  Speaker 1: this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox Man
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: possible in part by our friends at tire Rack. For
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers find
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: com the way tire buying should be. So I made
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a last minute editorial decision. It's gonna start with some
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: baseball stuff, but I'll push that back, push it back
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: now till later. And there are some reasons for that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that later, but I'll begin I love
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you that is not one of the reasons, but we
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: will begin with GQ. When you think overnight talk radio,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you think GQ magazine. So yeah, well we go where
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the stories are and a couple of times a year,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of times a year, GQ magazine a feature
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and athlete and they they have to put something little
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: spicy in there. You gotta put something spicy because who
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the hell reads GQ magazine? Who reads magazines at all anymore?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It's basically a website, So they have to throw something
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in there. And Travis Kelcey took center stage. When you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: think GQ, you think Travis Kelcey. Well, there's a guy
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that's done on one to eighty in his left. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see this, then maybe not. In a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: cover story for GQ, Travis Kelsey has spilled his guts, yes,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: all about his career, that little singing girl that he's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: dating and all that. Now, Kelsey was brutally honest allegedly
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: these things. But the quotes are there. So Travis Kelcey
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: about the dimp? Can you do the dimp? How low
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: can you go? How low can you go? The production
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. If you've not been paying attention to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years, Travis Kelcey has been going down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: down down, and the rock bottom was a wretched puke
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: can your mouth performance in the Super Bowl where it
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: looked like he had been partying all week on Bourbon
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Street and had nothing, nothing for the game. It was
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: one of the great embarrassing moments in Super Bowl history,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the no show by Travis Kelcey against the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: who man handled him, pushed him around. But that's just
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a small sliver of what has been going on. Kelsey's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: production has been lacking the last couple of years, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he has revealed the reason behind the slip, slip, slip,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and fall in production, his lack of performance the decline
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City. He said, quote, I think it might
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: have slipped a little bit, because, by the way, a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: little bit, how about a lot? I says it might
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: have slipped a little bit this quote. I did have
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit more focus, Kelsey said, on trying to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: set myself up, and opportunities came up where I was excited,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Kelsey said, to venture into a new world of acting
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and being an entertainer. Kelsey said. He went on to say,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I don't say this as I shouldn't have done it,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: meaning Kelsey's proud of the fact that he's hurt the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: job that he had in Kansas City. Team let the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: team down. Kelsey's not upset that he did that at all.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: He says, I don't say that this I shouldn't have
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: done it. I'm just saying that my work ethic is such.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Kelsey said that I have so much pride in how
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I do things that I never want the product to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: tail off. And I feel like these past two years,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Kelsey said, I have not been to my standard close.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Quote Okay, so let's discuss. That's the money quote, So
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we'll discuss. We'll jump off that and talk about that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: particular quote right there. So question for the esteem Panel,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: which you are part of, chief star Travis Kelsey saying
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: his last two seasons, his last two seasons have not
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: been up to his standard amid his acting career, which
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is going on right now. So how does that sound
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to you? How does that sound to you? So I've
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: got green juice, Halloween, and rooster, and we're going to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to make a delicious cookie Sunday with extra little chips
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of chocolate chip cooking in there. And we've got some
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream. But then we'll mix in some different
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: toppings on top of that. Be just delicious. All right.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So A my first thought on this is nothing screams.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Nothing screams. Hey, I'm still football guy. I want you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to know I am still football guy. Then posing in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, three thousand dollars pants on GQ and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: wearing a wig, that's football guy. That is modern football guy.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Just ask the Bears quarterback. I don't know. Maybe Kelsey
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: had his nails painted on the GQ thing too, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: don't know. Now we appreciate, we do. We appreciate Travis
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Kelsey's honesty. We want that he's admitting the things that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: we have pointed out. And of course anytime you point
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: this out the fanboys in Kansas City, you don't know
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Kelsey's fine, they're just double teaming. Yeah, okay,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Now Kelsey's admitting you're all a bunch of idiots that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he wasn't working as hard. He just wasn't right. And
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is it's not easy being Taylor Swift's arm candy.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It's not that job is not that easy. He's now
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: become Kelsey America's favorite Golden Retrievers. It's just hilarious. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so there he is right, and the last two years
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: el sucko for the Chiefs. It's the Hollywood Vortex, which
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is undefeated. That starts out simple enough, just one acting. Hey, Travis,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it's your agent here. Can we we got a gig
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: for you. Can you fly out to La We want
