• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Be.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And we're back at it here our lead this hour
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: go to Baseball New York, the Big Apple, and.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I had my eye on this game. I love Losers.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I have always been a tremendous fan of Losers. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: have worked in sports talk radio my entire adult life,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and every place I've worked, mostly here, but everywhere else.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I've taken some side gigs. I worked at WI for
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a while, did some side hustles in Denver and Seattle
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and some other places. And everywhere I've worked, there's always
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: been that one token Mets fan. There's always been that
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: one annoying Mets fan. We've had many Mets fans that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: have been annoying that have worked here over the years.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Some of my favorites Bruce Jacobs, who worked here for
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a long time, an annoying Mets fan. Jason Smith who
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: does the show prior to this show on Fox Sports
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Radio a Mets fan, and on and on and on
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and on.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: There's many of them.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: There's nothing quite as enjoyable as a total implosion, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: this is getting to historic propo proportions. Here the bad
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: New York Mets closer Devin Williams, and this is the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: guy in Milwaukee looked like God's gift to pitching. He
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: then went to the Yankees and was not very good.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So the Mets said, okay, why don't you come over
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: here to this borough. We're sure you'll be final here.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: He sucks there too. Yes, there's a common denominator in this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So Devin Williams allowed a tie breaking Ribbi single in
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the ninth inning to somebody I've never heard of on
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the Twins and New York. New York lost their twelfth
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: consecutive game. Congratulations to the Mets. They lose five to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: three to the Twinkies, and so the Mets skid their
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: longest in a generation twenty two. Now, if the Mets
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: can lose again, and we know they can on Wednesday
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: here against Minnesota, that would then move up a couple
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: of notches and they would match a record by the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixty two, the iconic sixty two Mets. I believe,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: although that sixty two Mets team the worst team of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: all time, and they have several losing streaks which are
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: ridiculously long. But anyway, the Mets have now lost twelve straight.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Now here's the fun fact of the hour.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: In the history of baseball, which goes.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Back to the eighteen seventies, the Cincinnati Reds were the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: first professional baseball team. How many teams do you think
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: have made the playoffs in a season where they drop
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: twelve consecutive games?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: What do you think you mean?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe like five, something like that, maybe three? Yeah, okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you got your answer, you locked in. Yeah, the answer
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: is none. No team in the history of professional baseball
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: has ever made the postseason in a year they lost
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: twelve in a row.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So turn out.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: The lasts the parties over. Of course, that tells you
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: what has happened, not what's going to happen. The good
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: news is the Mets have many more games to lose,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: many more games. So there's no one Soto who claimed
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: he went to the Mets because he thought they had
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a better chance to win than the Yankees. Okay, he
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: is expected to return to the Metropolitans lineup on Wednesday.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I bring this up in part because Hall of Famer
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Pedro Martinez, the legend red sock legend Dodger legend Pedro Martinez.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: He was on TV. He called out the Mets in
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the postgame. If you didn't watch this, maybe doing something else.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing, you might have might
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have missed it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So Pedro Martinez said of the Mets as an organization
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: right now, they need to make a statement.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Pedro said, something needs to change right now. Well, thank you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: They've lost twelve in a row.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Captain Obbys the coaching staff, he said, needs to change
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the strategy that they're using. Maybe go to small ball,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: take the humble approach. Said the guy that wasn't humble
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: at all in his career, Pedro Martinez. So that is
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss. Everyone's got
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a solution. We're using this as a jumping off point.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: So the question what do you make of Pedro Martinez
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: saying that the Mets need to make a statement after
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: twelve straight losses. So I've got chandelier, Poultergeist, and Guinness
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: World record, and we will combine all of these things
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: together and we will be the adult in the room
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: is what would it be?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Unless we're not all right?
