28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: that's right, Matt, good job by you. Every goal starts

29
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: with an assist on and off the field. That's why

30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,640

Speaker 1: I see Supermarket Steve nodding his head in approval. So

35
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: some wild wild rivers in the NFL our lead out

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis. The Colts not a playoff team at this moment,

37
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: but they are the talk of the town in the NFL.

38
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: And years ago, I ran a gossip website, a sports

39
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: gossip website, and the philosophy in our newsroom was that

40
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: today's rumors or tomorrow's headlines. In this case, yesterday's rumors

41
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: are today's headlines as it has happened. Yet again. What

42
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?

43
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: What is it? If you have not heard, I assume

44
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: you know by now you've connected the dots. You're not

45
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: a complete moron. The Indianapolis Colts have decided we are

46
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: signing on the dotted line forty four year old quarterback

47
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. He's back, Philip Rivers out of retirement. Signing

48
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: him now initially to the practice squad. That is a

49
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: really a clerical move by the Colts. You put him

50
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: on the practice squad to start. The move comes less

51
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: than twenty four hours after the story popped up in

52
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: the gossip mill of the NFL and Colts coach Shane

53
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Stiken confirming that Daniel Jones snap crackle pop, he gone

54
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: hell missed the rest of the season and likely next

55
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: season as well, with a popped achilles tendon. And Riley Leonard,

56
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: who wasn't thought of as any more than a developmental quarterback.

57
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: And he's got a bum right knee. Welcome to the club.

58
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: So he's dinged up and you've got a rippin'. That's

59
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: about it at quarterback right now. So Rivers, who has

60
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: not taken a meaningful snap since the twenty twenty season,

61
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: is a January of twenty twenty one playoff game, which, oh,

62
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: by the ways, last time the Colts made the playoffs.

63
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: And that's it. So this was the news that we

64
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: thought might happen. Well, now it's happened Colter eight and

65
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: five and they have gone back to Philip Rivers, who

66
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: has been coaching at Saint Michael High School in Fair Hope,

67
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Alabama ever since. So that's good jumping off point. Let

68
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the esteem panel what is

69
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: the big picture? What is the big picture on Philip

70
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: Rivers parachuting in to save the day. It's like, you're

71
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. Who are you gonna call. Let's

72
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: get a parashooter to come in here and save the day.

73
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers at age forty four parachuting in to Indianapolis.

74
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got bowlow, mother nature

75
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: and and better lighting, and we will combine all of

76
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to have a

77
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: smorgasborg of goodness is what we're going to have. So

78
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: a the way I look at the Philip Rivers story

79
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: as an outside party and just kind of observing. It's

80
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: like going to the zoo and you're not actually where

81
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: the elephants are. You're outside of where the elephants are,

82
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: but you're looking at the elephants, you know, like, oh,

83
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: look at the trunk on that or that one's pooping.

84
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: Those two over there making whoopee. There's a lot going on.

85
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on there. But this is binary,

86
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: is what it is. Right, it's black and white, it's

87
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: rise and fall. It's get a trophy or splatter or

88
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: make the playoffs or a splatter or something like that.

89
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: But really, to me, there's no middle ground on this.

90
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: There's no gray area. There's no little moral victory or

91
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: any of that mumbo jumbo, which some I'm sure we'll

92
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: toss out. The whole thing plays like a Hollywood reboot.

93
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: It's a Hollywood reboot. They're out of original ideas. We've

94
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: known that for years in Hollywood, and so they green

95
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: lighted Rivers the Return. Oh, it's right, the Rivers the

96
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Return or is it a Netflix docu series? But the

97
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: opening scene I've already storyboarded it, so the opening scene

98
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: of this Rivers The Return. You've got Rivers changing his

99
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: grandson's diaper in a backwater town in the boondocks of Alabama,

100
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: surrounded by a whole lot of nothing, and he wipes

101
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: his hands, cleans the poop poo off the hands, and

102
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: then grabs his backpack and flies off to Indianapolis. And

103
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: suddenly he becomes the Bolo Tie Crusader. He's a sidekick.

104
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of the Batman universe, right, the Bolo tie Crusader.

105
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: And there he is leading the horse convoy down the

106
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: tunnel and out the play game, Get the game. And

107
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: the fantasy ending here, of course, is the if it's

108
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the Disney movie, then the Colts win the championship and

109
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is the MVP. He holds up the Lombardi Trophy.

110
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: He's carried off the field a La Rudy by his

111
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: teammates who are young enough to be his kids, and

112
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: then goes back to grandpa duty and then you fade

113
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: to black. You roll the credits, and that's it. Now

114
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: there is an alternative cut on this flick Rivers Liberturn.

115
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: So what would that be? You asked, I'll tell you.