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to do this thing is yeah, just take a couple
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of days. Sure, I'll do it, no problem. Next thing,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you're doing a game show. Then for some reason,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you're playing a waiter in an Adam Sandler movie for
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: no apparent reason, and so he's morphed in traps Kelsey
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to the Hollywood. I guess the NFL version nothing the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: NFL version of the Rock. He's just lacking some of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the workouts because the Rock still works out. But apparently
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Kelsey let let himself go a little bit. Now, this
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: is classic that Travis Kelcey admitted publicly with no shame
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in his game that yeah, I lost, I have lost
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a stab, But I want you to know I am
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: really good at a table read. I mean, I f
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and kill it at a table read. I am so
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: freaking good. Now, certainly are there others that have gone
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: down that road and been able to pull it off?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Like I know? This is more of a modern thing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I don't remember Jerry Rice with the forty nine ers
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: back in the day leaving the Niners to go do
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a reality show and saying, hey, mister Montana, I'll be back.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I gotta do this show. I'll be back in a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: couple of days. I don't remember that. Maybe it happened,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But Kelsey's spending a lot of time
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I guess doing that meathead podcast that he does, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: they're doing. Do they rehearse that? I don't know. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: don't listen to it, but I know I know he's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: admitting he's not really doing the two minute drill practice
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: as much. So listen Kelsey, who has recently been better
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: doing like some kind of cameo in a Hallmark Christmas
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: movie about the Chiefs and rather than the Super Bowl,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of course, I want you to know you taking a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: bowel movement and flushing and wiping more successful than Travis
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Kelce in the most recent Super Bowl. So he's in
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: his mid thirties. The cliff is coming fast, it's right there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And instead of fighting and throwing haymakers at Father Time,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: he's letting the guy move in and Father Times now
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: doing some redecoration is what he's doing here. And he's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: got the double whammy, Oh, the double whammy, the double
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: he he's aging, and he's spending more time trying to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: perfect his podcast and procure his next Hollywood gig. Then
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: whether or not he needs to block or go out
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and catch pas like you don't really worried much about that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And pretty soon it will not be long. We're all
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: going to see Travis Kelsey show up to Chiefs practice
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and he'll be wearing sunglasses maybe it's already happened. But
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you know those a holes and entertainment to where sunglasses
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: indoors those people and they sip some kind of weird
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: green juice that they heard about from some shaman somewhere
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and then they call everyone, babe, what's up babe? That
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: kind of thing right, And then Mahomes in the cartoon
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: bubble in my head, Patrick Mahomes, Mahomie. He's like, dude,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: all I'm really into is what a Burger? What are
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you doing? I just bought some what a Burgner franchise?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: What the f is wrong with you? And Mahomes will
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: be looking around, where's my tight end? Where's my tight end?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And someone will come over from the chiefs and say, hey, Patrick,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he's right now. He's on set with some Jennifer Aniston
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: thing or something like that. I don't know, I don't
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: know what that is, but they're doing something. So this
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: is what happens with Hollywood Kelsey. You got Hollywood Kelsey,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and that's not my tight end anymore. He's an entertainer now,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: staying in Hollywood. But turning the page from the Travis
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Kelsey story, we go to Hollywood Royalty. Denzel Washington, Denzel Washington,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: who is not a happy camper. He's upset with the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Do you see this the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: legend of many uber successful films. He was on some show,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Old Morning Guy I don't know the name of is
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smiths got some show. I don't even what
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: watches that anyway, It talked about the Cowboys that came
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: up in conversation, and Denzel Washington suggested that Jerry Jones
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: his handling of Micah Parsons, who hasn't signed that extension,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the situation was a disservice to the fans, disservice to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the Cowboy fans. And the quote is as follows from
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Denzel Washington said, he's not thinking about us, the fans.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Jerry said, he is thinking about his pockets. It's like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: there's the box office and then there's the Oscars, Denzel
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Washington said, And you ain't been to the Oscars in
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a minute. At the end of the day, I always
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: love when somebody says at the end of the day.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Love that he says at the end of the day.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Denzel Washington said, I'm still gonna wear my hat with
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the star on it, he said. Now. Washington then tried
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to dot the I Denzel Washington by saying all money
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: ain't good money, Jerry, and then he moved on to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: promote some crappy movie. All right, so question, will Jerry
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Jones change his cowboy ways because he has now been
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: publicly called out by Hollywood legend Denzel Washington. Right, so
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: let me start by this. I'll say this, so, unlike
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: your normal run of the mill, I don't know, overnight gasbag,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Denzel Washington has gravitas obviously a little bit more than me.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: A little bit more than me, uh, just a little bit.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So nevertheless, like Jerry Jones, he is not. Let me