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: So?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Number what? Number? What? Ready for some fun?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Pedro Martinez is absolutely right about the urgency, all right,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So he's not wrong on that. It's a rather obvious
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: thing to say, right. Baseball is a sport that is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: not designed for It's what we pointed out many times.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And this is what dumb people don't understand.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: The twenty twenty Championship, I just won the hardest of
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: them all because that was about urgency. Baseball has never
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: been about urgency. It used to drive me nuts when
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I years ago in another life, when the Dodgers didn't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: win every year and I did the postgame thing and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: they get off these miserable starts, and I'd go into
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the locker room and I'd say, well, you guys suck.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: You should be playing better. Why are you know? And
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they'd be like, we're fu we got plenty of time.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: It's saying no, that's the wrong answer. I don't want
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to hear that. I want urgency. So I love that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Pedro came out and said it's an obvious thing to say,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: But he talked about urgency and he's shouting Pedro Martinez
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: into a Hoover vacuum cleaner is what he's doing here.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: The Mets, they don't need a statement at this point.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: The way they're playing, they need an intervention.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: And when Pedro Martinez shows more fire in his belly
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: from a climate controlled TV studio covered in makeup than
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the players wearing the Mets uniform, they don't show that
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: much energy in the dugout and all this stuff. You
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: don't just have a slump at this point if you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the Mets. It's more than that. It's a systemic collapse
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: for the Mets. And I am enjoying my shot in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: freude watching this from the sidelines.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Twelve straight losses. You're not cursed when you've lost twelve
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: straight games. That is pure incompetence, is what that is.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: There's really another way to say it. And they haven't
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: even just hit rock bottom. I don't think this is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: rock bottom. You might say it's rock bottom, Okay, fine,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I would challenge that by saying that the Mets at
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: rock bottom here. Well, they just went out and went
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: on Timu and they bought some industrial grade drills. They're
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: trying to see if they can go into lower. Let's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: get down into bedrock. Let's go down into bedrock and
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: settle in there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And as for small ball.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Which Pedro Martinez brought up. These guys can't even play
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: medium ball. How are they going to play small ball?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what medium ball is at this
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: particular point. And a spiritual cleanse. Go out into the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: forest with Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers and a bunch
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: of ayahuasca and see what happens. That would be more
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: effective than a bunt at this particular point.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It just would.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: And now their savior is returning, the Great Messiah is
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: coming back to the New York Mets. Having one Soto
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: in the lineup. That's kind of like hanging a fifty
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: million dollars chandelier right above a sinkhole.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: There's a sinkhole, I know, But this chandelier looks really
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: good until it falls into the sinkhole. The house is
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: currently sliding into a sinkhole. Now by late April, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: we're not quite very antivable, but it's getting.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Closer, you know.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Doing the show here, it's April twenty second, and the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: New York Mets have officially transitioned the New York Mets season.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Here they've gone.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: From a professional baseball team to performance art at this
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: particular point. The statement they're currently making is we apologize
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: for giving you this product. It's an inconvenience and you
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: don't have to wash thats anymore, and we suck and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: that's that. And now, as for the coaching staff, if
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I'm the hitting coach here Tony Snicker, I believe is
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a guy's name, I would keep a Duffel bag packed.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I would make sure I can get out of my lease,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: if you know what I'm saying here. Now, the fan
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: base at this point, they're not looking for a turnaround
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: for the Mets. That's not realistic at this particular point.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: They're looking for an as Tech style human sacrifice. They
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: want a pound of flesh is what they would like.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: They want someone to lose their job, and it's for
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: whatever reason. Carlos Mendoza, the manager, seemingly has incriminating photos
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: of ownership and what do you have to do to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: lose your job? The Mets were terrible the last three
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: months of last season. She should have been fired at
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the end of the year. They brought him back. Now
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: they've lost twelve games in a row. I realize the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: argument to keep him is he's not really doing anything
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: he's just he's a hood ornament at this point, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: it's all the nerds that are doing it. And even
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: with that, wouldn't you just as an illusion get rid
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: of the guy?
