00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: Goldschlager is like Christmas but no absence. I think that's

115
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: dangerous like that, like I think that killed people in

116
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: France in the seventeenth It depends what what kind? Yeah,

117
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,600

118
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: all right, all right, I can understand that. First. If

119
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: it's three out, then sorry about that. Now the athlete

120
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: game is three, but you won, but we won, so

121
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: it's okay, congratulations. They're falling out in the locker room.

122
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: So we are all doing snow angels? What what prompted

123
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: that we all with the absence kicked in ABS? All

124
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: different stuff we're doing. Shy is gonna be awesome? Why

125
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: is that guy doing the running man? Now? Look, obviously

126
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: the big debate which is carrying over from last night

127
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: into tonight into tomorrow the final out of the United

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: States Dominican Republic game where Perdomo gets caught looking on

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: a pitch that is outside the strike zone. Now, there's

130
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: two things, and both things can be true about what

131
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: we're going to say. Uh. Number one, I don't think

132
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: fans realize because we're just getting that. We're just getting

133
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: the test of it right now, the first time we've

134
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: really seen it when it's a big deal, because so

135
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: far in spring training it's been all look at all

136
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: these calls getting reversed. Right, Okay, I don't think fans

137
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: really understand how revolutionary the ABS system is going to

138
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: be in the game. I really do. Even if it's

139
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: a fifty percent success rate you're talking about, the umpires

140
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: are getting half of the calls wrong, half of the

141
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: challenged calls are wrong. And it's gonna be bigger than that,

142
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: because it's not just gonna be hey, like you're seeing

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: catchers and batters and pitchers do now, hey, let's challenge

144
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: it so we can kind of get a feel for it. Now.

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: They're just challenging to challenge in spring training because there's

146
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: no real you know, ramification of they data points and

147
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: work the system. You wait until we get into the

148
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: season and all of a sudden, all these calls get reversed.

149
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Big calls, big ball four calls that would load the

150
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: bases instead to strike three and there's two outs and

151
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: two on instead. You are going to people don't understand

152
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: how revolutionary this is going to be for the game.

153
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: And this in a few years is going to put

154
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: home plate umpires out of work because eventually it's going

155
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: to be, well, if if they're making this many mistakes,

156
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: why don't we just have abs call all the balls

157
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: and strikes and this way the umpires at home foul, tips,

158
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: plays at the plate, catchers, interference, whatever else, the homeplate

159
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: umpire hangs out that for That's what that's what we're

160
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna get I'm telling you, people don't understand. This is

161
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: a revolutionary and this is not just a new thing

162
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: major League Baseball is trying. This is revolutionary and it's

163
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: going to change it. It's gonna change batters. Guys that

164
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: get squeezed all the time, Bryce Harper and Juan Soto,

165
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: guys that gook get squeezed a lot, and I go,

166
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: come on, man, where is that pitch. You're gonna suddenly

167
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: see them challenge it. They're gonna win calls, and all

168
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden they're batting average. Their stats are gonna

169
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: fatten up because hey, yeah, these guys get squeezed a

170
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: lot for whatever reason, that's not gonna happen. Well, but

171
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing, right, the human element. For years we've

172
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: had all Right, this guy's a low strike umpire. This

173
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: guy lets you paint the corners. You can be on

174
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: the black a little bit, maybe a little bit off.

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: As long as you're consistent, you're gonna get that call

176
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: up down in the zone. It's a re education for

177
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: all umpires at this point because you're going to a

178
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: standard strike zone once part a time, Right, we were

179
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: taught letters to knees. It's never been the letters to

180
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: the knees. Right, It's it's always been compressed a lot

181
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: of twenty strikeout games, if that was what I mean, Like,

182
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: if if you literally called it to that every pitch

183
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: of a game one, they would have never had to

184
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: change any of the rules in certain pitch clocks or

185
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: whatever else, because guys would be all up and down

186
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: in the strike zone trying to figure out what they

187
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: what pitch they can hit, as opposed to waiting on

188
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: one for them. So, uh, I think a lot of it.

189
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a retraining of umpires here in short order,

190
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: and we'll see how fast that adaptability is. But in

191
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: the interim yet, we're gonna have some controversy. We're gonna

192
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: have some big calls and overturned, and we're gonna have

193
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: some chaos throughout Major League Baseball. There's no question about it.

194
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see it go into action,

195
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: right and when that first call comes and and everybody

196
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: waits with baited breath, because look, there'll be innocuous ones,

197
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, a third inning whatever again testing the parameters

198
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: of things. But eventually it's gonna be a ninth inning

199
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: game on the line called and everybody's gonna be sitting waiting.

200
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna be Opening Day, that's gonna happen.

201
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna it's gonna be an everyday thing.

202
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I don't really think fans understand just

203
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: how big of a deal this is going to be.

204
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: This is not hey, pitchclock, which has it turned out

205
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: to be somewhat of a big deal, but everybody's around it. Now.

206
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: This is gonna change the way the game is umpired,

207
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: the way the game, the way that that certain batters

208
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: are are umpired, the way that maybe some pitchers who

209
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: would always get the benefit of the doubt don't get

210
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: the benefit of the This is going to change everything

211
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: now pictures. In theory, it should give you an advantage

212
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be operating with a much bigger zone

213
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: than you have. Yeah yep in theory, yeah yeah, but

214
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: wait to say wait and could see in the crap

215
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: or anyway. Yeah, it's also gonna be where you have

216
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: to kind of pick your spots a little bit, because

217
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: to lose a challenge is a big deal. So you

218
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: want to make sure that Okay, this may be I

219
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: think that was a strike I think that was a strike,

220
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: but you know, it's one in the third inning, it's

221
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: one and one in the sixth inning. Oh, it's it's

222
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: three and oh in the eighth inning. Yeah, we're gonna

223
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: challenge that one. So I think some of them are

224
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna go by the way side just because of that. Yeah. No,

225
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's all about being judicious with it

226
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: and picking your spots and your game situations. But no

227
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: doubt there'll be a manager or two trying to find

228
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: any little bit of edge to say, all right, let's

229
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: let's be that early on and it changes the strategy.

230
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: But there's one hundred and sixty two of them, so

231
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: major League Baseball maybe sending out the invisible ink notices.

232
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: Please do not stress this system early. It'll work itself out.

233
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: We got plenty of baseball so this result. You've seen

234
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people very upset at it online with

235
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the fact that this final pitch was not ball four

236
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: instead it was strike three. And there's been a lot

237
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: of talk about and rightfully so, because the pitch was

238
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: a ball, it was ball four, and Perdomo should not

239
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: have been punched out on strikes. But I'm okay with it.

