11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: As the big Voice guy said, there is no Smith.

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 4: He is gone and gallivanting. Therefore, like Keith Richards, I'm

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 4: saddling up, sidling up to the big microphone in the spotlight.

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 4: I'll sing you a couple of songs over the course

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 4: of the week with some guest stars. First up, coming

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: off the left of the stage, our guy Chris Plank

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: at Plank Show. You hear him on the weekends with

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: our guy Arnie Spanier. He's been doing yeomen's work between

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 4: his college football and softball work and then four straight

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: days here on the network. So let's see if he

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: sounds like his aforementioned colleague, Arnie Spander. It's Chris Blank

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 4: what's going on, Chris.

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 5: Come on, man, four days in a row is child's

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 5: play here? It's it's all good, Jayson, God already fire.

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 5: Well you get it out of the way early, then

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 5: you're good. It's been good man. We're getting close to football.

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 5: The countdown is on. We got a game next Thursday

28
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 5: that everyone will be excited about and then they'll grinch

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 5: about two plays in because no one's playing, of course,

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 5: and then we're less than gosh, we're less than a

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 5: month really away from the start of the first Saturday

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 5: of college football. So game on, Micha. Let's have some fun.

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: Tonight should be a fun week for you. You do have

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 5: a very I guess I should say, like rotating. It's

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 5: an electic mix that' you're gonna say. There's no settling

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: into a comfort zone. Is that in the contract? You

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 5: gotta have someone different every day. You can't just say hey,

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 5: I like Plank or I like Buyer. I know you

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 5: wouldn't like Arnie, but you just say, hey, that's the

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 5: person I want to be with every day.

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: Is that contractually? So it stays fresh?

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, maybe Jason's got that in because it's

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: in place of him, But you know, for me, I

44
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 4: kind of throw it up. Scott and I come up

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 4: with a you know, cursory list, and then we see

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: how it falls out based on availability, based on other

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: needs at the network or people's other jobs and attending

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: to so they're in. It becomes a all right, here's

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 4: what the computer spits back out.

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 5: That is the boos very much like Dave Roberts very much. Well,

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 5: you just throw it in there and then it gives

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 5: you the lineup. By the way, I got to get

53
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 5: on that level. I have never not once had Scott

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: be like, hey, man, who you want. I gotta get

55
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 5: on that level like you Harmon I and Arnie you know,

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 5: runs the network. That's what he tells me. Yeah, right,

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: So I got to find that level.

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: Good stuff. Man, We'll pumped to be here. Should be

59
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: an awesome kind of a big deal in my own mind.

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 4: If that's what else. Glad to have you with as

61
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: we've got some college football we can get to with

62
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: some of the media days out there and some of

63
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: the rumor conjecture speculation a two hundred and fifty million

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: dollars to ken BEI mutumble like rejection from one conference

65
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: to a would be member earlier. But we'll start where

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: I know your heart is, and that is also the

67
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 4: same spot on my guy Justin Frostberg, who's just those

68
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: ten days away from that Hall of Fame game, and

69
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: his guy Antonio Gates going in, our guy Steve Disager,

70
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: who's at the news desk, who you know all too well.

71
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 4: And of course for you, Melker, I've lived in Los

72
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: Angeles a long time. I'm a White Sox fan, so

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: the fact that they're actually scoring run is a very

74
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: exciting thing.

75
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: But let's talk about the Dodgers.

76
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the defending champion and all the chaos

77
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: that has ensued. Tonight is mystery grab Bag Championship ring night,

78
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: where you can get one of five players. It's a

79
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 4: pretty good looking replica of the World Series ring. That's cool.

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: Sho heeo Tani is on the mound, that's fantastic. We've

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: got Freddie Freeman. He's gonna be in the lineup, but

82
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: he tells people he thinks he's figured out in a

83
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: sleepless night how to fix his swing. Meanwhile, Mooki Bets

84
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: just said I don't know when asked about his continued

85
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: struggles going all the way back to the weight loss

86
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: and mystery illness that started the season. So all of

87
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: that things, all of those things converge into tonight, Chris,

88
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: the swoon of the Dodgers, the inability to get over

89
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: against winning teams, overall being owned by the Milwaukee Brewers.

