Speaker 1: order subject to availability. I was actually walking around Home
4:02
Speaker 1: Depot saying, build it like Beckham, you know, built it
4:05
Speaker 1: like Benny. I changed it up a little bit. When
4:07
Speaker 1: I was going in there, it was really exciting. I
4:10
Speaker 1: was getting weird looks though, Who's this a hole?
4:12
Speaker 2: All right?
4:13
Speaker 4: Hey?
4:13
Speaker 1: By the way, maybe point out if I did not
4:16
Speaker 1: mention that. I think it was Nick the Windy's guy.
4:22
Speaker 1: I believe it was Nick the Wndy's guy that wanted
4:23
Speaker 1: you to know about Fox one.
4:26
Speaker 2: That's right.
4:26
Speaker 1: The excitement of the FIFA World Cup is now streaming
4:28
Speaker 1: live on Fox one, the official English streaming platform, to
4:32
Speaker 1: catch every unforgettable moment. I know, hollering, James. Love that
4:36
Speaker 1: Fox one bringing the action straight to your screen. See
4:39
Speaker 1: you never miss a goal. Download Fox one and experience
4:44
Speaker 1: the FIFA World Cup live and we'll get back to
4:50
Speaker 1: the commercials. I know you want more, and we'll give
4:52
Speaker 1: you more. We pause the commercials right now to get
4:55
Speaker 1: to the monologue. I apologize for that, but we'll get
4:57
Speaker 1: back to the commercials. I leave this hour from the
5:00
Speaker 1: Delaware Valley, Phildelphia, PA, the birthplace of our Freedom, where
5:07
Speaker 1: Saint Louis slugger Jordan Walker played Betman super villain to
5:14
Speaker 1: win the home run derby over Kyle Swarber.
5:16
Speaker 2: We talked about that earlier.
5:17
Speaker 1: Now another All Star made headlines who also plays in
5:22
Speaker 1: that city of Philadelphia other than Kyle Swarber, who lost
5:25
Speaker 1: the home run derby to Jordan Walker. So Philadelphia Philly
5:30
Speaker 1: star Bryce Harper has he's made a statement regarding the
5:37
Speaker 1: big hullaballoo that took place a few days ago. Bryce
5:41
Speaker 1: Harper has publicly denied, denied consenting to or knowing how
5:47
Speaker 1: the people over there at FanDuel would be able to
5:51
Speaker 1: use a personalized video that he recorded for a customer
5:54
Speaker 1: via cameo. Now, if you didn't see this or hear
5:57
Speaker 1: about this, perhaps you you missed the story blew up, right,
6:01
Speaker 1: The story blew up recently when a guy who says, Hey,
6:06
Speaker 1: I was an addicted gambler, I'm in rehabbing all that,
6:10
Speaker 1: he filed a lawsuit and he used, as I understand it,
6:14
Speaker 1: he used this Bryce Harper video as evidence that he's
6:19
Speaker 1: deserved a lot of money and all that. So Harper
6:23
Speaker 1: posted on Instagram that he made the video in good faith,
6:28
Speaker 1: he said, as a standard cameo fan request and had
6:32
Speaker 1: no idea that it would be tied to a FanDuel
6:37
Speaker 1: commercial slash VIP situation with this guy that has a
6:43
Speaker 1: gambling problem. Harper said, quote, I did not know that
6:49
Speaker 1: FanDuel would do this. I did not consent to it, Sam,
6:53
Speaker 1: I am, and Fandul had no right to.
6:57
Speaker 2: Do it, he said.
6:59
Speaker 1: Had I known the true intent of the people over
7:02
Speaker 1: there at FanDuel, Harper's quote continues, I would have made
7:05
Speaker 1: the video. The same is true, or it says I
7:08
Speaker 1: would not have made the video the same is true
7:10
Speaker 1: had I known anything about Terry or his situation.
7:14
Speaker 2: That's the name of the guy.
