Speaker 1: Second half ish underway, obviously after the All Star break,

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: got tons of baseball to get to coming up for

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: the play of the day. In about fifteen minutes, we

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: had an all time great Major League Baseball play tonight.

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: I've seen it about fifteen times. I still can't get

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: over it. We're gonna bring it for you for the

36
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Play of the day when this game ends. I mean

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: it's this is all time on one of those lists

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: of the top types of this play in baseball history.

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Like this is one of the top three or four

40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen.

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: So it's not involving Tim Deep. I'm so excited. I

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: mean Tebo saving the guys.

43
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean he he doesn't get as much credit as

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: he should for saving the one guy at Mets camp

45
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Like that's a big thing, Like

46
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: that's a save, Like you know, Edwin Diaz, Kenley Jansen.

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: Say that's a save. We save a guy. You know,

48
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: something's happening. He tebo saved a guy.

49
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: But we begin with this absolute tire fire out of

50
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: the NFL right now last night, probably about an hour

51
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: into the show, right about an hour into the show,

52
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: and the story breaks that NFLPA leader Lloyd Howell Junior,

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: who's been running the NFL Players Association for the past

54
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: couple of years since the Maury Smith is no longer

55
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: running the Players Union, is stepping down as director. Oh so,

56
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: pretty big story. Not completely unexpected because we had the

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: story about ten days ago that potentially, according to sources

58
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: and Pablo Tory because he finds everything out now that

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: the NFL and the NFLPA colluded with one another to

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: keep salaries down following DeShawn Watson signing his big contract

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Everybody was mad, Why is Deshaun Watson?

62
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: I was mad.

63
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Everybod Harmer's met, everybody's mad. Everybody's mad. Oh, let's go

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: so Deshaun Watson gets this money, and they all allegedly

65
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: decided reportedly that hey, let's make sure we keep all

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money down because the quarterback's coming out for contracts.

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Where Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow and Josh Allen, guys

68
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: that were going to reset the market, Trevor Lawrence as well,

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: So let's keep it down. Incredibly embarrassing. When that story broke,

70
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: I said, I can't believe Lloyd Howell still has a job.

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: You have to sweep out everybody running things at the NFLPA,

72
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: because this is absolutely terrible. You have to sweep everybody out, right.

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: But a few days go, buy nothing happens. Okay, Then

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: we get the story yesterday or early in the day

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: that hey, you know what, hey, well, maybe the players

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: were being advised running backs were being advised during contract

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: negotiations to play up injuries and overexaggerate them because it

78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: would help them in negotiations. Okay, Now you gotta think, Okay,

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: this is the final straw, and Lloyd Howell's got to

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: be out after this, right. This is not collusion with

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, but Lloyd Howell's got to be out after this, right, Okay.

82
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: End last night around nine.

83
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: O'clock our time, maybe eight thirty, so eleven o'clock eleven,

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: eleven thirty on the East coast, it comes out that

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Howell is stepping aside, resigning his post.

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: Right, So Mike and I.

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: We were talking about this last night and you said

88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: to me, and I vividly remember you said, I think

89
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: it was in the last hour of the show. You said,

90
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: doesn't this seem like a Friday night news dump? Like

91
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: this story here, Like here's the NFL. It's a Friday

92
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: night news dump story. Right, We're gonna have this Friday

93
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: night eleven o'clock. This is really embarrassing. This guy's gonna

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: walk away Friday night eleven o'clock. So by the weekend

95
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: comes and it gets lost in the shuffle, And what

96
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: did I say? And I'm only, you know, I'm off

97
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: the cuff. This is what tells me being ahead of

98
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: the curve and just you know, hey, letting it fly.

99
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: What did I say to you? I said, well, unless

100
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: they're unless they're trying to get ahead of something that

101
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: could come out on Friday, right, Well.

102
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: You know there's always the other shoe.

103
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like, okay, but I mean, really, what

104
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: they really got to get ahead of something coming out

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: on Friday?

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: Okay?

107
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: No.

