Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Tani basically had two great games last night, all right,
first play two games. He started out four for four,
two doubles, two homers, including the game time blast, and everything.
From that point on he was intentionally walked basically five times,
got come four one we're intentional, the fifth ones like,
we're not actually gonna intention but we're not actually gonna
(00:49):
do it. Over the play, everything's gonna be seven inches
off the place. He could have done that on all
of those.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Instead of giving him like his making him feel special,
I would have just pitched him making him feel special,
because now he's like, oh, they're afraid of me.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
They didn't win its specially they're afraid of me, and
they're not gonna pitch to me.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The rect of this series. I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The game Blue Jays manager John Snyder was asked about
the never ending walks for show Atani and he says, quote,
he had a great game, He's a great player. But
I think after that, talking about the seventh inning home run,
you just kind of take the bat out of his hands.
So the speculation from that point was, well, are they
just not gonna pitch to Otani the rest of the series?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Then?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And Bob Nightingale caught up with the manager today before
Game four and he said, are you guys actually gonna
intentionally walk Otani to lead off the game?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Then?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
If you're gonna take the bat of his hands, Schneider says, quote,
we haven't decided yet.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, so it's on the table. John Schneider, the manager
of the Toronto Blue Jays, is a coward. What a
capital C you hear me? Is this on? Come on now?
Oh Tani's all of a sudden that you can't pitch
to him? I get in certain situations. I'm with you, Kelvin.
He almost blew the game in the ninth inning. Would
(02:12):
he put him on with nobody out and if he
didn't slide off the bag, what would have happened?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Man?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
On second?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
They probably would have won the game right there, because
you were too coward to pitch the show. Hey o Tani.
And in reality, the longer it went, the more your
odds are that he wasn't gonna get another hit because
he was four for four. If you, if you're a
great player, you actually get three hits every ten times up,
that makes you a great player. So the odds swing
(02:40):
any other way after he goes four for four. There
are circumstances. I get it, Second and third and first
base open. I get that, create a force at every base.
They had to be a ground ball somewhere. You could
force out at any base, right, I get that. Putting
him on with nobody, with nobody on in the ninth
inning and talking about maybe we'll decide if we walk
(03:04):
him the lead off the game, Get off of it.
Nobody's that good If I'm a picture on it on
the Toronto Blue Jays. Whatever happened to competition? Is he
hitting with a tennis racket? What am I looking at?
Are you kidding me? I'm a major league pitcher. I
(03:24):
can get show Hail Tani out. Guess what he batted
this year two eighty Guess what he was batting? Before
last night two twenty five. Stop it this over glorification.
Oh my god, We've never seen anything like this. We
should just walk him. Oh Tony, why don't we give
(03:45):
you four RBIs and four home runs and you don't
have to do anything. Where's the competition that's involved. There's
no strategy here. This is being a coward with a
capital C. It almost makes you want to root against
the Blue James. If you're gonna play scared, attack that dude.
He has weaknesses in this playoff. He struck out sixteen
(04:08):
out of thirty four at bats at one point Kelvin.
So there's holes in his batting, in his batting stands,
and you can get him out.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I tip my cap.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
He had a great night.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
You're not gonna pitched to him. I'm not buying it.
So you absolutely are are right in that. To me,
there's a level of gamesmanship. There's two parts of this.
Rob One part is sometimes at the end of the day,
whatever the sport may be, we also like the game,
and so for instance, I use it at a hack
a shack.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Nobody's saying you can't hack a shack.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
At times it's strategic, right, Games closed six seven minutes.
Ga't laugh, you're down a handful of points. But the
idea of hey, Rob, soon as the game starts, we're hacking,
shack the entire game.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
You lose the spirit of the.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Game, right if you're taking the eagle said all right,
from beginning of the game, we're to just pushing.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Period.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
We figured we can get two three yards every time,
two three times four story with us twelve. And then
we get it like no, use it when you need it,
We get it. Fourth and one. You're on the end zone,
you're the goal line, we get it. And so the
intentional walk is created for that. So the idea that
you would go into it knowing we're gonna intentional walk
and what does that say to your team is also
what I'm interested in. Because your pitchers had done relatively well.
(05:22):
So Tani's been fantastic the last handful of games. We
know that, But what does that say to your team
when the messages, man, we're walking him period, Like no, hey,
let we our pitching staff can do well.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Your catcher can call a game.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Your outfield can say, hey, man, he ain't go hit
on the run, and I can catch some d balls
if it come out.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
My way, So I think that might send a bad message.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Also, when you look at this baseball been around one
hundred and fifty years whatever it is before last night,
only Albert Pools have been intentionally walked with the bases
empty in the World Series game, and that was back
against the Rangers. They did that in Game five of
the twenty eleven World Because it's crazy. So that's my
point is this never happens. It happened once with you know,
fourteen years ago with Albert Poojos. And then if you're
(06:03):
talking about the single season record of all time being walked,
it goes to Andre Dawson back in nineteen ninety. They
walked him five times. Loup Pannella walked him five times.
So if you're calling it four with Otani or really
was five, then he would match that if we keeping
it real. I just don't like it because what it
does to me, it takes the spirit of the game.
It takes while we love game, that takes the competition away.
(06:26):
And it would lead to me them having conversations in
the offseason, you know, and they have those meetings and
what do we need to do? Conversation about rule changes,
and they would start to have a rule change consideration.
