2:42
Speaker 1: sure I feed him a little bit of Hey Steve,
2:44
Speaker 1: if you're watching, listen, it's okay, right, So what we're
2:48
Speaker 1: gonna get going, I'm gonna be all over the map tonight.
2:49
Speaker 1: We're gonna start off with a Jamel Hill. It's like
2:53
Speaker 1: Britney Grinder's Russian entertainment is a reason the WNBA should
2:57
Speaker 1: increase pay. All right, Jacob, what are your u.
3:01
Speaker 3: Oh god, they just said Jamil Hill. My eyes rolled.
3:05
Speaker 3: But but here's the thing, no, because in the end
3:11
Speaker 3: it is about what I mean, there's one lady that
3:14
Speaker 3: deserves and possibly Becker's in the future, that deserves that
3:19
Speaker 3: kind of pay if they get to theirs, maybe angel
3:22
Speaker 3: rees of her shoes go, you know, and if they
3:24
Speaker 3: get to know. But there are so few that are
3:27
Speaker 3: bringing in the money that you would get for ratings
3:30
Speaker 3: or any of that kind of stuff that deserve the money.
3:33
Speaker 3: The whole thing that I say all the time is whatsoever,
3:39
Speaker 3: when we saw those t shirts saying pay us what
3:41
Speaker 3: you owe us, it should have been. It should have been.
3:44
Speaker 3: Caitlin paid me what you owe me. In the back
3:46
Speaker 3: of everybody else, you're saying, thank her. It's but it's
3:50
Speaker 3: just the truth. It's just the truth though. But and
3:53
Speaker 3: I and I like what the WNBA is starting to do.
3:55
Speaker 3: You know, they're starting to spend money to try to
3:56
Speaker 3: promote the league. But no, again, no, you still have
4:01
Speaker 3: to be able to bring money back in, and they're not.
4:03
Speaker 3: There's still the NBA is still losing money off them.
4:06
Speaker 3: They're probably gonna lose it this year, knowing that Caitlyn
4:08
Speaker 3: hasn't played much, she's been injured, so it's so it's
4:13
Speaker 3: like they're gonna lose money again unfortunately. But no, they
4:16
Speaker 3: don't deserve that.
4:17
Speaker 1: I'm candy.
4:21
Speaker 2: Do I want to see women get paid more? Of
4:23
Speaker 2: course I do, But at what expense? Do we want
4:27
Speaker 2: the league to fold because we can't afford you know,
4:30
Speaker 2: we're playing the players and we're not taking in the revenue. No,
4:34
Speaker 2: I don't want it to fold. Would I like to
4:37
Speaker 2: see more? Of course I would like to see more,
4:40
Speaker 2: But they have to draw more in order to get
4:43
Speaker 2: paid more. So they just gotta they gotta have more people,
4:49
Speaker 2: more ladies, drawing fans in and selling more, whether it
4:54
Speaker 2: be shoes, whether it be whatever it be they needed.
5:00
Speaker 2: They need to market their product like the NFL markets
5:04
Speaker 2: their product, because if they did that, they would be
5:07
Speaker 2: able to get paid more.
5:10
Speaker 5: Georgia, Well, I agree that they do deserve.
5:16
Speaker 6: An increase, but that's always easier said than done. Like
5:20
Speaker 6: Candy just stated, I mean, you know, and Jacob, the
5:24
Speaker 6: league is subsidizing and they always have. The NBA has
5:28
Speaker 6: always been subsidizing that league and helping it get started.
5:31
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
5:31
Speaker 6: You know, by now, I would have thought that, hey,
5:34
Speaker 6: maybe they're almost ready or have already started on their own,
5:39
Speaker 6: but that's not.
5:40
Speaker 5: The case obviously.
5:41
Speaker 6: So as far as the salaries go, I mean, yeah,
5:44
Speaker 6: I mean, the league has been become more popular as
5:48
Speaker 6: we know the last several years, and great great ladies,
5:51
Speaker 6: great athletes. They're really great, and they've got a great
5:54
Speaker 6: product that they're displaying. But the thing is is that
5:59
Speaker 6: you got to have the way Street down that you know,
6:01
Speaker 6: the owners of these teams, of the WNBA teams rather,
6:04
Speaker 6: they've got to be willing to up the ANNIE as well,
6:07
Speaker 6: and you've got to have intense negotiations with the WNBA
6:12
Speaker 6: and the you know, their players.
6:13
Speaker 5: Association and the owners.
6:14
Speaker 6: And I don't know how much that gets publicized because
6:17
Speaker 6: I don't hear much about the negotiations. But that being said, Scott, yeah,
6:21
Speaker 6: they deserve more money. I don't know if she's coming,
6:24
Speaker 6: you know, Brittany. I mean, I just don't want to
6:26
Speaker 6: get into that whole side about the you know, her
6:28
Speaker 6: being held by Russia and all that. But I mean
6:31
Speaker 6: the bottom line is, yeah, they do need more money,
6:34
Speaker 6: but it comes only after a solid product is delivered
6:39
Speaker 6: consistently great.
6:41
Speaker 4: Chris, Listen, they definitely deserve more money, right because they are.
6:47
Speaker 4: They are getting bigger crowds now, they're selling out the
6:50
Speaker 4: big arenas, right, Yeah, thanks to Caitlin Clark. Without a doubt,
6:54
Speaker 4: they are riding this momentum from her. But you got
6:57
Speaker 4: to remember, we got all these other great players coming in,
6:59
Speaker 4: like Page came in. She's really popular. You know, her
7:03
Speaker 4: team's not doing that well yet, but you know it's
7:05
Speaker 4: gonna take time. And they just signed a big TV
7:09
Speaker 4: deal right less before this season, so they are bringing
7:12
Speaker 4: in more money. So why they're losing money, I have
7:16
Speaker 4: no idea. It makes no sense. So somebody to get
7:19
Speaker 4: into that chase.
7:21
Speaker 3: The reason I'm the reason they're losing it by they
7:23
Speaker 3: did get a deal with Ion and they got those
7:25
Speaker 3: that's not a huge deal, but it's a better deal
7:27
Speaker 3: than they had and they they shared one with they
7:30
Speaker 3: had shared one with ESPN. But one of the issues
7:33
Speaker 3: that they have with this is the fact that it's
7:36
Speaker 3: like and that, yeah, we talked about this and I've
7:38
Speaker 3: talked about it on the deal before. Yeah, they have
7:41
Speaker 3: to go to RUSS and they have to have all
7:42
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff like this. But but the biggest
7:47
Speaker 3: thing is the one that is the reason they need
7:50
Speaker 3: to be is the one that needs to get paid
7:52
Speaker 3: at that moment, because she brought every chance that you
7:55
Speaker 3: can possibly get if you get Kate, if you get
7:58
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark, and at that point in time, she can
8:01
Speaker 3: start her own league, and even Angel which follow in
8:04
Speaker 3: because they would just be that league. But I mean Angel,
8:08
Speaker 3: and this is the thing and it's not a thing
8:09
Speaker 3: again Angels play, even though it's kind of funny sometimes
8:13
Speaker 3: it's kind of funny sometimes that Angel Greece can't start
8:15
Speaker 3: her own league.
8:17
Speaker 4: Right one, she's like a Dennis Rodman, right, She's a
8:21
Speaker 4: good defender and she's a good rebounder.
8:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, well she's a great view about her gone her
8:25
Speaker 3: own stuff. But you know, but the but no, if
8:29
Speaker 3: you're right, but that's the thing, she couldn't start her
8:31
Speaker 3: own league. Name the one that can start her own
8:33
Speaker 3: league and pay her starts there. But until that, if
8:36
Speaker 3: you don't pay her, they can't pay anyone.
8:40
Speaker 4: Right, No, but it she is it, then don't have
8:43
Speaker 4: a league. If you can't pay the players, right, then
8:45
Speaker 4: don't have a league.
8:46
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm sorry with you. I agree, Chris.
8:49
Speaker 4: But the attendance is going up, the ratings are going up.
8:52
Speaker 4: They got the new TV deal. I'm sure they're gonna
8:54
Speaker 4: sign a new TV deal soon anyway because everything is
8:57
Speaker 4: going up. So should they be paid more? Yeah, they
9:00
Speaker 4: be paid Listen, I don't think they should be paid
9:04
Speaker 4: millions of dollars. And I'm sure they don't want as
9:06
Speaker 4: much as the NBA players. All they want, this is all,
9:10
Speaker 4: this is all what they want. They want a bigger
9:13
Speaker 4: piece of the pie. Right, the NBA players, how much
9:16
Speaker 4: percentage of the revenue do they get?
9:18
Speaker 1: Right?
9:18
Speaker 4: They get like fifty percent? Right, I would think let's
9:21
Speaker 4: say let's say they get fifty percent WNBA players are
9:24
Speaker 4: getting nowhere near that, so maybe if you up that
9:28
Speaker 4: a little bit, you know, then you could have an argument.
9:30
Speaker 4: But they definitely deserve more. They shouldn't have to go
9:33
Speaker 4: to Russia to play games, right, that that's not you know,
9:36
Speaker 4: at least give them entertainment money, you know, like whatever
9:40
Speaker 4: it is. I don't know what the amount is. I'm
9:42
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not a financial guy, but it should
9:44
Speaker 4: be more than what they're getting.
9:45
Speaker 3: And I'll agree with you, Chris, go ahead, g I'm sorry.
9:48
Speaker 1: Right, So here's what we have. Okay, Chris, you really
9:51
Speaker 1: nailed it pretty much heart the end. Here's what you have.
9:54
Speaker 1: Javelle Hill. I don't always agree with everything she says. Okay,
9:58
Speaker 1: she's probably the little person agree with the least of
10:01
Speaker 1: who is out there. But this time I see her point,
10:05
Speaker 1: and I'll say why I see her point. Okay, because
10:09
Speaker 1: of the Russian detainment looked bad. And yes, Chris, you
10:13
Speaker 1: were dancing around it that you shouldn't have to go
10:15
Speaker 1: to Russia to subsidize your income. And I repeat the
10:20
Speaker 1: words subsidize or income. Nobody says you have to go
10:23
Speaker 1: out there and give McCain ransom. Yet the league hasn't
10:26
Speaker 1: proven that it could be sufficiently stable for a long time.
10:30
Speaker 1: But you don't want to make sure that they have
10:32
Speaker 1: to go somewhere for a second job. And that's where
10:36
Speaker 1: I see where Jamel is coming from. That's why I
10:39
Speaker 1: brought this topic. A second job much, let's put yourself
10:43
Speaker 1: at risk somewhere like that. But I see the point,
10:46
Speaker 1: and that's why I brought it on. So Jamel, I'm
10:48
Speaker 1: kind of with you on this one. I do agree
10:51
Speaker 1: with you. They certainly need to be paid more money,
10:54
Speaker 1: and a time will tell if they do. Indeed, go
10:56
Speaker 1: ahead and get a little bit more. A lot of
10:59
Speaker 1: things to get to.
11:00
Speaker 2: Can I quick add I was just reading that, however,
11:06
Speaker 2: So estimates placed twenty twenty three revenue for the WNBAT
11:10
Speaker 2: around two hundred million. The league recently secured a new
11:15
Speaker 2: media rights deal effect of twenty twenty six, valued at
11:19
Speaker 2: approximately two hundred million dollars per season, suggesting the potential
11:25
Speaker 2: for growth. So that new media deal starts next year.
11:30
Speaker 1: And not only that, I'm not going to get into
11:31
Speaker 1: specifics on this topic as well, there are some expansion
11:35
Speaker 1: piece coming in in the next few years as well.
11:38
Speaker 1: Not going to get into that tonight. Way too much
11:40
Speaker 1: to get to. But I certainly wanted to talk about
11:42
Speaker 1: this with Jamel. I definitely see her point. And the
11:46
Speaker 1: Britney Grinder was a wake up call to try to
11:48
Speaker 1: get more money, and that particular situation, I understand it,
11:52
Speaker 1: and I see it, and I'm trying to look down
11:54
Speaker 1: in the middle objectively to it. So all right, hey, Mickey,
11:58
Speaker 1: good to see you back in here as well. So
12:00
Speaker 1: let's go out to Sacramento. The Oakland Age temporary stay
12:03
Speaker 1: at Sacramento Suter Health Park there's been actually fraught with challenges,
12:09
Speaker 1: leading to mounting frustration among players in staff. We knew
12:14
Speaker 1: this wasn't gonna be an easy situation in the first place,
12:17
Speaker 1: and for the next two or three years they're gonna
12:18
Speaker 1: have to find a made a wait, make it work. Chris,
12:20
Speaker 1: what are your talks about what's going on with the A's.
12:24
Speaker 4: It's listen, it's a bad situation and it's been it's
12:27
Speaker 4: been a bad situation for how many years now, starting
12:30
Speaker 4: in Oakland and now here, and and you know what,
12:33
Speaker 4: They're playing in a minor league ballpark. You know the
12:35
Speaker 4: balls are flying out there. It's it's it's horrible. But listen,
12:39
Speaker 4: this is one of those things where Major League Baseball,
12:41
Speaker 4: since they waited so long to fix this situation in Oakland,
12:45
Speaker 4: that they're just gonna have to, you know, suck it,
12:48
Speaker 4: suck it up and take that medicine right like like
12:52
Speaker 4: we used to do when we were kids. Right, hold
12:54
Speaker 4: our noses, take our medicine for a couple of years
12:57
Speaker 4: until they moved to Vegas. It's as simple as that.
12:59
Speaker 4: It stinks. It's horrible, but you know what, it's the
13:02
Speaker 4: league's fault that they're in this situation, so deal with it,
13:05
Speaker 4: move on, and Las Vegas can't come here soon enough.
13:09
Speaker 1: Great points, Sorry, George.
13:12
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I think it's a you know, we obviously,
13:15
Speaker 6: Manfred and the MLB powers that be have egg on
13:18
Speaker 6: their face. I mean we didn't anticipate two, not just Sacramento,
13:23
Speaker 6: but then our friends in Tampa Bay with their situation.
13:26
Speaker 6: Of course was the active nature, but the sacramental situation.
13:30
Speaker 6: I agree with what you said, Chris. I mean, this
13:33
Speaker 6: has just been boiling over and it just was delayed
13:37
Speaker 6: all kinds of stupid reasons and people that wanted to
13:40
Speaker 6: help the city, I mean, help the economy down there
13:42
Speaker 6: in Oakland, or build a new place in Oakland because
13:46
Speaker 6: of whatever reason. Listen, this is not something that could
13:50
Speaker 6: not have been done any more crazily crazy than it
13:55
Speaker 6: has been. I think the fans are trying to support
13:58
Speaker 6: that team as much as they can in Sacramento. Yes,
14:00
Speaker 6: it's still minor league stadium. Yes, you're gonna have problems
14:04
Speaker 6: from everything from good sessions, parking, locker rooms, whatever else.
