2:12
Am I right? Now the only thing I do with Wes
2:13
is give him the soccer. The Silk Soccer The shock of the
2:20
I'm lost in it anyways. Jeff Passan reports that the
2:23
Nationals have fired longtime manager Dave Martinez and
2:29
president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo.
2:32
Martinez has been with the organization since 2018 and
2:37
Rizzo has been with the organization since 2013.
2:40
Both were there during their World Series winning season in
2:44
2019. USA Today's Bob Nightingale said
2:48
there was always a long term plan of of judging the Nationals
2:53
progress when deciding if they were going to bring back
2:58
Martinez, who has a team option this year.
3:01
He adds that Rizzo and Martinez were likely attached by the hip
3:06
whether they decided to keep them or let them go and let them
3:10
go. As a result of the Nationals
3:12
having a 37 and 53 record, the Nationals traded many stars from
3:17
championship teams such as Max Scherzer, Trey Turner wants and
3:22
got back a lot of good young talent over the years.
3:26
These players included catcher Ruiz, shortstop Abrahams and
3:33
2024 All Star pitcher Gray and two 2025 All Stars in pitching.
3:40
I'm sorry, Mackenzie Gore and Al Fielder.
3:43
James Wood, who by the way, James Wood is probably one of
3:46
the best young superstars in the major leagues right now.
3:49
Power eater big guy compared share his skills to the Aaron
3:53
Judge type. I I will say this.
3:56
The nationals needed to do this years ago and I'm not taking
4:01
shots at the organization organization one they had Bryce
4:05
Harper there they had Steven Strasburg there and they're no
4:08
longer there. And one of the reasons why
4:10
they're no longer there is because the organization don't
4:12
keep superstars there. They eventually when they become
4:15
free agents or they they have, you know, seasons where they
4:19
have had great seasons or even turned around seasons, they find
4:23
a way to move them. Some of them were good moves and
4:26
some of them really bad moves. And the organization after
4:31
winning the way they did and Juan Soto going, you know,
4:34
absolutely, you know, hot in the playoffs and doing what he did
4:39
in the playoffs and helping that team win a World Series and
4:42
doing what a Bryce Harper because remember, Bryce Harper
4:45
left, he went to Philadelphia the year before they won a World
4:49
Series. So they they had Bryce Harper
4:51
there, they had Stephen Strasburg, they they had a
4:53
talented all around team. And Juan Soto was the young guy
4:56
coming up. What was he, 1920 years old?
4:59
Yeah. So he was a baby.
5:00
He came up and got really, really hot at the end of the
5:02
season and went on that unbelievable run in the playoffs
5:05
where they were just untouchable.
5:06
Max Scherzer, who I, I respect his ability.
5:09
Max Scherzer, a guy that was a journeyman all the way through
5:13
his career, went from, and I don't think people remember he
5:16
was traded for, if I'm not mistaken, Curtis Granderson.
5:19
If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't Curtis Granderson.
5:21
He was traded for, Yeah. I think he was in the deal
5:23
somewhere. Wait, no, it was a Diamondback.
5:25
So no, it probably wouldn't. Have been.
5:27
It wasn't, I'm not sure, but Curtis Granderson I think was
5:30
involved with, it was a three team trade.
5:32
Detroit was there. I think it was Detroit, the
5:35
Yankees and Arizona and I think Granderson went to the Yankees.
5:39
Detroit sent Granderson to the Yankees.
5:41
Oh, you're right. Yes, you're right.
5:42
It was Diamondbacks received. Ian Kennedy and Andy Jackson, I
5:45
corrected you, Mr. I know it all.
5:48
And yeah. Diamondbacks traded Scherzer and
5:51
Dan Schlereth to the Tigers. Diamondbacks got Ian Kennedy and
5:54
Edwin Jackson, and he's got Curtis Granderson.
5:56
I remember that trade and, and, and really the team that won
6:00
that trade was Detroit. And even with Curtis Grandison
6:03
having those great years with the Yankees, if I think at one
6:05
year he had close to 50 home runs, but the Yankees could
6:08
never go over the hump And Curtis Grandison throughout the
6:11
playoffs could not hit in the playoffs.
6:13
And that was a big problem. He was a he really was a when he
6:16
went to the Yankees, this guy was a A2 way player.
6:19
And when he went to the Yankees, he became a power hitter more in
6:21
Yankee Stadium than he was a defensive player or even a base
6:24
Steeler. So and he was pretty good when
6:26
he was in Detroit as an outfielder.
6:28
But I, I think Max Scherzer was a journeyman and all the way
6:32
through till he went to the Nationals and then he spent his
6:34
career with the Nationals. If you look at his career, even
6:37
with Detroit, he was only in there with Detroit for what,
6:40
three years? And then he then went to the
6:42
national sign that long term deal and then he went on that
6:45
stand where he was the best pitcher in baseball.
6:47
I don't think you could argue that he was that Scherzer had
6:50
some of the best years we've seen a pitcher have when he was
6:53
with the Nationals. But the organization over the
6:56
last couple years have been absolutely putrid.
6:58
They they don't keep players. They do bring in these young
7:01
players. We'll see how they develop and
7:03
Wood looks like he's going to be a star, but you never know what
7:06
these Farms hands are going to be, where these guys, how these
7:08
guys are going to turn up and how they're going to turn out.
7:11
As you know with the New York Yankees over the years, as the
7:13
Yankee fan, this guy's going to be good.
7:15
That guy's going to be good. And they never pan out.
7:17
None of them pan out. Usually one out of probably 10
7:20
guys pan out. Remember Clint Frazier when the
7:22
Yankees traded with the Indians? Remember that?
7:24
I'm sorry, the Guardians remember that trade.
7:27
Everybody, This guy is a home run player, 5 tool player.
7:30
I mean, after he got hurt or something was going on with his
7:34
brain, something happened. Yeah.
7:36
He could not hit with the Yankees and then he was never a
7:39
good player after he left in the New York Yankees.
7:41
You just never know what these guys.
7:42
How about Sheffield? Remember when the Yankees
7:44
brought him in and they drafted him?
7:46
Sheffield was going to be this unbelievable pitcher and then he
7:49
couldn't cut it with. The He went to the Mariners,
7:51
right? Yeah, James Paxton's right.
7:54
He couldn't cut it with the Yankees.
7:55
Then he went on, he went somewhere else and he couldn't
7:57
cut it there with the Mariners. I these farm hands never, you
8:00
know that. You just don't know what these
8:02
guys. What we do know is Bryce Harper
8:04
was a star. Juan Soda was a * Steven
8:07
Strasburg, the star, All these guys that they they've brought
8:10
up over the years, these great young players, besides
8:14
Strasburg, who was there practically his whole career,
8:16
every one of those guys were traded or let go or went to
8:19
another organization because the organization in Rizzo and
8:22
Martinez could not get. And by the way, they have a very
8:24
rich owner. Their owner has money.
8:26
It's not like he was born. He's one of the richer owners in
8:29
the major leagues. They never kept their players.
8:32
Could you imagine? Just think about this job, Think
8:35
about this. If they kept Bryce Harper, Juan
8:38
Soto, Strasbourg and Max Scherzer on this roster, how
8:43
many championships they would have won?
8:45
Just think about it, how many championships would have this
8:48
team won if they kept all these guys on this roster?
8:52
Rendon, remember him? He wasn't good when he went.
8:54
He went somewhere else and he was 1/3 baseman and he he was a
8:57
great player too, with the National when he left, when he.
9:00
Left. That's when he actually wanted
9:01
to play, though. Yeah, exactly.
9:03
But just think about that. If you look at that roster right
9:06
now, could you imagine if that roster was still together today?
9:11
I mean, you're talking about maybe three titles.
9:13
And I think that's how good they could have been.
9:15
And I blame Rizzo, I blame Martinez.
9:17
They didn't keep this team together, didn't keep this
9:19
roster together. And it was problems.
9:21
They brought these relief pitchers.
9:22
I'm not going to mention any names.
9:24
They they brought in these guys that just didn't get along with
9:27
their superstar players, Bryce Harper being one of them.
9:30
And that's why Bryce decided, hey, you know what, you don't
9:32
want to pay me. You don't want me here.
9:33
I'm going elsewhere. I go to Philadelphia.
