coverage is way better than some of the football coverage from this weekend some
of the coverage on the field anyway you talking about the the coverage of well
let's just get into it shall we so here's here's a good news uh
oh yeah let me get back here it's the last time we're going to use this
Darry the Capitals are still playing that's a sports ball that's real sports
is what we use that for but uh we are 90 some days from pitchers and catchers
reporting mhm which means that baseball is a long way
starting you know opening day is means off we're also 90 we in the next 90 days
we should really find some time to go to Vegas and put our World Series Orioles
bet or pennant a opener that's right it's gonna be the odds are gonna be
astronomical and I feel like the person's gonna look at it and be like
the the Baltimore Orioles okay I mean the one that was voted the worst I don't
even know if we have odds for this we had to make some cook yeah Baltimore
Orioles yes Jerry somebody wants to bet on the Orioles Yahweh the Ravens no or
else okay Orioles Orioles that's who do they want well just remember every
single time Buck has lost a job the team has gone to the World Series the
following year so not always won not always won but Nick go to the World
Series the AL pennant I feel like is safe in hand yeah it's gonna be the most
dramatic comeback in the history of sports
47 loss or 47 win season two in it yeah 47 win season two a forty seven lost
season here we go man so if that would be one 112 we lost so 162 altogether 47
means that there are 12
how many losses the Orioles 115 is how many we had if you'll believe that 115
losses no no let me go to the standings see if they still have this 157 I know
they won 115 has been beads no you didn't know there's a Yankee Cena won
won won won 19 I think I think 119 sold yeah but I mean listen
if we're gonna shoot for the shoot for the moon here let's just say the most
wins in history from 47 wins which might be near the loss in modern history to
119 wins and most wins in modern history I'm gonna have to I need to know now the
the desire to know was to - I won 16 yes one 16 was Yankees right
no one 16 was the 1906 Chicago Cubs the Seattle mayor 2001 Seattle Mariners
maybe that's why I was saying enough the Yankees in 1998 won 114 and 48 oh they
were on the way tip maybe they were on the way to breaking that Cubs won that
was ridiculous though because it's 154 yeah so they went 116 out of 150 for
only thirty six losses so I guess better please our bet thank you go to Vegas but
it plays a bet on the Ravens game now well I was a before I do think it's 47
losses the worst loss mmm that's the worst in the history of Major League
Baseball yeah 62 yeah at least amount of wins and 160
yeah we I think we crushed that record by quite a lot would be nice anyway uh
luckily we didn't go a place or a bet on the Ravens game last week because that
didn't work out so well yeah the Ravens were a six-point favorite by the way
plain playoff games I did not I would not have put money on by six there's no
there's not a way in the world I'd feel comfortable with that I wonder what the
the halftime change was like like what the we're up by uh charge they're up by
nine going into the half and you know how they do the like our live betting
yeah why if you're if you're in Vegas you can bet just the second half right
that this the sweeping change must have been huge I mean you don't think they
would view like charters by six at least Oh God
six point under six point underdogs to six point favorites in the at halftime I
don't know how it works when you do live betting I've never actually done that
part I just placed the bet before the game and then yeah that's that's all I
do I mean the odds change as the game goes
on yeah so you lock in you can bet during the game right I just don't know
exactly how it works I'm not I'm not like tight on sports game you're
supposed to be the expert here I know are we doing sorry been doing but
nonetheless uh it started out first of all we made it out and watch the game
yes sir that was nice I do feel like a playoff game was
worthwhile to get up at 9 o'clock complete number one you're playing in LA
team yeah why are we playing it the 10 o'clock Pacific game that made no sense
to me I mean like I really assume that the NFL's
logic was that nobody in LA is actually gonna come out and watch this game yeah
so why are we even bothering what time we could put it on to 6:00 in the
morning it doesn't even matter do be fair we were at a bar at 9:45 in the
morning and there was nobody there the people were there
we're Chargers fans for the most part there was like over the course of the
the morning I think there were like six or seven Chargers fans who were there
yes and they we and those Chargers fans were eventually outnumbered by Eagles
fans yeah yeah so like they're good seats for the Eagles game you know who
came in early but again the Eagles fans the late game fans outnumbered the
Chargers fans in the bar in downtown LA where you learn so that should tell you
and maybe that's it maybe they were just like one of these games has got to be
late what is gonna be the bigger draw for the late afternoon game who do we
want to stick in that church traffic yeah you know any yeah yeah I guess we
stick the charges Ravens and it was a church traffic kind of game I I we all
saw it so we don't need to discuss too much about like the what happened during
the game I will say this I am not at all happy with the NFL officiating idea of
why Melvin Gordon wasn't didn't have a fumble on the goal line there yeah did
you get a better explanation what was the explanation so I watched a video
from like whatever NFL Network's Morning Show is it's like the NFL this morning
or something like that and they had the president of the Rules Committee like on
there describing what exactly happened and he said there was the be hit by
Weddell on the foot of Melvin Gordon means that when he went down he was
immediately down the can that he hit but there was no
movement of the ball so therefore there was no fumble because as soon as he hit
the ground the play was dead because he was in in contact but you caused my
point and like really this is a when you see coaches like screaming on the
sidelines yeah most of the time what they're doing is they're arguing about
something that probably won't get overturned they're screaming about some
little thing that just to make the referee think about it yeah and what
Harbaugh's job at that point is supposed to be doing is running up to every
single referee and throwing his hat on the ground and going like that ball was
coming loose that ball was coming loose before he hit the ground not because he
has some meat there like some ability to like see the play and see how it how it
worked out but in an effort to try and get them to watch the replay and say
holy shit that ball yeah that's the thing he wants them to look at yeah
they're going under the hood because if they're going under the hood and they
see that the ball is moving a little bit then it's still a very highly unlikely
hood that they overturn the play and actually let the touchdown stand but I
to the best of my knowledge from what I saw all the replays I saw they didn't
blow the whistle no so I mean like at least they let that part play out but it
was it was so weird that I don't know that that was a 14-point swing because
they had touchdown the very next play it would have been a touchdown for us yeah
and that would have been a tremendously different game and you know you can't
predict how things would change from that point on but I'm saying that that
would have given the Ravens the lead by what like three points at that point
yeah 15 9 or something damnit forces yeah I mean but the bigger
thing though is it's about what is he looking at when he goes under the hood
right because the question is was he just looking at Oh was there a touch is
he down or was looking at the ball coming loose right and that's that
that's the big question and that's the thing if you it it's not about like and
again the the likelihood that the referee actually overturns it based off
of the video evidence that is there is very low but it doesn't change the fact
that you should be you know much like if you found out that quacking like a duck
makes police not give you tickets a imagine how many people are just gonna
be quacking all the time just because II if you just blew through a stop sign and
hit a nun and launched her into the side of a school for the blind or something
like bad yeah officer comes up to the window where the shot where our children
in it's just quacking the cop to their question just crack at him that'll get
you tased that that'll get you taste I love that video I sent you by the way of
the two lawyers are like smoking pot and it's just like police comes up to your
door what do you do shut the fuck up which is great advice I don't know how
the Bar Association would look at two layers on YouTube smoking pot and giving
legal advice over the Internet I mean California bar is probably a lot more
relaxed than the mainland I mean it's not against the law to smoke weed now in
California so you were as a an attorney not allowed to use alcohol in your
advertisements in Maryland at least I can't say for California so I feel like
is it the same logic that like you could have a drink in your hand but you just
can't drink it no because I mean like in advertisements or beer and stuff like
that they can't drink it okay TV but they can show people like holding up a
bunch of Coronas and like having a great time so the never see somebody actually
indulge in the beverage part of this thing is it's that you can't show
anything that would put the practice of law in a negative light so that means no
show not like not just not showing the or not just not drinking the alcohol but
not showing alcohol not like again why would you need to I mean maybe you can
