Bogman 9 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.159 put together. I think there's some ESPN article out there 10 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.560 that which we will just do some commentary on of 11 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.640 likely prospects that could go, opportunities that could open up, 12 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.679 and then of course the players, the players themselves, the 13 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.560 rumors that are floating out there, some hilarious stuff. I'm 14 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.320 gonna save it not to like get into it at 15 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.200 the top, but like there's just some I just see 16 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.520 these hilarious I just say the one thing when I 17 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.920 see like, oh, the Red Sox wants CJ Abrams so bad. 18 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.039 They It's like, yeah, dull, everybody wants them. Like I 19 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.560 see these reports like it's like, guys, they're really going 20 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:02.840 after it. It's like, do you know what you're gonna 21 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.640 have to give up to give get c J Abrams. 22 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:05.280 So we'll see what the. 23 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.200 Trade do in the bad Santa. Yeah, well one in 24 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.280 one hand and s in the other, and yeah which 25 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:10.719 one fills up first? Yeah? 26 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.560 Really cool report. Would you guys also like Otani? What 27 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.079 about Agunya? What do you guys think this? 28 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.879 Just in Scott Bogman would like to have sex with 29 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.400 the Anna day Armis. Look at that. I cannot believe that. 30 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.599 That is shocking, shocking development. Everybody look at that. 31 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.519 It is the billy Bob thing. Put the Billy Bob 32 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.680 in there. But I mean, I guess there was a 33 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.359 time where cj. Abrams was, like, you know, heavily in 34 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.239 trade rumors. But he's going to be more just because 35 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.359 he's just so sought after. So that's what we can discuss. 36 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:37.000 You know. 37 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.359 There there are the likely big names, there's the less likely, 38 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.760 there's the big names that feel less likely, and then 39 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.239 I don't know, frankly, there's I feel like every year 40 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.719 there's like a surprise. There's like somebody that we just 41 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.439 don't quite have an expectation for that's gonna get moved though. 42 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.719 The thing I do think that is missing this year 43 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.319 is the one trade that happens like a month or 44 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.719 a couple of weeks before. I mean, like, wasn't it 45 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:00.840 like the Luisa Rise one that happened like a year 46 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.920 or two ago. Maybe I'm forgetting what it was last year, 47 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.599 but I do feel like there's always like the trade 48 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.319 that happens before and then there's like a base trade. Yeah, 49 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.240 there's a little pre trade in there, and the teams 50 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.039 have protected them all there trade. Yeah, they're they're protecting 51 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.240 from pre trade because pre trade comes. You gotta numb 52 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.719 yourself up to not pre trade. And what I say, 53 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.159 I mean pre trade can have somebody pretty good. 54 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.000 I like to do a trade early just so I 55 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.520 don't pre trade, like right, Like, just do a trade 56 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.840 a couple months early. That way, don't before you go 57 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.400 out yeah yeah yeah. 58 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.199 Yeah, go out into the season going to yeah. 59 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.159 Yeah, Well, you don't want to look foolish in trade 60 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.560 too early, That's what I'm saying. 61 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.400 Yeah, I exactly, everyone's gonna judge you. They're gonna talk, 62 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.719 all the teams are gonna talk amongst themselves and be like, 63 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.759 oh do you hear that one he trades early? 64 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.080 So sorry everybody. This feels like a Marguerita Friday here 65 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.360 by the way, and it's not this is a loopy 66 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.159 Friday for me. I got like barely any sleep, so 67 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:56.360 I'm weird. 68 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.319 I literally just got back from the Odyssey, so like 69 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.479 I'm in a weird space too. 70 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.360 Yeah, this guy's been on a journey today and I'm 71 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:04.680 and I'm on a lack of sleep. 72 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.319 So on an odyssey, I was for sure. But yeah, 73 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.520 we're talking about the trade. That's what it was. 74 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.680 This episode is oh, come on, dad, joke, come on boo. 75 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.280 But we're talking about the trade deadline and all the 76 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.039 names that are kind of floating out there. It's about 77 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.199 a week away. I think this is a good time 78 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.039 to do this because we are going to start being 79 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.199 being into reacting mode about the trades. We're going to 80 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.159 start within next week. You know, this weekend is probably 81 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.479 going to be a pretty big precursor to what that 82 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:33.800 what those are going to start looking like, and we 83 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.599 might start having them sprinkle in and stuff, and really, 84 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.800 you know, we don't. I mean, I suppose you could 85 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.879 do this like a couple of days before of it, 86 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.639 but like, these are the big names that are floating 87 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.360 out there, So I think it's a good primer for 88 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.080 us to kind of talk through it, and then as 89 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.360 well as the prospects. I think because you had mentioned 90 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.639 what we're going to do is Kyle McDaniel had put 91 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.039 together likely prospects that we're going to be dealt, and 92 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.400 we can kind of navigate. 