11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was interesting, interesting choice.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: You got to mix it up sometimes.

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when you're like you, you stay

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: in one lane and you never really get out of

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: that lane. So it's kind of boring and not true,

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: basic and just all the things that's not true.

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: I've I've brought out the Narcos theme.

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: Buddy. You didn't even know who Neo was. You didn't

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: know even how to pronounce neoo. I mean, why would

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: why would you have known that?

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: Though?

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: Because I listened to a variety of music.

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean why would you he?

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: Actually I almost picked Neo one of Neo's songs for

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: one of my songs. Maybe it will at some.

26
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: Point, But why would you have known that I didn't

27
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 3: know who that was? How would you have known that?

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: Why would I have known?

29
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Because you're so concerned about reads that I had to

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: check up to make sure that you knew how to

31
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: pronounce the names of those artists.

32
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: Oh so it had nothing to do with Raddy schweeka

33
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: behind the scene.

34
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: It's actually it was Actually that is professionalism of our

35
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: producer Patti Sweet. When I asked him, I said, hey,

36
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: does Jonas need help with some of the reads today?

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Being that LeVar is out and I know that Jonas

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: probably isn't aware of some of who some of those

39
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: artists are.

40
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well, and there.

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Was feedback given that. Thanks for being a good team player.

42
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 1: Jonah says he's got it covered, even though he skipped

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: over Neo's.

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: Name on the First Street.

45
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: Interesting, all right, Yeah, I like ra sweeks, Raddy sweeks.

46
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: I like when Jonas gets.

47
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: It's it's not sensitive, it's just you know, apparently apparently

48
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: that's what's going on behind the scenes.

49
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's what's going on.

50
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,679

Speaker 3: Paul Morosi, who is joining us here live from Houston.

64
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: I've never seen somebody so thrilled. Obviously being a professional,

65
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: you know, not showing any favoritism, but John Paul Morosi,

66
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: who you see on the MLB network, you hear him

67
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: here on Fox Sports Radio, analyst insider if it's the NHL,

68
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: if it's the Olympics, but a true, true, proud member

69
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: of the family here and a proud fan of the

70
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: Italian culture. JPM, good morning to you. Shots of espresso

71
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: for everybody as you've been covering Team Italy and the

72
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic.

73
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 4: Bon Gioro Gomevava. They're going to benvoy.

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: With you.

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

76
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: When you think about the Italian national team, which at

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: this moment in time is four and zero having beaten

78
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 5: the United States, we talk about great music, either your

79
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: your celebratory song or your walk up song. When the

80
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 5: Italians win the game, which has happened now four times,

81
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 5: they play Gonde partierro by Andre bo Celli, and it

82
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: is a it is a very emotional moment. It is

83
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 5: just a beautiful way to end the baseball game. It's

84
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 5: We've heard a lot of a lot of great music.

85
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 5: It is right now a tie between that Songariro by

86
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 5: Mocelli and the fact that earlier on in this in

87
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 5: this tournament all schemes of course attended the US Air

88
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 5: Force Academy for two years. Took the mound to the

89
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: top gun theme that was a Goosebumb's moment too. We've

90
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: had a lot of great music, a lot of great

91
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 5: moments here in Houston, and there is more to come,

92
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: my friends, if.

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: You could JP and obviously good to have you on.

94
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: Going to be talking with you again, just summarize the

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: excitement that the World Baseball Classic has created. It feels

96
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: like after the Olympics for hockey, there's that huge moment

97
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: for the US and maybe the momentum behind that and

98
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: how that's going to impact the youth and the NHL

99
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: moving forward. Is this one of those events that maybe

100
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: the baseball can capitalize off of as well?

101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Brady, it is a great point, and it absolutely is.

102
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: I was very honored my parents were able to fly

103
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 5: down from Michigan to watch some of the games here

104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: in Houston, and and you know, they've been watching sports

105
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 5: their whole lives. They've seen a lot of great sporting

106
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 5: events and just to see their eyes light up at

107
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: what this atmosphere is like. And they were meeting fans

108
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: from Mexico that were sitting all around them during the

109
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: US Mexico game. But they had such a great experience

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 5: spending time with them, and that is the essence of

111
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 5: this tournament. There's social media now is lighting up with

112
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 5: great images of the Dominican and Venezuelan players embracing and

113
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: just enjoying competing against each other. That's what this is about.

