• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So we go deep in the heart of Texas Jerry's world.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: How about him? Cowboy who? Well?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: There was final game, Final Game, Week nine on the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: NFL card at the Jerry Jones Fund Zone. I saw
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: former Fox Sports Radio Morning personalit of there. Stephen A
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: was hanging out with Jerry.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: In the box.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: What's in the box? A man in a pink suit? Anyway,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: So Trey McBride, the Cardinals are so bad. Trey McBride
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: was the headliner coming in this game. Trey McBride the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: tight end of the Cardinals clown car rolling in to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys crib. We'll match up there Jerry Jones' favorite
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: NFL team, and it was on an island game. An
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: island game. He had Troy Aikman and Joe Buck on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the call.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Did you watch? Were you checking this game? I know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: maybe not.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: We'll back up quarterback Jacoby Brissett and he wasn't supposed
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to play in this game at the beginning of the week.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: It was gonna be Kyler, sorry, but the old switcher route,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and so Bersett was in there. He threw not one
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: but two touchdowns and ran for a score as Kyler
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Alligator Arms Murray could not play a little fella had
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a small injury foot injury and the Cardinals the Cardinals
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a domination situation by Arizona's Dallas was never really in
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this game twenty seven to seventeen, raising Arizona as they
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: get to win there a Monday night. The Cardinals had
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a five game skid, a route that came to an end.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: There they snap the losing streak with a very comfortable win,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: A very very comfortable win for the team from the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Grand Canyon State. Now Marvin Harrison Junior, who had been
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a Jag, not a Jacksonville jack just a guy in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: his brief NFL career. He had a breakout game, big
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: first half. The stat line was big first half. Those
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: seven catches, ninety six yards and a touchdown. There was
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: one play where he scored in the end zone the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: touchdown there where he literally broke the ankles of the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Cowboy defensive player. There great highlight for him and Jacoby
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Brissett though the headliner here he made the third consecutive
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: start there for the Cardinals. They get their third win
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of the year, and they win for just the second time.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The stats been going around the second time in eighteen
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: games without the little fella alligator arms Murray, the fun
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: sized quarterback.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: And so the.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Better story, though, is in the losing locker room. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: better stories in the losing locker room. The Cowboys were
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: not ready to play. Does anyone disagree with that statement?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys were not ready to play. I don't see
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: anyone raising their hands, so no one disagrees. Good good
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: job by you not disagreeing. So they weren't ready. They
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: were shut out in the first quarter. They had a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: promising drive that went could put to start the game
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and then that was it fumbled by Mike count four times,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: lost a couple of those fumbles, Dak Prescott in a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: helter skelter comeback situation, had an interception, but didn't play
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: all that well, did not play all that well. Just
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a bad mess of a game for the Dallas Cowboys.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They're in the better story on the losing side. So
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that is where we will begin a good jumping off point.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what does this performance
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: with all eyes of the football world on it, what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: does this performance say about Brian Schottenheimer, Shannie and his
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: coaching run with the Dallas Cowboys. So my thoughts on this,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I've got Slurpye, media, mafia, and hot pocket, and we
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: going to pig.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Out point point point. We're gonna pick out, all right.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So my first thought on this A let's start with
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: when you take a look down. You get in the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: black Hole helicopter, not black Hawk down the black Hawk helicopter,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and you go up in the sky and you look.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Down and you look around, look at the landscape there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: What do you see?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So here's what I see, okay, And I'm never wrong
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: about these things. I'm never wrong about these things. Same
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: old Cowboys that's what I see, all right, same old,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: over hyped, over decorated, under discipline mess. You've got George
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Pickens taunting when the Cowboys are desperately trying to get
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: back in the game, but he's trying to get style points. Man,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you gotta get style points. Undisciplined slop is what that was.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Just bad football, bad football personified. That's the epitome of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And so you look at Schottenheimer's a glorified
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: seat filler, and the man's essentially house sitting, and he's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: house sitting for the ghost of Mike McCarthy's fat ass
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: who got let go last year. And so it's all
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: just a placeholder, is what it is for the Dallas Cowboys.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, the main problem is the defense of For
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: some reason, we have Shottenheimer talking about the offense.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: But we'll play it because we have it. Here we go.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: We got to play better offensively. We're better than ten points,
