8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball on a glorious night. A little right

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 3: in there, but it didn't stop the party. And then

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: to finish the home run derby, which I get and

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: you know me, I'm a traditional kind of baseball guy,

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: but I thought that was cool and I'm alright with it.

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: There was a couple things we got to see the

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: challenge of pitches right, which was interesting the way that

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: that went, as long as they don't overdo it, like

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: there was a couple right.

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was the launching pad, if you will. And

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: I then want to see how people go to it.

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: But I think it should be and Martin brought this up,

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: and I think he's right. Probably be the manager, not

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: the pitcher like in the game, like thinking of because

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: why wouldn't it just be the catcher.

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 4: I mean, like to me like, why is.

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: The picture you don't want to kick the picture that

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: First of all, you you the catcher, you're literally cut

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: the while you were there. You just had it over

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: the play you framed it. And or the manager also

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: because the manager's thinking, okay, what do we do now?

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: What it's the challenge with the situation the game time.

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Are we wasting it? Yeah? Versus the player You're you're

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: just ticked off. No, that was a strike versus hold on,

32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: hold on player. We need we need, we need it

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: when it really matters.

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: And it was used early obviously the All Star Game,

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: and and Scooba wasn't gonna pitch long so he had

36
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: to kind of throw it in there and it went

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: from two strikes to a strikeouts instead of a ball.

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: But anyway, uh, the home run derby, just your thoughts

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: because the fans bought ate it up.

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: I know there's some people.

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: Like, oh dude, stop, it's an exhibition game. It's for

42
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: the fans. It's fun. Do I want that to end

43
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: a regular season game? No?

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I do not.

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: Do I want it to end a tie game?

46
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: And what turned out to being excited was six nothing

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: National League, the American League Storms back, and then the

48
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: National League wins it. Schwarber from the Phillies, you know,

49
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: with the three bombs in his that bat, but by

50
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: his chance.

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: Of listen, when you're on, you're on, when you're having

52
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a run or having a season. You ever had that

53
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: that time where man the job, all of a sudden

54
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: you got a bonus. The girl you like called you

55
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: and said that's going that date and just maybe had

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: some bad news turned good and just we're like, oh,

57
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: this is kind of my season. That's baseball over the

58
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: last year, year and a half, two years now, Rob,

59
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they were trying to figure things out,

60
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: how can we get more viewers, how can we speed

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: up the game? And Rob Manford credit have made a

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: few changes that traditionalist like maybe I wasn't on the

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: air with you at the time, but some people might

64
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: not have liked, hey, don't speed to the game the

65
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: shit right? And I did you think it was yesterday

66
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: or Monday? I can't remember the day, but I said,

67
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: he's in his He's in his sug Knight deth Ro

68
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: era where he was just the boss. I'm making plays,

69
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 1: making calls. They were complaining in the Philadelphia Phillies well,

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: why does you know, why is the wiz kid getting

71
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: the men's getting to be in there? Why is he pitching? Why?

72
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: And he say, I asked y'all, wuld y'all pitch it?

73
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Guarantee me one inning? And your pitcher said no, I

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: just pitched Sunday one said. The other one says, no,

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I'd rather cool, he said, Do I want to do

76
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: this every time?

77
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: No?

78
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: But he pitches on hundred three hundred four miles. Why

79
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: would this can be something cool for the fans?

80
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: I talked to him, Yeah, uh, pregame just a night.

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: He's a kid.

82
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: He's I mean literally, and I was like, is this

83
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: a whirlwind or you know what? He was just like,

84
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: he says, I can't even believe I'm sitting here in

85
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: a locker room in the clubhouse with all these guys

86
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: I grew up watching, you know what I mean, and

87
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 3: all this stuff he said.

88
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: He said, I pinched myself every day.

89
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: And he's been on a roll rockets, so you get this.

