• 3:04
  He's been busy. He was traveling with his family
• 3:07
  over there to the winter meetings.
• 3:09
  He's been relaxing and we finally get a man.
• 3:11
  It's Jabba's man. We are now talking to MLB.com
• 3:14
  Yankees beat reporter and author of 62 Mr. Brian Hoke.
• 3:20
  Brian, what's up, buddy? I'm waiting for my.
• 3:22
  Jerky bee Hoke. It's kind of Santa Claus is
• 3:25
  bringing it to town. It's coming, I promise.
• 3:28
  Yeah. Yeah, wow, Jabba, I got to say
• 3:31
  you you joined the club here, huh?
• 3:33
  And you know what? You can only pause the 3rd so
• 3:36
  much B. You know what I'm saying?
• 3:37
  And it's why why didn't you tell me to join it earlier?
• 3:42
  Because it's so much easier. Oh yeah, you don't even have to
• 3:44
  worry about anything anymore. It's great.
• 3:46
  It's awesome. It takes 2 minutes, you jump in,
• 3:49
  then you clean the skillet and then you're good.
• 3:51
  I want to get into the Yankees. The Yankees have been the talk
• 3:54
  of New York. Well, actually, you haven't been
• 3:56
  in. The Mets have been a talk in New
• 3:57
  York. The Yankees have been no talk
• 3:59
  because the Yankees haven't done anything.
• 4:01
  It seems like Cody Bellinger is still a free agent.
• 4:05
  The Yankees lost Devin Williams to the Mets.
• 4:07
  The Yankees are still still trying to figure out who their
• 4:10
  closer is going to be. Are they going to add a Japanese
• 4:13
  pitcher? Are they going to go after
• 4:15
  Tucker? Are they going to sign Cody
• 4:17
  Bellinger? Are they going to make a trade
• 4:18
  for Bryce Harper? I don't know, Brian, what's
• 4:21
  going on with the Yankees? Well, I was going to say we
• 4:23
  don't have much to talk about, but you just covered plenty
• 4:26
  right there. And so, yeah, they haven't done
• 4:28
  much from outside. And I don't know where you want
• 4:30
  to start here, but let's start with Bellinger.
• 4:33
  He's their top priority. They want to bring him back.
• 4:35
  There's like 1000 reasons they should bring him back.
• 4:38
  And I just feel like they're, they're not going to come in
• 4:41
  with the top bid. And when you have Scott Boris as
• 4:43
  your, your agent, you're going to take every dollar that's on
• 4:46
  the table. And so I, I feel like Bellinger
• 4:48
  for the Yankees is a guy they want back.
• 4:51
  They should have back. But I feel like, I feel like if
• 4:54
  I'm a Yankee fan, I'm preparing right now to watch him go across
• 4:57
  town because that seems to be the MO of this offseason.
• 5:00
  Is that everybody trades their pinstripes and goes and suits up
• 5:04
  for Steve Cohen and puts on some orange and blue.
• 5:07
  So you asked me about 1000 more questions.
• 5:09
  Let's get to the other ones. No be like for me like going
• 5:15
  through these things and seeing kind of what has happened and
• 5:18
  what hasn't happened. Do you think the fear of them
• 5:23
  not signing a lot of these guys where we thought there would be
• 5:25
  some more stuff going? Do you think the fear of a
• 5:29
  stoppage is kind of slowing these guys down or not?
• 5:33
  I'm not sure to be honest with you, because you see guys
• 5:36
  signing all around the league, so I think that there's movement
• 5:40
  all around the league. So I can't say that it's because
• 5:43
  of that. I think that of course we all
• 5:45
  know that that is a possibility that's out there, but I feel
• 5:49
  like if you're a free agent right now in this market, you
• 5:51
  want to get paid no, no matter what's going to happen in 2027.
• 5:55
  So these guys are going to have to get their contrast because
• 5:57
  they got another year to go between them and they got bills
• 5:59
  to pay just like the rest of us. They just happen to be bigger
• 6:02
  than the rest of us, right? So there's even more motivation
• 6:05
  to to go get that money. But you asked about EMI, and I
• 6:08
  think that's a really interesting way the Yankees can
• 6:11
  go here because if Bellinger signs with Mets or whoever
• 6:15
  tomorrow, I think their move is to pivot to pitching.
• 6:18
  I think that this is a team that scored the most runs in a majors
• 6:21
  last year. They crush a bunch of home runs.
• 6:23
  They would score plenty of runs with or without Bellinger.
• 6:27
  You give Jason Dominguez a chance to show what he can do in
• 6:29
  left field. And I think where the Yankees
• 6:32
  really failed last year, where they fell short, was on the
• 6:35
  pitching side. And I think that when you can do
• 6:37
  it, you bring in an EMI. Even if you don't, you still
• 6:40
  have arguably the best rotation in baseball.
• 6:43
  You can bulk up the bullpen, too.
• 6:44
  I think that's what the Yankees would do.
• 6:46
  They'd have some money to spend if they don't bring back
• 6:48
  Bellinger and you bulk up that bullpen.
• 6:50
  David Bednar's probably their closer right now, but it's a
• 6:53
  little thin behind him. Camille Duvall is kind of a
• 6:56
  project. Tim Hill is a nice lefty guy,
• 6:59
  but I I think they could bulk that up in the back innings.
• 7:02
  What about the trade market for the Yankees?
• 7:03
  Because we're we're not going to hearing it as much because of
• 7:05
  the Mets versus the Red Sox and all these other teams that have
• 7:07
  the bigger prospect pools. But the Yankees, obviously with
• 7:09
  the emergence of a lot of the young pitching they had last
• 7:10
  year, especially with Schlittler, maybe there's some
• 7:12
  leeway to trade one of the other guys in their rotation.
• 7:15
  Will Warren maybe even heal in a bigger deal?
• 7:17
  What are you hearing from the Yankees trade market
• 7:19
  perspective? Yeah, absolutely.
• 7:21
  They're getting hits on all those guys.
• 7:23
  I don't think Schlittler's somebody that they're looking to
• 7:25
  trade. They possibly could do that in
• 7:27
  the right deal. I think Spencer Jones, the guy
• 7:29
  they're getting a ton of hits on right now because teams are
• 7:32
  trying to figure out with Jason Dominguez as well too.
• 7:35
  What we talked about there. What is their plan with
• 7:37
  Dominguez, with Jones? If you do bring back Bellinger,
• 7:40
  you can't keep them all. I mean, it does nobody any good
• 7:43
  to have Dominguez sitting on the bench for another season, which
• 7:46
  is basically what he did in the second-half in last year going
• 7:49
  into the playoffs. So I there's some questions
• 7:51
  there with the Yankees that what are they exactly?
• 7:54
  Are they going to do? Jazz Chisholm has been hit on in
• 7:56
  trade talks. He's in his final year of
• 7:58
  arbitration. Do they see him as their second
• 8:01
  baseman of the future or is he a guy that they could cash in if
• 8:05
  they get the right deal coming their way?
• 8:07
  And certainly you don't want to give up on Jazz.
• 8:09
  He's a 3030 second baseman who could possibly be 4040 for you
• 8:13
  if everything breaks right. But I mean, he's got value.
• 8:16
  And if they were going to make a major move with a contending
• 8:19
  Dean, probably then he would be one of their biggest chips.
• 8:22
  So I I don't necessarily see that one happening.
• 8:24
  But the guys you mentioned there heal Warren Schlittler.
• 8:28
  If the right move came along, I think you would think about it.
• 8:31
  You brought up something about Dominguez and Spencer Jones,
• 8:35
  right? And I think they're very equal
• 8:37
  in what they what they are. But Dominguez you've seen in the
• 8:41
  big leagues, Why didn't Spencer Jones get that opportunity?
• 8:44
  Because you obviously looked at like his value of what he was
• 8:48
  when he got to AAA, right? And they wanted to move to being
• 8:52
  as faster. And we've kind of seen what he's
• 8:54
  done in the big leagues. Why do you think that they
• 8:57
  didn't give Spencer Jones or bring him up at the end?
• 9:00
  Because it may have changed. We've all seen this where
• 9:03
  sometimes change of scenery makes it better.
• 9:06
  And he stayed there being the Martian and what he is now if
• 9:10
  you give Spencer Jones that chance.
• 9:12
  So do you think there's do you think they have value over one
• 9:16
  or the other? The only reason I would see it
• 9:19
  personally is the fact that he's played in the big leagues and
• 9:22
  not been what they thought he was.
• 9:24
  But you never had an opportunity to see what Spencer Jones is.
• 9:28
  Right. You know, it's funny that Brian
• 9:30
  Cashman did talk about that at the winter meetings.
• 9:31
  He said they talked about and thought about the idea that
• 9:35
  Dominguez wasn't playing. And look at how where outfield
• 9:37
  was last year, Judge was MVP, Trent Grisham was in the middle
• 9:41
  of a career year, Bellinger was doing great in left field.
• 9:44
  So there really weren't the at bats there for Dominguez to
• 9:47
  really get much playing time. And so they actually did talk
• 9:50
  about sending him down and they thought that it wouldn't be fair
• 9:53
  to him because it wasn't his fault.
• 9:55
  It wasn't like he played his way out of a job.
• 9:57
  It was basically they just couldn't justify playing him
• 10:00
  over the guys that I just mentioned.
• 10:01
  So maybe if the landscapes a little different, they could do
• 10:04
  that. And I think that with Jones,
• 10:06
  that was the same deal. You weren't going to call him up
• 10:08
  just to sit on the bench. Don't have a 40 man roster
• 10:11
  expansion, you got 28. So you really do have to kind of
• 10:15
  be selective and take the guys who can help you.
• 10:17
  And if Jones is going to sit on the bench all week and get one
• 10:20
  or two at bats a week, and you're taking away development
• 10:22
  time from a guy who did make some strides last year.
• 10:25
  He cut down on the strikeouts. The defense is pretty good, but
• 10:28
  he's still got room to to grow. And I, I won't be shocked if he
• 10:31
  begins the year in AAA again and then has to get called up later
• 10:35
  in the year. But I also wouldn't rule out the
• 10:38
  idea that he can make this team out of spring training because
• 10:40
  we saw it three years ago with Anthony Volpe.
• 10:43
  Nobody gave him a shot to be the opening day shortstop.
• 10:45
  And I know that it hasn't worked out as great as everybody
• 10:48
  thought it would then. But he came in, he tore it up in
• 10:51
  spring training. He was undeniable and they would
• 10:54
  have looked ridiculous sending him down.
• 10:56
  So I think if Jones has that kind of spring, he can make this
• 10:58
  team. Brian, you you look, you
• 11:00
  mentioned Anthony Volpe and a lot of people don't.
• 11:03
  There's a lot of fans out there that have gone out going after
• 11:06
  the Yankees and said move them, trade him, get rid of them.
• 11:08
  And I do believe he's still fairly young.
• 11:11
  He's 2324 years old, still has a lot of baseball left.
• 11:14
  The guy put up some power numbers.
• 11:16
  He had over 20 home runs at the shortstop position.
• 11:19
  Not many shortstops do that in the league.
• 11:21
  I know he's not hitting for average.
• 11:22
  I think he I think he was batting 2O5.
• 11:25
  He was batting in the ones at some point this year.
• 11:28
  He hasn't been good, OK, as far as offensively and he was one of
• 11:31
  the worst. He had one of the worst
• 11:32
  defensive years we've ever seen a player have since Chuck
• 11:35
  Noblock. OK, He hasn't been good, OK, But
• 11:39
  I do believe that Anthony Volpe has a lot of opportunity to to
• 11:44
  figure things out and still become the player that the
• 11:47
  Yankees believed he was going to be.
• 11:49
  He was a high draft pick. He has the ability to be a great
• 11:53
  an elite defender and he still has pop in his bat.
• 11:56
  Do you think the the Yankees are pushing away or pushing away
• 12:00
  from him and maybe decide let's move away from a let's trade
• 12:03
  him, let him, let's send him somewhere else.
• 12:05
  And do we go after a guy like Bichette who has been
• 12:08
  successful, that has the power that comes from the pedigree.
• 12:11
  His father was a sensational player.
• 12:14
  Do you think they go after a superstar like that?
• 12:16
  Nobody. Said he wants to move to second
• 12:17
  base and you're not just, you're not going.
• 12:19
  To. Move money.
• 12:20
  You're not going to move a 30. You're not going to move a 3030
• 12:22
  guy from second base because they tried him at third base.
• 12:24
  They're not going to move. They're not going to get a
• 12:26
  Pachette and move Jazz unless they move him.
• 12:29
  They're not going to do. It money talks and and it's all.
• 12:31
  About it does, but you're not going to move a 3030 guy unless
• 12:34
  you get something. I just believe that when with
• 12:37
  the Yankees, they're all about superstars over the years.
• 12:39
  Now, I don't know if Hal's thinking that way because he's
• 12:42
  not his his father George, but if it was George Steinbrenner, I
• 12:46
  could see them going after Pachette and trying to spin the
• 12:48
  wheel. But.
• 12:49
  You you hate jazz Chism, but I. Don't they don't like super?
