• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour. Now, I was not going
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to start with this, and then I said, well, this
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is such a wonderful quote, we gotta go with it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So the latest is from the watch party for Lebron James.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Did Lebron James sign late at night? Did he pick
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: his new destination in the NBA?
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: No?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: So the reason I'm bringing this up, and really the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: only reason I'm bringing this up, is Rich Paul. You
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: know Rich Paul, the guy that's been riding Lebron's gravy
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: train true for years, writing those Coattails of Lebron, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he forcefully dismissed Rich Paul the speculation surrounding Lebron James
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in free agency, saying nobody knows nothing. Rich Paul said,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and arguing that most rumors are baseless. So I just
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: saw this or not? Perhaps not now? Rich Paul rejecting
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the premise that Lebron is intentionally dragging out his latest
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: decision for publicity. Rich Paul insisting the process is not
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: about attention. It is not about attention, saying Lebron is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: simply taking his time, the time needed to make the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: right basketball decision. Now, this is not part of it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: He did not include a wink wink nod. That was
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: not included. But that is a good jumping off point.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. Rich Paul says, Lebron James
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is not taking his time in free agency here in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: his forties to get attention. He's waiting to make the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: right basketball decision. So which way are you leaning on
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: this one? Captain Obvious. I've got Harley Davidson, Bellevue Hospital,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and Chihuahuah and we will combine all of these things
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to have a big bowl
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of lucky charms. That's what we're gonna have. So a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul telling us that Lebron is not seeking attention
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in free agency is premium top shelf irony? Is it not?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Paul's complaining about the rumor mill of the NBA. Rich
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Paul the agent. It's kind of like Starbucks complaining about coffee.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't make a lot of sense if Starbucks said, you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: we're really anti coffee. Well you're Starbucks. Well, I know
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we're star Wars, but we don't support COVID. Why don't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you support Covee, Well, we just don't support it. Well, okay,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you're an agent. And Lebron's entire career has been all
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: about the rumor of the speculation. All I said, oh,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: we don't support that. Really, it is the literal lifeblood
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of the NBA, and many agree it's much more interesting
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: than the regular season and even most of the playoffs.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But let's be real here. Lebron he knows the landscape.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He's fully aware of the landscape, and the large part
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of the musical chairs game has already ended, and Lebron,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: if you've not noticed, hasn't signed with anybody. He could
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: have decided this weeks ago if you just wanted to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: get it over with, didn't want to get it over with. Instead,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he's simply enjoying a nice drive in the slow lane.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And what road is he cruising down. Oh, that's right,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Glory Road. Lebron loves going down Glory Road. Harley Davidson, which, oh,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: by the way, he named attention hog. That's what he did.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You know that? Yeah, because I made it up. You
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: didn't know that. I'm assuming if he had a Harley Davidson,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Lebron would name it attention Hockey. His favorite streaming service
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: must be Peacock because he's strutting and shimmering and he's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: got his feathers in the air everywhere with that look
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: at me mating dance from Lebron. And meanwhile, you've got Cleveland, Miami,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the Warriors and the Sixers who are all standing there
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in a semi circle, and it's like, what's going on.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: They're like at the zoo and they're confused. We're at
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the zoo and I don't know what we're looking at.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. It does not make a lot of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: sense what is going on here. The entire league schedule
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Think about this. The entire schedule of the NBA is
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: on pause right now. They don't want to make the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: schedule because the TV people are like, well, we got
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to get a certain number of Lebron games well, we
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: don't know where Lebron's gon. Well, therefore you gotta wait.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So the whole thing's on hold. There, like Lebron's scheduling
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: his own solar eclipse. And he's not just picking a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: basketball team, Lebron, he's choosing the moment. He's choosing the moment,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: making sure every single camera is locked on Lebron's throne. Now, meanwhile,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: turn the patch to the business of football. That would
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: be the NFL. So we've learned that Roger the Dodger Goodell,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, is expected to receive another massive contract extension
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: from the NFL, with multiple owners believing a deal will
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: be completed at the next league get together. They have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: quarterly meetings in the NFL, and then it'll be done soon.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't see this, perhaps not Rod Goodell's contract.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: His contract runs through March of twenty twenty seven. But
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the owners there they want him locked up long before
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the contract expires, and so there should be not much
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of a negotiation. He'll get whatever he wants and they'll
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: move on. And that'll be that. The question what message,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: what message or the NFL owners sending by already plotting
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to extend Commissioner Roger Goodell. So this one is rather simple.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: They're not really sending a message. They're sending a dividend statement.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Is what the owners are doing here. Dividend statement. That's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: what's going on here. Extending Roger Goodell is kind of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: like renewing Netflix. You don't really love Netflix. I don't
