• 1:51
  he's been on a show. He's a very busy guy,
• 1:53
  award-winning. He's doing so many different
• 1:55
  things. If I'm not mistaken, I, he was
• 1:57
  doing something with the Olympics a while ago.
• 1:59
  It was not pickleball. I I do, it was pickleball too.
• 2:02
  I was the last time I, you know, it pops into my brain because we
• 2:05
  interviewed so many people. We're now talking to Emmy
• 2:07
  award-winning sports broadcaster David Benz.
• 2:11
  David, what's up on? Hey fellas, great to be on oh
• 2:14
  look at that look at that. You guys got the tinkscape logo
• 2:17
  up. I love it.
• 2:17
  That's amazing. You're a sexy man.
• 2:19
  You're a sexy man working on all the.
• 2:21
  Photos loving it. You're a sexy man, man.
• 2:23
  I, I, I don't know. I don't know who your wife is
• 2:26
  and I don't I, I and she probably knows you're a sexy
• 2:29
  man. You got some good looks over
• 2:31
  there and you make some interesting faces when you're on
• 2:33
  the broadcast. So we love that about you, man.
• 2:36
  You're a great. Person, I appreciate it, man.
• 2:38
  It's a it's a lot of fun. Yeah, the, the the Olympics were
• 2:42
  a while ago. That was 2016.
• 2:43
  I remember you told telling us that.
• 2:45
  Yeah, but the, but the pickleball, the pickleball keeps
• 2:48
  coming, man. I'm doing and and it's amazing
• 2:50
  to me. You know, you probably didn't
• 2:51
  have me on the show to talk pickleball.
• 2:53
  I can hear people reaching for the, you know, the phone swiping
• 2:56
  away right now. But the but the pickleball just
• 2:58
  keeps getting bigger, man. I mean, it's unbelievable.
• 3:01
  What do you Dave, what do you think the attraction to
• 3:03
  pickleball is? Like why?
• 3:04
  Why did it blow up like gangbusters?
• 3:06
  Like it there's courts going up and I'm in the middle of
• 3:08
  nowhere, Nebraska, and there's courts going up everywhere.
• 3:12
  It's it's. Twofold one that it's it's
• 3:16
  anybody can play right? And most people once they get
• 3:19
  over once you check your ego, because a lot of people they're
• 3:22
  resistant to play it because they're like, oh, it doesn't
• 3:24
  look like athletic Look how lame those people are.
• 3:26
  It's a terrible name. Whatever, I'm not going to play
• 3:28
  that. But once you get past that and
• 3:30
  you get out and you actually try it, it is a lot of fun and it's
• 3:34
  a great equalizer. Like you can play, you know, 280
• 3:38
  year olds could play against 220 year olds and it could be
• 3:41
  competitive if the 80 year olds are, are good and skilled and
• 3:44
  know what they're doing. Like it's, you know, it's not
• 3:47
  just about athleticism. So in, you know, so entire
• 3:51
  families of multiple generations can play and I've seen it and,
• 3:55
  you know, and it, it's it, it doesn't take up a ton of space.
• 3:58
  You can get basically 4 pickleball courts on one tennis
• 4:01
  court. So it's a better use of space.
• 4:04
  And then as far as like the sport overall, I mean, you know,
• 4:07
  obviously, thank God, COVID is, you know, finally feeling like
• 4:11
  it's a ways back in the rearview Mirror Now.
• 4:13
  But there's no doubt Kovid was probably the best thing that
• 4:16
  ever happened to pickleball because people were looking for
• 4:19
  things to do and they needed to get out.
• 4:22
  And so, you know, the, the, the, the equipment sales just
• 4:25
  exploded and, and that was really, you know, put lighter
• 4:29
  fluid on, on the flame that was burning already.
• 4:32
  Speaking of lighting lighter fluid, the Timberwolves had some
• 4:37
  new attractions to the organization over the last past
• 4:40
  year and one of them is a new owner.
• 4:42
  Alex Rodriguez is now Co owners of the Timberwolves.
• 4:47
  Timberwolves and the Wolves now have a guy that's never played
• 4:51
  professional basketball, was a professional baseball player and
• 4:55
  has a unique personality. What were your thoughts with
• 4:59
  Alex Rodriguez being now one of the owners of the Timberwolves?
• 5:04
  Well, I mean, that's obviously been in the works for a while.
• 5:06
  He, you know, he and his partner, Marc Laurie, they
• 5:09
  bought a minority interest on him.
• 5:10
  And what was it back in maybe either, you know, maybe 2020.
• 5:15
  And so there was a transition plan in place all along.
• 5:18
  What really made news was that the owner, Glenn Taylor, he, you
• 5:23
  know, and again, I, I wasn't, I didn't dive into all the, all
• 5:27
  the, you know, fine points of the deal, but it's from what I
• 5:30
  knew a Rod and Marc, Lori, they, they missed a payment that they
• 5:35
  were supposed to make. And so the Timberwolves owner
• 5:39
  like, Oh yeah, by the way, from the time that he agreed to sell
• 5:42
  it to Lori and and Alex, you know, the, the valuation of the
• 5:46
  franchise, you know, I think it went up like 180%.
• 5:49
  I don't know if it quite double, but it went up pretty darn near
• 5:52
  double. And also in that time the
• 5:54
  franchise went from being garbage to being, you know, a
• 5:57
  legitimate contender. So, so the second they missed
• 6:01
  that payment, you know, Glenn Taylor was like, yeah, you guys
• 6:04
  have defaulted. I'm going to keep the majority
• 6:06
  ownership. So it had to go to arbitration.
• 6:08
  But you know, a Rod and Mark Laurie, they they now are
• 6:11
  officially, you know, in the majority ownership control.
• 6:15
  And, you know, I think it's probably long term a good thing
• 6:19
  for, for the city of Minnesota, you know, because they have at
• 6:24
  least publicly expressed a commitment to keeping it there.
• 6:28
  You know, the, the, the, the question in my mind that it
• 6:31
  really effects that franchise is can they get a new arena?
• 6:36
  Because guys like Target Center, it's I'm not 100% sure if it is
• 6:41
  the oldest NBA arena, but if it's not the oldest, I can't
• 6:45
  really think I'm any older off the top of my head.
• 6:47
  Like it is it in, in the problem is you know how like all, you
• 6:52
  know, Camden Yards kind of started the new trend with all
• 6:55
  the great baseball stadiums, right?
• 6:57
  Camden Yards is still amazing today, but anything that was
• 7:00
  like built the year or two before that, it's not it's not
• 7:04
  really any good in in the Timberwolves, they built Target
• 7:07
  Center like in 1990 and then all the arenas started getting good
• 7:11
  in like 1993. And so it's like, it's a really
• 7:14
  old, you know, 35 year old arena And it they need a new arena
• 7:19
  badly, especially considering if anybody's been to the Twin
• 7:24
  Cities, like you go to a Minnesota Wild game over in
• 7:27
  Saint Paul and you go to Xcel Energy Center, like that place
• 7:31
  is a palace and it's amazing and it's a pleasure to go there.
• 7:35
  Target Center, it's like the parking is terrible.
• 7:37
  The arena is terrible, you know, like they really need an
• 7:41
  upgrade. So the question is, can, you
• 7:43
  know, can they get that kind of money?
• 7:45
  And can they get a commitment from the city to be able to
• 7:47
  build something new? And that's going to be, I think
• 7:50
  one of the biggest challenges in the immediate future for for a
• 7:53
  Rod and Mark Laurie going for it.
• 7:55
  So Anthony Edwards, very outspoken during the playoffs,
• 7:57
  obviously had a very good series against the Golden State
• 8:00
  Warriors, but complaining only took thirteen shots and said a
• 8:03
  bunch of other things throughout the playoffs.
• 8:04
  We had a Tim Roy, the Warriors played by play broadcaster.
• 8:07
  He said even as an opposing opposing broadcaster, he didn't
• 8:09
  have a problem with it. Or your thoughts to Anthony
• 8:11
  Edwards, both on and off the courts?
• 8:14
  You know, I think that, listen, I feel like there's times that I
• 8:19
  watch Anthony Edwards and I feel like he is, you know, I mean, he
• 8:23
  there he does things that that look like Jordan, right, But
• 8:27
  he's still lacking that total killer instinct for 48 minutes.
• 8:32
  And he also, you know, I, I, I don't love the complaining man.
• 8:36
  I mean, I get it. I mean, you're looking at that.
• 8:39
  I mean, that's just ridiculous that that he can get up and do
• 8:42
  those kind of things with without even batting an eye.
• 8:45
  But you know, if you're really going to be a leader, man, I
• 8:49
  mean, you got to be able to wait to keep that and check.
• 8:53
  And you can't be getting teased all the time.
• 8:55
  And you can say what you want to the to the media afterwards.
• 8:58
  That's fine. I got no problem with him being
• 9:00
  outspoken. But I feel like you, you got to
• 9:04
  you got to figure out a way to keep it in check on the floor,
• 9:06
  man, you know, and let your let your play do the talking, which
• 9:10
  he does a lot of the time, but he doesn't do it 100% of the
• 9:14
  time. And if you're really going to be
• 9:16
  in that stratosphere of great, great players, it's got to be
• 9:21
  100% of the time, man. It's not just about whether you
• 9:23
  can get up and dunk. It's about whether or not you
• 9:26
  could carry your team. And you know, I think, listen,
• 9:29
  he's still what is he? He's 23.
• 9:31
  He's a. Baby, he's a baby.
• 9:34
  He's still got he's he hasn't even come close to reaching the
• 9:38
  zenith yet. But you.
• 9:39
  Said it best the guy doesn't shut his mouth.
• 9:41
  He was on he was on that Netflix gold medal, you know, run and he
• 9:46
  said it right in front of the former president of the United
• 9:49
  States and he asked Joel Embiid, what do you think about Anthony
• 9:53
  Edwards? And he says he's all right.
• 9:55
  And and then you hear Anthony Edwards come up on the truth.
• 9:58
  And then and he that's what he said.
• 10:01
  He called himself the truth. And then all of a sudden when
• 10:03
  people were asking him, quote, UN quote, are you the face of
• 10:06
  United States basketball? He couldn't answer that.
• 10:09
  He says, I don't want to be considered the face of United
• 10:12
  States basketball when you're trying to be the next or you're
• 10:16
  comparing yourself to Michael Jordan esque.
• 10:18
  You can't go out there and say, Hey, I don't want to be the face
• 10:21
  of United States basketball. It makes them look really,
• 10:23
  really bad. Yeah.
• 10:24
  And until you've done something, the only thing I will say and
• 10:28
  is, is, you know, I would love to see, wouldn't we all?
• 10:31
  I would love to see like what the daily, you know, grind of
• 10:36
  Michael Jordan's career in his early 20s would have looked
• 10:40
  like, you know, with social media and everybody having a
• 10:44
  having a camera and on on their phones at all times.
• 10:47
  And every like, I mean, it is a different animal in that regard.
• 10:52
  And, you know, but I, I, I suspect Jordan would have kept
• 10:56
  it together. And that's the you know, and I'm
• 10:58
  not saying the wheels have completely come off with with
• 11:00
  that words. I feel like he just needs to,
• 11:03
  you know, he, he still has some maturation process to, to go
• 11:07
  through to get to that level. And I do think he's capable of
• 11:11
  doing it. But you know, it's it, you know
• 11:14
  he is still young, but it it's got to start to happen sooner
• 11:17
  rather than later. Yeah, I'm going to piggyback on
• 11:20
  that like and and you obviously see him more.
