1:42
the very beautiful Ariel Epstein.
1:45
Ariel, what's up? Hey guys, happy Wednesday.
1:49
Oh my gosh, that's like my 30th birthday and you can hear my
1:53
dogs barking too. I'm at my parents house because
1:56
I dropped my dog off so I can go to Boston tomorrow for Premier
1:59
Lacrosse. So we've got three dogs in the
2:01
house. Boston.
2:03
Boston. Could you?
2:03
Could you pronounce it? No, I'm a New Yorker.
2:07
It's against. All right, say I'm a New Yorker
2:09
too. So we say Boston and, and I've
2:11
gone, I've gone to Boston and, and the first thing they say to
2:16
me when they ask me, first of all, they know I'm from New York
2:20
and I and I always wear a Yankee hat when I'm in Boston.
2:24
It doesn't matter. I went to Cheers one time and
2:27
I'll never forget it. My friend told me when you go to
2:29
Cheers, don't wear anything Yankees.
2:32
When you walk through that door, they're going to kill you.
2:35
I'll never forget it. I was wearing my job at Chapel.
2:38
Yes. Not at cheers, though.
2:39
I did it to Fenway for a Red Sox, Rays game what have nothing
2:43
to do with the Yankees. And I was about 14 years old and
2:47
I went with my grandparents. But whatever, I said, Grandpa,
2:50
you better fight for me, because if they try to beat me up, I
2:53
don't care. Well, that that's a funny story.
2:55
I walked into cheers and I was wearing my Jabba Chamberlain
2:57
jersey and I I show Jabba. I don't own a lot of Yankee
3:00
jerseys except I only put my name on it, but I have Jabba's
3:04
jersey and I wore it in and they said tell that fat ass that go
3:07
back to where he's from. That's what they said when I
3:10
walked through the walked for their.
3:11
Daughter sounds about right. Yeah, well, it is.
3:13
Amazing. You'll still see 60 twos going
3:15
around the stadium. Speaking of 62, I got to to show
3:19
you something. I've got something handmade for
3:22
the old. Now Jabba does not like to be
3:25
called Joba. He doesn't.
3:27
So I told Jabba and the same thing I did for Nick Goody,
3:30
another X Yankee that's on the show.
3:32
I had to get his college jersey. So I got a Nebraska made jersey
3:36
with Jabba and guess what? I got right on the back.
3:39
You ready fans, ready to look at this?
3:40
Ready. Read this.
3:46
So. I got it spelled Joe BA.
3:48
OK, so for Jabba, I did it for him.
3:51
I posted we're going to be posting up on social media.
3:53
He absolutely despises it. And and I always put this drop
3:57
over here, Drobba, as we always do Droba.
4:00
And it pisses Jabba off. It makes he makes these weird
4:02
faces and he says, if I ever see I'm going to smack the you know
4:05
what out of you. So hey, you know what?
4:07
I might as well. I didn't realize until I left
4:09
New York how many different variations of Ariel there are.
4:14
So New Yorkers say it, Ariel, like normal, but then you'll go
4:17
Ariel, Ariel, Ariel. I had no idea until I moved to
4:22
North Carolina. Yeah, well, my name is Errol,
4:25
and I hate when they call me Ariel and that I hear egg roll.
4:29
I hear all these names. I hear all this, this, this
4:32
stupidity. Earl.
4:34
I hear Earl and I hate. You just say egg.
4:36
Roll. Oh yeah, I've heard, I've heard
4:38
Errol egg roll. You get it.
4:40
You know, I've heard all different things.
4:43
Everybody tries to transition or translate my name.
4:47
You know, my brother was one of those guys that.
4:49
Yeah, I, I used to pick up my brother all the time.
4:51
And, and I, my brother and I hopefully he's not listening.
4:55
He has these these weird nipples when he was a kid, they used to
4:59
poke out. They used to poke out of I'm
5:02
just telling you it's funny. And he used to wear these shirts
5:06
and my brother does not go in swimming pools anymore without
5:10
wearing AT shirt because he's afraid that those things will
5:12
poke out. He like I used to call him
5:14
silver dollars. So I used to tell everybody that
5:17
I have how many brothers and sisters you have?
5:19
I said I have three sisters and I gave my brother.
5:22
So I have Helena, Samantha and Susie.
5:26
That's what I and people will say, wait a second, don't you
5:28
have a brother? No, he's my sister.
5:30
So long story I make, I want to throw this in.
5:34
Today's world and like that that's it's acceptable in some
5:39
parts of the world. And you can't about it I.
5:43
Don't want to get myself into trouble here, you know.
5:45
I know now you're going to get us in, I'm going to get
5:47
cancelled and then he cancelled me.
5:50
Yeah. My bad droba droba.
5:54
My rear end is burning. Anyways, Ariel, you, you're
5:57
doing some crazy stuff right now.
6:00
Sports betting has become an all time big thing all over the
6:04
country now. It's legalized in in so many
6:07
states. Here in New York, it's it was a
6:09
multi billion dollar industry last year.
6:12
Tell us a little bit about why you decided to start Obviously
6:17
Prop Queen Sports. So I always called prop betting
6:21
the gateway drug into gambling from fantasy.
6:23
So that's kind of what happened for me.
6:26
As soon as gambling got legalized, I was like, wow, I
6:29
don't really understand spreads, totals and money lines, but I
6:32
understand props because I've been playing fantasy sports
6:35
since I was nine. It was when everyone in Vegas.
6:39
So I got into the media side of sports betting in 2019 and
6:43
everybody in Vegas was spreads, totals, money, lines.
6:46
I said, how am I going to differentiate myself from these
6:48
people who have been doing this for 40 years?
6:51
Like I'm 20 what, 2526 at the time.
6:54
And so I said, OK, I'll do the props because that was such an
6:58
East Coast thing. Strikeout props was actually
7:01
what the Prop Queen name started off of.
7:03
I didn't even like the name. I wasn't the one that started
7:06
it. People just started calling me
7:07
Prop Queen because I was the one that came on the shows giving
7:10
out prop vetting information. I was the only one doing it when
7:13
everything started really getting legalized and it kind of
7:16
just blew up from there that the Prop Queen name became a brand.
7:18
And in the last year I became very sick of working for other
7:22
people, Everybody in this business.
7:25
I had like 5 jobs in five years. No fault of my own, except that
7:28
every company that hired me hired me for great money and
7:31
then decided to fold the gambling department after a
7:34
year. Every single time.
7:37
So it just made the most sense to go out on my own and start
7:40
the prop queen brand. Kind of like this is the way the
7:42
generation is now. Everybody's just going on their
7:45
own and making their own brands and getting their own deals as
7:49
opposed to bringing like I did at MLB Network, for example.
7:52
But MGM came and started branding my stuff.