90
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: The way he's been handling, like I said, the shift

91
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: and the pitch count and speeding the game up. In

92
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: the game is going well. He lucked into a Dodgers

93
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Yankees which ended up being spectacular. Ready to the Roof,

94
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: carries over this season, radies through the roof. You have

95
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: a good offseason where want so it was gonna go

96
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: like they're in a great space right now, been a

97
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: good couple of years. Leads to the All Star Game

98
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: and it starts off its competitive. I thought we'll get

99
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: into a little bit later. I thought they started the

100
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: game out. We were on the air and you represented

101
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: where you were, you in Atlanta. You had HBCU, you

102
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: had the Clark marching Man, you had Luda Chris, Jermaine Duprix.

103
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: It looked good, it felt good. It felt like it

104
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: felt the series right. It just they've been on to

105
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: be like that, and you look for people who you know,

106
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: represent the city or whatever, and that's how you connect.

107
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: And I think it was great. There was It was

108
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: star studded. There were a lot of Atlanta people. Yeah,

109
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's there, proud.

110
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: Of their hometown and all that and the All Star Game.

111
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: And I got stopped by a number of people, you know,

112
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: walking around the ballpark about the odd couple and it.

113
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: Was really nice shout out to them.

114
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

115
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: So, and then the actual game, right, you you get

116
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: the competitives. You got the two young pitchers who looked

117
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: like they're gonna be the guy for the next decade. Uh,

118
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: the schemes and schoolbl and so obviously Scooble would have

119
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: preferred to do a little bit better. But the point

120
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: is you got the two stars off there out there right,

121
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: you got cart o'tany kind of sets it off for them.

122
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: They get rolling and it's just going and it's looking good.

123
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: It's fun. Yes, there was a big deficit, but they

124
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: don't just see this is the difference. They didn't just

125
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: mail it in. Well, I guess that's just now to night.

126
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: Where y'all going. I heard Rob gonna be a magic city.

127
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: What we're doing. They kept fighting Rob, they came back.

128
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: If you were watching the game, there were plays made,

129
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: diving catches and stuff like that, like, guys, don't like

130
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: where I saw what.

131
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: I can't remember was it. Uh he's from the Cubs.

132
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

133
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: And he dove for a ball out left field, And

134
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: I said to myself, he easily could have pulled up

135
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 3: and let that be a double line. It's a double

136
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not even going to chance like messing

137
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 3: my knee up or doing something you know what I mean.

138
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: Even some of the at bats, you know, Junior had

139
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: a couple where it was like really like, there's a

140
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: couple especially the one that went down the right now

141
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: the right line. It's just like, oh, like he could

142
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: have easily sayd I tried and swung whatever, but like, no,

143
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: I need this. We're in this game. We've got a

144
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: chance to come back, tie it up. We got a

145
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: chance to come back whin this thing. So that went

146
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: great as far as the seventh inning, the American League's

147
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: four runs and eventually they were tied. And then we

148
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: have the home run derby off the swing off and

149
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: that ended up being really fun. So it couldn't have

150
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: gone any better for them. I thought it was. I

151
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: thought it was really good and from top to bottom,

152
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, he made a great catcher left.

153
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: And I just think baseball's having a great couple of

154
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: seasons right now with just the moves that they've made.

155
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, they fall into the Dodgers Yankees first

156
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 1: time since eighty one. That ends up being great.

157
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: But I wonder where people are, Like when you watched

158
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: it last night, you know a lot of people watched

159
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: did you like it? Like is this something. Could you

160
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: even see this for like during the regular season, because

161
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: the one thing I do not like as you put

162
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: the run on second base right away into tenth thing.

163
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: I get it, they don't want to play sixteen innings. Okay,

164
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: I get that, but why can't we have one extra inning,

165
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 3: one extra frame to tenth inning and then you do

166
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: that to give it.

167
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: A chance to win the game? You know what I mean?

