Speaker 1: All right, So we are back at it here, and

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: oh what a magical night it was. We're gonna start

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: with the college basketball now. I I was watching baseball

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: all day, but I want to start with.

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: The college basketball. We have moved on.

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: After a three day hiatus, the twenty twenty six men's

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: basketball tournament has resumed and our lead this hour from

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. As is per normal, we had double

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: barrel action. Double bar action is four games going on,

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: well one at a time or two at a time,

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: so four total games, two slots into the Elite eight.

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: Of course, as of right now at this hour, we're

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: at see We've got still four more games tomorrow, so

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: we're at like ten teams. But eventually we'll get down

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: to the Elite eight, and then by the end of

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: the weekend we'll have the final four all score away.

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know if you watched any of this

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: or not. The ratings are good.

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: I was told by one of my TV friends they

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: changed the ratings so that all the numbers are inflated

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: to make it seem like there's more people watching. So

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: of course that person's very cynical. We're going to start

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: in the West. We're going to start in the West

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: as the number one seed, Arizona trying to move on

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: and advance to the Elite eight, taking on number four Arkansas,

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: and I had circled this game. I gave out some

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: terrible advice on this game. I was optimistic. I was

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Benny Brightside.

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: On this game. It was a dud. It was an

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: absolute dud.

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: Arizona finally got over the hurdle for Tommy Lloyd, their coach.

41
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: One of the arguments, well, they've had good players at

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Arizona and they just can't can't get past that.

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: Speed bump the Sweet sixteen.

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: Well they have now and they did it with Gusto

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the Wildcats of Tommy Lloyd getting twenty three points from

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: Bradenbury's and a dominant I mean they were Arkansas. I

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: don't know if they attempted to play defense, it didn't

48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: look like it.

49
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: One oh nine to eighty eight.

50
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: That's an NBA style score as they spanked. They being

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: Arizona spanking Arkansas and advancing to the Elite eight there,

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: and that's a good jumping off point.

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: So this is to me, this is the game. I

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: know it wasn't.

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: The Purdue game was the game that came down to

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: the very end and all that, and then there was

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: also drama in Iowa and Nebraska, and for this was

58
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: not This was not drama. But to me, this was

59
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: the story. So let's discuss the question. You make the call,

60
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: tell me the better story. What is the better story?

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: Here is the better story, Arizona's absolute domination, this was

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: a domination situation, or Arkansas and their coach John Calipari

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: getting absolutely.

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: Embarrassed, embarrassed in this game.

65
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got the Red Sea,

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: Johnny Cochrane and bird dogging, and we will combine all

67
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to pull

68
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: the one armed bandit. The biggest money maker in Vegas,

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: the slot machine, the penny slot machine. They make more

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: money on the penny slot machine than anything else.

71
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: It's all about the penny slot machine.

72
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: So a.

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: You know how I'm wired here.

74
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: If you listen to this show even once in a while,

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: you know how I'm wild wired. This is not about

76
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: the Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team being great. They were

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: a top seed for a reason, So stop with that.

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it.

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: That to me is surface level garbage.

80
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: And if you think that's the better story, you should

81
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: never host a sports radio show, bad job by you.

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: The story here is John Calipari getting absolutely pants on

83
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: national television. That's the drama, a rama. The man Calipari

84
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: is a maestro at recruiting. He looks good, dresses well.

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: And then this seems to happen quite a bit. And

86
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: you know how we do things. If it bleeds, it leads,

87
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: And there was a red sea on the court as

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: to the things were unraveling for Arkansas. It's all about

89
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: the Hogs. Everyone can continue to drool over Arizona like

90
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: they just discovered fire out there in Tucson, and good

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 1: for them. They played very well well, they advanced. That's

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: not good talk radio. So from a talk radio standpoint,

93
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: whoopedee damn do. The story is all the excitement that

94
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: John Calipari brought to Arkansas, the amount of money that

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: was invested in this and that result. Defensively was a

96
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: crime scene. It looked like the varsity scrimmaging the freshman. Okay,

97
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: this doesn't I don't know how to describe. It was

98
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: like traffic. It wasn't even Mattador defense. It was traffic

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Cone defense. And if it seems like that's a pretty

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: bad day for John Calipari losing by twenty one points,

101
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: that's not a loss.