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: know anyone it loves Netflix. They have new content every month,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and so you're like, all right, I'll sign up again.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Why not? What the hell? Goodell not exactly a visionary
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as an NFL commissioner. I don't think anyone would say that.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: He is more of a stabilizer. And billionaires, the robber barons,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the aristocrats love stabilizers more than they love oxygen. They
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: really love it. And as they say at Bellevue Hospital
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan, do not perform surgery on a healthy patient.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And so in the eyes of the owners of the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: NFL is a healthy beast. The monster is healthy there.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And Goodell is the league's noise canceling iPods. Is what
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: he is are the AirPods. He's those AirPods that you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: just you don't hear anything other than what you're listening to,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and so he absorbs all the static and all the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: background noise, and so the owners hear nothing when in doubt,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: blame Roger Goodell. He's the ultimate designated pinata, is what
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: he is. And why would you replace a pinata if
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the pinata never breaks but the kids are swinging at it,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the kids now they're swinging it doesn't break and ugly
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: as a duct tape, but it works.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Let's say you taped it up and gotten hit, just
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: hasn't fully broken and all that stuff. So within eighteen
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: game season that's coming in a couple of years, eighteen
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: game season, a label labor kerfluffle type situation that's coming up.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: You've got multi billion dollar TV deals that will have
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: opt outs in them in the next couple of years,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: so they can renegotiate. And Goodell will be celebrating his
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: twentieth year on the job. Twenty years on the job.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: And the reason he is able to continue that is
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: because he is a human meat shield and guarantees that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for the NFL owners, everything full systems go, everything's good
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to go, all right. Now, last word to college football.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: We go college football now. I generally try to ignore
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: most of the press conference season, which is going on
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: right now, these teams, these leagues get together and they
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: got a big part of the yearly tradition media Days
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and the Southeastern Conference, all the big conferences have a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: get together. They for all the coaches in and it's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: just a seminar of sportscliche. Dot com is all it is.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And every once in a while I get suckered. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I did one about Dion Sanders a couple of weeks back.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And the latest example would be about Kentucky football. Now,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you're never supposed to talk much about Kentucky football because
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it's a basketball school. Who the hell cares? Right, So
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the new Kentucky coach, will Stein, who the f is at?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Will Stein? Now he has already made headlines at SEC
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: media Days, and he got my attention. I got my attention.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So what is this about? He answered a question on
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: why why he believes that the long dormant Kentucky Wildcat
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: football program can win big? And the new coach did
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you see this? You did not? Okay? Good? So the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: new coach came out with a very blunt, confident response.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Three words. What did he say? Did he say pray
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to Jesus? No, he didn't say that. Did he say obvious,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: blatant cheating. No he didn't say that. Did he say
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: sugar daddy? Now, No, he didn't say that. The new
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: coach said, because of me. Because of me, he said,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Kentucky entering the upcoming college football season, they have replaced
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the guy that had been there for seemingly forever, Mark Stoops,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the brother of Bob Stoops. And so Mark Stoops out
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and this guy Stein, will Stein is in. He was
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the Oregon All offensive coordinator and now he takes over
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: there in Kentucky. He then, after the quote got out,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he attempted to clarify, to put the toothpaste back in
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the tube, attempt to clarify the remark, said he was
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: not being arrogant. The new coach at Kentucky said he
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: was not being arrogant, but confident in his coaching staff,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: saying he believes Kentucky is a symble the right people
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and culture. It's the culture club to elevate that sad
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: sack football program. All right, So the question you got
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: coach will Stein saying he wasn't being arrogant when he
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: answered a question saying that Kentucky can win big because
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of him. What's your verdict on this one. So welcome
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to the chambers. It's the court of Malor. Welcome down
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to the courthouse. Here, the court of Mallor. And after
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a minutes long deliberation of the situation, the verdict here
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on Kentucky coach will Stein. Will Stein not guilty of arrogance. No, no, no,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: He's guilty of delivering a throwback coaches version of a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties early nineties WWF slash WWE promo. That's what
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this is. Claiming that the Wildcats, a basketball school in Kentucky, Kentucky,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: wakat can win big because of me, because of me,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: immediately became the story in Southeastern Conference media day activity.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Now technically he didn't disrespect anyone. He just overdosed on bravado,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: too much bravado. And it's like he contacted our guy
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Femi in Minnesota. He said, hey, can I get some
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: extra confidence via the uber eats? Okay, sure, I'll be
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: right there. It'll take me many many days to drive
