Let's discuss 78 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: That's a good jumping off point. We'll talk about what 79 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts said there and the crowd went wild. So question, 80 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: what did you take away from the chatter that Dave 81 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: Roberts you threw it out there?

It was that was 90 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: that kind of SUPESTI I love that Roberts worked in 91 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: a humble brag. Also, we talked last hour about Jerry 92 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: Jones humble bragging. 93 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: Well. 94 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts say, oh, I was on the phone with 95 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: pat Riley. 96 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: Of course. 97 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: The funny thing about that is Riley's so old at 98 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: this point, the younger generations don't even know who pat 99 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Riley is, right, I don't know who that is. I 100 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: wasn't around for the showtime late because that's a boomer. 101 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: You're friends with a boomer, Dave Roberts, what's wrong with you? 102 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: But the whole theme was that we are gods. We 103 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: are the gods of baseball, And it was like the 104 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: full Gladiator. You know that famous scene from Gladiator? Are 105 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Yeah, it was 106 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: that kind of it. So the whole freepeat thing, like 107 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: what are you supposed to say? Like these things are 108 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: always corny and over the top anytime a team wins 109 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: a championship, Like, what are you seriously supposed to say? 110 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Dave Roberts had come out and saying, 111 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: let me tell you, boys, we've won enough championship. My 112 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: belly is full. I am bloated from all the blingling, bloated, bloated, blooded, bloated, blooded, blooded, blurted, bloated, bloated. 113 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: All right, my belly is so frickin' full I can't 114 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: even anymore. Uh no, you can't say that, right, Imagine, 115 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: Oh I ate so much? Which alphabet pasta all those ws? Www, 116 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: I got no room left, no room left, can't win. 117 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: We're good now, We're satisfied. Can't do it, can't say it. 118 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: You can never be satisfied. So the whole idea that 119 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: you enjoy the moment and just live in the moment. 120 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: None of those guys were living in the moment, they 121 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: were already planning for next year. So it's okay, shouldn't 122 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: you just embrace that particular day and just celebrate that 123 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: day and then you worry about next year at a 124 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: later point. But no, the champagne had not even dried 125 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: on the carpet there in Toronto, and they're already campaigning 126 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: and planning their parade route or root for next year. 127 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: And the Dodgers have turned this in. It's like the 128 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals the way they're playing here, 129 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: and they've got the payroll receipts, the billion dollar Boys 130 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: Club and all that stuff. Then you had we mentioned 131 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: Shoi Otani who gave the crowd his I'm ready for 132 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: another ring line from Otani? That was his quote there. 133 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: He said it in English, mind you, he said it 134 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: in English, and the fans of course lost their mind 135 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: to the fireworks. There was then the choreographed moment with 136 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts needing to bring in the other trophy. So 137 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: who did he call ice cube? He brought in not 138 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: an actual ice cube, ice cube? The you know the 139 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: old guy, Yeah, the rapper, Yeah, I guy, Uh, not 140 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: really a rapper anymore. He's like a businessman. Anyway. I 141 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: ice Cube brought in in a muscle car the Dodger 142 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: World Series trophy from centerfield, not played at all, very 143 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: organic moment just happened. It was very odd that ice 144 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: Cube just happened to be in his car with the 145 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: World Series trophy in center field the moment Dave Roberts 146 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: needed the trophy. What are the odds? Like ice Cube 147 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: was just bored. He was driving around Dodger Stadium and 148 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: he just happened to be stopped out in center field 149 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. And at that moment he must have 150 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: known that Dave Roberts needed the trophy, so say, okay, 151 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: I'll drive it in, no problem. And then security they 152 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: opened the gate and they allowed ice Cube, in a 153 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: totally organic, not scripted mullet at all, to drive it in. 154 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Simply amazing. The fireworks went off. The muscle car came 155 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: in there and there it was no it's Dodger fan porn, 156 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: That's what it was. All of it, total fan porn, porn, porn, 157 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: porn porn porn, that's what it was. The speeches, everything choreographed, 158 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: all that stuff. We're a Dynasty Baby by Keith k Hernandez. 159 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: He's right by the way, they are dynasty, and it's 160 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: this is you know what this is for the Dodgers. 161 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: It is the Gilded Age. It is the Gilded Age 162 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. At some point this ownership group's gonna 163 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: sell the team. Once they have to pay a tani 164 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars a year not to play baseball whatever 165 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: it is, they'll they'll sell the team and some other 166 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: dope will come in and talk about, well, we need 167 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: to reset the franchise and we're gonna build through the 168 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: minor league system and the team will suck. But until 169 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: that happens, it is the Gilded Age for the Dodgers. 