• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I absolutely hate you. So how you guys have an
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: eggnog fountains?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Were they saying that from like a caloric standpoint or
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: consistency standpoint or did they think that they tasted like
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: big Macs bat Graham. I think that's probably.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty five grams of that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, yeh, think about that on the holiday.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I'll eat a big Mac
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: with a nagnog chaser.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I'll do it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I will dip the big Mac in the of eggnog
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and eat it that way.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: How about that just egnog square?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It's the holidays. Tell your calorie counting friend the buzz off.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We're celebrating around here. Well, happy baseball season to you.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Oh it's so good to be bad, so fun. Yeah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and you know, I know that that some things haven't
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: gone the way people would have liked, then others have
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: gone spectactularly. Well, and that's what's just made me kind
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of smile, is like, yes, this is baseball. You know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: however you think things are going to go for life,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: you know, life is what happens while you're making all
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: your plants. However you think things are gonna go, it
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: never does. And that's what makes it so incredibly awesome.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about something that we hope that are real.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Why is Brendan Donovan and what we see out of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: him offensively anyway real? And why should I believe that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Cole Young has arrived because they've been two of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: positive stories so far this year.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of nerding out on Brendan Ryan already,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: or Brendan Donovan, Brendon Ronins, Brendan Donovan already, just like
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: so many little things that this guy does. He's such
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a grinder. I mean, going into the wall the other
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: day in Foul Territory. How many pitches did that save
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: your pitcher? You know, him beating out the back leg
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: of a double play, and then you know that's the
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: difference between him the inning not being over and now
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the double and he scores from
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: first on the double. I mean, you've got to get
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a great jump. You got to be you know. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: know it's kind of an easy to read and to left,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: but just like all of the little things that this
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: guy does, he is as good as advertised and thrilled
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: for Cole Young. You know a guy that went into
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the off season and just said I'm going to work,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to work and I'm just going to keep working,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and he's done that. I don't think I'm not trying
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to take anything away from Cole that he's the most
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you know, athletically gifted guy out there. But I love
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: guys that work and the work pays off, and that's
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: what you are seeing, you know, with Cole Young. There's
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: guys that are quicker, that are guys that are faster,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: but this guy is put in the work and we're
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: seeing it already. And you know, he changed his approach.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I think he's not coming around the wall as much.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: He's staying up the middle, and that's allowing him to
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: hit Leust he's better. It's allowing him to hit you
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: right hand and pitching better as well, just it's a
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: good approach and I hope he stays with it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: He feels like a threat. I mean I did not
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: feel that way about Cole Young last year, but now
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: every time he comes to the plate, I'm like, oh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: he just feels like a threat up there right now.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Who's got the better hair? Donovan or Ben Gamble? Has
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Donovan replaced Ben Gamble on the greatest hairdoo list you've
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: ever put together? Yeah?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he might.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: He might some good salad, good salad that yeah, slow.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Game is strong, for sure, he might see. I hate
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: to even bring these things up because I know guys
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: they're so touch hims uh Britain and Donovan may have
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: a better hair line.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Oh look at you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: It might put him over the edge. So hard to tell,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: you know, so often with baseball players you never see
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: them because they have their hats on.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But his hot his hair has a high upside still
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: where maybe because his fore.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Hair his forehead is not high.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Bengi Mentin is with us here on Chuck and Buck.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the elephant in the room.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Three and four. Start with our three best hitters. Just
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: starting about as ice cold as you possibly Can cal Raley,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Josh Naylor, Julio Rodriguez, what's wrong? You know.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I don't want to, you know, point and just go
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: look at the WBC. But I think that baseball is
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a game that you have to do a little a lot.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You can't do a lot a little. You know, you've
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: heard about like cal Rawly trying to cram for the
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: test at the end there and try to get as
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: many at baths as he can. It's based onlyn't a
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: game like that, like and and it's not even at baths.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I know everybody keeps talking about, you know how he
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: didn't get as many at baths. I think it's it's
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the it's the grind that's necessary behind the scenes. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I also think, like I can point to the value
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: of Bobby and Marguianas and Kevin Sitzer, the hitting coaches,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: because those guys know these guys swings in and out
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and they can make like a little tiny adjustment as
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: far as like you know where their hands are, where
