- 0:27Speaker 2: it all over yourself.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Oh yes, every week we get the chance to chat
- 0:32Speaker 1: with the coach. New Isel also joined us on Friday.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Another one of those like, oh Bucky's not there. Yeah,
- 0:37Speaker 1: I'll change my schedule around to be on with you. Yeah,
- 0:40Speaker 1: same thing, same same thing. Finds out I'm not here,
- 0:43Speaker 1: like I can't wait to come on now, so good
- 0:45Speaker 1: that I'm not doing Tuesday this week. I'll do Friday,
- 0:48Speaker 1: please please.
- 0:49Speaker 5: I thought coach and uh and and fifty both were
- 0:53Speaker 5: nice guys before they are they just don't like you.
- 0:55Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that doesn't make them back.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Probably means you're the right Tell them, coach.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Tell them, tell them, tell them, there's no bad people here.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Everybody's a big fan of everybody.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Yeah, we all just get along, get along, thank you.
- 1:15Speaker 1: All right, Well, it's good that we're all back together here.
- 1:17Speaker 1: And it's course this conversation brought to you by Taco time.
- 1:21Speaker 1: All right, so we got a lot of ground to
- 1:23Speaker 1: cover here. I got to ask you about what's the
- 1:25Speaker 1: big story this week in college football, and that's all
- 1:28Speaker 1: the coaching firings. As they stack up like firewood in
- 1:32Speaker 1: the corner, it's becoming very obvious that we are This
- 1:37Speaker 1: is another layer to this new world of college football
- 1:40Speaker 1: that we live in. And I wonder though, I mean,
- 1:43Speaker 1: eating fifty sixty million dollars at a time just because
- 1:47Speaker 1: the program's only good and not championship caliber. Is that
- 1:52Speaker 1: something that you saw coming? And is it something sustainable
- 1:57Speaker 1: going forward in this new world of college football?
- 2:00Speaker 2: The answer to both of those are no, this is ridiculous.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I mean, Brian Kelly was thirty three and fourteen at LSU.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I mean thirty three and fourteen is Hall of Fame credentials.
- 2:15Speaker 2: You only have to be sixty I guess fifty nine
- 2:17Speaker 2: point five percent as a winning coach to be a
- 2:19Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, or at least be considered as such
- 2:23Speaker 2: that that is confounding, to say the least, and to
- 2:27Speaker 2: give him fifty four million bucks to walk.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Out the door is incredible.
- 2:33Speaker 2: We're we're over one hundred and fifty million dollars in
- 2:36Speaker 2: dead money in a world where every athletic director is
- 2:40Speaker 2: telling you how financially challenged they are, and we're doing
- 2:44Speaker 2: that that makes no sense. And I will tell you,
- 2:47Speaker 2: and I said this a million times, so you know
- 2:50Speaker 2: I'm telling you the truth that my one of my
- 2:54Speaker 2: favorite years of my entire coaching career was my last
- 2:57Speaker 2: at Washington when we were four and five and came
- 3:00Speaker 2: back and won the Northwest Championship and beat Oregon State,
- 3:05Speaker 2: beat Oregon at Oregon, and then beat Washington State at
- 3:07Speaker 2: Washington State when they were number three in the country.
- 3:11Speaker 2: To get that done and to get the team to
- 3:13Speaker 2: believe that, you know, how you deal with adversity. That's
- 3:17Speaker 2: part of the education that you're supposed to be getting
- 3:19Speaker 2: in college. Now we're giving an education that if you're
- 3:22Speaker 2: not doing every you know, winning championships, it's time to
- 3:26Speaker 2: quit and cancel Christmas. I don't get it. We've lost
- 3:33Speaker 2: our way and it's because we've given the pseudo owners,
- 3:36Speaker 2: those that we keep going to for more and more
- 3:39Speaker 2: in terms of resources and money, financial support. We've given
- 3:43Speaker 2: them all kinds of now ability to make the decisions.
- 3:48Speaker 2: And that's just it's scary, it's frightening, and it's nowhere
- 3:53Speaker 2: that I think we should be or want to be.
- 3:56Speaker 5: But can this genie get put back in the bottle?
- 3:59Speaker 5: I mean, you're right, you just narrowed it down to
- 4:01Speaker 5: where all of a sudden you're giving more of a
- 4:03Speaker 5: voice to those that chip in because now you have
- 4:07Speaker 5: to pay these players. You need to pay them, and
- 4:10Speaker 5: so then it's well, if I'm paying, so you got
- 4:13Speaker 5: this guy and that guy, and look how much better
- 4:15Speaker 5: your team's supposed to be based on our nil log.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Then if you don't win at all, then that's not
- 4:21Speaker 5: good enough. We'll go ahead and boot you out the
- 4:23Speaker 5: door and hopefully bring somebody else in. I mean, can
- 4:25Speaker 5: you put this genie back in the bottle?
- 4:29Speaker 2: The answer probably is no. I don't know many genies
- 4:33Speaker 2: that want to go back in. But the bottom line
- 4:38Speaker 2: is we can grab a hold of this by just
- 4:42Speaker 2: dealing with the financial realities. People want to put their
- 4:45Speaker 2: head in the sand and say that you know this
- 4:48Speaker 2: paying the players thing. We can survive it. We're going
- 4:52Speaker 2: to put this artificial house settlement twenty point five. And
- 4:55Speaker 2: yet Benmo and Phones were going off the charts on
- 4:59Speaker 2: ju thirtieth because every team was paying their players a
- 5:03Speaker 2: sizeable amount of the money that they owed before that date,
- 5:06Speaker 2: so it didn't count against the twenty point five. So
- 5:09Speaker 2: we're always robbing Peter to pay Paul, and now this
- 5:13Speaker 2: next year we're going to be doing the same thing.
