Speaker 1: possible in part by our friends at tire Rack. For

Speaker 1: over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers find

Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot

25
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: com the way tire buying should be. So I made

26
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: a last minute editorial decision. It's gonna start with some

27
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: baseball stuff, but I'll push that back, push it back

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: now till later. And there are some reasons for that.

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later, but I'll begin I love

30
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: you that is not one of the reasons, but we

31
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: will begin with GQ. When you think overnight talk radio,

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: you think GQ magazine. So yeah, well we go where

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: the stories are and a couple of times a year,

34
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: a couple of times a year, GQ magazine a feature

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: and athlete and they they have to put something little

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: spicy in there. You gotta put something spicy because who

37
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the hell reads GQ magazine? Who reads magazines at all anymore?

38
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: It's basically a website, So they have to throw something

39
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: in there. And Travis Kelcey took center stage. When you

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: think GQ, you think Travis Kelcey. Well, there's a guy

41
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: that's done on one to eighty in his left. So

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: if you didn't see this, then maybe not. In a

43
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: cover story for GQ, Travis Kelsey has spilled his guts, yes,

44
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: all about his career, that little singing girl that he's

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: dating and all that. Now, Kelsey was brutally honest allegedly

46
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: these things. But the quotes are there. So Travis Kelcey

47
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: about the dimp? Can you do the dimp? How low

48
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: can you go? How low can you go? The production

49
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. If you've not been paying attention to

50
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, Travis Kelcey has been going down, down, down, down, down, down, down,

51
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: down down, and the rock bottom was a wretched puke

52
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: can your mouth performance in the Super Bowl where it

53
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: looked like he had been partying all week on Bourbon

54
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Street and had nothing, nothing for the game. It was

55
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: one of the great embarrassing moments in Super Bowl history,

56
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: the no show by Travis Kelcey against the Philadelphia Eagles,

57
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: who man handled him, pushed him around. But that's just

58
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: a small sliver of what has been going on. Kelsey's

59
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: production has been lacking the last couple of years, and

60
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: he has revealed the reason behind the slip, slip, slip,

61
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: and fall in production, his lack of performance the decline

62
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. He said, quote, I think it might

63
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: have slipped a little bit, because, by the way, a

64
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: little bit, how about a lot? I says it might

65
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: have slipped a little bit this quote. I did have

66
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more focus, Kelsey said, on trying to

67
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: set myself up, and opportunities came up where I was excited,

68
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey said, to venture into a new world of acting

69
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: and being an entertainer. Kelsey said. He went on to say,

70
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't say this as I shouldn't have done it,

71
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: meaning Kelsey's proud of the fact that he's hurt the

72
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: job that he had in Kansas City. Team let the

73
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: team down. Kelsey's not upset that he did that at all.

74
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: He says, I don't say that this I shouldn't have

75
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: done it. I'm just saying that my work ethic is such.

76
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey said that I have so much pride in how

77
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: I do things that I never want the product to

78
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: tail off. And I feel like these past two years,

79
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: Kelsey said, I have not been to my standard close.

80
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Quote Okay, so let's discuss. That's the money quote, So

81
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: we'll discuss. We'll jump off that and talk about that

82
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: particular quote right there. So question for the esteem Panel,

83
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: which you are part of, chief star Travis Kelsey saying

84
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: his last two seasons, his last two seasons have not

85
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: been up to his standard amid his acting career, which

86
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: is going on right now. So how does that sound

87
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: to you? How does that sound to you? So I've

88
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: got green juice, Halloween, and rooster, and we're going to

89
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going

90
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: to make a delicious cookie Sunday with extra little chips

91
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: of chocolate chip cooking in there. And we've got some

92
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream. But then we'll mix in some different

93
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: toppings on top of that. Be just delicious. All right.

94
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: So A my first thought on this is nothing screams.

95
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: Nothing screams. Hey, I'm still football guy. I want you

96
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: to know I am still football guy. Then posing in

97
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, three thousand dollars pants on GQ and

98
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: wearing a wig, that's football guy. That is modern football guy.

99
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: Just ask the Bears quarterback. I don't know. Maybe Kelsey

100
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: had his nails painted on the GQ thing too, I

101
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: don't know. Now we appreciate, we do. We appreciate Travis

102
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey's honesty. We want that he's admitting the things that

103
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: we have pointed out. And of course anytime you point

104
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: this out the fanboys in Kansas City, you don't know

105
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Kelsey's fine, they're just double teaming. Yeah, okay,

106
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: Now Kelsey's admitting you're all a bunch of idiots that

107
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't working as hard. He just wasn't right. And

108
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is it's not easy being Taylor Swift's arm candy.