170 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: Everyone's co everyone's pampered and spoiled. Who plays for the 171 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: Dodgers there from their toilets that shoot, you took us 172 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: with water to the two jumbo jet planes and all 173 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: that stuff. And you watch what's going on right now 174 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: and how loaded the roster is, and they're going to 175 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: annoy everyone and sign somebody else in free agency. Again, 176 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: that's what they do. The Dodgers are so good they 177 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: signed two of the worst players in baseball, Michael Conforto 178 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: and he was one of them, and Tanner Scott the 179 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: other and still ended up winning the World Series. Still 180 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: ended up winning the World Series there, and you know, 181 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: they had the line the greatest fans in the world, 182 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and so you had to say that line, right, 183 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: That was Miguel Rojas. I believe that was his line. 184 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: I think he said that, and he praised his teammate. 185 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: It's not all about me, that whole thing. So he 186 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: had those and even the interpreters, as mentioned, these guys 187 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: might be out of work here because once you've exposed 188 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: the fact that you speak English, does it become a 189 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: problem now because those interpreters probably make ninety thousand dollars 190 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: a year to travel around with these guys. And you 191 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: had both Yamamoto and shohel Tani who went full English 192 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: at the event, both of them. So there you go. 193 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: They're they're so dominant, they're now bilingual. So congratulations on that, 194 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: and that's how the empire rolls on. In Dodger Blue, 195 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: it was a coronation situation and a reminder the Dodgers 196 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: have become a modern If they were a rock band, 197 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: they'd be like the Beatles back in the day at 198 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: this point. Now the rest of major League Baseball, if 199 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: you look around the landscape of major League Baseball, they're 200 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: just like an opening act, hoping, hoping, beyond hope. Here 201 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: to grab a souvenir on the way out. Yeah, that 202 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Now turning the page, but not turning 203 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: the page too far. Page two, TV Land. We go 204 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: to TV Land, you and I and the question, what 205 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: do the twenty twenty five World Series ratings, which were 206 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: very good, very good involving the Dodgers in Blue Jays 207 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: tell us? So the ratings came out, and turns out, 208 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: despite having a Canadian team in which supposedly is gonna 209 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: be a Debbie downer and the ratings wouldn't be that 210 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: good and no one's gonna watch, And well, turned out 211 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: that just wasn't true. People watched, and apparently the Dodgers. 212 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: Of what I took away from the TV ratings is 213 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: apparently the Dodgers are not ruining baseball after all. Shocking 214 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: talk about a narrative buster. The Dodgers are killing baseball, 215 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: said the guy on social media that calls sports talk 216 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: radio and all that stuff. Twenty if I read this right, 217 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: twenty six million people. Twenty six million people tuned into 218 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: Game seven of the World Cities. Now that's not just good, 219 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: that's massive in modern television. Back in the old days 220 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: they got bigger ratings. But in modern with the cannibalism 221 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: of entertainment, wherever things chopped up into little bite sized pieces, 222 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: you get twenty six million people to watch baseball games. 223 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: Pretty good, most watched World Series game since twenty seventeen. 224 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: You might remember that one. The Dodgers were in that 225 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: World Series against the cheating Astros. Yeah, bang bang on 226 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the trash can cheat a cheata cheeta cheata cheetah cheeta. Meanwhile, 227 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: social media, you guys on social media told me. You said, listen, 228 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: everyone and their mother hate the billionaire boys club, that is, 229 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Cannot stand the Dodgers. They're bad for baseball. 230 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: You're running the Sparta Baseball, the Dodgers, you're running it. 231 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: I thought Sho Hail Tani and Mookie Betts were supposed 232 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: to make you tune out. You told me that. That's 233 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: what you told me. You told me that people were 234 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: not gonna watch because of the Dodger payroll. Turns out 235 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: America still loves watching the rich kids were they tuned 236 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: in to watch the Dodgers lose. It doesn't matter. They 237 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: watched twenty six million men, women and children tuned in 238 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: to watch the World Series. And that is not a 239 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: niche sport. That is an event. That is a massive event. 240 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: And up in Canada, the numbers from the people that Rogers, 241 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: they pulled record ratings the channel that carried the World 242 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Series in Canada, and they estimate that nearly half of 243 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: all Canadians, almost fifty percent of all Canadians that have 244 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: access to television, watched at least part of Game seven 245 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: of the World Series. Deep pritt deep, pretty dee good. 246 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: Half the fricking country was watching. H So so much 247 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers are bad for baseball narrative, Oh it's 248 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: so bad. The social media echo chamber. A reminder for 249 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: those of you in the back of the room, the 250 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: social media echo chamber is not real. It just isn't. 251 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: X thinks everyone's boycotting these big market teams like the 252 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: Dodgers and all this stuff, and there you go. It 253 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: turns out not the case. In fact, the Dodgers are 254 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: actually good for baseball as the bad guys, as the villain. 