  Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't done one of these in a while,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and the plan is to do the more often in
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, just like we said, we do the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: more often in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty four, twenty three,
• 2:18

• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a long time and every year that we're gonna do
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: more newby Nights. And this year we've added he's added
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a little I know, calm down, We've added a little
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: extra feature to newby Night.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Well what is that?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you. So, not only is it newby Night
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: now we have a lot of loyal Minion paid actors,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: bad actors who call the show every night and stan
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: on Hold. We got guys like hollering James that take
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: thirty six pills in the morning, thirty six pills.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: At night and change. There's a James right there. We
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: have blind Scott.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe Blind Scott online all
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the time and needs intervention when the show's out on
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the air. So he's there, and so many other jed
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: who fled, who's got a probation violation, so who knows
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: what's going on with you? Yeah, well that's blind Scott.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: But we also heard from Angry Bill. Hadn't heard from
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: him in a while. We thought he was dead, but
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: he's alive, and so there's that. So we have a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: lot of regulars, but they have the night off. We're
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: not going to pay them tonight to call in. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for new people. We'll tell you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: as we go through the night, new people to call in.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, been here a long time,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and so there's different generations of callers. People graduate from
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the overnight show, or people stop calling for whatever reason.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So this is an opportunity for people to call in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that haven't called in a while also, so it's a mishmash,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and we'll see maybe no one will call. Maybe we
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: have no new listeners and no old listeners and it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: all the same people. I have no idea, but we'll
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: do that later on. I'll give out the number. But
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: let's get into the monologue right now. Our lead this
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: out from the John Harbaugh sweepstakes, and not all precincts
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: are reporting in, but it does appear we have declared
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a winner of the election for John Harbaugh, whacked.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: As the Ravens coach a few days ago.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And the Harball roller coaster is about to stop. Big money,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: big money and no women stop. Yeah, all right, Well
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it didn't go around very long. There weren't a lot
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of loop de loops. And if you have not heard,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the news here developing in the nighttime hours. And we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: love when news develops in the nighttime hours because it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: really pisses off the daytime people. And I love that.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So we've learned now that John Harbaugh and the New
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: York Football Giants are this close to finalizing an agreement
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they have a double secret handshake, and that he will
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: be the next head coach of the morbid New York Giants,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh going to the cemetery to coach the Giants,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and barring any kind of last minute snaff oo, the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: deal is expected to be anounced when the sun comes
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: up later on on Thursday. The contract numbers are still
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: being hammered out with Jeff means some bean counters are
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: involved in that. However, again, it does appear that John
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh is going to take the Giants deal, and the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: announcement will be coming down sometime either today and most
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: likely today. If not, it'll be happened before the weekend.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point for the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: purposes of this malar monologue. We are going to assume
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the position that this is the gospel, that there will
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: not be any kind of hiccup at the eleventh hour
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and the deal will get done. So let's discuss the question.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: It's an obvious question. I think every man, woman and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: child have this question. So I'll just answer. I'll just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: ask it and answer. The question is why on God's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: green Earth does John Harbaugh want the Giants?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Why would he pick the Giants? So my thoughts on this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I've got the Disney Vault whiplash and Applebee's and we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: going to make a New York beef sandwich, which is underrated.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It's not bad, man, they do that pretty good. I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: can make a ripoff version at the Mala Mansions. Not
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: bad at all. So a this based on reading the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: information available, on hearing from people around the NFL. This
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: was a full on hostage negotiation where John Harbaugh held
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: all the carts. It's very expensive, very expensive for the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: giants to get Harball. The amount of money is going
