• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Big fan of that number, and certainly Mason the Millennial
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: several other you knuckleets loved that number ten thousand. So
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: our lead this hour is from baseball. We are a
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: couple hours away from the start of the Major League
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Baseball season, the twenty twenty five season gonna get underway
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: from Tokyo. It's a morning pitch, first pitch, and just
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: after six a m. Eastern three am Pacific. It is
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: on like Donkey Kong, the Dodgers and the Cubs Nation
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: League matchup. And that is our you know leader is
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: from baseball. As we wait now the Epicenter of the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: United States. People in New York love to claim it's Manhattan.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So from Manhattan to is over six thousand, seven hundred miles.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Now from LA, it's like over five thousand miles. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: think it's like fifty four hundred miles or something from
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: LA to Tokyo. And you can do the math from
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Chicago if you want. So, the Dodgers and Cubs will
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: cut the ribbon, the curtain will go up on the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five season a game later today and again tomorrow.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And you know what this is all about. Well, the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Cubs and Dodgers are playing. This is a barnstorming situation.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: This is one of the great money grabs by Major
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: League Baseball.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Get that money, I get that money.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: There is an addiction to Shohei Otani in Japan. He
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is the Michael Jordan of Japanese baseball, and they are
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: milking that cow for all the cash they can get.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Don't blame them. Don't blame them.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: It's not ideal if you love watching Opening Day for
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, I don't really care. It's perfect
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: for us because we're up at these hours anyway, so
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I don't really affect us at all. In fact, it's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: really just about as good as you can get. Do
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the show, and then you know baseball game, and then
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that's great. So it's wonderful. But it's all about the Dodgers.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Dodgers are in the center square and they are the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: rock stars. They are the team that moves the needle. Here,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Shoe Aotani has worldwide appeal, and the big Blue wrecking
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: crew is omni present, and they're here, they're there, They're
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: everywhere at this point, So let us discuss the question.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Shoe Heotani's Dodgers an overwhelming favorite, the biggest favorite baseball
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: has seen in almost twenty five years.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Almost. It's just about I got to go back to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: some of those.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yankee teams, the tail end of the Yankees run, the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: last time baseball had a team that was this big
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of favorite.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: To win the Pennant.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And as the season gets going here and today's the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: day where all the magic begins, what is your level
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: of confidence in the Bumtons the Dodgers. So I've got
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: bud Light, Jolton, Joe and reincarnation, and we will combine
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: all of these things together and we are gonna make.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: A soft pretzel with Nacho cheese.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: One of the great things about going to the ballpark
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: is getting a soft pretzel with nacho cheese and spending
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: approximately like fifty bucks on that piece of dough.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Just great.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: All right, So, first of all, my first thought on
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: this on the Malar Scale of confidence, which is the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: record measurement of confidence. The Malor Scale of confidence is
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the most important tool that we have to judge confidence. Now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Malar scale of confidence goes one to ten, with ten
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: being it is guarantee, garanteed you're gonna get it done,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: no chance that it doesn't work out. So I'm not
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: out a ten. I am not at a nine and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a half. I am not I am I'm at a nine.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I am at a nine. Here's why I'm at a nine. Now,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: nine's pretty high, nine's really good. Nine's a really good
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: number on the matter scale of conference for the Dodgers.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: But I'm at a nine. And if you look at
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the Dodger roster right now today, even though Mookie Bets
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: isn't playing because he's got the creeping crud or whatever
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he's got, we're not getting a whole store in that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Mookie's out of the lineup because he's sick. Normally, when
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: you're sick, they give you an IV and you're good
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to go in a day. The Dodgers, I believe, sent
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: him back to the States, so that must be more
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: than just the creeping cruds.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Who knows. So he's out of the lineup.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: The shortstops out, But the Dodgers are filled to the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: brim this roster. They have no obvious weak spots, which
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: really bothers the Dodger haters. I know, I've not gotten
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of hate from the Dodger He normally I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: get a lot of craft from the Dodger haters. You
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: know who you are, mostly live in Houston or San Francisco.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Haven't got a lot of that. You're pretty numb right now.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I'd be numb to it this particular point. The Dodgers
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: have the ace of diamonds pretty much everywhere on the field.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You've got Shoe a Otani, Mookie Bets when he comes
