  Speaker 1: Birk is with us here. He is tired of talking
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: about the Knicks. I am convinced he's not coming in

• 1:05
  Speaker 1: excited you're here. I've never had you here with me
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to lead with tennis. This is very exciting. For those
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of you who don't know, ad Nan is a part
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of a special group.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I believe it's hashtag team fed You bring it up.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: It's so great because there's a new audience out there.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: It's like when Joe Demija one time, somebody asked him, Joe,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: why do you work so hard?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Why do you play a story?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: He goes, there might be one fan out there has
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: never seen me before. There's one listener out there right
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: now who has no idea what Stercott's is about to explain.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: He is part of a Roger Federer fan club. It
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: is him and Andrew Brandt. I'm not certain who else
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is in the club. I think it's some guy he
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: plays tennis with every Thursday. Yeah, Kleinberg.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: That guy.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: They cried at Rogers retirement ceremony. They dressed up in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Rogers clothes tennis clothes when he retired for every match.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: They love Roger Federer and they are hanging on to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: him being considered the greatest tennis player of all time,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: even though Novak Djokovic by many is considered to be
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the greatest in terms of majors. He is two ahead
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of Roger or four ahead now of Roger Federer. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the reason what happened to Cinner today is concerning for
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Adnin is twofold one. Adnan wants to see the best
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: tennis players play as far as they can, as deep
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: as they can into a tournament, especially in the majors.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: He wants to see the best versus the best.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And Sinner, who is a point away, lost today in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: five sets, and that breaks Adnan's heart. But when you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: consider that Center is now out, Alcarez never started, he
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: never played, He wasn't playing in this French Open. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: now the path is clear for Novak Djokovic to tack
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: on another major here, an unexpected major. It will be
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: his twenty fifth and the argument for Adnin for Roger
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Federer being the greatest tennis player of all time is
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: becoming increasingly difficult.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: He nailed it the end, You guys just nailed my
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: exact light.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I'm like, all I care about is, he said, is
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: seeing the best perform as the best. And I said
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to myself, as long as Sinner and Alcoraz play Djokovic
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: will never win a major. And even he himself has
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: conceded that he recognizes that, Like, no, those guys are
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: too good. They're younger than me, They're better than me
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: on every surface. Yes, Alcaraz and Centner are better. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: what happened today Once Alkaraz was out within Drago okay,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: So I could see a Sinner Djokovic final.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: But he's not going to beat Sinner like this. Just
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: this guy younger, he's better, he's faster.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: And then I went to go play my tennis match
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: today with my friend Todd Werwa. I show put the corn,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I'm stretched up my handies and he goes, hey, Sinner lost.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I go what I was aghast? I turned white.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I raced to my phone in the seventy degree weather
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: here in New Jersey, and I go this.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: This was the paragraph.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: After leading five to one in the third set and
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: potentially a minute away from the locker room, Sinner sensationally
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: lost eighteen points in a row to trail oh forty.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Serving for the match a second time at five four,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: bent Ober on the court and walked to his chair.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Later on, you know, he said it was exhaustion, was
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: resorting to drop shots, serve and baldy tactics. I was
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: down three to one today, Yeah, and I came to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: beat my friend Todd seven to five, and I felt victorious.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And I did so in seventy eight degree weather today.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I checked the weather there in France, eighty four degrees.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: How can Yoni Center not to handle eighty four degrees?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And even Iam Silafford said, what.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Wasn't that hot?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I just woke up this morning, didn't feel very well,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: tried to keep the points short. Stu, I'm not sure
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: if I could find a better adjective than sensationally lost
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: eighteen point heart creakingly lost eighteen points, agonizingly lost eighteen points.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Think about that eighteen points. Yes, if I sit eighteen
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: oh one in basketball, you know that happens. How about
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: eighteen straight buckets in basketball? Imagine a thirty six zero run.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: That's what this is like. It is incredible. He was
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: a point away. Yes, I mean disbelief by it. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: know so, ad Nan.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at the pre match odds just to get
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: some kind of sense for how big a favorite Sinner
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: was in this match.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Jesus, imagine you laid money on Sinner today.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, Sinner was minus fifty thousand on sports books,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: meaning you would have had to bet five hundred dollars
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: to get back one dollar if.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Someone did it. I mean they did, absolutely some sick
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: person out there. Gauzaze.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Honest, Sinner, you kidding pravle to favorite. I was a
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: friend mad Dog. Mad Dog was like, this guy is
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the biggest favorite ever to tournament. He said this two
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: days ago, and I wanted to call and go hang.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Rafa at the French Open was unbeatable. There's never been
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: a tennis player who is more suited to a surface
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: than Roff. Of course, you and I both know Wimbledon
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: is the most important one and Federer has the most
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Wimbledon titles at eight choke, which one behind Roger.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Right, those are your rules, not mine. I never said that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's why I tried to include you. It
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: is a very stut gott. I never agreed to this,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: and we don't know.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: You know it's teen fed I know I got, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: the fact that Rafa was like fifty eight due at
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: the French ch Open, like nobody could beat him but Center,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: in Mad Dog's words, a fellow tennis officionado. Because there's
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: never been guy dominating a service like this. For him
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: to lose, I mean, I thought he would say the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: odds for five thousand, tailor would say fifty thousands is absurd.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I want to talk more though about Team FED because
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I texted my agent the other day he turned forty,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: and I said, whatever CAA can do with this?
