Speaker 3: the sporting phone. Okay, excuse me?

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,840

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I texted you like, let's go, and I

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 5: didn't get a text back, and I just.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, part of it was I'm trying to

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: lock myself in. I can't be distracted by your nonsense. Wow,

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: I can't be distracted by the hullaballoon that you try

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: to bring together, just kind of a show to get

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: me to get in my heads and try to take

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: me off my gate.

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 5: No, no, I was actually prepared to drive tonight. But

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 5: that's okay. You'll never learn not to drive if I

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 5: if I don't let you, so go ahead.

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: Look we're still doing this. No, no, no, no, no. It

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 3: was it was the what what is the retort off

34
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: of my list of possible responses so early at a show.

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: I don't have a mute button for you at my desk.

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: It's something I've been arguing for for years. Let me

37
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: just slap it down. So you know, ty Shirt and

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: I are developing hand signals as we're sitting here to

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: start a beautiful Tuesday here at Fox Sports Radio. Appreciate

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: the team being all assembled here. It's like the Avengers

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: as we get ready for another big day here in

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: the sporting universe. And we'll start with we'll get to

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: Tiger Woods, We'll get to your Arizona Wildcats, We'll get

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: to a lot of here in Los Angeles. It's a

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: very large day. Okay, there's a movie premiere tomorrow. It'll

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: be in your theaters and if you like cartoons, you

47
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: can go and see it. I don't even know that

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna mention the movie's name because well they're not

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: paying me to. But there's a bobblehead associated with it

50
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: tonight at Dodger Stadium to where people were lined up

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: by the hundreds hours before the parking lot open, which

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: means they'd taken over all of the residentials. They'd taken

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 3: over the buses, they'd taken over the trains, planes and

54
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: automobiles to get themselves to Chavez Ravine for the Yamamoto

55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: Yoshi bobblehead part of the Mario Brothers, you know, Super

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: Galaxy movie that comes out tomorrow. So the bobble had

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: already selling for two hundred dollars in the secondary market,

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: so you got that going for you.

59
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: By the way back, I just want to say this,

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 5: and I don't want to be the old man, but

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: when I used to go to Dodger Stadium, it was

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 5: mostly the traffic from the freeway. Once you got off

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 5: the freeway and you started going up the hill where

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: you pay for the parking. I don't know if it's

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: still like that anymore. You were good to go. It

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: wasn't like bumper to bumper or anything like that.

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: They they got you in, they got you going, and

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: it was like that.

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: Now it sounds like you just got horror stories getting

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 5: in and out of Dodger's Day.

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say this going all the way back

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: to let's see, it was two thousand and eight, if

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: I'm remembering correctly, when the police were doing their reunion

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: tour at Dodger Stadium Foo Fighters where the opener we

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: literally circled, and they had us going for a good

77
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: hour in the rings of hell, trying to find a

78
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: parking spot to where my then wife just kind of

79
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: threw me off. She didn't really care about seeing the

80
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: food fighters, so like, I'll figure it out, and ended

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: up parking I guess, like five feet from where she

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: dropped me off, about an hour and a half before

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: I saw her inside the stadium. And then it took

84
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: us two hours after said contest to get out of

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: the parking lot and get on our merry way.

86
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: I've even talking before that.

87
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: I'm talking about like with Garvey and lopes and saying

88
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 5: Russell played for the team.

89
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about.

90
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: You know, you want me to get a little jug

91
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: band playing in the background so we can make you

92
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: feel like you're in the proper.

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 4: Time, exactly exactly, And.

94
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 3: There's already doing his little two steps as we go through.

95
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: But we've got Otani on the mound, so that's a

96
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: huge little wind for us here. He got the childish

97
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: Gambino himself a glover out there with throwing out some

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: first pitches and and all of that stuff. Yamamoto bobblehead day,

99
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: so it's big. The Dodgers offense to this point still

100
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: trying to wake up. We haven't seen any of that yet.

101
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: But it is a curious place, like a lot of

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: these here in Los Angeles. As much as you may

103
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: want to go to an event, you may want to

104
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: go to a movie that's only showing in a couple

105
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: of theaters. You may want to go to television taping.