102
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: That was a public execution.

103
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: In fact, that's the worst loss we are told in

104
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: the history of Calipari in the tournament. Now, he's had

105
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: some doozies, some real great losses elsewhere in the regular season,

106
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: but in terms of the tournament.

107
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: This is the one. And so here's the other.

108
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Part of it, as we continue our in depth team

109
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: coverage all night. The other part of it is it's

110
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: not necessarily new. It's not new. In fact, in many ways,

111
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: it's a rerun. John Calipari has been running a basketball

112
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: clearinghouse going back to Kentucky. Any obviously had some success

113
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: at Kentucky and occasionally they were going to be a

114
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: big run. But you look at it overall and it's

115
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: the same formula. Get the blue chip player, the top freshman,

116
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: great highlights. You're selling the dream of the NBA. You're

117
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: not selling the banners and all that, and it's getting

118
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: your feet underneath you.

119
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: And that'll be the counter arrighty as well. You know,

120
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: it's John caliber. It takes time.

121
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: But the way Calipari coaches, and really the modern landscape

122
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: of college basketball, I think we can all agree, even

123
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: though most of us only really pay attention when the

124
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: tournament begins. The way this works, the way all of

125
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: this works, is it's a year to year proposition. Everyone's

126
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: a free agent and you cut checks and you've got

127
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: to pick the right players. And if you pick the

128
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: right players, you're in good shape. Everything's great to go

129
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: and all that. And mentioned this being a rerun, and

130
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: we've seen this a lot, and this Arkansas basketball much

131
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: like many others, but Calapar has just done it longer.

132
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: It's like a drive through. You order a.

133
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: Bag of talent, and then you get the bag of talent,

134
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: and then you get bounced not that far into the

135
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: tournament and so that's where we are now turning the

136
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: page on that I.

137
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: Have noticed, and I don't know if you've noticed noticed this.

138
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Many of the media people are very upset with this

139
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: tournament because the thing that has always been here, and

140
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: I say always last year we had all chalk, but

141
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: for the vast majority of March madness, the thing that

142
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: has consistently consistently been there has been that I can't

143
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: believe that team made it this far.

144
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: You know what's going on. So I bring that up

145
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: because Iowa.

146
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: In a interesting game with We'll talk more about this

147
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: as we go through the overnight. Iowa getting the win

148
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: over what had been the upstart Nebraska that game played

149
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: in Houston thanks to a late ferocious effort there. And

150
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: so the Hawkeys get the dramatic win one by six,

151
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: seventy seven to seventy one, and because of that, coach

152
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: Ben McCollum as a result, getting a lot of praise.

153
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: And so I'm going to frame it this way. Here's

154
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: the question.

155
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Do the Iowa hawkas to the Iowa Hawk guys of

156
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: coach Ben McCollum, do they count as a Cinderella. Here

157
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: In the twenty twenty sixth edition of the NCAA Men's

158
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: basketball Tournament and the answer I have two words for

159
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: this Hell no.

160
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: So enough of the media dopes and they're just lazy.

161
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: They're trying to microwave, not air fry, because air fry

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: takes a little longer. They're trying to microwave a narrative

163
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: that just does not exist. They're desperately they're so used

164
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: to having this boilerplate story where you just fill in

165
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: the names of the players and the coach and the

166
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: school and send it out and it takes up algorithm

167
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: and it ends up in the algorithm, takes up gigabytes

168
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So they're trying to do a just

169
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: add water story to the Iowa Hawk guys. They want

170
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Iowa to fill that Cinderella avoid and it just doesn't work.