168
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: Because those games, to me, can wind up where you

169
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: win and they're not exciting men on second you butt

170
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: them the third and he scores on the fly ball. Okay,

171
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: you win a game, but that's not you didn't even

172
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: get a hit in the You know what it reminds

173
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: me of I think you might feel me.

174
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of sudden death in the NFL,

175
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: where it's like, all right, I got to just kick

176
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: a field goal, take it off.

177
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: So the only thing I disagree on sudden death is

178
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: you can score defensively that you can in baseball, you

179
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, like I've covered the lines

180
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: for twenty years. You know I've seen pick sixes go.

181
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: The other way. You know what I mean?

182
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what Scott Mitchell or but you know

183
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like you could win a game defensively

184
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: as well.

185
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Reason you get a kick off, you return it to

186
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: the forty, we throw a ten yard then a fifteen

187
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: yard pass, kick a field going r out of here,

188
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, or if you want to even go with

189
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: the college how they used to do it.

190
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: Where you know, college twenty five yards twenty five yard line.

191
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: So it's like, oh okay, instead of going the whole

192
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred or seventy five if you will.

193
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: But it was entertaining, it was funny. It was a

194
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: great way to say, here's a chance. It was it

195
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: was really the home run derby and the All Star

196
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: Game and having a baby. And to me, you got

197
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: a chance. A few guys, few pitches. Each of you

198
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: get a few pitches. Let's see what happens. We're not

199
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: burning you out. So you go back to your team

200
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: messed up because that's happened. Dudes, something do home run

201
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: derbies and they're off for a few more weeks. They

202
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: just can't get the swing back together. Only a few batters,

203
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: few pitches, quick fun, get it over with and we

204
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: all move on. But the game itself was competitive. That

205
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: was fun way to end.

206
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: It because it wasn't It was six nothing, and you

207
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: could have said, like you said, a vacation, take the first.

208
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 4: Swing and get out of there, like you could do that.

209
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: So they're working to count, you know what I mean,

210
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: trying to get on bas like all that kind of stuff,

211
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: making plays. It was very, very entertaining when you put

212
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: all together, all.

213
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: Right, I give them credit. They gotta give them credit.

214
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: We complained. Listen, we'll sit here and that's coming February

215
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: and maybe complain about the NBA. Maybe they get it right,

216
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: maybe they don't. But my point is we'll complain when

217
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: it's when it's done poorly and just doesn't seem like

218
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: people cared. Gotta give them credit. MLB were there, they care,

219
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: the players were there. It seemed fun, and they seem

220
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: to get it right all right.

221
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven

222
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.

223
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 4: What'd you think.

224
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 3: Of the derby at the end and is that something

225
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: that you would be interested in? Would you like to

226
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: see that for the regular season instead of putting the

227
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: guy on second base? Just your thoughts. A lot of

228
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: people thought it was exciting. There were some people who

229
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: didn't like it, but you're not everybody that exactly. But

230
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: Kelvin and I are in agreement. I thought that was fun.

231
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: It was a great way. And I was the one.

232
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 3: I was in Milwaukee when they had the tie, and

233
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: that was bad. That was a bad ending to an

234
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: All Star game. Bud Selig was there in his home,

235
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: you know, park and a whole nine yards.

236
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: It just it didn't feel good with then the overreaction afterward.

237
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: Now with cal series home advances to overreaction. Okay, let's

268
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 7: And the state of Georgia mar a country in the world,

269
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,000

270
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 7: on the race uh factor when it came to him

271
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,040

00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: Your thoughts you were there? Now people are saying, you know,

274
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: kind of was a lot of think pieces on it afterwards.

275
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: Yeah you did, you You didn't you were upset with.

276
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: It at the time when I listened to it. No,

277
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: I really didn't, you know. I gotta admit, no one

278
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: talked about it like in the building, like at least

279
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: the people, and I think when you have time to

280
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: sit back and look at it, you want to dissect it.

281
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: I just thought it was really nice because obviously Hank

282
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: Aaron died, and remember they lost the All Star Game

283
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 3: in Atlanta.