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Turns out he needed to resign to get ahead of

109
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: this on Friday, as the reason for his resignation came

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: up after reports surface that an outside investigator that was

111
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,559
Speaker 1: hired by the union got documents this week that showed

112
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: Howell charged the union for two visits to strip clubs,

113
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: including a seven hundred and forty dollars car service that

114
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: took him from the airport to one of the clubs.

115
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: The documents are Union approved expense reports and receipts. So basically,

116
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: the dude wanted to go to a strip club a

117
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: couple of times, and how he got there and what

118
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: he spent he wanted the NFL Players Association to pay for. Well,

119
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: so this this is falsifying your expense. Now how did

120
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: this get found out?

121
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: This is my favorite part.

122
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: So one receipt that ESPN obtanks this is a Don

123
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: Van Nada special. Right, He's been doing nothing but doing

124
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: stories like this for the past twenty years. Said he

125
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: got picked up in a sedan by car service at

126
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale International Airport on Thursday, November two, of a

127
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Cars first stopped at a nearby

128
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Miami Gardens address, right, and the rashet shows the receipt

129
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: shows one other stop nearly eight hours later. Okay, so

130
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: what it was was car put him up the airport,

131
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: brought him to this place and then brought him home

132
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: eight hours later. They saw that the car services exorbitant

133
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: costs really raised red flag, so they looked into it.

134
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: They searched online for the Miami Gardens address, discovering it

135
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: was a seventy six thousand square foot venue that bills

136
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: itself as the world's larger strip club Full Nude number

137
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: one rated called Tutsi's Cabaret.

138
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: Seventy six thousand square feet Smith, that's I mean seventy

139
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 3: six down.

140
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get in my head, like what seventy

141
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: six thousand square feet is That's like a full city block, right,

142
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: Like that's like like and I don't mean like hey,

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: small town like that's like a full New York city

144
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: block a strip club, Like, I mean that's why that's

145
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: like going and said, this is like I'm in like

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: there's like how many how many units are in this building?

147
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Seventy five hundred units in this building? Like that's how

148
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: big this thing is, seventy five thousand square feet.

149
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: Well, that becomes the question. I mean, like, now you're

150
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: talking about the city.

151
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's its own municipality in that, but I mean

152
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 5: think about the guy that was driving the car.

153
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one hell of a night.

154
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 5: You drop him off, you sit there for eight hours,

155
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: take it back, get eight hundred bucks, and you're felled

156
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: because of an eight hundred dollars expense.

157
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: Right, It's always it's like al Capone, you got busted.

158
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: For tax evasion because they couldn't nail down everything else. Right,

159
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: Because that's the crux of a lot of this investigation,

160
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 5: Pablo Tory everybody else. You've got a bunch of information

161
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: on messages exchange between owners which are collusive in nature,

162
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 5: but don't prove collusion. Right, you still like skating on

163
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 5: that line where you might teeter over, and reasonably minded

164
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 5: folks would.

165
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: Go, come on, what are we talking about here?

166
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: We're equivalent over some antics versus letter of the law

167
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 5: kind of thing.

168
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: But no, this is how he gets felled. Now.

169
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 5: The rest of the investigation he was also part of.

170
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 5: There was a sexual discrimination lawsuit going back to twenty

171
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 5: eleven that he'd been named as part of, and all.

172
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: Sorts of other things.

173
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 5: But no, no, no, it's seven hundred and twenty eight

174
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 5: dollars to a seventy five thousand square foot I mean

175
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: on a per square foot basis, Boy, that's cheap, boy,

176
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 5: that's cheap.

177
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: Good for him, but it's the thing that costs of

178
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: his job. And now that's not it. It's not you know,

179

00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, something happens, you know, but then you

196

209
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: other way on that one. Like I mean, I mean,

00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: and this guy, you're the executive director of the NFLPA.

212
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: pay for this to go out there. But no, the

214
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,800

00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: Eighty five, of course you could have, right, But now

218
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: that you're not getting away with that, eventually you're going

219
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: to get caught, especially if you still continue to do it,

220
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: you're gonna get caught.

