Washington.

That's right. What's happening to.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
My man's on Thursday? With her brother feeling good?
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Uh, you know, enjoying the fact that look, today was
the last day for us who live out here in LA.
We got some big time storm coming about to act.
When the when the storm's coming, we don't know, not act.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The only reason we got this coming is because Rob
g had planned his big birthday party for his daughter
outside and gave us the whammie you know what I.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Mean, all the times he had like every weekend for
the last six months to pick and then they picked
this one, so yeah, I feel bad for my guy
Rob G and the fan, but you know they they
figured out the alternative, so they're gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yes, but you know how that is. I always remember
the graduation from Columbia. Uh had the big graduation outside
in the courtyard you know there and uptown Manhattan and
the whole nine yards rained like cats and dogs.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Oh terrible, And I didn't feel bad.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm from New York, but I thought all these parents
are flewing from you know, Colombia is an international school.
People flew from all over the world to see their
kid graduate and couldn't take in the the the you know,
the York Yeah, you know what I mean outdoors and
then you have to do the little private one.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
But all right, that's yeah, that's that's the part about
what living here. When people get excited and so one
weekend is raining or cold in LA, You're like, I
swear it's beautiful every other weekend, They're like, no.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Doubt, all right, Hey, aches and pains can sneak in
during the holiday hustle and bustle. A leave can help
you forget that pain, make happy memories instead.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
With just one pill us right.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
A lead provides up to twelve hours of body pain
relief so that you can keep moving used as directed.
All right, Hey, hey, Kelvin, we're just we already know
sho hal Tani was named National League MVP, and I
guess are they still milking it?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
They're milking it nothing yet, not for what I've seen.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I'm just Otani is talking right now.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
They're talking to col Schwarber Otani and Juan Soto, and
they're showing clips of them talking to them.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So they haven't announced anything. Wop. The show is that long?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Apparently listen, man, they gotta listen. Their season is over roped.
They got it.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
They're trying to NFL this thing. How can we prolong
our season and continue to make it a thing?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I mean, but I get the suspense of it because
unlike show, Hey, you knew he was gonna win, do
you know what I mean? Like, so that's anti climatic.
There's nothing to build up there. I don't think anybody
thought that Otani was not gonna win. He wasn't unanimous, correct,
Monty Bilangos, Right, Uh, show, Hey, he wasn't a unanimous
(04:45):
last year?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
No, this year? Right? They haven't said anything.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
They haven't announced it.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
No, he's been he hasn't been announced. He has not
been announced. Rob, it is long.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
We about have to be on here to listen.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
We might have, so why would they So they just
interviewing the three of them.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Correct, and right now they're talking a college shorter. I
thought he was okay, I thought he was already announced.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
No, they have not announced it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So all right, we got our time screwed up then because.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
That, Yeah, we're gonna just switch our whole thing because
that because they're gonna milk this thing like somebody.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Here's where I want to a pivot to this.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Just if Aaron Judge were to win, he would win
three out of four years, right, Okay, here's why I
think you can't have a one off, because you want
to spread the net. Let somebody else win. Aaron Judge
(05:38):
got more chances. Cal Raley probably will never be in
this position again. Like right, Kelvin, you don't expect him
at sixty home runs next year or any other.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Year in his career and all that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But if Aaron Judge wins and it's three out of four,
there are only two other players who won three.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Out of four.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Hello, Barry Bonds and hey, o Tani, you know what
I mean? Like that is the part of the baseball
history that you I don't think you want Aaron Judge
not to be a part of because you're giving the
MVP because you think it's somebody else should get a chance,
or it's not fair because big bad New York wins everything,
(06:21):
even though the Yankees haven't won a World Series since
Moby Dick was a guppy.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You know what I mean. But that's the way it is.
It always plays like, oh, well, you know what, why
can't Seattle win for a change.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Why is it always gotta be the Yankees or the
Dodgers or whatever, those are the best players.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You have any problem with that?
Speaker 7 (06:40):
I mean, I think you're under selling what Kyle Riley
was able to do. I mean, Kyle Riley, I mean
you're talking about again, and you know this, You've been
covered the sport for almost forty years. Baseball loves its numbers.
Baseball loves it's you know, historic. Rather it be numbers
records to hold nine and specifically for a position like
(07:00):
a catcher, for him to have the all time home
runs for a catcher, for him to do it, for
a switch hitter for him to break a franchise record,
I think you're under selling because and this is the
challenge with Lamar Jackson, this is the challenge with Lebron James,
and now this is the challenge with Aaron Judge.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
When you're this great, it's like, well, how do you
top that? And show?
Speaker 9 (07:21):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Otani probably hints forth if he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
But Otani to keep giving it to him.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I just said, if he wasn't pitching, you.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Even pitch that great? Like he wasn't, like he would rob.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
He pitched, Just start and say he pitched, all right,
what's it?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But he also didn't have the offensive year that he
had the year before, and when he did the fifty
to fifty, he also betted two eighty, not over three hundred.
My point is that for some reason somebody didn't go well.
Kyle Schwarber hit more home runs than or close to
show hey, and look at what he did with the
Philly they had the number one overall record in the
National League. To make a sympathy case, no, And my
(07:58):
only point is it shouldn't be based with that. Barry
Bonds won seven because he deserved to win seven, not
because you want to give it to somebody else because.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
I don't I don't disagree with that statement, but I
think you're you're why is it that they're just giving
it to him?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I think again, what he did.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
And for franchise that was able to get into the postseason.
We you and I were on the air when he
ended it that season was home run a couple of
home runs in that game. And almost cemented it right
because it's so nip and tuck. So I just think
that it's.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Not as it's not as a number night on the date. Well,
that's that's the only thing.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
But it is for the value, like meaning what his
position is versus Aaron Judge right, they're completely different. Position
is an outfielder. He's a catcher. So that's where it
is nip and tuck for that position. You're not expecting
a catcher to hit. Will Smith is one of the
best catchers in all of baseball. He has clutch bowmens.
He hits thirty home run just a night. Wow, sixty
is Craig? Can I give you this? And I was
(08:58):
on MLB Network, So I'm cheating.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I didn't do the research they did, Okay, I'm cheating.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
No, No, I'm just being honest.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
They did the ops right, and the thing that was crazy,
and Judges has like a two hundred point lead, okay
over cal Rowley. And here's the thing that was crazy,
the between Judge and Riley Raleigh.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
If they took that same number and did two hundred
points separate to the next guy from cal Rawley, right,
two hundred, it would go from Kyle Raley being fourth
to the next player two hundred down would be number
forty four, Like, that's how many spaces It would be
(09:45):
forty spaces even though cal Raley was fourth compared to
Aaron Judges. First, do you see I'm trying to give
you the point that that's how big of a gap
it is when you talk about a difference between two
hundred and ops, uh every category judgments ten games and
Roley has seven more home runs, not twenty seven, not
(10:08):
fifteen more, he has seven more. And they're trying to
sell us on the idea of, oh, well he catches
to the way he frames the ball. I've heard all
kinds of stuff about he only had one pass ball.