• 11:22
  We see him from afar. You you kind of get AI guess, an
• 11:25
  in depth and and up close and personal aspect of of who he is.
• 11:30
  And he said, you know, couldn't answer be in the face like you
• 11:33
  seeing him in his mannerisms. We see it, you know, from afar.
• 11:36
  Do you think he has that in him to to be 1?
• 11:38
  Not not necessarily the face, but one of the faces moving
• 11:41
  forward being his age and and the athletic ability that, like
• 11:45
  you said, he does it not. I mean, he probably do in his
• 11:47
  sleep honestly. Yeah, I mean, I think he does.
• 11:51
  But you know, again, it's all about and I guess he's got good
• 11:55
  people in his corner, right? Because I know he's got a good
• 11:57
  relationship with LeBron and, you know, love or hate LeBron,
• 12:00
  there's no question of LeBron has figured out how to navigate
• 12:03
  those waters, right? I mean, sure, his name comes up
• 12:06
  in controversial stuff every now and again and whatever.
• 12:09
  But for the most part, he's pretty much, you know, been on
• 12:13
  the right path. And I know that, you know, I
• 12:16
  know that Anthony Edwards has a good relationship with LeBron.
• 12:18
  So I think that's a good thing. And, you know, kind of take some
• 12:21
  pages out of that book. And I do think he is getting
• 12:25
  better. And I saw to answer your
• 12:26
  question, I do think it's there and I think it will happen.
• 12:30
  But and I and, and you know, The thing is, I don't know how many
• 12:32
  people know this about Edwards, you know, his upbringing, but
• 12:36
  like he definitely, you know, he is freakishly athletic, but he's
• 12:40
  worked his butt off, man. When he was in high school, like
• 12:43
  he, you know, he went to a prep school that was like 2 1/2 hours
• 12:47
  from his house in Atlanta and he had to go, he had to leave his
• 12:50
  house every morning at like 4:35 in the morning to get school in
• 12:53
  time to go get shots up before class.
• 12:56
  And I mean, that's a level of dedication when you're talking
• 12:58
  about being, you know, 15, 16 years old.
• 13:01
  So if he's got that level of dedication, I'm sure he can
• 13:05
  apply that to doing this. But, you know, he's also, you
• 13:08
  know, you're coming to the league and you're young and a
• 13:10
  lot of things are thrown at you. And, you know, a friend of mine,
• 13:12
  Chris Hein, who does a great job covering the Timberwolves for
• 13:16
  the Minneapolis Star Tribune, he just put out a book.
• 13:19
  In fact, I, I, you know what? Give me one second to go off
• 13:22
  camera here because I'm going to give Chris a plug because he
• 13:24
  deserves it. Yeah, we know Chris.
• 13:26
  We know Chris. Yeah.
• 13:28
  OK. Yeah.
• 13:28
  So Chris, I don't know if you guys have had him not yet, but
• 13:30
  he just put out his book and you can get it in the you get it on
• 13:34
  Amazon. And I literally just got it like
• 13:37
  2 days ago. So I have not read it yet, which
• 13:39
  I'm dying to read it. But I have heard from, you know,
• 13:43
  from some of my friends who have read it that there's a great
• 13:46
  story in it about when Anthony Edwards, Gerson, Rostas.
• 13:51
  So of course now is with the Knicks, which by the way, that
• 13:54
  was the whole Coldplay thing. I don't know if you guys have
• 13:57
  talked about that, but Gerson went went through that himself
• 13:59
  back then when he was in Minnesota.
• 14:02
  But the there's a story in the AMP book that when Gerson first
• 14:08
  called Anthony Edwards, when they have the number one pick
• 14:11
  and they and he called Anthony Edwards to tell him that, you
• 14:14
  know, they were going to probably take him with the
• 14:16
  number one pick. Like the call was set up and
• 14:20
  Anthony Edwards answered the call from his bed with no shirt
• 14:25
  on. And you know, so and Gerson told
• 14:28
  him he's like, have you lost your mind?
• 14:31
  Like, you know, we're we're thinking about taking you as the
• 14:35
  number one overall pick in the NBA draft.
• 14:38
  And like, you don't even have the courtesy to like get out of
• 14:41
  your bed and put a shirt on. Like, you know, but but then
• 14:44
  again, he got picked anyway. So it's like, you know, what's
• 14:48
  the lesson learned there? And that's the problem right now
• 14:52
  to me, Anthony Edwards and by the way, we are talking to Emmy
• 14:54
  award-winning sports broadcaster David Benz, Timberwolves
• 14:59
  broadcaster, also San Francisco Giants, the 49ers recently
• 15:03
  founded ticket company Tick Scape.
• 15:05
  We'll talk about that in just a few moments.
• 15:07
  Anthony Edwards is a unique personality.
• 15:09
  We all know what he is and and the talent that he brings to the
• 15:12
  basketball court. The problem with Anthony Edwards
• 15:14
  really stands for what he does off the court, how he responds
• 15:19
  to certain things in the media after the basketball games and
• 15:22
  he throws his teammates under the bus.
• 15:25
  He's not a team leader. He's it's been proven that he
• 15:28
  doesn't know how to lead A-Team. Carl Anthony Towns, he could.
• 15:31
  Now, I don't know what his relationship with Karl Anthony
• 15:34
  Towns when he was there. I don't know.
• 15:35
  Karl Anthony Towns, he was traded to the Knicks.
• 15:38
  He was upset that the Timberwolves traded him to the
• 15:40
  Knicks and they thought, obviously he thought at the time
• 15:43
  they didn't really get anything. And and then he started to take
• 15:46
  shots at the players that they traded for.
• 15:49
  And then everything started to turn around in the second-half
• 15:52
  of the season and he zippered his lip and look what he did in
• 15:55
  the playoffs and he's strong coaches under the bus.
• 15:58
  The problem with Anthony Edwards is controlling his lips.
• 16:01
  That has been his problem. And when when you have players
• 16:04
  like that, like Kyrie Irving, who doesn't shut his damn mouth
• 16:09
  and he opens up his mouth in bad situations, as his flat ass and
• 16:13
  his flat brain has said, the earth is flat.
• 16:16
  The problem is when you have talented players of that
• 16:19
  magnitude and you go out there and throw your team under the
• 16:22
  bus, it makes you look stupid. Now, you know, Dave, we, we've
• 16:26
  seen this many, many times with different players and we we talk
• 16:28
  about Michael Jordan, how special Michael Jordan is.
• 16:31
  When you look at guys like Anthony Edwards and you're
• 16:35
  trying to compare him to guys like Michael Jordan, could you
• 16:37
  really compare him to Michael Jordan?
• 16:39
  Michael Jordan was an assassin. When he went on the court, he
• 16:42
  wanted to completely cut your head off.
• 16:45
  This guy goes on the court, if he misses a shot, he sit there
• 16:49
  and what, he sits there on the sidelines whining and whippering
• 16:52
  to the coach. Get me back out that couch.
• 16:54
  I only got 10 shots in the whole game or in the fourth quarter.
• 16:57
  To me that's a problem when you don't know how to control.
• 17:00
  Yourself. The other thing Jordan would
• 17:02
  have went and got shots right. I mean, you know, go go get
• 17:05
  yourself some shots, man, you know, like get yourself open.
• 17:08
  I'm and there's a difference between getting shots and being
• 17:10
  a ball log, but like make yourself available, man beat
• 17:13
  your defender to the point where they got to give you the ball,
• 17:15
  you know, but again, I think it will happen, man.
• 17:19
  I mean, we're talking about guy with a ton of talent and I, you
• 17:23
  know, I, I don't know that there's, I don't know that
• 17:26
  there's, you know, three other guys in the league that I would
• 17:28
  trade him for right now. I really don't, you know, the
• 17:30
  list is short, but again, that the shine could start to come
• 17:35
  off if he doesn't take that next step this year.
• 17:37
  And and that's going to be, you know, that's going to be what
• 17:40
  everybody's going to be watching.
• 17:41
  And if I was listening, if I was in his camp, the one thing I
• 17:44
  would tell him I would to do is man, and, and maybe he has
• 17:47
  already, but I would, I'd be like, dude, you need a full time
• 17:51
  publicist that's around you at all times.
• 17:53
  Like you don't send out, you're you're off social media, you're
• 17:56
  not sending out any tweets. Like, you know, you're not like,
• 18:00
  don't, you're not doing any of it.
• 18:01
  Like you're not doing anything yourself.
• 18:05
  He's Kevin Durant. His favorite player growing up
• 18:08
  is Kevin Durant. He's exactly Kevin Durant until
• 18:11
  he gets off the hump. Kevin Durant couldn't do it
• 18:13
  himself. He had Russell Westbrook.
• 18:15
  He had James Harden. He had Serge Ibaka.
• 18:18
  Could never win. And now you have Anthony
• 18:20
  Edwards. He had Carl Anthony Towns, he
• 18:23
  had Rudy Gobert. He's had all these guys and
• 18:25
  still can't go to the hub and he's making excuses just like
• 18:28
  Kevin Durant, his favorite player.
• 18:30
  That to me is a problem. Speaking of teams that you
• 18:34
  obviously broadcast for the 49ers and I want to I had to get
• 18:38
  into this and transition into this because there's something
• 18:42
  about their coach that I don't like.
• 18:46
  And Kyle Shanahan, who everybody thinks is one of the masterminds
• 18:50
  of the offense in the NFL, has never won anything.
• 18:54
  He's been to two Super Bowls and has fallen flat on his ass.
• 18:58
  He was an offensive coordinator and then he fall flat on his
• 19:01
  faster fall flat on his ass in the fourth quarter when he
• 19:05
  played the Patriots because he stopped running the ball.
• 19:09
  What is it about this guy and what is the love fest for 49er
• 19:13
  fans? And do you think if they don't
• 19:16
  make the playoffs this year and make a run, is he going to get
• 19:18
  fired? Uh well, I think that if they
• 19:23
  don't make the playoffs this year, he should get fired.
• 19:26
  I would say that. I mean, you know, it's it's So
• 19:28
  what have you done for me lately?
• 19:30
  Business? And I know they were in the
• 19:31
  Super Bowl the year before last, but that doesn't really get you
• 19:34
  very much at the end of the day. We look what the Nuggets did
• 19:36
  with Mike Malone, right? I mean it's like nobody saw that
• 19:39
  coming. So and and I think some of the
• 19:43
  shine has come off a little bit with Kyle there.
• 19:46
  It's the most 49er fans that I talked to are kind of yeah, you
• 19:51
  know, they, they feel like Kyle's a good coach.
• 19:54
  I don't know that anybody feels like he's a great coach.
• 19:57
  I think he I do think that he, you know, has a really diverse
• 20:01
  way of, you know, being able to run an offense and when you've
• 20:05
  got the right players, it can, you know, it can really be
• 20:09
  accentuated when you've got a healthy Christian McCaffrey, you
• 20:13
  know, and you can be able to do a lot of things.
• 20:15
  And then last year, you don't have a healthy Christian
• 20:17
  McCaffrey and all of a sudden you look very pedestrian and
• 20:19
  you're struggling. I mean they had a.
