00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: former Dodgers GM. We'll talk some baseball. I thought there

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: was some snubs in the All Star voting Byron Buxton

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: should have been the starting center fielder, not Hobby Bias

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: for the Tigers. I'm not he had a great.

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: Quite back here. Why are you hating? No, come on,

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: really the starting center fielder. I'm asking that about that?

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: I think how he was even caught off guard. His

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: agent called him. He's like me, starting center fielder in

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: for the American League. I get it. So we'll talk

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: with net Collect he can't wait for that nicest guy

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 3: in the world.

47
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and shop talk. So we'll get to that

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: as well. But Kelvin Lebron James, you want to like

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: this kind of layer.

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So what's happening in all these kind of

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: stories that are NBA rumors that you know, will he

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: be traded and other teams interested in him and all

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: that kind of yep. So of course he opted in

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: in that fifty two and a half million dollar player option.

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: And then you go back to the conversations his boy,

56
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: his agent Rich Paul saying, look, Lebron is you know,

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: he appreciate what the Lakers doing, but Lebron is gonna

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: win now win.

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 3: He's trying to win.

60
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: And then you go to a Dave MCMANNHIMU of ESPN said,

61
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: he said that he's here in the Dallas. I'm told

62
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: that they would only be interested in Lebron in a

63
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: buyout situation. And then it starts the conversations wants to

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, do you trade for him? Do you do

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers buy him out and let him go somewhere,

66
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: And so that's where these rumors starts to become. You know,

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: he's trying to win out. We said this yesterday even

68
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: with signing DeAndre Ayton for the couple of years that

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: didn't move that. I said, they went from a seven

70
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: seed to a six and a half seed.

71
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

72
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: This isn't a huge as they're comprised right now. That

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: wasn't a big jump, big leap. So the conversations becomes,

74
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: well what do the Lakers do? And east moment that

75
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: goes by, it's kind of a and they're not talking,

76
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: and you know, you start to play it around in

77
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: your head a little bit. Would they let Lebron go?

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Would they pay him out? And look, I believe this

79
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: new ownership, Rob, they're not doing that.

80
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: They're not.

81
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: They're not They're not gonna pay fifty two point six

82
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: million whatever buyout for Lebron to go away. I think

83
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: they value still what he brings from a notoriety standpoint,

84
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: I think they're still The hard thing about Lebron is

85
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: he's still an all NBA guy, Rob, He's still an

86
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: all NBA guys, So it's just letting him go for nothing,

87
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: or letting him go for trade for a couple of

88
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: guys who aren't that good. It becomes difficult. He has

89
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: made it a very hard thing to balance because he's

90
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: still better than ninety five percent of the guys and

91
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: question his impact. But go ahead, and that's fair. I'm

92
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: not even mad.

93
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: At that impact as far as winning.

94
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: When you look up and a guy nightly is getting

95
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: your twenty five, eight and eight, well, who the heck

96
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: is replacing that? But on the flip side, these teams realize, Rob,

97
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 1: this is an era where they got to be deep,

98
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: they have to be young, they have to have a

99
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: bunch of players for ain't it And.

100
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 4: It's the first time he's not it right, And we

101
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: saw it in the playoffs where everybody was banking on

102
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: who wouldn't take Lebron and Luca And guess.

103
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: What, Minnesota, simm we ain't taking it exactly. I think

104
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: he's at the first time in his life where he

105
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: has to look in the mirror and it's an unreal thing.

106
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Since he's probably twelve years old, you're not the best.

107
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Other teams will pass on you for the first time.

108
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I say, now, we're good. We're gonna run at our

109
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: youth movement or run the squad we have now. And

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: I think that's an unusual situation now and I don't

111
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: think many teams will bite or you know, take that

112
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: bait like he probably thought they would.

113
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 4: I'm with you, and I'm just gonna break it down.

114
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: You know, I'm into the clothes and shopping and all that.

115
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: I love to go. Yes, you are.