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Quite frankly, you need to do this now. It's for me,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: it's for Brand, it's for Steve Weissman, it's for Carolyn
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Cameron if you have the Team FED people. But you're right,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Me and Brand are the charter members. Weisman's going to
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: make me laugh every time.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, So as fedheads know, as we refer to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: ourselves heads.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: He's being inducted in the Hall of Fame this year
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: August twenty nine, twenty twenty six, on the historic Horseshoe
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Court in Newport, Rhode Island. So I said to my
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: age and I go, any of this with it. You
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: can help with the induction. Weekend goes three days. Celebrity
• 6:43

• 6:46

  Speaker 3: Induction watch Party August twenty nine, fans can attend the
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: red carpet pre show and watch the official induction ceremony

  Speaker 3: live on a massive screen. And then this is the one,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the Roger Federer Hologram alongside his induction, The Hall of
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Fame's multimillion dollar museum renovation features an immersive hologram experience
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: honoring his legacy. So I don't need to be a
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: part of the hologram because I'm like, Okay, that just
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: sounds like a Disney trip, Like it's.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: A little creepy. Roger Feeder's a hologram. Really.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: The watch party is like, well, is it like going
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: to Madison Square Gardeners like being outside of Madison Square
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Garden watching the nixt play of the game. The one
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: really is the celebrity pro classic. But this is when
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you're there at Tahoe on the course and you're hanging
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: out with Joe Buck. I've got to get on the
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: grass court with Federal needs that happen somehow, and then
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: you're going to see that picture be accosting him smelling
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: his underwear, and then that's gonna go viral.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Roger Federer attacks my craze Dad m B.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, I have to be honest. If you did sniff
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: his underwear and should go viral, that's on you. It's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not on the internet. I mean when people see this
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: guy's a jock sniffer.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I'm like, if it comes to Roger Federer, guiltiest charge
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: anybody else? I think it's disgusting and sick. Rodger Federick,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: would you swiff his jocke? I'm like, that's like a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: usual Tuesday for me, Like, go ahead, I.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Snipping Roger's underwear? Like, no problem, Yeah, why you got it?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Mikey A you surprised that once he learned the news
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: about Sinner and it's it's laugh out loud funny that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Sinner morphed into old man tennis guy because I hate
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that guy. But are you surprised that ad Nan continued
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: with his match? I thought he would quit. I thought
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it would never.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Start, just because you heard the news and he was
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: in mourning.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, right, I was so downcassed when I saw
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I go, this is the worst possible sentre because it's
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: like when you realize you're already fighting a losing argument.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Because right now someone says, how could you argue Federer's
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: breath th and Djokovic, I'm like, how much time do
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: you have jo five years?
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: First of our joke, which is five years younger.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: They were not playing at the same age, right, so
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you can't say apples being orange is like they're not
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Roger Federer's five years older. For years, Roger was better
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: head to head until they got older in his career.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: And then joke, which is taking advantage of the fact
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: he's being an old man. Roger's thirty eight years old
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: winding it out of the Gaza Open, And this is
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: a big one. If you're only at equating it to majors,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: well then yeah, Federer is the best. But that's like
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: saying in any sport, like, as you know, they didn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: always look at Majors as the b all end all
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: of tennis, right, if so other guys would be better, right,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, you ask anybody who has followed tennis and
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: they will tell you how majors was not the b
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: all end all until this generation. Like if I tell
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Andre Agassi only has five majors, like what I thought
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he was the greatest players of all tomic he is.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: It's just they didn't really focus on majors. Before that,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: it was atp titles, World of one, ranking, etc. So
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: my point is Rod Laver, that you ask a lot
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: of tennis people, they'd say he's the top four tennis
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: player of all time. Rod Labor has eleven majors, Like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: he's not in the top five of all time. But
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, but you ask people about his sustained play excellent.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Bjorn Borg another great example, retired prematurely doesn't have the
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: most majors. So someone says, joke, fitz is twenty four,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Roger is twenty end of argument. That is not the
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: only way of qualifying who is the best? Ever by
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: just focusing on majors, is it a major argument?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Of course it is.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Should you win the most majors? Yeah, but Roger's twenty
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and no backs twenty four. It's still within the same
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: realm of possibility and discussion. However, to Stew's point, if
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Djokovic wins the French and then god forbid, wins the Wimbledon, ye,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: when it's twenty six twenty, then my argument becomes a
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: little bit more flimsy.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So at twenty six, that's when that's when you'll cave
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in that's it. It will take twenty six, not this one.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You've heard nothing. You've already advanced at one past this
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: one because you have a good feeling. Djokovic is gonna
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: win this said. Now you're making it too. We needs
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: two more? Now, is that what you're doing?
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: This?
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Stu Gods is strong and you I'm proud of you.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I'm just changing the rules and you can pet your
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: bottom dollar. If if Joe somehow wins the you know what,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: you gotta win three more.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: You got it within me. By if you can win
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: major to the single, You're at the age of thirty seven,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: then I'll give it to you.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: You think they'll give you just keeps pushing the bar.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So you said, if you ask anyone, Well, we did
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: ask anyone. We asked Ai Colin Cowherd courtesy of Fox
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Sports the App.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: We asked him as Mount Rushmore of tennis.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, Colin, My Mount Rushmore is Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal,
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Roger Federer, and Pete Sampras. Four different styles, four different eras,
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: all with that same killer gene. Djokovic is the metronome,
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Nadal is the sledgehammer, Federer is the artist. Sampras is
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: the cold blooded closer. That's the sports modern spine right there.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: He's good, Ai Coward, I mean, he's quick, he's to
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the point, he's got good analogies. Roger is an artist
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: now that we can agree. Roger is the artist of
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the bunch. I have a follow up for Ai Colin
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and this is gonna be man. I hope he gives
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: us the answer that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: We want, Ai Colin. Who is the greatest tennis player
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of all time?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Novak Djokovic.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: You've got twenty four Majors, ten.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Australian opens, and you're still out there at thirty eight,
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: chasing history.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: That's the standard. Federer was the elegance.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Nadal was the force, but Djokovic is the most complete
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: problem tennis has ever had to solve.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, he's gonna argue with Ai Colin. Go ahead,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: this is an absurd argument. I'll think again.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: He is not looking at the guys are playing all
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the same time. It was a different era of tennis.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: By the way, Roger had to contend with greater competition.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: He's had to deal with Djokovic and Nadal. Those guys
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: have not based the competition. Roger is faced now they're
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: getting it because Jokers has to face Alchoriz the center,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: but now he's been gifted this possibility of center Wiltick
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: and heat sensationally losing eighteen straight points.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: The Alci's not playing.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Roger had to play these younger bucks when they were
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: at their fittest.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: That this is this is not putting. He's just looking
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: at the numbers. A stupid AI column. Damn you AI columns.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: We need to get Martin. You need to get Marty
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: fish on.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: You got free of the program. Get Marty fish on.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Will Marty all these guys Marty will settle it for us?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, we will will try to get Marty on, although
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I want to leave the last word with Ai Colin
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: because it's more fun. Eight seven and Ai Marty Fish,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean Taylor look into that and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: if there is, get him on the show. We'll take
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a quick time out. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know how we discussed what we discussed, and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the call on the board is about more Cuban, but.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: That's where we're at.