• 12:53
  Is a superstar in his own right for what he's done.
• 12:56
  Bichette has never been Jazz Chisholm.
• 12:58
  Let's just look at it. Yeah, he led the league in hits,
• 13:00
  but he he's never been a 3030 guy.
• 13:03
  Again, he also didn't play in Yankee Stadium and Jazz Chisholm
• 13:06
  before he you. Still got to hit the ball, man.
• 13:09
  Yeah, he's, he played in Miami. He was all right in Miami.
• 13:12
  He comes to Yankee Stadium. It's all thirty home runs.
• 13:14
  You're going to tell me that Bichette comes to get to Yankee
• 13:16
  Stadium? He's not going to hit over 30
• 13:18
  home runs. The guy's got popping his bat.
• 13:20
  He plays with the Blue Jays. He plays in Toronto.
• 13:22
  That's not a hitting ballpark. Come on man, you're going to
• 13:25
  tell me that if. Well, it depends on if the roof
• 13:27
  is closed or not. I'm just saying, you're going to
• 13:30
  tell me that Bichette can't hit 30?
• 13:32
  He can't hit 40 over there in Yankee Stadium.
• 13:34
  Look at the short porch. I think you can hit 30, Jabba.
• 13:37
  I mean, seriously, I might see that.
• 13:40
  It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous to say, well,
• 13:43
  Jazz Chisholm or Chisholm, whatever you want to call him.
• 13:46
  Oh, he's a superstar in his own right.
• 13:48
  I think he's one of the most overrated players at his
• 13:51
  position and all he does does his yap, yap, yap, and he wears
• 13:54
  his stick chains and he shows off on and off the field.
• 13:57
  Well, guess what? Do it in the playoffs because to
• 13:59
  me he was a choke or a choke artist against the Blue Jays.
• 14:03
  He didn't show up in that series.
• 14:05
  And one of the reasons why the Yankees couldn't get over the
• 14:07
  hump against the Blue Jays was because of the old jazzy baby.
• 14:11
  That's what I think. Guys, this sounds like my
• 14:13
  Twitter mentions during the postseason last year.
• 14:15
  You guys, I've heard all this before.
• 14:18
  I've read it all before. I'm a I'm a Jazz Chism fan.
• 14:21
  I I know what he adds to the Yankee dynamic there.
• 14:24
  I like the the energy. I think it's something to where
• 14:27
  the clubhouse needs a player like that who can stir things
• 14:30
  up. And as a beat reporter covering
• 14:32
  this team, I love a guy who speaks his mind and does though
• 14:35
  without a filter. So no, I'm a big Jazz fan and
• 14:38
  you know, I got a lot of heat As for suggesting what I just said
• 14:42
  earlier here that the Yankees could entertain trading him and
• 14:45
  and of course, Frank Ashman confirmed that.
• 14:48
  But a lot of people were saying, oh, you hate Jazz because XYZ is
• 14:52
  no way. I'm just telling you what's
• 14:54
  happening, guys. And so to go back to your thing
• 14:56
  about Bichette, you know, I was talking to people in Toronto.
• 14:59
  I was covering the ALCS last year because I had to go up and
• 15:02
  do that Seattle Toronto series. And I was kind of poking around
• 15:05
  a little bit there and I asked, first of all, people in the Blue
• 15:10
  Jays, they think Bichettes coming back, but they also think
• 15:13
  if he went to the Yankees, he'd be a great fit there.
• 15:15
  He'd be a great fit in Yankee Stadium, in the clubhouse.
• 15:18
  His power numbers would go up in the Bronx.
• 15:21
  The the problem I would have with him bringing him in is
• 15:23
  defensively, he's not your shortstop.
• 15:25
  And I know Volpe had trouble defensively last year, but you
• 15:29
  can see where he would get better with better health
• 15:33
  because Shet needs to get moved off of shortstop.
• 15:35
  So you you're talking about him as a third baseman or a second
• 15:38
  baseman as we talked about there.
• 15:39
  Yankees are set at second base with Jazz for at least one more
• 15:42
  year. And don't forget they traded for
• 15:44
  Ryan McMahon and that's fifteen, $16,000,000.
• 15:47
  That's significant. It's not like you have Oswaldo
• 15:49
  Cabrera at 3rd and you can just move him off there.
• 15:51
  So I, I feel like the Yankees are just kind of too, too top
• 15:55
  heavy to bring in somebody like that without moving something
• 15:58
  off I. Want to ask about the veteran
• 16:00
  pictures now with with Rodon and also with Garrett Cole coming
• 16:02
  back. He had missed the entire season
• 16:04
  last year and then Rodon had a Goodyear strikeouts.
• 16:07
  Why? He's probably his best year as a
• 16:08
  Yankee, but still has been kind of up and down in his career.
• 16:10
  Like, could you see the Yankees potentially look if they maybe
• 16:13
  have a down year at the trade deadline or anything like that,
• 16:16
  shopping one of them or even like one of these trades in a
• 16:18
  bigger deal, a bigger. Trade.
• 16:20
  We're talking about moving Carlos Rodon.
• 16:23
  At that contract right right now or if that's the deadline you
• 16:26
  think? I don't know.
• 16:28
  It's a pretty significant contract.
• 16:29
  I mean, I I guess he has value. And yeah, you never say never,
• 16:33
  but that's The thing is that to to move these guys to move if
• 16:38
  you wanted to a Garrett Cole or a Carlos Rodon or a Max Freed,
• 16:41
  which of course you're not going to do.
• 16:42
  But to do that, there's so much weight on that and there's a
• 16:45
  very small list of teams that could even take on that kind of
• 16:48
  contract without going underwater.
• 16:51
  And so, no, I don't see it. I think that more likely if the
• 16:55
  Yankees needed to make a trade and they were trying to offload
• 16:58
  some pitching, it would be the younger guys, the guys under
• 17:00
  control, the guys who are more flexible there.
• 17:02
  There's Cam Schlittler, Louise Heel, you know, Will Warren.
• 17:07
  I think that any one of those guys way more likely than seeing
• 17:11
  Carlos Rodon. No, I think Rodon stays in the
• 17:14
  Bronx, probably for his entire contractor.
• 17:16
  Brian, look at Jabba was trying to put his hat on his head, the
• 17:19
  hat that he used to wear that he's trying.
• 17:23
  His sweat and all the other well in my bald skillet right now.
• 17:26
  Like you can't get a hat on as good as.
• 17:28
  You stop, Jabba, your hair, your mug just got bigger.
• 17:31
  That's what it was. No, it's literally it's the same
• 17:35
  size. But when we when we, when you
• 17:38
  talk about pitchers, right? And it's so they moved Antonio
• 17:42
  Gomez from catcher to pitcher, right?
• 17:44
  And we're talking about prospects too.
• 17:47
  And, and what you brought up a little bit earlier and a guy
• 17:50
  that moved in, do they see like trading pieces?
• 17:53
  And obviously we talked about Jones, but then you got another
• 17:56
  guy in Carlos Grange and what he's done too.
• 17:59
  And there's leverage in that. And granted, there the farm
• 18:03
  system isn't is great, but they have great pieces to it.
• 18:07
  Are they willing? Like I know Cam's probably he
• 18:09
  he's proven that that his value because he's done it at the big
• 18:13
  league level. And when you you, you know this
• 18:16
  as well as I do. If you're going to make a trade
• 18:19
  to get prospects, you want a big league ready guy, sure.
• 18:23
  But if you're going to get a guy that you moved with the
• 18:26
  potential from catcher to like, let's lose Kenley for an
• 18:29
  example. He was a catcher and look what
• 18:33
  he's done. He he's going to.
• 18:34
  Work out pretty well. He wasn't.
• 18:36
  He was my catcher in Hawaii. Is that right?
• 18:38
  I didn't know that. Yeah, and he couldn't hit where
• 18:41
  the lick. Yeah, look how it turned out.
• 18:46
  But you move a guy like Gomez and don't know what you're
• 18:49
  really going to get because he's just, but he's throwing 100.
• 18:52
  And then you have Carlos who's done what he's done and have
• 18:55
  some good secondary stuff. Needs to be more efficient with
• 18:57
  it. And I loved watching his videos
• 18:59
  because stature, it plays, right?
• 19:01
  It plays. I like him a lot.
• 19:03
  I, I got to see him a little bit in spring training and that's
• 19:06
  legit. He's raw.
• 19:07
  He he's got to grow into his body a little bit, but the
• 19:10
  confidence is there, the swagger.
• 19:11
  I really like that kid. And I think that if he comes
• 19:14
  into spring training this year, he's going to open a lot of eyes
• 19:16
  and I think people are going to know his name.
• 19:18
  And are they, are they willing to even entertain that at that
• 19:21
  point or, or do they want to keep those, those aspects of
• 19:26
  what they kind of have now compared to like, because if you
• 19:30
  want to get better, you got to take a chance.
• 19:32
  And you've seen when we've been successful in this organization
• 19:36
  is you got to take chance of people like, and that's not
• 19:39
  through free agency because we've seen how that's worked and
• 19:43
  it has worked in some aspects. But when you create like
• 19:47
  dynasties and you create like what the concept of the team is
• 19:52
  and you've built them from there, like, do you think they
• 19:55
  would entertain any of those guys even being in the?
• 19:57
  Conversation. How many times did you get
• 20:00
  mentioned in trade rumors? Around 2. 1000.
• 20:03
  Every year. Yeah, exactly.
• 20:05
  So, yeah. Would they entertain it?
• 20:06
  Sure. But I also remember a certain
• 20:08
  guy came up in O 7 and was the most lights out reliever I've
• 20:12
  ever seen, and he was basically Joe Torry's cheat code.
• 20:14
  So that's what you could get with a guy like Carlos LaGrange.
• 20:18
  I I think that, yeah, you have to kind of weigh that and say,
• 20:21
  all right, he could bring back X or we can use him for our own
• 20:25
  purposes here. For a guy who's, I mean,
• 20:27
  everybody throws so hard now. So it's not to say a guy's
• 20:30
  throwing 98 is not really all that novel anymore, but I mean,
• 20:34
  it moves and it's legit. And he's got a different look.
• 20:36
  I can't really explain what it is, but when you see it, it's
• 20:40
  just like, oh, you, you pay attention because, I mean, you
• 20:43
  don't have spring training goes. You're seeing games with seven
• 20:45
  guys on the mound for each team, and it's like they all kind of
• 20:48
  blur together. He stood out.
• 20:50
  And so I want to see more of him.
• 20:51
  But you, you, you bring up something that that I've touched
• 20:54
  on all the time. I think analyticals are very
• 20:57
  important. But you covered me when it
• 21:00
  happened. And they put Jean Michael, they
• 21:05
  put Billy Eppler, Brian Cashman, Reggie Jackson, all these people
• 21:08
  to put eyes on what it is. You can see what it is.
• 21:12
  But you've covered baseball. And I don't give a damn what
• 21:16
  anybody says. Men and women that cover the
• 21:19
  game of baseball, they see things differently.
• 21:22
  And like, if you see something, you can't quantify what it is,
• 21:26
  but you see what it is. But if you don't put that and
• 21:29
  just rely on what what you think and you haven't been wrong very
• 21:34
  often. I'm wrong sometimes?
• 21:37
  Yeah, well, we all are. But when it comes to like
• 21:40
  certain things, like the eye on the prize of what you think they
• 21:45
  can do, how you seen things progress, it's do you want to
• 21:51
  give up on that or do you want to ride that out?
• 21:53
  And I think that's kind of where where you're looking at.
• 21:55
  It's like, do you want to give up on that or do you kind of
• 21:58
  want to build something going forward?
• 22:00
  Totally. I, I think that building from
• 22:02
  within is always what you want to do, especially when you have
• 22:04
  an owner who's talking about it would be ideal to lower payroll
• 22:07
  and he's uncomfortable being a 319 and blah, blah, blah, blah,
• 22:10
  blah. And we can talk about, you know,
• 22:12
  his statement about do the Yankees actually make a profit?
• 22:15
  If they don't, then I don't know what we're doing here.
• 22:17
  But I, I think that can they be a World Series team from
• 22:23
  building from within. I think some of these pieces
• 22:26
  actually can help them. And look, because I don't see
• 22:28
  them right now with the Dodgers. And I was on another show I
• 22:31
  think 2 days ago and they, they said, what's the one move the
• 22:34
  Yankees could make to, to make them a World Series championship
• 22:38
  team. And I, I look at this free agent
• 22:39
  market. I can't tell you I, I can't tell
• 22:41
  you that signing Cody Bellinger or Kyle Tucker makes them a
• 22:44
  World Series favorite because look how stacked that Dodger
• 22:47
  team is. First, the first thing first is
• 22:49
  I need to see them go head to head with the Blue Jays and take
• 22:51
  care of business because Toronto is better, Boston is getting
• 22:56
  better, Baltimore just signed Pete Alonso, they're getting
• 22:58
  better. So I mean, the AL East is always
• 23:01
  going to be really, really good. And the Yankees right now
• 23:03
  haven't done anything to improve themselves.