114
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 5: Of course, everybody here wants to win, but it is

115
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: being part of it, and that is so much of

116
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: what the Olympic spirit is, of course, and we saw

117
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: that in the US being able to win both gold

118
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 5: medals and hockey, and the way that Alysslu won it

119
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: figure skating, and just it is. It is certainly that

120
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 5: the honor and the competing. Obviously everybody wants to win,

121
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 5: but it is being there and being part of it.

122
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: It is not possible, in my opinion, to watch World

123
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 5: Baseball Classic games, whether it's on TV or especially in

124
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: person and not have your heart moved by the players,

125
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: the fans, the spirit of those that love this tournament

126
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: and watch it. The crowds here in Houston have been unbelievable.

127
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 5: In Miami, of course, it is the same in San Juan,

128
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: Puerto Rico, with the Puerto Rican national team being able

129
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 5: to qualify for the next round. Extraordinary environment there. And

130
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 5: of course Japan. I say this, it's my wish that

131
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: all baseball fans have a chance to see baseball games

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 5: in Japan because it's a very moving and emotional experience.

133
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 5: So it's you're right, Brady, it's it's been great baseball.

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 5: But on top of just the great baseball, the great pitching,

135
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 5: the great hitting. It's been an almost spiritual experience of

136
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 5: sport that we've seen. And we're not done yet. We

137
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 5: got US Canada tonight, So put part three in the trilogy,

138
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 5: US Canada Women's Hoaki, US Canada Menzaki, and now we've

139
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 5: got US Canada Baseball. So the trilogy of the early

140
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 5: part at twenty twenty six ends tonight, and then of

141
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 5: course some amazing matchups the Italians against Puerto Rico tomorrow

142
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: as well.

143
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: John Palumrosi joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Fox

144
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: Sports Radio, MLB analyst and insider MLB Network. You can

145
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: see him as well too, live from Houston covering the

146
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classics. So let me ask you this, because

147
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: I think everybody kind of feels the same. You watch it.

148
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: It's fun, people are fired up. It sort of, you know,

149
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: gets rid of any dividing line between rooting for teams.

150
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: You're rooting for your country, not so much your individual teams.

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: So that being said, why is it only every three years?

152
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they want to work this into the rotation more?

153
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: And has that been a discussion, Well, Jonahs, it's an

154
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: excellent question.

155
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: I think, first and foremost it is. It's a big,

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 5: big undertaking to host it is. It is a lot

157
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: of work just on the capacity of the Commissioner's Office.

158
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 5: The MLBPA of course is involved in it too. There's

159
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 5: also and we've already seen it with the conversation about

160
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 5: Trek Skouble and his agonizing decision about going back to

161
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: the Tigers camp because he felt like he had to

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: make sure that he was there with his team. It's

163
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 5: it's a lot on the pitching. You have to get

164
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: ready earlier than you typically do. And so I'm with you, Hey,

165
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: I'd love it every year too, But I think that

166
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 5: that MLB feels like every three or four years is

167
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 5: about the right interval. Of course, we have the potential

168
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: of baseball being back in the Olympics in twenty eight.

169
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 5: The CBA expires after this year. There's a lot of

170
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 5: conversation about where the labor negotiations will go, so I

171
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 5: would love to see it more more routinely. This, I

172
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: think feels like the right the right interval. The one

173
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 5: thing I would say is that the next step to

174
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: make it even bigger than it is right now is

175
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 5: to play the finals in the middle of the season,

176
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: and whether you have an express version of this at

177
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 5: the All Star Break, or maybe you play the preliminary

178
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 5: rounds in March, that you play the quarter semifinals in

179
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 5: July and elongate the All Star Break. That I think

180
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 5: is the next step. The other thing you could see

181
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 5: and I would love to see this too, is a

182
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 5: routine showdown series between Team USA and the Dominican Republic

183
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 5: or Team USA and Team Japan, and that way there's

184
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 5: more consistent playing of this national team Jersey with the

185
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: other titans of global baseball. Certainly, the games at this

186
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 5: point have been amazing, but you can also just distill

187
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 5: it to a seven game series. Maybe you play three

188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 5: games in la and then four in Tokyo. However you

189
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 5: want to do it. But you're the general point you're making.

