Speaker 1: I'd be so our lead. This hour is from the
1:58
Speaker 1: Lebron File, not to be confused with some other kind
2:02
Speaker 1: of files. But no, this is all about Lebron, and
2:05
Speaker 1: we are contractually obligated, as it turns out, for an
2:09
Speaker 1: obligatory Malard monologue, much to the approval of Eugene in Chicago,
2:14
Speaker 1: who is anticipating this spicy margarita edition of a Malard
2:21
Speaker 1: monologue on Lebron, James and his life in times. Here's
2:26
Speaker 1: some new developments over the weekend. New developments, new developments,
2:29
Speaker 1: new developments. While we were away from the watchtower guarding
2:32
Speaker 1: the overnight graveyard of sports takes, there were some new
2:36
Speaker 1: things that took place here. So if you didn't follow along,
2:39
Speaker 1: don't worry. That's what we're here for. We got your back.
2:42
Speaker 1: We kept tabs on what was going on so you
2:44
Speaker 1: would not have to so chatter over the weekend, little
2:48
Speaker 1: chit chat over the weekend that indicated that there are
2:53
Speaker 1: a four pack, four pack of teams that are attempting
2:59
Speaker 1: to acqui Lebron James. No, those teams are in no
3:04
Speaker 1: formal order, the Dallas mav Rex, the Golden State Warriors,
3:11
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cadavers, and the Clippers supposedly, so that story
3:17
Speaker 1: came out though those teams have emerged as possible suitors
3:20
Speaker 1: for Lebron James. That happened over the weekend. Now, those
3:22
Speaker 1: four teams, if you believe the chatter, if you believe
3:26
Speaker 1: the Internet chatter, those four teams contacted Lebron's conciliary right
3:32
Speaker 1: his Boddy there, Rich Paul, who is the If you
3:35
Speaker 1: want to talk to the mob boss, you got to
3:37
Speaker 1: go through the consigli area and that would be Rich Paul.
3:40
Speaker 1: And that is where we are right now. So let
3:43
Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the panel, the blue Ribbon panel.
3:49
Speaker 1: Where are you at on the Fearsome Fursome Pursuingbron James.
3:56
Speaker 1: All right, so I've got Vintage Cookie Jar, Dali Lama
4:00
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia Original and we will combine all of these
4:04
Speaker 1: things together and we are gonna make the Gobaul. We're
4:07
Speaker 1: gonna make the Gobba goal for our friend in Florida.
4:10
Speaker 1: So number I said, number right. Yes, Now we provide
4:16
Speaker 1: a skeptical eye for the regular guy. Now I even
4:20
Speaker 1: have buyfocals on, so I have extra skepticism, is what
4:24
Speaker 1: I have on here. But this is not the Lebron
4:27
Speaker 1: sweep steaks. It was presented as the Lebron Sweepstakes. I
4:30
Speaker 1: don't buy that that narrative. I'm not I'm not going there.
4:34
Speaker 1: It's it's more like the Lebron flea market. Now, you
4:37
Speaker 1: can find a nice thing every now and again at
4:40
Speaker 1: the flea market, and that's what this is. It's the
4:42
Speaker 1: Lebron James flea market. And it's like, what's what's going
4:46
Speaker 1: on there? What's on the table at the flea market?
4:49
Speaker 1: You're like, do I want that kind of fade a
4:51
Speaker 1: little bit? I'm not sure about that. Uh, And it
4:54
Speaker 1: was well, this is not the shiny new toy. We're
4:57
Speaker 1: not We're not auctioning off the shiny new toy. This
5:01
Speaker 1: is Lebron James at this point is a vintage cookie jar.
5:05
Speaker 1: It's cracked a little bit faded, now it still has
5:09
Speaker 1: some value. There's still some value there. And if you
5:12
Speaker 1: squint hard enough at the vintage cookie jar and you
5:16
Speaker 1: look at it and you ignore the fact that the
5:19
Speaker 1: cookies inside turns stale. Right around the time they got
5:23
Speaker 1: that little Mickey Mouse bubble ring that doesn't really count
5:28
Speaker 1: back at Disney World, like a nice little souvenir there. Yay,
5:32
Speaker 1: you get a ring wee not a real one. Not
5:35
Speaker 1: a real one, as we learned from the Oklahoma City
5:37
Speaker 1: thunder Guard, not every one. So Lebron James the greatest
5:40
Speaker 1: player of his generation, not the greatest of all time,
5:43
Speaker 1: as he trails Michael Jordan and others. He's also across
5:47
Speaker 1: the rubicon the dreaded four. He's in the dreaded forties
5:50
Speaker 1: age range at this particular point, Lebron James. And so
5:54
Speaker 1: you put it all together, and while he still can
5:56
Speaker 1: put up numbers for you, and the kind of a
6:01
Speaker 1: numbers that if you work over at ESPN, right, you
6:04
Speaker 1: think Lebron's like the Dalai Lama, you do, you treat
6:07
Speaker 1: him like the Dalai Lama and all that, and you
6:09
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear what he has to say about
6:11
Speaker 1: every effing thing you gotta get to the bottom of
6:13
Speaker 1: Lebron James, all right. So the impact is measured now
6:17
Speaker 1: more in a moment's rather than months of greatness. There's
6:22
Speaker 1: individual moments on a given night. Lebron can put up
6:25
Speaker 1: some big numbers and all that stuff, but it's one
6:27
Speaker 1: of those buyer beware situations for anyone that does business
6:31
Speaker 1: with Lebron James. It is a buyer beware situation because
6:35
Speaker 1: that cookie jar, remember we told you Lebron is like
6:37
Speaker 1: the flea market vintage cookie jar Lebron. It looks okay
6:42
Speaker 1: from a distance on a shelf. You're like, that's not
6:45
Speaker 1: that bad, and I could buy that. It's a couple
6:47
Speaker 1: of bucks. I gotta pay cash, no credit card. It's
6:50
Speaker 1: a couple of bucks. And the lids chipped again though
6:53
Speaker 1: a little bit. And you look at it and the
6:54
Speaker 1: basis and you get a little closer to see a
6:56
Speaker 1: little crack there on the base of it, and it
6:59
Speaker 1: really only opens when it wants to. And so that's
7:02
Speaker 1: not particularly great and all that stuff, and the four
7:05
Speaker 1: teams that are supposedly in on this. It's a nostalgia play.
