Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
0:19
Speaker 1: So one of the many things I love about this
0:21
Speaker 1: job and I love about Israel goody Eras, is that
0:24
Speaker 1: you never know what's gonna set Is he off.
0:28
Speaker 3: A good point?
0:28
Speaker 1: And you've been set off today? My friend Kevin Durant
0:32
Speaker 1: is the reason that is. He is in a foul mood.
0:35
Speaker 1: I guess no, no.
0:37
Speaker 3: Just whenever somebody says something where I just sort of
0:41
Speaker 3: kind of see right through it, right, it's just, you know,
0:44
Speaker 3: it's just a topic that interests me.
0:46
Speaker 1: Okay, we have some sound from Kevin Durant over the weekend.
0:50
Speaker 1: I think you're talking about his response to the Philadelphia
0:52
Speaker 1: seventy six ers and the dream team they've created.
0:55
Speaker 3: So that's a couple of things, right, And we'll play
0:56
Speaker 3: this sound right here where he's responding to this question.
0:58
Speaker 3: But I believe somebody asked him here. Let's just play
1:00
Speaker 3: this sound. Somebody asked him whether the Philadelphia seventy six
1:04
Speaker 3: or seems like a mindless question, are going to be
1:07
Speaker 3: contenders this coming year? And here's what Katie said, You
1:10
Speaker 3: like their contenders?
1:12
Speaker 4: Sure you don't think so? No, I'm just asking you.
1:16
Speaker 5: Last time he put three twenty points scores on team,
1:19
Speaker 5: they said it was unfair, which is the team I was?
1:21
Speaker 5: They got four, so that it'll be a contender, man,
1:26
Speaker 5: that will be a great team to watch.
1:29
Speaker 3: And he went on from there just to go on Twitter,
1:32
Speaker 3: which is, you know, his his preferred form of communication,
1:36
Speaker 3: to then sort of continue to double down on the conversation.
1:39
Speaker 4: Like, first of all, Stu back that.
1:42
Speaker 3: He he sort of simplified what the Warriors did by
1:46
Speaker 3: bringing him in by calling it the last time they
1:49
Speaker 3: put three twenty point a game scorers together, That's not
1:52
Speaker 3: what you guys were. That wasn't three guys who just
1:55
Speaker 3: averaged twenty points. That was two of those three guys
1:58
Speaker 3: that won combined three mb So let's not just sort
2:02
Speaker 3: of dismiss what you actually.
2:04
Speaker 6: Were and it was unfair, Well it was, yes.
2:06
Speaker 1: Well, the big difference being that Philadelphia is not coming
2:09
Speaker 1: off a season in which they broke the regular season
2:12
Speaker 1: win total and won an NBA championship. Yeah, the Warriors
2:15
Speaker 1: were exactly yes.
2:17
Speaker 3: And he is then doubling down on Twitter by saying
2:21
Speaker 3: by sort of breaking it down, saying, hey, on paper,
2:25
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia seventy six ers this year's version are even
2:28
Speaker 3: better than that Warriors version. And he makes these comparisons
2:32
Speaker 3: to the Joel a recent MVP. So there's Steph the
2:35
Speaker 3: recent MVP. Those aren't the same, man, those they're not
2:38
Speaker 3: the same. We have not seen anything that Joel Hembida
2:41
Speaker 3: has done past the second round because he's never been there.
2:44
Speaker 3: So they're just not the same. And then he said
2:46
Speaker 3: a recent finals MVP in Jalen Brown. Okay, let's pause
2:51
Speaker 3: there for a second, because he went on to say
2:53
Speaker 3: other things. Not once did he bring up Andrea Guadala,
2:56
Speaker 3: who is a finals MVP recently. And then he talked
3:00
Speaker 3: about he said Klay Thompson was never a finalist for
3:04
Speaker 3: MVP or nothing right, and then just said twenty two
3:07
Speaker 3: points a game, yes, and then threw Draymond Green stats
3:09
Speaker 3: out there, which is something like fourteen points a game,
3:11
Speaker 3: seven rebounds and six assists.
3:13
Speaker 1: He's trying to give off that that team wasn't nearly
3:15
Speaker 1: as good as we thought.
3:16
Speaker 3: It was right, So basically over hyping Jalen Brown a
3:19
Speaker 3: little bit, over hyping a forty one going into forty two,
3:23
Speaker 3: Lebron James, probably over hyping Tyrese Maxie a bit too,
3:26
Speaker 3: because if Joel Embiid had been healthy throughout the last
3:30
Speaker 3: three years of Tyree's MAXI, I don't think tyres Maxie's
3:33
Speaker 3: numbers are as good as they are currently. So it's
3:37
Speaker 3: all just him, you know, moving the goalpost a little
3:40
Speaker 3: bit here and there to try to make a point
3:42
Speaker 3: which I don't agree with at all.
3:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is this is Kadi's still trying to justify
3:47
Speaker 7: the weakest move in NBA history.
3:49
Speaker 4: That's it, yep.
3:50
Speaker 7: Is he the point that you made And the saddest
3:53
Speaker 7: comparison that he made was comparing Curry's MVP to Joel
3:57
Speaker 7: Embiid's MVP, saying that Joel was an MVY recently because
4:01
Speaker 7: how many injuries ago was Joel Embiid's MVP. Joel Embiid
4:04
Speaker 7: might as well be a completely different player now.
4:06
Speaker 3: Yes, and you can't. Honestly, there are very few MVPs
4:09
Speaker 3: you could even compare to Steph Curry, who was unanimous
4:13
Speaker 3: and the first time unanimous MVP, So that in itself
4:17
Speaker 3: is not a fair comparison. And normally I agree with
4:20
Speaker 3: like ninety five percent of the stuff Katie says. He's
4:24
Speaker 3: lately come across as somebody, you know, the more veteran player,
4:27
Speaker 3: the older, wiser guy, the one who's like not in
4:30
Speaker 3: it for the nonsense, and he just kind of goes
4:32
Speaker 3: in and breaks down things in a sensible way. But
4:36
Speaker 3: this one, he's just trying too hard. And I don't
4:39
Speaker 3: even get it s due because what Taylor said is correct, right,
4:42
Speaker 3: He's trying to justify what many people believe is the
4:45
Speaker 3: weakest move ever in sports.
4:47
Speaker 1: He's gonna be justifying that and defending that move for
4:50
Speaker 1: the remainder of his life.
4:52
Speaker 3: That's what he signed up for, right, But to do
4:54
Speaker 3: that whilst also insulting them, right, Like Draymond, that's how
4:58
Speaker 3: you have to do it. You have to.
5:00
Speaker 1: There's no way of doing it without him insulting the
5:02
Speaker 1: Golden State Warrior team that he played on.
5:04
Speaker 3: So he's more concerned with public perception about his move
5:09
Speaker 3: than his actual personal relationships with these folks. It's just
5:13
Speaker 3: a little sideways for me.
5:14
Speaker 7: The biggest difference in terms of the public perception besides
5:17
Speaker 7: the fact that the seventy six ers weren't this title
5:20
Speaker 7: contending team before Lebron James got there. To quote unquote
5:23
Speaker 7: ring Chase Stude, the difference is, Kevin Durant wins a
5:27
Speaker 7: title in Golden State, there is nothing he could ever
5:31
Speaker 7: do to make Warriors fans love him more than Steph Curry.
5:34
Speaker 6: Yep.
5:35
Speaker 7: If Lebron wins a title this year or next year
5:38
Speaker 7: in Philadelphia, yep, he is Philadelphia's guy for eternity his city.
5:43
Speaker 7: Right next to that Rocky statue, they're putting up a
5:45
Speaker 7: Lebron James statue.
5:46
Speaker 6: Yes.
5:47
Speaker 1: The other big difference is, you know, Kevin Durant was
5:49
Speaker 1: on a team that was up three to one on
5:51
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals the
5:54
Speaker 1: year before he left Oklahoma City and went to Golden
5:57
Speaker 1: State and joined the team that came back from that
6:00
Speaker 1: three one deficit and went on to win.