190
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: Jonas is spot on, which is international baseball best done best,

191
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 5: just like international hockey best done best is magic, and

192
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 5: we got to capitalize on it and do it more often.

193
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 5: And to the NHL's point, they're gonna now do it

194
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 5: every every other year. You're going to have a major tournament,

195
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 5: either the Olympics or the World Cup of Hockey. It

196
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: was the Four Nations a year ago with the amazing

197
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 5: game in Montreal with the three fights in nine seconds

198
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 5: that we'll always talk about that that is, and I

199
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 5: was fortunate to be in the building for that too.

200
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 5: I'm pretty lucky as a fan those moments. The idea

201
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 5: there for hockey is every other year, so twenty six Olympics,

202
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 5: twenty eight World Cup. I think hockey is figuring it out.

203
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 5: Baseball hopefully it's getting there too. That best done best

204
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 5: is one of the best ways, as Brady said earlier,

205
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 5: to grow the game. And there are gonna be kids

206
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 5: that watch the Olympics. They're gonna be kids that are

207
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 5: watching this tournament right now who are saying I want

208
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 5: to play for Team USA. And it is getting easier

209
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 5: and easier now to recruit players to play because they

210
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 5: all see how much fun it is.

211
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: I guess the only question I have in that regard

212
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: JP is you know, how much is too much?

213
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: You know?

214
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: I feel like one of the issues with baseball, one

215
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: of these us really that basketball is dealing with right now,

216
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: is because basketball doesn't have a signature event like this.

217
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: I think they'd like it to be.

218
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: The All Star Game doesn't really feel like it becomes that,

219
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, they try to do that middle of the

220
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: season and what NBA Cup, what do they call it?

221
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of falling flat on its face.

222
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: But with hockey and baseball, they've really got something here.

223
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: And I also I kind of feel like the scarcity

224
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: of it, though, is what makes it such a big deal.

225
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you start making it every year, does

226
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: that take away a little bit from like the luster

227
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: of it or the intensity of it because it's not

228
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: every year. You don't have that shot next year, you

229
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: got to wait another two years. Isn't that part of

230
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:54,359
Speaker 1: the conversation.

231
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 5: It is great, It's an excellent point, and that's why

232
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 5: I think problem two years as hockey is doing it,

233
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 5: or whether it's every third year for MLB, And we

234
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 5: don't know, I should be clear, we don't know when

235
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 5: the next WBC will be. That there will be another one,

236
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 5: and I think that everybody's realizing how important it is,

237
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 5: but we don't know exactly when. And I think to

238
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 5: your point, it will more than likely never be every

239
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 5: single year. I think every other year is from hockey standpoint,

240
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: it's probably the soonest that you would ever do it.

241
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: And obviously now we've got twenty six with the World

242
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 5: Baseball Classic, and we could have the twenty eight Olympics

243
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 5: with major league players. We don't know that for sure,

244
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: it's still being discussed, but the potential of major league

245
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: players in that Olympic tournament, I think is so enticing.

246
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 5: And Brady's sort of you know, the Olympic spirit so

247
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 5: well and through your family. It's just it's the it's

248
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 5: there's nothing like it. There's there is nothing like it.

249
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the world baseball class to give

250
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 5: the extraordinary. I think that if you have major league

251
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 5: players in the in the Olympics and you're playing at

252
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 5: Dodger Stadium and it's Paul Skins against Otani and and

253
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 5: you're deciding the gold medal with with that matchup, which

254
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 5: you know, you could say it sounds a little improbable. Well,

255
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 5: we thought of that way until Otawani struck out Mike

256
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 5: Trout and it proved it that that the baseball guys

257
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 5: are keeping an eye on all this for us. And

258
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 5: it's been a lot of fun. So it really is.

259
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 5: It's been It's been great and to your point, it

260
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 5: could it could still even get greater. Uh, if we

261
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 5: have a chance to watch the gold medal game at

262
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 5: Dodger stadium and all these same stars are back there

263
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 5: with the Olympic rings. It's just it's been so much fun,

264
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 5: and I feel like every couple of years, let's let's

265
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 5: make sure we keep having this great meeting of the

266
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 5: of the best baseball players and best baseball fans in

267
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 5: the world.

268
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: I love that idea.