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the bad angle is that there their launch points, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think they've had that, you know. It's it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: like these guys go into spring training and and going
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: back to Brendan Donovans. I mean that guy was like
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: living in the cage for four hours a day and
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: they didn't have that of spring training. They didn't have
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: their normal facilities to be able to, you know, put
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: in one hour one day and for the next and
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: then three you know, the following day, and a guy
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: that knows their swing frame by frame to saying, hey,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing this. Try putting your hands here, Try putting
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: this here. Hey, I feel like you're coming your ways coming,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: you know, just a little before look at your head
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: here and look at this. I don't think that's happened.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think I think that is what has been missing.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: It's not necessarily just the number of a bats and
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: that you know that want neither desired a cramp for
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: the test and try to get in as many at bats.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: It's the work. Yeah, that was missing because of the WBC.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Well I like that. I like the way you broke
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that down. I was just blaming it on the WBC
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: without a really clear definition or explanation.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: We're saying the same thing. Okay, book, WBC has lost
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: short than what I just went through.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Why why is the Emerson Hancock outing Why should I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: believe that that's real. And then secondarily it's crazy because
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I saw your tweet about how kind a person he is.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy you follow such a cool team for
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a living that, like Logan Gilbert's like the third nicest
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: guy on the roster. Like nowhere in else in the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: world is Logan Gilbert the third nicest person in the room.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But that's how awesome dudes they've gathered here in Seattle.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, when I saw Emerson like, I was like
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: like jumping on him and I was like, you know, Pugny,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: did you do it yesterday? What did you do? I
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: was like, I'm so happy for you. He was like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, Angy And I'm like, And that's the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: thing is like he will come up to you and
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: say your name. I mean, I know that sounds like
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: a dumb thing, Like oh what a human thing, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Like I feel like a cartoons he knows my name,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: my name, you know, But that's the way Emersony is.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: And so you're just absolutely thrilled for, you know, his success,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: because he as good as a baseball player he is,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: he's just such you know, a great, you know, human being.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: And again, these are things that should not be the test, like, oh,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: you actually asked somebody how they're doing. You know that
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: you actually know they have kids, my job, everything about you.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: But as far as like if it's real, I don't know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: ask me if there is next start. But this is
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: a game where you know, these guys just don't go
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: and most of them anyway, you know, don't go and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: get off season jobs. You know, the money is good
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: enough that they can just spend their off season training
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: versus driving for FedEx. And so you know he's another
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: guy that he's just he he never has stopped working.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: And sometimes you know, that's what happens when the Karen
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: is dangled in front of you and you've had to
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: play the role, you know, like he has. It's like
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you know, hey, we need the sixth starter. You know
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: you're up. Okay, go back to Triple A and work
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: on things. Hey we need you again. And you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: you have this back and forth and you really want
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to be here, and you get such a taste of
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: being here that it makes you when you're not here,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: work even harder to get back here. And so he's
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: had that struggle slash luxury and and I'm just I'm thrilled,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: like you know, he's gonna have to miss bats. You know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: velocity is a real thing, and he's not been a
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: guy that's lit up the radar gun, but his velo
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: is up and the other thing that has happened with
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: him kind of year after years. It's there in the spring,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: you know, is it there in July? And so is
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: this going to be able to you know, continue That's
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: a big thing because velocity really does affect swing decisions.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: One guys, you know, haves to get going with their
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: swing and then he's got all this movement and all
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: this change of speeds. So as long as he's got
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: that vilo, I think this this could be very real
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: In our last minute here together and great to have
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you on, but we haven't had you on yet so
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: far this season. So just your outlook, I mean, is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it feeling to you like a World Series type year?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Is this the type of roster that has been assembled
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: here in Seattle? And I'm sure that seven games and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a three and four start is not taking you away
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: from your preseason prediction.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say this very slowly because this guy
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: worries me every time. Cam Schlittler, last night's pitcher for
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the Yankees. He went to an interview with Susan Waldman,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: who's this master legend with the Yankees, and I was like, hey,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: to say anything interesting, and she said, he wouldn't stop
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: talking about you guys. The guy that has to stand
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: sixty feet six inches away from you and try to
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: get you out. He has a really good idea of
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: what he's up. Again, he sees the swings that you
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: put on his best stuff, and he said he works
