WEBVTT 1 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.879 Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up. 2 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.600 Are we fired up tonight or not? 3 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.840 Sure? Yes we are, thank you Katie, we are fired 4 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.399 up tonight. Yes we are well. 5 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:43.880 I can say that Hurricane Milton is passed. I do 6 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.600 not think for as much as people had talked about 7 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.560 it ahead of time and how destructive and how it 8 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.240 was a Cat five at one point, and it granted 9 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.840 it hit Sarasota, but it hit him as a three 10 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:05.959 it did. It spared Tampa Bay because actually if it 11 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.760 would have, if it would have hit further north, the 12 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:17.400 storm surge would have hit more in there. So overall, 13 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.439 and yes, don't get me wrong, I know there was 14 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:28.480 there was confirmed nineteen different tornado twisters that happened, and 15 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.280 it hid has claimed some lives, don't get me wrong, 16 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.200 but I think it could have been a lot worse. 17 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.040 Hers up to those that lost family members, of course, 18 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.680 and it could have been much much worse. I'm glad 19 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:45.959 you guys never lost power. 20 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.280 I'm glad we got to have a podcast last night. 21 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.439 Yes, he luckily never lost power. 22 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.319 As of this morning, there was two million residents in 23 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.760 Florida without power, and most of it was due to 24 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.959 the nineteen tornade was not due to the hurricane. 25 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.560 At one point, at the highest point, it was three 26 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.240 point three million and that were without power. And I 27 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.240 want to say I saw a figure that was a 28 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.520 little bit higher than yours, Jeremy. At six point thirty 29 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.439 to night there was still, like, I want to say, 30 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.479 two point some million still without that. 31 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.960 I was going by what a guy that lives down 32 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.759 there said, I. 33 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.840 Get that, I get that, but yeah, I want to 34 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.840 say at one point, I know it was three point 35 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:39.080 three million at one point. Now I still have somebody 36 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.879 that says nearly three million are without power. It was 37 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.680 a third hurricane to hit Florida this year. Obviously, I 38 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.080 don't know if anybody else. I'm sure people have seen it. 39 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.800 But it ripped off the roof off in the Trafficana field. 40 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.280 Yes, Brightingon got hit real bad too. The Pirates lost 41 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.280 their fence on their field, the training spring training in 42 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.960 the back. The whole fence just went down when flew up. 43 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.520 It unfortunately spun a tornado that touched down. A couple 44 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.520 of them that touched down, and one hit a fifty 45 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:18.879 five an older community that was modular homes and on 46 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.800 the East coast and the problem with that is that 47 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.639 they weren't. We weren't told to evacuate because we were 48 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.919 on the east coast and it was hitting the west coast, 49 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.319 so people didn't evacuate them there, and it was a 50 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:39.479 deadly tornado and it is unfortunately the death toll I've 51 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.919 seen the death tolls so far at twenty three I 52 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.800 believe across the whole state now from that park. There 53 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.199 was a number of them were from that park, and 54 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.759 they're saying that we're gonna see more yet because not everybody. 55 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.199 Did it wipe out that entire park. 56 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.080 It wiped out quite a few of the the homes there. 57 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.560 Yes, you know. 58 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.240 Down the Tropic Candafield. I think that's what happened. The 59 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.120 roof got blown off. I'm sorry, I said, I heard 60 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.319 roof cup blown off of Tropic Candofield. 61 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.279 That's it did. 62 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.839 And that was where their host responders were going to 63 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.120 be staying, so they had to move them and stuff 64 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.519 like that. So, yes, there have been numerous There was 65 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.000 a school that I mean at this point when this hit, 66 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.959 obviously there was no school yesterday and for Palm Beach 67 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.319 County they had no school yesterday. Today, they're actually not 68 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.959 going to have school tomorrow Monday. They had a scheduled 69 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.480 time off anyways, so but one of the middle schools. 70 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.879 I believe the roof blew off. We've seen where it 71 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.480 lifted a dumpster and put a dumpster on the top 72 00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:01.439 of a roof of a house. It's flipped over cars. 73 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.720 It was nothing to mess with. I'm glad the death 74 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.639 toll is hopefully won't get too much higher. I want 75 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.759 to say hi to everybody in the chat room, Rick, Patty, Fernando. 76 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.680 I do want to say that my buddy Den was 77 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.279 telling me that he actually scheduled down near Tampa to 78 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.079 have a terracotta roof put on his house, and they 79 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:33.920 literally delivered the terracotta shingles on palate and unbanded him 80 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.439 on his roof just before all these hurricanes. 