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: You may want to go to any of the sporting

107
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: venues outside of Angels Stadium. If you want to go,

108
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: you go see your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, or

109
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: go see the Ducks. You can get in and out

110
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: of there fairly easily. Otherwise forget about it. You got

111
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: whatever your time is for your event, and then add

112
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: probably about two and a half to three and a

113
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: half hours getting in and or out of a parking lot. Meanwhile,

114
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: also handing over a day's pay.

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: You know, and you don't understand this because you're in

116
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 5: Los Angeles and everything's fight at dead. You know where

117
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 5: you can get in well, you know where you can

118
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 5: get in out of stadium Sporting is in Florida, Baltimore

119
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 5: and Cincinnati. Did you see the attendances they had for

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: those games? Six thousand, eleven, thirteen thousand, the Marlins played

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 5: your White Sox.

122
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: Nobody goes.

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 5: So you know, all this talk about how baseball is

124
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 5: doing fine, the attendance doesn't show it. The Marlins have

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: got to go. And I know we're not gonna start

126
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: with this, but they've got to go. It's enough is enough.

127
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 5: You gotta get them out of there, and you got

128
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 5: to move them someplace else. And you know, I was

129
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 5: watching the Mets Cardinals game Saint Louis Saint Louis, and

130
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 5: there was plenty of empty seats.

131
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: Many they're the best baseball fans in the world.

132
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: They'll be to tell you, you know what, don't But

133
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: what's keeping them? What's keeping them? Everybody? A wait? I

134
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: know ticket prices have gone up.

135
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 5: I mean, baseball used to be the best bargain in

136
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 5: all the sports. I don't know if it's like that anymore,

137
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 5: to be honest with you. And I know it's a

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 5: school week, it's a Monday, but you know you won't see.

139
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 4: The Lakers like that, or any NBA team half full

140
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 4: like that. I don't understand.

141
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: Well, NBA arenas eighteen to twenty thousand ballparks thirty five

142
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: to fifty, right, I mean there, but I've given you

143
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: six I'm giving I know, but look you also gave

144
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: me the Marlins and the White Sox.

145
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, what happens if the White Sox

146
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: were playing the.

147
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Dodgers where here? Yeah, they're selling it out of course

148
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: people are. But people are coming to see the Dodgers

149
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: right right at this point, unless the White Sox can

150
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: suddenly figure out how to get a nation of people

151
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: following Murakami, who's hit a couple of prodigious blasts to

152
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: get the season started, uh, and to get things rolling

153
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: there in Chicago, unless all of a sudden, he gets

154
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: a cult following that's going to take him to Miami,

155
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: to Milwaukee, to wherever they happen to be playing. Guess what,

156
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: I haint a lot of people going in and saying, Hey,

157
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: let's go see some Cols in Montgomery. Let's go see

158
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: a team that three of the last four years is

159
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: lost one hundred game. See now you're you're hitting me

160
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: where I live here, You're up here on mountain. Get

161
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: crying high with your final four team. Every one of

162
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: my teams sucks.

163
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: Well, what about what was the for the Oreo fans

164
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: or for the Red Cincinnati fans? Cincinnati Reds are one

165
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: of the most historic franchises, not in baseball, but we're

166
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: talking about all the sports I mean. And they're playing

167
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 5: the Pirates, which is a pretty historic franchise.

168
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: Which is great. If Paul Skins is.

169
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: Pitching, right, I understand that it's went out of.

170
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: Five days day is he gonna be on the hill?

171
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: So they're not Pirate fans are just Paul Skiing fans.

172
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: Wow, But if it's the Pirates at home, you're gonna

173
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: get whatever you do.

174
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: Well, the Reds are at home where the Red fans?

175
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: How about that?

176
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: Well, the Reds last year they drew over two million fans.

177
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: That part of this game.

178
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: This was all but I mean it's a long road.

179
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: I mean we're talking spring break, We're talking you may

180
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: still be in school. Whether is a concern. The cost,

181
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: this is where we always get into a little bit

182
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: of a semantics, right, the average cost for a family

183
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: of four. It's like, all right, you go to the

184
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: average seating. It's bad data, right, because if you just

185
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: want to get into the ballpark and go sit in

186
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: the three hundred levels in virtually every state, even at

187
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium for a lot of the games, you can

188
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: get in for twenty bucks. Ahead.

