• 2:00
  Speaker 1: loser draw. When you have a syndicated talk show, you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: do the show, no matter what. You come in and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you talk. You have four hours, no matter what. Now,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: years ago, long long ago, I did the local local radio. Somebody,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you get covered off, you get nights off. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it's easy street, easy street. But to hear, we do
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it no matter what, no matter what's going on. We're
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: here in our lead this hour from Los Angeles. And
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that was the playground for a game a season, not one,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, not by this game number five.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Game five will be twenty five, twenty twenty five World Series.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And the really the pivotal game. I was every game's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: pivotal But they said, well this tied to two.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: The winner of Game five goes on and wins the
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: World Series. Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers and Jays at Loggerheads on a warm
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: toasty day in LA and not sure if you're watching
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: or not. Ratings are down for the World Series because
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the Yankees aren't in it. Uh and so maybe you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: usked it. But tray you savage, he sat viage beast
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: as he said, a world sis record with twelve strikeouts.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I think that's good.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And Toronto opens up Game five with back to back
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: dingers and they boat race the pathetic Los Angeles baseball team.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: They got how many jumbo jets when they go on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the road, they stay at the penthouse when they travel
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like rock stars, and they hit like a bunch of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know watts. So Toronto now one game away from
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the first championship since Joe Carter back in the nineties.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Holy Canola nineteen ninety three. Davis Schneider, Davis Schneider, the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Rants mullinicks of this Blue Jay team and Vladimir Guerrero
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Junior connecting on Blake's bro I'm riched in my life.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Bra Blake Snell there the first and third pitches. Boy,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you hate to see Blake Snell have problems, don't you?
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Just a shame life. It's just so so depressed. It's
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: so sad. Ah you lose it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: First consecutive home runs to start a World Series game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: They've been playing the World Series a long time, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: nobody's a bigger suck bag than Blake Snell. Yes, Savage
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: shoved it down the Dodger's throats from there, and now
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room. Everyone
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: knows the better stories in the losing locker room. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that is where we will begin. And we were given
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the gift of a cringeworthy quote from the aforementioned Blake Snell,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: who was not only a pitcher, he was terrible. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: there's no other way to say it. So Snell just horrible.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: They should put him up on charges for him taking
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that Dodger money the way he was pitching there and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: lead off home.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Run and then another home run. Did you hear what
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: he had to say after the game? You did not?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: All?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Right? Fair enough? Blake Snell said, this is great.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: He thinks the reason he had his problems the World
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Series game here was because of two words.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Bad luck. I what a loser.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell says, luck plays in baseball. Two, he said,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: pointing out that he was of course, not his fault.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He made great pitches and they just happened to hit
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: him to the moon. All right, So that is a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the esteem panel. Dodger pitcher Blake Snell didn't want to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: get the rona blaming bad luck for his garbage performance.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: That is blank again.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Dodger pitcher Blake Snell blaming bad luck for his Garbage
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: World Series performance.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: That is blank. I saw I'll filming a blank in
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a minute.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: My thoughts though, Before we film in the blank, I've
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: got breakfast Cereal, Kurt Vovaqua and post office and we
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we're gonna
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we just have a delicious Smorgesborg of goodness. Now, hey,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: my word to fill in the blank, Dodger pitcher Blake
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Snell blaming bad luck for his garbage performance is blank.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: My word is gobbled the gook. That is my word,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: gobbled the gook, plain and simple. All right, that's it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That's my word. As Jayscoop, I haven't heard from him,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and ah, I hope he's all right. But Jay Scoop
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would say bullpucky is what he would say. He meaning,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell, you've just lost. Imagine this like a Disney commercial.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell, you've just lost both starts in the twenty
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: twenty five World Series. What are you gonna do next?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And Snell says, I'm gonna blame Frank Sinatra is.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: What I'm gonna do?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: What a dead musician? Yeah, remember that song, Luck Be
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a Lady. Apparently Luck the lady was not there. Lady
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was not there.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Really, Blake, that's your defense, that's your defense. You know
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: what this is?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: This is the breakfast serial defense from Blake Snell.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: What do I mean by that?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Instead of eating his lucky charms? Clearly Blake Snell had
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Captain Crunch because Toronto was crunching.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Everything he threw up there early in the game.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Now, bad luck is a longtime baseball term. The base
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It's like saying the baseball gods were against me. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: when I hear that, I always say, talk to the hand.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Now you can talk to the right hand, you can
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: talk to the left hand. Blake Snell gave up in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: eleven and two thirds innings, ten earned runs. Let me
