- 5:08Speaker 1: we're gonna find out the time goes on. They hop

- 5:12Speaker 1: Really seriously, really okay, Katy is back on as well,
- 5:15Speaker 1: will whenever you get you get there. We're gonna start
- 5:18Speaker 1: off with pundit funded tonight, though, says Jacob obviously has
- 5:21Speaker 1: opinions of his own that will transition.
- 5:23Speaker 6: To other minor facts. Minor facts.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Oh okay, Candy, what's going on? Candace?
- 5:32Speaker 7: I'm glad to be here with all of you, gentlemen,
- 5:34Speaker 7: and it's nice to have Chris and Rob first time
- 5:36Speaker 7: on the show. Glad to have you guys on.
- 5:39Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 5:40Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know what, We're gonna lead off
- 5:42Speaker 1: with Pundit's funny, Jacob, what do you got?
- 5:44Speaker 6: All right? Coaches, I got something for you here. This
- 5:48Speaker 6: is gonna start with It's gonna start with Craig Counsel
- 5:51Speaker 6: and it's gonna go all the way through to any
- 5:53Speaker 6: other sport possible. Your analytics are killing you, absolutely positively
- 5:59Speaker 6: killing you. It's like the Craig Council. Instead of going to.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Oh now we lost him.
- 6:10Speaker 4: How many David like what he was saying, so he
- 6:12Speaker 4: got rid of him.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I'm sorry, positionechnology and technology we trust not really, but okay,
- 6:24Speaker 1: this is this was the thing.
- 6:25Speaker 6: It's like this what I was saying with this is
- 6:28Speaker 6: like instead of going to trip away and go pick
- 6:29Speaker 6: up a player just because Jordan Wicks didn't work out
- 6:32Speaker 6: in Chicago, you want to keep playing one inning pitcher, yeah,
- 6:37Speaker 6: and then put in another. Does that means you have
- 6:39Speaker 6: six or seven pictures a game. You're wearing out your bullpen.
- 6:42Speaker 6: That's your analytics for you. And then you want to
- 6:45Speaker 6: play Justin Turner who's like seventy seven years old, and
- 6:49Speaker 6: you want to play him there you want to do
- 6:50Speaker 6: the lefty righty thing. Whatever. See, all of this comes
- 6:55Speaker 6: it goes to it goes to football, It goes to anything.
- 6:58Speaker 6: You guys. Remember I'm just asking you guys, is do
- 7:00Speaker 6: you remember a couple of years ago when it was
- 7:02Speaker 6: Philadelphia versus San Francisco Super Bowl not Super Bowl? The
- 7:06Speaker 6: NFC title game and Brock Perdy got hurt. You remember
- 7:10Speaker 6: that thing. Shanahan is supposed to be this absolute positive guru.
- 7:17Speaker 6: Yet when you party went down, there had Josh Johnson
- 7:20Speaker 6: and everything else. They ran the ball in the middle
- 7:22Speaker 6: of the whole time. Meanwhile, Mike dick Get, the most
- 7:27Speaker 6: boring dude in the history of the universe, was doing
- 7:29Speaker 6: reverses reverses with Walter Payton and Jim McMahon while you
- 7:35Speaker 6: know we should going the other way. I'm saying, and
- 7:37Speaker 6: this is the most boring offensive guy in the world,
- 7:39Speaker 6: and he was doing that.
- 7:42Speaker 2: That different year, right, different year, right, the game has changed.
- 7:48Speaker 6: Why did the most boring guy had the one of
- 7:50Speaker 6: the most exciting ideas and the most analytical guy doesn't.
- 7:54Speaker 6: That's my point whe're at. We're overdue. It's like they
- 7:59Speaker 6: brought analytics in with the movie Moneyball. They brought those in.
- 8:04Speaker 6: They were supposed to mix with the gut, with the
- 8:07Speaker 6: Jack mckeons. They're supposed to mix in with with all
- 8:10Speaker 6: of the one with the Dusty Bakers. They're supposed to
- 8:12Speaker 6: mix in with that. But that did not happen. All
- 8:17Speaker 6: of these young ones, the Craigy, the only the only
- 8:21Speaker 6: manager in the league that goes with this guy I
- 8:23Speaker 6: believe is Dan Wilson of Seattle, and it's like and
- 8:28Speaker 6: it's one of those things, and then that's just fifty
- 8:30Speaker 6: to fifty and how people think of him. We have
- 8:33Speaker 6: a problem with coaches. We have a problem with coaches
- 8:38Speaker 6: not there. It's like they coach like they're afraid to
- 8:40Speaker 6: get fired, even if they're winning, they are afraid to
- 8:44Speaker 6: get making a thought. It's like I think Aaron Boone
- 8:47Speaker 6: is way too over the top with analytics. I think
- 8:50Speaker 6: the Craig councils over the top of analytics. I think
- 8:53Speaker 6: Ali mar Moole is terrible, and the Cardinals with it.
- 8:56Speaker 6: It's like, you don't have to yeah, and we don't.
- 9:02Speaker 6: We have a problem with thinking for yourself. And it's like,
- 9:06Speaker 6: oh my god, even if I win, I could be fired.
- 9:10Speaker 6: And I think it goes back to Matt Maggie with
- 9:12Speaker 6: Mitchell Trubisky, and when Trubisky would make a good play,
- 9:15Speaker 6: he's still scream at him. It's like, we're not allowed
- 9:19Speaker 6: to think for ourselves anymore. We're not allowed to think
- 9:23Speaker 6: for ourselves anymore. It's like I brought up Ditka as
- 9:26Speaker 6: the joke. Thank you very much. We appreciate that brought
- 9:30Speaker 6: up Dicka as the joke, but he had somebody say
- 9:33Speaker 6: to him, chill, we scored a touchdown, and then he
- 9:36Speaker 6: shut up. We need these things, we need a little bit.
- 9:41Speaker 6: We don't need all the screamers, and we don't need
- 9:42Speaker 6: all the things we need that. We do need a
- 9:45Speaker 6: certain level of analygs because the world's changed in sports,
- 9:47Speaker 6: but we also need people to think for themselves, right
- 9:50Speaker 6: Because how I'm just gonna say this in a final
- 9:53Speaker 6: part of the Pundit's pundit here, I'm gonna say this,
- 9:56Speaker 6: how good of a coach are you really? That's where
- 10:01Speaker 6: the thing is. You can because I mean, are you
- 10:04Speaker 6: doing all your analytics? You win it all in the
- 10:06Speaker 6: first year, and then everything cas in, your injuries come
- 10:09Speaker 6: and then you fail, and that happens more often than not.
- 10:13Speaker 6: The best coaches are the ones that keep things alive
- 10:16Speaker 6: when things are when things are going bad.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And so take them. Go back to Justin Turner. Give
- 10:24Speaker 1: me some clarity about where you were going with Justin Turner.
- 10:26Speaker 6: Justin that was just an example. They use Justin Turner
- 10:30Speaker 6: and match up positions and he hit like two O eight. Okay, Yeah,
- 10:35Speaker 6: he's in like two o eight and it's like, you
- 10:36Speaker 6: have better options than that. But that's the thing that's
- 10:41Speaker 6: my thing with all coaches. Take your risk and your job,
- 10:45Speaker 6: and I'm talking about quarterbacks and everybody to take your risk,
- 10:48Speaker 6: think for yourself because the ones that think for themselves
- 10:51Speaker 6: are the ones that are going to make it when
- 10:53Speaker 6: things start to cave in. We have to get back
- 10:57Speaker 6: to that again.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Hey, College got sports guys. Thank you very much for subscribing.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Much appreciated, georgeo Iycorn. Great show tonight, Thank you very much.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Never know you might be back on here sometime as well.
- 11:06Speaker 1: I never rule out bringing you on this show. I
- 11:08Speaker 1: just try. I'm like a hockey coach. I just go ahead,
- 11:10Speaker 1: Mitch and nass the line and see which one's work.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So I cour just a little fyi. You never know
- 11:15Speaker 1: when you'll be on Wednesdays, and I'll never know what
- 11:17Speaker 1: day you won't be on. Stay tuned as the world. Okay,
- 11:21Speaker 1: as long as I'm out of General Hospital, that's good enough.
- 11:24Speaker 1: All right. Well, we're gonna recap something that we talked
- 11:26Speaker 1: about last week very quickly, and that's says we talked
- 11:29Speaker 1: about around the Horn and here for their final episode,
- 11:34Speaker 1: it did draw four hundred and eighty two thousand people,
- 11:38Speaker 1: so that's not a bad turnout for Around the Horn.
- 11:40Speaker 1: As I said before, And I'll let Rob and Chris,
- 11:45Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about Around the Horn.
- 11:48Speaker 2: I haven't watched Around the Horn in a long time.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I have to tell you esp I've been a little
- 11:55Speaker 2: down on ESPN. I haven't liked their baseball coverage.
- 11:59Speaker 1: You know, for a long long time.
- 12:01Speaker 2: So I really have not watched that show. I don't
- 12:04Speaker 2: know the last time I watched it. I did not
- 12:06Speaker 2: even catch the last episode, so you know, I gave
- 12:11Speaker 2: up on it a long time ago.
- 12:15Speaker 1: I only had two words for good riddens. I knew
- 12:17Speaker 1: a lot of people on there. I thought it reminded
- 12:19Speaker 1: me of Highlight. Okay, it was a fix, and I
- 12:21Speaker 1: know a lot of guys. They had bad opinions, they
- 12:24Speaker 1: were looking to get out earlier, but I knew the inside. Okay, Pizza,
- 12:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna call him Pizza because that's easy for me.
- 12:30Speaker 6: That's right, that's fine, Jaziah Pizza.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, Pizza?
- 12:37Speaker 4: I've heard a lot. No, I'm the same thing with Rob.
- 12:39Speaker 4: I used to watch it every day, right, but I
- 12:42Speaker 4: would say ten fifteen years ago, I just gave up
- 12:46Speaker 4: on it, like you said, it just I don't know,
- 12:49Speaker 4: it just got to the point where I was just
- 12:50Speaker 4: sick of the show, you know. But I did like
- 12:53Speaker 4: the format early on, but I guess it just.
- 12:55Speaker 6: Wore on me.
- 12:56Speaker 4: And ESPN as a whole is just as just really
- 13:00Speaker 4: you know, turn into garbage. You know that baseball coverage
- 13:02Speaker 4: is horrible. If it's not basketball, they don't really give
- 13:05Speaker 4: you that much coverage on on the sport. So I'm
- 13:08Speaker 4: just not a fan of you. And and again ESPN,
- 13:10Speaker 4: I used to love, you know, growing up with it.
- 13:12Speaker 4: It was it was the best around, you know. Now
- 13:14Speaker 4: I just for baseball coverage. I stay on MLB Network,
- 13:18Speaker 4: you know until the Yanche games start.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, it's regressed. I remember when, yeah, when
- 13:25Speaker 1: they had Sean Miller and Joe Morgan. I want to
- 13:27Speaker 1: keep messing with It's regrets so bad it makes me
- 13:33Speaker 1: sick in my stomach. I would rather go ahead, eat
- 13:35Speaker 1: my own cook and think God, candy coats. I don't
- 13:37Speaker 1: have to waste my time to get sick. I got
- 13:40Speaker 1: enough medical problems as it is. I don't have to
- 13:41Speaker 1: call their perch and my kicking. But it is awful,
- 13:45Speaker 1: all right. So what we're gonna do is we do
- 13:47Speaker 1: have a format in here compliments of the country called
- 13:50Speaker 1: called my Town. So that particular said, Okay.
- 13:54Speaker 6: You're asking about the you're asking about the let's see
- 13:58Speaker 6: you around the horn.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Well all those just informing people. Jacob is that the
- 14:03Speaker 1: last episode had four hundred and eighty two thousand people
- 14:05Speaker 1: that watch it.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Anything you want, two thousand and one voted for j Marriotti.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I remember Jay Marriotti used to work in Detroit before
- 14:14Speaker 1: I went over to Chicago.
