00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: show and at one point a well known artist in

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: the Malard Militia, we had an art museum.

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: His art would be in the art museum.

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: So this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible

24
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,039

00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: dot Com.

30
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: The Way Tire Buying Show b so our lead.

31
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: This is from the Bay Area and the forty nine

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: ers could be finer. We have our first quarterback injury,

33
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: our first quarterback injury of the regular season in the NFL.

34
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: If you have not seen this, maybe not the forty

35
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: nine Ers, Mister irrelevant. Brock Purty will be mister irrelevant

36
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: going forward if you believe the Niners. And now most

37
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: of these reports are bogus, but we're going to assume

38
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: the position that this one is not. Brock Purty described

39
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: as a quote long shot, a long shot to play

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: against the Norlands Saints, which is as bad an NFL

41
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: team as you can find.

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: And now that.

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Party could miss multiple weeks. I like how they say, well,

44
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: he's a long shot to play against Saints. Oh and oh,

45
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: by the way, he's probably gonna miss multiple games with

46
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: a toe injury. Now, Kyle Shanahan, who we just goofed

47
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: on in a previous episode of the show. So Shanahan

48
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: commented on Brock pretty in fact, rather than me just

49
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: read the quote.

50
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: Let's go the audio tape.

51
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 4: Here.

52
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: Is the forty nine.

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 5: Er coach any further sense about whether Brock will be

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: able to play on Sunday?

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: Oh, I dance a long shot as well.

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 6: That party's injury could be a multi week thing.

57
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: And that's the toe more so in the shoulder. Yes,

58
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: did someone's up on his foot in the pocket? Do

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: you know how the toe injury happened? Yeah, I think

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: it happened scrambling.

61
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 7: I think when I'm love tackle him by the sideline.

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: I believe it happened. Was playing through that in the

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: game or is just something you found out later?

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: That was where Yeah, he got grilled there he was

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: like he was like being integragated or interrogated rather interrogated

66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: by the by the cops. All right, So Mac Jones

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: under this scenario, Mac Jones will be QB number one

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: when the forty nine ers on the New Orleans football

69
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: team if Brock Purty cannot play.

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: So let us discuss the question what is.

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: The biggest difference between brock Purty and Mac Jones. So

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: I've got Dino Nuggets, Johnny Depp and Icy Hot and

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: those are three things that have never been put together.

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: But we're gonna put him together and play Connect three.

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: So a who goofed? I've got to know right now.

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: We have poked fun at Brock Party.

77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: We have had a lot.

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Of fun, and we've been right with our analysis at

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Brock Party. And I think he has he's played. The

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: more he's played, the more his frailties have been exposed,

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: and the real football people know he's not all that good, right,

82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: And we pointed that out as weakness is because it's

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: part of the job as.

84
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: It talk shows.

85
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: However, if you're being totally honest here, brock Purty, well,

86
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: he is certainly not Peyton Maning or Patrick Mahomes or

87
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: something like that compared to Mac Jones.

88
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: Though.

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: It's like going from a nice meal at Dave's Hot Chicken,

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: and then he said, well, I can't go there, I

91
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 1: can't find one, and I don't want that Nashville Hot Chicken.

92
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: So instead I'm just gonna microwave some Dino Nuggets. And

93
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna eat like. Already's strength is that

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't screwed up too much. That he's kind of

95
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: the little wind up toil toy for Kyle Shanahan's offense.

96
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: That he reads the defense and he'll get rid of

97
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: the ball, and as long as the playmakers are matriculating

98
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, he's fine.

99
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: Mac Jones.

100
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: From his time with the Patriots, he will stare down

101
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: that linebacker. He'll give that linebacker elevator eyes man up

102
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: and down and all around, and it's like.

103
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: It's his prom date.

104
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: And then he'll still throw the linebacker the ball, which

105
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: you shouldn't do. Not that I played quarterback in the NFL,

106
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: but forty four interceptions in less than sixteen hundred pass attempts.

107
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: For mac Jones.

108
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a quarterback coach to know

109
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: that blows.

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 3: It's not just bad.

111
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: It's like working at Santa's Workshop in the gift wrapping

112
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: department when it comes to turnovers. And on his best day,

113
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, on his very best day, which of course

114
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: means as good as all the rest, he's mid.

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: He's not a good quarterback, Mac Jones.

116
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: He's just good enough to keep you from immediately cutting him,

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: and so he'll have a job in the NFL because

118
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: he shows up to practice and he's a good practice player.

119
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: But he's that guy that you you know, you kind

120
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: of regret the whole thing, but you want to get

121
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: away from the person. Like dating, you want to get

122
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: away from the person, but you don't really have anything

123
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: else to do on.

124
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: A Friday night, so you're like, I will hang out

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 3: with him whatever.

126
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: But he's bad enough to lose winnable games, and that's

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: the issue. And I have no skin in the game.

128
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: I know that our guys are Nesto and some of

129
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: the other forty nine are Jay Scoop and Alameda Loo

130
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: and those guys that are big forty nine er fans

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: and some others that call the show.

132
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: You're a RAM fan, what do you? You don't know

133
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 3: what you're telling you this jet Listen.

