So thank you very much 31 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.680 for your support for helping to just spread the word 32 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.800 about this, this one small show in a giant ocean 33 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.360 of infinite podcasts these days. So it's a it's a 34 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.960 huge body of water that I'm in, so any bit 35 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.520 of help keeps me from drowning. 36 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:37.280 So thank you. 37 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.759 I do appreciate that. So we are back. We're here. 38 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:47.159 It's exciting. I am happy to be here. I feel energized. 39 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.120 I feel pretty well rested here. That's always a good thing. 40 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.680 And it's just it's it's hard to know where to begin. 41 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.400 There's so many different things happening all at once, but 42 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:08.599 really it's one big story happening and overhanging all of 43 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.319 the drama, all of the distractions, all the things that 44 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:17.240 were worked up and directed towards. Our attention is constantly 45 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.919 being directed in all sorts of directions, which is fascinating 46 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:31.039 to pick apart the untold numbers of propaganda campaigns that 47 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.800 are assaulting us at all hours of the day, even 48 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.719 while we sleep, Even while even while you sleep, they 49 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.919 will find you acting on your best behavior. Right, Everybody 50 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.240 wants to rule the world, and the way that they 51 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.280 do it is by crafting these clever little narratives that 52 00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:01.960 play to the fancies of public discourse and the tastes 53 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:07.159 of the average person, the tastes that we're supposed to have, 54 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:11.960 the tastes that so often we've been programmed with, the 55 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:17.519 ideas have already been implanted into us by various methods 56 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:24.240 through our upbringing and existence in this bizarre, artificial world 57 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.160 that we have no real control or say over. We 58 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.920 didn't ask for the world to be this way, and 59 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.920 now that we're in it, we have very little recourse 60 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.519 in changing it. Because it's a giant behemoth that's running 61 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.120 on its own energy, and it has its own agendas, 62 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.439 and it does its own thing, and that can be 63 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.199 quite frustrating and difficult. It can be disempowering to know 64 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.040 that it is a reality. It is a truth that 65 00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:00.959 we live in a world like that giant artificial machine 66 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.439 that has its way with us. And we like to 67 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.800 pretend like we're in control, but we're not. But I 68 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:18.800 think actual freedom and actual self actualization and anything valuable, 69 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.920 any little bit of anything valuable we can actually take. 70 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:28.079 I think starts with surrendering to the fact that this 71 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.680 whole thing is out of control. It is above and 72 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.399 beyond us. We are within it. It dictates a lot 73 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.680 of our life. However, we can go outside of it 74 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:48.040 and beyond it to to our own ends, to our 75 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.680 own purposes, in our own lives. We can do certain things, 76 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:58.480 and we can we can have a meaningful existence in 77 00:05:58.519 --> 00:05:59.279 the midst of this. 78 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.360 And maybe. 79 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.839 Have fun and the knowledge of knowing how crazy everything 80 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:13.319 is and making the absurd decision not to take everything 81 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:18.720 so seriously all the time, learning to let go so 82 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.959 just of so many different things that we just can't control. 83 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:30.439 It's okay, It's all right. Easier said than done, though, right, 84 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.519 And I'm here talking a big game, and I don't. 85 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:35.839 This. 86 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.319 This is everybody's battle. We're all in the same boat. 87 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.720 We're all dealing with the same things. So there is, 88 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.120 there is, and there can be a sense of solidarity, 89 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.839 I think, in the human condition itself, and that we 90 00:06:53.879 --> 00:07:00.560 do still retain that we are still basic, basically the 91 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:09.560 same biological organisms, human beings, living out finite short lives, 92 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.000 relatively short, but relatively long. It is a very extremely 93 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:20.720 relative thing. Our entire existence and time. One way you 94 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.480 look at it, we are. The amount of time we 95 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.399 spend here is absolutely nothing. If you go from the 96 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:33.000 macrocosmic view and you go outwards and look in. If 97 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.199 you go the further, you go out and look in 98 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.519 toward the earth and at us, you see how tiny 99 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.000 and how short, and how we are really a piece 100 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.680 of nothing in that grand scheme of things. However, you 101 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:57.920 can go the opposite direction, in the same abstract, ethereal 102 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:04.959 immaterial space that is our own minds and our own 103 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.879 conscious awareness. You can go the other direction inside and 104 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:14.000 you can see even the workings of your mind, your psyche, 105 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:21.319 your soul or whatever, right, whatever, however we want to 106 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:27.759 describe what that identity of our inner selves is, it's 107 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:32.080 definitely there. It's definitely a real thing, and what it 108 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:39.039 is able to do the sorts of you know, the 109 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.559 the attainment of an epiphany. I hope you've all experienced 110 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:49.000 this at some point in your life, hopefully several and 111 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.960 many times in your life you've had this happen. A 112 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:59.440 life without such experience would be a life not ourselving. 113 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:03.919 But such is the sort of thing that I think 114 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:12.960 is constantly being stolen from us. But anyway, the attainment 115 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.879 of such things gives you the realization that within an instant, 116 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:32.200 time loses meaning, and realizations made by your individual conscious 117 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:37.080 aware of self can have ramifications that are so far 118 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:44.840 reaching that you've attained something that transcends time, something that's 119 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:47.360 a permanent. 120 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:53.679 Truth. Right, So the attainment of. 121 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:58.600 That, when you pull that sort of thing off, you 122 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:08.159 realize you have interesting epiphanies about the human experience. Once again, 123 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.840 going all the way within, all the way within, all 124 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.799 the way without are useful. I think it's also useful 125 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.639 an epiphany to be had to see how short and 126 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:25.639 how insignificant we are. But simultaneously, how in the matter 127 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:31.440 of one second you can experience an eternity. These are 128 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.080 things that we're able to do. Meanwhile, our focus has 129 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.919 been redirected, as I was saying earlier, to more important things, 130 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.480 the daily business of living life. Whatever that even means anymore, 131 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.799 it doesn't really mean much of anything. The meaning of 132 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.399 our lives has been stripped away from us so many fronts, 133 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:04.039 these sorts of things. Our attention has been. What we 134 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:14.120 have given attention to is usually inconsequential, but blown up 135 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.320 into such a big deal that we're supposed to think 136 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:24.559 it means everything. And so with that little preface, I 137 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.159 will return to a subject I talked about on the 138 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:35.120 last show, being this election that we're in twenty twenty 139 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.720 four presidential election. But it's there's other elections going on. 140 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:42.960 I hope you've done your research on the local propositions 141 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:47.600 that you may be voting on this time around. 142 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.879 So and there was. 143 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.080 A point that I think I made last week, but 144 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.440 maybe I didn't. So I'm going to return to It 145 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:02.799 is that con that has been drilled into our heads 146 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:08.159 that this is the last election that America is going 147 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:08.440 to have. 148 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:12.000 This is the end of the. 149 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:18.120 Democratic process of voting as we know it. That general 150 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.679 concept has been put out across all channels from what 151 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.559 I gather, every It doesn't matter what your political persuasion is, 152 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:33.799 you have been told this by the appropriate authorities. They 153 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.679 have told you that this is the case. So my 154 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:44.720 guess is that you're in agreement with this general statement. 155 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.120 Now that's not to say that you can't spin that 156 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:55.519 general sentiment in any which direction into whatever your political 157 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.759 pre elections happen to be. Just insert those onto that 158 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:04.360 general idea. That's how things work here, that's how our 159 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:09.080 democracy has worked for so long. Is in the cynical 160 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.480 way is that you just played to the political base 161 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.759 of these two parties. But even that is starting to 162 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:19.600 fall apart, right, So the world that we knew, that 163 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.919 so many took for granted is beginning to crumble tear 164 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:31.759 part if the seems right, and everybody's freaking out about this. 165 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.000 Everybody's upset about this. 166 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.159 I'm not saying it's illegitimate that the freaking out over 167 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.440 these things happening. And regular listeners to the show know 168 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:47.799 that I take seriously what's happening here in the country 169 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.639 and the world, and yes, with this election, I do 170 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:58.759 think it is consequential, but it's it's pretty wild to 171 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.200 see just this general idea that this is the last election, 172 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:10.519 that the voting system is broken one way or another, 173 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.960 and we're seeing all sorts of interesting examples of that 174 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:23.480 concept coming in now it is beginning to become common 175 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:32.960 knowledge that that we're in for trouble here on November fifth. 176 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.320 I think we all realized that November fifth is going 177 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.840 to come. The results are going to come in. Somebody's 178 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.679 going to be cleared the official winner, right, one of 179 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.720 the two of them. One of them is going to 180 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.240 be the official winner. But at that point the election 181 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:53.240 clearly is not over because there will be contention from 182 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.679 the other side saying, hey, look, this election wasn't fair 183 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:05.679 because and then in certain the reasons given whoever the candidate, 184 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:13.320 whoever the candidates are a winner and loser. It's pretty 185 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:19.840 crazy to think. It's pretty wild, and yeah, it's going 186 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.759 to be a mess. My gosh, it's going to be 187 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:28.879 a mess, So get ready for that. It's a foregone 188 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.519 conclusion as far as I'm concerned, that that is going 189 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.799 to be the outcome, but how that plays out will 190 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:41.639 be interesting, will be significant. I'll say once again, I'm 191 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.519 not trying to downplay any of this. I think this 192 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.679 is all serious, and even with my preface at the 193 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.759 beginning that this is all just a bunch of bs 194 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.639 that we're forced to live through which ultimately is the truth. 195 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.399 We're still we're still being put through the ringer on 196 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:01.039 this one, and it's does not bode well for our 197 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:09.960 collective future for sure. So we'll just see how that goes. 198 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.000 But certainly, those of us who have been around the 199 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:21.120 block for a while now and have been looking into 200 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:28.480 the different corners of hidden knowledge that we're not supposed 201 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:32.320 to be looking at, none of this should come as 202 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.960 a surprise like a Stone election. Yes, of course, you know, 203 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:37.279 that's a whole lot of so wet. It's a whole 204 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.799 lot of shrugging the shoulders. A corrupt system, Yes, we've 205 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.120 had one for quite some time. 206 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.039 Is it getting worse? Of course it is. 207 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.759 It's designed to be that way, these sorts of concepts. 208 00:16:52.480 --> 00:17:00.159 It is significant that that general sentiment is no longer fringe, 209 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.799 but rather mainstream. I would say that that is actually true. 210 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:10.839 That's just this discontent for the system, the American system, 211 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:18.200 political system, social economic reality that we're dealing with here 212 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:23.319 in our country. Nobody's happy with it, and there's very 213 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:31.799 real reasons as to why that is now taking a 214 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:38.319 step back once again, it's important to realize that the 215 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.519 not that complicated reasons as to what's going on here, 216 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:55.359 are often obscured by all this window dressing once again 217 00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:01.759 from the multitude of propaganda campaigns that are just barraging 218 00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:06.880 us now. So no one should be faulted for having 219 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.200 difficulty in the face of all this and for being misled. 220 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.720 We all have been misled over and over time and 221 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:18.480 again happens to every single one of us. And once again, 222 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:32.799 the cognitive dissonance or just the general lethargy that ensues 223 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.400 after pursuing all these false avenues, it just gets to 224 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.000 you and it wears you down. So the average person 225 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.720 very much is worn down by a system that is 226 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:49.759 not clearly is not crafted for their benefit to help them. 227 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:56.480 That's glaringly obvious. Nothing is simply given to us, that's 228 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:01.079 for sure, any of us. And it's a struggle just 229 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:06.559 to maintain the basic, a basic living, a basic, basic 230 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.799 survival of getting by day to day gets more and 231 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:15.640 more difficult for all the wrong reasons. And the basic 232 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:21.640 breakdown is that those who own true wealth and true 233 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:27.920 resources hoard those things they do not share it. There's 234 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:32.799 no such thing as trickle down economics or anything like that. 235 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.839 That does not occur. What happens is when people get anything, 236 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.440 they hold onto it for dear life. They keep it 237 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:47.480 for themselves. They do not let go, and they seek 238 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:55.640 greater power, greater influence, greater wealth. So not only do 239 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.839 they start out with so much, they attain more and 240 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:02.519 more and more, until a tiny dominant minority does basically 241 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.880 own all of the real resources. They own everything. There's 242 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.079 nothing left for anybody else except for this little system 243 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:12.079 that's been crafted for. 244 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:12.559 Us to. 245 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:19.400 Get by within that exists for the benefit of those 246 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:24.599 who own the whole thing. I mean, that's basically just 247 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:32.319 what's happening. And the government exists as a an administrative 248 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.759 apparatus that is essentially controlled by these same people. Because 249 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.319 you have that money influenced power, you use it to 250 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:51.039 just buy favor from that administrative entity that we call government. Right, 251 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:57.680 that's how the basic breakdown. I mean, it's not complicated, 252 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:03.519 it's not fancy. That's what's happening. We could get lost 253 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:08.839 in the weeds and complaining about this or that, and 254 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:13.079 we could believe the stupid propaganda campaigns that we've been 255 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:20.920 intellectually killed with, intellectually wounded to the point where we 256 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:27.079 think the battle is here on the ground. New Civil 257 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:31.680 War style, brother against brother. We're fighting each other here 258 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:39.039 in the trenches, right, So we at the bottom level 259 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.359 of society, which is pretty much everybody except for a 260 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.240 tiny handful of people or on the other side of 261 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:46.440 this thing. But the rest of us are all here 262 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:51.079 fighting each other because we've been made to believe that's 263 00:21:52.680 --> 00:22:08.359 that's how we change things. And I mean this proves 264 00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:15.440 itself true time and time again. And this isn't to say, 265 00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:22.000 going back to the election, that separate candidates do not 266 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:28.319 represent differing interests. They do different power interests. Yes, different 267 00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:32.240 investors come along and invest in one side and the other. 268 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.160 Then they have. 269 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.680 Specific business reasons for doing so, that's what they're doing. 