25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five million dollar contract with the

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: Baltimore Orioles.

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Well Way, Jason, the Mets made an offer, right.

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: The Mets offer was, hey, we'll help you pack. That

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: was the offer of the Mets made. The Mets did

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: not make an offer to Pete Alonzo right now. Let

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: me just say, let me let me do head in

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: heart first, okay with this right here, because obviously it's

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a last coup. Look, today was

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: a rough day in my household. Man, Pete Alonzo gone.

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: Sharon Moore fired with cous Michigan. Me and my wife

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: are going, Hey, who's got it worse than us? Nobody?

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: Your kids just kind of skate around. She was like,

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: I'm not coming home today. I'm staying somelf in school.

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 4: I had a nice balanced lunch, I did pretty well

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: on a quiz and we we played some games in

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: the last No, I ain't coming home.

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 1: Don't put that evil on me. Ricky, Bobby, I will

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: see you when the dust clears. This is a bad man. Hopefully,

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: hopefully Benny you know, stepped in upon or yeah, yeah,

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: maybe Benny. Yeah, maybe Benny went to the bathrooms a

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: supposed to. That'll be how it goes through. Uh, but

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: let me just say this, right, all of all of today,

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo leaves the day after and let me let

50
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: me do the head things first, right. Oh no, you look, Okay,

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: the Mets don't play tomorrow, so they don't have to

52
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: worry about putting a team out there tomorrow. So you

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: sound like Coe. That's exactly what we started trying to

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: sit again because I said it last night. What did

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: I say last night?

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: Wait?

57
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Do we have to go to our bullpen tomorrow and

58
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: and figure out? No, we're not playing a game tomorrow.

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: If in the middle of February we don't have Kyle

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Tucker or Cody Bellinger or Suarez, or if we don't

61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: have any of those guys, I'll say, Okay, I'm a

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: little concerned, but uh, it's clear the Mets have a plan,

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: and I give him a lot of guts for sticking

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: to it. Because David Stern's nose, he's the most unpopular

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: GM in the game of baseball. He has put a

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: bulls eye on him. But this is but this is

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: him saying, I know what we need. Last year was

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: a real disaster, and I get it because they've gone

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: as far as they can with this core. Do you

70
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: really think just trotting out the same guys again next year?

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: And Diaz and Nimo and and and Alonso, who these

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: guys whose contracts are coming up, do you think if

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: we trotted them out there the results gonna be different.

74
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: We'll just spend more money.

75
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: We'll spend another two hundred million dollars on a combination

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: of Alonzo and DS two hundred and fifty million. I'm

77
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: just bringing the two of them back for a team

78
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: that Oh, by the way, I don't think I missed

79
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: any any banner hangings. I don't think I missed any

80
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: parades in the World Series of the last year is

81
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: with these guys.

82
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 5: They're good players. Pete A. Lonzo is a good player.

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: He can't field at all, right, he's got real difficulty

84
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: in the field. Doesn't matter because hey, he's he hits,

85
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: he hits terrific. But he's thirty. He's over thirty. He's

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: got a five year deal. It's way too much money

87
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: for a guy that only can do one thing, and

88
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: if you want him to DH, you want other guys

89
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: to DH. I get not going in. And the Mets

90
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: plan clearly was, Hey, Pete's gonna be too much for us.

91
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Why they didn't make him an offer, Right, That's why

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: I didn't make him offer. They knew that someone's gonna

93
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: give him more money this time around because he's coming

94
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: off a bigger year. So we're just gonna say goodbye.

95
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: And they said goodbye. If Alonzo would have said, hey,

96
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: two three years and maybe you know, you know, ninety

97
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: million or something like that, the Mets might have said, oh, okay,

98
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: maybe that's that. But you got to get five years,

99
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five million dollars when you can. Right,

100
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: that's the biggest contract we've seen in a little while.

101
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: And Alonzo gets it. I get it because, like Jim

102
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: Beheim used to say, I just want to win. I

103
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: give a I could give a blank who plays, right,

104
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: I don't care who plays. I want to win. So

105
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: it's the beginning, the beginning of the art. There's lots

106
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: of guys out there. Again, if they don't get any

107
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: of those players over the next month or two.

108
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 5: I'll like that.

109
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: I'll say, Okay, now we really have a conversation. But

110
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a plan in place, and Alonzo

111
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: and Diaz. Maybe DZ fit a little bit, but Alonzo

112
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: clearly didn't fit. You've seen his best. I don't think

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: anybody was jumping up and down for the Cardinals the

114
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: year after they got rid of Albert Pools to the Angels,

115
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: they wanted ten more years of that contract? Or are

116
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: they happy to dump them off, because yeah, we saw

117
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: his best. We got as far as we could with him.