134
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I know Mac Jones from watching these games and being

135
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, on Benny versus the Penny all these years

136
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: and handicapping the games. So he's he's bad enough to

137
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: lose winnable games. He's not bad enough to be out

138
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: of the league. That's the point, right, And brock Perty

139
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't elevate players, that's our main argument, and mac

140
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Jones he actively pulls them down into the mud with him.

141
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: And so that's the other issue. Now Paige two looking

142
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: at the upcoming gig because it's interesting.

143
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: It looks like the forty nine ers are going to

144
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: go with mac Jones.

145
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: So with that as the backstory, who's under more pressure

146
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: this week? Is it mac Jones taking over at quarterback

147
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: or is it Kyle Shanahan who has to draw up

148
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: the playbook for mac Jones. So the arrow on this

149
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: one is clearly pointing the direction of mac Jones. The

150
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: guy's career is dangling by a threat. He went from

151
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: the supposed savior of the Patriots and the handpicked quarterback

152
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: by Bill Belichick, and he was gonna be the guy

153
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: that leads New England out of a deep dark place

154
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: there and the next great Patriot quarterback. He was rudely

155
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: kicked out of the Northeast and sent to Jacksonville.

156
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: It's like, well that's a kind of a homecoming form

157
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: right Jacksonville.

158
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: And he was an afterthought in Jacksonville, and now he

159
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: goes to the forty nine ers and it's like a

160
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: charity case for Kyle Shanahan to put him out there,

161
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: so he absolutely he needs Mac Jones needs a big

162
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: game like Johnny Depp needed Pirates of the Caribbean four.

163
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: Because without it, I mean, if he goes out there

164
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: and loses to the Saints, I mean he is woof wow.

165
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: You know, maybe he can be clipboard guy forever, but

166
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: most likely not even that. I mean Jones argument has

167
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: been the Jones camp, if there is such a thing

168
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: as a Jones camp, is that he's been surrounded by

169
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: flotsam and jetsam. That in New England they just had

170
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: bad football players around him, and in Jacksonville they had

171
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: underachieving but talented players.

172
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: The Niners are supposed to be different.

173
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: Now, they did have a down year last year, but

174
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: the Niner rosters supposed to be an upgrade.

175
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: Now that's debatable.

176
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: And we know that Kyle Shanahan is going to spoon

177
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: feed Mac Jones with his celebrated offensive system, which every

178
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: broadcaster on television.

179
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: Loves to tell you is the greatest thing ever.

180
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: And can he play Shanahan hide the quarterback like its

181
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: backyard football?

182
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: Can he do that? Now?

183
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: Other than Christian McCaffrey, you look at that Niner depth chart,

184
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: there is no juice.

185
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: Where's the juice? There is no juice there.

186
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: You've got a mid quarterback in mac Jones, you've got

187
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: mid weapons, and you've got Shanahan who's doing some meatball

188
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: surgery trying to put.

189
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: It all together.

190
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Now, if they weren't playing the Saints, who are actively

191
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: waving the white flag.

192
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: They don't. They're not even trying.

193
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: They're they're not even Spencer Rattler is their quarterback for

194
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: God's sakes, right, So this would be a certified disaster.

195
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Like the Niners, as bad as they are, you think

196
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna win just because they're the better team.

197
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: That doesn't always work out that way.

198
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: And there's something in the points spreads involvements. But in

199
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: terms of the evidence here, George Kittle on injured reserve,

200
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: so he's not gonna play their safety blanket tight end.

201
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings is dinged up, So now you're most likely

202
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: rolling with Kendrick Bourne, who was an ex patriot, and

203
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: Ricky Piersall those are your options on offense. And so

204
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: what does that mean? That means the usual screens dump

205
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: off to Christian mccafrey. It's Christian McCaffrey left, and then

206
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: when you get tired of that, it's Christian McCaffrey to

207
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the right, and you pray for a busted play and

208
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: he takes it to the out Like Shanahan's going to

209
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: be the chef here calling up the plays and he'll

210
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: be cooking with the ingredients are spam and saltines instead

211
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: of wagou beef, So there's no wagoo bee. Now, good

212
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: luck on that right and again Mac. The drama here

213
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: is that Mack.

214
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: Is playing for his football life. He's playing for his

215
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 3: football life.

216
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: And if you look at how he has played up

217
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: until this point, which is all we have to judge

218
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: him on, he has struggled pre snap. He appears to

219
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: have no idea how to read. He's illiterate when it

220
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: comes to reading a blitz. You can't do that to

221
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: save his life. And the Saints even in tank mon though,

222
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: here's the odd thing about like, even as bad as

223
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: the Saints are, there's still a few good players on

224
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: the defense on defense, and they can't dial up some pressure.

225
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of like sending a man who

226
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: can't swim into the wavepool at six flags. Hurricane Harbor.

227
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: You just put him out there, and it's probably not

228
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: a good idea. It's probably not so all right. Now,

229
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: last word, we head from the forty nine Ers and

230
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: we go to Petsburg, PA, the land of the Insers,

231
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: and that's where we have our weekly dose up a.

232
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: Radgers. Yes, Aaron Rodgers.