270 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:44.000 They want more control over the entirety of the system 271 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.640 than they already have. They can attain that by putting 272 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:55.480 their preferred executive in place in the government. It's like, 273 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.240 if we buy this guy off, he's going to do 274 00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:01.839 what we want him to do, and not just him, 275 00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:05.680 but it's an entire administration you're buying, right, an entire package, 276 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:11.000 entire plan, oftentimes the details of which are written out 277 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:18.119 by fancy NGO's foundations. They tell you what they're going 278 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.039 to do, they tell you the plan. It's like, we're 279 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.720 going to do this, this, this, and this, and oftentimes 280 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:30.400 the plan involves using members of the serfdom like us, 281 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.960 exploiting us. But it doesn't say it will exploit us. 282 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.240 It always says that it will free us in some 283 00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.680 way or another, or that it's going to give us. 284 00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:42.599 We're somehow going to gain advantage. We're going to be 285 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:46.240 able to get fancy jobs in the government. Now, Hey, 286 00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:50.200 are you a dim wit? Did you not even get 287 00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:55.759 a ged? Great, We're going to give you a really 288 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.359 fancy high position in government now because all those positions 289 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:05.079 that used to require a college degree don't anymore, and 290 00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.319 we won't have the problem that is a bunch of 291 00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.759 educated idiots running the country anymore. 292 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.079 Boy, I feel better about things now. I'm not here. 293 00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.519 I'm not here lauding. 294 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.039 The success of academia. 295 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:28.240 I'm not here. 296 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:33.279 There's no good side to take in this. I completely 297 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.799 understand the grievance of the working class. I understand it, 298 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:44.039 I get and I live within it. I know it, 299 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:49.599 I have heard and I understand why people feel the 300 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:53.880 way to do people on the low, low level, how 301 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.720 they do have grievance, how they do believe that educated 302 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.599 people are just morons and they're not always wrong about then. 303 00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:05.160 There is there are elements of truth in then, but 304 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:15.119 there's also there's also something to be said for the 305 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:22.920 anti intellectual strain within Certainly, let's just let's just say 306 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.279 the one side has a very anti intellectual strength to it. 307 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:31.119 And we're talking about the Donald Trump campaign, right. His 308 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:37.720 target is not the intelligencia, it's not the college educated, right, 309 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.200 And we've read, we've all read news stories about this 310 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.359 that people with a college degree are going to vote 311 00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:47.920 for Kamala Harris, people who don't have a college degree 312 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.759 are going to vote for Donald Trump. And now we're 313 00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:54.359 just falling into that same old stupid So you look, 314 00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.960 we're just falling into the mold that we're supposed to. 315 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.720 We're just going along to get along. And it's the 316 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.480 status quo. 317 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:09.519 It's this weird, bizarre status quo that once again, nobody 318 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.599 asked for this, nobody wants it really to be this way, 319 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:16.200 and yet somehow it ends up being this way, and 320 00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:19.920 we all reiterate this and make it true. We all 321 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.880 make this the truth because it objectively becomes reality. 322 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:26.000 Yes, it is true. 323 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.519 If you have a college degree, you're probably have a 324 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:33.559 vote for Kamala Harris and vice versa. It's pretty crazy 325 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:39.279 that this ends up being like this, and that they're 326 00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:47.160 all these like all these roles we've been given to 327 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:56.640 play in the world. And I think I think that 328 00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.480 a lot of the frustrations in the midst of all 329 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:05.200 this common from the fact that everybody knows that we're 330 00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.799 all kind of like playing along and playing a game, 331 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.880 and that none of this is really none of this 332 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:16.319 has to be the way that it is right, and 333 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:19.119 so we're all kind of hoping we can vote it away. 334 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.359 It's like, nobody likes this, nobody wants this situation the 335 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.079 way it is, although it persists. 336 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.200 Maybe I can vote it away. 337 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.400 By you know, putting my person in there, and then 338 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.200 it never ends up happening. But we have gotten to 339 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:38.400 the point where we're so sick of this whole thing 340 00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.920 that I think people are welcoming the concept of, yes, 341 00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:46.160 let's end democracy, Yes let's end voting, let's end all 342 00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:50.640 of this, because clearly the corruption has run so deep 343 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.400 that yes, there is there is no longer integrity in 344 00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:58.240 the electoral process because of you know, read all the 345 00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:00.960 news stories. There's so many that can attest to this. 346 00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:05.039 You pick the ones that you like and read this. Okay, 347 00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:06.680 I'm not gonna tell you which ones to read. You 348 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:09.640 just read the ones you like. But just know that 349 00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:14.640 what I'm saying is the general truth. Right boy, I'm 350 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:17.799 probably building up a really big audience on the show tonight. 351 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:20.480 I'm being so ambiguous. I'm not taking any sides. 352 00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.039 You like this. 353 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.000 Either that or I'm driving everybody away because I'm not 354 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:31.799 going to their side explicitly. I'm actually probably losing even 355 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:34.960 more people than what I already had, which is I 356 00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.960 don't know how many people are listening it. It doesn't matter. 357 00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:49.279 It does not matter, because the whole point, once again, 358 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:56.200 I think, can be taken by zooming out, seeing. 359 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.880 That we are. 360 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:13.640 A large group of people living in a expanded collective 361 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:18.559 social agreement. 362 00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:21.039 Be that. 363 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:30.680 Local city, county, state, nation, or even the world. Because 364 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.440 the world all interacts, it all interact with one another 365 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:39.039 globally on a global scale. Now at this point, so 366 00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:50.079 things have been expanded from natural human gatherings pre industrial civilization. 367 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:58.359 So things have changed a lot in a relatively short 368 00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:03.680 amount of time. Relatively a couple hundred years is a 369 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.720 very short time. You look at what's happened in a 370 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:13.319 couple hundred years. It's a whole lot that is not insignificant. 371 00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:21.799 And we could look at this in a similar way 372 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.240 that Ray Kurtzwell and his singularity scenario with the Bell curve. 373 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.839 The singularities got hit because this Bell curve, exponential growth 374 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.079 in computing power is going to make it so that 375 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.440 agi just emerges out of that as a consequence, because 376 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:39.599 computing is so strong, we'll just be able to, you know, 377 00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:44.839 just kind of consciousness will emerge out of the machine 378 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:50.440 even without even effort. Almost is kind of the idea there. 379 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.440 But in a similar fashion, similar alchemical fashion, the Bell 380 00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:03.599 curve exists on a human, social and political scale, economic do. 381 00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:05.880 In that. 382 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:14.400 These changes you can place them on a Bell curve. 383 00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.880 And we have reached a point where perhaps we have 384 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:23.680 reached It's hard to look at a given point and 385 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.559 say where it is that we've escaped into or we've 386 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:32.440 reached escape velocity? Right when did things really get out 387 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.839 of control? What point in history is the marker? And 388 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.079 once again on the last show, I was said about 389 00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:42.960 marker points of history and how when you're in them 390 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.160 they go unnoticed, but then in hindsight you see them, 391 00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.440 and we're starting to get hindsight for various things that 392 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:55.039 happened in our lives, I believe, and the marker posts 393 00:31:55.079 --> 00:32:00.720 of history are becoming apparent now, which is always kind 394 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.400 of fascinating to look back on them. But we do 395 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.319 have to be very aware in this moment as we're 396 00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:12.119 living out perhaps more and more markers going by faster 397 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:14.839 and faster, were talking about this bell curve sort of thing. 398 00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:16.759 Is that? 399 00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:26.279 What is that? What's happening is human society changing at 400 00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:34.119 an ever more rapid pace. What does that mean? What 401 00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:38.160 is this strange artificial world we have created? How much 402 00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.079 has it gotten out of our control? Because as much 403 00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:47.079 as I said, there are absolutely stakeholders invested in this 404 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:52.119 thing that are the beneficiaries of this. Absolutely we have 405 00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:54.759 to remember that, and we should be pointing at them 406 00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:59.000 more often than we do, and we should be holding 407 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:02.640 them to account, which they never are, which is an 408 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:09.279 absolute shame, utterly ridiculous how we allow this and how 409 00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:14.079 we continue to just beat up each other. But at 410 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:22.960 the same time, even those who do exercise outsized influence 411 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:28.119 and who have way too much, even they do not 412 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:32.440 maintain complete control over everything because the way that they 413 00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:38.000 got there is by manipulating some artificial aspect of this 414 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:41.920 entire system to begin with. You can come up with 415 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:46.319 any sort of clever way to accrue wealth, money, and 416 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:53.880 all that. That's not necessarily even doing anything. It seems 417 00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:58.519 like the further we go, the less and less the 418 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:03.000 importance on actually producing some sort of physical product or 419 00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:09.679 actually even doing anything is important and more. What gains 420 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:14.519 greater prominence is this same thing we can see with financialization, 421 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.199 in that if you can just come up with some 422 00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:23.440 scheme to put more more numbers into your bank account, 423 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.519 that's all you really have to do. So it's just 424 00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:32.880 about like gaming things, gaming the system itself in order 425 00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:38.960 to accrue assets, and those assets are even becoming more 426 00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:50.320 and more abstract as we go into virtual life the living, 427 00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:56.079 but not just using the phones, and we're constantly looking 428 00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.920 at the screens. We're always on social media, we're always 429 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:07.440 playing games, we're always online. That reality, there's so much 430 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.360 to take from that. Yes, we are doing that more 431 00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:14.960 and more often, But what does that mean? Where are we? 432 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:17.480 Where do we exist? Where is our mind? Where is 433 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:25.000 our conscious awareness? What space does it inhabit? It inhabits 434 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:30.280 a virtual space? Maybe more often than not. And maybe 435 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.119 that's the point of no return, is if you could 436 00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:36.719 actually point to a moment in time where when was 437 00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:43.119 it where people actually started spending more time inside these 438 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:48.400 virtual spaces, be that like eyes looking at a screen 439 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:54.760 as opposed to your face turned away from a screen, 440 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.960 or you know, virtual interface of any sort, and just 441 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:03.039 you're out and about in the physical world, just walking 442 00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:08.599 around as humans have walked around in this world since 443 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.519 as long as we've been here. What point did that happen? 444 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:21.800 And I know we could sit here and say you're looking, 445 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.239 you're pointing the finger in the wrong direction. There's nothing 446 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:29.800 inherently wrong with technology. There's nothing wrong with us indulging 447 00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.800 in these technologies, and we all do it. I certainly 448 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.599 do as much as anybody. Not trying to act like 449 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:40.360 I'm immune to this. Quite the opposite. I'm a part 450 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:44.800 of this. We're all in this together, and once again, 451 00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.360 solidarity there it is. There's another thing that we can 452 00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:52.519 kind of take away that maybe can we can rally 453 00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:58.400 with each other and get some sort of good positive 454 00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:03.440 energy for once once again the solidarity of our shared 455 00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:09.440 oppression and depression in this artificial hellscape that we've all 456 00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:18.760 done so much to create, to maintain, and to push further, 457 00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:28.920 push the balance further and higher and greater. And that 458 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:34.519 is the main event that Godfrey Reggio spoke about when 459 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:42.760 he was talking about Quiana Scatzi. The main event is 460 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.599 that thing which those of us who are living in 461 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:50.800 it never even notice that we're but part of We're 462 00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.880 all a part of this thing, and somehow it escapes 463 00:37:53.960 --> 00:38:00.519 conscious awareness time and time again, it just continues to grow, 464 00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:06.440 and there's no end of scapegoats and false narratives to chase, 465 00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:14.320 little flights of fancy, like we can retreat into the past, 466 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:21.440 into these fictitious concepts of the past, fictitious concepts of 467 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:27.440 the present, where we can overlay and yes, very much 468 00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:29.559 scapegoat a group. 469 00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:33.039 It's nice to scapegoat people. 470 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:37.079 We love to escapeging other people typically, but it doesn't 471 00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.679 have to be that can be situations and things, and 472 00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:44.360 that's a big part of what politics is, the grievance politics. 473 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:47.960 It's like, oh, there's no jobs anywhere, it's because of 474 00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:53.199 all the immigrants coming in. They're taking them, and you know, 475 00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.400 so just blame it on somebody else that may not 476 00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:04.599 even be there, and it's probably a problem that the 477 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:09.559 problems the way that we view our problems. Certainly in 478 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:16.719 the political realm, we're always told how to view what 479 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:19.599 the problem is. It is like, you don't have a job. 480 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:25.760 That's a problem. You don't have a job because the 481 00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:30.000 liberals carded a bunch of migrants from every evil country 482 00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:33.079 in the world and their criminals. 483 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:35.400 And they're here now and they're. 484 00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:42.920 All transgender murderers and they took your job. Meanwhile, there's 485 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.400 tons of jobs that you could have, but you don't 486 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.760 have one because you don't want to have one. You 487 00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:54.440 could be employed somewhere. And truth be told, too, a 488 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.599 lot of people are getting pickier and pickier, and this 489 00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.800 is another way to kind of frame things and blame 490 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.559 the victim too. It's like, oh, all these worthless losers 491 00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:06.039 aren't going out there and getting jobs because they're lazy. 492 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.000 And who are these idiots that are lazy? It's always 493 00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:12.360 the younger generation. There are always a bunch of lazy 494 00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.880 morons that are stupid. The future's gone because they're idiots. 495 00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:19.800 They're the ones looking at the screens, they're the ones 496 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:24.760 watching the brain rot content online. It's all their fault. 497 00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:27.719 They're stupid. The future's gone because of them. They can't 498 00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:33.079 even work, they don't know how to make a resume. Meanwhile, 499 00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:38.280 whose children are they? First of all. Second of all, 500 00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:42.559 you're looking at this. You've been told how to look 501 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:47.519 at this, and you're looking at this tiny little You've 502 00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:52.159 got blinders on, and you've been told what to think, 503 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.559 what to say, what to see, how to see it. 504 00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.400 You've been told who to blame, who to hate, who 505 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:05.760 to be scared of. Meanwhile, you're never given any actual 506 00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:11.719 solutions or ways to empower yourself, or actual alternatives to 507 00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:20.840 this giant mess that we've all fed into. We never 508 00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.519 do that. We just keep buying into the same stuff 509 00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:29.880 that we love because we like to be lied to. 510 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.440 We like uh being told what to think. We like hating. 