1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,500
Oh, yes.

2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:28,240
Thanks for joining us.

3
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,480
It was 8 o'clock when I started that music.

4
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,680
I promise.

5
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:32,440
It was.

6
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,880
It was 8 o'clock when I started it.

7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Make sure we have the chat going.

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,720
Good.

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,320
People see me?

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,080
People see the chat?

11
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,560
I want to make sure the chat's up,

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,560
because that makes it a lot more fun for me.

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,960
Hope everybody is doing great.

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,480
Just getting the chat up here real quick,

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,200
and then we will get things going.

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,960
As it is a Monday morning, and we're

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,000
going to have a great time, had by all,

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,520
as I enjoyed the weekend.

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Hope you did great as well.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,240
And I think we have the chat.

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:13,600
There we go.

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,480
There's live chat.

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,440
That's what I need right there.

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,160
There we go.

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,760
We good.

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,280
We good.

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:17,760
We good.

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,240
Good.

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,280
I'm glad everybody can hear.

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,480
Glad everybody can see.

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,320
Happy Monday.

32
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:22,800
Hope you are doing tremendous.

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,480
I have a lot to get to.

34
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,920
We always start with some social media stuff and an update

35
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,000
and all those kind of things.

36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,880
But thank you, thank you, thank you.

37
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,680
Always the first thing that we do here.

38
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,120
John Lund Unleashed podcast, YouTube channel,

39
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,000
all sorts of social media stuff.

40
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,640
By the way, I joined everything.

41
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,160
And we're going to get fast to sports,

42
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,480
because you don't want to mess with this stuff.

43
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,240
But as you can see right there, I've

44
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,000
joined about every social media you can.

45
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,360
And so I'm on just about everything.

46
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,960
If you go to at John Lund radio, it's the best way

47
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,680
to get to me.

48
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,560
And less like I said, to the police of the IRS.

49
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,640
But YouTube, podcast channel, Blue Sky now,

50
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,240
already on Twitter, Facebook.

51
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,800
I relented.

52
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Hadn't been on Facebook in years.

53
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Instagram, threads, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

54
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,240
So I'm on all those things.

55
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Any of those places you want to hang out and see,

56
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,920
I'll post a bunch of stuff on there.

57
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,640
But first and foremost, just really

58
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:15,720
appreciate you hanging out.

59
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,520
Especially on a Monday, we have an absolute boatload

60
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,480
of things to get after.

61
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,680
And I got some great stories from not only over the weekend,

62
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,800
but the middle of the night, and people were hitting me up

63
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,320
and everything.

64
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,200
And we just had a great time.

65
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,200
If you came in on Saturday night when Willie Adam is signed,

66
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,520
we did a live chat on Saturday night.

67
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Right when I heard it, I'm watching college football.

68
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,680
And my wife is sick of sports all day.

69
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440
And she goes, can we just hang out for a minute,

70
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,720
no college football?

71
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,120
Because it started with Arizona State,

72
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,080
and I was stayed at nine.

73
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760
And I just watched everything throughout Georgia and Texas.

74
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,120
And everything laid into the night.

75
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,640
And SMU gets in over Alabama.

76
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:54,920
And I'm not meaning to lead the show with college football,

77
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,480
because people are like, bro, it's the Bay Area.

78
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,400
But it was really cool.

79
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,320
And then all of a sudden, I get hit

80
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,040
like everybody does in the phone.

81
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,240
And it's like, Willie Adam is going to sign.

82
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,000
And it's like, I looked at it and went, sorry.

83
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,640
It's like, yeah, I don't want to hang around you anymore.

84
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:08,680
Anyway, go do it.

85
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,280
So for two hours, we hung out.

86
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,960
And we hung out for two hours.

87
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,000
And we talked about Adam is signing.

88
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,360
And I got more on that because it won.

89
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,360
Soto is signed.

90
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,840
And we just got, I mean, we got so much cool stuff going on.

91
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,840
So I'll hit up the chat.

92
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,080
But I just want to let you know, today, update.

93
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,320
You see, on the chalkboard there,

94
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,760
if you're new to the show, the YouTube show,

95
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,640
make sure you subscribe and tell all your friends

96
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,000
and hit me up on social media and all those kind of stuff.

97
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Just because I end the show, and we'll go long today,

98
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,960
as long as you want.

99
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880
I feel great on a Monday.

100
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,880
We'll go as long as you want.

101
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,040
But I'm doing stuff during the day, too.

102
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,080
I like to post stuff if you hit me up during the day.

103
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,320
I'll try to get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

104
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,320
So just a lot of great stuff going on, not only with this show,

105
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,280
but you're going to be a benefactor of a lot of cool stuff

106
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,880
and a lot of us coming together.

107
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,760
And it's going to be a heck of a lot of fun.

108
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,920
But anyway, on the chalkboard today, update.

109
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Social media I just showed you.

110
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,080
The 49ers stars.

111
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,720
They didn't get any help on Sunday, though.

112
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Seattle ended up winning in Arizona.

113
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,240
The Rams in that wild game against Buffalo,

114
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,480
so they didn't get any help.

115
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,120
So we're going to have to, after we praise the 49ers,

116
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,240
which we should do, then we're going to have to sit back

117
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,800
and look at the reality of the situation.

118
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,840
My viewpoint has not changed on this year for the 49ers,

119
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:25,240
but next year I still think they're

120
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,040
going to be a factor as a grandeur at a nice game as well.

121
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,280
That class that John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan

122
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,960
and all the powers that be, the 49ers, tremendous job.

123
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,000
So you got that going on.

124
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,120
So we'll praise the 49ers as we should,

125
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,960
but we'll look at reality, which is not great.

126
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,320
The big story nationally, as you all know,

127
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,840
Juan Soto goes to the Mets, and I got a great video

128
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,640
that you can't miss of this guy going nuts.

129
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480
And I want to kind of go off on a little bit of a tangent.

130
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Nobody deserves you.

131
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,280
They don't owe you anything.

132
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,000
They go signed.

133
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320
It's like, me or you, we go out to a job.

134
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,360
We get a better opportunity or a better offer,

135
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,000
or whatever the case may be.

136
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,800
There's no loyalty anywhere.

137
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,600
I'm case 1A.

138
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,680
I mean, the reality is Juan Soto went and did

139
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,720
what he thinks is best.

140
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Yankees fans think they're the greatest ever.

141
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,040
I know that Pop was saying when judge signed,

142
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,720
it's the power of the pinstripes.

143
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,120
It's like, sign wherever you want.

144
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,560
I think as much money as you want.

145
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,320
I don't really care about the money aspect.

146
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,320
We're going to get into Juan Soto.

147
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,520
We'll do a ton of that.

148
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,720
The main thing is that you want to talk about is,

149
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,240
obviously, Willie Adamus.

150
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,560
To me, that's the huge story is the winter meeting start.

151
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,080
We'll get some guests this week from the winter meetings.

152
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,240
But real quick, and then we'll get real deep

153
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,280
into this whole thing.

154
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,560
For Buster Posey to not, this is the biggest thing to me.

155
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,640
And you heard me say this on Saturday night.

156
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,640
For Buster Posey to not get enamored with the pretty blonde

157
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,480
girl that he can't obtain, like I used to do early in my life.

158
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,920
I think I can get the beauty queen.

159
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,400
No, you cannot.

160
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,880
You cannot.

161
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,240
Look at me.

162
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,640
I can't get the beauty queen.

163
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,400
Maybe you can.

164
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,840
I cannot.

165
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,320
So don't even go over there.

166
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,760
Don't go over to that side of the room.

167
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,080
Don't go to that side of the bar.

168
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Don't go over that side of the dance, whatever it is.

169
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Just get what you can get.

170
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,280
And so today, Willie Adamus is not

171
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:12,120
a giant if Buster Posey waits to today.

172
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,800
Farhan's like, I did some fancy football.

173
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,120
I got some stuff I got to do.

174
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,440
I'll get to Willie Adamus.

175
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,280
He would never be a giant.

176
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:21,280
Because the Yankees would have pivoted, the Dodgers

177
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:25,080
would have pivoted, and the major market teams would have pivoted.

178
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,880
And Buster Posey gave his love.

179
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,360
I'm told, just went right to Willie Adamus and said,

180
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,680
we want you.

181
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,920
You're our guy.

182
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,440
You're not a backup plan.

183
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,680
Like the Dodgers, you're not a backup plan like the Yankees.

184
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,040
You're not a backup plan like the Mets.

185
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,920
You're not the backup plan like the Red Sox.

186
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,280
Those teams who are in on Wadsotto,

187
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:43,360
they don't get Willie Adamus.

188
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Because Buster Posey said, I'm going after that guy.

189
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Because when everybody else pivots,

190
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,920
he's going to be the number one free agent on the market.

191
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,360
And I'm going to get him first.

192
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,080
Brilliant.

193
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,280
So we'll get more into that situation.

194
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:56,760
And now, Smart, that was more on the winter meetings.

195
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,720
And we have a caboose pistol today that I know this guy is

196
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,360
well-known on the internet.

197
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560
But I just want to highlight it because it's so funny.

198
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,880
So we got a great show.

199
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,680
Hit me up right there, as a lot of people

200
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,280
are doing in the chat.

201
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:10,280
I just love it.

202
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,280
And also at John Lund Radio on Twitter.

203
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,920
That's the best place to get me.

204
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,600
That's what I have in front of me right now.

205
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,320
So during the show, if you hit me up,

206
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,760
I'll be able to respond to that.

207
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,160
So anything else I'm missing?

208
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,080
I think I got it.

209
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,720
By the way, one thing that somebody's

210
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,160
bringing up in the chat room right now,

211
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,040
is this good as far as time for you?

212
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,920
Is 8 AM good?

213
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,760
I like it because I like to get up early anyway.

214
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,080
And I like to hit you in the morning.

215
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,280
And then you can rig it so your car can get YouTube as well.

216
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,400
And we'll make it shortly how you can get it live.

217
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,320
That's one of the problems with podcasting is.

218
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:43,800
It's taped.

219
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,600
And then you throw it back.

220
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,640
And look, I'm going to put this on a podcast.

221
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,360
And you can listen to it throughout the day.

222
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,720
So I just want to make sure that 8 AM is a good time for you.

223
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Because I'll put this back out and everything.

224
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,560
But a big part of this game, YouTube, podcasts,

225
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,120
all these kind of things, is making sure

226
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040
that enough people or most people, or as many people

227
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120
as possible, can listen, watch, so forth.

228
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,360
So I'd love to get some feedback on that at John Lund Radio.

229
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,680
If this time works for you, if this is good,

230
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,760
you're in the chat now.

231
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,200
And so it might be good for you.

232
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,480
But I hope it is.

233
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,680
But anyway, good to see Taki.

234
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,920
True Blue Forever.

235
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Kyle, thanks for coming in here.

236
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,560
Like and subscribe.

237
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,440
Yeah, I'm almost to 1,000.

238
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,520
This is my fifth show.

239
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,360
So I think that's a pretty decent pace.

240
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,040
I don't know.

241
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,280
I don't know anything about this stuff.

242
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,440
But it looks like it.

243
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Let's see what else do we got.

244
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Anyway, I'm early for tomorrow.

245
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Marco, good to see you again.

246
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,040
A bunch of people in the room today.

247
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,600
If you're brand new, say hello to me.

248
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,520
Crews75, good to see you again.

249
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,640
So everybody for coming in.

250
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,600
Thank you so much for coming in.

251
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,520
And let's get moving.

252
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Let's get moving because you're like, dude,

253
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,240
you've talked enough.

254
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,120
Now let's get to some things.

255
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,320
So one other quick thing, just one other quick thing,

256
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,560
I wanted to bring up.

257
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,720
These kind of things make my day.

258
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,680
You don't have to do it.

259
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,200
It's just it was the middle of the night.

260
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,200
So what happened was I was watching Chargers Chiefs.

261
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:03,800
I conk out.

262
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,040
I wake up like 1 in the morning.

263
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,360
Like I got a bunch of stuff to get ready for tomorrow's show.

264
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,160
So I come into the studio.

265
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,440
And I work for two or three hours.

266
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,800
It's 3, 4 o'clock in the morning.

267
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240
And then this dude sends me a note that says, hey,

268
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,400
I love that I get to hear you.

269
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,080
You've provided me with countless laughs over the years.

270
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Thank you, GL.

271
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,200
I truly appreciate it, big dog.

272
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,680
I mean, I can't tell you how much that means to me

273
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:27,280
because this is why we do it.

274
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,200
Honestly, I'm not making what I was making at K&B

275
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,880
or any of the other places I've done through 25 plus years

276
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,400
of doing this.

277
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,200
But at the end of the day, what this is allowing me to do

278
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,960
is just kind of refocus in my love for doing this and everything.

279
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,680
And so when you hear somebody say that over the years,

280
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:45,840
because that's what you try to do,

281
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,720
I'm just trying to entertain people and laugh and everything

282
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,320
and not take this too seriously and give you

283
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,200
a break from all the shit that's going on in our world

284
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,360
and all these different things.

285
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,240
So it's just really cool.

286
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,240
And it's not something you have to do.

287
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,720
And I'm not begging for it or asking for it.

288
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,440
I'm just simply saying that that just made my day

289
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,600
because that's what I've always tried to do

290
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,240
over a long time in doing this is just laugh and give you

291
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,600
a break and all that kind of stuff.

292
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,080
So anyway, really cool stuff.

293
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,920
Really cool stuff.

294
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,880
And I really appreciate it.

295
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,440
And I don't want that kind of stuff to go unnoticed.

296
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,000
All right, the 49ers beat the Bears 38 to 13.

297
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,160
Let's go over a few things.

298
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,000
Let's do positive first.

299
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,200
All right, let's just be really positive about the 49ers.

300
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,800
So if you get any questions, comments, thoughts,

301
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,880
I'm glad that it was working for people.

302
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,680
Good morning, John.

303
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,800
I'm glad that mornings are working for people in this time.

304
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,360
But here's, let's kick it with the 49ers offense.

305
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,080
And if you look right there, that's

306
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,560
the biggest part of this whole thing right now

307
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,760
is offensively in the 38-13 win.

308
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,160
Now they get off to this great start

309
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,080
and all those kind of things.

310
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,120
But as bad as the season has been,

311
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,120
and we're going to play a clip from Rapsheet over the weekend,

312
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,760
if you missed it.

313
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,720
There's Brock Purdy, 20-25, 3-25, two touchdowns.

314
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,480
It's a rating 145.4.

315
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,080
I have been critical of Brock Purdy.

316
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,120
There's no doubt about it.

317
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,920
But great game yesterday from Brock.

318
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,400
The draft class just keeps getting better and better and better.

319
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,040
Isaac Garrendo, Garrendo, Garrendo.

320
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,760
15 carries, 75 yards, 5-2 a carry,

321
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,360
two touchdowns, had a long of 30.

322
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,360
Seems like he can bust it every single time.

323
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,680
And take note that the Bears defense isn't horrible.

324
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:21,640
We get this thing in our head where just the team is awful.

325
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,360
That team's awful.

326
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,560
But defensively, the Bears aren't awful.

327
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,880
And so Garrendo runs for 78.

328
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,680
Plus he catches a couple of balls out of the backfield for 25.

329
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,080
And maybe somebody reminded Brock Purdy, hey,

330
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040
you can kick it out to the backs.

331
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,240
And they're going to do something.

332
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Garrendo in open field.

333
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,120
Remember, Garrendo was a receiver for the most part

334
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,600
in college, and he's just starting

335
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,480
to learn how to play running back, which is huge.

336
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,000
George Kittle, I'm going to tell you

337
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120
about a story about George Kittle in just a second.