9:35
He wanted to be a Yankee because his father was a Mickey Mantle
9:37
fan. So it's, it's been a problem for
9:39
this organization, keeping stars in this organization, and that's
9:43
why they're gone. They should have been gone five
9:45
years ago. It's interesting they have one
9:46
of the more fascinating 10 years when you look at it, because
9:48
you're right. I, I agree with you.
9:49
I probably would have fired him before they ended up winning a
9:51
World Series because a lot of the moves they were making at
9:53
the time were a lot of overpays on trades.
9:56
Adam Eaton trading all those guys away to the White Sox at
9:58
the time of two or three top prospects at the time.
10:00
It seemed kind of weird, like you mentioned, overpaying a lot
10:03
of the what we say about the Phillies bullpen now or their
10:05
bullpen for a while, kind of a revolving door.
10:08
And then they do these other things that make it work.
10:10
They get great values value in these trades back for Soto and
10:13
Max Scherzer and all that. These young core has been nice
10:15
and now you decide to fire him. It's just very weird timing the
10:17
way it happens because it's kind of an up and down tenure the way
10:20
it's happened now. I never thought Dave Martinez
10:22
when he took over as the Nationals manager was ever a
10:25
amazing manager like he was probably, if you look at
10:27
managers of one World Series, probably one of the lower ones.
10:29
But he still won a World Series and now the team is rebuilding
10:32
and all of a sudden like he becomes a scapegoat.
10:34
At the same time, maybe there was a player relationship issue.
10:36
Maybe he's not as good with the younger players because manage a
10:39
veteran team. When they won the World Series
10:41
in 2019 and that was even losing Harper, they still had, like you
10:44
said, Rendon, Strasbourg, they brought in Howie Kendrick and
10:46
Brian Dozier, guys like that. So it's one of those things
10:49
where maybe it didn't fit with the younger players, but Rizzo
10:52
at the same time was making these good trades and now you
10:54
decide to fire him. Seems like a very trend dynamic.
10:56
I agree. It's like 2017 or 18 and it
10:58
didn't make much sense to keep him at that point.
11:00
But then I think he did everything he showed to save it
11:02
and then now all of a sudden you trade him now before the trade
11:04
deadline, you're throwing rookies into the fire.
11:05
It seems very odd. Yeah, it's I was just going back
11:11
through and the dudes that they've had come through that
11:14
organization. I mean, yeah, Ryan Zimmerman
11:17
kind of tailed off the end of his career, but he had a great
11:19
run, Trey. Turner had.
11:20
I forgot about him too. Yeah, Trey Turner literally came
11:24
up with them. And you know, when you when you
11:26
look at all the talent that they've had like come through
11:30
and not only, I mean, shit, you had Dusty Baker at the helm too,
11:33
you know, so you had all kinds of opportunities to do a lot
11:38
more than what they've done. I just it it, it surprises me
11:42
that it took this long really, and especially because we don't
11:45
see it a lot in baseball when they do it kind of mid season
11:48
or, you know, in in this situation.
11:51
So yeah, I would it, it didn't surprise me by any means.
11:55
I definitely do agree that I I thought it should have happened
11:58
a lot sooner than it did. And, and it'll be interesting to
12:01
see kind of what direction they're going to try and go.
12:04
And you know, they've got some, they've got some young talent.
12:07
And I think you know, with, with what they've experienced before
12:11
in the past, how are they going to use them?
12:13
Are they going to do exactly kind of what they did and like,
12:16
hey, we're going to try for a couple years and then hey, see,
12:19
we're going to, we're going to. Go they're they're an
12:21
organization and that really works like a small market
12:23
organization. They're their owner's one of the
12:25
richer owners in all of baseball.
12:28
And I know that because we know Charlie slows.
12:30
He's been on a show and he tells me all the time how rich their
12:34
owner is and why he doesn't really dig into his pockets and
12:36
keep these guys there with the organization.
12:39
I think it's been a big problem over the years and I I blame
12:42
Martinez. I think Martinez is a guy that
12:44
should have been fighting for guys like Bryce Harper, fighting
12:47
for guys like Trey Turner that should have stayed there.
12:50
Why do you think Bryce Harper and Trey Turner are playing for
12:53
the same organization right now in Philadelphia?
12:55
Those guys loved each other. They were like brothers.
12:57
And they go to the an organization that's in the same
13:00
division as them. So it just shows you the way the
13:04
organization works. They don't keep their players,
13:06
they don't keep their players happy.
13:08
And, and again, you go back and somebody like Dave Martinez.
13:11
What scares me about Dave Martinez if let's say the
13:14
Yankees decide, hey, you know what, we're going to part with
13:16
Brian Cashman and we're going to just dig deep and we're going to
13:19
bring in Dave Martinez to take over this organization.
13:22
The Yankees are making a sloppy mistake.
13:24
And again, with how Steinbrenner, I don't know what
13:27
to predict on the way the Yankees are going to go if Brian
13:30
Cashman or the Yankees decide to part ways with one another.
13:34
So it scares the hell out of me when you hear Dave Martinez on
13:37
the market for AGM job. So that's the scary part over
13:41
there as far as Rizzo's concerned.
13:44
Rizzo should not have had a job as a manager.
13:46
OK. I, I just think very overrated.
13:48
The talent that he's had there over the years.
13:50
It just makes you sick to your stomach.
13:52
Look at the pitchers they've had, look at the roster they've
13:55
had and they've won 1 championship.
13:57
And really without any of those guys besides a 19 year old Juan
14:00
Soto and Max Scherzer, that's all they really.
14:03
Because remember, Strasburg was not healthy that year.
14:06
So they didn't have really the pitching, Jeff, you would have
14:09
thought they were going to have over the years with Strasburg
14:12
and Scherzer, that 1-2 punch that you would, but expected
14:14
they were going to be just so dominant.
14:16
And that, by the way, that that roster, when it comes to their
14:19
bullpen when they won, was absolutely horrible.
14:22
Yeah, they had a lot of. Random was horrible and.
14:24
There were a lot of random over performers that year before that
14:26
they were always struggling in the playoffs because of their
14:29
bullpen. A lot of the time Nathan
14:30
mentioned in the in the private chat Drew store and he was one
14:32
of them that it seemed like he was always allowing in the 9th
14:35
inning. A lot of home runs to teams that
14:37
again weren't home run hitting teams.
14:38
Those were a 97 win national team in 2012 that lost to a very
14:41
scrappy Cardinals team. There was a the Giants beat them
14:45
I think when they were a 98 win team in 2014.
14:47
So it took them a while to get there and then all of a sudden
14:49
as underdogs, sometimes teams just do Bender as underdogs.
14:52
They have one of the best underdog runs.
14:53
They beat a Brewers team that was very good.
14:55
They came back off the hater and the bat bullpen.
14:58
They beat the Dodgers. They beat a cheating Astros
15:01
team. Like they beat a lot of really
15:02
good teams that year. And again, I, I see that
15:05
everybody is going to take shots at certain players like Granton.
15:09
That was there. I, I like Granton as a National.
15:12
He was a good third baseman. He was an All Star third baseman
15:15
with the Nationals. Yes, we're we're eventually
15:18
leaving the organization, I think went to the Angels.
15:20
I mean, he did steal from the Angels.
15:22
But again, it's an organization. The Angels have been an
15:25
organization that takes on players and over paced players
15:28
and they never banned out. So it's not, it's not, it's not
15:32
his fault that he went to the organization and got paid that
15:34
kind of money. You, you don't go after players
15:37
that you know, don't have the love that you thought they had
15:40
for the game of baseball. Now, I I will say this before we
15:44
move on to King of the hill, the nationals organization are set
15:48
up very well. Now we'll see how these guys
15:51
turn out as players. All right, I don't know what
15:54
they're going to turn out to be. I mean wood looks like he's
15:58
going to be a star. We've heard what's his name
16:01
again? Come on the show last week,
16:03
Towers, towers come in and like, it was like, like sweating all
16:07
over and wanting to come in his pants on on Jane Mack.
16:10
Because he was on the Orioles. But I'm going to tell you, I
16:13
don't know what Mackenzie Gore is going to be, Gray or
16:17
Abraham's going to be. We got to see what these guys
16:19
going to be. I don't care what they've done
16:21
in one year. I want to see what they do in a
16:23
5 to 10 year span. When they become the players
16:26
that we think they're going to be, then we can come over and
16:29
and argue our points. That's all I mean and.
16:31
Allegedly the second best prospect in that Soto trade is
16:33
another outfielder, Robert Hassel.