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: say this from the top of the mountain, Jerry Jones
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: is not changing his ways, not because of Denzel Washington
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: or any other Hollywood blowhard. I'm telling you, Denzi Washington.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: He could show up to the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in Jerry's world and pretend it's Halloween. He well talk
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: through Halloween. He can pretend it's Halloween late Halloween. He
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: could dress up in a gladiator outfit and have a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: reading at halftime of Remember the Titans and do some
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of the the lines from that and Jerry would still
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: be in the luxury suite counting how many commas are
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: on the bank statement and the revenue. You see, Jerry
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Jones when you talk about movies, and Denzel was like
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: bragging about the oscars as opposed to the ones that
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: make money. But Jerry Jones has been pretty clear he's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a comic book movie guy. Those are the ones people
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: pay to watch. You know. He's not into the artsy
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: fartsy movie. Jerry wants big, big box office. He wants
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a billion tickets sold worldwide and all that stuff and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: care the critics say, and in the Rotten Tomatoes score
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and all that. Doesn't care about that. See, you think
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he's losing sleeps. He got called out by a big star,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you know, and the Cowboys haven't won Best Picture in
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Comer Jerry Jones, he's the Michael Bay of
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: football management. A lot of explosions, a lot of spectacles,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: cgi all that stuff there, and there's no real storyline
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: in terms of the playoffs other than failure. And there's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: no awards. And Jerry's just going to keep rolling out
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: fast and furious movies because people watch them. The Dallas Drift,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it because it works and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it's a good formula. And here's the other thing. And
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I need to point this out because Denzel said something
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that he lost all credibility with his criticism of Jerry Jones.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Did you notice what he said that he lost everything?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Denzel said he still loves the Cowboys, all right, So
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: it's like put but in a conversation with anything before
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the word butt is it's a lie. So Denzel like,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: he still loves the cowboy. That's the whole point. He's
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: not apathetic. Now, he's not apathetic if he If he were,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: then we'd be having a different conversation. But he's not.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: The Oscar winner is still wearing the hat with the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: star on it. That's a cowboy hat. Jerry got money
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: for that hat. And Denzel's like, hey, you know, he's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: like the guy that sees the sequel. We all know
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: people like this. We all know people like this, the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: guy that sees the sequel to the bad movie franchise
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that made like two good movies back in the nineties.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But you're still watching hoping that they're gonna make something
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: good now And for the cowboys, how about him? Cowboys?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: As long as the stadium is full and the TV
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: ratings are baffo sokka, which they seemingly always are. You know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Jerry's not and there's too old to change anyway. But
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: even if that were the case, he'd consider it. But
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Denzel's going to keep being disappointed every late December and January.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: That's how that's going to go, all right, quickly. The
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: last word here to the land of television the boob
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: tube report card out, report card out. Shedur Sanders, the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: four string quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, made his exhibition
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: debut last week. The Brownies played the Panthers in an
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: exhibition game that somehow drew two point three million viewers,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: had a solid rating, all the key demos, all the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: key demos, big ratings. So can you put Can you
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: put the massive NFL exhibition TV ratings for a Browns
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Titans game into context? So yes, I can put this
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: into context. The Browns and Panthers are bad at football.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: They suck. They combined last year to win eight games
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: between them. Eight. That's it. They went between both. You
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: can mind both, they were eight and twenty six last year.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: There's no star power, there's no juice. They don't have
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: big name coaches, they don't have star players, they have
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: none of the things that you would normally associate with
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: drawing a big audience, and yet they got more people
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to watch that game then the highest rated MLB regular
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: season game, as I understand it, the highest rated regular
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: season baseball game this year, Yankees and Dodgers. Yankees and Dodgers,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: like two point two million. Two point two million, I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: believe was the rating on that. And so that's where
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: we are. A exhibition game between two dog food NFL
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: teams gets better ratings and than the Dodge and the Yankees.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And so that's why the NFL schmucks. The executives there
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: at the NFL, they run around like the banti rooster
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and they've they've got their chest out and they're just
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: chest pumped out and all that stuff, and they've got
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: they know they can serve an inferior product. It's like
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a restaurant and saying, I'm we're going to serve food
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: that has had maggots on it, and people are gonna
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: buy it and they're gonna pay full price for it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And it's just the way it is. And we know
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that no matter what we serve we're good.