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to blow your brains out. And the reason that the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: amount of money is as high as it is is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: because the giants have to pay what we call a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: suck tax. When you suck, you have to pay more. Right,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: if you don't blow, you don't have to pay as much. Now,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: after years of wandering the deserts of Jersey, I didn't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: even know they had deserts in Jersey. It met life there.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The Marriage and Tish Ownership Group. They went over to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the Disney vault and they found the Genie from Aladdin,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and they tapped into the Genie from Aladdin. They looked
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: at John Harbaugh and said, your wish is my command
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and John harbust don't really, here's a sucker. This was
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a total genuflection from.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: You talk about genuflex, this is it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I mean Harbaugh was supposed to be speed dating going
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: through the whole league, all the jobs that were open up,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: playing the field like a bachelor on a cheesy reality
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: dating show. And Big Blue did not just open the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: door up. From what we understand, they gave him the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Hawk Tua Special. We're going next level, full knee pads
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: with a giant logo on it. Total worship. They bent
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: over backwards so far, in fact, there are reports that
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: they got some kind of spinal displacement. That's how far
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they bend over and backwards to accommodate the former Ravens coach.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So John Harbaugh, who has been placed on a pedestal, Yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on a little pedestal there, so high? How high is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the pedestal. We need someone to give him oxygen. He
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: needs an oxygen tank just to call time out. It's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that high up the pedestal. After eighteen years in Baltimore,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it would appear all reports indicate that John Harbaugh is
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: getting the full Monty, the full Monty. He's got the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: keys to the vault and a pocket full of house.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Money, which is the way to do it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Madison Avenue, better watch out now because John Harbaugh, he
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was already rich, and now he's even richer, and he's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and go shopping. And the Giants are
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: gonna be picking up the tab on that as we
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: continue the Hour of Harball, page two. So this pending
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Giants Harbaugh era is already being treated like the Second Coming,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the Revival, the Great Awakening. They don't do hyperbole in
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Right, there's none of that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Now. Now I'll have to check with my New York
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: insiders there to get the lowdown. I'll have to go
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: with the e Dog and then my guy Uncle Maul
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in Jersey and Steven Manhattan, all those clowns. I'll have
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: them give me the inside information. So the big news
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh going to the Giants. And the question is
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: on this part of the train of thought, is John
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh's track record A garrongte of success in the Meadowlands.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Is John Harbaugh's success. They didn't have a good year
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: this year in Baltimore, but the most part good team
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: after good team, and they won a super Bowl with
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco of all people. So is John Harbaugh's track
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: record a guarantee of success in the Medlands. That's the question.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I will go first, you can go after me, And
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to answer this by saying n ope, nope.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And o pe nope.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: That is just prolog. It's prolog. To quote the Big
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Tuna Giants legend himself, Bill Parcels, no matter how much
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you won, doesn't matter whether you won a Super Bowl
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: or multiple super Bowls. If you're not winning now, you stink.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: That's it. And hardball is about to get reality whiplash.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I hope he can get one of those neck thing
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of a jigs to put on his neck because he's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: about to get reality whiplash. He is swapping what is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: essentially a Swiss watch in Baltimore for a Sun dial
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: over in Jersey. Big Blue, that roster of flotsam and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: jetsam the last couple of years, I believe the record
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is seven and twenty seven seven.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: And if you try, you win nine.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Games, seven and twenty seven over the last two seasons,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: which means what the New York Giants that roster born losers,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and they will change out players and they'll have some
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: new players, but you can't change the whole roster. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: let's be real here, the Giants are just the Jets
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: with a dusty old trophy case and better pr and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: different colors. But hardball is going to be John Harbaugh's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be a fish out of water. He has been
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: so used to the raven Way, the raven way accountability
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and sweating. Do you not do your job? That's the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: patriot thing, but the Ravens equivalent of that.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: And now he.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Inherits a locker room in New York where the culture
