00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: haven't watched it of your own volition, than you're a fraud.

Speaker 2: Ensues crisp that that was a movie.

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: It's a better description that I saw for finding Nemo earlier,

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: talking about all sorts of murderous rage and following someone

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: who's really not much help avenging his mother's murder at

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: the hands of bad fish Exactly, he's able to catch

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: up with a ragtag cast of sharks that don't want

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: to eat people and a fish tank in a dentist office.

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Evil dentists. See, it's a common theme. It's an evil dentist,

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: always an evil dentist. Yeah, now we're in uh what

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: was a shop of horse? Yes, there we go. Okay,

36
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: it's the professionalism that I respect. So big story in

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: the NFL today. Here we are in President's Day. Big story.

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Uh maybe the dolphins hoping, well, you know what, we'll

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: try to new dump this thing on President's Day. No, no, no,

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: not so fast. Since most people don't remember that it's

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: a holiday unless you work for a company that shut

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: down or you need to mail something. I mean, you know,

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: President's Day is not usually one that jumps to the

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: forefront of how can we can dump something good quietly?

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Will we? U? Can can we make sure people aren't

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: going to talk about this and maybe people are going

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: to talk about the president's things instead? No, you're the NFL.

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: This is a big story. People are gonna talk about it. Yeah,

49
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: but uh, is there anything else people could talk about it?

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: That's your sale?

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Anything anything else we could know? No sale? The rebuild

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: is fully on in Miami, Miami waving forty three players today,

53
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: all right, well close to it? Uh, Tyreek Hill, Bradley

54
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: Chubb now ex members of the Dolphins. The Dolphins save

55
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: nearly twenty five million dollars in salary for this year.

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: But Tyreek Hill now his era in Miami is over. Now.

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: He's put a message on social media in the last

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: few hours saying Cheata is coming back. Don't worry. Cheatah

Speaker 1: I mean that that track that tracks. Yeah, And honestly,

63
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I've become way more first person friendly the last the

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: last few months because we're binging Brooklyn nine to nine

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: and Terry Creuz always goes first per sure, and it's

66
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: absolutely hilarious. Terry didn't like that. Terry's not sure, like, well,

67
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: all his first pirds and lives are is therapy. He's

68
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: also doing it because who are you gonna believe more

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: a Cheetah or Tyreek Hill? Oh yeah, it is true, Okay,

70
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: that is yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, Cheetah. Yep, fair, I'm

71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: with him that I'm with you. Unfair. So he says,

72
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Cheetah will be back everything all right now before we

73
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: get into the two aspect of this, because you know

74
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: two is next. You know two woke up today like,

75
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: who's got my playbook? Well? Good? Uh? All day.

76
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: Since Tyreek Hill.

77
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: Got cut by the Dolphins, all I've seen is people

78
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: foaming at the mouth with Oh, he's gonna be on

79
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: my team and we're gonna be great. Or he's going

80
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: back to the Chiefs and they're gonna be great. He's

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: gonna go to the Giants and they're gonna be great. Oh,

82
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a Steeler and they're gonna be great. Oh,

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: he could come out to either of the Los Angeles teams.

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: Rams are the Charge and they're gonna be great. And

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: I want to stop and say, Okay, this is a

86
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: football card conversation. This is one of those stories where

87
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: people get caught up and looking at the back of

88
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: a guy's football card and thinking, this is who we're getting.

89
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: We're getting seventeen hundred yards and sixteen touchdowns out of

90
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Now here, I am the voice of reason

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: and me being the voice of reason, How great is that?

92
00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 3: This?

93
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Whyde be great GM? When it came to player acquisitions,

94
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, Tyreek Hill, I'm gonna pass on that.

95
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: Right.

96
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: We don't even need to get.

97
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: To all the off the field stuff with Tyreek Hill,

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: but just stick on the field. He's thirty two years old.

99
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: He's coming off a devastating multi knee injury or multiple

100
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: injuries to different parts of his knee that he's got

101
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: to come back from. What's number one weapon, Tyreek Hill

102
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: has his speed? What could be affected the most his speed.

103
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: He's on a three year downturn for productivity, right, you know,

104
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: three years ago still terrific. Right still to a thrown

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: passes two years ago not so great. And this year,

106
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: until he got hurt, he was on pace to have

107
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: the same kind of season that he had the year before,

108
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: which is eighty some odd receptions, about one thousand yards,

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: four or five touchdowns, which is a far cry from

110
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill on his heyday, which was sixteen seventy hundred

111
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: yards fifteen touchdowns.

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: And how do we cover this guy?