511 00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:37.960 We love to hate. We love hating people. We love 512 00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:45.440 hating uh countries. We love hating ideas. We we love 513 00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:50.199 hating religions. We love having our own religion and then 514 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:57.760 hating other ones. That's fun. That's a standby. We we 515 00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:01.000 just love all of that. Anything that feels bad, it's 516 00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:01.519 just great. 517 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:08.239 And I don't know, it's just. 518 00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:18.199 The real problems continue to elude us. This giant story 519 00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:25.360 continues to play itself out. I think we all really 520 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:28.840 do know better, which is the odd thing about this. 521 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:33.800 I think unconsciously we all know the truth, but we 522 00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:36.079 could just keep playing along with so many of the 523 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.960 convenient lies that are so fun to tell. 524 00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:43.320 That we just keep going with it. 525 00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:51.440 And once you know it, this digital, virtual, artificial space 526 00:42:52.519 --> 00:43:00.679 seems not only to nurture, but to breed the very 527 00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:10.599 sorts of divisive ideologies, propaganda weaponry that's used to further 528 00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:11.639 enslave us and. 529 00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:12.920 Push us into this thing. 530 00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:19.360 If you look at everybody who's out there complaining and yelling, 531 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:21.599 and they're like, ah, they have all the answers, they 532 00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:24.119 know all the problems, they have all the scapegoats and 533 00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:27.239 lined up and in order, even like this is number 534 00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.079 one scapegoat, This is number two scapegoat, This is number 535 00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:33.320 three that orders importance. This is the leader's scapegoat. This 536 00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:35.639 is the one who answers them. These are the ones 537 00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.400 that come after that. These are all the soldiers at 538 00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:40.599 the bottom that are doing the work that you're going 539 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:45.199 to have to fight against in the war. You ever 540 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:50.239 notice the people that know all about that are the 541 00:43:50.320 --> 00:44:04.840 ones that clearly are fashioning their air quotes opinions by 542 00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:14.440 just looking at analytics and making making attention grabbing material 543 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:21.079 for its own sake, making things just for the sake 544 00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:25.840 of getting attention. What gets attention? Yelling and making people 545 00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:34.159 mad and getting people angry, being divisive, what gets engagement? 546 00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:36.719 How do you engage people? You get them angry at 547 00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:45.719 you as one way to engage. Forgive me, I was 548 00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:46.840 just plugging something in. 549 00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:52.000 Isn't that apropos But it doesn't take a lot of 550 00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:53.400 insight to see. 551 00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:55.599 That the people that are doing this the most are 552 00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:59.920 just like digging into the analytics and seeing what Google's 553 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:03.800 hold them that people clicked on the most. That's what's 554 00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:15.599 informing their decisions on their performative outrage. That's what thrives 555 00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:23.079 in this bizarre false reality that we're living in. That's 556 00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:26.599 on the political end of things. Of course, there is 557 00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:34.320 the more superficial, superfluous, purely entertainment value fluff that exists 558 00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:38.000 in the same sort of vein, in that it has 559 00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:43.920 just become clickbait. So any sort of entertainment even that 560 00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:48.199 we seek as an escape to just relax and enjoy ourselves, 561 00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.239 like I'm going to watch this silly video or I'm 562 00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:57.480 going to watch a documentary on my favorite online video platform. 563 00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:01.639 I'm going to watch this creator they the video blog, 564 00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:04.960 and I like it. A lot of the stuff that 565 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.519 used to be there that was it seems like it 566 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:11.039 becomes less and less substantive as time goes on, the 567 00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:14.519 more and more just clickbait because that's what the platform, 568 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:24.360 that's what the medium turns out. And this is algorithmically 569 00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.800 driven as well. We have to realize, so the engineering 570 00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:35.800 technological aspect of this is always. 571 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:39.519 At the forefront, or should be. 572 00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:44.079 We should realize it is the data science, the analytics, 573 00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:52.920 the algorithms, the systems, the computer systems, the logic. 574 00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:59.599 Of the machine or lack thereof. 575 00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:09.039 It's not necessarily a human logic, however, it is humans. 576 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:12.960 So it's a weird biofeedback thing. It's it's a it's 577 00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:22.920 a back and forth between the weird technological UH space 578 00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:26.159 and the way that it at, the operating system of 579 00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:31.599 that and those that are existing within it, the biological 580 00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:37.119 creatures that are inputting and using this thing, making building 581 00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:41.960 the content within it, interacting with it, interacting with each 582 00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:50.760 other through the interface that is the digital technologies. So 583 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:56.760 it's it's this weird back and forth relationship between man 584 00:47:56.840 --> 00:48:01.239 and the machine. It might even be a romance and 585 00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.480 make a romance novel, a science fiction romance novelt of 586 00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:09.039 this whole thing. A few people already have. There's been 587 00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:13.679 some pretty insightful pieces of fiction that have played to this. 588 00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:19.000 Blade Runner twenty forty nine comes to mind. This is 589 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:29.119 an excellent movie. But so there is such a thing 590 00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.199 as art that still exists. There is such a thing 591 00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:36.719 as being able to have insight and understanding as to 592 00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:41.119 actual truth of what's truly going on beyond just the 593 00:48:41.239 --> 00:48:48.239 nonsense that we're expected to take part in. Don't have 594 00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:52.000 to only be about that, So there's the good thing. 595 00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:55.239 Doesn't only have to be that. We don't only have 596 00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:58.360 to worry about what we're told to worry about. So 597 00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:01.800 I'm going to try not to do that. To do 598 00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:07.239 my best on this show. It's a herculean task for 599 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.000 all of us. It's a big challenge. 600 00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:09.679 It's a big. 601 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:13.400 Challenge in our day and age. Those of us that 602 00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:17.159 are up to the task, I hope that we have 603 00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:20.440 it in us to do our best in the face 604 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:25.039 of this thing. Because we've got we'orthy adversary in front 605 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:30.960 of us, and that adversary is, to a great extent, 606 00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:32.000 just ourselves. 607 00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:33.039 Ourselves. 608 00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:43.199 We are fighting ourselves in every sense of it. So 609 00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:48.519 I hope that you can take heart and find ways 610 00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:51.280 to move ahead as you. 611 00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:55.679 Will within all this. I hope you know who you're 612 00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:56.280 voting for. 613 00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:00.480 I hope, I hope you're ready for the outcome, which is, 614 00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:05.519 once I said, a foregone conclusion. I don't know exactly 615 00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:07.639 how that's gonna all pan out, but it's gonna be 616 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:11.119 wild and crazy, so be ready for that. It could 617 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:17.159 be fun. Just make it enjoyable as much as much 618 00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:19.280 as that can be, which it will not be, but 619 00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:27.280 you know, just make the most of it, Okay, make 620 00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:30.760 the most of it. We'll do what we can do here. 621 00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:38.039 This is the age of transitions. After all, we are 622 00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:44.360 in it. There's no way out, and do keep listening 623 00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:46.679 to the show. It's been a long time since I've 624 00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:50.840 had a guest, but I will have more. I'm actually 625 00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:56.599 supposed to interview somebody this weekend, so as long as 626 00:50:56.599 --> 00:50:59.599 everything goes according to plan, I will have a new interview. 627 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:01.599 At least is totally I'll be able to play that 628 00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:04.519 on the next week's show. I'll record it and then 629 00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:07.000 play it on the show is what I'm planning to do. 630 00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:10.719 We'll see how that works out. I have to work 631 00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:16.280 on my social skills and also find it within myself 632 00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:19.039 to try to find somebody I actually want to talk to. 633 00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:21.360 It seems like there's less than less people like that, 634 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:24.679 at least in this digital space. When I exist in 635 00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:27.559 the day to day actual life, where I'm walking around 636 00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:29.199 in the world and doing normal. 637 00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:31.880 Everyday things, I usually like everybody. 638 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:34.559 And even the people I don't particularly like, I always 639 00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:37.320 understand their shortcomings. So I'm like, Okay, this person is 640 00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:43.159 annoying or their pain or I really don't particularly even 641 00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:48.360 like them. However I can understand. I try to understand 642 00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:51.159 what their motivations might be, and of course I don't 643 00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:53.679 know all of them, but generally speaking, I'm like, Okay, 644 00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:56.440 I think I see where they're coming from. The annoying 645 00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:57.840 things that they do, I can. 646 00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:00.000 See why they may be doing it. 647 00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:04.360 Then there could be some virtuous angles as to why 648 00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:08.039 they've probably made what seemed to be the wrong decision 649 00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:13.559 so many times, But I can't truly dislike or be 650 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:16.400 mad at them. That's most people I feel that about that, 651 00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:19.239 and actually most people I actually just like straight out 652 00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:22.000 it's like, oh yeah, this person's cool, and like maybe 653 00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.760 they've got some idiosynchronic behavior even where they you know, 654 00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:31.000 like the crusty person that's like always grumpy, that's kind 655 00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:32.159 of endearing, right. 656 00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:36.119 It's like you would think that they're going out their. 657 00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.920 Way to not be liked, but then that actually ends 658 00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:42.880 up being like this quality that endears them to you. 659 00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:48.559 It's like, oh yeah, that that old grump. What a 660 00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:49.880 what a cool person? 661 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:50.559 You know. 662 00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:54.519 Also that So that's actual life. 663 00:52:56.239 --> 00:53:02.360 But here, when we become avatars in the virtual world, 664 00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:07.199 it's a whole nother ballgame where we become disembodied. 665 00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:11.400 And we become. 666 00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:17.360 These personas which very much are easy to hate, and 667 00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:23.199 the hateful aspects of these things we amplify due to 668 00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:30.920 the space that we're existing, and it amplifies the dark 669 00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:39.039 side of us, seems to which might be noteworthy. We 670 00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:43.440 might want to pay attention to that, or we could 671 00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:46.519 just keep going on living in this thing till we 672 00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:48.800 don't have any other option to even live in an 673 00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:52.440 actual physical world anymore, and see how that all works 674 00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:57.280 out for us. So we have options, that's what's exciting. 675 00:53:57.360 --> 00:54:00.880 We can we can choose our future. The real election 676 00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:05.400 going on, What do we elect to do with ourselves? 677 00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:10.599 How do we where do we put our energies? Where 678 00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:13.079 do we put our attention? Once again, do we choose 679 00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.639 to pay attention to all the things we're told to 680 00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:22.400 pay attention to, or do we go our own way? 681 00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:27.280 I think it is possible to do that. We have 682 00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.679 to remember that we're in this greater scheme of things 683 00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:33.840 and do what we can within that. But we do 684 00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:42.400 have to also understand our strengths and see what we're 685 00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:44.119 able to do and where we're able to do it, 686 00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:51.880 what gets us the most bang for our buck, where 687 00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.360 we don't even have to use bucks. Those are nice 688 00:54:55.400 --> 00:55:03.159 places to We're out there, let's see here. So yes, 689 00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:07.639 look forward to hopefully some interviews that I'll have again. 690 00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:10.800 I'll try to be nicer and I'll try to be 691 00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:19.760 more sociable and cordial and not despise everybody. See I'm 692 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:24.840 a victim of this too, I was saying that. But 693 00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:28.639 I'll find people, I will talk to them. I will 694 00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:33.000 put on this show. Hopefully it'll be pretty interesting. There's 695 00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:37.239 some pretty interesting characters out there, so look forward to that. 696 00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:42.840 On upcoming episodes of the Age of Transitions podcast, We're 697 00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.320 also a live radio show on the Oceli Radio Network 698 00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:48.559 Friday nights. Perhaps you're listening just right now as I 699 00:55:48.639 --> 00:55:55.000 record this Friday, October eighteen, twenty twenty four. It's a 700 00:55:55.079 --> 00:56:01.920 time in space. It's pleading it to continue, the ever 701 00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:04.880 flowing river of time. It's exciting to be on float 702 00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:08.880 downstream to wherever this takes us. Hopefully we don't pollute 703 00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:13.840 the river too much as we're floating. That would be 704 00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:17.079 a useful thing to try to consciously do as well, 705 00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:21.199 pollute less. I think we have it in us to 706 00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:24.440 do that. Make that choice. There might be better ways 707 00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:28.480 of doing things, Clearly there are, we just have to 708 00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:34.000 make the choice to want to do them. So many 709 00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:41.039 obvious answers that just never got pursued. It's a strange, 710 00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:45.199 strange world when we live our lives this way. Just 711 00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:49.159 keep doing things that we know aren't right. So hopefully 712 00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:51.519 we can do less of that and do more of 713 00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:55.960 doing the things that we know are right. So with 714 00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:00.199 that in mind, I'm coming to the end of the show. Oh, 715 00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:02.760 of course, this being the Chili Radio Network on a 716 00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:05.639 Friday night, you know that the Uncle Show is coming up, 717 00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:08.960 so do continue to listen. You can call into that, 718 00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:11.360 So get your phone ready to call in. It's gonna 719 00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:16.000 be fun.

It shows why it 753 01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:39.519 really failed and why the United States did not learn 754 01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:42.519 from it.