171
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: It just did taste like cardboard. It's not a good

172
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: meal now for Iowa. If I was in a Hawkeye

173
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: fan and a lot and we have a bunch of

174
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: people in Iowa, they are a big Hawkeye fans that

175
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: are listening to the show, and some of you guys

176
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: have sent me. I have a Hawkeye hat because of

177
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: you guys. You hooked me up, so thank you for that.

178
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: That's more valuable now because I was advanced in the tournament,

179
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: so I'm not spitting loogies at their coach. All bends

180
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: have to support other guys named Ben. It's not a

181
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: common name. There's not a lot of people named Ben.

182
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: So we have people name band. It's like the brotherhood

183
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: of Band, and we got to support bands, and we do.

184
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: And the Hawkeyes are here.

185
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: And they could go to the Final four and all

186
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: that wonderful stop in terms of Cinderella.

187
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: And here's why last I checked. And maybe I'm wrong

188
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: on this.

189
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

190
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: I just do the overnight show.

191
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Iowa is a Big ten school, which means they have resources,

192
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: they have nice planes, they have nice facilities. Now, are

193
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: they a basketball school? No, they're a wrestling school. Is

194
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: that fair to say? I don't think of Iowa not

195
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: really a football school unless you like games that are

196
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: like fourteen thirteen or something like that. To me, you

197
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: cannot be an upstart when you're cash rich and you're

198
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: backed by a power conference.

199
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: Am I wrong on that?

200
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: I look at this like the old square peg in

201
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: a in a round whole situation, you're trying to put

202
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: the square peg into the round hole. And many of

203
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: these basketball scribed bloggers whatever you want to.

204
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: Call them these days, I don't know. We call them writers.

205
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: They're just kind of bloggers and clickbait artists and all that.

206
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: They're trying to hit this thing with a mallet, and

207
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, it's a square peg, and then

208
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: the holes round and all that stuff. And as the

209
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: Great Johnny Cochrane, the late great Johnny Cochrane taught me

210
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: as a child, he said, and I was paying attention.

211
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: If you were, if it don't fit, you must have quit.

212
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: So it does.

213
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: I would just not fit as a Cinderella. You cannot

214
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: convince me that that's the case. This is and I

215
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be the regular. It's a

216
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: small sample size. It is a Cinderella less tournament.

217
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: Just deal with it. Just deal with it.

218
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: You have a mix of some blue bloods and some

219
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: mid level.

220
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: They're not Cinderella.

221
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: They're kind of like middling, middle management type people. To

222
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: call a big team a Cinderella is an insult to

223
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: glass slippers everywhere. It's both lazy and fraudulent at the

224
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: same time. So that's that. We'll talk about some of

225
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: the other games as we go through. I did want

226
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: to mention something from the coach in Carousel. Did North

227
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: Carolina hire a coach? No, Boston College did not. I

228
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: don't normally talk about Boston College because they're Boston College.

229
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: Why would you?

230
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: I found this interesting enough to bring up here and

231
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: to chat with you about. It rises to high crimes

232
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: and misdemeanors here as Boston College, we are told hired

233
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: or is in the process of finalizing a deal with

234
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: Yukon assistant coach Luke Murray as their next head coach.

235
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: And he said, well, is that the guy? That is

236
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: that the guy they showed on TV because of his daddy? Yes, yes,

237
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: that is the spawn of a man who is part

238
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: of some of the greatest cinema back before Hollywood went terrible,

239
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: back when they actually used to make good movies and

240
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: original movies, and many many years ago, these movies are

241
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: still cult favorites. Bill Murray, that's his kid, Ghostbusters and

242
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: all the rest back in the day. And so now

243
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: we'll see Bill Murray at Boston College games with the

244
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: question what are your expectations, if any, for Bill Murray's son,

245
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Luke Murray as he gets his first big time head

246
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: coaching job. I say loosely big time because Boston College

247
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: is certainly not a basketball school, but they're not a

248
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: football school either. All right, So here's my thought. I'm

249
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: gonna be Benny Bryce out on this. Could it be

250
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: because I grew up on Bill Murray movies?

