  Speaker 1: dot com the way tire buying should be. So the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: headline Boo the Brew, Boo the Brew the headline on
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: this It was game number two in the National League
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Championship Series. The Land of Darry and the Pesky brew Crew.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That's how they were built on the Marque. If you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: look at the Marquis, the Brewers build is that pesky
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: team looking to square things up against the big Blue
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: wrecking crew, the Boys in Blue. Now, I don't know
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if you watch this game or not. It was on Turner.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I watched so you would not have to and you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: didn't miss all that much. You did not miss all
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that much. Now, the story of the game was something
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that barely happens in modern baseball, something that has not
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: happened very much of the last decade in the sport
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of baseball. What is that dominate starting pitching yet again,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yoshinomu Yamamoto a three hitter for the first postseason complete
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: game in let me check my notes here, eight years.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It had been eight I barely remember, barely remember the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: last time this happened. So that's been a while. The
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Dodgers beat the pulp out of the once proud Brewers
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: five to one. They extend their lead in the NLCS.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It's a best of seven, not a best of five.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: It was the best of five. It would be much worse.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's not much better at best of seven. But Yamamoto
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with the gem the domination situation at a time you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: need to dominate. He dominated in Game two. And that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: comes one night after bro I'm risking my life, bra Yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell, I ain't playing unless I get mine. Went
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: out there and allowed one hit over eight shutout innings
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the game one two to one. Win.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I'm playing unless I get well.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: He got his and he's playing, and on this night, yeah,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm a moto. If you saw the game, you know
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, the crowd going wild there. Everyone had their
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: brew Crew gear on. They were fired up, they had
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of merch and I had won nothing. Lead
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Jackson Turio the home run of the first pitch of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the game the Brewers saw, and it was all downhill
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: from there. The Dodgers get some long ball support. Tailor
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Hernandez hit a home run. Max Munsey also had a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: ding dong, and you don't think of Max Munsey as
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: one of the great postseason players in Dodger history, yet
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: he now has the record for most career postseason home
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: runs for the LA Dodgers fourteen. The real drama, though,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was that there was no trauma. There was like no
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: one month game one. We had that moment right ninth
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: inning the Brewers were coming back and they did the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: thing you can't do at the time, you can't do it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That was some drama. That's good talk radio. On this night,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: there was not that moment. There was not that moment
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in this game. They mentioned the Dodgers fell behind early
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and once they got the lead, that was it. They
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: did not give up the lead. So the better story, though,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room, a gloomy Milwaukee Brewers
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: locker room. Despite the top record in the National League,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: one of the great seasons in regular season history, Milwaukee
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: at home the strange brew they are now zero for
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: two in this series. Now, Pat Murphy after the game,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: he was trying to put on a happy face there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He said, you guys might have counted us out, he said,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: He said, but I understanding, He said, ninety percent of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the times that are in this situation have not won.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: But but Pat Murphy said, this team has been counted
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: out a lot this year, and I think there's some
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fight left in them. Close quote. All right, So let
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question what the hell is wrong? What
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is wrong with Pat Murphy's Milwaukee Brewers. This is very
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Unbrewer like what we've seen from this team the first
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: couple of games. So my thoughts on this. I've got
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: missus Robinson, Apple Watch, and Rattlesnake, and we will combine
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: these three random things together and we are going to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: make some delicious cheese curds, is what we're going to make.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So a, it's like a magic show. It is like
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I want to see a magic show. It's like before
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you're Houdini. Not from Wisconsin, but there's a Harry Houdini
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: museum up in Appleton, and I have been there. My
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: brother lives there. It was his birthday, so I called him.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: We're talking about great things about Appleton, Wisconson, and he says,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: my brother does not have the sports gene. He's lacking
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the sports dean, and so he's but he tries to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: engage me with sports conversations. So he's like, oh, my Brewers,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know. It's like, yeah, I don't think he watched
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the game, but anyway, it's like a magic strake before
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: our eyes, before our eyes. There the Brewers look like
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: absolute feeble pushovers. It's the junior varsity versus the varsity.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: From what we've seen here, especially on offense, my god,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it's more like a late night infomercial how not to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: hit a baseball the Milwaukee brewerway. My man handled by
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Blake Snelling game one and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and game number two,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee hitters appear to be completely shell shocked, rattled overmashed.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what other words you want me to use.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It's not good. It's almost like somebody played a prank
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: on them. And the equipment manager said, we don't need
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the Louisville Sluggers anymore. Let's get rid of the Louisville sluggers.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Let's use those nerf bats. We'll use to see if
