  Speaker 1: I thought. I didn't realize the other team was a

• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the show and shows becoming too popular, what happened? We
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: used to have no advertisers. All of a sudden, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: have always advertisers. Why people must be listening to the show.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: What happened? Anyway? All right, we'll go to Pittsburgh. Why not.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: We'll go to Pittsburgh, good town. Bad sports teams, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: good town. You know, Steelers used to be good anyway,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk about the Pirates. Well, you're talking
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: about the Pirates. Know the Yankees and Maners clinched the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: playoff signer. So the Pirates upended the Reds in Cincinnati.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: This is a big series here, a massive, massive series.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: As these teams, well, the Pirates aren't going anywhere, but
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: they did beat the Reds, and so that's a blow
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to the Cincinnati baseball team. And the story, though, is
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not about that individual game on a random Tuesday. That's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not the story. The story here, I think you might
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: know where it is, maybe not. It is about a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: guy who's making it. I believe his final start. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: think I believe it's the final start coming up on Wednesday.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Paul Skins, so the ace, the face of young pitching
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Paul Skins. He recently said that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: his club, the Pirates, will have quote wasted the twenty
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: twenty five season if the team does not learn from
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: what went wrong during the second straight campaign spent in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the sewer of the National League's Central Division, the Pittsburgh Pirates.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: If you look at your Major League Baseball standings, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Pirates have sixty eight wins. Sixty eight wins. That's it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question where is this Paul
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Skins story headed in Pittsburgh? As we parsed the words
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of Paul Skins, so I've got confluence, Japanese and butterfly,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and we'll combine all of these things together, and you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it's time to make the baba Ganoosh. We're gonna make
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the Babaganoosh. So, first of all, Paul Skins. The way
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I parsed the words of Paul Skins when he was
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: somewhat delegated well, I'll let be wasted if we don't
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: learn from this. He was using good table manners. Paul
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Skeins was using good table manners. This was a polite
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: way of saying that I am too good for you losers.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: This is a clown show. So he's twenty three. Paul
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Skiing means he is built like a steel mill smokestack,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: throws one hundred miles with ease. Is the top young
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: starting pitcher in baseball. And the Pirates organization, who he
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: plays for and gets a check for, not a big
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: one compared to everyone else. But they've been circling the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: toilet bowl since before Barry Bonds decided to put needles
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in his Tucus back in the day. There, and you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: can listen between the words. And if you listen between
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the words, when Paul Skins said wasted, he's not really
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: saying wasted season. He's saying, please get me out of here.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Blink blank, wink wink, get me out of here. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: do not want to be the East Coast version of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Mike Trout. My life's goal is not to be Mike
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Trout and Shohil Tani on the Angels when they didn't
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: win anything. The Pirates are on the verge. They're on
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the verge of wasting the salad days of Paul Skins.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Now this is in progress, it's in progress there. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates good ballpark, cool town, like Pittsburgh used
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to be dump And last time I was there was beautiful.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I thought it was really cool because I was there
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: when the weather was good. But anyway, the Pirates, good ballpark,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: bad roster. Good ballpark, bad roster. That's the Pittsburgh Pirates
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: right there. They're treading water and they're in the sewer
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and they don't understand why it smells. They don't know
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: why is it smell? And there are whispers already out there.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We haven't even gotten the playoffs. We're not even the playoffs.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: You have to obviously the run to October. We'll be
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: able to talk about baseball every night, the playoff games
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and all that. But here's the thing. We're not even
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: at that point. And there's already whispers. There's whispers that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Paul Skins is going to be floated. Teams are going
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to be contacting the Pirates in the Hot Stove League,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: which is in November and December, and say hey, what's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it gonna take to get that guy? Paul Skians and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the usual suspects, the teams like the Yankees, the Dodgers,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox, the Mets, that Cobbs, maybe the Giants
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: as well, and the big boys. They're gonna say, well,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we'll give you a godfather offer. Well, what's a godfather
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: What godfather offers like four or five of our top
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: minor league players, but every year you have new minor
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: league plus how do we know those guys are good? Well,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it's a godfather offer. People say they're gonna be good.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: If they say they're gonna be good, they're gonna be good.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Just go take the players, all right, So you know
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: what that is. We know how this works. We know
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the game. This is the vultures smelling blood in the water,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: blood in the water, and it's a baseball confluence, is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: what it is. And one of the coolest things. If
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you live in Pittsburgh you get to see this every day.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But me visiting Pittsburgh is the confluence. You have the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Mahangahila and the Alleghany that get together and they have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a baby. They have a baby called the Ohio River,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and the baby is consummated right there in Pittsburgh at
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: their confluence. Right now, you've got the confluence on Paul
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Skeins where you have a lot of things converging. There's
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts converging. You have Paul Skins
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: rising star power, rising star power. You have the Pirates
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: who are a dumpster fire roster, and you have the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: big money, big market teams sniffing around and I'm like, yes,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: what's it gonna take? You know, what's what's it gonna take.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: That is how dynasties get extended or get built, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: then small market teams get stripped and they get spare