Be honest, Kelvin, what have you ever heard anybody discuss
how many pass balls catch?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
A hat. No, I'm just just you do.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
It very, very very when you read write the.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Script and you're doing Dodgers pre and post. How many
times did you talk about how many passballs somebody had.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
About exact the games? And I might have said it
point zero zero.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
One time, but that's what they're the point Rob that way,
how many passball he only had one?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Pasall? We do?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You know we do? And I told you this, who's
better Kobe or Lebron?
Speaker 7 (11:04):
We gotta start nitpicking, right, well, who's better Tom Brady, Peyton, Maan,
we gotta start nitpicking.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Well Aaron Drums and the fifth ending of the World Series. John.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
I don't know if I can troublenge like this is.
I'm just saying, this is what we do. We start nitpicking,
or are the opposite, We start finding more little random
stats that.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Fit our narrative for our guy in an instance.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
So in this instance where folks it is cal Riley
and I think that again, but I do think you're
under selling. Sixty is huge, like not like wow, you
had a great see judge in fifty three he's a catcher.
That's the difference, Judge. Again, this is the challenge, This
is what you and I both agree Michael Jordan should
(11:49):
have more than what is it five MVPs.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
That's kind of crazy when you frame how great he was.
But this is the challenge, when how does Michael Jordan
top Michael Jordan? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And show, Hey, that's the that's the only pushback. But
and I think that that because some people could have said, well,
he only he didn't pitch that much this year.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Okay, he didn't pitch at all. Last year.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
He went from fifty stolen bases to seventeen. I don't
know what the number was, but he didn't still bass. Okay, uh,
he didn't have the fifty to fifty anymore. He went
from batting three ten to two eighty or two seventy eight,
so he dropped up thirty points. He went from having
one hundred and thirty RBIs to maybe I don't I
don't have the numbers in front of me, to one
hundred and one.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Do you know what I mean? Like he's off.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Thirty RBIs on and I'm looking okay, so I'm not bad, right,
I said one oh one?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Right, and he had one hundred thirty last year?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
How many stolen bases seventeen eighteen, he didn't have the
fifty Oh this is hold on, if you haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
He had, where are we at twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, I'm in keep going, keep going in the r Okay,
but you know, I'm just saying, like the numbers weren't
what he had last year.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
And I think, and what did he bat to? Seventy eighty?
What he started?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So I said seventeen, I was to eighty two?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, to eighty two batting average?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
What about last year? Three ten?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Last year was I'm pulling it up now, uh three ten?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, these are the numbers I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Like, so there were drops in his numbers where people
can make the argument that he didn't have the same
kind of year he had the year before, But that's
not going to stop him from winning.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
And that's what I said. But here's the magic thing
for talking about show. Hey, he started fourteen games, he
didn't just come in a reliever role.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
What was his record? What was his ELRA?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
What they are I'm about to tell you e al right,
what do you think it was?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Three point two?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Two point eight seven? Okay almost so, yeah, you got
a two point eight seven?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well, his record a four and six.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Five hundred. He's only actually ended up being one in one.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Okay, I can remember at the beginning he didn't pitch enough.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Yeah, it was a couple of he was worked his
way up to about four. That was it for a while,
then five and six. So one in one. But I mean,
you're you're talking about again. Fourteen games started, forty seven
innings pitched, uh and sixty two strikeouts. I mean that
that's why. That's what separated. If it was just strictly
off the bats, I would give you that. I'll give
you it'd be much closer, right sore. Okay, ooh, this
(14:18):
is close. It is close. But when a man can
start fourteen games, that's crazy, Rob, That's just that's just
not normal.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
All right, let me fifty five home run.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Here's the other thing too, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Still waiting on
the results. We know show he's gonna win. We do
not know what's going about.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
They're about to be like and we're here now with
Indian fifth grade teacher. This is his fifth grade teacher.
How was he like in fifth grade?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
You know, peopre gonna scream bloody murder if you don't win.
I'm serious.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Aaron Judge is six seven. When when did he grow?
We're here now with his teacher who saw his gross
spurred Yeah, we're here.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I remember fifth grade four or five four.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Then he's sixty one.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
He can't back, and all of a sudden he's wearing
high waters.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, we're about to milk this thing for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, eight seven seven ninety nine On Fox, We
want to hear from you, just as we wait on
the votes to come in. Which one would shock you more?
That Judge wins or that cal Riley wins.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
You know what I mean? Like which one?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Because I'm telling you right now, I will be shocked
if Aaron Judge doesn't win.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I will be shocked.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
This for me is exactly when you and I sitting
here doing this for weeks and months last year about
the NFL quarterback.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You know how I feel about Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
But I just can always sense when this is about
to be a whatever in that case with Josh Allen.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
This is Cayle Riley, It's cal Riley, all.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
And I was right.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
I told you, Rob Sterling Junior, come on back, Rob Parker,
Rob Parker.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I A And if nothing else I know about baseball,
If nothing else on this planet, I've been covering baseball, Manzi.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Next year will be my fortieth year, not like periphial.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Wow freaking years of covering Major League baseball.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Oh god, and Monti, Oh god, that's right.
Speaker 10 (18:20):
And Manzi, congratulations to you as the details Masi, and.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
To Aaron Judge.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Yeah, Aaron Judge just announced not long ago that he
has won his second consecutive AL MVP. He received seventeen
of the thirty first place votes. Wow, this is a
third MVP, thirteenth player to win three MVPs. Cal Rawley
obviously split the other first place votes, SoSE Ramirez did
not get any first or second place votes. He got
(18:49):
only third place voste, So seventeen out of.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Thirty, seventeen out of thirty. And Manzi, you stay on
this with the Dodgers and baseball. You know that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And all I'm gonna say here, Kelvin is there was
a tug of war to me between if if you
don't vote Judge, all of those numbers you talk about
ops and war and all of those become null.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
And boy, what what do we do?
Speaker 6 (19:22):
You?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
See my point?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Like, I get what Kyle Raley did, and he had
a great year and he's a catcher. His sixty on
runs to me, if Kyle Rolly beat Aaron Judges home
run record for AL, he would have wont to award.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
See but that's okay you say that, and I hear you,
But then that means just one home runner.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I guess in this cable there had been two to
beat to beat him.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I'm just saying that would have given him but at
least but.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
That doesn't that take away from what you're just saying.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
No, because he has something that no one's ever done.