116
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for asking that alternative cut for the Philip Rivers film.

117
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Rivers plays about five snaps this weekend, and Pop goes

118
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: the Achalles Snap Crackle Pop and he goes back to

119
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: Alabama for surgery and boom or in this case top

120
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: boom movie over. That's it, turn out the lads, the

121
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: parties old. Now look, we again have no skin in

122
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: the game. We don't. And I think it's gonna be fun.

123
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking I like fun. People think I don't like fun.

124
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: I like fun. I enjoy it. I'm looking forward to this.

125
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: And Indye ordered extra sauce before the trade deadline, Sauce

126
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Gardner because they believed that this Frankenstein concoction of a

127
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: roster was good enough to win the AFC. Right right now,

128
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: they're not even a playoff team. Playoffs. You got New

129
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: England and Denver at the top of the AFC. Now

130
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: most believe that those teams are beatable. Got to get

131
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, though, I'm pretty sure you can't win

132
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. No one's ever won the Super Bowl

133
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: if you don't get in the playoffs. So you have

134
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs. That's the baseline. You got

135
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs. And so now they're going

136
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: to have a new general of the connival in Indianapolis

137
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: and Colts football, though at least for this weekend. And

138
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: we'll see if this goes okay, but it becomes like

139
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties NBC television must see TV for the Indianapolis cults.

140
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Here is this going to be an epic train wreck?

141
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: And if Rivers goes out there and plays like our grandpa,

142
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you can't play. Oh my god,

143
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: what are they doing? Oh my god? Of course, then

144
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: if he plays well, if it's a magic carpet rise,

145
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: Oh it's so good. I told you. Oh he's some

146
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: great It's that kind of me. So buckle up, bucker room,

147
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: all right. Now, staying with the theme of the hour,

148
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: as the rivers flow, So continuing the theme here, the

149
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: state sponsored probed the news service of the NFL, the

150
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: NFL Network, the mouthpiece for NFL propaganda. So the NFL

151
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Network tells us that Philip Rivers has a quote very

152
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: real chance of starting week fifteen for the Colts as

153
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: they take on Seattle this weekend. So the question should

154
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the Colts throw quarterback Philip Rivers into the fire fire

155
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawk. So my answer is, oh my god, yes, yes, Indian.

156
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Throw Philip Rivers into the inferno and bring extra gasoline,

157
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: bring a match or cigarette light or whatever you got there,

158
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 1: and just have a great time. Just bring some marshmallows,

159
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: bring some chocolate, some gram crackers who make some smores.

160
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: And the man is forty four years old, which I

161
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think you're on your deathbed at

162
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: age forty four. He's got that Grandpa energy, Big Gram's energy,

163
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: Big Gramps. He's I guess he's eligible when he goes

164
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: to Seattle, he can go out, have the early Bird

165
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: special and knock himself out. And well, here's a When

166
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: you bring in a forty four year old quarterback who

167
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: played like a gazillion years in the NFL, that's the personification,

168
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: the epitome of out of the box quarterback. No assembly

169
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: required for Philip Rivers. Right, muscle memory takes over here.

170
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: That's how this goes. You don't stash that in your

171
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: attic like some forgotten Christmas decorations from years ago or anything

172
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: like that. And what you are saving him? What are

173
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: you saving him for? What's the point of saving him? Well,

174
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: we don't want to get him hurt because he's our

175
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: future court. No, he's going to be back in Fair Hope, Alabama,

176
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: coaching high school football for the Warriors whatever they're called,

177
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: next year. So that's it. Are you saving him for

178
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: a rainy day? Spoiler alert? Spiler alert? I looked at

179
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: the forecast. Congratulations, it's supposed to rain for the Colts

180
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks game in Seattle. So mother Nature herself,

181
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: Mother Nature is screaming, play him, that's what she's literally,

182
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: She's play him. She screamed that literally. So the Colts

183
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: have as much choice as a guy stuck in gridlock traffic.

184
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: There's nut you're stuck. You got to get where you're going,

185
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: so you sit in the traffic and there's really no

186
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: other way to go. And that's the Colts with Philip Rivers.

187
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: And so the recipe here for Shane Stike it's rather simple.

188
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: It's straight out of Michael Angelo's Chisel. And what you

189
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: do here is it's simplicity, is what it is. That's

190
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: the key to success. Simplicity, And you hand the ball

191
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor like fifty times. You just keep running the

192
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: ball and you hand it to Taylor like you're handing

193
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: out canoli's. You get a canoli, you get a canoli,

194
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: you get a canoli, and you keep rivers with the

195
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: elementary school passing offense everything around the line of scrimmage.

196
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: Maybe take two or three shots down the field, but

197
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: the rest of it is crayons. It's not calculus. With

198
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: Philip River is playing quarterback. So that's what you do.