116
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 4: And Lebron used to be Sacks Fifth Avenue. I know

117
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 4: if fans or butts because of all the stuff you

118
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: talked about. Now he's ross, he's going to ross and

119
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: teams as you say, I get the numbers and all that,

120
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 4: but you're not. No, I'm not training for him. He

121
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 4: makes too much money. I have to give up something.

122
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: I'm not interested in that. And I'm not interested in

123
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: just having Lebron for a year or two to sell tickets.

124
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: I'm not interested in that either. And I think that

125
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: the Lakers a aren't going to give them a buyout

126
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: and give them money a going away present so that

127
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: some other team can have them. So I don't see.

128
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 4: I don't see where this could happen. Where he's going anywhere.

129
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 4: And I understand that Dallas Mavericks. Sure, you want to

130
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 4: take the veteran's minimum, come five million dollars, right, and

131
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: you just want to play a while.

132
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: We'll do that.

133
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 4: Anybody would do that, right, But he's not worth fifty

134
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: three million to a team or giving up players to

135
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: have them and have to pay him fifty three million.

136
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: Do you see what I'm saying. There's no and this

137
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: is one of the all time great players. He's forty

138
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 4: one plus.

139
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: I think if you're the Lakers, if he were to

140
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: have a farewell season, like let's say, for whatever reason

141
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: in the next month or two, he comes out, I say, hey,

142
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: I just want of everybody noticed to be and this

143
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: is my last season. I want that in a Laker uniform.

144
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: I want that to be. I don't want to I

145
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: don't want to buy him out so he can go

146
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: have that for the New York Knicks, the reunited with

147
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: the Calves, or you know, with the Warriors, so he

148
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: can finally have one year where he plays with Steph.

149
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: No, if you're gonna have this is it.

150
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: I want that farewell just like they did with Cat

151
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: Kareem and he was sitting there in a chair and

152
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: everybody's giving him rocking chairs around different cities and having fun.

153
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I want that in a Laker uniform. I want that

154
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: to be we talked about. I want that to be

155
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: a part of you know, a part of our thing.

156
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: So if this happened to have been that last season now, bro,

157
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to have that last season here. But

158
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: too many teams right now in the NBA realize seven

159
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: years straight different champion, and I'm sure many feel like

160
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: we got a shot. I mean in the West alone,

161
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: you probably have legitimately five to six teams that feel like,

162
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: why why not US Rockets? Why not repeating if you're

163
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: the thunder Minnesota makes a move, they feel like, hey,

164
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: we can be in this thing.

165
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: Feel like we're right now, and they've been on the

166
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: CUSP Minnesota, yep. And the Nuggets, we already know they

167
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: won a championship and now they've boastered a team, got

168
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: the pieces that they had lost after they won the championship,

169
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: bench help some shooting.

170
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like they're looking like, hey man, the chance the

171
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: current champs, we took the seven games and we just

172
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: got better exactly. So there's a bunch of teams and

173
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: then you got a handful of teams in the East

174
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: who probably feel the same way. Hey man, we got

175
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: a shot to at least get to the finals. Then

176
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: we don't beat everybody in the West, but we got

177
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: a chance to get there. So point being this is

178
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: there's not a heavy need base for him right now.

179
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: And also he's not even thirty eight euro version of him.

180
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: You say, all right, I'm taking a flyer two three

181
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: more years of this. I'm taking a flyer on that,

182
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, but the forty one soon to be forty

183
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: one year old version. And this father Time, who was undefeated,

184
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: now he is father Time on a bit on the

185
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: ropes for Lebron. Father Time's been getting beat down by Lebron,

186
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: but he's still undefeated. And at some point I don't

187
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: want to make that trade. And this is the year

188
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: you finally snap a hamstring and you're out forty games.

189
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: And now I'm sitting here.

190
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: But it is interesting that people just this was a

191
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, different story, a completely different story.

192
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: But you cannot do fire.

193
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: I don't think that under any circumstance you would be interested.

194
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: And and all the reporting that I've heard is that

195
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: no one's interested at Lebron as a player at fifty

196
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: three million dollars like that, like that, that's what they're

197
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: not for.

198
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: And we know now with the second Apron, a lot

199
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: of teams are looking at all this. This isn't you know?

