• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you stupid?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: No?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Let me explained. So the post mortem on the World
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Series here to the winner goes a parade, an a rally.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You get a parade and a rally. That's how that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: goes there. So after winning Game seven in a l
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Classico in Toronto the World Series, the Dodgers made their
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: way back in their luxury planes. They made their way
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: back to LA and the boys in Blue were serenaded
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: with flowers and songs and they just everyone loved them.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: They cacophony of goodness for the Dodgers there as they
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: returned to the People's Republic of California for a big
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: celebration and a championship parade and rally for the ages.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't watch any of this, why would you?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: If you're not a Dodger fan. I even I find
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this a little annoying, but I did check some of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it out for talk show reasons, for talk show reasons,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and Dave Roberts good old Dave. Some of this stuff
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was so corny. I mean, it was oh so bad. Anyway,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts tossed out a word and it involved the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: number and a word, and it was kind of the theme.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You had sho Hel Tani deliver a speech in English.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He was not the only one who did that, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the crowd went wild. They sold out crowd at Dodger Stadium.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: There.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: That concluded with Otani saying that he was ready to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: get another ring. But Dave Roberts talking about what the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: mission is now for the Dodgers. Let's go to the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: audio tape. Take a listen.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I talked of mind you have tail on the plane,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and he gave me the okay to use this phrase,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: pat Riley, let's.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Go to the two. Okay, there you go. So how
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: could the Dodgers three people when they've already ruined baseball?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I don't understand anyway, So there you go. Let's discuss
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: That's a good jumping off point. We'll talk about what
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts said there and the crowd went wild. So question,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: what did you take away from the chatter that Dave
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Roberts you threw it out there? The Dodger chatter from
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts about a three p all right, So I've
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: got alphabet pasta atomic and tuna fish sandwich, and we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we're gonna
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: make your Babushka's favorite buttered popcorn, the kind of buttered
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: popcord your Babushka just loves. Yeah, I can't get enough
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of it. So number I said, number Why? All right?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers held this event was the word gods event, right,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: we are the gods of baseball? It was that was
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that kind of SUPESTI I love that Roberts worked in
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a humble brag. Also, we talked last hour about Jerry
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Jones humble bragging.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts say, oh, I was on the phone with
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: pat Riley.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: The funny thing about that is Riley's so old at
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: this point, the younger generations don't even know who pat
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Riley is, right, I don't know who that is. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't around for the showtime late because that's a boomer.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You're friends with a boomer, Dave Roberts, what's wrong with you?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But the whole theme was that we are gods. We
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: are the gods of baseball, And it was like the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: full Gladiator. You know that famous scene from Gladiator? Are
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Yeah, it was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that kind of it. So the whole freepeat thing, like
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: what are you supposed to say? Like these things are
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: always corny and over the top anytime a team wins
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a championship, Like, what are you seriously supposed to say?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Dave Roberts had come out and saying,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: let me tell you, boys, we've won enough championship. My
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: belly is full. I am bloated from all the blingling, bloated, bloated, blooded, bloated, blooded, blooded, blurted, bloated, bloated.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: All right, my belly is so frickin' full I can't
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: even anymore. Uh no, you can't say that, right, Imagine,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Oh I ate so much? Which alphabet pasta all those ws? Www,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I got no room left, no room left, can't win.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We're good now, We're satisfied. Can't do it, can't say it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: You can never be satisfied. So the whole idea that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you enjoy the moment and just live in the moment.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: None of those guys were living in the moment, they
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: were already planning for next year. So it's okay, shouldn't
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you just embrace that particular day and just celebrate that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: day and then you worry about next year at a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: later point. But no, the champagne had not even dried
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: on the carpet there in Toronto, and they're already campaigning
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and planning their parade route or root for next year.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And the Dodgers have turned this in. It's like the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals the way they're playing here,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and they've got the payroll receipts, the billion dollar Boys
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Club and all that stuff. Then you had we mentioned
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Shoi Otani who gave the crowd his I'm ready for