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is more culture club. Now my advice is to bring
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: in boy George there and change the culture club because
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you got a bad attitude there and right now the Giants,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and this is the same with all bad teams, whether
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it's the Jets, Giants, Browns, Titans. When things start to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: go bad, and there's that point where you cross the rubicon,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of like when you have the bananas
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and then the bananas start going bad. Well, you can
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: make banana bread, but most people don't do that, but
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you could. Most people just throw the bananas out and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: all that. But when things start going in that direction,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the g Man channel that old sports movie The water Boy,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and they go a full water Boy. Oh no, we
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: suck again, We suck again.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Now the last word here on a Newbie night. So
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: there are some reports out of Gotham that are claiming
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that John Harball the reason he picked the Giants is
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: because he was a smitten kitten for the quarterback there,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that he took the Giants job because of the quarterback question.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this directly. Do you believe that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh took the Giants gig because he wanted to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: coach Jackson Dart?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: So the New York media machine working all night here
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: wants you to believe that John Harbaugh has a secret
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: man crush on Jackson Dart.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I think they misheard.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I think that he said he had to fart, and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: then they put that as Dart, and you know, fart
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Dart over. Listen, The idea that John Harbaugh took the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: job because he really wanted to coach Jackson Dart is
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: straight up hogwash.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: It's smoking turds, is what it is.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Harball is going to the Giants because he hit the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: trifecta at Aqueduct. That's why he's going to the Giants. Look,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: what's trifecta?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So the location, you know, he's you know, been living
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: on the East Coast a long time, so it's not
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that far from everything, and you know, family's spread out,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but it's not that far from the old stomping grounds
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: in Baltimore, so it's close to everybody. The cash, straight cash, homie.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Even though you're rich, it's always nice to make more money.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And Harball's getting paid. He'll be getting paid like a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: king with the Giants, which is pretty good. And I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: guess they still give out raises some people. And the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: power of attorney, which is a big one too. That's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the third leg of the trifecta, which means he has control.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I know Joe Shane's the GM, but let's think about
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: this logically, if there's a decision to be made on
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a draft pick, are the Giants going to go with
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Shane's recommendation or John Harbaugh's recommendation. Typically the one
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: with the biggest paycheck is the one that makes the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: decisions on that. But the power of attorney, that is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: catnip for a longtime NFL head coach. So Harpball is
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: not going to the Giants to coach one specific quarterback,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and when you look at the profile of Jackson Dart,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart is like a He's like a chain restaurant
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: like Applebee's, and Applebee's is edible, it's consistent. It's not
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: going to poison you. But you're not raving about it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: all week. Hey we're going out to Applebee's on Friday
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to your buddies. You know, you're not telling your boys, Hey,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: we're going to Applebe's. It's like, okay, okay, you go
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and that's it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: You do your thing.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe you get the game on a ta there and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: then you like the chicken fingers.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Fine, Now, Jackson Dart.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: The elite time I did you know, I went and
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: checked out the scout important that I remember watching him
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: play and he had some nice moments, a few of
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: them during the season. But Jackson Dart's elite talent right
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: now until proven otherwise, is the ability to end up
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. Really good at ending up if
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you need a quarterback in the concussion protocol. He's a guy,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: he's got an average arm. He's one of these one
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: read guys, like a bunch of them, and freezes when
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the first option appears to be covered. So in the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: NFL you generally need to be rat a tat tat,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: treat the ball like it's a live.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Hand grenade and your arm's gonna get blown off and
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: you got.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: To throw it away and all that. And there's no
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: wow factor there. I thumbs up, thumbs down. Eddie is