- 5:15Speaker 2: We have to come to grips that this is the
- 5:17Speaker 2: way it's supposed to be. We have an incredibly popular sport,
- 5:22Speaker 2: incredibly popular entertainment device, which are called college athletics for
- 5:27Speaker 2: the world, and what we need to do is figure
- 5:30Speaker 2: out what that brings in, give a percentage of that
- 5:33Speaker 2: to the players, which is called collective bargaining, and just
- 5:36Speaker 2: be done with it. And then if that creates parody,
- 5:39Speaker 2: so be it. But we do not need to keep
- 5:43Speaker 2: pushing this ball down the field or kicking it down
- 5:48Speaker 2: they can down the way, trying to avoid the economic realities.
- 5:53Speaker 2: And this chase for championships is becoming now an ownership
- 5:58Speaker 2: deal where people are buying stake in their respected teams
- 6:01Speaker 2: by putting the bill for this because there's no other
- 6:04Speaker 2: place for the money given that the rich don't want
- 6:07Speaker 2: to share. They just want it all to themselves. And
- 6:09Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's gonna collapse.
- 6:12Speaker 1: It can't.
- 6:13Speaker 2: It's not sustainable.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I think that's perfectly put your
- 6:17Speaker 1: two responses to our questions here this morning. And I
- 6:20Speaker 1: do wonder what the next contract looks like for the
- 6:23Speaker 1: next LSU head coach. I mean, do you really think
- 6:26Speaker 1: you're just going to sign a guy to a one
- 6:27Speaker 1: year deal because we don't have to pay fifty million
- 6:30Speaker 1: dollars again as a buyout. I mean, you're you're making
- 6:34Speaker 1: it very clear that it's championship or you're out. You're
- 6:38Speaker 1: either giving us a championship caliber team or you're not
- 6:41Speaker 1: going to be here anymore. Well, how can you just
- 6:44Speaker 1: keep giving multi year deals worth ten twelve million dollars
- 6:49Speaker 1: to head coaches and just keep stacking that pile? I mean,
- 6:53Speaker 1: it doesn't It not feasible at this point, coach. I
- 6:56Speaker 1: know we got other things to get to, but it's
- 6:58Speaker 1: just not feasible. Well, I'm very curious to see the
- 7:02Speaker 1: next contract of the next LSU head coach and what
- 7:05Speaker 1: it looks like, Well.
- 7:07Speaker 2: That contract will be out of out of control crazy
- 7:11Speaker 2: if they go and get an established coach that already
- 7:13Speaker 2: has one of those contracts.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Right.
- 7:16Speaker 2: That's that's where listen, you guys, remember Jake Dickert. Jake
- 7:21Speaker 2: Dickert got the job at Washington State because Nick Rolovitch
- 7:26Speaker 2: wouldn't take the vaccine right. Nick wouldn't take it, he
- 7:30Speaker 2: cited religious reasons, and Jake Dickert gets put in the job.
- 7:35Speaker 2: No one knew who Jake Dickert was other than a
- 7:37Speaker 2: few people who you know studying cougar defense. But all
- 7:41Speaker 2: of a sudden he's the head coach, and he does
- 7:43Speaker 2: a pretty dang good job, such to the fact that
- 7:45Speaker 2: when he gets an opportunity to go to Wake Forest,
- 7:48Speaker 2: given the situation that Washington State finds itself in without
- 7:53Speaker 2: necessarily a conference, he goes to Wake Forest and now
- 7:56Speaker 2: Wake Forest is doing great. They just beat SMU, the
- 7:59Speaker 2: first time SMU lost an ACC game since joining that league.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Jake Dickert would have taken any one year deal that
- 8:06Speaker 2: you would have given him. There are a ton of
- 8:08Speaker 2: Jake Dickert's out there. We just keep going because we
- 8:12Speaker 2: have to win a press conference, and we have to
- 8:15Speaker 2: impress people as to who our guy is and how
- 8:17Speaker 2: many games he's won. Lane Tiffen can call his number.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Lane Tiffin can go to Florida, he can go to LSU.
- 8:24Speaker 2: And he's on McAfee the other day saying I don't
- 8:27Speaker 2: care about money. But I can't say that because Jimmy,
- 8:30Speaker 2: Jimmy Sex and his agent gets all ticked off at him,
- 8:33Speaker 2: because Jimmy is not only making it for Lane, He's
- 8:36Speaker 2: making it for the other eleven guys that he represents
- 8:38Speaker 2: in the SEC. Because he's moving the chairs. He's like
- 8:41Speaker 2: a marionette. It's crazy what dance we're dancing because they
- 8:46Speaker 2: say he got to dance. There's plenty of coaches. We're
- 8:51Speaker 2: caught up in this world. There's only a few of
- 8:53Speaker 2: us that can figure out how to drop a ballplay
- 8:56Speaker 2: That just isn't the case.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Man, Are you worried it's gonna blow the whole thing up?
- 9:00Speaker 1: You're not that. You're not worried that will come to
- 9:02Speaker 1: our senses eventually.
- 9:05Speaker 2: The game's too good. What is wonderful on Saturdays is
- 9:09Speaker 2: that even though there's money involved, the kids still play
- 9:12Speaker 2: their tails off. They love it. They can't get enough
- 9:16Speaker 2: of it. Now, we got to be the adults in
- 9:19Speaker 2: the room and figure out the financials so it's fair
- 9:22Speaker 2: and equitable. And I mean across the entire athletic department.
