We'll discuss that. Also, what's the Nationals blueprint? They hired
a thirty three year old Blake but Trap as manager,
the youngest manager in fifty years over fifty years. And
whose side are you on in the surprising beef between
Joe Rogan and Ronda Rousi. We'll talk about that as well.
Right now here it is our number three. It is

(01:05):
a blue stew If you do welcome come in the

Tommy in Atlanta very happy.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Tire raq dot Com the way tire buying show be
so our lead. This hour is from Canada. All come,
my phone was blown up from Lister. It's not used
to work at Fox Sports Radio part of the Fox
Sports Radio Alumni Association.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Guy named Canadian Mike. You don't know him. He worked
here years ago.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
He lives in Toronto, and he was very excited and
he sent me a message. He's like, hey, I want
to be her Toronto correspondent when the Blue Jays win
the World Series. So the Blue Jays haven't won the
World Series, but I want to be the correspondent. And well,
they're probably gonna win it on Friday night. The show's
dark on Friday night. We don't do the show on
Friday night. We do a podcast on Friday night, and
so we're back.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
And forth on that.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But tonight's the night, Halloween Night close out game. If
the Blue Jays get her done, if they get her
done up three to two heading into Game six, they
will get that hunk of metal, just a piece of metal.
Should the Dodgers stave off elimination, they will get a
Game seven. Courtesy of Yamamo two on Saturday night. Now,

(03:24):
the big story from the workout. There was a workout
on Thursday. The big story was a race. So what
why would they do a race? Baseball teams, let me
do a race. So if you didn't see this, maybe
not during the off day workout. One of the most
riveting things about the World Series is the off day workout.
So manager Dave Roberts I really liked him in that spot.

(03:49):
Dave Roberts decided that the best way, the best way
to lift the spirits of the Dodgers clubhouse was to
race utility man He Song Kim, one of the fastest players,
if not the fastest player on the Dodgers. So they
decided if they would have a little bit of a
foot race. So on one side, you've got He Song Kim.

(04:11):
On the other side you got Dave Roberts. Now Roberts
is fifty three years old. He was given a head start,
so he had a little bit of a head start.
Old guy privilege, old guy privilege. And so that they're racing.
And let me describe this for those of you that
little blind. So Roberts was given the lead and they

(04:33):
went around second base. He had the lead, and then
he could not stay on his feet, did not stay upright.
He came tumbling down, down, down, down, down. The manager
wiped out. He did a belly whopper and that ended
the race. He was face down on the turf there
at the Rogers Center in Toronto. Everyone laughed, ha ha,

(04:55):
and Dave Roberts got up. He was limping a little bit,
and he announced to the people in the empty stadium,
I efing blew it. That's the quote, I efing blew
it from Dave Roberts. That is a good jumping off point.
The Dodgers are on the razor's edge as they are
facing their last supper if they don't get it done here.
So the question as we discuss, will Dave Roberts now

(05:19):
well publicized foot race that's right, a foot race with
Dodger player he sung Kim. Will this be the fuel
to inspire an epic Dodger World series comeback? So on
this one, I've got marketing slogan beach boys and fire

(05:40):
breathing monster, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some delicious Butterfinger
and Baby Ruth. So if you're gonna send me candy,
Butterfinger and Baby.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Ruth is the way to go.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
So, first of all, on this Halloween, this Dodger thing,
things are so bleak for the boys.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
How bleak are they? Thanks for asking? They're so bleak.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
The Dodgers are in such a deep dark place that
desperate times call for desperate measures, or in this case,
a foot race. The Dodgers have been bad to the bone,
bad to the bone the last couple of games in
the World Series. They can't hit a lick. The bullpens
leaking Kerosene Blake Snell pooped the bed despite all of

(06:27):
his fanboys defending him. So Dave Roberts, fifty three years
old turns into what Tony Robbins rounding second wiping out
like he was auditioning for an upcoming season of America's
Funniest Home Videos. Roberts now he gave the quote of
the day. That blabermouth. Dave Roberts gave the quote of
the day. I effing blew it. I efing blew it.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
You know what that is?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Do you know that is a marketing slogan? Is that
not the perfect marketing slogan? MLB Video MLB Productions they
make a World Series video for the twenty twenty five
Dodgers the headline I fing blew it because they're blowing
a golden opportunity and that Dave roberts pratfall was symbolic,