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: back in the lineup, and Freddie Freeman, which are the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: like the old school bud Light marking, back when bud
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Light was cool and they had the real men of genius.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You think of that marketing campaign. I think of those
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: guys as the mister Giant Taco salad inventor guy. You know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: those guys are so stacked in the middle of that
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: lineup at the very top of the middle. There's like
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: twelve thousand calorie salad. That's but it's healthy because it's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you know, those guys right in the middle of that
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Dodger line up there and in the back end of
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the bullpen, which is really modern baseball is all about
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: back end of the bullpen in the playoffs, and you've
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: got Tanner Scott who was a stud last year, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Kirby Yates and Blake Trining and so that'll take care
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of in theory the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning, so
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much a seven inning game.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Now. The only mild.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Spot that I look at ad on the Dodgers and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I say, ain't particularly great is like that middle middle part.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: But that's mainly because there's pitchers that are currently on
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the injured report formerly knows the.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Disarebled list back before the Wolkesters took.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Over, and so the rotation is absolutely stacked with electric arms.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Now. The only reason I can't go higher.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Than a nine on the Malar scale of confidence is
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the fact that we're talking baseball.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: If this is basketball or football, i'd be like a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: thirteen out of ten.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: But in baseball, as you know, the thing that we
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: like about it and the thing that we hate about
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: it is a weak link sport that the quality of
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the secondary actors is often more important than it is
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: in any other sport. Meaning, for example, like in baseball,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: by rule, you spread everything around, you can't stack the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: lineup where you're guaranteed, like the Dodgers cannot guarantee that
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Shoe hail Tony's going to bat in the ninth inning
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: if they're down by a run, or you can't guarantee
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that a certain pitcher is going to be on the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: mound in a certain game because you're setting your rotation
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: prior to that and whatnot. And so it means like
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the weakest guys on the Dodger lineup, and they're going
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to rotate some of these people. But Michael CONFORDO, James Outman,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: some guys like that that are kind of there and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: kind of fringe guys like they'll have opportunities, but sometimes
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: that works out well. One of those fringe guys was
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the Nation League Most Valuable Player in the NLCS anyway,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: NLCS MVP who they got Tommy Edmond in a trade
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: from the Cardinals. Now, secondly, speaking of the Dowyers, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: since this is really just a barnstorming tour to make
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: as much money as they can, I don't blame them.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: There's reports of lines of people outside gift shops around
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Tokyo buying overpriced Dodger merch and can't get enough of it,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: can't keep it on the shelves. So shoy ol Tani
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: sat down. He did an interview through his interpreter with
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the CBS Evening News, which is apparently still a thing
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: who knew and prior to the opener of Major League
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Baseball season and which is getting started here today. And
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: there's one part of it that caught my attention that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I'd like to share with the class.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: And you're in the class if you didn't see it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So Shoyltani he opened up about being in the middle
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: of the spotlight, right right in the middle there ahead
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and this was ahead of the games in Tokyo with
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the Cubs, and he gave this quote, which is the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: money quote, and he said.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Don't let the kids down. That was his quote about.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: His mindset going into playing the Cubs and playing these
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: games in Japan. Don't let the kids down. So how
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: does that sound to you? So my initial reaction was, well,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: that sounds kind of corny and hokey and things like that,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and then I flashed back, I remember hearing this quote
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: before my time, and it goes back to yesteryear. So
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: we're going the hot top time machine way back, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: it sounded like Jolton Joe DiMaggio, because Joe Demaggio, there's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: this famous store.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know it is sure not out in there.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: But it's been repeated to me by multiple people that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a reporter asked Damagio is like, why did you Why
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: do you play so hard?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Joe? And what's going on?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I mean because even back then there were players lazy
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: in baseball, but Joe Demaggio played hard.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Are you playing hard? And you
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: don't have to play hard all the time?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And DiMaggio supposedly responded to the reporter, He's like, listen,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: there might be somebody in the crowd there who had
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: never ever seen me play before.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It might never ever see me play again.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So that was that was the money quote before social
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: media and all man so I got that same vibe
