Speaker 3: Before eleven dollars close fourteen thousand dollars. Can you believe that? Wait?

90
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: How because at the time just the era.

00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it was a nineteen ninety seven, fourteen grandma.

Speaker 1: We had it in a we'd have to pay for

95
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: like the room, you know what I mean, because it

96
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: was in the lobby at the hotel and we had

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: all the hotel room, so that saved money and all that.

98
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: But we had like lamb chops and a meal and

99
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,880

Speaker 3: That didn't get you any.

108
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, the problem is the witness at your wedding had

109
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 6: to chisel it into the stone tablet instead of shining

110
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 6: the license. I didn't know how Bedrock was able to

111
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 6: process the licenses.

112
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 5: But even I'm even in the nineties, that's that's two

113
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty people and everybody. If you got that,

114
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: and I'm saying right it one like man, you promised

115
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 5: somebody's like I ain't gonna write about him, No, more.

116
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 5: That's what you did, like, I ain't gonna be alaya wave,

117
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take it easy.

118
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: To give me a deal, help me out.

119
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: He subsidized it, all right, all right, Well, Tom Brady

120
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: had some comments. He did we talked about this earlier

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: this week, last week, so this is a dual last

122
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: week old topic.

123
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: No, no, no, the topic that he won't go with

124
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: the old stale topics.

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 5: No, this is top big that he jumped on late

126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 5: like we did. Scotty Scheffler, Jordan Speif, who had talked

127
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: about how Scotty Scheffler, Uh, you know one, remember we

128
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 5: talked about fulfillment and being great is great and working

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 5: hard and being the best golfer, but ultimately I don't

130
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 5: find the most fulfillment in winning the Masters and winning

131
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: these tournaments.

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: It's not everything in life.

133
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 5: And that's what he said, and Jordane Speed kind of echoed,

134
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 5: I know, George Scheffler, Scottie, this is what he's about.

135
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: He's about family, he's about other things about meaning.

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: So that's what Tom Brady kind of jumped in on

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 5: this conversation, and he questioned, why can't you have both?

138
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 5: Is what TV twel said. He said, why can't you

139
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 5: have both. He went on to say, you can be

140
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 5: you know you can be. They don't have to be

141
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: mutually excusive exclusive. You can have their different blocks on

142
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 5: the pyramid, but they're in the same. Period said, for instance,

143
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 5: I think part of being a great father is being

144
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 5: a great example of doing what it takes take care

145
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 5: of your family.

146
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: I chose to be by doing football.

147
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: My dedication to the sport, the hours to practice, the moments,

148
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 5: all of that my laser focused. Essentially the paraphrase what

149
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 5: he's saying is I showed my kids this is how

150
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: you can do it. But here's my problem. This is

151
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: where it get hit hypocritical for me or the challenges

152
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: that I have for this. Listen, to be great at

153
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 5: anything is gonna cost. It's gonna sacrifice. I don't give it,

154
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: dang what you are, what field. We know that it's

155
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 5: gonna take time away from family, time away from everything

156
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: to focus on that. But there comes a point, and

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 5: this is something he learned here on a podcast Let's Go.

158
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: He said that I miss years of holidays and personal

159
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 5: events due to football commitments, and then he said, you

160
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: wrestle with that as you get older and Eventually, He

161
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 5: went on to say that Giselle kind of gave him a,

162
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 5: you know, an ultimatum.

163
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: She said, look, man, too much football. Sure it's easy

164
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: for you.

165
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 5: You get to go play a game, and I'm here

166
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: at the family raising kids.

167
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: And what did he do.

168
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: He came back for another year of football. And that's

169
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: to me where I have an issue. What he's saying

170
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 5: is that when your family comes out and tells you, look,

171
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: I've sacrificed, I've given my all.

172
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: I've been here, I've done my best. I need your home.

173
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: We all went in on this journey for you, this

174
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 5: longer than most people ever in sports journey.

175
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: We need you home. That's when you gotta come home.

176
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: I totally disagree. I think she was totally selfish.

177
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm with Tom Brady, I know, don't faint whoa and

178
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: don't don't for people say I hate Tom.