• 23:05
  So maybe one way that you can do that, if you got a kid with
• 23:08
  lightning in his arm like Carlos LaGrange out down there, maybe
• 23:11
  you don't have them on opening day, you get them on July,
• 23:14
  whatever. Maybe that makes a big
• 23:16
  difference for you in the Pennant race.
• 23:17
  Do you think? But you think they hold on to
• 23:19
  them too, and the same. And you know this as well as I
• 23:21
  do. Do you think they wait till that
• 23:24
  threshold where it starts his clock?
• 23:27
  That's always, it's always part of it, right?
• 23:29
  I mean, you always got to think about that.
• 23:31
  And that is, I mean, that's what they do behind the scenes and
• 23:34
  that's part of the calculation that goes on there.
• 23:36
  But I would I would just look at is the innings pitch for him and
• 23:38
  he's so raw like that. That was the one thing that I
• 23:42
  saw with him in spring training last year.
• 23:44
  And I'm sure you had a whole year of development time since
• 23:46
  then, but you could just tell there was lightning, there was
• 23:50
  Thunder in that arm. But he needed time to Polish.
• 23:53
  And and part of that is just facing hitters more and more.
• 23:55
  I mean, he he's a baby. And you, you get that when you
• 23:58
  talk to him. You get those kind of bright
• 23:59
  eyes and the wide eyes. I saw that from you.
• 24:02
  I think. Where are we?
• 24:03
  The Futures Game in San Francisco.
• 24:05
  Remember that? That was actually the first time
• 24:07
  I met you. And so, yeah, I remember coming
• 24:10
  away from that and being like that.
• 24:11
  Kids going to come to the big leagues one day and he's going
• 24:13
  to be something. We are.
• 24:14
  It was only a month and a half later.
• 24:17
  I didn't think you were coming up that soon, but I I said I'm
• 24:20
  going to watch you. We are talking to mlb.com's
• 24:24
  Yankee beat reporter and author of 62, Brian Hoke.
• 24:27
  Brian, I just want to say I I want to go through a couple of
• 24:30
  things and I don't want to keep you on too much longer there.
• 24:34
  There's two things that I really wanted to get into when you were
• 24:36
  at the Winter Meetings and the Mets decided to let Edwin Diaz
• 24:41
  go. Whatever was going on with the
• 24:43
  the Mets organization and the Pete Alonzo thing, him signing
• 24:46
  with the Orioles, Was there anything that happened after the
• 24:50
  fact where there were people wondering what the Mets were
• 24:54
  doing? Was there anything that you saw
• 24:56
  at the winter meetings that made you think, are the Mets actually
• 25:01
  doing the right thing for the organization?
• 25:02
  Was, did it make you think that they, that the, the Mets weren't
• 25:06
  in the same place or the same position that they've been in
• 25:09
  every single year with an owner that will spend money after
• 25:12
  money after money after money and just continuously throw
• 25:17
  money out there? And all of a sudden over the
• 25:19
  last, the last, I don't know, last couple of weeks decide to
• 25:24
  let their star pitcher, their star relief pitcher to go to
• 25:27
  the, the, the Dodgers. And it was the one weakness the
• 25:30
  Dodgers have. He goes over there and then Pete
• 25:32
  Alonso goes in the American League East to play with the
• 25:34
  Orioles. Was there anything that you saw
• 25:37
  that made you think that the Mets are just not in the same
• 25:40
  place they were over the last couple of years?
• 25:43
  I'll put it to you this way. What the Mets are to me right
• 25:46
  now is a beautiful mansion where the basement keeps flooding and
• 25:51
  and some at some point you just have to say we have to tear this
• 25:55
  down and we have to fix it and we have to fix the flood because
• 25:57
  it keeps coming. And so every year you look at it
• 26:00
  from afar and you say that should really be great that
• 26:03
  that's going to be, that is a beautiful house.
• 26:05
  And then every time it rains, it floods.
• 26:07
  And that's what you see with the the Mets.
• 26:09
  And so I think that they did definitely have some issues in
• 26:13
  their clubhouse. And you hear about the things
• 26:14
  going on between Lindor and Nimmo and you know, I think that
• 26:19
  Diaz, I mean, why are these guys not trying to come back?
• 26:22
  And so I think it makes you question what exactly is going
• 26:26
  on behind closed doors with the Mets.
• 26:28
  And maybe they need change the scenery guys.
• 26:30
  And maybe there's a reason they keep poaching players from the
• 26:33
  Yankees who have been through New York and and can handle the
• 26:36
  spotlight there. And they're trying to bring in
• 26:38
  some more of that kind of attitude.
• 26:40
  And I don't want to say it's all one sided because the the
• 26:42
  Yankees have been picking up Met guys too.
• 26:45
  One of their signings this offseason is I'm Ed Rosario, who
• 26:48
  played across town. So I think it goes both ways.
• 26:50
  I think that when you're GM of a New York team, if a guy has
• 26:54
  played in a major market, if he's played in Chicago, LA, New
• 26:58
  York, I think that kind of carries a little extra weight
• 27:01
  for you. And that's brings me right back
• 27:03
  to Cody Bellinger, who has played in all three of those.
• 27:05
  So there's a ton of teams that I think would be interested in a
• 27:09
  player like that because he's proven himself on a big stage.
• 27:12
  And so I just feel like with the Mets, yeah, you got unlimited
• 27:15
  funds. You can go get pretty much
• 27:17
  anybody you want, but it hasn't worked out yet.
• 27:20
  And I know Steve Cohen wants to and intends to bring a World
• 27:24
  Series championship to New York. He just got his big casino deal
• 27:27
  right next to City Field. So that he's trying to make that
• 27:29
  a destination where the the chop chops were and all that.
• 27:33
  And so we'll see. We'll see.
• 27:35
  I mean, but I think what it does prove more than anything is you
• 27:38
  can't just throw your wallet at it.
• 27:39
  And that's takes me back to what the Yankees been doing for
• 27:42
  almost 20 years now is they've been spending a lot of money
• 27:45
  with not a lot to show for it. And I mean, they make the
• 27:47
  playoffs all the time, but they haven't been able to get that
• 27:50
  title. And I think that it proves that
• 27:52
  it's just not as easy as you think it's going to be.
• 27:54
  Jeff Kent, he's inducted to the Hall of Fame.
• 27:56
  Well deserved. Don Mattingly is a guy that I
• 28:00
  absolutely adore, is my favorite player growing up.
• 28:02
  Jabba knows that. Everybody that listens to the
• 28:04
  show knows that. Don Mattingly.
• 28:06
  I believe Don Manley should have been in the Hall of Fame a long
• 28:08
  time ago. He's obviously not.
• 28:11
  And now he has to wait until 2028 to possibly be inducted to
• 28:15
  the Hall of Fame. And also, Keith Hernandez should
• 28:19
  be in the Hall of Fame, one of the greatest first defensive
• 28:21
  first baseman of all time. Do you think at any point of the
• 28:25
  next 15 years, both these guys are going to see the Hall of
• 28:28
  Fame? We're talking about Mattingly
• 28:31
  and Hernandez. Hernandez, yes.
• 28:34
  I got to say I was actually on duty for the the announcement on
• 28:39
  Sunday and I had about 750 words ready to go.
• 28:42
  Donnie Baseball, he's in the Hall of Fame and here it is and
• 28:44
  XYZ and here's his whole career. And so I was as surprised as
• 28:48
  anybody. I thought Mattingly was going to
• 28:50
  get in. I thought maybe Jill Murphy
• 28:51
  would get in out of that group. And so I did not have Jeff Kent
• 28:55
  on my radar. And I don't have an argument
• 28:57
  with Jeff Kent. Great power hitting second
• 28:59
  baseman, more home runs than any other second baseman.
• 29:02
  But yeah, Donnie baseball, I mean, that peak from 1984 to
• 29:06
  1989, that was just, I mean, he was the best player in the game.
• 29:09
  And so I think that it deserves another look.
• 29:13
  I'm surprised he didn't get as much support as he did.
• 29:16
  But I also put it to, I put it this way, if you ran for mayor
• 29:20
  of your town now 14 times and you didn't get elected mayor 14
• 29:24
  times, maybe you're just not going to be the mayor.
• 29:26
  Maybe that's just not going to be it.
• 29:28
  And so I think that I'm sure Donnie has had that thought.
• 29:32
  I'm sure he's disappointed. A lot of fans are.
• 29:35
  But I think that also you have to be realistic and say if it
• 29:38
  doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
• 29:40
  And he's in Monument Park. He's a great Yankee.
• 29:42
  It doesn't take away anything that it did.
• 29:44
  Would it be awesome and would the Hall of Fame be a better
• 29:46
  place if Don Mattingly was in it?
• 29:48
  I think so. I I think having him as a
• 29:50
  representative would be great for the Hall, but not up to me.
• 29:53
  And so, yeah, I think that you got to be realistic.
• 29:57
  It's your. First vote this.
• 29:59
  Year. What's that?
• 30:00
  You got your first vote this year.
• 30:02
  I do, yeah. And who would you vote for Java?
• 30:07
  And no, and, and I first of all, that'll never happen to me.
• 30:11
  But in, in, I've known you for a long time and we've gotten to
• 30:15
  know each other on a different level and which I'm very
• 30:18
  thankful for. And I know you take pride.
• 30:22
  Buttering me up for that beef jerky, man.
• 30:25
  Well, I'm going to get it either way, Dang it.
• 30:28
  But and I, I know what that means to you, because at the end
• 30:31
  of the day, it's, it's, it's what we stand for.
• 30:33
  It's like you work hard for it, but you also care about it,
• 30:36
  like, and you care about like what is better for the game
• 30:40
  because so one thing we've talked about when you've had to
• 30:43
  cover bad stories of me and, and it's like, I didn't want to do
• 30:47
  it, but it's like, I've got to be the best at what I can do,
• 30:49
  right? And, and for me and the guys
• 30:53
  that we've obviously been encountering with that, that we
• 30:56
  are still great friends with that I'm always been honest with
• 30:59
  you guys. And, and that's the one thing
• 31:03
  where like I've always loved you because it's like you care about
• 31:08
  the game. This isn't about you.
• 31:10
  And it's like, I, I'm going to do what I think is right.
• 31:13
  Obviously, you never played the game at that level, which that
• 31:18
  is neither here nor there, but you are somebody that is valued
• 31:21
  in this game more than you realize.
• 31:25
  And when you get that vote and when you say it to that extent
• 31:29
  and and like how much that means to you when you got when you got
• 31:32
  that. And it's like when we get that
• 31:35
  phone call, right? When we get that phone call to
• 31:37
  get to the big leagues. And you've done this a long
• 31:40
  time. But when you've earned that
• 31:43
  right to have that vote, like, what does that mean to you in
• 31:47
  your career? Oh man.
• 31:49
  Well, first of all, thank you. I appreciate it.
• 31:52
  And you know, what we appreciated with you, Jabba, was
• 31:55
  always that you were a stand up guy.
• 31:56
  I mean, when it was good, when it was bad, I mean that that's
• 31:58
  really all we ask is just be accountable.
• 32:01
  And so you were always that and you you said what was on your
• 32:05
  mind and you didn't hide things, you didn't lie.
• 32:07
  And I mean, we, we appreciated it.
• 32:10
  I mean, that's you know, so I mean, no, there's no rule that
• 32:13
  says you got to stand at your locker and and talk to the ten
• 32:16
  of us after a game or whatever, but we appreciated that you did
• 32:18
  it. And so as far as getting that,
• 32:22
  yeah, it was cool. It was great.
• 32:24
  I mean, it's something that I never dreamed of.
• 32:26
  I grew up loving baseball, you know, since I was 7-8 years old.
• 32:29
  And you know, I didn't, I never thought I was going to play in
• 32:32
  the big leagues. And you know, I hoped I would be
• 32:34
  able to get into a press box 1 day and write about it and tell,
• 32:37
  tell your story and tell other guys stories.
• 32:39
  And so I hope I did that well over my time.
• 32:42
  And I'm still going. So I'm not retiring or anything.
• 32:45
  And so, but it is cool to know that I, I feel like it is a
• 32:49
  badge of honor. It is just to be able to, you
• 32:53
  know, just because my say doesn't mean everything.
• 32:57
  I mean, there's 405 hundred people voting, but to just have
• 33:00
  a little piece of it and to put my like finger on the scale and
• 33:04
  say. Will you post yours?
• 33:06
  Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it.
• 33:07
  I'm not ready yet. I I think I'm ready in my mind,
• 33:10
  but I haven't sent it. And so I will.
• 33:13
  But yeah, I think it's an interesting ballot.
• 33:16
  It is. And so I I'll give you a sneak
• 33:19
  peek is that I always said before I got my vote, I said I
• 33:23
  would have voted for Barry Bonds.
• 33:24
  I would have voted for Rodger Clemens.
• 33:26
  So I think you can kind of make a connection that a rod will get
• 33:30
  a yes on my my ballot. Manny will too, because I think
• 33:32
  that the cats out, you know, I I think that the door is open
• 33:38
  already and so I think there's already guys in there who
• 33:41
  probably did a thing or two also.