81 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:42.199 Had and go wow. 82 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.199 I hope every single one of his neighbors have the 83 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.399 best insurance ever, and he better have good insurance too, 84 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.439 because a terracotta roof shingle flying at one hundred and 85 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.399 ten to one hundred and thirty miles an hour and 86 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:02.279 decapitate somebody go right through a wall, smash everything in 87 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.600 that room that it hits, because it's gonna splinter like 88 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.040 shrapnel when it hits that wall. I mean, the only 89 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.560 walls that would be saved for brick mm hmm. 90 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.199 But I bet you it. 91 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.519 Cracks them mm hmmm mm hmm. 92 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.959 It's like talk about poor planning. 93 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.399 They tell you, guys, what four or five days before 94 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.439 these hurricanes that they're coming. When they know because of 95 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.399 the way the Gulf Stream and the way the currents 96 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.680 are flowing, they know where it's going. They can crack 97 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.000 it pretty accurately. They're usually within one hundred and fifty 98 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.560 miles of where it's gonna make landfalls. And when it's 99 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.319 a Cat three, there's it's not just the wind speed 100 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.079 that the sizes the category of a hurricane. I remember 101 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:52.199 this from when I lived down there. 102 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:56.240 It's also the size of the eye of the storm, 103 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.439 because the bigger the eye, the faster the wind right. 104 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.560 Right, and it depends on the weather system that hits 105 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.040 coming into And that's why it actually was picking up 106 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.399 speed as it went across the state, and surprisingly it 107 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.639 was still a hurricane when it left the state, and 108 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.319 that's rare normally when it goes over land. That for 109 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.720 as much as it did across the state, it normally 110 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.720 loses its hurricane status, and this actually never did until 111 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.000 it got out into the Atlantic and it hit some 112 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:32.639 dry weather. 113 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.439 There was some damage in Zupper Hills as well, which 114 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.439 what's weirdest I lived in Tampa and I lived in 115 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.720 Zupper Hills while I lived in Florida. 116 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.920 Mm hmm. But good riddance. We don't need to see 117 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.879 any more hurricanes this year. I'd like to say. 118 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.120 It it's vacation to Orlando. 119 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.879 But hurricane season is through the end of November, so 120 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.839 we still have a good month or so to go. 121 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:08.680 No hurricanes on Lake Michigan. Yes, Hurricane Candy talking over 122 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:14.160 sports talk. Wow, I'm just acknowledging the big event that 123 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.480 happened down here. We are on the cell floord of 124 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.959 Tribune YouTube channel, so yes, we were going to get 125 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.600 to sports talk, of course, because I don't want to 126 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.639 lose any of my guy any of our listeners here. 127 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.839 But that was a pretty big hurricane, pretty big news 128 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.959 event for people that live down here. 129 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.440 And you live down there, so they got to expect 130 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.559 you to talk about. 131 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.559 It exactly exactly, But there is it. 132 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.440 It's back to back hurricane. That's something we haven't seen 133 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.879 in decades. I think they said nineteen seventy two was 134 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.799 the last time when you guys had a minor one 135 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.200 come through and then that big one that actually did 136 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.200 a lot of damage. This one was just the opposite. 137 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.159 And in a way, that's a blessing. But nineteen tornadoes, 138 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.919 that's it's almost unhearded. 139 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:11.200 It is yes, no, you're you're fine, Joseph, No, you're right. 140 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.120 It is very unheard of that it spawns that many, 141 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:19.399 and it's been known to spawn tornadoes, but they were 142 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.919 of lesser magnitudes, and these were really powerful ones. If 143 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:29.799 you see some of the footage, you'll it's pretty incredible, 144 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.399 the footage that you see these days. 145 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.080 But if it was nineteen tornadoes, but I think almost 146 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.039 thirteen of them were of the F one variety, the 147 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.000 very tiny ones that do minimal damage and they're just 148 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:46.840 high winds. Basically, anything loose can be hurt from those, 149 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.039 you know, tornadoes. That's something I can talk about Michigan 150 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.519 as much as anybody wants to say about it. We 151 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.080 had one of the worst day for tornadoes in American 152 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.039 history back in nineteen fifty four. 153 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:06.919 Mm hmm mm hmmm. I think we are I think 154 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.919 we set one of our records though, because I know 155 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.679 we had over one hundred and thirteen tornado warnings in 156 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.840 the state and one day. I think that's one of 157 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.399 the that's like a record. But neither there, Neither here 158 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.960 nor there. Let's let's move on to let's do some 159 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.919 sports talk because