make the the logic that the weed is medicinal and you could show the weed
yeah but you wouldn't want to and in fact I think as far as Maryland's
concern you can show an actor portrayal but you can't have the person claiming
to be a lawyer be the one who is holding or referencing or whatever
not actually
they get around it but then you got to worry about California and Florida are
both big on the like when you hold yourself out to be a lawyer but you're
not a lawyer so yeah watch out for that but it was you're funny and people
should check in the show notes back to the whole point which is we just
got into a huge tuft about the controversy surrounding the Ravens game
you know and what are your thoughts well the controversy which is what I saw a
random guy wearing a Ravens head in the building today not a country and I saw
him and I was like a Ravens fan and then I showed him my chéri which was or even
shirt and immediately lunch and do you think we should have brought Joe into
that game because they were talking about the halftime show apparently yes
they were like on the CBS halftime show or something they were talking about
should Joe coming to this game and like half the coaches and suffer like yeah
you should go man yeah well you don't remember that we I mean I wasn't
listening to it now do I listen to the halftime size and tell me what to think
but yeah I they they basically you know at the beginning of the game they take
the vote of who they think is gonna win yeah yeah and they kind of pulled
everybody and they were like I think this is on the border of getting out of
hand if it starts to get out of hand they gotta bring Joe in he's a guy with
experience he's a guy who's gonna know what to do but anyway I mean so
basically the controversy is should the Ravens have when when the game was out
of hand brought Joe in to try and stem the tide
and maybe get the Ravens back into it nah I I don't even you know I mean the
Ravens were close at the end they could have scored and won on the last Drive
that they wanted to but it was up until garbage time there was there was no
Ravens offense three quarters of negative passing yardage from Leo
Jackson was garbage time what when was garbage time like when it got up 22
three or whatever yeah that point that last Drive they had a chance to tie it
oh it didn't go for the win yes so there's no garbage time they the garbage
time is everything up until the point where they start where the charges
started playing a little bit more lacks okay and allowing the Reimann to get
back into the game and then like you know the the thought
process is that you know if you're beating a team by a lot you're not going
to go 100% full-bore and you're trying to like you know do doing all the same
things that you would do when you're in a tie game trying to make competitive
plays you give them a little bit more cushion so you don't give up the big
play but you're getting a lot of like 14-yard outs because the the cornerback
is giving you more coverage and it's also helping Lamar because he can't read
the corners the other thing is having a really hard time reading corners and he
has been the entire time he's been starting for the Ravens and he just
needed to like being able to actually have a little bit of cushion around his
wide receivers allowed him to actually throw the ball better downfield okay
so back to the back to the controversy yeah but everyone who thinks said that
Jo can't be brought into this game or that he's it's gonna rattle Lamar or
some shit like that just shut the fuck up forever I mean like really cuz I get
I get the players being upset because there were there were boos at Mt there
was a Marine there is a clamoring for Jo that's the part that is more likely to
rattle the young quarterback I mean there was even a video of Jo on the
sidelines saying like this is fucking ready yes they're booing him right now
yeah but a point had to be made that the Chargers came into this game with a game
plan that was we are not going to let them run all over us and for the most
part that was true they the Ravens while they were effective with the run were
not the same running team that they had been previously especially against the
Chargers three weeks ago sure yeah and they it was clear that if we were gonna
beat them we were gonna have to throw them all and conventional wisdom
probably would say that the best way to the Chargers would be to throw the ball
anyway as opposed to running the ball against like Bosa and Ingram and stuff
like that okay but we had success with it a few weeks ago we did but you know
that's not a just because you win a game running the ball a lot doesn't
necessarily mean it's it's the way to the formula to beat a team you know okay
that can be a one-off kind of
how did that last game go where we beat the chargers by like what - okay oh yeah
yeah yeah yeah I listen and this this is not my but I have no problems with Lamar
I'm really excited about the future of the Lamar Ravens elad Ravens but there
is a difference between almost any other example that you can give me and what
happened on Sunday which is Lamar just cannot read the defense yet and this is
not a detriment to him I'm not saying he's not gonna be able to get there or
that he won't be an exceptional passing quarterback at some point cuz he's got
the arm it's yeah or he's got a live arm the problem is that he just doesn't he
can't see where people are moving on the field so when he's throwing it up blind
and then anybody's TV just sneaks in out of nowhere that's something that we
can't afford I mean like the fumbles and everything like that
the Ravens just could not afford turnovers and they turned over the ball
a ton yesterday and there was a point where you just started needed to make
shots down the field cuz you had you know what we were discussing Joe coming
in with like seven minutes left in the fourth and stuff like that seven minutes
left in the fourth you need to you need to be able to like have some big the
comeback happen you know yes yeah I just think that the if if it was if it was
Ryan Tannehill who is the the starter for the Dolphins and has been for many
years and he goes out there in a playoff game and he throws four picks in the
first half what she did well I'm saying if he if he is out there doing something
truly terrible then there is a expectation that he might get benched
and another quarterback might be brought in to just at least stem the tide and
try and get them back into competitiveness and your argument is
that Lamar's performance was equal to that it was equal to four interceptions
no but I'm saying that Lamar's it there there were many problems with the the
Ravens yesterday one of them was that the coaching
was absolutely terrible there the play calling was abysmal and there didn't
seem to be any idea of how to fix the problem yeah the the other part though
is that Lamar just could not handle what they needed do what was needed to get
them back into this game and your argument is Joe Flacco had that uh Joe
Flacco is more in tune is more that at some point you know five years from now
or something like that there's going to be a team who does two quarterbacks and
they're gonna dedicate themselves to this idea oh yeah yeah there's a down
field quarterback they're just like what the there used to be thirty two running
backs every single team had a had a bell cow running back like Le'Veon Bell who
just seventy percent of the rushes went to levy on bail yeah and maybe there was
like some big huge idiot who you'd hand out the ball to on the one-yard line
like a fullback the bus yeah the bus who just runs in for the one-yard touchdown
or something like that maybe you have a speed guy who also does like punt
returns and stuff like that but he's also a change of pace back or like the
second-string guy already knows now they're running back to the NFL you have
to have like two or three of them all I can think is marques colston
is that wide receiver hashas quarterback now wide receiver I know he's New
Orleans wide receiver yeah but he was Hofstra quarterback he was hosters tight
end o who was our quarterback no are you talking about Giovanni Carr mozzie no I
thought that it's the only drafted quarterback object I thought mark you
know I thought marques colston was a quarterback that went to wide
receiver now he was a tight end that went to white or is he white so change
on that then yeah but a good my point is that it's sometimes that the white the
quarterbacks in college go to wide receiver yes I mean they can they can
they're there I mean terrelle pryor is probably the best known version of this
he was a quarterback for Ohio State but nobody thought of him as being able to
handle the quarterback position at the NFL level so he transitioned into wide
receiver to play in the NFL and so my thought is he's had ups and downs but
how does the value go up of a guy like that who is on the field every
single play but you can run an option with but he's a quarterback so you know
he's got the training and the mentality of a quarterback but I just think
they're gonna have they're gonna have people who come in in certain looks I
didn't you know you know like win when Lamar comes in
it's like alright run play here we go he's not throwing it downfield
well I mean he's live you can say the same thing about the Patriots on the
running backs James White comes in there's more likely they're gonna pass
it or Sonia Michelle's in there then that means they're gonna run it yeah
yeah I mean there's no there's no like question I mean like do do they pass the
ball when zoning Michelle is in there yes but do they pass it to sunny
Michelle no I don't think we know that you know if James White is in there poor
there's a higher likelihood that they're passing the Michelle's and there's a
highly like Oh hood that they're running it I'm gonna put her down I just want to
say Carly Cruz making an appearance on the podcast she's distracting me yes
