  Speaker 1: Oh what is going on? Happy? Uh late night slash
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: early morning to you as we roll on. I've got
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: some bad news. I hate to start a fresh hour
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with bad news. But Oreo, the neighborhood cat, had to leave,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: had to leave, only had time for one hour tonight.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: She's gone. She had stuff to do, she had a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: hot date, she had to go to the bathroom. I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: don't know what it was, but she's gone. Yeah. I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: will happily let you know if she returns. Yeah, but yeah,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I had to go. Unfortunate unfortunate news. If you're just
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: catching up, this is a neighborhood cat. This is not
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: my cat, but she comes and isits all the time.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It's kind of my cat, but not technically my cat.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You have a food dish and water bowl for her.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: That's true, but it's to be fair. It's like a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: cool whip, you know, can hainter. That's the makeshift water dish.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Do you like cool whip over ready whip? I do.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Cool whip is the best. Cool Whip is fantastic.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, coolip is the superior whip.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I only like it on pumpkin pie.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Now that's a ridiculous statement. Come on, what else do
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you put it on everything. You could put cool whip
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: on everything. It would taste better. Strawberries in there, Yeah,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: strawberries are fantastic with cool whip. You put it on
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: your pie, put it on your cheesecake. You can put
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it on all kinds of stuff. I put it on
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: my tacos. I bet they're better. I bet it does.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I bet it makes them better. I'm gonna try it
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: next time I eat taco cream. No, I don't have
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: sour I don't use sour cream on tacos. That's terrible.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I don't need that. I don't need that in my life.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Lorena weirdo. Yeah, hey, I admit it. I am a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: food weirdo for sure. I'll tell you who else. Are
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of weirdos here? That would be Robert Kraft
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick. Why are they weirdosed? So here's the story.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's not this long winded hard to follow, like what's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: going on here, It's very easy to follow. So Robert Kraft,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: team owner of the Patriots, he appeared on a podcast recently,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and he was talking about the decision to hire Bill
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Belichick way back when, right, and so he was emphasizing
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: what a big risk. It was they had to give
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: up a first round pick to acquire Bill Belichick from
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the Jets, and so Craft was basically saying, hey, Belichick
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: didn't exactly crush it as the Browns head coach, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: now we're giving up a first round pick to get
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this guy. It's risky. It's risky. So Belichick he catches
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: word of this and he's like, you know what, time
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to release a rare public statement. And so Belichick counters
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: what Kraft said by saying that he was the one,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Belichick that took the bigger risk by leaving a more
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: stable situation with the Jets. So Belichick's basically saying, hey,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: look man, the Jets were way better than the Patriots
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: at the time, and I'm the one taking the bigger risk.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Look at the Patriots before I got there, grease fire.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So if anyone's taking a risk, it's me. This guy
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: over here, the hoodie is what he's talking about. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it boils down to this, at least in my mind,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I think both are right to a degree. It was
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a risk for both of them. It was a risk
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: for Robert Kraft to give up a first round pick
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to get Belichick. Now we didn't know it would turn
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: out the way it did, and he was gonna win
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: six rings and they were gonna draft Tom Brady. We
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: didn't know that the guy was basically a dud in Cleveland.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: They made it to one playoff game. He's a sub
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: five hundred coach. Let me look it up and verify that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: But he did not have great success with the Browns,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: right that Bill Belichick over there, Yeah, he's right that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the Patriots did take a risk. And also all right,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: let me see here, so Brown's yeah, sub five hundred
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: thirty six and forty four. That that's what we're working
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: with right there. So yeah, it was a risk for
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the Patriots and for Belichick as well. The Patriots were
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: not even close to a great organization. They were a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: laughing stock of the league. Is like the old Patriots.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It was Andre Tippett. That's it. They had Andre Tippett.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: What else, nothing? Really, They just had Andre Tippett. That's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: really all that was going on with the Patriots forever,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you know. And then they got Belichick and that started
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to change things. Then they got Brady and that really
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: changed things. But they're both right to a degree. It's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: just turned into what it's always turned into with these guys.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Lately it's a contest of like who Schlong is larger.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's basically what it is. And Belichick so no, no,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I took the bigger risk, and Craft is like, well no,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I mean you can't overlook how big of a risk
