Mike McCarthy is office politics guy. And 8 00:00:37,644 --> 00:00:39,964 Speaker 1: I don't mean like he talks politics at the office. 9 00:00:40,044 --> 00:00:42,164 Speaker 1: I mean he is really good at being in an 10 00:00:42,244 --> 00:00:44,404 Speaker 1: office setting or working for a company. You've ever worked 11 00:00:44,404 --> 00:00:47,444 Speaker 1: with someone who's real greatest talent is they just know 12 00:00:47,484 --> 00:00:50,764 Speaker 1: how to email, well, they know how to backchannel and 13 00:00:50,844 --> 00:00:53,764 Speaker 1: vilify someone. They kind of just know how to survive. 14 00:00:53,964 --> 00:00:57,644 Speaker 1: And you're like, why has Jean been here for sixteen years? 15 00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,084 Speaker 1: I don't even know what Gene does. I'm not even 16 00:01:00,124 --> 00:01:04,084 Speaker 1: sure what is bringing to the table. Like Jean shows 17 00:01:04,164 --> 00:01:06,044 Speaker 1: up when the boss is there, he writes the right 18 00:01:06,084 --> 00:01:09,484 Speaker 1: group email, he does the BCC or the reply only 19 00:01:09,604 --> 00:01:12,404 Speaker 1: to the reply all, and Gene knows how to survive. 20 00:01:13,124 --> 00:01:15,764 Speaker 1: Gene is Mike McCarthy who is not a bad guy, 21 00:01:15,804 --> 00:01:20,404 Speaker 1: who doesn't even have a bad team, but has a terrible, terrible, 22 00:01:20,604 --> 00:01:23,964 Speaker 1: terrible thing going on right now, and that every single 23 00:01:24,044 --> 00:01:26,884 Speaker 1: time the Cowboys play a home game, they're not only losing, 24 00:01:27,044 --> 00:01:31,244 Speaker 1: they're getting destroyed by halftime fifteen plus points in four 25 00:01:31,324 --> 00:01:34,444 Speaker 1: straight home games. That is what they've been down by. 26 00:01:34,524 --> 00:01:37,204 Speaker 1: It's never been done in history, not in the modern era, 27 00:01:37,644 --> 00:01:40,764 Speaker 1: not since the merger. It's never been done ever. And 28 00:01:40,844 --> 00:01:43,764 Speaker 1: yet if you have the gall to even suggest to 29 00:01:43,844 --> 00:01:47,884 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, Hey, Jerry, the team's terrible. They just lost 30 00:01:47,924 --> 00:01:50,484 Speaker 1: me about eighty points. It's the worst home loss since 31 00:01:50,524 --> 00:01:52,804 Speaker 1: you took over the team in the late nineteen eighties, 32 00:01:53,004 --> 00:01:55,324 Speaker 1: she think maybe you might think about replacing him the 33 00:01:55,324 --> 00:01:57,764 Speaker 1: head coach. Jerry gets so mad at you, and he 34 00:01:57,804 --> 00:01:59,684 Speaker 1: loses that twinkle in his eye and he says to 35 00:01:59,724 --> 00:02:02,004 Speaker 1: the reporter, do you think I'm an idiot? And the 36 00:02:02,044 --> 00:02:04,764 Speaker 1: reporter is like, ah, I think yes, but to say 37 00:02:04,764 --> 00:02:07,884 Speaker 1: that so no. It's been such a strange dynamic with 38 00:02:07,964 --> 00:02:11,684 Speaker 1: Jerry right now. He loves Mike McCarthy and it's like, well, 39 00:02:11,684 --> 00:02:13,324 Speaker 1: he has fired a guy in the middle of the season. 40 00:02:13,404 --> 00:02:15,644 Speaker 1: Before he fired Wade Phillips when they started, I think 41 00:02:15,644 --> 00:02:18,124 Speaker 1: it was one in seven and they'd been the division 42 00:02:18,164 --> 00:02:19,924 Speaker 1: around the year before things were going well, He's like, 43 00:02:19,964 --> 00:02:21,844 Speaker 1: get the hell out of here. They hired Jason Garrett, 44 00:02:21,844 --> 00:02:23,564 Speaker 1: they win their first two, they finished five and three. 