so back to the controversy though here is my point at some point you've
discounted but I'm gonna make it nonetheless which is that next year
Lamar Jackson is gonna be a starter trade Joe somewhere and most likely his
backups gonna be RG three another experienced quarterback yeah where you
know somebody of kin - sure yeah but it's gonna be somebody who's got
more NFL experience probably more successful experience than Lamar does
yeah I mean like the the idea when you have a rookie quarterback as you want
somebody who's like able to help Shepherd their career along a little bit
was it Gregg Zaun who is the catcher when weeders came up yeah yeah why is he
here well because he's here for weeders yeah and weeders comes up he's gonna be
the guy who's like who changes weeders all those tricks yes yeah in with him
and teaching him ten years where the catching are got like 15 years song was
always help God isn't he's got to be horrible right but anyway now my point
is he had a little stool
yeah pads you actually shadows are the new savers yeah yeah that's how you do
the same thing he's got the actual stew like a cobbler stool every time you see
the two legs pop down I'm sure they can
anyway so here's my point Lamar's gonna have somebody with
experience behind him if they would at the vigil they would have put Buster
Posey out on them like no no you could sit for the rest of just throwing it and
getting up just uh just rolling it behind the pitch he just looks that he's
like it's like somebody um hey Pablo you want to get that one Lamar is gonna have
an experienced quarterback behind it most likely yeah
and if you pull him in a situation like that in this game that and I don't care
I know you say it's not true but there is no way that doesn't get in his head
nobody at game situations next year nobody was talking about whoa is me to
Joe Flacco in his fragile ego when Lamar Jackson was coming in running one off
run Platt run bass options he he was the quarterback he was Drew Bledsoe ya know
he was going into the season he was the starter there was no reason to imagine
that he wasn't going to be the starter unless he either got hurt which he did
or he was so horrendously terrible and the Ravens were so far out of it that
they said to themselves it's not even worth throwing Joe out there anymore
because he says if he gets hurt then we're fucked because we can't trade him
next year and we might as well get Lamar out there and get him some reps but
that's the part of the part of the the beauty of Lamar coming in when he did
was he came in at the point in the season where we were discussing like
well the reason you have to win out of Lee win every one of their games and
they would head on out to have a chance to get in the playoffs and then they did
that that was he did that he led the team to that so you led the team to that
there's a lot there's a lot of Ravens fans right now who were who are
suffering from some very short term memory and
number one Joe has led us on multiple fourth-quarter comebacks yes in the
playoffs especially where he is truly a different player than he has during the
regular season how many of those happened last year the year before well
none of them happen for the last four years because we haven't been in the
playoffs for four years who would be responsible for that
Joe Flacco leader of the team no the leader of the team crystal I
still maintain that Joe I mean like for all the people who were talking about
like Phillip Rivers being a Hall of Famer and Matt Ryan and all these other
quarterbacks who came out like roughly around the same time that Joe did yeah
Phillip Rivers obviously is probably like five or six more years than Joe
does under his belt mm-hmm but I mean these guys played with other players who
were incredible Joe's best wide receiver ever was either Anquan Boldin or Steve
Smith and both of them were way past what we would consider their prime at
the time Crabtree looks really good in his career Crabtree is not Julio Jones
Matt Ryan has had for his entire time yes a combination of Julio Jones and
Roddy White and you know all the sinew and all these people and Rivers has had
you know a Antonio Gates which is a wonderful piece to have who's looking
old as hell by the way well but I mean like you know all these all these Joe
has never had a supporting test around him that made him better and many of the
times where we were not making the playoffs here for the last four years we
were throwing out you know who's the the wide receiver who led the team in
receptions at one year and he's like fucking out of the NFL now it was only
like two or three years ago no idea he signed up eventually signed on with the
Colts I don't even know if he's not still on the team a chard Perryman no no
no but I mean like Perryman is another one and like you know the the number of
times that we've had nobody to fucking throw to and I think that that Joe has a
very complicated legacy because people have a hard time seen the things that he
did with hey less than than stellar supporting cast and
if anything I'm going to say this this is the point I'll leave you with and
it's not about you know whether or not Joe should have come in or not or any of
that it's about what we're doing going forward there's gonna be the state of
the Ravens press conference probably in like a week or something like that it's
usually they give him like a week to like think about things mm-hmm and it'll
be you know Ozzy and Steve bisciotti and Harbaugh up there and if they want Lamar
Jackson to take the next step and be the best version of himself that he can be
yeah they need to go up there and fire Marty more yes a million percent because
here's the thing i learning NFL defenses is something that most people probably
want to be able to do mmm you would think about like these stupid jocks and
you know the people who are quarterbacks and stuff like that and I don't
necessarily well I mean like the if you said to somebody how smart is an athlete
like on this chart where 10 is Nobel laureate and zero is guy who scrapes
dumb off of the ground at Disney yeah not to cast dispersions
yeah if you're making a scale right yeah yeah and you're saying NFL player where
are you ranking them on the list I imagine were sub 5 somewhere is where
most people would rank them but to be an NFL quarterback and to be able to see
how things are moving without without knowing exactly how they're gonna go is
a special skill yeah and it's something that's really hard to do and especially
hard to learn and the difference between a top-flight college and the NFL level
is like going from you know high school chemistry to NASA
Regis divided Philip Rivers really good at it yeah him reading the Ravens
defense and like coming up to the line seeing where everything was changing the
play at the line that's what you want well not only that I mean like and it's
the type of thing that like it may not necessarily allow you to write
dissertations on half the Roman Empire fell or anything like that but he's you
know if you talk to Philip Rivers at like half-time he'll say things like
you know well for the first quarter and a half there we were only converting
four of seven first downs and I we need to bring that number up I I need to be
over 75% if I'm going to feel confident about it come back in this like knowing
numbers and stuff like that and be able to like articulate them into a game plan
and things like that it's just that a rageous ly difficult thing to do and
that's why I don't get on the bars case mmm
so much when he doesn't you know look like a traditional quarterback throwing
the ball because I understand that he just can't see what is going on the same
way that Phillip Rivers can see I'm sorry in college it's less necessary to
do that and when you get a certain number of seasons in when you're drew
Brees or Phillip Rivers or Aaron Rodgers or something like that like it just
becomes easy the problem is that your body starts breaking down and it becomes
harder to be Tom Brady said that right those banning me and if I had two more
seasons or three more CSP Payton was saying like when he by the time he got
to Denver like he was playing mentally he was playing the game at a different
level yeah and nobody could nobody could touch him in terms of like what he was
seeing on the field yeah the problem was that his body wasn't
cooperating with him so he would try and make that same throw he used to make
because he knew that he had the the ground Ellie Ben yeah yeah but he just
couldn't make it and that's the I mean you know it regardless
Marty needs to go yes because there is a real chance that if you get a good
imaginative coach who who has some gravitas to him and like you know can
can speak to the to the offensive side of the ball and make this the team that
we want there you cannot convince me that next season wouldn't be Michael
Vick in his heyday okay with Lamar and didn't remember big used to run for 80
yards in a game but he used also throw for 300
he had an electric arm getting getting him out now is the important part though
so that we are getting free agency with the new OSI yeah getting the draft with
the new OSI and getting an ID winter meat and everything I do not trust Marty
mourning wig I just do not he's not capable of crafting a quarterback like
you know it you know we talked about Peyton Manning
the reason why a case was so in demand with Miami and why he's probably gonna
get another NFL head coaching career was because he took Peyton Manning from the
best college football quarterback in a long time and was able to craft him into
one of the five best quarterbacks of all time and it again the divide between
those two is so huge yeah and somebody who's able to bring you to that level is
a very special thing you know you need somebody who's gonna be able to get
Lamar started off right yeah and I'm fine with him you know like sort
of getting his reps of the season and doing everything that he needs to do and