ins Fernando wants some sports talk here. 160 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.639 What's going on right now? Let's start with the MLB playoffs, 161 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.360 because it is going on right now. Oh, I got 162 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.639 a question for the three of you. Well, Rick, can 163 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.000 you hold that question because we're gonna start with MLB playoffs, 164 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.559 but we will get to NFL and quarterbacks. So let's 165 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:50.120 start though with MLB. Unfortunately, the Tigers did lose tonight, 166 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.559 but they are the series is tied to too, so it 167 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:59.000 goes now back to the Guardians to Cleveland. What are 168 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.279 you guys thinking about Game five? 169 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.440 You know this will be one of those times when 170 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:10.279 switching players out and everything wasn't such a great deal. 171 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.519 I kind of wanted them to go ahead and throw 172 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.639 Schooble out there, get the game over today, and that 173 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:22.159 way we could have him at Game one in four days. 174 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.519 Because I have the feeling the Royals are gonna win 175 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.159 the night to take it back to New York. I 176 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.039 just the Royals played good baseball all year and the 177 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.759 Guardians have played good baseball all year. You could say 178 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.279 your Tigers blew it, but you know what, it was 179 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:43.279 a good game. It's five to three. I had a 180 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.679 feeling it was gonna be a higher scoring game than 181 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:46.360 what we saw. 182 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.080 We needed some players to show up, and they did that. 183 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:55.759 Fit I would agree. And right now the Yankees are 184 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:59.360 up to nothing over Kansas City. The Yankees lead that 185 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:04.799 series to one. Oh so, Jeremy, you already said you 186 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.279 think the Royals are gonna win. So wait, let's go 187 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.720 back Ralph. Your take on the Tigers and Guardians. 188 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.120 Well, I hope the Tigers, uh, you know, win again. 189 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.600 I mean I know they lost today, Jeremy. The series 190 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.279 isn't over yet, correct. 191 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.519 No. 192 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.720 Tie to too? Okay, what is it five or seven? 193 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:31.279 Five in the divisional series? Doesn't start to the championship. 194 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:32.120 No. 195 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.480 I hope Detroit does well because they have a good 196 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.039 young team, uh with some great with some good players. 197 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.279 They've managed to balance things out better than most teams 198 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.000 as far as being a young team goes. They have 199 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.120 a good manager who, in my opinion, shouldn't even be 200 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.840 in baseball. But that's my opinion. But he's doing good 201 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.879 in Detroit, Okay, and I got to give him credit 202 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:54.679 for that as well. 203 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:57.159 Okay, what about it? 204 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:04.559 I feel like you should go to the year or nobody. Yeah, no, no, 205 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.919 nobody saw Detroit get the All Star break doing this. 206 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.960 What was it point zero two percent or point two 207 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.159 percent at the All Star break? Right, went up to 208 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.480 like fifteen percent at the Tree deadline because they started 209 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.720 winning after the All Star break and then they became 210 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.159 the hottest team in baseball with out their second best 211 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.799 pitcher in the starting rotation. 212 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.440 Mm hmm. Okay, So what about Yankees Royals? What do 213 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.080 you think, Ralph? 214 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.480 Well, it's good to see New York back in the 215 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.360 fray here. They've been out for a few years, back 216 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.480 in the playoffs, back you know, where they need to be. 217 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.879 It's good to see that. But I like the Kansas 218 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.679 City Royals. I always have. They've been, always been a 219 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.919 scrampy team that has played well over the years. Another 220 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.159 small market team that has done well for itself. And 221 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.039 I think I like Kansas City here. I hope that 222 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.039 they can, you know, keep it going and beat the Yankees. 223 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.639 I mean, you know, no one likes the Yankees that 224 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:13.240 much anyway, so you know. But but again, the reality 225 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.559 is they're back in in in the playoff full so 226 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.399 I mean, you know, but the the other reality is 227 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.919 I hope that the Kansas City Royals beat them. You know, 228 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.759 I'm not a Yankee fan. I never have it. 229 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.240 And Jay, we'll get to that. That's the next topic. 230 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.519 But we're talking about the MLB Playoffs and the gentleman 231 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.320 on the panel don't know who's retiring because I didn't 232 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:36.960 tell them. 233 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.919 I haven't by the way, that that. 234 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:48.679 Huh it's you. Oh no, no, okay, okay. So back 235 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.279 to the MLB playoffs, Padres and Dodgers. This series is 236 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:57.519 tied to all now they play tomorrow, Knight. Who do 237 00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.799 we think is going to take that series? 238 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.000 The team that scurs the most? 239 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:06.480 Which teams? 