7:55
But the MLB networks, all that money I just got paid my normal
7:58
salary for MLB. So it just makes the most sense
8:02
at this point to they'll do those things as an independent
8:05
contractor because obviously everything is still great and I
8:08
love working for those places, but building a brand these days
8:11
is the most important. Yeah, and we've obviously seen
8:14
what you've done. I want to touch on some.
8:16
You were, you were real excited at the start of your show today
8:19
about how you can't you don't like guys that go and break up,
8:23
no hitters that used to be Yankees and specifically Soto
8:27
and Sanchez. You, I mean, I, I do watch a
8:30
show, obviously. And I was like, well, she, this
8:33
really hits her deep right now. Like especially with Gavin
8:36
today, I was like, man, they're like, she's really invested in
8:40
this. One, so the background on Gavin
8:42
and I is, and you probably could attest to this being from
8:45
Nebraska, small town. When I was a sports anchor in
8:48
North Carolina for three years, I got to see a lot of really
8:51
young talent like Mackenzie Gore is from down there too, Brandon
8:55
Ingram is from there, Bruce Carter is from there there,
9:00
Jerry Stackhouse is from there. So there are so many huge names.
9:04
And Todd Gurley at that time too, was big.
9:06
That came through Eastern North Carolina.
9:09
Gavin Williams pitched at East Carolina University and I was
9:12
already, I think my second year at in Greenville at that point.
9:18
And they told us that this kid is a freshman.
9:21
He's going to make his debut out of the bullpen.
9:25
He throws over 100, but he's wild like he would threw wild at
9:28
the time, But this kid was like a stick.
9:30
He was tall, but a stick, but threw over 100.
9:33
And he did like first pitch out of the gates, out of the
9:35
bullpen, throws over 100. It was Gavin Williams.
9:38
And I'm standing there and it turns out as I'm shooting the
9:41
game as a local sports anchor, like you have to shoot your own
9:44
highlights sitting behind on plate.
9:46
I'm shooting the game. His grandma is sitting next to
9:49
me. So now I every single game for
9:51
two years and sitting next to his grandparents.
9:54
They got season tickets. They sat behind on play for all
9:57
his, all his, whether it was the bullpen, starting, whatever.
10:00
So I got to really know his family through covering Gavin
10:04
all his career. And then it was really cool when
10:06
he made his Major League debut and then he came to Yankee
10:08
Stadium for the first time. So I used my MLB credential.
10:12
I went down to the field, said, hey, to him.
10:14
It was such a full circle moment.
10:15
I was at MLB Network, he was pitching.
10:17
So I was actually talking with him after the game today and I
10:21
was like, you good like Jabba. You would know I'm sitting there
10:24
devastated for this kid that he gave up a number hitter to Juan
10:28
Soto after being 2 outs away. And he goes, well, Soto's really
10:33
good. I said I know, but you all said
10:36
no hitter. He said, no, I'm cool.
10:38
Like I'm really happy with the way today went.
10:41
Yeah, not only not only the no hitter though it it blew a
10:43
shutout too, which sucks. Yeah, but I feel like at that
10:47
point after you blow the no hitter whatever for a shutout,
10:50
but A1 hitter against the Mets? I said this to a friend of mine
10:53
who's a Mets fan. I said the cool thing is you've
10:56
seen a lot of no hitters go against like the Athletics or
10:59
the White Sox. This Mets team is a good team.
11:02
Like they're a good lineup, not recently, but like overall
11:05
that's a really tough lineup to throw a no hitter against.
11:08
So I thought. Easy.
11:09
The Yankees almost got no hit, too.
11:10
Like, let's, I mean, we had two hits of it, yeah.
11:13
So the Yankees stink. Don't get me started.
11:16
I'm a Yankee fan. They stink.
11:20
And it's horrible. And here's the thing, I'd rather
11:23
my bats be cold like the Rangers then have horrible fundamentals
11:28
and inability to field simple balls in the infield.
11:31
Like at least your bats eventually.
11:34
And the Rangers really hasn't. But when you go cold in a
11:37
lineup, it stinks. But things heat up.
11:40
Like you like your lineup at some point is bound to heat up.
11:43
That's just baseball. But fundamentally being
11:47
ridiculously horrible, especially when the Dodgers game
11:52
plan was outwardly to take advantage of how bad your
11:56
defense is in the World Series and you didn't even fix it.
12:01
Like it's embarrassing. Yeah, I wanted to reference the
12:04
video you had. I think yesterday I saw on the
12:06
on Twitter or Instagram, you're saying that are the Yankees tank
12:10
or something like that. And we've had discussion of like
12:12
what the Yankees should do with the trade deadline error will
12:14
say, oh, they should have stationed sellers at the
12:16
deadline. Like, where do you stand on all
12:17
that with the Yankees? No, they weren't going to be
12:19
sellers, and I think they did pretty well at the deadline,
12:22
especially because the market clearly wasn't in the starting
12:25
pitching market. No starters really went
12:27
anywhere. Everyone was bolstering the
12:28
bullpen where I get annoyed and I see this all the time.
12:32
It's really hard for me to rank, like to rake on Boone because
12:36
Aaron Boone has always been great to me like he is always,
12:38
every time I've been around him. Great guy, so nice to me, jokes
12:43
with me. I have nothing against Aaron
12:45
Boone as a person, but when these decisions are made like
12:49
Devin Williams last night who has been struggling all year.
12:53
And I, Jabba and I spoke about this at the beginning of the
12:55
season when I said, what is going on with this guy?
12:59
And he still never really got things right.
13:02
And the bases are loaded. And you went out and got one of
13:06
the best closers in the market in David Bednar.
13:10
And I understand maybe you didn't want him to like get
13:12
crushed by putting him in that situation.
13:15
We are grown like you're grown men.
13:17
You got him for a reason. Take Devin Williams out of the
13:20
game. Enough already.
13:21
Like these decisions are terrible.
13:23
It's Aaron Boone. He's reaching out to you.
13:25
Ariel. Yeah.
13:26
MLP networks like you're fired, say.
13:31
Joba's got me. Joba.
13:33
Joba. I'm quitting the show.
13:36
Like, you know how pissed off that makes me.
13:39
It's unbelievable. I only say it in a negative
13:41
context, like getting cancelled on the show.
13:44
Yeah, no, I just want to punch air on this face.
13:46
She's that. Hold on one second.
13:48
She's kidding. I'm not.
13:49
Punching her in the face. Like, why are you going to punch
13:52
me in the face? I did nothing wrong.
13:54
I was kidding around. Anyways, we are talking to the
13:57
creator and founder of Prop Queen Sports, Ariel Epstein.
14:01
And by the way, she's not getting fired for anybody.
14:03
Don't try to kill me. Don't throw any bones on my
14:06
social. Media it's.
14:08
It's all my fault. It's it's Joba.
14:10
It's always as he always is anyways.
14:15
You know, Ariel, we, we speak about the Yankees on the show a
14:18
lot. I'm a Yankee fan.
14:19
Obviously Jabba play for the Yankees.