233
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: So the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he announced, despite having

234
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: good numbers against the Jets' former team and the Steelers

235
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: winning that game, Rogers said that his back was tight

236
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: in Week one and that kept him from moving how

237
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: he typically moves. He said he actually ran into one

238
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 1: or two sacks against the Jets. Quote Rogers said, I

239
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: might be old, but I still feel like I can

240
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: move around pretty good, and I wasn't moving the way

241
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: I usually like to move close quote all right, So

242
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: question on this one for the esteem panel, what is

243
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: your takeaway from Aaron Rodgers saying that his back was

244
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: essentially barking harf horf horf. Sounded like that his back

245
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: was barking harfrf just like Andre's dog, right, just like

246
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: his dog there willis so uh. The Steelers the way

247
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: I look at this, they have themselves a middle aged.

248
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: Quarterback that's kind of it's not my opinion, it's not

249
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: an outrageous opinion. That's what he is, you know, in

250
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: life and in football, he's an old quarterback. But after that.

251
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: Opening scene, right, I mean that was the opening scene

252
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: of the of the play, and Rogers essentially hit us

253
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: with the readed middle aged lament one game in, so

254
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: using the Mallord decoder, the Mallard Dacota, it's Rogers essentially saying, hey,

255
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Mike chiropractor is now more important than my offensive coordinator.

256
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: It's the NFL's version of that classic line from an

257
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: old TV show called The Honeymooners and Ralph Cramton, who

258
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: said it best, Oh my aching back, right, and Rogers,

259
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's giving you the hippodrome sneak preview of

260
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: what's coming soon to a stadium near you. So it's

261
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: one game in and Rogers is already saying, hey, my

262
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: back is barking.

263
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: Let's fast forward.

264
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: Now ahead in the broadcast until December in Pittsburgh, Chamber

265
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: of Commerce, day, thirty one degrees cloudy, just overcast, wind

266
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: blowing off the Allegheny and the confluence right there, and

267
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: you think that that back is going to feel looser

268
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: in those conditions.

269
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm asking for a friend.

270
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Now, now that back is going to

271
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: sound like a rusty screen door in a windstorm by

272
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: the time we get to December, if he's even still

273
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: out there by the time we get December. So, no

274
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: matter how much it's a good lesson here, no matter

275
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: how much ayahuasca one drinks, Rogers is still like the

276
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: rest of us who reach middle aged right. He still

277
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: thinks he can dance like he did in his twenties,

278
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: except when he goes to the club. Now he hits

279
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: the dance floor and a couple songs later, he's rubbing

280
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: icy hot all over his body. He is oiled up

281
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: with icy hot. That's how he's doing it.

282
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: Now. He's at the athletic.

283
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: Stage of life where occasionally tying one shoes is a

284
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: warm up.

285
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: Exercise, and you go to the gym, say did you

286
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: warm up? Yeah? I warmed up.

287
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: What you do I tied my shoes, Well, that's not

288
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: warming up. Well for me, it's warming up. So I

289
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: tied my shoes. Well, that's not really warming up, but

290
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: for me, it's tied my shoves. Now, where will you

291
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: bend over, you know, to bend over to pick up

292
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: the remote, and suddenly you need an MRI that kind

293
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: of thing.

294
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: So keep an eye on this. We obviously will. We

295
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: have nothing else going on.

296
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: But by week eight, every time Rogers tries to roll out,

297
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: it's coming to look like your uncle Harvey getting off

298
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: the couch there and you know, watching after watching seven

299
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: hours of commercials that you used to have no commercials

300
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: on that Red Zone channel. So a lot of creeks, cracks,

301
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: groans all that. That's the soundtrack for Aver and Raders.

302
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: So it's a bit of foreshadowing.

303
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: It's a bit of foreshadowing, a preview of future coming attractions.

304
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: And when the backlocks up in September, it's a bad

305
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: sign for December. So instead of the terrible towel, that

306
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: should change it up. I got an idea. Now, I'm

307
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: a marketing guy. You said what you used an overnight

308
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: I am an overnight guy, but I'm a marketing guy.

309
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Mallard marketing. How about this promotional giveaway? A lot of teams.

310
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: Football teams don't use give stuff away because they.

311
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: Don't need to. They only play eight games year.

312
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Baseball teams give you a bobble Dodgers have had four

313
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: bobblehead nights.

314
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: For Showhale, tony four of them.

315
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: Four of them, and people still line up six hours

316
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: before the game to get a o Tani bobble It's like, hey,

317
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: it's not that limited dummy anyway, that's not the point.

318
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: Football teams normally don't give stuff away. The Steelers are

319
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: known for what they're known for, the terrible towel. I'm

320
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: now the marketing director of the Pittsburgh Steels. Here's what

321
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: I do.

322
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: I go out online and I purchase.

323
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: Forty thousand heating pads, and I put the Steeler logo

324
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: on them, and I have a promotion, Aaron Rodgers Heating

325
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Pad Night. On one side, I put the Steeler logo.

326
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: On the other side, I put a mug shot of

327
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Boom done. What a great promotion. All right,

328
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: the terrible heating pads and put those out. Who says

329
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: no to that? Come on, it's a good idea. I

330
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: know you're shaking your head.