16:35
They haven't even called up yet. But whatever, I, I just think
16:39
obviously the National Center organization, that's just an
16:42
absolute joke and, and a debacle and hopefully they figure it out
16:45
and, and put the right guy at the helm because the wrong
16:48
person. Reach out to the Yankees.
16:50
What's her name again? That was running the Marlins.
16:52
Yeah. Why don't you hire Ink?
16:54
She's great. She did a great job with the
16:55
Marlins before she stepped down. She hasn't been hired yet.
16:59
Reach out to the Yankees or reach out to her and see if
17:01
she's available to to talk to. So I I think they, I think you.
17:04
Thought she was thinking like you.
17:05
She was going to like be a Yankees predecessor for a while.
17:08
I remember that. All right, let's let's go to
17:10
King of the Hill. And here's the king of the Hill.
17:14
This, Bobby, is the Beltline. You never, ever hit below that.
17:18
Not that kind of King of the hill.
17:19
You dumb Ready? Are you ready?
17:22
This is King of the Hill. OK guys, welcome to King of the
17:28
Hill. I guess Tommy's out, so we need.
17:31
I like anal. For this one, here it is guys,
17:35
King of the Hill. We are of a trivia contest to
17:37
see if someone can dethrone the King Errol.
17:41
Once again, I think Errol's only lost.
17:43
Carl plays with himself. Despite all of the playing with
17:47
himself by Carl, he has not won. It was only King Zach.
17:51
Let's get Zach, the former king. I think it's going to take this
17:55
one off. So I think we're going to go
17:56
with Jake and or Zach is going to come in on this.
18:00
Who's who's the Aaron? 'S Oh no, I was just coming in
18:02
because I thought you said my name.
18:03
I bet. I did.
18:04
Oh, nice haircut. Zach, Jake and Aaron come in.
18:07
They're going to be the competitors tonight, along with
18:11
Jabba and Speedy. I will take my spot over here
18:16
for King of the Hill. It's only going to be 4 in this
18:18
round. That's how we're going to do it
18:19
from now on. Baseball is the theme tonight.
18:23
Are you guys ready to play? All right, here we go with the
18:27
first round, king of the hill. Here it is, peasant fight, best
18:34
catchers of all time. So we're looking for people who
18:39
were primarily catchers their entire career, not played for
18:44
like one season. A catcher was a great player.
18:46
All right, That is the only rule.
18:49
We will get it set up. We will start like we're reading
18:53
Hebrew from right to left. We'll go with Jake then followed
18:57
by Jabba, Aaron and Speedy for two for round one.
19:00
Jake. All right, so for my first pick,
19:04
I'm gonna go for an old one. I definitely wasn't alive for
19:06
it, but I'm gonna go to Yogi Berra, Hall of Famer, multi time
19:10
MVP and All Star and 10 World Series.
19:13
That's that's pretty ridiculous. But yeah, pretty much like Bill
19:17
Russell just won all the championships back in the day.
19:19
So I'm gonna go with the Yogi Berra.
19:21
Jabba. I'm going to go, you know what,
19:26
because he was one of my teammates and I grew up watching
19:29
them. I'm going to go Pudge.
19:31
Ivan Rodriguez kind of made throwing runners out sexy, other
19:35
than he called a fastball away every time the runner was on
19:37
1st. And it pissed me off.
19:40
But kind of just one of those guys that kind of epitomized
19:44
that position. Yeah, they were, they were guys
19:46
throwing runners out. But at the rate that he did it,
19:48
nobody, nobody did it as prolific as he did.
19:51
And you know, he could swing the bat a little bit too.
19:54
Who knows? Maybe he did steroids too.
19:56
Who knows who hasn't? Whatever.
19:57
But yeah, he's got to be up there.
20:00
Aaron. I'm going to go with the with an
20:02
oldie. I obviously wasn't going for
20:04
this, but Johnny Bench considered one of the best
20:06
catchers in baseball with the Cincinnati Reds.
20:08
I mean, obviously you just hear Johnny Bench and you and you
20:11
know what you're talking about, right?
20:14
With with the Reds, like I said, with P Rose in the mid 70s is
20:17
the epitome of what a catcher should be.
20:19
And like I said, you say his name and you know he was right
20:21
away. So I'm going to go with Johnny
20:22
Bench. Excellent speedy for two.
20:24
Alright, I'll go with 1 old school and then 11 new school.
20:27
Obviously I'll go as a Mets fan. Mike Piazza will arguably the
20:30
best home run hitting. Definitely school.
20:33
No no no no. The second one is old school.
20:35
This ones the new school. No Mike Piaz, obviously one of
20:37
the better power hitting catchers in in his era too.
20:40
Did it for a very long time, even when he was before, he was
20:42
with the Mets, with the Dodgers as well and with the Marlins was
20:44
very consistent throughout his career hitting wise.
20:47
So he's the first one and then I'll go with an old school one.
20:50
Same era a little bit before with Yogi Berra is Brooklyn
20:53
Dodgers, Roy Campanella, one of the better catchers in that era
20:55
as well. Be great with many Hall of Fame
20:57
pitchers calling the game is one of the biggest things with
21:00
catchers. To be able to have those kinds
21:01
of connections with the pitchers too and still have some good
21:03
offensive numbers for that era as well.
21:06
Excellent. Moving back the other way, Round
21:08
2 Aaron I'm. Going to go with the new school
21:11
one with someone I look watched a couple years ago, Buster
21:14
Posey. Buster Posey is considered
21:16
probably a very up there one of the best catchers in baseball,
21:19
at least for his time as well. He would be time with series
21:22
champion with the Giants again, the epitome or what a catch
21:25
should should do behind the plate.
21:27
And if from the seat put one of those rules in with with that
21:31
big play at the play where he he had broken his leg or or
21:35
whatever it was, but was supposedly.
21:37
I mean, it's just a great, great athlete.
21:39
He's done what he has to do now and with the still with the
21:42
giants and off run off the spot. I mean, he's just considered one
21:46
of the best catchers honestly. Jabba Sorry, Speedy, but I'm
21:50
taking Gary Carter. Just I, I I loved watching Gary
21:56
Carter and I was I was short and fat.
21:59
So I was a catcher for for most of my high school career.
22:02
So there was it was a position that was, was huge.
22:05
I mean, when basically single handedly won game five of the
22:07
World Series in 86 played for 19 years And and to do it at that
22:13
position to play that long is, is pretty impressive. 11 time
22:16
All Star number retired just one of those guys that he, you know,
22:22
you could root for and, you know, loved, loved watching him.
22:25
They called him the kid and you know, he played like that and it
22:28
was, it was always fun to to watch him play.
22:32
Jake for two. All right, so for my second pick
22:36
I'm going to go with Yadir Molina, multi time All Star
22:41
couple World Series, 9 Golden gloves and then 4 platinum
22:45
gloves. So it pretty much just
22:46
epitomizes defense and what you need from a catcher, someone
22:49
who's, you know, always going to be reliable and always going to
22:52
be force back there, you know, just watching everything and
22:56
calling things out. So he was fantastic.
22:58
And then for my last pick, I'm going to go a little bit of
23:01
Homer here, a little bit of our new school.
23:03
I'm going to JT Romuto pretty much is a, you know, solid
23:06
player. He's been doing that for a long
23:08
time, started with Miami, comes up here to Philly.
23:10
He's been so a defensive player, you know, decent hitter here and
23:14
there. He's had great moments,
23:15
especially during that miracle run we almost had to the World
23:18
Series. Didn't quite get it done, but he
23:19
had a lot of collective moments in that series.
23:21
So. That's for my birthday.
23:23
All right, back to Java. I'm, I'm going to go as a Homer
23:27
myself too, because I was a Braves fan and I'm going to go
23:32
with Javi Lopez. I I think this one for me is, is
23:37
kind of twofold. Obviously won the World Series
23:40
in 95. They won the division 15 years
23:43
in a row, only won it one year. But to be able to navigate those
23:47
arms and to be able to have the opportunity to catch all the
23:51
goes those guys and to see the the Cy Youngs and everything
23:56
that he did, he was he was the Puerto Rican athlete of the year
23:59
for four straight years. So it goes deeper than, you
24:02
know, just obviously playing here.
24:05
He became Greg Maddox's personal catcher has caught no hitters.
24:09
He was the National League MVP and I just I am, I'm a Braves
24:14
Homer. So he, he, he goes down for me.
24:17
Aaron. Yeah, I'm gonna go with another
24:20
one that I watched growing up, Joe Joe Mauer.