118
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Now it's just gonna be diminishing returns the rest of

119
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: his career. That's kind of what it's gonna be for Alonzo.

120
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, it sucks because the emotion part of it is, Mike, Yeah,

121
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: today was tough, Man, Today was tough. I almost cried

122
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: a couple of times because seeing the home run, listening

123
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: to the home run against the Brewers, and this is

124
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: what's typical Mets. The big home run off Devin Williams

125
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: two years ago to win that game and put him

126
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: into the nl DS against the Phillies, my biggest home

127
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: run the Mets have ever had. It's typical Mets that

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: we have the guy that gave up the home run,

129
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: and we don't have the guy that hit the home run. Right,

130
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: that's Mets. But like it was emotional, so it doesn't

131
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: mean today wasn't necessary, but it also sucked. Both things

132
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: could be true because I wanted Alonzo to stay, want

133
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: to retire, and met the guys hold the all time

134
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: record for home runs, like the guy guy's a great player,

135
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: home run I want that, but I want to win,

136
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: and I saw what happened last year wasn't good enough,

137
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: so it's time to make changes and bringing other players.

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 5: And I like that they have a vision and I

139
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 5: like their sticking to it.

140
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, today still kind of sucked because I love

141
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: Alonzo Man.

142
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 5: Just thinking about that home run again and.

143
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: Watching it over and over and over again over Devin Williams,

144
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: it was awesome and it made me sad, But after

145
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: a couple minutes, I wasn't sad anymore because I get that, Okay,

146
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: I want to win.

147
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 5: Always go back to that, Mike.

148
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: Harmon, always look to that.

149
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: Now he is only thirty one years old, so it's

150
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: not like this is guy that's in his mid thirties

151
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 4: and you're looking at those last four or five years.

152
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: It's not a ten year deal.

153
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: It's in line with what Schwarber got obviously hit from

154
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: the other side of the plate, all that institutional love

155
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: and fandom and all that stuff. Just as you gave

156
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: me a little bit of your best Steve Cohen impression

157
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: of Hey, we don't have to play today, there's a

158
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: lot of time before game one. I remind you of

159
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: the great Dave wanstat ahead of the nineteen ninety six

160
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears season. All the pieces are in place. They

161
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: we go on to finish seven and nine that year

162
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: and in the end, you know.

163
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: Three years. I get it, you know you it's not

164
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: a normal three years.

165
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: It's not quite dog years, but not the same aging

166
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: process as you know a normal man or woman in

167
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: their professional lives. But you know what, would I rather

168
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: spend one hundred and fifty million on Pete Alonso or

169
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: four hundred million or three fifty on Kyle Tucker? I

170
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: think I'll take what I know, I think I'll take.

171
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: I know, I get it.

172
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: But the but yeah, but the thing is, remember now

173
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: and this is what what what? So many you know

174
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: fans forget Oh, we have no plan. No, no, we

175
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: have a plan and Pete Alonso is a limited guy.

176
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: He do one thing right and he hits and that's awesome, right,

177
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: But if you can pay one hundred and fifty five

178
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: million dollars for a guy like Bellinger or Kyle Tucker

179
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: that can play a couple of different positions, can you

180
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: give you some good stuff in the field. A least

181
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: a little bit better stuff in the field they're gonna

182
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: get from Alonzo, especially a guy like Bellinger that can

183
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: play first base, all the outfield positions.

184
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand that.

185
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: I understand saying that's a guy we feel a little

186
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: bit more comfortable giving that kind of money to. I

187
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: completely understand that. And and you know, I love what

188
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: Alonso did. Well, we saw his best and we got

189
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: to the NLCS two years ago and that's where we got.

190
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: The Mets didn't didn't hang any banners over the last.

191
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: Although I mean they probably should hang on for the NLCS,

192
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: but like they went as far as they could with

193
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: this corps and they had to make change. You can't

194
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: just run it back after you collapse out of the

195
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: playoffs like they did last year. That's not a run

196
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: it back situation.

197
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: I mean, Jevin Williams, I mean, he's clearly shown the

198
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: acumen and versatility and resolve to show up in big

199
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 4: Oh unless no, I understand this had to be a

200
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: difficult day, no question about it, because as I said,

201
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: as we started things, you know, when you talk about

202
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: a changing of identity of an organization, it is difficult.

203
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 5: And Peter A.