200
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 1: Five six years ago he said, all right, screw it,

201
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: let's do it whatever. Who cares this second apron? And

202
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: like I say, everybody's you need two aprons to cook?

203
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: I don't understand. No, I'm living a guy. She got

204
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: one in the front, one of the back.

205
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: Is that it is that what you putting in work

206
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: in the kitchen if you need to ap two aprons? Right, yeah,

207
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: that might be me tomorrow. People still put aprons on.

208
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: I can remember my mom with an apron cooking.

209
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: My mother when she's in town, did she put an apron?

210
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: But my mother is kind of Martha Stewarty, like she

211
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: has all the proper cooking.

212
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: She's really into that stuff.

213
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: So even when she's my mom is a type who

214
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: will tell you like, I'm gonna order this apron and

215
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: leave it in the such and such closet for me.

216
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 5: Rob, nobody's putting on an apron to press three minutes

217
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040

Speaker 5: Wait three minutes into the microwaves, you coming to me.

326
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Is he worth maybe kind of resetting your roster at

Speaker 1: this age even though he's still a quality player. Is

328
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,080

335
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 9: back up covern on a really good point, and that

336
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 9: was seeing Lebron James retired in the Lakers uniform. My

337
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 9: grandmother was born in eighteen eighty seven and she was

338
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 9: a big Lakers fan in Saint Paul Minnsoorti in the fifties,

339
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 9: watching like George Micah and Vernon Michaelson, Jim Pollard, and

340
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 9: the Lakers have such a storage history. I mean, they're

341
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 9: like the Yankees of basketball to me. And let's just

342
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 9: says on the side of love, the pet Riley Lakers version.

343
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 9: But anyways, I think that was a great point. I'd

344
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 9: like to see your Bron's retirement added to the Laker

345
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 9: history and the Laker Lakers lore.

346

Speaker 9: Actually?

382
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 10: And I never saw X Files other than when they

383
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 10: guest appeared on The Simpsons one.

384
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: I've never I'm with you, like I knew the name,

385
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: I forgot Moulder and Sully, but but I did not

386
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 4: watch that show.

387
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's, like, you know what another show

388
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: people didn't watch as much as we thaw Star Trek.

389
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: We've talked about this.

390
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: No, not when it originally aired. The ratings weren't good,

391
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 4: but are you kidding?

392
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: Well, of course, late it became a whole thing. But

393
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: thinking original one we think of it. It was a

394
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: bigger exactly, it's bigger culturally than it really was. Viewershow

395
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: I wonder if X files like.

396
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 4: That, A Alan real quick? What was the network that

397
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: Star Trek was on? The original network that Star Trek

398
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: was on?

399
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 10: Oh, geez, CBS, I don't know amount.

400
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: Of NBC, NBC and it was and it was a

401
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: Desi Lou production. I don't know who that Luci Ball

402
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: and Together company. That was all right, Alan, go ahead,

403
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 3: ware you go wow?

404
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, so first time call her?

405
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 8: Uh yeah.

406
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 10: So the Lebron's talk is always kind of interesting. I

407
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 10: think ultimately, I think the money is going to keep

408
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 10: him where he is. If he ended up in let's say, Cleveland,

409
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 10: it's the cool story. I don't see that's happening. One

410
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 10: thing I want to propose was what if Staples says, Okay,

411
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 10: we got a Kyrie Irving that's basically not going to

412
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 10: play all season. What about it just a swamp You

413
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 10: reunite Lebron with ad reunite Kyrie with Lucas.

414
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 8: Something like that.

415
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: What are the issue I have with that is it

416
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: sucks the air out of the room.

417
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: And I think some franchises are at a certain point

418
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: where they're like, Okay, For instance, if you're the Mavericks,

419
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: you want all at tension to be finally on.

420
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: You know Nico.

421
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: You saw Nico Harrison after draft and after a couple

422
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: of moves. Oh, I think the fans are loving it again.

423
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: I think they're coming back around. You just don't want

424
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: then Lebron and it sucks it And if it doesn't

425
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: go as well because Lebron, it's just not working.

