Speaker 1: not just any express. We're talking about express employment profession Now,
2:39
Speaker 1: if you work in logistics, you know nothing moves without you.
2:44
Speaker 1: Companies need skilled people right now, they need them right now,
2:49

Speaker 1: get options, and get to work. So our lead this
3:09
Speaker 1: hour is our in depth team coverage from the Valley
3:12
Speaker 1: of the Sun. All Star goes a Wall, All Star
3:17
Speaker 1: Goes a Wall. The story continues to evolve. We're talking
3:22
Speaker 1: about the Diamondbacks. If you haven't been paying attention. Not
3:25
Speaker 1: a good baseball team, not a terrible team. They are
3:27
Speaker 1: a team stuck in the middle. Diamondbacks are a contender
3:31
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and the back door of the
3:33
Speaker 1: playoffs called the wild card. But nobody's considering them a
3:36
Speaker 1: good team. So the Diamondbacks anyway, are now saying, guess
3:40
Speaker 1: who's coming back? Who that's right? Could tell Martey said
3:47
Speaker 1: to be returning the Diamondbacks targeting next week. Yes, the
3:51
Speaker 1: same could tell Marte, who went away and said bye bye.
3:56
Speaker 1: He deserted his post. He deserted his post. Marte was
4:01
Speaker 1: initially placed on the restricted list, Baseball's naughty List. He
4:05
Speaker 1: didn't show up to Fenway Park the d Backs and
4:08
Speaker 1: Socks were playing baseball. He decided he had other things
4:12
Speaker 1: to do, likely at one of the casinos based on
4:14
Speaker 1: his recent activity, and so he didn't show up. The
4:17
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks are like, we don't know where he is, so
4:20
Speaker 1: there you go.
4:21
Speaker 2: Now.
4:21
Speaker 1: Arizona later moved him after almost a week. They moved
4:25
Speaker 1: to tell Marte to the ten day injured list because
4:28
Speaker 1: of what they claimed was very mild inflammation, which sounds
4:33
Speaker 1: like they made it up. Anyway, Yeah, to his left
4:37
Speaker 1: knee all of a sudden named miraculous rehab. Now, while
4:41
Speaker 1: that was going on, Marte also decided to go out
4:45
Speaker 1: and enjoy a nice night at the casino while the
4:48
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks were playing a game. Marte has not addressed his
4:53
Speaker 1: unexplained absence to the team. The story here is Tory Lavello,
4:59
Speaker 1: who likely coaching his final days in Arizona. The way
5:03
Speaker 1: things have been going here, so he's really embarrassed himself
5:05
Speaker 1: the last month being a terrible leader of men, Tory Leavello,
5:09
Speaker 1: and it's a shame he's just been exposed as a fraud.
5:12
Speaker 1: Ah heyway, Levello, here's more evidence of that. He was
5:16
Speaker 1: talking about the situation with Cotel Marte and he said
5:21
Speaker 1: that the organization is trying to create a quote soft space,
5:26
Speaker 1: he said, softest space possible for Marte to return to
5:30
Speaker 1: the clubhouse about a week from now. That is a
5:34
Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question as
5:39
Speaker 1: this co tell Marte's story is completely off the rails.
5:43
Speaker 1: It's bananas, it's wild, that's goofy, it's all those things.
5:46
Speaker 1: How does a player desert his team, doesn't show up
5:51
Speaker 1: to work, leaves his manager feeling quote betrayed, quote betrayed,
5:58
Speaker 1: and then is welcome back to a quote soft space
6:03
Speaker 1: in Arizona. So I've got Happy Hour, Dave Ramsey and
6:08
Speaker 1: Black Eyed Susan, and we will combine all all of
6:13
Speaker 1: these things together and we are gonna make some lasagna.
6:16
Speaker 1: Not Tommy lasagna, We're just gonna make classic lasagna. So,
6:20
Speaker 1: first of all, this is a master class, and I
6:24
Speaker 1: do want to give Arizona credit. This is a master
6:27
Speaker 1: class in being a snake. The Diamondbacks. There's a bunch
6:32
Speaker 1: of snakes and their activity is that of a serpent
6:36
Speaker 1: like move. So the Diamondbacks Happy Hour special at the
6:41
Speaker 1: mom and pop diner, the happy hour special, the Diamondbacks
6:44
Speaker 1: happy hour situation. Soup sandwiches. Yep, they're selling soup sandwiches.