- 9:25Speaker 2: I'm not talking about any individual. I'm talking about the
- 9:28Speaker 2: entire athletic department. So college athlete athletics can still be
- 9:32Speaker 2: there and be sustainable for the long haul. So the kids,
- 9:36Speaker 2: the vast majority of them, ninety eight percent of them
- 9:39Speaker 2: not going on to play pro right, ninety eight percent,
- 9:43Speaker 2: can have a meaningful college athletic experience and be in
- 9:47Speaker 2: springboard mode to life after sport. That's what we need
- 9:51Speaker 2: to do. And for anybody else it's not happy with that,
- 9:54Speaker 2: I can't help you.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Yeah, rig new Isiael is with us a segment every week,
- 9:57Speaker 1: brought to you by Taco Tim. I thought that was
- 9:59Speaker 1: a subject worthy of spending a lot of time on
- 10:01Speaker 1: here today, and we've done that. But I do got
- 10:03Speaker 1: to get to the other parts of college football that
- 10:06Speaker 1: we wanted to discuss with you, including you, dub. How
- 10:08Speaker 1: nice of a win was that for jet Fish in
- 10:10Speaker 1: the program over Illinois on Saturday, got.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Demon Williams going again. He's twenty six to thirty three
- 10:17Speaker 2: to eighty and he runs for sixty six. That's what
- 10:20Speaker 2: you have to do. The two teams that have beaten
- 10:22Speaker 2: Washington have held Demon Williams to minus rucking yards. His
- 10:28Speaker 2: legs open up the rest of the offense, and the
- 10:32Speaker 2: schedule sets up beautifully for him. You know they're going
- 10:35Speaker 2: to be favored in their next three games. The only
- 10:37Speaker 2: exception will be the finale against Oregon. But if they
- 10:42Speaker 2: can win the next three, they get to even if
- 10:44Speaker 2: the Oregon game doesn't go well, that's nine to three.
- 10:47Speaker 3: A bowl game.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Puts you into a ten and three ten win season.
- 10:50Speaker 2: That is progress, and anybody paying attention to Washington football
- 10:54Speaker 2: is going to start taking very close notice about wanting
- 10:57Speaker 2: to come to play at Motlay.
- 11:00Speaker 5: So how much credit do you give him just for that?
- 11:02Speaker 5: I mean, you're beating your first ranked opponent. Maybe it's
- 11:04Speaker 5: not a signature win that same way it would have
- 11:06Speaker 5: been to obviously shock the world against Ohio State or
- 11:09Speaker 5: beat Michigan at the Big House. But is it the
- 11:12Speaker 5: closest thing to a signature wining the Jeff Fish Air.
- 11:16Speaker 2: It's a great win. The Michigan win last year was
- 11:19Speaker 2: a great win because of the brand that it represents
- 11:22Speaker 2: the listen, Jed's putting it together. But this quarterback is
- 11:26Speaker 2: special and if you can unlock him and mandate the
- 11:30Speaker 2: first thing you do in your game plan is how
- 11:32Speaker 2: am I getting his fifty two one hundred yards? Because
- 11:35Speaker 2: everything else comes up, play, action, pass and all of it.
- 11:39Speaker 2: If you just figure that out, you're going to have
- 11:41Speaker 2: a great chance to win every time you get out there.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Rick new isil joining us here on checking Buck on
- 11:46Speaker 1: the mornings as we talked from college football here today.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Well they're on by this week, so plenty of other
- 11:53Speaker 1: games to entertain us with, including Ohio State number one
- 11:58Speaker 1: taking on Penn State. This was supposed to be the
- 12:00Speaker 1: game of the year. How disappointing is it for you
- 12:03Speaker 1: and your CBS brethren to not have this be the
- 12:07Speaker 1: game of the year.
- 12:09Speaker 2: It is unfortunate for all of those networks that paid
- 12:14Speaker 2: so much handsomely for the Big Ten deal. You know,
- 12:17Speaker 2: there's six teams in the Big Ten that are on buy,
- 12:19Speaker 2: including the Huskies, So Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington, Northwestern, Ucla, and
- 12:25Speaker 2: Oregon are all taking the weekend off. We get Indiana
- 12:30Speaker 2: at Maryland. Yeah, right, so listen, Maryland has been a
- 12:35Speaker 2: they're one in three in conference play. They've been ahead
- 12:38Speaker 2: and all three losses in the fourth quarter. So it's
- 12:41Speaker 2: not unthinkable. But the way Indiana's playing, it's hard to
- 12:46Speaker 2: muster a case. It's going to be that the Fernando
- 12:50Speaker 2: Mendoza story is a great one, as Signetti's story is
- 12:54Speaker 2: a great one. It's going to be a tall order
- 12:57Speaker 2: for the Terps to get that done.
- 12:58Speaker 1: How good is Indian I mean, they are fantastic, are
- 13:02Speaker 1: they not?
- 13:03Speaker 2: They are? You know how when we get to college
- 13:06Speaker 2: basketball season, we always sit and listen to the analysts say, well,
- 13:10Speaker 2: this is a really old team and how that benefits
- 13:13Speaker 2: when you get to tournament time. This is a really
- 13:16Speaker 2: old team in the trenches, offensive, defensive lines. These are
- 13:21Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty three year old kids that all have
- 13:26Speaker 2: you know, built their bodies to a place where they
- 13:29Speaker 2: are dominant. They have played. They held Oregon, and we've
- 13:33Speaker 2: got Oregon as one of the top brands and teams
- 13:36Speaker 2: in the country. They held Oregon until the final little
- 13:39Speaker 2: you know, couple of throws down the field versus a
- 13:41Speaker 2: prevent deal to forty one yards in the second half.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Oregon scored one touchdown. UCLA had two field goals, two
- 13:49Speaker 2: field goals. Last week. Oregon had one touchdown and two
- 13:52Speaker 2: field goals in the game previous, the other touchdown coming
- 13:55Speaker 2: by a pick six. So this is no accident. This
- 13:59Speaker 2: is a really good team and Signetti is loving it.
- 14:03Speaker 2: He loves to break the will and remind everybody how
- 14:07Speaker 2: good they are. Got a fun to watch. Yah him,
- 14:10Speaker 2: just take the role of I told you so.