7:15
Speaker 1: Who is suing for a gazillion dollars. So that is
7:18
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
7:22
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper implying rather clearly here that he's the victim
7:29
Speaker 1: of this fan dual cameo drama, old rama.
7:35
Speaker 2: Do you have any empathy for Bryce Harper in this situation?
7:38
Speaker 1: So I've got Donald Duck, twenty four hour fitness and
7:42
Speaker 1: rolls Royce, and we will combine all of these things
7:46
Speaker 1: together and we will have the cone zone. Make sure
7:50
Speaker 1: to slow down for the cone zone. Driving around a
7:52
Speaker 1: lot of construction at night, so to slow down for
7:54
Speaker 1: the cone zone. All right, So number one, what funn'est
7:59
Speaker 1: number one. So I give crocodile tears to Bryce Harper.
8:05
Speaker 1: That was, by the way, the word of the week
8:08
Speaker 1: on the Fifth Hour podcast. Crocodile Tears. That's what I
8:11
Speaker 1: give to Bryce Harper. Harper's sympathy plate has the emotional
8:16
Speaker 1: depth of a Kinnie pool at a motel six.
8:19
Speaker 2: You feel me on that? Okay? Good?
8:21
Speaker 4: All right?
8:21
Speaker 1: So, like, what did Bryce Harper think that this video
8:27
Speaker 1: was going to do? Did he think it makes no sense?
8:32
Speaker 1: I surely do not understand. And by the way, Bryce
8:34
Speaker 1: is a guy who has a three hundred and thirty
8:36
Speaker 1: million dollar contract to play professional baseball in Philadelphia, and
8:41
Speaker 1: he's charging over nine hundred dollars for generic cameos like
8:47
Speaker 1: little thirty second videos on cameo nine hundred bucks, dude,
8:53
Speaker 1: you got three hundred thirty Like what are you doing?
8:55
Speaker 1: Like seriously, Like Bryce is swimming in cash like Donald
8:59
Speaker 1: Duck's uncle Scrooge mcducky, he's loaded.
9:02
Speaker 2: Good for him.
9:03
Speaker 1: Cameo is for guys like me, overnight poorly paid gas
9:09
Speaker 1: bags charging.
9:10
Speaker 2: I think I charged like a pulch.
9:11
Speaker 1: I think like fifty five bucks or something like that,
9:13
Speaker 1: and I've raised it was lower than that before for
9:16
Speaker 1: handcrafted goodness on cameo. There's no price gouging here, Bryce
9:20
Speaker 1: Harper over nine hundred dollars, that's price gouging my opinion.
9:25
Speaker 1: Can't sue me for my opinion, so listen. Harper comes
9:29
Speaker 1: off as a total meathead to me, just a total
9:33
Speaker 1: meathead on this. Ultimately, the problem isn't even the price
9:38
Speaker 1: tag or the people that fanduels aggressive marketing and all that.
9:42
Speaker 1: The problem is the gambler who looks at the clip.
9:46
Speaker 1: As I understand that, in order to win the lawsuit.
9:49
Speaker 1: And I don't read a little bit about it. I
9:51
Speaker 1: don't know all the details, but as I was perusing
9:54
Speaker 1: some of the stories that were available about this particular lawsuit,
9:56
Speaker 1: essentially it's like this guy saw the clip Bryce Harper,
10:01
Speaker 1: it was around Thanksgiving, and he lost his mind and
10:05
Speaker 1: then decided, Okay, I'm gonna keep betting. I'm gonna bet more.
10:11
Speaker 1: And that's like my manuge. I understand there are major
10:13
Speaker 1: addiction problems. I was addicted to food for a long time.
10:17
Speaker 2: That was my thing.
10:18
Speaker 1: I love the food, and we're all addicted to something in
10:22
Speaker 1: one way or another. But people love to pass the
10:24
Speaker 1: buck as a society and blaming the app or blaming
10:30
Speaker 1: a cameo video from Bryce Harper. Now, does this guy
10:33
Speaker 1: have a winnable case? Well, the video is pretty damning right.