14:07
Speaker 6: They have, grounds crew, whatever, they're just just it's not
14:11
Speaker 6: major league Baseball already, and you know you're taking it,
14:14
Speaker 6: and now you got to live with it for two
14:16
Speaker 6: more years at least.
14:17
Speaker 1: It looks like Jacom.
14:20
Speaker 3: This reminds me of a little piece of trivia I'm
14:22
Speaker 3: about to give. There were nineteen sixty nine there was
14:25
Speaker 3: a team called Seattle Pilots, Yeah, the Sick Stadium from
14:31
Speaker 3: the Neil Sick himself, and they they were working on
14:35
Speaker 3: getting a new stadium. And I don't know if you
14:37
Speaker 3: know about this, Chris, I'll tell you this little story.
14:39
Speaker 3: They're looking to get a night their nice new stadium.
14:42
Speaker 3: Day one opening day of the same they were still
14:44
Speaker 3: building platforms and seats in there. People were staying outside
14:48
Speaker 3: wait for them before the game started. Things were horrible.
14:51
Speaker 3: It was awful. And then and then they found out
14:54
Speaker 3: throughout the season as they were going on, if you
14:56
Speaker 3: had ten thousand people in the stadium, it was fine,
14:58
Speaker 3: but once you had twenty five thous then the plumbing
15:00
Speaker 3: went to hell. So so and then so they had that,
15:05
Speaker 3: so they had to rent porta potties, which ended up
15:08
Speaker 3: getting people locked in those porta potties sometimes because there
15:10
Speaker 3: was the night game and everybody drunk and everything, all
15:13
Speaker 3: kinds of ridiculousness. One year and they were gone. And
15:16
Speaker 3: that was the Milwaukee Brewers, by the way, and and
15:20
Speaker 3: those were the things like that. That was the reason
15:22
Speaker 3: that became the Milwaukee Brewers in the first place, because
15:24
Speaker 3: they had a one year in Seattle like that before
15:26
Speaker 3: they became the Marinders in seventy six. But this is
15:29
Speaker 3: the situation we're dealing with in twenty twenty five. You
15:31
Speaker 3: can understand nineteen sixty nine.
15:33
Speaker 1: Not now.
15:34
Speaker 3: This is just stupid, This is just ridiculous, This is
15:38
Speaker 3: just you know what, this is this childish how they
15:41
Speaker 3: handled the whole Oakland situation. These are billionaires acting like
15:44
Speaker 3: nine year olds. And then and then we've got this
15:47
Speaker 3: situation and now you got two more years of this
15:50
Speaker 3: and I'll bet you get plumbing issues in that stadium
15:52
Speaker 3: eventually too. All Right, No, it could happen, especially if
15:58
Speaker 3: they start getting people. It's like, and they get more,
16:00
Speaker 3: you can have that.
16:01
Speaker 1: You can never know.
16:02
Speaker 3: It's like, it's crazy.
16:04
Speaker 1: Yep, Canty, we're.
16:07
Speaker 2: Gonna build a stadium one point seven five billion dollars
16:11
Speaker 2: for a price tag. They signed the bill back in
16:15
Speaker 2: Nevada in twenty twenty three for the funding, and yet
16:20
Speaker 2: they didn't break ground till June of twenty twenty five.
16:24
Speaker 2: Why are you dragging your feet? I mean, now, the
16:27
Speaker 2: stadium's not gonna be ready to twenty twenty eight, so
16:30
Speaker 2: they're gonna be where they're at for how many years?
16:33
Speaker 2: There they're they're hurting their revenue of MLB. They're hurting
16:40
Speaker 2: their own revenue. But this is their own fault because
16:42
Speaker 2: they knew this was happening. This was that they saw
16:45
Speaker 2: the writing on the wall and they didn't act fast enough.
16:49
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, but you need to be proactive instead
16:54
Speaker 2: of reactive. And now you're being reactive to two stadiums
16:58
Speaker 2: that you're playing in minor league ballparks.
17:03
Speaker 1: So let me ask you guys this. Okay, we're talking
17:06
Speaker 1: about a minor league park? Would you rather play in
17:08
Speaker 1: Oakland in front of three or four five thousand fans
17:11
Speaker 1: in front in a forty five fifty thousand seats? They
17:14
Speaker 1: ain't ever been to Miami. Hello, they don't drawl out
17:17
Speaker 1: down there either. And that's a brand new stadium. So
17:21
Speaker 1: here's what you have. You have an old stadium which
17:24
Speaker 1: is by the way now they're using it for cricket
17:26
Speaker 1: out at the Colisee and for cricket okay. Or you
17:30
Speaker 1: go to a place where at least you have some
17:32
Speaker 1: sort of a home field advantage, where the majority of
17:35
Speaker 1: the place has got fans screaming for you. You know
17:37
Speaker 1: you're in a catch twenty two. I mean, then what
17:40
Speaker 1: the best possible place they can go? Again is putting
17:43
Speaker 1: a band aid on top of a sword. But you
17:46
Speaker 1: want to overpay on the lease in Oakland? Have any
17:48
Speaker 1: of you people been to the Oakland Coliseum before ever?
17:51
Speaker 1: And yeah?
17:52
Speaker 3: No?
17:53
Speaker 1: Is that the Jacob enough? Well? Here I have I
17:58
Speaker 1: cover the lines of the Oakland Raiders there and I'm
18:00
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. I've seen some neighborhoods that spook it,
18:04
Speaker 1: but that one does. And when there aren't many of
18:06
Speaker 1: them there and you're doing it at night. Hey, go
18:09
Speaker 1: to Sacramento. I've been to Sacramentos in decent down. I
18:12
Speaker 1: understand the circumstance or anything but perfect. But still you
18:16
Speaker 1: had to do something to get in front of people
18:17
Speaker 1: that yell and scream and that have vocal gords. Granted,
18:21
Speaker 1: my vocal cords are going to hell, but at least
18:23
Speaker 1: he got four eleven to twelve thousand. They're getting decent
18:26
Speaker 1: numbers for them. So there was no situation when we finished. Okay,
18:33
Speaker 1: there was no situation. That's gonna be easy for the athletics.
18:36
Speaker 1: I just figure that anything they gotta do, as far
18:39
Speaker 1: as I'm considered, better than playing in front of a
18:42
Speaker 1: place where you can hear a pin drop.
18:44
Speaker 5: The Masoleum they used to call the Oakland Coulsey and
18:46
Speaker 5: the Masoleum.
18:47
Speaker 6: When I mean the Athletics couldn't get any fans exactly right.
18:52
Speaker 6: It was a different facility for football, but for baseball, Yeah,
18:56
Speaker 6: it sucked.
18:57
Speaker 4: You guys think it would be Do you think it'd
18:59
Speaker 4: be possible if they could have shared let's say San
19:04
Speaker 4: Franz Stadium.
19:05
Speaker 1: They wanted to do that, but the Giants turned them down.
19:08
Speaker 1: They didn't want no part of them. The Giants couldn't
19:12
Speaker 1: get the An's out of there fast enough because then
19:15
Speaker 1: they own the entire Bay area, just like it did
19:18
Speaker 1: many years ago when the Raiders left and then the
19:21
Speaker 1: forty nine ers own the entire Bay Chris, I see
19:25
Speaker 1: your point. Okay, let's make sure that let's make sure
19:28
Speaker 1: that pizza doesn't have onions, anchovies and the rest of
19:32
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But we don't see the cheese and
19:34
Speaker 1: the sauce on it. Brother, That's what they tried to do.
19:37
Speaker 1: They wouldn't do it. The Giants couldn't get them out
19:41
Speaker 1: of there fast enough.
19:43
Speaker 3: Was it the Stadium of Spooky or wasn't Mark Davis's haircut?
19:49
Speaker 1: Now I feel the Alzheimer's is coming on faster. I'd
19:51
Speaker 1: rather forget it. No, I was there.
19:54
Speaker 6: It was.
19:55
Speaker 1: Of course, you're watching the Raiders all the Skeltons around two,
19:57
Speaker 1: so that'll spook you. It was just an interesting place.
20:03
Speaker 2: I have to ask an interesting question. We can We
20:06
Speaker 2: can build the stadium inside a racetrack and do it
20:10
Speaker 2: for one game, but we can't build anything for these
20:14
Speaker 2: two teams that are playing the whole rest of the
20:17
Speaker 2: year in these small stadiums. That doesn't make.
20:21
Speaker 5: Sense to me.
20:23
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a questions. Hey, you're gonna bring
20:25
Speaker 1: that up. Now you'll get a really, seriously really figure
20:28
Speaker 1: gonna put the Tampa Bay Rays over at Raymond James
20:32
Speaker 1: Stadium just because of Savannah Banana do it? Doesn't mean
20:35
Speaker 1: they're hitting the home runs. They may be hitting home
20:37
Speaker 1: runs at the gate, but they're not doing it play
20:39
Speaker 1: regular faithball. So that one's out of the way. I said,
20:43
Speaker 1: you're tying the racetrack to that situation, But what the
20:46
Speaker 1: hell you gonna do? A whole line never been there
20:49
Speaker 1: have been to California.
20:51
Speaker 4: But how many years has it been a poopole?
20:53
Speaker 3: Like?
20:54
Speaker 4: How long has it been this bed? They could have
20:56
Speaker 4: been for a long years time.
20:58
Speaker 1: The bottom line is the politics and that it is ridiculous,
21:01
Speaker 1: like it isn't a lot of these yes politics Unfortunately
21:04
Speaker 1: I have a couple of political things I want to
21:06
Speaker 1: talking about tonight, but not too arts like I'm going here.
21:09
Speaker 1: So but it's interesting. The bottom line is the Apes
21:12
Speaker 1: are doing the best in candate in that situation. I
21:15
Speaker 1: get it. And of course we all know full well
21:18
Speaker 1: that you know the race situation was just unfortunate because
21:21
Speaker 1: of bad weather.
21:22
Speaker 3: Well, they did play the next day there, but Candy,
21:25
Speaker 3: you brought up the racetrack. It was great when it
21:28
Speaker 3: was sunny on Sunday the next day, and when it
21:31
Speaker 3: was raining though they couldn't drain it. It was ridiculous that.
21:35
Speaker 3: I mean, it looks stupid. The whole thing was that
21:37
Speaker 3: goes about the flood like we have Noah's Arc. So
21:40
Speaker 3: it's like, so that's why they don't do those type
21:42
Speaker 3: of things, is because these are just repre made stadium
21:45
Speaker 3: or all that kind of stuff. It's like, it's hard
21:48
Speaker 3: to be able to make it for one hundred and
21:49
Speaker 3: sixty two.
21:50
Speaker 2: But Jacob Wrigley Field, they have rainouts too, Detroit they
21:56
Speaker 2: have rainouts too. I mean it's not like they put
21:58
Speaker 2: building a stadium that has uh that has the retractable roof.
22:03
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the smartest thing Milwaukee did. But
22:06
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if we can find money to put
22:09
Speaker 2: a stadium inside a racetrack, there's got to be something
22:13
Speaker 2: we can do to help these teams so they're not
22:15
Speaker 2: playing in such a small stadium, and I don't know,
22:19
Speaker 2: maybe there's a mid size or what they could do
22:21
Speaker 2: to you know.
22:22
Speaker 1: A different team. They would have had ten fifteen, twenty
22:26
Speaker 1: years ago. They've been dealing with it. Not that they're
22:28
Speaker 1: twenty bcconeers. These are in the situations that they're in
22:32
Speaker 1: because Oak of the dire straits. They had to do
22:34
Speaker 1: something in Tampa Wall. It's inevitable they're going over to Hillbrop.
22:39
Speaker 1: I'll get into that another day. So I get it.
22:42
Speaker 7: Doesn't they have a nice, beautiful dome stadium built out there,
22:46
Speaker 7: like maybe they could have could could they have reconfigured
22:49
Speaker 7: the dome, you know, to play a few games there.
22:54
Speaker 4: I don't know.
22:54
Speaker 1: No, you don't think so right, No, I don't think
22:57
Speaker 1: all right, let's you know what, Let's move on. Yeah,
23:00
Speaker 1: I understand where we're coming from, orally talking about the
23:03
Speaker 1: fact that we know that nobody likes playing at that place. Unfortunately,
23:06
Speaker 1: you have to tough it out for two or three
23:07
Speaker 1: years and that's about it. No, there's no easy situation.
23:11
Speaker 1: I don't know what the press situation was like. All
23:13
Speaker 1: I know is when the A's came down to Miami,
23:16
Speaker 1: the travel contingent for travel media wasn't very high, maybe
23:20
Speaker 1: one or two, so that was about it. Plenty of
23:22
Speaker 1: good seats of the press box if you were attending
23:24
Speaker 1: that series. All right, Well, since Candy brought up the racetrack,
23:27
Speaker 1: we'll go to a lighter topic. Okay, unless you want
23:30
Speaker 1: to continue the racetrack think can you let me know
23:33
Speaker 1: and I'll give you the whole show to host. Okay, right, well,
23:37
Speaker 1: Japanning billionaire built a two hundred million dollars racetrack, just
23:41
Speaker 1: the race with the wife and kids. Isn't that nice? Jacob?
23:44
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely beautiful. You just hope his wife is and
23:48
Speaker 3: Danica Patrick, so I mean that's the whole thing. You
23:51
Speaker 3: have to hope. And then he loses all the time.
23:53
Speaker 3: Then it'd be like John Elway when he would lose
23:56
Speaker 3: a pool game and he would just sell it, you know,
23:58
Speaker 3: just sell the whole table. You know, you could just
24:00
Speaker 3: see him do something like that. It's kind of crazy.
24:04
Speaker 5: Like that.
24:04
Speaker 1: All right, missus racetrack, what do you think?
24:08
Speaker 2: Hey? Whatever, If you have that kind of money and
24:10
Speaker 2: you want to spend it on a racetrack, go right ahead.
24:15
Speaker 2: I could see a lot of better things you could
24:17
Speaker 2: do with that kind of money. But I don't have
24:19
Speaker 2: that kind of money to be able to say, oh yeah, Scott,
24:23
Speaker 2: just buy build me a racetrack.
24:27
Speaker 1: I don't care what kind of shape I'm in I'm
24:29
Speaker 1: going to get. If I get an opportunity for an
24:31
Speaker 1: adrenaline rush like that, I'm going to do it, all right, George.
24:36
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, they said that this.
24:39
Speaker 6: Was designed by a fellow that's done designing Formula one
24:43
Speaker 6: circuits and two point seventeen mile track with twenty two corners,
24:48
Speaker 6: dramatic elevation changes and views of Mount Fiji, Food and
24:53
Speaker 6: Tokyo Bay. It also includes luxury things, pool, gymnasium and
24:58
Speaker 6: karaoke room. I mean, yeah, this is unbelievable. I have
25:02
Speaker 6: never heard of somebody doing something like that to that
25:05
Speaker 6: large extent for just being a gift. But the fact
25:09
Speaker 6: better is we all know in the back of our
25:10
Speaker 6: minds there's gonna be some racing there, and it's not
25:13
Speaker 6: just going to be playful stuff or try to please
25:15
Speaker 6: his wife. It's going to be regular circuit, whether it's
25:18
Speaker 6: Formula F one or whether it's Indie caror somebody's going
25:21
Speaker 6: to try that track out.