- 14:12Speaker 1: All right, So Indiana Maryland on CBS. Yeah, Fox has
- 14:16Speaker 1: the Ohio State Penn State game. I was just thinking,
- 14:18Speaker 1: you guys had big ten games, so forgive me for that.
- 14:22Speaker 1: But yeah, it's too bad for Fox because that was
- 14:25Speaker 1: supposed to be the game of the year and now, yeah,
- 14:27Speaker 1: now it seems like it's a dud. All right, there
- 14:30Speaker 1: are some other really good games this weekend. Vanderbilt continues
- 14:34Speaker 1: its role. Can they do it in Austin, Texas?
- 14:39Speaker 3: You know they can.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I think the wrong team's favor here. I think Vanderbilt
- 14:43Speaker 2: should be the favorite. Texas was down seventeen in Starkville
- 14:46Speaker 2: last week and because of Jeff Levy just completely lost
- 14:51Speaker 2: his mind, the head coach at Mississippi State, and punted
- 14:54Speaker 2: to Ryan Niblett, who ran a punt back against Oklahoma
- 14:57Speaker 2: ran a punt back against Kentucky, and yet with a
- 15:00Speaker 2: seven point lead two minutes left in the game, he
- 15:03Speaker 2: punts to him and the guy goes seventy nine yards
- 15:05Speaker 2: for a touchdown, and so they go to overtime and
- 15:08Speaker 2: he loses, having squandered a seventeen point lead in the
- 15:12Speaker 2: second half. Stuff happens, but you can't let players who
- 15:15Speaker 2: have proven they can do it do it. So Vanderbilt
- 15:19Speaker 2: comes in with this Diego Pavia kid that is incredible,
- 15:24Speaker 2: and I just think that because of the way their
- 15:27Speaker 2: defense and offense are complementary and the lack of Texas
- 15:30Speaker 2: being able to establish a running game, I think the
- 15:33Speaker 2: Commodores are going to.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Win Oklahoma Tennessee. I mean, we can start labeling these things.
- 15:39Speaker 1: This is like losers out of the tournament. That's where
- 15:42Speaker 1: we're at at this point in the season.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Now that we have got the playoff games, Yeah, that's
- 15:46Speaker 2: the playoff game, no question about it. I think Miami
- 15:50Speaker 2: and SMU. SMU's got three losses, but they could still
- 15:53Speaker 2: win the ACC because they've only got.
- 15:56Speaker 3: The one loss.
- 15:57Speaker 2: The Miami SMU games definitely playoff game. Cincinnati in Utah
- 16:04Speaker 2: is a great game.
- 16:05Speaker 3: This week.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I think USC Nebraska. The Trojans have to win in
- 16:10Speaker 2: Lincoln if they're going to keep their hopes alive. So
- 16:13Speaker 2: there's a number of good games. Texas Tech is on
- 16:16Speaker 2: upset alert. They go to Kansas State. Kansas State has
- 16:20Speaker 2: won the last two, Avery Johnson looking like a player,
- 16:23Speaker 2: and Texas Tech is without their backup quarterback.
- 16:26Speaker 3: So Baron Morton's.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Starter, who's a little nicked up, He's going to have
- 16:29Speaker 2: to play, but he's got to stay healthy.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Nice call with the Koogs with your Taco Time pick
- 16:34Speaker 1: of the week last week. So you're on a roll.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Where are you going this week?
- 16:39Speaker 2: We're going with Bandy No points needed, give me the Commodoores.
- 16:44Speaker 2: My guy Clark Lee Diego Pavia strikes the pose again
- 16:48Speaker 2: in longhorn Land.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to think that Clark Lee's completely focused
- 16:53Speaker 1: on Texas, but my guess is he got a thousand
- 16:56Speaker 1: calls from fifteen different coaching vacancies this week.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Did you see after the game that Jimmy Sexton was
- 17:02Speaker 2: over there giving him the big bear?
- 17:04Speaker 1: Huh yeah, yeah, of course he's there sniffing around exactly
- 17:11Speaker 1: all right, coach, Well, we fired through a lot great
- 17:13Speaker 1: stuff this morning. We appreciate it, and we will talk
- 17:16Speaker 1: to you again next week.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Don't lose heart. And college football still the best game
- 17:22Speaker 2: on the planet. It'll it'll pick it, We'll get it fixed.
- 17:25Speaker 1: The product's phenomenal. I mean, I probably enjoyed the last
- 17:27Speaker 1: three years of college football more than I have at
- 17:30Speaker 1: any point in my life, despite all of this chaos,
- 17:32Speaker 1: all of that is going on around us.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yep, we'll, we'll, we'll just forced these guys into a
- 17:38Speaker 2: room and make them understand that you can't screw up
- 17:41Speaker 2: the greatest game on the planet.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Thank you, coach, appreciate you guys. All right right now,
- 17:46Speaker 1: Heizel joining us right here on Chuck and Buckets segment
- 17:49Speaker 1: every week, brought to you by Taco Time.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:51Speaker 1: A lot to discuss, a lot to do. There was
- 17:53Speaker 1: a lot more left on that boom too. All right,
- 17:55Speaker 1: the old judge is going to stop by next that's right,
- 17:58Speaker 1: We've got some thing to discuss in his courtroom. Sports
- 18:02Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M, show
- 18:05Speaker 1: some respect.
- 18:06Speaker 3: I am the one hundred and eighth Yeah with my name.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Yes goes all the way back to biblical times.
- 18:12Speaker 6: I really the opposite that you'd be really old. But no,
- 18:15Speaker 6: that makes he really young.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the youngest.
- 18:16Speaker 5: He's the baby, yeah, yeah, baby, the baby of the
- 18:19Speaker 5: Cornelia's buck holes.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Yes, or something like that.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Cornelias, they're the youngest of the buck holes.
