• 0:35
  Speaker 1: from well, the obvious story, the Delaware Valley, the return
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of the Spectacle of Spectacles, well kind of it was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Derby time. The flag is up? Yeah, were you watching? No,

• 0:53
  Speaker 1: don't worry. We watched so you would not have to now.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Jordan Walker, who this guy became a literal batman super
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: villain just like that, talking about playing Spoiler in Philadelphia
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: as he homered on his last not one, not two,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: not three, not four, not five, his last six swings
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in the home run Derby to knock out the hometown
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: hero Kyle Schwarber, Bye bye, You're out of here, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: silence the angry mob in Philadelphia. The boo birds were out.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: They were furious as the final round came to an end.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And Jordan Walker, I am told he is an outfielder
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: for the Saint Louis Cardinals, and he is the first
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis player to win the home run Derby. Take that,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Mark McGuire and Albert Poohos and all those guys. Schwarber
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the major league leader in dingers this year, and they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: were roaring, going crazy, and they were having a great time.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It was like a religious revival there. They were ringing
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the Liberty bell. Oh. They were so happy, so happy
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia for this guy. He was gonna win it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: every swing. Eleven swarp bombs. He had eleven schwar bombs
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: during the fifteen swing final round there, and every time
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: anyone came up that wasn't either Kyle Schwarber or Bryce Harper,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: who got exited in the first round. He was decommissioned
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in the first round of the home run Derby. Everyone
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: was booed other than those guys, as you might imagine,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: there and roaring cheers for Schwarber as he was doing
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: his thing there throughout the night, and it looked like
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: he had it in the back. What's in the bag? Oh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you cut a hole in the bag. That's what happened.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And then the scene and we didn't see too much
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of it, bat you up by Netflix, but they the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: scene of people leaving with their heads down. Some of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: them had the surrender cobra as they lost and their
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: guy lost the home run derby exiting as that home run,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the Walker home run soaring into the night out in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: left field. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question does Cardinals slugger Jordan Walker's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: performance in the home run Derby? What does it do?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What does this do for his career? That's the question.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What does this do for the career of Jordan Marker?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So I've got SpaceX edible arrangements and Buffalo wild wings
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: we are gonna make a tasty cake because that's what
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Jordan Walker deserves, a bunch of tasty cakes. And right there,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: shove it down your throat. Yes, absolutely all right. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a some players survived the spotlight and this home run Derby.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys that choke in it. My
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: favorite story years ago, I was with the Dodgers. They
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: had got named Mike Piazza, who was an epic home
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: run hitter with the He became more of a legend
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: with the Mets. But Piazza was in the home in
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Derby and if I remember Corfy, he didn't hit one
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: home run and it was very embarrassing. And he's not long.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: There was a bunch of guys that have not been
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: good at that. That's not their skill set. Jordan Walker
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and then the pressure and how guys melt under that,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: he absorbed it and that was impressive to see here.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: He strolled in like he owned the place, and he
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: kind of did. Jordan Walker kind of did own the night.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The spotlight was his. And I'm not a Cardinal fan,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and I enjoyed it. It was enjoyable to see this happen,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to see all those people. I had some shottenfreud for
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia fan. Am I still bitter about that home
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: run years ago the Phillies hit against the Dodgers at
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium to beat them in the NLCS? I might be,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I might be where's Matt Stairs right now? You know
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he's getting free food somewhere in a spaghetti meatball somewhere
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia there he was right if he didn't see
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it for the blind listeners. So this guy I had
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: some style to him. As Walker was up there, Jordan
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Walker is his cap backwards. That'll piss off Colin Cowhard
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and Ken Griffy Junior style if you remember Griffy, And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: if you're old, you know who that is. Ken Griffy Jr.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: This guy, I think he's twenty four. He is chewing gum. Yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. Oh, it could choke if you get
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: hit with the pitch, you could choke on the gum.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. And he looked but dazzled. He