24:23
I mean, again, someone that is always, it was consistent behind
24:27
the plate, catching forever, was pitching with the Twins, won an
24:30
MVP, was recently inducted into Hall of Fame.
24:34
Look, a lot of people can say he's overrated, but he's
24:36
definitely, he's definitely up there with what he did.
24:38
It consists while he's playing and in his era.
24:40
So I'll stick with Joe Mauer. Speedy.
24:42
All right. I'll go with one that was gone
24:44
too soon unfortunately, but had a very good peak in his career.
24:47
That was Thurman Munson, one of the better catchers in that in
24:50
the 70s, late 60s, early 70s and again his offensive numbers.
24:53
If he again what happened to him, very unfortunate that
24:56
didn't happen. Could have been the best among
24:58
the position. All right, Errol, that's
25:01
everybody. I didn't think I heard.
25:03
I don't think I heard someone say Carlton Fisk.
25:05
I was a little surprised by that, but not.
25:07
Making a Red Sox. Well, I mean, he played a couple
25:09
of places, but famous, famous home run, as you know, for the
25:13
Red Sox. He's known as a Red Sox.
25:16
I thought I thought somebody might go Bill Dickey.
25:19
Yeah, you can go all the way back to Bill Dickey.
25:21
That would have been a good one too.
25:22
But Errol, who you picking to move on to the?
25:25
Joust all right, so I like Jake's picks.
25:29
I like Aaron's picks, but I'm I'm going to go speedy
25:32
definitely is moving on. I mean, I don't think you can
25:34
argue that every single one one of the guys that Speedy picked
25:39
our Hall of Famers and and some of the greatest catches we we
25:42
can have. And I love Yogi Berra and I love
25:44
Yogi Berra too. So I want to go with Jake, but
25:47
I'm going to give Jabba. I want Jabba.
25:49
I want to see what Jabba can do in the next round.
25:51
He's a baseball guy. Let's see what he can do against
25:53
Speedy in the second round. So I'm going to go job and
25:55
Speedy. All right, our interns are both
25:58
eliminated in the first round today.
26:01
Well, let's move on to Round 2, the joust.
26:05
And here it is, boys. This is, I'm pretty proud of
26:07
this category, best double play combos of all time.
26:12
So you got to tell me the second baseman and the shortstop and
26:17
the team obviously probably played for a number of years
26:20
together. All right, all right, here we go
26:23
back at it. And on this one, Errol, tell us
26:26
who you think should begin. I'm going to go Jabba.
26:30
All right, Jabba, you go first. You're muted.
26:33
You're muted. I'm going to go because I got to
26:39
know him and I think the other one gets shunned.
26:41
They did it for 19 years. That would be sweet.
26:44
Lou Whitaker and Allen Treble to do it that long with one another
26:52
once a Hall of Famer. I sweet lose in it for Detroit.
26:56
But getting to know them and just see you could tell their
26:59
camaraderie was just unbelievable and you know they
27:01
would they would talk about one another and for 19 years to do
27:05
it and they literally they hold the record for in Major League
27:10
history because that's pretty unbelievable to do.
27:13
And so that that one for me and kind of, you know, as a baseball
27:18
fan to like get to see some of these guys and be able to like
27:23
chat with them and like it brings the kid out and me and it
27:25
was it's always fun. Like then you'd get to talk to,
27:28
you know, guys like Al Kaline and like, I wish they would
27:30
bring back old Timer's Day because that was one of my
27:33
favorite days. But hopefully soon here and
27:36
maybe maybe I'll go back because I'll be in my 40s at this point.
27:40
So I said I'd never go back before I was 40.
27:43
So so we're getting there. So.
27:45
I hate that they got rid of that too all.
27:47
Right. Yeah, it was, I mean, obviously
27:49
the Covic thing and then everybody, well, what was
27:52
happening was they weren't getting the younger generation
27:55
of that now the kids that watched us grow up.
27:59
And I think they'll start to get it more if they would like I I
28:02
definitely would come back now, you know, now that my son's in
28:05
college and you know, we're not chasing our kids around as much.
28:07
So hopefully they do. I think it's, it's really cool.
28:10
And you've seen other organizations kind of do
28:13
something similar to it. So I think it's really cool.
28:16
Before I get before I get my pick, I just want to mention
28:18
Jabba. I was at because the Mets
28:19
brought it back for the first time in a while too in 2022 and
28:22
it was it was so funny. Like Daniel Murphy was playing
28:24
it at like 3 years removed from one of his last Major League
28:27
appearance. Was like.
28:28
Just so much like faster than everyone else it was.
28:31
Talk about a guy that got screwed, yeah.
28:35
Another guy was with the Nationals.
28:37
Yeah. All right.
28:37
Let's keep going. Speedy.
28:38
You're up, man. So I'm gonna go back to the same
28:40
era that I mentioned a catcher for, and that was the 1950s
28:42
Brooklyn Dodgers with Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson.
28:45
One of the best ones, one of the best overall infields in that
28:47
time, obviously Pee Wee Reese, one of the best defensive
28:50
shortstops we've ever seen as well.
28:51
And then Jackie Robinson, just like great all around athlete as
28:54
well. So 1950s Dodgers, those two.
28:56
Take my first one and for the second one, I'll go further back
28:59
to the 1970's, The Big Red Machine with Joe Morgan, Dave
29:03
Concepcio. Damn it.
29:04
There's another one Concepcio, and one of the most underrated
29:06
shortstops ever. And Joe Morgan, one of the best
29:09
overall second baseman we've ever seen.
29:12
Speedy is good man. All right, Jabba, you're up for
29:16
for two. I'm up for two.
29:19
You know what, I'm going to go another one being a Homer.
29:23
I am going to go Omar Vizquel and Roberto Alamar.
29:27
You've got almost 20 gold gloves between those guys.
29:32
Kind of the the modern day Ozzy Smith of what Omar could do with
29:36
the glove. I think second most old gloves
29:41
by Venezuelan and then Robbie just obviously wasn't with them
29:48
as long as the duration wasn't. But some of the plays that those
29:51
two made together and they they set a record one year for most
29:55
old plays turned. And I think they had like a 982
29:59
fielding percentage between the two.
30:01
And they they got to everything. They weren't Sean Dunstan and
30:04
Ryan Sandberg. Ryan Sandberg would Gator arm
30:06
the shit so he can he could keep his his fielding percentage up.
30:10
So, oh, yeah. And so, yes.
30:16
But yeah. So that that's probably.
30:19
And then I'm going to go, I mean, I have to.
30:20
And it's it's Ozzie Smith and Tom her, Tom her obviously isn't
30:25
the biggest thing that you can get.
30:26
But if you go look at Tom, her number, he was like, I wanted to
30:30
go like the prototypical Braves fan, Jeff Blouser, Mark Lemke,
30:34
because they were boring. But they made all the plays.
30:36
They played together for, you know, 14 years.
30:40
Well, yeah, Ozzie Smith and and Tom Hur from, you know, the
30:43
beginning of the 80s till 87. And just just to see the way the
30:47
wizard worked and how he made Tom Hur that much better.
30:50
And, and in the way that they, they went about their business.
30:53
It was, it was fun. I, I got to watch them as you
30:57
know, they were done and I was, I was a kid, but my dad was a
31:00
huge Ozzie Smith fan. So I got to, I got to see all
31:03
those highlights. So it was a a found appreciation
31:06
of the things that he could do that I sure as hell couldn't do.
31:10
All right, Speedy finish up the round.
31:12
All right, as much as I can't can't stand this team, they were
31:15
a very good infield and very good double play combo.
31:17
The Phillies with Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins.
31:20
Definitely Rollins was one of the better defensive shortstops
31:23
as I I couldn't stand that Phillies team as a Mets fan.
31:26
The two collapses were still scarring to this day.
31:30
But Utley again, well-rounded player all around and Jimmy
31:32
Rollins, not a Hall of Famer but still one of the best.
31:35
Fastest defensive shortstops range wise as well.
31:39
All right, Errol, who is taking you on to become the next king?
31:46
It's hard, man. That's hard.
31:48
That's all hard. It's so there are a lot of good
31:53
choices. It's so close.
31:54
Both guys, I was going to throw you off and be like Jeter and
31:58
Canoe, yeah. I'm surprised Speedy didn't say
32:01
Ray Ordonez and Jeff Kent. I'm going to, I'm going to go
32:04
with Jabba. Let's see what Jabba could do in
32:06
the next round. I don't think Ken was really as
32:08
good defensively and again. He wasn't.