189
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: Oh, I think those days are over, Mike, I don't believe.

190
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, spend a little time on stubhum. I'll teach

191
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: you how to use it. Because last time you were

192
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: telling me your kid needed twenty grand to go see

193
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: a Buffalo Sabers playoff game.

194
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: He still says he needs that money. I'm like, well,

195
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: you better get.

196
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: Your kids in trouble and make sure you put an

197
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 3: air tag and everything he owns and his car and

198
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: his wallets because in his hair, I mean, he's got

199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 3: some other stuff going on. There if he's trying to

200
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: shake you down for twenty k.

201
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: You know, not to jump around, Mike. But what we

202
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: do when you around, Yeah, when I'm rubbing.

203
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: Not only do people not go to games anymore because

204
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: they're too expensive, I sent you an article about where

205
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 5: it said and Plank and I brought this up six

206
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: and ten sports fans actually skip games on TV because

207
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 5: it's too expensive to watch.

208
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: Well, we'll not blame that, yeah, because this comes down

209
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: to consumer choice. And remember really that I I've mentioned

210
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: on this show many a time. The last DJ album

211
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 3: from Tom Petty was a great one, but the music

212
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: Into Your Story hated him because he was calling out

213
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: all the changes, and it became the how much you'll

214
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: pay for what you used to get for free. And

215
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: that's where we're at now and trying to parse it

216
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: out and remembering once upon a time we didn't get

217
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: a lot for free. Yes, you were still paying for cable.

218
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: So whenever anybody goes well it was on heir, I

219
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: was like, well, and I know there are hacks. There

220
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 3: are antenna you can buy to get your local chances

221
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: that's not always going to give you, and there's plenty

222
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: of other devices and websites, if you're willing to take

223
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: some gambles with whether your security but that's online is

224
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: aged slim.

225
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: You know that's few and far between that do that well.

226
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: But I'm saying right, it's just it's a lot about

227
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: optionality and how much you're really invested. If this is

228
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: if the Dodgers are your team, and that's what you

229
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: are locked into, guess what, you're gonna figure out of

230
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: way to go watch it as often as you can.

231
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: Does it mean you're getting to one hundred and sixty two, No,

232
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: because most people aren't anyway, In terms of going to games.

233
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: We think nothing of going out to eat three or

234
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: four times a week. In most households, we think nothing

235
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: of ah, you know what, I'm gonna go take a

236
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: break for lunch. What'd you get nine dollars Starbucks? Like

237
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: all all those you know, but all the way up

238
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: and down the line. And I'm not trying to walllet

239
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 3: chase or certainly looking at mine, I've had plenty of

240
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: ancillary costs that suddenly a lot of things that we

241
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 3: were deciding on whether we're gonna go guess what, we're

242
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: not doing them because because the money got sucked away

243
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: to other things. But it's just that idea of sports

244
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: was always you know, we'll always be able to go,

245
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: and then it got pricey or pricey er like everything else.

246
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 3: Even suddenly they're in the villains yea.

247
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 5: Even spring training in baseball when you go out to Arizona.

248
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: You know it's expensive.

249
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 5: Is that the Cup games or the Dodger games were

250
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: eighty five dollars for the cheapest ticket.

251
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: And again those are the outlier teams, right. It's It's

252
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: one of the things that's always gotten me is the

253
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 3: I remember when we started interleague play and people would complay, oh,

254
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: look at how expensive it is for when the Yankees

255
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,239
Speaker 3: come in. It's like, no kidding, Yes, the Yankees versus

256
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: I don't know the Tampa Bay Rays. Which one's gonna

257
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: draw more demand in any city, not only in the

258
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: United States, on the planet right right, the Yankees hands down,

259
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: And no matter howten you play them, they are a

260
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: draw and comes to cost.

261
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why you got to you gotta move to Marwins.

262
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 5: You can't have them there where you're having constantly under

263
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 5: ten thousand fans.

264
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 4: It's it's an embarrassment, to be honest with you. Nobody

265
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: cares about that.