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it was. It's just I would add four inches. That's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a great trup timely drop. Very well done, Loraina, love that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Would you add for to Craft? Belichick? I don't know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. We'll leave that up for interpretation right there,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: but tremendous job by you'll love that. And we got
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: more coop sound into the show. It was a highly
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: featured show of coop here. So this is the bigger
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: picture though, with Craft and Belichick, this shows you how
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: things fell apart. They're going back and forth with who
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: took the bigger risk? Who cares? Who cares? The answer
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to that question is they care, but they shouldn't because
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But they're highly competitive, and if they
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I want to be the guy that's known as I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: took the bigger risk. And you see this all throughout
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: sports history. There's some with crafton Belichick of hey, I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: should get the credit you know, it's that it was
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson where it's like I'm great, No, no,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I'm great, I'm the one. Jerry Jones. Think about that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He wanted to get credit for the Cowboys becoming this
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: dynasty and Jimmy Johnson was getting all the flowers and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Jerry couldn't stand it. He couldn't stand not getting credit.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And that's happened many times. You ever watched the Last
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Dance with the nineteen ninety Chicago Bulls their GM Jerry Krause,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: he wanted to get more credit than he got. He
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: had these ridiculous statements. He wanted to run Phil Jackson
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: out of town. He's like, you know, it's the team,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it's not the players, it's the overall franchise, and a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: lot of players took it the wrong and he just
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to get more credit than he got. And that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was a big reason why they why it's called the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Last Dance and why they moved on from some legendary
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: players and a chance to win another championship. Jerry Krause
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: wanted more credit. And that's the undoing of a lot
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of dynasties, I'm telling you. With Craft and Belichick. You
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: might think this is a small thing, and Craft is like,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: hey man, you can't underestimate the risk I took hiring
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I took a big risk. I was the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: one who had stones of brass, you know. I took
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: this big risk. And look look at the fruit that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it's bared. Huh. Then it's basically Kraft just patting himself
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: on the back. And it's also Belichick doing the same
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: freaking thing. No, I took the bigger risk. I mean,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I look at the Patriots before I got there, before
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I got there, look at them, look at them, you know.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And I had this more stable thing going on with
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the Jets. But I looked at that and I said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you know what, Bill, sometimes you had gotta look risk
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in the eye and say bring it on. I took
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that risk. And look what. It's just a bunch of
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: ego driven blah blah blatt. That's all it is. That's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: all it is. And you wonder why they couldn't wait
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to get rid of each other, you know what I mean,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it's because of stuff like this. This is where being
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: competitive goes wrong. You know how Dave Chappelle had those
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: skits when keeping it real goes wrong. This is when
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: keeping it competitive goes wrong. It's happened with the Patriots
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: with crafton Belichick. It happened with the Cowboys with Jimmy
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and Jerry. It happened with the Bulls with Jerry Krause
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and Phil Jackson, and then also all the other layers
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: with the Last Dance. Remember Scottie Pippen was ticked off
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and these perceived slights that weren't even really there. Like
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: some of these bulls acted like Michael Jordan was like, yeah, yah,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I was unbelievable, and I had this team of scrubs
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that I had just to put on my back and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: take them to the Promised Land. That's not what was
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: said at all. That's just what you heard. That's what
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you're making up. This is when being competitive goes wrong.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And that's a big part why the Craft Belichick marriage
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: fell apart. I don't know why. I don't know why.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: There's this need, this like insatiable need to get credit.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: If you're winning titles and just printing money, who cares
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: if all these people are like, wow, Brady and Belichick.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick, let him say that you're Robert Kraft.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You have all the money in the world. What do
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you care? Why do you care? If people aren't saying,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you know what, there's no Brady and Belichick if not
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for Robert Craft. I mean, Robert Kraft deserves full credit.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Robert Craft, Robert Kraft, I mean, bro, you gotta just
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: let that go and just keep a good thing humming
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and keep bringing money. I don't let this competitive drive
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of I need credit to overtake you. It's happened so
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: many times in sports history. This is just another example
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of it. All right, with that, let me go out
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to the militia here, let me go to Seattle. We
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: were talking about the Seattle music scene for a while
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and Seashell pipe Guy wants to check in here. What's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: going on? Pipe Guy? How are thanks you on Fox
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio?