25:22
Speaker 3: We know that.
25:23
Speaker 5: So Japan, you got a brand new facility.
25:26
Speaker 6: Now you've got to work out trying to get on
25:28
Speaker 6: on the circuit for having a major race there once
25:32
Speaker 6: or twice.
25:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny though, it's funny that man would spend
25:35
Speaker 5: all that money and give that as a gift.
25:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, come for a white band kid. Really, seriously, really,
25:41
Speaker 1: what do you got wrong your eyes?
25:44
Speaker 5: Not that much money. I wouldn't spend that money.
25:50
Speaker 1: You spend somebody else's money. That's all right, everybody does it.
25:53
Speaker 1: Don't feel too bad, George. There's plenty of other moments
25:55
Speaker 1: I can get you embarrassed up, but not that one.
25:57
Speaker 1: That's a lot of two hundred million dollars just to
25:59
Speaker 1: race your wife and kids. Is one big expensive adrenaline rush.
26:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, you might be right. Maybe he'll find a
26:05
Speaker 1: way to go ahead and get a race. Let alone
26:10
Speaker 1: the fact that's a Japanese guy, all right, Chris. I
26:12
Speaker 1: mean the only race track I don't know about it
26:14
Speaker 1: is on Friday night against the Vino at least forty
26:17
Speaker 1: eight hours.
26:18
Speaker 4: That's gonna be great. But you know what I mean,
26:21
Speaker 4: all these it's it's disgusting what these rich people do, right,
26:25
Speaker 4: They build a racetrack when you know what they could
26:28
Speaker 4: be donating that to help people, and there's tons of homeless.
26:32
Speaker 1: You might still do that, come on, japany wait, wait, wait, wait,
26:37
Speaker 1: this is a Japanese billionaire. Forget about that Japanese billionaire
26:41
Speaker 1: that wants I'm a toy with his family. Why I
26:47
Speaker 1: respect him for that.
26:48
Speaker 4: But on the other side, yeah, he might be still
26:51
Speaker 4: doing that. But yeah, instead of building one hundred million
26:54
Speaker 4: dollar racetrack or whatever he paid to build it, you
26:58
Speaker 4: know what he could have helped. I'm sure there's a
27:00
Speaker 4: lot of needy people in Japan too, not just here,
27:03
Speaker 4: but I'm sure there's a lot of needy people there.
27:05
Speaker 4: Like if I was if I was the Amazon guy,
27:08
Speaker 4: you know what's his name, i'd beat building.
27:14
Speaker 1: And he come on, it's only two hundred million bucks.
27:17
Speaker 1: He's a billionaire. Get two undred million.
27:19
Speaker 3: That's so.
27:20
Speaker 1: I mean, that's only exactly a million dollars.
27:26
Speaker 4: Think about that, two hundred million dollars to go play on,
27:29
Speaker 4: to go, go go, go race your car. Honey, you're good,
27:33
Speaker 4: don't worry about it.
27:33
Speaker 1: Now, go ra I want to race against my wife
27:35
Speaker 1: and my kids. Don't get any better than that. Oh,
27:39
Speaker 1: bring it in, let's.
27:40
Speaker 3: Go, Chris. They give a lot of money to charity. Still,
27:45
Speaker 3: they just have a lot.
27:46
Speaker 4: I'm sure they do.
27:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure they do. Two or a million dollars
27:49
Speaker 1: for a little toy like that. That's not a big deal.
27:52
Speaker 1: I'll catch a wife and the caids. Yeah, well, seriously,
27:57
Speaker 1: anything like that. Never mind, we got two hundred million
28:03
Speaker 1: dollars if it buys you that kind of entertainment. Boy,
28:06
Speaker 1: the Japanese guy has one interesting take for entertainment, and
28:09
Speaker 1: it's worth two hundred million just to go ahead and
28:12
Speaker 1: raise your wife and your kids.
28:14
Speaker 3: Hey, I went to a racetrack for for a guest today.
28:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, graduation.
28:21
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's go on to some other things.
28:23
Speaker 1: I thought this was a good one to lay, you know,
28:25
Speaker 1: since we Candy wants to put racetracks inside of other
28:29
Speaker 1: things and then try to fix a couple of situations
28:31
Speaker 1: with two teams that are dormant moving to different parts
28:35
Speaker 1: of where they're at. But then they can put a
28:37
Speaker 1: baseball stadium in.
28:39
Speaker 4: There's plenty of room there.
28:41
Speaker 1: Right, don't get me going there.
28:45
Speaker 4: It's bigger than Bristol.
28:47
Speaker 1: Right, okay, Oh you're talking with the track.
28:50
Speaker 4: I thought you could put a station.
28:53
Speaker 1: No, don't get me start. I know what they could do.
28:57
Speaker 1: I've been to that truck enough times, all right, I've
28:59
Speaker 1: been a couple of times. Yeah, me too, Okay, I'm
29:03
Speaker 1: with you, all right, Let's keep going. Otherwise all come
29:05
Speaker 1: up with some crazier ideas for a show that already
29:07
Speaker 1: still you haven't even heard the rest of them yet,
29:10
Speaker 1: you only heard just a few of them and can't
29:13
Speaker 1: he's not anywhere near that station. Break. Let's go to
29:15
Speaker 1: a pundit's fundit and Jacob, why don't you sid he
29:17
Speaker 1: it around Jabari Parker's story that you were talking about,
29:21
Speaker 1: she had a different one.
29:22
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I would do the Jabari Parker sidety
29:25
Speaker 3: I was. I said something over to Scott Royer today.
29:28
Speaker 3: I talked about Jabari Parker.
29:29
Speaker 1: He did four years in.
29:30
Speaker 3: The NBA and he decided I'm gonna I'm gonna go
29:33
Speaker 3: to Europe. He didn't go because they couldn't get a job.
29:37
Speaker 3: He went because he still could have gotten a job
29:40
Speaker 3: in the NBA. He did it because he wanted to
29:42
Speaker 3: be more competitive. He was finding out as he was
29:46
Speaker 3: going through the teams. He's going through the league and
29:48
Speaker 3: stuff that only like about twelve teams truly want to compete,
29:54
Speaker 3: and everybody else is trying to get. Everybody else in
29:58
Speaker 3: the whole thing is trying to get They're trying to
30:00
Speaker 3: get that draft pick. That lottery they're trying to hopefully
30:04
Speaker 3: get that one for you know what I'm saying, that one,
30:06
Speaker 3: you know, that number one, and that little thing in
30:08
Speaker 3: the balls, that lottery things. And it's like, and I'm
30:12
Speaker 3: with him on something like this. It's like he knows
30:14
Speaker 3: if he goes to Spain and he's at Barcelona right now,
30:16
Speaker 3: that everybody in the league is gonna try to compete.
30:19
Speaker 3: And see, this is the thing about a lot of
30:21
Speaker 3: these athletes. A lot of these athletes won high school titles,
30:25
Speaker 3: high school championship, they went for they were in the
30:29
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament. They're all winning, going for winning. Now he's
30:32
Speaker 3: going into the NBA and he's finding out that twelve
30:35
Speaker 3: teams wanted to go in another eighteen are going for
30:38
Speaker 3: those balls. And it reminds me of George carl in
30:42
Speaker 3: his first season in Cleveland, started two and eighteen and
30:45
Speaker 3: he got to the playoffs against Boston, actually got to
30:48
Speaker 3: win against him. After all that stuff. He wanted to
30:52
Speaker 3: compete no matter what, and he got the most impossible
30:55
Speaker 3: thing from two and eighteen, got a playoff. We don't
30:58
Speaker 3: see that anymore. This was the now the ownership would
31:01
Speaker 3: tell him to stop or they would probably fire him
31:03
Speaker 3: for trying. And it's probably it's coming back to me
31:07
Speaker 3: now that it's it is like, for instance, the bulls
31:11
Speaker 3: are around the same at all times. Certain teams are
31:15
Speaker 3: around the same at all times. Like you, I mean,
31:18
Speaker 3: you got to realize this is a two time champion
31:22
Speaker 3: college champion with Billy Donovan and he's also been to
31:24
Speaker 3: the finals in the NBA. Why is he constantly about
31:27
Speaker 3: thirty nine to forty three every year? They're not giving
31:30
Speaker 3: him help. It's obvious that these are Chicago's trying to
31:34
Speaker 3: be that way. There's probably more teams trying to be
31:37
Speaker 3: that way. It's why they don't get a mic now
31:40
Speaker 3: it's coming to that back to me is why they
31:41
Speaker 3: don't get a Mike Malone, why they don't like a
31:43
Speaker 3: lot of these teams don't get these ones that are
31:46
Speaker 3: right in the open to win because they'll probably tell
31:49
Speaker 3: them if you if you lose your first like fight,
31:52
Speaker 3: if you go fight and fight, and wants you to
31:53
Speaker 3: quit for the year, and it's like, that's got to stop.
31:56
Speaker 3: It's like, what is really by its up? It's one
32:00
Speaker 3: if you would automatically get the number one, but it's
32:02
Speaker 3: another if you're one of sixty or on one of
32:05
Speaker 3: what twelve for the ball for the balls for the lottery.
32:09
Speaker 3: It's like you're not guaranteed even if you get the
32:11
Speaker 3: worst team. Michael Jordan had the worst team in the
32:14
Speaker 3: history of the league with the Bobcats, and he still
32:16
Speaker 3: didn't get number one. Yeah, that's true, and he could
32:19
Speaker 3: have had Anthony Davis. So why tank? Why tank? That's
32:24
Speaker 3: what I'm saying every single time. Why tank if you're
32:27
Speaker 3: not guaranteed number one? Not that I'd want to anyway,
32:30
Speaker 3: but there's where my point is.
32:32
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Kene, do you want to address this
32:34
Speaker 1: with Javari Barker.
32:38
Speaker 2: I mean he used to play in the NBA. I
32:41
Speaker 2: remember that. You know, if he thought he could take
32:45
Speaker 2: his talent someplace else, more power to him. But obviously
32:49
Speaker 2: it's not working out for him.
32:51
Speaker 5: So uh.
32:53
Speaker 2: You know they always say the grass is greener, will
32:55
Speaker 2: sometimes the grass isn't always greener.
32:59
Speaker 1: You know what, We're gonna leave us as a standalone
33:01
Speaker 1: pundit topic if you want to take it for the night,
33:03
Speaker 1: unless you have something else you want to add later
33:05
Speaker 1: on your pundit segment.
33:06
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see with that. Yeah, we'll find out just said,
33:08
Speaker 3: I'm gone right now.
33:11
Speaker 4: The problem can I can I just say a little
33:12
Speaker 4: thing with this. I think the big problem with the
33:14
Speaker 4: NBA is it's like, if you don't have a superstar
33:18
Speaker 4: on your team, you have no shot anymore. It's that's
33:21
Speaker 4: that's what kind of league it's become. It's it's not
33:23
Speaker 4: like it was back in the eighties and nineties when
33:25
Speaker 4: when you know, when the NBA was fun, right, It's
33:28
Speaker 4: not like that anymore. You need a superstar player now,
33:30
Speaker 4: it's it's it is what it is. So if you
33:32
Speaker 4: don't have that superstar player, yeah, maybe the team is like,
33:35
Speaker 4: all right, hey, if we could get a better shot
33:37
Speaker 4: at getting that lottery pick, that first overall pick and
33:40
Speaker 4: get the whoever the kid is, yeah, let's do it.
33:43
Speaker 4: So I can understand what he's saying, Parker. But that's
33:46
Speaker 4: unfortunately what the NBA is about.
33:48
Speaker 1: Now. I'll accept that as a last word on this topic,
33:52
Speaker 1: No problem, Marlet'll talk about Derek Jeter was inducted in
33:55
Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame with ninety nine point seventy
33:57
Speaker 1: five percent of the vote, nearly unanimous. I cannot go.
34:00
Speaker 1: He he ain't get a hundred percent mister Yank, what
34:02
Speaker 1: do you think?
34:04
Speaker 4: You know what, it's ridiculous that he didn't get one
34:07
Speaker 4: hundred percent. But again it's one guy or woman, whoever
34:10
Speaker 4: that person was that had to be out there and
34:14
Speaker 4: and be that person that didn't vote for him, that
34:17
Speaker 4: didn't go on hundred, that didn't make him you know, unanimous. Now,
34:20
Speaker 4: he shouldn't. He shouldn't be the only one that should
34:23
Speaker 4: be in the Armists, obviously marrying Rivera. But I mean
34:25
Speaker 4: all the players before that that got in, you know,
34:28
Speaker 4: a lot of them should have been one hundred percent, right,
34:30
Speaker 4: I mean, we could go down the list, up and down.
34:33
Speaker 4: We don't have to name every guy, but yeah, I
34:35
Speaker 4: mean it's ridiculous that, uh, you know, these these voters
34:40
Speaker 4: have you know, you know, have this thing where oh,
34:43
Speaker 4: nobody should be one hundred percent. If Babe Ruth wasn't,
34:46
Speaker 4: then this person shouldn't. It's kind of ridiculous that it's
34:48
Speaker 4: gone on for how many years now? I mean, this
34:51
Speaker 4: is like a hundred years that we're talking about that
34:53
Speaker 4: it's the same the same line. Oh, if Babe Ruth
34:56
Speaker 4: wasn't one hundred percent, then you know, you know, this
34:59
Speaker 4: guy should you know, poull. Shitn't discussion, it's it's It
35:02
Speaker 4: makes no sense to me. I think it's stupid. If
35:05
Speaker 4: you want to vote a guy one hundred percent, do it,
35:08
Speaker 4: it should be done.
35:10
Speaker 1: Excellent points, Chris, if I wanted you to start off high.
35:13
Speaker 6: George, Well, we don't know what happened between him and
35:16
Speaker 6: that one reporter, that one writer. Unfortunately they're human and
35:21
Speaker 6: the unfortunately unfortunately human.
35:25
Speaker 3: I'm glad.
35:30
Speaker 6: That there's a story behind that which we may never know,
35:35
Speaker 6: but there could have been a run in in the clubhouse,
35:38
Speaker 6: there could have been something happened emotionally between those two people,
35:42
Speaker 6: Jeter and the writer.
35:43
Speaker 5: We don't know, but it's still a dumb excuse.
35:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not going to vote for you then the
35:47
Speaker 6: way you didn't answer my question or some stupid thing
35:51
Speaker 6: like that. No, I agree he should have been a
35:53
Speaker 6: hundred percent, but so many other ones are not one
35:55
Speaker 6: hundred percent either. And the fact of the matter is
35:58
Speaker 6: is he's a rightfully in that Hall of fame. He
36:00
Speaker 6: got in in the first year of eligibility, overwhelmingly. But
36:04
Speaker 6: there always is one cracker jack or crackpot, whatever you
36:07
Speaker 6: want to call him, that has a grudge to bear
36:10
Speaker 6: and it's unfortunate.
