0:00.0	Mutual nothing personal word of the day Tuesday, April 27th, 2021. I couldn't believe it when
0:28.8	Koken, I were preparing for the show when he told me we've never used mutual as the word of the day.
0:35.6	Mutual happens all the time in sports by mutual agreement. The general manager has decided
0:42.4	step away by mutual agreement. The manager has been fired. We mutually agreed. How do you mutually
0:51.3	do something? Doesn't it have to be completely at the same time? Hi, Dick. Hi, it's Jeff. Hey,
1:00.6	how you doing? Hey, I got something to talk to you about. Well, yeah, hi, I'm Jeff
1:07.3	Brighters, the GM of the Colorado Rockies. Hi, I'm Dick Montfer at the honor of the Colorado Rockies.
1:11.3	Do you have something to say? I got something to say. You have something to say? Let's say it together
1:15.6	on three. One, two, I quit your fired. What, wait, what would you say first? Did you just fire me?
1:26.2	No, no, you said you quit. I don't have to pay you now on your contract. You quit. You're done.

1:55.8	Albeit a last place team. Albeit a team that is in shambles in the mile high city. I guess they
2:06.9	could use to watch half baked and maybe try to run their team that way. A team that had such a
2:11.7	tumultuous off season, trading, no, an aeronauto. An article came out in the athletic saying that the
2:19.9	front office, the ownership, it's just a complete nightmare. Couldn't believe they were writing that
2:24.2	about the Rockies and not me. How great is that? All of a sudden out of nowhere, news comes out
2:29.6	that Jeff Brightich is out as Rockies GM. And they're going to go with an interim GM for the rest
2:35.6	of the season and do a full search at the end of the season because you know between now and October,
2:44.8	you're able to really not identify candidates or think about the type of GM you want. You have to
2:51.6	wait till October. That's not why people have to wait till the end of the season to get permission.
