1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Thanks, Ronnie.

2
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it's Monday.

3
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's a Monday in November.

4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

5
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 1>It got a little chilly last week, but now the

6
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>sun is shining and it's warm and it's wide. We

7
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>live in southern California because it's beautiful out and it

8
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>will be beautiful all the way through Thanksgiving and through

9
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Christmas and the holidays and everything that you can think of.

10
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>It is Monday. Got a lot to unpack. Fred Rogan

11
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>is out, but my man Ben Mollin is in the

12
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>house today.

13
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Benny, Ben, this is the first.

14
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 3>I've worked with Fred a few times, but I've not

15
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>worked with you first. So this is the maiden Boy,

16
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>how can I possibly screw this up?

17
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>Fine?

18
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.359
<v Speaker 3>I will try not to screw it up, Rodney, I

19
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 3>will attend to stay the course. Okay, I was actually

20
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 3>I was at the Charger game last night. I'll say

21
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 3>that later when, yes, when Eric is in here and

22
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 3>all that stuff. But I was there and it actually

23
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 3>felt like a Charger home game. I've been to a

24
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 3>lot of Charger games. It didn't normally it does not

25
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 3>feel like that. Is that more of a testimony over

26
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 3>the lack of people from Cincinnati that live in southern

27
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 3>California or I don't know, but there were more many

28
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 3>more Charger fans than Bango fans.

29
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 2>That is kind of cool.

30
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>That is encouraging if you are a Charger fan, you're

31
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a LA resident, because you don't want to see that.

32
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't even I don't even care, Ben, And we

33
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>will get into it a lot more when Eric Dickerson

34
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>joins the show at one o'clock for NFL Spotlight the

35
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Ford NFL Spotlight at one to three. But I think

36
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>it is also a you know, a good thing for

37
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>LA people in general, LA fans in general, because that

38
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>is the rap Ben. That is the rap on LA

39
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>is that uh LA fans are front runners and only

40
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're doing well and teams come into LA, whether

41
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it be so Fi, We're not so much Dodger Stadium,

42
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>but it could be some other places, even even the

43
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Coliseum of the Rosebow from time to time that they'll

44
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 1>get drowned out by the opposing teams that come into town.

45
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>So that was that's that's kind of encouraging to hear that.

46
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>The Chargers and and by the way, as we mentioned,

47
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into it, but by the way, the Chargers

48
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>are kind of slowly kind of grooving into being a

49
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 1>really good team that's about to be a playoff team. Bennie.

50
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they are.

51
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 3>Looking like a playoff team, though I am confused, and

52
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I only get too much into it now because I

53
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 3>know there's other stuff we have to talk about. But

54
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 3>we'll get to it.

55
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>You know.

56
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 3>The Charge w win that game last night and everyone's like, well,

57
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 3>it's a culture change and all that, but they win

58
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 3>it because the idiot kicker for the Bengals missus two kicks. Yeah,

59
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 3>is that really a culture change? Was it just they

60
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 3>were worse than you were. You know, we'll get we'll

61
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 3>get to it. How about that the Tyson fight?

62
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh, let's talk about that.

63
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>We got to take it off.

64
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 3>Now. Do you have a party, Robbie, I don't know.

65
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Did you have a fight party? Like old school fight party?

66
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 4>No?

67
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Ben, You know, normally I would either either have the

68
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>party or go to go to a party. I wasn't

69
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>sure you know what I was gonna do. Uh this

70
00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 1>this weekend obviously, uh SC and Nebraska was homecomings. Had

71
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of friends that that were coming in town

72
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>that lived out of state that were coming back for homecoming.

73
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Is kind of a tradition thing that that that most

74
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 1>most schools do. Most schools will have their homecoming and

75
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>people will come back and visit, whether they live out

76
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 1>of town or from there. And even when I say

77
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>live out of town, there's a lot of folks that

78
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>live in San Diego, Orange County that come up for

79
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>homecoming and that's like the one game that they go to.

80
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 1>So there's there's a little bit of a reunion that

81
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you get to see some some people that you haven't

82
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>seen in a long time. And that was that was

83
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the case on Saturday. And thank god USC came out

84
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 1>with a win, and we'll talk about that too, but uh,

85
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of getting themselves right beating a Nebraska team,

86
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>which is a you know, not they're not great, but

87
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to get that win at home with a new starting

88
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and the new era, it looks like it's starting

89
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to begin at USC. It was good, But going to

90
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the to the the Tyson Fight the night before, I

91
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>was I was looking forward to it. I didn't want

92
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to go to any big parties because I didn't want

93
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to be let down. I don't want to be let

94
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>down by by the by the fight itself. I mean,

95
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>the hype obviously is the hype. It's on Netflix. You know,

96
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>it got postponed from back in July and then got

97
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, moved to November. There were questions about Mike

98
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and his health and was he going to be able

99
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to be and and be ready to go and and

100
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>whether this was stage or fixed or all of those

101
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of things. So I didn't get into the big

102
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>party thing, and at least for me hosting it, I didn't.

103
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, I did get invited to a

104
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>couple of little parties, but I just wanted to watch

105
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>it and kind of be quiet with my My son

106
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>came over and we just we we watched that thing, man,

107
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and I was thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly just disappointed.

108
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 3>You didn't like watching statues.

109
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it was disappointing, you know, And everybody

110
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 1>tried to make comparisons to Oh, look, you know certain

111
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>guys can do this at fifties. George Foreman came back

112
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and did it. You know, this is the first time,

113
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, Dave Paul's going to really fight somebody that's

114
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 1>like legitimate and can legitimize his little boxing career. No, no, no,

115
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 1>he fought a fifty eight year old Mike Tyson, who

116
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>yes in the Instagram and TikTok clips can look great

117
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 1>and look like he is a fierce Mike Tyson of

118
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the nineties. But man, after the second round, there were

119
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>no legs left to Mike Tyson and I felt.

120
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>That, yeah, he had four minutes. He was a four

121
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>minute man. That was it.

122
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 3>And I actually I had a friend in town, not

123
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 3>homecoming or anything, buddy. My mine was in town from Dallas,

124
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>so we went out. But I was very rude, Roddy.

125
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 3>I was watching on my phone. The power of Netflix,

126
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, is not a pay per view thing, so

127
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:00.040
<v Speaker 3>I can watch it.

128
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Wherever I want.

129
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 3>So I I was my face was planted in the

130
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 3>phone watching it.

131
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I actually planned to stay home and watch the fight.

132
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad I didn't because it was so It was

133
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>so bad.

134
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 3>It was exactly you know, you don't want to waste

135
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 3>a Friday night and all that, So I watched it

136
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 3>on my phone. I was anti social, but I'm introvert anyway, Rodney,

137
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 3>so I don't really talk to him anyway. So I

138
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 3>watched it on my phone and I was like, okay

139
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 3>in my heart, you know, because we're kind of around.

140
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Same ajor, right. I was like, I wanted Tyson to win, right.