240
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: For a couple and I think people should be way

241
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: more okay. I think people are just going too crazy

242
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: about this for a couple of reasons. Number One, you know,

243
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: there's no abs in the tournament, right, It's not like

244
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: they decided the last minute, we're gonna get rid of it,

245
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: and oh now you're not gonna have it. This never

246
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: had abs. Derek Jeter said it last night. Yeah, of

247
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: course we're gonna have it next tournament. Of course we're

248
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna have it next So it's okay, you knew it

249
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: wasn't there. The pitch was close enough to swing at.

250
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm not always a big fan of wealth close enough. No,

251
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: because Pernomo saw that it was not a strike zone.

252
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: The screen grab where you can see the you can

253
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: see the ball sort of break the plate at his

254
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: front knee, but then by the time it's the catcher's love,

255
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: it's below his back. Me that it's a little bit

256
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: better of an optic that. Okay, I can see where

257
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: where you thought it was a striker was just about

258
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: to cross the plate. It was still at the knees,

259
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: but still the pitch was out of the zone. It

260
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: was a ball. The main reason I'm okay with is that.

261
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: Everybody's got to stop melting down about how oh oh,

262
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: because it wouldn't have been a game winning play like

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: this wasn't bases loaded, two outs, ninth inning and and

264
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: it's ball four and it brings in the tying run.

265
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: This would have made it first and third with two

266
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: outs in the ninth That's what it would have done.

267
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: It would have the game would have kept going, and

268
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic would have had a chance. Right Tatis was

269
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: coming up. But it's not like this was a play

270
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: that it was a run or not a run, or

271
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: it was hey, we won the game or lost the game.

272
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: This would have postponed it. It's a it's a bad

273
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: call in a football game middle of the fourth quarter

274
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: or you know, with four minutes ago in the fourth quarter. Yeah, okay, Yeah,

275
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't great and it probably should have went your way,

276
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: but it wasn't something where, oh, it would have meant

277
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: you would have won the game, right, because you would

278
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: have had first and third, and again, the chances of

279
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: winning the game at that point are still less than

280
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: fifty percent. This wasn't if it was a case of

281
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: boy that was ball four, the game was tied or

282
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: this would have been something that would have won the game. Yeah, no,

283
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it, but this would have

284
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: made it first and third, right, just say, hey, disappointing

285
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: for it to end this way. And understand the bigger

286
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: take is this is the impact that that abs is

287
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: gonna have made League Baseball. But last night, for yeah,

288
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: I was okay with it because it didn't It didn't

289
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: take the team from a winner lose game to a

290
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: chance and they have runners on base and all the

291
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: others in the end to try to win the games,

292
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it. Right. You had two calls

293
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: that didn't go your way, the eighth and the ninth.

294
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: You left runners on base. You got a little different

295
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: in terms of your base running strategy once you had

296
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: the the outfield assists and the judge play. Like all

297
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: of that plays, you forgot one very important reason why

298
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: you should be okay with it. Oh, is that US

299
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: and us US Well, remember Jason doesn't root for them.

300
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you we did. We even with Italy. I

301
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: don't know that that's gonna happ You're gonna get that chance.

302
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: So it's only a matter of time before they turned

303
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,800

Speaker 1: Bottom of the seventh. Italy got out of the rest

363
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: of the top of the seventh on any more damage. However,

364
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: Venezuelan now is nine outs away from a date with

365
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: the United States and the World Baseball Classic Final. They

366
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: push across three runs in the top of the seventh,

367
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: take a four to two lead right now, and it's

368
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: what upset me. I want that date with Italy. I

369
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: want that Italy revenge. We may not get it. Though

370
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: we may not get it. Whoever shows up, we just

371
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: actually have to hear guys, gotta be better than he's been, right,

372
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: He's gotta be aces and nails out there. And we

373
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: started to see the big flies coming out, so be

374
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: ready to get the bats flowing early and often. But yeah,

375
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: it looked like Italy was in a good spot. Two one,

376
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: they had the bases loaded. The sixth, couldn't put a

377
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: push any more across Venezuela with the an old fashioned rally,

378
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: get him on, get him over, get him in. I

379
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: am fine with Lightning McClain tomorrow. I just want to

380
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: say this and put this out there leave the game healthy. Okay,

381
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: this is big deal. Came chow, leave the game healthy. Everything,

382
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: Just leave the game healthy. So you leave it all

383
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: on the mound. It's United States. Leave the game healthy.

384
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: That's all. Leave the game healthy. We'll go in whatever

385
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: you need. Leave the game healthy because eventually this is

386
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna end and the season's gonna start. Leave the game healthy.

387
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: It's the biggest game he's gonna pitch in all year

388
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: until the playoffs NLCS probably they'll be a big deal

389
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: all year. Yeah. Again, leave the game healthy. So we

390
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: got more World Baseball class that coming up. We got

391
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: big stuff for the NCAA tournament. Big news in the

392
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: NFL today, a big trade goes down as the Jets

393
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: continue to wheel and deal and they trade Justin Fields

394
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs in exchange for a six round draft pick. Now,

395
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: the uh the Jets are paying seven million if Justin

396
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: Fields is ten million dollars this year, So basically they're

397
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: getting Geno Smith for one year and ten million. That's

398
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: kind of right what they're getting Geno. They have to

399
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: pay the Chiefs to take Justin Fields. Now, what's Justin

400
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Field's gonna do? Because I'll answer the big question Justin

401
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: Field is gonna come in. He's gonna take all the

402
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: reps early in the spring into the summer as Patrick

403
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes comes back from his big injury. Now Mahomes says,

404
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I'll be back week one. Everything we've seen so far

405
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: seems like he's gonna be back week one. And here's

406
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: Justin Fields in now for the rest of his career,

407
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: which is going to be as a backup to Patrick Mahomes.

408
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: I would be stunned if he's playing Week one for

409
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But he's gonna get most of the offseason reps.

410
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: And that's how it's gonna go. The Jets need to

411
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: move on and just first, quick second, the Jets have

412
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: made some good moves this offseason. Have they made enough

413
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: moves to be a playoff team? They have not. They've

414
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: made enough moves to be a six or seven win team,

415
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be maybe seven to ten. I'll get

416
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: to celebrate a few more wins. Great, but overall they're

417
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: gaining assets. They're getting Look, they got four big picks

418
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: in the first forty or first sixty this year, then

419
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: they have tremendous amount of picks next year to more

420
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: first round picks. I believe they have like six of

421
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: the top or seven of the top eighty picks something

422
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: like that. Now they got a six round pick, they

423
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: can maneuver with a little bit the extra pick here.