45 00:02:23,804 --> 00:02:26,844 Speaker 1: Firing coaches usually works, And my last take on that is, 46 00:02:26,884 --> 00:02:29,444 Speaker 1: I think teams don't like to be the first franchise 47 00:02:29,484 --> 00:02:31,604 Speaker 1: in a given season to fire their head coach. You 48 00:02:31,604 --> 00:02:33,764 Speaker 1: don't want to be first. Well, the Jets already took 49 00:02:33,764 --> 00:02:36,004 Speaker 1: care of that, so now it's like, not it open season, 50 00:02:36,284 --> 00:02:38,284 Speaker 1: And I just don't know if Mike McCarthy is still 51 00:02:38,364 --> 00:02:41,284 Speaker 1: keeping the job now after an offseason which Emtt Smith 52 00:02:41,284 --> 00:02:43,724 Speaker 1: and others went around going on every single show being like, 53 00:02:43,884 --> 00:02:46,364 Speaker 1: why is he still the head coach of this beloved franchise. 54 00:02:46,604 --> 00:02:48,164 Speaker 1: I don't know when they're gonna let him go. I 55 00:02:48,244 --> 00:02:50,764 Speaker 1: just don't they should, but they don't. That's a long take. 56 00:02:50,804 --> 00:02:52,164 Speaker 1: That was almost two and a half minutes. I burned 57 00:02:52,204 --> 00:02:55,484 Speaker 1: on Mike McCarthy, twenty times longer than Jerry Jones is 58 00:02:55,524 --> 00:02:58,924 Speaker 1: spent considering to replace him. Take number two, Aiden Hutchinson. 59 00:02:59,004 --> 00:03:02,244 Speaker 1: Thing just sucks. I'm so upset about this because the 60 00:03:02,284 --> 00:03:03,884 Speaker 1: Lions are so cool and I thought they're gonna win 61 00:03:03,884 --> 00:03:05,204 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. This year, and I say that in 62 00:03:05,204 --> 00:03:07,564 Speaker 1: past Tens. Can they win the Super Bowl without their 63 00:03:07,564 --> 00:03:11,044 Speaker 1: best pass rusher, without maybe their best top to bottom player, 64 00:03:11,324 --> 00:03:13,804 Speaker 1: without their most important player outside of Jared Goff? I 65 00:03:13,804 --> 00:03:15,324 Speaker 1: think is Ay and Huchson. He's gone, he broke his 66 00:03:15,404 --> 00:03:17,244 Speaker 1: leg and things Snap is gone. I'm trying to think 67 00:03:17,284 --> 00:03:19,604 Speaker 1: of another team that could conceivably win the Super Bowl 68 00:03:19,644 --> 00:03:23,044 Speaker 1: this year that could lose a non quarterback as important 69 00:03:23,084 --> 00:03:25,484 Speaker 1: to their team as Hutchinson. You know, we're seeing it 70 00:03:25,524 --> 00:03:27,444 Speaker 1: with the Niners and McCaffrey. They're just not the same. 71 00:03:27,684 --> 00:03:30,604 Speaker 1: Maybe the Ravens and Derrick Henry, but they've done things 72 00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:32,564 Speaker 1: without him, and they could do things without him if 73 00:03:32,604 --> 00:03:35,164 Speaker 1: he was gone. I think they're gonna be in the playoffs, 74 00:03:35,164 --> 00:03:37,284 Speaker 1: think they may win playoff games, win the super Bowl 75 00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:40,724 Speaker 1: without Hutchinson. It's tough to ask. I feel so bad 76 00:03:40,764 --> 00:03:42,884 Speaker 1: about that because the Lions are such a cool story. 