204
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 4: Lonzo is that guy. Today was a release of a

205

Speaker 4: Big Tops baseball product. Uh And one of the big

207
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: of format.

00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: And there's a.

209
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: Really great polar Bear card that no longer has that

210
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: meaning because it's not the same thing, especially for who today?

211
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 4: Who Was it difficult for us struggling?

212
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: I mean it might have difficult for me.

213
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: Well you you kind of chuckled about it because.

214
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: You think everybody did well.

215
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 4: I think Mets fans are a bit salty. I mean

00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: behind door number two is Tucker Bellinger mans.

217

220
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: How about angry message did you send to Sterns today?

221

Speaker 5: Worry worry about that guy. Look.

225
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, I love the fact that Lakers said,

226
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: blank you, we're not going to put our E Cup

227
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: floor out there.

228
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: It's ridiculous. We're going with our normal floor.

229
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: To floor was unsafe. They decided it wasn't potentially a problem.

230
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.

231
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Was it really unsafe or was it? Man, I can't

232
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: look at that floor again. Yeah, we'll just say it's unsafe.

233
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know. I'm just saying I look

234
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 5: at that, see something.

235
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: Look at that conspiracy theories over something such great. There's

236
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 4: such greatness as the Emeralds Cup. By the way, that

237
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 4: early game, well, I want to waste the time that was.

238
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: I'm glad I to invest a lot in watching the

239
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: backups of the Oklahoma City Thunder, although their second squad

240
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: might run through a bunch of the NBA teams right now.

241
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 4: But back to the desk at hand.

242
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: It won that game by fifty over over Phoenix, Phoenix

243
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: by fifty to night that in an E Cup game.

244
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: Man, they were hanging out his third deck passing out peanuts.

245
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: And Phoenix is having an okay season, way better anybody

246
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: thought they were going to have it.

247
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 5: Feit man, this thing was, This thing was over quick.

248
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: Shows you how much it means to the Thunder for

249
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: the extra five hundred grandy Again, I keep waiting for

250
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: Myra and Steve to roll out a giant chest in Vegas.

251
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, for your mets, I'm curious to see what

252
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 4: the plan is. To your point, that's fifty million dollars.

253
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 4: It's of salary.

254
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: Shed the furthest you guys are ever gonna go.

255
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 4: The rest of their history is the nl Whatever it

256
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: was against the Dodgers.

257
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 5: That was the NLCS that thanks for Thanks you for

258
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 5: whatever that was, Thanks whatever it be.

259
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Five Oh, by the way, pretty sure last year we

260
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: went out and signed the guy who's our identity for

261
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: the next ten to twelve years and one.

262
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: So just remember, just remember God finish that contract.

263
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: Did just to finish Alonzo. Because of that contract and

264
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: everybody else, he got his casino.

265
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: We have good, We have all kinds of money. Everything

266
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: is fine again.

267
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: How is everything fine?

268
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Because it's the beginning of the off season where everything

269
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: hut everything Everything is fine again. If we had to

270
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: play tomorrow I'd be a little concerned. I'd be a

271
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: little worried there, but we don't. We don't have to

272
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: play until the beginning of it.

273
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 5: We have to play again. It's it's everything is okay.

274
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Look, it's it was Azation folds the way we're not.

275
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: We're not playing anymore. We're just done. We can't do

276
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 5: this anymore. We just can't do it.

277
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 6: No.

278
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean, look for for Alonso and look the Orioles.

279
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Get a guy who's gonna come in and his I'm

280
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: not gonna I don't think it's going to age poorly,

281
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: but the Alonso contract is going to age kind of

282
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: like Kyle Schwarber's will, right, because we've got Kyle Schwarber

283
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: the net. You like, you don't got the five year

284
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: deal thirty two years old, only dhing. Okay, maybe the

285
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: last year and a half of that deal is gonna

286
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: be rough, right, because he's he's not gonna age.

287
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 5: Really really well.

288
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: So, but the first three years is fine, and the

289
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: next and the last year and a half, okay, you'll

290
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: you'll be palatable whatever that is. It's gonna be the

291
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: same thing for Alonzo, right. The next two to three

292
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: years might be okay, now you're changing teams, changing changing leagues,

293
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of things.

294
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 5: But the next couple of years are gonna be okay.

