• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It's really cool. There's just a little bit of excitement.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Just I mentioned it on social media. It's awesome. Everyone's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: fired up in the building. I mean, I look at
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the update desk there. It looks great. Down the hall.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Those ugly gray chairs that are horrific, they look good.
• 0:52

• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So it's not gonna be your normal show. Normally we
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: have the who Am I Game, the trivia Mallard of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the third Degree, all that stuff, the Mallard you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'll just put my name on everything because I'm a loser.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But we're not gonna do all that stuff. We're gonna
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: have the Mallard Palooza. It's here. I'll explain everything you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: need to know. We've got our celebrity judge who's gonna
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: join us and help us get through the night. And
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a lot of fun and we're
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: gonna celebrate you. And I want to think everyone that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: signed up and we look forward to that and they're
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: still we'll explain there's some wild card slots that are available,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: but our beginning, and we're gonna have the Mallard monologue
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: because it's mandated, and then we'll get into the Malla Pollosa.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So I leave this hour though before the Malapaluza kicks
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: off the World Cup. Believe it or not, I watched,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah I did. It was on Fox. You better watch
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you in Atlanta, and there was one slot left in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the finale. Now we knew the Spaniards had won a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: upset France, and so there was one slot left and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see it, perhaps it was a one
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: nothing lead for England getting late. And then England realized,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, we're artists here, we're choke artists. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: sure enough, Argentina rallied from a one nothing deficit to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: defeat England two to one in the World Cup semi final.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: They scored twice in the closing minutes. Now, I don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: really watch football other than the World Cup. I don't
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: recall this level of choke. It feels like we've seen
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: more choke jobs in this World Cup. Now, am I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: exaggerating that? Or is this actually a thing? Am I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just imagining this? Well? Either way, the team from Argentina
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a couple of goals there in the closing minutes. They
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: get to the second straight World Cup final. Leonel Messi
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: did it again. He didn't score, but he assisted on
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: both of Argentina's goals there, continuing his domination situation at
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: age thirty nine. And so they're defending champions from Rgentina
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: now on Americans. So I won win away from becoming
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: just the third nation to successfully defend the World Cup title.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And the better story though, is in the losing locker room.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And I don't care whether it's England Zimbabwe. I love choke.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I love people that choke, and boy, I guess I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: should move to England with legally blind Christopher and Terry
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in England and those guys and just enjoy the epic
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: choke because the team from England man counting down, you're
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: running me a little bit of I was in here
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: years ago there was a team called the Chicago Cubs.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: That's a baseball team, not good one. And the Cubs
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: were a few outs away from getting to the World
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Series and I think it was three and we were
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: counting it down and then they choked because this guy
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: named Steve Bartman who wore a turtleneck and headphones interfered
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the Cubs collapsed and all that. Anyway, it's a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: similar vibe. So Harry Kane, the captain of England admitted
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: after the game, obviously not during the game, that they
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: played way too conservative after they took the lease up
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: one nothing, they were just trying to hold on and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: they pointed out in the World Cup that is not
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that's not enough. You can't play that way. And then
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: some guy I've never heard of, who's the manager we
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: like to call coach of the English team. There he
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: was getting killed by the soccer media. They were killing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: this guy for his strategical decisions, his tactical changes that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: he made. He of course defended that and said he
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: had no regrets, no regrets. And acknowledge the team became
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: too passive after that that goal. So that's a good
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. If you saw the World Cup here,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: let's discuss the question. Was this a great Argentina comeback
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: or a monumental English choke job in the World Cup
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: game there in Atlanta. So my thoughts, I've got neurosurgeon, chocolate,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: truffles and panhandling, and we will combine all of these
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: things together and we're gonna make some bangers and mash. Baby,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: isn't that authentic English food? Right? Bangers and mash. That's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: what you people in England love, and fish and chips,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: all right. So A, in order to dissect this, we
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: have dusted off the Mallard decoder ring and it points
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: directly at England with a capital E. You don't have
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to be a die hard fan of the beautiful game
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: as you people call it to know what happened. Okay,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Harrycane and his squad played so defensive even I know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm an amateur watching this stuff, so so tight
