Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Welcome inside, Happy Wednesday, The Jason Smith Show with
my base.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Friend Mike Harmon, well dressed Coboat.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and free, backed by free Road, has protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tirack dot com.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
He is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well, I said, I'll come back from vacation when the
Mets start trading to fortify that candy ass bullpen, and
they did today, So Mike Harmon, I had to come
back to work tonight because the Mets made a couple
of big trades.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm a man of my word.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Well, I figured if the winning streak that was rolling
along that we just kind of let Jess state in
the background of things while you were gone. If that
had continued, we were starting to build. Mike Harmon's show opens,
figuring you were never coming back. The oh yeah no, no,
you are yeah no, to be camped outside of that
Michigan White Castle forever and then we'd never see you again.
(01:00):
Occasionally you'd pop on because you wanted to scream about
something but that you'd be taking a long term medical
leave or however you would term it. But here you
are back and ready to go. And yeah, you fortifying
the bullpen. And I gotta give your guys Sternsy some credit.
You know how I feel about prospects. I don't care
if he's right first, twelfth to fifteenth. Take them all,
(01:23):
ship them all. Bring me a guy that can close
out games.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Hey, here's what I don't care.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I'm just glad it's different names from the guys I've
been watching blow things.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well the past few months.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It can be anybody, but it's a different name, and
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Is it Bras a ban again?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
We send him down? Okay, like every day it was
literally the Mets. We're sending down these three guys. Bring
we're deafaying these three bringing up these three I don'tkay.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
What do I always say?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Hey, I would trade my bullpen sight unseen for other
team's bullpen.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Why because at.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Least if they suck, it's just different guys and I
could just take a look. Okay, these guys, all of them,
the man, they've been terrible, but at least they are
different guys that I've been watching for the past four months,
just give away leads and watching it happen unfolding on vacation. Okay,
mark Viento's Grand Slam five to one, we're winning this
game eight in a row.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
No, no, no, we're giving this game back up. Swept
by the Padres.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Okay, great, great, No, to be fair, I mean that
is good because you get to hit the reset button. Yeah,
because now they're guys you have to familiarize yourself with.
You could read, you know, box scores and read the
trade notes and say, okay, fine, this is what we're getting.
But until you actually watch them in your uniform uniform
and grow to hate them, they get a little bit
(02:33):
of a pass, right. I mean it's like, you know,
new players that you get if you're coaching you know,
your son or daughter's team, or helping out in a
classroom and trying to figure out who the class jackass
is because it's going to change perhaps every year, depending
on how your school works.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
That, yeah, you've got to ferret that out and it
gets a reset button.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
New relationships, right, new bad habits that you have to
witness because you know you got tired of the old.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Whatever the case may be now you have.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
A completely shuffled up bullpen bully for you.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, shuffle up and deal, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Just watch those Big Card tournament.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Shuffle up and deal. Just shuffle up. Deal.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
But yes, we are here less than a day away
now from the MLB trade deadline, which is a really
big deal. Uh, We're starting to see some trades.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The Mets get two relievers, the Phillies get a closer.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
The Yankees made a trade today with Aaron Judge out,
they get Austin Slater from your Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And here they are right now trying to hold on
in the game.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They were leading in the ninth inning, but no, Devin
Williams gives up the lead and they're tied in the tenth.
I gotta tell you watching this the last few days
where they bring in like Ahmed Rosario, there is no
team that is flailing this season.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
And I mean contending teams.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I mean I'm not sure that teams are just failing
because they stink and they're terrible.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
But Iraqi's looking for that eightieth loss today.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, y no, No, They've just been flailing from the
since the beginning. This is this has been like, hey,
we we have no hope here. Dante bischett is not
walking through that door. There is no team that is
flailing more than the Yankees because they have just they've
watched their six game lead in the AL East turn
into a five game deficit with the Red Sox right
(04:16):
on their heels. They're a half game back. Tampa Bay
is basically four games back of them right now, and
they are just absolutely flailing. The other We'll go out
and get a d Rosario, We'll go get Austin Slater,
Aaron Judges hurt. Other teams are nervous, and it's and
it's and it's about making the right move. Hey, you
know we give up prospects were getting the right pitch.
(04:37):
We do, we know what we need to do. The
Yankees they are just absolutely flat. They're in such a
panic mode more than any other team. And look, yes,
have they had injury. Sure, Can you really tell that
they're missing Garrett Cole every fifth day? One hundred percent?
I mean absolutely, But watching them this is I don't
feel like there's a plan. I don't feel like there
is anything going on other than how do we magically
(04:58):
close our eyes and stop this panic?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
It's like when I go to bed with a headache
and I go I don't care. I just want to
magically fall asleep and wake up and the headache is gone.
Like I think that to the Yankee Yankees and the
Yankee fans are hoping right now, I'm just gonna go
to bed, wake up, and this headache is gonna be gone.
We're gonna be back in first place, and we're gonna
be debating whether or not we bring back Aaron Boone again.