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: looked but dazzled, seemed completely unfazed. And I kind of
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: get it from the standpoint of if he lost, it
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: would have been fine because Kyle Schwarber is supposed to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: win the Home Run Derby, so he was really playing
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: with house money in many respects there, Jordan Walker, he's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the fifth youngest player to win the Home Run Derby
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: if you're into those kind of age type things. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he acted like he was ordering a HOGI from Jersey
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Mike's and just calm, cool and ready to eat. And
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: he willing to take somebody else's food and just eat
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that and just knock it out of the park there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And I did not crack, did not panic, did not blink,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all those things, all those hokey things we say in sports.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You could have literally dropped Jordan Walker into Mount Fuji,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the volcano, and he'd still be chewing gum.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And no, no, no no no no no no no no
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: no that I fear nothing that energy that he at
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: least it looked like that on the stream that I had.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe I had a different stream than you. It's a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: marketing department's dream, and this was like a national coming
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: out party for Jordan Walker for those that care about
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: baseball and kind of like think about like SpaceX and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you have that rocket launch where everyone goes down to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: take photos of the rocket launch, and in this case,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the rocket launch was his Q rating massive. So if
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you're completely honest about this, he has been having a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: monster year in Saint Louis under the arches there. He's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: on paced at thirty eight home runs and driving one
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six runs this season. Yet, if you
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: are honest about this, anyone outside of the Cardinal fandom
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in Missouri and the states around Missouri there has not
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: really cared about the Cardinals in what a decade or so.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It's been about a decade since the Cardinals were any good.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It seems like it maybe a little less than that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seems like it's been that long.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And if the playoffs start to day the Cardinals, it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: is true they have a winning record, they would not
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: qualify for the playoffs. The National League is loaded this year.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And so Walker out there showing some poise, polish, He
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: had some personality to him. The holy trinity in modern
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Internet age, social media age sports, right, you can have
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that poise, polish and personality, the three piece, and he
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: had all three of them. And so that's that's where
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: we are. And listen, this is the kind of stuff
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that moves the needle. And the joke is, if he
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: keeps playing like that, he's got a couple more years
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of arbitration. Eventually he'll end up playing for the Dodgers
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of the Yankees. If this guy keeps playing the way
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he's playing right now. Jordan Walker, now speaking of money, money, money, money, money, money,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it's all about turning the pate here to the money train,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: t trip So a number of baseball scribes, the baseball elites,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: as we like to call them, the guys get free
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: loading trips to the All Star Game every year. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: these are Jabroni's. They were very excited. Jordan Walker. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: believe he earned one million dollars one million dollars for
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: winning the twenty twenty six home run derby. The Cardinals
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: outfielder his twenty twenty six salary before taxes seven hundred
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and ninety nine thousand, four hundred dollars, meaning, using some
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: back of the napkin malor math, that Jordan Walker his
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: home run Derby check exceeded his entire salary for the season.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And this is supposed to be a big deal. This
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is used to be a big deal. So the question
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: does this home run derby financial windfall for Jordan Walker?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: All right? Does this count he picking up? Is this
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a pick yourself up by the bootstrap situation for Jordan Walker?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So I do get a chuckle out of these type
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of stories. And these are things that used to exist
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in a different time in the world when we didn't
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: put our athletes on pedestals like this, and the fact
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that this is still the thing fascinates me, it really does. Oh,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: poor Jordan Walker. Only seven hundred and ninety nine thousand
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a year in salary. How does the man survive? He's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: got to buy generic brand bottled water. Holy crap, how
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: does he live? So sad? So I'm sorry, I don't
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: get the vibe that Walker was somehow lifting himself out
