  Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I am tarnishing his school's impeccable reputation just by sitting
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: here doing a radio show. Jeff Passing is with us.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: He graduated here from Syracuse. This is a very nice school.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: It's a school Jeff, that I feel like I don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: really belong being in. And if I had this equipment
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: growing up, you know, and actually had some training in this,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: perhaps I would be better. If I attended the New
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: House School broadcasting, I'd be pretty good at this. I mean,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: this place is amazing.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Jeff.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Well, on one hand, you've made a career out of
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: defiling things, so this is kind of far for the course.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: But beyond that, beyond that, you have contributed in the
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: neighborhood of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars over the
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: last four years university, so I think you can.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: Do whatever you want right now.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I think you can make a mockery, smash a window,
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: go in graffiti all over the place, you know, cross
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: out Tariko, crossout Costas.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: I am eagle whatever. Yes, you've earned it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: So thank you. I appreciate it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Permission.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: At least, yes, listen, I bought my way into the
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: New House School of Broadcasting through my daughter. But like
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: McDonough was on earlier and he was making the joke
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: congratulations of getting that bill off of your expense sheet.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's listen, I'm starting next year, so I
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: understand completely.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: And here's the thing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: You had a Division one athlete too, so at very
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: least I would hope that some of that was taking
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: care of my kids go into D three. So I
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: have the combination of playing sports but getting no benefit
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: out of it. So yeah, I'm ninety k in the
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: whole every year for the next four years and not looking.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Forward to it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Enjoy it, buddy, I love the podcast. I texted you
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: earlier this week. Sources tell Jeff pass it it's a
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: great name for your podcast.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Are you enjoying it?
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I'm loving it, man, Like it's it's hard doing what
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: you do. That's that's what I'm figuring out.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Like we're treating this like a weekly television show. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: you know, being as involved as I am with more
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: or less everything, I did not understand the second full
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: time job I.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Was going to be taking on.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: But it's it's, you know, my job at ESPN, My
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: main job is often reacting to, or at least chasing
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: down something that's happening.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: It's a passive endeavor doing a show like this.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: It's creating something and it's coming up with ideas that
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: you hope we're going to be interesting and compelling and
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: seeing them from start to finish.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: And that's not something I've done before.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: So it's been an absolute blast and I'm not sleeping
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: at all.
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: In love and every minute of it a pass it endeavor.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I knew it was coming. The filling of time is hard.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Me and Balboni Jones laugh about this all the time,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: just how hard it is to do this now that
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: we're patting ourselves on the back. But it originates our
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: conversation from a story on Radio Row where Travis Hunter
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: was trying to launch a podcast during Super Bowl Week
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: on Radio Row and Balmani walked past him had somehow
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: struck up a conversation with him, and he said, man,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: what you do for a living is really hard, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: that guy plays football for a living.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Jeff, Yeah, that guy plays football and he plays cornerback
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: and wide receivers.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So he plays.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Football at like the Otani level. Yes, and he's having
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: a tough time.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: But Monni Jones is also the person who, among everybody
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: in our industry, I have great faith could talk uninterrupted
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: and pull off like a twenty hour filibuster.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: On Capitol Hill if he needed to. Bos never had
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: a difficult time filling air, has.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: He No, I've heard him do that. Actually, he's never
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: had trouble.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Now, Taylor, this is interesting, so I am not certain
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: we've discussed this with you. Taylor is such a big
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yankee fan, and Cam Schlitzler is having such a great
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: year that he has said on record on national radio
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Jeff Passion that he would not trade camp straight up
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: for Paul Skeins.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: How do you feel about.