6:02
Speaker 6: An NBA championship.
6:03
Speaker 1: That team is one of the greatest teams to have
6:05
Speaker 1: ever played in the NBA, and Kevin Durant felt like
6:08
Speaker 1: they needed more.
6:09
Speaker 3: Yes, and then so going back to that point about
6:12
Speaker 3: just him not really caring about his personal relationships, like,
6:15
Speaker 3: I don't know how many people thought they had poor
6:18
Speaker 3: relationships over there.
6:19
Speaker 4: It just break.
6:20
Speaker 3: It just comes down to what Taylor just said. He
6:23
Speaker 3: seemed like he was upset. Now he's gonna say this
6:25
Speaker 3: is fan fiction. He's gonna say this is not the case.
6:28
Speaker 3: But people around there have people around him at the
6:32
Speaker 3: time had noticed it, had you know, probably even heard
6:35
Speaker 3: comments from him where it's just like, they don't love
6:37
Speaker 3: you the same way they do Steph, and they don't
6:39
Speaker 3: value you the same way they do the homegrown guys.
6:42
Speaker 3: And that's why he ended up getting out of there.
6:44
Speaker 3: And he just used Draymond Green and his you know,
6:47
Speaker 3: his argument with Draymond Green as the reason he was leaving.
6:51
Speaker 3: But it's just like what he did to Klay Thompson
6:54
Speaker 3: was so unfair right there. Yeah, but he had to
6:56
Speaker 3: to justify what it is he did.
6:58
Speaker 6: That's what I'm trying to tell you.
6:59
Speaker 3: But here's a question for if you needed a two
7:01
Speaker 3: way player today, would you take prime Jalen Brown or
7:06
Speaker 3: prime Klay Thompson Because people forget how good of a
7:09
Speaker 3: defender he was, right, and so if you were to
7:12
Speaker 3: I don't think Klay Thompson would have been a lead
7:14
Speaker 3: guy on a highly successful team. But he damn sure
7:18
Speaker 3: proved he could be a number two guy on a
7:21
Speaker 3: very successful, wildly successful team. And that's what Jalen Brown was.
7:25
Speaker 3: Despite his Finals MVP, for the entirety of his time
7:29
Speaker 3: there with Jason Tatum, he was considered the number two.
7:31
Speaker 3: So already it's just flaws and those you know in
7:35
Speaker 3: his argument, and those are the ones that normally KD
7:38
Speaker 3: is above. So the reason I say I'm shocked by
7:41
Speaker 3: this is because it's it's crazy how hard he continues
7:45
Speaker 3: to double triple, quadruple down on this concept and just say, hey,
7:49
Speaker 3: why don't you just enjoy possibly the greatest team that's
7:53
Speaker 3: ever been put together in the NBA. Instead he's trying
7:56
Speaker 3: to knock them to lift himself up, and I just
7:58
Speaker 3: think he's above that.
8:00
Speaker 7: Katy could have won me over if he took a
8:02
Speaker 7: torch to Draymond Green, because I'm at the point where
8:04
Speaker 7: I have Draymond Green fatigue right now. If he just
8:07
Speaker 7: came out and said, if we replaced Draymond Green with
8:10
Speaker 7: Robert Covington, Robert Covington's this Hall of Famer, I would
8:13
Speaker 7: have been like I would have been.
8:14
Speaker 4: In Katy's corner with the Katie jersey being like Katy,
8:17
Speaker 4: great point, great point, Bob Coo.
8:19
Speaker 3: I mean I would have I would have laughed when
8:22
Speaker 3: you said that, Taylor, and I would have supported you.
8:24
Speaker 3: But I would have said no, even for somebody who
8:27
Speaker 3: dislikes Draymond Green's public you know, persona and how he
8:31
Speaker 3: presents himself and throw these opinions that dude was phenomenal
8:35
Speaker 3: back then. If you go back to the Game seven
8:37
Speaker 3: that they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, you put up
8:40
Speaker 3: a thirty point?
8:41
Speaker 4: Was it a triple double?
8:42
Speaker 3: He was just phenomenal And so yeah, what player did
8:45
Speaker 3: you say, Robert Covington?
8:47
Speaker 1: Robert Covington, Yes, well, Paul Millsap there and he does
8:50
Speaker 1: the same thing.
8:51
Speaker 7: He's phenomenal too, Dese, he and Paul Millsap would have
8:54
Speaker 7: stood for phenomenal.
8:55
Speaker 1: And the m would have for MVB. What do you have, Dan,
8:59
Speaker 1: there's a n point, Alf, That's what you have.
9:02
Speaker 8: There's also this point that Kevin Durant will never understand,
9:05
Speaker 8: and it's what he did to Oklahoma City. I don't
9:08
Speaker 8: think there are a lot of people here that care
9:09
Speaker 8: that Lebron left the Lakers because it was the Lakers.
9:12
Speaker 8: But when Durant talks, whenever he talks or he talks
9:15
Speaker 8: about the Warriors team, there is always the part of
9:17
Speaker 8: what he did to Oklahoma City. And even though the
9:19
Speaker 8: thunder of comeback and rebuilt and of won an NBA title,
9:23
Speaker 8: that stain on Durant will never change. So while it's
9:25
Speaker 8: not a part of this direct conversation, I think the
9:28
Speaker 8: way that people feel about Durant still goes back to
9:31
Speaker 8: what he did to Oklahoma City in that moment.
9:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. And here's another stay. And even
9:36
Speaker 3: though look you know this, I'm a huge Rockets fan.
9:39
Speaker 3: I love it, and I've always loved KD as a player,
9:42
Speaker 3: and ninety five percent of the time, like I said,
9:46
Speaker 3: I agree with what he says. But what teammates, big
9:50
Speaker 3: name teammates that he's had, that are like cool with him,
9:53
Speaker 3: that are are friendly with him, that support him. I mean,
9:56
Speaker 3: maybe Kyrie Irving. Maybe is that the ally you want necessarily?
9:59
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's just it would upset me if I was,
10:03
Speaker 3: you know, a lifelong Kevin Durant fan that he doesn't
10:07
Speaker 3: have those allies, those supporters and those and maybe he does.
10:10
Speaker 3: Maybe they're just not the big name stars.
10:12
Speaker 7: It always surprises me that Kevin Durant seems shocked by
10:16
Speaker 7: the blowback from what came after he chose the Warriors
10:20
Speaker 7: and winning in Golden State and how that has kind
10:23
Speaker 7: of affected his legacy.
10:24
Speaker 4: If he could go back, do you.
10:26
Speaker 7: Think he would have still went to Golden State, Like,
10:29
Speaker 7: knowing what he knows now, he makes a different team,
10:31
Speaker 7: you think.
10:32
Speaker 4: I do?
10:32
Speaker 6: I think he stays at Oklahoma City?
10:34
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I mean it's the opposite of everything we're
10:36
Speaker 1: taught about sports and competition.
10:39
Speaker 3: If you can't beat him, join them. That's not what
10:41
Speaker 3: we're taught. We're taught.
10:42
Speaker 6: If you can't beat him, go back, get to work
10:44
Speaker 6: and try harder.
10:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think going back, armed with hindsight, I think
10:47
Speaker 3: he would still leave Oklahoma City because the whole Russell
10:50
Speaker 3: Westbrook and Billy Donovan thing probably true, right, especially on
10:53
Speaker 3: the Billy Donovan part. Not you know, a multiple time
10:56
Speaker 3: championship head coach. But he would go to another team,
10:59
Speaker 3: he would say. The reason being is he was at
11:02
Speaker 3: Golden State and he saw, Yes, Steph's great, but I
11:05
Speaker 3: don't need a system. I am the system right and
11:08
Speaker 3: I could win pretty much anywhere and he probably could
11:12
Speaker 3: have gotten you know, one a team, let's say it's Philadelphia,
11:15
Speaker 3: could have gotten Philadelphia a championship. You know that they
11:18
Speaker 3: hadn't won in over thirty plus years at the time,
11:20
Speaker 3: forty years maybe at the time, and looked completely different,
11:23
Speaker 3: and I think armed with hindsight, he definitely would do that.