426
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 3: And like you rather.

427
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: Say, even because they have the luxury alan even if

428
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: they're not great, they can say which you ask, because

429
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie isn't here yet, that's the only reason why we're

430
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: not that great, or they have the luxury in the

431
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: back pocket of saying, man Cooper flag this rookie year,

432
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: he's only gonna get better, He's only gonna get better.

433
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 3: So I think they'd rather just move.

434
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: Forward with that than have that kind of now all

435
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: of the distractions and Lebron retiring here is this is

436
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: last year or not so appreciate the call though, thank you.

437
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think you know what I mean.

438
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: There's some teams who don't want I think you'd have

439
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: to be a team that's so kind of irrelevant.

440
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: I just think we're selling.

441
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: Tickets, we're selling jerseys and all that, trying to win, right,

442
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: right and that, and that's the problem with Lebron.

443
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 4: And I think where Alan from La just said, he's right,

444
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: like the money is going to keep him here.

445
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of money for the in the

446
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: second Apron and now to buy them out just for

447
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: him to go. You know, now, I do there are

448
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: teams that if they are a guy away, you know

449
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: that you could be like, oh that's but I just

450
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: don't see them one upset.

451
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: You know what they have the roster.

452
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 4: Remember what we always talk about with Lebron, like you

453
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 4: have to figure out everything around Lebron too. If he's

454
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: going to be in the mix, he's not going to

455
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 4: be a fringe.

456
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: Player, right, No, And the third guy always takes the

457
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: back seat there with the third guy there like it's

458
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: just his year. And if Lebron would be there now

459
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: or maybe he's a second guy now.

460
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: He'll be third and he'll be standing at the perimeteral.

461
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: Seriously, that happened to Kevin Love and Boshapping's Love.

462
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 4: Was doing a double dobe. He's getting twenty four and

463
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: seventeen am I right on a nightly basis, like twenty five.

464
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: I would look up twenty four and seventeen.

465
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: He was at a crazy numbers. You bet the body

466
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: because the team wasn't great, so you'd only see it

467
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: on the ticker. Was like he was on TV and

Speaker 1: a magical night last night at Chavez Ravine Dodger Stadium.

525
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: As somebody he's very familiar with, Clayton Kershaw. That's three

526
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: thousand strikeouts. I say it ain't happening again, you say

527
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: it will at some point.

528
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna happen. They're free swingers in baseball. Strikeouts, well,

529
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 4: no big deal, But at one time you didn't want

530
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: to strike out.

531
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: You need to make contact.

532
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter now because analytics say this and say that,

533
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: and now we can ask Ned that. Ned Colletti's our

534
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: guest right now with the odd couple. Ned, what's up, man?

535
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: How are you? Ned?

536
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 8: Hey? Doing great? Gentleen doing great?

537
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 3: Always great to talk to you, absolutely, Net.

538
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: We were just talking about this just you know Clinton

539
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: Kershaw so well inside and out, what he was able

540
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: to do last night and what he's been able to

541
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: do over his career now all these years. Just talk

542
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: about how difficult that task is. Only twenty guys have

543
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: ever done it, and just what Clinton Kershaw's meant to

544
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: the Dodgers baseball as a whole.

545
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 8: Well, it's very unique when you think about how many

546
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 8: starting pitchers, how many pitchers ever been in the game,

547
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 8: and he's one of twenty, and he's one of four

548
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 8: that two you know, left handed right, It is quite

549
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 8: the accomplishment. I mean, it's it's rare. We don't know,

550
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 8: you know, who will be the next maybe maybe sail,

551
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 8: but he's about four or five hundred away. And after that,

552
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 8: I mean it may be decades. But what he means

553
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 8: to the organization, I think is at the utmost when

554
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 8: you think about what he's done, how he's done it,

555
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 8: the integrity he brings both to his craft and to

556
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 8: his family and to how he lives his wife pretty phenomenal.

557
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 8: And you know, as I as I look back on it,

558
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 8: and I was there last night and got a little

559
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 8: tearyoe actually watching watching it unfold.