36:11
Speaker 5: But it's been going on for ballot after ballot, year
36:14
Speaker 5: after year, not Candy, So.
36:24
Speaker 2: We don't know who voted what way. Like George said,
36:30
Speaker 2: could there have been a beef. But here's my thing,
36:34
Speaker 2: even if you had a beef or a run in
36:37
Speaker 2: with Derek Jeter, when you're voting, are you voting on
36:42
Speaker 2: your relationship with Derek Jeter or are you voting on
36:46
Speaker 2: his credentials to get into the Hall of Fame? And see,
36:49
Speaker 2: I think sometimes we missed judge, or we misguide our
36:54
Speaker 2: feelings and put project them into some of our voting.
36:59
Speaker 2: If you're gonna you're voting for someone to get into
37:02
Speaker 2: a Hall of fame because of the work they did
37:05
Speaker 2: on the field, not the relationship they had with you
37:08
Speaker 2: or with somebody else. The only exception, I guess I
37:13
Speaker 2: would say is that if they had a relationship with
37:17
Speaker 2: a drug or a performance enhancing drug or something like that,
37:22
Speaker 2: that's a little different.
37:23
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're going to open it. Let's go. She's
37:36
Speaker 1: the one that she's the one that has to deal
37:38
Speaker 1: with these at the end. And if I run at
37:39
Speaker 1: a time issues, it'll be because she opened up new
37:42
Speaker 1: cans of worms remember that, because.
37:47
Speaker 2: Let's let's not get there. But no, that's what I mean.
37:50
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is when you're voting on something like this,
37:54
Speaker 2: you have to take it seriously and it's about their
37:58
Speaker 2: play on the field, not what about your relationship or
38:01
Speaker 2: whatever happened between you two.
38:04
Speaker 1: So but it happens, let me tell you, writers don't care.
38:08
Speaker 1: They can stick it to you. They will all right,
38:10
Speaker 1: go ahead, Jacob.
38:11
Speaker 3: It reminds me of the new King of the Hill
38:13
Speaker 3: when he had took his first uber and he goes, oh,
38:16
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you a four.
38:17
Speaker 1: You I think you need to earn a five.
38:20
Speaker 3: You need to earn five. Hey, what's this two? And
38:24
Speaker 3: that's what reminds me of It's like it's all politics. Yeah,
38:30
Speaker 3: it's all politics, every ounce of this. It's like, oh,
38:33
Speaker 3: I don't like It's like you know something that's been
38:36
Speaker 3: our I mean, we're not gonna open this part of
38:38
Speaker 3: the candle words. I'm just gonna say it this way.
38:40
Speaker 3: It's been twenty years of our own politics. We see
38:43
Speaker 3: on the news. It's like, if you don't like me,
38:45
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna give you this or I'm not gonna
38:46
Speaker 3: get this stuff it's like it didn't start with Now,
38:49
Speaker 3: I promise you that it's just a little louder about it.
38:52
Speaker 3: But it's like, but we're if we see it on
38:54
Speaker 3: the news, like with the in Washington, d C. We're
38:56
Speaker 3: gonna see it here. We're gonna see somebody that didn't.
38:59
Speaker 3: We're gonna see somebody. Oh, he insulted. Remember the whole
39:04
Speaker 3: thing with the Yankees. There was a beef with the Yankees.
39:07
Speaker 3: I'm not even saying about a Hall of Fame thing
39:09
Speaker 3: that started a thing that said if any would goes
39:11
Speaker 3: to the Yankees, he retire. It's called Ken Grivey Junior,
39:14
Speaker 3: all because Billy Martin want him running around in the
39:17
Speaker 3: on the field. And it's like and there's just little
39:21
Speaker 3: things that always happen. You don't know the story. It's stupid.
39:24
Speaker 3: And it's like what happened with the Each Hero too,
39:28
Speaker 3: that was ninety nine.
39:30
Speaker 1: All right, Well there, now you're leading a mind territory. Okay,
39:34
Speaker 1: that's good. I'm glad you did that. So now I'm
39:37
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and take it over, and you're handing
39:39
Speaker 1: me the rock to finish this topic. And then we're
39:41
Speaker 1: going to internet. Just don't trip over there.
39:43
Speaker 3: Just don't trip when you're taking the baton.
39:45
Speaker 1: Oh god, I don't need that. I got enough medical problem.
39:47
Speaker 4: That's the best one. I answered this question.
39:49
Speaker 3: Go for it.
39:49
Speaker 1: I will hear you know what, there should be three
39:52
Speaker 1: hundred percent. You have Derek Jeter and Echro Suzuki, Thank
39:56
Speaker 1: you very much. And I'm leaving it at that. Zuki
39:59
Speaker 1: should have gotten that hundred percent. And even but the
40:02
Speaker 1: person didn't want to show us station and he had
40:04
Speaker 1: a chance to have dinner at his house, and Derek
40:06
Speaker 1: Jeter should have gotten his for all I know, could
40:08
Speaker 1: have been a Red Sox writer than said no because
40:10
Speaker 1: they hate each other. And I'm leaving it at that.
40:12
Speaker 4: Make the ballot public.
40:14
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, but that will never happen either.
40:16
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to show their face. They just don't. I
40:18
Speaker 1: see your point. It just won't happen. But I will
40:21
Speaker 1: say this, I am going to talk about international travel,
40:24
Speaker 1: one of my newest toys, and I'm going to put
40:26
Speaker 1: things in perspective really quickly. Okay, that we're in London
40:31
Speaker 1: on the first half of our trip, and get this,
40:33
Speaker 1: the US strikes three Iranian nuclear sites, and President Trump
40:38
Speaker 1: said jointly joining Israel's effort to decimate the country's nuclear program.
40:44
Speaker 1: This on that front, and things have been quiet on
40:48
Speaker 1: that front ever since. Why am I even bringing this
40:50
Speaker 1: up on the Sports show. I'll tell you what. Before
40:53
Speaker 1: I took this trip overseas. It's one thing to sit
40:56
Speaker 1: in our own little confined from America. I think in
40:58
Speaker 1: everything you saved, all of them sitting in loving and
41:01
Speaker 1: all this business take care of internationally, then you're wondering
41:04
Speaker 1: what world reaction is gonna be. And if that doesn't
41:08
Speaker 1: put international perspective into travel or international I don't know
41:12
Speaker 1: what is, you know, And.
41:16
Speaker 3: Well, the big thing is, I can say this part
41:18
Speaker 3: for you. It would be a little it would be
41:20
Speaker 3: a little bit skittish for somebody to go across the
41:23
Speaker 3: world and something like this, because for something along those
41:27
Speaker 3: lines right now, especially when the world is so that
41:31
Speaker 3: it is so small now every right, everybody, this isn't
41:35
Speaker 3: just like oh Brits or Irishmen or anything like that.
41:38
Speaker 3: You got people from Iran, you got people from Iraq,
41:41
Speaker 3: you got people from Pakistan, you got people from all
41:44
Speaker 3: of them all over the world, and you get it
41:46
Speaker 3: bombed everything all of a sudden, you meet somebody that's
41:48
Speaker 3: from those areas. So now and then and guess what,
41:51
Speaker 3: you're American. So now it's one of those things. It's
41:54
Speaker 3: like and they can tell it really fast, so I
41:57
Speaker 3: can see what you're talking about.
41:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, the bottom line is is this. I mean, we're
42:02
Speaker 1: all the way out in London and I can't say
42:04
Speaker 1: it enough, and all of a sudden, this thing takes
42:06
Speaker 1: place where he's stricting the nuclear site. Of course they're retaliated,
42:09
Speaker 1: and he's joining his reose efforts in estimating Iran. I'm
42:12
Speaker 1: not gonna get take a position on it, but all
42:14
Speaker 1: I'm just saying is it's just when you're here in
42:16
Speaker 1: the United States, you're use seeing it. Then you go
42:18
Speaker 1: over these all of a sudden you think a little
42:20
Speaker 1: bit differently because you're across the pod. Okay, let's continue
42:25
Speaker 1: on to Major League Baseball. That's all I'm saying about it.
42:28
Speaker 1: I'm not getting political. But you know, when you had
42:30
Speaker 1: your first trip overseats tonight, I'm not going to tell
42:32
Speaker 1: you make your own guy, let me use it. All
42:36
Speaker 1: I was giving you was an international perspective, travel without
42:40
Speaker 1: the chopsticks. All right? Major League Baseball? Okay. Osie Alvarado
42:45
Speaker 1: has officially been reinstated from the restricted list. Nolan Hoffman
42:50
Speaker 1: was optioned. Alvarado is not eligible for the postseason. Basically,
42:54
Speaker 1: all this is is a trade deadline move.
42:58
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Chris, Listen for the Phillies, I think this
43:01
Speaker 4: is great to add another big time arm to the bullpen.
43:05
Speaker 4: I know he's not gonna be eligible for the playoffs,
43:07
Speaker 4: but you know what, these next thirty something games like
43:11
Speaker 4: this is gonna be big for Alvarado too, right, to
43:14
Speaker 4: kind of show that, Listen, I messed up, but I
43:17
Speaker 4: can make up for it at least in these games
43:19
Speaker 4: for you and kind of rest maybe some of the
43:22
Speaker 4: other guys if I could take up some of these innings, right,
43:25
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's huge for the Phillies.
43:28
Speaker 4: Gives them a huge, huge boost down the stretch here
43:32
Speaker 4: on these last thirty games. You know, and Robinson is
43:36
Speaker 4: pitching well too since he joined them. Yeah, this is
43:39
Speaker 4: huge for the Phillies, especially after the bad news with Wheeler.
43:42
Speaker 4: I mean, right, wheel is probably gonna be out. That's
43:45
Speaker 4: that was a humongous blow and that's gonna be their
43:47
Speaker 4: big blow going into the playoffs losing Wheeler. But listen,
43:51
Speaker 4: Alvarado getting him for these last thirty games, that's that's
43:53
Speaker 4: a huge boost for them for that bullpen.
43:56
Speaker 5: George, Yeah, I agree, it is a huge boost. What
44:01
Speaker 5: is he thirty years old?
44:03
Speaker 6: His career stats are nineteen wins, twenty six losses, but
44:07
Speaker 6: a really good era three point thirty nine and his
44:11
Speaker 6: major league career fifty two saves. Yeah, the Phillies, I mean,
44:14
Speaker 6: they're going all in. We know that Dave Dombrowski and company.
44:18
Speaker 6: They're going all in.
44:19
Speaker 5: They want to win it.
44:20
Speaker 6: This is the year for them, they feel, and obviously
44:23
Speaker 6: they're every step along the way is important to them
44:25
Speaker 6: to take.
44:26
Speaker 5: They're loaded with offense. We already know that they got
44:29
Speaker 5: a killer lineup, and the pitching staff is always the
44:32
Speaker 5: one that sometimes has let them down.
44:35
Speaker 6: So I think Alvarado, like you said, he may not
44:38
Speaker 6: be eligible for postseason, but hell he's he's going to
44:40
Speaker 6: do his best job to try to get them there.
44:43
Speaker 6: I really think that he still has some good, good
44:45
Speaker 6: baseball left and I really think it's a It's.
44:48
Speaker 5: A positive for the Phillies.
44:49
Speaker 1: Scott Cay.
44:52
Speaker 2: Alvarado allowed no runs in five rehab appearances with Lehigh
44:57
Speaker 2: Valley and allowed four hits, struck four batters, and issued
45:01
Speaker 2: four walks across five innings. To make room, they've optioned
45:06
Speaker 2: Nolan Hoffman to Lehigh Valley. You know, you feel bad
45:13
Speaker 2: because they say he took a weight loss drug and
45:17
Speaker 2: didn't know that part of that in that drug was
45:21
Speaker 2: a band substance. Whether he knew or didn't know, I mean,
45:27
Speaker 2: the team should know and the teams should have already
45:29
Speaker 2: instructed him. Is it a boost for Philly? Of course
45:33
Speaker 2: it is, but they also have to be careful because yes,
45:39
Speaker 2: you want to rest some of your players, but you
45:41
Speaker 2: don't want to rest them too much because they're used
45:44
Speaker 2: to going all these games and they need to if
45:46
Speaker 2: they're in a groove. You need to keep them in
45:48
Speaker 2: a groove and you need to keep them going and
45:50
Speaker 2: their arms hot and stuff like that. So while yes,
45:54
Speaker 2: it is definitely a boost because who doesn't need another
45:57
Speaker 2: arm or couldn't use another arm, especially a good arm.
46:01
Speaker 3: Jacob, Well, you know something, the big thing about is
46:05
Speaker 3: this is the time to do it now if they're
46:06
Speaker 3: going to do something like this, because really, by itself,
46:09
Speaker 3: as far as as far as hitting, Dodgers kind of
46:13
Speaker 3: stopped hitting, Cubs kind of stopped hitting. They but the
46:17
Speaker 3: pitching's kind of helping. You're kind of like fourteen to
46:19
Speaker 3: ten in your last twenty four the Mets have stopped hitting.
46:22
Speaker 3: These are teams that are struggling Philly sort of, but
46:26
Speaker 3: they're six and a half ahead. This is the time
46:29
Speaker 3: now to take advantage when there's so many of the teams,
46:32
Speaker 3: whether you're wild card or in the or leader in
46:34
Speaker 3: the divisions, to go take it and run away when
46:37
Speaker 3: it be a chance for a World Series, because an
46:40
Speaker 3: unusual amount of top teams are struggling with their hitting
46:44
Speaker 3: and or struggling with pitching, depending on it's just not both.
46:47
Speaker 3: Because if that's the case, and you've got the Rockies.
46:49
Speaker 3: But the big thing, but the big thing about this
46:53
Speaker 3: is somebody is going to make a run in September.
46:56
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say multiple because there's two many
46:58
Speaker 3: struggling teams. So the Phillies are gonna give this this
47:01
Speaker 3: shot even if Alvarado can't make it through. But with
47:04
Speaker 3: all these teams out that you might as well take
47:06
Speaker 3: a chance right now.
47:08
Speaker 1: I agree, do you have to number one? He's available,
47:11
Speaker 1: he's fresh it without eighty games, right so essentially have
47:14
Speaker 1: a fresh arm. So I look at it. That's why
47:16
Speaker 1: I mentioned it in the context I did. It's like
47:18
Speaker 1: a trade deadline move. Yes, Zack Wheeler's out and they've
47:21
Speaker 1: had a myriad of other I think their closer came
47:24
Speaker 1: back after a potentially serious injury. But the reality of
47:27
Speaker 1: the situation is is that you got a live arm,
47:30
Speaker 1: your miles will ride with it. So since I was
47:33
Speaker 1: on the travel team, I'm going to go back to
47:35
Speaker 1: it again today. The Chargers will travel around the globe
47:38
Speaker 1: this season, and another thirteen miles beyond Beyond the chargers
47:44
Speaker 1: total travel miles, get this thirty seven and eighty six
47:48
Speaker 1: The Earth recomforts twenty four thousand, nine hundred one. Jacob,
47:53
Speaker 1: how about some frequent flyer miles of those LA Chargers.
47:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know what that means Last year they
48:01
Speaker 3: didn't have a whole lot of them. Means where they
48:04
Speaker 3: were going. It's means that they're in a certain specific
48:06
Speaker 3: divisions right now. So that's that's gonna happen with you
48:09
Speaker 3: know what that happens with that, That's gonna happen with
48:11
Speaker 3: Las Vegas eventually too. And it's like it's gonna happen
48:14
Speaker 3: with those alsos Like you can get those miles. You
48:17
Speaker 3: gotta face those places eventually, but you gotta face those ones.
48:20
Speaker 3: You gotta go to Chicago, you gotta go to Minnesota,
48:22
Speaker 3: you gotta go to all those places. But like next
48:26
Speaker 3: year alone, they're probably gonna be closer. So they'll just
48:28
Speaker 3: take it through this year. Main think about it. Win
48:31
Speaker 3: those games because that helps if you make the playoffs.
48:34
Speaker 3: Your plenty traveled.
48:38
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers are traveling across the pond or
48:41
Speaker 1: was it Brazil? Yeah, they're going to Brazil that fact
48:45
Speaker 1: or a little bit with those mouths if they're still
48:47
Speaker 1: traveling a long way. But that said, it'll turn over
48:49
Speaker 1: the candy.
48:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Charger, I mean the Chargers thirty seven eighty
48:57
Speaker 2: six miles. The second place is the rams La Rams
49:01
Speaker 2: both West Coast teams. The third one is Seattle, oh yeah,
49:05
Speaker 2: another West Coast team, the only one. And then the
49:10
Speaker 2: fourth one is not a West Coast team. The fifth
49:13
Speaker 2: one is the forty nine Ers, another West Coast team,
49:16
Speaker 2: and the one that's the fourth that's the that's an
49:18
Speaker 2: East coast team. It's the Jacksonville Jaguars of course, because
49:21
Speaker 2: they travel multiple times to go over seas. I thought
49:26
Speaker 2: was also interesting all, the team's total travel will be
49:31
Speaker 2: six hundred and twenty five one hundred nine hundred and
49:34
Speaker 2: forty seven miles across all of the teams this year.
49:39
Speaker 2: Now the difference, so the Chargers are traveling thirty thirty
49:45
Speaker 2: seven thousand, eighty six miles the least is the Cincinnati
49:50
Speaker 2: Bengals traveling eight thousand, seven hundred and fifty three miles.
49:55
Speaker 1: And that's just going to their stadium, those things, right,
50:01
Speaker 1: I don't Jacob, all right, George.
50:07
Speaker 6: Well, we know who's there. We know who's there. Michigan's
50:11
Speaker 6: owned Jim Harbaugh. But that is a very difficult schedule.
50:15
Speaker 6: I mean, they've got primetime games galore. You mentioned already
50:18
Speaker 6: about the trip to Brazil. Uh, you know, and and
50:22
Speaker 6: Jim in his days at Michigan used to take the
50:24
Speaker 6: team overseas, but that was different. That was a two
50:27
Speaker 6: to three week trip. This is very intense and a
50:30
Speaker 6: very grueling schedule. And that's very astute, miss Candy about uh,
50:35
Speaker 6: you know, four out of those top five being you know,
50:38
Speaker 6: West Coast teams plus as you mentioned Jacksonville. I don't
50:42
Speaker 6: know what's going on, you know, and I know that
50:45
Speaker 6: the league says these are great international games are great
50:47
Speaker 6: and all that, but the toll, the toll that's taking
50:50
Speaker 6: on some of the players and some of the franchises
50:54
Speaker 6: that you can't just overlook that.
50:55
Speaker 5: You can't. But I know they want money, they want
50:58
Speaker 5: more exposure. They're getting that, But at what price? At
51:01
Speaker 5: what price, we'll.
51:03
Speaker 1: See, Boy, you're gonna you're setting yourself up for a whipping.
51:06
Speaker 1: After I get done with Chris, I'm gonna nail you.
51:08
Speaker 1: Now go, you're really going I'll set them up to.
51:16
Speaker 4: I'm with George. But you know what, at the end
51:19
Speaker 4: of the day, the NFL doesn't care about the players.
51:22
Speaker 4: There we talk about players safety. They're worried about players safety.
51:26
Speaker 4: They got the nicer helmets now they're thicker with the
51:28
Speaker 4: cushions and all that. They don't care because they know
51:32
Speaker 4: they know that the next guy is coming next year
51:34
Speaker 4: and the year after that. So they don't care about
51:36
Speaker 4: players safety in that sense. They only care about the money.
51:39
Speaker 1: Right.
51:39
Speaker 4: The NFL is a monster. It's just going to keep on.
51:43
Speaker 4: It just keeps rolling with all the money. So now
51:45
Speaker 4: they go into other countries. You know what, Seattle is
51:48
Speaker 4: always going to travel the most because they're in Seattle.
51:50
Speaker 4: That's fine, but you know what, Yeah, these other cities
51:53
Speaker 4: and like the charges listen to, charges were coming in
51:55
Speaker 4: this season as one of the favorites to get to
51:58
Speaker 4: the super Bowl, right, so now they got the toughest
52:01
Speaker 4: road to get there, you know, and then you got,
52:03
Speaker 4: like you mentioned, Cincinnati's got the least amount of mile
52:07
Speaker 4: miles to travel. I don't think they're going to the
52:10
Speaker 4: super Bowl. They don't have the defense. But you know what,
52:12
Speaker 4: it's nice to only travel eight thousand miles, you know,
52:15
Speaker 4: total for a whole season for seventeen games. That's pretty good.
52:18
Speaker 4: So but yeah, the NFL doesn't care. They're just looking
52:22
Speaker 4: to expand and roll out. Eventually, we're going to see
52:25
Speaker 4: a team in Europe, right, probably in England. I mean
52:28
Speaker 4: at that's coming. Probably Jacksonville is gonna go out there.
52:31
Speaker 5: It is what it is.
52:32
Speaker 1: But here's what it is. What it is, Ichporn's about
52:37
Speaker 1: to get roasted. You bought a sick and moll aad.
52:40
Speaker 1: You're worried about seventeen games, they're about ready to add eighteen.
52:44
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna end up happening. Sick the man.
52:46
Speaker 1: There's gonna be more international games. Everybody's gonna have to
52:49
Speaker 1: get involved at International hay. At some point you have
52:52
Speaker 1: to give up a home game in a road game.
52:54
Speaker 1: So that's how they're getting that extra money. I realize
52:57
Speaker 1: that you have some of the some of those, uh you,
53:00
Speaker 1: although you don't have the piano anymore, but once upon
53:04
Speaker 1: a time that you had one. Okay, this is where
53:06
Speaker 1: all they have money's going in the world. This is
53:08
Speaker 1: just this to me is the appatire leading the main course.
53:12
Speaker 1: When they get that eighteen game schedule and the players
53:14
Speaker 1: are getting that extra money. That's what you're really talking
53:17
Speaker 1: about here. If you think that this mind number of
53:21
Speaker 1: thirty seven thousand was high until they ask for more
53:23
Speaker 1: than you're in the forty thousand mark for some of
53:26
Speaker 1: these teams. This is just a different This is a preluto.
53:30
Speaker 1: What's about to happen is all it is. It just
53:33
Speaker 1: all happens. The Chargers are out in LA and they're
53:35
Speaker 1: gonna get hooked a little more. But wait till game
53:38
Speaker 1: number eighteen hits and every team has to give up
53:41
Speaker 1: a home game and a road game, and then we'll
53:43
Speaker 1: see where you'll talk about fireworks. You're gonna get them
53:46
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna give this order a face of
53:48
Speaker 1: break candy, and then we can proceed from there. A
53:50
Speaker 1: lot more good things to get to after she gets done.
53:53
Speaker 1: Give them my voice a little fleear.
53:56

55:00
Speaker 1: Back to you, Scott, Thank you, Kendy. Well last night
55:03
Speaker 1: this was a hot topic with Inside the Fist, and
55:06
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring it back for everybody else to get
55:08
Speaker 1: a crack at it as well. It's part of the
55:10
Speaker 1: title of the show and thea legend. Pat Riley defines culture.
55:14
Speaker 1: Pat Riley defines culture this way. People don't ever come
55:17
Speaker 1: into my office and tell me to fire a coach.
55:19
Speaker 1: Your job is to play basketball. That's culture, all right, Chris,
55:24
Speaker 1: what do you think about pat Riley's burget of culture.
55:27
Speaker 4: Listen, pat pat Riley's one of the greatest coaches in
55:30
Speaker 4: NBA history, right with the Lakers and then and then
55:34
Speaker 4: with the Heat, So yeah, he's all about I mean,
55:38
Speaker 4: when you think about eighties NBA and early nineties, he's
55:42
Speaker 4: one of the first guys you think of outside of
55:44
Speaker 4: the players, right pat Riley, without a doubt. You know,
55:47
Speaker 4: before the Bulls started their run, it was the Lakers
55:50
Speaker 4: and the Celtics, So yeah, definitely.
55:53
Speaker 6: George, Oh yeah, I mean he's he's just been a
55:58
Speaker 6: tremendous coach. He's been a tremendous front office executive. I
56:04
Speaker 6: was trying to say, I agree with Pat. You know,
56:06
Speaker 6: Pat's got his opinions, but that I'm not gonna argue
56:09
Speaker 6: with him about that culture thing. And you know, it's
56:13
Speaker 6: really interesting to see because he's just one of those
56:15
Speaker 6: guys that just has so much respect for the game
56:18
Speaker 6: and so much respect for the history of the game
56:22
Speaker 6: as well. So I've always been a Pat Riley fan
56:25
Speaker 6: and I'm not going to counter him on this one.
56:27
Speaker 5: I think it is.
56:28
Speaker 6: And don't forget our friend Chuck Daily too, Chris when
56:31
Speaker 6: you start screwing off names, and of course Phil Jackson
56:34
Speaker 6: as well. So I put those three right at the
56:37
Speaker 6: top during that era as head coaches, and there's others too.
56:40
Speaker 5: But anyways, I like Riley. I like it he's talking.
56:45
Speaker 5: He's talking good stuff, Katy.
56:52
Speaker 2: Every every person has a title, and there you have
56:58
Speaker 2: a title for a reason.
57:00
Speaker 3: You have a job to do.
57:01
Speaker 2: You were hired to do a specific job. If your
57:05
Speaker 2: job is manager, you're supposed to manage. If your job
57:08
Speaker 2: is to coach, it's to coach. If you're a GM,
57:10
Speaker 2: you're a GM. If you're a player, be a player.
57:14
Speaker 2: Don't be the GM. Don't be anything else. Now, can
57:19
Speaker 2: you give your opinion, Well, maybe if it's asked for,
57:23
Speaker 2: or maybe if you're respected enough and you're at a
57:26
Speaker 2: certain level, you can give your opinion privately to somebody,
57:32
Speaker 2: but not publicly. There's a reason again, you're a player.
57:36
Speaker 2: There's a reason you're a GM, and there's a reason
57:38
Speaker 2: you're a coach. Keep to those That's how I feel.
57:42
Speaker 2: Keep to your job title.
57:45
Speaker 3: Jacob, Well, one thing I liked about him is he's
57:48
Speaker 3: set that up because Lebrenda decided he wanted to wind
57:52
Speaker 3: whatever we wanted fire, and it was and you know
57:55
Speaker 3: who he wanted fired. It was Spolster. And then he
57:58
Speaker 3: stood up to Lebron on that or the brand devils
58:01
Speaker 3: I just said and called and he called him out
58:03
Speaker 3: on it and did that, and that's true. The thing is,
58:06
Speaker 3: I'm gonna listen to a guy with eleven rings, whether
58:08
Speaker 3: it's coaching, whether it's whether it's coaching, whether it's the president,
58:13
Speaker 3: whether it's ownership, whether it's anything. I'm gonna I am
58:16
Speaker 3: going to listen to him. He has won and he's
58:19
Speaker 3: probably the coolest old man we're gonna know. If you
58:21
Speaker 3: saw that, if you saw his classic cars, that he has,
58:24
Speaker 3: and the and the let's see and the condo he has.
58:28
Speaker 3: He's just the coolest guy in Miami. So there's the
58:31
Speaker 3: whole thing right there. I'm gonna definitely listen to him
58:33
Speaker 3: on these things. But remember this part. Even they're struggling years,
58:37
Speaker 3: they're like forty four thirty eight, that's their struggling gears.
58:41
Speaker 3: Those are the ones that are like, Okay, they're in
58:43
Speaker 3: a play in game. If that's your idea of struggling,
58:46
Speaker 3: and then they just come back the next year and
58:48
Speaker 3: get number three, then that's just another thing that's his
58:51
Speaker 3: that's his culture. They're constantly around a lot of teams.
58:55
Speaker 1: Can't say that, Hey, by the league, arn'cher. Just so
58:59
Speaker 1: you know, I have actually have met Jerry Jones many
59:02
Speaker 1: years ago out in Arizona. Pretty cool guy, so I
59:05
Speaker 1: have no problem. He's definitely well respected. Thanks for the comment,
59:08
Speaker 1: very much appreciate it. As far as we're concerned here,
59:11
Speaker 1: pat Riley's one hundred percent accurate. He really, really really is.
59:17
Speaker 1: Don't ever question him. He's got a lot of championships
59:19
Speaker 1: and he's done a marvelous job making sure the Miami
59:22
Speaker 1: Heat have an excellent culture there, and of course he
59:25
Speaker 1: didn't do bad work with the Knickerbockers as well as
59:27
Speaker 1: the Lakers as well. But what he's done in Miami
59:29
Speaker 1: as the general manager and his entire body of work
59:33
Speaker 1: with the Heat, nobody's gonna question pat Riley as far
59:36
Speaker 1: as I'm cont in your gold back to the yard
59:38
Speaker 1: stair long, I Carrey, Well, good way to get to
59:40
Speaker 1: some publicity. Don't Miami make history as the first can't
59:43
Speaker 1: see to make the playoffs? I don't know. I don't
59:45
Speaker 1: think they made the playoffs last year or what you're
59:48
Speaker 1: talking about the Miami Heat. I'm sorry, yeah, you know what.
59:50
Speaker 1: I think. You're right? Good point. Well, there you go.
59:53
Speaker 1: Have validates what I just talked about. Thanks here, It's
59:56
Speaker 1: got me a little confused a little bit. Great points

1:00:21
Speaker 1: who spent his career ministering and I repeat, ministering in

Speaker 1: pope number that is, but he was selected by one
1:00:40
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three cardinals across the globe. As every
1:00:43
Speaker 1: I can tell, I'm not big on Roman numerals. Oh,

1:01:07
Speaker 1: Sox Studentsn't it.