109
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: It's not that job is not that easy. He's now

110
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: become Kelsey America's favorite Golden Retrievers. It's just hilarious. And

111
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: so there he is right, and the last two years

112
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: el sucko for the Chiefs. It's the Hollywood Vortex, which

113
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: is undefeated. That starts out simple enough, just one acting. Hey, Travis,

114
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: it's your agent here. Can we we got a gig

115
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: for you. Can you fly out to La We want

116
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: to do this thing is yeah, just take a couple

117
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: of days. Sure, I'll do it, no problem. Next thing,

118
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're doing a game show. Then for some reason,

119
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: you're playing a waiter in an Adam Sandler movie for

120
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: no apparent reason, and so he's morphed in traps Kelsey

121
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: to the Hollywood. I guess the NFL version nothing the

122
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: NFL version of the Rock. He's just lacking some of

123
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the workouts because the Rock still works out. But apparently

124
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: Kelsey let let himself go a little bit. Now, this

125
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: is classic that Travis Kelcey admitted publicly with no shame

126
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: in his game that yeah, I lost, I have lost

127
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: a stab, But I want you to know I am

128
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: really good at a table read. I mean, I f

129
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: and kill it at a table read. I am so

130
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: freaking good. Now, certainly are there others that have gone

131
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: down that road and been able to pull it off?

132
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Like I know? This is more of a modern thing.

133
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't remember Jerry Rice with the forty nine ers

134
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: back in the day leaving the Niners to go do

135
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: a reality show and saying, hey, mister Montana, I'll be back.

136
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: I gotta do this show. I'll be back in a

137
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: couple of days. I don't remember that. Maybe it happened,

138
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: I don't know. But Kelsey's spending a lot of time

139
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: I guess doing that meathead podcast that he does, and

140
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: they're doing. Do they rehearse that? I don't know. I

141
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: don't listen to it, but I know I know he's

142
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: admitting he's not really doing the two minute drill practice

143
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: as much. So listen Kelsey, who has recently been better

144
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: doing like some kind of cameo in a Hallmark Christmas

145
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: movie about the Chiefs and rather than the Super Bowl,

146
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: of course, I want you to know you taking a

147
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: bowel movement and flushing and wiping more successful than Travis

148
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: Kelce in the most recent Super Bowl. So he's in

149
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: his mid thirties. The cliff is coming fast, it's right there.

150
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: And instead of fighting and throwing haymakers at Father Time,

151
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: he's letting the guy move in and Father Times now

152
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: doing some redecoration is what he's doing here. And he's

153
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: got the double whammy, Oh, the double whammy, the double

154
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: he he's aging, and he's spending more time trying to

155
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: perfect his podcast and procure his next Hollywood gig. Then

156
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: whether or not he needs to block or go out

157
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: and catch pas like you don't really worried much about that.

158
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: And pretty soon it will not be long. We're all

159
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: going to see Travis Kelsey show up to Chiefs practice

160
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: and he'll be wearing sunglasses maybe it's already happened. But

161
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: you know those a holes and entertainment to where sunglasses

162
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: indoors those people and they sip some kind of weird

163
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: green juice that they heard about from some shaman somewhere

164
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: and then they call everyone, babe, what's up babe? That

165
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: kind of thing right, And then Mahomes in the cartoon

166
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: bubble in my head, Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie. He's like, dude,

167
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: all I'm really into is what a Burger? What are

168
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: you doing? I just bought some what a Burgner franchise?

169
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: What the f is wrong with you? And Mahomes will

170
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: be looking around, where's my tight end? Where's my tight end?

171
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: And someone will come over from the chiefs and say, hey, Patrick,

172
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: he's right now. He's on set with some Jennifer Aniston

173
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: thing or something like that. I don't know, I don't

174
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: know what that is, but they're doing something. So this

175
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: is what happens with Hollywood Kelsey. You got Hollywood Kelsey,

176
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: and that's not my tight end anymore. He's an entertainer now,

177
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: staying in Hollywood. But turning the page from the Travis

178
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey story, we go to Hollywood Royalty. Denzel Washington, Denzel Washington,

179
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: who is not a happy camper. He's upset with the

180
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Do you see this the

181
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: legend of many uber successful films. He was on some show,

182
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Old Morning Guy I don't know the name of is

183
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smiths got some show. I don't even what

184
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: watches that anyway, It talked about the Cowboys that came

185
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: up in conversation, and Denzel Washington suggested that Jerry Jones

186
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: his handling of Micah Parsons, who hasn't signed that extension,

187
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: the situation was a disservice to the fans, disservice to

188
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboy fans. And the quote is as follows from

189
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington said, he's not thinking about us, the fans.