• 20:20
  A lot of injuries last year, but it still wasn't just McCaffrey.
• 20:24
  But at the end of the day, yeah, there's no question, man, it's I
• 20:29
  think this a must do year for him, for him to be sticking
• 20:32
  around. And you know, I mean, what is
• 20:35
  the average tenure of an NFL coach nowadays?
• 20:37
  Dave, he's overrated. We have guys that have this love
• 20:41
  fest for him on this show. Coach Fish over there, love
• 20:44
  fest, Owen love fest. And I don't think the guys want
• 20:49
  anything. To me, he is to me, a bona fide
• 20:52
  assistant coach. That's what he is.
• 20:54
  He hasn't won anything and until he went something.
• 20:58
  And by the way, when was the last time the San Francisco
• 21:00
  49ers want something for almost 40 Niner fans?
• 21:04
  Listen to this show right now. Let's hear it.
• 21:06
  When was the last time? I don't even think you are
• 21:09
  alive. You know what their biggest?
• 21:12
  Their biggest win in the last decade was probably that NFC
• 21:16
  championship won over the Lions, a game they had no business
• 21:19
  winning, right, to get to the Super Bowl.
• 21:21
  And that was like a miracle that they came back to win that game.
• 21:25
  So, you know, it's yeah, they yeah.
• 21:29
  We'll see, man. Kyle Shanahan paid off the NFL.
• 21:32
  That's what happened. I'll see this, I'll see this,
• 21:35
  Errol. Here's my here's my gut, though.
• 21:38
  My gut is last year at this time, I was telling everybody,
• 21:43
  because everybody last year at this time was like, oh, the
• 21:46
  preseason power rankings, the 49ers were like, you know, top
• 21:49
  three, top 2 on a lot of the power rankings.
• 21:52
  And I was telling everybody I was like, yeah, I got a bad
• 21:56
  feeling, man. Like everybody's too high on
• 21:58
  this team. Like they were really healthy
• 22:01
  the Super Bowl year. Like, I just feel like they, you
• 22:04
  know, and that's obviously a big part of it, right?
• 22:07
  Like any team in the NFL, you're only as good as your injured
• 22:10
  reserve. You know, if you could keep your
• 22:12
  injured, injured reserve from getting too long, you got a you
• 22:15
  got a shot and, you know, and last year the, it, it played out
• 22:20
  terribly for the Niners. This year.
• 22:21
  I have the opposite feeling this year.
• 22:23
  I feel like everybody's down on them.
• 22:24
  Like this will probably be, they'll probably have a pretty
• 22:27
  good year. I, you know, but a good year
• 22:30
  here. I mean, the, the bigger question
• 22:32
  in my mind is just making the playoffs and losing in the first
• 22:36
  round. Keep Kyle Shanahan a job.
• 22:38
  That's a bigger question, right? Like, I mean, if they if they
• 22:42
  have a losing record and they're out of the playoffs for a second
• 22:45
  straight year, I don't think they're saying question he's
• 22:46
  gone. But if they, you know, if they
• 22:49
  win, say they go 10 and 7 and they lose a first round playoff
• 22:53
  game, you know that depending who's available, then that might
• 22:57
  be enough to make a change. Well, they invited Bambi.
• 23:00
  They invited Bambi back. And if you don't know who that
• 23:03
  is, that's Robert Sala, as we gave him the nickname they.
• 23:06
  Traded for. A deer.
• 23:07
  A deer in the headlights, that's what we call him Bambi, because
• 23:11
  he absolutely doesn't know well as a head.
• 23:14
  Coach as a defensive coordinator, I, I think he was
• 23:16
  pretty good. So but he keeps your seats.
• 23:18
  You're an eye on him. But I but, but he, he people out
• 23:21
  here think I lay on him. So we'll see.
• 23:23
  So another guy that the 49ers are forward Niners fans are very
• 23:26
  split on and just football fans very split on his.
• 23:27
  Brock Purdy as well. He gets a big contract this
• 23:29
  offseason. Everyone calls him a system
• 23:30
  quarterback. Cam Newton loves hating on him,
• 23:32
  saying he's like a 16th ranked quarterback in the NFL.
• 23:34
  What are your thoughts? So what he has been.
• 23:37
  I mean, listen, if I was going to just based upon talent and
• 23:42
  you know you, I knew you were talking about the Madden
• 23:44
  rankings earlier. I mean, what I'd be curious to
• 23:47
  know what is Brock Pretty's Madden ranking amongst
• 23:49
  quarterbacks? It's probably like 20 second out
• 23:51
  of starters, right? And I think that's probably a
• 23:54
  fair reflection of where you would take him based upon
• 23:56
  talent. But you know, prior to last year
• 24:00
  without the injuries, when he had healthy players around him,
• 24:03
  he he did, you know, he was more than a game manager, man.
• 24:06
  He made plays and he and he, he made plays with his legs.
• 24:10
  I mean, he, you know, listen, he's not Josh Allen.
• 24:12
  He's obviously not Lamar Jackson, but.
• 24:15
  He he can. Get out and run and he could
• 24:17
  beat you and he makes the smart play.
• 24:18
  I mean, even when he got in, you know when he when he got in
• 24:21
  that, that rookie year, I can remember they played a big game
• 24:24
  against Seattle and he scrambled for a first down and could have
• 24:27
  gotten more, but he went down South.
• 24:28
  The clock was expire and you know, it's like he's got good,
• 24:31
  good game awareness. So is he, you know, is he a $50
• 24:35
  million quarterback? I mean, come on, like that's I
• 24:39
  don't. But at the end of the day, if,
• 24:42
  you know, you got a guy that that helped you win you, you got
• 24:44
  to pay him. And plus, you got, you know, if
• 24:46
  I guess if you prorate that out for the fact that you were
• 24:49
  paying him, you know, 800 grand for the first couple of years,
• 24:51
  maybe it doesn't sting as bad. But, you know, we'll see if he
• 24:56
  if he, you know, if he has healthy weapons, I think he
• 24:59
  could be good. He's not going to be great.
• 25:01
  He's not going to be an all pro. But, you know, I think he's fine
• 25:05
  back there. But you know, again, I'm not I'm
• 25:08
  not I'm not a I'm not a Brock pretty hater.
• 25:10
  I'm not a Brock pretty, you know, you know, huge fan.
• 25:13
  I'm not leading the bandwagon. I think he's fine.
• 25:16
  I think he'll do a nice job. I don't think he's going to, you
• 25:20
  know, lead the league in interceptions or or take the the
• 25:22
  highest number of sacks. But I also don't think he's he's
• 25:24
  not going to lead the league in touchdowns.
• 25:26
  And you know what the bottom line is, can he be clutch?
• 25:28
  And he's proven to be clutch in his clear one career when it's
• 25:31
  mattered. And if you can continue that,
• 25:33
  then you know what more do you want.
• 25:35
  It's funny, I get in an argument with my buddy all the time
• 25:37
  because he's like, I hate him. I want to trade him.
• 25:39
  I was like, well, he he, he still wins.
• 25:42
  So you got to, you got to take that for.
• 25:43
  What it the same person that wanted Daniel Jones over him?
• 25:46
  Yeah, true. But you, you see it all the time
• 25:50
  in, in multiple sports and like what do you think like from the
• 25:55
  dynamic of a team, what do you think separates the good teams
• 25:58
  from the great teams? Is it is it individual players
• 26:00
  of them coming as a team? Is it the clubhouse or is it a
• 26:02
  virtue of like all things combined?
• 26:04
  Yeah, I mean, listen, they've, you could go back to Casey
• 26:08
  Stengel, right? I mean, everybody of sports has
• 26:12
  been like trying to find out what the secret sauce is, right?
• 26:15
  I mean, it's some years you win because you got a Michael Jordan
• 26:19
  and he pulls everybody along somewhere.
• 26:22
  Years you win because you're the Detroit Pistons and you guys
• 26:25
  just coalesce the right way. You know, it's it's I don't
• 26:29
  think that there's one pride and true pattern.
• 26:33
  I and and it's just kind of a living, breathing thing that
• 26:35
  comes to life. And are you lucky with injuries?
• 26:38
  Do you have the right schedule? Do you do you get the right hit
• 26:41
  at the right time? Do you do you make the right
• 26:43
  catch at the right time? I mean, it's just so many things
• 26:47
  that, you know, that come into it in the margin nowadays in
• 26:51
  every league, especially the NFL is so razor thin, man.
• 26:56
  I mean, it's so razor thin. I mean, can you if we could go
• 27:01
  through the 32 teams right now and probably pick five teams
• 27:04
  that we know for sure are not going to make the playoffs and
• 27:07
  pick another five that we know for sure will make the playoffs
• 27:10
  and probably get one or two of them wrong on both sides.
• 27:13
  Like that's just how razor thin the margins are.
• 27:17
  And you know, you just don't know what is going to happen.
• 27:20
  So I think you just got to ride the wave, Man.
• 27:23
  I, I wish I had a better answer to that.
• 27:24
  But I think, again, everybody's been trying to find that that
• 27:27
  answer for the history time across every sport.
• 27:30
  We are talking to Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster
• 27:33
  Dave Benz. He's been on a show before.
• 27:35
  He works with the 49ers, the San Francisco Giants, everybody.
• 27:39
  He works for everybody. OK, He's the pickleball winner.
• 27:42
  He's the pickleball announcer. And, and Speaking of pickleballs
• 27:46
  and, and you were Speaking of 1 Brock Purdy, who I actually
• 27:49
  like. And I think he's a lot better
• 27:50
  than a lot of people think he is going to be this year.
• 27:54
  I don't know if he's an all pro guy, but I think he could be a
• 27:57
  top ten quarterback in the league.
• 27:59
  I don't understand why anybody thinks he doesn't have the
• 28:02
  talent to be that and especially Kyle Shanahan, as Kyle Shanahan
• 28:07
  is the offensive goddess. But I I want to get off football
• 28:12
  and I want to talk about the San Francisco Giants and the Giants,
• 28:15
  they've been up and down all season long, the trade deadlines
• 28:18
  right around the corner. Do you think somebody named
• 28:22
  Buster Posey has something up his sleeve?
• 28:25
  And if you think he does, who do you think it is?
• 28:29
  Man, I, I, you know, prior to doing Endeavours trade, Buster
• 28:36
  really hadn't done anything. Buster hadn't made any deals.
• 28:39
  So I mean, does he have any? They all stop asleep.
• 28:43
  I mean, where they're sitting right now.
• 28:44
  I had to pull up the standings because to be honest with you,
• 28:46
  they kind of, they started off great, right?
• 28:48
  They started off. So.
• 28:49
  Incredibly right on. And then and then when they
• 28:52
  brought endeavours, everybody's like, oh, this is the ticket.
• 28:54
  Now they've lost six in a row and they're, you know, their
• 28:57
  their game under 500. And you know, I and I guess
• 29:00
  they're you know, they're benefiting.
• 29:03
  I in some respects from the fact that the Dodgers were hurt much
• 29:06
  of the year and and didn't really take off, Although now
• 29:08
  they're you know, now the Giants are 9 and FX.
• 29:13
  Listen, if I'm Buster Posey, I'm looking at a 500 team right now.
• 29:18
  I'm probably not going to make it.
• 29:20
  I'm probably not going to give up anything really to try.
• 29:23
  I mean, what are you going to do?