240 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.240 Again, Candy, I'm sorry, Padres Dodgers. 241 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:12.039 I'm rooting for the Padres. I want to see the 242 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.919 Dodgers go down again. I mean, you know, they overpay 243 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.919 for for everybody every year and then they make it 244 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.759 to the first round of the playoffs and they and 245 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.480 they fold their tent. I mean, it's like, you know, 246 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.639 they just they constantly do that, and I hope it 247 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:26.960 happens again this year too. 248 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.159 Well, congratulations, Darren Judge, you just got your first extra 249 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.159 base hit of the post season with adult We. 250 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:40.600 Got struck out by by who, Paul Skeen struck out right. 251 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.320 I'm just saying, so far in his career, if you 252 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:46.960 look what Aaron Judge has done in the both seasons, 253 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:53.600 he has more streakouts than hits. He's got more flyouts 254 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.000 than extra base hit. 255 00:15:55.879 --> 00:16:05.200 So he's not zero home runs in the both seasons. 256 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.279 You know what I said, He's the MLB's version of 257 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.559 Kirk Cousins. 258 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:18.840 Yes, yes, indeed, so yes, I I did call the Mets. 259 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.759 I called it the Mets because, as some of you 260 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.600 have heard on other shows that I have said, the 261 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.720 team that beats the Brewers in the playoffs, in any 262 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.000 of the rounds of playoffs go on to the World Series, 263 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.039 not necessarily win it, but they go on to it. 264 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.200 And that has happened. I believe it was like eight 265 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.720 or nine times every time. So the Mets took the 266 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.039 Brewers out of it. So the Mets, Yes, and the 267 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.000 Mets beat the Phillies, which a lot of people didn't 268 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:49.679 think that they. 269 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.759 Were gonna Philly always has a great team all the time. 270 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:58.600 They are currently waiting the winner of the Padres Dodgers series, 271 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.240 and I think that'll be interesting because the Padres have 272 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.359 been hot. But the Dodgers, you know, they they pay, 273 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.039 They've got a bigger payroll. 274 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.960 This might be the year that they actually do it. Candy. 275 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.319 I mean, you know, they flopped like I said before. 276 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:16.960 You know, every year they get all this talent, they 277 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.279 overpay for it and then uh, this talent gets hurt 278 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:22.640 and then they ended up, you know, stinking up the 279 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.559 joint and getting out after the first round of playoffs. 280 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.079 Kind of like another team in football that that's from 281 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:29.640 my area. 282 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:36.240 Here, my parlay already failed. I had Aaron Judge not 283 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.359 getting an extra base hit. He just did it. So 284 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:40.920 my parlay is done. 285 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.920 Okay, anything else from the playoff MLB playoffs. 286 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:51.319 That we want to talk about, not particularly I mean, 287 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.079 you got the Padres and Dodgers. It's probably the best 288 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.559 matchup in this series. Is why it's not It up 289 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:04.160 to I mean and the Tigers. They had the Guardian's 290 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:06.960 number coming down the stretch. We had to beat the 291 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.000 Guardians to get in the position we were at get 292 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.079 into the playoffs because we were at that point where 293 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.720 it was a fifty to fifty thing if they'd make it. 294 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.440 When we played them and we won two out of three, then. 295 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:31.000 Okay. So not a sport we talk about very often. 296 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.119 Bolt, what's that bowling? 297 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.039 No, we are going on to the next topic, the 298 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:42.759 retirement topic, because everybody wants to know what we're talking about. 299 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:49.279 Who's retiring. It was announced today that I would say, 300 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:53.680 one of the better tennis players in the men's game, 301 00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:00.839 Rafael Nadal, announced his retirement. He's retirment after in November, 302 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.519 after the Davis Cup. He has pretty much. 303 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.839 Actually not that surprising. 304 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:15.880 NBA. I like that one from Jade, that was a 305 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.200 good one. 306 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:18.839 That was good. 307 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:22.480 But the WNBA has been resurrected now thanks to a 308 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.359 few players. 309 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:26.759 Do in particular this season. 310 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:34.920 Yeah, yeah, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Wasn't for them to. 311 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:42.960 Correct. So Nadal has played professional tennis for twenty three years. 312 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:47.759 He has garnered twenty two Grand Slam championships as well 313 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:52.559 as thirty six Masters one thousand titles. He's thirty eight 314 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.400 years old. 315 00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:54.720 He wow. 316 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.440 He has had a dominance on clay. Really was his 317 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.119 forte he did the French Open. 318 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.559 In the chest. 