I say they would, but that could happen because or less,
you're just saying the powers. The greatness of Otani is
the fact that they would consider a rule change like
they did with some Chamberlain type stuff or somebody. You
(06:49):
can't dunk, you can't touch the rim because you're too dominant.
But I just feel like that's taken away from the
spirit of the game to just simply say, if this
game goes five, six or seven, we're automatically walking him.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I wish they would walk him to start the game.
I'm dead serious.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
They very well made.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
They ain't no way.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
He has what five home runs? You know what a
first pitch should be. A pitch should be, should be
right up under his chin. That's where the first pitch.
This is nineteen ninety two to him, no more. That's
what you want to do.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You want to you want to neutralize old tany, make
him uncomfortable in a batter's box, don't make him feel
like he's arrived and nobody can get him out. It's
absolutely ridiculous. I'm not talking about head hunting.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I'm talking about get him comfortable, make him drop that
bat and fall to his stomach.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
All right, that's what you want to do. That's how
you shake that dude up.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
The problem is he's a robot, and he would literally
get back up, do his little put his bat on
the home plate to see how far his distance is,
and get right back to it. You know what The
craziest part of this is, too, is that if they
walk him, don't walk him, whatever, he himself still has
a chance to beat them today on the mound. If
he goes six or seven, he might get He might
shout to that that's true. But I'm saying the fact
(08:00):
that he has a chance to after what he did
yesterday and what he does get chilled today, and if
he goes seven innings and gives up one and his team,
you know, puts up three or four.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Man, he what six?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Last time?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I'm gonna say, he goes three innings and he gives
up six runs. How's that?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
That would be the easiest bet I'll take that. I
ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Was you shooking when I told y'all Clayton Kershaw robbed
you YouTube?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
It's not what you told.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, No, that's not what you said.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I remember, not robbed you Remember that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
He said that, he said to close out the World Series.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
They didn't know. They didn't knowed more. They didn't know
they need it more.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
That was that was the thought.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
It was over.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
No, they did not.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
They were like, come close this thing up they did
game wasn't please He's doing it on what's Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Everybody? Let me tell you something. Everybody all Dodger fans

Speaker 1 (09:58):
So we talked about the rate, okay, and then win
that they had.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Hotley looked like he was like, who needs to starting quarterback?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Probably that, but but the idea that they won that game,
that was a really good precursor to Lamar coming back
on Thursday, Like, like, seriously, and this team, we know
this that there two Derek, can we fumbles away from
winning two more? You know what I mean? Like like
there were two games that he cost them. Would you
would agree, right for sure? One definitely okay, but there
(10:30):
was two games that they probably would have won had
he not fumbled in the situations that he did, and
it counts and I'm not trying to take him away.
And they lost the games and all that, and their
defense wasn't good to start the season giving him forty
points a week or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
They have too much talent. They're getting healthier if they
get their can they make a run in this division. Absolutely,
And my pick rob g before the season started because
he always says, I'm do I pick the Packers every year? No?
But I picked the package this year. And that was
before the Michael Parser's trade, right, because it wasn't that
(11:08):
right before the season. I remember we I think I
picked the Packers. I think you did right, I did
before and then they got them. So and I picked
the Baltimore Ravens like you you picked the Ravens, but
I think you picked the who you picked the Lions?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Ravens Lions?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah? Like like, uh, he's talking about me. And every
pick is the Lions and the Tigers and the Piston.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You know, I picked the Mariners. Mariners Dodgers was my
World Series pick. See, I keep s it real, son,
I don't mind picking against them. And the problem with
the Lions is now they were there fifteen to two,
the twenty one carried one twenty one and four, meaning
they don't really lose.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
And since I've been.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
A part of this show, No, no, what are you
talking about? You don't count playoff losses. We'll talk about regularly. No,
I'm talking about the playoff laws. They don't you don't
count those No, I mean dicking.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I'm saying, gonna see what we count on we do
our I count the postseason even if you do, that's
a lot. Okay, So they're twenty one and five, rob
and I got to include a win so they'd be
twenty two.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Why whatever?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
All right? My point is that I'm serious. I still
I think the Ravens can make a run. And you know,
I don't flip flop. I'm sticking with my super Bowl pick,
but I don't think if they can get it going
and get in the playoffs, I think that they could
still make a run if they get everybody right, if
everybody's healthy, if guys play not they don't have to
(12:39):
play play to their resumes, you know what I mean,
play to their abilities, because they they weren't doing that
when the first when the season first, Am I crazy?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
You're you're you're a crazy light And the only reason
why I'm not going full blown crazy is because of
Lamar Jackson. And he's just that much of a day
French maker that if it came down to a game
or two they needed to win, He's just that good
that he can win a game or two to make
them win a division or at least, you know, find
(13:08):
some wild car spot getting there, and then from there
you let the chips fall where they may. And again,
he's just that good. So that's why I'm not gonna
say you're you're full on crazy. I will say, however,
I just don't like what I'm saying from them as
a total unit. Defensively, they've gotten better, but you know,
they're not where they should be where we all kind
of thought they would be. With the guys if you
look at the back names in the back of the jersey,
(13:30):
they're not where there should be.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Dereck Henry.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Surprisingly, you thought when Lamar Jackson would go out, they
would like say, kind of what San Francisco has been doing.
They said, all right, party's out, this guy's out, whole
receiving groups out. We're gonna rely on McCaffrey. He's been
getting the ball like crazy. That's not the case, Deck Henry.