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: repeat that for those of you that are intoxicated. Those
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: even in the back of the room that need to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: turn up your hearing aid. Blake Snell gave up ten
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: earned runs and eleven and two thirds innings of World
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Series Baseball. Now where I come from, and maybe I'm
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: wrong on this, I don't know. I just do an
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: overnight talk shows. That's not bad luck, that's bad pitching. Oh,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you're being such a shock chalk. That's what you hate
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. You're doing overnights. Yeah, I know all that stuff,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: all your defenses. Do you realize the domination for the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Toronto batters. The hitters were basically taking batting practice against
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: mister Cy Young. Mister Cy Young, in fact, I was
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: actually worried. This is how pathetic Blake Snell is. I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: was worried about these guys getting carpal tunnel from smashing
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the pitches so often that he threw up there. They
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: needed ice, that they needed some kind of risk therapy afterwards.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: This was not one bad outing, by the way, Patternicity.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: My friend Snell was awful in his first World Series
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: start this year, both times out, and you can't blame
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that on the Voodoo Bugaloo or whatever or Lady Luck anything.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And to think the Dodger handed this stiff one hundred
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and eighty two million dollars. They said, we need you
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to be We need you to be our October goat,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and Blake Snell said, yes, I want that. And instead
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of being a goat, he's looking for a scape goat.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Is what he's looking for, Like a soft served cone
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: melting on the big stage. And it's crazy because he
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: pitched in lowly Tampa Bay and was good in the world.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Said you put on that Dodger uniform and all of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you're riding the vomit comet.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: You're riding the vomit comet, is what you're doing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Here's a Blake Snell by the way, postgame, Blake Snell,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: who for some reason thought he was at a dog park.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it's fruscterrating when you lose. We got
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: we got two games left and we can go back
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: to Toronto and you know, see what kind of team
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: we got. That's that's the most important thing. See see
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: what kind of dogs are in this club, and then
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: what we can do.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you what kind of dogs.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: You have?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Dogs with fleas. You need a fleet back. These guys
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: need a fleetback.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Are.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: They're dogs with fleas. They are, they can hear them.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: There's a Dodge that's a Dodger clubhouse. We got a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: microphone in the Dodger clubhouse. There are a bunch of
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: dogs covered in fleas. So to me, the cherry on
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: top of all this, and I have long ranted howling
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: at the moon about the coddling of the professional athlete
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and the things that we used to do, or you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: overcame adversity. There is no adversity. These guys, like I said,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers travel like they're the royal family. They do
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: just just absolutely great. And they treated Blake Snell like
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a toddler. They coddled Blake Snell like a newborn baby.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Actually not even a toddler. Oh, Blake Keith, you know
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: he's very delicate. We're gonna manage his innings. Blake, you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: want to take three months off?
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: You want to do that? You know we'll save your
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: arm because we just need you for the world too.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll take three months off, Yes, pay me, I'll
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: take three months off. Sure, how's that ROI that return
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: on investment? Let's see here, Blake Snell World Series right,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he will not pitch again. Be shocked if he does
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: eight point zero four era. In the twenty twenty five
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: World Series, Dodgers lost both games. Toronto batted three to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: eleven against Blake Snell paid him one hundred and eighty
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: two million dollars to go out there and defecate on
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the mound. Tremendous all right, Now, now we get to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: everyone else's bashing the offense. I want to hey, listen,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that's low hanging for you know, we have a pass
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: with Blake Snell going back to the pandemic.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: But I ain't playing this. I get mine.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Bro, Well, I guess you're not winning. Un list you
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: got yours, but you got yours and you're still not winning. Now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: as for the offense, we've been told that this roster
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: is filled with Hall of famers, that they are loaded
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest baseball teams ever assembled by man,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a collection of MVPs and All Stars and batting champions,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and we've witnessed them come apart at the seams. Now,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the face of this baseball catastrophe, his Mookie Betts was
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: playing like Dookie if you know what I mean. Not good,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: not good at all. The former most Valuable player is
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: batting a buck thirty. It's like having back when he
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: used to have pictures hit.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Other than Otani.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's like that having a pitcher in the lineup buck thirty.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: In the World Series, he was demoted in the lineup.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: He was dropped down on the lineups. Dave Roberts and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the nerds finally decided, you know, I think we should
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: maybe do something.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: But the analytics said, don't do anything. Okay, we'll do something.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Oh well, but they said don't do anything. So the