• 21:26
  Speaker 1: so or lead. This hour is from baseball. We will
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: address in the B block the B for bad B
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: for bad Dodgers on the field. But another day, another scandal. Now,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: this story blew up. We had mentioned this in a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: previous episode of the show, and it took a life
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: of its own in the hours since we talked about it,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and we just tossed it out here. It is. It's
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: like a boomerang. It's come back again. So if you
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: don't know where I'm going with this, Shohei Otani and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: his agent Nez battle Loo, probably butchering the name, but
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: he has been sued. The agent and Otani, they've both
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: been sued. That's what you need to know about this.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And essentially the argument is that they screwed over a
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: big real estate company, couple of big muckety MUCKs in
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the real estate world in Hawaii, costing these people hundreds
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. The lawsuit filed in the Circuit
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Court of Hawaii where everyone wears Hawaiian shirts. This happened
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: actually last week, but the story just came out in
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the last couple of days, and as we've said, it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: bounced all over the echo chamber here. It's kind of
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: a big deal. In the actual legal documents, the plaintiffs
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: claim that Otani and his agent are saboteurs. They sabotaged
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: a two hundred and forty million dollar real estate venture,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and they had all entered into this and ix nay
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: on the according to the lawsuit, and they're pointing the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: finger at the Dodger Star who was supposed to endorse
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and promote this real estate project, which was actually located
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: on the Big Island. That's the one that not many
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: people go to. The Big Island. The sinse deleted website,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: which at one point was boomint Booming for the project,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: said that Otani would buy a home in this part
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of Hawaii and the Big Island and act as a
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: quote celebrity spokesperson and build a baseball workout facilities on
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the Big Island, clearly trying to get some of that
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: money from Japan to invest in the Big Island of Hawaii.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be a business mogul to know
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: what this is all about. So let us discuss the question.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: You take a couple of steps back and you look
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: at what has happened with Otani the last couple of
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: years as he's joined the Dodgers, and you have to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: ask question with the latest legal issue, is shoh Otani
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: clueless or is he ruthless? All right, those are the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: only options. Clueless is over here and ruthless is over here,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So which one is it? So my observations, I've got
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: teflon construction site and Donkey Kong, and we will combine
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: give you billable hours, which Otani is spending a lot
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: of money on billable hours. So number why said number?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Number? So, assuming the position it's either or one or
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the other. The only two options are Otani is clueless
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: or he's ruthless. Those are the only options. This is
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: like that old aloha means hello and goodbye thing, except
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: this version of aloha means good Buy to your money
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: by by aloha to your money. And imagine if you will,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: buying this group that had all this land, this ocean
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: front property in the big Island there and then finding
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: out that there was a surprise lava flow. Now, this
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: lava flow was not from an actual volcano on the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Big Island. It was from sho Heotani and all that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: So it kind of sounds like that's what's happening. But
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the answer the question, the arrow on this one is
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: pointing towards Otani as ruthless. Right, There's a lot going on,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: like we are not getting the full story here. There's
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that are writing the coattails of Shohotani.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: We're not getting what's really going on. There's a lot
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: of people that are toe liquors as I like to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: call them, that are the beneficiaries of the star power
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: of Otani. I'm just on the sidelines. I'm just observing
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: what's been going on the last couple of years. Just
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: looking at what's been going on, this is another star
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that's got a lot of stuff going on. There's a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: lot of issues here and it's always been that way.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Like Michael Jordan was addicted to gambling. There were some
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: legendary stories that came out after Jordan played for the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls about some of his dalliances with the ladies.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Babe Ruth was a legendary womanizer with the Yankees. Barry
