Trump endorsed MAGA extremists Bernie Marino says he wants to move Ohio forward. He wants to make America great again. For whom? For people of color? For black people? Nah. Marino is just looking out for himself and his white supremacist MAGA buddies. He doesn't believe in multicultural America and equality for all. His own company has a long history of being sued for discrimination. He even called for reparations for white people and is firmly against inclusion and diversity programs. When elected, Marino will rubber stamp Trump's radical 2025 and roll back policies that will directly harm black families, our finances, jobs, social security, and health care. And he'll turn back the clock on our civil rights. Marino thinks white supremacy will make America great again. Real talk, Marino was not for us and will never look out for us. We must re-elect Sherry Brown, who's a champion for our community and all Ohioans. Vote to secure your rights and your future. Vote for Sherry Brown, November 5th. 24 by Wincentit, which is responsible for the content of this ad, Wincentit.org, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. Raise your hand if you feel really represented in our Colorado state legislature. Yeah, that's what I thought. Hey, it's Ross, and I have no confidence that the people under the Golden Dome are routinely doing what's best for me and you, for our families and neighbors and friends and colleagues, because our system for choosing and electing candidates isn't functioning to benefit us, it's functioning to benefit the system. But there's something we can do about it, and it's called Proposition 131. Prop 131 will let all voters choose among all candidates, regardless of party, for the state legislature, Congress, and most statewide races except President, with the top four going on to the general election. It gives us more options as voters, and importantly, it keeps party bosses from sticking us with bad options. And as someone who wants to have true choices, I have to say that I'm even more confident in my support for Prop 131, knowing that the party bosses on both sides don't like it. It takes power away from them, gives it to you and me where it belongs, for a better government vote. Yes, on Prop 131. Pay for by yes on 131. Own cloth, registered agent. What up, five o'clock hours, Jay former DP Austin old school crew brought you by the Mercado jumping into the NBA DP second night, last night. Everybody tipped off. What are you? Hey, I want to know what your thoughts are on that the LA Clippers, what was it to call the wall or whatever wall 51 rows of fans straight up that look crazy. It looked like VA Haas arena DP. You climb those stairs for volume. Yeah. Rico almost passed out on those steps Rico decided he wanted to know what I coach Saunders and Rico working there and they decided they were going to run the stairs. Those stairs. Yeah, that was a major mistake as a major mistake. It takes, it takes a while to visually get used to it. It's like a college atmosphere kind of right a little bit different, different colors, different, you know, different distractions are otherwise. The Clippers needed something. They needed something to set them apart. Well, they got a kawaii. No, they need something else something human that that alien dude will show up and it's been really interesting that story, right? Yeah, the trainer got fired before questioning their care for him, right? Is that what it was? Yeah. Well, he was involved with the tampering to get kawaii there he alleged. Yeah. I mean, listen, the Clippers have been the Clippers for so very long. The wall, great added value, but in the end, your people have to make plays and that was a weird kind of finish to that game. That was a weird finish and who had the ball? What you were trying to do with it. Still managed. I mean, the sun still managed to win that one, which was just weird because nothing about their play said they were going to win that game. It was two teams trying to win a rock fight from about a half a mile away. It was weird. It was it was weird, but I think that's going to be this NBA season. I think this NBA season is going to be Boston. You know, the Nuggets are going to be back. You don't think you don't like the Nuggets? I like yolkich. They're going to be a good regular season team. I don't think they have playoff depth. Well, they got a Russell. That's what I'm saying. They gave money. They paid money, right? To get people in order. Nuggets make the playoffs. That's a I think they're going to be number one seed again. No, no, no, no, no, no. There they are. Yeah, they will. Put on it, whatever you owe me from the beatdowns you've been getting. But OK, we'll do. We'll do the state. OK, thank you. I'm not. You believe in Dallas believe in Dallas? No, no, no, there's there's too much weirdness consistency. The one thing with the NBA weirdness catches up to you in an 80 game, 80 plus game sees. So who do you think could challenge the the Celtics? Well, I mean, in the East, it has to be Milwaukee or it won't be anybody. Yeah, if they Joe, yeah, I would say it has to be Milwaukee or it doesn't happen. Yeah, because the Knicks are garbage. Knicks sixers. It doesn't. There's not enough to it that looks interesting enough. You thinking over there, actually, Indiana is a player away because they need a big trade. Right. They're key players. Those ones where you think Indiana gets