He's got a couple of touchdownscause they were right there
at the red zone. But he's not going crazy. He's
not getting a buck, twenty buck, forty buck, fifty to
(13:52):
thirty carries. We're just gonna ride the horse. It's not
been that, so I don't know what they are right now.
I don't so I don't like the total team as
a whole. But again, the only reason why I'm giving
you crazy light is because Lamar Jackson in his prime
right now, is just that good that if he matches
up against the right team and needs to win this
game to win the division or wildcard spot, it will
(14:14):
be very hard for me to go against him, depending
as long as it's not like one or two teams,
because he's just that good and he's that unique that
it's hard to gain plan for him.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I just think like their roster and their talent is
to read you picked them for a reason, Yeah, I'm
just saying, and they haven't played up to their potential.
You got plenty of time to get there, is what
I'm saying. It's a long season. We saw them last year,
rob g. I want you to read out the schedule too,
what's coming up. But remember the last they were owing
to and most teams that start owing to don't make
(14:45):
the playoffs, and we were like, we're gonna make the playoffs,
right exactly, both of us. They won seven of the
next eight, And that's what I'm saying. With Lamar coming back.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
That's not crazy. I said, he's that good.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I mean, give us a schedule, Rob g and let's
see what like wil lines.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
While in order for them to make the super Bowl,
like you have them win the super Bowl, they got
to make the playoffs first. In order to make the playoffs,
they got to get out of this two and five
hole they dug themselves in. But this schedule shapes up
very very well if you were.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Believing the division alone is easy.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So Thursday against the Dolphins, Dolphins are not very good, Okay,
so there could be a w right there. Then they
get the mini by right because you played Thursday, got
ten days for the next game. They travel to Minnesota,
but JJ McCarthy so far has only played one good quarter. Okay.
Then it's in Cleveland, Dylan Gabriel, nothing to really get excited.
It's at home against Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You look at those right there, and let's so let's
say they lost one of them, just.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
So, then then they're at home to Joe Flacko win
them down. There might be plucky because the Bengals suddenly
got an offense. But it's at home.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
But it's still winnable.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Right then it's at home against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers,
so both the two tougher games are at home. Then
after that then they go to Cincinnati and they close
it with Bengals Patriots. It's Packers Steelers. So that Week
eighteen game with the Steelers division that will be crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And that's also not crazy, I meaning that that's not
far fetched.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But that's why that's why I'm feeling, you know what
I mean, Like especially with Lamar coming not not winning
that game, because I thought they need to win that game,
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I thought that.
And then for Steelers that that loss hurt them as well.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
The Bengals lost, they were up fifteen or someone like
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Left to take come on.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
And to the Jets who couldn't score a big loss
for them because to Rob G's point, it's not they
expected to be a powerhouse. But with that offense and
Joe Flacco kind of mane, you like, if they can
just win enough because maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Nine games wins the Division ten division, But how the
defensive coordinator still employed? I'm serious, Like, to the Jets,
that's okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
To that, first of all, don't disrespect a guy like that.
I just can't get Justin Fields. Okay, that's right.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
What am I do? Lord?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Lord looked out?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Oh God, rob G real quick question.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I know we got it up against that. We got
a teas here, we got the callers. Me and Doub
were talking off the air yesterday about the MVP.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Were about me first?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yes, we were now yesterday, Oh yeah, yeah, that was.
That was on Friday, the last time I talked to Friday.
We were talking about the MVP with the johnath Taylor conversation. Yes,
we were talking off the air though, you and I
and it was, hey, man, if Lamar Jackson comes back
and they run off seven of eight, you know, eight
of ten, whatever, and they make the playoffs, they win
that division, is it possible that he could get the
(17:39):
MVP even though he missed already a quarter of the
season or did he miss too many games where there's
no way of doing it.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
He missed too many for me, but it would make
it interesting. But I think he would have missed too
He would have missed too many. And not to mention,
I think they would not They would love to give
Patrick Mahomes and if he just stays on the.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Church, I just don't if they would have on it back,
Like just say he wins nine out of ten or
and he plays and puts up numbers and they come
storming back from a two and five start, and he's
the reason why he will be No, I'm just saying, like,
that's that happened is because he's you know what I mean,
(18:17):
like that's compelling where you were looking, go, man, that
team was dead in the water. How did they do it?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That? And that?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And that would be to me why that would be
a compelling story for them. You know what.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
They would probably just give him Comeback Player of the
Year though, because the same you get that the same
year that's not come.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Back get it the year you came back.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
No, but that's like coming off an injury like the
year before, not during the season.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Came mid season season.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And but his numbers rob G real quick, do you
have them? What was numbers before he got hurt? Remember,
we got off to a great start to start the season.
It was the best start in NFL history, right, just listen.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Is the reason I picked the before the Chiefs game,
it was statistically the let's start by a quarterback in
NFL history since two thousand and seven. Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like he got off to
a great start, and then I.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Think he would have missed What would that be if
he plays Thursday? Was at four or five games? I
think four or five, So I do wonder if that
would be too many. But listen right, lamar Is can
go crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
He's he would have missed three and a half games.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yes, he's a video game player.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
All right, Robgi, I don't even want to talk about this.