7:09
Speaker 1: It would be a nostalgia play for Lebron and that's
7:14
Speaker 1: what you're going for at this particular point. Sell some stuff,
7:18
Speaker 1: you become in the conversation. You're always in the conversation. Now,
7:23
Speaker 1: Lebron's camp is trying really hard to control the narrative.
7:27
Speaker 1: They are working overtime to try to control the stories
7:31
Speaker 1: about Lebron, and they know how the offseason NBA world
7:34
Speaker 1: works and so they're the experts on all that. So
7:37
Speaker 1: Rich Paul is the one feeding the pipeline. He's the
7:42
Speaker 1: one out there, and in our opinion, Rich Paul's the
7:45
Speaker 1: one that is the puppet master directing everything here in
7:49
Speaker 1: terms of media consumption on preferred destinations for Lebron James
7:53
Speaker 1: now in order a home cooking with the Cadavers, right,
7:58
Speaker 1: go back to Ohio for a third time when one
8:01
Speaker 1: more championship with the Cavaliers fade to black Boom, done right,
8:06
Speaker 1: And of course that would be like Lebron going back
8:09
Speaker 1: to Cleveland for a third time. It's like they're the
8:12
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend that keeps texting it, hey, you up at
8:16
Speaker 1: the three in the morning or whatever. I don't know,
8:18
Speaker 1: but it's nostalgic to go back to Cleveland and do
8:21
Speaker 1: it again and all that stuff. It's also a bit delusional.
8:24
Speaker 1: Then I would say the old Geezers Club, which would
8:26
Speaker 1: be the Golden State Warriors, hang out in San Francisco,
8:29
Speaker 1: and you got Steph Curry on one side, Draymond Green
8:32
Speaker 1: on the other, Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Buckets is still there,
8:35
Speaker 1: and Lebron and Draymond can do podcasts together, and they
8:39
Speaker 1: can fire Steve Kerr and hire some podcast guide to
8:41
Speaker 1: coach the Golden State Warriors like the Lakers did for Lebron,
8:45
Speaker 1: and they'll get along good Lebron and Draymond Green until
8:49
Speaker 1: they try to hijack the clipboard from whoever the coaches,
8:52
Speaker 1: whether that's Steve Kerr or somebody else. Then it's gonna
8:55
Speaker 1: get ugly, and then you've got the reunited. It feels
8:58
Speaker 1: so good with Anthony David to go to Dallas and
9:02
Speaker 1: then stick it to the Lakers as a mav wreck
9:05
Speaker 1: with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving and all those injured
9:08
Speaker 1: guys that are on the Mavericks right now, and they
9:10
Speaker 1: instead of Taco Tuesday, they can have Tex Mex Wednesday
9:13
Speaker 1: in Dallas, Anthony Davis and Lebron. How great would that be?
9:16
Speaker 1: Of course, we all know Lebron would prefer to play
9:18
Speaker 1: for the Clippers. Everyone wants to play for the Clippers.
9:21
Speaker 1: It's hip to clip who wouldn't want to play for
9:23
Speaker 1: the Clippers. But we're gonna eliminate the Clippers. And here's why.
9:26
Speaker 1: Here's why we're gonna limit the Clippers because there's no
9:29
Speaker 1: way the Lakers are gonna allow that to happen. There's
9:32
Speaker 1: zero chants like the Clippers have a better owner, they
9:35
Speaker 1: have a better arena, they have a better fan base.