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Now to Anaheim we go. We go to Anaheim. Why
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: not because we want to talk about the Angels on
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the field. Several of you sent me this story. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: don't keep up on Angel social media, so I didn't
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: see it myself until it was sent to me. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: guess that's the whole point of social media. So the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Angels recently posted a video celebrating sixty years at the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Big A sixty years in Anaheim, which is the fourth
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: oldest stadium in baseball. You got Finway, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and Angel Stadium.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And so the Angels put this sizzle reel out.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: They had the highlights and a montage of big molments
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and legendary players who wore the halo back when the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Angels used to try to win games in the old days.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: If you're old, you might remember when the Angels actually
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: had a good team every once in a while. Yeah,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: So they honored all these guys in these big time
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: player Nolan Ryan legend in there right, Mike Trout, Garrett Anderson,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Reggie Jackson, some of the all time greats back in
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the old days who played for.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: The Angels, And so there they were. Now one player
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: was left out.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: You want to take a guess which player somehow did
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: not end up in the sixty year tribute video.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: For the Angels. Who do you think it was? You got?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: You got a guess? All right, lock it, lock it in,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: don't change your answer. Show Haltani. The Angels did not
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: include Show Haltani in their their clip, the sixty years
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Sizzle reel of Anaheim Stadium or the Big A or
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: whatever it's called. He didn't make the cut. He was
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: on the cutting room floor. Then that raised some eyebrows.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: So the question for the esteem panel should show Haltani
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: be offended? Should he be offended that the Angels left
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: him out of this nostalgia Big A video celebrating sixty
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: years at the ballpark. So my position on this is
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the wrong word is being used to offended. Otani should
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: not be offended. My word is flattered. He should be
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: flattered Otani.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And here's why.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: By scrubbing him going stalin and not putting him in
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the video scrubbing his performance with the Angels in this
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: nostalgia reel about Anaheim Stadium, the Big A whatever, the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Angels have officially entered. The deleting photos of my ex
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: stage of crisis is whether that midlife crisis. I don't
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: know what you're saying, but it's hilarious. It is a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: public admission that that wound, that wound of Otani.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Not only leaving it'd be one thing he went to.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: The Yankees or the Mets or the Blue Jays, but
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, the Dodgers, that the wound is still oozing puss.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: There is puss. It's blue puss oozing out of that
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: wound at this particular point. And leaving him out was
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: not some kind of oversight. It's an emotional surrender. It
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: proves that despite just being thirty something miles away up
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the road, there Otani is the big blue ghost haunting
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Artie Marino, things that go bumpity bump in the night.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: That's the way it is. Is a Poulter guy. It's
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: a very powerful figure, and they're just gonna pretend that
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: he did not exist. And it's it's interesting. They're not
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: really a racing history. I believe Otani won two en
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: VP Awards in a Rookie of the Year where the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Angels are the Angels are admitting they cannot handle the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: reality of the moment.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Now the devil's argument.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: The devil's argument on this one, you're dand if you do,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: you're dand if you don't, because if the Angels had
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: included Otani, it would have been Boy, howpathetic are they?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They put Otani in there, so you gotta do it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Though, to me, you gotta do it because you know
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: how many guys have won MVP with the Angels, Not
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: very many, Don Baylor and Mike Trout, Otani, It's a
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: small list of guys that have been able to get
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: it done. And so Otani doesn't need his highlight video
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: at this particular point.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not in need of that.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: His absence proves he's already bigger than that catalog and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: he's just sticking to him on a nightly basis, wearing
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Dodger Billow And in the way, we know the Angels
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: have an identity problem. They a lot of people love
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Orange County and would love to live there, and it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: a great place and all that, and they so want
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: to be lay. They would build a stadium in skid
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Row if they could. That's how much they love LA.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: It's wild all right. Now, final point to the ownership suite.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: We go and go to pro bouncy ball. This is
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a great Sorry, now, the Trailblazers upset the Spurs on
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: That is not what this is about.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: The owner of the team, a guy I had never
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: heard of, has gone viral here and very rarely doesn't
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: owner go viral, and it never almost never goes viral
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the owner for something good. So this guy named Tom Dundon,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I believe that's hoy said it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. This Guy's just a random, like
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: rich dude. There's a lot of rich people. I don't
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: know who they are.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And the only reason you buy a sports team is
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: so somebody knows who you are. More on that in
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a minute. So this guy, Tom Dundon has been called
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: out for enforcing strict cost cutting measures, such as turns
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: out the Portland Trailblazers staff is mandated now to check
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: out of hotels by twelve thirty to avoid late fees,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: even though the games are at night. So I guess
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: they got some time to kill before. I don't know
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: what they're gonna do.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: What do they do? They hang out on the lobby
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: at the hotel. I'm not sure about that.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: The team Masseuse was denied a room to give pregame
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: treatment to the players, so no massage is there? Two
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: way players that are part of the Trailblazers were not
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: allowed to travel to the playoff games in San Antonio
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: to cut costs. And Game three, which is on Friday.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: You know all these teams give out the T shirts
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and try to get the fans all fired up. Free
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: T shirt night not in Portland. In order to save
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: some cash, the Blazers will not be giving out the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: free T shirts for game number three. They have refused
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: also to send the team photographer for the Trailblazers and
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: the digital reporter on the road again to save a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: couple of shekels. So the question where are you at
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: on the Trailblazers owner, This guy Tom Dundan being blasted
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: for pinching pennies. For pinching pennies. So this is not moneyball,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: and moneyball is more of a baseball team. It's not moneyball,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the basketball version of moneyball. This is dollar store ball
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: is what this is? Right, this is dollar general, this
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: is what that is. And why would you drop four
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: point two billion? I realize there's other people in the bolt,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: but again, the whole point of owning a sports team
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: is so when you go to the cocktail party in
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Beverly Hill or the Hamptons or South Beach, that you
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: have something to talk about while you're drinking your your
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: New York icy, right, your Long Island icy. You say, Okay,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: what do you do?