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: probably upset with me and moving man Matt and all that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Those guys.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't see any wow factor if anything, if any,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of what John Harball is going to do when he
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: advises his new coaching staff will be all right. Just
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: install a very conservative, dumb down, rudimentary, one side of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the field offensive scheme for Jackson Dart and just keep
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: him up right. And that's again not why he signed
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a contract. Now, listen, if you are there's three ways.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It's the old tripod. There's three ways to win football.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: We all learned this in Pop Warner, right. I was
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: too fat to play Pop Warner, so I learned it
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: playing Tech Mobile. But the thing is, okay, you've got
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the special teams, the defense and the offense. So if
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you're really good at special teams in defense, you don't
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: have to be amazing on offense.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: You don't have to be.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And the only time that John Harball won the championship,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: he took a suckbag quarterback Joe Flacco, who made a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: deal with the devil and was the greatest playoff quarterback
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: For one month he was.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Insane to the membrane for the Baltimore Ravens years ago
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and they won the Super Bowl. So he never did
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it again. He didn't do it before it Joe Flacco,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and so he was just good for one month. Now,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: if you're betting on that to win, that's generally not
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a great recipe for success. However, that's where the Giants
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: are about to find themselves, barring some kind of last
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: minute hiccup. Again the news here, John Harbaugh headed to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the Giants. That's the story here as we begin the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: overnight on a new b night. Hooray for newbe Night. Yeah,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: so if you missed it earlier, it is newbe Night.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: All new callers, all young whipper snappers. When I say
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: young whipper snappers, we've done a lot of these over theears.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I remember one time we had a guy that was
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: like eighty five years old called up and he was
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a young whipper snapper because he never called the show.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: And if you've never called, you're a whipper snapper. Yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: it's a fun word to say, young whipper snapper. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: liked it, and if you haven't called in a long time.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: There were some people I was zooming through the social media,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: which is never a good thing that you should never
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: do that. There's a lot of schmucks on there that's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: going through Yeah, I mean people, and was it not?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: A burner made an AI video of me begging Justin
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati to call the show, which is very scary
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: because it sounded like me and it me in the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: video and it's rather disturbing. So I guess I don't
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: even need to be here. I can just you know
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: what I had to do. I got a great idea
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of radio. So I think next week I'm just gonna
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: go on vacation and I'll just make a bunch of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: monologues on like Grock or something like that, and I'll
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: just have those ready to go Evergreen.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they do.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Want you to take more vacations, Ben, so I think.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: You should try it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: They actually do the company's upset because I hardly take
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: any time off and they get very upset by that
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: because at some point.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: They're going to have to pay me for that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And ethic, Yes, we live in the age where you're
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: not supposed to work that hard.

• 19:32
  Speaker 1: have more on that, I'm sure than the next few
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: hours and through the overnight and tomorrow there'll be new
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: information on it. But our lead this hour is from
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the Swap Meet the Cummings and Goings Department. Update Update,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Free agent scorecard, Free agent scorecard. One of the big names,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: relatively speaking, is off the board with less than a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: month ago to pitchers and catchers start to work out
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: in Florida and Arizona for the twenty twenty six baseball season.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: If you have not heard yet, perhaps not, but we
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: have learned that left handed starting pitcher Ranger Suarez is
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: taking his talents to the Boston Red Sox on a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty million dollars five year contract. How
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: new you knew?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Suarez spent the entire life that he has been in baseball,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: his entire career in professional baseball. He has been in
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: pro baseball since he was sixteen years old, so he's
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: been in pro ball for fourteen years. He agreed at
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: age sixteen to a deal in twenty twelve, and here
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: he is thirty years old, the pride of Venezuela, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: he has been an all star level starter. Wasn't the alsome?