- 18:25Speaker 5: All right, yeah, it's right, shinyny.
- 18:29Speaker 1: All right, here's how this works. I'm going to bring
- 18:31Speaker 1: up a topic Ashley and I discuss it. When Judge
- 18:35Speaker 1: the old judge is hurt enough, he'll smack his gavel.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Gavel, gavel gavel.
- 18:40Speaker 1: He will interrupt this, and then he will weigh in
- 18:42Speaker 1: and whatever the old judge says goes.
- 18:45Speaker 3: I like that.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Wen't have an argument. We just got to take that
- 18:48Speaker 1: home with us, sit with it, all right, So here
- 18:51Speaker 1: we go. I'm not jealous of the Dodgers because they're
- 18:54Speaker 1: world champs. I'm jealous because they have show hay.
- 18:58Speaker 7: Oh, I mean I would love to have Showy. That
- 19:00Speaker 7: does make me jealous, although I don't. I think there's
- 19:02Speaker 7: just a lot of reasons I'm jealous of the Dodgers.
- 19:04Speaker 7: I don't think it's just show hey. I think it's
- 19:07Speaker 7: they're just really really good and world series expectations for
- 19:12Speaker 7: them are yearly.
- 19:14Speaker 6: I would like to be that way.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I believe we're going to be world champs someday, and
- 19:18Speaker 1: I think we're going to and we're gonna celebrate it wildly,
- 19:22Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But right now, I'm not
- 19:25Speaker 1: jealous that they're world champs because I think we're on
- 19:27Speaker 1: the right path. I think we will get there. But
- 19:30Speaker 1: I am jealous because they have show Hey. Number one,
- 19:32Speaker 1: he was we flirted with him twice, one significantly, and
- 19:37Speaker 1: then he's two, he's so damn great. And then number three,
- 19:41Speaker 1: I mean, he is a recruiter. He's the greatest recruiter
- 19:45Speaker 1: in baseball. And if you think that they're done getting
- 19:47Speaker 1: the best Japanese ballplayers to come to Los Angeles, Max Mounts,
- 19:51Speaker 1: he's a free agent. They haven't signed him. They're going
- 19:53Speaker 1: to get one of these third basemen that are going
- 19:56Speaker 1: to hit the free agent market as well. So, I mean,
- 19:58Speaker 1: it's just what they got with show Hey was a
- 20:01Speaker 1: lot more than just the name show Cavel, Gavel, Gavel,
- 20:04Speaker 1: Gavel Gavel.
- 20:07Speaker 5: I'm irritated, and that makes me jealous. It's coming from jealousy,
- 20:11Speaker 5: and yet it's, I guess, to some degree, kind of
- 20:14Speaker 5: what Ash is saying. It's the biggest the thing I'm
- 20:17Speaker 5: most jealous about is Otani just because of all the factors. One,
- 20:21Speaker 5: I would just love for him to be in America
- 20:24Speaker 5: uniform and be able to watch that. And I mean,
- 20:27Speaker 5: but even more so, it's the what it means that
- 20:30Speaker 5: he chose them over choosing us, whether or not we
- 20:33Speaker 5: were really in that or not, whether or not we
- 20:36Speaker 5: even came close to a number or it work the.
- 20:39Speaker 1: First time, we weren't the second.
- 20:41Speaker 5: Yeah, So I mean it's I'm jealous of the fact
- 20:43Speaker 5: that we're not even capable of playing in that playground.
- 20:48Speaker 5: I mean, but that's just the nature of the beast.
- 20:50Speaker 5: Whether people want to be irritated about the ownership and
- 20:54Speaker 5: their lack of spending at times, which is that's just factual.
- 20:57Speaker 5: There's nobody that should think, well, we should be like
- 21:00Speaker 5: the Dodgers. Dodgers are just bigger. They're they're they're the
- 21:04Speaker 5: the gold standard. I mean, most people think it's the Yankees,
- 21:07Speaker 5: it's the it's the Dodgers first, the Yankees or second
- 21:10Speaker 5: when it comes to who who's the boss, who makes
- 21:12Speaker 5: the decisions, who's gonna they're gonna kind of set the
- 21:15Speaker 5: standard for what things are. And I'm jealous that they
- 21:18Speaker 5: basically have a group of people, Magic and everybody else
- 21:22Speaker 5: that's in that ownership group.
- 21:23Speaker 3: It's just like, we.
- 21:25Speaker 5: We're okay with somehow deferring seven hundred million dollars because
- 21:30Speaker 5: we just know that when we just win championship and
- 21:33Speaker 5: then more championships and are constantly in this uh, this
- 21:36Speaker 5: window that they're in right now where it's it kind
- 21:38Speaker 5: of feels like must see TV around the world. People
- 21:41Speaker 5: are like, I love watching the Dodgers, watch Otani, watch
- 21:44Speaker 5: the rest of that crew. Then you find yourself in this,
- 21:47Speaker 5: it's probably going to work. Whatever business decision they've made
- 21:50Speaker 5: to kick the can down the road and defer all
- 21:51Speaker 5: these payments, it's probably going to work because whenever they
- 21:54Speaker 5: want to sell, it's gonna be like, all right, how's
- 21:56Speaker 5: fifteen billion dollars sound okay, Yeah, we can pay show
- 21:59Speaker 5: hey off now.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Yeah, after what we watched last night, the Commanders can't
- 22:04Speaker 1: beat the Seahawks without Jade and Daniels.
- 22:07Speaker 7: I do not think that the Commanders can beat the
- 22:09Speaker 7: Seahawks without Jaden Daniels. I just don't think that Mariota
- 22:14Speaker 7: is a strong enough quarterback. I don't think offensively they're
- 22:17Speaker 7: strong enough in general, if they're not being led.
