Speaker 3 (01:36):
Rob g Let's update the football game.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
The Thursday night football game, Ravens in Miami taking on
the Dolphins.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, it is fourteen to three Baltimore. Despite I know
I look like it based on the stats. Lamar Jackson
looks a little slow, looks a little tentative. But it
doesn't matter because you want to get switched. He's defense
that is the Miami Dolphins. Five of seven seventy four yards,
two touchdowns. He has one carry for zero yards, and.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Mark Andrews was finally catching the two touchdowns his Miami again.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
They're down fourteen to three, moving the ball pretty well.
They can nine eleven, but they had a fourth down
call fourth and one false start, took back a conversion,
they missed the ensuing field goal. One of the Ravens
touchdowns set up by a fumble in their own end,
taking back inside the red zone.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
And then what was the other player right now?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Just before we went to uh top of the hour update,
Tua H's Jaylen Waddle down the sideline for out a
thirty five yard pass that would have put him inside
the ten yard It was nice right there, and it
was called back due to a phantom below the block
below the knee block.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, but he immediately went down. He didn't. It wasn't
a tackle. I mean, he just it was like a.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
And it was so bad that Alli Gordon guy committed
the penalty, got into it with his coaches.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
All throughout the sideline. We saw that on the bright wall.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
The coaches weren't with an agreement with him. I didn't
like it. So you know, it wiped out a big play.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Instead of having first and goal, they're backed up to midfield.
They gotta punt again. So comedy of airs from Miami
fourteen to three Baltimore Delvin.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Let me say this.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, you know I'm moving into a new apartment right
and I needed a new bed. Man Wayfair is easy.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you just order whatever. You go
through their website seriously, and I was looking. I wanted
to down downsides in my apartment. I want to downsize
my bed all this stuff. So I was like, I

(03:32):
need a new bed or whatever. Went there, but found it.
Ship it, you know what I mean for shipping everything.
So I just want to say, you know.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
This dosn't The wife could be sitting right here, and
she would be co signing with Wayfair has done a
lot in the Washington household over the last decades, right.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And yeah, it was great to have a relationship with them,
and I just just like came right on a perfect
time for me to go get a new bed and
moving day eleventh, which which is weird They make me
move in like the middle of the month. Yeah, Like,
I just don't even understand, Like they don't want.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's actually better to move in the middle of the month.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
No, but they don't want me to. I get like
rather than at the top of the top of the month.
But I don't think they want me to move at
the first. So I'm not paying that big rent, you
know what I mean. So they want the eleven days
for you to accumulate the money. No, I still gotta
pay even though I'm moving on the eleventh, I have
to pay the rated I.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Gotta pay so they can get them twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
They get the eleven days of the higher rent, and
then I move in on the eleventh. The first eleven
days of the month, I'm paying the old rate.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
All the higher you have, you know what I'm saying,
Your downsized yes, yes, yes, yes, you're down.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I'm saying days, just saying, Rob, let's just redo it.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Start a little bit of that. Oh yeah, give us
eleven days of that. That makes sense to them.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
It does, all right, rob Ge. We got some news LSU.
You know, they got to write a big check for
Brian Kelly. And the governor. The governor governor lloguvnor llguvnor.
He ain't like really feeling it. He's like with him
minute he got he said, bump anything else I got

(05:14):
to do? And we do have sound?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
The governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, he ain't having it.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
We are not going down a failed path. And I
wanted to tell you something. This is a pattern. The
guy that's hearing out at Roade that contract cost Texas
A and M seventy something million dollars. Right now we
got a fifty three million dollar liability. We are not
doing that again. I can tell you right now. Is
not selecting the next coach. Hell, I'll let Donald Trump
select it before I let him do it. Wow, I