• 33:43
  So I don't, I, I have an idea of where I'm going with it, but
• 33:47
  I'll I'll definitely give you more detail when it when it goes
• 33:50
  in the mail my. My last question, I want to
• 33:52
  mention it because I've, I've been in the Baseball Hall of
• 33:54
  Fame and it was so elaborate because of its history.
• 33:56
  There, you've been in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
• 33:59
  I know what. Visited there 13.
• 34:00
  Years OK Visit OK. I went there and like, because
• 34:03
  it closed early, I couldn't even finish it because baseball is
• 34:05
  such an elaborate history too. And you you would think in like
• 34:08
  a sport of controversy, like they would want to embrace it
• 34:10
  more. We talked about it last year
• 34:11
  when Pete Rose passed away, like he never got in.
• 34:13
  And then he gets in on the senior ballot.
• 34:14
  And even going before that too, with guys like Shoeless Joe
• 34:17
  Jackson, some of those controversies you saw throughout
• 34:19
  history and you just mentioned it with Barry Bonds.
• 34:21
  It was steroids. Like it like he's probably a
• 34:23
  Hall of Famer with he's definitely a Hall of Famer
• 34:25
  without steroids and seven. 160 two home runs.
• 34:28
  Yeah, he better be. Yeah, and even before steroids.
• 34:30
  He had Pittsburgh Barry Bonds. Stolen base and stuff like that
• 34:33
  too. So, like, do you think the sport
• 34:35
  and like the Hall of Fame is just trying to avoid the
• 34:37
  controversy or does it sound like it's more hypocritical?
• 34:40
  Well, no, I mean, in Bond's case, he was on the ballot for
• 34:43
  10 years. It was the writers who didn't
• 34:44
  put him in. And now you have that other
• 34:47
  committee that did not select him and Clemens.
• 34:49
  So I think that there's a lot of old school people still.
• 34:54
  I think that the voting contingent is getting younger.
• 34:57
  I can, I can definitely say that.
• 34:59
  And that I think I know there's a new influx of people because
• 35:02
  the reason I didn't have a vote until now, there was a rule you
• 35:06
  had to cover baseball for 10 years.
• 35:08
  And as Java knows, I started covering the Yankees in O 7.
• 35:11
  So if you do the math, wait, it's 2017.
• 35:14
  But they didn't let Internet people in until 2015.
• 35:18
  And so we were thought of as less than, you know, back when
• 35:21
  the Internet was a fad, I guess that they weren't sure was going
• 35:25
  to take off. So anyway, it took until 2015.
• 35:28
  Things move slowly in baseball. And so.
• 35:31
  So yeah, I definitely put in more than 10 years to waiting
• 35:34
  for it. But it was good to get finally
• 35:37
  get that in the mail. Do you think they'll be though
• 35:39
  on, on the same, same realm of, of like now when it changed to
• 35:44
  that 10 year mark of, of actually covering it And then
• 35:47
  when they moved from like the media side to actually like you
• 35:50
  guys are valued in what you do. Do you think there should be a,
• 35:56
  a caveat to that to where you have like obviously the MVP, but
• 36:01
  you have like the player's choice MVP and you have, do you
• 36:04
  think retired players in that have played against these guys?
• 36:09
  Do you think there should be value in, in their opinion or
• 36:12
  their vote as well? And where do you think that fits
• 36:15
  into the Hall of Fame committee? I I, yeah, I'm fine with that.
• 36:20
  I mean, the idea that, for example, a Joe Torry doesn't
• 36:25
  have a say in Hall of Fame voting.
• 36:27
  I I mean, I know he's been on a couple of those veteran
• 36:30
  committees, but I'm OK with the idea of a revamp.
• 36:34
  I think. Yeah, so much of it is, well,
• 36:38
  this is the way it's always been done.
• 36:39
  And so this is how it's going to be done going forward.
• 36:42
  And that's fine, but it's also stagnant.
• 36:44
  And so, you know, just because the Hall of Fame was founded in
• 36:47
  1930s and the baseball writers were the most knowledgeable
• 36:52
  people at that time, the world's changed a lot since the 1930s.
• 36:55
  I mean, how many people still pick up a physical newspaper?
• 36:58
  I'm sorry to say, but it's not that many.
• 37:00
  And so I think that media has changed, the world has changed.
• 37:05
  And so at some point, that's probably going to happen.
• 37:09
  I think I, I know that, look, the Hall of Fame is all about
• 37:13
  tradition and, you know, honoring history.
• 37:15
  And, but I think that it's silly to say that you couldn't have
• 37:19
  input from a Joe Torre or when he was alive, a Vin Scully or
• 37:23
  somebody like that, that they wouldn't have something
• 37:26
  interesting or, or valid to say about who should or should not
• 37:29
  be in the Hall of Fame. So I, I say Susan Waldman is a
• 37:33
  perfect example. You're going to tell me that I
• 37:36
  know more baseball and Susan, I don't, I really don't.
• 37:38
  And so I think that if you were going to have any of these
• 37:43
  people be able to weigh in, if you put in a certain number of
• 37:47
  time or certain amount of years around the game and in it, then
• 37:50
  you should absolutely have a say in the Hall of Fame because it's
• 37:53
  a place, it's a museum that honors the game's history.
• 37:57
  And so you should have as many people who know the history and
• 38:01
  value it as you can. Brian, before we let you go, I
• 38:04
  have one more question to ask you.
• 38:05
  The Yankees right now is sitting and they're waiting.
• 38:09
  If you were the Yankees GM right now or you're the the back end
• 38:13
  guy that has the informed information behind.
• 38:16
  This I quit. I don't want the job.
• 38:18
  I quit right now. I turn in my resignation.
• 38:22
  I say, Hal, see you. I'm out.
• 38:24
  What do you think the Yankees are going to do?
• 38:29
  I think they are going to come in with a very strong offer to
• 38:33
  get Cody Bellinger. I think it's probably not going
• 38:36
  to be enough. I think he's going to get more
• 38:38
  years and more dollars elsewhere.
• 38:39
  And then I think they're going to pivot to pitching.
• 38:41
  They're going to try to bring in EMI.
• 38:43
  I don't know if they're going to be the high bid on that.
• 38:45
  The problem with it is seems like he's going to be pretty
• 38:48
  secretive and he's another Boris guy and they haven't had great
• 38:52
  success in the Japanese market. So then you move to maybe your
• 38:55
  next one on the list, Michael King.
• 38:57
  That's an interesting one to me. I think that there is a real
• 39:00
  chance they wind up with Michael King because it's a double
• 39:04
  whammy. You bring back a guy who you
• 39:06
  didn't really want to trade in the 1st place.
• 39:07
  You gave them up to get to Juan Soto who got you to a World
• 39:10
  Series. So you do that 10 times out of
• 39:12
  10. But a chance to bring back a guy
• 39:14
  who everybody in organization loves and you keep them away
• 39:17
  from other teams in your division.
• 39:19
  I can see them going that way and just try and build what
• 39:22
  could be the best rotation in baseball or certainly in the
• 39:24
  American League. Very interesting.
• 39:26
  Well, Bryant, I know you're a busy guy.
• 39:29
  I know you got a wife, you got a bunch of kids, so.
• 39:32
  I do. Oh, where is she?
• 39:34
  Oh yeah, right. You're traveling, but you're
• 39:38
  obviously back in spring training is around the corner.
• 39:41
  What do we have a couple of months and we're going to be
• 39:43
  talking about spring training. We're going to be talking about
• 39:45
  the season. Hopefully the Yankees do spend
• 39:48
  money because Hal is complaining and crying as we all expected
• 39:52
  him to do. And and Steve, Uncle Stevie, a
• 39:55
  lot of met fans are pissed off because they believe the only
• 39:58
  reason why Uncle Stevie bought the team was because he wanted
• 40:01
  that casino. He got what he wanted.
• 40:03
  And now all of a sudden he let Pete Alonzo gone.
• 40:05
  He let he's Edwin Diaz go and and it seems like he's sitting.
• 40:10
  With the team that he has, we'll see what the Mets do, but it was
• 40:13
  shocking that they let Pete Alonzo go.
• 40:16
  It was even more shocking that Edwin Diaz went to the Dodgers
• 40:20
  and now is sitting pretty with the one position, the one
• 40:24
  situation that the the Dodgers were so bad in back and forth
• 40:29
  all season long. And now they got the best closer
• 40:31
  in baseball. They have the best one of the
• 40:33
  best rotations in baseball and they probably have the best
• 40:36
  lineup in the last 25 years. So I, I don't know.
• 40:39
  I, I, I can't, I have nothing to say more but expect the Dodgers
• 40:44
  to win another World Series this year.
• 40:46
  A3 peat. So I don't, I don't think
• 40:48
  anybody is going to argue. That I think.
• 40:51
  They can be what do you think? Like now that they brought Devin
• 40:56
  over when maybe they thought they were going to have Edwin
• 40:59
  and now he's going to have the same controversy on the other
• 41:03
  side of the fence. Even though like, like you said
• 41:06
  earlier, it's like these big market guys that have been there
• 41:09
  before. Now he's going to be the end all
• 41:11
  the meets, all because who else are you going to bring, Speedy?
• 41:14
  You you know this as well I do as a Mets fan.
• 41:17
  Where do you go after Devin Williams, Luke?
• 41:19
  Weaver, of course. Isn't that where Aaron Boone
• 41:21
  went? Yeah, great.
• 41:24
  You know, that's a perfect last name for him.
• 41:26
  Let's weave out of something else.
• 41:29
  So I, I don't know, I, I think it's.
• 41:32
  Brian, the last Cardinals relief pitcher they tried to trade for,
• 41:35
  was an abject disaster. And Luke Weaver couldn't.
• 41:38
  Yeah, I did not. And you know what?
• 41:39
  I was wrong on that one, too, Jabba, There's one.
• 41:41
  I was wrong. And I said Ryan Helsley would be
• 41:43
  a great fit for the Yankees bullpen.
• 41:46
  I didn't know that they were going to go get David Bednar.
• 41:48
  I thought Helsley was the guy to go get.
• 41:50
  And look I I was wrong on that. Hey, B, remember, Remember Sean
• 41:55
  Kelly? Sure, look at Sean Kelly and
• 41:59
  David Bednar. Look at their profile pictures.
• 42:02
  They are I I literally when when they signed Bednar, I text Sean
• 42:07
  and I'm like, that's you in a different way.
• 42:09
  And then everybody's like ocean and everything.
• 42:11
  And it's like we've had this conversation plenty of times.
• 42:14
  What do they want? They they want personality on
• 42:17
  the back end of what it is. And they got what is successful
• 42:21
  because they were so spoiled with MO for so long.
• 42:25
  And then I came in and then they had Chapman, then they had D Rob
• 42:29
  and they had all those guys. And now they have somebody back
• 42:31
  in that has what the team didn't have right.
• 42:35
  And now at the back end of scene, like, and I love watching
• 42:38
  him because at the end of the day that they try to take
• 42:41
  emotion away from me. And now it's like they try to
• 42:44
  generate it with it and they're trying to bring it back because
• 42:48
  obviously in your captain, Aaron is is Aaron.
• 42:51
  And we're not going to take anything away from him because
• 42:53
  he's one of the greatest players in the game right now.
• 42:55
  But also he's not an emotional guy.
• 42:57
  Derek never was, Donnie Baseball never was.
• 43:00
  But you had to have those guys and what you said earlier and
• 43:03
  bring in that dynamic of a swish and why you like jazz, because
• 43:06
  you have to have that in a clubhouse to win.
• 43:08
  You have to have it. And what they have right now is
• 43:12
  is showing the fact that it takes more than just one or two
• 43:16
  things to make the piece of the puzzle work.
• 43:18
  And if you want to get to where you're at, you're going to have
• 43:20
  to figure out what that is. And I think that's kind of where
• 43:24
  they lack. That's why I asked earlier, like
• 43:26
  putting eyes on the prize of not only let's see not only what's
• 43:30
  best on the field, but let's see what's best for our clubhouse.
• 43:33
  Right now. Yeah.
• 43:35
  And I think that's some some things that they lack in the
• 43:37
  front office because they just look at numbers so much.
• 43:40
  I think it's interesting you bring that up because I think
• 43:43
  you at age 25, you might have had more fun with this team
• 43:47
  right now because they would have let you be yourself and
• 43:51
  they wouldn't have tried to tell you stop pumping your fist when
• 43:53
  you come off the mound. And, and so I think that's an
• 43:55
  interesting thought. I hadn't actually thought about
• 43:57
  that, but, you know, I, I don't know if that would have helped
• 44:00
  your performance or not. I don't know if that makes you
• 44:02
  better or worse, but I, I think you would have enjoyed it a
• 44:05
  little bit more in this current environment because I think it
• 44:08
  it is a little looser and it's a they, they let you be who you
• 44:11
  are. And today's athletes are just
• 44:13
  different across the board anyway.
• 44:14
  I mean, you know, I think that the, the things these guys do
• 44:18
  away from the field, I mean, they play video games.