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Hey Man, Good to hear your voice, dude. I just
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: thought i'd call in. You know, you guys are talking
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: about Seattle music, So I figured, why not that when
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: competitiveness goes wrong or something that was hilarious, bro, But
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: that happens in music too, right, everybody wants to take
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: credit for everything.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And absolutely totally right about that. Yeah, a lot of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: bands have fallen apart for exactly the same exact reason.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think it's I think it's weird because
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: I feel like we're all just channeling it and then
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: we're all tapped into like whatever the sort, and it's like, well, yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: but I mean we're just finishing each other's sentences, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: as a as a full band, like uh, like some
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: other bands like Sound Garden, I mean their early stuff.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: I would put.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Them in that on that list, along with like Als
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: and Chains and stuff like that. I don't think, you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: heart like they're they're well known for being a Seattle
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: band around here. That's that's definitely not like out of
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: left field or anything, you know, like I could see
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: them being in there and some of their bridges, some
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: of the like most creative bridges ever.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So, but copy right, there's a fan of this call
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know show.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm with Coop on tool too. Man, they're.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Show. Why wait a minute, it is what Brian.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: But you're saying to be with Coop. Coop is saying
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: they don't have one bad song. Are you on board
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: with that? That that's ridiculous.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure about a bad song. I'm partial to
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: like their first couple like like Undertow.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: I really like the heavier stuff.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's a little more like the early Soundgarden.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: And do you guys know the band Skinyard No, Skinyard
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: is Jack and Dino's band and Matt Cameron. Jack and
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Dino was the subpop uh producer, engineer, and Matt Cameron
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: the drummer from Soundgarden Pearl Jam recently retired. That was
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: his first band. So that first album he wrote Reptile
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: that second track on the first album, Dude Life Hack.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: You can listen to that whole first album without commercials
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: on YouTube.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Nice, very nice. Appreciate that good stuff. Well, yeah, but
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you know, the tool thing is ridiculous. See sell you're
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: doing well. You know, I hear you on heart. That's great.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But man, like every I contend, every band, even legendary bands,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: have some stinker songs. They all do. Like there's no
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: band that doesn't have at least a couple of bad songs,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you know, like they all do. You could go right
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: down the list, the Beatles, legendary bands all have bad songs.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, Yellow Submarine song.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Is trash, horrible song, great song. Great comment by you
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: always makes me think of a song. It's a it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a horrible song. Coop, here's the thing, here's the song.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: All right, there's the creative process. We all live in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a yellow submarine. Now repeat that seventy five times boom
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: hit songs. Terrible song. It's funny. I always think of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: San Diego. You can like two of these these ships,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you know. And so we went on a ship and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I walked off it. And this dude, this he just
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he's just standing, he's sitting there and he goes, uh,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: we all live in a yellow submarine. It's metaphor. I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. Oh, I thought it was hilarious, just just
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: sitting there just saying, you know, hey, just so you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it's metaphor, metaphor for life right there. It might be
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a metaphor, but it's a sucky song, is what it is.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Sorry to be so brash, but it's true. Sometimes the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: truth hurts. But do you any music thoughts for sports thoughts?

  Speaker 1: just lost me with that all. We gotta get to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: this coming up next. Why do what I think are?
• 14:47

• 14:58
  Speaker 1: simple example I got out there. Then we'll do that.

• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Love mixing it up with the militia good stuff. Yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: So easy question here, Why do smart leagues do dumb things?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: So what got me thinking about this is Caitlin Clark
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: being hurt. So you probably heard like the top of
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the hour updates, Caitlin Clark has another groin injury. She's
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: not gonna be competing in the WNBA All Star Game.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: She's not gonna be in the three point Contest, but
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: she will be present. She will be there, she just
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: won't be competing. And so it makes me think of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: what we just saw in the MLB All Star Game,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and it also made me think of the NFL. So,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: if you take it, peace pot Piece, like Denzel said
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: in Man on Fire, Love that as one of my
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: favorite part part Peace pot Piece I want you. That's
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: what Denzel was saying. But if you go piece by
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: piece on this one, if you look at the MLB
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: All Star Game, So Jacob Mizerowski, he's this young pitcher,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: only five starts. He was fantastic in the five starts collectively,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: but only five starts, and he was named an All
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Star Game replacement. Like no problem, ish, right, If you're
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: just named a replacement, I'm a problem with that. But
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the path that MLB took to get there, so they
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: named a bunch of replacement All Stars, you should get
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: replacement status. You shouldn't get All Star status. Those are
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: two completely different things in my mind. If you've got
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the All Star team, boom, here it is, and then
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you have a pictur or two that's like, hey, I'd
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: love to be there, but I just pitched on Sunday,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going to be available on Tuesday for
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the game. And the MLB's like, okay, cool, we got
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to name the next guy. And MLB looked to the Phillies.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: There were a couple of players that pitchers that had
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: better resumes than Misrowski did. You had Christopher Sanchez better
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: resume inarguable ranger sworez better resume inarguable. But those pitchers
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: weren't available either on Tuesday, so MLB approached them and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: they were like, hey, Christopher Sanchez, see that you've you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: pitched a ton of innings. Your er is really good.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: You're next in line. Can you pitch on Tuesday? And
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Sanchez is like, actually, no, I can't. I'm gonna be
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: able to and they're like, all right, well screw it.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Then you're not an All Star. And then they went
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to Ranger Swerrez and they're like, hey, Ranger, you've been
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: pretty good. You got the resume here certainly all star caliber.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Can you pitch on Tuesday? And Rangers like, no, I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: just pitched right before the All Star break. I can't
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: pitch on Tuesday. And they're like, well, I guess you're
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: not an All Star either, and they ended up with
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Jacob Mazerowski. Ridiculous process. What I think should have happened
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is you have your All Star team and if anybody
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: needs to be replaced because they can't make it, they're injured,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: they can't make the All Star Game. They're a pitcher
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and they just threw on Saturday or Sunday, and they're
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: like I'm not turning around on Tuesday and facing some
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of the best hitters in the game throwing gas when
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that's not my routine. I don't want to take even
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a small chance that I could tweak something, that I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: could get banged up. Hey, if you say I can't
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: make it, that all you do. You're on the team.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Then you name a replacement, and they're known as just
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: that they are a replacement. That's it, right, they're crowd fillers.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: It was like at the Grammys or whatever. You go
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and you sit in the seat, but you're not an
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: All Star. You don't get All Star classification. If you
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: look at Jacob Mitzerowski, he's like Baseball Reference page. I
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: love anything that ends in reference, like Pro Football Reference,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Basketball Reference, Baseball Reference. Go to it all the time.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: If you go to Baseball Reference and look at Jacob Mizerowski,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it says one time All Star. It should not say
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that he's a replacement All Star. So Caitlin Clark, she
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: can't compete in the WNBA All Star Game. Whoever replaces
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: her should be an alternate, should be just that a replacement.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: They should not get All Star status. They're just filling in.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Am I crazy? Why the leagues make this way more
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: difficult than they need to. The NFL did this last year.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So Drake May had a pretty good year with the Patriots, right,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: he was a Pro Bowl fill in. If you look
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: at his Pro Football Reference page, one time Pro bowler,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: it's like, what he was a fill in. He's just
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a replacement guy. He wasn't one of the guys that
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: initially made it. What are we doing here? Like again,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: if you're looking at this and like Brian, what's the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: big deal?
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: This is not a big deal. It's for the fans
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: who cares. Some people might have that attitude. And the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: thing I would throw out there is it's something that
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber talked about. He's with the Phillies there and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: he talked about his teammates not being named to the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: All Star team. And it's like when we do the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: reunion thing when it's ten years from now or whatever,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: that's part of your resume. They read it off. They're
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: like five time All Stars, so and so that's part
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of the deal. So it matters. And so for the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Phillies pitchers who were next in line for them not
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: to get the nod just because they were unavailable to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: pitch on Tuesday is weird. But I also add that
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: if they just replacing someone, if they're just filling in,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't get All Star status anyway. It should be
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: here's the team. Here's who the the fans voted for.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Here's who the players voted for. Here's the team. We
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: have X amount of players. Here it is, and whoever
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: can't make it okay? Cool? We got to replace them
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: with these other dudes. They shouldn't get All Star status.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: How do you sneak in? That's the ultimate backdoor cover
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: right there?