269
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: There's only one ish you have again with that JP

270
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: is is the eligibility requirements to be a part of

271
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: each country. I mean, what's happening with Italy. I'm looking

272
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: at the roster. These guys are born like half of

273
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: them are born in the Midwest.

274
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: Problem, we got guys from Florida and Calia.

275
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: We're looking through what it qualifies to be and it

276
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: feels feels a little flimsy. You know. It's like, all right,

277
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: my my name ends in a vow and apparently I

278
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: can play for Italy.

279
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: It feels like it's as simple as that.

280
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: If it sounds Italian, why can't it be considered Italian?

281
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

282
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Just I'm just saying, like, what are we doing here

283
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: with these the whole eligibility for these various countries.

284
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: It feels like it's like, all right, like maybe the

285
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: espresso thing.

286
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: I get it, but like some of these guys are

287
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: born in the Midwest and like from Michigan, and yet

288
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're they're they're a part of

289
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: team Italy.

290
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 5: Right, No, so here. So basically, Brandy, it's it's a

291
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 5: very fair question, and it absolutely has come up. I'll

292
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 5: give you the the the eligibility answer, the quick one,

293
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 5: which is that in the World Baseball Classic, unlike with

294
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 5: the Olympics and the WBC, you just have to prove

295
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 5: that either you have a parent born in that country,

296
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 5: which is why they're for example here with Canada tonight,

297
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: they'll be players who are American passport holders but had

298
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 5: parents born in Canada, they can play for Canada. So

299
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 5: that's that will be the case for some of the

300
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: players tonight. So that's that's one way of doing it,

301
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 5: if you have a parent born in that country, or

302
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: with with the Italian situation, if you can prove that

303
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: you're eligible for citizenship, not the same thing of having

304
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: the actual passport, but if you can prove that you're

305
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 5: eligible and and Brady, this is this is I say

306
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 5: this as an Italian American myself. The rules to be

307
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 5: an Italian citizen are a little more flexible than basically

308
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 5: every other country in Europe. It's not.

309
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: My father in laws trying to do this for my

310
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: wife and his son, and it feels like outside of

311
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: some fall through on his port, it's a done deal.

312
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: Like if they want to be citizen in Italy, they

313
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: can have dual citizenship.

314
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: Right, so Brady, you can. So you know, we're we've

315
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: been friends for a long time. When we're offline, you

316
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 5: want to give me a shout, I will I will

317
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: help you knock you through the process as an Italian

318
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 5: American myself on this to help you and your face basically, Brady,

319
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 5: at some point in time, uh you know, uh, if

320
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 5: Alicia gets to gets the passport and the kids all

321
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 5: get it, the only thing and my wife has gone

322
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: through this too, then you if you want to get

323
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: the Italian passport too, there's this one small little step,

324
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 5: which is you'd have to pass the Italian fluency test.

325
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 5: All right, that's a small step for you. You're a

326
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: brilliant man, Notre Dame graduate.

327
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: You could do it.

328
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 5: You would just have to take so you'd have to

329
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 5: just take the test. But but so for the Italian rules,

330
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: which admittedly and we don't have to go too far

331
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: deeply into it. They've gotten a little bit harder to

332
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 5: qualify for it. There's been some changes in the Italian

333
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 5: Parliament in the last six to ten months, so the

334
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 5: rules are changing. But Italian citizenship, if you have a

335
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 5: grandparent born in the US whose whose parent was still

336
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: an Italian citizen at the time they were born, they're eligible.

337
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 5: And so that's how you get Sam Antonacci from Springfield, Illinois.

338
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: That's how you get Dante Nori from Northville, Michigan playing

339
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 5: for the Italians. And so all of those, all of

340
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 5: those rules, that's all, that's all legit. And the other

341
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 5: thing I would say on this is, you know, I

342
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 5: have not looked into this, Brady, but I think that

343
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 5: there's you know, you're a busy man, but there might

344
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 5: be a calling out there for you. If the Irish

345
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 5: national baseball team needs a great general manager and leader,

346
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 5: I think Brady Quinn is the man to do it.

347
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 5: In the future World Baseball Classics.

348
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that sentiment, but this is for

349
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: a conversation, I'll flying, so we'll get that at some points.

350
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: The details for some things up in the old family

351
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 2: tree there.

352
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all of a sudden, uh, you know, things changed.