- 14:15Speaker 6: He was heard, was, yeah, it's good Rins like you said.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I like George bu Bori's common candy. Put it up there.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Did you see Steven A. Smith play Solitaire on his
- 14:26Speaker 1: phone from the end that was bad?
- 14:30Speaker 4: Yeah, he was probably doing the same thing I was doing.
- 14:35Speaker 4: I wasn't watching it.
- 14:37Speaker 6: He was trying to make five bucks at a time
- 14:39Speaker 6: on one of those cash games. You can't afford anything else,
- 14:43Speaker 6: you know.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, still, I guess if they're that boring. Steven A.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Smith's an interesting burry. I did meet him actually at
- 14:53Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Its unbelievable, but it's okay to take
- 14:56Speaker 1: a picture of him. He was nice to me. But
- 14:57Speaker 1: that's as on I get my candor from them. No,
- 15:01Speaker 1: I get from caffeine. But that's for another story, not
- 15:05Speaker 1: that you can hardly tell. So what we're gonna do
- 15:07Speaker 1: is we have a segment in here called my town.
- 15:09Speaker 1: We're gonna let the new guys get going here. All right, Pete,
- 15:11Speaker 1: So what's going on in your town right now?
- 15:15Speaker 4: I mean, right now? You gotta go baseball? Right base
- 15:18Speaker 4: Mets Yankees both in the division, hunt for their for
- 15:22Speaker 4: both their divisions. They're both playing good, and they're not
- 15:25Speaker 4: even playing as good as they should be. Right I'm
- 15:27Speaker 4: sure Robbill said the same thing about the Mets. The
- 15:29Speaker 4: Yankees are not playing that good right now. They're losing
- 15:32Speaker 4: to Toronto eight to four, so it looks like they're
- 15:35Speaker 4: probably gonna lose that that series two, two to three,
- 15:38Speaker 4: and they're gonna go down, what back down to four
- 15:41Speaker 4: games for the or five games out of the out
- 15:45Speaker 4: of the division. So but they're still leading in the
- 15:47Speaker 4: in the wildcards, so as long as you make the playoffs,
- 15:49Speaker 4: I guess that's good. But I think right now, both
- 15:53Speaker 4: of us, and I think all of Major League Baseball
- 15:55Speaker 4: are waiting for the trade deadline, right, I mean, I
- 15:58Speaker 4: think we were waiting for teams to step out and say,
- 16:00Speaker 4: all right, we're selling or or whatever so we could
- 16:03Speaker 4: get this, you know, get more, get get more moves going,
- 16:07Speaker 4: because both both our teams need to add. If they
- 16:11Speaker 4: don't add, I don't see either team making it or
- 16:13Speaker 4: having a chance at the World Series. So the trade
- 16:16Speaker 4: deadline is much needed for both of our teams, especially
- 16:18Speaker 4: I know, especially my.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Team sorright, Rob pick it up from there. What's going
- 16:22Speaker 1: on in New York Town?
- 16:24Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if it's about the same really Mets and Yankees.
- 16:27Speaker 2: What's going on the Mets? The Mets swept Los Angeles
- 16:33Speaker 2: Angels for the first time ever, so right now they're
- 16:37Speaker 2: you know, they're starting to hit a little better this series.
- 16:41Speaker 2: It looks like the Bats are starting to wake up.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Problem with the Mets the pitching staff, the relievers are
- 16:49Speaker 2: tired with all the injuries to the starting pitchers, to
- 16:53Speaker 2: the starting staff. Like a lot of teams, the bullpen
- 16:58Speaker 2: is overused and right now you could see the effects
- 17:01Speaker 2: of the Mets. So they're gonna have to make a
- 17:03Speaker 2: deal for a reliever, which Stern said that they definitely
- 17:08Speaker 2: are going to so we just have to see him
- 17:10Speaker 2: wait for the trade deadline. Like Chris said, that's what.
- 17:12Speaker 6: We're waiting for.
- 17:13Speaker 2: We're waiting for it this this week and I guess
- 17:16Speaker 2: the next.
- 17:20Speaker 6: Nope, Rosen in time sellers.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Okay, going all right, Jacob, what's going on in your town?
- 17:27Speaker 6: Well, I'll do two towns. I'm doing Atlanta here and
- 17:30Speaker 6: I'll do my old town in Quins, Illinois.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Just for the thing.
- 17:34Speaker 6: The Atlanta right now, they're gonna be selling, you know,
- 17:37Speaker 6: for the as the you know, it's main thing right now.
- 17:40Speaker 6: I'm just having a hope and a wish that the
- 17:42Speaker 6: Cubs would go get someone like either Spencer Schwellenbach or Ronalcon.
- 17:46Speaker 6: The schwellen box hurt anyway, So nothing else going on there.
- 17:50Speaker 6: They're gonna sell regardless of anything. And they're probably gonna
- 17:52Speaker 6: lose Snicker, who Brian Snicker has been with the organization
- 17:56Speaker 6: fifty years this year between minor leagues and may so
- 18:00Speaker 6: that's a we will not see that again, there's no question.
- 18:04Speaker 6: And Quincy.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Their team, they have a madad.
- 18:09Speaker 6: They're a town of about forty thousand people and they
- 18:11Speaker 6: have a semi pro team. They used to be called
- 18:15Speaker 6: the I'm gonna give you a little history here. They
- 18:18Speaker 6: used to be called the Quincy Riverman. That was Kirby
- 18:21Speaker 6: Puckett was with in nineteen eighty one. Then they were
- 18:24Speaker 6: called the Quincy Gems, which actually fits because it was
- 18:27Speaker 6: the Gem City. Now they're the Quincy Doggie Paddlers and
- 18:35Speaker 6: one of the owners is Jeff Jarrett, the wrestler, and
- 18:38Speaker 6: I have to wonder what drugs he was on the
- 18:40Speaker 6: say that that was a good name. But they're just
- 18:44Speaker 6: saying right now they've lost fourteen in a row and
- 18:46Speaker 6: they're dead last in their position. I think I think
- 18:49Speaker 6: thirteen was the games and one was picking that name,
- 18:52Speaker 6: So it's either way though. But overall, nothing too too
- 18:56Speaker 6: much going on. We just know there's a lot of
- 18:58Speaker 6: losing at the two cities that I've talked to right now.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Hi, Candy.
- 19:04Speaker 7: Well, Chris and Rob, you guys don't know. Yes, I
- 19:07Speaker 7: live in South Florida, but I'm actually originally from Wisconsin,
- 19:13Speaker 7: so I am a Brewers fan. They have the best
- 19:16Speaker 7: record in baseball right now for a small market team.
- 19:20Speaker 7: That is so awesome and awesome to hear. I just
- 19:22Speaker 7: hope they stay hot. I think they're going to be
- 19:26Speaker 7: adding it the trade deadline if they can. They could
- 19:29Speaker 7: use a good outfield, a good bat. They have some
- 19:31Speaker 7: good pitching, but they need it, you know, a good bat.
- 19:35Speaker 7: And as far as because I am a huge NFL
- 19:39Speaker 7: fan as well, I am a Green Bay Packer girl. Yes,
- 19:43Speaker 7: and they open training camp and for the first time
- 19:47Speaker 7: one of the coolest traditions I think in sports is
- 19:52Speaker 7: the Packers players ride bicycles of kids from the practice
- 19:58Speaker 7: from the training facility into the practice field and today,
- 20:02Speaker 7: for the first time I think ever, a coach rode
- 20:07Speaker 7: the bike down as well, So Matt Leffleura actually rode
- 20:10Speaker 7: the bike. So they opened training camp. I think that's
- 20:13Speaker 7: cool that they still do that tradition. So those are
- 20:18Speaker 7: my two of the things that are happening in my town.
- 20:20Speaker 7: I guess the third thing would be the Milwaukee Bucks.
- 20:23Speaker 7: They obviously we all know le Damian Lillard. They released him.
- 20:28Speaker 7: He signed with Toronto. You know, kudos to him because
- 20:32Speaker 7: that's where his family, all of his family is, that's
- 20:34Speaker 7: where his heart is. Yes. Is it a big hold
- 20:38Speaker 7: a bite for the Bucks to keep paying him, of course,
- 20:42Speaker 7: but kudos to him that he can go back home
- 20:45Speaker 7: and play where you know, in front of his family,
- 20:48Speaker 7: and even his daughter said, you mean, we don't have
- 20:51Speaker 7: to get on a flight to go back to Milwaukee
- 20:54Speaker 7: and stuff like that. And so that's as much as
- 20:57Speaker 7: I'm not happy to see him go, especially the chunk
- 21:01Speaker 7: of money that we have to pay him, I'm happy
- 21:04Speaker 7: for him as a person to be back home with
- 21:07Speaker 7: his family.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Though.
- 21:09Speaker 6: Hey, Candy, the thing you talked about the Green Bay
- 21:12Speaker 6: Packers tradition. Just to be very glad you to have
- 21:15Speaker 6: Vince Wullfark on your team. Yes, some kids might have
- 21:20Speaker 6: been very very sad if he had done that.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Okay, I'll live it my town to his topics. Number one,
- 21:31Speaker 1: let's go to Tallahassee. We're gonna go to Tallahassee because
- 21:34Speaker 1: former FSU coach Jimil Fisher is signed to join the
- 21:37Speaker 1: ACC network and he's getting paid pretty good money by
- 21:41Speaker 1: Texas A and m just to stay away. But now
- 21:43Speaker 1: we get to talk and get paid as well. Hets
- 21:45Speaker 1: to get paid by the ACC network and he getting
- 21:48Speaker 1: Texas A and m Aggie dollars. Number that's number one.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Number Two, there are new renovations over at toe Campbell
- 21:53Speaker 1: Stadium and then have produced the capacity by about twelve
- 21:57Speaker 1: thousand seeds, so approximately sixty eight thousand. The actual numbers
- 22:00Speaker 1: are the originally seventy nine, five hundred and sixty now
- 22:03Speaker 1: to sixty seventeen seventy seven. Candy and I had the
- 22:06Speaker 1: good fortune to go into dope Campbell Stadium. It's a
- 22:08Speaker 1: cool place to go. So here we get a chance
- 22:10Speaker 1: to go to dope Campbell Stadium on Tallahassee. Go ahead
- 22:13Speaker 1: and do it, so more power to them at Florida State.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Candy and I won't see him this year, but we
- 22:17Speaker 1: saw him last year and they see him the last
- 22:19Speaker 1: few years, so they're gonna do some great things at
- 22:21Speaker 1: that stadium. So hey, why not. Tallahassee is a good trip,
- 22:26Speaker 1: So Jimbo Fisher, I guess we're not done listening to
- 22:28Speaker 1: you yet, tesxas they've got a lot of money and
- 22:32Speaker 1: texted and they're paid you to talk, and don't Campbell
- 22:35Speaker 1: Stadium probably be even cushier than it already is.
- 22:39Speaker 6: Now.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Some of the drawings that I have actually seen have
- 22:41Speaker 1: been pretty good. Now we're going to talk about some
- 22:43Speaker 1: of our non sports topics tonight, and this is going
- 22:46Speaker 1: to be new for Rob and Chris. But don't worry
- 22:48Speaker 1: you guys will fit in nice because they're very general
- 22:50Speaker 1: and generic, So that's not that big of a deal.
- 22:53Speaker 1: California want Canadian tourism back and is offered twenty five
- 22:56Speaker 1: percent off of one thousand old dolls. What do you think?
- 23:00Speaker 1: Do you think that the Canadians are going to go
- 23:03Speaker 1: out there and be enticed by all of this? I
- 23:06Speaker 1: don't know.
- 23:07Speaker 4: Does does anybody want to come to our country right now?
