If they know me, though, 80 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 2: then they know me on a personal level, and they 81 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: know what my peers think of me.

So my observations, I've 94 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: got Sovereign Nation, Rhino and Ronald McDonald. 95 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: And we will combine all of. 96 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: These things together and we are going to move off campus. 97 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: Is what we're going to do, off the campus of 98 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: the Malad Militia. 99 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: So say it with me now. 100 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: Number So, Tarret Scooble sounds like he's living in a bubble, 101 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 3: and it's possible he is. 102 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: He's very wealthy, He's gonna make. 103 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 2: A lot more money, and he just lives insulated from everything. 104 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: And the Tigers have been pretty irrelevant for a while. 105 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: I know recently they've had some decent teams, but for 106 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: a long time, the Tigers were just a spam team 107 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: that people played. So the grumbling is a bit much. 108 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: The grumbling is a bit much, So leave Tiger Town. 109 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: Let me stamp your passport.

This is this is a 128 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: guy that just said, hey, it's not. 129 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: That big a deal. If it was that big a deal, 130 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: you would have pitched more. 131 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: Now I get it. I don't think it's that big 132 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: a deal either. I've been watching and some of it's 133 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: been fine. But it's listen, if you agree this is 134 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: a problem that Scooble doesn't understand. If you agree to 135 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: paint my house all right, you agree to paint my house. 136 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: And you come over.

He wanted to make sure that he 176 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: could secure the bag if he was going to get hurt. 177 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: He wanted to get hurt on company time, not on 178 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic time. And so fine, but just admit it, right, 179 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: don't play us for fools, And he said, well, my 180 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 2: agent wouldn't let me in the tie.