77 00:03:43,084 --> 00:03:45,684 Speaker 1: The injury gods are cruel and they demand sacrifice, and 78 00:03:45,724 --> 00:03:48,524 Speaker 1: they just took it take number three. I think Dereck 79 00:03:48,564 --> 00:03:50,804 Speaker 1: Henry is the MVP right now. And I don't say 80 00:03:50,804 --> 00:03:53,444 Speaker 1: it to just have a different take and be nuts 81 00:03:53,484 --> 00:03:55,604 Speaker 1: and get engagement. I just don't run this thing or 82 00:03:55,604 --> 00:03:57,684 Speaker 1: anything I do this way. I watch them and I'm like, 83 00:03:57,764 --> 00:03:59,644 Speaker 1: I think, right now, he's the best player on the 84 00:03:59,724 --> 00:04:01,724 Speaker 1: ravens Lamar is Lamar, I get it. And Zay Flowers 85 00:04:01,764 --> 00:04:04,484 Speaker 1: has been great. Dereck Henry has never looked better. Hate 86 00:04:04,524 --> 00:04:06,364 Speaker 1: to be on pace guy, especially around the end of 87 00:04:06,404 --> 00:04:09,644 Speaker 1: baseball season, but like, he's putting up two thousand yard 88 00:04:09,724 --> 00:04:13,204 Speaker 1: season numbers and he's much much older than anyone should 89 00:04:13,204 --> 00:04:15,724 Speaker 1: ever be doing that. He's never looked smoother, He's never 90 00:04:15,764 --> 00:04:18,844 Speaker 1: looked better. I'm talking prime Titans years. I'm talking about 91 00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:21,924 Speaker 1: Alabama years. It is so cool to watch him and 92 00:04:21,964 --> 00:04:25,964 Speaker 1: the story of an NFL running back being MVP first 93 00:04:26,004 --> 00:04:28,444 Speaker 1: since Adrian Peterson and him doing it at this stage 94 00:04:28,484 --> 00:04:30,844 Speaker 1: on a second team would be amazing. I don't see 95 00:04:30,844 --> 00:04:34,284 Speaker 1: an offensive player who destroys more defenses right now other 96 00:04:34,324 --> 00:04:36,084 Speaker 1: than Derek Henry. You can name a few US five. 97 00:04:36,204 --> 00:04:39,724 Speaker 1: Dereck Henry's my pick. Take number four. Caleb Williams has arrived. 98 00:04:39,884 --> 00:04:42,484 Speaker 1: It is really cool to watch Bears. Fans should be excited. 99 00:04:42,524 --> 00:04:45,684 Speaker 1: They really should. And if you're thinking, like, well, he's playing, well, 100 00:04:45,684 --> 00:04:47,924 Speaker 1: who cares he beat the Jaguars, I totally get that. 101 00:04:48,204 --> 00:04:50,444 Speaker 1: But Also, Bears fans are always looking for this wide 102 00:04:50,764 --> 00:04:53,964 Speaker 1: sweeping change, like we're erasing history and stuff like that. 103 00:04:54,124 --> 00:04:56,124 Speaker 1: And if you really want to see things, they're out there. 104 00:04:56,244 --> 00:04:58,964 Speaker 1: The Bears have scored thirty five points in consecutive games 105 00:04:58,964 --> 00:05:01,764 Speaker 1: for the first time since Mark Tressman was their head coach. 