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: That, Jeff, I said it before the season too.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you were stupid before the season as
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: well as But this is right. I text you, here's
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: the thing you could name just about any other pitcher
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: and I would actually agree with you. Cam Schlitzler is awesome.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Paul Skins is just on another level. And with Trek
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Scoogle out right now, I think Paul Skins is unequivocally, undoubtedly,
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: without any competition, the best pitcher in baseball going right now.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: But to me, the most interesting part of Cam Schlitzler
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: speaks to what the New York Yankees have been able
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: to do. And for a long time, the Yankees had
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: a difficult time growing pitching internally. You know, they would
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: have guys who had decent strikeout rates in the minor leagues,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: other teams want to trade for him, but once they
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: got to the big league level, they were just like
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: you know, clertch Bit was good, got hurt Will Warren
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: last year wasn't a whole lot, gave up that monster
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Grand Slam to Vlad Guerrero and the playoffs that knocked
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: the Yankees out. But a dominant like frontline starter. It's
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: been a long time since the Yankees did that. Even
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Luis Heel, you know, going and winning Rookie of the
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Year couldn't nab a rotation spot this season. So to
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: see Schlittler go from drafted and throwing eighty eight to
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: ninety miles per hour to a guy who now sits
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: ninety seven to ninety nine will.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Hit triple digits regularly.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: He's awesome and he's part of the reason that the
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Yankees are the overwhelming favorites in the American League right now,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: because not only are they doing this with the staff
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: they've got now, but Carlos Redon's coming back this weekend.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Garrett Cole's not far off. The Yankees are going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: get better, and that is a scary thing for the
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: rest of.
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: The Al Jeff on the topic of Yankee prospects. The
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: Yankees are calling up Spencer Jones. Yankee fans have heard
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: a ton about him. They're already comparing him to Aaron Judge.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: They're putting the number side by side to what they
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: did in the minor leagues. What do you think are
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: fair expectations for Jones as he makes his MLB debut.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Spencer Jones is going to hit home runs, I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: that much. We know he is six foot seven and
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: two hundred and forty pounds in an absolute unit and
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: has a beautiful left handed swing. That being said, the
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: reason that Aaron Judge has managed to become the best
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: hitter in Major League baseball over the past few seasons
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: is because he has cut down on the swing and
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: miss and he still strikes out a fair bit. But
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Spencer Jones's strikeouts have been off the charts bad, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: the fact that he's still managed to be as productive
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: as he has in the minor league speaks to those
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: other skills.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: So if he can evolve.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: To maybe swing and miss a little bit less, even
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: if he cut it down by five percent, that takes
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: him from big leaguer to all sar. And if his
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: plate discipline can get even better than that, you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: it cuts down a strikeout rate by ten percent. Let's
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: say we're talking about a perennial MVP candidate. That's how
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: good the power is. But it's difficult to, especially when
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: you're in the big leagues facing better stuff than you
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: ever have before, to limit the strikeouts, like he's going
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: to need to to reach that talent that he has.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: Jeff, one of my favorite adjustments to baseball over the
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: last several years is the elaborate dugout celebration for home runs.
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: And I want to ask you your favorite, because I
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: came across one this week of the Colorado Rockies when
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: they throw on that purple faux fur coat, which is
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: absolutely beautiful. I don't care how fake it is. That's
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: my favorite by far. I don't know if you have
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: a favorite.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I like the Blue Jays home run jacket only because
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: I feel like it speaks to the team and its
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: character and who it is more than anything. They have
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: the flags of all the countries that the players play
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: for on it. I like the Mariners triedent too, just
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: because it looks kind of but I'm I'm all for
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: dugout celebrations of any variety. Like baseball is a sport
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: that for so long was like the dry chicken breast
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: of the sports. It was unappealing and unseasoned and just
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: not fun at all. And it's like, we finally got
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: some going on here. We've got some we got some seasoning,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: we got some flavor. We Baseball's needed it for a
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: long time. And hey, if that is, you know, pushing
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: a cart through the dugout, wearing a helmet in the dugout,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: a faux purple coat, or any of the other celebrations, I'm.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Here for it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: Jeff Stu was very quick to throw out sorry. Stu
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: was very quick to throw out Taylor's terrible trade idea.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: So let me ask one of Stu's terrible ideas. If
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: Derek Jeter had come up with the Pirates, He's not
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: He's not Derek Jeter, as Stu would say, yes, yes,
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: I agree, you'll get at it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: He went as far as saying that Derek Jeter is