6:50
Speaker 1: What is a soup sandwich? Well, it's something you eat
6:52
Speaker 1: when you're completely disheveled, disorganized, chaotic and dysfunctional like the Diamondbacks.
6:59
Speaker 1: You enjoy a nice soup sandwich, and katel Marte goes
7:03
Speaker 1: a wall. He no shows winds up at a casino
7:08
Speaker 1: during a game. Tory Levello is gobsmacked when he's asked
7:12
Speaker 1: about it postgame, and he then says, you know what
7:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I Am going to be a marshmallow,
7:19
Speaker 1: a delicious marshmallow, and that's going to be my style.
7:23
Speaker 1: I'm Manager Marshmallow. That's my nickname, Manager Marshmallow and soft
7:29
Speaker 1: sticky collapsing on the ender any kind of mild heat,
7:33
Speaker 1: Tory Levello collapsing. So katel Marte, who's clearly acting like
7:38
Speaker 1: a drama queen, an absolute drama queen, and insisted on
7:45
Speaker 1: drawing a line in the desert right between a couple
7:48
Speaker 1: of cac die and Arizona responds. How did the Diamondbacks respond?
7:53
Speaker 1: They say, well, how can we make you more comfortable?
7:56
Speaker 1: Your highness? How can we help you? What can we do?
8:01
Speaker 1: Boo boo? What can we do? Boo boo? Come on,
8:05
Speaker 1: they fluffed the pillows? Why not? He wanted fluffy pillows?
8:08
Speaker 1: Could tell Marte got fluffy pillows? He got that he
8:12
Speaker 1: asked for the room temperature to be to his liking.
8:14
Speaker 1: So they turned the temperature down a little bit. No problem.
8:17
Speaker 1: Way to go. Now, what they should do is follow
8:20
Speaker 1: the Andy Van s Like technique. Now, if you're old
8:23
Speaker 1: enough to remember, there was this baseball player was pretty good,
8:26
Speaker 1: all star I believe a few times, not the greatest
8:28
Speaker 1: of all time, but had a kid that played in
8:31
Speaker 1: the major leagues. Andy Van's Like. Now, he had a
8:33
Speaker 1: famous philosophy on Barry Bonds. They were teammates in Pittsburgh.
8:38
Speaker 1: Do you remember what his philosophy was in the late
8:40
Speaker 1: eighties early nineties. You don't remember. Yeah, yeah, So the
8:44
Speaker 1: philosophy from Andy Van's Like on Barry Bonds was quote,
8:48
Speaker 1: I'd rather lose without him than win with him. Yeah,
8:55
Speaker 1: that is something that diamondback should do. They're better off
8:58
Speaker 1: not being as good a baseball team with co Tell Marte.
9:01
Speaker 1: Let him go run off to some other team. Get
9:04
Speaker 1: rid of him. You'll be less talented, and it's still
9:08
Speaker 1: a better avenue to go down. It's a better avenue
9:13
Speaker 1: to go down. And instead Arizona's doing the opposite. They're
9:16
Speaker 1: a spineless franchise. They are cowtowing to cantell Marte, which
9:22
Speaker 1: is embarrassing. And trust me, the entire locker room knows
9:26
Speaker 1: how ridiculous this is and how humiliating this is. And
9:32
Speaker 1: so they're coddling Marte and they're turning the clubhouse around
9:38
Speaker 1: to I'm surprised that I'd be surprised that they don't
9:42
Speaker 1: feel it with at least a couple of emotional support animals.
9:45
Speaker 1: It's like the emotional support lounge with theme lighting and
9:50
Speaker 1: the proper music and all that. Can someone there please
9:54
Speaker 1: grow a spine? Can someone please grow a spine? There?
9:58
Speaker 2: All right?
9:58
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, secondly to Sunday we go the Padres making some
10:03
Speaker 1: news Jose Feliciano and someone named Kwanza Jones. I have
10:09
Speaker 1: no idea who these people are, except they've got more
10:12
Speaker 1: money than me, and they are the new owners. They
10:15
Speaker 1: were formally introduced as the new owners of the Padres.
