1
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:03.919
Have you ever been in an institution?
2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:05.120
You're listening to one.
3
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.800
Now, that's true. God, there's so much has happened since
4
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:10.919
the last time I've been on here.
5
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:11.880
Nothing has happened.
6
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.240
What are you talking about in.
7
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.199
My personal life? That's a great Broadway show in New York.
8
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.000
We'll have to talk about that. Maybe it was crazy.
9
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.239
Actually it was about roll Doll giants.
10
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:28.480
Oh yeah, it's insane, was there?
11
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:29.800
I know all about roll Doll.
12
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:34.479
There's peaches, there's candy factories and anti Semitism and yeah,
13
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:34.880
lots of.
14
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:44.960
Anti semty.
15
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:56.600
Streets are yes, yes, this is exactly how.
16
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.560
This is how I got to feel all of those times.
17
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:35.799
Joys will be Yes.
18
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.120

Who are you victorious?
25

Oh my god, I can feel that I'm getting missy
28
00:01:58.680 --> 00:01:59.799
I just thinking about it.
29
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.799
A great Sunday was so beautiful to.
30
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:05.879
I wasn't even really Sunday.
31
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.759
You were already were already.
32
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.360
Sunday was But no, that when you see the trophy
33
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:16.439
come out, uh the Crystal Palace, and it's just it
34
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.560
was just joyous.
35
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.520
And we get to do it all again this week.
36
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:29.639
We try to do all again this weekend against have
37
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:30.840
a chance to do it again.
38
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.919
Let's say, what are we talking about. We're talking about
39
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:42.199
how Everton gave Arsenal the the win, Uh for the league.
40
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.520
We do get credit for that, right, Uh. Yeah, we
41
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.719
could have actually done it sooner if we had actually
42
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.919
kept our our lead against City. Yes, then you would
43
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.240
have won a whole week earlier. So sorry about that.
44
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.319
But by pulling the draw with City, we we did
45
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.199
in fact cause the Gunners to win the league.
46
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:09.080
So it was a great This was just a really
47
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.719
good sports journey and like a lot some of my
48
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:18.000
closest friends and like you know specifically for like the
49
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.960
English Premier League and just I think European football, I
50
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.919
mean world wide football in general and the United States
51
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.680
specifically around in soccer.
52
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:27.719
Around the leagues right.
53
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.000
That whole Like and I really would credited really for
54
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:38.199
NBC Sports Network when they initially get that package, because
55
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.439
before you could get it, but like it's like you're
56
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.520
getting up early, you're hoping that the bar has like
57
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.199
sky Sports like it was it wasn't accessible and it
58
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.759
was just it's been really uh it's been really awesome
59
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.000
to kind of grow in that and be at like
60
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.800
the lucky bars and the drafting.
61
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.080
Tables and like like the unity around that.
62
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.759
Like people were coming in from like we had a
63
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.639
really good time on on Sunday as like just a
64
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.680
group of people. There were jokes made from folks to
65
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.680
me that you know this, They were like, this is
66
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.199
like trying to solve what what is it?
67
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.720
What is it called the male loneliness epidemic?
68
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:22.000
Yeah, right, like this is likeliness epidemic.
69
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.519
There's it's not sports. You find plenty of friends.
70
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:31.879
Yeah, but this yeah, and this team right obviously like
71
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:37.879
Michelan and he deserves yes, yes, yes, you know that's right.
72
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:42.319
That's what I say. Whole hold name just the the
73
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.759
squad that's built and like the folks that come out
74
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:49.759
the academy and uh yeah, the style of play. I
75
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.360
mean it was excited the corners over the last two
76
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.720
years and like I just noticed this and like right.
77
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.639
Ending up like second place, what was that three years?
78
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.240
Maybe four? Four years in a row?
79
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.759
The title of the Bottlers, uh for I don't know
80
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.199
the longest time. I think he set a record for
81
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.120
the most second place finishes in today.
82
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.519
Fucking wankers tell him to go some fucking place as
83
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.399
well too, Like it doesn't like even that, like it
84
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.759
was good and to lose to City and to still
85
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.399
have the resolve to be like we can still like
86
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.439
we can still do this. And I don't even say
87
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.920
we with sports like this, but like Arsenal and Nationals
88
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.120
is still like those are the two the two teams
89
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.920
that still have me in this week, I could, I
90
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.639
could wax, we could do a whole separate show on
91
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:37.079
this week.
92
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.079
So the real question is how do you feel because
93
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.519
so much of of I mean, over the years that
94
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.959
we've been friends, right, Your identity and I think this
95
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.759
is true of many Gunners fans is tied to this.
96
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.079
There's no hope that this sort of like every time
97
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.279
anybody says anything positive about Arsenal, you're always like, yeah,
98
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.360
but we'll find a way to blow it. Like every
99
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.639
one of my friends that are Arsenal supports that is
100
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:03.240
how they feel.
101
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:04.199
I had to.
102
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.720
Even correct that on Sunday because folks were just bringing
103
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.360
up like again and I probably just kind of did
104
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.480
that as well, but bringing up kind of just like
105
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.920
the Dark Ages and I'm like, hey, right now.
106
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.040
That's done. Like at this point, that is over with.
107
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.319
Like we have won the Premier League and we're in
108
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.360
the We're in the freaking Champion League final. Like that's
109
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:32.079
it doesn't really get any bigger than that, Like those.
110
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.360
Are won the FA maybe yeah that that yeah.
111
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.759
Trying to go for those crazy like the triples, triples,
112
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:39.839
but you're on the edge of a double.
113
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:45.439
The double is insane. It's doable. And yes, what is
114
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.800
your identity now, No, it's it's it's champions.
115
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:49.959
What the hell that's what it is.
116
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:51.959
Do you know how to behave as a champion?
117
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.920
Yes, it's clear as day because we are now champions.
118
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.000
Like they've already shown that work.
119
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:02.120
And you I don't mean them personally, Yeah yeah personally.
120
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:03.920
Yeah. So I'm not far off.
121
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.839
Again, it's it's getting you remember when the that's one.
122
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.279
I remember that one. Yeah, Like so I'm not far
123
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.199
off from that. We still have the mystics get there.
124
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:17.480
Like there's been championships around here, like this one is
125
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:18.920
this one is a little different.
126
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.120
I think this one is.
127
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.319
Yeah, Okay, as somebody who has experienced being an obnoxious champion.
128
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:27.160
Right.
129
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.199
This is the thing that Michigan fans have gotten good
130
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.480
at in the last several years. We do, you know,
131
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:39.920
how to obnoxiously like just I don't need arsenal into conversations.
132
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.199
You don't. I don't one.
133
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.879
I just it's been so easy getting dressed the last
134
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.519
few days because I just go in and grab whatever.
135
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.480
There's arsenal kid.
136
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.560
It's just and just to walk in the streets because
137
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.279
some people they're clearly the people who are like happy
138
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.000
about it will like like say something. But then you'll
139
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.279
just see people who just scowling because you know that
140
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:02.800
like they're either a City.
141
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:06.959
Fan or the Liverpool or like that.
142
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.680
Don't give me that, no, but I mean they're city fans.
143
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.439
They became City fans less than five years ago. Maybe
144
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.839
maybe okay, maybe maybe, but but.
145
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.040
Yeah, I don't like at this point, it's like I don't.
146
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.000
I just need to wear the and then I just
147
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.720
need to wear the kid and then we'll get the
148
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:28.120
actual champion kit, uh for the Premier League, you know,
149
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.920
with the with the goal on it, and hopefully there's
150
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:32.480
a Champions League kid.
151
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.279
For the winner of that. That is what Saturday will be.
152
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.159
Saturday is going to be very intense because PSG is
153
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.879
like they're going to try to go out and.
154
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:42.759
They're very good.
155
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.000
They're going really good. They're going for back to back
156
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:47.919
to back and.
157
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.679
They have an incredible team.
158
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.799
Yeah, so yeah, but I'm for you.
159
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.320
And I think I've seen people comment that Arsenal we
160
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.600
haven't seen them doing any training or anything like that,
161
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:04.840
and I'm kind of like at this point, no, like, yeah,
162
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.399
they know what needs to be done to go out there,
163
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:12.159
and some my credit like them taking days off over
164
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.519
the last few weeks of them playing a lot better
165
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.320
and just like taking the pressure off. So and the
166
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.279
pressure is off again the Premier League champions, Like it's
167
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.240
I'm very excited.
168
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.799
So there you go. We we needed to address this
169
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.320
the whole ten minutes.
170
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:27.559
A whole.
171
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.759
You look, it's so good because.
172
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.000
I wasn't expecting it.
173
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.159
I wasn't expecting you were like whatever, I I wasn't
174
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.799
expecting that to come on. And as soon as I
175
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.559
heard it, like the smile on my face came.
176
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:44.840
It just came on my face.
177
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.399
It was like, oh yeah, that that did happen. And
178
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.320
again Saturday, we can.
179
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.720
We had the worst time to have a week off
180
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.559
because so many things.
181
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.559
Usually when we're off, nothing happened, nothing happens.
182
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.480
But this this week that we were off, a lot
183
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.279
of stuff happened that we would have wanted to talk about,
184
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:09.279
including your your win. We could go on for soccer
185
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.639
for days. I do just want to like toss out
186
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.600
there this question that I think is kind of hanging
187
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:21.000
over everybody is with Pep leaving and City not winning,
188
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.600
will the league finally come down on them for all
189
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:32.799
of their financial ify dealings, let's say, And if they do,
190
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.679
you know, what does that really mean? So just like
191
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.039
let's see what that looks like. Stay tuned to that.
192
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.799
There's there's not necessarily an off season in soccer.
193
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.639
Obviously we're going into the World Cup.
194
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:49.840
But yeah, but but as far as like what's going
195
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:53.279
on in Premier League that there is this gap, right,
196
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:57.159
but it isn't really a gap because they're they're aside
197
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.559
from the actual soccer that's happening, right, there's World Cup soccer.
198
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:00.519
There's going to be all that stuff.
199
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.440
Right, There's there's also this like what's going on with
200
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:08.559
the rules, what's going on with off sides and v
201
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:08.960
A R.
202
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.240
And then also what's going on. I love, Yeah, I'm
203
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:13.799
sure you do.
204
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.600
But what's gonna happen with City and then what's gonna
205
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.960
happen with some of these coaching vacancies and and all
206
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:20.600
of that stuff.
207
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.879
So there's a lot to watch. It's it's an exciting
208
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.480
off season and and I.
209
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.639
Think again with the World Cup, it'll be interesting because
210
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.240
there'll be a slow start to the season and I
211
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.240
think it could be wide open because a lot of
212
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.679
players will need to rest, So it'll be interesting to
213
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:38.679
see who is actually in a lot of these squads
214
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.080
they're starting, right.
215
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.600
Which club or which clubs are able to prioritize getting
216
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:48.600
off to a quick start and winning in an environment
217
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.759
where a lot of the top talent is damn near exhausted.
218
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:57.519
Yeah, I mean Soker Rice, Like, I'm just thinking of
219
00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.080
all the players are gonna be playing for.
220
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.080
How many of your team are on national team? Oh
221
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:07.399
my god, exactly, it's a fair amount and everybody. But
222
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.600
you're not the only one, right, Liverpool has got most
223
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:14.000
of the Dutch national team on the on their squad.
224
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.559
You know, we've got Jordi to deal with, but and
225
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.960
Shama Heavy is playing for Ireland.
226
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.600
So but yeah, we're having the England squad, so we'll see,
227
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.279
we'll probably out.
228
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.480
You have a lot of the England squad. Squad which
229
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.960
is or what should be the England squad. That's a
230
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:34.080
whole other. Yeah, I'm sure you have thoughts on that
231
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.960
the Germans have hijacked your team, sir. They finally figured
232
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.000
out how to win that war that they keep losing
233
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:46.200
over and over. Okay, all right, so there you go.
234
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.000
That's Soccer Chat. Now we're gonna do, uh, the actual show.
235
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.759
So this week is a Welcome to Chip Chats especial
236
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.279
edition of Chip because we're going to talk to our
237
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.519
favorite baseball nut, Dan Form. Also, he's back with us.
238
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.440
He was supposed to be with us a few weeks
239
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.720
ago and then I had an emergency so I had
240
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.120
to cancel.
241
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.480
So that's my bad.
242
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.240
And Dan is a phenomenal person for still fitting us
243
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.000
into his schedule, so that's great.
244
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.240
And Trump is maybe escalating the war, maybe not.
245
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.799
We're either like about to have an end or the end.
246
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.879
It's something's gonna happen or not.
247
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:31.720
In this exact spot for like weeks, so you know,
248
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:32.639
stay tuned.
249
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.279
We don't know.
250
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:36.000
It might be starting a new war in.
251
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.679
Cuba that's going on. That's pretty good. Or he's sleeping,
252
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.600
who knows. I mean, he's just doing all kinds of stuff.
253
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.360
The Yolo Caucus is forming in Congress. We're gonna talk
254
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:52.080
about that, and oh you know who they are. And
255
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.519

256
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.279
you have thoughts, that's your whole us talk learn it
257
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:01.759
for you.
258
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:06.960
I know, it's just I was someone that didn't again
259
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.080
and it was not a white person who said this,
260
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.120
so we'll just take that out. But someone was like, yeah,
261
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.679
and they're getting reparations, and I said, no, it is
262
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:16.399
not that.
263
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.399
It is not that it's a slush fund.
264
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:20.440
They are calling it.
265
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:21.320
They can call it.
266
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.320
Yeah, they weren't wrong.
267
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.279
They were they're getting they're getting the legal term would
268
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.360
be reparations.
269
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:34.879
And it's not that they were not they were not wronged.
270
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:36.639
Forty acres and.
271
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:42.120
The mule's what they get. Yeah, all right, just well
272
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:44.879
we'll talk about that. So anyway, that's and we gotta lie.
273
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.440
There's headlines all kinds of stuff. This is a big show,
274
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.159

I am your host, Chip with me.

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:32.200
Is test all right, So now it's time for the headlines.
296
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:32.399
Now.
297
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.000
The last time we did the headlines, Tes was on assignment,
298
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.320
so Brian had to fill in for him. Yes, and
299
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.559
Brian got to do some some excellent headlines.
300
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.960
So go god, hold on, I don't want to lose
301
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:44.600
my job here.
302
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.759
No, we'll see what happens. I don't know.
303
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:50.679
I haven't read these, so we'll see. No, I haven't okay,
304
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.720
I don't know how to read. Thanks for exposing that,
305
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.039
all right, all right, so, as tradition dictates, tes gets
306
00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.720
to go first.
307
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.200
Okay, all right.
308
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.599
After kids got done with looks maxing, where they would
309
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:13.039
intentionally break facial bones to try to look more manly,
310
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.440
they have moved on to balls maxing, where they use
311
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:20.519
saline injections to try to make their balls gigantic. The
312
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:24.680
next trend doesn't matter. Everything is over at this point.
313
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.079
That is correct.
314
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.799
All that's true, by the way. UH. As the war
315
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.960
in Iran continues, Trump tweeted a series of AI bomb
316
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.960
images with messages on them.
317
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.519
A source inside the Pentagon said, why didn't we think
318
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:37.720
of that?
319
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:43.759
He's taking it very seriously, very seriously.
320
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:49.319
The memour, which is supposed to be something that plays out.
321
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.759
Like no tweet anyways.
322
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.960
Uh.
323
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.599
Trump deployed the US Navy to blockade the straight of
324
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.599
Horn Moves or is it around has been calling it Monday, Yes,
325
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:01.880
every Monday.
326
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:04.880
The Navy has so far turned away about a dozen
327
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.880
chips by playing the Village People anthem in the Navy
328
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:13.880
at intense volumes, causing Trump to dance profusely. He loves that,
329
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:16.160
he does love.
330
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.079
It like I didn't. I didn't.
331
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:18.920
She's in ping.
332
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.079
UH greet him with that or something. I feel like
333
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.160
they were playing, yeah, of course, yeah.
334
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.359
I wonder if.

337
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.039
Oh god, the State Fair forgot what's not called.
338

This fucking thing in the entire world.
339
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.920
Okay, go ahead, I'm getting out, all.
340
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.240
Right, I'm getting out of here for that foolishness. Yeah,

I'm not gonna You might stay for the UFC.
342
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:44.799
Just joking.
343
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.799
The war in Iran isn't the only thing dragging around
344
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.880
the White The Trump White House jd Vance is there too.
345
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:51.799
That's right.
346
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.960
Gas prices continue to climb, forcing many Trump supporters to
347
00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:59.599
reduce the number of giant flags in their pickup trucks
348
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:11.359
to only two. Gas increases the winter is this yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
349
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.759
you can do that when it's two seventy nine a gallon.
350
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.960
Oh remember those times, those times, Remember those times four
351
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:20.839
months ago.
352
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:26.640
That inflation is three point eight percent. They just got
353
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.400
numbers today.
354
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:33.599
Yeah, see guys up, Okay, go ahead. The rising fuel
355
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:36.240
prices has been a sharp decline and other spending at
356
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.119
gas stations, meaning more sushi available for me.
357
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.839
Yes, I was hoping you'd get that one.
358
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:43.000
Ye.
359
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:49.519
Gas stations all Right, Health and Human Services Secretary R. M.
360
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:50.279
K Jr.
361
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.680
Posted a video of himself catching a pair of black
362
00:19:54.799 --> 00:20:00.599
racer snakes on the patio of CMS director Doctor Oz's house, Florida.
363
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.680
This story brought to you by the Incredible Sentences Department.
364
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.799
And while it's in Florida, everybody, it's black racer snakes,
365
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:13.200
not black racist snakes.
366
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.240
Okay, just the classic.
367
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.240
Reports are that Kennedy did in fact eat both snakes,
368
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.160
but that he experienced indigestion when the snake encountered the
369
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.319
mongoose he had ingested earlier.
370
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:41.799
Yes, it's just like, it's possible. It's weird inerds inception
371
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.720
type shit things eating things inside of it. The inception.
372
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.240
Tom Keene has not been seen for eighty days in counting,
373
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.039
but since he's from New Jersey.
374
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.039
He's probably just stuck on the turnpike somewhere.
375
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.240
Was in the doctor Tom Keane has not been seen.
376
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:09.839
That is a good rhyme but also true. I encourage
377
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:12.920
everybody who lives along the Appalachian Trail to go check.
378
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:13.440
Just in case.
379
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.240
Yeah, no, God, that's actually the worst story.
380
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.720
Than it sounds like. We can talk about that later,
381
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:20.359
but go ahead.
382
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.880
After the Supreme court allowed Southern states and black voting rights.
383
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.480
Alabama moved enact a set of districts the court already
384
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.640
struck down in twenty twenty three, and we're agatting stopped
385
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:35.359
by the court answering the question, quote, which state is
386
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.039
truly the most racist?
387
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:37.759
That's right.
388
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.119
Courl was like, we already ruled that this was intentionally race,
389
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:43.480
as you guys wrote down.
390
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:49.559
We're doing this because where race has not to be outdone.
391
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.039
Mississippi attempted to redraw their districts, but the court didn't
392
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.359
accept their submission because it was drawn, and.
393
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.160
Crayon, she's leave them alone.
394
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:06.400
Trumpet is plowing ahead with construction of his UFC octagon
395
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:09.039
on the White House lawn, and reports are that the
396
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:13.119
DoD has quote number of sides envy.
397
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:17.599
Oh my god, I wanted you to get that one too.
398
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:18.160
That's good.
399
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.160
Oh my god, that's a geometry joke.
400
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:24.519
What Yeah.
401
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.240
People are like, you two idiots just make a bunch
402
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:29.279
of really dry, stupid dad jokes.
403
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:30.880
And then our writers were like.
404
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:35.279
I got you. Yeah, hold my beer.
405
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:43.480
Yeah, pentagon, octagon, number of sides envy dynamite stuff right there.
406
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.480
I don't feel proud.
407
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:50.200
Know your audience. Man, Uh, the fight will take place.
408
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:55.960
Celebrate, yes, the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of our nation, because,
409
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.279
as Patrick Henry famously said, give me liberty or give
410
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.880
me several tons of dudes in tight shorts on top
411
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.400
of each other.
412
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.200
Yeah, I mean that's what it is. That that was
413
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:08.599
the quote. That was quote.
414
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.960
Uh, Memorial Day was this past weekend a time to
415
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:18.720
commemorate our fallen service members by holding large furniture. Coincidentally,
416
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:23.079
Jadie Vance had a fast, fantastic Memorial Day, Yes he did.
417
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:30.920
We do commemorate them by selling consumerism. What are you
418
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.240
gonna do?
419
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:33.720
It's that's a great joke.
420
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.079
Memorial Day kicks off the start of the summer travel season,
421
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.519
but with gas prices so high, many Americans can't afford
422
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:46.799
that road trip. So sorry, Grandma, that's not a joke.
423
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:47.039
Really.
424
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.240
I think it's just like a thing.
425
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.400
It's okay, I listened today, Grandma, will just talk to
426
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:58.640
the AI robot. Speaking of gas prices, Trump called the
427
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:02.839
massive increases quote it's again, guys, mid.
428
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:03.319
Terms to come.
429
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.559
Increases peanuts because that was one of the three things
430
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:11.319
on the dementia test in front of him at the time.
431
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.960
Yeah, yes, allegedly, allegedly.
432
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.160
In response to the Peanuts comments, Snoopy has filed a lawsuit.
433
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:23.799
And those are the headlines.
434
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.319
Yeah, oh my god, I almost sent you the there's
435
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.920
a story that I wanted. I want you to talk
436
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.960
about maybe next week.
437
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.240
When we get more of this data.
438
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:36.000
But there was polling data that shows that the white
439
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.680
working class has flipped on Trump and they give a
440
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:44.319
fifty four negative. So you know, this thing that you've
441
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.960
been talking about is maybe we're we might we may
442
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:50.880
have finally found the bridge too far.
443
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.039
And it is It isn't just the case with every president.
444
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:57.720
The one thing they can escape is the economy and
445
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:01.559
like for better for what us right, Biden had to
446
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:06.160
hold the economy that like again, he just it was
447
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.000
taking too long and unfortunate.
448
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:09.240
That's just how the ship shook out.
449
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.319
This isn't this isn't like racey.
450
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.680
This is crazy.
451
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:18.720
People saw that involvement of Trump. You crash everything and
452
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:21.440
quickly enough that they can say he did it. They
453
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.519
were doing it with the tariffs, and we were still battling.
454
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.240
We were still like we we we hadn't hit it yet.
455
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.799
And he was like, you know what, I got something
456
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.279
you won't let me destroy me kind of crashing fast enough.
457
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:36.880
I want to buy everything for no money. I want
458
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:39.400
I want the economy to fail. Also, those farmers are
459
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:40.079
still surviving.
460
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.200
I have to destroy them.
461
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.559
Must So many people are saying the farmers have to die,
462
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:44.759
have to kill the farmers.
463
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:51.079
Sorry, Yeah, it was like I got you that it's
464
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.759
insane gas prices.
465
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:59.160
Could it's five dollars? Yeah, it's here like or five
466
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:03.440
point fifty that you might have riots in the streets, right, yeah.
467
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.000
So we'll talk about that a little bit later.
468
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:07.079
But I just want to like and maybe we'll get
469
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.200
money for it, right, No, No, everybody, everybody, if you.
470
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.720
Riot, you get paid. Well, it depends I can get
471
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.559
paid for it.
472
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.599
You probably can't. I'll get paid. I'll get I'll pay
473
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:16.880
for it.
474
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:17.759
I will.
475
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.079
I will probably convince somebody I was there. Yeah, I
476
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:22.839
will pay for it.
477
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.839
The beard, Yeah, I wear the same outfits that they do.
478
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:29.960
That is true. They didn't too much. It's over for you.
479
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.279
Yeah, no, that's fine, but they clearly they're not into
480
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:34.440
actually checking anything.
481
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:36.920
All right.
482
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.640
So those are the headlines. We're going to take a break.
483
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:41.599
When we come back, We're going to talk to Dan
484
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.480
about baseball, which we have a ton of stuff to
485
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.400
ask him about. This has been a remarkable beginning of
486
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.480
the season, so we we I'm so excited we could.
487
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.559
Start with the end of last season. No, don't did
488
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:57.799
you read ahead? Don't read ahead?
489
00:26:59.039 --> 00:26:59.880
Work, of course not.
490
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.039
We're hitting right for me, right back you on the way,
491
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:04.519
right here.
492
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:05.240
And behind.
493
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:20.680
Mm hmm.
494
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:30.880
Before you get that door there, you better check that curl.
495
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:33.640
Cleveland told me something.
496
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.599
Along clock when you some light on my faces.
497
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:40.880
I can't stand outside.
498
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.519
With the curl out of players play.
499
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:50.200
We're a tightened that loop, a dryass cur brother that
500
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.400
ain't thumb move.
501
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.200
I need that trip, need that.
502
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:56.880
Shine to behave, need my curl.

505
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:03.960
Let it fall a truth.
506
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:07.759
There ain't nothing popping til like Brad.
507
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.480

The short friends hiking dreams in every.

Strength, but without them caem it calls messing a mind.
511
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.440
Get the juice, keep your curl.

Get the juice.

Filter water straight from the lake, Victoria.