Speaker 5: He is a huge white Sox fan. Praise the Lord.
1:01:11
Speaker 6: Yes, as the first time an American got the uh
1:01:14
Speaker 6: the call to be pope, and as another side.
1:01:18
Speaker 5: Of Scott knows where this is.
1:01:20
Speaker 6: We have a city in Detroit called gross point At
1:01:24
Speaker 6: several cities, very rich area, and he was actually ordained
1:01:30
Speaker 6: at a church in gross Pointe in Michigan. He doesn't
1:01:33
Speaker 6: the pope doesn't have a lot of ties to Detroit itself,
1:01:37
Speaker 6: most of most of them all of Chicago. But he
1:01:40
Speaker 6: did receive one of his ordinations in Saint clair monta
1:01:43
Speaker 6: Falco and gross Point. Uh. Yeah, I'm very happy about him.
1:01:47
Speaker 6: He's very down to earth. He seems very well liked
1:01:50
Speaker 6: and and certainly he's a big baseball fan.
1:01:53
Speaker 3: We know that.
1:01:53
Speaker 5: So far, so so far, so good. That's what I say.
1:01:57
Speaker 1: Well, we got an American pope. Just because I'm not
1:02:00
Speaker 1: really Catholic doesn't mean he can't be happy in America.
1:02:02
Speaker 1: And it's going to be out in Rome by the
1:02:04
Speaker 1: time I get there. Next you're visiting the Vatican, at

1:02:33
Speaker 6: Uh?
1:02:34
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not a big pope person, but you
1:02:37
Speaker 4: know what, he's from America, so hopefully he's a good choice.
1:02:41
Speaker 4: I think outside of America, right, I think outside of America,
1:02:46
Speaker 4: and you know, all around the world may not have
1:02:49
Speaker 4: been the most popular choice, you know, because of what's
1:02:51

Speaker 4: here there you go, well, good luck to him, and
1:03:04
Speaker 4: hopefully he does a great job.
1:03:06

Speaker 2: nice and refreshing to see someone from the United States,
1:04:06
Speaker 2: albeit Chicago, you know. But no, seriously, like for someone
1:04:12
Speaker 2: from the United States to get voted in. Let's face it,

1:04:21

1:04:41
Speaker 3: And thirty three Cardinals and two Cups.
1:04:44
Speaker 1: But still, but when you have five people on this show,
1:04:50
Speaker 1: you're definitely here the shine go ahead.
1:04:53
Speaker 3: But he's a White Sox fan. He's also a Bears fan,

Speaker 1: What can I say? Yeah, well, join the club.
1:05:16
Speaker 5: Uh.
1:05:16
Speaker 1: We have a few teams out there that are struggling

1:05:21
Speaker 1: to get to that. But more power to you. But
1:05:23
Speaker 1: I was waiting for that Tyler pageant reference and thanks
1:05:26
Speaker 1: to mister Christner, we can do it. Yeah, yeah, all right, whatever,
1:05:30
Speaker 1: I'm looking up later since I have another hashtag I
1:05:32
Speaker 1: have to look up. I have to make sure right
1:05:34
Speaker 1: around right, otherwise Candy's gonna call me back when I'm chilling. Okay, Well,
1:05:37
Speaker 1: let's stand the sports of the team, but this is
1:05:39
Speaker 1: much much more different. Uh, go out there and get
1:05:41
Speaker 1: him pull more power than American got out there, and
1:05:44
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward. I'm already planning my next trip overseas,
1:05:47
Speaker 1: and let me tell you, I'm looking forward to it.
1:05:49
Speaker 1: And then I plan to do the work on my own.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: I don't need to travel agent the next time. So
1:05:54
Speaker 1: get this now. Dick sbarding Goods and nearing a deal
1:05:56
Speaker 1: to five foot Locker for two point three billion dollars
1:06:00
Speaker 1: agreement values. It looks like it values a foot claimer
1:06:08
Speaker 1: at twenty four dollars per year, eighty six point five
1:06:12
Speaker 1: percent premium of its recent closing price. Let's just show
1:06:15
Speaker 1: you what a money guy am. What are your thoughts,
1:06:18
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts taken about the fact that Dick
1:06:20
Speaker 1: forty Goods and foot and foot Locker are about to
1:06:24
Speaker 1: become one.
1:06:26
Speaker 3: Well, you know something, this is exactly that the foot
1:06:29
Speaker 3: Locker just completely did a redesign a couple of months ago,
1:06:33
Speaker 3: which is a lot more efficient, a lot more cool,
1:06:36
Speaker 3: especially for especially during like we've got black Fridays and
1:06:39
Speaker 3: Christmases and everything, and it's a lot better. And they
1:06:41
Speaker 3: tore out their little basketball area with all the basketball shoes,
1:06:45
Speaker 3: they did all that stuff. But it's too late if
1:06:49
Speaker 3: they're buying. If Dix is buying it. It's too late.
1:06:53
Speaker 3: They should have done it a couple of years earlier.
1:06:55
Speaker 3: They kind of stuck to the same thing over and
1:06:57
Speaker 3: over and they did that type of deal. It's been.
1:07:00
Speaker 3: They gave this the they gave it all. Good try,
1:07:02
Speaker 3: but foot locker has kind of been eighties, the eighties
1:07:07
Speaker 3: mall staple and it's one of those deals. Like Dix
1:07:10
Speaker 3: has just dominated the world now as far Dixon, you
1:07:14
Speaker 3: can say it could maybe one or two others is
1:07:16
Speaker 3: a couple of minor ones that do, but mostly Dick
1:07:19
Speaker 3: Sporting Goods and as a foot locker. They tried, but
1:07:25
Speaker 3: you know, you can't you can't get sometimes you can't
1:07:28
Speaker 3: get past the eighties. You know, that little reputation they have,
1:07:32
Speaker 3: you know, all that kind of stuff. So Dick Sporting
1:07:34
Speaker 3: is gonna become the ESPN of the sporting and a
1:07:36
Speaker 3: good world.
1:07:39
Speaker 1: Candy. You know.
1:07:42
Speaker 2: The transaction implies an equity value of approximately two point
1:07:45
Speaker 2: four billion and an enterprise value of approximately two point
1:07:50
Speaker 2: five billion. Man, you know, these are two pretty big houses.
1:07:55
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen some we've seen some of the
1:08:00
Speaker 2: stores that we would normally go to go by the
1:08:04
Speaker 2: wayside where you know, like Payless Shoes is no longer
1:08:07
Speaker 2: in the US. You see other shoes or retail outlets
1:08:12
Speaker 2: that are no longer in the US because so much
1:08:15
Speaker 2: is going online, so much is going online. I think
1:08:18
Speaker 2: you're gonna see more of these big companies in order
1:08:23
Speaker 2: to survive, have to merge with others and kind of
1:08:26
Speaker 2: expand what they're doing, or I hate to say it,
1:08:30
Speaker 2: they're gonna be They're gonna be lost because the Amazons
1:08:33
Speaker 2: of the world are not going away.
1:08:37
Speaker 6: George, Yeah, I think something like this was inevitable. I mean,
1:08:42
Speaker 6: you know, there's a there's a lot of this that
1:08:45
Speaker 6: happens in a lot of industries, not just the sports
1:08:48
Speaker 6: apparel industry or sports sports shoe industry.
1:08:53
Speaker 5: It didn't come as a total surprise to me. They
1:08:55
Speaker 5: are number one Dix, They've been that way for a
1:08:58
Speaker 5: while in their niche and then obviously foot Locker. And
1:09:02
Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought that up, Jacob about.
1:09:04
Speaker 6: The Yeah, the stores were in the malls and and
1:09:08
Speaker 6: now so many malls are just being destroyed.
1:09:10
Speaker 5: But uh, or Tarry darn Well, I think that it
1:09:13
Speaker 5: would be successful.
1:09:15
Speaker 6: But yeah, it is the big guy kind of taking
1:09:17
Speaker 6: over the guy that's in the middle of the pack.
1:09:20
Speaker 6: And it happens a lot in American business, it really does,
1:09:24
Speaker 6: whatever industry it is.
1:09:26
Speaker 5: But this is huge. This is huge Dick Sporting Goods
1:09:29
Speaker 5: made of smart move I think here, I really do, Chris.
1:09:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's coming down to a lot of
1:09:38
Speaker 4: the smallest stores that were big in the in the
1:09:41
Speaker 4: malls since all the malls are closing up that you
1:09:45
Speaker 4: know that they're closing up now too. So I think
1:09:47
Speaker 4: foot Locker did a great deal in getting as much
1:09:49
Speaker 4: as they're getting right from from Dix. And to be honest,
1:09:54
Speaker 4: a lot of the places like Dix as well, is
1:09:56
Speaker 4: going to go away because everybody does shopping online now,
1:09:59
Speaker 4: Like why go to Dix when I can just go online.
1:10:02
Speaker 4: I know what sneakers, I know what my size is.
1:10:05
Speaker 4: I'll just go to Nike dot com or rebuk or
1:10:07
Speaker 4: whatever store is online Amazon and get my stuff there,
1:10:11
Speaker 4: you know, And and I think most people now are
1:10:14
Speaker 4: doing that right there, skipping go into the store. First
1:10:17
Speaker 4: of all, there's just hardly any more moles, right, how
1:10:20
Speaker 4: many males have closed probably by you guys and by
1:10:22
Speaker 4: me as well. So it's it's not a thing anymore.
1:10:25
Speaker 4: Everything is online, So hopefully Dix and I'm sure they do,
1:10:29
Speaker 4: Like they have a really good website that's where they're
1:10:31
Speaker 4: going to do most of their business. So you know,
1:10:35
Speaker 4: it's just a sign of the times. What I want
1:10:36
Speaker 4: to know is what's next, Like, what's the next big.
1:10:39
Speaker 3: Thing Walmart's going to absorb Target.
1:10:42
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Come back to the Sports Exchange
1:10:44
Speaker 1: next week with you will, and I'll tell you what
1:10:46
Speaker 1: the next thing. Yeah, all right, because I'll come up
1:10:49
Speaker 1: with it. Don't worry, Okay, don't worry.
1:10:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to know what's next because I want
1:10:53
Speaker 4: to know where I can invest.
1:10:54
Speaker 1: We'll come out nine o'clock for a time and i'll
1:10:57
Speaker 1: tell you what the next thing thing. It's gonna Friday
1:11:00
Speaker 1: night on your network.
1:11:01
Speaker 5: All right.
1:11:02
Speaker 1: Here's why I'm gonna solve my problem with the shoes.
1:11:04
Speaker 1: Howie Long, you represent the right company, and that company
1:11:08
Speaker 1: happens to be about two miles away from us called Sketchers.
1:11:12
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you those shoes a couple of my
1:11:15
Speaker 1: fatta key feet considering every place I can see trouble
1:11:18
Speaker 1: in contact. So I love my Sketchers. But I know
1:11:21
Speaker 1: think it's a great move for football Locker to be
1:11:24
Speaker 1: bought out by the export togethers all right, well something different.
1:11:28
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna go ahead and talk some quarterbacks that
1:11:31
Speaker 1: we're going to New York. So I'm gonna make it
1:11:33
Speaker 1: an easy one as we transition to the next one.
1:11:36
Speaker 1: We're going to the New York giants. Who will start?
1:11:39
Speaker 1: Don't need any long major drawn on answers. Who will start?
1:11:43
Speaker 1: Is it Russell Wilson, Jackson Dart, Jameis Winston or Tommy
1:11:48
Speaker 1: To me, all right, we'll go to mister New York
1:11:53
Speaker 1: who's laughing at me, Go.
1:11:54
Speaker 4: On, listen. It ain't gonna be Tommy DeVito, that's for sure,
1:11:57
Speaker 4: and it's not gonna be Winston. Winston's probably gonna get traded.
1:12:00
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be Russell Wilson. He's going to
1:12:03
Speaker 4: start the season. I don't think he's going to finish
1:12:05
Speaker 4: the season. I think we're gonna see Dart at some point.
1:12:07
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of time, you know, as good
1:12:09
Speaker 4: as he's looked so far in the off seed, in
1:12:12
Speaker 4: the preseason. I know it's only preseason, but I think
1:12:15
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson starts, and by the end of the season,
1:12:18
Speaker 4: I think Jackson Daught'll be the starter for the Giants.
1:12:22
Speaker 6: George, Well, I kind of agree with what you said, Chris.
1:12:28
Speaker 6: I mean, Wilson I think is the smart choice right now.
1:12:33
Speaker 6: Obviously he's hopeful that he's got some good football left
1:12:36
Speaker 6: in him, and I don't know. Yeah, well he could
1:12:41
Speaker 6: be it could it could be changed later in the season,
1:12:43
Speaker 6: like you said to Dark.
1:12:44
Speaker 5: But I've always liked Russell Wilson. The fact of the
1:12:47
Speaker 5: matter is is he just still can't win the big one,
1:12:50
Speaker 5: I mean consistently, and he's bounced around so many teams
1:12:54
Speaker 5: the last couple of years. But I'm gonna go with Wilson.
1:12:56
Speaker 5: Wilson's my number one for now, maybe Dart later on.
1:13:01
Speaker 2: Candy Wilson starts, it's his job to lose, and I'll
1:13:09
Speaker 2: leave it at that.
1:13:11
Speaker 3: Jacob, I think Dark, believe it or not, starts. I
1:13:15
Speaker 3: think Wilson's the one that gets traded because I think
1:13:18
Speaker 3: because because you were talking about this with James, I
1:13:21
Speaker 3: think he's perfect for New York, for the media world,
1:13:24
Speaker 3: so you can get something along those lines.
1:13:27
Speaker 5: I think.
1:13:28
Speaker 3: I think what we're gonna see eventually, though, is I
1:13:30
Speaker 3: think we're gonna see the Vida tell me to Beatles
1:13:32
Speaker 3: start one game against Ben Denucci, and the winner basically
1:13:35
Speaker 3: gets the whole mob gets the Mob family. So if
1:13:39
Speaker 3: we're gonna see something like that, so either way, but
1:13:43
Speaker 3: really by itself, I think Wilson's the one that gets traded.
1:13:46
Speaker 5: I just do.
1:13:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's amazing how you say that, because
1:13:49
Speaker 1: I was surprised that they signed Russell Wilson. I thought
1:13:52
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston was going to be your starter at the beginning,
1:13:54
Speaker 1: and he would be the bitch Bridge quarterback for who
1:13:57
Speaker 1: they drafted Dart, So there was a show. I would
1:14:00
Speaker 1: like to say Winston, but it's inevitable if Wilson starts
1:14:03
Speaker 1: and then and I guess it's just a matter of
1:14:06
Speaker 1: how many games into this thing are you going to
1:14:08
Speaker 1: be in before dark finally takes over. We'll stay in
1:14:11
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Then we're going to the Cleveland Brown's depth chart.