We're live on the Chili Range. 806 01:03:32.519 --> 01:03:34.719 The Mets. The Mets took a beating the one Night 807 01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:35.400 though eight. 808 01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:39.000 Yeah, no, I know, I know they read it two. 809 01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:42.639 But I am feeling that they got a push to 810 01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:44.280 come back. I think they would do it. 811 01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:45.000 Well. 812 01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:47.599 I'll tell you I stopped watching the other night and 813 01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:50.000 I was like, after I watched the eight nothing blowout, 814 01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:52.559 then I saw mosing like five nothing, and I said, 815 01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:55.440 you know what, I'm done watching. I almost feel like 816 01:03:55.559 --> 01:03:56.679 I was causing a curse. 817 01:03:56.960 --> 01:04:02.039 You know. I was thinking the same thing, being I'm. 818 01:04:01.719 --> 01:04:04.920 Doing it with my picks. And that's why I'm not 819 01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:10.519 in football. I'm not looking at it. I know what's happening. 820 01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:14.360 I'm right now head by a game. But that would 821 01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:18.880 because the Thursday game. But I'm saying to myself, if 822 01:04:18.920 --> 01:04:22.239 I'm watching these games, I'm going to lose. So what 823 01:04:22.280 --> 01:04:25.519 I'm gonna do is not even watch me watch it 824 01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:27.360 and see what happened. 825 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.559 He's the solution there. Just stop watching and then just and. 826 01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:34.039 I do the same thing now, Jimmy, Jimmy incorrectly told 827 01:04:34.039 --> 01:04:35.440 me earlier that the Mets were done. 828 01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:37.760 I said, you kidding me, They're already done. They can't be. No, 829 01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:40.480 I know it's not. Now. I see he. 830 01:04:42.159 --> 01:04:47.960 Saw. What Jimmy saw was Dodge just winning two more 831 01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:52.719 games nextra in New York, and so at three to one, 832 01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:56.159 that's what he saw, right, And and he threw it 833 01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:58.119 up the windows, saying, now they're done. 834 01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:00.639 And like he said to you, but. 835 01:05:00.719 --> 01:05:03.840 Look at what that But look what came up, Jimmy boy. 836 01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:07.519 Right, two possible games. Like look, that's what the Mets 837 01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:10.320 did all season, right, So what I'm seeing they keep 838 01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:13.119 coming back and and and that's the thing. They get 839 01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:14.880 under it and they get beat up bad. 840 01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:19.320 I mean, you know what, I think they like to 841 01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:27.360 be the professor being. They want to they do that. 842 01:05:27.719 --> 01:05:29.159 They like coming from behind him. 843 01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:33.760 They want to charge, they want to competition. They will 844 01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:37.280 how they have it with the Dodgers, But they are 845 01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:41.519 pushing themselves and that's what I think they do. 846 01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:44.320 Let me ask you this though, because you've been watching 847 01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:48.239 the Tony all year, right, yeah, okay, So do they 848 01:05:48.239 --> 01:05:49.800 stick him in the outfield sometimes? 849 01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:50.800 Is that what they do with him? 850 01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:55.880 Or do they just you know him, well only mony 851 01:05:56.000 --> 01:05:57.199 d H most of the time. 852 01:05:57.280 --> 01:05:59.639 Well that makes sense, I would d H. 853 01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:04.119 Since I heard that he can't pitch anymore, that's crazy. 854 01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:06.239 So now he's DH. 855 01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:07.519 That what I'm hearing. 856 01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:10.840 He was pitching just fine the other night. Oh he 857 01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:13.360 did just the other night. I missed that one. That's 858 01:06:13.360 --> 01:06:15.679 what he was. Yeah, he was pitching for a bit 859 01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:16.320 the other night. 860 01:06:16.599 --> 01:06:18.840 I saw him pitch and I said, man, this guy 861 01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:21.039 is actually better than I thought. I mean, even all 862 01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:22.760 the stuff I read about him, I never seen him 863 01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:23.400 play right. 864 01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:26.920 But what I heard about he said he was hurting 865 01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:28.719 because he couldn't pitch anymore. 866 01:06:28.760 --> 01:06:30.119 But I don't. 867 01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:36.679 Missus, uh miss his sidekick saying something about that. 868 01:06:37.119 --> 01:06:41.519 And then he said yeah. And then he fouled the 869 01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:43.119 ball off and it might have hit his toe. It 870 01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:44.840 might not. But then and then he filed the ball 871 01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:46.719 off and it hit him right in the crotch. I 872 01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:48.880 did see that. Yet two times in a row he 873 01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:50.719 hit himself the ball. That was crazy. 874 01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:53.840 He hit him the foot maybe, but the same thing 875 01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:55.639 is that the shot on the foot, you're not sure 876 01:06:55.719 --> 01:06:57.400 you know, you're looking at it, going did that ball 877 01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:00.559 make contact with his foot or not? Right with the 878 01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:03.000 shot and the crotch, No, that definitely happened, and he 879 01:07:03.079 --> 01:07:04.760 sugar he shook it off good. 880 01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:06.199 You know. 881 01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:09.599 Initially the announcers thought he got hitting the side and 882 01:07:09.679 --> 01:07:11.320 I was like, yeah, that didn't look like the side. 883 01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:13.360 Then they played the replay and they went, whoa, Nope, 884 01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:17.639 not the side. That was horrible. 885 01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:20.840 Oh god, I thought, yeah, I thought he was going 886 01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:22.480 to go out of the game with that, you know, 887 01:07:23.159 --> 01:07:26.039 And then the Mets picture. The Mets hitter got hit 888 01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:28.920 right on the thigh with a fastball and I thought, 889 01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:30.559 oh man, this guy's going to go out because he 890 01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:32.920 rolled on the ground like, you know, like somebody broke something. 891 01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:35.000 And I said, oh boy, here we go. 892 01:07:37.320 --> 01:07:40.960 But that game they lost, you know that dame he last, 893 01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:44.199 and that must have been three three wins for the 894 01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:48.320 Dodgers at that time, right, yeah, they three to one. 895 01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:53.840 They're saying, no, that's one more game went, it's double. 896 01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:57.199 But no, wait a minute, right, turn the page. 897 01:07:57.320 --> 01:07:59.920 Well, the Dodgers, because. 898 01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:02.159 Amount bombing, it's. 899 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:03.000 Still tough to come out. 900 01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:04.800 It's still tough to come out in a three to 901 01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:08.079 one depicit because look, the Dodgers only have to win 902 01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:09.079 one of the next. 903 01:08:08.960 --> 01:08:12.480 Two right at home, at home, at home. Yeah, I 904 01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:14.440 know er stadium, I know that. 905 01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:18.239 So the Mets are behind the eight ball bad right, 906 01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:20.239 Even if they win the next one, even if they 907 01:08:20.520 --> 01:08:23.399 crush them, it don't matter because they could still just win. 908 01:08:23.479 --> 01:08:25.359 They could just squeak out one of these two games. 909 01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:26.319 That's all they gotta do. 910 01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:29.960 What just one game and tell them like they say, 911 01:08:30.319 --> 01:08:32.760 but look what they did. For example, look what they 912 01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:37.520 did the Philly the foot they won't done. I'm finished. Right, 913 01:08:37.800 --> 01:08:41.119 they came back and boom, they swept that. They took 914 01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:46.319 them out. So I can't really put my finger on 915 01:08:46.520 --> 01:08:48.560 this whole series. 916 01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:51.279 And then they got that kid Hernandez, right, was a 917 01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:55.399 kiky Hernandez. Oh yeah yeah yeah. And that guy all 918 01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:57.279 of a sudden, when when he goes into the postseason 919 01:08:57.359 --> 01:08:57.920 he cranks up. 920 01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:00.680 Wait, yeah, that's the other thing. 921 01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:02.479 He's like this ezy. 922 01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:06.479 He got these crazy hitters that will go crazy, and 923 01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:08.600 they oh, it's time to go. 924 01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:10.239 This is the end of the year. 925 01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:13.159 It looks you know, when you when you were a 926 01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:15.439 younger man, when you were a younger man, uncle, you 927 01:09:15.520 --> 01:09:16.560 could watch Reggie Jackson. 928 01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:18.760 They called him mister October right, yeah. 929 01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:21.359 Yeah, I heard about him too. Yeah, he was the guy. 930 01:09:21.520 --> 01:09:22.880 He was the guy if you if you were in 931 01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:24.960 the postseason, you had Reggie with you, you were going 932 01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:26.720 to do good because he was going to crank. 933 01:09:26.600 --> 01:09:28.439 It up in the postseason every time. 934 01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:34.640 But this is the time, Oh my up, Dodgers got 935 01:09:34.720 --> 01:09:40.640 like three mister October's and otani I mean jesus, yeah, yeah, yeah, exacting. 936 01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:43.560 But it's a mexicaneak by on him. Man, I don't know, 937 01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:47.720 you know that that'll be that'll be something. I don't 938 01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:50.920 have a lot of faith because you know, they need 939 01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:52.640 to use their bullpen. They need to use like six 940 01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:55.439 pitchers a game to get by exactly. 941 01:09:55.880 --> 01:09:57.720 That's what I believe they did. 942 01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:03.640 Or someone's something they did, something they did, they did 943 01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:08.159 they hitting, they woke up pitting finally with so many 944 01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:10.800 hits or the bump pen thing. 945 01:10:11.039 --> 01:10:12.119 Well, that's the thing with them. 946 01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:14.479 It's either feast or famine, right, It's either they get 947 01:10:14.560 --> 01:10:18.520 lots of hits or nothing, lots or nothing. It's all 948 01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:21.119 or nothing with them. It's so funny because that's really 949 01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:21.960 what the Mets are like. 950 01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:25.680 And that's what I kept looking at myself, what's all 951 01:10:25.760 --> 01:10:28.600 with these people? What wrong with these Mets? And they're 952 01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:29.279 doing what. 953 01:10:29.399 --> 01:10:30.000 You just said? 954 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:32.479 What what the heck is this? 955 01:10:32.760 --> 01:10:35.800 Well, you realize outside of that Subway series in two 956 01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:38.319 thousand or two thousand and one, right before that, the 957 01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:40.399 last time they were in there was eighty eight. For 958 01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:45.159 God's sake, you know, so it's been a while, it's 959 01:10:45.199 --> 01:10:48.760 been a minute, and uh, you know, look they're due. 960 01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:51.239 But I don't know, man, even if they don't get it. See, 961 01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:54.279 here's the funny thing though, the Dodgers they should win this. 962 01:10:55.720 --> 01:10:57.680 Yes, if they don't, you. 963 01:10:57.720 --> 01:10:59.479 Know, what are people going to say about the Mets 964 01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:01.760 going into it's the Yankees say, because I don't think 965 01:11:01.800 --> 01:11:04.279 for a second that the Commanders are going to succeed 966 01:11:04.359 --> 01:11:05.079 beating the Yankees. 967 01:11:05.119 --> 01:11:06.920 What do you think of that one? Right now? 968 01:11:07.039 --> 01:11:11.159 The score was when I came up six to five Yankees. 969 01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:15.079 Shuck, it's the Guardians you're talking about that. You're talking 970 01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:17.640 about Cleveland Guardians. I'm sorry, the Guardian. You know what 971 01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:19.920 I mixed itall? 972 01:11:19.960 --> 01:11:22.279 That's the Red right, Okay, I'm sorry. 973 01:11:22.720 --> 01:11:24.760 I knew the two different Indians got changed to the 974 01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:26.640 Commanders and the Guardians, but I mix them up. 975 01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:28.279 Sorry, you're right. 976 01:11:29.439 --> 01:11:32.279 Well, one was the Indians and one was the Redskins. Anyway, 977 01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:35.760 we talked about Chief Wahoo on the Friday Night College Show. 978 01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:39.359 So yes, anyhow, I'll shut up now, but just give 979 01:11:39.399 --> 01:11:41.520 you a little note here, uncle.

Are 1003 01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:55.880 you rooting for the Dodgers? Uncle, I'm talking to you 1004 01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:57.600 right now. Are you rooting for the Dodgers or not? 1005 01:12:59.079 --> 01:13:01.279 No? No, I'm I'm a med man. 1006 01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:06.840 You want that I needed to check Listen, I'm that man. 1007 01:13:07.199 --> 01:13:13.680 I'm born in Brooklyn. Why wouldn't I be for the Mets, 1008 01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:15.760 not for those sorry Dodgers. 1009 01:13:16.439 --> 01:13:19.960 Sorry because the Dodgers came from how about that? 1010 01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:24.720 No, I'm saying what I'm saying, is I ain't glad 1011 01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:28.359 to see the Mets get in because I was from there. 1012 01:13:28.760 --> 01:13:29.600 That's all I'm saying. 1013 01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:33.279 I got you. That's fine, that's saying. That's what I'm saying. 1014 01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:35.560 If it wasn't the Mets, though, you'd probably be rooting 1015 01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:40.199 for the Dodgers, right, Okay, So that's what I want 1016 01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:41.720 the Dodgers to add. How about that? 1017 01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:47.359 Because you're not from New York, So that's why that's understandable. 1018 01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:50.479 This is my point I'm trying to tell people. But 1019 01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:53.199 that's what I'm trying to. 1020 01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:57.119 I'm always confused about this their sidekick. Are you originally 1021 01:13:57.199 --> 01:13:59.560 from Ohio or Pennsylvania? Which which one is it? 1022 01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:04.399 Yes, originally Pennsylvania. Okay. 1023 01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:06.920 And if we're talking baseball by baseball team, I am 1024 01:14:07.039 --> 01:14:09.239 fond of the Phillies because I grew up watching them 1025 01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:12.239 in the nineteen nineties, especially the team. I could go 1026 01:14:12.319 --> 01:14:15.000 on and on about that team, which I find fascinating, 1027 01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:17.680 but I watched them, So I lean on the Phillies 1028 01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:20.319 as a baseball team. But then for other sports I 1029 01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:24.319 usually go with the l A team, the LA Rams. Yeah, okay, Dodgers. 1030 01:14:25.159 --> 01:14:26.960 So I you know, so you you got into the 1031 01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:31.600 Phillies when Pete Rose left. Basically, yeah, yeah, I remember 1032 01:14:31.720 --> 01:14:35.399 Mike Schmidt right third playing, But that was before I 1033 01:14:35.479 --> 01:14:37.640 even realized that I was so little. Then I was 1034 01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:44.199 more the Lenny Dikstra, John Cruk, Darren Dalden, those guys. 1035 01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:47.279 Yeah, that is the team that I watched. Dykeshra you 1036 01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:50.560 got from the Mets. But that was a bad trade. 1037 01:14:51.279 --> 01:14:53.520 But yeah, but Dykesher was a tough player for the 1038 01:14:53.560 --> 01:15:00.680 Phillies for years and years. Anyways, Okay, Kirk Shilling right right, McGraths, 1039 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:01.199 how about that? 1040 01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:04.279 Was he still there? I don't remember that name. I 1041 01:15:04.439 --> 01:15:07.039 don't remember watching him. I've heard of that name. 1042 01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:12.720 Oh yes, yes, kid, I remember what he was, Yes, yes, 1043 01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:17.479 I remember him. Uncle remembers I remember that guy, of course, Yeah, yeah, 1044 01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:18.359 I remember him. 1045 01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:19.800 The cool name that was. 1046 01:15:20.119 --> 01:15:22.520 That was the guy that was getting like the motor going, 1047 01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:26.239 get the motive going, and he was moving along. 1048 01:15:26.600 --> 01:15:30.640 So that's why his name's Tug super animated. Yeah animated. 1049 01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:31.560 I remember him. 1050 01:15:31.880 --> 01:15:32.880 I remember him. 1051 01:15:32.960 --> 01:15:36.119 Yeah, Tug the cards start the engine. 1052 01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:37.720 Here's something like that. 1053 01:15:37.960 --> 01:15:38.920 It was like that guy. 1054 01:15:39.039 --> 01:15:41.720 Have you had a long hair or was his short hair? 1055 01:15:42.560 --> 01:15:43.359 I don't know it was. 1056 01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.800 Hair, but but I think deygnated show. 1057 01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:51.239 Out a bit, you know what, id Phillies back then, honestly, Aaron, 1058 01:15:51.319 --> 01:15:53.760 because I had you know, Philly stations in New Jersey, right, 1059 01:15:54.199 --> 01:15:55.640 so I used to be able to watch you know, 1060 01:15:55.720 --> 01:15:59.479 Philly baseball a lot. Is that like they made more 1061 01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:03.039 excuse for the Phillies when they lost. Their announcers would 1062 01:16:03.079 --> 01:16:05.039 always be like, the Phillies should have won this, and 1063 01:16:05.119 --> 01:16:07.640 if they did, they didn't hear what. It was never 1064 01:16:07.760 --> 01:16:08.479 the team's fault. 1065 01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:11.560 It was always something else, you know what I mean. 1066 01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:13.239 It was like, oh, well, you know, they should have 1067 01:16:13.239 --> 01:16:15.079 beat him, you know, because they got Dykestra and that's it, 1068 01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:18.479 and they should have beat him, you know, like every time, 1069 01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:20.359 every time it wasn't. 1070 01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:23.239 Like, look we just got to beat you know what, 1071 01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:29.560 fur winning Tigers. 1072 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:32.239 I don't know, I'd have to check showing. 1073 01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:36.199 He bounced around to a few different teams, but he 1074 01:16:36.359 --> 01:16:37.760 was on the Phillies for a minute. 1075 01:16:37.960 --> 01:16:42.640 I forget where he ended up going, uh Red. He 1076 01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:46.680 became a star with Phi his career. Maybe, I don't know. Yeah, 1077 01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:51.960 I think Philly. I think the Red Sox A bunch 1078 01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:54.479 of teams. He was kind of like just a journeyman 1079 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:56.680 knock around, who gives a crap where he is? Guy? 1080 01:16:56.840 --> 01:16:56.960 Right? 1081 01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:01.399 And uh okay, so he he starts, according to what 1082 01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:03.920 I see here on the internet, he starts with the 1083 01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:06.920 Orioles and the Astros and he goes to the Phillies for. 1084 01:17:06.960 --> 01:17:09.560 About eight years. Yes, it was a while. 1085 01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:13.880 Yeah, then the Arizona Diamondbacks, then the Boston Red Sox, 1086 01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:14.800 and then he's done. 1087 01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:19.359 He retires that he did end up in Boston. Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, 1088 01:17:19.479 --> 01:17:21.760 yeah right, And now. 1089 01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:27.600 Now he's now he's loving quanon online and just spreading 1090 01:17:27.640 --> 01:17:28.079 the truth. 1091 01:17:28.479 --> 01:17:29.720 But he was like a nobody. 1092 01:17:29.960 --> 01:17:32.199 He was like a nobody for years and years until 1093 01:17:32.239 --> 01:17:34.079 toward the end of his run with the Phillies. Then 1094 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:39.479 he was a big contract pitcher. And I'm thinking, when 1095 01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:42.039 did the Diamondbacks come into existence, because he might have 1096 01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:43.720 been one of those guys that they gave up, like 1097 01:17:43.800 --> 01:17:46.039 they didn't protect him, so he got drafted over there. 1098 01:17:46.279 --> 01:17:48.119 He might have been one of those guys. I don't 1099 01:17:48.119 --> 01:17:48.520 remember that. 1100 01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:50.880 Yeah, he was probably early on with the team, because 1101 01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:54.520 I remember it coming into existence like deadly later. 1102 01:17:54.960 --> 01:18:01.399 Yeah, Diamondbacks did one, no one of these days, not 1103 01:18:01.640 --> 01:18:02.159 long ago. 1104 01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:06.600 Was it last year? The year before they won. Yeah, 1105 01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:07.800 they won the little series. 1106 01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:12.399 I remember when it was close to one year, one 1107 01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:14.880 year ago with something. I thought they went to one, 1108 01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:18.920 but they lost recently. Didn't that happen just one two 1109 01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:19.399 years ago? 1110 01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:22.800 All right? I can't remember. I don't know. 1111 01:18:23.159 --> 01:18:25.640 Well, Kurt Schilling was the first twenty game winner that 1112 01:18:25.720 --> 01:18:28.359 the Diamondbacks ever had, according to I just went to 1113 01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:31.279 the franchise timeline and they mentioned that first, by the way, 1114 01:18:33.039 --> 01:18:38.600 on their timeline. But let's see, it looks like, oh no, wait, 1115 01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:40.760 ninety nine, I guess they came into existence. 1116 01:18:43.560 --> 01:18:47.039 Yeah, yeah, that sounds right. Ninety nine sounds about right them. 1117 01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:49.880 And what other team did the Devil Rays Devil Rais? 1118 01:18:50.319 --> 01:18:57.720 Yeah, another one too. Did Colorado Rockies coming the No, 1119 01:18:57.880 --> 01:18:59.920 that was earlier. That was the same year that the 1120 01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:03.520 Marlins came When in ninety I was like early nineties 1121 01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:05.399 ninety two Marlins two? 1122 01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:08.199 Okay, ninety two, that's when mount where the Mullins came. 1123 01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:11.039 Okay, yeah, right, okay, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna look 1124 01:19:11.079 --> 01:19:13.359 that up. But I'm just from my own memory. I 1125 01:19:13.399 --> 01:19:15.039 think the Marlins came in in ninety two. 1126 01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:18.720 Yeah, and it was the Rockies Sam time, That's what 1127 01:19:18.800 --> 01:19:21.520 I was saying that does that does sound right? Yeah? 1128 01:19:21.640 --> 01:19:28.119 I forgot the important part. The Lions destroyed the Cowboys 1129 01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:29.520 just destroyed. 1130 01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:32.119 Yeah yeah, yeah I had them. 1131 01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:34.560 I had them this face wait I had them, but 1132 01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:38.760 but but but look who you lost in that game? 1133 01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:46.920 Oh yeah, just just for the record, and just for 1134 01:19:47.039 --> 01:19:47.479 the record. 1135 01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:50.640 Uh, the Marlins came into existence in ninety two, and 1136 01:19:50.720 --> 01:19:52.800 they didn't They played their first game in ninety three. 1137 01:19:54.159 --> 01:20:00.760 Okay, oh yeah, you hold on? Is on this line? 1138 01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:07.159 He got hello? Hang on, hang on? Who's that talking?