But they are just absolutely flailing. They have lost over
(05:22):
ten games from their standing in the Al East over
the last five weeks, and there is no sign that
that is stopping that. Look trouble tonight. Look a game
you think is gonna be in our w column. Devin
Williams hasn't worked out. His era is over five. You
need to go make moves like that. And these other
teams they have problems they but the Yankees just we
have no idea. We're just hoping to close our eyes
(05:44):
and sing a song and make it better.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Well, and that's the thing, right, is that now you're
looking at the rest of that division. Baltimore playing better
baseball of late. I'm still having the nightmare scenario, and
I spoke it it spoke about it a little bit
yesterday of the idea that we're gonna have carlod On
and Garrett Crochet pitching in the final games of the
regular season to decide who wins that division. Hey, ex
(06:08):
White Sox guys, Yeah, let's let's have them. And then
maybe Slater now comes up and he hits the this
decigning home run, whatever the case may be. I mean,
just chaos ensuing. But for the Yankees, yah, I mean
the number of injuries, especially when we're talking about the
high priced guys. Stanton has not been I mean, he
(06:29):
is what he is at this point in his career,
right what he gives you, having played in just thirty
games to date, and the Judge injury, it sounds like
they averted what might have been a major issue. I
remember when that alert hit my inbox, I just started
shaking my head, going, Wow, we're just not having nice
things across Major League Baseball this year. Right now, we
(06:51):
have the Ronald Lacunya junior. We've seen such heroics, right
that three hundred and ten yard or ten three hundred
and ten foot dart that he three hundred ten yards.
Now he's thrown a football over a mountain. But you
know the base running and the heroics four n sixty
eight foot home run the other day. Now he's back
on the shelf and almost in tears as he talks
(07:12):
about it. But for the Yankees, after what was a
big run and we're talking, hey, is Aaron Judge gonna
win a triple crown? Now it's how quickly can we
get him back on the field? Can he still play
the outfield? Do we now have ninety hs on the
roster a lot? How does this all work?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It is an absolute mess. And for Aaron Boone, does
he get I guess he gets that, stay right like,
because now you have all the excuses built in because
you could say, look, we were expected to.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Be battling in this division.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just because we got out to a good start and
watched it frit or away, does.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It mean we we didn't do our best? But yeah,
it's it's gonna be a fun run in that division,
no question. All five teams could be a pain in
the ass before it's over. And then if you okay,
the Yankees have absolutely full flailing panic mode.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And then there's.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The problems that the Dodgers have. Okay, this is just okay,
I gotta tell the truth. I got I gotta tell
the truth because for so long it's always been Hey,
the Dodgers always make the right moves, they make the
right decisions. They're a model organization. Look at what they're
able to do. And for the most part, I agree.
We tell is the big butt coming, which tells you,
now I disagree. But look, they're able to get show
(08:26):
hey Otani and get him to defer his money, which
saves them, which gives them cash to go out and
get other players, right, the teams that play, teams that
want to come, and players who want to come play
for the Dodgers. And being able to turn over rookies
every couple of years or turn into all stars, whether
it's Will Smith or or finding a guy and Tommy
Edmund whatever, the Dodgers have done it. But this whole
Dodgers do the great dit no, because boy, they have
(08:50):
not been smart. Okay, they have not been smart in
what they've been doing spending wise. It's almost like they
got the fever when Otani does, I did, Hey, I'm
gonna take all my money deferred in ten years. Because
what the Dodgers have done is they've spent what is it,
four hundred million dollars on salary and they have so
many needs at the trade deadline? Right, how does the
(09:13):
how do the Dodgers have so many needs?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
But they do?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Now this is the Yankees are in a battle just
to even make the postseason, and guys jobs are at
stake the Dodgers. This is about Hey, when you spend
four hundred million dollars, you're supposed to win the World
Series and instead you're just one of a lot of
other good teams. Why because the Dodgers have so many
injuries and why this is why they haven't been smart.
I'm sorry, but you're not smart. You can't spend five
(09:38):
hundred million dollars on pitchers and expect it to come through.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You saw it tonight Shoe Otani left the game in
the fourth inning with a cramp. Now you're hoping that
that's what it is with Otani, that it's a cramp,
But he has shown that he's not going to be
someone you can build the rotation around. He said two
UCL surgeries already. It's why I keep saying make them
a closer man. Make them a closer. You spend three
hundred million on Yamamoto who's had a good year, right,
but he was hurt last year. Doesn't matter. You won
(10:03):
last year, but he's having a good year. Okay, great,
But now you throw in glass now that you spent
thirty five million dollars a year on and the guy
has had problems staying healthy and you don't know what
he's going to be able to do to try to
to try to get you over the hump. Same thing
with Blake Snell. You overspent on Blake Snell. You gave
him thirty five million dollars a year, you know, and
got Tan or Scott. Okay, that's great, he was, but
(10:24):
you're paying a relief pitcher that kind of money and
he's been injured. You you've spent so much money on starting,
But you can have one guy that you're spending a
lot of money on, right, You can have the one
stopper you decide, Hey, he's gonna be our guy. We're
gonna spend a lot of money. But you have four
or five guys you are paying all kinds of money to,
and guess what. The long term investment in pitching is
(10:46):
not good. This is why most teams are going through
a philosophy and strategy of, hey, we want to get
a guy for a couple of years and if they
if they're ineffective, we can move on from them. The
Dodgers decided we're going all in just because we have
the money to spend. And I get it. It's like
when my dad walks around when he's got twenty dollars
in his pockets burning a hole. I gotta spend it.
Something like my dad can't have any money, I gotta
(11:08):
spend it. Like the Dodgers got this money, they decided, Okay,
now we can go out and spend money on Tyler Glass.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Now really was that the right investment at that point?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Right, Let's spend this money on Blake Snell, who's had
really just a couple of elite years. Oh, by the way, hey,
elite years when his contract is coming up. Right, you're
spending a lot of money on guys and Yamamoto, you
still don't know what he's gonna do long term for you.
