and

332
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: you know you got to rely on the analytist to

333
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: get there. And I guess, listen, rob G, there's gonna

334
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: be people who listen to this and get so upset

335
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: at me and yelled and say, oh you got you

336
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: just have to. I don't. You can't convince me on

337
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: any level that that was the right move. The computer

338
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: that's staring at you saying pol Blakes now after uh

339
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: seventy pitches or whatever, um, because he may struggle this

340
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: time through the lineup. You know, watching that game, I

341
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: don't I'm really curious once everybody gets you know, all

342
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: the numbers are crunched here, if people will say, you

343
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: know what, it was the wrong decision, because in my

344
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: opinion of what wrong decision, awful decision and analytics, you know,

345
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: they're having a big impact on Major League Baseball. It's sad, no,

346
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: you know what you say to those nerves who are

347
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, it was the right call because this, this,

348
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: and that, you tell them. You know that movie Moneyball

349
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: that you just reference with Brad Pitt and how Billy Bean,

350
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, had the lowest gay role and they made

351
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: a movie about him. You know what the big climax

352
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: of that movie was it and then winning the World Series.

353
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't then winning a pennant. It was then winning

354
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: twenty games straight in a regular season. You know why,

355
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: because Billy Bean and the moneyball as only won two

356
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: playoffs series total in thirty years. The analytics and the

357
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: moneyball approach and not just getta you know, you're focusing

358
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: on baseball, but in sports in general, does not work.

359
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: You're you're gonna win a lot of games in the

360
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: regular season because the law of average of work itself out.

361
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: But when you get to the playoffs, and you get

362
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: to the postseason. In every single major American sport, the

363
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: human element comes into play. There's a reason why everyone

364
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: likes to bring up the Golden State Warriors. In basketball,

365
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: they shoot a lot of threes. That's you know analytics. No,

366
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: they also led the league in mid range jump shots.

367
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: That's number one. The last the Lakers and the Raptors,

368
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: the last two UH champions. Neither one of them, well,

369
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: the Raptors Choi Leonard mid range monster. The Lakers were

370
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: one of the worst three point shooting teams in the league.

371
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: So what does that tell you about what is going

372
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: on in analytics? Even in baseball, a lot of people

373
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: point to the Boston Red Sox when they broke through

374
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: it like, oh, well, yeah, they had the moneyball approach

375
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: the way they were playing. They also had the highest

376
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: payroll in baseball the year that they wanted. You have

377
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: to combine the two things and for the for the raise.

378
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers did this too a few years ago,

379
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, for them to strictly rely on what

380
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: a computer or a statistician or some dude who has

381
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: never played competitive sports at that level to dictate what

382
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna do is asinini. You deserve to lose if

383
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: that's the way you're gonna go about it in the postseason. Yeah,

384
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know, Justin Turner, you gotta feel

385
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: for him. Just to wrap up on the COVID situation

386
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: with Turner, Um, this was a guy who couldn't celebrate

387
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: with his teammates, initially rob g and then eventually they

388
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: let him go on the field. Um, My guess is

389
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: he will have some kind of monster celebration year in

390
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: a week or whatever when he gets out of quarantine. Um,

391
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: but he said he felt no symptoms at all. And UM,

392
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's just gotta be tough when your whole

393
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: teams out there, that'd be just A Turner is one

394
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: of the most popular players on that team. Um, I

395
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: know among the young kids, they all love just A Turner.

396
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: Had some of my my son's buddies dressed up as

397
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: Turner for Halloween. By the way, Halloween is happening this year, people,

398
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: it is. I don't care about the Runa. It's happening.

399
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I care about the Runa, but Halloween should happen,

400
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: We'll save that for later in the week. Um, and

401
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit for just a turner, but

402
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: he seems to be in good spirits. And man, it's

403
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: it's a big party out here in l A. Uh.

404
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: Whoof what in October? Huh? What's gonna happen next? Are

405
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: the Rams or the Are the Chargers gonna sneak out

406
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: of the playoffs? The Ram's gonna go to the super

407
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: Bowl and win? At this time? Um, yeah, that was

408
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: that was thrilling. This has been rob g one of

409
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: those what a time to be alive moments. I get

410
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: a podcast in the middle of a pandemic, when you

411
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: know are tough to come by. I get a daily

412
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: podcast and I happen to be living in l A.

413
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: And the Lakers happen to make a run to the title,

414
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: and then the Dodgers, who were down three one to

415
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: the Braves, we might forget that climb out of that

416
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: hole and win a world series. It's just it has

417
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: been a wild ride. And yeah, I guess we'll wrap

418
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: up on that quick reminder to leave your five star

419
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: comment and funny witty review for a shot at a

420
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: hundred dollars that I'll venmo you will pick the three

421
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: big winners this week, and we have a very interesting

422
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: guest coming up, um touching on a sport we haven't

423
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: really done much with lately, which is an obvious giveaway,

424
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: and obviously we'll get back heavily two the National Football

425
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: League on Thursday's podcast. I'm trying to open a big

426
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: guest for Friday. We'll see. I think he's duck in

427
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: me or ghosting me, or um, he just hasn't gotten

428
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: back to me yet. But we've got some stuff in

429
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: the hopper, rob G, you know what do you plan

430
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: on doing today? Skipping work and just you know, going

431
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: to some kind of fake parade in downtown l Ah.

432
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: You know what I plan on doing. I plan on

433
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: having to babysit my one year old daughter. I plan

434
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: on having to keep my dog locked in the bedroom

435
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: because the fireworks are still going on as we are

436
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: recording this podcast. And I plan on hopefully eventually getting

437
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: into the studios at Fox Sports, but I'll have to

438
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: drive probably an hour and a half around because freeways

439
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: are as we speak, getting shut down in Los Angeles.

440
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: All right, rob G, you have you enjoy the celebration, hope,

441
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: the uh, the audience out there, Eddie Dodgers fans and

442
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: we are biggest market is in Los Angeles. You know

443
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: they can look at the analytics, the analytics of the podcast,

444
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: see what I did there? You like that? And by

445
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: the way, shout out to my buddy who texted me

446
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: how much he loved my Robert Kraft happy ending line.

447
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: Rob G did not hear it in real time, or

448
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't paying attention or didn't think it was funny,

449
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: but shout out to you for that the text. I

450
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: haven't replied yet, but thank you for catching that. And

451
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you guys tomorrow. M