9:37
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that in town in La. They're not gonna
9:40
Speaker 1: allow Lebron to go over there and embarrass the Lakers
9:43
Speaker 1: even more. So, that's not gonna happen, right, So Jeanie Buss,
9:46
Speaker 1: he's still supposedly in charge, not gonna do that, right,
9:50
Speaker 1: Not not gonna allow that to happen, to go over
9:54
Speaker 1: to Inglewood in the hood in Inglewood and play for
9:56
Speaker 1: the Clippers. So we'll eliminate them now, page two. So
9:59
Speaker 1: we'll go to Vegas the Summer League, which is going
10:02
Speaker 1: on over the weekend there, and Lebron was sitting courtside.
10:07
Speaker 1: You see this over the weekend. I glanced at it.
10:09
Speaker 1: There's Lebron sitting courtside watching his kid that sucks at
10:13
Speaker 1: basketball play for the Lakers summer League team because he's
10:15
Speaker 1: a NEPO baby and he won a sweepstakes raffle to
10:18
Speaker 1: get on the Lakers. So there's BRONI out there who sucks,
10:22
Speaker 1: but you know, let's make a wish. So he's out
10:23
Speaker 1: there playing for the Lakers, and Lebron's watching him. They
10:25
Speaker 1: played the I Guess the Pelicans or a version a
10:29
Speaker 1: facsimile of the Pelicans in the Summer League. Now ESBN
10:34
Speaker 1: invited Lebron James. They invited Lebron. You see this. They
10:37
Speaker 1: invited Lebron on air to address the speculation which has
10:41
Speaker 1: been running rampant about where Lebron's gonna go. Is you
10:44
Speaker 1: upset with this person, that person, the other person? And
10:46
Speaker 1: so Lebron did he say, yes, I will go on television.
10:50
Speaker 1: I would like to talk b I have nothing to
10:53
Speaker 1: say or see no comment. Lebron said, quote, if you
10:57
Speaker 1: picked b you win. He said, quote, I ain't got
11:01
Speaker 1: nothing to talk about. He must have learned that in
11:03
Speaker 1: high school and Acron, I ain't got nothing to talk about.
11:05
Speaker 1: So question, why did Lebron James refuse the opportunity the
11:10
Speaker 1: platform to speak about his situation while in attendance at
11:16
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Summerly. He had his sullen look on
11:19
Speaker 1: his face, bad body language from Lebron as he was
11:23
Speaker 1: sitting courtside there in Vegas. So the answer is by
11:27
Speaker 1: saying nothing, by Lebron saying nothing and passing up the opportunity.
11:33
Speaker 1: Lebron gave a masterclass and I'm in control control one
11:38
Speaker 1: oh one. By not saying anything, he could have popped
11:40
Speaker 1: on Television's true, he was given the opportunity, was given
11:43
Speaker 1: the platform Lebron to jump over there on television and
11:46
Speaker 1: pretend like everything's good, and he chose not to do it.
11:49
Speaker 1: He had ESPN essentially throwing themselves at him and just
11:54
Speaker 1: you know again, he said, I'm not doing it. I'm
11:57
Speaker 1: not gonna go there. And he missed the opportunity, right,
12:01
Speaker 1: the old Dolly Lama line. While you could have been
12:04
Speaker 1: you know, they treated him like the Dali Lamba. But Lebron,
12:07
Speaker 1: he could have taken a fire extinguisher and put out
12:10
Speaker 1: the fire. Right, take the fire extinguisher, put out the fire.
12:13
Speaker 1: But he likes the fire. It's like he's warming marshmallows
12:17
Speaker 1: on a stick in the fire. And so instead, he
12:20
Speaker 1: worked to pour some kerosene on top of the fire.
12:25
Speaker 1: Burn baby burn. And it's like a cloak and dagger
12:28
Speaker 1: type mission. You have the useful idiots. You toss out
12:33
Speaker 1: these bread crumbs, you drop these little bread crumbs, but
12:35
Speaker 1: you don't do it you if somebody else do it
12:36
Speaker 1: for you. So you drop the bread crumbs out there,
12:39
Speaker 1: and you post cryptic things on the Gram and all
12:42
Speaker 1: that stuff, and you let the media do the dirty work,
12:45
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting for you and all that. And so
12:49
Speaker 1: you don't talk because you don't have to talk. Right,
12:50
Speaker 1: other people are talking. I'm talking about you. Everyone's talking
12:53
Speaker 1: about you. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
12:54
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Right, the machine, the machine of basketball content,
13:00
Speaker 1: is discussing Lebron James. Now this is the same guy
13:03
Speaker 1: that years ago had the remember the zero dark thirty
13:08
Speaker 1: snick and the playoff run, and of course we know
13:11
Speaker 1: that often didn't last and it work so well, So
13:14
Speaker 1: he stopped doing that, but he treated it like it
13:15
Speaker 1: was a ritual, like Marti Gras for Lebron before the playoffs.