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.200
Avid Cory hands any man rules, who bring.
520
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:10.480
The curl your FORI hit it. One's five to ten
521
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.079
and a strong. Then if that boracious ain't fail, you've
522
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:20.039
been warmed. Some heat turn curls to an frow quick.
523
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:25.119
So keep a bottle close again, that's the trick. Three
524
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:26.720
or five on the door.
525
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:31.400
Keep the bow shuting grow, stay glossy all day with
526
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:39.400
the juice. No harsh chemicals, no itchy scull, no greasy

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:43.279

Deep it go to.
536
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:24.960
Stop the juice?
537
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:26.279
Keep it?
538
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:37.160
What is that?
539
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:59.440
What is that?
540
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:36.480
Sounds like that was about how everyone? What the hell
541
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:37.319
was that?
542
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.039
Okay?
543
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.440
Uh, welcome, welcome back to chip.
544
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.400
Can Hereaway Radio and beyond.
545
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:52.119
I'm your host. Tip with me is as Brian, what
546
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.440
are you.
547
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.559
Doing to do man, what was that?
548
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.319
What it was?
549
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:57.319
Okay?
550
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.400
Okay? So again, yes, the you know, as everyone knows, uh,
551
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.279
the headlines, the headache headlines are brought to you by
552
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:14.559
the juice. So apparently we all knew about the Jews. Well,
553
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.240
Trump had some juice that was big him do all
554
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:22.640
that stuff. So so what I thought on him, I
555
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.200
don't know what it is. So again, someone was filming
556
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:30.480
from Afar. They saw Trump come in and he was
557
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.839
ripping it literally and so uh as if you if
558
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:39.519
you saw the little bits, he's even see the marine.
559
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.720
He was like surprised at what was going on. And
560
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.720
and one of his aides just walked just trying to
561
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:51.559
squick gills, move as fasts she could. Well, I'll get
562
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:53.400
you hit by the gas that it was coming out
563
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:53.680
of him.
564
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:55.839
So that was in the limo.
565
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.799
No, it started in the limit, but he walked outside
566
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.960
yo to relieve himself, so to speak.
567
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:09.200
Great, okay, that's what he was huge, Okay, I thank
568
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.599
you for that.
569
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.799
So yeah, and if you and of course the NBC
570
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:17.400
reporter that was from the all the butt shots that
571
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.200
were happening prior to that. But a nice little mixed
572
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:21.759
remixed version.
573
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:21.759
Of this.
574
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:31.279
Okay, all right, well, thank you for the show. Right
575
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:32.279
before get.
576
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:36.039
App to the guest.
577
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.119
Husually, we usually play like a song from somebody that's like,
578
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:42.920
you know, it's nice and dope.
579
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:47.240
We don't do this, all right, so, uh, Dan Formosa
580
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.440
is an engineer, author, YouTube star and all kinds of things.
581
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.440
But what he is to us is our baseball rules insider.
582
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:57.160
And what's more inside baseball than people talking about the
583
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:01.039
new rules this year there are some big changes, as
584
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:03.759
we like to do, We've invited Dan back to the
585
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:07.000
show to discuss and for some reason, especially after that,
586
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:11.679
he's decided to come back. Dan, welcome back to chid Chat.
587
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:13.360
I am happy to be back.
588
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.519
That's a that's the sad time.
589
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:19.039
Hey, hey, I.
590
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:22.119
Start with something that I'm really surprised at, ed, I,
591
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:26.000
how did you guys skip over the two hundred and
592
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:28.559
fifty dollars bill with Trump's picture on it?
593
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:33.880
Because our writers wrote this yesterday and that hadn't happened yet.
594
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.400
And also there is so many things that we have
595
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:42.639
to skip and that probably can't happen.
596
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:44.880
So I don't know.
597
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:48.000
It's dictator shit, he's already on like he put himself
598
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:50.599
on a passport. He's got a gold statue of him
599
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:54.559
doing the Saddam pos He's he's doing it like the most.
600
00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:57.119
So you show up like Kadafi with a bunch of
601
00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:59.239
fucking medals on his chest that he didn't earn.
602
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.679
So much cham and mouse stuff going on. It is.
603
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.599
My bet pays off at the end of June.
604
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.440
If if there's still an election scheduled at the end
605
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:11.519
of June, then I'll lose.
606
00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:15.679
But we'll see. Oh it is June, that is week.
607
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.440
We are very close.
608
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:18.599
Yeah, very close.
609
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:19.840
So that's good.
610
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:21.039
I bet I want to lose.
611
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:25.079
Okay, So there are there are some new rules in
612
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:29.840
baseball this year, and the first question I want to ask,
613
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.960
because we talked about this last year, is that there's
614
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:39.199
a line on the outside of the first base base path.
615
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:42.079
That is, you explained to us that's the point at
616
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.719
which right handed batters have to get onto the base
617
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.159
path or be close to it or on it or whatever,
618
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:50.519
or a little outside of it.
619
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.760
But that rule got removed. So did they take that
620
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:55.239
line away? Is the line gone?
621
00:35:56.239 --> 00:36:01.159
The line is still there in most stadiums, but so why, But.
622
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:03.360
I don't know.
623
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:08.679
Someone's getting paid to put it down. That's the groundskeeping
624
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:14.599
is really funny because there are some standards of course
625
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:19.360
to the infield, but not to like the height of
626
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:24.960
the grass or the pitch of the dirt going up
627
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:27.159
the first baseline. Like, for instance, if if you have
628
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.159
a team that bunts a lot, they want to keep
629
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.559
the ball in so it may be graded a little
630
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:37.159
bit to the inside. And of course they recruit play
631
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.159
is based on the stadium because they're going to play
632
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:41.480
half the games in that right, so depending on where
633
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:44.199
they hit left, right, et cetera. So a lot of
634
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.639
things going on with groundskeeping that you may not even
635
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:47.079
think about.
636
00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:55.280
Okay, So then so the line now is completely vestigial. Yeah, okay,
637
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:56.960
there we go settled.
638
00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:57.840
All right.
639
00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:59.880
So the big one that of course everybody wants to
640
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:05.280
talk about is ABS, right, and the challenge system and
641
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:09.199
all that stuff. So before we get into the details
642
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:12.400
of this, can you briefly explain to everybody what the
643
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:16.559
new set of rules for challenging pitches and how the
644
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:18.360
ABS system is involved in that.
645
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:22.079
In all of that, right, So in the regular nine innings,
646
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:27.400
each team gets two chances to challenge the umpire's.
647
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:30.679
Call on balls and strikes, not on other stuff.
648
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:33.480
No, definitely, not in other things, but on balls and strikes,
649
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:39.000
each team gets two chances if the ABS system, which
650
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.800
is a series of twelve cameras that are watching that
651
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:48.079
ball as it crosses home plate, if that challenge is upheld.
652
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:51.800
In other words, if the umpire is incorrect, you know,
653
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.639
if the cameras are correct and they disagree with the empire,
654
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.960
then that does not count as one of the two
655
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.719
chances to challenge. So you can you can't continue on
656
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:10.199
as long as the team that challenges is correct as
657
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.039
long as the ABS system upholds the challenge for the
658
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:16.639
team that that questioned it gotcha.
659
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.239
So you can basically be wrong twice right.
660
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.400
Now, if you go into extra innings, it's one each inning,
661
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:24.920
it's one more time each inning.
662
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:26.320
Gotcha?
663
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:27.000
Ext you inning?
664
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:32.519
Okay, So that's the basic thing. So is this in
665
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:34.599
the rule book though, Like, what's the deal with that?
666
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:37.519
No?
667
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:39.559
Okay, Spain.
668
00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:47.039
The ABS rule is not mentioned in the official rule
669
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.039
book of twenty twenty six. Major League Baseball is official
670
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:54.039
rule book of twenty twenty six, and I have been
671
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:57.880
searching around as to figure out why, and I cannot,
672
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.400
but it's not in there. You can download the twenty
673
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:04.000
twenty six rules. You just can't find any mention of
674
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:06.920
ABS system. Now that's in the rule book. You can
675
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:13.719
find descriptions on the Major League Baseball site, but they
676
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:14.639
got in the rulebook.
677
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:17.360
How is this being administered or governed? I mean, at
678
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:20.280
what point could some skipper just walk out and be like, hey,
679
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:21.239
this isn't in the rules.
680
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:23.440
It would have to be collectively bargained right at some
681
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:24.880
point right, I don't remember when.
682
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:25.800
In a CBA.
683
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:29.920
There is an Umpire's Manual twenty twenty six Umpires Manual,
684
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:35.920
and it's described there. But strangely, it's it's as if
685
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.679
Major League Baseball did not commit.
686
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:43.440
To the ABS rule. Huh do you ever committed? You
687
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:46.760
know a lot of its like a pilot program. What
688
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:48.920
is it like a pilot program?
689
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.199
Well they're not calling it that, So what is this.
690
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:55.880
Because wasn't it a pilot program?
691
00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:58.920
And I didn't it start minor and then didn't they
692
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:00.480
do spring training out of don't know if it was
693
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:03.000
last last year and then the okay, and then this
694
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:04.159
year they introduced it.
695
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:08.360
So yeah, because last year the UMPS tossed a few
696
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.039
guys who did the hand signal for the challenge after,
697
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:15.920
you know, because they were doing it in spring training,
698
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:17.440
and then there were a few guys that sort of
699
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:20.800
carried that way as through as a way to like disagree.
700
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:20.760
With the call.
701
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.199
They would go and touch their helmets and then the
702
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:29.079
umps tossed them for showing them up essentially, And so, yeah,
703
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:30.679
how is this operating without a rule?
704
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:35.119
Yeah, well it is a bit of a mystery, and
705
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:36.639
I think, you know, the rules are a little bit
706
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:38.280
dysfunctional because of that.
707
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:41.280
Actually, that is to me.
708
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:43.760
It's actually pretty shocking that it's not in the twenty
709
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.519
twenty sixth rulebook. Now, the twenty twenty six rules are
710
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.559
released only a couple of weeks ago. They are released
711
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:51.599
a couple of weeks into the season, which is also
712
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:54.280
kind of odd. The rules are not released to the
713
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:58.000
public on opening day or before opening day. They are
714
00:40:58.039 --> 00:40:59.239
released a couple weeks later.
715
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:01.559
Is that every year or is that just this year?
716
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:02.360
Every year?
717
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:05.360
Okay, so why are they doing this?
718
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:10.639
It is an oddity. It's it's I don't know, it's
719
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:13.239
a it's a mystery. I do not have an explanation
720
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:15.880
or an excuse for Major League Baseball.
721
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:19.880
That's just you know that as a baseball person, that
722
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:23.440
strikes me as strange because nearly everything in baseball has
723
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:28.400
a long, complicated explanation with details in a story, and
724
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:31.800
this happened this time, and it happened this one other time,
725
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.039
and somebody said, but it could do this, and so
726
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.400
then we had to come up with this, Like there's
727
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:42.280
depth and and uh minutia involved in baseball rules and
728
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:43.519
they didn't bother to include this.
729
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:44.039
All right, So.
730
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.440
Now here's the real question, like how is this working?
731
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:51.599
How that That's what I want to really want to know, Like,
732
00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.679
so far we're a few months into the season. How
733
00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:59.159
is ABS and the challenge system effectively working out for
734
00:41:59.440 --> 00:41:59.920
for the game?
735
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:07.320
Well, first of all, it depends how interesting you are
736
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.920
in knowing that the ball is zero point three inches
737
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:14.039
outside of the strike zone. You know, to me, it's
738
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:19.360
a little too much detail. But in terms of what
739
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.719
it means is the strike zone has been redefined.
740
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:25.480
Yeah, so that's the thing, right, There isn't the strike zone,
741
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:29.039
So how do you know where the strike zone is?
742
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:30.320
How do the cameras rank the zeron?
743
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:35.000
Previously, from day one of baseball up until this year,
744
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:39.039
the strike zone was a if you pitch it like
745
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:45.480
a three dimensional projection above home plate. The strike zone
746
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:51.519
was this three dimensional shape in space that was the
747
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:55.519
dimensions of home plate, and it had a height and
748
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:59.400
a you know, had a lower height and an upper height.
749
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:00.480
Right.
750
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:03.960
The low height and upper height was based on the
751
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:10.440
batter's body when that batter was in batting position, so
752
00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:14.000
the batter would crouch. And the definition of the strike
753
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:17.079
zone is really vague. It was it ranged like I
754
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:19.920
said it was. It was projected up from home plate,
755
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.840
a three dimensional shape went to five sides, yep. And
756
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:29.440
the bottom of the strike zone was the top of
757
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:33.920
the knees or the hollow of the knees, the hog
758
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.679
the back of the knees, right, yeah, yeah, the hollow
759
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.920
of the batter's knees, and the top was the midpoint
760
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:46.800
of the batter Torso, so it was vague to start with, right,
761
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:48.280
I mean, you can't really see the back of the
762
00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:51.039
hollow of the knees, you can't really figure out where
763
00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:53.719
the midpoint is, so it's vague to start with. So
764
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:57.960
what the strike zone is now, it's a two dimensional plane.
765
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:04.880
It is in the middle of home plate. It is
766
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:06.800
the width of home plate, like it has always been
767
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:10.079
seventeen ishes wide with a home plate, but now it
768
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:16.679
is based on the batter's each batter's standing height when
769
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.800
they're not wearing cleats, how is it? And let me
770
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:26.000
tell you what that is. So the strike zone is
771
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:33.559
take the batter's height multiplied by fifty three point five
772
00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:38.039
percent of his height, and that's the top limit of
773
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:41.119
the strike zone. Fifty three point five percent.
774
00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:44.920
Where did they get that from the bottom.
775
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:49.519
Is twenty seven percent of the batter's height. So it
776
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.280
has nothing to do with the batter crouching anymore. So
777
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.880
the batter, if the batter crouch is more or less
778
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:02.039
doesn't matter. It is this bizarre percent based on the
779
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:04.039
batter's hype without cleats.
780
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:08.280
So what if who loads They say they get scanned
781
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:10.360
every year. This year they people have to do some
782
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:10.880
type of scan.
783
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:12.519
What if we get called up to the show, do
784
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:14.039
they scan you on your way up?
785
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:19.360
Well, they must know the batter's hype, each batter play,
786
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:19.920
each batter.
787
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:24.360
But okay, so traditionally, right, you might look on the
788
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:26.199
back of a baseball card that would tell you like
789
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.320
the batter's you know, stats, and it might have like
790
00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:30.760
a height and a weight, and a lot of times
791
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:35.159
people are like, yeah, sure that he's not that tall
792
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:41.039
or he is or whatever. Yeah, that happens a lot.
793
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:42.679
It certainly happens in basketball.
794
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:44.400
So like why.
795
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:49.639
What why there's a lot of room for manipulation. What
796
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.920
if jose al too? They somehow they say that he's
797
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:56.079
six feet tall. I mean there's no way, right, guy's
798
00:45:56.159 --> 00:45:57.360
four to ten on a good day.
799
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:04.239
Well, they must have a more uh, they must have
800
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.239
a proper way of knowing what each is right in
801
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:11.079
the rule book. Oh no, it's not a rule book. No,
802
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:13.400
ABS is not just the new strike zone is not
803
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:14.119
in the rule book.
804
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:16.000
So what are we doing here?
805
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:17.639
We're just making ship up as we go.
806
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:20.360
I mean, look, I take your point that the strike
807
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:22.079
zone was always kind of made up.
808
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:23.639
Right as a kid, we all learned the same thing.
809
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:26.039
It's your knees and it's your shoulders, but nobody ever
810
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:26.960
calls the shoulders.
811
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:29.320
And there's the letter high and it's like it's rare
812
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:31.159
that you get called for a letter high strike zone
813
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:33.079
and it's the person behind the plate.
814
00:46:33.239 --> 00:46:35.320
Like it's right, isn't it.
815
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:40.639
The umpire I remember quibbling about like letter high, Like
816
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:42.840
a letter high strike is a thing, right, there's a
817
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:47.199
word for this, this this ball that passes you and
818
00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:50.039
you know, you get called and you're like, that was
819
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.679
a letter high and I'm like it's a strike.
820
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.000
You know you're out?
821
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:57.199
What do you but now that's not even real?
822
00:46:57.280 --> 00:46:58.440
What are dan?
823
00:46:58.559 --> 00:46:59.719
We can't this.
824
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.119
You need a rules based society. We can't just be
825
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:05.840
making up baseball as we go. We're not Avner Doubleday here.
826
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:09.639
How are we? How is this happening where there's no
827
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:13.639
How could the CBA allow for this? The Players Association
828
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:16.800
has to have some input here, right, needs? I don't know.
829
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:19.440
Yeah, it's fun. Why I'm not saying that.
830
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:25.320
I will sum it up by saying it's unexplainable. I
831
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:28.119
don't know why it's not in the rule book. I
832
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:33.760
don't know the game up with with fifty three percent?
833
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.239
When I said fifty three, I said, yeah, fifty three
834
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:38.440
point of the batter's height?
835
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.639
What the hell does that even mean? Which I cannot know?
836
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.440
This is so think about this now, from the umpire's
837
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:47.440
point of view or from the catcher's point of view,
838
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:50.679
there are no landmarks.
839
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.880
Right, how can he possibly judge this because he can't
840
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:56.639
even look at the shoulders or the needs or the
841
00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:57.599
letters or anything.
842
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:00.400
Yeah, it's not even guessing where the hob than me
843
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:06.000
is there is nothing tangible when the batter comes out
844
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:08.800
to bath. There's nothing tangible that would determine the height
845
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:12.280
or the upper height or the lower height of the
846
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:12.880
strike zone.
847
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.840
And what if you throw like a wicked slider that
848
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.519
comes and crosses the plate deeper than that plane is? Now,
849
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.719
like you could do that. I've seen it, right, I've
850
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:31.079
personally been I've swung on them. Right, the pitch that
851
00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:35.599
comes in on you or in this case outside and
852
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:39.480
cuts across, and you're like, that's definitely a ball, but
853
00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:42.360
it does catch because it used to be a five
854
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.280
sided column, right.
855
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:51.679
Yeah, yes, so that anymore, that's that's not the case anymore.
856
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:54.360
What you said was right last year. It was a
857
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:58.920
three dimensional, invisible, three dimensional shape. So if you manage
858
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:02.800
to pitch in a way that curved around the back
859
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:05.440
of a home plate.
860
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:07.880
Yeah, caught the back corner. I mean, like every other
861
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.760
pitch Tom Glavin ever threw, Like, what are we talking
862
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:14.199
about here? Yeah, so Glavin couldn't pitch in an ABS
863
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.679
world because painting the black no longer counts.
864
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:23.079
Correct, It is now a two dimensional plane.
865
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:24.960
But it's not in the rules.
866
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:27.519
But it's not in the rules.
867
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:29.079
I'm getting pissed off, all right.
868
00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:36.519
The other question really about this is for me watching
869
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:41.840
layperson watching, it appears that there is and I'm not
870
00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:43.039
gonna say who I think it is.
871
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:44.880
I'm gonna let you guys say who you think it is.
872
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.719
There is a particular group of players who are better
873
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:55.960
at challenging this strike zone calls than other groups of players.
874
00:49:56.440 --> 00:49:58.519
And I want to know who you think that is.
875
00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:06.199
Just watching, I know who it is.
876
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:07.519
Oh, you know who it is?
877
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.239
All right, test you know who. I know who I
878
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:10.679
think it is. I don't know if it's right.
879
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:15.039
But what do you think test of like the group
880
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.760
of players who are doing Yes, yeah, there's this, there's
881
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:21.440
one group of players that are better at calling this
882
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:22.559
than anybody else.
883
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:26.960
I mean, for me, I would say it from what
884
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:29.400
I've seen, it's just the catchers are the ones. Yes,
885
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:31.599
the best catchers catch.
886
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:35.039
So I know that pitchers think more things or strikes
887
00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:38.239
than are uh and I know that from personal experience.
888
00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:43.760
And but I think catchers are the most accurate at
889
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.920
challenging this, and and I wonder what the actual stats.
890
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:49.559
Some are bad though, I mean because I've seen some
891
00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:52.960
who've had just on the nets alone, like Milita's take,
892
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:53.480
But if.
893
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:57.559
The catcher calls for the challenge, he's probably getting it right.
894
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:00.280
That's what I That's what I've noticed, Dan, what's the
895
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:01.159
actual answer here?
896
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:05.559
Well, so, first of all, the players who can challenge
897
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:08.519
a pitch or the catch of the pitcher and the batter.
898
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:10.559
Yeah, it's not like the shortstop is challenging.
899
00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:12.559
Yeah, it's not like everyone else can challenge it, right,
900
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:16.159
not the manager can't do it. So it's out of
901
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:19.400
those three, and who is more correct. It's the person
902
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:23.480
who is actually in a better position to see where
903
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:27.400
the ball is going, and that's the catcher. Yeah, so
904
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.119
that he just has a better the catch has just
905
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:33.400
has a better advantage point. And also the catcher knows
906
00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:35.840
where it's you know, where the glove is going to
907
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:38.079
catch it, so there's a bit of a physical sense.
908
00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:40.880
He has a feedback too, because right when he even
909
00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:43.599
if he's framing the pitch, he knows where it hit
910
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:46.639
him in the mid so he can get a feel
911
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:49.199
for like where it was relative to the to the
912
00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:49.920
plate position.
913
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.679
Yeah. Now that being said, catches are about sixty to
914
00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:58.920
sixty five percent correct, so still yeah, so you know,
915
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.000
almost uh to three times.
916
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:07.199
Yeah, and how what's the accuracy rate of the pictures below?
917
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:08.679
Forty below forty?
918
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.119
Yeah, so every picture is sure?
919
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:13.480
What are you talking about, Blue? That was a strike?
920
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:16.960
Some teams are preventing their pictures from challenging.
921
00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:20.639
No, it does sounds that's smart. It sounds like it's smart.
922
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:23.440
You get some hot headed picture up there, burns two
923
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:26.519
challenges and two pitches and then he screws his all team.
924
00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:30.239
Yeah, yeah, I guess the you there, what have you
925
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:33.840
found down to be like the best areas to do
926
00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:34.480
this song?
927
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:37.239
Like I assume, like for me looking at that too,
928
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:38.679
you don't try the game.
929
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:40.360
Yeah, and not early in the game, but like I
930
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:42.360
assume you really want to do this, probably like when
931
00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:44.880
you have people on base, Like, but is there like
932
00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:47.760
the specific area that we've seen people's like in like
933
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:54.320
to Chip's point, like the strategy of this, I think it's.
934
00:52:54.320 --> 00:53:01.239
More to do with the probability that the catcher is correct.
935
00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:04.280
You know, who have a challenge it the probability in
936
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:06.920
their mind that they are correct and that they don't
937
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:10.440
agree with the vampire's call. So it could be anything, uh,
938
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:14.840
you know, ranging from strategy to ego.
939
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:19.760
Yeah, but I would imagine if you think about the
940
00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:22.639
way that sabermetrics or all this stuff has changed baseball
941
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:25.480
so drastically. At some point there'll be enough data on
942
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:28.920
this that somebody will be able to figure out when
943
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:31.480
what innings are good to challenge in, what innings are not,
944
00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:33.840
what situations are good to challenge in? What good you
945
00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:36.159
know in the same way that you know like when
946
00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:39.159
when to send the runner or whatever. You can map
947
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:41.719
this out. It's like, is it worth making the attempt
948
00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:45.440
to steal in given situation? Sure there's always an ego
