• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour standel SPANDLE Radio. Have you
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: heard the latest on the Bay Area? No, you have not.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Some new revelations in the story that has wrapped the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: football nation unless it's not about the crash test dummy
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: head coach And if you have not been following this,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: this is interesting. It's not getting a lot of play.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I wonder why could it be? The NFL controls all
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the media. Could that be? Unfortunately, we're not part of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the mainstream establishment media. We're on overnight and as I've
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: pointed out before, there are two types of radio. There's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the daytime radio six am to six pm. They get
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: paid more money and they're pretty corporate. Nighttime radio is
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a whole different world. It's a small world. After all,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it's a small, small world, but it is really small
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: when you're not doing the mainstream. So here's the latest.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Let me give you the latest on this. I'll give
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you the thumbnail recap on this. We've learned that the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: pal Alto Police have decided they will not will not
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: release the bodycam footage, nor will they release the nine
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to one to one call or the accident report from
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the non fender bender. It was more than that, more
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: than that of forty nine er coach and reckless driver
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, that July fourteenth car crash, which we didn't
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: find out about, well, nobody found out about it for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: almost two weeks after it happened. So the cops in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the Bay Area are helping out Shanahan. The department told
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: TMZ that all materials related to the crash are quote
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: exempt from disclosure. Really they claimed it was under the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: California Public Records Act, the People's Republic of California. Now
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a spokesperson said that nothing will be released related to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: this particular accident. Really wow. Interesting. All right, So that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: We'll keep it simple. Where are you at on the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: police refusing to release the Kyle Shanahan body cam footage
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and the nine to one one call and the accident report. Everything,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it's all been hushed hushed, everything involved in this. So
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: my thoughts on this. I've got Clorox doctor and Mayo clinic,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and we'll combine all of these things together. We're gonna
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have some garlic fries and a little sour dough bread.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: We'll have well mix those together. So a on this story.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And I want to be very clear for those of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you in the back of the room, they're not paying attention.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Bad job by you. Get off your phone. All right,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: here we go. I am wearing a brand new cap.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's a new era cap. It's a limited edition cap.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's a size eight. It's a tinfoil hat cap is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: what it is. And I'm one of the few that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: have it. Now. I am part of the Connect the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Dots crowd, all right, and just use common sense. As
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the line goes, common sense is not common anymore. Just
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: use the Connect the Dot logic. So the forty nine
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: ers sat on the Kyle Shanahan car accident for almost
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: two weeks eleven days. That allowed the pr people and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the clean up crew, if you will the fixers to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: come in, they had ample time to spoon feed a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: tidy narrative. Now, first you have a convenient clerical error
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: which assigned fault to the other driver, the twenty one
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: year old lady there, young lady. Then, once public records leaked,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Shanahan seemingly very graciously stepped up to the dais and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: confessed that he just dropped his phone. It was on me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Bad job by me. I dropped my phone. Now, if
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the facts validate his story, and you'd say, well, there's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: no reason not to believe him. He said it. So
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: if he said, hey, I did it and this is
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: how it happened, and the facts validate that, let me
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: ask this, why run a chlorox bleach factory over the evidence,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: over the bodycam footage, the nine one one call, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the accident report. Why would you pour clorox bleach all
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: over there? So now keep in mind that the local
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: police flat out refuse to release this stuff, like they said, Hey,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to quote some vague California you know rule
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and all that, and exempt from disclosure for the nine
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to one one call, the bodycam footage and all that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: They are pretending that they don't have to give it out. Uh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: when you obviously can give it out. You just redact
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: certain things like that that does exist. You can redact
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: certain things that are not supposed to get out. Uh.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And since when when does a public agency act like
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: an extension of the forty nine ers legal department? It's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: very very odd. Mind, if you pay attention to like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: news stuff, they release bodycam cops all the time, released
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: bodycam footage of homicide cases where people get killed, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they will not show bodycam footage of an NFL coach
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: getting into an accident. So if somebody gets assassinator or
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: whateveric murdered, what are we gonna call it? That's on
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the internet. Kyle Shanahan getting into an accident, Well, that's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that's we just can't go there. I hope you understand.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Out of an abundance of caution, we just can't go there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It's like double wowsers. So here's my position, until proven otherwise.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I believe there is a coordinated narrative, a corrective narrative
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that is brought to you by the NFL slash police
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: industrial complex protecting their golden boy head coach, which makes
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you wonder what really happened, Because again, if Shanahan came
