  Speaker 1: I don't think we need that all right. Now here
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we go.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We are back at it on a our Wednesday show.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: It's still late Tuesday night on the West. I was
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: gonna start with basketball, but it was such a terrible product.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like talking about it right now.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: The story that is most interesting to me is a
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: team that was expected to be pretty good and they
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: blow their sheep blows.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: We're talked about Philadelphia. Here.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: The winds of change have started to blow, and if
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you listen closely, you can almost cheer them. Oh man,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: look at that right through the Delaware Valley. The winds
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: have changed. So if if you weren't paying attention to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Phillies have decommissioned their manager, Rob Thompson, he's
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: out after a nine and nineteen start. The Phillies did
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: win in a route or route in the in their
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: game on Tuesday, but the Phillies coming into that game
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: nine and nineteen, so Thompson out the two hundred and.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Eighty four million dollar payroll, not.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Paying dividends right now, as they were in last place,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: bringing up the Caboose in the National League E division
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that has the Mets who suck and the Nationals, who
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: aren't any good either. So Philly didn't make the playoffs
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: all four years, all four years with stacked rosters. This
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: guy Rob Thompson was managing. They made the playoffs all
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: four years, and yet they went from winning the Pennant
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and it thought, well, they're gonna win the World Series
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and all that when they got there back in the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: day and against Arizona.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Not again, who they play in the World is Texas?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Was it Texas? I mean?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Was anyway? They now regressed? They did lose to Arizona,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: worl those years in the playoffs. So he's not gone well.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And this comes after being now Don Mattingly was the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: guy that got the gig. By the way, he's the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: interim manager, and Don was I was around him a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: lot when he managed the Dodgers and that didn't go
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: so well. That's some good teams, not like they have
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: now anyway, And he said he never wanted to manage again.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: So Dave Dombrowski says, how would you like to manage
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers. The reason that the Phillies rather, the reason
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that Dombrowski went with this guy, Don Maddingley, the former
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yankee legend from the eighties forty years ago, is because
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: he tried to hire Alex Cora and was rejected rejection
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: by the Red Sox trash Alex Cora, who was dumped
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: by Boston over the weekend. So Don Mattingley came in.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: He's a'll be the guy for the rest of the year.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: We say, the rest of the year. That's most of
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the season. Like it's it's only April. There's I know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it's late April. There's a lot of time left. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: so you look around Don madding He's like, Wow, we're
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: gonna emphasize the you know, the team needs to improve
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: in all aspects of the game. Thank you, captain obvious.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: So this sounds like you know what it sounds like
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to me, It sounds like a Dick in Dayton phone came.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Remember we asked famously, we asked, Dick and Dayton, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: how come the Cleveland Indians turn things around years ago?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And I said, they got to pitch or they got
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to hit and and that's it. And Don Maddie like, well,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: they got to pitch, they got to hit, play defense.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: What else is there? Is there anything else, Donnie Baseball?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Is there any anything else?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: No?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: The President of Baseball offs Dave Dombrowski. Dave Dombrowski stated
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the Phillies quote needed a different voice, which apparently was
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: not the voice of Rob Thompson. Maybe what if they
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: had asked him, say, you know that your voice people
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: are tuning it out. Why don't you just change the
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: inflection in your voice, go a little higher, have a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: higher pitched voice, and then we don't need to fire
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: your ass. We'll just have a different voice. How about that?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Holy Fats in Philadelphia Batman. Obviously that did not happen.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So Dombrowski also shockingly said he believes the roster is
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: good enough to turn things around. So this is the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: step the Phillies made. Let's discuss good jumping off point.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And so the question what does Dave Dombrowski mean when
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: he says the Phillies needed a different voice?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: What does that mean exactly?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: As I said, I was, of course tongue in cheek
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: pointing out the inflection a little higher. On that, I've
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: got AirPods, Tony Robbin and Lemon dropped Martini, And we
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: will combine all all of these things together and we
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: are going to make a late night infomercial for some pots.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna make, all right.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: So ay, when Dave Dombrowski, who's been a baseball executive
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: since the seventies, in the early eighties. Long time, this
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: guy's been around. He knows where all the bodies are buried,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Don Browski. And so when Dave don Browski comes out
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and says the Phillies need a different voice, that is