preparing for the future but we really need a serious offense of mind to handle
what we're gonna be doing here and part of the reason why Marty was saved for so
many years here was because Joe kept saying I just don't want to change a new
system yeah because he ever systems in the first few years first nine seasons
he had seven offensive coordinators or something like that he's like please
just for the love God spring Marty back I got regrets that now oh I'm sure he
regrets that yeah I mean maybe because Marty has been resting on morals what I
mean like it and I'm not saying fire Harbaugh or fire a Martindale or anybody
else I'm just saying just fire fire Marty everyone else who's on the
offensive coaching staff can stay for now
and we'll say new offensive coordinator
is gone because I just can't I can't do it I can't I can't see the promise of
the next generation being thrown away under Marty's stupid ass watch yes and
you know if you just fireman week nine next season you're ruining that time in
the preseason where you could be like well I'm off season drills and
everything like that do you might ruin your quarterback -
yeah yeah it might get to the point where he's just saying I learned all
these things under my last OC and it's hard for me to relearn somebody else's
said no you know what I mean like I know it wouldn't happen because he's
perfectly fine at Michigan at the moment but I wouldn't mind bringing in Jim
Harbaugh as I see the whole horrible army I mean he's never gonna do it
because he likes being a college football level yeah he does and I'm sure
that he wouldn't want to be like an offensive coach per se but the
ability to mold I mean like he's just really good at quarter also would you go
from a pro a professional coaching job to a one of the best college jobs ever
to being a coach under your brother yeah I get the logic I'm just saying like I
said one of the the the the idea of it is just no it's good that's as far as
like a if you got fired tomorrow for something hmm then just water water in
the camp is good yeah so I think that does it for sports both yeah solid solid
45 minutes ago
so speaking of the stupid rocks in our Merc oh wait no that's Daisy is that you
yes see you Daisy we have a switch in the building now and there's been a lot
of switch playing yes Jose this Legend of Zelda breath of the wild is a amazing
game and he can speak for the experience cuz he has about 97 hours of play time
in the last hundred hours so I usually don't get tied up in video games the
only time we ever do it is Legend of Zelda it doesn't it it chants me and I
think so much of the problem was and I found myself doing this earlier I
finished writing and then I was gonna take a break for a while so I could be
like clear my head and then read it fresh right yeah I'm gonna play for an
hour here I'm like beating a boss and then I'm just saying to myself like
alright so what I should really do is get to my next the pot yes go to the
next place I need to go to and I'll save the game there and then when I can start
the game fresh I'll be already there ready to go ready to get into it and
then that turns into four and a half hours later just like of course I'll
help you find an owl ma'am yeah and this is how Red Dead Redemption gets here
yeah because it's the missions inside the missions that when you're going to
save and then like help me help me and you go over and do it
yeah and I'll say I'll say that Zelda probably owes a lot to open open-world
games like that a little bit more because old Zelda games were very much
they you would have some character come and tell you every couple seconds like
oh you should probably be heading to Death Mountain right about now and then
you were like alright well I'm just going to death Mountain yeah but then in
this game it's just sort of like alright let's see yeah I'll be there eventually
wandering around going like what do I do and it's actually more I find it more
invigorating not to being told what to do yes and just sort of in because again
so much of the old Zelda games were like you know you needed to have a hook shot
by the time you got to Zoras Kingdom and if you didn't have it then you were
fucked but it was guiding you to get that yeah on the way right
I mean honestly they got that's I like the open world because it's like you
don't necessarily need something certainly is a lot a lot easier if yeah
it's on the way if you if you have like a fully fully stocked gear list then
you're probably better off you can do that in your side missions first you go
out and do that stuff and then start the whole thing so anyway speaking of smart
men making really dumb pronouncements like Jim Harbaugh they had that coming
up soon but before we get into that the shut down an ant ant ant ant ant ant ant
ant ant ant the shutdown now in its third week yes bordering on one of the
are about to border on the longest shutdown ever the longest says it seems
right now I said in the pre-show meeting I believe is 22 days from 1996 which if
I remember right was also in the wintertime I want to say it wasn't
around Christmas cuz I feel like they pushed it into January or February but
then went three weeks in like February yeah I think that's right
it sounds right yeah because they were smart and said you know what we don't
want to do we don't want to alienate our base by shutting down a Christmas yeah
and this president doesn't doesn't believe that oh my god Trump too and not
like but I enjoy that Trump when asked about all the people who haven't gotten
a paycheck for three weeks now what they're doing like how he how he feels
about that situation he's this like well you know things like this happen and
people find a way to make it work yeah and I'm just like uh-huh bill you you
find a way to make it work yeah supposedly hey Dad I need some money
okay down okay Donald here you go so that's how he's had to make it work we
didn't really talk about this but just to mention it um White House staff got a
pay increase during the shutdown mmm or are the Trump staff got a pay increase
during the shutdown so tone-deaf does not begin does not begin to summarize me
you have TSA workers who are working for free working for
and you give your staff a raise I just it's beyond me yeah I mean hey we refer
to the show Roberto Arizona joining from Sonora Mexico where I was just a few
weeks ago welcome Roberto I hope you take the time to play for your parents
my greeting for them from last week's episode if you guys are wondering about
my adventures in Sonora you can check that out on last week's episode it's 247
247 can't believe rip that hi no but so the trunk the shutdown is in
full effect which means there's very little news except for people wondering
when is a shutdown gonna end the house actively tabi taking up the issue trying
to address the shutdown the Senate well not so much what is it Senate addressing
nothing oh no they have a bill oh damn I had this pretty talking about the 101
or 108
Senate bill 1 oh yeah the Senate not taking up the shutdown instead a bill
which would make the BDS or the what is this group called we're like you um you
don't buy things from Israel as a protest mm-hmm making that illegal so a
company who actively does not take bids in Israel cannot take a bid from the
United States government No so okay have you heard about this no yeah so we
should remember what the protest is called anyway the bill was written by a
IP AC which is the American Israeli partnership mm-hmm something committee
and it's now been bringing but um so it gives state and local governments
explicit legal authority to boycott any US companies which themselves are
participating in a boycott against Israel I mean they basically just have
to take an offer though right what do you mean I mean like you know the reason
why Apple is and has all its banking based out
Ireland is because Ireland has the best rate rates for corporations who are
trying to hide money overseas yeah I mean like you know if the thought
process is that you have to take some take some pitches from Israeli banks as
well and they take a pitch and then that they don't have enough to get the
business well it doesn't really matter at that point right I mean like so so
this is there isn't like basically a group that's signed up and I can't oh
yeah I wish I could remember memories aleni
boycott divestment and sanctions so there's a basically list and it says we
as a company will not support Israel okay so we are part of the boycott
divestment and sanction agreement and basically the companies who do that who
join this Agreement will then they couldn't be a local or state government
couldn't say we're not taking a bid from you because you're a part of the BDS
because that would be discrimination yeah and if they happen to be the lowest
bidder but does this happen in any I mean like if I don't take any any
pitches from you know Cameroon does that these are American companies pitching to
American local and state governments yeah so yes if you said I'm not taking
any bids from Cameroon because I don't like Cameroonians
yeah then that would be illegal under the federal statute but if it's like I'm
just not taking any bids because I know it's not worth it for me - oh no bids at
all yeah no we don't have to worry about it the problem though is that often
these companies are the cheapest bid yeah and the state and local governments
were not doing things because they were saying by law we have to take the
cheapest bid we don't want to work with this company that sent part of the BDS
movement right so what do we do well we're not gonna do the project so the
Senate again instead of fixing the shutdown or working on fixing the
shutdown said listen guys it's okay you can in fact discriminate against those
groups and not take their bid take the next lowest bid yeah it's wonderful that
they have all this time to do this yes way better than you know fixing the
government shutdown which is keeping people oh by the way if you're trying to