When you talk about for a catcher that's not having
the all time record for home runs in the league,
that that's pretty significant. I know it sounds for two
for two home runs, but Kelvin, it's not just the
two Aaron Judges numbers were so ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, I don't disagree that was a show when we
set up here.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
You know, well, shoot the little bit of last season
when I was started the show, and now all this
season you and I both have talked about to me,
and I know you because you echo it. What makes
him special him being judged is the fact that he's
not just a power hitter where you are, for instance,
Kyle Roddy, he batt in two forty two, but man,
he's got sixty home runs.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You're talking about a.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Guy six foot seven hitting fifty something home runs sixty
some home runs depending.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
On the year, you know what I mean. It's been remarkable.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
And then batting three point thirty one.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
It's remarkable what he's able to do. And they were
at the end of the.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Ceremony they kind of were just kind of going over
the big facts like Aaron Judge three times winner, only
people to do this and Yankee named a couple of Yankees.
Then they go to show Hey, four time only person
doing more with Barry Box. We are in the middle
of something extraordinarily.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
To the players who ever played in Major League Baseball,
like we're not.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Normal and what we're seeing from Show Hey and Aaron Judge,
I mean, it is just remarkable what they're doing and
a sport that's been around so long, in a sport
that treasures his status, and the sport that travels its numbers.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Uh, And it's been incredible.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
And Aaron Judge, who was also his credit, he's doing
it at a little.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Bit of a later age.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
He's not old now, but he didn't come up young.
He didn't come Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
He's doing this in both and Otani as well doing
this and they're both of their doing it at some
spectacular rate and numbers in their age too.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
So kudos to him. I thought they would go cal
Raley just for.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Again for what he did he's not the only ones.
I mean, you know, and it wasn't a runaway, you
know what I mean. It was thirteen, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
So he Judge got seventeen of the thirty first place
votes and the other thirteen went to Calralin.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Right away from being a tie.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, it was close, Montie, who did you have
going in? Did you? It's a good thing. I don't vote.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Probably would have voted for cal Rawly, but for sentimental reasons,
not for the reasons that you probably should vote. It's
nice to see that, Aaron Judge one because you hate
voter fatigue. We literally saw that with Nicola Jokic and
were not long ago, and.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
We saw that the right, right, and so you see this.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
So it's nice that it wasn't voter fatigue, you know,
like Judge absolutely deserved it. It's just man, Cal you
just went up against well, I'm and I.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Think that was a great point at the end there, Montie.
I do think again, that's.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Why any other year he's the MVP, working with.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Doubt, and I think and I think this reverse it
any other if it was seventeen cal Riley thirteen, any
other this is another MVP for Aaron Judge and I
think again both of them did such astronomical things. When
you're looking at a guy obliterating the Catcher Homer record,
obliterating a French you know, beating a franchise record, Saint
franchise that at one time King Griffy Junior announced where
(22:58):
we guess you know you're.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
The guy and now with his number.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
So it was that close, and this is what happens
when you're dealing with greatness. Show hate to me was
a little more of an easy walkaway, which is why
it was unanimous. But between those two it was it
could have gone either way. And we can be sitting
here going, man, what Aaron Judge who did was crazy?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
How could he have lost that? You know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Like, how could he have lost that? Because his numbers
are crazy? What he's doing, it's not normal. They brought
it up at the end with him, They said, not
only the MVPs with the batting title, and they said,
now you're officially the biggest human ever, have you know?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
And the other number that I saw And this is
the last thing and we'll get because I want to
talk about John Gruden and this conversation about Thursday night
football is about to kick off.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
We'll do that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The last thing, Aaron Judge, who had fifty three home
runs now has the most home runs for anybody who
won a batting title. Like nobody in the history of
baseball ever hit that many home runs and also won
a batting title. Those are the numbers are incredible.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
So yeah, I definitely can't there's no there's no hating,
and yeah there is. This was you know, I'm not
an Aaron, you know, it's just I yeah, I thought
this vote would be one of those where they're just like,
oh man and from a franchise. And this goes to
Manzi's point when you're and you have a Hall of
Fame vote, So I have seen this an MVP, but
(24:17):
just when voting, it's not everybody thinks like it's you
know what a gret example boxing match. Some people will
watch the same fight. And I'm not talking about some
judges where we're a little concerned, like with something paid off.
I'm talking about some people just like the active guy, right, man, Hey,
look he was just active.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
He was fighting the whole time he was in it.
Some people like the more accurate guy. Man, look at this.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Guy, he might not have threw, but he was working.
And so sometimes it's just that closely that it does
come down to what is your flavor of, you know,
of whatever the thing is. Is it more the storyline?
Is it more that I didn't see this coming? Is
it more of the show Hay or the Aaron Judge
where many dudes are doing a year in year year
in year, year in year out of performing and performing.
(24:59):
So to me, you know, that's what makes a challenging
when you're getting this close. What ends up being a
flavor for that particular voter? And I again you being
good for Hall of Fame voter. Some guys, man, you
I like your stance. Hey, if you don't get in
the first time, why am I changing it?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I don't know? And that's never changed right, right?
Speaker 7 (25:16):
And some people say, man, the more I think about it,
somebody brought up a great point.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I didn't think. I read an article. And some people
are like, you, like, what change your career ended? You
didn't play it.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You haven't played in twenty years? What has changed? Right?
All right?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, we will throw
out the number because John Gruden had an interesting thing
comment coming. I don't know if this is going to
help him get back as an NFL coach, saying that
they should scrap Thursday night football, which.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Is a moneymaker for the league.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
But let's hear John Gruden on Thursday Night football, which
is about to kickoff in New England.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
Let's start with Thursday night football.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Man, what a treat.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
It is no preparation, no times to recover, no chance
get rid of these Thursday night games.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Jump them. It's not fair to the players.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
It's not fair to the coaches who goes out and
tries to perform at a high level with no preparation.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Dump these games.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Where are you, Kelvin Man, I've been one of these
to be dumped for up until maybe the last couple
of years. Most of the games will blowouts or most
of them were just remember we were getting bad teams.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
It was Jags versus whoever.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
It was Jags and Panthers and Jags who in the
next team.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
And they were bad games, and they weren't great.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
And you talk about you start to read into with
some of the players have acknowledge and that, and even
John Gruden, he went a little further talking about why
he doesn't like it. You're just getting a bad product.
