61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: go to the diamond kind of kind of.

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: The business of baseball.

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: The business of baseball, well, Major League Baseball shockingly has

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: ruffled some feathers.

65
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: What did they do? Did you see this?

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: No?

67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: What's the final weekend of the regular season. The curtain

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: comes down on the regular season on Sunday. The playoffs

69
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: start shortly after that, and we have learned that Netflix

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: is going to be the exclusive home to Major League

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: Baseball's opening Day in twenty twenty six.

72
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: It features the Yankees and the Giants. To say, well,

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: what do we care about that? Ben, It's I don't

74
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: care about that, all right, So it's in prime time.

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: Let me just explain why this is a big deal,

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: because it's another pay tier for Major League Baseball and

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: there are large factions of fans that are diabolical over

78
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: this news, very upset offended by this. So let us

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: discuss the question, do you understand why a large percentage

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: of baseball officiaat UZ are upset with the addition of Netflix.

81
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: So my views on this one, I've got Jeffrey Dahmer, Tornado,

82
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: and Windy's and we will combine all of these things together,

83
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: every single one of them, and we'll go to.

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: The dark underbelly of the news is what we're going

85
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: to do.

86
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: So, first of all, this is everything that is wrong

87
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: with the Rob Manford regime. Has anyone been a worse

88
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: commissioner than Rob Manford in Major League baseball. A lot

89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: of these guys are bad. Like Rob Manford. It just

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: doesn't care about the fan. He sticks it to the

91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: fan at every chance he gets. And you've taken the

92
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: most every day sport. I remember we used to have

93
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: this guy in Michigan, Judgmental John, who used to be

94
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: one of my regular callers in a previous generation of

95
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: the show, and Judgmental John would call up and he

96
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: would complain to me, said, man, you know there's too

97
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: many baseball games.

98
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: I can't watch all the Tiger games.

99
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: And I said, John, you're not supposed to. Like, if

100
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: you're a real baseball fan, you don't watch every game.

101
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: It's Baseball's there when you need it.

102
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: You know. It's like if you're lucky.

103
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: Enough to come from a good family and you've got

104
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: a good mom and a good dad, or maybe an

105
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: ann or an uncle, but somebody that you can depend on.

106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: You don't need them all the time, but they're there

107
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: for it. That's baseball, right. I don't sit and watch

108
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: every Dodger game, but when I want to watch a game,

109
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 2: I know it's going to be there. Most everyday sport,

110
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: it's the background music to the summer. It's part of

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: the beauty of baseball, and Rob Manford has turned what

112
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: has been symbolic with being a baseball fan knowing, Hey,

113
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: if I want to watch a game on a Tuesday night,

114
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: I know where the game is. And now it's a

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: scavenger hunt. And it's been this way for a couple

116
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: of years. It's not getting better, it's getting worse. Baseball

117
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: is supposed to be about routine. You know where to

118
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: find your team's games. You're a fan of your team,

119
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: you want to watch your team play, and now you

120
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: are spinning the roulette wheel. It's platform roulette, especially like

121
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: if you're a Yankee fan or Dodger fan. But we'll

122
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: focus on the Yankees because this is a Yankee story.

123
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: So I want to watch the Yankees. Let's see, I'm

124
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: gonna I gotta watch the Yes network on Tuesday. Now,

125
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: Wednesday they're on Amazon Prime, and then on Thursday it's

126
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: gonna be Apple Plus something.

127
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Then Friday is.

128
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Gonna be on Netflix, and then on Saturday it's gonna

129
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: be on Fox, and then on Sunday it'll be on NBC.

130
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: So you need a tech support hotline or a special website.

131
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Just to let people know where to watch the games.

132
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: It's it's fragmentation fatigue, That's what it is.

133
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: It's like going to a deli. And we've all been

134
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: to these delis, right, every town.

135
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: Every I shouldn't say every town, every big city has

136
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: a legendary Usually it's a Jewish deli and they've got like,

137
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: you know, forty pages of the menu, and I always,

138
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm always amazing. I go in there, it's like there's

139
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: like ninety percent of this stuff. Nobody's ordering. They're ordering

140
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: maybe some soup, some pastrami sandwhich why do you have

141
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: all this crap? But you just throw your hands up,

142
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: he say, I screw it.

143
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, what am I gonna order? I

144
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: have just too much stuff? Or the cheesecake factory said

145
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: the same thing.

146
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: But the golden rule of business, the golden rule of

147
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: business is what it's to make it easy for the

148
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: consumer to find your product. And here's how I relate

149
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: to Like in my business, I do the radio show, right,

150
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of people that can't listen overnight.

