  Speaker 1: See how that You see how that works?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yet? See that's impactful?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, very impactful.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: All right, so our lead this hour, don't pay the lead,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: my man. Well, here's the story I didn't think would
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: be on my radar today. I know Angry Bill is
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: going to.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Be all excited. Keep your pants on, Angry Bills.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, So we go to Capitol Hill where the streams
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: cross politics and sports, and it turns out that Caitlin Clark,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the star who actually made people do the impossible watch
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: women's college basketball and the WNB, Caitlin Clark has sparked
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a Beltway bureaucratic beat down. Yeah, yeah, this is what
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: happens So if you didn't hear about this or see this,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: maybe you missed it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you didn't see it. So we have learned a
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: group of.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Eleven Republican lawmakers led by a representative from Texas, August Fluger,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I believe is the gentleman's name. I've never heard of him,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but apparently he's a big deal. I guess I don't know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: So these guys sent a letter to the WNBA Commissioner.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I am told that is someone named Kathy Ingelbert, demanding
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: accountability for repeated unnecessary physical hostility and violence against our girl,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark, who may call the face of the league,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: for driving massive growth in popularity, ratings and sponsorships.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So that's true.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: If Kitlyn Clark's playing, people watch. If she's not playing,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: it's the same old song and dance, nobody's and attention.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: So they cited incidents like hip check's eyepokes and a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: throat strike. It's like the Three Stooges back in the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: old vaudeville days of Hollywood, hip checks ipokes, and the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: old throat strike. Of course, the famous flagrant foul by
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: someone named Alyssa Thompson or Thomas.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I guess that's her name. I don't know who that is.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Anyway, they raised concerns about the possible racial motivation, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: they urged stronger officiating and player accountability. It's a very
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: wordy thing here. Now here's the part where it gets good.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: This gets cranked up a couple of notches. So they
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: warned a stern finger wag. They weren't warned of potential
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: federal civil rights investigations if a hostile environment exists. Now
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: these lawmakers on Capitol Hill there, they requested response by
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: July twenty fourth, so a little.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Over two weeks on review.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: They want review processes, enforcement and anti harassment measures in
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: place to protect Caitlin Clark. So that is a good
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. You've got
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Congress calling out the WNBA for the treatment of Caitlin Clark.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Where do you see this one going. So I've got
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: my view on this. I've got slaughterhouse hyenas and private
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: piano lessons, and we will combine all of these things
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: together and we are going to have a stampede, is
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: what we're going to have that will cut to the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: bone to the bone to the bone to the bone,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to the bone to the bone, that's what's gonna do. So,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: first of all, this story Congress calling out the WNBA
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: over Caitlin Clark is a quantum physics story, meaning there
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: are two versions of reality existing simultaneously.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: On one hand, you have DC.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Politicians, these lawmakers who are selling tickets to a kabuki theater.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It's easy.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: The headline on the movie billboard is America's sweetheart is
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: under attack. It's the easiest base pleasing script ever put
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: out there, right, grandstanding, which goes with the territory.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: If you're a politician.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And it's cynically manufacturing outrage and you get some cheap
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: political points, and who doesn't like cheap political points.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's like cherry picktt, you got a cheap political point.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: However, to me, the better the wilder story here, which
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: is also going on at the exact same time, the
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: w NBA is acting like Caitlin Clark is the problem
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and not the sole reason that anyone even cares about them,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: right that anyone's actually watching their terrible product. It's they're
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: so convinced that they're good, and it's not because of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark and all that and that's the part that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: blows me. The league is recklessly sending its own golden
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: goose right to the slaughterhouse like a butterball Turkey would
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: go there right before Thanksgiving, subjecting the face of the franchise,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the greatest player they've ever had in terms of branding
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and marketing all that, and who's responsible.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: For the ratings increase.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And yet targeted for physicality.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: The officiating, I guess, is not good. I don't really
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: pay that much attention to it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: There's a lot This has become a political hot potato here,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: which is why the politicians are involved. And I'm telling
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you keep it up, and you mark my words here
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm never wrong about this.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: You keep this going.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Here, and the WNBA will drive away the very player
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: that they were dreaming of that they got and they're
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: not going to keep.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They're not going to keep her. She'll leave.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark could easily pack her bag and go to Europe.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And there's apparently some elite teams. I don't follow women's basketball,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: but I heard there were some teams in the place,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: like Turkey and France that will app happily, happily pay