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: out and said, listen, I did it, I'm the guy,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: blame me. Bad job by me. Okay, fine, simple done,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'll move on. Just show the stuff. It clearly must
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: validate what he was saying. If it doesn't, what you mean,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: he's lying? Oh, coaches never lie? Are you kidding me?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You think a coach would lie? What's wrong with you?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Staying in the Bay Area. High Speed Sports Wire, High
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Speed Sports Wire, we have a wide receiver on the move.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers have shot their shot. Wide receiver
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: d Bo Samuel has a new home, and his new
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: home is his childhood home. What kind of at least
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in the NFL his old home. As we've learned that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is returning to his roots, the forty nine
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Ers get him on a one year contract worth up
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to seven million presidents. Now the move comes as the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: San Francisco football team, which plays not in San Francisco
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, deals with an injury Ricky Piersoll that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: remember the guy that got shot a couple of years
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: back and came back and played and all that, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Ricky Piersoll. The twenty twenty sixth season is in doubt
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: because of lingering knee injuries, which I am sure are
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: because of that electrical plant near the forty nine er facility.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: That's why he got hurt. It's not because football players
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: get hurt. It's because there's an electrical substation where the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers practice, and that's why Ricky Piersoll hurt
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: his knee. So that's where we're now. Before the twenty
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: twenty five season, you might remember there was a loggerhead
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: situation between the San Francisco football team and Deebo Samuel.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He wanted out, he got traded, Gezway went to a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: team called the Washington Commander's kind of a lame name
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: for a fifth round draft pick, and he reworked his contract.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: There you go. So now he's back. So the question
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: here it is how do you categorize Debo Samuel returning
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers. So there's only one way
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to categorize this. It is a total humiliation situation for
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: everyone involved. A classic NFL walk of shame with the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: head down. You know what I'm talking about. You got
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the head down, you got the hoodie up. Hoping nobody
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: recognizes he got the glasses on. While you're wearing sunglasses,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's nighttime. I just like to wear sunglasses. Deebo genuinely
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: fought the forty nine ers were holding the man down.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He was the man. The Niners were holding him down,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and he figured he could go off down the dusty
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Winnemucker Road, off into the wild blue yonder and find salvation.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And so he went to the team formerly known as
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the Redskins. And how did that go? Oopsie with a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: capitol low so here in twenty twenty six, it turns
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: out the league was not exactly banging down his store.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: What is my evidence? Training camp has started and now finally,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: after a few days of camp, Deebo found a job.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: He's thirty, which is pretty young, but in sports it's not.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And if you watched any of his play, not just
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: last year, he was so wow. I was not a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: great year last year in Washington for Deebo Samuel, he
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't that great. The last couple of years with the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers visibly has slowed down, and he gives
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: you a reduced yards after catch, fewer broken tackles, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that explosiveness just admitted, and it really a one year wonder?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Can we all agree on that? To Deebo Samuel, he's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: had some big games. He kills the rams a lot,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: but most of the time it's just just like one
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: hit that's it. At one magical season and that's all.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: And so now he's back in Santa Clair, crawling home
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: like Doctor Seus's character Kat in the Hat, except this
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is a wet cat in the hat at the doorstep,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: showing up at the team facility saying, hey, hey guys,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: remember me? Yeah, yeah, I can I crash here for
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a year. I'll drive Shanahan around so you didn't get
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: more accidents. I'll be his designated driver. No, okay, we'll
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: see what Kyle Shanahan does there. The forty nine ers
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: welcoming Deebo Samuel back like a roommate who moved out,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: very angry, you know that angry roommate then realized, boy,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: rent's kind of expensive. I don't want to pay that rent,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: so I'll returned to your place at that sad looking
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: duffel bag suitcase thing of a jig, and then that
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was it? All right, last word? We now go to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the Bayou? Why because money, money money. Yeah, you see this. No, okay,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: these Saints have said, hey, we suck, but we might
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: as well pay somebody. So Wide receiver Chris A. Lave
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: has gotten paid a four year extension worth up to
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you know, that's a weasel term, up to one hundred
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and thirty two million. It's really ninety million guaranteed, which
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound bad after taxes. Now he's in Louisiana, so
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it's not quite as bad as it would be in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: California or New York, but still ninety million dollars guaranteed.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: After the taxes and the federal taxes, local and federal.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: He'll probably go out out of there with like nine
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: dollars when he's done, so good for him. The deal
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: averages thirty three million per year, and that means Survey
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: says that Chris Olave has now tied with DK Metcalf
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for the sixth highest annual salary. I know you're very
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: concerned about the finances of the past catching world in