179
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: I'm with Tom Brady. I don't think they're.

180
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: Mutually exclusive, that you could only have one or the other.

181
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: There've been great people who had to sacrifice. Hold on,

182
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it right and don't tell me there

183
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: are anchorman who worked forty years who had to miss

184
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: had to work, you know, the six o'clock and the

185
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock for their family and do what they had

186
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: to do. And that's not why they broke up over

187
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: one more year of football.

188
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 3: They had other issues.

189
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: She wound up having a baby like eight months after

190
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: they broke up, so there was other issues. It wasn't

191
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: just that he was playing football. That was her trying

192
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: to flex on him like a power struggle. No, stop

193
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: playing now, he's already played with one like he played

194
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: eight years, and it was he had played over twenty years.

195
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: She knew what she had signed up for and knew

196
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: what he was about. And this whole idea I got

197
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: divorced when I dated my wife, I had three jobs.

198
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: My mother always said to me, my late mom before

199
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: was like she married you knowing this. This wasn't like

200
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: you were a banker and then you got married and

201
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: then you got three jobs and you had to go

202
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: on the road and you worked at night or whatever.

203
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: This is what she signed up for. And and you

204
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: can't have it both ways. You want the life, you

205
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: want all this other stuff that comes with it, and

206
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: you also don't want the man that supposedly you love

207
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: all right to resent you. When my wife didn't want

208
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: me to work on the radio show. That was our

209
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: one of our rubs at that time, out of show

210
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: from ten pm to one am. She hated it every night,

211
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: tried to stop me from going in.

212
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: Okay, she did not want me to do it.

213
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: I told her, you don't want the Rob Parker without

214
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: the radio show, because if you get that Rob Parker,

215
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: I will resent you the rest of my life. And

216
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to be with somebody. And

217
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: the same thing with Tom Brady and his wife. Had

218
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Tom done that and not completed or fulfill what he

219
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: believed was was important to him. It's a give and take.

220
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: It's a give and take. But this is where I

221
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: want to I think she. I think she's selfish, And

222
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: this is where will fundamentally disagree.

223
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: I do believe.

224
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 5: And this is where it's a challenge any one of

225
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 5: us trying to pursue anything what we're doing.

226
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: You you're right.

227
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 5: When we're in a space where we're in and if

228
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: you're going good, what happens?

229
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: You know this? More opportunities come, Hey, you want to

230
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: host this? Hey you want to? You could be home now, right?

231
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: Not serious? Right, you could be home now. Okay, But absolutely.

232
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: You could be home, you could do your job in

233
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: the morning, new come home, take a nap, do your kids, homework, whatever.

234
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: But no, this is something you gotta have. You have

235
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: passion for radio, you wanna do this. This is gonna

236
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: be good for your family ultimately and your wife.

237
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 5: This is where I'm going, I agree. This is where

238
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 5: it becomes a challenge. And this is where I brought

239
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 5: up when you feel as if this is becoming too

240
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: much for everybody, and this is why it is never

241
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 5: gonna be a perfect equation. Right, this is Kobe Bryant

242
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: for an example, Kobe Bryant. We know how Manaiako about

243
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 5: his approach was he said, friends, come and go Banner's

244
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 5: last forever.

245
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 7: Right.

246
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 5: He sacrificed so much. We know that sacrifice simon his daughters.

247
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 5: We know that it's documented. He expressed that. And on

248
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 5: the other side, you finally get to the place where

249
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: I finally get to get that. And that's the challenge

250
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 5: was you have to realize what's gonna matter to me most.

251
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 5: Is it gonna be I went that extra few years,

252
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 5: or I got that extra job, or is it the

253
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: memories that I had? And each person is different. I

254
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 5: think Tom Brady would do it again again. By the way,

255
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 5: I think Tom Brady would do it again, like losing

256
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 5: a fan all that.

257
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: I think he would.

258
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: But I think it's naive to believe that that was

259
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: the only reason. I believe that they had already had

260
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: other issues, because you could work through that.

261
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: He's not gonna play forever.

262
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: The idea that she gave him an ultimatum about one

263
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: more season doesn't make he can't play till he's fifty.