424
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: So they have done a great job of us of

425
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: amassing resources. But yeah, you know, the tricky part is

426
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: that you gotta pick the right guys. That's the tricky

427
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: part too. That was the question I was gonna ask,

428
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: you believe in this crew. I mean, look, they were

429
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: able to they made they made a trade to to

430
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: bring in Geno. Okay, but then you got a return

431
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields. So asked and answered, all right, the

432
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: bit of a wash. The defense looks better. But you

433
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: have all these draft picks, can you parlay them into

434
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: something bigger? Because as you lay it out, defense is

435
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty strong. If the offense is serviceable, you

436
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: accidentally win enough games to where you're out of the

437
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: sweepstakes for these big quarterbacks that everybody spent the latter

438
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: half of the season tried to tank to get in

439
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: position to draft. It's it's again, they're gonna win enough

440
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: games to get the seven. Okay, right, but they did

441
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: job of Yeah, but it's like it's like this, Like

442
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: when I go to here's the thing when people think

443
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: like it's, oh, I have the money. I go to

444
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: the vending machine. I want cupcakes. I put the money in,

445
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: I press the button, I get cupcakes. It's not how

446
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: it works in the NFL. You have the money, Yeah,

447
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: you have the draft picks. Ever, you gotta you gotta

448
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: go press the right buttons. You press the wrong button instead,

449
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: you're getting honey bunches of oats. I don't want honey

450
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: bunch of votes. I want to try. I want to

451
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: truck cut. You don't get those. Sorry, hit the wrong button.

452
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, you gotta know what you're doing in the draft.

453
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: You gotta know what you're doing. Honey bunch of oats

454
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: give you more fire. You gotta know what you do.

455
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: But if, but if I don't want that, if that's

456
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: not good for me, just do the opposite of the jet.

457
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: Ifs the cupcakes are good. But that's the thing. You

458
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: can't and then you know what you're doing. That's the problem,

459
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: because whatever the Jets do, if they do the opposite,

460
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: it means what they thought was gonna be right was

461
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: actually right. No matter what, No matter what they do,

462
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: what's wrong. There's nothing ever bad against the Sicilian when

463
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: death is on the line. If trading Justin Fields was

464
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: the right move, now it's gonna out to be the

465
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: wrong move because now he's gonna go somewhere and be great.

466
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: But if holding on to him was the right move,

467
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the wrong move because he's gonna be terrible.

468
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: Oh he's gonna be with the Chiefs, which means he

469
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: might be now on the scale of and we've taught

470
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: we've talked about this. Congratulations everybody else who took this take.

471
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: I saw this take on ESPN earlier today. Uh. Look,

472
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnald's success, you can't close the door in

473
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: any quarterback potentially having a super Bowl type success of

474
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: a career. Because Donald when he signed with the Vikings

475
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: was never supposed to start again. He was gonna back

476
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: up JJ McCarthy. That's what it was. He was twenty

477
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: seven years old. We had seen him. He's had a

478
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: couple of chances to start. It didn't work. But a

479
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, yeah, okay, he's very valuable as a backup.

480
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: He was never supposed to start again. So this whole narrative, Oh,

481
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: look at Sam Darnald. Look, you know why I say

482
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: there's a system for everybody. You gotta find that system

483
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: and you gotta get the chance. And he wasn't gonna

484
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: get the chance if McCarthy didn't get hurt. So you

485
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: can't close the door in anybody, because again there is

486
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: a system for everybody. But on my scale of one

487
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: to ten of x jet now good, okay, scale of

488
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: one scalea won x, I always say that's the big

489
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: saying is always x jet now good. Right now, it's

490
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: the ten has a giant picture of Sam darn tennis

491
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, and one is everything else. If oh no,

492
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: now he's back right now, it's it's a at ten.

493
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: It's a picture of Donald waving at you with Darrell

494
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Reeves stayed out in the back and then he came back. Yeah, yeah, okay,

495
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: if x ge I'm trying to think, who is like

496
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: the worst jet they let you know that turned out

497
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: to not be any good after they let him go. No,

498
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Gino went a couple of Pro bowls after they let

499
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: him go. No, he was good. He set Now good, Zoe,

500
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: your daughter could get to the Pro Bowl. She can't.

501
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: She got pretty good arm. But uh, I know I can't.

502
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: I can't use Geno because he actually went to the

503
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl a couple of times. It's not like he

504
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: went somewhere and just disappeared. So if Sam is ten

505
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: and one is Zach Wilson, right, because I don't have

506
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: to worry he's not even gonna be in the league.

507
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: So if ten is if tennis, Sam and one is

508
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, where I don't have to I've told you

509
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: from the beginning, the one guy didn't have to worry

510
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: about going swear and being great with Zach Wilson, that

511
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: did not have to have to worry about that. We

512
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: really needed it though as a uh content with his mom.

513
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: I think they're still talking. I would there's no time.

514
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: He's never still he's still a kid and Sean Payton,

515
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: who loves I'm not worried about him again. He's probably

516
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna be in the CFL at some point soon. That's

517
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: a cfoald. Uh. He was, he was one step from it.

518
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: He was, he was already in Minnesota. He just it's

519
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: very quick to go over the over the border to

520
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: go to Canada. Uh. I am my worry about Justin

521
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: Fields becoming the next Sam Darnold scale of one to ten.

522
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: I have that as a three at best, because what

523
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: because number one, as long as Patrick Mahomes is healthy,

524
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: he's not going to play. This is not Minnesota where well, hey, yeah,

525
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: we don't know who our guy is. No, this is

526
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is the guy. He's gonna be healthy, He's

527
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: gonna play. Now. What I worry about in Justin Fields

528
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: is kind of like a Chad Henny ish or Nick

529
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: Foles type situation where hey, they're rolling through, rolling through.

530
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: Something happens and Mahomes gets hurt and for a very

531
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: short amount of time he's got to play a game

532
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: or two, and he wins a big playoff game or

533
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: wins a super Bowl. It's the Chiefs win with Justin

534
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: Fields coming in and playing the Super Bowl because Mahomes

535
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: got hurt in the AFC Championship game. That's the only scenario.

536
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: In a minute, Now, how low is that? That's probably

537
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: a three out of scale of one to ten. So

538
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's non existent because I can completely

539
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: because I swe watch it with Chad Henny when he

540
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: came off the bench win a playoff game. We watched

541
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: Nick Foles show up where this guy's never gonna start. Oh,

542
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he wins a Super Bowl with

543
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles that I can see. Have that. I

544
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: can see, yeah, for a game or something here or there,

545
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: the AFC title game in Kansas City where it's really

546
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: cold and Fields being the running quarterback runs for one

547
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: hundred some odd yards, throws for twenty five in a

548
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: game and they wind up winning. I can see that

549
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: for justin Fields. But overall, I don't have a huge

550
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: fear that, oh, well, he's gonna turn the next Sam down.

