Seaton. 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:42.720 We got a pull question for our two. Did we 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.880 have one for hour one? You know, I don't know 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.280 if we ever put one up. We got a bunch 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.760 of suggestions. Okay, um, we have would you rather be 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.240 good at two things or great at one thing? Love show? 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.680 Hey toy, so would I would I rather be so 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.800 get good at two things? We're great at one thing? Okay? 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.920 Do you have an example? You could be a good 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.440 pitcher and a good hitter or you could be a 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:12.919 great at one of those two things. Okay, I would 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.480 like to be good at two things. Given the salaries 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.720 in Major League Baseball. If I'm a good hitter and 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:24.440 a good pitcher, chances are I'm probably making fifty million 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.680 dollars a year. Or would you even get that far? 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:37.880 You're not great at one thing, You're good, Okay, I 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.560 see what you're doing. Yeah, yeah, okay, all right. I'd 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.160 have to be great at something for them to then 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:49.480 allow me to be good at something, right, feels like right? Right? Right? 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.040 How about do you prefer sporting events in the afternoon 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:58.520 or evening? Well, I like a World Series game in 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:03.800 the afternoon. Ah. Yeah, I don't want to be greedy here. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.680 We talked about an afternoon you know, it used to 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.080 be when we were growing up, there'd be a after 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.600 school special, it'd be a movie, would be a hokey 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.600 movie with life lessons there. And I like an afternoon game, 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:22.960 a national average afternoon game, and I would have Nickelodeon 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.160 produce it, and I would just make it four kids. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.280 That that's You know, if you're a hardcore baseball fan, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.960 you know you're not gonna be offended by what you see, 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.800 but you're gonna have fun with this and and maybe 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.320 you you know, you got to bring in a younger audience. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:45.440 You know, you explain the rules, the subtleties, the nuances, 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.880 you have some fun social media, you have some younger announcers. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.720 Maybe you have you know, a boy or girl who's 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.040 an on the field reporter. Whatever it is, just do 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.560 what Nickelodeon did with football. But you know, one day 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.760 like Wednesday, Every Wednesday is afternoon, you know, after school 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.280 special major League Baseball game of the week. Four kids, 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.320 just say that's what it is. It's it's directed for 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.519 you and just see. You know, maybe they I've maintained 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.680 for years now that teams, I don't know why they 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.519 don't do this is just get them get people into 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.600 the ballpark. If you're a struggling franchise, how about this 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:34.120 section is you know, two dollars, bring your glove, you 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.120 get in free. Whatever it is, do something where you 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.440 kind of create an atmosphere that you get to experience 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.000 a baseball game in person. I still remember the first 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.280 game I ever saw was spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona, 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.520 and I got a chance to see Willie Mays and 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.240 was fascinated that they had a player named Heyzu Salu. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.440 And my dad kept saying, you don't call him Jesus, 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.920 And I said, but it's spelled like Jesus. He goes 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.840 his name is Jeseus o Loo. I was fascinated. But 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.760 I got to see Willie Mays and I got and 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.880 I think it was nineteen sixty four and in Scottsdale, 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.280 So I never forgot that that I got to see 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.920 a game in person, the sounds of it, the smells 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.599 of it, the announcer, the foul balls, and it was 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.920 spring training. Get him into the ballpark. And this might 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.560 be get you into the experience the world of watching 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.920 a game on TV, because it's it can be a 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.479 task sometime to watch a baseball game all the way through. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.000 Have it fun, dress it up, let's see what you have. 