106 00:05:01,924 --> 00:05:04,284 Speaker 1: You may not even remember Mark Tressman. I don't know, 107 00:05:04,284 --> 00:05:07,244 Speaker 1: so Bears ownership remembers Mark Treustman. He was the head 108 00:05:07,244 --> 00:05:09,324 Speaker 1: coach and they're doing things the first time since he 109 00:05:09,404 --> 00:05:12,604 Speaker 1: was there. The Bears have five offensive touchdowns and back 110 00:05:12,644 --> 00:05:16,004 Speaker 1: to back games since the mid fifties. The nineteen fifties, 111 00:05:16,044 --> 00:05:18,484 Speaker 1: like Elvis Presley was a big deal the last time 112 00:05:18,524 --> 00:05:20,764 Speaker 1: they did what they're doing. So, yes, there is wide 113 00:05:20,804 --> 00:05:24,404 Speaker 1: sweeping change. Is Caleb better than Jayden Daniels, I don't know. 114 00:05:24,804 --> 00:05:26,964 Speaker 1: He looks better than Justin Fields and Mitch Trubisky, and 115 00:05:27,004 --> 00:05:28,964 Speaker 1: right now he looks better than Jay Cutler. It's an 116 00:05:29,004 --> 00:05:31,484 Speaker 1: awesome thing to see. The description I would come up 117 00:05:31,524 --> 00:05:34,644 Speaker 1: with it is he is in command out there. He 118 00:05:34,764 --> 00:05:37,724 Speaker 1: is like calm and poised, and he makes people roll 119 00:05:37,764 --> 00:05:40,204 Speaker 1: their eyes by saying he never gets nervous for football games, 120 00:05:40,284 --> 00:05:41,604 Speaker 1: and then you watch him you're like, hey, he doesn't 121 00:05:41,604 --> 00:05:43,844 Speaker 1: look nervous at all. Even when he's not playing well, 122 00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:45,724 Speaker 1: even when he throws a pick you may say he's 123 00:05:45,764 --> 00:05:47,964 Speaker 1: not great. He does not look nervous. His pulse does 124 00:05:48,004 --> 00:05:49,844 Speaker 1: not bounce. It is a very cool thing to watch. 125 00:05:49,884 --> 00:05:52,444 Speaker 1: Take number five. I hate that they find players for 126 00:05:52,484 --> 00:05:54,724 Speaker 1: throwing the ball in the stands after touchdowns. I think 127 00:05:54,764 --> 00:05:57,684 Speaker 1: they still do that. DeAndre Swift did it in London. 128 00:05:58,004 --> 00:06:00,844 Speaker 1: What is the point of that is just to discourage 129 00:06:00,884 --> 00:06:02,884 Speaker 1: it because the NFL has gone a long way in 130 00:06:03,124 --> 00:06:06,444 Speaker 1: encouraging healthy sellf librations over the last five years. It's 131 00:06:06,444 --> 00:06:08,124 Speaker 1: one of the most exciting things in the world. At 132 00:06:08,124 --> 00:06:09,924 Speaker 1: a baseball game, if you can catch a baseball I'm 133 00:06:09,924 --> 00:06:12,604 Speaker 1: talking about home run, foul ball player toss them into 134 00:06:12,604 --> 00:06:14,604 Speaker 1: the stands, that is a life story. I'm asually, if 135 00:06:14,604 --> 00:06:17,604 Speaker 1: you caught a football and it's way less dangerous than 136 00:06:17,644 --> 00:06:19,284 Speaker 1: baseball is, it's not going to hurt you. It's not 137 00:06:19,324 --> 00:06:21,964 Speaker 1: as hard, it's not traveling as fast. What is the 138 00:06:21,964 --> 00:06:25,244 Speaker 1: punitive nature for DeAndre Swift tosses the ball into a 139 00:06:25,284 --> 00:06:28,044 Speaker 1: stands in a London game and some British person hopefully 140 00:06:28,164 --> 00:06:29,844 Speaker 1: gets the ball on his a life story. Why are 141 00:06:29,844 --> 00:06:31,804 Speaker 1: we finding people for that? I think we should find 142 00:06:31,804 --> 00:06:34,324 Speaker 1: them if they don't do it. Take number six, The 143 00:06:34,444 --> 00:06:37,244 Speaker 1: Chargers woke up. One of the sleepiest teams right now 144 00:06:37,284 --> 00:06:39,284 Speaker 1: was a two and two Jim Harbaugh team that goes 145 00:06:39,324 --> 00:06:41,324 Speaker 1: on a buy. No one's talking