331
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: That's a good idea. You can't come up with any

332
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,560

Speaker 1: Way Tire Buying showb so our lead this hour with

380
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: some baseball I thought this was interesting. These kind of

381
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: debates always drive me nuts, and since I have the

382
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: bully pulpit here, I thought, why not just to have

383
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: some fun with this. So we go to dateline Chicago

384
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: and it's all she wrote for a franchise legend in

385
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: the Windy City.

386
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: If you have not heard by now, maybe not Anthony

387
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: Rizzo done. Now we saw Rizzo. He is a Yankee.

388
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: Game the other night played with the Yankees, his last

389
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: big league team. Rizzo, though, was drinking a beer in

390
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: the stands and the news came out.

391
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 3: He is going to.

392
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: Officially retire as a member of the Cups, one of

393
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: those ceremonial retirement ceremony thing of the jigs that I

394
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: love so much. And he's going to join the organization

395
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: as a team ambassador.

396
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 3: All right.

397
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: So Rizzo, thirty six, spent ten of his fourteen big

398
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: league seasons in Chicago. He has fully vested in the

399
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball pension program. So he's set gonna get

400
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: big fat checks.

401
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 3: You know, as long as he lives.

402
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: And those are really nice checks, really sexy checks that

403
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna get. And so he helped them win the

404
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: World Series in twenty sixteen, y'all told me that the

405
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: Cubs are going to become a dynasty, and they pretty much.

406
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 3: Snunk ever since then.

407
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: And so the issue here is this debate that has

408
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: popped up now that Rizzo's announced his retirement. Is he

409
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: going to get the ultimate honor from the Chicago National

410
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: League Baseball team?

411
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: So let's discuss. That's a good jumping off point.

412
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: So the question, should the Cubs retire Anthony Rizzo's number?

413
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: Should they retire his number?

414
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: So I've got ring around the Rosie Turtle, wax and Superman,

415
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: and we'll combine all of these ingredients together. We're gonna

416
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: make Babushka's favorite potato lacas is what we're gonna make,

417
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: all right, So number, I said number. My answer, should

418
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: the Cubs retire Anthony Rizzo's number? It's a hard no,

419
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: not a soft no. It's a hard no.

420
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: We are against Jersey retirements as a rule of thumb.

421
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: This thing's gotten way out of hand, way out of hand.

422
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: These uniform funerals are the corporate version of taking your

423
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: grandma's photo album and then charging you twenty dollars or

424
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: thirty dollars for the privilege of.

425
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: Looking at them. Hey remember sixteen, boy, that was a

426
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 3: long time ago. Remember the curse, the curse of the

427
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: Billy Goat. Yeah, somebody let Doc Mike know.

428
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: The Billy Goat curses over because he's still dropping goat

429
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: heads off at Wrigley Feel. But it's Wrigleyville marketing oxygen

430
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: right now. I understand we got great cub fans. Tree

431
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: in Chicago wonderfully gave me a good gift package from

432
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: the Cubs, which is very kind, and and all the

433
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: other guys that we've met over the years in Chicago,

434
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 1: So Eugene in Chicago, A lot of guys can't name

435
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: the moll g man.

436
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try, though, No Phase, he always gets upset.

437
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: Who you said?

438
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: My name?

439
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: My name's Phase. I did meet him in a Cup

440
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 3: game actually, ironically enough.

441
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: But the whole point of this is to say, no,

442
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: Rizzo was a fine member of the Cubs organization. Congratulations,

443
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: But the whole marketing thing was like, come breathe the

444
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: air of twenty sixteen. Well, no, it's twenty twenty five.

445
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to breathe the air of twenty I

446
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: don't want to breath the air of twenty sixteen. It's

447
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. And while the Cubs are playing the

448
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: violin in the background, that sappy.

449
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: Violin music as they roll out the highlight reel, the.

450
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: Fluff piece, and they're essentially selling bottled air from twenty sixteen.

451
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 3: That's what this is.

452
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 1: It's all about the heartstrings and the people saying, well,

453
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: retire's number, retire's number, and you know, just keep the

454
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: cash register, Hummond and memory Lane, all that good stuff.

455
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: But you need an Anthony Rizzo ice bucket to the face.

456
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: Reality check here.

457
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: If you look at the precedent, and I'm against retiring anyone's.

458
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: Number, I think the whole thing's lame.

459
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: But if you are in the camp of retiring numbers,

460
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: there have to be some standards. You can't be like

461
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: the Yankees and retire everyone's number, right, it's embarrassing, or

462
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: the Celtics or the Lakers, it's so embarrassing. But the

463
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: Cubs have a president, Ernie Banks, mister Baseball, Ryan Sandberg who.

464
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 3: Just passed away not that long ago, Greg Maddox, Ron Santo,

465
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams.

466
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the list. Those all of them are

467
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: Hall of famers. Most of them are hardball immortals. And

468
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: Andre Dawson, who is a better Cub, didn't play as

469
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: long as you gotta go with a better Cub than

470
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Rizzo. Dawson doesn't have his number retired, and I

471
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: believe he's a Hall of Famer. He actually works in

472
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: the same business now, Andre Dawson. If you're old, you

473
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: know who he is. He played baseball a long time ago.