551
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: It's a three on a scale one.

552
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: No.

553
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: If he's got to do it for a long period

554
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: of time, We've seen him try it in multiple locations,

555
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: there are gonna be wow moments, and they are gonna

556
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: be wow moments. He finished his career with the Bears strongly,

557
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: last couple of games, some heroics. That was all fine

558
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: and good. That's a lifetime ago, all right, those feel

559
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: good moments because we've seen it in Pittsburgh, we've seen

560
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: it with the Jets, and now you have an opportunity

561
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Look different environment, the enemies back. You

562
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: got the Andy Reid effect and working with Patrick Mahomes

563
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: a rededicated Travis Kelsey. We'll see what the rest of

564
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: that offense looks like. Right, you added Kenneth Walker the third.

565
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: That's great. You still need to reconstitute that wide receiving

566
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: corps because you have no idea about availability of rice

567
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: and on down the line. So still some work to

568
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: be done. And the athleticism off the charts. But is

569
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: it sustainable over a full sixteen seventeen weeks. No, but

570
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: your nightmare scenario of one to two games, Yeah, it's

571
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: enough of a different element that Patrick Mahomes only offers

572
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: you at the minimal right, including a couple of those

573
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: scrambles to the edge. Will he go out of bounds

574
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: or Woni Justin Fields can hurt you with his legs,

575
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: can extend plays in the way that Mahomes does not

576
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: with the same arm and accuracy. But yeah, there are

577
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: some elements. The problem is he'll be chased down by

578
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: all those big defensive ends in the AFC West, So

579
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: a difficult proposition for him for to sustain success. But

580
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: it should still give you nightmares. Nonetheless, No, it doesn't,

581
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't. Really, I don't have this big concern because

582
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: again I've watched Justin Fields play now a few times,

583
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: and I know for all the different things about Justin Fields,

584
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something about him that is really that

585
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: that is going to really hit home with him as

586
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: far as the player he is. If the NFL field

587
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: was only between the numbers or between the hashmarks between

588
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: the numbers, Justin Fields would be pretty good. Because you

589
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: watch him, he is really good throwing the football in

590
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Right, Not not a lot

591
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks are, but he is really good doing that.

592
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: Go back and watch the tape. Right, But you get

593
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: outside the numbers, he's terrible. I mean, he is one

594
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: of the worst outside the numbers throwers I've ever seen.

595
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: Just go back and watch the two passes where he

596
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: got Garrett Wilson hurt, who missed the rest of the

597
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: season last year. He can't throw a five yard out right.

598
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: He can't throw the ball to the side. He simply

599
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: can't do it. So when you only have to defend,

600
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: really worry about defending the middle of the field. Yeah,

601
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be something where suddenly he goes up

602
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: and down the field. No, dude, you can just let

603
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: you could just you could just have the cornerback be

604
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: lineup with the receiver, and if the receiver runs towards

605
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: the sideline, the cornerback just stand, just stand at the

606
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: hash mark, because then just maybe the tight end will

607
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: release and that shoe's to throw the football. Because he can't

608
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: throw it. He can't watch him. He can't throw the

609
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: football outside the numbers. He's absolutely terrible. He's one of

610
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: the worst people I've ever seen, and a lot of it.

611
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: He throws easy. Just here's a five yard out getting field,

612
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: go range. Nope, can't make that throw. It's ten feet

613
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: behind him. It's sailed over his head. He can't. But

614
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: in middle of the field, he's not bad, right, that's

615
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 1: where all his success has been. Whenever I saw make

616
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: a big throw last year with the Jets middle of

617
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: the field. But on the outside of the numbers, forget it, man,

618
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's absolutely terrible. But being so limited

619
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: like that in a game where he's thrust in, Hey,

620
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes goes out with an ankle injury, Well, they run

621
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: the football really well because you know, they got a

622
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: pretty good running back now in Kenneth Walker. But you know, hey,

623
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: you can clearly run a running offense through him where, Hey,

624
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: they haven't practiced for this, it's gonna be a little

625
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 1: bit different. Can I see him getting chunk yardage and

626
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: not suddenly putting up hundreds of yards of offense, but

627
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: an off offense to win a game? And Justin Fields

628
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: walks off the field with a football in the air.

629
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: They carry him off on their shoulders. Justin Fields, what

630
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: a great redemption story the latest Jets quarterback. Now, I

631
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: can see that, but again, that's worst case scenario. I

632
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: don't see that as likely. I don't see that as

633
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: anything that I worry about coming up Sam Darnold coming

634
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: off that or with the Vikings going to the Seahawks.

635
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, maybe, oh man, but Justin Field,

636
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: very very very little. I can't say it's zero because

637
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: it's the Jets and it's always gonna be something that

638
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: winds up coming back to crutch them. But overall, I mean,

639
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm about of the three. I can see the terror

640
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: in your eyes, though, as much as you're trying to

641
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: downplay the fact that he's already had right, the fact

642
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: that he's already had this nightmare, just like that, it's

643
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: one of those he's staring ahead and you can like

644
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: in a movie, if zap into his brain and there

645
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: it is. He's had this entire scenario worked out. Because

646
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: that was very intricate. That wasn't a fleeting. Ah, maybe

647
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: he's good, maybe he's not. It's like no, no, no, you

648
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: drew out the full scenario. Because because I had some

649
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: time to think about it today, I think, Okay, how

650
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: worried am I? Now? I knew he was gonna be

651
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: in Syracuse lacrosse because he went from the sand which

652
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: you because he went to a good team. I'm like, Okay,

653
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: here's a guy going to it. It's not like, oh, hey,

654
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Justin Field's got cut and he's he's gonna sign with

655
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: the Browns. I mean, come on, man, sorry, Brown's just

656
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: got side wipe there. I don't have to worry about that.

657
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh he's gonna sign with the Raiders. He's going to

658
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: start until Frenana Mendoz is ready. Okay, I don't worry

659
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: about that. But he goes to a good team. I

660
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: had to spend some time thinking about that. Man like

661
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smithon who's talking about running for president, I

662
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: got some time. I got to figure out what the

663
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: issues are so I can study them so I can

664
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: know them. For the debates we had about running the country,

665
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: I got to know what the issues are first, Okay.