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: we can hit with those nerf bats. It's not going
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: well and they're not playing their game. We were talking
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: about the Cubs and the Brewers, and the Cub fans
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: are loving us. By the way, based on the feedback
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I'm getting, there is no better joy than shot in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: freude and the Chicago cub marching in Shata society. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not checked in with senior members like Tree or
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: your Femi, but some of the people that do listen
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in the Illinois and in the Chicago land area, who
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: are people send me emails on a random basis if said, well,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this is what the Brewers deserve. They put up that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: l flag, they mocked the Cubs. They've cursed themselves, they've
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: jinked themselves, the Milwaukee Brewers because when they took the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: photo after they beat the Cubs, apparently they had to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't see this the day it happened, but apparently
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: they held up a white flag with the blue l
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the sibil the signal loss and for the Cubs, so
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: their cub fans are very excited about this. But back
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to the case at hand. So the Brewer is not
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: playing their game, undisciplined at the plate, swinging, chasing pitches, swinging,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: trying to hit home runs. If you're going to try
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to out Homer the Dodgers that now, I didn't play
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: major League baseball, I just do an overnight talk sho.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good strategy, but what do
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I know, Maybe that'll work out for you. Not really
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: working the counts. The whole thing about the Brewers was
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: small ball, that they've got patience and all of that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: is just rubbish, absolute rubbish at this particular point, it's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: insomnia inducing it. I like the Dodgers. I'm not complaining
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: about it. I didn't expect the series to start out
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the way it is started. But it's like these guys.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: For the Brewers, they saw a ghosts or something like that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And the ghost name I actually know the name is
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: not Casper, it's not the stave puff marshmallow Man. The
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: ghost is named high spin Rate. Very scary, that ghost
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: high spin rate. They don't like it. The Brewers hitters.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I did the math on this. Now it's malor math,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: which may or may not be correct, but the malor
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: math on this. The Brewers Hitters, through two games in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the National League Championship Series are batting eighty six, which
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I believe is a highway in the Midwest eighty six.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: The offense has gone from feisty to absolutely feeble in
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: these first two games, and so we need to rewrite.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We need Paul Simon to rewrite Missus Robinson and that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: classic song where have you Gone? Robin Yaut and Paul
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: molletor Brewer's Nation turns its lonely eyes to you because
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the guy's currently playing. It's like a pirate term there
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: she blues, my god, Christian Yelich, William Contreras, two guys
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the Brewers lineup both oh for
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: seven combined. That's oh for fourteen. Now that the game
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: changing moment. And this kind of reminds me there was
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a World Series in the mid nineties and we're doing
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: some talk shows after random that just popped in my
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: head when I was watching Game two and thinking about,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: what's the moment here if this thing continues the way
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it's going, And the Podres played the Yankees, and it
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: was at Yankee Stadium. This is during the Joe Tory
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: years when the Yankees were winning World Series regularly and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: all that, and the Padres were like his upstart Nation
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: League team. I think it was the first inning. Mark
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Langston was on the mound. He was a pitcher for
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the Padres, and he threw a pitch that was clearly
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: a strike that was not called to strike. And then
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm doing this off my memory, I believe Tino
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Martinez then hit like a Grand Slam later in the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: bat or whatever, later in the inning, and that was
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like the end of that World Series. And it happened
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: very early in the World Series. Now this is obviously
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not the World Series, but the National League Championship Series.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: The game changing moment bottom of the ninth I go
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: back to Game one, Bryce Terrang failed to do the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: thing you were supposed to do at the time you
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: were supposed to do it. As I go back to that,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he pogo sticked out of the way, bases were loaded,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Brewers down by a run. The Dodger bullpen was on
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the ropes. They were on the ropes, and you tie
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the game. Even if you don't win the game in
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth, you're going the rest of
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the way against the suck bag Dodger bullpen. And the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: next pitch Bryce terrang after he dodged the hit hit
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: by pitch that would have scored the tying run. He
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: then swung at a pitch that even Victor Wembanyama of
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs is about ten feet tall, would
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: not have swung at. And there you go. So that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: was the Brewers moment until proven otherwise. There she goes
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: now on another page of this breakdown thorough in depth
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: team coverage, which is just me and my many personalities
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: breaking down the nationally Championship series. So is Yoshinobu Yamamoto's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: performance a feel good story for the Dodgers. The way
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it was being described on the TV broadcast, the Turner
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: broadcast made it seem like this is some kind of
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: amazing accomplishment that needs to be celebrated and everyone needs
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to just get up and toast Yoshinobu Yavamoto. So he
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was both wonderful. And my answer is no, this is
