I mean Team USA 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: basketball this weekend was about as lid as it gets. 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: I can't believe I said that seriously, did my fantasy 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: football draft, and I'll walk you through. Did our annual 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: fantasy football draft trip in Nashville, which was a blast. 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: So there'll be some life and times of Jake at 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: the end, also some fantasy football thoughts maybe if you're 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: looking for a tidbit here or there. Other than that, 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: I want to go through baseball. I have one thought 13 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: that's not fully conjured that I want to get to 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: and it has to do a little bit with the 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants, who've been playing a good brand of 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: baseball recently. I also, my the draft trip I just 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: did kind of signifies the start of the end of summer, 18 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: so I just might be in my sad boy thoughts 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: a little bit. But I was also I've been drawing parallels. 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: To baseball. 21 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: Over the last couple days or two, I guess day 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: or two as I got back yesterday. 23 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 2: But I do think it's funny. 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: Like the Yankees and Orioles, it's kind of set like 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna be dancing this year. 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: Guard Dogs, I'd say yes. 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean they're all win behind and they've been there 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: the whole season that I guess even if they falled off, 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: you'd still think they'd be in the wild card. Maybe 30 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: I need to stop thinking that way. The Phillies are 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: in the dance, Milwaukee's in the dance, the Dodgers are 32 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna be in the dance. 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: That I think. 34 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: It's just funny thinking of the questions on a imagine 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: if I actually talked like this, I was gonna say 36 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: on a macro level, like I've used that economics. Economics 37 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: don't know how to say it had to retake one 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: of those classes paying off in a big way. Know 39 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: nothing about it anyways, No, I think, and you know, 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: people get mad when I start off with the Yankee sometimes, 41 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: sorry talking Yank's popular show. Like the Dodgers. They're getting 42 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: Mookie Betts back today. They just Defaye Rosario, which that 43 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: was a surprising one. Ope batting average in the threes, 44 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: ops in the sevens, better versus lefties, which has some 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: Yankee fans in the office interested don't think they'll make 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: it to them in the. 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: August waiver wire. 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: But again shows that we're talking about the Dodgers on 49 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: a different level. You know, a week or two ago, 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: the Mariners were dying for hitters with an ops in 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: the sevens, and here they are dfang Metrozario. Part of 52 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: that is it's for Mooky Betts and the Dodgers are 53 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: sneaky comedy show when you see, like you know, key 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: k is still there, Chris Taylor, like they they still 55 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: have their guys, kind of like when we laughed about 56 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: the Braves bringing back Rosario, who they just dfad in 57 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: there in the dark place. The Dodgers, their biggest questions 58 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: are going to be around pitching the rest of the way. 59 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know, it was one of the crazy 60 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: thoughts that went through my head today and I just saw, 61 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: I guess our guy Bradford Doolittle ed ESPN had you know, 62 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: eight things we're checking in on while the season winds down. 63 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: The Dodgers pitching staff right now, it's listed as our 64 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: guy Glass now, Clayton Kershaw, Gavin Stone, Jack Flaherty, Walker 65 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: Bueller supposed to start on Thursday, So I just think 66 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: it's a fun conversation with them, Like we could come 67 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: into the postseason with Glass, now Flaherty, Walker, Bueller. 68 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: All kind of friends of the program. That's nice. 69 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, who one of the best pitchers to ever play, 70 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: but people are worried about him in October, and I 71 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: am on the unfortunate side of like, yeah, you kind 72 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: of should be. 73 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: We've seen just a lot. 74 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: I know the data supports that I know last year 75 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: he was banged up, and I think that was a 76 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: slight outlier because they needed any pitching, But I don't 77 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: know there's data points Anyways, the Los Angeles Dodgers at 78 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: this point could head in with Glass, now Flaherty, Bueler, Kershaw, 79 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: Gavin Stone has put together a nice season and feeling 80 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: pretty good pitching wise, or if one or two things 81 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: were to go awride, their pitching could feel pretty thin. 82 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: So I think as a Dodgers fan and for the 83 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: rest of baseball, it's gonna be interesting to see where 84 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: their rotation lands. 85 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: Know who I did see is throwing pretty good for 86 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: them recently, Shoho Tani. 87 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll be very interested. If that becomes more 88 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: of a story line, that could be fun to watch. 89 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: More fun for them as Mookie Betts is back in 90 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: the lineup playing right field. 91 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: Forgot he played out. 92 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: There and I think he's batting second tonight, splitting up 93 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Shohay and Frederick tay Oscar's been really good for them lately, 94 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: like that Dodger lineup is gonna end up in a 95 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: good spot. Gonna be very interesting to see what goes 96 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: on with Tommy Edmond, Max Munsey for them. They've They've 97 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: got their series of questions, but I think most of 98 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: them are gonna be Again, these are very first world 99 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: problems that it's gonna be. Who in their rotation is 100 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: ready to pitch in? How do they look come October? 