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: nerds shook up the lineup.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: They benched Andy Pyez and Mookie Bets demoted down a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: spot in the lineup, and he went.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Over for.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: So it turns out Mookie sucks whether he's batting second
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: or third in the Doger lineup.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Not good.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Do we have this Mookie post game? I don't know
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: if we do or not. We do, Okay, apparently we do,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: all right, So here's Mookie Bets. This is the viral SoundBite. Postgame,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Mookie was asked about his new level of suckage in
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the World Serious.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Heies what he had to say.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I don't want to speak on anybody else, but for
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: me personally, I've just been terrible.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You've been terrible, and there's no I wish it was
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: from lack of effort. I really do, but it's not.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: So Yeah, I don't have any I.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Was cut off good editing, He said, I don't have
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: any answers?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Who edited that?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: By the way, I mean, just leave the word answers
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: in there. It's not that hard, all right. Question, What
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: is your opinion of Mookie Bets taking responsibility with his
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I've just been terrible quote for his lousy play in
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five World Series for the Dodgers. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: my reaction is, thank you very much, Mookie. The sky
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is blue right to the U and I the sky
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: is no kidding, Mookie. I mean, we've got TVs, we've
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got radios. We've been watching, we've been listening. You're batting
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a buck thirty. You don't get credit for self awareness.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: When the numbers are.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Tattooed on the jumbo tron.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: They're all up there, right they're batting it now, right now.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Mookie Bets looks like a guy walking into the deli
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and he's ordering a sandwich. He says, I don't want
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the Pastrami simms, how about a turkey? I don't need
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a Turkey Simmis. Let me get that number seven. What's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the number seven. That's the panic sandwich. Mookie's eating a
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: panic sandwich. And you don't need any clutch hits. Hold
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the clutch hits on the panic sandwich. Can I get
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: some extra whiffs? Can I get some extra pop ups?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I need that? Yeah? Sure, why not? We'll give you
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: extra pop ups.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It's the freaking World Series, pal, And you can't suck
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: like I mean, you're sucking at a time you cannot suck.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: That's the definition of this. Now more evidence. As my professor,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the Great Dick Stockton taught me years ago, stat's tell
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you what has happened, not what's going to happen. If
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you just base this World Series on reputation and the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: numbers on the back of the baseball card, the Dodgers
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: would have already won the World Series. But unfortunately they
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: have to play the games. And right now, what has happened?
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: All those MVPs and so called stars. They're treated like
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the royals when they travel, are playing like Little League
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: B team guys. If I owned the Dodgers, I would
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: make these stiffs fly to Toronto on Spirit Airlines. As punishment,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I would make them fly Spirit Airlines. They'd have to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: pay for their own luggage. That's what I would do now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: The late great Tommy Lasorda, may he rest in peace.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And I was lucky enough to know Tommy. But Tommy
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: would say the Dodgers right now have a lot of
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Kurt Bovakua's.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: In their lineups. It's one of the all time great drops.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: If you're too young to know it, it's on.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: The YouTube and it was one of the great rants
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: underrated rant by the Sorta and he would say, these
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: guys couldn't hit water.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: If they fell out a frick boat. The Dodgers are hitting.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Two hundred, two hundred in the World Series two hundred.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize the Blue listen. I took the Blue
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Jays lightly. They're pitching. I didn't know they were filled
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: with all these cy young winners. Max Munsey buck fifty,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Tommy Edmund, Tommy Tanks is tanking the world hit a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: buck forty three, and then the gold standard Mookie Bets
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: buck thirty, buck thirty. Holy crap on a cracker now,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gundy, I know it's a basketball guy, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Van Gundy's famously said it's a make or miss league. Well,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Baseball two, you're whiffing early, you're whiffing off and the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays what they ought to do is send a
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: fleet of limos to the hotel there in Toronto. Make
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: sure Munsey and Tommy Edmund and Will Smith and Mookie Bets,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: all these guys get to the stadium in comfort. Because
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: right now, the Dodgers, if you look in that clubhouse,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: it's an art exhibit. And what kind of art is it?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: That would be the choke art exhibit? The choke artists
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I got now, don't get me wrong, Okay, do knocket
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: me wrong. I appreciate Mookie Bets owning it. I just
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: don't need a confession at this moment. The series isn't over.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I would like to get a couple of hits. I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: would enjoy a couple of home runs. That would be
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: pretty nice, or at least a Ribby single. How about that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: It's the world series. This is not therapy. Okay, I'm
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: not that kind of fan.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of fanboys out there and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: told liquors that will love that and say, oh we
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: love you, MOOKI It's.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's not me. That's not me.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Oya.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Accountability is nice. I just happen to like production a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: little bit better I do.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I like production, and you can apologize all you want.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, when you look at the box score, it does