90
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: And then last night, just after yesterday afternoon, I should say,

91
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: here West Coast time, after all of the positivity and

92
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: grab ass that Clayton Kershaw played during the All Star Game,

93
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: he was back to being red ass. Clayton Kershaw, throwing

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: his glove and refusing to comment, figuring he'd get himself

95
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: in trouble after several errors were committed in the field

96
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: to base running gaffs and everything else, and all of

97
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: a sudden, every string that was pulled right a year

98
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 4: ago looks like it's been snapped along the way, as

99
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: if we were in some horror movie.

100
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: For the Dodgers this season.

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 5: They're struggling, and they were struggling before the end of

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 5: the first half. Disager had this note last night, and

103
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: it absolutely blew my mind. Mookie Bets in July is

104
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: hitting just ten to fifty three, just ten. And again,

105
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 5: this isn't all on Mookie. I don't know how a

106
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: team that appears to have so much talent can be

107
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: this enough defensively and antipaus death. He makes this spectacular

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: play and then has the one that I still don't

109
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 5: know how he missed it. I've tried to watch that

110
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 5: thing five or six. I don't know if he got

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 5: caught in the lights. I don't know what his excuse was.

112
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 5: And then you again, you mentioned Freeman's in the lineup tonight,

113
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: So that's good, but you know, glassnow gives you a

114
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: real What's frustrating about the suite to the Brewers is

115
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 5: that Tyler Glasnew gave you something, Mike. He gave you

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 5: something that was a solid outing from him and his

117
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 5: first what opportunity since April Frostbury. I think that's right.

118
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 5: But you got something from your staff that you hadn't

119
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 5: consistently got this year. You got to do that took

120
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: me on the fourth. So it's a very confusing time.

121
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: I think was the hot streak of product of just

122
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 5: playing no offense to the White Sox, but just a

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 5: stretch of not very good baseball teams right where you

124
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 5: look back saying, oh they won, like for it, they're good.

125
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 5: But then you realize they're now going up against good teams.

126
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 5: Brewers are tied for first skate of twins. Not so much,

127
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 5: they're they're in trouble right now in the American League Central.

128
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 5: But this is where you need to get right. And

129
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 5: it leads to a longer term question for me, which

130
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 5: is simply, are the Dodgers back? Are they going to

131
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: be a dominant team? Is this one of those things

132
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: that guys get healthy and you're ready to go in

133
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 5: the postseason or has it kind of dropped a bit

134
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 5: because of the struggles and maybe some guys have, you know,

135
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 5: not really lived up to the expectations. Injuries are killing

136
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: this team right now, which I Mike that being so

137
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: consistent with this team over the last couple of years

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: is absolutely mind boggling. It just makes no sense to me.

139
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 5: But I bring that up with NFL teams all the time.

140
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 5: I did it with the Chargers much and I used

141
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 5: to get things thrown at me by Frostburg for doing

142
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 5: so and so many other teams, the Ravens for years,

143
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: like what's going on in your training rooms.

144
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: Right where you were this year after year?

145
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 4: And I know the Dodgers, given the financial resources at

146
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: their disposal, they can generally buy their way out of trouble,

147
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: and certainly we'll see in the next two weeks what

148
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: that could be. And yes, you got everybody getting ready

149
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: to ride back into the mix, be it Blake Snell

150
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: or some of these others who have been waiting Glass

151
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 4: now who you mentioned. But will he make his next start?

152
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

153
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 4: We've seen him. Ask out right, we've seen those issues

154
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: through the bat how does he recover five days later? Otani?

155
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: How much will you really be able to stretch him out?

156
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: We've seen three innings. How far does that go?

157
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: Tonight?

158
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: He's going to start this game and then we'll see

159
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: Dustin May again. But it just you're bringing up the

160
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: injury issue. I mean last year they navigated it about

161
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: as well as you could.

162
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: I mean they.

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: Pulled the string at every turn, all those starting pitchers,

164
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: all of the relief appearances, and the opener with Keith

165
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: a Hernandez, although now he's got an injury to his

166
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: off arm so he can't do any of that. But

167
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: all of that to say, I mean, you've navigated through it.

168
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: But as much as you marvel at what because they're

169
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: still in first place and you've got San diego chasing

170
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: and we'll see what happens. They finally got a good

171
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: start out of do Yeah, no, that's just it. You

172
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: got these teams hanging around, and when we go to

173
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: strength and schedule, well, Dodgers have the fourth quote easiest

174
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: path remaining a lot of losing squads coming up here

175
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: series for series, so some opportunity maybe to create some

176
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: distance again, but banking on full health and for every

177
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: turn in the analytics to work right again, it's a

178
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 4: dangerous proposition and flirtation. And if they don't get right

179
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: hitting wise, I mean you brought up the PA has

180
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: a fielding issue and then base running one oh one.