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: another ring line from Otani? That was his quote there.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: He said it in English, mind you, he said it
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: in English, and the fans of course lost their mind
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to the fireworks. There was then the choreographed moment with
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts needing to bring in the other trophy. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: who did he call ice cube? He brought in not
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: an actual ice cube, ice cube? The you know the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: old guy, Yeah, the rapper, Yeah, I guy, Uh, not
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: really a rapper anymore. He's like a businessman. Anyway. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: ice Cube brought in in a muscle car the Dodger
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: World Series trophy from centerfield, not played at all, very
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: organic moment just happened. It was very odd that ice
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Cube just happened to be in his car with the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: World Series trophy in center field the moment Dave Roberts
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: needed the trophy. What are the odds? Like ice Cube
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was just bored. He was driving around Dodger Stadium and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: he just happened to be stopped out in center field
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. And at that moment he must have
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: known that Dave Roberts needed the trophy, so say, okay,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'll drive it in, no problem. And then security they
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: opened the gate and they allowed ice Cube, in a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: totally organic, not scripted mullet at all, to drive it in.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Simply amazing. The fireworks went off. The muscle car came
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in there and there it was no it's Dodger fan porn,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: That's what it was. All of it, total fan porn, porn, porn,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: porn porn porn, that's what it was. The speeches, everything choreographed,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. We're a Dynasty Baby by Keith k Hernandez.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: He's right by the way, they are dynasty, and it's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: this is you know what this is for the Dodgers.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It is the Gilded Age. It is the Gilded Age
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. At some point this ownership group's gonna
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: sell the team. Once they have to pay a tani
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: seventy million dollars a year not to play baseball whatever
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it is, they'll they'll sell the team and some other
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: dope will come in and talk about, well, we need
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to reset the franchise and we're gonna build through the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: minor league system and the team will suck. But until
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that happens, it is the Gilded Age for the Dodgers.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Everyone's co everyone's pampered and spoiled. Who plays for the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Dodgers there from their toilets that shoot, you took us
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: with water to the two jumbo jet planes and all
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And you watch what's going on right now
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and how loaded the roster is, and they're going to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: annoy everyone and sign somebody else in free agency. Again,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that's what they do. The Dodgers are so good they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: signed two of the worst players in baseball, Michael Conforto
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and he was one of them, and Tanner Scott the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: other and still ended up winning the World Series. Still
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: ended up winning the World Series there, and you know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they had the line the greatest fans in the world,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and so you had to say that line, right,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That was Miguel Rojas. I believe that was his line.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I think he said that, and he praised his teammate.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It's not all about me, that whole thing. So he
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: had those and even the interpreters, as mentioned, these guys
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: might be out of work here because once you've exposed
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the fact that you speak English, does it become a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: problem now because those interpreters probably make ninety thousand dollars
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a year to travel around with these guys. And you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: had both Yamamoto and shohel Tani who went full English
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: at the event, both of them. So there you go.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They're they're so dominant, they're now bilingual. So congratulations on that,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and that's how the empire rolls on. In Dodger Blue,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it was a coronation situation and a reminder the Dodgers
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: have become a modern If they were a rock band,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they'd be like the Beatles back in the day at
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: this point. Now the rest of major League Baseball, if
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you look around the landscape of major League Baseball, they're
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: just like an opening act, hoping, hoping, beyond hope. Here
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to grab a souvenir on the way out. Yeah, that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. Now turning the page, but not turning
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the page too far. Page two, TV Land. We go
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to TV Land, you and I and the question, what
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: do the twenty twenty five World Series ratings, which were
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: very good, very good involving the Dodgers in Blue Jays
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: tell us? So the ratings came out, and turns out,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: despite having a Canadian team in which supposedly is gonna
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: be a Debbie downer and the ratings wouldn't be that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: good and no one's gonna watch, And well, turned out
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that just wasn't true. People watched, and apparently the Dodgers.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Of what I took away from the TV ratings is
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: apparently the Dodgers are not ruining baseball after all. Shocking
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: talk about a narrative buster. The Dodgers are killing baseball,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: said the guy on social media that calls sports talk