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: from Minnesota to North Carolina because they got to sleep.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But Femi's on his way with extra conference. Now you
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: mentioned so though the whole arrogant thing, you know, it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: not Arrogan's it was a man trying, will Stein, trying
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to manifest destiny, to manifest success. Like he read one
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: chapter of The Secret, ask believe and you shall receive,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and that's what he was going for. Now he did
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: go out. He praised the offensive line. He called it
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the big Blue Wall. That's a cute little nickname in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the trenches there the offensive line for Kentucky. And this
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: was performative chest thumping, like thumper is what this was against.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He's going against the big time schools Alabama, LSU, schools
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: like that in the Southeastern Conference. And so will Stein,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the new coach at Kentucky, in my head, he was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: like chihuahuah marking his territory at SEC media days, Kentucky
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: engagement numbers from this kabuki theater or off the hook,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: so good for it always works the kabuki theater. He
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: got a lot of engagement there, became a trending topic
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and it's already higher the trending numbers than their win
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: total last year, which is not hard. And so coach Stein,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: now he didn't strut in like Rick Flair, the nature
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: boy styling and profile and didn't do that, didn't have
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the fur coat on didn't have the sunglasses and all that.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Now this is the setup. We all know it. And
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: then we'll get into college football when this starts getting
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: going here before you know it, you win at Kentucky.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: If will Stein can walk the walk he talked to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: talk even go out there and walk the walk, then
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he's a prophet and he's like me related to No stradinas.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he knows you know, you know
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: if he knows him or not. No streudenas I know,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: no Streetius, I of course related to Nora Damis is
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what I meant to say. But this is gonna If
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, it's gonna bird dog. Right Small,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you're the guy that said we're gonna win because of me. Right,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: because of me, We're gonna win.

  Speaker 1: inching closer, less than two weeks away from a point
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: of demarcation in the Major League Baseball season. Our lead
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: this hour from Detroit, where the man covered in cooties
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: forever tarnished a dirty rotten cheat who's now and been
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the manager for a couple of years there in Detroit.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: A J.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Hinch Forever sullied his time there with the cheating as
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: one one thousand and two one thousand holes. So he
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: implied the manager there in Detroit implied that the Tigers
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: are focused on making a late playoff push. Shocking a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: team's going to try to make a late push for
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. But the story here is, barring a major collapse,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the plan is the Tigers are going to be a contender.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: They are not going to trade Ace Tarry School before
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline, which is coming up here on August third,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: There's said to be a lot of interest to heavy hitters.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: The big boys are interested around baseball Detroit's front office,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: supposedly if you believe the scuttle, but they believe they're
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: true believers. The team can keep on winning here in
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the month of July, as we are late in the month,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and that will justify them holding on to Trek Scooble.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: They have played better. They're not really in the postseason race.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: It's a fake situation. So Schooble the most coveted starting
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: pitcher who's going to get the next mega mega, mega
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: mega mega contract in baseball if he does end up
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: on the market, and it does appear that is going
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to happen there, the chatter is the asking price is enormous, enormous,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: monumental as Detroit is perplexed on what to do. So
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: as of today, we have to worry about today's show.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: As of today, if the Tigers are somewhat in the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: mix to make the playoffs playoff, if they're in the hunt,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: then terror Schooble is expected. If you believe the reporting,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: he will remain in Detroit even though he is the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: most coveted asset available on the market. So let us
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: discuss the question what is the likely outcome? Give me
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the likely outcome from ace pitcher, trek schouble and the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: trade chatter coming out of Motown. So my observations, I've
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: got movie poster, rodeo, clowns and cores light and we
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we are
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: going to play Connect three, not Connect four. Connect three. Understand?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: All right? Very good? So we always start with number one,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: one one, one one. Now, looking into my crystal ball,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: which has never let me down, the Tigers as we
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: speak are not one, not two, not three, not four,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: not five, six games under. Now I'm from the old country.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: When you're six games under five hundred after one hundred games,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you are not a contender. Now I realize the American
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: League is dog food, bad to the moone, bad, bad,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: bad to the bone the American League. And there is gridlock.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: There is gridlock. There's no great team. I'm not impressed
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: with the Yankees of the Rays or whoever you think
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: is the top team. We're sixty sixty two percent give
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: or take through the season. And the Tigers, I wrote
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: down on their report card. I didn't give them an
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: F I gave them an FC, which does not mean