181
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 4: I mean we're seeing on display time and again with

182
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: the squad some of the fundamentals have just gone out

183
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: the window.

184
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: But the injury issues is something.

185
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 4: That I think from an organizational standpoint, you got to

186
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: pull back and just try to figure out what in

187
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: your training processes. Even if you have been really good

188
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: at picking up the reclamation projects from other squads, you

189
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 4: know what's going on, what's in the water for your

190
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 4: own organization. Because while you can buy your way out,

191
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: it's a dangerous way to live, but.

192
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 5: It's still it's pretty cool to see show hee Otani's

193
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: he just jogs out to no matter that this thing started.

194
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 5: It's it's a very it's not necessarily a full sigh

195
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 5: of relief, but it's one of those.

196
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: All right.

197
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 5: I took my tongue so the indigestion went away for

198
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 5: a little bit. See him out there for a couple

199
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: of innings. Now, is he only going three tonight? I

200
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: thought they were going to try to push him.

201
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 4: They may try to stretch. I think it's going to

202
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: be dependent on on the pitch count and ease. Right,

203
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: we talked about stressful out stressful innings, and the fact

204
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 4: that the first pitch got tattooed for a home run

205
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: is probably not the ur second pitch of the game.

206
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: He goes sailing out Byron Buxton, is twenty three home

207
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 4: run of the year. All right, Recess, that's great start,

208
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: a great start. Well, you have him a fatball exit

209
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 4: velocity of about one hundred and five miles.

210
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: An hour, so now you know when you're struggling, let's

211
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 5: just go ahead and have the bottom completely fallout. But

212
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: I still it'll be very interesting to see what the

213
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 5: moves are coming up in a couple of weeks now

214
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 5: with the trade deadline, you know, it's still because of

215
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 5: the job their front office is done. And not to

216
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 5: like completely dodge your home or out, but it's still

217
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 5: one of the top prospects, one of the top farm

218
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 5: systems in all of Major League Baseball? And you know,

219
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 5: do you start risking some of that? Do you really

220
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: swing for the fences? Do you call Pittsburgh and say,

221
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 5: all right, what do you want for Paul Skiings?

222
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: You know actually won today, Chris, I saw that, you know,

223
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: that first one since May twenty eighth?

224
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: How about that?

225
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 5: So hold on, I just want to give you an

226
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 5: idea how behind my feet is for the game right now?

227
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: Boom Byron Buxton just hit a home run. It's one Minnesota,

228
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 5: but it's a h It really is kind of a

229
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 5: fascinating time to decide if your buyers are selves and

230
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 5: not just for the Dodgers. Right look at the Red

231
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 5: Sox and are you satisfied with just kind of battling

232
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 5: for that wild card? Is that where you want to be?

233
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 5: Or do you think, hey, I can get a little

234
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 5: bit more and and maybe if we get in the

235
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 5: wild card, great, but then we're set for the future.

236
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

237
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 5: I know this, the Dodgers are not a team that's

238
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: going to be in any other mode than buying. They're

239
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 5: gonna be out there trying to find the pieces that fit.

240
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: If it's if it's getting a third basement, if it's

241
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 5: getting involved in schemes or another starter, if they have

242
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 5: to truly go and find themselves a closer.

243
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what it.

244
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: Is, but Mike, there's there's no if, ans or butts

245
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: about it. This is one of those that it's kind

246
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 5: of hard to explain away with just how bad it's

247
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 5: been for the Dodgers.

248
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: Struggle bus has certainly been there. And what's funny is,

249
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 4: you know you get the shot and freud of it

250
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 4: all where folks are gonna be very excitable because you

251
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: got to explain that one to me, The shot and

252
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: that is taking joy in the misery of others.

253
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't have to google that.

254
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: There's a whole do it in song form from Avenue

255
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: Q I'm a Publisher, which which I have always described

256
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 4: since seeing it off Broadway many years ago as the

257
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: Muppets on crack Okay, and they have a whole song

258
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: about schadenfreude. So you can go run with that one

259
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: a little bit as you will.

260
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, who said we wouldn't learn something tonight on

261
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 5: the show I'm here for.