199
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: And you force Sam Darnald to do Sam Donald's trademark things,

200
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: which is sea ghost and very rarely does he have

201
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: a full game. We saw in fact, the Seattle team

202
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: beat the crap out of the Falcons. If you watch

203
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: the game in the first half, Sam Darnald is terrible

204
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: in the first half. So he has a bad half

205
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: in this game if it's the first half, and that

206
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: sets the Colts up, puts him in a good position

207
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: here and then boom, you're golden, golden, golden Goldan is

208
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: what you are there, and that's the cookbook, that's the recipe,

209
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: and that's the gospel. So that's what you do with Grandpa.

210
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Put him out there.

211
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: Now.

212
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the last word on this, as for the chatter,

213
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, what about the gold jacket? What about

214
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: the gold jacket. Shove it up. Your tuckis with the

215
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: gold jacket. So the question here, since he is returning

216
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: to the NFL, Philip Rivers now will delay his opportunity

217
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: to get to the Hall of Fame. God forbid you

218
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: end up getting voted in the Hall of Fame and

219
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: still play. So Rivers will have to wait five more years.

220
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: All of the horror five more years, and of course

221
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: the arguments will even make the Hall of Fame. Is

222
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?

223
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: The fact that Philip Rivers is gonna have to wait

224
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: an extra five years to find out about the Hall

225
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: of Fame. So to me, it's no deal, none zippo,

226
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: squad douche is the way I would answer this. And

227
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: here's why. To me, this is not some kind of

228
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: added weight for Philip Rivers. It's not some kind of

229
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: conspiracy or controversy or anything like that. It is a

230
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: clerical pause. It's a clerical pause at the NFL Bronze

231
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: bust morgue. Right now, I've been to Hall of Fames.

232
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with Hall of Fames. But

233
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: the issue is this the Hall of Fame. We spend

234
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: a lot of time on sports radio and sports you know,

235
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: conversation talking about who's a hall of fame, who's the goat.

236
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: It's a lot of our time is wasted on this

237
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. That's an actual goat right there. But

238
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, it's if you look at it,

239
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: and I know I'm gonnaet killed for this, I don't care.

240
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It looks great on a post guard.

241
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: And I'd like to go to the Pro Football Hall

242
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: of Fame someday. I'm not against it. I'd like to

243
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: go and check it out. However, when you peel back

244
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: the onion on the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it's

245
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: a mausoleum with better lighting. That's what it is. It's

246
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: you go there and it's like, I'd much rather be

247
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame than a cemetery. Mostly end

248
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: up in cemetery, but I'd rather end up there. And

249
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: by the way, let's let's try not to look at

250
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: the will to Beast in the room. What is the

251
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: will the Beast in the room? Philip rivers, it is

252
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: an incan venient truth, does not have a Hall of

253
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: Fame resume. Oh my god, that's blasphemy. What are you

254
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: talking about you lost your lightning bolt. No, I have

255
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: not let me make my elevator pitch as to why,

256
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: in fact I would larree. You never had a Hall

257
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: of Fame resume. And the guy was a horrible big

258
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: game Quebeck, which is kind of my right, like, oh,

259
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna leave the Colts to the super Bowl, which

260
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: would change his Hall of Fame trajectory, all right, Because this,

261
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: if you go back Philip Rivers in San Diego, you

262
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: could make the argument if he actually won. The Chargers

263
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: had super Bowl worthy teams multiple times when Rivers was there.

264
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: If they had won a super Bowl, they likely would

265
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: have convinced the politicians in San Diego to build the stadium.

266
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Therefore they would still be the San Diego Chargers. But

267
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was such a choke artist in big games

268
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: that they didn't get the funding, they didn't get the

269
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: taxpayer money, and so they ended up going to LA

270
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: and doing whatever they're doing in LA. But he was

271
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: a terrible corback. Zero super Bowls, one AFC title game

272
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: in his time in San Diego, four playoff wins in

273
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: seventeen season. And it's not like he was on bad teams.

274
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: They were usually pretty good. The Chargers were usually pretty good.

275
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Four playoff wins, seventeen seasons as Charge at quarterback. Come on, now,

276
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's does that well? He said, well that's

277
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: our team award. Okay. He spent his whole career as

278
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: not the third wheel. Philip Rivers were like the fifth wheel.

279
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: When you look at his generation, the greatest quarterback generation

280
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: of all time, you had Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning,

281
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and then Philip Rivers, who was like Ringo

282
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: Star if you get the reference. Okay, he was there,

283
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: but it's like other people were more important, Like the

284
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: other ones were better, but he was there. He was

285
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: a Ringo Star was there, but you know he was

286
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: a beatle. But the other ones were kind of bigger deal.