• 44:20
  They, they don't go out clubbing and go to bars and stuff like
• 44:23
  that. I mean, it's just a different
• 44:24
  time in baseball. And so, yeah, I don't know, I, I
• 44:27
  think it would have been interesting to see what a 25
• 44:30
  year old Jabba would do in 2025. Ryan There is no clubs, There is
• 44:34
  no bars. Well, there are bars, but there,
• 44:36
  there are no clubs anymore. Nightclubs there?
• 44:39
  Really. Is no, doesn't exist, right?
• 44:41
  It's weird. And maybe social medias is part
• 44:43
  of that. I'm sure it is.
• 44:44
  You know, guys don't want to be on display.
• 44:46
  And you know, you know, Aaron Judge can't go out to Starbucks,
• 44:49
  let alone to go out to a nightclub and, you know, do
• 44:52
  whatever Derek Jeter was doing at the the China Club in the
• 44:55
  90s. It's just a different world.
• 44:56
  You can't do it. He's 69 and 280 lbs and he's
• 45:00
  built like a brick. So if he walks through the door,
• 45:02
  you know, it's, you know, we know it's Aaron Judge.
• 45:05
  It's like Mike Trout. If he was walking in New York
• 45:07
  City and he was wearing just a normal hat and a Jean jacket,
• 45:11
  you would not know it's Mike Trout.
• 45:13
  But Aaron Judge, I mean, as soon as he walks into a building,
• 45:16
  it's like Shaquille O'Neal. He walks into a bookstore, you
• 45:19
  know, it's Shaq. It's 7 foot two big man walking
• 45:23
  around weighing 300 lbs. So it's.
• 45:25
  Hard to miss. It's hard to miss, but Brian,
• 45:28
  we, we love you. We'd love to get you on probably
• 45:32
  when the preseason starts or a little bit before that so we can
• 45:35
  talk about what the Yankees didn't do and what the Yankees
• 45:37
  should have done. And where do we see the Yankees
• 45:40
  this year? But I expect the Yankees
• 45:43
  rotation to be great. Garrick Cole will be back one
• 45:45
  way or another this year. And you have Schlittler.
• 45:48
  I mean, this is a good rotation. And, and again, there's a guy in
• 45:52
  Pittsburgh that already said he wants to be in pinch drives one
• 45:54
  way or another. So we'll see what?
• 45:56
  Happens. Did he say that exactly?
• 45:57
  Are we sure about that? Everything.
• 45:59
  Was a little a. Little bit of fake news on that
• 46:01
  one. He's making assumptions.
• 46:03
  I'm. Just making assumptions.
• 46:04
  Hopefully it'll stick to the wall.
• 46:06
  I'll tell you what, let me tell you about Paul Skeens though,
• 46:08
  because and you talk about having cojones.
• 46:11
  So he came to the BBWA dinner in January to pick up his Rookie of
• 46:16
  the Year award, and he gave a great speech.
• 46:19
  And Libby Dunn was there and it was great.
• 46:21
  And he said at the end of his speech, he said, I'll be back
• 46:24
  next year to pick up the Cy Young.
• 46:26
  And I said, OK, all right, we'll see.
• 46:29
  And damn if he didn't back it up.
• 46:30
  And guess where he'll be in late January to pick up his Cy Young
• 46:34
  Award in New York. So pretty cool.
• 46:36
  Pretty cool to see a guy just throw it out there on the table
• 46:39
  and like, yeah, I'm great. And you're all going to eat it.
• 46:42
  Well, it's nice to watch him win all the awards, but I actually
• 46:46
  like looking at the woman he's dating too, so she's.
• 46:49
  A lovely lady and she was very nice.
• 46:51
  She met my daughters and she's awesome.
• 46:54
  She looks like a nice girl and she's a beautiful woman.
• 46:56
  And Paul Skeens is a very. But also be at the same time
• 47:00
  like he understands where he's at in Pittsburgh.
• 47:04
  Is is winning valued? And like I and everybody I've
• 47:07
  talked to said he's obviously a great human and the things that
• 47:11
  he does, you know, for our troops and the fact that we're
• 47:13
  free to do what what we do. But really like when it comes
• 47:18
  down to it, like is, is winning a thing?
• 47:20
  I'll never forget when Moose retired in O 8 and I get a phone
• 47:25
  call when I was struggling early to start and he's like, do I
• 47:29
  have to come back to to save your ass?
• 47:31
  And I'm like, maybe I don't know, like, what what the hell
• 47:36
  is going on? I have, I have no idea.
• 47:38
  Like, what am I? What am I to say to you?
• 47:40
  Like you're you're a Hall of Famer?
• 47:41
  Like, I don't, I don't know. But what does he want to win?
• 47:47
  Right well, first of all, I wish we had that moose story for the
• 47:50
  book because that would have been good.
• 47:51
  We could have worked that in for sure.
• 47:54
  Does he want to? Of course he has to win any
• 47:55
  questions you. Didn't ask me that one, sorry.
• 47:58
  I didn't know Mike Mussina called you early in the season
• 48:01
  and tried to bail you out. I wish I did.
• 48:04
  Does he want to win? Of course he didn't.
• 48:05
  He talked about that. He said that he's won at every
• 48:08
  level. He won in the military in
• 48:10
  college. And this is the first time he's
• 48:13
  experienced losing. And he doesn't like it.
• 48:14
  But, I mean, that's the reality of where he is.
• 48:17
  That's why he got to the Pirates, right?
• 48:18
  Because he was a high draft pick.
• 48:20
  He was a 11. And yeah, I think that, you know
• 48:23
  what the situation is in Pittsburgh.
• 48:25
  It's been that way for a long time, and I don't know when it's
• 48:28
  going to get better. And so, yeah, I think that if
• 48:31
  you being realistic, of course he wants to win a championship.
• 48:34
  So yeah, you would have to have one eye on the outside world and
• 48:37
  say, all right, I'm putting in my time here and if this doesn't
• 48:40
  get better by a certain date, I'm out.
• 48:43
  So he was playing, he was playing two ways and we'll let
• 48:45
  you go after this, playing two ways at Air Force and he won
• 48:49
  Player of the Year award. What was the what was the name
• 48:51
  of that player that he won? I don't know, was it the show?
• 48:54
  Hey, Tony Award. Well.
• 48:57
  It's years before that. Yeah, yeah, I know.
• 49:00
  Babe Ruth, the John Ullerood award.
• 49:02
  No way really for a two way player, huh?
• 49:07
  Yep, how about that? Should have put it I covered on
• 49:09
  all the route with the Mets. That's how old I am.
• 49:12
  I'm feeding you knowledge like now.
• 49:14
  Now that I'm done like I, I get time to.
• 49:17
  Wait a second, wait a SEC. Feeding him knowledge.
• 49:19
  I mean, was that in the book? Or are you telling him that
• 49:21
  you're one of the smartest baseball players of all time?
• 49:24
  I'm one of the stupidest, I just happen to be dumb enough to be
• 49:27
  good at something. He's got all the sports on
• 49:31
  Michael Barrett though, how many pitchers he hit in his.
• 49:33
  Career Well, I. Mean.
• 49:35
  Yeah, because I've what's thing called the Internet.
• 49:38
  Google it AI baby Chad GBT anyways as.
• 49:43
  New careful Chad GBT It can make mistakes, it tells you that.
• 49:47
  Well, Nick Goody is the king of using Chad GBT and we love A
• 49:52
  shout out to Nick Goody. I know he's been working and I
• 49:55
  know he's been wanting to come on the show.
• 49:56
  But Brian, we love you. Keep up the good work and we'll
• 50:00
  talk to you soon buddy. You got it guys.
• 50:01
  See you. Thanks for having me.
• 50:03
  Absolutely. Brian Hoch and and again, I, I
• 50:07
  want to say something and I want to give a shout out to our boy,
• 50:10
  the one and only Fish and I, I let Speedy Speedy, you're the
• 50:13
  one who typed it up and all that other stuff.
• 50:15
  I'll let you do the sports minute because I had no idea.
• 50:17
  I didn't think Jabba. He gives me like this huge like
• 50:21
  sheet paragraph and I'm reading it.
• 50:23
  I'm like, during the whole thing, I thought it was going to
• 50:25
  be like he was going to cut it down, slice it up because I know
• 50:28
  Fish puts it together before the show and he reads it over and
• 50:31
  over and over again. And he said, oh, I'm not going
• 50:33
  to be here. I'm going to cut it down for
• 50:34
  errors. So I'll make it easy for him.
• 50:36
  Dude. He gave me a whole like 2 pages
• 50:38
  worth of reading off a sportsman.
• 50:41
  And I'm like, I'm looking at it and I'm like, I just got off of
• 50:44
  being vertigoed. I mean, my eyes were, you know,
• 50:47
  I finally came out of it and I'm reading and I'm like, holy crap,
• 50:51
  I got to read this. So yeah.
• 50:54
  So Speedy will be doing the sports minute, but we got more
• 50:57
  segments to go. We got save your tears Mom.
• 51:01
  What's one thing? That you can't talk to me about.
• 51:04
  My sexual fantasies. No, no say your sorry.
• 51:09
  It's not ideal, but if it's what means it is not ideal.
• 51:12
  But if it's just not ideal. But if it is, what means?
• 51:15
  You can't treble stamp a double. Stamp.
• 51:16
  You can't treble stamp a double stamp Lloyd.
• 51:18
  You can't dribble stamp with double stamp, Lloyd.

  I will take. I'll take Swift for three.
• 54:30
  I'll take CD Lamb. I will take.
• 54:34
  I got 35 left, so I will take Moore and Gadson.
• 54:42
  All right, Jabba. I'm gonna take Herbert with you,
• 54:49
  then I'm gonna take DeAndre Swift.
• 54:52
  Thickness. Then I'm gonna go McMillan.
• 54:56
  Again, I'm anal. That gives me 6 left.
• 55:00
  Core bag. Then I'm gonna go and he.
• 55:06
  Buffed everything out. Of Chris Godwin and then Colin
• 55:10
  Loveland all. Right.
• 55:13
  So same same first two as me, Herbert, Swift, McMillan that
• 55:18
  makes 9, Godwin 11 and Loveland at 15 and Errol the round it
• 55:23
  out. All right, who's Baker playing
• 55:24
  Caroline Carolina. All right, I'm going to go.
• 55:26
  It's going to be a big week for the Bake man.
• 55:28
  I'm going to go with Baker Mayfield.
• 55:32
  I'm going to go definitely going with CD Lamb.
• 55:39
  Actually, I don't want to go with CD Lamb because I hope he
• 55:41
  doesn't play well because I'm playing you.
• 55:42
  And I also have Baker too, so. I I'm not going with CD Lambert.
• 55:46
  I'm going for the reverse jinx. I don't want, I don't want to go
• 55:49
  with him. I'm going to go with McMillan.
• 55:51
  I'm going to go with Mike Evans because I think he's going to
• 55:54
  have a big day. How many points do I?
• 55:56
  Have So you're keeping Baker? I'm keeping Baker.
• 55:58
  OK, so that's 10 right now running back and tight end as
• 56:02
  you got left, you got 5 all. Right.
• 56:07
  I'm going to go. I'm going to go with Dowdle and
• 56:10
  how many points. Got 3 left.
• 56:12
  All right, I'll go with. I guess I'm going with K dot.
• 56:18
  All right. Gatson's my tight end.
• 56:20
  Sorry. This week.
• 56:21
  It's interesting. I have Baker and CD Lim and
• 56:24
  Gatson against you on this board, but you're boarded.
• 56:27
  Baker, your board is Dowdle, your board is McMillan, Mike
• 56:33
  Evans and K dot, one of each number to go with.
• 56:36
  There you go. I think it's great.
• 56:38
  And throw you a bone, if you know what I mean.
• 56:41
  You got to put your tongue on something.
• 56:42
  Somebody's got to put a tongue on something.
• 56:44
  And hopefully you don't put your tongue on the old Nith.
• 56:48
  No, I will definitely never do that.
• 56:49
  And by the way, you know. Ball bag.
• 56:52
  Somebody is not playing with Nathan's ball bag tonight and
• 56:56
  it's definitely not going to be Jabba.
• 56:58
  Jabba doesn't. Play ball bags, he's saying.
• 57:00
  The only ball bag Jabba's going to be playing with is the one in
• 57:04
  his glove, right Java? That's why I said it.
• 57:12
  That's why I. Think Java's going to sign a
• 57:15
  minor league deal with the Yankees?
• 57:16
  Invite with you spring training. I like Angel.
• 57:19
  Hey, did you not see the Rich Eisen Show retweets?
• 57:22
  And Jet today was kind of funny. Java takes it up the ass.
• 57:29
  Hey only only during my life insurance policy where I take
• 57:33
  Ram Jam all. Right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 57:40
  that was the your very first savior tears without the
• 57:44
  Fishman, but. Where's the Fishman, by the way?
• 57:47
  So. Fish is dealing with family
• 57:49
  stuff. His dog.