1:14:14
Speaker 1: I had some fun with this one last night though,
1:14:16
Speaker 1: when we talked about the Cleveland Browns getting fleeced by
1:14:20
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. But now I've decided to graduate and just
1:14:23
Speaker 1: list the four in the order with the existing was
1:14:25
Speaker 1: got Joe Flacco number one, Kenny Pickett, Dylan Gabriel, should
1:14:29
Speaker 1: George Sanders. So the big question to this handle is, well,
1:14:33
Speaker 1: the Browns carry four quarterbacks, Jacob you lead off.
1:14:36
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I mean they have to make up for
1:14:40
Speaker 3: they have to make up for no real kicker, which
1:14:42
Speaker 3: I'm almost expecting. I'm almost expecting Justin Tucker to be
1:14:46
Speaker 3: there so he and Deshaun Watson so that he and
1:14:50
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson can have.
1:14:52
Speaker 1: Oh that's funny, man to get it. That's that is
1:15:02
Speaker 1: all right? Well, you agree is bad. I think that's
1:15:08
Speaker 1: what that's what Christmas brings.
1:15:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, now that Justin Tucket thing was bad, and their
1:15:13
Speaker 4: quarterback situation is probably just as bad.
1:15:16
Speaker 3: Uh.
1:15:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, Flacco is gonna start obviously, but after that, I
1:15:19
Speaker 4: think it really depends on who they believe in more
1:15:23
Speaker 4: Gabriel or Sanders. Right, I'm really not sure because the
1:15:28
Speaker 4: Browns are are a complete mess. One of them's got
1:15:32
Speaker 4: to get moved. There's no way they're keeping four quarterbacks.
1:15:35
Speaker 4: I mean, even the Browns are not going to do that, right,
1:15:38
Speaker 4: So I would think one of the one of the
1:15:40
Speaker 4: rookies are gonna I would yeah, no, I know it's
1:15:43
Speaker 4: the Browns, right, Yeah, I would think one of the
1:15:46
Speaker 4: one of the rookies are gonna stay Listen, they traded
1:15:51
Speaker 4: for they traded for Pickings, right, yes, right, they traded
1:15:57
Speaker 4: for him before they signed Flacco and be they drafted
1:16:00
Speaker 4: those two kids, so they obviously have They obviously liked
1:16:03
Speaker 4: him more than anybody. So I think as long as
1:16:05
Speaker 4: he's healthy, which he's not right now, he's going to
1:16:08
Speaker 4: be on the team. So it's probably gonna be him
1:16:10
Speaker 4: and Flacco and one of the young kids, right, whether
1:16:12
Speaker 4: it's Marie Gabriel or.
1:16:16
Speaker 1: Or Sanders.
1:16:17
Speaker 4: I would you know, it's either way, it's not good.
1:16:21
Speaker 5: George, Well, they're continuing their.
1:16:26
Speaker 6: Utility. I think the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, you can't have
1:16:29
Speaker 6: all four, no question about it. Yeah, and I agree
1:16:32
Speaker 6: that Flaka is going to be starting. But you know,
1:16:37
Speaker 6: I'd like Hanny Pickett, I really do. I mean, he's
1:16:40
Speaker 6: had some struggles obviously, fifteen to ten career wins and losses.
1:16:45
Speaker 6: We all know he didn't things didn't work out in
1:16:47
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh and then in Philadelphia for a little bit. But
1:16:51
Speaker 6: I really think that I would not give up on Sanders.
1:16:55
Speaker 6: I would not give up on him.
1:16:56
Speaker 5: That kid's has shown an awful lot of moxy and
1:17:00
Speaker 5: and uh, it's a it's a dilemma that they put
1:17:03
Speaker 5: themselves in with having four guys there right now. And
1:17:07
Speaker 5: I really think that. I my gut tells me, Son,
1:17:10
Speaker 5: this is going to be number three. And you know,
1:17:12
Speaker 5: but flaccoh yeah, he's gonna start the year. We'll see
1:17:15
Speaker 5: what he could do. The Browns are just so so
1:17:17
Speaker 5: messed up. I mean, they just don't have it on
1:17:20
Speaker 5: both sides of a offensive defense, both sides of the ball.
1:17:23
Speaker 5: But uh, I'm gonna go with Flacco. But I do
1:17:26
Speaker 5: think that they will keep pickings.
1:17:28
Speaker 3: And hey, George, Hey George, I'm just expecting, like when
1:17:33
Speaker 3: he goes into Pittsburgh and Flacco throws an interception, there's
1:17:37
Speaker 3: gonna be a video off there of his kids going
1:17:39
Speaker 3: he sts. I'm just imagining that happening. Alright.
1:17:47
Speaker 1: So, so who we got now? Who went already so far?
1:17:51
Speaker 1: All went?
1:17:52
Speaker 3: Or did you go get a candy?
1:17:54
Speaker 1: I think candy has to go ahead.
1:18:00
Speaker 2: So it's Flacco's job right now to lose. Let's face it, now,
1:18:06
Speaker 2: are they gonna keep all these No? I think unless
1:18:11
Speaker 2: they have a clear second, they need to shop whoever
1:18:15
Speaker 2: they can to get the most that they can at
1:18:18
Speaker 2: for whoever else, whoever wants one like, who is in
1:18:22
Speaker 2: the market that needs somebody and shop that one, because
1:18:27
Speaker 2: there isn't one that's gonna stand out way much that
1:18:30
Speaker 2: I've heard of that is standing out way above all
1:18:33
Speaker 2: of the others. So and you need a lot of help,
1:18:38
Speaker 2: So go with the help that you can get from,
1:18:42
Speaker 2: you know, the most bang for your buck.
1:18:44
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing. Okay, Flaco won the're two years ago.
1:18:48
Speaker 1: Why they got rid of him as anybody gets got
1:18:50
Speaker 1: them in the playoffs? That was dumb and stupid. Anyways,
1:18:54
Speaker 1: he won with them. Now, one of these other quarterbacks,
1:18:57
Speaker 1: whether Sanders, Gay, they're good trade day. There's a team
1:19:01
Speaker 1: or two that could be desperate and he might land
1:19:03
Speaker 1: a bigger draft choice, like getting one of these now
1:19:06
Speaker 1: that they've competed in what they were working when they
1:19:08
Speaker 1: were drafted in the first place. Now, since i'll steal
1:19:12
Speaker 1: this one from you, George, Okay, maybe there is a
1:19:16
Speaker 1: Sanders that could land to Detroit and they won't have
1:19:19
Speaker 1: to put them on the layaway like Dion once said.
1:19:22
Speaker 1: Maybe Schaed Sanders will take hand in Hooker's place, because
1:19:26
Speaker 1: this guy's awful. Yeah he is, absolutely he is't gonna
1:19:31
Speaker 1: make it. I don't know where he's gonna end up.
1:19:33
Speaker 1: But he's I can see Dan Campbell looking to get
1:19:36
Speaker 1: rid of him. He give him every opportunity again, but
1:19:40
Speaker 1: that's an exaggeration. I don't even think it's for a
1:19:42
Speaker 1: hair day, because it's outright stupid of me to say
1:19:46
Speaker 1: it when I've seen crazier things. And I can only
1:19:50
Speaker 1: see the look at Dion Sanders faces and Shador Sanders
1:19:53
Speaker 1: ends up in Detroit. Sorry, Dion, he won't have to
1:19:56
Speaker 1: go on lay away with you. Once thought you had
1:19:58
Speaker 1: to go on way away period. That was bad. All right,
1:20:04
Speaker 1: let's go to my town, Jacob, you know.
1:20:09
Speaker 3: Well Atlanta. Right now there, at this point in time,
1:20:13
Speaker 3: we have an interesting little situation where nobody is playing
1:20:17
Speaker 3: games in the preseason. We're talking Penis and we're talking Panics,
1:20:23
Speaker 3: and we're talking the Cousins, neither of them, which means
1:20:25
Speaker 3: ninety percent of the ninety percent of the reps are
1:20:30
Speaker 3: going to the third stringers in the whole preseason, ones
1:20:33
Speaker 3: that won't play, and then they're wondering. They're gonna be
1:20:37
Speaker 3: wondering why they're struggling early in the year. They're having that. Meanwhile,
1:20:40
Speaker 3: the braves that braves are just about out of the thing.
1:20:44
Speaker 3: But they're won, then they won't like the eleven of
1:20:46
Speaker 3: thirteen now, So it's what they're continuing to try. And
1:20:50
Speaker 3: the thing is they're gonna make themselves a run late
1:20:52
Speaker 3: and fall a little short because they were the one
1:20:54
Speaker 3: team that kept everybody when everybody else started themselves. So
1:20:58
Speaker 3: they're gonna face a lot of those teams le so
1:21:00
Speaker 3: it's going to be an interesting time over then they're
1:21:02
Speaker 3: probably gonna fill their stadium again.
1:21:05
Speaker 2: Kindy, who wants a free Hamburger?
1:21:11
Speaker 3: Oh?
1:21:11
Speaker 2: You missed it? It was today? Today was George Webb
1:21:16
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee in its twenty three chains gave away free
1:21:21
Speaker 2: Hamburger free burgers because the Brewers one were on won
1:21:25
Speaker 2: a winning streak of twelve in a row. This promotion
1:21:29
Speaker 2: goes back to the nineteen forties. How cool is that
1:21:33
Speaker 2: that a restaurant in a town, in a small market
1:21:38
Speaker 2: town celebrates their team the way they did. I just
1:21:42
Speaker 2: think it's cool. They also gave Now it remains to
1:21:46
Speaker 2: be seen how many they've given away today. Obviously they
1:21:50
Speaker 2: they ended the promotion. It was only like a four
1:21:52
Speaker 2: hour promotion. I think it was from two to six
1:21:55
Speaker 2: pm in that central time. But they gave away over
1:21:58
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand coachers for those that couldn't make it
1:22:02
Speaker 2: in that time, so at least they know they're giving
1:22:05
Speaker 2: away one hundred thousand burgers. Crazy. The Brewers are playing
1:22:13
Speaker 2: really well. I hope that continues. I hope they didn't
1:22:19
Speaker 2: get too hot too soon. I know they've been playing
1:22:23
Speaker 2: the Cubs and they've lost yesterday a doubleheader.
1:22:27
Speaker 5: But they.
1:22:29
Speaker 2: They took the first game. So the one thing I'm
1:22:33
Speaker 2: gonna say, Jacob, don't count them out until the game
1:22:37
Speaker 2: is over. They have come back so many times, and
1:22:41
Speaker 2: you know what, they've had so many different players do it.
1:22:45
Speaker 2: That's part of what's really kind of cool is they've
1:22:48
Speaker 2: had different players come forward and do really well. One
1:22:51
Speaker 2: of the things Christian Yellis used he used, and I
1:22:55
Speaker 2: think this is really cool, he used a bat that
1:22:59
Speaker 2: he had there was a Bob Bucher bat, and on
1:23:01
Speaker 2: the day he used it, he went like four for
1:23:04
Speaker 2: four or four for five and he hit a home run.
1:23:07
Speaker 2: They showed one of the guys have has Bob Buker
1:23:10
Speaker 2: cleats on this past weekend when they did the the
1:23:14
Speaker 2: players could choose things, you're they can still lose to
1:23:25
Speaker 2: them and they'll still be ahead of them in the standings, Jacob,
1:23:30
Speaker 2: but that's quite a bit considering the Cubs were ahead
1:23:34
Speaker 2: of them by side. I'm gonna throw it back, and.
1:23:44
Speaker 1: It isn't Candy and I had taken Candy this time.
1:23:46
Speaker 1: That's okay.
1:23:47
Speaker 2: It depends on the sport. Now, if we're going to
1:23:50
Speaker 2: go into football, yes, Scott and I, George and I
1:23:54
Speaker 2: have a little bit of a rivalry. Well, actually Jacob
1:23:56
Speaker 2: does too, because you know, his team is and my
1:23:59
Speaker 2: team is. The all this rivalry in the NFL, not
1:24:02
Speaker 2: that it's been much of fun.
1:24:03
Speaker 3: I don't hate your team, though I want to be
1:24:05
Speaker 3: your team.
1:24:08
Speaker 2: So but what I would say is from the preseason
1:24:13
Speaker 2: games that I've seen the Packers so far play, they
1:24:17
Speaker 2: really need to get back to discipline because they've had
1:24:20
Speaker 2: way way too many penalties thrown, way too many false starts,
1:24:26
Speaker 2: holding some of those penalties that they really need to
1:24:30
Speaker 2: clean up as well as and we've said this before,
1:24:34
Speaker 2: like the timing just doesn't seem right yet, and that's
1:24:38
Speaker 2: why they have preseasons.
1:24:39
Speaker 1: So all right, George was going on your time? Now
1:24:43
Speaker 1: you can talk about Detroit because you had the permission to. Oh,
1:24:48
Speaker 1: that's so nice of you. I appreciate that.
1:24:52
Speaker 5: Love.
1:24:53
Speaker 6: Tigers don't get used to it. Seventy six and fifty three.
1:24:57
Speaker 6: They're one nine out of eleven nine and two in
1:25:01
Speaker 6: their last eleven. Riley Green is still striking out too much.
1:25:05
Speaker 6: Let's see here. He still leads a team with home runs.
1:25:09
Speaker 6: The twenty nine RBIs ninety two. Spencer thurkos and of
1:25:12
Speaker 6: course at first is doing well. Torres has dropped off
1:25:15
Speaker 6: the second baseman from the Yankees. I mean he's he
1:25:19
Speaker 6: was real hot the first half, but the last month
1:25:22
Speaker 6: and a half. And Baiaz too has been really going
1:25:26
Speaker 6: under the radar for a month and a half now.
1:25:29
Speaker 6: I mean he made the All Star team, but he
1:25:32
Speaker 6: really hasn't contributed much offensively. But all in all, they're
1:25:36
Speaker 6: doing okay. They're doing okay. I mean, Derek Scouoble is
1:25:40
Speaker 6: a great pitcher, we all know that. But Casey Maize
1:25:43
Speaker 6: is another one who's had a hell of a year
1:25:45
Speaker 6: twelve wins now and the bullpen is maligned as they've
1:25:49
Speaker 6: been obviously picked up a little bit of steam here
1:25:54
Speaker 6: and has done well. Alex Lang is back who was
1:25:57
Speaker 6: injured and out all of the year because of surgery
1:26:02
Speaker 6: and of course, you know they got the best in
1:26:05
Speaker 6: the bullpen and the new guy they picked.
1:26:07
Speaker 1: Up, a George. If you're got to name a roster,
1:26:12
Speaker 1: just name the whole damn roster if you're looking at it. Sure, okay,
1:26:18
Speaker 1: really is that the best you could take out of it?
1:26:22
Speaker 5: Attendance has been, well, they're selling out the game?
1:26:27
Speaker 3: What are they doing?
1:26:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the words et cetera on yours etc.