32:10
He raked though, no? Cordonia's wasn't.
32:13
He's among the best, like second baseman, like all around.
32:16
Yeah, for sure. But his defense, I don't think
32:17
was as good. I'm going to go with Jabba.
32:20
Let's. Let's move.
32:21
All right? Everybody else come back in.
32:23
We got the round to become the king coming right up right now.
32:27
So let's get our voters in. I don't know why it keeps
32:30
changing camera angles. Aaron can come back in.
32:34
Here we go. And who are we missing?
32:36
Missing one more person. Zach is not on camera right now.
32:41
No, no, that's fine. Zach, you can come in on this.
32:44
All right, The last rounds. Here we go.
32:49
Biggest wrench. That's pretty funny.
32:52
Oh, we. Could just we could just do that
32:54
instead of what I have but. The answer is Patrick.
32:57
So who I have there's no debate. All right, so this one is
33:01
emotional. It could be either regular
33:04
season or playoffs, but I want to know the worst collapses of
33:10
all. These are teams I'll go #1 the
33:15
New York Yankees, OK, that that that up three O Mariano Rivera
33:20
on multiple times. You would have thought, hey, the
33:23
Yankees are going to win the World Series.
33:25
They had the best chance that year to go all the way with, you
33:29
know, obviously Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, all those guys.
33:32
And they choked. They let the Red Sox come back.
33:34
And then Johnny Damon in Game 7 just put on a freaking show
33:39
against the New York Yankees. So I'm going to go that, yeah,
33:43
that that Yankee team, that Yankee collapse.
33:45
Horrible. You know what's?
33:48
Funny about that too, Arrow. Remember the movie Fever Pitch?
33:51
Yes, yes. They had to redo the movie
33:54
because they had them going down to lose, so they had to put it
33:57
back in production. I know I because that's that's
33:59
not how they ended it. All right, in this round, we're
34:02
just going to go back and forth. Not like no one's going to go 2
34:04
times in a row. So Jabba, go ahead.
34:07
I mean, I got to go the 2017 Atlanta Falcons belonging A283
34:11
lead, right? And of course it had to be to
34:14
Tom Brady and losing it in overtime.
34:16
I mean, just an absolute debacle.
34:18
And you kind of just saw it unraveling between your eyes and
34:21
then you're just like, OK, well, it's just Tom Brady.
34:23
He's got this. Oh, look what happens.
34:26
Yeah, that one. That one was rough for the boys.
34:29
If you're if you're an Atlanta fan, they're probably now going
34:32
to celebrate the the All Star game there.
34:34
But that one's I think is is is cut deeper for a long time all.
34:38
Right over to Errol. How about the Boston Red Sox in
34:41
1986 collapsing against the New York Mets?
34:45
Remember that right through the wickets.
34:48
I remember that as the New York Mets.
34:50
That was the last time they won in a World Series.
34:52
In 1986, Doc Hood in Daryl Strawberry and and they have a
34:57
1-1 cents. And that was the Boston Red Sox.
35:00
Horrible, horrible loss the way they lost in that series.
35:04
So I'm going to go that that that was the year 1986 Boston
35:07
Red Sox. I'm going to I'm going to double
35:11
up with you on that Errol, because you know, obviously I'm
35:14
not a Red Sox fan. So I'm going to use the 2011 Red
35:17
Sox when they lost 20 of 27 with a nine game lead in September
35:22
and missed the playoffs entirely.
35:25
Didn't even get there. Just an absolute epic fail.
35:29
And we've seen it on both sides. We've seen when the Rockies won
35:31
22 out of 27 to get to the playoffs and then obviously
35:36
swept until every series, then get to the damn World Series and
35:41
had like 2 weeks off and then get swept.
35:42
But yeah, to be to lose 20 and 27 with A9 cushion lead in
35:48
September and not even make the playoffs like just missed it
35:51
entirely, that is God awful. Job but was that the team that
35:55
the Yankees swept them in like A5 game series because they had
35:59
to make up 1 and there was like 5 games in a row they just took
36:02
them to the woodshed? Because that's how they used to
36:04
do it. They would put, they would back
36:06
end all the like rain delays and you would literally lose your
36:10
days off in September or they would, they would do a double
36:12
header. But yeah, it was.
36:15
Yeah, that was yeah, because that was.
36:17
Five game sweep I remember. It was a 5 game sweep because
36:20
yeah, I was in the bullpen that year.
36:23
Bam, right, Let's go back to Errol.
36:27
Well, I'm going to, I'm trying to go back because I had to
36:30
remember the year and I found it.
36:31
It was the 2011 Texas Rangers. Remember that, that absolute
36:37
debacle against the Cardinals. I remember that.
36:41
It was absolutely horrible losing the way they did.
36:44
Lance Berkman, remember him? I I remember him very.
36:48
Well, he was a Yankee. Yes, he was.
36:50
And he was the big reason why He was the big reason why the the
36:54
Cardinals came back in that series.
36:56
That was absolutely putrid, the way the Texas Rangers and
36:59
Washington as he choked not once but two years in a row, the way
37:03
he did so the Texas Rangers. Right.
37:08
Last one, Jabba. We got to get got to get
37:11
something. You know, you, you brought this
37:13
up. So I think I'm probably going to
37:16
go run with it. I'm going to go with John
37:20
McEnroe in the 84 French. He had won 42 matches in a row,
37:25
which is the longest undefeated streak to start a tennis season.
37:29
He'd won 13 titles. It was one away from the record
37:33
for a Grand Slam that year. He was 21 and O, and literally
37:37
he's playing some dude that nobody knows.
37:40
And McEnroe gets upset, losing both in the tie breaks and gets
37:45
bumped after setting a record for the most wins to start in
37:49
not only a season but in Grand Slam tennis.
37:54
All right, it's time to vote. I'm going to go 1st.
37:58
I'm going to pick Errol on this one at the Yankees collapse.
38:01
It's hard to beat that one. I remember everything about that
38:05
game. In that series.
38:07
There was a Ruben Sierra ground rule.
38:08
Double that if it stayed in the Yankees, win that series.
38:11
Who could forget him as a Yankee?
38:14
As an A's. It's bad bounce.
38:16
You want to talk about wearing chains?
38:18
Ruben Sierra would wear some chain.
38:19
He could. Hit the ball.
38:20
Too literally, literally, if that ball doesn't bounce into
38:23
the stands on that short fence, the Yankees win that game.
38:25
That's all that was all that needed to happen.
38:27
But I thought Errol's picks really got like that Texas big
38:31
the end. And what was your second pick
38:32
again, Errol? Yet I went with the Red Sox
38:37
8686, one of the most famous, you know, the most famous joke
38:41
jobs of all time. I I got.
38:43
If you notice, I went all baseball.
38:46
I went all baseball. I didn't want to look past that.
38:48
I went. All yeah, you didn't have to.
38:49
You could have said, like Greg Norman, you know, collapse.
38:52
I don't look at that, I just remember what's in my hand.
38:54
Carl, pick the good word of the. Confidence.
38:56
The only one. The blown me with the Oilers
38:58
against the. Bills.
38:59
The only one that I did not remember the year was the Texas
39:02
Ranchers. I had to look that up.
39:03
Right. But the the the 2 ones that the
39:05
the Yankees and the Red Sox, those were my 2 collapses that I
39:08
definitely. Yeah, that's the 2011.
39:11
I was. That was the other one too,
39:13
because I was like I played during all of it and like you're
39:15
watching it in front of your eyes.
39:16
You're like, what is going? On they were the American League
39:18
favorites that year. Yeah.
39:21
All right, let's go to Zach. I'm going to go with Errol too.
39:24
I mean, I don't know much baseball, but I know about those
39:26
collapses. So it's just.
39:29
You can't really know baseball and not know this collapses, so
39:31
I'm just going to go with Errol. He just had better picks in my
39:33
opinion. So that's who I think.
39:36
All right, Aaron. I mean, they both said it,
39:40
Errol. I mean, you the two first picks.
39:42
I mean, those are the first things you you learn when you're
39:45
when you're growing up watching baseball, the 86 Red Sox.
39:48
And then obviously I was born. I was only two years old when it
39:51
happened, but 2004 Red Sox. Yeah, I, I know, but.
39:56
It's yeah 3. Years old baby baby.