113
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: Right? This is the Tyreek Hill you are getting.

114
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: You are not.

115
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: Getting the Tyree Kill back of his football card. Boy.

116
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: I just look at the best years at Tyree Killer,

117
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: think we get this guy. I look at the highlights

118
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: people are showing from the Chiefs or early days of

119
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and go, you're not getting that guy again,

120
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, coming off of a devastating injury

121
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: that you're not sure he's gonna come back for how

122
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: it's going to affect his speed and also diminishing returns

123
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: the last three years. I'm easily gonna say I'll pass

124
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: on Tyreek Hill. I'll let somebody else go in it

125
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: and say you want Tyreek Hill, Okay, good luck, good luck,

126
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: we'll go.

127
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: We'll go somewhere else.

128
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: We don't know what it's gonna be like bringing him in,

129
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: and we are going to figure something else out wide

130
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: receiver wise, whether it's in the draft or free agency.

131
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: Because he is a risk.

132
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: He is too much of a risk with where things

133
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: are with him physically and his age to say yes,

134
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: I can bring him in it we're gonna be great

135
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: next year.

136
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

137
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean you caveat and out the off field stuff,

138
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: but that's still part of the equation as you're trying

139
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: to make this decision and whether you're gonna commit top

140
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: dollar to him. Look, twenty four I can explain away

141
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: a little bit in terms of the overall productivity and

142
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: the ceiling that he reached. Now, it wasn't the greatest

143
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: deficiency rate on those deep balls, no, but his targets

144
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: were down a bunch. You get John new Smith who

145
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: had his eighty eight catches, and you also had the

146
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: rise of a chan So you had multiple parts of

147
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: that offense that were now taking up some of the

148
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: oxygen in the room. The draft, plenty of wide receivers,

149
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: is very deep draft. Talking with my guy Greg co

150
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Sell on our Sunday show this past week, as we

151
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: get ready and start launching towards the combine, which is

152
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: what eight short days away from that. But you look

153
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: at the free agent wide receivers out there. I'll get

154
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: back to the personality side of it in a second,

155
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: but you got Mike Evans, don't know what his future is.

156
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Is he going to be a buck for life? Maybe

157
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: not Christian Kirk even in limited spaces. If he's healthy,

158
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: it's going to cost you less. And he's shown that

159
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: he can go somewhere and make a big mark, right

160
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: as he did when he went to Jacksonville. Playing in Houston.

161
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Ahead some big games down the stretch. You're looking at

162
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, not the same player that he once was,

163
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: but more in line with what Tyreek Hill was in

164
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: terms of that straight line deep threat out there. Maybe healthy,

165
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: hopefully healthy. Yeah, I gotta I gotta solve a lot

166
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: of questions again off field slash personality and working within

167
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: a team construct. The guy that's the most intriguing to

168
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: me is what does Seattle to do with Rashid Shaheed?

169
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: Now they brought him in mid season, returner, big play threat,

170
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: he's a free agent. Are they gonna pay him? And

171
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker? I mean so like they've they've got some

172
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: big decision. They've got a lot of free agents they

173
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: need to look at as they look to defend that title.

174
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Like I'd be more apt to go after him. Many

175
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: years Tyreek Hills junior and still a threat in many

176
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: different ways on the football field, But curious what the

177
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: price of poker is to get into that game right now.

178
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: But that's also a thing that why again I will

179
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: pass son Tyreek Kill because all the guys you just

180
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: mentioned right, whether it's Christian Kirk or Brandon Ayu or

181
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, They're coming in and you go, Okay, this

182
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: is what we envision you doing for the team. You're

183
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: coming in as our third receiver, as our slot guy,

184
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: as our number two, and we're gonna pay you as such.

185
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: And this is what and we have a clear vision

186
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: of what you're going to be with this team. Tyreek Kill,

187
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: what is he? You have no idea. He's going to

188
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: want to get paid again. He's also going to come

189
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: in saying I'm gonna be the cheat again. I'm your

190
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: number one receiver. So what do you do? Because if

191
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: you're a team that hey, let's bring in Tyreek Kill,

192
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: you're bringing him in to be your number one receiver.

193
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't make it back from his injury,

194
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: he's not there. You are stuck because it's not like

195
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: you want not got anybody else, and you can't tell

196
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill. Hey, Tyreek here's the thing. We want you

197
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: to come in and be our number three because you

198
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: don't know, because how's that going to go? If Tyreek

199
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: Kill's going is showing up to be a number three receiver?

200
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: A he's gonna say no, be even if he has

201
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: no choice. Is he going to show up and be

202
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: happy with that role. No, he still thinks he's the cheetah.