151
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: I like to say they graduate from the overnight, so

152
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: they work the dread to day shift. And I've been

153
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: very fortunate, been doing this a while and a lot

154
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: of the people that work the overnight shift for a while,

155
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: they become fans of the show, and they're able to

156
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: still listen to the podcast, right because it's easy to

157

166
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be like Jeffrey Dahmer. I'm gonna I'm gonna

167
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: be the Jeffrey Dahmer playbook. I'm gonna cannibalize the TV packages.

168
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna chop them up in a little bite sized

169
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: piece is and serve them to the highest bidder. And

170
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna tell the fans to lick the play clean. Yummy,

171
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: yam me to my tummy.

172
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: Tummy.

173
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: Now, behind closed doors, major League Baseball things that they're

174
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 2: pulling a moneyball, moneyball for media rites and I'll tell

175
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: you what's going on. This is what I've heard. No

176
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: as I understand it, maybe I'm wrong, but this is

177
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: what I've been told. So Major League Baseball is fully

178
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: aware that the TV business has changed a lot, that

179
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: they're not gonna get the monster TV contracts. Those are gone,

180
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,359
Speaker 2: the mega mega, mega, mega mega millions from ESPN, Fox, TBS.

181
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: They're not dropping billions and billions on baseball like it's

182
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight. So baseball strategy is to be, well,

183
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: here's what we're going. We're gonna recreate big TV money

184
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: in the aggregate.

185
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what the nerds do when a

186
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: star player gets hurt.

187
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: Well, we can't replace leg If Otani got hurt, the

188
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: Dodgers been like, well we can't replace Otani, but in

189
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: the aggregate, we could have three or four players play

190
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: better and then we can. So Baseball's like, all right,

191
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: we'll get some millions of dollars from Apple, maybe ten million.

192
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: We get twenty million over here from Netflix. We'll get

193
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: thirty thirty five million from Peacock. We'll get some more

194
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: money from Fox, we get some money from NBC. And

195
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: they think if you add enough scraps together.

196
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: You can cook a steak. You can't.

197
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: There's only one problem with that for the fan. That

198
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: state cost hundreds of bucks a year. It's annoying, and

199
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: it's rubbery, there's too much fat in it, and it's

200
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: not cooked properly, and you're gouging your most loyal customers.

201
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: That's Rob Manford. That's the epitome of Rob Manford screwing

202
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: the fan. He had a chance to punish the greatest

203
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: cheating scandal of baseball history.

204
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: He did nothing. He did nothing.

205
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: The as one two one thousand holes from Houston cheated

206
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: in the World Series. In the World Series, people forget

207
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: about it. There was also a player that made a

208
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: racist gesture in the dugout, and Rob Manford chose not

209
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: to suspend him during the World Series.

210
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: He waited until next season to suspend the guy.

211
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: He's so bad.

212
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: He is so bad, Rob Manford. But this is the

213
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: next chapter, right.

214
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: The ghost Runner is like all the dumb stuff that

215
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: Rob Manford's done, but sticking into your loyal fans. And

216
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: there's no stat that measures how annoyed the customer gets

217
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: clicking through eight different apps just to watch a damn

218
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: Yankees game. On a Tuesday night. Instead of making the

219
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: game accessible, accessible and all that, they're running this weird experiment.

220
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: And it's like, who's gonna blink first.

221
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: It's a game of Chicken, Mark Chicken, the fans canceling

222
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: subscriptions or the owner's cashing checks, and when the audience drops,

223
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: and they will drop, they're gonna act all surprised, like

224
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: I didn't see this one coming. I don't understand. I

225
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 2: do not understand. I don't get it. Turning the page

226
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: on that to college football. That's right, the rare, inappropriate,

227
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 2: rare and appropriate mention of college football.

228
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm excited for Saturday.

229
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 6: I am.

230
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have a show that day. I

231
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: got the podcast, but the Fifth Hour podcast. But I'm

232
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: jones up. We got a really good card to games

233
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: on Saturday in college football.

234
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: So Kirk herb Street is back entering the chat. He

235
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: thinks that.

236
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: College football needs a commissioner, like they didn't see this

237
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 2: coming a.

238
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Mile you know, a mile away.

239
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: If you didn't see this coming a mile away from

240
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: herb Street.

241
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: Now this weekend, me let me set this up.