255 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: And if you study entertainment, if you study professional wrestling, 256 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: or just any kind of movie storyline, you look at 257 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: the storyboard. You have the good guy and the bad guy, 258 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: and you gotta have it. And the Dodgers have star power. 259 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: Check that box. They've got that big market, a lot 260 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: of drama. You had some drama there, and so reports 261 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: of Baseball's to mice have been greatly exaggerated. That's what 262 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say that who knew, who knew the ratings? 263 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: The villains, the Dodgers, the big blue bad guys. They 264 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: got flash and they got the finish and all that stuff. 265 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: So the Dodgers delivered a little bit of this, a 266 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: little bit of that, and all work together. And Baseball's problem, 267 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: it turns out, is not the Dodgers. It's not the Dodgers. 268 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: It's the twenty other teams pretending to be on a budget. 269 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: That's a problem. That's a big problem. Dodgers are keeping 270 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: the lights on and they're actually the good guys here, 271 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: which is very odd considering everyone told me they're not 272 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: all right now. Final point, speaking of that, we'll use 273 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: that as a jumping off point for our next next 274 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: conversation point. So there is this chatter. I mentioned this 275 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: in a previous episode of the show. And there's a 276 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: lot of chatter that we're gonna have a nuclear winter 277 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: in baseball. There's gonna be a workstopage, either be a 278 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: lockout or a strike, and there's not gonna be baseball played. 279 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: There can be a long long time. They're gonna reset 280 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: all the rules in baseball. This has been the art 281 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: and the marching in showder Society demanding a salary cap 282 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: has been outspoken. Right, they've been banging the drum, bang bang, 283 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: bang in the drum yet again. And the argument is 284 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: that all we need is not just a salary cap. 285 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: We need a salary floor to encourage the teams that 286 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: don't spend a lot of money to spend more money, 287 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: and that will be the magic placebo that will fix 288 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: every thing in the sport of baseball. You might have 289 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: heard about that. Have you heard about that. I've heard 290 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: about that. I've heard about that. I've heard about this 291 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: for years. They've said this disparity in baseball, the Dodgers 292 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: spending too much, they spend too much, in the A's 293 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: don't spend any money, and we need to have more 294 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: balanced than all that. So the question on this one 295 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: would a salary cap and a salary floor motivate? In 296 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: this case the salary cap floor, would it motivate the 297 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: penny pinching major League Baseball franchises to spend more, thus 298 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: fixing the disparity in payroll between the top five or 299 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: six teams and everyone else in baseball. So this is 300 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: one of those ideas. There's a lot of this in life. 301 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: As you get older, you realize there's things in life 302 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: that sound like a good idea, and it makes for 303 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: a good post on social media and you get a 304 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: lot of way to go, way to go, and then 305 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: it falls apart in the real world. It's like there's 306 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people these days that think they should 307 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: get everything free, not realizing that someone has to pay 308 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: for it. 309 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 2: Right. 310 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: These are called dumb people. They don't understand there's nothing free. 311 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: Ultimately someone's paying for it, right, Like our friends in 312 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: New York are probably gonna find out about that soon 313 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: that someone's going to be paying for it. But nonetheless, 314 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: you think the Pirates, the A's, the Marlins, and the 315 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins are suddenly going to grow a conscience and 316 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: start chasing penance because there's a salary cap floor. Are 317 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: you that gullible? Give me a break, seriously, are you 318 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: that dumb? Yeah, but you're in for a surprise if 319 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: you think that's the case here. They will just find 320 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: creative ways to f around the rules. For example, the 321 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: worst oder, most people say, the worst over of sports, 322 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: this guy, Bob Nutting, who he owns the Pirates. Bob Nutting. There, 323 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: you think this guy's gonna wake up the day after 324 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: they put a salary cap floor in baseball and say, 325 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: you know what, why don't we go out and sign 326 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber. Now we're the Pirates, why don't we sign 327 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber? What do you say? And we'll sign Ranger Suarez, 328 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: the top pitcher in the free agent market as well. 329 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: That'll go, Well, no chance, there is no chance they will. They'll. 330 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: What they're gonna do is they're gonna do it every 331 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: every team does. In a situation where there's a salary 332 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: cap floor, they are going to add bad contracts. They 333 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: will be the dumping ground. Teams like the Pirates will 334 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: be the dumping ground for massive bloated contracts in baseball. 