474
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: For he played so long ago. Was a team called

475
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the Montreal Expos when he played. But Andre Dawson now

476
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: is an undertaker. He has the job that our friend

477
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Hayes has in Minnesota, not quite the same exact job,

478
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: but he works at a mortuary. So anyway, this whole

479
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: thing is the riglely Ivy effect your wrapper. You know,

480
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: anything in Ivy you put a retro font on it,

481
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: and the Cub fan will.

482
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 7: Eat it up.

483
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: They will eat it up. It comes.

484
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: Actually, don't have a bad team this year. They don't

485
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: hear to have a championship team. And they're not a

486
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: bad team. And you know, everyone seems to have a

487
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: playoff shot. The Cubs are right there on that big

488
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: mix in the in the playoff field. But they'll sell

489
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: you the same old walk down Clark Street there and

490
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: the yellow brick road. And it's a brilliant business model.

491
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: And so it's not so much selling baseball, you're selling

492
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: the nostalgia with stuff like this. And as far as

493
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: the whole number retirement thing, I know that most teams

494
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: are obsessed with this and just will retire numbers because

495
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: they can't help themselves. They have no control. It's out, yeah,

496
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: and it's it's off the hook. To me, though, you

497
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: should try to pee like the Dallas Cowboys. Well, I

498
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: would just say the Cowboys. The Cowboys have never retired

499
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: a number. They have never retired number. They have a

500
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: ring of honor and the malor advice, unsolicited malle advice.

501
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: How about ring around the rosie or in this case,

502
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: ring around the ivy and just put a ring of

503
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: honor around Wrigley Field and say, all right, we have

504
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: a haul, we have the number retirement.

505
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 3: We're done doing that, and so from now on we're

506
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: gonna have a ring of honor. Boom.

507
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: And you can even put it outside the stadium on

508
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: one of those rooftops with the Cubs bought and give

509
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: Rizzo a plaque and have a bobblehead day and there

510
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: you go. Problem solved, just like that, all right now

511
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: page two to Anaheim, we go, Yes, Anaheim, I saw this.

512
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 3: Oh you gotta be kidding me.

513
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: So a report out from the baseball insider crowd that

514
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: it is most likely not going to be a return

515
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: to Ron Washington next season. Now, there's still a chance

516
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: he comes back, but more likely than not, Ron Washington

517
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: will be elevated. He had a major heart major bypasserger,

518
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: I believe, and so most likely he will just get

519
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: an advisor role and that's it. And so the Angels

520
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: will have a new manager next year. So how do

521
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: you digest the report that the Halos are being tied

522
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: to Albert Poohos, Yes, that Albert Poohos, who played for

523
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: the team and really stole money from the team for

524
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: years and was terrible. And the possibility that they will

525
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: go back to Mike Sosha remember him, He's been out

526
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: of baseball for several years. But they could turn back

527
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: to Mike Sosher, the guy that was the skipper when

528
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: they finally won the World Series back in the day.

529
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: So how do I digest this?

530
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 1: It is the theater of the absurd in Anaheim, the

531
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Angels, of Disneyland, of Turos, of eternal irrelevance,

532
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: all of that, and we don't talk about this guy

533
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: because the Angels are irrelevant.

534
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 3: We have apathy.

535
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: But Artie Marino is doing cosplay as Jerry Jones and

536
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: failing miserably. He's chasing headlines. A lot of the moves

537
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: the Angels maker to chase headlines, and he's like addicted

538
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: to the shiny object. And he's running the Angels like

539
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: a bad Vegas lounge act. And he even did the

540
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: fake head fake thing where he's like, I'm gonna sell

541
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: the team. Psych I'm not selling the team bringing back

542
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: Mike Sosher though, why not go get a shovel, dig

543
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: up Genautry.

544
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 3: You can't do that.

545
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: Bring back the ghost of Gene Autry. Trot his ass

546
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: out there on opening day twenty twenty six, and he

547
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: can sarenade Mike Soosha as he gets back into the

548
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: doug out back in the saddle again. And the Angels,

549
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: they might as well just tire my guy, Kawhi Leonard.

550
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: We know Kawhi loves no show jobs. Managing the Angels

551
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: is a no show job. You're a mascot in a hoodie.

552
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: You're a Walmart greeter with a lineup card. In fact,

553
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they have another. The Angel should

554
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: get Turtle Wax as a sponsor. The manager should have

555
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: a patch that says turtle Wax right on the uniform there,

556
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: because when you're managing the Angels, you spend about six

557
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: months of the year polishing turds. That's what you're doing.

558
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: That's it. It's the organizational philosophy.

559
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: And they had Mike Trout and Showyotani in the same

560
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: lineup to Hall of Famers for multiple seasons, and they

561
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: managed to be irrelevant by.

562
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: Labor Day every single year. It's fascinating.

563
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: That is not a bug in the system. That is

564
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: an entire operating error, is what that is. That's a

565
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: software issue. There's a trojan horse in the software. And

566
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: hiring Albert Pools or bringing back Mike Sosher or I

567
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: don't know, go find Joe Madden somewhere in Margaritaville somewhere.