• 29:24
  I mean, you're going to try and get in and sneak in as a wild
• 29:26
  card. Maybe with this team, you know,
• 29:31
  they've got some decent pitching and they I think that they're
• 29:34
  probably better than 500 team. They'll probably finish with 85
• 29:39
  wins. Is that enough to get you a wild
• 29:41
  card, you know, 8588 maybe if they if that things go well, you
• 29:45
  know, but I don't think that they're I don't think they're
• 29:48
  championship contender and Buster knows what it's like to
• 29:50
  win championships. So I think you really kind of
• 29:53
  got to just cool The Jets a little bit.
• 29:55
  You already made your big deal and get endeavors and and you
• 29:58
  try to, you know, try maybe you catch lightning in a bottle with
• 30:02
  the guys you got, maybe you get somebody off the waiver wire
• 30:05
  later. But I wouldn't, I wouldn't
• 30:07
  really make any huge moves. So in terms of the Dodgers, so
• 30:11
  we're talking about the deferred money throughout the year with
• 30:15
  Joey Otani, Freddie Freeman, and a lot of people think it's
• 30:17
  ruining baseball. As a Giants guy, I rival with
• 30:20
  the Dodgers. What are your thoughts of that?
• 30:23
  I mean, it's easy to hate the Dodgers when you're sitting in
• 30:27
  in, you know, orange and black, right?
• 30:29
  But at the same time, you got to tip your cap to them, man.
• 30:34
  I mean, they're playing within the rules that are set up in
• 30:37
  baseball. And Rob Manfred, I know over All
• 30:39
  Star weekend, he talked about, you know, that they have to find
• 30:42
  a way to be able to level the playing field a little bit.
• 30:46
  But you know, the rules are what they are right now.
• 30:49
  And if you've got the money to spend and and you know, the
• 30:51
  Dodgers haven't only done it by bringing in free agents.
• 30:54
  I mean, obviously they've brought in some pretty damn
• 30:57
  impressive ones, but you know, it's it's a credit to them with
• 31:02
  what they've done and being able to just kind of keep the machine
• 31:06
  going and being able to, you know, to tread the injury and
• 31:08
  that lineup is just ridiculous, man.
• 31:10
  And Errol, I heard you before, you know, before I came on
• 31:14
  talking about the Yankees and, you know, being down on them.
• 31:16
  And it's like, I mean, that's just think about the Dodgers
• 31:20
  almost made the Yankees look silly last October.
• 31:22
  And it's like, and the Yankees were really good punk club, man.
• 31:26
  But it's like the Dodgers are just so much better.
• 31:29
  It's like everybody else is a AAA team.
• 31:31
  So I mean, as a, as a fan of baseball, I hate it because I
• 31:37
  feel like, you know, you've given all the, you're given all
• 31:40
  the good players to one team, But you know, it's also, it's a
• 31:45
  spectacle to watch, man. I mean, occasionally I'll put on
• 31:48
  a Dodger game and you look at that lineup, who's, you know, of
• 31:51
  who's coming up, It's like boom, boom, boom, you know, Ohtani and
• 31:54
  Betts and Freeman. And it's just like with like,
• 31:56
  where's the weak spot, you know? Yeah, that there's, there's not
• 32:00
  much the weak Otani. It's in in the Jabba's beard.
• 32:03
  You know the the loop. No, this beard.
• 32:05
  There's no, there's no patches. There's no patches.
• 32:08
  It's the loop in his beard, ladies and gentlemen, he, as he
• 32:10
  said on the show in the beginning of the show, there it
• 32:12
  is. What?
• 32:13
  Why does he have to kiss me? I I don't get this.
• 32:17
  That doesn't even look like me. And why is my head like, you
• 32:20
  know, looks like my head's off the body?
• 32:22
  I mean, I like the hair. I I don't have a receded
• 32:25
  hairline either. What the hell is that all about?
• 32:29
  I don't know what that's all about.
• 32:31
  And I didn't, I didn't, I didn't see you at a Coldplay show.
• 32:33
  But but you know, maybe you guys, maybe you guys stayed off
• 32:35
  camera. What an idiot.
• 32:40
  That guy was spoiled. Boy, yeah, I mean, listen, I I
• 32:44
  got a lot of thoughts on that, but everybody, everybody shared
• 32:47
  a lot of thoughts on that. So I think it's time to move on.
• 32:49
  Let's turn the page. All right, all right, ticks
• 32:52
  scapes, tell us a little bit about.
• 32:53
  Your company. OK, so two years ago I came up
• 32:59
  with this idea and I've literally guys, I've been
• 33:02
  working on it like ridiculously and it's taken a long time, but
• 33:07
  we just officially put it into the market last week and it's
• 33:11
  Tixcape. TIXSCAPE.
• 33:13
  You can get it on Android, iOS app or on the web.
• 33:18
  By the way, if you're on Android, like wait 24 hours
• 33:22
  before you download it, unless you have a phone that's within
• 33:24
  the last two years. Because I found out the hard way
• 33:26
  that any phones that are any Android phones that are more
• 33:30
  than two years old are having some issues.
• 33:31
  And we're it will be straightened out in the next 24
• 33:34
  hours. But you can go ahead and use the
• 33:36
  web. But if you're on iOS, you're
• 33:37
  good to go. And basically, if you want to go
• 33:40
  to a Yankee game, you can go on ticks scape and like see all the
• 33:46
  tickets for the Yankee game, like all from all the, all the
• 33:51
  providers. I mean, we have we partnered
• 33:53
  with everybody. So Ticketmaster, StubHub,
• 33:55
  SeatGeek, Vivid seats, Ticketnetwork, ticket
• 33:58
  liquidator, we got 13 retailers that we partnered with.
• 34:01
  So you'll see the tickets from every retailer.
• 34:05
  And then you can on the app like click the price button and it
• 34:08
  will actually open up a, a window where you could go
• 34:13
  through and every single retailer, you can access their
• 34:16
  stuff without having to open a bunch of tabs and have to bounce
• 34:18
  around. All the tickets are bought on
• 34:20
  the official retailer's website or platform.
• 34:24
  So you're not, you're not giving us money, We're not taking any
• 34:28
  data. You can use this completely
• 34:30
  anonymously, completely free. You're going to save time,
• 34:33
  you're going to save money. But the other thing that the one
• 34:36
  feature that we have added in addition to kind of putting this
• 34:38
  all together, which is so think of it like Google Flights or
• 34:41
  Travelocity, right? But for tickets and we've got
• 34:43
  everything, we've got sports, concerts, theater.
• 34:46
  You want to go to a beer festival in your in your small
• 34:49
  town, We probably have that. We got, you know, like a million
• 34:52
  events on there. But the but the thing that we
• 34:57
  added that I really think is the thing that people are going to
• 35:00
  like the most is we've added a price alert.
• 35:03
  So some retailers will give you like you might get an app
• 35:06
  notification like, Hey, tickets prices are dropping.
• 35:09
  Whatever for an event that you looked at will actually let you
• 35:13
  set a price point. So say that, you know, I don't
• 35:16
  know, say you wanted to go see Coldplay and they're playing at
• 35:19
  you know, Giant Stadium and you're like, I'm not going to
• 35:22
  pay 800 bucks. Like I'd go but I'm not going to
• 35:24
  pay 800 bucks. Well, you could be like, you
• 35:26
  could set the price and say, okay, I'd be willing to pay 400
• 35:30
  and you put it in and, and if a ticket hits and the secondary
• 35:33
  markets like the stock market, man, it's going all over the
• 35:35
  place. So if a ticket hits 400, you'll
• 35:38
  get a notification right away with a link to buy it so you can
• 35:40
  get the ticket at the price that you want.
• 35:42
  So you know that's something that's not out there right now.
• 35:45
  Well. We need to talk off air because
• 35:49
  hey, we need to promote you. Maybe you'll be a sponsor of our
• 35:52
  show. We're doing great things right
• 35:54
  now on Blue Wire. So let's talk off air.
• 35:57
  I think we can really work together.
• 35:59
  How about this? Well and we've.
• 36:00
  Got we've got swag that we saw on order.
• 36:03
  It hasn't arrived yet, so I'll hook you guys up with some swag
• 36:07
  and you guys can can rock that on a future show.
• 36:10
  And yeah, let's yeah, let's make something happen.
• 36:13
  We will. I'm in.
• 36:18
  I got my I got my buddies bar on right now.
• 36:22
  And and, and please, guys, you know, check it out.
• 36:25
  You know, hit me up, man. Let me know what you think, like
• 36:27
  if we're kind of right now in the beta phase, right, because
• 36:30
  like, you know, I, I did put it out on my social, but we haven't
• 36:34
  really launched a real marketing campaign yet because we're still
• 36:36
  trying to find out where the ghosts are in the machine.
• 36:39
  But you know, it is right. It is ready to it, it is, it
• 36:42
  does work. Go out, you know, use it.
• 36:44
  Let me know what you think. Check it out.
• 36:46
  You know, if there's something you like you don't like, you
• 36:48
  know, let me know, man. But I, I, I, I'm really excited
• 36:52
  about this and you know, it's been a, and I'll tell you all
• 36:55
  fair the story of how I came up with the idea.
• 36:57
  I'm not ready to put that one out yet, but it's the hell of a
• 37:01
  story. I came up with the idea.
• 37:03
  Well, hopefully you weren't at Jabba's house or looking at the
• 37:07
  checking out the Lube that he was putting on his chinny chin
• 37:09
  chin. But we love you, Mr. Dave, and
• 37:13
  you do such a great job and you're one of the best.
• 37:16
  We really appreciate the time and we'll talk to you soon,
• 37:18
  buddy. All right, guys, I appreciate it
• 37:20
  man. Anytime and enjoy the rest of
• 37:22
  the Yankees run, man. I I'm hoping they're going to do
• 37:25
  a little bit better than you than you're feeling.
• 37:26
  Whatever you're they. Just blew it.
• 37:28
  Whatever you gave up A2, run Homer in the. 9th There you go.
• 37:31
  There you go. So whatever anybody or whatever
• 37:34
  Yankee fan is smoking, keep smoking it because they're not
• 37:38
  going anywhere anyways, yeah. Well, then we'll see.
• 37:41
  That's why they play the games. That's what somebody.
• 37:43
  Dave, we love you. Keep up the good work and I'll
• 37:45
  talk to you off air. We definitely should talk about
• 37:47
  that. Sounds good.
• 37:49
  All right, man. Hit me up.
• 37:51
  Dave Benz, ladies and gentlemen, fantastic as always, great
• 37:54
  personalities and the voice of pickleball.
• 37:57
  As we always said, man, what a day, what a what an interview.
• 38:02
  And we have another one that's coming up in just a few moments,
• 38:05
  we'll have Mr. Nelson Figueroa. Tom Brady in a recent newsletter
• 38:11
  questioned Scotty Scheffler's, oh, comments about wanting to be
• 38:18
  a better father then as a golfer.
• 38:21
  This came after Scheffler's comments after he won the
• 38:24
  British Open when he was deeply discussing his family's impact
• 38:30
  on his golfing career. Scheffler also referenced
• 38:33
  winning the Byron Nelson Championship, a small tournament
• 38:39
  that's near where he went to College in Texas, being just as
• 38:44
  valuable as winning a major. Brady questioned why being a
• 38:49
  father and a golfer are mutually exclusive and said his
• 38:55
  dedication to football for 23 years made him a better father.
