What's up everyone take down here today. I'm going to be sharing my predictions for WWE's Hall of Fame 2020. Let's get right into this So with WWE's Hall of Fame right around the corner There's a lot of speculation as to who is going into the Hall of Fame this year and before they start announcing who is actually getting inducted this year I decided to share my predictions just because there is a lot of wrestlers that I feel deserve to go in the Hall of Fame And I'm really excited to see who is going in this year up first for my predictions We have Vader who is one of the greatest super heavyweights of all time Vader is very agile in the ring and was best known for his finisher the diving moon salts He was a former WCW United States champion and a former WCW world heavyweight champion Unfortunately, he died June 18th 2018. So if he were to get inducted into the Hall of Fame It wouldn't be him personally, but WWE has done this in the past with other great WWE wrestlers Where they get inducted into the Hall of Fame after they have passed away It is sad that we cannot honor them in the ring in person in the WWE Hall of Fame But at least WWE will be honoring him someday and I'm hopefully going to see that happen in 2020 Next up is Christian Christian had a great career as a singles competitor and also in tag team action teaming with people like Edge, Lance Storm and Chris Jericho winning the tag team titles seven times with Edge Once with Lance Storm and once with Chris Jericho. He has held the European championship the hardcore championship He is a two-time ECW champion a four-time intercontinental champion and a two-time world heavyweight champion He was also a huge influence in the tag team division in the early 2000s teaming with Edge to face the Dudley boys and the Hardy boys So I definitely think he deserves to go in the Hall of Fame I feel that if he were to go in the Hall of Fame He will go in as a single competitor first and then eventually go in with Edge as the Edge and Christian tag team But I definitely feel that he deserves to go in as a solo competitor first next up for my prediction is Bam Bam Bigelow Known as the most natural agile and physically remarkable big man of the past quarter century Fans will also remember his distinctive flame tattoo that was on his head. He competed in ECW, WCW and WWE He was a former WCW hard-core champion a two-time WCW tag team champion He was the ECW television champion and the ECW world heavyweight champion He did retire November 7th 2006, but he passed away January 19th in 2007 due to drug overdose He did have a hell of a career in the WWE and he is one of the best big man that I know So I definitely think he deserves to go in the Hall of Fame and I would like to see him get inducted this year Next up is JBL. JBL rose to prominence in WWE in the attitude era under the name Bradshaw and became a three-time tag team Champion with Ron Simmons as APA. He would later go on to win the European championship, United States Championship, Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Championship And he held the hard-core championship the most with a total of 18 times He retired at WrestleMania 35 where he would lose the Intercontinental Championship to Rey Mysterio Next up is Mickie James. Mickie James made her WWE main roster debut in 2005 Where she was placed in a storyline with Tristratus which lasted eight months She won her first WWE women's championship at WrestleMania 25 And she won that title a total of five times and eventually went on to win the WWE Divas Championship Next up is Kane. Kane debuted in 1995 in the WWE and he played various characters until 1997 where he was repackaged as Kane. He was a huge part of the attitude era in the late 1990s and early 2000s Defeating Stone Cold for the WWE Championship in 1998 He was a two-time Intercontinental Champion, the ECW Champion, the World Heavyweight Champion The 12-time tag team champion He has won the Money in the Bank briefcase He had the most eliminations at the Royal Rumble with a total of 44 and he won the 24-7 championship in September 2019. Currently Kane is in a part-timer contract with the WWE because he is the mayor of Knox County So he isn't active in the WWE. Mainly he only appears within the WWE Whenever WWE comes close to Knox County and is in his area, then he will make appearances mostly on Raw Next up is the Hardy Boys. Real-life brothers Jeff and Matt Hardy debuted in the WWE in 1998 Their biggest matches were with the Dudley Boys and Edge and Christian in ladder matches and TLC matches They won the tag team titles a total of six times Jeff would later leave the company in 2009 and Matt in 2010 However, they made a surprise return in 2017 at WrestleMania to win the Raw tag team titles in a fatal four-way tag team match During the 2018 superstar shake-up Jeff was sent to SmackDown splitting up the team But in February 2019 they reunited and in April they won the SmackDown tag team titles Currently they are both contracted within WWE with the recent WWE draft Jeff Hardy is still out on injury So it's unknown where he's going to be whenever he does return But Matt Hardy is still unknown whether he's on Raw or SmackDown because it has yet to be announced I feel they are such a great tag team even if they were inducted into the Hall of Fame Once Jeff is cleared from injury I could see them still coming back and being part of the tag team division because we learned years ago with people like Kurt Angle going into the Hall of Fame. Their WWE in-ring career does not necessarily mean they're gonna be over Once they're inducted into the Hall of Fame. They could still have an in-ring WWE career Next up is the big show. He began his career in WCW and was known as the Giant Since his debut he has many great storylines and rivalries in WWE, WCW and in ECW He has held the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice the ECW World Heavyweight Championship He is a three-time hardcore champion. He is a 11-time tag team champion in both WWE and WCW He was a United States champion intercontinental championship and a two-time WWE champion He debuted in 1994 and is still contracted with the WWE However, he is on part-timer status as we've seen whenever he was active in the WWE Currently he is out on injury, but he is still contracted within the WWE And my last prediction for this year's WWE Hall of Fame is Batista Batista signed with WWE in 2000. From 2002 to 2010, he became a two-time WWE champion and a four-time World Heavyweight Champion He holds the record for the longest reign as the World Heavyweight Champion at 282 days He was a four-time tag team champ twice with Ric Flair, once with John Cena and once with Rey Mysterio And he won the 2005 Royal Rumble, headlining WrestleMania 21 After leaving WWE in 2010, he returned in 2013, going on to win the 2014 Royal Rumble And headlining WrestleMania 30 before departing that June Batista made a second return and faced Triple H at WrestleMania 35 in 2019 But after that WrestleMania, he announced his retirement from the WWE and wrestling in general Out of everybody on this list, since Batista did announce his retirement after WrestleMania last year He is the top one that I feel out of everybody that I mentioned on this list Is likely going to go in this year's WWE Hall of Fame It is going to be interesting and I know a lot of people are going to say Why didn't I put people like The Undertaker on this list? Because Undertaker is still active in the WWE even though it is on part-timer status He is going to all these Saudi Arabia shows and making different appearances at WWE programming So I feel that even though I think he deserves to go in the Hall of Fame And I think he should be in the Hall of Fame by now I just don't see WWE putting him in the Hall of Fame yet Until he's ready to hang up the boots So these are my predictions for this year's WWE Hall of Fame I hope you guys did enjoy Comment down below who you think is going to go in this year's Hall of Fame And I'm going to leave this video here I will see you guys in the next one Please take care, peace


It is October 8th and yesterday there were four potential elimination games only one Elimination let's get into it What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another episode of talking baseball the games keep rolling Four more yesterday That'll be the most amount of baseball games played in a single day until the first day of spring training But things move on the rays fend off elimination Both National League series are going to a game five and the Yankees have their way with the twins This episode of talking baseball is brought to you by Peter McKee Dante Gizzy That's a that's a Gizzy. That's a fun name.   So is there Drake in MLB? It's Oliver Drake. That's the reliever for Tampa I thought it was Drake LaRouche It could be Drake LaRouche, but it's not it's ruining that white socks clubhouse one day at a time Yeah, and Jordan Chevrolet It's fun someone DM'd me And they were so happy that we got their name right there like no one ever gets my name right. It was Sal Morale It's like alright, thanks Sal, but also kind of back off. We're trying our damn best. Okay. No, we got his name, right No, I'm saying but that's a backhanded compliment. He's like you guys get every name wrong Can you believe you got mine, right? No, he was saying no one gets his right like he said teachers He was outside of the scope. Yeah, it was a straight-up compliment.  What up? I'm in New Jersey. I got Jake He's in Denver. It is noon on Tuesday There's only one game today, and I was up till 3 a.m. Doing talking to Yanks yesterday So this is a little later release. We apologize, but it's only one game So there's not that big of a rush so we can all we're all fine I actually Jake I needed the sleep so bad. I slept pretty well I've been crushing peeky blinders. I got 15 minutes left of the season. I had a pause it to record this. That's dedication, yeah And I'm taking the day off today after we do this and before the race game So I'm taking those five hours or so off and I'm gonna go get like a massage with Katie. I'm really excited. Hello. Yeah Big days. It's like feels like fall here. I was like, let's go apple picking. Let's get massages or let's go see Joker the movie She chose massages Might be able to mix another one in I want to go see Joker. That's got me spinning You know, I'm not a big movie guy, but I that's that's on my two movies a year I'm gonna go see in theaters if I if I had to pick that's got to be one of them I'll probably go to like the Friday matinee by myself on my birthday The movie podcast that we have on John Boy media that I was on for years Is reviewing Joker and they wanted me because I'm excited for Joker. They wanted me to go see it and come on I was like, I don't know. This has been a crazy schedule for us, but maybe I can do it So check that check out six packs in them if you haven't. All right Do you do were you able to watch all four games? I wasn't able to watch the raise one So when we get into it, I'm really gonna lean on your burn to find out so yeah, it was kind of funny because we were we were talking about the the Vaunted for four-day baseball schedule kind of the the NCA bracket comparison The raise I mean they jumped out to an 8-1 lead So it's like okay like Houston's good, but this one's over like the raise The raise literally have too many pitchers that they can't give up seven runs to tie this game Even if they wanted to So that tapped out and then I mean the st. Louis Atlanta game Felt like the story of the day Because that game was just incredible I mean it baseball doesn't get too much better than that and