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: not some kind of feel good performance for or Yamamoto.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: You don't get a pat on the back. This is
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: my general rule of thumb, and you're free to disagree.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: You don't get a pat on the back for doing
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the job description that you signed up for. The only
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: thing that I take away from that performance is ROI
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: return on investment. That's it. The Dodgers got return on investment.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: They didn't just waste their time flying to Japan to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: watch the cherry blossoms, right, They went there to sign
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this guy. They gave him twelve years and a hunt
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and three hundred and twenty five million. That's a whole
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: lot of cherry blossoms. And they handed him the keys
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to Javez Ravine twelve year contract for a pitcher. And
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: so they didn't give him that money so they could say, well, gee, thanks,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: thanks for the effort. We're god you tried, We're glad
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you tried. No one, No, that's not it. They bought
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a symphony conductor. They needed a conductor of the symphony,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and Yamamoto provided that he was Beethoven's fifth in that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: game on the Mound at Cornucopia, of goodness and for once,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and let's make sure we don't save the tape on this.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm about to say this, but the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: nerds got it right in this game. They got it right.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts, who makes no real decisions, but the nerds
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: instructed Dave Roberts not to do the thing he would
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: normally do. And if it was the regular season and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yamamoto was pitching like this, Dave Roberts would have yanked
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: him out after five and the third innings out of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: an abundance of caution because his Apple watch, his Apple
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Watch would have said pitcher fatigue, Pitcher fatigue. Woo would
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: have lit up just like that oOoOO, pitcher fiftigue. But no,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: they let him pitch. Oh my god, one hundred and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: eleven pitches. Should we call in the Red Cross right now?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: One hundred and eleven pitches? O MG? Imagine that the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: first postseason complete game since cheating a one one thousand
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and two one thousand hole Justin Verlander in twenty seventeen.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So will Yamamoto now need terminator like surgeries? He You're
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: gonna have to have a metal part put into his
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: body to replace part of his arm. Now because he
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pitched one hundred eleven pitches. Inquiring minds would like to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: know developing hot dot dot dot now in a positive note,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: because I am Betty Brightside and I did not expect
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: this performance from the Dodgers. The bullpen in Game two flawless.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: It is amazing how good the bullpen is when they're
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: sitting there getting hemorrhoids watching the game. Holy cramp. Are
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: they good? They are really good. The key to the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Dodger bullpen is to not pitch the Dodger bullpen. They're amazing,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: all right, last word, quick ley, all right, So how
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: do you explain the Dodgers winning these games when they
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: are getting little to nothing from the big boppers? The
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: big boppers are not really boppin' in the Dodger lineup,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So do the math on this. Now. We mentioned the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Brewers having their problems, which are I mean, that's legendarily bad.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But there the Dodgers Shoel Tani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Bets in the first two games of the National League
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Championship Series on the road are batting one twenty five
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: against Milwaukee pitching. I know, Freddie Freeman at a home
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: runner Tony did have an RBI riby hit here in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Game two, but that is whack a doodle, is what
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that is. That's the nature of it. As John Sterling
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: would say, that's baseball, Susan. The Dodgers top hitters not
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: hitting there, and the Dodgers this is the issue though totally.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I totally understand why people are upseting. I mean, I'm
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: not upset, obviously, I like the Dodgers and all that stuff.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But the Dodgers will, like the United States Navy, by land,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: by sea, by air, whatever it takes, right, whatever it takes.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And this is why there's so much animosity. And this
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: thing's gonna get really ug that this continues for the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: playoffs and the Dodgers win two more games and then
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: beat Seattle in the World Series. It is I'm ely
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: gonna blow the top off. It's a tinderbox right now. Oh,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it's up so tired. They're running baseball. My god. Polite
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: society does not appreciate the monster mashing on the mound
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that's going on for the Dodgers. And they do come
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: in convoys like so the top guys aren't hitting the tail.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Hernandez gets some big hits and keyk Hernandez and this
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: guy and that guy and all that stuff. I'm telling you,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: if this continues, major League Baseball is heading towards a
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: point of demarcation here where the halves versus the have
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: notes and they are going to make it like Nascar.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: They're gonna put restrictor plates on what you can spend
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and how you can spend it, and they are going
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to de ball the Dodgers. So my advice to my
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: fellow Dodger Officionatos is enjoy this because in a couple
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of years there's gonna be a work stoppage and they're
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: gonna cut your balls off and you're gonna have to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: trade some of these guys. I'm telling you it's gonna
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: be ugly because the Dodgers are too good and people
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: are annoyed by it. It's also annoying that they don't
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: give a rats ass about the regular season. It's disgusting.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Makes me want to puke in my mouth that these
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: guys lolligag during the regular season and then just show
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: up in October and now here we go. All right, now,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is the NLCS over right? Is it over? Let's take