221
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 5: Well, the bigger thing is you probably can still get

222
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 5: away with it in a lot of circumstances.

223
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: Until somebody comes for your head. Then it's gonna be

224
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: the thing that that.

225
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,000

00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: Was he on the.

00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: go to a strip club. But that's it, right.

239

Speaker 1: a thing, right Like, And I wanted to tell you

432
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: this story because this is when I learned this lesson

433
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: really young. When I had left ESPN as a producer, Okay,

434
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: and I went to KBC here in Los Angeles, Right,

435
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: so I'm producing sports here in LA and I had

436
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: to go out to Fontana Speedway to for the day

437
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: to do sports right like we were doing there was

438
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: one of the big events, like the California five hundred

439
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: when it was in its infancy, when they only had

440
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: it for the first couple of years. This is this

441
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: is the late nineties. It might have been two thousand

442
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: and California five hundred. So we decided that they said, hey,

443
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: we're going to send you out there to do sports.

444
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay.

445
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: So I'm the producer, Bill Weir is the talent, and

446
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: we go out there and we spend the entire day

447
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: out there and it starts raining. We're like, oh my goodness,

448
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: like wow, it starts raining. And I didn't bring anything

449
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: with me, so I had to buy a slicker, you know,

450
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: to wear because we're outside, you know, doing sports. Again,

451
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, so I got to buy a slicker. Now,

452
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: at ESPN they would always you know, and look me.

453
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: This is me coming from the ESPN world where hey,

454
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: when they sent you out on a shoot, if you

455
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: had to, if you had to buy something because of

456
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: what was going on, it's like, yeah, just expense it.

457
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: It's my god, God, I would never buy this regularly.

458
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: So I'm going to buy something.

459
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: Expense it.

460
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: So I buy this spy I think it was a

461
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: punch or whatever it was, and I expense it and

462
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, twenty dollars.

463
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: And they come back and they.

464
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: And they and the person in charge of the expenses says, uh,

465
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: this puncher right here go Yeah, because it was raining

466
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: for a little bit, we had to say, oh yeah,

467
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: we don't. I said, oh, okay, I'm sorry, and she

468
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: looked at me and I said, well, I said, look

469
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: because it because it was ABC. I said, listen, I

470
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: didn't know if ABC ESPN were the same.

471
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: This is something.

472
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: When I was at ESPN, they would expense because this

473
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: was this happened while I was out there right, like

474
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: I had to buy this. I would never buy it,

475
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: and they said okay. So the next time I go

476
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: out and do something, and I turned in my expense report,

477
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I start getting calls from from people.

478
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: I word like, Bill Weir calls me and he says, hey,

479
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: why is it? I forget the woman's name is called?

480
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: Why is she she called my phone.

481
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,560

482
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: not my phone number. Maybe all right, I'll call it.

483
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: She says, yeah. She just asked if I was there

484
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: and if Jason was there, and I said, no, this

485
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: is Bill. We're oh, okay, okay, great, and she hung up,

486
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: but I could tell it was her.

487
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay. And then my boss said to me, hey,

Speaker 3: Did you do? So?

492
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: I go no, I go, I don't know anything. Let

Speaker 1: I try to if I go, what's going I go,

495
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,000

00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: your expenses to make sure that everything you are submitting.

497
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: Is above board. I go, so the phone call?

498
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: So wait, wait, so you're calling the phone numbers that

499
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: I called, but I expent, you know, because it was

500
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: back when you would expense individual calls.

501
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 3: It wasn't like it was now.

502
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: I said, so you're calling the phone yeah, to make

503
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: sure these are people that that that you work. I go,

504
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: you could ask me, or you could I could give

505
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: this to you. He said, yeah, no, no, we're just

506
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: we're just double checking. And they went through like the

507
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: next two expense reports sided. They went through with a

508
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: fine tooth comb, like everything I did, and it's not

509
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: like I was expensive, and it's like my expenses were

510
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: like for like twenty eight dollars.

511
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is like you know, it's like twenty

512
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: four dollars.