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: in the right place, right time, Hall of Fame, which
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: I think is a bit much.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: I agree that's a bit much. I just don't think
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: he's Derek Jeter. I think he's more like Bobby Witt,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: which is that you are not appreciated nearly as much
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: when you're not in one of those huge markets.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: I think that's a reasonable thing.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: And I don't know that Derek Jeter is going to
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: be less of a player, but I'll say this, I
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: think Derek Jeter is going to get fewer opportunities in
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: that situation to do the sorts of historic things that
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: we remember him for. And so I do think time
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: and place matter with guys, and I think ignoring the
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: idea that one franchise is going to be a more
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: ideal fit and part of what made Derek Jeter as
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: great as he was, guys, was the fact that he
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: could survive the snake pit that can be New York
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: sports and emerge not just you know, with with his
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: full health and with his full production, but having benefited
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: from it and having been a part of it. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: think that you put Derek Jeter into Pittsburgh and the
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: full Derek jeterness of him just never is is brought
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: to the forefront.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: He's still he's still a great player. Don't get me wrong,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: He's great wherever he is.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: But the level that he's at I think was in
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to say in large part, but certainly
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: in part because he was a Yankee, and I think
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: he would probably say that too.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Yep, you see what's happening here, guys. Us new house guys.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: We stick together, we do. That's that's a couple of
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: new house guys cutting it up.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: I mean that's really you.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Can still go to school there, right, there's no like
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: age limit. I want to go back with you. He's right,
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: I'm right, Taylor, go ahead and Tailor, do you.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Think they would accept him? What was your what was
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: your sat?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: What? What's an sat?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: His saturdays?
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: The score?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Like you know, like a ninety two eighteen olls.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: All right, sounds sounds it sounds very accurate.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: I have a soft spot.
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: I have a soft spot in my heart for the
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: Chicago Cubs team because if you go to summer in
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: Wrigley Field, it's unbelievable. Is this Cubs team built to
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: win in the postseason? Because I know they're off to
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: a great start, but when you look at this team,
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: it doesn't really feel like they have the pitching, although
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: they're great on defense almost across the board, and they
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: do have players that could put the ball.
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: I'm glad you have to preface that with them having
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: a soft spot in your heart.
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: Because I want the Cubs success.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: It was necessary.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's a perfectly reasonable question because I think they
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: are an excellent regular season team. They are one through
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: nine in that lineup. It reminds me somewhat of the
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Blue Jays last year, where they have guys who have
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: slug but they also can put the ball in play,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: and they are deep, and it's tough to pitch that lineup.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: You know, when peek Row Armstrong, who hit thirty home
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: runs last year is hittingn ethan your lineup like, you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: you run deep and the defense. I do not want
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: to undersell that one bit. It's the best defense in baseball.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: They are so solid everywhere across the diamond, but especially
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: up the middle with Pca and center field, Dansby Swanson
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: at short, Nico Horner at second.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Like it's a really good team.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: But the pitching issues warranted, fair understandable, And that's what
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: concerns me about the Cubs because let's think about who
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: they're going to have.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: To go up against in the postseason.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: If it's the Dodgers, you've got Yamamoto and Otani and
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: Snell and Glass now not fun to face. And frankly,
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: the number one pitcher for the Cubs, whether it's Matt
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Boyd coming back from knee surgery or show Toy Minaga,
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I don't even know if they make.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: The top four of the Dodgers.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: And I'm not sure that the Cubs bullpen at this point, frankly,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: is deep enough. Because you can navigate a postseason without
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of starting pitching. We've seen the Houston
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Astros do that before, we saw the Dodgers do that
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: You don't need like all.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Of this frontline pitching to find success. But if you
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: don't have that, you better have a damn good bullpen.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: And the Cubs bullpen at this point, it's it's fine,
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: is it good?
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't put it up there yet.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Jeff, I failed.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry good.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say I failed us here because we
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: were talking about schemes for Cam straight up, and you
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: know Collin's audience. They miss Colin today, and so we
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: have Collins thoughts. Ai Collins thoughts on schemes for Schlip
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: straight up? Go ahead, Ai, colleague.