568
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: None of it matters. It's like asking a cord Don

569
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: Blue chef to cook an award winning meal and the

570
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: ingredients are kibbles and bits and catnip the Angels at

571
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: this point. They don't even need a manager. They don't

572
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 1: they need an exorcism, is what they need. Get some

573
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: holy water, some garlic clothes, all of it. Until then,

574
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: as the Great Donnie Brasco said, forget about it.

575
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: Remember this, the Angels could hire.

576
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm convinced they could hire the Pope as the manager,

577
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: the Dali Lama could be the third base coach, and

578
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: the tooth Fairy could be the hitting coach, and they'd

579
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: still finish in fourth place.

580
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: In the American League West.

581
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: That's the way they are now, one final final point

582
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: while I'm at it. So I saw this and I

583
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: thought it was worthy of a mention. Staying at the

584
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: Big A. This guy was the biggest deal in baseball.

585
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: Who didn't want to be the biggest deal in baseball?

586
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: Mike Trout. Remember, Mike Trout was the top player in baseball,

587
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: and he hated He's like like an introvert. Didn't want

588
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: to deal with the media, didn't want and didn't want

589
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: to do interviews. So Mike Trout has gone. Based on

590
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: the Angels Twins game, which took place on Wednesday, Mike

591
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: Trout has now gone. I believe that math is right

592
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: on this one hundred and twenty three played appearances, twenty

593
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: eight games without hitting home run. He's sitting on three

594
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: ninety eight. His previous longest drought was one hundred and

595
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: seventeen played appearances.

596
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 3: That was a decade ago.

597
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: So question, what do you make of Mike Trout and

598
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: his collapse in Anaheim.

599
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: So it's kind of.

600
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: Like watching Superman walk around and he's got a neck

601
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: brace and he's limping it.

602
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: It's kind of like that, like this is brutal.

603
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: Mike Trout has been locked in since August sixth over

604
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: a month now on that same home run total, and

605
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: we know he's got that rare like it's a spinal

606
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: tap spinal condition thing there. He's basically the world's most

607
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: expensive day to day player. He's on that twelve year

608
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: contract for four hundred million dollars and I believe he's

609
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: got five years left. He will be thirty eight, Mike Trout,

610
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: and he's already a shell of what he was and

611
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: his salad days and the angels are handcuffed.

612
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: They're handcuffed to Mike Trout.

613
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: Now, they are really nice handcuffs, like a Rolex pair

614
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: of solid gold handcuffs really solid, really good handcuffs.

615
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: Right.

616
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: They also have a ball and chain which it's got

617
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: the Angel logo on it.

618
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: So it's okay, they've got the Angel logo.

619
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Yah, yeah, I know, I know. It's pretty exciting. So

620
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: they've got that going for him. But they're stuck. They're stuck,

621
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: and you cannot build a round Mike Trout anymore. You

622
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: cannot depend on Mike Trout anymore. He's played actually a

623
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: lot of games this year by Mike Trout standards. And

624
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: here's where things get interesting, right where the rubber meets

625
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: the road.

626
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 3: ARTI Marino cannot cannot quit these guys. He can't.

627
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: I And people said, well, they're gonna trade Trout because

628
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: he's not a lead guy.

629
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: He can be a good number three guy, Like you

630
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 3: have two stars, he's your third star. You can be

631
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 3: pretty good. But they had Otani.

632
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Everyone knew that Otani was gonna leave the Angels because

633
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: they were they didn't know what they were doing.

634
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: And instead of.

635
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: Trading Otani and saying we'll get some for him, they

636
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: just kept Otani because they got all that Japanese advertising,

637
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: which the Dodgers are obsessed with, by the way, Oh

638
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: my god, they are sucking every dollar they can out

639
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: of the Japanese economy. But and I don't blame him.

640
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: I do the same thing. But anyway, Otani left as

641
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: a free agent, and that means that based on that,

642
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: Mike Trout is not going anywhere, Like even if teams

643
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: called the ends up, like Marino is going to Artie,

644
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: Marino is going to have to eat a bunch of

645
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: money just to get Trout out there, and he's.

646
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna do it.

647
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: I can't see him doing it, even though the Halos

648
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: could absolutely get offers and they could entice the Philadelphia

649
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: Phillies to bite on Trout from Jersey, but you know

650
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: in the Philadelphia part of Jersey, Southern Jersey, so I

651
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: believe he grew up a Phillies fan. And then the

652
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: Yankees are always there. They love Falling Stars, they can't

653
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: get enough of them. They're ready for the Falling Stars

654
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: challenge and all that.

655
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: So you find a.

656
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: Sucker who still believes that Mike Trout's got enough star

657
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 1: dust to justify acquiring him. And then the Phillies are

658
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: chasing rainbows and they're at a weird point now if

659
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: they don't win this year. They've got an older team,

660
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of players that are going to leave in

661
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: free agency or could leave in free agency. So they

662
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: got to sign Schober he's going to be a free agent.

663
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: They've got Bryce Harper, he's getting older now. And so

664
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: if you can put Trout out there with those guys

665
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: and Castellanos leaves, for example, that would make some sense

666
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: that the Yankees, they would be trying to resurrect Mike

667
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: Trout like their doctor Frankenstein if he went to the Bronx.