295
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: But i'll tell you what it might be the middle

296
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: and next season when they say, hey, Pete, we want

297
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: you to be the full time DH, because he outside

298
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: of picking balls at first base, he is brutal in

299
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the field, and and they're gonna say, Pete, you wanted DH,

300
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: and he really didn't want to do it. He would

301
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: rather stay and play first base. I understand guys that

302
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: want to do that. But that's gonna be the conversation

303
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: in a little well, probably midway point in next season. Hey,

304
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: really quietly, Pete, A Lonzo will move to designated hitter.

305
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: But that's how the contract's gonna age. It'll age like

306
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: like Schwarberz. The next two three years, I'm sure it'll

307
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: be okay. The last couple of years, year and a half,

308
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be rough because he's never been to guy

309
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: that's kept himself in great shape and pulled a bear

310
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: for a long time. And as he gets to thirty

311
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: four thirty five, that's what's gonna happen the next three years.

312
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, look, hey, great for the Orioles. Their lineup

313
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: is fantastic. You're dropping them right in amongst a bunch

314
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: of guys that can really hit. I'm excited. Look, Alonzo's

315
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: a good dude, and I loved everything he did for

316
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: the Mets. I love staying and still being excited about

317
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: being a member of the Mets last year, even though

318
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: he wanted a big deal and the Mets didn't give

319
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: it to him. And he's only back there because he

320
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: couldn't get a bigger deal in free agency. And he

321
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: was a big pro like I get, and I wish

322
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: him all the best.

323
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: In the world. Man, He's an.

324
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: Awesome, awesome dude, and that's how it's gonna go, and

325
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: things will probably be fine. And he's a big get

326
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: for the Orioles to PLoP him right there in the

327
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: middle of the lineup. But yeah, but that's how it's

328
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna be. And the Mets need a little bit more

329
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: in you know, with their team than just, Hey, we're

330
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: giving a lot of money to a guy who in

331
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: a you know and a half year, he's going to

332
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: DH for us, and then we got to go out

333
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: and get another first basement, right, So I mean, that's

334
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: what it's necessary. Everything Mets did today I was fine with.

335
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: I said goodbye to Pete Long so when he hired

336
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: Scott Boris as his age, I knew two years ago

337
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: he's gone. He hired Scott Boris because he was upset

338
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: at his first push it free agency. He hired Scott Boris.

339
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: Now that said that he's gone. There's no way he's staying.

340
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: He is absolutely leaving. So I said by goodbye him.

341
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: A couple years ago. He stayed in an extra couple

342
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: of years. That's awesome. And today he left. And while

343
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: it was somewhat it was emotional at times, it wasn't

344
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: other times.

345
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: I get what's going on.

346
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: It's I'm telling you, like I said with Diz yesterday,

347
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: it's fine.

348
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: The Orioles in theory get their veteran leader with all

349
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: those young guys, and I already have people in writing

350
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: me notes. This will end up better than Chris Davis, right, right.

351
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: Oh man, Chris David. I think they're still paying Chris Davis.

352
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: I think he's still getting money from it.

353
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: I believe that is true.

354

Speaker 5: right now eighteen to twelve.

387
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: No wenby for San Antonio, and the Lakers are playing

388
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: on their normal floor, so understand, even though that's the case,

389
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: we are still playing an E Cup game. Don't want

390
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: anybody know it's not happening. It is still an E

391
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: Cup game.

392
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 4: Feels like you need to superimpose a bunch of extra

393
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: graphics on the court, like floating logos for the television

394
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 4: audience so they know this time it counts.

395
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Why do we not just go to different jerseys, like

396
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, teams are like hey, especially if they're like

397
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: cool like color rush jerseys or something the or they

398
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: go to throw back jerseys or some kind of why

399
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: not do something like that and you can sell more

400
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: merch rather than say, hey, we're gonna make the floor

401
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: look different. Why not have NBA E Cup specific jerseys

402
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: like I just go wild with it so you know

403
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: right away when you turn on the TV. Oh it's

404
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: an E Cup game. Look at what the hell the

405
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: Spurs are wearing?

406
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: Look like the bumble bees for the Steelers or in

407
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: uniforms that the Bears wear, you know.

408
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 2: Where they look like guards.

409
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, some kind of some kind of like city connect

410
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, like they could have like the River Walk

411
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: or the Alamo or whatever it is. You know, LA's

412
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: got the Hollywood side just says the Hollywood Sign logo

413
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: across the front instead of Lakers like something like that.

414
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: Why not there's a picture of the Hollywood Bowl.

415
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 4: Why don't you make it a moving digital billboard on

416
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: their jerseys and every time they're on screen you have

417
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: no idea what's going to be on there?

418
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Harry Potter. Yeah see, we're close to that

419
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: happening more next.