264
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 3: If you really love Tom Brady, you.

265
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: Got to say he's going to retire and then I'll

266
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: have it back.

267
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: But my real question, why is it not the reverse?

268
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 5: If you really love your wife and she says, hey, babe,

269
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 5: I've given you my all?

270
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: Can you just not you got not that time? What

271
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: six Super Bowl rings? Can you? Can? You just can? Can?

272
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: I can? I? Can? We be on no question? Can

273
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: I be honest?

274
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what their living situation, but I'm sure

275
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: she had plenty of help, cooking, helping with the kids.

276
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: It ain't like she's lugging kids on the bus and

277
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: all that.

278
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: I'm dead serious, no, no, no, like I want to

279
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: be with you.

280
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: They only play four months out of the year.

281
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: It's a cop out by her. That's the end of

282
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: the world.

283
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: They only play four months September through December or whatever February.

284
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: Oh, but you.

285
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: Only four months of work. You're working off season. You're

286
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: doing this your round. No, you're not working during the

287
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: night or missing dinner at that time. Rons Jill got

288
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: four months. Rock G jump in, rob G, jumping around

289
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: with kids. Kids want you home and stop it, rob G.

290
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: There's nobody who's ever made it big in life that

291
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: went to every little league at that.

292
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: You go, look at the god. That's a fact.

293
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: The best people all the I'm talking about people at

294
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: the biggest job, made the most money, did not at

295
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: every little league.

296
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: And that is the point where you have No, that's

297
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: a fact. Rob G knows not.

298
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 5: This past week, the week before is the first time

299
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 5: I ever missed my daughter's basketball game.

300
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: I told her I was saying a big moment and

301
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: I was sick.

302
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 5: But I also know daddy makes ninety whatever percent of everything.

303
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 5: I'm there for recitals on there. But I agree you

304
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 5: have to go through some sacrifices to get where you

305
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 5: want to go for greatness.

306
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: But all I'm saying, still win scoreless even with you

307
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 3: not there. What's the difference. It's almost over on the table.

308
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: I saw black, I saw red almost what my baby

309
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: got buckets last week? To ever we won the game.

310
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: Two others, Bob G, where are you want? Robie gonna

311
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 5: be one talking to me? You sound like a man

312
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: who is single living his life. Ain't got no kids,

313
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 5: ain't got no one.

00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,960

00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: from them.

408
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,840

00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,280

419
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: On this one.

420
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: Man.

421
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 10: If you, if you provided.

422
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: The woman gives a man an ultimatum and trying to

423
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: take away something that he is truly truly passionate about,

424
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: He's not going to look at you the same Ember again.

425
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: So I got a side with him.

426
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: Say that again, say it last part. I'm sorry, Oh.

427
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just that you can't take away something from

428
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: a man that you're truly passionate about.

429
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 3: And you know I never look at him the same

430
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: am I?

431
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: Right, Brian, That's why I said that to her. I'm

432
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: dead serious. It ain't like I'm digging a ditch or

433
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: I'm working at Target or something. You know what, I

434
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: mean to make extra money. This is my pasth, this

435
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: is my this is what I this is what I

436
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: was born to do or there's a difference between having

437
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: a job and fulfilling a lifelong dream, and for somebody

438
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: to take that away from you, you could resent them

439
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: like this is not just oh you you don't have

440
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: to please, don't work the extra hour.

441
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: Thanks for the call, Brian.

442
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: This, I think the ultimately we got to say we're

443
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 5: getting somewhere. I think vision. I have vision being a fan,

444
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 5: having a family, being mare and then of course being

445
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 5: great at whatever I do. First, you vision being greaty

446
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 5: what you do first? Maybe family second. I think we're

447
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 5: getting there somewhere. This makes a lot of sense.

448
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: Biscuit in h Town, you're on the hots. You better

449
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: be over two fifty. That's right. You're on the couple

450
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 3: of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Biscuits?

451
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 11: Hey man, listen, first thing when they say this is

452
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 11: Rob and this is where you're coming off kind of

453
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 11: wrong man. In a relationship, there are two legitimate, equal perspectives.