  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Why are you throwing your hands up at me, Mikeya,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: because I should have seen it coming apologize to him.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: And that's I'm mad at myself right right for not knowing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: It's on you. It's not on me.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna change and why should I. It's worked
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: here we are Adnan Burk is with us as he
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is out. He's tired of the Knicks, and we'll get
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to the Knicks in just a second.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Taylor thinks, I feel bad, I really do for Canada.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: South Florida stole hockey from him. Now that Carolinas. It's unbelievable.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Montreal is gonna lose to the Carolina Hurricanes. Taylor thinks
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: this is interesting, and Nan Taylor thinks that Montreal, they know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: showed essentially, and I.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Can't say I disagree with them. They've been a no
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: show here. It has been stunning.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: So this is the frustration of being a sports fan,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: because you know, you and I cover it so abbably.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: You think, after decades of this we figure it out.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: And I said to you Joannick Center, primitive favorite, French
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: open and the stiff loses today. And I said to
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: you it it came to the hockey. The Avalanche were
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: going to rule the Golden Knights. They were the best
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: team in hockey all season long. And if you said
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: to me, one team's gonna sweep, like yeah, Colorado instead.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Game one, the whole Russ versus rest Okay, Vegas was sharp.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Colorado was rusty. It happens.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Game two, you lose, you can, I have my attention.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Game three Colorado was a three nothing and they gagged.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: They copped it up a three nothing lead and they
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: lose five to three. And then Game four was a
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: feed of company. See okay, Well, maybe this bizarre rule
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: will continue. Maybe Montreal Carolina Montreal can sweep, but no,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Carolina has been absolutely stuffocating the shot disparities at least
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: two to one, if not three to one. And the
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Bell Center there's no better place to watch a hockey game.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: And by the way, for all the media covering the
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Cup finals too, this could have been an all time
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Night Life Stanley Cup Final.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Montreal Vegas. Wow, there are a lot of bags.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Outder the eyes of every single media member form in
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Vegas bottle service four a m ooh la la at
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the Canadian Ballet in one. I mean it would have
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: been if you were a media member like this is.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: This is a golden ticket, Vegas give me this every year.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: This is single handy making up for you know, Florida
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Edmonton in the flights going from north of Alberta all
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the way to South Florida.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: But Montreal has gagged.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: It's been an awful performance by them, the fact they
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: lost both their games at home.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: You're right, no show.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I wish I knew a little more French. But whatever
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: you say, no show. It's been awful for them and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: they'll probably gonna lose this series.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: In five.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It's brutal Carolina Vegas Stanley Cup Final. I'm not sure
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: that what's the appetite of the casual sports fan.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and poor Sean McDonogh could be stuck in Raleigh.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Taylor, I mean, and then, uh.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: You mentioned the shot disparity, and the Hurricanes have outshot
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: the Canadians by sixty four the past three games. It's
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: an average of twenty one point three the past three games.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: I consider myself a puck casual as a Ranger fan,
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I get up if the Rangers make the playoffs, I
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: tune in here and there the Canadians, though, it doesn't
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: seem like that great of a strategy to just get
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: peppered all game.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: This is like in the NFL when you get like
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: out time of possession is like forty four minutes for
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: one team and the team with sixteen minutes, and yet
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the team that only had the ball for sixteen minutes
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: somehow only lost by field goaling, Like, oh, they're right
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: in it, like where they though, I'm like the other
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: team was pounding it. They had the rock, they had
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy two rushing yards, they had time
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: of position forty four minutes, but they hung in there.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: That's what is like. Watch this Montreal Kadence team, like.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: They they get the puck and they try to get
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: in the Carolina zone and immediately give it up, like
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: there's zero four check and there's zero puck position that Carolina.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Has the buck and they hog it. It's almost if
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: the ice is tilted.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Two thirds of the time Carolina has the ice and
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: that's where there's that shot to spread. This isn't one
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of those that you go, well, the statistics are kind
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: of lying, or you have to watch the game, like, oh,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: you could just check the boxer and go, looks that
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Carolina is dominating.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: That would be accurate.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Freddie Anderson shut out yep, but chol didn't take many shots.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Yep, Carolina is significantly better.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Uh huh.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: This series probably done in five Yes, yes, and yes.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: And in that other series that Vegas made quick work of.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Vegas was under five hundred in the regular season. They
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: won thirty nine games. They lost forty three, including overtime losses.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Last time a towards The last time a team finished
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: under five hundred and made the Stanley Cup was the
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Minnesota North Stars in nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one with
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: special team with Dave Ganya as their leading goal scoring team. Yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: the Golden Knights are nineteen and four since Tortorella took over.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Would you consider the Vegas Golden Knights fans the most
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: spoiled fan base in all of sports where this is
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: their third Stanley Cup Finals appearance in their ninth year
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: as an organization.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, three and nine is absolutely absurd.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: You think about long suffering fans, as you mentioned, you
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: yourself for a Rangers fan, not somebody went ninety four,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: which ended that fifty four year Cup jured. I see
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: this is a Flyers fan. Flyers have not won since
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five. The Vegas gold Knights show up. The
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: city from which I hail, Toronto has not won a
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Cup since nineteen sixty seven, and these Vegas Golden Knights,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: these posers show up with their four am model service
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: and their little theatrics and what the hell is a
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Golden Knight?
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: And they just draft a bunch of guys.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: All will take Mark Stone, We'll get Jack Echo, well
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: sign Mitch Martin will fleece him from the may p leaves.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Huh. Three Cup finals in nine seasons, pretty easy. I
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: guess we figured this thing out.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable how spoiled that fan base is and what
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: a job they've done.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: And like stew so it comes into one word torts.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: This guy was hanging out with Steve Levy doing ESPN intermission.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: All of a sudden he hikes a job. No one's
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: expecting much. This was a desperation move. To be clear,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Bruce Cast had worn out the room. He was really
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: tough on the guys. We'll give towrts a shot. He
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: was not signed beyond this season. The contract was eight
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: regular season games. He's a freelancer.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: It's pay as you go. He's doing what I'm doing today,
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: like Torts to see how you do. Maybe we'll have
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: you back. Instead, they go on a run the Stanley
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Cup final. He still may not come back to season.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Then I win the Cup and go, you know what,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I miss leaves. I want to go back Connecticut. It's
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Torts and PK, Sue Ban and Steve Levy.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: The big question remains not whether or not the Vegas
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: gold Knights can win the Stanley Cup.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: If they win the stand he's back. I thought we
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: lost him. I gotta tell you, if Towards wins the Cup,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he should just go out on top. I mean, how
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: could you do it any better than that?