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: all night long trying to keep the Mariners off balance.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: That speaks volumes to me with the stuff that that
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: guy has, and said, that's a playoff team over there.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: So what other people say about you, in particularly the
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: guys that are trying really hard and are really good
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: at getting you out and they walk away even though
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: they got the best of you and went that was hard.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I think that that that goes well for this team.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: And again with what the very top of this this
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: order is doing. What the bottom. We haven't even seen
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: the best I think out of our pitching staff, even
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: though they've been very very good, very very good. When
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you get two, three, four going like lookout, look out,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: and two three four, too good. They're gonna get there. Yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: it's just unfortunately they haven't had a little a lot,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: but they will. It's one hundred and sixty two game seasons.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: And they get there and there's josh Naeler. Looks great.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: You know. I said that to him yesterday. It's like,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: you're a pro, sure that that's look great?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I mean Julio scored up a ball what was it,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: one hundred and seven off the bat or something, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: he doesn't get a hit off of that, Like, what why?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: That's not fair? So they're coming, It's coming. They're going
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: to fall.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, well we're just at the beginning
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of it. Great to have you now. Now I feel
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: like now we're ready for the season. We had to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: talk to Angie.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: First, so happy yours.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: That's right. I'll get you a cup or two. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: thank you very much, great to chat with you. Enjoy
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the ride, and we'll talk to you very soon.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you so much.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Appreciation Angie. Men take from Mariner's TV of course, new
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: television deal over there, and so we're all now seeing
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: her on twelve sixty one, so we appreciate her joining
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: us here. This morning, And I think a lot of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: great analysis right there from Angie this morning that explains
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of things. I have talked a lot of
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: baseball here today. We got stocking stuffers coming up in
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the next segment. But I'm going to transition a little
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: awkwardly to this because I think Ashley will appreciate this.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine could you imagine trying to teach NFL
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: math in a classroom?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, no.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine like a kid trying to wrap his
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: around numbers in addition and subtraction and division and everything else,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and they think that they're almost there. And I realized
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: they teach math differently now in a lot of schools
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: than what I was raised on. I'm not sure I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: agree with doing it that way, but whatever. Uh.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Actually nice as a parent though, because I'm like, sorry,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know how that's done.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But imagine if you threw NFL math, like if John
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Schneider like, all right, today, we're going to teach a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: salary cap math and and then I mean the kids
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is they were just like minds would get blown.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Uh He'd be like, wait, but this money's not real.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: They would go home crying. The story about Kirk Cousins.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I want you to just bear me out on this one. Okay,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So Kirk Cousins signed with the Raiders today. That's an
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: interesting story enough, Adam Schefter update comp update, Kirk Cousins
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: will sign a five year right, I can stop right there? Yes, Like, well,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that math doesn't make sense right there? Yeah, year, one
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two million dollar deal with the Raiders. Okay, okay,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: think about that. I mean, Kirk Cousins is absolutely on
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: his last leg. I don't even know if he has
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a leg left, and yet five years, one hundred and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: seventy two million dollars. Now it goes on. But in reality,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it's just a one year, fully guaranteed, twenty million dollar
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: deal that also contains a club option for two years
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: at eighty million dollars. But the Falcons will only pay
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: eight point seven million this season, the Raiders another one
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: point three million, and Las Vegas also agreed to pay
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: its new quarterback a fully guaranteed ten million dollar roster
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: bonus on the third day of the twenty twenty seven
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: New League year. How in the f could anybody make
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: sense of that if they didn't have a little bit
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of background on how to do NFL math. Is that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: not just the most convoluted story that you've ever read
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: in your entire life. So, yes, fully guarantee he's getting
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollars to sign with the Raiders and then
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a club option for two years that I'm assuming they
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: would never dream of picking, right, especially if they're taking
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza. If you take Fernando Mendoza number one, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: then you're picking up a two year option at eighty
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: million dollars for Kirk Cousins after this season, something has
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: gone wrong with Fernando Mendoza. He might have been kidnapped
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: during the course of the football season for you to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: be even entertaining that. So I don't know why. I
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: don't know why NFL math has to do this. I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: don't know why we've got to go through the process
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: of announcing a five year, one hundred and seventy two
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: million dollars deal for a player which only means one
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: year twenty million, and yet he only counts eight point