• 57:51
  His dog is very sick. He had to rush him to the
• 57:55
  hospital and the doggy hospital. Hopefully his dog is doing well.
• 58:01
  I know it's fish is his dog is. His dogs are his, you know, his
• 58:07
  kids and yeah, him and his wife are, you know, they ran to the
• 58:11
  hospital. His dog ate cookies, chocolate
• 58:14
  chip cookies. Oh.
• 58:15
  My God. And you know, if anybody knows
• 58:18
  or doesn't know that you dogs are not allowed to eat
• 58:21
  chocolate. So he rushed the dog to the
• 58:25
  hospital. Hopefully the dog is doing
• 58:27
  better. My heart goes out to the family.
• 58:29
  Hopefully everything is OK. I don't Fish wanted to be here.
• 58:32
  So for all the fans that were expecting Fish to be here, don't
• 58:37
  worry, you still got me and you got job and.
• 58:40
  Now you got Nathan. Put put a mob.
• 58:46
  Goody has no woody. Or my favorite.
• 58:49
  One I love Lisa Ann or. This.
• 58:52
  One breaking news, I need Brittany also.
• 58:56
  Yeah, you want to jerk me off or I got to go back off now.
• 58:59
  Which he probably does every single night job.
• 59:02
  Anyways, that was save your tears.
• 59:06
  Now, ladies and gentlemen, we've got Speedy's 6 Pack of the Week.
• 59:12
  Let's have a sixer. Hey, who wants to play Drink the
• 59:15
  Beer? It's time for the Speedy 6 pack
• 59:18
  of the Way Oh. That's a nice loud burp.
• 59:23
  Goody. Has no woody.
• 59:25
  All right, so we're still waiting on Wes, He said he
• 59:28
  should be able to come in in a bit, but we'll start with the
• 59:31
  prime time game because we'll wait on Wesley.
• 59:33
  I know he doesn't like the prime time games.
• 59:35
  We'll go to the Patriots at the Ravens to start.
• 59:38
  Glory hole. The Ravens are 3 1/2 point
• 59:40
  favourites at home and I will take them in this spot.
• 59:42
  I think it's a desperation game for them.
• 59:45
  The Steelers won last week, so they're trying to just keep pace
• 59:47
  in the division. I think the Ravens defense has
• 59:50
  played a little better in the second-half of the season and I
• 59:52
  think the Patriots will be or the Ravens will be able to stop
• 59:55
  the run unlike. Like a serial killer.
• 59:58
  So I'm going to take the Ravens here in the spot.
• 59:59
  I'll let you lick my butt. I guess we'll go to, we'll go to
• 1:00:02
  Nathan. Speaking of dogs, there's
• 1:00:05
  Jabba's dog. Yeah, that's a go.
• 1:00:07
  Oh, wow. Nice dog, right?
• 1:00:09
  This shit. He loves his dog.
• 1:00:11
  What? What's your dog's name?
• 1:00:13
  Jabba Bailey. Bailey.
• 1:00:17
  I I remember you told me he. Bailey said stuff.
• 1:00:21
  Did he go go to a different go to arrow first it?
• 1:00:24
  Kind of. It kind of looks like you.
• 1:00:25
  It looks like you. I think, I think you're related.
• 1:00:29
  I think there's there's definitely some kind of relation
• 1:00:31
  right there. You're going to go to me.
• 1:00:33
  I'm the last guy to go. He's the last to go, Nathan.
• 1:00:35
  I said you're next, You're next. Patriots at Ravens.
• 1:00:38
  Ravens are three-point favorites at.
• 1:00:40
  I got, I got I got the Patriots. I think they're playing at a
• 1:00:43
  high level and they're Super Bowl contender and Mike Rayville
• 1:00:46
  obviously changing this culture at the Patriots team.
• 1:00:49
  And obviously Drake Mays playing like MVP.
• 1:00:51
  I got them winning against the Ravens.
• 1:00:53
  I'll let you lick my butt. All right to the coin.
• 1:00:59
  A lot of hot ladies. Heads.
• 1:01:02
  All right, Java is on the Ravens to cover the spread -3.
• 1:01:06
  All I definitely there's something that tells me the
• 1:01:09
  Ravens are going to win this game and they're going to play
• 1:01:11
  it. It's going to be very, very
• 1:01:13
  close. I think it'll be back and forth,
• 1:01:15
  but I think Lamar Jackson's going to prove himself.
• 1:01:17
  Oh, look at this. Look at this run by Walker
• 1:01:19
  touchdown. Now Seattle takes the lead and
• 1:01:23
  they're up. Well, they will be up 14 to 13,
• 1:01:27
  but yeah, I've got the Baltimore Ravens winning in a close one.
• 1:01:32
  All right, we'll go to the Buccaneers at the Panthers, one
• 1:01:35
  of the games mentioned in Savior tears.
• 1:01:36
  The Bucks are three-point favorites on the road at
• 1:01:39
  Carolina. Carolina again, it's tough to
• 1:01:41
  figure out. They've beaten some good teams
• 1:01:43
  and then they've got swept by the Saints.
• 1:01:44
  The Buccaneers don't look like the same team right now.
• 1:01:47
  I've if I was actually betting, I would probably bet the under.
• 1:01:49
  I think this is kind of a sloppy game.
• 1:01:51
  I'm worried about Baker even playing him, but I I'll take the
• 1:01:54
  Bucks in the spot to win a tight one.
• 1:01:59
  Well, I I I got the Bucks also, I think aren't they still
• 1:02:03
  fighting for a playoff spot? Buckingham, Both yes, teams are
• 1:02:07
  both team record. This is OK this big game for
• 1:02:08
  both team. All right, I got the I got the
• 1:02:10
  Buccaneers. I think they have more
• 1:02:12
  experience. Panthers is still young team.
• 1:02:14
  Yeah, I got I got the Buccaneers over the Panthers.
• 1:02:22
  Oh, I got tails. Oh all.
• 1:02:24
  Right Jabba on the. Bucks.
• 1:02:28
  I got the Bucks. I I think Mike Evans is going to
• 1:02:30
  have an explosive week. He looked pretty good last week.
• 1:02:34
  As long as he plays, I expect him to put up at least 100 yards
• 1:02:37
  and a touchdown. He's been he's in very important
• 1:02:40
  to their offense and you saw it last week how important he is.
• 1:02:43
  Even though they lost, you can see what Mike Evans could do on
• 1:02:46
  the football field. So give me the Bucks.
• 1:02:48
  All right, we got we got Wes in the studio now with us.
• 1:02:51
  Oh, it is Roll Tide for for tomorrow's game and Yum Yum.
• 1:02:55
  I do have to mention Wesa did send this to me earlier.
• 1:02:57
  He actually. He.
• 1:02:58
  Actually now has a book out right.
• 1:03:00
  Here. Disciplined sports betting Wes,
• 1:03:04
  you want to give a little bit of a sneak peek on that?
• 1:03:07
  Yeah, you know, I've, I've been working on this thing since
• 1:03:09
  COVID and in the last couple weeks I, I got serious about it.
• 1:03:13
  But it it is, it is not going to tell you what to bet or, or when
• 1:03:17
  to bet it. It is not giving you pics.
• 1:03:20
  It is, it is about how to how to look at this thing as as a
• 1:03:23
  business. I draw some comparisons to, you
• 1:03:27
  know, your 4-O1K and the, and the percentages that it would go
• 1:03:31
  up and what would satisfy you versus the mentality of what
• 1:03:35
  people are looking to do with sports betting.
• 1:03:37
  And you know, it put some structure behind it, some pay
• 1:03:41
  yourself activity, how to reinvest and up your bets.
• 1:03:45
  But then there's, there's some cool chapters with the seven
• 1:03:49
  deadly sins of sports betting and the 10 commandments of
• 1:03:52
  sports betting. And I even get into how to break
• 1:03:56
  down a weekly portfolio. A football season is a different
• 1:04:00
  approach than basketball season. And it just put some discipline
• 1:04:03
  and structure and, and some guardrails behind how to
• 1:04:06
  approach it. I see a lot of people and for
• 1:04:08
  years you guys have heard me talk about unit management, but,
• 1:04:11
  but I see a lot of people, you know, they, they, they deposit
• 1:04:14
  $100 into an account, they place one bet for 50 bucks, they place
• 1:04:18
  another for 25 and another for 10.
• 1:04:20
  And then they are out of money and they're wondering how and
• 1:04:24
  why. And, you know, there's just no
• 1:04:26
  structure to it. And so this gives it a, a
• 1:04:29
  business like approach. You invest in your sports
• 1:04:32
  betting account and you treat it the same way that you would
• 1:04:35
  treat a business. And, and you know, I've been
• 1:04:38
  doing unit management strategies like this for years.
• 1:04:43
  I don't think I've made a deposit into my sports betting
• 1:04:46
  account in about 18 months. And that was probably for, you
• 1:04:51
  know, a reason, not because of a bust.
• 1:04:53
  But your average person is betting these four way parlays.
• 1:04:56
  And you know, I'd like to offer people some help with that and
• 1:04:59
  see if we can take some money from the casino instead of
• 1:05:03
  giving, giving them more, making them fatter.
• 1:05:06
  Where can we find it, Wes? So it in the next few days it's
• 1:05:10
  going to be on Amazon in Kindle softcover and hardcover.
• 1:05:16
  Tomorrow I am going to get my own personal marketplace landing
• 1:05:20
  page up and running. But Arrow and I are working
• 1:05:22
  together on how we can get the download PDF e-book version of
• 1:05:26
  it for all the listeners and, and in this group.
• 1:05:29
  So here in the next 48 hours, we should be able to sell it on
• 1:05:35
  this worldwide sports radio Network page.
• 1:05:38
  And and we're going to, we're going to push it out there that
• 1:05:40
  way. If you're a betting man or woman

• 1:05:49
  show. This guy during the CFL season,
• 1:05:52
  this guy is usually the year before, last of this past year
• 1:05:56
  he was at almost 70%. This year he was in the 60s.
• 1:05:59
  I think he was 68 or 66%. The guy knows how to bet and if
• 1:06:04

• 1:06:23
  so. All right, I do have to give my
• 1:06:25
  oblatory shocker to Wes. And thank you very much.
• 1:06:30
  I appreciate that. Appreciate the the shout out to
• 1:06:34
  the book. Wes, Congrats on the book and by
• 1:06:37
  the way, nice meeting you for the first time here.
• 1:06:39
  I'm the I'm the PR manager for the show.
• 1:06:41
  So nice meeting you virtually so.
• 1:06:44
  Awesome. Appreciate it.
• 1:06:45
  Thank you. All right, appreciate all the
• 1:06:47
  all the kindness. All right, my friend, we got two
• 1:06:51
  games that you didn't. You didn't give us your
• 1:06:54
  winnings. So speedy the 1st 2 that you
• 1:06:56
  were the Patriots at the Ravens. The Ravens are three-point
• 1:06:59
  favorites and then the Bucks 3 point Rd. favorites at the
• 1:07:01
  Panthers are the first two of my 6.
• 1:07:06
  This is to me. Yes, yes, these are the 1st 2:00
• 1:07:09
  and then we got four more. Running after that, I like the
• 1:07:13
  Ravens. This is a really weird one that
• 1:07:15
  the Ravens are favorite, but this thing opened at 8 1/2 and
• 1:07:19
  somehow has found its way to -3 There's just been so much
• 1:07:24
  action, public and sharp on New England.
• 1:07:28
  This is one of those WTF lines. When it first comes out, it's
• 1:07:32
  still Lamar, it's it's still Henry.
• 1:07:36
  I really like the Ravens in this spot.
• 1:07:38
  They only have to lay three at home in in A and they they just
• 1:07:42
  came off of a confidence building type of division win 24
• 1:07:46
  to nothing. It's easy to say that was
• 1:07:48
  because it was against the Bengals who are falling apart.
• 1:07:51
  But I I believe that the Ravens are going to show up here.
• 1:07:54
  I don't think New England gets exposed.
• 1:07:56
  They're still a great team, but I like this spot for the Ravens
• 1:07:59
  -3 all. Right.
• 1:08:00
  And then the Bucks Rd. favorites at the Panthers.
• 1:08:04
  Yeah, so I like the Panthers in this game.
• 1:08:06
  I don't like this Bucks team. I I just, I don't very much care
• 1:08:10
  for this version of the Bucks. I think that Bryce is playing
• 1:08:13
  good ball. I get I get a division match up
• 1:08:17
  with something significant on the line.
• 1:08:21
  I believe that Carolina is the better defense.
• 1:08:23
  They just don't have names that we can recognize.
• 1:08:28
  I think that Baker's going to be bakers, not as much of A grown
• 1:08:33
  up as some of these other quarterbacks in the league.
• 1:08:35
  And I think that Baker is going to have something to prove
• 1:08:37
  against Carolina and he's going to make mistakes.
• 1:08:40
  He's going to force a problem that that Tampa doesn't need.
• 1:08:43
  And so I like Caroline outright in this game and that will be a
• 1:08:47
  true play of mine to take some money line on this.