10:18
Speaker 1: They are the controlling owners. They call the shots in
10:21
Speaker 1: San Diego, after purchasing the franchise earlier this month, officially
10:26
Speaker 1: a Major League Baseball valuation of three point nine billion
10:32
Speaker 1: for the Padres. Now, when I worked in San Diego,
10:35
Speaker 1: they always complained to Padres. They said, listen, we are
10:38
Speaker 1: boxed in we're boxing, They said, we got If you
10:41
Speaker 1: go out to the west, you've got the big blue
10:44
Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean. If you go south, you've got Mexico. And
10:49
Speaker 1: if you go to the east for miles and miles,
10:53
Speaker 1: you have nothing but sand and cactus all the way
10:57
Speaker 1: through Arizona and whatnot. And to the you've got the Dodgers.
11:01
Speaker 1: Back then, they used to talk about the Angels. The
11:03
Speaker 1: Angels are such an embarrassment. They don't really consider the
11:05
Speaker 1: Angels like any kind of a threat, so they're more
11:08
Speaker 1: worried about the Dodgers. So the Potters always boxed it.
11:10
Speaker 1: They sold for three point nine billion. Now Feliciano, the
11:15
Speaker 1: controlling owner, immediately talked about what do you think world series?
11:20
Speaker 1: Right off sports cliche dot com. Right off sports cliche
11:24
Speaker 1: dot com. Talking about winning the World Series, he said, quote,
11:27
Speaker 1: we need to win a world Series. It's that simple,
11:30
Speaker 1: and that's what we're going to do, all right, Uh,
11:33
Speaker 1: san diego, how many World Series of the Potter is one? See?
11:37
Speaker 1: Not one? Yeah? Not one? Not one? Any not one? Zero,
11:41
Speaker 1: zippo bupkis squad do nothing, all right? So Feliciano saying
11:47
Speaker 1: that also, we're going to live within our means. We're
11:52
Speaker 1: going to live within our means, he said, And of
11:55
Speaker 1: course that can mean many different things. Living within our means.
12:01
Speaker 1: All right, so the question are the lovable Padre fans
12:06
Speaker 1: being sold a bill of goods with all this? We're
12:09
Speaker 1: all in conversation from the new ownership group. So this
12:15
Speaker 1: whole thing was cringeworthy. Is the word I will use
12:19
Speaker 1: most of these news conferences where ownership is introduced just unnecessary,
12:24
Speaker 1: really unnecessary. They still go on. If you're a Padre officionado,
12:30
Speaker 1: your stomach should have dropped through the floor the moment
12:34
Speaker 1: Jose Feliciano came out the new owner and uttered those
12:37
Speaker 1: four magic words, live within our means, that's it doomsday. Doomsday.
12:48
Speaker 1: So let's get this straight. You just paid three point
12:51
Speaker 1: nine billion dollars for the San Diego Padres, and now
12:55
Speaker 1: you're giving the fan base a lecture from the Dave
12:59
Speaker 1: Rams school of baseball ownership that you're going to be frugal,
13:04
Speaker 1: you're going to save your money. Okay. Uh. Then you
13:08
Speaker 1: had Quansa Jones I believe is the woman's name. She
13:13
Speaker 1: opened this thing up by saying, we're all in. It's
13:15
Speaker 1: not lip service. Five minutes later, her husband is reaching
13:20
Speaker 1: for the financial water wings if you will, and she
13:25
Speaker 1: also gave us one of the great drops Kwansai Jones.
13:28
Speaker 1: Do we have that? Do we have the drop? I
13:30
Speaker 1: don't know if we do or not.
13:31
Speaker 3: We're gonna win, We're gonna win, win at all.
13:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, there she is right there. That's her. That's your owner.
13:37
Speaker 1: And if the ownership thing doesn't work out, she could
13:39
Speaker 1: always be part of the Padre pep squad. Right now
13:42
Speaker 1: the pod squad played again, played again. Over here, this
13:45
Speaker 1: is the new owner of the Padres right here, this
13:46
Speaker 1: is your new owner. We're gonna win. We're gonna win
13:50
Speaker 1: to win at all. Okay, go Padres, way to go, yes, okay.