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of baseball poverty winning the home run derby. Don't the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: way I look at it, he was already living in
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a gated community of major League Baseball comfort. The home
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: run derby. Now listen, it handed him a bonus check
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: big enough to make his financial advisors send an edible arrangement.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: They're very happy, very happy to see all that. It's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: not some chicken soup for the sole type redemption arc
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that these baseball pundits are trying to make it to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: be the kid from the wrong side of the tracks
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: who finally escaped that neighborhood. Now he's making the big money.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It's just not the case. Jordan Walker has already banked
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: five point three million dollars in careers salary. Now after taxes,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that's about three hundred thousand still, though you know, he's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: made a good amount of money in career earnings around
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: here where I am in this world. That's high society.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That's straight up high society for Jordan Walker. So heartwarming
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: tale of grinding it out. Spare me. The narrative doesn't
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: work anymore. And you still get these media dopes who
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: all went to sports writing clown college and they all
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: do it. They're like, they make it seem like this
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is some amazing, over the top story when everyone's doing
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: pretty well, when the minimum salary is where it is
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in professional baseball, no one's doing bad. It's like a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: tech bro saying, oh, man, I really bootstrapped it my startup.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I only I was only able to raise five million
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in venture capital. That's it. You know my dad paid
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: most of that. Well, that's a real success story. That's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that's great. So let's stop acting like Jordan Walker was
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: living paycheck to paycheck. He wasn't broke. He was MLB broke,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: which means a third home does not have the tennis court.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Now he can afford a tennis court in a third home,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: he's got so In baseball, the word broke still means
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that most Americans would would love to trade the financial
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: situation therein with the supposedly poorly paid baseball player. All right, now,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: last word to the stream, to the streams of the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: streams of the stream. Did you watch this? Are you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: one of the people that don't have Netflix? Were you upset?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Were you angry you couldn't find the home run Derby?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: This was the first broadcast of the Derby on a
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: internet stream, not on conventional television, and Netflix went all in.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: They chose this as an opportunity to promote other Netflix shows.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: As you might imagine if you saw any of this,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: it was all about the Hawk, not Andre Dawson. No, no, no,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: if you're all doing who that is in or the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks for that matter. Instead, this was all about
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a Netflix golf comedy series starring Will Ferrell. Fun fact,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I went to the same high school as Will Ferrell.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: He was a little older than me, but we went
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to the same high school. He was a punter on
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the football team and he actually had some records at
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the punting records when I was in school, and I said,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: at the time he was on Saturday Night Live. I thought, okay,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: well fine, kind of became a big deal after that. Anyway,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Will Ferrell plays a character known as a Lonnie. The
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Hawk Hawkins and it's going to premiere in a couple
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of days here on Netflix. And so they brought these
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: guys out. They had Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, Jimmy Chatrow
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is at his name, believe that's his name, and they
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: all saturd at a desk and they offered random commentary
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: as the Home Run Derby was being introduced at Citizens
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Bank Park. It made for very awkward television, it did,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and for much of the time the boxing ring announcer
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Michael Buffer, who of course they brought out Michael Buffer
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: more on that in a mini He was trying to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: introduce the players, and it was just a cluster, you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So the question give me your
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: overall assessment of Netflix's maiden voyage as the home of
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby. So think of this like cologne.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Forget Calvin Klein or old spice. Netflix Home Run Derby
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: smelled like a clearance rack body spray called desperation with
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a capital D. It just did trying a little bit
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: too hard, just a little bit too hard. You could
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: see the flops with sweat on the faces of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Netflix executives from outer space on this one. They turned