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: not accept my bad bro, it does not accept that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: All right, last word to the Toronto side of things,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and what a performance was by trey Ya Savage of
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. The quote from the Blue Jays from
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior, lad who got it done again. Here's
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the Toronto star, Vladimir Gerraire, who said, quote the job
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: is not done yet. Close quote said that through a translator.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: All right, question, what is the vibe? What is the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: vibe around the Blue Jays right now at this moment.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So the vibe is the schnazola. You can smell the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: championship bubbly, you can smell it. The Dodgers are practically
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: handing Toronto the World Series. They are the beneficiary of
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the generosity, the act of charity of the Dodgers. They've
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: gift wrapped it. They've thrown on a bow which looks
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: pretty nice. It's a Dodger blue bow. And the J's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: now they just got to make sure they don't fumble.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Don't fumble the gift, all right, don't fumble it, don't
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: trip at the post office, don't break it, don't do that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And the fact that the Dodgers have collectively gone in
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the witness protection program, and this tray.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Is savage doing things.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: That the greatest of the greats have done in the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: World Series, getting a lot of help from the anemic
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Dodger hitters. There guy's been in Major League Baseball for
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: about five minutes and made the Big Bad Dodgers look
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: like a slow pitch Beer League softball team on the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: weekends there and surgical slicing them up. No contest the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: last couple of games. So what does all this mean
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: for Toronto? It is yours to lose. The Dodgers were
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the big bad bully. They're no longer the big bad bully.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Toronto's up three to two. Home cooked poutin ahead, home
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: cooked poutin ahead.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: But remember.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero showed up wearing a maple leafs jersey to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I think it was the first game in the World Series.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Remember correctly, and that'll come back to haunt you if
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: you blow these last two games.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, the maple leafs are in that town.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: They're the definition of choke artists, and so just don't choke.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Got Vlattie saying job's not done good, it's not. And
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it's been a long time since Joe Carter and then
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: you know, hit the Ball to the Moon and Mitch
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Williams and all that ninety three. So you finish the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: job now or you become another cautionary tale in Canadian
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: sports misery.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: And there's a long, long, big board of that. So
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: you can smell it, right, there's a champagne there. You
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: can smell the champagne.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It's amazing, can smell It's not open. One more win
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and Yama Moto on the mount. The problem with Yamamoto
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: pitch great game. The Dodgers, if they don't get their
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: head out of it, took us. They got this tight
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Tukas syndrome. It doesn't matter. So Dodgers are like zombies.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But we've seen those zombie apocalypse movies and we know
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: how that can turn around and be a fairly bad thing.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are pretty much begging Toronto to end
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the World Series in game six, and that's it. Just
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I would advise you to not trip over the red
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: carpet on your way to the parade. And it's like
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: they say in politics, don't measure for the curtains. Yet
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you haven't won the election, so just get to wait
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: for the election to end, the results to come in,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and then we'll see where you stand.

• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Baseball Hour last and I see some of you guys
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: who want to talk about the World Series.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I'm open to that.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I'm here all night. I got nothing else to do.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: They're paying me to be here, so we'll talk about
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the World Series. But our lead this hour is from Baltimore. Baltimore,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the home was Sports with Coleman. Now the Ravens are
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: set for the island life. Lamar Jackson, he's back, baby.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Allegedly, he leads the.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Ravens traveling circus into South Florida for a matchup with
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Tua Tongue of I Loa and the Dolphins. Will Thursday
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: night action and no World Series game to distract you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: from that, although it appears no one was distracted by
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the World Series the other night when the Monday Night
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Football played anyway. Lamar Jackson's injury reports status has been
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: a hot topic of conversation here, and a lot of
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: NFL people with their stick up, their tuk us up
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: in arms here NFL scrutinizing the improprieties, if you will,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the way the Ravens handled the injury report. Jackson was
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: initially listed as a full participant in Ravens practice. He
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: was then downgraded to limited and then ruled out of
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the game against the Chicago Bears. The Ravens would win
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that game. And of course the gambling part of it,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the gambling element is a big deal. People bet money
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: on these games, and they bet money based on information
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the NFL gives out. If they give out shady information,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: it becomes a problem. Now it turns out, even if
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you bet on the Ravens, you didn't think the Ravens
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: was gonna win because Lamar wasn't playing, you know the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: outcome if you bet on the Ravens, they actually surprised