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I mean if you win at least once, it's like
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: any sport you have so much credibilion, smart, stay in power.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: So Harbaugh Don Harbaugh wins won Super Bowl of the Ravens,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: and then it's a lot of media ocrity disappointed by
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: oh Superowl winner.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Torrella won way back in two thousand and four.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Twenty years he's been coasting off being a Stanley Cup
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: champion with the old fort Lightning. He has crashed and
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: burned at multiple spots and cooling the flyers, and then
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: he gets resuscitated at ESPN.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: And it isn't like.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Talking to the media. By the way, when he's a coach,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I love that. When the guy is a member of
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the media, is tough to deal with.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: But then he works for the media. It doesn't make
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: any sense. But there's Torts working out and apparently the
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: guys do love him.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: He motivates them. Well, upbeat guy. So congrats to John Torro.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Certain he's done a great job with his Bacon Golden
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Knights team. But yes, and answered to question Taylor, a
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: very spoiled fan base in Vegas and are really criminally
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: underappreciated when in Colorado that team should have won like
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: this is absolutely egg on their faces. Presidents Trophy winner,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the best team in hockey and you got swept by Vegas.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: At one more point, he mentioned the sub five hundred
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I have often said this, if I was a commissioner
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: of sports, any sport, if you're under five hundred, you
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: don't get to be in the playoffs.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I like it. I would watch take. I would see
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: the Chargers go seven to nine and win the division.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: You don't get to play now average if you can't
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: be we just played a sixteen game regular season.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: If you can't be averaged, you don't get to play
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: If you look right now at the American League West standings,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: the Mariners are in first place.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: The Mirrors have more losses than wins. They have played
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: sixty games. We're gonna play one hundred and two more games.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: If you lose more games than win, you don't get
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: to be a part of the playoffs. The Vegas Gold
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: of Knights were a sub five hundred team for much
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: of this postseason, and then you get hot for two
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: weeks and you win the Stanley Cup.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Ridiculous, especially when a team who's thirty games above five
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: hundred doesn't get into the postseason because we have to
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: put that team in who's below five hundred. I mean,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: it's insanity. It's such a great take by you, It
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: is such a good take. But if you're the Vegas Knights,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and yes they are a spoiled fan base, there's no
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: question about it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: They've had it good.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're looking for where hockey
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: is thriving. It's thriving in states they don't have a
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: state tax.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, I mean it just is very simple to figure out.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I was supplicimpy.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Why is it that all the best players are going to, like,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: you know, Florida, Dallas and Vegas.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, I think I figured it out.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I think there's make multi millions and they want to
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: save every freaking penny.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, so guess what. They're not going to play in Canada.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: They're not going to play in New York State.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: They're not going to play in those place where they
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: get tax and where the fans really care. I can
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: just go, hang on Vegas, it's one hundred and twenty degrees,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: bikini flad ladies. I'll go to you know, make millions
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: of those state tax. Who's saying no to this?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get to think about it Thursday. In just
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: a second here adding in is new to the game,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: we'll explain it to him in just a second. But
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: since we're on hockey, here your thoughts on one of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the all time greats who passed away suddenly today, Claude Lemieux.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Sorry about that, Yeah, sixty years of age Claude Lmieu
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: was one of the great pests. You know, if you
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: think about in sports, guys who we get under your skin,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: and maybe Draymond to think of the NBA, like Claude
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Tomie was that guy. He put him in and he
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: was such a great player at antagonizing the opposition. Now
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: a good goalscorer in his own right and certainly very talented,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: but I just think of the way he was so
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: good at getting under the skin of other guys. A
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: player who you would say, you know, if he's on
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: your team, you hate it. If IF's on your team,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: you love me. He's on the team, you hate him.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: And for him to Ludes, I mean, this is this
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: is stunning to see. I mean, this is a guy
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: right now or focused so much on Montreal and the
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: games being the Stenn Cup final. Claude Mie is sixty
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: years of age, and I mean and he won in
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: a ton of places. He was born in Quebec. He
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: was selected by the ABS, but great with the Devils.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Great with the Abs, played in Phoenix, Dallas, San Jose
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: along with the Montreal Canadians. One of the all time
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: great playoff performers in the playoffs a point sixty eight
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: career points per game in two and thirty four games.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: So this is a guy who was a good player.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: In the playoffs game he was awesome and again four
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: time Stanley Cup champion, just sixty years of age. Very
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: sad news at Claude Lemut no longer with us, even
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: the recap says was one of the NHL's most antagonistic players,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: known for getting under the skin of other teams star players.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: His play would frequently cross the.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Line of legality, as Lemieux earned one thousand, seven hundred
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: and seventy seven pelliaments in his career, as well as
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the ire of opposing fans. Famously, he crossed checked Chris
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Draper game six the Western Conference Finals. He was a
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: great villain and a heck of a player. Very sad news,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Clouding Meal hockey player, Dan hockey player. Yes, that's all
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: you need to say. It's like when someone says it's
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: a goal scorers goal, but what does that mean. I'm like,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: it just means the guy's a hockey player.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: He knows what he's doing. He should be buried in
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: a penalty box. I mean he really should. I mean,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: what do you think? Huh? Maybe a little too soon,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: but I mean if you he'd be honored.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I tell you, if you told him that beforehand, he
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: would have been like, Yep, I'll do it, let's go.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: That's me, hockey player.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: You think of the great Gary Shandling, one of my
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: favorite comedians. You know how much I love the Larry
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Sanders Show. He said, I want to I want to die.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I want to open casket and I want a boxing
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: judge to be there. I want him to start counting one, two, three,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and well he gets to ako, he's not getting up.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: It's over.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, mikey a. I have to follow him every time
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: he does this. He shook his head too soon, Mike Ye,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: too soon?
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Right, too soon? Yeah, yeah, I met at myself again.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: It was I It was meant as a compliment. Anyway,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: let's get to think about it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Thursday, I was Sam, give me the image, you know
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: that segment talk about a Tuesday on Hawkman Crowder in Soleiro.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: This is like that, but bigger, bigger and better, better, better,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: And forty eight hours later, this is think about it Thursday.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: So and then I saw this question going around on
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: social media and I wanted to get everybody's take here.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: All right, hold on, Taylor, can I explain this to Nan?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: This is Taylor's quest.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: He is counter programming a local show down here in Miami,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the Mark Akman Show, which had Crowder and Slero. And
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know why he feels the need to counter
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: program this program this show, but they do talk about
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: it Tuesday, and Taylor came up with a think about
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: it Thursday. That's how we arrived here at Dan just
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: wanted you to know in the audience, do you like
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the backstory stick that Thursday?
