This hour is from the Swap Meet. 39 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: It did not disappoint. We did have a lot of 40 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: huge names traded. We had a lot of trades. It 41 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: was much like my diet back in the day when 42 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: I was going for it and I just ate everything. 43 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: It was quantity over quality. So it was deadline day, 44 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: a historic day, deadline day for the volume of trades 45 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. And we have all night to 46 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: slice and dice and go brick by brick and all 47 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: that stuff. But let's start with a normal target, the dirty, 48 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: rotten scoundrels of baseball, the land of no morals. If 49 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: you didn't see what they did, maybe not on brand. 50 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: The cheating Astros reacquired disgraced infield. They're Carlos Correa and 51 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: a deal. It some say is surprising, some say is surprising, 52 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: comes over from the Minnesota Twins. The Twins, by the way, 53 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: announced after the trade deadline they'll be joining the Pacific 54 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: Coast League for the rest of the season. But Carlos Carrea, 55 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: he goes to Houston and the Astros, well, they sent 56 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: some minor league player back to Minnesota. Now Korea waived 57 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: his no trade clause in order to make that happened. 58 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: He has also agreed to change positions as he goes 59 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: back to the Cheaters. He'll play third base, so he'll 60 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: be on the left side of the infield with the 61 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: guy that usurped him at shortstop. Jeremy Pine for the cheaters. 62 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what is your perspective 63 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: on Carlos Corea, the cheater going back to join the 64 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: other cheaters in Houston. So I've got True Crime, rubber Maid, 65 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: and four Seasons, and we will combine all of these 66 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: things together and we're gonna make some movie theater buttered popcorn, 67 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: not just your normal buttered popcorn. But it's just a 68 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: little bit better. It's a little worse for you. It 69 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: fills up when you're little movie theater, right, Not that 70 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: many people do anymore, but you go there and it 71 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: fills up your gut and your arteries. The Holy all right. 72 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: So A, this Carlos Carrea deal is just dripping with irony. 73 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: Capitalize right, the Twins. Now they're paying thirty three million 74 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: dollars to make Carlos Korea go away. Think about that. 75 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: I would love for someone to pay me thirty three 76 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: million dollars to go away. I promise you I will 77 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: go away. You will never hear about me again. You'll 78 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: never hear me again, You'll never see me again. But 79 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: think about that. Carlos Correa, who signed the biggest contract 80 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: in Twins history, and a couple years later, they're like, 81 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: we got to get rid of this guy. And on 82 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: the other side, Korea chose to return to the place 83 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: where he cheated his way to a championship. It's like 84 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: some kind of twisted redemption tour. So using some patented 85 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: overnight sports radio psycho babble, what this is. After a 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: minutes long deliberation, Korea signing off on the note trade 87 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: to go back to Houston is straight up true crime behavior. 88 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: If you ever watch those true crime shows, you've seen this. 89 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: You've even if you haven't, you've heard over the years 90 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: of the criminal mind. The way the criminal mind works, 91 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: the criminal always returns to the scene the crime. Enter 92 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: Carlos Korea, Right, He's not just going back to Houston 93 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: because he liked the weather there. This is textbook narcissist stuff, right, Korea, 94 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: who must be emotionally aroused, I would imagine by the 95 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: trash can banging buzzer, wearing World Series trophies, stealing franchise, 96 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: and so he wants to go back there and get 97 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: some more validation there. He needs reassurance Korea that all 98 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: that cheating he was a part of, that it wasn't 99 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: just okay. It was just okay, it was heroic. And 100 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: this is a guy who has built his entire identity, 101 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: is a big league ballplayer on being a schmuck, an 102 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: a hole, someone you cheer against, and being part of 103 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: the dirtiest team in baseball history, the as one one 104 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: thousand and two, one thousand holes. So it's his happy place. 105 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: That's the line, right, the one park, the one place 106 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: where no one boos him, there's no moral outrage. The 107 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: whole fan base has embraced the trash can mantra. Right, 108 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: He'll go back in there like a conquering hero. He 109 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: might even be wearing a trash can, right, hugs confetti, 110 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: They might give him a special golden trash can as 111 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: he returns there. But he'll be back in the warm, 112 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: embraced Korea of the franchise that he helped become a 113 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: national laughing stock and embarrassment and the face of cheating 114 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: an American sport. Correa never really left mentally, he did it. 115 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: You know, probably spent the whole time in Minnesota. Every 116 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: time he saw trash can, he was whispering sweet nothings, right, 117 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: just just kind of flirting with the trash can. So 118 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: Korea's back in age town, and the Astros just welcomed 119 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: home there for Digital Punk. He's back in town, right. 