(07:14):
just like the Dodgers are face planting in the World
Series on the biggest stage he's no, the sorta, Dave Roberts. No,
the the sorta would have turned that into a sermon
about Dodger blue destiny and all that.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Roberts, you know, not so much.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Not so much now as for the spin. When I
see the story and they read you see, I know,
you have to write something on the day off. You
got a rummage through what's going on. You got to
put a story out and all that stuff. I get
that they're paying a lot of money to fly these
idiots to Toronto. The baseball cartel, I call them the
baseball writing cartel, the freeloaders. They're all the big names.
They just run up the expense account in these towns,

(07:53):
so they're all in Toronto.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I probably got completely hammered on Thursday night, these clowns.
So they had to write something.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
So they write about this, and they make it seem
like this is going to inspire the Dodgers to come back.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's the spin that Dave Roberts one of the.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Great motivators of our time. He got jiggy with it,
and now the Dodgers are.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Gonna come back. You know what that is?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
That is a night at the improv and you're seeing
Fluffy the Comedian, because it's Fluffy. If the Dodgers come
back and win the World's Heies, it's not out of question.
As much as I've been critical of the Dodgers, in
the multiverse, there's a dimension where suddenly they start hitting
again and this is completely forgotten, and the Dodgers win
Game six, and then they slap together Game seven, they

(08:33):
win that, and.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
There you go. So it's all possible.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
But should they win, we are going to be overwhelmed
with these Johnny Appleseed like tales of Dave Roberts, such
a great manager. He gave a master class on clubhouse
culture and how to keep the team grounded. And I'm
sure right now the Fox broadcast team in Toronto they're like,

(08:57):
who's gonna slobber all over Dave to be you?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Rosenthal is gonna be you the other day? Okay? Well,
which one?

Speaker 3 (09:02):
All right?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
So now if the Dodgers lose, the story will be
what the story's gonna be, This will be forgotten. It'll
be that Dave Roberts put the whammy on the Dodgers
when he gave that speech after the NLCS, saying we're
gonna let's go ruin baseball.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
That line that'll be the thing that comes back to
haunt Dave.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Roberts, and all the shot in freude from you young
whipper snappers will be Oh see Dave Roberts, Jake sub He,
Jake Stubb, he put the wavy on them.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
All right Now.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Secondly, staying with baseball, and we're gonna go to a
story that I think only ostrich Ant, maybe Rick and Maryland.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Is excited about it.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
In DC, the Washington Nationals, who have been beaten to
a pulp the last couple of years. The Nationals have
agreed to a deal with a new manager. Now, normally
I would not bring this up. There have been the
Twins hired a manager the other day. I didn't do
a monologue about it. I just thought this was interesting.

(10:02):
I thought it was interesting. So this guy named Blake.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
But Terra, I don't know who that is. Who is
that guy? So I didn't know who he was either.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I started futzing around because I got a lot of
time on my man. So this guy, Blake but Terra,
was hired as the manager. He agreed to a deal
to manage the Nationals. I don't know if it's been
signed yet. But he agreed to the contract, and that
makes him the youngest, the youngest person to hold a
big league job in more than half a century, more
than half a century. This guy is the same age

(10:32):
as our friend Lorena, and he's the manager of the
Washington Nationals.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Thirty three years old.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
But Terra will be the youngest manager since nineteen seventy two. Wow,
that seems like a long time ago, nineteen seventy two.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
So the question.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Now that this move has been made, what is the
Nationals blueprint? What is the blueprint here? Is they hire
a thirty three year old, thirty three year old Blake.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
But Terra as the manager.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
So I have seen this before, even though this happened
before I was around, I've seen this before. It's straight
out of Hollywood, straight out of Hollywood. My theory, let
me just run this by. I'm gonna make my elevator pitch.
I'm gonna make my olether Bd pitch. So the theory
is that ownership they've hired seasoned veteran skippers and that

(11:22):
didn't work. So now they were on a flight and
they watched the movie Little Big League on a plane
and they say, man, let's give this a whirl and
this seems like a good idea.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
It worked in the movie.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
And they're not hiring a manager, they're casting one. And
I don't know if this guy is you grandfather owned
the team or whatever. I have no idea, but they
they've gone full like Netflix reboot. It's like a bad
Adam Sandler reboot, except this is Little Big League the Analytics,
because that's really who manages almost all these teams. The

