00:00Okay, well we are going to start with baseball where the Phillies took down the Braves last night in a big NLE's contest 6-4.
00:10That helps the Phillies out because they're now just a half game out of a wild card spot in the National League.
00:17Tonight the Phillies take on the Braves again, another big game.
00:21The Yankees and Mets were both off, however tonight it's a Yankees-Mets subway series.
00:28Two-game series that begins tonight at Citi Field.
00:34Currently the Yankees lead the AL East by an impressive 12.5 games over the Blue Jays.
00:43The Mets have a tiny, small, somewhat pathetic two-game lead over the Braves for first in the NLE's.
00:50I mean, still they're first place. I mean, the Mets are.
00:53Absolutely. The Yankees on fire. Aaron Judge, 37 home runs. Probably the favorite to win the MVP coming in.
01:03What a season he's had. Pete Alonzo's doing well. 25 home runs. That's 12 less the last time I checked.
01:10Oh, Mindy.
01:11Big time.
01:12Sorry, Mindy.
01:12Big time, big time game. And here's the one thing I like about the Yankees, Carl, objectively in this matchup.
01:20Objectively.
01:21And that's that I don't think that the Yankees are going to act like the choking dogs that the Mets are who have given up this division.
01:30Don't forget the Mets just a couple months ago had a 10-game lead in the NLE's.
01:37I mean, you're not lying.
01:38And now the Braves are just two games behind them.
01:42And the last time I checked, the Braves are coming off of a World Series championship.
01:47So it's not like this is a team that, you know, is coming out of nowhere.
01:51This is true.
01:52So, in other words, the Mets, the Yankees, they've kept their double-digit lead, Carl.
01:58What happened to the Mets?
02:01Objective, you say.
02:02They choked it away like the dogs they are.
02:06Mindy?
02:06Their names should be Morks.
02:09They should be the New York Morks.
02:11Aw.
02:12Named after Mindy's dog.
02:15Thank you, Mindy.
02:16Mork.
02:16We appreciate you being out there.
02:18Shout out to Mindy, by the way, who was at Bark in the Park this year.
02:21She's a wonderful woman, and that was dedicated to her.
02:24Thanks a lot.
02:25Basketball, Carl.
02:26Former L.A. Laker, Slava Medvedenko, is unfortunately having to sell his two NBA championship rings to raise money for his native Ukraine.
02:33Going to buy some ground-to-air missiles?
02:38I don't know.
02:39Yeah, but I mean, he was on the 2001 and 2002 Lakers playing alongside Kobe and Shaq.
02:46So, that's upsetting.
02:49Six months ago, Russia launched that invasion.
02:51That's nuts.
02:52Unbelievable.
02:52And finally, the NFL launching a new streaming service called NFL Plus.
02:59How much is this going to cost us?
03:01You're going to get two tiers, $4.99 per month for a first basic tier, and then $9.99 per month for a more premium tier.
03:10What do I get for basic NFL app?
03:13I mean, honestly, basic to me just sounds like the way to go, because I can't even, like, really tell what the difference is between that and premium.
03:20But basic, you get live, local, and national primetime games on mobile devices and out-of-market preseason games on all devices.
03:31Oh, out-of-market preseason games.
03:32Who cares?
03:33Yeah, exactly.
03:33The service will also include home, away, and national game live audio for every game.
03:39So, they're basically taking the stream from our local TV channel, putting it on their app, and charging us $5 a month?
03:50Yes.
03:52That is what you're doing.
03:53Something basically I can get for free already, or I'm paying for already.
03:58Yeah, I don't know.
03:58They want to charge me $5 for?
04:01Good luck, NFL.
04:02Well, the NFL always finds itself to be untouchable, but here's the problem.
04:07I've got Amazon Prime, right?
04:09Yeah.
04:09I've got Peacock, okay?
04:12Probably got Disney still.
04:14Here's my point.
04:15I need to just have Amazon Prime and Peacock just to watch the Yankees.
04:20That's true.
04:21They're on streaming services right now.
04:23And if Major League Baseball were to ever charge me money on top of what I'm already paying for all these streaming services that I have to pay for, I would tell baseball and the MLB baseball, well, honestly, go screw yourself because, like.
04:39That's what I just said, right?
04:41I mean, the NFL.
04:42I'm already paying for these services.
04:43The NFL wants to charge you for stuff that you're already getting on your local TV provider.
04:48And not just your TV providers, what I'm saying.
04:50You're already getting probably these NFL games.
04:53Because I'm already getting these baseball games on the other streaming services.
04:57Right, exactly.
04:58Your Amazon Primes, your Hulus, your Peacocks, and your Paramount Pluses.
05:03And it's, like, ridiculous.
05:04We have to get all these streaming services.
05:06And now the leagues who already sold their rights to these streaming services, now these leagues want to pay charges more.
05:14I'll take it a step further.
05:14You want it a step further?
05:16If you buy a broadcast HD antenna for $45, $50, stick it in your window, you can get it all for free.
05:27Because they're still over-the-air broadcast.