262
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: Oh No, We're gonna teach a lot of stuff. We're

263
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: speaking wisdom into the microphone here. Thank you wherever you're listening, however,

264
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: you're listening on one of our five hundred affiliates nationwide

265
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 4: on the iHeartRadio app. Take us with you wherever you go. Evangelize,

266
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: send us to your family and friend. We're trying for

267
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: global expansion. As always, we love to put the little

268
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: pins on the map wherever we can, so you can

269
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: get us at Plank Show, at Swollen Dome, at Fox

Speaker 4: Sports Radio. We'd love to know where you are and

271
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 4: how you're listening, and whether you're enjoying some of the

272
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: current struggles of the Los Angeles Dodgers. We coined them

273
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: the Evil Empire several years ago. As you know, we

274
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: are ahead of the curve once the buying spree really

275
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: started going. And to your point about the wild card,

276
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: that's the beauty and the horror of all of this

277
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: stuff when you get to the trade deadline, Because once

278
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: upon a time you knew where that dividing line was right.

279
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 4: And now you start looking at well, here's our expected schedule,

280
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: here's the guys coming back from injury. Here's all that.

281
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: I'm a White Sox fan. I just want them to

282
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 4: play spoiler to somebody. I don't care who pick a

283
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: name out of the hat, that one team gets wrecked

284
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: because of us.

285
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: That's my goal. I just I was looking. Do you

286
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: let's see here, White Sox, We're thirty games under five hundred. Okay, okay,

287
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: join it.

288
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: They just swept the Pirates. GM was getting fired because

289
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: of them. So you got that. They were beating up

290
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 4: on the Rays the last I saw. Now, my screens

291
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: are replete with images of sho Heyo Tani wherever I

292
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 4: look right now. So you got that going for you.

293
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: So but you know, look, the long road begins with

294
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: the first step. I can't be a front runner. I'm

295
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 4: still celebrating two thousand and five. You know that title

296
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: that ESPN refuses to ignore college one of the greatest

297
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: pitching performances in baseball history. That's starting for hell, they

298
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 4: put a statue up of Burley last week. There's my

299
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 4: celebration moment. That's all I got right there, Chris, that's it.

300
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: That's it. I'm living twenty years ago. All right, a

301
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: strikeout for Otani.

302
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 4: Here, we're keeping an eye on this game as it

303
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 4: rolls forward Minnesota with the one dot delayed here in.

304
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: The top of the first.

305
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880

Speaker 6: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

329
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,800

367
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: Who knew? You didn't know and you didn't care?

368
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 7: Actually I did. I saw it somehow popped up on

369
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 7: my Twitter. But what I didn't know is like that

370
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 7: they're like and special guests like Rudy McNuggets or whatever,

371
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 7: like whoever the special guy. I'm like, I totally don't

372
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 7: know this person. I'm like, I don't know. Did I

373
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 7: know this person? Like? Is this that big in Canada?

374
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 7: I don't know, you know, because they're Canadian. But yeah,

375
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 7: if you seriously though, if you see like the promo stuff,

376
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 7: there's like this other guy who they're with, who's wearing

377
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 7: like an old school Houston Oilers jersey, and I'm like,

378
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 7: don't know that guy. I am unfortunately familiar with Nickelback.

379
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go do the deep dive of

380
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: what's going on there.

381
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys probably know him, like you guys.

382
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 7: I mean, it's good to be me an old man thing.

383
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 7: But AnyWho, I'm.

384
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: Right there with you.

385
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 4: Hey, you want to start with some Lloyd Howell fun

386
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: Now he's now he's his other job. You go through

387
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: the expense reports JC Tretter, He's no longer gonna seek

388
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: a job in this process.

389
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 3: Demorris Smith.

390
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 4: I haven't read the book yet, but does this mean

391
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 4: he was complicit or just dumb.

392
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 7: No, jeez, you're gonna put You're gonna put Lloyd Howell

393
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 7: on him. I mean, I I don't think Hell, I'll

394
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 7: see how you can do that.

395
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: Well, just say it in terms of the overall union

396
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 4: ineptitude and some of those discussions about guarantee that.