141
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 3>I was like, this is I covered some Tyson fights

142
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 3>back when I was early in my career and he

143
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 3>was at the end of his boxing career, and I

144
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 3>have fond memories of when I was was much younger,

145
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 3>the you know badness man on the planet Iron Mike,

146
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.680
<v Speaker 3>and I thought, like, you know, some way, it's kind

147
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 3>of like when I watched al Michaels do a game

148
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 3>on TV. I flashed back to my childhood, right, because

149
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:50.199
<v Speaker 3>I grew up watching.

150
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Your head exactly right.

151
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 3>So I think like I flashed back in time to

152
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 3>when I was, you know, however old I was at

153
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 3>that time. And so watching Tyson, I was like, oh man,

154
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 3>this is gonna be awesome Mike Tyson. But then as

155
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 3>as we got closer to the fight, I watched some

156
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 3>of the sparring I don't know if you saw any

157
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>of that leading up to the fight, and he just

158
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 3>looked slow. He just looked like he didn't have anything.

159
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 3>And it's a sparring match, that's that's supposed to be

160
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:15.319
<v Speaker 3>a sizzle reel.

161
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 1>And and then and.

162
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Then you watch the fight and you're absolutely right, right,

163
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean two rounds in your Tyson won the first

164
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 3>two rounds and then after that. I mean you look

165
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 3>at the punch numbers, which aren't always accurate. Mike Tyson

166
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>landed in eight rounds of boxing, Rodney.

167
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Do you see how many punches he landed.

168
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 3>You see the stat eighteen punches in eight rounds. Yeah,

169
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 3>he averaged two point twenty five punches. And I would

170
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 3>argue if you saw on the glove, then oh, then

171
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 3>those puffy gloves. They had the puffy gloves, which is

172
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, the whole thing.

173
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Was to distract him. Was it like the thirty six

174
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 1>ounce gloves that they used. Yeah, they clubs eight ounce

175
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 1>clubs that they used in that fight. I don't know,

176
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 1>you know he was, Yeah, he was biting the gloves

177
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the whole fight. And it was again, you know, the

178
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 1>hype before the fight, the slap, you know, at the

179
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>way in, you're like, okay, this is on, and everybody

180
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 1>believed that it was gonna be you know, Okay, you

181
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 1>can say what you want about Mike, but man, he's

182
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 1>a guy that you do not want to get in

183
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the ring because he will revert back to nineteen nineties.

184
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm with you in the nineties. Going to a

185
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Mike Tyson fight was that was it. There were a

186
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of things, but it was must see, must go to.

187
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>If you had a chance to go to Vegas and

188
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 1>watch Mike Tyson fight, Ye, man, that was that was

189
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>That was, That was it, and you better get there

190
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and get in your seats early because it could be

191
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 1>over in one round, could be over in two rounds.

192
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>And Mike was as dominant as there ever was from

193
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a heavyweight standpoint. We hadn't seen anything like that. And

194
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what you kind of hold on to as as

195
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>people of a certain age like I am and like

196
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.799
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned, like you are, that you hold on to

197
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>those memories that maybe there's gonna be a glimpse of that,

198
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 1>maybe there's gonna be a moment where Mike can bring

199
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.639
<v Speaker 1>it back for a moment that he can show people

200
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 1>that you can't get in the ring with Mike Tyson.

201
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, Mike is a real deal. This is not

202
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a joke. This is not one of those things where

203
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>you can be a YouTuber and fighting UFC guys that

204
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>are out of their prime and not at Boxing's not

205
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>their number one skill set and you can beat those

206
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.039
<v Speaker 1>guys up, but now you're fighting Mike Tyson, and I

207
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 1>don't care if he's fifty eight, sixty eight, thirty eight,

208
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 1>whatever he is, He's still Mike Tyson. And a part

209
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of you was feeling that, please let that come out.

210
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>At least for me, it was. I don't know about you,

211
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, yeah, it was it. And it never did

212
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it never, it never reared its head. It never got

213
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 1>to that point and there was there was never any

214
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>danger for Jack Paul and that fight and almost was

215
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>which I hate to say that Jake Paul took took

216
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 1>pity on Mike Tyson.

217
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, I'm annoyed by Jake Paul. Roddy.

218
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 3>I did I want someone to actually beat him up.

219
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 3>He's very annoying to me. I do not I do

220
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 3>not like to stick at all. And I will give

221
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 3>Tyson and and Jake Paul their due.

222
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I hate doing that.

223
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 3>But they in the lead up to the fight, and

224
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 3>it's the old PT Barnum stuff. Without promotion, uh, something

225
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.720
<v Speaker 3>terrible happens, which is nothing. They were able to do

226
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 3>a great job promoting the fight, right. They They did

227
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 3>all the usual things in boxing where you mentioned Tyson

228
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 3>slapping Jake Paul, which is a standard at the way

229
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 3>in that's like the standard boxing stuff, you know, screaming.

230
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.399
<v Speaker 2>This that I'm gonna kill you, all that stuff.

231
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean that they had all of that, but ultimately,

232
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, Jake Paul is the whole boxing thing. He's

233
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 3>a he's a guy that's found a hustle. And and

234
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.519
<v Speaker 3>I guess we're suckers because we we didn't pay for

235
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we pay for Netflix, Roddy, but I don't

236
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 3>know that I would have paid for this if it

237
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 3>had been you know, been charging for ye yeah, maybe

238
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 3>I would have. But listen, Jake Paul made forty million

239
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 3>dollars forty million, which I did the math on this.

240
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 3>He landed seventy eight punches. This is the most amazing

241
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 3>thing here, Rodney. So Jake Paul going against the guy

242
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 3>and Tyson at this point camp move. He's in his

243
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.960
<v Speaker 3>late fifties, and Jake Paul threw two hundred seventy eight

244
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 3>punches and landed seventy eight. That's less than thirty percent

245
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.919
<v Speaker 3>against an immovable object in Mike Tyson. But he made

246
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Jake Paul made five over five hundred thousand dollars per

247
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 3>punch landed in that fact, and Tyson, he made even

248
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 3>more because he only landed eighteen punches, so he made.

249
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Me what did did Mike make the same amount? No?

250
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 3>He actually, well, according to what I read on the internet,

251
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 3>and I'm never wrong about these things. In Los am

252
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Tyson made twenty million. But there's also there's some other

253
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.440
<v Speaker 3>money that could come in later. But Tyson twenty million.

254
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

255
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 3>So he eighteen million punch. So that's one a little

256
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 3>over one point one million per punch landed by Mike Tyson.

257
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 2>And and so there you go. But Jake Paul, Who's

258
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 2>he gonna fight next? Rodney?

259
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. That's the thing, you know, because this

260
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>this for whatever thought process that that Jake Paul had,

261
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>that this was going to give him, you know, credibility

262
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and boxing, it took a step back because it didn't.

263
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>And and and I don't know where he goes other

264
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>than fighting a top ten, top twelve contender in the

265
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>heavwaweight division. You you can't go from what we just

266
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 1>saw and expect to get any kind of legitimacy if

267
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't fight somebody real that's a real boxer, a

268
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>real contender, and boxing is their science. It's not mixed

269
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>martial arts, a guy that's hanging on it's a finishing

270
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>his career in MMA, and and all of a sudden

271
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>he wants to get in the ring and get that

272
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>one last payday. It's got to be a guy that

273
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>is a legitimate contender in boxing, a w B, a BC,

274
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>whatever it may be, IBF. It's got to be one

275
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>of those guys in order for it to be even

276
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>credible for the next time, because I don't know who.