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.680 Try something different there one day a week after school's 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.240 special Major League Baseball. Yeah. And if you go back 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.880 to the eighties, both WGM with the Cubs had a 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.760 superstation and Atlanta Braves had a superstation. I watched a 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.680 lot of Afternoon Brave. Even though I'm a Cubs fan, 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.760 I saw a lot of Braves baseball. When I got 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.680 home from school because it was on it was available 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.880 nationwide all the time. There are a lot of people 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.760 who light the Cub even though the Cubs stunk for decades, 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.560 because it was available after school to them. And you 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.040 bring up the Cubs. The Cubs were the lovable losers, 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.560 and it felt like America wanted the Cubs to win 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:18.279 a World Series. The Cleveland Indians to heartbreaking losses in 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:23.120 World Series to the Cubs, and also the Marlins. Kind 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.360 of root for the Now Guardians to win. But I 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.279 had somebody say to me, you can't help it. Root 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.080 for the Detroit Lions. I go, why, Like they'd never 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.920 been good enough where it's heartbreaking. Don't you have to 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.320 have that heartbreak before we go? Like the Red Sox, 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.320 Oh my god, decades and decades they lost all eighty 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.640 six with Bill Buckner, Bucky Dent, you know, all of 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.240 this stuff. But they kind of throw it in there 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.680 and it's like this big yarn of hardship. It just 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.760 keeps gathering yarn and then it becomes massive and then 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.080 we go, let's put them out of there, misery. Let's 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.920 let them win it. Like the Lions haven't been good 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.839 enough where you go, yeah, it's their turn. It's their 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.080 time now. If you said the Atlanta Falcons losing twenty 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.400 eight after being up twenty eight three, all right, I'm 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.240 good with that rejemption there. I don't know what other 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.839 NFL team where you go. You know, they've suffered enough, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.839 they deserve to win a Super Bowl. Yes, Buffalo Bills, 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:28.440 they ding ding ding, and Minnesota Vikings like you would say, 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.800 I think Buffalo Bills, you go, but now they're a favorite. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:36.880 Now it's different Vikings. I don't know. People think back 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.920 to the Purple People Eaters when they lost four Super Bowls. 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.160 But those are franchises that earn the right for us 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.719 to root for you if you have no rooting interest, 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.920 But the Lions don't. Yeah, I'm mar and sometimes as 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.800 a fan, I remember my grandfather specifically saying, man, I 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.680 like John Elway, but I just don't want to see 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.440 them get embarrassed in another Super Bowl, not lose, just embarrassed. Yeah, 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.880 and so yeah, maybe is it like the fear like 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.280 but the Lions. I think Fritzie said, I was like, 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.200 the Lions haven't done anything to make you even think like, oh, 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.760 remember that game in ninety one where they were up 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.760 and they lost. They don't have any of those really, Yeah, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.720 they haven't been close enough to have that heartbreak that 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.360 we then invest in you. Yeah, see, and they had 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.600 a Hall of Fame quarterback, they had a Hall of 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.880 Fame wide receiver. They have, you know, it's not like 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:29.240 they haven't had a decade of you know, great players. Yeah, Okay, 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.800 And it's interesting you bring that up. Did a little 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.280 research here. Matthew Stafford's going to the Hall of Fame, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.080 Barry Sanders is in the Hall of Fame, Calvin Johnson 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.600 is in the Hall of Fame. How many franchises have 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.760 had a quarterback, running back, wide receiver all go into 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.720 the Hall of Fame. The Detroit Lions will be on 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:53.280 that list. And that list includes the Dallas Cowboys who 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.760 had two variations of that, Troy Aikman, Emmett Smith and 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.640 Michael Irvin. They also had Rogers stallback, Tony Dorset and 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.880 Drew Arson. The Colts they had Peyton Manning who did 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.400 it with edun James and Marvin Harrison. Also Peyton Manning 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.679 with Marshall Falk and Marvin Harrison, Johnny Unitis with Lenny 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:17.680 Moore and Raymond Barry, Kurt Warner, Marshall Falk, Isaac Bruce. 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.040 Buffalo Bills did it with Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, Andre Reid. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.760 They also had James Lofton. The Steelers are in there, 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.920 Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, John Stalworth, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:38.000 John Stalworth, Lynn Swan, the Dolphins, Bob Greasy, Larry Zonka, 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.880 Paul Warfield, the Jets. Although it's not fair to put 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.640 John Riggins wasn't a great player with the Jets. He 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.800 became a Hall of Famer with Washington, so I wouldn't 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.959 put the Jets in there with Namath, Don Madard and 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:55.520 John Riggins. The Lions are on the list. The Lions 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.280 got three Hall of Famer at the skilled position players 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.120 position quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and they have nothing 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.400 to show for it. Now you might say, did they 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:12.120 play together at the same time. You know, Barry Sanders 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.640 had Scott Mitchell as his quarterback. He had a variety 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.960 of quarterbacks there. Calvin Johnson did play with Matthew Stafford. Yeah, 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.600 we were talking about Hall of Fame and Hall of 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:28.280 very good. Matthew Stafford is for sure Hall of Famer. Yep, yep, Yeah, 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:34.719 won the Super Bowl, wonted in Los Angeles. Absolutely, if 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:38.880 Philip Rivers had done that, he'd be a Hall of Famer, guaranteed. Yeah. More. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.440 But I don't think Matthew Stafford was as good as 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.240 Philip you know what. Sorry, sorry, you keep going. I'm 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.200 not big on Matthew Stafford being a Hall of Famer. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.079 I think he's a Hall of very good. He's got 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.240 like one Pro Bowl meeting. Okay, but we would always 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.360 say this, and Matthew Stafford's good, but the Lions aren't 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.800 any good. We never said the Lions aren't good because 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:03.400 Matthew Stafford's not good. You could say with Philip Rivers 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.160 in the playoffs sometimes it would be on Philip Rivers 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.800 that they weren't going to win. So does him being 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.200 really good in Detroit help his case? Like, man, he 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.719 was just really good. He was just on a really 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.640 bad but he did stand out, you know, being a 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.720 good player. They're always on Thanksgiving, so that was the 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.840 one game you got to see them play. But Matthew 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.240 Stafford's gonna be a Hall of Famer, yeah, Seed, would 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.520 you rather your team be, say like the Bills or 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.280 the Vikings? Where you've been to the super Bowl but 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.719 never won, or more like the Lions, I've never been. No, no, no, 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.640 I want to. I want to get so close that 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:41.760 it hurts so bad that heartbreak is yes, is great. Yes, yeah. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:46.079 I cried when the Orioles beat the Reds nineteen seventy 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:51.120 with Brooks Robinson, and I was so I did the 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.400 first baseman come up? Hug No he did not, But 0:10:55.520 --> 0:11:00.200 I just like, damn it, this guy Brooks Robinson, the 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.880 goofy batting helmet. He's killing us Seaton Hall in Michigan. Yeah, 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:10.800 Noamon still hurts sobbing Robinson absolutely, yeah, yeah, all right. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.800 But Matt Staffor in the Hall of Fame with the 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.199 with Detroit, he was seventy four and ninety as a 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.360 starting quarterback if you flip flopped it, and Tony Romoho 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.800 somehow got a ring with Dallas. Romo as a starter 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.440 in Dallas was seventy eight and forty nine, very good record. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.720 He had two hundred forty eight touchdowns one hundred and 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.800 seventeen picks. Romo no one even breathes his name as 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.800 a Hall of Famer, but if he got one ring 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.079 for the Cowboys, you'd have to write probably Yeah, two 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.000 hundred forty touchdowns, one hundred and seventeen picks, very impressive. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.160 Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to play in the preseason. He 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:48.000 had this to say yesterday. I definitely don't see any 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.240 benefits to play in one series. You know, if we're 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:55.079 gonna play, we should play and play a quarter, a 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:56.959 couple of series, two or three series. If we're gonna 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.040 just suit enough for four plays, to me, is a waste. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.160 So and I'm not saying this to send a message 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.839 to Matt. I've already told Matt the same thing. Yeah, 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.600 and so let's see what happens when we get there. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.960 It'd be nice if that were the case, if Ken's 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.880 City was playing some other guys too. I get it. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.080 I mean, I know, you got to get dressed up, 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.280 taped up, get ready to go, go through the whole 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.920 process there Now that I think is valuable to just 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.360 get into the moment of preparing for a game. But 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.000 you get to that point where you know you you 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.800 prepared for the pop quiz and there's no pop quiz, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.520 and then you're like, oh what am I doing here? 