266
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: Well, but in the end, it's a TV program and

267
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: if the economics of baseball allow them to survive, because

268
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: remember when you get the revenue revenue sharing and you're

269
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: not forced to actually put it back on the field.

270
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: As an owner, what you're running a business. Well, we

271
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 3: can get into it, the ted Lasso and soccer and

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: we are stewards of this, right. We don't own it.

273
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: We're just here for a short time versus oh damn it.

274
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: It's an asset that I own and all I'm doing

275
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: is trying to make it another piggy bank, right, And

276
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: for a lot of owners, that's the case. For the Dodgers,

277
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: they get their cake and eat it too. Wait, we

278
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: can make a lot of money and we can win great.

279
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: But how many organizations are willing to do what it's

280
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: going to cost, willing to put in the infrastructure going

281
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: to the minor leagues and all the way through their training,

282
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: through their facilities and everything else to make that worthwhile,

283
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: to create the creative contract structures and to get the

284
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: buy in from players and agents to do so. There's

285
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: very few. And we talk about this, Arnie, you and

286
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: I've been doing this together for many a year, and

287
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: I'm blessed every time we get to do it. I

288
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 3: loveing more than when the red light comes on and

289
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: you talk about wanting to drive. But all of that,

290
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: I'm old now, so I figured out how to how

291
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: to work the car, but stop jerking the wheel. But

292
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: it's the idea that when when you get down to it,

293
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: there's there's just the the different different leads. You have

294
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: a handful of quote unquote serious organizations and everybody.

295
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: Else, right, and they and they don't bring them money.

296
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 5: I will bet you though, out of our listeners right there,

297
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 5: nine out of ten of our listeners right have not

298
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 5: watched an NFL game because they couldn't get it because

299
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: they didn't have this or that, or they didn't want

300
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 5: to pay for an extra channel, or they didn't have

301
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: the NFL network.

302
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: Or any of the abide.

303
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: But that's a choice you're making with your entertainment people.

304
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 5: Well, that's because the entertainment dollar, as you know, you

305
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: have a lot of things to do out there, Mike.

306
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: Right, But that's just it. If you decide our income.

307
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: Is not big for a lot of people, right.

308
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: No, But but that's the point though, Like you decide

309
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: where you're gonna go. It's a Disney plus and everything

310
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: that goes through, right, the package with.

311
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: Hulu and or whatever.

312
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 3: Right, if you're an HBO Max because you need the Rooster,

313
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,520

00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: you know, you just start adding them up, right, But

319
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: but you pick and choose, like everything else you do

320
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: in your life. Right, Like we're in southern California. A

321
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: lot of folks think that Disneylands like the park down

322
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: the street. It's not okay for most folks. It's it's

323
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: a once in a lifetime experience for sure. For us, Like, ah,

324
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: you know, it was really expensive when I went last week,

325
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: and it was even more expensive this week. It's like,

326
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: all right, they don't go both weeks.

327
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know people with the past they just go

328
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 5: like every weekend, I guess.

329
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: Right, But if you have the past, then it's economical

330
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: and you make it work, so it becomes on a

331
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: per usage basis, and if you've got part working as

332
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: part of it, then you win, you win.

333
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 4: Just yeah, it's just become out of hand.

334
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just you know, when I when I saw that,

335
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: I'm like, it's just getting too much. But you know,

336
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 5: so we'll see if they go over the price a

337
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: little bit. I was just you know, it's just baseball

338
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: used to be the biggest bargain MIC and it's no

339
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: longer that bargain.

340
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,880

341
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: twenty bucks.