277
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 1>First of all, yes, Netflix partnered with them and they

278
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 1>made a lot of money and people tuned in and

279
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>was great for Netflix and they hyped it up. But

280
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>if this goes pay per view next time, I don't

281
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>know who buys this unless it is a legitimate contender. Yeah.

282
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.600
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think Rodny, based on my knowledge of this,

283
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 3>that Jake Paul has any interest in being legit. He's

284
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:40.720
<v Speaker 3>in the interest of making money.

285
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I get it.

286
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 3>He's making tons of money here and he's found a hustle,

287
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 3>and I guess this pays better than being an.

288
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>You don't think he wants to, you know, after this

289
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.200
<v Speaker 1>it is like the questions and the pride and all

290
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. You don't think that he wants

291
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>to let me just go fight somebody that's real, and

292
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I see this happening. He wants money grab.

293
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 3>He wants the guy who's the other guy who can

294
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:06.240
<v Speaker 3>he can sellcready. Yeah, Connor McGregor's McGregor's a great showman.

295
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.519
<v Speaker 3>Remember that Mayweather McGregor. He was also a sham fight

296
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 3>because Mayweather didn't.

297
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Do any.

298
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, yeah, exactly, Like he's like, all right, the bunny

299
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 3>of the people have got their money's work and they

300
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Mayweather decided a box and and it was a disaster

301
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.080
<v Speaker 3>for for Connor McGregor at that point.

302
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>But that the news conference.

303
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 3>I remember doing the overnight show Rodney and we had

304
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 3>so much fun with Connor McGregor, and they were doing

305
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>that national tour around North America.

306
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 2>It was so entertaining.

307
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Both of them are the same guy.

308
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>It was so good. It was so any day.

309
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, you put McGregor and Jake Paul together, that

310
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:46.279
<v Speaker 3>would be entertaining.

311
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 2>That wouldn't be good boxing, No, it would be terrible boxing.

312
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>But it doesn't matter. They'd make a lot of money.

313
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 3>And and people said they questioned, and I talked about

314
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 3>this a little bit last night last week. Rather we

315
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 3>were talking about a previous show they did on the

316
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 3>Overnight about the box and they were like, well, this

317
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 3>Tyson things, it's ruining boxing. And you know, Rodney from

318
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 3>from following the fight game over the years, this is

319
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.559
<v Speaker 3>what boxing is. Muhammad Ali at the end of his

320
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 3>career fought a wrestler in Japan.

321
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Because he made a lot of money, right I mean.

322
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 3>And two football guy at too Tall Jones became a

323
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 3>boxer at one point and then went back to football.

324
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.000
<v Speaker 3>There's always been things like this where guys have have

325
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.879
<v Speaker 3>futzed around and and you know, people saying it's disrespectful. No,

326
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.120
<v Speaker 3>in the fact that people exactly and people fall for it,

327
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 3>and I'll follow it. I openly admit I was not entertained.

328
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I did not. Do you have any stream issues, Rodney,

329
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I did not have any stream.

330
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 1>Issues on it. I had it early on where it

331
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>was buffering. I know a lot of people talked about

332
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 1>the buffering. There were a bunch of jokes and memes

333
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and going around with the buffering thing. I had it

334
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:47.440
<v Speaker 1>early before the fight started, but after that I didn't.

335
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have any issues with it. It was it

336
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>was clean.

337
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 3>I got lucky. I did not have issues. I wish

338
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 3>I did. I could have complained about Afflix, but I

339
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.720
<v Speaker 3>did not. I saw everyone else complaining. I was like,

340
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 3>it was fine for me. I mean, I had no

341
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 3>issue at all. So I don't know what happened. Where

342
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 3>does Mike Tyson go from it? What does Mike Tyson

343
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 3>take away from this? How does he go forward? Because

344
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna get asked. You know, Mike is out there.

345
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 3>He's been very active on social media the last few years.

346
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's really rebranded himself and and people will

347
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.519
<v Speaker 3>love to see him and hear from him, and he

348
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.960
<v Speaker 3>and he goes on eight million different shows. How do

349
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 3>you think he responds to this and and comes off

350
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.120
<v Speaker 3>of this performance.

351
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>He'll just go is he making money? Hand over fist

352
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:33.240
<v Speaker 2>selling marijuana?

353
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Right?

354
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

355
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.279
<v Speaker 2>YEA sold for him?

356
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:36.759
<v Speaker 3>You know it's great. This is good prom otion. He

357
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 3>made some more money, and he'll go back to doing

358
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:40.559
<v Speaker 3>what are you doing? Maybe he can sell that. I

359
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 3>saw the story about the toad venom. Maybe he can

360
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.720
<v Speaker 3>sell toad venom to the masses. Rodney, you can he

361
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.360
<v Speaker 3>commercially distribute toad venom to major stores around the country

362
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 3>so we can all enjoy tod I'm sure you guys

363
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 3>why talking to this last week, But the the Tyson

364
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Speaker 3>Mike Tyson interview with that little girl, the kid reporter.

365
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.120
<v Speaker 3>I still laugh at that. It's been a few day,

366
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.000
<v Speaker 3>but this kid reporter asked Tyson about his legacy. Tyson

367
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:07.359
<v Speaker 3>goes in this very ghoulish, macabre rats about it. We're

368
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 3>just dust, And I mean it was very I mean,

369
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.400
<v Speaker 3>it was a little sweet little girl it.

370
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Tyson went.

371
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.160
<v Speaker 3>He went very dark at that moment, and it was

372
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 3>I still a truggle.

373
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 2>And he talked about.

374
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 3>Almost dying after the fight back in June. Remember that

375
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.039
<v Speaker 3>medical situation.

376
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it was like.

377
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 3>He had a bunch of blood transfusions and it was

378
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.279
<v Speaker 3>much worse than had been.

379
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Reported and all that.

380
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 3>So he's not gonna you can't imagine he's gonna do

381
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 3>anything more with boxing at this point. He's fifty eight.

382
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 1>And fifty eight and yeah, other than you know, one

383
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 1>of these you know, two round whatever exhibition they might do,

384
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>or the clinics or whatever he might but to do

385
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>anything competitive after that, it was clear that he had

386
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 1>no legs. Fifty eight caught up to him father time.

387
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 1>As we everybody said, undefeated. I know that first hand.

388
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I tried to do some things with my kids and though, man,

389
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 1>my mind is telling me I can do it, but

390
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>but damn, I can't even I can't do it. I

391
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>can't anger.

392
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.359
<v Speaker 3>The other thing too, Rodney is the thing that everyone

393
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.400
<v Speaker 3>was talking about. The viral moment from the fight was

394
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.160
<v Speaker 3>the locker room interview that Mike did when he was

395
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 3>walking around and he showed me like that, You like, well,

396
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I've always wanted I always want to look

397
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 3>at Rodney's bear took hs.