about, no one's that 146 00:06:41,364 --> 00:06:43,924 Speaker 1: impressed with him, and Justin Herbert's not doing anything. They 147 00:06:43,924 --> 00:06:46,084 Speaker 1: come out of the by and they wax this Broncos 148 00:06:46,124 --> 00:06:48,764 Speaker 1: team that had a thing going. Justin Herbert immediately looked 149 00:06:48,804 --> 00:06:50,484 Speaker 1: like the old Herbert. He had not got over one 150 00:06:50,564 --> 00:06:52,724 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards yet this season. He did it 151 00:06:52,804 --> 00:06:55,764 Speaker 1: quickly in this game. They still run, they play enough defense, 152 00:06:56,004 --> 00:06:57,444 Speaker 1: and I will still tell you right now, is the 153 00:06:57,524 --> 00:06:59,644 Speaker 1: Chargers sitting three and two. I think they're winning eleven 154 00:06:59,684 --> 00:07:01,884 Speaker 1: games this year. I said it when Harbaugh was hired. 155 00:07:02,084 --> 00:07:04,164 Speaker 1: I'm not going to deviate it from now. I think 156 00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:06,884 Speaker 1: this is an eleven and six football team, and I 157 00:07:06,884 --> 00:07:09,004 Speaker 1: think they're about to go on a run. Take number seven. 158 00:07:09,404 --> 00:07:13,124 Speaker 1: Texans are excellent. They're just an excellent team. That's all 159 00:07:13,124 --> 00:07:17,924 Speaker 1: I got. Take number eight. Nick Sirianni. Okay, so Sirianni 160 00:07:18,044 --> 00:07:20,924 Speaker 1: saw the footage and he's screaming at people in the stands, 161 00:07:20,964 --> 00:07:24,004 Speaker 1: and he's gesturing and he's pointing at himself, and he's 162 00:07:24,044 --> 00:07:28,444 Speaker 1: just basically talking bleep. And the common, easy every man take, 163 00:07:28,484 --> 00:07:32,164 Speaker 1: which I respect, is, dude, you just barely beat the terrible, terrible, 164 00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:35,124 Speaker 1: terrible terrible Browns and you have something to say about it. 165 00:07:35,124 --> 00:07:37,644 Speaker 1: You just eat by the Browns. I get that take. 166 00:07:37,644 --> 00:07:41,044 Speaker 1: I don't even disagree with that take. Nick Siriani is 167 00:07:41,084 --> 00:07:43,764 Speaker 1: a goober. That's the word I came up with for him. 168 00:07:43,804 --> 00:07:46,764 Speaker 1: I'm trying to describe different words. There's many words I 169 00:07:46,764 --> 00:07:49,044 Speaker 1: could say that I can't really say in media or 170 00:07:49,044 --> 00:07:52,044 Speaker 1: on TV. They're vulgar. But he's a goober, and a 171 00:07:52,044 --> 00:07:56,524 Speaker 1: goobri to find is someone who acts foolish and stupid sometimes, 172 00:07:56,564 --> 00:07:58,244 Speaker 1: but you still sort of like him when they do 173 00:07:58,284 --> 00:08:00,204 Speaker 1: it in spite of themselves, and they're still your buddy. 174 00:08:00,444 --> 00:08:03,324 Speaker 1: I have friends who are goobers. I'm a goober sometimes. 