101 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: Along with some of the other injury things Milwaukee. I mean, 102 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: I I was laughing today as we did talking baseball. 103 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: The fact that they're getting d Hall d L. Hall 104 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: back and then they optioned him to the miners again 105 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: shows just how that organization runs and operates differently. He 106 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: was supposed to be the Corbyn Burns piece, and these 107 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: two teams are about to play tonight. Look at that 108 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: full circle. Brew crew are going to make the dance, 109 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Jackson Cherio popular name around the office and talking baseball today, 110 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean the brew Crews questions are like the same 111 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: questions we always ask about the Brew crew Do they 112 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: have enough high end talent? Are we too dramatic about 113 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: high end talent? Like would we have said that with 114 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: the d Backs last year? Did they have the high 115 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: end talent or did they peak at the right time. 116 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: I think Milwaukee's waiting for their season where that happens 117 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: their questions, And hey, I guess I do want to 118 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: throw this out to the people. You guys always know 119 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: your team better than us. I guess Brewers fans, what 120 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: are your biggest questions as you head down the stretch? 121 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: Is it Devin Williams kicking in a gear he got 122 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: his first save. 123 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 2: Over the weekend. 124 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: Is it just basically who's hot for them heading into 125 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Because I don't know Williadamis has kicked in 126 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: the gear again, William Contreras after a couple man months, 127 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: I think he's picked it up. And Jackson Chario has 128 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: become a different ballplayer. And I guess the other thing 129 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: that I don't know if I clearly said this as 130 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: I was going through the top top dogs as I 131 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: click on my way to the Philly the Phillies page. 132 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: Every other team's biggest query at this point is making 133 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs, Like yes, you have injury concerns? Or is 134 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: this picture gonna kick in? Or what I feel like 135 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: we've turned a point in the season that you know 136 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: you're looking at. If you're the contenders who are pretty 137 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: much locked in at this point, the conversation has started 138 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: to turn like, hey, we've actually did our work this season? 139 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: What are our question marks as we head into the postseason. 140 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: For the Phillies, man, are they out of their slide yet? 141 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: They thought they were. 142 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: After they beat the Dodgers, but they lose a series 143 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: over the weekend three out of four to me and 144 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: Dalton Snakes, Dalton with the King treatment down there. 145 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: Howbo do you like that? 146 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: What a world some massive Snakes fan guess it makes 147 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: a lot more sense than me. 148 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: They are not. 149 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: They're not out of their losing ways yet they have 150 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: a series two gamer with Miami four gamer with those 151 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: pesky Natinals at home that you'd think that would right 152 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: the ship for them. Luckily for them, the Braves have 153 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: been floundering in the Mets not floundering, but you know 154 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: West Coast trip. They actually they did get bullied by Seattle. 155 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean the Phillies their biggest thing is like, 156 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: let's get out of the death spiral and then we 157 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: can ask our more questions. They're getting Taiwan Walker back. 158 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: They just lost Dylan Hayes. Otherwise, Ranger Suarez is kind 159 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: of the big one for them. I mean, he was 160 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: arguably the best pitcher for the first three months this season. 161 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: And what's going on in their bullpen Hoffman and Estevez. 162 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: Sure, Phillies, I mean they're gonna come into the playoffs 163 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: and be the Philadelphia Phillies we've seen the last couple 164 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: of years. Their question mark is just currently getting out 165 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: of this damn slide, which was the Yankees question mark 166 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, and it seems like they are 167 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: out of it, which is good the fodder and Yankee 168 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: land right now. 169 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: Lineup wise, it's kind of whatever. 170 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: When you have Judge and Soto, a lot of your 171 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: stuff gets covered up. And that also includes gian Carlos 172 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: Stanton having a big weekend. Yankees have a very good 173 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: record when he is in the lineup, And yeah, I mean, 174 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: sure they have smaller questions around their leadoff spot. Alex 175 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Radugo has been there for a little bit, He's had 176 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: a good week, hasn't had a good season. Jazz and 177 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: Glaber towards the end of the lineup has been nice. 178 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: Will a guy like Rizzo make a run at coming 179 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: back this season? That'll be interesting for them. The conversation 180 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: is just fluid between the starters and the bullpen, and 181 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens down 182 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: the stretch. Marcus Stroman had been really bad for a 183 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: little while. He has his first good start. You know 184 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: the Yankees rotation right now, the guy that should be 185 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: their one starter as of tomorrow. I was gonna say 186 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: Luis Hill Carlos road On has really turned it on 187 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: his last four starts, and that's awesome. Where the conversation 188 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: gets interesting is a Garrett Cole exists who also had 189 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: a good start over the weekend, And if he looks 190 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: anything like Garrett Cole, I think you give him the 191 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: pill of Game one of any playoff series because he's 192 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: your guy. The Louis Heel conversation is gonna get really 193 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: interesting as the Yankees bullpen still has some big question 194 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: marks around the back end. Luis Heel has the type 195 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: of stuff that seems to translate the best to the 196 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: bullpen A with the Yankees put him in that position 197 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: because come playoff time, for a young arm that they 198 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: should be protecting, that's actually a little scarier. 