420
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 4: Level where you could do the thing like when you

421
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 4: had the pandemic and you could get the cardboard cut

422
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: out of yourself. Oh yes, you can appear on Luca

423
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: Doncon's chest for three seconds of a game.

424
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, isn't isn't this better than just hey,

425
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,840

426
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 4: On, ah, but come on, those courts make me know

427
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 4: that my eyesight stile is functional because it offends.

428
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when you look at it, I can't look

429
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: at that. I can't look at the game for more

430
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: than three seconds at a time. I start to go blind.

431
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: It feels like I look up, but I'm looking away.

432
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: Look up, but look away.

433
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 5: All right.

434
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,400

436
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: part of the rough day in the smith household. Today,

00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo goes to the Orioles and the University of

438
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: Michigan is now looking for a new head coach after

439
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: firing head coach. You're on Moore earlier today. Uh, it

440
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: was a bombshell. No one thought this was coming. And

441
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: when this story first broke and I saw the banner,

442
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: I said to myself, oh my, what the the hell

443
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: happen here?

444
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 5: And I'm thinking to myself.

445
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: Wow are they I don't even hear anything from anybody,

446
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know pants fits on that they you know,

447
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: everybody lives and breeds Michigan football in Michigan, like no

448
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: one's ever said anything like, hey, there's a lot of

449
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: whispers about stuff.

450
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 5: There's this going on, there's this going on, and all

451
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 5: of a.

452
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: Sudden, he's fired, And I'm thinking, what is Lane Kiffin

453
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: showing up like as all of a suddenlane kiffn did

454
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: he did he pray?

455
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 5: Did he pray that?

456
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: Did he pray that Sharon Moore would get fired? And

457
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: he would not say, Hey, I gotta go take this job. Everybody,

458
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: I know I'm at LSU, but hey, I'm here. I'm

459
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: getting off the plane. I'm flying to Ann Armor. It's

460
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: the job I really want. And then we get the

461
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: details that are just getting more and more crazy as

462
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: time goes on. It was just moments after this story

463
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: was announced that Brett McMurphy, longtime college football insider, said

464
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: that Moore was fired following an investigation into Moore's conduct

465
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: with a staff member. Quote, Sharon Moore was terminated with cause,

466
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: effective immediately, school saying in a statement following a university investigation,

467
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: credible evidence was found the coach more engage in an

468
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Now there's lots of

469
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 1: rumors out there on social media about what it was.

470
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: And Sean Moore is married, he does have kids, and

471
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: you know there's look you could get. You can get

472
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: the sordid story out there that nothing's been proven yet,

473
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: And I've seen a couple of people linked to this

474
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: story like, Okay, that's not the person they were talking

475
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: about before. That's so it's an inappropriate relationship he had

476
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: with a university staff member. Compounding that is that shortly

477
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: after he was detained by police and sale Michigan and

478
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: was later turned over to a second area police department

479
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: for investigation into potential charges. Now, again, these have not

480
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: been let known. Even TMZ won't spend when TMZ's not

481
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: gonna speculate, you know, Hey, wait a minute, this is

482
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: we don't know yet. Again, lots of crazy rumors going

483
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: out online what it is and and what happened that

484
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: he winds up being detained by police. So these are

485
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of shoes we're waiting to drop here,

486
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: like what happened with this story. I assume in the

487
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: next twenty four hours we will know a lot more

488
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: to this. But these are the concrete facts that we know.

489
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: He was fired by Michigan for cause it means they're

490
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: not going to pay in the rest of his twelve

491
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: million dollar salary, in appropriate relationship with a staff member,

492
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: and now turned over after being detained by a police

493
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: department for investigation into potential charges. Now what these charges are,

494
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: we don't know. But this is the story for Sharon

495
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: Moore as it sits right now. And the first thing

496
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: when I saw this was I sat back and I said,

497
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: on the list of great jobs in college football, Michigan

498
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: has been on that short of short list for the

499
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: last couple of years.

500
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 5: Right.

501
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: They won the national championship two years ago. All of

502
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's a new era in Michigan. Jim Harbaugh's

503
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: leaving Michigan was beating Ohio State. Look, Michigan's long been

504
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: royalty in college football. They just haven't won enough. Now

505
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: they're winning, and they're beating Ohio State. Like you look

506
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: at any metric of the best jobs in college football,

507
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: in Michigan and Ohio State were at the top, right there,

508
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: at the top of the top five or seven jobs

509
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: everywhere in college football, they're right there, right, Alabama is

510
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 1: at the top of that list. Right, these are teams

511
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: at all at the top, all the heritage teams, they're

512
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: at the top. Sharon Moore goes from the offensive coordinator

513
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: and he slides in when Jim Harbaugh jumps to the NFL,

514
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: and I really and I don't know if it's just

515
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: because this is me and not that I feel like

516
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: I hold myself above anything, but I.