93 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.000 These teams by these are the prospects that are likely 94 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.520 to be dealt. Because he also listed untouchables that that 95 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.039 he considered untouchables, so I didn't put those in just Theah. 96 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:08.319 Let's not do the who entire articles. 97 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.360 So people, well, yeah, yeah, I'm just saying, you know, 98 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.000 I want you did the right reaction from the article. 99 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.719 That's okay, yeah yeah, but that's also the right move. 100 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.680 We don't want to like have the entire article up them. 101 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.360 It's on ESPN. It was I think Passon and McDonald 102 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:20.480 wrote them both together. 103 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:22.279 Was it paywall or not paywall? 104 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:23.360 I think it might be. 105 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.600 That's why I'm saying, that's why we don't want. 106 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.079 To do it. Yeah yeah, but but go go to 107 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.680 ESPN support, go support the little guy. Make sure they 108 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.800 really they really need it. They really need when they're well, 109 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.759 they're firing a bunch of people, obviously they need it. 110 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.759 So what do you think about the whole like they're 111 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.199 doing it because of Pat McAfee, and it's like, no, 112 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.560 they're just doing it because like they're overweight in everything 113 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.639 that they do. And I think the whole companty like Disney, 114 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.120 so like a Disney brand is doing it. And then 115 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.000 you know you, I think you saw it in Marvel. 116 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.240 Marvel had like an element of it. And ESPN is 117 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.600 doing it. And I mean, obviously names that hurt. 118 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.759 But I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and defend 119 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.079 anything to do. I don't really care. But I did 120 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.439 also read that this was a move that some actors 121 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.639 have done also, and Pat McAfee did it where he 122 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.399 created his own production company for his show, so it's 123 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.560 not just him and his show. It's also they're paying 124 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.879 for his entire production company too, so that. 125 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.399 That's what the big brands do, so they can't like 126 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.519 go fire you know, some editor that's a part of 127 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.680 the show. It's like, no, when they when they hire 128 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.720 Pat McAfee, they're hiring through the production company. So when 129 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.279 you see that Pat McAfee is making sixty million dollars 130 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.120 a year, that's like to the production company. I mean, 131 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.639 Pat McAfee's probably making forty million dollars a year, but 132 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.360 you know he's putting it back into all the people 133 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.600 that work their salaries and stuff like that, so we're 134 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.040 not gonna we're not gonna cry poor God. Who was 135 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.720 it I just saw man. I loved the comment. Oh 136 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.839 it was the Barstoo guy. Actually it was Roan if 137 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.480 anyone ever watches any of those shows, and it really 138 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.680 resonated home with me where he was like, Dude, the 139 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.759 trend I hate more than anything else athletes complaining about 140 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.959 is the athlete that are pretending to be poor because 141 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.000 of taxes. And he said he's like, he's like, yeah, 142 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.120 you got these guys that make twenty million dollars and 143 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.240 they're like yeah, but you know, Uncle Sam takes fifty and. 144 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.560 You're just getting this positioning from everybody, though you're getting 145 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.879 it from the players. Have you seen the commercials? No? 146 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.720 No, but but finish well, let me finish the fine. 147 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.160 Because the thing that he says is he goes he's like, 148 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.439 you know, uncle Sam's gonna take fifty, and he's like, yeah, 149 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.160 you do know that everybody gets taxed by the way, 150 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.680 and then then then they'll go to a new narrative 151 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.240 where they're like, yeah, but I had to, you know, 152 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.480 pay off one hundred and fifty thousand. I got to 153 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.160 get my mom one hundred fifty thousand dollars car. And 154 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.360 it is so tone deaf, like we give two craps 155 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.879 about any of this stuff when when you do this, 156 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.120 when you know, we're like can I can I please 157 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.839 make what you were going to buy your mom a 158 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.399 car for? That's miss of it. I think it's later. 159 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.720 It was just something that I loved hearing because we've 160 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.639 we're getting such a huge, huge push of that stuff. 