199 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 3: But like they'd have to like do him in the bullpen. 200 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: Right, like Louis Heal pitching in back to back days 201 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: as someone who hasn't done that before is actually probably 202 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: scarier than having him go pitch a five inning playoff start. 203 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: So I don't know in my head, I haven't mentally 204 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: pictured that happening. I heard it's something we've talked about 205 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: throughout the season, but now that we're actually like here, 206 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: it's like, wait, is that a button they would press? 207 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: I heard Mark DeRosa say it on MLB Network the 208 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: like five minutes I watched this morning. 209 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: I can't. 210 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: I've quoted this three times now. Nice guy talks like 211 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: a Northeast guy. 212 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: Huh. 213 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: He was like, He's like that thought shouldn't be crazy 214 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: and isn't crazy because Clay Holmes hasn't exactly been a 215 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: steady eddy in the back end, and a couple of 216 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: their guys got roughed up yesterday. I guess the bullpen 217 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: is the question, and I think for the Yankees, which 218 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: should be good news for Yankees fan, there's going to 219 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: be an attachment of how good does the rotation look 220 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: the final month and a half because those body parts 221 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: are going to be the ones that get interchanged with 222 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: bullpen pieces. So that's gonna be That's kind of the 223 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: Yankees interesting note to follow as we go. Let's see 224 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: the Cleveland guard Dogs. I'd say it's safe to assume 225 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: they're in the dance. At one point their lead was 226 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: down to an inning and a half. Man, here's what 227 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: you need to know this guard Dog season that has 228 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: seemed like it's had just a little bit of fool's 229 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: gold to it. They are ninety three point two percent 230 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. They're starting pitching. Alex Cobb, third 231 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: years old, made his season debut for Cleveland this weekend. 232 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 2: No who else is going to pitch for them? 233 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: On Tuesday night, Matthew Boyd didn't know he was there. 234 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: How about that talk about baseball a lot. Their bullpen 235 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: is still nails. It's the best bullpen in baseball. E 236 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Ra whip hits aloud, home runs, allowed, They're starting pitching 237 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: numbers are borderline ugly, and their offense more. 238 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: Or less. 239 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: Has kept a pace through the season. Boys, it's gonna 240 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: be funny to see if they start limping down the stretch, 241 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: because that Al Central could open right up with the 242 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: Twins three and a half back. Although Trev's heads feels 243 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: like they're limping and hunting for arms and the Royals that. 244 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: I guess the Guardians don't feel out of the woods yet, 245 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: and maybe that's just being horribly rude, as their record 246 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: is a half game different then the baby Birds in Yankees. 247 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: Baltimore. 248 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't know I was gonna their question, I was 249 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: gonna depict in a good light with Jackson Holiday homering 250 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: in five out of his last ten games. 251 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 252 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: I know their offense kinda isn't fully clicking like you'd 253 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: expect it to be, But I don't know their their 254 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: question marks. I mean, Cedric Mullins, can he turn anything around? 255 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean, their rotation would seem like it's gonna be 256 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns, Zach effln Okay, So I guess the question 257 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be who steps up in their rotation, and 258 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: they have some bullpen questions as well, as it looks 259 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: like Craig Kimberl's been kicked out of the closer role 260 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: for a second. He's done this before, and dirty Craig 261 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: usually kicks back in the gear. But Sir Anthony Dominguez 262 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: gets the same for them the other day. So their 263 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: pitching question maybe not too far different from the Yankees. 264 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: Who's hot in the rotation? How does that affect the bullpen? 265 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: On the Yankees' nester side, he's been really good against 266 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: lefties that they may need a lefty arm back there, 267 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been great starting, so interesting to see 268 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: where that lands. And then the Al West race, I mean, 269 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: these two teams are currently fighting for one spot. Seattle, 270 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: who's pitching, showed up in a big way over the 271 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: weekend with more than enough hitting, Houston, who's hitting showed 272 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: up with more than enough pitching in some of their 273 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: pitching splits recently. But that's now become a two dog 274 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: race as the Texas Rangers kind of full blown floundering, 275 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: lost five straight series and I think a Valdi joined 276 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: mac Scherzer on the getting their arm checked out in 277 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: mid August bad sign for them. 278 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: Man. 279 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: I think there's a ale Wes Race and AL what 280 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: ale East race? Like I've talked about our signing up 281 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: to be electric due to Cleveland comes back, we might 282 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: have all divisions uh up for race in the AL 283 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: which that would be