Tawny has not pitched. 1142 01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:23.000 He's coming off with Tommy John surgery. He's projected to 1143 01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:29.000 pitch next year. There has been some rumor. There's been 1144 01:20:29.079 --> 01:20:32.640 some rumor he may pitch in the postseason. I'm guessing 1145 01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:38.760 maybe in a relief role, but that has not happened yet. Chuck, 1146 01:20:39.079 --> 01:20:44.319 uh and uncle, you're not a Mets fan. They're from Queens. 1147 01:20:44.359 --> 01:20:46.760 You say you're from Brooklyn.

Quick, kind of fool everybody. 1157 01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:15.840 Okay, I thought Otani was pitching. 1158 01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:20.479 I thought is a Mets fan. Chuck is an authentic 1159 01:21:20.600 --> 01:21:23.600 Mets fan. You are not a Mets fan, Uncle stock. 1160 01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:29.960 Of Mantani. 1161 01:21:30.199 --> 01:21:31.640 By the way, just. 1162 01:21:33.479 --> 01:21:35.119 Oani, did I know what. 1163 01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:38.319 I'm talking about.

I didn't know. 1166 01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:47.840 Why are they putting designated hitters in the National League 1167 01:21:48.960 --> 01:21:52.000 playoff games? Well, it's it's a it's a whole different Well, no. 1168 01:21:52.199 --> 01:21:54.640 They started that last year. The National League has the 1169 01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:59.359 d H. Now, Chuck, God, everybody, we're all DH. 1170 01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:01.560 Now what you heard me ask like, did they put 1171 01:22:01.640 --> 01:22:03.600 him in the outfield or what?

But right now we're all 1182 01:22:23.159 --> 01:22:23.479 the H. 1183 01:22:23.840 --> 01:22:26.079 Well, anyway, that's how he's gotten his hits, right, and 1184 01:22:26.159 --> 01:22:28.800 he's uh, what is he is? The agent? He's gone 1185 01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:33.560 six for twenty seven yeah. Yeah, in the postseason yeah, 1186 01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:34.159 but yeah, but. 1187 01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:38.399 With runners on base, he's like seventeen for twenty one. Yeah, 1188 01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:42.439 right just before the season ended. He's got a crazy, 1189 01:22:43.399 --> 01:22:47.359 crazy line. He runners on base, he knocks him in. 1190 01:22:48.560 --> 01:22:51.399 Of course he hits the odd leadoff home run now 1191 01:22:51.439 --> 01:22:54.359 and then, but like but no, yeah, he's got a 1192 01:22:54.439 --> 01:22:57.239 crazy thing.

And some of them in their careers are over. 1249 01:25:22.760 --> 01:25:24.920 I mean, he's still got a hell of a bat apparently, 1250 01:25:25.439 --> 01:25:27.600 So you know, I mean, you could figure a place, 1251 01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:29.640 especially if the National League is going to keep the 1252 01:25:29.680 --> 01:25:34.279 damn d h Uh. It makes me sick, but it's 1253 01:25:34.319 --> 01:25:38.159 a new game, a new game that's horrible. I hate 1254 01:25:38.279 --> 01:25:41.960 when you know, if a pitcher can throw at somebody. See, 1255 01:25:41.960 --> 01:25:44.239 I'm telling you. They had a Japanese guy, another guy 1256 01:25:44.560 --> 01:25:45.680 Yamamoto or whatever. 1257 01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:48.359 That's who was picture still on Dodges. 1258 01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:54.840 Yeah, and he hit and he had a hit batsman 1259 01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:58.560 that night, the same night as Otani hit, but one 1260 01:25:58.600 --> 01:26:00.279 of the home runs, not the night he hit the 1261 01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:02.600 lead off, but the night he knocked in a couple 1262 01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:07.319 of people or whatever. That night he hit one of 1263 01:26:07.359 --> 01:26:10.840 the mets right on the leg hard. And I said 1264 01:26:10.920 --> 01:26:13.039 to myself, you know what, that sucks because this guy 1265 01:26:13.159 --> 01:26:14.920 he could hit somebody. And I don't think of tany 1266 01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:16.520 Yamamoto meant to hit him. 1267 01:26:17.119 --> 01:26:17.720 I don't think so. 1268 01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:21.119 But either way, if he did, if somebody got nasty 1269 01:26:21.279 --> 01:26:23.680 like that, this guy needs to stand in the box. 1270 01:26:24.439 --> 01:26:26.600 I mean that's the way I've always seen it, you 1271 01:26:26.680 --> 01:26:27.119 know what I mean. 1272 01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:30.640 Yeah, Well they told him, Yeah, you go out of 1273 01:26:30.720 --> 01:26:36.079 the game to take yours take. You're out of the game, 1274 01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:38.880 chef out and sit down on the bench. 1275 01:26:39.119 --> 01:26:40.920 Just so what so you get Okay, I get an 1276 01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:43.680 early night bye. So what you know what I'm saying that. 1277 01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:47.760 No real consequence though, you know what, you throw out 1278 01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:50.319 a star player, you hurt their star player or something. Man, 1279 01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:52.319 you know, I got no problem with the next picture 1280 01:26:52.640 --> 01:26:55.199 drilling one off of your back, you know what I mean, 1281 01:26:56.199 --> 01:26:58.960 because it's like turn the bouts. I mean, seriously there, 1282 01:26:59.439 --> 01:27:01.319 you know. I mean, I know we live in the 1283 01:27:01.359 --> 01:27:03.479 age of everybody needs to be careful with everybody. But 1284 01:27:03.680 --> 01:27:06.359 you know, come on, either you're gonna play the game 1285 01:27:06.439 --> 01:27:08.520 or you're not, you know what I mean. And I 1286 01:27:08.640 --> 01:27:12.159 say a pitcher has to stand in that box. Yeah, 1287 01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:15.000 that makes sense. It's it's always odd to me. 1288 01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:17.800 I mean I never really played baseball personally, so I 1289 01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:21.279 always found it odd that somebody's so good at pitching 1290 01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:24.439 that they can't turn around and back like the other 1291 01:27:24.560 --> 01:27:25.720 players all over the field. 1292 01:27:25.840 --> 01:27:27.600 Like, what is it about pitching? Does it wear your 1293 01:27:27.720 --> 01:27:29.800 arm out so much? It's a totally different skill? Is 1294 01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:33.159 it's a completely different skill? Well, isn't it a different 1295 01:27:33.199 --> 01:27:35.840 skill from playing first base too? You know what I mean? Like, 1296 01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:36.960 it doesn't make sense to me. 1297 01:27:37.239 --> 01:27:40.600 But here's the thing, Eric, Look, the honest thing is 1298 01:27:41.079 --> 01:27:43.039 if you can pitch real, real, well, you don't need 1299 01:27:43.079 --> 01:27:43.359 to hit. 1300 01:27:43.960 --> 01:27:48.000 Right whether or not. I mean, even when you got 1301 01:27:48.039 --> 01:27:49.279 the class. 1302 01:27:49.840 --> 01:27:51.640 It's a protected class. So look, if you're a good 1303 01:27:51.720 --> 01:27:53.279 enough pitcher, we don't care if you can hit. Now 1304 01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:55.560 Atani is a unicorn, Like. 1305 01:27:56.159 --> 01:27:57.920 It was very good and he hits. 1306 01:27:58.399 --> 01:27:59.359 Oh I knew who he was. 1307 01:28:00.199 --> 01:28:03.640 He played for the Giants and he moved over to 1308 01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:10.399 another team. I don't know what I was gardener, that's 1309 01:28:11.279 --> 01:28:12.039 bum gardener. 1310 01:28:14.359 --> 01:28:17.359 But you were talking about David Colen when he was 1311 01:28:17.399 --> 01:28:18.520 with the Mets, was a good hitter. 1312 01:28:19.439 --> 01:28:22.960 Well, you're talking about Chuck about hitting and pitching and 1313 01:28:23.079 --> 01:28:28.319 the hitting. Bum Garner. He is a good hitter and 1314 01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:30.960 a good swinger, a good mumper. 1315 01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:36.000 Yeah, but a freak of nature though, I mean, we 1316 01:28:36.119 --> 01:28:36.720 haven't seen. 1317 01:28:38.039 --> 01:28:39.000 He's a freak of nature. 1318 01:28:39.079 --> 01:28:40.039 We haven't seen a guy like this. 1319 01:28:40.439 --> 01:28:45.479 By talking about you're talking about pitch, there's no hit. 1320 01:28:45.720 --> 01:28:51.199 This d h stuff and this stuff he'd take. It's 1321 01:28:51.319 --> 01:28:57.359 like taking his bat, Bumgarne, his bat away from him. 1322 01:28:58.600 --> 01:29:00.520 And but you know he's good to hear. 1323 01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:02.039 Well. I always, I always. 1324 01:29:02.520 --> 01:29:04.960 I always found it odd that Otani was on the 1325 01:29:05.119 --> 01:29:07.840 Angels in the American League the whole time, where it 1326 01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:10.159 seems like he was clearly made to be in the 1327 01:29:10.279 --> 01:29:13.680 National League, that he could be hitting and pitching, Like, 1328 01:29:13.760 --> 01:29:15.560 why is this guy not on a national league team? 1329 01:29:15.600 --> 01:29:16.359 Why the Angels? 1330 01:29:16.399 --> 01:29:18.760 Well, see I would see no problem sticking the Dodgers 1331 01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:20.479 the rule change, but I would see. 1332 01:29:20.359 --> 01:29:22.920 No problems sticking him on an American League team, because 1333 01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:25.039 you know what, where is there a rule that says 1334 01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:27.800 you can't be a DH and a pitcher. So I 1335 01:29:27.840 --> 01:29:29.880 would DH this guy a couple times a week and 1336 01:29:29.960 --> 01:29:31.800 then let him pitch in his rotation, you know what 1337 01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:32.119 I mean? 1338 01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:33.199 Yeah? 1339 01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:36.079 I mean and they did that? Yeah, and didn't didn't 1340 01:29:36.079 --> 01:29:41.920 the Angels do that with him? Or no? Yeah? Yeah? Anyway, okay, yeah, 1341 01:29:41.920 --> 01:29:44.560 as I recall, they did do that. Yeah, you know, 1342 01:29:45.199 --> 01:29:47.079 I don't know the American League. 1343 01:29:47.079 --> 01:29:49.680 I've never been a fan of the American League, mainly 1344 01:29:49.800 --> 01:29:51.199 for this DHS situation. 1345 01:29:51.319 --> 01:29:54.079 But now there's no damn difference. So I it's crazy. 1346 01:29:56.960 --> 01:30:02.000 I'm sure I'm getting actually on this truth. I'm actually 1347 01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:06.560 getting bored. Pum this DH. What you guys do that? 1348 01:30:07.399 --> 01:30:07.479 Oh? 1349 01:30:07.520 --> 01:30:09.960 I'm sorry, all right, because. 1350 01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:14.279 These DH I do agree. Like I go back to 1351 01:30:14.399 --> 01:30:20.039 Goddill again. This guy hit the pool to the pitch 1352 01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:22.640 and hit the pool and threw the pitch. 1353 01:30:23.800 --> 01:30:27.439 What is wrong with a pitcher hitting a pool? 1354 01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:31.399 It removes okay, but it removes a whole element of 1355 01:30:31.479 --> 01:30:34.159 the game where you had. Look, let's figure out do 1356 01:30:34.239 --> 01:30:34.600 we need. 1357 01:30:34.560 --> 01:30:36.119 To take this guy out for a hit or now 1358 01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:38.399 you know what I mean, do we need to bring 1359 01:30:38.479 --> 01:30:41.560 in another bat because okay, I got a defensive shortstop. 1360 01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:43.920 He's great a defense, but he doesn't hit worth the crap. 1361 01:30:44.359 --> 01:30:46.039 Or we got a good catcher and we need a 1362 01:30:46.079 --> 01:30:47.359 good catcher, but he doesn't hit. 1363 01:30:47.960 --> 01:30:49.119 He can't run, he can't hit. 1364 01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:53.680 How they work it, that's how the managers work it. 1365 01:30:54.079 --> 01:30:56.000 Well said it, Chuck, But. 1366 01:30:56.039 --> 01:30:58.119 It removes that whole element, like I don't need to 1367 01:30:58.159 --> 01:31:00.279 worry about okay Otani. You know what I'll do, move 1368 01:31:00.359 --> 01:31:02.560 him over and when he's done his pitching arms tired, fine, 1369 01:31:02.680 --> 01:31:04.640 let's put him in the DH spot after, you know, 1370 01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:06.680 swap out the DH they held it. 1371 01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:09.199 Yeah, you know what I mean. And that way you've 1372 01:31:09.199 --> 01:31:13.600 got a power threat in the lineup the whole time. Yeah, 1373 01:31:14.279 --> 01:31:16.520 was what he had fifty six this year fifty five 1374 01:31:16.680 --> 01:31:23.039 something like that, ed fifty four, fifty four and he's 1375 01:31:23.079 --> 01:31:24.199 not even a pumped. 1376 01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:25.920 Up looking gun stolen basis. 1377 01:31:26.359 --> 01:31:27.520 Yeah, so he's got speed. 1378 01:31:28.239 --> 01:31:32.399 Yeah, think about that fifty to fifty player. Yeah, I 1379 01:31:32.520 --> 01:31:37.159 mean that's outrageous. That's ever Hall of Fame, Like he's 1380 01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:40.039 almost guaranteed Hall of Fame already, right. 1381 01:31:40.279 --> 01:31:43.199 Well, yeah, he's I know that. 1382 01:31:45.359 --> 01:31:49.840 He's kept saying. He kept saying on the interview when 1383 01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:53.920 when he was talking to his manager, he won it 1384 01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:59.960 go to a team that because he gets into the 1385 01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:00.720 play of us. 1386 01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:02.039 Yeah, he wants to win something. 1387 01:32:02.119 --> 01:32:05.960 He should win to win something. He kept saying that 1388 01:32:06.199 --> 01:32:11.159 oba and over again to his manager and his managers, saying, 1389 01:32:11.960 --> 01:32:13.159 just like we're talking. 1390 01:32:14.840 --> 01:32:15.319 Just like that. 1391 01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:20.199 Yeah, I want to get a team that really really 1392 01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:25.079 needs me. And like he did, he went to the Dungees. Yeah, yeah, 1393 01:32:25.319 --> 01:32:26.279 that's how it happened. 1394 01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:28.640 I mean, I don't know what size contract he's gonna get, 1395 01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:31.199 but I mean, geez, you know, even even without the 1396 01:32:31.239 --> 01:32:35.000 pitching on them, he's saying he's got he's on. 1397 01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:37.800 A ten year, seven hundred million guys. 1398 01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:42.680 Oh, he's one of that. You didn't hear about that? Yeah, 1399 01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:44.840 I thought so, but I wasn't sure if that was 1400 01:32:44.960 --> 01:32:46.359 like the rumored deal. 1401 01:32:46.479 --> 01:32:47.600 But you know, you know what I mean where they 1402 01:32:47.600 --> 01:32:49.479 always release all these things, this is what we think 1403 01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:51.039 the deal is going to be, and then you know 1404 01:32:51.119 --> 01:32:52.279 it doesn't turn out that way. 1405 01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:59.000 I know, yeah, because he because he's because a good picture. 1406 01:32:59.560 --> 01:33:03.159 You know, Clayton Kershaw was the first thirty million plus 1407 01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:07.560 guy pitcher just as a pitcher. But Otani, he's a 1408 01:33:07.680 --> 01:33:11.800 top line starter and a slugger, right he does. You know, 1409 01:33:11.920 --> 01:33:13.960 he's got to get two paychecks. 1410 01:33:13.439 --> 01:33:16.880 Here pretty much. I don't see any objection there. I mean, look, 1411 01:33:16.920 --> 01:33:18.960 if these other guys are worth I don't either. 1412 01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:21.680 These other guys are worth three hundred million over the 1413 01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:25.119 course of a decade. This guy's easily worth six, you know, 1414 01:33:25.479 --> 01:33:27.720 just saying if that's. 1415 01:33:27.640 --> 01:33:29.760 What the going rate is and he's getting seven. 1416 01:33:30.439 --> 01:33:33.560 Yeah, well so be it. Get what you can get. 1417 01:33:33.840 --> 01:33:38.319 I mean, you know, it's not like these franchises. Yeah, 1418 01:33:38.800 --> 01:33:40.479 I mean I know it hurts us because now you know. 1419 01:33:40.479 --> 01:33:42.840 Of course, you know what he's not when he comes 1420 01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:45.159 back from this Tommy John. See if he's still got 1421 01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:48.920 the ninety six to one hundred mile an hour fastball 1422 01:33:49.079 --> 01:33:51.159 and all the other pitches he has, you know, I mean, 1423 01:33:51.199 --> 01:33:54.159 he's it's not like he can pitch, but he's so 1424 01:33:54.439 --> 01:33:56.359 so he's a top line starter. 1425 01:33:56.680 --> 01:33:58.920 Well see that's the other thing is it looks even 1426 01:33:58.960 --> 01:34:01.359 if he doesn't have the val he could come back 1427 01:34:01.560 --> 01:34:03.720 and you know, he's very intelligent. 1428 01:34:03.920 --> 01:34:06.039 I mean, I'm watching what he's doing with his process 1429 01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:06.520 at the plate. 1430 01:34:06.600 --> 01:34:10.960 Even he's an intelligent hitter, so you know, I'm imagining 1431 01:34:11.079 --> 01:34:13.239 that with his stats as a pitcher's he's been very 1432 01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:16.680 intelligent there. Some of these guys lose velocity and it's okay, 1433 01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:19.600 you know, I mean, you don't need to be a fireman. 1434 01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:24.000 Yeah, Kershaw lost his velocity, but he's still one of 1435 01:34:24.039 --> 01:34:27.680 the better pictures when he's healthy, even without his velocity. 1436 01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:30.079 Because he started utilizing a little trickery. It's like he 1437 01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:32.640 throws you off with the with the splitter or whatever, 1438 01:34:32.760 --> 01:34:33.479 you know what I mean. 1439 01:34:33.800 --> 01:34:36.439 And it's deceptive. It's about the deception out of the hand. 1440 01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:39.159 If your fastball looks the same as the change up, 1441 01:34:39.560 --> 01:34:43.000 you know, these guys are screwed. I mean, it's very 1442 01:34:43.079 --> 01:34:43.520 hard to hit. 1443 01:34:43.600 --> 01:34:43.640 That. 1444 01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:46.159 Big part of baseball is the mind game, you know, 1445 01:34:46.279 --> 01:34:48.199 between the hitter and the picture. It's a mind game. 1446 01:34:48.359 --> 01:34:52.399 That's why. That's why I still him. That's what baseball. 1447 01:34:54.079 --> 01:34:57.920 Yeah, it works, the mind, It works, the mind exactly. 1448 01:34:58.960 --> 01:34:59.920 Hit it, uncle, You. 1449 01:35:01.800 --> 01:35:03.600 I think bailed on us, by the way. 1450 01:35:04.039 --> 01:35:06.399 Yeah, yeah, he's in the chat at turch he said 1451 01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:08.399 he had to get going, but he's in the chat. 1452 01:35:10.680 --> 01:35:10.800 Here. 1453 01:35:11.359 --> 01:35:12.920 Oh he's not there, now, get well, he's not on 1454 01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:15.920 the phone, but he's he went, he's on the chat twitch. 1455 01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:17.159 He said he had to get going.