(12:00):
analytics department will write the script. But Terra's job is
to read the teleprompter, which is the three ring binder
in the dugout, and the laptop, well, not the laptop,
you have the tablet. Just follow the almighty all powerful,
omnipresent analytics.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Now, there's two ways this can go.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Door Number one is that this guy but Terra, is
a savant that drew but tra knows exactly what he's doing,
and this is going to be Sean McVay of baseball,
and everyone will be jealous and there'll be a run
to hire managers in their early thirties that he will
support this.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
And do well and it'll be great, or.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
It becomes a cautionary tale. And there were stories when
Raheem Morris, who's coaching.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now in Atlanta. But he got a job.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Years ago and he wasn't really ready for it and
things did not go so well. And he was a
young guy, and it's kind of hanging out with some
of the players. And there's some other coaches too that
have been accused when they got hired at a young
age they were out partying with the players. And generally
you don't want want the coach of the team to
be chasing the women with the players at night.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
You generally don't want that. It doesn't it's not a
good look.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Hey, the Nationals ownership, what they're doing on this one.
They are playing the beach Boy classics. Okay, they're thinking, hey,
we got this new guy. Good vibrations, right, good vibrations.
But there is a dimension in the multiverse where this
new manager Drew by Terra. Instead they get Kokomo a

(13:27):
slow cruise to nowhere. Now, the good news is that
Drew Bretea is twenty one. He's older than Billy Haywood.
I think he was twelve Membercraft, I think Billy Haywood
was twelve. He was the manager and little big league,
pretty good manager. I like it more than Dave Roberts
pretty good manager.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
So that's it.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Now again, if this works, you can start drafting managers
out of college. Give him nil deals. And this is
either a futuristic movie that makes the Nationals look like
the smartest people in the room, or another example of
baseball's obsession with youth over experience and going taboom, right
in the face, right in the face. All right, final thought,

(14:07):
We pivot now to MMA. That's right, MMA, yep, the
rare and appropriate. Rare and appropriate. UFC mentioned, I don't
let me talk to you, UFC unless there's a good story.
So we out to the boondocks where someone named Ronda Rousi,
who I interviewed a couple.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Times back in the day, believe it or not.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
In fact, she was in the Fox Sports radio studios
when she first became a big star. A great story
about that. I don't have time to talk about it here,
but maybe i'll do on the weekend podcast. So Ronda
Rowsi lobbs some shots at Joe Rogan. Say what yeah?
She said, some verbal shots at Rogan. Little jabs Rowsi

(14:48):
said of Joe Rogan. Quote, he's not an expert, she said,
not an expert, He's a fan. He's a fan with
an audience. He's never fought. And then she said taekwondo
is not fighting close. Oh all right, So that's the
jumping off point on this one question. Whose side are
you on? It's a he said, she said situation, although

(15:09):
to my knowledge, Joe Rogan did not say anything in regardless.
But who are gonna take Joe Rogan or Ronda ROUSI?
So I'm gonna go with that podcast guy. I'm gonna
go with Rogan on this, Like Joe Rogan might not
have fought, but he has been around the sport longer
than she's been relevant. And the idea that taekwondo is

(15:31):
not fighting, I would like whoever says that I NOSSI.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
I don't do taekwondo, but I would like to.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I would like to kick you with a spinning heel
kick to the face and see if you think it's
not fighting.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Without knowing, without knowing, if you were to falled down
a rabbit hole on like.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Wikipedia, this just feels personal, like I don't follow it
that closely. I don't listen to Rogan's podcast very often.
Sometimes people will send me something I might hear something,
but other than that, I don't really is it.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
So the question is did he say something to piss
her off?

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Her?

Speaker 2 (16:06):
There must be.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Something right that that seems like that it's a personal assault,
and Ronda maybe she just woke up and she woke
on the wrong side of bed and she chose violence
and because she's got an ongoing beef with Joe Rogan,
or she's mad that at one point she was called
the baddest woman on the planet, And now like, whatever
happened to Ronda Rousei?

Speaker 4 (16:25):
What is she?

Speaker 1 (16:26):
The facts are the facts, and the fact is that
so many former athletes turned experts are lousy, absolute lousy commentators.
They float on the lazy river of cliches and they
don't do their prep work. They just float around and
around on the lazy river. And she's the one doing

(16:46):
pro wrestling promos about being misunderstood.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's like pot meat kettle. Now if you want to talk.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
About credibility again, I'm not a UFC person. My brother
in law loves the UFC. I've got some people in
my circle that love the UFC, and they yell at me,
why do you not love the UFC? And I've even
you know, one of my my good buddies when my
gambling buddies will watch because he loves the UFC and
he'll bet on it all the time, so I'll end
up watching it on like a Saturday night.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Big.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I guess they got getting rid of the pay per
view stuff, but the big pay per view cards back
in the day we'd have we'd never get together and
watch the UFC or whatever. So but Joe Rogan to me,
this guy's right up there. He's helped Dana White build
the UFC brand into a fire breathing, three headed monster.
And Ronda she helped the women's version of the UFC,

(17:34):
and she built a big myth and she was unbeatable,
and then she got her face smashed in her last
couple of fights. And so one of those things still
is credible. Is it Joe Rogan being a great brand
ambassador or is it Ronda Rousey being unbeatable?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Hmm?