469
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 3: about fifteen minutes from now, We've got the play of

470
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: the day and oh it's a doozy. But first we

471
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: turn our attention a story that started coming down on Friday,

472
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: going back to Tiger Woods and his rollover in Florida

473
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: under duress, and certainly a lot of questions and speculation

474
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: coming around in terms of he pled not guilty to

475
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: charges of the misdemeanor dui with property damage and his

476
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 3: refusal to submit to a lawful test according to the

477
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 3: court documents demanding for a jury trial in Martin County

478
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 3: Circuit Court out in Stuart, Florida, so waving his arraignment

479
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: hearing was scheduled for April twenty third, So plenty of

480
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: other speculation out there, what how where all of the

481
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: those kind of processes, and certainly given pass indiscretions, Arnie,

482
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: this story took out a life own. I was making

483
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: my notes for Friday's show, and it's one of those

484
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: you know, you compartmentalize good, better, best things that are

485
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: just stay all right. Maybe if the games both stink

486
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 3: on Friday night and all of those things that maybe

487
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 3: would have gotten into it. But we had the fact

488
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: that President Trump was saying, I know whether Tiger's gonna

489
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: compete at the Masters. Okay, that's fun. And then he

490
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: played in his golf simulator league, and so it's like,

491
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: all right, cool golf is always It's like a lot

492
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 3: of sports, right. We look for the name brands, the

493
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 3: marquee names, and everything we can do to try to

494
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: promote and get in there and sell, sell, sell in

495
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 3: the name Tiger Woods, even if he's only gonna participate

496
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: for a couple of holes before walking to his car,

497
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: still moves the needle. He put out this statement a

498
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 3: little bit earlier today, quote, I know and understand the

499
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 3: seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I'm

500
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: stepping away for a period of time to see treatment

501
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 3: and focus on my health. This is necessary in order

502
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 3: for me to prioritize my well being and work towards

503
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: lasting recovery. I've committed to taking the time needed to

504
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both

505
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 3: personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support and

506
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: ask for privacy for my family, loved one, and myself

507
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: at this time. Sign Tiger. So the statement right until

508
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: you want to go get help, until you can look

509
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: in that mirror. And this goes for everybody across the globe,

510
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: and certainly athletes, celebrities. You know, the microscope is there

511
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 3: on the actions. And in this case, but for the

512
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: grace of God, you know, he clips a car, he

513
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 3: doesn't get injured, the other driver of the other car

514
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: doesn't get injured, and now we just get to the courts,

515
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: et cetera. But for golf, huge loss. Right anytime he

516
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: can be in the mix, it's there. But from a

517
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 3: person level, I'm at the point of, go get yourself help.

518
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 3: We'll see it when we see you right now. If

519
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 3: you if you get back in the public eye, great,

520
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: If not, you had a hell of a run, we'll

521
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 3: see it right right now.

522
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 5: Look, I'm a Tiger fan. I like Tiger, so hopefully

523
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 5: he gets his help. I do want to say this though, Mike,

524
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 5: this is gonna end one or two ways if this continues,

525
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 5: that he's going to kill somebody or he's going to

526
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 5: kill himself. Uh, he had a car, did you see

527
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 5: it on the side of it out inside like that?

528
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 5: How do you clip a car and put your car

529
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 5: like that on the side when you're just driving on

530
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 5: a normal road.

531
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 4: You have to be going at an extreme high rate

532
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 4: of speed.

533
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 5: And that's just you know, that's just uncalled for, absolutely

534
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: uncalled for.

535
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 4: I don't know what he was on.

536
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 5: We're gonna find out the full taxology report maybe if

537
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 5: we ever do, but you know, it's it's not going

538
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 5: to be pretty. I gotta tell you, it's sickening to

539
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 5: see him unravel like this. I don't know if he's

540
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 5: in all of pain because of his other injuries and

541
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 5: that's why he's taking or allegedly taking meds like this,

542
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 5: or he's just taking it for enjoyment. I don't know.

543
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 5: I think he's probably under a lot of pain, but

544
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 5: it's horrible to see him just unraveling in front of

545
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: our eyes like that. When he was so idolized and

546
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 5: loved by so many people out there in a sport

547
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 5: that really got no attention, Mike, and now look at

548
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: all he brought to the sport of golf, and now

549
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 5: people are just watching him unravel.

550
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 4: It's horrible to see.

551
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: And I hope he does get the help that he needs,

552
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 5: because it's, like I said, it's getting up one or

553
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 5: two ways, and neither one of them is not pretty.

554
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: No, And that's the horrid part of it. And it's

555
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 3: it's gone on and relapses and we don't know the

556
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: day to day. We only know when it hits one

557
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: of these pressure points in a very public way, right.