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: parts in return. That's how this usually works here. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: here's the kicker. The kicker on this is unless there
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is a treade, whether it happens in the off season
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this year or next year or in the next couple
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of year, it's got to happen soon because he is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Paul Skin's hog tied to the buckos. He is below deck.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It's the pirate ship, and he's got a little seasick.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: He's gonna vomit one of his lungs up. He is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: locked into Pittsburgh. If the Pirates do not trade Paul Skins.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Then he is there till twenty thirty. Twenty thirty. Arbitration
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: does not even start until twenty twenty seven. It's a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: couple of years away from that sore. You're either going
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to have a guy pitching in October wearing pinstripes or
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: wearing the Dodger blue, or he's going to be rotting
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: away in Pittsburgh and he'll be racking up all kinds
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: of strikeouts and he'll be really cool in front of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: twelve thousand people friends and family in Pittsburgh. Some nice
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: boats out on the waterway there and empty seats, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you will have you will have the Pirate parrot and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the Pairt'll be there, and so that'll be kind of cool.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But the Pirates are the restaurant. They're the restaurant that's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: got a really nice location and you're like, wow, that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: is amazing. We can have a meal and look at
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the water. It's only it's so nice. Oh man, it's romantic.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And then you order the food and it's like a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: re heated hot pocket and you're like, why did I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't understand? That's the pirates, that's what that's what they are.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: But Pittsburgh ownership, if you want to call it that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: They have been running this Ponzi scheme, this scam for
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: decades in Pittsburgh, and they don't really care about winning.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It's a dirty little secret in that profession that just
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: getting into the brotherhood where you own a team, you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: have a path to make all kinds of easy money
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and you can sell these terms that dumb people love rebuilding,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you know, trust the process, these kind of terms, and listen,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: dumb people will still support your product. Now. They don't
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: do it that well in Pittsburgh, which is kind of cool.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: They don't really support the team because the team's terrible.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Unless there's a Bobblehead night or something like that, that's it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But in a lot of places it doesn't even matter
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: whether you have people who are going to the games.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: You have a TV deal, even that's gone away a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: little bit because of the cable television industry being on
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: thin ice and all that. But the point is you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: look at the teams like the Pirates and it's like
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: all you care about. You say, well, I want payroll flexibility.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: We can't compete with the Dodgers and the Mets and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the Cubs, and you know all these teams. So you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: say that, but you get that big, fat, juicy luxury
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: tax check. So you have the other teams bankroll. You're incompetence,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: so you're essentially spam your spam so the other teams
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: have someone to play. And again occasionally you'll sell out
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: for some reason. I'll have a good giveaway and people
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: got But but Paul Skeens and the Pirates is like
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: essentially say he listen, the marriage with the Pirates is
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: not going well. It's it's doomed, is what it is here.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So now the divorce papers aren't filed yet. I am
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: just getting in front of this. I promise you we
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: will have more Mallard monologues between now and the hostove
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: league in baseball where Paul Skeen's name comes up, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: whether it's in one of the big time baseball writers.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: There's some no name as well. There's some chatter at
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the winter meetings that teams are calling the Pirates about
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Paul Skiins and you know that's happy. Now. Secondly, we
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: go now to a rules engagement update from Major League Baseball.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So Major League Baseball finally did it. We knew what
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: was happening. They have finally done it. What do they do?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: What do they do? Major League Baseball? We'll have robo
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: replay for balls and strikes, a challenge system coming to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a ballpark near you in twenty twenty six. That's right now,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not fully, not fully, not every pitch, not every pitch,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but the so called Automated Ball Strike Challenge System. That's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a mouthful. The ABS ABS coming to Major League Baseball.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Two challenges per game, that's it, two challenges per game.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Pitcher catcher batter taps their helmet boom. Pitcher catcher batter
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: taps the helmet boom goes to dynamite and big Brother
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in the sky. Big Brother in the Sky there at
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball tells you whether it's a strike or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a ball, and that's how the game is going to go.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: At some point there will be a World Series decided
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: by that. So question, where are you at on Major
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: League Baseball going to the automation challenge system on replay
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: on the balls and strikes, balls and strike. So this
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: one was you knew it was inevitable, right, that's obvious,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: not obvious enough for me not to say, But we
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: knew it was inevitable. So we're all essentially passengers on
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the train full automation, Like this is the Boiling Frog,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the legend of the Boiling Frog. You start out, you
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: put a frog in some lukewarm water, and the frog
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: swims around and thinks, man, this is really cool. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: got a nice place to swim and I'm feeling pretty
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: good about myself. And then you turn up the heat
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit and the frog's like, wow, that's a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: little hot, but it's still pretty cool. I kind of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: like it. And then you go for the kill shot
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and you go as hot as you can go, and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that frog burns up. So this is major League Baseball.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Rob Manford, the evil dictator of Major League Baseball. This