517
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: Just sit back and I go.

518
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: This guy slides in to one of the greatest jobs

519
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: in college one of the top five jobs and all

520
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: of college football, and he blows it up for a

521
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: relationship with a step whatever happens, he blows it up

522
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: over relationship that that winds up getting him fired. He's

523
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: lost everything now, he's lost his career, he's lost money,

524
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: maybe he's lost his family. Like he's lost at all

525
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: because I'm involved in a personal drama when my number

526
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: one goal is coaching Michigan and not realizing, Boy, do

527
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: I have a great gig right now? Do I have

528
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: a gig that ninety nine percent of other coaches would

529
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: leave their gigs for.

530
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 5: I have that gig.

531
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: People spend their entire lives trying to work their way

532
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: up and win at smaller schools so they could maybe

533
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: get the head coaching job at Michigan or the head

534
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: coaching job at Ohio. Statement the head coach a job

535
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: at Alabama and Searan Moore comes in, Hey, I'm the

536
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: Ocenie win the national title. Guess what, hey, Jim Harbass suspended.

537
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: He blows up in front of me. I wind up

538
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: getting that opportunity and he winds up getting getting a

539
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: job that you scratch it and go, wow, man, he's

540
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time, and he

541
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: was doing great. He beat Ohio State twice, won last year.

542
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: Everything was looking fine, and now you look at his

543
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: career and he gave it away, and I just can't.

544
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: It really is hard for me to understand how guys

545
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: that this kind of of opportunity and have this kind

546
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: of professional life when they're in the top one tenth

547
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: of one percent of what they do and they wind

548
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: up blowing up and doing and doing themselves in I

549
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: still I can't get over that. That's that still happens

550
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: to so many people that can't figure things out and

551
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: can't handle success. Because all Searon Mooreris had has been success. Now,

552
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: did he win this year?

553
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 6: No?

554
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 5: Did he keep the team in contention all the way through?

555
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: Yeah?

556
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 5: Did he maybe have the right guy a quarterback? Yeah?

557
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 5: I don't know.

558
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: Underwood maybe not, maybe not the guy they thought he was.

559
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: But still Michigan won nine games, going to a big

560
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: Bowl game, that you know, the NFL talent is coming

561
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 1: back in flowing through. It's a great program again. And

562
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: now here it is and he's lost at all because

563
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: he couldn't handle success and the power that he wound

564
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: up getting went to his head and he wound up

565
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: getting out of control. Now, maybe maybe I would wind

566
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: up falling victor to that power too, if all of

567
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: a sudden I'm put in position of Hey, You're the

568
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: head coach of the biggest uh one of the biggest

569
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: schools in the country, and all of a sudden people

570
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: are fawning all over you, and you have that sense

571
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: of power when you walk into a room. I'd like

572
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: to think I know how to handle it. Maybe I don't,

573
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: but wow, imagine the dig Oh man, hey you want

574
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: to be yes, big Mac? Where where a big back?

575
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: What room?

576
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: What room do you need to go to for a big Mac? Yeah,

577
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm there, I'm there, I'm there. I'd like to think

578
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: I'd be able to handle Maybe not, but you would.

579
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: And when when I see this, I go, how do you?

580
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: How do you give this away? I mean I couldn't.

581
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't get away from that.

582
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 4: Today, Mike rationality sometimes rolls out the door. I mean,

583
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 4: it's sometimes best expressed as we often look to uh.

584
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 2: Our muses and music.

585
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 4: I'll look to pop superstars and actress Selena Gomez. The

586
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: heart wants what it wants, uh uh uh uh uh.

587
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

588
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: So it's you have no idea and you know behind

589
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: the scenes, I don't pretend to know the man's relationships

590
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 4: or or those statuses.

591
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 2: Here.

592
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 4: He's fired with cause, so you know what ever the

593
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 4: investigation has yielded, there's there's certainly a lot of details,

594
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 4: even this being detained by the police. Very sketch, you know,

595
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: We've got a very pencil sketch with it, with a

596
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 4: lot of blank space on the canvas right now. In

597
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: terms of where this story goes, you feel for the family,

598
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 4: for those associated you know, and friends and colleagues. And

599
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 4: he's the guy that had to wear a bunch of

600
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: the suspension stuff during the time at Michigan. Doesn't mean

601
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: that you know off the Connor stallion stuff. It's always

602
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 4: the question of who knew what when, howeer and everything else.