454
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 11: So you can't just dismiss her perspective of the situation.

455
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 11: Now we know it wasn't there and when a conversation

456
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 11: was had, what I would say to you, Rob is

457
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 11: if Tom said to Gizill, this is my last thing,

458
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 11: this is this and that, and he went back on

459
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 11: his word. That's a whole nother level. Now, man, you didn't.

460
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 11: You didn't told me this is it, and now you

461
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 11: didn't went back on your word. So now we're talking

462
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 11: about priority.

463
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: So you woymn biscuit.

464
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Do you remember Tom Brady missed training camp for his

465
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: wife and went on vacation? Okay, he did. Do you

466
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: remember nobody's miss training? He miss trained, rob didn't two

467
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: weeks like.

468
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 3: To like controversy.

469
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 11: Yes, that wasn't enough.

470
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: No, no, no, but that But that's my point is

471
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: she married a football player and there are certain things

472
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: that come with that.

473
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 11: Is a job a high priority than your family?

474
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: No?

475
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: No, because because I don't look at it.

476
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: I don't look at being a football player or a

477
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: sports ride or broadcast or radio show host.

478
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 3: I don't look at it as like a job.

479
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: If you told me, and I'm gonna be honest, if

480
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: you told me I was working at Target or I

481
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: had some you know, a job like a job, a job,

482
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: not like a passion or a career or a job.

483
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: Then I'm with you one hundred percent.

484
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: You don't need to go to that job more so

485
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: than you need to be here, okay, But there's something

486
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: about these kind of people who do these things that

487
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: matter to them more than just having a job.

488
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: I don't look at this as a job, but that's

489
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 3: that's that's the difference.

490
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 5: We're looking at it as you're still by you, I

491
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 5: mean you and maybe even like other folks who view

492
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 5: it this way greater than family, my passion, my purpose,

493
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 5: And I get it. That's why I said, Kobe Bryant,

494
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 5: God bless it, that would do it again. You know

495
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Like that he feels like I was

496
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 5: on this earth to be Kobe. That's when I get it,

497
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 5: and that's why it's never going to be.

498
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: That's not like Kobe giving up his family to go

499
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: be a security guard at Crypto.

500
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying.

501
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: But there's a degree of stuff, and I do get

502
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: that if you're not around or working too many jobs.

503
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine who worked too full time, Like,

504
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: you can't work two full time jobs, okay and have.

505
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: A right, but unless you're in the NBA or great,

506
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 5: that's how you want Mewick. But the family doesn't think

507
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 5: that kids are gonna be like yo, you missed a

508
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: lot of stuff. You weren't there, and that's ultimately that

509
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: your death. Man, that's what you're gonna think about, Like dang,

510
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 5: I wouldn't know. I'd be like, you know what kind

511
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 5: of life we had? We had a great life. Everything's

512
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 5: not perfect. I don't thinking about that week swap that

513
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 5: turn that w upside down me. It's a lot of

514
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 5: me going on right now.

515
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: Rob. A lot of meat talk. Now we talk.

516
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Andre in Massachusetts. You're the last one on this show

517
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: on a couple of Fox Sports Radio.

518
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: What's up, Dre, Hey, how you doing?

519
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 12: Thanks for taking the call. Listen in this regard, I'm

520
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 12: ten toes down with Rob. If you meet somebody and

521
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 12: you know what they're about, and they have a passion

522
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 12: and a drive and that's what fuels them, and you

523
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 12: understand that from the beginning, you have to let them

524
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 12: rock and not switch it up midway through. Rob. As

525
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 12: you know your previous cohar host Kelvin is doing his thing,

526
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 12: but Chris Bruceard, his wife's the medical doctor. What are

527
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 12: we talking about now? You're spending too much time at

528
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 12: the hospital helping people, say right, I need you back.

529
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 12: You understood that from the jump. And if they're doing

530
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 12: something they're passionate about that's positive for the community, that's uplifting.

531
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 3: Andre. Andre, you are right, Andre, you're married Andre. Women.

532
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: Andre's right on the money because rob G knows this too,

533
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: because she would be on call for the weekends.

534
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: Chris would be byself for the weekend. She's a doctor too.

