00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: follow those channels. But here in our number two, what

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: does this latest playoff loss for the the American League side?

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: For Aaron Judges Yankees, they've been exterminated from the playoffs.

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,560

Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: And how do you react to Fox's Derek Jeter saying

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: that the Mariners thought this series was over, implying that

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: is why they lost Game four to the Tigers. They

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: had a big lead in the middle innings and it

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: all went away. Will parse the words of Derek Jeter.

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 2: We'll get to that right now here. It is our

Speaker 1: Of the America League Divisional Series.

53
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,080

Speaker 1: Back in all, did you watch? Perhaps not?

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: Well, we got your cover. We got you covered on

57
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: this because we have nothing else to do. We wished

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: an entire day watching sports. Vladimir Guerrero Junior and that

59
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: cheating astro George Springer each drove in a run, and

60
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: eight Toronto pitchers, eight Toronto pitchers shut down the mighty

61
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: New York Yankees lineup five to two the final on

62
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: Wednesday night. Then that sent the Blue Jays flying high

63
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: to the American League Championship Series. They've reached the final

64
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: four for the first time in nine years. Toronto smacked

65
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: out twelve hits in smothering the Yankees. The a L

66
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: East champion Toronto Blue Jays, well, now move on. They

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: take the divisional series three games to one. They will

68
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: host game number one in best of seven American League

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: Championship Series. That'll be on Sunday. We'll be watching football,

70
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: but they'll be playing baseball there against either the Tigers

71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: or the Seattle Mariners, and those teams are set to

72
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: decide their playoff series. That'll be on Friday night in

73
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: game number five, Game number five there in Seattle. More

74
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: on that in a minute. But the better story, as

75
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: you talk Yankees and Blue Jays, is in the losing

76
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: locker room. And it's always a special time when the

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Yankees lose in the playoffs. I know Supermarket Steve always

78
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: looks forward to it. He can't get enough of it.

79
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question. We'll focus in on

80
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: the big Ragou, the big ragu for the Yankees. So

81
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: what does this latest playoff loss doe for Aaron Judges

82
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: Yankees resume?

83
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: What does it do?

84
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: So?

85
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: You go to his Wikipedia page, you go to his

86
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: Baseball reference page.

87
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: What does this do? So?

88
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: I've got rewriting, academia and Nintendo, and we will combine

89
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: all of these things together and we are gonna make

90
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: your Babushka's favorite soggy nachos, soggy ballpark nachos.

91
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

92
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: See, the nachos are like it's like my theory on

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: fast food, and I'm never wrong about this. I'm never

94
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: My theory on fast food is every second that goes

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: by once you pick up your food like that. I

96
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: used to eat fast food all time. But when you

97
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: get the fast food, you've got to eat it right

98
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: away because every second it goes it degrades. The quality

99
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: of the meal goes down, similar to nachos. Like it's

100
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: like when I was a kid, My mom used to

101
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: make you give me cereal, like give most kids. You

102
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: get cereal when you're a kid, and I would get

103
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: it and it would always bother me because I had

104
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: to eat it so fast, because you don't want to

105
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: eat soggy cereal because the milk and the cereal.

106
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: So nachos are the same thing. But back to the point.

107
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: So what does this latest playoff loss do for Aaron

108
00:05:51,960 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: Judges Yankees Rosumee so number Aaron Judge is a magician?

109
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: Can we all agree on that? Does anyone disagree? Anybody

110
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: in the back of the room disagree? Aaron Judge is

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: a magician. He is untracted to the impossible. They and imaginable,

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: the most mind blowing trick around have a full career

113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: wearing pinstripes and get no bling, bling abra cadabra, hocus pocus.

114
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: It's wild.

115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: It is insane to the membrane that here we are

116
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: and Judges already passed his athletic prime and has nothing

117
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: in terms of championships, which is how you are judged

118
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: as a Yankee. Now here's Aaron Judge. But we'll go

119
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: into the locker room. Here's Aaron Judge talking about yet

120
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: another ending to a Yankee season that ended the wrong way.