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: her a lot more money than she's making in the WNBA,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and they'll pay for her housing. They'll treat her like
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a queen royal treatment there, leaving the WNBA in the dust.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how this plays out.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Typically, when they do these type of things to score
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: political points, they being politicians, nothing actually comes of it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: It's just to get some cheap headlines on the net,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and so we'll see if.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: This is different. Now.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Secondly, we now transition over to the World Cup. No games,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: no games on Wednesday. Instead the hullabaloo over hydration not
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a game, not a game. We in here talking about hydration.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: So the sports business geeks breathlessly reported that Fox may
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: that's a weel word, may earn four hundred and fifty
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: million dollars just from the hydration breaks, pretty much covering
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the price they paid for the rights package to get
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the World Cup. Now, there has been a grassroots movement
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to get rid of these extra timeouts. They are ghastly,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: it is blasphemy for the hardcore soccer people around the world,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: they're very.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Offended by this.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: How could you possibly ruin our sport with these hydration
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: breaks midway through each half? So the question for the
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: esteemed panel. Global football fans are demanding the end of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: these hydration breaks.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: How does this movie end? What is the ending of
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: this movie?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: So the Dingleberries, the Mama Lukes who are behind this
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: on these hydration breaks are being unrealistic and way too emotional,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: all right. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. FIFA found a way
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: for better or worse. They found a way to print
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: money without changing the rules too much.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It's a tweak here, it's a tweak there.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Do you think, just between you and I, do you
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: think that they're going to give that back? No? No, no, no,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: purest want romance. FIFA wants ROI return on investment. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: look at this the same way I look at you
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: idiots that vote for props that raise taxes, and they said, well,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: that's only going to be for a short time and
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: then we'll get rid of the tax Oh no, no, no,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that's there forever. They never get rid of taxes. Ninety
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: nine percent of those taxes stay there forever, forever and ever,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: because they say, oh, we'll get a vote, we're going
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: to repurpose the tax money.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: This is not going anywhere right now.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: The big shots who are involved in global soccer, big
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: soccer they are salivating, all right. They will tell you
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the people that run FIFA, they have a fudiciary responsibility
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to the stakeholders in the World Cup there and the
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: global football ecosystem and all that to maximize.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: The value of the World Cup.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: And the people that are involved in this they see
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: those hydration breaks the same way a hyena sees an
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: injured gazelle out on the serengetti. Uh, They're like, oh man,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it's dinner time. On delivering hundreds of millions of extra
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: dollars in ad revenue for Fox alone, while the numbers
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: have been pretty good, will see if they continue without
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Team USA. And the main reason here that this is
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: not going anywhere. They're going to try to get four
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: times the money that they got from Fox is they
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: want Netflix and Disney and all these other companies to
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: bid on the World Cup the next time it comes around,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: So the hydration breaks.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: The other thing that I've heard a lot is they're
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a step forward. They are a step forward into the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: americanization of the grind old game and the stop start,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: commercial heavy style of American sports where you watch a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: basketball game and it takes thirty five minutes to play
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the final thirty seconds because they have to review everything.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: When Steph Curry picks his nose, they've got to see
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: you did he use his middle finger, did he use
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: his pointer finger? What color was the booger? There's people
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: betting on that. They need to know. The NFL somebody
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: goes into the injury tent. We need to, you know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: stop the game for half an hour. Lamar Jackson goes
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to drop a deuce because he ate too much food
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the night before. That gets covered. That's a stop in
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the game. But that's what we're used to it. The
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: natural flow is routinely interrupted for advertising revenue, and this
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: has always been the problem with soccer on television in America.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Continuous forty five minute halves have always been a point
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: of demarcation. While the people that love that sport, the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: grand old game, will say, oh, it's a it's a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: point of pride.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It's what we do.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: We stand out, you don't stand out, And now they're
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: being carved up regardless. I love the fact that they
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: just pause the game in these dome stadiums. It's nice day,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: perfect weather, it's like in the in the sixties in.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: SoCal and oh no, we're gonna pause the game.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Gotta get that time out in that three minute break,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Gotta get that in. So, as a distant relative of
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Nostra Damis and a friend of Nostradnus well I used