I'm I'm against this whole segment. Hey, nobody got time
for that exactly. Why are we talking about this? Because
Robbie's got sources, multiple sauces. Have you got some what
honey mustard on the most of the situation.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
They told me this a week and a half ago,
and then it got confirmed earlier today by former ESPN
fighting inside of Mike Coppinger and what is that that
Floyd money Mayweather? Oh god? And Manny Paki out. Oh God,
are currently in talks for a rematch boy, a decade
(20:14):
after their snooze fest. This fight, if it gets agreed to,
and from what I've been told that it's trying to
fall apart at this.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Body wanted that one by a ten years too late. Five.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
This fight would take place in the spring of twenty
twenty six if they are able to come to terms.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Well, you like old people, I do like that, So
you'll be at the fight watching two old people in
their walkers and knees fighting each other. Floyd went from
being one of the greatest boxers of all time, a scientist,
great to watch if you love just technical boxing and
all that great and a master of the business of it.
So now he's just he's just he's just on side
(20:54):
quest right now, he's doing side quests and it's and
it's driving me crazy because again Rob g asked me
is he was like, no, no, no, I could You're
not gonna watch it?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I say, I promise you.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I have zero, like I'm looking put the camera on me,
zero interest in watching this. There's nothing enticing. Floyd hasn't
fought a real fight in twelve fifteen. It's been a
long time it's been Manny has been trying to be
a president of the Philippines and then he boxes every
now and again when he needs to. Neither one of
them are real fighters, and if it's not, and it
(21:25):
wouldn't even be a real fight, probably some exhibition that
I have zero interest in this.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But this is what I told you when the Tysons, remember,
I was like, dude, I'm out on this, Like there stop.
These are all just money grabs where people know people aboard.
There are no real fights out there. They want something
to do on a Friday night or whatever you set
it up or whatever. Well, let me just see I
might see something, you know what I mean. Let me yeah, yeah,
(21:52):
we never got to see them. Really les, let me
see this again, like just spending money, like because you
have nothing else to do, you want to bring your
friends over or whatever. Have above a Friday night party,
fight party. That's what people need. But that's what they're
banking on.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
But it's a Friday night choreography party. Like they're not even.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Fighting, like ready, and they're like they're gonna be doing
a TikTok dance. You swing, I swing, I swing when
you swing, I swing when you like they're not gonna
be fighting and nobody gonna neither one of them can
fight at this point.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
But that's the prob right, that's like this is gonna be.
They gonna be but you but you know, people will
buy it.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
What people Well, that's why these things keep happening on
Netflix and things like that, because it's the ability to
so sit home, turn on Netflix and it'll be the
first banner.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But but then the other thing too is people will
go to Vegas. There are the people who are still
trying to get there. I know they don't have the
crowds they used to have, but I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
By the way, one to Vegas this weekend, y'all got
me nervous, quick, little twenty four hour I'm in and out.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Okay, I'm just gonna like going to Vegas now in
twenty twenty five. I'm gonna give you a warning. Be careful.
It's like that, ye, because there's a chance a tumble
wee you could hit you while you're on the street.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I thought I was about to get robbed on the streets.
Is it like, wouldn't last time you've been in Vegas
a year and a half ago. It's been a Robb
G when I went out when not that long though, Yeah,
I know that's what I think I'll be more recently.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, I'm not saying there's nobody there, but it did
so I went to see when I went to see
One not long.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Ago, and and honestly, Rob it's gotten worse since you went,
because I talked to Lamar Mitchell every week get off
the air and they are as you guys know, they're
building the track for the F one again.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Oh yes, that's holding the state.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
It is horrible traffic closures. You can't even walk in
front of the Bellagio fountains anymore because they're building the
grand stands. So all the locals are like, yeah, this
is the worst thing we could have possible. And now
you know they also building the A stadium downtown where
what was that, Robbed the Tropic?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, where the Tropic Tropic Kennedy like right on the strip,
right across from MGM, right there. So I don't know
how much that also is altering any traffic.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
I think that's where I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Where you going right? MG is a concert? Yeah? Who
are you going to see about it? You're going to
see you know, what I'm saying some uh bubblegum band.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
As a polar, I was into that. It's the streets.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I was gonna say, we celebrating blackness on this show.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's a little too street like that, young g zy
mind your business. I would neither deny nor confirm.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Unbelievable Boys demand the residency at the Mirage.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh uh is a new addition there?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
No, I mean they used to be Boys to Man.
Could be new edition the Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Think new adition is the only thing is they renamed
the band to old Edition. I'm just saying. There, he's
gonna be front row.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
In there, front row, I gonna be serving, wrapping up
the guy doing the greedy get the frame black and
this that's my life.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Now, rice putting, rob ging on, be right there, and
they got some rice pudding.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But the best part about that, you know, going to
an old edition concert now, is that up front where
they make room for wheelchairs. So if you just pring
your own wheelchair, you don't have to worry about this.
You get right in.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Free admission, free admission, all right, So Tani still still
out there. Oh they're crazy. This is the third time around.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Be careful you so.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Far he's giving up ten runs according to you. You
do know that?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
What that man?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
You do know that he's giving up ten runs. And
by the way, I predicted five four. Let' see if
I'm right yesterday. I was right on Spectrum six to five.
I see I said five four Dodgers win. See if
I'm right again.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
So if you say it and nobody's watching, is that
the same thing as making up well, you know people watching. Oh,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
You know it's your boy, your boy? All right? Last
call all the way? Eight seven seven ninety nine, that's
call already. I know this this one. We say that
a lot. But this did fly by.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
You know, it's red with Rob Jeevens, like, man, this
shit flew by? All right, let's go eight seven seven
ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
He's worked on some other bad shows.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
See, you've been doing so good this last three four shows.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
He knows. I'm just saying. You wanted to say what
shows he was on?