513
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, because I was and they were calling,

514
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: hey the phone calls, I'm like, yeo, I'm calling here,

515
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: and everything was fine. And after that it went away

516
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, okay, so they were really

517
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: they were really quite on it with that. So I'm like,

518
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta know, I can't imagine being at

519
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: the level of trying to expect I'm going to a

520
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: strip club and I'm gonna build the NFL Players Union

521
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: for that expense. I can't well imagine the guts to

522
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: try to do something like that.

523
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 5: But I think it would come down to this though, Jason.

524
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 5: I mean, one, you know, I'm curious how long you'd

525
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 5: been there and who you'd pissed off. But the second

526
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 5: same thing with with Al here. I mean that's he's

527
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 5: looking around all right, which you jerks, But if you're

528
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 5: expensing meals and flights and car services on the regular,

529
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 5: what's two or three thousand dollars surrounding era, right, Yeah, yeah,

530
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: when you're when you're that big, And my guess is,

531
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 5: and and look, I know folks that try to expense

532
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 5: everything they can on their tags like they're not gonna

533
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 5: hodd it all of it.

534
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, good luck.

535
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 5: But it's the the kind of thing that if you

536
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 5: are submitting so many expense reports, yeah, car service is

537
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 5: probably if seven hundred plus dollars is going to stand

538
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 5: out because I mean, I don't know what the going

539
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 5: car right is. But you know what, if it was

540
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 5: one of those I was going to a meeting and

541
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 5: I just have the guys sit there and wait for me.

542
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: You're talking about a twenty three billion dollar business. I mean,

543
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: that's that's nothing. So I can understand the hubris of

544
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 5: who the hell is going to check on that? Yeah, yeah,

545
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 5: you know what I mean like that, that's the thing.

546
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 5: As egregious as it may seem, I also see the

547
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 5: logic in it of what the hell it's a two

548
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 5: thousand dollars expense again when I've normally spended twenty grand

549
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 5: on dinner to wine and dine, you know, big shots

550
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 5: and lawyers and whatever. When we're trying to fight for whatever,

551
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 5: you know, when we're not sabotaging what we're supposed to

552
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 5: be doing.

553
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: So and I.

554
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 5: Kind of understand, where, how will you know you take

555
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: you take an inch, They say, give you the inch,

556
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: you take the mile. You know that kind of thing, right,

557
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: They don't call the foul early in your respective sports

558
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 5: soccer or basketball or whatever.

559
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: He'd just say, I can hit the guy a little

560
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: harder next time, But like, where's my line?

561
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: But what I don't get is that this is a guy.

562
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: You're the executive director of the NFLPA. Right, You're the

563
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: executive director of the NFLPA, and you're you're okay because

564
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: you know this decision if you get caught could cost

565
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: you your job.

566
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 3: You know it could, right.

567
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: This is this is visiting a strip club and building

568
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: the union and that you know what a big deal

569
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: this is and to still be okay with that risk, Like,

570
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: that's what I don't That's what I don't get, you know,

571
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean like that that's the part that doesn't compete

572
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: with me. It's like, it's not like he couldn't afford it.

573
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: It's not like it was something that hey, I got hot. No,

574
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna expense the NFL for this. I'm gonna expense

575
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: the union that I'm fighting to get them more money,

576
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make them pay out this money because

577
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: I went to a strip club.

578
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: Like That's what I'm like.

579
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: I like, you are not thinking clearly or you're just

580
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: thinking you are completely above it and you are teflon.

581
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm the executive director of the NFLPA. You're not gonna

582
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: do this to me. But but to be able is

583
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: still make that decision that you know this could cost

584
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: you your job, and you go, yeah, yeah, what's the

585
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: worst can really happen?

586
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 3: No? I just told you yeah, But what's really gonna happen? No? No,

587
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: I just told you yeah.

588
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: Like that's the part that that I just shake my

589
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: head and go, man, what some people are okay with

590
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: trying to get away with well, but you.

591
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 5: Try to see where that line is and try to

592
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 5: you don't know what's the friends line. It's like you

593
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 5: didn't just cross the line in the sand. You erase

594
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 5: the line.