- 22:19Speaker 6: By somebody who took us all by surprise last year.
- 22:22Speaker 3: We tend to.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Talk in absolutes in sports talk radio, and we probably
- 22:25Speaker 1: never should. I love that line that's in that new
- 22:29Speaker 1: Ford ad. Whether you think you can or think you can't,
- 22:32Speaker 1: you're right, Yeah, love that line. So certainly they can,
- 22:38Speaker 1: but I don't believe that they will. I don't believe
- 22:41Speaker 1: that without Jade and Daniels the Commanders beat the Seahawks.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Gavel, Gavel, Gavel, I am.
- 22:48Speaker 1: I don't think they beat him with him, but I
- 22:49Speaker 1: certainly don't think they beat him with them.
- 22:51Speaker 5: Well, speaking in absolutes part is where obviously I just can't.
- 22:54Speaker 5: I can't stand it. They can't beat Oh, yes they
- 22:57Speaker 5: can now if we just do. I don't think if
- 23:00Speaker 5: there's if they're minus Jayden Daniels, I don't think the
- 23:03Speaker 5: Seahawks have to go out there and play their best game.
- 23:06Speaker 5: But Sam Donold can't go have his worst game of
- 23:09Speaker 5: the season. I think you're gonna win. You can't go
- 23:11Speaker 5: out not be able to run the ball and cough
- 23:14Speaker 5: it up a couple of times or throw it to
- 23:16Speaker 5: the other team. You can't allow that. Uh, that what's
- 23:20Speaker 5: a Crockett they're running back Krosky. Yes, you can't let
- 23:25Speaker 5: him break a bunch of big runs. You got to
- 23:28Speaker 5: keep doing what you're doing. I think they just have
- 23:29Speaker 5: to take care of their business. If they're if it's
- 23:32Speaker 5: Marcus Mariota, you just do what you do, take care
- 23:35Speaker 5: of the ball, and you Yeah, you come out of
- 23:37Speaker 5: that game victorious.
- 23:38Speaker 1: All right, the next one. I'm sorry, but during any
- 23:42Speaker 1: soccer match shootout, you have to make at least three
- 23:45Speaker 1: or five.
- 23:46Speaker 7: Yes, there's no excuse. The advantage is in your favor.
- 23:50Speaker 7: The goalie is at a disadvantage. There's no way you should.
- 23:55Speaker 7: I mean, every once in a while, yes, you're gonna
- 23:57Speaker 7: guess wrong the goal, he's gonna guess right, and he's
- 23:59Speaker 7: gonna block it. You should never hit the post and
- 24:04Speaker 7: miss the goal entirely, like inexcusable.
- 24:07Speaker 1: It's hard for me to believe that you can miss
- 24:10Speaker 1: when you are in the MLS three out of five
- 24:13Speaker 1: shootout shots. So uh yeah, I just I can't live
- 24:17Speaker 1: with that one.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Gavel gabble gavel. So as a former goalie, I can
- 24:20Speaker 5: just tell oh, like this they position drop well yeah yeah,
- 24:25Speaker 5: well yeah, yeah, super raggadocious about my soccer game. I'll
- 24:32Speaker 5: just tell you that flat out, it was very rare
- 24:35Speaker 5: that you can stop one if a guy just can
- 24:38Speaker 5: put it on the ground over in the corner. If
- 24:41Speaker 5: you go top shelf over in the corner, no goalie
- 24:45Speaker 5: can get it because you can't. You're not supposed to
- 24:47Speaker 5: leave the goal line until they've kicked the ball. Yeah,
- 24:50Speaker 5: what so if you abide by the rules, so you cheat,
- 24:53Speaker 5: and most goalies do try to cheat, and then if
- 24:56Speaker 5: they actually make some magnificent block, the ref might be like,
- 24:59Speaker 5: you cheated, you left too early. So if you if
- 25:01Speaker 5: it's all done by the rules, all you have to
- 25:03Speaker 5: do is put it near the post, not I'm talking
- 25:05Speaker 5: like within like two feet with velocity, and they're not
- 25:08Speaker 5: going to get it, whether they guess right or not.
- 25:10Speaker 5: So yes, you have to put it on goal. If
- 25:12Speaker 5: the guy makes a spectacular save or cheats and it
- 25:15Speaker 5: doesn't get called, then okay.
- 25:17Speaker 6: But that's not going to happen.
- 25:18Speaker 1: But that's one time of the five.
- 25:20Speaker 5: Yeah, to make two out of five, you don't deserve
- 25:24Speaker 5: to win.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Did you see the one turn from Minnesota who It's
- 25:27Speaker 1: as simple as could be. There's a little white spot,
- 25:30Speaker 1: and you put the ball on the white spot, and
- 25:32Speaker 1: they probably will allow you to as long as it's
- 25:35Speaker 1: touching the white spot. But he tried to gain every
- 25:37Speaker 1: advantage he could, and he put it just before the
- 25:39Speaker 1: white spot. The official really have to come over and say,
- 25:43Speaker 1: you know, it's the white spot. Put it on the
- 25:45Speaker 1: effing white spot. And even then he was trying to
- 25:47Speaker 1: like get a quarter inch advantage now in a kick
- 25:51Speaker 1: that you should make nine out of ten times.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Well, that's the mind games part of it.
- 25:55Speaker 5: They did it to us too, like they would come
- 25:57Speaker 5: out and be like their goal is, like, hey, what
- 25:58Speaker 5: are you doing? That's past then, and then he would
- 26:00Speaker 5: tell him, hey, make sure it's touching that white thing there.
- 26:03Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden, sure enough got in
- 26:04Speaker 5: our guy's head and he kids crossbar last one.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Now that Aaron Levine is a Jeopardy champ, he will
- 26:10Speaker 1: likely never speak to us again.