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Not this past year, but the year before Suarez won
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: twelve games had a good era a little over three
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: in that bandbox in Philadelphia, and now he is going
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to Finway. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss question. Does the signing of Ranger Suarez
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to the rotation move the needle for the Red Sox.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So my ad observations, I've got Venmo, Milton, Bradley, and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: flem and we will combine all of these together and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: we are gonna make a knuckle sandwich. No, if you
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: don't pay attention, you're gonna get a knuckle sandwich. You
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: don't want the knuckle sandwich, but you're gonna get it now,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: number one, all right, So it does move the needle
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It's got a pulse. The needle's got
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a pulse. It's an actual, living, breathing pulse. For the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Red Sox front office. We thought they were sitting out
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: for that big Sunny Day trade, the sunny gray trade.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: That they made.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: So but they hey, they're alive. Apparently they're there. They've
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: been napping, resting up in the winter. It's like they're
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: on benadryl, on a bender ben and drill bender and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: they actually woke up. So the GM Craig Breslow, the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: latest nerd to run the Red Sox, and he, I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: guess he finally found that.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: They found out.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: He was digging through a pile of spreadsheets in the
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: office and determined, well, I think we need to add
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: someone here. And this was after the fans, as so
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: many of you who listened to us regularly in the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Commonwealth have reached out and said, why are you talking
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: about the Red Sox. They're doing anything, I don't know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: didn't really interest me that much. Anyway, They raised a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: big hullaballoo, they poked the sack and Breslo finally got
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the owners to venmo him the funds to make it ray,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: make it rain. So on the Mallord report card for
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: left handed starter Ranger Sworez going to the Boston baseball team,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I am giving the Red Sox a B on the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Mallor report card. Now Ranger Suarez gets an A. He
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: gets an A. Uh.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: And here's why, all right, now, I do like the player.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I like the player. He was tough out. The Dodgers
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and Phillies have played often in postseason games over the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: last ten years, and he's been there for a lot
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of those games. And ranger Swarz has that he's got
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that dog get him, you got that dog in him.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: He's battle tested big playoff games in Philly and he
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: didn't he didn't urinate down his leg, so good for him.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: He's not coming from a place like Pittsburgh where it's
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the kiddie pool. He was in a shark tank and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: he did okay. And that postseason pedigree, which doesn't guarantee
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: anything because it's year year in and year aye and
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the same. Some guys guy. Some years guys are great,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: other years guys that go out and ride the vomit comet.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: There's no consistency of that.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: But Suarez has been good up until this point and
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: he has often carved people up in the playoffs. Now,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox the reason they get a bat is
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: because this sounds like a reactionary movie. It seems like
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: they didn't plan on signing this guy, and that because
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: of the public pressure and all that, they were forced
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: into it. And he's also thirty, he's injury prone, which
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: all these pitchers who end up in free agency are
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: usually over thirty and injury prone. And so the Red
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Sox will get if they're lucky, twenty twenty six and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven of elite performance by Ranger Suarez, and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: then they will be paying a surplus tax, the decline tax.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: After that, they'll be paying a lot for the twilight
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: years of Ranger Suarez where he's.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Not that good. And that's fine.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I'd rather play. If I was the Red Sox, I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: would rather play Rangers. I would rather pay Rangers wars
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: to sit on the what we used to call the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: disabled list back before the wolke Shoos took over, sit
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: on the disabled list. Then then that cheating. It's one
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: thousand and two, one thousand hole Alex Bregman in the dugout.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: At least Suarez appears to be an honest craftsman when
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: he's on the mountain, and he's.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Not one of these radar gun guys. He's more of
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: a wizard.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Watched him pitch a lot over the years against the Dodgers,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and he hit the corners and it's kind of like
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a getaway driver the way he hits those corners, and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: he limits the long ball, and that's important. Philadelphia is
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a bandbox, well Finnways, an all time one hundred year
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: old bandbox, and so the big issue is the way
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: baseball treats starting pitchers, and the Red Sox are going
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to coddle him. He's a number two starting pitcher. So
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: in theory, if you make the playoffs and you have
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: two good starting pitchers, you're going to have a chance
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: going to the middle to late part of the game
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to have the lead and play ahead. And that's why
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you want to have great starting pitchers. But they treat
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: all these guys like porcelain dolls, and so I say,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: release the kracking, release the cracking, right And even the Dodgers,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: who are like the kings of the Nerds, they did
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: that against the Toronto Blue Jays. They allowed one of
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: their beloved pitchers to actually go out, Yamamoto, and put
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: his big balls pants on and go out there and
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: get it done. So if the Red Sox are gonna
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: let him cook, that's great. I would let him cook
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: till the stove catches on fire and just go for
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: it all right now, Page two to the business of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: big sporty, The business of a big sporting So this story,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I don't remember it was surprising, shocking, or expected. Which
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: basket do you put it in? But we have not
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: learned that the Los Angeles Dodgers stars sho Hey Otani
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: generated how much?
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: How much do you think he earned?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: According to the estimation in marketing revenue show heyl Tony
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: during twenty twenty five Do Do Do Do Do Do
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: All right, you got your guess. What do you think?