Is he gonna be a great pit You want to
think he is right, and he's having a good year
this year, but still and Scott to the way, how
volatile relievers are when you want to get in and
(11:36):
out from contracts, Like the Dodgers have spent five hundred
million dollars on pitching when pitching is not a good investment.
So no, if you're investing in everyday players and you're
making moves to fortify the everyday lineup, hey man, good
luck trying to beat a team that does that. But
the Dodgers decided, hey, we struggle with pitching every year.
Guys get hurt. Let's go make us bulletproof for pitching.
(11:57):
Guess what you can't you can't do. You would think
the Dodge had like nine starting pitchers coming in at
where they how are they gonna possibly get off? Is
Kershaw even gonna be able to pitch? Is Heven gonna
crack this rotation? I look at where the Dodgers are now.
They've made so many mistakes because they went all in
on starting pitching again and big money on relief pitching,
and that's not a great investment, especially guys that have
(12:18):
shown their injury proof, their ineffective. They rolled the dice.
These were not moves that were hey, these were solid
over the top. This was if everything works, Boy, what
a great team. This is gonna be. But now you
are seeing the disaster scenario, which is all these pitchers
that are hurt and ineffective, and now suddenly the Dodgers
are mortal. No one's afraid of them. In the play,
(12:38):
no one's afraid of them. If you have to play
then now we still have two more months to go.
Dodgers got to make some moves at some point, but
right now, no one's afraid of the Dodgers. No one's
afraid to go into series again. What pitch you're gonna
throw at me? Who are you gonna throw at me?
You're gonna make Cofax and Drysdale if that happened, boy,
I'm really nervous at that point. But really, the Dodgers,
they have not spent that money that show hal Tani
gifted them smart enough, because starting pitching is a bad investment.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Well, I think a lot of it, though, Jason in
like the beauty of it is, we joke about it.
You can always go sell another painting and go back
into the marketplace. But and where they're at right now,
I think there we within two games of what their
record was a year ago. So it brobably doom and
gloom and everything else, like, Eh, they're right on pace
(13:22):
just because we had him as an over under. I
think it was what one oh four and a half
or one oh five and a half or whatever it
was that we talk about coming into the year, the
expectations of greatness. You highlighted the Blake Snell thing. It's
like when Rendon signed his thing contract with the Angels.
I don't think that we've ever been more right about
anything on the show with those things. And if Blake
(13:44):
Spell comes back and pitches like a house of fire
in the playoffs and whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
But at this point I'm taking a victory lap in
this moment, waiting for him to find his way back,
and by all reports, that's gonna happen soon enough. But
it also to tie into the larger issue for all
of the analytics and everything you buy, how about you
buy something that fixes the training room that these guys
(14:10):
it isn't a revolving door.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Okay, that guy's out.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Like I watched, I'm catching up on the season of
The Pit I finished it today.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Spoiler alert. There's a lot of chaos, but all.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Of it comes down to you do the best you
can with it, but you know, you're just trying to
shuttle people from one stop.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
To the next. That feels like what the Dodgers are doing.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We all talked about in the NFL for years, going
back with the Chargers and the Ravens. Right, how do
we get the big Kyrie Irving sage brush? Can you
build one big enough to clean out the demons in
your training room?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The Dodgers, it feels like every year we're.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Having that same questions, like, hey, they spent a lot
of money, all right, when's that guy going to the
IL can't call it the d L anymore? And yes,
Clayton Kershaw will by default have to pitch very meaningful
innings at the end of September. That's just where we
are in this process. Jason, Oh, it is absolute chaos.
Yet would anybody be surprised if at the end of
(15:05):
it all the honk of metal is residing in La
at thing at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
No, they wouldn't be. But to your point, yeah, it's
just a NonStop, congo line of injuries and ineffectiveness. Look
at the two pitchers they brought in to bolster the
back end. Not to mention that all of these guys
are what sixty appearances as we get ready for August
or high fifties for all these relievers.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Day of really churning and burning just like you did
in the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Oh good luck. I tell you it's just not smart.
I mean, it's great, do you pay, went out and
did it well, you got, but you gotta spend your
money smartly and say, Okay, maybe maybe you want to
fortify those everyday guys. Maybe that's what we want to
go do, or go over spend a little bit on
some bullpen guys, because eventually we're gonna get to the bullpen.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Let's find we can get by.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
With some start No, no, no, we're gonna go give all
kinds of money to players that we have no idea
if we can count on them, if they're going to
be ineffective, if they're going to be healthy, like say
Dodgs always now they showed you, they show you right now.
They should not be fallible. Right now, they are fallible.
They should be infallible. Let you know what they should be.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Just to tie it tie it up, though, I mean,
there are a couple of guys over in that line
that are making I almost said a term that can't
be FCC compliant, or maybe it is.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
We could test it, but it's the idea that Mookie
Bets and Freddie three been in a home run today.
It was his first in a month, and Mookie Bets
had always been dealing with some family stuff. But go
back to when he got sick before the trip to Japan.
That guy's not been right all season long. Trying to
move him to the to the leadoff spot. Maybe you're
seeing a.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Little bit more out of him going forward, but those
are two guys that are high priced that you were
banking on to have, maybe not repeats of a year ago,
but to keep things moving.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Hell, the best hitter in the National League has been
Will Smith.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Is head over three hundred's. There's only one guy over
one guy, one guy and then shoey Otani.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I mean we talked about him leaving the mound earlier.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Suddenly he's swinging at everything like he's in the home
run derby and they gave him a pitch limit exit.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
How about a Fresca exit, swollen dome.
Speaker 1 (17:12):

Speaker 4 (20:43):
League Baseball that was assessed and we got the information
about what it was faster than that show.