10:37
Speaker 1: If he gets the right situation in court, I could
10:40
Speaker 1: see him winning some money and getting some money back. However,
10:44
Speaker 1: nobody forced this guy. Nobody forced him or anyone else
10:50
Speaker 1: to you know, to get the app and to downloaded
10:54
Speaker 1: and all that. And if you're betting all of your money,
10:57
Speaker 1: this guy lost over a million dollars. I think it
10:59
Speaker 1: was all close to two million dollars. You didn't do
11:02
Speaker 1: it because Bryce Harper winked at you want a cameo video.
11:05
Speaker 1: I don't think I wish you a happy Thanksgiving, so
11:10
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. It's called personal responsibility
11:13
Speaker 1: on some level. There Now page two to Anaheim, we
11:18
Speaker 1: go where yet again for the second time, and recently
11:23
Speaker 1: second time. Recently, we are hearing that Angels slugger Mike
11:27
Speaker 1: Trout has not changed his position. We are now what
11:32
Speaker 1: are we a few weeks away from the trade deadline?
11:34
Speaker 1: It's today is July fourteenth, as we're doing this in
11:37
Speaker 1: real time, and the trade deadline is August third, so
11:40
Speaker 1: we're not that far away from the.
11:42
Speaker 2: Trade deadline, and Mike Trout very happy.
11:46
Speaker 1: He's a happy Camper's got his chateau in Laguna Beach
11:50
Speaker 1: right there on the Pacific, and he goes out to
11:53
Speaker 1: the Big A and hangs out for a few hours
11:55
Speaker 1: a day, goes back to his chateau in Laguna Beach,
11:58
Speaker 1: and that's it, and he doesn't want to be traded.
12:03
Speaker 1: Question what stands out about Mike Trout passing It would
12:09
Speaker 1: appear if this report is accurate, passing on the opportunity
12:12
Speaker 1: to play for a contender and wanting to stay at
12:16
Speaker 1: the Big A. So Trout much like that guy we
12:21
Speaker 1: just talked about with Bryce Arber. Bryce, listen, Mike Trout.
12:25
Speaker 1: When all this is said and done, this is ultimately
12:28
Speaker 1: on Mike Trout. If Mike Trout really wants to get
12:30
Speaker 1: out of Anaheim and go to a good team and
12:33
Speaker 1: he's only got a couple of decent years left, most
12:35
Speaker 1: likely this is on him. You got to step up.
12:39
Speaker 1: And loyalty is great if the employer deserves loyalty, I
12:44
Speaker 1: would argue, I think most would agree that the Angels
12:47
Speaker 1: are not a franchise that deserves that kind of loyalty.
12:52
Speaker 1: And Bryce or not Mike Trout. Excuse me, Mike Trout.
12:57
Speaker 1: He sounds to me like kind of reading between the
13:01
Speaker 1: lines here, listening between the words. Mike Trout's like that
13:04
Speaker 1: friend who's stuck in a toxic relationship and you're like, hey,
13:10
Speaker 1: you gotta get out of the dude. Yeah, it's not good. Yeah,
13:13
Speaker 1: he's gonna do something crazy. You're gonna end up in Jay.
13:16
Speaker 1: I was gonna call the cops on you. It's a
13:18
Speaker 1: crazy situation. And your buddy ignores you and everyone else.
13:22
Speaker 1: He's like, your buddy's I.
13:23
Speaker 2: Love her, bro I know you love her, dude, but
13:25
Speaker 2: you got it.
13:25
Speaker 1: It's not good, and Trout doubling down, doubling down on
13:30
Speaker 1: loyalty while the franchise has been a demilitarized.
13:33
Speaker 2: Zone under Ardi Marine.
