• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So our lead to begin the week. We have survived
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: another weekend. We have made it through yet another weekend,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and here we are back at it again. So we
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will save the mega mega mega mega money that was
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: handed out late in the night on Sunday into Monday
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to a certain professional athlete. We'll save that for the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: B block. But we begin with the big story of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the weekend, which will continue and conclude on Monday night.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Our lead from Yes, the rare and appropriate college basketball world.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: That's right, the Final Four played over the weekend and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: there were two games. So you see there's four teams
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and then there's two games, and then it leads to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: one game which is on Monday night. But Walter Clayton
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Junior thirty four points and he had five three pointers.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's a lot, right, that's five three pointers. So I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: played very well, and at halftime it seemed like Auburn
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was doing pretty well. Seemed like Auburn was in pretty
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: pretty good shape in the first half. And then they
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: had to play the second half and Florida rallied from
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that early deficit and they beat their Southeastern Conference rival.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So down goes Auburn. And then you had Houston, a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: team that was not built to come back, right, it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was not built to come back. Houston, a team built
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on defense, and the defense wiping away a fourteen point deficit,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: down fourteen, and then they come back final eight minutes
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of the late game on Saturday. There and Cooper Flagg,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: who's projected to be the top player in the NBA
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: eyes and all that, and the Blue Devils they choked.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: There's no other way say it. They gagged, they suffocated.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Duke choked, embarrassing, absolutely embarrassed. That's the story and the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: downfall of Duke. The fact that the Blue Devils somehow
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: managed to go with one field goal over the final
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ten and a half minutes of the game, which seemings impossible.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You're a number one seed and you have ten and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a half minutes with one field goal. They ended up
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: one of nine from the floor down the stretch. Now
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: they did have some foul shots that they made and whatnot,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: but one of nine, one of nine, all right, So
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question is as follows, So does
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the Duke loss choke if you will overshadow the Houston
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: comeback in the game was played there the late game
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in the Final four. So I've got purple suit, Aroma,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and Minecraft, and we will combine all of these things
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: together and we will make a nice tropical vacation, which
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: is what Duke can go on right now, a nice
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: tropical vacation. So to answer the question, listen, I'm nodding
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, you can't see me unless you're watching
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the clip on the on the YouTube, but I'm nodding
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, absolutely right. That the better story is
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in the losing locker room. As we've often said, the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Blue Devils b l e w' di it. They blew it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: They blew it. Wow. They were favored. They had a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: seemingly insurmountable lead. He said, well, it's only fourteen points. Well, again,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: everything about Houston was they're not very good offensively, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: if they have to play from behind, they're gonna get porked.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna be able to come back. And so
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you look at all that and said, well, okay, that's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: why they play again, that's why they play the game.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So right, that's what has happened. Doesn't guarantee that's going
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to continue. It happened. The Cougar's not built, not built
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for coming back, right, not built for coming back and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all that and offensively challenged quad and certainly they weren't
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: aesthetically pleasing, even in that stretch where Duke only made
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: one particular field goal. They weren't cooked, you know, they
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: fell behind, they were not cooked because Duke said, anything
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you can do, we can do better, and we will
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: suck more than you. And that's why they play the games.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: That's why at any given Final four Saturday, all right now,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: page two, how much will what happened in the final
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: seconds of that game, the Duke game, how much of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that will the struggles I'm talking about the struggles of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Cooper Flag. How much of the struggles of Cooper Flag
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: down the stretch will impact his NBA future, because that's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: really what this is about, right, And you know you're
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: kind of into college basketball, but you're really not that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: into it, right. So the question is he was not
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: good down the stretch. He had a big second half,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: but in the final seconds, final minutes, he was not
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: mister big if you will here. So the question is
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: what kind of impact will that have on Cooper Flag's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: NBA future. So it's an odd situation. I think we're gonnagree.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's a very odd situation. The reason it is an
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: odd situation is because all the hype and yet the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: numbers were solid Cooper Flag. If you look at the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: numbers and you didn't watch the game and the context
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of when those numbers came, he'd say, well, why even