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: You know, I run Ah, I run an investment company. Okay,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: that's great, you do investing line. So is everyone else?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: What do you do? Well?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I own the Portland Trailblazers as an NBA team. Oh, really,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: tell me more about that. It's a good conversation starter.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And so if you don't want to be criticized, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the whole point you want people to love you because
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: you want people to talk about you, why would you
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: be the guy that buys the team.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And is a tight one? Just like Ardie Marino. Another
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: tight one.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: The Angels don't even send their radio guys on the
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: road most of the time because they don't want to
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: spend money on travel, so they do it off a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: TV like it's COVID. Still it's six years or whatever after,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: they're still doing it off the TV. The Angel Roadbrod
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: play by play radio guys, it's ridiculous. But there's by
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the Trailblazers. So this guy's worth over two billion dollars
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: and you're telling the staff to check out of the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: hotel by twelve thirty like you're on some kind of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: kid's trip to Washington, d C.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Or something.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: It appears that the Blazer's owner is gunning for the
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Guinness World Record for cheapest owner and professional sports. And
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you know that people hate him because this all of
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: this has gotten out. Everyone's got loose lips. They all
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: can't stand this guy, and everyone's spilling the beans about
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: how cheap he is, and that stuff gets around and
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: he's like this generation's marred Shot.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Now you might not know who that is.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Marg Shot was like she was about like four foot tall,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: this really old crotchety woman who ended up owning the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds. And she was such a tightwad in the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: eighties and nineties that she was known for her Saint Bernard.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Her Saint Bernard. At the time, she was so cheap
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: that the players when they won the World Series. I
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: believe it was against the Athletics. They swept the Oakland Athletics,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and she was hoping for some more revenue and home games.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: She was so upset that they didn't lose and get
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: an extra home game or two that she didn't provide
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: any post World Series party. So the players were eating
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: like fast food burgers after they won the World Series
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: of the Reds because she didn't want to spend any
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: money because she was upset she didn't make more money.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: The famous donuts story that she bought some donuts for
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a meeting with a client, Mard shot and famously, as
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the legend goes, I guess we can say whatever you want.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: She's dead.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: She can't sue us a marg shot. I guess they
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: didn't eat the donuts, and so she had somebody go
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: around to try to sell the day old donuts to
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the employees of the Cincinnati Reds.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Just absolutely great.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: As far as the Blazers, though, what message, What message
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: does it send your two way players that they're left
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: home for the playoffs just so they can save on
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the Marriotte fees and all that stuff. It's like he's
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: trying to be part of this NBA Owner Extreme Couponing
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: All Star Edition remake. They're going to reboot that, bring
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: it back. And if you're that frugal right now, like
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you're that frugal right now, wait until you discover how
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: much Gatorade costs. There will be no more gatorade at all.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: In fact, these got no water, at least processed water. No,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: you guys, we're gonna get you a garden hose. How
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: great would that be? All right, time out on McCourt
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: and all the Blazers are lined up to drink out.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Of the garden hose. Now that would be great.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I endorse that you could put a Blazer's logo on
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the garden hose and the owner would sign off on it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: So owning a team is a license to passive income
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: in professional sports. And this guy's acting like he's one
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: late fee away, one late fee away from going completely bankrupt.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: How did he get the team if he's that hard
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: up on money? I don't know. Pretty wild. It is
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the Bane Mahlor Show.
• 22:49

• 22:51

• 23:01
  Speaker 1: They're so cheap.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, I understand really cheap bosses, and it's not a
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. And normally I'd say, well, you guys
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: are all spoiled pro athletes, like what are you doing?