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they won the game. But the Ravens clarify that Jackson
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: participated fully in the practice. They just said he did
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: not take starter reps. That was the spin coming out
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of Baltimore. Then that led to the change in the status.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Now the NFL is said to be investigating.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that'll be great.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: They want to ensure compliance. Blah blah blah blah blah
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. But that's not the story.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: The story here entering the chat now is Mike Preston.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Now you might not know who that is if you're
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: not from Baltimore.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: He's a long.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Time sports columnist in Baltimore. This guy has seen and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: done a thing or two. He's been around the block.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: He knows where all the bodies are buried in Baltimore sports.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So anyway, he popped up on the b More Sports
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: podcast with My Guy Sports with Coleman, And normally when
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I get sent to stuff, I just ignore it, but
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I thought this was really, really interesting.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: And I wanted to kind of.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Bite into it because Mike Preston, who knows where all
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the bodies are buried in Baltimore sports, he told My
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Guy Sports with Coleman that Lamar Jackson essentially torpedoed John Harball.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: That's what he's hearing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: That the Ravens were actually right there, they covered for
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, that it was a last second switch a
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: roue by Lamar, that he did not want to play,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That Lamar Jackson was supposed to play, he was cleared
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to play, and he chose not to play at the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: last minute. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss. We're gonna base this monologue off this report.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: So question, do you believe the chatter that Lamar Jackson,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: multi time MVP, tapped out of the raven game against
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears at the last minute, and then the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Ravens are covering for him by claiming it was a misunderstanding.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: So my observation on this, I've got Uncle Drew.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Crystal mal and Tomahawk.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: we're going to clean up. There's a spill, supermarcut, Steve
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: tells me on Aisle seven. So we're gonna clean up
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Aisle seven.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: So number.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I said, number wh okay on this one, do you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: believe Lamar Jackson tapped out? I am drinking the kool
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: aid because the Ravens say what you want about him,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna f it up that bad. Like, it
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: is completely logical that that is what happened, Lamar Jackson
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: tapped out, not that John Harbaugh fed up that bad.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I think the much.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: More reasonable conclusion, if you look at this objectively, is
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the Ravens are now covering for Lamar. They're gonna get ding.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll lose a sixth round draft pick or something
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like that. There's a lot of meat on the bone
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and this guy knows a lot. He said, Lamar was
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: cleared but didn't feel like playing. That to me, is
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a smoking gun. Follow the bread crumbs, Follow the bread crumbs.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: The Ravens, if this is report, if this Wark's accurate,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the Ravens are, yeah. The doctors, the medical staff's like,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you're good to go, and Lamar's like, okay, I'll get
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: out there practice a little bit.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: And he's like, nah, I don't feel like it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Play Thursday. Like, to me, that checks out Jackson. From
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: what we understand, he runs the show. He's the one
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that wears the pants.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: There.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: The Ravens have supposedly changed everything to accommodate Lamar. He
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't like getting up early, so they practiced later in
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Like everything they do is to accommodate Lamar, which is
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: what you do with a star player, right.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: The Patriots not to the same degree, but they looked
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: out for Tom Brady, the team's Peyton Manning played for it,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: looked out for him.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: That's that's how it works.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: So John harbaughf this is correct. Lamar is not just
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. He's running the show over there. So John
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh is an underling. He's caught in a pickle jar
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and we know nobody likes pickles other than Alf the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Alien punter, but it's Lamar's and everyone else is just
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: kind of rent in space, right, and it would be
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the ultimate power move that he knows. The Ravens can't
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: call him out publicly because he's the face of the franchise.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: They would get roasted.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: So instead the Ravens just have to eat it, and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: they just have to take it. And so Lamar's got
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the leverage, He's got all the awards, and he's you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: he's the total late late hour, late night ego guy.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: You know, last minute, eleventh hour load management decision, the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Uncle Drew of football or Kyrie Irving with shoulder pads
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: all that, and so it makes sense he was it
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: was clear to play, and then he's like, wait a minute,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: we got to play. I play on Sunday, and then
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I gotta play five days late. I can play twice
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: in five days. I'm gonna make a business decision, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss the Bears game because that's just a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: normal game on a Sunday afternoon. But I want to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: play in that time time game, and I want to
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: play in Miami because that's where all my friends are
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: because I'm from there, So I want to play in
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: South Florida.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, done deal? Why not? Now?