14:21
We all know what he's all about. And Fish is a Yankee fan.
14:25
There are ton of Yankee fans that listen to this show and
14:28
what turns me off about this team really since the beginning
14:32
was really not the manager. I don't think it's Aaron Boone's
14:35
fault. Aaron Boone's not going on the
14:37
field trying to hit the ball. Aaron.
14:39
Aaron Boone's not trying to steal a steal a plate or steal a
14:43
base. Aaron Boone's not throwing the
14:44
ball. Aaron Boone is looking at
14:46
analytics that the analytic department is sending down to
14:50
him, and all these fans have been just attacking Aaron Boone
14:55
over the list. OK, hold on, hold on.
14:57
I'm cutting you off. No, go ahead.
14:59
AJ Hinge becomes the manager of the Tigers, a team that was a
15:03
disaster four years ago. Hobby Bias was the most veteran
15:07
experienced All Star on that team of young stud rookies who
15:13
we knew could be something but weren't amounting to much yet.
15:18
AJ Hinge benches Javi Baez because.
15:21
I told that story I. Told you what?
15:23
Story. I told that story.
15:24
He took him down under in Toronto.
15:27
And look, this team knows that AJ Hint will bench you
15:32
regardless of who you are. The Yankees don't do that.
15:37
And that's Aaron Boone's fault. How about that's Brian Cashman's
15:40
fault? How about it's the executive
15:42
bunch up there telling. Aaron Boone, tell me, here's a
15:45
puppet. I don't know whose fault that
15:47
is. Here's a puppet.
15:48
If AJ Hinch can make the whole team better in Detroit and make
15:51
you realize that I'm going to bench you, I don't care.
15:54
Then somebody in the Yankees organization, which I know for a
15:57
fact from working for them, they're a very loyal
16:00
organization, which is amazing in so many ways.
16:04
It's just not working. It's I, I, I agree with you, but
16:07
it's it's amazing almost to a fault too yes, because it's
16:10
like, where do we go? And, and the crazy part is me
16:14
being there is long. It's the same people like it is
16:16
literally the same unless a Mark Newman got rested, his soul was
16:20
our player development guide that who passed away.
16:22
But other than that, it's the same people and it's it's just
16:27
interesting when you bring it up.
16:28
And and I brought up the AJ Hinch thing where if they get
16:32
pissed at you for doing that, for doing whatever.
16:35
And like the and I'll use Jazz as an example, like when you go
16:38
out and say you're making a play and then come back and say that
16:41
you would do it the same way again, What were you doing?
16:43
It's it's a pop fly to second base and for somebody to not
16:47
like get in his ass and be like, what are we doing?
16:50
And then you see Booney talking to the first base coach and not
16:54
Jazz, like what are we doing? And, and if and if you're told
16:58
and, and as we've heard from people and and people that we've
17:02
talked to it is he the puppet? Is he scared to to do something?
17:07
Is but who's going to do it? Like we're going to see we we've
17:11
seen what Judge said last night. Oh yeah, we have the clubhouse
17:14
to do it. It has to be done right.
17:16
Yeah, we know that. And then Booney goes back and
17:19
says, yeah, it's only June, but it's August.
17:24
There's not much time left. And so I it's just it's
17:27
frustrating to. See, generation, unfortunately
17:30
and IA, lot of these guys are my age, so I can't even say too
17:33
much of that. But even the next generation on
17:35
these Gen. Z kids, the college kids, the
17:37
rookies, the young first second year players, the way the
17:40
baseball even went in the last 10 years, it's the manager is
17:45
your friend. Whereas you were with Joe Torre
17:48
and the manager is your manager. Like, he's your boss.
17:50
And I hate that. Football's not that way.
17:54
Football, a lot of these guys are the head coach.
17:56
Like, that's your coach. We just saw a coach come out of
17:59
a pile with marks on his face. Like we, like coaches in the NFL
18:04
are coaches in hockey. Coaches are coaches in baseball.
18:08
It appears that half of them are their friends.
18:11
First of all, jazz Chism. It's not Chism, it's Chism.
18:16
That's all he's worth. I never liked the move when the
18:18
Yankees brought him in. The guy, all he does is yap.
18:21
He wears his nice beautiful jeans, dances and prances
18:24
around. He went in the Home Run Derby.
18:26
He embarrassed himself at the Home Run Derby, and after the
18:29
Home Run Derby, he embarrassed himself again.
18:32
Every single thing that comes out of this guy's mouth is just
18:35
absolutely ridiculous and the Yankees should have suspended
18:39
this guy a long time ago. Now I believe it's Brian
18:43
Cashman. I think Brian Cashman is behind
18:45
it. I feel bad for Aaron Boone.
18:47
I stick up for Aaron Boone. I think Aaron Boone is a great
18:49
manager and if Aaron Boone gets fired at the end of this year, I
18:54
believe there'll be 5-6 or seven other teams lining up to bring
18:59
in Aaron Boone. I don't think he's a bad
19:01
manager. I think he just has to listen to
19:03
up top and whatever they say goes.
19:06
What do you think about that, Miss Epstein?
19:11
I have heard that Cashman of course pulls a lot of the
19:14
strings, but at this point it's crazy to think we are like 10
19:18
years into Aaron Boone being manager.
19:20
That is a long freaking time to be in a job.
19:23
It's not his second year anymore even though it keeps feeling
19:26
that way. Feels like Mr. Tory was manager
19:28
like 3 years ago. That's not the case.
19:30
He's 85, 10 years into a job. We should be a little bit more
19:35
confident to be a little bit more ourselves if you can't do
19:39
that. And again, maybe he just enjoys
19:42
the I can't speak for Aaron Boone.
19:45
I don't ever intend to speak for Aaron Boone.
19:46
I don't know how it works in the organization.
19:49
What I know whoever is running the team is not focusing on the
19:52
problem, which is fundamentals. And when you are grown men
19:56
making millions of dollars every year and you can't field ground
20:00
balls, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm isn't running hard and
20:05
we don't have Giancarlo Stanton. In the lineup against Nathan
20:08
Ivaldi, who he's hitting like 400 against with four home runs.
20:12
Big problem jism. Jism, just so you know, I'm
20:15
helping you out here. It's jazz jizz.
20:17
I'm just helping. You here, man, I've been saying
20:20
this over Jabba last year when we started working together.
20:23
Jabba, we're going to have to go.
20:24
Back on this, I didn't have a love fest, don't you?
20:27
Lie now, I loved him. No, Is he a vibes?
20:31
Guy though, he a vibes guy 100%. He vibed.
20:34
To him, he definitely vibed to him and he attacked me at the
20:37
World Series and I said this guy stinks.
20:40
He's an overrated second baseman.
20:42
Oh, I'm sorry. He played third base during the
20:45
World Series. I think the guy stinks.
20:47
And and by the way, Gleiber Taurus is having an All Star
20:50
year. He's on a better team.