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: mentioning this. I don't understand why you even bring this up.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: What are you dumb? I read the box score. I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: looked at the box score on my phone. I know
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: what's going on, you moron. And in the second half,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Cooper Flag had nineteen points. I think Duke as a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: team had like thirty three or something like that in
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: this half, So they had more than half of their
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: points in the second half. He had three rebounds, a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: couple of assists, he had a steal, he had a block,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: all of those things had all of those thing was
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: five of eleven from the floor, is perfect from the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: foul line in the final twenty minutes of the game.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So you're like, Okay, there's no gripe, there's nothing, there's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: no there there. You can't really complain about that. But
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he is mister everything you've told me. He's mister everything.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: He's the next prodigy in basketball. And Duke's offense was
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the ice machine, right, it was the ice machine, ice cold.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Just one made basket in the final ten minutes and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: thirty one seconds, and it wasn't like every shot was
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: locked down by Houston. There were some very makeable baskets
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that were not made in that stretch. But that last
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: shot by Cooper flag if you saw the game or
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: heard it, if you're blind, you know what I'm talking
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: about there, that turnaround jumper with eight seconds left, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on that shot, I literally watched it and I was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of Buddy and mine. We were watching the game. We
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lost both pets, but we were watching the game and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: watching that and it was like, hey, I can see
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet. Cooper Flag is in the vomit comet
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: on that shot way short right, not an airball, but
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: did not have enough, did not have enough to get there.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Now in terms of the NBA future and the damage
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to Cooper Flag, looking at that part of it as
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the NBA draft will be here before you know it
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: in the summertime. So as a batman's nemesis, the guy
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that wears the purple suit with the green vest noticed
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the joker would say in terms of the impact on
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Cooper Flag, that would be what zero, That would be
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: zip zilch, nada, as in no big deal because you've
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: got teams right now like the Utah Jazz and the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Washington Wizards and the Charlotte Hornets who are trying to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: outsuck each other. They're like, I can suck more than you.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I am the king of all suck, and it's a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: suck battle to get that number one big and they
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: don't even guarantee it because of the lottery, and according
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to Lebron James, it's all rigged anyway. So there's no
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: team in Maine for Cooper Flag to go to. They
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: don't have an NBA team, So like, what's the greater
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: story Cooper Flag goes out to Utah and saves the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Mormon Jazz or where the Hornets. I mean, that's a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that's a bad looking team also, so but it's a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it's a race to get lottery balls to draft this guy.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: In the fact that he missed a shot that you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: would think you could make. If your God's gift to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: basketball does not take away from the NBA. It does though,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: there is a little bit here, despite the marketing build
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: up with Cooper Flag, there's a little something where you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: down the line, you're like, well, if he keeps missing
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: shots and pressure situations, this will stack on top of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that like hotcakes. You'll you'll put it on top there
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the the vanishing act. For now, it's a one off
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for now, out to one off. But if you do
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it again when you get in the NBA, and this
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: becomes a thing where he's like, well, remember back in college,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you missed that shot at the end there for Duke,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and so that's that's an issue. Now. Meanwhile you have
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the Duke coach, John Shire. Now he took the blame,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that's coaching one old run. He took the blame for
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Duke's collapse. There for the fact that they completely fell
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: off the table. That was a fall off job. Here.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: In fact, we have a little bit. I believe we
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: have some audio here. Here's John Shire, the Duke coach,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: commenting from the Final four game over the weekend. Here
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: on what went wrong? Take a listener.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to process still wind. You know, I
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: thought our guys did an incredible.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Job the whole game. No they didn't.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: And you know, I thought we had some good looks.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: What didn't finish. You have to give Houston a ton
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: of credit. And then still even with that, you know
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: we have the lead, you know, with under a minute ago,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and I couldn't be more proud. I'm not.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm about to hang our head.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is part of it. You got to
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: you gotta handle the wins, and you got to handle
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: the losses too. And in a moment like this, you
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: know we're this close, and you know we felt we
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: were the best team. The best team tonight was Houston.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So your team went ten minutes and thirty seconds without