203
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: If you sign him, you have to sign him going

204
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: you're our number one receiver, and that's too much of

205
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: a risk. If he was at the point where he knew, hey,

206
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: when you come in, you can't you know you're gonna

207
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: hopefully fit in here. It's a big sliding scale. He

208
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: wants you to be this, and if you're up higher

209
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: at this, that's great. But right now you know he's

210
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna come in saying I'm healthy, I'm your number one,

211
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: and teams can't do that. He kind of reminds me

212
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: of where Odell Beckham was and near the end of

213
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: his career where where teams and fans thought, oh, man Odell,

214
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: Oh we'll get him a new team, he's gonna be great. No,

215
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Odell's done. Odell has done too many injuries. Who knows

216
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: where he's at. He's done right now, and and he's

217
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: coming in as a curiosity. Tyree Kill is not at

218
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: that point now. He may be at that point at

219
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: some point, but he's not there right now. So to

220
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: bring him in here after this, it's too much risk

221
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, we're gonna entrust you with the passing game,

222
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: not knowing if you're gonna make it back from that injury.

223
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.

224
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: You've got it, and you bring him in as a

225
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: if it hits, we all win. But we've got other plans,

226
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: We've got other pieces to the roster. I just don't

227
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: know dollar wise, what it's gonna end up costing to

228
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: bring him in and what teams really want to play.

229
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: That poker mentioned a bunch of those receivers that are

230
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: out there. Juwan Jennings is another guy. You know, wide

231
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: receivers deep, and there's at least a dozen receivers on

232
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: the draft board that are projected first two days as

233
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: you go forward, and many by the end of that

234
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: first round. But for the Tyreek Hill side of it,

235
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: going back to twenty four, remember he came into twenty

236
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: five with a bunch of people ask him the questions

237
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: like are you done?

238
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: Are you broken down?

239
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Because of those numbers, like well, no, it can be

240
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: explained to wait by the offense. But he bristled at it,

241
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: wanted to be that guy, and then it was frustrated

242
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: because to it wasn't throwing the ball fifteen times a game, right,

243
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: So you already saw some shades of what it might

244
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: be if he has to take on the secondary role.

245
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: Played good enough soldier in twenty four, wasn't going to

246
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: do it again, and then he gets hurt. So it

247
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: never came to fruition and we watched Miami season unwrappled. Yeah,

248
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: there's just too many red flags. There's too many red

249
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: flags with him, right, there's just too many to say, Yeah,

250
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna come and everything's gonna be great. Now. I

251
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: know he'll wind up being connected to the Chiefs, and

252
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be a push of nostalgia. Hey,

253
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: the enemy's back, Mahomes will be healthy, come back and

254
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: do our thing, but I mean it. You know, this

255
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: would be the the Chiefs trying to shop in the

256
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: in the in a bargain basement type bin of hey,

257
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: instead of going out and getting a true number one

258
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: who's younger that can grow with mahomes Hey, let's go

259
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: back and try to recreate what was good four years ago.

260
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: You can't do that as well. But that's the thing

261
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs.

262
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: As we look at their roster, they're gonna have to

263
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: do some restructuring the contracts as it is, because they're

264
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: bloated currently two to one are the Chiefs three to one,

265
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: Buffalo four to one, New England looking for that deep

266
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: threat five to one Baltimore six to one Philly and

267
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers. But you're gonna have to get him on

268
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: an incentive laiden deal is the only way I'm bringing

269
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: them in and recognizing, Hey, if the cheat ain't back,

270
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: we got to figure out how this works. Because if

271
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: you don't have that top line speed, I can't have it.

272
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: But I certainly can't pay you top dollar to bring in.

273
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: It's a proven deal. Pass pass. I'm good with passing pass.

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: I'll pass pass Jets, you pass pass pass like I'm

275
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: playing taboo and I can't get the way how you

276
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: know I pass? I'm not gonna get you to say challet.

277
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: I can't say Swiss pass. You're not gonna smash Tyreek Hill.

278
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Pass pass, pass, pass pass, Tyreek kill again, no passing again,

279
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: passing up, just passing.

280
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah and all.

281
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Look, we went through the list of wide receivers that

282
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: are on the free agency market. All of them have

283
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: some semblance of an injury history. I'm still running to

284
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: them before I'm going to Tyreek Hill Exit out bout

354
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: You can't run things. So it's a normal sports storyline

355
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: this time of year to hear about rebuilding. Sure answers, Yes,

356
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: very building. Okay, okay, it's.

357
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: A thing.