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to be friends, we expect them. Here's what's gonna happen.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: It's gonna blow your mind, all right, here's what we
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: expect to happen. We expect FIFA to add a second
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: commercial break.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Now, whether they call it a hydration.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Break or some other you're gonna scratch your scratch your
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: back break or scratch something else break.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen, right.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Because it creates more added value, more inventory to sell
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: in the advertising world. And it's this isn't a charity.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: It's not we worship tradition. We don't care about that.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It's about fulfilling our duty or their duty to generate
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: sustainable revenue and all that. And so it doesn't matter
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: how much you purest complain about the soul of the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: game being sucked out of the game, you fail to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: understand the basic economics of it, or you just choose
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to ignore it. Soccer did not lose its soul. It
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: just licensed its soul for commercial use for a nominal fee,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they were able to sell it. So that's just the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: way it's going to be, all right, final thought, We
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: go now to a story that was generated by our
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: former morning guy, our old pal Clay Travis, who's now
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: doing like political stuff. But Clay Travis said that, but
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you soccer development has to get more affordable.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Now, that alone would not really rise.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: To the level of a mention on a male monologue. However,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it's what happened next that caught my attention. So the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: argument's rather simple. It's too expensive to play soccer, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that if you really want the great athletes to play soccer,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you should make it more affordable. That's basic. So the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Fox commentator Alexi Lawless entered the chat, how about Alexi Lallis.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: This guy's getting a lot of traction in the matrix.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: So Alexi Lallis, the longtime soccer broadcaster and soccer player
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: for many years, is catching a lot of shrapnel for
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: responding to our old morning guy and defending the high
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: cost of you soccer, framing it as a business serving
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of willing customers. They're not forced to pay
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: for this, it's not entitlement. This of course, triggered strong
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: backlash from people that want everything given to them and
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: people accusing Alexi LALs and being out of touch with the.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: World and his priorities are messed up.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: It's not right, and ignoring the limited access is hurting
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the sport of soccer. All right, So the question you've
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: got the former player and commentator. Now Alexi lawis defending
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the business model of youth soccer as a for profit
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: business while getting bashed. So who wins this argument? So
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Alexi loss did? He did not defend the pay to play.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: He defended the reality. That's the way I look at this.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: He defended the reality. And the critics are losing their
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: minds over basic math.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: All right. They're screaming for the European model.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: They have a centralized in a lot of the European countries,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: they have centralized soccer academies.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It's a little helter skelter.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: In the States, and the people are doing that are
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: completely blind to the economic plumbing behind the walls. MLS
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: is on Apple Plus. They're not getting the Premier League
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: money on Apple plus plus plus plus plus plus and
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: international transfer fees and all that. They're not getting those
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: kind of things in the MLS. So without parent funding,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: American soccer's infrastructure completely craters. There's just not enough interest
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: in it. There's not enough people that want to be
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: part of it for to work. So besides that, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: don't understand the double standard. That's the part I don't
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: get it because I don't see people throwing a public
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: tantrum when you know you got kids, and your daughter,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: little Jenny, wants to be an elite gymnast and in
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: order to do that, you got to cut a fat
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: check to have her in gymnastics. Or your kid, little Tommy,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: wants to play baseball and he's on a try traveling league,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Well that sucks. Or your kids not into sports and
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: they love music and they want to play the piano,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and that means they have to have private piano lessons
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and it all costs money.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: That's how it works. It's essentially like a service industry.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Parents are willingly paying out money because they value high
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: quality teaching, whether it's gymnastics, baseball, soccer, whatever it might be.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And again the soccer whacka doodles out there. They want
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: this magical, cost free utopia and this is gonna blow
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: your away. I learned this from my parents. They taught
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: me as a little boy, and I think it's still true.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Everything has a price tag. Everything somebody always pays. What
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: are you talking about? I got free money from you
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: know during COVID.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Trust me, somebody always pays.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Even free comes with shipping and handling usually paid by
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: who the taxpayer right. And you can bash the business
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: model all you want, However, you can't wish away the cost,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the invoices and all that. So Alexei Lawless wins this
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: argument because he understands how the world works, and you're
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: not going to get elite coaching in pristine fields and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: all that stuff unless you've got some kind.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Of cash app or credit card or one of those.