20:52
Where's Gleiber? Taurus.
20:53
This guy this? Happens to all the Yankees.
20:56
A lot of them leave the Yankees and do better.
20:58
So why do people come to the Yankees and do worse?
21:01
I don't know. You, you, you know the Yankees
21:04
more than I do. Blaming the.
21:05
Whole pinstripe thing, fine. Under George Steinbrenner, you
21:09
could feel the pressure. He was a scary man.
21:12
This rate We can't talk about the Yankees and pinstripes and
21:16
pressure in New York. What's the pressure?
21:18
You haven't won a World Series since 2009.
21:22
What's the pressure? Enough?
21:23
This is such a stupid argument over the stupid pressure.
21:27
It's not pressure. It's no one's pressuring you
21:30
that's the problem. So.
21:33
Switching gears, I wanted to discuss the the betting scandals
21:35
that have been going on in sports recently, most recently
21:37
with the manual class Emmanuel class you threw.
21:40
Mariano on the screen as you're talking about gambling scandal.
21:43
That was weird, yeah. So Emmanuel, Class A was the big
21:46
one. Recently, we've seen a couple in
21:47
the NBA get suspended as well. And like Errol's whispering
21:50
here, Ohtani last year was the big one.
21:51
What are your thoughts on all that, how it's operating,
21:53
created in all sports? So I always tell people, because
21:57
everyone thinks that gambling's making this worse.
22:00
In fact, it's the opposite. The legalization of gambling is
22:03
why it's getting exposed. It was it was always happening.
22:07
If you think that these guys are just new doing this because it's
22:11
legal, that's not true. I know a lot of ex athletes who
22:14
all gambled and all know like I hear stories, they all got away
22:19
with it. Even the leaks sometimes knew
22:20
about it, called them into private meetings and said hey
22:23
we're kind of catching on, stop it or we're going to have to
22:25
suspend you. There were a lot of warnings
22:28
that no one hears about. So this is now just bringing it
22:31
to the forefront. And remember those times it was
22:33
illegal these times, this isn't necessarily like a manual Class
22:37
A and Ortiz on the guardians. These weren't we caught you
22:43
betting these were. We caught you doing things that
22:47
looked like the whole there was. I don't even know how someone
22:52
got down like 5 or 10K on a second pitch of 1/3 inning.
22:57
I don't even know how you were able to get that down because
23:00
you usually can't even bet more than $250 on that kind of
23:03
market. But besides the point, they were
23:05
seeing excessive amounts of money coming in on a certain
23:07
pitch in a certain inning, that clearly ball slipped out of
23:11
their hands like that was class. A's, oh, oh, pitch.
23:14
And he like long darted like six in a row and then didn't miss
23:17
the zone by less than like, like 1/4 of an inch like his next 32
23:21
pitches or something like that, right?
23:23
Like these are The funny thing is it's not even O class A's
23:26
betting. It's well, who's he assisting in
23:28
the betting? It's like point shaving.
23:31
But again, these things have been going on for years.
23:34
I just think that these players are so dumb because it's
23:37
obviously it's like become blatantly obvious.
23:41
So my defense of it legalized gambling is just helping people
23:46
get caught. And the problem is people will
23:49
continue to do not legalize gambling, and that just
23:54
contributes to a different problem.
23:56
As it's not. Not like we all didn't have
23:58
bookies, right? It's, it's happened for years.
24:03
I mean, it's like in New York, it's like the back of the parlor
24:09
games, like gambling rings. It's I mean, it's going to
24:11
happen, but yeah, it's the one thing that I always wondered it,
24:15
it was so like taboo back even though people knew they did it.
24:19
Do you think like obviously you being at the forefront of what
24:21
you've done and how you've done it, do you think it's helped or
24:25
hurt in getting people like to the sport?
24:28
Or has it become like, I'm not a fan?
24:31
I'm a I'm a fantasy fan. I'm I'm a fan of if this guy's
24:34
on my team or as you do your survivor things.
24:37
Oh, I just want him to get a hit.
24:38
But I hate the Braves. Like, you know, does it become
24:41
certain things like that? And how have you seen it work,
24:44
good and bad? I've seen it help more than it
24:47
hurts, especially baseball, which is the sport we love.
24:50
People love having this downtime of year saying, hey, Ariel,
24:54
what's the bed of the day? I just want a little bit of
24:56
action. I want to have some fun.
24:57
And it gives me a reason to watch the Mariners and White Sox
25:00
tonight. Football obviously is king.
25:03
I just, I do think that it has helped a generation, especially
25:07
like my brother's age, who's all just getting to that legalized
25:10
gambling age or not. But they want to be and they
25:14
all, it used to be, they didn't have a reason to really tune
25:19
into the games and watch. They just watch the box score,
25:22
watch social media highlights. Now you get people living and
25:25
dying on every play, every pitch again, because they might have
25:29
action on it and it might mean something.
25:31
So I do think in the long run it's helped more than I've seen.
25:34
It hurt. What has it hurt?
25:36
There are obviously people who are against gambling, but my
25:39
response is always, well, what are you going to do?
25:41
You're going to take away liquor stores.
25:42
People are still going to have alcohol addictions.
25:44
You're going to tell people they can't have sex?
25:46
People are still going to have sex addictions.
25:48
You're going to tell people they can't watch porn, they're going
25:50
to do it anyway. Pointing out.
25:52
Choppa you pointing? Oh, she.
25:54
I was just She's hitting the mail on the head.
25:56
All right, I. Thought you were pointing at me
25:58
now. No, I.
25:59
Mean, but the same thing. She's 100% right.
26:02
The world's biggest addiction is legal.
26:04
And that's food. Fast food corners, you know you
26:07
got to eat. I thought he was going a
26:09
different direction, but I was. Trying to I was, I was.
26:12
Trying to bring it back. Trying.
26:13
To bring it back a little bit, he was pointing at me.
26:17
That's what I thought he was doing.
26:18
No, I was like. Bingo, you got it.
26:20
I wasn't necessarily pointing at anybody.
26:23
We are talking to creator and sports, Ariel Epstein.
26:27
You know, it's, it's really, really funny.
26:29
When I, I started working with Jabba, I, I was always trying to
26:33
figure him out as a player. I was a fan of Jabba
26:35
Chamberlain. I always was.
26:37
And then working with him, I, I, I really had to figure out his
26:40
personality. Is there a particular person
26:42
that you've worked with over the years where you thought you knew
26:45
him until you really got a chance to work with him?
26:48
And who was it and why or how did you deal with him if you
26:52
couldn't deal with? Them oh God, I'm.
26:55
Not going to name names because. I knew that was.
26:59
Kevin. There.
27:02
Have definitely been people I've worked with that I'm like, oh
27:05
wow, I thought we were friends and you are just a lunatic and
27:09
we can't work together. I don't.
27:12
I can handle a lot like you could.