560
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 4: You know, I would have given you a tissue, din

561
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 4: uh howl is that would have passed you a tissue

562
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: if it was.

563
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 8: It wasn't that. It was just a little tearing up.

564
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 8: But you know, he's special. He's just special. And what

565
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 8: he's done and how he's done it. You guys know athletes,

566
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 8: I mean you guys obviously no athletes that that he

567
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 8: would be as talented as he is and would never

568
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 8: rest on his world, would never rest was always would

569
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 8: climb a mountain and look, not look where he just

570
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 8: and how far we claimed, but look for the next one,

571
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 8: and look for the next one, and look for the

572
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 8: next one. And I can't say every athlete I've been

573
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 8: around and continue to have that pursuit of excellence. But

574
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 8: that's that's who he is and that's what he's done.

575
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: How important was it finally in twenty twenty when he

576
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 4: won a World Series and was you know, pitch well

577
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 4: in it because we got to you know, look at

578
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 4: it honestly and truthfully two five to one career e

579
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 4: RA in the postseason, you know, he had.

580
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 3: A four I think it's like four four, you know

581
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: what I.

582
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 4: Mean, And there were some really bad moments and things

583
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: that people remember, Kershar giving up home runs and all

584
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 4: kinds of runs and just uncharacteristic of.

585
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 3: What he had done in his career.

586
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 4: How important was that for him to finally win that

587
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: and kind of put that the rest, you know, as

588
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 4: far as legacy, because we know he's a great pitcher.

589
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's a good point, you know. I think

590
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 8: I think it is important. I mean, he'll you know,

591
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 8: he was, he was thrilled, I think last night with

592
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 8: the accomplishment and having Ellen there and his kids there

593
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 8: and his friends there. You know, it's a big deal.

594
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 8: But I think that he would he would put it

595
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 8: all aside for more championships. That's what he is. I mean,

596
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 8: he's a team guy. He's that's an old cliche, but

597
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 8: knowing him, I mean, that's who he is. I can't

598
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 8: tell you how many times it went to the playoffs

599
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 8: five times, four times was he was with us? The

600
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 8: first time was as with you as his first year

601
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 8: as pro ball, and we would call him in, whether

602
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 8: it was Joe Torre or Don Manningly and always Rick

603
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 8: Honeycutt the pitching coach before the series and lay out

604
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 8: our pitching plans. And when you have a best three

605
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 8: out of five, you know who's going to start Game one.

606
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 8: It's going to be him, most likely, and then you

607
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 8: don't know where you're going to be. When you get

608
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 8: to Game three, you may be down to zero. Yeah,

609
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 8: you made up. And every time we would bring him in,

610
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 8: he would say whatever you need, whatever you need, and

611
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 8: it wasn't like a phony or a false hustle, whatever

612
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 8: you need. It was real. And the last time, and

613
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 8: I think it was in fourteen, perhaps call him in

614
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 8: and he had one of the best answers I've ever heard.

615
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 8: We're talking to him and said, well, you know, while

616
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 8: you're in here, and he looks at me and he

617
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 8: says you know, you bring me in here every October

618
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 8: and we have this conversation and I finally really figured

619
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 8: out what I really need to tell you. He said,

620
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 8: what I need to tell you is I work all

621
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 8: winter so that when you asked me this question, with

622
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 8: one hundred percent confidence and preparation, I can tell you

623
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 8: I'm ready to do this. I am ready, and you know,

624
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 8: to have an athlete think to that extent and be

625
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 8: able to convey that like I've been working on this

626
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 8: since November to get to this October and knowing that

627
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 8: and hope we got there. We got there. A lot

628
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 8: that this type of common station to take place. I

629
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 8: just found it a little fascinating and really rewarding in

630
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 8: a lot of ways that that was his approach for

631
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 8: what he did. What he did for most of the time,

632
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 8: I mean all the time. Really, he didn't do it

633
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 8: for himself. He did it for the team, He did

634
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 8: it for his family, did it for the city of

635
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 8: La the organization. Not everybody does it like that.