• 1:08:50
  All right, let's go to the Pittsburgh Steelers at the
• 1:08:52
  Detroit Lions. Kind of desperation for both
• 1:08:54
  these teams, All the Steelers trying to hang on the division,
• 1:08:56
  the Lions fighting for a playoff so that Lions are 6 point
• 1:08:59
  favorites. I think there's too many points.
• 1:09:00
  I think they will win the game, but I think it is closer.
• 1:09:02
  So I'm going to take the Steelers to cover, the Lions to
• 1:09:05
  win. All right, Wes, you'll go second
• 1:09:06
  for the rest of this rotation and then we'll go to Nathan,
• 1:09:08
  Jabba and then Errol. Yeah, the so at 7:00, I would
• 1:09:14
  have been at the Steelers. Pete, you're talking about 6
• 1:09:17
  1/2. Yeah, I.
• 1:09:18
  Have 6 1/2. I looked on Vegas Insider.
• 1:09:20
  I don't know where you were looking at, but.
• 1:09:22
  Yeah, this is this is a situation where if you look at
• 1:09:25
  when Detroit wins, how they win is typically big or bigger than
• 1:09:32
  6 1/2. You got them beating the
• 1:09:34
  Commanders 44 to 22. You got them beating Dallas 44
• 1:09:37
  to 30. You can go back to 24 to 9
• 1:09:40
  against the bottle before the bye week.
• 1:09:42
  So, So typically when they win, it is by a touchdown or more.
• 1:09:46
  If they don't win by more than a touchdown, they're not winning.
• 1:09:49
  So if you are of the belief that Detroit is the winner here, then
• 1:09:54
  they will cover this spread and I believe Detroit will win.
• 1:09:57
  Pittsburgh's defense is very, very not good.
• 1:10:00
  So I'm going to lay the points and take Detroit here.
• 1:10:03
  And this will be also one of my. Cost all.
• 1:10:06
  Right Ness, what do you got? I got, I got Detroit Lions.
• 1:10:10
  I think both, both teams are fighting for a playoff spot.
• 1:10:13
  And I think with the Detroit, the Detroit's win against Dallas
• 1:10:17
  and putting up 44 points and they and also their defensive
• 1:10:20
  point area had a game plan already set for Dallas and they
• 1:10:23
  did a better job of soppies bigger than yours.
• 1:10:26
  So I think I got I think the Lions will beat the Steelers and
• 1:10:30
  and they have more some they have they're fighting for, for
• 1:10:33
  something more and also the Steelers.
• 1:10:35
  But Detroit has found right now my opinion.
• 1:10:39
  All right, to the coin. All right.
• 1:10:47
  Couldn't see it very well. Java, can you show it again with
• 1:10:49
  the bigger screen? Looks like it's a tails.
• 1:10:51
  Yep, looks like that way. All right, so Java is on the
• 1:10:55
  Steelers to cover. Yeah, I got the lions.
• 1:10:58
  I think the lions are going to be explosive, and I and Jameer
• 1:11:01
  Gibbs did not have a big week. If you're a fantasy owner, bet
• 1:11:05
  Jameer Gibbs he's going to have a big day.
• 1:11:09
  Stuff them. Not gonna happen.
• 1:11:11
  All right, Chargers at the Cowboys.
• 1:11:13
  We'll go on to next Chargers 1 1/2 point favorites.
• 1:11:16
  I know I picked Justin Herbert and save your tears.
• 1:11:18
  But I do think Dallas does win this game.
• 1:11:19
  I think they're gonna fight to the end to try to stay alive in
• 1:11:21
  this division with the Eagles. The Chargers, they've been hot
• 1:11:24
  for a while. They've played very well amidst
• 1:11:25
  the injuries. But I think Dallas gets them
• 1:11:26
  here. Give me the Cowboys.
• 1:11:29
  Get it, Wes? Yeah, this one is a real
• 1:11:36
  struggle, right? Because because the Chargers,
• 1:11:38
  they barely won a game. I mean, I realized that that
• 1:11:42
  God, I this one's a struggle, but I am going to take the
• 1:11:48
  Chargers because they actually believe in playing defense.
• 1:11:51
  And Herbert, I saw Herbert play live.
• 1:11:55
  And I mean, the dude just gets rid of the ball really quickly.
• 1:11:59
  And he is a big guy. Like, like, I mean, that is a
• 1:12:03
  big quarterback. He looked bigger than Josh
• 1:12:05
  Allen. I realize that's not a reason to
• 1:12:09
  take a team but but the Chargers just simply play better defense.
• 1:12:12
  Dallas is usually good for 30 but the Chargers don't allow 30
• 1:12:16
  so and and the spread is nothing.
• 1:12:20
  Give give me the Chargers. Nathan, you take your Cowboys or
• 1:12:24
  you're going with the. Chargers I mean, this is a tough
• 1:12:27
  one because you know the Cowboys, the Cowboys that the
• 1:12:31
  Detroit game was big for them. I they met they they they had
• 1:12:34
  that was a big game. But now they also, so being you
• 1:12:39
  need the Eagles to lose basically all their games, but
• 1:12:41
  they got the commanders, Eagles got the Commanders place and
• 1:12:44
  obviously Jada Daniels is not playing.
• 1:12:46
  So I don't think it's going to work out for the Cowboys.
• 1:12:50
  So I got the Chargers winning this game.
• 1:12:53
  I think they have a much better team right now and I like I got
• 1:12:58
  the Chargers winning OK. I got to say something with you,
• 1:13:02
  Nathan. You.
• 1:13:03
  You just. Give us your pick and you're
• 1:13:05
  like all over the place. Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah
• 1:13:09
  Dick. You on this segment, he has to
• 1:13:10
  make it smart. I'm like Sydney, I'm like, go
• 1:13:13
  ahead, spit the damn thing. Out we also take over a role for
• 1:13:17
  Fish. Nathan has to do it in this in
• 1:13:18
  this segment. It goes from one place to
• 1:13:21
  another. Let's go to A-Z.
• 1:13:28
  So we get made. Went up for the time on the coin
• 1:13:30
  though. Yeah, well now you threw me off
• 1:13:35
  with where'd my coin go? Nathan, I think you hypnotized
• 1:13:40
  him. Yeah.
• 1:13:41
  Carl plays with himself. Don't worry, I got it.
• 1:13:45
  All right. Here we go.
• 1:13:49
  Head's always at home. All right, night Jabba is on the
• 1:13:52
  Cowboys and Errol will round it out.
• 1:13:55
  I'm going to go. I think the Cowboys aren't
• 1:13:57
  playing for anything. So if they're not playing for
• 1:14:00
  anything, and it seems like, I mean, they're still kind, are
• 1:14:04
  they still in it? I think they are.
• 1:14:05
  Still in it they. Have to win the Eagles.
• 1:14:08
  That's not going to have a small chance.
• 1:14:09
  I have the Chargers winning the game.
• 1:14:12
  All right, we'll go to the Jaguars at the Broncos.
• 1:14:14
  The Broncos are 5 1/2 point favorites at home.
• 1:14:16
  I will take them to cover the spread.
• 1:14:17
  I know their offense hasn't been overly great, but I do think
• 1:14:20
  this is Jacksonville, a warm weather team traveling there.
• 1:14:23
  It's going to be it's going to be cold in Denver, that
• 1:14:25
  altitude. Trevor Lawrence, a warm weather
• 1:14:27
  quarterback. Give me Denver here.
• 1:14:29
  This makes my pecker hard all right.
• 1:14:32
  Wes. 5 1/2 so. Favorites for the.
• 1:14:35
  Broncos 5 1/2 is a lot of points, and if this was a year
• 1:14:40
  ago, six months ago, even summer before the season started, I
• 1:14:43
  wouldn't be saying this about Trevor Lawrence.
• 1:14:45
  But I believe right now that the Broncos are about to play the
• 1:14:48
  best quarterback they've seen in quite some time.
• 1:14:52
  And and keep in mind the Chiefs season ticket holder, I'm
• 1:14:55
  throwing Patrick Mahomes out the window and calling Trevor
• 1:14:57
  Lawrence a better quarterback. Currently right now, Trevor is
• 1:15:01
  is playing really well. And if you look at who the Jags
• 1:15:05
  have been playing, Liam Cohen is got this team ready to play
• 1:15:10
  against good defenses. So Denver's coming off a really
• 1:15:14
  big win. I don't believe that Jordan Love
• 1:15:17
  and Trevor Lawrence belong in the same conversation right now.
• 1:15:20
  I think Trevor is Trevor is is taken off with his feet when he
• 1:15:25
  should, which is where he's dangerous.
• 1:15:27
  He he's got the same arm he always has, but he's really
• 1:15:30
  seeing the field. And if you just look at how the
• 1:15:32
  Jags did earlier in the season against the Houston defense,
• 1:15:36
  they they absolutely have. I mean, they smoked the charters
• 1:15:39
  earlier in the season that deep. That's another good defense.
• 1:15:42
  So I like the way that Jacksonville gets the team ready
• 1:15:46
  for good defenses. And I don't believe that Denver
• 1:15:49
  has seen a quarterback like the way that Trevor is playing right
• 1:15:52
  now. And this game has true meaning.
• 1:15:54
  I am taking 5 1/2 points. Don't know who wins but 5 1/2 is
• 1:15:57
  too many and I'm taking Jacksonville.
• 1:16:00
  Yeah, it's the same time I got the Jaguars also.
• 1:16:04
  Thank God finally he's figured it out.
• 1:16:07
  Jabba. Shit.
• 1:16:14
  I. Was on his son's team, the
• 1:16:15
  Broncos. Yeah, I got the Broncos too.
• 1:16:17
  I think it'll be close. I'm not a Jaguars fan and I
• 1:16:20
  don't believe in treble warrants, even though he kicked
• 1:16:23
  the crap out of The Jets last week.
• 1:16:24
  So yeah, I'm going Broncos. All right, final one will be
• 1:16:28
  West Side, the team you rooted for when you were growing up,
• 1:16:30
  the Chicago Bears hosting Green Bay Packers.
• 1:16:32
  The bears are currently one point favorite.
• 1:16:34
  The spread I think started with the Packers ahead and then the
• 1:16:36
  bears I think are now the favorites.
• 1:16:38
  Good for you. Basically, I pick them in this
• 1:16:40
  spot though. I think the pressure, I think
• 1:16:42
  the Packers have handled the pressure a little more obviously
• 1:16:44
  with Jordan Love in this core right now.
• 1:16:46
  Chicago's win a lot of close games.
• 1:16:48
  I think they're due to lose 1 tight one here.
• 1:16:50
  So even with Parsons out, I am going to take the Packers.
• 1:16:56
  The Bears have some injuries at wide receiver, so that concerns
• 1:17:02
  me here coming off of the the performance that the Bears had
• 1:17:05
  against the Packers the last time they played.
• 1:17:08
  These two teams are both at a quality where you would expect a
• 1:17:10
  split in the division. The Packers are coming off of
• 1:17:14
  something of an embarrassing loss.
• 1:17:16
  They don't have like a Parsons and the Bears are coming off of
• 1:17:20
  a situation or they're going into a situation where it's it's
• 1:17:26
  looking like a doomsday. He's not going to play and and
• 1:17:28
  Burden might possibly be a game time decision.
• 1:17:33
  I'm still going to take the Bears here just because the
• 1:17:36
  Packers will not be able to get the same pressure on Caleb
• 1:17:38
  Williams. And Caleb is very responsible
• 1:17:41
  with the football. Like normally with quarterbacks
• 1:17:44
  that are trying to find their way.
• 1:17:45
  They're reckless and they throw picks and commit turnovers.
• 1:17:48
  Caleb has not done that at all. So I don't have to lay very many
• 1:17:53
  points. This one's in Chicago, I think.
• 1:17:56
  I think this rivalry is due for a split and and the Bears are a
• 1:17:59
  very good team. Freaking daily lives.
• 1:18:06
  I got, I got the, I got the Bears.
• 1:18:08
  I think the bears, obviously they're a great team.
• 1:18:11
  So I got I got the spout Bears all.
• 1:18:12
  Right, we got to the coin. Tail all.
• 1:18:20
  Right, Java's on the Packers. Yeah, I'm definitely going with
• 1:18:23
  the pack. I I can't see the Bears winning,
• 1:18:26
  I can't see the pairs winning. So I'm going with the pack
• 1:18:29
  again. back-to-back games, baby. back-to-back games.
• 1:18:32
  Give me the pack. All right, that's it for this
• 1:18:34
  week of Speedy 6 Pack. And I will say, and I think, I
• 1:18:38
  think the fact that losing Michael Parsons and, and I know
• 1:18:42
  everybody keeps saying that because they lost Michael
• 1:18:44
  Parsons, they they're not going to have a chance to go to the
• 1:18:48
  Super Bowl this year. I think they're going to play
• 1:18:49
  even better because Michael Parson's gone.
• 1:18:51
  They're going to find ways to put more pressure on the
• 1:18:54
  quarterbacks who they're playing against.
• 1:18:56
  I think Caleb Williams is going to be running for his dear life.