- 23:10Speaker 4: I don't know, especially California right I'm not sure.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 23:14Speaker 4: I don't know if Canada, with everything that's gone down,
- 23:17Speaker 4: I don't know if they want to come and visit
- 23:19Speaker 4: us as much as you know they use it. And
- 23:22Speaker 4: it's twenty five percent? Is that really that big of
- 23:24Speaker 4: a you know, a deal? You know you're saving what
- 23:27Speaker 4: twenty five bucks? Maybe fifty bucks if it's a two
- 23:31Speaker 4: hundred dollars hotel room. I don't know. I don't know
- 23:33Speaker 4: if that's really enticing people to come. Has to be
- 23:36Speaker 4: more than that.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Not fair enough, see you think anywhere? Like God, don't
- 23:39Speaker 1: tell your tail sharp pizza, It's okay, it's good, all right, Katy?
- 23:43Speaker 1: What do you think about that deal? Do you take it?
- 23:46Speaker 7: You know, we down here in Florida, we see a
- 23:49Speaker 7: lot of Canadians that come down here. You're right, Chris,
- 23:53Speaker 7: at this point, with all the politic political things that
- 23:56Speaker 7: are going on in our country, is it really there's
- 24:00Speaker 7: a lot of people coming down here or not? And
- 24:03Speaker 7: it all remain to be seen. But I agree with you,
- 24:06Speaker 7: twenty five percent off a hotel is not enough to
- 24:10Speaker 7: really entice me to come down and stay for a
- 24:13Speaker 7: length of time.
- 24:15Speaker 1: All right, Jacob, Nah, just no, not really.
- 24:21Speaker 6: I mean you're right about the twenty five percent. You're
- 24:25Speaker 6: talking about the twenty five percent, and it's you got
- 24:28Speaker 6: to realize this was the one that had the It
- 24:31Speaker 6: took sixteen years that hit a high speed rail before
- 24:33Speaker 6: it was taken for itself. You know, they couldn't figure
- 24:36Speaker 6: anything out. California cannot figure out their economy. To make it,
- 24:38Speaker 6: it definitely needs to be fifty to seventy five percent.
- 24:41Speaker 6: But in truth, I don't know if Californians and Canadians
- 24:45Speaker 6: are gonna have anything in common to begin with. I
- 24:47Speaker 6: mean they could pretend to be and stuff like that,
- 24:49Speaker 6: but it'll be a lot of a a lot of
- 24:53Speaker 6: a and either yo yo, I'd be New Yorkers already, Dude,
- 24:58Speaker 6: it just be it just be a lot of the
- 25:01Speaker 6: off that it'd be a lot of awkward talk.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, Robbi've had a chance to
- 25:07Speaker 1: take this or do you take that twenty five percent
- 25:09Speaker 1: of Canada to California?
- 25:12Speaker 2: Now, I think they're sick of Mickey Mouse first of all,
- 25:14Speaker 2: you know, I don't. I don't think that twenty five
- 25:16Speaker 2: percent is going to entice them. And also the things
- 25:22Speaker 2: that they're seeing right now in La. When when they're
- 25:24Speaker 2: seeing videos of homeless people laying on the Hollywood Walk
- 25:29Speaker 2: of Fame or should I say Walk of Game and
- 25:33Speaker 2: stuff like that. You know, when you hear things about
- 25:35Speaker 2: San Francisco and what happened, what's going on in San Francisco,
- 25:39Speaker 2: you know, it's what's going to entice them. They got
- 25:43Speaker 2: to clean it up, They got to find the place
- 25:45Speaker 2: to put these people. They just have to get everything together.
- 25:49Speaker 2: If they want tourism back from Canada. Not only is
- 25:53Speaker 2: it too expensive, but when they see this stuff, why
- 25:57Speaker 2: come to California?
- 25:59Speaker 7: No?
- 25:59Speaker 1: I agree, And you know what, that's an interesting point
- 26:01Speaker 1: that you made, Rob, because I've been to La quite
- 26:03Speaker 1: a few times. That really sunk in even more so
- 26:05Speaker 1: The last time I was there, I was there for
- 26:06Speaker 1: the Southern California Sports Broadcasters meeting out there that I
- 26:09Speaker 1: had with some of my colleagues out there, And when
- 26:11Speaker 1: I saw the homeless people out there, it was really, really,
- 26:14Speaker 1: really sad. So I couldn't agree with you more. But see,
- 26:16Speaker 1: that wasn't too hard. I got an easier one, though
- 26:19Speaker 1: it's a little bit more choice than this one. Ready, guys, Miguel,
- 26:23Speaker 1: get this. The world's first space hotel is set to
- 26:26Speaker 1: launch at twenty to twenty seven with a bar, cinema,
- 26:30Speaker 1: spa more in Earth's orbit. Now, if that'd be tepting, now,
- 26:34Speaker 1: that was different than this. I don't think there'll be
- 26:37Speaker 1: any homeless people in orbit.
- 26:38Speaker 2: What do you think, Rob, Yeah, no, there won't be
- 26:41Speaker 2: any homeless people. The problem is they got to get
- 26:44Speaker 2: them up there. You know, hopefully it may be Musk, right,
- 26:49Speaker 2: let's say, see he may be the one transporting these
- 26:52Speaker 2: people up there. So let's hope that the rocket doesn't explode.
- 26:55Speaker 2: That's happened a couple of times. You know, it's enticing first,
- 26:59Speaker 2: certain and you know people who want that thrill, Yes,
- 27:03Speaker 2: enticing if it was safe and if I was younger,
- 27:05Speaker 2: I would love to do that, but you know, I
- 27:08Speaker 2: don't know if it's so safe. And I'm not as
- 27:10Speaker 2: young as I used to be.
- 27:12Speaker 1: The god. This isn't complicated stuff. Guys, you got pizza.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Pizza and Robber are a little bit worried about this
- 27:18Speaker 1: is being Harvard stuff. This isn't Harvard stuff. People that
- 27:21Speaker 1: don't don't sell yourself short. Please reallyily this guy they're
- 27:26Speaker 1: telling good. They're passing their first debt there? All right,
- 27:29Speaker 1: what do you think they're taking? Were you going up
- 27:30Speaker 1: in orbit with all this business?
- 27:33Speaker 6: No?
- 27:34Speaker 1: Imagine you're in orbit with your language? We have three
- 27:39Speaker 1: we have.
- 27:40Speaker 6: Three years left for him to call it the Trump
- 27:42Speaker 6: Hotel in space.
- 27:43Speaker 1: There, Jacob's in orbit because he thinks I came up
- 27:47Speaker 1: with a topic that was in orbit. And he's right
- 27:48Speaker 1: because he's said, oh, what is he gonna come up
- 27:50Speaker 1: with next? Don't worry, I got something.
- 27:52Speaker 6: It's just kind of crazy.
- 27:56Speaker 1: So would you go to orbit taking?
- 27:58Speaker 7: No?
- 27:59Speaker 1: Okay, what about you, Candy? We just came from Europe.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Maybe is orbit different?
- 28:04Speaker 7: Why not? Let's go for it.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Let it fi great. If there's a way to shoot
- 28:09Speaker 1: a video and for me to talk behind the microphone,
- 28:11Speaker 1: I'll do it. I'm going back to Orbit. I don't
- 28:13Speaker 1: think what do they got a bar? Cinema as fall.
- 28:16Speaker 1: I'll tell you that my sixty two year old body
- 28:18Speaker 1: can use that at cinema. I can't keep my mouth
- 28:22Speaker 1: shutting the cinema. So I got a problem with that
- 28:24Speaker 1: one and a bar as long as I got a
- 28:25Speaker 1: lot of diet coke And if you want to give
- 28:27Speaker 1: me a few, Uh, what do you call those old
- 28:30Speaker 1: strawberry Margarita's? Really loaded?
- 28:32Speaker 6: Boy?
- 28:32Speaker 1: I like the way they have them over a blackrock frozen.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Those are darn good drinks. And I it will totally
- 28:37Speaker 1: shut me up and might contain me a little bit.
- 28:39Speaker 1: But I'm gone to Orbit. What about you pizza?
- 28:42Speaker 7: Uh?
- 28:43Speaker 5: You know what, I don't want to be the first
- 28:44Speaker 5: one up there. I'll let other people go first.
- 28:46Speaker 1: All right, I'll be first and you could go second.
- 28:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll let other people test it out first.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:51Speaker 6: I'll take the seventy five percent off.
- 28:53Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know what. I'll start in California with
- 28:56Speaker 4: the twenty five percent off. I'll hang out with Jacob.
- 28:59Speaker 4: You know, we'll complain about our teams. I'll let everybody
- 29:03Speaker 4: go out for the first few months and then and
- 29:05Speaker 4: then I'll fly up there.
- 29:06Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you one thing to say about
- 29:08Speaker 1: those twenty five percent off. If you've ever been to California,
- 29:11Speaker 1: you do have to get over to Santa Monica Pier.
- 29:14Speaker 1: That's an unbelievable place. And if you want to go
- 29:16Speaker 1: to Rodeo Drive or road Dale Drive, whatever the heck
- 29:18Speaker 1: could call it, that's pretty good place out there. A
- 29:21Speaker 1: little bit of money out there. There's a great jelly
- 29:23Speaker 1: that I went. I'll never forget when I went out
- 29:25Speaker 1: there with a friend of mine and Candy was with
- 29:26Speaker 1: one of her best friends here in the area. And
- 29:28Speaker 1: I'll tell you that Delly is to dive for. I
- 29:30Speaker 1: don't remember what it is, but it was awesome stuff
- 29:33Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills. But twenty five percent don't get you
- 29:36Speaker 1: very farm Beverly Hills. I'm going to Orbit. I get
- 29:38Speaker 1: came from Europe. I'm ready. I'm roadsick if I go
- 29:41Speaker 1: to Orbit. I'm going. Some people already think I'm there. Anyways,
- 29:44Speaker 1: what's the difference. I'll tell you what. We're gonna go
- 29:47Speaker 1: to a quick station break. We're getting started. I'm gonna

- 31:30Speaker 1: Back to you, Scott, Thank you, Katie. I'm going to
- 31:33Speaker 1: start off with some words of wisdom. Then we're going
- 31:34Speaker 1: to talk about a colleague of mine that I actually
- 31:37Speaker 1: knew when I was in for Laurao. Where's a wisdom
- 31:39Speaker 1: coming from Warren Buffett? He says, you know what, it
- 31:41Speaker 1: takes twenty years to build a reputation in five minutes
- 31:44Speaker 1: to ruin it. So if you think about that, you'll
- 31:48Speaker 1: do things differently. What do you think rock you like college?
- 31:51Speaker 1: What mister Buffett has to say? Yeah, I like it.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Another thing he said which I found interesting, He said
- 31:57Speaker 2: this recently. He said, if you have a thousand dollars
- 32:01Speaker 2: to invest, you don't have to have a lot of money.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Put five hundred on Amazon and five hundred on Coca Cola.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I don't know, the man knows what he's talking about.
- 32:11Speaker 2: But isn't it a little too late for both of those?
- 32:15Speaker 2: With just five hundred dollars? How are you going to
- 32:17Speaker 2: get rich off of that?
- 32:19Speaker 1: I'll take that. What do you think, Jacob, he's.
- 32:21Speaker 6: Ninety four years old. I mean, you got to realize this.
- 32:25Speaker 6: He's he's still using an advocatest to count but I mean,
- 32:29Speaker 6: but still, but no, I mean, I love him at Warren.
- 32:32Speaker 6: But in truth though, you got to realize he was saying,
- 32:35Speaker 6: it takes twenty years to build rotation five minutes ago.
- 32:38Speaker 6: I've spent twenty years saying a bunch of things that
- 32:41Speaker 6: should get me fired in about five minutes, you know,
- 32:44Speaker 6: to kill my reputation, and I get away with it
- 32:47Speaker 6: all the time.
- 32:47Speaker 1: So that is that? What do you think, Candy?