949
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:50.280
percentage there, but by and large that doesn't.
950
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:53.920
These guys are pros right that that mostly gets suppressed.
951
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:58.199
I'm not saying one hundred percent, but like, eventually they'll
952
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:01.880
learn not to get hot head and waste challenges. Also,
953
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:05.320
like pitchers could burn their own hitters by challenging on
954
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:08.800
on stuff that they threw, right, when then their hitters
955
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:11.599
want a challenge and they don't have they can't.
956
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:18.079
Yeah, well, well baseball is full of statisticians, right, advising
957
00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:22.679
the teams, and now we've got AI in the mix. Yeah,
958
00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:26.440
so AI is going to maybe see things even the
959
00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:30.840
statisticians and not seeing. So yeah, there is no shortage
960
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:32.920
of data in baseball. You know, it's very interesting about
961
00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:38.440
baseball is it's very digital to start with, Unlike.
962
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:40.719
Like the players all have numbers, like you know, like
963
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:44.440
a you know, you can describe a double play by
964
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:46.280
a series of numbers, for example.
965
00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:53.599
Yeah. Yeah, But also unlike something like like soccer or football,
966
00:54:54.719 --> 00:55:01.000
baseball is based on one pitch, one ball, one strike,
967
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:04.960
one hit, one single, one double. You know, it's very
968
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.920
it's very it lends itself very well to statistics.
969
00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:11.360
Yeah, I said that.
970
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:11.639
So.
971
00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:14.400
My dad is a huge baseball guy. He's also an economist.
972
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:17.360
And I have said from the for the the longest
973
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:18.880
time that I think the reason that a lot of
974
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:22.880
economists love baseball is that baseball exists primarily to generate
975
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:27.480
numbers that then can be sliced and diced and examined forever.
976
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.559
The game is incidental. It's the data that it produces
977
00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:32.880
that everybody cares about.
978
00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:33.719
Yeah.
979
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:36.920
The other thing that baseball is conducive to, and the
980
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:41.840
reason it has existed over the decades is that it
981
00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:45.000
was very easily listened to on radio.
982
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:48.159
Oh yeah, the cadence of baseball on radio is perfect.
983
00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:49.000
Yeah. Yeah.
984
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:51.679
There was also no better sound in the world.
985
00:55:53.079 --> 00:55:55.639
Yeah, you don't have to, you don't necessarily have to
986
00:55:55.719 --> 00:56:00.280
see it happen, right, So, yeah, baseball is intro thing
987
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:04.719
from a whole lot of aspects. Now, the other thing
988
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:07.719
that's going on with the ABS system is while uh,
989
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:11.880
Major League Baseball wants to shorten the games as much
990
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:15.199
as possible, the challenges are adding about five minutes to
991
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:15.760
each Right.
992
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:17.880
Yeah, I was gonna say, like the NFL had this
993
00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:21.440
problem that replay made the game so long that then
994
00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:23.239
they got rid of it all together, and then people
995
00:56:23.320 --> 00:56:26.280
wanted it back, and now it's basically back to making
996
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:27.039
the game so long.
997
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:30.159
I'm okay with these five minutes to add it to it.
998
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.119
Like it's forget to get it right.
999
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:32.840
I think.
1000
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:35.880
I mean yeah, and I do, at least inside this,
1001
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:38.280
I mean I think inside the stadium and even watching
1002
00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:42.719
it on television, it fans seem to really enjoy this
1003
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:46.000
in like in like whether you get it right or wrong,
1004
00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:49.519
Like there's a feeling of when that jumps up onto
1005
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:52.320
the the screen and folks are waiting to see it,
1006
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:55.920
like it feels different, like it definitely, I think I
1007
00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:56.880
think it's a success.
1008
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:02.559
But the ABS challenges or the replay challenges like you know,
1009
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:05.760
whether somebody's safe on a tag or whatever, lend themselves
1010
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:08.079
very well to television and in the stadium where there's
1011
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:10.800
a jumble tron, they do not lend themselves to radio.
1012
00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:11.320
No.
1013
00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:14.800
Now once, when you're in the middle of this challenge,
1014
00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:17.519
you've got you gotta chatter for a good two three
1015
00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:20.320
minutes to like fill this time while the umps are
1016
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:23.719
figuring out what all is going on. That's I mean,
1017
00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:26.000
baseball announcers are great at that. But I'm just saying,
1018
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:28.880
like that's yet another And look, I grew up with
1019
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:30.639
John Miller on the radio calling the Orioles. So you
1020
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:33.039
need to talk about like a luxury living as a
1021
00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:35.880
kid with listening to that voice tell you what's going on.
1022
00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:39.239
Is like I didn't I probably didn't.
1023
00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:40.760
Appreciate it as much as I should have at the time,
1024
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:43.880
but it is incredible. But yeah, I mean, they gotta
1025
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:45.960
fill time, right, They got to explain what's happening in
1026
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:46.519
the challenge.
1027
00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:51.519
Yeah, and you know on radio, well, E've ben in television,
1028
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:53.760
baseball has a sound and a pace to it. And
1029
00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:59.039
you know, I've not watched the game before where where
1030
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:01.480
the announcers have not talk about the.
1031
00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:04.719
Food in this Yeah, right, they're talking about the food.
1032
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:07.679
The restaurants that they went to last night. You know,
1033
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:10.480
there's a lot of a lot of chatter going on
1034
00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:13.239
because at the pace of the game lends itself to that.
1035
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:15.519
You want to get that in football, right, you want
1036
00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:18.519
to get that in soccer, But in baseball, you know,
1037
00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:21.400
people can chat with you know, the announcers can chat
1038
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:21.880
with each other.
1039
00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:24.559
Yeah, you certainly don't get that in basketball or hockey
1040
00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:28.800
or anything that's that fast. All right, So a little
1041
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:34.800
while ago there was a rule problem with switch pitchers
1042
00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:39.159
and switch hitters that there we finally had a few
1043
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:41.599
guys who could throw gas left or right handed, and
1044
00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:44.360
so there would get to be this this problem that
1045
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:47.199
had not really come up before, where you got a
1046
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:52.480
switch hitter who faces off against you know, say, lefty pitcher,
1047
00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:53.920
and he's like, all right, I'm gonna hit from the
1048
00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:57.079
from the right side, and then the pitcher switches and
1049
00:58:57.119 --> 00:58:59.880
he's like, aha, I'm right handed, and then he's like, oh, okay,
1050
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:03.159
I guess I'm gonna hit from the left side. And
1051
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:05.079
so they had to put a stop to that. What
1052
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:06.360
what is the official pose?
1053
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:07.760
Where are we at with that? Because I didn't.
1054
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:09.800
I didn't hear if it all got finalized or whatever.
1055
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:13.199
Well, you definitely can't switch, as you know, when the
1056
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:15.920
batter comes up. The batter can't take a couple of
1057
00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:18.320
left handed swings and then a couple of right handed swings.
1058
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:23.239
I thought they were allowed to switch twice. Not not
1059
00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:25.320
not during an apt.
1060
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:28.360
Not during the tournament bat not not when they're at bad.
1061
00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:33.199
Okay, but they can they could switch in How many
1062
00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:35.760
ambidexter's pitchers are in the majors right now?
1063
00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:36.360
Are there any?
1064
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:40.039
Oh? That's a good question. I don't know what the
1065
00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:41.599
actual number, So I.
1066
00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:43.920
Know there was there was like a couple in the
1067
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:47.199
minors and they had these weird myths that had six
1068
00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:49.039
fingers so they could switch.
1069
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:50.639
Yeah, so they could switch hands.
1070
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:56.559
Yeah, that's sort of like a backwards gym Abbott situation. Yeah, okay,
1071
00:59:56.639 --> 00:59:59.199
so we don't know what the or it is finalized.
1072
00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:00.519
You can't switch during at bad.
1073
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:07.880
Yeah, Yeah, that's a really good question. How many are
1074
01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:11.199
how many are in the how many people switching batting
1075
01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:13.360
or pitching? That's a good question.
1076
01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:16.639
How many switch pitchers are there in the majors right now?
1077
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:17.360
All right?
1078
01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:21.840
So then there's also this this rule about relievers have
1079
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:25.599
to face three batters before there's a pitching change. So
1080
01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:28.000
like it used to be you'd bring in a guy
1081
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:29.960
to get one out, and then you'd bring in another
1082
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.559
guy to get one out, and like it would drag
1083
01:00:32.639 --> 01:00:35.960
the game out because every pitching change was like, you know,
1084
01:00:36.079 --> 01:00:39.079
seven minutes or whatever, and yeah, time for a commercial.
1085
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:42.119
So what what are uh what is the current rule
1086
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:44.960
and and when was that finalized?
1087
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:48.079
That rule was in place last year, so that's not
1088
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:49.840
it is not new this year.
1089
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:51.599
All right.
1090
01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:53.840
And then the other question, this one came from from
1091
01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:57.159
my dad, which is really just sort of to ask
1092
01:00:57.280 --> 01:00:59.920
your comments on this the Otani rule.
1093
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:04.079
What is the Otani rule and explain the details of that.
1094
01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:08.920
Well, what do father say about it?
1095
01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:13.480
Well, I mean, I know what it functionally means. That
1096
01:01:13.639 --> 01:01:16.199
was just really the question. But you know, so the rule,
1097
01:01:16.400 --> 01:01:19.000
the rule has always been in baseball. That that unlike
1098
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:20.960
in say basketball, where you can come out and sit
1099
01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:23.679
on the bench and come back into the game, right, Uh,
1100
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:26.159
In baseball, once you're out, you're out right. You can't
1101
01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:28.400
come back into the game, not even at a different
1102
01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:30.559
position or anything. The only thing that you could and
1103
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:32.320
and you know, you're in the same place in the
1104
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:35.079
lineup even if you change positions or whatever. So but
1105
01:01:35.199 --> 01:01:40.639
with Otani, because he is serving as pitcher and when
1106
01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:44.360
he isn't pitching, he's dhing. Now that there's d H
1107
01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:48.280
in the National League, they made a rule that says
1108
01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:50.920
he can come out of the game as pitcher and
1109
01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:54.760
still keep his spot in the lineup as DH. But
1110
01:01:54.840 --> 01:02:00.119
then they can replace the pitching portion of his of
1111
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:03.000
his existence or I don't know what to call it,
1112
01:02:03.119 --> 01:02:05.360
but that's the rule, right.
1113
01:02:06.119 --> 01:02:09.360
That's the rule. And keep in mind that Major Baseball
1114
01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:11.119
wants a lot of action on the field.
1115
01:02:11.920 --> 01:02:14.400
Right Why No, I'm not disagreeing with the rule, But
1116
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:17.280
does it apply to anybody other than show Oh, I
1117
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:17.519
don't know.
1118
01:02:17.599 --> 01:02:22.639
It's a good question too. These are trick questions. There
1119
01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:25.000
could be I don't know, there could be other players
1120
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:26.559
players where that that applies.
1121
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:28.000
Well.
1122
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:32.840
The reason I'm thinking about that is Otani is in
1123
01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:38.519
our lifetimes, extremely unique in that he is a dominant
1124
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:43.599
hitter and a dominant pitcher. But it's not that unique
1125
01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:46.440
if you look back in the early days of baseball.
1126
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:48.920
Certainly Babe Ruth is the one that comes to mind,
1127
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:51.519
right that he was such a good hitter that they
1128
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:53.880
they changed him and made him not a pitcher anymore
1129
01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:56.199
because they wanted his bat in the lineup as often
1130
01:02:56.239 --> 01:02:58.920
as possible. If they had had this rule, the Otani
1131
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:01.360
rule in place, then with a dh which of course
1132
01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:04.840
they didn't have, then you know, Ruth might have been
1133
01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:08.239
a two way player that was that famous. But most
1134
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:13.320
of the guys playing in high school who are absolute
1135
01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:18.360
fire throwers on the mound are also frequently very good hitters,
1136
01:03:19.239 --> 01:03:22.960
and it isn't until they get drafted or go to
1137
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:26.320
college or whatever that they stop playing to a ball.
1138
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:30.360
And I'm wondering if the Tani rule is likely to
1139
01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:34.320
see more of that, you know, in the pipeline, because
1140
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:35.880
it has opened the door for it.
1141
01:03:36.119 --> 01:03:38.239
And are there other because I mean.
1142
01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:40.719
It's it makes sense, That's what I'm thinking.
1143
01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:46.239
Yeah, and think about training too, because if you are
1144
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:50.840
pitching and batting, then you're spending half your time training
1145
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:55.119
on pitching and the other half training on batting, so
1146
01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:58.960
you get half the training in each position as other
1147
01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:02.199
players who are just bad or just bitching, So that
1148
01:04:02.360 --> 01:04:03.480
can certainly have an effect.
1149
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:08.239
Yeah, but Otani is demonstrated, and again I know he's
1150
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:11.480
a phenom, But he can't be the only one. There
1151
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:15.199
will eventually be other two way players that are at
1152
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:19.920
least competent enough at both positions, who can hit well
1153
01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:21.960
enough that it's worth having their bat in the lineup
1154
01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:25.360
and throw well enough that it's worth having them in
1155
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:25.960
the rotation.
1156
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:30.119
Yeah, it's just it's just hard for them to get
1157
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:34.039
there because I mean, they could be naturally gifted, of course, right,
1158
01:04:34.519 --> 01:04:39.280
but the training is still had for each position, I
1159
01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:42.639
guess as intense as if they're just training for batting
1160
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:45.480
or just training for or pitching. Is it?
1161
01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:49.320
I feel like it's an honor to be on the
1162
01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:52.840
planet living and breathing at the same time as Shoeotani.
1163
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:55.920
Uh do you think that that is a thing that
1164
01:04:56.320 --> 01:05:01.320
we will, like our great grandchildren will be like telling
1165
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:04.480
these stories of like, oh man, there was this guy
1166
01:05:04.639 --> 01:05:05.840
and he was the only guy.
1167
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:07.360
And he did this incredible thing.
1168
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:12.840
I don't know, athletes are getting more and more surprising
1169
01:05:13.559 --> 01:05:17.119
as the years go on. But yeah, I think I think,
1170
01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:19.519
you know, he'll he'll be uh somewhat of.
1171
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:21.599
A legend, somewhat.
1172
01:05:22.800 --> 01:05:26.079
Yeah, I think about the future. I'm talking about the future,
1173
01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:28.239
and he'll he'll be you know, he'll be legendary.
1174
01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:30.719
People will talk about Tony the way they talk about
1175
01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:33.199
about Babe Ruth or Ted Williams or somebody like that.
1176
01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:36.440
But then what if someone else comes along? I mean,
1177
01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:38.239
because you were just saying that it would be another too,
1178
01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:40.679
a competent one. What if another one comes along? Because
1179
01:05:40.679 --> 01:05:45.320
again Todayan's point, these athletes have changed, like they've changed.
1180
01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:48.199
Obviously they're not They're not the same, and across all
1181
01:05:48.239 --> 01:05:51.760
the four major sports, they they're different, right, I think
1182
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:54.039
I even even if you look at something like people
1183
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:57.920
scaling the wall now and robbing home runs before, you
1184
01:05:58.000 --> 01:05:59.679
know that was kind of like, oh, a novelty you
1185
01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:03.000
have every week and does it every week? Like every
1186
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:05.360
week there's someone who's scaling the wall and bringing you
1187
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:07.880
back over the fence. I feel like that wasn't always
1188
01:06:07.960 --> 01:06:10.079
the case. I feel like that was more of a
1189
01:06:10.159 --> 01:06:13.280
novelty at a point. So yeah, I think the athletes
1190
01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:15.880
are at a highlight. Are you frozen?
1191
01:06:16.119 --> 01:06:16.159
No?
1192
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.000
Or you just that's yeah, he is frozen?
1193
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:19.239
Right?
1194
01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:22.400
Okay? Good? All right? I was worried for a second.
1195
01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:28.679
All right, maybe no, he's definitely frozen. I I was
1196
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:30.599
looking at him and I was like, wait, he just
1197
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:32.280
has this stuck look on his face.
1198
01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:34.480
He was just memorized by what you were saying.
1199
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:37.719
It was very weird. I was looking. I was like,
1200
01:06:37.760 --> 01:06:40.239
what I know, I did the show with him enough time.
1201
01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:41.199
Something's wrong with him.
1202
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:44.679
Then another question I had is like around, because I've
1203
01:06:44.719 --> 01:06:47.159
even noticed this around And maybe I don't think it's
1204
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:51.960
specific to like massing in the Orioles and the Nationals
1205
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:55.920
broadcast here, but like these the packages feel like they've
1206
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:58.719
all went like it's hard to find this on TV
1207
01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:03.519
for certain teams, like Nationals have like their own streaming platform.
1208
01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:06.800
And I mean I was talking to someone. I was
1209
01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:11.679
talking to a bartender at a popular bar here or
1210
01:07:11.760 --> 01:07:13.519
bar chain here in DC, and he was just like,
1211
01:07:13.599 --> 01:07:15.320
I was like, hey, you got the Nationals game, Like
1212
01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:17.639
you have an MLB package? He was like, no, since
1213
01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:20.519
it's moved off of standard TV, I don't have that.
1214
01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:25.639
And I'm wondering, like between that and making it more
1215
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:28.320
difficult to find it, and then obviously there's the CBA
1216
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:31.840
that's gonna come up. Is there a possibility squander away
1217
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:33.880
like this good will that I feel like there's been
1218
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:36.519
the last three four years, Like baseball feels like it's
1219
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:39.599
back like they does the league mess this up?
1220
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:41.440
I guess it's a more succinct way to say that.
1221
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:45.079
I'm thinking, yes, you know, I've got the same problem
1222
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:49.039
looking for the Yankees game right, and you know Thursdays
1223
01:07:49.159 --> 01:07:52.360
like today, I think it's on Amazon Prime, which I have,
1224
01:07:52.760 --> 01:07:55.039
but I just wasn't, you know, I was in a
1225
01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:58.440
different room, not in my Amazon Prime room. So and
1226
01:07:58.880 --> 01:08:03.159
I do feel like I've got a search like one,
1227
01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:04.199
is there a game today?
1228
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:04.480
Two?
1229
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:05.400
Where is it?
1230
01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:06.639
Right?
1231
01:08:07.639 --> 01:08:10.599
And you would think like Baseball would want to get
1232
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:14.920
the game out there to everybody, as many people as possible,
1233
01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:21.880
as often as possible. But it seems to be more
1234
01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:26.279
and more difficult to find a game, you know, unless
1235
01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:30.600
you're paying some subscription or or or you know you're
1236
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:34.039
watching it streamed online, or it just does it does
1237
01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:39.960
seem counterproductive for what Major League Baseball is expecting to
1238
01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:42.439
do for their future. I mean, the reason they shorten
1239
01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:45.680
the game is so that more people would be able
1240
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:48.239
to watch it, right, you won't dedicate three and a
1241
01:08:48.279 --> 01:08:50.199
half hours or maybe like two and a half hours
1242
01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:54.880
to the game. So they're looking for a future, you know,
1243
01:08:54.920 --> 01:08:57.439
they're looking for fans, they're looking for people to watch,
1244
01:08:58.039 --> 01:09:00.720
but making it more difficult to find. Again, it seems
1245
01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:02.359
like it's counter productive.
1246
01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:03.319
Is.
1247
01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:05.079
I know?
1248
01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:08.800
Because I want to follow up because I've seen where
1249
01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:13.199
a lot of the clubs are doing their individual subscription things,
1250
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:16.239
and you know, the pricing I feel is like pretty
1251
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:20.039
respectfully decent for those who are true fans of their team.
1252
01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:24.680
At least my issue would be is like again for
1253
01:09:24.840 --> 01:09:26.880
the well, I'm gonna say an issue for me because
1254
01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:29.359
mind you, I am you know, full time Orial fan.
1255
01:09:29.479 --> 01:09:33.119
I'm okay for wherever they you know, they play on
1256
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:35.640
if I want to get a subscription, I can. I
1257
01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:38.000
just think it's like, for like, what you guys are
1258
01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:41.279
talking about is the average fan. And I think that
1259
01:09:41.439 --> 01:09:44.399
the fact since you know, you know back you know
1260
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:47.479
minears you and I Dan, we're old enough to remember,
1261
01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:49.720
you know, the you know, Baseball game of the week
1262
01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:53.319
on NBC, and you know, just at least seeing that,
1263
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:56.319
you know, one game, particular game, even though our team
1264
01:09:56.399 --> 01:09:58.560
is not on there or respectable teams and I at
1265
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:00.840
least we get to see a game there once a week.
1266
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:06.720
Do you feel that with the expansion of television medium
1267
01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:10.279
in not just cable, but with subscription stuff, is it
1268
01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:14.560
really getting more difficult for fans just to even focus
1269
01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:16.960
on at least one game and not just on your team,
1270
01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:19.359
but just in a particular sport in general.
1271
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:22.800
Yeah, and then you know, also the economy is not
1272
01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:26.439
doing great for a lot of people. Cable television is
1273
01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:30.119
already expensive, so you're paying so much for cable as
1274
01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:32.359
it is. The bills that come in you know, every
1275
01:10:32.439 --> 01:10:36.640
month are high enough as it is, so there's reluctance
1276
01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:41.840
to add a subscription to that. So it's almost like
1277
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:43.880
you get like ticked off. I'm paying so much for
1278
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:49.279
my cable already, but I can't find a game. So
1279
01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:53.359
I think it's it's I think it just turns people
1280
01:10:53.479 --> 01:10:58.720
sour on the idea of watching the game. And you know,
1281
01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:02.880
let's face it, a lot of alternatives of things to watch. Yeah,
1282
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:06.359
there's so many things. There's so much media out there,
1283
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:10.520
not necessarily sports, but there's plenty of other things to
1284
01:11:10.680 --> 01:11:15.319
divert your attention away from sports. So, you know, Make
1285
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:18.920
League Baseball, like all sports, needs to figure out what
1286
01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:23.600
its feature is. Uh, it needs to accumulate fans, you know,
1287
01:11:23.720 --> 01:11:27.079
especially young well, all fans of all ages, but you know,
1288
01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:29.720
younger fans are going to have more long jeffarity in
1289
01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:30.640
watching the game.
1290
01:11:31.359 --> 01:11:35.680
So yeah, it seems like, uh seems like a contradiction
1291
01:11:36.680 --> 01:11:42.359
that they would uh ask for subscriptions for at least
1292
01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:45.479
some of the games or limit viewership for at least
1293
01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:46.079
some of the games.
1294
01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:52.239
Yeah, we'll see chip up as well too, where we're hopefully.
1295
01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:53.760
We'll talk about subscriptions.
1296
01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:55.880
Yeah, I gathered that part. I.
1297
01:11:56.279 --> 01:12:00.720
I I think it's ridiculous that I can't watch the
1298
01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:02.479
Orioles even though I've already got.
1299
01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:06.640
All right that the good there you are. That's exactly
1300
01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:07.159
where we're at.
1301
01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:10.079
And like some of my friends are complaining that they
1302
01:12:10.079 --> 01:12:12.359
don't have the Nats games now too, because like it's
1303
01:12:12.439 --> 01:12:17.039
not on, there's no like, but my file still has both.
1304
01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:18.640
And I think it's because maybe we just have a
1305
01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:20.479
sports package that let's see all the things.
1306
01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:23.279
But yeah, I don't care.
1307
01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:27.319
But but I that's the question, the question that was,
1308
01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:30.760
but the question that we were kind of like debating,
1309
01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:33.439
is that baseball seems to have built so much good
1310
01:12:33.600 --> 01:12:36.600
will over the last four or five years, right and
1311
01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:42.319
between the like this fragmented way of trying to actually
1312
01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:44.880
watch the games. Right, No one can find the damn
1313
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:48.319
games right unless you have these highest subscriptions that you
1314
01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:49.199
have to pay for them.
1315
01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:52.199
And then like again this because I know they just
1316
01:12:52.319 --> 01:12:53.399
dropped this first edition.
1317
01:12:53.479 --> 01:12:54.960
I haven't had a chance to even dive into it,
1318
01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:58.079
but like the CBA is, I mean, it's coming up,
1319
01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:02.800
They're gonna have another like collect the break.
1320
01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:02.399
On their hands.
1321
01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:05.079
I think there has to be like they want the
1322
01:13:05.239 --> 01:13:08.000
they want salary cap. And I don't think the players
1323
01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:10.279
Union is going for this. And we know that they're
1324
01:13:10.319 --> 01:13:13.920
the strongest union like probably in this country. Right I
1325
01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:16.680
would say the Baseball Union is the strongest union in
1326
01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:17.199
this country.
1327
01:13:17.720 --> 01:13:21.600
Yeah, I don't. I don't know where that's gonna go.
1328
01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:24.159
We'll probably have to watch and see. If I had
1329
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:26.680
to guess, I would say that the players are gonna
1330
01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:29.439
win out, but there's probably gonna be a lockout for
1331
01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:30.199
some period of.
1332
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:34.560
Time, which will damage the relationship with the fans.
1333
01:13:34.680 --> 01:13:40.199
Again, I don't know, is a crazy It's it's an
1334
01:13:40.199 --> 01:13:43.520
abusive relationship really because like we all want to watch
1335
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:47.920
and and stuff and listen to baseball and and go
1336
01:13:48.119 --> 01:13:51.199
to games and be part of baseball, and like baseball
1337
01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:54.720
really hates its fans, and historically.
1338
01:13:55.640 --> 01:13:58.079
I think it's baseball owners not baseball.
1339
01:13:59.399 --> 01:14:02.119
Owners own their fans. Let's start there.
1340
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:05.760
Yeah, the first day I heard the other day it's
1341
01:14:05.800 --> 01:14:08.479
like the first day the sports owners think about the fans,
1342
01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:11.520
that'll be the first day that they ever think about them.
1343
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:14.399
Well, you know, the price of tickets is also prohibitive.
1344
01:14:15.319 --> 01:14:17.560
Yeah, consists.
1345
01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:20.960
You used to be able to go to baseball dirt cheap.
1346
01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:23.319
That was the whole that's the whole point one hundred
1347
01:14:23.319 --> 01:14:25.039
and sixty two of these games. You can't be charging
1348
01:14:25.079 --> 01:14:27.319
a ton of money for him. You know the seats
1349
01:14:27.359 --> 01:14:28.640
that we used to have a can they were eight
1350
01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:33.800
bucks and they were you know, Sunday home games. Yeah,
1351
01:14:33.800 --> 01:14:35.560
they were good seats. They were behind home plate on
1352
01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:37.680
the upper deck in the shade. They were perfect. They
1353
01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:40.680
went up to thirteen, that was we considered that egregious.
1354
01:14:40.680 --> 01:14:42.279
When they got up to twenty, we dropped them.
1355
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:44.159
Nuts.
1356
01:14:44.680 --> 01:14:45.399
Can't afford that.
1357
01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:49.119
Yeah, look at the fallout from the World Cup.
1358
01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:51.159
Yeah, they've got there.
1359
01:14:51.279 --> 01:14:53.680
They've got a lot of unsold seats because they made
1360
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:56.640
them too expensive, and they bought all these hotel rooms.
1361
01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:58.720
FIFA bought all these hotel rooms that.
1362
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:00.600
They were going to sell in those packages, and they're
1363
01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:02.920
so expensive and nobody can afford them, and they can't
1364
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:04.560
give visas, so nobody's coming.
1365
01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:07.479
And only in America do we take this type of
1366
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:12.079
abuse from like the sports leagues and like ticket sales
1367
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:16.199
in general, because everywhere else they riot over shit. They
1368
01:15:16.359 --> 01:15:20.760
literally riot, right all right, everybody, you know what, I'm
1369
01:15:20.880 --> 01:15:23.479
so sorry that we're playing around with you and your money.
1370
01:15:24.079 --> 01:15:24.760
Apologies.
1371
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:28.239