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Told you Rob to be me.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
It was the first couple.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I would be all I would be I'd be all nice, like,

Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Tani basically had two great games last night, all right,
first play two games. He started out four for four,
two doubles, two homers, including the game time blast, and everything.
From that point on he was intentionally walked basically five times,
got come four one we're intentional, the fifth ones like,
we're not actually gonna intention but we're not actually gonna
(00:49):
do it. Over the play, everything's gonna be seven inches
off the place. He could have done that on all
of those.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Instead of giving him like his making him feel special,
I would have just pitched him making him feel special,
because now he's like, oh, they're afraid of me.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
They didn't win its specially they're afraid of me, and
they're not gonna pitch to me.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The rect of this series. I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The game Blue Jays manager John Snyder was asked about
the never ending walks for show Atani and he says, quote,
he had a great game, He's a great player. But
I think after that, talking about the seventh inning home run,
you just kind of take the bat out of his hands.
So the speculation from that point was, well, are they
just not gonna pitch to Otani the rest of the series?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Then?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And Bob Nightingale caught up with the manager today before
Game four and he said, are you guys actually gonna
intentionally walk Otani to lead off the game?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Then?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
If you're gonna take the bat of his hands, Schneider says, quote,
we haven't decided yet.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, so it's on the table. John Schneider, the manager
of the Toronto Blue Jays, is a coward. What a
capital C you hear me? Is this on? Come on now?
Oh Tani's all of a sudden that you can't pitch
to him? I get in certain situations. I'm with you, Kelvin.
He almost blew the game in the ninth inning. Would
(02:12):
he put him on with nobody out and if he
didn't slide off the bag, what would have happened?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Man?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
On second?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
They probably would have won the game right there, because
you were too coward to pitch the show. Hey o Tani.
And in reality, the longer it went, the more your
odds are that he wasn't gonna get another hit because
he was four for four. If you, if you're a
great player, you actually get three hits every ten times up,
that makes you a great player. So the odds swing
(02:40):
any other way after he goes four for four. There
are circumstances. I get it, Second and third and first
base open. I get that, create a force at every base.
They had to be a ground ball somewhere. You could
force out at any base, right, I get that. Putting
him on with nobody, with nobody on in the ninth
inning and talking about maybe we'll decide if we walk
(03:04):
him the lead off the game, Get off of it.
Nobody's that good If I'm a picture on it on
the Toronto Blue Jays. Whatever happened to competition? Is he
hitting with a tennis racket? What am I looking at?
Are you kidding me? I'm a major league pitcher. I
(03:24):
can get show Hail Tani out. Guess what he batted
this year two eighty Guess what he was batting? Before
last night two twenty five. Stop it this over glorification.
Oh my god, We've never seen anything like this. We
should just walk him. Oh Tony, why don't we give
(03:45):
you four RBIs and four home runs and you don't
have to do anything. Where's the competition that's involved. There's
no strategy here. This is being a coward with a
capital C. It almost makes you want to root against
the Blue James. If you're gonna play scared, attack that dude.
He has weaknesses in this playoff. He struck out sixteen
(04:08):
out of thirty four at bats at one point Kelvin.
So there's holes in his batting, in his batting stands,
and you can get him out.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I tip my cap.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
He had a great night.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
You're not gonna pitched to him. I'm not buying it.
So you absolutely are are right in that. To me,
there's a level of gamesmanship. There's two parts of this.
Rob One part is sometimes at the end of the day,
whatever the sport may be, we also like the game,
and so for instance, I use it at a hack
a shack.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Nobody's saying you can't hack a shack.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
At times it's strategic, right, Games closed six seven minutes.
Ga't laugh, you're down a handful of points. But the
idea of hey, Rob, soon as the game starts, we're hacking,
shack the entire game.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
You lose the spirit of the.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Game, right if you're taking the eagle said all right,
from beginning of the game, we're to just pushing.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Period.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
We figured we can get two three yards every time,
two three times four story with us twelve. And then
we get it like no, use it when you need it,
We get it. Fourth and one. You're on the end zone,
you're the goal line, we get it. And so the
intentional walk is created for that. So the idea that
you would go into it knowing we're gonna intentional walk
and what does that say to your team is also
what I'm interested in. Because your pitchers had done relatively well.
(05:22):
So Tani's been fantastic the last handful of games. We
know that, But what does that say to your team
when the messages, man, we're walking him period, Like no, hey,
let we our pitching staff can do well.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Your catcher can call a game.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Your outfield can say, hey, man, he ain't go hit
on the run, and I can catch some d balls
if it come out.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
My way, So I think that might send a bad message.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Also, when you look at this baseball been around one
hundred and fifty years whatever it is before last night,
only Albert Pools have been intentionally walked with the bases
empty in the World Series game, and that was back
against the Rangers. They did that in Game five of
the twenty eleven World Because it's crazy. So that's my
point is this never happens. It happened once with you know,
fourteen years ago with Albert Poojos. And then if you're
(06:03):
talking about the single season record of all time being walked,
it goes to Andre Dawson back in nineteen ninety. They
walked him five times. Loup Pannella walked him five times.
So if you're calling it four with Otani or really
was five, then he would match that if we keeping
it real. I just don't like it because what it
does to me, it takes the spirit of the game.
It takes while we love game, that takes the competition away.
(06:26):
And it would lead to me them having conversations in
the offseason, you know, and they have those meetings and
what do we need to do? Conversation about rule changes,
and they would start to have a rule change consideration.