353
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: I started to rethink, uh, you know, growing up and

354
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: how how we looked at Brady Quinn. But I would

355
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: say this, I've I've actually picked up food from Buca

356
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: to Bepo. Would that qualify me for potentially getting on

357
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 3: the roster for next WBC for the also.

358
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: Terrible bio It smells like garlic. I feel like that

359
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 1: could help the qualification.

360
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we don't want to be judgmental.

361
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to get a you know, get a

362
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: spot on the roster here.

363
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 5: James, I will. So here's the thing we'd have to

364
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: we'd have to see Jonahs. I think that the biggest test. Now,

365
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 5: if you've noticed how the Italians are arriving to the

366
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 5: ballpark is is they're all arriving in Armani suits. Oh

367
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 5: so we I think the biggest test is Jonas, how

368
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 5: would you arrive on the arrival like the TV arrival shot?

369
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 5: How how how smoothly do you pull off the Armani look?

370
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: You know, and you know it is funny about about

371
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: watching Italy games. So when they show the crowd, because

372
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: my wife is Mexican, so when Mexico was in it.

373
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: I mean they really showed out, especially in Houston there

374
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: and and they I mean it was Luca Libra masks

375
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: and cowboy hats and all that stuff. When the when

376
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 3: the Italians are breast all, yeah, everything you would want,

377
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: everything you look for in something like that. But when

378
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: the Italians are playing, when they show the fans and attendance,

379
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's wearing an Italian baseball jersey. It's

380
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 3: like all Fabio Cannavaro soccer jerseys. Everything is a soccer jersey.

381
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't even know if they make baseball jerseys. So

382
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 3: there is a sort of momentum building towards supporting the team,

383
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: but I still feel like, you know, they're like, hey,

384
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: you know, when's the soccer break? A soccer game going

385
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: to break out here in the middle of a baseball fields.

386
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 5: It's a fair question. First of all, I will say

387
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 5: that the Thesuri jersey, and of course that the Italians

388
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 5: the flag is white and red and green. But we

389
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: we wear these the beautiful we of the Italians. What

390
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 5: they have, these these blue and white, gorgeous jerseys. Because

391
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: the House of Savoy, the royal family that used to

392
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 5: the rural Italy centuries ago, so they've always worn blue,

393
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: including for the Italian soccer team. That's by tradition, So

394
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 5: I would recommend I do think as a souvenir, the

395
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 5: jerseys are are quite nice. The other thing is is

396
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 5: the big picture here, and this is this is sincere.

397
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: I say this as an Italian American. If you're if

398
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 5: you're going to represent a country, even if you didn't

399
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 5: grow up there, but you're doing it because of your family.

400
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 5: That's also really important. And there are a number of

401
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: players on Team Mexico who were born or raised in

402
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: the US but have Mexican parents, and for them it's

403
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 5: their way of honoring their heritage. And so it's not

404
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 5: exactly the same thing as the Olympics. You're right, For

405
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 5: the Olympics, you have to be a passport holder. You

406
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: have to be a passport holder. There are European Baseball

407
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 5: tournaments that that happen, you've got to be a passport

408
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 5: holder for those. But for this, the MLB and the MLBPA,

409
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 5: the way they've written the rules, they allow you to

410
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 5: represent your family. And I do think as someone who's

411
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 5: Italian American, my wife's Mexican American too, so I get

412
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 5: the full, the full experience of this group here where

413
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 5: you've seen all these fews play each other. It is

414
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 5: representing your family, and I do think that is a

415
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 5: noble part of it. And it's been in addition to

416
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 5: noble entertaining as all. Heck, as we're watching these games

417
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 5: play out and the cultures are coming together, so Italy

418
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 5: Puerto Rico tomorrow will be fascinating. Certainly, we've unfortunately lost

419
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 5: the Mexican presence from this tournament because there have been

420
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 5: so the fans there are just unbelievable, So it'll be

421
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 5: that the ballpark won't be the same without them. But

422
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 5: now up to the Americans and the Canadians to show

423
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 5: up tonight and then the Italians and Puerto Ricans here

424
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 5: in Houston tomorrow.

425
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, say, outside of Ice, I don't really see anything

426
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: standing in the way of the World Baseball Classic here

427
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: in the States.

428
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a slamming success. I do.