close enough to sniff, then they go and pull from the West Coast 10 number 10 or 11 and go make some some things happen. Indiana likes their chances because they're one of the few teams in the league. They can keep up with Boston's volume from three. So it turns into a numbers game. I like Indiana's chances. I am not as far out on the Knicks as you guys are. They got some major work to do. I like the Milwaukee choice, low key Cleveland, if they if they can train Allen, get a wing and move Mobley to the five, but it just requires a year or two away. It requires so much of Donovan Mitchell. It requires that he because Garland is there. I like Garland too. Yeah. I like Garland too. He stepped up last year. But in that brawl, there are too many nights where Cleveland just hands the ball to spider critical mass. And he comes to volume. And then he has to. He has to put the work that's Kenny Atkinson's challenge. Yeah. I mean, yeah. But yeah, I mean, I think I think they're one of the one one of the final four over there. We ate boy boy, boy, you don't like Tim Wilson, well, sir, I like, I like the most third in the West. Oh, no, Casey, they're going to be there going to be a problem. I got Phoenix too. No. Yeah. I wanted that for Phoenix last night. They say Mo Phoenix, but it, but what it tells me, what it tells me is that you're writing that they're dangerous, even when they're not good. They're just good enough that they're going to win a whole bunch of games this year simply because they're better that they're the right ones to face Boston, if you could ever pull that off and say, Hey, night on seven nights, give me three, do give me a team with three dudes who don't care about Boston three dudes, it's Phoenix. Can I talk you into Memphis? Nope. We don't know. There's too many question marks. Nope. There's too many question marks. There ain't any, there ain't any giant half damn. If it goes well, you're, you're a guy, you're a guy. Come on. I have too much to do away from the court. He has too much to deal with away from the court. Right, man. Probably. Ant, man. I love me some ant. And he, and he got Randall, the French connection just, man, Nas Reed's got a, he's got a, he's got to be better. He's got to be better. He was garbage at the lake. Yes. But you expect us to be better. Right. He got a new contract. He's starting to come on, man. You got to come with it. Yeah. I, it's a great head, Kingpin too. That's not good. Oh, man. He's still, you know, they got a little separation anxiety from New York. They'll get it going. Yes. There's, there's, there's this thing in the NBA this season where you're going to, here's my thing. It's not going to be the team that pursues Boston. It's going to be the team that affixes themselves. That's Phoenix has to fix Phoenix. Yeah. Phoenix can't worry about Boston. It can't worry about Denver. It can't worry about the Lakers. It just can't. It can't. It has too many weapons. Too many people. That's a problem. Night in the night out. Well, any given night, you have four guys who could just give you 30, easy 30. But if they focus on making a move to, to down the road, get Boston, you never get the Boston. Yeah. You never get the Boston Boston playing for Boston and, and they did that last night without Portland, because again, kind of not fair, five, five Olympians, like, yeah, just run them out there. Just run them out there and I think if the Lakers get my mad trade, you know, it's on like butter popcorn. You got to get rid of the day and the playoffs too. You did that. You're a couple of years ago. Bloody rock, plinker, you better start doing something there. Get rid of the Angelo Russell and Vanderbilt and bring in Trey Young. Is that really a thing? Oh, yeah. You want to see? You want to see. Well, LeBron? Trey, LeBron and AD. Oh, yeah. I like that. I like that. I love that. Is he, is he really like or fanboying right now? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So privately, he really is like, it's Lakers number two. It's been public. It's been public. Oh, yeah. It's public. Timber wasn't Lakers. The Lakers originated in Minneapolis, like show where Lakers comes from Michael Cooper is my for him and big game James about big game. Jay Foreman. Jay, man. We'll see. Jay Foreman. It'll be answering about two weeks. It'll be somebody else. Jay Foreman. The Lakers. Man. The Lakers. The Lakers. The Lakers. The Lakers. I love them. Like, hey, why not go get Yannes while you're at it? Hey, I'm down with that. Like, that's that's like, hey, that's no different than the Yankees. One. So that was available. Why don't you go? What is one so they're going to get? If you, if you 600 plus all them right, one so is going to be an owner of a major league franchise. If he takes anything that does not say how I get my own suite. Yeah. Right. Like that dealers the deal is like, I want my suite forever for forever. I want to sweet the stadium. That would be the most gangster move ever. All the money. Cause it's got boys as agent. I don't know. He's in this anymore. Got boys. You know, he's going to get paid. Oh, yep. He's Morris. Hey, give, give, give the, give the, the greatest predator on the planet of machine gun. That's what you've done in giving one Soto. Hey, so, so, so who, who's the bigger client for Boris a rod back in the day or one Soto today? It's Soto. And it's not even. Early holiday savings have arrived at Tanger outlets.