Here they're like people's like, oh, gold mine. Then they'll
1372
01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:29.359
go in the secondary market.
1373
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:35.159
Americans don't care about soccer and that it's just about
1374
01:15:35.560 --> 01:15:38.840
being there for Instagram photos to show your friends or something,
1375
01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:41.840
and and people will pay for that. But like you know,
1376
01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:45.760
in Britain, there's there's I could give you probably ten
1377
01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:50.199
examples right now of where fans have occupied stadiums right
1378
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:54.920
until they get what they need, like for days.
1379
01:15:55.039 --> 01:15:57.640
I don't mean for like a while after the game.
1380
01:15:57.760 --> 01:15:58.880
I mean for days.
1381
01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:02.119
They'll occupy high a stadium until the ownership caves.
1382
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:03.920
I don't know why we don't do that here.
1383
01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:07.159
It's insane.
1384
01:16:07.880 --> 01:16:09.800
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens with
1385
01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:12.359
the World Cup because you know, at least around here
1386
01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:16.199
in New York area, so many people interested yeah watching it,
1387
01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:18.239
I mean so many, so many people who are just
1388
01:16:18.399 --> 01:16:23.279
very passionate about it, but at the same time they're
1389
01:16:23.319 --> 01:16:26.880
kind of getting screwed out of nobody can afford.
1390
01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:27.880
To pick it at all?
1391
01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:31.600
Can you can you afford the train or whatever they're
1392
01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:34.000
doing to get out to freaking MetLife.
1393
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:36.720
I heard, oh, that's up the price of that.
1394
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:38.880
That was like, oh, it's seven bucks and it's like
1395
01:16:38.920 --> 01:16:40.640
one hundred and two hundred bucks to get out there.
1396
01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:43.520
Now, No, that's down here. It's a news item every
1397
01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:45.279
day how much it's going to cost to get to
1398
01:16:45.720 --> 01:16:46.239
the stadium.
1399
01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:50.279
The city had this whole thing that they're like, oh, well,
1400
01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:52.520
we're gonna make a free bus that goes there. Okay, great,
1401
01:16:52.560 --> 01:16:55.079
But like then parking for the free bus is a
1402
01:16:55.159 --> 01:16:58.199
billion dollars and everything else is a billion dollars.
1403
01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:01.239
It's cheaper to go to Mexico City to watch a
1404
01:17:01.359 --> 01:17:02.720
match anywhere.
1405
01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:07.680
Maybe this is why we need two hundred and fifty
1406
01:17:07.680 --> 01:17:08.560
dollars bills.
1407
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:14.520
There. It is right, I need, I need.
1408
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:20.960
But it's also a thing where like if you if
1409
01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:25.039
you make it prohibitively expensive to attend a game baseball
1410
01:17:25.159 --> 01:17:27.680
or otherwise, people won't and they will watch it home,
1411
01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:29.520
or they will listen on the radio and they will
1412
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:33.159
they will or stream it or whatever. And so that's
1413
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:36.760
why they're making it so difficult to stream. But they're
1414
01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:39.520
not also like they're trying to box us in. I
1415
01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:42.159
feel like, you know, they're trying to cut off Avenue.
1416
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:45.039
Hard to watch on TV and hard to go. Yeah, yeah,
1417
01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:47.760
that's how you don't you lose the sport.
1418
01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:50.239
They're they're they're trying to make it so we can't
1419
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:52.640
watch baseball. I think it's time to occupy these stadiums.
1420
01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:55.720
That's that's that's the right thing to do. Is we're
1421
01:17:55.720 --> 01:17:58.439
gonna have to occupy Camden until they drop the prices
1422
01:17:58.479 --> 01:17:59.680
back down to thirteen dollars.
1423
01:18:00.359 --> 01:18:01.720
And that's it.
1424
01:18:03.640 --> 01:18:05.000
I mean, can you eat.
1425
01:18:05.640 --> 01:18:07.920
I think they're I think they're shooting themselves in the
1426
01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:10.960
foot with a lot of these with a lot of
1427
01:18:11.039 --> 01:18:11.560
these issues.
1428
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:14.800
Yeah, well you'll be able to predict that in your
1429
01:18:14.840 --> 01:18:19.760
next book. So then I do have another rules question,
1430
01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:23.880
which is it gets around so like last time you
1431
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:26.560
were here, we talked about the torpedo bat. Right, whatever
1432
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:29.119
came of the torpedo bat. Did there was there a
1433
01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:30.840
change in any of the rules or anything like that.
1434
01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:34.199
No, I am so disappointed. I thought torpedo bats were
1435
01:18:34.239 --> 01:18:37.439
going to be super cool and people were going to
1436
01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:40.079
be hitting that ball all over, all over the all
1437
01:18:40.159 --> 01:18:41.039
over the field.
1438
01:18:41.119 --> 01:18:43.239
And it was a minor improvement at best.
1439
01:18:44.399 --> 01:18:46.960
Yeah, and not everyone is warming up to it. Not
1440
01:18:47.079 --> 01:18:50.279
every not every play is warming up to it. Some
1441
01:18:50.520 --> 01:18:54.039
bat is prefer it, and I can understand why because
1442
01:18:54.079 --> 01:18:58.000
it feels different than other bats. But there's not an
1443
01:18:58.039 --> 01:19:01.359
amazing improvement in hitting power. Are if you know, if
1444
01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:02.359
there was, every.
1445
01:19:02.199 --> 01:19:04.119
Batter would be everybody would do it instantly.
1446
01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:07.520
But so I'm kind of disappointed. I thought it was
1447
01:19:07.680 --> 01:19:14.800
I thought it was a very uh believable idea that
1448
01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:18.479
by moving the weight of the bat center gravity of
1449
01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:22.359
the way to the middle of the bat, uh, the
1450
01:19:22.479 --> 01:19:25.359
swing would be faster and the.
1451
01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:29.000
You know, the sweet spot would be it makes a
1452
01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:29.880
sweet spot bigger.
1453
01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:34.520
Yeah, sweet spot would be bigger. So, you know, I'm
1454
01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:38.359
sure there's you know, I like watching those videos where
1455
01:19:38.479 --> 01:19:42.640
they slow up the compression of the baseball when it
1456
01:19:43.279 --> 01:19:45.640
wall it hits the bat or something, you know, And
1457
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:50.359
so my initial impression of the torpedo bat was that
1458
01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:57.000
if you take the weight out of the far into
1459
01:19:57.039 --> 01:20:01.560
the bat and you move it to the middle, then
1460
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:06.119
if you for instance, it's the way I think of it.
1461
01:20:06.399 --> 01:20:10.039
If the bat was made of hard rubber, okay, and
1462
01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:14.560
you whacked it and you had the weight at the
1463
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:15.920
end of the back, but you hit it in the
1464
01:20:16.199 --> 01:20:18.560
sweet spot, I bet that bat would.
1465
01:20:20.840 --> 01:20:23.920
Bit and you lose energy and do it that if
1466
01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:25.960
now the the fat part of the bat is in
1467
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:28.079
the middle, it's a hard rubber bat and you hit
1468
01:20:28.119 --> 01:20:30.640
in the middle, it's not going to deform or not
1469
01:20:31.239 --> 01:20:33.239
not going to deform because you're hitting right in the
1470
01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:36.479
sweet spot and that's where the weight is. So that
1471
01:20:36.680 --> 01:20:39.560
was my that was my initial vision of why I
1472
01:20:39.640 --> 01:20:41.920
thought why I had high hopes for the torpedo bat,
1473
01:20:42.239 --> 01:20:44.039
or at least why I thought the torpedo.
1474
01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:47.920
Bat was going to work. But that's not working out
1475
01:20:47.960 --> 01:20:48.560
to be the case.
1476
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:49.600
Now.
1477
01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:55.039
The far into the bat is swinging fastest simply because
1478
01:20:55.079 --> 01:20:57.840
it's the far end of the bat. Yeah, so it
1479
01:20:57.920 --> 01:20:58.159
has to.
1480
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:03.119
So that offsets the idea of the sweet spot a
1481
01:21:03.199 --> 01:21:06.720
little bit, because you know, it's the sweet spot doesn't
1482
01:21:06.760 --> 01:21:09.840
have the same speed as the far end of the back.
1483
01:21:10.439 --> 01:21:10.640
Yeah.
1484
01:21:10.720 --> 01:21:15.439
That's the classic thing to explain to people about rotation
1485
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:17.760
and speed, like which part of the record is moving
1486
01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:20.960
faster the grooves in the middle versus the grooves on
1487
01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:24.079
the outside of the record, and you're like, well, they're
1488
01:21:24.199 --> 01:21:26.720
obviously moving at the same speed or the sound would
1489
01:21:26.760 --> 01:21:30.640
be different. Well, no, actually, the outside's going much further
1490
01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:32.239
per rotation than the inside.
1491
01:21:32.279 --> 01:21:34.399
So how that confuses the hell out of people?
1492
01:21:34.640 --> 01:21:37.239
But it's the same and the outside of the record.
1493
01:21:37.680 --> 01:21:43.960
Yeah, slightly, you do because the speed and thus the compression.
1494
01:21:44.079 --> 01:21:46.479
But it also that's that's the thing that people can't
1495
01:21:46.520 --> 01:21:49.079
really see, but that the grooves, the compression rate of
1496
01:21:49.159 --> 01:21:51.079
the grooves is different on the outside of the record
1497
01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:52.359
than it is on the inside of the record to
1498
01:21:52.399 --> 01:21:56.319
account for that speed difference. But so the question that
1499
01:21:56.399 --> 01:21:59.079
I wanted to ask about, like maybe upcoming rules, right,
1500
01:21:59.119 --> 01:22:02.720
because part of your job is to write about new
1501
01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:04.920
rules as they come, so you probably need to try
1502
01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:06.880
to predict a little bit or think a little bit
1503
01:22:06.920 --> 01:22:12.520
about that. Is there's this new sort of pitching strategy
1504
01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:16.880
that has appeared in some places. And there's kind of
1505
01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:20.960
two parts to this thing. One is the outright bullpen game.
1506
01:22:21.439 --> 01:22:22.039
That's not new.
1507
01:22:22.199 --> 01:22:26.119
Necessarily, the bullpen game has existed for a long time, right,
1508
01:22:26.159 --> 01:22:30.239
where you don't have necessarily a starter, but you run
1509
01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:34.159
the game by having a series of relievers come in
1510
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:36.479
for two to three innings at a time or something
1511
01:22:36.600 --> 01:22:39.439
like that and do that. But now there's this thing
1512
01:22:39.680 --> 01:22:43.399
with the opener, the idea that the same way, you've
1513
01:22:43.399 --> 01:22:45.439
got a closer whose job it is is to throw
1514
01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:48.720
gas for one inning and get three outs and that's
1515
01:22:48.760 --> 01:22:50.960
all he's got to do. Now they've taken that same
1516
01:22:51.039 --> 01:22:53.079
idea and put it to the front of the game
1517
01:22:53.479 --> 01:22:55.479
where you want to just get the first three guys
1518
01:22:55.520 --> 01:22:57.319
out and get out of that first inning, and then
1519
01:22:57.359 --> 01:23:00.359
your starter comes in, which obviously then he isn't actually
1520
01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:03.880
the starter. But it seems like there's an obvious solution
1521
01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:07.640
to that, which is we'll move the order down. Right,
1522
01:23:07.760 --> 01:23:09.720
if you think you're about to face somebody who's going
1523
01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:13.279
to put it in an opener, then just move your one, two,
1524
01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:16.439
and three into the four, five, and six position and
1525
01:23:16.640 --> 01:23:19.199
put your clean up guy in the in the seventh spot.
1526
01:23:20.560 --> 01:23:22.039
Is there going to need to be a rule that
1527
01:23:22.199 --> 01:23:26.039
explains like a starting pitcher has to go two innings
1528
01:23:26.159 --> 01:23:26.800
or something like that.
1529
01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:31.760
I don't know. If we want rules about strategy.
1530
01:23:32.640 --> 01:23:35.920
Yeah, well they've already got the rule about the pictures
1531
01:23:35.920 --> 01:23:37.079
having to face three batters.
1532
01:23:37.079 --> 01:23:38.800
That's that's kind of what got me thinking about this.
1533
01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:48.479
Yeah, yeah, I don't know that would that would I
1534
01:23:48.560 --> 01:23:52.239
feel that's wrong. Will it happened, I don't know, But
1535
01:23:52.680 --> 01:23:55.640
I just feel there's a little bit too much manipulation
1536
01:23:55.840 --> 01:23:58.239
going on at some point. There's just a little too
1537
01:23:58.319 --> 01:23:59.520
much manipulation going on.
1538
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:03.760
I think that, like the problem with the opener is
1539
01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:07.760
that it's just creating like another arms race, where there's
1540
01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:11.000
there's an obvious solution, right that the managers will just
1541
01:24:11.119 --> 01:24:13.920
move the order, and then what do you then then
1542
01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:16.039
what will they respond with? Okay, well then we'll have
1543
01:24:16.199 --> 01:24:19.760
a guy throw one inning, then inning two and then
1544
01:24:19.840 --> 01:24:22.960
inning three or like, you know, then you are playing
1545
01:24:22.960 --> 01:24:24.319
a legit bullpen game every game.
1546
01:24:24.359 --> 01:24:25.399
What are we doing here?
1547
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:26.039
What is this?
1548
01:24:26.720 --> 01:24:28.720
Is the opener a bad move? What's what's the deal?
1549
01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:31.479
So what you're saying is it'll offset you know, if
1550
01:24:31.520 --> 01:24:33.439
that was the case, it would off set you know,
1551
01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:34.800
the batting order would offset that.
1552
01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:38.079
Yeah.
1553
01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:40.119
Well, I mean if that's the case, then it's sort.
1554
01:24:39.960 --> 01:24:40.520
Of a wash.
1555
01:24:40.760 --> 01:24:43.239
So why make it a you know, why do it?
1556
01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:45.199
But they are doing it?
1557
01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:48.960
Yeah, so, but the rule, but you wouldn't have to.
1558
01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:51.039
I guess you still don't need a rule though, right,
1559
01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:55.319
even if you take your suggestion of moving folks down
1560
01:24:56.119 --> 01:24:58.439
in the lineup, like, you don't need.
1561
01:24:58.399 --> 01:25:00.520
To rule added to any of this at all because
1562
01:25:00.600 --> 01:25:01.359
your names don't.
1563
01:25:01.560 --> 01:25:03.319
I'm just thinking about.
1564
01:25:04.600 --> 01:25:05.039
In the city.
1565
01:25:05.079 --> 01:25:07.359
Okay, So because you think they want folks to stop
1566
01:25:07.479 --> 01:25:10.199
the stop the opener is that, yeah, a.
1567
01:25:10.239 --> 01:25:14.960
Way to to stop that as a strategy, because the
1568
01:25:15.039 --> 01:25:20.119
way it just okay, like if you think about a closer, right,
1569
01:25:20.439 --> 01:25:24.640
think about the closer. He he's got incredible power. He
1570
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:27.680
can throw you know, ninety nine, but he can do
1571
01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:29.840
it for like a total of twenty pitches and then
1572
01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:33.800
he's just completely cooked. So it doesn't make sense to
1573
01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:36.640
carry more than one of those guys in your lineup.
1574
01:25:37.000 --> 01:25:37.600
You might have a.
1575
01:25:37.640 --> 01:25:40.760
Setup guy who you can occasionally see these bullpens are
1576
01:25:40.880 --> 01:25:45.039
throwing like, I mean, these new bullpens are some of
1577
01:25:45.119 --> 01:25:47.319
these folks are throwing gas.
1578
01:25:48.039 --> 01:25:49.600
I know they are, that's what.
1579
01:25:49.800 --> 01:25:51.960
But what I'm saying is that as a closer, I
1580
01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:55.439
would say, yeah, like, I've only got so many pitchers
1581
01:25:55.520 --> 01:25:59.039
you can carry on a roster. Okay, So if you're
1582
01:25:59.439 --> 01:26:02.640
it's worth it to have a guy who's only good
1583
01:26:02.680 --> 01:26:06.239
for one inning. If he's your closer, that might be
1584
01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:08.600
worth it. But are you going to use up lineup
1585
01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:12.199
spots for guys who are openers who can also throw
1586
01:26:12.359 --> 01:26:14.840
only one inning they really don't have the arm strength
1587
01:26:14.880 --> 01:26:17.680
to do it for a second inning or not. And
1588
01:26:17.840 --> 01:26:19.680
if if you are going to do that and know
1589
01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:22.640
that you can be easily defeated by a shift in
1590
01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:26.239
the lineup, then are you even less likely to do it?
1591
01:26:26.319 --> 01:26:28.640
I'm I'm maybe it's not a rules question, but it
1592
01:26:28.760 --> 01:26:30.600
is a question of like, what what are we doing
1593
01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:33.159
with this opener? What is the purpose of this and
1594
01:26:33.800 --> 01:26:34.720
will it survive?
1595
01:26:34.920 --> 01:26:38.399
Are we still going to start depending on your starting rotation,
1596
01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:40.239
that's when you have to use one.
1597
01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:42.960
Well, I kind of get where Chip is kind of
1598
01:26:43.039 --> 01:26:46.399
going with it because of the fact that you have
1599
01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:52.119
a lot of pitchers nowadays are on these pitch count
1600
01:26:52.199 --> 01:26:56.479
timeline right there, count limited, So you pretty much I've
1601
01:26:56.520 --> 01:26:59.199
seen this in a lot in cause baseball. You know,
1602
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:03.079
you know most of the starters, they're they're not going
1603
01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:06.600
like you know, preparing to be a five to six
1604
01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:09.960
inning guy. It's usually like maybe three or four innings,
1605
01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:14.920
right and he's out. So and if you're thinking in
1606
01:27:15.039 --> 01:27:19.479
that aspect. You know, yeah, I feel like, you know
1607
01:27:19.800 --> 01:27:22.079
it kind of I'm not even been a fan of
1608
01:27:22.159 --> 01:27:24.279
the pitch count anyway, because it's to me, it's a
1609
01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:28.199
mental thing for a picture, because you know, I felt like,
1610
01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:31.079
you know, I've seen guys who look like they have
1611
01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:35.560
no gas left and still going. And you know, again,
1612
01:27:35.880 --> 01:27:40.239
I'm old school back in the day, but I kind
1613
01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:44.000
of agree. I kind of understand now where the managers
1614
01:27:44.600 --> 01:27:48.039
have to really adjust because a lot of pictures with
1615
01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:51.279
not just the pitch count limit, but also the fact
1616
01:27:51.279 --> 01:27:54.880
that these crazy arm injuries that you're just happening out
1617
01:27:54.880 --> 01:27:59.640
of nowhere and everyone's getting Tommy John like left and right.
1618
01:28:00.199 --> 01:28:01.640
They're just throwing so much harder.
1619
01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:04.399
But we saw, we saw pitch counts like as a
1620
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:07.880
rule in World Baseball Classic right where you couldn't throw
1621
01:28:07.920 --> 01:28:09.880
a complete game even if you were in you know.
1622
01:28:10.079 --> 01:28:12.800
Well that because they have to agreement because most of
1623
01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:14.680
these guys are still in spring training.
1624
01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:15.880
Mode and in it.
1625
01:28:16.199 --> 01:28:19.800
But we saw, Okay, so the other day, like what
1626
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:23.039
last week, we saw, they're not Oakland anymore.
1627
01:28:23.079 --> 01:28:24.880
But I don't know the new word to call them.
1628
01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:32.079
So there was a pictures who was going he was
1629
01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:34.119
deep in a no hitter.
1630
01:28:35.479 --> 01:28:37.520
Yeah, he was deep in a no hitter, and he
1631
01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:39.960
got all the way to the to the ninth and
1632
01:28:40.079 --> 01:28:42.479
he blew it and right he ended up losing the game.
1633
01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:46.960
But like that drama of I've seen a no no
1634
01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:49.000
if you've never seen one in real life, it's an
1635
01:28:49.079 --> 01:28:53.960
incredible experience. I feel like the chances of a single
1636
01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:56.439
pitchure no hitter. There have been now these like combined
1637
01:28:56.520 --> 01:28:59.680
team no hitters, several of them. But that's weird to me.
1638
01:28:59.720 --> 01:29:01.800
I don't like, if a guy's got a no no going,
1639
01:29:01.840 --> 01:29:03.159
don't take him out? What are you doing?
1640
01:29:03.640 --> 01:29:05.920
It's it's like against everything baseball. You know, you don't
1641
01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:07.520
talk to him, you don't mention it, you don't do
1642
01:29:07.600 --> 01:29:09.239
all this. This is all these things in the dugout.
1643
01:29:09.239 --> 01:29:10.680
You don't look at him, don't shake his hand, blah
1644
01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:13.760
blah blah. Then you're gonna like, oh, yeah, but you're
1645
01:29:13.760 --> 01:29:16.439
at seventy nine pitches, you know, one more and you're done.
1646
01:29:16.680 --> 01:29:16.960
What what?
1647
01:29:17.199 --> 01:29:19.920
What what are we talking about here? Can't do that,
1648
01:29:20.119 --> 01:29:20.600
can't do that.
1649
01:29:20.680 --> 01:29:22.479
It's not baseball again again.
1650
01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:25.800
Risk, Yeah, you can't risk the injury at a certain
1651
01:29:25.800 --> 01:29:27.439
I mean yeah, at a certain point.
1652
01:29:27.439 --> 01:29:30.000
I'm with you on that, but I you can't like
1653
01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:31.079
the managers.
1654
01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:34.359
I agree, I agree.
1655
01:29:34.479 --> 01:29:34.600
Right.
1656
01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:39.279
So you know, in terms of real changes and starting pitchers,
1657
01:29:41.279 --> 01:29:46.239
from Major League Baseball's point of view, they will consider
1658
01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:49.000
what is going to put more action on the field
1659
01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:54.479
and get more people into the stands or get more
1660
01:29:54.560 --> 01:29:56.079
viewers or baseball fans.
1661
01:29:56.560 --> 01:30:01.880
Three quick strikeouts does not do that, right, Yeah, yeah,
1662
01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:04.880
so that'll do something to discourage it.
1663
01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:09.640
Yeah, are not automatic though either.
1664
01:30:09.560 --> 01:30:11.000
Like sick love the long ball.
1665
01:30:12.800 --> 01:30:14.840
Well, you know a lot of the rules, new rules
1666
01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:18.479
are in place to put the picture at a disadvantage
1667
01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:22.279
because Eddy too good. Right, So the reasons is that,
1668
01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:24.479
you know, the reason the action on the field is
1669
01:30:24.920 --> 01:30:28.319
not high is because the pictures are getting better than
1670
01:30:28.319 --> 01:30:28.840
the batters.
1671
01:30:30.439 --> 01:30:32.520
Now you've hit this problem. You want to speed the
1672
01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:36.720
game up. Let the pictures be great. Three k's in
1673
01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:39.439
a row, bam, bam, bam. That's that's great. There was
1674
01:30:39.560 --> 01:30:42.399
no action though, between that and the shift that people
1675
01:30:42.439 --> 01:30:43.159
were staying.
1676
01:30:43.439 --> 01:30:46.720
Action between the mound and the plate. That's where the
1677
01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:47.279
action is.
1678
01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.840
You can't that that can't continue, not for the growth
1679
01:30:50.920 --> 01:30:53.600
of the game. You can't have You just can't.
1680
01:30:53.720 --> 01:30:56.720
Like it's not speaking of pitching though, Like I just damn,
1681
01:30:56.760 --> 01:30:59.520
I gotta get your thoughts on this Mislewski guy.
1682
01:30:59.640 --> 01:31:01.680
It's he that's insane.
1683
01:31:02.319 --> 01:31:06.680
I saw that when they came here into DC, and
1684
01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:09.800
I haven't seen anybody throw the ball like that. And
1685
01:31:10.199 --> 01:31:13.680
in me somewhere like over fifty pitches at like over
1686
01:31:13.760 --> 01:31:17.039
one hundred miles per an hour or he's hitting one
1687
01:31:17.079 --> 01:31:18.479
hundred and three at times.
1688
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:20.159
I've never seen doing that.
1689
01:31:20.920 --> 01:31:27.079
Yeah, so you know my background, My doctorate's in biomechanics.
1690
01:31:28.760 --> 01:31:35.399
And your shoulder is a ball and socket joint, but
1691
01:31:35.520 --> 01:31:38.520
it's not much of a ball and socket. It's not
1692
01:31:38.560 --> 01:31:41.600
even really a socket. So what's holding your shoulder in
1693
01:31:41.720 --> 01:31:48.119
place is soft tissue, you know, the rot cuffy. There
1694
01:31:48.199 --> 01:31:52.680
are instances when like a parent and a little kid
1695
01:31:53.000 --> 01:31:55.760
walking down the street. The kid doesn't want to come along,
1696
01:31:55.880 --> 01:31:59.720
The kid just refuses to come. Parently yanks the kid's hands,
1697
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:03.439
it just gets the shouldern. It's horrible, right, but there's
1698
01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:08.720
nothing holding that children in break and the forces within
1699
01:32:08.800 --> 01:32:12.520
your body just with normal activity, just like walking down
1700
01:32:12.520 --> 01:32:15.000
the street or walking up steps, the forces within your
1701
01:32:15.039 --> 01:32:19.039
body are really surprising if you look at it mechanically biomechanically,
1702
01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:24.119
the the the amount of pounds of forces really Newton's
1703
01:32:24.119 --> 01:32:26.960
of force within your body is much higher than you
1704
01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:28.640
would even guess, right, tremendous.
1705
01:32:28.680 --> 01:32:30.560
People don't really think about that at all, But even
1706
01:32:30.600 --> 01:32:34.000
like opening a soda or something like that, is it's
1707
01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:35.039
a lot of torque.
1708
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:39.039
Yeah, I do demonstrations in the workshops I do about
1709
01:32:39.239 --> 01:32:43.399
on biomechanics. Sitting up from a chair. If you look
1710
01:32:43.439 --> 01:32:45.560
at the pull on your quadriceps and you look at
1711
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:47.760
the base of mechanics or your body weight and what
1712
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:51.159
you're doing, it's easily five hundred pounds per ag.
1713
01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:53.560
Yeah, it's crazy, insane.
1714
01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:55.880
This is why, this is why when you stand up
1715
01:32:55.920 --> 01:32:58.640
you lean all the way forward because that you know. Now,
1716
01:32:58.840 --> 01:33:01.119
now the dynamics a little bit different because the center
1717
01:33:01.199 --> 01:33:06.920
gravity is is closer to your knees. So the amount
1718
01:33:07.119 --> 01:33:12.159
of damage or strain or where that happens at the
1719
01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:16.319
shoulder when you're pitching in these bizarrely awkward positions. You've
1720
01:33:16.359 --> 01:33:19.439
seen these like still pictures of pitches, right, it's just
1721
01:33:20.159 --> 01:33:23.800
it's really damaging. It can't be really damaging. Your body
1722
01:33:23.960 --> 01:33:28.960
is not designed to pitch at one hundred miles an hour.
1723
01:33:29.039 --> 01:33:31.920
Pitch ball one hundred miles an hour and the smelling.
1724
01:33:31.680 --> 01:33:34.119
Motion is wrong, Like doing this is crazy.
1725
01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:36.880
Right, You're supposed to throw underhand, right, normally, Right, Isn't
1726
01:33:36.880 --> 01:33:39.640
that the that is the way, like a safe way
1727
01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:40.039
to throw?
1728
01:33:40.199 --> 01:33:40.319
Right?
1729
01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:42.439
Like I'm not I'm just saying like for humans, if
1730
01:33:42.439 --> 01:33:45.199
I'm normally throwing something somebody to.
1731
01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:48.880
Save my arm, I shouldn't be doing this. This is unnatural, right.
1732
01:33:49.279 --> 01:33:51.159
That's that's the way I pitched my son on the hand.
1733
01:33:51.760 --> 01:33:54.920
But you've also you've also seen softball games where that
1734
01:33:55.119 --> 01:33:58.239
underhand action is at the light? Is that?
1735
01:33:59.319 --> 01:33:59.720
How is that?
1736
01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:04.000
That's Like I've been watching all the the the super
1737
01:34:04.079 --> 01:34:08.119
regionals and stuff, and like I almost am getting to
1738
01:34:08.199 --> 01:34:11.439
where I love watching like Cobbs softball because the speed
1739
01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:13.680
of it. It's so fast that cameras can't even catch
1740
01:34:13.760 --> 01:34:16.640
up with it, Like it's stupid fast.
1741
01:34:17.119 --> 01:34:20.079
And I remember I watched a video or read this
1742
01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:21.000
thing about.
1743
01:34:22.600 --> 01:34:25.319
Like is there a limit to how far humans can
1744
01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:28.880
shot put a shot put? Like, what's what's the limit here?
1745
01:34:29.199 --> 01:34:32.119
And it's not that that there's like there's there's this
1746
01:34:32.279 --> 01:34:36.399
biomechanical limit where you can only throw this thing so far.
1747
01:34:36.560 --> 01:34:39.439
And if you were to add any more toward general
1748
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:44.560
force to the to the body and propel this weight further,
1749
01:34:44.720 --> 01:34:47.600
it would literally rip everything apart. And that the we
1750
01:34:47.720 --> 01:34:51.760
are at the limit where the tendons cannot sustain this
1751
01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:53.960
kind of thing. Is that the same thing we're seeing
1752
01:34:54.000 --> 01:34:54.680
with the pictures.
1753
01:34:56.520 --> 01:35:00.640
Yeah. The other thing to know is that there is
1754
01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:03.479
a you know, all matter is in a plastic and
1755
01:35:03.600 --> 01:35:09.319
elastic state, and what that means is when things happen
1756
01:35:09.399 --> 01:35:13.760
at high speed, they are much more likely to snap,
1757
01:35:13.920 --> 01:35:18.159
not stretch. Right, Yeah, So think of having having like
1758
01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:20.720
like a piece of clay or something that you can
1759
01:35:21.319 --> 01:35:23.960
like draw out and stretch goes real slow, it gets
1760
01:35:24.000 --> 01:35:26.920
longer and long and longer. What putty or something?
1761
01:35:27.000 --> 01:35:30.079
Right do it?
1762
01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:33.680
Fastening snaps when someone was in a high speed accident,
1763
01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:40.800
Like when this like skiing snow skiing and they get
1764
01:35:40.840 --> 01:35:45.720
into an accident, the lake doesn't break, it shatters. I
1765
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:47.840
mean it's it's not like it's not like one crack
1766
01:35:47.880 --> 01:35:51.520
in the leg. It really shatters, right places. Same thing
1767
01:35:51.560 --> 01:35:54.680
with auto accidents. You know, in a high speed auto accident,
1768
01:35:55.600 --> 01:35:59.239
bones at that speed will tend to shatter, so the
1769
01:35:59.359 --> 01:36:02.399
speed it would someone is throwing a baseball or softball
1770
01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:06.279
also has an effect. It's not like they're doing it slowly.
1771
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:09.840
The fast they do it, the more they are prone
1772
01:36:09.920 --> 01:36:15.239
to injury, just because of the the mechanics of speed, the.
1773
01:36:15.319 --> 01:36:19.359
Lack of elasticity at that at that speed, the material
1774
01:36:19.520 --> 01:36:23.920
that the body is made of, if if the same
1775
01:36:23.960 --> 01:36:26.840
amount of force was applied to it slowly and carefully,
1776
01:36:27.439 --> 01:36:29.439
would allow for that motion.
1777
01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:32.520
But if it's applied quickly, it snaps.
1778
01:36:32.600 --> 01:36:35.399
This is what you're saying, correct, correct, And that's that's
1779
01:36:35.560 --> 01:36:40.560
true of virtually all materials. Yeah, right, like body, your
1780
01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:42.960
body parts included well, and water is.
1781
01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:45.920
The thing, right, That's easy to explain this with the
1782
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.560
difference between if you push into the water, it's easy
1783
01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:51.199
it gets out of your waiver, versus if you slap
1784
01:36:51.640 --> 01:36:53.399
the surface of the water, it doesn't get out of
1785
01:36:53.439 --> 01:36:57.439
your way. So uh, and that's the water hasn't changed.
1786
01:36:57.560 --> 01:36:59.920
But the speed at which you're you're applying the force,
1787
01:37:00.039 --> 01:37:01.880
the force amount is the same too, but the speed
1788
01:37:01.920 --> 01:37:03.680
at which're applying it is shifted.
1789
01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:07.199
Yes, yeah, that's a good way to visualize it.
1790
01:37:07.720 --> 01:37:07.920
Yeah.
1791
01:37:08.800 --> 01:37:12.720
Okay, So now that we've asked you everything about biomechanics
1792
01:37:12.800 --> 01:37:15.920
and pitching and how on baseball pitch counts are and
1793
01:37:16.039 --> 01:37:20.079
whatever else. We do want to ask where people can
1794
01:37:20.119 --> 01:37:22.359
get the book and is there a new update coming
1795
01:37:22.520 --> 01:37:24.760
for twenty seven or what's what's the deal with that
1796
01:37:25.640 --> 01:37:26.000
the book.
1797
01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:29.319
Yeah, so what we're doing is we're looking at the
1798
01:37:29.399 --> 01:37:31.439
next printing that's coming up. It's going to be the
1799
01:37:31.520 --> 01:37:37.840
fifth edition coming up, although they have they actually just
1800
01:37:37.920 --> 01:37:41.359
started printing reprints of the fourth edition. So what we're
1801
01:37:41.359 --> 01:37:45.760
going to do immediately is put an insert into the
1802
01:37:45.800 --> 01:37:48.159
book with all these rule updates that actually may be
1803
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:51.359
a better approach because the rules seem to be changing
1804
01:37:52.079 --> 01:37:55.199
and Major League Baseball is not committing. And then of
1805
01:37:55.239 --> 01:37:57.359
course we're going to put these updates on our website too.
1806
01:37:58.119 --> 01:38:02.119
So the book is still you know, ninety nine percent
1807
01:38:02.159 --> 01:38:05.000
of the rules is still intact. Sure, it's just their
1808
01:38:05.079 --> 01:38:07.720
modifications some of them. Some of the modifications are really
1809
01:38:07.800 --> 01:38:10.680
slight and sort of you know, like trivial, it's wording
1810
01:38:10.760 --> 01:38:13.479
of a couple of things. But the fact that ABS
1811
01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:17.319
is not committed to the rules of baseball makes me
1812
01:38:17.439 --> 01:38:20.199
wonder what else they are going to be changing soon.
1813
01:38:22.119 --> 01:38:26.840
But yeah, so Baseball Field Guide It is at Amazon
1814
01:38:27.000 --> 01:38:30.199
or anyplace else where you can buy books. Look for
1815
01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:37.119
the fourth edition, third printing of the fourth edition, and yeah,
1816
01:38:37.239 --> 01:38:40.880
it's not that expensive. We have almost five stars on Amazon,
1817
01:38:42.000 --> 01:38:47.119
and sometimes the stars that we don't get is because
1818
01:38:47.159 --> 01:38:49.119
people can't find it in the book. But we have
1819
01:38:49.239 --> 01:38:51.600
designed it to make it as easy to find as possible,
1820
01:38:52.560 --> 01:38:54.800
you know, make the rules as easy to find as possible.
1821
01:38:54.920 --> 01:38:58.399
And you know, in plain English, if you ever tried
1822
01:38:58.439 --> 01:39:02.239
to read the official rules of baseball.
1823
01:39:02.920 --> 01:39:04.600
It's like reading a legal document.
1824
01:39:05.159 --> 01:39:09.079
It's like reading the lease. So so that was our
1825
01:39:09.159 --> 01:39:13.680
opportunity to actually, let's illustrate and explain it, and explain
1826
01:39:13.760 --> 01:39:16.840
it for novices and experts alike. It's not it's not
1827
01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:21.199
a book for novices because a lot of experts are
1828
01:39:21.279 --> 01:39:23.640
also not clear of some of the more complex rules.
1829
01:39:24.640 --> 01:39:27.800
And I love the illustrations that explain a lot of
1830
01:39:27.880 --> 01:39:29.960
that stuff. So I refer to it all the time
1831
01:39:30.399 --> 01:39:32.439
and show people there you go, you got a copy
1832
01:39:32.520 --> 01:39:34.600
of it. There, that's what it looks like.
1833
01:39:36.319 --> 01:39:40.159
Field guide, and it's very specifically design is a field guide.
1834
01:39:40.199 --> 01:39:42.279
So you could be find it's a great bathroom book
1835
01:39:42.439 --> 01:39:45.239
because you don't you don't read it cover to cover right,
1836
01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:48.520
a couple of pages at a time, or one page
1837
01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:49.000
at a time.
1838
01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:52.439
All right, well, look it is a school night.
1839
01:39:52.960 --> 01:39:55.840
We're trying to keep this show relatively on time because
1840
01:39:57.279 --> 01:40:01.880
has voted that way. Uh so we're gonna, uh we're
1841
01:40:01.960 --> 01:40:03.920
gonna go hit our break and go on with the
1842
01:40:04.039 --> 01:40:04.880
third half of the show.
1843
01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:05.880
But one more time.
1844
01:40:06.279 --> 01:40:08.600
There's a website too, right where everybody can get get
1845
01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:09.760
the book and get the updates.
1846
01:40:10.119 --> 01:40:15.760
Baseball field guide dot com, the baseball field guide dot com.
1847
01:40:16.279 --> 01:40:16.640
There you go.
1848
01:40:17.079 --> 01:40:20.439
All right, so go there, get your updates, get the book,
1849
01:40:20.560 --> 01:40:24.039
get the new edition. Can we pre order the new printing?
1850
01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:29.359
Good question. I need to go on Amazon and see that.
1851
01:40:29.520 --> 01:40:36.800
I'm not sure question, great question. Question the worst host
1852
01:40:37.640 --> 01:40:39.600
should have thought about all this stuff ahead of time.
1853
01:40:39.840 --> 01:40:43.000
All right, look that up. I know I know that
1854
01:40:43.239 --> 01:40:45.680