287
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know, it's like Ringo

288
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: Star without the drumsticks. And never an All Pro and

289
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: that's a big one. That is a big one. Never

290
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers never made an All Pro team. He didn't

291
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: even make a second team All Pro the Pro Bowl.

292
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about the Pro Bowls. They played. They played

293
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: tic tac toe and grab ass. At the Pro Bowl.

294
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: They got rid of it. So he didn't make the

295
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: first or second team All Pro Rivers. He was never

296
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: in the top two in the MVP voting. Ever. I

297
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: think he finished fourth one time, I believe. And so

298
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: that's not a Canton Ohio resume. That's the waiting room

299
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: with no magazines and that's it and no Wi Fi.

300
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: But what about the old time numbers, what about the

301
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: sixties something thousand yards passing and the four hundred plus

302
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns and all that stuff. Well, that is compiler nation,

303
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: is what the now you want to go buy compiler.

304
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: Eli Manning also not a Hall of Famer, just average

305
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: stiff quarterback Eli Manning. And there are people advocating for

306
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: him to get in the Hall of Fame. He shouldn't

307
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame either, But Philip Rivers

308
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: is in the same boat with him. I'm Anning, and

309
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: so it's a bit of a problem. And it's like

310
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: the compiler stuff, It's like, all right, well, that's like

311
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: costco stuff, your volume discount stats. And so in terms

312
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: of delaying the Hall of Fame, it's really no decision

313
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: at all to make. It's it's you don't have to

314
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: think about it because it's it's a no deal. It's

315
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: a nothing burger. In fact that he likely will not

316
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: make the Hall of Fame, and if the Colts were

317
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl and he would play well,

318
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: that would change his arc to get into the Hall

319
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: of Fame.

362
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: From the Winter meetings in Orlando, they have gone Mickey Mouse.

363
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: That's normally where during pandemics they hand out Mickey Mouse

364
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: championship rings. In Orlando, Baseball GM's getting there so their

365
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: families can all go to Disney World on the company

366
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: dime and they can pretend to be working. Now, there

367
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: was some news out of the winter meetings of the Mets.

368
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: Closer Edwin Diaz, a free agent, has decided to say

369
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: bye bye to the New York Mats. He has found

370
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: a new home. The news coming out. If you have

371
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: not heard yet, this is rocking the baseball universe. People upset.

372
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: They're annoyed because Edwin Diaz is taking his talents to

373
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: the Dodgers d oh d g e rs. The Dodger

374
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: is a three year deal for sixty nine million. Insert

375
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: your own dirty joke. Right there, La gets the top

376
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: closer on the market and takes away a valuable piece

377
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: of the New York Mets bullpen. But don't worry, Mets fans.

378
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: You have Devin Williams who will poop his pants by May.

379
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: So enjoy that ds A three time All Star, eight

380
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: time All Star. I had an ERA of under two.

381
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm told that's good and converted twenty eight of thirty

382
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: one saves. I'm told that's also good for the Mets

383
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: this past season. He's got the nasty combo dish, a

384
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: lot of speed. There's a need for speed, high velocity

385
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: and a vicious slider. Just like when I pitch now,

386
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: I have the lollipop pitch, which it gets people out.

387
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how you get them out, it's just

388
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: getting hitters out. And that's the case. Diaz thirty one

389
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: has posted throughout his career big strikeout numbers, and that's

390
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: why the nerds get all horny when they talk about

391
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz, and that's why he's getting paid. So that's

392
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question

393
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: does this Edwin Diaz signing with the Dodgers, does it

394
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: budge the needle does it budge the needle. So I've

395
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: got stock market mustache and three course meal, and we

396
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are

397
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: going to play Connect three is what we're going to do.

398
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: So number this stop. This does not just budge the needle. Okay,

399
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: it does not just budge the needle. This thing is

400
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: spinning round and round and round and round and like

401
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: a damn wheel of misfortune, which is what often these

402
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: signings out to be. Okay, listen, the Dodgers yet again,

403
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: they didn't do this when I was doing postgame Dodger

404
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: talk back in the day they signed stiffs. Now I'm

405
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: not doing that on that years and the Dodgers going

406
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: out there, They're going to Beverly Hills where Dale Drive,

407
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: and you know, signing every year. They signed one of

408
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: the top players in baseball every fricking year. Okay, it's insane.

409
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: They came home with a cologne drenched closer of their dreams.

410
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: At least in theory, that's the key part. In theory,

411
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: Diaz is just what the doctor ordered. Well, are you

412
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: talking about the Dodgers wore in the World Series. They

413
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: don't need Edwin is okay? Yeah, Okay, yeah, they won

414
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: the World Series. They had a bullpen this past year

415
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: that was stuff with underachievers, has bins and never wors.