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead, So and then the question this week
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: is what are the four major US cities? In your
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: guys mind? If you had to pick the four major
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: US cities, what would you pick?

  Speaker 4: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago. I just need a fourth,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: the clear big three.

  Speaker 5: I think we can all agree.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Those are the big three. Yes, Bley, I think, yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I think in terms of population, I believe Houston might
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: be fourth, which always surprises me a bit.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Philadelphia's a city. I loves. Philly.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I think is six or seven. I'll go New York, LA,

  Speaker 3: Chicago because I needed Texas.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'll go with Dallas. I'll go Dallas. So

• 25:49
  Speaker 4: your fourth, all right, yeah, tell das So.

• 25:55
  Speaker 5: feel like California can't get two representations in this top four.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Right, it's a big state. I mean, San fran is
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: certainly in consideration.

  Speaker 1: I mean I'll defend I'll defend Miami by saying too
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cups and a bunch of NBA titles and the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: only undefeated team in the history of the NFL, I mean,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and the greatest college football program probably in the history
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: of college football.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: So I don't remember being a sports question.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of teams under five hundred making
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, good luck when college football trots out number
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: twenty two versus number three in the playoffs.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, that is going to be an absolute sight
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: to see.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: The most effensive to me I gotta be is the
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: NBA playing I would text outam me and my dear
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: friend the voice of the Balls.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, you guys are eight games under five hundred. What
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: a joke that you're gonna make the playoffs?
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Well, it's to play it. It's an absolute atrocity. You
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: should have some integrity and just announce we're not going
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: to be in the playoffs. But what, it's not the playoffs,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: it's the plan. I don't care what it's called. Whatever
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: the second season is called. Imaginally imagine if you recuse yourself.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: You know what, guys, we lost more than we won.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: We don't deserve to be there. I would have so
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: much respect for that team merely be my favorite sports scene.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: I'd love them forever.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Live Wheak Dacent three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Dusty Baker going to join us at about fifteen to
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes. That's a name that will put a smile
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: on your face, right, adding in, I mean.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Jeez, love Dusty Baker. Dusty Baker with a toothpick in
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: his mouth. That is the essence of baseball. He used
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: to be Down's Cragley round roe Ton face, but now
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: it's that Dusty Baker face. And I remember thinking, we
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: know when he was back in the game of the Astles. Ever,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Gonna hates the Ashes, but everyone loves Dusty Baker. And
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: interesting tidbit about Dusty Baker. When I interviewed him at
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the All Star Game, he told me Seattle's his favorite city.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: And I said, really, who's the Seattle's their favorite city?
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: He goes, No, I love it because the mountains meets
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: the water.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: That was a specific phrase Dusty Baker said, so huge
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: fan of it to the city of Seattle's north.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: And what's a more iconic pairing Ken Griffy Junior with
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: the backwards hat or Dusty Baker with the toothpick.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Wow, wow, question wow. I'm not certain it's not U. L.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Washington with a toothpick. I gotta be honest.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: That's why I think of other guys with the toothpick.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, Dusty is is pretty much a signature. But
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I Stue's right. You have watched and there's a few
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: toothpick guys along the way. I think it's Griffy in
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: the backwards hat. I mean, you had a generation of
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: people wearing backwards hats because of Kangriffire Jr.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure if Dusty started a toothpick revolution.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Odani threw six no hated innings. I'm starting to get
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: tired of him, mad Nan, I really am enough is enough?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: He wasn't satisfied with it. I mean Jesus Christ, and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you know, people talk about him as the greatest player
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: they've ever seen.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: I got news for you. He's not. How's that sound okay?
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: I mean he's just not.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: But I mean six scoreless sittings, he's gonna win the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: sow Young It's ridiculous.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy, dude. Generally, I'm not that guy.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: When people say you the greatest ever, I'm like, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: like settle down, like I go, like you I need
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: to see more than eight years of Major League baseball,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: say you're the greatest ever, Like there's a reason Wally
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Mays was a twenty time All Star, you know, babe
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: ruth As seven hundred and fourteen home runs, Heny Karon
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: seventy fifty five, the rest of it. But I will
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: say this, it is shocking when you say to yourself, like,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: what is the next feat he's going to do? Because
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: you're right, it's very easy to turn a blind eye
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: to him. Okay, whatever, six no hit innings, other home
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: run because nobody else is doing this and nobody will
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: ever do this again. And like you said, most people,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: if you ask him about the Dodgers of the season,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: it's like civil Dodters, like other probably like who cares
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: quick up in October? Right, So it's amazing that a
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: guy can pull off superhuman feats and everyone's kind of
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: bored by it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Like if I said Tani six scores home and he goes, Okay,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: what else you got for me?
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I've seen him through seven innings and hit three home
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: runs in a playoff game.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: That to me was more impressive. What's a big deal?