fly in the next few weeks don't ya TSA is doing a sick-out where
there they can't miss work because they're they're required but they can't
stop him from calling out sick although the FAA isn't checking to make sure that
planes are operational so yeah yeah yeah anyways a chance that your plane might
not be at full health it's over the next couple of weeks
yeah so I would probably avoid flying not a Garrett not a great time at all
another great adventure and we are you do you almost miss the flight because
the TSA line because there's one person who actually showed up I'm not sick
yeah uh we have bigger fish to fry they're also they're scanners aren't
working and they can't tell if like certain things are actually bombs or not
so they can't fix the scanners because that part of the government not funded
right so yeah they can't actually get a repairman in because those guys are not
government workers right and they can't have them come in and pay them and most
people don't work for free so funny how that works on the other side of it if
you ever wanted a cheaper flight in your life it's coming up and I mean maybe if
you're on a different airline New York for twenty dollars how can I turn that
down I'll roll the dice there was a plane that flew halfway to for Hawaii
we'd like the casing of your engine off and it was flaming and they made it
notice leave tell of you and you love him go to sleep on the flight wake up at
LaGuardia the the house is is actually taking on the the shutdown and the
Senate is taking on the BDS bill and the president is taking on the wall you guys
clearly this shutdown is not subtly about the wall yeah I mean like that
that's the only thing that that is keeping Trump from signing then I mean
he's said I'm not signing anything that doesn't have five point seven billion
dollars for the wall by the way to which he's also you know like it it I'm a
little bit tired of all the people I mean if you're a reporter and you want
to say what the fuck's up with the you said Mexico would pay for it part yeah
feel free to go on with that line of how about that but you know when Trump
said he wanted a concrete wall during the campaign and now he's saying metal
fencing they're slats or the steel slide whatever like it's all effectively the
same thing yeah can we not like you're just making yourself look like idiots
kept saying like you Sonny was gonna be a concrete wall and now it's a con
tonight a concrete wall and how about this you said when exit go was gonna pay
for plane yourself like that's the the what them wall is made of hypothetically
is the least concerning part to me I don't give a shit what the walls
pathetically made of I just care about
Mizzou bad wall I would love for Mexico to pay for it I mean like that would be
the best-case version of it I guess yes but anything short of that no I don't
think so by the way I use I don't wanna I don't want a you know we just did a
trade deal and it's gonna make you know that was Trump's logic is we pulled a
new NAFTA yeah and we're gonna make more than the five point seven billion
dollars sound works yeah it's not that my tax money goes to the wall yes
if sure rolls over and Pelosi rolls over which they well then my tax that money
goes to paying the wall and I'm not okay with that and I'm not okay with the idea
of that Ford is gonna make more money in a new trade deal with Mexico yeah as a
reason why I should be okay with it by the way illogical if the trade deal
is how we're paying for it do you know who pays for that tariff sorry I do
sorry who we do yes yeah Mexico so not paying for it you the
consumer or inevitably gonna pay for it yeah because although the Mexican
company yes will pay higher tariffs they're just gonna pass that right along
to you so prices go up so enjoy that dumbass that's not how it works I would
just as a as an exercise I think it would really be funny is to uh just by
like a introduction to business book or let's go to you know buy a college
textbook like take out a second mortgage on your house and buy a college textbook
chair yeah and just start asking Trump about different
like general principles just have a reporter stand up that if you like it
mr. president um what is this and is wait for him to respond what do most
economists think is the best way to handle a bear market when when we are 18
to 24 months off of a bull market and the the interest rates are currently
trading at ba-ba-ba-ba-ba yeah and just like stand there and like look at him
and just wait for him to like buy nobody stop bailing him out when you can ask
your follow-up because he doesn't answer your question yes sit and stare just sit
and stare at him and is everybody in the room just sit and stare or other report
like I get that you're all working for different companies so it's like a
little bit tough to like act like you're all in this together but you're all in
this together so I would love nothing more if like you know Jim Acosta asks a
question and then Trump doesn't answer it screw you next up Fox and you know
Tucker Carlson stands up whoever the Fox person is yeah till like eventually it's
just calling up Breitbart until he storms out that's what happens like
three or four times in all right right part Trump you're so amazing can you how
do you stay so amazing anyway so do you guys know that he's 70 years old
I'm 55 and I look like shit I'm 35 I feel like okay so uh well how
we got on this is that the president is going to be having an address generation
yeah and there was some debate today about whether or not the news network
should give him air time you know I'll let you start should they give the
president air time yeah yeah yeah he's this is the argument I didn't get to
make outside to you is you know that they denied Obama air time in 2014 and
you know what the topic of his talk was what immigration and you know why no
because both NBC and AV he said we believe that this topic will
be too partisan and we are not going to give you the time okay
so what is Trump speaking about tomorrow the the emergency that he's gonna cook
up for okay why using the military fund his wall
generally speaking yeah more specifically uh there's been some wild
wild speculation that may not be as so wild that he's going to declare state of
emergency which by the way is the reason openly talked about yes yes we search
scary easy to do yeah scary easy for the president just be like oh you know what
national emergency habeas corpus suspended martial law in effect but
basically what he's gonna do is he has the right to spend a certain amount of
the military budget as he sees fit so he's going to declare state of emergency
and then use the military budget and soldiers to like the Army Corps of
Engineers yeah to build the wall yeah which he won't be able to do because
they'll tie it up there'll be a lawsuit there will be a lawsuit before he the
ink is dry on but do you know what happens though that the important thing
is some judge in San Francisco staying up late to okay the thing is that he
will say well the courts the courts blocked me yeah and he'll end the
shutdown yeah he'll say I tried it this way the courts blocked me we're gonna
end the shutdown and he'll blame the courts or he or he'll say I won I'm
getting the money it's just a matter of getting through the courts yes most
people don't know I do business all the time I see this it's always an
impediment you know like before I actually build a building there's seven
years of lawsuits and eventually it gets built but you know we're there where
there's a terrorist attack you can blame Mexico for it because of what happened
right here yep up in the court system but but you're right and he can say
let's end the shutdown because I'm gonna get it eventually
yeah even if he knows he's never gonna get it never get it yeah and the ribs
and boobs in flyover country well believe it the amount of people I see
defending this nonsense here's ridiculous here's the here's the the
number one problem is that you're you're hoping that the
Republicans hold on long enough to to get some sort of victory out of this
which I don't think the Democrats are in the position to do yeah I mean Pelosi is
starting tomorrow just going to bring up individual items of things to fund so
like you know like the RS is tomorrow or something like that so they're just
gonna have a vote on like individual brief parts of the government yes yeah
you know what this is not bad let's fund this we probably should allow people to
get their tax returns yes we won't allow the our well how can you have the IRS
with the Department of Homeland Security insist like well you know this whole
thing is about the security of the country so we should probably should
have DHS PS by the way there's no meat inspector should we should we get the
the Food and Drug Administration alright fine the FDA can come to Alexandria
Ocasio Cortez yes I've been a supporter of yours I have been on board with you
you're about to lose me don't run on being different and don't run on never
never voting for funding for ice and then vote for DHS funding cuz you know
where Isis we're are gonna phone win security yes no and when you vote to
approve their budget you're approving a nice budget and then go on Twitter and
say oh I mean it should probably be reduced but the way they presented the
budget now actually Isis budget is going down and dho no no you voted yes you
didn't do straight party-line vote you could have voted no and it still
would have passed yeah by the way this is gonna be the best time to like
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez because it's before she starts disappointing you I
mean it's not it at some point she's gonna vote for something then is gonna
drive everyone fucking crazy and then they're gonna be like were was no see on
this nonsense you know I was at 100 and then this vote took me down to 25 and
then I saw a really cute video of her dancing that took me back up to 70 so