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the temperature in the room, but the temperature in the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: room is obviously luke warm. Is the champagne on ice
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, Well, not quite yet. And see the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: thing about this, and well, it certainly favors the Dodgers done.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It has happened in the past. There have been teams,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: granted not many, that have come back in this situation.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Until you get that final out of the closeout game.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: There is more work to be done obviously here and
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it's not over. There's a very fat woman somewhere who's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: warming up her vocal cords getting ready to sing here.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And the Dodgers they got Glass now coming in Game three,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and he's got major choke itis. And you know, they,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: from what I've been told by people out there, they're
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: afraid to pitch him on the road because he's not
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: that tough a guys, kind of a softy. So they're
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: going to pitch him at home. Hope then he'll be
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: okay there. So we'll see how that goes down. And
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: if they don't win Game three and then Altani doesn't
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: go more than six innings or something like that, they
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: got to go to the bullpen. Then the bullpen blows
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: up all of a sudden it's tied up. But the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: history says, well, it's not done done, but it's kind
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of done at this point. And if you look at it,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: since there is no such thing as momentum in baseball,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it's an eighty eight percent chance that tells you what
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: has happened, not what's going to happen. But the Brewers
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: have a golden opportunity. So if I was on the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Brewers side, the golden opportunities rather obvious. Here, you become
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: an all time icon if you can be on the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: team that comes back. There have been three teams in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the current format, the two three to two format, that
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: have been able to come back, and they're all iconic
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: baseball teams, depending how old you are. The nineteen eighty
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: five Kansas City Royal Steve Bye by Balboni, and you
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: think of George Brett, some of the legends, Mookie Wilson,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: not Mooki Wilson. That was Willie Wilson on that eighty
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: eighty five Royals team. In the eighty six Mets had
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Mookie Wilson, they had Lenny Nails Dykstra and legends like
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Darryl Strawberry, and they of course came back with the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Red Sox. And you look at the the Jim Laretz
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six Yankees against the Atlanta Braves, Labrett hit
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this massive home run. I think it was off Mark
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Wohlders if I remember in the nineteen ninety six World
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Series in Atlanta, and that's an all time moment for
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that era of Yankee baseball. And so you back a rattlesteam.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I heard this somewhere along the way. You back a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: rattlesnake into a corner and it strikes. Yeah, Now what
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: happens if you back a cornered brewer into a corner?
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: You know what happens. No, you ever heard of beer muscles? No,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you never heard of beer muscles. Beer muscles are a thing.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Might shotgun a couple PBRs and start throwing haymakers. Watch
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: out all right again? Just all takes one bad adding
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: from Glassnow, brewers win that game. Tony goes five innings.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: You got to the bullpend, Suzaki blows it, and all
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're dead up to too.

• 22:50
  Speaker 1: should be. So our lead this hour, we'll get back
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to the football. If you want to still yap about baseball.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: See you guys on a whole want still yap about baseball,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: You can stay there or call up and screaming, shout
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But our lead this hour is
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: from Cansa City, the home of the Ben Mather Chicken figures.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs are back, baby, The Chiefs are back after
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that win on Monday night against the Lions. However, that
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: is not the story from that game that people are
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: yapping about. It's still got legs. A couple days later
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: here after the Chiefs played a perfect game. Let me
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: repeat that for those of you a little slow in
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the back of the room. The Chiefs played a perfect game,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: zero penalties against the Detroit football team coach Andy Reid
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: was asked about his opinion on the referees performance that
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: do you think that Andy Reid a ripped the referees,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: said they should have called seventeen penalties against us, be
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: said the referees did a great job. Or see had
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: no comment. What do you think he said? Did you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: see what he said? Did you see his response? You
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: did not see his response? No, you did not, Okay,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: perhaps you perhaps you missed it. So Andy Reid gave
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: a measured response. Is the way I will describe it here.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, I thought the officials let the guys play.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I agreed with everything that went on.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Reid said, but you know what that means. But I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: thought they were very fair on how they did it. Okay,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: So that's the point they're made by Ady Reed. Andy
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Reid said that it was quote good for the fans. Now,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: based on listener feedback that I've gotten from the State
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of Michigan, they did not agree that it was good
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: for the fans. They did not agree with that, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: every penalty that went against the Lions impacted Kansas City's
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: offense and hurt the Lions offense or vice versa. So
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Reid's whole point to sum it up in four words,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: they let it play out, which I guess is five
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: because I had to they in there, but let it
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: play out worthy four words, so a level headed response,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: by which, of course, triggered the tinfoil hot crowd convinced
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: convinced that the NFL is rigging games for Patrick Mahomes
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. This is a story that pops up