Football is brutal. It is a brutal sport. And if
I just played on Sunday night or Sunday, you know,
and I had.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
A bad, brutal game, beaten batter. Now I gotta travel
across the country. We lose some couple of days.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
The rest we're trying to scramble and readjust our normal
program regiment.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Now, with scrambling trying to you're gonna get a bad product.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
If it's another team that didn't have to play honey,
or maybe they just were, you know, more locked in,
you're not getting the high quality football and.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
The best version of it. You got to think about it.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
They're playing on a Thursday when normally they were playing
another three days later on three and maybe four.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
If it was a Monday night game.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
So you're not getting the best product, and it's just
and oftentimes we leave dissatisfied watching it. So I'm just
not a fan. I like when we get towards a
little bit later in the season. We started to get
those Saturday games right.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Once the college football season.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Yeah, I like some of those, Like, Okay, you know,
I got some big time games on a weekend I'm
locked in. Maybe you and the homies go watch it
somewhere Thursday Night. I just don't feel like it.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Now. I'm saying all this. When I looked up the numbers, the.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Argument would be well, through the halfway point of this season,
Thursday Night Football is averaging approximately fourteen point ninety five
so coach is rounded up to fifteen million views viewers,
which is a six percent from the prior year. So
you know, it's kind of hard to argue people still
want it. I just don't think they're getting the best quality.
(28:09):
And I, personally, if just not a fan. We got Sunday,
Sunday Night, Monday, and then you know, washed retc Reipeato
of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I think that's best.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm with you and I'm with John Gruden. I can't
believe I'm saying that. You don't have to check my emails.
But my point is this that it is an awful
short week. There were a lot of bad Thursday Night games.
The recovery. I just don't think it really is necessary.
I get it, they want to make another day to
(28:38):
make it marquee so that they can potentially get more
money out of it. If it's a regular game mixed
in with the other Sunday games. It's just a regional broadcast,
do you know what I mean? So when you put
it on here Thursday night, it becomes something that Prime
wants to pay top dollar for. And that's why it's
not going away. It's just not going to go way
(29:00):
as long as someone's willing to spend money for it.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
And it's a shame, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But that's again I blame the players and the Players
Association because they're the.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Ones who's signing off on this.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
They're the ones who players are getting beat up and
having these issues. And you know, they decided that they
wanted to smoke weed and have less practices or whatever
it was. That was part of the deal that they
got for giving into, you know, giving into a Thursday
night game where they could have said, can we get
a week to for our bodies to heal?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Listen, can you give us a week? I don't think
we're far away from a Wednesday game. And I say that,
and I'm kind of serious because think about this. If
I would have told you the amount of international games
we would have had five, ten to fifteen, some money grabbed.
They're making a fly all the way across the fly
to Brazil, fly over here, they played on terrible fields
(29:53):
that weren't even NFL standard exactly for the second money.
And so when you start to look a little deeper
into these Thursday game. So you mentioned a great point there.
You just talked about the fact that, you know, they
can't do Thursday in games because of of course, the
Friday I actould say Friday and Saturday high school football,
college football.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
There's a you know, back in the sixties.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
There's no actual law for that that they they were
challenging that Black Friday game on Amazon, right.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
So it's the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen sixty one
and prohibits the NFL from broadcasting games on Fridays and Saturdays, dude,
from mid September to mid December to protect the you know,
to still have that high school football love envivor.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And because high school it was Friday, college Saturday, and
the NFL was Sunday.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So you're right about that.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
So and the other thing about it you brought, I mean, listen,
it's a lucrative it's money.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I mean, it's current deal they have right now with
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
You're looking at a it's a billion dollar annual deal.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
All right, But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Because of that, that's why it's not going to go anywhere.
Because they make too much money. They're not going to
throw this game and to make it into a Sunday game,
regular regional where only a portion of the country gets
to see it.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Do you know what? There's a big.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Guns and you know it's funny. Yes, they're okay. There
are people who are in their parlays and all. There
are people who are into you know, they're their fantasy.
But I don't feel like people hit you boys up
like yo, you Thursday night. I hear that from Monday.
Clearly they got stuff to do. I feel like Thursday
like nobody's really like in the text chat like yo,
(31:29):
Thursday night football is lit like maybe.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Wrong and no one's I don't think you're meeting somebody
your buddies at a sports bar Thursday night. Kids gotta
go to school the next day. Am I really getting away?
I'm asking, I don't know, and going and hanging out
on a Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I just think that that's.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
Like most people, it's on you know it, you'll turn
to it. We're all sports fans. We love football, you'll
turn to it. But I don't feel like it gets
people like Sunday Night gets you hype.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Right, is you got the best game? You're lit? Okay?
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Or your your particular team on a Sunday all my
team live on the West Coast, so you know it's
ten am, but maybe it's a one pm, four pm start.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Monday Night is Monday Night. I feel like just Thursday
Night is like, oh it's on, let me just turn
it on. No excitement, there's no juice with Thursday Night.
Maybe maybe we're wrong.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
All right, we're wrong eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
I might not agree with a lot of John Guten's
up stuff emails and emails and that stuff, but I'm
I'm with them on this. I really believe that Thursday
Night is bad. Kelvin degrees. Maybe we're the old, sticking

This is the segment on the Odd Couple once a
week where we talk anything not related to the world
of sports.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
So I got this.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
It's still kind of tangentially related to sports here because
it's a cam scataboo clip.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Is where it originated.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
But I think it was yesterday break it off, No, no, no,
nothing like that. I think this is a sign that
his rehabs going well. He was streaming the other night
and he was talking, and he asked his audience if
how they eat their tacos. Do you turn your taco
when you turn into take a bite or do you
turn your head to bite the taco? Essentially, do you
(36:21):
let the taco dominate you? Or do you dominate your taco?
Speaker 6 (36:23):
Oh, I love taco talk.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Don't say I, Rob, I know where you're going.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
I just caution a Alex Rob caution.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
What this is easy?
Speaker 4 (36:39):
And you did you know who you're dealing with here between.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Those well, I knew.
Speaker 8 (36:45):
I just mimicked me having a taco and I turned
my head.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
So I dominate the.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Allow your taco to dominate you because you're yeah, you're hearing.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Do you meet somewhere in the middle manzi how big?
Get your talko? You using both heads?
Speaker 8 (37:03):
A potato soft taco taco bell is very great?

last week. Listen. The answer is the reason why the taco.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
And I hate to say anything dominates your boy, but
taco dominates Ivonte is because you gotta if you if
you turn, the tacos go spill everywhere.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
So you gotta turn your head.

Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Shut up, Alex, So you gotta turn your head to.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
A tax money drops this segment.

Listen, I'm not touching this segment.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
But we're talking about tako.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
I'm sure we are so easy for you.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Got my challenge.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
I'm good, I'm not doing this one.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
I turned my head with the camera and the taco
spilling everywhere.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yeah, so I like chicken casadias. I don't have to
do any head turning. I could just eat you just
have it straight.
Speaker 11 (38:47):
I know.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
First first look at me trying to be professional. I
don't even know the last time you, I don't.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Even know, put the camera, put the cara.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
I don't even know that. You probably couldn't even or
you were like, let me.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
Get a chicken casandilla.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Actually, let me get a chicky chicken case.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I'm gonna pull a curve back. I'm gonna be honest.