27:14
I could come on, I could talk with guys, I don't care.
27:16
I've had guy friends my whole life.
27:17
Literally nothing bothers me until you degrade me over my
27:22
work. If you come on and try to
27:23
degrade me by saying certain things like I don't know someone
27:28
unless you mentioned it, or like if you start telling me that I
27:32
don't have the right to give out bets on this because I don't
27:36
know that, trust me, I've heard it from this particular person.
27:41
I have heard like on air, and I'm not saying behind the
27:45
scenes, I don't care about behind the scenes.
27:47
It was on air that I would be getting called out over stuff
27:49
and to the point this person, it got to the higher ups and it was
27:53
done. But I will say 1 funny story
27:56
that I don't mind saying so Al Leiter and I, so I met Al for
28:01
the first time two or three years ago at MLB Network.
28:06
And he's a hard ass. Like when you first meet him,
28:09
he's a tough dude. But I love that.
28:11
Like, I love cracking people. Like I would have loved to have
28:14
met George Steinbrenner because I feel like LON Trost and I
28:17
became close and he's a tough guy too.
28:19
Like I was like, I'm going to craft this guy.
28:21
And those are the same. Size.
28:24
I'm actually a little taller, but he's a lot most powerful.
28:29
He's the tiniest, most powerful person anyone could probably
28:33
ever meet, and he's a great. Dude, and he's a great.
28:35
Guy, but he's tough until. I mean, I met him when I was 20,
28:40
so he was really tough on me until whatever.
28:42
But anyway, the out lighter story.
28:45
So of course I do the gambling stuff at MLB Network and I love
28:48
my strikeout props Al of course, being the pitcher he is, he
28:51
comes in and he knows I say my stuff on air, but he was really
28:55
trying to test me to see what I knew off the cusp.
28:58
But we're sitting in the makeup room.
28:59
He was. I don't really understand this
29:01
whole strikeout prop thing. Like how do you know this?
29:03
Like how do you know that I'm not just having a bad day?
29:06
I said, well, I don't, but majority of the days you're
29:08
probably not having a bad day because you're going on the
29:10
mound and majority of the days your analytics and numbers are
29:14
going to tell me that certain matchups are good and bad
29:16
whenever. So I go through my whole MLB
29:18
prop spreadsheet with him of I my friend Matt and I have a prop
29:22
spreadsheet over all the pitcher props, hitter prop.
29:25
I mean hits a louder and runs a loud outs and strikeout props.
29:30
So I'm going through the strikeout prop portion with him
29:32
explaining how I handicap the strikeout props against each
29:34
particular lineup and how I go through all the numbers and
29:37
whatever. So he's asking me all these
29:39
questions like getting he's like trying to get me like off the
29:42
cusp, giving him like strikeout props.
29:43
So I give him a few and he said if these don't hit like you,
29:50
like basically I suck. Of course they end up hitting
29:54
that night. He comes in the next day and
29:56
he's still being a hard ass until the next day.
29:58
Like he's trying to really like quiz me and the next day he
30:02
comes and he goes, well, you really know your stuff.
30:05
We were besties ever since he even asked to come on the show.
30:08
He said he would do whatever. So that was those kinds of
30:11
moments to me that I like live for, you know, it's.
30:13
It's so interesting when you when you sit down or you're
30:16
interviewing an athlete and they think they know you or they've
30:20
heard of you, and then you sit down with them and they really
30:22
don't know you. And then they're you ask him
30:25
your first question and they're like, are you serious?
30:28
Are you going to ask me that that question?
30:29
It's like, why not? And I'll tell you a quick story.
30:32
And Jabba wasn't a part of this show.
30:34
I what we used to do when, when Speedy started to work with me,
30:38
we used to get all the big analysts on our show.
30:40
So I would ask 5 funny questions at the end of the interview.
30:45
So there was a Chicago Bulls analyst that was on our show.
30:51
And I, I didn't know how I was going to attack it in the
30:54
questions, the crazy questions I asked him.
30:56
So I said, Speedy, how do you think I should attack this?
30:59
And he says, I don't know, I just don't want you to turn them
31:01
off. So the first question I asked
31:04
him is at the end of the whole interview, I said if you were a
31:08
woman and you went out in town and you were going to go to a
31:12
club, what would you wear? He looked at me and he said, I
31:17
wish you nothing but the best. It was very nice talking to you.
31:21
Hopefully we talk soon. I never talked to the guy again.
31:25
And it was, I'm not mentioning the name of it, but it was very,
31:28
very funny because I cut it up and I told Speedy to chop it up
31:32
because every single time I think of this analyst, I see him
31:36
on television. I'm not going to mention names.
31:38
It always makes me I just break out and laugh because of the
31:42
questions I asked him during that interview.
31:45
Ariel I like. This part after this too, we
31:47
also had I know you're Ravens fan so you like.
31:50
We had Trevor. Price on our show X Ravens
31:52
offensive live on the same day Ariel asked him the same
31:55
question. He said he would walk out naked.
32:00
I think that's a great answer. But he's always on this show.
32:04
He always comes on this show and we always have fun with Trevor.
32:07
But this guy looked at me like his mouth dropped, like I asked
32:12
him, like I I was going to kill somebody.
32:14
It was so funny. Are you on the?
32:16
Positive side like Pedro Martinez was that for me in a
32:19
positive way. Meeting Pedro for the first time
32:22
was and I don't know how Jabba feels about Pedro.
32:25
I freaking love that man. I walked in the first.
32:29
So we got to do. I met him once, like years ago
32:31
when I was interviewing an MLB. He wouldn't have remembered
32:34
that, but we did a show. He did a full hour with my show
32:38
off base at MLB Network. I was so excited, but I also was
32:42
not sure because I didn't really.
32:44
I heard great things about him, but obviously Yankees fan and I
32:47
hated him. You go in the makeup room, he
32:50
walks in, he looks at me and he goes, Ariel, I've been so
32:54
excited to do a show with you. I looked at him.
32:57
I go, really? He's like, yeah, you're really
32:59
smart. You know your stuff.
33:00
I said, Pedro, I've hated you my whole life.
33:05
That crazy. And he just started the laughing
33:08
and he goes, yeah, I get that all the time.
33:10
He's the best. He's got the biggest.
33:12
Head himself on. Every show he's got.
33:14
The biggest head man, I don't know where.
33:17
Obviously it was a great picture.
33:18
It's like looking at Pedro Martinez is like a bobble head,
33:21
just like staring right at you. I, I hated Pedro Martinez, but I
33:25
love him as an analyst because he's honest and he's one of the
33:28
greatest right-handed pitchers we've ever seen.
33:30
I mean, the guy was unstoppable. Everybody talks about the
33:34
greatest change UPS of all time. I got to say Pedro Martinez
33:37
might have the best paint change up we've ever seen because of
33:40
how hard he threw and he pitched in such big times.