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: which is all we scored. Great job by Sam on
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: the punt and block special teams, but for us to
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: score ten points offensively is not the standard, and no
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: one's happy about that.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, the people that better on the Cardinals are
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: very happy about that. So I don't know that no
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: one's happy about that. But you look at the Cardinals
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and they're not evolving. This is mid season in the NFL.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: We're now done with Week nine. They only play seventeen,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: so it's actually a little bit past mid season there.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: There's no actual mid season. Eight and a half weeks
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: would be mid season. So the Cardinals and Cowboys played
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the midway point as much as you can say. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: know some teams have had buys or whatever, so they're
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: just existing that Dallas Cowboys.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: I every week, it's every game, it's.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: The five o'clock follies, blown coverages to the right, mistackles
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to the left, stupid penalties in the air, everywhere. That's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Dallas. You can practically hear the circus music in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the background when you watch them try to tackle. It
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: is fascinating how much they suck on defense for a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: team that supposedly practices. And everyone was talking up Matt Eberflus,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator who cut his chops in Indianapolis as
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the Colts defensive coordinator, got a good reputation and he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: been living on that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Got the Bears job.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Sucked in Chicago goes to Dallas, blows in Dallas.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: What's next? I don't know. TV. Probably suck at TV.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: We get that job too. What the hell?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: The defense, in particular, they build as America's team, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. A big selling point there, the proprietary blent.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: We've heard of the Tampa two defense. You've heard of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the forty six defense by the Chicago Bears back in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Legendary defenses in the NFL.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys defense is the seven to eleven defense.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It's the seven eleven defense because these guys look like
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: they should be working the night shift at a seven
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: eleven the way they're trying to tackle and they're playing defense.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: There just arm tackling, lazy angles on defense there, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you look around, it's like would you like a slurp?
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Bee, sir?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Would you like a slurpee with those nachos? And that misdassignment?
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: My god? And so yet oh boo.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys traded Michael Parsons, their top defensive so apparently
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they don't have to hustle, they don't have to tackle
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: because the Jerry Jones traded Michael Burton. So that is
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the ultimate. Okay, we blow, let's not try to get better?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Excuse and then am I correct on?
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: That?
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Is that how this works? Okay? I know Jerry's trying
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: to find some glory.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Whole, but the cowboy I get that they traded Michael Parsons.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It's a team game. You put the collective unit together.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: If you tackle as a team, you play discipline football.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm not a cowboy fan. I don't have skin
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in the game. I just want to watch and observe this.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay, the sum of the parts, well, the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: sum of the parts is, let's make some business decisions
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and not well, not hustle on certain plays and all that.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: My god, there's no rallying again.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Just a lot of business decisions mixed with lazy angles
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and arm tackling and all that stuff. It's like a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: garage seal out there. Jacoby Frickin Brissett sliced you up.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: He diced you up. Jacoby Brissett.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett like a surgeon doing outpatient work. He averaged
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: eight point four yards per pass. Jacoby Brissett did.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: That to you? Where'd he hurt you? Everywhere?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: He hurts you everywhere? Two passing touchdowns one on the ground.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those of your little slocas.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: It's at night. Here, Jacoby Brissett did that. He did that.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: That's not bad luck. It's not bad luck. That's that's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: bad football. That's that's Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboy. The Cowboys
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: are who we thought they were, a mirage with nice logos.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: On their helmet.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: They have good, good logos there, and they do look
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: marvel Is getting off the bus. Don't they look good?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Those uniforms, man, they look solid. Now when they actually play.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: It's rather discussing Dak Prescott sucked. What happened to that
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: MVP campaign for Dak Prescott? It's in a ditch on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the side of the road.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Anyway.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Here's Dak Prescott with his latest excuse on the Dallas Cowboys,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: riding the vomit comet tigles.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: So frustrating because I'm not just going to accept that, oh,
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: this team is inconsistent. This team is just up and
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: down like we're going to be as long as we
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: ride the wave of you know, the media and you
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: know the media and the media game to the next
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: and not putting the blame on you guys. But you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: we want to game and we feel really good about ourselves.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: And you think you're just going to go in the
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: next next week and smack that opponent.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And you don't.