13:20
Speaker 1: There and so Lebron chose not to speak. Not the
13:24
Speaker 1: silence was not silence, it was strategy. That was what
13:28
Speaker 1: what Lebron was doing here. And by refusing to go
13:31
Speaker 1: on camera and not using your own voice to get
13:35
Speaker 1: the message out and all that stuff in Vegas where
13:39
Speaker 1: you want to be seen, right, you go to Vegas
13:41
Speaker 1: to be seen, the party and all that stuff, and
13:44
Speaker 1: everything's a show in Vegas, and Lebron's part of the show,
13:47
Speaker 1: and he knew exactly what he was doing. Classic passive
13:50
Speaker 1: aggressive behavior by Labron. James yet again, let the drama swirl, swirl, swirl, swirl,
13:57
Speaker 1: and that's what he was doing there, and just say
14:00
Speaker 1: back and watches the speculation, and it just is everywhere
14:04
Speaker 1: there's a residence, there's a heat. It's like coming off
14:07
Speaker 1: the blacktop there on the on the court, and he's
14:11
Speaker 1: keeping it cool, right, he's sitting there, he's got his
14:13
Speaker 1: arms fold. He's unbothered, at least he wants you to
14:15
Speaker 1: believe he's unbothered by everything that's going on now. Using
14:18
Speaker 1: my Rosetta stone, using my malleor Rosetta stone to translate
14:23
Speaker 1: Lebron and what he meant in plain English in layman's terms,
14:29
Speaker 1: when Lebron said, I ain't got nothing to talk about.
14:33
Speaker 1: That was his quote. I ain't got anohing to talk
14:35
Speaker 1: about it. That means I know you're all panicking about
14:38
Speaker 1: where I'm going to be traded or if I'm going
14:40
Speaker 1: to be traded and all that, and I'm just watching
14:42
Speaker 1: you squirm, and I've got an evil laugh just like that.
14:49
Speaker 1: We know the routine. We all know. Every man, woman
14:52
Speaker 1: and child knows the routine.

15:32
Speaker 1: So I leave this hour from suburban Atlanta Truest Park
15:38
Speaker 1: in Georgia, and I've not been to Truest Park in Atlanta.
15:41
Speaker 1: I've talked to people that have been there. They said
15:43
Speaker 1: it's great. I remember when the Braves were leaving Turner
15:47
Speaker 1: Field going out to the Burbs and people were like, Oh,
15:50
Speaker 1: it's gonna suck. And now that Braves did a good
15:53
Speaker 1: job of that. And by all accounts, I've not heard
15:55
Speaker 1: one bad thing about that experience that people that have
15:59
Speaker 1: been there. I love it. Tommy in Atlanta, who's not
16:04
Speaker 1: allowed to call it show anymore because he's evil Tracny
16:06
Speaker 1: and Boss does not allow him to call while he
16:09
Speaker 1: drives his truck around Atlanta at night, and he's a
16:11
Speaker 1: fan of the show. I'm sure he loves it. Everyone
16:14
Speaker 1: loves it. But they was all Star Monday Night, way
16:18
Speaker 1: all Star Monday Night, which means, for our purposes, the
16:21
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five home run derby and good bye, mister baseball,
16:28
Speaker 1: see you later. Now. I don't know if you watched
16:30
Speaker 1: this or not. He usually does pretty well in the
16:34
Speaker 1: television ratings, but everything's watered down. Everything's watered down these days,
16:39
Speaker 1: so maybe not. But we watched so you would not
16:41
Speaker 1: have to. And the reason we watched there was nothing
16:44
Speaker 1: else on. If there had been something else on, we
16:47
Speaker 1: probably would have watched it, but there really wasn't so
16:50
Speaker 1: I assume you know by now that great night for
16:54
Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners. Congratulations the Mariners. Now I don't get
16:58
Speaker 1: to the World Series. They've never been, but this is
17:02
Speaker 1: their event back in the day. I remember, I'm old enough.
17:04
Speaker 1: I remember Ken Griffy Jr. Dominating the derby with his
17:07
Speaker 1: hat on backwards. And now another Mariner legend, the big dumper,
17:13
Speaker 1: cal Raley getting it done. It was a family a
17:16
Speaker 1: fairy and his daddy had his brother out there. Cal
17:18
Speaker 1: Raley the first catcher ever to win the All Star
17:22
Speaker 1: Home Run Derby. Holy Mike Piazza and Pud Rodriguez and
17:28
Speaker 1: all other catchers have gone years gone by, as cal
17:32
Speaker 1: Raley outlasted the player that many thought was going to
17:36
Speaker 1: win this from Tampa Bay, Junior cam and Aro. Good name,
17:41
Speaker 1: and he's got big things ahead once he leaves Tampa
17:43
Speaker 1: Bay and goes to a different team. But the final
17:45
Speaker 1: round of the Home Run Derby as cal Ray hit
17:48
Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, four, five, six, eighteen
17:51
Speaker 1: dingers for cal Raley, and cam and Aro had fifteen,
17:56
Speaker 1: and so he'll have to set her for a smaller
17:59
Speaker 1: check from Major League Baseball. More on that in a minute,
18:02
Speaker 1: but cal Rawly does join King Griffy Junior the Hall
18:06
Speaker 1: of Famer, the only two Mariners to win that particular event.