358
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: We hear about rebuilding all the time. Now you're wondering

359
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: who's gonna rebuild, who's gonna go crazy an NFL free agency?

360
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: Who's not?

361
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: But it's quite another thing to hear about who we're

362
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: going to tell you has announced this is a rebuilding

363
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: year because they had a bad fourth quarter and they're

364
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna rebuild. And this is going to get into a

365
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: big football conversation. Wendy's has called twenty twenty six, quote

366
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: a rebuilding year, as they are going to close hundreds

367
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: of restaurants as they try to figure out recent performance struggles.

368
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: Now they didn't do well in the fourth quarter ten

369
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: percent decline in global sales. They need a comeback, so

370
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: they are going to shutter between five and six percent

371
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: of its restaurants roughly somewhere between three and three hundred

372
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: and fifty locations within the first half of twenty twenty six.

373
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: Their turnaround plan is called Project Fresh, which means they're

374
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: going to vow, you wait, what's going on across the country,

375
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: and then come back with whatever it's going to be

376
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: next year. It's a rebuilding and they're calling it, quote

377
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: a rebuilding year for Wendy's. This year kind of curiosity curious,

378
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: and the curiosity of it all is, you know, in

379
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: terms of their global marketplace, I haven't looked at the

380
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: Burger rankings. I mean, they've had to have fallen behind

381
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: the King because they redid things a couple of years ago.

382
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe Wendy's has ever ahead of the King.

383
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: They are number one for square burgers. I mean no, no, no,

384
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: because White Castle is better than them. Yeah, especially now

385
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: that you have the vending machines. Yeah, come on, frostburg

386
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: do some research, Okay, get your research with square burgers,

387
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: all right? Come on, man, how often do we talk

388
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: about white Castle suck?

389
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: Have I not suck?

390
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: Have I ag? Have I not taught you anything? In

391
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: the last second? White Castle small small square burgers.

392
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: I think I might just drive in the Nevada to

393
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 2: go get some this weekend.

394
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm going across the border.

395
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: But yet, I mean, I could go to the freezer section.

396
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: But that's just have to say, yeah, no, but yeah,

397
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: although I had to say, they taste remarkably the same

398
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: as if you get him in the restaurant.

399
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't imagine the vending machine.

400
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: No, no, no, if you get white Castle a frozen

401
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: in the frozen white Castle in the supermarket, it tastes

402
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: remarkably similar to white crossing the vending machine though, No, no, no,

403
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean in like in the in the refrigerating super

404
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: think about the vending machine, man, vending machine with different Yeah,

405
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: the white Castle vending machine. Here's the thing.

406
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 2: I want to buy one for our lobby and run it.

407
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: If I was I'll funded.

408
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: If they'll charge like forty seven dollars.

409
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: But I'll get to be the guy charging it. It'll

410
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: be my vending machine.

411
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: If I was in my thirties, I would trust meat

412
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: from a vending machine. But even with the advancements now

413
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: in my fifties, I don't know, man, I don't know

414
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: if it's really meat vending machine. Meat, say meat, like

415
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: I don't know your vending machine. Quote meat, Okay, if

416
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: you can't say, I'm doing the air quote all it's

417
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: meat vending machine. Yeah, I don't know that I can

418
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: trust that. Thirties, yes, fifties, I don't know, Okay, I

419
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: don't know. That's a little dice. That's a hard set,

420
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a that's a hard site.

421
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: But also the curiosity, right McDonald's was big about like

422
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: land ownership, and then you're renting from them, and so

423
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: there's always that revenue stream. Wonder if Wendy's is the

424
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: same way.

425
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: They own all those plots, well they have to.

426
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe all those off that this

427
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: three they're gonna close three hundred locations and that's like

428
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: almost not even ten percent of their total. Like I'm

429
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: like they have that many let's gross over expansion, but

430
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: certainly not by us. I mean that's gonna be a

431
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: high concentration in the rest. I mean for those unawares.

432
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: We're here in southern California.

433
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot. I have one Wendy's that

434
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: I know of anywhere near me.

435
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's I know a couple, but it's it's like

436
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: a ten to fifteen minute drive. Like you can't just drive.

437
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: It's all like, oh, there's a McDonald's here in the Starbucks. Sero,

438
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: why are they all next to your former houses? I

439
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: wanted right and that I could walk right. I live

440
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: right next door to I lived on top of a Wendy's.