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: Then you know, you feel at upset and you look
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: in the mirror and you come back and you give
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: give a better performance. You know, that's what's been happening
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: this year other than tonight. And so when you've put
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: two bad games or two ugly losses back to back,
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: you gotta find answers.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: We know the answers. You suck, Your team sucks. That's it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: You're never going You're you're the definition of blah.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Cowboys will win seven games or eight games or something
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: along those lines, they'll finish around five hundred, and they're
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: not making the playoffs.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Playoffs.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: That's how happened. Yeah, on the Arizona side of things,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: everyone's been yapping. We'll frame the question this way. One's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: been yappening here. Both ABC broadcasters Troy Aikman and Joe
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Buck said they expect the Arizona Cardinals to stick with
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: quarterback Jacoby Brissett that seems like kind of a big deal,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and not go back to Kyler Murray. So again, both
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman going on the record that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they believe Kyler Murray has lost his job, he has
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: been demoted, that he has been put in the doghouse
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: in favor of Jacoby Brissett.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Is this something or is this nothing?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So at first glance you say, well, who cares what
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman say.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: They're just a couple of media hacks.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You don't know anything like That's what the low information
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: fan would say. I'm telling you right now, it's something.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. It's something here. They're not hot take guys.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Akeman and Buck are not hot take guys. They're well
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: compensated for what they do. They're the Fox refugees. They
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: ran off to ESPN to get the big pile of money.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: They're the free agency. Good for them, Good for them.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: But Joe Buck and Troy Aikman do not dabble in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the social media hot take ecosystem. That's not what they
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: do here. They are made men. Joe Buck and Troy
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Aikman are made men. They are They're in the elite
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: NFL media mafia. And when you're in the mafia and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you're a made man in the media mafia. You don't
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: speak out of class. You don't do it. You cannot
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: do it because they'll whack you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: They will whack you.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And so what I'm imagining happened here, just based on
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: connecting the dots, is that they are simply regurgitating Buck
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and Aikman what they heard in the little pregame pow Wow.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: They're Starbucks huddle with Jonathan Gannon, the coach of the Cardinals,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and the Arizona staff, the people that they meet with there,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: lattee in one hand and then you've got the laminated
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: play sheet in the other. You sit around a round
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: table in a hotel ballroom and it's the Brotherhood of Intel's,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. You get the coaches all comfortable,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: they're all relaxed there over a little maple bar, possibly
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a Long John, but most likely a maple bar double espresso.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: You've got that going there, and they just start talking
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and they just start chirping. And you don't have to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: be an NFL guru. You don't have to be some
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: kind of guru here. You can just simply read between
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the lines on this and inside that building. Kyler Murray's
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the guy you want at the controls. If you're trying
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to win a Call of Duty tournament, that is the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: guy you want. There's no one else on the Cardinals
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you would want out there other than Kyler Murray. You
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: give him the joystick and you get out of the way.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You let the man's little fingers work its magic. Okay,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that's what your doubt. Now if you actually want to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: win football games, that's something of you. But now again,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Call of Duty tournament thumbs of blazing there for Kyler
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Head said on NFL Team No, no, you knew right away.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: This is one of the rare deals where the team
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: signed the player to the extension and immediately had buyer's remorse.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Like, what did we do? Holy f why did we
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: do that?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You knew they signed the wrong player when they had
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: to put a clause in there to actually do your
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: job and watch film, and then they had to take
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it out because he was so embarrassed. He got called
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: out on being a terrible employee. Little Kyler Murray there,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So you look at it is like Brissett, he's not
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: very good. However, he's the adult in the room, and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I appear they want that. He's got a bunch of
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: mole and warts. Jacoby Brissett. You're not going to go
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: anywhere with him as quarterback. He's limited, his arm's not
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that great. He's been around a lot of miles on
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the odometer for Jacoby Brissett. But he does show up
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: on time, and he knows the offense, he can command
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the huddle, all that stuff, and he does not need
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: juice boxes in between a series of offense. In practice, they
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: don't need to give him a juice box and some
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: orange slices.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: He's okay. So that's there. Is that. That's good.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Still hard to get all tingley the idea that Jacoby
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Brissett will take over as the quarterback there and another
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: one of these guys talked about Brian Schottenheimer being a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: seat filler. Well, if Brissett is the guy, he would
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: be the personification of a seat filler there and the Cardinals.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It's really difficult to get a great read on any
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: of this because the Dallas Cowboys defense, you know, like
