28
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: another night of the world. So is do we have

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: live baseball action right now? No, we do not have

30
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: any live baseball action right now, but we start out

31
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles or a top of mountain looking down

32
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: on skid row the Dodgers and the Blue Jays back

33
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: at it. Less than twenty four hours after the eighteen

34
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: inning thriller in Chavez Ravine and Toronto was looking even

35
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: the series up in Game number four right there, big

36
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: stage here. Man, it was a massive so important. We

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: had live music for it. La a huge pitching advantage.

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: If you looked at the matchup, you said, Okay, that's

39
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: a win for the Dodgers, chuck that up for a win.

40
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: You had Shane Bieber representing the Canadians and Sho Hail

41
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: Tani for the Doyers, the greatest player ever to play

42
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: the sport. Of baseball. You cannot lose. You cannot lose

43
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: a game started by the greatest player, God's gift to humanity,

44
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: show hail today. You cannot lose. That's why they play

45
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: the games. So if you didn't see it, I assume

46
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: you know by now we watched, so you would not

47
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: have to. It's our good mits of the day. But

48
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: Flattie is your daddy, and he walloped a two run

49
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: homer off God's gift of baseball, show Hail tany in

50
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: the third inning there and Shane Bieber, of all people,

51
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber, the Beabs went out there and pitched four

52
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: hit ball into the sixth inning, into the sixth inning,

53
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber, who's got like a terminator arm. Unreal, unreal,

54
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: and Toronto gets back on track. They get a six

55
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: to two win over the Doyer's Addison Barger adding a

56
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: couple of hits and an RBI for the JS and

57
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: don't look down, but Toronto has reclaimed home field advantage

58
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: and we are guaranteed that the World Series will end

59
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: on Canadian soil at the Rogers Center in downtown Toronto

60
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: right there. At some point this weekend, the World Series

61
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: will come to an end there in that fine city.

62
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: And that is a good jumping off point because Dave

63
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: Roberts better storing the losing locker room. And so Dave

64
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: Roberts addressing a very pathetic Dodger offense here and the

65
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: question and Roberts insinuating that there's going to be some

66
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: changes to the Dodger lineup heading into the next game here,

67
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: game number five of the World Series. So the question

68
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: is what has gone haywire? What has gone haywire for

69
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts and what was billed as the big blue

70
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: wrecking crew at Dodger linup. So my thoughts on this,

71
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: I've got Ripley's believe it or not, Super Nintendo and

72
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Checkered Flag, and we will combine all of these things together.

73
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: We're gonna put them in a food processor. We're gonna

74
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: pick out whatever comes out of that food processor. Man,

75
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: is it going to be delicious. So a the Dodger

76
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: offense has been offensive, Let's call it like it is here.

77
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: They got the names, they don't necessarily have the games

78
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: they don't. It's been far too many weak performances by

79
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: the Dodgers the entire postseason, which is shocking. It shows

80
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: you how great the Dodgers must be, because they're in

81
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: the World Series two wins away and they haven't played

82
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: well on offense pretty much the entire postseason since the

83
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: wild card round. They're well below they being the Dodgers,

84
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: well below their regular season domination, and even that was

85
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: below what they were supposed to be. It is carried

86
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: over the Toronto Blue Jays doing what the Brewers could

87
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: not do. A contact heavy lineup of Blue Jay hitters here,

88
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: opportunistic bullpen exploiting the soft underbelly of the Los Angeles Dodgers,

89
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: and something again Milwaukee was unable to do. And yet

90
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: here we are and Toronto is doing it at this point.

91
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Although they're not winning the series. The series is tied up.

92
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: It's now a best of three and Toronto has home

93
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: field advantage yet again. But La has gone from the

94
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: big blue wrecking crew with all these amazing names, and

95
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: they still have the names, but now they're like a

96
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: wet noodle, like a pool noodle, a blue pool noodle

97
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: is what they are right there. And so the offense,

98
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: which has been billed as a nuclear reactor, right now

99
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: it's a dead battery and they need some jumper cables

100
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: because it's not going well. And it's not just one guy.

101
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: It's not just one guy. This is as the line goes,

102
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: and all encompassing suck is what's going on right now

103
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. Pete Rose the long gone, well, not

104
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: that long. You can die that long ago. But Pete

105
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Rose was asked to describe his philosophy. The All Time

106
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: hit King was asked to describe his philosophy on hitting,

107
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: and he said, I believe it was six words, see

108
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the ball, hit the ball. Boom, that's it. See the ball. Ball.

109
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: So maybe the Dodgers need to go to the eye

110
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: doctor because they must not be seeing the ball. They're

111
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: not really hitting the ball at all. The boys in Blue,

112
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: the Dodgers here, they're not stringing together hits. Everyone's treating

113
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: it like batting practice, trying to hit home runs here,

114
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and they can't even fake it at this particular point.

115
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: The four to twenty one ops for the Dodgers in

116
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: the postseason. Now, I didn't play in the major leagues.