416
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: That was the Dodger bullpen. You know, stiffs like Kirby

417
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: Yates who had a good career but was washed up,

418
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: and a bullpen that if you look at it from

419
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: just any reasonable analysis, the bullpen that forced the analytical

420
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: nerds that run the Dodgers, not Dave Roberts, the analytical nerds.

421
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: Every game was like Benny versus the Penny, where they

422
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: were flipping a coin up in the air trying to

423
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: improvise what they were going to do in the month

424
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: of October, and they put out a bunch of starters

425
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: and they would duct tape their bullpen together and it

426
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: worked anwin. Diaz is the Kremdada Krem is what he is,

427
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: and so he comes in there and you cue up

428
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: the hype and that means, I guess, Timmy Trumpet, we

429
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: got it? Where is he part of thee? Do we

430
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: have Timmy Trumpet.

431
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 4: Not coming near?

432
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: It is like this Tetter rule the organist at Dodger Stadium.

433
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 1: It's called Narco. I'm gonna add that to my music

434
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: on my phone. Now because he's a Dodger, So I

435
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: play that unless he sucks and I'll delete it. But

436
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: there it is. There Edwin Diaz, who that famous where

437
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: that Timmy Trumpet song Narca. I don't know who that

438
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: guy was before this and that went viral and became

439
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: a top song and all that. So that's part of

440
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: the deal coming to Dodger Stadium. However, the issue I

441
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: have being the voice of reason unless I'm not. But

442
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: the Diaz has kryptonite, and the kryptonite is as a reliever.

443
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: The every reliever comes with the fine print. There's a

444
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: warning label on every relief picture. It's relief pictures go up,

445
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: they go down, they go sideways. It's like the stock market.

446
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: It's like you can invest in a fortune five hundred

447
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: blue chip stock, which is there's no guaranteeing anyway reasonably.

448
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: You know you're not gonna lose a lot of money,

449
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: might make a little bit of money, might lose a

450
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: little bit. You're not gonna lose that much. And then

451
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: there's the highly volatile stock, which is often medical companies

452
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: or power companies, things like that. If you play a

453
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: stock market, and that's what every relief picture is. Even

454
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: the good ones are a highly volatile stock. And that's

455
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: the problem, right, The Dodgers have already lived this life.

456
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 1: They have lived this life, this sitcom. That was Tanner

457
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: Scott who signed a seventy two million dollar contract last offseason.

458
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: He was a top reliever on the market last offseason,

459
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: seventy two million bucks. And he became the infomercial pitchman

460
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: for the product that you only see late at night,

461
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: the barf o Mattic. And he was out there and

462
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: he was selling the bar fore Maatic. Tanner Scott. He

463
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: set the Dodger record for most blown saves in the

464
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: season after signing a seventy two million dollars contract. He

465
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: was so bad. How bad was he? He was so

466
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: bad that the Dodgers didn't even pitch him in the playoffs. Playoffs, Yeah,

467
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: didn't even now My problem with this. When I was

468
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: a young lad, I was coming up in radio. I

469
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: was working in San Diego at the mighty sixth ninety

470
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: which is now like a Mexican format State whatever. It

471
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: was a border blaster station, and the padres at the

472
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: time had a GM named Kevin. Now he's long gone,

473
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Kevin Towers. But Kevin Towers was the

474
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: maestro of building a bullpen. And I've always gone by

475
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: the gospel of Kevin Towers his mantra way before the

476
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: nerdation of baseball. And everyone's been brought in here and

477
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: indoctrinated in the nerd ball. But Kevin Towers, back in

478
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: the day with the padres, he knew that relievers were volatile,

479
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: as we've talked about a volatile stock, and that they

480
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: were terrible investments that and the pidders didn't spend a

481
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: lot of money in those days. They still spend it. I

482
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: guess they spent a lot now, but back then they didn't.

483
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: So relief pitcher's bad investment. And really there's a lot

484
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: of year to year, there's Lady luck involved in it,

485
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: there's workload, there's mechanical quirks, and relief pitchers often like

486
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: offensive linemen in football, the equivalent would be the comp

487
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: would be offensive lineman. That you can take offensive linemen

488
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: and take them on a team that's terrible, and then

489
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: they they go to a team that has a quarterback

490
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't hold the ball that long. Suddenly they're thought

491
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: of as great offensive linemen. Because the nerds don't know

492
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: how to great offensive lineman. So they think it's all

493
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: on the fat guys because the nerds are skinny and

494
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: like to blame fat people. They fat shame. So it's

495
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: it's usually the quarterback that holds the ball too long

496
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: that leads to pressures and things like that. But in baseballwayson,

497
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about baseball here with Edwin Diaz and all that.