33:43
The only team that seemed to dominate him was his daddy and
33:47
that was the New York Yankees. So he opened.
33:50
Up our show that day, literally looking at the camera and saying
33:54
who's your daddy? It was amazing.
33:57
Well, they literally. After after that happened in the
33:59
World Series when he beat him when he was with Philly, like
34:01
they literally like did a full segment like who's your daddy?
34:05
Like during the playoffs. Like he's I've always, I've
34:08
always liked him. Like he was always great to me.
34:12
Once you can like can start to understand them because at first
34:15
it's a little tough. He'll laugh and crack jokes.
34:17
He he's awesome. I I loved him.
34:19
Instead he goes. Into a different mode when he
34:22
pitches and when he's on the field it's his team or die and
34:27
then he leaves the field and he becomes his normal self.
34:31
He just has like 3 personalities.
34:33
Game day Pedro, teammate Pedro and just Pedro.
34:36
It's true I. The IT is true.
34:39
I I. I meet a lot of different
34:41
athletes, but the the football players are always the weirdest
34:44
ones. The things the Yeah, you're.
34:46
Kind of right they are. The weirdest people, I'm not
34:50
going to lie, I'm not going to tell you some of the things
34:52
Offset went before you interview them, but we were at the Super
34:55
Bowl. I'll never forget it.
34:55
We were doing radio row. Jabba was supposed to come down,
34:58
but he had he had his son. His son was playing baseball, so
35:01
he couldn't come down. So I'll never forget it.
35:03
So we're, we're standing there and we're looking for guys to
35:07
come because you know, during early in the, in the day,
35:09
they're, they're walking, waking up with clipboards and saying,
35:11
who do you want to interview? You can't interview him because
35:14
he already he's got a full day, full map.
35:16
So we set up and we don't even ask.
35:19
We don't even know who we're going to interview.
35:21
So people would walk by and we just pull them and say, want to
35:24
get a 15 minute interview. And after the interview, they
35:27
would come back up to us after is like, that was the best
35:30
interview I've ever had as since I've been here all week is like,
35:35
where did you, how did you, how did you do that?
35:37
And I said, well, you know, it's, it's a good question, but
35:40
we have it all. We're scripted.
35:42
We write everything down. He's like, really, let me see
35:44
it. And I was like, I'm just
35:46
kidding. I don't script anything.
35:48
I just want to shoot the crap with you.
35:50
There was a football player that came up.
35:52
I'm not going to mention names. And he asked me something that
35:56
was unique, disgusting. And he, I'll just tell you
36:01
quickly what he said to me. He said, well, you know what,
36:04
have you ever spoke about somebody taking a dump?
36:07
And I said, why? And he said, well, because, you
36:10
know, before football games, I, the first thing I before the
36:14
game, before I walk on the field, I would have to go to the
36:17
bathroom because I was so worried or I was So what, what's
36:20
the word? I, I, I felt uncomfortable.
36:22
So I had to go flabbergasted or whatever the hell he said.
36:26
And he he says, yeah, he said I'd be on the ball and the coach
36:28
would be looking for me and the 1st place, everybody would know
36:31
where I was, was in the stall right before you walk on the
36:35
field. So I I said, well, why are you
36:38
telling me this? And he said, well, because
36:40
nobody asks me silly questions like this.
36:43
And you seem to ask all the crazy ones.
36:46
So that's that's a true story. And I'm not going to mention,
36:50
but football players are real when you ask them a question.
36:53
A baseball player like Jabba Chamberlain, when I first
36:56
interviewed, the first thing he told me, I got 15 minutes.
36:59
Give me the best shot for 15 minutes.
37:01
You know what happened after 15 minutes?
37:03
This mofo took over the show for an hour and a half and didn't
37:08
shut up. And that's how the Jabba in the
37:11
mouth really was born. So that that's a true story.
37:14
By the way, Jabba said 15 minutes and it wind up almost
37:18
two hours of Jabba Chamberlain true story.
37:21
So I love that. Yeah.
37:23
Well, Jabba, Jabba's been, you know, me and Jabba, it's taken a
37:26
little while, but me and him are.
37:28
We've built a good relationship. Jabba's a unique individual.
37:31
And anybody that doesn't know Jabba Chamberlain, you got you
37:34
got to watch the show because Jabba is more knowledgeable than
37:38
you think in sports. But the my favorite line of
37:42
Jabba fish, you got to tell them what's what's our you got to
37:45
come on here. What is Jabba's do I know?
37:47
This no. Jabba, what is what is his best
37:51
line when it comes to attacking the subject?
37:53
You ready, Fish? Go ahead.
37:54
Give it to him. You're on mute.
37:57
What is he? What does he do?
37:58
There's a couple. What does he do?
38:00
Go ahead. You.
38:02
Give us like, you know, it's just, it's one of those things,
38:04
you know, it's one of those things.
38:06
It's one of. Those things, it's one of you
38:07
got to make sure. You know, I'm coming with
38:09
something. One of those.
38:10
Things, even if he doesn't know what he's talking about.
38:12
It's one of those things I'm going to make some.
38:13
Shit up. So I know I act like I'm going
38:15
to talk about I I've. Gotten to learn all of the the
38:19
pronouns, the euvanisms, adverbs that he that Jabba Chamberlain
38:24
knows that that is what I've learned.
38:25
Fish are you? Claiming you're just one of
38:27
those things called jabberish. Jabberish.
38:31
Hey, I learned. I learned these from my
38:33
father's. He was great.
38:35
At it, Jabba liked. My shrimp cocktail.
38:40
Everything's about BS ING. If you could confidently BS,
38:43
anyone will believe you. Well, I could sell.
38:45
I mean it's I could sell shorts to an Eskimo so it's all good.
38:51
I definitely got to see that. I definitely have to see that.
38:55
I could sell ketchup packets to a man in a white suit, so that's
38:58
good. Oh man, just don't sell it to a
39:06
woman. Hey, she could play it.
39:10
Off, though if it's shark week, hey, it's life that happens.
39:17
Oh my. God, we're going to get in
39:19
trouble. She's going to get in trouble
39:21
for this anyways, Joba. Joba.
39:25
That's the other guy. That's not Groba.
39:27
Ironically, I think I've actually competed against you,
39:32
Ariel, because the only people here that's ever competed
39:35
because I coached against Clarkstown North in track not
39:39
that long ago. I think when you were there a
39:41
little while, a little while ago, not that long ago.
39:44
And I'm only a few miles away up in Rockland still.
39:48
Coaching. Well, I graduated 2012, so it
39:51
was kind of a while ago I was coaching.
39:53
Track about 2011, 2012, 2013. Wow.
39:56
I definitely did not run track though.
39:59
I was the throwing coach over there, so we didn't run out of
40:02
there. We sat.
40:05
And throw both smack about us, bend your.
40:07
Knee a little bit more. Throw it harder that's.
40:10
Funny. That's funny, Small world.