397
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 7: Right now, I'm picturing d Smith like that Kermit Defrogg

398
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 7: meme of him sitting back to sipping his teake. I mean,

399
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 7: de Smith, like, look how it looks. I mean, Jesus,

400
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 7: you can say to one about him having a replace

401
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 7: a legend, you know what I mean, Like, hey, you

402
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 7: got a place, and he was never gonna be it

403
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 7: for everybody. And he certainly had his faults, and that

404
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 7: union remains the weakest of the professional sports unions, despite

405
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 7: the sport making more money revenue wise than any other

406
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 7: and frankly more than most of them combined. But I

407
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 7: think history won't be quite as unkind to him as

408
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 7: I mean. He came in and was immediately in a

409
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 7: bit of a labor war, and it was one in

410
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 7: which the owners were willing to lock people out. It

411
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 7: was a really tough circumstance and I feel like, yes,

412
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 7: they could have done a lot of things better. But

413
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 7: the number of people who left when d Smith left,

414
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 7: who said now is the time to take my buyout

415
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 7: because this guy coming in looks like a total clown.

416
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 7: It was a charade. How he was elected, it was

417
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 7: everything was a mystery guys themselves. I think some of

418
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 7: them didn't even really know who else they could have

419
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 7: voted for. The process was a sham, and it has

420
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 7: sham results. And whoever takes over is now going to

421
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 7: be I don't know, at most a couple of years

422
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 7: removed from the league, opting out of these TV deals

423
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 7: and you know, having this global turn it into more

424
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 7: of a global sport, and they're going to cram eighteen

425
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 7: games down. People's thoats and franchise tags aren't going anywhere,

426
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 7: and they're going to continue to play more games abroad

427
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 7: than ever before. And I just think they're going to

428
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 7: get whatever they want. And the Union is in an

429
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 7: incredibly vulnerable place right now, far more so than anytime

430
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 7: during D Smith's the controversial tenure.

431
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: I'm not a smart manson, Jason Smith's out on, Chris

432
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 5: Plinkson and Jason Locke for so good to talk to

433
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 5: you man, I'm not a smart dude, so I don't

434
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 5: really know the ins and outs of how this affects

435
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 5: anything now for the Players Association, because it seems as

436
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 5: if what the CBA is in place until at least

437
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 5: twenty thirty, So are we just exhale labor piece.

438
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: We don't have to worry about about strikes or anything.

439
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 7: How does it affect them? I mean, I feel like

440
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 7: if you read the sixty one page document, considering it

441
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 7: was a kangaroo court stacked against them as a special

442
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 7: master who's never going to look the you know, is

443
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 7: never going to throw too many rocks at at the

444
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 7: five million town guerrilla who employs them. But like, I

445
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 7: feel like that collusion case was a win for them.

446
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 7: Then they're so inept and so compromised, and J. C.

447
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 7: Trader acted like such a jackass that they collectively decided

448
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 7: not even to spread the word like that they they

449
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 7: kind of sort of won a collusion case. And then

450
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 7: they're so backwards and and and so myopic that they've

451
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 7: then colluded with the league. They can't mail the fightings.

452
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 7: I mean, you're gonna tell me how it affect the players?

453
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 7: How do you think it affects with Mark Jackson, I'm

454
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 7: more as the fans.

455
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 5: How it affects us watching a day to day. I mean,

456
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 5: we're not gonna have to worry about a lockout or anything.

457
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 5: I mean obviously no, it.

458
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 7: Effects mean well, I mean I don't know, I mean eventually,

459
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 7: I I don't. I mean I can't answer that question

460
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 7: because I don't. I mean, you're I don't know that

461
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 7: this is rock bottom. I can't remember how many times,

462
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 7: like with Jimmy Has I'm running the Browns, I'm like, well,

463
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 7: this has to be rock bottom. You know, it's never

464
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 7: rock bottom, So I don't, I don't. I mean, are

465
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 7: they going to clean up their process?

466
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: Like?

467
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 7: Are they? Is this going to be transparent? It's if

468
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 7: it's not, I mean, how will it affect it if

469
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 7: someone gets in there who doesn't know what they're doing,

470
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 7: Could that, you know, further hasten or prolong a potential

471
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 7: workstopic I don't, I don't know. I mean, is is

472
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 7: the PA going to be ripe with clicks? And is

473
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 7: that going to make it even harder to negotiate? How

474
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 7: empowered will this person be? I mean from a football

475
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 7: day to day watching games, you know, follow the play

476
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 7: all that. No, But in terms of the players, oh,

477
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 7: the players can definitely continue to get hosed, and even

478
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 7: more so than ever by having completely enough leadership at

479
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 7: the helm that doesn't even isn't even smart enough to

480
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 7: know when they've won.