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: seven against the Cape.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I can't even.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: How do you even wrap your brains around that? How
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: could anyone do that? Math? I mean, I know, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: know that I know that there's weird math, and that's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the only thing that keeps me from being confused about that.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: But the fact that you could announce a five year,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy two million dollars deal it's really
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: only one year's twenty million, and that it only counts
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: eight point seven million against the cap.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Whoo.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I feel like I'm like Zach Galifanakis right now in
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the Hangover with all the numbers going through, but they're
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: not adding up to anything for me.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I guess some would say rain Man as well, but
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: or beautiful mind.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: It would make more sense if Kirk Cousins showed up
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: for the first day of Raiders camp with Carlos and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a Jorn.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I could understand that a Heather Graham on his side, Yeah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And Heather Graham's the standing.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: They'd be like, Okay, I don't know what's going on here,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Kirk on the first day of practice. But makes a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: lot more sense than your contract.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and he pulled out his own tooth maybe too,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: like just a combo of all the characters.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes more sense.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: NFL math, that's they should teach a class on it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: They should I mean they do offer now, like in college,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you can like take classes to become an NFL executive.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish they'd had that when I.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Was a kid. I'm sure that they do teach teach
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: capology in there with Joel professor Joel Corey at the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: front explaining what everything means. But man, just show that
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to somebody that doesn't follow football and say makes sense
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: of that?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe, like does those numbers don't add up?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Correct? Oh?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: They never will.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: He just got really rich. Oh my gosh, five years,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy No, no, no, no, he's only getting twenty.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. It's just twenty.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's an NFL math.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Why then five yours one seventy two doesn't matter? It
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's it's like, okay, perfect Nate Bargatzi, George
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Washington's skit here.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, we need to bring it back, get the boat.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And why General Washington? Is he getting five years one
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and seventy two million dollars?
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: No one knows, Yeah, but everybody accepts it, all right.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Coming up next Stocking Stuffer's Time, Happy Draft, Miss Sports

  Speaker 1: It's time for stocking stuffers. It is a staple of
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: our draft miss celebration. They are hung by the chimney
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: with care. Stocking stuffers are filled with Our stockings are
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: filled with the NFL draft rumors, and so yes, we
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: open them one at a time on a daily basis
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to find out what the latest buzz is around the league.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to start with one that I'm going
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to just create because I don't hear it buzzing, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I believe that it will start buzzing before we get
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to draft day. But I'm not hearing this being brought
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: up whatsoever. The name is Jeremiah Love, and Jeremiah Love
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: is the number one running back without question in this
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: draft class, the kid out of Notre Dame. I mean
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: he's big, he's fast, he's agile. I mean he just
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: looks the part. He's got a great name. I mean,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: there's really nothing to love but not to love about
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love. And yeah they've got him. There's not a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: draft that has any running back going higher than him.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And he keeps creeping up the list. I mean started
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: off as you know what, these guys dime a dozen
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. He could go as high
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: as nine to the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, he hasn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: been forecasted to go that low in quite some time.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's making his way up to number five
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to the Giants, or even number four to the Tennessee Titans.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm starting the rumor you haven't gone far enough.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Sa Kwon Barkley and others, and even the Seahawks this
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: past year and their commitment to the run, I think
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: is gonna change the way, and not drastically, it's going
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to adjust the way the teams are gonna draft this
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: upcoming season. I think there's gonna be I think are
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: going to start moving a little bit back up the board.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And if you've got one as special as this, because
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I really am one of those, I'm kind of a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: disciple of the running backs of a Diamond dozen. I
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: don't like overdrafting running backs. I think we took Zach
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: sharbon Ay too eye. But I also have always said
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: about it, when there's a special dude, you can't take
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: him high enough. When there's a truly special guy, yeah,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: if you don't want to lose him, Yeah, then I
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: think you could justify him going as high as number
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: two in the draft. Now. I don't think he's going
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to reach that eye, But I'm going to give you
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the team that Jeremiah loves going to end up on.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You want a stocking stuffer.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I'm all ears.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It's gonna end up at the Arizona Cardinals at number three.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I don't love that for us, And I realize that
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: they have committed to a bunch of slow plotting running
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: backs for some reason because they're not a great organization. Uh.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But like they've signed Connor and they signed al Jeer,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: which I think is the same person. And so they've