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: According to the Ravens, they're like, it was just a
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it was some miscommunication.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: But wouldn't it be miscommunication? Riddle me this, Batman.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be miscommunication if if the Ravens and Lamar
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: thought together he was going to play and then last
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: minute Lamar changed his mind. That's a miscommunication. So they're
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: not lying when they say miscommunication. They're covering for the player,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: is what they're doing. And Lamar has been running this team.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: It's a one man act for Lamar for years.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Now. Speaking of that, the other part of.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: This, which is very, very juicy with Lamar Jackson, there's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: now at least some smoke billowing up that Lamar Jackson's
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: days could be numbered in Baltimore.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's an outrageous thing to say. Uh,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: just go with it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: So again, I go back to the aforementioned this guy,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Mike Preston, who was on with My Guy Sports with
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Coleman on his podcast, and Mike Preston's like, hey, listen,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: he's all he just kind of floated this out casually,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: you know, casually floated out that there's a shot this
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson's final season with the Poets. This could
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: be it's I believe you're eight and that's that's all.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: She wrote that he would enter the transfer portal and betrayed.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: So the question sounds outrageous.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Right, Oh my god, what is wrong with you Overnight
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Talk your hosts? Are you desperate for ratings? So what
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: are the odds question?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: What are the odds that the Ravens move on from
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson? So for this we have turned to the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Malor sports Book. Yeah, we've turned the Mallard Sports Book,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the Mallard Sports Book Gods, the unofficial odds direct from

• 32:07
  Speaker 1: So the Mallard Sportsbook Gods plus nine hundred plus nine
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: hundred right now, that implies about a ten percent chance
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: a one hundred hitter, which is almost where Mookie Bets
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: is in the world. Here's a little bit better than that.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: So essentially you've got Mookie Bets up there needing a hit.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: The chances of Mookie bets getting a hit are about
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the same as the Ravens saying bye bye to Lamar Jackson.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: So it means it's not.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Likely, but it's possible. It's not fantasy land either, you
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: get the bat in the hands. Lamar's twenty eight. He's
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: got a fair amount of mileage now because he's taken
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of hits, played a good amount of football
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: over the years, and when he was playing earlier there
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: were a lot of mistakes. It was a stumblebump offense.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: They ran hot and cold before the injury. He's been
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: hurt for a while, been out for a month or so,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: and you're obviously not trading him now. And no one's
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: saying the Ravens to trade Lamar Jackson mid season. But
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: in the offseason the Ravens don't make the playoffs, or
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: they make the playoffs and lose on the wild card weekend.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Then things get spicy.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Now, who would go big game hunting for Lamar Jackson?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And he said, well, everyone would want Lamar Jackson, And
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Looking into my crystal ball,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: maryber Lamar was a free agent essentially, well not a
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: total freezing.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: But he could have left the Ravens.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Nobody wanted him, nobody made a runner him, which is
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: outrageous considering that he went back to the Ravens and
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: he put up amazing great regular season ballplayer. So looking
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: into my crystal ball, the obvious one is the team
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the Ravens are playing tonight, the Miami Dolphins, hometown kid.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Dolphins have been pathetic since Dan Marino, who's old, So
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: bring in Lamar Jackson. How about the Saints desperate for
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit of positivity and to buy you there,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: maybe holding a top five pick.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know how they.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Don't hold the top five pick. You'd think they'd have
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: to have a top five pick.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: The Jets also can already see Woody Johnson drooling the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: tabloid fodder, actually positive tabloid headlines. Now, if the Ravens
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: were to trade Lamar, what would this be? This pin
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: would be, well, you know, listen, we hate to give
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: up a player like this, but you use the old
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick line where Belichick saf you trade a guy
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: a year earlier than instead of a year late, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they'd have to throw some negative stories out in the
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: media of the Ravens to bury Lamar. When you trade
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: a popular player, you attack their character and a certain
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: percentage of fans will shift to your side. Is if
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Lamar's act is legitimately wearing thin, if people internally in
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the building are annoyed and like, he just screwed us
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: over here, he torpedoed us with his latest move. If
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the Ravens everyone's got their breaking point right, if this
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: becomes a tinder box.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: And the problem is, obviously it would be a new
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: t on bomb.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: If you trade Lamar Jackson after the season, you'd blow
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: up a bunch of stuff. You'd reset the quarterback market
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: around the league and all that stuff.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: And it is unlikely, however, if your.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Baltimore and people start sending your text messages and all that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you look, you.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Know, you don't put your plane on airplane mode or
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: your phone on airplane mode. Because as great as Lamar
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: has been, and I never thought he would be this good,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I was skeptical of Lamar, and he's been a wonderful
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: player from September to December. There's hardly anyone you would
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: want a quarterback from September to December than Lamar Jackson.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: The problem is in January. In January, he turns into
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a jack o' lantern and that's a problem. That's a problem.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: The Ravens have squeezed the juice, a lot of juice
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: from the orange and now they've got to ask is
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the pulp left worth the headache?