161 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.800 I mean, baseball is their narrative. Literally is like fans 162 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.879 being like, all, I just want a creditive balance, you know, 163 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.199 it's like a Tim Robinson like, hmm, I just want 164 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.839 competitive balance. It's like literally nobody I know talks about 165 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.439 that nor cares at all. Right, they want to not 166 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.560 have their games blacked out. They want to be able 167 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.600 to afford the gas to get to a game if 168 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.680 they're ever going to go to a game, And that's 169 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.199 about it. And then they just want to like watch 170 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.279 cool baseball. They want the baseballs to not change halfway 171 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.519 through this season. They want ams to not be the 172 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.560 worst person at their job. That's ever existed. Those are 173 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.560 the things that people care about. 174 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.319 I have no issue with all these amps getting chased 175 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.120 by the way. Yay, bye bye Buckner, You've been miserable 176 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:37.160 for fifteen years. Goodbye, good riddance. Yeah, and you're right. 177 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.040 It's the posturing from both sides before a lockout. It's disgusting, right, 178 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.439 the players who will only make this after time. Yeah, 179 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:45.759 everybody pays TAXI. 180 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.720 We all pay it. We all don't make what we make. 181 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.000 And the owners putting commercials on like, oh, look at 182 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.439 fans pulled want. 183 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.240 That's what I'm talking about. Then some stupid ass fan, 184 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.720 You know what I really want? Competitive balance? 185 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.399 It's like, shut up, Yeah, I mean out of here, 186 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.600 you're you're a human being. It's both sides trying to 187 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.720 make themselves look good before both holding out for more money. 188 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.040 And who gets screwed? We do because we don't get 189 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.279 the sport that we want, right, So it's just it's gross. 190 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.240 I'm already sick of it and it hasn't even happened yet. 191 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.199 I remember what the context of any of this. 192 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.399 Was, but it was two old men ranting about stuff. 193 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.360 Yeah, how do we even get there? I didn't even 194 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.639 know how we got on all that stuff. But yeah, 195 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:28.040 balance huh. 196 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.439 I think we were talking about ESPN and oh. 197 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.600 Yeah, yeah, the ESPN firing and stuff like that, and 198 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.879 it's yeah, I mean, it stinks to see that happen 199 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.159 anywhere in any capacity and stuff like that, especially when 200 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.120 there's some I. 201 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.559 Love the like the revision is history too. They're like, uh, 202 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.200 look at the Ryan Clark was fired because this argument 203 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.720 with Peter Schreger, which was idiotic by Ryan Clark. But 204 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.440 that was also like six months ago. If they were 205 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.559 going to fire him over this argument with Peter Schreger, 206 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.320 why wouldn't they have done it six months ago? 207 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.639 I will say, I don't understand why he like did 208 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.200 the show and they like pulled it like you know 209 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.639 what I'm saying, Like they said they were gonna like 210 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.279 pull them the neck. Did you read that whole thing where 211 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.360 they were gonna like fire him on Tuesday and he 212 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.039 was on a show on Monday, and then because everything leaked, 213 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.519 they wanted to just quickly do it, so it happened 214 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.120 like the minute he got off of it. That was 215 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.360 kind of weird, But I don't know, I wasn't a I. 216 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.279 Mean, just don't let your firings leak. Don't have people 217 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.120 that are gonna leak that stuff. Find out where it's 218 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:24.720 coming from. 219 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.919 Well they I think they started doing it to people 220 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.559 on Monday, and it's like, well, you're probably gonna have 221 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.240 to do it with everybody then sorry, guys. 222 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.919 Yeah, I mean drop the axe on everybody at the 223 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.879 same time when we're doing I don't know, I don't 224 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.320 know what's going on. Carl Ravage, Poor Karl Ravage. Dude's 225 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.360 been there for like I know I'm talking. 226 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.360 About that of all the people, I think everybody had, 227 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.639 like there's a fondness of like dang, you know, but 228 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.440 a little bit don't want to get into it, but 229 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:52.039 like I very obviously everybody uh recent events as well. 230 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.919 When you see people lose their jobs and stuff, you 231 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.759 get like very concerned for the human being and things 232 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.200 like that. But like take Diana 'resini for instance, She's 233 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.960 just like, oh man, what a raw deal, And this 234 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.840 is like should we really did? And then you learn 235 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.600 she makes nine hundred thousand dollars a year and it's like, well, 236 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.080 we're gonna be a little bit better than if I 237 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.200 lose my job. We're gonna be a little bit better 238 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.279 if we're Diana Roussini and you're making nine hundred thousand 239 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.440 dollars year or your car rabbit right who's may probably 240 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.240 making over a million dollars, and it's like that. 241 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.080 That's and Diana Roussini quit, she quit to not be investigating. 