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: In this case, there's a certain standard, as Mike Thomas says,
• 23:15

  Speaker 2: drug tester says, thankfully the Mets are playing this bad.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Otherwise the monologue would have been about the Royals. At
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: least a new stadium is coming to downtown Kansas City. Well,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: we'll see if that actually actually happens, see how that goes.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And we also don't need a new stadium. The stadium
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: they're in now is fine, it's not bad at all.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Sound like my dad, you don't need a new prom dress.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: Where are the war and you wore last year.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Dad's a smart man. And seriously, you don't listen. You
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: go in Europe, they have soccer stadiums. There's some that
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: are from like the eighteen hundreds.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: But then you go to Japan and everything's brand new
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: and futuristic with a waste of money.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It's such a waste of taxpayer money to build these stadiums.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: They don't need them, they don't. It's a waste of resources.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: The future socks. By the way, the Mets. There are
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: how many teams in baseball thirty teams. The New York
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Mets are thirtieth in run scored. I'm told that's not good.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: They're thirtieth in on base percentage. I'm told that's not good.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: And I've heard from a little birdie that when you're
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: dead last and slugging percentage, that's also not good. I've
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: heard all those.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Things are not good.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: So yeah, let's go to the phones and we'll say, Oh,

• 28:12
  Speaker 7: Anaheim in Anaheim's history in that stadium.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Uh no, well yeah, the most famous oo it was
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: filmed at Dodger Stadium. The greatest moment in Anaheim Stadium
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: was an Angels Cleveland Indians game in the late nineties.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Some guy climbed the foul pole during the game and
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: they didn't know what to do. The guy climbed up
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: and was like almost all the way at the top
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: of the foul pole. The game stopped and they're like
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I was at the game. I was like, we were
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: like the guy, is this guy gonna drop down and
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: die or something.
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: Like that, and yeah, yeah, it was like the naked, naked,

• 29:17
  Speaker 7: was rolling about the NBA.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I mean we all know.

  Speaker 7: I mean tanking, That's what the guy's doing. I mean,
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: who who, Silver's got a problem?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Who's take everyone's sneak half the team? No, the Blazer's
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. They just want a playoff game.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: Dude. They are cheap. They're gonna tank. They're gonna tank.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: It's a problem.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: And they made the playoff I understand, but they're in
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the play the true tanking.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: If you want to see tanking, look at the Washington
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Wizards of the Brooklyn Nets. That's tank. That's next level tanking.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: So so wasn't it moneyball?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Was it?
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: David Justice, who remarked, like, you know, it was kind
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: of like, uh, you know, part of the script. But
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: you know he had to he had to get fifty
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: cents to to buy coke? Right, wasn't that the A's.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I believe that seems seems vaguely right. It's
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Marge shot. There's a lot of cheap
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: owners that are this guy with the Blazers though. It
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: seems pretty pretty ridiculous here, So.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: Let me ask you here. I mean, I just came
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: out of downtown. I mean only guess I was. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: was driving home. We're all ready for the draft. Yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: you know everybody's going to come to town.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to you're going to the draft. You're
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: you gonna sit at home and watch it? Even if
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I was there, Are you going?
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Or No?
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: No, dude, amateur man. That that's that's that's like Saint
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: Patty's Day or New Year's Eve. You don't go out.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, And the draft is exactly because you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I agree with you. I would rather listen
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: to it on the radio or watch you to just
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: look on my phone every few minutes to see who
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: got picked.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go out to that thing.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: I can't believe. And help me. I do you know
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: they own it, they own the dial. I just can't
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: believe they're estimating seven hundred and fifty thousand people.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't believe that. That's that's that's some
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: funny fuzzy math is what that is.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I don't you believe that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: I don't buy thousand day. I'm telling you, I gotta
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: I got a guy. I got a guy ten blocks
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: from the stadium. You know. We're rowhouse right now on
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: VRBO for ten grand a week. That's that's That's what
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: I mean. It's insane, man. But but here's the thing.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: Here's what let me let me wrap this up precisely.
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: We have an owner here, Bob Nutting, who is is
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: sheep of an owner, who is a suckubus, who has
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: milked the system. You talk about the Dodgers and the
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: seven needing the salary cap. We need a salary floor
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: in baseball. Now.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: We just you know, we just need to make sure
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: that if these guys are not trying to win, force
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: them to sell the team, get rid of them, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: get people that actually want to win. It's not that hard.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Why is it so hard? It's a cartel Baseball, All
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: these sports are criticals. I gotta go John, but thanks, call.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Me whatever you want. Man, you man, this is Johnny.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: It's a name. We haven't seen it. Let's say hello
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: to any meanie MINEU. Let's go to Paul, who's hanging
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: out sleepless in Seattle.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Paul? Welcome, welcome, hey, first time, long time,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: first time, long time. I love that.