558
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: I'd certainly know. My father was a law enforcement officer

559
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: in Chicago, and there's a lot that once upon a

560
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: time when people didn't all have cameras on their phones

561
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 3: or think of themselves as quote unquote journalists, which is

562
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: a whole other thing that guys women in the public eye.

563
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: You could go out, have your time and and if

564
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: you've got a bit of a scrape. He got in

565
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: a little bit of trouble, was easy to keep it

566
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: out of the newspapers.

567
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 5: I'm sorry to rup, but I do want to say

568
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 5: this where people were saying, well, why doesn't he get

569
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 5: somebody to drive him?

570
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 4: And then the reports that he wants to keep his.

571
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 5: Privacy, well, why doesn't he buy a Tesla, a self

572
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 5: driving car.

573
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 3: Well that was one of the points we made as

574
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: this was going down. You know, it started on product. Look,

575
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 3: you still everybody wants some level of control. Talk to

576
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 3: to anybody who's had to tell a parent or a

577
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: grandparent that you can't drive anymore, that it's not safe,

578
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: whether it's a medical issue, whether mentally they can't focus anymore.

579
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: Their eyesight, whatever it is, have that talk and then

580
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: talk to me about any other circumstance. Right, for Tiger Woods,

581
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: he was the best in the game, and what was it.

582
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: He hit it a long ways. He dominated from pillar

583
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: to post for that long period of time. It became

584
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: a global icon. So suddenly someone saying, we're gonna take

585
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: this away from you know, and by the way, the

586
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: knows where you're going, Arnie.

587
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, but the one just when you're under the

588
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 4: influence is when you do that too.

589
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 5: Yes, the Tesla those but you know what, so do

590
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 5: a lot of cars have GPS programs in them nowadays.

591
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 5: When you're using how to get around and maps and

592
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 5: all that stuff. It's not like you're going to keep

593
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 5: a secret where you're going. Please, let's let's just be

594
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: some realistic about things. If people want to find out

595
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 5: where Tiger Woods is going, I'm sure they can. And

596
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 5: who's really following Tiger Woods nowadays, Let's be honest.

597
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: I'm still plenty plenty of folks. There's still a market

598
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: for If Tiger's sides that day, he's going to grace

599
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: them with the stroke of a sharpie, it's not worth

600
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: several hundred dollars. Aren't plenty of ways that are gonna

601
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: stalk him.

602
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 5: The only way somebody wants to know is maybe because

603
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 5: of who was going out with, and that you have

604
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: to keep on the national security. But then again, when

605
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 5: when that's happening, you have somebody pick him up. I look,

606
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 5: like I said earlier, bike, he had a souped up car.

607
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: Did you see this as.

608
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 5: You but with an engine of like I mean, my goodness,

609
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 5: it could it could tow cars and he put it

610
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 5: on its side. Are you how fast were you going

611
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: to put a car of that magnitude on its side

612
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 5: like that?

613
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: I couldn't do that if I tried to do it

614
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: on purpose.

615
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: Well, you're a scientist. I'm sure you could do the

616
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: math as to what it would take and what rates

617
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: of speed and in past et cetera. I mean, certainly

618
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: when he had that accident here in Los Angeles, right

619
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: in an area that I used to traverse with my

620
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: daughter for soccer practices, very dangerous stretch around, even on

640
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 5: Well, by the time we go on, the Arizona will

641
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 5: have finished and won the game by then.

642
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 7: Okay, so you're after Torres show.

643
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 4: No, I'm filling in for Torres.

644
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 7: Well, isn't the game still going to be going?

645
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 4: No, it starts two hours and ten minutes before then.

646
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 5: Probably yeah, probably probably would I pop on they get

647
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 5: a three porter to beat me enough.

648
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: For those who are unaware.

649
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 7: When one Arnie Spanier was co host every Saturday Night Torres,

650
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 7: inevitably some team from the Arizona Athletic Tournament would thse during.

651
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 4: The show exactly.

652
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 7: It was without fail. So I'm kind of thinking maybe

653
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 7: you take Saturday off and that you know it a

654
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 7: chance Arizona Michigan Saturday night because it's six pm Eastern,

661
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 7: Lakers hosting Cleveland, is about to begin. Lebron James was

662
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 7: questionable with foot injury management. He is available to play.