242 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.399 I'm yeah, I'm sure it was quit. 243 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.960 No, she did quit. She did because she didn't want 244 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.399 to be investigated, because she was, you know, looked the 245 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.159 evidence looks like she was trading. 246 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.679 I'm sure there was a mutual backing to say, yeah, yeah, 247 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.200 there are plenty of jobs that are just like you know, hey, 248 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.399 we can fire you or you can quit. 249 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.600 Well, what what I think what happened with the Athletic 250 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.759 was in the New York Times is they said, okay, 251 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.240 we're going to investigate, and they were going to find 252 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.480 out what other people have already put together. So she 253 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:57.440 probably should just let them fire her anyway. But people 254 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.679 put together that every big tightened story while Mike Frabile 255 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.120 was head coach was broken by Diana Rasini. 256 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:05.960 So I know all those things. I'm just saying, like 257 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.840 I've been around those I've heard these conversations before. I 258 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.240 know she quit, but there was probably a nice little 259 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.840 package waiting for her so ESPN could be done of it, 260 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.240 they could be clean of it. She didn't want to 261 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.159 get investigated, she wasn't going to help with it. They 262 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.519 wanted out of it. So there's a nice mutual parting 263 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.159 that was coaxed up as she quit. But what some 264 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.679 kind of package, whatever the side of it. Thank you box, 265 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.879 Thank you Dad. You give on me about dad jokes. 266 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.200 Get the hell out of here, dude. So I don't 267 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.240 know how we got through that, but here's what I 268 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.639 can tell you. In this league dot com. In this league, 269 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.639 dot com is where you need to be joining up today, 270 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.480 support your boys. I actually have the I've sucked at it. 271 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.759 This week has been the literally the most crazy week 272 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.960 of my life. Well not true, but work wise it's 273 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.840 been insane. In this league dot com, I have the 274 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.159 Prospect five hundred and dynasty staring at me. I just 275 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.080 have got to go get it posted. So that is 276 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.480 what I'm going to be doing. Uh, probably a little bit. 277 00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.039 I have a CBS hit tonight, but that'll be part 278 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.080 of my process tonight. But in this league, dot com 279 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.600 is where you can see the top five hundred, the 280 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.799 top four hundred to five hundred prospects, Top four hundred dynasty. 281 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.399 I've got seventy five plus on the first year players, 282 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.639 So you guys can get prepared for that and more. 283 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.759 You can get access to that being a sergeant in 284 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.639 the ITL Army. You go and sign up, or you 285 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.840 can be a lieutenant and you can act access to 286 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.480 the group. Me rooms be a part of the stuff 287 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.759 that we do. Talk to the community. Go in those rooms, 288 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.840 have access to us. And on top of it all, 289 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.600 you're supporting in this league, and we very much, very 290 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.720 much appreciate you supporting in this league. It helps us 291 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.759 go around. And you know, in this league is why 292 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.440 we don't have to create fake charity events to be 293 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.399 able to make a podcast bogs. You know what I mean. 294 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.440 We don't have to do ninety two leagues. Not saying 295 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.039 anybody I know has done that, but they do just 296 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.759 as a hypothetical thing. We because we have so many 297 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:49.799 great people that support us or want us to succeed, 298 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.200 it allows us to keep going. You know, you don't 299 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.879 we don't have to create ninety seven ninety two fake 300 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.000 charity leagues and stuff like that. 301 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:04.759 Yeah, absolutely no, neither do I. So I give you 302 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.639 a round of applause for what you just did. So 303 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.440 appreciate that. 304 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:11.159 Also do a scouting school. No, I's just an idea. 305 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.080 I had, just random idea. 306 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:14.720 Oh okay, yeah, you know what, I think. I want 307 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.480 to give you a bunch of money for that right now. 308 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.639 But also in things that Welsh and I are doing 309 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.480 together sometimes I have been jumping on leading off recently 310 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.759 for all of you baseball fans. So if you're a 311 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.240 fan of FP and leading off, I'm over there, I 312 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.399 believe next week Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 313 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.200 I will tell you. I think I said this the 314 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:38.440 other day. Obviously, the like the transition of not having 315 00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:40.440 Joe piece of Pia on there. 