666
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: I had to spend some time, had spent some time

667
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: thinking about it. What do I see? What's the best

668
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: and worst case scenario? To be fair, there's a lot

669
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: of career politicians who haven't taken that first step.

670
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Jason, you lied about one part of

671
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: your your whole thing on justin field.

672
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: What did I mean?

673
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: Everything was great except except what you said he had

674
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 3: big throws with the Jets. I look back at the

675
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: stat there isn't one of them.

676
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: When I say he had a big throw, im actually

677
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: had zero. He went he went downfield. No, he had

678
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: a couple of big games. He didn't. He had that

679
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: big game against Pittsburgh. He had a big game against Pittsburgh,

680
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: and he had a huge game against the Bengals. He

681
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: had two earl reviews. Tho there was no those games.

682
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: Was our first win? Come on, man, it was our

683
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: first win of the year. Of course that counts. That

684
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: win kept us from getting Fernando Mendoza. That's fair fields fields.

685
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: Time now to find out what's trending in the wide

686
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: world of Sports with someone who's been called the Justin

687
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: Fields of Fox Sports Radio. He has a tough time

688
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: throwing the ball at the outside as well. It's Steve

689
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: di Seger.

690
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 5: I also have had a couple of good throws. Good

691
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 5: throw blanket, good throw.

692
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: Pillow good good, Okay, very nice. That's about it.

693
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 5: So I'm tied with Justin Fields.

694
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: Very good. We're going to the ninth inning.

695
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: I had two throws ninth inning in Miami in the

696
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 5: semifinal at the World Baseball Classic. Venezuela is leading undefeated

697
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 5: Italy for to two and they're about to start the

698
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 5: top of the night now. The starter for Italy tonight,

699
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: Aaron Nola, went four innings, one run allowed. Michael Lorenzen,

700
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 5: normally a starter, came on in relief after two scoreless

701
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 5: innings with two outs. In the seventh, he allowed three

702
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 5: runs and Venezuela took the lead. The winner tonight gets

703
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,920

Speaker 1: this is a World Baseball Classic play that was picked

779
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: specially by Justin Frossberg. I think I know what it

780
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: is and it is your play of the day. We'll

781
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: get used to these. Jason three comes of the one

784
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: of the eight.

785
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Think y'all brought they too? FS one on the call. Yes,

786
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: part of Juan Soto's for four, part of Mets Superstar

787
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: Juan sotos Oh for four night last night, very upset.

788
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: Didn't like the final call there, didn't like the final

789
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: call to per Doomo on the final out of the game.

790
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: And this gets us to something where I'm gonna give

791
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: one say this my guy, Wan Soda, right, he's my

792
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: guy Mets, right, my guy A year of heartbreak. Yeah,

793
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: I am gonna tell you this just like I told

794
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: Canada last month when Jan Soto came out after the

795
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: game and said, hey, we proved to everybody who the

796
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: best team in the WBC was. Dude, you won a

797
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: lot of games by a lot of runs. You didn't

798
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: make it out of the semis. Okay, you didn't get

799
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: all the way to the championship game and you had

800
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: a home run call get canceled because of a pitch

801
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: violation or something like. I mean, you didn't get out

802
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: of the semis. You didn't get out. Yeah, bad call

803
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: against you. That would have simply put the winning run

804
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: at first base. There were we're still down a run,

805
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. For

806
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: Wan Soto to say, hey, we all saw who the

807
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: best team in the World Baseball Classic was. I will

808
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: tell him the same thing I told Canada after the

809
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: Olympics last month. Take the L. Take the L. You lost.

810
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: Take the L, and I hate because you know now

811
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: I forget it now now he's my guy again, obviously,

812
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: but here for a couple of weeks World Baseball Classic.

813
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: Take the L. Canada was upset. Oh, I can't believe

814
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: we had to settle this three on three. We all

815
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: showed who the best team was. No, you didn't. You

816
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: would have won the game. You did not. We played better. Yeah,

817
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: but that's why there's a scoreboard. Take the L. That's

818
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: take the L. You lost, Go home. I know, I

819
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: get it. It's very disappointing that a bunch of relievers

820
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: that that you know, would that barely make All star teams.

821
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: Are there, right, Mason Miller throwing one hundred and seven

822
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: miles an hour last night for the Padres. I get

823
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: that you're a little upset. I get that you thought

824
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: you should have gone further. I get that, Hey, we

825
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: had just mercied Korea and we were going on. I

826
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: understand all these things. But you lost. The United States.

827
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: They beat you two to one. You had chances. You

828
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: had runners on base in each of the final four innings.

829
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: You had runners at the corners, you had runners at

830
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: second and third. You had run. You had what you needed,

831
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: and you couldn't get the tying run in Take the L.

832
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: Take the L. You had the judge outfield assist. You

833
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: left a number of people on base. You had opportunity.

834
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: Never let it go to the judges. And that's exactly

835
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: what happens here. We could argue about up down, high low,

836
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: but as soon as Soto got punched out on that call,

837
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: you know that you're working with a little bit of

838
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: a lower strike zone. So you've got to adjust appropriately.

839
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: In the end, you can't spread the runs around. You

840
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: can't say, hey, we could use two from that blowout win. No,

841
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: that's not how baseball works. It's a blowout win, and

842
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: you succeed and proceed. I like the swagger with which

843
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: they left the clubhouse and everybody singing and whatever, but

844
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: the saltiness and look, it's it's okay if you feel

845
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: you're the best. The history of this tournament will suggest otherwise.

846
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: And you went home early, and now you get to

847
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 1: get ready for what will be a long, arduous campaign

848
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: with the Mets, and maybe you'll remember that strike three

849
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: call and maybe that'll fuel you. But for this tournament,

850
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 1: it's an l Yeah, first of many, may lose sixty games.

851
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: First of many, maybe lose sixty ninety ninety five games,

852
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: maybe more, depending if you put a one in it.

853
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: Nolan McLean is they win one hundred and five games? Like, yeah,

854
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: you know you lose sixty games sixty I'm okay with that.

855
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Borderline Hoffman and rain Man. As your cadence went through.

856
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: How are they pitching that bum tomorrow? He's telling you

857
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: you would He's gonna go. He'll probably go three or

858
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: four innings and then no, no, look, I am case

859
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: Dudel McLean is just stop. And you would love to

860
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: have Nolan McLean. You would love to have him. The

861
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: guy throws a frisbee. He's the guy that handsaw the baseball. Ah. Yeah,

862
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: because where's Japan in the oh? Sorry, they're not here either. Uh.