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a with one field one field, and you thought you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: played well. Okay, I guess I'm in a different dimension.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Here's one more. This is the money quote here here's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the coach of Duke john Shire commenting on the fact
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that he screwed up. He's a bad coach. He fed
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: up and he's terrible.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I feel we were one of one in terms of
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the way we put this thing together. It's been a
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: magical ride. We believe with everything we had we were
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: gonna win a championship here, and so I'm just I
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: feel for them because they're competitive and they're going to
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: think about plays. I didn't help them enough, and that's
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: that's where my mind goes, and I can be more
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: proud of them, though, you got it, this is part
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: This is part of it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, you know, we haven't been in a lot of
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: those games, and we've watched a lot of game situations
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: and practiced, and that's where I wish I could have
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: helped him more.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: All Right, So he's that's classic, Hey, blame me, I'm
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the guy, he's my fault. Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to do that out of the coaching handbook.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I guess coach k left that behind. You're supposed to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: do that. He did that, So do you blame play
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the blame game? You got John Schier over here, you
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: got Cooper flag like he's right here. You got Cooper
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: flag right here. And then I keep I got some
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: feedback in the email from like the Duke fan.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It's bad luck, man, we got hosed by the referees.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Bad luck. Okay, So all of those three options playing
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the blame game, you got the coach, you got the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: star player, or just bad luck. So I'm going to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: eliminate bad luck. Did they get hosed on a call
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that should not have been made a foul call in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Cooper flag, Yes, But the reason I'm not going to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: use that as an alibi for Duke, you have never
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: been in a position the game should not have been
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a one possession game at that point where a referees
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: call impacts the outcome of the game as a bad
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: job by you. You fed up, you screwed up, screw
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you right. You should not have been in that position.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And while Cooper Flagg is the headliner, and as we mentioned,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he's going to run off to the NBA and we'll
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: maybe never hear of him again if he plays with
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets of the Utah Jazz, but that pungent aroma,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that nice pungent. It's like a cloud of sulfur if
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you will, is going to follow John Shire around, cause
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this is supposed to be the forever. Get Greg, you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: get the Duke job, You're supposed to have that job
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: for a long time. That's a legacy job. That's a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: long term job. That's not a temporary job where you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: run off to the NBA. You're supposed to be there.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It's one of the we're told it's one of the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: great jobs in college basketball, and you paid a lot
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of money and you're in the spotlight and all that stuff,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and so flag he goes out to the NBA and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he'll make a king's ransom and with endorsements and all
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that stuff, and it'll be just a footnote this game. Again,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: as we said, it'll be a footnote unless he continues
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to do this in the NBA, losing, missing shots at
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the end of games, and then it circles back. For now,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it's an insignificant mention. It is a minor detail. But
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: for John Shier, the coach at Duke, following coach k
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: unacceptable and it's one of those things where he's like, Okay,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it's gonna shadow box him, like poltergeist. If Duke does
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: not win in the near futures, well what about you?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You had the top player in the draft. This guy
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: got two lottery picks on that Duke team and all that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So until they win the championship, it's gonna kind of
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: follow him around there. And the good news is a
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Duke you've got a lot of nil money. You've got
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the bright lights, the spotlight and all that. A weaponized roster.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Whoever like the top All Americans in high school, if
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: they want to want the best and the nice aura,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: they would go to do. Maybe it's all about the bag.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: They might go somewhere, all right, now, last word, quick gray, quick, late,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: all right, so what is your level of interest? Let's
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: get right to it. What's your level of interest in tonight?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Since Monday night? Here championship game of college basketball. You've
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: got Florida on one side, the Gators a number one.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: You've got Houston a number one one versus one yet again,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and that is for all the marbles, as they like
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to say. So if you listened to the show last week,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you know that I wanted to see Auburn and Duke.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I'm told they will not be playing a third place game.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: There is no third place game between Auburn and Duke,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: so that is a buzzkill. I would argue that this
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is not must see TV. That is not what we're
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: gonna describe this as at all. Are we gonna watch? Yes,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I have a talk show to so I will watch
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the game for talk radio reasons. On Monday night, I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: will be watching. Am I going to be excited about it?