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Bonds was a complete douche and also like the Peds,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: he blew himself up. Looked like a parade in the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. There Thanksgiving Parade with Macy's, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: they all played, and they had their careers and all that.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But everyone's got some dirt on them. Everyone's got some
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: dirt on them. And I also believe everyone's got multiple personality.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: No one's Mother Teresa all the time, and no one's
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the devil all the time. Right, you're somewhere in the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: middle and the guy that you see hitting bombs and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: he hit another home run. Dodgers suck. So they lost
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to the pathetic Angels again. How embarrassing These guys don't
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: even care. More on that in a minute, but it
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: was about all TIMI. So he had a home run
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: late dodge. Of course, Bullpen came in and vomited all
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: over the mound and gave the game to the Angels
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and extra innings. So Otani hits a home run, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you think he's reading the fine print. So the argument
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: is gonna be, well, Tani's a big star and his
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: agent took care of this, and you think he's reading
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: real estate contracts on Hawaiian real estate. Come on, you
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: think he's sitting there reading the zoning laws for the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: big island of Hawaii. Of course not please, right, So
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: then they'll argue he's just clueless. He's just a dumb
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: dumb is what they're going to say. But you combine
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: everything together and you see patternicity. You see the lawsuit
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that took place, and you can sue anyone for anything.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: There's also a gambling scandal that was taking place while
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: he was with the Angels, and there's a buddy of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: his that's in jail for a few years there who
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: took the hit on that, and so Otani is looking
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: like the Teflon don in all this, and The bigger point,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and the point I'm trying to get at, is he
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: is so massive in that industry. He's too big to fail.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: That Otani is the single most important player in Major
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: League Baseball in at least fifty years, likely a lot
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: longer than that. And you're not letting a real estate
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: deal doing Otani. You're not letting a gambling scandal. I
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: don't care if he's betting seventeen parlays in the dugout.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna have Otani go down for that. And
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: so this will end up, as I look into my
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: crystal ball, it will end up as a misunderstanding. It's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: a misunderstanding. There'll be some kind of charity donation, and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: you'll see some commercials on Major League Baseball broadcast. They'll
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: call him a show hey or a loja show a,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and that they'll do that whole thing. I learned one
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: of my professors years ago. There was a professor named
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Chris Carter. He may or may not have played for
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, and he taught me. Chris Carter taught me,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you gotta have a fall guy, gotta have a fall guy.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: So guess what the fall guy originally was Otani's personal assistant,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: but he's translator guy. But he's in jail so she
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: can't use him again. So let's see who's the fall
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: guy gonna be. Let's do some inventory. Well, look around,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: who's the fall guy? And let's see reveal answers, reveal answers.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: The fall guy here is going to be anyone other
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: than Otani, anyone and everyone other than Otani. So will
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: anything come of this? I think I've made my point.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I don't need to flog the dead horse here. Not
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a damn thing will come out of this. Otani will
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: just smile and nod his head and and go out
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and hit fifty home runs. He's got forty three home
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: runs now, so it hit fifty, and the lawsuit will
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: go abra cadabra and will vanish like a Mike tie
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: at a traditional Hawaiian luau. Just gone see you later,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: all right now, staying with the Dodgers, and we're gonna
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: get to the play on the field the minute. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: saw some other comments here that got my attention in
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: recent days, and I wanted to bring them up. The
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Dodgers have a shortstop, not a good one. You want
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a two forty shortstop that sucks. Mookie Bets is your guy.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: So Moogie Bets, who's been an abject failure for the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodger, But in the LA media they won't
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: call him out on that. Guys like David Vasse will
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: kiss his ass. So Mookie Bets very disappointing here in
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and he said of this season, he
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was concerned about the Hall of Fame. He said, once
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: again in the Hall of Fame one day and this
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: will be a blemish on his Hall of Fame resume.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: That was one of the quotes that Mookie Bets had recently.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: How does that one hit you?