40:13
Well, it is. Anyways, we love you Ariel.
40:18
We, we would love you to come on the show more often.
40:20
You do whatever you. Want a sensational?
40:23
Job, everything that you're doing, I'm happy.
40:25
We have a friend. And Jabba, we always have a
40:27
friend in me. I mean, you got a friend in me.
40:31
I was like, where are you? Going you got.
40:33
A friend in me, I'm not going to sing.
40:35
I don't want to scare anybody away.
40:36

Got a lot going on. I do all the sports.

41:14
I'm mostly focused in NBA, MLB and NFL.
41:17
So any sports that I don't do, I always bring guests on to help
41:20
out. Especially during big times like
41:22
the first week of college football or NHL like playoffs.
41:26
I always make sure that the big times are covered for sure.
41:29
Well. I checked out all the different
41:32
stuff that you're doing and when fish actually Jabba told us that
41:35
we were going to have you on the show, I I knew of you, but I
41:38
really didn't check out your stuff.
41:40
What you're doing is unique, different and revolutionizing
41:44
the industry right now. It is it's really cool.
41:47
It's a lot of. Work.
41:49
I'm exhausted and I decided that it was going to be a good time
41:51
to get a puppy. So I am not sleeping and I am
41:56
working a lot. But it's fun and I love it.
41:59
I just, I always thought that I didn't need sleep, but after a
42:03
few months I think I need sleep. So I'm going to try at some
42:06
point. I've got.
42:07
The perfect name for your puppy? Droba.
42:10
Droba maybe the. Next one, Marley sounds pretty
42:15
good right now. Marley, Marley and me.
42:18
I love that movie it sounds. Like you only need one right now
42:21
if you're not getting any. I only need.
42:23
One, yeah. That's true.
42:24
Anyways, I passed. The dog and went straight to
42:26
kids so. Yeah.
42:29
I chose not to go that route. Yeah, well, it.
42:31
Wasn't my first choice. It just kind of happened.
42:33
I ate, she said. She ate a salad and then Carter
42:36
was born. So I don't know how it worked.
42:38
What? What?
42:42
What? I got to meet this woman?
42:45
I got to meet this woman A. 100% now he's 1965, so yeah.
42:50
Sweet. That's awesome.
42:51
My. Dog wants your Pussycat.
42:57
We have a female on the show, man I'm.
43:00
Having fun She's she's a. Distinguished woman, What are we
43:04
doing? Fish.
43:05
Where's panties? OK.
43:08
That works. I just always say you wish that
43:12
was true. Breaking.
43:14
News. You're thinking bagel hole.
43:15
I don't want that visual. No breaking news.
43:19
I need a dinner. This is what I have.
43:21
To deal with breaking. News I need Britney also late
43:25
night like. You could have a drink on this
43:27
show or something and deal with it.
43:29
It's not like 9:00 in the morning.
43:30
Listen. No, I.
43:31
I got my snacks. We are.
43:33
The best in the business. OK, I just want to let you know
43:37
you're coming on the show more often.
43:40
You're just going to see even more crazy things that happen.
43:42
Oh, I bet there there is I I want to now I've done a lot of
43:46
crazy things on this show. I actually broke a record on
43:51
live radio. I put yes, I see hot on my
43:56
scrotum now. I had to do it.
43:58
I had to do it because people I had to listen.
44:01
I no, it wasn't a bad like you. You want her to come?
44:04
Back I do. But it's but it's funny, I may
44:07
have. Been like you won't do it, they
44:09
told. Me, I couldn't do it.
44:11
I wouldn't do it. So you know what I did?
44:13
I did it. You want to know something?
44:15
It was the worst experience of my life for 10 minutes I did it.
44:18
My face turned purple and thank God, I still own a pair of you
44:23
know what's, but nevertheless, I broke a record and now I want to
44:27
do something that people have told me you can actually can do.
44:31
I want to take a lighter and try to fart and see if it'll light a
44:34
flame. So that is something that I'm
44:36
I'm working on a betting building motion.
44:38
Yes, I I try to break records here.
44:40
I want to I want to see if this actually could work.
44:43
Could that be on your? Could that be on your prop
44:45
sheet? One of these.
44:46
Days that would that would be cool if you said odds.
44:48
Yes or no? Well.
44:50
Right, yes, or. No, I don't want to scare
44:53
anybody away when they see it, that's for sure.
44:55
No, please. Don't I'm going to have to go
44:57
sign up for some other show? I am a.
45:02
Legend as we all. Know anyways, Ariel, you are
45:06
fantastic. You do such a great job and
45:09
again, we really appreciate the time.
45:12
I know we've kept you on pretty long and I'm sure you're
45:14
probably saying after you get off, man, those guys are nuts.
45:17
But that's what we do. Nuts is better.
45:20
Than boring, that's true. I, I, I would say that, you
45:23
know, I, you know, some of these guys don't have any, but, you
45:26
know, maybe the chipmunks hanging out in the backroom
45:29
might know a little bit about that, right, Speedy?
45:31
I don't know, I have. Any chipmunks but?
45:35
What? What?
45:35
What am I the? What am I the?
45:37
Dave, who runs. Alvin, Simon and Theodore where
45:39
I have a bunch of those guys. What the hell?
45:42
Anyways, Ariel, keep up the good work.
45:45
We'll definitely get John again. We'd love to, you know, you
45:49
know, hit the, you know, hit the pattern when the when the
45:51
playoffs starts, because I think it's going to be very, very
45:55
interesting. Do the Yankees make the
45:57
playoffs? I would probably make a
45:59
prediction. No, But hey, maybe I'm wrong.
46:02
Could you make some? Money off that.
46:04
No, I make a lot of money off a lot of things I've said, but
46:07
everybody has attacked me on social media while I'm saying
46:10
it. So unfortunately, yeah, that's
46:12
what that that's what it goes with when it comes to this show.
46:16
Errol says something, and now it's time to just absolutely
46:18
drop the hammer on him or beat the hell out of him or say
46:21
whatever you want to say about him.
46:23
So there you go. Anyways, Ariel, keep up the good
46:26
work. Thanks guys.
46:28
Have a great night. Thanks.
46:31
The wonderful prop queen sports leader of them all, Ariel
46:36
Epstein. Come on, Jabba, that stood out.
46:39
We want Ariel to remember us. And we did it.
46:42
We did it. Home run we did.
46:44
Something. What kind of world record did
46:47
you break? What was the name of the record?
46:49
What do you mean the the way you pronounce?
46:51
It the ICS the. Name of the.
46:53
Company that that does the records Oh yeah, the.
46:55
Gayness book world record Guinness gayness gayness gayness
47:03
Ladies you know like the. Irish beer I don't.
47:05
Like drinking. So I don't know anything about
47:08
that. I don't know anything about it.
47:11
It has nothing to do. With it, it's the way it's
47:13
pronounced I. Just think they didn't put you.