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: That's up to them all, right, final point.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: We go now to Jersey, the swamp lands of New Jersey,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: where one of the worst teams in ball has made
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a rather bizarre move. The question where are you at
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: on the one in seven j Tes?
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Suck?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Suck, suck, the one in seven Jets raising season ticket prices.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: For next year.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those of you a little
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: slow because you're working in a factory, or driving a truck,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: or laying in a hospital bed wishing you could.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Get out of there.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: So the question where are you at the one in
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: seven Jets raising season ticket prices.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: For the upcoming year? No they didn't, Yes they did.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: This is a classic tone deaf ownership move. It's Johnson
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: and Johnson and dumb and dumber. How do you sell
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a product that stinks and charge more for it when
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: every man, woman and child knows the product's a bad product. Seriously,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it's like selling a car. And then if you go
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: over fifty miles in the car, the car shuts off
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: and you can't drive it for a day.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Who would buy that car? No one would buy that car.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: It's a good looking car, though, you'd want to buy
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: that No, it's not. It's not right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: So you've got a franchise that's allergic to winning, and
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: their idea of fan appreciation is a extra surcharge unfailure.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: It would be like going to a nice steakhouse and
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: tipping your waiter for forgetting to bring you your Tomahawks steak.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tip you anyway because you smiled at me,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: but you didn't. You didn't get your Tomahawks steak. I know,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: but you were nice to me and I didn't. I
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: wanted it, but you didn't give it to me. So
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tip you anyway. What's the message the Jets
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: are essentially saying, and you can correct me if you
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: wanted this, But to me, the Jets are saying, yeah,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: we're terrible, but you're still so dumb you're gonna show
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: up anyway.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: It is a captive audience.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Jets fans are chumps from Fireman d On and you're
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: all a bunch of trumps. You got your little green
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: jerseys there, you got your face paint, and you're standing
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: in line, wrapped around the building, online, wrapped around the building,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: right around the block there to get punched in the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: face every Sunday.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Now, some pr flak for the team actually.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Tried to spin it, saying that the affordable seats are
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: not increasing. Oh great, so the people sitting in the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: stratosphere near the pearly gates get a mercy rule and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the excuse and this is great, My god, is this
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: a great excuse? The Jets pr flack said, well, because
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we lost a game to London. We had to play
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: a game in London, so they have to punish the
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: fans in the Tri State area because they played a
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: game in London. That is not a reason to raise prices.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: That is a reason to issue refunds. You're literally charging
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: your fans more for less. That is it's called duggery
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: one o one dress it up with body spray and
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: spin and hope that the suckers don't notice the shell game.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: It's like the old Times Square before Disney bought it
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: all and cleaned it up. Man, that was there were
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: peep shows and three card Monty. You could buy any
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: kind of handbags you wanted. In Times Square, it was
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: a total sesspool. Now it's all different, But it's like that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: It's like the Jets are playing three card Monty here
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and Jets fans they should get hazard pay, not invoices.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: They should get hazard pay. And the Jets. Most teams
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: try to sell hope, they hope we get better. The
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Jets are selling a habit. It's like fentanyl.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's not good for you, but
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: it's you know you like it, but no, it's not good.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't do that. Now they know their fans, we'll
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: keep paying and keep chanting say suck, suck, suck, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: they'll keep serving up the slop. As long as the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: fans buy the slop. It's a sucker's paradise. The team stinks,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the ownership stinks, the players stink, the coaches blow.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: And the fans think, I guess that's that's a good thing.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: And they just want to want to have the privilege
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: of buying tickets to watch the poop show. It is
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the Ben Malor Show, which may or may not be
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: a poop show, depending on whether you like the hogwash
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: or not. If you'd like to be part eight seven

• 40:53
  Speaker 8: Kooblop, a Cowboys insider, reported on Tuesday that the team
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: has quote not engaged in contract extension talks of wide
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: receiver George Pickens or his representatives.
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: Some believe this means the Cowboys could ultimately decide to
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: trade Pickens before the deadline.