13:35
Speaker 1: I remember the franchise motto is affordable tickets, safe environment,
13:40
Speaker 1: don't care about winning. That's the ARTI Marino angels right there,
13:43
Speaker 1: market research, don't try to win, you don't need to
13:47
Speaker 1: win as long as you have a safe environment. A
13:49
Speaker 1: lot of bobbleheads kids run the basis, everything's good, Everything
13:53
Speaker 1: is good, right, absolutely so whatever's in the water system
13:59
Speaker 1: in Anna and Laguna Beach, Mike Trout is hooked. He's hooked,
14:05
Speaker 1: and he's not hooked to trying to win.
14:07
Speaker 2: That's not it. And staying with the Halos. It's kind
14:10
Speaker 2: of like.
14:10
Speaker 1: Renewing your membership to twenty four hour finish the gym
14:15
Speaker 1: even though you haven't gone to the gym since twenty seventeen.
14:19
Speaker 1: You know, we I mean, I'll go, I'll renew it
14:21
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go. It's admirable. You're showing great loyalty.
14:27
Speaker 1: If you're Mike Trout, it's not great decision making, it's not.
14:31
Speaker 1: And his mantra clearly is work smarter, not harder, meaning
14:38
Speaker 1: he's embracing load management.
14:40
Speaker 2: Mike Trout.
14:41
Speaker 1: Good thing about playing for the Angels. You don't have
14:44
Speaker 1: to work any overtime. You don't have to worry about
14:46
Speaker 1: playing October baseball. You don't have to worry about going
14:49
Speaker 1: to play the Yankees and the cold weather or somewhere
14:52
Speaker 1: else where it's nasty in October when the weather turns bad.
14:55
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
14:57
Speaker 1: Now he is a Jersey guy, so he can go
14:59
Speaker 1: back to and he can live in his home back
15:02
Speaker 1: there and hunt and go to pumpkin patches around Jersey
15:05
Speaker 1: and enjoy the fall weather and doesn't have to worry
15:08
Speaker 1: about playing baseball games and chasing championships and.
15:12
Speaker 2: All that stuff.
15:13
Speaker 1: And he's gonna retire with exactly one career postseason hit.
15:17
Speaker 1: That's how many has Mike Trout hit one meaningless home
15:19
Speaker 1: run in a blowout game against the Kansas City Royals
15:22
Speaker 1: in a playoff game. And it's like Joe Mauer, except
15:27
Speaker 1: Joe Mauer, who also wasn't great. He actually had eleven
15:30
Speaker 1: playoff hits for the old Minnesota Twins back in the day,
15:32
Speaker 1: so it would appear, barring some kind of eleventh hour change,
15:37
Speaker 1: Mike Trout has picked comfort over winning, and he's got
15:42
Speaker 1: really no excuse. He's at the point now he's like, well,
15:47
Speaker 1: he's not going to trade him now, good luck?
15:49
Speaker 4: All right?
15:49
Speaker 1: Final point to the NBA. Yes, just to annoy Wane
15:54
Speaker 1: the Curmudgeon, some hot NBA talk where Milwaukee Bucks forward
15:58
Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzman. That's right, Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma filling
16:02
Speaker 1: the content machine this week. So Kuzma recently slammed the CBA.
16:10
Speaker 1: That's what it's known for, or known as some call
16:13
Speaker 1: it by its formal name, the Collective Bargaining Agreement Kuzma
16:17
Speaker 1: went on a rant saying, quote, let's be real, the
16:20
Speaker 1: CBA make sure that the owners, the funds, the private
16:26
Speaker 1: investor funds, and outside investors can eat off NBA team equity.
16:30
Speaker 1: But Kuzma said, the players driving the ratings and the
16:34
Speaker 1: merch are treated like short term contractors. He went on
16:38
Speaker 1: a diatribe on social media responding to a Jalen Brown
16:41
Speaker 1: bitchfest about the way the NBA does business. And funny
16:45
Speaker 1: thing is, quote continues from Kyle Kuzma, we should be
16:50
Speaker 1: like independent contractors, Kuzma said, since we are W two,
16:55
Speaker 1: we can't even write off certain things like our agent fees.
16:59
Speaker 1: Bay he said, close quote all right. Question, Kyle Kuzma
17:05
Speaker 1: says NBA players are treated like short term contractors while
17:11
Speaker 1: owners profit from the rising team values.