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the front office code. It is a dog whistle, Mark Bart,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Bart Bart, a dog whistle that the boys on the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: team they don't like the manager. It's kind of obvious, right,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: You don't need me to tell you that. Dom Browski
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: has been around long enough to recognize the smell, the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: odor emanating from the locker room and it reeks. It's
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a sulfur smell. It's not good. And Philly wasn't just underperforming.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: They were running a clubhouse rebellion. It would appear and
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you know a little bit, because it's above It's kind
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: of like the iceberg there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I believe in the iceberg theory, Like you.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Know what's above the surface, but very little is actually
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: above the surface. Most of the iceberg is below below
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the water. And you look at the core guys and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: this is on Bryce Harper, Trade Turner and Kyle Schwarber,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the shwar bomb. Those guys, the headliners on the Philadelphia fields.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: They were not buying in. Obviously they were not buying in,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and it's not exactly great leadership when you have to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: fire the manager because the star players aren't doing their job,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and on the field or in the clubhouse, the clicks
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: start forming and all that. So team wide, they passed
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: out Apple AirPods noise canceling headphones, and the guys put
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: them on there and they're like, Okay, that's it, We're
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: good to go. And the hitters, I don't know what
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: they're doing. It seems like they have no game plan.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I assume they do. The hitters aren't just following the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: game plan there. The pitchers don't appear to know what
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: they're doing. The pitch calm, I guess they're just ignoring it,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: doing whoever the hell they want. And so you've got
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: all of those things, guys, the reports that some of
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the players not exactly paying attention to their job, not
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: showing up as early as they're supposed to do. So
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: they're technically on time, but there's that gray area, so
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: not exactly a slump. We're a month in now, they've
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: played enough to see that this is not getting better,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and you still have time because there have been plenty
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: of teams that have been mediocre for two months into
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the season. Remember the Atlanta Braves won the World Series.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Tommy and Atlanta's Braves won the World Series a couple
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: years ago, and they were pretty mediocre five hundred under
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: five hundred at the All Star break and they ended
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: up winning the World Series.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: So there's time. There's always a lot of time.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: That's why I point out the hardest World Series of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: all time was the pandemic year, because that was different.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: You didn't have a.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Lot of Yeah, that was it, and yeah, a lot
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: of you idiotsn't understand that you're not that bright. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: this is pros it what the Phillies are doing. This
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is a preemptive strike because they believe they still have
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: enough time. If you only played sixty games, it wouldn't matter.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: You're cooked at that particular point. So anyway, let's chatter
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: about non compliance and lack of professionalism and all that stuff.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: And it appears that the clicks in the clubhouse you
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: have a shadow government, if you will, and the own rules,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the playlist, all that stuff, all that stuff, and so
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the manager Rob Thompson didn't just lose the room. It
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: appears that he was evicted from the room. They put
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the little note there on the door, this is in
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: eviction notice and get.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Out of here.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: And at some point you have to stop calling it
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: inconsistency with the fight and pills and start calling it
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: just insubordination. And that's it. This was not a failure.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: This was sabotage. Is what us now keeping the beat
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: going here. So give me the odds.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Here's the question.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Give me the odds on interim manager Don Mattingly. If
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you're of a certain age, if you're around my age,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Don Mattingley was a massive deal in baseball. Like they
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: had these things called posters, and a lot of dudes
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: around my age had posters of Wade Bogs from Boston
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and Don Mattingley. And then there was Dan Marino with
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins that was big as well. But we're talking
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: about Don Maddie. So can he oversee what are the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: odds he can oversee a miracle comeback? So we've turned
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to the Mallord of sports book gods, the Mallard of
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: sports book gods. I'm gonna set this at plus one
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: forty plus one forty. That is a based on the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: math forty percent shot which does feel a bit like
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Benny Brightside. And I'm being Brenny bright'side in this a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: very generous when the team, I know, they won randomly
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, the team, uh, it just it's like a
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: frozen TV dinner and you got to let it fall
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: out a little bit and the team's got to fall
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and all the Phillies are not just cold over the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: last couple of weeks of the season.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Here they are. It's like Ted Williams.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: They're frozen on ice somewhere in Arizona, the cryo frozen