• 39:01
  Brady also mentioned a similar experience after beating the
• 39:04
  Eagles in the Super Bowl in 2005, where he was wondering
• 39:09
  what else was there for him to prove to his life.
• 39:14
  Scheffler's. I'm sorry, I'm reading Speedy's
• 39:16
  ridiculous word. Scheffler has a has a son that
• 39:20
  is only 14 months old, and Brady mentioned that growing up with
• 39:25
  his father's life in golf will be good for him.
• 39:31
  I don't know why Tom Brady's even opening his mouth.
• 39:34
  I I really don't know why there's a conversation about
• 39:36
  this. I honestly think Tom Brady is a
• 39:40
  unique personality. I understand Tom Brady thinks
• 39:43
  that. Well, he could do.
• 39:45
  He could be a good father and good football player.
• 39:47
  Let me ask Tom Brady when he decided to retire and come back
• 39:52
  and he pissed off his wife, why is he not married still?
• 39:57
  He told his wife when he walked away from football he wasn't
• 40:00
  going back and then he decided to re sign with the Buccaneers
• 40:04
  and then his wife decides to sleep with his her his karate
• 40:08
  trainer and and now is remarried with him.
• 40:12
  Honestly Tom Brady talks about family and it's great.
• 40:15
  Tom Brady was a great football player.
• 40:17
  Tom Brady looks like he loves his son.
• 40:20
  As we've seen in his documentary, he likes to kiss
• 40:22
  his son on the lips. Tom Brady is a unique
• 40:25
  personality. He also owns a piece of the
• 40:28
  Raiders. I think you should really
• 40:30
  concentrate on his team and his broadcasting because he's not
• 40:37
  very good at broadcasting. And we'll see where the Raiders
• 40:40
  go. It seems like they got it right
• 40:42
  with Pete Carroll and and I don't know what Geno Smith's
• 40:44
  going to be over there in a Raiders uniform.
• 40:47
  We all know Vegas likes to have superstar DJs go and support
• 40:54
  their football teams as during the football games they're the
• 40:56
  only team that has live superstar DJs.
• 41:00
  They're putting on a concert. As we all know.
• 41:02
  Tiesta was there for the Super Bowl.
• 41:05
  I think honestly, Tom Brady and Scheffler, a very unique
• 41:09
  individual. Scheffler who comes out, he was
• 41:12
  on the he was in the new Happy Gilmore movie.
• 41:14
  He looked really, really good, has a good personality, made
• 41:17
  jokes about him getting arrested and getting arrested on the golf
• 41:20
  course, which is pretty funny. I think he has a good
• 41:23
  personality, but I don't think he loves the sport.
• 41:26
  That's what he's great. And when you're great and you're
• 41:29
  making money, that's great. It's good for his family.
• 41:32
  It's good for golf. Scheffler doesn't care about
• 41:34
  golf like he cares about his family.
• 41:37
  Tom Brady cared about football more than he cared about his
• 41:40
  family. Let's be honest.
• 41:42
  He retired and went back to play football because he liked the
• 41:45
  camaraderie. Golfing is a single man sport.
• 41:49
  There's no teamwork in golfing unless you're playing in the
• 41:51
  Ryder Cup. That's the truth.
• 41:54
  This guy is all about his family.
• 41:57
  Why are you taking shots at Scheffler?
• 41:59
  This guy's the best golfer in the world.
• 42:01
  He's been the best golfer in the world for the last three years.
• 42:04
  He's just speaking the facts. He wants to be closer to his
• 42:07
  family than the game of golf. Tiger Woods loved the game of
• 42:11
  golf and he loved sex and he loved pornos.
• 42:15
  So what did he do? He cheated on his wife and he
• 42:18
  did his things off the court and off the field.
• 42:21
  That's that's just the sport in the sporting world.
• 42:25
  You'll love something, you'll love your family.
• 42:27
  You're going to go for one or the other or you go for both.
• 42:30
  Tom Brady loves his kid or kids and he loved the game of
• 42:34
  football. I think he loved football more
• 42:36
  than than his children. I'm just speaking the truth.
• 42:38
  I don't know Tom Brady personally, but anybody retires
• 42:42
  and decides to walk away after he told his wife he was going to
• 42:46
  step away from the game and and move on in his career and then
• 42:50
  go back to the sport. He tells me that Tom Brady took
• 42:53
  the game over his family. That's all I'm saying here.
• 42:57
  Now again, I don't know Scotty Scheffler.
• 43:00
  I think he's got a unique personality.
• 43:02
  I think he's good for golf. I think I there's nobody
• 43:06
  challenging him in the game of golf.
• 43:07
  I mean, seriously, I don't watch golf as much you you would
• 43:11
  thought McElroy is one of those guys.
• 43:13
  But McElroy is an up and down golfer.
• 43:15
  There's there's nobody as good as Scotty Scheffler.
• 43:18
  So it's like when we Tiger Woods was great, it was always him and
• 43:23
  Mickelson, right? It was it was backup.
• 43:25
  Mickelson was never Tiger Woods. But when they played in big
• 43:30
  tournaments and they were head to head, there were two
• 43:32
  Americans fighting to win the British Open, fighting to win
• 43:35
  the US Open. I don't think there's anybody
• 43:38
  right now even in the same conversation as Scotty
• 43:42
  Scheffler. And I think that's why Scotty
• 43:44
  Scheffler was like, yeah, it's just golf.
• 43:46
  Who cares? I care more about my family.
• 43:49
  I care more about my kids and my wife and, and spending time with
• 43:53
  them. I don't know why Tom Brady is
• 43:55
  taking shots at him. And by the way, Tom, how good of
• 43:58
  a golfer are you? Can you could you actually get
• 44:01
  on a golf course with Scotty Scheffler, even compete with
• 44:03
  him? And you're you're I'm not Scotty
• 44:06
  Scheffler is not taking shots at you on what you did, deciding to
• 44:09
  walk away and then come back and then lose a life.
• 44:12
  No, but you didn't hear Scotty Scheffler attack you from that.
• 44:16
  So why are you attacking him? That's what I want to know.
• 44:19
  Tom Brady should not be opening his mouth.
• 44:22
  He should be concentrating for the football season, making his,
• 44:25
  what, $35 million a year? Sitting there and talking his
• 44:29
  rubbish. I mean, seriously, he's not Tony
• 44:31
  Romo homo or anything. Yeah.
• 44:34
  You may want to use that $35,000,000 to pay the dead cap
• 44:37
  you owe for getting rid of your. Stuff.
• 44:39
  Did you get what I said? Tony Romo Homo.
• 44:41
  That's what they call on me. I got that.
• 44:43
  I love Tony Romo, by the way. He's the best in the business.
• 44:46
  Now going on to this aspect of competitive nature too,
• 44:49
  obviously you see it more impassionate with with football
• 44:52
  because football you want to it's a hype sport.
• 44:54
  You want to get fired up. And obviously golf is thought it
• 44:56
  was more as a traditional sport. And I think Scheffler still has
• 44:58
  a good personality considering like compared to a lot of the
• 45:01
  other golfers, you're seeing it a little more with some of the
• 45:02
  younger ones, but again, you're not seeing it throughout the
• 45:05
  sport as much. So I don't know how really how
• 45:07
  Tom Brady differentiates the difference of, oh, he doesn't
• 45:09
  like golf because he's not showing that kind of passion.
• 45:12
  Like Tom Brady. Obviously you're seeing on the
• 45:14
  sideline throwing tablets and yelling at his teammates and
• 45:16
  stuff like that. Like everybody handles it
• 45:18
  differently in in every sport. So I don't know why how you
• 45:20
  could necessarily differentiate. Like you said, it's distracting
• 45:23
  from what you're trying to actually try to accomplish.
• 45:25
  Obviously they have a good, good enough relationship for him to
• 45:27
  like maybe jokingly say this kind of thing, but it's still
• 45:30
  enough of a criticism. That's still very weird.
• 45:32
  Now, Java, obviously you're knowing more about being a
• 45:34
  father, being and playing golf a lot more than I do to know that
• 45:37
  too. But like, at the same time,
• 45:38
  like, I don't know, like what, how do you judge, like, passion
• 45:41
  for golf, passion for football? I don't think Tom Brady can
• 45:44
  decipher that. No, I, you know what it's, it's
• 45:48
  one of those things where there's no right or wrong way to
• 45:52
  parent. There's no book on how to do it.
• 45:55
  And I don't, I don't like this. First of all, I think it's
• 45:59
  inappropriate as a one father to another to tell them what your
• 46:03
  opinion is. We all, we all parent different.
• 46:06
  You know, I jumped on a trampoline and and blasted my
• 46:09
  ankle in half. Curt Schilling told me I was a
• 46:11
  terrible dad for playing with my son.
• 46:13
  If I was playing wiffle ball and he hit me in the eye, am I still
• 46:15
  a terrible dad? Like so there there's no way in
• 46:19
  in the way he feels about his sport is completely different
• 46:22
  than the way. And it's just I I don't like it.
• 46:25
  It it really for me, it's it there's no place for it because
• 46:30
  really like you don't, you just don't like what he said and
• 46:34
  that's OK. You don't have to like what he
• 46:37
  said, like he just values certain things different than
• 46:39
  you do, and that's OK. But you can't, you can't bag on
• 46:43
  a dude and be like, oh, you can't play golf and be a dad.
• 46:47
  Like, relax, bro. Like, yes, you're a great
• 46:49
  football player, but when it comes to a dad that there's
• 46:52
  lines we don't cross. And as parents, you can do
• 46:55
  whatever you want, but don't, don't, don't talk like that.
• 46:58
  And you know, Scotty's not one of those dudes to to do this.
• 47:01
  But I remember I called Curt Schilling.
• 47:03
  I go tell me I'm a bad dad in my face for playing with my son.
• 47:06
  Tell me never called me back, never did anything.
• 47:08
  Put his tail between his legs and and went on.
• 47:11
  But he could jump his. Sock up it.
• 47:13
  Sounds worse than what Brady did.
• 47:15
  Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, literally I was like, hey,
• 47:17
  can I get his number? And I was like, hey, man, like
• 47:19
  he literally buried me on when he was on Sunday night baseball
• 47:22
  and and said he's a terrible dad for doing this.
• 47:25
  He risked his career. I'm like jumping on a trampoline
• 47:28
  with my son, like, and we were the only two people in there.
• 47:31
  It wasn't like it was packed. It was just me and my son.
• 47:33
  So yeah, it's when this came up. I'm just like, man, you've got
• 47:36
  to be absolutely kidding me. Like, first of all, what you
• 47:40
  like you said or why, why is he open his mouth first?
• 47:43
  Like it's a topic of a dad being a dad and him saying like, yeah,
• 47:48
  golf is great. My wife thanks me for going out
• 47:51
  and working hard and providing for our family.
• 47:53
  But it's not the end all that meets all.
• 47:55
  Like I love being a dad, like and and I won't even touch on
• 48:00
  what Tom did in his career and all the other stuff because that
• 48:03
  was his choice as a father. And it's it is not my right to
• 48:07
  say what is is good and bad for his family.