I say they would, but that could happen because or less,
you're just saying the powers. The greatness of Otani is
the fact that they would consider a rule change like
they did with some Chamberlain type stuff or somebody. You
(06:49):
can't dunk, you can't touch the rim because you're too dominant.
But I just feel like that's taken away from the
spirit of the game to just simply say, if this
game goes five, six or seven, we're automatically walking him.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I wish they would walk him to start the game.
I'm dead serious.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
They very well made.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
They ain't no way.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
He has what five home runs? You know what a
first pitch should be. A pitch should be, should be
right up under his chin. That's where the first pitch.
This is nineteen ninety two to him, no more. That's
what you want to do.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You want to you want to neutralize old tany, make
him uncomfortable in a batter's box, don't make him feel
like he's arrived and nobody can get him out. It's
absolutely ridiculous. I'm not talking about head hunting.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I'm talking about get him comfortable, make him drop that
bat and fall to his stomach.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
All right, that's what you want to do. That's how
you shake that dude up.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
The problem is he's a robot, and he would literally
get back up, do his little put his bat on
the home plate to see how far his distance is,
and get right back to it. You know what The
craziest part of this is, too, is that if they
walk him, don't walk him, whatever, he himself still has
a chance to beat them today on the mound. If
he goes six or seven, he might get He might
shout to that that's true. But I'm saying the fact
(08:00):
that he has a chance to after what he did
yesterday and what he does get chilled today, and if
he goes seven innings and gives up one and his team,
you know, puts up three or four.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Man, he what six?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Last time?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I'm gonna say, he goes three innings and he gives
up six runs. How's that?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
That would be the easiest bet I'll take that. I
ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Was you shooking when I told y'all Clayton Kershaw robbed
you YouTube?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
It's not what you told.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, No, that's not what you said.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I remember, not robbed you Remember that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
He said that, he said to close out the World Series.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
They didn't know. They didn't knowed more. They didn't know
they need it more.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
That was that was the thought.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
It was over.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
No, they did not.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
They were like, come close this thing up they did
game wasn't please He's doing it on what's Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (08:48):

Speaker 1 (09:58):
So we talked about the rate, okay, and then win
that they had.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Hotley looked like he was like, who needs to starting quarterback?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Probably that, but but the idea that they won that game,
that was a really good precursor to Lamar coming back
on Thursday, Like, like, seriously, and this team, we know
this that there two Derek, can we fumbles away from
winning two more? You know what I mean? Like like
there were two games that he cost them. Would you
would agree, right for sure? One definitely okay, but there
(10:30):
was two games that they probably would have won had
he not fumbled in the situations that he did, and
it counts and I'm not trying to take him away.
And they lost the games and all that, and their
defense wasn't good to start the season giving him forty
points a week or whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
They have too much talent. They're getting healthier if they
get their can they make a run in this division. Absolutely,
And my pick rob g before the season started because
he always says, I'm do I pick the Packers every year? No?
But I picked the package this year. And that was
before the Michael Parser's trade, right, because it wasn't that
(11:08):
right before the season. I remember we I think I
picked the Packers. I think you did right, I did
before and then they got them. So and I picked
the Baltimore Ravens like you you picked the Ravens, but
I think you picked the who you picked the Lions?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Ravens Lions?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah? Like like, uh, he's talking about me. And every
pick is the Lions and the Tigers and the Piston.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You know, I picked the Mariners. Mariners Dodgers was my
World Series pick. See, I keep s it real, son,
I don't mind picking against them. And the problem with
the Lions is now they were there fifteen to two,
the twenty one carried one twenty one and four, meaning
they don't really lose.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
And since I've been.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
A part of this show, No, no, what are you
talking about? You don't count playoff losses. We'll talk about regularly. No,
I'm talking about the playoff laws. They don't you don't
count those No, I mean dicking.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I'm saying, gonna see what we count on we do
our I count the postseason even if you do, that's
a lot. Okay, So they're twenty one and five, rob
and I got to include a win so they'd be
twenty two.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Why whatever?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
All right? My point is that I'm serious. I still
I think the Ravens can make a run. And you know,
I don't flip flop. I'm sticking with my super Bowl pick,
but I don't think if they can get it going
and get in the playoffs, I think that they could
still make a run if they get everybody right, if
everybody's healthy, if guys play not they don't have to
(12:39):
play play to their resumes, you know what I mean,
play to their abilities, because they they weren't doing that
when the first when the season first, Am I crazy?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
You're you're you're a crazy light And the only reason
why I'm not going full blown crazy is because of
Lamar Jackson. And he's just that much of a day
French maker that if it came down to a game
or two they needed to win, He's just that good
that he can win a game or two to make
them win a division or at least, you know, find
(13:08):
some wild car spot getting there, and then from there
you let the chips fall where they may. And again,
he's just that good. So that's why I'm not gonna
say you're you're full on crazy. I will say, however,
I just don't like what I'm saying from them as
a total unit. Defensively, they've gotten better, but you know,
they're not where they should be where we all kind
of thought they would be. With the guys if you
look at the back names in the back of the jersey,
(13:30):
they're not where there should be.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Dereck Henry.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Surprisingly, you thought when Lamar Jackson would go out, they
would like say, kind of what San Francisco has been doing.
They said, all right, party's out, this guy's out, whole
receiving groups out. We're gonna rely on McCaffrey. He's been
getting the ball like crazy. That's not the case, Deck Henry.