603
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, great power, great responsibility. Obviously the steward of

604
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 4: a huge brand. The underwood side of thing is interesting

605
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: because immediately you start seeing all the missives from all

606
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 4: sorts of schools where you have gotten new coaches or

607
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 4: maybe a quarterback who's getting.

608
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 5: Ready to leave.

609
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 4: Hey, you should go get underwood now because it opens, right,

610
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 4: the portal opens because the coach. Not that it's ever

611
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: closed really, but you get that extra piece if a

612
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 4: coach gets fired or or leaves of their own accord.

613
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 4: So you have that swirling in the background. Nine and

614
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 4: three seasons still pretty strong. You know, you lost the

615
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 4: game that everybody points to, right, you'd won the last

616
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: couple against Ohio State, and then this year not so,

617
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: you know, timing is is curious how quickly this comes

618
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 4: to the bear right after a season. And at this

619
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 4: point it's a lot of speculation. But we see men

620
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: and women of great power and repute felled all across

621
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: the business and sports landscape with some regularity.

622
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: It's the human condition, right, you know.

623
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 4: We you never know what's going on behind someone's closed

624
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 4: doors that lead to such things. And you know the

625
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 4: old he want you want to judge and throw stones,

626
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: you know, look inward, have a little bit of grace,

627
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 4: but for this one uncertainly will wait on more details, right,

628
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: it like it's just a lot of Wow, what happened

629
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: and how and what? Because you've got a lot of

630
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 4: pictures and a lot of theories of what, how, where,

631
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 4: and everything else going out there without a lot of

632
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: backing to it at this point.

633
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: You know, I always think about this.

634
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: It's very rare that I remember certain advice I get

635
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: in life, in my career about certain things, because sometimes

636
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: people say stuff just to say stuff right, like, you know,

637
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: like oh you think this, Do you really think that?

638
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: Or did you read that somewhere like on a calendar.

639
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: But early on in my radio career, one host that

640
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: I used to talk to a lot said to me,

641
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: he said, you know, you will find in your career

642
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: you will get more opportunities because of people who blow

643
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: up in front of you than you will on your

644
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: own talent.

645
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 5: Just watch you watch how.

646
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: People just can't handle the success that they have, and

647
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: you will get more opportunities because of that. And sure enough,

648
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: I've seen that so many times people that can't handle

649
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: success or or are only happy when they're miserable, and

650
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: they wind up finding their way out because they don't

651
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: know how to act. And there's chances that happen. Hey,

652
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: look and I'm getting an opportunity because of it?

653
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 5: Right?

654
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: How did Sharon Moore get his chance because Jim Hart

655
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: bought Wait wait, we got a big sign stealing scandal

656
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: going on, He's got to run to the NFL. Right,

657
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna leave, But when he got in trouble

658
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: because of the sign stealing scandal, he ran to the NFL.

659
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: And now Sharon Moore got the chance of a lifetime.

660
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: Right he couldn't handle success. Now somebody else is getting

661
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: the chance of a lifetime when they hire whoever it's

662
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: gonna be, and said, I mean, I really, there is

663
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: no more true advice that I've gotten professionally than hearing

664
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: that you'll get more opportunities because people in front of

665
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: you or that are ahead of you can't handle it

666
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: and blow up and torpedo their own careers than you

667
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: will because of your own talent. I've seen it so

668
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: many times and it was on display today.

669
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean that could be in any capacity.

670
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: That could just be slap fighting verbally with a boss

671
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 4: that decides they don't like you, right a goo manage

672
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 4: up and down as it were. But like for this one,

673
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: we still have a lot of questions as to you know,

674
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 4: the police get involved the investigation into potential charges.

675
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 2: What does that mean? What does that mean? I don't know?

00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: try to put in little pieces of it to make

781
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: it look like an E Cup courte.

782
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: Because they put a banner up when they won it, right,

783
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 4: so you know, hey, someone needs to point and say, hey,

784
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 4: that's a lot of bonus money. Yeah, we got families

785
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: that need Christmas presents, a presence.

786
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: Whatever, let's go.

787
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: So we'll have more on the big Searon more controversy

788
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: story that's just taken over of the last couple hours

789
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: coming up in about ten minutes.

790
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 5: But uh, elsewhere in college football.

791
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm the shadow commissioner of college football, maybe because

792
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: my idea is.