429
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: Do you want to ask you this, JP, Can you

430
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: get us some betting advice, help the listeners.

431
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: Out, help them win a little bit of money.

432
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: How do you foresee the games going that you just

433
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: mentioned in particular, USA, Canada, I know USA is a

434
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: heavy favorite.

435
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: Is that what you're leading on this one?

436
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 5: So it's it's a great question, Brady. I'm I'm terrible

437
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 5: at advice on this in this area of the world.

438
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: And by the way, to this point, talking about the

439
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 5: randomness of this tournament, the two pool winners that are

440
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 5: meeting here in Houston, those pools were won by Canada

441
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 5: and Italy, which is just how everybody had it drawn up.

442
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: Where you've got Puerto Rico and the US are the

443
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: number two seeds and the number one seeds are Canada

444
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 5: and Italy. Remarkable. I think Canada is I think Canada

445
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 5: has a better chance than a lot of people realize

446
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 5: that they've got a major league starter of my Soroka

447
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 5: on the mound. Their lineup I think hasn't even gotten

448
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 5: good yet. From the standpoint of the really big run

449
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 5: scoring that the offensive dynamics in Puerto Rico were somewhat

450
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 5: depressed because the wind was blown it every day. It

451
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 5: was a hard place to hit and they still were

452
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 5: able to get through and finish first. So what the

453
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 5: final score is tonight, I can't even guess, but I

454
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 5: do think that Canada's got a much better shot at

455
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 5: winning than you might expect. And I think the same

456
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 5: thing is true for Italy tomorrow. I mean Italy has

457
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 5: played exceptionally well, so I think tonight's game, yes, still

458
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 5: probably the US favored. You'd expect the US to win,

459
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 5: but I think Canada's got a legitimate shot. I think

460
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 5: tomorrow is a complete toss up between Italy and Puerto Rico.

461
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 5: Total toss up. I think Italy's got to And by

462
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 5: the way, the starting pitcher for Italy tomorrow Brady domul

463
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 5: al de Gerty from Verona. Oh yeah yeah, on the mounds,

464
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 5: Ammuel Aldegery.

465
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 4: We got I think the coatural dynamics this team there

500

501
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: this song as they're bringing the casket in, and I

550
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: So you kind of spoiled this segment earlier because you

551
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 3: couldn't resist the Trinidad Chambliss bait that was presented to

552
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 3: you in his fight for eligibility. Moving forward, Sorry, I.

553
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: Was busy listening to a voice note from some slappy.

554
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: So so basically, I think I've come up with a

555
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 3: solution for somebody in football, OK, and I want to

556
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: hear your thoughts on this.

557
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: All right.

558
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: We open up the show talking about Kyler Murray signing

559
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 3: with the Minnesota Vikings, and the question then becomes, all right,

560
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: if he's going to be the starter, which I think

561
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 3: everybody presumes he's going to be the starter there, what

562
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: do you do if you're JJ McCarthy, Because it's not

563
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: like they're just gonna cut him. I'd assume they're not

564
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: just gonna trade him, because, as you pointed out, Kyler

565
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: Murray could have some issues in health wise, and so

566
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: maybe you're gonna need JJ McCarthy. And they did draft him,

567
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: you know, high overall. So I think I figured out

568
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: what JJ McCarthy needs to do. He's got to change

569
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 3: his number. Okay, he's got to change his number.

570
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: And he's got too tough to do, mano.

571
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I'm saying.

572
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 2: He's what number doing. I'm change to anything. Anything.

573
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: He's gotta get that look when he gets when he

574
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: turns into nine.

575
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: He's got to distance himself as much as he can

576
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: from that toolish comment he made talking about his number

577
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: and his alter ego, and the only way he's going

578
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: to do that is ditching the number.

579
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably true. I feel like that's where you've

580
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: got to have a close circle of friends. And I'm

581
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to have guys in my life that they

582
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: just say, stop, eat a d bag. I don't don't

583
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: ever say that again, you know, don't don't do that.

584
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, they kind of keep you in check. I

585
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: don't know if he's got those guys around him, if

586
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: he does they're not doing.

587
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: A good job. But maybe you're not wrong. Maybe the

588
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: number change would help solve a.