117
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: I just do an overnight talk sho. I don't think

118
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: that's good. Oh, you're being too critical. The boys are trying. Okay, great,

119
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: that's congratulations. If you want that kind of contempt, sure

120
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: that guy David Vassa does. The Dodger post game will

121
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: lick the toes of all the players, despite massaging Mookie

122
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Bets right now as we speak. But that is not

123
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 1: a slump, by the way. That is who you are

124
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: this postseason. That is who the Dodgers are this postseason.

125
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: It's also a cry for some kind of intervention. They

126
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: might want to bring in some major league tactics and

127
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: put a shrine up in a locker and get a

128
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: little statue burned, some sage in the locker room or

129
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: something along those lines. So the Dodgers making some washed

130
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: up blue jay pitchers collectively looked like the ninety five

131
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves with Glavin Maddox and Smoltz, Bang bang bang,

132
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: just like that. Now, Mookie Bets, I'm gonna start with Mooki.

133
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: We talked about the Dodgers' offensive problem. I want to

134
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: start with Mooki Bets. And here's why. Because everyone tells

135
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: me that the resume matters. Y'all tell me that. So

136
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Mooki Bets is an MVP, he's an eight time All Star,

137
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: He's won a bunch of Silver Slugger Awards. I'm told

138
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Right now. He is like an

139
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: old NFL kicker, mister automatica. In this case, he's an

140
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: AUTOMATICA out. He's on Highway one fifty eight. Mookie Betts

141
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: is batting a buck fifty eight. He's an automatic out.

142
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: He needs a map, he needs a GPS to find

143
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: his way. My got Mookie Bets ball. You know, at

144
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: this point he belongs in a museum, Not the Hall

145
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: of Fame, Mookie Bets. He belongs in the please Believe

146
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: it or Not museum, the freak show department right next

147
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: to Lobster Boy. You can have the human corkscrew. I'm

148
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: telling you, it's like a corkscrew. He might be trying

149
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: to kill some kind of bugs, maybe some mosquitoes or

150
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: something like that. That's why he's swinging the way he

151
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: is and just not trying to put the ball in play.

152
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I'm not hitting home runs right now,

153
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: and this is I was called the bad guy. Let

154
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: the record show this hot take validation, Hot take validation.

155
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: I got killed. Two monologues upset the Dodger fans more

156
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: than anything this year. The Clayton Kershaw one. I'm still

157
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: getting crap about at the end of the year when

158
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: they had the mock funeral of Kershaw, they dug up

159
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: the mound. It was unbelievable. It was like he was

160
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: a dinosaur and they dug up the bones. And then

161
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: also the Mookie Bets sucks monologue, which was completely accurate.

162
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: One hundred games in terrible and all the fanboys, the

163
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: cheerleaders there, the Dodger marching and showers is Saudi very upset.

164
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: You shouldn't say that. Is it true? Yes, but you

165
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't say that. But it's true. I know it's true,

166
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: but you shouldn't say that. Oh my god. Sorry. Mookie

167
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: bat sucks right now. Nineteen at bats, three hits, zero

168
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: extra base hits in the playoffs for rookie bats. He's

169
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: a punch and judy hitter at this point, and they're

170
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: paying him like he's prime. Tony Gwinn back in the

171
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: day and Barry Bonds love child with Tony Winn or

172
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: something like that. And then you've got the I would

173
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: say Comodo dragged him the room, but that's being too kind.

174
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: You've got the rat in the room, the big vermin

175
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: in the room. That would be Andy Paez of the Dodgers.

176
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: The Dodgers would actually be better off, and this is

177
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: rather shocking with a Pez dispenser. If they had a

178
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Pez dispenser at home plate, they would be better off.

179
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: At this point, Andy Paez is on Highway sixty seven.

180
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: He's hitting oh sixty seven in the World Series. He's

181
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: doing the full Michael Conforto cosplay. Now, Michael Conforto was

182
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: the guy that Dodgers added, was supposed to be a

183
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: big bat in the lineup, and is so horrific that

184
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: he can't get near a batter's box in the in

185
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs here because he's just talks, and that is

186
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: Andy pis. He's been completely overmatched. He's he just lost late.

187
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: He needs to contact someone over at Baywatch because he's drowning.

188
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: At this particular point. It's bad, real bad, and they're

189
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: leaving them out to dry. Dave Roberts is leaving them

190
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: out there. The guy's shown you he can't play. He's like, well,

191
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: we can't play, and Roberts keeps saying it's not rob

192
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: it's the nerds because they don't believe that there's a

193
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: thing called the slump. They don't think that every game's

194
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: individual and all that stuff and lack of confidence is

195
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: not a thing. And so here's the guy drowning and

196
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: he's continued to be and there does sound like Roberts.

197
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Finally after losing another game in the World Series, it's like,

198
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: all right, well, the nerds have told me that I

199
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: can put somebody else in there, so we'll do that,

200
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: and they Andy Poz can get a one way ticket

201
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: to cam Kun or some other nice tropical location if

202
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: you would like. And it's not just those guys you got.

203
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: Will Smith had the big home run in Game two

204
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: in Toronto, hadn't done much other than that. Max Muncy,

205
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: what's going on? What's wrong with him? We not good either.

