• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So we go to baseball, talking.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Bay's Ball, and I lead this hour from Chicago, big money,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: big drama involving a big bear, a Chicago Cup. Now,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I would argue that very few people tuning the Cub
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Baseball to watch this guy play, and that very few
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: people buy tickets to watch this guy play. But yet
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: he is said to be the headliner of the Cubs.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: They're at a crossroads. If you don't know where I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: going with this, maybe not so Kyle Tucker. Yes, So
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it's Tucker and Tucker. We started last hour with the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Ravens kicker, and now we're talking about Kyle Tucker. So,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker is at a crossroads at Wrigley Field. He
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: is in the last year of his contract and the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: new deal. The great new deal sounds like it's at Washington,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: DC for Kyle Tucker would pay him in the neighborhood
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of five hundred million dollars. Now, this one blows me away.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I think Tucker is a fine player. I just don't
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: think of him as a box office guy.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I don't. Everywhere I read it's a five hundred million dollars.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That's the get in buy in price for the Cubs,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and so there's no deal yet. Therefore, the Chicago Cubs
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: front office has to make a decision. The Cubs are
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: not playing as well as they were early in the year.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Everyone has a shot at the playoffs because they have
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: all these wild card teams, so everyone's kind of in contention.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Unless you're the Rockies or the A's or the White Sox,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you're kind of in contention or the Marlins to make
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. So most of the league has a chance
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. Now that being said, the trade
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: deadline is about a month a little over a month.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: July thirty first is the trade deadline. So if the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Cubs aren't going to keep the player, would they trade
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker. They have to decide that. Oh the human drama.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So Kyle Tucker was asked about the ongoing negotiation.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Do you see this?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: No, So Kyle Tucker was asked about negotiations on an
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: extension this week. What did he say? He said, quote,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: For the most part, We're just going to keep that
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: between us. If anything happens, I'm sure you guys will know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Close quote. So let us discuss the question. Can you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: read anything? Can you read.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Anything into Kyle Tucker's response to the question about the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Cubs contract talks and where they are right now?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So of course you can.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Now in this one, I've got Christie's, Pyongyang and Pet Boys,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: we are going to make deep dish Chicago pizza, which
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I believe is in the freezer here courtesy of Perito.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? Do I have that accurate? All right?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Prita.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Sea may or may not be the reason I'm here,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: but I'm just pointing that out. Not that I don't
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: love being here and hanging out with my friends, but anyway,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: all right, So number one number, he said, Number one,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I got a feeling in my bones.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Number one number okay, all right. So if you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Listen between the words, you parse the words, which you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: have to do. And if you ever get a talk
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: show or a podcast, just parse words. That's all you
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: have to do. It's easy, pasy, fun to do. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: uh and you can come up with all kinds of answers.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So on this one, and this is based on a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: lifetime of dealing with these kind of stories. If a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: guy says we're just gonna keep it between us, Kyle
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Tucker is sending out a smoke signal, that is a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: dead giveaway, dead giveaway. It was the non answer that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: is an answer. Non answer that is an answer.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Now what do I mean? Let me expand on that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So you think a guy who wants a long term contract,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a player that really likes where he's playing, you think
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: they give that answer we're gonna keep it private. No, No,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: they say stuff like, oh, man, I love it here.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I got a place right on Lake Michigan's beautiful. I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: right next to Cowherd here in Chicago.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I know he's gonna have to move because he got
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: drafted by the Trailblazers. According to ESPN, So some coward's
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: gonna move. But for now, I'm like right next to him,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and it's just great. And I got sick views the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: weather in the summer in Chicago is no better city
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to live in.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It's just amazing. Oh my god.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't say anything. I want to retire here,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the greatest fans in the world. We're building something special.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I don't want to leave this team. He didn't say
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: any of that. So now if the Cubs also, if
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the Cubs had not had not made him an offer,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: they obviously made him an offer the mad and there
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: would be nothing to keep between the team and the player.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So they made him an offer. Wasn't an acceptable offer,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: otherwise he would have accepted the offer. So so at
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: this point it's like, well, he really wants to go
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: to free agency, but they're playing ping pong. They're going