11:25
Speaker 1: You know, I was reading a book it's called us
11:27
Speaker 1: Who Got his Personal record book and it's you know,
11:30
Speaker 1: it's my favorite author. And what he wrote in that
11:32
Speaker 1: book and it rings true to this conversation, is he
11:36
Speaker 1: imagine Michael Jordan not being able to get past the
11:39
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons and rather than getting back to work, what
11:42
Speaker 1: he decided to do is, Hey, you know what, I
11:44
Speaker 1: can't beat this team. I'm not going to work harder.
11:46
Speaker 1: I'm just going to join this team. Imagine if Michael
11:49
Speaker 1: Jordan did that, seriously, in what world would he do that?
11:53
Speaker 6: There is no world?
11:54
Speaker 1: And son Kevin Durant is haunted by his own decision
11:58
Speaker 1: and will be haunted by that decision for the remainder
12:01
Speaker 1: of time, because what he's trying to do as he
12:02
Speaker 1: gets older is justify his place in NBA history.
12:06
Speaker 7: Dan Stanzick to your favorite author, too.
12:08
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, I mean the book doesn't get done without him. Wow.
12:12
Speaker 3: Now I'm just picturing though. Imagine the lineup. You got
12:14
Speaker 3: to move Michael Jordan to the three, but Man Isaiah Thomas,
12:17
Speaker 3: Joe Dumart, Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman and Bill lame Beer.
12:21
Speaker 3: They'd definitely be fighting those warriors for the best team ever.
12:24
Speaker 6: Yes, is he? Do you like appetizers?
12:26
Speaker 1: The reason I asked that question it's an odd if Jordan.
12:31
Speaker 8: If Jordan joined the Pistons, honest question, and you have
12:34
Speaker 8: Vinnie Johnson as the microwave, would Jordan be the air
12:37
Speaker 8: frar instead of air Jordan.
12:39
Speaker 3: There's a little too early a time machine for Yeah,
12:42
Speaker 3: I guess so I like pigs in a blanket personally.
12:45
Speaker 1: The reason I asked that is because Taylor told me
12:47
Speaker 1: he's got a football appetizer.
12:49
Speaker 4: Wow.
12:50
Speaker 7: Well, I feel like we need a little football appetizer
12:52
Speaker 7: right now. Get some football in this conversation.
12:55
Speaker 6: Yes.
12:56
Speaker 7: ESPN's Ben Solak on the Golicks earlier today said the
13:01
Speaker 7: Bears are on Regression Watch, but the Bears are also
13:04
Speaker 7: on Elite Watch.
13:07
Speaker 3: Covered all his bases. Anything can happen with the Chicago
13:10
Speaker 3: Bears this season. What an appetizer.
13:13
Speaker 9: So you're telling me as long as they finish above
13:16
Speaker 9: or below where they were exactly last year.
13:18
Speaker 4: Yes, he's right.
13:19
Speaker 6: Yes.
13:20
Speaker 1: For the first ten minutes, mikey A did not make
13:22
Speaker 1: a move, and then he perked up the.
13:23
Speaker 3: Second he said, Ben sulwhakizer, pigs and the blankets.
13:29
Speaker 10: Listen how Kevin Durant led, this show is beyond me?
13:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, well is he in the news?
13:35
Speaker 4: I had?
13:36
Speaker 7: I had an opening monologue prepared about Brian Cashman.
13:39
Speaker 4: Did you I want to hear it come next? Maybe?
13:42
Speaker 6: As Draymond Green responded the KD, I'm certain.
13:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, And this is this is what drives me crazy.
13:48
Speaker 3: He's not signed it out, Draymond. Draymond gave a like,
13:52
Speaker 3: offered a joke that a high schooler would have offered now,
13:56
Speaker 3: and then laughed at himself with a million crying emojis.
13:59
Speaker 3: He said, uh, sniper, thought he was on his burner.
14:04
Speaker 3: It's a good joke for like five years ago. Many
14:07
Speaker 3: what's your favorite appetizer?
14:09
Speaker 7: Pigs in a blank stew Yeah, I think pigs in
14:11
Speaker 7: a blanket. If you were doing a Mount Rushmore Monday, yeah,
14:14
Speaker 7: maybe that's an upcoming Mount rush More Monday appetizers.
14:18
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean it's up to me. I was the winner,
14:20
Speaker 6: so we'll see.
14:20
Speaker 7: I would spoil my draft board right now and tell
14:22
Speaker 7: you guys my one one is pigs in a blanket.
14:25
Speaker 3: I feel bad for the sculptors who have to do
14:27
Speaker 3: food on a mountain. But Mikey, what do you think.
14:29
Speaker 4: Let's go to our expert.
14:30
Speaker 10: Oh, many sliders?
14:33
Speaker 6: Wow?
14:33
Speaker 4: Great?
14:34
Speaker 3: Really it's too filling for me. It's too much in
14:36
Speaker 3: an appetizer.
14:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you.
14:42
Speaker 3: He's chiseled.
14:43
Speaker 7: I mean, Mikey, I am with you that I think
14:45
Speaker 7: many sliders are better than regular sized burgers.
14:49
Speaker 3: Put it on a pole. Yeah, that's a different question.
14:51
Speaker 4: I agree with you there, Yes.
14:53
Speaker 6: Put it on the pole.
14:54
Speaker 1: Are many sliders better than an actual, real size burger?
14:58
Speaker 6: I'm not certain. I like a big burger.
15:00

17:47
Speaker 8: back to you, Thank you, Dan Mikey. Did the mention
17:50
Speaker 8: of a coaches pole get you excited?
17:53
Speaker 4: Oh yeah?
17:54
Speaker 9: Tween elco yesterday and a coaches poll today.
17:57
Speaker 10: It's almost here, baby.
17:59
Speaker 1: Hey coaches bawl ranking teams who haven't played a single
18:03
Speaker 1: snap of a single game yet.
18:04
Speaker 3: Don't get me started on coaches poll. Football is back.
18:08
Speaker 3: Call him SID Polls, Sports Information Director polls. The coaches
18:11
Speaker 3: have nothing to do with him.
18:13
Speaker 1: Football is back, but just for a moment Taylor go ahead, unleash.
18:16
Speaker 1: I'm Brian Cashman.
18:18
Speaker 7: Just to recap what the Yankees did at the deadline.
18:20
Speaker 7: They added a platoon infielder at their most crowded position
18:24
Speaker 7: in Luis Garcia Junior. And they added a platoon outfielder
18:28
Speaker 7: in Elliott Ramos. They traded four relievers. They didn't trade
18:32
Speaker 7: for a single reliever at the deadline, first time since
18:35
Speaker 7: twenty nineteen. I watch one hundred and sixty two Yankee.
18:39
Speaker 4: Games a year.
18:40
Speaker 7: You cut me open, Yeah, I bleed Yankee pinstripes. What
18:44
Speaker 7: Brian Cashman did yesterday interesting, Yeah, was a slap in
18:48
Speaker 7: the face to everybody who actually cares about this Yankee team.
18:52
Speaker 7: And my biggest frustration with Brian Cashman there is never
18:57
Speaker 7: any sense of urgency because he knows he's on to
19:00
Speaker 7: If Brian Cashman thought for even a second that his
19:04
Speaker 7: job was on the line this season, Austin Wells isn't
19:07
Speaker 7: the starting catcher today, he gets a catcher at the deadline.
19:11
Speaker 7: And if the excuse from Cashman is there weren't any
19:14
Speaker 7: catchers available. Okay, really there were catchers available. They got traded.
19:19
Speaker 7: They got traded inside the division. They clutch onto their prospects.