206
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: They're both kind of in the witness protection program most

207
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: of these games in the World Series, so that's where

208
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: we are. And Roberts, it keeps running out the same

209
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: lineup because that's what the nerds tell him to do,

210
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: and you know, he's just the middle manager and that's

211
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: what he does, and he just sends them out there.

212
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: And now, as for the pitching, there's a lot of

213
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: people I could rip for the pitching, but I'd like

214
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: to focus in because I've limited time, as you know,

215
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: because it's a network radio show. So I would like

216
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: to focus on Blake Trining. Now, Blake Trining should be

217
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: put on an exploratory rocket out to Mars, never to

218
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: come back. Holy crap. I'm convinced that the Nerds and

219
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts that Blake Tryon has photos of them because

220
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: he keeps getting into these games. It's unreal. Another guy

221
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: that has shown you he's washed up, he can't play,

222
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and he keeps getting in these World Series games has

223
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: an eight thirty one earned run average as a reliever

224
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: in the postseason eight thirty one earned run average. Blake

225
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: trying to He's cooked, he's burned. It's horrific. It's like

226
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: knowing you're going to pour gasoline on a tinderbox. Who

227
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: would do that? Dave robertson the Nerds, that's who does it.

228
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: And so it's like you watch a guy that keeps

229
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: hitting the self destruct button and makes things worse when

230
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: he comes in out of the bullpen, and like he

231
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: keep saying, well, this time he hits the button, it's

232
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: gonna be confetti. Well no, it's not confetti trapnel, But

233
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,479
Speaker 1: next time it's gonna be confetti. But again it's trapnel,

234
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: but no, next time. Next time, it's enough enough and so,

235
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: and then you add that with the Dodger offense, who's

236
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a death star and it's a

237
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: dollar general is what they are now turning the page.

238
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: So I would like to adjust to me. And I

239
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: realized this is my pet peeve and no one else

240
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: has this dick. When I'm about to complain about nobody

241
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: else has, I'm the only one that is gonna get

242
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: on the bully pulpit and complain about this. But it's

243
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: my job to do it because I see bull crap

244
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: and I just have to yell. It's therapeutic. I just

245
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: bear with me, just just go with it. So the

246
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: story after the Dodger Blue Jay game, a game won

247
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: by Toronto to even up the World Series, was not

248
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: that Shohiltani didn't get it done. It's that it's not

249
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: his fault he didn't get it done. You feel me

250
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: on that. So Otani was zero for three at the

251
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: plate with two strikeouts, and he was also the losing

252
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: pitcher on the mound. He allowed you know, he was

253
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: pitching okay, and then he allowed the last inning and

254
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: there's some runs that gave but he ended up giving

255
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: up four runs Otani in six hits and he was

256
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: the losing pitcher. And ever since that World Series game ended,

257
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: it's been a couple hours, there has been NonStop media

258
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: working overtime to cook in the kitchen of excuses. So

259
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: the question for the steam panel, the question is where

260
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: are you at on the media going into the kitchen

261
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: and cooking up alibis for sho Heo Tani and his

262
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: World Series clunker. So the media fanboys and girls, all right,

263
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: here's some of the excuses. I jotted down a few

264
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: of them. The media has told us that the reason

265
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: Otani sucked in the World Series because he was tired.

266
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: They told us that he didn't get enough sleep, like

267
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: that it was hot and the eighteen inning game went long,

268
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: so he was too tired. The level excuse, my friends, here,

269
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the level of bull crap, like, what the hell is

270
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: wrong with you people? Seriously, can you imagine I don't

271
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: get much sleep at all during the week doing the overnights.

272
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: I should go to my boss and say, listen, just

273
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: the reason the show's not good. It's uh, I didn't

274
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: get enough sleep. Okay, that's good, that's perfect. But again,

275
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: the problem with Otan. I'm not anti Otani. It's gonna

276
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: sound like I'm anti Otani. I'm gonna get email. You

277
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: don't like Otani, you don't like No, I don't he

278
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: I like he's been built into baseball's demigod. Show. Hey,

279
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: Atani is Baseball's demigod. He is. He's half man, half

280
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: mythical lumberjack. And the minute that Otani looks mortal like

281
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: he most certainly did in this World Series game, instead

282
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: of just calling it like it is, it's like, well,

283
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: let's check his sleep IQ score. How much? How much

284
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: deep sleep did Otani get? Oh? My god? As for

285
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: the weather, it was a little warm. It was not

286
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: Phoenix Arizona warm. Okay, it was not Vegas warm. It

287
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: was not Death Valley warm. So what are we doing here? Okay? Yeah,

288
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: it's La baseball in October. It's still hot in La

289
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: in October. That's why people put up with the ridiculous

290
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: People's Republic of California taxation and all that crap because

291
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: of the weather. All right, And so you think Babe Ruth,

292
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: maybe he did. I don't know. I was alive when

293
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth. But you think Babe Ruth ever complained because

294
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: he didn't get enough sleep. Wasn't the legend of Babe Ruth.

295
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: There's this old guy named Bert Sugar died years ago,

296
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: boxing guy, a sports historian, and Bert used to tell

297
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: stories about Babe, the womanizing of Babe Ruth and the

298
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: drinking of Babe Ruth and the just the excess of

299
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: the Bambino. And they traveled by train and they'd be like,

300
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, random women chasing after Babe half naked and stuff.