175 00:08:03,524 --> 00:08:06,364 Speaker 1: I look at Nick with his gooper sideline presence and 176 00:08:06,404 --> 00:08:08,604 Speaker 1: his goober haircut, and his goober sound bites and his 177 00:08:08,684 --> 00:08:11,684 Speaker 1: goober Rocky references, and that's just who he is. And 178 00:08:11,764 --> 00:08:14,844 Speaker 1: if Philadelphia Radio hates him for it, I don't begrudgs 179 00:08:14,844 --> 00:08:16,884 Speaker 1: you that point, you're very close to it. But he 180 00:08:16,924 --> 00:08:19,044 Speaker 1: has been a goober since he showed up. He has 181 00:08:19,084 --> 00:08:21,444 Speaker 1: been a goober in taking every Eagles team he's ever 182 00:08:21,484 --> 00:08:23,484 Speaker 1: coached to the playoffs. He was a goober on the 183 00:08:23,484 --> 00:08:25,644 Speaker 1: way to the super Bowl. He's a goober now. He's 184 00:08:25,684 --> 00:08:27,444 Speaker 1: going to goober next year on his next team. If 185 00:08:27,484 --> 00:08:29,244 Speaker 1: you fire him, you're not going to fire the goober. 186 00:08:29,404 --> 00:08:32,004 Speaker 1: That is just who he is. And if you don't 187 00:08:32,084 --> 00:08:34,244 Speaker 1: like it, then get rid of him. But don't expect 188 00:08:34,244 --> 00:08:36,124 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden next Rianne is going to 189 00:08:36,164 --> 00:08:39,124 Speaker 1: start acting presidential and understated. And if you watch that 190 00:08:39,124 --> 00:08:40,724 Speaker 1: clip I from me on in the stands, you may 191 00:08:40,724 --> 00:08:42,964 Speaker 1: hate it. The players are all laughing their asses off. 192 00:08:43,004 --> 00:08:45,404 Speaker 1: They seem to love it. CJ. Gardner Johnson, who talks 193 00:08:45,444 --> 00:08:47,084 Speaker 1: more trash than anybody in the league, is like, that's 194 00:08:47,124 --> 00:08:48,924 Speaker 1: my coach, and I love that he talks like that. 195 00:08:48,964 --> 00:08:51,284 Speaker 1: I don't want any other coach. It's pretty cool. Take 196 00:08:51,364 --> 00:08:54,204 Speaker 1: number nine. The New York Giants are so bad, and 197 00:08:54,244 --> 00:08:57,284 Speaker 1: they're so bad offensively, and they're so bad at home. 198 00:08:57,444 --> 00:09:01,644 Speaker 1: We're trying to support Daniel Jones. I don't like pincushions 199 00:09:01,644 --> 00:09:04,404 Speaker 1: and crash test dummies. We just beat up on mercilessly 200 00:09:04,404 --> 00:09:06,844 Speaker 1: as players. Dana Jones never hurt anybody. He's just not 201 00:09:06,884 --> 00:09:08,804 Speaker 1: that good at football. So we're trying over the last 202 00:09:08,804 --> 00:09:10,324 Speaker 1: few weeks to be like, you know what, Dan Jones 203 00:09:10,364 --> 00:09:12,564 Speaker 1: is good. In fact, he has almost identical numbers to 204 00:09:12,604 --> 00:09:14,644 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes this year if you put him side by side, 205 00:09:14,684 --> 00:09:16,444 Speaker 1: and it's true. And then he just goes and plays 206 00:09:16,444 --> 00:09:18,804 Speaker 1: an absolute nothing game like he always does in primetime 207 00:09:18,804 --> 00:09:21,164 Speaker 1: and he always does at home. But that kills me? 208 00:09:21,244 --> 00:09:23,564 Speaker 1: Is this the Giants one hundredth season. They're trying so 209 00:09:23,644 --> 00:09:26,124 Speaker 1: hard to honor their past. How many times are we 210 00:09:26,164 --> 00:09:28,684 Speaker 1: going to march out the old Giants? How many times 211 00:09:28,764 --> 00:09:30,804 Speaker 1: we have to see guys WHI love like Eli and 212 00:09:30,964 --> 00:09:33,044 Speaker 1: Justin Tuck and a close friend of mine Sean O'Hare. 213 00:09:33,644 --> 00:09:36,964 Speaker 1: When you do that and your team currently sucks and 214 00:09:36,964 --> 00:09:39,564 Speaker 1: they're