- 26:12Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm glad we got him yesterday before we
- 26:14Speaker 6: knew he won.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's he was an arrogant, ticking time bomb.
- 26:20Speaker 1: He's just now that he's now that that wick has
- 26:24Speaker 1: been lit, he's just he'll never see.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Gabbled Gavel gavel.
- 26:27Speaker 5: Well, I'll say this if if the arrogance does begin
- 26:30Speaker 5: to run over, if you will. It hasn't hit him
- 26:33Speaker 5: yet because I've already texted with him. I told him
- 26:37Speaker 5: yesterday I know soccer goalie.
- 26:42Speaker 6: Yeah, now you text with it.
- 26:44Speaker 5: I actual scored a goal as a goalie one time
- 26:46Speaker 5: in soccer. Pretty amazing. Put that in your bromo.
- 26:51Speaker 3: But I do. I've already texted with him today.
- 26:53Speaker 5: They're having a little watch party because now that he's
- 26:55Speaker 5: won and everybody knows he won, he'll be on there
- 26:58Speaker 5: again tonight. Seventh He's on again, right in the middle
- 27:01Speaker 5: of the baseball game.
- 27:02Speaker 1: He sure played it off yesterday like he didn't fare
- 27:04Speaker 1: so well. I was convinced that we were all convinced
- 27:08Speaker 1: that in our meeting yesterday it must not have gone
- 27:10Speaker 1: very well. That a little snake and.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah he won.
- 27:13Speaker 7: I like that wan Jeopardy, I said before he went
- 27:17Speaker 7: on the air, I said, you are like the smartest
- 27:19Speaker 7: person I know. I can't wait to watch, and he
- 27:21Speaker 7: said exactly to me. Well, unfortunately they put a lot
- 27:25Speaker 7: of really smart people on that show.
- 27:27Speaker 1: I played you, oh yeah, and then I didn't even watch.
- 27:32Speaker 1: I mean, of all nights for the World Series ago
- 27:34Speaker 1: eighteen innings. Sorry Aaron watching.
- 27:40Speaker 6: I DVR did I was going to watch it today.
- 27:42Speaker 6: Spoiler alert, I'm still going to watch.
- 27:44Speaker 3: I just did well.
- 27:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't watch it until then all of a sudden,
- 27:47Speaker 5: the football game's over.
- 27:48Speaker 3: The soccer match.
- 27:49Speaker 5: Was over, and then it was like, okay, in between innings,
- 27:52Speaker 5: go see him, and he was he's really smart. Yeah,
- 27:55Speaker 5: he got a lot of stuff. I mean, I got
- 27:57Speaker 5: four right out of the total? How many is there
- 27:59Speaker 5: for questions? I got four? Is that I don't think
- 28:03Speaker 5: I would have won.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna have him play beat Bucky. If he
- 28:06Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna have the same luck and beat Bucky,
- 28:08Speaker 1: he's out of his mind.
- 28:09Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he's gonna.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Say those easy questions. You get there Martha's vineyard. Everybody
- 28:15Speaker 3: knows that.
- 28:16Speaker 1: What is third place?
- 28:20Speaker 6: You won't even get a sight.
- 28:21Speaker 5: Where does Aaron finish and beat Bucky?
- 28:24Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 28:24Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, one last thing next Sports Radio ninety
- 28:29Speaker 1: three point three kJ r f M. All right, one
- 28:42Speaker 1: last thing beforehand, things over to Chris Kidd and Mark
- 28:46Speaker 1: James in the midday.
- 28:47Speaker 3: What do you got over there?
- 28:48Speaker 1: Bucky?
- 28:51Speaker 3: The uh?
- 28:52Speaker 5: It was oh the you guys, I'm sure talked about
- 28:55Speaker 5: the whole gambling thing that went down the did you
- 29:01Speaker 5: mentioned it?
- 29:01Speaker 1: It wasn't a very big story.
- 29:06Speaker 3: It does make me.
- 29:07Speaker 5: I have one buddy that thinks every single sporting event
- 29:11Speaker 5: is rigged.
- 29:11Speaker 1: And yet he watches sports.
- 29:13Speaker 5: He's moving away from it because he's not much in
- 29:16Speaker 5: a conspiracy theorist dink. But I think, yeah, close, yeah,
- 29:23Speaker 5: we're super tight. But I just don't. I mean, I
- 29:27Speaker 5: think that there's a negative side, obviously to the gambling world,
- 29:32Speaker 5: and obviously it's trickling its way in. But I just
- 29:35Speaker 5: think the idea of the whole thing's fixed. Everything is fixed.
- 29:38Speaker 5: I saw a couple of people talking about, well, this
- 29:40Speaker 5: is what MLB wanted, is the Dodgers. I'm like, I
- 29:44Speaker 5: don't think that this is any of this rigged. If
- 29:46Speaker 5: you watched that game last night, it did not look
- 29:49Speaker 5: rigged in the slightest to me. It just felt like
- 29:53Speaker 5: the absolutely, yeah, yeah, good luck trying to get you
- 29:56Speaker 5: know what.
- 29:57Speaker 3: It ended up being fifty.
- 29:59Speaker 5: Guys or something that went out there and did a
- 30:01Speaker 5: choreograph dance for eighteen hours and then hey, thanks.
- 30:05Speaker 3: By the way for hitting that one out of the park. Freddy.
- 30:08Speaker 3: That was what a crescendo that was to wait eighteen
- 30:11Speaker 3: eges for that. I don't know, just was my way.
- 30:13Speaker 5: I wasn't here, and when I'm sure you guys talked
- 30:15Speaker 5: about that, and yet I had friends.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Talking about during our parties that we threw both days.
- 30:19Speaker 3: Oh, you had parties a lot of it.
- 30:23Speaker 6: Actually, bo Nicks came up to hang out.