535
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: This is what she has to do. Drey, You're right.

536
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 5: Two things. One, men and women are different. Let's start there.

537
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 5: What women with men requiring? What women and require two

538
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 5: totally different things. Men can deal with that more than women.

539
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: If you're not there, you're not going with everybody in

540
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 5: relationship agree on that that.

541
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 3: Women. Are you trying to say women are weaker?

542
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 5: No, just women can kind of be like, all right,

543
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 5: she's gone and deal with the metter. Women once you're around,

544
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 5: they once you be there, they're literally different physiological makeup.

545
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: Stop it. I'm just saying you're gonna have people. You're

546
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: gonna be having people calling.

547
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: They're like, rob I listened to you, great, but I

548
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: also got a divorce.

549
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 3: No, but you know what, and you brought this up

550
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: and rob G and Alex, I don't know.

551
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: Where you grow up and your family, you know, your

552
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: mom and dad will get divorced or they're not together

553
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: or whatever, and it can make a difference.

554
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: Rob G.

555
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: I think you think that you wanted to have a

556
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: family and be a family unit together right because you.

557
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: Didn't have ye, because it mattered to me to be right,

558
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 3: and you too.

559
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: The first thing I ever drew was a picture of me,

560
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: a wife, two kids, a dog name Spocket picking fits

561
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: at kmart, Alex.

562
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: Where are you? Were? Your mom and dad together.

563
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: For most of it, but they they split in high school?

564
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: Okay, so at some point, right they split.

565
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: And I lived that family life.

566
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: You know, you had it.

567
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: I don't care to make a family.

568
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah to me, Like when I got married, I thought

569
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: of like, okay, we might have a kid or two.

570
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like, oh my god, like that is

571
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: the number one thing. It was like to me, if

572
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: it happens, it happens. And that's why it wasn't like

573
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: some people set out to go like they get married,

574
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, I want to have three kids or four kids,

575
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: like they that's what they want.

576
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: And I think that's why this conversation perfo way to end.

577
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 5: It is like that's what you always set out for

578
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 5: that I always set out first and foremost that side.

579
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: Because you want it. Yeah, because you wanted that, it

580
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: would be great. I feel like, because you can have both.

581
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 5: But the last point, I know there's a level I

582
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 5: could take if I sacrifice everything you Rob g knows

583
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 5: he sees the text message and email. If I get

584
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 5: the things, you can do this, you can hold it.

585
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 5: And I turned down because I can't because I want

586
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 5: then I would never see my family. But to your point,

587
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 5: I get the allure of like, if I can do that,

588
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: all right, if I can do this.

589
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 3: It's not forever. And I told that's what I used

590
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: to tell my wife.

591
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: You don't like the radio show now, and I get it,

592
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: but at some point we're gonna I'm gonna get fired

593
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: or it's gonna okay, So let me do this now

594
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: because it's not forever.

595
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna act like it's out of difficult balance.

596
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 5: Everybody listen, it's a balancing all right. We could go

597
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,280

Speaker 5: Tom Erducci, Fox Ever Analysts and reporter of Time.

607
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: What's up at What up?

608
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 11: All?

609
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 10: Good? Busy week in baseball.

610
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Big time man, all the trades and all the other

611
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: stuff going on. A lot of a lot of action

612
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: moving on FORDUCA. Is that because there are a lot

613
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: of teams still in the mix. A lot of teams

614
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: this year have fallen out because you see teams giving

615
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: up trading inside the division which never used to happened.

616
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: The Twins are trading to the Tigers, you know, and whatnot?

617
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: Where are we on this redut?

618
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 10: I think what's driving this market is relief pitching. I

619
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 10: mean the teams are jumping up to grab every guy

620
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 10: who can miss a bat late in the game. It

621
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 10: doesn't matter if you already have a closer. Last time

622
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 10: I counted, there were about eight or nine different closers

623
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 10: who are available. Doesn't mean they all gets traded, but

624
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 10: teams are just loading up no team more than the

625
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 10: New York Mets. In some cases, it looks like the

626
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 10: price is high in terms of talent. But guys, postseason

627
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 10: baseball now is mostly, whether we like it or not,

628
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 10: about relief pitching. I mean, last year, more than half

629
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 10: the games the starting pitcher was gone before the fifth inning.