284
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, twenty one.

285
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

286
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: I mean I'm down there telling the players about it

287
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: or whatever, and most didn't think it was you know,

288
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: like oh my god, what did they do to the

289
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: sound or whatever? But but people have a right to

290
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: listen to the original and feel like would have been

291
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: better to have the whole thing. I wouldn't be mad

292
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: at anybody if they felt that way. But I did

293
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 3: not feel I gotta admit I didn't feel like, oh

294
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: my god, what did they just do or you know,

295
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: how could they do that? Like like, I did not

296
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 3: feel that way.

297
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I think it was so well done that in real

298
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: time you couldn't have thought of it right because you're like, oh, look,

299
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: and then lights and then oh they got the you know,

300
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: seventh players, and then the ball. You know the thing,

301
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: the flying light thing is the ball and it was

302
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: so well done. All you're thinking of is Prava. This

303
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: was incredible. That's how you pay a tribute, that's how

304
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: you pay homage. That then people who maybe weren't there

305
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: can think about the whole You know what it is

306
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: when you're at a game you didn't see the commercial

307
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: or you didn't see that player game.

308
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 4: And I'm recording. I can show you on my phone.

309
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: I'm like recording it, and I swear I didn't go,

310
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: wait a minute, where's this?

311
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: Really did think you're just too in the moment in

00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: real time everybody where they were there at home because

313
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: it was just so well done and it was so thoughtful.

314
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: But then when you get the pause and you know,

315
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: this is what happens when that's what seven point two

316
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: million people watching.

317
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: And this is what people do. Though you know they.

318
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: Or they should have done this, Oh Beyonce, that you

319
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: missed the hidden meanings exactly.

320
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar does the Super Bowl perform, but that flag

321
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: meant this and the colors of the dancers really and

322
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I thought it was just a good

323
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: dance perform and they break it down. So here's what

324
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: I thought now that they brought it up. You go, oh, shoot,

325
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: he didn't mention that was it intentionally taken out? Yes,

326
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: and it says that clearly they didn't use it. Do

327
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: I think there was a sinister plot behind it? No,

328
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: Here's why. I think I would have felt some type

329
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: of way, and I would have made me been more

330
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: in line with the folks who brought it up had

331
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: they not shown a real big representation of African Americans

332
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. If you've ever been Atlanta, you've been a

333
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: million times. I've been a million times. It is a

334
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: very strongly predominantly black environment. The mayors are black, The

335
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: vibrant HBCUs not all definitely not all black. Well, look

336
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: at what they had with the marching, So that's where

337
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm going. They embraced everything, and then they had the HBC,

338
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: they had Clark Atlanta out there, they had the game.

339
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: On Friday, which was what they could have easily said,

340
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: you know, we're going to pass on that.

341
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: We got whitewash.

342
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: And so that's why to me, I was telling Rob

343
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: g this if I felt as if it was the

344
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: cornfields of ile even at Atlanta, or it was this

345
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: and it was that, and it was Joe Demangi one

346
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: and just kind of like you're in Atlanta.

347
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: Baseball embraced Atlanta's blackness.

348
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: They embraced Atlanta's blackness, the culture, the HBCU, Germaine de

349
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: priest kind of the honorary mayor there to.

350
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: And maybe that's why I didn't feel that way at

351
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: the time, because every time I turned around and they

352
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: put a celebrity on the screen, a big screen and

353
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: with somebody black.

354
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: And so I just felt like, if I'm doing all

355
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: of that, why am I fearful of a handful of

356
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: lines that were barely here from vincecent Matt don't get

357
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: it twisted. Those lines meant a lot. And when he

358
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: said that said time, that's incredible because shout to late

359
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: great Vince Scully for that to do that in real

360
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: time and in an era where I'm sure people could

361
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: have been upset with it.

362
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: But you gotta remember, oh I'm sure that, I mean because.