121
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

122
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: No, I like our chances, and I like our chances

123
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: all year as a special group. And it just sucks

124
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: for the guys that might be a lot of time

125
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: wearing pinstripes. You're not get a chance to have a

126
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: long run with him, and in the championship. You know,

127
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: especially to the fans all year that have been you know,

128
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: showing up supporting us even in these postseason games, even

129
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: when we get down, you know they stayed right in

130
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: their season, you know, cheering us on. So it's just

131
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: disappointed we let all those guys down.

132
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: So it's pretty standard, pretty standard there from Aaron Judge,

133
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: the captain of the Yankees. It is ironic that John

134
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: Hayman and one of the great f ups ever by

135
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: a baseball insider when he reported that Arson Judge was

136
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: going to the Giants, but yet in the playoffs for

137
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: the Yankees, the teams Aaron Judge plays for, it's an

138
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: Arson job. At least I'm gonna be Benny Bright, people

139
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: said to negative malor, I'll be Benny Bright's out here,

140
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,119
Speaker 2: because it's not all bad for Aaron Judge.

141
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: At least.

142
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: According to Fox broadcaster Joe Davis, Aaron Judge finally had

143
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: his playoff moment.

144
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: He had his playoff moment.

145
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: It was a home run in the fourth inning of

146
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: Game three of the divisional series that went off the

147
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: foul poll.

148
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Or the fifth inning wherever it was against Toronto.

149
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: Yankee propaganda aside, all right, Yankee propaganda side. Judge is

150
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: the Matinee idol for this era of Yankee underachievement. So congratulations.

151
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: We are now talking about ten plus years, ten plus

152
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: years in the Bronx bomber's uniform, and he has been

153
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: given a team that has always one of the top

154
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: pay rolls in baseball, and yet in the playoffs bupkis.

155
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: In terms of championships, he is thirty three. He'll turn

156
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: thirty four in April. Your athletic prime ends about thirty two.

157
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: You can stretch you out a couple of years if

158
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: you're a superhero and all that, but that means we're

159
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: talking about the tail end, even if Judge has another

160
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: couple of good years in him. And for all of

161
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: the crooked numbers, for all of the gotdy numbers, and

162
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: the little trophies he's gotten and all that stuff, and

163
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: all you guys that love that exit velocity porn, you

164
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: get your you're all excited there because of.

165
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: The exit velocity.

166
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge is the he's reincarnated as he's like Donnie

167
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: Baseball reincarnated or Dave Winfield that era of Yankee Baseball,

168
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: great regular season guy. And that's a team that's judged

169
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: on winning championships and all that.

170
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: He's got no jewelry, well, I'm sure he's got a

171
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: nice jewelry. Probably got a roll Exra two because he's

172
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of money.

173
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: But he's done the impossible, being what many believe is

174
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: the top hitter in baseball since Barry Bonds most likely

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: better though, because we don't believe Aaron Judges on the

176
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: sauce who knows and the clear in the cream and

177
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: somehow still not winning. Like you think of every era

178
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: of baseball with the Yankees, Babe Ruf, Lou Garrett, Jolton,

179
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: Joe DiMaggio, they all did it. The only ear that

180
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: didn't do it was Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly, that was it.

181
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: But all the legends in Monument Park, for the most part,

182
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: carried the damn franchise to the top of the mountain.

183
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: Now Aaron Judge again, he's rewriting the Yankee history book

184
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: here for all the wrong reasons.

185
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: And the man's going to finish his career.

186
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: As the best you know what that means, as good

187
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: as all the rest, best player ever to wear the

188
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: uniform without a championship. Like he's better than Don matting

189
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: He's better than Dave Winfield, and yet they didn't.

190
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: Go down the Canyon of Heroes, and neither is Aaron Judge.

191
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: Tik tik tik tik tick. You can hear tik tik

192
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: tik tik tick.

193
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: The clock is ticket and the Yankees so called window

194
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 2: of opportunity, while it never really closes because the Yankees

195
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: spent a lot of money. In all reality, it's a

196
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: very small window, very small window. It really is the

197
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: longest drought in modern Yankee history is seventeen years from

198
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine to nineteen ninety five. And then they

199
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: had the Joe Tory run, and with him as the manager,

200
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 2: and Paul O'Neill and Jeter and then Jorje Posad and

201
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: Bernie Williams and all those guys, and now they're at

202
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: sixteen right now. The difference all right, And back then

203
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: they got they had maddingly in that run where they

204
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: didn't get it done. Sad wistful eyes of Donnie Baseball,

205
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: who I believe is a coach with the Blue Jays.