190
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: Jerry said, he is thinking about his pockets. It's like

191
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: there's the box office and then there's the Oscars, Denzel

192
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: Washington said, And you ain't been to the Oscars in

193
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: a minute. At the end of the day, I always

194
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: love when somebody says at the end of the day.

195
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Love that he says at the end of the day.

196
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington said, I'm still gonna wear my hat with

197
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: the star on it, he said. Now. Washington then tried

198
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: to dot the I Denzel Washington by saying all money

199
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: ain't good money, Jerry, and then he moved on to

200
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: promote some crappy movie. All right, so question, will Jerry

201
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: Jones change his cowboy ways because he has now been

202
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: publicly called out by Hollywood legend Denzel Washington. Right, so

203
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: let me start by this. I'll say this, so, unlike

204
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: your normal run of the mill, I don't know, overnight gasbag,

205
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington has gravitas obviously a little bit more than me.

206
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: A little bit more than me, uh, just a little bit.

207
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: So nevertheless, like Jerry Jones, he is not. Let me

208
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: say this from the top of the mountain, Jerry Jones

209
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: is not changing his ways, not because of Denzel Washington

210
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: or any other Hollywood blowhard. I'm telling you, Denzi Washington.

211
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: He could show up to the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving

212
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: in Jerry's world and pretend it's Halloween. He well talk

213
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: through Halloween. He can pretend it's Halloween late Halloween. He

214
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: could dress up in a gladiator outfit and have a

215
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: reading at halftime of Remember the Titans and do some

216
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: of the the lines from that and Jerry would still

217
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: be in the luxury suite counting how many commas are

218
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: on the bank statement and the revenue. You see, Jerry

219
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: Jones when you talk about movies, and Denzel was like

220
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: bragging about the oscars as opposed to the ones that

221
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: make money. But Jerry Jones has been pretty clear he's

222
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: a comic book movie guy. Those are the ones people

223
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: pay to watch. You know. He's not into the artsy

224
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: fartsy movie. Jerry wants big, big box office. He wants

225
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: a billion tickets sold worldwide and all that stuff and

226
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: care the critics say, and in the Rotten Tomatoes score

227
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: and all that. Doesn't care about that. See, you think

228
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: he's losing sleeps. He got called out by a big star,

229
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, and the Cowboys haven't won Best Picture in

230
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Comer Jerry Jones, he's the Michael Bay of

231
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: football management. A lot of explosions, a lot of spectacles,

232
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: cgi all that stuff there, and there's no real storyline

233
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the playoffs other than failure. And there's

234
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: no awards. And Jerry's just going to keep rolling out

235
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: fast and furious movies because people watch them. The Dallas Drift,

236
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it because it works and

237
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: it's a good formula. And here's the other thing. And

238
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: I need to point this out because Denzel said something

239
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: that he lost all credibility with his criticism of Jerry Jones.

240
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Did you notice what he said that he lost everything?

241
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Denzel said he still loves the Cowboys, all right, So

242
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: it's like put but in a conversation with anything before

243
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: the word butt is it's a lie. So Denzel like,

244
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: he still loves the cowboy. That's the whole point. He's

245
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: not apathetic. Now, he's not apathetic if he If he were,

246
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: then we'd be having a different conversation. But he's not.

247
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: The Oscar winner is still wearing the hat with the

248
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: star on it. That's a cowboy hat. Jerry got money

249
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: for that hat. And Denzel's like, hey, you know, he's

250
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: like the guy that sees the sequel. We all know

251
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: people like this. We all know people like this, the

252
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: guy that sees the sequel to the bad movie franchise

253
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: that made like two good movies back in the nineties.

254
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: But you're still watching hoping that they're gonna make something

255
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: good now And for the cowboys, how about him? Cowboys?

256
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: As long as the stadium is full and the TV

257
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: ratings are baffo sokka, which they seemingly always are. You know,

258
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Jerry's not and there's too old to change anyway. But

259
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: even if that were the case, he'd consider it. But

260
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: Denzel's going to keep being disappointed every late December and January.