13:58
Speaker 1: A lot of corporate gobbled thee gook. I heard a
14:02
Speaker 1: lot of corporate gobbledygook from the Padres introductory news conference theater,
14:07
Speaker 1: not Kabuki theater. It was close to it. Introductory news
14:11
Speaker 1: conference theater there where everything's great, We're we're gonna be
14:14
Speaker 1: wonderful owners. And oh man, they're notut there kissing babies
14:18
Speaker 1: and handing out free balloons. Look at the rainbow. Look
14:22
Speaker 1: at that nice rainbow. That whole thing so saying the
14:26
Speaker 1: right things. Saying the right things cost absolutely nothing. Doesn't
14:33
Speaker 1: cost you any money to say the right things. Signing
14:36
Speaker 1: the checks actually cost you money. And that's where the
14:40
Speaker 1: rubber meets the road. That's the issue there. Peter Sidler
14:44
Speaker 1: rest in peace. Peter Sidler the owner of the Padres
14:48
Speaker 1: last few years. He passed away atu about a year ago.
14:50
Speaker 1: Actually a lot more than that, but he operated as
14:53
Speaker 1: a blank check owner in San Diego. The greatest owner
14:56
Speaker 1: in San Diego has had. One of my buddies in
14:58
Speaker 1: San Diego said, this is the greatest owner we they
15:00
Speaker 1: ever had in San Diego any professional sports team, the
15:02
Speaker 1: late Peter Sidler. And that's that's the shoes you have
15:06
Speaker 1: to fill as the new owners of the Padres. And
15:09
Speaker 1: he understood, the previous owner understood that the San Diego
15:14
Speaker 1: market had to punch above its weight in order to
15:18
Speaker 1: swim in the shark filled waters. There's a bunch of
15:22
Speaker 1: sharks with Dodger blue. So you had to figure it out.
15:25
Speaker 1: And the new owners are already talking about fiscal responsibility.
15:30
Speaker 1: And that's even before the champagne had been popped at
15:33
Speaker 1: this pep Rally introductory news conference thing. And so there
15:37
Speaker 1: you go and talk again. Doesn't cost you anything to
15:41
Speaker 1: talk the talk, to walk the walk, to cut the checks.
15:45
Speaker 1: Superstars are not cheap. I've heard they're not cheap. That's
15:48
Speaker 1: what I've been told. All right, final thought to Houston,
15:51
Speaker 1: we go and Houston, we have a problem. You hate
15:54
Speaker 1: to see it, you hate unless you don't. Yeah, those
15:59
Speaker 1: cheating Yes, one one thousand and two, one thousand holes.
16:03
Speaker 1: The Astros well manager Joe Espota's future with the Houston
16:10
Speaker 1: baseball team twisting in the wind, twisting in the win.
16:15
Speaker 1: We're hearing that Espata has been told he will be
16:18
Speaker 1: decommissioned as the skipper of that despicable franchise in Houston,
16:24
Speaker 1: will not be offered a new contract after the twenty
16:27
Speaker 1: twenty six season. Bob Nightingale reported that the Pod the
16:32
Speaker 1: Astros manager, the Astros manager here, Espota was given two options.
16:37
Speaker 1: Two choices. All right, finish out the season as manager
16:40
Speaker 1: or leave immediately your option. He's getting paid the same
16:45
Speaker 1: either way, getting paid the same either way. So if
16:47
Speaker 1: he says I want out, he gets the money. He
16:50
Speaker 1: doesn't have to travel with the team the last thirty
16:52
Speaker 1: games or so the season and then that's it.
16:56
Speaker 3: Now.
16:56
Speaker 1: He said he's gonna stay with the team finish it out,
16:58
Speaker 1: which is odd. If somebody says I'm gonna pay you
17:01
Speaker 1: not to work, Norman, you do it.
17:02
Speaker 2: Now.
17:02
Speaker 1: There is the escape portal that Joe Aspota has here.
17:06
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a minute. This news came
17:08
Speaker 1: down the same day that Houston also excommunicated someone named
17:13
Speaker 1: Dana Brown, who was the current head executive of the Cheaters.
17:17
Speaker 1: So Dana Brown there now. Nightingale backtracked a little bit
17:22
Speaker 1: later on. However, the belief in the industry is that
17:26
Speaker 1: Joe Aspota is on thin ice and he will not
17:29
Speaker 1: be back next season, and he is aware of that.
17:32
Speaker 1: So the question for the esteem panel manager Joe Aspota
17:37
Speaker 1: apparently fired in waiting, not the coaching waiting. He's the
17:41
Speaker 1: fired in waiting guy for the Houston baseball team. What
17:46
Speaker 1: are the cheating stros? What are they doing here? Like, seriously,
17:52
Speaker 1: what are they? If Espota isn't good enough for next
17:57
Speaker 1: season twenty twenty seven, why is he good enough for
18:02
Speaker 1: even the final thirty or so games of the regular season.