Who do you think is going like? 1480 01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:49.279 Who do you think practically is most likely to be 1481 01:36:49.359 --> 01:36:50.680 in that World Series next week? 1482 01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:53.319 I think that Yankees will be there. 1483 01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:54.920 Yankees will be there. 1484 01:36:55.039 --> 01:36:57.439 They're just hanging on right now. 1485 01:36:57.640 --> 01:36:59.039 They're hanging on right now. 1486 01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:02.279 I don't know what the finding wasn't that, But I 1487 01:37:02.399 --> 01:37:13.239 think the Yankees will be there, even though I don't 1488 01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:15.640 know what to toss up on the other side, do. 1489 01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:17.359 You think it's a toss up between the Mets and 1490 01:37:17.399 --> 01:37:17.880 the Dodgers? 1491 01:37:19.079 --> 01:37:24.760 But because of how they're how they come back, how 1492 01:37:24.880 --> 01:37:28.359 they rek, I say, good luck, Uncle, I've come back 1493 01:37:28.560 --> 01:37:32.000 on something. I mean, you don't want to just did 1494 01:37:32.079 --> 01:37:38.039 it last this season with the Phillies. I'm a little 1495 01:37:39.000 --> 01:37:43.239 tossed on that down division because of. 1496 01:37:44.960 --> 01:37:45.000 That. 1497 01:37:46.800 --> 01:37:48.720 Yankees won ninety four games this year. 1498 01:37:49.880 --> 01:37:53.960 You know. But who I think's gonna win the whole thing? 1499 01:37:55.000 --> 01:37:55.600 You might know that? 1500 01:37:56.720 --> 01:38:04.159 Yeah, the big it Yankees. Man, the big Yankees. 1501 01:38:04.760 --> 01:38:07.199 Will take either any either one of them. 1502 01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:09.960 I hate bring them in, bring them up. 1503 01:38:10.039 --> 01:38:12.359 I know I hate him too. I know I hate 1504 01:38:12.399 --> 01:38:22.199 him too. I do hate them, But I'm looking at that. 1505 01:38:23.199 --> 01:38:26.600 See, I'm gonna whether the Dodgers or the Mets make it. 1506 01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:28.600 I'm rooting for the National League team. I'll tell you 1507 01:38:28.680 --> 01:38:31.560 that now, because I cannot stand. I just I don't 1508 01:38:31.680 --> 01:38:32.600 like the American League. 1509 01:38:32.680 --> 01:38:33.239 I never have. 1510 01:38:34.960 --> 01:38:39.439 Well, I don't know how they're doing it. I really 1511 01:38:39.479 --> 01:38:41.800 don't know how the Yankees are doing it. You know, 1512 01:38:41.920 --> 01:38:44.520 they buy the best pitching or hitting or they've always 1513 01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:48.479 done the way they do things. It's just the way 1514 01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:52.079 they do things. Yeah, it's real standpoint. 1515 01:38:52.279 --> 01:38:54.760 They very intelligent say. 1516 01:38:54.880 --> 01:39:01.399 The team is behind the people they're behind, and they still, oh, 1517 01:39:02.960 --> 01:39:03.840 whoa coming up? 1518 01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:06.439 Uncle. 1519 01:39:06.560 --> 01:39:07.479 They buy the. 1520 01:39:08.960 --> 01:39:11.199 Team to win this thing, but they get a huge 1521 01:39:11.239 --> 01:39:14.439 payroll uncle every time. Okay, And what they do is 1522 01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:15.600 going to cut their payroll. 1523 01:39:16.039 --> 01:39:18.479 And this is why I don't even know how they 1524 01:39:18.600 --> 01:39:22.720 think they do not need any more players. Well, no, 1525 01:39:22.880 --> 01:39:29.199 they never do, because and have done players down. You 1526 01:39:29.359 --> 01:39:31.199 got your players, live with it. 1527 01:39:31.399 --> 01:39:33.600 Well, everybody's got the same number of players. But the 1528 01:39:33.680 --> 01:39:36.279 thing is, the Yankees will turn around, though, and they're 1529 01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:38.399 not only you know, every other team. Usually they got 1530 01:39:38.439 --> 01:39:40.680 their top flight people that's their best people. And they 1531 01:39:40.960 --> 01:39:43.199 buy a team that they think they can field and 1532 01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:46.319 that's their top starters. Then the bench guys are always 1533 01:39:46.359 --> 01:39:48.600 a mix, right, guys on their way to the end 1534 01:39:48.640 --> 01:39:51.399 of their career, guys that are brand new, rookies, stuff 1535 01:39:51.520 --> 01:39:54.039 like that, that they gotten reserve, and almost always a 1536 01:39:54.079 --> 01:39:56.760 couple of them end up in there because the injuries or. 1537 01:39:56.760 --> 01:39:58.319 Whatever things happen. 1538 01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:01.000 But the Yankees will turn around out and pretty much 1539 01:40:01.439 --> 01:40:03.680 they get top line people even on their bench. 1540 01:40:04.680 --> 01:40:06.359 There's another reason why. 1541 01:40:06.840 --> 01:40:09.479 I also like how they operate. 1542 01:40:11.079 --> 01:40:14.359 Not just then I'm a Yankee fan, man, take that 1543 01:40:14.439 --> 01:40:19.399 on in mine, but how they operate. For example, I tank. 1544 01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:21.359 I tank the. 1545 01:40:22.920 --> 01:40:28.359 I tank the Marlins, for example, to the Yankees, now 1546 01:40:29.520 --> 01:40:34.560 they remember, they remember the Marlins won their first War series. 1547 01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:41.840 Yeah, why don't you keep the tained idiot, Well, why 1548 01:40:41.920 --> 01:40:45.319 don't you keep the team because they had a cheap 1549 01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:46.159 teal we. 1550 01:40:46.359 --> 01:40:50.319 Could But you see that the Yankees on the other hand, 1551 01:40:50.880 --> 01:40:53.119 now listening here, Chuck Cloaks. 1552 01:40:53.800 --> 01:40:55.079 But it's easy for the Yankees. 1553 01:40:55.159 --> 01:41:01.520 On the other hand, they do not just oh, let's 1554 01:41:01.520 --> 01:41:02.800 get rid of plays. 1555 01:41:05.159 --> 01:41:09.119 Because look, you like that. But here's the problem. It 1556 01:41:09.279 --> 01:41:12.319 perpetuates the idea that the richest guy in the room 1557 01:41:12.399 --> 01:41:12.920 gets to win. 1558 01:41:13.159 --> 01:41:15.399 You know what I'm saying. And that's what happens there 1559 01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:17.560 because look, the reason why the Marlins got rid of 1560 01:41:17.600 --> 01:41:19.520 that team, and I know it bothered you, but the 1561 01:41:19.600 --> 01:41:22.279 reason why is because now because they were winners, it 1562 01:41:22.399 --> 01:41:24.920 was going to cost them five times as much. 1563 01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:30.359 But they don't make good Uncle, change my point. 1564 01:41:30.439 --> 01:41:34.079 You can't. But you can't charge people. Okay, but here 1565 01:41:34.159 --> 01:41:34.840 here's the thing. 1566 01:41:36.640 --> 01:41:40.560 That doesn't have the money, then get then stay out 1567 01:41:40.640 --> 01:41:42.760 and pay for them. Yeah, but that's the thing. 1568 01:41:43.199 --> 01:41:45.479 Then that means you only want rich cities to be there, 1569 01:41:45.520 --> 01:41:47.479 because look, you're not going to be able to charge 1570 01:41:47.479 --> 01:41:50.560 the same money to go to a game in Miami 1571 01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:54.000 as you are in New York City. You can't charge 1572 01:41:54.039 --> 01:41:55.840 the same for a hot dog and shirt and nothing. 1573 01:41:56.840 --> 01:41:58.079 They don't have the same money. 1574 01:41:58.560 --> 01:42:02.279 About Milwaukee? What is Bill Walker? Cleveland? 1575 01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:06.039 Cleveland? Cleveland? 1576 01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:09.000 Yeah, you know? Or these second tiers? All right? Fine, 1577 01:42:09.079 --> 01:42:12.359 you know California's got freaking what six teams already or whatever. 1578 01:42:12.399 --> 01:42:15.039 We got six teams and loncal we got six teams 1579 01:42:15.079 --> 01:42:17.760 sittingy and we got done. Its just hanging on for 1580 01:42:17.920 --> 01:42:20.359 one more game. Beginning this wool city. Yeah yeah, and 1581 01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:23.760 then and you and you're complaining the pout and you're 1582 01:42:23.880 --> 01:42:26.239 complain of he's rich, greenbul but. 1583 01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:28.840 LA has money. Okay, But here's the thing. It's the 1584 01:42:28.960 --> 01:42:32.239 teams with the money that get to win, right, He's so. 1585 01:42:32.720 --> 01:42:34.279 But if that's all it is, then it's a big 1586 01:42:34.319 --> 01:42:36.439 casino game and it's got nothing to do with the sport. 1587 01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:38.520 You see what I'm saying. That's why I like it. 1588 01:42:39.600 --> 01:42:42.840 Yeah, hate them, get yeah, but who doesn't that bother you? 1589 01:42:43.039 --> 01:42:44.039 The sports? Mine? 1590 01:42:44.119 --> 01:42:47.119 Come on, doesn't that bother you a little bit? Only 1591 01:42:47.199 --> 01:42:51.439 the rich guys that? Okay, tell me about it. I 1592 01:42:52.039 --> 01:42:53.760 get my points out. Go ahead, give me give him 1593 01:42:53.760 --> 01:42:57.720 the point. Give him the point because I'm not making 1594 01:42:57.760 --> 01:43:01.039 my point. Go ahead. You may just not making this point. Okay. 1595 01:43:02.119 --> 01:43:05.399 Look, if you own a ball club, and now, ball 1596 01:43:05.439 --> 01:43:09.720 clubs are usually owned by ownership groups, not just like 1597 01:43:10.319 --> 01:43:12.880 you know, the O'Malley's or or what was the guys 1598 01:43:12.920 --> 01:43:14.560 that used to own the Yankees, the. 1599 01:43:16.279 --> 01:43:24.399 What was the guy's names? Out? What it is? 1600 01:43:26.119 --> 01:43:30.159 All these teams make money, but not all of them 1601 01:43:30.239 --> 01:43:33.279 want to spend money. Now, you got whoever, I don't 1602 01:43:33.279 --> 01:43:35.520 know who owns the Yankees now. But the Dodgers got 1603 01:43:35.880 --> 01:43:40.520 five six guys and they're clearly baseball fans, so they 1604 01:43:40.640 --> 01:43:45.640 put their money into the team. And the Yankees obviously 1605 01:43:45.720 --> 01:43:49.600 are still doing the same thing. Whoever's running that team now. 1606 01:43:49.760 --> 01:43:52.600 I follow the Mariners a bit too, because they're the 1607 01:43:52.720 --> 01:43:56.760 local team. They're making money, but they don't want to 1608 01:43:56.840 --> 01:44:00.479 put the money out. But they get really close, all right, 1609 01:44:00.479 --> 01:44:02.119 but Ed, let me ask you, it really close. 1610 01:44:03.560 --> 01:44:03.840 Okay. 1611 01:44:03.920 --> 01:44:07.079 But they get a good pitching staff like this year. Yeah, 1612 01:44:07.279 --> 01:44:09.680 but they didn't put out The Dodgers have ta Oscar 1613 01:44:09.760 --> 01:44:12.039 Hernandez who had a great year. He was a Mariner 1614 01:44:12.159 --> 01:44:15.239 last year. Okay, but Mariners didn't want to pay him. 1615 01:44:15.359 --> 01:44:17.640 Okay, Ed, But here's the thing. Here's the thing about 1616 01:44:17.640 --> 01:44:19.920 them not wanting to pay and everything else. There is 1617 01:44:20.079 --> 01:44:25.359 also a very simple, simple barrier here. You cannot make 1618 01:44:25.600 --> 01:44:26.399 the same money. 1619 01:44:26.520 --> 01:44:26.800 Okay. 1620 01:44:26.920 --> 01:44:29.159 Los Angeles, New York. These are big cities. There are 1621 01:44:29.319 --> 01:44:31.960 very rich people there. You charged two hundred dollars for 1622 01:44:32.039 --> 01:44:34.680 a decent ticket, somebody's gonna buy that ticket. 1623 01:44:34.840 --> 01:44:35.119 Okay. 1624 01:44:36.119 --> 01:44:37.840 They were trying to put a team in New Jersey 1625 01:44:38.359 --> 01:44:41.199 about twenty five years ago or so, and I was 1626 01:44:41.439 --> 01:44:44.279 involved in these discussions. They were talking about putting two 1627 01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:47.319 different professional teams into New Jersey and both of them 1628 01:44:47.319 --> 01:44:51.520 were turned away. Okay, and why the football team might 1629 01:44:51.560 --> 01:44:54.399 have been able to make enough money, but because you know, 1630 01:44:54.560 --> 01:44:56.800 Giant Stadium was in New Jersey and everything else. 1631 01:44:56.840 --> 01:44:58.760 It was like, look, that might work, but that's once 1632 01:44:58.840 --> 01:45:01.000 a week. When you you got one hundred and sixty 1633 01:45:01.039 --> 01:45:01.880 two game season. 1634 01:45:02.800 --> 01:45:05.319 The locals in New Jersey were not going to be 1635 01:45:05.359 --> 01:45:07.479 able to support a team the way New York does. 1636 01:45:08.000 --> 01:45:10.520 That was the direct comparison. It was like, yeah, but 1637 01:45:10.600 --> 01:45:12.560 Philadelphia is not a rich city. Yeah, but where are 1638 01:45:12.600 --> 01:45:13.439 you going to put this team? 1639 01:45:13.520 --> 01:45:13.800 Newark? 