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: kind have committed to slow, durable physical I wouldn't even
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: say durable, slow physical, plotting running backs that can move piles.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But where's their playmaker? They don't have one of those.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: This guy's playmaker. And that's the thing I know about
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals going I I've known both Bidwells. The
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: old man wanted some sort of you know, some sort
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: of shiny object to show in front of his fan base,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: dingle to dangle to move tickets. And young son Michael
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: hasn't fallen far from the tree, except he's more arrogant
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: than Douche here u. Yeah, and so they hate him
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: in Arizona. So I think this is an organization that
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: still to this day regrets not taking Adrian Peterson in
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. They let him fall to the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Vikings at number seven and ended up with Levi Brown,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: even though all the talk that draft was to take
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson and they didn't do it. This is an
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: organization going all the way back to Bill Bidwell in
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three that with the third pick overall, took
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Garrison Hurst. They didn't have another star on the team.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Steve Burline was their quarterback. Ricky Proll was their number
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: one receiver. For goodness sake, he was the Rams number
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: four receiver when they actually won. So they don't have
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a star player. Kyler Murray didn't work out for them.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Harrison doesn't seem to be working out for them. They
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: need somebody to dangle in front of their fans to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: give them some excitement.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Keep them coming.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's going to end up being
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I think Love's gonna climb all the way to number three.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the typical Arizona Cardinal.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: We need a star to move merchandise and to move tickets,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and a tackle's not going to do that, even if
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: it does make the most sense. They say Jeremiah Love
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: is the best prospect in this draft, regardless of position,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and I think the Cardinals are going to take him
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: number three. I'm starting a rumor today. I like Usually
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I unwrap rumors that are already started. I'm starting a
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: rumor today.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: I like that you're starting the rumor and just going
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: with it and taking the initiative to see if it sticks. Yeah,
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: but I don't love that Love would be in our division. No,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: I don't either, because when the when the Arizona Cardinals
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: have had great running backs, they've been Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But I think it's probably not the why. I mean,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: there's a reason that nobody's mocking him to Arizona because
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: they believe the wiser decision is they need to fix
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: their trenches. Maybe maybe it's not the wisest decision to
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: take him, so maybe you root for that, even though
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: he is a spectacular player.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: And I hear what you're saying too about them needing
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: to do something to appease their fans, because you can't
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: just have a crap product year after year after year
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: and expect them to keep buying tickets.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: They're in a bad way. Yeah, they're in a bad
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: way that organization. I mean, look, I mean, I know
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Cardinal fans get ripped on. But since they now have
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: generation I mean such a town of where people move
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to Arizona, but now they've got a couple of generations
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: there where most of the fans have grown up. Arizona
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Cardinal fans. They support the team. They've had a long
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: run of sellouts, they support the team. I think it's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the lowest they've been in quite some time. That they
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: thought they were building something special and it crashed and burned.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Like the last couple of years. They were supposed to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: take steps forward and they've crashed and burned, and so
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of doubt with Arizona Cardinals football again. And
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: so I think this is going to be like a
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: cheap ploy to try to win them back over, and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that is to get them the shiny object that is
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the Adrian Peterson like running back that's in this class.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So just a theory. We'll see if it comes to fruition.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Let me go to a couple of other stocking stuffers here.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: How about this one. The Detroit Lions may have tipped
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: their hand a little bit. They did not bring back
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Taylor Decker. They are operating right now without a left tackle.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: That is one area, and a draft that most people
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: are described as a down draft that seems to be
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: very strong. There seem to be some really good left
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: tackles in this upcoming draft from Caden Proctor, the monster
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: out of Alabama, Spencer Fonou out of Utah Mulaga, the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: All American out of Miami, Monroe Freeling out of Georgia,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: who seems to be the flavor of the month right
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: now at this position. So there's about there are probably
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: four left tackles that people believe are plug and play
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: type left tackles, and it sounds like Detroit is attaching
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: or a lot of people are attaching one of those
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: four to Detroit. But they have left themselves with such
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: an open hole. It might seem too obvious that they're
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of a tackle rich draft. And
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: so what they're wondering now, and what people are starting
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to rumor about, is that if these tackles start firing
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: off the board earlier than Detroit thought, that they may
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: be compelled to move up from seventeen to get up
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: into position. I mean, they have Super Bowl aspirations, right,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I mean they're coming off a wildly disappointing year and