It's got no, no, no, no, everything's fine.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
He's got cramps. It was.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
It was so fast that where when I I first
saw the cramping update, it was just cramps.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It was in the headline.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
They hadn't even put it in the in the article yet,
like when you click on to read it, like it
was just Otani Lee's with cramps. Oh, let me click
on it. What happened?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
But it was the same recap.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
It was the same Associated Press recap or AI whatever
it was showing Otani left to night's game after blah
blah blah blah blah blah. So they didn't we just
want to get that out there. It's cramps. It's cramps
so fast, it's just cramps. It's okay, it's cramps. He's
absolutely fine. Like, the last thing the Dodgers want is like,
we do not want to have this go anywhere. We
are answering enough questions because we've completely biffed building a
(21:37):
team the right way, because we spent five hundred million
dollars on starting pitching, which is never a good investment.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
But hey, that's what the Dodgers did because.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
They had money burning a hole in their pocket, going na, NOA, NOA,
we don't need to go get another shortstop or that
not a. We'll move mookie bets around here, We'll do
all kinds of fun stuff. No, let's go spend money
on starting pitchers. That boy, we really have no idea
how they're gonna be from year to year. Let's go
give three hundred million dollars to Yamamoto, who maybe he's
gonna be healthy, maybe he's gonna be good, I don't know.
Let's give one hundred and fifty million dollars to Blake
(22:06):
Snell because the guy's had two really great years when
he's had contract GWS. Let's go give all this money
to Tyler glasto. Why not all this money they have spent,
and they've spent it so poorly because they decided, well,
we have everything, let's.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Just go spend this. You know, Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Your team is still really good, you have a lot
of young player You don't need to go spend money
on all. First of all, starting pitching is a horrendous investment.
It always has been, and I'm going back thirty years
and starting pitching has been a horrendous investment. Tell me
one team that signed a guy to an eight year
contract that's gonna say that was worth.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It every sing, No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's not worth it because guys get hurt, they get
an effective Starting pitching is an awful investment. And now
here's the Dodgers with a three hundred and fifty million
dollars payroll that needs all kinds of starting pitching out
but the deadline. Then you no team in the not
even the Mets when they were bad, when they spent
all this money, when it was like we our team is,
this is the worst team money can buy. Doesn't matter,
(23:02):
they don't have many more holes then the Dodgers have
to fill right now with spending that kind of money
like it's it's they're spending money, and they're spending it smartly.
And did they go out and do it? A lot
of other teams do yeah, sure, and I get that. Yeah,
well we have the money, let's go. Tyler glastew is available,
let's go get it. Blake Snell's let's go. But understand that, Okay,
maybe Blake Snell isn't the best long term investment. There's
(23:23):
reason why he's been on eleven teams so far, right,
Tyler Glasto, Yeah, okay, but is he Is he the
guy you want to go all in on and say
this is gonna be this is gonna be our ace.
I mean still, Clinton Kersher was the eighth starter on
the team, but when when the season started, now he's
the second starter. He's moved all the way up. He's
like Casper van Dean in uh in uh uh Starship Troopers,
(23:44):
where he starts off as a private and then everybody
above him just keeps getting killed by all these bugs,
and by the end of the movie the guy's a general.
It's like Clayton Kershaw started out as Casper van dan
and all with somebody, Hey, well he's got to be
at the end because everybody else in front of him
just keeps falling apart.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
That's when I ran into you on the battlefield yesterday.
Yes I was, Yes, I was.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
And for those that.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Are gonna go do the fact checking out Blake Snell,
Jason was speaking rhetorically. Metaphorically, Blake Snell has not bounced
around quite that much shit, but certainly, uh the Journeyman.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Tag the last couple of years. Uh, sure you could
do that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I'm gonna say, if you're gonna go fact check Jason
Smith on our Starship Troopers, yeah, good luck with that one.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Well, you know the only reason it came up was
you were thinking of Diana Meyer.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well of course, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that the
guy's been on four teams, right, the guys that has
been on four teams, right. I mean, and I'm telling you, man,
I don't I don't know what to say. I mean, Yes,
the Dodgers went out and they spent money because they
had it, because O'tani says, I'm gonna help you.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
So yeah, you have to. You have to.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
You have to spend that money, right, but you gotta
spend it wisely. Maybe it's okay. Well, we've been really
trying to replace Corey Seeger since he left, and we
know we tried a little bit with Trey Turner but
he didn't stay. Let's take care of our ore every
the big holes we have at every day positions. But instead, no,
because we've run into this problem with starting pitching every year,
let's go out spend all kinds of over the top money.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I'm not saying you shouldn't spend money on starting pitching,
but hey, maybe three years and seventy million for a
guy is where you should go instead of you know,
six years and two hundred million dollars. Right, maybe hey,
let's spend some of this money on starting pitching. But
let's make sure we get a shortstop. That is that
we've been trying to figure out it, like these are
the ways should be spending money, and the Dodgers went
and spent it. Like hey, like that again. I just
(25:35):
go back to my dad. My dad gets twenty bucks
in his pocket and he's like, I gotta go. I
gotta go spend this. But Dad, you don't have to
go spend it. Just go home watch TV. No, I
gotta spend that. I got money, I got night.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I know what to do.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Like, that's what the Dodgers did, and they spent all
this cash and yeah, it looks great on paper. And
before the season I said, man, if this team comes through,
this is the best roster I've ever seen. Yeah, but
look what happens. This is what happens is starting pitching.