242
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: So the college football pundit who's pretending to be an

243
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: NFL pundit. He was commenting on We've got Alabama Georgia

244
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: on Saturday. I believe that's an ESPN game, and then

245
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: LaVar Arrington's Penn State will be taking on Oregon and

246
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: that'll be taking place simultaneously.

247
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: I think that's on I believe that's on NBC.

248
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: Anyway, who cares whatever it's at the same time anyway,

249
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: So Herbstreet went on some podcast and said, Hey, I

250
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: got the solution to this. This is not great two

251
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: marquee matchups conflicting with each other.

252
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: So here's what he had to say.

253
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 7: It's another example of why we need eventually a commissioner's office,

254
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 7: like the NFL has a commissioner's office, right, and there

255
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 7: are a lot of different layers to what that office

256
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 7: could do. Obviously in this NIL and portal era and

257
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 7: the realignment era, I think the biggest thing that I

258
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 7: think sometimes as a guy who eats and breathes college football,

259
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 7: there are some weeks in college football where it's just

260
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 7: there might be one good game, and there are other

261
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 7: weeks like this week.

262
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: You could argue this is the greatest weekend of the

263
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: entire year.

264
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 7: Starting Friday night, there's good games. Yeah, and then from

265
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 7: game day and then after game day noon eastern all

266
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 7: the way. If you're crazy like me, you'll watch BYU

267
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 7: in Colorado at ten fifteen they start, and that'll go

268
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 7: to whatever one in the morning.

269
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: And you're thinking, I don't know. What he said was

270
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: the commissioner stuff. That's the important stuff, right, So he said,

271
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: we need a commissioner, and essentially what he wants is

272
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: centralized scheduling, like an authority who would prevent blue blood

273
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: programs to use the Jeffrey Dahmer line again, cannibalizing each

274
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: other's audience. So the question for the esteem panel do

275
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: you agree or disagree with Kirk kerb Street? Would a

276
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: quote commissioner fix what he says are the problems with

277
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: college football schedule?

278
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: So my first thought on this is here we go again.

279
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: It's Groundhog Day every year Kirk kerb Street for the

280
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: last I don't know how many years it's been. It's

281
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: been a number of years.

282
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: Herb Street at some point comes out and he goes

283
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: on this same crusade.

284
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: It's the hill he wants to die on.

285
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: The college football needs a commission, They need a commission,

286
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: and blah blah, blah blah.

287
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: Every year.

288
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: He pulls this out of the moth balls every year,

289
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: and I'm telling you, okay, I'm telling you it's never happening.

290
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: Whether you think it's a good idea or not, it's

291
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: not happening, not in my lifetime, not in your lifetime.

292
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: This isn't the NFL. It's getting to that, but it's

293
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: not there. And the main problem you have is the

294
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: Southeastern Conference believes there's nothing better than Southern fat football.

295
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing better.

296
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: And then the Big Ten says, hold our beer because

297
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: we go from coast to coast. The Big Ten's like,

298
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: come on. So the SEC and the Big Ten are

299
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: not giving up an ounce of power.

300
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: They are at the very top of their own kingdoms,

301
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: and those are pretty good kingdoms.

302
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: And Herbie is talking about it like it's this magic

303
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: placebo and it'll fix everything, like if you just had

304
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: one guy in charge, poof all the problems go away.

305
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: No no no no no no no no no no

306
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: no no no. This isn't going to solve anything. In fact,

307
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL has a commissioner. And yet if you

308
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: look at the schedule, people complain, why are there so

309
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: many games at the one pm Eastern TV window.

310
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: And I can't keep track everything.

311
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: Why don't you spread them out and play some games

312
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: during the week and all that stuff. The other issue

313
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: here college football my entire life. And I'm not the

314
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: biggest college football fan, but I do consume it. We

315
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: don't talk about it much because of the way the

316
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: schedule works for our radio show. But college football is

317
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: built on a tornado of chaos.

318
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: That is the charm, that's the uniqueness of that sport.

319
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: You're supposed to have three or four insane Saturdays where

320
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: there's five monster games going on at the one time,

321
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: and your right hands getting a workout, and if you're

322
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: completely transparent, Kirk kirb Street is not really worried about

323
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: the fan.

324
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: He's not worried about the fan. He's worried about the

325
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: TV ratings.

326
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: He doesn't want eyeballs siphoned off from his game.

327
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: If he's doing Bama Georgia.

328
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: He doesn't want you watching Penn State and Oregon on

329
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: NBC at the same time. Guess what, Kurt, excuse my

330
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: French se La vill that's life, right. You don't get

331
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: the hog all the oxygen. Other people get some of

332
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: the oxygen and a commissioner cannot tell the Southeastern Conference

333
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: when to play and where to play, can't tell the

334
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: Big Ten.