636
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: He is net KLETTI on with the Odd Couple, Robin

637
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: Kelvin on the TV Things on Thursday. Man, I want

638
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: to ask you about this, Rob and I talk about

639
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: this guy you can. And I'll even throw in another

640
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: one in Aaron Judge. But how special these two guys

641
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: were seeing Shoey Otani and Aaron Judge this run that

642
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: they've both been on. But I'll start with just show Hey,

643
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: you've been covering the game for so long. Did you

644
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: think you would see a guy who could pitch at

645
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: regularly for the first you know, five years or so

646
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: four or five years and then obviously had a couple

647
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: of rough years with injuries pitching wise, but now back

648
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: pitching and yet still be this prolific as a hitter

649
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: and even stealing bases like he did last season.

650
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: Did you think you would see this?

651
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 8: No? I people would compare him and have compared him

652
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 8: to Babe Ruth, and Babe is a totally different character

653
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 8: to me. He really brought the game to the forefront

654
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 8: of the public domain, different era, different things. But people

655
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 8: say Baby Ruth did. He started as a pitcher and

656
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 8: then he turned into the prolific hitter, but he only

657
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 8: threw like thirty thirty five games where he was both

658
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 8: what we see what mister Otani.

659
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 9: Is is so unique.

660
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 8: I mean, he's one of a kind. Would you would

661
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 8: this would almost be like watching an NFL game today

662
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 8: and the guy's the best middle linebacker to ever play

663
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 8: and the best quarterback ever played, and he's playing both

664
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 8: sides of the game. You know, it's what he does

665
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 8: is special. Bab Ruth. From my point, Baby Ruth didn't

666
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 8: even do this. So you're watching somebody that does stuff

667
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 8: that that you know, you could put together a video

668
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 8: game or a character to do something like this, but

669
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 8: they have somebody actually do it. It blows me away.

670
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 8: And the other thing I'll say about one more thing

671
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 8: on him. What surprised me most about last year is

672
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 8: that expectation could not have been greater for any athlete

673
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 8: than him LA the big contract, the whole thing, and

674
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 8: he didn't meet expectation. He had seated expectation that to

675
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 8: me is unbelievable.

676
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: No doubt.

677
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: We're also talking about Aaron Judges, the top vote getter,

678
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: the All Star. To see a guy with that kind

679
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: of power net and then he's still batt in three sixty.

680
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: Here we are in July.

681
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 4: At one point, I know he was leading the league

682
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: in singles as well, and whatnot. What do you make

683
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: of a guy like that, who's who's just he's a

684
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 4: hitter and a power hitter. You don't see that combination

685
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 4: all the time.

686
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 8: No, another rare talent. You know you can you can

687
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 8: find power and you can find guys that can hit that.

688
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 8: You can find somebody that can do both. It's again

689
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 8: you're looking for a rarity. You know in every draft,

690
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 8: there's not a player like that. He's a generational player.

691
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 8: There's not many players that bring that skill set and

692
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 8: really his his leadership and everything else that he does,

693
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 8: he's another He's another player that is there are there

694
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 8: are very good players in the big leages. You wouldn't

695
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 8: be there. If you want a good player beginning. Then

696
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 8: there's the upper, then there's the upper, and then there's

697
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 8: the upper of the upper. And both these players, for

698
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 8: me said, sit in that area with with hardly anybody else,

699
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 8: but that's who they are. And one of them, one

700
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 8: of them could be one of the best pitchers you'll see.

701
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 8: Besides being a guy that can steal basis, it would power,

702
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 8: neat expectation, lead off and do everything else he does.

703
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 8: He is such a threat.

704
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 9: All the time.

705
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 8: And there's there's also a piece to him and Mookie

706
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 8: and Freddie Fema and Will Smith and that group that

707
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 8: when that order over, like last night, you know the

708
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 8: other team is going, you know, we got our hands full.

709
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 8: Now this is psychology of how the team is put together.

710
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 8: And when you got a guy like like so Hey

711
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 8: leading off, like, oh goodness, I.

712
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 3: Don't like that.