• 48:10
  And that's why I don't like it. Just keep your mouth shut when
• 48:12
  it comes to being a parent. If you don't like his golf game,
• 48:15
  say his swing sucks, whatever. Like, that's cool, but when it
• 48:18
  comes to to being a parent and how he feels about certain
• 48:21
  things, man, just shut up. Yeah, and, and he's the best
• 48:24
  golfer in the world. He's been the best golfer in the
• 48:26
  world. And and he wants to spend more
• 48:28
  time with his family than playing golf.
• 48:31
  Do you realize, like, how good Tiger Woods was?
• 48:33
  So the way Scotty Scheffler is going right now, and he's
• 48:37
  obviously great, for him to tie Tiger Woods, he'd have to stay
• 48:40
  #1 till 2035. Wow.
• 48:44
  To tie Tiger Woods? Damn.
• 48:46
  Yeah, and, and, and to me, Scheffler's been the most
• 48:49
  dominant American player since then.
• 48:51
  So it, it just says a lot about who he is.
• 48:54
  And he doesn't even love the game as much as Tiger Woods did.
• 48:57
  Or he didn't love the game like Brady loved the game of football
• 49:01
  because Brady. I don't care what Brady.
• 49:02
  Would say that's OK. I don't I don't care what Brady
• 49:05
  would say or and deny Brady loved football more than he
• 49:09
  loved his family. That's a fact.
• 49:11
  Anybody that says to his wife I'm never playing football
• 49:14
  again, I'm retiring and then a couple of weeks later saying I'm
• 49:18
  coming out of retirement after you promise your wife you're
• 49:20
  stepping away because you want to spend more time with your
• 49:23
  kids tells me football came first over his family.
• 49:28
  Greatness came first over his family.
• 49:31
  That's the fact. Scheffler doesn't believe that.
• 49:33
  I like that Scotty Scheffler said what he said and did it in
• 49:36
  a professional. Way, but he's he's never he's
• 49:39
  never shield away from that that point of view of what he said
• 49:43
  like he's he said that from like it's his faith and his family
• 49:46
  like that's what he said from day one like this isn't
• 49:48
  something new and and obviously Tom likes golf.
• 49:51
  He he's been on the match, he's done all this other stuff.
• 49:53
  So unless he's just a front and doesn't really like golf and
• 49:56
  just does it for whatever, but he's obviously watched golf and
• 49:59
  seen it. He knows who Scotty Scheffler
• 50:01
  is. It's not like this came out of
• 50:03
  the blue and he just threw something to the wind.
• 50:05
  Like no, I don't care. Like no, he said.
• 50:07
  He said that from jump street, like faith and family is like my
• 50:11
  2 most important things. Yeah, I play golf and I'm good
• 50:13
  at it and I work hard. But really at the end of the
• 50:15
  day, it's it's really not what it's about for me.
• 50:19
  And I respect the heck out of him for standing on his on his
• 50:22
  laurels and be like, hey, if you don't like it, you don't like
• 50:24
  it. But that's just who I am.
• 50:26
  You know fish, I know you. You want me to go into inside
• 50:28
  baseball, but I I want to do my dildo of the day.
• 50:31
  Can I do that? I told you, you're going to love
• 50:34
  this story. I told you.
• 50:36
  I did. I read the story when we went to
• 50:38
  your sports Minute. So let's do it, my dildo of the
• 50:41
  day. The deuce of the day you log not
• 50:45
  a log. I don't have a log but.
• 50:47
  You know. This has got to be one of the
• 50:55
  craziest stories I read and that's why I have to I have to
• 51:00
  mention it. With less than a minute left of
• 51:02
  the WNBA game in Golden State and Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, a
• 51:08
  lime green object flew onto the court during the play.
• 51:13
  Yes, stopping play with 52 seconds left of the game.
• 51:17
  Police officer inspected it as he picked it up and removed it.
• 51:22
  Nobody's picking up this object yet.
• 51:25
  Oh my gosh, one of the TV announcers said, and it dawned
• 51:30
  to him what it was. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the
• 51:33
  object was thrown from the stands, bouncing near the free
• 51:37
  throw line of the Golden State end of the court where the
• 51:42
  action was at the time. It then bounced to the sidelines
• 51:48
  near the mid court. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it
• 51:52
  was the one and only dildo. Now here's the question that
• 51:58
  everybody has now, and this is a question that a lot of people
• 52:01
  have first, how do you smuggle a dildo at a WNBA game?
• 52:08
  And the answer would be I have. No.
• 52:12
  Idea now, if if we've heard this many, many times, they they
• 52:18
  check you for guns, they check you for metal weapons.
• 52:20
  This thing is a rubber weapon. Now what you use it for, well, I
• 52:25
  don't know. I'm not using it and I'm sure
• 52:28
  one of these girls might I, I mean it.
• 52:30
  But nevertheless, the fact is this is disrespectful.
• 52:35
  Anybody that brings something of this magnitude, this rubber
• 52:40
  thing on a into a basketball game and throws it on the court
• 52:45
  is, is disrespectful to the women playing on it.
• 52:48
  And to me, the WNBA need to figure out on how somebody
• 52:55
  brought this in or an arena and disrespected the game.
• 52:59
  And then I know you laugh at it. I know it's something funny, but
• 53:02
  to me, it just disrespects the game.
• 53:05
  It disrespects what they're trying to do for the game.
• 53:08
  People are making jokes about it.
• 53:09
  I, I read, I read something on Stephen A Smith's show.
• 53:13
  I'm not going to mention the name.
• 53:14
  He made a joke about it and one of the guys made a joke about
• 53:17
  it. I, I don't think this is funny.
• 53:19
  I think it's disrespectful. So I think that the WNBA needs
• 53:23
  to investigate this, find out who threw it and and and make
• 53:28
  sure that this person could never or should never go to a
• 53:32
  WNBA game again. That's my opinion.
• 53:35
  And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my deuce of the day.
• 53:40
  I I just I don't get it. Unbelievable story.
• 53:43
  I don't get it. I think unbelievable.
• 53:44
  I I want to laugh at it. It's it's it's a completely
• 53:47
  disgusting story. If you think about it.
• 53:50
  If it was a man's game, it was an NBA game and somebody threw
• 53:53
  it out, I'd be like, who the hell is bringing a dildo doing
• 53:56
  an NBA basketball an ELB? I'm sorry LJ again, but maybe
• 54:01
  it's LeBron James. I'll tell you guys a funny
• 54:03
  story. You didn't bring up your name.
• 54:04
  Today I want to tell you guys. Sounds like a Dennis Rodman.
• 54:06
  I will tell you guys a quick funny story now, me and my
• 54:09
  friend, I, I don't know if you guys know Eric Martini and my
• 54:12
  and, and and I have a friend named Nate.
• 54:14
  We're very good friends. And when LeBron James came into
• 54:17
  the league, LeBron James was like doing all these crazy
• 54:20
  things, owning everything, sneakers, snow shorts, all this
• 54:24
  other stuff. So I played a practical joke on
• 54:27
  one of my friends, actually both of my friends, I took a dildo, a
• 54:31
  rubber dildo, and I put LeBron James symbol on the dildo and I
• 54:37
  sent it to both of my friends. And I said, look, LeBron James
• 54:40
  is getting involved in sex toys. And both my friends actually
• 54:46
  believed that LeBron James was really getting into the sex toy
• 54:50
  industry. And both of them said I was sick
• 54:53
  and where'd you get this? And then I, I showed him the
• 54:55
  picture. I, I made it.
• 54:56
  So funny story is my friends tell me I'm a pervert and that I
• 55:01
  should keep my comments and my craziness to myself.
• 55:04
  So that's a true story. And I, I, I threw LeBron James
• 55:07
  or the LJA under the bus and I put the Nike sound on Nike sign
• 55:11
  on on the balls. So it was pretty funny.
• 55:13
  You need to. Tell Brian Snow that star.
• 55:16
  I'm sure he'd love that for his broad sexual.
• 55:17
  I would probably think that he would think that it was a
• 55:21
  permit. Anyways, we call this next
• 55:24
  segment segment inside Baseball. Now let's go deep, deep inside.
• 55:28
  What I am excited. This is inside baseball.
• 55:33
  Jabba likes my shrimp cocktail. That's one of my favorite ones,
• 55:38
  the shrimp cocktail one. I love Lisa.
• 55:41
  Inside baseball got a few stories.
• 55:43
  We're going to kind of what lightning round around them, but
• 55:46
  we'll stay here a little bit because truly sad story.
• 55:49
  We saw a couple of weeks ago that Ryan Sandberg was fighting
• 55:51
  cancer, said he was going to keep the fight.
• 55:54
  He passed away yesterday, 65 years old.
• 56:00
  Hall of Fame second baseman, played until 1997.
• 56:03
  I'm old enough to remember him, you know, in his last couple of
• 56:05
  years playing when I was watching, I think I mean, I
• 56:09
  started watching around that that strike season with the
• 56:12
  Yankees and the Expos were top. So I have a lot of fond memories
• 56:16
  of like those All Star games. Sandberg just a legend.
• 56:19
  Even then, ten time All Star guys.
• 56:23
  Let's talk about Rhino. I don't know him.
• 56:25
  Joppa probably knows him better than anybody, I'm sure.
• 56:28
  No, he's never met him. I'll tell you this, Ryan
• 56:31
  Sandberg was one of the best infield defensive players of the
• 56:36
  early 80s into the early 90s. He, this guy was as talented
• 56:41
  defensively than we've ever seen and had a great bat, tremendous
• 56:45
  bat, a career 280 hit. I don't even have it in front of
• 56:48
  my, I don't even have the numbers in front of me.
• 56:50
  But I know how talented he was. I, I mean, controversial things,
• 56:54
  he said over the years on and off the field.
• 56:57
  But the guy was a great leader. He was the face of the Chicago
• 57:00
  Cubs for almost 14 years. Sensational player.
• 57:04
  Sensational. Yeah, you look at the guy that
• 57:06
  like after Ernie Banks in those 60s teams with the Cubs, they
• 57:09
  kind of transition into the 80s and he was that focal point of
• 57:12
  that team. So like you said, one of the
• 57:13
  best defensive second basement, one of the better power hitting
• 57:15
  second basement for that era too, which they weren't really
• 57:17
  coming by until probably the 90s.
• 57:20
  So he definitely will be missed. He was a fighter for a long
• 57:22
  time. It's he will be missed.
• 57:24
  Rest in peace and condolences to his family as well.
• 57:27
  Yeah, I know he was. It was fun because, you know, we
• 57:29
  obviously being in the Midwest, we got WGN, so we got to watch
• 57:32
  him a little bit more than more than most.
• 57:35
  We had to struggle with the White Sox there too.
• 57:37
  But, but yeah, no, it was, it was fine.
• 57:41
  Never met him. Heard great stories from guys
• 57:44
  that played with him and against him and, you know, just it's
• 57:48
  we're, we're losing these guys too early, man.
• 57:50
  And it's, you know, it's sad to see.
• 57:52
  And, you know, it's just, you look and, you know, we just had
• 57:56
  the the Hall of Fame introduction and then we just
• 57:59
  lose 1. And so it's just tough to see.
• 58:03
  And thoughts and prayers to his family and, you know, just keep
• 58:06
  losing the fraternity of of men that played this game, that
• 58:09
  paved the way for all these these young men and kids that
• 58:12
  are that are looking up to guys. And he definitely played the
• 58:15
  game hard in the right way. And it's, it's a tough.
• 58:18
  One, he played on really bad cups teams too.