251
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 3: Possibly? Possibly? I'm gonna give this guy credit.

252
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: And here's why this guy did not just ride the

253
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: coattails of his father's fame.

254
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't believe that. I looked at his resume.

255
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: The guys spent nearly twenty years in the trenches and

256
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: bounced all over the place. He's been bird dogging, bird

257
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: dogging Dan Hurley, the Yukon head coach, mensa crazy person, lunatic,

258
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: what ever want to call him, and he's been the

259
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: right hand man for Dan Hurley since twenty twenty one credited.

260
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of this is true or not.

261
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: As the architect of their euro style offense, and of

262
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: course won a couple of championships Yukon did in twenty

263
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: three and twenty four, and he paid his dues. You look,

264
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: he bounced around. He's been at a number of schools

265
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about Luke Murray, including Quinnipac. Now, when you're

266
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: at Quinnepac, that means you're at the very bottom. And

267
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: he's been in a bunch of other smaller schools and

268
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of ties to the Northeast, and

269
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: so he's seen the good, the bad, and the ugly

270
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: of college basketball recruiting and all that. And the main

271
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: reason that you should be somewhat optimistic here is because

272
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: there are no ex there are no expectations. BC has

273
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: become the spam of the ACC.

274
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: They are just calling it is.

275
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Here's no need to sugarcoat anything, and it just kind

276
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: of fill a slot on the schedule. Very rarely are

277
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: they competitive the monster conference era that we're in right now,

278
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: or these conferences are mega mega mega. What is the

279
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: ACC like eighteen teams or something like that. Like for

280
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: some reason they put Stanford and Cal in there. That

281
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: makes sense, but they're in there. And so Boston College

282
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: has finished near the bottom since they expanded the ACC

283
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: and for them, the bars.

284
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: If you reach the ACC tournament.

285
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: I believe I'm correct on this that that's considered a success.

286
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: So for for.

287
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: Murray, for Luke Murray going in there, the floor is

288
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: so low that even a five hundred conference record would

289
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: make it seem like you've done a good job. Now,

290
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: the biggest total always is going to be the checkbook.

291
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: BC has historically struggled with nil that name, image and likeness,

292
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: the support. They can't They just haven't been able to

293
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: get the amount of revenue going as.

294
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: The blue bloods and understandable.

295
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: So it's going to take and I don't know the

296
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: most powerful, like the richest alumni. I'm not that familiar

297
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: with Boston College alumni. I'm sure every university that's been

298
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: around for a while has a couple people that have

299
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: been really really wealthy, successful and all that. So one

300
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: of those people, like kind of like Mark Cuban bankrolled

301
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: Indiana football.

302
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: If the deep pocket boosters are there.

303
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: You can buy the roster, you can get the top

304
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: offense and all that, and you got a guy that's

305
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: been billed as this great offensive coach.

306
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: We'll see if that's true or not.

307
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: But it's the pay to play landscape, which is often

308
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: the great equalizer and can lift you up as well.

00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 5: Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to

315
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 5: the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen

316
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 5: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who

317
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: have the dumbest takes on sports imaginable. Don't listen to

318
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 5: the show so it can get camps.

319
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 4: What the hell are you doing out studio in him, Paulie,

320
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 4: Ignore that fool. Listen to the Pauline Tony Fusco Show

321
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.

322
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: He's still moving from Los Angeles.

323
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: And that was the over the top home opener and

324
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: the debut of the back to back champs of Major

325
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: League Baseball. If you saw any of this was on

326
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: in b see there was Will Ferrell. I went to

327
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: the same high school as Will Ferrell. Back in the day,

328
00:17:54,200 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell helped the Dwyers celebrate their championship, the latest championship?