713
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: You know what I got to say this Ned, I

714
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 4: know you want to get him an extra at bad

715
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: We got about a minute to go.

716
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: I don't want to.

717
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: Get off the But at one point it felt like

718
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 4: he had more home runs than RBIs, like like like

719
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 4: you know, like I understand the long ball, but I

720
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 4: don't want them all when there's nobody on base, Like

721
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 4: last year had one hundred and thirty RBIs.

722
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: This year he was on page for eighty RBIs.

723
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 4: I mean that's a big difference, right, No, you're you're

724
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 4: right on and.

725
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 8: It was, and it just started to spread out a

726
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 8: little bit. But see, that's not his fault, so to speak.

727
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 8: That's not on him in my book, that's on the seven, eight,

728
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 8: and nine hitters, and they have been much better lately,

729
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 8: and that's on them because he's a leadoff hitter. Really

730
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 8: one time, right, Okay, it's almost like if you if

731
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 8: you wanted him hitting clean up take the seventh hitter,

732
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 8: he's the leadoff hit, or the eight hitter is the

733
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 8: second hitter, the nine hitters.

734
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 9: The third hitter.

735
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 8: Okay, if they were getting on base and they're much

736
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 8: better today than they were at the outset, right, if

737
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 8: they were doing that, you'd be fine with it. You

738
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 8: capture the extra at that, you put fear in the picture,

739
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 8: so to speak, anticipation. They know they got to start out.

740
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 8: They can't just work their way up to it. When

741
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 8: that when they go out for the first inning, they

742
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 8: got to be right on, right on point.

743
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 3: Put the first pitch out. Man, are you kidding if

744
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: you're not right?

745
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 8: Exactly?

746
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: Yes.

747
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 8: So it's not that it's really not that bad an

748
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 8: idea because after the first inning he can he can

749
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 8: be any hitter you want to be, because it depends

750
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 8: on what seven, eight and nine do.

751
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: No, damn, we had talked about that in twenty seconds

752
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: World Series are who Who's who?

753
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: Who's Who's And I already know Dodgers. No do that

754
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 4: like that, he's picking the Dodgers.

755
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 8: Come on, it'll be the I mean, who's gonna you know,

756
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 8: only the team can beat the Dodgers, the dog, you know,

757
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 8: so so we'll put them in and then you know.

758
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 8: American League. I don't know who it's gonna be, but

759
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 8: I can do. But if I gotta say today, you

760
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 8: know whoever it is will be exhausted by the time

761
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 8: they get to the last week of October.

762
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 4: I'll tell you the American League is not that good

763
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 4: this year. Teams are A lot of teams are flawed.

764
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. It's not a Oh yeahs.

765
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 8: Are really good last year. All right. The Dodgers are

766
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 8: a class of a group.

Speaker 3: You want to in a box up?

800
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:09,880

Speaker 3: It's shop telling me all right, shay, you were up today?

00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 11: I am filling in for Rob's very tiny feet. I

804
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 11: hope I do a good job here. It's shop talk,

805
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 11: very easy. We kind of just talk about random things

806
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 11: not necessarily sports related. It could be sports related, but

807
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 11: not this one. Lululemon has filed a lawsuit against Costco,

808
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 11: accusing the chain of selling dupes, knockoff versions, lookalikes, whatever.

809
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: You want to call it.

810
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 11: I was duped of its clothing for discounted prices. Here's

811
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 11: the question, guys, should the brands be punished for selling

812
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 11: high quality dupes? And would you yourself by dupe items?

813
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: Take it away? Boys? Uh so, here here's the thing.

814
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: The funny part about this I was talking about this

815
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: is Lululemon had been sued before because years ago, when

816
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: they really started getting popping, everybody was spending their one

817
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars one hundred and fifty dollars for a T

818
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: shirt and a pair of pants, they started to lessen

819
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: the fabrics in women's particular regions and around the buttocks

820
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: as well. So women started to sue them because they

821
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: were saying, hey, I'm buying this and putting.

822
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 3: On just sure here I got on. Yeah, this is

823
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: a lemon.

824
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: That's a little limit, yeap? All right, eh, look at you.