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: But I'm dealing this whole goat conversation I've said to people,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I go, listen, I think right now, if his career ended,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: he's a top ten player all time.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: They go, what that's it? And I go, I'm saying,
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: top ten in the history of one hundred and fifty
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: years of baseball.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I'm putting him ahead of like Stan Musual, He's ad
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Demontio Maddug would never speak to me again. I'm putting
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: behind like you know, Babe, Ruth, Barry Bonds, Hank Karon,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Willie Mays, A select few people right now now inevitively
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: can he be the best.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Evert Maybe if he's eight times VP, I suppose.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: But to your point, I do like the fact that
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: he's so single minded in his pursuit of the saw
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Young because it's like, all right, you've got the four MVPs,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: what's something you haven't done? The best of her song
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: finish he finished third and twenty twenty two. He's clearly
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: made it a focus and a mandate this year to
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: win a saw Young and my son, I'm telling I'm
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: telling you, he goes, yeah, but he's not going to MVP.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: I go to mean, he goes, he's not going to MVP.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: His offense is not he is gonna go Listen, he
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: was a fifty to fifty guy who this year is
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: on pace for thirty home runs. If he gets thirty
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: home runs to the sub one Eer, he will not
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: only win the sign, he will win the MVP again.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: How could you be more valuable? I mean, honestly, yeah,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I clip with the guy.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: He's ridiculous out there, and I kept thinking before they go, well,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: he won't pitch it up innings for a cy Young.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you want to bet He's now at the
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: point where he's like, well, I'm not sure if I'll
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: hit when I pitch, but if I do, I'll go yard.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I'm like, this guy is going to win a cy
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Young barring unforeseen circumstances.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: It's crazy and then a good a good case for
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: his cy Young or a good stat or trend for
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: his cy Young. This seat comes from Sarah Lang Shoheo.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Tani is the first pitcher with a home run and
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: no hits allowed in the first six innings of a
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: game since Jake Arietta in twenty fifteen. Twenty fifteen n
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: L cy Young.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Jake Arietta, Oh Wow, the Arietta year. Yes, yep, Jake
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Ariot was unbelievable that season.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Also noble for the fact he was in the ESPN
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: The Body Issue, which is always an interesting thing, like
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: you know, how much do you want to glorify? I
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: good to shape your man, Although our friend I'm in
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: for a Secutyers it was Is he not in the
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Eastpin The Body Issue or at least he had some.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Pictorial in which he was naked? Is that not accurate pictorial?
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: I think he was in a men's health magazine. I
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: think he was just ESPN The Body I don't know
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: more about this. Uh, yes, it was not that. You're right,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: it was a men's health magazine feature because he couldn't
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: hear it.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I remember Risillo. I remember was taken aback, but it
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: was like dude, well god he sh I'm like that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: And of course, you know, so there's the guys like
• 34:25

• 34:32
  Speaker 4: the guy's an ete pack. How could you not be
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: impressed by that?
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: You know what's his curling.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's so, I don't know how Rosillo complains about that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I know he's a second floor guy at the gym.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Mikey c told us that one second floor guys, they
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: take the gym very very seriously. But I got to
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: tell you, for the amount of time Risillo spends in
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the gym, you think he'd be in better shape.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: You think he'd need more chiseled You would, I mean
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Jesus well, he used to always say that there was
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: too much made of.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: The fact he was always at the gym, and how
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: many fights he'd been He goes like, I'm just tired
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: of talking about it. We get to commercial break and
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: I go, hey, just stooting out so many fights you've
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: been in and without batting an eyelash, twenty two? I like,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: you don't want to be known as that guy. You
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: don't want to be features a pugilist. You knew Emmelia
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: up top and the number was twenty two. How many
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: fights driving in zero? I've never been in a fight. Zero, okay.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I think once I threw a punch of the guy
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: and my friends like, what are you doing? And they
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: jumped in and saved me before I got my ass
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: kicked twenty two? How many fights are he went geez,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: the mean streets at Martha's Vineyard and then.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Boston for rhyme or silo. But yeah, he's what he
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: would do. I mean, maybe Mikey knows this about his
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: strategy as well.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: He would lift, but also have all his papers there
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: so he you know, he gets his lifting and he'd
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: be like highlighting stuff. He's gonna be the only guy
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: ever hurling at finching and then highlighting NBA box scores
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: and like information is gonna do the show that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's incredible multitasking.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: You will find this incredible to believe. But Mikey c
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: is also a second floor guy at the gym. He's
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the only guy.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, he smoked cigarettes in between in between reps. I mean,
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: it's unbelievable. He's not like he's getting in a dart.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: He's he's helping himself and he's healing himself and he's
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: killing himself like that.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: I like, I'm like, like you said, he's playing for
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: the time, Like I'm gonna enjoy this. I'm gonna live
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: my life to the fullest.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: I'll take something us. But Riscella, which was a great tip.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: He told me, I've been thinking about a lot recently.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: He had two gym memberships all the time, and I
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: said why, And he goes, if you go to one
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: gym all the time, it gets boring him monotonous, and
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: I must, says do Jersey Crunch fitness and been there's
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: six years, and I go, I just hate going to
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: the gym. Now it's the same stupid faces all the time.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: The Prolexa. I was like, you know, Risilla was onto something.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: If I had two gym membership at the same time,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I might just quit this gym and go somewhere else.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: But imagine Riscilla going, Oh, it's Wednesday, I have to
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: go to the gym in West Harford.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Oh it's Thursday.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: I'm going to the gym in Avon, Connecticut today, Like
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: he had a schedule.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: For the gym. It's crazy.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I tell you know what they say about guys who
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: have two gym memberships, right, you have none.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: That's why I've got two. I have gym members who
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: you have none?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Right and again again, two memberships and the amount of
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: time he spends there, you think he'd be in better shape.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, I say that lovingly. Even though he hates
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: me anyway, that's such You're still it definitely has love.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he does or not. I gotta
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. I took a shot at him once.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: He still hasn't gotten over it. I feel bad, really,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I feel terrible. Yes, I'm trying to mend fences lately. Man,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to repair my relationship with Michael Wilbon. I'm
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: trying to repair I am and I went a long
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: way over the weekend at Northwestern when he spoke to
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: my daughter for fifteen minutes after the game.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: So much so I think he's coming on this show tomorrow.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: How about it? Incredible? Yes, So, I mean, we don't
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: have to go out this as delicate terriactor. But what
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: was it that you offended him with? Like, I'm just
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: guessing what could it have been? I just think, Well,
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Michael and Dan are very close, right, they both are.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: They're great journalist. I respect Michael's work so much. I'm
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: a huge fan of his.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: But my role at ESPN was really to peel back
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the curtain on all of this crap. And I think
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I think Willbon wasn't happy there was a time where
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: he came on. I claimed he didn't want watch the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: game because we were talking about the game and it