863
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: I think the plan is pretty good United, It's pretty

864
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: good as long as and we'll get into this next hour. Hey,

865
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: they're allowed to use the pitchers they want to use

866
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: because the padre suddenly are wait, you want to throw

867
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: Mason Miller again in the ninth inning, and after you know,

868
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 1: two outings of twenty some odd pitches. I mean, Mark

869
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: de Rosa's got the plan of you're gonna get Nolan McLain.

870
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: However many pitches, fifty sixty pitches hopefully three four innings.

871
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: Then you have the last three innings all set right,

872
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: you know you can put bednar in you you have

873
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: the last last three nings, how you like it? So

874
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: where do you navigate the fifth and sixth innings? Right,

875
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the big thing for the United States.

876
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: Maybe McClain pitch is a little bit longer, maybe you

877
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: have to dip to the bull number earlier. But this

878
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: is where we're at, and Nolan McLain will be just

879
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: find tomorrow all about whether Venezuela can force some stressful

880
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: innings early, create some chaos and some decision points for Deurosa.

881
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: But plenty more on that. But yeah, Wan Soto, just

882
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: take the L you lost, take the L, go away.

883
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: You want some games with style, right, As many of

884
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: the other contributors and combatants in this tournament did. Guess what,

885
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: You're on the short end for one game. That's all

886
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: that matters right. The beauty of the elimination process just again,

887
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: It's very empowering if you just take the L and

888
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: move on. Exit about a Fresca exit swrolling dome. Coming

Speaker 1: the Nuggets this weekend and Austin Reeves with a missed

913
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: free throw and the bucket to send it to overtime.

914
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: Pretty pretty fun game. Now, all of a sudden, the

915
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: Lakers win one game and it's oh, we're back. Now,

916
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: We're great, We're gonna be awesome. We're so fantastic. We're

917
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: probably win a couple in a row against good teams,

918
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: which is something they hadn't done all year. You go

919
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: back to the win over your Nicks, a win over

920
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves, and then that big game against Denver, which

921
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: had some first right, the first game winning shot Luca

922
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 1: in ot the Reeves play, couldn't orchestrate it any better,

923
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: and then we joked about it. Ryan Allins and I

924
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: doing a little bit of Sunday morning work here on

925
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, even JJ Reddick said, I don't think

926
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in all his years Lebron James layout

927
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: for a ball, diving to the court as he did.

928
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: Might still have chunks of that court in his arm.

929
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. But it's been an entertaining game against

930
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: Houston here. They'll play them tonight, play them again on Wednesdays.

931
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: So a little bit of a nice test here. As

934
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: Lucas probably if it's not one, it's no stop. I

935
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: can see him. I can see him again finishing in

936
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,520

00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: like it's like a grade, like Michael C. Jordan. You know,

996
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: stop at some point Z, you know, like the Ted

997
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: thing Michael and we started it was who wrote that?

998
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: F Scott Fitzgerald. Why are you saying that Michael A. A. Jordan,

999
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: Michael B. B Jordan, Michael C. C. Double A. Well

1000
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: you have to, Mary said, when you get to Z

1001
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: and you start over again at double A. That's a

1002
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot of h M M A J one

1003
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: M A J one. Sure. That'll be how people's names

1004
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: are in like twenty years. We don't have full names

1005
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: anymore US. Yeah, just hashtags and Roman numerals and that side.

1006
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's the world is gonna be like a

1007
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: Minority report. That's how it's gonna be. I'd be dead.

1008
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: It's I really think either that a robot harbor robot

1009
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: harm save my brain in my pretty face. So look,

1010
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan wins, which was an awesome moment. I mean,

1011
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: his career is just flipping outstanding. But last night you

1012
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: kind of had to make a choice because you had

1013
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: the Oscars on one channel and you had the World

1014
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic on the other. This is United States Dominican Republic,

1015
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: which is probably the most talent we've ever seen on

1016
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: a field at once in a game that actually meant something,

1017
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: Like we see this in the All Star games all

1018
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: the time, but the also games don't really mean anything.

1019
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: This game meant something, probably the most talent we've ever seen.

1020
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: Now we go right from the NSA Selection Show into

1021
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,919
Speaker 1: the Oscars into the World Baseball Classic. So that that's

1022
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a choice that you kind of have

1023
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: to make there. And don't give me this, Oh, you

1024
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: just have a two screens, you know, I just watched

1025
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: two screenes wanted two screens kind of to make a

1026
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: choice to see both of these things. Sure you can

1027
00:50:55,719 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: have multiple screens anything else you watch, but it's first country, right, No, no, no,

1028
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: I just I just went went back and checked. We

1029
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: taped the hospital, by the way, the All Star Game

1030
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: come on that time it counted, yeah, the one yeah,

1031
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: the one time it came that whole in a time.

1032
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: It was a tie in time when it counted. Because no,

1033
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: it's if you want to go to the point, this

1034
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: is why I'm a big proponent of the two television

1035
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: living room. Like not that, not the two screen, but

1036
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: the two television living room. Oh okay, so you have

1037
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: two big you know, you have a living room that's big.

1038
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: You should have four. For NFL anyway, four is even better.

1039
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: But just judging by the people I know and in

1040
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: my life, getting two in the living room, that's a

1041
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: bit of a that's a bit of an agreement. That's

1042
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a It's kind of like the uh,

1043
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: the MLBPA and you know, trying to figure things out

1044
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: in the w NBA, and it's like a big collective

1045
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: bargaining agreement to try to get that to happen. It's

1046
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: like I want two TV's two TVs. No, no, no,

1047
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: but two TVs for sports and everything else because you

1048
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: want to be able to see stuff on the biggest

1049
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: screen possible. That's why people have big TVs. Right, Yeah,

1050
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: you could have a picture and picture or two screens,

1051
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: but you don't want small screens. No one knowing about

1052
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: a small screen sized TV front or two hundred bucks. Yeah,

1053
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: have a big two minimal fit have a big two screen.

1054
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: But just judging by the reaction, and I didn't feel

1055
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: in Look, the OSCARS has been something that has slowly declined.

1056
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: The OSCARS is very similar to the NBA All Star Game,

1057
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, Major League Baseball All Star Game, where

1058
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: viewership is starting to spin and starting to fall off,

1059
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: and all it is is every year, let's try to

1060
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: find a way to keep the OSCARS relevant and not

1061
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 1: lose as many viewers. Let's try to do that, right,

1062
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 1: That's where the OSCARS has been because the last few

1063
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: years it's been in a it's been in a free fall.