206
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: Now they've got Aaron Judge's blank postseason stare.

207
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: Now Judge put up great stats. Woo o o.

208
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: Batt at six hundred had a home run off the

209
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: foul pole, had his moment. According to Joe Davis, a

210
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: Fox had his moment. Six RBIs, four walks against Blue Jays.

211
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert, Vladimir Guerrero Junior was better. The other team's

212
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: top player was better than your team's best player.

213
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: That's it. And again Aaron Judge, despite what Joe.

214
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: Davis said, his signature moment is fumbling and bumbling and

215
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: stumbling a ball in center field in Game five of

216
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: the World Series where the Yankees had.

217
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: A dominating lead they were gonna get right back in

218
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: the World Series. Heft it up. That's his moment.

219
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: And this series in the Bronx, Vlattie doing backflips and

220
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: carrying Toronto while Aaron Judge can only watch and watched

221
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 2: the celebration a little dazed and confused.

222
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: And so the Yankee So he used to own October Man.

223
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: That was all Yankee baseball in October House of Horrors,

224
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. Now, I guess they rent by the hour.

225
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: You know, It's like it's sleazy hotel. They rent by

226
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: the hour, all right now.

227
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: Page two.

228
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: So the big Komodo dragon in the room in the

229
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: Bronx continues to be will there actually be legitimate changes?

230
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: Every year the Yankees losing the playoffs, and every year

231
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: the question gets asked, are they going to whack this guy?

232
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: Are they going to whack that guy? So you've got

233
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone who is always being discussed as a guy's

234
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: going to lose his job and all this well here

235
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: is Aaron Boone asked whether or not he's going to

236
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: come back. Do you think Aaron Boone is going to say, Ay,

237
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: I shouldn't come back. I've done a terrible job. B

238
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: I don't want to come back because this team's a

239
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: bunch of losers.

240
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: Or see, I expect to be back. Let's go to

241
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: the audio tape.

242
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: Aaron, I'm sorry on it, but it becomes a subject

243
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 4: every year. Do you have any reason to think you

244
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 4: won't be back managing the team next year?

245
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: No?

246
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 5: I'm under contract, so no, I don't expect any thing.

247
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: Can I ask a question? I would like to ask

248
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: you a question.

249
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: What journalism school do they tell you to apologize before

250
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: you ask the question?

251
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: Does that guy have no balls? Can we play that again?

252
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: I believe I just heard a supposed reporter apologize before

253
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: asking the question, like, what are we doing it?

254
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: What are your buddies with him? Going out drinking with

255
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: them after the news car?

256
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 6: Take a lesson?

257
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 4: Aaron, I'm sorry on it, but it becomes a subject

258
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: every year. Do you have any reason to think you

259
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 4: won't be back managing the team next Okay?

260
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: All right, I don't, this is Aaron. I'm sorry, I'm

261
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: so sorry.

262
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: Oh crap, all right, question, are Aaron Boone and Brian

263
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: Cashman the GM there in the danger zone? Stranger danger?

264
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: Are they in the danger zone in the Bronx? So

265
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: I am shaking my head? No, right, isn't the Bronx anymore?

266
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's not like it used to be. It

267
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: used to be you lose in October and it would

268
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: be like Halloween. There'd be heads on spikes outside Yankee Stadium.

269
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: Now it's modern deferred accountability.

270
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: It's you know again, we say it every year.

271
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: These aren't your daddy's pinstripers or your granddaddy's pinstripers. Brian

272
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: Cashman has been running the show since Bill Clinton was

273
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: in the White House with Monica Lewinsky having a good time.

274
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: Yankee Baseball has turned in to academia. Aaron Boone, I

275
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: am convinced. Aaron Boon's not going anywhere. Brian Cashman's not

276
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: going anywhere. Heck, they could both get promoted. They are

277
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: tenured professors. At this point, you can't whack a tenured guy.