Here's your hand if you feel really represented in our Colorado state legislature. Yeah, that's what I thought. Hey, it's Ross and I have no confidence that the people under the Golden Dome are routinely doing what's best for me and you for our families and neighbors and friends and colleagues because our system for choosing and electing candidates isn't functioning to benefit us. It's functioning to benefit the system, but there's something we can do about it and it's called Proposition 131.

King Supers fresh for everyone, fuel restrictions apply. But it's not even close. So don't. I think a ride. I think a ride was more his deal was more impactful in this day and age in this social media era era where international players multiply this thing and in full right because he is full on embracing several cultures and working within them and social media allows them to do this thing. And he's in New York City at a great time at a great time. And here's the thing. I think he's so does better suited. He's also younger. He's younger than Rodriguez was when he got his his push. So we forget how young so that was yeah, I think he's more mentally tough to oh he won his chip before he got to New York. Yeah, but I just think when he did it after Bryce left, I think it's also important. Yeah, and I think but I think he had to build it. Yeah. Yeah. But he's more mentally tough than Alex. Yeah, I mean, I think that was the thing was that he's he's less about the nonsense. Yeah. Like we don't know who wants all those dating. No, yeah. We don't hear those stories. You don't see him in the nightclub. You don't hear like you don't hear those stories and it matters. I mean, I was Rodriguez was just immensely talented and of course he went to the U and there all that stuff. He just was. You're dead in the way, right? Probably. You don't ever talk. Nobody. I mean, and he did it with with with with Jeter Rivera and somebody still in play. Yeah. He's he still did that thing. Soto. This thing that Soto goes to work. Yeah. It's just all right. Just stuff. I hate that he's going to be. Probably be terrible zone. I might have to disown the terrible. Well, good thing. You're back in play. Yeah. Yeah. Straight to the Lakers. Yeah. Yeah. Straight to the. Trade. Amen. Amen. Then you know who he was. Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing? Yeah. Amen. I said, who are you? If the Hawks trade. Try young. Do they want it made as replacement? Bring it back home where he went to college. Oh, he's talking about three team tray. Oh, no. Just down the line. It doesn't have to be. Three team. And coming to the Lakers. He wants everybody and bronze ad and throw Austin Reeves in there for south. Right. Just for giggles and grains. Right. Let's just let's just do that and get the dude from Duke. That's that Charlotte. Yeah. Yeah. That's not the name Mark Williams. Right. Right. Then get Duke's one year wonder and get coop in the building and just bring him. Yeah. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Gee whiz. That came right. There's no integrity in this. There's no integrity. You can't shoot. No. Yeah. That was a problem. That's a point shooter in high school did not translate to the deeper line. That's hilarious. He's at 40% nice. He wasn't shooting and he was volume shooting to get that 40% got a hundred to make 40. He still got to make 40. Yeah. Jay. Have we do we have your your world series pick? Do we? Man. That's good. It's like I know Austin just is terribly vexed at the at the idea that he has to choose me either. So actually no giving Austin who who is your pick for this classic world series. Dodgers and six. I go Yankees because I like my man Stan. That's what I like. He's the X factor for the series. Absolutely. My man be golf shot. If Freddie was healthy if Freddie was healthy, but Muncie steps up into that space and they don't lose anything by having Muncie Max Muncie being their number three. Like you're you're not you're not losing anything, especially against the Yankee staff. You're not losing. Hey, Coligan, Jason, he can't agree that Soto is mentally tougher. Rodriguez dealt with absolutely being booed horrifically at opposing stadiums and was drug through the mud by the back of his neck and was still able to go out perform. Take some mental. That is true. Yeah. He is mentally tougher. Alex Rodriguez. What I'm saying is like mentally tougher. It doesn't have anything to do with that. It was like he's not he's not I would say mentally mentally tough, not like as a teammate. Soto's tougher in the sense that Soto is an agitator. He is a Reggie straw that stirs the drink up. Like he agitated. No, you're not joking. He's very not joking. He never had. I'm just saying. Don't never have. Don't get to come play for the Yankees and start striking out. What are you talking about? He just hit a bomb in the 10th inning to send them to a world series. I'm