- 32:51Speaker 7: I think you can compare also your reputation to your
- 32:54Speaker 7: credit score. You can ruin that in five minutes flat.
- 32:57Speaker 7: But it takes you twenty years to build it. So
- 33:01Speaker 7: I agree that you know, reputation takes a while, but
- 33:07Speaker 7: it doesn't take long to ruin it.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Well, I do you, Pizza?
- 33:12Speaker 4: I agree? But you know what, in certain situations, people
- 33:16Speaker 4: have a have a short term memory, right, they will
- 33:19Speaker 4: forget about whatever this person does that's not good. So
- 33:24Speaker 4: I think in certain situations, totally agree. Business wise, yes,
- 33:28Speaker 4: but we've seen in social media out there and with
- 33:32Speaker 4: the stars and everything else, a person could do something
- 33:35Speaker 4: really bad, and you know what, a few months go by,
- 33:39Speaker 4: people forget about it and they move on.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Well, tell you what, I'm gonna go to a reference
- 33:43Speaker 1: in my book. Al Campanis went on ANBC News Nightline. Right,
- 33:49Speaker 1: of course, you guys are baseball guys, aren't you. I
- 33:52Speaker 1: think particular race could manage It took him all a
- 33:57Speaker 1: few minutes with Ted Copple on ABC News Nightline, get
- 34:00Speaker 1: fired by the LA Dodgers, a team that takes civil
- 34:03Speaker 1: rights very seriously. So you talk about Warren Buffett's comments
- 34:07Speaker 1: being so true. Let's go back to Al Campanis, and
- 34:10Speaker 1: I got to know Al Campanis back to the Winter
- 34:13Speaker 1: Baseball Winner meetings, and he want really nice guy, but
- 34:15Speaker 1: unfortunately and then he made a mistake. In fact, not
- 34:18Speaker 1: not only that, since I have a couple of baseball
- 34:20Speaker 1: guys on here, I had Fred Clare on this show,
- 34:23Speaker 1: and Fred felt so bad for him, and he said, man,
- 34:25Speaker 1: I wish he wouldn't have done that. We warned him
- 34:28Speaker 1: not to do stuff like that, but all of a
- 34:29Speaker 1: sudden he did it. And you talk about career suicide,
- 34:33Speaker 1: that was definitely it. So everything mister Buffett is saying
- 34:36Speaker 1: definitely has a lot of relevance to it. So I
- 34:39Speaker 1: want to go and I want to send a few
- 34:41Speaker 1: prayers out to my colleague, an LA Times column thiss
- 34:44Speaker 1: informer around the Horn panels Bill flashed me as he is.
- 34:49Speaker 1: He reveals that he's been battling Parkinson's disease for the
- 34:52Speaker 1: last four years. We all know what we all associated
- 34:55Speaker 1: with Muhammad Ali. I've interviewed Muhammad Ali as well. Whether
- 35:00Speaker 1: you're a player or not a player, Parkinson's is not.
- 35:03Speaker 1: It stinks. I mean, Michael J. Fox is going through
- 35:06Speaker 1: it and I've had shows on it. What's your perception
- 35:09Speaker 1: of Rob about Parkinson's disease and what Bill has to
- 35:12Speaker 1: go through right now?
- 35:15Speaker 2: Didn't he cover the Dodgers's he covered the Dodgers right.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Right, and that he used to work for the Fort
- 35:21Speaker 1: Lauderdelle Sun sent so many years ago when I met him.
- 35:23Speaker 1: But yes, he moved out to the Dodgers.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Correct, Okay, yeah, well it's it's a tough thing. Look,
- 35:29Speaker 2: Ozzie Osborne has died right yesterday. Michael J.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Fox.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Parkinson's bad. My uncle had it for twenty years. He
- 35:39Speaker 2: every time you saw him, he would just shake, shake, shake,
- 35:42Speaker 2: and it just got worse. It progressed, horrible disease. Hopefully,
- 35:47Speaker 2: you know, they could.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Michael J.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Fox has been raising so much money for this, and
- 35:53Speaker 2: you know, like anything else, it takes a long time.
- 35:55Speaker 2: They got to figure out what's going on. Harrible thing.
- 35:58Speaker 6: You know.
- 35:59Speaker 2: My heart goes out to him and his family.
- 36:02Speaker 6: Well like you, Jacob, Yeah, you brought up a Hosie.
- 36:06Speaker 6: It's like one of the things is in two weeks
- 36:08Speaker 6: before he has a final concert, has to sit down
- 36:11Speaker 6: in his bathroom. You know, good for him, though, you
- 36:14Speaker 6: know what I mean, it is his world and he
- 36:17Speaker 6: and but you know something, you think about all of
- 36:20Speaker 6: this and it's like Ozzi did it the right way.
- 36:23Speaker 6: Had his final thing in front forty thousand people and
- 36:25Speaker 6: then he just kind of faded away, and and the
- 36:28Speaker 6: thing is, in truth, that's the way we all should do,
- 36:31Speaker 6: regardless of it is probably it's like and you've got
- 36:33Speaker 6: to hope that Bill Plashki, to the best of his ability,
- 36:36Speaker 6: stays active in some which way. One of the things
- 36:40Speaker 6: one of my favorite actors is Alan Alda. He got
- 36:42Speaker 6: Parkinson's about seven eight years ago and he ended up
- 36:45Speaker 6: taking boxing classes because they do boxing classes. Has been
- 36:49Speaker 6: known to do combinations like on the bag and stuff
- 36:52Speaker 6: like that and help your brain continue and it slows
- 36:54Speaker 6: down the it slows down all of the symptoms. So
- 36:57Speaker 6: it's one of those things. I hope that Flashi or
- 37:00Speaker 6: sometimes they'll do music therapy and stuff like that. I
- 37:03Speaker 6: hope they're doing those kind of deals, those kind of
- 37:05Speaker 6: therapies for them right now. And so down there it's
- 37:08Speaker 6: a hideous disease.
- 37:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is. All right. Willly joins the group
- 37:12Speaker 1: here just in time for a little nank g All right,
- 37:15Speaker 1: who we have, We got Candy and then we're gonna
- 37:16Speaker 1: put Willy on this topic and then we're good to
- 37:18Speaker 1: the rest of them. Thanks for popping in, Willie. We
- 37:20Speaker 1: appreciate you. Glad you made a big guy. All right, So,
- 37:23Speaker 1: Kendy what yourys talks about. But Bill Plashki is going through.
- 37:28Speaker 7: Tough disease. One thing I will say, and I hope
- 37:32Speaker 7: you don't mind me saying this. Scott, at one point
- 37:35Speaker 7: you were diagnosed misdiagnosed with Parkinson's, so it can be misdiagnosed.
- 37:43Speaker 7: It is not a pretty disease. It's not a pretty
- 37:46Speaker 7: disease to watch somebody have either. Not only do they struggle,
- 37:52Speaker 7: but the caregivers struggle with them. And just said, I
- 37:57Speaker 7: hope they I hope with all the money that Michael J.
- 37:59Speaker 7: Fox is raised, that they find a cure sometime soon.
- 38:05Speaker 1: And Pizza. All right, well you got some new teammates
- 38:07Speaker 1: that they got pizza and you got Rob Okay, you
- 38:10Speaker 1: gotta like Willie. He's he's a cool cat. Here's a
- 38:14Speaker 1: what do you got to say about Bill Plasky.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's it's just really sad news. And you know,
- 38:20Speaker 4: I think Jacob said it right. You know, hopefully hopefully
- 38:23Speaker 4: they try these different things with him to kind of
- 38:25Speaker 4: just slow down the progress of the disease, you know,
- 38:29Speaker 4: and he could still stay busy and what he does best,
- 38:32Speaker 4: you know, but hopefully all these you know, all these
- 38:36Speaker 4: other therapies that that.
- 38:38Speaker 5: Could that could possibly help him. Hopefully they give it
- 38:41Speaker 5: a shot, you know.
- 38:42Speaker 4: And if I'm if I'm going through that, I'm saying, hey,
- 38:45Speaker 4: I'll try anything, right, because you want to you want
- 38:47Speaker 4: to live as long as you want, you know, you
- 38:49Speaker 4: want to see your kids, your grandkids and all that.
- 38:52Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm praying for him. I'm hoping that everything
- 38:56Speaker 4: works out for him and and he could just slow
- 38:59Speaker 4: down this disease as much as possible, and and hope
- 39:02Speaker 4: with all these all these charities and everything that you mentioned, Ozzie.
- 39:05Speaker 4: Ozzie raised over two hundred million dollars with that concert
- 39:08Speaker 4: a few weeks ago. So I mean he went out
- 39:10Speaker 4: on top. If if if there's a way to go
- 39:12Speaker 4: out on top, that's the way to go out, you know,
- 39:15Speaker 4: doing what you love best and raising over two hundred
- 39:17Speaker 4: million dollars for charity. So so yeah, let's just just
- 39:21Speaker 4: hope and pray the best for him.
- 39:23Speaker 1: All right, Great, Jo Willie, what we're gonna do We're
- 39:24Speaker 1: gonnalet you talk about plastic. I'm gonna give you a
- 39:26Speaker 1: couple of other things that you can catch up on
- 39:28Speaker 1: as well. And then we got and I saved a
- 39:30Speaker 1: lot of the other stuff when you got on here.
- 39:32Speaker 1: So the time he couldn't have been any better for
- 39:34Speaker 1: you to get in here, which is raised stuff. Okay,
- 39:36Speaker 1: First of all, what are you talking about what Bill
- 39:37Speaker 1: Plaski is going through with Parkinson's.
- 39:40Speaker 8: Well, first of all, thank you again for whoa what's
- 39:44Speaker 8: going on here?
- 39:45Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 39:47Speaker 8: Uh oh, I don't think guys.
- 39:49Speaker 1: That's right. I'm not that smart enough to figure that
- 39:51Speaker 1: stuff out. Don't ask you that stuff.
- 39:53Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, I can't even hear all right, I'll
- 39:56Speaker 8: hear you.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Yeah, we hear you.
- 39:57Speaker 8: Good, you can hear me. Good, Okay, yeah, get in Yeah.
- 40:01Speaker 9: First of all, thank you guys for having me back again.
- 40:04Speaker 9: And uh, sorry for my tardiness. I had to try
- 40:07Speaker 9: to get one of my teammates squared away. But anyway,
- 40:11Speaker 9: Parkinson's disease, we've seen it just wrecked the lives of
- 40:15Speaker 9: so many great, great athletes, great people.
- 40:20Speaker 8: I know there's there's not really a quote unquote cure
- 40:24Speaker 8: for it, but I agree with.
- 40:26Speaker 9: Everybody on the panel in terms of the medical advancements,
- 40:32Speaker 9: in terms of research that have been made.
- 40:34Speaker 8: Hopefully and prayer fully for.
- 40:37Speaker 9: Mister mister Bill and his family that they can slow
- 40:41Speaker 9: it down as much as possible and he can continue
- 40:44Speaker 9: to lead at least somewhat of.
- 40:46Speaker 8: A long life, long healthy life. You talk about Michael J. Fox,
- 40:52Speaker 8: and most.
- 40:52Speaker 9: Recently before that, before Ozzy Osborne, of course was Dave
- 40:57Speaker 9: Parker who who also died it. So it's just us
- 41:03Speaker 9: we're losing. We're losing people to this dreaded disease, and
- 41:08Speaker 9: hopefully he'll be the one that can somehow crack the
- 41:12Speaker 9: code and live a sustained life.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Yeah, Barry Melrose of the National Hockey League also got
- 41:18Speaker 1: it too bad because I like watching Barry on the NHL.
- 41:21Speaker 1: I will we'll bring up to pet on a couple
- 41:22Speaker 1: of other ones. It's the words of wisdom from Warren Buffett.
- 41:26Speaker 1: It says it takes twenty years to build a reputation
- 41:27Speaker 1: in five minutes. Saruna, If you think about that, you know,
- 41:31Speaker 1: do things differently. What do you think about what mister
- 41:33Speaker 1: Buffett has to say.