335 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: And what you're gonna see is teams like the Dodgers 336 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: will use the A's example, like the Dodgers will call 337 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: the Athletics up and say, hey, we got this guy, 338 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: Tanners Scott. He's a dog with fleas. The guy's terrible, 339 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: and we want to get rid of his contract because 340 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: the salary caps. So what you guys are you're not 341 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: even at the floor yet, So why don't we send 342 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: him and we'll we'll put we'll throw in some lottery 343 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: ticket and we'll send him to the Athletics. And then 344 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: you just give us back, like you know, some low 345 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: level minor league pitcher, and then that's it. And and 346 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: that's what the top team are going to do. I 347 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: promise you. How do I know that I've seen it 348 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: in other sports? Right, He's like, well, I will send 349 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: you a prospect attached to the veteran player and all 350 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: that stuff boom, you meet the salary cap for it's 351 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: creative accounting. It's creative accounting, that's all. It's not winning baseball. 352 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: It's bookkeeping. It's baseball bookkeeping. And the Phillies will trade 353 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, who's washed up or certainly was this past season, 354 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: the starting pitcher. They'll trade him to the Pirates for 355 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: a half eaten tuna fish sandwich and a half eaten 356 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: bag of chips and a handshake and a smile. That's 357 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: what they'll do. And it's just cap compliance. Cosplay is 358 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: all it is at that particular point. And I remember 359 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: back in the day the Clippers, back before they were 360 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: purchased by Steve Balmer, when Stirling owned the team, right 361 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: before the season, they traded for a couple of veteran 362 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: players and I was like, wow, the Clippers are trying 363 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: to improve the roster. No, no, no. They were so 364 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: far that there was like a salary cap minimum you 365 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: had to spend in the NBA. And I don't know 366 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: if they still have that. I think they do. But 367 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: the Clippers traded because they traded for these two contracts 368 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: they didn't even have them on the roster, just so 369 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: they could be compliant with the low end of the payroll. 370 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: That's it. And so the teams will make phony trades. 371 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: You'll see a lot of phony trades just to check 372 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: the box. What's in the box? Phony trade, same playbook, 373 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: same playbook. So MLB teams are the teams that aren't 374 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: trying to compete, are going to continue not trying to compete. 375 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 1: They love the food snamps. They can't get enough of 376 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: the food snamps. They're those snap benefits for billionaires are 377 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: just snapity snap, so good. And if you think the 378 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: floor forces effort, if you think that's going to force 379 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: these teams to try to win you to read a 380 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: book or something like that, learn a little bit about life. 381 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mallard Show.

He says, ask weed man. Why 558 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is afraid of the Bill's mafia? So apparently, well, 559 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: you're you're really an expert, so apparently. So apparently Taylor 560 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: Swift didn't show up to the game on Sunday because 561 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: she had a bad experience with Bills fans and she's 562 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: afraid of the Bill's mafia.

I would think. 573 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: Taylor Swift probably likes it like that. 574 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't know she said she like that?

They would have traded him two 712 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,879 Speaker 1: years ago if they could have. There's no one dumb 713 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 1: enough to take his kind of The only stupid team 714 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: to take this guy's the Cardinals. They gotta find somebody 715 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: dumber than them next. 716 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 7: Matthew Stafford has won a Super Bowl, is all over 717 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 7: the record books, but he lacks individual accolades. However, some 718 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 7: analysts think that he needs to be considered for MVP 719 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 7: this season. 720 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,399 Speaker 1: What do you think, Ben? All Right? So, first of all, 721 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone who's the MVP right now. 722 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: It's like to me, it's wide open. Nobody's established himself. 723 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: That's the first thing. Stafford's been great. I thought he 724 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: was gonna be done is back. It was all messed up. 725 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm shocked that he's played as well as he has. 726 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: I didn't have that on my Bengo card. I don't 727 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: he's been good. I don't think he's MVP good though. 728 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 7: Next, a little over a week ago, we talked about 729 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 7: how Jimbo Fisher wants to return into coaching, but that 730 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 7: he will be picky about his opportunities. Now his name 731 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 7: is being floated as a potential higher for Auburn, then 732 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 7: do you think that would be a good fit for Fisher? 733 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: No, he's already won the lottery from Texas A and 734 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 1: M Why but just enjoy your life? What are you doing? 735 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: Why even bother coaching? Unless he can embezzle some more 736 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: money out of Auburn. They'll pay him a lot of money, 737 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: but it's it's not a great job in the SEC. 738 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: How did we do you passes it? That is are 739 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: the phot