Gone out of the news. If we were real.

1947
01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:32.520
talk about this is the war edition of the Rundown.
1948
01:45:32.640 --> 01:45:34.159
So the Iran war is.
1949
01:45:34.199 --> 01:45:36.920
Back on now maybe back off. This is moving by
1950
01:45:37.039 --> 01:45:42.199
the minute, so just heads up, watch your Twitter feed
1951
01:45:43.239 --> 01:45:49.039
or whatever it's called now. Well truth yeah, right, okay.
1952
01:45:49.680 --> 01:45:52.920
So earlier this week, in the middle of what is
1953
01:45:53.039 --> 01:45:57.800
called a ceasefire, the United States shot at Iran a
1954
01:45:57.920 --> 01:46:01.840
bunch and bombed some things that they said were like, hey,
1955
01:46:01.880 --> 01:46:05.359
they're about to launch a drone or something maybe, and
1956
01:46:05.479 --> 01:46:08.279
then the Iranians shot back and hit Kuwait. But we
1957
01:46:08.600 --> 01:46:11.520
didn't say that they hit Kuwait, and we didn't say
1958
01:46:12.039 --> 01:46:14.479
what got hit. But then the Kuwaitis were like, hey,
1959
01:46:14.520 --> 01:46:17.479
we got hit. And then we're like, oh yeah, that
1960
01:46:18.159 --> 01:46:22.640
that one. So and then Trump was like, oh, yeah,
1961
01:46:22.680 --> 01:46:25.279
we've got a deal, but it's maybe it's a crummy deal.
1962
01:46:25.399 --> 01:46:26.159
That was his words.
1963
01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:28.039
He's like, if it's a crummy deal, I'm not signing it.
1964
01:46:28.279 --> 01:46:29.840
And then he's like, oh, all the Arab.
1965
01:46:29.600 --> 01:46:33.520
Countries have to join the Abraham Accords and Pakistan and
1966
01:46:34.359 --> 01:46:38.239
then he's like and Turkey and Jordan and Egypt, and
1967
01:46:38.520 --> 01:46:41.800
Turkey's like, we've recognized Israel since nineteen forty nine.
1968
01:46:42.159 --> 01:46:44.039
And Jordan's like, we have a peace treaty and he
1969
01:46:44.279 --> 01:46:46.000
was like, we had the first peace treaty. What the
1970
01:46:46.119 --> 01:46:47.159
heck are you talking about?
1971
01:46:48.279 --> 01:46:50.880
So and then he's like, yeah, Iron can join the
1972
01:46:50.920 --> 01:46:53.159
Abraham Accords too, and then Bibi was like are you
1973
01:46:53.239 --> 01:46:59.239
fucking what? No, So, like then the Israelis were like, oh,
1974
01:46:59.279 --> 01:47:00.760
we got to make sure that this doesn't happen. So
1975
01:47:00.800 --> 01:47:03.279
they bomb the shit out eleven on and invaded even
1976
01:47:03.319 --> 01:47:05.239
more of it, and then they flatten some more stuff.
1977
01:47:05.279 --> 01:47:07.520
In Gaza, they found like two or three buildings still standing,
1978
01:47:07.720 --> 01:47:09.560
so they like, you can't let that happen, and they
1979
01:47:09.640 --> 01:47:14.279
ran jose Andres out again, and like, this situation is
1980
01:47:14.359 --> 01:47:17.079
getting the fuel prices made it so that jose Andres
1981
01:47:17.079 --> 01:47:21.279
could feed fewer people in Gaza. Shout out to DC,
1982
01:47:21.439 --> 01:47:23.800
by the way, because like here we are World Central
1983
01:47:23.880 --> 01:47:25.079
Kitchen is like the.
1984
01:47:27.239 --> 01:47:28.960
Thing that feeds people in the world.
1985
01:47:28.880 --> 01:47:33.479
Now and eight Jose Andris DC guy just saying, you know,
1986
01:47:34.520 --> 01:47:38.479
go to Jalalo, enjoy some food, Omel all that good stuff.
1987
01:47:39.000 --> 01:47:43.119
But okay, so like that was what we were going
1988
01:47:43.199 --> 01:47:47.319
to talk about tonight, right, and the Navy was like, yeah,
1989
01:47:47.399 --> 01:47:51.439
we shot it stuff and then uh, now there's pirates.
1990
01:47:51.640 --> 01:47:54.720
Pirates are back also in Somalia because all of the
1991
01:47:55.640 --> 01:47:58.880
Navy assets are focused on the Persian Gulf and the
1992
01:47:58.880 --> 01:48:01.840
straight horror moves the pirates like, hey, nobody's watching, so
1993
01:48:01.920 --> 01:48:04.680
we're gonna do some some olid pirate stuff again. So
1994
01:48:04.920 --> 01:48:08.039
that's also happening because this is good, this is this
1995
01:48:08.239 --> 01:48:11.680
is how we wanted, this is what I'm much voted for.
1996
01:48:11.960 --> 01:48:15.399
In the ending of the AMMO that we've lost. That's
1997
01:48:15.479 --> 01:48:19.800
gonna be the one. The munition depletion is gonna be
1998
01:48:19.840 --> 01:48:21.880
the one that you wonder.
1999
01:48:21.720 --> 01:48:25.359
If maybe Kinda had was like caught up Iran and
2000
01:48:25.520 --> 01:48:28.199
was like, hey, if they start some ship with you,
2001
01:48:28.560 --> 01:48:30.600
drag you out as long as possible. And here's a
2002
01:48:30.600 --> 01:48:33.720
big pile of money to do that, because.
2003
01:48:34.199 --> 01:48:39.399
Yeah, and then there's no strategy involved at all.
2004
01:48:39.880 --> 01:48:44.680
Right, if you use it, it's it's not let you
2005
01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:48.760
slander Pete keg seth like that and say that this
2006
01:48:49.319 --> 01:48:55.079
frat bro with a history of sexual assault has no strategy. Okay,
2007
01:48:55.319 --> 01:48:58.560
this man is a strategic genius. He gets up in
2008
01:48:58.600 --> 01:49:01.840
the morning and he plans which bar he's gonna start
2009
01:49:01.920 --> 01:49:05.159
at and which bar he's gonna end at based.
2010
01:49:04.840 --> 01:49:08.720
On his flying around in helicopters with kid rock schedule.
2011
01:49:08.800 --> 01:49:15.960
Okay, so you take that back, all right, all right,