301
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: Never got reworded. But anyway, so I don't think Babe

302
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Ruth complained about that. But see this is the problem.

303
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: Is the problem as I get on the Bully pulp.

304
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: But the media has built Otani into a Super Nintendo

305
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: cheat code, like just a Super Nintendo cheat code come

306
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: to life. It's like if a video game Avatar could

307
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: come to life. Here it is and then he goes

308
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: out there and again he looked very human in this

309
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: particular game. And you have to invent excuses out of

310
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: thin air to keep the dream alive. You got to

311
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: keep the fantasy alive. Otani is too big to fail,

312
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people invested in this. There's

313
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: a lot of reporters from Japan that have gotten on

314
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: the company dime there and they're free loading in America,

315
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: covering the Dodgers on a daily basis. There's a lot

316
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: of people that have Otani endorsing their products. Major League

317
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: Baseball's heavily invested in the myth of Otani. They need Otani.

318
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: They cannot have Otani fail here, and so he's not

319
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: going to be perfect in every game. But to me,

320
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: that weakens the legend. When you do crap like this,

321
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: it weakens the legend, and that's not cool. You don't

322
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: need a Greek chorus of pr hacks coming in here

323
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: and explaining, well, the reason that Zeus misplaced his lightning

324
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: bolt is you know X, Y and Z. You just

325
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: just say he's stunk, miakopa, he'll be better next time,

326
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: and that's it, right period, hard stop. You don't need

327
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. And it's like, are these real people?

328
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm not wired that way? Maybe I should be. Everyone

329
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: else seems to be making a lot more money than

330
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: me and they're wired that way. I guess I should

331
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: just be a kiss ass like everyone else in the media.

332
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: Holy crap, I just admit it, move on, and you

333
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: don't need to say, well, it's because you didn't get

334
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: his twelve hours of sleep. You imagine needing twelve hours

335
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: of sleep to function, Holy Canoli, My god. All right,

336
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: last thing, quick, right to the Toronto side of things.

337
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: So the Blue Jays get the win in La. They

338
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: had to do that. They lost home field in Toronto

339
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: in game two, so they had to win a game

340
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and they did. So how are things

341
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: looking for Vladi Guerrero's Blue Jays in the World Series? So,

342
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: as Larry David would say, pretty deep, britt deep, pritt

343
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: deep good, not bad, not bad. When you look at

344
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: the tailor of the tape, the Dodgers a big favorite,

345
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: as Viva los Vicki lects to tell us in the

346
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: World Series, I had big favorite and all that, but

347
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: you look at it, and if you look at the

348
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: tailor of the tape, the Toronto Blue Jays are matching

349
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: La punch for punch. Four games in to the World Series.

350
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Everybody told us that the Dodgers had all the momentum

351
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: from Freddie Freeman's dramatic eighteen inning home run. The eighteenth

352
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: inning home run, the marathon. It ended like a half

353
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: hour from now yesterday. So my god, but Toronto again,

354
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: they're right there, neck and neck. They're getting it done.

355
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: And they were supposed to be emotionally fried because the

356
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers had all the momentum. I'm right ready to pack

357
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: up the maple syrup and go back to Canada. Well

358
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: what happened. The Jays dropped the haymaker on the Dodgers,

359
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: and the reason there is no such thing as momentum. Oh,

360
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: he said it out loud. He said it out loud. Yep. Sorry,

361
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: Now the Jays are guaranteed to have the World Series

362
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: decided on their home field. They'll enjoy mama's home cooked

363
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: poutine and they'll get these skyline fireworks, the whole bit

364
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: right there, it's gonna be great. As far as the Dodgers,

365
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: maybe they'll find their offense. I think they left it

366
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: somewhere between La and Toronto so they can find it.

367
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: It looks like they're stuck in gridlock traffic at this point.

368
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: Good luck. But it is rather incredible that Shane Bieber

369
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna I've already gotten people. Well, it's fixed,

370
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, it's a scary, terry situation. Uh,

371
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: that guy Porter, you know it's all rigged. I'm not

372
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: going there because if that's the kid, why are we

373
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: even doing this? Like if that's if this is all

374
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: like scripted professional wrestling, Like what are we doing? I'm

375
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: as well just do something else, talk about some other

376
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: crap on the radio. I need to talk about sports

377
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: if it's all rigged. But that said, all right, that

378
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: said bieber Fever. Bieber Fever. In the World Series. He

379
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: was supposed to be weekend at Bernie's and the ghost

380
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: of cy Young passed Shane Bieber and he went five

381
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: plus innings and one run ball. That is an act

382
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: of God, is what You've gotta be kidding me. The

383
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers got emasculated by the corpse of Shane Bieber. That

384
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: is what in the Billion Dollar Boys Club and all

385
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: that four hits, It's rather unreal when you think about it.