319 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:13.000 Yeah. Yes, He's had a lot of epic games against 320 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:24.799 Roger Federer. He had in fact, career was iconic. Yes. 321 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.039 So I remember that Wimbledon when it came down to 322 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.440 Federer and a doll, and it went all the way 323 00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:35.880 to the tiebreak. Almost every single part of that set 324 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:39.359 that they went through it went to its tiebreak, and 325 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.480 it was an amazing thing to watch. And I think 326 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:47.319 in the beginning had a doll's number, if I remember right. 327 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.920 At one point he was like yeah. 328 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.920 But at one point, even at Wimbledon, I think his 329 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.000 first two times he bested the doll and then the 330 00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.319 doll got so dominant on play that Federer couldn't touch 331 00:20:59.400 --> 00:20:59.880 him anymore. 332 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.279 Well, did you get a haircut? 333 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:03.720 No? 334 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:10.160 I did not. No, I don't cut my hair. I 335 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.960 get a trimm because I have I have a ponytail or. 336 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.680 I have my hair as well, long in the back, 337 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:17.640 and I put it up in a ponytail whenever I 338 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.640 go to special functions. But I get a trim every 339 00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:21.279 once in a while. 340 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:22.839 I cut at least one a day because I like 341 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:24.200 to keep everything even. 342 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:34.519 I haven't had a serious haircut in probably fifteen years. 343 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.119 So yes, I used to play tennis, and so tennis 344 00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:41.039 is kind of near and dear, and that's why most 345 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.640 of you don't know that. But that's why I wanted 346 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.599 to bring it up tonight. So because he announced it, 347 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.000 I think today or yesterday, So I thought that was 348 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:54.000 kind of big news and something that we don't normally 349 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.640 talk about. 350 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:58.440 So yeah, that is something different. 351 00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.000 You know, and sometimes we do that because we talk 352 00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:06.480 about anything around here. Okay, so let's we're going to 353 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.440 talk a little bit of NFL. Oh huge news. What's 354 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:13.160 the huge news? Jay? What are you breaking? What news 355 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.640 is breaking? 356 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:19.799 I think he means you're huge and is but not 357 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:20.960 all retire. 358 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:30.000 Oh yes, I remember Natassi and John McEnroe getting pissed off. 359 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:32.839 Very difficult sport. I tried once. I couldn't even see 360 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.319 the ball off the serve. I stood there like a statute. 361 00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:37.960 It is a tough sport you have to be. I mean, 362 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:39.759 I haven't played it in a couple of years, but 363 00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:47.079 I played it religiously. I can say that. For some reason. 364 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.160 I always went to tiebreakers, and I wasn't very good 365 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:54.480 in the tiebreaker. I almost went to state. I lost 366 00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.319 in a third set tiebreaker in my playoffs, and otherwise 367 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.039 I would have gone to state in high school. And 368 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.480 and I actually I actually lost in a third set 369 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:08.119 tiebreaker to not make the college team as well. So 370 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:13.440 but I love this. I love playing it. When I do, 371 00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:16.240 I just haven't done it in a long time. So, yes, 372 00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:21.480 that is pretty big news for Nadal. Only rich people 373 00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:26.079 play tennis like Candy. I would that I would. I 374 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.799 would say it's probably one of the least expensive ones 375 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.359 because you really only need a racket and some tennis balls, 376 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.119 and normally you can find courts that you don't have 377 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.880 to pay to play where, and you only need one 378 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:40.519 other person, so it's not like you need a whole 379 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:43.759 team like a baseball or basketball and you know and 380 00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:50.359 all that. But Jimmy Connors would get pissed off too. Yes, 381 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.400 and yes, I do know. The Red Wings open tonight. 382 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:01.799 They actually do the lead. They delayed their game an 383 00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.680 hour because they didn't want that much traffic trying to 384 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.319 get down to Comerica Park and Little Caesars at the 385 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.160 same time, so they started at eight o'clock tonight to 386 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:13.440 stagger it a little bit more. 387 00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:16.200 The Pirates had to do that this year to accommodate 388 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:18.160 the Steelers one time. 389 00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:22.759 So I'm going to say something that I said last 390 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.880 night on my podcast, and I am completely wrong and 391 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.279 I was mistaken. The forty nine Ers are taking it 392 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:31.599 to the Seahawks in their house. It looks like the 393 00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.400 hangover from that Lions game is still lingering. 394 00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:39.720 Mm. I thought the Niners would would lay another egg. 395 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:43.559 I didn't do. But they're up sixteen to three at a half. 396 00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:49.119 Tame, So let's talk a little bit. We got to 397 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:54.920 talk about the dysfunctional Jets. I'm sorry. The reason why 398 00:24:54.960 --> 00:25:02.759 I want to go back to them is they obviously 399 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.200 they have a new head interroim coach Jeff Ulbrich, and 400 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.839 he he did the same thing that Robert Salah was 401 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:16.160
