UM, there's no 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.399 doubt they will push Major League Baseball the opening day 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:46.560 on March back. UM, the a is, the conference tournaments 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.320 have all been canceled. March man Is will be postponed. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.680 I'm quite positive of that.

I think 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.320 there might be nasks are there for now, although I 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.480 heard the NASCAR it's going to make an announcement.

UM, 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.960 you know we It's funny because it almost took sports 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.120 for everyone to kind of treat this very as serious 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.040 as it should be. Able to talk all talk baseball 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.000 and stuff coming up with this hour, but I think 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.760 sports for us to kind of realize like how serious 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.840 it is, right and even me personally speaking, because business 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.040 as usual For me, I'm doing my normal thing.

There you have the update from Alex. 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.279 All the conferences that are not playing basketball, which is 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:32.560 letterry conference that's off like basketball, The XFL is still going, Jen, 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.520 how are how are you doing anything? Listen? Obviously, you 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.400 you flew when when did you fly? So? I flew 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:42.720 in yester yesterday night. How are the Air Force plane? Airports? 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.600 And planes were amazing? First of all, I do fly often. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.480 I have in the past week been on a plane 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.000 and not had to share any row. Right, I mean, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.200 nobody's near me. Um, the planes are extremely clean. You 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.480 can tell that everyone's being very polite. Everyone's covering their 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.000 mouth if they coffee. Don't hear coffee. You don't see sniffling. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.760 You can tell it's all been bleached. You see them 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.280 cleaning it. So in a strange way, it felt safer 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.159 to fly this week than it has in the last 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.240 three years. So that was fine. It was easy to 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.919 get a cabbag JFK. And then of course got in 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.039 last night and everything really started to really unravel. So yeah, 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.120 Jen in town for for tow Wars, in town for 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.760 the NFBC, in town for the g d D, and 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.320 we may go over three here, right. You know all 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:31.839 these drafts um are being potentially postponed canceled in some instances, 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.080 and well we'll just lay it out there. We're supposed 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.160 to be in a draft together tonight. Um, it was 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.119 supposed to be at a bar on the upper eastat 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.920 side earlier this week, there was a vote to to 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.600 cancel that um and to just do it online. As 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.680 for an abundance of caution, I know some members of 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.880 the league are older. Some members of the league could 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.280 take care of their parents and their children. It wasn't 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.760 worth it in several members eyes to draft knowing what 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.640 else is going on, and that was fine, So they 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.920 want to do it from home. Now. The MLB announced 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.000 that their postponing stre been training and more more than 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.200 likely postponing the start of MLB season at least a 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.040 couple of weeks. If it's not like they can't I mean, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.080 I mean, because obviously this brings a lot of stuff 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.520 into question, and we can talk about strategies and I've 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.760 already thought about a lot of things and um, but 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.040 they obviously can't start the season on time. It's impossible 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.800 at this point. If they're gonna suspend spring training, it's 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.280 not healthy for the players, it's not good for the 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.200 teams this period. So we had another week or so 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.400 of spring training left. And if we're stopping spring training, 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.000 let's say for another a month, right. The NBA is 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.320 kind of holding things out for thirty days. Everyone seems 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.760 to be holding out for thirty days. We'll kind of 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.920 re evaluate in mid April and see where we are. 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.360 If the MLB does that, you're gonna need another two 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.080 to three weeks to kind of get everybody ramped back up. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.480 And I'm not saying pictures can't throw, because they will. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.920 I can't say hitters can't hit, because they will. But 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.080 it's not the same, and you're gonna need, like I said, 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.920 another couple of weeks. And that's why I've had in 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.400 my head that like, you're looking to me first, and 0:07:55.720 --> 0:08:00.320 it's it's legit possibility. We don't start baseball until May first, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.400 so you're in a ton of leaves. This is what 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.560 you do if you're supposed to draft this weekend, which 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.480 you are. You supposed to draft tonight, which you are. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.000 Would you want to postpone or cancel these drafts knowing 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.280 that there is so much up in the air. No, 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.000 not for me, because for me, first of all, I'm 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.119 I think it's going to be fun strategy to actually 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.720 figure out how this works out, which is part of 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.080 the game of this um. And second, I'm I fear 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.400 that if we postpone it it just won't happen again 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.600 the same way. You know. So, as we said, sorry 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.720 for interrupting you, as we say, um, as we're talking 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.280 about this, can Rosenthalis just come out and said mL 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.760 V is suspending spring training games and they are delaying 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.560 the start of the regular season by at least two weeks. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.680 So it was supposed to start and pull my calendar. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.400 You're supposed to start in Mar this year. It was 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.679 a Thursday, um, and they are now pushing the back 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.920 to at least April night. Okay, so we have two 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.800 more weeks of information at that point. Maybe, um. But 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.520 so if it's only two weeks, I'd still rather draft tonight. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.680 I guess if it were two months, that might feel different. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.760 MutS feels different. We're talking about two weeks. You're talking 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.480 about like who starts for pictures. You're and I'm not 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.439 saying it will be two weeks. It's it's at least 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.680 two weeks. The goal is that we're hopefully as a country, 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.560 will have a better handle on what's going on by 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.400 the middle of April, and you can at least make 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.559 plans of some story knowing what's to come. This is 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.720 what we know now from MLB, So we have to 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.720 just make sure that would like you make sure anything 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.680 you get, make sure anything. We don't know anything, but 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.840 I agree with you. I want to draft tonight. And 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.719 I said this on Twitter and Frank and I are 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.760 a team tonight, as everybody knows, we're team in life. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.040 But he texted me as soon as I responded to 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.760 the email about postponing the draft, andanized it, what do 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.120 you mean, Like, why don't you want to postpone? Because 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.840 he tweet and he had a huge tweet you have 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.800 to postpone draft? Like, no, you don't, And I tweeted 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.760 out like, there's more chaos. It makes it more fun. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.280 There's more uncertainty, and I like it. There's a lot 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.640 of questions. It makes more fun. And somebody responded, like 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.600 you think this is fun. I'm like, oh, this sucks. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.880 All of these sucks, but we're all gonna have to 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.320 be home and we're gonna be quarantined. We're gonna have 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.920 to sit here and be on the air with no 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.760 sports to talk about. Yeah, I want a draft for fun, 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.839 and I bet there's gonna be a lot of draft 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.120 champions going on people at home with nothing else to do. 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.040 So they're gonna spend the money in draft, why I'm 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.040 going to do that, And I want to be able 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.000 to do that tonight with people that I enjoy hanging 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.640 out with who I can't hang out with people I 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.319 enjoy being in a league, with a competitive league. And yeah, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.080 you know, the cream always rising at the top. I'm 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.000 sure by the end of it ian con And because 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.160 she will be at the top anyway, like they always are. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.680 There's a lot of uncertainty tonight, and that's what makes 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.520 it even more challenging and more fun. And that's why 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.400 I voted the draft. Yeah, I had the same same vote. Um, 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.160 even though it's supposed to be a private boat, now, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.600 you know, I replied, Also, here's the thing, so I 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.360 replied all by accident, like I didn't. I truly didn't 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.800 mean to reply all. I previously had emailed Steve when 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.040 he asked like specifically, but I just pressed reply and 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.640 I didn't realize it was replying all until I got 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.800 an email saying, how do you apply all? They're all 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.560 gonna think I'm trying to hurry. Yeah, but um, I 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.080 think drafting tonight again, it's there's a lot of strategy 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.040 we can talk about this there. Now, all of a sudden, 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.240 some injured players come into play. What is the new 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.400 value of Justin Berlander? Now Justin Burlander, James Paxton, Clevinger, 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:26.600 Gean Carlo Stanton, Michael Conforto, Michael Conford, Oh right, Aaron June, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.719 Jillie Calhoun, all of these players who wait. Frankly, you're 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.040 sitting here and we've done it for months and you 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:34.920 have to be like, all right, well, Lena, worry about this. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.640 Cole Hamil is another one. I don't want. I don't 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.920 want to pick this guy. He's gonna be out. Who 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.840 knows we'll be back? Well, now, I'm like, Mike Clemoners 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.599 won't give this couple weeks April anyway, Jays Paxton was 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.839 gonna get to mid May, Chris Sale, maybe even Chris 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:55.440 sal Darry Sanchez name you're Yankee. They're on this list. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.240 That's what we're talking about. I mean a lot more 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.679 of that to come here be f st hang out. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.560 Are you ready for the nation's first and only free, 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.600 twenty four hour network dedicated to you the betting and 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.800 fantasy sports enthusiast.