18:06
Speaker 1: Can someone explain that to me? Well, the answer is
18:08
Speaker 1: obviously he's not. If you don't think he's the long
18:10
Speaker 1: term answer, you get rid of him. Now. This does
18:13
Speaker 1: give a little MLB vibes to it, the movie Major
18:16
Speaker 1: League Baseball or just Major League where he's going to
18:20
Speaker 1: be let go. It's a bad roster. It's a bad roster, right,
18:27
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot going on. I think of this
18:30
Speaker 1: to answer the question why is he not good enough now,
18:32
Speaker 1: Joe spot Up. The answer is it's like duck soup
18:36
Speaker 1: with extra lame duck in the soup. It's duck soup,
18:40
Speaker 1: and that duck is so lame, so lame, lame, lame lame.
18:44
Speaker 1: That's how lame it is. So Houston essentially handed Joe
18:47
Speaker 1: spot Up an eviction notice, although he can stay in
18:51
Speaker 1: the apartment for now, and it's like, you know, come on,
18:54
Speaker 1: It's like and he was asked, can you please keep
18:57
Speaker 1: watering the hibiscus? Can you water the yeah, the hype
19:00
Speaker 1: and the black guyed susans. Yeah. Sure, we'll take care
19:03
Speaker 1: of the black guyed susans. We'll make sure those are watered,
19:05
Speaker 1: thank you very much. It's kind of like a couple
19:07
Speaker 1: getting divorced where they share the house because it's expensive
19:12
Speaker 1: to go your separate ways there, and they sleep in
19:15
Speaker 1: separate beds like a nineteen fifties Sitcom or nineteen sixties
19:18
Speaker 1: the show back in the day. So the roster's not great,
19:21
Speaker 1: the farm system's not very good. They have the twenty
19:24
Speaker 1: fifth pitching staff in baseball. That doesn't seem very good. Oh,
19:28
Speaker 1: you're so mean, mallar. Yeah, it doesn't seem good to
19:31
Speaker 1: have the twenty fifth ranked pitching staff in professional baseball.
19:33
Speaker 1: And yet somehow these misfits, because of location, location, location,
19:38
Speaker 1: are right there in the American League playoff race. You
19:41
Speaker 1: just have to be five hundred. You can even be
19:44
Speaker 1: under five hundred if you're in the American League West
19:47
Speaker 1: and you're a legitimate playoff contender. Playoffs what playoffs? Yeah, Now,
19:53
Speaker 1: that weasel commissioner, a weasel owner rather, Jim Crane, is
19:57
Speaker 1: telling you everything you need to know, everything you need
20:01
Speaker 1: to know about the proper use of trash cans, buzzers
20:06

31:41
Speaker 1: Sale, Yeah, there's plenty of a lot of baseball.
31:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, okay, I'll never mind.
31:47
Speaker 1: Then you already gave up. That was quick two percent chance.

Speaker 1: You gave up right away.
31:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, baseball is not my jam man. I'm hoping they're
31:57
Speaker 4: gonna do the salary cap thing. I might get back
31:59
Speaker 4: in to it with a little more.
32:01
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, So if they cap the salaries on the employees,
32:07
Speaker 7: you're into that, you think that's a good idea to
32:10
Speaker 7: cap someone's salary.
32:13
Speaker 4: I mean, not the salary camp the teams, is what
32:15
Speaker 4: I meant.
32:16
Speaker 1: Like, you know, but that wouldn't that trickle down to
32:19
Speaker 1: the players getting less money because you're putting a cap
32:21
Speaker 1: on how much. If teams have money played to spend,
32:23
Speaker 1: shouldn't they just spend it? Who cares?
32:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get what you're saying, Man, make it extremely
32:30
Speaker 4: extremely crazy high. I don't know, man, I just want
32:32
Speaker 4: more balance. I just want more, you know. I can't
32:35
Speaker 4: think of the word more.
32:36
Speaker 1: Well, the tam Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers
32:39
Speaker 1: are two of the top seams in baseball. They're not
32:41
Speaker 1: big money teams. I got you, but it's just an
32:45
Speaker 1: easy thing to blame the salary cap. I got you,