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: batting practice with millionaires into some weird comic con type thing. Now,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: it's not surprising because Netflix did the same thing on
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: opening day the Yankees and Giants in San Francisco. It
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: was a very similar vibe there. They sacrificed the sport
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: for the infomercial. At least I didn't see Jameis Winston.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I missed him. He might have been there. I didn't
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: see him. Could have been there half the time. I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: want to stress this now, Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: other guy. They sounded like three guys sharing one microphone
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: because the engineer was drunk at a Buffalo wild wings
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of ambient noise in the background. So Michael Buffer,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: he showed up again. Is there a rule? Does Michael
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Buffer have all of these people mesmerized in sports executive world?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: It's wild? Apparently Netflix they bought the insert Buffer here
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: button and they wanted to get their money's worth on that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So here's Michael But good for him. He makes a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: killing every time he goes to do one of these things.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: First class travel, vip A hotel, and a ridonculous amount
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of money for Michael Buffer. What a cottage industry of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: absolutely ripping off dumb people who sign up for this.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It's wild. Anyway, the whole thing was I thought the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: booth was chaos. I wrote some notes down on my
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: my notes app on my phone as I was watching this.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I thought FSR alumni Matt Vasqukersion, he actually worked here
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: years ago, the early days of Fox Sports, right. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: thought Matt Vesquersion was like the only adult in the room.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: It felt like when he was talking, it was like recess.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Barry Bonds and Albert Poolos should never be on television again. Horrific.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It's like sitting and waiting to be called for a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: jury listening to these two guys talk. And even worse
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: than that, that woke Netflix lady Ellie Duncan I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: is her name there? Holy crap. I don't know how'd
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: she get that? Good for her? How'd she get that job? Wow?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sure she's a lovely lady and my apology store,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: but my god, holy crap. She is a reminder why
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the remote control has a mute button, Ellie Duncan. Why
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: do we have a remote control because of people like her?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That would be why she called Bonds the undisputed home
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: run King, which I thought was a horrible I guess
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that whole steroid ere that I lived through was just
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: a national fever dream, That's all it was. Then you
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: add in the ex jocks. You had Anthony Rizzo, who
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I thought was pretty good on some of the NBC
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: stuff that he's done, and Hunter Pence, and they were
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: terrible on the Home Run Derby. They kept bouncing between
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it's so hard when somebody failed, and fans just don't
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: understand you. Fans just don't understand with Rizzo giving X
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: teammate Kyle Schwarber the Haktuah treatment when it looked like
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: he was gonna win the Home Run Derby, like schwarbaumb
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: a tremendous humanitarian, the love child, the mother Teresa, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the Dali Lama. The way they were talking about Kyle Schwarber,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: essentially the talking down, talking down to the viewer, like
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you and I are just a bunch of country bumpkins
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and we've never seen a baseball game or a home
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: run derby. But that's the vibe they gave on the derby.

  Speaker 1: Maller on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: get your podcast from the Delaware Valley Phildelphia, PA, the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: birthplace of our Freedom, where Saint Louis slugger Jordan Walker
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: played betman super villain to win the home run derby
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: over Kyles Forber. We talked about that earlier. Now another
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: All Star made headlines who also plays in that city
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: of Philadelphia other than Kyle Schwarber who lost the home
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: run derby to Jordan Walker. So Philadelphia Philly star Bryce
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Harper has he's made a statement regarding the big hullabaloo
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that took place a few days ago. Bryce Harper has
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: publicly denied denied consenting to or knowing how the people
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: over there at FanDuel would be able to use a
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: personalized video that he recorded for a customer via cameo. Now,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see this or hear about this, perhaps
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you missed it. The story blew up, right. The story
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: blew up recently when a guy who says, hey, I
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: was an addicted gambler, I'm in rehab and all that.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: He filed a lawsuit and he used, as I understand it,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: he used this Bryce Harper video as evidence that he's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: deserved a lot of money and all that. So Harper