the Yankees, you know that it happened Everyone kind of saw it coming and then I mean the Nats really ran away with it and I don't know I think the the story was the raise sneaking it out But it happened so quick that it wasn't like it wasn't like it's three one in the ninth inning Can the raise fend off Houston like that moment never happened? So it was a lot of baseball. I think you there is definitely you could miss some moments and survive And that's st. Louis Atlanta game. I mean that kind of that kind of stole the show midday Yeah, if anyone didn't see Jake and I actually went live for the ninth inning and the 10th inning on YouTube It was pretty fun that series is the best series Yeah, hands down it's amazing. Well, we'll see what game five looks like I I Mean, it's kind of like I have fake money in the pot But I'm banking on a legendary Nats Dodgers game five because that's what I was hoping to be the best series Right now. They're at Atlanta and st. Louis are our handing it to them because that's just been incredible baseball It's been wild. All right, you have burns. We get let's go chronologically through Okay, are you ready? Yeah, Houston Tampa Houston versus Tampa in the trap on your mark Get set burn Potential sweep as we head to Tampa as Zach Efron grinky in the Stroh's hope to leave the rays in their ace Charlie Morton feeling salty Top one play the music Jose Little man with a lot of pop one nothing Stroh's at the TROP little rhyme well JP raise it stayed pretty quiet at the TROP JP raise fans You guys had a solid turnout proud of you guys bottom two. Let's get platinum Kevin Kiermeyer three run yabba-dabba ding dong three to one raise and they were just getting going G man as Choi goes deep show to get low low low low as Brandon goes yard Austin clears the meadows with two rb a two rbi double and a cap it off Tommy keeps it all in the family 8-1 raise after four you Lee Gurriel would drive in a couple late But so would the rays in a willy-a-dama's Homer raise get one at home ten three final I'm happy they got one at home, and I will say this From the highlights I saw and everything I heard the TROP had a great turnout and was a great atmosphere So in my face it was it was a great crowd Yeah, I was gonna I thought about Messenger messenger or tweeting at you and then I remembered you were you were doing an airport running you and you were juggling different balls But yeah, the TROP had a had a crowd And that's I think we figured out the secret if you want a baseball team in Tampa play all the games midday on on a weekday Monday weekday make the rays cool by making them like a skip class Oh boy Hello, you there I'm here Make the rays cool by making them Make the rays cool by making them like a skip day like you leave work or you leave school go to the raise game That might make them more appealing Yeah, ditched a go to go see the rays because right now the night thing ain't work in Tampa That cranky gets lit up 3.2 innings pitch five hits six earned runs Keermire does the big damage on him in the beginning Keermire is not a good offensive baseball player I mean, I don't know. He's a professional baseball player who's had a lot of at bat So I'm not trying to say that rudely. He's not the threat great He's not fair to say though like Keermire He never looks like just dead meat at the plate Is that fair like no, he doesn't look like Jackie Bradley. Yeah, like Jackie Bradley Jr. Sometimes you're like, oh my god Yeah Yeah, and I Keermire knows he's like I'm not a great hitter He's he hits a point in the at bat where he's like, hey Just stay tough put something in play because I'm one of the fastest guys in the league But yeah, man, he caught a he caught a changeup from Grinke that was kind of middle down and he tossed it and Keermire, I mean is Keermire like the heart and soul of the team Is that weird to say do they have a heart and soul of the team? I don't I mean, I don't know I think you have to ask a raised fan that dynamic. Yeah but This is a big weak link in the arm or Grinke Grinke. He's supposed to be the the nuke that's what we said at the trade deadline and This was a bad performance Now, yeah, I Have some like takes we're we're not a big take podcast if you've been listening to us for a while, you know that Because it's 2019 and people kind of like logic with a little bit of humor, huh talking baseball, but I'm kind of aggressive on Grinke man His his postseason history of late has not been good his last three starts So this one verse Tampa a 3.2 inning six earned run three homers given up And then he had two starts in 2017 five innings pitch three earn runs against the Dodgers You'll take that but then he's three point two four earn runs against Colorado and in that good Dodger start He had five walks so I'm kind of out on playoff Grinke right now and I also think there's a little bit of a mentality thing and I know this kind of gets tricky with Grinke Because he's had some anxiety and some mental stuff So I'm not taking an attack at that, but I do think there's genuinely something to Zach Grinke on basically every baseball team. He's ever been on Except maybe those Dodgers teams has been the best pitcher by a mile And now like we're saying that yeah at the trade deadline. It was like wow Houston does this. I Don't know like I just feel his mentality being the third starter I don't know. I think that does mess with the pitcher a little bit and hey, maybe this is blatant Yankees bias And I'm just hoping that's what happens in the ALCS. We're talking ourselves into it. Yeah, there's definitely a chance of that I won't lie But I think there is a little bit of merit to what I'm saying that being said Zach Grinke's next outing He could go seven shutout double-digit case and I want to be shocked. Yeah but you know a He's not Verlander and Cole No, I that that's the bigger. That's the bigger takeaway verse Zach Grinke. He's a good starter But you have a chance. I mean if we saw what Cole and Verlander have done And you know the rays don't have necessarily the elite of elite line-ups, but I mean they just got mowed down mowed down Well, then they brought in Miley Who's been awful right and he was bad. Yeah, and that's That's the thing and well, we'll talk about the Tampa Houston game later Houston in a seven-game set. I mean depending how much they have to use Miley in that bullpen And hey, I mean third Wade Miley came in he went double double walk It in a seven-game set you can get four starts out at Verlander and Cole sure If you break them once, I mean, I think you got a good chance if you break them twice I mean Miley looks bad. We'll see if Granke can turn it around But yeah, Wade Miley is in a bad place right now and that the numbers out of this series that'll come from the Houston Bullpen are gonna look ugly. Yeah Maybe that's also in comparison to their starters, but When we'll we'll preview this game at the end after we done recap and but good for the race and good for their Fans, they got a win at home. You know how much money that gets them that they cannot spend on their team Yeah Hope I hope so what are they charging for race playoff tickets? Well, I found out that the team split the gate. Did you know that? I Didn't know that. Yeah, so the MLB teams they straight up 50 50 split the gate But the rays get all concessions parking You know drinks All that extra stuff the rays get all the straight profit to them. I Want to look up tickets to this game. Is that rude? No, what do you think? What do you think the cheapest seat in the houses? 50 bucks? Let's see Tampa Yes, the pub has 50 so with taxes, but Those are seats one through three upper box 305 if you're trying to go nice.  Yeah, you ready? Yeah on your mark Get set burr Atlanta trying to finish off the cards in st. Louis Daniel Radcliffe Hudson tries to perform some magic against Dallas Keichel and in the first inning the fighting cards lean on their massive Rides gold Schmidt and Ozuna go yard work in the first. It's two nothing STL Atlanta would tack one on on an Albee sack fly. Remember that name speaking of remember that name Marcel the show Ozuna so nice. He does it twice two homers and an elimination game That's free anhyzer bush for the rest of your life in st. Louis But in the fifth the mighty braves it tastes just like Dan's be swanson scores on some fishy Defense by Maddie carpet third and then remember Albee's to run moonshot from the little fella Four to three braves.  It's going to game five I found myself just rooting for whatever team was down or if it was tied whatever team just like whatever made the moment better is what I was rooting for and We got it like a lot of the times I Feel bad for Tehran at the end there cuz he gets thrown in that's kind of a weird storyline on its own But I mean Yachty's the story, but Ozone is gonna get overlooked because the dude had two home runs Yeah Ozone will get some love a two-home or day in st. Louis though. They'll remember that for a while, but Yachty's the story Tying run and go ahead RBI. Yeah. Hey each each got two runs, right? Yachty I will say this about Tehran. You're right. He's in a tough spot. He was the injury replacement He didn't think he'd be playing this series here He is an extras the one thing that I did see it was actually from our buddy Craig Caldera who does NBC Sports Baseball he said The one thing that was kind of tough is that Yachty is a known first pitch swinger Yeah, so they threw they threw an inside fastball which Yachty's just looking to get a ball in the air to try to hit a sack Fly and so you almost that first pitch you kind of have to dirt that or put it somewhere Somewhere Yachty can't reach because he wants that first pitch well, but just Well, we'll focus on that up at because I mean that's a really good call like why would you put something in the zone when a sack fly wins the game and When we were live they showed them the score bug that Yachty was like oh for 15 against Tehran Yeah, there's one for 15 one for 15 And I looked up the each at bat and they were all lying out fly out deep fly ball deep fly ball So I was like well that one for 15 doesn't mean shit because all he needs is a good out and then to put it in the zone right there It's the same thing with like the Dan's be swanson pitch when you intention when the cards intentionally walked in the can to get to Dan's Be and then just opened them up right middle zone like these guys want to swing so the that There's a whole lot about Yachty bat throwing or throwing the bat and then doing the like throat slash. Do you care? I think it's awesome I enjoy it throat slash is a tough one just because I mean there are kids in there and stuff It's like not a good thing like there's never like I don't know like and maybe it's New York buys But there's fun in the uber thing like you've been saying you have one fact about the guy He's pitching in the game. You're gonna say something about it So the Yankee fans channel a little bit the old throat slash.  That's funny. I don't we're a little bit We're a little bit opposite because I love the throat slash. That's just straight out of like wrestling.  