• 58:21
  Rough. Really, really bad Cups teams.
• 58:25
  I remember Andre Dawson. I remember when he played with
• 58:28
  Andre Dawson. Yeah, those were the 2 best
• 58:30
  players on a team and you can argue both guys wanted out, but
• 58:34
  the Ryan Sandberg stayed there practically his whole career.
• 58:37
  Hey, and then his his up the middle mate Sean Dunstan was
• 58:41
  kind of the one that first to have the flashy chains and
• 58:43
  stuff. Yeah, I just think Ryan
• 58:46
  Sandberg, the loss of Ryan Sandberg just says, says one
• 58:50
  thing about baseball. Baseball is a game that you you,
• 58:55
  you want to play for a significant amount of time and,
• 58:58
  and you do as long as Ryan Sandberg and do it as well as
• 59:00
  Sandberg and you just hope that you have the career of Ryan
• 59:04
  Sandberg so. You know, Sandberg I, when I was
• 59:07
  doing the research for this, you know, he was a throw in, in a
• 59:11
  trade between the Phillies and the Cubs.
• 59:13
  Yeah, he could have been the face of the Phillies.
• 59:15
  He could have been the face of the Phillies.
• 59:17
  He was a throw in the trade along with a former Phillies
• 59:21
  coach, Larry Boa. Larry Boa, he was he was a
• 59:25
  shortstop, right? And Bo was a shortstop.
• 59:28
  They thought he was going to play third, as we know came
• 59:30
  second baseman. Boa wasn't, let's just say, the
• 59:33
  main guy in that deal after all. So when we think about the trade
• 59:36
  deadline days like this, but the throw insurance in the deal,
• 59:39
  sometimes those throw insurance turn out to be Hall of Famers.
• 59:41
  Get the turb right, it's the players to be named later.
• 59:45
  Players to be named later. Contract to be.
• 59:47
  Like Jabba says, you don't know what a prospect is going to turn
• 59:50
  out to be. You never know what we know
• 59:54
  about Juan Soto, and Juan Soto makes a lot of money, boys.
• 59:57
  But I think there are some umpires that might not like Juan
• 1:00:02
  Soto, including this guy Emil Jimenez.
• 1:00:04
  I don't know if you watched the game yesterday, but Juan Soto.
• 1:00:08
  First off, Mendoza got ran because Juan Soto, let's just
• 1:00:12
  say you're not supposed to argue, called balls and strikes,
• 1:00:16
  but it wasn't even close. There was one that went good
• 1:00:19
  foot outside, second one that was wide and Soto.
• 1:00:24
  You could say a lot about Soto. He definitely has one of the
• 1:00:27
  best batting eyes in the league. He has the best step bats.
• 1:00:30
  If he's arguing, that means there's something to argue about
• 1:00:34
  if you go later in the game. I got to play this clip for you
• 1:00:36
  guys. Before we talk about it, here's
• 1:00:38
  the reaction. You're going to see the this.
• 1:00:40
  I'm staring down. There's the first one, not even
• 1:00:42
  close. Hatcher has to reach all the way
• 1:00:44
  out to the side to get it. That one's a little closer.
• 1:00:48
  Soto's not happy. This is where Mendoza's going to
• 1:00:51
  get run. There's one more, though, that's
• 1:00:53
  just unbelievable. Look at that one.
• 1:00:56
  He waits, rings him up, stares him down, daring him to get
• 1:01:04
  himself run. I've played with a bunch, you
• 1:01:07
  know, just at youth sports. I mean, we get some of the
• 1:01:10
  absolute worst officials in youth sports because we can't
• 1:01:12
  get anybody. So you just have to deal with
• 1:01:14
  it. I always just tell my guys,
• 1:01:16
  don't, don't worry about the zebras.
• 1:01:18
  Just control what you can control the next play, right?
• 1:01:21
  But I would be pretty upset if I was Juan Soto in the Mets and I
• 1:01:25
  was getting treated like this. It was clearly intentional,
• 1:01:28
  wasn't it? Here's the thing.
• 1:01:30
  And I know everybody's going to sit there and say, I'm going to
• 1:01:32
  take shots at Juan Soto. I think Juan Soto is a great
• 1:01:36
  player and he has one of the best eyes in baseball.
• 1:01:39
  But when Juan Soto comes out and says the things that he says
• 1:01:42
  over the last couple of weeks about money this and money that,
• 1:01:46
  these these umpires are going to listen and they're not going to
• 1:01:49
  like it. There are a lot of players over
• 1:01:51
  the years. Did anybody like Alex Rodriguez?
• 1:01:53
  How many times did we see Alex Rodriguez get called out on
• 1:01:56
  strikes and it wasn't even close to the strike zone?
• 1:01:59
  And then Derek Jeter would go up and get pitched the same way
• 1:02:02
  and, and walk to first base. If you open your mouth and you
• 1:02:06
  say things, it comes back and it haunts you.
• 1:02:09
  Sometimes you just got to shut your mouth and just play the
• 1:02:11
  damn game. I think Juan Soto, he likes to
• 1:02:13
  dance in prance. Remember what he did with the
• 1:02:15
  Yankees? He was in the, it was in the
• 1:02:18
  ALCS against Cleveland doing what he was doing and winking
• 1:02:22
  and, and all that stuff at the plate.
• 1:02:24
  And then he hits a home run, a bomb and and takes the Yankees
• 1:02:27
  all the way to the World Series. People don't like that.
• 1:02:30
  Did anybody like Bryce Harper when he threw the bat?
• 1:02:32
  How many times do we see people complain about Bryce Harper's
• 1:02:35
  antics at the plate? When you do things like that,
• 1:02:38
  umpires remember it. I'm not saying it was right, but
• 1:02:41
  maybe Juan Soto needs to learn his lesson.
• 1:02:45
  That's what I'm going to. Say, you're always going to get
• 1:02:46
  that more with modern players anyway, with the personalities,
• 1:02:49
  the eccentricness. Now, obviously people were
• 1:02:50
  calling Juan Soto boring for the first month of the season.
• 1:02:53
  Then all of a sudden. He's job, but what are you
• 1:02:54
  flexing? Getting that personality going.
• 1:02:56
  But again, this is a case where like you.
• 1:02:59
  Were saying I'm stressing. Like you were saying, Fish, this
• 1:03:01
  is a guy has had the best on base percentage in baseball
• 1:03:05
  since he's come into the league too.
• 1:03:06
  So it's tough to argue with the one in the three pitches there
• 1:03:09
  that those goals were definitely balls.
• 1:03:11
  You could tell the catcher was really trying hard to frame
• 1:03:13
  those ones. It just, it bugs me too.
• 1:03:17
  Like I, I get they're not going to be perfect.
• 1:03:21
  Obviously there's only been a few perfect games spelled.
• 1:03:23
  But like when you just stare at them, you're just asking like an
• 1:03:27
  umpire's egos are sometimes, if not most of the time, bigger
• 1:03:32
  than the players because they don't, they don't, they don't
• 1:03:34
  have to be held accountable. They could suck and still have
• 1:03:36
  their job. Like they don't really truly,
• 1:03:39
  genuinely care. Some do.
• 1:03:41
  I'm not saying all, I'm not saying all, but some just like
• 1:03:44
  I'm here for a paycheck. You can't fire me if I, if I'm
• 1:03:47
  terrible, I don't have to answer any of your questions anyway, so
• 1:03:50
  who cares? But when you sit there and just
• 1:03:52
  stare at me, you're just asking me to say something like, why
• 1:03:56
  are you staring at me? Like grow up, like I can ask you
• 1:04:01
  to let, hey, would you, would you go look at that?
• 1:04:03
  Because they all get disked after the game of their calls.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah. But you know, they're not
• 1:04:08
  studying film. They're not going to look at it
• 1:04:11
  because they don't have to, because their job is safe unless
• 1:04:15
  they do something crazy, bet on baseball, get caught with a drug
• 1:04:20
  test. Like you really have to do
• 1:04:22
  something to to get out of that union.
• 1:04:24
  And they'll protect you because that's just what they do.
• 1:04:27
  So does a. Crybaby Jabba.
• 1:04:29
  He's a crybaby. I but I don't care.
• 1:04:31
  Those are balls, Yeah. That's fine, shut your mouth.
• 1:04:35
  Why they're balls? All right, they're balls.
• 1:04:38
  I got balls in my pants. What does that matter?
• 1:04:40
  That has nothing to do with what we're talking.
• 1:04:42
  About obviously doesn't, but if Juan Soda is going to go out
• 1:04:45
  there and open his damn mouth as he's done over and over and over
• 1:04:49
  again. I've seen one sort of attack.
• 1:04:51
  Why? Why punish?
• 1:04:53
  Why that's you're punishing me because you don't like him as a
• 1:04:56
  person called the game the way the game should be called.
• 1:04:59
  That's why we have umpires. That's why they're trying to
• 1:05:01
  bring in, what do they call it, Electric.
• 1:05:03
  Yeah, yeah, that's what they're trying to do.
• 1:05:06
  And a. Little bit of tap in the head
• 1:05:07
  and it would have been all figured out, right?
• 1:05:10
  Yeah, I mean, I just you, you don't have to like me.
• 1:05:14
  That's exactly the same thing as all these, like, votes.
• 1:05:16
  And you, you even said it. Like when do you take away from
• 1:05:19
  the riders or whatever, you're going to take it away from the
• 1:05:22
  umpires? Like, yeah, if and, and even
• 1:05:25
  Jake said this when we interviewed him on Monday.
• 1:05:27
  If you rub the media guy the wrong way, he's not voting for
• 1:05:30
  you. It doesn't matter whether you
• 1:05:32
  deserve it or not. That's just a human element.
• 1:05:36
  You just answered your question. I think that's probably it.
• 1:05:40
  You know, it's a lot. Sometimes it's.
• 1:05:41
  He rubbed them the wrong. Way how you say it.
• 1:05:43
  Like a genie in a bottle, baby. Let's go through some of the
• 1:05:47
  injuries quickly. So Acuna apparently was playing
• 1:05:52
  through a calf injury and guess what happened?
• 1:05:54
  I don't know if he was wearing Nikes Errol but I do know.
• 1:05:57
  My pinky is bigger. Than yours they haven't said
• 1:06:00
  anything definitive, they just saying a strain.
• 1:06:03
  They haven't got jumped to like it's torn or anything like that.
• 1:06:06
  But Ronald Cunha Junior is going to be out for a little while.
• 1:06:09
  Byron Buxton having the best year he's had.
• 1:06:11
  But the old Buxton, IL trip as finally happened.
• 1:06:16
  Ribs for him and Cheerio was legging out a triple, pulled up
• 1:06:20
  his hamstring. He's going to be OK.
• 1:06:21
  It looks like Ian Hap had another thing with his foot.
• 1:06:24
  They didn't think he was going to play.
• 1:06:25
  Hit a home run today. So not a lot of injuries that's
• 1:06:28
  up there. And the one guy that I want to
• 1:06:30
  talk about coming back is Louise Heel.
• 1:06:32
  Louise Heel returns on Sunday, last year's rookie of the year
• 1:06:35
  for the American League. Louise Heel as we come back to
• 1:06:39
  the Yankees rotation that desperately needs shot in the.
• 1:06:42
  Eye I will say this about Acuna. That was the one that really
• 1:06:44
  stuck out to me. Acuna was having a sensational
• 1:06:46
  year. He's coming back from a bad
• 1:06:48
  injury and then he goes down again.