18:10
Speaker 1: And the thing that I love about this as a
18:14
Speaker 1: talk show host is that this was a rig deal.
18:19
Speaker 1: There was controversy, how do you rig the home run derby?
18:23
Speaker 1: How does one do that? Well, I don't have rigged
18:26
Speaker 1: is the right word. But cal Ray was almost eliminated,
18:31
Speaker 1: should have, could have, would have been eliminated in the
18:33
Speaker 1: very first round of the derby. He would have been
18:36
Speaker 1: eliminated by the Athletics Brent Rooker. Now let me explain
18:42
Speaker 1: if you did not watch and you have not been
18:44
Speaker 1: paying attention here. So at the end of round one,
18:47
Speaker 1: cal Raley and Brent Rooker from West Sacramento's A's not
18:52
Speaker 1: just Sacramento, it's West Sacramento. So they the same amount
18:56
Speaker 1: of home runs. They were tied with seventeen home runs. However,
19:01
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball said, well the tiebreaker, the tiebreaker goes
19:05
Speaker 1: to cal Raley by the slimmest of slim margins, by
19:09
Speaker 1: the hair on my chinny chin chin, and I'm not kitting.
19:13
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball claimed that the longest home run by
19:17
Speaker 1: cal Raley traveled four hundred and seventy point six y
19:22
Speaker 1: one feet. They said that Brent Rooker of the A's
19:26
Speaker 1: his longest home runt went four hundred and seventy feet
19:29
Speaker 1: point five to three. I'm not making any of this up.
19:34
Speaker 1: I am not I'm not making this up. So let
19:36
Speaker 1: us discuss the question do you buy the conspiracy theories
19:42
Speaker 1: that have popped up on the interweb that Major League
19:46
Speaker 1: Baseball took care of cal Raleigh to make sure that
19:50
Speaker 1: he was not eliminated in the first round of the
19:53
Speaker 1: home run derby? Did the deep state of Major League
19:56
Speaker 1: Baseball pull some Shenanigans to help push cal Raley along?
20:01
Speaker 1: So on this one, I've got quantum physics, slum dog Millionaire,
20:06
Speaker 1: and Sasquatch, and we will combine all of these things
20:10
Speaker 1: together and we are gonna make a hot pastrami sandwich
20:14
Speaker 1: and now now a cold pastrami sandwich. A hot pastrami sandwich.
20:18
Speaker 1: I'm on a Hogi roll. That is what we're gonna make.
20:20
Speaker 1: So a to answer the question do you buy into
20:23
Speaker 1: the conspiracy? Now, I would assume that you listen occasionally
20:27
Speaker 1: show and you know that I am selective. I do
20:29
Speaker 1: not totally dismiss conspiracy. I don't I have a collection
20:33
Speaker 1: as Alfie Alien Opinter can prove of tinfoil hats. In fact,
20:37
Speaker 1: I have been immortalized on the Internet for my tinfoil
20:40
Speaker 1: hat love on this one. I'm in. I am absolutely in, in,
20:47
Speaker 1: in in in all right, So let me let me
20:50
Speaker 1: go through this. I'm nodding my head. Yes, you can't
20:52
Speaker 1: see me because it's radio. If you can, you're a stalker.
20:54
Speaker 1: I'm calling the cops. So guilty as charged, Guilty as
20:58
Speaker 1: charge of this. In a same world, the world that
21:02
Speaker 1: I like to think that I'm part of, you would think,
21:05
Speaker 1: if there's a tie, what do you do? What do
21:09
Speaker 1: you do? You go to a swing off? That's what
21:11
Speaker 1: you do. Two hitters tied swing off And that was
21:16
Speaker 1: originally See this is the thing that buys into the conspiracy.
21:19
Speaker 1: If you were watching the broadcast originally, who's the guy
21:22
Speaker 1: with the hairpiece, Carl Ravage, Karl Ravitch. He was on
21:25
Speaker 1: TV there Sanna. He thought there was gonna be a
21:27
Speaker 1: swing off on the TV broadcast. They were talking about
21:31
Speaker 1: a swing off. Then the plot thickened.
21:36
Speaker 5: Do do do Do Do Do Do Doo? They changed
21:40
Speaker 5: their story. Big brother got involved. Yep, they changed their story.
21:46
Speaker 1: Baseball decided they were gonna get cute Kutzy, They got Kilzie.
21:52
Speaker 1: They pulled out the stat cast ruler. Cal Raley advances
21:59
Speaker 1: because of the nerds. Makes you wonder. Right now, I'm
22:04
Speaker 1: not saying for sure that Major League Baseball rigged the
22:07
Speaker 1: home run derby because I don't want to get sued. However,
22:10
Speaker 1: the evidence is there. You can decide for yourself whether
22:14
Speaker 1: or not the home run derby was rigged like a
22:17
Speaker 1: slot machine in Vegas back when the mob ran Vegas
22:20
Speaker 1: and they didn't have resort fees and charged for parking,
22:22
Speaker 1: and it was a great town back in the day. However,
22:25
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When you're telling me, you're telling me
22:30
Speaker 1: that cal Raleigh squeaked past Brent Rooker by, let me
22:35
Speaker 1: check the math on this. Zero point zero eight feet
22:39
Speaker 1: less than an inch. Now, I know that every inch matters.