I don't mind that the bat throw like into the outfield That was like that's where my mom kicked it in my hand. I was like that's dangerous, dude There's people out there Yeah, I think I think we're flipped on that I do it. I only saw that main angle Because yeah, I was trying to picture. Okay. He hits the sack fly. I'm picturing. I mean Akuna's in center He's going to left field near Deval just to check out the throw was the right fielder anywhere near there Shame on TBS or ever had this game for not showing us a wide angle of that bat flip I wonder if anyone has like footage of it from their iPhone on Twitter if anyone has seen Full footage of that, please tweet it at me at Johnboy underscore Yeah, cuz yeah with that You're right and I do get that a little bit. I did have that thought I was like wait if Yachty Molina is right past first base throne is bat. That's uh, that's there Had to go pretty far. I'm assuming it's not a story because they weren't there I mean it but I don't know but yeah, I mean I like that I think bat toss generation where people try to find the new bat toss we saw the DD fallen over himself the other day Jean Carlo had the walk bat toss Yachty with the throw the price. I mean Bryce Harper's home run derby He won. I mean people remember the bat toss is like the exclamation point And so the yacht but he's the biggest from Toronto. Oh, yeah But I mean the Yachty bat toss will be remembered forever. It's a bat fling. It's like in a bat flinging contest. Yeah, I Like it. I don't care. It's all fun.  I tweet out the gifts. I Tweet out the gifts and My replies just get lit up by people on either sides of it.  It is a simple bat fling throw slash That's the passion baby. Oh, yeah, I get it a lot of people saying the throat slash was in response to Akuna Because after Akuna makes the last out he he does it across his chest like Braves, you know So it's a little different but whatever. Yeah, that was a throat slash Yachty's was a throat slash. Yes. Akuna's is across the chest, right? Yeah, I don't think those are if someone thinks Yachty was doing that as a shot at Akuna That's just trying to fabricate something. Oh, that's my entire timeline. Oh, yeah, but I know that's if I was a Braves fan I'd probably be doing the same thing because that's what you do to psych yourself up.  I mean Keiko kind of got got he got smacked around right away Yeah, I mean the two homers in the first And then yeah, it gets pulled after 3.1 and they go to Luke Jackson, which is always exciting times on Twitter And on the field he he looked pretty solid for the most part Yeah, Shane Shane Green looked really good They they pushed him for 1.2 The only run he gives up is the one that goes off the top of Freddie Freeman's glove that if that ball gets caught What are we saying right now? That was awkward at first base cuz Yachty was so Oh, yeah, dude, he was like you could like he was like smiling and you could hear it Standing right next to Freddie Freeman who's so mad because if it was an inch He had an inch longer glove He makes that, you know or just like a slightly better vertical or whatever you want to think in your head And they're standing next to each other and Yachty's just like And Freeman so mad and Yeah, and that was and yeah Yachty. I think Yachty was Yachty I'm not saying he made an extra effort to make sure Freddie heard his excitement But he was okay with Freddie knowing he was excited about his ripper single that drove in the run I Think the other story that's kind of getting buried here is this this series has been a lot about Bad bullpens. I mean Carlos Martinez the Braves pretty much everyone. We had some really good bullpen stuff Throughout this game the the Cardinals they go They go what five five point one shut out of their bullpen That's pretty impressive. We didn't really think we'd see that this series and like I said with the Braves I mean Shane Green if that if an inch difference from Freddie Freeman We could have had the Braves kind of close out this series with their bullpen. So Gonna be gonna be a good game five, huh? If this doesn't go the Braves way in game five You can look to that Chris Martin injury and the trickle-down effect And it's pretty strong Yeah So that's a bummer I Whatever which ever team loses this series can point at five different things and say we should have won the series Yeah, but I that that I mean Tehran's only on the roster because he's right Luke Jackson gives up a lot of runs In the first game because he didn't you know have a he didn't know there's a weird warm-up situation And then they run out of bullpen arms with Martin gone. So That injury really like messed up two games kind of Yeah, I don't know.  He's he's essentially been out since game one.  It's still 2-0 until top seven It's a twin killing and I'm not talking double plays DD Gregorius the twin killer RBI single stretches the lead to three Eddie money Rosario puts Minnesota on the board with a solo shot But Cameron Maven is gonna take me home tonight a solo shot of his own the dagger by the defensive Replacement two D's two eyes two RBI's the Gregorius B. I. G. scores Torres Seve to Kainley to Otto to the goose Chad Green to Britain to Chappy Yanks win 5-1 so weep the series 3-0 advance to the ALCS If you haven't watched this game Go watch like the defensive highlights. I know everyone. Yeah, I know everyone hates the Yankees There was like there was four plays Where the twins hit it on the screws? I think they had six balls over there They had nine balls hit over 100 miles per hour and seven of them went for outs The Yankees defense had never seen it so good. It was crazy It was crazy And I felt bad for the twins because they were hitting the ball hard Yeah, there's a you'd I think the judge highlight was circulating pretty well so no drove one it was a bullet to right field and The what was getting people beefing in in the replies was that they said judge was the only guy that can catch that There's other really good defensive right fielders. Don't get us wrong. Mookie Betts is incredible There's a lot of guys that can play a really good right field Aaron judges six seven frame was a big factor in him Catching that ball because it was a dart and it was full extension. That was incredible Glaber made two great plays and then in the ninth the Yankees tried to push Chapman for more than one inning which they hadn't done since Middle middle of the season. I think what were they saying June?  It just never happened the Yankees just never let it happen It was he we were talking about the the shots of the stadium when they were going around the crowd and it was Devastating it was there was no hope There's no hope the the twins had bases loaded no outs in the second inning with a chance to break it open Yeah, so no up Who's after snow? Arise and then cave no Let me get in there is so no is definitely the first batter and he's he had a really tough series He was just overmatched by everyone's slider He went one for 211 for 12 with like eight runners and maybe it turns into a growth thing for him I know, you know young Aaron judge young Gary Sanchez Those guys had big slider problems that they've kind of grown from a little bit. I was so no Marwin in cave So he he gets to know to pop out with a good battle Severino does with bases loaded no outs Strikes out Marwin and then strikes out cave For me that was kind of the game. That was kind of like okay got through that Seve was a bit shakier than I'd want him to be couldn't really control his fastball We've seen this from Severino a lot Yankee fans. He gets to amped up And it's kind of a bummer Yeah, and it's it's tough because there's some mental gymnastics We have to do with this Severino as Yankee fans because I mean his pitch count I think 83 is the most pitches. He's thrown that got him through four innings So again, we'll see if they maybe try to push that or if he does have a couple clean frames Maybe he can get you the five or six But the Yankees still believe in their bullpen to a degree the confidence in Kainley and out of Vino Isn't where it used to be at the same time the confidence in Chad green is up and even I think Britain they they just believe he can twirl it and do his thing and Yeah for for the twins Oda Rizzy I mean gave you everything he asked for five innings pitch to earn runs their bullpen just couldn't do it And you know you do mention Chris Martin with the Braves and how you know changing the pecking order in the bullpen That is a factor You know, they even tried to bring in Taylor Rogers their closer earlier in this one Yanks still got one off of them The there was no fear factor out of the bullpen For the twins and I they they just they they didn't have enough they didn't have enough arms at all No, I mean well, it's not like they're bats did anything the Yankees held them to seven runs over three games and yeah two home runs Three home runs for the team that hit the most home runs was a three two in the first game and then the solo here. I Think so I think so. I believe so Yeah, so Twins went into the plays playoffs as the weakest team and they they sure exited as the weakest team that made the playoffs Yeah, only team that gets swept And I mean they've got that playoff streak now, which like is totally a thing and that kind of sucks Arise if if you're a baseball person who's who's looking to learn some new players Arise their young infielder He hit in the 300s this season he was questionable coming into this series with an ankle thing He tore it up. He hit 334 in the regular season in 92 games 326 at bats he's kind of got this old-school rod Karoo approach and they were saying that on the broadcast and I was like Guys, let's go easy with the rod Karoo comparison, but he does. He's really hunched over He's kind of got one of those old-school like Karoo 20 Tony Gwyn approaches I think those guys are gonna be more popular going forward because Infields and teams are gonna give you singles and I think if you have an approach like that and can handle the bat well I mean you can casually hit 320 Yeah, well, you know the game corrects itself and I think we're starting to see that and people are waiting for it It's kind of a bigger conversation. I remember I Remember they were asking Rob Manfred and stuff about making the shift illegal and doing all this stuff And he said usually the game corrects itself It hasn't yet But we still think it may and I think with guys like Marlon Gonzalez DJ arise and some more guys that are gonna come up I think you're right like this for a little bit This will be the way to get hits and a lot of guys will say why don't I just do that? Yeah, I would I would love if one of the smaller market teams just went out and got a bunch of these guys And we're just a fucking nightmare to play because you had a bunch of guys that could just slap it around like that Maybe that's the old man and me talking a little bit, but Yeah, and Jim I had one thing because my my big thing that I was kind of on the series was that odor is he at home gave them Their best chance to win a game which I think we agree on and I mean best chance is best chance It's it's however you want to look at it, but at the same time if the twins had any hope any hope to Actually try to win this series Barrios and odor is he had to be super special by saving odor is he for game three you're only getting one start out of them So I kind of came off that a little bit just cuz it's like alright Like in our heads because we had been putting down the twins It kind of made sense cuz like alright. This is your chance to get one. Don't pin me in there I thought it was dumb from the get-go Well, but you do think odor is he at home was their best chance to win a game Out of the three I would have never put odor I would have never done the pitching how they did I said that from the jump when they announced right when they announced Dobnack and not odor is he for game two that was an automatic sweep I mean you saw my face you were like you said the twins still might get one and I was just like no Like they're right, but okay, so you're Rocco Baldele. How would you have lined up their pitching? I would have done odor is he or Barrios one or two without a doubt You have to win games right away and conceding game two to have a better shot at game three is just a losing mentality Right, but then what are you doing game three? You figure it out.  