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: was a game that I watch, and you don't say
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: that to Michael Wilbond, and I felt bad about it,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: but I explained to Michael that when you work with
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Lebtar and you're putting this ridiculous position to say stupid things,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: occasionally you get to piss someone off. I did it
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: to him and Mike to Rico, I'm trying to mend
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: those fences. That's all, okay.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: That's fascinating because I'm with you.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: I could see that when you're playing the role the
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: court jester or the joke is to what to animate,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: to entertain, and also to antagonize, like Dan Is literally
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: saying poke the bears to if you don't poke the bear,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: you have no rolling yours. Yes, you're supposed to piss
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: these guys off a little bit. So I totally get
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: that one. Tarico I just texted because I didn't realize
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: he just won the Emmy for Best play by Play.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Mike Turico has twice won the Emmy for Best Sports Host. Wow,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: this is his first Emmy win for Best play by Play.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: So this is a perfect time to text him. I'm
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: gonna give you.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: A stake to go. Hey, Mike Stegott's name told me
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: won the Emmy.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Just want to take congrats that that will help mend
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: the fences. You tell the guy who won an award,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: how can you all the grudge against you?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: No, you're right, So, but listen, slow down, because I
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm making progress. He did the commencement speech
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: at Syracuse. He and I have exchanged texts and we're
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: trying to work out a time where he comes on.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: The one where you could really help me, perhaps is
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: rich Eisen. Taylor came to me. So I once called
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: rich Eisen rich Lyizen and because I felt like he
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: was stealing my takes, and Taylor came up to me,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and so he has every right to be upset with me.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: He does, He really does. Oh I think the STU
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: it's a choker.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well you think I'd be that offended. I'm like, OK,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: he's just making fun of my name.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: It's okay, I know, but you don't take yourself as
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: seriously as some of some others in the sports media.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: And I understand why they do.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: They care about their reputation, and Rich is not a liar, okay,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and he's a great host. And Taylor came up to
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: me lake Tahoe right before Lake Tahoe last year and said,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: you know what, you and Rich Eisen should be good friends.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: You should be best friends. He's from New York, he's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: from Long Island, he's a Jets fan. He's Jewish, You're Jewish,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: and you know what, I saw Eisen and I tried
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: to repair that relationship and it didn't seem like he
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to go there. And so perhaps that's the one.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: You can help me, men, because I'm gonna see him
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: again in Lake Tahoe in like five or six wins.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: And I want to enjoy when he goes up there
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: on Karaoke night and does New York New York.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: It's outstanding, it really is. I want to enjoy it.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I love New York York.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: It's one of my favorite songs. Of course, who I
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: love Rich? Yes, yeah, And Rich is a great guy. Yeah,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: I know, I'll do what I can. You know, he's
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: really he's friendly with Ben Lines, and of course Ben
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Lines is living a life right now. The next the
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: NBA Finals, I filled in because Ben is filled in
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: for Rich on his radio show. And then I did
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: a show on Peacock four years ago Winter Olympics, which
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: previously had been hosted by Rich Eisen, so we then
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: had Rich on as a guest. But there's always, as
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: you know, there's always some sliding doors here. Okay, Rich Eyesen,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: I can I can at least talk to Ben first,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: who what's going on? And I try to get yes,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: that should happen, and we're we're still all take.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Care of tomorrow. I'll call him right now, but hey,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: what's do right?
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: I can't. Marisilla doesn't like you. I'm not trying to
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: beef with anyone in sports media. Man, I don't know
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: why everyone listen. I had a ridiculous role in ESPN.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry if I offended a few people. Was Lemontard's fault.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: And then I try to mend the Rich Eyesen fence too,
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: because I went up to Rich Eysen at Lake Tahoe
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: and I said, hey, Rich, the best thing you do
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: is have David Sampson as your co host or your
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: your guest host. You're filling when you're out, or you're filling,
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: because it makes everybody just missing even more.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the boy. Really love what he's gone.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, a great line, using Sampson's a punching back to
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: get in with Richardison.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: There's always a very way to do things. And so
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: now Misti goots and me.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: He wants to go back to ritualizing because he you know,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Ben Lyons, because he associates himself with Sampson.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: But the way you do it to is correct. Listen,
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: So you play the role of ste Gott's and then
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: privately you apologize and just make amends. Clarify. Hey, guys,
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: just so you know this is what I'm about.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, if they still don't like it, you try the
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: mind fences again with an intermediary. If they still don't menfences,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: then you go guns blazing from every show you get.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: You make fun of Richison every chance you go. That's it.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: I give this guy two chances. I'm going off, all right,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: But you are promising.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: You are promising here to help me out with Rosillo
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: and helped me out with Bridgeohnson. And I'm telling you
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: leave Rico Loan right now. I think I'm there. Okay,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I'm there.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: I think you should be Okay, a nice I'll let
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: you know if I need to go to the pen. Okay,
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: that's the one to know. Last one, how did you
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: offend Erico? Is this something similar? Like you you impugned
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: his journalistic integrity and so he doesn't watch the games.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I honestly, I honestly don't know. Listen, it was something
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Dan said in this case Eisen, I own it, Risillo,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I own it.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, I never spoke about Mike Turrico.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: There was something and I was attached to Dan, and
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: so I don't know exactly what it is that Dan
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: said that ticked him off, but it was something right,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: But you know what happens.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: They see at school, a graduation ceremony, they see it
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: a lacrosse game with your daughter. And Michael Wilbon saw
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: a different person. He saw a dad he didn't see
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: stut God's and he loved it and he was great
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: with my daughter.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, I was good to.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Say that's something about Wilbon like Wilbon is a classic. Oh,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: I know, I got people like before I worked at ESPN.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: It was like the smallest bill. But I couldn't wait
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: to me and Wilbon and Corneys are on that list,
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: as you know, because I was Sean and Canada when
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I met Corneys, right, I go, you have no idea
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: what that means.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: When you would say I can't we go nuts and
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: he goes, I can't tell how because you must be
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: ask me.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: The most insecure inferior people ever, the Medicatians i've met,
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: we're like, oh my god, that's so great when you
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: say good night Canada and Cornheierser goes, the only reason
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: I do that is in Canada we're done. But in
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: the US, Peacha would have a segment on Sports Center,
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: so they go, what's the way to kiss off the
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Canadian audience? Let me just grab this flag and say
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: good night Canada. And you're like the one hundredth guys like,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: that's so great with you of Canada that shout out.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: I go, Tony, it's awesome. We love you and will
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: bond because I'm an Eagles fan, I go, I love
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: the fact every time you mentioned McNab, you'd say Donovan
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: F McNabb and you would always like rap him and
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Mobun's like, wow, we're both from Chicago's College.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: I know it's down to go. I don't care why, Michael,
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: I'm just telling you. I love mcdab You love mcdabb.