363
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: There you mentioned that right now, it wasn't the time

364
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: of the places and blah blah blah, the.

365
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: Braves announcer Milo. I can't remember his last name. I

366
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: don't know why I'm forgetting his name, but he talked

367
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: to he's the one who who has the call as well,

368
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: and he doesn't mention that, you know what I mean.

369
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: He's an Atlanta broadcaster. Vin Scully's doing the national broadcast. No,

370
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: he's doing the Dodgers broadcast. And that was Vin Scully

371
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: because you know they home run came against the Dodgers

372
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: and Al Downing. Yep, so you have to Milo Hamilton,

373
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: Model Hamilton. Who oh, I should have remembered this last No.

374
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: I so you're human, dude. So that was my biggest thing.

375
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: What I really thought about it, I was like, dang,

376
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: that really would have brought context here. We all were

377
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. You got black players, and by black I

378
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: mean also for Afro Latino, and you got all this. Uh.

379
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: But I was like, more I thought about it, I

380
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: was like, it was fully represented. Fully you saw the

381
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: kind of the Atlanta experience. And so to me, they

382
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: were intentional with that. I kind of cut them some

383
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: slack with that. Now, had they added those two three

384
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: extra senses, they would have just been the most perfect one.

385
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: They batted out hit it out the park every single

386
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: part of the All Star weekend. If they got that

387
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: this so I got to give him a ninety seven point.

388
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: Eight and we always know that baseball and it's embracing

389
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 3: of Hank Aaron and you know what I mean, like

390
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: they never short change him, like like you know.

391
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: So I think putting on this performance, putting on the

392
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: time that I think they just cut that out. Again,

393
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: it was intentional to cut out clearly, you know, if

394
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: you did make a decision. But I don't think it

395
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: had malice behind it, right light, Like oh no, I

396
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: think it was like, dude, we fully have embraced it,

397
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: you know.

398
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: Because you could have easily like like I said, dude,

399
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: if you looked up on the big screen, you think

400
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 3: Atlanta was all black?

401
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 4: I'm serious.

402
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 3: And they had a couple of shots of some like

403
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: country music people and some actors who are from you know,

404
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: Atlanta or but but minuscule compared to the big celebrities.

405
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 4: You saw the big commercial on Fox, it's Ludacris and who's.

406
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: The other radio?

407
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: Right, like like that's just that. That was the star

408
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: commercial for the All Star Game in Atlanta.

409
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: And that and that's why I'm giving them a pass,

410
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: and I feel as if, all right they represented in

411
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: that way would have been icing on the cake and

412
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: made it perfect. Absolutely, And you know so maybe they

413
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: kind of missed with that, but I don't think it

414
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: was ill intention or malice malicious intention, I'd say with

415
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: that as well.

Speaker 1: said they're doing.

423
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: The P T. Barnum that a sucker's born every minute

424
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 3: and they've seen that Jake Paul is making money and

425
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: Rob g, what are they pitching now for the SAPs

426
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: and the belly and the SAP suck?

427
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 5: I feel like you're giving away the task. So as

428
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 5: you guys know, this Friday, Manny Pacchia, at age forty six,

429
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 5: will be coming out of retirement for a title match,

430
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 5: which is crazy.

431
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 8: That's crazy, six years in a title match, A build different.

432
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 5: I guess, uh, forty six years old, come out this

433
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 5: weekn you gonna fight Madio Bodios WBC walter.

434
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 8: Weight championship on the line.

435
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: We're spols to actually be in Vegas for that fight,

436
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: but for a myriad of reasons, none of us can

437
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 5: make it, and as a result, shown us Knox, Formerrock

438
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 5: a couple of side piece will be going in our stead.

439
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 8: Shout out to Jonas, Oh really he is going.

440
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 5: But with this fight coming up on Saturday, there are

441
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 5: some heavy implication. Not only could we see a forty

442
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 5: six year old champion, but according to longtime boxing insider

443
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: Lance Pugmeyer, Cordner reports, acording to a source closed of

444
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 5: the situation, if Manny wins his fight this Saturday and.