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: HiT's the late bucket from half court to cover the spread.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: It's more than that. You're not an All Star. But
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: just because someone is hurt or pitches on Saturday or
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Sunday before the All Star Game, now you're an All Star.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That's the dumbest thing ever. Why did they make this
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: more complicated than it needs to be. If your a replacement,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: then that's all the status you get. You're a replacement
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: All Star doesn't mean you're an All Star. And here's
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: some audio here to back this up. Because the late
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: great Kobe Bryant when he was in his final season
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: in the NBA and he had the retirement tour. When
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: he's on the road, they do these grand you know,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: entrances for him. They announced him and you know, five
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: time champion. They rattle off his accomplishments. This was one
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of them on the road in Detroit, and they rattle
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: off how many All Star Game appearances he had, how
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: many times he was an All Star? Checked us out.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Hat six six two twelve pounds, Marion High School.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's final had the pot of all in
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Hills playing the season seventeen, the All Star, seventeen time
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: All Star right there, and they rattled off pretty much
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: everything else Kobe did in his career is way too long,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: so I just condensed it. Here's a portion of when
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: he was in Charlotte again his final season grand entrance.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: They're announcing him, They announced how many times he was
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: an All Star. It was side by side with how
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: many times do you want to ring? Like this matters.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: It's part of your resume. So if you're an All Star, great,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: If you need to be replaced, you're just a replacement, dude.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't get All Star status for that. Why is
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: this so? Why is it so difficult? It's not difficult
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: at all. It's very easy, system, very and yet these
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: leagues just complicated. I don't know why this whole Miserrowski thing.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't think of it at the time. I thought
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it was ridiculous at the time that Christopher Sanchez and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez got bypassed because they were unavailable, and then
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: they went to Maserowski. I thought that was ridiculous. So
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: the more I think about it, none of those freaking
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: guys should have had All Star status. If they're just replacements,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: you're just the alternate man. You're you're the crowd filler.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: You're sitting in the seat that needs to be filled.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: That that doesn't mean that those are your tickets. That
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that those are your seats. You're just filling in.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: All right, Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: your phone number? I want to hear from Craig. He's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Has a thought on this All Star Game madness?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Craig, You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: Good evening? Right, So he plays in the game. I
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: don't care who it is, just because I'm from Wisconsin.
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: It's a real But if you play in the game,
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: you're an All Star. Right, you played in the game.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: No, you're not not at all. Why not, because you're
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: an alternate. You're a replacement. You weren't voted in. You're
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a replacement for a guy who's not there. That doesn't
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: mean you're an All Star. You played in the game,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're an All Star.
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: Well, are you a talk show host tonight?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: You're a replacement, that's what I am. I'm a talk
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that's a bad comparison.
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: You still told somebody you host.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Okay, I it's right.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I'm a fill in a host. This doesn't mean because
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I'm filling in tonight that it's no longer the Ben
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Mallor Show and it's the Brian No Show. I'm filling
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in for Big Ben Maller. This isn't my shift from
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: now on. I'm filling in just as Miserowski was doing.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: What You're a host on the show tonight, right.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as a fill in?
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: But you don't don't. We don't say here's a fill
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: in host.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do. Actually, at the very top of the hour,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: now filling in for Ben Maller, here's Brian No. Listen
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: at the top of the hour they say exactly that.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: And filling in for big Ben Maller is.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Brian No, that's right, that's what they should do for
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: all these replacement players, you know, and now filling in
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: for I don't know who the original picture was, and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: then the Jacob Miserowski, No man if Drake may he
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: competed in the Pro Bowl festivities the Patriots quarterback. Just
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: because you are a fill in doesn't mean you should
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: get Pro Bowl status. Just because you're a fill in
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you should get All Star status.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: You should get All Star status because a bunch of
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: people vote you in, not about how you played. Because
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: people voted you in.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: They didn't vote in ms Rowski. Dude, what don't you understand, Craig,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: He's a replacement. He wasn't voted in.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: But the people who do get voted in, and there's
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: other people should be in front of them. That's okay,