it'd be a lot of fun. 284 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: Will that be good for the sport? Do people really care? 285 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: Or is that another like downfall of the wildcard like 286 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: Baltimore and the Yankees are dancing. The AL Central is 287 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: not guaranteed for wild for a wildcard spot probably in 288 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: the AL West currently three games. How if they get hot, 289 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: I guess that'll be interesting cause there could be there 290 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: could be teams in the Central in the West fighting 291 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: for the division without a chance to make the playoffs. Uh. 292 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: For our NL fans, there might be some site disappointment 293 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: that I haven't guaranteed the Snakes of postseason birth yet. 294 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: I understand why, or the San Diego Padres, Like I 295 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: think those two teams questions. The Padres are playing amazing bass, 296 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: so are the Snakes. Dude, NL West have at it. 297 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: I would say those two teams, if they're playing like 298 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: they are, those two teams are a week, week and 299 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: a half away from being like we're in the dance 300 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: we're lining stuff up. 301 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: I know the Snakes are having. 302 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: Conversations about a potential six man rotation. Tory Leavello shot 303 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: that down, so that's one of their question marks right now. 304 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: Padres just got Disco Joe Musgrove back. So those teams 305 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: are I mean, those teams really don't have a ton 306 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: of questions right now. It's just it's just guaranteeing themselves 307 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: a spot in the postseason. And will they bring the 308 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: Dodgers in for a fight down the stretch. That'll be 309 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. The other daydream baseball wise that 310 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: I was having this morning that again, I'm more so 311 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: looking to see where I stumble and seeing I guess 312 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: seeing it there's any thoughts I'm missing on it. One 313 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: of the better teams in baseball right now is the 314 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants. Like, if you were doing a top 315 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: five hottest teams in baseball right now, I think it's 316 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: San Diego. I think it's the Diamondbacks. Are the Giants next? 317 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: The Chicago Cubs are on a nice little eight and 318 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: tour in their last ten Houston, I guess they've been 319 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: hot for a little while. You can argue that three 320 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: of the top five hottest teams in baseball for two weeks. 321 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: If you want to extrapolate that, I think he could 322 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: a little bit. Are in the NL West and they're 323 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: not the top team. The Giants seven and three in 324 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 1: their last ten. I think it goes out to like 325 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: twelve and four in their last sixteen. Their pitching staff 326 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: is currently they're the team that traded the guard Dogs. 327 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: Alex Cobb Snell has kicked into another gear Logan Webb 328 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: is leading an innings pitched. They also well else was 329 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: balling out for them. I just had a disappointing moment 330 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: I was on in ESPN's page, so I clicked to 331 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: the Giants because I was gonna be an easier click 332 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: for me than going to fangrafs. Those pages were in 333 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: different worlds about the information and quality you were getting, 334 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: and a little disappointed in our friends at the Worldwide Leader. 335 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: But they've been out on baseball for a little bit, 336 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: not a surprise. Robbie Ray has been torn the pill 337 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: for them, along with Hayden Show me Your Bird Song. 338 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: The Giants are playing a good brand of baseball. They're 339 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: about to play four with Atlanta if they handle that series, 340 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: which Atlanta is still sliding by the way, the Giants, 341 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: who are playing some winning baseball right now, four with 342 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: Atlanta two versus Oakland, and then they have the White Sox. 343 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: Like if the Giants split with Atlanta, those five games 344 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: with the White Sox in Oakland should be three to 345 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: four wins minimum. They're playing a better brand of baseball 346 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: than Atlanta right now that if they do well there, 347 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: what are we going to say about the Giants in 348 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: a week and a half, who are two games above 349 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: five hundred and the whole thing that I've been delaying 350 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: this whole time. I was thinking about baseball expanding again 351 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: the other day because it feels like it's coming as soon. 352 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it was me being in Nashville, a potential landing 353 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: spot for Baseball's expansion, but something that's coming with Baseball's 354 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: potential expansion that I do think is going to happen. 355 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: I think the three divisions are going to go away, 356 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: and I haven't decided fully how I feel about that yet. 357 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: Maybe they don't need to. It'll be interesting to see. 358 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: Like it just feels like they're going to add two teams. 359 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: You'd assume an AL and an NL because what it's 360 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: fifteen teams in each league. Right now, if it was sixteen, 361 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: you'd assume. 362 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: Sous or four by four. 363 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: Four by four gets interesting because then you. 364 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 4: Can maybe make it so that you get more of 365 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 4: the division games. 366 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: Again in that. 367 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 4: Way, I don't know how the math works, so maybe 368 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 4: maybe I shouldn't speak out a turn there, but it's okay. 369 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: So you know, right now with the wildcard, you're getting 370 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: the six top teams across baseball. 371 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 2: Divisions still matter. 372 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: And this is the part that I don't have figured out, 373 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: because in theory, part of this day dream would be 374 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Mets being in the same division. 