So I think it's it's arguing over nothing Yeah Yeah, I mean Yankees move on there the first team to advance we thought a lot of teams were gonna advance But everyone everyone else fended off Elimination besides twins Yankees celebrate in their building And then I went to a bar afterwards did they yeah, there's some picks. Oh cool All right Next game. I don't really know much about this game either. I was watching but it wasn't like inputting Yeah, all right here we go On your mark Get set burn Mad Max Scherzer in a do or die game versus the Dodgers as they try to rich Netflix and chill on a winning flight home from the Capitol Turner turns on one in the first. It's a solo shot one nothing Dodgers Uh-oh, how would the Nats respond with their backs against the wall? Anthony Bourdain Rendon has no reservations as he drives in two on a sack fly in an RBI single To one Nats and then the chiropractor Ryan Zimmerman with the backbreaker three run Yacker for the Nats legend kind of a dream postseason for him Scherzer's the story seven innings pitch one earn run seven K's Rendon tax on an insurance run do little in Hudson hold six one Nats We're going to game five Oh Scherzer an elimination game Scherzer was great was pretty good your grandma could hit him. Oh Yeah, for sure She had bumped off him All day all day Turner got Scherzer right away, which was kind of interesting because we kind of said like hey watch out He's got good got good numbers against him, but then that was all a really it Yeah, I mean The Nats have or excuse me the Dodgers have five hits total one of those comes off Hudson late Yeah, Scherzer locks in when he finds his change up. It's kind of awesome to watch I mean all of his pitches are awesome to watch but his change up like gives gives me the shivers and Zimmerman man Ryan Zimmerman didn't have Well, I mean he's getting older he had some huge huge seasons in his past, but this year he was kind of Like how he Kendrick outplayed him essentially for the first base job as Struble Cabrera had been playing really well He had a negative war this year in 52 games and now in the postseason. He has the giant shattered bat Single that helped them win the wild card game and now he has this and it's uh, I mean it's I Was gonna say it's what makes baseball special, but it's what makes sports special I mean having a guy like this two years removed from a 36 Homer 108 RBI season now. He's 34 six homers 27 RBI's He's a role player if that and he's had two giant moments and one game to play One game to play. It's awesome, man do you I Want to talk about the next matchup, but I know we're gonna do it because it's I'm excited for it, but This was never really like in doubt, right? I mean once well I guess once that fifth inning happened in the big Zimmerman home run it's six to one and They they went they had Scherzer still on the mound at that point for two more innings Then they go do little on Hudson who are there two guys out of the bullpen? They still somewhat have faith in Yeah And they get the job done do little is my best friend, so that's really good Yeah, I think you know from Rendon ties it in the third and you know There's a couple innings there where it's like I I think both teams you're trying your hardest do your best You know that but you're kind of looking for that like oh god Where is there gonna be a booted ball the throw that pulls the first baseman off like I've been saying? Then Rendon gets the RBI single you have a 2-1 lead It's in your building Scherzer's on the bump and then Zimmerman basically ended it there You think I'm just I'm happy for Zimmerman Kendrick's got the start as well at second. So like he didn't even get moved off But I can't I was gonna say Kendrick kind of like was messing up But he's still still getting the game. He got two hits to and Zimmerman gets two hits as well To two for four, I think Yeah, I mean you kind of have to start Zimmerman just because that's that's how the world works as Drupal Cabrera Who had been so hot for them? Haman Kendrick are probably the debate at second base I'd have to look into their numbers versus Bueller, but maybe we'll talk about that on the next episode of talking baseball Oh Is there anything else about this game that we need to do dude the Dodgers Belanger He got another hit. So I think that's over with now He's got three hits in his last two games good for Belanger to shake that because when it was 0 for 12 It was getting loud or whatever. It's starting starting to but he turned it fine Jack Peterson goes 0 for 4 months. He goes 0 for 4. That's like a tough task Good job by Scherzer going after those guys and then Rich Hill Walked everyone. Yeah, Rich No offense to Rich Hill, but and it's the company you keep a little bit.  This is how it will be going forward a lot with them. We get in the CSS But it's just rays Versus Astros trying to stave off elimination again Who's the pitching it's opener versus Verlander? Yeah, Diego Castillo will open for the rays versus Justin Verlander who is technically on short rest Things like that in the playoffs don't matter to Justin Verlander, but you'd say that about another pitcher, so I guess I'll mention it I'm excited man. I don't know.  I think the rays are gonna do the equivalent of You know the the small team that's rushing it You know there they're gonna use the the army or navy offense where they run the triple option and try to sneak out First downs and control the ball and just hope that Houston can't get it going The first inning you we pointed to every playoff game because the first inning sets the tone and the game path and all of that Diego Castillo Like he needs to be clean if Houston gets to Diego Castillo They're saying okay Verlander on the bump Whatever chump they bring out of the bullpen. We don't care. We'll get to them if Diego Castillo gets them You've been in these opener games as a Yankees fan.    Sure Walk dope walked Austin Meadows. That's a great start double-play ball struck out Choi Diaz fly ball low foul fly ball Darno ground out 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 3rd inning Wendell K Kiermeyer fly out a Domus fly out another 1 2 3 inning and the fourth inning Meadows popped out fam fly it out. He walked G man Choi bases loaded and then Yandy Diaz grounded out So four batters that inning they're improved and the fifth inning they let off with a single Then three outs to strikeouts. So what other four innings and then in the sixth inning 1 2 3 strikeout walk ground ball double play and in the seventh he struck out the side I mean He gave up one hit Jake Since joining Houston, he has nine starts 10 games They're eight and two in those games 61 innings pitched 61 innings pitched 34 hits um A 2 5 1 e r a opponents are hitting 164 To the tune of a 0.510 ops. So basically The worst hitter on your team. He makes everyone You expect more of the same like I wouldn't expect him to go one hit through seven But I expect verlander to go through seven innings and the worst damage. I would say is three runs Like that would be my worst Start prediction for yeah, you're you're not trying to get runs off of verlander. You're trying to get him out of the game like Literally best case best case is the raise. We're having a special day up and down the lineup You get verlander out after six. He's going seven The key is to not let him go eight or nine to be honest um Because the second he comes out of the game you get momentum You you truly do you see someone who's not just in verlander And you're ready to go um I don't know. Yeah, you hope to get like two solo shots or maybe a solo shot and then a small ball run And then hope your pitching holds and if you need something you can get their bullpen, but it's um It's it's a tough ask You know who the raised best hitters have been The raised best hitters have been has g-man been good um He's a good on base percentage But he's only got one hit and one hitting three walks So who's doing it for the raise willy adamis has four hits and seven at bats with two walks And one of the four hits was a home run another one was a double. So willy adamis has been doing it And matt duffy. Well, he only played one game Tommy fan has four hits and 12 at bats and austin meadows has three So it's really adamis fan meadows have been getting it done Consistently and then you have kirmeyer with the big rbi Yeah, and in in game three. I mean it Everyone got invited to the party except travestar. No um But yet duffy meadows fam choy garcia. Wow kirmeyer and adamis all had hits um and willy adamis man He was a guy that he was kind of a yankee killer for a little bit young guy.  We did this the other day that 20 home runs aren't that impressive I'll say this 20 home runs from a 24 year old shortstop Still hold something and that's what willy adamis did in this regular season and now in the post season.  I don't know how much they're really going to use him will harris is going to be I mean, I think he's up in the packing order, right? He's he's got a lot of post season experience with them too Yeah, he's he's the one that came in and relieved after ozuna after ozuna couldn't close the other day so there's We're we're a Matt ozuna outing and a good will harris outing away from like controversy in houston Yeah, I mean harris has a lot of experience. He was yeah He was on the team in 2017 He was on the team in 2015 when they were had some playoff games. He's been around um Which is kind of weird because you don't think of him as like a guy I don't really know him that well You still holding out for the trop to get involved Oh, yeah, always. Yeah always Nothing got nothing happened now. They're the night now. They're the one game at night a lot of more eyes on their tv On tv screens. So yeah, we need a catwalk shot And jimmy raised fans the ones that are listening and rightfully so should should be mad at us because he basically just got mentioned for a Second in the burn charlie morten The only run he gives up is a solo shot to el tuve in the first five innings pitch nine k's against his former crew So I guess kind of missed that before And my favorite pitch ninja of the year so far charlie morten scissor action. It's the latest scissor. I've seen on two pitches I don't I think it's a glitch I think there's some frames missing in the two seamer like I don't think that's the real movement, right? No, but I honestly like sometimes i'll be recording games and i'll make gifts But it will have a jumpy action like that and I won't post it because it's if I go frame by frame It's clearly there's a frame missing that makes it look like that So like It's still amazing without the glitch But that's the fact that there the fact there's a chance that it's not missing a frame though I think that says something I'd put a hundred bucks that it is Like as a guy who makes pitching gifts as well I would throw down a ton of money that there's Something a little off with how much that two seamer picks up speed as it moves left to right Which is just two seam fastball not how physics works But it's still amazing that they cross each other That yeah, that says enough about it Coles was cool with his three pitches Yeah That was pretty cool All right. I think that ends this one. We'll be back tomorrow to recap The rays and astros whatever happens tonight and then talk about the two upcoming game fives Which is awesome. We had two wild card games now We got two more elimination games coming up or you know game seven feels So nl playoffs man. We got a bit spoiled. I wonder I wonder what's the most I mean, maybe I'm sure there's been more than just two in the ds's before If the rays somehow win today, we are spoiled. Yeah, that's five Out of seven game sevens That's crazy. Yeah. All right. Thank you guys We will be back tomorrow. I appreciate it if you want to leave a five star rating and review on itunes That would be fantastic. If not, just keep coming back and listening


Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers made the correct decision to delay their state's democratic primaries because in-person voting is not something that should be practiced at a time when self-quarantine and social distancing are of the utmost importance if we actually want to overcome this global pandemic. Except after he made that announcement, guess what happened? Republicans decided to effectively veto that move because the courts weighed in and they actually think voters should risk their lives to exercise their right to democracy. Because as Alec Seitzwald of NBC News reports, Wisconsin's controversial election is back on for Tuesday and voters will get no extension on the deadline to return absentee ballots despite the coronavirus crisis thanks to two top courts that sided with Republicans on Monday. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, issued an executive order Monday afternoon postponing the election to June 9th, citing the public health risk, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court hours later overturned the governor, citing what the Republican-controlled legislature that had appealed his order. Later in the day, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Wisconsin Republicans on a separate issue, voting 5-4 along ideological lines to overturn a lower federal court's decision to extend the deadline for absentee balloting. Election officials have faced an unprecedented crush of requests for absentee ballots from voters looking to avoid the polls during the pandemic, so a federal judge Thursday granted voters and officials an extra week to cast ballots and have them counted, but the U.S. Supreme Court rejected that extension, meaning that the absentee ballots received after 8 p.m. Tuesday will no longer be accepted. The four dissenting justices all on the court's liberal wing said the decision will result in the massive disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of voters who did not show up in person because of the spread of the coronavirus, but could not cast their absentee ballots in time. So this is absolutely reckless. It's irresponsible, but it's not surprising. Republicans have basically showed their cards.   These people are peasants. Their lives don't matter to Republicans. So, you know, after putting pressure on the Democratic governor, he finally listened to people. He took the advice of the health professionals, decided to postpone this primary, and Republicans decided to step in and say, you know what? We think voters should risk their lives. Now, let me remind you what happened the last time when the Democratic Party irresponsibly went on with primaries. In fact, the Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, decided to allow voting to continue. This is what happened after March 17th, when people voted on Super Tuesday 3. Broward County poll workers in Florida tested positive for COVID-19. So acknowledge what this is going to cause. This is going to cause sickness and death and suffering. Why?  Their lives are completely disposable. Now, you can blame Tony Evers to an extent because he should have acted sooner. But at the end of the day, the buck stops with the highest court. They won't even allow for an extension of absentee ballots. That tells you a lot about just how broken our system is. This is not democracy. This is voter suppression in its highest form. Because if you're telling people they have the right to vote but they have to risk their lives to vote, that's not democracy. That is not democracy. In authoritarian regimes, when people are intimidated into voting, we don't call that democracy. So we can't call that democracy in this instance when it happens at home. You should never have to choose between your health and safety and exercising your right to vote. You can extend the deadline for absentee ballots. You can institute vote by mail. They're choosing to not do that because they don't care about people.  These are Republicans. So if Democratic Party voters die, that doesn't hurt them at all. In fact, they probably think that that's good.  Human life means nothing to them. Human life is completely disposable. The number one thing that matters to them is capital, is making money, is protecting the profits of large multinational corporations, which is why we saw the Tories in Great Britain talk about herd immunity, which is why Donald Trump for a while was contemplating just sending everyone back to work and, you know, opening up everything again. Now, thankfully, the experts got to him and chose, you know, got him to not do that. So he chose otherwise. But I mean, Republicans don't care about people. This shouldn't surprise anyone. They are a death cult at this point. And I need people to acknowledge how serious this is. We don't live in a real democracy. I don't think you could really argue that we lived in an adequate democracy because, you know, we don't really have that much say over policy outcomes. We barely get to choose, you know, who wins because we have the media doing nonstop propaganda at the behest of their corporate advertisers. So this is just another nail in the coffin of democracy. And it's really sad. This is serious. So I don't even know what to say in this situation. People are still going to risk their lives to come out and vote.  And Republicans just don't care. Now, to be fair, Democrats don't really care as well. Tom Perez is trying to dissuade states from postponing their primaries, right? In that last Super Tuesday 3, we saw Joe Biden telling people to come out and vote. It was incredibly irresponsible. So at the end of the day, we have to acknowledge that if we are not allowed to exercise our right to vote, free from intimidation, free from threats to our lives, that is not democracy. So whatever happens during this primary, the results are automatically invalid. They should be labeled invalid because if thousands upon thousands of people don't feel comfortable voting, then you can't say that a legitimate democracy is taking place because that's not happening. So this is morally reprehensible.  They literally don't care. They could not care any less.


And now, another tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. One island amusement park, late one summer night. The smell of popcorn and Frank. The music of the carousel. The thunder of the lower coaster. The steady sound of shots from the shooting gallery. The seat was called the Barkers along the midway. All the garish life and color of a carnival. And hiding behind them, the shadows that off the lives of the carnival. From the hunchback of little balloons to Danny King, the diving wonder of the world. Oh, but this way, boss. Danny King is down at the end of the midway. Oh, this is fun island, isn't it? Somehow I've never been out here before. Yeah, you go more for nightclubs and racetracks, boss. But a lot of people like this kind of fun. I wonder if we shouldn't look into it. What a potential customer's out here. Yeah, they're all two-bit spenders, every one of them. Oh, there's Danny King's pitch. Hey, you see that diving tower? That's him now climbing up on it. This is where Danny's been hiding now. I wonder we couldn't find him. Yeah. You know, if I hadn't seen his mug and had newspaper, we'd better hurry, boss. He's already up on a platform. You mean he's really gonna dive from up there? He must be 60 feet up. 75. And he dives into a canvas pool six feet deep. Yeah, he's a bum, this guy. He's a no-goodnik, but in college, he was a diving champ. Yeah, we better stop here. I was getting too sick. I don't like that. Okay, boss. When you are featured attraction, Danny King, the human field. The diving wonder of the world. It's free, folks. It's free. Step up, step up, step up. In just a moment, this daring young man you see standing far above your head is going to dive a feet of water. Yes, folks. Can he perform the speed of their ink and defy feet into a tiny canvas tank? He's getting ready, folks. He's getting ready. What are you gonna do? And here he comes, folks. He's in the air. And he's plunging through the plane. He's passing for us. Is he going to miss the tank? Very neatly done. Charlie, if Danny has to earn his living like this, I gotta be as ten thousand dollars to pay. That's right. But he's got a rich uncle. A real rich uncle. Quite true. All right. Suppose we give him time to get dressed. Then we'll have our little chat with Danny King. Yeah, what is it? Two guys outside want to see you. I don't like your looks. They got to look at the racket to me. Call them off, Parker. I don't want to see them. That's too bad, Danny. Because we're here. Well, broken. You can't come busting in here like that. All right, little man. It's okay, Parker. I know these fellas. You heard them, man. Why don't you say so, Danny? Well, Danny, this is a pleasant surprise. What do you want? Just to say hello and collect ten thousand dollars. I don't owe you anything. You got twenty-five thousand from me and I stole part of that. My uncle threw me out. That ought to satisfy you. Unfortunately, no. I still owe ten thousand dollars of your IOU. Well, I haven't got it. Tell him, Mike. He knows somebody who does have it. Charlie means your uncle, Danny. Harvey K. Randolph. You'll never give me a cent. I forged his check for the last five thousand you suckered out of me and my uncle threw me out. Oh, that's too bad, isn't it, Mike? Listen. Someday I'll get at least a million. He's got it now, but it's held in trust for me. When I get it, I'll pay you double. Triple! All right, Danny. If you need time, we'll give you time. Yeah. I... I knew you'd be reasonable. I pride myself on being reasonable. So I've given you a whole week in which to pay me that ten thousand dollars or else, Danny. Or else. Not good, huh, Danny?  Yeah, my broken place for keeps, but... Look, if your uncle... He has absolutely no use for me. I've told you how I forged that check and then he...  Sink or swim, huh? Yeah. But look, with your life and Danny... My life. It wouldn't matter to Uncle Harvey. He told me to never come to him again and he met it.  There's no soul of... Wait. Betty! Who's Betty? Betty Thompson. I sort of a combination nurse and secretary for Uncle Harvey.  Well, what can she do? Oh, Uncle Harvey dotes on her. And she dotes on me. She's in love with me. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll phone her. Make a date. She's around here? Yeah, I'm sure of it. Every summer, Uncle Harvey takes a suite at the Grand Beach Hotel. That's only a couple of miles up the beach from here. She might be followed. We're not able to get away. The Grand Beach, huh? That's a real Ritzy Joyce. He almost got to have a passport to get inside. I got it. The hotel's outdoor swimming pool. What about it? Well, it's open to the public on Tuesdays. Tomorrow's Tuesday. And Betty could flip down for a swim and Uncle Harvey wouldn't think anything of it. Here. I'll phone her now and tell her to join me in the pool tomorrow afternoon. Danny! Oh, Danny! Pretend not to notice me. Just swim alongside me. Oh, I thought you would never come to me. Well, I was late. Now listen. Okay. Climb out of the pool. Uh-huh. And lie on the couch. All right. Just casually. I'll come and lie down a couple of feet away. All right.  