278
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: You gotta jump to a lot of hoops to get

279
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: rid of a tenured professor. They've got lifetime appointments to

280
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: the Bronx Ivy League is what they've got. And the

281
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: Steinbrenner clan that owns the team, the kids like, they're

282
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: not They're not the boss, the sequels, not the equals.

283
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: We know. You look at all.

284
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: The legacy ownership groups in sports, they're just not as good.

285
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: They're just not as good.

286
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: Al Davis was a tyrant with the Raiders. It didn't

287
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: go well at the end of our life. But his

288
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: kid is a joke. Mark Davis with the Raiders an embarrassment.

289
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: Right, and you give me to go down.

290
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: Then all the groups where the next generation takes over,

291
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: it's it gets worse. It does not get better, It

292
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: gets worse. Genie Buss horrific owner with the Lakers, right,

293
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: old man, great owner. She was terrible and she's finally

294
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: sold the team, I guess eventually, but she wants to

295
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: hold on because she gets to go to.

296
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: Cocktail parties in Beverly Hills. But whatever. Fine.

297
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: So the point is that the old man, George Steinbrener

298
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: was lighting managers on fire every other homestead. He had

299
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: a revolving door with these guys like Billy Martin. Now

300
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: you're fired. Two years later, you're hired. You know that

301
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: he had I think it was eleven changes in like

302
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: a four year span or some ridiculous thing like that

303
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: back in the day. But now he fired Yogi Bear

304
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: left them at the airport in Chicago baseball legend. That

305
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: was the George Steinberner years. Now it's a daycare center, right.

306
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: The current group, it's just a cash cow. It's the

307
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: the illusion of contention is all you need. They're printing money,

308
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: you know, the seventeen dollars beers and all that. And

309
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: I've been told by boots on the ground that the

310
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: luxury area behind home plate is the top in baseball,

311
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: where they have the seafood table with crab legs and

312
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: high ends sushi, they have the Kobe beef over to

313
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: the sun and all that. It's just insane, right because

314
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: they appeal to the Wall Street the one percenters there

315
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: in New York and then don't appeal to the to

316
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: the bleacher creatures and all that stuff. And so as

317
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: long as they can convince the fans that just making

318
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: the playoffs there and that you know, losing in the

319
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: wild card of the divisional round is equal to a championship.

320
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: That's championship stands. The Yankees have become a theme park attraction.

321
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: They really have.

322
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: You know, as long as the turnstiles are spending and

323
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: you're riding the dumbbell ride and the networks selling their

324
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: ads and they got all the spots paid.

325
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: For, no one's storming the castle. It's not happening.

326
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone could sleep walk, right, could sleep walk through

327
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: a ninety win season, and Brian Cashman's gonna still be

328
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: ordering catered lunches for his army of nerds.

329
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: As Goose Gotchi's tremulously said back in the day.

330
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: Now, the real question is who is going to pay

331
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: the price for the Yankees issues, Because why I believe

332
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone and Cashman are safe, someone's going to lose

333
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: their job. Normally, what you do is you sacrifice one

334
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: of the coaches. Depends how upset you are. You might

335
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: get rid of the first base coach. If you're not

336
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: that upset, you get rid of the third base coach,

337
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: if you're a little more upset. If you're really really upset,

338
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: you get rid of the pitching coach and the hitting coach.

339
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: The one name that I will put there at the

340
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: very top is of my big board, not a list

341
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: Terry in England, my big board. The fall guy is

342
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: going to be Jazz Chisholm Garantee, Jazz Chisholm, free agent

343
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 2: butcher in the field, he was an All Star and

344
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: he was caught yawning while trailing in an elimination game,

345
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: and then mock the people that made fun of him

346
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: yawning during the game on the field, yawning while the

347
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: game was going on. He's the perfect scapegoat, bad clutch player,

348
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: not a big time player. Two eleven batting average in

349
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: the postseason, one eight two in the American League Divisional Series, underwhelming.

350
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: When it matters, underwhelming when it matters.

351
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: And you know, meanwhile, Brian Cashman is up in the

352
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: suite stress testing the next NERD approved depth chart and

353
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: they're already.