19:24
Speaker 7: The problem is this isn't a market that it was
19:27
Speaker 7: ten years ago where you have to overpay now because
19:29
Speaker 7: of the third wild card. What the Yankees analytic department
19:33
Speaker 7: doesn't understand is more teams think they're contenders, which means
19:38
Speaker 7: fewer quality players are available. You have to be aggressive
19:42
Speaker 7: and you compare what Craig Breslo said for the Red Sox.
19:46
Speaker 7: His exact quote was, this team has demonstrated in incredible
19:51
Speaker 7: resilience and relentlessness. They deserved and our fans deserved our
19:55
Speaker 7: efforts to try and find ways to make the Red
19:59
Speaker 7: Sox better. That is a stark contrast between Brian Cashman's
20:04
Speaker 7: approach every trade deadline and if I'm if I'm Cam
20:08
Speaker 7: Schlittler today, if I'm Garrett Cole today, Max Freed, Aaron Judge,
20:12
Speaker 7: I'm just as offended as me because Brian Cashman is
20:16
Speaker 7: looking at these guys saying, you guys have to be
20:19
Speaker 7: perfect in the postseason. Yeah, and that's always my problem
20:22
Speaker 7: with Brian Cashman. It's no way to reward a championship
20:26
Speaker 7: caliber corp. You reward them by doing what the Dodgers
20:29
Speaker 7: did and saying, let's go out and get these guys.
20:32
Speaker 7: And if I'm one of these players, I'm asking, why
20:34
Speaker 7: does the front office expect me to overcome holes that
20:37
Speaker 7: they not only created, but Brian Cashman has had every
20:41
Speaker 7: opportunity to fix that holes.
20:43
Speaker 3: Did he really just say no catchers available when their
20:45
Speaker 3: rival got a catch her?
20:48
Speaker 7: Their excuse is always we looked at the market, we
20:50
Speaker 7: didn't like what the market said. What really drives me crazy?
20:54
Speaker 7: I think I've said what really drives me crazy? Because
20:56
Speaker 7: there's there's four things that drives me crazy about Brian Cashman.
21:03
Speaker 7: Brian Cashman gets credit because the Yankees are always in contention. Yes,
21:08
Speaker 7: because they don't have Mets seasons. Despite having one of
21:11
Speaker 7: the largest payrolls in baseball.
21:13
Speaker 6: They're consistently good.
21:15
Speaker 1: Yes, he has job security, and you hate the fact
21:17
Speaker 1: that he has job security.
21:18
Speaker 7: They haven't won World Series since two thousand and nine.
21:21
Speaker 7: So if you want to tell me the new standard is, hey,
21:25
Speaker 7: we're not the Mets. Okay, go hang up a banner
21:27
Speaker 7: in Yankee Stadium in whatever it's called up top.
21:32
Speaker 4: I can't even remember the word. I'm so angry the facade.
21:34
Speaker 3: Ye, wow, that sounds right.
21:35
Speaker 6: I mean you cut him open in pinstripes.
21:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, hang up a banner in Monument Park that says
21:42
Speaker 7: we're not the Mets, because you can't tell me that
21:45
Speaker 7: The Yankees expectation now is World Series or bus because
21:49
Speaker 7: every time we get to the postseason, Me and Mikey
21:52
Speaker 7: already know how this Yankee season ends. The Yankees are
21:55
Speaker 7: going to get to October, they don't have enough bats
21:57
Speaker 7: ball hitters, the offense disappears. He's another postseason series. And
22:01
Speaker 7: then Brian Cashman has the audacity to get up and
22:04
Speaker 7: go postseason baseball's a crapshoot for the eighteenth consecutive year.
22:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, he adds out to his skihouse and Wreckinridge.
22:13
Speaker 3: I love that town, Taylor.
22:15
Speaker 10: The Yankees have.
22:16
Speaker 9: The Yankees have such great starting pitching and Taylor and
22:20
Speaker 9: I already know that when they get to October, Cam
22:24
Speaker 9: Schlittler is going to leave a game after pitching six
22:27
Speaker 9: and a third innings of one run ball and they're
22:29
Speaker 9: gonna lose five to two because they have no ballpen help,
22:33
Speaker 9: they have no offense that's going to carry them.
22:35
Speaker 10: They're going to.
22:36
Speaker 9: Sit back and go, well, somebody's gonna have to hit
22:38
Speaker 9: a home run, and nobody's gonna be able to hit
22:40
Speaker 9: a home run because you're gonna face really good pitching
22:43
Speaker 9: in cold weather and it just doesn't fly that way.
22:46
Speaker 10: Taylor, I couldn't be.
22:48
Speaker 9: I am just as frustrated as you about this team.
22:51
Speaker 7: Is he the guy that they got yesterday, Elliott Ramos
22:55
Speaker 7: from the San Francisco Giants. He profiles as a guy
22:58
Speaker 7: who chases pitches. He doesn't, He whiffs, and he strikes out.
23:02
Speaker 6: No perfect.
23:03
Speaker 7: That is the formula for the Yankee offense like the
23:05
Speaker 7: past eighteen years, and the front office, for some reason,
23:10
Speaker 7: just keeps doubling down on this formula and being like,
23:15
Speaker 7: I don't know why this isn't working every postseason.
23:18
Speaker 3: Not to nitpick, but there's no way you watch one
23:20
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two Yankees games in a year.
23:22
Speaker 6: No, he does, he does.
23:23
Speaker 4: I do.
23:24
Speaker 7: I don't watch them all live, but if I miss
23:27
Speaker 7: a game, I'll replay it.
23:28
Speaker 3: Okay, that's crazy, but it's also making so much sense.
23:32
Speaker 3: And I hate that I'm gonna do this to Taylor
23:35
Speaker 3: right now because it was a private conversation, but I
23:38
Speaker 3: had asked Taylor STU because I'm promoting I'm trying to
23:41
Speaker 3: get our Flag Football League numbers up again. If you're
23:44
Speaker 3: in South Florida and want to play flag football, my
23:45
Speaker 3: name is Real good Chairs. Look me up on Instagram,
23:47
Speaker 3: hit me up. But I'm trying to promote that I'm
23:50
Speaker 3: trying to get our numbers back up. And I kind
23:52
Speaker 3: of had a feeling when Taylor asked me to play
23:55
Speaker 3: softball that he only really played football over that one season.
23:58
Speaker 4: As it's sort of a quid pro quot, like I'll
24:00
Speaker 4: do it if you do it for me, and.
24:02
Speaker 6: So home and home.
24:03
Speaker 3: Yes, I reluctantly asked him, Hey, do you want to
24:07
Speaker 3: join us again in the fall. It'll be a better season,
24:09
Speaker 3: I promise. It was an immediate note. And the reasoning
24:13
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he wants me to say this,
24:15
Speaker 3: but the reasoning is it doesn't have the same love
24:18
Speaker 3: for the game. No love for the game the game
24:20
Speaker 3: that he played in college and he had the confidence
24:22
Speaker 3: to walk on to a team.
24:24
Speaker 4: Yes, does not have the love for the game.
24:26
Speaker 3: Has too many potential injuries.
24:27
Speaker 1: When you played at that level though a D one level,
24:30
Speaker 1: everything else falls short and competitive.
24:32
Speaker 7: Game right, But also I realized the second I saw
24:36
Speaker 7: you swing the bat, I didn't need that Home at
24:37
Speaker 7: Home anymore.
24:40
Speaker 4: He did not even swing the bat much.
24:41
Speaker 1: He was bringing more to your team than you were
24:43
Speaker 1: bringing to his team, you.
24:44
Speaker 3: Know, I mean, no, he didn't show up for my team.
24:46
Speaker 3: He showed up twice, so he didn't get but the
24:48
Speaker 3: timing did show up. I think he had a pick
24:50
Speaker 3: six and he lost the two games. Yeah, that's all
24:52
Speaker 3: you need to know.
24:53
Speaker 4: When I played flag, when I played flag football, keeping stads.
24:58
Speaker 4: My only thought when.