589
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: Lot of issues, because it's not like, well, he needs

590
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: a fresh start, you know, change of scenery. No, man,

591
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: he just needs a different number. And he may really

592
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: love that number, and clearly he does, but you got

593
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 3: to transition and you got to get the hell away

594
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: from that.

595
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: What does this have to do with Trinidad.

596
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: Chobless, Well, no, because I didn't know if there was

597
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: still meat on the bone there, because maybe he's going

598
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 3: to be eligible and maybe he's not, or this thing

599
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: just going to play out.

600
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really interesting to see how

601
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: it plays out, because I do think that he doesn't

602
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: have a He doesn't have a great case in my mind,

603
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: all right. And for those who don't know, he's applied

604
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: for a six year of eligibility. He's basically trying to

605
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: take what was and this has happened in other places too.

606
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: They're trying to take jucos and not qualify that as

607
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: NCAA eligibility.

608
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: And there probably is an argument.

609
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: To be made for some of the attorneys out there

610
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: who want to make that argument, or people who probably

611
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: are old Miss fans that don't have a clue, but

612
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: they just want to make the argument to bring him back.

613
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: But in reality what could take places. You know, the

614
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: NCAA could win this and then Trinidad Cholmlinson, you know,

615
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: his group could appeal, but I don't know if they

616
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: go outside of the state of Mississippi where they have

617
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: to find a what seemed to be a very big

618
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: Old Miss fan as a.

619
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: Judge, I'm not sure they're going to rule in his favor.

620
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, the timing of when all

621
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: this takes place could impact the draft. And I would

622
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: say this about Trinidad Cholbass he actually has more starting experience,

623
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: including all levels of play at quarterback if you if

624
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: you you know, add on outside of Old Miss, then

625
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Ty Simpson does. And I think what would be interesting

626
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: is this quarterback class is one of which Fernando Mendos'

627
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: number one. But I don't know how far Ty Simpson's behind,

628
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know how far Trinida Chambles would behind.

629
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about next year's draft class and

630
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: how many guys be a part of it. We've been

631
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: including Trinidad Chelmas as part of that I think with

632
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: another year of starting, he's only going to help himself

633
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: because you.

634
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: Know, there's a little bit of a thought that isn't played.

635
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: Much, so you get a little more experience at that level,

636
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: and he looks that much more prepared. But I just

637
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: felt like as the season went on, he kept getting

638
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: better and better and better. He's got a ton of upside.

639
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: He's a great athlete, he's got a strong arm, he's

640
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: a good decision maker. The only reservation you've got is

641
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks who've played in Lane Kiffin's system have really

642
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: struggled with the transitioning to the NFL, and so that's

643
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna be something where somebody who gets him is probably

644
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: getting a guy who, yes, has a ton of upside

645
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: and value, and maybe they view him as the second

646
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: best quarterback if he's deemed ineligible and would have to

647
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: go into the draft or even the supplemental draft this summer,

648
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: like they might have said, hey, this kid would we

649
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: might have liked him better than Ty Simpson. But the

650
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: problem is, how's he going to showcase himself. You know,

651
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be too late to.

652
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: Do a pro day.

653
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it may be the best thing for him

654
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: because what a lot of scouts and organizations would have

655
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: to go off of is just the film, which is

656
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: probably what they should be doing anyway.

657
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: So it could get interesting here in the next few months.

658
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: And as always we say this, you know, his case

659
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: could be precedent setting for a lot of other players

660
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: out there who are going to try to.

661
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: Do the same thing. So there's a chance. Again I'm

662
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: not saying this because when when is the NCAA going

663
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: to make their decision? When are we going to get

664
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 3: a ruling on this?

665
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: And is there going to be Well, there's alread an injunction.

666
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: Now it's not the NCAA. They've already appealed, so it'll

667
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: have to go to the court system. I have no

668
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: idea the.

669
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: Timetable WRT so, but it takes a while.

670
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: Ole Missus spring game is April thirteenth, so there's a

671
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: chance that he could be at ole Miss's spring game

672
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: and then two weeks later he's getting drafted in the NFL,

673
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 3: which is kind of great. You know, I'll be like

674
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: I would, I would love to see how that plays out.

675
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: That's kind of that's kind of fascinating. And if you

676
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: had to bet over under third round, where does he

677
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: get drafted.

678
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: I would say under that.