1:26:32
Speaker 1: Dot dot dot what else?
1:26:35
Speaker 5: That's it?
1:26:36
Speaker 1: Good? All right? Thanks? Got I need a wine cooler
1:26:42
Speaker 1: or something to put me to sleep, although you came
1:26:44
Speaker 1: pretty close there, give me a break. We know they're
1:26:46
Speaker 1: pretty good. At least they have tonight and tomorrow night
1:26:49
Speaker 1: off after they're impressive three games. Sleep with the assholes,
1:26:52
Speaker 1: that's all. You had to stay sick of that impressive
1:26:55
Speaker 1: sleep of the astros. Okay, and they look good doing
1:26:58
Speaker 1: it and show them out. A couple of times. The
1:27:00
Speaker 1: guy's leading me a roster. Did you go to the
1:27:02
Speaker 1: game today? Maybe that I'm not answering that, Okay, don't
1:27:08
Speaker 1: then he must be looking at the roster on top
1:27:10
Speaker 1: of his computer. Okay, anyways, all right, Chris, Now that
1:27:14
Speaker 1: George is getting riddled, roasted or whatever, he's got there
1:27:16
Speaker 1: to go make sure it goes down the hat. George, Okay,
1:27:20
Speaker 1: go ahead.
1:27:21
Speaker 4: Well, I you know, if we're talking about Mike Town,
1:27:23
Speaker 4: I got to talk about the Yankees last night. I'm
1:27:26
Speaker 4: sure you guys heard all the noise in Tampa, right.
1:27:29
Speaker 4: Yankees hit nine home runs. They became only the only
1:27:32
Speaker 4: team to hit nine home runs in a game twice
1:27:34
Speaker 4: in the same season, and tonight they got five more
1:27:38
Speaker 4: home runs, so their bats are are live in a way.
1:27:43
Speaker 4: Hopefully the pitching could could finish the job, you know,
1:27:47
Speaker 4: the rest of the way and into the playoffs. Two
1:27:49
Speaker 4: big things for the Yankees real quick. They need Max
1:27:52
Speaker 4: Freed to be the guy that he was in the
1:27:54
Speaker 4: first half of the season. And we need someone to
1:27:57
Speaker 4: close because, uh but Duard blew the save tonight, but
1:28:03
Speaker 4: I'm not going to hold it against him. Hopefully, hopefully
1:28:06
Speaker 4: he could bounce back. But that's Those are the two
1:28:08
Speaker 4: key players on the pitching side that we need because
1:28:10
Speaker 4: the bats are are awake right now and I'm loving it.
1:28:15
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, my town goes to my alma mater, your
1:28:18
Speaker 1: software of Bulls. First of all, our late basketball coach,
1:28:22
Speaker 1: Amir of dur Raheem was inducted. Died a couple of
1:28:26
Speaker 1: years ago. I believe it was a heart attack, but
1:28:29
Speaker 1: those two batter, Madame, he's a super class actor and
1:28:31
Speaker 1: taking a picture of him, Coach Raheem rest in peace.
1:28:35
Speaker 1: I'm glad that US have put you in right away. Scott, heman,
1:28:38
Speaker 1: obviously known for his baseball prowess, played there from eighty
1:28:42
Speaker 1: four to eighty six. You have also to k t
1:28:48
Speaker 1: I j A. Katija Lexo women's basketball twenty fifteen, twenty nineteen,
1:28:57
Speaker 1: Koweika Mitchell nineteen ninety nine two, two thousand and two.
1:29:00
Speaker 1: And here's the big one of the group, Jim Levitt
1:29:03
Speaker 1: inaugural coach for USF. I'll tell you what. I had
1:29:07
Speaker 1: a chance to meet Jim Levitt, and of course I
1:29:09
Speaker 1: once talk to him when he was here at FAU.
1:29:12
Speaker 1: Jim Levitt built that program from scratch. I hated to
1:29:14
Speaker 1: see him get let go. I know why they let
1:29:17
Speaker 1: him go. I'm not going to get into to the details,
1:29:20
Speaker 1: but I am so glad that they put him in
1:29:22
Speaker 1: the USF Hall of Fame. I really, really truly am
1:29:26
Speaker 1: built that program, had him a top my program right away.
1:29:30
Speaker 1: And if it weren't for Jim Levitt, the USF program
1:29:33
Speaker 1: wouldn't be around and it would be building it on
1:29:35
Speaker 1: campus stadium. So it's only fitting as they're building it
1:29:38
Speaker 1: on campus State and a Jim Levitt goes in their
1:29:41
Speaker 1: great job. Jim, I'm really proud of you. And I
1:29:43
Speaker 1: had a chance to even interview on the field after
1:29:45
Speaker 1: a USF came in Cincinnati for homecoming and we had
1:29:49
Speaker 1: one of the most flamboyant interviews, like you wouldn't believe
1:29:52
Speaker 1: Chris get ready for Friday Night. But what Jim and
1:29:55
Speaker 1: I did on the field that Raymond James was classic.
1:29:58
Speaker 1: It was really last day. All right, one more segment,
1:30:02
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna mention you guys a little bit, but
1:30:05
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this one. Unfortunately, yesterday my uncle Bob
1:30:08
Speaker 1: Stroll passed away at the age of eighty three weekshire
1:30:12
Speaker 1: to his eighty first birthday. But I'm going to bring
1:30:15
Speaker 1: another president into this. Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed
1:30:19
Speaker 1: with prostate cancer a few months ago. Thankfully, we don't
1:30:23
Speaker 1: have an rip with Joe Biden yet, and I hope
1:30:27
Speaker 1: it's a while before we do have an rip with
1:30:30
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Mister President, hope you get well I hope
1:30:33
Speaker 1: you're taking the necessary treatment that you get. I'm not
1:30:36
Speaker 1: going Tobey's get a question performance one way or the other.
1:30:39
Speaker 1: How you did on the job. But the reality is
1:30:41
Speaker 1: you served the country. That's good enough for me. But
1:30:43
Speaker 1: there is no rip. But Bob strolls a different animal.
1:30:48
Speaker 5: He wants.
1:30:49
Speaker 1: Owned a business called ow Pro Sporting Goods. My dad
1:30:51
Speaker 1: owned it, Sam green Blat, He's the reason I met
1:30:55
Speaker 1: George Eichorn, Right, okay, you Sam green Black did so
1:31:00
Speaker 1: stroll being a co owner, and that's where Georgia and
1:31:02
Speaker 1: I got in contact WXYZ Radio and where we were today.
1:31:08
Speaker 1: And I wrote a book because of all of this.
1:31:11
Speaker 1: I all allow that to my uncle Bob, I really
1:31:13
Speaker 1: do so stroll the dead at the age of eighty.
1:31:16
Speaker 1: Cancer was diagnosed a couple months ago. They gave him
1:31:20
Speaker 1: six months to live and as I mentioned, he would
1:31:23
Speaker 1: have been eighty one three weeks on the night. So
1:31:27
Speaker 1: Uncle Bob, I appreciate well. Number one, I appreciate the
1:31:29
Speaker 1: fact that he helped me get Jeeves. But more importantly,
1:31:33
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for everything you've done over
1:31:35
Speaker 1: the years. If it wasn't for you and my dad
1:31:37
Speaker 1: in the sporting good business. I wouldn't be sitting in
1:31:39
Speaker 1: front of this national audience today, as well as all
1:31:41
Speaker 1: the different people that I've had the opportunity to entertain
1:31:44
Speaker 1: over the years, as well as right for so Bob Stroll,
1:31:47
Speaker 1: Robert Troull rest in peace, appreciate everything he did. What
1:31:52
Speaker 1: else can I say? Any closing thoughts?
1:31:54
Speaker 3: Jacob, Yeah, one of the things I'd like to be
1:31:57
Speaker 3: able to see is we see so many darn injuries
1:31:59
Speaker 3: in this league. You know what I'm saying, in all sports,
1:32:02
Speaker 3: too many of them. Whether it's the pitchers, whether it's
1:32:05
Speaker 3: all the you know, all the polls we get from
1:32:07
Speaker 3: the hitters, whether it's whether it's the three or four
1:32:10
Speaker 3: weeks to get out, as far as the running backs,
1:32:12
Speaker 3: whether it's a football. I mean, remember, no one stays
1:32:14
Speaker 3: all games, all year, all the time, all anymore.
1:32:16
Speaker 1: You know, you don't.
1:32:17
Speaker 3: You're never gonna see Cal Ripkins twenty six hundred straight
1:32:20
Speaker 3: games go out, You just won't. People don't play that long.
1:32:24
Speaker 3: But here's the thing I have to say. Think about
1:32:28
Speaker 3: Kareem Abdul Jabbar for a second, and Robert Parrish and
1:32:33
Speaker 3: both played immense amount of games twenty some odd years,
1:32:38
Speaker 3: and and you know, in sixteen seasons for Kareem Abdul
1:32:41
Speaker 3: Jabbar for eighty two games, sixteen straight, and.
1:32:45
Speaker 1: You have to won. He did with yoga, and he did.
1:32:48
Speaker 3: It with being light and being light on his speed
1:32:50
Speaker 3: and doing all that kind of stuff. And you have
1:32:52
Speaker 3: to wonder why aren't these why aren't these strength conditioning
1:32:57
Speaker 3: coaches at least putting that into there system. You know
1:33:00
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Why aren't they? Because we're not We
1:33:04
Speaker 3: don't have anywhere near enough athletes playing the whole way,
1:33:08
Speaker 3: and because they're getting hurt too easily, they're all trying
1:33:11
Speaker 3: to be way too powerful and their muscles are tearing
1:33:13
Speaker 3: too easily. And it's like we should start getting a
1:33:15
Speaker 3: lot more flexibility than we need get you got to
1:33:17
Speaker 3: get out your strength. They'll get that wrong, but you
1:33:19
Speaker 3: need to mix with some flexibility. And I'm just saying
1:33:22
Speaker 3: somewhere something. I'm down the line. We're going to have
1:33:24
Speaker 3: to figure something out there because too many of these
1:33:26
Speaker 3: guys a getting hurt.
1:33:28
Speaker 1: Great points. Sorry, can't any closing thoughts.
1:33:32
Speaker 2: You know, all I would say is knowing rest in
1:33:39
Speaker 2: peace to your uncle, but knowing that don't live with
1:33:44
Speaker 2: regrets like you know if you have a bucket list,
1:33:48
Speaker 2: don't wait, do it now. You know none of us
1:33:52
Speaker 2: are promised tomorrow. Make the most of what you have
1:33:56
Speaker 2: right now.
1:34:00
Speaker 4: Chris, I'm going to say, what's Candy just said to
1:34:04
Speaker 4: condolences to Scott and your family as well. Yeah, just live,
1:34:11
Speaker 4: Just live your life right, no regrets, don't look back,
1:34:14
Speaker 4: look forward. I seen it the other day. There's a
1:34:18
Speaker 4: reason why the rear view marror in your car is
1:34:20
Speaker 4: smaller than the you know, your your front windshield, right.
1:34:24
Speaker 4: You got to keep that stuff behind you. You got
1:34:26
Speaker 4: to look forward. Forward is more important than your than
1:34:29
Speaker 4: your past. Your past is your past. You can't change it.
1:34:32
Speaker 4: It's great, it's bad, whatever it was, it's behind you. Now,
1:34:35
Speaker 4: got to look forward and live your life.
1:34:38
Speaker 1: Great self. And Chris, he's really done a marvelous job tonight,
1:34:42
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you're going to be permanently assigned to
1:34:44
Speaker 1: the Wednesday night sports have change. This is where you
1:34:47
Speaker 1: belong at nine o'clock. I've seen what you've done tonight,
1:34:49
Speaker 1: and you've been on a lot of shows, but this
1:34:50
Speaker 1: one you're more impressive.
1:34:51
Speaker 5: Acts.
1:34:51
Speaker 1: You've done great everywhere I put you, but tonight you
1:34:54
Speaker 1: can finally say that this is where I'm going to
1:34:55
Speaker 1: be on every Wednesday night, every night, So look forward
1:34:59
Speaker 1: to seeing Christopher Night Georgia.
1:35:00
Speaker 6: Closing thoughts, closing thoughts. Yes, finally the Illags did the
1:35:05
Speaker 6: right thing. Serge feder Off number ninety one will have
1:35:08
Speaker 6: his number retired up to the rafters at Little Season
1:35:12
Speaker 6: Arena in January in a game against Carolina. But there
1:35:17
Speaker 6: is a lot, there's a lot of bad blood between
1:35:20
Speaker 6: Serge and Red Wings management over the years.
1:35:23
Speaker 5: But I'm fine.
1:35:24
Speaker 6: I'm finally happy that they put things in the past
1:35:29
Speaker 6: and they're going to honor him, which he so rightly deserves.
1:35:33
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, bottom line is this funeral is on Friday
1:35:37
Speaker 1: at ten am. I won't be able to go there
1:35:39
Speaker 1: at my Alzheimer's disease, unfortunately, has progressed to a point
1:35:43
Speaker 1: where I can't really do anything on my own except
1:35:45
Speaker 1: maybe a five or ten minute drive. Sorry, I'll be
1:35:48
Speaker 1: watching it when they stream it. But nevertheless, you know, again,
1:35:53
Speaker 1: I bring it up tonight. I mentioned it yesterday, but
1:35:55
Speaker 1: I've had a full data process at all. Life is
1:35:58
Speaker 1: too short, Candy, and everybody's right. You have to have
1:36:00
Speaker 1: a bucket list, and that's why I put international travel online,
1:36:04
Speaker 1: have fun with it on these shows once in a
1:36:05
Speaker 1: while because they come up without the whole stuff that
1:36:07
Speaker 1: validate my passion in my bucket list. And I think
1:36:10
Speaker 1: the biggest lesson I've learned this summer is as much
1:36:13
Speaker 1: as I've enjoyed international travel like I have, I want
1:36:16
Speaker 1: to do more of it. So even though i won't
1:36:18
Speaker 1: be able to be up there Friday, and I'm still
1:36:20
Speaker 1: looking forward to Friday night at the fights, and the
1:36:23
Speaker 1: way you guys are building it up anyways, with the
1:36:25
Speaker 1: viewership is projected to the eye, it'll be good. Now,
1:36:28
Speaker 1: all kidding aside, it'll be good to have fun with
1:36:33
Speaker 1: Anthony Sabino. I think I want to build this up
1:36:36
Speaker 1: to experienced baseball people talking baseball, and I hope that
1:36:40
Speaker 1: you and Rob have the biggest audience you've ever had
1:36:44
Speaker 1: because it might force you guys to scratch your head
1:36:46
Speaker 1: and bring us back again. And then I'm going to
1:36:50
Speaker 1: have both of you guys that act as Savino and
1:36:52
Speaker 1: my agents, so you guys can make money and we
1:36:54
Speaker 1: can make money, and we can make a lot of
1:36:56
Speaker 1: people happy with their public dam So that said, yeah,
1:37:03