24:58
Speaker 7: I'm playing flag football out there is well my football
25:02
Speaker 7: senior season ended with a torn a cl and the
25:05
Speaker 7: only thing I could think out there playing flag football
25:08
Speaker 7: decade later is yeah, don't tear your a cl if
25:12
Speaker 7: I tear my east, if I tear my ACL and
25:15
Speaker 7: is he's flag football League one, I'll never forgive, is he?
25:18
Speaker 7: And that that is that is too much for my
25:21
Speaker 7: own conscience?
25:22
Speaker 10: Right?
25:23
Speaker 1: Were you surprised by the way is he when Taylor said,
25:26
Speaker 1: if you cut me open, pinch stripes come.
25:28
Speaker 4: Out, because we had pin stripes, Yankee pincher.
25:30
Speaker 1: There's a number of options, Carolina Blue, Jalen Brunson's Blood.
25:35
Speaker 7: So for my list of teams, the team that I
25:39
Speaker 7: wanted to see when a title the most is the Knicks.
25:42
Speaker 7: But the team that enrages me the most and the
25:45
Speaker 7: team I'm the most passionate about, is the Yankees. And
25:48
Speaker 7: I think that kind of comes with being a one
25:50
Speaker 7: sixty twur. Like if you're a one sixty two. Ricardo's
25:54
Speaker 7: nodding his head along right now because he's a Marlins
25:56
Speaker 7: one sixty two, he would.
25:57
Speaker 3: Watch one sixty seven if they had it.
25:59
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you're one sixty two or you gotta screw loose.
26:02
Speaker 3: I haven't screwed it. I have never heard of somebody
26:05
Speaker 3: rewatching or watching for the first time a taped baseball game.
26:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, so just get me the score.
26:11
Speaker 7: What I'll do in those situations is I'll try to
26:14
Speaker 7: stay off social media. It's it's tougher than ever right
26:17
Speaker 7: now because I've got a Yankee group chat and it's
26:21
Speaker 7: just me and two of my friends from home. It's
26:25
Speaker 7: it's tough to not get things spoiled in this era
26:28
Speaker 7: of sports media.
26:29
Speaker 3: You see. Now, I just want to join a softball
26:31
Speaker 3: league just so I can prove to Taylor if I
26:32
Speaker 3: play a couple of times, I could play that game
26:34
Speaker 3: just fine.
26:35
Speaker 10: Dan.
26:36
Speaker 8: You know it's funny because in Taylor talking about not
26:39
Speaker 8: wanting to tear his ACL, I can totally relate to that,
26:43
Speaker 8: but it reminded me of being irrational and Taylor watching
26:47
Speaker 8: so many games. Remember I had my golf trip to
26:49
Speaker 8: Michigan like late May. Anytime my five year old son
26:53
Speaker 8: would want to, you know, play around, jump on my back,
26:55
Speaker 8: I'm fine with it. But the week before when he
26:58
Speaker 8: would jump on my back, get off, Get off my back,
27:01
Speaker 8: because I did not want to pull a muscle a
27:03
Speaker 8: week before the golf trip. So in a way, when
27:06
Speaker 8: Taylor's talking about not wanting to tear a his ACL,
27:08
Speaker 8: which is a much more uh you know, PTSD with
27:11
Speaker 8: all of it, much worse injury, I was the same
27:14
Speaker 8: way in making sure that my golf trip would not
27:16
Speaker 8: be ruined by pulled muscle in my back.
27:18
Speaker 4: So I thank you Dan.
27:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, because as you get older, and Dan
27:22
Speaker 1: Byer is right about this, you will not play other sports.
27:25
Speaker 1: You won't do anything that will jeopardize your golf game.
27:28
Speaker 1: Correct one percent?
27:31
Speaker 6: Yes.
27:31
Speaker 7: And another thing about this Yankee team yesterday, I'm watching
27:35
Speaker 7: this Yankee team. Yea, Luis Garcia Junior hits a two
27:39
Speaker 7: run home run. The Yankees come back from down six
27:42
Speaker 7: to nothing. He hits a home run when they're down
27:44
Speaker 7: six to five, he makes it seven to six. My
27:46
Speaker 7: Yankee group chat is buzzing. All the boys are talking
27:49
Speaker 7: to him there.
27:49
Speaker 3: With two people on there. Yeah, it's not all the people.
27:52
Speaker 3: It's very sad.
27:53
Speaker 7: Yes, we were buzzing, and the conversation was I think
27:56
Speaker 7: Luis Garcia Junior just earned his pinstripes. But horse, of course,
28:01
Speaker 7: Brian Cashman doesn't add any bullpen arms, which is inexcusable
28:06
Speaker 7: really for this Yankee team. And what does he do?
28:09
Speaker 7: He relies on on hell trevih who had a seven
28:12
Speaker 7: ERA with the Colorado Rockies last year, to be this
28:16
Speaker 7: guy who has a point five to six ERA in
28:18
Speaker 7: fourteen innings this year, And what if trev do he
28:20
Speaker 7: gives up a seventh spot seven?
28:23
Speaker 4: Disgusting?
28:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, Taylor put it on the poll. Is being healthy
28:26
Speaker 1: for your golf game more important than your kid's happiness?
28:31
Speaker 10: The week before?
28:32
Speaker 4: It is?
28:34
Speaker 3: I see you laughing, Dad, I think for Dad, it's
28:36
Speaker 3: any time.
28:37
Speaker 8: No, No, I love him, but hey, I no chances
28:39
Speaker 8: were taken. Everything was paid for. There were no more refunds.
28:43
Speaker 8: He couldn't get any changes on the plane ticket. We
28:46
Speaker 8: were locked in, so this back better'd be in shape.
28:49
Speaker 6: Are we doing? Is it just me?
28:50
Speaker 3: Or I don't know? Are we just gonna let Taylor
28:54
Speaker 3: rant about the Yankees.
28:55
Speaker 7: Add a single bullpen arm, it would be one thing
28:59
Speaker 7: like the shortstop. Okay, no shortstops got moved. That just
29:03
Speaker 7: means no short stops were available. There were plenty of
29:07
Speaker 7: options to add a reliever, and now they did trade
29:10
Speaker 7: Camille Deval, so it's almost like an addition by subtraction,
29:12
Speaker 7: because Camille Deval has been absolutely terrible on the Yankees.
29:16
Speaker 4: But take your word for it.
29:18
Speaker 7: This bullpen, Yeah, this bullpen is being held together right
29:22
Speaker 7: now with like duct tape and it's falling apart really quickly,
29:26
Speaker 7: and it's it's it's killing my mental health.
29:31
Speaker 6: George, I can hear him.
29:34
Speaker 7: Do not mention George Lombard because it was so predictable
29:39
Speaker 7: that the Yankees call up their number one prospect the
29:42
Speaker 7: day after the trade deadline, because Brian Cashman waltzed into
29:46
Speaker 7: the trade deadline saying, I know I'm not gonna make
29:48
Speaker 7: any move. I know the Yankee fans are going to
29:51
Speaker 7: be mad when I don't make any moves. So what
29:53
Speaker 7: am I gonna do? I'm gonna call up this prospect
29:57
Speaker 7: on August fourth, the day after the trade deadline, beca
30:00
Speaker 7: because that's gonna be the red meat that I throw
30:02
Speaker 7: up to these Yankee fans.
30:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, good luck, George Lombard.
30:06
Speaker 3: Have you mentioned Taylor? The grade you gave Cashman.
30:09
Speaker 4: D D you got Louise scar See it, we lead
30:12
Speaker 4: the league in platoons.
30:14
Speaker 3: Sounds like it sounds like you're talking about a guy
30:16
Speaker 3: who deserves it.
30:17
Speaker 7: If we are going to get to the postseason and
30:18
Speaker 7: the Yankees are gonna have two completely different lineups because
30:22
Speaker 7: one one lineup only hits righty's, one lineup only hits lefties.