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: therapy thing, you know, and the croak and they said,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, bring it back a thousand years And okay,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: that sounds good.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Why not bring me back? But this is not a
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: talent issue. It is not.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: You have an almost three hundred million dollars payroll in
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia and coming into play on Tuesday, the Phillies were
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: ranked twenty eight in baseball in run score, twenty eighth,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: twenty eight in baseball. Stagnant would be the word that
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: we would use. However, Don Matting he did not did
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: not sign up to manage. He didn't want to manage.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: He said he didn't want to manage, and here he
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: is managing, and so he's essentially going to be a
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: babysitter and and I hope that he just kind of
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: plays that cool. Hey, I've been there. I know big
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: time media and stuff like that how to deal with it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna let you guys go out there
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and do your thing. And this is a team that
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: is if you look around here, all right, Don Madding
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: is essentially gonna have to try to reboot a broken supercomputer.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And all he has is like mcgiver, except he doesn't
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: have a knife. He just has a paper clip. He
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: does not have any tape, and if he does have tape,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: it's not scotch tape. It's the duct tape. So it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just a paper clip and some scotch tape. And that's
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: that's not good enough. And so it's it's underperforming, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: it's more like performance art the way this has gone
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. And so this is not again, I don't
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: go back to my point, it's not a talent issue.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: It's not that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: It's why are you playing like the Colorado Rockies? What's
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: wrong with you? The pitching staff is also not very
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: good at run prevention so far this season.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: They stink at that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: In fact, they're acting more like a tax deductible charity
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: at this point with how bad they've been again aside
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: from the latest performance, but the Phillies all season and
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: how you get to this point and struggling and all
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: that struggle lug lug, and so Don Mattingly has to
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: go in there and he's got to go like the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: old school Tony Robbins and unleash the power within the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: self esteem program to help these sorry ass Phillies and
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: remind the guys that they actually had good careers. That's
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: how they got paid all the money. They don't look
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: like it right now. They look terrible, all right, last word,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So let's get to the main event here. We've saved
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the main event for right now. So, after the Red
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Sox whacked their manager over the weekend, Alex Kora, the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia Phillies GM, Dave Dombrowski said, I know you. You
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: were my manager with the Red Sox. So Dombrowski went
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: out and decide, you know what, I'm going to recruit
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Alice Correr and he ultimately decided to offer Alice core
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the job, and Corus said, I'm gonna go matamble. I
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: reject you, O rejected it rejected. I said he wanted
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to spend the summer in his native land there in
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico with his family rather than go from the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Red Sox to the Philadelphia Phillies. So they questioned, can
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: you explain the message? Explain the message that Alice core
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: is giving to both Major League Baseball and the Phillies
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: by rejecting Dave Dombrowski. So on this one, Alice Corey
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: did not just pass up on the Philadelphia Philly job.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't just do that. He filed a public out
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: of office note he said.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I'm out of The memo was sent to everyone. The
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: email was to all employees, all of them.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: That's that's where we are at this particular point, right.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: And this wasn't a standard. This was not a standard here.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: This was when I say standard, your standard. No thanks,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: but no thanks. It's not you, it's me. It was
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: not that. The way I interpreted Alice Cora and his
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: decision to reject the Phillies, this was a two for
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: one special, a two for as the kids used to say,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: two for one special, A total lack of confidence in
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia roster and a loud declaration again that I'm
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: going to take some paid time off and the Red
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Sox are paying me, and I'm going to enjoy every
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: dime of John Henry's money. And that's it, that's all.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Don't you think, though, and riddle me this, batman. Don't
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you think that if the Phillies, in the eyes of
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: ours Kora were legit, that this was salvageable, he would
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: have taken the job. Isn't that kind of obvious that
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: he would have taken the job if he thought that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: this team could turn things around? He obviously did not.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: And if the Phillies were a vacation package, Alice cor
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: just clicked, I'll plan my own trip, thank you.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And his own trip, by the way, is choosing to
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: go to was at Flamenco Beach. Is at the famous
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: beach there in Puerto Rico. Go down there, and he's
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: telling major League Baseball at this moment, he's saying, Hey,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not interested in that. I don't want the stress.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: It's also a memo to the New York Mets, unless
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: is there a conspiracy that Core actually wants the Mets job,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: and that's the job that he wants, and Core's like, well,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I'll just wait for the Mets to fire their manager