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: back and forth and negotiate it. It's the money could be,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the amount of years, could be, the amount of deferred money.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: They want the Dodger.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Set up where they get paid till they're eighty years
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: old to avoid taxes.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So who knows.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Now that being said, the smart money based on a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: minutes long deliberation of the available information. The smart money,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: says that Kyle Tucker is going to hit the Christie's swap.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Meet, if you know what I mean that the.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Between us line was yeah. What he meant to say
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: was yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm probably leaving. But I don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: want to deal with the drama of you people freaking
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: out when I say I'm going to test the market.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to market.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So rather than say that, I'm just gonna keep it
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: between us. No, he does not have Kyle Tucker does
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: not have Scott Boris as his client. So that gives
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the Cubs a little bit of wiggle room, little bit
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of wiggle room. If Scott Boris's client, there's no way
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you even consider any kind of extension.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: That's it. Forget about it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: But nevertheless, all right, nevertheless, which you want is a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: bidding war.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You want a bidding war? How do you get a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: bidding war? How do you do it?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Silent auction at Christie's. And you bring in the socks,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: not the White Sox they suck, the Red Sox, the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Higandas who are spending some money, the Giants. They just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: traded for Rafael Devers and his enormous contract and his
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: enormous waistline, and then the Yankees, the match, the Dodgers,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the usual suspects and the Cubs.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And up, up and away the bidding war. Right now,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: turning the.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Page, we now take a little pit stop in Boston
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: where I did a double check at the recent comments
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: by Alex Cora. So you see what he said. He's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the manager of the Boston baseball team. So Alex Cora,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox manager who once fancied himself for the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: players manager.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I'm all about the players and all that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: He has decided he also can manage the media. Now
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that's right, Alex Cora is now in charge of the media.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't know I need a manager, but apparently I do.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So if you didn't see this, he said, everyone is
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: supposed to zip it radio silence and just nod solemnly
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and move on. Do not mention Rafael Devers. Don't mention
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: his name because Alex core.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Does not want you to talk about that. He wants
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to move on. That's what he said. So Alexe korra.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Urging everyone to stop discussing the Rafael Devers trade to
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: help the Red Sox clubhouse move on?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Is that how this works?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm asking for a friend, so ix nay on the ask,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that would be my response to Unfortunately, Alex kra you're
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: not the manager.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: You're not the mayor, you're not the big.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Politician there in Pyongyang where you could get away with that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: That's not how it works here.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Sorry, not sorry, right, And Alice core is the same
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: guy who failed miserably to use diplomacy. If Alice Cora
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: had been good at his job, Rafael Devers would still
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: be playing for the Red Sox that was botched from
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Jump Street by Alice Cora and the front office. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Alice Cora was supposed to be the ultimate player's manager
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff. And as we said, and he
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: could not convince Rafaeld Devers to be a team player,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: to go to grab a first base mix and go
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: out and play first base and all that stuff. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: so now he wants to dictate the baseball news cycle.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those stories. And then listen,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I try to talk baseball in the show a fair amount,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and we talk more baseball here than most places do
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: doing this kind of work. But these are the kind
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of stories that provide guitar. It reminds me of like
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and just say, well, you shouldn't talk about this. It's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: like when that dumb, dumb Mookie bets more on him
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in a minute, when the Padres and Dodgers were getting
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: into a slobber knocker and mookies.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that, but why not.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: That's the story that gets people engaged, dummy, and you
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: want to talk about it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: But as far as this one is concerned, right, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you know, all of a sudden, you know, mid season
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: trade of the franchise cornerstone forever player to another another
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: team across the country, and it's just another random day
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: in the major leagues. So this is the part of
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the story where you put Alex Cora on airplane mode. Right,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: you just did no Wi Fi and that's it. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of course, if he didn't already, I don't get a
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: check from aus Kora. Neither does well unless you work
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: for Red Sox dot Com.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I guess you do if you work for the team.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: We're not.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: We're not in the dugout. We should be, but we're not.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: And I don't believe check my contract. I don't believe