1640 01:45:15.000 --> 01:45:18.119 You know what I'm saying, It's too close and anybody's 1641 01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:19.640 going to go do I want to watch this new, 1642 01:45:19.680 --> 01:45:23.279 brand new thing that you know has nobody's on it, 1643 01:45:23.279 --> 01:45:25.079 a bunch of broken down old guys and brand new 1644 01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:27.560 rookies because that's what they're going to start with. So 1645 01:45:27.720 --> 01:45:31.079 I want to go even pay for that ticket in Newark? No, 1646 01:45:31.520 --> 01:45:33.159 nobody wants to do that. Where are you gonna put it? 1647 01:45:33.159 --> 01:45:36.319 Atlantic City? Maybe right, because at least there's an airport 1648 01:45:36.399 --> 01:45:39.279 nearby and all this, But these are the two places, right, 1649 01:45:39.319 --> 01:45:41.720 You got Newark in Atlantic City, and Jersey's not that 1650 01:45:41.760 --> 01:45:45.199 big a place, but they seriously considered putting a baseball 1651 01:45:45.279 --> 01:45:48.000 team in there, and then it was decided based on 1652 01:45:48.159 --> 01:45:51.119 the fact that you need to raise a certain amount 1653 01:45:51.119 --> 01:45:55.840 of revenue to maintain even the league's smallest budget when 1654 01:45:55.880 --> 01:45:59.720 it comes to players and everything else, that it was 1655 01:45:59.840 --> 01:46:03.359 like not financially tenable. Like if somebody wanted to buy 1656 01:46:03.439 --> 01:46:06.520 this as like a you know, as like a vanity thing, 1657 01:46:07.119 --> 01:46:09.199 like you know how Trump owned the New Jersey Generals 1658 01:46:09.520 --> 01:46:12.079 back when we had the USFL, that kind of thing 1659 01:46:12.319 --> 01:46:13.159 that was for vanity. 1660 01:46:13.439 --> 01:46:16.279 That wasn't because he was serious about football, you know 1661 01:46:16.319 --> 01:46:16.720 what I mean. 1662 01:46:17.640 --> 01:46:19.359 So the thing is, if somebody wants this as a 1663 01:46:19.439 --> 01:46:21.079 vanity thing, I always wanted to own a team, but 1664 01:46:21.119 --> 01:46:23.399 I can't buy one of these you know, billion dollar teams, 1665 01:46:24.119 --> 01:46:25.960 right because I'm not the guy who owes the Dallas 1666 01:46:26.039 --> 01:46:28.960 Mavericks or I'm not one of these you know billionaires 1667 01:46:29.000 --> 01:46:32.359 from the past. I mean, Steinbrenner was a shipping magnet, right. 1668 01:46:33.439 --> 01:46:35.640 He made his money from big ships and stuff. He 1669 01:46:35.760 --> 01:46:39.359 was building ships. He had a bank to be able 1670 01:46:39.399 --> 01:46:42.439 to start with to put into it. He could put 1671 01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:44.600 big money in and he could pull big money out. 1672 01:46:45.279 --> 01:46:48.800 But like say they put a team in New Jersey, Realistically, 1673 01:46:48.920 --> 01:46:51.359 with the competition the way it is and how much 1674 01:46:51.439 --> 01:46:53.960 you can charge people, locals in New Jersey don't make 1675 01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:57.479 as much. Even the commuters going to New York, they 1676 01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:01.000 don't have as much. So you try and put that there. 1677 01:47:01.159 --> 01:47:05.680 You try and put it in Oregon, or where's another 1678 01:47:05.720 --> 01:47:07.720 good one. If we go down a little bit North Carolina, 1679 01:47:07.800 --> 01:47:11.439 say you put in a Carolina baseball team, the money 1680 01:47:11.560 --> 01:47:15.399 is not going to be there. So you can't field 1681 01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:19.119 a two hundred million dollar roster of players and have 1682 01:47:19.239 --> 01:47:22.680 a stadium, even with the tax breaks which they give 1683 01:47:22.720 --> 01:47:25.159 to these guys, which is another funny thing where it's 1684 01:47:25.239 --> 01:47:27.039 like the city or the state lines up paying for 1685 01:47:27.119 --> 01:47:30.600 the stadiums and all this stuff. In Seattle, they got 1686 01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:34.560 homeless guys. The Mariners, they got homeless guys selling their beer. 1687 01:47:34.840 --> 01:47:39.680 You know this right, No, literally, there are homeless guys 1688 01:47:39.720 --> 01:47:42.279 that line up to go sell beer and stuff and 1689 01:47:42.359 --> 01:47:44.800 go walk around the stadium and make a couple of dollars. 1690 01:47:44.840 --> 01:47:47.199 They don't even have steady employees doing stuff like that 1691 01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:50.399 at the stadium because the Mariners don't have the budget 1692 01:47:50.479 --> 01:47:50.680 for it. 1693 01:47:51.880 --> 01:47:56.680 Okay, like how the. 1694 01:47:58.239 --> 01:48:02.560 Packers pay their uh fans to shovel the snow. 1695 01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:05.119 There you go. How much money is there in Green Bay? 1696 01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:07.000 I mean, I know Green Bay is a staple of 1697 01:48:07.039 --> 01:48:10.760 the NFL and everything, but realistically, can they compete financially 1698 01:48:10.840 --> 01:48:11.800 with the New York Giants. 1699 01:48:11.880 --> 01:48:14.960 The only way they can is because they turn around 1700 01:48:15.000 --> 01:48:17.279 with his revenue sharing and they try and even it out. 1701 01:48:17.640 --> 01:48:20.159 But Major League Baseball, no matter what lip service they've 1702 01:48:20.159 --> 01:48:22.760 ever delivered to that, if you are not in a 1703 01:48:22.880 --> 01:48:26.800 moneyed city, you are not likely to be able to survive. 1704 01:48:26.960 --> 01:48:30.079 This is why, you know, after a while California, because 1705 01:48:30.359 --> 01:48:32.479 why does California have so many teams? Because it's the 1706 01:48:32.520 --> 01:48:35.439 fourth largest economy on the planet. That's the only reason 1707 01:48:35.479 --> 01:48:36.520 why they can support it. 1708 01:48:37.680 --> 01:48:43.479 Right, I can understand that now they're way down. 1709 01:48:43.520 --> 01:48:47.640 But look, but now the Oakland areas are going to leave, 1710 01:48:47.960 --> 01:48:51.119 right So the Oakland A's leaving and a few other 1711 01:48:51.159 --> 01:48:53.439 teams have threatened to leave over the past few years. 1712 01:48:53.720 --> 01:48:56.359 Right, Well, what leason reason for that? 1713 01:48:58.039 --> 01:49:02.119 Because the money in Oakland is not That's why you know, 1714 01:49:02.279 --> 01:49:04.319 they say, give us a new stadium, and they're like, 1715 01:49:04.439 --> 01:49:06.640 we got people crapping on the streets, we got it. 1716 01:49:06.640 --> 01:49:08.079 We got to fix our streets before we give you 1717 01:49:08.159 --> 01:49:10.760 a new stadium. And they want a stadium tax free. 1718 01:49:10.840 --> 01:49:13.840 So somebody like Las Vegas or whatever offered the age. 1719 01:49:13.880 --> 01:49:15.880 I don't know if they're going, but I do know 1720 01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:17.800 the offer was there where it's like, look, we'll build 1721 01:49:17.840 --> 01:49:20.960 you a baseball stadium in Las Vegas, no problem, come 1722 01:49:21.000 --> 01:49:22.800 on in. We'll give you the tax breaks. That's a 1723 01:49:22.920 --> 01:49:27.239 huge thing. Oh yes, that's like Oakland. 1724 01:49:27.600 --> 01:49:29.399 Oakland went back and they went to. 1725 01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:30.479 That's what I'm saying. 1726 01:49:30.640 --> 01:49:33.319 So they're gonna turn around to use so they're gonna 1727 01:49:33.399 --> 01:49:36.800 use revenue from the casinos to support the fact that 1728 01:49:36.840 --> 01:49:39.119 they're not going to charge the baseball team. They'll give 1729 01:49:39.159 --> 01:49:42.399 them a decade tax three over there, and so that 1730 01:49:42.560 --> 01:49:44.880 tax break right there will pay for half of their roster, 1731 01:49:45.600 --> 01:49:46.800 whether fans show up or not. 1732 01:49:47.560 --> 01:49:51.119 You see, yeah, I see what you're saying, sotand it now. 1733 01:49:51.359 --> 01:49:54.000 So my point is, okay, yeah you can get like okay, 1734 01:49:54.039 --> 01:49:57.560 you got like stay in Texas. Texas, huge state, big contributor. 1735 01:49:57.600 --> 01:50:00.239 They've been growing, their economy is doing well. But can 1736 01:50:00.359 --> 01:50:05.840 they support more than the Astros right and the Rangers. 1737 01:50:08.479 --> 01:50:12.920 I'd really like to see a Marfa team emerge. What 1738 01:50:12.960 --> 01:50:13.960 do you mean marka team. 1739 01:50:14.239 --> 01:50:17.279 It's a tiny little it's a tiny little place in 1740 01:50:17.640 --> 01:50:18.319 West Texas. 1741 01:50:18.399 --> 01:50:21.880 It's a tiny little desert spot. A team emerged there. 1742 01:50:22.000 --> 01:50:24.560 Oh you mean in like Marfa, Texas? Or Okay, yeah 1743 01:50:26.239 --> 01:50:29.119 you said Texas. I thought I mentioned some remote Yeah. 1744 01:50:29.159 --> 01:50:31.680 But if you wanted to put the San Antonio Stars 1745 01:50:31.760 --> 01:50:34.239 baseball team into existence right now, you couldn't do it. 1746 01:50:34.479 --> 01:50:37.199 I'm just telling you, like that city will not support 1747 01:50:37.279 --> 01:50:39.039 a team. It just can't. 1748 01:50:39.760 --> 01:50:42.359 How about this, You know, Alabama probably would love to 1749 01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:46.319 have a baseball team, but the state has broke. Kentucky 1750 01:50:46.520 --> 01:50:48.079 another place. Who's in Kentucky? 1751 01:50:48.159 --> 01:50:48.920 Anybody? No? 1752 01:50:50.000 --> 01:50:52.760 You know you got Missouri does better than any of 1753 01:50:52.840 --> 01:50:55.199 these places. They got two They got two teams, one 1754 01:50:55.279 --> 01:50:58.760 in each league. Right still, the Cardinals and the Royals 1755 01:50:59.279 --> 01:51:05.399 are both in Missourhurry right. Yes, you got Pennsylvania, which 1756 01:51:05.520 --> 01:51:07.560 is a mixed bag, but on the two ends of 1757 01:51:07.600 --> 01:51:10.720 Pennsylvania where there's money. See, they got Philly in the 1758 01:51:10.760 --> 01:51:14.039 east and they got Pittsburgh in the west. People don't 1759 01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:17.680 realize how big a state Pennsylvania is, so there is 1760 01:51:17.760 --> 01:51:19.880 a huge divide there the middle of that state, though, 1761 01:51:19.920 --> 01:51:21.399 is there any money in the middle of that state. 1762 01:51:21.520 --> 01:51:23.560 I mean, we don't know what the Amish really have. 1763 01:51:23.840 --> 01:51:26.800 I could attest to you that there are not there 1764 01:51:26.840 --> 01:51:27.840 is not money there. 1765 01:51:28.479 --> 01:51:32.000 You do not see a Mercedes Benz driving anywhere in 1766 01:51:32.119 --> 01:51:35.880 central Pennsylvania. Maybe in Harrisburg, but not many of them, right, 1767 01:51:36.079 --> 01:51:36.479 I mean. 1768 01:51:36.399 --> 01:51:40.119 I'm super surprised that the Pittsburgh Pirates have not been 1769 01:51:40.199 --> 01:51:42.479 picked up by another place. 1770 01:51:42.840 --> 01:51:46.119 Okay, like like Florida. I think Florida should have the 1771 01:51:46.199 --> 01:51:48.239 money to be able to support more than one team. 1772 01:51:49.000 --> 01:51:53.279 Oh yeah, yeah, they could go to Pittsburgh. That would 1773 01:51:53.319 --> 01:51:56.560 knock out those morlins to get them. So one's out 1774 01:51:56.600 --> 01:51:57.039 of the well. 1775 01:51:57.039 --> 01:51:59.560 If you put the Florida Pirates, you know what I'm saying, 1776 01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:02.079 If you put whatever you wanted to name him, I 1777 01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:03.840 don't know, put them near Disney over there or something 1778 01:52:03.920 --> 01:52:07.800 right where, you know what I mean? Orlando, Orlando, the 1779 01:52:08.000 --> 01:52:11.079 Orlando Pirates plant. 1780 01:52:11.199 --> 01:52:11.880 Put the plant? 1781 01:52:12.000 --> 01:52:17.000 Yeah, now could they? Would you say in Orlando? Now 1782 01:52:17.680 --> 01:52:22.439 do you think if they decided that's for example, say okay, 1783 01:52:23.079 --> 01:52:30.119 I'm going to Orlando pitch I mean, uh, the Pirates say, 1784 01:52:30.600 --> 01:52:34.119 and would you think they'd be able to make a feel. 1785 01:52:34.199 --> 01:52:36.159 Well, see It depends on what kind of a deal 1786 01:52:36.439 --> 01:52:38.439 de Santa Stan wants to make for him. Right. 1787 01:52:38.479 --> 01:52:41.600 You know, there's a the Santas State and people literally 1788 01:52:41.800 --> 01:52:43.920 live there called the Santa Stan by the way, like 1789 01:52:44.159 --> 01:52:47.039 like he's running his own republic over there. But because 1790 01:52:47.079 --> 01:52:49.199 he's if he wasn't at war with Disney, I'll tell 1791 01:52:49.199 --> 01:52:50.159 you it'll be an easy thing. 1792 01:52:50.720 --> 01:52:53.119 All you'd have to do is you kind of tweak. 1793 01:52:52.880 --> 01:52:55.319 The Pirates logos and stuff a little bit, and you 1794 01:52:55.399 --> 01:52:57.319 make them like, you know, as if they're the Orlando 1795 01:52:57.479 --> 01:53:01.199 Pirates of the Caribbean, right, and it's like that ship. 1796 01:53:01.520 --> 01:53:03.479 That's how that I watch you couple. 1797 01:53:03.319 --> 01:53:04.479 Them up with Disney. 