  Speaker 1: is the answer?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says Tom Brady said the
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: drama of wide receivers like having the runs when you
• 23:36

  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a bit of a problem there.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Alfie alien O Pinter says it's like the talk soup
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: of the NFL.
• 23:44

• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Look at the focus, look at the anger, look at
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the velocity. Look at the spin rate on that. Robbie
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the Mariner fans a nerd. He'd look at the spin
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: rate and said, well that's pretty good spin rate, pretty
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: good spin rate. Eileen in San Francisco says Tom Brady

• 24:21
  Speaker 2: in the tukis from Eke and rosewo Minnesota, Incata says

• 25:37
  Speaker 2: like Petros Loves Loves those types of shows.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I just can't get into the drama of it.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Not into it, not your not your thing.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah no, I feel like they're just doing it for
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: the television, you know.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: You think, yeah, you think you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: As I was told by a veteran TV producer, nothing
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: happens organically on television. Everything is planned out and a
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: lot of what you see on the internet is also
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: scripted reality.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: It's not real. Some people aren't that smart and they
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: think it's all real. Let's go to the phones.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Mode Joe Rising in the Bay Area,
• 26:15

  Speaker 2: all good.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I was listening, you know, I listen all the time,
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: and last night I was agreeing with your comments about
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: how you know soccer has just taken over the world
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: for now with the World Cup, and I agree that.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: You know, once it's over that that's Americans. You know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: it's just not really our sport, even though everybody, oh,
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: they love soccer so much and it's the greatest thing
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: in the world. But you're right, mister Ben. After it's
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: over the World Cup, soccer is going to go away
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: here in America, Like you know, everybody, Oh, it's the
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: greatest thing in the world. And don't get me wrong,
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: it's pretty cool. I've been watching it, and you know,
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: it's just but it's just not our sport man. You know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: it's three weeks away from America's sport or football, right,
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: you know, the greatest pastime, even though technically is supposed
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: to be baseball. But come on, you know everybody knows
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: that NFL is king.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, it's been that way for I don't know,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: thirty five years, the NFL has been the king, so
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: at least, if not longer than that, So it has.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been that way. Mojo, where did he go? Mojo?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Are you there?
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So, I mean it must there must be like a
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: satellite delay. I think there's a satur you know, you
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: do TV there's a set, had a light told normally
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: on a radio.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: There's not a satellite today, normally not.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: I was I was waiting for your amazing take. Thame
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: because I let you down.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't give you a great take. That was a
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: mediocre that was a loopwarm take. I did not give
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: you a great take. That's a bad job by me.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I should have given you a better take. I apologize
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: that was a mediocre take.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: Is like, I think it's just like let in the NFL,
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: And you know I'm a big time Raider fanning you
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: were going to say something about the autumn wind that
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: no longer exists in Vegas. What are you going?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like a train seal here. I can bounce.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I can bounce. The beach fell on my nose.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it will be a little bit competitive,
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: but they're not going to be much better.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you know when six games they went six and eleven, they're.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: About five games, right, five games?
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Well, we know, we know Cousins just can't play anymore.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: He sucks.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: They don't have any receivers that are that great, and
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: then Cousins will get hurt, and then Mendoza can't play.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: So other than that, they're fine.