375 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: And part of what makes baseball good is rivalries. 376 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 2: Like if you're MLB won't make. 377 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: MLB, won't make expanded Baseball where the Yankees don't play 378 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: the Red Sox at least as many times as three 379 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: other teams. Yeah, like the Yankees have to play the 380 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: Red Sox otherwise I will protest and fight this. But 381 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: I guess I was trying to daydream about how to 382 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: get the San Francisco Giants into the playoffs, and they 383 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: still haven't done enough yet. They're sitting behind the Saint Louis. 384 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: They're game and a half out of the playoffs. So 385 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want this to sound like 386 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: it was two daydreaming. I guess we're currently getting twelve 387 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs? 388 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 4: Is I feel like if they make it thirty two 389 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 4: same as the NFL, they can kind of do same structure. 390 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 4: Four and four man division winner. Division winners still matter 391 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 4: and you can have division rivalries. Get a good men 392 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 4: in there, one he can get to buy. Does that 393 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 4: create more playoffs? 394 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. 395 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 4: I guess I want to say we did this like 396 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 4: the NFL makes sense of something MLB would want. 397 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: I was having some sad boy NL Central thoughts because 398 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: where the Giants are currently at, and this is horribly rude, 399 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: because the Brewer season has been incredible, soup to nuts 400 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: farmed a table that these two teams should not be 401 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: compared currently. And maybe I'm just too excited about the 402 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: Giants hot streak. I guess there's something about the Giants 403 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: sex appeal as a team that could throw out a 404 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: playoff rotation of Logan Webb, Blake Snell, Robbie Ray. If 405 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: you want to put the Kyle Harrison Hayden show me 406 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: your bird Song platoon in there at the end. The Giants, 407 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: I do think they have more sex appeal as a 408 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: playoff team, which feels horribly rude because the Brewers have 409 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: been great. And maybe this is just the same starting 410 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: pitcher argument, how MLB needs to make the starting pitcher 411 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: sexier again. Whatever that would mean for the game, I 412 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: don't know. I started thinking the divisi visions and expanded, 413 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: and you know, the Giants. 414 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: They would currently be. 415 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: The second best team in the NL Central, or excuse me, 416 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: their half game back of the Cardinals, so that could 417 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: change by tonight. But the San Francisco Giants play in 418 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: a division with the Dodgers, who we barely talked about, 419 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: who have an incredible record and just got Mookie Betts back, 420 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: the Diamonbacks, and the Padres. You're defending NL champs, the Dinmeonbacks, 421 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: who are playing the best baseball since July first. I 422 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: think they've won their last eight series pretty good. And 423 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres, who feels like some sort of 424 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: premonition or book coming true about what this franchise is 425 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: supposed to be. That I feel like the San Francisco 426 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: Giants are up against it a little bit for them 427 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. It currently feels like four NL 428 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: West teams would have to make the playoffs, and that, hey, 429 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: we've ever seen that before. Maybe this is the year 430 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: that we do see that. But it does feel like 431 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: a really impossible ask. And that's where I started daydreaming 432 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: a little more about the expanded standings. Let me see 433 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: where my where my San Francisco Giants are first the West. 434 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: They've been fined twenty one to nineteen. They're only losing record. 435 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: Here's a fun Giants trivia question. The San Francisco Giants 436 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: have a winning record against the NL East. They have 437 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: a winning record against the Central. They have a winning 438 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: record against the West. They have a losing record against 439 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: interleague fourteen and eighteen. So hey, maybe I'm not helping 440 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: them out. Maybe that's what they want. I wonder how 441 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: much the Rockies cook their books there? Sorry Rocks, love you, 442 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: respect you. 443 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: Good against righties, bad against lefties. 444 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: An interesting case of things and stuff, I guess when 445 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: we add those two teams. Nashville, Port Portland is Vegas happening? 446 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: Seems like it was Charlotte. 447 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: Charlotte's interested Montreal. There's always a rumor there was there 448 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: another Florida city that was starting Orlando, the Orlando Dreamers. 449 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: They sure are always one of our favorite things. Ever, 450 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen that, man, Nashville Portland, I don't know. 451 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: In my head those two makes sense or no, salt 452 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: Lake doesn't salt Lake think they're getting a team. In 453 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: my head, salt Lake and Nashville, by the way, two 454 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: fantastic spots. 455 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,239 Speaker 2: Sign me up for that. 456 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess I don't have my head wrapped 457 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: around the expanded divisions. I don't have what the playoffs 458 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: would look like. You know, the league always wants more playoffs, 459 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: and we're already in a sketchy spot with the top 460 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: twelve team games coming in. Kind of there's some ALNL 461 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: stuff there, but again that would be it would probably 462 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: be an East and a West, kind of like a 463 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: mix between basketball and the NFL. 464 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: I haven't gotten there. 465 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: I guess if you have, let me know, because right now, 466 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: if we expanded to fourteen, uh my giants get close. 