1064
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,919
Speaker 1: It used to be, hey, thirty eight million, forty million

1065
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: people watch you. I was always the number two watched

1066
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: event of the year, behind the super Bowl. And now

1067
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: it's like there's one hundred things ahead of it. Now

1068
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: it's just number two. Now it's in now it's now

1069
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: it's Michael b Oscars. Now it's Michael d. Every one

1070
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: of the the script scripted bits was terrible. Oh well,

1071
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: and and that's one after another. It was really what

1072
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Well, I mean yeah, I mean

1073
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: and and and and quite honestly, like, you know, just

1074
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: to think about the Oscars for a second, right, going

1075
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: back and forth, because we watched World Baseball Classic tape

1076
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: the Oscars now didn commercials. We flip over to see

1077
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: the oscars what was going on? Yeah, But the fact

1078
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: that you you're so worried about the oscars running long,

1079
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: and you run all sorts of bad bits, like oh

1080
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: my god, the Lewis Pullman Bill Pullman bit, like come on, man,

1081
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: if you're gonna put these guys on camera and have

1082
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: them do a bit, at least have him practice it

1083
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: or do something, or have somebody write something where it's

1084
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: where it's good. Right. They look like they never met

1085
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: each other, Like I didn't like, I didn't mind the

1086
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: Bridesmaids on it, but I'm like, there's a Bridesmaids fifteenth

1087
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: and that's a thing that went ten minutes. That's the

1088
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: thing like that just kept going. Don't see like you

1089
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: have no This is why it gets so long. Right,

1090
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: you have these bits you put out there, and I

1091
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 1: understand you want to do live stuff, but let's have

1092
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: bits that you know are gonna work. Let's have bits

1093
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: that go a little bit brisker and the last thing

1094
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: you want to cut out from because I'm like, nobody

1095
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: turns away when the main six awards are given and

1096
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: the acceptance speeches go right, No one's turning away Michael B.

1097
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: Jordan's acceptance speech. No one's tuning out for that. No

1098
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 1: one's tuning out for Jesse Buckley's speech when she accepts

1099
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: for Hamnett, or for Amy Madigan, or when Paul Thomas

1100
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: Anderson is up there. Everybody wants to see what people

1101
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: are saying when they're thanking people. Now do you want

1102
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: to see it from people you don't know? And for

1103
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: awards like costume and for okay, I understand that, but

1104
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 1: the main actor, everybody wants to see. No one's saying,

1105
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: oh big be drum click and I can move over. No,

1106
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: they want to see what everybody has to say. Why

1107
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: are you cutting that part of it? Like that's the

1108
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: worst part. There's so many other things you can cut.

1109
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 1: But when the main six awards are given. I want

1110
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: to see what these people have to say. Well, they

1111
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: got they got their moments right, it was a little

1112
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: bit earlier. And that's that's where there's now the debate

1113
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: of how many people get to talk when you go

1114
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: up there, right, if you bring fifteen people up there,

1115
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: you can't say all right, now he's got something he

1116
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: wants to say, like now you're pushing it. But all

1117
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: the comedy bits, they were just awful. Yeah, they Tonan

1118
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: might as well have just done, you know, another monologue

1119
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: because he at least was moderately entertaining everything else, do

1120
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: more of the PostScript thing, like he uh, the folks

1121
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: had turned away and they had the little one battle

1122
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: after another nod in the win was pretty good. But yeah,

1123
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 1: it's just as I'm watching it, going, really, this is

1124
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 1: this is bad. This This is worse improv than than

1125
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: anything done on sports talk radio. And and these are

1126
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 1: the most talented people in the wars that they're talent

1127
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: at this, The most talented people in the world are

1128
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: doing this right, I mean Evans and Downy Jr. That

1129
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: was awful, Like just one after another. This is tough, man,

1130
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: This is a tough watch man, I guess. I mean,

1131
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: you want people to be in a position to succeed,

1132
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: and you see it, so you you you put up

1133
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: a tough watch and then you double up with this.

1134
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: And this is something that was said that didn't gain

1135
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: a lot of attention, but I really do believe it.

1136
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: Like Amanda Seafree didn't interview today, you know, start of

1137
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: the house Maid, you know, and she's done a lot

1138
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: of stuff the last twenty and mean girls. Yeah, and

1139
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 1: she said, you know she can tell the weather gen

1140
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: Z sixty five percent chance of it while it's rating

1141
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: sixty five percent. She said, you know, gen Z doesn't

1142
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: care about the Oscars. We don't. We don't care about

1143
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: the Oscars as much. And that's such a big deal

1144
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: because when you see that, why the Oscars are losing

1145
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: viewers and something like Major League Baseball, The World Baseball

1146
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: Classic is doing really well. Okay, well it's a live

1147
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: sporting event. We don't know how it's going to go.

1148
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: But by and large, you had two big events here.

1149
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: And I never thought for a second about hey, watching

1150
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: the Oscars and then catching up with the World Baseball Classic,

1151
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's you know, and I'm

1152
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: some one of my fifties, and I'm like in the

1153
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: wheelhouse of where they want their oscar coverage to go to.

1154
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: Because every year a couple of things happened. The Academy

1155
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: voters get older and older. But the younger generation really

1156
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: doesn't care about the Oscars. They don't care about the competition,

1157
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: they don't care about winning the Oscars. That's not what

1158
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: gen Z is right. Like, here's a perfect example. Ryan Kugler, right,

1159
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: who is I'll see everything he does. He's an incredible director. Obviously, Sinners,

1160
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, was probably the most interesting film of the

1161
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: year last year, all the different things they did. Like

1162
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: one of the things that Hollywood wants to do is, hey,

1163
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: we want to get younger voters in, right, you know,

1164
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't want to be all the bit And they

1165
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: asked Ryan Coogler to come in and vote and he

1166
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: said no. And he said no because he said, I

1167
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: don't believe that we should be judged against each other

1168
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: for the Oscars. And I'm like, okay, but you're at

1169
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: this ceremony and you're here, it's a and you're a

1170
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: guy that played football, You're not you. Everybody gets a trophy. Yeah,

1171
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean so when something like this happens and you

1172
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: see that this younger generation, Yeah, the whole competition thing

1173
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: is not what it was. They just don't care as much.

1174
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: There's so many entertainment avenues for everybody to participate in

1175
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: now with the streaming shows and movies and there's so much,

1176
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: there's so much out there to make a living on

1177
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: and do well on that just the competition of winning

1178
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: the Oscar is just not there. And the younger generation

1179
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: doesn't care as much, and the younger generation, younger generation,

1180
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: they're not gonna watch but don't care. But I think

1181
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: it grabs to a lot of folks, and this is

1182
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: where you could start getting into some of the larger

1183
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: social political and whatever. But it's also a once upon

1184
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: a time Hollywood came together and the Oscars? Was it right?