338
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,840
Six carries, or excuse me, six catches, 151 yards on six targets.

339
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,920
And then Joann Jennings continues his season,

340
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,480
win healthy, 7 for 90, and two touchdowns.

341
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,920
So those are your stars of the game as far as the 49ers.

342
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,200
Couple of things here.

343
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800
Garrendo hasn't played running back for a long time.

344
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,360
And much, I should say, played wide receiver, as I said.

345
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,480
He's got massive upside in 4-3-3 speed.

346
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,880
George Kittle, so the thing I want to tell you about Kittle

347
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,160
is, and he's just showing you, he's better than Kelsey.

348
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,560
He's better all around tight end.

349
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:18,880
He's the best tight end in the league.

350
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,080
He's going into the Hall of Fame.

351
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:20,880
He's a great guy.

352
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,800
He's always treated me absolutely golden from the time

353
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,000
that he was a rookie do recently.

354
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,080
And the thing, though, is you and I have talked about this a lot,

355
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,400
even on the show, but we talked about it on KMBR as well.

356
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,040
Brock Purdy's going to get a contract,

357
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,920
and we're going to play that rap sheet for you

358
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,240
in just a second, that video of it that played over the weekend.

359
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,200
If you missed it, it'll play it for you in a second.

360
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,240
But when I talk about guys who may or may not

361
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,160
be coming back next year, Ward's not

362
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,920
going to come back next year because they signed Dima Lenore.

363
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,720
And I think they think Green is going to be a guy, the second

364
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,000
round pick out of Florida State.

365
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,560
Green is a guy that they think is going to have

366
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:56,640
some pretty decent upside.

367
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,680
So there's one of those that's that deal going on.

368
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:02,920
And then I don't think that Javon Hargrave is going to be back.

369
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,720
Greenlaw, we're going to see Thursday against the Rams.

370
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,520
Not sure that he's going to be back long term.

371
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,160
So there's a lot of guys that you got to make decisions on

372
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,760
because Brock Purdy's getting all that money,

373
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,480
and the team's getting older.

374
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,720
And George Kittle would seem to be one of those guys,

375
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560
because George Kittle can be hurt just because of the way

376
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:22,040
that he plays, the style that he plays.

377
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,560
And I had heard those things over the last couple of years.

378
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:25,760
There's no way.

379
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,280
The kind of season that George Kittle is having this year,

380
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,560
the kind of leadership that he provides in a different way,

381
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:34,480
just leadership in terms of how hard he plays,

382
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,640
how loose he is, how positive he is.

383
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,200
He's the most positive guy.

384
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,640
You have one of those kind of friends?

385
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,720
It's like, dude, you're relentlessly positive.

386
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,200
Stop.

387
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,000
And within the organization, and you can relate to this.

388
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,080
You don't have to be an athlete to relate to this.

389
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Within the organization, there are people who are like, dude,

390
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,000
you're just too much, because he's just all the time.

391
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,200
He is on all the time.

392
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,600
There are certain people who are on, and then you get away

393
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:56,920
from them.

394
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,720
I'm kind of like that.

395
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Papa's like that.

396
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,920
I got a lot of friends in this industry who like that.

397
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,080
I remember one time I was producing a show,

398
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,360
and I called Dick Vitale.

399
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,200
Are you Dick?

400
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,080
You're ready to come on the show?

401
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,680
And he's like, yeah, I'm ready to come on the show.

402
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,600
And I'm like, this cannot be Dick Vitale.

403
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,200
I hang up.

404
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,520
They pop him up into the studio.

405
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,000
He's like, hey, baby!

406
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,040
He's freaking out.

407
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,560
I'm like, wow.

408
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,480
So not everybody is on 24-7, 365.

409
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,640
Kittle is.

410
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,520
And it can be wearing within the organization.

411
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,600
It can wear out Kyle.

412
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,520
It can wear out guys.

413
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,080
And so over the last couple of years,

414
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,560
because of the injuries, you and I

415
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,000
talk about this all the time, the best ability is availability.

416
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,880
And sometimes Kittle isn't available.

417
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,920
And for that position, he's pretty highly paid.

418
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,160
He's highly compensated.

419
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,640
So Kittle, for me, was a guy, because I had heard this,

420
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,920
was kind of on that list that when veterans start getting

421
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,200
released by the 49ers, that George Kittle's

422
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:49,880
going to be on that list.

423
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Not anymore.

424
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,880
6 for 151.

425
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,680
And it's not just this game.

426
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,400
It's the way that he's hung in in a tough season this year.

427
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,200
He's banged up.

428
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:57,760
He's hurting.

429
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,560
He just is.

430
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,840
He's blocking as well as ever.

431
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,240
He's catching the football as well as ever.

432
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,200
Breaking tackles, running in the open field.

433
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,400
I mean, he's absolutely, he's getting better.

434
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,040
So he's a guy that's not going to be gone.

435
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,000
And then Juwan Jennings 7 for 90 yesterday,

436
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,360
if they would have known that Juwan Jennings was this good,

437
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,120
and they didn't, Brandon Iukowic wouldn't have been

438
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,280
re-signed, because they drafted Ricky Piersal.

439
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,000
I know that Piersal has generally disappeared.

440
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:23,560
He's a rookie.

441
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,360
That's what happens with rookies.

442
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,360
But next year, throw Iukowic out just for a second.

443
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,640
And I know Debo didn't have a game yesterday.

444
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,760
Another good game when he ended up five carriers for 13 yards.

445
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,240
They figured that running thing out, Kyle, just so you know.

446
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,840
Was it two catches, 22 yards?

447
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,120
He didn't do much.

448
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,040
So he's going to be gone.

449
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,440
But Iukowic to that big deal, if they didn't know

450
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Juwan was this good, they would have just traded him

451
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,400
and gotten picked.

452
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,800
Juwan Jennings can be a number one receiver even

453
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,200
though he runs a 4-7 plus.

454
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,960
He just, his positioning, it's like a basketball player,

455
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,600
rebounding.

456
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,000
I'm telling you stuff that you already know.

457
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,280
But yesterday, Perti Guerrero, who

458
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,040
has upside that makes that draft class,

459
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,000
look absolutely great.

460
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Kittle, the way that he's playing,

461
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,760
and Juwan Jennings continually stepping up.

462
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Debo will be gone next year.

463
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,200
But Juwan Jennings, Iukowic, hopefully Piersal,

464
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,520
they're going to bring back Kittle.

465
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,040
When you hear those names and then you

466
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,760
hear the national media going, they're dead.

467
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,000
They are dead.

468
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,040
All right, well, the guys I just mentioned, plus Brock

469
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,160
Perti, they're going to be three deep at running back.

470
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,640
They're going to lose Elijah Mitchell, who's

471
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,880
been out all year so you don't really know.

472
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,640
But when you're looking at CMC, Mason's

473
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,400
going to come back and looking at the upside of Garendo.

474
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,880
With the receivers I just mentioned,

475
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,600
Kittle playing as well as he is.

476
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,120
Brock Perti's going to get re-signed.

477
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,280
This team isn't dead.

478
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,920
This year they're not going to make the playoffs.

479
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,240
We'll get into that in just a second.

480
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,480
But this team is not dead.

481
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,840
You start looking at the team yesterday and you go, not bad.

482
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,280
Not bad.

483
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Let's go to the defensive side of things.

484
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,080
And then I'm going to get out to some hits on the chat line.

485
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,840
So stay right there if you got something for me.

486
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,760
Let me know.

487
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,680
Now defensively yesterday, seven sacks, seven.

488
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Now again, the Bears offensively are challenged.

489
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,400
They have an OK offensive line.

490
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,800
Not bad, not great, but OK.

491
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,680
You tore a gross Matos.

492
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:12,360
You tore a gross Matos, 94, in your program, three sacks.

493
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:15,320
A couple were covered sacks, but three sacks are three sacks.

494
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,360
Give it up to him.

495
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:17,640
Leonard Floyd's been interesting.

496
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,520
He gets two sacks.

497
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,840
And again, they get seven as a team.

498
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,440
And they talk to Leonard Floyd afterwards.

499
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,400
And he's a great guy.

500
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,160
I spoke to him quite a few times.

501
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,040
Pop and I had him on right after he signed.

502
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,680
And he's got 8 and 1 half sacks.

503
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,040
So you look at 8 and 1 half sacks and you think to yourself,

504
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,120
hey, he's pretty good.

505
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,720
It just hasn't felt impactful.

506
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,000
Maybe that's stupid of me.

507
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,720
But it's like, oh my god, he has 8 and 1 half sacks.

508
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,800
And with both out, it's even tougher and more of a challenge.

509
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,120
But seven sacks defensively for the 49ers yesterday.

510
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:50,040
And the yardage-wise, let me go down to this

511
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,600
and press your friends with this.

512
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Look at yards at the half yesterday.

513
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,360
For the love of God, man.

514
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:56,240
Look at that.

515
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,040
At the half yesterday, it was 3 10 to 2.

516
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,440
3 10 to 2 and 1 half.

517
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,880
As far as yards were concerned, the Niners blew them out

518
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:06,480
early enough.

519
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,240
And then real quick, some team stats

520
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,040
to give you for the 49ers.

521
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,720
So if you watched the preview show,

522
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,920
I did a preview because I talked so much

523
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,680
Willie Adomas on Saturday night that people are like, hey,

524
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,440
dude, you're going to talk any Niners?

525
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,440
I'm like, the greatness of this forum now is you just

526
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,240
talk what's hot.

527
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,480
Like, if the 49ers are a good topic,

528
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,440
I'll talk to 49ers.

529
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,880
But if they're not, I'm not going to talk about them at all.

530
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,280
So I told you, money downs.

531
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,280
I said the money downs defensively,

532
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,720
offensively the 49ers have been terrible all season long.

533
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,240
You get third down efficiency right there.

534
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,240
6 at 12, 50%.

535
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,040
They had been terrible.

536
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,160
Total yards I just gave you.

537
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,560
So they went 3 10 to 3 at half.

538
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,280
452 to 162 in total yards.

539
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,560
Sax I said 7.

540
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,360
But then here's the big one, red zone.

541
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:56,960
And we've talked about this all season long.

542
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,360
Christian McCaffrey is going to fix the red zone.

543
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:00,800
Not so much.

544
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,080
But they went 5 of 6 in the red zone yesterday.

545
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,280
5 of 6.

546
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,400
And I'm talking scoring touchdowns.

547
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,880
So then the Bears did go 2 of 2 because the Niners defense

548
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,320
has been so bad.

549
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,000
But still, you look at those team stats,

550
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,880
and they're pretty impressive as far as the 49ers are

551
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,400
concerned.

552
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,840
I'm going to take those off the board in 3, 2, and 1.

553
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,280
All right, let's get back to reality as far as the 49ers

554
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:23,780
gets.

555
00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:25,600
Yeah, before that.

556
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,640
Because let's have fun.

557
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,640
We don't want to go to reality.

558
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,280
By the way, I quit coffee today.

559
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,040
That was real smart.

560
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,040
I mean, I'm drinking a sugar-free red bulb.

561
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,000
My wife's like, I told her, I'm going to cut coffee out.

562
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,800
I'm going to be healthier.

563
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,880
I'm going to do better.

564
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,880
And then what do I do?

565
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,480
I'm going to cut coffee out this morning and then get a bunch

566
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,600
of sugar-free red bulb because it's like crack.

567
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,240
I got to have something.

568
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,560
All right.

569
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,640
Do you know how many broken TVs there were at Chicago

570
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,200
yesterday?

571
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480
Kyle says, they should be used to it by now.

572
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,960
I like Caleb Williams.

573
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,400
He's eventually going to be a good player.

574
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,600
But they haven't been good forever.

575
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,360
I have an autographed Debo helmet.

576
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:08,360
His play is declining.

577
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:09,760
Yeah, he's going to be gone.

578
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000
And I got nothing against Debo personally.

579
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,120
I'm not going to be able to get him.

580
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:15,360
Too many hits.

581
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,160
He's not done.

582
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,440
I mean, Debo's not even 30.

583
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,360
But the reality is, is that the style that Debo plays,

584
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:25,640
and he combines that running back and wide receiver position,

585
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,320
and he's not the greatest of route runners.

586
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,720
It's just, he's going to take a short pass,

587
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,960
and he's going to run you over.

588
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,200
So even though he's a wide receiver,

589
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,280
he's actually a running back in terms of his build.

590
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,480
And I think that it's just taken its toll on him.

591
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,400
He's gotten banged up.

592
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,480
And I just don't think that he's a guy.

593
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,040
And then you look at the contract as well, and he knows.

594
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,880
So one thing I'll give Debo a ton of credit on.

595
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,080
He knows that this is his last season here.

596
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,560
He knows he hasn't been productive.

597
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,680
He knows that he's too expensive on a team that

598
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,160
is scrapping for money, especially when Brock

599
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,880
Purdy gets paid.

600
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,080
And he's been a professional.

601
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,280
I give him a ton of credit.

602
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,400
Breathing air is unhealthy.

603
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,080
You're right.

604
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,200
Black coffee.

605
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,960
Yeah, I do like black coffee, by the way.

606
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,800
I'm not one of those people that has put 90 things in and whipped

607
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,080
cream on the top.

608
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,560
We wonder why we're, never mind.

609
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,680
I'm not going to get into a why we're obese as a country.

610
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,600
That's not going to do anybody any good.

611
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,800
But when you see somebody walk out of a Starbucks with like

612
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,640
three pounds of whipped cream on the top, come on, bro.

613
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,360
What are you doing?

614
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,280
What are you doing?

615
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,200
Let's see what else we got in the chat today.

616
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,280
Let's see here.

617
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Lorenzo Neal.

618
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,400
Is there a Lorenzo Neal signing?

619
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,040
Somebody mentioned some Lorenzo Neal.

620
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,200
Yeah, there is some dead cap around.

621
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,280
Yeah, you're right, John.

622
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,640
Coffee is better than Red Bull.

623
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,240
I'm an idiot.

624
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,200
I won't drink coffee, which is pretty natural, right?

625
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,480
Just black coffee.

626
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,360
Go out and get a Red Bull.

627
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,920
It's full of chemicals.

628
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:53,960
Die early.

629
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,760
Too much soy.

630
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,640
So anyway, all right, let's move on to some other things.

631
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,760
Now, look, this is just the way it's going for the four

632
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,040
dinners.

633
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,760
And I promise we'll get to some Willi Adamas

634
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,440
and have some fun here.

635
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,560
But here are your playoff standings.

636
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,280
And this is reality.

637
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,480
So they beat Chicago 38-13.

638
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,520
Everybody's feeling good.

639
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,080
I just showed you the offensive stars.

640
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,840
And more so, I showed you that to say,

641
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,680
this national thought that the 49ers are dead.

642
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,600
Look at these guys.

643
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,320
Look at this draft class.

644
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,720
This year, it's been horrendous.

645
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,080
There's been injuries, weird stuff.

646
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,080
But that doesn't mean that's the way it's going to be.

647
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,880
But if you start looking, and that's just the NFC there,

648
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,440
you know what the Lions are going to do?

649
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,400
The Niners are going to play him.

650
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,120
The Eagles, Seahawks now third.

651
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:33,880
Bucks won yesterday.

652
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Vikings are 11 and two.

653
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,720
Sam Darnold played well.

654
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,160
The Packers, Commanders.

655
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,720
But then you look at the bottom.

656
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,760
Would you ever thought in a million years, the 49ers

657
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,560
would be 11th?

658
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,880
11th?

659
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,840
I don't care about the injuries.

660
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Rams won yesterday.

661
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,640
Falcons lost to the Vikings.

662
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Cardinals lost to the Seahawks at home.