120 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: They deserve each other now, Page two on this as 121 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: we break it down. So why is the Carlos Korea 122 00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: trade the ultimate head scratcher for the cheating Astros is 123 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of clear here if you follow this story 124 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: at all, if you pay any attention, and maybe you don't, 125 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: maybe you don't, but if you do, you know what 126 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm about to say. So the team in Houston let 127 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: Correa walk four years ago because hello, they did not 128 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: think he was going to age twell. They didn't think 129 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: that the player would be able to live up to 130 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: the long term contract. They had somebody else younger. They 131 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: could have kept Korea and moved him to another position 132 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: if they thought he would be all right. So by 133 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: bringing him back, the Astros are admitting that they were 134 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: wrong to let him go. But here's here's the shocking thing. 135 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: They weren't wrong to let him go. He's cooked, all right. 136 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: Correa's cooked. It's like they're trying to revive Blockbuster video. 137 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: It's not coming back. And while he's listed at age thirty, 138 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: he often plays Korea like he's fifty at least he 139 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: did in Minnesota. Watching him run, it's like watching someone 140 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: try to run through a sprint in the cement. It's 141 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: kind of wet there, and it's just kind of messed up. 142 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: He's in the bottom percentile according to the NERD stats 143 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: in barrel percentage. He's got no range defensively, and I'm 144 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: pretty sure you could plant corn in the gaps he 145 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: leaves on defense. Thus they're going to try to hide 146 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: him at the hot corner, care at third base. But 147 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: what an emasculating move. What an emasculating move. This isn't 148 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: just about the analytics and all that stuff. You had 149 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: to remember the astro said, we don't think we can 150 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: we can bring you back. We don't think you're gonna 151 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: live up to the contract we could give you. The 152 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: Mets signed him to a deal or came close, backed out, 153 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: The Giants agreed to a deal. Both then saw the 154 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: medical record and ran for the hills. They said, you 155 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: know what, We're good, Carlos, We're good here. Thanks, but 156 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: no thanks. And he goes to Minnesota and sucks. And 157 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: so he's not just declining this season, he's nose diving 158 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: and now here come the a holes crawling back like 159 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: that X who seems to be convinced that they can 160 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: fix it. Oh yeah, I can fix this guy. Yeah yeah. 161 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: What are they gonna dip him in the holy water 162 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: of a rubber made trash can somewhere in the suburbs 163 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: of Houston and boom, it's gonna be hitting like he 164 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: was in twenty seventeen. Right, all you have to do, 165 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: deck Torrea, get him the buzzer. If that doesn't work, 166 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: try a whistle, right, maybe a trash can lid instead 167 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: of a hat, right, full service. Hey. In fact, the 168 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: equipment guy when he gets back to Houston, Korea, the 169 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: equipment Guy's gonna say, hey, Carlos, you want your buzzer 170 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: in medium or large? I know you've gained a little ways, 171 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: it still a medium or do you need a large buzzer? 172 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: It's a waste management right, Houston style? And what do 173 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: we always say, what do we always say on the show? 174 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: We say, don't let a falling star fall on you. Well, 175 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: guess what they not only did that, they traded for 176 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: a falling star, right, They went out and they caught 177 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: a falling star. So they're like, all right, we want 178 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: that all right now, we must go to the other 179 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: part of this trade. We must go to the other 180 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: part of the trade. Everyone in baseball is like, what 181 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: are they doing when I say they we're going to 182 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: the Upper Midwest now the last word, and that would 183 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: be the other side of this transaction. Do you have 184 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: any advice to those Twins fans on how to deal 185 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: with what some are saying is the single most embarrassing 186 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: day in baseball history for a franchise giving up And 187 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: that's where Minnesota Twins of twenty twenty five. So do 188 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: you have anything an advice for the Twins on how 189 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: to deal with an epic day of transactions as they 190 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: unloaded the big league roster at the trade deadline. So 191 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: my advice would be, you know, the cover I think 192 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: this was like a cover band for the four seasons, 193 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: right this is the fifth season, we'll call it and 194 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: this season, and this is my advice to you in 195 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: Minnesota is apathy. It's apathy season. No more Minnesota and Ice. 196 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: Don't even bother getting mad. Don't get worked into a ladder. 