17:15
Speaker 2: Are the players getting a raw deal?
17:19
Speaker 1: So on this one, I'm giving the rant and rave
17:22
Speaker 1: by Kyle Kuzma a little side eye, little sidey Kuzma
17:26
Speaker 1: crying about NBA players being treated like short term contractors
17:30
Speaker 1: or they should be. It's for gazy, is what it is.
17:35
Speaker 1: And this pops up every company. This is not a
17:38
Speaker 1: new story, I admit it. It's just the latest guy
17:41
Speaker 1: to do it, And so here we are. Why do
17:43
Speaker 1: these guys think they deserve equity in a business they
17:47
Speaker 1: didn't build, Like, I've worked here at Fox Sports Radio's
17:51
Speaker 1: how I relate to I worked here since the network started.
17:54
Speaker 1: Network's the top networking radio whatever that's worth sports radio.
17:57
Speaker 1: It's the number one network in the country. I'm very
18:00
Speaker 1: proud of that, right, and that's great. Do I go
18:03
Speaker 1: into the boss's office and say, well, I get I
18:05
Speaker 1: should get some equity in this. I've been here since
18:07
Speaker 1: the network started. Why don't I get some equity? No,
18:10
Speaker 1: they'd laugh at me, just like when my contract comes
18:13
Speaker 1: up and they laugh at me. So why would I know.
18:15
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't even think about doing that.
18:17
Speaker 1: I don't have that level of Hutsbah, clearly these guys do. Now,
18:22
Speaker 1: the NBA is a star league, right, Oh, the NBA
18:25
Speaker 1: is a star league. However, stars don't own the sky.
18:29
Speaker 2: They don't.
18:31
Speaker 1: And they're more like these players are more like shooting stars,
18:35
Speaker 1: and they dazzled briefly really impressive meteor shower and then
18:40
Speaker 1: they disappear that's it. Or they're more like another analogy.
18:44
Speaker 1: They're more like luxury rental cars. You go out, you
18:48
Speaker 1: get that Rolls Royce, so that Bentley or more of
18:51
Speaker 1: a Ferrari person. You rent that car, flashy expensive, you
18:55
Speaker 1: pull up to the high end restaurant. All the hot
18:59
Speaker 1: chicks are looking at you all. You're all excited about it, right,
19:02
Speaker 1: and then when the mileage goes up, you just that's it.
19:04
Speaker 1: The card goes back and they that's all like just
19:09
Speaker 1: when I started, Uh, I guess I'm gona date myself.
19:12
Speaker 1: When I was going to the NBA games as a
19:14
Speaker 1: early I was a teenager, Larry Bird was still playing
19:17
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson. These were the they were old at the time.
19:20
Speaker 1: They were still playing in the NBA, right, and I
19:22
Speaker 1: remember people saying, oh my god, no one's gonna watch
19:25
Speaker 1: the NBA. These are the face of the NBA. And
19:26
Speaker 1: this guy Michael Jordan came along and he was pretty good.
19:30
Speaker 1: And then when Jordan got old.
19:32
Speaker 5: Oh no, no one's gonna watch the NBA because there's
19:34
Speaker 5: no Michael Jordan.
19:36
Speaker 1: And then this guy Kobe Bryant came along. People seemed
19:38
Speaker 1: to like him a lot. And then Kobe got all
19:40
Speaker 1: and he went away. And then like Lebron James called,
19:43
Speaker 1: you know, going along and he was around.
19:45
Speaker 5: Oh my god, No Lebron's getting all these good retire
19:47
Speaker 5: No one's gonna watch Oh my god.
19:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's always somebody else.
19:51
Speaker 1: Is that the assembly line always pumped somebody out, else out,
19:54
Speaker 1: whether it's the Parisian progy, Wemby or some other jimoke,
19:58
Speaker 1: there'll be somebody else. And through it all, the multi
20:01
Speaker 1: billion dollar team valuations remained intact. The permanent institution, the
20:04
Speaker 1: asset is the foundation of logos and all that stuff.