663
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,840
And then you see the lonely 49ers at the bottom there.

664
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,280
So that's really the reality of it, of the playoff picture.

665
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,200
And then to just kind of take that a step,

666
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,480
nobody likes to quit a job.

667
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,320
That's a good point.

668
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,520
And then you look at my fancy graphic there,

669
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,520
where this is what I'm projecting.

670
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,240
And again, when I project things,

671
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,480
they horrendously go wacky and they don't work out.

672
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,200
So this is another thing where you can say,

673
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,080
Lund, you're insane and you're stupid.

674
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,880
And hit me up at John Lund radio.

675
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,720
Hit me up in the chat.

676
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040
Any of my many social media places

677
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,400
that I've just told you about.

678
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,640
So this is my projection.

679
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,240
This is no one else's projection.

680
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,480
We'll see what happens.

681
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,840
Generally wrong.

682
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,640
But the Seahawks are 8 and 5.

683
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,960
Green Bay, Minnesota at Chicago at the Rams.

684
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,520
I think they're going to go 10 and 7.

685
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,440
That's 2 and 2.

686
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,480
I think they'll beat Green Bay at home this weekend.

687
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,760
Probably not.

688
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,680
I think they'll lose to Minnesota at home.

689
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,360
Probably not.

690
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,640
At Chicago, we just saw the Bears.

691
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,560
That doesn't give me a lot.

692
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,920
And then they don't play well at the Rams.

693
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,720
So I'm going to go 10 and 7 for the Seahawks.

694
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,600
The Rams get that win over Josh Allen and the Bills

695
00:23:59,600 --> 00:23:59,880
yesterday.

696
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,720
That was crazy.

697
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,680
So they're at 49ers on Thursday.

698
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Niners get that win at the Jets.

699
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,840
I gave them a win.

700
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,240
My god, Aaron Rodgers.

701
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:08,840
What a joke.

702
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,040
What are they, 3 and 10?

703
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,760
Then you got Arizona and Seattle.

704
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,840
I project them to 10 and 7.

705
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,240
And this is what you care about.

706
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,120
Now, let me know here.

707
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:19,920
What do you think?

708
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,120
Am I wrong in this projection for the 49ers?

709
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:24,040
6 and 7.

710
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,120
You got the Rams are going to win that 7 and 7 at the Dolphins.

711
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,000
You're going all the way across the country.

712
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,640
Here's where you're probably going to disagree with me.

713
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,920
You're going all the way across the country,

714
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,440
which is not easy.

715
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,080
And two is looking pretty decent.

716
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,880
They beat the Jets.

717
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,840
It did take overtime and they were at home.

718
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,560
So maybe I'm wrong here.

719
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,920
I have them as a loss there.

720
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,360
So 7 and 7, 7 and 8.

721
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:46,760
Detroit at home.

722
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,040
Detroit's just going to be chomping at the bit, right?

723
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:50,800
That's my thought.

724
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,240
Is that Detroit's going to be like, we want revenge.

725
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,440
It's not going to bring back the NFC championship game,

726
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,160
but they're going to go pedal to the medal.

727
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,480
I really think that's going to be a difficult one

728
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,680
with all the injuries.

729
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,480
So what does that turns into?

730
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,840
7 and 8, right?

731
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,040
7 and 9, whatever that is.

732
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:07,800
Yeah, 7 and 9.

733
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,800
And then at Arizona makes them 8 and 9.

734
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,120
I think they win at Arizona.

735
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:12,800
So 8 and 9.

736
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,400
That's not going to get it done clearly.

737
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,920
And then Arizona's 6 and 7.

738
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,960
They've got the easiest schedule.

739
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,720
New England, Carolina, I give them two wins.

740
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,120
That's 8 and 7 at the Rams.

741
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:22,480
I think they lose, even though they blew out the Rams earlier

742
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:22,880
this year.

743
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,880
Niners, I think they lose that when they go 8 and 9.

744
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,880
So what do you think of my projections there?

745
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,760
And I know I'm being a bummer on a Monday,

746
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,160
because I feel great game.

747
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,160
I pointed out all those guys defensively,

748
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,640
look what they did with 7 sacks.

749
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,480
And Grenda was good.

750
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,240
And Jennings was good.

751
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,040
And Kittle is good.

752
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,880
And Kittle's not going anywhere and all this kind of stuff.

753
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,480
And then, Len, you've got to bring back reality.

754
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,600
I apologize.

755
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,560
So if I'm on crack and you think that this is crazy,

756
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,320
that I'm projecting these things that I'm projecting,

757
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,120
then let me know.

758
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:51,960
But what do you think?

759
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,360
Is that a bad projection right there?

760
00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:56,160
Seattle 10 and 7, Rams 10 and 7.

761
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,800
I don't know what their tiebreakers are.

762
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:58,400
You care about it.

763
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,600
Is it the Niners 8 and 9?

764
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,280
Maybe you're already into the draft

765
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,880
and where that would put them in the draft.

766
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,760
Because last week, we got into Tankathon.

767
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,480
You go to Tankathon very often?

768
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,640
You go to Tankathon.

769
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,680
And you look at the whole thing,

770
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,440
and you're like, I'm already in the next year.

771
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,160
So great win.

772
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,720
I'm looking at more individuals than I am the team

773
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,120
at this particular point.

774
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:22,320
I'm excited about Grenda.

775
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,160
I think that Jennings is getting better and better.

776
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,680
I like that Kittle's going to be around.

777
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,040
Believe me.

778
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:27,640
Believe me.

779
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,320
There are a lot of people within that building

780
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,480
who get worn out by George Kittle and the injuries

781
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,760
and what he costs.

782
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,200
And people going, is he going to be on that cut list?

783
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,440
And that's not me talking.

784
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,280
That's not fandom.

785
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,480
That's not Mike Florio.

786
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,360
That's not somebody projecting something.

787
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:42,080
That's reality.

788
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,600
But I don't think he's going anywhere.

789
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:44,880
So that's good.

790
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,080
Not a bad projected at all, John.

791
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:47,640
We'll see.

792
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,280
I'm usually pretty bad at that.

793
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,200
I'm pretty poor at those.

794
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,280
Here's some good news.

795
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,280
So here's what I did.

796
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,640
Because this is what people tell you

797
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,960
when you are giving criticism to someone

798
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,240
or you're evaluating someone in a boss type position.

799
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,080
You give them a little good news, a little bad news,

800
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,960
and you always end on a positive note.

801
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,760
So that's what we did.

802
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,760
We looked at the Bears game, 38-13.

803
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:08,280
Looking good.

804
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,720
Look at all these guys who played well.

805
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:10,560
Look at these young guys.

806
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,600
Da-da-da-da-da-da.

807
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,040
And then I gave you a little bad news.

808
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,400
Here's reality.

809
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,880
And now I'm going to end on a little good news.

810
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,160
I think this is good news.

811
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,520
Tell me if I am wrong on this one as well.

812
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,920
This was Rapsheet yesterday.

813
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,840
This was before the game.

814
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,000
And you and I have had a lot of conversations

815
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,680
about Brock Purdy and what his future is.

816
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,520
And I know that you and I are going

817
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,520
to have a lot more conversations about Brock Purdy

818
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,160
in the offseason.

819
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,160
But he was great yesterday against the Bears.

820
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,360
Here is Ian Rappaport before the game yesterday,

821
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,880
saying that nothing has changed in the eyes of the 49ers.

822
00:27:42,880 --> 00:28:10,640
And they want Brock Purdy to be their long-term quarterback.

823
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,160
All right.

824
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:11,840
There you go.

825
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,840
What am I doing?

826
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,320
I'm like waiting for the video to end.

827
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,000
And it ended.

828
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,920
And I'm just standing there sitting there,

829
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,760
looking at the camera.

830
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,160
My stance hasn't changed.

831
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,920
Brock Purdy played great yesterday.

832
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,920
I'd like to see a few more things from Brock.

833
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,920
You and I have had this conversation a million times.

834
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,320
A good quarterback is going to get paid

835
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,600
as much as a great quarterback because he's just the latest.

836
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,760
But another thing happened.

837
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,600
And I talked about this a little bit earlier

838
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,360
on in the podcast slash YouTube channel today.

839
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:39,240
Sam Darnold had another great game.

840
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,120
Now, if you listen to me on K and BR with any regularity,

841
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,160
I'm not a Sam Darnold guy.

842
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,160
He has all the physical tools in the chest that you need.

843
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,040
But the mental side for Sam Darnold,

844
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,360
like when I was at camp last year,

845
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,760
it just wasn't clicking in for him.

846
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,040
And that's really what it was.

847
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,600
And I'm not saying Sam Darnold's dumb.

848
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,600
It's just that the biggest thing that Brock Purdy gives you

849
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,480
is his quick times in order to just, you know,

850
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,640
he sees the field and it's out.

851
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,140
It's out.

852
00:29:06,140 --> 00:29:07,320
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

853
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,720
And that's really not Sam Darnold,

854
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,480
even though he's gotten a lot better.

855
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,440
And so this morning, I was reading a piece

856
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,880
and somebody actually made the case for Sam Darnold

857
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,360
to be an MVP candidate.

858
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,360
I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

859
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,840
whoa.

860
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,520
But this kind of applies to this whole Jared Goff thing

861
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,280
that I'm always telling you about because Jared Goff

862
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,520
has had everything perfect.

863
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,280
They've played the majority of their games inside.

864
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,080
Of course, they play inside for their home games,

865
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,320
but also a lot of the road games.

866
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,960
I think only two times Goff has had to go outside.

867
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,040
He's got all the weapons.

868
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,880
And therefore, Jared Goff, who's a good, not great quarterback

869
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,120
and has gotten paid like a great quarterback,

870
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,520
can look like a great quarterback even though he's good.

871
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,800
Does that make sense?

872
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,960
Same thing with Sam Darnold.

873
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,520
Look at Sam Darnold.

874
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:47,960
Really good running game.

875
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,160
Jordan Jefferson, yeah, he's fairly good.

876
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,600
Jordan Addison, T.J. Hawkinson, pretty good offensive line.

877
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,280
All of a sudden, it's like Sam Darnold can look pretty good.

878
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,720
And he looked pretty good yesterday.

879
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,840
So what's Sam Darnold going to make in the offseason?

880
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,760
I would think that a team that the Giants and the Raiders

881
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,160
are going to take quarterbacks where they are.

882
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,680
The Raiders, I think, are now 2 and 11

883
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,080
after another outstanding performance yesterday.

884
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,680
If you didn't catch that sarcasm.

885
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,160
But so they're going to take the quarterbacks.

886
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,240
And then I think Darnold's going to make a lot of money.

887
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,240
And I don't think he's going to stay in Minnesota

888
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,680
because JJ McCarthy out of Minnesota

889
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,840
was a first round pick, top 10 guy.

890
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,160
So I think Minnesota is going to pivot to him.

891
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,640
And then there's Sam Darnold standing there.

892
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,640
Now, I know you're going to call me crazy and on crack

893
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,840
and all those kind of things.

894
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,080
But would the 49ers be better off with a, I don't know,

895
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,440
$20 or $25 million Sam Darnold than a $50 or $60 million Brock

896
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,040
party? I'm just bringing it up. Don't throw anything at me.

897
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,880
I'm just, I'm just bringing it up because how many players

898
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,960
can you sign with the difference in that money?

899
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,240
Two or three? Can you keep two or three?

900
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,640
Can you bring in two or three?

901
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,800
Because the one thing about it is, and I've always had this

902
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,080
thought, and I could be totally wrong.

903
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,240
I'm just, I'm just spitballing.

904
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,720
Just throwing it against the wall.

905
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,320
Maybe I'm wrong.

906
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,240
But if Kyle Shanahan is your offensive coordinator

907
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,760
and he's brilliant, and then you have all these weapons,

908
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,360
I just told you, three deep running back,

909
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,680
kid will stay around.

910
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,080
I think Peersall is going to come through.

911
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,640
Jennings looks like a number one receiver.

912
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:15,640
They're going to let Debo go.

913
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560
Iuk is going to come back.

914
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,840
The thing for me, and I've been saying this and preaching,

915
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,200
not only on K and BR, but here, offensive and defensive line.

916
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,040
Trenches, trenches, trenches, trenches, trenches, trenches.

917
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,920
That's what the 49ers do when they are winning at a high level.

918
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,240
They're punching you in the face.

919
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,720
And these teams who are, who are much better this year,

920
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,880
Philadelphia punches in the face, sodas Detroit,

921
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,280
the Rams are trying to do that.

922
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,560
The Seahawks are trying to do that.

923
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,720
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

924
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,000
And so with the 49ers winning and winning and winning,

925
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,360
and everybody looked at them and said, you know what?

926
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,800
We got to punch people in the face.

927
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,920
And it starts in the division.

928
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,680
So the Rams up their offensive line.

929
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,600
Seattle's offensive line stinks.

930
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,200
But Mike McDonald's a defensive guy.

931
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,760
They fortified their defensive line.

932
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,360
They traded for a guy in season.

933
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:00,600
Robertson from the Jags.

934
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,000
They drafted by Ren Murphy in the first round out of Texas.

935
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,040
So their teams are trying to punch in the mouth in this division.

936
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,240
The better teams are starting to punch in the mouth all around the NFC

937
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,000
because they watched the 49ers punch them in the mouth forever.

938
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,160
So the 49ers have to get back to that.

939
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,800
I'm not saying Brock Purdy isn't great.

940
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,440
I'm not saying that I'm down on Brock Purdy.

941
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,840
I keep saying that over and over again, so I apologize.

942
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,600
But I'm looking at a Darl go, and man,

943
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,440
if you signed him for a few years at $25 million,

944
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,880
and I've kind of done a flip on him because Papa was sitting there

945
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,960
going, Darl, Darl, Darl, I'm like, I don't like Darl.

946
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,800
I just don't.

947
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,000
I don't like his mental side.

948
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,080
Physically, yeah.

949
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,320
Physically, there was a reason why he was the third overall pick.

950
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,320
Physically, there was a reason why Brock was the last pick.

951
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,440
Mr. Irrelevant, but Brock's got the brain that Sam Darl doesn't.

952
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,960
So I'm not sure if I would trust it.

953
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,520
I'm simply saying that if the 49ers want to get back

954
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,840
to dominance on the offensive and defensive lines,

955
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,720
they have to dedicate it through the draft,

956
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,120
and they probably have to go out and get a few guys as well.

957
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,680
Trent Williams isn't going to play forever.

958
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,560
We know what the defensive line has been doing.

959
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,320
I know they got seven sacks yesterday,

960
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,080
but they get both of back.

961
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,800
But to me, it's the interior of the defensive line.

962
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,880
And then I'm worried about the tackle's long term.

963
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,040
Banks isn't the answer at guard.

964
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,320
Obviously, Brendl isn't the answer at center.

965
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,160
So that's a lot of guys that you've got to get.

966
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,480
Can you pay Brock Perry all that money

967
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,920
and still fortify those lines to the level

968
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,760
you need to be the team you used to be?

969
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:25,440
Tell me I'm wrong.

970
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,280
Tell me I'm on a crack.

971
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,440
I'm OK with that.

972
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,600
At Jodlund Radio, make sure that you hit me up.

973
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,240
Jodlund Unleashed.

974
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,720
We do this daily at 8 AM, or excuse me,

975
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400
Monday through Friday, 8 AM, Saturday and Sunday.

976
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,080
I was sleeping in.

977
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,680
Although, like we said, Saturday night,

978
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,880
we did a huge two hour thing on Willie Adamus live.

979
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,000
We were drinking whiskey.

980
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:45,800
We were partying.

981
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,960
We were having a great time because, my god,

982
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,560
Buster Posey signed the guy.