22:44
Speaker 1: I've heard that before. But less than an inch let
22:47
Speaker 1: me repeat that for those of in the back of
22:49
Speaker 1: the room that are a little intoxicated. Less than an
22:52
Speaker 1: inch does that not raise an eyebrow? It does for me,
22:58
Speaker 1: It does for me, it it does. We're talking about baseball.
23:02
Speaker 1: This is not supposed to be quantum physics. I know
23:05
Speaker 1: the nerds at baseball got a chubby that they got
23:08
Speaker 1: to decide this based on the stat cast allegedly. So
23:12
Speaker 1: we're measuring moonshots right to the moon. We're measuring this
23:17
Speaker 1: and it comes down to the width of the width
23:20
Speaker 1: of a NAT's eyelash decides who advances in round one
23:25
Speaker 1: of the Home Run Derby and the conspiracy part of
23:28
Speaker 1: it when you toss in. Originally on the television broadcast,
23:30
Speaker 1: they assumed there would be a swing off, they said
23:32
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. And so here we are with the
23:37
Speaker 1: bigger name player. We can all agree on that. Every man,
23:41
Speaker 1: woman and Chawi can agree the bigger name player in
23:43
Speaker 1: this between Brent Rooker and cal Rawley is cal Raleigh.
23:46
Speaker 1: Cal Rawley's not gonna win the MVP, but he's having
23:49
Speaker 1: an MVP season, switch hitting catcher, great nickname, the big dumper.
23:54
Speaker 1: What's not to like? Right, He's in the MVP ways
23:56
Speaker 1: with Aaron Judge and he advances to the second not
24:00
Speaker 1: originally it was what do you advanced? She advances. He
24:04
Speaker 1: ends up going on and winning the Home Run Derby
24:07
Speaker 1: crown by a Razor thin March. We are talking again.
24:13
Speaker 1: Less than an inch Okay, less than an inch like
24:17
Speaker 1: a paper cut, is what we're talking about here, and
24:21
Speaker 1: and that ended up being the thing that that descided it.
24:24
Speaker 1: And so all things being equal, if we agree, this
24:30
Speaker 1: is a television show. Okay, it's a TV show. And
24:35
Speaker 1: the story is cal Raley that this is his magical
24:39
Speaker 1: career year. He's put it all together. He'll never play
24:42
Speaker 1: as good as this for Seattle, and this is his
24:45
Speaker 1: career year. You don't have two career years. You had
24:47
Speaker 1: one career year. So that that's the case. And then
24:52
Speaker 1: you look at Brent Rooker, who's also a good player,
24:55
Speaker 1: and he's had solid numbers. He's got a nice contract,
24:58
Speaker 1: making a lot of money. But the baseball mantra is
25:03
Speaker 1: anybody advances not wearing an Athletics jersey. Do you understand
25:08
Speaker 1: the Athletics are the shame of the family of Major
25:12
Speaker 1: League Baseball. They're an embarrassment. Okay, they play in a
25:16
Speaker 1: minor league ballpark in a town that baseball's so embarrassed
25:19
Speaker 1: about they won't even say the name. That's how little
25:22
Speaker 1: major League Baseball thinks of Sacramento. They're so shamed by Sacramento.
25:27
Speaker 1: It is such a ward on their ass that they
25:31
Speaker 1: will not say Sacramento Athletics. You're not allowed to say it.