we're now we're flowed between 50 inside right now I love that video yeah
Republicans releasing that I I'm so thoroughly convinced that somebody in
her office basically just knows somebody who writes up like Republican think
tanks and was just like oh my god you got to see this video fuckin Alexandra
hates the shoes she she finds out that this internet this video that was on
YouTube for all these years is big again she is going to go crazy and then it
gets out there and everyone's just like oh look at 21 year old beautiful
Alexandria Cortez dancing on a rooftop yeah now there's nothing bad about that
video I've seen it trust me and uh what was I gonna say her bartending picture
came out of her bartending yeah as she was running a political campaign and
using yeah alcohol is legal and I needed to work
not all of us have silver spoon yeah just basically not work made me love her
more but uh her voguing is probably gonna break my heart and sell that's
unfortunate um and she's pitching the seventy percent tax on over ten million
yeah which is going to you know what I may not necessarily agree with all the
details even though there's not really many details other than seventy percent
over ten million to speak of right now and you know I'm fine with you know a
tax on the rich going to towards you know green policies because I think it's
humanly possible the one thing I do like about what she did is unlike Democrats
of well I think we talked about this before where like traditionally if
Pelosi was just like alright we want a fifty percent tax yeah on on ten million
dollars are over to pay for all the things that we want to do but we're not
gonna get fifty percent we're only gonna get forty percent maybe so we should
start at sixty because that'll give it you know that yeah we shouldn't go high
because they're just gonna laugh at us yeah we should start lower in a more
reasonable number so that we can work towards eventually getting forty five
yeah and okay Casio Cortez is just like hey
70% tax fuck everybody yeah okay playing games
says 70 and then any of you says you know we could go to 90 it was 90 for a
while most prosperous time in our history right it was 90
so 17 done son so bad does it guys how about that yeah I mean I'll give it to
my like her spunk I just don't think that I think she's gonna break my heart
just like every other woman yeah every other woman in my life has so but back
to the Trump back to Trump real quick mmm don't let him call you fake news
don't let him talk about how you are destroying democracy and then give him a
place to speak that's bullshit and you're all scared and we are a country
of a bunch of pussies and you need to bunk up a little bit for Christ's sake
I think that uh two ideas one that I saw in a tweet that I think you shared which
I really enjoyed was uh they should tape delay it yeah basically just run it five
minutes after he actually doesn't and then live live live like as it's running
right back checking yeah you know cuz he's gonna say something about 4000
terrorists who come across the Mexican border we have acted zero zero or a
thousand that 4,000 is terrorists who've tried to get into the country by all
means yes and they're just lumping terrorists very loose yeah it means
somebody who's on the list yeah Rob yeah Mexico that I mean 4001 I was about one
of the first ones of the year because I'm on those lists just so you know but
and don't give him a platform for this nonsense with the with the wall that's
all I'm saying is it's a we all know it's bullshit don't give him the
platform I don't care these present United States
you if there was no precedent I might be a little more like it's like Trump and I
don't want I mean basically how how I feel is that generally speaking as a
rule I feel like if the president says that he has an emergency that he needs
to get out to the American people which is how Trump is relaying
yes message right now even if we know that what he's gonna talk about is a
fake emergency at the border yeah he he he's he's saying - you know this is the
to a degree it's a boy who cried wolf situation and you have to let the boy
cry wolf once before the story takes effect no he's I get what you're saying
but I'm saying like as far as they as far as a normal course of action I say
that if the president says he has an emergency that he needs to get out to
the American people you have to just let it happen another idea that I just said
here is just have all your figurehead news anchors on standby just you know
like Trump starts at nine o'clock Eastern have Lester Holt sitting in a
chair yeah an NBC at nine o'clock and just waitin and then the second that
Trump says something that is outrageously unfaltering anything like
that kinda way I hide the feed go to Lester Holt he says we can't let the
stand yeah we the word if you want to see full coverage of what Trump is
saying you can go on to MSNBC right now but we on NBC the the one that is
reached by hundreds of millions of people and we will not allow this to
continue - honestly that probably sends a better message of my plan not doing it
at all is the - yanking it away from two and a half seconds in yeah - five
seconds in when he tells his first law you to say up we will not allow blatant
falsehoods to be put out on the airwaves yeah so we're taking away so we will not
we will not have news on the screen while Trump is saying nonsense yes not
says news in the corner and that used to mean something we want it to mean
self-right so I mean you know if they all want to they all want to do that and
get ready to pull and we can do a a check tomorrow of what what news
agencies polled first and stuff like that that's fine with me - I mean
honestly let's hope you the ends of like the election where everyone's trying to
be first to call they're just like oh wait do we go first do we go first
AM CNN my fellow Americans Russia oh yes yeah we left there hold needs
this like hey 30 seconds in two three seconds in note by the way just if
anybody's wondering the Mueller investigation
yeah Muller investigation now yeah Ramallah investigation outside of the
shutdown everyone they're still working still getting paid because it's a
special congressional yeah so basically how it worked is last year they cut them
a check for everything they were gonna need for all basically he said I asked
him eight it's gonna be this much budget by which they're working off of and that
budget is already in the bank and being used to if you listen to last week's
episode much like the Smithsonian who had their yearly budget and therefore
was open until the end of the year mmm-hmm Muller has a better budget yeah
better bunch of the Smithsonian yes
probably so I do want to talk about one more lawyers are expensive
lawyers are expensive I would talk about one more thing before we get out of here
and of course that's gonna require that we head on down to the Baltimore corner
where you get the straight dope right so we would be remiss if we didn't talk
about it it's been in a tweet storm not a non Trump please storm but something
we talked about maybe a few weeks ago Fitzgerald is out oh no yes wait when
did this happen just today just t-shirts made welcome
welcome to Baltimore and you know all the things are just on tape so I can
take the mob and replace it with a new name and right right yeah that's like I
feel like was a team that's gerald any honestly you might as well make
Barksdale cuz I feel like they were gonna set him here to take up anyway
maybe we just get him now get him as commissioner instead mmm-hmm I think
it'd be a big jump for him cuz he was just like a captain or something before
but I think he's a little too mouthy for for like it oh I know but I'm saying
like I don't think Pew likes that oh I don't think she wants somebody who's
gonna talk back but so uh and we shouldn't make light of this I don't
know how true it is it's true yeah son is having a second emergency brain
surgery it seems so convenient the timing just
seems very convenient I get it I I'm not listen I don't know they have
its Gerald other than the things that I read and I could say you know much like
Marty morning wag is not fit to be an offensive coordinator in the NFL yeah I
can call call things as I see them on these sort of things but it's not like
I'm you know like obviously I have a long history of saying marty morning
wake should be stabbed and bled up yes but that's really is the character of
Monday morning like not the actual person himself the the coach who I
despise no man that's like much like we've discussed like the logic behind
like a hatred of baseball players like I hate Derek Jeter yeah
like when he's on that field there's nobody I hate more when they when it's a
talking about like you know like the Yankees and everything like that see
Jeter stupid fucking face and I get angry but if I was at a party in New
York and then Jeter walked up and he's like hey how's it going I'd be like
you're a fake you are a fake motherfucker that's it it is peach this
motherfucker no I mean like you know if you're Michael Vick or something like
that there's there's obviously difference between Michael Vick now and
Michael Vick then wow I mean Michael Vick probably heat of dogfighting yeah
Michael Vick okay fair enough arrested Michael Vick nonetheless so apparently
the story according to Corey the story's accurate which I had not heard but
Fitzgerald's sign had emergency surgery and now he's going in for a second
emergency surgery there was a to put it put that into context just to make it so
it doesn't seem like we were downing the surgery yeah when when he Fitzgerald was
supposed to sit in from the council and they were gonna do the open open doors
where people say whether or not they approve or disapprove of Fitzgerald has
just got more Police Department yeah comment in comment period yeah and the
night before that was due to happen he left town and said he an emergency yeah
and there wasn't any information for the entire weekend about what the emergency
