[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if the request does not match any of the resources in the cache, then we can let the app continue to try and fetch it from the server. Obviously, if you're offline, it's not going to work, but we can allow it to try and fetch the resource.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at the very least, we should be intercepting requests for all of our shell assets that we cashed in the last lesson and returning those even when we're offline so that when we are offline, the app can still use them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not only when we're just offline, also even when there is a connection because using cached assets results in a much quicker loading time and that is going to lead to a better user experience. Alright then, so we've pre-cached our different requests and assets, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now what we want to do is when the browser tries to get any of these, we need to intercept those fetch requests and we need to check our cache for these different things right here because we have those stored in our cache right now. We can see in site static, we have these different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here. And if we click on one of these, we can see the actual CSS file down here. So what we want to do


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is intercept any of these requests for these resources, uh, when a fetch request is initiated and then we want to search our cache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, remember we added this fetch event listener and this fires every time there is a fetch request. So every time the browser tries to go out and get a resource, this is going to fire. And this is where we can intercept that request. So what I'm going to do is actually just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uncomment this and save it just so we can see this event object again inside the console. So let me now go back to the console and we can see all these different things. And what I'd like to do is just expand one of these. And if we scroll down, we can see that it's got a request right here. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this request object contains all information about the request, including where it's going to, where it's trying to get this from. Now, what we do in our cache is when we do this method up here at all, we're going to the server and we're saying, okay, we want to cache all of these different requests. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when we look up here, inside the cache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the responses and the requests. So, they're basically like key value pairs. This is the request and we get a response down here. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what we want to do is now see whenever a fetch request is made, if the request is inside our cache, if it is, then what we're going to do is return the asset from the cache, that response. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then let me now comment this back out because we don't need that anymore. And what I'm going to do is use the event object and I'm going to use a method on this object called respond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what this allows us to do is basically pause that fetch event, right? And respond with our own custom event. So what we want to do is respond with a resource from the cache or a response from the cache. We don't want it to go all the way to the server, right? So that's what we're going to do in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the first thing we need to do now is check in our caches if something matches up to the request that has been intercepted. So every time there's a fetch request, we're going to find this function and we want to see if something is in our cache which matches that request. So the way we do that is by saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] .request Remember we saw that object on the event object before when we logged it to the console right here. So we're saying, okay, look in our caches and see if you can match something which has this request. So any of these things up here. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what this is going to try and do. Now this here is asynchronous. It takes some time to do. It returns to us a promise, which we can then tack on a then method to, which is going to fire a callback function when this is done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this callback function gives us a cache response into this function. Oops, not square brackets. We want curly braces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this cache response is going to be one of two things. It's either going to be the response which matches up to this request. So say for example, uh, we're requesting from our application, one of these resources, which is inside our cache. Then what this is going to be is the response that we pre-cached. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all of this stuff right here that we pre-cached, that is what this value is going to be if there is a match and we can find it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this request is for something that is not inside the cache already, then this is going to be empty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we only want to return this if it has actually a response and it's stored inside our cache. So what we're going to do right here is return a value. We're going to return the cache response.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's the response that we stored in the cache for this request. And that is going to return it back to the browser so it can do something with it. And this is instead of it having to go all the way to the server for that response, we've just got it from the cache now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now like I said, it might not be in our cache. If they're requesting something that we've not previously added to the cache up here, then this is going to be empty and we don't want to return something empty here. So what we're going to use is double pipe symbol to say basically, return this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it's empty, return whatever's on the other side of these double pipes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what we want to return over here is the actual fetch request that was initially made. So the way we do that is by saying fetch and we want to fetch the events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is basically us saying, okay, well at this point, if we don't have it in the cache and this is empty, then don't return this, return this over here instead, which is just carrying on the initial fetch. So that's what this is doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's returning it from the cache. If we have it, if it's not there, then we're just going to carry on with the normal fetch request and get that resource from the server. Or at least we're going to try to do that. If we're offline, it might fail, but at least we're going to try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we're going to see all of this stuff still works the same, but how do we know that anything's actually worked? Well, let's go to the network tab over here and look at all these different requests for different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And notice here, we get it from the service worker, service worker, service worker, service worker. So all of these different assets right here, we're actually now getting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the service worker. Which is really awesome. Even though we're still online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we make a request for all of these assets that we pre-cached and they're in our cache now, we're actually getting them from the service worker. And that means that it's going to be much quicker than if you went to the server for all these different resources every time the page reloaded. So that's good for usability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what is awesome is that if we now go offline...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just make sure in application and service workers, everything's fine. Yes, it is. So we're going offline and now I'm going to refresh the page. Now before when we did this offline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got that blank or default Google Chrome error page is saying no connection, but now when I'm offline, if I refresh, look at this, we get this page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, there's a couple of things here we don't get. We don't get these different icons and I'll explain that in a minute, but we get this page and everything is still working. If we go to a different page, then it's not going to work because we didn't pre-cache these pages, only the index page at the minute, but let's go back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're still getting this page, even if we refresh many times, it's still there. This is really cool. And the reason we're getting this is because we're intercepting all of the fetch requests for all of the different assets and we're getting those from the cache using the service worker right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if that exists in the cache, we're returning that response and we can still show it in the browser. So already we're having a much better offline experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now then, I said that we couldn't see these different icons right here. And remember, this is using the material icons library by Google.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now then, why is that not working? Because, if you remember up here, we actually cached that resource, material icons. So this should work, right? Hmm. Well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we go over here and we look at this request over here and get the preview, we can see this is what we're actually caching, this response right here, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the CSS file that we're linking to and it's all there except notice here, we also have this request inside the CSS file that we get back. This is something completely different, right? All this right here is a separate URL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's trying to get that while it's offline. So even though we're caching this thing, which is this CSS file from the CSS file, we're also trying to get another resource and we can't get that because we're offline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what we could do is copy that dude and we could cache it way over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the other things. So now let me put that in there and save it. We actually need to go back online first of all because we need to reinstall the service worker, reactivate it and all that jazz so that we can recache this asset right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've gone back online. Now I'm going to refresh and now we can see everything because we're online. Hopefully inside our cache over here, we should now be caching that other thing as well at the bottom, which is down here. Cool. That's working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now if we go back offline, I'm going to check that and refresh. And now we can see, we can see the icons now. So that's working. We've cached the actual icon CSS file and also the icon font file right here that is being linked to from that CSS file. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Precaching assets when the service worker is first installed and that happens whenever we make a change to this file and then currently reload over here in the browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's precaching, it's reaching out to the server, getting all of those different resources and stuffing them into our cache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that when we're offline now, whenever we try to load a page and all of these different requests are shut out from the browser, these different fetch events fire for each different request,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now we're responding with our own custom response from the cache if that request exists inside the cache. If it doesn't, like I said, we're still trying to actually carry on with the initial fetch request to get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we have it in the cache, we serve that to the browser instead. And this is the heart of offline behavior. And now we have some basic offline functionality for our application.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in the studio with Alex Jones and Roger on election day and the metrics were off the charts about how many people were tuning into Infowars, numbers that were comparable to the networks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had no idea whatsoever that Trump was going to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, we just played a role in making the president of the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are always on the radio, if you are always on television, you always have to top yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to create a more wild, more extreme conspiracy theory to keep your audience engaged. You can't just keep coming out with the same line every single day. And so you force, you are compelled to push yourself to ever greater extremes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is a bodybuilding, pot smoking, dandy swinger who has had a profound impact upon shaping all of our lives through his savvy and cunning as a political consultant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Purely transactional, and it worked out great for both of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roger delivers legitimacy to Alex Jones and Alex Jones delivers to Trump a disaffected voter that Trump desperately needed to bring to the polls in order to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was, I think, in a lot of ways, the difference maker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a preternatural sense that that would be a big to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The objective is always to get clicks, to get eyeballs, and to convert that into financial gain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The closer we get to 2020, the more this president and his advisors are saying immigration is our fire. That's the fire we put in our torch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time is foul, G. Bush, Mike McNuggets with you on this beautiful Wednesday morning. Bull is off, Jay is off, so y'all got the A squad here today, minus our two favorites. G. Bush got coffee an hour ago, and he's still flabbergasted at how it's so scorching hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ty, you got here, you're usually upstairs with us about an hour before the show. Today, we came down to the studio at 10.30 and we're looking around like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's Tivus? Where's Tivus? We waited to call you and then we get a text from Tivus and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, all I'm saying is Bull told me it was the best pizza in Cleveland. It was hands down the best pizza I've ever had in Cleveland. So shout out to Il Rione if you haven't been there. What if we do? Check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donovan Mitchell for Jalen Brown swap if it's on the table. We're going to talk about some new special teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kinda hot on. This may eliminate a roster spot for the Browns, which we'll get into. We're gonna talk to little guardians potentially at the end. Will Brennan


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made peace with the birds last night by hitting a home run. He, he, uh, honored Anthony, I think with a tag word, but he said that home run was for the bird he killed the day before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here it is, in memory of the bird, Brennan, goes yard silly-willy for the dub. The Guardians though, took a 4-2 loss to the White Sox. We'll get into that, Ja Morant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Posted on his Instagram page today, a cryptic goodbye message. We'll dig into that and we'll also talk whether or not the Browns have a championship caliber roster heading into the 2023 season. But first, we have Bulls Bet of the Day. Anthony, who's that brought to us by?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking the money line, Bull won his bet yesterday. He is 2-0 this week and he is 30 and 19 on the season when it comes to his baseball bets. If you want to win money, bet it with Bull. You guys with that, ready to get into some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PFF released its rankings of the best rosters in football. Based on talent, positional importance, top to bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Anthony, do you want to start? We want to run through all 32 real quick and then we'll break into whether or not the Browns are properly ranked too high or too low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's PFS list of the best rosters. I'll say once again, this was before the Zedaria Smith trade. So let's start with that little caveat first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adding Zedariah Smith to this roster, do you think that bumps the browns up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the third one. Yeah, 11 to 15. They come in at number 14. They're ranked fourth in the division behind the Steelers, Ravens and Bengals. But once again, I think me personally, the Zerri Smith move puts them ahead of the Steelers now at the minimum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would change the rankings. I certainly think they'd move up a couple of spots. G alluded to something that this brings us to the big question with this topic here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking top to bottom, and we don't have a final 53 man roster yet, we have about 70 guys on the team, they'll add more, they'll end up cutting it down to 53.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do the Browns have a championship caliber roster heading into week one of this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Run up to score on offense and completely shut you down on defense. Bull said this last week and I think he's spot on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at their position groups, top to bottom, quarterback, running back, receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only one you can even make the argument that is below league average potentially is linebacker. And I think it's too fair to even fully judge that linebacker room because of the circumstances last year. As Yuzo, as Yuzo alluded to, Tyvis, where they were taking on offensive linemen and trying to make plays and they're just not big enough, end or talented enough to do that. Back to the question of is the championship roster? I think absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a championship roster and you look at the DNA of championship teams. They all have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relatively three things in common. They're each unique in their own ways, but they have three things in common. One, top tier quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did not see that from Deshaun Watson last year. We all expect him to get back to at least the same level he was in Houston, if not even better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cross that off. I believe the Browns have top tier quarterback play. One, Deshaun Watson has a full off season with these weapons. Two, you gotta get to the damn quarterback. Last year, Kansas City, Chris Jones and Frank Clark. The Eagles had four dudes with ten plus sacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the Browns have Jim Schwartz, Zedarius Smith, with Myles Garrett, with Oboe Aquancro, with Dalvin Tomlinson, who Matt Coller told us last week doesn't have the sack numbers, but is an underrated pass rusher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the interior, to go with the Mohurst, to Tristan Hill, to see Aki Ika, they have weapons. And Eji even said last week too, you got JOK on Blitz stunts now, which is where he excels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you gotta have playmakers. And game-breaker kind of playmakers. And on offense...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick Chubb, as good as it gets. In the receiver room, we've seen Amari Cooper take over games. We all think and believe Elijah Moore can be that outside X Factor for the Browns. Maybe it's Cedric Tillman. Hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's David and Joku making one-handed catches like he did against the Buccaneers in overtime, or to send that game to overtime. And then on defense, Denzel Ward, Martin Emerson, Newsome, Delpit, maybe JOK develops into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you look at the Browns from top, Miles Garrett to Sean Watts and Nick Chubb, down to whoever's 53 men on that roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the 53 guys on that roster as we head into the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I apologize, I forget which PFF writer it was. I think it was Sam Monzell. I could be wrong. But they released their top 32 quarterbacks entering the season list, I think two days ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've done so many quarterback rankings, like I don't know how many more times we can say. I thought what he wrote for the Sean Watson was as.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accurate as anyone I've heard. He ranked him 13th by the way. 13th or 14th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said Deshaun Watson is the single hardest player to rank heading into the 2023 season. He's single in the entire league, any position. He hasn't, he played six games in two years. We didn't see the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The normal progression of an elite quarterback from game one when he did play to game six. It wasn't just shake off rust. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, he just wasn't really good for six games. So the little signs of improvement, he wasn't as bad in week six as he was against Houston in week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it wasn't like he was bad. Little better, little better, little better. For the most part, he just, he wasn't great last year. He wasn't very good last year, Frank said. But we also know what Deshaun Watson can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, it's hard to kind of find that middle ground of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I confident he's gonna get it back? I think he can, but I haven't seen it in two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We only have that six game sample size to grade him on in two years. You know what I mean? So he's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was San Mon's own Anthony. Well he said it's fair. He's tough to reign just because we haven't seen him in two years. And that is, that is fair. Like we all think he's gonna be good. We just haven't seen him in two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no shortage of options for Stefanski to dial up in the run game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the passing game, in the play-action game, the intermediate, the deep pass, and the short pass, and the screen, like, they have weapons on first and ten, and third and seventeenths. The fans should have three good play calls in every situation, and I liked when he said, I'm working with the Sean Watson side-by-side, hand-in-hand, to make sure he's comfortable. If he doesn't like a play, guess what we're doing? I don't have a piece of paper, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toss it out, we're gonna drop a new one. Like, that's what a good play caller should do with a franchise quarterback. And every indication we've got from the DeStefanski-Watson relationship,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has been working towards this, a full off season, those two putting their football minds together, creating and birthing a playbook that completely compliments the Sean Watson skillset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was on Phil Taylor's show yesterday. I'm gonna ask you this question, Kivus, cause, and G plus, you too. Does that come, like, and you say you don't know if it comes from a coach, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a coach has, I don't want to say swag, but like if a coach has that exudes confidence, he walks around the locker room and he knows that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His stuff is good. You know what I'm saying? Like, these plays are gonna work. This defense is gonna work. My shit's good. I don't know how else to phrase it in a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that exude to the team? Does the team kind of pick up on that and play with that same swag and confidence? And if it's not there, does the team struggle to kind of find that within themselves?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I obviously didn't play football and Anthony would get teared in one sec, but my sophomore year of college, I don't think I've ever told this story, but I played for Jim O'Brien who coached at Ohio State who was, in my opinion, 5,000 times smarter than any of the D3 coaches in the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the reason we won some games. We played the number one team in the country my sophomore year. They were on a 29 game win streak and this is how we knew we could beat them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All week we practiced against this one out of bounds play from underneath the basket they had. They scored every time on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he told Ed Reed, he told our center, he's like, you take one false step this way, do a little banana cut and you're going to get a steal. We're going to go down and get a fast break dunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're like, why would you take a false step? They're going to pass. He's like, just trust me. He's going to see it like this. He's going to make that pass. Hurley, who was our center, he's going to turn around. He's going to steal with his left hand. He's going to throw it up to Thorpe. Thorpe is going to dunk it. Third play of the game. Guess what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hurley takes a step, their point guard unbounded, thinks he's got the little bounce pass for the slip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throws it, hurly turns around, catches with his left hand, OB call which hand he was going to catch it with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scooch it up to Thorpe, Thorpe dunks it, we're up 6-0 and we end up beating the number one team in the country. When coaches know their shit don't stink!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, we're going to move to our next topic and this one we're glad to have Thomas in for because he is our resident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having to either have a touchback or a return, now teams can fair catch a kickoff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it automatically gets placed at the 25 yard line. Some numbers for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only 6 out of over 1,000 kicks last year, kickoffs, return from touchdowns, less than 1%. Only 3 punt return touchdowns in the whole league. That was 0.3%. 61% of kicks in the NFL went for touchbacks last year. That was before this rule. It's expected to be between 80 and 85% now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Essentially eliminating kickoffs. Tyverson is someone who played on special teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the highest level in the NFL. Just before we get into what this means for Joaquin Grant and the Browns roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your take on the, uh, the rule change? It doesn't sound like you're a fan of this whatsoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He specified that special teams coordinators were like, no, no, no, no, no, no, do not do this. Unfortunately, NFL owners vote on these rules, not coordinators. So as to your point, Divas, other than Trone and all the special teams coordinators in the NFL were like, and I get,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may not be elite catching the ball. They may not be able to cover people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not big enough to play defensive line like UG. They're little dudes. Usually track speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shifty as hell, and they made dudes miss in ways that very few guys can do in the normal confines of a football field where there's 11 people on defense, 11 people on offense, with 5 offensive lines, you know what I'm saying? Like in the normal confines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just, I get the safety reasons, I think, uh, kickoffs with the number one concussion player, number one highest percentage of concussion plays, because you got 270 pound dudes running full speed for 40 yards, hitting other 270 pound dudes, and that's obviously dangerous, so I get it, but I hate this so damn much, like, I hate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you mentioned Jakim Grant, like, this rule affects him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy who was brought here to be their return specialist, and y'all correct me if I'm wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since Josh Curves, the Browns have been very average to mediocre in the return game. Donovan Peoples-Jones had that punt return this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was their first Palm Return since I believe 2013. Palm Return touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess Travis Benjamin, but like for the most part he was brought in here to rejuvenate a return game that they hadn't had and now he's competing with David Bell and Anthony Schwartz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Mike Harley for that last receiver spot, look at his numbers. He's got six career return touchdowns. He has seven career receiving touchdowns. Like where's his value as a straight up receiver if he's only going to get a chance to return 10 to 15 kicks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All year, and Jerome Ford proved last year, he's pretty damn serviceable in that role too, so like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thomas, it's gonna come down, no joke. It could come down to Joaquin Grant, David Bell, and Anthony Schwartz that there's that last receiver spot. Legitimately, like this is a realistic possible scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you've got Jakim Grant, who you signed, who now his return value is gone. Do you want this? You got two third round picks in Bell and Anthony Schwartz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the XFL kickoff? Yea, these are the XFL kickoff returns. They stay 5 yards off until the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got rather a playoff spot, but it is what it is. But I prefer that over traditional kickoffs, especially if we're going to eliminate 95% of them. Anthony, we got to read before our next topic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Football is in the air, my friend, and our first glimpse at the 2023 Cleveland Browns is officially here. And I'm gonna pull, I'm gonna pull a G-bush with you all real quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one has ever looked bad in shorts in training camp in a video. The team tweets out itself. The team's not going to tweet out a video of people looking bad. However, however, the guardians are killing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All off season. Look at the mechanics. Look at the catch. He turns up field, Tyvis. That is what an elite receiver, an elite quarterback connection is supposed to look like. Next video. Let me keep going. Elijah Moore, you see two hands. Look, I can do it with one hand like Waka Flocka. The one hand catch from Elijah Moore in shorts. I don't, was there a quarterback on him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care. This is what I want to see 114 times in 2023. Next video, Steve, Cedric Tillman. Uh, this is Mike Harley deep ball perfection. Let me get 53 of these all season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Deshaun Watson throws for 72 touchdowns. And last but not least, third round pick Cedric Tillman. You see this jump ball, Tyvis? I don't care if you're out here guarding him. Cedric Tillman's about to cook. Yes, he's in shorts. Yes, there's no pads. Yes, this doesn't matter. And yes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm absolutely hyped to see the Browns doing some football activities because there's nothing else in the Cleveland sports scene right now to be excited about. Hopped on, y'all go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I preface it with saying, you know, I know where these clips came from. I know what they're trying to do. I'm not gonna let that ruin my damn excitement. I'm not going on for that right now. You don't gotta talk five days for two hours, okay? Like, I gotta talk Guardians every day. On a Guardians offense, Casper