261
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: That's how that's going to go, all right, quickly. The

262
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: last word here to the land of television the boob

263
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: tube report card out, report card out. Shedur Sanders, the

264
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: four string quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, made his exhibition

265
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: debut last week. The Brownies played the Panthers in an

266
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: exhibition game that somehow drew two point three million viewers,

267
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: had a solid rating, all the key demos, all the

268
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: key demos, big ratings. So can you put Can you

269
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: put the massive NFL exhibition TV ratings for a Browns

270
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: Titans game into context? So yes, I can put this

271
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: into context. The Browns and Panthers are bad at football.

272
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: They suck. They combined last year to win eight games

273
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: between them. Eight. That's it. They went between both. You

274
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: can mind both, they were eight and twenty six last year.

275
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: There's no star power, there's no juice. They don't have

276
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: big name coaches, they don't have star players, they have

277
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: none of the things that you would normally associate with

278
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: drawing a big audience, and yet they got more people

279
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: to watch that game then the highest rated MLB regular

280
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: season game, as I understand it, the highest rated regular

281
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: season baseball game this year, Yankees and Dodgers. Yankees and Dodgers,

282
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: like two point two million. Two point two million, I

283
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: believe was the rating on that. And so that's where

284
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: we are. A exhibition game between two dog food NFL

285
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: teams gets better ratings and than the Dodge and the Yankees.

286
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: And so that's why the NFL schmucks. The executives there

287
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: at the NFL, they run around like the banti rooster

288
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: and they've they've got their chest out and they're just

289
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: chest pumped out and all that stuff, and they've got

290
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: they know they can serve an inferior product. It's like

291
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: a restaurant and saying, I'm we're going to serve food

292
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: that has had maggots on it, and people are gonna

293
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: buy it and they're gonna pay full price for it.

294
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: And it's just the way it is. And we know

295
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: that no matter what we serve we're good.

296
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,920

300
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: I'm the producer of the Paula and Toni Fusco Show.

301
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 3: Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to

302
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen

303
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who

304
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 3: have the dumbest takes on sports magical. Don't listen to

305
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: the show so it can get camp.

Speaker 1: microphones of fsre ammating live from the whistle as we

Speaker 1: play through the whistle from the Fox Sports Radio studios,

318
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: as approved by horn Dog, who occasionally calls the show.

319
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: Pretty much hides now I don't really call much anymore,

320
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: but it used to be a caller, a guy named

321
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: corn Dog. And by the way, it is time is it?

Speaker 1: so or lead. This hour is from baseball. We will

327
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: address in the B block the B for bad B

328
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: for bad Dodgers on the field. But another day, another scandal. Now,

329
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: this story blew up. We had mentioned this in a

330
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: previous episode of the show, and it took a life

331
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: of its own in the hours since we talked about it,

332
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: and we just tossed it out here. It is. It's

333
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: like a boomerang. It's come back again. So if you

334
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: don't know where I'm going with this, Shohei Otani and

335
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: his agent Nez battle Loo, probably butchering the name, but

336
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: he has been sued. The agent and Otani, they've both

337
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: been sued. That's what you need to know about this.

338
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: And essentially the argument is that they screwed over a

339
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: big real estate company, couple of big muckety MUCKs in

340
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: the real estate world in Hawaii, costing these people hundreds

341
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. The lawsuit filed in the Circuit

342
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Court of Hawaii where everyone wears Hawaiian shirts. This happened

343
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: actually last week, but the story just came out in

344
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, and as we've said, it's

345
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: bounced all over the echo chamber here. It's kind of

346
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: a big deal. In the actual legal documents, the plaintiffs

347
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: claim that Otani and his agent are saboteurs. They sabotaged

348
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: a two hundred and forty million dollar real estate venture,

349
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: and they had all entered into this and ix nay

350
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: on the according to the lawsuit, and they're pointing the

351
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: finger at the Dodger Star who was supposed to endorse

352
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: and promote this real estate project, which was actually located

353
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: on the Big Island. That's the one that not many

354
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: people go to. The Big Island. The sinse deleted website,

355
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: which at one point was boomint Booming for the project,

356
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: said that Otani would buy a home in this part

357
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: of Hawaii and the Big Island and act as a

358
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: quote celebrity spokesperson and build a baseball workout facilities on

359
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: the Big Island, clearly trying to get some of that

360
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: money from Japan to invest in the Big Island of Hawaii.