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.080 That's sort of what this is. Hey, go out there, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.800 we got a pop quiz. You're gonna play a couple 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.959 of series and that's it. Now. If he gets injured, 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.320 then all of a sudden, people are gonna go Matt 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.120 La Florida, like, what are you doing? So I think 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.520 Aaron knows should he be out there? No? Does he 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.880 need to be out there? No. Rick Stroud, our buddy 0:12:55.880 --> 0:13:00.320 who covers the NFL for the Tampa Bay Times, was 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.240 He tweeted this morning, the Dolphins and the Buccaneers are 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:08.439 having a joint practice today, a scrimmage. Well, the dolphins 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.319 new head coach Mike McDaniel was asked about the awkwardness 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.400 of scrimmaging the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week after the 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:20.320 Dolphins were sanctioned for tampering with Tom Brady, and the 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.720 new head coach said, for me, nothing happened. Everyone else 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:30.800 is making it awkward and he's right, Hey, I had 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.720 nothing to do. It not awkward for me. I'm all good. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:40.680 Is it awkward for Brady? I don't think Stephen Ross 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.680 is at the joint scrimmage there today. That'd be great 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:49.200 if he was. They finally got they finally got Brady 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.560 in the building, or at least close to it. Premier 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:58.079 League Saturday, Christiano Ronaldo, oh, and Manchester United head to 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:03.800 Brentford Premier League mornings. I don't even know where Brentford is. 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:12.240 It's in England, so I didn't I didn't think it 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.360 was a store like Ronaldo was going to Brentford's. Oh 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:19.920 what's he picking up? Obviously not shirts because he doesn't 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:24.680 wear them. Uh, Brentford. I didn't even know Brentford was 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.880 in the Premier League. Have they been in it for 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:34.200 a while there Bentford Bees? Yeah, point Brentford is about 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.240 an hour or so west of London. That doesn't mean 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:42.400 anything to me. I've been to Brighton, Okay, that's coastal right, Yes, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.920 it is brightonhole alby end. I take the I took 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.040 the train out. You get off the train and it 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.000 feels like you go down a steep hill right to 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:56.800 the water. Went there and uh, I wanted to play 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.200 pinball in Bizar Yes, because the who's saying, abo up 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.280 a deaf, dumb and blind kid?

Do they take advantage of 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.840 the Pinball Wizard? Like? Is there tourism around it? Not 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.440 that Ivius aware of because like, what's that song? Uh? 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.800 Stand on the corner in Winslow, Arizona. I think that 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.920 they take advantage of. Yes, if you go to Winslow, Arizona, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.480 there is a pickup truck, Yeah, like a rock and roll, 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.080 an old pickup truck, and they take advantage as a 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.040 roadside stop out west. Yeah. I haven't been to Winslow, Arizona. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:57.120 It's about an hour west of London. Chris Berman would 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:02.360 always go to oh Man.

Want to guess who the other 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:28.879 player is Babe Ruth did it in nineteen eighteen. Let's 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.600 see what else does it feels like? If there's ever 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.680 a stat about Otanni, it has to do with Babe 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.360 Ruth or he's included in the stat. Otani has three 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.479 hundred and seventy nine career strikeouts as a pitcher one 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.160 hundred and eighteen home runs. The only player to reach 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.480 both those milestones is Babe Ruth. Yeah, you got it. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.400 So the next closest player with at least one hundred 0:19:54.440 --> 0:20:00.119 eighteen home runs and had forty three strikeouts. One of 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.840 these guys played back in the late eighteen hundreds early 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:09.400 nineteen hundreds, but Babe Ruth is usually the other player 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.119 involved when it comes to Shoheyutani. Yes, paul I was 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:13.960 looking back at Babe Ruth stats. We talked about this 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:19.119 a few months ago. Over Rated. He was a pitcher 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.680 for his first four seasons, like a full time pitcher, 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.280 and he was the best pitcher in the game, or 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.560 one of them. He had thirty five complete games in 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.080 one season. He's twenty four thirty. But then he stopped 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:32.720 being a pitcher around nineteen nineteen and was a full 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.560 time hitter. He only crossed over for almost a year 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.800 and a half where he was pitching and hitting full time. 