441
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: He slept with his window open all the time and

442
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: have his snows No like that. That's that movie with

443
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: Channing Tatum when he slept on top of the when

444
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: he was in Toys r Ust. Like he lived on

445
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: top of McDonald's. It was pretty good. So, Mike, the

446
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: highest density of Wendy's. Where do you think the highest

447
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: density is Alabama? It's a Florida, followed by Texas, Ohio,

448
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: and California. Wow, all states where high school football is

449
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: is at the top of the level. You need more burgers,

450
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: so they need to steal the old eating good in

451
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. Now I ask you, I ask you this question. Yeah,

452
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: here is Wendy's. Yeah, who is going to in a

453
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: rebuild year? You are behind McDonald's and Burger King definitively. Now,

454
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: maybe you're behind other national Maybe you're behind Culvers, Maybe

455
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: you're behind in and Out, Maybe you're behind Fat Burger.

456
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, maybe now that in and Outs found

457
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: some of those operational efficiencies and they have expanded into

458
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: other states. I mean, maybe you are behind them as well.

459
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: But you're definitively behind McDonald's and Burking. You have been

460
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: long to you, dirt bags have been in third place

461
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: in the last five years. My Wendy's has been third

462
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: behind McDonald's and burg King. Now for the better for

463
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: my entire life, they've been in third place. But if

464
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: I said this to you, who has a better chance

465
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: at rebuilding successfully in twenty twenty six? Okay, twenty twenty six?

466
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: Is it Wendy's? Yeah? Is it the Browns, the Raiders

467
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: or the Jets?

468
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: I have indigestion.

469
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: Who has the better chance of rebuilding successfully in twenty

470
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: twenty six? Because I think it's Wendy's and it's not

471
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: even close. No, no, which is a slap in the

472
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: face of the rate we're getting for Nana Mendoza. Still

473
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I still don't think you can rebuild faster

474
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: than Wendy's. Man, that's slapping lipstick on a pig. You can.

475
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: Nana Mendoza will be great in interviews, He'll be great

476
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: after the forty eighth sack that he takes by week nine,

477
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: and they'll just keep smiling and getting up and being

478
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: beaten down again. Well, I really don't feel good, coach,

479
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: go back out there, Fernando. We're giving you a lot

480
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: of money. There's a white cast on just about five

481
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: miles from here go. But yeah, it's it's Wendy's easy

482
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: and I have no idea what their strategy is, and no,

483
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: no trying to break. But that's the thing being scientific

484
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: about it. Wendy's can just continue to try out new

485
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: menu items and and do research and continually try to rebuild.

486
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: They can come out with a new burger, new situation.

487
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: They can do whatever they want to and come out

488
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: and when they're ready, they're ready. You look at a

489
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: football team like the Jets of the Raiders, it's like, okay,

490
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: we think we have a quarterback, but then we put

491
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: them out there week one find out he stinks. Now

492
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: we're stuck for a whole other year. So scientifically, Wendy

493
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: should be able to rebuild.

494
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I mean, I don't know.

495
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: Is the difference between Wendy's and McDonald's the same difference

496
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: between like these three teams and the Seahawks, Like is

497
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: that how far? Like who's gotten more about who's got

498
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: more of a mountain declinb like Wendy's or these teams

499
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the NFL. And I here's the

500
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: according to a quick search top three and twenty twenty

501
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: four sales, Okay, McDonald's fifty McDonald's, it's McDonald's, I'm south

502
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: side kot it's McDowell's Old magdal McDonald's has the golden arches.

503
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: McDowell's has the golden arcs. See, we were talking about

504
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: good times earlier, so it all ties together. They have

505
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: the big Mac, We have the big mach.

506
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: You can't say that we have.

507
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: We have our flurry. The toppings are on the box, Jason,

508
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: the toppings are on the bott You said it. So anyway,

509
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: Wendy's twelve point six billion, the Burger King eleven Wow

510
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Yeah, they were ahead of Berger

511
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: to Hanniburg. Wow. That's what they're trying to bury the King.

512
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: That's that's where we're that's what we're.

513
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: Trying to do.

514
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: Now, we're trying to retool the menu and work smarter

515
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: and more efficiently to kill the King. So that's when

516
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: the Browns had that a couple of years ago when

517
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: Flako came off the couch and they made the playoffs. Hey,

518
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: we had one year where we finished about but the

519
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: rest of the years were all down. Okay, yeah, I

520
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: gotta imagine what are they second their second right now?

521
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: Saying Wendy's a second year really.

522
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: And then you start looking at even deeper down down

523
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: the well because they haven't opened up a lot of

524
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: location gen where you get to water Burger and Jack

525
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: in the Box five guys, yeah.

526
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: Five guys and whatever else.

527
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: They're all down there because they haven't had that rapid expansion.