361
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a business mogul to know

362
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: what this is all about. So let us discuss the question.

363
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: You take a couple of steps back and you look

364
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: at what has happened with Otani the last couple of

365
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: years as he's joined the Dodgers, and you have to

366
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: ask question with the latest legal issue, is shoh Otani

367
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: clueless or is he ruthless? All right, those are the

368
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: only options. Clueless is over here and ruthless is over here,

369
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: So which one is it? So my observations, I've got

370
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: teflon construction site and Donkey Kong, and we will combine

371
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to

372
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: give you billable hours, which Otani is spending a lot

373
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: of money on billable hours. So number why said number?

374
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: Why?

375
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: Number? So, assuming the position it's either or one or

376
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: the other. The only two options are Otani is clueless

377
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: or he's ruthless. Those are the only options. This is

378
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: like that old aloha means hello and goodbye thing, except

379
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: this version of aloha means good Buy to your money

380
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: by by aloha to your money. And imagine if you will,

381
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,479
Speaker 1: buying this group that had all this land, this ocean

382
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: front property in the big Island there and then finding

383
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: out that there was a surprise lava flow. Now, this

384
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: lava flow was not from an actual volcano on the

385
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: Big Island. It was from sho Heotani and all that.

386
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: So it kind of sounds like that's what's happening. But

387
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: the answer the question, the arrow on this one is

388
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: pointing towards Otani as ruthless. Right, There's a lot going on,

389
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: like we are not getting the full story here. There's

390
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are writing the coattails of Shohotani.

391
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: We're not getting what's really going on. There's a lot

392
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: of people that are toe liquors as I like to

393
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: call them, that are the beneficiaries of the star power

394
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: of Otani. I'm just on the sidelines. I'm just observing

395
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: what's been going on the last couple of years. Just

396
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: looking at what's been going on, this is another star

397
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: that's got a lot of stuff going on. There's a

398
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: lot of issues here and it's always been that way.

399
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: Like Michael Jordan was addicted to gambling. There were some

400
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: legendary stories that came out after Jordan played for the

401
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls about some of his dalliances with the ladies.

402
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth was a legendary womanizer with the Yankees. Barry

403
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: Bonds was a complete douche and also like the Peds,

404
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: he blew himself up. Looked like a parade in the

405
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. There Thanksgiving Parade with Macy's, and

406
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: they all played, and they had their careers and all that.

407
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: But everyone's got some dirt on them. Everyone's got some

408
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: dirt on them. And I also believe everyone's got multiple personality.

409
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: No one's Mother Teresa all the time, and no one's

410
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: the devil all the time. Right, you're somewhere in the

411
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: middle and the guy that you see hitting bombs and

412
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: he hit another home run. Dodgers suck. So they lost

413
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: to the pathetic Angels again. How embarrassing These guys don't

414
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: even care. More on that in a minute, but it

415
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: was about all TIMI. So he had a home run

416
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: late dodge. Of course, Bullpen came in and vomited all

417
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 1: over the mound and gave the game to the Angels

418
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: and extra innings. So Otani hits a home run, and

419
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: you think he's reading the fine print. So the argument

420
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: is gonna be, well, Tani's a big star and his

421
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: agent took care of this, and you think he's reading

422
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: real estate contracts on Hawaiian real estate. Come on, you

423
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: think he's sitting there reading the zoning laws for the

424
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: big island of Hawaii. Of course not please, right, So

425
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: then they'll argue he's just clueless. He's just a dumb

426
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: dumb is what they're going to say. But you combine

427
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: everything together and you see patternicity. You see the lawsuit

428
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: that took place, and you can sue anyone for anything.

429
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: There's also a gambling scandal that was taking place while

430
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: he was with the Angels, and there's a buddy of

431
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: his that's in jail for a few years there who

432
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: took the hit on that, and so Otani is looking

433
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: like the Teflon don in all this, and The bigger point,

434
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: and the point I'm trying to get at, is he

435
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: is so massive in that industry. He's too big to fail.

436
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: That Otani is the single most important player in Major

437
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: League Baseball in at least fifty years, likely a lot

438
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: longer than that. And you're not letting a real estate

439
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: deal doing Otani. You're not letting a gambling scandal. I

440
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: don't care if he's betting seventeen parlays in the dugout.