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: No?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: On the Malard scale of interest one to ten, with
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: ten being I can't wait, I am at at two.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I'm at at two on the Malord scale of interest.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just not giddy. Not that I need to be
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: giddy to watch these games. I'm just not. It's low
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: priority viewing. Again, I've got a job, and so it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: like the worst problems to have. It's mediocre programming. The
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: other problem is you've got it's kind of like playing
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: this National Championship game despite having two number one seeds
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in it. It's like playing Minecraft and it's the dungeon
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: known as the Starless Night. It's a starless Night situation
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: is because you really you have the zero one and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: two are the numbers zero one and two, So the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: zero is the number of Florida and Houston players that
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: have first round NBA grads. There's not a single player
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that will be playing in the National Championship Game that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: NBA talent evaluate is dean worthy of being drafted in
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the first one first round? Not one? All right, So
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that's the first thing. Uh. Then one would be the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: player from Houston who there's one guy, Jojo who's projected
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to be a second round pick on Houston. And then
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Florida's got Walter Clayton Junior in the center, that big
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: lug of a guy, the lumbering Alex Conden. Those guys
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: are projected as second round picks. So you've got that. Uh.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And I checked on DraftKings sportsbook and Florida is a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: one point favorite, so it's real and they don't even
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna I mean, one point is nothing, right,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: It's like who cares one point? So Florida's favored by
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: one going into the championship game. Will take your calls

  Speaker 1: if you're a low information fan, uh, they made us say.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And I didn't see a second of the game, but
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: it's a regular season game. Who the hell's watching that?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I guess you were. You must have nothing going on
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to go out and see the sun a little bit,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: get outside. I mean, what's wrong with you?
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Get a life, you know, get a get a real job.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Tammy and vegas right, since she's enjoying her birthday weekend
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, and he says, I know a Mallard does
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: not do any birthday shadows. Well, what kind of sounds
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Tammy like you're trying to get me to do a
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: shout out? And I've met you you're at the Vegas
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: meet and greet there, and you know we are not
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: a morning Zoo show. We don't get paid like a
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: morning Zoo show. We don't get promoted like a morning
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Zoo show. You know, the company does the The company
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: does these ads in the radio trade papers. They have
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: every show on Fox Sports Radio except our show. They
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: won't even include our show. They're so yeah, there's they
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: put ads in the trades for Fox Sports Radio and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: they have the whole line up except that's our show
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and Jason Smith Show. So the two shows that are
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: like the ugly red headed step children of Fox Sports Radio.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: They're so embarrassed they want even promote our show. It's hilarious.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I have buddies of mine and Rated that will send
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: us like every time these ads run, they'll send me
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the phones. Why are you not Yes, I don't know.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're embarrassed. I don't blame them. I'd be embarrassed too.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I think it was just the weekday lineups, though.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: We're part of the weekday Lara. I don't know if
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: he knows what we're actually hard of it. We're actually on.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: It is Monday, Lrada.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Do you understand we are on more affiliates than any
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: of these other shows. You understand that we are literally
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: we are on more stations overnight, So you know, yes,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: would it really kill them to put the photo in there?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I was. I don't want to get
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: in a conversation about it. But Tammy's like, hey, you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: know he wants a shout out, and we know why
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: would we do a shout out. We're not We're not
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a morning show. We're not even a daytime show. Like,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: we don't even we don't exist around here in the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Please start a petition. Yeah, nature Boy writes and says,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: big story of the weekend, The Giants are your NL
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: West leaders as of today. Yes, if only the season
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: ended today, the Agandas would rule the roost in Major
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. Unfortunately, they have to play about eight gazillion
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: more games. Eight gazillion more games they have to play.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: That's that's right, My goodness, my goodness. All right, we'll
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: take some calls. It is a calling shoe professially, Before