20:09
Speaker 1: The labor force is where the volatility is in professional basketball.
20:15
Speaker 1: Like fans support franchises and you like the players. I
20:18
Speaker 1: don't discount you love the players that you're watching, But
20:22
Speaker 1: no one last forever. There's no individual that last forever
20:27
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Doesn't happen. And so if Kyle Kuzma
20:30
Speaker 1: wants long term stability, I recommend getting a job at
20:35
Speaker 1: the post office.
20:36
Speaker 2: That's pretty good stability. We have some postal carriers that listen.
20:40
Speaker 1: I know one of our buddies in Nebraska who I
20:42
Speaker 1: met with his son at a meet and greet in
20:43
Speaker 1: Kansas City.
20:44
Speaker 2: He's a proud mailman.
20:45
Speaker 1: He listens to the podcast every day while wandering around Nebraska.
20:49
Speaker 2: He's got a stable job. Good for him. The NBA,
20:52
Speaker 2: the points listen in the.
20:53
Speaker 1: NBA existed before these guys, it'll exist after these guys.
20:58
Speaker 1: And in the case of Kyle Kuz, no one's gonna
21:00
Speaker 1: remember he even playing in the NBA. Is that too harsh?
21:03
Speaker 2: Is that too me? What's real? It is The Ben

25:35
Speaker 1: And then there's allthers that think that in the oceans
25:38
Speaker 1: there's portals.
25:40
Speaker 2: Fat that's great. Well, people for years thought that.
25:44
Speaker 1: In fact, when when people explorers like Magellan and those
25:48
Speaker 1: other people, they were worried they were going to die,
25:51
Speaker 1: they were going to go off the end of the
25:53
Speaker 1: Earth and they're going to dish. Yeah, how about that.

Speaker 8: I know.
29:30
Speaker 6: It's a popular meat from Brazil. A lot of a
29:32
Speaker 6: lot of people in Miami, A lot I don't.
29:38
Speaker 1: I don't think Mike, you understand the type of the
29:40
Speaker 1: type of a diet that we we has. I think
29:43
Speaker 1: he's getting he's all the candy from Parita if Perito
29:47
Speaker 1: sent him. If somebody sent you a steak weed, man,
29:49
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know how to cook that.
29:50
Speaker 2: Right, Well, no, you can't cook you can't. No, you
29:56
Speaker 2: can't micro wave it.
29:57
Speaker 6: No, no, man, what's your favorite cut of steak?
30:01
Speaker 5: Man?
30:01
Speaker 1: Uh? I like, yeah, what about Rebby is fantastic?
30:08
Speaker 2: But he cooks all the flavor out of it.
30:09
Speaker 1: That's not true. Cool, I put sauce on it, you know,
30:12
Speaker 1: I love, I love.
30:14

30:16
Speaker 6: lot of people don't know about. That's called chucky steaks.
30:19
Speaker 6: Chucky steak the unicorn meat.
30:21
Speaker 2: But is that true?
30:23
Speaker 6: I wanted to call up about the raiders. I'm wrong.
30:25
Speaker 1: Well, isn't technically isn't technically any any meat? If you
30:28
Speaker 1: just cook it long enough will be good. Right, you're
30:30
Speaker 1: the proper way.
30:31
Speaker 6: To cot No.
30:32
Speaker 1: I think if you cook it likes now, brisket is
30:37
Speaker 1: not a great cut of me.
30:38
Speaker 2: But if you cook it along if he if he's
30:40
Speaker 2: smoking smoker, yeah.
30:43
Speaker 6: Brisket is so rating. Michael Befriend These title ribs are
30:49
Speaker 6: the best way better than brisket.
30:50
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, my old what were you saying? We
30:54
Speaker 1: meant what's wrong with Mike waving a steak?
30:56
Speaker 6: Yeah?
30:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we should we begin at a or where
31:00
Speaker 2: do you want me to begin? Like, because it chewy?