595
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: There is no line, you know that that kind of thing.

596
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: And I think for Howell and and for folks in

597
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 5: great power and this goes whatever business. I mean, how

598
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 5: many times have we seen this from from governmental officials local, state, federal,

599
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 5: to where it's like, really, you thought that was gonna

600
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 5: be okay? Or you did that? What wait, you didn't

601
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: think that would come back on you? I mean, hell,

Speaker 1: top three or top five of greatest greatest throws in

626
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: baseball history, Ronald.

627
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 7: Acunya, you get to be the play of the day,

628
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 7: and there's a towering flyveball to d Bryant field. Acunya

629
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 7: back towards the corner, shy of the warning track, makes

630
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 7: the catch in de Bright Mimas tags from second and

631
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 7: he goes into third base and.

632
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: They got him standing. He is shocked. He had no

633
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: idea who was in right field.

634
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: That's Ronald Leecunya, Braves Radio Network on the call.

635
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: There is so much with this play now.

636
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: First of all, Viva's completely half asked it getting to

637
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: third or didn't slide, didn't think there was gonna be

638
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: any play on him whatsoever. Right, so obviously you have

639
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: to get there. You gotta slide, you gotta bust your ass, right,

640
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: that's on him. Still, despite that, he still might have

641
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: been safe. Right the tag comes up behind him, and

642
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: he really might have hit the bag before the tag

643
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: hits his back.

644
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: But that doesn't matter. This throw by Acunya.

645
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: Is unreal and he catches it. First of all, kind

646
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: of snakes Vivas little bit because the way he goes

647
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: after the ball, like he's near the warning track in

648
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: the corner, in the right field corner when he makes

649
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: this catch, he's he's got his back to the infield

650
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: almost like it makes it look like the ball's gonna

651
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: go off the wall and he's gonna play it, or

652
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna go or it's gonna go foul. Most likely

653
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: to get Vivas to relax and maybe not tag or

654
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: think he's gonna keep going. But he positions himself under

655
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: the ball and he catches it, and he's already sort

656
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: of facing the infield, sort of facing back towards the infield.

657
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 6: Right.

658
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: It's one of those I catch it, I turn in

659
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: one motion and he uncorks an absolute dart on the

660
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: fly to third base and a great play because you know, hey,

661
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: when you're you know when when you're the third baseman,

662
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and and the throws coming in your

663
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: eyes get big, you want to make the play and

664
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 1: maybe the runner speeds up.

665
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: No, no, no, this was I'm real cool. I'm putting

666
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: my hands up at the last second.

667
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: Grab tag out, double play, gets out of the inning,

668
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Brays go up seven to nothing. They win this game

669
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: seven to three. This throw by a coun I mean it, Mike.

670
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: This is up there with like the Dave Parker throw

671
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: from the Kingdome that they've been showing this week for

672
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: the All Star Game with you know Parker passing away

673
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: a few days ago. That throw, it's one of the

674
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: greatest all times. Bo Jackson's throw from the left field

675
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: corner on the fly to home plate that gets Harold

676
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: Reynolds out at the plate that you see, like, this

677
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: is how good of a throw?

678
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 3: This is?

679
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: Like this is a top three, top five throws all

680
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: time that I've seen. I've seen it twenty five times

681
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: and I still can't get enough of it.

682
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I keep watching it on a loop, and then

683
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 5: I love the little celebration at the end where like

684
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 5: he's pulled a big fish out of the water. At

685
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: least that's how I'm interpreting it. Hey, snag me one.

686
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 5: But it's you know, he's flat footed, it's he spins

687
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 5: and fires the ball back. And the fact that dude

688
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 5: half asked it in the third we should all be

689
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 5: thankful because otherwise it's like, Wow, that's just a hell

690
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 5: of a throw.

691
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: But it doesn't get.

692
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 5: The spotlight that it now will, and you know, expanding

693
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 5: the legend of Ronald Acunya Junior. It's good to have

694
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: him back and healthy and playing well. Twenty third RBI tonight,

695
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 5: two for three from the plate. But this play, yeah,

696
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 5: it's It's mesmerizing just the the casual nature of the

697
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 5: catch turn. Let's just throw it and see what happens.