398
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I am honored that he showed me.

399
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 3>And uh, how how upset you think he put the

400
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.960
<v Speaker 3>like the director at Netflix was Rodney, which because they

401
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't anticipate Mike walking away like that, probably.

402
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.480
<v Speaker 1>They did not know. I guarantee you they did not.

403
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 1>They did not. That was not part of the package.

404
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 1>That was not part of the interview or Mike turns around,

405
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.440
<v Speaker 1>kisses his son on the cheek and walks walks off

406
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.119
<v Speaker 1>off for the world to see.

407
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.079
<v Speaker 2>All all the backside of Mike.

408
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.039
<v Speaker 4>H No, that was that was definitely not part of

409
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:58.599
<v Speaker 4>the planet and it's Ben Mahler in form Fred Rogan

450
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.240
<v Speaker 3>back in the day, Rodney. I did it for for

451
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.200
<v Speaker 3>years on radio, and then a couple of years ago

452
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:09.359
<v Speaker 3>I got approached by one of the big executives at NBC.

453
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:11.440
<v Speaker 3>They say, hey, we like this, we want to make

454
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:13.640
<v Speaker 3>this a TV show. And I was like, are you kidding?

455
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I thought I was getting punked. I thought, and there's

456
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 3>no way, right, there's no way, they're going to turn

457
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.680
<v Speaker 3>this thing into a TV show. And sure enough, one

458
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:22.680
<v Speaker 3>of the big executives over there is a big fan

459
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:24.880
<v Speaker 3>of the show and my overnight showing stuff, and he

460
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.519
<v Speaker 3>wanted to do it, and I said yes, and so

461
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 3>I the last two years the show actually got picked

462
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 3>up Rodney, which I thought, well, they'll give me the show,

463
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:34.279
<v Speaker 3>but once the show's broadcast, I'm not going to pick

464
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:36.759
<v Speaker 3>it up for a second season. There's no way. And

465
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 3>they actually did. And so I do it every week.

466
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.519
<v Speaker 3>I go in. I spend a lot of my time handicapping.

467
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:43.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, you know you played in the NFL, so

468
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:45.680
<v Speaker 3>you know the ins and outs of it. But as

469
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 3>an outsider, I handicapped the games. I tell you what

470
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 3>should happen, and then I get all games. What are

471
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.319
<v Speaker 3>you picking? You jumping from sport to sport?

472
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 2>No, No, it's all. It's all NFL, every NFL game.

473
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 3>It's during the NFL season, so we we have shows

474
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 3>schedule all the way till a week after the Super Bowl.

475
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's just during football season.

476
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a seasonal show and we flip the penny up

477
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:08.880
<v Speaker 3>in the air and if it lands on heads, it's

478
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 3>the home team's strategy. Yeah, well that's the penny, but no,

479
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.319
<v Speaker 3>my strategy. No, no, here's the problem. So I spend

480
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I do the overnight show during the week, and then

481
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.720
<v Speaker 3>after the show around wrapping around the show, I spent

482
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 3>a lot of my free time obsessing over trends and numbers,

483
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:25.920
<v Speaker 3>and I look at it and then I go out

484
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 3>and I challenge myself. I pick every game against the

485
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.599
<v Speaker 3>point spread, and then I determine, you know, what I

486
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 3>think is gonna happen. I give my picks, and then

487
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.279
<v Speaker 3>the penny. We flip the penny up. One of the

488
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:39.039
<v Speaker 3>executives at the network flips the penny up, and that's

489
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 3>the pennies picks and I'm.

490
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Getting smoked, Rodney, I'm getting I'm.

491
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Getting destroyed by an inadamant object. It's so embarrassing, like

492
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, what am I doing here? Why am I

493
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.240
<v Speaker 3>wasting my time handicapping these NFL games? And it went,

494
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 3>you just flip a penny up in the air, and

495
00:22:55.440 --> 00:23:01.039
<v Speaker 3>like things that should happen don't happen. It's very very right. Sometimes, Oh,

496
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.319
<v Speaker 3>the paty has been great this year. You actually have

497
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 3>won money if you take in the pays advice. But

498
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:06.279
<v Speaker 3>the season is not.

499
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Over, Rodney.

500
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not a game left.

501
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, We've still got many weeks to go. I did

502
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.160
<v Speaker 3>very well in the playoffs last year. I actually won

503
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 3>last year. But this year, I am I'm embarrassing my

504
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 3>ask you, Benny, let me ask you this.

505
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, I mean, because you just mentioned you spend

506
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time handicapping, looking up stats, injury reports,

507
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of stuff. Yeah, are you? And I

508
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:27.799
<v Speaker 1>always I When I played, I was amazed, and even

509
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 1>more so now that I'm retired, amaze how accurate Vegas

510
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.079
<v Speaker 1>is when it comes to picking these games and how

511
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>close the lines are. Are you amazed at that? Or

512
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:40.839
<v Speaker 1>is it a science that?

513
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:41.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean?

514
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.119
<v Speaker 1>How do they get it so right most of the time.

515
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't want to go deep state conspiracy Rodney

516
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:48.559
<v Speaker 3>and say it's all it's just some funny business going on,

517
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.160
<v Speaker 3>but it is.

518
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>It is they.

519
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.680
<v Speaker 3>They they're maestros of it the way they've been able

520
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:54.839
<v Speaker 3>to They're always within And I wait.

521
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Wait before you say that, because I say that, you

522
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:57.799
<v Speaker 1>say I want to get a conspiracy because I can

523
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 1>say this from from a guy that plays, Yeah, that

524
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:06.279
<v Speaker 1>there was no like And I was a guy who

525
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:09.079
<v Speaker 1>played in the position and quarterback that could control a

526
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of things and control what was going on. And

527
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I never never would get you know, beforehand, someone talked

528
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 1>to me, Oh, this the line is three, it's probably

529
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:22.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be three. That's where it's gonna be, and blah

530
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.640
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. You guys are gonna do this and the

531
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 1>defense is going to do that. But it was so

532
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:31.240
<v Speaker 1>accurate that you would think, man, they got somebody on

533
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the inside, but really in essence because again from a

534
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.559
<v Speaker 1>guy that played was in there, there was nobody on

535
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the inside. But they figured it out of how to

536
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:43.039
<v Speaker 1>create these lines and get it right. Most of the time, yeah.

537
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:45.880
<v Speaker 3>They're always within a few points of the points spread,

538
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 3>except usually there's one or two games a week that's

539
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:51.200
<v Speaker 3>a blowout that's lopsided they get wrong. But other than that,

540
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:54.960
<v Speaker 3>everything is pretty much within the margins. And it's the

541
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:58.039
<v Speaker 3>thing about it that blows me away is you base this.

