We sure do lose 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 4: a stage. Are you you doubling up on material? 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 3: I'm trying to Okay, I got to tease for you 12 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 3: coming up later this week on the Restrictor Podget no, 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 3: but yeah, I like another loss for Team USA and 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 3: the gold medal round of Alenezuela this time. And you 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: know what's funny is in this game, it was setting 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 3: up for the big dramatic finish. 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 4: You know, they're trailing by two. 18 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: Late in the game, Bryce Harper comes up with arguably 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: the biggest hit of his baseball career considering time and 20 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 3: score and when he did it, and he was all 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: set up to play the hero and lo and behold, 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: USA gives it right back not even ten minutes later. 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 3: They go on to lose the game, and surprisingly or unsurprisingly, 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 3: but now you look at it, the big story of 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: the game wasn't necessarily Bryce Harper's home run. It wasn't 26 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: even valins Willa getting to win. It was well, Aaron 27 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: Judge let us down again, the captain Team USA Captain 28 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: America in the knockout rounds two for eleven, five strikeouts, 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 3: zero RBI. He's taken a lot of arrows today on 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: this network and on other networks. Rob, You're the biggest 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: Aaron Judge fan there. Three time MLB bro of the Year. 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 3: Does he deserve the slander for letting us down once again? 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: No way, nohow. It's always easy to point and pick 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: out the big dog. I get it, right. You expect 35 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: big thing from and I get it. He was zero 36 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: for four with three strikeouts, so he should get some pushback, 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: and people have a right right because had he hit 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: the home run or hit the home run to win it, 39 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: he'd be getting mad in love and everybody would be 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: talking about all rise Aaron Judge. So I'm not even 41 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: going to go there. I get that comes with the territory. 42 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: But he's like a lot of other stars in those moments. 43 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: We talked about it before. I brought up Ted Williams, 44 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Barry Bonds, before that two thousand and two playoff series 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: against the Angels, the World Series against the Angels when 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: he hit five hundred and they still lost in seven games. 47 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 4: There's plenty of those opportunities, you know what I'm saying. 48 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: So I get it. I get the frustration. 49 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: There were times for people to go out and say 50 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: he's never gotten a big hit in the postseason is ridiculous. 51 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: We sat here last year. He hit five hundred in 52 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year for the Yankees. A couple of 53 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: years ago against Cleveland, he had a big two run game, 54 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: ty in home run late in the game, had big hits, 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: big home runs. Is it as many as people would 56 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: like or every situation? 57 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 4: Of course not. And I get it. You can say 58 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 4: the same thing if you. 59 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: Want to go look at Otani's World Series batting average 60 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: him up. I'm just talking about the two biggest stars. 61 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Look it up real quick. His postseason. 62 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 4: It ain't good. 63 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: They've the Dodgers have won back to back World Series 64 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: and show hey has been Otani has been? 65 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 4: No Tani because he hadn't he hadn't shown up. 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 5: He's bad in two forty eight with the Dodgers in 67 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 5: the postseason, and I bet you was worse than the 68 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 5: World Series because you remember last year he's scuffled. 69 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: That's all. 70 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying, and I'm not it's not an 71 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: excuse at all. But this notion that you would rather 72 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: take Bryce Harper over Aaron Judge, I don't see that. 73 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: And even career as good as Bryce hall Haard's, in 74 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: those situations, I'm gonna take Aaron Jones. 75 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 5: So the answers, No, Bryce Harper is very good. He's 76 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 5: gonna go to the Hall of Fame. He has had 77 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 5: an amazing career, especially considering and you know this, the 78 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 5: hype he was. 79 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 4: In high school, no hyped up and deserved the high Yeah. 80 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: And so to be hyped up like that, and you 81 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 5: know my theory, anybody who lives up to a lebron 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 5: coming we all knew about him since he was fifteen, 83 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 5: and to live up to a Bryce Harper since he 84 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 5: was you know, fifteen, sixteen, whatever. 85 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 4: It was as well. So Bryce Harper has done that. 86 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 5: But I do think there's tears right, and Bryce Harper 87 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 5: is more Kevin Durant to show hey and Aaron Judges, 88 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 5: you know, peak Lebron and Kobe. You get what I 89 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 5: mean when Lebron and Kobe were competing for one. 90 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 4: And two And let me just give you this real 91 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 4: quick because you're you're okay. 92 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 5: I think I had all post his all Yeah, like 93 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 5: his whole post season thirty three games in his postseason career? 94 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 4: Is that old? Tani? Okay? 95 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: But here's my thing. Harper came in twenty twelve. Judge 96 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: came into twenty sixteen. You ready, Yeah, Judge still has 97 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: higher war, more home runs, higher batting average, higher slugging, 98 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: higher ops, more MVPs, more budding titles, and more silver sluggers. 99 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 5: I'm just you know, which leads to my point. He's 100 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 5: Kevin Durant to Aaron Judges, Kobe or Lebron. You know, 101 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 5: there were tears. There's always tears. Like when you look 102 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 5: at there are guys who're really good and they're right there. 103 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 5: He ain't that, you know we talk about all the 104 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 5: time with the four horsemen in the quarterbacks, Like there's 105 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 5: guys right there justin. 