329
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: Is he still working? Will Ferrell? I feel like he's

330
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: not really doing much. He's made so much money he

331
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: didn't need to do anyway.

332
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: He's still famous, and there he was driving around Freddie

333
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: Freeman and Miguel Rojas in a made for the Jumbo

334
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Tron moment at Chevez Ravine.

335
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 3: On the opening day.

336
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: There they had Freeman and Rojas each holding up the

337
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: championship trophies from the last couple of years.

338
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: Now. As for the game itself, the.

339
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks briefly did have a lead, and then Andy Piez

340
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: said by bye hit to go ahead three run homer

341
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: in the fifth, and the Dodgers did not. And the

342
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: usual big boppers did not necessarily get it done. Will

343
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: Smith did, but some of these other guys kind of quiet.

344
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers, though, rally get past Arizona eight to two.

345
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are on pace to win one hundred

346
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: and sixty something games this year. So they beat the

347
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks in the season opening. The thing people are talking about, though,

348
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: is not necessarily that. It's all the other stuff. It's

349
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: the Will Ferrell fingam a jig. It's all that. So

350
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the

351
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: question where do you stand on this Dodger opening day

352
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance as it was, So I've got cracker barrel,

353
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: social experiment, and hangover, and we will combine all of

354
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: these things together, and you and I are going to

355
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: bake some cupcakes, is what we're going to do, and

356
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: then we're gonna run like the devil is after that.

357
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 3: All right.

358
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: First of all, the Dodgers didn't open a season. It

359
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: looked like they were opening a theme park. It was

360
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: sensory overload and I weren't even there. I was watching

361
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: this stuff online and it's like they charged extra for it.

362
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 3: More on that in a minute. My takeaway from watching

363
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: all this it was like, dude, what are these people doing.

364
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: It's like going down to cracker Barrel and saying, can

365
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: I get a large order of cornbread? So we don't

366
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: have any corn bread, We'll give you some cornball. That

367
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: was a lot of hokey pokey, a lot of hockey

368
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: stuff there. It was a thirty minute variety show the

369
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: Dodgers put on. Did anyone want this? Was anyone looking

370
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: for this? Did anyone say this is what I need?

371
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: Thirty minute variety show before the baseball game. They had pyrotechnics,

372
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: fighter jets, magic Johnson. I guess they couldn't find any

373
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: Dodger legends. So they brought a Laker legend out. They

374
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: had celebrity cameos, they had all of it. The only

375
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: thing missing was the gong from the Gong show.

376
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: They didn't have the gong. Where was the gong?

377
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: Because I'm sure the people in charge, they clearly believe

378
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: that on its own just having a baseball game, having

379
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: a baseball game is no longer no longer good enough

380
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: for human consumption. You have to dress it up.

381
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: And all that.

382
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: And I'm watching all this, I'm like, well, you're supposed

383
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: to be a high end steakhouse, like a really ritchy steakhouse.

384
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a state house so ashamed of their porterhouse,

385
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: so embarrassed by their porterhouse. They they're like, listen, we're

386
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: going to serve sparklers, and we're going to have a

387
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: karaoke bar and we'll do some dancing, and that's how

388
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: we're going to do it.

389
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 3: Now.

390
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: Of course, the broadcasters who are on the on the payroll,

391
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: they're compromised. They fonnd oh, it was great, and they

392
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: might as well have been landing on.

393
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: The moon and landing on the moon and it was

394
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 3: just kind of a weird, just not for me. I

395
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 3: admit it. It's not for me.

396
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't really enjoy that kind of stuff. Some of

397
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: you guys love it, and that's for you. That's for

398
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: the casuals. I think for you, for the casual it's great.

399
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful woo man. Look at that Will Ferrell

400
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: in a blue a blue Cadillac driving on the field.