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: football club, that means faux contender. The Tigers are a
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: classic faux contender. And that's the first left hook. Okay,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that's a left hook. The Tigers are a faux contender.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Then comes the knockout, body blow, body blow, the will
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the beast in the room, the will the beast in
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the room. Motown has no interest in paying the full
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: amount for schoobl and by all accounts, there is no
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: hometown discount on the horizon, so there's none of that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: And this is an awkward situation. And I'll tell you why.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: If the owners win the labor negotiation, Schoolbl's gonna get
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: capped on how much he can make. He's going to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: get hosed. So do you sign for less than you
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: want if you're Terry Schooble right now, knowing that that
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: will be grandfathered in, that the mega contract will be
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: grandfathered in, and that they will not be giving out
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: those contracts anymore if they do end up winning the ownership,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: or do you gamble that the owners will know there
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: will be no salary limit, there will be no salary
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: cap in baseball, and you'll be fine. So you make
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the call. If you're school now. The Tigers don't seem
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: all that interested. He's pushing thirty, almost thirty. He's hitting
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: free agency this winter, if there is free agency this winter.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: His arm, Schoobel's arm is held together at times with
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: little more than Elmer's glue and also some solid scotch tape.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So they've got the Elmer's glue, the scotch tape, and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I think they found some fabric from one of those
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: ghosts of Joanne fabric stores that used to be around
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: before they went all belly up. So if you look
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: at the movie poster, look at the movie poster right here,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Detroit is staring at a remake of planes, trains, and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: automobiles for Schooble. Yeah, he's not just on the traid
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Like I don't believe the hype that he's not on
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the trip on the trade block. And he's not only
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: on the trading block. He's actually on the boarding ramp
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and he's in the portal and he's halfway halfway there
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: onto the plane. He's got his carry on bag with
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: him and a good bye muffin. What the hell is
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a good bye muffin? I guess the Tigers guy gave
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: him a goodbye muffin in my head, the cartoon bubble
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in my head. So he's got that going for him there.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Good luck on that now Detroit, the Detroit baseball team.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And this is the thing, the long term fallout from Otani.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: You might remember, the Angels had show Haltani for several years.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: They had the option of trading Otani or not trade him.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: They were also a faux contender the Halos. Ardi Morino, though,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: said I'm not trading Otani. I believe in this team
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and like every other thing that Arti Marino believes in.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: They broke they broke his heart. They broke his heart
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and work out and you look back and said it
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: was always great hindsight being what it is, and you say, okay,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the Angels. The player, one of the players Tampa Bay
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: was offering when Otani was heading towards free agency was
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Junior Camonero, who has been among the top two or
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: three power hitters in baseball this year for Tampa Bay. Now,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: would he have been that good with the Angels? Hell no,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: because nobody's that good with the Angels. That doesn't happen,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: like come on now. So but the arguments you got
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: if you're the Tigers and you're not a real contender,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: which they're not, right, they're a fake contender. Now the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: counter argument is, well, the American League blows, there's gonna
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: be a mediocre team that gets in there to the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: World Series. And if a couple of snap crackle pops
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: happened to the Dodgers, you can beat them in the playoffs. Now,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Toronto almost beat them last year, went to a Game seven.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: And so the move is you either trade him now
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and get a bunch of scratcher tickets of Bonanza scratcher tickets,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: or you hold on to them and you risk the
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: chance of Schooble becoming Poltergeist and haunting you from Los
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Angeles or New York or Chicago or Boston or wherever.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: All right, so he's Gonzo, not the guy that works here,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the new producer Gonzo. But he's Gonzo, all right. Now
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Page two to San Diego, where the fish tacos are
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: fresh and the baseball's mediocre. So we're now hearing more
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: noise that the Podres are going to do what we
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: thought they were going to do in a previous episode
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of the show. The Padres are preparing to excommunicate Mason
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Miller before the trade deadline. Oh, come on, Mallard, that's
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the top guy. They can't get rid of him. Want
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to bet? Yeah? He's been absolute dominant for the San
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Diego Padres this year. And the chatter is that the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Padres are going to attempt to do something that is
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: almost impossible to do. Rival MLB insiders and executives all
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: claiming that the Pod squad are going to attempt an
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: unconventional approach by buying at the deadline and selling at
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the deadline. So they're going to add players and they're
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: going to get rid of players at the upcoming trade deadline.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So the question for the esteem panel the Podres are
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: preparing to trade closer Mason Miller while also adding other