498
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's it's year to year. It's a it's

499
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: a little little issue with your fingernail that causes a

500
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: problem and your confidence is bone. So the Daz deal,

501
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: this is a luxury purchase, you know, it's it is.

502
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where it is pure and simple. That

503
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: went out. And why would z want to come to

504
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: the Dodgers when the Dodgers they don't necessarily don't necessarily

505
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: you look at the picture. They need bullpen help, but

506
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily have to when they can get other people.

507
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: And Edwin Diaz they can save some money. But he

508
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: wanted to go there because they have all the creature comforts.

509
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: They spoil their players more than anyone. They're the only

510
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: team in the industrial complex of North American sport that

511
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: has two planes. They have one plane just for the players.

512
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: They're so spoiled. There's such spoiled babies. They need one

513
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: plane and everyone else, all the supports staff, they have

514
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: to go on a different plane because they're the unwashed,

515
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: they're the Hoy poloy. They go on a different plane.

516
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: That's how much the Dodgers spoil these guys. Okay, they're

517
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: like royalty with the Dodgers, and so you want to

518
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: go there, and they pay great money and all that. So,

519
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: but the Dodgers are rolling the dice on this, make

520
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: no mistake, and they're hoping that the trumpet, timmy trumpet

521
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: doesn't turn into Timmy kazoo. We don't want to We're

522
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: on a trumpet. What if it's a kazoo? I don't

523
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: know all right now, Page two. So the Dodgers move

524
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: to add Edwin Diaz has led to an angry response

525
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: and uprising, a social media uprising. The mob is not happy,

526
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: not Andrew and Bakersfield. I'm talking about the mob, and

527
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: there's it's not fair booooooo. A bed for baseball. My

528
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: favorite is I'm not watching baseball. I love that. I

529
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. I am not watching baseball because the

530
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers signed a relief pitcher. Okay, so question to the

531
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: angry uprising, what do you say to the alleged baseball

532
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: fans in air quotes threatening to boycott the twenty twenty

533
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: six baseball season because the Dodgers have added Edwin Diaz

534
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: and they're upset by that. So first of all, stop

535
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: the madness, right, stop the mad And this is another

536
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: reminder that social media is the funhouse of mirrors in society.

537
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: It just is. Everything is distorted in social media, everything

538
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: is overcooked. Everything is a primal scream and a world

539
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: that needs a whisper. It just is. And baseball is

540
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: a weak link sport we shed to talk about all

541
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: the time when we had the guy Roberta on the

542
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: show is now us Driver But Roberto we used to

543
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: discuss this. The problem with baseball is you can have

544
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: the super team and it likely doesn't matter. And the

545
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers this year winning the World Series a great example.

546
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: In Game seven of the World Series, the Toronto Blue

547
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: Jays were on the brink of winning the championship, bringing

548
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: it back to Canada and a absolute stiff, a guy

549
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: that sucks named Miguel Rojas, hit one of the biggest

550
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: home runs in Dodger history to tie the game up,

551
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: and then will Smith ended up winning the game later on,

552
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: But Miguel Ross. The Dodgers have Otani and Mookie Betts

553
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: and Freddie Freeman and all these studs, and it was

554
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas, who by any measurement, sucks and hit the

555
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: biggest home run the Dodgers had before Will Smith hit

556
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: the game winning home That's the point. It's the players

557
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: on the fringes that often decide. People get so worked

558
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: up about the big stars and everything. It's not the

559
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: billboard stars that often decide these things. And let's be

560
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: real here. The Dodgers have become the dastardly whiplash of

561
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: professional sports. They are the full mustache twirling villains of

562
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. And they're just laughing evilly like a

563
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: cartoon villain wood. They're playing with a knife. I don't

564
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: know why they're doing that. They're kicking your dog and

565
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: they've gone to the dark side. And I'm fine with it.

566
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: For listen, they keep winning. You know, I'm not around

567
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: there anymore. That's fine. But with Dave Roberts, they've embraced

568
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: and Dave Roberts is just the figurehead it's the nerds,

569
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: but they've embraced the bad guy cape wearing you know,

570
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: just I'm just doing business and business is booming. Business

571
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: is booming, and that's the thing I'm not gonna watch.

572
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: The ratings were through the roof. You had a Canadian

573
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: team versus the Dodgers, an American team, a West Coast team,

574
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: and they set a record for ratings in the World Series.