528
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: But for Wendy's, the contraction will be interesting, like what

529
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: what are they gonna go do with their menu? There's

530
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: a bigger play here because there's been a million chicken

531
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: places that a properly. I don't think you can't go

532
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: to check.

533
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: You can't do chick.

534
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: They're not only coming for the King, They're coming for

535
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: the arch. You think they're coming for the archs. Oh yeah,

536
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: that's a five bagger if they can pull that.

537
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: And if then you pull that.

538
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: Off, well it'd be well because that would be a

539
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: bad year for Archers in general because you have the

540
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: Arch of McDonald's losing and you have arch Man's gonna

541
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: go number one to the Jets right off.

542
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: That's that's gonna be bad.

543
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Man. You guys are gonna Trevor Lawrence man, what arch

544
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: would have a worst year? Lawrence? What arch would have

545
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: a worst year if if McDonald's wound winds up under

546
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: Wendy's and Burger King? Answer is if Arch Manning goes

547
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: to the Jets. You forgot about number three. Who's not

548
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: the worst year?

549
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 6: Number three?

550
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: The smartest baseball fans in the world, the Cardinals, Okay, dummies.

551
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: Well you just put them on the Mettal stand of

552
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: bad arch years.

553
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: But I mean you think about that. I think this

554
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: is okay, what do we do when we come back

555
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: this year to be able to talk like Jason? You

556
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: can have directs say in this matter, how can I

557
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: do that? If you boycott and McDonald's, Oh, it lose

558
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: a lot of money? You had those a lot of money, Yeah,

559
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: they'd lose a lot of money. They lose a lot

560
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: of money.

561
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 2: And then you tell six friends.

562
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he doesn't even have to. But I'm with

563
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: you can't go to chicken because going to Chicken is like, hey,

564
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: we're putting out a new podcast. Well, there's too many podcasts.

565
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: Well a sports podcast coming up. Well, there's too many.

566
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: You're not going to cut through, like, no the chicken

567
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: places like okay, just so many places do chicken now.

568
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: But it's like the beverage market or beer market. I

569
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: don't need a huge a huge number of sales to

570
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: get rich, right. I could have a fraction of one

571
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: percent and still have pretty big sales because we're talking.

572
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look at those I just gave you fifty three,

573
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: twelve point six and eleven.

574
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: That's just your top three. But so if I just

575
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: get a fraction of that with my burger.

576
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: Joint, yeah okay, or my beer sale or my coffee

577
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: said or whatever I've won, oh selling beer at Wendy's,

578
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: that might do it.

579
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: Well.

580
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: That might be the way we get beer when remember

581
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: Starbucks tried that a little bit right, and then McDonald's.

582
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: You can get a beer, and I don't mean I'm

583
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: talking a glass of beer. You can get a beer.

584
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: I like that, but I think that that takes up

585
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: your insurance costs and the efficiencies probably get losses. But

586
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: we should look at the fact that Burger King is third,

587
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: like I can't believe, Like Wendy's is rebuilding and they're

588
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: ahead of Burger King. This is like the Dolphins. We're rebuilding.

589
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: We're getting rid of Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb. We're

590
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of Tua. But you're still ahead of

591
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. But this is recognized. We're rebuilding, but still

592
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: ahead of the Jets. But you've got a changing taste

593
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: in the American culture. We've seen the rise of all

594
00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: these chicken places. I don't know what's next, more Brazilian barbecues.

595
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: I don't know, Orbachi plays, here's how Urba conductions.

596
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.

597
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't have the answers for the Jets, the Browns

598
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: and the Raiders because whatever they do is going to

599
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: be wrong. But I will have I do have an

600
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: answer for Wendy right, Frosty No, No, Frosty's are terrible.

601
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: You gotta re You got to your raw. That's that.

602
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: Come on. You can't eat that's the worst.

603
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: You can't.

604
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: You can't even frosty. You laid to waste every food opinion.

605
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: It's a shade opinion.

606
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: It's a shake that you're supposed to drink, but you can't.

607
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: It's a dessert. It's not a it's not a ship.

608
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: It's not it's not supposed to be something that you

609
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: have to like use an ice pick to get at.

610
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Oh you do not use a nice spoonful? Is a

611
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: spoon ice pick?

612
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I could take I could take a Frosty from Wendy's,

613
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: put it down in my kitchen, go back forty five

614
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: minutes later and do the old dairy queen when they

615
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: turn over there over and it's still McDonald's hamburger on

616
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: your counterfeit nine years, eat it nothing. Jason, can't use

617
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: the straw. That thing is like been, No, you can't

618
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: use the straw. You can't. You can't drink a Wendy's

619
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: shake through the stroke shake you cannot, it's out of shake.