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that they had their spinter needed to be checked there.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The Bank of England actually contacted them and they were
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: asking for tips. They were so tight tight there with
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: their play, and they didn't just turtle. I mean that's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the term, right, when you play a little scared you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: turtle up and all that stuff. They became the turtle's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: emotional support animal. That's how That's how bad it was.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: They're standing around I think they were waiting for an
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: uber or a lyft or something like that, and they
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: went down to the day spall right there. I didn't
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: know they had that at the stadium in Atlanta, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: they took a cold plunge at the absolute worst time.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You cannot take a cold plunge there, So they not
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: only pre choked, they mid choked, and yes they post choked.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of choke. It's a lot of choke.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Writing the Vomit comic as they did the Vomit Comet,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they took a second lap on the Vomit Comet, which
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is impressive. So when it was nut cutting time, it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: really became nut cutting time because the neurosurgeon Lionel Messi,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't know he was a neurosurgeon, but he stepped
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: up and he handed out unsolicited well he vasectomies for
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the English team. The squad there appeared to be completely
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: castrated as they co signed a Now they get to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: what a meetingless they played this third place game. You
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: imagine if they did that in American sports, the players
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: wouldn't show up if they did that in America. Can
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you imagine, Like you lose in the conference finals and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you have to go play another tournament. It's one game,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: but still so they have a third place match against
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: France that'll take place, and so just another pathetic leather
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: bound chapter, dusty book, leather bound of we swear we're
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: close the anthology of English soccer. There so the agony
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: continues since nineteen sixty six, which I'm told is a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: long time ago, and they got nobody to blame on
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this one other than the man in the mirror. Now
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to a friend of mine called the gambling market. We
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: now go to the gambling market where we go back
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to France's two nothing semi final loss to Spain, which
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it turns out was a major financial windfall for the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: sports books who are taking your action on this World Cup.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: France had been one of the most heavily favored and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: back teams in the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and several books I was reading about this several of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the books reporting that France entered the semi final as
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: their biggest liability, meaning if they had won, they would
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: have been screwed the bookie, and so that was their
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: big liability there. And as it turns out, if obviously
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: France didn't win the title would have If they had,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it would have been a significant payout by the bookies
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to the public. So the question what stands out about
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: this reporting about these sports books celebrating France's upset loss
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in the World Cup there to Spain. So the sports
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: books I imagined in the cartoon bubble in my head
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: they were popping champagne over the loss by France there
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to Spain, and they probably, I would think, would go
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: on one of the websites there in order up for Imbope
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: or as Poppy call them, imape, right, Gillian Imbope, give
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: them a massive box of chocolate truffles and just spectacular.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: As he said, they played sloppy. France played sloppy there
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and that match. What it did, though, is it put
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a Neon highlighter Neon marker highlighter there on the eternal.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And I've talked about this a lot during football season.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Is another example, the eternal disconnect between public sentiment and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: risk management of the sports book. Like France rolled in
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: remember that penitential of the World Cup here we talked
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: more about it than I ever imagined. But unbeaten, high scoring,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they were a public darling, and the betting public did
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: what they always do. A bunch of you a bet
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: with your hearts, and you piled on this clamorous favorite,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the media darlings getting a lot of attention, and Bape
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was getting all kinds of love. And so France losing
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it really turned out to be a stimulus package for
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the sports books entirely funded by you, the public, so
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they should thank you as well. And if you actually
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: want to make money, and I used to do a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: TV show called Benny Versus the Penny for a couple
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of years, and we talked about this occasionally when I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: had time when Looney wasn't talking. But the point of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that was, if you really want to make money, you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: actually have to go away from the glamour. You don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: want to be with the bedazzled, you want to be
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: with the ugly. That's what you want to be generally speaking, Now,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it doesn't always work out in the end, it will
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: work out. But only speaking, you want to be on
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the side of the house, and there are ways to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: find out. There are places you can go to find
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out where the money is. And they win, right, they