You can talk and not be noticed. Yes, Danny. Anything you say. Go on. Climb out now. All right. And don't look back yet. No! No! Danny! We can talk now, Betty. But don't look at it.  No, I don't want anyone even to suspect we've been in contact. Well, glad I'm here. Oh, you know I am. I've thought about you so much. You said you were going to write. Uncle Harvey wouldn't have liked it.  Oh, Danny, darling, where have you been? A lot of places. Right now I'm like a pretty good living. Two hundred a week. Danny, that's wonderful. Your uncle... Oh. What about him? If he knew he might forgive you. At least, well, he might. You know him better than that. Well, he's terribly stern, I know. But if he thought you turned over a new leaf... Well, I have. But I'm in trouble. Danny, no. Yeah, I need ten thousand dollars. If I don't get it, I'll be killed. Don't say that. Please tell me that isn't true. It is true. You've got to help me. I don't want to, but how? I don't know how. Danny! Don't talk. Pretend to be asleep. What is it? Your uncle. He's waving to me from his bedroom window. He's gone now. From his bedroom window? Yes. The apartment overlooks the pool. It's on the fifth floor, directly above us. See? Up there. Oh, see? See? Right above us. He often watches me when I come swimming. You see me? No, no, no. The towel hit your face. Hmm, so that's really old boy. Hangs up. The sea air is good for him. He gets terrible headaches sometimes. Yeah, I should weep. Now listen, I have to have ten thousand inside six days. Six days? Danny, how can we get it? From Uncle Harvey. You'll have to give him some sob story. My life depends on it. Elizabeth, you are not experienced in the art of life. But Mr. Randolph... This whole story about needing ten thousand dollars to save your brother in San Francisco from jail. It's a complete fabrication now isn't it? No, no, sir. Jack is desperate and I'll pay it back out of my salary.  The only person you would lie for is Daniel. Am I right? Yes, Mr. Randolph. Danny needs the money. He needs it terribly. What difficulty is he in now? He's some gambler. They threaten to kill him. I see. But he's reformed. Really, he has. If you can only help him out of this trouble... Elizabeth, you may think me hard-hearted, but I've helped Daniel out of an endless succession of difficulties in the last few years each time he swore to recover. I know, but this time he has, I'm sure of it. Ah, you love it. You must help him. Please say that you will. There is only one help for Daniel to solve his own problems and stand on his own feet. Now these men are simply trying to scare him. Now it hurts me to say this to you, but for Daniel's own sake the answer is no. It's starting to rain. When it says we'll have three days of rain, maybe more. It's just dandy. Hey, Danny, this ain't doing any good lapping up the booze that way.  Tonight you almost missed the pool. Pretty near, give me hot bed. Now don't worry about me. I can dive blindfolded on a pitch-dark night, drunk or sober. Oh, ease up, Danny. Listen, I passed that Betty kid in the hall, born a rise out. What'd you say to her? I told her to stop bothering me. I needed $10,000 and she brings me $500. Well, she loves you, Danny. She's doing her best. That uncle of yours just won't sell a shell out of time. No, no, I gotta sink a swim on my own, he says. You can only get my hands around his throat and choke and choke and choke. All right, Danny, now take it easy. Yeah, well, three days left, he tells me to take it easy. A million dollars I have coming to meet with Uncle Harvey. He dies or I reach 28. Only I'll never get it because I won't reach 28. You keep on living and I'll be dead. He'll only die now.  What is it, Danny? What's the matter? It's just an idea. It's a really terrific idea. I don't intend to get killed, see? No matter what I have to do, I don't intend to get killed. You get me? No, no, I'm not sure I do. It doesn't matter. Just find me the name of a tailor who can make a bellhop uniform in a hurry and keep his mouth shut. How do you like it, Buck? How does it look, huh?  Hey, what's a Santa pocket? A Grand Beach Hotel. Hey, Danny, what is this? Simple. Now I'm a bellhop of the Grand Beach. Okay, now, ready? Of course not. But I'm paying a call there tonight and if anybody notices me, I'm just a bellhop. Nobody to look at twice.  Look, forget everything. Just don't ever spill a word of it. Oh, not me. Now to keep my mouth shut. Hey, listen. Is that dungeon? Yeah. The weather's getting worse. Rain for two more days anywhere the radio shows. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Now listen, I have a date with Betty tonight. I called her up and told her I made a settlement with Brogan. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I'm to meet her at the Quartet Cafe at 1 a.m. She thinks I'm gonna ask her to marry me. I'll be a little late. You'll meet her and keep her there till I get there. Okay, if you say so. I'll be there at 10 after. Just keep her there. Who is it? A message from Miss Thompson. From Elizabeth? Just a moment. Let me see you. Oh, yes, one of the bellboys. Well, I'd like to be certain. All right, come on in. Thank you, sir. Now, you say you have a message. Let me have it. Daniel. Yes, Uncle Harvey.  I had to see you. I had to talk to you. Elizabeth already has pleaded your case and the answer's no. Uncle Harvey, I need $10,000.    They'll leave me lying in the gutter. You'll like that, won't you? You've always said I belong in the gutter. Well, no melodramatics. Possibly someone is trying to scare you. And part of your growing up is to learn not to be so easily scared. I am scared of dying.  I'm sorry. I cannot go back on the principles that I live by.  Why yet? A gun. And loaded and silenced.  Surely you know you can't kill me if that's what you plan. I have a million dollars coming to me and I can only collect it now if you die. Well, I need it. So you're going to die, Uncle Harvey. Daniel, you are being absurd as well as melodramatics. You always had a low opinion of me. If you had more faith in me, maybe I'd have a man of this something. But did you ever think I'd get down to murder, huh? Daniel, you're out of your mind. If you harm me, all the motive will point to you. You'll be electrocuted.  You're going to hang yourself with your resting-down cord. No one will believe that. Oh, yes, you've had a lot of bad headaches. That's reason enough. Besides, you'll have to believe it. Even Betty, you see, the door will be locked from the inside and the chain will be in place and the door will be bolted, proving you had to be alone so no one could possibly have killed you but yourself. How? How do you propose to manage that? When you know, Uncle, you'll be dead. Hey, go, Harvey. How quietly you hang. Perfect model of a gentleman's suicide. The door. Locked and bolted. Inside. Chair under your feet. Kicked over to keep appearances. Oh, yes, your bedside clock. I must set it to head. No, and break it on the floor. There. Shift the chair. Knock against the dresser and the clock fell. We died at half past one. Well, I'll be drinking with Betty. Ask her to marry me. With perfect alibi. We'll keep her from being suspicious. And now for the graceful exit. First, open the window. It's still raining. Good. No one would be around in a night like this. Now, out on the window, Ledge. There, that's it. Close the window tight behind me. Now for the big dive. A million-dollar dive. The pool directly below me. I could see it there. About 15 feet out. Maybe deep. This trial's played for Danny King, the diving wondered. He pushed outward to clear the trials. Nothing to it. An uncle Harvey is left behind dead in a locked room. Even worse than a splash of lightning. The shield and the ice are better to be thrown on balance. Goodbye, Uncle Harvey. A million dollars, here comes Danny. Hey, Betty. You're wearing out that clumpy cup. Oh, I'm still stirring it. I guess I'm worried about Danny. He's so late. He's fine. He said he'd be a little late.  He's got that business with those awful gamblers straightened out. I do love him, so I know he's going to be different after this. Sure he is. He's going to be all right. His uncle just misjudged him, that's all. Danny's a fine person, really. But it's after half past one and he isn't here yet. Oh, I'm being silly. I'll put some lipstick on. I must have chewed it all off by now.  Paper? Let's see. Oh, it's nothing important. Just a notice from the management of the hotel it was in our box. It only says that the management is taking advantage of the bad weather to repair the swimming pool. It drained all the water out this afternoon and closed it until further notice. Suspense. You've been listening to The Big Die, written for suspense by John West. Heard in tonight's story were Leon Janney as Danny King, Rosemary Rice as Betty, Sam Gray as Mike Brogan, Vandell Cramer as Charlie, Ralph Bell as the Barker, and Bill Smith as Uncle Horace. Listen again next week when we return with Night Fairy to Paris by William N. Robeson, another tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

This is Classics of Liberty, from Libertarianism.org and the Cato Institute, narrated by Caleb Brown. Today's classic is Abram D. Smith and Nullification, Part 1. Virtually no one is aware that Abram D. Smith ever existed. His life has almost gone unnoticed by historians. Yet Abram D. Smith was not only floated by some for vice president on the Republican ticket in 1860, but he briefly served as president of the Republic of Canada more than two decades earlier. Smith was born in 1811 in one of the many upstate New York small towns dotting the Adirondacks, likely an antinomian congregationalist. As a young man and law student, Smith encountered the radical classical liberal philosophy of the New York loco-focos imbibed deeply in their brand of romantic revolutionary republicanism and moved west with his family. The Smiths settled in Ohio, and Abram threw himself into democratic politics. As a city councilman in Cleveland, he delivered speeches of the ultra-loco-focokind, in the words of a local paper. In his spare time, he conspired with fellow brother-hunters and patriots, as they called themselves, to violently overthrow British rule in Canada. When the attempted Canadian rebellion promptly dissolved, Smith returned to a relatively obscure life of quiet reformism. He joined the County Anti-Slavery Society and became a trustee for the Cleveland Female Seminary. The Smiths moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1842, where Abram styled, Governor of the People, gave expansionist speeches laced with radical liberal visions of American manifest destiny. He practiced law and delivered inspiring speeches, winning him election to the state supreme court. In 1852, a Missouri slave named Joshua Glover escaped his master and resettled in Racine, Wisconsin. When federal marshals tracked, captured and beat Glover on March 10, 1854, locals alerted famous abolitionist and publisher of the Milwaukee Daily Free Democrat, Sherman Booth. Booth led a crowd of 5,000 in an assault on the city jail on March 13, 1854. The crowd broke into the jail, freed Glover, and made public demonstrations of their victory. Officials soon charged Booth with aiding and abetting a fugitive slave. Booth's attorney, Byron Payne, appealed to the court to release his client, claiming that the Fugitive Slave Act violated the rights of Wisconsin by denying citizens due process of law. Smith's decision of June 7, 1854, nullified the Fugitive Slave Act in the state of Wisconsin. In the first of two selections