47:15
In the record book, because you mispronounced their name.
47:18
Well, they didn't. Put me in the record books
47:20
because they want to see me do it again, and it's not going to
47:22
happen. I turned purple.
47:24
I was sweating. I, my face turned blue.
47:27
Really, I was the worst experience.
47:29
I took 12 showers during and after the show.
47:33
OK. And I thought I had to be rushed
47:35
to the hospital. I mean, my sack was burning.
47:37
All right, That's all I'm going to say.
47:39
It wasn't one of those things that I would ever try to do
47:41
again, and I actually did it. So kiss my rear end.
47:45
Nathan was the. Motivator kind of getting you
47:47
through the last two minutes. Boy, did he.
47:49
Ever. I mean, he wouldn't shut the
47:50
hell up. I remember that, Nathan.
47:52
I am a. Legend Yum Yum butt plug.
47:55
All right. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a
47:57
new segment for you tonight and we call this CHOPPA Rules
48:01
History in the. Making you ready.
48:03
Jabba Rules, Rules, Rules, rules, rules.
48:08
Are you ready, Jabba? You ready to give us all your
48:11
rules of the dead? Yeah.
48:13
So guys, this is our new segment, Jabba Rules.
48:16
We're going to just ask Jabba. Either.
48:20
What rules in life right now or what rules you want to put on
48:25
somebody? We're just going to play around
48:26
with it and you're going to have some fun.
48:28
Don't put. Icy Hot on your scrotum.
48:31
That's one of the rules, ladies and gentlemen, Jabo one your.
48:35
Rules need safe words Arrow. That's that's the problem.
48:38
What do you want me? To say, do you want me to
48:40
pineapple? Pineapple.
48:42
Pineapple. Pineapple nut sack.
48:45
Sack it. Drop it like it's hot.
48:50
Speedy's mom. Right here it is.
48:53
Jabba rules. Jabba.
48:55
You're up, my man. Yeah, we're going to.
48:58
Start this off with, I think, a very fitting segment of Java
49:03
rules where we're going to talk about the bullpen.
49:05
We're not going to talk about the back and forth of what my
49:08
rules were, but we're going to talk about the rules of the way
49:10
I think this should go for what is happening right now.
49:14
I have talked to people and have gotten opinions on certain
49:18
things on how it works. And I think kind of what we are
49:21
dealing with right now is as far as the Yankees debacle towards
49:24
the back end of their bullpen is as we seen what happened with
49:27
Devin Williams, He struggled all year.
49:29
He pitched to an 11 early in the year, got it down to like a four
49:32
and he's back up to a 5.4. And you know, you kept him out
49:36
there with with bases loaded and.
49:39
You know you. Got back end guys, high leverage
49:42
guys that you didn't necessarily use in that situation.
49:45
And now we have no idea who's going to close, who's going to
49:50
set up and the rules being in what I feel like is for these
49:56
guys to be successful, they have to have a set role.
50:00
And if they're not going to do it, if they're not going to make
50:03
the rule of hey, you are going to be set guy, you're going to
50:05
be early. If it's Dovall coming into high
50:07
leverage, maybe in the 6th or 7th or hey, we've you're going
50:11
to be the set up guys, 7th, 8th. And we saw Bednar today get a 5
50:15
out save. And so is that going to be the
50:20
way it goes? And it sucks because when you go
50:22
down there and you have no idea what your am I am I closing that
50:26
day? Am I, am I the first guy out to
50:28
get us out of a tough situation? Or am I setting up like we can
50:32
physically get ready, as I've mentioned before, but mentally,
50:35
how do I lock in? Like what what is my rule of me
50:39
mentally getting prepared? And I think with what they're
50:42
doing right now, it's you don't really know what's going to
50:45
happen. You're kind of holding your
50:46
breath of is it Ben are going to stay in for five outs?
50:50
Are they going to get up Weaver like is are they going to use
50:53
Tim Hill in a certain situation? Like, so for me, it's just
50:57
trying to find a set of standard or rules or whatever you want to
51:03
use to where they have an understanding of when they're
51:08
going to be in the game. Because that is a huge part of
51:11
being successful of knowing like when you come to work, I don't
51:14
care what job it is, but it's like, hey, you know what?
51:17
I have to get this, this bid for this job done by today.
51:21
So I know what I'm going to do to get prepared for you.
51:24
Smell my. Ass and to have that.
51:26
And if you don't have that, you can't fully be the best self of
51:31
what you need to get done because now you're just kind of
51:35
laying in limbo. What are you going to do?
51:37
Are you going to do I start getting warm and and getting
51:40
loose and locked in at the 4th? Do I the 5th?
51:42
Like do I, am I over prepared? Am I under prepared?
51:46
So just for me, it's, it's just a debacle right now of, of
51:49
nobody truly understanding what their role is and how to prepare
51:54
for it and and how to make sure that they can get the best out
51:58
of what they are. We all know they're not going to
51:59
be perfect. It's baseball.
52:01
But set them up to succeed. Don't set them up to fail.
52:04
And. That's that's how I feel about
52:06
what they need to do. And will they do it?
52:09
I have no idea. Well.
52:11
You you guys heard it. Some Jabba rules for the Yankees
52:16
bullpen. Give them some rules.
52:18
Make them define the rule of the.
52:20
Shetray jabba. Where else?
52:22
Droba, Droba Pass Liquor. I love it, man.
52:33
I Ariel, she has to come on a show that is going to make her
52:38
laugh. You can't go on these boring
52:40
shows and just she's great. She's fantastic.
52:45
She really is. And I'm telling you she will
52:47
never forget that interview. And one of the main reasons why
52:50
is she knows that you have to be open to laughter.
52:55
And I don't think a lot of shows are like that.
52:57
I think what we try to do is try to change that thought in in the
53:01
process of what radio and entertainment is, is to make
53:04
people see shows and entertainment in sports a
53:08
completely different way when they watch this show and
53:11
interact with this craziness. As we all know, I love Lisa.
53:13
Ann he loves Lisa. Ann Jabba probably loves her
53:16
too, especially when she stretched.
53:18
And apparently diffitt. Also loves RG3's wife and Matt
53:21
Leonard's wife I. Absolutely agree.
53:23
Fish is not a. Panty dropper, he definitely.
53:25
Isn't a panty dropper. Jabba might be, and we're going
53:27
to have to ask the ladies. I mean, well, he's engaged.
53:30
It's a little. Dated, but I'll have to get.
53:32
I gave you a picture when I was 21 in the.
53:35
I mean, we don't talk about him anymore, but play with my.
53:38
Pickle corduroy suit. That a guy named Puff Daddy used
53:41
to wear in the I'll be missing you video please I may I may
53:44
have gone out on my 23rd. Day.
53:46
And Ludu out in a limo with that.
53:48
Suit so I don't know about that that statement that statement's
53:51
a little erroneous on lots of accounts.
53:53
You want my? Cream pie.