• 1:06:50
  He'll never be healthy. That's the problem with Ronald
• 1:06:52
  Acuna. This guy is one of the best 5
• 1:06:54
  tool players we've ever seen and the Braves have ever had.
• 1:06:58
  Just think about this and every time this guy is starting to
• 1:07:02
  play well and show he's back, he goes down again.
• 1:07:06
  And I think this is more significant than they're saying
• 1:07:08
  it is. They just want to cover it up To
• 1:07:11
  me. I just feel bad for the kid.
• 1:07:12
  He's he's a great baseball player.
• 1:07:14
  I don't know if he'll ever become the player that we
• 1:07:17
  thought he was going to become because he can't stay healthy as
• 1:07:20
  far. As Byron Buxton too, yeah.
• 1:07:22
  Buxton, too, is another one. #1 Prospect of baseball.
• 1:07:24
  Yeah, but I think Acuna is a guy that I just, I'm just like
• 1:07:27
  shocked he's hurt again. I just, I hearing a surge,
• 1:07:31
  hearing a guy that just had surgery, major surgery and said
• 1:07:34
  that he's never going to be a 512 player.
• 1:07:36
  We don't even know if he's going to be the same outfielder and
• 1:07:39
  then he comes back and he's playing as well as he is.
• 1:07:41
  It's pretty fun to watch. And now we're watching.
• 1:07:44
  And the Braves are not a good team right now.
• 1:07:46
  They're just not playing well. But you get a chance to watch
• 1:07:48
  Ronald Lacuna every single day. What are you watching now?
• 1:07:51
  What are you getting? What are you looking forward to
• 1:07:54
  watching when it comes to the Atlanta Braves?
• 1:07:55
  Yeah, we were talking about it with Josh Towers a few weeks
• 1:07:58
  ago. He was saying, oh, the entire
• 1:07:59
  Dodgers training staff needs to be fired.
• 1:08:01
  The Braves might be doing that too with we're talking about the
• 1:08:03
  pitching injuries on Monday, Java.
• 1:08:05
  And then now all of a sudden this you, you the number one
• 1:08:07
  thing you have to realize is you're coming back from a guy
• 1:08:09
  that had multiple leg injuries and then you're still doing
• 1:08:12
  still doing a lot of the same things.
• 1:08:13
  But something's got to happen if they want to keep their
• 1:08:15
  franchise player happy. Well, boys, look, it's going to
• 1:08:21
  be pretty tough. I will say this and I want to
• 1:08:24
  say something about Luis Heel. I love it.
• 1:08:26
  I'm happy for him. Can't wait to see the kid come
• 1:08:28
  back. He's going to add a little bit
• 1:08:30
  more spunk to that rotation. The only thing is the season to
• 1:08:35
  me is over for the Yankees. Him coming back right now, it's
• 1:08:39
  just a mistake. We don't want to see him go
• 1:08:41
  down. We want to see him ready for
• 1:08:42
  next year. I would just sit him out for the
• 1:08:44
  rest of the season. I, I, I know everybody's going
• 1:08:47
  to say the season's not over. I mean, I had Keith attacked me
• 1:08:51
  on and off air telling me, you know how what you're talking
• 1:08:53
  about. They still have a chance to make
• 1:08:55
  a run. Fine, Yankee fans, you want to
• 1:08:58
  believe they have a chance to make a run.
• 1:09:00
  I, I'm sorry, I just don't think they're good enough.
• 1:09:02
  But I, I'm, I'm looking forward to seeing what Luisio adds to
• 1:09:05
  that rotation. They need it.
• 1:09:07
  Losing Clark Schmidt again for the rest of the season.
• 1:09:11
  It really just, it just makes you shake your head.
• 1:09:13
  And again, I just want to see Luis.
• 1:09:16
  He'll come back slowly. I don't want to see the Yankees
• 1:09:19
  kind of drag him and then put him in a bad position and where
• 1:09:22
  he gets hurt again. And he's out a significant
• 1:09:25
  amount of time next year. But it's a great story.
• 1:09:27
  I'm looking forward to seeing the kid on the mountain.
• 1:09:31
  All right, boys, let's move on to the last story for INSIDE
• 1:09:34
  Baseball. I don't know if you saw this.
• 1:09:36
  So we had some dugouts being emptied not that long ago.
• 1:09:40
  We had a bench is clear in Texas.
• 1:09:44
  I believe they were in Texas. Mike Trout was hit by a pitch.
• 1:09:49
  Corey Seeger was hit by a pitch. Youngster Zach Neato is one of
• 1:09:53
  the better young shortstops in the game for the Angels.
• 1:09:56
  Probably their best young player was also hit.
• 1:10:00
  Luis Renfigo, Rengifo, everyone was getting hit, so there was
• 1:10:05
  one. They loaded the bases on
• 1:10:06
  back-to-back pitches, clearly didn't have control.
• 1:10:10
  The Texas pitcher and then the Angels, who have an interim
• 1:10:13
  manager named Ray Montgomery. Ludu.
• 1:10:16
  They seem to tell his guys to go after him.
• 1:10:19
  We haven't really seen a lot of that in recent years and
• 1:10:21
  obviously Texas is a Bruce Bocchi coach.
• 1:10:25
  Team in Texas is pretty hot. They're only a few games out of
• 1:10:28
  wild card contention. I told you about Texas, by the
• 1:10:32
  way, and if they sneak into the playoffs, watch out Bruce Pochi,
• 1:10:36
  they got a tremendous lineup. And by the way, they have two
• 1:10:40
  sensational pitchers that can pitch.
• 1:10:43
  So I, I'm telling you right now, watch out for Texas and the
• 1:10:47
  lineup is, is deadly. That infield, Corey Seeker, if
• 1:10:50
  he's healthy, I mean, he can hit right handers, left handers.
• 1:10:53
  They got a tremendous amount of talent.
• 1:10:55
  I can see Texas again, the American League, there's a lot
• 1:10:58
  of questions with the American League.
• 1:10:59
  Detroit's up and he's down. They're down.
• 1:11:01
  Since the All Star break, the Blue Jays have been the hottest
• 1:11:04
  team right now in the American League.
• 1:11:06
  But are they going to be able to sustain that?
• 1:11:08
  And I don't know if I trust the Blue Jays pitching staff more
• 1:11:12
  than I trust the Texas Rangers pitching staff, especially with
• 1:11:15
  Jacob degrom and the one and only Speedy.
• 1:11:19
  Jacob degrom. Yeah.
• 1:11:21
  Yes, that's right. But you know the other pitcher?
• 1:11:23
  Who's the other pitcher? Play for the Yankees.
• 1:11:26
  Play for the Red Sox. Oh, Nathan Devaldi there.
• 1:11:28
  You go. I'm trying to I lead him to what
• 1:11:31
  the where the hell is this kid? Is he lost in translation?
• 1:11:35
  His brains in another world? He's in speedy world, OK.
• 1:11:39
  Evaldi Evaldi's a different dude in the playoffs, too.
• 1:11:42
  He's sensational. Oh my God.
• 1:11:44
  Hey, but did you see that fight? I don't know if I saw it, but
• 1:11:47
  did Boch was going hammer time. Yes, and Boch don't move fast.
• 1:11:52
  But there was some assertiveness in that, in that little, that
• 1:11:55
  little hitch in his giddy up. And he, he was going in and he
• 1:11:58
  was right in the business. I would love, I would love to
• 1:12:02
  play for him. I I love guys like that.
• 1:12:04
  I mean, old school. Has a great feel for the game,
• 1:12:07
  protects his players, stands up for his players.
• 1:12:10
  Has a gigantic Dome. Yeah, I think it's huge.
• 1:12:16
  It's like an 8 and an eighth or something.
• 1:12:18
  It's monstrous. Hammer time.
• 1:12:20
  I mean, there's a couple of good drops in this one.
• 1:12:22
  Good night. But yeah, it's and and crazy.
• 1:12:27
  You know, it's it. I don't know if that inner
• 1:12:30
  manager is trying to spark things up whatever, but when
• 1:12:33
  you're going to get boat, you think Boche is going to back
• 1:12:35
  down. No, he's going to he's going to
• 1:12:36
  top step you and and get his his hitch in a giddy up and he he's
• 1:12:40
  going to come back. That's a good one.
• 1:12:42
  Breaking news. Do you want to jerk me off?
• 1:12:45
  But yeah, it's, it's a, it's a baseball scuffle.
• 1:12:50
  Nothing crazy. I, by the way, I love Bruce
• 1:12:54
  Boche. I love.
• 1:12:55
  It Hall of Fame. Best manager, best manager in
• 1:12:58
  baseball, I don't think you can argue that.
• 1:13:00
  I mean, you could argue Terry Francona.
• 1:13:02
  I think he's the closest thing to Bruce Bochy, but Bruce Bochy
• 1:13:06
  is unbelievable. And if you see, he's the only
• 1:13:09
  Major League coach in Major League history to take not one,
• 1:13:12
  not 2, but three different teams to a World Series.
• 1:13:16
  So that's that's an amazing stat.
• 1:13:18
  And and by the way, won multiple World Series too.
• 1:13:22
  So I, I, you can't argue this guy's as great as anybody we've
• 1:13:26
  seen in the game. So great story and I and I'm
• 1:13:29
  looking to see if Texas can make the run.
• 1:13:31
  If Texas makes a run and they make the playoffs.
• 1:13:34
  I don't think anybody wants to play the Texas Rangers in a wild
• 1:13:37
  card game. So just my opinion there.
• 1:13:40
  And if they win the division, even more scarier.
• 1:13:43
  All right, Speedy, are we, are we going to go through the let's
• 1:13:45
  parlay picks? Sure, Yes, Weston sends the
• 1:13:48
  picks. CFL picks he's got for this
• 1:13:52
  week. Toronto covering the plus 6 1/2
• 1:13:55
  point spread. Toronto on the road against. 79%
• 1:14:01
  this year, yeah. 79%, yes. He's CFL picks.
• 1:14:05
  So he's got Saskatchewan covering on the road against
• 1:14:08
  Winnipeg, the Blue Bombers, He's got Calgary covering plus 3 1/2
• 1:14:12
  against the Ottawa Red Blacks on the road, and then Hamilton home
• 1:14:16
  favorites. He's got them winning outright
• 1:14:18
  -3 1/2 against Edmonton and then Saskatchewan against Montreal at
• 1:14:22
  home at -3 1/2. It's interesting and I will say
• 1:14:25
  this for all you fans out there that hasn't tuned in and hasn't
• 1:14:29
  taken anything Wes has said for the CFL, and I know Carl thinks
• 1:14:34
  it's absolutely bogus. If you're a betting man or woman
• 1:14:38
  and you want to make money, you should be listening to Wes's
• 1:14:41
  picks. I think they're sensational. 79%
• 1:14:45
  all season long. Just think about that. 79 And by
• 1:14:49
  the way, Fish has been taking some bets on the one and only W
• 1:14:53
  picks so and he's made a couple of bucks.
• 1:14:56
  Wes is killing it right now. He's making a ton of money and
• 1:14:59
  he's doing so many things right now off air that I'm not going
• 1:15:02
  to mention because he doesn't want me to throw him under the
• 1:15:04
  bus he's doing the right thing as we always say thank you to