401
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: That's great. That's absolutely. They would have had Larry King

402
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: he's dead. Unfortunately, couldn't get Larry. He was unavailable across

403
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: the Pearly gates, so I could.

404
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 3: Not get him right now.

405
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: Secondly, staying in LA, the Dodgers became a trending topic

406
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: before they took the field, before Will Ferrell drove Freddie

407
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: Freeman and Miguel Rojas around the field.

408
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 3: Why well, it.

409
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: Wasn't because they have anything Otani did or Yoshinobu Yamamoto

410
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: on the mound. No, Instead, the Dodgers became yet again,

411
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I this is like the fifth or sixth time. It

412
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: feels like in recent weeks the Dodgers have become a

413
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: trending topic for screwing over their fans. It's wild. It

414
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: is absolutely wild, and no one calls them out on it.

415
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: And I understand why. There's some reasons that I can't

416
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: get into, but this is rather crazy. This latest thing,

417
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: the latest humiliation is next level. So the Dodgers' concession

418
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: prices started getting passed around. There was one item in

419
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: particular that people were losing their mind, losing their mind over.

420
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: So the Dodgers are offering a value meal this year.

421
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 3: So the value meal.

422
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: Is too hot dogs, two soft drinks, and a helmet nacho.

423
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: How much do you think that costs?

424
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: Two hot dogs, two soft drinks, and a helmet nacho?

425
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 3: All right, you got a number in your head.

426
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: Okay, that will be very affordable for thirty five dollars.

427
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: That will set you back thirty five dollars. It's very affordable.

428
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: If you manage a hedge fund, it's very affordable. The

429
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: concession prices in general were They're just so outrageous across

430
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: the board. They've always been bad. It just seems like

431
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: this year is next level. My favorite, my favorite is

432
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: the soft serve nine ninety nine, ten dollars for a

433
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: little small cup of soft serve. This is like a

434
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: stupid test, like are you how dumb are you? Are

435
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: you gonna pay twenty dollars for a craft beer or

436
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: are you gonna go to somewhere and buy.

437
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: A whole case of craft beer?

438
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: All right, So the question do you have any advice,

439
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: any advice to the Dodger fan on how to deal

440
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: with the clear price gouging. It's not even up for

441
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: debate anymore. It's like they're just like, we're a luxury Brian,

442
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: we're a rodeo drive. No, you're a baseball team. Okay,

443
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: we're a rodeo drive. We're gonna screw our fans, Okay

444
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: you are. So my advice is in honor of the

445
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers the fans that go there, I recommend the.

446
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: Clear doggie bag. Doggie bag.

447
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: Yes, bring your own food or better yet, just eat

448
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: before you go there and then eat after.

449
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: That's what you do.

450
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

451
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 3: It is a tradition unlike any other though. This is

452
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: I'm telling you.

453
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm blown away by that. I know people work over

454
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: there and they even are blown away. So the people

455
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: I have talked to, they're like, yeah, they got it,

456
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: and they got no. You know, they don't want to

457
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: go How high can you go? And we're talking about

458
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: master's level greed? Except I guess this is it's processed meat.

459
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are not just selling base ball. I

460
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: really believe that they're conducting a social experiment to see

461
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: exactly how much dumb money a human being will surrender

462
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: for the privilege of eating a bowl of lukewarm nacho

463
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: cheese and a poorly cooked hot dog and some soda.

464
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: So I did some math on this, and I was like, well,

465
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 3: this seems oury. So if you went to.

466
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: Costco for thirty five dollars, a dollar fifty gets you

467
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: a hot dog and a soda pop, So that'll set

468
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: you back. You get thirty five bucks, you get over

469
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: twenty three hot dogs and drinks at Costco. At Dodger Stadium,

470
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: you get two hot dogs, two drinks, and a bowl

471
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: of lukewarm nachos for the same.

472
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: The same price of my godzos. It's so bad, it's great.