2013
01:49:21.159 --> 01:49:21.920

and Iran have reached a tenet of agreement to end
2020
01:49:40.880 --> 01:49:43.920
their months long war in the Middle East. Senior officials
2021
01:49:44.000 --> 01:49:47.920
on both sides said Thursday, who we don't Senior.
2022
01:49:47.680 --> 01:49:49.079
Officials have said that I don't think Trump.
2023
01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:51.000
I don't know if it's got in front of him,
2024
01:49:51.079 --> 01:49:53.319
but it comes to the major caveat that President Donald
2025
01:49:53.319 --> 01:49:57.880
Trump and his counterparts in Tehran are reviewing it. Officials
2026
01:49:58.000 --> 01:50:00.680
acknow it's a framework deal filing in in which the
2027
01:50:00.800 --> 01:50:03.560
US and Iranian forces exchanged drone a missile fire in
2028
01:50:03.640 --> 01:50:06.560
the region, highlighting the shaky nature of the ceasefire that
2029
01:50:06.680 --> 01:50:08.159
was declared in April.
2030
01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:09.880
It's not a ceasefire.
2031
01:50:11.119 --> 01:50:11.680
For some reason.
2032
01:50:11.760 --> 01:50:14.800
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson was involved. He told reporters at
2033
01:50:14.800 --> 01:50:18.000
the White House that the tenanted agreement is quote multifaceted
2034
01:50:18.079 --> 01:50:22.840
and awaiting Trump's potential approval. Multifacted is definitely something that
2035
01:50:22.920 --> 01:50:24.000
Trump likes to think about.
2036
01:50:26.680 --> 01:50:27.800
This is so dumb.
2037
01:50:28.279 --> 01:50:30.960
I had a multifascinated once, but then I had to
2038
01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:37.880
give her back and yeah, what sick? Yeah, he has
2039
01:50:37.920 --> 01:50:40.640
several redlines. Besson said, he's not going to make a
2040
01:50:40.680 --> 01:50:43.960
bad deal. Well, he's already done that. Besson said that
2041
01:50:44.039 --> 01:50:45.399
quote nothing is going.
2042
01:50:45.279 --> 01:50:48.960
To be on the table. I don't know what that means.
2043
01:50:49.239 --> 01:50:52.960
But until Iranian officials first agreed to reopen the straight
2044
01:50:53.000 --> 01:50:56.880
of horror moves, which they're certainly not gonna do.
2045
01:50:57.520 --> 01:51:00.520
What what are them?
2046
01:51:00.600 --> 01:51:00.640
What?
2047
01:51:01.760 --> 01:51:05.640
Dude, they have all the leverage. You fucked up, you
2048
01:51:05.800 --> 01:51:09.159
gave them everything. Why would they ever ever ever? What
2049
01:51:09.520 --> 01:51:12.680
deal could you possibly make with them that they're gonna
2050
01:51:12.840 --> 01:51:16.359
be like, all right, we'll give up our nukes.
2051
01:51:16.720 --> 01:51:20.479
Yeah, I mean the new piece. We're not even there yet,
2052
01:51:20.600 --> 01:51:24.239
let alone, we're not gonna ever get there. They just
2053
01:51:24.359 --> 01:51:27.640
need something, they need a framework to run out his presidency.
2054
01:51:29.399 --> 01:51:30.000
I think.
2055
01:51:31.560 --> 01:51:37.479
This is it's just very idiotic war obviously on on
2056
01:51:37.720 --> 01:51:40.560
all like all avenues at this point.
2057
01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:44.239
And I don't I don't know.
2058
01:51:45.359 --> 01:51:47.199
The one thing I think you can give them those
2059
01:51:47.319 --> 01:51:48.479
sanctioned relief that I do.
2060
01:51:48.720 --> 01:51:51.359
I think you could free up some money from them
2061
01:51:51.720 --> 01:51:54.680
in the sense, and then the question is like, like
2062
01:51:55.520 --> 01:51:56.880
does that even make sense?
2063
01:51:58.279 --> 01:51:59.720
What are they gonna do with the money?
2064
01:52:00.199 --> 01:52:02.279
That's the like you you he he.
2065
01:52:02.800 --> 01:52:05.239
His his idea would be to let them back into
2066
01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:08.600
the into some areas of the market, specifically in the
2067
01:52:08.680 --> 01:52:09.800
global oil market.
2068
01:52:09.960 --> 01:52:17.159
Okay, so which I know, I don't I'm with you, Yes,
2069
01:52:17.680 --> 01:52:21.920
I know, yeah what so Okay, I just wish you
2070
01:52:21.960 --> 01:52:24.560
could have took that deal and said and just like, hey,
2071
01:52:24.720 --> 01:52:26.319
you know what, we're gonna fake it.
2072
01:52:26.439 --> 01:52:28.119
We're gonna go in there, we're gonna say, hey, we're
2073
01:52:28.119 --> 01:52:30.479
gonna do we got a new deal, call it the
2074
01:52:30.560 --> 01:52:32.600
Trump Deal, and we just kept everything the same.
2075
01:52:32.880 --> 01:52:33.720
The rest of the world.
2076
01:52:33.840 --> 01:52:36.560
I have seen that ship coming when he like the
2077
01:52:36.680 --> 01:52:38.760
second he looked at the j C po A, he
2078
01:52:38.880 --> 01:52:40.800
was like, I'm gonna kill that thing. And then like
2079
01:52:41.119 --> 01:52:43.279
the world should have been like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
2080
01:52:43.479 --> 01:52:45.760
Come here, buddy, let me let me let's let's put
2081
01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:48.960
your name on this. Let's give you some credit. Can
2082
01:52:49.039 --> 01:52:53.560
you just not be a fucking megalomaniacal maniac for five
2083
01:52:53.760 --> 01:52:57.399
minutes he tears up the deal, he puts us in
2084
01:52:57.479 --> 01:53:00.279
this situation. Biden can't revive it for the time he's
2085
01:53:00.319 --> 01:53:02.960
in charge, because now the whole world doesn't trust America
2086
01:53:03.319 --> 01:53:09.760
to honor its treaties and instantly creates this problem. Now,
2087
01:53:11.359 --> 01:53:15.479
the administration prior in between the Trump administrations is smart
2088
01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:18.199
enough not to like pull the lid off of the
2089
01:53:18.319 --> 01:53:21.000
can of worms. But Trump is not that smart, and
2090
01:53:21.119 --> 01:53:25.439
he does it. He doesn't in spectacular fashion. He bombs
2091
01:53:25.479 --> 01:53:28.000
them with the Israelis and attacks their nuclear stuff, and
2092
01:53:28.079 --> 01:53:30.399
then he starts this. He gets dog walked into this
2093
01:53:30.560 --> 01:53:34.159
war and now he's stuck. He can't extricate himself. He
2094
01:53:34.199 --> 01:53:38.039
has no plan, no idea. He doesn't even know where
2095
01:53:38.079 --> 01:53:42.039
most of this stuff is. He had some dumb shit
2096
01:53:42.079 --> 01:53:45.079
about like the straight up removes will be open, nobody
2097
01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:45.520
owns it.
2098
01:53:45.560 --> 01:53:47.239
And Oman better watch themselves.
2099
01:53:47.319 --> 01:53:50.800
I'm like, what, dude, Oman was trying to help you
2100
01:53:51.119 --> 01:53:53.039
the beginning of this shit and then you told them
2101
01:53:53.119 --> 01:53:54.640
to get fucked and they got bombed.
2102
01:53:55.479 --> 01:53:57.000
We are not gonna have any allies left.
2103
01:53:57.159 --> 01:53:59.359
You know, you're forcing the golf Arabs to join some
2104
01:53:59.439 --> 01:54:01.600
Abraham or you're not gonna make a deal with Iran,
2105
01:54:01.640 --> 01:54:02.680
which doesn't make any sense.
2106
01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:04.319
They're not gonna have anything to do with that.
2107
01:54:04.439 --> 01:54:05.840
That doesn't have anything to do with them.
2108
01:54:06.199 --> 01:54:07.319
They're gonna be like, you know what, this.
2109
01:54:07.399 --> 01:54:09.239
Is too much trouble, these bases that you've got on
2110
01:54:09.359 --> 01:54:11.560
our soil, and I'm making us safer. They're making us
2111
01:54:11.920 --> 01:54:13.560
get shot at by the Iranians.
2112
01:54:13.640 --> 01:54:14.159
As a matter of.
2113
01:54:14.159 --> 01:54:16.319
Fact, Fuck this whole noise, get your shit, get.
2114
01:54:16.239 --> 01:54:17.640
It out of our country. We don't want any of
2115
01:54:17.720 --> 01:54:18.079
this stuff.
2116
01:54:18.680 --> 01:54:18.800
Now.
2117
01:54:18.840 --> 01:54:20.319
You gotta you wash your basing rights.
2118
01:54:20.479 --> 01:54:22.920
You already can't overfly half of Europe, you can't get
2119
01:54:22.960 --> 01:54:27.600
refueled by the British. What you strategically damage the United
2120
01:54:27.640 --> 01:54:29.920
States in a way that will never be able to
2121
01:54:29.960 --> 01:54:32.960
recover from. And the Chinese are like, oh, Okay, cool.
2122
01:54:33.159 --> 01:54:35.960
You know, kwait that base that you kick the Americans
2123
01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:37.520
off of, could we brought that for a little while.
2124
01:54:40.159 --> 01:54:44.800
I can't argue that everything you said is completely plausible
2125
01:54:44.920 --> 01:54:45.760
at this point.
2126
01:54:46.039 --> 01:54:49.399
I think the only argument is that.
2127
01:54:51.680 --> 01:54:55.800
There ends up being another administry, and I just it's
2128
01:54:55.880 --> 01:54:59.239
too it's a long runway. That's the problem, Like how
2129
01:54:59.319 --> 01:55:02.920
much more can be destroyed over the next two and
2130
01:55:02.960 --> 01:55:06.199
a half years. But yeah, I mean, I do think
2131
01:55:06.199 --> 01:55:07.920
it's gonna be a mid term. But I think what
2132
01:55:08.039 --> 01:55:10.000
you hope for is there's a midterm, and you hope
2133
01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:14.079
that there is a Congress that again.
2134
01:55:15.600 --> 01:55:17.920
Just tries to check its enough.
2135
01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:20.680
To put some brakes on some of this, like and
2136
01:55:20.840 --> 01:55:24.319
again no flout investigations and they won't turn over stuff,
2137
01:55:24.359 --> 01:55:28.079
but like, it can't be this that what it is currently,
2138
01:55:28.760 --> 01:55:31.239
And the only way you have that is like again, no,
2139
01:55:32.279 --> 01:55:33.079
you need to flip.
2140
01:55:33.159 --> 01:55:35.840
You need to flip that damn house. That's when we
2141
01:55:35.840 --> 01:55:36.399
do only check.
2142
01:55:37.199 --> 01:55:39.640
Look, we had an election, Biden won, he had both
2143
01:55:39.680 --> 01:55:43.319
houses of Congress. Everything was was like the world looked
2144
01:55:43.359 --> 01:55:48.680
at it and went, okay, America, we realized that you
2145
01:55:48.800 --> 01:55:52.199
made a mistake. We realized that you realized you made
2146
01:55:52.239 --> 01:55:56.600
a mistake. You have corrected for that. And Biden's big
2147
01:55:57.119 --> 01:56:00.239
thing was America is back. We're back to who we
2148
01:56:00.479 --> 01:56:04.279
actually are. You know, we're gonna behave ourselves. We're gonna
2149
01:56:04.840 --> 01:56:07.079
do the job on the world stage that people have
2150
01:56:07.199 --> 01:56:10.840
depended on us, to stabilize the global trade system, to
2151
01:56:10.920 --> 01:56:14.359
stabilize the global security, and do all of those things
2152
01:56:14.600 --> 01:56:18.960
that have been the situation on the ground in the
2153
01:56:19.039 --> 01:56:23.279
post war years. Okay, that's our role, that's our job.
2154
01:56:23.800 --> 01:56:27.600
And then we bam went right back in the like
2155
01:56:27.680 --> 01:56:29.800
the Trump and so now the rest of the world
2156
01:56:29.840 --> 01:56:33.439
looks at the Americans and goes, these guys are not consistent,
2157
01:56:33.800 --> 01:56:34.680
They're not steady.
2158
01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:36.119
This was never a problem.
2159
01:56:36.399 --> 01:56:39.840
Nobody looked at like a shift from Bush one to
2160
01:56:39.960 --> 01:56:43.079
Clinton and went, oh god, now the Americans aren't gonna
2161
01:56:43.119 --> 01:56:45.239
do their job to maintain security in the world, or
2162
01:56:45.359 --> 01:56:47.880
NATO's at risk or anything. They went, Okay, we got
2163
01:56:47.920 --> 01:56:50.800
a different guy, we got a call. But like NATO's
2164
01:56:50.800 --> 01:56:54.840
still real and they're still going to defend Taiwan or whatever.
2165
01:56:55.960 --> 01:56:58.079
That is not the case anymore. And I don't care.
2166
01:56:58.399 --> 01:57:02.039
It could be like three or four excessive consistent administrations
2167
01:57:02.319 --> 01:57:08.000
that maintain the standard American you know, hegemony over the
2168
01:57:08.079 --> 01:57:11.880
world security system in a row, and the rest of
2169
01:57:11.920 --> 01:57:13.479
the world is still gonna be like, yeah, you got
2170
01:57:13.520 --> 01:57:16.159
three of them in a row. But you idiots went
2171
01:57:16.239 --> 01:57:18.279
back and forth on Trump twice, and we can fucking
2172
01:57:18.359 --> 01:57:20.279
see you doing that shit again, and we don't trust you.
2173
01:57:20.640 --> 01:57:22.720
And I get this, like thirty percent of your voters
2174
01:57:22.720 --> 01:57:24.279
that are always gonna choose that ship.
2175
01:57:24.840 --> 01:57:27.039
I think that is dwindling, right, I do.
2176
01:57:27.199 --> 01:57:30.880
I do think that's dwindling based on on what these
2177
01:57:31.039 --> 01:57:33.159
actions that are happening from this administration.
2178
01:57:33.880 --> 01:57:36.720
I still I mean this that might.
2179
01:57:36.600 --> 01:57:39.920
Be there, they're still there. And this this happens every time, Right,
2180
01:57:40.000 --> 01:57:42.079
you get towards the middle or the end of an administration,
2181
01:57:42.239 --> 01:57:44.800
especially a lane duck one, and people start to sour
2182
01:57:44.880 --> 01:57:47.119
on it. They don't have any hope anymore, and like
2183
01:57:47.239 --> 01:57:51.039
everything flips and it was they're gonna be like, ah,
2184
01:57:51.119 --> 01:57:52.920
you know what actually was pretty good under Trump?
2185
01:57:53.159 --> 01:57:56.520
Trump? No, I know, they won't. They won't forget this one.
2186
01:57:56.840 --> 01:57:57.239
They won't.
2187
01:57:57.279 --> 01:58:00.319
They won't forget this one. And Afghanistan pull out, I
2188
01:58:00.399 --> 01:58:02.920
mean yeah, he said, but no one, no one is
2189
01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:06.640
gonna forget the five dollars gas, Like, no one's gonna
2190
01:58:06.680 --> 01:58:10.800
forget that because they haven't. They've never forgave a president
2191
01:58:10.840 --> 01:58:12.880
who's ever allowed it to get out of hand like this.
2192
01:58:13.199 --> 01:58:14.000
They never really.
2193
01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:18.039
Forgive nobody forgave Jimmy Carter, even though it wasn't his fault, right,
2194
01:58:18.239 --> 01:58:19.800
So no one forgives presidents for that.
2195
01:58:20.000 --> 01:58:22.199
I think what you what you'll end up seeing, though
2196
01:58:23.000 --> 01:58:25.600
maybe this is a maybe this works out in a
2197
01:58:25.640 --> 01:58:26.039
weird way.
2198
01:58:26.119 --> 01:58:30.560
Right, post postwar era, we've been the world's police, right,
2199
01:58:30.800 --> 01:58:32.920
and I think it does need to get to a stabilization.
2200
01:58:33.399 --> 01:58:35.880
But there is some type of populism that's happening in
2201
01:58:35.960 --> 01:58:37.800
this country, right, and I think there is.
2202
01:58:38.640 --> 01:58:41.359
I think there is a desire for there to be
2203
01:58:41.520 --> 01:58:45.800
more focused domestically in what Americans need, right.
2204
01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:48.079
I think there's a winning voting strategy around that.
2205
01:58:49.439 --> 01:58:52.199
And you gotta be careful with the populism, right because
2206
01:58:52.399 --> 01:58:54.439
Trump wrote in on the populism and then he doesn't
2207
01:58:54.439 --> 01:58:57.920
even do it right like this time. Right, he everything
2208
01:58:58.079 --> 01:59:00.800
was like he still hasn't brought the the egg prices
2209
01:59:00.880 --> 01:59:02.479
like right prices.
2210
01:59:03.279 --> 01:59:05.439
That's why he was Okay, But if you want to
2211
01:59:05.640 --> 01:59:09.439
be like populist and pro domestic things, you should be
2212
01:59:09.520 --> 01:59:11.319
able to make the case that being in the World
2213
01:59:11.359 --> 01:59:14.840
Health Organization is pro domestic stabilization.
2214
01:59:15.000 --> 01:59:17.720
And I think eventually we will have an administration that
2215
01:59:17.760 --> 01:59:19.960
brings us back to stabilization. But maybe there is a
2216
01:59:20.000 --> 01:59:24.039
focus back into the things that need to happen in
2217
01:59:24.199 --> 01:59:27.119
this country. And then I mean, and again, the framework
2218
01:59:27.119 --> 01:59:29.520
I think is still there, right. I think the infrastructure
2219
01:59:29.520 --> 01:59:32.399
bills that pass under Biden, like those things, there's a
2220
01:59:32.479 --> 01:59:35.119
way to unjam some of that, right, Like, I know
2221
01:59:35.199 --> 01:59:36.640
the money's out there, but there's a way to make
2222
01:59:36.680 --> 01:59:39.880
that more efficient. And like, the question I have is
2223
01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:42.680
always going to be right, and who do we pick?
2224
01:59:42.760 --> 01:59:45.079
Let's just start going down the line. If a Gavin
2225
01:59:45.199 --> 01:59:53.039
Knew some wins, right, Cory Booker like cool, I don't
2226
01:59:53.079 --> 01:59:56.279
think people will that they've soured on her. But Kamala Harris,
2227
01:59:56.399 --> 01:59:59.680
like any of these individuals who would take on that
2228
02:00:00.520 --> 02:00:05.439
there's rebuilding that needs to happen. Gretchen Whitmer, like I
2229
02:00:05.520 --> 02:00:07.319
think if you put any of these people in there,
2230
02:00:07.479 --> 02:00:11.560
like it's like I could start name off, I can
2231
02:00:11.680 --> 02:00:14.520
name off some Republicans that probably could do better governance
2232
02:00:14.600 --> 02:00:14.840
than this.
2233
02:00:15.640 --> 02:00:17.520
Yeah, but that I don't think.
2234
02:00:17.720 --> 02:00:22.000
I don't think that that party can be considered a
2235
02:00:22.119 --> 02:00:25.039
reasonable participant in not that party.
2236
02:00:25.399 --> 02:00:28.119
But I think there's the conservative voice that does not
2237
02:00:28.319 --> 02:00:31.079
that is, yes, that is going to break off from that,
2238
02:00:31.279 --> 02:00:32.680
Like there's gonna be fractures.
2239
02:00:32.720 --> 02:00:35.000
There will be a Jeff Flake Party at some point.
2240
02:00:35.119 --> 02:00:37.119
Yes, yeah, right, yeah, it has to there has to
2241
02:00:37.199 --> 02:00:38.000
be that at this point.
2242
02:00:38.039 --> 02:00:40.880
And I mean, I don't know, maybe maybe in a
2243
02:00:41.000 --> 02:00:43.359
weird only thing I can hope from all of this
2244
02:00:43.560 --> 02:00:46.479
is in a weird way that maybe this pushes us
2245
02:00:46.520 --> 02:00:49.840
to the brink again, like we always got to get
2246
02:00:49.880 --> 02:00:52.279
pushed to the brink in this country. That then we
2247
02:00:52.439 --> 02:00:57.760
start to like refine what this democracy looks as small
2248
02:00:57.840 --> 02:01:00.920
the democracy ends up looking like. And those are questions
2249
02:01:01.000 --> 02:01:04.880
around like and you're hearing it, like people feel different
2250
02:01:04.960 --> 02:01:08.279
about how we tax people, Like there there are folks
2251
02:01:08.319 --> 02:01:10.840
are talking things that you would never hear a politicians
2252
02:01:10.880 --> 02:01:12.359
say the things that I say. The reason why I
2253
02:01:12.439 --> 02:01:15.319
can't run where I'm like, right, clearly we have to
2254
02:01:15.399 --> 02:01:16.640
raise the taxes, like.
2255
02:01:16.920 --> 02:01:19.560
Yeah, and starting to hear a consistent voice of that
2256
02:01:19.640 --> 02:01:21.720
on the progressive side, even a little bit on the
2257
02:01:22.000 --> 02:01:25.119
on the conservative side of like, hey, things aren't fair
2258
02:01:25.199 --> 02:01:26.119
for the working class.
2259
02:01:26.640 --> 02:01:30.840
And I think that's a winning message. And ideally what
2260
02:01:31.000 --> 02:01:33.640
you need you need a weird ass coalition of folks
2261
02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:37.520
again not this Trump coalition, but like that same folks
2262
02:01:37.600 --> 02:01:38.640
that got him elected.
2263
02:01:39.119 --> 02:01:40.079
They have to move.
2264
02:01:40.840 --> 02:01:43.039
Someone has to come up with a persuasive message for
2265
02:01:43.199 --> 02:01:46.880
them to believe in to then like, hey, let's bring
2266
02:01:46.960 --> 02:01:49.199
this back to like actual good governance.
2267
02:01:49.640 --> 02:01:51.000
We need to make changes.
2268
02:01:51.119 --> 02:01:52.880
Right, some of this stuff we all can agree on,
2269
02:01:53.079 --> 02:01:55.279
like a slush fund which will get to you later. Like,
2270
02:01:55.319 --> 02:01:58.439
no one agrees with that, right, Like there are things
2271
02:01:58.479 --> 02:02:01.279
that people agree on this in this country on there
2272
02:02:01.319 --> 02:02:03.920
are some basic things that I think we agree the thing.
2273
02:02:04.159 --> 02:02:06.560
So, there was an article in the paper this week
2274
02:02:06.920 --> 02:02:09.800
that talked about the poll numbers and how Trump is
2275
02:02:09.880 --> 02:02:13.399
losing ground with the white working class, and one of
2276
02:02:13.479 --> 02:02:17.600
the quotes of the people that they interviewed in that
2277
02:02:17.800 --> 02:02:21.359
story stuck with me about something that she said, which
2278
02:02:21.520 --> 02:02:23.920
was that when she was younger, and she's not a
2279
02:02:24.079 --> 02:02:26.880
real politics person, not into that kind of stuff at all,
2280
02:02:27.239 --> 02:02:30.720
but she grew up poor and the only thing she
2281
02:02:30.840 --> 02:02:35.840
knew is that Republicans were for rich people, and they weren't,
2282
02:02:36.680 --> 02:02:39.399
and so that was all they needed to know. And
2283
02:02:41.079 --> 02:02:45.720
you could see if the culture stuff wasn't a part
2284
02:02:45.800 --> 02:02:49.840
of the conversation, we can somehow get that to be
2285
02:02:50.079 --> 02:02:52.600
like everybody just fucking pause on that for a little while.
2286
02:02:54.159 --> 02:02:58.640
Like then you could really see because everybody's talking about, well,
2287
02:02:58.640 --> 02:03:00.199
it's not really a left and right, it's a top
2288
02:03:00.279 --> 02:03:03.880
and bottom fight. And you could see a reframing of
2289
02:03:03.960 --> 02:03:08.720
the parties as one is for the bottom three quarters,
2290
02:03:09.399 --> 02:03:13.119
as the Democrats, and one is for the top one percent,
2291
02:03:13.600 --> 02:03:17.680
which is the Republicans who want no rules, no taxes,
2292
02:03:17.920 --> 02:03:19.119
no any of that stuff.
2293
02:03:20.279 --> 02:03:23.319
Maybe maybe you see that look out, I mean.
2294
02:03:23.279 --> 02:03:27.319
And granted and hopefully we're never under something as long
2295
02:03:27.439 --> 02:03:31.239
as what like Victor Orbon's rule, Right, but I think
2296
02:03:31.279 --> 02:03:33.199
if we look at that, right, and I'm blanking on
2297
02:03:33.239 --> 02:03:35.399
who beat him, I'm blanking on the guy's name would
2298
02:03:35.399 --> 02:03:41.800
beat him. But Magyard, yeah, Magyard ran he didn't have
2299
02:03:41.840 --> 02:03:46.680
any policy, yo, he said, yeah, but.
2300
02:03:47.239 --> 02:03:50.640
Or that's what Orbon ran on in the beginning. Yes, yeah,
2301
02:03:51.199 --> 02:03:54.159
but those people and he was able to figure out
2302
02:03:54.199 --> 02:03:57.920
specifically in the rural areas, right he and no one
2303
02:03:58.039 --> 02:04:01.119
thought that could happen, no what he thought that could happen.
2304
02:04:01.800 --> 02:04:05.680
But eventually people see these things, right, and they realized,
2305
02:04:05.720 --> 02:04:09.000
oh my light. And again to your point, right, we've
2306
02:04:09.119 --> 02:04:14.279
seen many election cycles that folks have not been able
2307
02:04:14.319 --> 02:04:16.520
to see the light for lack of a better term, right,
2308
02:04:17.319 --> 02:04:21.640
whether it's twenty sixteen, right, whether it's twenty twenty four, right.
2309
02:04:23.479 --> 02:04:25.800
But I think now more than ever.
2310
02:04:25.840 --> 02:04:29.800
Like the ballrooms, foreign wars.
2311
02:04:30.439 --> 02:04:34.720
Given us, like these slush funds, the primaries, he's running
2312
02:04:34.760 --> 02:04:40.159
against candidates that will most likely lose to Democrats, right, Yeah,
2313
02:04:40.439 --> 02:04:40.720
and the.
2314
02:04:40.720 --> 02:04:44.319
Epstein stuff and all things, you know, because when.
2315
02:04:44.239 --> 02:04:46.239
We have an Epstein class, is what you're starting to
2316
02:04:46.279 --> 02:04:49.119
hear a lot about, is yeah, Epstein class and people
2317
02:04:49.159 --> 02:04:53.359
are against that is a larger thing than fucking discuss
2318
02:04:53.520 --> 02:04:57.119
those who are pedophiles, Right, that is something larger. Right,
2319
02:04:57.199 --> 02:04:59.119
You might you might have never engaged in any of
2320
02:04:59.199 --> 02:05:02.199
those acts, but could still fall into that Epstein class.
2321
02:05:02.680 --> 02:05:04.560
And I think people are I think.
2322
02:05:04.439 --> 02:05:06.359
The populace in this country is picking up on that,
2323
02:05:06.760 --> 02:05:09.119
and like, and the only scary thing is like, because
2324
02:05:09.159 --> 02:05:11.399