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the some teams drive luxury buses to the stadium. For
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: some reason, the Cowboys ride the short bus.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know why. They take the short bust there.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And so we're not gonna pretend this is some kind
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: of great accomplishment by the Cardinals. I mean, I didn't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: think they were gonna play that well. I thought at
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: least the Cowboys offense would be able to do stuff
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: they didn't in this game. Nevertheless, back to the point,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: just to put the ball on this, so Aikman and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Buck again, they're made men football elite, elite media mafia
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of the NFL, the media mafia. They're in that inner circle,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: all right, those top level guys. They get all the goodies,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: all the goodies here, So they're not gonna just drop
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a nugget like that on national team. I don't think
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that's random. I believe that is a dead giveaway.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: That's a tell. That is a tel.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals are quietly moving off the Kyler Murray fantasy
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and they're settling in to the mud with Jacoby Brissett
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: adult supervision until they get some other dabbroni next season. Now,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline is today. Wouldn't it be wild if
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals sat out Kyler Murray to trade him? Where
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: would they trade him? The Saints? Like that's the only
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: obvious destination at this point, Like the Saints are terrible,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: worst team since nineteen eighty.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: They don't have a quarterback and they got money to burn.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Uh, they can move some numbers around, make make it
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: work if salary caps fugazy anyway, all right, last word.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Back to that Cowboys. Back to the Cowboys.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: So following the latest ass whooping at the hands of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the opponent, in case this case Arizona low the Arizona
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as he often does, gave a
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: State of the Cowboys address postgame, and he said the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: money quote here, and he said a lot the one
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that stood out to me that I'd like to share
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: with you right now. Jerry Jones said, quote, I like
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: our nuts and bolts. I don't like what's happening to
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: our nuts and bolts though. Close quote from Jerry Jones.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: So question, can you decode what Jerry Jones means when
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: he says he likes the Cowboys nuts and bolts?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: All right? So yeah, all right, nah? Using the mallar.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Rosetta stone, the mallor Rosetta stone translation translation, Jerry taking
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: time for a modest flex. Modest flex in front of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the mirror. In front of the mirror. Now, Jerry's not
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: blaming himself he's definitely not blaming himself on this. In fact,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: he's braggadocious. He's bragging about the shopping list. He's like, man,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: am I a great gm Look at the town, the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: nuts and bolts.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: That's me. I did that. I did that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: That's my team. I put that team together. He's essentially saying, Hey,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I'm broad amazing ingredients into the kitchen. These are such
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: great ingredients. Unfortunately the chef can't cook. I know I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: hired him too, but he can't cook with my delicious ingredients.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: What are we doing?
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Jerry thinks he's like Gordon Ramsey wearing a ten gallon
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: hat and looking for gloryhole.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And the roster in Jerry's head is a Michelin Star roster.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's a menu of Michelin Star for wagou beef, truffle, oil,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, all the fix and all the trimmings
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and all that. And what comes out of the kitchen
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: for the cowboys is a microwaved hot pocket. That's what
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: comes out of the kitchen, a sou flea that is
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: collapsing on a weekly basis there and it's burning in
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the oven. And Brian Schottenheimer, the coach, there is arguing
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: with the smoke alarm, saying it's not my fault. It's
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: not burning, it's the smoke alarm that's malfunctioning. I would
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: not burn this food at all. And it's a classic
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones humble brag. It's like I am the GM
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and I am a genius. Look at those players, they're
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: just not executing. They're underachieving. But it's not because of me.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: No no no, they're underachievers. But not because of Mete No, no,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: no no. Jerry loves the nuts and the She loves
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the nuts and the ball. She just putting an actual
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: winning football team on the field. Eh. The blueprint though,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: is there solid blueprint? It's the contractor that's the problem.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: You got a bad contractor. They don't know what they're doing.

  Speaker 1: hour though from baseball. Baseball, No baseball. The season ended
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. Why would you talk baseball? What are
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you stupid?
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: No?
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Let me explain.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: So the post mortem on the World Series here to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the winner goes a parade an a rally. You get
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a parade and a rally. That's how that goes there.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So after winning Game seven in a l Classico in
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Toronto the World Series, the Dodgers made their way back
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: in their luxury planes. They made their way back to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: la and the Boys in Blue were serenaded with flowers
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and songs.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: And they just everyone loved them.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: A cacophony of goodness for the Dodgers there as they
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: returned to the People's Republic of California for a big
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: celebration and a championship parade and rally for the ages.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't watch any of this, why would
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you if you're not a Dodger fan. I even I
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: find this a little annoying, but I did check some
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: of it out for talk show.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Reasons, for talk show reasons.