445
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 8: Gets the new or becomes the new WBC.

446
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 5: Walterweight champion, there are quote conversations already happening that if

447
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: Manny wins a rematch between Pacquiao and Floyd Money Mayweather

448
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 5: would be on the table that they believe could be

449
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 5: worth billions of dollars.

450
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 8: I didn't agree with that part, but it is on

451
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 8: the table, Floyd Manny.

452
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 4: Stop, can we stop?

453
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Thank you? First of all, you took it.

454
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've accidentally meant millions, not billions, because ain't

455
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: no way all right.

456
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: Here's what billions from the old God wants.

457
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: No, here's what we're dealing with right now. Rob Floyd

458
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: Mayweather perfected the last you know, seven eight ten years

459
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: of his career. He fought who he wanted to fight

460
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: when he wanted to fight. I'll fight him early, I'll

461
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: fight him late. I fought Manny Pacao too late. I

462
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: fought Canelo too early. Meeting he didn't fight him when

463
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: he was became a better box He called him when

464
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: he's twenty, and he became very good. He was his

465
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: own promoter as the money team, and so he got

466
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: very rich, very famous, and very successful in that regard.

467
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: But in doing so he ruined by and I doubt

468
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: he ruined it and became very gimmicky. And as we know,

469
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: in most things, people beat's a copycat league. So everyone

470
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: started to say, ooh, I want to do it how

471
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: Floyd did it. I want to do it like that,

472
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: And Canelo's been doing that toWin extent fighting get the big,

473
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: huge money with his own you know, do it how

474
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: you want to do it, and to control your descy,

475
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: not fight real fighters, not fight everybody get we don't

476
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: we don't ever get the fights we want for the

477
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: most part. Thankfully we're getting this one with Canelo and

478
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: Bud coming up in September. But my point is then

479
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: when Floyd retired, because remember you always want to be

480
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: fifty to zero, he fights Connor McGregor, who was an

481
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: mm MIAA fighter, and in this gimmicky fight. Then he

482
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: fights somebody in Japan, and he started to do the

483
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: whole Oh, I'll go over here and fight somebody, make

484
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: one hundred two hundred million dollars whatever it'll be for

485
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: this gimmicky fight. It's not a real fight, and I'll

486
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: make a bunch of money. As you mentioned, suckers will

487
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: buy it and I'll get paid, and I'll not get hurt,

488
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: not get injured, and move on to the next one.

489
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: And I think he started this, and then Jake all

490
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: the logan Paul said we'll finish this. And now they're

491
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: doing this routinely, getting next boxers, getting MMA fighters, getting

492
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: basketball players and Nate Robinson getting whomever. And they've perfected

493
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: this marketing scheme and getting all their YouTube followers and

494
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: TikTok followers to watching the buy in and making a

495
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: boatload of money and embarrassing some legends in some cases

496
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: like Mike Tyson along in the process, and I think

497
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: this is what we're watching. When Floyd started ending, he

498
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: ruined boxing in the end, started the gimmicky stuff. They

499
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: took the mantle like a race a Paton and said thanks,

500
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: we'll take it from here. And now here we are

501
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: with this just kind of what boxing has become, where

502
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna see two old dudes who well passed their prime.

503
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Manny Pacyal hasn't even fought in four years and he

504
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: lost the last time he fought. Mind you, he has

505
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: to win his fight to this even really be considered

506
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: a thing. And now it's just become just a joke

507
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: of a sport. And it's really disappointing because boxing used

508
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: to be great. Floyd is forty eight, ain't fought nobody

509
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: real and I don't know how long. And again Manny's

510
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: forty six. Yet people probably gonna tune in, people probably

511
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: gonna watch, they'll take a boatload of money, and they'll

512
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: probably running back in twenty twenty eight.