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: radio and all that stuff. Twenty if I read this right,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: twenty six million people. Twenty six million people tuned into
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Game seven of the World Cities. Now that's not just good,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that's massive in modern television. Back in the old days
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they got bigger ratings. But in modern with the cannibalism
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of entertainment, wherever things chopped up into little bite sized pieces,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you get twenty six million people to watch baseball games.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Pretty good, most watched World Series game since twenty seventeen.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You might remember that one. The Dodgers were in that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: World Series against the cheating Astros. Yeah, bang bang on
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the trash can cheat a cheata cheeta cheata cheetah cheeta. Meanwhile,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: social media, you guys on social media told me. You said, listen,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: everyone and their mother hate the billionaire boys club, that is,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Cannot stand the Dodgers. They're bad for baseball.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: You're running the Sparta Baseball, the Dodgers, you're running it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I thought Sho Hail Tani and Mookie Betts were supposed
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to make you tune out. You told me that. That's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: what you told me. You told me that people were
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: not gonna watch because of the Dodger payroll. Turns out
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: America still loves watching the rich kids were they tuned
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in to watch the Dodgers lose. It doesn't matter. They
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: watched twenty six million men, women and children tuned in
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to watch the World Series. And that is not a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: niche sport. That is an event. That is a massive event.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And up in Canada, the numbers from the people that Rogers,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they pulled record ratings the channel that carried the World
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Series in Canada, and they estimate that nearly half of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: all Canadians, almost fifty percent of all Canadians that have
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: access to television, watched at least part of Game seven
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of the World Series. Deep pritt deep, pretty dee good.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Half the fricking country was watching. H So so much
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers are bad for baseball narrative, Oh it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: so bad. The social media echo chamber. A reminder for
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: those of you in the back of the room, the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: social media echo chamber is not real. It just isn't.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: X thinks everyone's boycotting these big market teams like the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and all this stuff, and there you go. It
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: turns out not the case. In fact, the Dodgers are
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: actually good for baseball as the bad guys, as the villain.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And if you study entertainment, if you study professional wrestling,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: or just any kind of movie storyline, you look at
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the storyboard. You have the good guy and the bad guy,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and you gotta have it. And the Dodgers have star power.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Check that box. They've got that big market, a lot
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of drama. You had some drama there, and so reports
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of Baseball's to mice have been greatly exaggerated. That's what
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to say that who knew, who knew the ratings?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: The villains, the Dodgers, the big blue bad guys. They
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: got flash and they got the finish and all that stuff.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers delivered a little bit of this, a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: little bit of that, and all work together. And Baseball's problem,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it turns out, is not the Dodgers. It's not the Dodgers.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: It's the twenty other teams pretending to be on a budget.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. That's a big problem. Dodgers are keeping
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the lights on and they're actually the good guys here,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: which is very odd considering everyone told me they're not
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: all right now. Final point, speaking of that, we'll use
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: that as a jumping off point for our next next
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: conversation point. So there is this chatter. I mentioned this
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: in a previous episode of the show. And there's a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: lot of chatter that we're gonna have a nuclear winter
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: in baseball. There's gonna be a workstopage, either be a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: lockout or a strike, and there's not gonna be baseball played.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: There can be a long long time. They're gonna reset
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: all the rules in baseball. This has been the art
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and the marching in showder Society demanding a salary cap
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: has been outspoken. Right, they've been banging the drum, bang bang,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: bang in the drum yet again. And the argument is
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that all we need is not just a salary cap.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: We need a salary floor to encourage the teams that
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: don't spend a lot of money to spend more money,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and that will be the magic placebo that will fix
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: every thing in the sport of baseball. You might have
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: heard about that. Have you heard about that. I've heard
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: about that. I've heard about that. I've heard about this
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: for years. They've said this disparity in baseball, the Dodgers
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: spending too much, they spend too much, in the A's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: don't spend any money, and we need to have more
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: balanced than all that. So the question on this one
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: would a salary cap and a salary floor motivate? In