197 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: The pole Ad family that owns the team, they obviously 198 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: don't care. They're not building a winner, They're just clearing debt, 199 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: and it's just a line item on a spreadsheet. They're 200 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: trying to get rid of debt to sell the team. 201 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: So they're trimming the fat like a chef that's got 202 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: that big knife there and trying to trim away the fat. 203 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: And so they're trying to get the books right, as 204 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: I understand it, to sell the team and then they 205 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: can buy another yacht with all the money. Do you 206 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: think they care about you the fan? You think the 207 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins care about you the fan? They showed you. 208 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: They gave you the middle finger with these trays, right, 209 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: And so I got no skin in the game, but 210 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: I am sick of earing well. I mean, look at 211 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: the hall they got back. They're smart. They weren't gonna 212 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: win anyway. Look at all the minor league players they 213 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: got enough. Tommy, you're a maron. This was a competitive 214 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: team that granted they were going the wrong direction. But 215 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: everyone's a fringe playoff content these days because they keep 216 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: adding wild card teams. And I've just not been raised 217 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: that way. I know a lot of you are losers 218 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: and you've been raised that way, but I was taught 219 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: not to just quit, not to give up on purpose, 220 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what I saw from the Minnesota Twins. 221 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: Oh but we got prospects. Oh that's great. Why don't 222 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: you make out with your prospects? Right, wonderful. It's the 223 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: currency of the coward. Prospects. Oh, they're gonna be so good. 224 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: It's so funny to me how many people are just 225 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: complete morons when it comes to prospects. I give you 226 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: an example. Team I liked the Dodgers a couple of 227 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: years ago. The other guy named Trevor May, who was 228 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: a top prospect. Oh, he's a great prospect. The guy sucks. 229 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: The Dodgers gave him to the Red Sox. He's terrible. 230 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: They had another top prospect a couple years back named 231 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: James Outman, who also blows. By the way, he's going 232 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: to the Twins. So congratulating, but he was a top prospect. Oh, man, 233 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: look at the prospect all you losers, you guys, look 234 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: at these prospects. You pull your pants down. You're so excited. 235 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: It's embarrassing, right, embarrassing. So I mean they traded they 236 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: had a decent to good bullpen. They traded their bullpen, 237 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: the entire bullpen, half your roster, and you got and 238 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: maybe that'll be good. I mean that maybe that guy 239 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: would be good. I don't know. Give me a break, 240 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, you do what you want. My advice 241 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: would be not to spend a dime and make that 242 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: stadium like it was COVID in Minnesota, beautiful ballpark. But 243 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: maybe like COVID was no one there. Go rent a 244 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: boat and enjoy Lake Minnetonka instead. But for the twins, 245 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean my not one dime, all right. You don't 246 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: go to the ballpark, You don't buy a hat, a bobblehead, 247 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: you don't even you don't comment on social media because 248 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: that means you care. Force them to win your trust 249 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: back because they just violated the bubble of trust. So 250 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: force them to earn your trust back because they deserve it. 251 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: This is apathy season. That is my advice, pure cold 252 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: blooded Minnesota winter weather grade apathy. Right, And you don't yell, 253 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: you don't scream, You just kind of walk away, because 254 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: it's all about the emotion, and the emotion means you're 255 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: still engaged. The emotion means that you still care. You 256 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: give a damn. Apathy means you're not a customer anymore. 257 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: You don't care about their product. And if they're playing 258 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: in front of you, you're not gonna even look, You're 259 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: gonna turn your back and go the other way. They've 260 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: lost you. And that's the way you have to approach you. 261 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: You have to and that's what the Twins earned. Every 262 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: action has a reaction, and that should be the reaction. 