30:26
Speaker 7: And then the team, like the Red Sox is gonna
30:28
Speaker 7: start with the lefty. We're gonna have our righty lineup
30:30
Speaker 7: in They're gonna put a righty in the bullpen, and
30:32
Speaker 7: everybody's gonna be like, what do we do? What happened
30:34
Speaker 7: in the days where people were everyday players that could
30:37
Speaker 7: hit righty's on lefty?
30:38
Speaker 3: I do not have enough players to just go all
30:40
Speaker 3: the other side, all right, everybody, We're switching everybody out
30:43
Speaker 3: hitting facing a left hander?
30:44
Speaker 6: Now, I mean, what's wrong with the platoon? I love
30:46
Speaker 6: a good platoon.
30:47
Speaker 3: I did every once in a while, not at every position.
30:49
Speaker 4: And now player in this lineup platoon Yankees.
30:53
Speaker 6: But in baseball, if you have two, then you have
30:55
Speaker 6: one occasional.
30:56
Speaker 4: It is the rare.
30:56
Speaker 7: Situation because Louis Garcia Junior, that's two ninety five right,
31:01
Speaker 7: and Paul Goldschmi bat's three zero six against lefties right,
31:04
Speaker 7: and if you combine their right, he's in lefty splits.
31:06
Speaker 6: They're great.
31:07
Speaker 4: It is one heck of a player.
31:12
Speaker 6: Mikey, are you a one sixty two?
31:13
Speaker 10: Ur uh No, I'm more of like a one oh five.
31:18
Speaker 3: If you're in the hundreds, it's two one oh.
31:19
Speaker 10: Five or anything West Coast. I'm out anything like I'm
31:23
Speaker 10: not staying home to watch it.
31:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, is there anything left on your chest?
31:26
Speaker 4: There? Taylor team team.
31:29
Speaker 7: And then now we're sending Anthony Volpi down to the
31:33
Speaker 7: minor leagues, and Anthony Volpi's coming out saying he's gonna
31:35
Speaker 7: work on second base, or Aaron Boon saying he's gonna
31:37
Speaker 7: work on shortsop and second base. I think this might
31:41
Speaker 7: be the end for Anthony Volpi, but I also do
31:43
Speaker 7: see a scenario where he's he's the Yankees starting second
31:45
Speaker 7: baseman because Jazz Chisholm, pack your bags, buddy. I know
31:49
Speaker 7: you got to finish out these three months with the Yankees. Yes,
31:52
Speaker 7: whatever you do, Jazz Chisholm in these next three months.
31:55
Speaker 7: Good luck on the Cincinnati Reds last next year, right, I.
31:58
Speaker 10: Look forward to you striking out in a big spot
32:00
Speaker 10: in October.
32:01
Speaker 3: It'd be odd to back your bags though in August.
32:03
Speaker 10: No.
32:04
Speaker 7: Yeah, but just Chisholm he epitomizes this Yankee team where
32:08
Speaker 7: he says he doesn't like playing cold weather baseball. Jez,
32:12
Speaker 7: I hate to break it to you. It gets pretty
32:14
Speaker 7: cold in the fall in New York City. Trade him
32:18
Speaker 7: back to the Marlins.
32:21
Speaker 4: Is it just me?
32:22
Speaker 3: Or we were supposed to do it here? We did it.
32:25
Speaker 3: Taylor had to give Cashman a d We'll do it next.
32:29
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company
32:32
Speaker 2: Live Weekday. He said, three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
32:39
Speaker 1: If you didn't get enough Yankees in that last segment,
32:42
Speaker 1: Jake Storey Alley get.
32:43
Speaker 4: To join us coming up next segment.
32:46
Speaker 1: Danny Amandola going to join us next hour as well,
32:51
Speaker 1: and we'll get to the one hundred greatest baseball players
32:53
Speaker 1: of all time, according to a guy named Jake.
32:55
Speaker 6: God, I'm tired of this list.
32:57
Speaker 1: J though not Jake's story, owing no Jake would do
33:01
Speaker 1: it correctly.
33:02
Speaker 3: Let's get to uh, is it just me? Or give
33:05
Speaker 3: me the music?
33:05
Speaker 1: Guy with sim who wants to kick off the proceedings
33:12
Speaker 1: today Taylor does?
33:14
Speaker 4: Is it just mirrored?
33:14
Speaker 7: Does Brian Cashman kind of stick at his job because
33:16
Speaker 7: you would think that the Yankees would have been a
33:18
Speaker 7: little more aggressive at the deadline, Oh cash Man.
33:24
Speaker 1: Izz He and I proclaimed during the break that we
33:27
Speaker 1: are now rooting for the Yankees to win it all.
33:29
Speaker 3: I want them to win it I want them to
33:31
Speaker 3: be the reason why the rest of the baseball it's like, Okay,
33:34
Speaker 3: we don't need a salary. Yeah, because they beat the
33:36
Speaker 3: Dodgers and it would make Taylor somehow both equally happy
33:40
Speaker 3: and frustrated.
33:41
Speaker 7: Realistically, the Yankees can win it all because the path
33:46
Speaker 7: to the World Series from the American League has never
33:49
Speaker 7: been easier.
33:49
Speaker 4: It's the Yankees, It's the Rays, it's the Red Sox.
33:52
Speaker 7: It's gonna be one of those three teams because nobody's
33:54
Speaker 7: believing in the Is it just Mirrod? Does nobody believe
33:56
Speaker 7: in the Chicago White Sox second one right there?
34:00
Speaker 6: Baseball?
34:00
Speaker 3: Would it be if it were Dodgers White soze, I'm
34:05
Speaker 3: just learning the White Socks are good.
34:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, scrappy.
34:08
Speaker 3: Worst team in the league last year.
34:11
Speaker 1: Shout at the series. Very exciting. Let's go out to
34:14
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks, Dan.
34:15
Speaker 8: Byer guys off of the heels of the slider conversation earlier.
34:19
Speaker 4: Is it just me?
34:20
Speaker 8: Or could we ditch the mini on sliders because aren't
34:22
Speaker 8: they already mini as it is?
34:23
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right.
34:25
Speaker 7: Any sliders it's like ATM machine, Yeah.
34:28
Speaker 3: Tin number ATM machine, put it on the pole tailor yeah?
34:32
Speaker 6: Can we ditch the mini on many sliders?
34:35
Speaker 3: Dan's right about I feel like you guys are short
34:38
Speaker 3: changing beef carpaccio, like it's really good.
34:40
Speaker 10: We're not.
34:41
Speaker 3: I'm not saying for a tailcame, No, we're not.
34:44
Speaker 4: It's the name beef carpaccio.
34:45
Speaker 7: It sounds like Ken Rosenthal would love beef carpaccio pretentious.
34:50
Speaker 3: If it is bow tie.
34:53
Speaker 1: Oh, sure, I'll have some beef carpaccio.
34:57
Speaker 4: It's good.
34:57
Speaker 3: It's Tinley slice.
34:58
Speaker 4: It's very nice.
35:00
Speaker 6: Mikey, Yeah, you have one for us?
35:02
Speaker 4: I do Is it just me? Or is there no
35:05
Speaker 4: way to.
35:06
Speaker 9: Ask for a manager without seeming like an absolute Karen
35:11
Speaker 9: or an absolute pretentious guy.
35:13
Speaker 11: Because I had to speak to a manager at a
35:15
Speaker 11: store today and it had nothing to do with a complaint.
35:18
Speaker 11: I was literally going to ask him about a fundraising
35:21
Speaker 11: thing for my kids' baseball team.
35:23
Speaker 3: When I went up to the work and I was like, Hi,
35:25
Speaker 3: is there a manager around?
35:26
Speaker 9: And she immediately was like, oh, geez, look at you.
35:29
Speaker 9: I was like, no, it's really not a complaint, but
35:31
Speaker 9: there's just no way to do it without seeming like
35:34
Speaker 9: you're going to be one of.