25:34
Speaker 1: They're just the athletics. But where do they play? They're
25:38
Speaker 1: just athletics. It's so shameful and so is it beyond
25:42
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility that Major League Baseball said, I
25:45
Speaker 1: don't know. Nobody will question it. Nobody ever questions the
25:48
Speaker 1: stat cast numbers. Ever, so you've got the ugly, redheaded
25:54
Speaker 1: step children in the athletics. Brent rookerd plays for them,
25:57
Speaker 1: who are baseball orphans until eventually then they get to
26:01
Speaker 1: get to Vegas and so Cal No, I'm not gonna
26:04
Speaker 1: hear it say Seattle is a mecca of baseball. We
26:08
Speaker 1: like to use the line that came from Cowboy coach
26:11
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson back in the day where he famously said
26:14
Speaker 1: of Seattle at Southern Alaska when he had to go
26:17
Speaker 1: up there for an NFC championship game. However, side by signed,
26:22
Speaker 1: if you put Cal Raleigh and Brent Rooker side by side, right,
26:27
Speaker 1: you put them side by side. Cal Rawley's like Taylor Swift. Okay,
26:34
Speaker 1: It's just that's the that's the case there so that's
26:38
Speaker 1: where we are now. The other thing, and this has
26:39
Speaker 1: been going on for a little bit, but we were
26:42
Speaker 1: reminded of it. We forget about it once the derby
26:45
Speaker 1: comes and goes. But where are you at on Major
26:47
Speaker 1: League Baseball handing cal Raleigh the winner of the home
26:51
Speaker 1: run derby a one million dollar cartoon side check and
26:57
Speaker 1: they win. The winner of the home run derby won
26:59
Speaker 1: one million dollars in this case cal Raley, So where
27:03
Speaker 1: are you at on that? They also add the championship
27:05
Speaker 1: belt and the chain which you got to tell you,
27:10
Speaker 1: cal Raley didn't look that cool with the with the
27:13
Speaker 1: chain of they were hoping for cool, they didn't. Cal
27:15
Speaker 1: Raley didn't look that cool. He didn't anyway. So this
27:19
Speaker 1: is the million dollar prize from Major League Baseball. This
27:24
Speaker 1: is the people over there in New York who run
27:26
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, who think they are marketing geniuses. Yet again, Hey,
27:31
Speaker 1: you know what at NBA they give out more money
27:35
Speaker 1: for the dunk contest. Why don't we take a page
27:37
Speaker 1: out of their playbook? And then you got the the
27:40
Speaker 1: wrestling people seem to like that a lot. They have
27:42
Speaker 1: the belt and people like bling blinge. So let's put
27:47
Speaker 1: a chain. We'll have a big thing there and that'll
27:49
Speaker 1: be the way we do it. We'll get we're gonna
27:51
Speaker 1: make that Derby cool again. We're gonna make the home
27:54
Speaker 1: run Derby cool again. So get the bags of dog,
27:57
Speaker 1: get the jewelry out, and it's all. Put some fireworks
28:01
Speaker 1: in there for the home run Derby, give out some
28:04
Speaker 1: oversized gloves to fans, and we're in. So we're at
28:09
Speaker 1: the point now in the story where you now need
28:12
Speaker 1: to bribe players to get them to take part in
28:15
Speaker 1: the All Star Game festivities. So again, it's just baseball
28:20
Speaker 1: trying to be like basketball. They're trying to be cool.
28:23
Speaker 1: They're not cool. Baseball is never cool. I like baseball,
28:26
Speaker 1: but they're never cool. It can be really cool as
28:28
Speaker 1: a baseball player, and trying to be a little flashy
28:31
Speaker 1: with the jewelry, trying to get that in there. And
28:34
Speaker 1: but the thing about this is, and maybe I'm wrong
28:37
Speaker 1: on this, you can correct me if i am, I'll
28:38
Speaker 1: give it the number a little bit. But it's like
28:41
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball selling the home Run Derby as slum
28:45
Speaker 1: dog millionaire, like giving the illusion this is it's gonna
28:49
Speaker 1: be a rags to riches story, like in their head.
28:51
Speaker 1: The marketing people at Major the Baseball is like, yeah, listen,
28:53
Speaker 1: somebody who's like on a rookie contract is gonna win
28:56
Speaker 1: the derby and they're gonna make more money for winning
29:00
Speaker 1: the derby then they make playing for whatever team they
29:03
Speaker 1: played for. Spoiler alert. It did not work. It did
29:07
Speaker 1: not work, and it wouldn't have worked anyway. Like if
29:11
Speaker 1: somebody they thought was going to win, one of these
29:13
Speaker 1: guys on the rookie contract would have won, it still
29:15
Speaker 1: would not have worked. Right. The rags to richest thing
29:17
Speaker 1: doesn't work. Now, I'm old enough. When I was a kid,
29:20
Speaker 1: there were still baseball players that got jobs in the
29:23
Speaker 1: offseason selling cars or I don't think they cleaned toilets,
29:26
Speaker 1: but they had jobs in the offseason, some of them did.
29:30
Speaker 1: But now everyone's loaded. Everyone's rich that plays baseball. There's
29:36
Speaker 1: no poor people that play Major League Baseball doesn't exist, right,
29:40
Speaker 1: do you know? The minimum salary in Major League Baseball
29:43
Speaker 1: this season is seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars. If
29:50
Speaker 1: I knew somebody that made seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars,
29:54
Speaker 1: I'd say, holy crap, what's it like to be rich?
29:58
Speaker 1: My god? So baseball's so out of touch. They're so
30:02
Speaker 1: obtuse to people at marketing in Major League Baseball, Like,
30:05
Speaker 1: did they really think that Joe Schmoe sitting on their
30:08
Speaker 1: ass eating eating bond bonds, watching the home run derby
30:12
Speaker 1: on their sofa was gonna think? Well, I really feel
30:16
Speaker 1: good this rags to riches story. Here is a poor,
30:20
Speaker 1: helpless baseball player only making seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars,
30:25
Speaker 1: and now they got a million dollars. And of course
30:27
Speaker 1: it backfired. It was ruled because cal Raley, let me
30:29
Speaker 1: check my notes here, seventeen and a half million dollar salary,
30:33
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar contract, and he won the home
30:36
Speaker 1: run derby. Yeah, so I just gave the check to
30:39
Speaker 1: his younger brothers said here go buy some stock, buy
30:43
Speaker 1: some stock with dividends, knock yourself out, all right now,
30:46
Speaker 1: last word, all right, last word, So cal Rally, big
30:48
Speaker 1: win there, big win. Now this has created I already
30:53
Speaker 1: got a couple of emails from our friends that listen
30:55
Speaker 1: to the Great Pacific Northwest here, because there's nothing quite
30:58
Speaker 1: like a Mariner fan. Now you might not know Marion
31:01
Speaker 1: fans because you might live far away from Seattle with
31:03
Speaker 1: the Marina fan is already pacing around their apartment, biting
31:08
Speaker 1: their nails, wondering whether or not, Yes, cal Raley is
31:13
Speaker 1: going to now start sucking and ride the vomit comet.