467 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. 468 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I guess I need to stop drinking the kool aid 469 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: and I'll stop daydreaming about stuff that I don't really 470 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: have control of. And I guess I got scared a 471 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: little bit midway through that because don't give me less 472 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: Yankees Red Sox. It always it already feels thin. I 473 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: need more Yankees Red Sox. 474 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:42,239 Speaker 4: Uh. 475 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: So that was a little round the league and a 476 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: little day dreaming. And speaking of there's for the YouTubers, 477 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: there's our Orlando Dreamer sign that guy so that winter meetings? 478 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: Did we miss. 479 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 1: Him to remember if that was or was that just 480 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: him operating alone? 481 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 3: I think that was just like a separate presentation. 482 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: To who will never know. 483 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: Thank you to everyone who does tune in on the 484 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: YouTube podcast has been killing it too, so no no 485 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: shame in your game. 486 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 3: But wherever you like to listen is the perfect place. 487 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: We do make pretty faces. 488 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: And we said we would love love your subscription, so subscribe, 489 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: please hit the like button, bake the algorithm, we used 490 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: to say, a lot tier.

The 501 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: other eleven grew up together. One year they needed a twelve. 502 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: One of my buddies was a coworker, actually a former 503 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: coworker at the time, and I had met a few 504 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: of them. I was living in Dallas. My buddy and 505 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: a couple others lived in Fort Worth. They need an 506 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: extra body who was a sporty boy. I was said, 507 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: sporty boy. And now there was some debates whether it's 508 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: eight or nine years running, but we've done a draft weekend. 509 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: The first weekend had one round of golf. This year 510 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: had three rounds of golf. It's very much become a 511 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: golf trip with some fellowship that was thrown in. Especially 512 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: this year we did thirty six holes in one day 513 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: that allowed a full quote unquote fellowship day in Nashville. 514 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: The word fellowship was thrown around a lot in the 515 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: chat if you couldn't tell. But yeah, most of them 516 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: are located in the Midwest. That we've done a lot 517 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: of Midwest locations. We've done for or we've done Dallas, 518 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, Tulsa. A lot of them are from there 519 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of people were having babies a couple 520 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: of years ago that those became the Safe Bets. 521 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 3: Driving trip for the bulk of them, for. 522 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: A couple of them, some exceptions were made because the 523 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: winner gets to choose where we go, so that's a 524 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: nice feature. Denver Salt Lake, and I think there was 525 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: one or two repeats, but this year we did Nashville, 526 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: which was a slight bold selection because again a little 527 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: further from some of those locations known as kind of 528 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: a party town. 529 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: Even though we're losing some. 530 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: Of the tread on our tires. Is that a way 531 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: to say people are getting old? Awesome Weekend showed up 532 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: on Thursday, round of golf, went out to Nashville, a 533 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: little bit, tin roof Good Spot, danced a little bit 534 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: tequila Sota's. The next day was the thirty six holes Exhausted. 535 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,959 Speaker 2: It's a lot of golf. 536 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: There was also a gap between the two rounds, which 537 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: was like a lunch and it's just an extra hour 538 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: and a half two hours. So if you're playing four 539 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: and a half hour rounds of golf with a lunch 540 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: with another round of golf, you know that turns into 541 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: a twelve hour day. 542 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 2: At the same golf facility, and if you're. 543 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: Hitting good shots or bad shots, dictates a lot of 544 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: your day. 545 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 2: So good time. 546 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: I always appreciate being outside our god, our four man group. 547 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: We really struggled down the stretch, couldn't make a putt. 548 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: Ain't that it? Come back? 549 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: That night we watch a little bit of Olympics, and 550 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: we're all old and slightly tired from the day and 551 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: the night before. We called it no business in us 552 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: going back out. We're getting getting older. We watched we 553 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: watched the four by one hundred relays. 554 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: That was a blast. 555 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: As the Olympics are over a little kind of sad. 556 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: Happens quick, but it's fun. 557 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 2: Wake up. 558 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: The next day normally would be a golf morning. We 559 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: did not do the golf morning because we did thirty 560 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: six the day before. This is when we did the 561 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: fantasy football draft. So hey beepeppdpeep deep football update and 562 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: I know and credit to the party my take. 563 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 2: Guys. 564 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: One of their hilarious running jokes they had early on 565 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: was nobody cares about your fantasy team, which is half 566 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: true and concept. 567 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 2: I will tell you who I got and who I 568 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 2: was surprised to see hanging around this. 569 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 3: Time year when it can be about like draft hell. 570 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm still pretty early, like this is one 571 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: of the earlier drafts, because I think we were negotiating 572 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: around some people's weekends. You know, we had the first 573 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: round of preseason games that everyone was looking at their 574 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: phone waiting for the first injury to drop or the 575 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: Ayuk trade, which hasn't really happened yet. 576 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: A lot of rumors there. 