793
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 5: Always seem to work, right. What did we say on Monday?

794
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: One of the big byproducts of Notre Dame getting left

795
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: out of the college football Playoff was that, trust me,

796
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: they couldn't come together this year. Somehow the different conferences

797
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: on a sixteen team playoff, even though you need a

798
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: sixteen team playoff to solve the issue of what do

799
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: you do with teams whose third losses in the conference

800
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: championship game? It needs to be more. You gotta get

801
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,959
Speaker 1: to sixteen. That's gonna be a thing. With Notre Dame

802
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: getting left out, we are going to sixteen teams next year.

803
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: It is an absolute certainty. Watch how smooth it is.

804
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: It's not even gonna be a discussion it's gonna be

805
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: sixteen sixteen orangeip orange of orange at sixteen shoes. Still, okay, great,

806
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: we're going We're going to sixteen teams. It'll be that

807
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: after they couldn't do it this year for whatever stupid

808
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: reason they couldn't figure it out, it will magically happen

809
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: next year. That was on Monday. Now, what do we

810
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: know that's come up?

811
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 5: Your mark?

812
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: Big twelve commissioner says, yeah, sixteen team playoff. Okay, he

813
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: wants more teams in today. ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said, yeah,

814
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: we need a sixteen team playoff.

815
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 5: Quote. They're such hard ache. Get that cut line right now.

816
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,959
Speaker 1: And what I would say is my barometer about what's

817
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: enough and what's not enough is if you're leaving teams

818
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: out of the playoff that could win a national championship,

819
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: then you don't have the right number. Again, We're going

820
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: to sixteen teams for next year. It's happening everybody because

821
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: again they're not doing this because oh you have this,

822
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: elect more teams from the ACC, and this elect more

823
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: teams of the Big twelve in the SEC and the

824
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: Big ten are gonna say yeah, he's gonna say, now,

825
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna get six teams in each Yeah, we'll say yes,

826
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: because we're gonna, we're gonna, we know how to do this.

827
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 5: We're gonna, we're gonna bully push through.

828
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: Six teams from each of our conferences and you're still

829
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna be fighting for one or two spots. Yeah, we're

830
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: okay with sixteen teams, but we are gonna get sixteen

831
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: teams next year.

832
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 5: It is an absolute certainty.

833
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 4: So when Phillips was talking, were we able to surmise

834
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 4: whether we were channeling the other guys and Samuel L.

835
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 4: Jackson what he says, take my hand dot dot dot

836
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 4: and work your mouth like a puppet, because I think

837
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 4: that's kind of where we're at in this, Like, Hey,

838
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 4: this is how I make Bovakua like me again. Getting

839
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: Tom Cruise to send him one of those cup coconut

840
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 4: cakes isn't gonna be enough. We're gonna need a little

841
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: bit more. We're gonna need to smooth this over. So

842
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 4: he stops holding his breath. He's turning blue in the

843
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 4: corner at this point, crying about this circumstance. So, yeah,

844
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 4: you need to go and you become the mouthpiece. I mean,

845
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 4: it's it's as transparent as anything, right, as inevitable as

846
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,479
Speaker 4: the Fano snap that Phillips and anybody that has any

847
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 4: business ties to Notre Dame would suddenly be like, you know,

848
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 4: we really need to clean this up, we really need well.

849
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 4: I was surprised they didn't stand out in front of

850
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 4: the Bellaggio Fountain and say, you know, the betting gods

851
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 4: said they were one of the top six options.

852
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: You want the money quote from Phillips. Now again, I

853
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: told you it was gonna happen. Here's the money quote

854
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: from Phillips. I'd prefer not to wait another year, but

855
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: I only speak for the acc again, hand mouth, puppy.

856
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 5: It's happening.

857
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: We're getting it, and still next year it's gonna be

858
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Maybe you gotta go to twenty tea's we're still only

859
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: getting one team in and there's sixteen.

860
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: Hey, Jim, did you fix the timeebreaker?

861
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 4: Jay?

862
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: Jim Maryland should not be getting in ahead of us.

863
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 5: Okay, Vanderbilt's not getting it ahead of us.

864
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 4: Hey, Vanderbilt's cooking and they've got the conference lobbyists that

865
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 4: are in the room already.

866
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 5: So told you was gonna happen. It's gonna happen.

867
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: It's that simple exit out by a Fresca exit swollen dome.

868
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon

Speaker 1: of the day, Michigan looking for a new head coach.

00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I know who it's gonna be. It's

872
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna upset somebody on the show.