(05:42):
don't know, but the Border Supers is going to come
up with a committee and they're gonna go find us
a coach.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
By the way, he also said Trump could do it.
He's a winner, and he he said.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
A lot unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
But my thing here is I understand where he's coming
from because he's talking about the ad who right fired
two coaches and and what is it seventy something million,
seventy six? Yeah for Jimbo Fisher seventy six and now
what fifty four? I think it is fifty three or
fifty three four year.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Dude, that's just correct.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
And he's like, remember it's LSU, Louisiana State University.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
So rob g stop me if I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
One of the boosters is gonna pay a sizable amount,
but the state of Louisiana has to pay the rest.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
He's a state employee. And that's what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
You got a problem with this with the governor stepping
it or how this is gonna go down, because no
matter what deal the new coach gets, there will be
a buyout. But I understand my language in the next
buyout is not gonna be fifty four mil. I don't
not gonna be fifty four mil.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
That's oh yeah, that's a whole lot of money. I
think the reason why I'm apprehensive is I don't mind
the rhetoric of it all, meaning that he's passionate, he
loves the State school. I don't know if he went
there or not. I had to look that up, but
you know, I guess the passion. You know, it is
on the hook. And I love the fervor and I
love that he's passionate about the school and what it

(07:17):
means to the state. The only thing I get when
you start getting a lot of politics into that, it
gets a little, it gets a little gets a little
out there, you know, and I can get a little
little little sketch, because then it can become it just
can be.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
We kind of didn't play the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Some other stuff he was saying about current administration, and
he was he went on that whole Well, the only
reason why I say that, there's a reason why I
say that. The only reason I say that is because
currently where we are, and you know this, we talk
about some of the stuff on the year off the air,
is that if you don't align with things or if
the if let's say your players come out and say something.

(07:51):
Let's say they come out on their Twitter and they
say something I don't agree with the administration about something
which happens. Kids say something they get on Twitter. Happens
all the time. Every NFL draft there's a kid who
has to justify something they tweeted or something like that.
So my only thing that's concerned is that that. Then
it gets kind of it can get political in that
sense of ties like, well, if I picked you, you're

(08:11):
my guide. If you're somebody said something about me or
anti me or what I'm what I'm about, then.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
You're my guy.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
But that's when they again leading the whole, when you
listen to the whole thing, he said, it goes a
little further than just simply like I'm passionate about the school.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's not about being passionate the school.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
The state is the money for If USC decides to
get rid of Lincoln Riley, they pay. They have to
pay the frame private school, all right, it's a private school.
If you see LA fire somebody, they gotta pay it.
That's a state that's state run. I don't like it,
Rod because you have other things to do. We got
people who need better education. I got food that needs
to be better. We got we got homeless. We can't

(08:49):
we can't, but we can't do that because we're giving
somebody fifty four million dollars to get lost out of
the state coffers.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
And I'm I'm with the governor.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
You know how much money you must be ring that
you can play fifty four money? Well, ls, you don't care,
but bringing it. You know how much money? Knowledge football?
Who's the highest paid official in most states college football
head coach.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm just saying, so money.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
But he's saying that the A D is the author
of two of the hugest payouts, and I'm not doing
it again. He didn't do what He didn't stop the
guy from getting hired, even though he did it with
Jumbo Fisher. Right, you see what I'm saying. Like he's saying,
the guy in charge, the a D is the author

(09:33):
of two of the biggest fire the AD. No, I'm not,
but you get what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Then you have to fire the AD because that is
a essentially the eight all you do.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
I have no problem with that, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
But he needs to say that AD needs to be
fired because all of AD.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
AD ain't gonna be doing this one.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
He ain't gonna be working either, because an AD job
at a big foot at a big program. If you're
an ad at Michigan, Ohio State, usc LSU, your job,
who'd you hire for basketball? Maybe if it's a big score,
but a hundred pers who'd you hire for football?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
How did you handle a scandal? Even at Michigan? What
they do? What they do to Jim Harber. They gave
him a pay cut.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Remember after they lost and and they had that bad
year and they lost, they the Jim Harball had to
eat a pay cut.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
He did well. He also had a pay cut because
it was one of them. You gotta take a pay
cut because we keep putting out fires with you. It's
all these little fires that key, you know, there was
always a little something something going on with him that
Michigan and then obviously led to the big things. So yeah,
you gotta I don't like like he can have an opinion, clearly,
but I would rather let the school take care of the school.