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: just about every year on the calendar, same time about
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: every year. And here we are, so these fine individuals,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: salt of the earth, and some of you guys have
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: reached out to me who are in this cult, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you have said to me, hey, listen, the refs are
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in the tank with the NFL, obviously paid by the NFL,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and they're out to get anybody playing Kansas City. They
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: believe that the referees are apparently on speed dial with
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, and they text Taylor Swift between plays. It's like, hey, Taylor,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: should we call holding on the other team? No pass interference? Okay,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: we'll call passing firs? Why not holding? Well, we don't
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: want holding, we want passing first. Okay, we'll give you
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: pass in inference. Fine, there you go. Now some of
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you have pointed out a study done. I love that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: universities are doing studies on NFL teams and officials, the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: University of Texas l Passo. Hello to my homeboys working
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: in the factory there in El Paso. You know who
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: you are. So anyway, UTEP did a study which the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: findings this went from. This ended not last season, the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: year before, but in the study done by UTEP, the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: findings indicate, this is great that postseason officiating trends have
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: disproportionately benefited the Patrick Mahomes chiefs. In fact, a professor,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: doctor Spencer Barnes. Never heard of him. Not my doctor.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: He's not your doctor, doctor Barnes. So doctor Barnes said. Quote.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: The fact that postseason penalties consistently favored one frameise meaning
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, while similar dynasties showed no such pattern points
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: to the powerful role of financial incentives, financial incentives and
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: shaping supposedly neutral decisions. Close quote all right, So let
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the Esteem panel which you
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: are part of. Do you believe do you believe that
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: there is an NFL grand conspiracy to help Travis Kelcey
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. So on this one, I've got Buffalo
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Wild Wings, the Hair Club for Men, and Pillow, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: are going to make the greatest donut of them all,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the Apple Fritter donut, the greatest donut of them all. Now,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: first of all, to answer the question I wish I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: believe because it would be better as a talk show host,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I don't. I am not a believer. I'm agnostic on
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: this one. And here's why my problem and I can't
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: get past this. I've done too much sports talk radio.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I have done this job for many, many years. I've
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: been through a number of dynasties in sports and yapped
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: about them on the radio. And the one common denominator
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: through this entire journey in sportscasting has been team wins.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: A lot fans complain teams getting benefit of the officials
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: calling in their direction. So every dynasty gets painted by
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: people as being run by the Illuminadi. In this case
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: it's the NFL. But same thing happens in basketball. We
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: don't really get dynasties anymore in baseball. But when the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Yankees were winning and there was the belief that the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Yankees got every call. I was told by somebody that
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: played for the Yankees that they believe the guys on
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the Yankees believe at the old Yankee Stadium when George Steinbrenner,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: the old owner known as the Boss, when he was
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: in charge there, that they truly believed umpires were afraid
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of calling pitches on the border against the Yankees because
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: George Steinbrenner would raise Holy hell. But again that's perception
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: much like this we're talking about Kansas City here. It
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: happened also with the Patriots, and my brothers and sisters
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: who are Patriots fans know when they were winning, it
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, the NFL wants Tom Brady to win,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: they want Bill Belichick to win, and all that stuff.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And I go back so far the Dallas Cowboys. I
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: remember when the Cowboys used to win and they were like, oh,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the NFL officials are in the tank for the Cowboys
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: because they got the big stars in that era. Yeah,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and that was before social media was even a thing.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: That was just when we had sports talk radio and
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: fax machines and people were pumping up the tires on
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys back in the nineties, So it's not
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: some secret zebra cabal that gets together. Like the theory is,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: these guys all get together, they go to Buffalo Wild Wings,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and then Andy Reid is given a button and it's
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a direct line to the league officiating headquarters. So when
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: he's on his headset and he's covering his mouth because
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: he's got his play sheet, he's actually talking to the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: league office. Can we get a defensive holding on Team X?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Can we do?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: We can't? Can you give me? How about I want
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: an offensive holding? This team's driving against my defense. Can
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I get an offensive holding? We need that? Yes, sure,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: no problem, Andy, whatever you need. The reality is rather
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: simple and it doesn't make for great talk radio. But
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen, which is the meat and potatoes of
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: this particular era and really just the entire run with
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Mahomes taking over, since twenty eighteen, Cansa City is ranked
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: in the top ten in the top ten of accepted penalties,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: not the bottom, the top top ten. Now what does
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: that mean. That means if this is a rigged delio,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: if the NFL's rigging these games for Kansas City, the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: referees are doing a god awful job they're doing a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: terrible job of covering their tracks, right, the terrible job.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And Kansas City last I checked, and I've been there,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and I have friends in Kansas City. I love visiting.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: It's I've had a lot of fun when I've gone