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.280 You know, his records would be way bigger than Otani's 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:42.920 if he stuck with it. But none of the stories 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.000 about Babe Ruth's really talk about the details of why 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.639 he stopped pitching, because unlike he was an average pitcher, 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.720 he was top three in the game. Well when did 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:54.000 they realize, God, that guy can really hit. He won 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.159 ninety games I think in his career as a pitcher. 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.359 In nineteen seventeen, he won twenty four game games at 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:04.239 the pitcher and he also had he had only one 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.040 hundred and twenty three at bats. He was twenty two 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:08.760 years old, so he was pitcher, not a hitter. Yet 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.359 the next season he had three hundred and seventeen at bats. 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.440 Nineteen eighteen, he hit three hundred with eleven home runs. 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.480 Those eleven home runs led the league, and the next 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.480 year he was just went crazy hit three twenty two. 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.600 Who knows what those baseballs were made of back then, 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.840 because these things now, I mean, you get they're tight. 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.080 You know he's pitt he's hitting you know, something that's 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:36.240 basically string wrapped together. But yeah, yeah, but he's thrown 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.280 to a bunch of plumbers and fire mas. JJ Reddick 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.280 might say, you know, babe Ruth, Yeah, who's he playing 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:47.000 against a bunch of plumbers and firefighters. Aaron Rodgers, by 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.960 the way, has a big goal that he wants to 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.960 win another Super Bowl. I don't say this as a cliche. 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.880 I say this as heartfelt as I can. I want 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.800 to win a championship. I've had all those individual success 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:03.480 I could possibly ever have dreamed of accomplishing. I've got 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:06.680 four MVPs. I'm an honorary black belt. I'd like to, 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.840 uh to win another super Bowl. That's most important. Everything 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.760 else would be just purely icing on the cake. Honorary 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:19.360 that is great. If he just throwing that in I'm 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:25.840 an honorary black belt, that's great. That made that sound 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:30.880 bite special. Uh, wouldn't it be interesting if you said 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:33.160 you now, my goal is not to win another Super Bowl. 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.320 My goal is to be a better lover. Like to 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.879 stay with that. You know, I'm planning on open up 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:47.359 an ayahuasca farm. Yeah, yes, morph When I first when 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.199 I first heard the sound, He's like, I got four 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:55.880 of youps. I'm honorary belt belt. Okay, Oh, all right, see, 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:02.360 oh you heard it differently than we did. Marginally, I'm 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:07.359 an honorary black belt. Okay, all right, okay, I hear you. 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:14.600 That's funny, that is funny. All right, Yes, Pauli, we're 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:16.040 going back to I got I have a poll question 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.800 off what we talked about. All Right, If the Buffalo 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.239 Bills and Detroit Lions played in the Super Bowl, who 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:24.560 would you root for? Neither of them are to our teams. 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.840 If you didn't have a dog in the fight, Lions 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:32.920 or Bills, I would root for the Bills. I'm picking 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.000 the Lions to make the playoffs, but I don't know 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:40.440 who America would root for. Because the Bills are a 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.000 favorite this year. They might be the favorite to win. 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.240 But he got four super Bowl losses. Now, granted, nobody 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:50.800 was on the team that was playing now, but the 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:59.960 franchise itself, great fans, Bills mafia. But you're a favorite now, yeah, 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.879 you know. See. Sorry, just to quickly go back to 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:05.720 the honorary black belt thing. Apparently it's a huge honor 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.240 no joke. It's like a real thing that people have 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:14.240 gotten and that it's made headlines. When there have been 0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.000 certain world leaders who have been stripped of their honorary 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:20.760 black belt, and it was like controversial. How do you 0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:23.680 get said honorary? I think you have to be it's 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:27.480 like an award. You have to be like a like 0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:30.360 a Nobel Peace Prize or something almost maybe not quite 0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:34.359 that significant. But can you imagine you're about to get 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:35.920 in a bar fight you hey man, watch out, I'm 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:38.840 an honorary black belt. Yeah. Even just like the there's 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.280 even articles about do you agree with honorary black belt 0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:45.040 within the martial arts community. It's a controversial topic. It 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:49.720