386
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: That's why they play it. Even Mad Max that Suresy

387
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: should've gotten his ass kicked by the Dodgers, and he

388
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: didn't get his ass kicked. So the Jays they rolled

389
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: out a couple of Beater cars and somehow they have

390
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: at this point taken the checkered flag as they've matched

391
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: the Dodgers blow for blow in the World Series Grand Prix,

392
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: so they're they're right there. Unfortunately, Toronto did not get

393
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: the text message. They must have been on airplane mode.

394
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: They did not get the text message that they were

395
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: supposed to roll over and play dead in the World Series.

396
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: So again we're tied up to two. Home field goes

397
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: back to North of the Border and it's going to

398
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: be decided either way on Canadian soul. I just haven't

399
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: won a World Series at home since I think the

400
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, so they don't usually win at home. They

401
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: won't win at home this year. They might not win

402
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: at all, might not win. You know, it's mikes a

403
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: weasel word, but the way they're playing, the bullpen returned

404
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: to form. They suck and the offense sucks, so what

405
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna How do you win with that? How

406
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: do you win with a bad offense and a bad bullpen?

407
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: And they won again they shouldn't have won. So that's

408
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: where we are. So sticky situations like the Dodgers are

409
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: covered in syrup, Canadian syrup, and right now the day

410
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: is feeling pretty good.

00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: is coming Tuesday, the trade deadline. So we do the shuffle.

458
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: You gotta do the shuffle. Now we're talking about the

459
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: quarterback shuffle. Here is what we're talking about. And a

460
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: story has popped up which is out of the files

461
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: of the captain obvious Department of Sports Media. As we

462
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: inch closer and closer to the trade deadline, time is

463
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: running out, time is running out, and NFL teams have

464
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: to make those last minute moves the November fourth trade deadline,

465
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: and a quarterback has emerged on the market. Who is it, Well,

466
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: that would be Kirk Cousins, shaker of Yes, the guy

467
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: that went out there and wrote the vomit comment against

468
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. So he reportedly wants to start. He

469
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: realizes Atlanta loves them some Michael Pennix Junior, so they're

470
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: not that interested in starting him, even though he was

471
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: an emergency starter because Penex was hurt So the story is,

472
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: from what we understand, that the Falcon backup quarterback desires

473
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity to start elsewhere. Is that really a that

474
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: shocking that someone who's a backup wants to play. Okay, However,

475
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: they say that no trade appears imminent or eminent imminent.

476
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: Now why because Cousins is making so much money they'd

477
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: have to take money out of Fort Knox in order

478
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: to make the trade happen. And so that's a good

479
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: jumping off point. As we get closer to the trade deadline,

480
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question does a Falcon Kirk Cousins

481
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: trade budge the needle? Would a trade of Kirk Cousins

482
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: budge the needle in the NFL? So on this one,

483
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: I've got QBC, Drew Carey, and Spanish American War, and

484
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

485
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: are going to have a colossal good times. What we're

486
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna have? So number one, I said number one, Number

487
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: all right, I'm giving this one stink eye is what

488
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm giving it. Okay, Kirk Cousins, if you happen to

489
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: have the misfortune of watching him play quarterback this past

490
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: weekend against the Miami Dolphins. You know where I'm going

491
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: with this. Kirk Cousins had a showcase. He was in

492
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: the display case for the entire NFL to watch against

493
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: a pathetic, gutless Miami Dolphin team. Even Stevie Meatballs can

494
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: see how bad the Dolphins are this year. And what happened.

495
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: Cousins went out there and slipped on a banana peal,

496
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: He did a face plant and he essentially it was

497
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: on a live infomercial for everyone in the NFL. Everyone's

498
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: watching where they're gonna watch the tape afterwards against the Dolphins.

499
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: This was a segment on QVC. He was on the

500
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: home shopping channel. There and the phone lines, nobody called,

501
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: nobody called bat signa and Dad giveaway. There's just not interesting.

502
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: This was supposed to be Kirk Cousins come back concert,

503
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of beautiful throws. It was gonna be glorious, right,

504
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: a symphony for Kirk Cousins. Instead, it looked like an

505
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: open mic night at the local Applebee's on a Monday.

506
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: Did not go well. No touchdowns, no juice, a lot

507
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: of checkdowns, a lot of just blah blah blah blah

508
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah football now regardless, Right, here's the thing.

509
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: He's still a quarterback and he's gott He had success

510
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL, so somebody all we takes the bait. Now,

511
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: the question is would Atlanta be willing to do it?

512
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: They don't have to do it, and it's better to

513
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: get something than nothing. If you look at the contractual

514
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: situation of Kirk, Cousins' days are limited there now looking around,

515
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: as a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of nostra Denis,

516
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: you look around the NFL and there are a few

517
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: Lonely Hearts club members. When it comes to the quarterback position.

518
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: You're talking about the Raiders. Gino Smith can't play. The Browns,

519
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: they haven't had a quarterback since Bernie Cozar. The Saints,

520
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: where have you gone, Drew Brees or Lonely Hearts? Miss you?

521
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: Those teams are dumpster diving franchises. So it doesn't make

522
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. You're not going anywhere. Why would

523
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: you acquire a veteran, high paid quarterback at the trade deadline.