we have readet these like, there will be someone who
2325
02:05:11.520 --> 02:05:13.800
tries to unite the classes and we know what happens
2326
02:05:13.800 --> 02:05:18.199
on that, Like, yeah, that's just classes locals assassination, Like
2327
02:05:18.319 --> 02:05:20.439
it's this kind it can be that, but.
2328
02:05:20.479 --> 02:05:25.560
It can also turn into some sort of weird anti semitism. Right,
2329
02:05:25.640 --> 02:05:28.560
you can see how a discussion of an Epstein class
2330
02:05:28.680 --> 02:05:31.039
turns into an anti Semitic uh.
2331
02:05:31.479 --> 02:05:31.840
Problem.
2332
02:05:32.640 --> 02:05:32.760
Uh.
2333
02:05:32.960 --> 02:05:37.439
There's already some co opting of of the right wing
2334
02:05:38.000 --> 02:05:44.439
anti Muslim, anti immigrant stuff being glommed on to women,
2335
02:05:44.680 --> 02:05:47.600
as if women are the problem and stuff, So you
2336
02:05:47.680 --> 02:05:49.920
can see some of that happening. I don't know.
2337
02:05:50.119 --> 02:05:54.199
I mean, it's all it's all risky business when you
2338
02:05:54.279 --> 02:05:54.880
get into it.
2339
02:05:55.239 --> 02:05:55.640
But I.
2340
02:05:57.760 --> 02:06:01.239
The issue here as it pertains to Iran, The issue
2341
02:06:01.279 --> 02:06:06.039
as it pertains to where we go from here in
2342
02:06:06.279 --> 02:06:08.840
that part of the world and in terms of our
2343
02:06:09.000 --> 02:06:15.520
security is Oh. From the electoral perspective, is there a
2344
02:06:15.680 --> 02:06:19.239
thing that America could do as a as a voting block,
2345
02:06:19.439 --> 02:06:22.640
as a democracy that could get the rest of the
2346
02:06:22.720 --> 02:06:25.119
world to go back to looking at us and trusting
2347
02:06:25.199 --> 02:06:28.039
us the way they have done since Eisenhower? And I
2348
02:06:28.119 --> 02:06:31.079
don't think that there is. And I don't I don't
2349
02:06:31.279 --> 02:06:35.039
really want to know what a world looks like where
2350
02:06:35.279 --> 02:06:38.000
China is as equal a part of the guaranteur of
2351
02:06:38.079 --> 02:06:41.000
security as the United States. I don't think that's a
2352
02:06:41.079 --> 02:06:43.640
good safe place to be in and I don't know
2353
02:06:43.840 --> 02:06:47.000
how we fix that because we have burned the trust
2354
02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:50.239
of the rest of the world in a very profound way.
2355
02:06:50.600 --> 02:06:54.920
And it is all centered around Trump's behavior, and in
2356
02:06:55.079 --> 02:06:57.239
this case it's about Iran. But you could you could
2357
02:06:57.279 --> 02:07:00.760
point out like our lack of response. It's in Theobola
2358
02:07:00.840 --> 02:07:03.119
crisis right now. You know that people look to the
2359
02:07:03.239 --> 02:07:04.239
United States for help on that.
2360
02:07:04.359 --> 02:07:04.960
It's not there.
2361
02:07:05.279 --> 02:07:07.840
Okay, you look to the United States for helping all
2362
02:07:07.920 --> 02:07:09.800
these other disasters, it's not there. You look at the
2363
02:07:09.880 --> 02:07:11.439
death of Pep far and and.
2364
02:07:12.159 --> 02:07:14.359
The your risk is valid.
2365
02:07:15.439 --> 02:07:18.359
I just I don't know how we get that back.
2366
02:07:19.520 --> 02:07:23.920
Simple. You start what you start with the midterms, you get.
2367
02:07:23.880 --> 02:07:25.159
Okay, you get the.
2368
02:07:27.880 --> 02:07:30.600
The key the key thing here is so mad when you.
2369
02:07:30.680 --> 02:07:33.600
Said that, But thank you, Bryan.
2370
02:07:33.920 --> 02:07:38.760
You rebuilding, You get Eisenhower back, and you start rebuilding.
2371
02:07:38.800 --> 02:07:42.199
America is here to like this markets work.
2372
02:07:42.039 --> 02:07:45.560
And you're not doing, you know, rebuilding like that.
2373
02:07:45.920 --> 02:07:46.680
What I'm saying is.
2374
02:07:48.800 --> 02:07:52.479
To to regain the trust is pretty much is kind
2375
02:07:52.520 --> 02:07:56.119
of do what South Korea did. Get rid of this dude.
2376
02:07:57.199 --> 02:07:59.880
That is it the America the rest of the world
2377
02:08:00.039 --> 02:08:03.840
be happy enough to say get this guy out, put
2378
02:08:03.920 --> 02:08:07.399
him in jail and lock that key, and and and
2379
02:08:07.720 --> 02:08:09.680
just lock the gate and never bring him back out.
2380
02:08:09.720 --> 02:08:10.359
I think they won't.
2381
02:08:10.399 --> 02:08:12.359
They won't look at that and say, all right, we'll
2382
02:08:12.439 --> 02:08:14.319
let you, We trust you now for a little while,
2383
02:08:14.399 --> 02:08:16.720
but we again from people will reelect them.
2384
02:08:17.079 --> 02:08:19.359
But from that point on, this again it is a
2385
02:08:19.600 --> 02:08:23.079
it will be a rebuilding process again. Unfortunately. I mean
2386
02:08:23.159 --> 02:08:26.319
Biden pretty much had to do his entire presidency. Is
2387
02:08:26.680 --> 02:08:31.840
that only term to pretty much fix what Trump did? Yeah,
2388
02:08:31.920 --> 02:08:34.680
and that's what you gotta do again, is it's been.
2389
02:08:34.640 --> 02:08:37.199
Doing that for one hundred years and you're not well, Yeah,
2390
02:08:37.359 --> 02:08:40.000
and I think of things right, even like as I
2391
02:08:40.119 --> 02:08:42.920
think of like the Voting Rights Act, right, and everybody's.
2392
02:08:42.479 --> 02:08:44.399
Thinking about what can we do? What can we do? No?
2393
02:08:44.520 --> 02:08:46.359
No, no, The only thing we can do is start
2394
02:08:46.439 --> 02:08:49.560
the work right now for a twenty year plan to
2395
02:08:49.760 --> 02:08:53.800
fix this shit like that is like, it's not like, Unfortunately,
2396
02:08:54.079 --> 02:08:55.159
it's not going to be.
2397
02:08:55.520 --> 02:08:59.760
You think that the American people have the attention span
2398
02:09:00.359 --> 02:09:05.720
and the patience dedication to achieve those kinds of things.
2399
02:09:05.920 --> 02:09:10.720
We joke, we jokingly keep saying that if they have
2400
02:09:10.880 --> 02:09:14.680
the attention span, yes, because there is so intentative and
2401
02:09:14.800 --> 02:09:17.399
pissed off. Right now, they are a tentative of what's
2402
02:09:17.439 --> 02:09:17.760
going on.
2403
02:09:18.319 --> 02:09:22.560
Things get marginally better. People stop being pissed off. We
2404
02:09:22.680 --> 02:09:24.560
see it, We saw it already happen. They were so
2405
02:09:24.720 --> 02:09:26.840
pissed off at the end of Trump one, so pissed
2406
02:09:26.880 --> 02:09:28.159
off by again.
2407
02:09:28.199 --> 02:09:31.159
They were little pissed off with Biden because he couldn't
2408
02:09:31.199 --> 02:09:33.239
move fast enough to change some of those things.
2409
02:09:33.600 --> 02:09:36.359
That's what I'm saying. It doesn't go fast enough. They
2410
02:09:36.439 --> 02:09:38.640
get disaffected and they go, fuck it, this didn't work either,
2411
02:09:38.680 --> 02:09:41.039
Fuck this noise, and they all just do all kinds
2412
02:09:41.079 --> 02:09:46.000
of Yeah. The consensus that existed as an American population,
2413
02:09:46.159 --> 02:09:50.279
the consensus that existed post war was in part artificial
2414
02:09:50.520 --> 02:09:53.920
because certain people were participating and weren't allowed to participate.
2415
02:09:54.359 --> 02:09:58.039
But the consensus that existed then was a was a
2416
02:09:58.640 --> 02:10:02.680
direct echo of a massive nationwide trauma. There had been
2417
02:10:02.760 --> 02:10:05.239
a nationwide trauma. We had been bonded to Pearl Harbor.
2418
02:10:05.520 --> 02:10:10.199
We had then lost untold thousands and thousands of soldiers
2419
02:10:10.439 --> 02:10:13.800
and sailors fighting in a world war that was an
2420
02:10:14.119 --> 02:10:16.159
obvious answer of good versus evil.
2421
02:10:16.199 --> 02:10:17.880
There was no equivocation about that.
2422
02:10:18.039 --> 02:10:22.079
And we had emerged victorious, and we didn't know the
2423
02:10:22.239 --> 02:10:26.239
damage that had been done because there wasn't television, there
2424
02:10:26.319 --> 02:10:29.680
wasn't real reporting, The horrors of war weren't accounted for.
2425
02:10:29.840 --> 02:10:33.640
There was this glorious shine on this America responded to
2426
02:10:33.760 --> 02:10:37.760
the attack on Pearl Harbor by beating everybody and re
2427
02:10:38.520 --> 02:10:41.000
setting up a new world order. And we walked around
2428
02:10:41.039 --> 02:10:44.560
with that halo over us for fifty years, and then
2429
02:10:44.600 --> 02:10:46.720
it starts to crack a little bit. And now we're
2430
02:10:46.760 --> 02:10:50.479
in this place where the people's attention span is it's
2431
02:10:50.560 --> 02:10:53.880
self centered. There's no collective American spirit or whatever you
2432
02:10:53.960 --> 02:10:56.840
want to call it anymore. Everybody's out collective, and what a.
2433
02:10:56.880 --> 02:10:59.680
Collective enemy is us now? And I always say this
2434
02:11:00.000 --> 02:11:03.199
problem and the end of the Cold Wars really need
2435
02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:06.760
to be goddamn Soviet's back. Then at that point, then
2436
02:11:06.880 --> 02:11:09.039
then China will attack Taypewan and then we'll go into
2437
02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:09.960
that type of warld.
2438
02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:12.560
World War three will then we'll get another World war
2439
02:11:12.680 --> 02:11:13.920
to put America back on top.
2440
02:11:14.119 --> 02:11:15.960
I kind of seemed I mean, I hate to be
2441
02:11:16.159 --> 02:11:18.560
like this, which sounds crazy like it seems to be
2442
02:11:18.800 --> 02:11:22.720
after these crazy wars is when and hopefully it doesn't
2443
02:11:22.760 --> 02:11:23.079
get to that.
2444
02:11:23.159 --> 02:11:24.760
I'm not. I'm not advocating for that.
2445
02:11:26.079 --> 02:11:28.000
We're gonna come riding into the rescue and then a
2446
02:11:28.399 --> 02:11:30.920
thing if we win that war. I don't even think
2447
02:11:30.920 --> 02:11:31.279
we win.
2448
02:11:31.239 --> 02:11:32.119
That war at this point.
2449
02:11:32.239 --> 02:11:32.600
I don't know.
2450
02:11:32.680 --> 02:11:35.720
I don't think I've am not right now, but we
2451
02:11:35.760 --> 02:11:39.560
can rebuild that. I think that the the other problem
2452
02:11:39.720 --> 02:11:42.800
right of what's gonna assist and be building this is
2453
02:11:42.880 --> 02:11:46.920
you need to have another functional party system here, like
2454
02:11:47.520 --> 02:11:50.079
you need and it might not be. I do think
2455
02:11:50.159 --> 02:11:53.279
that what we think of the Republican Party is gone right,
2456
02:11:53.399 --> 02:11:57.039
that's done, but something legitimate center right party has to
2457
02:11:57.159 --> 02:12:00.520
be and maybe and maybe maybe you need four right,
2458
02:12:01.039 --> 02:12:04.760
maybe you need again and I'm not seeing let there
2459
02:12:04.840 --> 02:12:06.680
be if there's an ex because the extreme.
2460
02:12:06.399 --> 02:12:08.840
Right isn't going anywhere, that will always be there.
2461
02:12:08.720 --> 02:12:12.079
Because ceremony model. It's like you have a far right
2462
02:12:12.119 --> 02:12:13.800
and a far left, and then you have these two
2463
02:12:13.880 --> 02:12:16.279
sort of center left center rights that often have to
2464
02:12:16.399 --> 02:12:19.600
unite in coalition with each other to keep the fringes
2465
02:12:19.640 --> 02:12:20.000
at bay.
2466
02:12:20.720 --> 02:12:25.479
And you need people who will have some courage, not
2467
02:12:25.800 --> 02:12:28.880
and they need to have courage from the beginning, not
2468
02:12:29.079 --> 02:12:30.239
when they become lame.
2469
02:12:30.399 --> 02:12:30.640
Duck.
2470
02:12:31.119 --> 02:12:33.920
I saw Bobby pick up those snakes. He's got courage, man.
2471
02:12:34.000 --> 02:12:36.560
That's that's what you gotta do. Man, you need courage
2472
02:12:36.720 --> 02:12:38.840
coming to snakes man. Snatch it ship up.
2473
02:12:39.119 --> 02:12:41.720
Damn racist snake, I mean racist snake, racist snake.
2474
02:12:43.279 --> 02:12:45.520
All right, let's talk about the slush fund for a second.
2475
02:12:45.600 --> 02:12:47.560
This is the test talk. I know this has you
2476
02:12:47.720 --> 02:12:51.560
all fucking pissed off. Let me just I'm gonna lay
2477
02:12:51.600 --> 02:12:54.199
the groundwork to explain it, and then you're gonna go
2478
02:12:54.399 --> 02:12:58.199
on to how people might be seeing this. So basically,
2479
02:12:58.279 --> 02:13:02.920
here's what happened. Trump and his family, as a private citizen,
2480
02:13:03.399 --> 02:13:07.800
sued the federal government and the IRS for a leak
2481
02:13:07.880 --> 02:13:10.520
of his tax returns from back in the first Trump
2482
02:13:10.600 --> 02:13:12.720
administration where he.
2483
02:13:12.840 --> 02:13:13.399
Was in charge.
2484
02:13:13.479 --> 02:13:18.119
Then too, yeah, okay, And then it gets into court
2485
02:13:18.199 --> 02:13:21.800
and the judge asks an important question, Hey, you're on
2486
02:13:22.000 --> 02:13:26.000
both sides of the verses in this case. Is there
2487
02:13:26.319 --> 02:13:30.800
enough of an adversarial difference between these two groups, one
2488
02:13:30.880 --> 02:13:35.119
suing the other? And the Trump people go, you know what,
2489
02:13:35.760 --> 02:13:39.479
you're right, never mind, we withdraw settle. And so then
2490
02:13:39.520 --> 02:13:44.920
the IRS, which Trump runs, settles with Trump himself as
2491
02:13:45.000 --> 02:13:48.640
a citizen and uses this thing that there there's this
2492
02:13:48.840 --> 02:13:52.800
pile of money that is set aside, appropriated to be
2493
02:13:53.000 --> 02:13:56.039
used by the federal government to basically pay for when
2494
02:13:56.159 --> 02:14:01.520
they have made an error or or harmed somebody and
2495
02:14:01.640 --> 02:14:04.119
lose a lawsuit. Right, sometimes the government loses a lawsuit,
2496
02:14:04.159 --> 02:14:06.800
they got to pay. Well, if you had to wait
2497
02:14:06.840 --> 02:14:09.199
for Congress to appropriate the money every time you did that,
2498
02:14:09.720 --> 02:14:13.399
it could get stuck. Yeah, crazy, it'd be crazy. And
2499
02:14:13.600 --> 02:14:17.760
so to get around that, Congress appropriated like this ability
2500
02:14:17.960 --> 02:14:23.199
of the judicial branch or the federal government when it
2501
02:14:23.319 --> 02:14:25.800
loses a lawsuit or it enters into a settlement to
2502
02:14:25.960 --> 02:14:28.239
just basically hand out this money without Congress have to
2503
02:14:28.359 --> 02:14:31.039
appropriate it individually. There's a pot from which they can
2504
02:14:31.119 --> 02:14:37.640
draw from. So Trump's Irs settles with Trump personally and says,
2505
02:14:37.760 --> 02:14:41.239
we will make this right by paying this money out
2506
02:14:41.279 --> 02:14:45.920
of the appropriated pot for you to use as you
2507
02:14:46.119 --> 02:14:50.840
see fit, but not for him personally, for a committee
2508
02:14:50.880 --> 02:14:54.920
that he sets up to do whatever it feels is
2509
02:14:55.079 --> 02:14:58.439
necessary to fight what they called quote weaponization of the
2510
02:14:58.520 --> 02:15:02.239
judicial system. And those people are accountable to Trump and
2511
02:15:02.279 --> 02:15:06.840
Trump only. And there doesn't seem there's no court oversight
2512
02:15:07.119 --> 02:15:10.239
because they withdrew the case. There's there's the court doesn't
2513
02:15:10.279 --> 02:15:13.399
have to over oversee the settlement. Congress doesn't have a
2514
02:15:13.520 --> 02:15:16.159
role in this because the money has already been allocated,
2515
02:15:16.319 --> 02:15:18.600
and so that they're not they have to appropriate any
2516
02:15:18.680 --> 02:15:24.079
new money. And it just that's what happened. Okay, So
2517
02:15:24.279 --> 02:15:28.560
what is and it's and it's stupidly one point seven
2518
02:15:28.800 --> 02:15:32.800
seven six billion dollars because he wants to get that.
2519
02:15:32.960 --> 02:15:33.640
Number in there.
2520
02:15:34.520 --> 02:15:37.079
Okay, so it's one point eight billion dollars, two billion dollars?
2521
02:15:37.479 --> 02:15:38.039
What is?
2522
02:15:38.439 --> 02:15:40.000
How is this playing in Peoria?
2523
02:15:42.199 --> 02:15:43.960
The other piece of this that I don't know if
2524
02:15:44.000 --> 02:15:45.920
it was mentioned in this and maybe I just missed it,
2525
02:15:46.000 --> 02:15:50.800
there was that going forward, right, anything else that they
2526
02:15:50.920 --> 02:15:53.640
might find, or any audits that are done in a
2527
02:15:53.720 --> 02:15:56.319
sense he basically can't be held accountable for or something
2528
02:15:56.399 --> 02:15:56.560
like that.
2529
02:15:57.640 --> 02:16:00.920
There was end them after they released thee Then Todd
2530
02:16:01.000 --> 02:16:03.119
Blanche came out and said, oh, by the way, here's
2531
02:16:03.119 --> 02:16:05.640
some additional parts of this which says that you can
2532
02:16:05.720 --> 02:16:09.279
never investigate this and all the future administrations can't investigate
2533
02:16:09.359 --> 02:16:12.119
this ever again, ever, ever, ever, ever, which of course
2534
02:16:12.199 --> 02:16:15.760
wouldn't hold in a new administration because there isn't any
2535
02:16:15.800 --> 02:16:19.479
force of law behind this. But it just sort of
2536
02:16:19.520 --> 02:16:21.439
added some icing onto the stupid cake.
2537
02:16:22.479 --> 02:16:24.279
Yeah, this.
2538
02:16:26.319 --> 02:16:29.920
This is angered Republicans, right, let's start there, like Ted
2539
02:16:30.000 --> 02:16:30.840
Cruz's pissed.
2540
02:16:31.159 --> 02:16:32.719
Ted Cruz's piss right.
2541
02:16:34.760 --> 02:16:41.680
And I think especially for individuals who were there that day, right,
2542
02:16:41.920 --> 02:16:49.479
because giving money to again folks who were doufully convicted
2543
02:16:49.600 --> 02:16:54.319
of crimes of January sixth, right to do that, like
2544
02:16:54.760 --> 02:16:57.319
it kind of spits in the face of right, I
2545
02:16:57.399 --> 02:17:00.280
mean everything, like all the rhetoric, right, it's s's in
2546
02:17:00.280 --> 02:17:02.040
the face of the rhetoric. And I don't know if
2547
02:17:02.040 --> 02:17:06.760
everybody believes in the rhetoric, but they're I think for
2548
02:17:06.959 --> 02:17:10.600
folks who are struggling to pay their bills, right, and
2549
02:17:11.040 --> 02:17:13.360
if we also look at I'm not every one of them,
2550
02:17:13.399 --> 02:17:15.399
but like a decent amount of people who are able
2551
02:17:15.440 --> 02:17:18.040
to do go into January sixth, there's like a decent
2552
02:17:18.079 --> 02:17:19.719
era affluent as well, like it was.
2553
02:17:19.959 --> 02:17:20.760
I think the numbers one.
2554
02:17:21.079 --> 02:17:23.000
Some of them can't pay their bills now because they
2555
02:17:23.040 --> 02:17:24.959
all have fires they got fired from their job.
2556
02:17:25.040 --> 02:17:29.639
But yeah, yeah, so, but I mean that's not my problem,
2557
02:17:29.719 --> 02:17:32.600
and that's definitely not like our problem, right, because this
2558
02:17:32.760 --> 02:17:36.719
is we're paying this right as federal tax payers.
2559
02:17:36.840 --> 02:17:42.479
Right, These are the things why you're talking about the
2560
02:17:42.600 --> 02:17:43.559
January sixth people.
2561
02:17:44.680 --> 02:17:49.000
Oh, well, because it's specifically like this, like this fund,
2562
02:17:49.040 --> 02:17:51.760
they are able to apply for this, right well, right.
2563
02:17:51.680 --> 02:17:53.799
Well, we don't know because that hasn't actually been set up,
2564
02:17:53.840 --> 02:17:58.559
but Trump has talked about using it to pay reparations.
2565
02:17:58.639 --> 02:18:02.120
That's the word they're using to the people who he
2566
02:18:02.239 --> 02:18:06.440
says were wrongfully convicted for peacefully protesting on January sixth.
2567
02:18:07.360 --> 02:18:09.360
And that is the question that keeps getting put to
2568
02:18:09.440 --> 02:18:12.159
the to the senators and the congressman. Do you think
2569
02:18:12.239 --> 02:18:15.360
it's right for people who assaulted cops at the Capitol
2570
02:18:15.440 --> 02:18:19.319
on January sixth to receive money and compensation for that?
2571
02:18:20.440 --> 02:18:23.479
And they are having a hard time. They're twisting themselves
2572
02:18:23.559 --> 02:18:26.559
in knots because they don't want to cross Trump, but
2573
02:18:28.000 --> 02:18:29.200
they're not keen on this.
2574
02:18:30.120 --> 02:18:32.440
Mike flo well, yeah, I mean Mike flod Wright and
2575
02:18:32.639 --> 02:18:34.399
an article to be decided for this here, like he
2576
02:18:34.600 --> 02:18:36.639
has the quote that the fund should just not be
2577
02:18:37.360 --> 02:18:39.760
used for rioters, right, Like it starts for me, right
2578
02:18:40.959 --> 02:18:43.799
and it's plain and simple, right And the quote from here,
2579
02:18:44.120 --> 02:18:45.159
I've never approved.
2580
02:18:45.479 --> 02:18:46.319
I've never approved that.
2581
02:18:46.440 --> 02:18:48.239
I did not think that one penny of any fund
2582
02:18:48.239 --> 02:18:50.719
should go I should ever go to any January sixth
2583
02:18:50.760 --> 02:18:53.959
insurrectionists that was in the Capitol and quote Flood said
2584
02:18:53.959 --> 02:18:58.120
Tuesday to applause from the audience, right, so like audiences
2585
02:18:58.159 --> 02:19:01.319
like that, that makes sense? Right again to quote him,
2586
02:19:01.879 --> 02:19:03.600
I want to be very clear, I do not think
2587
02:19:03.639 --> 02:19:05.559
we should be creating a fund for people that commit
2588
02:19:05.639 --> 02:19:07.520
physical violence against law enforcement?
2589
02:19:07.639 --> 02:19:11.680
Right, Hey, like why do we? Why is that even
2590
02:19:11.760 --> 02:19:13.920
what's being said in the town hall. I'm pretty sure
2591
02:19:13.920 --> 02:19:14.840
there have.
2592
02:19:14.920 --> 02:19:15.479
To defend that.
2593
02:19:15.639 --> 02:19:17.520
It's because that's what Trump is saying he's going to
2594
02:19:17.559 --> 02:19:19.120
do with the money. That's exactly why.
2595
02:19:20.000 --> 02:19:22.360
And I mean I would believe that, and what would
2596
02:19:22.399 --> 02:19:24.479
stop him? He has full control, even with that little
2597
02:19:24.479 --> 02:19:27.479
commission or whatever setting up for that. Yeah, who could
2598
02:19:27.520 --> 02:19:29.559
stop him from directing that money to wherever the hell
2599
02:19:29.600 --> 02:19:29.879
he wants.
2600
02:19:29.959 --> 02:19:32.479
This is exactly what we've talked about, is that he's
2601
02:19:32.639 --> 02:19:35.719
now he's pardoned these guys. They've already been willfully committed
2602
02:19:35.799 --> 02:19:37.639
violence on his behalf, and they're loyal to him and
2603
02:19:37.719 --> 02:19:41.239
him alone. Now he's got a salary for them, he
2604
02:19:41.319 --> 02:19:46.000
can pay them. He's got a pardoned, paid violent militia
2605
02:19:46.280 --> 02:19:49.879
at his disposal to be used whenever and wherever he
2606
02:19:50.040 --> 02:19:54.239
wants to in this country, and that's how we That's
2607
02:19:54.280 --> 02:19:56.840
how Mussolini got in charge, That's how Hitler got in charge,
2608
02:19:57.159 --> 02:19:59.479
that's how Pinochet got in charge. These things are all
2609
02:19:59.760 --> 02:20:04.760
like the same fucking move man, same fucking move Yes,
2610
02:20:04.799 --> 02:20:05.360
it's fine.
2611
02:20:05.479 --> 02:20:10.040
I just think I I think those I think the
2612
02:20:10.239 --> 02:20:14.079
public in a lot of those specific situations were more
2613
02:20:14.200 --> 02:20:18.600
behind those, more behind those leaders, and more behind their
2614
02:20:18.719 --> 02:20:22.959
ideology of whatever at that point. Right, are there a
2615
02:20:23.040 --> 02:20:26.200
group of people in this country who feel like there
2616
02:20:26.239 --> 02:20:29.680
are too many immigrants, right, and that being ideology? Yes,
2617
02:20:30.360 --> 02:20:32.399
I don't think there's a huge group of them that
2618
02:20:32.440 --> 02:20:34.799
says we should ground them up inside of cages.
2619
02:20:34.920 --> 02:20:35.040
Right.
2620
02:20:35.120 --> 02:20:35.600
I don't think that.
2621
02:20:35.959 --> 02:20:38.239
I don't think there is a huge population of folks
2622
02:20:38.239 --> 02:20:38.959
who believe that.
2623
02:20:39.319 --> 02:20:43.440
But what Trump means is acts of violence for him
2624
02:20:43.479 --> 02:20:46.760
to then declare some sort of emergency in martial law,
2625
02:20:47.000 --> 02:20:49.239
and now he can pay your cousin Enrique to go
2626
02:20:49.399 --> 02:20:52.000
commit those acts of violence and protect him from any
2627
02:20:52.639 --> 02:20:54.200
state penalties or whatever.
2628
02:20:54.639 --> 02:20:57.319
No one's taking the bait on that, right, I don't
2629
02:20:57.319 --> 02:20:58.879
think no one's saying debate on that.
2630
02:20:59.399 --> 02:21:02.840
Yeah, the fund doesn't exist yet, it hasn't been fully
2631
02:21:02.920 --> 02:21:04.879
established and stuff, and there's a bit of fight in court,
2632
02:21:04.959 --> 02:21:07.639
and maybe there's two of the cops that got beat
2633
02:21:07.760 --> 02:21:09.440
up on January sixth or suing.
2634
02:21:10.000 --> 02:21:11.360
Uh so we'll see where that goes.
2635
02:21:11.920 --> 02:21:15.000
But isn't one whether they standing?
2636
02:21:18.760 --> 02:21:21.639
I said, is one of the people in the Capitol