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: we take some calls, I did want to rant a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: big story that broke within the last couple of hours
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: here in the overnight. A major major baseball signing. Vladimir
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior is off the market, as the Toronto Blue
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Jays have said, you know what, we like you, we
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: want you, We're gonna pay you. You hear this, You
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: did not, all right? So the Toronto Blue Jays have
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: agreed to a what is being reported here in the overnight,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a fourteen year contract for.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: Five hundred million, five hundred million dollar extension for the
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: He's twenty six years old and he's had a career
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: where he's had some really amazing season at forty eight
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: home runs a couple years back. That was twenty twenty
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: one for the Toronto Blue Jays. And if you look
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: at the NERD stats, which is what these contracts are
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: based on, Vladie Guerrero Junior is thirty two percent better
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: based on the NERD stats than the average hitter adjusted
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: for ballparks, adjusted for ballparks. So the contract works out
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to be five hundred million. What is that in layman's terms?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Average annual value which is what everyone's all horny about.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Average annual value for Vladimir Gerro Junior thirty five points
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: seven million. It's good money. If you can get it
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and there are no reported deferrals, you don't say reporting
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: so far is that none of the money is deferred.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: It's all right there. And unlike the Otani contract, which
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: is deferred to like you know, ninety years from now,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: this is not. And so he is. If it depends
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: on how you break it down, like the spin early on,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the spin is all right. So Vladimir ger Junior his contract,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: if you based on the average annual value with Toronto,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: it is the second ridgest contract in baseball history based
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: on that, right behind one Soto and his seven hundred
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and sixty five million. Said, well, what a minute. Altani
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: got seven hundred million, But I remember that's deferred a
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: lot of that, Aaron judge three hundred and sixty million.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And so, which teams are most upset about Vladimir Guro
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Junior signing a fourteen year extension which will be the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: rest of his career. He will not have another meaningful
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: contract other than this fourteen year contract, assuming there are
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: no escape portals in the contract. So I would say
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the teams that are most upset by this are the Yankees,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: who had been positioning to acquire Vladimir Guerriro Junior at
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline if he hadn't agreed to a contract
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: at Toronto, so that's off the table. And I would
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: also think the Angels like the idea of this romanticism,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: that Vladimir Gariro Junior would follow in his footstep the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: footsteps of his pops and go to the Angels much
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: like his dad did, and then save the Angels morbid franchise,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: although Ferkdog tells me the Angels off to the greatest
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: start in franchise history, So the Halos are back. But
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I would say the Yankees are one the Angels, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: then maybe the Mets, although that's not as sure a thing,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but the Mets were supposedly going to be a bitter
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: for Vladimir Geriro Junior, so he gets a massive contract.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And the way these contracts work, I've said it all along.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: To justify the contract, you have to win one World Series.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: So if you win one World Series, if the Blue
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Jays win the World Series in the next fourteen years
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and Vladimir Gero Junior is a central part of it,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: it's worth it. Like Mookie Betts signed a massive extension
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, they've won two championships worth the contract.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Shoeil Tani signed a seven hundred million dollar contract with
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the Dodger. They won a championship worth the contract, right,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: big deal. Aaron Judge signed that big contract with the Yankees.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: They haven't won a championship, not worth the contract. So
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you gotta win one. You gotta be the central figure
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: on a team that wins the championship. And if you
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: don't do that, it ain't worth it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: And you feel like you gotta win more than one.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: For Otani, that's a very expensive contract. No, No, one's
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: all you need because the Japanese money coop. All right,
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: you know how much money the Dodgers are milking out
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: of the Japanese market because of Otani, right, I mean
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: money is pouring in.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Never mind, I don't want to talk about that.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just pointing that out anyway. It is the Ben
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Mallor Show and Nott's sake a call. Let's say hello