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: Could you see that happening?
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: There is a better chance, Coup, that you sign a
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: contract on the practice squad with the Cowboys than George
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Pickens is traded between now and the deadline.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Not gonna happen. Not gonna happen.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: You know, Jerry's futzing around with a bunch of stuff,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't you know? Piggins not necessarily gonna stay there because
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: the problem is Pickens wants to be a number one receiver.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: He won't be a number one there because they already
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: have a number one receiver.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: They're paying a lot of money too, so they're not
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: gonna put him as the number one. But he will
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: not be traded because the Cowboys are like a faux contender.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: They're not a real contender. They're a full contender. Next.
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: Davos Sweeney spoke with the media in the wake of
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: Brian Kelly's firing by LSU and said, quote, You've got
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: a lot of really good football coaches that have won
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: a lot of games, but they're getting fired because they
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: really haven't won championships. And you've got others that want
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: you fired even though you've won championships. I wonder who
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: he's talking about. Ben, Do you think Sweeney could be next?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's all First of all, just because you want
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: a championship or two doesn't mean you have lifetime employment. Secondly,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: it's all about the daddy, the sugar daddy it Clemson's
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: got to find a guy to pay off Dabosweeney and
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: they'll fire him next.
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: The Greek Freak was asked about a report that claimed
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: he had contemplated to trade and the Knicks were the
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: only team on his wish list. Giannis responded saying, I
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: don't remember that, and then change the subject. Then you
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: think Janics gets traded the season?
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I would say there's a forty five percent chance. It
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: depends how good the Bucks are when we get to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline, which is in February. We got many
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: many games, many months to go before that. But if
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: they suck, yeah, how'd we doubt you passed this decision?
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: That is a win. Put it on the ball, just
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: like the Green Goblin. I got the win.

• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I'll go in the ground.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: Lorena.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I want to be made into one of those
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: tree pods.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: And I want to be made into a peach tree
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: so that I supply juicy peaches the rest of my life.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Wonderful. That's a what kind of tree?
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: Peach tree?
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Okay? Cool?
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: I want to be frozen with Ted Williams.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Oh in Arizona?
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: Is that where he is?
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: That's who the rumor was he was in Arizona.
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, shows me.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Great when he comes back and plays for the Red Sox.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be the biggest gap between right and Walt
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Disney's gonna imagine if Walt Disney came back and said,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: what have you done to Disney?
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: He'd be so mad. You are douging people?
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: What is what is next?
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: Ferg Dog would like to know, Hi, Fergie, do you
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: like scary movies? Do you have a favorite?
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: No? I never really got into scary movies. I tried
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: to because all the cool kids in school were into
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: scary movies, and.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I just never That was never my thing. And I
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: saw them, and I mean when I was younger, I
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: was like Friday the thirteenth. I'm old, so that was
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: like real popular, but I never really was my thing.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: What about you, Lorena?
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: The Ring and Insidious are probably my two favorites.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: All right, what about you, Cooper Loop, Silence of the
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Lambs by far Well, that's the class.
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: What's so scary about Silent Lambs?
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: I'm moving on. We'll have Loraina give a tutorial on
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: how to use a microwave later.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: All right, Donkey sausage, Hi, Donkey. I would like to know.
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: As a kid, did you ever trade out your Halloween
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: candy and what would you trade for? Oh?
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I had two brothers.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I was closer with my older brothers in age, so
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: we would go out and we did a lot of trades.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: The move at the Mallard mansion was we'd pour all
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: the candy out. We had pillow cases, we had. That's
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: how holl we took pill Caise. We'd pour all the
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: candy out, and then there was the trading process, you know,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: because my brother was kind of more into the gummy
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: candies and I'm more of a chocolate guy, and so
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of trading that would go on there,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: and then we'd we'd both agree we didn't want the
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: apple stuff, you know, the neighbors that wanted.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: To give the kids healthy food, so we didn't want that.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: What about you, Lorraina, Oh my gosh.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was a big Snickers fan, so I would
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: all want my brothers Snickers. I would trade my kit Cat. Yes,
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: I did the same thing, traded the kit Cats for
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: Snickers every time.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't mind trading. I felt like KitKat was perfect.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I was a big baby Ruth. Butterfinger guy, those were
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: my I love those. I felt like in combo they
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: kind of went together, and so I went with those.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: But I would trade KitKat all I got in trouble.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: One of the friends of my wife listens to the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: show and he loves almond Joy, who was pointing out
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: that was always the least popular candy, and he apparently
• 46:32