983
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:50,840
We're going to get into that next,

984
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,000
because that is the huge story along with Juan Soto

985
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:53,920
signing with the Mets.

986
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,320
But make sure you're following.

987
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,600
Make sure you're telling your friends.

988
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,440
Make sure you're subscribing at Jodlund Radio.

989
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,480
Please make sure, and that would be very, very nice.

990
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,360
Let me get back to the chat line for a minute.

991
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,400
What's everybody up to?

992
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,320
Tacky, Saturday night was fun, Tacky.

993
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,680
I'm telling you, I was so jacked up.

994
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,680
Afterwards, it was about 8 o'clock.

995
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,800
And my wife thought I was going to be gone like 15, 20 minutes.

996
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,560
She goes, well, how long are you going to be gone?

997
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,400
She's not watching or listening.

998
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,840
But it's like she didn't want me around,

999
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,760
but then I did two hours, and then she was mad at me.

1000
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,760
I'm like, I cannot win.

1001
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,200
You've got to be kidding me.

1002
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:35,560
Yeah, I'd hate to root for the team that broke off $60 million

1003
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:36,320
for Tacky.

1004
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:36,840
Right.

1005
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,440
I mean, I guess that's what I keep saying.

1006
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,120
I keep saying, man, I'm looking at Dallas going,

1007
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,240
Dax not a bad quarterback.

1008
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:47,600
He's had some bad injury issues, but they give him all that money.

1009
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,800
And then Jerry Jones says, I can't afford anybody.

1010
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,000
So they have no running game.

1011
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,400
They have.

1012
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,160
I mean, they need to start over.

1013
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,520
They give lamb a bunch of money.

1014
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,880
They give the quarterback a bunch of money,

1015
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,240
and then they can't afford anybody.

1016
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:00,520
That's what I'm looking at here is I'm saying, OK,

1017
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,680
they're giving receivers money.

1018
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,880
Even with Deba leaving, they gave Ayuk $30 million.

1019
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,800
They're going to give Brock Purdy $50 or $60 million.

1020
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,520
And teams, as I said, teams get in trouble

1021
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,360
when they give good quarterbacks great money.

1022
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,400
Problem is, I think there's only two great quarterbacks

1023
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,680
in the league right now.

1024
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,960
Josh Allen, and if you watch that Rams-Bills game,

1025
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,480
that was ridiculous.

1026
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,240
And Mahomes.

1027
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:28,160
And again, the Chiefs just pulled one out of the fire last night

1028
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,480
against the Chargers.

1029
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,480
Matthew Wright, by the way, former kicker for the 49ers.

1030
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,720
Doink!

1031
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:36,200
Doink's it off the upright, but it goes in,

1032
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,160
because that's what Kansas City does.

1033
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,000
And they end up beating the Chargers last night.

1034
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,480
But it's just that I don't know how much longer

1035
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,360
the luck can go for the Chiefs if they can just

1036
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,440
do this all season long.

1037
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,920
But it's like, that's what they do every game.

1038
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,680
Crazy.

1039
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,320
All right.

1040
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,760
What else we got up here?

1041
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,200
Saturday Night, Crack.

1042
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:57,800
Hey, Michael.

1043
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Good to have you, man.

1044
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,080
Again, say hi.

1045
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,520
Any questions, comments, thoughts?

1046
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,720
I'd love to hear from you.

1047
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:06,000
Who else have we got in here?

1048
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:06,520
Very cool.

1049
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,560
All right, let's get to the big thing

1050
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,720
that you want to get to, because I've

1051
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:11,760
wanted to talk about this since 8 o'clock when we started

1052
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,000
all this kind of stuff.

1053
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,480
And that is some baseball stuff that's been going on.

1054
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,720
You know this by now, but there it is.

1055
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,440
One solo to the Yankees.

1056
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,640
The Yankees lose one.

1057
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,720
By the way, this is the way New Yorkers think.

1058
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:25,600
New York Daily News.

1059
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,680
It's not the Mets get one solo.

1060
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,240
It's the Yankees lose one soda to the crosstown rival Mets.

1061
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:35,280
A superstar takes 15 year, 765.

1062
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,160
Bzzz.

1063
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,880
Sorry, I was choking on my Red Bull.

1064
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,400
765 million dollar deal.

1065
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,800
I'm just going to let that sink in for just a second.

1066
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,680
My god, man.

1067
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,800
15 for 765.

1068
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,520
If you get $765 million, you should never make it out.

1069
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,360
And you should at home run almost every single time you're

1070
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,120
up.

1071
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,920
Couple of things in the Juan Soto deal.

1072
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,480
I'm desensitized to money.

1073
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,680
I don't know if you are, but I'm desensitized to money.

1074
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,280
It's like whatever.

1075
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,560
It's just funny money.

1076
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,080
It's absolutely ridiculous.

1077
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,280
It's crazy, whatever.

1078
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,720
Juan Soto is good.

1079
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:13,880
He's not a tonny.

1080
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,440
I mean, he's a really nice player.

1081
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,480
He's won championships.

1082
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,120
He's been up since he was a teenager.

1083
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,560
He's a really nice, offensive player.

1084
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,200
All those things.

1085
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,600
The problem I have, and this is not related to Brock,

1086
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,440
but it is to a certain extent.

1087
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,080
If I'm a general manager, and we're

1088
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,360
going to kind of morph this in to talk about Buster Posey,

1089
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,880
but if I'm a general manager, I will

1090
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,320
pay the players who I think are going

1091
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,440
to be generational talents and help me turn the turnstiles,

1092
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,960
help me win, do all those kind of things.

1093
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,960
They have to check off a lot of boxes, I think.

1094
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,400
And a tonny checked off those boxes for the Giants

1095
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,360
a couple of years ago.

1096
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,920
Judge checked off those boxes.

1097
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,680
I mean, you know who I'm talking about.

1098
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,680
There are certain guys that are just that way that

1099
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,640
can change your franchise.

1100
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,400
I think Bryce Harper did that for the Phillies

1101
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,160
a couple of years ago.

1102
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,400
Juan Soto going to the Mets.

1103
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,440
Is that going to change their franchise?

1104
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,080
Maybe.

1105
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,440
I mean, maybe it is, and maybe I'm short selling Juan Soto.

1106
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,360
And I'm not bitter or angry or anything like that.

1107
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,080
I didn't think that the Giants were ever going to get Juan Soto.

1108
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,800
I don't think they should have even went

1109
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,560
in the bidding for Juan Soto, which they didn't.

1110
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,040
Thank you, Buster Posey, which we're

1111
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,160
going to get into in a second.

1112
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,240
And why it's so awesome what Buster Posey did,

1113
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:22,680
because he didn't chase Juan Soto.

1114
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,880
And while Juan Soto was being chased, all these other free

1115
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,920
agents went off the market.

1116
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Farhan, which by the way, on Saturday night,

1117
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,280
I went into this thing where I kept sliding over and bashing

1118
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,040
Farhan, and I kept apologizing for it.

1119
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,880
And people were like, let's bash Farhan.

1120
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:37,880
And you're right.

1121
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,720
So let me get to Buster and Farhan and Adamus

1122
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:44,360
and what this means and the winter meetings and all that

1123
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,040
in just a second.

1124
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:50,120
But if you're offended by salty language,

1125
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,400
and this is pretty salty.

1126
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,680
I mean, this is a lot of salt.

1127
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,880
This is like when the lid is loosened,

1128
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,000
and you go to a restaurant, some smart ass kid

1129
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,560
is loosened up the salt, then you go to put it on your fries

1130
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,280
or something or your food, and the thing falls off,

1131
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,680
and there's just mounds of salt.

1132
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:04,240
You're like, really?

1133
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,200
This is salty language.

1134
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,080
So if you're offended by salty language,

1135
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,360
and maybe you're listening on the podcast later on,

1136
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,840
and your kid's in the car or something, just a minute or two.

1137
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,400
Because I want to play this A because I think it's funny.

1138
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:25,400
But also because this is just New Yorkers in a nutshell.

1139
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,960
Yankees fans, I should say it in a nutshell,

1140
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,960
because they think everybody should want to play there.

1141
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,480
And it's just not the case.

1142
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,320
So let me play this.

1143
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,840
We'll do a little rant, then let's get into Adamus.

1144
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:38,000
But here's pissed off Yankees fan after Juan Soto decides

1145
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,800
to take all that money to go to the Mets.

1146
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:50,360
Salty, 3, 2, 1.

1147
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,560
Anyway, we did spend

1148
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,880
like $500.

1149
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:23,600
Before I got the box, get that THIAJ out.

1150
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,320
And then I can teach you a little lesson.

1151
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:31,560
Give me a TV set on Twitter if you're in the Mets.

1152
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,760
Go ahead and subscribe here.

1153
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:42,700
So if you're offended, if you just hit the middle of that, came onto the channel and

1154
00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:46,060
maybe this was your first time going to John London, you're like, what the, what the, what

1155
00:40:46,060 --> 00:40:48,060
the, my kids listening to this.

1156
00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:49,620
Look, we all talk like that.

1157
00:40:49,620 --> 00:40:55,140
I mean, again, this is one of the fun parts of being on this forum is just like, fuck.

1158
00:40:55,140 --> 00:40:56,780
I mean, who doesn't say fuck?

1159
00:40:56,780 --> 00:41:01,780
I may say it a million times a day, and I'm still struggling with it because almost 30

1160
00:41:01,780 --> 00:41:04,220
years on the radio, and it's the weirdest thing.

1161
00:41:04,220 --> 00:41:05,220
And I want to get into soda.

1162
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:08,220
This is just a small tangent and I'll get right back onto the freeway.

1163
00:41:08,220 --> 00:41:12,700
But for, for all these years, it, something in my head, like I'll get off the air.

1164
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:15,980
I mean, a minute off, a second off the air, and I'll walk out and I would talk to guys

1165
00:41:15,980 --> 00:41:18,800
in the studio and we're f-bombing and all this kind of stuff.

1166
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,860
But in that studio, having the headphones on, having a mic in front of my face, because

1167
00:41:22,860 --> 00:41:27,940
I've been so programmed in my brain not to have, you know, not no profanity, no profanity,

1168
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:32,780
that I'm still kind of like, it takes me a minute, it's taking me a minute.

1169
00:41:32,780 --> 00:41:37,980
But anyway, no, no, I, I would never, honestly, I would never, ever, ever.

1170
00:41:37,980 --> 00:41:42,020
But now it's like, it's going to be weird because I've got other things going on, some

1171
00:41:42,020 --> 00:41:44,300
other things going on, but I'm going to always do this show.

1172
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:48,860
But I'm going to be back on, not terrestrial radios, so to speak, but other places where

1173
00:41:48,860 --> 00:41:52,220
it's like, you know, so I'm, I'm a little bit afraid of it just because I'm going to

1174
00:41:52,220 --> 00:41:54,420
go back and then we'll be like fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

1175
00:41:54,420 --> 00:41:58,500
And it's like, whoa, dude, I'm like, sorry, I've been doing a podcast and a YouTube show,

1176
00:41:58,500 --> 00:41:59,780
we can say whatever we want.

1177
00:41:59,780 --> 00:42:04,740
So anyway, okay, let me go back to that for just a second.

1178
00:42:04,740 --> 00:42:07,940
I know a lot of times this is for comedic purposes.

1179
00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:10,700
And I know that that guy's well known, dude.

1180
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:17,140
And you got to decide, you know, a guy breaks his TV, like who's doing that because it's

1181
00:42:17,140 --> 00:42:20,460
just social media and you want clicks and who's doing that because they're pissed off.

1182
00:42:20,460 --> 00:42:22,060
But I'm just going to use it for what it is.

1183
00:42:22,060 --> 00:42:26,860
I know part of it is comedy and part of it is a set, but that is how Yankees fans think.

1184
00:42:26,860 --> 00:42:28,780
They think, why would you leave the pinstripes?

1185
00:42:28,780 --> 00:42:29,780
We're the greatest.

1186
00:42:29,780 --> 00:42:30,780
New York is the greatest city.

1187
00:42:30,780 --> 00:42:34,500
I'm a West Coast guy my whole life.

1188
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:35,700
I did live East.

1189
00:42:35,700 --> 00:42:38,460
Like I said, I think I'm kind of an expert in this.

1190
00:42:38,460 --> 00:42:39,700
I worked in Pittsburgh.

1191
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:40,700
I worked in Detroit.

1192
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:42,340
I worked in Dallas.

1193
00:42:42,340 --> 00:42:45,060
I just kind of, there's a certain way you can go in this business.

1194
00:42:45,060 --> 00:42:49,660
You can stay in one place and grind there and climb that ladder as I'm doing that.

1195
00:42:49,660 --> 00:42:54,180
Or you can go all over the country and chase different jobs and try to grow your career

1196
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:55,180
like that.

1197
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:56,180
I did the ladder.

1198
00:42:56,180 --> 00:42:58,420
I don't know that I would ever do it again and I'm certainly not going back East and

1199
00:42:58,420 --> 00:42:59,420
freezing my ass off.

1200
00:42:59,420 --> 00:43:01,340
My California blood is way too thin.

1201
00:43:01,340 --> 00:43:03,700
So I'm not, no way, not ever doing it again.

1202
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:08,820
I'm glad that I did because my sports perspective is I understand East Coast people.

1203
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:13,300
The only place I didn't work is the South.

1204
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:15,020
Have I ever told you the story?

1205
00:43:15,020 --> 00:43:18,540
Hit me up on the text line because if I have and you don't want me to tell the story, I

1206
00:43:18,540 --> 00:43:19,540
won't.

1207
00:43:19,540 --> 00:43:27,820
I do have a really good story about almost, my life almost ending on a stage because SEC

1208
00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:29,980
football fans were going to kill me.

1209
00:43:29,980 --> 00:43:31,220
I'm not kidding.

1210
00:43:31,220 --> 00:43:32,780
They were going to take me down.

1211
00:43:32,780 --> 00:43:34,500
Now, would I, would I've actually died?

1212
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:36,860
Am I going a little too far on that?

1213
00:43:36,860 --> 00:43:38,820
Am I embellishing somewhat?

1214
00:43:38,820 --> 00:43:42,740
Maybe, but it was a big stage I was on and it was about ready to go down.

1215
00:43:42,740 --> 00:43:45,140
So there had been probably a major injury.

1216
00:43:45,140 --> 00:43:46,860
You know, I think, I think so.

1217
00:43:46,860 --> 00:43:49,660
I think I would add a major injury, but I've worked all over the country.

1218
00:43:49,660 --> 00:43:52,500
I'll tell the story in just a second, but I've worked all over the country.

1219
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:58,020
So I have a pretty good sense of different sports fans and I just, I, no offense to anybody.

1220
00:43:58,020 --> 00:43:59,020
I love anybody.

1221
00:43:59,020 --> 00:44:00,020
I don't care where you're from.

1222
00:44:00,020 --> 00:44:03,940
East, West, Midwest, South, not from the country, whatever, man.

1223
00:44:03,940 --> 00:44:09,180
I get along with everybody, but I, there is a, there is an East Coast bias.

1224
00:44:09,180 --> 00:44:14,940
There is a, just all over the country, but there's a reason why.

1225
00:44:14,940 --> 00:44:19,620
Like when I lived in Detroit, it was cold and gray and bitter and there was nothing

1226
00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:20,620
else to do.

1227
00:44:20,620 --> 00:44:24,980
So when the Lions lost, which when I was there, they went 0-1-16 with Rod Maranelli and, you

1228
00:44:24,980 --> 00:44:29,140
know, the Tigers won 43 games one year I was there.

1229
00:44:29,140 --> 00:44:30,900
You know, there's nothing else to do.