Even when I go to Taco Bell, I'll go get
a taco.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
No, and I'll get a taco, but I'll say the
only thing I want it on it.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Is the chicken and the cheese, don't I don't want
anything else. I don't think Taco Bell has chicken? Do they?
But do you know what I'm saying? But I don't
want anything else that make.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Do you just even eat the shell?
Speaker 6 (39:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
I just eat. I eat inside the shell.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Okay, that's it. This is where we wrap up the shell.

Kelvin Oh, I think I know the player.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Here we go. It's a rainbow troue Rock Rock.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
That was a good That was a good clue. Like
with Joe, if you say I was baking fish.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
You might pick a particular fish right exactly.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
With your guest. I was hoping if he got it wrong,
then I would double up with fish. Then I doubled
up with.
Speaker 6 (43:24):
What about the Hawaii National fish?
Speaker 10 (43:28):
I'm just flexing, all right? Next up, what do you
have to wash that fish down with? Okay, Rob, caution,
I know you already know. I'm just all right.
Speaker 5 (43:42):
From two thousand and one to two thousand and four,
the same player won National League MVP in four straight years.
That player was Barry Blank of the San Francisco Giants.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
Calvin Alexi, what up broll Sim's brother?
Speaker 4 (43:57):

Speaker 4 (44:28):
You got it?
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Would you stop coaching him? You said it? Be quiet?
Speaker 9 (44:33):
I believe it was the first one. That's it, Barry Bail. Oh,
you see them always? They are twenty four hours bonds,
bail bonds. That is correct, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I'm sick why, I don't know?
Speaker 9 (44:51):
All right, Oh god, that's my favorite one.
Speaker 5 (44:58):
Jonathan Taylor has been playing amazing this year, but some
people are hesitant to put him in MVP talks as
no running backs or no running back has won the
award since twenty thirteen, when Adrian Peterson won it for
the Minnesota Blank.
Speaker 6 (45:11):
It's a lot of names.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
All I think he focused?
Speaker 10 (45:14):
Right?
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Yes, what was the last two words you said before?
Speaker 6 (45:17):
That's better than the names.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
Washington.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That's right. What's happening to.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
My man's on Thursday? With her brother feeling good?
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Uh, you know, enjoying the fact that look, today was
the last day for us who live out here in LA.
We got some big time storm coming about to act.
When the when the storm's coming, we don't know, not act.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The only reason we got this coming is because Rob
g had planned his big birthday party for his daughter
outside and gave us the whammie you know what I.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Mean, all the times he had like every weekend for
the last six months to pick and then they picked
this one, so yeah, I feel bad for my guy
Rob G and the fan, but you know they they
figured out the alternative, so they're gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yes, but you know how that is. I always remember
the graduation from Columbia. Uh had the big graduation outside
in the courtyard you know there and uptown Manhattan and
the whole nine yards rained like cats and dogs.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Oh terrible, And I didn't feel bad.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm from New York, but I thought all these parents
are flewing from you know, Colombia is an international school.
People flew from all over the world to see their
kid graduate and couldn't take in the the the you know,
the York Yeah, you know what I mean outdoors and
then you have to do the little private one.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
But all right, that's yeah, that's that's the part about
what living here. When people get excited and so one
weekend is raining or cold in LA, You're like, I
swear it's beautiful every other weekend, They're like, no.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Doubt, all right, Hey, aches and pains can sneak in
during the holiday hustle and bustle. A leave can help
you forget that pain, make happy memories instead.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
With just one pill us right.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
A lead provides up to twelve hours of body pain
relief so that you can keep moving used as directed.
All right, Hey, hey, Kelvin, we're just we already know
sho hal Tani was named National League MVP, and I
guess are they still milking it?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
They're milking it nothing yet, not for what I've seen.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I'm just Otani is talking right now.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
They're talking to col Schwarber Otani and Juan Soto, and
they're showing clips of them talking to them.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So they haven't announced anything. Wop. The show is that long?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Apparently listen, man, they gotta listen. Their season is over roped.
They got it.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
They're trying to NFL this thing. How can we prolong
our season and continue to make it a thing?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I mean, but I get the suspense of it because
unlike show, Hey, you knew he was gonna win, do
you know what I mean? Like, so that's anti climatic.
There's nothing to build up there. I don't think anybody
thought that Otani was not gonna win. He wasn't unanimous, correct,
Monty Bilangos, Right, Uh, show, Hey, he wasn't a unanimous
(04:45):
last year?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
No, this year? Right? They haven't said anything.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
They haven't announced it.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
No, he's been he hasn't been announced. He has not
been announced. Rob, it is long.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
We about have to be on here to listen.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
We might have, so why would they So they just
interviewing the three of them.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Correct, and right now they're talking a college shorter. I
thought he was okay, I thought he was already announced.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
No, they have not announced it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So all right, we got our time screwed up then because.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
That, Yeah, we're gonna just switch our whole thing because
that because they're gonna milk this thing like somebody.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Here's where I want to a pivot to this.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Just if Aaron Judge were to win, he would win
three out of four years, right, Okay, here's why I
think you can't have a one off, because you want
to spread the net. Let somebody else win. Aaron Judge
(05:38):
got more chances. Cal Raley probably will never be in
this position again. Like right, Kelvin, you don't expect him
at sixty home runs next year or any other.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Year in his career and all that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But if Aaron Judge wins and it's three out of four,
there are only two other players who won three.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Out of four.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Hello, Barry Bonds and hey, o Tani, you know what
I mean? Like that is the part of the baseball
history that you I don't think you want Aaron Judge
not to be a part of because you're giving the
MVP because you think it's somebody else should get a chance,
or it's not fair because big bad New York wins everything,
(06:21):
even though the Yankees haven't won a World Series since
Moby Dick was a guppy.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You know what I mean. But that's the way it is.
It always plays like, oh, well, you know what, why
can't Seattle win for a change.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Why is it always gotta be the Yankees or the
Dodgers or whatever, those are the best players.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You have any problem with that?
Speaker 7 (06:40):
I mean, I think you're under selling what Kyle Riley
was able to do. I mean, Kyle Riley, I mean
you're talking about again, and you know this, You've been
covered the sport for almost forty years. Baseball loves its numbers.
Baseball loves it's you know, historic. Rather it be numbers
records to hold nine and specifically for a position like
(07:00):
a catcher, for him to have the all time home
runs for a catcher, for him to do it, for
a switch hitter for him to break a franchise record,
I think you're under selling because and this is the
challenge with Lamar Jackson, this is the challenge with Lebron James,
and now this is the challenge with Aaron Judge.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
When you're this great, it's like, well, how do you
top that? And show?
Speaker 9 (07:21):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Otani probably hints forth if he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
But Otani to keep giving it to him.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I just said, if he wasn't pitching, you.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Even pitch that great? Like he wasn't, like he would rob.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
He pitched, Just start and say he pitched, all right,
what's it?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But he also didn't have the offensive year that he
had the year before, and when he did the fifty
to fifty, he also betted two eighty, not over three hundred.