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Things that make you go hmm. Anyway, it is the

Speaker 2 (24:51):
What else do we have top the tater? I don't
know what that is.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Probably should have said that Millie Vanilli from Todd That
other one was from Don from the That's his answer.
The Baltimore Burner account about free food says Otani big
fan of jumbo jumbo crab cakes. I think jumbo lump
crab cakes. You should open your taste buds and try one. Now,

my stomach. All right, enough of that, Do you have
an answer? Let's see here, Lorraine show hel Tony.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Corny to Mookie Bets.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Mookie Bets surprisingly surprised many when he revealed the Dodgers
teammate Sho Heo Tani is a big fan.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Of blank Mexican street dogs after the games.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, I can see Otani going out of Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
And hot dog the people with the cards. That's how
they sound hot dog, hot Dot, hot doc. And they
get your attention and then they try to upsell you
because they give you the pepsi or the coke and
they try to no that's incorrect. The correct answer record
to Mookie Bets Sho Hao Tani is a big fan
of country music.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Country huh.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Unfortunately, no no names were mentioned.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
No names were mentioned, so we don't know exactly what
bands he likes, but that that was the answer.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
That was the answer, country music.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's very interesting.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Well he likes he likes.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Other stuff too, like K pop and Latin music and
country music.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
But the country one was like, why would a guy
you know from Japan. I don't know. Maybe it's great.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I have a buddy of mine runs a country music
like a streaming channel. It's his kind of bread and
butter thing. He flexes around with it, so I guess
it's not as bread and butter. He fuses around with
it and he does very well.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
In Germany. He has the most listeners to his channel.
Is in Germany. They love country music in Germany.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, let's go to the phones, and who do we
have he Let's see eeny meeni mini mom.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Trying to see who's the There is John and Atlanta
still there? I see if John is there? John in Atlanta? Hello?
John left? He is gone? All right? John has left
the building. I feel like all these people are gone,
so I don't know. Let's go to Kelly in de Moine.
Is Kelly there? Hello Kelly. Welcome Kelly, Kelly in the Moine.
See he's not there. We'll move on.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Let's let's go to blind Scott. We'll us go through
the whole board see and reset the boarders. Let's go
to blind Scott. Hello, blind Scott, thanks.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
For taking my call. I'm trying to make coffee here.
It just went terribly actually, So, dude, EA Sports they
do video games. I think you have a chance of
doing voices on EA Sports for their new video games.
I actually I interviewed with them and they use a
radio guy from Utah and they're the ones who bought
me that blue check mark on Twitter. They're not interested
in me. They think I have mett to illness. But

(27:49):
I think they might be interested in you, seeing that
I actually got an interview. You know what I'm saying, dude.
One other yeah, sure did show. Hey, Otani guy, he
would be the best athlete in any sport if he
played football right now, he'd beat starting quarterback on any team.
Don't you agree? No, Okay, another thing about the mafia,

(28:09):
since I got your here, while I'm on the line.
I talked to Mafia members recently and they said the
Mafia was still alive, and I kind of laughed, you know,
O haha, yeah, big deal. You know, I really do
think the Mafia is still alive, very strongly. I don't
know where they operate from, but they're operating in the
United States, and I think that I don't think they
can affect sports. There's no way you can fix the
game in sports.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
You can do these.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Goofy little option bets in fixed games that way, but
you can't fix a whole game. You'd have to have
a referee, a couple players, and a coach on on board.
But if you look at Chauncey Phillips, he played this
game against the Celtics last year. It was it was
a Trailblazers and Celtics. They lost by exactly ten points.
At the end of the game. The spread with nine
and Phillips through the game. They got to throw him

(28:51):
in jail for that. If they're throwing people in jail
for stealing Boloney sandwiches day times, they got to throw
him in jail for that. To make a game out
of him. It's the Integra already had the game. If
he slides on this, then everybody should fly. The should
just empty all the prisons and everybody can call Ben
Mouther from there.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, that's a great idea. I think we was just
let everyone out. That's a brilliant idea. That is That's
one of the great ideas you've ever come over.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, like that movie, and I'm glad we moved on
from what happened that. You know. We're moved on, man, Ben,
I'm gonna live tweet. Oh no, not live tweek on
the Fifth Hour. This weekend. I will be live posting