1230
00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:34,580
So there's just, you're so pissed and bitter when it's over there into Michigan football

1231
00:44:34,580 --> 00:44:35,740
and Michigan State basketball.

1232
00:44:35,740 --> 00:44:40,460
And it's just such a big thing that when there's no more sports, it's like, what do we do?

1233
00:44:40,460 --> 00:44:44,900
And in California, it's like, I don't know, we'll go drink wine or we'll go to the beach

1234
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:46,340
or there's a million things to do.

1235
00:44:46,340 --> 00:44:49,300
It's expensive as hell here, but there's a reason why.

1236
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:52,820
Because I walk, you know, we, not me, we all walk outside.

1237
00:44:52,820 --> 00:44:58,220
And the other day it was like 67 degrees and it's almost mid December.

1238
00:44:58,220 --> 00:45:01,140
I mean, there's four, I was talking to my mom the other day.

1239
00:45:01,140 --> 00:45:02,140
She traveled back.

1240
00:45:02,140 --> 00:45:03,300
She had to, she didn't want to.

1241
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:08,180
She traveled back to Michigan because her boyfriend is from there.

1242
00:45:08,180 --> 00:45:10,460
She's older and there was four feet of snow.

1243
00:45:10,460 --> 00:45:13,060
It's like, no, no, no, no, no.

1244
00:45:13,060 --> 00:45:15,020
So they're bitter and they're angry and they're pissed off.

1245
00:45:15,020 --> 00:45:17,060
So I'll try to stay focused here.

1246
00:45:17,060 --> 00:45:19,620
But as far as Yankees fans are concerned, it's like, who wouldn't want to live in New

1247
00:45:19,620 --> 00:45:20,620
York?

1248
00:45:20,620 --> 00:45:21,700
Who wouldn't want to play for the Yankees?

1249
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:23,060
Who wouldn't want to play for the pinstripes?

1250
00:45:23,060 --> 00:45:24,540
Who wouldn't want, there's a lot of people.

1251
00:45:24,540 --> 00:45:26,300
In fact, the majority of the people won't.

1252
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:30,380
So they have this attitude of who wouldn't want to be on the biggest stage.

1253
00:45:30,380 --> 00:45:31,380
I don't know.

1254
00:45:31,380 --> 00:45:33,380
This is a pretty big stage in San Francisco.

1255
00:45:33,380 --> 00:45:38,100
I mean, it's, it baseball is baseball because of the social media reach and the reach of,

1256
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:40,940
of everyone now of, of, you can play in Milwaukee.

1257
00:45:40,940 --> 00:45:42,700
You can play in Minnesota.

1258
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:47,340
You can be as big of a star as you want to be and play for anybody.

1259
00:45:47,340 --> 00:45:50,940
Like the days of LeBron James and the league being pissed off because he's in Cleveland

1260
00:45:50,940 --> 00:45:52,660
and he's got to get out of there.

1261
00:45:52,660 --> 00:45:54,420
Now he's a Laker who was in Miami.

1262
00:45:54,420 --> 00:45:56,020
It doesn't matter where you are.

1263
00:45:56,020 --> 00:45:58,180
You can be a superstar wherever.

1264
00:45:58,180 --> 00:46:03,060
So to me, just personally speaking, I wouldn't want to play for the Yankees.

1265
00:46:03,060 --> 00:46:06,260
When Aaron Judge signed with the Yankees and Papa kept telling me it's the power of the

1266
00:46:06,260 --> 00:46:07,820
pinstripes, I don't care.

1267
00:46:07,820 --> 00:46:10,700
Like it wouldn't have moved me, but I get it.

1268
00:46:10,700 --> 00:46:12,460
But not everybody wants to be a Yankee.

1269
00:46:12,460 --> 00:46:13,460
That's just the way it is.

1270
00:46:13,460 --> 00:46:15,420
Not everybody wants to be in a major market.

1271
00:46:15,420 --> 00:46:20,180
And then the other side of it is when, when people get pissed off about where a guy decides

1272
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:22,540
to play, how do you know?

1273
00:46:22,540 --> 00:46:24,620
Like you, you and I take a job, right?

1274
00:46:24,620 --> 00:46:26,020
You and I take a job.

1275
00:46:26,020 --> 00:46:27,020
Maybe it's at home.

1276
00:46:27,020 --> 00:46:28,020
Maybe it's not.

1277
00:46:28,020 --> 00:46:29,020
Maybe it's away from home.

1278
00:46:29,020 --> 00:46:33,260
Maybe it's like all these different things go into the decision that you make to further

1279
00:46:33,260 --> 00:46:36,820
your career or maybe to just say, look, I'm going to wind it down, whatever the case,

1280
00:46:36,820 --> 00:46:38,500
maybe it's your decision.

1281
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:43,260
Because when people like that gets so pissed off, when Aaron judge, or excuse me, when

1282
00:46:43,260 --> 00:46:47,100
Juan Soto says, I'm playing for the Mets, who's, who's this guy?

1283
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:50,100
Oh, look at that.

1284
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:54,380
Why are you so angry, man?

1285
00:46:54,380 --> 00:46:56,460
Relax.

1286
00:46:56,460 --> 00:46:58,940
But that's, that's an East Coast sports fan to me.

1287
00:46:58,940 --> 00:47:01,580
West Coast, it's like, Hey man, we want to win.

1288
00:47:01,580 --> 00:47:02,580
Maybe I'm wrong.

1289
00:47:02,580 --> 00:47:04,080
We want to win.

1290
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,460
It's just, if we don't, yeah, we're, you know, it's a big deal.

1291
00:47:07,460 --> 00:47:09,540
But you know, there's other things to do.

1292
00:47:09,540 --> 00:47:14,300
What are you going to do when it's freezing ass in New York or Detroit or that's all you

1293
00:47:14,300 --> 00:47:15,300
got?

1294
00:47:15,300 --> 00:47:17,940
So that's why they're so angry.

1295
00:47:17,940 --> 00:47:18,940
Pissed off guy.

1296
00:47:18,940 --> 00:47:19,940
All right.

1297
00:47:19,940 --> 00:47:21,940
Here it is.

1298
00:47:21,940 --> 00:47:23,340
This is from a Saturday night.

1299
00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:24,340
Willi Adamus.

1300
00:47:24,340 --> 00:47:26,860
Did you have, were you like me?

1301
00:47:26,860 --> 00:47:28,500
Did you have to kind of double check?

1302
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:30,900
Like, is this, is this real?

1303
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:33,060
Is this really real?

1304
00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:36,140
But there's Jeff passing with it, the blue checkmark and all that kind of stuff.

1305
00:47:36,140 --> 00:47:40,620
That's a reason why I put Rokie Suzuki up there as the third story there, but there it

1306
00:47:40,620 --> 00:47:45,780
is seven years, 182 million dollars.

1307
00:47:45,780 --> 00:47:50,220
There's willi Adamus getting the deal from Buster and the Giants.

1308
00:47:50,220 --> 00:47:56,060
So first of all, I'd love to hear what you have to say about Buster getting willi Adamus,

1309
00:47:56,060 --> 00:47:57,220
how will he, Adamus fits.

1310
00:47:57,220 --> 00:48:01,540
I do have a lineup here and I do have a great video that I'm playing for you in just seconds.

1311
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:02,540
It won't go anywhere.

1312
00:48:02,540 --> 00:48:05,820
If you're going to go off to work or something, it's like, I got to go hang on.

1313
00:48:05,820 --> 00:48:10,780
But there's a lot of different layers that are really cool about this.

1314
00:48:10,780 --> 00:48:12,420
First and foremost, let's start here.

1315
00:48:12,420 --> 00:48:14,140
Let's start with the baseball side of things, shall we?

1316
00:48:14,140 --> 00:48:15,380
Is that okay?

1317
00:48:15,380 --> 00:48:18,380
Let's start with the baseball side of things and then we'll get into what it means for

1318
00:48:18,380 --> 00:48:22,980
Buster, what it means for the Giants and what they could possibly do at the Winter Manings

1319
00:48:22,980 --> 00:48:23,980
that start this week.

1320
00:48:23,980 --> 00:48:26,020
So this is MLB.com.

1321
00:48:26,020 --> 00:48:32,620
This is Major League Baseball tweeting what the lineup could look like with the Giants.

1322
00:48:32,620 --> 00:48:36,900
And so Jung who leaves at the top, he's unproven.

1323
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:40,580
Tyler Fitzgerald had a good year last year, but I'd like to see it again.

1324
00:48:40,580 --> 00:48:41,700
Willi Adamus hitting third.

1325
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:42,700
I like that.

1326
00:48:42,700 --> 00:48:44,700
LeMontway, Jr. at first base.

1327
00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:46,780
No, I just, I don't want that.

1328
00:48:46,780 --> 00:48:48,540
I want him to upgrade at first base.

1329
00:48:48,540 --> 00:48:50,060
I want him to get some power.

1330
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:52,580
I know that Bryce Eldridge is on the way.

1331
00:48:52,580 --> 00:48:58,500
I don't think it's wise to rush a 23 or excuse me, a 20 year old through the system, not

1332
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,420
23, 20 year old through the system.

1333
00:49:01,420 --> 00:49:03,300
LeMontway, Jr. gets hurt too much for me.

1334
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:06,700
I like him, but if they had a different kind of a lineup, maybe some more power somewhere

1335
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:07,780
else, I could live with them.

1336
00:49:07,780 --> 00:49:11,900
I don't want LeMontway, Jr. at first base, let alone him hitting fourth.

1337
00:49:11,900 --> 00:49:14,820
I love taking walks, but not for my forehater.

1338
00:49:14,820 --> 00:49:15,820
Matt Chapman, that's fine.

1339
00:49:15,820 --> 00:49:17,980
I'd rather have him in a six or seven spot.

1340
00:49:17,980 --> 00:49:21,700
Mike Yastremsky, I think I have made my opinion known on him.

1341
00:49:21,700 --> 00:49:23,580
I think you need more out of right field.

1342
00:49:23,580 --> 00:49:29,820
I'd love it if Yastremsky was a fourth outfielder, came in for defensive purposes, you know, 350,

1343
00:49:29,820 --> 00:49:31,020
400 of bats.

1344
00:49:31,020 --> 00:49:33,660
I don't want him to be my starting right fielder on a team like this.

1345
00:49:33,660 --> 00:49:40,180
If same thing with LeMontway, Jr., if I had more on offense, I could live with Yastremsky,

1346
00:49:40,180 --> 00:49:41,980
but I don't.

1347
00:49:41,980 --> 00:49:45,700
Elliot Ramos, is he first half Elliot Ramos or second half Elliot Ramos?

1348
00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:47,620
Patrick Bailey, we know he's a great defender.

1349
00:49:47,620 --> 00:49:49,420
No, not Grant McCray in left field.

1350
00:49:49,420 --> 00:49:51,660
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1351
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:52,660
no.

1352
00:49:52,660 --> 00:49:53,660
That's not enough hitting.

1353
00:49:53,660 --> 00:49:54,860
So that's their projected lineup.

1354
00:49:54,860 --> 00:49:56,820
That would not be my projected lineup.

1355
00:49:56,820 --> 00:50:01,100
You want to take another quick gander at that and give me your thoughts on it at John Lund

1356
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:02,860
Radio or in the chat.

1357
00:50:02,860 --> 00:50:07,260
So that's what MLB.com thinks could be their projected lineup.

1358
00:50:07,260 --> 00:50:08,900
I don't.

1359
00:50:08,900 --> 00:50:09,900
This is just the start.

1360
00:50:09,900 --> 00:50:11,980
So from a baseball perspective, it's awesome.

1361
00:50:11,980 --> 00:50:17,580
All right, from a baseball perspective, he's a middle of the order hitter, 32 home runs,

1362
00:50:17,580 --> 00:50:19,420
115 RBIs.

1363
00:50:19,420 --> 00:50:22,980
And from what we know is a pretty good clubhouse guy.

1364
00:50:22,980 --> 00:50:27,500
So let me play this video for you and then let's talk more about Willie Adamus and let's

1365
00:50:27,500 --> 00:50:28,900
talk about what this all means.

1366
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:33,740
There's a big picture component to this that you and I need to discuss today.

1367
00:50:33,740 --> 00:50:39,980
But here is his former manager, Pat Murphy, who was recently on a baseball podcast slash

1368
00:50:39,980 --> 00:50:44,660
YouTube channel and loves himself some Willie Adamus.

1369
00:50:44,660 --> 00:50:49,420
The biggest, another thing to take out of this video that is kind of subtle, but really

1370
00:50:49,420 --> 00:50:52,980
not is that the giants are acting like a big market team.

1371
00:50:52,980 --> 00:50:55,260
Milwaukee's a small market team.

1372
00:50:55,260 --> 00:50:56,780
San Francisco's a big market team.

1373
00:50:56,780 --> 00:50:58,780
I've said this before and I'll keep saying it.

1374
00:50:58,780 --> 00:51:05,260
With the A's leaving, this is the single biggest market, single team in a market in baseball,

1375
00:51:05,260 --> 00:51:06,980
not New York, not Chicago, not LA.

1376
00:51:06,980 --> 00:51:08,940
Those are all two team markets.

1377
00:51:08,940 --> 00:51:12,060
Fourth largest media market in the country is the Bay Area in San Francisco and this

1378
00:51:12,060 --> 00:51:13,780
is the largest single team market.

1379
00:51:13,780 --> 00:51:15,100
So start acting like it.

1380
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:17,340
So Pat Murphy just says, we didn't have a chance, man.

1381
00:51:17,340 --> 00:51:18,860
He's going to go to a major market team.

1382
00:51:18,860 --> 00:51:20,700
So this is before Adamus signed.

1383
00:51:48,860 --> 00:51:59,300
All right.

1384
00:51:59,300 --> 00:52:02,660
So there is Pat Murphy, the manager of the brewers.

1385
00:52:02,660 --> 00:52:05,380
So not only the stats we can see, right?

1386
00:52:05,380 --> 00:52:07,780
The 32, 115, et cetera, et cetera.

1387
00:52:07,780 --> 00:52:10,620
He's 29 years old, so he's in the prime of his career.

1388
00:52:10,620 --> 00:52:13,500
But you just heard a couple of things from his manager.

1389
00:52:13,500 --> 00:52:17,380
One on the player loves him, loves his mental makeup, baseball.

1390
00:52:17,380 --> 00:52:18,500
It is so important.

1391
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:20,700
You know this, but I'll just remind you.

1392
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:25,540
In baseball, it's so important of mental makeup and the type of guys you have in the clubhouse

1393
00:52:25,540 --> 00:52:29,380
and those kind of things because you're together in that clubhouse nine months a year.

1394
00:52:29,380 --> 00:52:30,380
You're traveling.

1395
00:52:30,380 --> 00:52:33,660
I know it's like that in the other sports, but you're practicing a lot of time and you're

1396
00:52:33,660 --> 00:52:37,780
playing game after game after game and you're going through what you're going through in

1397
00:52:37,780 --> 00:52:40,700
terms of ups and downs on a season and guys are having injuries.

1398
00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:42,780
And it's just, it's a lot of time being together.

1399
00:52:42,780 --> 00:52:45,660
Believe me, I've talked to a ton of guys.

1400
00:52:45,660 --> 00:52:46,660
You already know that.

1401
00:52:46,660 --> 00:52:50,380
Chemistry to me in baseball is more important than it is in any other sport.

1402
00:52:50,380 --> 00:52:54,980
So when you, yeah, you look at the stats and yeah, you can look at the analytics and all

1403
00:52:54,980 --> 00:52:56,780
those different kind of things.