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: You know, well, you know, I mean, people forget I mean,
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: and he's not that he's I mean, he's been around. Actually,
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: O'Connell's a decent quarterback. He started quite a few games
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: in the NFL, and last year he broke his hand,
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: so he was out the whole season. So I'm thinking
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: that he if he didn't break his hand then because
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: Geno Smith was horrible, you know, and then Kenny Pinkett
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: was just as bad. So I think if O'Connor wouldn't
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: have been hurt last year, they probably would have went
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: to him because anything would have been better than Gino Smith,
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: even though just asked the Jets though they got the
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: greatest quarterback in the world, they got their quarterback, So
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: who knows, man, you know, I know.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, listen eight and O'Connell's the third stin quarterback
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: on the Raiders, so you could he could play this
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: year if he makes the team, if they keep three quarterbacks,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: they probably will will be he'll be a favorite quarterback
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: who's better option.
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: Than a better Cousins though, and you're right, and Mendoza,
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: he'll he'll be okay. But they had to take him
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: because he was the only quarterback that was available.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Well, they had to take him just in case he
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: turns out to be good, because if he turned out
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: to be good and they.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Didn't take them, then that way they would have held
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to pay.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: All right, the great Mojoe Rising, he'll be making appearances
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: all over the Bay Area there, entertaining you as only
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: he could do. Never ever underestimate the power of mo
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Joe Horizon. All right, let's go now to a woman
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: who always.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Brings the heat. And she's like.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: I used the line the other day, a super califragilist
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: at est bi Alidosius, the astrology Insider.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: We say hello to Andrea in the Bay Area. Hello Andrea, welcome, Hello.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: Dan, how are you doing?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: If I was any better, I would be a giant. However,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: not a San Francisco giant. They lost ten to nothing
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and almost got no hit by the Toronto Blue Jays.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: That I didn't play baseball, But that seems like that's
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: not that good.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that was kind of brutal. And yeah, Logan Webb,
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: you know it's don't waste the ace. Usually he turns
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: in a better start, but not today. And yeah, the
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: capricorn Dylan c'es. He did quite well for himself. That
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: was impressive of no hitter. Actually watched the game until
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: the eighth inning and they gave up a hit, but
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: they still won ten nothing.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: So yes, yes, generally, well you didn't at least you
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: didn't get completely embarrassed, although I would say losing ten
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: nothing is pretty.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Embarrassing, right. I don't know. That's a little tough, But
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you didn't call for that. You have other things on
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: your agenda, do you not?
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: No.
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: When you mentioned cosmic justice, I looked at we talked
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: about Verlander and you were talking about fellow Tauris on
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: Mattingly to know that he's a taurust.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Donnie Baseball. Yeah, he's an April guy, right sometime.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: In April's birthday's four twenty Oh.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Look at the head, don Maddingly.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: He loves the weed. That believable.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, we hippie will get a kick out
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: of that one. So not only is he a Taurus
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: for twenty, but he's born on four twenty, nineteen sixty one,
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: and you know it's a fellow Taurus. He brings that determined,
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: powerful nature. So I'm not surprised that the Phillies are
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: doing a lot better with him, you know, managing, so
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: I could see if he wants to continue that that
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: could be a good fit. So just wanting to give
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: a shout out that he has a strong chart with
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: the Taurus energy justin Bertlander. You know, I remember actually
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: when he was pitching with a Giant and he he
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: didn't what was one am I trying to say? Some
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: like he didn't pitch well, he didn't finish with a
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: good winning record, you know, like his era.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Was really low. Yeah, he was chasing.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: He's been chasing wins to try to get the three
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: hundred and that's obviously not happening.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: And a lot of that was with the I mean
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: you had a bunch of starts.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I remember with the Giants, no decisions or losses, no
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: wins and yeah right, I.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: Mean sixty six when with the Giants it was so
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: super frustrating because she pits well enough to win, but
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: he wouldn't get the win.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, yeah, yeah, well that you know, it's humbuggery,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: is what that is.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: But all right, listen to Andrea. Thank you so much.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Virgo in service, if you'd like to reach out to
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: our friend Andrea. She's all about the cosmos there, and
• 33:30