- 30:25Speaker 7: Yeah. I wouldn't normally like you, but if you want
- 30:27Speaker 7: to come hang out while Bucky's out, yeah, Oh that's weird.
- 30:31Speaker 5: They would want to be here if I wasn't here.
- 30:33Speaker 6: He didn't even want to be on the air. He
- 30:34Speaker 6: just wanted to hang out and stare at us. Oh
- 30:36Speaker 6: that makes no sense, feel inspired?
- 30:38Speaker 5: Okay, all right, so we talked about it then, Oh okay,
- 30:41Speaker 5: well I'm glad that you guys talked about it, and
- 30:43Speaker 5: I understood that you guys would have.
- 30:44Speaker 3: I just think that it's really weird to me.
- 30:46Speaker 5: How now you get you see some people getting caught
- 30:49Speaker 5: and the next step for some people's Yep, they're all rigged.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Everybody's in on it.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I don't know why you would watch sports if you
- 30:56Speaker 1: thought any of it was real.
- 30:59Speaker 6: It would be the most agg evading thing to ever
- 31:00Speaker 6: put yourself through.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean certainly understanding that there are some malevolent elements,
- 31:08Speaker 1: yeah out there, certainly. But no, I don't know how
- 31:13Speaker 1: you could even watch sports or listen to sports talk
- 31:16Speaker 1: radio if you thought the slightest percentage of it rig No,
- 31:20Speaker 1: don't even get that.
- 31:21Speaker 3: I don't either, Ashley.
- 31:22Speaker 1: What's your one last thing?
- 31:23Speaker 7: Well, we're all adults here in this office, right, like
- 31:26Speaker 7: this is an actual well, like.
- 31:28Speaker 1: One of the three of us is.
- 31:29Speaker 7: Well, I'm saying the whole office right like it's in
- 31:31Speaker 7: the office of.
- 31:33Speaker 6: Older people, aged people. Right, We're not children.
- 31:37Speaker 7: We can we should be able to decide how much
- 31:41Speaker 7: water we would like on our hands and when we
- 31:44Speaker 7: would like it, and how much soap we would like
- 31:46Speaker 7: on our hands, and how many paper towels we would
- 31:48Speaker 7: like to use to dry our hands, dependent on size
- 31:50Speaker 7: of set hands.
- 31:51Speaker 1: They do restrict us. Why, Yeah, Like I get it,
- 31:55Speaker 1: and you can get more.
- 31:56Speaker 7: Yeah, but first of all, in the women's bathroom, you
- 31:59Speaker 7: just have to keep putting your hands under both of
- 32:00Speaker 7: them fifty times before the first dollop of soap comes out,
- 32:03Speaker 7: and by then the water's turned off.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Men's isn't any better.
- 32:06Speaker 6: Yeah, see how I just hit my SLP. I mean,
- 32:10Speaker 6: we are I get it in.
- 32:11Speaker 7: A public restroom right where you want to limit so
- 32:13Speaker 7: you're not having to make them clean up a mess
- 32:16Speaker 7: or whatever is happening there. In an office where we're
- 32:19Speaker 7: supposed to all be responsible humans. I think we should
- 32:22Speaker 7: be allowed to be responsible for how much water, soap,
- 32:24Speaker 7: and paper towels we need and when we need them.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I think I've told you this before, but my high
- 32:29Speaker 1: school principal my senior year, he took over and he
- 32:31Speaker 1: was really going to be He's really going to crack
- 32:33Speaker 1: down on everybody. And so there was one fight, like
- 32:36Speaker 1: two kids, two jerks got in a fight with the
- 32:39Speaker 1: soap in the bathroom, and so he said, that's it,
- 32:41Speaker 1: no more soap. Oh he got showed you. He banned
- 32:46Speaker 1: soap for almost an entire school year.
- 32:48Speaker 6: What an idiot.
- 32:51Speaker 1: That's the last thing if I was a high school
- 32:53Speaker 1: principle that I would ban.
- 32:55Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd be like extra soap for everyone.
- 33:00Speaker 1: My one last thing. We were talking a little bit
- 33:02Speaker 1: earlier about the greatness of Show Hey, and I mentioned that,
- 33:07Speaker 1: you know, we can't forget Babe Ruth, even though I
- 33:09Speaker 1: do think show has passed him. And we also can't
- 33:12Speaker 1: forget Barry Bonds either, and what he did in hitting.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Ricky Anderson is considered like the greatest on base machine
- 33:20Speaker 1: in baseball history, right, the lead off hitter, the game's
- 33:23Speaker 1: greatest lead off hitter of all time. He had a
- 33:26Speaker 1: four to oh one career on base percentage. His best season,
- 33:29Speaker 1: he had a four to thirty nine on base percentage.
- 33:32Speaker 1: That's his best year, four to thirty nine. Pretty impressive, right.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Barry Bonds had a six to zho nine on base
- 33:38Speaker 1: percentage in two thousand and four. He was on base
- 33:41Speaker 1: sixty one percent of the time. Yeah, sixty one percent
- 33:48Speaker 1: of the time major League Baseball while being care people
- 33:53Speaker 1: being careful with him, sixty one percent.
- 33:55Speaker 5: There's never been anybody, including Babe Ruth, I think that
- 33:58Speaker 5: was more on it than Barry Bonds was for that
- 34:02Speaker 5: little spurt of time. Oh that he I mean, it
- 34:05Speaker 5: was just figured. Yeah, he was as close to perfecting
- 34:08Speaker 5: as you can get. I mean, showyo, Tony is not
- 34:10Speaker 5: even the best hitter in the game right now, right, true,
- 34:13Speaker 5: but nobody's that is in that conversation.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Also shoves it on the mound.
- 34:19Speaker 1: True, Yeah, he's the best I've ever seen fifty to fifty.