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: posted on Instagram that he made the video in good faith,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: he said, as a standard cameo fan request, and had
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: no idea that it would be tied to a FanDuel
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: commercial slash VIP situation with this guy that has a
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: gambling problem. Harper said, quote, I did not know that
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: FanDuel would do this. I did not consent to it, Sam,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I am, and FanDuel had no right to do it,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: he said, had I known the true intent of the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: people over there at FanDuel, Harper's quote continues, I would
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: have made the video the same is true, or it
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: says I would not have made the video the same
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: is true had I known anything about Terry or his situation.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: That's the name of the guy who is suing for
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a gazillion dollars. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question Bryce Harper implying rather clearly
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: here that he's the victim of this fan dual cameo drama,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: old rama. Do you have any empathy for Bryce Harper
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: in this situation? So I've got Donald Duck, twenty four
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: hour fitness and Rolls Royce, and we will combine all
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we will have the cone zone.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Make sure to slow down for the cone zone. Driving
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: around a lot of construction at night, to slow down
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: for the cone zone. All right? So number one? What
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: funest Number one? So I give crocodile tears to Bryce Harper.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: That was, by the way, the word of the week
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: on the Fifth Hour podcast. Crocodile tears. That's what I
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: give to Bryce Harper. Harper's sympathy plea has the emotional
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: depth of a kidny pool at a motel six. You
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: feel me on that? Okay? Good. All right, So, like,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: what did Bryce Harper think that this video was going
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to do? Did he think it makes no sense? I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: surely do not understand. And by the way, Bryce is
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a guy who has a three hundred and thirty million
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: dollar contract to play professional baseball in Philadelphia, and he's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: charging over nine hundred dollars for generic cameos like little
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: thirty second videos on cameo nine hundred bucks. Dude, you
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: got three hundred thirty Like what are you doing? Like seriously,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Like Bryce is swimming in cash like Donald Duck's uncle,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Scrooge McDuck. He's loaded. Good for him. Cameo is for
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: guys like me, overnight poorly paid gas bags charging. I
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: think I charged like a pult. I did like fifty
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: five bucks or something like that, and I've raised it
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: was lower than that before for handcrafted goodness on cameo.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: There's no price gouging here, Bryce Harper over nine hundred dollars,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that's price gouging, my opinion. Can't sue me for my opinion.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: So listen, Harper comes off as a total meathead to me,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: just a total meathead on this. Ultimately, the problem isn't
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: even the price tag or the people that fanduels aggressive
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: marketing and all that. The problem is the gambler who
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: looks at the clip as I understand that in order
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to win the lawsuit. And I don't read a little
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: bit about it. I don't know all the details, but
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: as I was perusing some of the stories that were
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: available about this particular lawsuit, essentially, it's like this guy
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: saw the clip Bryce Harper, it was around Thanksgiving, and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: he lost his mind and then decided, Okay, I'm gonna
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: keep betting. I'm gonna bet more. And that's like my minush.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I understand there are major addiction problems. I was addicted
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to food for a long time. That was my thing,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: love the food, and we're all addicted to something in one
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: way or another. But people love to pass the buck
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: as a society and blaming the app or blaming a
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: cameo video from Bryce Harper. Now, does this guy have
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a winnable case? Well, the video is pretty damning right.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: If he gets the right situation in court, I can
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: see him winning some money and getting some money back. However,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: nobody forced this guy. Nobody forced him or anyone else
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: to you know, to get the app and to download
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it and all that, and if you're betting all of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: your money, this guy lost over a million dollars. I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: think it was all close to two million dollars. You
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: didn't do it because Bryce Harper went it. You want
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a cameo video. I don't think I wish you a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: happy Thanksgiving, so I don't want to hear it. It's
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: called personal responsibility on some level. There Now page two