668
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: And you look at the comps on this, if.

669
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: You take the name away, if you take the Mike

670
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: Trout name away, and did the blind Pepsi challenge, the

671
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: blind soda challenge, Mike Trout his production offensively this season

672
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: is on the same level with Isaac Parides of the

673
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: Astros and Jonathan Arnda of the Tampa Bay Rays, who

674
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: exactly these are not household names. They make chicken feed

675
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: compared to what Mike Trout makes. He's being fed like

676
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: a whale. He's being fed like a whale, and they're

677
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: being fed like a crab on the beach, a little

678
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: sand crab and the halo. Listen, we not to flog

679
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: a dead halo. But they're deep in a deep dark

680
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: place and they're not good. They're not bad. They're just

681
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: stuck on this treadmill of mediocrity. And more probably they're

682
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: a relevant while the Dodgers are in this golden era

683
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: where they make the playoffs every year, and if they

684
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: I can't imagine not.

685
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 3: Making the playoffs.

686
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,760

690
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: This is one big Ben gets grilled cool.

691
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 6: Now.

692
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: I know it's only been one week, Ben, but it's

693
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 4: being reported that kickoff returns are way up so far

694
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 4: this season thanks to the new rule moving touchbacks to

695
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 4: the thirty five yard line. But as the NFL finally

696
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 4: fixed kickoffs.

697
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: A small sample size, coop, small sample size, it was,

698
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: let's put it this way, week one, it was not

699
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: a useless play and for several years in the end,

700
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: actually more than several years, like you just didn't need

701
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: to watch kickoffs because it just nothing ever happened.

702
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 3: So that's a time to go get snacks. That's not

703
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 3: a time to pay attention. But now, yeah, it's one

704
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: week so at this point we do the show today, Coop,

705
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go.

706
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 9: Yes.

707
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 4: Next, the Toronto Blue Jays are only a few games

708
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 4: ahead of the Yankees in the Al East, and they

709
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 4: just had to put their star shortstop Bobaschett on the il.

710
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 4: Do you think they'll be able to hold off the

711
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 4: Bronx Bombers.

712
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: Well, if you've seen the way the Yankees have played

713
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 1: this week, getting just destroyed by the by the Detroit Tedger,

714
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: the Yankees are a flawed baseball team, so Toronto's not

715
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 1: great either. But based on side by side the Yankees,

716
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: all they do is hit home runs. If they don't

717
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: hit home runs, they really don't win very often at all.

718
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: They showed some weaknesses in their bullpen here, so yeah,

719
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: oh god.

720
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: Next, A rold As Chapman has been on an insane

721
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 4: run for the Boston Red Sox. He was till yesterday,

722
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 4: well before that, it was seventeen straight appearances without allowing

723
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 4: a hit, only one run last thirty seven games.

724
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

725
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 7: Do you think chapman success this year secures him a

726
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 7: spot in the Hall.

727
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: No, No, He's got a lot of baggage. And he

728
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's one of those borderline guys. He's got

729
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: some Hall of Fame numbers. Now, if the Red Sox

730
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: going to run in the playoffs and he's lights out,

731
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: then you can revisit this. But he's still borderline Hall

732
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: of fame even with this renaissance, and he's been great.

733
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: He already signed for next year. The Red Sox already

734
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: signed Chapman to an extension. All right there, it is

735
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: mallor to the third degree. He got lit up by

736
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: the A's And how did we do pass this edition?

737
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: That is one again? Take that, Justin and Cincinnati, I

738
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,479

Speaker 5: of the questions and the Kooper loop.

753
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna start off with a question from

754
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: Shane in Des Moines. He would like to know where

755
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 4: were you during the nine to eleven attacks. This is

756
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: for the whole crew.

757
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, So I was working here at Fox Sports Radio.

758
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 6: I was actually doing updates at that time. I was

759
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 6: working on the Fox lot on Fairfax in West West

760
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 6: l A.

761
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 9: And we were, you know.

762
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 10: We just I did did news updates during the day

763
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 10: and then they they were worried actually that there was

764
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 10: they were going to.

765
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 6: Attack the Fox.

766
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 10: Studios, the TV, the movie studios over there.

767
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 6: So then they started like evacuating people, but they didn't

768
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,479
Speaker 6: evacuate us because we had.

769
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 10: To stay on the air and all that. It was.

770
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 6: It was a crazy day, obviously, but I was working

771
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 6: at Fox Sports Radio doing updates and uh yeah, I

772
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 6: will always remember that, obviously. That was one of the

773
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 6: big days in my life.

774
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 5: What about you and Loraina?

775
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 6: What were you doing way back on nine to eleven?

776
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, I was walking to my third grade

777
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 11: class and oh my god, and I remember stopping at

778
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 11: missus Summer's class and everyone was staring at the TVs

779
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 11: and I was like, what's going on? And my teacher

780
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 11: was just crying, and I was like, oh, this is serious.

781
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was really young.

Speaker 10: Yea, oh wow, I get you. That's that's like an

Speaker 10: An age flex?

785
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 3: What that is?

786
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 6: I often remember when I woke up. I had an

787
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 6: early shift, and I mean I was working nights mostly

788
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 6: back then, but I had to do an early shift

789
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 6: and I still remember my alarm went off and I

790
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 6: heard you.