This is what happens, Larry, That's what happens.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yeah, I mean, look, when we go through their money's spent,
certainly there are a number of points where you're just
kind of going, hey, no question about it. The fact
that you have a number of guys that can't get
on on the field certainly exacerbates the issue because we're
watching the bullpen have to pick up so many appearances
(26:19):
and innings along the way. But I mean they are
still top heavy hitteror wise, even with his deferred money
show hey, and Mookie and and Freddie Freeman making some
considerable corn coin. The fact that Michael Conforto is one
of those guys that would crack the top ten on
the roster without really playing up to that gets into
into stuff. I mean, fortunately you got Andy Pajas, who's
(26:42):
a nice bargain, so he gets to you know, dollar
cost averaging for you to take a little bit of
that pain away. But yeah, you invested a lot in
the closer position. You got two guys right now, you
don't trust that. That's the the other.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Part of it.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Now, since we are sitting here, I've beginningle to have
more baseball.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
On the way. Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I got a great hot take for you, like I've
bet okay for a while. Yeah yeah you No, No,
I got a great hot take home and you realize
you're gonna go, oh, this is not really that hot.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Uh. We're in early days.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
In training camp in the NFL, and clearly still the
Browns quarterback situation is where we are all defaulting to. Right,
the two big stories the Browns quarterback position because of
Shador Sanders and how Aaron Rodgers is doing in Pittsburgh
with the Steelers. But every day there seems to be
a new piece of information on the Browns, on Sanders,
(27:37):
on Dylan Gabriel, on Flaco, on Kenny Pickett. Right, the
four guys they have, and now that Kenny pickets at
a little bit with with his hamstring injury, that's gonna
that's gonna be a bit, right, He's gonna miss some
time he's gonna miss some reps. You have four quarterbacks,
You're you're trying to figure something out with. Now here's
my hot take, right, Okay, everybody's expecting it. At some
(27:58):
point in this preseason, the Browns are gonna realize that,
you know, we can't give everybody enough reps.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
We're gonna cut one of them.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
We're gonna trade one of them, recoop a draft picks
somewhere else, and we're gonna go for We're gonna have
three quarterbacks, right, We're gonna do something like that, and
you know, one guy's gonna get injured. Maybe where were that?
But I'm gonna tell you this right because understand that
the Browns are in a season where they are tanking. Right,
They've already been answering questions about Arch Madness, and we're
not tanking for Arch Manning. Okay, this is a team
(28:27):
that you're spending all the money on de Sean Watson,
I understand, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett. Then you draft Dylan Gabriel,
who I don't think was on anybody's draft board before
the fifth round, and then you went out and got
your Door Sanders, which, oh yeah, we wind up getting it,
we will. We passed them over five times, we still
went out and got them. I'm gonna tell you this
this year for the Cleveland Browns, all four of them
(28:51):
will start at least one game.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
They will all.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Start a game this season for Cleveland because of a
combination of injury and ineffectiveness and they're tanking, all four
of them will. Don't keep all four of them because
they'd be ner. You can't let Flack Goo go because
he's the guy the break lass in case something really
bad happens. He's got to play, right. Kenny Pickett's a
guy you went out and went a lot to go get.
So you're not gonna get rid of Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You went out and Madejay he's the guy we're bringing
in that we expect to be our bridge quarterback. Or
maybe he can. He's a first round pick. Like they
went out and spent a lot to go get him, right,
or they went out did put the most resources in
getting Kenny Pickett. And then you drafted two rookie quarterbacks
who may wind up being good, maybe not, so you
want them to see the field too. Now, I'll be
the first guy to tell you don't I don't know
(29:37):
what the order is gonna be, because Pickett's injury is
sort of putting a you know, putting a bit of
a wrench in that timeline. But they're gonna hold on
to all four of these guys. They will find a
way to keep them all on the active roster because
it's the Browns and they stink, and they're going at
some point this season they'll want to see what they
have out of all of them, or they'll.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Be forced to.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
All four of them will start a game for the
Browns this season. Book it as they walk to the field.
Fantastic four. Okay, not really. And then there's the one
guy saying, hey, do you think you can make five?
We'd like to introduce you as five. No, no, no,
we're four. We're only four.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Soon enough, man, I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Look, Joe Flacco is the guy that's you know, just
gonna be in the epsom salts and waiting his turn.
You've seen what he can do. You don't need to
learn anything new. Canny Pickett missing time, Stefanski. I mean,
this could have been the reclamation project. They don't know
what they're doing over in Pittsburgh. We'll bring him in
x Steeler now good following the old jet formula that
(30:38):
seems to be going around in the National Football League
like a plague. There's only one more year after this
of the Deshaun Watson contract. You've got him for twenty
five and twenty six before you have the void year.
So you got to ride that out as you will.
I did find it funny, and we talked about it
a little bit. Rich Hornberger in for you yesterday, Jason.
The idea that Haslam gets up there, he's answering all
(30:59):
sorts of questions and asked about drafting Shad or Its
just like, oh no, that's all Barry. That is completely
just Barry from head to toe. I got nothing to
do with that. You all wanted depending on me, says like,
so if it goes wrong, you've already you've got him
halfway out on the plank at this point, because you're
already gonna blame him for Deshaun Watson too, because Barry
(31:20):
at one point was doing all the dance of like no, no, no,
that was a team effort. That was a team effort.