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to Anaheim, we go, oh, we're yet again for the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: second time, and recently second time. Recently we are hearing
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that Angels slugger Mike Trout has not changed his position.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: We are now, what are we? A few weeks away
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: from the trade deadline? Today is July fourteenth, as we're
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: doing this in real time, and the trade deadline is
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: August third, so we're not that far away from the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. And Mike Trout very happy. He's a happy
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Camper's got his chateau in Laguna Beach right there on
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the Pacific, and he goes out to the Big A
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and hangs out for a few hours a day, goes
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: back to his chateau in Laguna Beach, and that's it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't want to be traded question. What stands
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: out about Mike Trout passing It would appear, if this
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: report is accurate, passing on the opportunity to play for
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a contender and wanting to stay at the Big A.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: So Trout much like that guy we just talked about
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: with Bryce Arber. Bryce, listen, Mike Trout. When all this
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: is said and done, this is ultimately on Mike Trout.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: If Mike Trout really wants to get out of Anaheim
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and go to a good team and he's only got
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: a couple of decent years left, most likely this is
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: on him. You got to step up, and you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: loyalty is great if the employer deserves loyalty, I would argue.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I think most would agree that the Angels are not
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: a franchise that deserves that kind of loyalty. And Bryce
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: or not, Mike Trout exhoes Mike Trout. He sounds to
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: me like kind of reading between the lines here, listening
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: between the words. Mike Trout's like that friend who's stuck
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: in a toxic relationship and you're like, hey, you got
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to get out of the do it. You know he's
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: not good. Yeah, he's gonna do something crazy you're gonna
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: end up in jay. I was going to call the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: cops on you. It's it's a crazy situation. And your
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: buddy ignores you and everyone else. He's like, your body's
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I love her, bro I know you love her, dude,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: but you got it. It's not good. And Trout doubling down,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: doubling down on loyalty while the franchise has been a
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: demilitarized zone under Ardi Marine. Remember the franchise motto is
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: affordable tickets, safe environment, don't care about winning. That's the
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Arty Marino Angels right there. Market research, don't try to win.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: You don't need to win as long as you have
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a safe environment. A lot of bobbleheads kids run the basis,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: everything's good, Everything is good, right, absolutely so whatever's in
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the water system in Anaheim and Laguna Beach. Mike Trout
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: is hooked. He's hooked, and he's not hooked trying to win,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that's not it. And staying with the Halos. It's kind
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of like review renewing your membership to twenty four hour
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: finish to the gym even though you haven't gone to
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the gym since twenty seventeen. You know we I mean
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I'll go. I knew it and I'm gonna go. It's admirable.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: You're showing great loyalty. If you're Mike Trout, it's not
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: great decision making. It's not. And his mantra clearly is
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: work smarter, not harder, meaning he's embracing load management. Mike Trout.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: The good thing about playing for the Angels you don't
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: have to work any overtime. You don't have to worry
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: about playing October baseball. You don't have to worry about
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: going to play the Yankees and the cold weather or
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: somewhere else where it's nasty in October when the weather
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: turns bad. No, no, no, no. Now, he is a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Jersey guy, so he can go back to Jersey and
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: he can live in his home back there and hunt
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and go to pumpkin patches around Jersey and enjoy the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: fall weather and doesn't have to worry about playing baseball
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: games and chasing championships and all that stuff. He's gonna
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: retire with exactly one career postseason hit. That's how many
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: has hit one meaningless home run in a blowout game
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Royals in a playoff game. And
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: it's like Joe Mauer, except Joe Mauer, who also wasn't great.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: He actually had eleven playoff hits for the old Minnesota
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Twins back in the day, so it would appear, barring
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: some kind of eleventh hour change, Mike Trout has picked
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: comfort over winning, and he's got really no excuse. He's
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: at the point now he's like, well, he's not going
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: to trade him now, good luck?