481
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: Because that's always been the question in terms of the

482
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: rank and file, Jason like, where we've got the different

483
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: levels that players are at, salary wise, tenure, and trying

484
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 4: to get everybody on the same path to vote towards

485
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: the same things has always been a challenge. But now

486
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 4: how far removed does someone have to be from the

487
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: institutions to be trusted at this point?

488
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know how to answer that. I mean,

489
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 7: it sounds like the last time around, the reps and

490
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 7: the rank and file weren't even on the same page

491
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 7: as to the process itself. And if we're now led

492
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 7: to believe that the executive Committee didn't even think this

493
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 7: guy was worthy of it in the first place, yet

494
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 7: they passed it along to sort of the popular vote,

495
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 7: I mean, it's hard to speak about because it was

496
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 7: so shrouded in mystery. We didn't even know Moyd how one,

497
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 7: and up until recently most people didn't even know who

498
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 7: the hell he was running again, Like I I don't know.

499
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 7: I mean, he clearly was doing clownish, buffoonish stuff. He

500
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 7: wasn't there that long. This started immediately. How yeah, Like,

501
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 7: how did he ever get that position in the first place?

502
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 7: How much of a leadership vacuum was there? And is there?

503
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 7: You know, do they need to have an independent audit

504
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 7: and some third party come in there and make recommendations?

505
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 7: Like do they need to make it a prerequisite that

506
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 7: whoever they hire next has had significant experience at a

507
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 7: different labor union maybe ideally a sports labor union, and

508
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 7: has been you know, in somewhat of a prominent role,

509
00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 7: whether current or past. Like yeah, I mean and certain, Uh,

510
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 7: there's discord. There's a lack of harmony. I think among

511
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 7: the players. We're talking about what is it right now? Right?

512
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 7: You got ninety guys on rosters, You've got thirty teams.

513
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 7: Do the math. It's a lot of people at various

514
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 7: points in their career, with various earning potential and various

515
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 7: earning past and various earning futures. It's it's it's it's

516
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 7: hard to get them on the same page. I mean,

517
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 7: looks how hard it is to get thirty two billionaires

518
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 7: on the same page, and now we're talking about, you know,

519
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 7: twenty seven hundred guys.

520
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 5: It's gonna be tough. Jason locking for is our guest

521
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 5: all right on the well kind of on the field.

522
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: Stop.

523
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 5: It looks like Michael Parson's gonna be still showing up

524
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 5: at Cowboys camp. But Jerry Jones is doing Jerry Jones things.

525
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 5: The bottom line more than anything else. He usually gets

526
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 5: these deals done. What kind of situation do you feel

527
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 5: like this ends up being for the Cowboys? Do they

528
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 5: get it done? Does it cost him too much? Or

529
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 5: could this one drag.

530
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: On a bit?

531
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 7: No, they'll get it done. They'll get it done, probably

532
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 7: right before this. These stars, Yeah, it'll cost them too much.

533
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 7: They'll have the egg on their face. I'll probably regret

534
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 7: it within a couple of years. It's just the same

535
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 7: old dog and pony show. I mean, like we were

536
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 7: talking last week, Garry eats this stuff up. I mean

537
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 7: the fact that there's all this discord and disharmony, and

538
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 7: then he eventually gives the guy more than anybody else

539
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 7: would have. And so you know that the guy eventually

540
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 7: gets a smile on his face. But the star culture

541
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 7: continues and certain people are propped up and there's an

542
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 7: underbelly to that roster. There's never really cohesion in that

543
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 7: locker room because certain guys are treated like rock stars

544
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 7: and you know, everybody else just there's sort of everybody else.

545
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 7: And you know, I think Jerry's gotten increasingly callous and

546
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 7: slip it with how he talks about injuries and talks

547
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 7: about players worth. And it really kind of started, you know,

548
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 7: around the Kaepernick stuff, and I feel like it's kind

549
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 7: of escalated since then, and he continues to message to

550
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 7: that locker room in a way that I don't think

551
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 7: resonates with a lot of those guys, especially the ones

552
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 7: who aren't being paid his best to breathe in their positions.

553
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean he'll get his, like that got his,

554
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 7: but he'll end up hurting the team because of the

555
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 7: contract structure and because of what else they won't be

556
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 7: able to do. And he just he's just so stuck

557
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 7: in his own ways, and the older he gets, the

558
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 7: more stubborn he gets, and it's his way or the highway,

559
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 7: and it's just going to be another I think, pedestrian

560
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 7: season in Dallas.