441
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: They're not gonna have Otani go down for that. And

442
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: so this will end up, as I look into my

443
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: crystal ball, it will end up as a misunderstanding. It's

444
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: a misunderstanding. There'll be some kind of charity donation, and

445
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: you'll see some commercials on Major League Baseball broadcast. They'll

446
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: call him a show hey or a loja show a,

447
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: and that they'll do that whole thing. I learned one

448
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: of my professors years ago. There was a professor named

449
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: Chris Carter. He may or may not have played for

450
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, and he taught me. Chris Carter taught me,

451
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: you gotta have a fall guy, gotta have a fall guy.

452
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: So guess what the fall guy originally was Otani's personal assistant,

453
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: but he's translator guy. But he's in jail so she

454
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: can't use him again. So let's see who's the fall

455
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: guy gonna be. Let's do some inventory. Well, look around,

456
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: who's the fall guy? And let's see reveal answers, reveal answers.

457
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: The fall guy here is going to be anyone other

458
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: than Otani, anyone and everyone other than Otani. So will

459
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: anything come of this? I think I've made my point.

460
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't need to flog the dead horse here. Not

461
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: a damn thing will come out of this. Otani will

462
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: just smile and nod his head and and go out

463
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: and hit fifty home runs. He's got forty three home

464
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: runs now, so it hit fifty, and the lawsuit will

465
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: go abra cadabra and will vanish like a Mike tie

466
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: at a traditional Hawaiian luau. Just gone see you later,

467
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: all right now, staying with the Dodgers, and we're gonna

468
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: get to the play on the field the minute. I

469
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: saw some other comments here that got my attention in

470
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: recent days, and I wanted to bring them up. The

471
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers have a shortstop, not a good one. You want

472
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: a two forty shortstop that sucks. Mookie Bets is your guy.

473
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: So Moogie Bets, who's been an abject failure for the

474
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodger, But in the LA media they won't

475
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: call him out on that. Guys like David Vasse will

476
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: kiss his ass. So Mookie Bets very disappointing here in

477
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and he said of this season, he

478
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: was concerned about the Hall of Fame. He said, once

479
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: again in the Hall of Fame one day and this

480
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: will be a blemish on his Hall of Fame resume.

481
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: That was one of the quotes that Mookie Bets had recently.

482
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: How does that one hit you?

483
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: All?

484
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,239
Speaker 2: Right?

485
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: So, Moki spoiler alert. If you're talking about the Hall

486
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: of Fame right now, you have another gazillion years on

487
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: your Dodger contract, right and it's like you're you're already

488
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: shopping for a retirement condo in Boca and you still

489
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: got a job to do. Like the Hall of Fame

490
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: is last I heard Lifetime Achievement award. And that's for

491
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: when you're sipping lemonade in the rocking chair and you're

492
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: sixty five years old and you're telling your grandkids back

493
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: in my day, I went six for six at Coors

494
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: for you one day. That's what you do. Right now,

495
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: you are in the middle of the Big Blue Marathon,

496
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: and you are one of the central reasons your team sucks.

497
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: Mookie bets congratulations and your worrying about the ribbon. You're

498
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: running the marathon and you're just beginning the marathon and

499
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: you're worried about the finish line ribbon. I wonder what

500
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: color it is. Spoiler alert. You still have thirteen point

501
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: one miles to go. You're halfway home, and let's I check.

502
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: Baseball's not social media. Nobody really cares if you look

503
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: good in the snapshot. They don't. And it's think of

504
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: it like a construction site, right You build your legacy

505
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: brick by brick, right, break by brick, day by day,

506
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: inning by inning, and you can also tear apart your

507
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: legacy at the same time. So you're out there, Mookie,

508
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: you're stressing because you're on the construction site. You're worried

509
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: about the blueprints while the cement truck hasn't even parked yet.

510
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: Your priorities are a little off on this, and you know,

511
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: it's like you're acting like a pilot flying around and

512
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: the concern is, well, the in flight movie he's not

513
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: started playing it's supposed to play, but yet you're in

514
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: the cockpit and the plane is losing altitude. That's what's

515
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: going on. The Dodger plane is losing altitude right now,

516
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: and you're worried about what the in flight movie is

517
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: and when it's gonna be played during the flight, and

518
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: so betts By any way, you slice it is terrible. Listen.

519
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be terrible forever? No? Right, I'm doing

520
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: a show right now. Today. He sucks. He's horrible, right,

521
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: worst season of his career going back to his days

522
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: in Boston and the lowest ops of his career. He's

523
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: a two forty hitting shortstop who will often make mistakes

524
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: on routine plays, and one hundred points lower than his

525
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: previous career low. So that's not even just a little

526
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: bit worse. That's like, that's like falling into the Grand Canyon.