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: A one for one swap makes no sense for the
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: Yankees because Cam Schlittler is already pitching like a frontline
• 15:07
  Speaker 11: Ace five and one, a one to fifty two earned
• 15:10
  Speaker 11: run average, fifty three strikeouts, and a zero eighty seven
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: whip and you're not paying the new toy tax to
• 15:16
  Speaker 11: get it. Paul Skeens is a monster reigning National League
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: Cy Young and he's dealing again two thirty six earned
• 15:23
  Speaker 11: run average, forty six strikeouts in forty two innings. But
• 15:26
  Speaker 11: if your guy is already in that neighborhood, you keep
• 15:28
  Speaker 11: the extra year of control and the organizational stability. Also
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: trading your own ace in the making for another Ace
• 15:35
  Speaker 11: doesn't fix the stuff that usually breaks October teams, defense,
• 15:39
  Speaker 11: situational hitting, bullpen volatility. So yes, Skeens is the headline,
• 15:44
  Speaker 11: but Schlitzler is the smart money.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: It doesn't even know what to do with that. Okay,
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: you heard none of it? None of it?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Oh you couldn't hear it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: You could hear Ai colinrade no idea. I mean, why
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: did anyone tell me?
• 16:04
  Speaker 11: So?
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: You guys act like fool Yeah, Jess, you should just
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: know that Ailin entirely agreed with Taylor.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: So listen, Ai, it's listen. It's one thing for CC Sabathia,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: who actually came on our show and agreed with Taylor. Okay,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: he got caught up in the moment. He's a Yankee guy.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: You want to upset camp, all right, But Ai Colin
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: also just disagreed with me and you two new House
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: guys and agreed with Taylor.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: How about that?
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Honestly, it makes me feel good. I don't want to
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: do you know how often AI is wrong? Like all
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: of us have used AI in some form or fashion,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: and do we ever step away from it thinking, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: that was a pleasant experience. I really feel like Ai
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: answered my question. No, they answer a question in a
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: terrifyingly like pleasant manner. They say, oh that that's a
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: good you know, that's a great that's a good premise
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: that you have. Know they get things wrong all the time.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: If we are leaning on AI for baseball analysis, then
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: we have lost the plot.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: Gentlemen, are you saying AI likes the guest like people?
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: Because I don't believe that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: No, of course not. Of course, why would it ever
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: do that?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Come on, I went pass it on this, But again,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: we went to the same school, so I mean I
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: have his back.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: He has probably back.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I am so glad that someone finally alerted me because
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: we were about to play a game which requires you
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: hearing imaging.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: And I am so thrilled that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Someone finally figured out that passing can't hear any sound
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: that's being fired off from Sherman Oaks or Miami.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: How about that?
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: I I'll tell you this, I heard the back end
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: of it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: So if we want to try it one more time,
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: by all means, I would love to have a conversation
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: with Ai.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: This is right.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Well, hold on, I.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Thought my day was going to get Let's ask let's
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: see if you could hear this Ai Collins thoughts on
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: whether or not the Dodgers, the La Dodge they you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: they have a dynasty going on, and they're I've I
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: have questioned whether or not they're good for baseball.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Let's see if Ai Colin agrees with me.
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: No, the Los Angeles Dodgers aren't bad for baseball.
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: They're gasoline on the fire.
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: When you've got a monster brand that travels well and
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: everybody wants to beat, it gives the sport a villain,
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: a measuring stick, and a reason to watch on a
• 18:23
  Speaker 11: random Tuesday night. What's bad for baseball is the deadweight
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: franchises that don't spend, don't develop, and don't try. Those
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: teams drain the energy out of the whole league. So
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: let the Dodgers be great and let everybody else chase them.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Did you hear it?
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: I did? I did hear that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize that, Uh, that that Ai column was
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: part of the Democratic Socialists of America.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: Wow, that was that was quite.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: A thing right there.
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: I mean, it's like, here's the thing you're gonna see
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: this over the next year, is the labor negotiation plays
• 19:01
  Speaker 12: out Collective bargaining agreement of December first, there's almost certainly
• 19:06
  Speaker 12: going to be a lockout, and there are very pro
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: labor sects of the fan base that essentially made the
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: argument that AI Colin.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Made right there, and there's some validity to it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Actually, I think the Dodgers are good in the same
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: way that the Yankees were good back in the nineteen nineties.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: It is a measuring stick. It's something that every other
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: team can aspire to beat, and when somebody does beat them,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: it's a big deal.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: So yeah, as.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Long as the Dodgers are playing within the rules, which
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: they are, I feel like what they're doing actually does,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: as AI Colin said, expose those teams.