679
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: Again, it's my opinion watching him this year comparing the

680
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: ty Simpson, they compare very favorably. He's got more of

681
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: an athletic element to his game than I think ty

682
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: Simpson does. As far as his ability to create extend

683
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: plays move out of the pocket, I think the difference

684
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: is ty Simpson makes some NFL throws like he's probably

685
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: more prepared even with both as far as the lack

686
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,959
Speaker 1: of experience at the you know, power for Division one level,

687
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: ty Simpson was running in NFL concepts and schemes. Like

688
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: when you watch his reads, when you watch his progressions,

689
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: you see him move through there, You're like, Okay, this

690
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: is what he's gonna be asked to do at the

691
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: NFL level. You know, it's not a lot of just

692
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, RPO or one and done or he's kind

693
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: of being directed to throw this route, which you get

694
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: some of that in other systems out there where you're

695
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: not actually reading.

696
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: The d defense you're just looking at the sideline or you're.

697
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: Getting to play and you know where the football is

698
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: supposed to go and that's where you're going with the football.

699
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: That makes life a lot easier, but that's also not what.

700
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: Life is like in the NFL. So uh, there's.

701
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: Gonna be different opinions on it. But I think he's

702
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: a guy I would consider in the first round. I

703
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: don't think he gets out of the second round. If

704
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: indeed he would be deemed ineligible, would have to go in.

705
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: This year's draft.

706
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a crazy, crazy situation. Ty Simpson, by the way,

707
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 3: favored to be drafted by the Arizona Cardinals on DraftKings.

708
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 3: So that's the that's the shortest odds at plus one fifty,

709
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 3: follow by the Jets at two to one.

710
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: So and where are the Cardinals draft out of they

711
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: had three or four?

712
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: That sounds I thought it was somewhere that that vicinity efforting.

713
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: The question is would anyone else want to take him

714
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: and trade up ahead.

715
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: Of their three the Cardinals?

716
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: Okay, so you know, is someone going to trade up

717
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: with the Jets to take him instead?

718
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: And that's the concern that you'd have if you Arizona.

719
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: It's always the concern that's there, especially in a draft

720
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: class that Phil thin at.

721
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: The quarterback spot.

722
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: So you know, again, this decision eventually that will come

723
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: take place. It's obviously impactful for the NFL draft, whether

724
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: Trinidad Chomlas is a part of it or not. Right,

725
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: if for one of those teams that may be looking

726
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: for one but want to wait and see and you know,

727
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: maybe one a guy's more developmental. I mean, honestly, like

728
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's a team that kind of hits me, where if

729
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: Rogers comes back for a year, I wouldn't exclude them

730
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: from being a team that would want a draft a

731
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: quarterback that could sit behind Rogers for a year, watch

732
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: him learn, especially for a guy like Cholmless and then

733
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: eventually turn into a player that to me has like

734
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: early early on big ben qualities right, like great at

735
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: being able to extend plays. He's tough, he's physical, he's

736
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: he's a really good player, but has a ton of

737
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: upside and a live arm. So there's there's a lot

738
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: there to work off of the Trinidad Chamlins and Pittsburgh's

739
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: picking at twenty one. Also, so on the subject of

740
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: ty Simpson, even like I could see if he's there

741
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: and they and they go, you know, give him a year,

742
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: let him sit behind Rogers, and then yeah, I just

743
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: like future I think again, if Rogers is coming back,

744
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: I think you build around Rogers unless you find a

745
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: guy who falls through that you feel like it's more

746
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: of a project as higher upside. I'm not sure I

747
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: see ty Simpson getting outside the top ten, just because.

748
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: I do feel like there's enough of a need to Arizona.

749
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: Obviously the Jets have Geno Smith, but I don't, you know,

750
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: looking at that deal, I'm not necessarily sure it really

751
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: keeps them from drafting one two and doing the same thing.

752
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: But as we talked about before, they could be just

753
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: setting themselves up to try to get the twenty twenty seven.

783
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 8: earlier that it is the second Friday, the thirteenth. We've

784
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 8: had back to back months. So I had to look

785
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 8: up when, like how often this actually happens, and it

786
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 8: happens approximately every ten years, and it has to be

787
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 8: like a February to March month.

788
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,759

Speaker 2: Nice.

790
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,040

791
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 3: only time I could line up.

796
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 8: it can't do it at all. I don't know, it

797
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,239