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say though, to Tavis' point, and yea, I know I'm a little over-excited, but that first throw to Elijah Moore was a die. Yea, it was. Like that, like, obviously it's no defense, no nothing, but that first throw was a die. I don't think it's an E.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. But it's still pretty. It was nice. Like Hard Knocks starts every season of Hard Knocks. They show the deep ball in slow motion. Oh man. As uh, Lee, what's it, Lee Schraber? Is that the guy who narrates? Yeah. Hard Knocks goes like that. That's just romantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But before you go, Thomas, eh, could we put a, uh, poll on the YouTube chat to see who thinks Thomas is being a salty splatoon? Like, why is he so negative, Nancy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta feel 10 hours of content a week. There's a lot of stuff that we gotta talk about every day because it's happening. That's just not exciting. I get someone excited to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, yes, the Browns won in the Super Bowl today because they threw a couple awesome passes in 7-on-7 with no pads, and no defense. No, they're not winning the Super Bowl. But you're wrong, 50%, because guess what? I can still be excited about it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let me ask you this, this is a good caveat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Browns would nev- the Browns would never do this. This would never happen. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's totally fair, and let's be honest. Like, we knew Cedric Timberlake can catch a football. Right. We knew Elijah Moore's fast and shifty. We know that Sean Watson can throw a great deep ball. But I just like seeing it. I just like, I'm a visual learner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I like, and Tony Martinez came in and helped us put this show together. One thing he said, and I remembered this because he had a stat for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 75% retention rate or the retention rate of viewers is 75% higher when they see the same thing you're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we talked about the Sean Watson throwing deep balls and you see the Sean Watson throwing deep balls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a much easier, especially with numbers, like stats and stuff. That's why we show so many stack graphics. When y'all are talking about numbers, to hear it and see it together is the perfect viewer experience. Anthony, what's up before we move on to our next topic?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Anthony's struggles there, it is really hard to do ad reads with the headphones on, cause you're on a half second delay, so you hear yourself speaking. I'm, I'm trying my best. Half behind. Yea, you get used to it, but, you're doing good Anthony. Alright, next topic. We did a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did some hypothetical cap trades last week, and one of them...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caught fire, and uh, we did over a million impressions on Twitter with it. Wow. And most people didn't like it, so that was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Anthony and Earl came up with some of the, there's a whole, we'll get into it later. We don't have to get back into it. Watch Friday's show. It was maybe one of the funniest things we've ever done. Uh, I cried in your chair. I cried on Friday. Seriously. I literally had tears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came up with four, G had one, Anthony had one, and Earl had one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The segment was, if you're gonna trade Jared Allen, what kind of packages could you get back for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was looking at like, I don't think you're going to get a star young wing back for Jared Allen. His trade value right now is at an all time low. So I was looking to the Mavs and I think it was, it was Jared Allen and Dean Wade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sign me up, I do that ASAP, and every Mavs blog in the history of the world found it, retweeted it, and they were like, Cleveland site is actually suggesting this, which we never suggested, we were just looking at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This has not been offered. This is not necessarily realistic. This is completely hypothetical, but we are a sports show. We like to have fun. So guess what? We are going to talk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has picked up some traction on uh, NBA Twitter. The Celtics did win last night to save their season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jalen Brown is due for a Supermax contract after making the All-MBA second team this year. He is ready to sign a five year, 293 million dollar deal. Sheesh. And there's a little bit of friction between him and Jason Tatum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are not suggesting this. We are not saying it has been asked. We are just simply poisoning the question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you trade Donovan Mitchell for Jalen Green straight up? Or Jalen Brown straight up, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I- I'll make the case for why they shouldn't, why they shouldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think Boston would make that trade. I don't think Boston would. If I'm the Cavs, and that offer is on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you have to do it. No. If you're asking me to rank, who's a better player, Mitchell or Jalen Brown?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on like 2k ratings, I do think Donovan Mitchell is a better player than Jalen Brown. However, it's time to salute it to. There is some contractual uncertainty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means you know we're talking LeBron in a little bit. He's getting his ears ready. The perks and the satellites are starting to take in all the energy to channel into this LBJ take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The age of Evan Mobley and his current progression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To take a guy out in Donovan Mitchell who, for better or worse, has two years on his contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And switch him for a guy in Jalen Brown who would have 5 years on his contract. Puts you in a championship window for the Cavs that could be 5, 6, 7 years now as opposed to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're kinda in win mode now, right now. And if you have Jalen Brown...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That gives you a guard in Garland, a wing in Galen Brown, and a big in Evan Mobley as your big three as opposed to two little guards with Mitchell and Garland. So, I think stylistically, it fits a little better with what the Cavs are doing. Contractually, it extends their championship window a few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think Brown and Mitchell are pretty similar in terms of their overall ranks. I would put Mitchell a little above Jalen Brown. He's been bad in the last, in this round of the playoffs. He has not been good in this series, but for the Cavs, if this was on the table, I think they'd have to pull the trigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's, there's another Mitchell trade out there that was thrown on Twitter. And Anthony, you want to pull up that tag board? I'm curious what you guys take is on this. From Ben Axelrod, he works upstairs. I think he was just messing around, and I know it's small, but theoretically speaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theoretically speaking, would you trade Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio for LeBron? Right now? Yea, what are you talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's still a top 10-15 player in this league, and he's probably even a little higher. He's probably top 6-7-8, but he-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can't turn it on for 82 games and be your number one alpha dog for a whole season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Junior, Tyler County Junior College.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the answer was true though, at least to your knowledge for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking a man in his eyes. I know the answer to this. Do you? I know the answer. This is what I was hoping we could ask about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you guys want to start with y'all and then we'll do the rest or do you guys want to go around the horn and end with y'all? I'll leave it up to you guys because you guys were here last Monday when you had the extremely insightful and honestly powerful conversation about government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start with it. Alright, so anyone who didn't see this morning, then I'll let, I'll let these two run with it however they want. Jop posted a series of Instagram stories, which Anthony, I believe we have, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was four posts and a bit cryptic, there was no goodbye to whatever, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After what, he's gone through the last 10 days and over the last 2-3 months. What do you guys make of the Instagram post here, Todd?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelievably eloquently said to you, seriously. And I agree with a lot of the stuff that you just hit on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes there are topics that come up where the right, especially in art, art world, UCSS world, there are the right people on the right day to have those conversations. And last Monday when I wasn't here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not the right person to be part of the John Marant conversation. Like I know the lanes where I know my stuff and there's stuff that I don't want to talk on something that I'm not familiar enough with to give you guys any real insight and context and Earl was in the producers chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That day, and I thought he handled his part of the conversation unbelievably eloquently, so I hope John gets the help he wants, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to hear what Earl has to say on this more than I have any strong opinion and you guys should want to hear what Earl wants to say or has to say more than anything I can say. So Earl, when you saw this, what was your kind of take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll, we'll end this and move on to the other NBA topics in a sec, but at the NBA draft lottery, Malika Andrews asked NBA commissioner Adam Silver about the Jamarant situation and he laid it out in pretty layman's terms that like, you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got off relatively light the first time. Like, we're about to drop the gauntlet and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope personally that John got that message is doing what you said, Divus, and kind of cutting off the outer edges of his circle, tightening it up, going to get whatever help in whatever way that is that he needs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And takes it, runs from there and becomes the jama rant that we grew to love on the court again, without the off court extracurricular activity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five minutes before we have a special top five that Anthony has been producing and prepping for weeks now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we have Tyvis on set. He's here one day a week. And Tyvis, you uh, you forced Jay to leave the group chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So LeBron have not scored 25 points in a row against the Pistons in the fourth quarter to make the finals that year? No. Like what's worse, getting swept by the Spurs but making the finals or LeBron not putting on a historic performance in the fourth quarter to beat the Pistons even though he reached the finals in 2007 with a putrid supporting cast?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you don't give LeBron props for carrying a couple terrible teams to the finals?