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: And Dave Roberts, good old Dave, some of this stuff
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: was so corny. It was so oh so bad.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Dave Roberts tossed out a word and it involved
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the number and a word, and it was kind of
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the theme. You had sho Hel Tani deliver a speech
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: in English. He was not the only one who did that,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and the crowd went wild. They sold out crowd at
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium there. That concluded with Otani saying that he
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: was ready to get another ring, but Dave Roberts talking
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: about what the mission is now for the Dodgers.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: I talked, you have to fail on the plane, and
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: he gave me the okay to use this phrase, pat Riley, let's.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Go to the too.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. So how can the Dodgers three
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: people when they've already ruined baseball? I don't understand anyway,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Let's discuss. That's a good jumping
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: off point. We'll talk about what Dave Roberts said there,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and the crowd went wild. So question, what did you
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: take away from the chatter that Dave Roberts? You threw
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it out there, the Dodger chatter from Dave Roberts about
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a three P all right, So I've got alphabet, pasta
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: atomic and tuna fish sandwich, and we will combine all
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make your Babushka's
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: favorite buttered popcorn, the kind of buttered popcord your Babushka
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: just loves.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't get enough of it. So number I said, number?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Yes? All right?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers held this event was the word gods event, right,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: we are the gods of baseball. It was that was
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that kind of I love that Roberts worked in a
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: humble brag. Also, we talked last hour about Jerry Jones
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: humble bragging.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts say, oh, I was on the phone with
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: pat Riley.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: The funny thing about that is Riley's so old at
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: this point. The younger generations don't even know who pat
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Riley is, right, I don't know.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Who that is.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I wasn't around for the showtime Lakers. That's a boomer.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: You're friends with a boomer, Dave Roberts, what's wrong with you?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: But the whole theme was that we are gods. We
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: are the gods of baseball. And it was like the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: full Gladiator You know that famous scene from Gladiator?
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Yeah?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: It was that kind of it. So the whole free
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: peat thing, like what are you supposed to say? Like
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: these things are always corny and over the top anytime
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a team wins.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: A championship, Like, what are you seriously supposed to say?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Dave Roberts had come out and saying,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: let me tell you boys, we've won enough championship.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: My belly is full. I am from all the bling, bling.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Bloated, blooded, blooded blood, blooded blood, it blurred, it blowed
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it blooded. All right, My belly is so frickin full,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I can't even anymore. No, you can't say that, right,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you meagine? Oh, I ate so much alphabet pasta, all
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: those ws w.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: W dob, I got no room left, no room left.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Can't win.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: We're good now, We're satisfied. Can't do it, can't say it,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: You can never be satisfied. So the whole idea that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you enjoyed the moment and just live in the moment.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: None of those guys were living in the mallment. They
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: were already planning for next year. So it's okay, shouldn't
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you just embrace that particular day and just celebrate that
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: day and then you worry about next year at a
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: later point. But no, the champagne had not even dried
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: on the carpet there in Toronto, and they're already campaigning
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: and planning their parade route or root for next year.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: And the Dodgers have turned this in. It's like the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Harlem Globe trotters versus the Washington generals the way they're
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: playing here, and they've got the payroll receipts, the billion
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: dollar boy Boys Club and all that stuff. Then yet
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: we mentioned shoey Otani, who gave the crowd his I'm
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: ready for another ring line from O'tani. It was his
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: quote there. He said it in English, mind you, he
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: said it in English, and the fans of course lost
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: their mind Q the fireworks. There was then the choreographed
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: moment with Dave Roberts needing to bring in the other trophies.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: So who did he call? Ice Cube?
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: He brought in not an actual ice Cube, ice Cube,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the you know, the old guy, Yeah, the rapper, Yeah,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I uh, not really a rapper anymore.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: He's like a businessman anyway.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I ice Cube brought in in a muscle car the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Dodger World Series trophy from center field. Not planned at all,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: very organic, moment just happened. It was very odd that
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: ice Cube just happened to be in his car with
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the World Series trophy in center field the moment Dave
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Roberts needed the trophy.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: What are the odds?