31:06
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, you can't cook it in the microwave,
31:08
Speaker 8: but if you're even if you're reheating it, it's gonna
31:10
Speaker 8: make it all chewy.
31:11
Speaker 1: Ands just get some double bubble or Vazuoka Joe bubblegum
31:14
Speaker 1: and just chew on that. It'll have more taste and
31:17
Speaker 1: more flavor.
31:18
Speaker 7: Oh whoa, calm down. You can definitely cook a steak
31:20
Speaker 7: in the microwave, it says. If you cover it with
31:23
Speaker 7: a damp paper towel to lock in the moisture, you
31:27
Speaker 7: should be okay cooking it on a medium power for
31:29
Speaker 7: a quick thirty second interval, and you just keep flipping
31:32
Speaker 7: it until the steak is cooked all the way through
31:34
Speaker 7: and keep it in that wet towel.
31:35
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, you do that. Let me know how
31:38
Speaker 2: that goes.
31:39
Speaker 1: Alf the alien o Pliny rights, He says, were you
31:41

32:31
Speaker 2: time left to do. Ask a weed man.
32:34
Speaker 1: All right, let's say hello to Andrew in Baker's Field. Andrew,
32:38
Speaker 1: you're on with weed Man. It's ask a weed man.
32:41
Speaker 1: No questions from Boso the district attorney. What's up with that?
32:45
Speaker 6: Clowns?

Speaker 6: Guys?
32:48
Speaker 2: Hey?
32:49
Speaker 4: Ben?
32:49
Speaker 2: How you been where you've been, Andrew, you've been away
32:52
Speaker 2: a couple of days.
32:53
Speaker 6: Weed Man, I have a I have a thought. I
32:56
Speaker 6: think Rob Manfred should take the World Series trophy away
33:03
Speaker 6: from the Astros because we're all hating the Astros.
33:08
Speaker 2: Because good taken, good take, then.
33:12
Speaker 4: He should take.
33:12
Speaker 6: He should take away the trophy and then we should
33:15
Speaker 6: all forgive them because we're missing out on a bunch
33:17
Speaker 6: of good players like Bregman, Altuve and Ben and weed Man.
33:22
Speaker 2: Thanks for the time.
33:24
Speaker 3: Well you started out well anywhere he socks Bregman socks.
33:30
Speaker 3: They all blow, They're all terrible, they all cheated. Jay
33:35
Speaker 3: Scoop says, I love the ask a weed Man segment.
33:38
Speaker 3: He should have. It should be on cameo. I wonder
33:40
Speaker 3: how much he would charge. Good question, Jay Scoop, How
33:43
Speaker 3: much would you charge if you did a cameo weed Man?
33:46
Speaker 6: Wow, camyo would be great.
33:47
Speaker 1: How do I do that? Well, you can't even set
33:50
Speaker 1: up an email, so there's no chance you would get
33:52
Speaker 1: on cameo. Like I could say, I do stuff with
33:56
Speaker 1: camp I could. I could give you a code or whatever.
33:58
Speaker 1: I could get you on there, but you wouldn't know
34:01
Speaker 1: how to do it. That's the problem. Like, if you
34:03
Speaker 1: were able to pull it up, I would totally hook
34:05
Speaker 1: you up. I'd get you on there. But you gotta
34:07
Speaker 1: download an app, and you gotta have an email, and
34:10
Speaker 1: you got to have a credit card and all this
34:11
Speaker 1: other stuff. So oh oh uh super Marcus Steve says,
34:17
Speaker 1: how dare you ask weed Man if he knows how
34:19
Speaker 1: to cook a steak? Uh, you'd burn that steak, disrespect
34:22
Speaker 1: that col's life. That's incorrect. Butterfly cut me and Rob
34:24
Speaker 1: Parker f you and Kenny Albert, voice of the National
34:28
Speaker 1: Hockey League. Also well done, steak guy, Kenny Albert, So
34:32

35:45
Speaker 1: a Grand Slam in both games of a doubleheader. He

Speaker 1: also hit a Grand Slam single in the National League
35:52
Speaker 1: Championship Series, hit a walk off grand slam and the
35:56
Speaker 1: teammates mobbed him before he reached second base. By rule,
36:00
Speaker 1: it only countered as a single even though he hit
36:03
Speaker 1: the ball over the fence, the longest Grand Slam single
36:08
Speaker 1: in baseball.