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Final point to the NBA. Yes, just to annoy Wane
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the curmudgeon, some hot NBA talk where Milwaukee Bucks forward
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma. That's right, Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzman filling
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the content machine this week. So Kuzma recently slammed the CBA.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: That's what it's known for, or known as some call
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it by its formal name, the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Kuzma
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: went on a rant saying, quote, let's be real, the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: CBA make sure that the owners, the funds, the private
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: investor funds, and outside investors can eat off NBA team equity.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: But Kuzma said, the players driving the ratings and the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: merch are treated like short term contractors. You went on
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: a diet tribe on social media responding to a Jalen
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Brown bitchfest about the way the NBA does business. And
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: funny thing is, quote continues from Kyle Kuzma. We should
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: be like independent contractors, Kuzma said, since we are W two,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: we can't even write off certain things like our agent
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: fees bs. He said close quote all right. Question. Kyle
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Kuzma says NBA players are treated like short term contractors
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: while owners profit from the rising team values. Are the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: players getting a raw deal? So on this one, I'm
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: giving the rant and rave by Kyle Kuzma a little
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: side eye, little sidey Kuzma crying about NBA players being
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: treated like short term contractors or they should be. It's
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: for gazy, is what it is. And this pops up
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: every company. This is not a new story, I admit it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It's just the latest guy to do it. And so
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: here we are. Why do these guys think they deserve
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: equity in a business they didn't build, like I've worked
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio. Here's how I related. I
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: worked here since the network started. Network's the top network
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: in radio whatever that's worth sports radio. It's the number
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: one network in the country. Very proud of that, right
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and that's great. Do I go into the boss's office
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: and say, well, I get I should get some equity
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: in this. I've been here since the network started. Why
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: don't I get some equity? No, they laugh at me,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: just like when my contract comes up and they laugh
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: at me. So why would I know. I wouldn't do that.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even think about doing that. I don't have
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that level of hutsbah, clearly these guys do. Now, the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: NBA is a star league, right, all the NBA is
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: a star league. However, stars don't own the sky. They don't.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And they're more like these players are more like shooting stars,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and they dazzled briefly, really impressive meteor shower, and then
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: they disappear, that's it. Or they're more like another analogy.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: They're more like luxury rental cars. You go out, you
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: get that Rolls Royce, so that Bentley or more of
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: a Ferrari person. You rent that car, flashy expensive, You
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: pull up to the high end restaurant. All the hot
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: chicks are looking at you all that. You're all excited
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: about it, right, and then when the mileage goes up,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: you just that's it. The car goes back and they
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that's all like just when I started, I guess I'm
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: gonn date myself. When I was going to the NBA
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: games as early I was a teenager, Larry Bird was
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: still playing magic and these were the they were old
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: at the time. They were still playing in the NBA, right,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And I remember people saying, Oh my god, no one's
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: gonna watch the NBA, these are the face of the NBA.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: And this guy Michael Jordan came along and he was
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: pretty good. And then when Jordan got old, Oh no,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: no one's gonna watch the NBA because there's no Michael Jordan.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: And then this guy Kobe Bryant came along. People seemed
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to like him a lot. And then Kobe got all
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and he went away. And then like Lebron James called,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you know, going along and he was around, Oh my god, No,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Lebron's getting all these gonna retire, No one's gonna watch.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, there's always somebody else. Is that
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the assembly line always pumped somebody out, else out, whether
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it's the Parisian Proigy Wemby or some other Jimoke, there'll
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: be somebody else. And through it all, the multi billion
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: dollar team valuations remained intact. The permanent institution. The asset
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: is the is the foundation, logos and all that stuff.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: The labor force is where the volatility is in professional basketball.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Like fans support franchises and you like the players, I
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: don't discount you love the players that you're watching, But
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: no one last forever. There's no individual that lasts forever
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: in the NBA. Doesn't happen. And so if Kyle Kuzma
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: wants long term stability, I recommend getting a job at
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the post office. That's pretty good stability. We have some
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: postal carriers that listen. I know one of our buddies
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: in Nebraska who I met with his son at a
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: meet and greet in Kansas City. He's a proud mailman.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: He listens to the podcast every day while wandering around Nebraska.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: He's got a stable job. Good for him. The NBAT,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the points listen. In the NBA existed before these guys,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: It'll exist after these guys. And in the case of
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzman, no one's going to remember even playing in
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the NBA. Is that too harsh? Is that too me?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: What's real?
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 34:48