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this question though, Thomas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are some supersized figures in this next topic. And you could have said, oh, how did this one person get to be like a gajillion feet tall? Well, the eight billboards as a kid, their parents smashed them up, put them in a smoothie and gave them as a baby. And that's why they're big. So bad job. You've done a great job the rest of the show. Uh, so yeah, what's this top five? All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you ready for some Pokemon knowledge? Yo, what does every team need, especially at the scrappy point card position? Potion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I don't know, I'll see the rest of your top 5, but when I thought Shooting Guard, what was Big Squirtle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a big miss, a big miss was not having Blastoise in there as his splash brother. I think it's a big miss. And uh, Thomas, you wanna read that real quick? We do have an update on John Morant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he is good. Uh, honestly, we're happy for John Morant. Like I said, we all, we all wish he, wish him the best. And if he does decide to get help, kudos to him. Whenever he needs, uh, we will fully support him. In overtime coming up, we are talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which number 15, if the Nuggets were to retire a jersey, which 15 would they hang up in a wrap?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mellow or joker? If it's a no-brainer, don't tell me which it is. Cause I think it's a no-brainer too, but I hope we're not on the same side of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, well it might be the easiest discussion ever. It was another Steve Becker overtime suggestion. So when Steve Becker sends us topics for overtime, guess what? We're going to do it. He's going to tell us we don't have to, but Steve, you're the boss. If you send it to us, we will do it. And with that, we will see you tomorrow on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know that there are people out there who can be radicalized. What was different here was you had a president who, uh, however he was communicating, gave those people the idea that he was on their side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a backlash. There was a backlash where people started to really try to examine this person. They started to review internally, you know, are we monetizing this guy? Are we supporting the horrible things that he's doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ma'er! You're mad at me for not paying the debt, aren't you? Take a look! In one night, a city fell from the sky!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're always happy to listen to those and offer any advice if you can or if they want advice or are looking for, you know, any tips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me that's always the l you know, try to help the up because we're all there


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I appreciate that. Uhm, thank you so much. But yeaah, I'm with you. Uhm, I think I've gotten better as I've gotten older as far as, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too many times early in my career, I think I was way too critical of umpires.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, these guys are the best at what they do. They're trying to do the right job and a lot of times we may think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the wrong call. We find out that it was the right call, but I mean, they're going to miss calls. I mean, they're human and sometimes your club's the beneficiary of that. And sometimes you're on the other end of that spectrum. But I mean, um, you know, at the end of the day, you know, it's been said time and again, there might be a rare exception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot different than radio. And so it's been a lot tougher, in my opinion, for Rosie and I to have as much back and forth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Logan Allen's on the mound, you're lucky to say, here's the windup in the pitch. He's almost winding up and delivering when he's gotten the throwback from the catcher. So I definitely feel on radio, it has been an impact. Not, I don't know how Matt and Archie feel about it on TV, but again, you can talk over


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we've lost anything. I know some people feel like the game is too fast. I don't get that. All we've done is cut out dead time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the way it should be if there isn't much scoring. There weren't many hard hit balls. So why should that be a three hour game? You know the thing I don't know that it's been talked about a lot, guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our guys that were trying to maximize velocity and so they took as much time as they could between pitches so they could throw 97 or 98 or whatnot. I mean how many times did we say, man the game was flying along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until the bullpen got involved and they were the guys that were the slowest workers, especially your closer. I think the element we've added to our game this year and I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the element of the game I thought we were losing. I thought the end of games had become so predictable because the bullpens were so dominant before the pitch clock. I don't think that's the case this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at some point it is, Jason, but I think the clock is always ticking on everybody in the game. I don't think it matters. Uhm, the one thing, I know it's trite, but you've heard it time and again with baseball, and I'm sure you could say it about other sports too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The train is always moving. Uh, you either get on the train or the train passes you by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I don't care who the player is, uhm, at some point teams run out of patience. I think with Mike Zanino, you know, he only played 30 some ball games last year. That's a very serious surgery that he had because you're cutting into muscles. You're cutting into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that area, ligaments and what not when you have that thoracic outlet syndrome surgery to improve your circulation. Now, maybe it is on his non-throwing arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, anybody that th that front shoulders, your comes into play when you t or if you're throwing a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't have a bad left shoulder and still be a good thrower if he's right handed. So I think with Mike Zanino they're trying to be as patient as they can knowing he is still not back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A hundred percent in that it's still a work in progress. I think he's gotten better at blocking balls in the dirt. He threw a runner out last night, which is the first he's done in a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, when these guys have the track record that they have, they're going to get more of a leash. You're going to be a little bit more patient with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it really gives him a jump start and gets him back to being the player that he's been throughout his career. But uhm, you know, again, I think we know who the catcher of the future is here in Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great question. Uhm, again, with young players you have to be patient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think what we found here when both Oscar and Will were here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just not enough at bats. Uh, I think for young players, more so obviously than a veteran who's maybe near the end of the line, they've never sat their entire life. I mean, let's face it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're Will Brennan or you're Oscar Gonzalez, you've been the best player on the team since you were able to put on a pair of pants and play t-ball or little league or wherever you may have started. You've never sat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've never sat in the minor leagues because you're a prospect that needs to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he might only play once or twice this week. That, it was an adjustment that Oscar Gonzalez couldn't make. He needed to go to Columbus and get the advance that he's getting now to get back up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem right now for Oscar is it's not happening in Columbus either. And so to me that's an even bigger concern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and again, I know it's a result based business, but sometimes you can tell when a guy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got to play. I think his time is right now to be playing every day or close to it. He's the best shortstop on the club, even though you've got a good one in a med Rosario. So I think you're going to see Arias get a lot more at bats at various positions on the diamond. But,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tito talked about Arias on the road trip and he was like, this is a guy we cannot get impatient with because that light is going to come on and when it does, he's got a chance to be special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing that I think is also holding Gavin Williams back right now, they have to find out about the two guys you mentioned that should be back right at the end of this month or the first of June, Trista McKenzie and Aaron Savalli.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to get the first opportunity. So you're going to have Shane Bieber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to have Logan Allen. You're going to have Tanner Bybee in that rotation. And then you're going to get Aaron Savalli and Trista McKenzie here within the next 10 days to two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look guys, you cannot have enough starting pitching. We all know that. Uh, I think as, as disappointing as the start has been, in one sense it's been remarkable that you're talking about the starters actually being pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're also talking about it with three rookies in the rotation right now, because Nat Plisak's not here, and we know about Savalli and McKenzie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember guys a couple of years ago when you lost Bieber, Savalli, and Polisak? Season was over. You were never able to recover from that. The fact that this club is able to kind of almost, kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, almost dog paddle and, and stay afloat here without going under until you get all your starters back is, is saying something about the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think the second half of this year obviously gets very interesting. The Shane Bieber topic is going to be there all season long. Uhm, you can't avoid it. You know, Shane's heard it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the word was I heard from people that when they did talk about Cleveland,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their talk was about Shane Bieber and would he be traded and who might he be traded to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to continue to hear that because Shane Bieber has, in essence, a year and a half left before he's a free agent at the end of 2024. And so I think that comes into the equation as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which to me is astounding. For a guy that can throw 100 miles an hour and a slider, he's never been a big strikeout guy, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a strikeout in an inning last year. Now a lot of guys, like when Karen Cech was