698
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 5: And because dude was he was dogging it. I mean,

699
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 5: let's call it what it is.

700
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: There's no chance in hell this guy can throw it

701
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: that far right and he still might have been safe

702
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: because you look.

703
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, we haven't gotten a reverse angle yet to see

704
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 5: whether we slapped it on him before the foot hit.

705
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 3: But no, I get your point there.

706
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: It's an unreal throw. I mean, and from from where

707
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: he is all the way in the corner, which, as

708
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, the one thing you were told growing up. No,

709
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: that's why your best arm goes on right field because

710
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: it's the longest throw to third base from the corner.

711
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: And Akunya is flat footed, like there's no I'm going

712
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: back and I have and I have a momentum where

713
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna step into the throw. He is absolutely flat

714
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: footed and he makes this throw on a line to

715
00:31:59,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: third base.

716
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: Unreal.

717
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 5: I mean, man, yeah, no giant crow hops or or

718
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 5: sprints or or trying to get momentum back toward now.

719
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 5: Just literally wow, just absolutely flawless. I wish I could

720
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 5: get this like on a sport flicks card to what

721
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 5: you got, like the three is phases. There's the catch,

722
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 5: there's the first throw, and there's the tag getting slapped

723
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 5: on just to ridiculous.

724
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: Ah it happens. It happened, I mean an amazing, amazing throw. Uh.

725
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Time not to find out what's trending in the wide

726
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: world of sports. From special delivery Steve de Sager.

727
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: The only game.

728
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: Tonight or two games tonight, the Yankees lost to the

729
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: Braves and the Phillies loss earlier tonight to the Angels.

730
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: That's the only baseball tonight, Steve.

731
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 4: I would say the Mets did not play, but really

732
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 4: that would be accurate.

733
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: By the way.

734
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: As far as great throws in the last decade, I

735
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: would add Yasiel Pleag at Colorado there was one from

736
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 4: near the edge of the warning track in right field

737
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 4: two third base on the fly. It literally third baseman's glove.

738
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: On the bag.

739
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 4: It was astounding. And then one in Anaheim Ramon Loriano,

740
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: an A's outfielder. If you can look that one up

741
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: from about the warning track in left center on the

742
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: fly over three hundred feet to first base to double

743
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: up a guy.

744
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: What you saw it was so.

745
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: Unlikely that he would get the out at third. It

746
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 4: was truly amazing. You mentioned Atlanta seven to three to

747
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 4: the final over the Yankees, Azzi Alby's home run four RBIs.

748
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: Cincinnati beat the Mets in New York eight to four.

749
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: Red's hit four home runs San Diego and Toronto with wins.

750
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 4: That Toronto victory was four to nothing against the Giants,

751
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: beating Justin Verlander, who's n eight. Miami was trailing in

752
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 4: the tenth, but they did have All Star Kyle Stowers

753
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: at the plate. Stour's a guy who right before the

754
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 4: All Star Break had a three homer game, then was

755
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 4: in the All Star Game on Tuesday, including in that

756
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: home run derby at the end where he hit one out.

757
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 4: He'd already hit one out a two run shot in

758
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 4: the first Tonight, and then this evening at home against

759
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 4: Kansas City, driving.

760
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: The inter right, building day prayers coming back at the

761
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: long unconscious Stars with the winner coming out of the.

762
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 4: Prey Marlin's TV Miami and ten innings wins eight to

763
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 4: seven over Kansas City. Kyle Stower is therefore in his

764
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 4: last two regular season games Tonight and Sunday, five homers

765
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 4: eleven RBIs eight hits in the two games. The only

766
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 4: person in the last century to have a two game

767
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,279

778
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: how many of these throws are the guys able to

779
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,359

780
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: the throw right more seven or eight, of them And

781
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,920

782
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,480

824
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,480

827
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: is not his big end and winning a championship is

828
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: not his focus because the feeling goes away after a couple,

829
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: of minutes and he wants to balance. His life and

830