Now, 192 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: as a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of nostra 193 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: Denis will former friend, former friend until the super Bowl, 194 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: we have seen the future. We have seen the future, 195 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: one of the great soothsayers of our time. So all 196 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: of that vitriol, all that hater rade, all those nasty 197 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: posts online, people calling radio shows, you're an American, You're 198 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 2: a turncoat. 199 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: All of that that is fuel. That is jet fuel. 200 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: You take that online? 201 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: Hey, half a witch is probably bots anyway, it's just 202 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: bot army over from Maldova. And okay, so you got, boss, 203 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: you got there's some real people in there. And just 204 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: let that bake in the sun. Let that get really 205 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: crusted from the sun and it hardens up. It forms 206 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: this very thick, unpenetrable rhinos skin. Get that rhino skin, 207 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: and Scoob's gonna need it. He's gonna have to fuel 208 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: that gulf stream. And here's why, because he eventually, after 209 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 2: this season, will test the free agent market. 210 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,479 Speaker 1: And he'll sign one of those monster. 211 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: Eight year, six hundred and forty million dollar contracts with 212 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: the LA Dodgers and he'll then be paid out what 213 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: eighty million a year, most of it deferred. Last check 214 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: will come in on the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary 215 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 2: in one hundred years of the United States, and that'll 216 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: be that. And you know how the Dodgers operate. The 217 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: criticism that Schooble's getting here and all that, that's just 218 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: a preview of coming attractions. It's a light sprinkle compared 219 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: to the burn, baby burn. If you end up signing 220 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 2: with the Dodgers, not final point staying with baseball. So 221 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: there's still some noise about Mark de Rosa. I want 222 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: to get back into this, the nonsense, and the reason 223 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 2: I want to get into this, and it's still got 224 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 2: legs is because of a stunt that Major League Baseball pulled. 225 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: And I'm a little taken aback by this because it's 226 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: been this way for at least seventeen or eighteen years, 227 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: if not longer, if not longer in my book, in 228 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: my book, So Major League Baseball pulled the clip where 229 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: Mark DeRosa famously said prematurely the team USA had punched 230 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: its World Baseball Classic quarterfinal ticket, and so they pulled 231 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: that and then surprise, it was back now thanks again 232 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: to the Italians. The USA did advance to the quarterfinal. However, 233 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: DeRosa's team he rested some people and they looked some 234 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: of those guys looked like they may or may not 235 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: have been hungover, hungover and went out there and lost to. 236 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: A undermanned team representing Italy. And so. 237 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: That stunt, that stunt by Major League Baseball to try 238 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: to pull the thing and everything here, that's what I 239 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: was talking about, say, oh my god, this is MLB's 240 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: website and this is what they did. So the question 241 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: where are you at on Major League Baseball's now you 242 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: see it. Now, you don't vanishing act with Mark Deuro's 243 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: says clueless comments. 244 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: So when I saw this, and I'm not a consumer. 245 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: Of MLB dot com, I very rarely go there. I 246 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 2: just it's not that I hate it. I just not 247 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: in my rotation of things to look at. It's kind 248 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: of been running on fumes. So uh, when I saw this, 249 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: I was like, well, that's like it's like a frat 250 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: house prank. And I was like, let's go out and 251 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: steal the Ronald McDonald's statue at Mickey D's and we'll 252 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 2: put it in the dorm and then we'll take selfies 253 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: with it, and then when the campus police show up, 254 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: we'll sneak it back and pretend nothing happened. 255 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: Wasn't us, we didn't do it. 256 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: And now the media, a lot of these media elites 257 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: are outraged. I can't believe that Major League Baseball, the 258 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: bastion of baseball journalism, would do this and then delete it. 259 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: And yeah, so I say, well, is this the Great Awakening? 260 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: Are we looking at the Great Awakening? 261 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: Is this now where people realize that andfl dot com, 262 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: MLB dot com, NBA dot com are just pr people. 263 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: No chance, no chance, this is the Great Awakening. This 264 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: is just a blip. MLB Media is run by MLB. 265 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: It's been that way since the very beginning. It's state 266 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: funded media with a baseball logo on it. 267 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: It's rainbows and lollipops. 268 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: What did you think you were going to get at 269 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: MLB's website, a blizzard and a cocktail of bleach. 270 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: Come on, when he's. 271 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: Not prancing around playing manager in the dugout for Team USA. 272 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: Mark de Rosa works for MLB Network. 273 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: Hmm. 274 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: Things that make you go hmm. 275 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: They're all sleeping in the same bed, they're sharing the 276 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: same pillow, and you're shocked that the coverage is softy 277 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: mixed soft. And keep in mind that it is state 278 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: sponsored journalism in the blueprint has been around since the 279 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: late nineties. I was told, I've talked about this in 280 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: the past, by somebody that worked for a Major League 281 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: Baseball team, that this was the vision. There was a 282 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: time when there were a bunch of these things called newspapers, 283 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: and they all had a couple beat writers that covered 284 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 2: the hometown team, and they were critical and all that, 285 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: and the people that baseball said, this guy said, listen, 286 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: our plan is we're going to have you know, in 287 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: twenty years, we are going to have people just feeding 288 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: out of the. 289 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: Palm of our hand. 290 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 2: And while the older generation might not buy into it, 291 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 2: future generations that's all they're going to know, and they'll 292 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 2: just believe anything we tell them. And sure enough, it's 293 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 2: been over twenty years, it's been posted to thirty years now, 294 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: and that conversation one of the most memorable conversations that 295 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: I've had. That long term vision board of Major League 296 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 2: Baseball has become reality control the message, massage the fans, 297 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 2: and then hope that nobody notices the strings on the puppet, right, 298 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 2: the strings. 299 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: On the puppet. And for the most part it's worked. 300 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 2: We have the younger generation of fans, it's all they know. 301 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: They've been indoctrinated in that any better, so I can't 302 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 2: rip them. 303 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: That's all they know. 304 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: They like it Rod Team way to go, so exciting. Yeah, 305 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: that's what they want. That's what they want. So that's 306 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: what Baseball's website gives them. And so anything negative just 307 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: kind of. 308 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: Make it go away. 309 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: You know, if a star player gets caught up in 310 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: a gambling operation, just don't talk about it, or just downplay. 311 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: You know, somebody's doing a line of coke off of strippers. 312 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: Act ask just don't talk, don't bring it up, you know, let's. 313 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: Leave it alone, you know that kind of thing. 314 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: Anyway, it is the Ben Mallor Show as we roll 315 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 2: on here through the overnight hours, whistling in the dark, 316 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: just whistling in the dark.