He's got a couple of touchdownscause they were right there
at the red zone. But he's not going crazy. He's
not getting a buck, twenty buck, forty buck, fifty to
(13:52):
thirty carries. We're just gonna ride the horse. It's not
been that, so I don't know what they are right now.
I don't so I don't like the total team as
a whole. But again, the only reason why I'm giving
you crazy light is because Lamar Jackson in his prime
right now, is just that good that if he matches
up against the right team and needs to win this
game to win the division or wildcard spot, it will
(14:14):
be very hard for me to go against him, depending
as long as it's not like one or two teams,
because he's just that good and he's that unique that
it's hard to gain plan for him.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I just think like their roster and their talent is
to read you picked them for a reason, Yeah, I'm
just saying, and they haven't played up to their potential.
You got plenty of time to get there, is what
I'm saying. It's a long season. We saw them last year,
rob g. I want you to read out the schedule too,
what's coming up. But remember the last they were owing
to and most teams that start owing to don't make
(14:45):
the playoffs, and we were like, we're gonna make the playoffs,
right exactly, both of us. They won seven of the
next eight, And that's what I'm saying. With Lamar coming back.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
That's not crazy. I said, he's that good.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I mean, give us a schedule, Rob g and let's
see what like wil lines.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
While in order for them to make the super Bowl,
like you have them win the super Bowl, they got
to make the playoffs first. In order to make the playoffs,
they got to get out of this two and five
hole they dug themselves in. But this schedule shapes up
very very well if you were.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Believing the division alone is easy.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So Thursday against the Dolphins, Dolphins are not very good, Okay,
so there could be a w right there. Then they
get the mini by right because you played Thursday, got
ten days for the next game. They travel to Minnesota,
but JJ McCarthy so far has only played one good quarter. Okay.
Then it's in Cleveland, Dylan Gabriel, nothing to really get excited.
It's at home against Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You look at those right there, and let's so let's
say they lost one of them, just.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
So, then then they're at home to Joe Flacko win
them down. There might be plucky because the Bengals suddenly
got an offense. But it's at home.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
But it's still winnable.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Right then it's at home against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers,
so both the two tougher games are at home. Then
after that then they go to Cincinnati and they close
it with Bengals Patriots. It's Packers Steelers. So that Week
eighteen game with the Steelers division that will be crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
And that's also not crazy, I meaning that that's not
far fetched.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But that's why that's why I'm feeling, you know what
I mean, Like especially with Lamar coming not not winning
that game, because I thought they need to win that game,
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I thought that.
And then for Steelers that that loss hurt them as well.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
The Bengals lost, they were up fifteen or someone like
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Left to take come on.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
And to the Jets who couldn't score a big loss
for them because to Rob G's point, it's not they
expected to be a powerhouse. But with that offense and
Joe Flacco kind of mane, you like, if they can
just win enough because maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Nine games wins the Division ten division, But how the
defensive coordinator still employed? I'm serious, Like, to the Jets,
that's okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
To that, first of all, don't disrespect a guy like that.
I just can't get Justin Fields. Okay, that's right.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
What am I do? Lord?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Lord looked out?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Oh God, rob G real quick question.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I know we got it up against that. We got
a teas here, we got the callers. Me and Doub
were talking off the air yesterday about the MVP.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Were about me first?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yes, we were now yesterday, Oh yeah, yeah, that was.
That was on Friday, the last time I talked to Friday.
We were talking about the MVP with the johnath Taylor conversation. Yes,
we were talking off the air though, you and I
and it was, hey, man, if Lamar Jackson comes back
and they run off seven of eight, you know, eight
of ten, whatever, and they make the playoffs, they win
that division, is it possible that he could get the
(17:39):
MVP even though he missed already a quarter of the
season or did he miss too many games where there's
no way of doing it.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
He missed too many for me, but it would make
it interesting. But I think he would have missed too
He would have missed too many. And not to mention,
I think they would not They would love to give
Patrick Mahomes and if he just stays on the.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Church, I just don't if they would have on it back,
Like just say he wins nine out of ten or
and he plays and puts up numbers and they come
storming back from a two and five start, and he's
the reason why he will be No, I'm just saying, like,
that's that happened is because he's you know what I mean,
(18:17):
like that's compelling where you were looking, go, man, that
team was dead in the water. How did they do it?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That? And that?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And that would be to me why that would be
a compelling story for them. You know what.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
They would probably just give him Comeback Player of the
Year though, because the same you get that the same
year that's not come.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Back get it the year you came back.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
No, but that's like coming off an injury like the
year before, not during the season.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Came mid season season.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And but his numbers rob G real quick, do you
have them? What was numbers before he got hurt? Remember,
we got off to a great start to start the season.
It was the best start in NFL history, right, just listen.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Is the reason I picked the before the Chiefs game,
it was statistically the let's start by a quarterback in
NFL history since two thousand and seven. Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like he got off to
a great start, and then I.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Think he would have missed What would that be if
he plays Thursday? Was at four or five games? I
think four or five, So I do wonder if that
would be too many. But listen right, lamar Is can
go crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
He's he would have missed three and a half games.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yes, he's a video game player.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
All right, Robgi, I don't even want to talk about this.