(10:35):
If the schools making mistakes, schools make mistakes, school's getting right,
schools getting right. But that's the school's business. I don't
need him jumping in and uh and wanted to control
that at all. You got a lot more of other
bigger fish to Froy.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
No, you don't.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
You not bigger than giving some football coach. You ran
out of town and you gotta write a check.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
So let me tell you how American you sound. We
care more about sports, you know, Rob. When I'm even looking,
I guarantee you Louisiana schools, public schools and are were
probably the worst in the country. Haven't even looked. I
guarantee you that some of the worst in the country.
You know what, they haven't still gotten out off outside
of downtown. And we were just in New Orleans. They're
still going through it from post Katrina right now. The

(11:16):
real residents not downtown in their nice areas, but it's
still is b Let the football take care of the football.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
No, we need come fix these level.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Because of the record of the A D who's done
it before.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
You got to get somebody in coach. But don't need
you making a decision. And that was his point.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Gosically was like, governor, you're not doing it again. The
governor letting you do again. Work us over like a
burger and fries and.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Take twenty exactly twenty four double burger.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
You left that part out.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
It was double but still no, you got more stuff
to do we got rugs, we got school, we got homeless.
We've not been into that, Nurga. It was the tail
on the back end. I'm just saying it was just
sitting there beef. There was a whole cow should have
been for twenty five dollars.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
No, I just when the state, when the state's involved,
at some point, somebody has to be fiscally responsible to
say I'm cool with far into the ad because you
can't keep just giving away money.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I always wonder about that.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
By the way, guys, last season, in twenty twenty four
to the twenty twenty five season, LSU football reported one
hundred and seven point nine million dollars in revenue and
after expenses, a fifty two and a half million dollars surplus.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
They're doing all right, Yeah, but I'm not giving that
to cover the buyout. Yeah, one year, stretch out their
sports that they have.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, but he what he's saying is the bigger picture
that this AD is the author of too massive.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
And so we know the first one wasn't totally his fault.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
No I know, but I'm but he was there and
they basically don't want Then you tell them this guy
he shouldn't pay it.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
He should be fired and let the whoever the new
eighty is do with your job. I don't have that
would be like that.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
That would be like the AD saying, you know, our
schools and roads and homeless is terrible. Here.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Hey, I'm voting in the next governor.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, but but here's my problem, governor, here's the problem.
We could say that on everything, you know what, no
matter what we live in California. Oh what about the homelessness?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
What about this? You can sit there right, You can
say that about any state.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Then let me do that, okay, And just like you
could say some eighties are choosing some terrible coaches. No,
you know how many coaches get fired every single year
they go buy out.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I don't have a problem with them firing them, but
I'm just saying I understand why the concern is. This
AD has been a part of two really big payouts,
and the state of ill of Louisiana has to foot part.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Of the bill.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
How many colleges did you go to? Thirteen? I went
to Queen's College. Your college Missouri con be a southern Connecticut,
all right, so that was twelve. You went to twelve colleges?
And education is something that matters to you. What's the
educational ranking right now?

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Love, rob G.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Louisiana their highest ever according to US News and Report,
thirty seventh. So they're moving up and that what they
are now. They were ranked at one point where forty nine,
then forty third, now forty nine out of fifty. Now
there thirty seven doing big things. Man, That's what I'm
talking about. Worry about that, Rob G. Where's Eastern Michigan

(14:30):
on the list? I'm just asking this. Put it into
the louisianata of the state, not the college. Look at you,
Southern Connecticut too, right where Southern Connecticut?

Speaker 3 (14:39):
You know where the list? They're number one? In my heart,
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
You can't tell me nothing. I bet they ain't going
to say nothing about them. Don't you try to take
shots of that easter me. I'm talking about the whole state.
You want to take shots at school? You getting some
freaks into the Sugar Bowl, get some tickets or something?

Hey, guys, what's up?

Speaker 11 (18:57):
If you're a head coach and you're looking for a job, make.

Speaker 10 (18:59):
Sure Scott Rudard is the ad. Okay, let me start off.

Speaker 11 (19:05):
But anyways, as you guys know, but usually the schools
protect themselves with the insurances in case they have to
buy out the coaches, so they don't take all the
hit too well.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
This is one according I'm going to say this and
we'll let you continue Orlando, right, rob g Like one
of the boosters is going to pay the majority of it,
but then the.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
State is on the hook. I don't know if reported
that a booster is going to cover about half of it, right,
so I.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Don't know that big money that they don't have the
insurance policy or whatever for the rest, So the state
has to has to come out of the state coffers.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
That's a big go ahead, Scott, I mean.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Orlando, go ahead, No, no, no, I see and listen.