335
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: The same thing. These are billion dollar cartels. They just start.

336
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: They're not gonna listen to anyone.

337
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: If anything, they're expanding their empires. They're not centralizing their empires.

338
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: And Herbstreet can clutch his pearls all he wants. It's

339
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: not gonna change all right, final fuck quick, right, it's

340
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: staying in college football.

341
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: So coach Lincoln Riley, SC's actually off to a decent start.

342
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: Could they actually be good? I don't know.

343
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: We'll see have a seemingly soft game tomorrow. But Lincoln

344
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Riley is not thrilled about USC's early kickoff as they

345
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: play the early TV window against the Fighting a Lini

346
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 2: in Champagne or Beta. So going on is a quote

347
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: here he said, going from the absolute latest kick in

348
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: the country, Lincoln Riley said, to the absolute earliest kick

349
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: in the country.

350
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: You're talking about. Last week they played Michigan State the

351
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: late game. Now they play the Fighting Alini in the

352
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: early game.

353
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: They have to travel, he said, it's challenges, but the

354
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: challenges like it is what it is. He said, we

355
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: don't make the schedule. Clearly, he grumbled, all right, question,

356
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: what message is Lincoln Riley sending to the USC players

357
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: in that locker room about the schedule. So Lincoln Riley

358
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: makes a lot of money, but it sounds like he's

359
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 2: got a part time job over at Windy's and he's

360
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: running the frosty machine at Soft Serve.

361
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: It's a tough turnaround early game booing, boo freaking out.

362
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: You know what the old generation would have said, Oh

363
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna do boomer radio bell, just bear with. For

364
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: about one hundred years in football, there was this machismo

365
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 2: where you'd say, we'll play anybody, anytime, anywhere, on asphalt

366
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: behind a Sam's club, next to the swing set, on

367
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: a patch of broken up concrete. Strap it up, let's go,

368
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: let's do it. Man versus man. You don't complain, it's unbecoming.

369
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: You don't complain about the clock. You beat the clock.

370
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: What kind of message is Lincoln Riley sending to his

371
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: players here instead of saying, Hey, this is a badge

372
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 2: of honor. Adversity makes you stronger. Let's show everyone that

373
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 2: we're not the same old Soft USC and we can

374
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: roll out of bed.

375
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: And smash the line eye at nine in the morning

376
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: West Coast time.

377
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 2: Instead, he's giving them a built in, baked and excuse

378
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: before the game's even played. That's loser talk, baking in

379
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: the alibi. And so another example of times have changed.

380
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: Back in the day, coaches would treat this as again

381
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: a challenge, a test of toughness, get you ready for

382
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: big games later in the year. He's supposed to be

383
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 2: a program with national title aspirations, and you're head coach

384
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: there the men of Troy is crying about an early

385
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: cookoff time. That is a red flag, is what that is.

386
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: And this is the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like

387

00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: And here's the Mallard Riddle of the day.

394
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers did a blank before nailing

395
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: the game winning field goal on the Thursday night game. Again,

396
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: Seahawk secker Jason Myers did a blank before nailing the

397
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: game winning field goal on Thursday Night Football. That is

398
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: the Mailer. We're realer love today the answer. We'll get

454
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: the day.

455
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: Although I did see a message from our big Yankee fan, Jill,

456
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: she's a Minnesota slubs the Yankees, says, of course I

457
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: have all the streaming networks, but Opening Day is unfair

458
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: to Michael kay and all the broadcasters and fans. She says,

459
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: awful announcers on these other networks, absolute worst. Yeah, that's

460
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: another thing that Rob Manford and Baseball did not that

461
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: the the real fans of the team. They love their

462
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: local broadcasters. They don't want some other jamoke doing the games.

463
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: Time now though, for the Mallor Riddle of the day,

464
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: and here it is. Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers did

465
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: a blank before nailing the game winning field goal on

466
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: Thursday night as the clock ran out. That is the question.

467

508
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: However, I I heard that that was not actually bas Salts.

509
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: There was something else involved in that story. The guy

510
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 2: in Miami or Florida that ate somebody's FeAs, But it's not.

511
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't actually, they determined later I heard about this

512
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: and it wasn't.

513
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,359

00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Hello John, Welcome, Thank you.

519
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 6: Ben Herbie is talking about a college football commissioner because

520
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 6: he wants to be the college football commissioner. He's trying

521
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 6: to invent the job for himself, like Cliff, like Cliff

522
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 6: On cheers like Cliff.