263 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: And nothing you get, absolutely nothing. That would be my advice. Now, 264 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: is that gonna happen? Do I know? There's always the 265 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: fanboys no matter what. Ah, we love the prospects. Oh, 266 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm so excited. This is such a great you know, 267 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: there's always those losers. Got to hate those people. They're 268 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: always out there. Right, Oh, this is going to be 269 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: great now five years from now. It is really the 270 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: ultimate hustle for a couple of reason. And I'm not 271 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: going to rant about that. I will rant at some 272 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: point in the future about my belief that the Major 273 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: League Baseball pipeline is one of the all time great 274 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: scams ever put in the world of sports. So I'll 275 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: do that another day. I just will sum this up 276 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: by pointing out how absurd it is to sell five 277 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: years from now. Right, Does any other business get away 278 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: with that when they have a shareholders meeting an Apple, 279 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: do they say, Hey, these iPhones are going to absolutely 280 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: stink for the next four years, but in year five, 281 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: I think we'll have a good one, right, I think 282 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: we'll be pretty good there in year five. Like in 283 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: the car business, when they're making automobiles, do the people 284 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: at Toyota say, well, you know, we don't really have 285 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: any good cars, and I don't think we have any 286 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: for the next couple of years. But if you check 287 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: back with this in five or six years, I think 288 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: that one of these cars that were thinking about the prototypes, 289 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: I think they might be pretty good. But yet in 290 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: sports you're able to get away with it. It's like, why 291 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: is that? Why are they allowed to get away with that? 292 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: I just don't I don't understand that mindset. I was 293 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: not raised that way watching sports. But hey, these throw 294 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: it anyway if you would like to be part the 295 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: balance of power. I don't think the balance of power 296 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: shifted with any of these trades. There were a lot 297 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: of trades. I just like that we can tell who 298 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: actually is trying to win and who's not trying to win. 299 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, the Dodgers are on that 300 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: we're not trying to win. List my Dodgers. I mean, hey, 301 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: I thought was Fred Claire back as the GM there? 302 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: My god, I thought it was like the eighties. Take 303 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: a nap of the trade deadline. Holy crap eight seven 304 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine 305 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: six six three six y nine, if you'd like to 306 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: be part.

The Chargers and Lions played practice football 312 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: there in Kent, Ohio. That must not see TV, is 313 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: what that is?

We'll get to that, and as well, 319 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: the one that didn't get away, the one that didn't 320 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 1: get away, we'll go there.

The last couple of years when they'd played 382 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: Olympic Stadium and there'd be seventeen people there, Chip and 383 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: the Queues, it was friends and family. Chip in the 384 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: que he was right, since says eight plus on the 385 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: Male of monologue. Maybe Carlos Carea didn't work out in 386 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: Minnesota because the Twins wouldn't let him cheat. Since we 387 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: all know the Asstros will allow him to do that, 388 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: don't be surprised if he starts putting up stats again. 389 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: All right, Brock off topic says, I said Jim Harball 390 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: will make a starting quarterback out of Trey Lance. The 391 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: process has begun. Yeah, well we'll get to that. I yeah, 392 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: I had a feeling that was gonna be a storyline. 393 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: My god, what are we doing? What else do we have? 394 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: Filler up? Phil says the Twins stadium be like thanks 395 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: for nothing. Yeah, Spock's weed writes in from the Oregon Trail, 396 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: he says, there's a great gem there, and then the 397 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: Mala monologue. Major League Baseball needs to create an award 398 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: called the Golden trash Can for the most shady player 399 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: or team of the year. If a Major League Baseball 400 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: won't do it, we should. It's a great idea. 401 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 5: Yeah. 402 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: Jbo writes in, says you're spot on, Ben. The Twins' 403 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: owners just suck. Most fans are sick of their penny 404 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: pinching waists. You suck. There's still some pull, lad pocket 405 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: protectors that will argue it was worth it. Yeah. Jbo says, 406 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: I wanted to see a game at some point this season, 407 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: but I am not spending my money there. Yeah, just 408 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: go down there. I was when I was in Minneso 409 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: a while back. We went to the stadium. We didn't 410 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: go to a game. We walked around just to hang out. 411 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: There's got the Rod Caruz statue, the Kirby status, a 412 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: bunch of statues, so you can go take some photos there. 413 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: I like the Bear mascot statue. You can do that 414 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: and knock yourself out. Jill Wrights And says, everyone called 415 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: in to k Fan today in Minnesota there and said 416 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: the Twins would be lucky to sell out the field 417 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: where the Saint Paul Saints play ten thousand fans. I 418 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: live in the Twin Cities. My Yankees didn't do much either. 419 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: The Bednar move was pretty good, and the Yankees did 420 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: more than the Dodgers. I thought the Yankees were okay, 421 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: like Bednar's nasty, although all those relief pitchers are ticking 422 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: time bombs. Earlier this summer, Bednar was so messed up 423 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: in the head the Pirates sent him to the minor leagues. 424 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: And now at the trade deadline, they end up trading 425 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: him to the Yankees.