1404
00:52:56,780 --> 00:53:03,500
But when you hear his manager, Pat Murphy there, say, love the kid, love the guy, love

1405
00:53:03,500 --> 00:53:05,380
the kid, that's something that's going to add.

1406
00:53:05,380 --> 00:53:07,100
And again, Buster Posey knows this.

1407
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:14,700
This is why a baseball ops guy who's not far, honzai, and it's a guy who's actually been

1408
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:18,220
in a clubhouse and knows what chemistry is about.

1409
00:53:18,220 --> 00:53:22,180
That's not a tangible, you know, you look at, you look at far hon in his computer, it does

1410
00:53:22,180 --> 00:53:23,180
not compute.

1411
00:53:23,180 --> 00:53:25,300
No, he gets along in the clubhouse.

1412
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:26,300
Guys like him.

1413
00:53:26,300 --> 00:53:30,100
He's a leader, does not compute, does not compute.

1414
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:31,100
That's not a number.

1415
00:53:31,100 --> 00:53:32,780
That's not an analytic, but it is important.

1416
00:53:32,780 --> 00:53:37,140
And that's why getting Buster Posey in his president of baseball operations and bringing

1417
00:53:37,140 --> 00:53:42,340
in guys who are scouts who actually go to games and see how a guy interacts and what,

1418
00:53:42,340 --> 00:53:43,860
that's important in a clubhouse.

1419
00:53:43,860 --> 00:53:45,740
More important than any other sport.

1420
00:53:45,740 --> 00:53:47,900
So that's one.

1421
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:50,700
And then the other thing is Pat Murphy saying, hey, we're going to lose them to a big market

1422
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:51,700
team.

1423
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:53,540
Hey, the Giants are acting like a major market team.

1424
00:53:53,540 --> 00:53:54,540
Okay.

1425
00:53:54,540 --> 00:53:59,460
Then let's move this conversation on to what it means for the Giants.

1426
00:53:59,460 --> 00:54:03,260
First of all, the most impressive thing, and you and I talked about this on Saturday night

1427
00:54:03,260 --> 00:54:09,340
when we did the emergency podcast slash YouTube channel on William Dhamma's Signing with the

1428
00:54:09,340 --> 00:54:10,340
Giants.

1429
00:54:10,340 --> 00:54:11,780
Buster Posey.

1430
00:54:11,780 --> 00:54:12,780
This is what I've heard.

1431
00:54:12,780 --> 00:54:16,380
Buster Posey zeroed in on William Dhamma's.

1432
00:54:16,380 --> 00:54:18,420
He's also zeroing in on Corbin Burns.

1433
00:54:18,420 --> 00:54:23,340
So he went after both of them, but he made them both feel and I have not looked at anything

1434
00:54:23,340 --> 00:54:24,340
this morning.

1435
00:54:24,340 --> 00:54:26,780
So I don't know that Corbin Burns has done anything yet.

1436
00:54:26,780 --> 00:54:27,780
So let me double check.

1437
00:54:27,780 --> 00:54:29,980
And I am going to talk about Roki Suzuki in a second.

1438
00:54:29,980 --> 00:54:36,500
Let me make sure, make sure that I'm not missing anything is you and I are sitting here.

1439
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:40,420
No, not missing anything because it is the winter meeting.

1440
00:54:40,420 --> 00:54:42,540
So we're sitting there going, okay, what's going on here?

1441
00:54:42,540 --> 00:54:45,700
Okay, nothing, nothing, nothing.

1442
00:54:45,700 --> 00:54:51,980
But what happened was is that Buster Posey said, I'm not chasing after, I'm not chasing

1443
00:54:51,980 --> 00:54:55,020
after the big, the big fish.

1444
00:54:55,020 --> 00:54:56,220
I'm not going to chase after one.

1445
00:54:56,220 --> 00:55:00,060
So I wouldn't have chased after like Aaron Judge, you got to chase after.

1446
00:55:00,060 --> 00:55:01,060
He's a local guy.

1447
00:55:01,060 --> 00:55:02,620
I totally understand that.

1448
00:55:02,620 --> 00:55:03,620
All right.

1449
00:55:03,620 --> 00:55:04,940
Totally understand that.

1450
00:55:04,940 --> 00:55:09,500
But the Harpers and some of these guys and Jean Carlos Stanton and all that kind of stuff,

1451
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:13,580
they were done for the wrong reasons, they were done to turn the turnstiles.

1452
00:55:13,580 --> 00:55:19,140
The Giants weren't always in a position where they were saying, just get a guy because he's

1453
00:55:19,140 --> 00:55:21,460
going to make us better.

1454
00:55:21,460 --> 00:55:25,940
Mike Troutes on the Angels has been there forever, you know this, and they're no good.

1455
00:55:25,940 --> 00:55:27,060
So it doesn't matter.

1456
00:55:27,060 --> 00:55:28,940
It's about getting a bunch of guys together.

1457
00:55:28,940 --> 00:55:29,940
It's about chemistry.

1458
00:55:29,940 --> 00:55:33,340
It's all these different things that it's about, which is Buster Posey's been there

1459
00:55:33,340 --> 00:55:34,980
and absolutely knows it.

1460
00:55:34,980 --> 00:55:37,500
So he didn't, he didn't try to get Juan Soto.

1461
00:55:37,500 --> 00:55:41,380
And then when Juan Soto, you know, told him no, which he was never going to have a chance

1462
00:55:41,380 --> 00:55:43,100
to get, then he had to pivot.

1463
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:48,100
Well, what happened the last two years with Farhan when he had to pivot?

1464
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:50,780
And then he gets, you know, a bunch of scraps.

1465
00:55:50,780 --> 00:55:52,260
None of the signings generally work out.

1466
00:55:52,260 --> 00:55:53,260
Chapman did.

1467
00:55:53,260 --> 00:55:54,260
You got to give it up to him.

1468
00:55:54,260 --> 00:55:57,060
Sinell to a certain extent, but he left.

1469
00:55:57,060 --> 00:56:00,620
But two years ago when it was like Mitch Hanniger and Ross Stripling and all that garbage,

1470
00:56:00,620 --> 00:56:02,180
you got rid of all those guys.

1471
00:56:02,180 --> 00:56:04,500
Jorge Solari already got rid of that guy.

1472
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:08,180
And he panicked at the end and was like, oh my God, I got to get somebody.

1473
00:56:08,180 --> 00:56:11,140
It's 2am, the lights just went on at the bar and I got to get somebody and I got to take

1474
00:56:11,140 --> 00:56:12,140
him home.

1475
00:56:12,140 --> 00:56:13,740
And that's what he did.

1476
00:56:13,740 --> 00:56:14,740
So Buster wasn't doing that.

1477
00:56:14,740 --> 00:56:16,700
He's like, look, I'm not, I'm not going to do that.

1478
00:56:16,700 --> 00:56:18,060
I want somebody who's realistic.

1479
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:19,140
I want to show him the love.

1480
00:56:19,140 --> 00:56:21,460
I want to, I want to go all in on him.

1481
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,940
And that's what got William Domus to be a giant because William Domus wouldn't be a giant

1482
00:56:25,940 --> 00:56:26,940
today.

1483
00:56:26,940 --> 00:56:29,300
And you know this.

1484
00:56:29,300 --> 00:56:33,980
If Juan Soto signed all of a sudden the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Red Sox, all these major market

1485
00:56:33,980 --> 00:56:37,300
teams would then up their offers to William Domus.

1486
00:56:37,300 --> 00:56:39,500
William Domus would not be a giant.

1487
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:43,460
And they, and here's the other thing, seven years 182 for William Domus who's 29 years

1488
00:56:43,460 --> 00:56:46,220
old in the prime of his career.

1489
00:56:46,220 --> 00:56:47,900
That's a good signing.

1490
00:56:47,900 --> 00:56:50,300
Let's go back to Carlos Correa two years ago.

1491
00:56:50,300 --> 00:56:52,820
Sometimes it's the ones you didn't get.

1492
00:56:52,820 --> 00:57:00,300
Carlos Correa was a 13 year, $350 million guy and he failed his physical and everyone,

1493
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:01,300
oh my God.

1494
00:57:01,300 --> 00:57:02,300
Well, guess what?

1495
00:57:02,300 --> 00:57:05,660
You'd be stuck with that guy now at that number.

1496
00:57:05,660 --> 00:57:07,500
William Domus for seven and 182.

1497
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:09,780
Yeah, that's ridiculous money.

1498
00:57:09,780 --> 00:57:10,780
Everybody's overpaid.

1499
00:57:10,780 --> 00:57:12,260
I loved it today with Juan Soto.

1500
00:57:12,260 --> 00:57:13,900
Juan Soto's overpaid.

1501
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:15,500
Everybody's overpaid in sports.

1502
00:57:15,500 --> 00:57:19,020
Not everybody, but you know, when you get to this level, it's silly.

1503
00:57:19,020 --> 00:57:21,100
But seven years, $182 million.

1504
00:57:21,100 --> 00:57:24,500
I would have thought they would have had to overpay, give William Domus double years.

1505
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:25,620
I said that all last week.

1506
00:57:25,620 --> 00:57:28,420
If they're going to get William Domus, it's going to be 10 years.

1507
00:57:28,420 --> 00:57:33,620
It's going to be way more than anyone else would give him, but what Buster Posey did

1508
00:57:33,620 --> 00:57:38,820
is a guy who's been there, look man, you're our focus, not Juan Soto, you.

1509
00:57:38,820 --> 00:57:42,020
And so when William Domus, when all those other teams are like, if Juan Soto, we don't

1510
00:57:42,020 --> 00:57:43,460
get Juan Soto, you're going to be our guy.

1511
00:57:43,460 --> 00:57:46,020
It's like, no, it's human nature.

1512
00:57:46,020 --> 00:57:47,260
Everybody wants to feel loved.

1513
00:57:47,260 --> 00:57:49,220
Well, that's what Buster Posey did.

1514
00:57:49,220 --> 00:57:50,220
Brilliant.

1515
00:57:50,220 --> 00:57:51,220
Thank you.

1516
00:57:51,220 --> 00:57:56,260
Well, Farhan's out chasing the player he can never get.

1517
00:57:56,260 --> 00:57:59,020
Buster Posey went, this is the guy we want, let's focus on that guy and we're going to

1518
00:57:59,020 --> 00:58:00,020
get him.

1519
00:58:00,020 --> 00:58:01,580
And that's what they did.

1520
00:58:01,580 --> 00:58:06,620
It also tells that an early stage of the offseason, other free agents were serious.

1521
00:58:06,620 --> 00:58:10,220
You know, left side of the infield of Matt Chapman and William Domus, which is about

1522
00:58:10,220 --> 00:58:12,420
as good as it gets.

1523
00:58:12,420 --> 00:58:14,340
Tyler Fitzgerald, maybe at second base.

1524
00:58:14,340 --> 00:58:16,180
I don't want Lamont Wade at first.

1525
00:58:16,180 --> 00:58:17,740
Bailey is a good defensive player.

1526
00:58:17,740 --> 00:58:18,740
I can live with that.

1527
00:58:18,740 --> 00:58:22,460
There was a question up on the, let me see if I can find it.

1528
00:58:22,460 --> 00:58:26,180
There was a question up here.

1529
00:58:26,180 --> 00:58:27,900
Jackie's got a, we can talk about Bellinger attack.

1530
00:58:27,900 --> 00:58:29,900
You know problem.

1531
00:58:29,900 --> 00:58:34,260
Somebody asked about, who did you ask about there?

1532
00:58:34,260 --> 00:58:35,260
I lost it there.

1533
00:58:35,260 --> 00:58:36,260
Sorry.

1534
00:58:36,260 --> 00:58:37,260
Lost my train of thought there.

1535
00:58:37,260 --> 00:58:40,340
By the way, let's, let's bring in a conversation on Bellinger just because we had it on Saturday

1536
00:58:40,340 --> 00:58:41,340
night.

1537
00:58:41,340 --> 00:58:43,820
I know that you probably hate Bellinger because he was a Dodger.

1538
00:58:43,820 --> 00:58:47,460
I understand that, that hilarious throw he threw from what was it?

1539
00:58:47,460 --> 00:58:49,660
First base to third base, like 50 feet over his head.

1540
00:58:49,660 --> 00:58:52,380
John Miller had that awesome call on it.

1541
00:58:52,380 --> 00:58:57,940
But if you, if you look at what Bellinger could bring to the table, first base, DH, outfield

1542
00:58:57,940 --> 00:59:02,580
defense, late in the game, you could put him in, I know that Jung-Hoo Lee is a pretty

1543
00:59:02,580 --> 00:59:04,220
good defensive center fielder.

1544
00:59:04,220 --> 00:59:05,900
Mike Yostromsky is probably going to be back.

1545
00:59:05,900 --> 00:59:06,900
He's in right.

1546
00:59:06,900 --> 00:59:08,940
Bellinger could fill it in one of those spots.

1547
00:59:08,940 --> 00:59:09,940
Super athletic.

1548
00:59:09,940 --> 00:59:13,820
I've been screaming from the rooftops about athletes, athletes, athletes, athletes, athletes,

1549
00:59:13,820 --> 00:59:16,340
athletes, athletes, let me slow down.

1550
00:59:16,340 --> 00:59:18,500
Athletes and Cody Bellinger's athletic.

1551
00:59:18,500 --> 00:59:23,660
So look, his contract is $27.5 million next year, that might be too rich for Buster's

1552
00:59:23,660 --> 00:59:24,820
blood.

1553
00:59:24,820 --> 00:59:30,540
So maybe Bellinger isn't, but Chicago is looking, the Cubs are looking to either move Bellinger

1554
00:59:30,540 --> 00:59:31,540
or Suzuki.

1555
00:59:31,540 --> 00:59:33,180
That's another guy that they've talked about moving.

1556
00:59:33,180 --> 00:59:34,420
I wouldn't mind him either.

1557
00:59:34,420 --> 00:59:35,740
He's nice.

1558
00:59:35,740 --> 00:59:39,780
So there's a thought there, but let me go back to Buster for a second and where the

1559
00:59:39,780 --> 00:59:40,780
Giants are.

1560
00:59:40,780 --> 00:59:45,180
It sends a message at the beginning of the winter meetings that serious, that we're serious.

1561
00:59:45,180 --> 00:59:47,740
Now again, this move isn't going to have him catch the Dodgers.

1562
00:59:47,740 --> 00:59:51,060
And it's not even going to have him catch the Diamondbacks or the Padres, but it's

1563
00:59:51,060 --> 00:59:52,660
a sign and they're not done.

1564
00:59:52,660 --> 00:59:53,860
I know that for a fact.

1565
00:59:53,860 --> 00:59:54,860
They're not done.

1566
00:59:54,860 --> 01:00:00,780
That's why I kept checking my Twitter here because I've heard Corbin Burns is close.

1567
01:00:00,780 --> 01:00:04,980
And then I popped up that Roki Suzuki thing and let me do this.

1568
01:00:04,980 --> 01:00:10,460
This is Mark Feinstein who does a nice job, one of the insiders that you trust.

1569
01:00:10,460 --> 01:00:12,620
And he said Roki Suzuki is going to be posted.

1570
01:00:12,620 --> 01:00:14,300
He's 23 years old.

1571
01:00:14,300 --> 01:00:15,860
I told you this last week.

1572
01:00:15,860 --> 01:00:17,060
It's not going to be about money.

1573
01:00:17,060 --> 01:00:18,820
He's going to choose where he wants to go.

1574
01:00:18,820 --> 01:00:22,260
In fact, I'm looking at my Twitter right now, Jim Bowden.

1575
01:00:22,260 --> 01:00:25,700
Roki Suzuki is now expected to sign with a Major League Baseball team between now and

1576
01:00:25,700 --> 01:00:26,700
January 15th.