1185
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: That was your moment in terms of, hey, they're on

1186
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: the red carpet. This guy doesn't do interviews. He's not

1187
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: randomly sitting on anybody's couch for five straight days pushing

1188
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: this and then going on a bunch of podcasts and

1189
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: doing his own podcasts and doing like they were recluses.

1190
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: You didn't know these people. It's kind of like we

1191
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: talk about with sports figures, like they were shadowed, like

1192
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: nobody knew anything about Jordan, Like if the guys showed

1193
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: up played really well in games. Yeah, eventually you found

1194
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: out about the gambling and whatever. But but for the

1195
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: most part, they were enigmatic. They were they were otherly otherworldly.

1196
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: And now they're they're everywhere. Right, every time they go

1197
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: for a sandwich. Uh, there's press, press outings, right, they're

1198
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,959
Speaker 1: they're pr people getting them a little bit of run

1199
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: or everything becomes uh, you know, just walking their dog

1200
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. It's like, oh, there, they are just

1201
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: like us. So some of that is gone, right, the

1202
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: accessibility and that specialness, not to mention the award seasons

1203
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: is what four months long anymore? Yeah? Well, and also

1204
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: seen everything, all the all the going to the movies.

1205
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: It's not. People are way more happy to I'll sit

1206
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: at home and watch all these streaming shows, or I'll

1207
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: wait for this movie to come. Nobody, nobody stands up.

1208
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: It's oh, I really hope this wins. This was the

1209
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: best movie. This was not. That's just gone. And and

1210
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that that eraror is ever coming back to.

1211
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: When you are Frostburg, well, it's also because they're not

1212
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: making great movies like they used to make. Ah, I

1213
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: don't know about these are good because the ones that

1214
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: go up against these good ones are garbage. Well, look

1215
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: when they went to ten.

1216
00:59:53,640 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 3: Question years ago ago, every movie was great. I still

1217
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 3: think you have. You have a lot of really good movies.

1218
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: You have a lot of movie ones that are good

1219
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: because the competition is horrible. Well, when you when you

1220
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: when you put ten, I don't think you need to

1221
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: put ten up. I don't think you need to put

1222
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: ten movies.

1223
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 3: And he's in that thing shortening the speeches because nobody

1224
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: does want to watch them.

1225
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: The numbers are telling him that. Yeah, but look but

1226
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: look at what they did this year, right, you had

1227
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: a huge battle for for best Actor with Chalomey and

1228
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan and Ethan Hawke and and and who

1229
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: was gonna win. You used to have in order to

1230
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: keep you know, like real actors, not these freak today.

1231
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't know you had you had, you had, that's

1232
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: pretty schalome is a really big star, is a really

1233
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: big star. Michael B. Jordan's are really big. That's a

1234
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: pretty He played a pretty good deal. Yeah, Well, look

1235
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't think the movie was that great. But he's

1236
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: still a big star. It's still it's still something that

1237
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: in the past, it's a big star because he's going

1238
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: up against people that are just good. No, I don't know.

1239
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 3: Also, he did talk about Pallet was already done.

1240
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: I did just just overall with the with the way

1241
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: that there's so much more out there to consume the

1242
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: interest level in seeing all these movies and being there.

1243
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: Because I'll admit now, all the movies I used to

1244
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: go see when they were nominated, I don't have to

1245
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: see anyone. I'm like, oh, that's gonna Hamnett looks so

1246
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: incredibly depressing. I don't need to see that movie, whereas

1247
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, I gotta see Hamlett. Jesse Buckley's gonna

1248
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: get nominated. Maybe something else gonna happen, Like if you're

1249
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: something that like, okay, you're gonna really depress me. I

1250
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: don't care, right, I'll subscribe to the Bill Maher philosophy

1251
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: of no, you know what, entertain me, don't make me

1252
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: feel bad, don't make me feel bad, don't ben tell

1253
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: me this is an important movie. But see, that's why

1254
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't hang out your dystopian universe entertain me. You

1255
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: can still entertain the Dystopian now. You know it's slow starting,

1256
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: but once you get going, you're you're there. Train Dreams

1257
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite, and Ethan Hawk was great

1258
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: in Blue Moon. But three movies I'm gonna guess most

1259
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: people didn't do. I think, let alone go see in

1260
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the theater because I could go see that movie, or

1261
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: I could watch Paradise, or I could stream this new show,

1262
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: or there's so much much out there that the just

1263
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: the the overall level of interest has gone down. But

1264
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: the lack of of of of competition and feeling that

1265
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: we have to compete for the oscars now like this

1266
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: generation is not picked that up because it's it's not

1267
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: about that anymore.

1268
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 3: That's not why their numbers are going to suck. If

1269
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 3: they were on every channel, their numbers would be the same.

1270
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 3: What do you mean, well, no, over because overall just

1271
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 3: the oscars. If people don't like the oscars, people don't

1272
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 3: like the oscars, they're not going to tune in just

1273
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 3: because it's the only thing.

1274
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think. I think if I think,

1275
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: if you add you had last night there was no

1276
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, more people the same. I think a

1277
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: little few, but not a lot. I'm not saying a lot.

1278
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: They're they're losing a little bit of the audience every year,

1279
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: well because the quality is down. And well, it's it's

1280
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: not just the quality, because they're still making move they're

1281
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: still making those people you have to tune into well

1282
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: because they're also doing different things. They're also on they're

1283
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: also on streaming shows now, Like I want to see

1284
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, I'll go watch that movie

1285
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: that was really good, uh with them when they were

1286
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: the Cops and and Florida Town. That was pretty good. Yeah,

1287
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: Johanna Taylor was in that. And it's just overall, it's

1288
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: it's it's this generation needs to pick up the torch

1289
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 1: for Oscars to stay as competitive and what it was.

1290
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: And you go back Oscars in the past where guys

1291
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,439
Speaker 1: would look really pissed because they didn't win, and that's

1292
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: that era is just not there anymore playing my generation. No,

1293
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I just mean the I just mean the for gen z,

1294
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: the the overall I know, the overall desire of competition,

1295
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: of winning and losing at the Oscars is not It's

1296
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: more of an appreciation of the art and its appreciation

1297
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: of what we can do, an appreciation for other people's careers,

1298
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: like Ryan Coopler saying, hey, listen, yeah, I don't want

1299
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: to vote because I don't want to. I don't want

1300
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: to judge somebody's art. Like I get that, But that

1301
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: was never part of what it was, you know, up

1302
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: until here's a new generation of talent coming in and

1303
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: they're always going to put their new spin on a

1304
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: on an industry, and they're putting the new spin on

1305
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the Oscars now,