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: That are I just want to say this out loud,
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: because I know everything is listening. When we inevitably go
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: to war with our artificial intelligence. I am not on
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: Jeff Pesson's side on this.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: I am Jeff is on his own on this one.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: I got your back.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I'm fine.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Like I will admit, I'm polite to AI when I
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: talk to it, I ask please.
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: I don't know how I feel about that, but it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: just like there's this entity that's trying to help me,
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: and I don't want to be a turd toward it,
• 20:15
  Speaker 12: even though.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I know there's no humanity there.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: You're just a compendium of things that all of us
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: have written throughout history and somehow process it into knowledge.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: This like I feel like, you know, I'm like the
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: anti Carol Stirka. I would much rather be like Carol
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: and look at the machine as if it's a force
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: of evil.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: But it's just so helpful.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: Sometimes when my partner does.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Get things wrong, I'm still pleasant to it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: When my partner curses at Alexa, I get so cringey.
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: I'm like, oh no, why are you talking to her
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: like that?
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: Busy is selling out the human race hard in the
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: in the Future Wars.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: All right, Jeff, We're we're glad you you could hear that,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Ai Colin, and so we hope that means you could
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: hear this. We're gonna play a game with you and
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: get you out here in just a second. It's a
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: game we like to call one table.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Sin who's getting it and who's getting left outside greatness
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: gets seated. Everyone else waits. This is one table.
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: So, Jeff, there's one table at the hottest restaurant in Atlanta.
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: Greg Maddox walks in Tom Glavin walks in and John
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: Smoltz walks in. Who gets the table?
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: That's a good question, excellent.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: Who gets it or should get it?
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Gets Who gets the You're running that restaurant and those
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: three walk in at the exact same time, you have
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: one table, they're with their families.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Who gets the table?
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Greg Maddox all day?
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Really wow?
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, best best picture of the bunch.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: But beyond that, Greg Maddox was the king of like
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: clubhouse poop jokes, and that's the kind of guy who
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: I want dining at my restaurant.
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: He was a really low talker. He used to really
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: tick me off. And I was in the back of
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: the crowd.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: And he was in there tongue and his answers like this,
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: I think he did that on purpose.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: He did.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: And also you should have you should have been there earlier,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Like he'll hold your way to the front.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: You're this guy.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: This is how he became a hol of fay baseball writer.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, you could kick the ass of ninety nine percent
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: of reporters. I imagine, I've seen you shirtless. It's majestic,
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: and like, why are you not using that to your advantage?
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: You're right, I should just take off my shirt. They'll
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: all just make room.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: No what he does, he's a seable part.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: No, this is he the kind of guy that will
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: drive you crazy, Jeff, because you're right. When he takes
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: his shirt off, he does look majestic. He's in better
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: shape than any of us will ever be. It is
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: he thinks he doesn't look good. He thinks he's in
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: bad shape. No, that's a whole different thing. Also, I
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: was twenty two, so I was not. Yeah, but no
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: one likes that guy who's in better shape that we
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: are and is constantly getting upset and telling everyone, Hey,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not in good shape. Cincinnati. There's a restaurant in Cincinnati, Okay,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Joey Vado walks in.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, the Vados.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of another Cincinnati rad boy, because
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: if I say the Roses, you're gonna give the table
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: to the Roses. But people don't realize just how popular
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Joey Vado is in Cincinnati.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go Vados and the Roses. Who gets
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: the table?
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Pete Rose, good player, not a good dude.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I was trying to sway him.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Well, Pete Rose isn't.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: Alive, I know. I mean don't matter.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I mean just you know, you know Pete Rose and
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: his prime Bodo Prime.
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: Brought into the restaurant.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I'd be.
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: Pete Rose.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: He would still get the table.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Dead Pete Rose still gets the table. Okay, Pete Rose,
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: I think yeah, I think, all right, go ahead?
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Does he have no?