- 41:34Speaker 9: Well, it's kind of hard not to listen to somebody else,
- 41:37Speaker 9: a multi multi billionaire, you know, right, He's exactly right,
- 41:42Speaker 9: And I'm pretty sure that that has come from some
- 41:45Speaker 9: people that have burned him along the way. At this
- 41:49Speaker 9: point in his life, I'm pretty sure he really doesn't care.
- 41:53Speaker 9: But yeah, it was also Warren Buffett that said the
- 41:56Speaker 9: way that wealth is not by one hundred percent of
- 41:59Speaker 9: your own effort, by one percent of ninety nine other
- 42:01Speaker 9: people's efforts, and that's how you get wealthy.
- 42:03Speaker 8: So that that guy has that guy has uh as
- 42:09Speaker 8: barbs for days.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Okay, you know what you're gonna like these non sports
- 42:14Speaker 1: topics because these guys all ate them up alive, all right,
- 42:16Speaker 1: so we'll see what you think about them, willing all right?
- 42:19Speaker 1: California wants Canadian tourism back and is offered twenty five
- 42:23Speaker 1: percent off a one thousand hotels. What do you think
- 42:25Speaker 1: about that? Do you want to the Canadians really want
- 42:27Speaker 1: to go to California?
- 42:28Speaker 8: Wait a minute, say it again. I didn't hear it.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people wouldn't want to hear this one,
- 42:33Speaker 1: but that's okay. California wants Canadian tourism back and is
- 42:36Speaker 1: offered twenty five percent off at one thousand hotels. Would
- 42:39Speaker 1: you take that deal?
- 42:41Speaker 4: Heck, yeah you would?
- 42:43Speaker 1: Okay, I mean twenty five percent off at one thousand hotels.
- 42:49Speaker 9: At one thousand hotels, now, I guess it kind of
- 42:51Speaker 9: depends on which hotel it is, because it is Best
- 42:53Speaker 9: Western or Super.
- 42:56Speaker 8: Eight or he kind of lodge, then no pass.
- 43:00Speaker 9: But if we're talking at least a three to four
- 43:05Speaker 9: star type of facility, heck yeah, why not?
- 43:08Speaker 1: Okay? Okay, Canada? According to Willie, all right, next one,
- 43:12Speaker 1: I got it one even better? Okay, And I didn't
- 43:15Speaker 1: have to have canteen to dream from this one up,
- 43:17Speaker 1: the world's first space hotel is set to launch at
- 43:20Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, with a bar, cinema, spa, and more
- 43:24Speaker 1: and Earth's arm it. What do you think of that?
- 43:26Speaker 1: Will you want to go to the army?
- 43:27Speaker 4: You want to go?
- 43:28Speaker 1: You want to go in one of those space hotels?
- 43:34Speaker 8: M No, I think I'm the past.
- 43:38Speaker 6: Think of the views, traffic up there, A lot.
- 43:43Speaker 8: Of great views in my time. I don't know if
- 43:47Speaker 8: my heart is ready for something like that.
- 43:50Speaker 1: All right, last thing, I'm gonna do that. Then we're
- 43:52Speaker 1: gonna get to the red the other topics here? All right?
- 43:54Speaker 1: My town? What's going on here? Town? Will it?
- 43:57Speaker 8: My town? Okay?
- 43:58Speaker 9: So I was around my little town of Fate, Texas
- 44:03Speaker 9: earlier today. And Fate, Texas is in Rockwall County, which
- 44:08Speaker 9: is about forty five minutes northeast of Dallas. So I
- 44:12Speaker 9: was riding around and discovered that we are getting our
- 44:16Speaker 9: very first high school.
- 44:17Speaker 8: Built on the north end of town.
- 44:20Speaker 9: So my entrepreneurial spirit got the thinking, you know what,
- 44:26Speaker 9: I'm going to contact the city hall and see when
- 44:28Speaker 9: this school is going to be finished. And then the
- 44:31Speaker 9: city hall sent me to the school district. Now, even
- 44:33Speaker 9: though the town is Fate and the county is Rockwall,
- 44:37Speaker 9: the school district is Roy City, which is up the
- 44:39Speaker 9: road about three exits.
- 44:41Speaker 8: So they pointed me to them.
- 44:43Speaker 9: And what I did, or what my inclination is in
- 44:47Speaker 9: my manifestation hope will be that I can get some
- 44:53Speaker 9: some members of my team and we can begin to
- 44:56Speaker 9: cover the athletics at this brand new high school that's
- 44:59Speaker 9: coming to our town.
- 45:02Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Title of the show says,
- 45:05Speaker 1: Matt Ryan Hall of Fame. Were they, well, does Matt
- 45:08Speaker 1: Ryan deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? Well, wait,
- 45:10Speaker 1: what do you think does he deserve to be in
- 45:11Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? To a good job at CBS,
- 45:13Speaker 1: and now we're talking Hall of Fame.
- 45:16Speaker 8: I'm gonna say I'm gonna say no.
- 45:19Speaker 9: I'm gonna say no, because it is the Hall of Fame,
- 45:24Speaker 9: not the Hall of real good, not the Hall.
- 45:27Speaker 8: Of good Enough.
- 45:28Speaker 9: He's got he's got stellar numbers, He's got a few
- 45:32Speaker 9: Pro Bowl appearances. I think that even though he wasn't
- 45:37Speaker 9: the reason why he was the quarterback and twenty eight
- 45:41Speaker 9: to three will leave a forever staying on his resume.
- 45:47Speaker 9: So I don't think he gets in. That's not to
- 45:50Speaker 9: say I don't want him to, because I actually like
- 45:52Speaker 9: Matt Ryan as a player. I loved when he was
- 45:55Speaker 9: the number one overall pick coming out of Boston College.
- 45:58Speaker 9: Those Atlanta, those Atlanta, those Atlanta Falcon teams, some of them,
- 46:03Speaker 9: some of them were really good. Some people will say
- 46:05Speaker 9: that he may have even he may have underperformed with
- 46:09Speaker 9: the lights of Roddy White and Julio Jones and Harry
- 46:11Speaker 9: Douglass and all the rest of those guys. Michael de Burner, Turner. Uh,
- 46:15Speaker 9: even Devontae Smith for or Devonte Uh. What was Devonte's
- 46:18Speaker 9: last name?
- 46:19Speaker 8: A running back? I forgot his name. He went to
- 46:21Speaker 8: Florida State.
- 46:23Speaker 9: Vont Freeman. Yeah, Davonte Freeman. Some may even say that
- 46:26Speaker 9: he underachieved with all that talent, but I don't think
- 46:30Speaker 9: that he gets seen just based on those things. But
- 46:33Speaker 9: I'm hoping that he does.
- 46:35Speaker 6: Didn't he get work, didn't he have worked done for
- 46:36Speaker 6: the law?
- 46:37Speaker 8: He did have work done as well.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Ye, well, that's a good segue. Let's go over to you,
- 46:42Speaker 1: Jacob your arn neckelaw Woods. Anyways, not I think he.
- 46:47Speaker 6: Makes it, but not first to ballot, maybe a couple
- 46:49Speaker 6: of ballots up, maybe deadline. Every once in a blue moon,
- 46:53Speaker 6: a Hall of Fame will run into a situation where
- 46:56Speaker 6: they don't have the Meggas stars. What if he's beginning,
- 47:00Speaker 6: if he's in a megastar based year, he's not gonna
- 47:03Speaker 6: make it. They're just not gonna take it over again,
- 47:05Speaker 6: especially with that they brought up the Super Bowl thing.
- 47:08Speaker 6: He's had the absolutely stellar numbers that he's brought up.
- 47:11Speaker 6: He is a really good quarterback, but he's been pretty
- 47:16Speaker 6: shoddy in the playoffs where it matters. So I think
- 47:23Speaker 6: somewhere down the line, near the end of the Veterans deal,
- 47:27Speaker 6: near the end of his original ballot, I think he
- 47:32Speaker 6: makes it, but it'll be like fourth or fifth ballot.
- 47:34Speaker 6: Somewhere along the line. I just I think they're just
- 47:37Speaker 6: gonna do it when they need someone that's gonna probably
- 47:39Speaker 6: be the main event of the show and gonna be him.
- 47:44Speaker 1: Absolute boys, what do you think, Ron?
- 47:47Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 47:47Speaker 2: See, I was gonna say a direct no, because listen,
- 47:51Speaker 2: we know how important the super Bowl is to get
- 47:54Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame. One super Bowl and they
- 47:58Speaker 2: blow that lead. I can't get over that lead, all right,
- 48:01Speaker 2: twenty eight to three, and then they lose the game.
- 48:04Speaker 1: So I you know, he's on the line.
- 48:07Speaker 2: He's one of the he's one of those quarterbacks that
- 48:09Speaker 2: are on the line that could go either way. But
- 48:12Speaker 2: listening to Jacob, you know that that makes sense. Maybe
- 48:15Speaker 2: he goes in a year where there's there aren't big names.
- 48:19Speaker 2: Somebody's got to go in. I think that's his best shot.
- 48:22Speaker 2: But you know it's not gonna be for a while,
- 48:25Speaker 2: and not enough. You know, he's just not a great quarterback. Yes,
- 48:30Speaker 2: I liked him, but that's that Super Bowl is a
- 48:33Speaker 2: big stain.
- 48:34Speaker 1: On his career. All right, Candy, what do you think?
- 48:39Speaker 7: He played fifteen years? In twenty sixteen, he was voted
- 48:45Speaker 7: NFL Most Valuable Player. Just because you didn't win the
- 48:52Speaker 7: Super Bowl means you're not gonna get into the I
- 48:55Speaker 7: have a hard time with that. He also is ranks
- 49:01Speaker 7: in the league's all time top ten in past attempts,
- 49:05Speaker 7: pass completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. And you're gonna
- 49:11Speaker 7: tell me that someone that ranks in all four of
- 49:14Speaker 7: those categories in the top ten, you're not gonna put
- 49:16Speaker 7: him in the Hall of Fame just because he hasn't
- 49:19Speaker 7: won a Super Bowl. I don't know, not me, I'd
- 49:22Speaker 7: put him in.
- 49:24Speaker 1: What about you? Pizza Pizza man necessarily stands out. You know,
- 49:28Speaker 1: I bring a guy on here. He's got the best
- 49:30Speaker 1: name on the planet, I swear to God. Do they
- 49:33Speaker 1: call him pizza a lot of times on the air too?
- 49:35Speaker 6: No?
- 49:36Speaker 4: No, but they will now, Yeah, I think, guy, I think.
- 49:45Speaker 1: I have a pizza on the air. And now every
- 49:47Speaker 1: time I Getza get this here, hold on, every time
- 49:50Speaker 1: I get Joshua thor And and I get cyber rusk
- 49:53Speaker 1: ot here, what do you have for dinner? I got
- 49:55Speaker 1: pizza here, Shut up and get out of here. Stick
- 49:57Speaker 1: the man. I got a pizza on here. What a luxury?
- 50:01Speaker 6: You know what?
- 50:02Speaker 4: Yeah, he's one of those borderline guys, But Candy brought
- 50:05Speaker 4: it up. I mean, this guy's a top ten in
- 50:07Speaker 4: all the stats, right, touchdowns, yards, pass attempts, all of that.
- 50:12Speaker 4: But you could also flip that on the other side too.
- 50:14Speaker 4: It's it's a different league now, right, It's a passing league,
- 50:17Speaker 4: so guys are going to rack up those kind of yards.
- 50:19Speaker 4: But he still did it right. He's still I think
- 50:23Speaker 4: eighth in yards, eighth and touchdowns and not to me,
- 50:26Speaker 4: he sells a lot. He's an MVP former Rookie of
- 50:28Speaker 4: the Year too.
- 50:28Speaker 1: I believe.