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Alave will still play under the fifth year
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: option this upcoming season. The extension does not kick in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: until the following year, so some bookkeeping on that and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that ninety million guarantee matches. Garrett Wilson also plays on
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: our dog food team, the Jets, and the six month
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: guaranteed money at that position. Okay, so the question, here's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the question. Is Chris Olave getting ninety million dollars guaranteed
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: because he's a superstar superstar or because the Saints literally
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: had no one else to write a check to and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: they had they just had to write a check to somebody.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So as Andrea the astrology insider would say, the stars
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: aligned for Chris Olave. And by stars I mean the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: salary cap floorboard New Orleans. Not exactly building a contender.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: They're stuck in the middle. You don't want to be
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: in the middle. They're just checking boxes. So the league
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: accountant doesn't call welcome to a little village. I call
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: mediocre meadows. Yeah, mediocre medals. That is where a Lave's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: deal is just a shiny lawn ornament and he gets
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: paid good for him and his guy's gotten open a lot.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Not the greatest yackety yack guy. In fact, he's very
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: low in yards after the catch, and his resume reads
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: like that of a Mayo clinic souvenir hospital punch card.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It's in the gift shop at the Mayo Clinic. Oh,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I get a souvenir Mayo Clinic Hospital punch card. Well,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that's just what I wanted. Great between four plus I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: believe it's four plus concussions. He remember a couple of
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: years ago he was contemplating retirement because of the concussions.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: He had a blood clot in his lungs that doesn't
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: sound good, and has yet to play an entire season.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: So there's some issues with the D word durability. That's
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: not just a concern. The durability is pretty much non existent.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: So hey, it's not my money, it's not your money.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And you know they can do it, and we can
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: goofund them and it's fun to goof on them. So
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I'm happy they go marching in to do this year.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Handing elite money to a high risk wide out without
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a proven long term quarterback. Aw shock. They don't have
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that long term guy that's established, and so what are
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you doing? You're not really building the team per se.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's wish casting. So and I'm not saying o Lave
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: is bad. He's not. Chris Olave is a good player.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: He's not a great player. And as the line goes,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the Saints can win six, seven or eight games, whether
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Chris Olave plays wide receiver or my fat ass plays
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: wide receiver.
• 15:28

  Speaker 1: It's baseball, Susan, and it's all it is. So we
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: start out in Detroit, the Whisper campaign continuing regarding the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: future of the ace in the hole for the Tigers
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: in a big time hole. There if you've not been
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: paying attention, the trade deadline, which used to always be
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: on July thirty first, which is today this Friday, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: on Monday, so you have the weekend. One thing I've
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: learned about these professional sports leagues over the years, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I remember this one I did my website. They don't
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: like to work. The league office do not like to work.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They're all in Manhattan. They don't want to work on
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the weekends. They do not want to work on the weekends.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: The weekends is their time. They play games on the weekends.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Mind you, any kind of ruling, any kind of adjudication
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of the rules, or having the League office having to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: go over financial situations, they just don't want to work.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: They want to be in the Hamptons on the weekend.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: They don't want to be bothered. They just don't want
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to bother. So the trade headline is on Monday and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the latest on this Detroit is expected to say bye
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: bye to their two time s young winner at Trek Schoobel,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: as he will be going outbound from Detroit. And you've
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: got the Dodgers, the Brewers, the Tampa Bay Rays ha ha,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the Yankees Cubbies who are supposedly window shopping. The Atlanta
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Braves also have been mentioned as a possibility. Now we
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: have learned though the latest scuttle, But we have learned
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: that the Dodgers are the first preference of Terrek Schouble
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: when he enters the market into free agency. That being
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: passed around and bouncing around the pinball machine here is
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that Terrek Schougble is eyeing the Dodgers as a free agent.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Of course, there's a lot of moving parts, including a
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: labor stoppage that will start December one, so good look
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: on that. It's a good jumping off point. Let us
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: discuss the question for Old Man River. They're in Florida.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Terrek's Schooble would prefer to sign a long term deal
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. Why are people seemingly pretending that this
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: is a surprise that there are people I don't believe that.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: That's not right. Why would you want to go join
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers? That makes no sense my observation. I got
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Mark Twain, Jenga and Burger King, and we will combine
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: all of these things together, and we are going to
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: play the one two three and the ABC game is
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna play. We always start, though, you know
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: where we start, number one, number one one one one
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: one one one number one. Steamroll, I stop steamroll through this.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So there's a certain subset of our fellow human beings
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: people who are acting gobsmacked about this wrinkle. I find
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it adorable. I find it absolutely adorable. It's like those