791
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 10: I was a clock radio back then, and I had

792
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 10: there was.

793
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 6: An emergency broadcast alert because it was in between the

794
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 6: first plane and the second plane. And I remember hearing

795
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 6: the emergency broadcast thing. I was like, I thought I

796
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 6: was dreaming because I had never been activated in my life.

797
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 7: And do you hear that?

798
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 12: When?

799
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 7: Do you ever hear that?

800
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 10: Well, that was the only time I've ever heard it.

801
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 10: I don't know, maybe it's been activated since then, but

802
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 10: that was it. So I remember that too. I was like,

803
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 10: I thought I was dreaming. I was like, it's in

804
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 10: the same what about you?

805
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 9: Cool?

806
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that when it happened, I was I

807
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 4: was sleeping.

808
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was like five in the morning.

809
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, But then I do remember my mom waking me up.

810
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 4: She was on the phone with my grandma, who uh

811
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 4: lived in Brooklyn her entire life, and so she was

812
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 4: like giving the play by play to my mom over

813
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 4: the phone. And then my Mom's like, we're under attack,

814
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 4: and I'm like, what what is happening? Uh?

815
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 7: Yeah?

816
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 4: And then we still went to school and it was

817
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 4: just it was weird. It was a weird vibe that

818
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 4: entire day.

819
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

820
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 9: I also remember my my brother lives in Manhattan.

821
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 6: So not that far away, you know, he doesn't live

822
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 6: down on the southern part of that. But my mom

823
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 6: makes you rest me. She was freaking out because my

824
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 6: sister in law was pregnant at the time, and she

825
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 6: was like, oh my god, like that made it even worse.

826
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 10: So I just everyone was panicking that day anyway.

827
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 6: All right, if that's been your questions are answers for

828
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 6: the rest of the hour.

829
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 10: What is next?

830
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 9: What do we have next year?

831
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 4: Lady Sideburns, Hi, Lady Sideburns would like to know have

832
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 4: any of you ever tried dog or cat food?

833
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 10: Why?

834
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 6: Why?

835
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 10: Why would you?

836
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 5: No? No, I'm not no.

837
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 10: I think a better question would be.

838
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 5: A better question would be, if you were to eat

839
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 5: dog or.

840
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 6: Cat food, would you eat the wet variety or the

841
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 6: other variety?

842
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 10: Like, which variety would you eat? If you were to

843
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 10: eat the food, I think you've got to eat the

844
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 10: country variety, I think right.

845
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 4: Well, I think based off the look Lorena and I shared,

846
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 4: I think both of our answers are different from yours.

847
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, Lorena, so you know those brothers I talked about

848
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 12: with the spit, Yeah, they used to hold me down

849
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 12: and shove Bagan strips in my mouth.

850
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 3: How old were you?

851
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 8: Oh?

852
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 12: Seven, eight six five?

853
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 10: You still this is a traumatic memory? You still remember this?

854
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:40,959
Speaker 5: Yeah?

855
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 7: And then you know I used to just share them

856
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 7: with my dog.

857
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 11: After that, we'd kind of just lay in the backyard

858
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 11: and share some began strips.

859
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 10: Oh my god, so you like to taste them off?

860
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 12: You kept eating the worst things I've had worse.

861
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, well you could look like that.

862
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 4: Well, I guess, I guess mine's the worst because you

863
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 4: were being forest.

864
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 9: I know.

865
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 7: I tried. I just when I was a kid.

866
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 4: I was like, I'll try it, like I don't know,

867
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,479
Speaker 4: And I tried both the wet and the dry food.

868
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 7: What about wet cat food? Though you haven't done that.

869
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 7: I know I haven't tried cat food, crossing the line.

870
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 7: I didn't have a cat until I was an adult.

871
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 7: So do you ever smell it in wonder?

872
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 4: No, not with the caf food. The caf food smells disgusting.

873
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 4: But but that's what made me try the dog food

874
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: as a kid. Like you would open the web and

875
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 4: I thought that smells kind of good. I was like, yeah,

00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 7: The question is about the sheet.

941
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 11: That's what I'm saying all the way up under the sheets. Right,

942
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 11: it's whether it's it's really coold or not. And if

943
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 11: it's not, I'll just get underneath the regular sheet on

944
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 11: top of my bed.

945
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 10: Okay, who did not like your ankle?

946
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 4: I'm just like you know, because it's different. I'm always

947
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 4: underneath the sheet. My wife is always on top of

948
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: the sheet. It creates problems.

949
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 11: It's very wid he misplaced his anger.

950
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 6: There's a wall, there's a divide between you and then she.

951
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 4: She'll toss and turn and it screws up the bed sheets.

952
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 4: And then so then when I go to get in bed,

953
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 4: like I can't get under the sheet, and I always

954
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 4: needs to be under the sheet, no matter the season.

955
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 4: In the summertime, when it's too hot, I'll just I'll

956
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 4: just take the the we'll take the comforter off.

957
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 7: The bed and it's just the sheet.

Speaker 10: Yeah.

959
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 7: But no matter what, I'm under the sheet.