577 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: I had the seventh pick justin Jefferson felt safe about it, 578 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: good floor, It's a PPR league. The one fantasy podcast 579 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: I listened to on the way down said his stats 580 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: were good even with the bad quarterbacks they were rolling 581 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: out last year. Dobbs, I think a guy named Chad 582 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: Hall or Jalen might have been throwing the ball for 583 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: them last year. BYU, I think we talked about him 584 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: once or twice on here, and. 585 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: I should tell the people. 586 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: I told you guys to name some names about potential 587 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: football people to hop on during football season. I also 588 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: talked with Pennick because I want to be like, hey, 589 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: where are you guys at. I think in a perfect 590 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: world there will be a rotation with maybe Pennick, maybe 591 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: Bobby Skins and Rosie at some point and maybe some 592 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: other football content creators, and we'll see who jives with 593 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: our jib. 594 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 2: One thing. 595 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: A pick I ended up being excited about. I got 596 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: twelve person league reminder Dalton Kinkaid in the fifth round. 597 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is out of town. They didn't really replace 598 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: him wide receiver wise. They did with their second round pick, 599 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: Keyon Coleman. Dalon Kinkaid was good for them last year, 600 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: and I think he's only going to get better. So 601 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I think there was a drop 602 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: off in tight ends after that, So I felt pretty 603 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: good about that. Checho Deebo Kamara for those that care. Uh, 604 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: got some guff for my buddies about Pachecko. It's kind 605 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: of where the board lined up, and running backs are 606 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: horrifying now, and I know that offense will be some 607 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: sort of good. 608 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 2: Deebo's just kind of the guy. 609 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 4: Uh. 610 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 2: I love Deebo Man. 611 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: I got the two meanest runners in the game, Pachecko 612 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: and Deebo, So doesn't matter for fantasy points, but that's nice. 613 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,479 Speaker 1: Other picks that could be fun, Uh, It was Zay 614 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: Flowers and Keenan Allen in the sixth and seventh feel 615 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: like one of those guys will be good or Keenan 616 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: while he's healthy. Devin Singletary in the eighth round for 617 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: the New York g Men. They still have to run 618 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: the ball a lot. Again, I know not a lot 619 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: of people hype for that offense, but I mean, even 620 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: if he gets eighty percent of the touches Saquon gets, 621 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 1: was their backup. 622 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 2: Now it's some rookie. 623 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 4: Who I rookie I think they believe in but obviously 624 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 4: hasn't proven anything and not like a high pick. 625 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: So was half into that. Rock Perry QB didn't love it, 626 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: but he was there. Kirk Cousins, Eh, that's fantasy football unfortunately. Right, 627 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: you're either paying for one of the good guys or 628 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: you're taking a chance on them. I did think I 629 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: was gonna end up with Jaden Daniels, and someone snaked 630 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: him before me. I just love Jayden Daniels. There's a 631 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: chance he's this year. Is good running QB that puts 632 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: up points. Last picks I kind of liked, and I 633 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: don't know if I actually like them. Jamison Williams in 634 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: the eleventh round was there, former first round pick. You 635 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: know his rookie season kind of got ruined because he 636 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: was coming off in ACL so his second like full 637 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: year playing football. That Lion's offense took off last year, 638 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: I could see him taking a leap. I was surprised 639 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: to see him in that range. And then this one, 640 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: I doubt is good. But Ricky Piersall ended up with 641 00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: San Francisco and he was a big time combine, really 642 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: good at Florida, and then the combine he tested great, 643 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: and then I think everyone was doing like, wait, is 644 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: Florida not that good at football now? And maybe this 645 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: guy is really good and he's on the forty nine ers. 646 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: So if they get rid of Ayuk Ricky Piersoll, I 647 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: don't know. I just I think that's a potential guy. 648 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: We're talking thirteenth round guy that could bring something to 649 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: the table. There's my draft analysis. If you loved it 650 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: or hated it, good, happy for you. What else happened 651 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: on that Saturday morning? Saturday morning draft, by the way, 652 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 1: really nice. There's a couple donuts hanging around, nobody really hungover. 653 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: Just a nice way to get into the day nine 654 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: am to twelve. You forget how long a draft can be. 655 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: But it's fun. We've got the stickers. We do the 656 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: whole board. 657 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, he guys, like when you do a draft. 658 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 2: It's a nice time. You're in person, there's no clock. 659 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 2: There's a couple times you're like. 660 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: Hey, let's let's go. But we're also trying to be gentlemanly. 661 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: We didn't have a ton of plans that that Saturday. 662 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: You know, the plan was to go out in Nashville. 663 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: But that's a tricky question. There's so many bars and stuff, 664 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 1: like what are we doing? Do you go country music? 