40:00
Just a all right that clinches it for arrow Speedy.
40:02
Why don't you get tell us your breakdown.
40:03
I was. Going to say that was AI.
40:05
Love the tennis one at the end. Jabba that actually made it.
40:08
I'm going to go with Arrow too, but that made a much closer.
40:10
Like I thought the description of that was really good.
40:13
I just like Arrow describing the O3.
40:16
The O 4 Red Sox versus Yankees collapse was like it was going
40:20
to be tough to beat after that. You put up a valiant effort, but
40:22
I would have picked Arrow too. I believe we were calling that
40:26
five game sweep, the Boston Massacre at the time because it
40:29
was amazing. I don't.
40:30
I don't ever want to remember that year ever again.
40:34
Ever. All right, Jake, finish it up.
40:36
Oh damn, I was going to say I wish you guys let me go first.
40:38
I was actually going to pick Java because to me, like if you
40:41
want to talk about a collapse like that, Falcons pick against
40:44
the Patriots. Like if you want to talk about
40:46
ruining A franchise, like Atlanta has never gotten back
40:50
from that ever since. Like, sure, they've had seasons
40:52
where they were mediocre, OK, but they have never reached that
40:56
height ever again. So to me, like that's the
40:58
epitome of a collapse when you just ruin everything great that
41:02
you once had and it's all gone. But Congrats to Errol, but good
41:06
job. And all they had to do is run
41:08
the ball. It's a shame O'harel gets to
41:10
stay the King another week here on King of the.
41:16
Hill Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just kidding.
41:20
Anyways, all right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this Dial It
41:23
Up. We interrupted this regularly
41:25
scheduled hot mix to bring an important news.
41:27
We got a. Big broadcast to do here.
41:29
We're about to dial it up. All right, guys, this is our
41:36
Lightning Round news segment where we got five stories that
41:40
Errol has not been shown and he's going to have to dial up a
41:44
take and then one of us will comment on his take.
41:47
Are you right, guys? Ready to dial it up?
41:51
Yes. No.
41:51
Maybe so. Let's take a dump.
41:53
Let's. Go Here we go Errol.
41:55
First story The Steelers give general manager Omar Khan a new
42:01
three-year deal. This was an extension, so it's
42:04
actually four years on Saturday, I guess it was announced on
42:08
Saturday, it happened on Thursday.
42:09
Khan has been active this offseason, acquiring DK Metcalf,
42:13
Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
42:17
I believe we are building a championship roster and look
42:20
forward to the 2025 season and beyond as our goals continue to
42:25
be to bring another Super Bowl to the city of Pittsburgh and
42:28
our great fans, said Con, who's been his 25th year with the
42:32
Steelers franchise. He's been GM just the past since
42:35
2022 when he succeeded Kevin Colbert.
42:39
So the question really is, is Con building a bright future in
42:43
Pittsburgh or is he a con artist?
42:47
Errol. Dial it up.
42:50
Well, it's pretty serious. Now I'm going to set everybody
42:54
on fire because you signed the one and only DK Metcalf and you
42:59
will not and have not given TJ Watt his extension and his big
43:05
contract. This guy should be making 4550
43:08
million. If Miles Garrett's making that
43:10
money, all these guys are making big.
43:12
Mucho De Niro and your best player, your superstar player is
43:16
still sitting in the offseason waiting for that big contract.
43:19
This guy brought in Aaron Rodgers.
43:22
OK, you had Russell W Russell Wilson there.
43:26
You also had Justin Fields there, guys Justin Fields who
43:29
you let go to The Jets because you decided to start Russell
43:33
Wilson over him when you were four and two.
43:35
Your organization is a joke. You're never going to win it, by
43:38
the way. Eight straight seasons, eight
43:41
first round exits. Khan should have never got an
43:44
extension and Mike Tomlin could be on his way out as well after
43:48
they choked in this year with the great Aaron Rodgers.
43:51
And by the way, TJ, don't sign the contract.
43:54
Sit back, relax and make sure that everybody enjoys the show.
43:58
When you get paid the biggest contract in defense of football
44:02
history, when you get $50 million so.
44:05
Yeah, there's really not a lot of things you could justify this
44:07
type of move with a lot of just replacing guys with either
44:11
slight upgrades or question marks when it came to character
44:14
or a little bit of both. In the case of DK Metcalf,
44:17
obviously he's a better receiver on paper than George Pickens,
44:19
but he's still very loud. You bring in Jalen Ramsey, who
44:22
played well in Miami the last two years, is he definitively an
44:26
upgrade over Minka Fitzpatrick talent wise?
44:28
I don't think so. I think Minka Fitzpatrick's
44:29
versatility is there. Yes, he's healthier.
44:31
Yes, he's very good outside. It's not a definitive upgrade.
44:34
And then there's Aaron Rodgers, which yes, he's like talent
44:37
upgrade maybe over Russell Wilson.
44:39
And he is a loudmouth in the locker room that drives these
44:43
teams down. It just really doesn't make any
44:45
sense to trust. It can't be anything better than
44:47
just mediocrity at this point. I would say 9:00 and 8:00 at
44:51
most. And I can't even trust that
44:52
right now. And.
44:53
You're going to pick it. Can he pick it?
44:56
I could go on and on and on. The quarterbacks that he was
44:58
after Ben Roethlisberger, he's been an absolute plus.
45:01
We're trying to find veteran quarterbacks to come in or even
45:04
quarterbacks that Mason Rudolph. Are you kidding me?
45:08
Get out of here. This guy shouldn't have got it,
45:10
shouldn't have gotten a three, three-year extension.
45:13
You have TJ Watt, the best defensive player in the league
45:16
and you still haven't extended him And you give DK Metcalf a
45:19
guy that you didn't even draft the money that you gave him.
45:22
What a joke. And I was very critical of
45:24
Kohlberg too, but I thought he had a lot of really bad moves at
45:26
the end of his tenure before he before he stepped down in 2022.
45:30
But it's not like you're justifying to say that Khan is
45:32
like doing anything this massive improvements.
45:37
All right, guys, let's move on to the next story here coming
45:41
up. Oh, here's a great picture.
45:43
An old man found the mermaid. Yes, it's Bill Belichick's
45:46
girlfriend who's apparently now blocking wrestling transfers.
45:52
Jabba, you're going to love this one.
45:54
Nebraska wrestling coach Mark Madden made some waves on Friday
45:59
when he claimed there were some issues when an athlete was
46:02
trying to transfer to UNC from Nebraska on his wrestling team
46:06
because of head football coach Bill Belichick's girlfriends
46:11
Jordan Hudson. Rob Cole, the North Carolina
46:14
coach who I've known for 35 years and is a great friend of
46:17
mine, called me up when they didn't let AJ into the school at
46:20
North Carolina and AJ was already there training some and
46:24
they didn't let him in in mission wise for various
46:27
reasons. And Bill Belichick's girlfriend
46:30
had something to do with that. Manning believes Hudson made
46:35
sure he didn't come to the university because of an
46:37
incident in high school where he filmed in the other underage
46:40
friends having sex. It was, it was just an incident.
46:44
There was no punishment that when he got to the college ranks
46:47
from that, there are no. He claims that Hudson also
46:49
impacted the status of a potential basketball player at
46:54
UNC in a similar way. Not even football.
46:59
Now it's affecting the great university in Nebraska.
47:01
Jabba, time for Errol. Dial it up.
47:06
First of all, Bill Belichick's wife, girlfriend, whatever she
47:09
is slut is out there doing whatever she's doing over there
47:14
on a football field. She should not be getting
47:15
involved with any of the other programs.
47:19
The fact that she is just shows you one thing.
47:21
Bill Belichick has no control over her or her.
47:24
You know what? Her vagina.
47:26
Her vagina shakes and North Carolina listens and as far as
47:30
I'm concerned, she should not be speaking and she should not be a
47:35
point of any kind of return when everybody knows that this woman
47:39
doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.
47:41
She knows nothing about sports and all she does is get on her
47:44
hands and knees and sucks Billy off.
47:46
I am so tired of hearing about this girl.
47:49
She can look the part, do whatever she wants.
47:52
Shakes her boobies, shakes her ass.
47:54
I could give a rat's ass. Stay away from the game of
47:58
football. Stay away from sports.
48:00
You don't know what you're doing and you're ruining your man's
48:04
name, which has been built as a sacred point on a sacred part of
48:09
professional football. Yeah, it doesn't really make
48:15
sense to me in any any way, shape or form.