was just that he had an emergency and at
that point seemed like nobody when nobody knew anything it seemed like oh
he has an emergency right but it does in fact seem like he his son is having some
legitimate legitimate like yeah but you know possibly you know fatal surgery
they could be the question though is if things were going well for him in this
job interview would he have backed out or would he
have kept on I mean this again just based off of what little information I
have yeah I would I would tend to think that he probably doesn't want to make
any kind of moves of his son's health is in questions and he probably would have
even if everyone was like welcoming in with him I mean he broadly would be
Commissioner if people were like super happy to have him coming down it
wouldn't have taken so long because also here yeah and some of the best
children's hospitals in the world mm-hmm see what I'm saying like I would
understand why you wouldn't want to move if you're having a family emergency with
health implications especially like you know you probably don't want to lose or
have any kind of problem with your health insurance yeah
switching doctors are switching anything like that if your be far away from your
kid if it's just you going so be that as it may
he's now withdrawn his name which means we are back to square one where Kevin
Rubio is in a shady room right now looking at the options of for people who
everyone hates yes trying to decide which one to go with but he go and the
whole thing God knows she's not going to take any of the comments from the
comment period and use that as guidance to say you know maybe just maybe I
shouldn't do this secretively maybe I should listen to what the people said
and you know have an open in public conversation how about this how about
just like early on the presidential race yeah before you have all the people like
all the defined candidates and stuff like that a lot of polling places will
just say who do you intend to vote for if they decide to run yeah and that
opens it up to literally anyone who could possibly be present yeah
they would probably take votes like if somebody made that call right now they
would probably take votes for Alexandria cause they're Cortez even though she's
not legally able to run for it she's not old enough to be the United States but
I'm saying like by the way there would probably be people who say that they
want to vote for her yeah and they would put that as an
answer on the thing even though they aren't eligible to be President yeah
with Schwarzenegger a couple years ago after that yeah because they put it but
he's a foreign-born person so he's not right well or Ted Cruz I mean who yes
but the I think it would be interesting if you just had a basic nomination
period where anybody and everyone can nominate somebody to be Baltimore police
commissioner and you know obviously a lot of them are just gonna be stupid
like we can't make your uncle Rick yes yes two years on the force be police
commissioner I mean you might do a good really great guy sure he doesn't get in
any kind of trouble and he doesn't shoot anybody but just not enough experience
to be police commissioner what's the saying if you if you just take a take a
week and say we're we're accepting all nominations for people who would either
like to nominate themselves or nominate somebody else as somebody that we should
examine and then you have a list of thousand names yeah that are all
available in the Internet and people could look at them all they want well
and then just start working down the list and you know obviously you're
probably gonna do a system where you pair out people immediately like Oh
Rajee can be police commissioner good I could
yeah but they wouldn't allow you to the FOP would go on strike immediately they
wouldn't have to know because I'd fire everybody so but no I yeah okay we're
starting a new union Oakland did this though they said we are gonna put a Blue
Ribbon Commission together and they're gonna pick one and we're gonna let
public submission pick four and then we're gonna pair down I think they said
they got like 200 submissions and they pared it down to four mm-hm most of them
were like you know Huey Newton uh dead also
black panther so probably not yeah dead being the more important part of that
but probably wouldn't take a job on a police force even if you offered it to
yeah yeah yeah remember less so they paired it down a pair to down paired
down it so they had four who a guy who didn't make the shortlist is what's his
name foreign Baltimore cop who's wrong Rogan
occasionally oh god yeah although maybe ironically I'm not like a huge support
of his as much as I used to be but he might be a good name for the for the
Baltimore City badge I mean experience with the department
that's that's a benefit I don't know if you know part of the problem with being
a police commissioner and it it seems like I'm going back to this touch tone a
lot during this episode but there's almost a different skill set than being
a police officer yeah so you have to be a police officer
officer most of the time to end up being police commissioner because they want to
see you've done 20 years on the force yeah somewhere and that you've worked
your way up the ranks and you know even if you're not a commissioner at another
city you're you know like the second or third in command and they're you know
like commanding command right but the the skill set that it takes to be the
executive of the police department is different then yeah the skills it takes
to be a cop keep talking I'm trying I was I've been like pairing my brain for
a minute there though you're talking about a Anthony batts because I think he
was Oakland Police Commissioner for a while there - Michael Oh Michael what
Michael a boy Michael would yeah yeah so I don't know that he's uh he's a
horrible choice yes he is a cop I do feel like he's got he's better at the
executive stuff than he would have been at the policing but he's also like
police friendly cuz he's like hey it's not all your guy's fault
we need to prune the tree and get the bad apples out of it you know I was
thinking about it like this like why didn't the the I was thinking about a
good analogy for like the police department recently here and it was
imagine that we have a like a decorative plate with money on it okay that's just
like sitting on the and the table right by the door right
and we people come into our place all the time and we trust people that won't
take the money yes that's laying there yeah and of the
people that we trust the most like the cops who would expect to never take the
money because that there they took a job where they responses they're responsible
for that sort of thing yeah they would probably be one of the people who would
take the money the most yes and that basic violation of trust is the problem
and I the idea of they're not all bad or they're not all you know like my my
cousin is a police officer and he's not one of the problem please and it's like
the fact that so many cops have taken the money makes me skeptical of cops
taking the money yeah so it's not it's not about whether or not your cousin is
a good guy or anything like that it's about every cop who walks in here take
some money yep and I can trust if 90% of them do it I can't trust the other 10%
but again Michael a wood fired from the department and then branded a rat for
speaking out about the dirty shit that happened yeah may be a good choice and
turns out much worse than he ever talked about yes yeah yeah oh yeah good choice
that's for school after that so I think also Barksdale from what I've heard I
don't remember his time there I feel like I should have cuz we were living in
the city when he was working there but hmm everything I've heard from him
though seems like a good choice yeah yeah Barksdale seems like a positive
choice so I think I would worry though something something that I mean
Fitzgerald gonna do this we talked about the tweets from Ryan Dorsey last week
yeah or the week before I don't remember
which where he was basically saying that it all the answers that he got from
Fitzgerald when they went down to went down to Fort Worth were not what they
were hoping for in terms of the leader of the Baltimore Police Department going
forward and I I think we should worry about people who I mean the the concern
I have with Barksdale is that he might say things out in public that make the
public think that they're on he's on their side and then he's gonna say
things to the troops behind the like once the the door closes and were
it's just us boys here yeah just as boys so now that we've got no the media is
not here let's talk about all the things we're gonna do to black people yeah the
other black people yeah you know the undesirable ones yeah so I guess we'll
see and the next few weeks will be telling I have a feeling that he was
just gonna do the same thing she did last time like you said it in a meeting
our room and just pick somebody which I feel like she's gonna do it real quick -
yeah I feel like Monday we're gonna hear a name that we've never heard before
and she's gonna be like after a thorough investigation and vetting process this
is an entire weekend on LinkedIn yes why not an entire you know I had other
things to do I have my crochet I gotta get into but you know I'd looked on
LinkedIn I spent a sizable 45 minutes to an hour on LinkedIn looking for possible
police commissioner's this is the guy this is the guy who's gonna save this
city this guy Randy smiley is going to be the
new police commissioner Randolph not Randy doesn't go by Randy
the long list of police departments that he has said interactions with or it just
turns out to be a drug Camden he is a bit arrested by New York been arrested
by Miami been arrested by LAPD he's been expensive many many police departments
have good positive references for he has I'm not even gonna lie 15 different