I did not know that 430 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: he worked at Chase Field there for them many years. 431 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: I bought many tickets, went to a couple hundred games 432 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: on off days. Now the Diamondbacks are giving up. I 433 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: said it earlier today. No emotion, just walking away there 434 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: you go, looking forward to the Dodgers and the podresh 435 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: Man Podres's. That's some trading there. That's how you do 436 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: a trade deadline, kids, you just trade the entire minor 437 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: league system. Eh. Absolutely. Scrooge rights in from Northern California says, 438 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 1: after all these trade deadline day, trade deadline d did 439 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: anyone else from the Mallond militia get traded for a 440 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: bag of nothing? Yeah? Well, we actually did trade hollering James, 441 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 1: and we traded him to the Twins. But the Twins 442 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: traded him back, and so unfortunately James is back in 443 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: the Mallard Militia Late Night Drug tester says, I will 444 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: say this about the Twins. Nobody has fielded a bigger 445 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: group of miners since Jeffrey Epstein. Wow, well, lame jokes 446 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: are actually coming up in a couple hours, so I 447 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: don't know. That's like a premature lame joke. Andy, and 448 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: Lino lakes right, since he says ten ten out of 449 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: ten on the Mallard monologue, the pole Ad family one 450 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: of the richest owners in baseball. I have not been 451 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: to a game or spent a diamond ten years on 452 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: that team. I'm tired of the way they run the franchise, 453 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: sell the team already. It's an embarrassment to Minnesota, he says. 454 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: And Brian, a Twinkies fan, says, Ben, I just listened 455 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: to your rant about the Twins, and thank you for 456 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: coming down hard on the pathetic organization. The pole Ads 457 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: are one of the worst ownership groups I've seen in 458 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: any sport. And yes, it's time for fans to completely 459 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: stop buying tickets merch After the bird was shown to 460 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: the fans there, it's really the only shot you got. 461 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: It's the only in his dice. It's not a guarantee, 462 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: and it has worked. It has worked a few times. 463 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: The most famous example that was in Los Angeles when 464 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: the Dodgers had this guy who was kind of like 465 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: the pole aage Frank McCourt, who owned the team, and 466 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: his idea of the big pickup was he stopped Choi. 467 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: That was his big move there when he owned the Dodgers, 468 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: and the fans just stopped going. They stopped supporting the team, 469 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: and major League Baseball freaked out, and that's how they 470 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: got the deal where the Dodgers now have this group 471 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: that it usually goes for it. They didn't go for 472 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: it this year at the trade deadline, but they normally 473 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: go for it, and the stadium's packed. They have a 474 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: huge television deal, all that stuff, and so it's a 475 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: It was about twenty years the Dodgers were run like 476 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins for a while. 477 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 5: There. 478 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: There you go.

So you enjoy Hulk Hogan day. What do 619 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: you do? Some vitamins? Do some steroids?

I want to try the 622 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: ripping of the shirt. Okay, Well, I think a lot 623 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: of people would like that. If you put it on 624 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: the internet, they probably like that a lot. Triple H. 625 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: Here's a here's a wrestling relator. So Triple I guess 626 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: he was. They had a ceremony at the White House. 627 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: They're bringing back the presidential test. You know, this used 628 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: to when I was a kid. This was the thing. 629 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 1: They got rid of it fifteen years ago or something 630 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: like that. So they had some ceremony the White House 631 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: to announce to bring this back. But Triple H was there, 632 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: and it was the President announced they're going to have 633 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: this fitness test now for kids in school, which was 634 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: what they had it for years and then they got 635 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: rid of it. The only reason I'm bringing this up 636 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: is because Triple H did his signature water spit entrance 637 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: at the White House, which is just you can't make 638 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 1: this stuff up. I mean, it's just outstanding. The fountains 639 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: out of the mouth. Well you see the video, you'll 640 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm what I'm talking about there. But yeah, 641 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: he was at the meeting and he was a film 642 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: doing his signature spit. I was technically outside the White House, 643 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: but I believe it was still on White House ground. 644 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: So he did at least walk out of the White 645 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: House proper, and he was, of course recorded. He took 646 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: the drink, he had a bottle of water. He was 647 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: wearing the suit triple eight at h rather and then 648 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: he he did the signature move there and put his 649 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: arms out extended there and spit and one of the 650 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: great moments in American history right there. Anyway, think about it, 651 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: legendary presidents, and you think of Lincoln, you think of Washington, 652 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: you think you know, the all time greats, and then 653 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: you got this. That's outstanding triple h man. You got 654 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: to keep it real. Gott to keep it real all 655 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: right time. Now for the who am I game?