542
00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:59.960
<v Speaker 3>A lot of the handicapping that I do and more

543
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.039
<v Speaker 3>those people do is based on what has happened. And

544
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 3>as the old sportscaster Dick Stockton told me years ago,

545
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.640
<v Speaker 3>say his stats tell you what has happened, not what's

546
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 3>going to happen. But you make these picks based on

547
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.079
<v Speaker 3>what has happened, and then there's all these other variables,

548
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:16.039
<v Speaker 3>as you know, Rodney playing quarterback for the lines back,

549
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.279
<v Speaker 3>and then guys get hurt. You know, you have backups

550
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.920
<v Speaker 3>coming in and yet they're still within the number most

551
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 3>of the time.

552
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>It is.

553
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 3>It is wild, and it's it's a little hobby that

554
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 3>I've had here handicapping the games, and I had some

555
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 3>really good.

556
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Years just on radio late at night.

557
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:35.680
<v Speaker 3>I did it on the podcast for a while, but

558
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 3>I've done it on TV the last two years. And

559
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.519
<v Speaker 3>I won last year, but I was not impressive. I

560
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 3>did not meet my standards. And this year I'm doing

561
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 3>the Walk of Shame on a weekly basis fun. It's

562
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.720
<v Speaker 3>very embarrassing to me that just yet, I feel like,

563
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 3>what am I doing. I spent all my time handicapping

564
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.200
<v Speaker 3>these games and all that, and then our things happened. Yeah,

565
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.480
<v Speaker 3>and there's some pillars that I have that I've used

566
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.559
<v Speaker 3>over the years. Or you know, anytime the divisional games

567
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:03.880
<v Speaker 3>seven points or more, you take the underdog. Usually things

568
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.480
<v Speaker 3>like that, these divisional games usually close, and those things

569
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:09.039
<v Speaker 3>have usually worked out for me. But Yeah, it's a

570
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 3>it's a weekly struggle. And every week I'm optimistic though, righting.

571
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Every week i walk into that TV studio over at Universal,

572
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, Oh, this is gonna be this is gonna

573
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:18.160
<v Speaker 3>be my week, this is it. And then I walk

574
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 3>and by the end of the weekend, I got my

575
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 3>my tail between my legs and I'm like, what.

576
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 2>A loser I am.

577
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.079
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't it doesn't go A week doesn't go by

578
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>if I'm even you know, I'm a homebody nowadays, but

579
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't get out that whole you know, a whole lot. Yeah,

580
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>when I do, we doesn't go by. It's like, you know,

581
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.039
<v Speaker 1>somebody's running up to me. I who you like this

582
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:39.200
<v Speaker 1>week with the Rams cover? Where what about sc got cover?

583
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't have no idea, you know,

584
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 1>go with my gut and tell you where my heart is.

585
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 1>But but I have no idea. But yet these guys

586
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely know. Man, it's uh, it's it's pretty incredible. I

587
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:54.359
<v Speaker 1>won't pick your bank brain about that a little bit later.

588
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 1>But but but let's let's go get into the Dodgers man,

589
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.799
<v Speaker 1>because you and I haven't had a chance to really

590
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 1>do brief and talk about that and maybe we'll you know,

591
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.400
<v Speaker 1>throw in some calls here because here we are hot

592
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.759
<v Speaker 1>stove free agent time. Dodgers just win the World Series.

593
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people are like, well, why why are

594
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.119
<v Speaker 1>we making noise in the offseason when you just won

595
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the World Series? Just bring everybody back and call it

596
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a day and and and try to win another one

597
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the next year. But that's not how it works. You know, Guys,

598
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>contracts are up. Guys contracts may be coming up. There

599
00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:31.119
<v Speaker 1>are guys that you may need that even though you

600
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:33.400
<v Speaker 1>want it, are a little bit of a weakness for

601
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 1>your team. So you you want to try to improve

602
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:39.119
<v Speaker 1>to continue this. Uh I'm gonna call it dynasty yet,

603
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 1>but it kind of contruved. You know, can can continue

604
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.720
<v Speaker 1>this wave that you had of making the playoffs every

605
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 1>single year and possibly win in the World Series. That

606
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.160
<v Speaker 1>being said, are are you a guy that goes and

607
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.519
<v Speaker 1>and really tries to be aggressive like the Dodgers can

608
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>be when they had all the money and free agency,

609
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>or do you don't play the name game because Fred

610
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:05.880
<v Speaker 1>hates the name game, you know, as you know, yeah,

611
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:09.039
<v Speaker 1>and try to keep your team intact regardless of who's

612
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.359
<v Speaker 1>out there, like a Wan Soto or whomever else might

613
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 1>be out there. Yeah.

614
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 3>So I growing up a Dodger fan. They never spent

615
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 3>that much money, Roddy, So I always like, I love

616
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:20.839
<v Speaker 3>the fact that we're now in the goldilocks here for

617
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:23.519
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers, that they are the what the Yankees used

618
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.720
<v Speaker 3>to be when George Steinbrenner owned the Yankees. His kids

619
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.000
<v Speaker 3>aren't to say, but that's what's essentially what the Dodgers are.

620
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 3>They've got, you know, anyone they want, they can pretty

621
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:34.640
<v Speaker 3>much get because of the TV deal and the fans

622
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 3>that have supported the team so much.

623
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>So I love this.

624
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to poo poo this, but.

625
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 2>The fact that they did win the World Series.

626
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 3>It was like Tommy Edmund and you know Walker Buehler

627
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.960
<v Speaker 3>who had two Tommy John operations and went out there,

628
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:47.680
<v Speaker 3>you know Tony because he was hurt or whatever.

629
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.279
<v Speaker 2>He didn't play that great in the World Series.

630
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:51.319
<v Speaker 3>It was pretty bad in the World Series and they

631
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.599
<v Speaker 3>still won the championship. And that's usually what ends up

632
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:57.400
<v Speaker 3>happening when they When they won back in the COVID

633
00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 3>year in twenty twenty, there were guys that stepped up.

634
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 3>Ay Hernandez and some other guys that year. So, but

635
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.440
<v Speaker 3>you'd rather have the big name players. I mean, from

636
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:09.759
<v Speaker 3>a talk radio standpoint, Rodney, it makes our job more

637
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.359
<v Speaker 3>fun to have interesting characters to talk about and all that.

638
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 2>So I fully support it.

639
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.039
<v Speaker 3>I love they have endless amounts of money because I

640
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:18.640
<v Speaker 3>know this is not gonna last forever. At some point

641
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:21.319
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna ownership, whether it's this ownership or they sell

642
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 3>the team, whatever, They'll be like, you know, we're not

643
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:24.200
<v Speaker 3>gonna spend the money anymore.

644
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 2>So I want to enjoy this. I want to soak

645
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 2>all this up.

646
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.319
<v Speaker 1>He's great, do you I've been on the soapbox about

647
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>this forever that you know. As much as I am

648
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a huge Dodger fan, have been for a long time.