473
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: They really what they've done is they weaponized your lack

474
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: of self control. They know that you're like, well, I

475
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: don't go to a lot of games. It's rare and appropriate,

476
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: so I am fine getting my wallet taken from me.

477
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: And it's not even about hunger.

478
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: It's about the sheer hutzpa, the sheer hootspa of just

479
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: like our customers are just ATMs and that's it, and

480
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: they just happen to be wearing the merch. It's an

481
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: emotional tax. Twenty dollars for a craft beer. Okay, that's

482
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: not an adult beverage. That is a liquid insult at

483
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 1: that point. And I have a dream now, not as

484
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: good as Martin Luther King, but I have a dream.

485
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be great if everyone I know this is

486
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I'll just throw out there anyway. If

487
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: everyone just stopped buying the crappy food for one homestand

488
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: and they were buried in ten thousand, you know, not

489
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: ten toime'd be one hundred thousand rotting Dodger dogs out

490
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: in the parking lot because nobody bought them. Oh, it'd

491
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: be so great, be beautiful. It would be smelly, you know,

492
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: it'd be smell. I would be smelly. Instead, we keep

493
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: seeing these dingle berries continuing to buy, and that's why

494
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: the prices keep going up, like people enjoyed being fleeced.

495
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: It is a fascinating flaw in the human wiring that

496
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: that people think that it's just well, that's just a

497
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: price you got to pay for it. Well, you don't

498
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: have to, and you're just an easy mark, is what

499
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: you are. It's unfortunate, and it's like this weird thing

500
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: where it's like you're the sucker and you got this

501
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: toxic relationship. It's pretty wild.

502
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 3: All right. Now, Uh, final flight we go.

503
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's go around the around the diamond and

504
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: it's twib notes this week in baseball, Well not quite.

505
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: Let's crank up the claw machine and grab some of

506
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: the other headlines. And uh, here's the question, what else

507
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: caught your eye around the majors and what was the.

508
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: Real first opening day?

509
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: Not that little appetizer between the Higants who didn't even

510
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: show up against the Yankees. So in Cincinnati, the Red

511
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Sox a workman like when they they were hitting the

512
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: ball pretty well against the Reds and Garrett Crochet he

513
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: avoided what I call the hangover. Not that kind of hangover,

514
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: you dope. No, I'm talking about the fact he got

515
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 1: lit up in the Grapefruit League. Garrett Crochet had an

516
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: ERA of over seven and there were some people whispering,

517
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were whispering that. And Crochet went out

518
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: there after a bad spring, and granted it was against

519
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: the Reds, which is not a good team, but he

520
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: still was the ace of Diamonds. Six shutout innings, had

521
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts, gave up three hits, a couple of walks,

522
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: and Roman Anthony who played well in the World Baseball Classic,

523
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: although not the final at bat, he had a three

524
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: hits so also a crucial challenge there late in that

525
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: game that helped expand the lead pad the lead there

526
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: for the Socks. A lot of good pitching in Milwaukee.

527
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: There was a juicy bite of watermelon as the miss

528
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: got it done.

529
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: Jacob Missoski, these.

530
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: Young candidate this year out of the gates fast for Milwaukee.

531
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: As he was on the mound there the miz gave

532
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: up a home run to the first battery faced and

533
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: then settle in and I believe he has a Brewer

534
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: Franchise record now eleven strikeouts over five innings in one

535
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: run ball and the Velocity Horrors were very excited about that.

536
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: He was thrown in the high nineties, so they were

537
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: all excited. I have one hundred and one and the.

538
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Only mark on that game, and those only one is

539
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: it was against a minor league team, the White Sox.

540
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: I believe they're from the Pacific Coast League. Now, so

541
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: it's you got to temper your excitement when you do

542
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: that against the White Sox. Let's do it against the

543
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: big league team and then we'll see how that goes

544
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: now elsewhere the Orioles. Is this a bounce back season

545
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: for the Oriols. Trevor Rodgers locking up the pathetic Twins

546
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: and he got to win.