630
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 10: So the bullpens are picking up more and more of

631
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 10: the outs in the course of postseason baseball, and teams

632
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 10: are loading up now.

633
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. Yeah, not just one last year, Booth.

634
00:27:58,960 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: There you go.

635
00:27:59,600 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: Yeah.

636
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: As matter of fact, if they had come back for

637
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: Game six, if you remember correctly, Tom, they didn't even

638
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: have a starter, they would have had to do a

639
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: bullpen game in Game six.

640
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: That like, I mean, it's incredible.

641
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: But there's a big event happening on Saturday that we

642
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: want to talk about in Bristol, Tennessee at the Speedways,

643
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five MLB Speedway Classic. Tom tell us

644
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: about that and baseball. A crowd of is expected to

645
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: be eighty five thousand.

646
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 10: You got that right. At least they've already sold. The

647
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 10: tickets sold has gone past eighty five thousands, which will

648
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 10: be a new Major League record for a regular season

649
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 10: game the old record and he won. Right now, that

650
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 10: standing record is from a doubleheader in Cleveland, Brov, you

651
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 10: remember the municipal stadiums Cleveland, Well, the Yankees played a

652
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 10: doubleheader against Cleveland in nineteen fifty four, eighty four thousand

653
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 10: in the place. That record has stood all these years.

654
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 10: But it's going to be broken on Saturday, and what's

655
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 10: going to be an absolutely amazing venue. Listen, if you're

656
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 10: not a fan of the Braves of the Reds, even

657
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 10: if you're not a fan of baseball, if you just

658
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 10: want to see something really cool, I'm telling you, you

659
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 10: watch this game and you will not be able to

660
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 10: take your eyes off it. It is just going to

661
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 10: look spectacular with drone shots and just eighty five thousand

662
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 10: people and a speedway with a baseball game going on

663
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 10: in the infield. It's going to be so cool.

664
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: Well, which makes where I want to go with this interesting.

665
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 5: Baseball is in a good place, Rob and I talking

666
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: about the ratings are up, and you got some good storylines,

667
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 5: you got the Yankee Minder's a lot of young, good

668
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 5: young players coming up in a good place. But then

669
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 5: here is the other side to it, Rob, Manfred and

670
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: Bryce Harper chest to chest, cussing each other out.

671
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: Tom, What the heck is going on there? Where are

672
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: we starting to worry about.

673
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 5: The CBA and and the words like stoppage coming around

674
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 5: when it again, I just said, baseball looks at it

675
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 5: being great place.

676
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, listen, I wish they had a camera in

677
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 10: Phillies Clubhouse because I watched that r Harper against the

678
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 10: Commissioner commission. They said, no, he didn't, And listen, I

679
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 10: have no problem with what he's doing here. He's it's

680
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 10: not just the Phillies. He's talking to all the different

681
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 10: teams and trying to build bridges, if you will, but

682
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 10: also trying to explain not someone's trying to argue in

683
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 10: favor of a salary cap, but to talk about the

684
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 10: economics field, any questions.

685
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: Listen.

686
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 10: There was a lot of criticism in the past that

687
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 10: maybe he wasn't in touch with the players. More so

688
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 10: he's gotten out there. You know, He's got this advisory

689
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 10: committee of former players, the Commissioner's Ambassadorship group that is

690
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 10: also talking to players. So the efforts there. And I

691
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 10: have no problem though with Bryce Harper challenging him. I

692
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 10: mean I wasn't there so I can't tell you how

693
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 10: bad it was in terms of the decorum or lack

694
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 10: of but it is a major league clubhouse, right You're

695
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 10: not on a PBS debate stage. I get it. But

696
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 10: you know, I think all in all, it's good. Listen,

697
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 10: if baseball, if the owners want to change the economic system,

698
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 10: and I don't know how far they want to go

699
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 10: with this, it's not gonna be easy. I mean, as

700
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 10: you said, I said, the game is really good right now.