Speaker 12 (19:42):
All I'm going to say is I think people just
I understand the guy, you know, the state bombs of school.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
You ain't lying about that. You ain't wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Right?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
You already you already know you ain't wrong when you're right.
I want to be right. If we're keeping score, I
want to be It's just simple. And if I'm wrong,
We're never gonna talk about it. You also ain't wrong
when you're right, Robger.

Speaker 10 (22:07):
All right, God just have lights? Did God just have
a lot of light?

Speaker 3 (22:10):
What light? We'll get into that. We'll get into that
here in this segment.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
All right, guys, I got three baseball topics because Jars
started the segment gainst the first crack at every single one.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
So let's get to it.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
The Washington Nationals got themselves a new manager at age
thirty three. Blake but Terra is now the youngest Major
League baseball manager in over fifty years. Now, despite his
relatively young age, he does have four years of minor
league managerial experience and another three years of front office
experience with the Rays. So JR foul or fair to

(22:43):
say all this hoopla about but Terra's age is just
a little overblown.

Speaker 10 (22:49):
Fair, it's a fair ball. I haven't heard a lot
of hoopla, but the facts are. Yeah, this guy's been
coaching at the pro level since his twenties. Right, He's
won championships and done front off his work to my knowledge,
so we know, any manager, he's only as good as
a team that he has. But the Nats have a
lot of young gen Z talent who probably could benefit

(23:13):
from a younger manager, and one more in tune with
how a new age you know players by because other
managers probably are a good thing from the veterans older managers.
But for a team like the Nationals with James Woods,
he j abrams, yeah, younger.

Speaker 8 (23:27):
Guy might just do the trick foul.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
What that is a fallball? He's too young. He's teaching
guys who are not that much older than he is.
What do you know.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm just I just feel like you're turning over a
lot of young guys who need real guidance, right some
uh uh, somebody to influenced them and get them to
the next level. And if this guy does, he's just
his resume. I get all that he started young or whatever.
There's a reason that's not been a manager that young
in fifty years. I just think that the Nationals shouldn't

(24:05):
be playing around with the guy hoping that he's gonna
turn out to be, you know, this great manager, when
in reality, if I'm one of those young players, I'm like, Oh,
they hired this guy so that they can dictate everything
they want from the front office. That's the kind of hire.
It feels like to me, it's fair. It's a fair
ball and here you are. You know who you get

(24:27):
me mad? You know why I'm mad at you? Rob
Tony Vittello, who is the new coach of the Giants.
You said, oh, he's coming out of college. He didn't
do the double, a triple, a single, a picking ay,
he didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
What this guy did.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
He earned his way up, He's won championships, he's been
doing it for years. Now he gets a shot.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
What what do you want?

Speaker 5 (24:45):
You can't coach see a sixty, You can't manage seeing
fifty five?

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Now, Thig, it's fair.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
They got to whoever, this is the guy, we'll know,
we'll see if he's good or not. But the fact is,
if you believe he's done enough, give him a job,
give him.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
A shot, a shot, all right, number two? List It
sounds like people don't pay for tickets down and Rob.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Don't like new media, don't like new managers, nothing like
all right, here we go, new prices on fool like that.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Nope, you don't like the new twenty dollars. Bill, I
just came out right, number two, that twenty it is
gonna be Harry Tebbing. I know you don't like that. Ron, No,
I'm shot like black quarterbacks. You don't like black leaders,
you don't.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Like I'm shocked at that. I'm shocked at that. Twenty
dollar bill is gonna be a circulation.

Speaker 13 (25:29):
You know they ain't having to You know that ain't
gonna be back. And that definitely all right here Level
number two, twenty number two j R. Gamble with the
couple Jr.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
In the last week and half, cal Rawley has been
named the Sporting News MLB Player of the Year and
the MLB PA Player of the Year, both of which
were voted on by his peers, and both of which
he won in a landslide. Now, I'm not saying that
you think he should win the al MVP, but given
what we know now, fair Fouler, fair to say that

(26:02):
the big dumper will wind up winning the al MVP.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Fair it's a fair ball.