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: we're obligated to pretend that this massive size mike shift
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: of a Red Sox player to basically given away.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: The rich's actually got garbage for him from the.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Giants, that that is not something of talk talk radio purpose.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Even later, like i's been been a minute, been a
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks, but still right now, final point to La.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: We go, we go to La and sure enough the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Dodgers completed the old sweep aeroo of the Rockies there. However,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: not all as well in Blue Heaven.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Mookie Bets had a couple of hits, but he is
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: in the midst of his worst season in the big leagues.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Moogie Bets has often sucked at a time you cannot suck.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: That's not my opinion, that is a fact. What's the evidence.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I'll give you the ovens. So Moogie Bets is on pace.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: We're halfway through the baseball season. He is on pace
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to have the lowest batting average, lowest on base percentage,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: lowest slugging percentage of his entire career, the very bottom,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: rock bottom for the Moxster, rock bottom now. Dave Roberts
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: recently was asked about the obvious connection. Well, the reason
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Mookie Bets blows is because he's playing shortstop and it's
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a tougher position defensively, and so it's spilling over. There's
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: some spillage, it's spilling into his offensive game.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Roberts pushed back on that and says there's no correlation
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: between Mookie Bets sucking offensively compared to what he had
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: been and now being shortstop for the Dodgers. So question,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: what is the level of concern? What is the level
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of concern for the Dodgers with shortstop Mookie Bets and
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: his subparse performance for the team this season. So mallor
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: scale of concern, Mallard scale of concerned one to ten,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: with ten being.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Like alarm bell is going on. I'm a a seven.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I might have said, very distressing.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Now I've been in like chat conversations, like text conversations
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: with some.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Friends and they're like, oh man, it doesn't matter, he'll
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: hit when the playoffs come around. So how do you
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: know that? Like, how do you know?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: And you don't know that he hasn't hit pretty much
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: all season, right, He's been a bust, and so he's
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: just assuming when the playoffs come around, all of a sudden,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: he's gonna what are you gonna get a corked bat
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: or something like that. I mean, come on, Mookie is
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: one of the pillars of the what's supposed to be
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the big Blue wrecking crew, and you get three hundred
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: and sixty five million dead presidents. That's a lot of
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: monopoly money. And you should get more production, it goes
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: without saying, than what Mookie Bets has provided for the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Dodgers this year. And at this point you might as
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: well call a tow truck and send the Mookie over
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to Pep Boys there for a tune up, because he's
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the engine, or at least part of
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the engine, and right now the check engine light is
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: on for Mookie Bets. He's the second lowest on base
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: plus slugging percentage in the Dodgers every day lineup, the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: only one, and this is among all their qualified hitters.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: The only player that sucks more than Mookie Bets is
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Michael Conforto, who actually has hit a little bit recently,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: but still took the first two months of the baseball
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: season off. But Mookie trails six other players in the
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: everyday Dodger lineup in that category. So again, I still
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: want to hear it's a long season, don't worry. I
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: have to worry about today's show. I have a show
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to do today. I have to worry about what's going
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: on right now in this moment. We live in the moment,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: and in this moment, he sucks. That's it. And you
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: are I know this is a wild concept and you're
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: not gonna like it, but you are judged by your results.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: It's a results based business, and right now the results
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: are screaming that Mookie Betts has relocated to a little
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: suburb of Los Angeles called Suckville and he is the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: mayor of Suckville right now. So do better and be better.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: And it's not outrageous. You're making three hundred and sixty
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: five million and all that. And if Mookie, you say
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: it's a bad year, it's a slump or something like that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: But if he lost something, he's he'said some medical stuff.

• 32:55
  Speaker 8: just gonna let it slow.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, all.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: Right, Blind Scott talking about Filexis and Holler and James
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: is so hypocritical, Blind Scott. He slams everyone he can. Uh,
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: he is the quote creepy and rude unquote caller of
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: the year. And then he admits to taking money from
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: his mommy. I mean, how old is this guy? Store
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: hospitals and medicare so those of us who work have
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: to pay for his staffs with price hikes and more taxes.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: He needs to shut the f up.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Finally, last person, Okay, how do you really feel, Tammy?

  Speaker 1: How do you really feel?

  Speaker 8: I'm letting it out because it's it's.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Been a while, a long time.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're back.