354
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: Going over who can we get on the weaver wire?

355
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 2: Now, the danger zone does not exist in the Bronx

356
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: at this point.

357
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: It's more of a comfort zone. It's more of a

358
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: comfort zone than that. And as long as they're selling

359
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: the illusion of the evil Empire.

360
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 2: No one is actually in any real danger. Yankee baseball

361
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 2: is where tenure meets mediocredy. There's an intersection of tenure

362
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: and mediocrety. All right, final point to motown we go.

363
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: And it looked early on like it was going to

364
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: be a bubbly bath for the boys from Seattle.

365
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: But then they had to play the rest of the game.

366
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: And somebody named Riley green is somebody named Hobby Bias

367
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: homeward four run, sixth inning, and the.

368
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: Tigers had they ried, I'll roared back to keep their season.

369
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: I'll stand alive, staying up nine to three, dominating win

370
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: over the Mariners on a sleepy Wednesday afternoon their Game

371
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: four of the American League Divisional Series.

372
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: So that means we are gonna get a game five.

373
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: Tigers force a Game five by winning at Comerica Park

374
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: for the first time in more than a month. They'd

375
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: lost eight straight home games. How embarrassing, How Lou Whitaker

376
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: and Alan Tramball right, what are you doing?

377
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: Che Lemon's rolling over in his grave? Might swong with you?

378
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: So the decisive game of the series be Friday in Seattle,

379
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: Cy young winner Tarret Scoobel on the mound for the

380
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: Motor City Kiddies against George Kirby. George Kirby uh More

381
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: on that in a minute. But the better story's in

382
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 2: the losing locker room as the Tridents blew a three

383
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: to nothing lead in the fifth inning. Question, how do

384
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: you react to Fox's Derek Jeters.

385
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: Saying the Mariners?

386
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: He said on the Fox postgame he said the Mariners

387
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 2: thought the series was over, implying that that somehow is

388
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: why they lost. All right, So listen, Derek Jeter, legendary

389
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: bad take, nonsense. Manager Dan Wilson did the thing you

390
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: can't do at the time he can't do it.

391
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: He trusted his.

392
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: Bullpen and they the pipe burst on the bullpen under

393
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: the immense pressure of October baseball. So it started out

394
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: with this lefty Gabe Spier who I looked at the

395
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: they had the stats on the broadcast. He had a

396
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: zero point seventy five ERA. He had allowed one run

397
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: in twelve innings since September sixth, So of course he

398
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: came in there and poured kerosene all over the game.

399
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: And then it was a funeral procession of relievers. People

400
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: I've never heard of, Eduard Bizardo and Carlos Vargas, guys

401
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: like that, Just like bullpen spam came in and they

402
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: would have been better off throwing Robbie the Mariner fan crying,

403
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: Craig JJ in Renton and no stradinas on the mountain.

404
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 2: They all sucked at the time. He cannot suck so Seattle.

405
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 2: What they needed was to call the people that used

406
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: to own the team from Nintendo and get Mario and Luigi.

407
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: Of course we know those are plumbers. Get them in

408
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: there to solve the bullpen some solid plumbers. So unsolicited advice,

409
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: what can the Mariners do to beat Tigers Ace Trek

410
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: Scuoble in Game five?

411
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: Because everyone's gokinda, oh, this game series over.

412
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: Tigers have their guy, They're gonna win Game five, go

413
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: on to play Toronto in the American League Championship Series.

414
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: So the mallord advice call it the Schooble Survival pack,

415
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: the schoolbal survival pack. You don't have to was see

416
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: the thing people don't understand when you face a number

417
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: one starting pitcher, Okay, you don't have.

418
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: To win the duel. You just have to endure it, right,

419
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: you just have to do it. And now what do

420
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean by that?

421
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: Like the Big Dumper cal Riley and friends, the mission

422
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: is not conquest. The mission is not to be eat

423
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 2: Trek Schooble, it's to contain him, meaning that you just

424
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: have to end up in a situation where where Schoop

425
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: is gonna go out. He'll slice your lineup up like

426
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: a sushi chef and just cut you up with a

427
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: nice big butcher's knife. The goal is to keep pace.