I'm I'm against this whole segment. Hey, nobody got time
for that exactly. Why are we talking about this? Because
Robbie's got sources, multiple sauces. Have you got some what
honey mustard on the most of the situation.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
They told me this a week and a half ago,
and then it got confirmed earlier today by former ESPN
fighting inside of Mike Coppinger and what is that that
Floyd money Mayweather? Oh god? And Manny Paki out. Oh God,
are currently in talks for a rematch boy, a decade
(20:14):
after their snooze fest. This fight, if it gets agreed to,
and from what I've been told that it's trying to
fall apart at this.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Body wanted that one by a ten years too late. Five.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
This fight would take place in the spring of twenty
twenty six if they are able to come to terms.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Well, you like old people, I do like that, So
you'll be at the fight watching two old people in
their walkers and knees fighting each other. Floyd went from
being one of the greatest boxers of all time, a scientist,
great to watch if you love just technical boxing and
all that great and a master of the business of it.
So now he's just he's just he's just on side
(20:54):
quest right now, he's doing side quests and it's and
it's driving me crazy because again Rob g asked me
is he was like, no, no, no, I could You're
not gonna watch it?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I say, I promise you.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I have zero, like I'm looking put the camera on me,
zero interest in watching this. There's nothing enticing. Floyd hasn't
fought a real fight in twelve fifteen. It's been a
long time it's been Manny has been trying to be
a president of the Philippines and then he boxes every
now and again when he needs to. Neither one of
them are real fighters, and if it's not, and it
(21:25):
wouldn't even be a real fight, probably some exhibition that
I have zero interest in this.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But this is what I told you when the Tysons, remember,
I was like, dude, I'm out on this, Like there stop.
These are all just money grabs where people know people aboard.
There are no real fights out there. They want something
to do on a Friday night or whatever you set
it up or whatever. Well, let me just see I
might see something, you know what I mean. Let me yeah, yeah,
(21:52):
we never got to see them. Really les, let me
see this again, like just spending money, like because you
have nothing else to do, you want to bring your
friends over or whatever. Have above a Friday night party,
fight party. That's what people need. But that's what they're
banking on.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
But it's a Friday night choreography party. Like they're not even.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Fighting, like ready, and they're like they're gonna be doing
a TikTok dance. You swing, I swing, I swing when
you swing, I swing when you like they're not gonna
be fighting and nobody gonna neither one of them can
fight at this point.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
But that's the prob right, that's like this is gonna be.
They gonna be but you but you know, people will
buy it.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
What people Well, that's why these things keep happening on
Netflix and things like that, because it's the ability to
so sit home, turn on Netflix and it'll be the
first banner.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But but then the other thing too is people will
go to Vegas. There are the people who are still
trying to get there. I know they don't have the
crowds they used to have, but I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
By the way, one to Vegas this weekend, y'all got
me nervous, quick, little twenty four hour I'm in and out.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Okay, I'm just gonna like going to Vegas now in
twenty twenty five. I'm gonna give you a warning. Be careful.
It's like that, ye, because there's a chance a tumble
wee you could hit you while you're on the street.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I thought I was about to get robbed on the streets.
Is it like, wouldn't last time you've been in Vegas
a year and a half ago. It's been a Robb
G when I went out when not that long though, Yeah,
I know that's what I think I'll be more recently.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
No, I'm not saying there's nobody there, but it did
so I went to see when I went to see
One not long.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Ago, and and honestly, Rob it's gotten worse since you went,
because I talked to Lamar Mitchell every week get off
the air and they are as you guys know, they're
building the track for the F one again.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Oh yes, that's holding the state.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
It is horrible traffic closures. You can't even walk in
front of the Bellagio fountains anymore because they're building the
grand stands. So all the locals are like, yeah, this
is the worst thing we could have possible. And now
you know they also building the A stadium downtown where
what was that, Robbed the Tropic?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, where the Tropic Tropic Kennedy like right on the strip,
right across from MGM, right there. So I don't know
how much that also is altering any traffic.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
I think that's where I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Where you going right? MG is a concert? Yeah? Who
are you going to see about it? You're going to
see you know, what I'm saying some uh bubblegum band.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
As a polar, I was into that. It's the streets.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I was gonna say, we celebrating blackness on this show.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's a little too street like that, young g zy
mind your business. I would neither deny nor confirm.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Unbelievable Boys demand the residency at the Mirage.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh uh is a new addition there?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
No, I mean they used to be Boys to Man.
Could be new edition the Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Think new adition is the only thing is they renamed
the band to old Edition. I'm just saying. There, he's
gonna be front row.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
In there, front row, I gonna be serving, wrapping up
the guy doing the greedy get the frame black and
this that's my life.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Now, rice putting, rob ging on, be right there, and
they got some rice pudding.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But the best part about that, you know, going to
an old edition concert now, is that up front where
they make room for wheelchairs. So if you just pring
your own wheelchair, you don't have to worry about this.
You get right in.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Free admission, free admission, all right, So Tani still still
out there. Oh they're crazy. This is the third time around.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Be careful you so.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Far he's giving up ten runs according to you. You
do know that?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
What that man?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
You do know that he's giving up ten runs. And
by the way, I predicted five four. Let' see if
I'm right yesterday. I was right on Spectrum six to five.
I see I said five four Dodgers win. See if
I'm right again.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
So if you say it and nobody's watching, is that
the same thing as making up well, you know people watching. Oh,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
You know it's your boy, your boy? All right? Last
call all the way? Eight seven seven ninety nine, that's
call already. I know this this one. We say that
a lot. But this did fly by.
Speaker 4 (25:52):

shit flew by? All right, let's go eight seven seven
ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (25:56):

He knows. I'm just saying. You wanted to say what
shows he was on?