1577
01:00:26,700 --> 01:00:32,820
And he hashtags Padres, Metz, Yankees, Red Sox, Reyes, Cubs, Dodgers, Phillies.

1578
01:00:32,820 --> 01:00:36,780
I know for a fact that the Giants are in on him as well.

1579
01:00:36,780 --> 01:00:44,140
And they could not only get Corbin Burns who's going to cost you $200 million, but Suzuki's

1580
01:00:44,140 --> 01:00:45,140
not a money grab.

1581
01:00:45,140 --> 01:00:47,260
Suzuki's not going to cost you $200 million.

1582
01:00:47,260 --> 01:00:50,860
If you're not familiar with it, he's 23 years old.

1583
01:00:50,860 --> 01:00:53,900
You probably saw him at the World Baseball Classic.

1584
01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:55,340
He's got nasty stuff.

1585
01:00:55,340 --> 01:00:58,740
Still needs a little bit of refinement, but he can throw over 100 miles an hour, a bunch

1586
01:00:58,740 --> 01:00:59,740
of different pitches.

1587
01:00:59,740 --> 01:01:01,620
And he's just going to go to the team he wants.

1588
01:01:01,620 --> 01:01:05,740
A couple of years from now, he could make that big Yamamoto money, but more and more

1589
01:01:05,740 --> 01:01:08,420
of these Japanese players don't want to wait that long.

1590
01:01:08,420 --> 01:01:09,420
They'd rather get over here.

1591
01:01:09,420 --> 01:01:13,820
They know they can get endorsement money right away from Japan.

1592
01:01:13,820 --> 01:01:16,380
They can obviously live on that kind of money, make a decent living.

1593
01:01:16,380 --> 01:01:20,340
And then in a couple of years, they can cash in and they just want to bet on themselves.

1594
01:01:20,340 --> 01:01:23,020
They cash in in a couple of years and then they make their big money.

1595
01:01:23,020 --> 01:01:28,940
They're not obsessed as much with money right out of the gate as American players are.

1596
01:01:28,940 --> 01:01:35,580
So Roki Suzuki, you could afford, so you got Adamus, you could afford Suzuki and Burns.

1597
01:01:35,580 --> 01:01:39,140
Now I don't know that Corbin Burns, and I don't know that that's going to happen.

1598
01:01:39,140 --> 01:01:44,500
They got Corbin Burns and they got Willie Adamus as greedy as this sounds.

1599
01:01:44,500 --> 01:01:48,060
I still wouldn't think that that would be enough in the off season because we just showed

1600
01:01:48,060 --> 01:01:49,060
you the lineup.

1601
01:01:49,060 --> 01:01:51,340
Do I need to go back to that?

1602
01:01:51,340 --> 01:01:54,620
I love that Willie Adamus is sitting in the middle of that lineup, but I don't like Lamont

1603
01:01:54,620 --> 01:01:58,980
Wade Jr. hitting fourth.

1604
01:01:58,980 --> 01:02:00,740
Tyler Fitzgerald maybe.

1605
01:02:00,740 --> 01:02:01,740
I like Ramos.

1606
01:02:01,740 --> 01:02:02,940
Oh, I know what I was going to do.

1607
01:02:02,940 --> 01:02:06,180
Somebody had asked a little bit earlier about Ramos tailing off in the second half.

1608
01:02:06,180 --> 01:02:07,180
He did.

1609
01:02:07,180 --> 01:02:10,340
He used to be an all star in the first half of the year, but he tailed off greatly in

1610
01:02:10,340 --> 01:02:11,620
the second half.

1611
01:02:11,620 --> 01:02:13,540
So it's not like he's a known commodity.

1612
01:02:13,540 --> 01:02:18,500
He is to a certain extent, but still he did it for basically half a year.

1613
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:22,140
Fitzgerald did it for three quarters of a year.

1614
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:25,820
So there's still questions in that lineup, and I love that they got Willie Adamus and

1615
01:02:25,820 --> 01:02:31,180
the message that it sends and all those kind of things, but they need to work more on that

1616
01:02:31,180 --> 01:02:32,620
lineup as much as anything else.

1617
01:02:32,620 --> 01:02:35,380
They got to get some more pitching, but they got to work on that lineup.

1618
01:02:35,380 --> 01:02:37,380
So give me your thoughts on that.

1619
01:02:37,380 --> 01:02:38,780
All right, we've got over a lot today.

1620
01:02:38,780 --> 01:02:39,780
A lot of Niners, a lot of baseball.

1621
01:02:39,780 --> 01:02:40,780
Give me your thoughts.

1622
01:02:40,780 --> 01:02:42,900
Let me get to the, the tech sign as well.

1623
01:02:42,900 --> 01:02:43,900
What do you think?

1624
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:47,060
What do you think that, what guy, is there a certain guy that you'd want the 49ers to

1625
01:02:47,060 --> 01:02:49,820
go after a certain person that they'd want to go after you?

1626
01:02:49,820 --> 01:02:51,300
Do you like this Suzuki idea?

1627
01:02:51,300 --> 01:02:52,860
Do you want Corbin Burns?

1628
01:02:52,860 --> 01:02:56,380
That's where a lot of people are saying Corbin Burns.

1629
01:02:56,380 --> 01:03:00,460
Mike says, do you see the current Giants roster as being a top five base stealing team?

1630
01:03:00,460 --> 01:03:01,460
I'm glad, Mike.

1631
01:03:01,460 --> 01:03:03,500
You brought that up and welcome.

1632
01:03:03,500 --> 01:03:05,780
Really, Adonis stole, stole 21 bases last year.

1633
01:03:05,780 --> 01:03:09,500
So if you start looking at this thing, Adonis is an athlete.

1634
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:12,500
Fitzgerald is an athlete.

1635
01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:15,660
Matt Chapman is an athlete, very underrated base runner.

1636
01:03:15,660 --> 01:03:16,660
Go to the outfield.

1637
01:03:16,660 --> 01:03:18,540
Ramos, okay, as an athlete.

1638
01:03:18,540 --> 01:03:19,540
Jung-Hoo Lee is an athlete.

1639
01:03:19,540 --> 01:03:20,620
Mike Yostromsky is an athlete.

1640
01:03:20,620 --> 01:03:24,220
The one thing that I keep screaming and yelling about is you got to get more athletic in a

1641
01:03:24,220 --> 01:03:25,220
ballpark like this.

1642
01:03:25,220 --> 01:03:27,700
You play half your games in this ballpark.

1643
01:03:27,700 --> 01:03:32,220
And for some reason, Farhan just never came around to the fact that you've got to, you've

1644
01:03:32,220 --> 01:03:35,380
got to make your team fit your ballpark.

1645
01:03:35,380 --> 01:03:36,380
That's just what it is.

1646
01:03:36,380 --> 01:03:39,500
I want them to get more athletic.

1647
01:03:39,500 --> 01:03:41,420
But look, you got to love what Buster did.

1648
01:03:41,420 --> 01:03:42,620
It sends a message.

1649
01:03:42,620 --> 01:03:44,580
They're a major market team again.

1650
01:03:44,580 --> 01:03:47,860
He went, you know, is Buster going to be a guy who can close deals?

1651
01:03:47,860 --> 01:03:50,060
I think so.

1652
01:03:50,060 --> 01:03:53,500
And he knows that they're not done because that's what we keep hearing that Corbin Burns

1653
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:54,500
is a guy.

1654
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:56,820
And he's not, they're not running that lineup out there.

1655
01:03:56,820 --> 01:04:00,780
That lineup I just showed that MLB.com did, they're not running that lineup out there.

1656
01:04:00,780 --> 01:04:04,700
So is he officially posted, Perak Dapa?

1657
01:04:04,700 --> 01:04:05,700
Is he officially posted?

1658
01:04:05,700 --> 01:04:08,820
Yeah, I think that all we can offer him is two million.

1659
01:04:08,820 --> 01:04:10,220
Yeah, it's the, you're right.

1660
01:04:10,220 --> 01:04:11,420
It's the international money.

1661
01:04:11,420 --> 01:04:17,540
So maybe I'm wrong on that, but I have heard that the, that the giants have interest there.

1662
01:04:17,540 --> 01:04:21,780
All right, let me get to a little bit of, this is a different caboose and I was going

1663
01:04:21,780 --> 01:04:23,740
to play the caboose pistol today.

1664
01:04:23,740 --> 01:04:25,460
This goes back to something I said last week.

1665
01:04:25,460 --> 01:04:29,020
You don't get credit for, for something that you said you were going to do.

1666
01:04:29,020 --> 01:04:31,740
Honey, I almost bought you that diamond rig.

1667
01:04:31,740 --> 01:04:32,740
Damn.

1668
01:04:32,740 --> 01:04:33,740
Can I have sex?

1669
01:04:33,740 --> 01:04:34,740
No, you can't.

1670
01:04:34,740 --> 01:04:36,940
You don't get any credit for something you almost did.

1671
01:04:36,940 --> 01:04:38,580
Man, I almost brought you a coffee this morning.

1672
01:04:38,580 --> 01:04:39,580
Sorry.

1673
01:04:39,580 --> 01:04:40,780
Almost got you a donut this morning.

1674
01:04:40,780 --> 01:04:42,180
It makes you more pissed off, doesn't it?

1675
01:04:42,180 --> 01:04:45,340
Like somebody says they almost got, it's like, almost.

1676
01:04:45,340 --> 01:04:46,340
That's worse.

1677
01:04:46,340 --> 01:04:48,140
Don't even tell, don't tell me you almost got me something.

1678
01:04:48,140 --> 01:04:50,140
I want to hear that.

1679
01:04:50,140 --> 01:04:54,140
Anyway, we went on that tangent last week, remember?

1680
01:04:54,140 --> 01:04:55,500
All right.

1681
01:04:55,500 --> 01:05:01,020
So for the caboose pistol today, you probably know this guy, but I don't know.

1682
01:05:01,020 --> 01:05:02,540
I've just been obsessed lately with it.

1683
01:05:02,540 --> 01:05:08,180
This isn't a traditional caboose pistol, but it is a caboose pistol nonetheless.

1684
01:05:08,180 --> 01:05:10,500
So you see that guy, Steve Inman, right there.

1685
01:05:10,500 --> 01:05:12,100
And you probably know who he is.

1686
01:05:12,100 --> 01:05:15,540
MMA Sports Commentator, Narrates, Random Videos.

1687
01:05:15,540 --> 01:05:18,340
You've probably seen this guy do a bunch of stuff.

1688
01:05:18,340 --> 01:05:23,140
But for some reason, because it's the, the Christmas season, and I just, I've probably

1689
01:05:23,140 --> 01:05:26,900
watched this thing five times and just laughed my ass off every single time.

1690
01:05:26,900 --> 01:05:29,900
And I can't, I don't know how much you do this anymore.

1691
01:05:29,900 --> 01:05:31,420
But anyway, Steve's great.

1692
01:05:31,420 --> 01:05:34,820
I'm going to play a clip for you in just a second, but I don't know if you do this.

1693
01:05:34,820 --> 01:05:37,460
I'm a grown ass man.

1694
01:05:37,460 --> 01:05:42,460
Like, I shouldn't be like a kid and just, like I come across certain things on social

1695
01:05:42,460 --> 01:05:45,420
media or things like that, and I'll watch the videos over and over and laugh, and then

1696
01:05:45,420 --> 01:05:47,420
I'll go to the next one, the next one, the next one.

1697
01:05:47,420 --> 01:05:48,860
All of a sudden, I'm like 20 minutes in.

1698
01:05:48,860 --> 01:05:50,380
Like, what am I doing?

1699
01:05:50,380 --> 01:05:52,020
I have stuff to do.

1700
01:05:52,020 --> 01:05:57,380
Like I can't sit here and watch videos like my son does, who's 20 years old in college,

1701
01:05:57,380 --> 01:06:00,140
and he's like, you know, he's taking all my money and doing all that stuff, but he's

1702
01:06:00,140 --> 01:06:01,140
watching.

1703
01:06:01,140 --> 01:06:03,260
Or, you know, we got a seventh grader in the house around here.

1704
01:06:03,260 --> 01:06:06,380
We got a freshman in high school around here.

1705
01:06:06,380 --> 01:06:07,940
Like, they can do that stuff.

1706
01:06:07,940 --> 01:06:08,940
They can sit in the room.

1707
01:06:08,940 --> 01:06:09,940
They can laugh.

1708
01:06:09,940 --> 01:06:10,940
They can watch YouTube videos and all that stuff.

1709
01:06:10,940 --> 01:06:11,940
I can't do that.

1710
01:06:11,940 --> 01:06:12,940
I'm a grown adult.

1711
01:06:12,940 --> 01:06:13,940
I can't do that.

1712
01:06:13,940 --> 01:06:15,060
But then I find myself doing it.

1713
01:06:15,060 --> 01:06:20,340
So for today's caboose pistol, and again, there's Steve's, you should follow his page.

1714
01:06:20,340 --> 01:06:24,540
If you're just, I guess it's because we need mindless stuff sometimes.

1715
01:06:24,540 --> 01:06:27,980
You know, things aren't going great or whatever, the economy, you're pissed off.

1716
01:06:27,980 --> 01:06:28,980
You're like, I got it.

1717
01:06:28,980 --> 01:06:29,980
I need a break.

1718
01:06:29,980 --> 01:06:33,660
I tell my wife all the time, we'll watch mindless TV, stupid shows, whatever, for some people

1719
01:06:33,660 --> 01:06:34,900
that sports.

1720
01:06:34,900 --> 01:06:37,980
So sometimes you do need kind of an outlet.

1721
01:06:37,980 --> 01:06:39,540
So anyway, I'm sure you've watched him.

1722
01:06:39,540 --> 01:06:43,460
But if you haven't, and again, let's get into the Christmas season a little bit.

1723
01:06:43,460 --> 01:06:44,860
And here's just a clip of it.

1724
01:06:44,860 --> 01:06:48,900
But I find myself just watching his stuff and going, God, I need to grow up.

1725
01:06:48,900 --> 01:06:50,780
But here you go.

1726
01:07:18,900 --> 01:07:27,660
Am I, am I soft morick?

1727
01:07:27,660 --> 01:07:28,660
Am I immature?

1728
01:07:28,660 --> 01:07:29,660
Possibly.

1729
01:07:29,660 --> 01:07:31,060
You can tell me.

1730
01:07:31,060 --> 01:07:32,980
I'm using that as today's caboose pistol.

1731
01:07:32,980 --> 01:07:35,460
I'll get back to the regular wacky stories tomorrow.

1732
01:07:35,460 --> 01:07:37,860
But I just, I don't know why that struck me.

1733
01:07:37,860 --> 01:07:39,220
I think it was, I woke up in the middle of the night.

1734
01:07:39,220 --> 01:07:40,660
I told you this at the beginning of the show.

1735
01:07:40,660 --> 01:07:41,660
I was asleep.

1736
01:07:41,660 --> 01:07:42,660
I was, I was watching everything.

1737
01:07:42,660 --> 01:07:45,300
I'd done a bunch of stuff all weekend long.

1738
01:07:45,300 --> 01:07:50,980
And then I just, end of the Chargers chiefs game and watch it after Matthew Wright, the

1739
01:07:50,980 --> 01:07:54,540
former Niners kicker, doinks went in and I fell asleep.

1740
01:07:54,540 --> 01:07:56,860
And then I woke up like one in the morning, like I got to do all this stuff.

1741
01:07:56,860 --> 01:08:00,700
And then I found myself getting caught on these videos and I'm like, stop.

1742
01:08:00,700 --> 01:08:01,700
You got stuff to do.