620
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: You can you two different things. It's it, but you

621
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: can't a beautiful chili give it off. No, But here's

622
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: what I would do. Here's what I would do, right, Okay,

623
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: And this is why, Okay, Jets, I can't help you,

624
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: because whatever you do, a quarterback is gonna building this Brown's.

625
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna go into with Shador Sanders and draft somebody raiders.

626
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: Good luck with Mendoz. It's still gonna be wrong. If

627
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: I was Wendy's. Here's how I do it is now

628
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: so much of fast food has gotten so expensive, right,

629
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I come back as Wendy's with

630
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a smaller menu, but it's way

631
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: less expensive. And that's what I go for. I go for, Oh,

632
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: the Burger's a little bit smaller square, but it's gonna

633
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be two ninety nine, the Burger's to

634
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: ninety nine or a dollar ninety nine, and I go

635
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: the Costco route of Well, I'm just gonna go to

636
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: Costco Food court and I can get a hot dog

637
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: and a drink for a dollar ninety nine, and I

638
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: can throw on a pizza and a and a coffee

639
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: drink for another four dollars, Right, and all of a sudden,

640
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm eating like a king and I'm out a Cosco

641
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: with ten bucks. Well you know what a king if

642
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about your competition, well knowing, but that copy's

643
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: got to be better than we're eating like a king.

644
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: Not about spent in costco right now.

645
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: If you have the.

646
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: Biggie bag, I just I bought forty seven tooth brushes.

647
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: I don't need any more tooth brushure for just ten dollars.

648
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: But that's what I do. If I am Wendy's, I

649
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: go to that, I go a much cheaper man. You

650
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: make things a little bit small, not crazy smaller, but

651
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller and way cheaper.

652
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: That's how I go.

653
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Get you back just six dollars. Biggie bag eight dollars,

654
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: I think out here in California, but you have that

655
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: where you have your choice of entree with your fry

656
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: and your drink everything. I want to get into a

657
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: burger fries and drink less than five bucks. People will

658
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: be in line. To God, I mean you would make

659
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: so much. I mean that that's how you do it,

660
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: That's how you cut through. I just solved Wendy to

661
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: pay people twenty bucks an hour here in California, kids,

662
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that I can solve it here.

663
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: Can't solve the Jets issues, but you'll never solve it.

664
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: I can solve that.

665
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm how to find out what's trending in the wide

Speaker 1: frosty in the freezer. Yes, and he's never recovered. We

686
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't be arguing with Jason. He has a black belt

687
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,800

689
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: from Frosty. That's ballooney. If he was coming after me,

Speaker 1: You know, teams are now getting to uh spring training.

751
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about Manny Machado and Steve Cohen

752
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: weighing in the last couple of days about basically how

753
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: they're both obsessed with the Dodgers. Uh. This is Bryce

754
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: Harper responding to what was said about him earlier in

755
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: this offseason by GM Dave Debrowski, who suggestsed in October

756
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: that two time NL MVP Bryce Harper may no longer

757
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: be an elite player. And this is what Harper had

758
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: to say about it over the weekend.

759
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 6: Kind of a wild situation, you know that even happening. Obviously,

760
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 6: I didn't have the year that I wanted. Obviously I

761
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 6: didn't have the postseason I wanted. My numbers weren't where

762
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 6: they where they needed to be. I know that. And

763
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 6: you know, I don't need to be motivated to be great,

764
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 6: you know, in my career anything else. So that's just

765
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 6: not a motivating factor for me, you know, for Dave

766
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 6: to come out and say those things, it's kind of

767
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 6: wild to me still.

768
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, absolutely the right thing by Dave

769
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: don Browski because he was wearing a T shirt with

770
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: Elite on it. So now you know that's motivated him, right,

771
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: And not only does it worked, and Dave don Browski

772
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: has pat himself on the back. Yeah, I'm sorry, but

773
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper's overrated. Now, he's over it. He never reached

774
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: the full potential that we thought he was getting to

775
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: when he came into the league. Like he's nineteen years old,

776
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: comes into the league early, and he looks like he's

777
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna be great. Well, the guy's been in the league

778
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: now since twenty twelve. And I'll tell you some things

779
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: that you just can't you can't cut up about him.