575
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: And the reason they sent the record for ratings is

576
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: because the Dodgers have proven. It's been proven not wait

577
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: before the dog. The villain is where it's at click

578
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: any click. You can't help yourself. You need villains. And

579
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six Dodgers, just like twenty twenty five

580
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: and years before that, the Dodgers again will lead baseball

581
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: in buzz because even the haters, when they're drinking the

582
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: hater raid, will tune in for the shot in Freuda,

583
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: hoping the Dodgers lose, and then if the Dodgers win,

584
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: they'll be loo's not fair, all the top players not fair,

585
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: which is the ultimate look. If you're one of those people,

586
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: you're such a bad fan. It's so embarrassing. It's like, well,

587
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: every underdog story, this can blow you. Every underdog story

588
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: needs a bad guy, a villain, a can't beat them

589
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: story that makes the underdog dummies, all right?

590
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 6: Mean?

591
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: What final point to the Winter Meetings? At large? At large?

592
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: At the Winter Meetings, so Scott Boris held court in

593
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: Orlando at the resort there and he waxed local facius

594
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: to a bunch of baseball scribes running up their expense accounts.

595
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: He waxed loquacious Scott Boris about his clients in the

596
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: classic cornball style that only Scott Borrows can do. Among those,

597
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: he talked about the center fielder Cody Bellinger. He said,

598
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 1: I haven't met a team that dodges a five tool player.

599
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: See what he did is and he mentioned the Angels.

600
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: He mentioned like four or five teams. He mentioned the

601
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: Giants and the Reds, which is a dead giveaway that

602
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: those teams are the teams that want Cody Bellinger. He

603
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: talked about Tiger's pitcher Tarik Schoob. He said, quote, he's

604
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: truly a saber proof Tiger. See what I did? Why

605
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: he did it? I didn't do it. If you want

606
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: to look at the tail of the Tiger without Scoobs,

607
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: there's a mystery machine he talked about Philly's starting pitcher,

608
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: free agent Ranger Suarez. He said, in the postseason, when

609
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: you add a Soarez, you're armed ngerous. All right, question,

610
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: how did Scott Boris his latest rant from the Winter

611
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: Meetings due on the judges scorecard? All right, We'll go

612
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: to the judges scorecard in a minute. It is a

613
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: reminder before we get to the judges scorecard. The Scott

614
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: Boris rant is a reminder there are three seasons, not

615
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: four seasons. There are three seasons on the baseball counter.

616
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: There's the regular season, there's the off season, and then

617
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: there's Scott Boris season. I'm not even forget about the

618
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: postseason because most teams don't make the postseason. So you've

619
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: got the regular season, the offseason, and Scott Borris season.

620
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: That is where Scott Boris emerges from a cave in

621
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Newport Beach and he comes out of his layer and

622
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: he unleashes a corn maze of conversation that is so

623
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: thick when Scott is talking here that you need a

624
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: machete and a Dakota ring to get now his latest rant,

625
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: it was like something Iowa Sam used to do when

626
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: he was on the show for two minutes before he

627
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: quit the show. That would be puns of fun. Puns

628
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: of fun would be what that is and a linguistic

629
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: amusement park. And Boris and his team of gifted, well

630
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: paid advisors from their Newport Coast compound, they handcraft this

631
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: bull crap they do. I enjoy it. I think it's

632
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: so dumb. I enjoy it. I do. It's like artists

633
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: in work, is what it is. Scott Boris going on

634
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: these rants and stuff, and each line is carved out

635
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: of pure hocum, pure hocum. And just let the man cook.

636
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: Let Scott Morris cook. At the winter meetings and the

637
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: general manager meetings, we look forward to it every year.

638
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: Scott Borris served a three course meal of malarkey. It

639
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: was moy.

640
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 7: Now.

641
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: The first course was the appetizer. That was a salad

642
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: that was a word salad tossed in cornball dressing. Yum

643
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: yum to my tom dumb. Now. Course number two was

644
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: a course of grammar gumbo with a mystery meat metaphor side.

645
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: That's the second course. That's the main course.

646
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 8: Now.

647
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: The dessert was candy coded nonsense. And so you got

648
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: that that candy coded nonsense is so sweet it will

649
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: literally rot your brain, that's how sweet it is. And

650
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: so the only thing missing was the wardrobe.

651
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 7: That was it.

652
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: And Boris should have walked in wearing the Riddler's green suit.

653
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: That would have been perp. We said this at the

654
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: GM meetings too. Just come in there with the Riddler's

655
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: green suit, question marks in the air everywhere. Just do it,

656
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: Just do it. You get that custom leather green mask,

657
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: the whole shebang, all of it. And he's the mastermind

658
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: of free agency. He is. It's a little subtle nod

659
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: to the Zodiac Killer. It's cryptic rambling, much like the Zodiac.

660
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: Put the doss together. Uh, he did drop that saber

661
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: proof tiger line. That was chef's kiss is what that was?