527
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: Is how bad that is? And you've got to grind

528
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: through the bad years like that. Everyone's gonna bed be

529
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: great and you're judged on the Hall of Fame by

530
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: your whole career and you don't worry about it. And

531
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: Willie Mays had bad years, and Ricky Henderson had some

532
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: very mid years, and they still got their little plaque

533
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: and Sleepy Cooper'stown. They got that going for them. And

534
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: you're worried about like a smudge, Mookie Batcher. You're like,

535
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: why I go a little smudge in my suit here?

536
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: And you're not even at the banquet, like you're not

537
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: even there yet, So who cares?

538
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: All? Right?

539
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: Now? Final point? We go to New York City, the

540
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: Big Apple. A lot of chattering baseball because Pete Alonso,

541
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: the Polar Bear, ended up breaking the New York Metropolitans

542
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: franchise home run record as he said, see a later

543
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: straw and zoom past Darryl Strawberry with career home run

544
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: number two fifty three. So Peter Alonzo has passed Darryl

545
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: strawberry by in the Mets record book. However, has Pete

546
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: Alonzo also passed Darryl straw By in the hearts minds

547
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: of the Mets Fan. So I'm gonna answer this like

548
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm playing Wheel of Fortune. I'm gonna answer this like

549
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: I'm playing Wheel of Fortune. So I'd like an N

550
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: and can I buy a vowel? I would like to

551
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: buy an Oh so I want an N. I want

552
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: to buy a vowel. I'd like to have an O

553
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: and sparler alert put those together, slap those together. And

554
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: that's what's that spell No, that spells It spells no.

555
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: That's what it's about. No is what it's most So

556
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo is the Mets masher, the monster Mets masher.

557
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: Right now, He's at the top of the record book.

558
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: And isn't that special? Isn't that cute? That's adorable, Pee Alonzo,

559
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: mister home run derby guy, Pete Alonzo. However, however, you

560
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: do a side by side compission, you're talking about Darryl Strawberry.

561
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: Darryl Strawberry was not a great postseason player. He hit

562
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: one of the big home runs for the Mets, if

563
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: you remember, if you're old enough or you went back

564
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: and watch the six playoffs. But this is not a

565
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: moment where you're passing the torch. This is not Strawberry

566
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: symbolically passing the mantle to Peter Alonzo. It's just not.

567
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: And it's like saying, well, broccoli is going to replace

568
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: donuts as a food that sells at the county Fair.

569
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: We're going to sell more broccoli this year than donuts.

570
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: Broccoli will be more popular. Well, no, obviously not. They're

571
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: not even the same food group for people to go

572
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: to the fair. And Peter Alonzo's broccoli obviously, and strawberry

573
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: is a nice donut. And Daryl was not just a

574
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: guy hitting those home runs back you know, a million

575
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: years ago. Forty I can't believe that forty years almost

576
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: has been. But he will even just hitting the home run.

577
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: Think about Strawberry, and I'm not he sucked it with

578
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It was embarrassing. He was doing more coke

579
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: than hitting the baseball when he was with the Dodger.

580
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: But he was the straw Daryl Strawberry that stirred the

581
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: big apple cocktail. I mean, he was it. And you

582
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: know he did everything, hit home runs, he'd throw guys out,

583
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: He you know, snorted cocaine off the hookers, took us

584
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing playing for those eighty eighty nineteen eighties Mets.

585
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: And uh, smooth swing. I just smooth, elegant watching Strawberry

586
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: swing the bat and brought the drama tablet. Him and

587
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: Dwight Gooden, we're always in the tableaus back before social media.

588
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: So and it's just the eighty six Mets. They were parabolic,

589
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: the eighty six Mets here and you think about wild

590
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: Bill Hitcock with the bat in his hands, a mythical

591
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: character there and a poker chip on the other hand.