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Ice Cube was just bored.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: He was driving around Dodger Stadium and he just happened
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to be stopped out in center field at Dodger Stadium,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and at that moment he must have known that Dave
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Roberts needed the trophy, so he say, okay, I'll drive
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: it in, no problem. And then security they opened the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: gate and they allowed ice Cube, in a totally organic,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: not scripted mallet at all, to drive it in. Simply amazing.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: The fireworks went off, the muscle car came in there
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: and there it was no it's Dodger fan porn. That's
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: what it was, all of it, total fan porn, porn, porn, porn,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: porn porn, that's what it was. The speech is everything choreographed,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. We're a dynasty baby by Keith k Hernandez.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: He's right, by the way, they are dynasty, and it's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: this is you know what this is for the Dodgers.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: It is the Gilded Age. It is the gilded age
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. At some point, this ownership group's going
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to sell the team. Once they have to pay a
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Tony's seventy million dollars a year not to play baseball,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, they'll sell the team and some other
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: dope will come in and talk about well, we need
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to reset the franchise, and well, we're gonna build through
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the minor league system and the team will suck. But
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: until that happens, it is the Gilded Age for the Dodgers.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Everyone's coddled, everyone's pampered and spoiled. Who plays for the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Dodgers there from their toilets that shoot, you took us
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: with water to the two jumbo jet planes and all
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And you watch what's going on right now
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and how loaded the roster is, and they're going to
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: annoy everyone and sign somebody else.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: In free agency. Again, that's what they do. The Dodgers
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: are so good.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: They signed two of the worst players in baseball, Michael
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Conforto and he was one of them and Tanner Scott
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the other, and still ended up winning the World Series.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Still ended up winning the World Series.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: There, and you know, they had the line, the greatest
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: fans in the world, all that stuff, and so you
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: had to say that line, right. That was Miguel Rojas.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I believe that was his line. I think he said
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that he praised his teammate. It's not all about me,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: that whole thing. So you had those and even the interpreters,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: as mentioned these guys might be out of work here
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: because once you've exposed the fact that you speak English,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: does it become a problem now, because those interpreters probably
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: make ninety thousand dollars a year to travel around.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: With these guys.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And you had both Yamamoto and shohel Tani who went
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: full English at the event, both of them. So there
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: you go. They're they're so dominant, they're now bilingual. So
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: congratulations on that. And that's how the empire rolls on
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: in Dodger Blue. It was a coronation situation and a
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: reminder the Dodgers have become a modern If they were
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a rock band, they'd be like the Beatles back in
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the day. At this point, now, the rest of Major
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, if you look around the landscape of Major
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, they're just like an opening act, hoping, hoping,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: beyond hope. Here to grab a souvenir on the way out. Yeah,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Now, turning the page, but not
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: turning the page too far. Page two.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: TV Land. We go to TV Land, You and I and.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: The question what do the twenty twenty five World Series ratings,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: which were very good, very good, involving.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: The Dodgers in Blue Jays tell us.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: So the ratings came out, and turns out despite having
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a Canadian team in which supposedly is gonna be a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Debbie downer and the ratings wouldn't be that good and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: no one's gonna watch, And well, turned out that just
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't true. People watch and apparently the Dodgers. Of what
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I took away from the TV ratings is apparently the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are not ruining baseball after all. Shocking talk about
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a narrative buster. The Dodgers are killing baseball, said the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: guy on social media that calls sports talk radio and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Twenty If I read this right, twenty
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: six million people. Twenty six million people tuned into Game
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: seven of the World Series. Now that's not just good.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: That's massive in modern television. Bag in the old days
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: they got bigger ratings. But in modern with the cannibalism
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: of entertainment where everything's chopped up into little, bite sized pieces,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you get twenty six million people to watch baseball games.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Pretty good, most watched World Series game since twenty seventeen.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: You might remember that one the Dodgers were in that
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: World Series against the cheating astros. Yeah, bang bang on
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the trash can cheat a cheata chea cheata cheatah cheeta. Meanwhile,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: social media, you guys on social media told me. You said, listen,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: everyone and their mother hate the billionaire boys club, that
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: is the Dodgers. Cannot stand the Dodgers. They're bad for baseball.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: You're running the Sparta baseball, the Dodgers, You're running it.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I thought Sho, Hail Tani and Mookie Betts were supposed
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: to make you tune out.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: You told me that, that's what you told me.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: You told me that people were not gonna watch because
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: of the Dodger payroll. Turns out America still loves watching
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the rich kids. Now were they tuned in to watch