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: there a few times over the years. But when you
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: go to Kansas City, right, it's not Manhattan. Now, if
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: you want Manhattan, there's a Manhattan Kansas which is you know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: good drive away. It's not the big Apple Manhattan. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not Los Angeles. It's not like
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: a top market. It's TV market number thirty one, TV
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: market number three. It you don't build a villain empire
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: in the shadow of Wichita. You don't do it. No
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: one would do it. And as for the UTEP study,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And I used to love studies. I used to talk
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: about a lot on my podcasts they do on the weekends,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast. And I learned over the years
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: at some point I had an epiphany, and I realized
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: that you have to look at who pays for the study.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: You have to look at who's doing the study, because
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: it's often it's not on the up and up. I
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: used to think those things were all on the up
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and up everything was kosher. It's not so. But anyway,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: this one, the UTEP study, I dug into it a
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: little bit, leaned into it. And the postseason flags they
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: said lean heavily towards Kansas City during the Mahomes era.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And they connect the dots and it's like there's a
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: conspiracy and it's like they've got their their corkboard up
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: and they're connecting yarn to different things and they're like, well,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: there you go. They get their flash light and they
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: don't even have a flashlight. They have the light on
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: their head. You know those lights you put on your
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: head when you're looking at crawling on your body, trying
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to crawl through the underside of your house or something
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: like that at two in the morning. But this is
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the same tired VHS tape that they dusted off when
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was getting whistles, And I buy that more
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: than this. Like the NBA Hey and with David Stern,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: that was his playbook. We got stars. We want the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: stars to get calls. And a foul against Michael Jordan
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: is not the same call against Joe Blow on the bench.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: It's just not Uh, there were hockey people. When I
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: saw Wayne Gretzky play and people said, wow, Wayne Gretzky.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: You know, when Wayne was breathing near the blue line,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: there was an official there skating around with a with
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a whistle. It's not collusion, right, It's not collusion. It's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: success envy. That's what I call I call it success envy.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: And you know what they say, you know say there.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: The saying is that when you reach the very top
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: of the mountain, you've worked your entire life in sports
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and you get to the very top of the mountain,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: many people assume that you got there on a ski lift.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: You didn't climb the mountain. You just took the You
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: took the easy way to the top of the Right now, secondly,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I am contractually obligated by the powers of the Beat
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to mention the Dallas Cowboys every so often. So we'll
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: do that right now. To Dallas we go, where despite
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the horrific defense, the struggles of the Cowboys defense, they
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: blow this season. Jerry Jones remaining very confident in his
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: embattled defensive coordinator Matt eberflus Now during his weekly radio show,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: which the editing department here Fox Sports Radio deemed not
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: worthy of recording on During that Jerry Jones said, Matt
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Eberflus is someone quote I want in the fox hole
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: with me. That's a quote. Jerry also explained that he jumped,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: jumped at the up. You think Jerry's ever jumped at
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: anything maybe like a hot blonde in like nineteen ninety,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: but not recently anyway. So during his weekly radio show,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Jones said that you know he wants you know, he's
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: a foxhole guy. That was his line, and he said
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: he jumped jumped a higher Matt Eberflus and said he
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you know, this is the guy that I wanted this
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: offseason to to run the defense and have not changed
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: my position after six games. And he was pumping the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: tires about all the adversity that Matt Iberflus has been
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: through and all that bull crap. All right, question how
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: much stalk? How much stalk do you put in Jerry
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Jones giving a vote of confidence, the dreaded vote of
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: confidence the Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. So normally, and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm about to saying, like normally, this
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: is the kiss of death. You are cooked. It is
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: dun skis right. That's the kid kiss of death, like
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the he's our guy speech. We've all heard it. It
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: happens right before a piano drops on top of your
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: head from the third floor cob boom, see you later.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Now in Dallas, though it's different, My read on the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: room in Dallas is a little different because Jerry's doing
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: what Jerry always does. He's making this about him. I
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: do a YouTube show called Benny Versus the Penny with
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a guy who also makes it all about him, so
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I know the all about him person. I know the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: all about the person. I do that show with a
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: little less financially well off than Jerry Jones, but nonetheless
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: all right. So if Jerry says I am going to
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: give the excommunication message to Matt everfuls, I'm gonna kick
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: him out of the Dallas Cowboys, right, get rid of him, Well,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: he's not just admitting Jerry Jones at that point. He's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: not admitting that the defense stinks. It's more than that,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: he's admitting I screwed up. I'm a bad GM, I