- 50:31Speaker 5: Pro Bowl four times ap one year, I think, and
- 50:35Speaker 5: I think Jacob said it right.
- 50:37Speaker 4: He's not gonna get first ballot, no, but I think
- 50:40Speaker 4: eventually down the line he's gonna get in. On one
- 50:43Speaker 4: of the ballots that are kind of thin, He's gonna
- 50:45Speaker 4: get in, just like the the baseball ballot this coming
- 50:48Speaker 4: year next year is super thin. So whoever was borderline
- 50:52Speaker 4: is probably gonna get pushed in.
- 50:54Speaker 5: But yeah, I think eventually he gets in.
- 50:56Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, Pizza, It really doesn't wropt.
- 51:01Speaker 1: I think we're onto something, Rob. What do you think
- 51:02Speaker 1: one man, Hey, Yilsten, if he can't go into country
- 51:04Speaker 1: club tomorrow, I think you should go on tomorrow. What
- 51:06Speaker 1: do you think Rob with Candy. I'm just saying, but
- 51:10Speaker 1: here's what I think. Number One, Matt Ryan inherited a
- 51:13Speaker 1: complete mess when he had to go behind Michael Vick
- 51:15Speaker 1: and all the PR that went behind the dog fighting.
- 51:19Speaker 1: So you had an image clean up in Atlanta, and
- 51:23Speaker 1: everybody knows that he came from Boston College and we
- 51:26Speaker 1: know that Doug Blooty came from there, and Matt Ryan
- 51:29Speaker 1: did a pretty good job cleaning up that PR mess
- 51:31Speaker 1: that was Michael Vick. Number two, Nor was the time
- 51:34Speaker 1: when everybody thought that Dan Marino's record wouldn't be broken,
- 51:37Speaker 1: and how many people have passed it to different age.
- 51:40Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Matt Ryan should go in. Timing
- 51:43Speaker 1: will depend on who comes out in any given year,
- 51:46Speaker 1: because I know, having been to a few Super Bowls myself,
- 51:49Speaker 1: how they're voting works new vent for my guy one year,
- 51:52Speaker 1: I'll vote for years that It depends on how everything
- 51:54Speaker 1: is all juggled around. So I'm going to give Matt
- 51:57Speaker 1: Ryan an affirmative. I guess it was a tough Super
- 51:59Speaker 1: Bowl by You're only losing to Tom Brady. My God,
- 52:02Speaker 1: can't hold that against him, right, how many other people
- 52:04Speaker 1: watching Tom Brady Sick, Thilller really Thursday, really, and I
- 52:09Speaker 1: haven't had that much caffeine. Tonight. I had a hockey guy,
- 52:13Speaker 1: a general manager from New York. Okay, Neil Smith. Okay,
- 52:18Speaker 1: remember have you never heard Neil Smith? Willie? Okay? All
- 52:21Speaker 1: he did was the nineteen ninety four Sanley Cup Championship.
- 52:25Speaker 1: He's on the big show earlier and now we're talking
- 52:27Speaker 1: about I had that much caffeine and he thought he
- 52:30Speaker 1: had a good time. Well why am I saying all this?
- 52:33Speaker 1: It's fun having you guys around his fun. But bottom
- 52:35Speaker 1: line is I still think Michael Vick doesn't get in
- 52:38Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. But the guy that does get
- 52:40Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame is Matt Ryan, who went
- 52:42Speaker 1: behind Michael Vick. And by the way, Tony Dungee had
- 52:45Speaker 1: a lot to do with getting Michael Vick on the
- 52:47Speaker 1: right track.
- 52:47Speaker 6: I can I ask you a question about Neil Smith.
- 52:50Speaker 6: Is he like Al Bundy? He brings up the ninety
- 52:52Speaker 6: four of Stanley cub Like Albany, he brought four touchdowns
- 52:55Speaker 6: of the game.
- 52:56Speaker 1: I'm sorry it was that question again, Jack said.
- 52:58Speaker 6: I said, is NEI Neils s be like Al Bundy
- 53:01Speaker 6: like you bring up the ninety four Stanley Cup, like
- 53:03Speaker 6: Al Bundy brings up four touchdowns.
- 53:05Speaker 1: And yeah, that never came up in conversation. But he's
- 53:08Speaker 1: such a good guy. I went into some of my
- 53:10Speaker 1: hey for tomorrow because he was answering so many great
- 53:12Speaker 1: questions and I ended up going to my show for
- 53:14Speaker 1: tomorrow for for Trand So this guy is great.
- 53:18Speaker 6: I'm glad you had a good one.
- 53:19Speaker 1: Oh it was fantastic. Neil Smith's grade and averly is.
- 53:23Speaker 1: I mean, he was the architect of that ninety four
- 53:25Speaker 1: out Rangers championship. He really did an unbelievable and he
- 53:29Speaker 1: won with Mike Keenan that he give him a double
- 53:33Speaker 1: gold medal right there. That Keenan didn't last very long,
- 53:36Speaker 1: but he got it right with him. And I'll tell
- 53:38Speaker 1: you what a good show to lead in was right
- 53:41Speaker 1: with a Stanley Cup champion. Now, I got you, guys,
- 53:43Speaker 1: I got I got a Fonso and the Rob on
- 53:46Speaker 1: the show to go along with the rest of his group.
- 53:48Speaker 6: Great stuff, Mike Keenan, the Andy Sipplewitz of the hockey.
- 53:54Speaker 1: So yeah, so Willie, you're getting all this. I hope
- 53:57Speaker 1: you are anyway, So I don't know if he is,
- 53:59Speaker 1: he isn't. If he isn't, well, do the best you can.
- 54:02Speaker 1: I don't know. So is it a down and out
- 54:04Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills? Will he or you want to try
- 54:07Speaker 1: to come back in? I don't know. Katy, go ahead

- 54:15Speaker 1: all due respect, I'm going to give Randy thumbs up
- 54:18Speaker 1: and see if he wants to come in. So we'll
- 54:20Speaker 1: go ahead and figure this thing out here. And you
- 54:23Speaker 1: know what, let's go ahead and do another station break, Candy,
- 54:27Speaker 1: Well you do that.

- 55:57Speaker 6: Up.
- 55:57Speaker 1: These guys will help anyway. Two time also our teens
- 56:00Speaker 1: thirty five and ounces of retirement from MLB after twelve season.
- 56:03Speaker 1: He retires with to anyone average with fifteen hundred and
- 56:07Speaker 1: forty five hundred ten or home runs five hundred and
- 56:10Speaker 1: thirteen RBI two hundred, leven Stone and Basos who played
- 56:13Speaker 1: with the Angels or Brewers and Diamondbacks, the Mariners, affilies
- 56:16Speaker 1: of the Marlins. Okay, Rob, what are your talks about
- 56:19Speaker 1: James Sagura.
- 56:20Speaker 2: Well, he had that great postseason in twenty twenty two
- 56:26Speaker 2: right with the Phillies, which really put that that defined
- 56:33Speaker 2: I think that defined him really, But he also led
- 56:37Speaker 2: the National League and hits in twenty sixteen with two
- 56:40Speaker 2: hundred and three. You know, a good player, not great player, journeyman,
- 56:46Speaker 2: you could say, listen he I I what he did
- 56:52Speaker 2: against the card He did he did against the Cardinals
- 56:55Speaker 2: in the postseason, if I remember it was, I think
- 56:58Speaker 2: it was in the UH Wildcard Series on top of
- 57:02Speaker 2: the ninth he he got the single that that won
- 57:05Speaker 2: the game for the Phillies. So he had a good postseason.
- 57:09Speaker 2: I wasn't happy about it, being a met fan, you
- 57:12Speaker 2: know that was and we don't want to talk about
- 57:16Speaker 2: the Phillies or the Philly fans right now, but you know,
- 57:19Speaker 2: a good ball player, not great, of course, not Hall
- 57:22Speaker 2: of Fame worthy, but a decent he you know, he
- 57:26Speaker 2: had fifteen hundred hits, right, he had over fifteen hundred hits.
- 57:29Speaker 1: I mean he was very, very good, but he wasn't greete.
- 57:34Speaker 1: So Rob, is that a nine ninety five thing, is
- 57:36Speaker 1: what you're trying to tell me? Yeah, I know, don't worry.
- 57:41Speaker 1: We're on the other end of the ninety five way way,
- 57:44Speaker 1: so that I'm thinking that drive all right, Candy, you
- 57:47Speaker 1: gotta taste of cigarl? What do you think about Gino Cigar?
- 57:53Speaker 1: I gave you the stance this time. Now you got
- 57:55Speaker 1: to give me an opinion. He thanks.
- 58:02Speaker 7: Do I think he's Hall of Fame where they know
- 58:04Speaker 7: Was he a good player?
- 58:05Speaker 3: Yes?
- 58:06Speaker 7: Was he good to have on the Was he a
- 58:07Speaker 7: good team player?
- 58:08Speaker 6: Yes?
- 58:10Speaker 7: One of the things his walk percentage of four percent
- 58:13Speaker 7: was tied for the sixth lowest in Major League Baseball.
- 58:19Speaker 4: You know, he had.
- 58:24Speaker 7: He had a way about him of he was fast.
- 58:27Speaker 7: He would he would steal. I think he had a
- 58:30Speaker 7: lot of steals if I remember correctly. In his career too.
- 58:35Speaker 7: He had longevity too. That makes a difference these days.
- 58:39Speaker 7: He was actually born in nineteen ninety in the Dominican
- 58:44Speaker 7: He actually won, not in America. But when he kind
- 58:51Speaker 7: of looked for the stat because I had it just
- 58:52Speaker 7: a minute ago. He actually won a batting title when
- 58:57Speaker 7: he played overseas. So but do I think he's Hall
- 59:02Speaker 7: of fame where they know? But he was a good
- 59:04Speaker 7: a good player.
- 59:05Speaker 1: All right, Pizza, what do you think?
- 59:08Speaker 4: Yeah, not a Hall of fame, but you know, nice,
- 59:10Speaker 4: solid career. You know what, you last twelve years in
- 59:13Speaker 4: the major leagues. That's something I don't care if you
- 59:15Speaker 4: were an All Star or not. You know, this guy
- 59:18Speaker 4: two time All Star, like Rob said, he led the
- 59:21Speaker 4: league in hits one year. He had a good the
- 59:24Speaker 4: postseason that he had with the Phillies when they made
- 59:26Speaker 4: it to the World Series that year.
- 59:28Speaker 5: That was the only time he ever played in the
- 59:30Speaker 5: postseason as well in his entire career. So that's saying
- 59:33Speaker 5: something as well.
- 59:35Speaker 4: But yeah, he was a it was a you know,
- 59:37Speaker 4: good player. I'm not even gonna say very good. He
- 59:39Speaker 4: was just a good, solid player, you know, good teammate.
- 59:43Speaker 1: He played.
- 59:44Speaker 4: He played a lot. He didn't didn't miss many games.
- 59:48Speaker 4: From twenty thirteen to twenty twenty twenty one, the guy
- 59:52Speaker 4: played at least one hundred and twenty five games, which
- 59:55Speaker 4: saying a lot, especially now we see a lot of
- 59:56Speaker 4: these guys they miss, you know, games, for you know,
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: you a bleak injury or something whatever it is. Yeah,
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: hang now whatever a cough? So but yeah, I mean
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: the guy, the guy. The guy showed up and played good,
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: solid player, played a couple of physicians. Guy you want
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: on your team?
- 1:00:16Speaker 9: Right?
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: So? But nothing, you know, like I said, a twelve
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: year career is nothing to be ashamed about, no matter what.
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: I don't care how good of bad you were. Twelve
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: years in the majors. Good for him, nice career.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: Can you got a fan out there at Fernando.
- 1:00:32Speaker 6: President?
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: You appreciate you? All?
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: What do you think about jeans the girl?