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: win more than the public because the public can't help themselves.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: They can't. So now the wise guys are forth licking
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: their chops here and they're ready to root against another
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: massive favorite in the World Cup finale, the public favorite Argentina,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: as they will face Spain shortly here for the World
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Cup title. Now the last word. With all of this
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: winding down, down down, down, down down down, the World
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Cup winding down, the soccer executives are now focused on
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: brainwashing you. This is the new effort, right and we've
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: seen huge ratings on Fox. The interest level is rather
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: large for this World Cup, and so they're trying to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: turn that into long term fandom for you. And I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: guess for me, not gonna work for me, maybe for you.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And so they don't want this just to be a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: one time event, the World Cup, and so the executives like, well,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: we want to bottle up the excitement. So now entering
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the chat, Major League Soccer, better known by their gangster
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: name MLS, as you might have seen these commercials they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: have launched. Fanks World will take it from here is
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the slogan they're using. Describe as the largest coordinated marketing
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: campaign in the history of soccer in America. And they've
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: got Leonel Messi, Diego Luna, some celebrity types, Magic Johnson,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey and others who those guys actually own parts
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of MLS teams and the goal is to convert the casual,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the great unwashed who have been watching the World Cup
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: into MLS die hard supporters. In fact, they're even offering
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: first match free first match tickets. They're giving away free tickets,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: complementary Apple TV access for people that have no idea
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: where MLS games are on TV, and other promotions trying
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to get people in. So the question you make the call,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: what's your long term forecast on the MLS? Marketing pushed
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: convert World Cup fans into MLS fans. So I will
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: tell you the campaign is well done. I don't know
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the marketing firm that's behind it, whoever it is on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Madison Avenue. They really did a good job. I thought
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the commercials are smooth and they pop. They're good the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: problem is the elevator pitch. It is in football, American
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: football would be the Hail Mary play. The conversion rate
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: is low. As I know from doing the radio show.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It is much easier to keep the listeners that you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: have than to get new people to listen. Just like
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in any business, it's much easier to keep the customers
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: happy that you have rather than get new customers. One
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of the reasons like if you call the cable company,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: if you still have cable, if you're a dinosaur and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you bitch at the cable company, they will often lower
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: your price because they know it's much easier to keep
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you and much more difficult to bring somebody new in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to replace you. It's just basic business, one oh one.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And so the MLS big shots think they can convert
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: seemingly millions of men, women and children in America to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: new viewers into lifetime fans of the MLS and all that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And I expect just a temporary tick, just a little spike,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: just a little spike, and that's it. Now, maybe they
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: can convince some of the kids that's really what you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: get the kids, because they'll you know, it's like the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: happy meal thing, the greatest thing ever for any restaurant
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: was McDonald's Happy Meal. You know, guys like me, you know,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I remember the Happy Meal came out. Oh great, you
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: know it's free toy, wonderful and even when you're an
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: old fart, you still go back. You're like, you romanticize
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that it's great. Uh. But to me, that the whole
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: marketing campaign, and am I nitpicking properly? It seems like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it's like weed man, hippie panhandling, and they're like begging you.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They're like, come on, come on watch our sport. Come on, yeah, okay, uh,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And the World Cup appeals to casuals people like me.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not diehard soccer person. Most Americans only watch soccer
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: when the flag is involved. They can wrap themselves in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: their flag, in the US flag, or if your your
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: family's from somewhere else and you got you know, you
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: do the DNA test, you got hey, I got a
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: lot of family from there. All right, that's the thing.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: And they don't care about cheesy celebrity owners. I don't
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: care about that. And so the MLF, the MLS growth,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's stopped the moment they signed that
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: deal with Apple TV. The most important thing is broadcasting.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I always said broadcasting, not narrowcasting, broadcast. And so even
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: hard O's soccer fans are like, why are we watching this?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The Premier League is so much better, and you all
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: tell me that every top American player is any good.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: The first chance they get they bolt to Europe because
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they can earn more money. The second they can get
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: out and they go. And so the MLS is fighting
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for relevance and it's like they're competing with pick a ball.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's what they're competing with.

• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Star game in the country, it's not going in a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: good place. The marquee players aren't interested. A lot of
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: them skipped the game, didn't even bother to attend the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: All Star Game. And so there's a growing trend here
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: of the All Star Game for the players, the biggest players,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: they're just unavailable, and a lot of them pitched the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: final day or two before All Star break and they
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: were not able to play. And we had notable absences
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: this year. Some of the biggest stars in baseball Aaron
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Judge show, Hey Otani, who Mike Tyson apparently thinks is
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a chick. Paul Skeins, Jacob Mazeroski, and Kim Schlittler among
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: those that either didn't show up or didn't participate. Now
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the baseball big shots are concerned panic at the disco,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: so that is a good jumping out point. Let us
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. Is the MLB All Star Game in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the stranger danger zone?
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Do do? Do?
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Do?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Do?
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Do?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: So my observations, I've got Micronesia, Ganghis Khan and Letterman's jacket,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and I promise you those things have never been combined
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: together until right here in this moment. We'll mix them
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: all together, and you and I are going to take
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the plunge, We'll take the munch. Answer the question number one,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: number one, number one, right, I'm nodding my head. Yes,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I am nodding my head. Yes. We are directly in
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the high seas turbulent waters for the All Star Game.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: The game is not I wanna say it's dying. It's
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a QQ situation. Quiet quitting is what's going on. And
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it's the same issue that the industrial complex of sport
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: big sporty has been dealing with. All Star games are
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: from a by gone era and we're in an era
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: now where this thing is a monster. The professional sports,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the big time sports here in this country. So when
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game began, I'll give you a little
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: history lesson here. Back when players earned somewhat reasonable salaries,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: some of them even had jobs. Baseball players had have
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: jobs in the offseason. They worked at car dealerships and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: other things to pay the bills. And this was an
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: important event. It was a highlight for the player. And
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that was back when the National League and the American
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: League never played each other, just to use baseball as
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: an example, but it was important. The players wanted to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: promote the game right. It was a promotional vehicle to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: grow the sport of baseball. It was very important. You
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: look at it now and the players, the arrogance of
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the players. It's like Blockbuster video, these All Star games
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: for these guys, and everyone remembers Blockbuster Video. If you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: have a certain age and nobody's going back. No Blockbuster video.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: You can't go out there on a Friday night, get
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a thing of popcorn and see if you can get
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the top movie that's in the theaters. So with the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: aristocratic wealth our baseball players have earned, these measly little
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: All Star bonuses are pocket change. It's not worth their time.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: The players would rather relax in Micronesia. They would rather
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: be there than endure the All Star Game, which is
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: like a low intensity senior citizen malwalk. The way that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the game's played, and it's a showcase. It's a showcase
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: though that's lost all of its panache, if you know
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. There even Philadelphia fans that usually stayed
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game, they were abandoning ship
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: in the eight dinning. The stadium was clearing out in
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that snooze fest. I'm an All Star game, so the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: stars keep skipping it. Major League Baseball they're talking about
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: overhauling the game. God only knows what that means. Put
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it in Frankenstein's lab. Or they're even talking about possibly
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: killing the All Star Game like the NFL did with
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, where God only knows what it is. Well,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: they could copy the NFL or the NFL pivoted to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: dodgeball and tug of war and relay races for their
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: little Pro Bowl weekend. So baseball can do Capture the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Flag and Kickball and the Ultimate Frisbee Challenge instead of
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game. All right, now page two to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the actual Olympics, but the baseball spin on the Olympics.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Now Major League Baseball very harsh punishment for players who