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: All?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: So, Moki spoiler alert. If you're talking about the Hall
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of Fame right now, you have another gazillion years on
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: your Dodger contract, right and it's like you're you're already
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: shopping for a retirement condo in Boca and you still
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: got a job to do. Like the Hall of Fame
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: is last I heard Lifetime Achievement award. And that's for
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: when you're sipping lemonade in the rocking chair and you're
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: sixty five years old and you're telling your grandkids back
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: in my day, I went six for six at Coors
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: for you one day. That's what you do. Right now,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you are in the middle of the Big Blue Marathon,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and you are one of the central reasons your team sucks.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Mookie bets congratulations and your worrying about the ribbon. You're
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: running the marathon and you're just beginning the marathon and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you're worried about the finish line ribbon. I wonder what
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: color it is. Spoiler alert. You still have thirteen point
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: one miles to go. You're halfway home, and let's I check.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Baseball's not social media. Nobody really cares if you look
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: good in the snapshot. They don't. And it's think of
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: it like a construction site, right You build your legacy
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: brick by brick, right, break by brick, day by day,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: inning by inning, and you can also tear apart your
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: legacy at the same time. So you're out there, Mookie,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you're stressing because you're on the construction site. You're worried
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: about the blueprints while the cement truck hasn't even parked yet.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Your priorities are a little off on this, and you know,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: it's like you're acting like a pilot flying around and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the concern is, well, the in flight movie he's not
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: started playing it's supposed to play, but yet you're in
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the cockpit and the plane is losing altitude. That's what's
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: going on. The Dodger plane is losing altitude right now,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: and you're worried about what the in flight movie is
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and when it's gonna be played during the flight, and
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: so betts By any way, you slice it is terrible. Listen.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Is he gonna be terrible forever? No? Right, I'm doing
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: a show right now. Today. He sucks. He's horrible, right,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: worst season of his career going back to his days
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: in Boston and the lowest ops of his career. He's
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a two forty hitting shortstop who will often make mistakes
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: on routine plays, and one hundred points lower than his
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: previous career low. So that's not even just a little
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: bit worse. That's like, that's like falling into the Grand Canyon.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Is how bad that is? And you've got to grind
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: through the bad years like that. Everyone's gonna bed be
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: great and you're judged on the Hall of Fame by
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: your whole career and you don't worry about it. And
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Willie Mays had bad years, and Ricky Henderson had some
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: very mid years, and they still got their little plaque
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and Sleepy Cooper'stown. They got that going for them. And
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: you're worried about like a smudge, Mookie Batcher. You're like,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: why I go a little smudge in my suit here?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: And you're not even at the banquet, like you're not
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: even there yet, So who cares?
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: All? Right?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Now? Final point? We go to New York City, the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Big Apple. A lot of chattering baseball because Pete Alonso,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the Polar Bear, ended up breaking the New York Metropolitans
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: franchise home run record as he said, see a later
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: straw and zoom past Darryl Strawberry with career home run
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: number two fifty three. So Peter Alonzo has passed Darryl
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: strawberry by in the Mets record book. However, has Pete
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Alonzo also passed Darryl straw By in the hearts minds
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: of the Mets Fan. So I'm gonna answer this like
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I'm playing Wheel of Fortune. I'm gonna answer this like
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I'm playing Wheel of Fortune. So I'd like an N
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: and can I buy a vowel? I would like to
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: buy an Oh so I want an N. I want
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to buy a vowel. I'd like to have an O
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and sparler alert put those together, slap those together. And
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that's what's that spell No, that spells It spells no.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: That's what it's about. No is what it's most So
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo is the Mets masher, the monster Mets masher.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Right now, He's at the top of the record book.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: And isn't that special? Isn't that cute? That's adorable, Pee Alonzo,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: mister home run derby guy, Pete Alonzo. However, however, you
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: do a side by side compission, you're talking about Darryl Strawberry.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Darryl Strawberry was not a great postseason player. He hit
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: one of the big home runs for the Mets, if
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you remember, if you're old enough or you went back
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and watch the six playoffs. But this is not a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: moment where you're passing the torch. This is not Strawberry
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: symbolically passing the mantle to Peter Alonzo. It's just not.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: And it's like saying, well, broccoli is going to replace
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: donuts as a food that sells at the county Fair.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to sell more broccoli this year than donuts.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Broccoli will be more popular. Well, no, obviously not. They're
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: not even the same food group for people to go
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to the fair. And Peter Alonzo's broccoli obviously, and strawberry