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: Hey, I got two comments. One of the Blazers. The
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: word on the street up here is he wants to
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: move that franchise.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, where's he gonna move? Where's he gonna move
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it to?
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Is it there?
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: I thought there was another there was a spot in
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: the southeast somewhere that wanted the franchise.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I can't remember where Nashville he owns.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: This guy owns the Carolina hockey team, so he already
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: owns a team in Carolina. But they can't have two
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: NBA teams in Carolina. That's not gonna happen, so.
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: They can't even have one. Really, hello, hello, And then
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: the Mariners have a problem. And I'm a Red Sox fan.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: I Warner race here, but I'm still a Red Sox fan.
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: They have a problem, and you know, you have the
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: same problem with your team. The manager, and he manages
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: just like Dave Roberts. He doesn't know how to run
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: a bullpen. He doesn't not a pinchship for guys at
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: the right time. I saw his press conference today. He
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: didn't even look up after the game.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: He's like, defeat it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's you know. Dave Roberts is always up.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: But Wilson. The problem with this guy is he's beloved
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: here because he's a hero from the ninety five team
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: and all that crap. So all the fans up here
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: don't want to see him go. But if you want
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: to win, you got to have a manager and knows
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: what the hell he's doing. The only time they won
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: was that Tanella was up here.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: You know what he was doing.
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: He fired.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I think what they need to do.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I have advice here, And this is a radical idea
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: because ever when I was a kid, the Mariners always sucked,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: but they had good offensive teams. Now they ever since
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: they should rebuild the Kingdome because they can't hit it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: It's I'm terrible. They have like a.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Top five pitching staff this year and their offense blows
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: yet again.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: So they got they got issues.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: It's terrible living through it up here. Dune Opa comes
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: in there, right meets Sacramento. They come in there and
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: smoke them the first two games. Don't live in the stadium.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: The guys are doing stuff. I mean, Naylor's becoming kind
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: of a fan. There's no accountability on the team whatsoever. None.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: It's a mess.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll leave it there, all right. They're they're bad,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Paul call anytime. I got two quis names
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: we don't normally get.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: We love new callers, we do.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do a newby Night next week.

• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get crazy. Now, come on you.

  Speaker 2: You think there's a lot of women out there hiding
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: in the shadows that are about that, Well, maybe we'll
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: test something out next hour on that. It is the
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Bane Malor Show. So the Ratituey the Ratituey story real quick.

• 35:08
  Speaker 2: A ratituey moment and a couple of players once they
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: noticed the rat was running, they did what any civilized
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: human being would do when having this vermin, this rodent
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: in front of them. They jumped back, because you would
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: do the same.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That's a big rat.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: If you were a rat, wouldn't you want to live
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: in a baseball stadium.

• 38:49
  Speaker 5: To the third degree. Cool.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: This year, the NFL decided to change the amount of
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: time that teams to get to make their first round
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: pick from ten minutes to eight minutes. Steelers GM Omar
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Constant in an interview that those extra minutes really make
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: a difference. Ben, Do you think this two minute reduction
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: is a big deal.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's tragic for Omar Kahn and the Pittsburgh Steep.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: No stop. They should make the draft sixty minutes. That's it.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Sixty minutes, get all the picks in, and I want
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: to have teams skip over picks like remember one Mike Tice,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the Vikings coach back in the day, They didn't get
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: to pick in and they lost their pick.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: They had to pick it later on. Yeah. No, it's Really,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the draft takes way too long. They should limit it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Next, there was a lot of talk about these San
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Antonio Spurs colorful court choices on Monday, but Bill Simmons
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: was definitely not a fan. He said, you've won five
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: titles as a franchise. It's not the time for gimmicks.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Act like you've been here before. But is he just
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: being grouchy?
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: No, it's the difference between a small market and the
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: big market. You see the Lakers or the Knicks or
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: the Celtics, and hardly anyone wears the shirts you go
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: to like San Antonio, everyone is wearing the shirts. It's
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: a sign you're in a smaller town. Next, yesterday you
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: said that you think this is it. First he've curved
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: with Golden Step. Now we're hearing that Florida's Todd Golden
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: is being linked to the Warriors. Do you think this
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: would be a good hire. No, he's tight with the ownership,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: supposedly with the Warriors. But no, you don't want to
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: be the guy that follows the guy. No way would
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I want to replace Steve car How.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Did we go?
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: That would I want him?
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: On checking that out,