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: though it's a popularity contest.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Well that's another subject, Craig, and there's someone no, no, no, listen,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you're getting into a completely different subject. Well we're talking.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: What I'm talking about is replacements. That's what I'm focused
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: on now. If you want to expand it and talk
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: about well, hey, listen, there's a representative from every team
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that's that doesn't mean we're getting the best players in there.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: That's a different converse. That's fine, we can have that conversation,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: but it's a different conversation. What I'm focused on are
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the replacements, like Caitlin Clark. That's the story that started
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: this whole thing. Caitlyn Clark isn't gonna be healthy for
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the WNBA All Star Game. Whoever fills in for her.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: She's a replacement. She shouldn't get All Star status just
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: because she's filling in for an injured player. She wasn't
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: originally voted in. She's just a replacement. You shouldn't get
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: All Star status for that. In my book, Hey, some
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: people disagree. Some people look at it like Craig and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I appreciate him checking in. They look at the Hey,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you played in the game, you should get All Star status.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I completely disagree just because you fill in and take
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the place. Like imagine if they had to keep going
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: and going and going and going to find someone who's available.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And now we're getting well down the list and we're
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: getting a guy that Wow, man, his credentials are pretty bad.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: And now just because he plays in the game, he's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: technically an All Star, he's recognized as such. That's ridiculous.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: That makes no sense none. It just doesn't. But that's
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: why I come out on it. Eight seven seven ninety
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: nine on Fox is your phone number? Good stuff? Though
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't know where we're gonna get spirited over that,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: but here we are.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I'm on your side with it, Brian.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Is it making sense to a radar Unless you're an
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: All Star?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: You can be a stand in?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: That's right, right, Yes.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: That does like same with like hait. No, I can't.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: He's not an All Star. Yeahink period.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm on board here. I agree with you with me.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Nice Tyler Huntley pro bowler?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, great example, Come on, man, Snoop Huntley. I didn't
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: realize his nickname was Snoop until he played for the Dolphins.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I did not know that and I was like, wow, okay,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Snoop Huntley it is. But yeah, Tyler Huntley is a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl dude, what are we doing He's not. I
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: bet if I go right now, I'm doing it right now,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: It'll say one time pro bowler Tyler Huntley. Let's see
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: it again. I'm a little slow on the draw when
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: it comes to googling things. But here we go Tyler Huntley.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: There it is played for the Ravens, played for the Dolphins,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: one time Pro Bowl. That's freaking ridiculous. It's well, he
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: played in the game, though, I don't care. I don't
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: care that he played in the game. He's not voted in.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: He's nowhere near a Pro bowler. He's like, I don't
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: know what number alternate he was. How many people did
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: they have to call before they got to Tyler Huntley?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: At that point, it's warm body status. We need any
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: warm body we can get to be in this freaking
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: game here. You shouldn't get Pro Bowl status for that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: That's a joke. That's an absolute joke.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: It is somebody just DM ME I think it was.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Who was it here? I think it was KGB. He
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: said that, he said that no one would take the
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: spot if they weren't named All Stars.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I disagree with that. Why why would you? So You've
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: got an open invitation to be on that stage and
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: rub rub elbows with some of the best players in
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the game, and you're like, nah, I'd just rather not.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna find anybody to do that. I completely
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: disagree with that. You wouldn't go right. Like again, Jacob Mizerowski,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you're telling me the only reason he went there is
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: because he got All Star status. There's no chance. Let's
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: say my idea. They finally think logically and say, okay,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you're just a replacement. You don't get All Star status,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: all right? And then MLB approaches Miszowski and says, hey,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: five stars, fantastic. We want to invite you to the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: All Star Game. Will you accept? He's gonna be like,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: do I get All Star status? Do I get recognized
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: as an All Star? And they're like, actually, no, you're
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a replacement. You don't get that status. And he's just like, yeah, no,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I'm good. There's no chance, he says, yet, that's ridiculous.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I don't buy that at all. Don't buy it at all.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: It's like, look, man, don't I think it's important to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: consider worst case scenario, but don't act like worst case
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: scenario is how could I say this is as likely
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: as you're making it out to be, You know what
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like, it's important to consider worst case scenario.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: The person that texted you justin it's something to consider. Hey,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: if you don't get All Star status. Are there gonna
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: be players that are going to the All Star Game?