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: players for the stretch run. If you believe the reporting,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that's where it is. What is your take on what's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: going on in America's finest city. If you don't believe me,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: it says it on the police cars. I used to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: work there, all right, So the answer is disfunction. Junction,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: what's your malfunction? That's where we are here. And I'm
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now this has been proven great.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: You cannot sail north and south at the same time.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: You got to pick a lane. You can't go north
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and south the same time. And you certainly cannot ride
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: two horses with one saddle unless you are a rodeo clown.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: So if you've got a bunch of rodeo clowns, okay,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: then you can. You can ride two horses at once
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: one saddle. They don't have that. And the idea that
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you're buying if you're the padres for the stretch run
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: here while also unloading, Mason Miller is like saying, Hey,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going on a diet. I want to lose a
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: couple of pounds. Okay, good, go on your diet, no problem, wonderful. Yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: but I'm just give me a new diet. I'm gonna
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: go on a diet and I'm just going to eat
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: only cheese, steaks and ice cream. Well, we know you're
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: going on a dit. You have to you have to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: starve yourself a little bit. You have to hold back
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on the things you like because it's a diet. No, no, no,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I want the cheese steaks and the ice cream, but
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you can't do that and being a diet but I
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: want that that's what I'm gonna do. You can't do that, dummy.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? If you're trying to win, This
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: is an outrageous take. Nobody else has this take. If
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you're trying to win and you don't trade the Rock
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: of Gibraltar closer Miller has an era. I believe it's
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: under one. He's got twenty five saves with the Padres
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and he's under team control for a couple more seasons.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: If that floats your boat. So we tried to warn
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: you are pals in San Diego and you did not listen.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Bad job by you. These are your new look Podres.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: These are much like the old podres when I was
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: doing radio stuff down there. This is what the Podres
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: used to be. They got bought by a gentleman who
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: is someone who made his fortune in private equity, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: they're being run by a guy who this is what
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: he knows. They are a private equity operation. They flip assets.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: They love liquidation sales, and that's how they like and
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: so it's just like the baseball version of bed Bath
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and Beyond didn't go so well for them either, So
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that you got the usual suspects, The Phillies the Yankees,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, who are all in the mix. There is
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: no way, no way, the Podreys are gonna trade Mason
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Miller to the La Dodgers. That is not happening. You
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: cannot give the top relief pitcher in the sport to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: your supposed blood rifle. Not gonna happen. It's you just can't.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: You can't. That would be a civic betrayal of the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: baseball community in San Diego. I don't care what you get.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You could get two Hall of Famers for Mason Miller
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and you can't make that trade. That is a capital offense.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: That is a capital offense. You cannot do it. You
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: cannot do it. There's no coming back. Might as well
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: move the team to El Paso if the Podres are
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: going to do that, and just flip with your Triple
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: A team and that's it. And you just don't trade
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Mason Miller in general, unless unless they're actually trying to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: get booed by the labradoodles that go to bark in
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the park at Petco. All right, now, final point to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles we go And I was told by listener
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Mike in San Francisco he's in the not technically San Francisco.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: He's in the Bay Area. Mike sent me a very
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: passionate email. So if you don't talk about mister froud valor,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you would talk about it if it was the giants
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: you enjoy about. Well, it's an interesting source. Not got
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of traction yet, but federal prosecutors and the SEC,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: not the Southeastern Conference, the other SEC, the big one,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: are currently investigating insurance companies owned by Los Angeles Dodgers
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: billionaire owner Mark Walter. What whow big headline, big headline
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: all the internet, the business empire that he is running there,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Mark Walter, the Dodgers owner, and the question is whether
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: or not they inappropriately disclosed investments tied to companies under
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: their umbrella. Now, there's a lot of business jargon involved
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: in this story, and you have to be somewhat relatable
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: when you do this job, so I'm not going to
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: get into too much of that. The investigation centers on
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Delaware Life Insurance. I've heard of them, and something called
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: clear Spring and Life Annuity. Never heard of them, both
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: owned by the group that Mark Walter is the face of.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And so the probe is financial in nature. It is
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: they've been saying here this not related to the many
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: sports franchises, and it's not just the Dodgers. Mark Walters
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: group also bought the Lakers and Chelsea FC. So they
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: got some big time properties there under the Guggenheim umbrella.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: So the question, you've got the Dodgers and the Lakers
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: owner Mark Walter and his business dealings being investigated by
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the Feds. By the FEDS here, so what do you
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: make of this? So the Feds, from what I read
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: about it, and I was obviously interested in this, I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: was like, is this could this be the end of