524
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: It's one of those things. It's like it's like being

525
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: on the dating app at one fifty eight in the morning,

526
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: and you know, you're not finding the one. You're finding

527
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: a one, but you're not finding the one. You know

528
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, looking for somebody to keep it warm.

529
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: That's essentially what those teams are looking for at this point.

530
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: This get us through the rest of the season. We'll

531
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: get a high, shiny draft pick and that'll be that.

532
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Well, when you continue to

533
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: look off in the wild blue yonder around the NFL,

534
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: you realize that there's only really two teams that have

535
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: any kind of intrigue when it comes to a possible

536
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins trade. Now, I'm going to make my elevator pitch,

537
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: and I want to see if you agree or disagree.

538
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: So those two teams are Survey says forty nine Ers Vikings,

539
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: that's it, that's all. That's not a list, Terry and England.

540
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: That's a big board. That is a big board, not

541
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: a list, a big board. So the forty nine ers

542
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: have Brock Purdy who's limping around and when he's played,

543
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't played that Well, now he's hurt, so he's

544
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: not playing and he got paid and all that, and

545
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: then so he got that and he's limping around on

546
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: one stick on one leg and it's like he's like

547
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: at this point, he's like a him and Mac Jones.

548
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: Mac Jones has been playing a lot. Mac had some

549
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: decent games to start. He's fallen off the side of

550
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: the road there lately, and he's kind of like a

551
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: rental car that's got four flat tires. It's not good

552
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: to look at and all that. Then you've got Viking

553
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: red shirt rookie JJ McCarthy, who's so bad? How bad

554
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: is he so bad that he looked over his head

555
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: to the point where Carson Wentz was starting ahead of

556
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: a healthy JJ McCarthy, Which is not a vote of confidence,

557
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: which is not a vote of conference. Now McCarthy's a

558
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: red shirt freshman. He's supposed to come back. The Vikings

559
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: are massive underdogs against the Detroit Lions this weekend because

560
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: there's his thirty seven. He isn't a long term savior

561
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: for anybody. However, you need a new band aid, you know,

562
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: take off your Hello Kiddie band aid. You can put

563
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins on right. And he's got a pulse and

564
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: coaches love the father flannagain. We're gonna gonna fix this guy,

565
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: make him better with our team, and I can coach

566
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: him up and all that stuff, and quarterback desperation is undefeated.

567
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: The Bengals went out and traded for Joe Flacco, who

568
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: got benched by the Cleveland Browns. So if Joe Flacco

569
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: can get benched by the Cleveland Browns and then end

570
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: up being relocated to you know who, the Bengals, then okay,

571
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: So Cousins knows it. The flea market is open and

572
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: it is really the balls in the court of Atlanta

573
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: whether or not they want to deal with it, and

574
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: do they really value Cousins? Is it better just to

575
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: leave them? Let him leave, or you'll get some kind

576
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: of compensation. Pick I believe that's how that works. Now,

577
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: speaking of the trade deadline, we go to Jersey conflicting

578
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: reports regarding the Giants edge rusher Keevan Thibodeau, the old

579
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: Oregon duck Kevon Thibodeaux, who has been described as a

580
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: name to watch in quotes, name to watch in quotes

581
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: during the upcoming trading season now State sponsored propped the

582
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: news service of the NFL NFL Media. They tell us

583
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: that the teams have called the Giants trying to poach

584
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: Cavan Thibodeau and inquire about trading for his services, much

585
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: to the dismay of our friend the movie man, and

586
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: they have been told the Giants have no interest, no

587
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: interest in discussing a trade involving the fifth overall pick

588
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two I believe it was NFL draft.

589
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: So we've got conflicting reports. You've got he said, he said,

590
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: question for you, and I'm gonna answer it first. But

591
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pose the question and then i'm gonna answer.

592
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: And if you want to call up, there's a line

593
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: that opened up, so I'll give out the number in

594
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: a minute. But here it is, is Giants Edge Rusher

595
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: Cavan Thibodeaux available or not? Because again one report said

596
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: implied these available, and then immediately there was well the

597
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: Giants are not willing to trade him and all this stuff,

598
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: all right, So the Giants, what they're doing is they're

599
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: playing a kids game. So you know what it is.

600
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: That's right, Pikaboo, that's what they're playing. They're playing peekaboo

601
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: with the truth. You know it, and I know it.

602
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: This is what we call a Drew Carey situation. Now,

603
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: what is a Drew Carey situation when it comes to

604
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: the NFL trade deadline. If the price is right, you

605
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: can get the showcase Showdown. In this case, that would

606
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: be Kevan Thibodeau or go. You offer the right package

607
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you get to play. This

608
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: ain't plinko. We're not playing plinko, if you know what

609
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So linebacker is actually something that the Giants

610
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of. You wouldn't know it by the

611
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: way their defense is played most of the year, but

612
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: they have some name brand players. Brian Burns has been

613
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: a very good player on bad teams most of his career,

614
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: and they drafted Abdul Carter and they've they've got him.