825
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: You better make sure not a lemon. You see the

826
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: butter fake one there in these streets. So yeah, so

827
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm finding the irony of them being mad at somebody

828
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: about lesson quality and getting sued and all that when

829
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: they used to do that. I was just in Mexico

830
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: and that cruise we stopped off in Insenada. And I'm

831
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: not a guy who rob who can walk down in

832
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: Senata and see the Louise and the guys like my man,

833
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: come on, man, come here, and they got the fake

834
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: Louise and the fake guts. I just can't do it

835
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: because in my fears, one day somebody would be like, yo,

836
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: yo gi is falling off on the Gucci Yo the

837
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: yo your thes VL, It's supposed to be LV. That's

838
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: not so I'm not a Rolex doesn't have to Yeah,

839
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: why is your Rolex ticking? So I'm I'm a pass

840
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: on it, but I get it. I get why people

841
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: do it, but I'm a pass but I'm not. But

842
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: also I don't like them suing them though, because that's

843
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: just part of the course. When you're a big business.

844
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: You know, many people try to be coke, you know

845
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: what I mean, That's just part of the business when

846
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: you're when you're a brand like that.

847
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you this, this is how I felt

848
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: going into that store. I was duped. I don't want

849
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: to buy anything that's fake and phony. I'm not with it.

850
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 4: I'm not If I can't buy the Louis Vautan, the

851
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: real thing, I don't want it.

852
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: You see people walking around the airport with.

853
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: Their luggage, and you know what I'm saying, oh man,

854
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: and they're walking around like like, just get a regular suitcase, and.

855
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 4: It's okay, it's all right, get a black vinyl suitcase.

856
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: You don't need a fake Louis Vatan suitcase.

857
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 4: It's just what is the purpose you think People walking

858
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 4: by don't don't realize.

859
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: That you're wearing a fake. So then one would ask,

860
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: how do we know? Are we judging everything else?

861
00:38:53,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: Quite obvious? Where are you Martin our o like Lululemon dupes?

862
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'm not paying seventy five hundred dollars for why not?

866
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 5: level of coming and you can't.

867
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 3: Take the money with you.

868
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 4: What what's the big deal to spend good money on

869
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: good stuff for yourself?

870
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 5: Because I can put the average money on average stuff,

871
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 5: and I'm good with that.

872
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 3: It's the only time in your life you're like bipolar

873
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: or something.

874
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: One minute, you're the cheapest man ever because they raised

875
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: seventeen cent. You won't buy a Goo, a soda, a

876
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: l Poyo loco, but you're coming here with a Gucci

877
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: Scully hat and a Gucci hoodie.

878
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 4: I can't, man, I don't get it because I'm saving

879
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 4: the money from the drink so I could buy the

880
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 4: Gucci stuff.

881
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: That's what it is, Alex, Hey, Alex.

882
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 6: Simple, If it's not real, it's not for me. Right,

883
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna wear dupes because then I'm gonna be duped.

884
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 6: I feel like, if you're proactively enabling a market where

885
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 6: you're gonna settle for less, where do you set the

886
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 6: boundary for what you will settle for less for?

887
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 3: I was vacation. I can't. That was too much, was Alex?

888
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: My head exploded because that was so profostic you.

889
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 5: I guess you guys never got the bag of loops

890
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 5: underneath the fruit loops?

891
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: No, I never, because that was we were a bag

892
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 4: of loops house.

893
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 3: To me, those are not dupe fruit loops. Those are

894
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: the less expensive versions.

895
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: That was my point of when I said I don't

896
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: like Lululemon suing, because I said, if you're coke, people

897
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: have been trying to make coke.

898
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 3: For where are you shak?

899
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 11: I mean, I I can see people wearing reps. I'm

900
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 11: at a place where I don't have to wear reps,

901
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 11: like thankfully, Like I'm working, like I can save.

902
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: Up for it something.

903
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 11: If I'm in a spot where I'm not making that

904
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 11: much money, and like I I want to get some

Speaker 3: I don't get fake Travis Scott. I wouldn't, but I