663
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 7: Milwaukee ended a four game losing streak, ripping Dallas one,

664

00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 7: for Charlotte and Detroit. Orlando beat Phoenix one fifteen to

668

Speaker 7: one eleven in a game that had to combine forty

669
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 7: five turnovers. Golden State's Steph Curry will miss another game

670
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 7: on Wednesday, and he's doubtful for Thursday with the bad knee.

671
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 7: But he did practice fully today. We'll see how the

672
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 7: knee responds. Maybe he'll play on Sunday. Trey Young of

673
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 7: Washington will be out again Wednesday. He's missed the last

00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 7: two weeks with a quad injury. Anthony Davis, now with Washington,

675
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 7: was cleared for light contact. He'll be out again Wednesday

676
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 7: with the finger injury. He's been out since early January.

677
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 7: Miami's Norman Powell is still out Wednesday due to illness.

678
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 7: The NBA regular season ends April the twelfth, which sounds

679
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 7: like it's a long ways away, but tomorrow is April.

680
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 7: The first people what is going on here in the NHL.

681
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 7: Among the ten games tonight, Carolina a five to two

682
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 7: winner at Columbus. Montreal won four to one at Tampa Bay.

683
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 7: You had another loss for US men's soccer, dropped a

684
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 7: two nothing decision to Portugal in an exhibition in Atlanta.

685
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 7: Can we just push off the World Cup? I don't

686
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 7: think we have a team together at this point.

687
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: They just work it instead of playing in it.

688
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 7: Oh, this has been the We talked about it on

689
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 7: this show the last two years. This is the fear

690
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 7: that the US is going to be co host. The

691
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 7: world's eyeballs will be here and a country this large

692
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 7: is not going to have an actual national team to field,

693
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 7: and we're going to be out after three games. The

694
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 7: way things are going. The only good thing to respond

695
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 7: to said fear. We have a cake of a group,

696
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 7: an easy first three games. One of those opponents, by

697
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 7: the way, was determined today Turkey A, which won one

698
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 7: nothing at Kosovo in a playoff. So Turkey A will

699
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 7: be facing the US at the La Ram Stadium. Yeah,

700
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 7: it's used to be Turkey. Now there's all at the end. Oh,

701
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 7: come on, it's like Czech Republic. It's Chechia.

702
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: Now stop it.

703
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 7: Chechia is going to the World Cup because it eliminated

704
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 7: Denmarkia in penalties. Today, Sweden scored late to beat Poland

705
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 7: three to two. Italy will not be in the World

Speaker 7: in a shootout. The Jacksonville Jaguars will play their home

708
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 7: games in Orlando in twenty twenty seven when their stadium's

00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 4: But you know what.

745
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: It's time for the tire rack play of the day

746
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: and a what was the worst play at first base

747
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: we've seen since nineteen eighty six?

748
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 4: Wow?

749
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 3: Since nineteen eighty six. It's only appropriate that a guy

750
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 3: named Buckner is the culprit powers Oh ended.

751
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 8: Out of the Williamson drows the first it's wide, it's

752
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 8: backed up by Fords as.

753
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 9: That should be a basit for ballots, and never did

754
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 9: make a move towards second, so he's safe.

755
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 3: Heck of an effort by Williams.

756
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 9: Should at second.

757
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: Bunter did not touch first base and that was put out.

758
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 8: So the call from CEBE Buckner is that Jake Bauers

759
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 8: missed first base and then was tagged out, not that

760
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 8: he made a move to second base right and was

761
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 8: tagged out.

762
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 6: That he flat out missed the bag.

763
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: And I think that is the hard, oldous call.

764
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 4: Where is CEB Butner looking?

765
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: He's not even looking at it. Why would he even

766
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 3: say that C. B.

767
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 4: Buckner was not even looking at the play.

768
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: He stepped right on top of first base.

769
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 9: I'm not sure what CB Buckner's looking at.

770
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 3: Dre That's ridiculous, man, there it is right there. Bowers

771
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: stomped on the base louder than any drum from the

772
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: musical on Broadway. Stomp. So it is time. That's Brewers

773
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 3: TV on the call. Everybody's laughing at you. They're all

774
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: gonna laugh at you. He brought to you by tier Rack.