780
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: He's knocked in one hundred runs twice. Okay, this is

781
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: one of the best. He's knocked in one hundred runs twice. Well,

782
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: he gets walked a lot, Okay, not as much as

783
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: you think. He led the league and walks twice. One

784
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: is in twenty twenty when they played sixty games, So okay,

785
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: it doesn't get walked all the time. And oh, by

786
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: the way, other guys in Major League Baseball that get

787
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: walked a lot, that are big, find a way to

788
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: knock in one hundred some odd runs, one hundred and

789
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred and twenty runs. They find a way to

790
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: make that happen. Right. Bryce Harper has been good, He's

791
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: been very good. But for his career, he is a

792
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: guy that averages thirty three home runs in ninety to

793
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: ninety five RBIs okay, thirty and ninety That's who Bryce

794
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: Harper is. Right, Also a little bit difficulty staying in

795
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: the lineup with his injury, but that's the thing. You

796
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: gotta be right, your best abilities, your availability. How many

797
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: guys do you think in baseball last year hit over

798
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: thirty home runs and knocked in at least ninety runs?

799
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: How many guys twenty seven, twenty guys, and so many

800
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: were just below it with like thirty and eighty nine,

801
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: eighty eight, eighty seven. So it's not like it drops

802
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: off the cliff. But this is how many guys and

803
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: how many guys knocked in more than ninety run more

804
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: than ninety five runs, almost all of them right. So

805
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, again, the optic of Bryce Harper is better

806
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: than the reality of him, because this is who he's been.

807
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: All my numbers haven't been where they wanted to be.

808
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: He's twenty seven and seventy five last year. Year before

809
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: he was thirty and eighty seven. Year before that he

810
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: was twenty one and seventy two. Year before that he

811
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: was eighteen and sixty five, albeit not staying in the lineup.

812
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: But when was the last time you've been well, I mean,

813
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: numbers were they supposed to be. When's the last time

814
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: your numbers were they were supposed to be? You gotta

815
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: go back to twenty nineteen and oh, by the way,

816
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: you got to twenty nineteen, his first year at the Phillies.

817
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: What happened when he left Washington? They won the World

818
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: Series of next year? Right, he leaves and they go

819
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: and Washington wins the World Series out of the next year.

820
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper has been over it. He's a dangerous hitter,

821
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: but he has proved to be pitched and you can

822
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: pitch to him. You don't have to walk him all

823
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: the time. And he's not quite what you think he is.

824
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: Other sluggers that get paid to do what he does

825
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: have found a way to be much bigger in the

826
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: stat line with their team because it's about numbers and

827
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: it's about productivity, and he is not one of those guys.

828
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: And he hasn't been one of those guys. He hasn't

829
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: knocked one hundred runs since twenty twenty one. I mean,

830
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, since since twenty nineteen, two years he's knocked

831
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: in one hundred runs. Yeah, since twenty nineteen. Inability to

832
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: stay in the line up. Now you hang a star

833
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: on a little of it, because you got Babe Schwarber

834
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: up there screwing things up with his lead off home runs.

835
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: But all of that to say, I'll.

836
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 2: Give you the stat that everybody loves to go to.

837
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: Let's go to war, shall we wait?

838
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, in terms of baseball statistics, Mike Trout fifteen

839
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: years in the league, collective war eighty seven and a half.

840
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper fourteen years in Major League baseball. You want

841
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: to guess it is collected?

842
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 2: War is.

843
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: In a row in a.

844
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: Row, shut up fifty four.

845
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: But just showing that different another guy who can't stay

846
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: in the lineup, but just showing how impactful he was

847
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: when he was healthy. Now that World Series win once

848
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: he leaves, decide how much audition by subtraction happens there.

849
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: But all of that to say, when you're going year

850
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: after year and your highest games played in the last

851
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: five six seasons is one hundred and forty five, you're

852
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: not available. You're not even close to giving your team

853
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: what you're commensurate with the paid pay scale. And that's

854
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: really what it comes down to is Dombrowski's looking at

855
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: it for the old bang for your buck argument in

856
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: terms of getting the best out of your player. Because

857
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: the strikeout rates also risen, the batting averages dip his

858
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: career two eighty hitter, so you've had a couple of years,

859
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: we're still close to three hundred, but overall it's just

860
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: not the same player that we came in when we

861
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: heard about him when he was what seventeen. It's never

862
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: lived up to that look, and he's had a couple

863
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: of great years, but most of his career has been

864
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: very good. Paula very good. He's Paula very good. That's

865
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome.

866
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: But I'm happy if I'm the Phillies because I feel

867
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: like maybe I've motivated him in spring training. Perhaps patch

868
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: yourself on the back and take the over on his

869
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: games played ooh one twenty five. I'll take mind it,

870
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: I'll take the under. Coming up next, we remember an

871
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: absolute legend. Keep it here, Jason and Mike.

872
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio.