513
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: No, and you know what, you deserve to get all

514
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: the bad boxing and the joke of a performance because

515
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: you keep doing the same thing. The only reason they're

516
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: getting away with it is because people have nothing better

517
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: to do in their lives. I tried to warn everybody

518
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 3: about the Mic Tyson, did I not? Yeah, I told

519
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: you this is not a Oh look at the look

520
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: at him boxing on on, TikTok and Instagram. Man, he

521
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: looked great. You see what he's combination? Man, he looks great.

522
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: People bet money. You remember that more people bet money

523
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 3: on a almost sixty year old Mic Titan than a

524
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: thirty year old. Like, seriously, that's when you've been bamboozled.

525
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 3: You're not only like I'm an iron MIC fan, I'm

526
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: now betting my money on a sixty year old Are

527
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 3: you kidding me?

528
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Dude?

529
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 8: Dude?

530
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 4: Guys, hello, is this on this on? Don't do this?

531
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 3: You have to say no, you need help, go to boxing.

532
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: Wehab stop it. You can't keep doing this. It's you're

533
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: the blame, not Jake Paul.

534
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 4: You're the blame. You're the enabler.

535
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 3: You keep pouring your hard earned money into garbage and Detroit.

536
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna drop this for you.

537
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: You might as well take the money, go up to

538
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: the top of the pinopscot building and throws it off.

539
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: It's the same exact thing as paying money to see

540
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 3: Jake Paul And now these other boxes are you kidding?

541
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: They're like, this guy's cashing it. He's not even a

542
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: real boxer. He's a you tuber. He's a you tuber. Yes,

543
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 3: and they're like, I'm a real boxer. I want to

544
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 3: make that kind of money. Let me put on these

545
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: old fights, old timer's day, forty six years old, sixty

546
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 3: years old.

547
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: All they care is if the check's gonna clear.

548
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: Come on, guys, stop it, Stop paying attention to him,

549
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: stop liking this stuff, stop looking at it, and definitely

550
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: do not buy it. When your friend calls you and says, hey,

551
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: you want to come over to watch the fight, I'm

552
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: getting it. No I'm not coming. No I'm going bowling. No,

553
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to a pottery barn class. No, seriously, you

554
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 3: you gotta stop it. You're to blame all the boxing

555
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 3: fans who are enablers to Jake Paul.

556
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 4: He's laughing at you going to the bank.

557
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: And really, here's the worst part about it too. I

558
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: think Floyd and Mannie will come to an agreement that

559
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: we ain't really really gonna fight like this is an

560
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: old timers who have some bad blood, who are like

561
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: literally about to lay it all bloods, wait, tears, somebody

562
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: might not walk off the the you know, the the ring.

563
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: It's a gimmick, that's what I'm saying. This is a gimmick.

564
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: If this were like some bad blood they truly hated.

565
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: This is the you know, this is the third or

566
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: fourth fight, and they're really going at it, You'll be like,

567
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: all right, man, these dudes legitimately hate each other. This

568
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: is not that they don't hate each other, having boxing

569
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: years and they're gonna go in there and sixty They're

570
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: not gonna hurt each other. They'll throw a couple of

571
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: nice ones and they'll both laugh their way to the bank.

572
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: I made a buck twenty, you made eighty. Look at

573
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: us make a bunch of money. We know Many's money

574
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: has been tight. Floyd always loves a good payday, and

575
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: that's exactly what this is gonna be. They're gonna make

576
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: a bunch of money. And my thing is, Rob, I

577
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: heard your soliloquy. I don't think people if they price

578
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: it right, I don't think I think people are going

579
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: to They're gonna say, why not, shame on, it's only

580
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: forty nine, you know, it's only it's already on Netflix,

581
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: or it's.

582
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: Shame already on Hulu, are already paid for who you

583
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: gotta stop watching it in order for it to go away.