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers run here? This guy ends up in some
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: serious trouble. That's it. Turnout the Lass the parties over
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: That's all she wrote. So the FEDS looking into this
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and they claim over again, it's not it's not what
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: you think. Goggenheim. By the way, they have three hundred
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and sixty two billion dollars in asset management that they're
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: involved in as a mind blowing amount of money. Now,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: the core issue here the regulators suspect that these companies
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: were secretly funneling policyholder cash money money money back into
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: other pet projects. I believe the term I learned this
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: when I was in school. One of the few days
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I paid attention is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Some
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: call it like, I don't want to say Ponzi scheme,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: but it's it's that you're taking money that wasn't supposed
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to go to this asset and you're using it on
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: that asset. And in this case, it's you know, it's
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Peter robbing Peter to pay Paul. If Peter was an
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: annuity holder and Paul was a billionaire's investment portfolio. Understand, Okay, good.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: So the FBA also in this investigation, they have seized
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: at least one mobile phone. What's on the phone? Grand
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: jury subpoenas have been issued. The companies are now scrambling,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and as you might imagine, they're initiating what they call
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: in the business world remediation plans. That is corporate speak
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: for what Core's Light calls the silver bullet. That is
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the get out of jail free card. Well not free.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: This is the part where businesses on Wall Street cut
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: these giant cartoon sized checks and just make it go
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: away because you don't have to go to jail. No
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: one will go to jail. You just cut a big
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: check and say, Okay, we won't do that again. Don't
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: do that again. We won't do that again. We're good
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to go. And while there is no direct evidence tying
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the Lakers to cooking the books with
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Mark Walter, the entire point of this empire, the whole
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: thing that this whatever, this is, this thing is that
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: it's all interconnected, that everything's in bed with everything else,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and it's all related there. So if the Feds find
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a systemic rot at the core, then you start saying, okay, right,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: we need more money. We got to dig a little deeper.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: And then before you know it, those blue chip assets
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: suddenly start getting more investigation, investigative, a look from the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: lower court in Manhattan, Federal lower Jurisdiction of Manhattan. And
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: so it's all connected. And that's where the real games begin,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: right that in a Manhattan courtroom. It is the Ben
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Mallor Show. If you'd like to be part, you can
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: join us right now eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Are you happy, Mike in the Bay Area? I did
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you a little story. You happy about that? I'm not
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: really worried I'm not these were like criminal charges. I'd
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: be a little concerned at this point based on the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: information we have. As I understand it not that big
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: a deal. It's not great, not the biggest story in
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Here we go angry.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: This is one big that gets Grail all right.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Google Loop.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Then there was a recent report that suggested that Justin
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Jefferson could potentially want to move on from the team
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson would want to move
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: on from the team and join the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Apparently he'd be open to a trade there due to
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: the potential for a reunion with Clint Kobiak.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: You buying that, I'm buying that someone was trying to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: get engagement. Farman. That's That's what I'm buying. If you're
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: gonna leave the Vikings. And I can't understand why, Jefferson
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: were only Vikings. Why would you go to the Raiders? Right,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: there's no reason to go to the Raiders. You can
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: live in Vegas in the offseason. You don't have to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: live in Vegas during the regular season, you gotta go
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: as far away from the Raiders as possible.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Next, then, the Packers have been promising the last few seasons,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: but they haven't been able to get it done in
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. The safety what's Isaiah made? Our linebacker Isaiah
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: McDuffie said he thinks that the team has every.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Thing that they need. Ben do you think the team
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: is a championship roster has constructed? What is it like?
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Everything they need. They're gonna have eleven players on defense,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: eleven players on offense. They're gonna have eleven players on
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: special teams. Now, the Packers are in the middle. They're
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a middling team, and I don't think they've done anything
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: to change my perspective that there will be a playoff
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: team unlikely to make much doors.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Next, the Houston Astros are three and a half games
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: back of the division. They're four and a half games
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: back with the wild cards, so kind of in the
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: playoff races. Not really, but Jordan Alvarez is getting a
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: lot of talk about al MVP.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Benner, you are you buying that one? But he's got
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: he's got great numbers. The Astros are like much like
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: these most of these teams in the America, they're a
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: full contender, so I'm not buying it. However, Aaron Judge
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: got hurt. There's really nobody that is clearly the MVP