649
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Love my Dodger, love the Dodger fans, But the Dodger

650
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:44.640
<v Speaker 1>fans are are spoiled in the essence that the Dodgers

651
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>are in the playoffs every single year. They may, you know,

652
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 1>people want to fire everybody. Obviously, the Dave Roberts fire

653
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.880
<v Speaker 1>ever happens every other week in this town. But they

654
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 1>are in the playoffs. In the conversation every single year,

655
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:02.319
<v Speaker 1>and you can't say that about other teams around the League,

656
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe other than the Yankees, and and uh and now

657
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 1>you know where Steve Cohen owns the Mets, He's gonna

658
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 1>try to make them as relevant as possible. But you

659
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>see other even iconic franchises like the Boston Red Sox

660
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 1>win a World Series and they're gonna they ship out

661
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Mookie Betts and they get rid of everybody else and

662
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 1>say we're gonna lose for the next five years and

663
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.079
<v Speaker 1>then we'll try to get it back. Not the Dodgers.

664
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:30.359
<v Speaker 1>They continuously are in the conversation and and the Dodger

665
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:35.559
<v Speaker 1>fans sometimes, you know, I don't think are appreciative of

666
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 1>what they have and ownership and the way the Dodgers

667
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 1>have maintained this level of excellence of being in that

668
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 1>conversation and win a title every single year.

669
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 2>See, I'm gonna.

670
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Defend the fans, right because the fans job is not

671
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.960
<v Speaker 3>to appreciate. The fans job is to expect.

672
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.839
<v Speaker 2>More and more and more and more and more.

673
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.559
<v Speaker 3>And uh, listen, the Dodgers of all the fans, like

674
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.839
<v Speaker 3>the Lakers have you know much demise me.

675
00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm a I'm a Clipper, guy.

676
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:02.759
<v Speaker 3>Rodney, I'm not a lay But the Lakers have support.

677
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 3>But no one, no one has more support in this

678
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:08.000
<v Speaker 3>town than the Dodgers.

679
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.279
<v Speaker 1>It's not even just like taking over. You saw the

680
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:16.119
<v Speaker 1>parade and you knew, okay, yeah it's a smashing Dodgers

681
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:17.119
<v Speaker 1>and then everybody else.

682
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like like as far as like some of the

683
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:21.720
<v Speaker 3>moves in the you know, the offseason they're gonna make.

684
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Walker Buehler is the one that's a lot, you know,

685
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:25.079
<v Speaker 3>a lot of getting a lot of buzz right now,

686
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Walker Buehler.

687
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:27.480
<v Speaker 2>There's a bunch of teams.

688
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:31.359
<v Speaker 3>That are attempting to to swow or wig I should say, uh,

689
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:33.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, to get get Walker Buhler to come to

690
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 3>their their team. And you know, he's been linked to

691
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 3>the Braves and the Cubs and a bunch of other teams.

692
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:41.559
<v Speaker 3>This this last couple of weeks here as free agency

693
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 3>gets going in baseball, and I got an unpopular pan.

694
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:47.599
<v Speaker 3>I love Walker Buhler. Last year, have you not loved me?

695
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 3>He didn't running the World Series and no earned runs

696
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.240
<v Speaker 3>in the World Series and was a key factor in

697
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 3>them winning the championship. But if he left, I'd be

698
00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:59.839
<v Speaker 3>okay with that. I don't know that he can sustain.

699
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 3>I would bet against him sustaining that during the regular season.

700
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:07.759
<v Speaker 3>But he was the most dominant Dodger postseason pitcher that

701
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.519
<v Speaker 3>we've seen in many years.

702
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 2>And they're in the.

703
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:13.319
<v Speaker 3>Playoffs every year, Rodney. But to see a guy dominate

704
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 3>like Walker Butler did at the end there was awesome.

705
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.960
<v Speaker 3>It reminded me the last couple of appearances of Madison

706
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Bumgarden of the Giants when they were winning the World

707
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.559
<v Speaker 3>Series every other year, and how dominant he was. Bueller

708
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 3>was great and wonderful. But if he wants to go

709
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:29.319
<v Speaker 3>he's from the South. If he wants to go play

710
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.640
<v Speaker 3>for the Braves or whatever, go to the Cubs. More

711
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:33.279
<v Speaker 3>power to you. Knock it out of the park. Hope

712
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:34.359
<v Speaker 3>he gets paid a ton of money.

713
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, So but you're you're saying you're you you'll

714
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.319
<v Speaker 1>be okay yeah with them, not really. I don't only

715
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:46.160
<v Speaker 1>say aggressively, but be competitive in the Walker Bueler sweepstakes.

716
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 1>You'll be okay letting him walk.

717
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Well because of the injury history and and the other

718
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:53.279
<v Speaker 3>thing is, I know greedy Dodgers will as a Dodger supporter,

719
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:55.440
<v Speaker 3>they will just go sign somebody else. Roddy, Right, So

720
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.920
<v Speaker 3>you have Walker Leaves they'll whether it's Corbyn Burns who

721
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. If I'm all all in on Corbyn Burns,

722
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 3>I think that's that's risky business based on his age

723
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:06.119
<v Speaker 3>and what could happen going forward.

724
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:07.480
<v Speaker 2>So, uh, you know the.

725
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Picture from Japan, I mean there's there's they're going to

726
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.400
<v Speaker 3>sign someone, whether they you know, whoever it might be,

727
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 3>and they'll they'll be a'll be a good pictures, likely healthier.

728
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:16.960
<v Speaker 3>The other thing that's frustrating Roddney, I don't want to

729
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:18.880
<v Speaker 3>get into that here is that whoever they sign, it's

730
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker 3>like last year they made all his moves and Glass

731
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.480
<v Speaker 3>now wasn't even there in the playoffs because he got hurt.

732
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:25.720
<v Speaker 3>So it's like, you sign these guys, you trade for

733
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:27.759
<v Speaker 3>these guys, and you don't even know if they're gonna

734
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.000
<v Speaker 3>be there by the time October comes around. And this

735
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.519
<v Speaker 3>Dodger team that won the World Series, they had more

736
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:34.559
<v Speaker 3>players on the injured list, it seemed, than they had

737
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:36.920
<v Speaker 3>who were actually on the field and they still won.

738
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 3>So but they all the big name like many of

739
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:40.079
<v Speaker 3>the big names weren't even o there.

740
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:43.119
<v Speaker 2>They weren't even playing. So we'll see how it goes.

741
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.720
<v Speaker 3>But I love the fact that this is continuing on

742
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:50.160
<v Speaker 3>here the Dodgers ownership fully committed to bringing in the

743
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:53.079
<v Speaker 3>top players and they're not just resting on their laurels,

744
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 3>like hey, wait, wait won now two World Series. We're

745
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 3>no longer the Atlanta Braves of the Knights were better

746
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.799
<v Speaker 3>than that, and they're like, no, they want more. They're greed.

747
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.680
<v Speaker 3>You gotta be greedy, ridy, right, you gotta. It's like

748
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:05.400
<v Speaker 3>me back in the day. It's a buffet. You gotta

749
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.440
<v Speaker 3>be greedy, man, you gotta go for it.

750
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:12.239
<v Speaker 1>I love it, Yeah, absolutely, yes, But what does that

751
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:16.280
<v Speaker 1>greed end? And as uh as they say, you're a

752
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:20.440
<v Speaker 1>gambling man? Yeah, sure, all money not good money. And

753
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that when we come back. Oh yes,

754
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Today's afternoon Delight is Texas by Blake Shelton. The country

755
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.599
<v Speaker 1>star dropped this single last weekend, and what is its

756
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:42.719
<v Speaker 1>first release since leaving Warner Music for the BMG Music label.