35:35
Speaker 3: Those You couldn't be more correct there, Mikey, because I
35:38
Speaker 3: was at a store the other day and I was
35:41
Speaker 3: complaining because it was something that was supposed to be delivered.
35:43
Speaker 3: It was told me it was delivered and said I
35:45
Speaker 3: went to go pick it up and.
35:46
Speaker 4: It wasn't there.
35:47
Speaker 3: And I did everything in my power to not ask
35:50
Speaker 3: for the manager, but it was clear, Hey, I'm going
35:53
Speaker 3: to keep talking until somebody above you comes to talks
35:56
Speaker 3: to me.
35:57
Speaker 4: Mikey.
35:57
Speaker 7: I think the way you could have done it is
35:59
Speaker 7: if you went to the employee and said, I love
36:03
Speaker 7: this star.
36:03
Speaker 4: You guys are doing great. Here.
36:05
Speaker 7: Can I talk to the manager, because then I think
36:07
Speaker 7: you're coming in from a more friendly perspective.
36:09
Speaker 6: I thought for sure you were going to go in
36:11
Speaker 6: on the Yankees manager.
36:12
Speaker 4: No, I have no problem with Aaron Boone.
36:15
Speaker 7: Brian Cashon might as well be tying Aaron Boone's hands,
36:18
Speaker 7: find his back and saying good luck trying to manage
36:20
Speaker 7: this team.
36:20
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody could win.
36:21
Speaker 10: With this team or Aaron boom.
36:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it was up to Aaron Boone, Aaron Boone
36:26
Speaker 4: would have got a catcher this week.
36:28
Speaker 3: I don't think Aaron Boone talked to the general manager.
36:30
Speaker 7: Aaron Boone doesn't want to keep trotting out Austin Wells
36:33
Speaker 7: every day.
36:35
Speaker 6: Go ahead?
36:36
Speaker 10: Is it?
36:37
Speaker 3: What game?
36:37
Speaker 6: Is this? Is it just me?
36:38
Speaker 8: Is it just me?
36:39
Speaker 4: Or is it just me?
36:40
Speaker 3: Or do people actually think they can pass or are
36:43
Speaker 3: supposed to pass a field sobriety test? Obviously, the conversation
36:48
Speaker 3: came up with Tony Romo and his field sobriety test
36:50
Speaker 3: and how hilarious it was and everything was on video
36:52
Speaker 3: and it was way too, way too online. Those things
36:54
Speaker 3: are very embarrassing, I'm sure, but do people not recognize it?
36:58
Speaker 3: Those are designed, They're completely subjective, it's not even that
37:02
Speaker 3: they're tricky difficult you have to fall in structures. They're
37:05
Speaker 3: entirely subjective, to the point where the CoP's gonna say, ooh, yeah,
37:08
Speaker 3: you didn't do too well on that.
37:09
Speaker 4: Here's the breathalyzer.
37:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I ever get pulled over, it's a bridge
37:12
Speaker 1: to the breathalyzed exactly.
37:13
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if all you have to do is
37:15
Speaker 3: say the alphabet. They're like, I don't know, you kind
37:17
Speaker 3: of went through m LMNOP too quickly. See, I even
37:20
Speaker 3: screwed it up right there. Boom, here's a breathalyzer. If
37:22
Speaker 3: I ever get pulled over on suspicion for drunk driving,
37:25
Speaker 3: as long as I haven't been drinking, which I don't
37:27
Speaker 3: drink and drive, i'd be just can we just speed
37:29
Speaker 3: it up and get me the breathalyzer, please, because I
37:31
Speaker 3: do not need to go through this embarrassing nonsense just
37:34
Speaker 3: for you to tell me that, oh I failed and
37:36
Speaker 3: now I have to breathe.
37:37
Speaker 4: I like that.
37:37
Speaker 1: You get pulled over, you pull down the window and
37:40
Speaker 1: as the cops walking toward your car, you say to him, hey,
37:43
Speaker 1: you better bring the breathalyzer.
37:45
Speaker 3: Right because you know, no one says that. Let's pick
37:48
Speaker 3: up the pace here, right.
37:49
Speaker 6: Oh, this guy is super confident.
37:51
Speaker 3: Go ahead, dad, I'm not defending Tony Romo.
37:53
Speaker 8: But when she goes I'm gonna do this three times,
37:55
Speaker 8: you need to do it eighteen eighteen times, I'm like, oh,
37:58
Speaker 8: this is a little too much.
38:00
Speaker 3: Six maybe you know seven, but right, goshhizzy.
38:04
Speaker 4: I have two recurring nightmares.
38:06
Speaker 7: One of them is I'm about to play football game
38:09
Speaker 7: and I don't know the playbook. The second recurring nightmare
38:12
Speaker 7: is I get pulled over and a cop makes me
38:16
Speaker 7: recite the alphabet backwards and I couldn't do that in
38:20
Speaker 7: a clear state.
38:20
Speaker 3: I would do that so slow that you would think
38:22
Speaker 3: I was drugg.
38:23
Speaker 6: It's a tricky bridge to the breathalyzers.
38:25
Speaker 4: That's it.
38:26
Speaker 3: It's unnecessary.
38:27
Speaker 6: They literally want you to stumble into the breathalyzer.
38:29
Speaker 3: I almost asked for breathalyzer one time. The furthest any
38:32
Speaker 3: cop has ever gone with me is they've shone their
38:33
Speaker 3: light in my eyes at some point when they pulled
38:35
Speaker 3: me over, and I was like, am I good?
38:37
Speaker 10: All right?
38:37
Speaker 3: I'm out here?
38:38
Speaker 6: Is it just me?
38:40
Speaker 1: Or do the people who feel the need to jog
38:42
Speaker 1: in place on the street corner because the light is green.
38:48
Speaker 3: That's me.
38:49
Speaker 6: Are they annoying?
38:50
Speaker 1: Hey, we get it. You're jogging. You can't stop, not
38:53
Speaker 1: even for a light. You have to jog in place
38:55
Speaker 1: just to show it me. Hey, I'm still jogging. I
38:57
Speaker 1: never stopped jogging. Why I'm a jogger and I always
39:00
Speaker 1: jogg Get over yourselves.
39:02
Speaker 3: Stop jogging for a second, is he?
39:04
Speaker 4: You didn't have to tell us that was you. We
39:07
Speaker 4: know that's you.
39:08
Speaker 6: The reason you said I was talking directly into your soul.
39:11
Speaker 3: The reason you don't stop is because once you stop,
39:13
Speaker 3: it changes everything. I've got to keep going. If I stop,
39:16
Speaker 3: I get comfortable. It's like, man, I don't want to
39:18
Speaker 3: start up again. You just got to keep the same pace.
39:20
Speaker 6: Get over yourself.
39:21
Speaker 3: I will not Jake's story Alley Neggs.
39:25
Speaker 1: We will get to the one hundred greatest baseball Players
39:28
Speaker 1: of all time, the one hundred greatest dot com. It's
39:30
Speaker 1: the top one hundred baseball players of all time according
39:33
Speaker 1: to a guy named Jake. But before during the break
39:36
Speaker 1: here is he had some odd tennis takes that I
39:39
Speaker 1: wanted him to share with the audience.
39:41
Speaker 3: If you don't mind, now, I have to trash Taylor Fritz.
39:44
Speaker 3: It's okay. So Taylor is very good at coming up
39:48
Speaker 3: with names that connote such and such, and so when
39:51
Speaker 3: I said this might have been a freebie for him,
39:53
Speaker 3: when I said things were on the Fritz, and he
39:55
Speaker 3: said Taylor Fritz, and then he said athletes that cannote dysfunction,
39:58
Speaker 3: and he hit us with Jordan Star, which was great.
40:01
Speaker 3: It made me think of how much it's not that
40:04
Speaker 3: I dislike Taylor Fritz specifically.
40:07
Speaker 6: Well, it seems like you do.
40:08
Speaker 3: It's just what he represents in terms of American male tennis.