316 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.960 It's just like it sucks for us two guys. I 317 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.039 mean we don't like it either. 318 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.600 So oh yeah, Like I mean I've been open about it, 319 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.240 like I don't need to go into any of it. 320 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.320 I'd say, like I've been open about it, like I've 321 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.720 been open that you know, Joe's my friend and blah 322 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.080 blah blah. But like it's weird and it's been a 323 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:00.879 weird process. I've always been a host. I host this 324 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.320 show and stuff like that, but there has been there's 325 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.519 just like an error about it where we're trying to 326 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.639 just you know, just get the footing through and continue 327 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.679 doing what we're doing. But like we all kind of 328 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:14.039 have like there's just no humanly possible way you cannot 329 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.879 have that, and blah blah blah. But Wednesday's show with 330 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.519 You and Me was probably my favorite show that I've 331 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.000 done in a long time. It just like it felt 332 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.480 that was kind of the normalcy and like that's gonna 333 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.360 happen and some of it's in my head and stuff 334 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.000 like that. You know, I mean, I'm still there, so 335 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.639 I think most of that audience is like, you know, 336 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.080 kind of has that familiarity and stuff like that. But 337 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:36.440 you know, like I get put in a little bit 338 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.039 of a different position because I host, and it maybe 339 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.320 makes me analyze a little bit less. So that's kind 340 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.679 of weird. And I don't want to say I felt 341 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:48.600 stiff or anything like that. But Wednesday's show, the whole 342 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.080 point of it was with you and Me. That was 343 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:53.320 the one where I was like, oh it was it 344 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.960 was funny, it had like it had just vibes. Yeah, 345 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.200 we had lots of information, lots of just kind of 346 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.120 back and forth talk. So I actually appreciated that that. 347 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.480 I feel like that kind of cracked the code a 348 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.279 little bit for me to kind of just get back 349 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:08.559 into the mold of doing those things because I don't 350 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.960 want to try to do anything. I'm not gonna try 351 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:14.879 to be just for any but yeah, I'm just I 352 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.399 just like want to be mean. I want to do 353 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.519 the shows that I do, and I want those to 354 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.600 hopefully be like informative and entertaining and stuff, and like, uh, 355 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.000 the irony of all the people you come on who 356 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.320 we've been doing shows for twelve plus years and then 357 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.559 we have there's just to me. 358 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.759 It's almost like there's a natural chemistry there. Yeah. 359 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.120 Yeah, but it was even a little bit beyond the 360 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.679 chemistry tool. It's like just a comfortability of the show. 361 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.000 So I don't know if anyone has a notice that 362 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.519 that listens to leading off or whatever. That was one 363 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.320 where I was like, yeah, that clicked, that clicked with me, 364 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.120 and then and then I proceeded to be off for 365 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.440 two days, which has been very helpful because I did 366 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:51.399 that same day. By the way, that was the start 367 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.200 of a six straight like podcast recording I had to do. 368 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.759 I feel like that's that's give me like good vibes 369 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.200 going into next week where it's like, okay, because sometimes 370 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.279 I'm very mental about things where it's like I just 371 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.080 needed to have that good feel and that was not 372 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.600 the woman with Bubba or Rico or anything like that 373 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:09.559 hasn't been there, but it was the first, like really 374 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.759 good feel. So go listen to that. Bogman's point. I 375 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.279 believe Bogman I will at least be doing a couple 376 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.399 more shows through the rest of the seasons. We're kind 377 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.480 of tagging down over there. But yeah, it's been great 378 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.039 having you do it. But probably the most baseball you've 379 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.200 done around this time of the year and god knows 380 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.679 how long because we always do this show. But like 381 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.879 also doing more preparation, like in a daily perspective for 382 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:34.039 leading off kind of changes your brain into baseball a 383 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:34.360 little bit. 384 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.120 Yeah, five five shows a week now, two for us 385 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.200 and three for them at this point, so yeah, way 386 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.120 more baseball stuff. But I mean, I'm always putting stuff 387 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.000 together on the sheet, but you know, to have points 388 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.240 every single day is you know, it is a lot. 389 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.480 But it's also I mean, I don't mind you know, 390 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.080 Wayne digging ditches. It was what I always say, we're 391 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.879 talking about ball.