547
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: He pitched well last year, so that's a shocker.

548
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: How about this though, Pete Alonzo did not get a

549
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: hit in his Orioles debut and Gunner Henderson, those guys

550
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: combined to go zero for seven. And on the other side,

551
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan a solid start from Minnesota.

552
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: And every time he pitches, it's just a showcase.

553
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: Right, We're just we're just waiting for him to end

554
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: up with the Dodgers, the Yankees of the Red Sox,

555
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: one of the usual suspects, Joe Ryan, who will at

556
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: some point this summer be traded before before August, before

557
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: August in San Diego, Oh are the Padres back to

558
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: be in? Those are my Padres? When I worked in

559
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: San Diego, hey sucked. They were down eight nothing against

560
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: the Tigers. Tigers are good, but eight nothing, that's embarrassing.

561
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: Isn't it all right?

562
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: Anyway?

563
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: Somebody named Kevin McGonagall. I don't no idea where that

564
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: is because he's a rookie third baseman. And how about

565
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: having a debut four for five, couple of doubles, a

566
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: couple of ribbies, and two runs scored and the Tigers

567
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: get an easy win. The only thing here that I

568
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: would say, because I can't be totally positive, I got

569
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: to mix in negativity, is Trek Scoubele, the ace of aces,

570
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: who's trying to get one of those five hundred million

571
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: dollar contracts after the year in free agency.

572
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: He was not overpowering. He was not overpowering.

573
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: He didn't need to be podres are not that great

574
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: and so he didn't need to be that guy.

575
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: But he was not. That was not the guy that's.

576
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Gonna get the four hundred million, five hundred million dollar

577
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: contract in that game.

578
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. About

580
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: that to the third degree, This is one big Ben

581
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: gets grilled blue.

582
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: In a video posted Wednesday, the Florida Attorney General demanded

583
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 6: that the NFL suspend the Rooney Rule. He said that

584
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 6: the NFL's use of the Runey rule violates Florida law

585
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 6: by requiring race based considerations and hiring, and that refusing

586
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 6: to suspend the rule would result in quote in actions

587
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 6: against the league for race based discrimination.

588
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 3: Ben, what do you think comes of this?

589
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: Well, we mentioned this the other day, and it really

590
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 1: depends on how much Florida wants to press it, right,

591
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: because they, you know, they can make their own laws

592
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: and all that.

593
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: I've always been told.

594
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: That businesses can make their own rules at private businesses,

595
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: and the NFL is a private business, but they're in

596
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: bed with the you know, the government.

597
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: So it's a complicated.

598
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: It's more complicated than a mom and pop operation. It

599
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: really depends on how much the people in Florida want

600
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: to press it because they have three teams there and

601
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: all the owners have houses in Florida because they don't

602
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: want to pay taxes. So it's a it's a complicated situation.

603
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 6: Next, in a recent podcast appearance, Steelers legend James Harrison

604
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 6: admitted that he's trying to lure Joe Burrow to Pittsburgh.

605
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 6: He also claims that Burrow is going to talk to

606
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 6: since the owner Mike Brown to see what he needs

607
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 6: to do to get in the Black and gold be

608
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 6: are you buying any of this?

609
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: No, but it could clickbait.

610
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: James Harrison's he's want to you know, he's a podcast

611
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: another ex jock with the podcast, and so you get

612
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: clicks and people are curious about that. No, Joe, why

613
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: would he want to go there? The Bengals don't win.

614
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. The Steelers haven't

615
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: won in a while either, and Tomlin is gone, so

616
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: who knows what they got?

617
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 6: Now?

618
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: You know it's a Mike McCarthy's not no, no bull

619
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: of cherries.

620
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 6: Next, former NBA champ Richard Jefferson's making the case that

621
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 6: JJ Reddick should be NBA Coach of the Year. He

622
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,480