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers lose? It doesn't matter. They watched twenty six
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: million men, women and children tuned in to watch the
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: World Series. And that is not a niche sport. That
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: is an event, that is a massive event.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: And up in.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Canada, the numbers from the people that Rogers they pulled
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: record ratings the channel that carried the World Series in Canada,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: and they estimate that nearly half of all Canadians, almost
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: fifty percent of all Canadians that have access to television,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: watched at least part of Game seven of the world.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Seriest Deep Pritt deep, pretty deep good. Half the fricking
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: country was watching.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Uh so so much for the Dodgers are bad for
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: baseball narrative. Oh it's so bad. The social media echo chamber.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: A reminder for those of you in the back of
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the room, the social media echo chamber is not real.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: It just isn't.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: X thinks everyone's boycotting these big market teams like the
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and all this stuff, and there you go. It
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: turns out not the case. In fact, the Dodgers are
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: actually good for baseball as the bad guys, as the villain.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And if you study entertainment, if you study professional wrestling
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: or just any kind of movie storyline, you look at
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: the storyboard. You have the good guy and the bad guy,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and you gotta have it. And the Dodgers have star power.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Check that box. They've got that big market, a lot
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: of drama. You had some drama there, and so reports
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: of Baseball's to mice have been greatly exaggerated.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm trying to.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Say, that who knew, who knew? The ratings, the villains,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, the big blue, bad guys. They got flash
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and they got the finish and all that stuff. So
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers delivered a little bit of this, a little
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: bit of that, and all work together. And Baseball's problem,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: it turns out, is not the Dodgers. It's not the Dodgers.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: It's the twenty other teams pretending to be on a budget.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. That's a big problem. Dodgers are keeping
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the lights on and they're actually the good guys here,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: which is very odd considering everyone told me they're not
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: all right now. Final point, speaking of that, we'll use
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: that as a jumping off point for our next next
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: conversation point.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: So there is this chatter.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I mentioned this in a previous episode of the show,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of chatter that we're gonna have
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a nuclear winter in baseball. There's gonna be a workstopage,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: either be a lockout or a strike, and there's not
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be baseball playing. There's can be a long long time.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: They're gonna reset all the rules in baseball. This has
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: been the art and the marching in Shouder society. Demanding
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: a salary cap has been outspoken. They've been banging the drum,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: bang bang, bang in the drum yet again. And the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: argument is that all we need is not just a
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: salary cap. We need a salary floor to encourage the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: teams that don't spend a lot of money to spend
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: more money and that will be the magic placebo that
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: will fix everything in the sport of baseball. You might
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: have heard about that. Have you heard about that? I've
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: heard about that. I've heard about that. I've heard about
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: this for years. They've said this disparity in baseball, the
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Dodgers spending too much, they spend too much, in the
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: A's don't spend any money, and we need to have
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: more balanced than all that. So the question on this
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: one would a salary cap and a salary floor motivate?
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: In this case the salary cap floor, would it motivate
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the penny pinching major League Baseball franchises to spend more,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: thus fixing the disparity in payroll between the top five
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: or six teams and everyone else in baseball.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: So this is one of those ideas. There's a lot
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: of this in life.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: As you get older, you realize there's things in life
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: that's sound like a good idea and it makes for
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a good post on social media and you get a
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: lot of way to go, way to go, and then
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: it falls apart.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: In the real world.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: It's like there's a lot of people these days that
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: think they should get everything free, not realizing.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: That someone has to pay for it.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Right. These are called dumb people. They don't understand there's
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: nothing free. Ultimately someone's paying for it, right, Like our
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: friends in New York are probably going to find out
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: about that soon, that someone's going to be paying for it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, you think the Pirates, the A's, the Marlins,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Twins are suddenly going to grow a
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: conscience and start chasing penance because there's a salary cap floor.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Are you that gullible? Give me a break, seriously, are
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: you that dumb? Yeah, but you're in for a surprise
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: if you think that's the case here. They will just
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: find creative ways to f around the rules. Example, the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: worst owner, most people say the worst over in sports,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: this guy Bob Nutting, who he owns the Pirates.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: Bob Nutting.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: There, you think this guy's gonna wake up the day
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: after they put a salary cap floor in baseball and
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: say you know what, why don't we go out and