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: this case the salary cap floor, would it motivate the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: penny pinching major League Baseball franchises to spend more, thus
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: fixing the disparity in payroll between the top five or
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: six teams and everyone else in baseball. So this is
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: one of those ideas. There's a lot of this in life.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: As you get older, you realize there's things in life
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: that sound like a good idea, and it makes for
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: a good post on social media and you get a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: lot of way to go, way to go, and then
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: it falls apart in the real world. It's like there's
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of people these days that think they should
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: get everything free, not realizing that someone has to pay
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: These are called dumb people. They don't understand there's nothing free.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Ultimately someone's paying for it, right, Like our friends in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: New York are probably gonna find out about that soon
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that someone's going to be paying for it. But nonetheless,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you think the Pirates, the A's, the Marlins, and the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins are suddenly going to grow a conscience and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: start chasing penance because there's a salary cap floor. Are
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you that gullible? Give me a break, seriously, are you
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that dumb? Yeah, but you're in for a surprise if
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you think that's the case here. They will just find
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: creative ways to f around the rules. For example, the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: worst oder, most people say, the worst over of sports,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: this guy, Bob Nutting, who he owns the Pirates. Bob Nutting. There,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you think this guy's gonna wake up the day after
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: they put a salary cap floor in baseball and say,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you know what, why don't we go out and sign
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber. Now we're the Pirates, why don't we sign
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber? What do you say? And we'll sign Ranger Suarez,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the top pitcher in the free agent market as well.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: That'll go, Well, no chance, there is no chance they will. They'll.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: What they're gonna do is they're gonna do it every
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: every team does. In a situation where there's a salary
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: cap floor, they are going to add bad contracts. They
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: will be the dumping ground. Teams like the Pirates will
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: be the dumping ground for massive bloated contracts in baseball.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: And what you're gonna see is teams like the Dodgers
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: will use the A's example, like the Dodgers will call
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the Athletics up and say, hey, we got this guy,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Tanners Scott. He's a dog with fleas. The guy's terrible,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and we want to get rid of his contract because
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the salary caps. So what you guys are you're not
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: even at the floor yet, So why don't we send
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: him and we'll we'll put we'll throw in some lottery
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: ticket and we'll send him to the Athletics. And then
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you just give us back, like you know, some low
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: level minor league pitcher, and then that's it. And and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that's what the top team are going to do. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: promise you. How do I know that I've seen it
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: in other sports? Right, He's like, well, I will send
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you a prospect attached to the veteran player and all
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that stuff boom, you meet the salary cap for it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: creative accounting. It's creative accounting, that's all. It's not winning baseball.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: It's bookkeeping. It's baseball bookkeeping. And the Phillies will trade
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, who's washed up or certainly was this past season,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the starting pitcher. They'll trade him to the Pirates for
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a half eaten tuna fish sandwich and a half eaten
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: bag of chips and a handshake and a smile. That's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: what they'll do. And it's just cap compliance. Cosplay is
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: all it is at that particular point. And I remember
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: back in the day the Clippers, back before they were
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: purchased by Steve Balmer, when Stirling owned the team, right
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: before the season, they traded for a couple of veteran
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: players and I was like, wow, the Clippers are trying
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to improve the roster. No, no, no. They were so
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: far that there was like a salary cap minimum you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: had to spend in the NBA. And I don't know
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: if they still have that. I think they do. But
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the Clippers traded because they traded for these two contracts
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: they didn't even have them on the roster, just so
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: they could be compliant with the low end of the payroll.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: That's it. And so the teams will make phony trades.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: You'll see a lot of phony trades just to check
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the box. What's in the box? Phony trade, same playbook,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: same playbook. So MLB teams are the teams that aren't
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: trying to compete, are going to continue not trying to compete.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: They love the food snamps. They can't get enough of
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the food snamps. They're those snap benefits for billionaires are
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: just snapity snap, so good. And if you think the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: floor forces effort, if you think that's going to force
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: these teams to try to win you to read a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: book or something like that, learn a little bit about life.