Speaker 10 (26:10):
But I said it's a few weeks ago that the
story of the MVP it is Kyle Riley. Like, that's
how the media set it up, That's how the fans
wanted to set it up. Judge fatigue is a real
thing throughout the league, and Yankee's hate is always prevalent
among the baseball riders and voters. Rob you know this,
Is it fair to Judge, who still might win the MVP. No,

(26:32):
but hitting sixty balls is no joke. In the fact
that Riley's a catcher, She's to mean a lot right
to baseball media and the fans. So it's a great
chance he will win it. And you can't cry about
it because we saw this coming despite Judge's numbers being
better overall. In my opinion, foul that is a foul ball.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
And the baseball people who I respect, the writers and
people who are all say is clearly Judge. And if
you're gonna do that with the war and the slug
in percentage and all those ops, and if you're gonna
say that none of those matter, okay, because that's what
you would.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Be doing that. The only thing that matters is the
amount of home runs you hit.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Then you're gonna set all of this backwards because all
of the numbers support Judge, like through the roof.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
It's not even close.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
And when I hear people like Tom Verducci and real
baseball people have been around for thirty five forty years
all say, I don't even know what the debate is.
The numbers are so outrageously in favor of Judge. If
they vote Kyle Rowley, I'll be stunned that the writers
have abandoned analytics.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
Fair. It's fair to me because again, baseball loves its numbers,
and you can't. To me, this is the key thing.
Everything you said, Rob, I get totally. Aaron Judges was
finanmal duh. But I think when you break a record
for catcher switch hitter and a franchise record for the Mariners,
and break the American League record for home and then
also you got into the you're right, and then you

(28:02):
get into the post. The other ones all catcher but
switch the catcher been a saying they've been playing. You
know what, I'm saince baseball started.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
There's been a catcher right before before cal Rawally, did
you know who the catcher ones who had the record
for most home because you know anything, like nobody knew
that Mike Piazza.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
My guess, go ahead, So yes, it's fair to me.
It's absolutely fair. All right, last one, Fouler, did you
know that the most home runs by switch? No switcher?

Speaker 4 (28:35):
No idea, Okay, no nobody did, but all of a sudden,
that's why Aaron Judge, oh, for the American League the
record because we can't say the real record because he
didn't really break that one.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
It's okay, it's a qualifiers a fire qualified when from
you don't want to qualify when he qualify?

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Last one? Talking World Series here Jr. Gamble with the
couple all j R.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
The Dodgers lineup has been laughably bad so far in
the World Series in two to one to be exactly,
show hel Tani, Rod's favorite player Beten three to nineteen
at the top of the lineup. As a result, MLB
Networks Brian Kenny, friend of the show, Unlester Kelvin high
a solution, he said, drop Otani down the third or fourth,

(29:15):
let him drive in some runs and all will be well.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Jr.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Go Fowler fair to simply moving say that moving Otani
down to cleanup would fix the Dodgers offense.

Speaker 10 (29:28):
Foul.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
That is a foul ball.

Speaker 10 (29:31):
Listen, now, you have to hope the Dodgers offense faces
itself in my opinion, right, you have to believe that
baseball is what it is the game of streaks. And
the Dodgers backs went cold after that eighteen n and win,
and they had to pay the baseball guards back for
that win. In blood, and that blood is horrendous hitting

(29:53):
and unreliable pitching, even showing Mookie I've been human. But
guess what after all that, only down three to two
and still have a champions.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Be only down three to two, what does that mean?

Speaker 10 (30:05):
It's not a it's not a punching chance. They're very
much in this series and the point is two in
a row. There's no magic lineup that Dave rogers Burts
can put out there. He has to depend on the
three future Hall of Famers and the defending champs to
find some hard find their strokes. They spoilt a game
to game. They ain't stranger things have happened in Mookie
best and Otani getting hot at the right time. I

(30:27):
know what Rob's saying about momentum, but come on, if
you're the defendant champs, if you have this big pay
roll and you have these and Otani this so Tani
that let me see o Tani step up in game six.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
I just say it is fair.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
The idea of moving him down, and the idea that
you gotta get start driving and runs. Mookie the other
night and that eighteen inning game came up, he couldn't
knock anybody in he doesn't have any RBIs here we
all going again going to game six? Well he might
not how about his on he might not get any
this time. I mean he could be overdue.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
For me, it is foul. I actually get what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
The only reason I say that is I want to
give show hey as many a crack said that bad
as possible. Him being leading off gives him and maybe
an extra at bat, So I'll leave that there. And also,
if he were to be starting off two for two,
maybe it was a home run. Maybe they start walking
him and then dagd I got a chance for finally,
maybe if Mookie can ring driving a run or something.
So to me, him being there just gives us the

(31:26):
optimal chance to at least get things started, gives us.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Are you on the dog I'm saying if I'm the Dodger?
Oh wow, Yeah, the press is.