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: hired the wrong guy. That's on me and what I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: know about Jerry Jones. This is a hair club for
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: men's situation, the great line from Walt Frasier, no play
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: for mister Gray. Jerry's not going to allow that to right.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: He's I'll hold on to a mistake. He's gonna hold
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: onto this mistake longer than a bad real estate investment,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: just so he does not have to do the walk
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: of shame and admit now that job by me. If
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: up and the numbers don't lie, they don't. The Cowboys
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: are dead last, at the very bottom the sewer in
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: total defense. They're dead last against the past twenty eighth
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: against the run. They've given up thirty point seven points
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: per game, thirty point seven points per game. They tackle.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, watch all these Cowboy games. It looks
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: like they tackle like they're wearing those inflatable sumo suits.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: It's very hard to move around a lot of plotting.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. And I'm not a Cowboy fan. In fact,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I enjoy this because it's good for what I do.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I enjoy with you. The Cowboys defense, even with the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons trade, right, well, there's enough there, there'll be
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: somewhat competitive and all that. So, and Jerry, he really
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: wants to show the world. Yeah, when that guy dan
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Quinn who's now coaching in Washington, and they've had some success.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: They didn't play well this week the Commanders, but they've
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: had some success. And what is I'm fine, I don't
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: need dan Quinn to be my defensive courtera. So he
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: got the guy and so there you go, Matt Ibraflus
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And so the Cowboys build is America's team. The Dallas
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Cowboys America's team, and right now they're America's turnstile is
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: what they are. Yeah, he was running right by. If
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver, there's no resistance. If you're a
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: running back, congratulations, you're gonna get four yards downfield before
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: there's any kind of contact. And Ibraflu's presiding over a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: defense in Dallas that is they're getting cooked like they're
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: chicken at Applebe's. It's bad. And it's not just the numbers.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: The eye test not good either. There's no bull rush.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of bull crap from Jerry Jones, but
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: there's no bull rush. And the unit has about as
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: much toughness as a pillow fight at summer camp. Right,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: and some teams worry about the red zone. They're like,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: oh man, the red zone Dallas. It's got a hole
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: in the ozone the ozone layer there for the Cowboys.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It's not good. So Jerry giving a vote of conference.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Normally we say, well that's it, that's ebra Flus is done.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: But again that this is not about the football, even
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: though the Cowboys defense sucks, it's about saving face for
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and that's why the Cowboys are. That's where
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: they are, all right, final thought, to Boston, we go
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: to Boston, we go and forever cheating Astro and Red
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Sox third baseman Alex Bregman a notorious scoundrel in baseball history.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: So Alex Bregman pulled the ripcord and is going to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: test free agency for the second consecutive year. The news
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: came out prior to the NLCS game Dodgers and Brewers.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Bregman is exercising the op doubt. He's entering into the
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: transfer portal. He opts out of what's left of a
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: three year, one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. He'll
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: go to market try to get more money. The deal
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: included an opt out this year. There's also a player
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: option in twenty twenty seven. So quickly, what is your
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: reaction to Alex Bregman forever a cheating astro hitting the
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: eject button on the Red Sox contract after one season.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: So this was baked in to the contract. It was
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: baked into the contract. And stop me if you've heard
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: this one before. I'm pretty sure you've heard this one before.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: But Scott Morris and I'm gona use this term because
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I use it the other day, but it applies here.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: It's a my Pillow special. We said it when the
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: contract was announced for Alex Bregman with the Red Sox.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Will say it again here that this contract was what's
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: known in the industry as a pillow deal. That Bregman
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: sucked at a time he cannot suck. He was not
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: that good at the end with the cheating aim holes,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: and so he didn't get the offer he wanted for
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: that and some other reasons. And so the pillow deal
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: was a soft landing, big money, total control by the player.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: It's a Scott Bora special. So Boris gave Bregman that
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: one year window to go to Boston, polish the apple,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: if you will flip it for another massive contract, go
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: back to the market and see what you can get.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: And he wasn't in Boston, the plant roots. Now there's
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: a chance he goes back if the Red Sox meet
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: his asking price, but he doesn't care. He'll go anywhere.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: He's got no moral compass, He'll go anywhere. And so
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: he was there kind of renting. You know. It's the
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: kind of place where you rent and you leave the
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: dishes in the sink and you just go somewhere else here.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I'm done with this place. I'm out of here. And
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Bregman did not exactly like the world on fire. The
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: first half. He was okay, it was actually pretty good.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: The first half of the baseball season, made the All
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Star Team. The second half. Cover your eyes, hover your
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: eyes bat a swan dive, swan dive for Alex Bregman.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: After the All Star Game, his power numbers went down