• 1:18:59
  And I know a guy like Wes is not going to want to hear this
• 1:19:02
  because he is a Bears fan. But I think this is I think the
• 1:19:06
  Packers are going to win. I still think the Bears are
• 1:19:08
  going to win the division, but I think the Packers win.
• 1:19:11
  So there you go. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:19:15
  we got. Let's parlay.
• 1:19:25
  It's time for Let's parlay. All right, so ladies and
• 1:19:30
  gentlemen, before we get into the West picks, he's going to
• 1:19:33
  give you 4 of his top picks. He's going to give you 3 picks
• 1:19:36
  and his parlay. Again, I want to mention his
• 1:19:39
  discipline. Sports betting book.
• 1:19:41

  Yes, I'm not. I'm looking at it right now in a
• 1:20:06
  PDF. The manuscripts been, you know,
• 1:20:08
  it's in with the publisher like it's, I mean, I, I could send it
• 1:20:13
  to you right now if you said send me the book.
• 1:20:15
  So I'm we're going to be working on something and it like I said,
• 1:20:19
  I know there's a lot of sports betters out there and there's a
• 1:20:23
  lot of books out there, but this man has been working on it since
• 1:20:26
  COVID. He wanted to really be
• 1:20:29
  particular on how he wants to bring from 1, you know, put from
• 1:20:33
  1 chapter to another on and how to you know, he has a way of
• 1:20:37
  doing and and investing in his money into units for sports
• 1:20:41
  betting. And he has a way of doing it
• 1:20:44
  where he's going to help you win money, not lose money from
• 1:20:47

• 1:20:51
  comes to books. So we'll have it posted on the

• 1:20:57
  it could be read to you and you could just sit and hang out at
• 1:21:01
  your friend's house playing video games and listen to it.
• 1:21:04
  Or you could be driving, you know, a truck or whatever you do
• 1:21:07
  in your spare time driving around and you want to listen to
• 1:21:10
  it. This is a must book that you
• 1:21:13
  would want to buy. And it's Christmas time.
• 1:21:14
  Why not get the book? So we'll have it up on the
• 1:21:17
  worldwidesportsradio.com network page.
• 1:21:22
  There you go. All right, Wes, you ready?
• 1:21:24
  I am. I am.
• 1:21:25
  Let's get it. Give us your top. 4 Let's go.
• 1:21:28
  We're going to do NFL. Yeah, we're going to do NFL
• 1:21:32
  first, and I talked about it on our prior segment.
• 1:21:34
  But I one of my hottest plays of the week is the Jacksonville
• 1:21:37
  Jaguars at at 5 1/2. I get to, I get the points here.
• 1:21:42
  A sneaky stat that nobody quite realizes is Jacksonville Jaguars
• 1:21:48
  are #1 or #2 in rush defense and rushing yardage allowed.
• 1:21:54
  Which is wild to think that when you're playing against Denver,
• 1:21:57
  if they put Phoenix in an awkward position, right?
• 1:22:00
  Phoenix has been the biggest question mark that the media has
• 1:22:03
  or that fans have against Denver.
• 1:22:06
  You know, has he proven this? Can you do it on the stage?
• 1:22:09
  Well, when you're playing against the number one rushing
• 1:22:13
  defense in the in the league, there is no escape route.
• 1:22:16
  Bonex has to be the thing that scores the point.
• 1:22:19
  So I really like that component of Jacksonville.
• 1:22:21
  I truly believe that Trevor Lawrence right now is playing
• 1:22:24
  like a top five quarterback. And I'm giving the credit to the
• 1:22:28
  to the coach Liam Cohn, who ready he's he's playing loose.
• 1:22:31
  He's using his legs. I don't know that Jacksonville
• 1:22:34
  wins the game, but I think 5 1/2 is too many, especially coming
• 1:22:38
  off of that huge spot that Denver was just in in that
• 1:22:41
  Packers game. So I also think that if Micah
• 1:22:45
  Parsons finished that game, it would have looked a little bit
• 1:22:48
  different too for for Denver. So give me the 5 1/2 points on
• 1:22:52
  what I believe is a very impressive Jags.
• 1:22:56
  All right, give us your number 2.
• 1:22:58
  Let's go to college. I'm going to pull it up real
• 1:23:00
  quick. I want to make sure that I have
• 1:23:01
  my notes. A lot of meaningless football
• 1:23:04
  games going on in college and a lot of meaningless football
• 1:23:10
  games going on in college and I am going to jump on a meaningful
• 1:23:14
  1 and I'm wearing this shirt and I'm going to take Alabama.
• 1:23:16
  I that was a close game in other than a few moments that that
• 1:23:22
  really changed the game. I don't understand this
• 1:23:24
  controversy with Caitlin de Boer and where he's going.
• 1:23:27
  He's the coach of Alabama. There's there.
• 1:23:31
  The university in Ann Arbor is not a better job right now.
• 1:23:34
  There is some ugliness that needs to be cleaned up.
• 1:23:37
  I don't get it. I think that there's some
• 1:23:40
  players on that Alabama roster that are just, they weigh
• 1:23:43
  outclass what the Oklahoma players can do now.
• 1:23:49
  They don't feel like a Oklahoma team of the past, but we're
• 1:23:53
  talking about 1 1/2 points. I like Bama by a touchdown in
• 1:23:57
  this situation. Caitlin De Boer has been in
• 1:23:59
  playoff scenarios before. I think that if we get to a
• 1:24:03
  place where where Oklahoma needs some points versus needing a
• 1:24:06
  stop, Brent Venables isn't going to know what to do in those
• 1:24:09
  scenarios. I think that Mitts here might be
• 1:24:12
  a little confused in this game, although I do think he's the
• 1:24:14
  best quarterback in the country. I think that he is better than
• 1:24:17
  the gentleman that just won the Heisman.
• 1:24:19
  Arrow you and I had to talk offline about that.
• 1:24:21
  But but give me Bam and I'm gonna lay 1 1/2.
• 1:24:23
  We did a call your shot last week.
• 1:24:25
  We were make prediction. I predicted either one of those
• 1:24:27
  teams to beat Indiana. All right, give me your #3.
• 1:24:32
  I'm staying in college and this is one that people might not
• 1:24:35
  agree with, but I am taking Miami outright to win the game.
• 1:24:39
  The smart play is that you take the 3 1/2 points, but this is
• 1:24:43
  11:00. This is this is in College
• 1:24:46
  Station. So it's going to be over 100K
• 1:24:48
  fans. It's going to be loud.
• 1:24:50
  The building is going to be shaking and all of those things.
• 1:24:52
  But I got to say it, yes, Texas A&M when 11 and 1, you have to
• 1:24:58
  look at who they did it against. They barely beat Notre Dame,
• 1:25:02
  who's not a playoff team right now.
• 1:25:03
  And they allowed forty points out of Notre Dame earlier in the
• 1:25:06
  season. That is the big win that they're
• 1:25:08
  hanging their hat on. They played against a very weak
• 1:25:11
  SEC schedule. They're, they're getting credit
• 1:25:14
  for going to LSU, which was a very broken team, really broken
• 1:25:19
  team led by an ass clown that got fired.
• 1:25:23
  You're, you're looking at, you know, they're getting credit for
• 1:25:27
  beating #22 Missouri. I speedy is Missouri even ranked
• 1:25:31
  right now? They went, they, they played 31
• 1:25:36
  to 30 against South Carolina. I'm sorry, Carson Beck or not,
• 1:25:40
  this Miami team is dangerous. And so I, I think Miami's going
• 1:25:46
  to go into this, this game and I, I believe that it might be
• 1:25:50
  close for a minute. And then it's just going to be
• 1:25:53
  belt to booty and, and Miami is going to take over this game.
• 1:25:58
  And as a as a die hard Buckeye fan, I am welcoming Miami to to
• 1:26:06
  buck around and find out. All right, give us your final
• 1:26:10
  pick of the week. Final pick, I got to go back to
• 1:26:16
  it, so this is a strange one, but I'm going to go to the FCS
• 1:26:25
  and this is a rivalry game and these two teams are playing each
• 1:26:31
  other again, Montana and Montana State.
• 1:26:35
  I'm actually going to take Montana State in this game.
• 1:26:38
  They are, I apologize, I'm taking Montana in this game.
• 1:26:42
  I'm taking the 5 1/2 points they won last game.
• 1:26:46
  They are the better team. Somehow there are 5 5 1/2 point
• 1:26:49
  dog I'm taking the Grizz in a playoff rivalry FCS game.
• 1:26:56
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, those are Wes's picks of the
• 1:27:00
  week. Again, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:27:03
  we're working on posting it up on a website,
• 1:27:06
  worldwidesportsradio.com where you can buy Wes's book.
• 1:27:11
  If you're a betting man or woman, if you're you're, you're
• 1:27:14

• 1:27:17
  betting, you can check it out. This discipline, sports betting.
• 1:27:20
  He's been working on it for the last, I would say five years and
• 1:27:23
  he's it's going to be up. Well, it is up on prime.
• 1:27:26
  It's going to be up on the worldwide Sports Radio network.
• 1:27:28
  It's going to be up on West W is going to have it posted up in

  And by the way, this past month we hit 32,000 people that have
• 1:27:53
  been out in and out of our website.
• 1:27:55
  And my latest story, Speedy, you have my latest story. 12,209
• 1:28:00
  views. 12,209 views. I've been posting up a story
• 1:28:05
  every single day and it'll be connected to this book
• 1:28:09
  discipline, sports betting. So when you go to all my
• 1:28:12
  stories, all the fans that are going to go in and out of my
• 1:28:15
  stories to read them, they're going to see this blinking.
• 1:28:18
  So if you're we will make sure that.
• 1:28:20
  It will be seen. And I gotta say, those stories,
• 1:28:26
  they're very well written. Error.
• 1:28:27
  Thank you. They're really well written.
• 1:28:30
  They're a little bit old school, but they're about as subtle as a
• 1:28:35
  punch in the mouth. And it takes a lot of balls to
• 1:28:38
  say the things that you're saying.
• 1:28:40
  You've offended nobody, but you're, you're, you're, you're
• 1:28:43
  attacking general media and using very specific shows and
• 1:28:48
  very specific outlets as the example of where the world is
• 1:28:52
  going. And it takes a lot of balls and
• 1:28:54
  everything is really well written.
• 1:28:56
  I, I got, I got to give you a lot of credit, man, I'm really
• 1:28:58
  proud to read that kind of material and having a friend
• 1:29:01
  that's writing that kind of stuff.
• 1:29:03
  It's it's, it's a cool thing. I will say this and I've been, I
• 1:29:06
  write every single day because I'm not working a full time
• 1:29:08
  right now and I want to make sure that people see that I have
• 1:29:12
  things out there. If you're not listening to the
• 1:29:14
  show, you have an outlet to check out my craziness in my
• 1:29:17
  stories. I've been working really,
• 1:29:19
  really, really, really hard with my stories and my writing skills
• 1:29:23
  so people can come, come and check me out.
• 1:29:25
  I want to thank Mark Everett Kelly for, you know, give me
• 1:29:28
  some tips on how I can attack it and my storytelling.
• 1:29:31
  And now I've just been putting it out every single day.
• 1:29:34
  I got a new one, Speedy. Why don't you tell the fans?
• 1:29:36
  Yes, he's got another one on the New York Knicks, the NBA Cup
• 1:29:40
  champions, and why Knicks fans will probably overreact like
• 1:29:42
  they won a championship, a regular championship.
• 1:29:45
  Yes. So it's a funny, funny article,
• 1:29:48
  Yes. Did you do, coward?
• 1:29:52
  I didn't do that yet, but I'm going to do that.
• 1:29:54
  I know you want me to to go after Colin Cowherd and I am
• 1:29:58
  going to do that. That's going to happen this
• 1:30:00
  weekend. I do that.
• 1:30:01
  I have stories that I'm trying to figure out how to do it on
• 1:30:04
  the weekend or what should I write about on the weekend.
• 1:30:06
  That is one of my stories this coming weekend I'm going to
• 1:30:09
  write about. Well, I wasn't poking you or.
• 1:30:11
  Prompt No, I don't go. After him, he's he's one of my
• 1:30:15
  favorites and I actually like that he says the thing that most
• 1:30:17
  people don't. So I I'm interested.
• 1:30:20
  I'm just interested in your brutal, no, no hold barred take
• 1:30:23
  on his show and and what the climate of the world has has
• 1:30:28
  formed that into because he was very different 15 years ago, you
• 1:30:33
  know, on ESPN then he's been on Fox.
• 1:30:35
  So I'm interested in the arrow marks take on it.
• 1:30:37
  I am going to attack him from the past to now and I've I've
• 1:30:42
  listened to Colin Cowherd for a very, very long time and he is
• 1:30:46
  the Mel Kiper of broadcasters. This guy has come up with some
• 1:30:51
  takes that have you shaking your head just like Mel Kiper when it
• 1:30:55
  comes to the draft. And that's all I'm going to tell
• 1:30:58
  you with my take on Colin. Colin Cowherd.
• 1:31:02

• 1:31:06