going good last year, he averaged two strikeouts in an inning. Right. Closet's never been that guy. I don't know why guys put the bat on the ball with him with the kind of stuff he has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They worked with his arm swing a little bit. That was a little bit shorter than it had been. That's why they felt like he had lost some velocity. Yet he's still throwing 98 miles an hour and then throwing sliders last night at 93 miles an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest thing Tito said, we talked about it, uh, in his office last night, Klaus A, he's been off just this much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought last night he looked as good as we've seen him. Uhm, I think Tito commented after the ballgame, I haven't talked to Tito yet today, but, uh, he said he threw that slider like he was angry. And, you know, Emmanuel Clauset isn't used to having blown saves, so no, uhm, I think the, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing too is, as Tito mentioned, we have had 23 one-run games. Every night, there's your one mistake away from getting beat because you haven't been able to open up games. I mean, we scored three runs last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When is the last time this ball club, I thought we were going to have it Friday night, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, you can't win this way. You just, you can't win never hitting home runs. Again, look, it's a 1-0 game last night going into the late endings. We don't know how that turns out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sure seemed different with a two run home run, didn't it? I mean, it's just amazing what a two or three run home run does late in the game. Something we just kind of haven't gotten used to because it hasn't been happening around here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's starting to hit. The guy that has to come around is Andres Jimenez. I mean, this guy doesn't have to hit 25 home runs. But, you know, he's just really trying to do too much this year. We have really missed his bat that we had a year ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Bell, you know, obviously has not hit for a lot of power. He's walking a lot. He's getting some big hits, but you know, we're not seeing maybe 25 or 30 home runs from that position. Uh, I don't know where the power is going to come from. You know, again, you kind of, I hate to always fall back on last year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Played well for a week or two as soon as they got up here. Uhm, you missed that power of Oscar Gonzalez that we talked about. That threat of winning a game or blowing a game open with one swing of the bat. We just don't have that right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't have to be guys hitting 30 or 40 home runs, but I think what you've got to see are, you know, more guys hitting 15 to 20 home runs. And so you have more of a threat up and down the lineup. Look guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That bat, what you need to do is find a matchup. If you feel like you have a surplus of starting pitching, you need to find another team that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has the surplus of power bats and is in need of pitching. Otherwise, it's the guys that are here. They either get it done or they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On papers, a really good ball club. I think in Pedro Grafal, they've got a guy that can be a really good manager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, you know, they've been playing better as of late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got a guy that's a perennial batting champ contender and he's already won a batting title and he's one of the most electric players in the American League from an offensive standpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their starting pitching is really good. They have so many power arms in their bullpen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a chasm to try to dig yourself out of, but don't discount the White Sox. They still have way too much talent for this to continue. Obviously it's Minnesota, the other team that you mentioned along with Cleveland, because I know Detroit's been a surprise, we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bronx Italian and Bronx Puerto Rican and Brooklyn Italian is more like Bronx Italian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's both. I hated when we didn't have any voice for ourselves. When it was tabloids, you know, you were just getting all of this like, kind of negative, kind of crappy information all the time. Now at least you get to know us a little bit more on social media because we get to speak for ourselves and, and I like that interaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's so many more channels with the internet, there's so many more outlets, it's more paparazzi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they're always looking for content. Everybody's always looking for content. So, you know, in a way it was worse and now it's still worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got my homeboy, uh, my, my producer partner, Nick Nugget, leading the way with five. Typhus, you got four, G, you got three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, uh, just was wondering, is this, uh, an out of season April Fool's joke?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've arrested 535 people involved in the attack on the Capitol from January 6th so far. Is there a database for all these arrests? Yes. We've been keeping track of who they are and where they're from, but that list is confidential.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not mad either. Jail time is basically a prerequisite to living Jacksonville anyway. 10th place belongs to Peach Face over there with 14. Bulldogs didn't make the playoffs, I didn't have much else going on. Kentucky had 16. Well, we can't be doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can have this one. Virginia's got the sixth most with 27. I guess those Charlottesville guys must have taken a field trip. Fifth place goes to California with 33. Are they from California or are they from like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevermind. Third is Texas with 48. Third place? I really thought I'd take this one. If you ain't first, you're last. Sit down, swampy. I'm still in this. Why do you guys want to win this? In second place with 50 arrests? Yeah? Pennsylvania. Yes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in first place, with 62 arrests and a podium, lectern is Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. The first nine picks in the draft were all quarterbacks, including Deshaun Watson who went ninth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I was waiting on that second quarterback for a while and then a bunch of them just went. I wanted to get Russell Wilson. He went two picks before me for my second quarter. Now, anyway, if he retires on you in a year, what happens? I'm screwed. I got to find another quarter. I'm going to draft Brock Purdy next round. He's still out there or maybe Jimmy Garoppolo. I don't know. I got to, got to maybe, maybe I'll draft Baker. Nah, even I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we got a lot to get to today. Tyvis is here. Tyvis, how you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I mean, I guess I would have time for lunch, although I probably shouldn't be eating fried food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but like sometimes you might be out and about, your wife might be at work, she might be doing something else, whatever. I mean, it's not like you've been married that long. If I'm making a habit, she's like, hold on, I'm confused. No, but like pre-wife. Oh, pre-wife? Did you ever go into a restaurant and say table for one? Nah, not really. I have done that. I mean, usually I sit at a bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'd go in, I'd do whatever for an hour, and then I'd go down to, there was a restaurant in the building, you know, uh, uh, yours truly, and I'd go down and have lunch. Sometimes, you know, Dustin wasn't in yet or whatever, so I'd go sit by myself, but I would normally sit at the bar. See?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very excited about today's Bet Rivers podcast. I spoke with Stacy King, former NBA player. He was first round pick of the Bulls right before they won their three championships. And he was part of that first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 40 minutes or something. I wasn't expecting to go that long, but he was really fun. We talked about obviously the current NBA, but we talked about MJ. We talked about the last dance. He wasn't on that team, but he gave me some really interesting thoughts on that. We talked about mental health. We talked about food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a lot of great stuff. So please, it'll be out later today. Check out that, my podcast with Stacey King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also talked about LeBron with Stacey King as well. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. So I got, uh, both on the Moneyline. The Brewers are a slight favorite tonight in St. Louis. Uhm, Corp, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? Corbin Burns is on the mound. Uh, you may remember Corbin Burns has been one of the best pitchers in baseball last few years. First two starts this year he got absolutely tattooed. So if you look at his numbers for the season they look okay, not great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you actually dive deep into it and see how he's pitched since those first two starts, he's been basically the same guy he's been the past few years. He's been back to me and lights out. The Cardinals have played better lately, but I always like the Brewers when Burns is pitching, especially when they're just a slight favorite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's almost even money. Love the twins on the road today. Sonny Gray on the hill from Minnesota. He's been great all, he didn't pitch great actually against the guardians of all teams who can't hit. But against everybody else he's been great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I still don't love the Dodgers lineup, even though they're playing better. So I'm getting plus money with the, with the twins. So two games tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some people, that's not a lot of, a ton of money over a year. And if you win one, you, you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very smart, very smart to go to community college, especially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you come from a family that doesn't have a ton of money, uh, because community college, you get a solid education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's way more affordable than most colleges that are overpriced. You get your two year degree and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there's some careers you can get into with a two-year degree. Some careers you don't have to go to college. Not everybody's meant to go to college. Nope. Depends what you want to do. But, if you want to go to college, go to community college for two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In most cases, credits transfer over the four year school, now you're only paying outrageous money for two years instead of four. So shout out to LCCC. Uh, okay, so your question is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in a way, and I agree, so it's a clean sweep with the offense, in a way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It better be the offense. So I'm picking the offense. Because, first of all, the offense was, even with Jacoby Brissette, the offense last year was way better than the defense. The defense was trash last year. Now they played better later in the season, but overall it was trash. We know they were trash up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they couldn't stop the run. They were embarrassingly bad against the run. Now, we all expect the defense to be better because they've added a lot of talent up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot of new faces, and you still gotta learn how to play together. The offense...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of their key players, except for Elijah Moore, were here last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't a first round pick. So to me, the only big part of the offense in the beginning of the year that wasn't here last year is Elijah Moore. Correct me if I'm wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right, I mean, you know, so the backs are the same. The offensive line is the same. You just hope they're healthy. The tight end group is basically the same. So you got more chemistry there. Now you've also had, you take off