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Do you think he.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Made fifty million dollars in marketing?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: No?
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: You think more than that?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, how about seventy million dollars A lot of money.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Seventy million dollars in marketing endorsement?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how about a hundred million dollars.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: That's the number, one hundred million.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: He surpassed Lebron James and soccer star Leo mess So Otani.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: It is estimated, according to the bean counters at Sportco
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that Otani made an estimated one hundred million dollars in
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: marketing revenue. Lebron was actually second. How is Lebron still second?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Eighty five million? And Leo Messi the soccer star, made
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: seventy million. Okay, so let's play the word game. I
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: love the word game. Big fan of words. I did
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I wish I liked words when I was in school.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I like them more now as an adult. I would
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: have done better in school. But here's the word game.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: What is the word for Dodgers slugger and pitcher Sho
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: he Otani passing Lebron James and Leo Messi by in
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: marketing revenue in twenty twenty five. So I'm gonna go
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: with two words. My words are Wowie Kauzawi. Those are
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: my words. Thank you very much, Wowie Kazawi. This is
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: a Milton Bradley game. It's bonkers to me, and I
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: remember playing bonkers when I was a kid. It's never
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the same game twice. It never is.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: We have been told for decades, decades that baseball is
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: going the way of t rex, It's going the way
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: of the dinosaur. And yet here comes this cosmic anomaly.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: As Andrea the astrology inside, I would say, this cosmic anomaly,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: who laps Lebron James and Leo Messi in the great
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: marketing race like they're running in work boots or something
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: like that. That's This is a tough day for the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Baseball is Dying Caucus. It is not a good day
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: for the Baseball is Dying caucus. Those mindless dingle berries
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: are eating a lot of crow Baseball has survived strikes,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: They've survived steroids, the cheating, a holes, an incompetent commissioner,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and rob manfraud and as long John Silver would say,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: shiver me, Timbers, a baseball player in twenty twenty six
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is officially the most marketed human on the face of
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: this little blue marble that we all share. It shows
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you the sheer gravitational pull of the Japanese economy.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Is what it shows you. Right, my god, you go to.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, it's like you've walked into a baseball game
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: in Japan. How much marketing there is there? And MESSI
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: that's the thing, and MESSI is we know he's not
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: headed to the soup kitchen.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: We know that, but this is a massive.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Body blow, body blow, body blow. Soccer is a global
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: religion and I talk about it once every few years,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: when the World Cup comes around, I'll talk about soccer,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and I always get these messages.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Why don't you talk more soccer?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And then I get other messages you don't know anything
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: about soccer.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Why would you talk about soccer? So it's like it's
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: both sides.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: It's a polarizing issue. But I understand when you go
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: outside of North America or even just America. Soccer is
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a big deal. It's a big deal. Last time I
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: was a soccer game, I was in Vancouver and it
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: was beautiful, great weather there went to the soccer game.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: It was an up and coming soccer sensation. Now when
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: he makes it, I'll become a soccer fan. When that happens,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I will be one hundred million dollars. That is unparalleled
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: monetizing the talent there. Tani's sitting on the throne. So
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I guess the lesson is, if you make a hundred
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: million dollars.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: In marketing in one year, you can.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Get by on that two million dollars Dodger salary, which
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: is pocket change. Right for me, if I made two
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: million dollars, I'd call everyone I know. I text everyone,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm making two million dollars. But for
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: him is who cares. He's using deferred money as a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: gigantic golden umbrella. All right, Now, final point we go
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to TV Land where Simias broadcaster Toto Knee Romo Tony Romo,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: who has been heavily criticized by bots and the algorithms
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: and the social media madetrix fake them.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I didn't think he sounded much different than he sounded before.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I watched the Bills Jags game, and I don't really
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: pay that close attention to the broadcasters. I don't have
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: them on mute. Romo and Jim Nance don't annoy me
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: as much as some others, so I don't have them
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: on mute. I wasn't really paying attention. I don't need
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: them to tell me what's going on. I can pay
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: attention as long as the graphics are up and all that.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: But Romo was getting absolutely destroyed for his performance in
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: that wild Card game over the weekend. Hey, he responded
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to his critics.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: What did Romo say? Romo said, the.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Reason he sounded the way he did was because he
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: was sick. Yeah, he was sick that day, but he
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: said he didn't want to miss the game.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: He said, quote, you're not going to miss a playoff game.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: It's too much fun. It's too much fun. That's from
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Tony Romo. All right, question, where are you.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: At on Tony Romo claiming his wild Card broadcasting performance
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: or lack thereof, was because of sickness. So Romo again
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: is getting cooked by the media critics. And so Tony
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Romo a man who makes I believe eight teen million
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: dollars a year. I know Jerome and Charleston knows that
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars a year to essentially play predict the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: snap on television and say, all right, Jim and and
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: now he's taking the flu game performance like he's Michael Jordan,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: or food poisoning like Kobe Bryant. Okay, got it?