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: they've let their left tackle walk. I mean, you're not
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: making your team better exposing Jared Goff's backside. He's not
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: exactly the quickest dude in the building. So they need
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to protect Jared Goff and so a left tackle need,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: their left tackle need might be one of the biggest
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: needs in the entire draft. And if they're going to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: sit there and they might not have the luxury of
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: just sitting there waiting for one of the four or
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: five tackles that are first round worthy to fall into
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: their lap. So that's something worth keeping an eye on.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And finally from stocking stuffers, let's address the Aja Brown rumor.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Again.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I am just of the belief that he's going to
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: get moved. And you can see a lot of mock
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: drafts right now having the Eagles take a wide receiver.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: And the reason is that even if they do keep
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: aj Brown in the interim that event that it's not
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: a long term solution for them. But I take it
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: even further. I mean, where there's smoke, there's fire usually
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: with these NFL trades, and this has been a raging
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: inferno really for the last year basically, and so I
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: think they are going to move him. And at one
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: point the Rams were highly connected to aj Brown. That's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: another thing you don't want to see coming into the division.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Necessarily, that's not what we need.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: But you do wonder if they re enter that conversation
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: with what Pooka's got going on right now. I don't
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: think that Rams fan have to worry about Pooka Naku.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I think that he's getting the help that he seeks
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and my guess is that he's going to be fine.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: There certainly wasn't anything wrong with his game this past year,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that's for damn sure. But if they were already thinking
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: about teaming the two together and now suddenly we've got
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit of doubt for the first time in
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Nikua's career as to you know, how this thing's going
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: to proceed, maybe that's worth revisiting. If you are the Rams,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and they still have DeVante Adams by the way as well,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So I don't think that feels like a marriage to me.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: But I do believe that all of the mockers out
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: there that keep taking wide receivers for the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I think they're in the same boat that I am.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna move AJ Brown this year. There's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: just I mean, it's beyond smoke with this guy. And
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: so maybe it does make sense that the Eagles go
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: wide receiver in the first round of the draft and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: finally let Davonte Smith show if he's a wide receiver one. Yeah, oh,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that's terrible idea.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And you'd really answer the question if Jalen Hurts
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: or A. J. Brown is holding the back.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Don't you well one of the talk is that it's
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Aj that it's that it's hurts Jalen hurts, not AJ
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: brind out for real. I heard a really good, interesting
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: comment about that that said, boy, you should really look
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: at something where AJ Brown can be that disruptive, that vocal.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: You don't seem like that big of a pain in
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the ass. And yet the team is siding with him,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: like most of the players are siding with him, as
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: if to say, I don't like that he's saying it,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: but somebody needed to and that's yeah, that's that's a
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: really interesting spin on what's going on there in Philadelphia.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: But I don't think they'll get rid of the quarterback.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I think they will get rid of the wide receiver.

• 33:45
  Speaker 4: and the same. The chat's a fun new element. We've

• 33:50
  Speaker 2: They're all show and there. Yeah, no, they're all It's great.

• 34:00
  Speaker 4: out out to the chatters on the YouTube channel. Thanks
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: for participating, thanks for listening to the show. And I
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: promise I'm.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Working on answering.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: More.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to be there.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: You are being interactive with them, yep. Should I have
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: it up? I don't even have it up.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I was going to ask, And so
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I thought maybe in the breaks you and Bucky could
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: start could do that.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: So we'll get Jeff to get.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: That set up in there, because it's kind of nice there.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: They've been asking some questions throughout the show and different things.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I'm really not for anybody that thinks they're getting at
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: me on the Uh, you know, I don't seem to
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: be trying to do I don't know. I just mean
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: in general, like the text line. I understand. I hear
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: reported that it can get pretty nasty on the text
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: line at sometimes for all the shows. Oh yeah, if
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: you think you're getting to me, I never look at it.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he does not.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's not that I don't care. It's not
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that I don't like, you know, you feeling like this.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: The show's more interactive. It's just that I think too
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: many times talk show oks will get hung up on
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: one criticism, probably from an unreliable source, and I just
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: don't want to react because then you feel it's like natural,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: you feel compelled to defend your opinion against one person's
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: criticism of your take, So then you spend the next
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: segment which you had planned to do something else reacting
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to something that just because one person felt that way.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: So I keep it away from me so that I