40:11
Speaker 3: It's like when I grew up, I used to like
40:13
Speaker 3: skip school to watch Andre Agassi or maybe Pete Sampers
40:17
Speaker 3: every once in a while, and you know, a lot
40:19
Speaker 3: of times those guys cashed in. I was not a
40:22
Speaker 3: Courier fan, but he won some majors as well. And
40:25
Speaker 3: ever since then, we got the one from Andy Roddick
40:27
Speaker 3: in the US Open, and it's just been a bunch
40:29
Speaker 3: of disappointing dudes. And that's all that Taylor Fritz continues
40:32
Speaker 3: to disappoint And it's just like, Okay, what he represents
40:35
Speaker 3: I don't.
40:35
Speaker 4: Like he looks like a country club.
40:37
Speaker 3: Well he does. He has put it on the poll.
40:39
Speaker 3: Just Taylor Fritz look like a country club like Ben
40:41
Speaker 3: Shelton wins something.
40:42
Speaker 1: Please please, So what you're saying is good but not
40:45
Speaker 1: good enough?
40:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like, look, I get it, you're in the
40:48
Speaker 3: wrong area. You're in the Aero Fed and the doll
40:50
Speaker 3: and Joker and now sinners up there with an alcaaz.
40:53
Speaker 3: But be one of those guys. How about we develop
40:56
Speaker 3: an alcaaz here in the US.
40:58
Speaker 6: I mean, those guys are great, is it?
40:59
Speaker 3: Ave? Is he skipped school to watch agacy or samprs.
41:04
Speaker 1: Skipping school for opening day is one thing, I mean,
41:07
Speaker 1: But to watch a tennis match.
41:09
Speaker 3: It really only happened during the French Open because I
41:11
Speaker 3: think it's the only one that lined up with Hey,
41:13
Speaker 3: these matches are happening in the day here Eastern Standard time,
41:16
Speaker 3: and they're big ones.
41:19
Speaker 10: I have never cared about a sporting event enough to skip.
41:21
Speaker 9: School, really, wow, I mean out other than going to
41:26
Speaker 9: opening day.
41:26
Speaker 3: No NCAA tournament that didn't make you want to skip
41:28
Speaker 3: school a little bit? Come on?
41:31
Speaker 1: Not a tennis match though, I mean really that's just
41:34
Speaker 1: the point was.
41:34
Speaker 3: I just didn't need to go to school that offen
41:36
Speaker 3: It was just kind of an annoyance.
41:37
Speaker 6: Have you seen the Nadal documentary? Have it not?
41:41
Speaker 3: Do they address why he doesn't work out his right arm?
41:44
Speaker 6: No? No, no, then, Raa, I got you, man.
41:48
Speaker 4: You were hurts.
41:49
Speaker 6: We get it, you were in pain, your foot hurt.
41:52
Speaker 3: I got it, I got you, I got it.
41:55
Speaker 6: That's the entire movie.
41:56
Speaker 1: The whole thing is Rafael the doll and his foot
41:59
Speaker 1: not being able to fit into a sneaker.
42:01
Speaker 4: I mean yeah.
42:03
Speaker 3: Most of the times when I see like the subject
42:06
Speaker 3: of a documentary, and if it's an athlete, I'm like,
42:09
Speaker 3: do I think they have a really interesting story? No,
42:12
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna watch that one.
42:14
Speaker 1: I mean, Ravas is interesting. He played an entire career
42:17
Speaker 1: through pain. But we got it right.
42:20
Speaker 3: You know how many people play through pain?
42:21
Speaker 10: Yeah?
42:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd like to bring that game back.
42:24
Speaker 4: I got you. I got you from Mark Cockman Staple.
42:27
Speaker 1: Hey, Rafa, I got you. You're hurt, you're injured, you're
42:31
Speaker 1: not feeling good.
42:32
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
42:33
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's get to this list of the one hundred
42:35
Speaker 1: greatest baseball players.
42:36
Speaker 6: Thank you for sharing your tennis takes with us.
42:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, no problem. Thanks for pushing at me.
42:40
Speaker 1: It was a private conversation he didn't want to blast
42:43
Speaker 1: Tailor friends. He does look like a country club, there's
42:46
Speaker 1: no question about it. We left off at number fifty eight,
42:49
Speaker 1: trist Speaker, I would like to mow through as many
42:51
Speaker 1: of these names as possible because I'm tired of this
42:53
Speaker 1: damn list.
42:54
Speaker 4: Your boat you muted.
42:58
Speaker 10: I was gonna say, yeah, you don't love this list.
43:00
Speaker 3: I don't love it.
43:02
Speaker 6: I don't know what's good.
43:03
Speaker 3: I don't like it.
43:04
Speaker 6: Tony Gwynn at eighty something is unfair. It's just wrong.
43:07
Speaker 3: It's exciting from us.
43:10
Speaker 1: Why come on with us when we're promoting his website
43:13
Speaker 1: every single day?
43:14
Speaker 6: All right?
43:15
Speaker 1: So fifty seven, Mikey fifty eight again, was Tris Speaker
43:18
Speaker 1: a great player back in the forties. I think you've
43:20
Speaker 1: been earlier, No earlier than that, realiens, Okay, sorry.
43:26
Speaker 9: Number fifty seven our third active player Freddy Freeman.
43:32
Speaker 3: Really, man, Taylor, you put him on this level because
43:35
Speaker 3: I know he's won a lot and he's done some stuff,
43:37
Speaker 3: But like, for some reason, I don't consider him on
43:39
Speaker 3: this level.
43:40
Speaker 7: I think Freddy Freeman has earned his place on this level,
43:43
Speaker 7: especially with this recent Dodgers run. But Vlad Guerrero was
43:47
Speaker 7: below Freddy Freeman, and my gut tells me Vlad Guerrero
43:53
Speaker 7: in his prime was better than Freddy Freeman.
43:55
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, your gut is one hundred.
43:56
Speaker 1: Well, your gut doesn't need to tell you that I
43:58
Speaker 1: saw him both in their primes. I sound old when
44:00
Speaker 1: I say that of Vlad.
44:01
Speaker 4: Guerrero was better.
44:02
Speaker 6: It's why I don't like this list. Number fifty six.
44:04
Speaker 3: Before you go there, You know what I think of
44:06
Speaker 3: when I when I think of Freddy Freeman, immediately fake teeth.
44:09
Speaker 3: That guy's got the fakest teeth I've ever seen in
44:11
Speaker 3: my life.
44:13
Speaker 1: The F and Freddy stands for fake teeth. How about
44:15
Speaker 1: that number fifty six?
44:18
Speaker 9: Oh Jake, I had such high hopes for you, and
44:21
Speaker 9: now I'm very disappointed you.
44:22
Speaker 10: Picked the list fifty six. I understand number fifty six.
44:26
Speaker 9: Anybody want to take a guess, fifty six being the
44:29
Speaker 9: key number there?
44:30
Speaker 6: So who's the best fifty six?
44:32
Speaker 1: Joe Demagio, Joe DiMaggio, number fifty six, Well, it should
44:36
Speaker 1: be top fifty six game hitting streak, right, yeah, he
44:39
Speaker 1: should probably be in the top ten.
44:40
Speaker 10: No, probably, Yes.
44:43
Speaker 3: You know what that used to be a number that
44:45
Speaker 3: I knew right off the top of my head. I
44:47

44:49
Speaker 3: a minute. I was like, wait, what what did he wear?
44:51
Speaker 3: Number fifty six? And I was like, oh, yeah, the
44:53
Speaker 3: hitting streak. It's almost like if they didn't make that
44:55
Speaker 3: movie sixty one by now we'd forget that that was
44:58
Speaker 3: the home the big home run number so long.
45:00

45:02
Speaker 7: putting here at at fifty six. Not cute Jodanmaggio last
45:06
Speaker 7: three years to military service. How much higher on this

Speaker 7: the forties for a World War.
45:13
Speaker 6: I want the top one hundred.