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: listening to Otani. It's legend building, it's Paul Bunyan, it's
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Johnny Appleseed, it's all that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And so that's that's where we are. Back it up.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Got to back it up now, all right?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Final thought, quickly, quickly, several of you who live in
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the great state of Florida attended a event the other day,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and you were bothered that I did not talk about it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And so you independently assume, independently, maybe you guys were
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: in coats, but as far as I know, you're not
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: related to each other and you don't know each other.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: And so you reached out and said, hey, I was
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: at this game and you didn't talk about it. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: thought it was kind of a cool scene. We enjoyed it,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: family enjoyed it. So I will address the issue. How
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: do you explain the Savannah Bananas, the Savannah Bananas popular
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: area which included and the reason I'm bringing this up now,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: they recently played a game at Raymond James Stadium that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: is a sixty five thousand seat venue which they sold out.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: They sold this game out.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: It's the home of the NFL's Buccaneers and a couple
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of our listeners who are in the Tampa area were
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: at the game and reached out. They were upset we
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: didn't talk about it. So how do you explain the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: popularity of this particular team. So the from what I've seen,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I've not set down and watch the Savannah Bananas.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I've seen clips on the socials.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So the bananas are a reincarnation of what used to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: be pretty popular in basketball. I know they're still around,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: but they're not really popular by the Harlem Globe Trotters.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It's like that same vibe. But how embarrassing is it
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: for the Tampa Bay Rays, who literally draw flies to
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: their game if they sometimes can't even get flies to attend.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Even the Maggots don't want to attend their games there
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: in Tampa, And in that same area, sixty five thousand
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: seat that's like stadium sold out for a baseball game.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: That's like three home stands for the Tampa Bay Rays
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to fill the stadium up.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And the Savannah Banannas come.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: In there and they spread around and they get that massive,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: massive attendance, and it's a viral sensation of the modern
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: TikTok nation. I guess you could say, and it's like
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the quote from the old baseball movie Kevin Coster's movie
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Back in the Day. If you build it, he will
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: come the field their dreams quote from Back in the Day.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: It's a hybrid version of baseball and they use alternative
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: rules and it's very popular. People love it. Apparently they
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: love it because it's limited. They don't play that many games.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It's a barnstorming operation. They travel around and I actually
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: looked up some tickets. They're gonna come we do the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: show from southern California.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be an Anaheim in May, and.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: They've almost sold out the Big A somebody the Angels
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: only do when they give away a bobblehead. The tickets
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: that are available are like a couple hundred bucks on
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the secondary market, so they're going to sell that stadium out.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: It's crazy, and from what I understand of it, maybe
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong on this. Each game they have different rules
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: where for example, and again this is as I understand it,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the players are not allowed to step out of the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: batter's box and if they do, that's it. If they
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: try to bunt, they're kicked out of the game. They're
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: not allowed to step out each inning is like its
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: own little game.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They have like mini games. You're not on golf.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You have to win each hole and then you count
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: up the score and all that. So each inning is
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a games kind of like I guess maybe tennis would
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: be the better way to describe that. And they also
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: have innings that can end on the walk off. They
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: also have a strict time limit of no inning can
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: start after one hour and fifty minutes, and if they
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: fail to reach.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Nine innings, that's it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: The game's over, Go home, get out of here, kind
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: of like a Broadway show, Like Broadway Broadway show, Vegas show.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I've had friends that have worked on these. They said,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: ninety minutes, that's the sweet spot. Ninety minutes with a
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: fifteen minute intermission. That's what you want in a show
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: in Broadway or in Vegas.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Ninety minutes and that's it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: And batters can steal first base in the Savannah Banana
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: game and it's like scripted reality. That's the clip that
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: went via a couple of years ago. I remember that
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Stuck with Me is some dude walked out of the
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: dugout and he was playing guitar hero as he was
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: walking to take his a bat.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: But it works, you know, it's good. Good for them.

  Speaker 2: and then I make sure I wait in line and
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I get the z Man sandwich, which is just outstanding.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: And I can only imagine how much that's gonna cost