- 1:00:41Speaker 6: You know these we all I can tell you all
- 1:00:45Speaker 6: of this. Every single one of us grew up in
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: a bygone era of baseball and jeans the girl is
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: basically the last of it. It's the journeyman, utility, the
- 1:00:55Speaker 6: knife player, just being honest as much as they had
- 1:01:00Speaker 6: money roles. This is not a Hall of Famer fifteen
- 1:01:02Speaker 6: hundred hits everything. Get a billion things to help the team,
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: that helps team chemistry. This is where I talk about.
- 1:01:11Speaker 6: This is where I talk about, like on specific shows
- 1:01:14Speaker 6: all the time, that what analytics will miss out of
- 1:01:18Speaker 6: everything we all go. I mean it's like whether it's
- 1:01:21Speaker 6: like the batting, whether you know, they all want to
- 1:01:23Speaker 6: they all want to try to go for the big
- 1:01:25Speaker 6: pop home run, they want to do everything. Everyone wants
- 1:01:27Speaker 6: to simplify and do everything. We miss the point of
- 1:01:33Speaker 6: we need the role player like that. We need these
- 1:01:36Speaker 6: on the team to be able to help the chemistry.
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: Not everybody has to be a Hall of Famer. This
- 1:01:40Speaker 6: is not Earl Weaver baseball from the day, This is
- 1:01:43Speaker 6: not MLB two K twenty five. This isn't anything where
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: you make your own team. You need the variety of people.
- 1:01:50Speaker 6: And in the time that we have right now, as
- 1:01:52Speaker 6: the time goes on, we're not gonna have to make
- 1:01:54Speaker 6: geants of girls anymore. So you know it's by time
- 1:01:58Speaker 6: we don't have to have a Hall of famerrole And
- 1:02:00Speaker 6: it's like you need just somebody that can help the
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: team and get the chemistry, help out in the locker
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: room with the young guys. And he was able to
- 1:02:07Speaker 6: do that. That's a twelve year career. The average in
- 1:02:11Speaker 6: the average amount of time in a major leagues in
- 1:02:15Speaker 6: the NFL and the NBA is like three years, so
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: that's four times more. So congratulations to him and he'll
- 1:02:21Speaker 6: probably go be a coach.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Now, you know, That's what I was just gonna say.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: You know what, I'm going to pick up where you're at. Okay, Jacob,
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: great career, nothing to be ashamed of, made a fair
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: amount of money, very professional, and I think he is
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: not done with baseball. He'll be a baseball lifer and
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: he will be a coach. How many Latin coaches are
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: there to begin with? They're coaching Jeans, the girl will
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: be the next one. What a career this guy has had,
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: for sure, some more power to him. Sometimes players have
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: to know when to get out at the right time.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: Jean felt it was just time to get out the
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: right time. But we have not the last two teams
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: a girl. All right. With that said, let's continue on baseball.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: The Houston Astros now have seventeen players on the injured list.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: The latest it was Lance mcculler's junior you get a
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: right finger blister cause for concerned? How active are they
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: going to be at the deadline? Rob the Astros?
- 1:03:08Speaker 6: That is?
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: I think the Astros is going to make some moves
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: they have to. I think, like we said before, I
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: still got to give it a week or two to
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: see who's gonna be really active and who's gonna be buyers,
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: who's gonna be sellers. You know, I still have to
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: see about another week or or so of baseball to
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: really let you know. But you know, the Astros always
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: seem to make a move or two, so you know
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: I wouldn't count them out without without being buyers. But
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: I still need a week or two.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think, Jacob.
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: We're gonna see. I mean, just the fact that they
- 1:03:54Speaker 6: have seventeen injuries and they're still in a buying mode
- 1:03:57Speaker 6: tells you how good they are with this, you know
- 1:03:59Speaker 6: what I mean. And we lost to Rob for a second,
- 1:04:02Speaker 6: but I'm sure we'll get him back too. But the
- 1:04:05Speaker 6: but I mean, you get all of this, You get
- 1:04:07Speaker 6: all this, and I mean, that's that's wonderful that they're
- 1:04:10Speaker 6: even in the buyer's thing, knowing how many issues. And
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: that's the point I make with teams. It's everything can
- 1:04:16Speaker 6: happen and things to cave in. And it's that that
- 1:04:18Speaker 6: I'm bringing up in the Pundit's Pundits segment. It's those
- 1:04:22Speaker 6: type of teams when everything starts to cave are you
- 1:04:26Speaker 6: thinking for yourself or are you getting everything, And this
- 1:04:28Speaker 6: is Houston's giving me my example there for a second,
- 1:04:32Speaker 6: Houston is actually building the example. It's like, if everything's
- 1:04:35Speaker 6: caving in, they're still winning.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Well, here's what I'm going to give
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: you my take on this before I turn over to Candy.
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: Number one. Well, let's talk about the Pittsburgh Pirates. Earlier
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: in the week, they were a game under five hundred
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: in their history the time they won. Three year old
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: gets the Detroit Tigers, who are dealing with some injury
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: issues themselves. We'll see what happens with them as the
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: trade deadline, but I think Houston's gon to make a
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: move or two before Chul said and done. But I
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: give them a lot of credit. They're still playing good
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: baseball despite the fact that they have a mashing it
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: out on the field. More power to them, But the
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: Tigers have some work to do. The Pirates are an
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: absolute embarrassment, is what they are, and we'll end up
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: seeing what's going on there. So I like the Houston Astros.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: I really always have. They fought the Tigers beat them
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: last year, but it'll be interesting to see if they
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: make a move or two as well. Then Pirates well,
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: all right, so you got three games, Jacobs prediction of
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: Bob Nutting being the worst owner will come to fruition.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: We'll just have to dwell on it next week, all right, Katy.
- 1:05:36Speaker 6: They already had that.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I know exactly, and I use it on the
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Baseball Show on Monday night. So great self, Jacob, your
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: fuel to broadcast. I appreciate your pout. All right, Candy,
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 1:05:47Speaker 7: So the Astros have a six game lead over Seattle
- 1:05:53Speaker 7: in the Al West. Even if they're as injury prone
- 1:05:57Speaker 7: as they have been, they're still find away. To be
- 1:06:02Speaker 7: honest with you, it's kind of surprising, and I didn't
- 1:06:05Speaker 7: really look at it until now, but there is how
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: many teams that are so close together at the top.
- 1:06:13Speaker 7: If you think about it, the Toronto Blue Jays are
- 1:06:16Speaker 7: sixty and forty two, The Tigers are sixty and forty three.
- 1:06:20Speaker 7: The Astros are sixty and forty two. In the National League,
- 1:06:25Speaker 7: you have the Cubs at sixty and forty two. Yeah,
- 1:06:27Speaker 7: the Brewers are sixty one and forty one. The Dodgers
- 1:06:30Speaker 7: are sixty and forty three. So I don't know that
- 1:06:33Speaker 7: I've ever seen so many teams that are at the
- 1:06:36Speaker 7: top that are right there, that are so close. Normally
- 1:06:40Speaker 7: you have one team that's really like hitting it out
- 1:06:42Speaker 7: of the ballpark and ahead of everybody, and you don't
- 1:06:47Speaker 7: have that. Even with all the injuries, they're still making
- 1:06:51Speaker 7: it work. So kudos to them. Will they be I'm
- 1:06:57Speaker 7: guessing they'll be buyers. I'm guessing they're gonna find it,
- 1:07:00Speaker 7: you know, help with some of that injury injuries that
- 1:07:04Speaker 7: they have out there. But they're sitting pretty They're sitting
- 1:07:08Speaker 7: pretty good right now.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: I'd say, all right, Pizza's got the last word on
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: this one. They have bad eyesight tonight, because I'll tell
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: you what, David Copperfields entered the building, I think, so yeah, okay,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: but Pizza is still in the building going and give
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: me your take.
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: I think what Candy said is perfect, you know. I mean,
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: they got a six game lead.
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: They're playing for the number one seed overall in the
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: American League, so yeah, they're definitely not selling. If they
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: were doing bad. Yeah, I think framber Valdez might have
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: been sold because he's going into his free agency year.
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: But now, I mean, you know, you're playing for the
- 1:07:46Speaker 4: number one seed, so yeah, I would assume they're going
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: to go for it. The pitching looks really good, maybe
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: they add a bat to that lineup. You know, the
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: problem right now in baseball is there's not many sellers,
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: you know, that are out there, so you know, everybody's
- 1:08:02Speaker 4: kind of waiting. They're waiting for these chips to fall,
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: for like say Arizona to decide, all right, we're going
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: to sell because they got some good ships to sell.
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: You know, teams like the Twins, teams like the Royals.
- 1:08:13Speaker 4: There's teams out there that are not really ready to
- 1:08:16Speaker 4: sell yet. But you know we'll getting to that point
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: because next week is the trade deadline, right so this
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: weekend you might see teams start to put up the
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: white flag and say, all right, we're going to start selling.
- 1:08:26Speaker 4: But the Astros are not gonna be one. I would
- 1:08:28Speaker 4: say they're going to look to add a piece or
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: two for sure.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: Our final topic of the night before we go to
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: our party shots. We'll see if Rob gets on, but
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: we're still going to proceed with it. Will He's going
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: to get it next week. He's still having some technical issues.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: No big deal to a basketball topic, but a good one,
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people can relate to it.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: This guy actually coaching New York Tips at one point too. Then,
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: on June twenty, eighth Hall of Fame inductee and head
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: coach of the nineteighteen seventy nine champion Chattle SuperSonics Lenny
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: Wilkins was honored with a statue outside of Climate. Candy,
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: your thoughts about him being honored in a place that
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: he won a championship, and it's inevitable that the Seattle
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: super Ethonics are going to be coming back during the
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: next wave of the NBA expansion, Candy, We're gonna start
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: off with you this time.
- 1:09:14Speaker 7: Always, it's always an honor to have a statue outside
- 1:09:20Speaker 7: a place that you had success, because then then you're
- 1:09:24Speaker 7: you're you're part of history, and people will will know
- 1:09:27Speaker 7: about you and think, you know, and learn about you
- 1:09:30Speaker 7: because they'll be like, I mean, for years to come,
- 1:09:33Speaker 7: they'll be like, who was this guy?
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: What what did he do?
- 1:09:37Speaker 7: He was fifty greatest Players in NBA History, NBA's fiftieth
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: Anniversary All Time Team. He he was a great coach.
- 1:09:49Speaker 7: He did a lot of great things. Uh, he's top
- 1:09:53Speaker 7: ten coaches in the NBA.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Yeah, he was incredible, all right, P Do you think.
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: Definitely deserves it. I mean, he's also a three time
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: Hall of Famer, NBA Hall of Famer right coach player,
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: and also an assistant coach with the with the Dream Team.
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: So yeah, I think it's great, and I think more
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: teams should put statues up in front of their you know,
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: arenas and stuff like that. You don't see it enough, right,
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: I mean, the Mets just did it a couple of
- 1:10:22Speaker 4: years ago with Tom Seaver, and you know, me and
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: Robin been talking about they probably gonna put Juan Soto
- 1:10:27Speaker 4: up when he's done with his career. But yeah, I
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: think listen, Lenny Wilkins definitely deserves that statue in Seattle,
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: especially if they're gonna get a team again without a doubt.
- 1:10:38Speaker 6: All right, Robin, let's put the Bets put up a
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: wild card banner for winning a wildcard once.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: So that's true.
- 1:10:44Speaker 9: They did.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: They did well here, Jacob, now that you interject, and
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about Wilt getting his statue outside
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: in Seattle.
- 1:10:51Speaker 6: Oh, it's wonder See he has one title in the
- 1:10:54Speaker 6: nineteen seventy nine. I was born in seventy eight, but I.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Watched that title. I watched that game. That's all before
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: when they watched.