That wasn't me. I wasn't pushing for that. So yeah,
you're fantastic. Four and just pass the baton like a
fifteen hundred meter relay.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Could very well be the case, just out of necessity.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I mean, but Joe Flacco, if you let him out
there long enough, you're gonna win a game or two
by accident. So, whether it's for Arch Manning or for
someone else, you still want the number one pick, even
if Arch goes back to school. Don't you want somebody
good as opposed to drafting fourth or fifth or and
then having to wish and hope.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah, I think you do.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
So eventually it's Pickett and the rookies that'll be they'll
roll the ball out and have them going. Okay, because
now because now you got me thinking about this, okay, yeah, okay.
Joe Flacco is mister Fantastic, right, he's the leader, the
old Yeah, the older guy, the guy that's seen everything. Right,
he's mister fantastic, little Gray in the temple. Yeah, so
we got that.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Shador Sanders is Johnny right, human torch right, he drives
fast too. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the guy. He's
the guy you had the speeding tickets. It works, oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
See.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Dylan Gabriel is the is the Invisible Girl because people
forget he's there.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
So, oh wow, a super Bowl champion, I mean yeah,
I mean I guess it makes Kenny pick it Ben Grimm,
But I mean like that, that's the one that doesn't
really fit, like it's only because there's four.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
And he's yeah there, I guess that's a tough one.
Don't really have one. Dylan Gabriel one comes a mini thing? Yeah,
uh no, Dylan, get you forget about him. I'd be
really because the Invisible Girl could she can turn? Yeah,
although she didn't really do a lot of invisibility stuff
and fantastic.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
For but well, I mean you really don't hire Vanessa
Kirby to be invisible?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, that was probably something from a raging So she's
not gonna spend modes of the movie invisible, right, so
you're gonna pay okay, great? Good with their powers, Yeah,
gonna use the force field powers that she has, right, Yeah, okay,
great to want to make sure that you know, I
don't want trick pony here. We got out of being sure, Yeah,
because I saw that deal you cut with Moss backrack
where he's only gonna be in like a couple of
flashbacks as a human, So uh, I want a better
(33:26):
deal than that, just just so you know, all.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Right, all right, great, thanks appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
And none of let's look at you on the nose
with the cooking thing that was in the trailer, so
that's not a spoiler.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
But man, come on now, hey, none of this. Hey
we're gonna steal from the bear. We're putting you in
the kitchen where we're gonna make some stuff. Right, maybe
maybe you're gonna put you in a suit. Hey, I
wear a suit. Now, I didn't know I wear suits.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
That's what happens.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Real those guys, all four of those guys are gonna
start a game. You can just see it, like if
if if Picket comes back and he is healthy enough, right,
I'll try to do this just because we have Pickett's
injury is really what's what's making this difficult. But let's
say Picket comes back and they're all healthy for the
beginning of the season, right, if they're all the season,
Pickett will start first, and then it will probably be Flacco.
(34:10):
If something bad happens or if Pickett is ineffective, right,
they'll go to Flacco because there'll still be in the
time of wanting to of wanting to win games, and
then Flacco will play for a little bit, the season
will start to get out of control. Maybe Flacco's ineffective
because you know he's over forty and he's not always.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Going to be good.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Then it will be we need to see Schador, Sanders.
We need if you're gonna have somebody go, then you'll
see Sanders, and then you'll see Dylan Gabriel. You will
see all of them at some point, maybe maybe Gabriel
before Sanders, just because clearly they want to, you know,
really want to make Schador earn it. But I would say,
if they're all healthy, it's gonna go Picket, then Flacco,
(34:47):
then Gabriel, and then Shador. But they will all start
at least one game for the Browns this year.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
What about the absolute potential for the chaos theory really
coming to bear?
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Uh see what I did there?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
You know, Flacco start and we know, like even when
he's at his best, he's gonna put the ball up
for grabs. But eventually we're gonna have a number of
quarterbacks injured across the league, and for a bucket of
balls he gets traded.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
They might all not finish the season on the Rock. Yeah, roster,
but they will all start a game for them before
they get trapped.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
That'll happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Still drag Jerry Judy. Guys, someone's gonna catch the ball.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Look, once you get down to the you know, the deadline,
and it's like, hey, you know, hey, we're down to
Gabriel and Shador and you know, Kenny Piggy. Okay, hey Joe,
why don't you go, Hey, the Cowboys need a quarterback.
Why don't you go to the Cowboys? I no, no, absolutely,
something like that.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
They won't all finish the season on the Rough, but
they'll all start one game for the Browns.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Well, I'm already going to petition for a Panini Instant
card of the four of them together so I can
celebrate the greatness that was the cleaning out Fantastic four, Fantastic.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Four, but all well, they all walk out the beginning
of the game they play that they play half the
song going for perfect tie in.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
It is brown like kind of like the Rock, not
quite the Dudewipes guy that was on there when the
dude fell off when they unveiled the helmet, which is
still problematic to me. The shade of brown and then
you got the dude wipes tied. But you know you
do what you do.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
No I got just because that's the best part of
the movie was that fantastic four. Like that's a really
good musical trill right there. Like all four of them
walk out. They all wear fours. They're all the same number.

What's happening man?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
How are Jordan loves? How easy? We haven't had the
Jordan love thing come for a while. If Roshburg on
location in Canons, Yeah, so you're looking live from Tom
Benson Stadium tomorrow. Is that what we're going to be doing?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I think that's exactly where to be doing. Frostburg.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
He's a busy guy.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
The game that's interesting for five minutes.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Okay, Hey, Trey Lance is going to play meaningful football
to him?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Correct that. For him, it's extra, extremely meaningful. I would
absolutely agree with that. For everybody else, they're going to
be waiting for about another month.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Guy, what's your big gambling best bet for that day tomorrow?