615
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: So that was all after they went out and drafted

616
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: Kavan Thibodau, who was a Giant bust to begin his

617
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: NFL career. Let's call it like it is. He's mostly

618
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: been roster spam. You're the number five overall pick in

619
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: the draft. He's got no All pros, no Pro Bowls,

620
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: and the Pro Bowl they play TikTok toe. You can't

621
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: even get in a competitive game of tic tac toe

622
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: and flag football. My god. So the point is they

623
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: have some wiggle room here to trade the trade the player. Now.

624
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: The issue is they they were gambling that this was

625
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: going to be a breakout year Kevon was going to

626
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: go and this was the year they picked up the

627
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: fifth year options. So they're like, well, this is gonna

628
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: be great. He'll be so good, he'll be so great.

629
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: And they're still waiting, and they're waiting, and they're waiting

630
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: and they're waiting. If somebody dangles a nice big bag

631
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: of goodies, I mean a lot of goodies in there,

632
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: then the giants, let's say they're not putting their phone

633
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: on airplane mode. They're going to respond, They're going to

634
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: read the comments and all that stuff, and that's that.

635
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: So good luck. So yeah, technically, if you want to

636
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: get on a technicality, technically he's not available Covon Tibodeau

637
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: until he is. Until he is. And then a translation

638
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: for those of you a little slow in the back

639
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: of the room. Everyone's available at the right price. Everyone's

640
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: available at the right price. All right, now, final point.

641
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: We go now to Houston, the home of Mister Irrigation

642
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: and Ivan the Terrible and so many other great contributors

643
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: to the show. Despite him, my very passionate, spicy commentary

644
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: over the years about the cheating astro. So I saw

645
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: this and this was right in my wheelhouse. Now, to

646
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: be fair, I did not see this initially. This was

647
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: sent to me by a listener who I believe is

648
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: named Mike, who does not live in Houston, but lives

649
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: in the suburbs of Houston. He says, Ben, did you

650
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: see this? He sent me an email this afternoon and

651
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: he said, the Texans, So this is this is the

652
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: coach of the Texans, Tomko Ryan. Now Dimiko Ryans lectured

653
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: the media, the beat writers that cover the Texans, and

654
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: Mike wanted me to see this. So the Texans, who

655
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: as a team have been lukewarm, I think we can

656
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: all agree on that they've been luke warm most of

657
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: the season. They shown some signs of life, but not

658
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: consistently in just another run of the mill mediocre team. However,

659
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: despite being lukewarm the roster, they are boiling hot, at

660
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: least the coaches and Demiko Ryans, who has said many

661
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: times he doesn't care about the media, consumes the media. Yes,

662
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: Dimiko Rans gave a dissertation on media coverage and among

663
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: the things that he had to say, Ryan's was very upset.

664
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: Dimiko Ryans that the media, he said, everybody wants to

665
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: write a hot story. The Texans coach said, and most

666
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: of the time it's negative stuff that people want to

667
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: talk about. Nobody wants to talk about the positive stuff

668
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: that happens. Now, I added this last part boohoo hoo

669
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: question coach Demico Ryans of the Houston Texans. He says,

670
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: the media thrives around the Texans on negative coverage at

671
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: the very into negativity. What is your read on this one?

672
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: What is your read on this one? So on this one,

673
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: if you open up the textbook to page thirteen of

674
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: the textbook and you read right at the very top,

675
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: it is a textbook case of I don't care. But

676
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: let me present a research paper for five minutes on

677
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: why I don't care? Or go you care? Right? You care?

678
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: So you either ignore the noise. Might you ignore the

679
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: noise the concophony of sounds, or you don't. There's no

680
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: need for a ted talk. You're not the editor, you're

681
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: not the program director of the media. You're not I

682
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: don't know what podcasters have. I don't know, nobody do

683
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: it by themselves. But whatever, and You're not there to

684
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: teach the media to avoid negative headline. It's like you're

685
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: trying to reinvent the wheel, Like, what are you doing?

686
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: Demko Ryan? Seriously, for years it has been if it bleeds,

687
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: it leads. Now, why is that phrase popular in mass media?

688
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: If it bleeds at least? And why do I always

689
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: say the equivalent of that in sports radio the better

690
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: stories in the losing locker room? Now, why do I

691
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: use that phrase? I use that phrase because it's it's

692
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: the human condition is what it is. And the phrase

693
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: just give you an example of how far this goes back.

694
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: The phrase if it bleeds it leads originated in the

695
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds. Do you understand that we're talking about the

696
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: eighteen nineties during the Spanish American War. And I'm not

697
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: making this up. You can literally do your own research.

698
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: Shall google it, ai it, do whatever you want. This

699
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: goes back to the Spanish American War of the late

700
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: eighteen nineties when the newspaper magnet William Randolph Hurst and

701
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: if you've ever been to the Hurst Castle, you know

702
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: this guy was loaded. Okay, So William Randolph Hearst Hurst

703
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: realized in the newspaper business that when you sensationalize a

704
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: story of violence what happened, more people wanted to read

705
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: about it, and therefore you sold more newspapers and trickle

706
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: down economics, you made more money. So Dmiko Ryans is

707
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: acting like this is some kind of new phenomena. It

708
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: goes back to the eighteen nineties, dude, like, seriously, this

709
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: is how the media has operated. I would say it

710
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: goes back to the caveman in the Angerthal days when

711
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: they would draw the sabertooth tiger on the wall of

712
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: the cave to warn the others to avoid the saber

713
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: tooth tiger. You get the point. So it's again, it's

714
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: just human nature. That's my point. People don't click on

715
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: stories that say Texans are playing great, everything's fine. They

716
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: don't click on that. You click on sky is falling,

717
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: Texans blow, They're in trouble. You click on that story,

718
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: and you make money based on the clicks. So that's

719
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: how it works. It's essentially factory settings, is what it is.