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: are selected to the twenty twenty eight Los Angeles Summer
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Olympics but decline to participate. You see, this no a right.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: So if you don't participate, you're picked for the Olympics.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: You don't participate without an approved exemption, you're cooked. It
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: is all part of an ongoing negotiation between ownership and
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the union. Under the proposal, as I understand it, players
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: of star value who are refusing to participate in the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Olympics will be placed on the restricted list by the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Commissioner's office from roughly July tenth through August third, so
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much a month, meaning they will not get
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: paid their salary. They will get no service time, which
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is very important because if you're fully vested in the pension,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you're getting a lot of money when you get old,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and if you don't show up to the Olympics, you're
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: not getting that service time. So it's a big deal.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty big deal here, and Baseball also wants
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to prevent players in clubs from circumventing the integrity of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the Olympics and using questionable, made up injuries to get
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: out of it. Players granted injury exemptions would have to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: remain on the injured list all the way through August fourth,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: even if they're healthy, even if they're like, you're faking it,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Ah my tall, my tall, my tall, and it turns
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: out your toes actually not hurt. And they are warning teams.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: The Baseball is already warning teams and executives and agents
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: two years in advance here that anyone that does not
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: honor the moral obligation if you will, or tries to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: circumvent the rules could face additional punishment. All right, So
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the question where are you at on Major League Baseball's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: scheme to issue very harsh penalties to players who try
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to get out of the twenty twenty eight Olympics in LA.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: So when I saw this, I did think when I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: first saw this, that this was some kind of parody,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: it was satire. I thought, well, that can't be real,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that there's no way that's real anyone it's real. Apparently
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. It's not satire, it's not
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: sports talk barrier but crack sports or any of that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: It's real. It's not NBA sentail, it's real. So Rob
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Manford is handling this like a windhom timeshare presentation in Vegas.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: You ever been stuck in one of those timeshare presentations.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Me and my wife were stuck in one years ago.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: They took our driver's license. We couldn't get out, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: it was like being held hostage. It's such a freaking nightmare.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: They pressure you, right, they give you guilt for not
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: signing up and all that. So anyway, it's just it's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: completely unnecessary. That's the point I'm trying to make here.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: The supreme leader of hardball, Rob Manfraud, wants to showcase
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: baseball on the grand international stage, and he is will
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: to use strong arm tactics to make it happen. And
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: yet again Rob Manford telling everyone he's out of touch,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: taking a page from that laminated Genghis Khan playbook. The
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight Olympics will be the final big act
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: for his commissionership. He is set to leave baseball in
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine. Hallelujah, hallelujah, sounded like Andrew and Bakersfield
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: there the way, yeah, way I did that anyway, As
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the saying goes, and we've all heard this in our
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: lives there, you cannot control behavior, or you can rather
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: control baby. You cannot. You cannot force someone to buy it, right.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: You can control what they're doing, you cannot force them
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to enjoy what they're doing. And so I say that
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: it's unnecessary. The reason it's unecessary, the smart money says,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the biggest stars in Major League Baseball are all going
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to sign up for the Olympics. And here's why, because
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get They're gonna get money out of it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna make money from endorsements the Q rating. Uh,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: this will be a marketing bonanza for baseball players. They'll
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: be picking up Dino sized endorsements. Okay, So my advice,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Rob Manford, somebody should let Rob no. Hey, hey, Rob,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I've got a bumper sticker. Oh it's on the bumper sticker.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Let's say it's a quote from Mike Tomlin. Oh that's
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the guy wh used to coach the Steelers. Yeah, yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: he's on TV now. Uh. And the quote goes, we