665 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: Do you just aim and shoot? Luckily, Nashville is so 666 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: insane that we were able to aim and shoot pretty good. 667 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: The one thing that we said, aha, this is enough 668 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: of a boy plan to make work the USA basketball 669 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: game USA versus France two thirty pm on that Saturday. 670 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 2: Perfect. 671 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: Let's not go to one of the crazy bars. Let's 672 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: find a sporty bar. We did that a. 673 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 2: Couple blocks off Broadway. 674 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: We had a nice little space, perfect place to have 675 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: a couple drinks, game got closed for a little bit, 676 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: and then to watch Curry do that. If you're a 677 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: long time a Waking Jake listener, you know I love 678 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: me some Steph Curry. I've even got myself yelled at 679 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 1: by people before, because I forget some of the kids 680 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: are still obnoxious sports fans that are like, oh, could 681 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: you think I love stuff Curry? It's because you're not 682 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: like adult enough yet to realize that's awesome. Like a 683 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: lot of my buddies are okay, say thunder fans that 684 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: have been hurt by Curry before, and they're all good 685 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: man like, they're all appreciative at this point. They did 686 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 1: say like, we still have butt hurt feelings from Clay 687 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't think that was third quarter Clay. 688 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: I think that was Houston, right, But so yeah, they 689 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: they said they had more bad Clay feelings than Steph. Still, 690 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: but Steph put on a show. I was really excited. 691 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: There's something about the Olympics. There's something about when the 692 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: USA puts out an actual dream team of sorts, and dude, 693 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna go down as really iconic. Like I feel 694 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,479 Speaker 1: weird sometimes I don't appreciate sports at the kid level now, 695 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: But I remember collecting dream Team cards at gas stations. 696 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: There used to be one gas station i'd go to 697 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: on the way to visit my grandma, and I was 698 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: always hoping to get the cool USA Dream Team cards, 699 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: the original dream Team that's like before my time ninety two, 700 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: Like that kind of change basketball, like you know you 701 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: want to do, like Marty McFly disappearing, Like does Joker 702 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: exist if that dream Team never happened? Like probably not. 703 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: All the international teams, France's team is good. It's always 704 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: fun seeing the guys who do get elevated, like at 705 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: Fournyer gets to be a guy on the French team, 706 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: which is funny because in the NBA he's kind of 707 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: not at that level. Frankie smokes out there have talking 708 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: Nick's fame and I mean, dude, something about Wemby being 709 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: on that floor with Lebron and Katie and Steph. That's 710 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: gonna go down as like all time and iconic in 711 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 1: the basketball world. 712 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 2: Is a real treat for that same. 713 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 4: It's good the I like the game of this Olympics 714 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 4: was that comeback game against Serbia, Like that was It's 715 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 4: a good vibe in this office around that game. 716 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 2: I was. 717 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 4: I was pretty stoked to have been the one that 718 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,240 Speaker 4: turned the game on when it started and then slowly 719 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 4: people creeping in and getting interested. So that was fun. 720 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 721 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: I Unfortunately our first golf round was during that game 722 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: that everyone was just checking their phones, which was a 723 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: little daunting in lifetime because I just mentioned we made 724 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 1: our plans around that. So seeing you know, the USA 725 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: down five late, down eleven at the half, it was like, oh, 726 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: get ready for. 727 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 2: The Serbia France game in Nashville. Iconic. 728 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: That worked out in our favor. And the other thing 729 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: I'd like to say is we're in a funky part 730 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: of sports. It's the dog days of summer. It's August. 731 00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: Nice update, Chake. This golf weekend, fantasy see football golf 732 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: weekend has now overlapped with two of my most memorable 733 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: sporting events. I guess this USA game, I'm I don't well, 734 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much I'll be yelling at kids 735 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: about knows. Another an awesome one, the Mayweather McGregor fight, 736 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 1: was on a draft weekend, and that was sick, man, 737 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, packed bar. 738 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 2: We kind of screwed up. 739 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: We did our draft at the bar and it was 740 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: just way too crazy, easily like our worst draft. A 741 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: lot of repeat picks, which was aggressive. But so, I 742 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: don't know, it's always funny seeing how sports and business works, 743 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: trying to find out like. 744 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 2: The holes in the schedule. 745 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: And I know that's not exactly how the Olympics work, 746 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: but pretty cool. The two like kind of big time 747 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: sporting events in my time. In my time, landed in 748 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: that arena, went out in Nashville after that, danced a lot, 749 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: danced a lot both nights I was out, and it 750 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: was the good kind, Like we kind of had an 751 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: open space. We're being to ourselves. Uh, and that's a hint. 752 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: I mean we're all we had one single guy with 753 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 1: us and he doesn't like talking to people, so we're 754 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: kind of girl repellent, which ironically enough can be like 755 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: in a way it attracts girls because we're comfortable with 756 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: ourselves and we're happy. But god, we also I was 757 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: dancing pretty good a couple of guys. You know, we've 758 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: got our own moves.