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: people that are shocked that their date would prefer to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: go to a place like No Boo over Applebee's, Like, really,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: come on, now, why why would you be surprised by
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: us who wouldn't trade uh the life they're in for
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: if you're a baseball player for money, sunshine trees, beach living,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: and a franchise that does not treat October like it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a haunted house. The Dodgers, for better or worse, operate
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: in an MLB plus world, unlimited deferred payments, zero ads
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: for the players. They fly their players around on their
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: own private planes so they don't have to be around
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the unwashed support staff. Do you understand how spoiled these
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a holes are on the Dodgers. Schoobl's just trying to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: get on the Otani pension plan. I believe Otani will
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: be paid until the sun burns out. That's how much
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: money he's going to get over the years. And from
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: LA's perspective, he immediately would slot right at the very
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: top of the Dodger rotation. I keep hearing how great
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the Dodger rotation is, how amazing it is, and all
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: this stuff, and they have a great records, that's wonderful.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: The reality is going into a playoff environment. There's one
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: guy that you trust right now in that rotation that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you can depend on, Yoshinobu yam and that's it. That
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: is all sho hail Tani's a wild card. He's dinged up.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: There's no guarantee he'll be able to pitch, and if
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: he does pitch, you'll pitch. Well, there's no guarantee on that.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And the Dodgers are literally burning about sixty million dollars
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: on Blake Snell. Bro, I ain't playing unless I get mine. Bro,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: guess what he's your update to somebody? Bro, I ain't
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: playing and I got mine. What a schmuck that guy is?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And Tyler Glass now the class man, two unreliable turk
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: burgers who they can't depend on in the playoffs. They
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: keep it well, Snell's coming back, Glass now will be back. Really,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you want to bet on that Dodgers almost lost the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: World Series because of Blake Snell. Every game he pitched
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in they lost. The guy sucks. The guy sucks, and
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Scooball he would fix that. You would have a good
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: one to two punch with Yamamoto and Scooball at the top,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and then whatever else you get out of those other
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: pitchers is fine. And it's always the block, the block,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and he blocked. I remember years ago the Dodgers traded
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: for a guy named Jim Tolmy, a designated hitter. This
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: is back when the National League didn't have the designated hitter.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: What are you doing well? They traded for him because
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they were worried he was gonna go to a rival
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: team they were fighting with to get into the playoffs.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: So they just got him, really not to play him,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: just to keep him from going to the team. So
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: he didn't burn them near the end of his his
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: big league career. But in school, if he ended up
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: like the if the Brewers got this guy, oh my god,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: if the Brewers got Schooble, I would bet on them
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: over the Dodgers with the maze in schoobl in a
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: short series. Are you kidding me? The Brewer, I'd bet
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: on Milwaukee if they get him Atlanta, if the Atlanta
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Braves were able to pick up School and put him
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: near the top. Man, and I don't care about trading prospect.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: You you prospect hoarders. Let it go. Let cut the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: umbilical court with these stupid prospect Just trade. They're just
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: trade chips to maximize that the roster, the big league roster,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and they have the depth and every year Baseball America
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: and these other nerd websites come out with a new
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: list of top prospects, so if you trade them, you
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: can regrow. It's kind of like a farmer. You imagine
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you're a farmer in Iowa and you're like, man, I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: can't I love the corn, I can't cut the Well, no,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: we'll get more corn the next season. Well no, I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: love this corn. Well no, you've got to trade that
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: corn and then you can get some effort. This thing
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: called money, money, money, money. Yeah, all right. So anyway
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to quote Mark Twain, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: It's also widespread in baseball. Now, moving on page two
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, we go where the Reds are not good. However,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: they are very popular the trade deadline. Multiple people that
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: claim to know what they're talking about, keeping you up
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to date. Those so called squirrely Baseball insiders swear that
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Reds, as Hunter Green, is on the auctioning block,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: with Buster only claiming that it's a fifty to fifty
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: chance that he's traded. Over the weekend before the MLB
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: trade deadline. Hunter Green and supposedly a lot of teams
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: are kicking the tires on mister Green, who's not actually green.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He's not all right. So the question you make the call,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: should the Reds trade away the flame throwing starting pitcher
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Hunter Green, who was a revelation of baseball Nation last
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: year and smells like rotting fish this year? So on
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: this one, I am going to give this a ceremonial
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: head bob, is what I'm going to do. Yes, I'm
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: nodding my head here. Now my arm certainly can be
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: twisted on this. And here's why. Hunter Green is a
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: dream boat house built on a sinkle You feel me
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: on that. You know what I'm saying. It looks great.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: At some point that sinkhole's going to swallow that house up.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And you juxtapost we talked about in a previous episode