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: is a nice donut. And Daryl was not just a
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: guy hitting those home runs back you know, a million
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: years ago. Forty I can't believe that forty years almost
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: has been. But he will even just hitting the home run.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Think about Strawberry, and I'm not he sucked it with
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It was embarrassing. He was doing more coke
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: than hitting the baseball when he was with the Dodger.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: But he was the straw Daryl Strawberry that stirred the
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: big apple cocktail. I mean, he was it. And you
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: know he did everything, hit home runs, he'd throw guys out,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: He you know, snorted cocaine off the hookers, took us
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: the whole thing playing for those eighty eighty nineteen eighties Mets.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: And uh, smooth swing. I just smooth, elegant watching Strawberry
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: swing the bat and brought the drama tablet. Him and
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Dwight Gooden, we're always in the tableaus back before social media.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: So and it's just the eighty six Mets. They were parabolic,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the eighty six Mets here and you think about wild
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Bill Hitcock with the bat in his hands, a mythical
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: character there and a poker chip on the other hand.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And you got Darryl Strawberry. He was like Donkey Kong
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: launching barrels for the for the Mets, and he got
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the lines. And listen, Pete Scott as many home runs
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: as Strawberry. You know, he's a home run king for
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the Mets right now and all that stuff. I just
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: look at him, like a lot of empty calories? Is
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: that fair? I think that's fair. There's a lot of
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: empty calories with Pee Alonzo hitting home runs and he's
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: like eating a big supersized box of twinkies. Like, all right,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: you ate the twinkies. That's good. They taste good. You're
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: feeling pretty good at the moment you're eating them. And
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: then when you take some time and they settle into
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: your stomach and you're sitting there and you're wondering, man,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: what did I eat? What did I do? Like? What
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: is that The Mets have not reached the peak of
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the mountains since nineteen eighty six. The last that eighty sixteen,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the last time they won. Pee Alonzo was born in
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, eight years after they had their last
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: championship as the Mets. And is he a talented guy? Yes,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: of course, pet A Lonzo is a talented player. And
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: it's cool that he did a lot of the home
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: run derby's and all that stuff where a lot of
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: these other a lot of these other Dingleberries would not
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: do it because they're a hooses and Alonzo would be
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: in it, and that's great. And he hits some home
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: runs in the playoffs. Sure, does he light up the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: room in the playoffs? Does he have the fear factor
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: ped A lions on the plaf No, not really. It's
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: more like a lava lamp which does light up. There's
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit of glow there. Yeah, nothing nothing magical.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: And so Strawberry the point of all this, he's still
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: the king and still the guy that is in Mets,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the mythological part of the Mets. You know, he's the
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: guy that rides in on the white horse, Daryl Strawberry
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and Pete Alonzo's kind of the guy that shows up
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: to the Mets barbecue. The franchise barbecue. You got strawberry
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and a white horse. And then Alonzo comes in there
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: and he's got a paper bag and he's got a
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: metal tin of potato salad, and he says, hey, guys,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I brought the potato salad. You know who wants potato salad?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Nobody likes potatoes. I remember it. Anyone likes potato sounds disgusting.

  Speaker 1: Cool Bolo.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: The Athletic has released their latest quarterback rankings, compiled from
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: a panel of GM's coaches and other executives. They have
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Brock Perty at number fourteen. Now, some are looking at
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: that as a snub. Do you think that's about right
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: for Party?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I would say it's too high for brock Party. He
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: does not have pinpoint accuracy, he does not have great mobility.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Those things are put together based on your skill set,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't elevate his teammates. It's the other way around.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: So I think that's very generous to have him a
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: system quarterback that high. I think that's a little much.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Actually it's too high.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Next, for the first time in the school's history, Texas
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: is the AP preseason number one. Do you think they
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: are deserving of the ranking or is this just arch
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Manning hype? Well, it's the whole preseason ranking thing is dumb.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: It's you know, it's all about I know, do it
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: for TV, the razzle dazzle.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything, and Texas has had a lot of hype,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and arch Manning is very important to the business of
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: college football, so that's why they did it. Next, Kyle
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Schwarber continues to light it up for the Phillies.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: Now twenty games over five hundred, they're ahead of the
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Mats in the NALY is a comfortable lead. Ben, Do
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: you think Swarburn has any chance of challenging Otani for
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: the MVP?
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: No, he's He's a better offensive player this year than Otani.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: He's second in home runs in RBIs. But no, Otani's
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: because of the pitching stuff. He's gonna win. How do
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: we do? What do we do? That's a pass? I won,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: of course I won.