48:17
Like, OK, So what technically is her title?
48:22
Bill Belichick's chick side piece arm candy.
48:26
Like, I don't, I mean, I don't know.
48:28
I don't know her. So I will not refer to her as
48:30
that because I don't know her. I don't.
48:32
You don't have to. All right, I'll.
48:33
Tell you she's but she's the second runner up for Miss Maine.
48:36
That is the only title I know for her.
48:38
Right. And so, but you, you as Bill
48:41
Belichick in in what you've created for yourself, why, why
48:47
are you even allowing her to be involved in any way, shape or
48:50
form with any of this? Like just shut your mouth like
48:52
this has nothing to do with you. Why are you trying to make in
48:57
input on other sports that have nothing to do with what your man
49:00
is even coaching? Like it's wrestling and
49:02
basketball and it's like, and and why is North Carolina?
49:06
Why are they allowing it like this?
49:10
It smells like shit, but we're not there yet.
49:13
Yeah, Jabba, I was even going to say I'm pretty sure that UNC had
49:16
the deal this year to do in season Hard Knocks.
49:20
That's what she. Said no.
49:22
Yeah, there was just she pretty much got them like they were
49:25
like during the interview, I'm pretty sure UNC, which is like
49:27
we're not dealing with this like we're just going to.
49:28
Cancel Doesn't he look like Dracula?
49:32
You know, and I was talking about Adam Silver when I said he
49:35
looked like Dracula. That's hard sex on clip that
49:38
one. I think we're talking to speedy,
49:40
but Jake, I I think we actually covered that exact event, you
49:44
know, a couple of months before you spoke about she's been in
49:46
the news a lot. That's put it, let's put it that
49:49
way. Oh, we've got another guy who
49:50
likes to be in the news that's Kendrick Perkins.
49:53
Errol get this. He says Karl Anthony Towns needs
49:57
to lose 15 lbs Yes, Kendrick Perkins.
50:01
He can't even butt his jacket when he's sitting at the dais.
50:05
So Kendrick Perk is not exactly the picture of fitness these
50:08
days. Has some interesting advice for
50:10
Knicks power forward slash center Karl Anthony Towns.
50:14
Oops, one second right here. Here it is on the Perk Unplugged
50:18
podcast, Perk, Perkins said. Carl Anthony Towns, if I was
50:23
you, I'd go lose me about 15 lbs.
50:26
You get 15 lbs off you bro, and you stay consistent.
50:29
It's going to be smoke, boy. You going to be ready?
50:32
I'm telling you all man, I'm looking forward, OK?
50:37
Perk thinks that getting in better shape would improve Cat
50:40
and Jalen Brunson, who are below average defenders with their
50:43
lateral quickness. Perk, who is 610, played at 270
50:48
lbs, was as big as 382 lbs before a recent weight loss.
50:53
He was showing off in this picture.
50:57
Errol. First of all, I don't want to
51:00
hear about a Boston Celtics speaking about a New York Knick
51:03
or a player Kendrick Perkins is the biggest dope in professional
51:07
sports because after he retired the only person that would hire
51:11
this idiot to go on a national stage is Stephen A Smith.
51:16
What a dumbass. And this guy comes out and
51:18
throws Karl Anthony Towns under the bus Karl Anthony Towns is a
51:22
first team all NBA player, second team all NBA player.
51:25
Has he this guy ever been a first or second team all NBA
51:28
player? He's the first team, second team
51:31
all NBA douche. That's what Kendrick Perkins is.
51:35
He shouldn't be speaking. I don't want to hear what he has
51:37
to say. As far as I'm concerned, the
51:39
fact that he rooted for the Knicks this year only tells me
51:42
that he jinxed the New York Knicks.
51:44
So Kendrick, go push away. Go on Barclays side.
51:48
Because every time Barclays speaks, everything on the
51:51
opposite side happens. I don't want to hear from
51:53
Kendrick Perkins ever again. And as far as his fatness and
51:57
his fat ass, Mike Joppa says learn how to shut in a button up
52:00
your your damn mouth and button up your damn coat because you
52:03
look like an idiot too, fat ass. The problem is, he's right.
52:08
Like he's right if Cat loses some weight and gets lower and
52:12
he works out and. It's not going to make a
52:13
difference. It's better on defense.
52:15
It'll that of course it does if you will lose weight and you get
52:18
a little bit. Cat doesn't play.
52:20
Defense, he doesn't care. He doesn't care.
52:23
Well, you say that, but if you were in shape, you wouldn't be
52:26
making all these bad fouls because you have better control
52:28
of your body. You know this.
52:30
If you're lighter, you have better control over your body
52:32
and how you do things. Let's just look at like Joel
52:34
Embiid, when he's got like a bad knee, like he's just flopping
52:37
all over the place, swinging his arms and then goes, what?
52:40
What did I do? Well, because he's not healthy
52:42
and he's not able to control himself on defense.
52:45
A guy like Cat, who's not as big as Joel Embiid needs to have
52:49
really good balance, and he doesn't have good balance.
52:52
That's why you see all the dumb fouls him getting, you know,
52:55
beat and then getting frustrated like a 7 year old and like
52:58
fouling the kid. Perk is right, even though he's
53:02
not the one to talk, really. Fish, Let me ask you a question.
53:05
Carl Anthony Towns, he played for Kentucky, right?
53:08
Yes. He was in pretty good shape when
53:09
he played college ball, right? I mean, yeah, he was pretty good
53:12
college. Did he ever play a liquor
53:14
defense on that Kentucky team? Did he yes or no, yes or no?
53:21
Did he ever play a lick of defense?
53:23
Yes or no? Not really no.
53:25
OK, so you're going to come out and say and you're going to
53:28
agree with Perkins and saying if he lost 1516?
53:32
Pounds. He'd be better.
53:33
He's not playing defense. He's not just about to be
53:36
player. He's not going to do that.
53:38
He's A1 dimensional type of player.
53:41
Stop it, Perkins. Should be speaking.
53:44
Button your lips, man. I don't want to hear what you
53:46
have to say, you dumb ass. Let me come on your podcast and
53:49
let me piss all over it, OK, That's.
53:52
Right, that would be the Perk Unplugged podcast.
53:55
All right, here we go. Next story.
53:57
This ones really crazy. So this is former Dolphins
54:00
defensive back Rashad Jones who was robbed of two and a half
54:04
$1,000,000 in a white collar crime and it was and he was
54:08
schemed out of over 2 and a half million in Grand Theft and money
54:12
laundering scheme. Now usually when you hear these
54:14
things it's some kind of shady advisor.
54:16
Well, Jones's financial advisor Isaiah Williams worked for
54:20
Merrill Lynch and you abused his access to Jones's personal bank
54:24
accounts along with the help of 49 year old Octavia Graham was
54:28
pictured in this slide here stole money to fund his
54:32
extravagant lifestyle and pay off his credit cards that he was
54:35
using to live like, I guess live like a king.
54:38
Overall here, get this, over 133 illegal wire transfers, 88
54:43
illegal Zell transfers and 16 bad handwritten checks were
54:47
written to defraud Jones of all the money.
54:50
Again, he worked at Merrill Lynch and Jones's attorneys are
54:53
working with Merrill Lynch to try to get, you know, this
54:57
figured out. They are one of the most
55:00
renowned investment firms. It's hard for athletes to figure
55:04
out what to do with all this money.
55:06
And if the one place that's like you're supposed to trust is
55:08
doing this, that's pretty tough. I don't know what you think
55:12
about it. Errol, it's time for you to.
55:14
Dial it up. Are any of these people hanging
55:17
out with Ohtani's friends? I mean, this story is this
55:22
absolutely a joke? And honestly, I don't, I I don't
55:27
know Jones. I don't know him personally, but
55:29
I do know anybody that loses this kind of money through wire
55:32
transfers and not understand in a timely fashion that money was
55:37
being diluted and not being brought back in any kind of way
55:41
through his accounts just tells you how stupid he really is.
55:45
These football players, they believe and not even football
55:48
athletes believe in their accountants, these different,
55:51
you know, companies, financial organizations that they're
55:54
working with that they're going to help them and do right by
55:56
them. And how many times have you
55:58
heard over the years that these these financial companies, AKA
56:02
Antoine Walker, just absolutely throw his money away and believe
56:06
in where his money is going to go and where the money is going
56:08
to be divided out and he's becomes absolutely broke.