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've said it a million times, the whole season comes down to Deshaun Watson. If he plays like an old pro, like he did in Houston,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the Browns will be a Super Bowl contender this year. If he plays like a slappy like he did last year, the Browns will not even make the playoffs this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think we're all hoping, and I believe that it's more likely than not,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he will play at least like a pro bowler, if not an all pro caliber level. I mean all pros hard. You got Patrick Mahomes, you got Joe Burrow. There's only one, there's one, Josh Allen. There's only one all pro. But like, if he plays at the same level as those guys, or close to it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the Browns have a chance to be a Super Bowl contender. And if he does, then their offense can be special. I think in the end you say, okay,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does either unit have a chance to be a top five unit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the offense is more likely than the defense to be a top five unit because even though I like the defensive line better, there's still a lot of show me because they haven't played together. I still have a lot of question marks at linebacker and as much as I think the secondary is talented,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't play great last year. They gotta play better. So I like the defense. I think it's gonna be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the offense can be special, and ultimately that's why I'm going with the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Browns run defense, Browns pass defense. The surest thing going into the season is the Browns running game, right? I mean, isn't that fair? And that's on offense. So like, you know, anyway, go ahead Mikey, what do you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and the Browns offensive line, let's face it, is not used to it, because the Browns have never had an athlete in quarterback. Correct. Never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you guys ever had a quarterback that was good at scramble drills? No. Not that I can think of. They had Jeff Garcia for a cup of coffee. Jeff Garcia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, so we're all in agreement on the offense. By the way, one thing we didn't discuss that I expect also, I think we're all expecting the offense to be better, we're all expecting the defense to be better. I think the special teams, which has been absolute trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns have had like the worst special teams for years. I'm expecting a massive upgrade at special teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'd like to see that, but haven't heard anything about him being signed. All right, Mikey, what do you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Cam Mitchell was the fifth round pick you mentioned. Uh, cornerback, out of northwestern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, I guess, in the competition to be the fourth corner, which is obviously a role that, you know, is the fourth corner of the team you're going to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and you've got your eye on Cam Mitchell, so we're gonna do some video breakdowns here, so I'm looking forward to this. What's our first slide here? What's your early thoughts, though, on Cam Mitchell here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, on our lads he's being listed as the backup nickel corner. Obviously they have him, they have AJ Green as a backup, D'Anthony Bell who was an undrafted free agent who was here last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of the corners in camp are all undrafted free agents this year. So he's going to make this roster even as a, you know, fifth round picks, not a guarantee, but he's going to make this roster and it'll be the fourth or fifth corner. We'll see, but he will probably be the backup nickel as you say. And so our Mike, let's get to the first, uh, I'm ready. Let's roll it. Roll it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike Hilton of the Bengals is a great nickel corner. He obviously played a lot of his career with Pittsburgh. He's been to Cincinnati. He does blitz a lot. That's a huge advantage if you have a player that like, is savvy enough to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why he was a fifth round pick. So, and gee, I know you've complained about this a lot, that the Browns do nothing creatively in terms of blitzing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's huge, and you're already, in theory, just with Dalvin Tomlinson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, inside and just the, just the improve, the improvement they've made talent wise on the D line, it's going to be harder to double team Miles Garret even, even without the blitzing, because there's better talent, it's by far the best talent he's had around him, at least on paper, and there's guys who have been productive. But let me ask a question about this blitz. When, when the corner blitz is like that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it? The corner or the nickel? Or the nickel. Or whatever, but any, in this case it's the nickel, but in general, when anybody blitzes from the secondary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it always 100% of the time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you're covering Pickens or Jamar Chase, I mean, I don't know if he's covering those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a nickel corner just by the nature of where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if, if he turns out to be as good as you think he could, I mean, anything you get...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any kind of good production from a pick fifth round or later, to me that's a huge steal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if that's the case, he's gotta be better. You got Tyler Boyd and Cincy, Pittsburgh slot, who's Pittsburgh slot receiver?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll get a chance to start because you know, like, some of these guys are not playing much in the preseason. Alright guys, it's time for one of our favorite games. We're bringing it back after a few weeks hiatus. It's time for True or False?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True or false? Little worried. About Anthony Keeven's score. He struggled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are we including third cousins, fourth cousins? Why would you ask this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] False. G has false. I think this is McNugget shenanigans. He's trying to get you to think that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mikey, give me the exact question again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so hard because you don't want to be, I mean you're asking us to be prisoner of the moment and right now nobody's playing better basketball than Jokic. LeBron has that championship DNA. He's won championships with three different teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard, but I mean, look at those numbers. That's like a video game. I mean, Yokocho almost had a triple double at halftime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still taking LeBron number one and Jokic by a hair second and to me then it's a pretty big drop to Anthony Davis even though he's good, as good as he is but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, my philosophy in life is never trust a man with a unibrow. And so he goes third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not against any of these teams. Zero. You're right. And by the way, you know, for all the talk of the Cavs defense, all four of the remaining teams are really good defenders. Yes! They're not just great, you know, not just their ability to score. And the Lakers' defense improved when they traded for Vanderbilt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with the guys they added, but they're all, aren't they all top 10 defensive teams, Mikey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the Lakers stats don't matter because they were a different team at the end of the year. But, uh, well, first of all, just to bring it bigger to the series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, uh, Jokic was unstoppable. Jamal Murray was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, he hit, he hit them shots of brown clothes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the game, did you see the quote from KCP after the game? He was asked, I may not have this right word for word, uh, he, he was asked about Jokic compared to Lebron because obviously, as you said, he played for the Lakers and he goes, well, they're both equally great. Uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he said, except LeBron's better at jumping, I think. And then, and he was out there with Jokic, and Jokic like, pretended to be insulted. That he couldn't jump as well as LeBron. He wasn't really, obviously. But, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't really watch the Nuggets play very often, so getting to see, like, this guy's amazing. He's just incredible. They're great, and he's incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He might be the best center since Shaq. Tyvis, if they win the title, you gotta say he's the best player in the NBA right now. How can you argue anything else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's gotta do it longer. You think he's already better than David Robinson? Sure. Yes. Already? Right now. I think he'd light David up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he's doing has never been done. If he wins the title, then I'm right there with you. And if he wins the title, I'm going to say right now he's the best player in the NBA. But to this point in time, he's never gotten past the Western Conference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played with Barclay later, but when he won his championship, they had no other Hall of Famers on the team, correct? To me, it was somebody with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop, stop, stop. Guys who won championships, come on now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a year and a half ago, so it's a little cheese deck, but go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So. Where is he? Is he born and raised in France? Yes, from Versailles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's his wingspan? Seven nine. What's the honest wingspan? Not seven nine. It's the longest ever measured. By the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says, he's not saying that this guy is obviously not as good as Wem-Wemby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he says it's unfair that people are saying he's the first big guy to play this way, because he claims that bowl bowl has the same skill set, just not as good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 7-5. He's skinny as hell though, he better put on some weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. I just, listen, he looks amazing, he's probably gonna be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, we got, we gotta relax and see him play it. Can he play in the NBA?