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Oh? Really you have one?
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: Go ahead?
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: This table is in Los Angeles, Jeff, oh boy, Sandy
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Kofax walks in, and sho he Otani walks in. Who
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: gets the table?
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Oh my, I'm traveling. Oh that's a really good one.
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: I think I think they give it. I think they
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: give it to Oani.
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: Wow, what what I do? He just got there?
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: I think they give it's la. It's la once you're
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: like once, you're not a thing anymore.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: I know Sandy Kofax will always be a thing, but
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: I don't think that at restaurants. Is this my restaurant, yes,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: you decide?
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: No, No, it's my restaurant.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: It's Sandy Kofax. You're Jewish guy. If he's gonna seat
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: Sandy anyone, I would see Sandy kill FAC's over God himself.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Wait, so if it's your restaurant, are you allowing the
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: dead Pete Rose to sit in it.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: I'm going there.
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: I don't think God was that good at baseball, all right, have.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: No shirt, no shoes, no breathing, no service like we
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: gotta have.
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: That up the front.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I'm going back to New York for a second. Aaron Judge,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Derek Jeter, one table.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: Derek Jeter always wow.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: Derek Jeter has a Pittsburgh pirate. Probably doesn't get the take.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: I think it would be Judge.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I think it would be Judge at that point, because
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Derek Jeter is not Derek Jeter if he's a Pittsburgh pirate.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, Just like that, we ran out of time.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: A game dead.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: Pete Rose, Jeff pass it. Thank you for the time,
• 25:56

• 27:08
  Speaker 3: This has been a fun day filling in for Colin.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: I am told that we have Christopher mad Dog russo.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Sound of him mispronouncing a name. I don't think we're
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: gonna be surprised by the name he mispronounces because this
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: is a tough name for anybody, especially Christopher mad Dog Russo,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: go ahead, Taylor.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: So this is a name that's given him trouble in
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: the past. This is Yankees ace Cam Schlitzler. This is
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: mad Dog trying to say it last postseason during the
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: wild Card round between the Yankees and Boston.
• 27:40
  Speaker 14: Let me start here and then we'll get into Schlitchter,
• 27:43
  Speaker 14: who obviously was was Schutner. It was just tremendous in
• 27:48
  Speaker 14: the game. Schlitzer yesterday left him in there.
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: So that was mad Dog last postseason.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: It's all right, So you would you would think after that, Taylor,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: he would never try to pronounce that last name again.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: You would think three different ways right then.
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: It was those like cartoons like a Bugs Bunny and
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: the Bugs Bunny playing baseball where mad Dog swung and
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: missed three times at the same pitch, trying to pronounce
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: the name Cam Schlittler. So mad Dog, there's two ways
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: you could go. He's either gonna get better or he's
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: just gonna keep mispronouncing the word. This was him yesterday
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: talking about Garrett Cole coming back and him mentioning Cam
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: Schlitzer again.
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: If he comes back in any kind of form and
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: adding him to a staff that you know, got Cam
• 28:32
  Speaker 14: sheet on it, who's done very well.
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: We're one that's gonna be a nightmare name for his
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: entire career.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, so he's just like he knows he has
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: to say the name. He can't avoid saying the name.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: He has to talk Yankee Baseball, and when he talks
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Yankee Baseball, occasionally he's gonna have to mention Cam's name.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out away from mad Dog to
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: avoid trying to pronounce his last name.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: He wants the Paul Skens trades so bad.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: He wants it so bad.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Just because the name heard.
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: For those who might not have heard the first clip,
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: just know that he said it without the.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: L without he said exactly what you would imagine someone
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: would say, uh in that spot. I want to hear
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the second one though, again, because we can't play the
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: first one. We're on live national radio, on college show.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: He's got a big audience, or he had a big audience.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Let's hear the second one again.
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: If he comes back in any kind of form, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: adding him to a staff that you know, got Cam
• 29:31
  Speaker 14: sheep cheat on it, who's done very well.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: I've never heard somebody so scared.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Speedball camp sheeps cheat on it.
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: You know what he meant?