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: thirty six percent. He was a two point fifty hitter,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay that guy thirty five forty million
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: dollars a year and he couldn't even hit it Finway.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons Bregman went to Boston was because
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: everyone hits at Finway Park, right everyone feast. It's a bandbox.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: And Bregman batted two forty six at Finway and hit
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: six home runs all year? What happened to the launching pad?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a launching pad when he was up there,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and so you know he's stunking a time. He can't
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: snak and then so if you can't thrive there are
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: you're gonna thrive anywhere? Does he need trash cans? Does
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: he need a buzzard? Does he have to go back
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: to his happy place in Houston? And you mix in
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: that's the other thing, like we know cheating as Sjo
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Carlos Carea was traded back to Houston, Like that's really
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: the only spot. I guess that in the Blue Jays.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Toronto doesn't care. They got that cheater springer and their outfield,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: but Houston. Back to Houston for Bregman, who says, now
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: there's a cloud. There is a cloud following him around,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: a black cloud. The cheating thing does not go away.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: And you know that's true. You know that's true. Right,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: tattooed with baseball cooties. He's got the cooties, yep, got
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: them yep. And you can hear the boos still every
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: ballpark you go to other than Houston, right, you get
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: the booze and all that stuff, and so the villain
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: act it doesn't age well. And that's the other problem.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Bregman's not a pitcher, he's a position player, and he's
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: going to be at the very end of his athletic prime.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: He turns thirty two next season. Good luck. So you're
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: gonna pay somebody for what they have done, not what
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: they're going to do, and you're gonna hand that guy
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: a long term contract. And he's one of the more
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: hateable people in the sport of baseball. So good luck, buyer, bewareing.

  Speaker 5: Bill Belichick opened his media session on Monday by saying
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: that reports of him negotiating a buy out with North

• 44:24

  Speaker 1: No?
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Of course not no, No.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: They just haven't worked out the details on that. It's
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: it's an absolute mess. And Belichick doesn't have anything else
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: lined up. Of course, you don't believe Bill Belichick, And
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you know it's not correct until it's correct, and then
• 44:41

• 44:50
  Speaker 5: SA ays he will be returning to Philly in twenty
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: twenty six.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Do you think keeping Thompson was the right move?
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, because he's not doing anything like all these other managers.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: So it's like the Yankees, the Dodgers. They keep all
• 45:00

  Speaker 6: It's time for love here on the Ben Mallers Show.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: And you know, sometimes we like to start with a
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: little snippet of love knowledge around here.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have something? Yes, you do have something.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Rain has something here.
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: Do not fall in love with figments of your imagination. Okay,
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: the person on TV, the woman on the radio, she
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: is not your soulmate. She's probably you probably wouldn't even
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: get along on a regular basis.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: And you know what the line though, it's the magic
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: of radio TV.
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: But also when actually building a relationship with someone that
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: you want to be with, you have to take time
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: to get to know them, right. Well, no, some guys don't,
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: you know, and then they end up divorced and unhappy
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: and with a child and you know, broken home.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: So don't do that.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: Take time to get to know your person in person.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to say.
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, unless you live a million miles away, and that's.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: What you like. Okay, qualifier on it. I got you.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: These are actual questions by actual listeners. Fir Dog writes
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: in says, do women like it when men order for
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: them at a restaurant. I always do. I saw a
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: question there from I hate ordering food, by the way.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I I'd rather just cook it home and not have
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: to order.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, if you know exactly what your woman
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: likes to eat and she doesn't like to speak, that's
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: one thing. But just it almost sounds controlling to me personally.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, look at you.
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: She's gonna have the salad. No, she doesn't want a vodkatonic.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: She'll take a wine, white wine. The red's gonna die
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: your lips, honey. No, we'll take the white wine for her.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah, that's what it seems like to me. Okay,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: could be thoughtful. Can you've been in that situation before?
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's a little personal reference there. No, no, no,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: But this is just an idea, Just an idea. I
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: one of your favorite callers here, Mike the Leprechaun, writes,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and he says, would you frown upon a partner who
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: can't do any handyman work around the house, the air conditioning,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: clogged toilets, et cetera, or even the bedrooms?
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: Actually I do frown upon those things. I love it
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: when a man can like fix things. It's so awesome.
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: I used to have a huge crush on my manager
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: at Red Robin because he would fix everything.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, that is so attractive. Was he good
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: looking or no? No, not at all. Okay, all right,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: see there you go. If you're ugly, just be good
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: at fiction.
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: You can be good at other things. There's other things
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: that you can find attractive about a person.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: It's all right, very nice. Let's take a call. And
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: who else but Lucky Tony has called up from What's up?
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: He's always getting Lucky help.