My point is that for some reason somebody didn't go well.
Kyle Schwarber hit more home runs than or close to
show hey, and look at what he did with the
Philly they had the number one overall record in the
National League. To make a sympathy case, no, And my
(07:58):
only point is it shouldn't be based with that. Barry
Bonds won seven because he deserved to win seven, not
because you want to give it to somebody else because.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
I don't I don't disagree with that statement, but I
think you're you're why is it that they're just giving
it to him?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I think again, what he did.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
And for franchise that was able to get into the postseason.
We you and I were on the air when he
ended it that season was home run a couple of
home runs in that game. And almost cemented it right
because it's so nip and tuck. So I just think
that it's.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Not as it's not as a number night on the date. Well,
that's that's the only thing.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
But it is for the value, like meaning what his
position is versus Aaron Judge right, they're completely different. Position
is an outfielder. He's a catcher. So that's where it
is nip and tuck for that position. You're not expecting
a catcher to hit. Will Smith is one of the
best catchers in all of baseball. He has clutch bowmens.
He hits thirty home run just a night. Wow, sixty
is Craig? Can I give you this? And I was
(08:58):
on MLB Network, So I'm cheating.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I didn't do the research they did, Okay, I'm cheating.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
No, No, I'm just being honest.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
They did the ops right, and the thing that was crazy,
and Judges has like a two hundred point lead, okay
over cal Rowley. And here's the thing that was crazy,
the between Judge and Riley Raleigh.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
If they took that same number and did two hundred
points separate to the next guy from cal Rawley, right,
two hundred, it would go from Kyle Raley being fourth
to the next player two hundred down would be number
forty four, Like, that's how many spaces It would be
(09:45):
forty spaces even though cal Raley was fourth compared to
Aaron Judges. First, do you see I'm trying to give
you the point that that's how big of a gap
it is when you talk about a difference between two
hundred and ops, uh every category judgments ten games and
Roley has seven more home runs, not twenty seven, not
(10:08):
fifteen more, he has seven more. And they're trying to
sell us on the idea of, oh, well he catches
to the way he frames the ball. I've heard all
kinds of stuff about he only had one pass ball.
Be honest, Kelvin, what have you ever heard anybody discuss
how many pass balls catch?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
A hat. No, I'm just just you do.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
It very, very very when you read write the.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Script and you're doing Dodgers pre and post. How many
times did you talk about how many passballs somebody had.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
About exact the games? And I might have said it
point zero zero.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
One time, but that's what they're the point Rob that way,
how many passball he only had one?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Pasall? We do?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
You know we do? And I told you this, who's
better Kobe or Lebron?
Speaker 7 (11:04):
We gotta start nitpicking, right, well, who's better Tom Brady, Peyton, Maan,
we gotta start nitpicking.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Well Aaron Drums and the fifth ending of the World Series. John.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
I don't know if I can troublenge like this is.
I'm just saying, this is what we do. We start nitpicking,
or are the opposite, We start finding more little random
stats that.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Fit our narrative for our guy in an instance.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
So in this instance where folks it is cal Riley
and I think that again, but I do think you're
under selling. Sixty is huge, like not like wow, you
had a great see judge in fifty three he's a catcher.
That's the difference, Judge. Again, this is the challenge, This
is what you and I both agree Michael Jordan should
(11:49):
have more than what is it five MVPs.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
That's kind of crazy when you frame how great he was.
But this is the challenge, when how does Michael Jordan
top Michael Jordan? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And show, Hey, that's the that's the only pushback. But
and I think that that because some people could have said, well,
he only he didn't pitch that much this year.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Okay, he didn't pitch at all. Last year.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
He went from fifty stolen bases to seventeen. I don't
know what the number was, but he didn't still bass. Okay, uh,
he didn't have the fifty to fifty anymore. He went
from batting three ten to two eighty or two seventy eight,
so he dropped up thirty points. He went from having
one hundred and thirty RBIs to maybe I don't I
don't have the numbers in front of me, to one
hundred and one.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Do you know what I mean? Like he's off.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Thirty RBIs on and I'm looking okay, so I'm not bad, right,
I said one oh one?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Right, and he had one hundred thirty last year?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
How many stolen bases seventeen eighteen, he didn't have the
fifty Oh this is hold on, if you haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
He had, where are we at twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, I'm in keep going, keep going in the r Okay,
but you know, I'm just saying, like the numbers weren't
what he had last year.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
And I think, and what did he bat to? Seventy eighty?
What he started?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So I said seventeen, I was to eighty two?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, to eighty two batting average?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
What about last year? Three ten?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Last year was I'm pulling it up now, uh three ten?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, these are the numbers I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Like, so there were drops in his numbers where people
can make the argument that he didn't have the same
kind of year he had the year before, But that's
not going to stop him from winning.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
And that's what I said. But here's the magic thing
for talking about show. Hey, he started fourteen games, he
didn't just come in a reliever role.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
What was his record? What was his ELRA?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
What they are I'm about to tell you e al right,
what do you think it was?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Three point two?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Two point eight seven? Okay almost so, yeah, you got
a two point eight seven?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well, his record a four and six.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Five hundred. He's only actually ended up being one in one.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Okay, I can remember at the beginning he didn't pitch enough.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Yeah, it was a couple of he was worked his
way up to about four. That was it for a while,
then five and six. So one in one. But I mean,
you're you're talking about again. Fourteen games started, forty seven
innings pitched, uh and sixty two strikeouts. I mean that
that's why. That's what separated. If it was just strictly
off the bats, I would give you that. I'll give
you it'd be much closer, right sore. Okay, ooh, this
(14:18):
is close. It is close. But when a man can
start fourteen games, that's crazy, Rob, That's just that's just
not normal.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
All right, let me fifty five home run.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Here's the other thing too, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Still waiting on
the results. We know show he's gonna win. We do
not know what's going about.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
They're about to be like and we're here now with
Indian fifth grade teacher. This is his fifth grade teacher.
How was he like in fifth grade?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
You know, peopre gonna scream bloody murder if you don't win.
I'm serious.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Aaron Judge is six seven. When when did he grow?
We're here now with his teacher who saw his gross
spurred Yeah, we're here.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I remember fifth grade four or five four.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Then he's sixty one.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
He can't back, and all of a sudden he's wearing
high waters.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, we're about to milk this thing for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, eight seven seven ninety nine On Fox, We
want to hear from you, just as we wait on
the votes to come in. Which one would shock you more?