Speaker 8: have new results. He vowed that the Titan's gonna have
38:22
Speaker 8: a winning record this year. Ben, do you think that'll
38:24
Speaker 8: be the case.
38:25
Speaker 1: Well, they are playing a last play schedule, and typically
38:28
Speaker 1: guys do get better when they leave the Jets.
38:30
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Robert Salam, the new head coach that's.
38:33
Speaker 1: Said I if they're around five hundred, Robert Salad should
38:37
Speaker 1: be coach of the year.
38:37
Speaker 2: Okay, let's be honest here.
38:39
Speaker 8: Next all right, Ben Sean Payton is part of the
38:42
Speaker 8: NFL's Competition Committee, and he was commenting on how the
38:46
Speaker 8: UFL goes straight to the you know, live to the
38:48
Speaker 8: booth when they have a review, and he said he
38:50
Speaker 8: thinks that they'll have that kind of transparency in the
38:52
Speaker 8: NFL in the next two or three years.
38:53
Speaker 2: Do you believe him? I don't believe him.
38:57
Speaker 1: I still think the NFL when you would go what
38:59
Speaker 1: happened the Justice in Seattle with that game against the
39:02
Speaker 1: Rams coop where the Rams got screwed on that ridiculous.
39:05
Speaker 1: Just give Seattle two points. I don't believe the NFL
39:09
Speaker 1: wants to give up total control, so I'll believe it
39:12
Speaker 1: when it happens. I am very skeptical, Coop, very very
39:17
Speaker 1: skeptical that the NFL will actually cross the rubicon.
39:21
Speaker 2: Just like you listen all these leagues. They like to
39:23
Speaker 2: have a.
39:23
Speaker 1: Little influenced in a little year and there a little help,
39:26
Speaker 1: all right.
39:26
Speaker 8: Next, James Franklin was never able to make it over
39:29
Speaker 8: the hump with the Nitney Lyons.
39:32
Speaker 2: Yes, but much of the dismay of LeVar aarringthing.
39:35
Speaker 8: Yes, but he just finished the annual tailgate tour with
39:39
Speaker 8: Virginia Tech and he said he doesn't think he needs
39:41
Speaker 8: to reinvent himself in order to succeed at Virginia Tech.
39:44
Speaker 2: Do you think that's the case.
39:45
Speaker 1: Well, he needs to get good players, he needs somebody.
39:47
Speaker 1: I don't know the setup at Virginia Tech. I mean,
39:49
Speaker 1: there was a time they had good teams every year,
39:52
Speaker 1: the hokey pokey Virginia Tech for years had competitive teams
39:55
Speaker 1: and they were you know, Michael Vick and all that,
39:58
Speaker 1: and they were a player on the big stage college football.
40:01
Speaker 1: Of course, you got to have people with money. I
40:02
Speaker 1: don't know the most famous alumni from Virginia Tech that
40:05
Speaker 1: are loaded, that have deep pockets.
40:06
Speaker 2: That's all you need.
40:07
Speaker 1: Now, Indiana sucked mine for the World and they won
40:11
Speaker 1: because Mark you Haban paid for good players. So if
40:13
Speaker 1: jam Franklin has someone to pay for good players, then yes,
40:16
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech can win a national championship in the next
40:19
Speaker 1: couple of years.
40:21
Speaker 2: I wouldn't bet on it. How did we do kooboalop?
40:23
Speaker 2: You pass?
40:26
Speaker 6: It's a Chicken regular, right.
40:28
Speaker 2: I won the game. I won the