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: want volunteers, not prisoners. All right, that's the quote. All right, meanwha.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: We have a trade in baseball, final point trade in baseball.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Brewers have made a deal to acquire a pitcher,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: not a good one, Lance mccullors. Yeah, that guy, that dirty,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: rotten scoundrel. They also quired a minor league pitcher I've
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: never heard of, and cash considerations from the cheating a
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: one thousand and two one thousand holes and the trade
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: trying to boostop Milwaukee's injury depleted starting pitching staff. So
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: they added some depth in theory. Houston received outfield the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: prospect Jaden Fielder in return. Who the f is that? Well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: it's a guy. It's got some name value. He's twenty one,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the son of former MLB slugger for the Brewers, Princefielder,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and shockingly to say, the grandson of Cecil Fielder, which
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I'm getting old. I interviewed him back when he was
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: playing and now he's a grandpa. There you go. Anyway,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: mccullur's agreed to waive his no trade clause. I know
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I'm puzzled too. How did he have a no trade
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: clause to complete the deal. He's spent his entire career
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: with the cheaters, and now he's heading off to Wisconsin
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to play for the crew. So the question does this
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Lance mccullor's trade count as an upgrade for the Brewers?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm shaking my head, No, shaking my head. No,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: this is the baseball version of buying a used Neutra
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: bullet blender that smells like burnt rubbert. Well, why'd you
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: buy that? It's not gonna work. Well, it's cheap. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: got it cheap. Well, it's not gonna work. In boxing,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: they call it the old one two punch in boxing.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: For Milwaukee, they get a sucker punch because it makes
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the crew. I hate to say it, because I love
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: my people in Wisconsin, but it makes them instantly more unlikable.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: And here's why I checked the letterman's jacket. Lance mccullors
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: has a lifetime membership in the Scarlet Letter Club because
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: he was a figure part of that despicable, deplorable cheating
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: a stros. Yep, he's got the twenty seventeen trash can cooties.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: He's got that. Good luck disinfecting that. If you're the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, there tossing the fact that he's damaged, goods
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: washed up. He's on the what we used to call
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the disabled list now becaus they called something else, their
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: shoulder inflammation. And when he has pitched, his er is
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: almost seven. So that's a knuckle sand which is what
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: that is. So the Brewers did not get quality depth,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: they got a medical chart. And the only good news
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: is they traded a prospect, which is a suspect. As
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: we know, Jaden Fielder, who was not highly rated, is
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: not projected to be anything really all that special if
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: he does even make it in the major leagues. And
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: you know, the Brewers don't think this guy's got it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: You think the Brewers would trade Prince Fielder's kid if
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: he could play, if they thought he could play. Hell, no, no, not.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Everyone's right. They could be wrong. He could turn out
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: to be wonderful. Remember the Dodgers traded Jordan Alvarez when
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: he was in the minor leagues. He turned out to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: be pretty good for the cheaters. So it does happen.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: You make mistakes. But in terms of the value added
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: for Lance, mccullors don't see at Milwaukee is simply betting
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: they can go out and find on eBay some voodoo
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: bugaloo and fix the damage for Lance mccullors and put
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: some soap on him, rub away the cooties from the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Bye Bye and the whistle whistle whistle from the cheaters
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and the big playoff push. All right? Is they Beane

  Speaker 1: Obviously it was a heavily edited so you got a
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: factor that in. But Marcel's never sounded better. U ever,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: like that was legitimately entertaining. It was great. The lyrics
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: were wonderful. Marcel nailed it on the delivery. I would
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: have given him, you know, would have given a much
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: higher score if it hadn't been recorded. So I am
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: unfortunately just going to give Marcell a ten. I will
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: give him a ten. Uh yeah, what about you inca terror?

• 42:03
  Speaker 7: I was recorded, Like are we judging ess Marcel? It
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: is it a whole group effort, of team effort. I

  Speaker 7: think it took Jay Scoop about seven years.
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: To do that.
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: But I mean, the lyrics were great, they were really good.
• 42:17

• 42:25
  Speaker 1: know who's leading at this point? We have a couple
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: of recording Marcel. All right, Marcel's in the lead.