That Judge wins or that cal Riley wins.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
You know what I mean? Like which one?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Because I'm telling you right now, I will be shocked
if Aaron Judge doesn't win.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I will be shocked.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
This for me is exactly when you and I sitting
here doing this for weeks and months last year about
the NFL quarterback.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You know how I feel about Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
But I just can always sense when this is about
to be a whatever in that case with Josh Allen.

And I was right.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
I told you, Rob Sterling Junior, come on back, Rob Parker,
Rob Parker.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I A And if nothing else I know about baseball,
If nothing else on this planet, I've been covering baseball, Manzi.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Next year will be my fortieth year, not like periphial.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Wow freaking years of covering Major League baseball.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Oh god, and Monti, Oh god, that's right.
Speaker 10 (18:20):
And Manzi, congratulations to you as the details Masi, and.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
To Aaron Judge.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Yeah, Aaron Judge just announced not long ago that he
has won his second consecutive AL MVP. He received seventeen
of the thirty first place votes. Wow, this is a
third MVP, thirteenth player to win three MVPs. Cal Rawley
obviously split the other first place votes, SoSE Ramirez did
not get any first or second place votes. He got
(18:49):
only third place voste, So seventeen out of.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Thirty, seventeen out of thirty. And Manzi, you stay on
this with the Dodgers and baseball. You know that.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And all I'm gonna say here, Kelvin is there was
a tug of war to me between if if you
don't vote Judge, all of those numbers you talk about
ops and war and all of those become null.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
And boy, what what do we do?
Speaker 6 (19:22):
You?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
See my point?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Like, I get what Kyle Raley did, and he had
a great year and he's a catcher. His sixty on
runs to me, if Kyle Rolly beat Aaron Judges home
run record for AL, he would have wont to award.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
See but that's okay you say that, and I hear you,
But then that means just one home runner.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I guess in this cable there had been two to
beat to beat him.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I'm just saying that would have given him but at
least but.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
That doesn't that take away from what you're just saying.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
No, because he has something that no one's ever done.
When you talk about for a catcher that's not having
the all time record for home runs in the league,
that that's pretty significant. I know it sounds for two
for two home runs, but Kelvin, it's not just the
two Aaron Judges numbers were so ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
No, I don't disagree that was a show when we
set up here.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
You know, well, shoot the little bit of last season
when I was started the show, and now all this
season you and I both have talked about to me,
and I know you because you echo it. What makes
him special him being judged is the fact that he's
not just a power hitter where you are, for instance,
Kyle Roddy, he batt in two forty two, but man,
he's got sixty home runs.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You're talking about a.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Guy six foot seven hitting fifty something home runs sixty
some home runs depending.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
On the year, you know what I mean. It's been remarkable.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
And then batting three point thirty one.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
It's remarkable what he's able to do. And they were
at the end of the.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Ceremony they kind of were just kind of going over
the big facts like Aaron Judge three times winner, only
people to do this and Yankee named a couple of Yankees.
Then they go to show Hey, four time only person
doing more with Barry Box. We are in the middle
of something extraordinarily.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
To the players who ever played in Major League Baseball,
like we're not.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Normal and what we're seeing from Show Hey and Aaron Judge,
I mean, it is just remarkable what they're doing and
a sport that's been around so long, in a sport
that treasures his status, and the sport that travels its numbers.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Uh, And it's been incredible.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
And Aaron Judge, who was also his credit, he's doing
it at a little.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Bit of a later age.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
He's not old now, but he didn't come up young.
He didn't come Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
He's doing this in both and Otani as well doing
this and they're both of their doing it at some
spectacular rate and numbers in their age too.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
So kudos to him. I thought they would go cal
Raley just for.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Again for what he did he's not the only ones.
I mean, you know, and it wasn't a runaway, you
know what I mean. It was thirteen, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
So he Judge got seventeen of the thirty first place
votes and the other thirteen went to Calralin.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Right away from being a tie.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, it was close, Montie, who did you have
going in? Did you? It's a good thing. I don't vote.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Probably would have voted for cal Rawly, but for sentimental reasons,
not for the reasons that you probably should vote. It's
nice to see that, Aaron Judge one because you hate
voter fatigue. We literally saw that with Nicola Jokic and
were not long ago, and.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
We saw that the right, right, and so you see this.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
So it's nice that it wasn't voter fatigue, you know,
like Judge absolutely deserved it. It's just man, Cal you
just went up against well, I'm and I.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Think that was a great point at the end there, Montie.
I do think again, that's.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Why any other year he's the MVP, working with.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Doubt, and I think and I think this reverse it
any other if it was seventeen cal Riley thirteen, any
other this is another MVP for Aaron Judge and I
think again both of them did such astronomical things. When
you're looking at a guy obliterating the Catcher Homer record,
obliterating a French you know, beating a franchise record, Saint
franchise that at one time King Griffy Junior announced where
(22:58):
we guess you know you're.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
The guy and now with his number.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
So it was that close, and this is what happens
when you're dealing with greatness. Show hate to me was
a little more of an easy walkaway, which is why
it was unanimous. But between those two it was it
could have gone either way. And we can be sitting
here going, man, what Aaron Judge who did was crazy?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
How could he have lost that? You know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Like, how could he have lost that? Because his numbers
are crazy? What he's doing, it's not normal. They brought
it up at the end with him, They said, not
only the MVPs with the batting title, and they said,
now you're officially the biggest human ever, have you know?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
And the other number that I saw And this is
the last thing and we'll get because I want to
talk about John Gruden and this conversation about Thursday night
football is about to kick off.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
We'll do that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The last thing, Aaron Judge, who had fifty three home
runs now has the most home runs for anybody who
won a batting title. Like nobody in the history of
baseball ever hit that many home runs and also won
a batting title. Those are the numbers are incredible.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
So yeah, I definitely can't there's no there's no hating,
and yeah there is. This was you know, I'm not
an Aaron, you know, it's just I yeah, I thought
this vote would be one of those where they're just like,
oh man and from a franchise. And this goes to
Manzi's point when you're and you have a Hall of
Fame vote, So I have seen this an MVP, but
(24:17):
just when voting, it's not everybody thinks like it's you
know what a gret example boxing match. Some people will
watch the same fight. And I'm not talking about some
judges where we're a little concerned, like with something paid off.
I'm talking about some people just like the active guy, right, man, Hey,
look he was just active.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
He was fighting the whole time he was in it.
Some people like the more accurate guy. Man, look at this.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Guy, he might not have threw, but he was working.
And so sometimes it's just that closely that it does
come down to what is your flavor of, you know,
of whatever the thing is. Is it more the storyline?
Is it more that I didn't see this coming? Is
it more of the show Hay or the Aaron Judge
where many dudes are doing a year in year year
in year, year in year out of performing and performing.
(24:59):
So to me, you know, that's what makes a challenging
when you're getting this close. What ends up being a
flavor for that particular voter? And I again you being
good for Hall of Fame voter. Some guys, man, you
I like your stance. Hey, if you don't get in
the first time, why am I changing it?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I don't know? And that's never changed right, right?