Speaker 10 (31:33):
All on Toronto fellas, by the way, I'm telling.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
You, of course they are.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
They they went and saw this team go to La
They should have won all three games because they have
too many chances to win game three point Yeah no,
But my point is they came to La jr. And
they went and Toronto won two out of the three.
They were never gonna win all three. Like the idea
that the series wasn't going back to Toronto.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
You would have been shocked in my right the parade
right now. Yeah, but I'm just saying the idea that
they were gonna win all three. We're going to seven.
We'll see after that. Yes we are. Yamamoto all right,
thank you, Jay, I appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Momonos can be get lit up on Friday.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yamamoto to you two all right on the way Last
call a seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Last Call, I want to get in and hit us
out a couple Fox Sports Radio.

Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

pretty good for a little bit Fox Sports Radio. I

And for over forty years, Ti Rack has been helping

drive shit fast and free back by Free Road has

(32:54):
a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot Com.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
It is the way tire buying should be. Let's get
your last call, good last call. Who we got Dick
in Dayton. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio

(33:22):
and you are the last call. Gotta get stuff faster.

Speaker 11 (33:26):
Sorry, Hey, guys, I just wonder. I know you've known
me from a while, but you have a thing to
say about Cleveland Sports. I've followed with them for years,
but this Browns team is really not what we want.
It's not it's not the people in Ohio watch it.
They need to get Stefanski, they need to get Barry.

(33:48):
We need a new leader like say Bill Belichick or
Bernie to come in there to get these people going.
And as far as the Bengals, I think that they
need they need a good defense. What do you guys
think about this?

Speaker 10 (34:02):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (34:02):
Uh, both, yes, on both yeah, yes, so I don't
well know on Bill Belichick, but no, but I mean
a new a new coach, you know, a new leadership.
He's a good coach, is just I mean, listen, when
you don't have a quarterback at all, Like they don't
know what they're doing right now, trying to figure that out.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
This is what's gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
Man and Myles Garrett mad get five sacks. It's just
sitting there by himself on the bench he designed. He
said that he didn't want to win a super Bow.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, that's true. No, you got to listen.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
He got the money right when you said he said
he couldn't win a super Bowl there, but he signed
the contract there.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
Okay, then you have to got to sit on next
to that bench and get them five sacks exactly.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
She got an odd Mob. Rob g got a couple
of chats here coming in last hours.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
So a few of my favorites. Two of them by
the official mayor of the Odd Mob. None of than
of course he's ripping on Mega.

Speaker 10 (34:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
One of them says Rob should count USC as his
thirteenth school, and with the co ed he visited and
visits the work, he should also count Magic City.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Good point. So that was good.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
This one I didn't like, but I already told her,
Damn Monty running to the mic was the best part
of the show.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
What I'm not gonna lie. I knew that was gonna happen.
They saw angle and Sager left your camera on the
whole time. Saga Saga's fall. Yeah, Saga, I'm not sure
she didn't do that on purpose. Ro you were a lout.
I was screaming her name.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
And the last one, the Duke of Doudah says, I
must say. Calvin has been looking worried all show. He
must be thinking about how he's gonna pay all the
wise guys.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Nah, you know it's funny. He might saw me trying
to get that post off. Yeah, I'm trying to get
this post for a little bit. But you know what
he's really worried about. And all Dodger fans. I'm gonna
have a stress.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Reliever for you guys who said I was a Dodger fan.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Okay, because you are for tomorrow, because everybody's worried about
Yamamoto tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Right, So no, the Blue Jays fans is what you
should be just repeating tomorrow to try to get you through.

up idiot. That was funny, though, Doumbo, double Boy? What
maybe I said something? What did I say that made
you think of it when you're walking out?