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Now, Lorena, you need to think before you criticize
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: somebody's phone quality.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: Dick and Dayton.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: Dick and Dayton has called in for at least fifteen years,
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: never had phone issues. He moved into assisted living. Oh
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: my god, maybe it's not the best connection. We were
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: all able to hear and appreciate his.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Call as all line, we're bleeding.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: And as far as seeking attention and being fake, as
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: you said about a caller, you're an expert at being fake.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: And see, wow, that's very rud there you're going, all right,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: thank you, my god, very rude. How about that tammy
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: throwing haymakers out there. I don't even know that woman
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: all right, anyway, it is the Bane Malla.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: She's very angry. Uh no, we were big fans of
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton and find her a man, all right,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Uh all right, calm down please, and I will have
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: to get to Ohio.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: We learned our friend Dick and Dayton has now moved
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: into assisted living, so we have to make sure we
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: get there at some point here soon.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: That's the plan so we can have a big Mallard meeting,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: which is really just going to be to hang out
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and celebrate the many phone calls.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: The great moments from Dick and Date who talked about
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: his friend Dave Dave from Dayton they call him Dave,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: and all the amazing phone calls that he has made
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: over his time on the show.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: So there is that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: What's good to know, the boss, It's better to be
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: related to the boss, and that would be the Colorado Rockies,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: who are not only a baseball team, but man do
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: they suck. And the Rockies have made a decision in
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the front office.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: They have made a change.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: The COO, the president of the outgoing president COO of
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the Rockies, so you don't know of his stepping down
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year after thirty seasons in
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: the front office. So the team needed a new executive
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: vice president and they have announced they are promoting the
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: oldest son of Dick Montfort, the guy that owns the team.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: The plot thickens. So, yeah, this guy, Walker Montfort, thirty
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: eight years old and he is now going to be
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the big cheese for the Rockies. Wow, he's the NEPO
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: executive VP. Now I know nepotisms everywhere. Lebron James convinced
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: the Lakers. He just told them to draft his kid
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: and give him a guaranteed contract. So the Lakers did.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: And there's a bunch of coaches in the NFL that
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: are NEPO babies and players all over the plays. But
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the owner promoting the kid. My god, man, the Rockies,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know that they'll ever have another good team.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: My life like I saw them in the World Shop.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I do not know that they will have another good
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: team in my lifetime. They are so bad anyway. It
• 36:32

  Speaker 2: Zach Effron, all right, No, that isn't great. He is

  Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger back in twenty seventeen.

• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Our friend Bree. What do we have here?
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: With all the rumors going around this with the Celtics,
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: everything must go roster sale? Were you surprised that Jalen
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: Brown is still at Boston Celtic today after the draft, and.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: He's still there a little bit, but they do have
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: to sell tickets.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: They can't get her of everyone.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: If somebody had made them the Godfather offer, they would
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: have traded Jalen Brown. It's still not out of the
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: question because you still trade him before you know, he's
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: got a couple months ago in the summertime before the
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: NBA season. I'm only slightly surprised because he's got a
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: three hundred million dollars contract.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: They're trying to trim the payroll. Next.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: During his first media availabil after drafting Cooper Flag, Nico
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: Harrison said, Fortune favors the bold.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what do you think of these comments? I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: think Nico Harrison should be fired.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: And the fact that he still has a job is
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Malfeasan's by the ownership of the Dallas Mavericks. And there
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: is bad mojo. I don't normally believe in mojo, but
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: there's bad mojo around the Mavericks. Either the NBA forced
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: them to trade Luca or Nico Harrison decided to trade Luca.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Either way, they got to get rid of Nico Harrison
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: because at any moment he could wake up and say
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: whoever the best player on the Mavericks says we're gonna
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: trade him next.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: AMC's website now displays a reminder that movie showtime has
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: come with twenty five to thirty minutes of previews. Do
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: you think this is a good idea or totally pointless?
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: It's totally pointless. Anyone's ever been in the movies knows
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: that when you go to the movies, it doesn't start
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: when it's supposed to start. They're gonna play the trailers,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: and that's when you go get your popcorn, your can,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: and your snacks. Everyone knows it's obvious. You don't need
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to announce it. They're just worried about lawsuits.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: How do we die?
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I put it on the phone. Jerome, I won Jerome
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: and Charleston, I won the game.