Jason and a half? You're over.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Completions over under for Trey Lance? What five and a half?
I go with the over. I give them a chance.
We'll get a chance on that. Is there anything somebody
said to me the other day? They say, yeah, how
about betting on the pre Like what? What? What? What?
And oh, you got to hear about these guys they hit,
(39:27):
they hit. I'm like, hey, you always have from the
guys who win. You never hear from the guys who lose.
And that's like the vast majority of people who dare
to bet in the preseason, Like, why would you bet
on guys that are never going to actually play in
the NFL? What are you doing.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Well, Jake Hole?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I think if the deeper dive you do into gambling,
you realize that sometimes there's nothing generous.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
It's a generous yeah flipping the coin, that's yeah, yeah,
let's let's make that work. You know, what's what's going
to happen?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
I get it so yeah, John Harbas fourteen? What color Khakis?
Does Jim Harbo waan Tomar? Are they beige? Are they ten?
Are they silver? What color? Tackies says they Wait, you.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Think it's John Harbas? I don't think it's brother. Yeah,
I think you get the wrong hardball. So we're also
a really bad start here.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Well, you want to get your line for tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Come on, trying to give you a lot for tomorrow
for the game to bet on Chargers.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Come on, man, lord, lord lord, just stop it, to
stop it.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
All right?
Speaker 2 (40:34):
What do we want to talk about? Real football? Come on,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Oh I was gonna tie.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Okay, Hey, all right, so I gave you I gave
a big hot take a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
What do you think about this? You ready?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Okay? Wait, hear this, can't wait?
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Fantastic?
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
All four Browns quarterbacks start at least one game for
them this.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Year, So Gabriel should or Flaco and it was.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
The fourth ticket Bryan side.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yeah, Brian said. Brian said, definitely could start this year, though,
that's the way that would be a problem.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Now, wait a minute, Ben, Brian think Brian Sipe is
hanging on Cardio.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Probably alive, he's still he's probably still hanging in. But
that Brian, that that gives him a better chance to start.
That's a pretty good take. I gotta tell you this
that I like that. Most of the time, I want
to find a reason to hate your takes. No, I
(41:33):
gotta give it to you. So this is a good one. Yeah,
give orders especially I love it. Which, Yeah, that's the
real that's the real thing you got to figure out
is in what order do they start games during the seasons.
So you're guessing it's going to be Flaco right off
the bat, right.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Well, I'm thinking if Picket is healthy, and that's the
big wrench in this now is that you know, with
with the with the injury, but if they're all healthy,
it's going to go Picket Flacco. Gabriel Sanders strong.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
Bet.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
I think it's I think they're going to go with
a healthy hand to start, and so I would go
flack on Picket, But I think you have the tail
and the last two nails, especially when Jimmy housem is going,
oh no, no, that's Andrew Berry's fault. That Let's make
it clear, that's sadur guy. That's on Andrew Berry. Let's
(42:26):
just I just can I can I repeat this one
more time? Sedure his pick not the one I thought
we were going to be taking, like Jimmy has them
for a really nice guy. Cannot get out of it
out of his own way, just like get it wrong
every time, like instead of saying the thing you should say,
which is he's our guy and we believe in him
(42:48):
and we hope that he turns out being a star,
and we're behind him all the way. And you know,
and Andrew was in the lead of that pick, and
I'm an agreement with him and let's go.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Yeah, make it sound like I got nothing to do
with this guy. I couldn't. Like he is radioactive as
far as I'm concerned, Like he's plutonium the weapons. Great.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Yeah, I was waiting for him to circle back and
say remember that to Shaun Watson thing that was all
him too, and just put.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
It all on anybody but me. I'm taking blame for
Deshaun Watson until twenty fifty on this one. It's just
so brutal since they've never they're never getting out of that.
So anyways, but.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
No, but then Dylan Gabriel by Halloween and then Shador
Sanders early December.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Ooh ooh, this is now you're really talking about, Like
I'll see it because because let's say Ticket's terrible, so
he losts three or four.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Games until the season becomes okay, they were one and
seven and it's over and we're tanking.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Oh I want to I think they I think they
pull him tof so than that, because if you're if
you're starting Ticket, you're of the belief that you can
turn him into something. And if and if if you
turned it in, if he goes one in seven, that's
a complete indictment of Stefanski, Right, So Stefan sit there
(44:18):
and go, that's that's on me, and you lose your
job if you just sit there and say this is
why I think Flaco Flatto starts the season. I do.
I think that he goes.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
And especially if if if he if Picket is hurt,
then Flacco would start. It would flip flop would go
Flacco first and Picket.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah, the injuries that right, But but but I think
that you know, stefanci go like a we're contender, will
go with the guy who gives us the best chance
to win games, and that's Flacco. And then if it
blows up. Then you go, okay, well, you know, we
give it our best shot, and now let me see
what I can do with picket. That's that's what I
think you do. I mean, okay, if you combined all
(44:58):
four of these guys at this had a good career,
If you combined all four of these guys like you
still wouldn't have a good starter.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
He started voltroning this guy and still not going right.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Like you just melt them together and they're still terrible.
There's I mean, there's nothing. It's just a zero. It's
just an absolute zero. Like I mean, Flaco Flacos obviously
had a very good career. He's not part of the
(45:33):
Hall of very Good. Let me just say that, but
he's had a very good career, very good. I knew
where that was going, but before it didn't started.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
But he would get.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Into the Hall of very good though, if you know,
if there's a Hall of very good, Flacco would get in.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Yes, he would if there was a hall. But it's
a hall of fame.