2637
02:21:21.680 --> 02:21:23.360
Police running for Congress?
2638
02:21:23.840 --> 02:21:26.159
Harry Dunn ran for Congress and he lost in the
2639
02:21:26.200 --> 02:21:30.360
primary here he lost, Okay, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I
2640
02:21:30.440 --> 02:21:34.639
mean Congress has a role here, right, They could they
2641
02:21:34.719 --> 02:21:37.159
could sue and say that hey, Article one says we're
2642
02:21:37.159 --> 02:21:41.399
the only ones that can appropriate money here, and they
2643
02:21:41.479 --> 02:21:43.680
would have standing to do that. The question is would
2644
02:21:43.719 --> 02:21:45.879
they you know, obviously Mike Johnson wouldn't.
2645
02:21:46.319 --> 02:21:48.040
And then is there a weird thing if he goes
2646
02:21:48.040 --> 02:21:52.600
to the Supreme Court around like agencies having too much
2647
02:21:52.719 --> 02:21:53.920
discretion over things?
2648
02:21:53.959 --> 02:21:54.040
Right?
2649
02:21:54.040 --> 02:21:56.239
Because it wasn't that the larger question right with the
2650
02:21:56.319 --> 02:22:00.799
Supreme Court asking like all right, these agents are allowed
2651
02:22:00.879 --> 02:22:03.520
to just do these like the Court has seemed to
2652
02:22:03.559 --> 02:22:07.200
say like, oh no, we believe Congress or the Court
2653
02:22:07.239 --> 02:22:09.719
should make these decisions, right, I mean this.
2654
02:22:09.840 --> 02:22:11.280
Case, agencies are high risk.
2655
02:22:11.760 --> 02:22:13.200
Yeah, Chevron deference.
2656
02:22:13.360 --> 02:22:18.319
There was a question about whether agencies can create regulations
2657
02:22:18.559 --> 02:22:21.600
outside of what's been specifically enumerated by Congress.
2658
02:22:22.000 --> 02:22:24.559
And then there was also the question of whether.
2659
02:22:26.479 --> 02:22:32.520
Agencies have like the judicial authority to impose penalties.
2660
02:22:32.799 --> 02:22:34.719
Without express authorization.
2661
02:22:35.239 --> 02:22:40.079
And yeah, I mean you are somehow hitting on this
2662
02:22:40.280 --> 02:22:43.440
problem that the right wing of America is at odds
2663
02:22:43.520 --> 02:22:46.760
with the right wing of America. It it is always
2664
02:22:46.840 --> 02:22:50.200
that thing where it's oh, this is okay this way,
2665
02:22:50.319 --> 02:22:55.639
but it's not okay that way. Uh, I don't know,
2666
02:22:56.120 --> 02:22:59.639
I I can. This does seem to be one of
2667
02:22:59.680 --> 02:23:02.959
the things. It is a bridge too far for a
2668
02:23:03.040 --> 02:23:06.159
lot of people. And this this really reads.
2669
02:23:06.040 --> 02:23:08.719
As like you're taking two billion of our dollars to
2670
02:23:08.799 --> 02:23:09.440
do what with it?
2671
02:23:10.200 --> 02:23:12.600
You know, and and line them up right? What I
2672
02:23:12.719 --> 02:23:16.120
seen early today before we got on what like where
2673
02:23:16.399 --> 02:23:17.440
who was the company?
2674
02:23:17.559 --> 02:23:21.200
He just Dell, right, I think, Yeahale, just so he
2675
02:23:21.319 --> 02:23:22.600
insider traded with Dell.
2676
02:23:22.799 --> 02:23:22.920
Right.
2677
02:23:23.040 --> 02:23:25.120
He knew that the Defense Department was about to give
2678
02:23:25.200 --> 02:23:27.479
Dell the giant contract, and so he bought a bunch
2679
02:23:27.479 --> 02:23:30.200
of Dell stock. He's been doing this. He traded thirty
2680
02:23:30.200 --> 02:23:33.639
seven hundred stocks in the course of three months. It's
2681
02:23:33.680 --> 02:23:36.600
been an absolute and it's open corruption. It's they're not
2682
02:23:36.719 --> 02:23:39.639
even hiding it. So that is also something that seems
2683
02:23:39.680 --> 02:23:41.440
like a bit of a bridge too far for some people.
2684
02:23:42.639 --> 02:23:43.399
It's adding up.
2685
02:23:43.760 --> 02:23:45.280
It's just it's why does it have to be this
2686
02:23:45.440 --> 02:23:46.000
many things?
2687
02:23:46.120 --> 02:23:46.600
That's the point.
2688
02:23:46.600 --> 02:23:48.360
I mean, because he's I mean, at this point, he
2689
02:23:48.440 --> 02:23:50.319
knows he's a lame duck president. I don't think he
2690
02:23:50.399 --> 02:23:52.959
gives a damn about who. I actually personally don't think
2691
02:23:53.360 --> 02:23:59.479
he cares who the next Republican No either, I don't
2692
02:23:59.520 --> 02:23:59.799
like it.
2693
02:24:00.639 --> 02:24:03.760
But what I'm saying is why for the people are
2694
02:24:03.879 --> 02:24:06.600
these the things that like It's because they had to
2695
02:24:06.639 --> 02:24:09.360
break the cult? Right, But the cult is is the
2696
02:24:09.479 --> 02:24:13.159
fever is beginning to break in a few places. It's
2697
02:24:13.280 --> 02:24:17.879
there is something there. I don't know it's money, that's why.
2698
02:24:18.520 --> 02:24:21.000
Well here's the but here's another bit of this. Right,
2699
02:24:21.440 --> 02:24:23.680
so we're talking about the Yolo caucus. Now do you
2700
02:24:23.760 --> 02:24:25.079
know what the Yolo caucus is?
2701
02:24:25.719 --> 02:24:27.360
I assume these are the people who are about to
2702
02:24:27.399 --> 02:24:29.399
get ousted and now they just don't give a damn.
2703
02:24:29.799 --> 02:24:30.479
That's right there.
2704
02:24:30.520 --> 02:24:34.360
The you only lose once, you only lose ones. Okay, right,
2705
02:24:34.799 --> 02:24:38.000
so Massey got primaried. He's got nothing to worry about.
2706
02:24:38.079 --> 02:24:40.959
He's gonna go read those fucking Epstein names. He doesn't
2707
02:24:40.959 --> 02:24:42.479
give a shit. He already didn't give a shit, but
2708
02:24:42.520 --> 02:24:46.799
he's there, right. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana doesn't give a shit.
2709
02:24:47.040 --> 02:24:47.920
He's in the Yolo.
2710
02:24:48.479 --> 02:24:48.600
Uh.
2711
02:24:48.840 --> 02:24:51.760
Tom Tillis North Carolina already announced he was retiring because
2712
02:24:51.760 --> 02:24:54.319
he knew he would lose in a primary race. And
2713
02:24:54.440 --> 02:24:57.959
now Cornyn just got beat by Kenny Paxson. So we're
2714
02:24:58.040 --> 02:25:01.799
looking at and we're talking about margin here margins. There's
2715
02:25:02.120 --> 02:25:05.879
a three fifty three to forty seven in the Senate.
2716
02:25:06.760 --> 02:25:12.319
So if Cornyon and Tillis and Cassidy, whoop, go the
2717
02:25:12.399 --> 02:25:14.879
other way. Now you're fifty to fifty. Now you got
2718
02:25:15.000 --> 02:25:20.760
Murkowski and Collins. Now you're fifty two against to forty
2719
02:25:20.799 --> 02:25:23.360
eight four and maybe forty nine. Ifew Fetterman's gonna just
2720
02:25:23.399 --> 02:25:24.840
become a fucking Trump.
2721
02:25:24.719 --> 02:25:26.760
Guy or whatever? What for that?
2722
02:25:26.879 --> 02:25:28.159
We need to do a host show on it. Who
2723
02:25:28.200 --> 02:25:31.639
fucking knows about that guy? Okay, but then that's the case.
2724
02:25:31.680 --> 02:25:35.159
I blamed the stroke man. Yeah, well he might have
2725
02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:39.079
been stupid and crazy before then too. In the House,
2726
02:25:39.280 --> 02:25:43.559
you're down to these margins too. Right on a given day, Johnson,
2727
02:25:45.000 --> 02:25:48.600
one or two weeks really functionally one or two. And
2728
02:25:48.879 --> 02:25:50.799
part of that is and this is where we remember
2729
02:25:50.840 --> 02:25:55.719
we said about Tom Keenems in New Jersey. Okay, he's
2730
02:25:55.760 --> 02:25:59.479
in New Jersey, and rumor is that he's sick or
2731
02:25:59.559 --> 02:26:02.399
something like that. That's why he hasn't been seen. But
2732
02:26:02.559 --> 02:26:05.000
his colleagues aren't talking about, Oh, he's sick and we
2733
02:26:05.120 --> 02:26:07.760
need to help him. What they're doing is pretending that
2734
02:26:07.879 --> 02:26:11.200
this isn't happening. Because if King dies or is out,
2735
02:26:11.719 --> 02:26:15.360
then Mikey Cheryl, the Democratic governor of New Jersey, would
2736
02:26:15.360 --> 02:26:17.879
get to appoint somebody to replace him, and that shifts
2737
02:26:17.959 --> 02:26:21.319
the margin. And these guys care more about their margin
2738
02:26:21.399 --> 02:26:25.760
in Congress than they do about their colleague and friend,
2739
02:26:26.479 --> 02:26:31.159
which says a lot. But that's we're down to that thing.
2740
02:26:31.360 --> 02:26:34.799
So Massy going balls out. It could it could flip
2741
02:26:35.040 --> 02:26:37.840
some stuff. He's got Bobert kind of coming along with him,
2742
02:26:38.319 --> 02:26:40.920
right because she was campaigning with him on the Epstein stuff,
2743
02:26:41.280 --> 02:26:44.920
and Trump's like, fucking, I'm going after her too. Emptyg's
2744
02:26:44.920 --> 02:26:48.040
already out, She's gone, gone, gone. But you could we're
2745
02:26:48.079 --> 02:26:51.319
talking on the March, we're really talking about a handful
2746
02:26:51.879 --> 02:26:55.600
handful of people can flip this stuff and that Yolo
2747
02:26:55.719 --> 02:26:58.440
Caucus is taking any and all takers you want to join,
2748
02:26:58.760 --> 02:27:01.319
Come on in, man, you gotta get burned anyway, you
2749
02:27:01.360 --> 02:27:03.200
may as well have some fucking fun while you do it.
2750
02:27:04.959 --> 02:27:07.760
Pay attention to that. I think, you know, we we
2751
02:27:07.959 --> 02:27:10.319
often don't get to say that, but there's something there
2752
02:27:11.200 --> 02:27:12.040
be watching.
2753
02:27:13.280 --> 02:27:13.479
Down.
2754
02:27:14.639 --> 02:27:17.319
Yeah, are good. No, I'm just saying it just makes.
2755
02:27:17.159 --> 02:27:20.079
The end of this year very interesting around anything they're
2756
02:27:20.120 --> 02:27:23.079
trying to get across the line, because it's over with
2757
02:27:23.280 --> 02:27:23.959
after this year.
2758
02:27:24.520 --> 02:27:27.120
Well, and if the election does happen in November and
2759
02:27:27.360 --> 02:27:31.040
there is a flip, and that flip doesn't get sworn
2760
02:27:31.079 --> 02:27:34.639
in until January, you can imagine.
2761
02:27:34.719 --> 02:27:36.120
I'm thinking more like March.
2762
02:27:37.760 --> 02:27:39.799
I think I think it doesn't get sworn into March
2763
02:27:39.840 --> 02:27:41.479
because this is gonna go to the courts and it's
2764
02:27:41.479 --> 02:27:41.799
gonna be.
2765
02:27:42.159 --> 02:27:42.639
But it goes.
2766
02:27:42.760 --> 02:27:45.559
It goes after the election doesn't immediately happen. So Johnson
2767
02:27:45.559 --> 02:27:48.639
will have to keep Congress closed until that point because
2768
02:27:48.639 --> 02:27:50.440
there will be so many people who have already lost
2769
02:27:50.479 --> 02:27:52.479
and don't give a shit anymore and want to save
2770
02:27:52.600 --> 02:27:55.760
some sort of a career or reputation for their future
2771
02:27:55.799 --> 02:27:58.600
and family that they are gonna start doing stuff. So
2772
02:27:59.120 --> 02:28:02.120
the blame du condor is a problem for Republicans too.
2773
02:28:03.920 --> 02:28:07.799
Pay attention, this is there's something here. Okay, there's something here.
2774
02:28:08.000 --> 02:28:10.840
And the Epstein stuff really is gonna matter. If Mazzie
2775
02:28:10.920 --> 02:28:12.680
really does go to the floor and start naming names,
2776
02:28:12.840 --> 02:28:13.920
shit is gonna hit the fan.
2777
02:28:14.760 --> 02:28:18.120
You better be ready ready for that. Okay, heads up.
2778
02:28:19.079 --> 02:28:22.239
Down In Alabama, they tried to redo their voting districts
2779
02:28:22.319 --> 02:28:26.639
again after the Supreme Court said that black people can't
2780
02:28:26.719 --> 02:28:30.600
vote anymore, and then so they they redro that. They
2781
02:28:30.639 --> 02:28:32.159
went back to the line that got struck down in
2782
02:28:32.200 --> 02:28:35.120
twenty twenty three. The court was like, hey, you guys
2783
02:28:35.200 --> 02:28:37.639
already said that you did this because you're being racist,
2784
02:28:38.040 --> 02:28:40.280
and Alabama was like, what, No, we didn't. They're like, yeah,
2785
02:28:40.360 --> 02:28:41.879
you did you write it in this email? You're like,
2786
02:28:41.959 --> 02:28:43.639
fuck these black guys, we don't want to let them
2787
02:28:43.719 --> 02:28:47.040
vote anymore. And they were like, oh, yeah, we did
2788
02:28:47.120 --> 02:28:49.200
write that, didn't we. And they're like, we shouldn't let
2789
02:28:49.280 --> 02:28:53.239
Klaytas have an email. But so Claytas fucked them over
2790
02:28:53.479 --> 02:28:55.520
and the court was like, nah, you still can't do
2791
02:28:55.639 --> 02:28:59.360
this one okay, So it saved one district, but that's
2792
02:28:59.440 --> 02:29:01.360
probably gonna to get appealed up to the Supreme Court.
2793
02:29:01.639 --> 02:29:06.479
There's an incredible quote from Governor k Ivy where she
2794
02:29:06.600 --> 02:29:10.600
said that something like only Alabamians know what Alabamians need
2795
02:29:10.719 --> 02:29:12.920
or something. We know our state better than others, and
2796
02:29:13.079 --> 02:29:16.600
we we can't let the courts tell us what we
2797
02:29:16.680 --> 02:29:20.799
should be doing. What does that mean when when yeah,
2798
02:29:20.920 --> 02:29:21.760
state's rights.
2799
02:29:21.559 --> 02:29:22.520
To do what exactly?
2800
02:29:23.879 --> 02:29:27.159
Governor what do you want to do?
2801
02:29:27.319 --> 02:29:28.399
Governor Ivy say?
2802
02:29:28.559 --> 02:29:30.600
You can say it's okay, we already got the tapes,
2803
02:29:30.840 --> 02:29:33.079
we already had the emails. We know what you're saying.
2804
02:29:33.399 --> 02:29:36.120
Why are you saying this? Why are you saying this?
2805
02:29:37.000 --> 02:29:37.799
Just just tell us.
2806
02:29:37.959 --> 02:29:39.680
Also, Tommy Tubberville lives in Florida.
2807
02:29:40.879 --> 02:29:41.000
Uh.
2808
02:29:41.280 --> 02:29:45.639
And finally, the Nigerian prince scam that we've all been
2809
02:29:45.680 --> 02:29:49.799
living under, turns out there is a Nigerian email print
2810
02:29:49.879 --> 02:29:53.079
scam of some kind happening in where Brian.
2811
02:29:56.120 --> 02:29:58.680
One of my favorite countries Thailand.
2812
02:29:58.680 --> 02:30:04.520
Yes, land of the spicy food and spicy women and
2813
02:30:04.639 --> 02:30:08.159
spicy women apparently. Okay, so what's going what's going on
2814
02:30:08.319 --> 02:30:13.000
in Thailand? Here are the Nigerians doing the the lady
2815
02:30:13.040 --> 02:30:14.840
boy emails? What's happening.
2816
02:30:15.079 --> 02:30:19.639
Yeah, so pretty much based off of the story they
2817
02:30:20.159 --> 02:30:22.360
set up. It was this is this is kind of
2818
02:30:22.440 --> 02:30:25.239
up and and Tessa's territory. So they set up an
2819
02:30:25.360 --> 02:30:26.639
Ai serverery.
2820
02:30:29.239 --> 02:30:29.959
Let's clarify.
2821
02:30:30.120 --> 02:30:31.200
Yeah, let's let's clarify.
2822
02:30:31.280 --> 02:30:32.360
What do you mean by that, Brian?
2823
02:30:33.120 --> 02:30:36.399
So pretty much they were trying to do again the
2824
02:30:36.559 --> 02:30:42.040
typical Nigerians, classic Nigerian scam, but they used a i
2825
02:30:43.000 --> 02:30:46.840
uh for their for their benefit and pretty much again
2826
02:30:46.879 --> 02:30:50.200
it was in connection to prostitution and stuff like that.
2827
02:30:51.200 --> 02:30:53.520
It got you know, the Tie police got aware of
2828
02:30:53.600 --> 02:30:57.159
it and they made a huge bus and collected like
2829
02:30:57.360 --> 02:30:59.120
six Nigerians.
2830
02:31:01.799 --> 02:31:05.120
Who they were prostitution scandal made a huge bunty.
2831
02:31:05.600 --> 02:31:09.120
Okay, but who Yeah, it's funny who but who were
2832
02:31:09.200 --> 02:31:10.680
the Nigerian scamming?
2833
02:31:12.520 --> 02:31:17.719
Hold on, let me show it. I'm usually on the
2834
02:31:17.879 --> 02:31:19.760
chill card and get ready to go to you know
2835
02:31:20.000 --> 02:31:20.520
stuff like that.
2836
02:31:21.680 --> 02:31:26.280
Well I read it and they were scamming Thai women. Yes,
2837
02:31:28.040 --> 02:31:31.799
so they were pretending to be Western professionals like pilots,
2838
02:31:31.920 --> 02:31:37.159
military officers, American military officers, doctors and engineers and targeting
2839
02:31:37.200 --> 02:31:39.639
older Thai women and trying to get them to fall
2840
02:31:39.760 --> 02:31:42.479
in love and then send them money for a bunch
2841
02:31:42.559 --> 02:31:48.600
of other dumb stuff like, uh, needing visas or helping.
2842
02:31:48.680 --> 02:31:50.239
I don't know what did they say that they needed.
2843
02:31:52.719 --> 02:31:54.959
I don't know, the same the same stuff they always do, like,
2844
02:31:55.000 --> 02:31:56.479
oh no, I just need a little money to like,
2845
02:31:56.639 --> 02:31:57.479
you know, set up.
2846
02:31:59.479 --> 02:32:03.079
Together. Yeah. This this happens so much.
2847
02:32:03.239 --> 02:32:04.719
I once had a woman to come to me after
2848
02:32:04.760 --> 02:32:08.360
I was doing a workshop on my computers and she
2849
02:32:08.520 --> 02:32:10.319
was like, can I ask you a question? And she
2850
02:32:10.440 --> 02:32:13.079
was like going through the store, She's like, so I've
2851
02:32:13.120 --> 02:32:14.840
been talking to this guy online.
2852
02:32:14.920 --> 02:32:17.440
I was like, oh no, no, no, man.
2853
02:32:17.639 --> 02:32:20.520
And then she keeps going out and she's like, she's like,
2854
02:32:20.920 --> 02:32:23.719
he's supposed to be a vice president for BP.
2855
02:32:24.639 --> 02:32:28.440
Yes, be at BP British Petroleum. Yeah. Sure, and she's
2856
02:32:28.559 --> 02:32:30.559
like and she's like, I've sent him some money. I
2857
02:32:30.639 --> 02:32:33.600
was like, oh my god. So I'm trying like all right, well,
2858
02:32:33.639 --> 02:32:33.840
how do.
2859
02:32:33.920 --> 02:32:36.520
I do this to like teach something and like just
2860
02:32:36.639 --> 02:32:41.120
like some general like I don't know digital literacy. And
2861
02:32:41.920 --> 02:32:43.920
I was like, all right, well, if he's a real
2862
02:32:44.079 --> 02:32:46.520
person and he works for British Petroleum and he's a
2863
02:32:46.600 --> 02:32:48.879
vice president, we should be able to find him on
2864
02:32:49.000 --> 02:32:52.600
one of these pages, like the vice president's right there there.
2865
02:32:52.719 --> 02:32:55.520
They're able, but they used to have headshots, a little bio,
2866
02:32:56.319 --> 02:32:58.799
and we went on and we did some looking and
2867
02:32:58.920 --> 02:33:01.200
then it took about five five minutes and it clicked
2868
02:33:01.239 --> 02:33:03.440
and she was like, I've been scammed.
2869
02:33:03.479 --> 02:33:07.159
And I was like, yeah, you have been scammed. So yeah,
2870
02:33:07.280 --> 02:33:10.760
this happens a lot. They they pray on people.
2871
02:33:11.479 --> 02:33:14.360
It's not nice, and it's and and it's always the
2872
02:33:14.479 --> 02:33:17.680
same move though. That's I'm wondering, like what if it
2873
02:33:17.760 --> 02:33:18.559
works straight?
2874
02:33:18.760 --> 02:33:21.440
Obviously there's enough of it, But who's fallen for this?
2875
02:33:22.280 --> 02:33:22.399
Oh?
2876
02:33:22.440 --> 02:33:25.239
I met somebody online and and here's all these great
2877
02:33:25.319 --> 02:33:28.920
things about them, especially with AI and and the ability
2878
02:33:29.000 --> 02:33:31.000
to like sift your data and find out exactly what
2879
02:33:31.079 --> 02:33:34.040
you're in exact imagine like I come on this show
2880
02:33:34.079 --> 02:33:36.360
and be like, guys, I just met this awesome best
2881
02:33:36.399 --> 02:33:37.200
friend of us.
2882
02:33:37.760 --> 02:33:40.639
He's he's perfect. We gotta get him on the show.
2883
02:33:40.639 --> 02:33:41.440
You're gonna love him.
2884
02:33:41.639 --> 02:33:48.159
Turns out he is a Gunner's Everton Orioles, Ravens, redskins Man,
2885
02:33:48.680 --> 02:33:54.000
and he loves everything about like dad jokes and everything.
2886
02:33:54.040 --> 02:33:57.040
I'm like, you're gonna be like, oh, that's fake. That's
2887
02:33:57.079 --> 02:34:00.760
a made up that somebody googled or ai the show
2888
02:34:00.920 --> 02:34:04.639
and just pulled what they took from that. Like, who's
2889
02:34:04.719 --> 02:34:05.280
falling for that?
2890
02:34:05.479 --> 02:34:06.440
What are we doing here?
2891
02:34:06.520 --> 02:34:06.719
Guys?
2892
02:34:06.760 --> 02:34:08.440
A lot of people are falling for this, and it's
2893
02:34:08.479 --> 02:34:13.399
gonna get worse because why how do we fix that regulation?
2894
02:34:14.399 --> 02:34:14.920
Regulation?
2895
02:34:15.559 --> 02:34:16.200
It's the Internet.
2896
02:34:16.200 --> 02:34:17.680
They're gonna do whatever the fuck they want.
2897
02:34:18.000 --> 02:34:19.120
We go to that.
2898
02:34:20.639 --> 02:34:23.559
How do you how do you happening there?
2899
02:34:24.079 --> 02:34:28.559
Like the government can pass laws. I know that doesn't
2900
02:34:28.600 --> 02:34:30.520
happen anymore, but they can pass laws.
2901
02:34:30.879 --> 02:34:35.520
People can get around that, especially with the Internet. Doesn't
2902
02:34:35.559 --> 02:34:36.440
mean you don't try.
2903
02:34:38.239 --> 02:34:43.360
Breaking news, Yes, breaking news, well pretty much.
2904
02:34:43.319 --> 02:34:44.520
This was did okay?
2905
02:34:44.600 --> 02:34:48.079
See when uh I don't know and I don't care.
2906
02:34:48.600 --> 02:34:51.440
Okay, breaking news, yeah.
2907
02:34:51.280 --> 02:34:53.799
Breaking news, but no, this is this is relating to
2908
02:34:53.920 --> 02:34:58.639
politics and this was probably happened about yesterday pretty much
2909
02:34:58.680 --> 02:35:04.360
four hours ago. Martina McBride is now claiming that she
2910
02:35:04.680 --> 02:35:09.440
is removing herself from the Oh she's out to State Fair. Yes,
2911
02:35:10.280 --> 02:35:12.840
so we had the time, you know, Morris, stay in
2912
02:35:12.920 --> 02:35:16.440
the time, drop out young mc. Because if anyone has
2913
02:35:16.479 --> 02:35:20.040
seen the Instagram post or whatever, there was a lot
2914
02:35:20.079 --> 02:35:22.760
of notable you know, classic stars. They were supposed to
2915
02:35:22.799 --> 02:35:28.239
be at this great American fair thing and everyone say,
2916
02:35:28.360 --> 02:35:29.959
hell no, we hate but fall of this.
2917
02:35:30.879 --> 02:35:33.120
So I don't think that the Trump people actually secured
2918
02:35:33.120 --> 02:35:34.639
a lot of this stuff. But like, the list was
2919
02:35:34.680 --> 02:35:36.879
pretty bad. It's Millie Vanilli, Vanilla Ice.
2920
02:35:38.639 --> 02:35:40.680
You I don't know why where the billy?
2921
02:35:40.879 --> 02:35:44.239
Yeah there was one right, there was the the one
2922
02:35:44.360 --> 02:35:48.120
guy who isn't actually in CNC Music Factory pretending to
2923
02:35:48.239 --> 02:35:49.959
be c C Music Factory.
2924
02:35:50.920 --> 02:35:54.120
Uh, and and then Morris Day and the motherfucking time.
2925
02:35:54.200 --> 02:35:57.159
We're like, nah, man, this is this is not cool.
2926
02:35:57.200 --> 02:35:58.280
We did not sign up for this.
2927
02:36:02.079 --> 02:36:02.920
Yeah, that's funny.
2928
02:36:04.479 --> 02:36:06.239
So who is gonna perform? They're gonna have to get
2929
02:36:06.280 --> 02:36:06.959
kid Rock beat.
2930
02:36:08.520 --> 02:36:09.120
Rock, so.
2931
02:36:12.680 --> 02:36:14.200
You know, knowing him, that's.
2932
02:36:14.040 --> 02:36:17.360
An incredible show. I can't wait to go to see
2933
02:36:17.440 --> 02:36:21.360
Kid Rock and Vanilla Ice. Also, san Ane did win,
2934
02:36:21.600 --> 02:36:24.200
So now we've got a game seven to watch. These
2935
02:36:24.600 --> 02:36:27.399
teams make themselves very, very tired for when the Nick.
2936
02:36:27.520 --> 02:36:28.559
The Knicks might run.
2937
02:36:28.680 --> 02:36:31.680
I think the Knicks might really like I five games
2938
02:36:31.760 --> 02:36:34.959
and surprise everybody, they're gonna them up. I'm telling you,
2939
02:36:35.079 --> 02:36:37.520
no one believes that. I just think these two teams
2940
02:36:37.559 --> 02:36:40.239
are they're getting banged up. They're going seven games and
2941
02:36:40.360 --> 02:36:42.079
this will be the one time where and the Knicks
2942
02:36:42.079 --> 02:36:43.040
will like a juggernaut.
2943
02:36:43.079 --> 02:36:44.920
I know they say they haven't played anybody. I want
2944
02:36:44.959 --> 02:36:46.639
to see the the s G. A. Bruns and like,
2945
02:36:46.840 --> 02:36:50.000
uh matchup and ship. But that is gonna be fucking epic.
2946
02:36:50.600 --> 02:36:54.399
Is gonna be something else? Yeah, I hey, look this
2947
02:36:54.600 --> 02:36:56.879
is what you want, right, This is this kind of finals.
2948
02:36:57.639 --> 02:37:02.040
Yeah that's great. Okay, well good, So Brian's off with
2949
02:37:02.159 --> 02:37:05.120

02:37:40.200 --> 02:37:41.639
was back when they actually did win and No.
2964
02:37:41.760 --> 02:37:44.600
Four, which is crazy because I obviously during that time
2965
02:37:44.760 --> 02:37:48.360
I wasn't like deep into Arsenal, but I always remember
2966
02:37:48.600 --> 02:37:51.200
seeing it as like I must have been at that point.
2967
02:37:51.239 --> 02:37:53.399
I got ten or eleven and I was like, Wow,
2968
02:37:53.799 --> 02:37:56.879
that's a jersey of Saga on it. That's so fucking cool,
2969
02:37:57.799 --> 02:37:59.360
and yeah, look at us now.
2970
02:37:59.760 --> 02:38:00.559

2973
02:38:07.000 --> 02:38:09.520
So I'm feeling the love too. It's good we get