  Speaker 1: Thanks to Dusty Baker for joining us there. Even he
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: acknowledged you l Washington and the Toothpick. Thank you, Dusty,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: adding in this is interesting. I don't know what to
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: do with Taylor. He's real and he's all over the place.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I wish the NBA Finals would start tonight because Taylor
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: has been left with his own thoughts and time to
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: think because the Knicks are waiting around to see who
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: their opponent's going to be in the NBA Finals. Earlier
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: today on the podcast, he wanted someone to investigate Darryl Moury.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: He'll explain that to you in just a second. And
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: he also thinks Hartenstein is a double agent.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: For the Knicks.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: And so I mean, I just need this series to start,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: for crying out loud, We'll get to Wenby in a second.
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, Yeah, So, Addan, I want more investigated because
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: what he traded Jared McCain for to make the best
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: team in the league even better, giving them a starting
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: caliber player. I think there's something fishy there. The fact
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: that he got fired makes it even fishier. And then
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: Isaiah Hartenstein.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then, and then, and then you're questioning Darryl Morey's integrity.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: You're saying, let purposely laid down and became the team
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: really good player. He's acting as a double edged subtrifusiing
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: he's sabotaging his own job and career.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: That's what you're that's what you're referring him. With Darryl Moury.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: He's been in the year, widly.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Renowned, highly respected, big analytics guy, which I like as
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: a baseball guy.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: You're seeing Darryl Moury is doing this to make it clear.
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: If Darryl Moorey's next job next year he pops up
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: and he's on that thunder front office. All I'm saying
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: is maybe he was promised something.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Got allegedly. All right, well, they's smoke this fire. Okay,
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: give me the Hertenstein. He's a double agent. So that
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: he had a great run with the Knicks, that that
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: second half he gets a massive contract because you can't
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: pay him that kind of money. And all of a sudden,
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: you're telling me he's gonna lay down for the Knicks,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: like he's gonna mail it interest to give him a championship.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So instead of re signing with the Knicks, the
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: plan was for him to go to OKAC. He would
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: win a title with OKC. But the whole plan is
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: that when they meet back in the collision course in
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: the finals year two, because the Knicks weren't ready year
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: one and couldn't pay Isaiah Hartenstein what he deserved to
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: get paid, he might throw the series.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: So the big con here is you have to win
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: the championship in year one just to throw everyone off here.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Sense Yeah, and that's what he's thinking. Yeah right, yeah,
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: I mean I respond, he's crazy, You're right, You're right.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: I should just say this is insane.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Next topic, but I like to indulge everybody, and I
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: will say this, and Taylor's too smart to know this,
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: But there's twenty people out there who are too dumb
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: to know this. The many people who say to me
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: who are not big sports ins to go.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Is it fixed? And I go what they go? Is
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: it all fixed? Like the Knicks being in the finals,
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, what are you talking about?
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Like what if I I swear to god, my son
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: turned eighteen and one of his dad's was over and
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: watching the game Game four, the next game Memorial League is.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Is it fixed?
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: They go?
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Is what fixed?
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: He goes next winning, He's like, why would we like, sir, sir?
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Why would Cleveland want to humiliate themselves?
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: I go just inswer.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: That part pursues, but this seems too easy, Like how
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: are the Knicks winning by thirty seven? I don't understand.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I go, I'll tell you how to understand it. The
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's not that good. James Harden's washed, Mitchell is the
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: only good player, Mobley's good. The Knicks are really hot, right,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: they're shooting well? Because couldn't it just be a fix?
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: I go, who is?
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: This is not nineteen nineteen? Like back then, these guy
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: didn't make any money to the Black Socks.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: They needed some money.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: They were they worked in the regular season, right, they
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: played baseball, and then they were laborers.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: They worked in construction.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: So somebody said ten thousand dollars you going on, I
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: can go buy a house today. These guys are multi millionaires.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Why take the risk of befixed being in so to
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Hartenstein, who's making multi millions, why would he risk
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: smearing his name and family legacy forever?
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: He's a double Agents, I mean double agents.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: That's a spot.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: So I do know thrill.
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: I do like the thought ad of James Harden getting
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: the script for this year and being like, oh, I'm
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: still a bum.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it always ends the same way for me. He's diecasting.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 48:42

• 48:44
  Speaker 3: NBA town now tied the most for James Harden, Like
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: it's remarkable that guy's been around that month and also
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: a remarkablerun of futility Like Beforeestman me best person ever
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: won a title, I'd say Barkley Ewing stocked him alone.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Martin's in that list too. It's incredible how in effectively
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: he's been in winning a championship. And so is Durant
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: h So listen.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: God's personal record. But I forgot that's accurate. Those two
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: titles stricken from the record. I love it.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: The fixing thing is funny because they fix it every
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: twenty seven years. If they want the knicks in the
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals. They'd be fixing it every season. The Jets
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: would have made a Super Bowl. I mean, so we
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: have to we'll fix it when we talk to God.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: We figured this out, but you have to deal with this.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Aunt Thomas and Stefan Marbury and Jerome James and Marii Stotdemayer.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: And you're gonna have two week run of lind Sandy,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: that says, but we'll get your title appearance in twenty
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: seven years. Everyone give us like, all right, what what
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: are you talking about? As you said, if it was
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: so easy, it would be done already.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: No, Dan, here's the really funny part. Okay, yes, we
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: are fixing it. We're gonna put the smallest market in
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: the NBA in the NBA.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Finals and have them their own dynasty. There a dynasty.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Well that's what they'll say. The fixers go, well, that's
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: how they can't make it too obvious. Ye, he goes,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: they can't mix in the files. Every you say, okay, well,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: who can we put it.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: We'll put the smallest market and then nobody cares about
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: off with the Knicks. See yeah, that throws off off.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: We can't have Nick Nackers.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: That's too good a Nan is reeling. Listen, he's also reeling.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: He's emotional because.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: He is worried that the door, the path is now
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: wide open for Novak Djokovic to pass Roger Federer. He's
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: losing his mind. It is incredibly upsetting.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: All I've been saying to myself to is, hey, as
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: long as Sinner and Alcoraz play, Djokovic will not win
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: another major. And I can still make a foolish argument
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: that Federer is better than Jokovic. And now the door
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: has been swung open. Alcohol is injured and Cinner wilting
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: in the heat. It was eighty four degrees was even
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: that hot? Are you the other guys who play its
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: eighty five played in seventy three weather today?
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: I'm not on the French clay. What's wrong with the center? Awful?
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: He was one point away.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: God's points yest.
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: I thought again we were going to talk about Wemby
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: is the face of the NBA. Have a good day, everyone,