428
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: The goal is not to beat him. It's just co

429
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: author the chapter. Match it, blow for blow, inning for inning,

430
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: have Kirby pitch well, go to the bullpen, have some

431
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: guys come in there and get it done. And you

432
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: just got to write it out. And you got to

433
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: either have a zero zero score or a one nothing score,

434
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: or you have the lead when you go to the

435
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: tigers bullpen or where they go to the bullpen, and that's.

436
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: When the ink starts to smudge a little bit, and

437
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: so that's what you get.

438
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: You're not gonna beat Schooble more likely than not, but

439
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: if you have a shot, you just gotta you gotta

440
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: go blow for blow, blow for It's like a boxer,

441
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: you kind of sandbag a little bit early on, kind

442
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: of you know, let the fight come to you, that.

443
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: Kind of thing.

Speaker 2: ripped by the Yankee fan base more than anybody, it

454
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,720

Speaker 2: to the other way. I chose to go to the

509
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: dark side overnight talk radio. But I could have done

510
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 2: other things. I want to be like Gaga, h Well,

511
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,119

Speaker 2: Late Night Drug tester writes in he says, what a

519
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 2: day to be a Toronto fan. Both the Maple Leaves

520
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: and the Blue Jays one on the same day. First

521
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: time that's happened since nineteen ninety three.

522
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, how about that?

523
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: Super Marcus Steve writes in he says he's a Yankee fan.

524
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: He says they should should have fired jazz Chism after

525
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: he made those stupid comments about how they were the

526
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: best team in baseball.

527
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: While being only one game ahead in the wild card race.

528
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's part of the beauty of jazz Chism is

529
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: that he's a bit up toose. He's a bit up toose.

530
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeh Joe writes in She's a big Yankee fan.

531
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: He says, I.

532
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 2: Cannot decide what you're happier about Kershaw or the Yankees losing.

533
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: There will be no organizational change. Oh hell nah, I

534
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: know exactly You're right.

535
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Jill, and I do take joy

536
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: out of Kershaw because, again, as I mentioned, Jill, I

537
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: don't know if you were listening last hour. I am

538
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: still getting email from fanboys and was that not the

539
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 2: most perfect beginning? If you were listening last hour, go

540
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: back and hear the podcast if you missed it.

541
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: But it was so perfect.

542
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: Because I did this whole rant and I laid out

543
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: everything on like what the Kershaw fanboys would say, and

544
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: this guy Jay in La called up and repeated verbatim

545
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: all of the talking points to defend Kershaw.

546
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: All of them was great. I was, go to the

547
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: phones and.

00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,240

Speaker 1: All right, let's go. Let's go to Mike in Tucson.

559
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: What's going on? Mike? Welcome? How you doing?

560
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: If if I was any better, go go ahead.

561
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: You don't care, Go ahead.

562
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 5: So I called last week after I still listen to

563
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: the podcast, and then you said, Mikey and Kusan. I

564
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 5: was so well away because I'm five ft four. All

565
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 5: the friends called, they all call me Mikey. I've been

566
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 5: calling my whole life. But Ben, but today my daughter,

567
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 5: my daughter is on fall break. She's a weak. I

568
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 5: didn't talk about you.

569
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 6: She had one.

570
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 5: Question to ask you. She said, why did call him

571
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: Big Ben? Honey?

572
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So my dad said that you're like seven feet tall,

573
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: and if you're that tall, then why didn't she just

574
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: playing the NBA? And I think, well, that's great question,

575
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: that is a good question. Well what's your what's your

576
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: daughter's name? Again? There, Mikey, what's your jasmine?

577
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: Well, I could have gone to the NBA, but I

578
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: thought it's actually harder to do syndicated overnight talk radio.

579
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: There are fewer overnight syndicated talk radio jobs in playing

580
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: in the NBA.

581
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: Do you realize that.

582
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: There are more people playing in the NBA than doing

583
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: what I do for a living. So I actually defied

584
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: the odds by going in this. And it pays so well.