Speaker 4 (45:54):
Oh yeah, you could build another museum. Okay, A lot
of fan favorites would be there. I mean we might
get some tourism, you.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Can get Yeah, you can get you can get Jojia
Kobe in there. That's a that's a good one. That's
a good night at that point.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
All right now, now let me let me, let me,
let me throw this left turn at you. Now, okay,
how many weeks? Let me say this? Who's the quarterback
of the Browns when Aaron Rodgers loses his job?
Speaker 3 (46:24):
With this?
Speaker 2 (46:24):
Why are when Aaron Rodgers losing his job?
Speaker 1 (46:28):
How long does Aaron Rodgers make it? Does he make
it all the way through the season? Does he make
it to December? Like when when Will Howard starts? Like
at that point, who's starting for the Browns?
Speaker 2 (46:42):
What are we doing? Like back up Parlan? Or is
this like are you doing? Like I got it? I'm
going to Vegas this weekend and I'm betting the backup
parway He's trying. When do I get to Will how
Howard Dylan Gabriel bad? You know, when do I get
that part? Am I going? Where do I? Where? When
(47:02):
do I bet the sure? Like this is really advanced stuff.
I get to see you like, you know, you're really
way out of it, because wow, if those if those
guys are starting like you might as well just end
the season. For those teams early he's play, Yeah, we're
we're If you're if those guys are starting, that means
(47:26):
you're already thinking. You might as well, just like the
entire the entire coaching staff might as well just scout
games college games there to see what their next their
next players are. Let me ask you what, Let let
the player, Let the players coach themselves. That's what they
should do, like you know, like you do that that
(47:47):
eventually happens like sometimes that you know, like high school
practice games, like the coach walked away and says, hey,
I want to see how you guys do it. Go
catch yourselves right now. Let me see who can handle it,
who steps up and as the leader. That's what That's
what happens to the Steelers and of the Browns this year.
If you've got Howard and you've got either Gabriel or
Sanders starting at the end of her like they just
(48:08):
walk off and go, hey, guys, handle it yourselves. Put
the game playing together. Let me see what you can do.
Speaker 3 (48:13):
All right?
Speaker 4 (48:14):
Well, let me ask you one more over under though,
how many more times will Jerry Jones insult Michael Parsons
before finally putting a contract in front of.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Him at least seventy two.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Okay, good, we'll drag this out a little while longer.
I like this.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Oh yeah, what's the deadline? When's the deadline on this contract?
So like, whatever, whatever the deadline is, He's going to
milk this all the way. I love Stephen Jones. Oh,
we don't do that. You do it every single time.
Why don't even just say I'm not getting into that, Like,
don't lie about it, because we all know that you
(48:52):
do it. You're playing up because this is the way
the cowboys create drama because they're not a good like
they have to have Tom extended contracts and cowboy bees.
It's like that combination. It's what they have to have
to generate interests. You have to have Jerry walking me
entering the field in auctionard in that beekeeper outfit. That's
(49:14):
the only thing that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
It makes it work.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
It literally is a beekeeper out there. You guys are laughing.
Have you seen it? It's a beekeeper outfit. That's what
he wears. He doesn't want any he doesn't want any
son to touch any part of his skin, not one
single partam.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
You know they had the state some guy in the
first beekeeper. I'm going to be starting the beekeeper too,
So just so you know, state them hands and rain.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
We're signing a free agent beekeeper for here. He's gonna
be He's gonna be a very good He is the
b version of Michael. He's way better than he's just
he's not very good against the run. But the when
(50:00):
those bees start to run, he catched the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:03):
We'll go for murder horners too.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
They met.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
The murder hornets were supposed to take over the Pacific
Court West and just eat their way all the way
to Nebraska by now.
Speaker 3 (50:10):
But yeah, we're able to stop the murder horns.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
So it's amazing that you're Jerry gets worse and worse
the more you do it. Well, I couldn't get worse.
I could get worse. Well, how can you not? How
can you not get better at doing Jerry Like I
been a week.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
It's been a week away from me doing Jerry impression. No,
it's it's good.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
Banks. He was the greatest ever doing Jerry Jones. He
was sure. I wish I had recorded it, but he
was so good.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
But no, my Jerry's pretty good. You're the only one
that does no yeah, you're the only one.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
I'm just the only one who's willing to tell you
in this conversation.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Now, listen, you're the one that don't You don't you
don't like you don't like the Parsons kid. But I
liked him ever since Big Bang Theory. So just so
you know, we're gonna give him big contract at some
point to wait for the best time to get a
headline to do it.
Speaker 2 (51:04):
I was sing when it was the Alan Parsons project.
I love the Alan Mark.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
I tell you I had the eye outside.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
That's and that was the best persons I ever had.
That was then Jimbo came along and yeah, he just
tore it up there with all the planets and stuff,
and you know, and now we got we got Mike
and he's tearing it up. But he just he's afraid
of the runs. I just can't paign him that kind
of moment.
Speaker 3 (51:30):
You you you don't even have an impression.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
You just sound like I'm talking fast in your voice,
like you're you're that's a that's a that's an awful impression.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
Is that we said's pretty good compared you looked at dude, Cole.
It's really it's awful. It's really, it's it's future. Harmon's
got Harmon. Be honest with him, tell him, tell him
how bad it is.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
He said, we honest, be honest like that in the
bumblebee bee honestly, all right, take it easy, buddy.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
We'll actually later because it's a goal.