561
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 4: Another big effort from US here out on Monday night

562
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 4: from our guy, Jason Lock and for at Jason Lock

563

Speaker 4: see what he's got going on the Wanta bet podcast,

565
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: and so much else than he does one five to

566

00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 7: of that. Take them both on the money line, maybe

573
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 7: Parlam together.

574
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: Malmo is a wonderful place to visit, by.

575
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 7: The way, gorgeously Yeah, it's wonderful, lovely.

585
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: no Jason Smith this week on vacation. Yes, the back

586
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: end of the week he will be sampling Muskrat dinners

587
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: in Detroit. So if you're on the streets of Detroit,

588
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: look out for a guy wearing nothing but mets garb

589
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 4: on purpose.

590
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 3: He's going to Detroit.

591
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he vacations in Detroit. It's where his wife's family's from.

592
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 5: Oh, very cool. I've never been, so I can't talk

593
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 5: any trash on it. Everything I know about Detroit I

594
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 5: learned from eight Mile.

595
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: It really just kind of comes down to this.

596
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 4: If I'm in the summer months and I live in

597
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 4: southern California, where the hell am I going?

598
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: That's gonna be better Detroit? Evidently.

599
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you know, there was a kid rock

600
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 4: line where he's saying, if Heaven ain't a lot like Detroit,

601
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: I don't want to go.

602
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair.

603
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 5: I just I always took Jason to be a beach guy,

604
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 5: like to get away and want to be in like

605
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 5: a scenic area. But as you laid out, you live,

606
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 5: you work every day in Los Angeles, kind of hard

607
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: to beat that scenery on a regular basis.

608
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: So that makes sense.

609
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: He's pastier than I am, so I don't think he

610
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: sees the sun.

611
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 5: Oh are you guys kind of like powder?

612
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 6: Remember that movie?

613
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: Is that what we are with Jason White? To that level?

614
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, look enough dog walking and

615
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 4: enough soccer tournaments for me.

616
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm some shade of red most of the time.

617
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: At one point, about six weeks ago, they could have

618
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 4: hired me as one of those actors, you know, like

619
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 4: when of the movie's coming out and all of a sudden,

620
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 4: like they're in the third row and they look like

621
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 4: someone from a horror movie or whatever, and they stand there.

622
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: I could have been a stand in for the thing.

623
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 4: Like I had such a bad case of sunburn. My

624
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 4: skin was peeling and like got all scaly looking. I

625
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 4: could have passed for this iteration of you know, cousin Richie,

626
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 4: who's gonna play him in the In this current iteration,

627
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: he'll get you if you're not cared.

628
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: For the Sun's undefeated. Man, it'll get you if you're

629
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: not caring. No, that's it.

630
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: And one you're as pasty as I am. You go

631
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 4: from what I am to beat red really past. There

632
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: is no tan, There is none of that all right.

633
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 4: So we've got Big Ten media days coming up, and

634
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 4: the billion dollar question, multi billion dollar question when you

635
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: talk about the future of college athletics, and we have

636
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 4: many of them that will traverse a little bit over

637
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: the course of the night and throughout the week as

638
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 4: we go, is what the playoffs look like after this

639
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 4: coming year, because we'll have a title game on the

640
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 4: nineteenth of January. And then you back that out so

641
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 4: you get those travel plans in place. But if you

642
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 4: want to go looking further of how you have to

643
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 4: budget and how you have to analyze things, well, it

644
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: gets a little more chaot r at your mark of

645
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: the Big twelve likes his five and eleven kind of situation.

646
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: You're five champions and you're eleven at large, but.

647
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: For the Big Ten.

648
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 4: In an interview with Joel Klatt a few weeks ago, Petiti,

649
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: the new Big Ten commissioner, outline the idea of the

650
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 4: four four two two one. Now we'll see what he

651
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: does and in terms of verbalizing that this next iteration

652
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 4: in front of all the assembled media masses, but four

653
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: for the Big ten, four for the SEC and Greg

654
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 4: Zanche always you know, looking for global expansion. His own self,

655
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: and then we start going down, you know, for the

656
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 4: for the Big twelve in ACC and everybody else as

657
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: we go through. So you have automatic bids would be

658
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: thirteen of the sixteen as laid out in that interview

659
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 4: with Joel Klatt. And now it's the constant fight for

660
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 4: supremacy as we see teams getting gobbled up in conference realignment.