from Smith's arguments, he explains the nature of the case before him, ways the various claims involved, and explains his reasoning that the Fugitive Slave Act was indeed an unconstitutional breach of authority incommensurate with the national government's strictly delegated powers. In Re Booth, Abram D. Smith, Justice of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, Part 1. On the 27th alt, application was made to me by Sherman M. Booth, the petitioner for a writ of habeas corpus to be directed to Stephen V. R. Abelman, who, it was alleged, restrained the prisoner of his liberty. Accompanying the petition was a copy of the process by virtue of which it was alleged the petitioner was held in custody. This warrant charged Booth with having on the 11th day of March, 1854, at the city of Milwaukee in said county and district, unlawfully aided, assisted and abetted a person named Joshua Glover, held to service or labor in the state of Missouri under the laws thereof and being the property of one Benamy S. Garland, and having escaped therefrom into the state of Wisconsin to escape from the lawful custody of Charles O. Cotton, deputy of the Marshall of the United States, Forset District, pursuant to the provisions of the Act of Congress in that case made and provided approved September 18, 1850. In his application or petition, the petitioner alleges the illegality of his imprisonment to consist in the following, namely that the Act of Congress referred to in the said warrant is unconstitutional and void. Also, that Congress has no constitutional power or authority to punish the offense with which said Booth is charged and for which he is detained. That the Act of Congress of 1850 is in violation of the provisions of compact, unalterable, except by common consent contained in the ordinance of 1787 for the government of the territory northwest of the Ohio River and that therefore said act is not in force in said state. Upon this application, I could not hesitate to issue the writ according to the prayer of the petition. I cannot but feel the immense responsibility thrown upon me alone and may be pardoned for expressing my regret that I am deprived of the aid and counsel of my associates so much better able to cope with the grave and intricate questions involved than I am myself. Whether by design or from necessity, this application has been made to me, I meet the emergency with all the anxiety and concern which it cannot fail to excite and I hope with some share of the firmness which the occasion and the nature of the questions involved imperatively demand. The warrant by virtue of which the petitioner was held was not issued by a federal judge or court but by a commissioner of the United States. No exclusive or ultimate jurisdiction can be claimed for an officer of this kind. As one of the justices of the highest judicial tribunal in this state, which tribunal represents in that behalf the sovereignty of the state, I could not deny to any citizen or person entitled to the protection of the state the proper process by which the validity of a warrant issued by such authority could be examined. Indeed, we may go farther and say that as every citizen has a right to call upon the state authority for protection and as the judicial power in that only to which application can usually be made by the citizen, it is the duty of the judicial officer when applied to to see that no citizen is imprisoned within the limits of the state nor taken beyond its limits except by proper legal and constitutional authority. It is not in the power of anybody to divest the state judiciary of such authority nor can anybody but the people themselves absolve the judicial officers of the state from the performance of their duty in this behalf. The states will never submit to the assumption that United States commissioners have the power to hear and determine upon the rights and liberties of their citizens and issue process to enforce their adjudications, which is beyond the examination or review of the state judiciary. They will cheerfully submit to the exercise of all power and authority by the federal judiciary, which is delegated to that department by the federal constitution. But they have a right to insist, and they will insist, that the state judiciary shall be and remain supreme in all else and that the functions of the federal judiciary within the territory of the states shall be exercised by the officers designated or provided for by the constitution of the United States and that they shall not be transferred to subordinate and irresponsible functionaries holding their office at the will of the federal courts doing their duty and obeying their mandates for which neither the one nor the other is responsible. Every jot and tittle of power delegated to the federal government will be acquiesced in but every jot and tittle of power reserved to the states will be rigidly asserted and as rigidly sustained. It is only by exacting of the federal government a rigid conformity to the prescribed limitation of its powers and by the assertion and exercise of the part of the states of all the powers reserved to them and to do regard by both of their just and legitimate sphere that obedience can be rightfully exacted of the citizen to the authority of either. The constitution of the United States is the fundamental law of the land. It emanated from the very source of sovereignty as the same is recognized in this country. It is the work of our fathers but adopted and perpetuated by all the people through their respective state organizations and thus become our own. The citizen has by his vote, immediate or immediate established it as the great charter of his rights and by which all his agents or representatives in the conduct of the government are required to square their actions. I recognize most fully the right of every citizen to try every enactment of the legislature, every decree or judgment of a court and every proceeding of the executive or ministerial department by the written fundamental law of the land. No law is sacred, no officer so high, no power so vast that the line and the rule of the constitution may not be applied to them. It is the source of all law, the limit of all authority, the primary rule of all conduct, private as well as official and the citadel of personal security and liberty. Everyone has a right to resist an unconstitutional enactment of the legislature but he does so upon his peril until the conformity or nonconformity of the act with the constitution is judicially determined. Passive obedience cannot be exacted nor can private judgment in this behalf become the rule of action. To yield a cheerful acquiescence in and support to every power constitutionally exercised by the federal government is the sworn duty of every state officer but it is equally his duty to interpose a resistance to the extent of his power to every assumption of power on the part of the general government which is not expressly granted or necessarily implied in the federal constitution. Nor can I yield to the doctrine early broached but as early repudiated that any one department of the government is constituted the final and exclusive judge of its own delegated powers. No such tribunal has been erected by the fundamental law. To admit that the federal judiciary is the sole and exclusive judge of its own powers and the extent of the authority delegated is virtually to admit the same unlimited power may be exercised by every other department of the general government both legislative and executive because each is independent of and coordinate with the other. Neither has any power but such as the states and their respective people have delegated and all power not delegated remains with the states and the people thereof in view of the vastly increasing power of the federal government and the relatively diminishing importance of the state's sovereignty respectively the duty of the latter to watch closely and resist firmly every encroachment of the former becomes every day more and more imperative and the official oath of the functionaries of the state becomes more and more significant. Increase of influence and patronage on the part of the federal government naturally leads to consolidation, consolidation to despotism and ultimately anarchy, dissolution and all its attendant evils. If the sovereignty of the states is destined to be swallowed up by the federal government if consolidation is to supplant federation and the general government to become the sole judge of its own powers regardless of the solemn compact by which it was brought into existence and of the source of its own vitality as a humble officer of one of the states bound to regard the just rights and powers both of the union and the states I want my skirts to be clear and that posterity may not lay the catastrophe to my charge. I am truly thankful for the same feeling of conscientious firmness on entering upon the discharge of the duty before me as would be required in case of direct invasion, open rebellion or palpable treason against our common country. Without the states there can be no union. The abrogation of state sovereignty is not a dissolution of the union but an absorption of its elements. He is the true man, the faithful officer who is ready to assert and guard every jot of power rightfully belonging to each and to resist the slightest encroachment or assumption of power on the part of either. Suppose in a time of profound peace and quiet the federal government should pass a law suspending hapeous corpus would the state governments have the power to call to account the federal officers who had violated the compact in this behalf the Congress who had passed and the executive who approved it would the state courts be bound by it? Not at all. Such an act of Congress would simply be void and it would be the duty of every state and federal court so to pronounce it and it would afford no protection to any officer, state or federal for refusing to obey such writ. I mention these illustrations to show that a great portion of our federal constitution rests in compact while still another rests in grant. Where powers are granted they are to be exercised where rights rest in compact they have still the force of law but the federal government has no power to legislate upon them they are to be obeyed and enforced by the parties to the compact the states themselves. Can it be supposed for a moment that had the framers of the constitution imagined that under this provision the federal government would assume to override the state authorities, appoint subordinate tribunals in every county in every state invested with jurisdiction beyond the reach of inquiry of the state judiciary to multiply executive and judicial officers at Infinitum wholly independent of and irresponsible to the police regulations of the state and that the whole army and navy of the union could be sent into a state without the request and against the remonstrance of the legislature thereof? If the members of the convention had dreamed that they were incorporating such a power into the constitution, does anyone believe that it would have been adopted without opposition and without debate? And if these results had suggested themselves to the states on its adoption would it have been passed by them jealous as they were of state rights and state sovereignty? The idea is preposterous. The union would never have been formed upon such a basis. It is an impeachment of historic truth to assert it. Congress has the power to legislate in regard to fugitives from justice or labor but it may be asked how are the rights here stipulated and guaranteed to be enforced? I answer that