1743
01:08:01,700 --> 01:08:03,300
And like you said, who said that?

1744
01:08:03,300 --> 01:08:04,300
I'm a man.

1745
01:08:04,300 --> 01:08:05,300
I'm 40.

1746
01:08:05,300 --> 01:08:06,300
Who did that?

1747
01:08:06,300 --> 01:08:08,340
I got to give you credit for that.

1748
01:08:08,340 --> 01:08:09,460
But it's like, come on, man.

1749
01:08:09,460 --> 01:08:11,860
I can't be doing this stuff, but still.

1750
01:08:11,860 --> 01:08:14,980
And then it was like, you know, grandma got ran over by a reindeer.

1751
01:08:14,980 --> 01:08:18,300
It's the holidays and all that kind of stuff.

1752
01:08:18,300 --> 01:08:21,180
So anyway, that's, that's how I was.

1753
01:08:21,180 --> 01:08:22,700
Mike says burns then Vlad.

1754
01:08:22,700 --> 01:08:25,780
You know, I read a thing on Vlad this morning.

1755
01:08:25,780 --> 01:08:31,220
And if you're with us on Saturday night, when we did the breaking news, YouTube show slash

1756
01:08:31,220 --> 01:08:36,060
podcast on, on Willie Dhamma's signing, we all were like, okay, who's next?

1757
01:08:36,060 --> 01:08:37,060
Who's next?

1758
01:08:37,060 --> 01:08:38,060
And we're throwing names against the wall.

1759
01:08:38,060 --> 01:08:39,060
How much fun is that?

1760
01:08:39,060 --> 01:08:42,420
By the way, as a fan, like your team is actually relevant and signing free agents.

1761
01:08:42,420 --> 01:08:45,580
And then therefore you can go into this conversation and be like, could we get this guy?

1762
01:08:45,580 --> 01:08:46,580
Could we get this guy?

1763
01:08:46,580 --> 01:08:48,220
We have this guy.

1764
01:08:48,220 --> 01:08:52,340
Somebody tweeted out today, one of the baseball insiders, one of the many on social media

1765
01:08:52,340 --> 01:08:55,740
with Juan Soto getting his outrageous, what is it?

1766
01:08:55,740 --> 01:08:56,740
15, 765.

1767
01:08:56,740 --> 01:08:58,620
Is that what it is?

1768
01:08:58,620 --> 01:08:59,620
15, 765.

1769
01:08:59,620 --> 01:09:00,620
Let me go back to that New York.

1770
01:09:00,620 --> 01:09:02,620
Is that what it is?

1771
01:09:02,620 --> 01:09:03,620
Yeah.

1772
01:09:03,620 --> 01:09:05,900
15, 765 deal.

1773
01:09:05,900 --> 01:09:08,900
The biggest free agent next off season is Vlad Guerrero.

1774
01:09:08,900 --> 01:09:09,900
And I thought Vlad was older.

1775
01:09:09,900 --> 01:09:11,460
He's 25.

1776
01:09:11,460 --> 01:09:14,980
So I doubt that, you know, maybe there's going to be somebody mid-season or something

1777
01:09:14,980 --> 01:09:17,980
like that that might trade for Vlad if Toronto's out of it.

1778
01:09:17,980 --> 01:09:21,060
But we forget oftentimes because it's up in Canada.

1779
01:09:21,060 --> 01:09:22,580
I don't know if you've ever been up to Toronto.

1780
01:09:22,580 --> 01:09:23,580
It's awesome.

1781
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:25,300
Toronto's a major market team.

1782
01:09:25,300 --> 01:09:26,860
They were going after Juan Soto.

1783
01:09:26,860 --> 01:09:27,860
They're not Milwaukee.

1784
01:09:27,860 --> 01:09:29,860
You know, they're not Minnesota.

1785
01:09:29,860 --> 01:09:32,220
They're not going to just sell off guys because they get expensive.

1786
01:09:32,220 --> 01:09:36,700
Now if they're not very good, they might sell off Vlad Guerrero.

1787
01:09:36,700 --> 01:09:39,500
But Vlad's going to get, Vlad is going to get the bag.

1788
01:09:39,500 --> 01:09:43,620
And I'm not saying he wouldn't come here, but I'm simply saying that would you trade

1789
01:09:43,620 --> 01:09:45,940
for him with one year left on his deal?

1790
01:09:45,940 --> 01:09:48,380
Would you have to work out a deal for Vlad?

1791
01:09:48,380 --> 01:09:49,380
That's what I'm talking about.

1792
01:09:49,380 --> 01:09:51,260
But then you're going to have to include Bryce Eldridge.

1793
01:09:51,260 --> 01:09:54,580
And if you know me at all, I'm not afraid of doing those kind of things.

1794
01:09:54,580 --> 01:09:56,860
Too many GMs, too many fans.

1795
01:09:56,860 --> 01:09:58,300
Like they want to hoard prospects.

1796
01:09:58,300 --> 01:10:03,260
I want to, part of the reason you have a minor league system is so that you can trade those

1797
01:10:03,260 --> 01:10:04,260
guys.

1798
01:10:04,260 --> 01:10:08,100
You identify the guys you want to keep and you trade the guys that can bring you value.

1799
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:12,380
And nine times out of 10, I tell you this all the time, nine times out of 10, the team

1800
01:10:12,380 --> 01:10:15,740
who gets the best player wins the trade.

1801
01:10:15,740 --> 01:10:17,220
Nine times out of 10.

1802
01:10:17,220 --> 01:10:19,100
I know that there's Zach Wheeler situations.

1803
01:10:19,100 --> 01:10:22,460
I know that, you know, you can go through the years and there's certain guys and I'm

1804
01:10:22,460 --> 01:10:24,380
like, ah, we shouldn't have traded that guy.

1805
01:10:24,380 --> 01:10:26,820
But most of the time it's like, who were those guys?

1806
01:10:26,820 --> 01:10:28,420
Oh, who is that guy?

1807
01:10:28,420 --> 01:10:30,020
Why did you do that?

1808
01:10:30,020 --> 01:10:31,020
Huh?

1809
01:10:31,020 --> 01:10:34,700
So most of the time you win the trade if you get the best player.

1810
01:10:34,700 --> 01:10:35,700
That's all I'm saying.

1811
01:10:35,700 --> 01:10:40,100
So Vlad's 25 and he's going to get the major bag next season.

1812
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:42,580
Now is he worth it?

1813
01:10:42,580 --> 01:10:46,180
Let's go back to what I was saying earlier about the type of player that you want.

1814
01:10:46,180 --> 01:10:49,780
If I'm going to pay somebody that kind of one, so do kind of money, he's going to be

1815
01:10:49,780 --> 01:10:50,780
the guy on the field.

1816
01:10:50,780 --> 01:10:52,260
He's going to be the guy off the field.

1817
01:10:52,260 --> 01:10:53,620
He's going to turn styles.

1818
01:10:53,620 --> 01:10:54,620
He's going to ratings.

1819
01:10:54,620 --> 01:10:57,940
All, you know, he's, you know, he's the American Idol.

1820
01:10:57,940 --> 01:10:58,940
He's everything.

1821
01:10:58,940 --> 01:11:01,940
If I'm going to pay that kind of money, I'm going to go double digit ears, all that kind

1822
01:11:01,940 --> 01:11:02,940
of stuff.

1823
01:11:02,940 --> 01:11:03,940
You're American Idol.

1824
01:11:03,940 --> 01:11:05,780
You're going to get the full-flaw.

1825
01:11:05,780 --> 01:11:06,780
That's just how it is.

1826
01:11:06,780 --> 01:11:10,140
Now I know you got to overpay for guys, but I don't look at Adamus as an overpay.

1827
01:11:10,140 --> 01:11:13,580
I'm saying if I'm going to go out and get the number one guy on the market and I'm going

1828
01:11:13,580 --> 01:11:17,780
to pay all that kind of money, you know, Vlad's not a great defender.

1829
01:11:17,780 --> 01:11:18,780
Blade third.

1830
01:11:18,780 --> 01:11:19,780
Now he plays first.

1831
01:11:19,780 --> 01:11:20,780
DH is a lot.

1832
01:11:20,780 --> 01:11:23,460
That's not the kind of guy I'm going to give that kind of money to.

1833
01:11:23,460 --> 01:11:25,820
I'm looking more as far as the first baseman is concerned.

1834
01:11:25,820 --> 01:11:27,180
I'm looking like a year or two.

1835
01:11:27,180 --> 01:11:32,380
Can I get a year or two if Eldridge is supposed to be all that?

1836
01:11:32,380 --> 01:11:34,140
You know, Christian Walker's name has been brought up.

1837
01:11:34,140 --> 01:11:36,180
We were just talking about Ballinger, somebody like that.

1838
01:11:36,180 --> 01:11:37,180
Don't get me wrong though.

1839
01:11:37,180 --> 01:11:38,180
I'd love it.

1840
01:11:38,180 --> 01:11:39,180
They need a first baseman.

1841
01:11:39,180 --> 01:11:43,500
They need some power out of the first baseman.

1842
01:11:43,500 --> 01:11:46,260
Mike says, agree with you on Vlad.

1843
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:47,260
Love that song.

1844
01:11:47,260 --> 01:11:48,260
Let's see.

1845
01:11:48,260 --> 01:11:49,260
What else do we got?

1846
01:11:49,260 --> 01:11:50,260
The tacky.

1847
01:11:50,260 --> 01:11:55,900
It's good to see everybody, by the way.

1848
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:59,180
Just make sure that you please spread the word.

1849
01:11:59,180 --> 01:12:01,140
Let me know at John Lund ready.

1850
01:12:01,140 --> 01:12:02,740
Let me know if 8 AM is good for you.

1851
01:12:02,740 --> 01:12:06,420
Want to make sure that we're doing this to the best of our ability around here.

1852
01:12:06,420 --> 01:12:08,380
So 8 AM, if it works for you, let us know.

1853
01:12:08,380 --> 01:12:10,060
I always repost this.

1854
01:12:10,060 --> 01:12:15,260
So I repost this show on the YouTube channel at John Lund Talks Pod.

1855
01:12:15,260 --> 01:12:17,660
And then also, we got a podcast going on.

1856
01:12:17,660 --> 01:12:19,460
So if you didn't know we had the podcast, it's simple.

1857
01:12:19,460 --> 01:12:20,540
It's at John Lund Talks.

1858
01:12:20,540 --> 01:12:21,540
Same kind of a thing.

1859
01:12:21,540 --> 01:12:24,020
You can get the podcast, wherever you get your favorite podcast.

1860
01:12:24,020 --> 01:12:25,700
Spotify, Apple, blah, blah, blah.

1861
01:12:25,700 --> 01:12:27,780
You can get it wherever you get your podcast.

1862
01:12:27,780 --> 01:12:30,540
So we also post this in a podcast version.

1863
01:12:30,540 --> 01:12:33,860
So if you missed any of the show today, I'll post it in just a few minutes right after

1864
01:12:33,860 --> 01:12:34,860
the show.

1865
01:12:34,860 --> 01:12:38,180
And then you can listen to it at your heart's content.

1866
01:12:38,180 --> 01:12:42,020
So however you want to do that is absolutely fine.

1867
01:12:42,020 --> 01:12:45,060
My wife just opened the door and my dog's bothering me if I seem distracted.

1868
01:12:45,060 --> 01:12:47,260
But I am a professional and I will not be distracted.

1869
01:12:47,260 --> 01:12:48,260
All right.

1870
01:12:48,260 --> 01:12:50,740
Give me your thoughts on anything that we talked about today.

1871
01:12:50,740 --> 01:12:54,420
Remember to follow all of my social media at John Lund Radio, all those kind of things.

1872
01:12:54,420 --> 01:12:59,220
I told you I had to go all in on everything.

1873
01:12:59,220 --> 01:13:00,220
So that's what I'm doing.

1874
01:13:00,220 --> 01:13:01,220
I'm doing all the social media.

1875
01:13:01,220 --> 01:13:02,420
I joined all of them.

1876
01:13:02,420 --> 01:13:05,660
Even if like some of them, I was like, what the hell, YouTube?

1877
01:13:05,660 --> 01:13:11,540
The podcast page, of course, Blue Sky, Facebook, Instagram, threads, blah, blah, blah.

1878
01:13:11,540 --> 01:13:14,980
So make sure that you check out any of those, whatever is best for you.

1879
01:13:14,980 --> 01:13:15,980
That is fine.

1880
01:13:15,980 --> 01:13:18,860
But make sure you hit up the YouTube channel at John Lund Radio.

1881
01:13:18,860 --> 01:13:19,860
When news breaks.

1882
01:13:19,860 --> 01:13:21,620
So this is huge this week to know.

1883
01:13:21,620 --> 01:13:23,820
When news breaks, we'll break right in.

1884
01:13:23,820 --> 01:13:26,900
So if it's a middle afternoon, jump on the channel.

1885
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:28,300
If it's a night, jump on the channel.

1886
01:13:28,300 --> 01:13:31,580
We had a great time. I know Taki was there and a number of you guys were there.

1887
01:13:31,580 --> 01:13:35,300
On Saturday night, we had a great time with the signing.

1888
01:13:35,300 --> 01:13:38,660
When we got word that William Domos was going to be a giant.

1889
01:13:38,660 --> 01:13:39,740
So that was very, very cool.

1890
01:13:39,740 --> 01:13:42,500
So make sure that you jump in because we had a great time.

1891
01:13:42,500 --> 01:13:43,500
People are shooting whiskey.

1892
01:13:43,500 --> 01:13:44,500
It was awesome.

1893
01:13:44,500 --> 01:13:45,500
What a great time.

1894
01:13:45,500 --> 01:13:48,020
So anyway, make sure all day long, not just eight o'clock in the morning.

1895
01:13:48,020 --> 01:13:51,260
And if that time works for you, let me know.

1896
01:13:51,260 --> 01:13:52,260
Thanks as always.

1897
01:13:52,260 --> 01:13:53,260
Thanks for hanging out.

1898
01:13:53,260 --> 01:13:54,260
We had a great time.

1899
01:13:54,260 --> 01:13:56,780
Oh, by the way, I was going to mention, if you listen to the Krug or if you watch the

1900
01:13:56,780 --> 01:13:59,060
Krug show, I go on the Krug show every Monday.

1901
01:13:59,060 --> 01:14:01,020
We will have the collaborations.

1902
01:14:01,020 --> 01:14:05,140
I know I keep saying that, but we're getting the guests together this week.

1903
01:14:05,140 --> 01:14:06,700
And I will be on with Larry Krug.

1904
01:14:06,700 --> 01:14:08,860
We always have a great time talking Niners and other stuff.

1905
01:14:08,860 --> 01:14:10,140
And I've known Krug for like 15 years.

1906
01:14:10,140 --> 01:14:12,620
We used to live across the street from each other.

1907
01:14:12,620 --> 01:14:17,060
So if you have any questions, comments, thoughts, you didn't get a question or comment in at

1908
01:14:17,060 --> 01:14:21,780
John Lund radio on Twitter or many of the social media places I just told you.

1909
01:14:21,780 --> 01:14:24,180
Tell your friends.

1910
01:14:24,180 --> 01:14:25,940
Listen to the podcast.

1911
01:14:25,940 --> 01:14:26,940
You don't have to agree.

1912
01:14:26,940 --> 01:14:27,940
I always say that.

1913
01:14:27,940 --> 01:14:28,940
Have a great Monday.

1914
01:14:28,940 --> 01:14:31,540
I really appreciate you hanging out.

1915
01:14:31,540 --> 01:14:33,860
And we will talk at you soon.

1916
01:14:33,860 --> 01:14:59,820
John Lund Unleashed.