talking about in the World Series. Don't come just don't come striking out, man. If I turn the TV on you out there looking at ball four and stuff like that, man. You're supposed to look at ball four. No, or you know, looking at the third strike, my bad. Look at that third strike. Tell me one world series moment for Alex Rodriguez. Nothing. That I'm not an Alex Rodriguez fan. Soto is a monster. He is a postseason, big moment monster. He's new age Ted Williams. Strike up. Listen, him hitting the bomb in Houston against Verlander, him hitting the bombs against the Dodgers and just going, Hey, give me Kershaw, left handed and left handed. I'm going to tell you, I'm taking you yard. I'm hitting a bomb. I'm just going to stare at you and laugh all the way around the bases. He went up and down there, put their rotation. That Soto is a different. There's one one Soto. Look, Otani's there's Juan Soto. There's one Soto. Come on. There's just one. There's only one. There's only one. All right. Look, man, this world series is spectacular in several ways. I think the markets too. I think the can I say this that the Dodgers are so weird in their dugout and like, did you get the video? I said, they're a little weird. Yeah. I don't know what they're doing. I don't. They do too much. Yeah. It's too much time around. They probably just stay there because they don't want to drive in the traffic. They off a board doing this. Austin, did you see that video of the Dodgers? There's been a lot of them. So I'm sure. Oh, this one. This one is just. It's just they're so weird. They're away. They got to lean into the culture. They're fully Hollywood, but that's but let me say this. Throughout the Fernando Valenzuela news, I would have leaned Yankees. But something about this, hey, guess the last time we got Dodgers, Yankees in a world series say it. 81. Who was your rookie of the year, Cy Young winner and World Series winner in 1981? The mania. The mania. 20 complete. There was 20 complete games in a season in a season in one season. The dude won his first eight games. There was one Fernando. We're old enough to have been. I'll say I'm not sure you were old enough to be around for the Fernando mania. But yeah, no, I as a baseball guy, Fernando coming out of nowhere. And I mean, out of nowhere to come out first, they put him on the roster at 19 years old, 19 years old. He wasn't supposed to start opening day. The starting pitcher, Jerry Royce pulled a calf muscle before the game. So we'll sort of goes, hey, Fernando, take the ball and Fernando thought he was kidding. He goes here, take the ball. Kid goes out. This is no problem. There was a complete game. Five hitter against the Astros, five, five years, right, shut up, then rolls off four shut outs in his first eight games, wins his first eight games, everybody says it's the whole thing. Well, we can't really count on this kid. Like, we don't know what it is. He goes to New York, goes to Shea Stadium, Dicism, Dicism gets on national TV, shut out 20 wins, 21 wins, and one of the top 10 greatest hitting pitchers in baseball history. Fernando could swing the stick to back in the day before that. So I just think his passing, I mean, he's sixty three, he was sixty just like a week shy of sixty four, Fernando was one of one. Um, so we got two daughters and I'm picking the Yankees. Your Dodgers. Dodgers. I'm rooting for the Yankees just because I just think the Dodgers get weird. Guaranteed. You're going to hit a bomb. Watch. Guaranteed. Okay. Then he gonna pull a ham. Anyway, we're going to take a quick break. Come back with our picks this week. We got a game tonight. You got Syracuse at Pittsburgh number nineteen Pittsburgh, Kyle McCourt is killing it against chief borders. Mm-hmm. Nineteen. Then we got some good game. Here's that most interesting game, Boise State at UNLV nine thirty Friday night. Oh, so saucy, oh, so saucy, it is on like butter popcorn.

Raise your hand if you feel really represented in our Colorado state legislature. Yeah, that's what I thought. Hey, it's Ross and I have no confidence that the people under the Golden Dome are routinely doing what's best for me and you for our families and neighbors and friends and colleagues because our system for choosing and electing candidates isn't functioning to benefit us. It's functioning to benefit the system, but there's something we can do about it and it's called Proposition 131. Prop 131 will let all voters choose among all candidates regardless of party for the state legislature, Congress and most statewide races except president with the top four going on to the general election.

And as someone who wants to have true choices, I have to say that I'm even more confident in my support for Prop 131 knowing that the party bosses on both sides don't like it. It takes power away from them, gives it to you and me where it belongs. For a better government vote yes on Prop 131.