701
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 10: I think it's not a high it's it's it's definitely

702
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 10: propelled forward from the last year's World Series, the Dodgers

703
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 10: and the Yankees, and you know, actually going back to

704
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 10: the pitch timer, which I keep saying, Man, that's the

705
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 10: best thing that happened to baseball since soft serve ice

706
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 10: cream in a little better.

707
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: Hey you know what.

708
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: And I was Reducci. I'm gonna be honest. I didn't

709
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: like it at first because I really believed it was like,

710
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: let's just speed up the game and get it over

711
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: with for people who didn't like baseball. And and and

712
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: it's not. It hasn't taken away the fabric of the game.

713
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: It's just taking out all the minutia and all the

714
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: adjusting yourself and stepping out tom on every other pitch.

715
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. I went to a game recently

716
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: two hours and ten minutes too.

717
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't do it.

718
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 10: No, it's great, man, And I was in favor of

719
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 10: this for years because what I saw was, you know,

720
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 10: it wasn't like there was more offense. Games were taking

721
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 10: longer just because of twenty to twenty five minutes of

722
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 10: pure dead time, whether it was a velcrow adjustment of

723
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 10: the bat and gloves or catchers going out to the

724
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 10: mountain an unlimited number of times. I mean, think about it.

725
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 10: What other sport gives players an unlimited number of timeouts.

726
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 10: That's what baseball did all these years. So it's you

727
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 10: go to a game now, and it's not like they

728
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 10: reinvented anything. We just brought the game back to where

729
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 10: it was in the you know, seventies and eighties. Which listen,

730
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 10: if I go back to the eighties, I'm going to

731
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 10: date myself here. That was kind of a golden era

732
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 10: to me when it comes to just the aesthetics of

733
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 10: the game. Because the ball was in play, you had

734
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 10: different styles of play. You know, you had Harvey wallbangers

735
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 10: and Kansas City, you know, shooting the ball around on

736
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 10: the carpet. So I think we're getting closer to getting

737
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 10: back there. There's still a ton of strikeouts, but in

738
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 10: terms of pace in the game to the pace of

739
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 10: the action, we've come a long way in the last

740
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 10: three years.

741
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's where the miscalculation was that all

742
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 5: anybody wanted to see was a long ball.

743
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a part of it. We love it. It's great.

744
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 5: But you mentioned people wanted to see action. They wanted

745
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 5: to see stolen bases, they want to see guys outrun,

746
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 5: you know plays, and he wanted that. And now we're

747
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 5: starting to get more of that real quick because we're

748
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 5: up against it as of now. We were talking about

749
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 5: it earlier in one of our segments. Any favorites you

750
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 5: see from each league to make it to the World Series,

751
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 5: anybody who're still kind of got your eye on, say

752
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: it could be because it feels wide open.

753
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 10: It did feels very wide open. I think a sleeper

754
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 10: team is a Milwaukee Brewers.

755
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: I mentioned it generally.

756
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 10: Listen, you look at the last five World champions, they

757
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 10: all hit home runs. They all want ranked like in

758
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 10: the top three or four major league baseball. But the

759
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 10: one thing Milwaukee doesn't have a lot of a little

760
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 10: bit of power, but not a ton of power. But

761
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 10: now the way with the MISASKI kid where he's throwing

762
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 10: woodrup looks great Peralta mcgild the back end of the bullpen.

763
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 10: They got stuff on the mount and they played the

764
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 10: game with speed and defense put the ball in play.

765
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 10: T is a sleeper team for me. I mean, it's

766
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 10: still tough. I'd still go with the Dodgers because I

767
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 10: think when all's said and done, I think they're going

768
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 10: to get a relief pitcher or two here at the deadline,

769
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 10: and I do think their starting pitching is going to

770
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 10: be in good shape by if we get to October.

771
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 10: But it's pretty wide open. I will definitely. I don't

772
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 10: think there's an especially the American League, one particular team

773
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 10: that's got to handle on inside track.

774
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: All right, There we have it, Tom, Thank you, Ben

775
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 3: appreciate it now, six o'clock Saturday on Fox, six PM,

776
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 3: Eastern eighty five thousand could be more to