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: is his master plant. Him and his henchmen like, we'll
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: start with this, and then what are we gonna do
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: next to f up baseball? And eventually it'll be on
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: every pitch. They'll expand it. It starts with two challenges
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and then they'll say, well that's not enough, we need more.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: We need more. And someday we'll just have chat GPT
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: call the game and we'll have the app and then
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you can pick that and it's like, well, that's a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: ninety seven mile an hour. That's like like a sinker.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you could throw a sinker in ninety
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: seven miles an hour. Well, that's ball too, And that's
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: where this is heading. That's where this is heading. Proved
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: me wrong to me, that's where this is heading, right,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that's where this is heading. And you know you're still
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: gonna have in this scenario, You're still gonna have the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: umpires crouching down, squatting down behind home plate, and the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: umpire's essentially window dressing, and it's only going to get worse, right,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: this is how it begins, is going to get worse
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and worse. You know, you're an old fashioned You're a boomer.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not a boomer, but on this one I am
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: old fashioned because I was raised to believe that the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: officials were part of the game and that the human
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: element mattered, and that officials aren't perfect, players aren't perfect.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: That's part of the game. And I also recall stories
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: about legends like Greg Maddox and Tony gwyn and how
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: part of their preparation for baseball was studying the umpires.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Greg Maddox knew that Eric Greg the umpire had a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: very large strike zone like his appetite, and so there
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: was a big strike zone there, so you could certain
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: parts of it, you know, on the outside you get
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a little room. Tony Gwynn knew that there were certain
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: umpires that had a smaller strike zone and certain umpires
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: had a bigger strike zone, and so they studied the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: quirks and that was what helped make them Hall of
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Fame players, that they studied this and they not everything
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: was uniform, assembly line and it was almost an art
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: form when you think about it. The imperfection of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: umpire was part of the beauty of baseball. Oh, they
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: must get the call right. You have to get everything right.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: There's even a word. It's a Japanese word for what
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: baseball had been. It's going away from this. So we'll
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: use the word right now because the baseball's going away with.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Wabi Sabi is the word, and it's it means flawed beauty.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I've seen the beauty and things that maybe aren't all
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that beautiful, but that's baseball, right. Bad calls a part
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of it, and there's a bit of a toughness to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: it where you're supposed to keep your composure. You get
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: upset with the umpire, but you keep your composure and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that's it, right. You kind of go with the flow
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and that's all. And they're moving towards a way where
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: it's now everything's got to be standardized, reviewed perfect. Every
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: call must be right, which is funny to me because
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you definitely don't want cops to give everyone that goes
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: one mile over the speed limit a speeding ticket, but
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you want every call in baseball to be right because
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you take that lodge, well, I think anyone that speed
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: should get a ticket, you do. Really, yeah, I need
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: a lot more cops to give everyone a speeding ticket,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of patrol officers out there in the highways
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and byways to give tickets. But in sports, every call's
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: got to be exactly right. Really, okay, everything's standardized. Spoiler alert,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: spoiler alert, it will not be perfect because there's always
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: humans involved some way, one way or another. The strike
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: zone will be graft by human beings and they'll be
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: replacing one set of flaws with another set of flaws.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: And mark me down. I have on my scorecard lukewarm.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That's my temperature, and it's just one step away from
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: conveyor belt full automation, which is going to be happening
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: just like we sound on football. This isn't in football.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: They have just for show. They have the chain game,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: but nobody seems to really know how they measure it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: They claim, well, we use this special technology, but they
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: just put up this weird looking, hokey graphic during NFL games,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: which really, to me has cheapened the excitement of the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: chain going out. It's not as good as the product
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is not as good in football. It's just not all right.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Final thought, we go to football quick right, and we
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: go to the land of country music and hot chicken,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Nashville where Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan. See we get
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: some sound of this. I know it's on the cut sheet.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: The supposed offensive wizard, the Joe Burrow Whisperer when he
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: was in Cincinnati, and he has just been demoted. How
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: can you demote the head coach, Well, he's still the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: head coach in name. He will no longer be calling
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the plays, no longer be calling the plays. That's right.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: He handed the joystick over to quarterbacks coach somebody named
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: bo Hardgree. I believe he is his name something like that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never heard this guy. Anyway, Nick
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Holtz will continue as the offensive coordinator. So question, how
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: do you interpret the meaning of Titans coach Brian Callahan
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: giving up the play calling. So let's first of all
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: hear from the coach. Here's what he had to say
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: about this.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: A lot of things that you self reflect on at
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the start that we've had so far and the things
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: that we've got to get better at. And one of
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the things that I think is going to help our
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: football team, help me be a better head coach for
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: our team, is I'm going to hand over the play