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: and then I'll slide on in and that's it. But
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: at this point, you got to say. Cora looked at
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the Phillies, talked to Dombrowski, heard his sales pitch, and said,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: you know what, I would rather sip a lemon drop
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: martini in a hammock on a beach in Puerto Rico
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: then manage the Philadelphia Phillies. I just don't don't want
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: any part of it. The guys, the guys a bum.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: There are a bunch of bump and you know, telling
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the the frogs, I'm not your firefighter. I am not
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: your firefighter. I don't respond to self inflicted emergencies, and
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: this is a self inflicted emergency. The message to the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: league is also that Cora is right now on island time.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: He's an island time.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Like Dorko the comedian.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: And it's not just hey, I'm waiting for this job,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I'd think, No, I'm just I'm taking my time.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: La la la la la la la la la la
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: la la la.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: So Philly offered him the dugout and he chose to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: drink with one of those drinks with the little paper
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: umbrellas in it and said that's where I'm going there,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and that's all so, And this is a move that
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: defines protecting your piece. Not many people would turn down
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: that job. That's a big time playrole, big market. You're
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: not coaching the Marlins, you know what I'm saying. You're
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: not managing the Marlins, and Coras said no. The Ben

  Speaker 1: Well, you're right, you know now that you touche you
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: are correct. You are correct.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: What I want to see what Lebron James does. Is
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: she going to drive a car because you know he's
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: got to go after that, you know, the race and
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: wins of Jordan's so hopefully that never happened.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Do you think Lebrony even drives a car now? Isn't
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: lebron I've btually has somebody drive him around?
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Probably right.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't let him push your grocery card around.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Well, possibly a grocery car maybe, I wonder. I don't
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: know what he does if he puts them back. Well,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I have to check with supermarket Stephen all. So what's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: on your mind here?
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Wayne?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: What did you call up about? What's your agenda here?
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah? What do you think about pab Diego Diego, Pavia Diego,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Pavia found with the Arabians?
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be very good as a
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: podcaster when he's doing a podcast, because he's not going.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: To be mean. I watched a lot of his games.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: I mean he's pretty tough and boy as her love
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: his mama?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well that that's more If you love his mama,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: that's more important. The problem here, the way I see it,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: is unless somehow you can give him some magic beans
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: where he'll get at least like four or five inches
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: star like if you look at the small quarterbacks, they've
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: been given opportunities in recent years, and they're not very good.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray sucks and Bryce Young's not really all that good.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And he's this guy. He makes them look like they're
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: monsters compared to him.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't stand Bryce Young. I'm an Alabama Crimson fan,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: and you still like wow?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I gotta I got to embrace Ty
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Simpson here. I don't know. I don't see how that goes,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: but I'm not sure about that.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well we'll see what I thank you, Wayne,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: all right, buddy, thanks?
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Why very Wayne? And Maryland an Alabama fan for sure.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Let's see here.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Who's your Bill says, I'm a huge fan of Blind
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Scott's because you've never met him. When we go to
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Sizzler salad bar I laughed my ass off right there,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: move them outside to the bushes.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Very nice. I missed Sizzler. There's still some Sisslers around,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: but they're just not the same. They're overpriced. That's because
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: it's a forty year old restaurant chain. That's why there's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: not many cheaper because all their you know, mortgages are paid.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Are they paid though it didn't have any Most of
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: these companies get sold and resold and all that. So
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the Royals they can't. That's a baseball team, not a
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: good one. The Kansas City Royals whole post game celebration
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: there and that we had a party foul by Salvador
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Perez who mistakenly in the postgame celebration. Now, how do
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: you screw up a gatorade bath? And he managed to
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: do it. The longtime Royals catcher there postgame caught on
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: camera and he dumped an entire gatorade container on a
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: security guard who goofed. I've got to know they were
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: post game. Bobby Witt, the big star for the Royals
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and all that, he's doing the interview and here comes
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: salvi Perez coming over there.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Bad job by him.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do they get charged for that?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Do they get charged if they have to? No, they don't.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: They don't charge them for that.

• 34:49
  Speaker 2: It's just gonna play a few more games. It's not
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: that much, but seventy six teams, And that is something
• 34:56