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: don't use that as reason to go back after something.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I say what I say. There'll be other times to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: discuss it, not saying I'm always right, but which I'm not.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I know I'm telling you I'm not always right, but
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: certainly I don't want it to flavor my next conversation
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: about it, so totally understanding. Yeah, sometimes even on Twitter,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I think that as a group, because social media is
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: still pretty new, that will just take one criticism and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: then feel like we need to address it on the airwaves.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I don't ever want to feel that way. So now
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I'm a little compelled to. I kind of want to
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: do an interact on the video chat on the chat,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: but then again that kind of falls into the same bubble.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: It's new, and I think a lot of our people
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that really like us probably went to go watch it
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: on YouTube the last couple of days. But I don't
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: know if I want to continuously see a stream the
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: compliments too, I don't even need I don't even even
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: though everybody likes getting compliments over criticism even that I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: don't want to color what I'm going to say NOWT No,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: and I can understand that's just my philosophy.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. I just think it is. It
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: is a fun element.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: It's nice, and I appreciate their participation, participation. I'm going
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: to try to be better at responding to them. I
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: am pretty good.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: At responding to texts.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: I don't get to everybody, but I do respond to
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: a lot of the people on the text line.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: My favorite is when people insult us or do something
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: and I responded and they're like, well, you don't have
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: to respond to me. You're right, I don't, but I
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: try to respond to everybody. You know, your text was right,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I think maybe we did need to have the conversation
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: about why we choose to or not to respond. Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I think that's good.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: It's good. It's good. Yeah, all right, Well keep it coming.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying it. I mean, I feel a
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: little exposed. I forget about the cameras most of the time.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I've done things I shouldn't have
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: done in front of the camera. I have no idea,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: just out of habit, but I promise I will shave
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: at some point in my life and look a little
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: more presentable.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Just not after bourbon.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The barber was busy. Yeah, the barber last night.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Drinking further appointments.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, damn, barber never count Yeah you can't. Really.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: They're reliable. Yeah, always always choosing bourbon over shaving.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I almost got through a show. It'll be my one
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: last thing without talking about ABS the first time.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: That's actually pretty crazy.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first time. It would have been the first show,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: but I didn't quite make it because I'm going to
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: bring it up as my one last thing because we
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: had history made yesterday. It did happen. The game ended
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: on an ABS overturn. Uh. In the Baltimore Orioles game. Oh,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know that umpire called it a ball catcher
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: challenge that they I guess they had both challenges remaining,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and he's like, might as well use it. And it
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: barely clipped, barely clipped the strike zone, and so the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: game ended on an overturned call.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: So I don't know how I feel about that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how I'm gonna feel about that
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: come World Series time. If a World Series ends that way.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, No, that would be the worst.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's better than if a world series ended and
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the entire series by a challenge. That
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: would be even worse because at least an overturn. I mean,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: can you the celebration going on and the hitters just
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: sitting there tapping his head like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: hey hey. Can you imagine with all that chaos.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: No, that's what I'm trying to think about now, Like, oh,
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know how, No, I would not.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I don't like that.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: It would be even worse though, if it was a challenge,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: like I don't play at home plate and then everybody
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: got on and then because in that case, everybody's got
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to go back out on the field and resume a
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: game that you'd already celebrated a championship. You've already done
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: your dog dog dog pile.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Pile.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: It's hard to come back from a dog pile and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: try to focus on winning a base pile.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: You do.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Uh So, anyway, history was made yesterday, It's already happened,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: and I think it is worth pointing out about the
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: ABS challenge system. I know that a lot of people
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: after the WBC game. Right. Oh, I'm so glad we're
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: gonna have me ABS. We never have to have a
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: blown ball strike called decide the end of the game. Ever, Again,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: you are out of you're flipping minds because most of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: these ABS challenges are getting burned up before the ninth inning.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: So that's still here to stay. Yeah, we're still going
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: to have games that end with a bad homeplate umpire
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: ball strike call. That's not leaving us. We will certainly
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: have fewer by nature of the rule. We will have
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: fewer because we now have the option to challenge if
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: we've kept a challenge remaining. But we are not by
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: a long shot done with bad umpire calls ending baseball game. No,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: there's no way. Just to warn you, all right, we'll
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow, Friday edition of Chucking Buck in