agencies under his belt yeah it's an incredible number yeah oh yeah oh yeah
so we'll see and we'll keep you guys posted over the next few weeks
there's no gonna be new sports news out of Baltimore because again the Capitals
don't count so we'll keep you posted on the Baltimore corner and the develop you
don't counter yes well anyway you get the straight dude I thought that I
thought that that that to tell ya I lightning round things real quick I just
want thoughts yes the first major potential presidential
nominee has gangster kandacy don't do it Elizabeth Warren now do you have a do
you have a take on Elizabeth Warren as a potential Democratic nominee the
president don't do it I mean listen leg I don't know who is going to win it
ain't gonna be Elizabeth Warren not that I don't think she would be a good
president not that I don't think she'd be a good executive in general I like
her ideas I like honestly I wanted to stay in the Senate so we can get that a
student loan thing passed and done I mean less you could do that by executive
order but I also don't want to lose in 2020 because I want this national
nightmare to be over and Warren ain't the one I mean who is the one though
that's the problem we need to find like III I can understand your logic that
that Warren isn't the one that gets you energized and excited to go vote for
Democrats and twenty to one I don't care about that what I'm saying I don't know
you're getting confused because Democrats are gonna vote for Democrat no
matter what we are all all leftists are tired of that so the people who do vote
are gonna vote for it well we need though is a gilchrist we need a guy who
appear appeals not just to Democrats who are gonna vote for whatever Democrat we
put up there God knows we showed that so big I know it can't be beta what can it
be baby it just can't be beta I don't I don't think he has appeal amongst
Republicans but we need somebody like baito
I in saying I enjoy that a martin o'malley decided to get out ahead of it
by the way and say he's not running in 2020 and that he's endorsing bado before
beta even enough here's the ironic thing you need a Martin O'Malley
we don't need martin O'Malley you need a Martin O'Malley
we need somebody who look who has a pedigree standing up on that stage to be
mopped up by other people yes yeah a guy who was walking through West Baltimore
and Montgomery County and was comfortable in both places mm-hmm
we need a guy who can go to South Mississippi I've been so Freddie gray oh
yeah walk in this came home early from his trip to Ireland walking the streets
I'm not good Guinea's press coverage cut out every 30 seconds next to the catch
me on my Twitter feed some of the best videos you see where he can't even talk
just cuz people she's cursing in the background of his video
I was watching the video of Garcetti - at some speaking to the public offense
and people just started like screaming at him and he's just like you know I
can't if you don't give me an opportunity to speak then I'm not gonna
be able to speak to these issues and just people are doing so we need a
martin O'Malley type we need a baito type and not baito I mean Garcetti seems
like a Martin O'Malley guy he is but I just don't like just not enough not
enough credentials like here's where uh here's where I stand I have started
following the mayor of South Bend Indiana oh god I know who that is - God
what is his name her name puga lead on down or something yeah it's I don't
can't remember and did the last names gonna be a hindrance to him because he's
actually just like when the roof is your vintage I can't even do it you read new
yes to read that's gonna be a problem when you can't pronounce the name of the
care the candidate is usually a bad but start he is a moderate Blue Dog Democrat
who is liberal in all the ways I like to see I mean I'm not gonna vote either way
so it doesn't matter but liberal and all the ways I like to see but like
conservative in the ways that will attract moderate Republicans not even
modern Republic's Republicans who are like no more none of this you're not
doing this anymore I'm not voting for another Trump and he'll get those guys
that's who we need and you could follow just check out my tweets I've retweeted
him a couple times and I read I tweeted earlier this week with a thinking emoji
mm-hmm after I reviewed his timeline I was like this guy is uh he's alright
he's alright but again the last name that I can't
remember nor pronounce if I could remember it yeah is gonna be a detriment
and the fact that he's the mayor of South Bend and in two years is expected
for the White House a pretty big jump probably be he too big of a jump maybe
you want to spend a couple years building up your social media team and
oh no he's got a really he's got like a fire team Oh does it yeah it's worth for
what it's worth like he's apparently more
popular and well-known didn't like the mayor of Chicago hmm rom immanuel
immanuel yes yeah maybe not more well known because Rahm was with the Obama
White House but mother of Ari Emanuel we Co can you is that true yeah you really
didn't know I didn't know that how would you think we've talked about that how
would you like to be another another sibling in the Emanuel family by the way
yeah here's my son Rahm he's mayor of Chicago here's my son Ari he's the
biggest agent Hollywood has ever seen and here's Jerry he works at the DGI
Fridays at TGA from I count the money they trust me
um this is the general manager thank you very much
I feel like this what we should do how about this let's go let's set ourselves
a goal for two weeks from now okay let's come back with some options on 250 250
episode 250 yes on episode 250 yes I was there two fifty which will be the first
one did you think I was asking for 250 ah yeah it's way too fucking deep of a
Benjamin hey there's one guy running I don't know why we need 198 Carl Douglas
he was on the oj defense be enough I'm really really trying here now ok so
absolute 250 let's come back with options ok hopefully the shutdown will
well I hope for the sake of the people who are involved yeah a shutdown will be
over yeah I hope for the Trump administration the shutdown is still
going strong does this is gonna be an abomination
second history it's gonna be it's gonna be a race to the finish
you know you know when it's gonna end right before people start blaming Mitch
McConnell Mitch McConnell yeah oh yeah cuz he's gonna be let's wrap this shit
Oh Donald as soon as people are just going like you know whose fault it
really is Mitch McConnell for not calling a vote I mean they had a hundred
and hundred and nothing vote the other day they could override his veto yeah
it's not like you can want to be able to find Republicans in the house to be able
to give you the two thirds all the Democrats will be involved it's just
like as soon as that message starts getting out more than
whatever Trump says about the wall and its 24-hour coverage of people going
like I know whose fault this really is as McConnell's that's when Mitch picks
up the phone he's is like I were doing a vote right now yeah now anything that I
am not having this should happen on on MSNBC on my watch so uh by the way I did
the research and about what happened and I was trying to figure out what happened
so the house sent the Senate a bill right the Senate voted on that bill 100
to 1 and sent it back to the house yeah because it wasn't quite the same bill
that the house sent them there were several amendments which is what happens
and right before they went in conference about that bill the Republicans in the
House passed a second bill that was similar to the first one but included
the wall and the Senate Democrat said this is a non-starter if you're bringing
that to our conference we're not even going to talk about it yeah so we know
that something got passed it never got vetoed by Trump and this is the CR that
was the yes yeah but the important thing is it never
got vetoed because if they do vote and they do send it to trump any vetoes it
then they can override the veto with 66 and it becomes law anyway McConnell is
Trump is to blame but McConnell is deeply involved in that blame as well
yeah because all he's got to do is send them a bill all I'm saying is people the
way these things work is somebody gets blamed up front yeah and then the longer
goes on ancillary people get inflamed and then I get shift yeah and at the
moment that it seems like the wind is blowing from Trump to McConnell is as
soon as the second you're gonna hear a vote yeah well then there's a CR to
continue the government for three months while we discuss possibilities for very
effectively and I think it's shorter weeks something tells me that they want
to take this can like they don't want to have like a three week or one month
because if they do that then there's still gonna be coverage of people if
it's three months then you get the three days story of here's the thing of
shutdowns over who's who's to blame and then people forget that three months
from now we have to do this all over yeah they'll do short period to be three
weeks because you know what happens at the end of those three weeks they will
send him another bill or they'll bring it up and he'll say no I told you where
I stand no wall no sign and then McConnell can push it back over
to him and get what he really wants which is a government doesn't work yeah
McConnell's goal is to spend the next two years with the Democratic House just
not doing anything yeah that would be the best-case scenario from McConnell as
long as it doesn't involve it look bad on him hurt him politically at all then
he'll do whatever he can to keep the government that he's a gonna shit yeah I
don't care if your kids eat beans because or don't eat at all yeah who's
their house women like the beans on the toothpicks like oh yeah over top of a
fire in an oil can you know he does not give a shit at all
his millions are still safe anyway morning in America it's morning in