31:16
Speaker 1: You know, Robbie. The Mariner fans freaking, Oh my god,
31:19
Speaker 1: he swung through the fences. He's gonna fit the Jinks.
31:23
Speaker 1: What about the Jenks, the so called Derby Jinks? Right,
31:26
Speaker 1: that that's a thing people now spoke Marina fans, Oh
31:29
Speaker 1: my god, we can't have nice things. Cal Raley's gonna
31:32
Speaker 1: blow because of the Derby Jinks. So thumbs up, thumbs down.
31:39
Speaker 1: Should Mariner fans be paranoid about cal Raley going into
31:44
Speaker 1: slump City because of the home run Derby Jinks? So
31:49
Speaker 1: I'm going thumbs down on this. I'm gonna go thumbs
31:52
Speaker 1: down on this. Now. This is an old wisetail that
31:55
Speaker 1: has been passed down from previous generations about the home
31:59
Speaker 1: run and the theory is that the players that participate
32:03
Speaker 1: in the home run Derby the All Star Slugfest, right,
32:06
Speaker 1: the people that are out there, they come back cursed
32:11
Speaker 1: that they have home run PTSD and it just messes
32:15
Speaker 1: with their mind. Theirs swings are in shambles, and their
32:18
Speaker 1: timing is off, and their stands go down, down, down,
32:22
Speaker 1: down down. That's how it goes. But let me help
32:25
Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters in the great Pacific Northwest. Here.
32:29
Speaker 1: I will put on my shrink cap. I will be
32:32
Speaker 1: Benny the Shrink and I will help you out. I'm
32:35
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I'm gonna do I'm gonna cut through
32:37
Speaker 1: the psycho babble. If you take a deep breath, you
32:41
Speaker 1: can do it. You take take a deep breath. Uh,
32:43
Speaker 1: you put the ant acids down, You put the bottle there.
32:47
Speaker 1: You stop buying the hogwash, just stop.
32:52
Speaker 5: Uh.
32:52
Speaker 1: The jinx is about as real as next time you
32:55
Speaker 1: go out to Safego Field, Sasquatch, an actual Sasquatch throws
33:00
Speaker 1: out the first pitch at America Game. There's a better
33:04
Speaker 1: chance of Sasquatch. Hey, I'm not talking about a mascot.
33:07
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the real Sasquatch coming out Bigfoot throwing
33:11
Speaker 1: out of the first pitch. There's a better chance of that. Now,
33:15
Speaker 1: I get it. People love a good story, right, Stories
33:17
Speaker 1: are the greatest Everyone we learned from stories. We all
33:20
Speaker 1: learn from stories. It doesn't matter where you come from.
33:22
Speaker 1: But the idea that the Derby, that the MLB Home
33:25
Speaker 1: Run Derby is going to screw up cal Riley so
33:28
Speaker 1: much that he's going to be terrible. And I know
33:33
Speaker 1: why this has been the thing because there were players
33:36
Speaker 1: years ago that had bad second half, right, but the
33:39
Speaker 1: correlation ain't causation on this one, and the numbers back
33:44
Speaker 1: it up. The actual data. Now, if you go, we
33:48
Speaker 1: have a long home run Derby history year, and not
33:51
Speaker 1: just some internet chatter, but actual data has shown there's
33:55
Speaker 1: no consistent drop off in performance by those that are
33:59
Speaker 1: in the home run Derby. Now, are there players that
34:02
Speaker 1: go into a prolonged slump? Yes, there are, absolutely. There's
34:07
Speaker 1: others though, like Peede Alonzo, a regular in the Homo Derby,
34:09
Speaker 1: wasn't in this year, or Aaron Judge who keep Monster
34:12
Speaker 1: mushing even though they were in the Homer Derby. So
34:15
Speaker 1: it's essentially a coin flip, not a curse. It's a
34:18
Speaker 1: coin flip. And if the big dumper comes out and
34:23
Speaker 1: takes a dump for the Seattle Mariners there on the
34:26
Speaker 1: field in late July and August and all that stuff,
34:30
Speaker 1: it's not because of some mythical Derby voodoo. It's not
34:34
Speaker 1: because of that it's because baseball is a grime. We
34:37
Speaker 1: get into those dog days of summer and it's brutal.