661
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: Maybe some buyer's remorse for schools like USC and some

662
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 4: others when they realized what was could have been if

663
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 4: not for some bad media rights deals all the way

664
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: back then, Hi, I remember that that was fun. But

665
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 4: for tomorrow, I think that's that's the billion dollar question

666
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 4: in all of it. Chris does he double down on

667
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 4: automatic bids?

668
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 5: And you know that interview with Joe Clatt or I

669
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: don't know, Joe Clatt talking to Tony Pettitia really seemed

670
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 5: like it was more Joe Clatten, Yeah, and yeah, you know,

671
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 5: but they even when it is kind of you know,

672
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 5: convoluted as going for four two and a half two

673
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 5: and a half one, we'll give that third a spot

674
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 5: in the Big twelve or the ACCC or whoever's coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

675
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 5: just it made it made no sense. Listen, it's not

676
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 5: an invitational. It's a tournament, and you don't give automatic

677
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 5: bits outside of a champion unless it's an invitational. I'm

678
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 5: not I was out a fan of this when it

679
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 5: came out. Mike, I don't know where you stand on it.

680
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 4: I'm a Big ten apologist, a proud Northwestern alump, so

681
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 4: so good for bids. Well, no, I don't agree with

682
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: it in a as a radio host and a larger

683
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 4: thought process. But you know, damn it, my guys, anybody

684
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 4: been Illinois quote representing the Big ten? But TD said,

685
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 4: that's my job.

686
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 5: But I mean, in most situations, if you're at sixteen,

687
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 5: if you're at sixteen teams, you're probably getting four just

688
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: about every single year. If you're the Big ten anyway, right,

689
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 5: you're definitely getting four about every year. If you're the SEC,

690
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 5: you know, the Big twelve and the a SEC can't

691
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 5: support this, they can't come out. And obviously Brett Yormar

692
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 5: a couple weeks ago Big twelve media day down in Frisco, Texas,

693
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 5: he was like, we are five and eleven five automatic bids,

694
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 5: eleven at large qualifiers and they have to be because

695
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 5: they can't take less the first time they take less,

696
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 5: will take more and more from them. Now that's shit, right,

697
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 5: when there's that negotiation, right, they'll take more and more

698
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 5: from them. So you've got to stay strong with five

699
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 5: and eleven if you're the Big twelve in the ACC.

700
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 5: But the Big ten apparently wants to force the SEC

701
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 5: to play nine conference games. But they sure as hell

702
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 5: don't care that the ACC only plays eight conference games too.

703
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 5: You don't hear him grinching about that at all.

704
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: Well, and that's where the curiosity of all this happens,

705
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 4: right when we're talking about the size of the conferences

706
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 4: as it. I mean, I remember back in the day

707
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 4: when the Big ten was still legitimately ten before Penn

708
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: State came on, and then after that it was a

709
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 4: land grab and bit by bit, like I actually registered

710
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 4: the big twenty dot com domain name good call were

711
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 4: a head and that we might still be. We might

712
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 4: still be aheading there as we go. But it's just

713
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 4: the idea of the absurdity of some of this. But

714
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 4: also we'd been seeing the prediction of the super conferences

715
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 4: so long ago, right where we just have a couple

716
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 4: of sixteen or thirty two team super conferences in the end,

717
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 4: and everybody else is playing off in their own little

718
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 4: sphere and navigating their own globe, which still may end

719
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 4: up becoming the case as more of the rights deals

720
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 4: come to fruition and the curiosity here. But certainly, if

721
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 4: you're not the big ten or SEC, you've got to

722
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: do everything you can to talk about the greatness of

723
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 4: at large teams. Otherwise you're just going to be lost

724
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 4: in the shuffle.

725
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and especially if you're only in these projections getting

726
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 5: two bids, and that's the case, you gotta say no.

727
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 5: So AC Jim Philp's gonna speak this week to ACC

728
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 5: Media Day coming up later in the week.

729
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 3: We'll learn a lot.

730
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 5: This would be very interesting week to see if anyone really,

731
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 5: as Brett Yormark put it a couple weeks ago, doubles

732
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 5: down on their beliefs.

733
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 4: Well, and everybody else still has to figure out how

734
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: to pay everybody and where the proper dollars and cents are.

735
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 4: And because you are my college football guy at playing show,

736
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,959
Speaker 4: find me over at Swollendome. We'll talk about that coming

737
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 4: up next as we continue. Because Sarkesian had some interesting

738
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 4: comments on the future of this college football wave.

739
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: We got that next on Fox sports radio,