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: of the show. We talked about how the Reds have
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: La de la Cruz and I wouldn't trade him, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: they'd be nuts to trade him. Well, it's different with
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Hunter Green. Even though he's a young, young lad at
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: twenty six, Hunter Green is coming off elbow surgery for
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: bone chips and he he just you look at his
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: injury report and it's the future. It's it's not so
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: much looking forward to the future. It's planning for the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: next MRI. And so if you're the front office there,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you've got to do this math equation and say, well,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: when are we actually going to be any good again?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: And if we're that good, he'll will he still be
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: able to pitch. And it's kind of like playing with
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the Jenga tower and you're blindfolded and Hunter Green is
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that wobbly middle block that's about to fall out of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the Jenga tower. And by the time the Reds are
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: actually competitive, he'll either be signing or demanding a two
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollar plus contract or getting fitted for Tommy
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: John surgery. Not the close the Tommy John operation, so
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: under team control for a few more years, which all
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: these financial wizards love so much through twenty twenty nine.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: And that makes you prime fish bait to toss into
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the ocean for desperate teams that are all horny to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: get more pitching, like the Atlanta Braves, the Padres, the Yankees,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: teams like that, so you could cash in. I don't
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: love my prospects. I've been very clear about that. Most
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: of these guys suck. It's a scam, it's a shell game.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: As three card Monte is what it is with these prospects. However,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you know, that's where the Reds are. This unending struggle
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that the Cincinnati Reds are dealing with is just Josh
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and Justin and Cincinnati Know and Ohio Al and all
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: those guys, Dick and Dayton. You're running on a treadmill,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and it's a treadmill. It's a weird brand of treadmills.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: It's the Suck brand, the treadmill of suck. And there's
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: no off switch. You can't get off it. There's no
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: off switch. It's all all right. Final point. Now we
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: go to Atlanta, where Tommy in Atlanta is smiling ear
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to ear, unless he's not. So reports say the Braves
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: are considering tossing out into the market. Spencer Strider, what
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: what come on? The Braves are a playoff team this year.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: They've got this mismashed, the players they added and the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: guys they had before that are working. Yeah, So that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: is the story. The former ace of the Atlanta baseball team,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: who's in the middle of a six year contract for
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars, it's got a couple more years
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: after this club option after that. So the question do
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you believe the Atlanta Braves would really trade away Spencer Strider.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So on this one, I'm giving this two thumbs up,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: not one, two thumbs up, two of them. Now for
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the low information fan, trading away Spencer Strider sounds bat
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: poop crazy. It sounds bat poop crazy. But Atlanta is
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: not just shopping him. I believe in private messages at
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: this point, they're practically begging someone to take the booby
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: prize off the shelf. They would pack his bags, they'd
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: take care of his house. Call the uber black, pay
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: surge pricing, and tip the driver double to get rid
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of him. If you look at the rental market and
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you say, okay, I need to get a picture and
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I need a rental. Let me get a Can I
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: get an Avis? No, no, we don't have this. How
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: about what else?
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: You get?
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Like a National? No, we don't have that. What do
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you got? So I have a Spencer Strider. It's a
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: rental wreck. Spencer Strider is a rental wreck. He has
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: had elbow inflammation ucl sprain. His velocity has been like
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a yo yo. It's up and down and all around.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: The guy turns twenty eight this summer, which again not old,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: You're supposedly in the prime of your career. However, he
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: has to be handled like a Faberge egg at this point.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And think of Spencer Strider like a Burger King commercial
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: for the Whopper.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: You look at that and it looks just amazing. The meat,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the bread, the toppings, even the lettuce. And I don't
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: like lettuce because it makes you vomit, like the lettuce today.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: But it looks fine, looks good. And then when you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: go through the drive through and you get that bag,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: that soggy bag, and it's that depressing looking burger, You're like,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: let's I don't want the one in the commercial. I
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: don't what is this slop that I'm getting. Strider looks cool,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: he sounds cool. The functionality of Spencer Strider is not
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: very good. It's just not great. And so the Braves,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I would think, are very tired of this. They know
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that it's not likely going to get better. Baby's sitting
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a picture. It's kind of like watching a rocket launch
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: back in the day at NASA. There's a long checklist
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: before you start that rocket, right, the booster rockets and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I had a long checklist, and that's Spencer Stryder at
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: this particular point, trying to figure out, you know, how
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: to make all this stuff work. It's not not great,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and they've been futzing around with it for a couple
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: of years now and it's just not looking at all
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that promising.

• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Over to the Kopa loop for the reading of the questions.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Max Crosby was asked about the Trade that Never Was
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: this week. He admitted that the Ravens backing up out
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: of the trade had has added a little extra motivation
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: to go out there and kick ass this season. But
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: do you think the Ravens will regret backing out of
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: the deal.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So you've got the micro and the macro, so micro, yeah,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: because I think Crosby will have a good year this year,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and it's really about the Macro. The Ravens were betting
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: that they're going to be right in like the next
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: like not this year, but the year after, and so
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to get locked in on that. We'll see,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you know they think the doctors are not Medicine is
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: a not an exact science. Schoople Loop asked Nick Saban
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and the Miami Dolphins who passed on Drew Brees, mister
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Drew Brees.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Next, Derrick Henry is entering his eleventh NFL season, will
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: be thirty two years old, yet he's still among the
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: top running backs in the game. He said this week
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: that the thought of retirement hasn't even entered his mind.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: Bet how much longer do you think Henry can go?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You should just keep playing until no one's dumb enough
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to sign him and they cut the Remember that famous
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: quote from Roy Campanella the Brooklyn Dodger guys that played
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: until they cut the uniform off me. Realistically, he's got
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I'd say two more seasons, and everyone is an exception
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: for rule everyone, So I see two more years unless
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: he's like an Adrian Peterson freak of nature.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Next former number one overall, picking you. Daveon Clowney visited
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday as he looks for
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: a home for his thirteenth season. Do you think Clowny
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: can still be called a bust?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, because he was the top pick in the draft
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and you're supposed to be an all time great or
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: at least a borderline Hall of Fame player, and he's
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: just had a good, long career, not a great career.

  Speaker 1: Warner brother who made the movie original? Was it Warner

  Speaker 1: they've got to get Spider Man.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Production doesn't start until twenty twenty seven for that. Okay,

  Speaker 4: but speaking of Spider Man, let's go over to the
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: theaters this weekend. Premiering today is Spider Man Brand New Day.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, why Spidery like sense is? Tell me that'll
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: be the top movie this weekend. Coop. That's it, and

  Speaker 4: few years maybe even. I've been kind of over the
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: whole Marvel movie craze.
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: It's just too much. It's too hard to follow.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: But I do like the Spider Man movies a lot,
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: and so I will be checking this one out. Tom
• 43:02

  Speaker 6: comes later.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, I guess I don't know.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Moving over to television real quick. First,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: we have a new show on Netflix. It's already premiered.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: It is called The Bombing of pan Am one h three.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Now it's a family film.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a mini series that dramatizes the nineteen
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: eighty eight terrorist bombing of a commercial flight over Scotland
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: and the subsequent investigation into the attacks origins. And this
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: one's getting pretty good reviews as a mini series on
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: Netflix that's available right now to stream in its entirety
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: then later in the week, and I believe it's let
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: me just double check here. Tuesday, Tuesday, August fourth, we
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: have the premiere of Hard Knocks training camp with the
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I know Stredinis is counting down the days there,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: He's got his he's got a massage that day, he's
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: gonna watch that. Oh my gosh, like porn for it.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: That's right HBO nine PM or or stream on HBO Max. Now,
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: I know that with Hard Knocks they say that every
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: team eventually has to.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Do it right, allegedly allegedly.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Now I'm I feel like almost every team has done
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: it at this point except my Broncos. I've never watched
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: a minute of Hard Knocks, except for like the clips
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: that you see online. But when they finally do the
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Broncos I will watch.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: See Hard Knocks is like watching HGTV. You know how
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: every episode of Love It or listed is the same.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: It's the same concept. I think it's the same outline
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: and then the players it's a little different, but it's
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the same. It's cookie cutter. Anything bad they cut out.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: So it's like all these guys complaining about hard knocks.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: It's harmless.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree. Last, but not least, Here we go,
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: Here we go.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: On Wednesday, August fifth, we have the return of Ted

• 45:21
  Speaker 4: returning after a three year hiatus, and we thought the
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: series was over. We thought it was the series finale
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: and it was done. But they are bringing it back
• 45:28