757
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.679
<v Speaker 1>The singer said that his time off from recording music

758
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and being a judge on the Voice reinvigorated him. When

759
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about the song, he said, the thing that struck

760
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.440
<v Speaker 1>me about Texas immediately was how different it sounded from me.

761
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:01.119
<v Speaker 1>And I'm always looking to push myself else. I think

762
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.239
<v Speaker 1>there's something really special about this record and important for

763
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:15.559
<v Speaker 1>me again. Today's Afternoon Delight is Texas by Blake Shelton.

764
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Uh Ben Mahler joins us, spreads out, Hey Ben so

765
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:26.840
<v Speaker 1>staying with the Dodgers. Yes, and by the way, Eric Dickerson.

766
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Dickerson is going to join us for the Ford NFL

767
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Spotlight coming up at the top of the hour at

768
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:35.199
<v Speaker 1>one o'clock and we'll get into the Rams charge and

769
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the NFL. But right now, going back

770
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.559
<v Speaker 1>to the Dodgers, there's some there's a obviously a lot

771
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of name's been thrown out there about who the Dodgers

772
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:45.239
<v Speaker 1>may bring in the free agency. We talked about some

773
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:49.159
<v Speaker 1>of the pitchers. One name comes up and has been

774
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:55.360
<v Speaker 1>coming up is Carlos Korea. Now they the Dodgers have

775
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.039
<v Speaker 1>already said that Mooki is moving back to the infill

776
00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and most believe that he's going to move back to

777
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:03.400
<v Speaker 1>second base. We did the uh he played, you know

778
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of games that shortstop, got injured and then

779
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:09.840
<v Speaker 1>went back to right field. But they are saying that

780
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:11.719
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna come back to the n FILM. Most believe

781
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.039
<v Speaker 1>that he's gonna come back and play second base, which

782
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:17.599
<v Speaker 1>leaves a lot of questions for guys like Gavin Lux,

783
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Key k even Chris Taylor, Uh, what's that gonna look

784
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:26.639
<v Speaker 1>like going forward? And then a couple other names. Willia

785
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Domas has come up as as far as the Dodgers

786
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:32.760
<v Speaker 1>bringing them in play shortstop full time. You know, obviously

787
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:34.719
<v Speaker 1>we love Mickey Rowe, but he had his share of

788
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:37.679
<v Speaker 1>injuries last year and wasn't able to play in the

789
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 1>postseason as much as uh as he to have liked.

790
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:44.320
<v Speaker 1>And then another name, Carlos Carre is starting to pop up.

791
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:48.079
<v Speaker 1>When you hear that name as a Dodger fan, and

792
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:52.679
<v Speaker 1>as many Dodger fans are out there, you know, and

793
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.079
<v Speaker 1>I could, I guess I could feel their stomach starting

794
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:57.199
<v Speaker 1>to turn a little bit. But when you hear Carlos

795
00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.679
<v Speaker 1>care or anybody from that Astros team that beat the

796
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers in well that cheated.

797
00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:03.719
<v Speaker 2>They did beat them.

798
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Rodney, Yeah, when you hear names like that, Carlos Korea

799
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.079
<v Speaker 1>possibly the Dodgers looking at how does that make you feel?

800
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe it. I think I do not believe that.

801
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.719
<v Speaker 3>I know they've won now two World Series since twenty twenty.

802
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:19.599
<v Speaker 2>I get that. It makes me want to puke in

803
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:20.000
<v Speaker 2>my mouth.

804
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:26.039
<v Speaker 3>Carlos Correa was one of the headliners on that cheating episode.

805
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:28.199
<v Speaker 3>The back and forth between him and some of the

806
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 3>other guys on the cheat they both went really oh yeah,

807
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:34.360
<v Speaker 3>they definitely went at it. But I want nothing to

808
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.480
<v Speaker 3>do with Carlos Korea.

809
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Keep them away.

810
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.360
<v Speaker 3>There are plenty of other options. If you're the Dodgers,

811
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:42.760
<v Speaker 3>do not open up that wound again. You do not

812
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:45.320
<v Speaker 3>want to. You don't want to touch any of those

813
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:47.599
<v Speaker 3>guys that were part of the twenty seventeen Astros, the

814
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:51.119
<v Speaker 3>core of it, Altuve and Bregman and those guys. I

815
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.280
<v Speaker 3>want nothing to do with those guys. I don't care

816
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.119
<v Speaker 3>if it's been seven or eight years, whatever it's going

817
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:57.000
<v Speaker 3>to be by next year. I want nothing to do

818
00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:59.719
<v Speaker 3>with those guys. And the Dodgers. I don't believe they

819
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.079
<v Speaker 3>think this is fake. I know I saw the story

820
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:04.119
<v Speaker 3>over the weekend. I don't buy it. I think that

821
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:06.840
<v Speaker 3>was started by Correa and his camp to try to

822
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:09.440
<v Speaker 3>get out of Minnesota or whatever. But I do not

823
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:12.880
<v Speaker 3>believe they're gonna now they are gonna trade a bunch

824
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:14.960
<v Speaker 3>of guys right because as you said, Mookie Betts is

825
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:17.000
<v Speaker 3>gonna go back to the infield, and so there's a

826
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:19.760
<v Speaker 3>numbers game there where Gavin Lux likely is on the

827
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 3>outside unless they move him somewhere else, and they you'll

828
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 3>move him, change, have him changed positions, so he's likely

829
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:28.519
<v Speaker 3>gonna get traded and they're gonna have to fortify the bullpen.

830
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:31.920
<v Speaker 3>And I saw the story that Gradarol is gonna be

831
00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:35.159
<v Speaker 3>out for half the season after you shoulder Surgier. Last

832
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.840
<v Speaker 3>last week he came out, so you know, you're gonna

833
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.840
<v Speaker 3>have to shuffle the bullpen yet again. So they'll they'll

834
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:43.039
<v Speaker 3>trade some of those guys for relief pitchers. I like

835
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Tommy Edmond. I put him out there. Tommy Edmond was

836
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:47.800
<v Speaker 3>great in the plus. That's the kind of guy that

837
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:48.920
<v Speaker 3>that you want to have.

838
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:49.639
<v Speaker 2>In the plus.

839
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.079
<v Speaker 3>He's not he's a big not a big money guy, Rodney,

840
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 3>but we saw him in the NLCS when he absolutely

841
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.280
<v Speaker 3>dominated against the Mets.

842
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.960
<v Speaker 1>So uh and and and you know, as you jas,

843
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:04.519
<v Speaker 1>obviously you got you know, getting older, got you got

844
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.159
<v Speaker 1>got injured, got banged up and was injured, you know

845
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the postseason. But you're okay with having

846
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe bringing bringing you know, having him there

847
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:16.239
<v Speaker 1>along with the Tommy Edmond that could be your regular shortstop.