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Are they just gonna say, yeah, I'm good, I'm busy,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just a replacement. No thanks. I mean it's something
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: to consider, but I don't buy it. I don't. I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: don't like no one. You can't find anyone who would
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: compete on that stage and elbows with that type of

  Speaker 3: They were doing a lot of acid at the time.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: That's no excuse. Hendrix was doing a ton of acid.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And look at his amazing music. He didn't come up
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: with anything as lame as Yellow Submarine.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Look, it was uh you know, I think I think
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Ringo wrote that song. It was like one of like
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: three Beatles songs that he wrote.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Man freaking Ringo. I want to hear the other two.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I hope the other two were better. Paul was like,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: all right, forget that, going forward, Ringo someone taking his pen? Answer,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that's right, all right, Let's get out to Poppy is
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. Let's get some picks from old Poppy
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: over here. What's going on Poppy here on Fox Sports Radio.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: Hey, honorary guess ran oh right here, part of the
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: real family. Hey, that's a pleasure. I'm gonna give you
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: some picks. Let's go off right at the back. Look tomorrow,
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: it's a revenge game for who you guys know the Brewer.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Look at the Dodgers they got thank thank around sweat
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: and I really like the picture goth Now and you.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: Can take the money line, guys, minus one ada right now,
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: or we're gonna go for the minus one and a
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: half runt because they're gonna think they're gonna win by
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: more than two runs. In La Old Tony's probably gonna
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: hit a room run. So that's the future prop bat
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: for you. And we're gonna close it right here strong
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: with the UFC of Brian O. UFC three eighteen, we
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: got Max Holloway. He's a BMX champion against Dustin Prayer
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: and he's from Louisiana. And the thing is the UFC fight.
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: It's gonna be in Louisiana, Brian, But you got to
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: think about like this, it's in Louisiana, right, ticket prices
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: are off the root, like it's in Las Vegas, so
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: not the locals are gonna be there. It's only gonna
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: be people that are traveling, not the locals there. I
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: did like justin Premier the locals right there. It's just
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: retiring match, Brian.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: No, like he's retiring.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: But I gotta go with Max Holloway. He's a champion
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: and that's plus one hundred, that's even money. So that's
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: what I'm liking for UFC. And what do you think
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: about that? Brian?
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just disappointed we didn't get any Summer League picks
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: in here, Poppy. I gotta be honest with you, man,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: where are those?
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, look on the Summer League game with a
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: good better do is look at the lines. Whatever you're
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: seeing on there. We can take one right now, and
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: we're gonna go with their dogs because with the Summer League,
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: all the best players are not playing there. So I mean,
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: what are you like in Brian? I just what's the
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: underdog that you're liking.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I haven't looked for the games tomorrow, and sometimes the
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: lines don't even come out for a little bit. But
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I do like the Raptors to win it all. It's
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: down to the final four and the Raptors are playing
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: real defense. I don't know what the future odds are.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: It's got to be plus money, like they're all gonna
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: be plus money. But I'd imagine that the Raptors are
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: probably the favorite. They've played really well. They're undefeated. I
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: think they have the best point differential still, but they
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: play real defense. Poppy, I'm kicking myself. I had a
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: two leg parlay ready to go. I had the older
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: in the Hornets, I had the over in the Hornets game.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I had the under in the Raptors game, and both
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: were easy cashes, and I didn't play it. What's wrong
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: with me? Pop?
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's okay. You're gonna bounce back and just to
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: a straight bat, Brian, both of them straight and you'll
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: be fine. You know, you'll hit one, and if you
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: don't hit the other ones, at least you cash one
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: even money.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: No doubt. That's good advice, Poppy. I appreciate that.
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: He's right. I rarely play the parlays every now and then.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll dabble a little dabble here and there
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: won't kill you.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I need to issue a correction.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: What do you have?
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Ringo did not write Yellow Submarine. That was written by
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: by Paul and John.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Paul and John.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: It was written for Ringo to sing. Ringo wrote Octopus's Garden.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with that one. I'd have to check
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: that out and report back to you. I don't know
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: that one as well. I've heard, however many times I've
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: heard Yellow Submarine. It's it's been a lot, and it's
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: been too many, like like one is too many. It's
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: a bad song. Sorry, I don't know what to tell you,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: but yeah, Dustin Pourier taken on Max Holloway Poppy is
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: team Holloway on that? Okay? Fair enough?
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: What what other bright ideas did the Beatles have? Did
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Ringo sing anything else?
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: That?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: That's a It was that Ringo the whole time singing
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: that song.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think there's parts where there's like.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: All of them they on that one. Gotcha group play?
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Huh Yeah, only you, Coop, I swear only you. That's