584
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: And I get that, have nothing else to go to

585
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 3: or nothing to do. I'm already home, My bodies are

586
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: coming over. They're gonna have beers or they got whatever.

587
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 3: It's just a night of hanging out with friends.

588
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: I get it. I get that. That's how they get you,

589
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: and that is why this is gonna work. Rob g said,

590
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: whoever that was Robbers you were talking about, took it

591
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: too far with the billions, with the be that was

592
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: that was carried away. But what they're gonna make a

593
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: bunch of money because man, he's gonna have this fight.

594
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: And then man, he looks halfway competent, decent.

595
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 8: Hell yeah, I'm watching it.

596
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: He's one of the reasons why.

597
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: Because I love old people doing stuff.

598
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I love old people doing stuff that actually is true.

599
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 8: So that's part of it.

600
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 5: And number two, I mean, I've sat through the Jake

601
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: Paul fiascos and you still keep going back from here.

602
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 5: I don't pay for it because I know a guy

603
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 5: who knows a guy who knows the guy.

604
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 8: But I watch it.

605
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: Where's he lives so I can alert your authorities.

606
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll ride him out because he lives.

607
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 5: I'm wearing Culver City, California. Uh, he's currently living in

608
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 5: a two bedroom apartment, but he's downsizing.

609
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: If he say one more thing, that sounded more and

610
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: more like you. Right, that's sounded more and more like you.

611
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: His car is actually parked out front next to mine,

612
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: the badley. Yeah, exactly.

613
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: No.

614
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 5: But like, unless boxing continues down this path, which thankfully

615
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 5: they have the last six months or so where they've

616
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 5: kind of made a concerted effort to give you the

617
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: fights that you want, that that turkey from from overseas

618
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 5: is really investigate big money into getting these guys to fight. Yeah,

619
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: as long as that keeps happening, then we won't need it.

620
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 5: The problem is that history says boxing's gonna boxing at

621
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 5: some point, these promoters are gonna get too greedy and

622
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 5: they're gonna do what they've always done, and they're I'm

623
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 5: not gonna let my guy got into the ring with

624
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 5: this guy because and it's gonna get to that point

625
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 5: where people are uninterested and just the nostalgia factor of

626
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 5: man Floyd Manny again and there's people to this day

627
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 5: believe that Manny was hurt and he would have want

628
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 5: that fight if his shoulder wasn't jacked up, and they'll

629
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 5: shell out seven dollars to watch that far.

630
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: The key there's the key part. How many looks this Saturday.

631
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: If he looks overweight, look you know, washed, and just

632
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: if he looks halfway decent, handspeed, alright, in decent shape.

633
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Rob, but I think people are gonna go,

634
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: especially because he's only forty six. Mike Tys was almost sixty,

635
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: and people are all in if Manny, who's only forty six,

636
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: looks like he can still throw a little bit. My

637
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: biggest thing is not Manny, because I know Manny. I

638
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: think Manny Manny needs some money. I think my thing

639
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: is Floyd. If this were Manny and who else give

640
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: me another good example, Rob Gee, I don't know somebody

641
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: both who needs some money. You know what I mean,

642
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: Roy Jones or something. Well, dang, then you went to Roy.

643
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: You might have went too far. My point is I

644
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: think Floyd is the problem because I think Floyd ain't

645
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: trying to get hurt, because he hardly ever got hurt

646
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: in real fights. And I think Floyd ain't trying to

647
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, he gonna put his real record on the line.

648
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: We know how important to fifty to fifty and oh

649
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: perfect record was. And I think Floyd is now in

650
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: the in the entertainment industry, so I just think he's

651
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: the one. I think that's the problem for me is

652
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: is Floyd, even in real boxing, was strategic and you

653
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and not fixing things, but planning

654
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: things perfectly in his favor. So I just don't see

655
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: why this would be competitive where he actually could have

656
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: a chance to get knocked out. Floyd ain't doing that.

657
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: At this point, he's worth half a billions