• 21:58

• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right? Yeah, dog has a question.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: He says, is panhandling a good career choice? He's thinking
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: about a career choice? Is panhandling a good way to go?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: You can go a hotspot like Lincoln Roads. More people
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: will drop twentys on you. Then you have no idea
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: people want to help you.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so Lincoln Road that's where they had you

  Speaker 1: away from being homeless, so these are things we need
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to know.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: It's very easy to do.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta believe that the world cash enough money
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: that everybody can have, like half a million dollars.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, you want everyone to sere, But don't you
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: have to work for that much money?
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Usually you have to work for money.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Then you know money? No money is only play can ye?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean somebody have to pave I mean somebody has
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to earn the money, right, just give money away then
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the value of the money goes down.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Nobody money people should.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You can't have money. I can. I'm gonna tell you
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: right now. You get a lot of money. Go out
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and get a job. Get a lot of money, all right,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Robb the goat Man writes in he says, a friend
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: of mine is waking up numerous times a night to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: take a leak. What advice can you give him? Billy
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: from Rob the goat Man? Any any advice?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: We man? You don't drink water when you're sleeping, Just
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: don't do it. Ben, I'm telling you what. Money should
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: not have a point in people's life. Everybody should have
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: be free.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: People should be to be free. But you, somebody, in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: order to be productive, you have to you earn your money, though.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: That's just how he goes. I feel terrible getting stuff
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: without earning it. That's just how I'm wired, though. But
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I just you getting free crap. I get it. A
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people. There's more people like you that don't.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: There's more people like you that don't want to work
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: and are just lazy than people like me. I got it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, that's not true.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: That's not true.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I would do I would I would work, I would
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: do a talk show right.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Second, show I got you all right? All right? Andy?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: All right is ask a weed man? Boy, this is
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: going well. Andy in Line Lakes, Minnesota says, ask a
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: weed man, did you ever find your teeth? And if
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you didn't, are you planning on getting some new teeth?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: They sell them at Walmart?
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Is so amazing teeth, It's amazing.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: They soul. I think you lost them in the pile
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: of rubbish. Didn't isn't that the story? Yes? But Andy
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: says if you yes? And Andy says, if you go
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: down to the Walmart you can get some some new teeth.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's true. Possibly be true. Was made
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: to go into my mouth?
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are the those are like the costume teeth.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I think you know they having the house probably on
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: sale right now, the house vampire ones.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think that would work.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I am great, Yeah, I don't think all right, Steve.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Steve writes in this is I'm sure you have a
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: great take on this. He says, ask weed man. Why
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is afraid of the Bill's mafia? So apparently, well,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you're you're really an expert, so apparently. So apparently Taylor
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Swift didn't show up to the game on Sunday because
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: she had a bad experience with Bills fans and she's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: afraid of the Bill's mafia. So your thoughts on that,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: weed Man?
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I said, probably true? Why should she just do abused
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: like that? This is a worship woman. Everywhere she goes,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: she's worshiped. She has the greatest life for you joking,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: why should she do well?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but everyone so I'll keep, doesn't he keep?
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: You're grounded. If everyone kisses your ass, that would be
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a curse, good for the soul. But we seriously, if
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: everyone kissed your ass all the time, you would that
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: would be terrible. I would think.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift probably likes it like that.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know she said she like that? All right?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Shane in des Moines as another question. He says, hey,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: weed Man, how much would you charge for a cameo?
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Do you know what a cameo is? Weed Man?
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I wish I could get on I wish I could
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: get you could.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: You could get on there? You could get on there.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem, though, you're lazy. If you if you
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: put some work.
• 32:39

  Speaker 7: Matthew Stafford has won a Super Bowl, is all over
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: the record books, but he lacks individual accolades. However, some

  Speaker 7: analysts think that he needs to be considered for MVP
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: this season.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: What do you think, Ben? All Right? So, first of all,
• 39:38

• 40:11
  Speaker 1: M Why but just enjoy your life? What are you doing?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Why even bother coaching? Unless he can embezzle some more

  Speaker 1: money out of Auburn. They'll pay him a lot of money,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: but it's it's not a great job in the SEC.