every state officer, executive, legislative and judicial who takes an oath to support the constitution of the United States is bound to provide for and aid in their enforcement according to the true intent and meaning of the constitution. But what if one or more states should refuse to perform their duty and its officers violate their oaths and repudiate the compact? The simple answer is that when the state and federal officers become so regardless of their oaths and obligations as the question implies anarchy or revolution or both must supervene for the government would be a willful departure from the fundamental law of its organization and the people would be absolved from their allegiance to it. The fugitive slave clause as finally adopted reads but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor is due. Here is a fact to be ascertained before the fugitive can be legally delivered up that his service or labor is really due to the party who claims him. How is this fact to be ascertained? What authority shall determine it? Clearly the authority of the state whose duty it is to deliver up the fugitive when that fact is determined. Until the issue which the constitution itself creates is decided, the person is entitled to the protection of the laws of the state. When the issue is determined against the fugitive then the constitutional compact rises above the laws and regulations of the state and to the former the latter must yield. To my mind this seems very clear and simple. The whole proceeding is clearly a judicial one. The law of 1850 by providing for a trial of the constitutional issue between the parties designated thereby by officers not recognized by any constitution, state or national is unconstitutional and void. It has been already said that until the claim of the owner be interpreted the fugitive in this state is to all intents and purposes a free man. The passing of judgment upon any person without his day in court without due process or its equivalent is contrary to the law of nature and of the civilized world and without the expressed guarantee of the constitution it would be implied as a fundamental condition of all civil governments. But the tenth section of the act of 1850 expressly nullifies this provision of the constitution. What then is to be done? Let the free states return to their duty if they have departed from it and be faithful to the compact in the true spirit in which it was conceived and adopted. Let the slave states be content with such an execution of the compact as the framers of it contemplated. Let the federal government return to the exercise of the just powers conferred by the constitution and few, very few will be found to disturb the tranquility of the nation or to oppose by word or deed the due execution of the laws. But until this is done I solemnly believe that there will be no peace for the state or the nation but that agitation, acrimony and hostility will mark our progress even if we escape a more dread calamity which I will not even mention. However this may be well knowing the cost I feel a grateful consciousness in having discharged my duty and full duty of having been true to the sovereign rights of my state which has honored me with its confidence and to the constitution of my country which has blessed me with its protection. And though I may stand alone I hope I may stand approved of my God as I know I do of my conscience. That was Abram D.

The eternal question is how many stocks should I have in my portfolio? Some say to be diversified, some say to keep all your eggs in a few baskets. So what's the real answer? What should you do? Well that depends on one thing and one thing only. How much you know? Buffett says that diversifying is protection against ignorance and I'll show you in this video what does he mean with that saying and how you can protect yourself from ignorance and increase your returns and lower your risks as that is the main point in investing. The modern portfolio theory says that you should have at least 30 stocks in your portfolio because then the risk will be equal to the market risk. So you can have good returns but at the market risk. However, here we can see that already with 10 stocks the total portfolio risk is much much lower with only one stock your standard deviation is very high. The more stocks you add the lower is your risk and the closer is it to the market risk. However, there is not much of a difference between owning 10 stocks in a portfolio and owning 100 stocks in a portfolio. Therefore, you have to ask yourself what do I want? Do I want to own the 10 best stocks I know? Or do I want to own also the 98 stocks that is not that good as my first, second, third investment? That's a question you have to ask yourself. Now the only way to own the least possible number of stocks is to invest from a business-like perspective. We discussed how to invest from a business-like perspective, how to be an entrepreneur when investing and when you do that, you invest only in the best businesses. One, two, three, I do. I invest in five stocks maximally. Three are my top positions and I like to own those companies from a business perspective. I feel like an owner. I don't care so much about short-term volatility, especially about 10-20% here and there. When it moves 100-200%, then I take a look. Until then, I'm very happy with the earnings yield, with the improvements in book value, with the dividends and those kind of things. So if you look at from a business perspective, I bet you you can look at all your portfolio holdings and say, okay, this is the best business. This is the worst business at this price. So my question is why are you holding the worst business when this much, this one is so much better? This is because you look at stock price and you try to achieve gains from speculating, not from owning a business. The second question I want to ask you is, do you know what you're doing? If we look at this chart that shows the total returns of individual stocks versus the Russell 3000 index from 1983 to 2006, we can see that 64% of all stocks underperformed the index, while only 36% of stocks outperformed the index. And of all the stocks, 6.1% of them outperformed the index by 500% of more. So in order to get that stock that will outperform by 500%, you have to pick the best out of 16 stocks, so 6.1% of 100 stocks. So if you look at 100 stocks, only six of them will significantly outperform the market. And that's what you have to look at. How to find that? Well, focus on business, focus on fundamentals and keep following this channel. So you don't need to look at the whole stock environment. If you take, if you look at 200 stocks, 12 of them will significantly outperform the market. And you need just five of them over your lifetime and you are set. Do not overcomplicate your investing. If you get five stocks that outperform the market by 500% or more in 10, 20 years, your returns will be extremely extraordinary. So if you focus on what you're doing, look at businesses, look at the quality of earnings, future potential earnings, the risks, then you're set. Then you can have a concentrated portfolio. If you don't have the time or the willingness to do that, then it's better to have a diversified portfolio. However, the more you invest your time, the more you try to find those businesses that will outperform the higher will your returns be and lower the risk, lower the loss. To conclude with the problem of diversification, you have seen that 64% of stocks underperformed the market. This means that with every addition to your portfolio, you increase your chances of underperforming. If you hold the top stocks, you increase your chances of outperforming the market because there is a higher probability that the ones you hold will be the best stocks. If you keep adding new stocks, you go into the 64% basket that underperforms the market. So you're with adding more and more stocks, you are practically lowering your chances of high investment returns and you're practically what you're doing is underperforming the market. That's statistics. So don't argue with that. Thank you for watching. Looking forward to your comments, tell me how many stocks do you have in your portfolio? That's what I really want to know. And how do you see that positioning for your long-term investment returns? And if this 64% underperforming changes your investment perspective? Thanks for watching.

Hello and welcome to 2024. My name is Daniel. For those who will be meeting me for the first time, for those who already know me, I very much want to thank you for a great 2023. You all have watched our videos that patronize our rental houses, that did a lot for us, that enabled us to even have the shelf life to even make it to the next year. And if you're watching this video, it means that we both made it. And I'm really, really happy that we got the chance to actually do it over again this year. So a couple of things going into the year. I'm sorry I couldn't post as much as I could. I am still trying to restructure my schedule and see how things can actually work more smoothly as we try to both entertain, learn, and educate in the entire workflow. So this year, what we'll be going to be doing is a whole lot of fun. First and first, come February, you should see the date and link below or in the text, right? We'll be holding like a three days workshop. It will be totally free, just limited people, 20 people, okay? I would put up also a link to be able to like collect names of people who are interested. This would be where we'll discuss from pre-production to hands-on approach and to post. That is the most interesting one, to see how I come about my colors, my pipelines and stuff like that, what we get to do, the results and see what the capabilities, it's all free. And you'll be welcome to our facility to be able to like do all of this. And also in the link below, you should be able to say that we'll be starting a community on Discord. The purpose of the community is to be able to grow like minds, problem solve together, exchange opportunities that are available and see how we could just entirely improve the ecosystem, improve ourselves, improve the community and improve the work we do as directors, as cinematographers, as first ACs, just in the entire landscape. And I'll be sharing all my experiences on Filtat. These are experiences I got from projects I've done, the good, the bad, the ugly, what I could have done better, what I could have learned better. It's going to be like a safe space, you get that, it's not going to be like the YouTube where we still have like curated information, you get this is where we could actually discuss things and have like a safe space to be able to grow. And yes, that's number two and number three, I would be putting out more regular content and see how I can curate more experiences that would actually improve all of our growth, especially me, because it also has contributed to me in being able to stay accountable to myself and to what I try to do off-camera, on-camera, putting in the work and actually just become a general, a better human. So in a way, you help me to become better as I help you to also grow. So it's a symbiotic relationship. I really want to thank you for having my back and it's been an amazing experience between us and as we go forward, considering the workshop, please don't hesitate, secure your spots, secure your slots. I look forward to see other things you're interested into accomplishing the year and all the other great stuff we will all do together. So until next time that I see you this year, keep on improvising, adapt and overcome. Thank you very much.