592
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: And you got Darryl Strawberry. He was like Donkey Kong

593
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: launching barrels for the for the Mets, and he got

594
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: the lines. And listen, Pete Scott as many home runs

595
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: as Strawberry. You know, he's a home run king for

596
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: the Mets right now and all that stuff. I just

597
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: look at him, like a lot of empty calories? Is

598
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: that fair? I think that's fair. There's a lot of

599
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: empty calories with Pee Alonzo hitting home runs and he's

600
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: like eating a big supersized box of twinkies. Like, all right,

601
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: you ate the twinkies. That's good. They taste good. You're

602
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good at the moment you're eating them. And

603
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: then when you take some time and they settle into

604
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: your stomach and you're sitting there and you're wondering, man,

605
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: what did I eat? What did I do? Like? What

606
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: is that The Mets have not reached the peak of

607
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: the mountains since nineteen eighty six. The last that eighty sixteen,

608
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: the last time they won. Pee Alonzo was born in

609
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, eight years after they had their last

610
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: championship as the Mets. And is he a talented guy? Yes,

611
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: of course, pet A Lonzo is a talented player. And

612
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: it's cool that he did a lot of the home

613
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: run derby's and all that stuff where a lot of

614
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: these other a lot of these other Dingleberries would not

615
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: do it because they're a hooses and Alonzo would be

616
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: in it, and that's great. And he hits some home

617
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: runs in the playoffs. Sure, does he light up the

618
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: room in the playoffs? Does he have the fear factor

619
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: ped A lions on the plaf No, not really. It's

620
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: more like a lava lamp which does light up. There's

621
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of glow there. Yeah, nothing nothing magical.

622
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: And so Strawberry the point of all this, he's still

623
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: the king and still the guy that is in Mets,

624
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: the mythological part of the Mets. You know, he's the

625
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: guy that rides in on the white horse, Daryl Strawberry

626
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: and Pete Alonzo's kind of the guy that shows up

627
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: to the Mets barbecue. The franchise barbecue. You got strawberry

628
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: and a white horse. And then Alonzo comes in there

629
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: and he's got a paper bag and he's got a

630
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 1: metal tin of potato salad, and he says, hey, guys,

631
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: I brought the potato salad. You know who wants potato salad?

632
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: Nobody likes potatoes. I remember it. Anyone likes potato sounds disgusting.

636
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: To their gets grilled? All right?

637
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: Cool Bolo.

638
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 4: The Athletic has released their latest quarterback rankings, compiled from

639
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 4: a panel of GM's coaches and other executives. They have

640
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 4: Brock Perty at number fourteen. Now, some are looking at

641
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: that as a snub. Do you think that's about right

642
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 4: for Party?

643
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: I would say it's too high for brock Party. He

644
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: does not have pinpoint accuracy, he does not have great mobility.

645
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 3: Uh.

646
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: Those things are put together based on your skill set,

647
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: and he doesn't elevate his teammates. It's the other way around.

648
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: So I think that's very generous to have him a

649
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: system quarterback that high. I think that's a little much.

650
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: Actually it's too high.

651
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 4: Next, for the first time in the school's history, Texas

652
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 4: is the AP preseason number one. Do you think they

653
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 4: are deserving of the ranking or is this just arch

654
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 4: Manning hype? Well, it's the whole preseason ranking thing is dumb.

655
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 4: It's you know, it's all about I know, do it

656
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 4: for TV, the razzle dazzle.

657
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything, and Texas has had a lot of hype,

658
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: and arch Manning is very important to the business of

659
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: college football, so that's why they did it. Next, Kyle

660
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: Schwarber continues to light it up for the Phillies.

661
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 4: Now twenty games over five hundred, they're ahead of the

662
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: Mats in the NALY is a comfortable lead. Ben, Do

663
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 4: you think Swarburn has any chance of challenging Otani for

664
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 4: the MVP?

665
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: No, he's He's a better offensive player this year than Otani.

666
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: He's second in home runs in RBIs. But no, Otani's

667
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: because of the pitching stuff. He's gonna win. How do

668
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: we do? What do we do? That's a pass? I won,

669
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:32,920

721
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: to test a couch at the furniture store to make

722
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: sure there's enough room to maneuver on said couch?

723
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 5: Yes, and you should try all the positions. You should

724
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 5: lay upside down, you should lay over the edge, make.

725
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: Twister do like, yeah, here's the thing.

726
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 5: Because that the couch is not going to work for you.

727
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 5: And honestly, oh my gosh, you could get one of

728
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 5: those like let's say the couch is a little flat, right,

729
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 5: you could get one of those body shape position things.

730
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 5: They come in like triangle shades.

731
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,279

738
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:51,879

739
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: I forget about it. In my my wife finds that

740

00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: Draw a new one? Has she destroyed the picture?

748
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 2: It was the original.

749
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: I worked on it for about twenty minutes.