embarrassing themselves, you start to feel like the guy 215 00:09:39,604 --> 00:09:41,764 Speaker 1: who still has like the prom garter belt and his 216 00:09:41,844 --> 00:09:44,764 Speaker 1: rearview mirror and still has the letter jacket and still 217 00:09:44,764 --> 00:09:47,164 Speaker 1: listens to White Snake. It's like, dude, your high school 218 00:09:47,204 --> 00:09:48,964 Speaker 1: days are over. We got to talk about the now. 219 00:09:49,364 --> 00:09:52,844 Speaker 1: You don't need your prom graduation tassel hanging from the 220 00:09:52,924 --> 00:09:55,324 Speaker 1: rear view next to that garter belt. Take number ten. 221 00:09:55,564 --> 00:09:58,124 Speaker 1: You got to know your kids. My kid, Calvin is 222 00:09:58,124 --> 00:10:00,284 Speaker 1: a left handed hitter who's playing baseball right now and 223 00:10:00,324 --> 00:10:02,644 Speaker 1: has struggle with his batting stance and his swing for 224 00:10:02,684 --> 00:10:04,884 Speaker 1: like six months. And I keep trying to get him 225 00:10:04,884 --> 00:10:07,004 Speaker 1: to not pull his right shoulder back because it's messing 226 00:10:07,044 --> 00:10:08,564 Speaker 1: up his swing. So I say, Calvity's a left ten. 227 00:10:08,844 --> 00:10:10,604 Speaker 1: Hit it to left center. Hit it to left center, 228 00:10:10,724 --> 00:10:12,284 Speaker 1: hit it over the short steps, said to left center, 229 00:10:12,324 --> 00:10:14,044 Speaker 1: that's what you want to do, and he just hasn't 230 00:10:14,044 --> 00:10:15,444 Speaker 1: been able to do it. I've told him that for 231 00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:17,364 Speaker 1: six weeks. He can't hit it to left center. This 232 00:10:17,404 --> 00:10:19,164 Speaker 1: past week's I said, Calvin, if you hit the left center, 233 00:10:19,204 --> 00:10:21,644 Speaker 1: I'll buy a PlayStation game. He said, what, first at 234 00:10:21,684 --> 00:10:25,924 Speaker 1: bat hits it to left center. It's unbelievable. He crushed 235 00:10:25,964 --> 00:10:30,084 Speaker 1: this thing like he was Prime Pirates, Barry Bonds before 236 00:10:30,084 --> 00:10:32,644 Speaker 1: all the Royds. As a lefty hitter, he just laced 237 00:10:32,684 --> 00:10:35,324 Speaker 1: one over the shortsteps head the second I said you 238 00:10:35,364 --> 00:10:37,484 Speaker 1: could get a PlayStation game, he did it. So the 239 00:10:37,524 --> 00:10:41,444 Speaker 1: answer is bribe your children with screen time or just 240 00:10:41,604 --> 00:10:43,964 Speaker 1: know what they respond to I'm really ashamed to say 241 00:10:44,004 --> 00:10:47,644 Speaker 1: my ten year old responds two video games. But if 242 00:10:47,644 --> 00:10:49,284 Speaker 1: my dad had told me he'd buy the new Zelda 243 00:10:49,324 --> 00:10:51,644 Speaker 1: cartridge back in nineteen eighty eight, and I needed to 244 00:10:51,684 --> 00:10:53,604 Speaker 1: hit one to right center because I'm a right handed hitter, 245 00:10:53,684 --> 00:10:55,644 Speaker 1: I could probably do it. I went over time. I'm 246 00:10:55,684 --> 00:10:57,324 Speaker 1: not supposed to do it. I broke my own rules. 247 00:10:57,444 --> 00:11:00,364 Speaker 1: That's ten takes. That's ten minutes. I give you a 248 00:11:00,364 --> 00:11:03,644 Speaker 1: perfect ten standing ovation, a five star Yelp review for 249 00:11:03,724 --> 00:11:06,324 Speaker 1: listening the listener my hero.