523
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: That's a good line, though, I like, I do remember,

524
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: I do remember that. But but no, why would he

525
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 2: want to be the commissioner. You're not going to make

526
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: as much money. You know how much money ESPN's paying

527
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: him to do all these college football games, and Amazon's

528
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: paying him to do the He wouldn't make that much

529
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: money as a commissioner of the college.

530
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 6: Football Roger Goodell makes fifty million dollars a year. Then

531
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 6: I don't think Kirk is making that much.

532
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: The college football is not going to pay. First of all,

533
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 2: they'll never be a commissioner.

534
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 6: If he did get the job, Ben and everybody was

535
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 6: the first day he comes to Big the Big Boss,

536
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 6: and he watched him with his little doggie.

537
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love I love John.

538
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: I love dogs, but I'm a little tired of his dog.

539
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 6: It's a little much, right.

540
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 4: You know.

541
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: Can't we show up to work without a dog? I

542
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: do the show without my dog. I I love my dog.

543
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, dog will dog grown?

544
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: Now I get it. Like we have a moving man

545
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: Matt and his dog Louis, but he's.

546
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 2: In a truck by himself. All I get that. But

547
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: if you're Kirk Kurbsa, what are you doing? And how

548
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: do let me ask you this? How like what most hotels,

00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: They don't take dogs, do they?

551
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 6: Apparently if you're rich enough they will.

552
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

553
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 6: I'm not saying that they do. Yeah, and again, I'm

554
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 6: not rich. I'm not staying there.

555
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: Anyway neither am I.

00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: To make sure that we take a bad call, let's

559
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: go to hollering James in Minnesota. Hello, Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minius,

00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

565
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: So I mentioned this earlier, the sixty eight percent. This

566
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: is a fascinating story. So there's a guy named Ryan Williams,

567
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: which is a very generic name. You do not want

568
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: to be named Ryan Williams if you're famous, because it's

569
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: not a memorable name.

570
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: You need a nickname. So Ryan Williams is a very

571
00:29:53,920 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: good football player at Alabama in tuscal Looosa, Alabama, and

572
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: he mentioned.

573
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: Recently that he has decided to delete social media from.

574
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: His life after he averaged.

575
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: How many hours a day on his phone. Let's see,

576
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: let's go around the room here. Don't cheat, don't cheat,

577
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: don't go create, don't through the old Eddie and go

578
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: create Lorena through a round robin here, how many hours

579
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 2: do you think Ryan Williams, a football player at Alabama,

580
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: spent on his phone before he decided that I've got

581
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: to stop doing that.

582
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 9: Eight hours and forty seven minutes straight.

583
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: Then, thank you for the exact number. I do appreciate that.

584
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: Kooper loop.

585
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 5: Ten hours.

586
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 10: All right, Okay, good guess good guess?

587
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 9: Ah, guess why?

588
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

589
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: I know I know the answer, I know the answer.

590
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: It turns out that Ryan Williams averaged eleven hour hours

591
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: a day on his phone. So I did the math

592
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: on this. The average person sleeps eight hours a day,

593
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: so that means you're awake. If there's twenty four hours

594
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: in the day, that means you're awake sixteen.

595
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: Now I'm using malor math on this, and of.

596
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: Course time is a human something humans created, so who

597
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: knows if it's accurate. But sixteen hours you're awake if

598
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: you sleep eight hours. So if you use your phone

599
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: eleven hours a day, that means sixty eight point seven percent.

600
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: Of the day you're on your phone. Almost seventy percent

601
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: of the day you're on your phone.

602
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 10: Now, maybe, yes, I want to say something about this

603
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 10: because I've thought about this before, because I average close

604
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 10: to seven hours a day.

605
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: But oh my god, I also use.

606
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 10: YouTube while I shower and that counts as phone time, right,

607
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 10: Listening to podcasts on my phone.

608
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 9: Podcasts on my phone also count as usage.

609
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 10: Right, And then yeah, so I think that takes off

610
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 10: at least at least an hour and a half from

611
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 10: my seven hours of screen time.

612
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: So you're five and a half hours?

613
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 9: Is healthy? A healthy five and.

614
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: A half hour? You think that's helpy?

615
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, because I'm also doing research.

616
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

617
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: She's researching? And how many likes her last post?

618
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: Guy?

619
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 9: Those numbers, I'll tell you what.

620
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: Oh boy, look at that. Uh, I'm trying to think.

621
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how much time I spend on my

622
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: I phone.