56:12
You hear the stories all the time and this idiot is going to
56:15
give 2 and $1,000,000 to a company yeah has the name
56:18
Merrill Lynch and not know where his money is.
56:20
Going through the wire transfers only tells you one thing.
56:23
The guy needs the right people around him.
56:27
What a dumbass. Well, it just like for me, I,
56:32
you know, now it's like everybody with their debit cards
56:34
or credit cards, like you get an alert on your phone.
56:38
Like if there's, you know, if there's a transaction or
56:40
something, I get an e-mail or an alert depending on how you set
56:43
it up. So I don't know if it was just
56:45
the trust factor or you just not paying attention.
56:50
I mean, yeah, they can kind of get away with it.
56:52
You know, they, they, you always hear these scams of getting, you
56:55
know, people. It's like, hey, I'm going to try
56:56
and take, you know, $8 and $12.00 because you don't notice
56:59
it. And then it's like, OK, I got
57:01
him. And then it's a big one.
57:02
You're like, oh, and it's just a pain in the butt because it's at
57:05
some point every single one of us, our card number has gotten
57:08
stolen and there's been fraudulent charges.
57:12
That's just the way it goes. But for that to happen like it
57:15
was, either he didn't have the right people around them, nobody
57:19
was really watching his money, or it was just one of those
57:22
where he was a dumbass, didn't care.
57:24
Dumbass. And just yeah, so yeah, it
57:27
sucks. And obviously it wasn't like
57:29
this was just like a one time thing.
57:31
It obviously kept happening. How do you not know?
57:34
Unbelievable. It's the old Mizuhara EP.
57:39
Mizuhara defense. I had no idea.
57:40
I didn't know it was that guy. He did all of it.
57:44
It was that dude, you're like, who the hell is that?
57:47
It was him, this little guy who was just in my stooges my entire
57:50
life. That guy.
57:51
Yeah, I didn't know anything about it.
57:52
Let you go, my butt. The last one have you?
57:57
Did you see this one? Errol Alvin Kamara throughout
58:00
the first pitch for the Cubs. This was funny though.
58:04
Let's just say it didn't go exactly as planned.
58:07
Spikes it as you see right there about 4550 feet from the mound.
58:12
But he says no, no, let me go again, give it back.
58:16
He's waving to everybody. He's got the face on.
58:19
He still throws a ball, but he gets it over the plate.
58:23
Made me think about all of the great, horrible first pitches
58:29
we've seen. And we saw Haktua throw out a
58:31
first pitch for the Mets last year.
58:33
Just a cap on the great season the Mets had about. $0.50 That
58:35
was funny. Yeah, that was the one I would
58:38
remember. But Errol, why don't you tell us
58:39
a little bit about that when you dial it up?
58:41
Well, I, I mean, obviously I would be embarrassed.
58:44
I'm a professional athlete. I'm one of the best running
58:46
backs in the NFL, been one of the best running backs in
58:49
athletic running backs in all the football for how many years
58:52
and I can't throw a ball over the plate.
58:54
That is despicable, honestly. And then he wants to throw the
58:57
ball again and then he throws another dud.
59:00
Thank God he didn't hit the dirt in the floor on the on the
59:02
ground on the cleats. I I will say this now, the
59:05
Camaro should stay away from baseball.
59:07
Just play football, worry about the bad, as we say bad.
59:13
It's not grass, we'll call it just terrible turf.
59:18
OK, it's it's to me Alvin Kamara should just concentrate on
59:23
football. And I again, we've seen this
59:25
many, many times. We've seen many different
59:27
athletes try to throw the ball or even musicians or even
59:31
actors, actresses, every single even ex baseball players that
59:35
can't throw it over the plate. So I'm not going to blame Alvin
59:38
Kamara throwing the ball the way he did.
59:41
I'm just going to say that he was a sore loser and he had to
59:45
throw it again. So I, I'm, I'm never doing that.
59:48
If I ever get a chance to go out there and they want me to throw
59:52
a ball, you know what I would do?
59:53
I would plead the 5th and say, okay, Jabba, you throw it for
59:56
me. I'm not embarrassing myself.
59:59
Did you see the one though? And I'll let the boys go after
1:00:01
this one. And I don't know if you guys can
1:00:03
pull it up, but it was, I think like. 2016, Seventeen.
1:00:08
It was the Red Sox to do through a first pitch and hit the guy in
1:00:11
the Dick, the photographer. That's funny because he, I mean
1:00:16
he couldn't see it, smoked it. I mean, there there's been a
1:00:21
whole bunch of famous ones that have been really bad.
1:00:24
Carl Lewis, The Olympian got it about like not even 10 feet in
1:00:29
front of him. That's one of the worst ones
1:00:31
ever. Baba Bowie from Howard Stern
1:00:34
show at one of the worst ones ever that they always made fun
1:00:37
of him for. You're mad, Stephen A Smith.
1:00:39
Your Mets are falling in on this for this.
1:00:42
Show for this show, if they ever asked us to throw at for Yankees
1:00:47
or the Mets, I'd be like, you know, I plead it.
1:00:50
I'll let Jabba throw it. I'm not embarrassing myself in
1:00:53
front of all those fans. Not Jabba.
1:00:54
We're just not. We're just recruiting all the
1:00:56
ones that we know are going. To I know I could throw it, but
1:00:58
for some reason, I, I mean, New York is New York.
1:01:01
I don't want to put myself in a bad situation.
1:01:03
To be honest with you, I feel like again, I've played baseball
1:01:06
all my life. I haven't played soul for now.
1:01:07
So I feel like it's pretty. Maybe it's some nerves, but like
1:01:11
you can't just like, even if we just like lobby over over to the
1:01:15
plate, like you can't even get over the plate out of something.
1:01:17
You you would piss your pants if you're standing in front of.
1:01:20
50,000 people That is true. No, that is true.
1:01:24
I. Pissed what?
1:01:25
You know what the You know what the best one is?
1:01:28
It was former President George W Bush who got up on the mounds
1:01:32
right after 911 and fired a strike right down the middle.
1:01:35
That was the best one ever. Yeah.
1:01:38
It's $0.50, probably the worst one ever though.
1:01:41
Fish. Now the real question if Nathan
1:01:42
were ever a throw a first pitch. What?
1:01:44
Would oh, I would love to see you versus Nathan who throws a
1:01:48
strike first. Hold on, hold on.
1:01:50
Nathan actually posted himself throwing a football and the
1:01:54
first thing Jabba says is you need to work on the lower
1:01:57
undercarriage. You got to work on your legs.
1:02:01
To be fair, it wasn't the best form I've ever seen.
1:02:04
I I coached kids though, Cody. Gave him compliments.
1:02:08
He's he's a nice man in it, goody, that's why.
1:02:12
Chava was like, you got to fix. You got to fix those sticks.
1:02:17
Well guys, that's been another great addition of.
1:02:19
Dial it all right. It's been a crazy one.
1:02:25
By the way. Hopefully Tommy's feeling a
1:02:27
little bit better driving home. Hopefully he gets home safe
1:02:30
because he was on the toilet for about an hour and 50 minutes.
1:02:34
I mean, that guy, I feel so bad, man Dude, he was sweating,
1:02:38
soaked. I don't know what the hell he
1:02:40
ate, but he ate something. Something burned that asshole of
1:02:43
his. Anyway, thank you to all the

be Phoenix Suns play by broadcaster and Dallas Cowboys
1:03:06
play by play broadcaster Kevin or Ray?
1:03:08
Oh, Kevin will join us. And by the way, Kevin, I'm sure
1:03:11
he has his own thoughts about George Pickens, as we heard CD
1:03:14
Lamb and George Pickens on a broadcast recently and CD came
1:03:18
out and I wouldn't have ever thought this to to be true.
1:03:21
CD Lamb said there's no one or two, it's all once.
1:03:25
And he says now you got to contend with two number ones on
1:03:28
one roster. Well, we'll see how that works
1:03:31
for the whole season with George Pickens doesn't see enough
1:03:33
balls, especially up his ass. And if he does, maybe somebody's
1:03:36
going to bend over and give him a nice little poo Tang pie as
1:03:39
Speedy would. Say fish.
1:03:40
Maybe that's why Kevante Turpin had to do what he did, because
1:03:43
he knew he wasn't a #1. Oh, absolutely.
1:03:45
By the way, Speedy, I haven't used this drop in a long time.
1:03:48