720
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: And because of evolution or whatever you want to call it,

721
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: we're all even though we're all different wink wink, nod

722
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: not we're not. We're all hardwired to prioritize threats over

723
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: the warm fuzzy It's kind of you know, the warm

724
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: fuzzy stuff's fine, but you're more worried about threats. You

725
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: spot a lion out on the serengetti, you're gonna spot

726
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: a lion rather than sit there and admire the sunset.

727
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: You got me on that. I know. Listen, it's right

728
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: my wheelhouse. I want to think Mike, who sent me

729
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 1: the story, Good job by you. Low hanging fruit, which,

730
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: as I've said for years, is the most delicious fruit

731
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: is the low hanging fruit. So again, just stop whining,

732
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: Dimico Ryan. You want nice, warm coverage, go to Texans

733
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: dot com, which is like, you know, the Sunshine website

734
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: for the Texans. I'm sure it's all propaganda and you

735
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: probably love that, right, get your pants down there. You're

736
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: all excited and otherwise, you know, that's the content industry

737
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: that we're in. The content mill is open.

738
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

741
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: third degree? Here? Wait, it's one Big Ben gets grilled.

742
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 3: So Carson wentzen said to undergo season ending surgery on

743
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 3: his left shoulder, and that leaves the Vikings with only

744
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks on their roster, JJ McCarthy and some guy

745
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 3: I've never heard of ben. Is there anyone that the

746
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 3: Vikings should target in a trade?

747
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jameis Winston. That's it. I mean, it's all depressing,

748
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: but Jameis Winston is fun bad. He's not bad bad,

749
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: he's fun bad. He'll at least be fun. Other than that,

750
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: it's Russell Wilson. It's Kirk Cousins. You are had Cousins.

751
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: Wilson's done. So that's it. That's the not a list.

752
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: That's the big board. It's a big board of one.

753
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's third string quarterback there behind Russ and Jackson Dart,

754
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston next.

755
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday that it isn't a

756
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: long shot for Brock Purty to play in Week nine

757
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 3: after missing the last four games in a row for

758
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers. Does Party's return make san Fan

759

Speaker 3: more of a threat in the NFC West.

760
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: No, No, because he's been exposed as a second tier quarterback.

761
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: So it's about the other players. They don't have their

762
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: name brand defensive players. I'm not part of the forty

763
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,760

764
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,600

Speaker 3: say that the NFL needs to make every play reviewable.

768
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 3: This comes after the outrage over the Eagles Tush push

769
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 3: being called dead for forward progress when Jalen Hurts had

770
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 3: the ball rip from his hands.

771
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,839

00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 4: like how far have you gotten before you got turned off?

820
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 4: And I was like, no, that's why you got to

821
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 4: test it first, right, But if she really does have

822
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 4: an issue, you should have her go to the doctor.

823
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 4: Might have a bacterial infection, and don't use like sprays

824
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 4: to cover up the scent.

825
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: That's not how that works. No, No, what if you

826
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: put like a clip on your nose.

827
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 4: You can still taste it?

828
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,960

829
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: Man says dating advice for everyone. When is the ideal

830
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: time to let that first? The one rip? You know,

831
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: just let one rip? Do?

832
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 4: I think the best time is either accidentally or like

833
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 4: when you're asleep, right, Like they can't blame you if

834
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: you're sleeping. But for me, the first time one of

835
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 4: my boyfriends farted around me, we were like playing, so

836
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 4: he picked me up, and by picking me up, it

837
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 4: put pressure on him and.

838
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 3: He parted it.

839
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: Ah, so it's your fault. Yeah, you cause that.

840
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 4: And but you know, the embarrassment was there for both people.

841
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 4: So laugh about it, laugh about it, move on, and

842
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 4: make sure you didn't eat anything nasty that day because

843
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 4: you really can smell it.

844
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: So avoid the garlic and the onions. Yeah, maybe some

845
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: pineapple or something delicious. Well, speaking of that, JT. The

846
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: Wingman writes in from Knoxville. He says, is there a

848
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: Of course, representing all women, Lorena would know what every

849
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: other woman likes that gets her all giddy.

850
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a good one because they say oyster?

851
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 4: Is that afrodij Yeah? I like the slurping motion of it.

852
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 4: I mean, think about what the man does with his

853
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 4: mouth when he eats.

854
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean the oysters.

855
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 4: There's things that are really unattractive to watch a man eat.

856
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 4: So don't don't like hot dogs around her or something

857

Speaker 5: I want to get back together with them, But you

871
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,759

872
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 5: I didn't like them anymore. You think that I can

873