Located both in the heart of New 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.120 York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.120 meadow Lands Sports Crade is live eighteen hours a day 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.520 here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports grade. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:45.600 Get off the grid. As we said, going to break 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.199 and now the press releases out for Major League Baseball, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.839 they are canceling the rest of the spring training and 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:54.200 postponing the season beginning at least two weeks so right now, 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.720 tentatively April nine. But of course this is all up 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.800 in the air. As we've heard a lot um from 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.680 our government over the past couple of days, things are 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.160 gonna get worse unfortunately before they get better. We've seen 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.000 around the world how that happens. Now there are places 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.840 that already getting better, thankfully. Yeah, China is already getting China, 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.560 South Korea's and it seemingly on the path getting better. 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.760 I don't really and honestly trust anything I'm trying to 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.920 these days, but you know, I think that it has 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.080 to get really bad before it gets better. And hopefully 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:26.400 all these containments and more testing will help us um 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.800 get better sooner. Now, as Frank, this yesterday. I'm asking 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.760 you assuming the draft happens to night, and again, I 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.559 don't think it will, even though we know for sure 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.559 there's two votes to the yes. That's true. Constant email 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.960 as well to me directly saying he voted yes, so 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.320 that's three. I think Rick Wilf will want to do it. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.480 I really can't guess, but I think he and Glenn 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.480 will be in you like, shoot a text? Can you 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.200 shoot that text? I can text him. I know that 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:53.440 excellent telling to push for all right, so we only 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.880 need we need to eat, right, it's only need eat. Yeah, 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.240 so you know, hopefully get there. When was I three? 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.200 We have three? I feel like nano is a secret? 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:07.680 No do so nando? I was like Dane Jane's like, oh, 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.040 I don't know, Like, dude, why not? It's more fun whatever. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.760 I asked Frank this yesterday. Okay, how does your strategy 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:19.160 change doing a draft on online auction versus man? This 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.960 is such a great question. So this is one of 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.360 the things that I'm a little so I am actually 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.520 doing a live draft tomorrow. I'm so grateful my home 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:31.600 league is still happening. It is an auction. Can I 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.640 be in that? Right? Do you want to come totally 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:40.240 just come might when it starts at eight am, but 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.840 it goes all day, like all day to like four pm. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.880 Why is auction because there's a lot of drinking. There's 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.040 bloody Mary bars, there's catered lunch. You know, I like 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.120 a thing. I have to work, but if I didn't 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.960 have to work, I'd be really interested in being there. 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.200 So yeah, and and so a lot of what I 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.160 do in auctions has to do with how the room 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.440 feels and how it's going, and like how you nominate 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.840 and what you hear in people's voices, the energy, and 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.680 so I don't know how it's going to be with 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.520 an online draft. I've never done anything but a live draft, 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.240 and I'm a little concerned about how non emotional it's 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.120 going to be in a weird way. Um and that 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.640 so why So we've been in the g d D 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.480 for two years now, and the first the first draft, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.080 like we had fun, got a lot of dirty looks 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.040 because we were having two fun. A lot of dirty looks. 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:26.840 A lot of people are like so annoying. I was like, 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.840 all right, well with all the back um a little 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.360 bit last year where we're serious, but was still a 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.600 little cheerful this year, I I could reveal our strategy. 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.200 We did it. Now you're sitting across from so I'll 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.840 tell you exactly what we're gonna doing. So we're at 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.920 cold plans one whenever Ian convid, We're just gonna do 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.640 one dollar more, no matter what, no matter who the 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.680 player was, just you know. I mean these things were 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.360 good strategy, right, So h that was one. The second 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.520 thing was as soon as we draft the player, we 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.360 look around the room and then we're just gonna be like, boom, 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.280 you're gonna have an easy I was bringing the easy 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.600 button with me to the draft, bringing the easy button. Dang, 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.480 the whole plan and other people are gonna love it 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.040 and be like these and guys I want to murder them, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.400 but not be okay, get in their head. Yeah, all good, 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.320 It's all the same. I mean, like I can tell 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.880 you you can always bid line up on Yankees. Sure 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.400 you've always been showing con Yeah, so like there's certain 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.000 people you know, and that's what makes it fun. And 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.480 probably because until you do that online. But like I 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:25.720 