775
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 3: Hold on forty years. Tyrack's been helping customers find the

776
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 3: right tires for how, what and where they drive shit

777
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: fast and free back by free road hazard protection with

778
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack dot com.

779
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 3: The way tire buying should be. It's time for sabbatical.

780
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 3: You're a week ind of the season. It's time to

781
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: stop the experiment. Arnie Spaniard. He needs to be relegated

782
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: to the minor leagues. Yeah, go sent back to re

783
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: educate himself. Clear his mind, clear the mechanism, whatever he

784
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 3: needs to do. Send him on a retreat. Right now.

785
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 3: The guy is in his own head. He's staring at

786
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: the catcher who's going to back things up as opposed

787
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 3: to looking on the base again. Bowers literally stomped it.

788
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 3: You can see all the dust flying out like a

789
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 3: giant booth, like it's straight out of a Hollywood cinema.

790
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: Come on man.

791
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 5: We laugh, But at first thought you think, well, maybe

792
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 5: you have to sit down and talk to him. Was

793
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 5: there something on his mind? Was there something going on

794
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 5: at home? Was he thinking about something else? Was he

795
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 5: not paying attention? Which is possible, I mean, unfortunately, he

796
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 5: just has a high profile job.

797
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: Once you stepped foot in your arena, Arnie, right, all

798
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: the noise has to go away.

799
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 4: But then we have to find out was there any

800
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 4: gambling implication?

801
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: Wait?

802
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 3: Well, whoa whoa whoa?

803
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 4: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa? What I mean obvious?

804
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to at least investigated something into that.

805
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 5: When a obvious call is is blown like that, I

806
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 5: don't think it has any gambling implications, but it's something

807
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: you have to look into.

808
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 4: I don't know why he missed something so easy.

809
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 5: The guy said he wasn't paying attention and he wasn't

810
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 5: looking at the base.

811
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 3: Well, no, it's clear when you when you watch the replay,

812
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: his eyes are down towards where the catcher is moving

813
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: into position to back up the throw, like he's not

814
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: looking at the play at first base at any moment. Also,

815
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: you know the presumption that he didn't hit the base.

816
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 3: It's it's just now in a terrible, terrible spot for him.

817
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 3: And when we look at it, uh, here just time

818
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: and again. Uh, he's been awful at the plate. They

819
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 3: have the little graphic if you look on X you

820
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: have to keep scrolling to get to the bottom of

821
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 3: the list. He's so far ahead of everybody else in

822
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 3: terms of miss calls.

823
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 5: And we've talked to we don't have Angel Hernandez to

824
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 5: kick around anymore.

825
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 3: No, but I mean, look the abs. Look, eventually it's

826
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 3: just the robot oh umpire. Those guys aren't gonna be

827
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 3: there at all. We've talked about that on the show.

828
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: Smith and I quite a bit, like it's just why bother,

829
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: why bother? Either that or you go to the jet

830
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: you have the voice in your head. No, no, no,

831
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: you still need him for plays at the plate whatever else.

832
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: But in terms of balls and strikes, just take it

833
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 3: out of like, particularly as egregious as some of these

834
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 3: have been. And look, it's a game of inches and

835
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: narrow misses. I was seeing some of the highlights where

836
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: guys are missing point three inches. No, but that's just it, right,

837
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 3: So it's the difficult thing. So if that's what we're

838
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 3: gonna be working to that, you know box for lack

839
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 3: of a better term, then you know we let's let's

840
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: just skip the preliminaries and embarrassing these guys at the plate.

841
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: Now in this case, I can't protect him. I can't

842
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 3: protect him. This is just agreed, just on a whole other.

843
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: Right.

844
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: You can miss a play at the plate. We can

845
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: talk about a bang bang play at second base on

846
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 3: a would be steel, all of those things. This is

847
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: just incompetence and he should have been sent to the

848
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 3: showers permanently. He's already spanned on by Carbon. It's Fox

849
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with me Mike Carmen. Coming

850
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 3: up next, we turn our attention to the national football