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shoot, but LeBron would, would, uh, I hear you, but, would he win his prize? LeBron is the greatest team sport athlete ever, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, when it comes to baseball, I'm more worried about my little league team. We got boat race yesterday, 15 to nothing. Gosh. Things are, things I had to, I gave a five minute speech after, I'll get to Bieber in a second. After our little league game, the kids were really down. I had them all get on one knee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I, I gave him a five minute speech. Pep talk after the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta get these kids, I don't want them losing their confidence. We got screwed by the league. No. Ah, it's a long story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And our second best player, one of our other really good players, was sick yesterday, so it was tough. And the kid pitching for the other team. His lifestyle. I don't know if this kid's taking roids or what. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, we didn't give up any runs in the last inning. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're hoping to bounce back, get something going. We've made some plays in the field. I tried some new pitchers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my kid, my kid pitched an inning yesterday, gave up a few runs, but he got his first couple of strikeouts, brought in his kid Dylan. He pitched a perfect inning in the, in the fifth inning. We hit the ball a little bit late. So your kid got, your kid got a little velocity too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, anyway, let's get to Shane Bieber. He needs to turn it around also, because after he pitched his best game of the year last night, guys, he got smoked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he was terrible. 12 hits, which I believe is a career high and hits a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was absolutely atrocious against the White Sox team that's been really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they didn't lose 3-2. The final score was 8-2, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well it's just, okay, anyway. Uh, four and two-thirds, twelve hits, six runs, all are, oh no, I think five were in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's losing. He's lost his value. He's lost value right now. They need to build it back up. I will say this, like there are good pitchers that get blown out sometimes. The problem is he hasn't been dominant all year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I mentioned earlier, uh, Corbin Burns, you know, his first, he's been a great pitcher, his first two starts, he got smoked. But since then, he's completely dominated. So you're like, well, okay. Uh, Shane Bieber's numbers, those are bad. Like those are not across the board. Like a 320 ERA, I mean, that's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's misleading because he hasn't even pitched that well. A 1.22 whip is really bad. Really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not ace pitching and essentially a 3 to 1 strike out to walk ratio is terrible. Look at his strike out to walk ratio last year. 36 over 5 to 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, right. As strikeouts per nine innings, he averaged almost a strikeout per inning last year. He's down two strikeouts per nine innings. That, if you don't know how these stats work, that's a massive difference. That's a massive concerning drop and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, there's reason to be concerned about Shane Bieber because he does not look like an ace right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, no, you're not going to lose him for nothing because you could train him at the end of the season anyway. And if he's not pitching, what if, on the other hand, you could say, well, what if he pitches well down the stretch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if he pulls it together for the last two months after the trade deadline and then pitches a good game in the playoffs and then you trade him in the offseason? So no, I think he's unlikely to be traded during the season unless the Guardians are totally out of it. The thing is though, when this division is so bad that they probably won't be, I still think as bad as they're playing, and they're a bad baseball team right now, bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not mediocre, they're bad right now. But the division stinks. So I still think they have a good chance to win it. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If all the things that are going wrong for this team continue to go wrong, then I think they're going to win it because eventually and the guardians have showed you time and time again in past years where they've gotten off the bad starts that they, they play their best baseball down the stretch and that may happen again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And look, they're only what, five and two, that's seven, three and a half, or three and a half games out of first. Man, as bad as they've played. That's not a lot. I mean, boy, I'm sorry. They're 19 and 22. So they're four games out of first. I would look at this bull. Tigers playing good baseball, which is unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael, by the way I just sent you a direct message. I'd like to play that video if we can. Let me know if you have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing with Bieber is, this guy's got a track record of being great. Now he's not as great this year, but he's still pitched


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is they need to call up, uh, Bo Nailer because their catchers suck. But anyway, go ahead, Mike. Well, we got the clip. You want to play it? Yeah. So this is so embarrassing. So this is, uh, Comcast Sports, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, I mean, not a surprise. The White Sox are, are the, the redheaded stepchild of the, of, of Chicago. But, uh, their post-game show after the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their host is this guy named Chuck Garfin. I don't know him really. Uh, and their analyst in the post game is a guy named Gordon Beckham who was a good player for the White Sox back in the day. And Chuck Garfin was particularly excited about this White Sox win over the Guardians. Let's hear this video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't imagine that, I don't even, I find it hard to believe that the guardians even did that, but even if they did, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who ca- eh, like Chuck Garfin and his White Sox were even worse than the Guardians. He's celebrating as if this was, this was a stick it in the face moment. It's a regular season game in May and your team sucks ass worse than the Guardians with a much higher payroll, you dope. Chuck Garfin.

[Assistant] Could you be any clueless? Any more clueless? Liar Tony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even if they said it, I don't know what is he so excited about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I actually know the four teams, right? It's, uh, Florida Panthers, Vegas, uh, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, before you get to this real quick, did you see, did you know that the, remember Thaddeus Lewis, he was on the Browns? Yes, Thad Lewis, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he was, right? Yea. He was. He is the Buccaneers' quarterbacks coach. Did you know that? Wow. Who? Thaddeus Lewis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy got alerts. Thought about a random, uh, Brown's quarterback and I have to see it. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I was gonna give you a random, this is very random. Okay. But. He's a random guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, was the single, until I went to college, I didn't break the record. Because I didn't play basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what famous NBA coach actually held the Brockport record for single season steals leader?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Younger than Lenny Wilkins. Tyronn Lue. Nope. I'll give you a clue. He's an announcer now. Jeff Van Gundy. Mark Jackson. Jeff Van Gundy. Dang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Andy Reid would be the best choice for president. He's smart, he's thoughtful, and he's got a good personality. Creative. He's creative. He is. He wears Hawaiian shirts. That's a very, a major positive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can kind of get along with everybody. I think he adjusts to the group around him. Except for, uh, Lashon McCoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's simple LeJean McCoy. But LeJean McCoy hates everybody, doesn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I think of, it's not just being great at the sport, it's can run, can jump, is strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stamina. All those things that make great athletes. And there is no compa- You can compare, Tom Brady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] versus LeBron, who's the best at their sport? Is Tom Brady better at football than LeBron is at basketball? That's a fair debate. There's no comparing who's the better athlete. As I, I guess you can define athlete however you do, but as I define athlete, they're not even in the same conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's a better athlete in team sports than LeBron James ever in his three? Oh, Mookie Betts. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop. Mookie Betts is a good athlete, but he's not that le- LeBron has elites, like he's g- There's no flaw to his athletic ability. There's nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree that I think LeBron, if he had channeled his athletic ability into almost any other sport would probably have been great at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, like wouldn't he have been a great football player? Yes. Had he just on football? Yes. I'd have locked him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the only thing you don't know about LeBron in football is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toughness? How would he feel about taking the hit? That I can't speak to.


[User] Please transcribe this text