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: sign Kyle Schwarber. Now we're the Pirates, why don't we
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: sign Kyle Schwarber. What do you say? And we'll sign
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez, the top pitcher in the free agent market
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: as well. That'll go, well, no chance, there is no
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: chance they will. They'll What they're gonna do is they're
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: gonna do it every every team does. In a situation
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: where there's a salary cap floor, they are going to
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: add bad contracts. They will be the dumping ground. Teams
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: like the Pirates, will be the dumping ground for massive
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: bloated contracts in baseball. And what you're gonna see is
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: teams like the Dodgers will use the A's example, Like
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers will call the Athletics up and say, hey,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: we got this guy Tanners Scott.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: He's a dog with fleas.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: The guy's terrible, and we want to get rid of
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: his contract because the salary cap. So what you guys
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: are you're not even at the floor yet, So why
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: don't we send him and we'll put we'll throw in
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: some lottery ticket and we'll send him to the Athletics.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: And then you just give us back like, you know,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: some low level minor league pitcher and then that's it,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: and and that's what the top teams are going to do,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I promise you. How do I know that I've seen
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: it in other sports? Right, He's like, well, I will
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: send you a prospect attached to the veteran player and
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: all that stuff boom, you meet the salary cap for
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: It's creative accounting. It's creative accounting, that's all. It's not
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: winning baseball. It's bookkeeping. It's baseball bookkeeping. And you know,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the Phillies will trade Aaron Nola, who's washed up or
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: certainly was this past season, the starting pitcher. They'll trade
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: him to the Pirates for a half eaten tuna fish
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: sandwich and a half eaten bag of chips and a
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: handshake and a smile.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: That's what they'll do. And it's just cap compliance.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Cosplay is all it is at that particular point. And
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: I remember back in the day the Clippers, back before
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: they were purchased by Steve Balmer, when Stirling owned the team,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: right before the season, they traded for a couple of
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: veteran players and I was like, wow, the Clippers are
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: trying to improve the roster. No, no, no, they were
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: so far there was like a salary cap minimum you
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: had to spend in the NBA, and I don't know
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: if they still have that.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: I think they do.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: But the Clippers traded because they traded for these two contracts,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't even have them on the roster, just so
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: they could be compliant with the low end of the payroll.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: That's it. And so the teams will make phony trades.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: You'll see a lot of phony trades just to check
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the box. What's in the box? Phony trade, same playbook,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: same playbook. So MLB teams are the teams that aren't
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: trying to compete, are going to continue not trying to compete.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: They love the food snamps. They can't get enough of
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: the food snamps. They're those snap benefits for billionaires are
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: just snap. But the snap so good. And if you
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: think the floor forces effort, if you think that's going
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: to force these teams to try to win, you to
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: read a book or something like that, learn a little
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: bit about life.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

  Speaker 5: Are Gyler, how about that? To the third degree? This
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: is one big Ben gets great.
• 43:27
  Speaker 10: Right ahead of the Cardinals Monday night football matchup against
• 43:30
  Speaker 10: the Cowboys, Mike Florio reported that, well, Kyler Murray won't
• 43:34
  Speaker 10: be going anywhere before the trade deadline this year after
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: the season, the trade is not only a possibility but likely, Ben,
• 43:39
  Speaker 10: Do you think that'll be the case?
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if they can find a team dumbenof to take
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't like playing football and would rather
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: be a video gamer off their hands, absolutely they will
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: trade Kyler Murray. No, they would have traded him two
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: years ago if they could have. There's no one dumb
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: enough to take his kind of the only stupid team
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: to take this guy's to Cardinals.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: They gotta find somebody dumber than them next.
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford has won a Super Bowl, is all over
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: the record books, but he lacks individual accolades. However, some
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: analysts think that he needs to be considered for MVP
• 44:09
  Speaker 10: this season.
• 44:09
  Speaker 11: What do you think, Ben?
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: All Right, So, first of all, I don't think there's
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: anyone who's the MVP right now. It's like to me,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: it's wide open. Nobody's established himself. That's the first thing.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Stafford's been great. I thought he was gonna be done.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Is back was all messed up. I'm shocked that he's
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: played as well as he has. I didn't have that
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: on my Bengo card. I don't he's been good. I
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: don't think he's MVP good though.
• 44:29
  Speaker 10: Next a little over a week ago, we talked about
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: how Jimbo Fisher wants to return to coaching, but that
• 44:34
  Speaker 10: he will be picky about his opportunities. Now his name
• 44:36
  Speaker 10: is being floated as a potential higher for Auburn, then
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: you think that would be a good fit for Fisher.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: No, he's already won the lottery from Texas A and M.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Why but just enjoy your life? What are you doing?
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Why even bother coaching? Unless he can embezzle some more
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: money out of Auburn and they'll pay him.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: A lot of money. But it's it's not a great
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: job in the SEC. How did we do you passes it?