1798 01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:08.000 Right, so you have Mickey Mouse at the ballpark and 1799 01:53:08.119 --> 01:53:10.600 you get like a special brand new just because of 1800 01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:12.920 the new city. You get a new pirate that looks 1801 01:53:12.920 --> 01:53:14.880 a lot more like Johnny Depp than that that that 1802 01:53:15.000 --> 01:53:18.239 pirate they got, right, and then sometimes you have them 1803 01:53:18.239 --> 01:53:20.680 in the classic unitport. I'm telling you it's instant marketing 1804 01:53:20.800 --> 01:53:23.000 success the Pirates. 1805 01:53:23.039 --> 01:53:29.920 That would be supply that does make Johnny token owner. Yeah, 1806 01:53:29.960 --> 01:53:32.720 make Johnny Depp a token owner, right, give them one 1807 01:53:32.760 --> 01:53:33.560 percent of the team. 1808 01:53:33.600 --> 01:53:36.640 You know he's got money. Well, give me don't have money. 1809 01:53:36.680 --> 01:53:37.920 He's been doing all these shows. 1810 01:53:38.000 --> 01:53:39.520 Well, I'm not telling it saying give it to him 1811 01:53:39.520 --> 01:53:42.239 for free. What I'm saying, let him buy in for 1812 01:53:42.319 --> 01:53:44.680 one percent of the team, so he's got a little 1813 01:53:44.680 --> 01:53:48.319 bit of a stake, right, And then you know, Johnny 1814 01:53:48.359 --> 01:53:50.239 Depp is part owner of the Even if you're on 1815 01:53:50.319 --> 01:53:52.119 two percent of the team, he'd be the only guy 1816 01:53:52.119 --> 01:53:55.880 they would talk about. So I'm telling you it's all built, 1817 01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:58.000 it's all pap right in. You can move the Pirates 1818 01:53:58.119 --> 01:53:59.880 to Florida tomorrow and. 1819 01:54:00.039 --> 01:54:02.039 Even put them in a hurricane disaster area. 1820 01:54:02.439 --> 01:54:06.000 In six months, the whole place would be revived, no problem. 1821 01:54:06.239 --> 01:54:08.520 But if you tried to move the Pirates to New Jersey, 1822 01:54:08.840 --> 01:54:09.199 it's over. 1823 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:12.439 There's no New Jersey that. 1824 01:54:12.560 --> 01:54:15.800 The chief can make it because of the money situation 1825 01:54:16.840 --> 01:54:20.720 and the proximity to the city. Yeah, but what about 1826 01:54:20.920 --> 01:54:25.239 like the Barter District, like Elizabeth Town or wherever it is. 1827 01:54:25.359 --> 01:54:26.560 There's a lot of money that way. 1828 01:54:26.920 --> 01:54:29.600 No, it's horrible. You don't understand. I'm telling you. People 1829 01:54:29.680 --> 01:54:32.840 do not do stuff locally. They don't. 1830 01:54:33.039 --> 01:54:35.960 Even this was one of the challenges with the music 1831 01:54:36.039 --> 01:54:37.960 scenes that have come and gone with New Jersey. Where 1832 01:54:37.960 --> 01:54:40.119 it's like we have these temporary music scenes pop up, 1833 01:54:40.720 --> 01:54:42.399 and Asbury Park was one of them. 1834 01:54:42.640 --> 01:54:44.920 But it took them thirty years. 1835 01:54:45.159 --> 01:54:50.079 To revitalize Asbury Park. They couldn't get construction or the 1836 01:54:50.199 --> 01:54:55.199 gentrification off the ground for over thirty years in Asbury Park. Okay, 1837 01:54:55.680 --> 01:54:58.079 I'm telling you, Jersey is not the place to go. 1838 01:54:58.199 --> 01:55:00.520 It's a sinkhole for money. It's not a place where 1839 01:55:00.520 --> 01:55:03.600 you make money. And even in that areas you're talking 1840 01:55:03.640 --> 01:55:07.159 about during the time when it was like a massive 1841 01:55:07.199 --> 01:55:09.199 you know, chemical they were putting out, you know, tons 1842 01:55:09.239 --> 01:55:11.680 and tons of chemical crap, and you know, the e 1843 01:55:11.760 --> 01:55:15.600 PA wasn't regulating them to death pre Nixon, pre Nixon, 1844 01:55:15.760 --> 01:55:18.800 that part of Jersey plenty of money there. You know, 1845 01:55:18.960 --> 01:55:23.319 you could add the New Jersey petro Chemicals, name it right, whatever, 1846 01:55:23.359 --> 01:55:25.119 it wouldn't have mattered, the New Jersey. 1847 01:55:25.119 --> 01:55:27.800 Landfills, it would have been great. Whatever, it would have 1848 01:55:27.840 --> 01:55:31.159 been hysterical, it would have been a joke, or even 1849 01:55:31.239 --> 01:55:36.079 the best thing would have been or more New Jersey Devils. 1850 01:55:36.199 --> 01:55:39.680 Continue on with the legendary devils. Oh yeah, the. 1851 01:55:42.239 --> 01:55:44.520 Doubles, you know, and then you could the hockey. You 1852 01:55:44.640 --> 01:55:46.520 couple it up with the hockey. Now all of a sudden, 1853 01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:48.600 the jersey is so bad. 1854 01:55:48.760 --> 01:55:51.279 It's got two devils. Baby, you know what I'm saying. 1855 01:55:51.319 --> 01:55:54.159 And you just do it like that. And uh, there's 1856 01:55:54.279 --> 01:55:55.760 all sorts of markets. 1857 01:55:56.119 --> 01:56:01.039 The Texas to have the Colts and the forty five. 1858 01:56:02.319 --> 01:56:03.279 You know what there was? 1859 01:56:04.279 --> 01:56:06.279 Now, wait a minute, there was a Cults. There was 1860 01:56:06.319 --> 01:56:14.079 a baseball Coults team too. Did you know that? Yeah, 1861 01:56:14.159 --> 01:56:15.560 let me let me take a look at the history. 1862 01:56:15.680 --> 01:56:17.760 I don't think they existed long, but let me still 1863 01:56:17.800 --> 01:56:19.840 what I think. I think we're at the end of 1864 01:56:19.880 --> 01:56:20.800 the show here, every. 1865 01:56:20.800 --> 01:56:22.760 Well, we are, but the show. We'll have a good 1866 01:56:22.800 --> 01:56:24.840 conversation at the end of the show. 1867 01:56:24.880 --> 01:56:29.079 Okay before you exactly listen, No, we don't have a yet, Aaron. 1868 01:56:29.159 --> 01:56:32.119 Uncle calm down, everybody calm down. You got five minutes 1869 01:56:32.159 --> 01:56:36.680 over because Uncle started a little late. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, 1870 01:56:36.760 --> 01:56:38.600 so you got five extra minutes, so you got your 1871 01:56:38.640 --> 01:56:39.920 time for your shoutouts and everything. 1872 01:56:39.920 --> 01:56:41.680 Don't worry about it. And I'll shut up after I. 1873 01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:44.000 Find out the thing about the cold forty five Okay, 1874 01:56:45.880 --> 01:56:47.119 goes downstate the. 1875 01:56:49.920 --> 01:56:50.159 Time. 1876 01:56:52.199 --> 01:56:54.279 It's gonna turn them in. Now I'm gonna have to 1877 01:56:54.359 --> 01:56:57.680 call back in because it kicks me off or something. 1878 01:56:58.720 --> 01:56:59.800 All Right, you ready for this one. 1879 01:57:00.600 --> 01:57:04.439 In nineteen sixty two, the Houston Colt forty five's were 1880 01:57:04.479 --> 01:57:10.199 an expansion team in the American Major League Baseball's National League. Okay, 1881 01:57:10.279 --> 01:57:14.520 so they were a National League expansion team in nineteen 1882 01:57:14.640 --> 01:57:15.199 sixty two. 1883 01:57:17.239 --> 01:57:19.920 How come we haven't noticed these teams? 1884 01:57:20.560 --> 01:57:23.800 As what was said was we're handing them forgotten because 1885 01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:25.279 they didn't exist very long. 1886 01:57:26.239 --> 01:57:29.680 That's the thing. So I'm looking at this page here 1887 01:57:29.760 --> 01:57:31.479 and it's not telling me how long they existed. 1888 01:57:31.560 --> 01:57:34.119 But they were an expansion team in sixty two, which 1889 01:57:34.199 --> 01:57:35.520 is funny because they come. 1890 01:57:35.479 --> 01:57:36.439 In the same year the Mets. 1891 01:57:36.479 --> 01:57:40.399 Doo ooh see there was two. 1892 01:57:40.760 --> 01:57:43.720 They always have the two expansion teams right every time. 1893 01:57:44.479 --> 01:57:47.039 So they came in with the Mets in sixty to 1894 01:57:47.119 --> 01:57:49.319 sixty two. The Mets lost what one hundred and twenty 1895 01:57:49.399 --> 01:57:52.279 five games or something ridiculous, like almost every game they 1896 01:57:52.359 --> 01:57:53.119 pretty much lost. 1897 01:57:53.680 --> 01:57:56.079 I mean, their catcher's name was Choo Choo Coleman, I 1898 01:57:56.199 --> 01:58:00.840 kid you not ch and the guy who. 1899 01:58:00.760 --> 01:58:04.560 Became a famous uh San Francisco Giants manager Roger Craig 1900 01:58:05.039 --> 01:58:06.840 played third base for them. He was probably one of 1901 01:58:06.920 --> 01:58:10.479 their best players in sixty two, and seven years later 1902 01:58:10.680 --> 01:58:11.640 they won the World Series. 1903 01:58:13.720 --> 01:58:14.439 He played ball. 1904 01:58:14.760 --> 01:58:17.479 Roger Craig played third base for the nineteen sixty two Mets. 1905 01:58:19.079 --> 01:58:19.800 Absolutely did. 1906 01:58:19.920 --> 01:58:21.359 I'll be damn yeah. 1907 01:58:21.399 --> 01:58:26.359 I used to have a yeah, no, you look, you 1908 01:58:26.399 --> 01:58:28.079 can check with Eddie next time we talked to him. 1909 01:58:28.079 --> 01:58:29.439 I guarantee you back me up on that. 1910 01:58:29.520 --> 01:58:30.840 But it just off the top of my head, these 1911 01:58:30.960 --> 01:58:33.760 things I know about the initial Mets. It's so funny 1912 01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:36.800 because they used to half celebrate the inauguration because it 1913 01:58:36.840 --> 01:58:39.680 was so embarrassing. Was the worst start of any expansion 1914 01:58:39.720 --> 01:58:40.399 team in history. 1915 01:58:42.880 --> 01:58:43.960 The JFK guy. 1916 01:58:44.079 --> 01:58:46.880 Remember Roger Craig, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 1917 01:58:46.840 --> 01:58:49.359 But you remember Roger Craig, the San Francisco Giant manager 1918 01:58:49.359 --> 01:58:50.279 I'm talking about. 1919 01:58:50.119 --> 01:58:51.560 Right, Yeah. 1920 01:58:53.479 --> 01:58:56.640 I'm proud of amusing that they had the same name. No, 1921 01:58:56.840 --> 01:58:59.000 me too, and Roger. 1922 01:58:59.760 --> 01:59:02.399 It is amusing, But again it's two common names. You 1923 01:59:02.479 --> 01:59:04.079 got to figure they got to come together here and 1924 01:59:04.119 --> 01:59:07.520 there in history. Right, Roger not exactly an uncommon My 1925 01:59:07.920 --> 01:59:10.239 one grandfather's name was Roger, one of the Irish ones 1926 01:59:11.039 --> 01:59:14.159 uh and uh and and Craig Craig is not exactly 1927 01:59:14.640 --> 01:59:16.920 an uncommon first or last name, right. 1928 01:59:18.359 --> 01:59:22.720 So you know, it's just just that is like once 1929 01:59:22.880 --> 01:59:25.840 I was overseas and I swear these British people were 1930 01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:30.920 trying to test my military discipline with these names. Here 1931 01:59:31.039 --> 01:59:33.119 comes Sir Michael Jackson. 1932 01:59:33.399 --> 01:59:35.600 I said, a lot of that's. 1933 01:59:35.439 --> 01:59:40.319 Done on purpose, a lot of that's done on You 1934 01:59:40.399 --> 01:59:42.279 got to feel bad for somebody though, that gets hung 1935 01:59:42.359 --> 01:59:44.119 with a name, like somebody thought it was a clever 1936 01:59:44.239 --> 01:59:46.640 idea when they were born. Like I'll tell you the truth, 1937 01:59:46.760 --> 01:59:49.279 I knew probably about I don't know, nine or ten 1938 01:59:49.359 --> 01:59:53.119 kids over the years that were named Michael Jackson. You know, 1939 01:59:53.279 --> 01:59:55.840 like their last name was Jackson. And because the family 1940 01:59:56.039 --> 01:59:58.479 like Michael, like even a little bit older than me, 1941 01:59:58.600 --> 02:00:02.359 so like the kids worn in nineteen seventy And why 1942 02:00:02.439 --> 02:00:04.319 did they name him that? Because Michael Jackson was a 1943 02:00:04.359 --> 02:00:07.239 little kid on TV. Right, he was already famous as 1944 02:00:07.239 --> 02:00:09.359 a little kid. So they're like thinking, I'll give him 1945 02:00:09.399 --> 02:00:10.680 a star's name, you know what I mean? 1946 02:00:11.479 --> 02:00:12.319 Yeah, did you know? 1947 02:00:12.680 --> 02:00:14.760 Did you know something about Michael Jackson? 1948 02:00:15.000 --> 02:00:17.039 I know a lot of things about Michael Jackson.

I never knew that. 1955 02:00:32.279 --> 02:00:34.399 I knew that he was a little kid, you know, 1956 02:00:36.119 --> 02:00:39.319 around the time that like I was a little kid, 1957 02:00:39.359 --> 02:00:41.920 and I was watching reruns of TV shows that he 1958 02:00:42.079 --> 02:00:44.800 was on as a little kid from like seven eight, 1959 02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:45.720 ten years earlier. 1960 02:00:46.159 --> 02:00:49.239 That's all I knew. And they had the Jackson five cartoons. 1961 02:00:49.840 --> 02:00:53.920 Actually, I didn't know that until so when he passed, 1962 02:00:54.359 --> 02:00:56.840 they showed him this is when who was born? 1963 02:00:57.720 --> 02:00:58.640 This when he died. 1964 02:00:59.279 --> 02:01:02.520 So they show it that to say when he was bulling, 1965 02:01:02.720 --> 02:01:05.600 and I looked at that, said, yeah. 1966 02:01:06.199 --> 02:01:09.960 I was born August August twenty nine, nineteen fifty eight. Apparently. Yeah, 1967 02:01:10.439 --> 02:01:11.000 I didn't know that. 1968 02:01:12.520 --> 02:01:13.079 Fifty eight. 1969 02:01:13.680 --> 02:01:16.000 Yeah, well, uncle, do we want to shot outs?

The reason 1976 02:01:33.640 --> 02:01:36.000 why they didn't exist too long is because they became 1977 02:01:36.159 --> 02:01:38.880 guess who the Houston Astros. 1978 02:01:40.119 --> 02:01:45.359 Oh boy, Oh, so they came pumed up being the Astros. 1979 02:01:45.479 --> 02:01:50.199 Oh, uncle, forty five boys.