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: So what is this?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: The coughing fit defense? Is that next to the twinkie defense,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the coughing fit defense, it's the ultimate get out of
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: jail free card for Tony Romo.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Here, I wasn't bad.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I was just flemy, Flemy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: That's it all right.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Now he needed a microphone medic.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: He didn't get that now.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Fortunately Tony Romo was not too sick to spend three
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and a half four hours essentially giving Josh Allen a
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: verbal spongebath on television. The broadcast was not football analysis.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: It was a romance novel. It was I think we'd
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: call it that. Well, it was kind of like a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: ron pol Peel ron Co Info mercial product, The Glazeomatic,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the Glazeo Maadic. Now it don't pass, the don't pass
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the mustard. Ninety percent This is my.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Theory on this.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And when people complain, and I know today a lot
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of people like to play the victim, but ninety percent
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: of people do not care that Tony Romo was sick.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: The other ten percent are actually happy that Tony Romo
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: was sick. And so either way, just keep it to yourself, right,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: just keep it yourself.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: And I don't hate Romo.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I don't. I thought a lot of that was performance
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: art the whole illness thing, and that's that.
• 34:39

  Speaker 3: we go, Here we go, Here we.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Go, Here we go.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: How about that to the third degree, this is one
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: big event gets grilled cool.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: So aside from berating reporters, Sean Payton also urged fans
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: to make noise when the Bills enter the huddle. He
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: went on to say home field is important relative to
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: the crowd noise. Ben, do you think crowd noise is
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: the biggest factor in home field advantage?
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, so ay, I don't think it's nothing. I don't
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: think it's nothing. I think it's something. But b because
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: of technology. I feel like this is a dated take
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: from the eighties and the early nineties. They have the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: communication they have and the helmets and all that stuff
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: they didn't have before. I don't think it really matters
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: all that much anymore, and I think the great equalizer
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: has been that big tech is involved in the communication
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and the sidelines and the helmet and all that stuff.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: So I think the weather. If you're an outdoor team
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: in a cold weather place playing a warm weather team,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Next, well, assuming the harbaught of the Giants thing is legit,
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: there are now eight head coaching jobs available in the NFL.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: Ben Which one do you think we'll get? Which job
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: do you think we'll get filled first?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Well, the Giants job getting field first, But other than
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the eight available jobs, I'm gonna go. I'll go the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. They seem hot and heavy. They've been very
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: aggressive this week with the interview, so I'll go Atlanta next.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: The Detroit Pistons are at the top of the Eastern
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: Conference and they're still looking to get better. It was
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: supported Tuesday that they have their on Michael Porter Junior
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: of the Nets to upgrade at Power forward. Then how
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: big of an impact do you think Porter would be?
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: So Porter is not a bad player. He's a role player.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: He's not an alpha. He's a good supporting actor. And
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: so I would say, if you're at a seven, if
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: you're the Pistons, you go up to like a seven.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: And a half, so a little bit better.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: How did we do? Cool?
• 36:40