106 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 4: Herbert really good. 107 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 5: He ain't Patrick Mahomes, he ain't josh Allen good. He 108 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 5: ain't Lamar Jackson, not even Lamar where Lamar was almost 109 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 5: three m vps. He hadn't done any of that. 110 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: That's what I mean. 111 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 5: So there's tears of this, and I think Bryce Harper 112 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 5: is a step below the guys were talking about the show, Hayden, I'm. 113 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 4: Not mad if people want to push back on Judge. 114 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 4: He was over four. 115 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 5: Here's what I'm gonna throw them some bail. He was 116 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 5: over four. Uh, he didn't show up when you wanted 117 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 5: him to. But I'll throw him some bail because, well, 118 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 5: our bats are supposed to be amazing. 119 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: In the last two games. We got four runs. 120 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 5: No, I get it. So it's just Aaron Judge didn't 121 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 5: help out. But he wasn't alone. And this isn't alone. 122 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 5: This isn't his team singularly the Yankees, right, that's different. 123 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 5: You are the l Cappy Tan of this. You are 124 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 5: the man, You're the chief of our team. This is 125 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 5: this is a this is a stack. You're the man 126 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 5: on your team. You're the man on your team. You're 127 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 5: the man on your team. So to me, all of 128 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 5: those guys fell short when you only score two runs 129 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 5: in the last couple. 130 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: Of games and that, and that's perfect because normally, uh, 131 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, in the situation, you should be able to 132 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: like if they should have been able to win because 133 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: the other team didn't score that many more. 134 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 4: You only gave up. 135 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 5: Three pitching games four four as well the last two games. 136 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 5: Yeah right, you see what I'm saying. 137 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: So you what you say the pitching stats only going 138 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: to give up four runs in the final two games 139 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: of the WBC. 140 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: They don't win both of those games. 141 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 5: So my whole point is if Aaron Judges this was 142 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 5: the World Series versus Dodgers or something, and we're having 143 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 5: this conversation, I would be much more critical of him 144 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 5: because he's the singer that he's the face, he's the guy. 145 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 5: The Yankees depend on him. They depend on your bat, 146 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 5: they depend on you out and sit. They depend on 147 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 5: you to be that guy. That's why you're paid handsomely. 148 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 5: That's why you're gonna go on the Hall of Fame 149 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 5: near an MVP winner pretty much every other year, every 150 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 5: year the last seven years. So my point is I 151 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 5: will cut him some slack, give him a little bit 152 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 5: more bell because of the scale of the team and 153 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 5: who's all on his team. This was supposed to be 154 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 5: other guys stepping up as well. If those were the Yankees, 155 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 5: I'd be much harder on them. 156 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 157 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: the nation.

So obviously it goes off in a big way. 241 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 3: It goes viral to the highest extent. So much so 242 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: that earlier this morning. Can this happen on Tuesday late afternoon? 243 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: Arenas has to go on a live stream on his 244 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: own account separately from the podcast to kind of that's 245 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: the situation, because it couldn't just let it float out 246 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: there in the ether. 247 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 4: And he clarified quote the video. 248 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: Itself where the guy said it he wasn't actually working 249 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: with us yet on Gills Arena after the fact when 250 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: he met Kenyan started working for the company, and him 251 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: and Kenyan became good. The people who held on to 252 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 3: the video quote, We're going to get it to Kenyan, 253 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: and then it came to light. He tried to apologize, 254 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 3: but Kenyan thought, hey, I had you in my house 255 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: around my family and kids. But it's one of those 256 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: things where hey, no, this happened before you met. So 257 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: there's a lot to unpack there. 258 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 4: There really is. Yep, I'll let you stop starting take 259 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: that last part. I'm gonna start there. 260 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 5: I think that was the key part because when I 261 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 5: initially saw this, I was like, I completely understood where 262 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 5: can you been coming from? Because I read it as 263 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 5: you know, hey, I've been running with you now for 264 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 5: a couple of years. Whatever it is, you're my man's 265 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 5: and then a couple of weeks ago you went and 266 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 5: there's some shady stuff talking about me, something that's very uh. 267 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 5: An impediment of mind is something that's very sensitive to me. 268 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 4: You know this. 269 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 5: Everybody around here knows this, and you've been talking and Obama, 270 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 5: you did this, You mocked me, you made fun of me, 271 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 5: and I want to smoke with you. I was with that. 272 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 5: I thought, wow, you know if you did that. Then 273 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 5: I found out, like you mentioned m Gilbert, oh, this 274 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 5: was well before he knew them, well before they were 275 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 5: all working together. And to me, that's when it turned 276 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 5: into the larger lesson, and that is, dang it. The 277 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 5: Internet ain't going nowhere. So all the people that you 278 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 5: mock with impediments people that you make fun of. And 279 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 5: that's one of the things rob with social media, we 280 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 5: have become desensitized where people have real traumatic issues, things 281 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 5: that have happened, people have gotten hurt, blown off, fingers, this, 282 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 5: that and the other.