662
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: That's that's the Ohio State Marching Band dotting the I

663
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: is what that was there. Malard scorecard in terms of punnery,

664
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: ten out of ten for the puntery, ten out of

665
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: ten for the punntery, zero out of ten on clarity,

666
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: and I'd say one hundred for utter nonsense. And that's

667
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: how the scorecard reads.

668
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

670
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: God, this is one big vent gets grilled Rublu.

671
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 6: During yesterday's monologue, you talked about the Baltimore Ravens and

672
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,959
Speaker 6: how Lamar Jackson's decline is more than just a drop off.

673
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 6: Given that Jackson is a two time MVP and soil

674
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 6: only twenty eight, Baltimore will probably stick with him for

675
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 6: a little while. However, do you think John Harbaugh could

676
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 6: be on the hot seed?

677
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: What could he be on the hot seat?

678
00:40:59,520 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 8: Is?

679
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't belief he is on the hot seat. And

680
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: there are some Mike Tomlin like vibes. Though when you

681
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: look at the Ravens, they won the Super Bowl back

682
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, it's twenty twenty five. It's been a minute.

683
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with stability in Baltimore.

684
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: So he's not. But if you do judge him by

685
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: the body of his work, they're a good regular season team.

686
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: They haven't really made any real run in the playoffs

687
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: in a number of years.

688
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 6: Next after the Saints win over the Bucks on Sunday,

689
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 6: Saints linebacker to Mario Davis said that quarterback Tyler Shuck

690
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 6: has shown that.

691
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: He has the it factor. Has he done that bad. No,

692
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: absolutely not what he talkd me, Come on, what are

693
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: we doing here? He just has an occasional good performance.

694
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: It's I'm not no, I don't see that. And let's

695
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay didn't play that well. You know, if the

696
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: other team doesn't play well, he's flying next.

697
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 6: A report surfaced on Monday that the Steelers could pursue

698
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray to be their quarterback in twenty twenty six.

699
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, could you see that happening? Here's the problem, Coup.

700
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the coaching. There's not enough coaches

701
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: available that are good for the amount of teams that

702
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: want to change coaches, there's not enough quarterbacks. So it's

703
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: musical chairs. You're gonna move Hyler Murray is gonna get

704
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: a chance to start. The one problem, We've got two problems.

705
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: The one problem he has that's bigger than anything is

706
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: the fact he's little. The other problem is he's not

707
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: interested in playing football. He'd rather be a video gamer.

708
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: So why bother? How do we do? Come off? You pass?

709
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: That's a way I want a goat? Oh my god, bothering, James.

710
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 7: I run James hollering games.

00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: That it is. These are actual questions by actual listeners, Lorena,

722
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: and we'll start with Esteban, who writes and he says,

723
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: I was telling my wife if I was going to

724
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: trade her in like a car two miles. I thought

725
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: it was funny, it was a joke, but now she

726
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: won't talk to me.

727
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, you should probably get her an oil

728
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 9: change and uh maybe a tire rotation.

729
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: She might want to trade you in.

730
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 10: A nice new coat of paints, maybe on her toes.

731
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 10: Might do the trick.

732
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: Uh huh, you know, like a manny and a petty type.

733
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 5: YEA.

734
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 10: Treat her like a new car, get her shined up

735
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 10: all right.

736
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: So maybe look at you, Rob, Look at you Rob.

737
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: The goat man writes, and he says, with Christmas right

738
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: around the corner, what is the perfect gift for a

739
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: girlfriend or wife. Well, this is very difficult. There's no

740
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: one answer, right, Loraine. You can't really do one thing.

741
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 9: Every girl has their own things, like maybe the last

742
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 9: guy's wife doesn't want to look at him. But I

743
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 9: think personal time, Like a lot of people are busy

744
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 9: these days, so actually planning something, taking that time to

745
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 9: make it feel special, like taking her out to Christmas lights.

746
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, a Christmas night light thing with the

747
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 9: hot coffee or hot chocolate.

748
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: But there's the light in here. That's the leg with

749
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 1: the you see the light over here. Yeah.

750
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, you can make your own Christmas story at home. Yeah,

751
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 10: set up a camera. That sounds fun.

752
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: Sure, there's a leg lamp in here. Yeah. Ferg Dog

753
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: writes and he says, if I can't get a girlfriend

754
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: in time for the family Christmas parties, it's okay to

755
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: hire a hooker to be my date. Yeah.

756
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 10: Escorts are great choices to take with two family.

757
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: One of my favorite stories when I used to go

758
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: to the holiday party these the company used to have

759
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: these big holiday parties. Used to Yeah, I don't go anymore.

760
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: They give appetizer. But I used to have these gallop

761
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: parties like the Beverly Hills Hotel and one year, in

762
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: the early days of Fox Sports Radio, one of the

763
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: guys brought a escort to the holiday party and it

791
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,680