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: He was a wonderful He was a wonderful coach. Wonderful coach,
- 1:11:05Speaker 6: and it shows. It's just see, you don't know me
- 1:11:08Speaker 6: this big Chris and Rob, I absolutely obliterate fans on
- 1:11:12Speaker 6: the daily. Hate fans hate absolutely. I mean you have
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: a peer and utter hate for them, and and them
- 1:11:20Speaker 6: thinking they know anything. And if they considering he won one,
- 1:11:24Speaker 6: they would think, oh, he's overrated. How many times did
- 1:11:27Speaker 6: he win? How many times you get to a playoffs?
- 1:11:30Speaker 6: It's hard to win. It's hard to win, and he
- 1:11:34Speaker 6: won on the regular and it's tough to be able
- 1:11:38Speaker 6: to get there. And and most of all, he was
- 1:11:40Speaker 6: a teacher of the game.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: Right, And there's more to.
- 1:11:44Speaker 6: This than just the somebody's stats that you'll get or
- 1:11:47Speaker 6: your little TikTok highlights.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: Right, excellent points, Rob, What do you think about Lenny
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: getting his statue outside of the saddle?
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: Yeah, he deserves it. Three in the Hall of Fame,
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: three times, right, that's amazing. He was named one of
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: the fifteen greatest coaches in NBA history. Yeah, he definitely
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: deserves it. I agree with that one percent.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: I'm all in on Lenny Wilkins. I actually saw those
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: games when he lost the first year, and then they
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: came back to the following year head Jack Sigmau One,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: You're the Marvin Webster ended up going to the next
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: and he still managed to win with Jack sickmad in Downtown,
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: Freddy Brown. Those are some pretty good teams that Len
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: he had there. And the fact is the Sonics, it's
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: not a matter of if, it's a matter of when
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: they get there. I'm glad that they put it out there,
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: and I'm sure Lenny's glad that he wasn't able to
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: see it while he was well. He's alive to do it,
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: so man, I'm really happy for him. All right, Final
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: segment of the night, parting shots. Okay, Jacob lead off.
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: That's I'm gonna make it it.
- 1:12:45Speaker 6: I'm gonna make my parting shot just like and it's
- 1:12:48Speaker 6: gonna be toward fans and they get because I want
- 1:12:51Speaker 6: Robin Chris to understand the thing, because I was gonna
- 1:12:54Speaker 6: bring this here. If I was to tell any fan
- 1:12:59Speaker 6: whatsoever what to do, if you want to be able
- 1:13:03Speaker 6: to yell and scream and holler and say we get
- 1:13:05Speaker 6: rid of this guy, I'll fire this guy, I would say,
- 1:13:09Speaker 6: go find a minor league. Team or a semi pro
- 1:13:12Speaker 6: team or anything, and run the team. See how you do.
- 1:13:16Speaker 6: I would say something like that because one of the
- 1:13:20Speaker 6: things that one of the biggest faults that I have
- 1:13:23Speaker 6: and I've made Caleb Williams jokes tonight, but one of
- 1:13:26Speaker 6: the things is everybody knows what I think of him.
- 1:13:29Speaker 6: But the biggest thing about it is the fact that
- 1:13:30Speaker 6: they've made decisions based off of that. Maybe it was
- 1:13:32Speaker 6: a mistake, but at least someone like me is trying,
- 1:13:35Speaker 6: even if it's is a volunteer thing, to learn what
- 1:13:38Speaker 6: they're doing. I try to go volunteer into coaching. I
- 1:13:42Speaker 6: try to go volunteer. I try to actually understand based
- 1:13:44Speaker 6: off the minds of a GM or an owner or
- 1:13:47Speaker 6: any of those. And it's like a lot of these
- 1:13:51Speaker 6: fans are thinking off the basis of a better of Gambler.
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: They don't know. But the biggest problem with these front
- 1:13:58Speaker 6: offices is they're trying to appease those fans, those little
- 1:14:03Speaker 6: like you idiots. They're trying to appease them. And then
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: it's and that's why I can't stand what's happening with
- 1:14:09Speaker 6: the Chicago Bears. You're trying to every time you get
- 1:14:12Speaker 6: close to winning. You get you get close to winning,
- 1:14:15Speaker 6: you listen to the fans, you start to complain that
- 1:14:17Speaker 6: they're too bored. Winning is what brings your fans regardless.
- 1:14:23Speaker 6: Ye I don't care what they even say. But that's
- 1:14:26Speaker 6: all I would have to say about fans in this
- 1:14:29Speaker 6: stretch is if the reason I can't stand you is
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: you sit on your couch, it's the same as UFC.
- 1:14:35Speaker 6: You have your chips and they're all over your lap.
- 1:14:39Speaker 6: While you're saying I would have gone under the gold,
- 1:14:42Speaker 6: I would have I would have ducked that punch. And you, meanwhile,
- 1:14:46Speaker 6: you have chips all over your chest and you don't
- 1:14:47Speaker 6: train a day in your life. So that's where I'm at.
- 1:14:53Speaker 6: If you want to comp, that's all my thing is.
- 1:14:56Speaker 6: If you want to complain, go do it. Go do
- 1:15:00Speaker 6: it yourself, and see you probably wouldn't have it made
- 1:15:03Speaker 6: complaints if you understood how hard it is.
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you something, Jacob, that's not the
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: reason why I don't like to sit in the stands.
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: And if I can't cover a game, I don't want
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: to go perioud. So you sum up what I think
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: of that? All right, Rob, go ahead, what do you think.
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: I'm going to bring up umpires. Okay, it's a hard
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: job in the major leagues, yes it is. But nowadays
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: it's like they got to be more consistent. It's driving
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: me crazy with the strike zone. If they're not consistent
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: and they put themselves into the game too much. It's
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: not about you.
- 1:15:37Speaker 6: It's not you.
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: You should not have anything to do with the outcome
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: of a game. All right, mistakes are made, that's a
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: different story. But you know, throwing a player out after
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: one second for yelling out, you know, from the dugout
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: or a manager, or just just the way umpires have
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: been lately. It's this seems like they're worse and worse.
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: It used to be, you know, the umpire they called
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: the game, most of them called great games, and you
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: didn't hear much about them. Now forget it. They're involved
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: and a lot of them act like it's about them.
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: It's not about you.
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: Like that, Candy your parting Shan.
- 1:16:23Speaker 7: Kudos to Venus Williams. She became the second oldest woman
- 1:16:27Speaker 7: to win a tour level singles match in professional tennis.
- 1:16:32Speaker 7: At age forty five. She beat Natan Stearns, twenty two
- 1:16:37Speaker 7: years younger than her. This was her first singles victory
- 1:16:41Speaker 7: for Williams in nearly two years. The only older woman
- 1:16:44Speaker 7: to win a match was Martina Natalova at age forty
- 1:16:48Speaker 7: seven back in two thousand and four. Former number one
- 1:16:52Speaker 7: ranked Williams had not played singles in an official match
- 1:16:57Speaker 7: since March of twenty twenty four. You missed time because
- 1:17:01Speaker 7: she had surgery. The last time she won in singles
- 1:17:05Speaker 7: was August of twenty twenty three, almost two years ago,
- 1:17:09Speaker 7: so kudos to her.
- 1:17:10Speaker 6: I do have one thing to say, Candy. I've read
- 1:17:13Speaker 6: up on this. This is another story for another day.
- 1:17:16Speaker 6: We can make it a pundit. She said in herself
- 1:17:19Speaker 6: she had that surgery and she said she would heard
- 1:17:23Speaker 6: her insurance was on Cobra, so she was going back
- 1:17:26Speaker 6: for the thing, to be able to get the WTA
- 1:17:30Speaker 6: the insurance for that type of deal. They remember, she's wealthy,
- 1:17:34Speaker 6: so Serena's even more wealthy. But that shows you how
- 1:17:38Speaker 6: crazy medical is. If Bavenis is coming back to get
- 1:17:42Speaker 6: off of Cobra, that tells you everything. So I mean,
- 1:17:47Speaker 6: she admitted it herself on an interview. She did it
- 1:17:49Speaker 6: for that.
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: Wow, that is interesting.
- 1:17:53Speaker 6: That's horrible, but she was and good for her but
- 1:17:56Speaker 6: I'm like, she had that surgery and then she's on
- 1:18:00Speaker 6: co brand. It's getting expensive, so she has to go.
- 1:18:03Speaker 6: He has to come back to go get her. WTA.
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: Rob and I were just talking about, right, the medical system,
- 1:18:11Speaker 5: and that's that's said.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: So real. All right, Pizza, what's your parting shot?
- 1:18:17Speaker 4: Party shot?
- 1:18:18Speaker 6: What about?
- 1:18:18Speaker 4: Hey, congratulations to the Hall of Fame inductees that are
- 1:18:21Speaker 4: going in this weekend for baseball. Uh, you got Billy Wagner,
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: Itro Suzuki, ce Szabat, the Dave Parker and Dick Allen.
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: Unfortunately they're not going to be there. They passed away,
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: especially Dave Parker. I mean, why they wait so long
- 1:18:37Speaker 4: to to, you know, to get this guy in the
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. I mean, these guys deserved it. Put
- 1:18:42Speaker 4: them in. Don't wait until they pass away, you know,
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: till they get sick and they pass away and they
- 1:18:47Speaker 4: can't appreciate, you know, standing up there with with all
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: the other greats and and having the speech and all that,
- 1:18:52Speaker 4: and just seeing that plaque in the Hall of Fame.
- 1:18:55Speaker 4: I mean, come on, don't wait so long to put
- 1:18:59Speaker 4: these guys in, you know, because it's gonna happen, right, Uh,
- 1:19:02Speaker 4: the whole.
- 1:19:02Speaker 5: We we've been discussing too about Pete Rose.
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: I mean, if he gets in, right, I mean, that's
- 1:19:07Speaker 4: gonna open up a can of worms, I think, with
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: maybe even bringing in the the steroid guys. So we'll
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: see what happens there. But why wait so long to
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: put these guys in? You know, I hate it, but
- 1:19:19Speaker 4: thank god they are going in. At least their families
- 1:19:20Speaker 4: are going to appreciate it.
- 1:19:22Speaker 6: So that's it.
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Our rookies are doing pretty good tonight,
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: Candy Jacob, what do you think about these two? They're
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: pretty good, aren't they.
- 1:19:29Speaker 6: Oh, let's see, I don't know how much rookie there
- 1:19:32Speaker 6: is the.
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: Rookies on the show. All right, anyway, all right, all
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: let me give you my final parting shot. Okay, parting
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: shot is a technoledge. You messing up on my shows
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: all night today, Leary were chopping it out. That's okay,
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: we're still making it work. But the real parting shot
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: is kudos to five Sports and Allison Williams replaces Laura Oakman,
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: who chose not to sign a contract extension. Williams left
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: e over Disney's COVID vaccine mandate. More power to Allison. Okay,
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: you weren't putting up a Disney's business and you decided
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: to have your child anyways and not be forced by
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: corporate world to do it. Fox rings her on, she
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: does a college thing, and now she's gone to the pros.
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: I'm proudy Allison for holding your ground. It took a
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: heck of a woman to do that. In ESPN is
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: a love hate relationship with the things you do. This
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: one falls on the hate side. Okay, I don't like
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: what you did, but Fox took the high road and
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: Lord decided to go Alison. Williams was a logical choice
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: to do it. So if that said, I want to
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: thank william Thing for at least making it on part
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: of the show tonight. What I will do with him
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: next week is probably carry over the lending Wilkins topic
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: for him. And meanwhile, as far as Robin Chris our concerned, pizza, Okay,
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: we're gonna have play. They're gonna be on the network regularly.
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: They've done a heck of a job tonight. I just
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: got to make sure that Rob knows that he's on
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: duty for Tuesday over on Inside the Pitch then and
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: Rob up you are at least later for the country
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: club next Thursday night, and I'll see what else I
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: can do to finagles some things in this week, but
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: at least plan on Thursday and I'll check you over
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: the weekend. Thee else I'm able to do. Okay, my friend, Hi,
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: thank you. So you guys did a great job tonight.