585
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: I mean, and Mikey, you let your daughter know. I mean,

586
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: this pays so well. It's and Lorena and Coop, you

587
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: guys working in radio, you both know this is NBA

588
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: like money that we've got tea, we get all the

589
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: creature comforts. We've got the biggest cockroaches in radio. We

590
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: have the greatest skunks that get into this. The air

591
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: conditioning system in our building, we have the classic computers

592

00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 5: you loved it. Why do they call him that Mallard?

597
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 5: I said, you don't. I don't have no idea.

598
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 6: He's big, he's so tall.

599
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,080

Speaker 5: You're crazy. I don't even know how that would be.

608
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,320

Speaker 1: an amazing honor. I don't know.

610
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: I feel a little awkward on that one, but try

635
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: I love raid. I grew up listening to radio too,

636
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: so it's the same thing I love. And I got

637
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: to meet the great Al McCoy before he checked on

638
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 2: and left this mortal coil, and I told him I

639
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: had a brief conversation with Al McCoy was a longtime

640
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: Sons broadcaster and when I was a little kid, I

641
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: before the Interweb, I had to scan the radio dial to.

642
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: Hear these far away radio stations.

643
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: And I get to Suns games sometimes at night living

644
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: in southern California, and I used to listen to Suns

645
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: games because I just loved radio, late night radio and

646
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: Al McCoy and I actually told HS because I have

647
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: family in Phoenix and we would go to Phoenix. And

648
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: I remember I told my mom when we went to

649
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: Phoenix to visit family, I want to go to Whataburger?

650
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: She said, why on God's Earth you want to go

651
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: to Waterburger? What the hell's wrong with you?

652
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: And I said, because this guy in the Suns, when

653
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: somebody would make a three point shot, he say, what

654
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: a shot?

655
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: What a burger?

656
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: And it was Al McCoy, who was the play by

657
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: play guy of the Suns. And so it was just

658
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: a kind of a funny thing.

659
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: Anyway, Thank you, Mike, You thank your daughter. Go to bed.

799
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 11: The Houston Astros are sticking with their leadership in GM

800
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 11: Dana Brown and manager Joe a Spotted, despite their late

801
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 11: season collapse causing them to miss the playoffs for the

802
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 11: first time in a decade. Both of their contracts only

803
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 11: run through twenty twenty six, though. Is this going to

804
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 11: be a lame duck season next year for the Astros?

805
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: Well, every season is a lame duck season until they

806
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: get rid of Altuve. I believe he's the last of

807
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 2: the cheaters still there.

808
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: That's it.

809
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 2: Tuve's falling apart, and it's just not a good team.

810
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: And it sounds like they're not going to spend a

811
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 2: lot of money to fatten up the roster.

812
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: So it's a hot mess. And yeah, I mean, these

813
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: guys are not forever. They're not long term Joe Spota

814
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: and Dana Brown. So I'm gonna go yes, the Arrows

815
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: point ds.

816
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 11: Next, the San Antonio Spurs have officially listed Victor wembin

817
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 11: Yama at seven foot five, two hundred and thirty five pounds.

818
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 11: That's two inches taller and twenty five pounds heavier than

819
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 11: when he entered the league. Ben, do you think we

820
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 11: were going to see an MVP type season from Wemby?

821
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, what he did because he went to China and

822
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 2: he was hanging out with the monks, right.

823
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't that what he did this offseason. That was

824
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: what his big preparation was.

825
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 2: He had like the thing of silence and all that.

826
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: But I think the Spurs only have to like make

827
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

828
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: That seems to be a problem there.

829
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 2: I mean, still, they should be better. He's great, he's

830
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: still fragile at two thirty five.

831
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 11: Next, former NBA player Richard Jefferson said that most of

832
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 11: his peers would have gladly accepted an under the table

833
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 11: deal like Kawhi if they were in a similar position

834
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 11: to him. He went on to say that no active

835
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 11: performer player would be upset with Kawhi. Ben, do you

836
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 11: think that's true?

837
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean from what I've heard. You know, this

838
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: has been going on around the NBA. He's not the

839
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: only He's been going on in the NFL, all the sports.

840
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: How do we do he passed? How does they win?

841
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 6: Hey go?

842
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: Unlike the Yankees. I won, unlike the Yankees.