Speaker 7 (25:16):
And some people say, man, the more I think about it,
somebody brought up a great point.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I didn't think. I read an article. And some people
are like, you, like, what change your career ended? You
didn't play it.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You haven't played in twenty years? What has changed? Right?
All right?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, we will throw
out the number because John Gruden had an interesting thing
comment coming. I don't know if this is going to
help him get back as an NFL coach, saying that
they should scrap Thursday night football, which.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Is a moneymaker for the league.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
But let's hear John Gruden on Thursday Night football, which
is about to kickoff in New England.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
Let's start with Thursday night football.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Man, what a treat.
Speaker 11 (25:55):
It is no preparation, no times to recover, no chance
get rid of these Thursday night games.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Jump them. It's not fair to the players.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
It's not fair to the coaches who goes out and
tries to perform at a high level with no preparation.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Dump these games.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Where are you, Kelvin Man, I've been one of these
to be dumped for up until maybe the last couple
of years. Most of the games will blowouts or most
of them were just remember we were getting bad teams.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
It was Jags versus whoever.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
It was Jags and Panthers and Jags who in the
next team.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
And they were bad games, and they weren't great.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
And you talk about you start to read into with
some of the players have acknowledge and that, and even
John Gruden, he went a little further talking about why
he doesn't like it. You're just getting a bad product.
Football is brutal. It is a brutal sport. And if
I just played on Sunday night or Sunday, you know,
and I had.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
A bad, brutal game, beaten batter. Now I gotta travel
across the country. We lose some couple of days.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
The rest we're trying to scramble and readjust our normal
program regiment.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Now, with scrambling trying to you're gonna get a bad product.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
If it's another team that didn't have to play honey,
or maybe they just were, you know, more locked in,
you're not getting the high quality football and.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
The best version of it. You got to think about it.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
They're playing on a Thursday when normally they were playing
another three days later on three and maybe four.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
If it was a Monday night game.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
So you're not getting the best product, and it's just
and oftentimes we leave dissatisfied watching it. So I'm just
not a fan. I like when we get towards a
little bit later in the season. We started to get
those Saturday games right.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Once the college football season.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Yeah, I like some of those, Like, Okay, you know,
I got some big time games on a weekend I'm
locked in. Maybe you and the homies go watch it
somewhere Thursday Night. I just don't feel like it.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Now. I'm saying all this. When I looked up the numbers, the.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Argument would be well, through the halfway point of this season,
Thursday Night Football is averaging approximately fourteen point ninety five
so coach is rounded up to fifteen million views viewers,
which is a six percent from the prior year. So
you know, it's kind of hard to argue people still
want it. I just don't think they're getting the best quality.
(28:09):
And I, personally, if just not a fan. We got Sunday,
Sunday Night, Monday, and then you know, washed retc Reipeato
of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
I think that's best.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm with you and I'm with John Gruden. I can't
believe I'm saying that. You don't have to check my emails.
But my point is this that it is an awful
short week. There were a lot of bad Thursday Night games.
The recovery. I just don't think it really is necessary.
I get it, they want to make another day to
(28:38):
make it marquee so that they can potentially get more
money out of it. If it's a regular game mixed
in with the other Sunday games. It's just a regional broadcast,
do you know what I mean? So when you put
it on here Thursday night, it becomes something that Prime
wants to pay top dollar for. And that's why it's
not going away. It's just not going to go way
(29:00):
as long as someone's willing to spend money for it.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
And it's a shame, I don't think.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But that's again I blame the players and the Players
Association because they're the.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Ones who's signing off on this.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
They're the ones who players are getting beat up and
having these issues. And you know, they decided that they
wanted to smoke weed and have less practices or whatever
it was. That was part of the deal that they
got for giving into, you know, giving into a Thursday
night game where they could have said, can we get
a week to for our bodies to heal?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Listen, can you give us a week? I don't think
we're far away from a Wednesday game. And I say that,
and I'm kind of serious because think about this. If
I would have told you the amount of international games
we would have had five, ten to fifteen, some money grabbed.
They're making a fly all the way across the fly
to Brazil, fly over here, they played on terrible fields
(29:53):
that weren't even NFL standard exactly for the second money.
And so when you start to look a little deeper
into these Thursday game. So you mentioned a great point there.
You just talked about the fact that, you know, they
can't do Thursday in games because of of course, the
Friday I actould say Friday and Saturday high school football,
college football.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
There's a you know, back in the sixties.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
There's no actual law for that that they they were
challenging that Black Friday game on Amazon, right.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
So it's the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen sixty one
and prohibits the NFL from broadcasting games on Fridays and Saturdays, dude,
from mid September to mid December to protect the you know,
to still have that high school football love envivor.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And because high school it was Friday, college Saturday, and
the NFL was Sunday.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So you're right about that.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
So and the other thing about it you brought, I mean, listen,
it's a lucrative it's money.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I mean, it's current deal they have right now with
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
You're looking at a it's a billion dollar annual deal.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
All right, But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Because of that, that's why it's not going to go anywhere.
Because they make too much money. They're not going to
throw this game and to make it into a Sunday game,
regular regional where only a portion of the country gets
to see it.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Do you know what? There's a big.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Guns and you know it's funny. Yes, they're okay. There
are people who are in their parlays and all. There
are people who are into you know, they're their fantasy.
But I don't feel like people hit you boys up
like yo, you Thursday night. I hear that from Monday.
Clearly they got stuff to do. I feel like Thursday
like nobody's really like in the text chat like yo,
(31:29):
Thursday night football is lit like maybe.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Wrong and no one's I don't think you're meeting somebody
your buddies at a sports bar Thursday night. Kids gotta
go to school the next day. Am I really getting away?
I'm asking, I don't know, and going and hanging out
on a Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I just think that that's.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
Like most people, it's on you know it, you'll turn
to it. We're all sports fans. We love football, you'll
turn to it. But I don't feel like it gets
people like Sunday Night gets you hype.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Right, is you got the best game? You're lit? Okay?
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Or your your particular team on a Sunday all my
team live on the West Coast, so you know it's
ten am, but maybe it's a one pm, four pm start.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Monday Night is Monday Night. I feel like just Thursday
Night is like, oh it's on, let me just turn
it on. No excitement, there's no juice with Thursday Night.
Maybe maybe we're wrong.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
All right, we're wrong eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
I might not agree with a lot of John Guten's
up stuff emails and emails and that stuff, but I'm
I'm with them on this. I really believe that Thursday
Night is bad. Kelvin degrees. Maybe we're the old, sticking
(32:32):
the mud kind of guys. It could be and we're
definitely well. I want to hear from you and where
you are on this. Let's hear from you. Eight seven

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