don't know if you've listened to it all to any 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.560 of the broadcast of like the n L to Out 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.440 or or the labor weekends or sorry not yeah, the 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.960 labor and you could hear like all of a sudden, 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.360 there's a bidding war for freaking Hector Nerris why you know, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.520 And that's something that when you're online, I don't think 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.080 that's going to happen. I agree, because you're not It's ah, 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:42.880 you're not in the room. You're not like I though, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.160 you don't have adrenaline because I've done online auctions before 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.240 football admittedly, but I've done online auctions and you you 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.320 get there, but it's not like the same like intensity, 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.920 you know what, and on all Honestly, my online drafts, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.440 my online auctions, I've always been in the room with everybody. 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.040 So we were surrounding a table. So it's like you 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:03.520 and I right now, but like I see you see them, 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.960 I see see. That's fun. So that's why I even thought, 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.679 you know, if we could even draft in person, but 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.520 still you still can't do it in person. I mean, 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.760 if we draftment, I'm like hanging, you're more You're more 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.960 than welcome to come over a pizza. That's literally all 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.399 you need. You're walking to my apartment. Beat yeah, but 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.040 I mean I think that is part of it. Because 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.520 you don't you don't know, and you can't feel the 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.840 energy of the room, right. And the other thing I 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.240 worried about is that one of the one of the 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.000 things I've always liked about it is I'm pretty good 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.120 to keeping a cat patalog in my head. I who's 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.560 available and who hasn't been taken, and everyone's going to 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.600 be able to see it. It's kind of like like, oh, well, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.040 Jonathan Scope still there and I hadn't valued at three 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.080 dollars anyway, so I'll just wait. And you can't like 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.200 give people that impression that they're running out, that their scarcity. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.080 And the other thing, and the other thing for me 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:52.720 was and I know a lot of people use draft 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.399 software in league, especially some of these higher price players. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.639 Um they use draft software, but for us, like I don't, 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.720 and I just a guy goes that crossed, right, And 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:04.440 I don't have much especially on my computer, and I 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.239 just cross it off. But now I if you and 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.080 I are are in a bid together, I can see 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.960 your team, so you have too, if you have two 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.959 outfielders or going after each other. Oh, she doesn't need 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.640 this one that badly. Yeah, I probably could out been 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.000 here here. I know that now I don't know that 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:21.880 when we're sitting there, like, I don't know how Jed 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.520 has our team. I'm way too focus on my own stuff. 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.560 But now being on online auction, I could really take 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.200 the time to look around, especially if there's a player 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:31.760 that is being been on that you know, I don't 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.560 have any interest in. Let's say Mike Child, Like, I 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.119 don't expect to go off for my jop, but he's 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.120 gonna be expensive player and there's gonna be a beting 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.480 war for him. Well join my traps nominated. I could 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:40.760 sit there and be like, all right, so this person 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.960 is I'm competing with this person for this starting picture. 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.760 They've spent some money here. There's it's totally different. It 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.119 is totally different. I think it's totally different too. So 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:50.720 I don't know how this is going to go at all, 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.920 um if it goes at all. If it goes I'm 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.720 literally just refreshing my email waiting to be disappointed. So 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.440 I'm gonna put a request out to the fans. Should 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:02.080 they redo it as a UM live auction, maybe we 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.520 can just like raise some funds, like a go fund 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.399 me to send Gen back to New York. That's not 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.960 a bad idea. Right, that's not about and I'll name 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.320 my team. I'll rename my team. Whoever the benefactor is 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:13.720 to send me back to New York if we do 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.080 the live auction. I got a live action again, because 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:17.720 even at Baseball Stars, they may do it with no 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.199 fans and then we're like, all right, so let's just 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:21.680 do it. Let's just do it. What I mean, that's 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.919 a whole other question, like what's going to be the difference? 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.200 Does that make you upgrade astros if there's no fans. 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.280 We're gonna get to that. We're gonna get knew that 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.080 before before the before the coronavirus hit, Like, this is 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.280 why I wanted to have you, was to talk about 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.080 the astros. And we're going to get to the astros 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.800 because I have I'm really excited to talk to you 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.880 because you're a fan. Yeah, there's I want to hear 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.119 the fans perspective of it. So I'm interested in getting 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.240