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: calling to both. It's a pretty easy thing to do
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: when it comes to trying to help the football team
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: win and do the best thing for you know what
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the job is. I got hired to be the head coach,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: you know, and part of that process was being involved
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: on offense. But my job is to be the head
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: coach of the football team, and I think that this
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: allows me to do that job a little bit better,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: pay more attention to some things that might require my attention,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: and be more present. So all those things are normal.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I think it's all part of you know, where we're at.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: We're rowing three, and so we're trying to get better,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So you actually hear his nose grow when he was
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: saying that this is a butterfly kiss the kiss of death.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: It is Callahan his calling card again, offensive coordinator, play
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: caller for the Cincinnati Bengals. That was the sales pitch.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And how many quotes did we get out of Nashville saying, well,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: we got the number one pick in the draft and
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: we got this guy who's a quarterback whisper. And we're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: not even twenty percent into the NFL season and ownership
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: has already yanked away the play sheet said na NAA,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and the suits there pulling the ripcord on Brian Callahan
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: before the plane even really leaves the runway. This season, now,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the Titans have been terrible. How bad are they? They're
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: thirty first in offense in the NFL. I didn't play
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. I'm told that's not good. That's right.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: There's thirty two teams and they are ranked thirty first
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Somehow they found a trapdoor and they've
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: almost hit rock bottom. They're not quite there yet. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you have the golden boy, cam Ward, who is the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: top pick in the draft, and he looks less like
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a messiah, less like a savior for the Tennessee Tides
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: at this point, more like he is a pinball in
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a fun zone arcade. He's down at the mezzanine and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: bouncing off every bumper and getting racked up there like
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: tilt warning and it's just bad. Ward is the twenty
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL, which puts him in
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the same neighborhood as Bryce Young, who's not good. And
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: so there he goes a neighborhood you don't want to
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: be in. You don't want to be there. The lawns
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: are all dead, people don't take care of their homes,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: crime is high, and so there you go, and a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: bigger insult cam Ward. Cam Ward apparently has a worse
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: quarterback rating than Will Levis last season, So there you go.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: There is that anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Shows.
• 22:00

• 27:31
  Speaker 1: when Ben Maller spoke Japanese the Gremlins started the study,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Well probably, so listen again. I stopped going into the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: main studio because you know, I'm too big a person.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I do the show from the remote studio. I would
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: never be bothered to go into that main studio anymore.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, we're moving again.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Are the Gremlins?
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Really? Where are we moving to? Where we're going upstairs there.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: They almost have it done.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Really, when is that happening?
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: I don't know soon. Ash, you've heard it from about
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: five different employees.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Now, is that right?
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Bobo took me up there to go check it out
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: the other day.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Is that right? All right? Look at that, So it
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: looks like.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: We'll be getting some new shnazya area to hang out.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: And boy, yeah, that's sound like we'll have to go upstairs,
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: which kind of suck.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: What are they gonna do with this place? Give it
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: to the cock. That'll be our third studio in like
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: five years.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Right if they turned it into a Fox Sports radio cafeteria.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: No, I bet you'd be another. There'll be another gymnasium
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: or something over There'll be a swimming pool in this place,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: so make it a Danny's again. I'm not sure how
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I feel about this. Well, you don't have a say
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in it, Coop, you don't have to say it's I
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: bet it's not gonna be as nice as this though,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine. Well, I can go check it out
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: if you want. I want to go check it out.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Let's go find it during the break.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I don't know if we have enough time
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: for that. We'll see anyway, right, it is the Ben
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Malor Show. As we press on and on and on
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: and on, and you know what that means, Well, it's
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: let's say hello a movie man, Matt first and then
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the game. Hello movie man, Matt. Welcome activated.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: I heard moving. You're moving to a new studio. Immediately
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: I was.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Activated, So that means you're going to have to come
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: back again, and that'll be the third different studio. Although
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: we were actually originally upstairs. When the network started, we
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: were upstairs, so it's a return to our old stopping grounds.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: So I wanted to check in on this robo umpire deal.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: Here my old man, who once famously in Lorena could
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: do some deep dive research. Once famously there was a
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: drop on this called you a buffoon. However, my old man,
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: who is ninety four and walks with the cane, is
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: doing a victory dance somewhere because he has been preaching
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: for thirty years that the technology exists for automated umpiring.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: So somewhere today he is very happy.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Well I'm glad he's happy, and I hope he enjoys it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: It's just the beginning. So it's only going to get
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: more intrusive, and that's just the way it's gonna be.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: How San Diego, by the way, everything okay there, that's great.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: It's great.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: And there are photos. But if you want to see
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I took a few photos of the mobile billboard.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: I saw them post it.