848
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:18.760
<v Speaker 1>And you guys, you know they the Dodgers live with

849
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:21.639
<v Speaker 1>those two guys as your regular shortstop and let Mookie

850
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:24.440
<v Speaker 1>play play second base. It's still you know, obviously, like

851
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned, leaves uh leaves Gavin Lux out of the cold,

852
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:31.480
<v Speaker 1>but as shortstop, that wouldn't be a bad combination. Have

853
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 1>those two guys play shortstop throughout the season.

854
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:34.719
<v Speaker 2>But it would not.

855
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:36.760
<v Speaker 3>And the other thing too, we have to remember and

856
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:39.320
<v Speaker 3>we've learned this last few years and it's been this

857
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.760
<v Speaker 3>way for a long time at baseball. They identify an

858
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:44.320
<v Speaker 3>issue in the offseason, but it's really for the first half.

859
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.239
<v Speaker 3>Whatever moves they make you for the first half because

860
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:48.480
<v Speaker 3>then the trade deadline, they've got to fortify the roster.

861
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they've got to bring new players in.

862
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:55.039
<v Speaker 3>So you're really building the roster for late March, early

863
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:58.840
<v Speaker 3>April until the trade deadline, which is in some times

864
00:39:59.280 --> 00:39:59.800
<v Speaker 3>it was a.

865
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 1>Different name, if it was a different name other than

866
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Carlos Correa, would you be okay with them entertaining bringing

867
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>in and a guy of that quality because he is

868
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:12.639
<v Speaker 1>top shelf when it comes to shortstops in this league,

869
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.199
<v Speaker 1>would you be okay with them looking at him?

870
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Listen, there's other infield, Willia Domas. I'm fine with

871
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Willia Domas. Like will William Domas is a good ballplayer,

872
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.159
<v Speaker 3>and I think he'd fit in well with the Dodgers

873
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:27.519
<v Speaker 3>if they were to bring him in here. And he's

874
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.599
<v Speaker 3>a name that has been tossed around. He played pretty

875
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:34.719
<v Speaker 3>well for Milwaukee last year. He's right around I think

876
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:36.760
<v Speaker 3>he's almost thirty or close to it or something like that.

877
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.360
<v Speaker 2>So a guy like that, yeah, I'd be fine with.

878
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:41.360
<v Speaker 3>And he doesn't, you know, see Rodney, he doesn't have

879
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:44.880
<v Speaker 3>the cooties of Carlos Cara. That's I kid, Okay, my

880
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:46.159
<v Speaker 3>boardop at the time.

881
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Roberto is now a fine bus driver.

882
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:50.239
<v Speaker 3>He's still paying off his World Series. Take us in

883
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty seventeen to watch the team from Houston cheat in

884
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:54.239
<v Speaker 3>the World Series.

885
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:56.519
<v Speaker 1>It still bothers me bad task. It's one thing to

886
00:40:56.559 --> 00:40:59.559
<v Speaker 1>have the bad taste right in your mouth about that team.

887
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:02.440
<v Speaker 1>But he, like you mentioned, he was one of the

888
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.039
<v Speaker 1>more vocal guys about throwing it in the Dodger's face

889
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.920
<v Speaker 1>or anybody else's face about them cheating. There was no remorse,

890
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:15.360
<v Speaker 1>There was no like you know, listen, it was no no,

891
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:18.679
<v Speaker 1>he was, he was, he went, he doubled down on

892
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:20.679
<v Speaker 1>it didn't matter. We want any way.

893
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, he was walking.

894
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:23.440
<v Speaker 3>Around like a peacock rider. It was like he was

895
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.360
<v Speaker 3>look at me. He had all the arrogance and Shulman

896
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:28.519
<v Speaker 3>ship and all that. I mean, there was no sense of, well,

897
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.639
<v Speaker 3>maybe I screwed this up, maybe this was not should

898
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:35.280
<v Speaker 3>be quiet? Yeah, exactly to just be quiet. He got

899
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:38.599
<v Speaker 3>on megaphone, it was going to how annoys. He's like

900
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:41.039
<v Speaker 3>a professional wrestler from back to the day Rodney.

901
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Right, yeah, absolutely so. So in that respect, what do

902
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:46.119
<v Speaker 1>you feel about like Alex Bregman, who's one of the

903
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:49.840
<v Speaker 1>big you know, free agents out there. He's an ass,

904
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.079
<v Speaker 1>was on that team the whole deal, but not as

905
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:53.079
<v Speaker 1>arrogant as.

906
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.679
<v Speaker 3>He but he's right there, cut out of the same clothing.

907
00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:00.639
<v Speaker 3>I want nothing to do with Bregman, no to do again.

908
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:04.239
<v Speaker 3>Let him go play wherever, go to Toronto like another

909
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:09.199
<v Speaker 3>cheating asscro went the world series MVP of that that

910
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:11.599
<v Speaker 3>you're playing the outfit of the bitches. But listen, I

911
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:14.960
<v Speaker 3>don't want any of those guys, And to me, none

912
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:16.000
<v Speaker 3>of them are in the Hall of Fame.

913
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Rodney.

914
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:18.760
<v Speaker 3>People talk about al Tuba is Hall of Famer. I

915
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.039
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't put him in. You know, you don't put Pete

916
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Rose in for cheat. This was a fixing World series

917
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:26.320
<v Speaker 3>of the Astros. There's some of these steroid guys. I

918
00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:28.480
<v Speaker 3>don't want to get in that conversation with Bonds and

919
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:31.199
<v Speaker 3>Clemens can't get in the Hall of Fame. Altuba shouldn't

920
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:32.480
<v Speaker 3>get in the Hall of Fame. I think he's the

921
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:34.679
<v Speaker 3>only one this really got a shot to go in

922
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:36.440
<v Speaker 3>the Hall of Fame. As far as the position players

923
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:40.119
<v Speaker 3>on that team, yeah, L two and from the twenty

924
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:43.000
<v Speaker 3>seventeenth I don't and Bregman almost saying.

925
00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:44.000
<v Speaker 2>He's all of it. I don't. I don't.

926
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:45.400
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't seem like a Hall of Famer to me.

927
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.039
<v Speaker 3>But in all candor, though, there's so many other guys

928
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.519
<v Speaker 3>out there. You don't need to bring in Bregman or

929
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:54.159
<v Speaker 3>care or any of these guys. Go get somebody else.

930
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:56.679
<v Speaker 3>There's plenty of other players that are either younger or

931
00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:59.239
<v Speaker 3>just as good and uh, and go out and get

932
00:42:59.239 --> 00:42:59.880
<v Speaker 3>one of those.

933
00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Guys, Benny.

934
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, Man, don't need them, don't need them.

935
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Don't want them, don't need them. We don't need them.

936
00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right. On the other side, man, let's get

937
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.199
<v Speaker 1>into some football. We'll bring in the Hall of Famer

939
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:18.039
<v Speaker 1>the Rams and they're winning. Chargers hold on after trying

940
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:21.320
<v Speaker 1>to be doing what the Chargers always do is blowing

941
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a lead. But they didn't do it. We'll get into