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: He is dying for skiings with my key on this.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Just give me a better name, or cam change your name.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: What happened with Bill Simmons, Taylor? I feel like Bill
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Simmons did something that I would do. What happened here
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: with Bill?
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: So the classic move when you don't watch a game,
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: stuyro Yeah, you pull up the box score. You try
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: to tell the story, which doesn't really make sense because
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: when you think of Bill Simmons, do you think Bill
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: Simmons is watching these games? This might be just an
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: unfortunate situation, but the Internet again, I love Bill Simmons,
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: just want Yeah, let's be clear on that. The Internet
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: is calling him box score Bill because of this sound
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: from from yesterday's Lakers Thunder postgame podcast.
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: Let's See Chet thirty two. Mitchell played thirty, Wallace played thirty.
• 30:46
  Speaker 15: But you know they played ten guys. They really played
• 30:49
  Speaker 15: more than that, But really they have this ten man rotation.
• 30:51
  Speaker 15: Jaylen Williams played fourteen minutes today. He's was their second
• 30:55
  Speaker 15: best guy during the title run last year, and now
• 30:57
  Speaker 15: he's I think their third best guy, because I think
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: chet has officially put on the Robin Coston to batman
• 31:05
  Speaker 15: to slapping batman s Jay.
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: So, STU, you might not have picked up where the
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: mistake was there, then.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: No, I did you want me to try and guess here?
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, my goodness, where are two.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Jalen Williams on that team? Yes?
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: How about that?
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: This man really has been staying up watching these games.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: So Bill Simmons, who wrote the book on basketball, okay,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: does it know that Jalen Williams, the second best player
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: on the Thunder, has been out and is out currently
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: for OKC.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: That is laugh out loud funny. Be proud of it, Bill, dude.
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: And now I want you to recognize this noise that
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: was made right because I want you to picture yourself.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: Okay, you didn't watch the game. It's rare. It's last year,
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: last year, this year, you're watching the games. Let's say
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: it's last year.
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: You didn't watch the games, right, You're like, all right,
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: You break out your newspaper because you still got the newspaper,
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: and you look at the box score and you're like,
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: all right, I'm about to come up with my take
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: for this game. And you open up the box score
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: and you make this sound. Let's see, that's exactly the
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: sound you would make, is it not?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's it's the sound I do make when I'm
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: scrolling THEO.
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: Let's see in Unison. It's practically in Unison it was
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: perfect Stu.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: It's the equivalent of francessa going as he's looking for
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: a screen call.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: That's how he fills time. Bill doesn't with us.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Let's see Yes and Francess.
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: Every Thursday checking the lines before an NFL Sunday.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Does Bill still call his show the BS Report? Because
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I would call it the Total BS Report?
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: So some people are saying the B M B S
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: and Bill Simmons stands for box score. I'm not saying that.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: I would say it stands for bowl.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: Again, James hard again.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: To be very clear, I love Bill Simmons.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: I love the yes Uh.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: He has responded on Twitter because people are dunking on him, saying,
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: how do you know Jalen Williams, the Thunder's second best player,
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: has been injured for the start of this series. No,
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: Simmons is responding on Twitter. He said, I spent five
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: hours watching both games, like always, just brain farted. We
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: recorded right after the game, and I was trying to
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: rip through fifteen things I wanted to talk about as
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: fast as possible and just messed up. Bleep, happens, my bad.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: Really hope you can forgive me. They really hope you
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: could forgive me. He mentioned the guy's name who tweeted
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: at him, and you could tell it was a very
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: sarcastic Really hope you could forgive me.
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: Okay, So it doesn't care, it's just being honest. Hey,
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: you know what, I watched the game. I messed well,
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: big deal. Do you know how many times I'm on
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: the air.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Well, is he being honest though?
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: Like, do you think that I don't know?
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's yes.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: It's an easy thing for him to say now after
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the fact. And You're right, he did have the response,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: but I'm not certain I'm buying it.
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: You know, Well for somebody.
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: The thing that I'm impressed the most with Bill Simmons
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: in his entire career is just his recall in general,
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: right like he used to do. He did a whole
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: thing where he compared I think every NBA team to
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: a season of twenty four or something like.
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: It was just absolutely ridiculous. The level of recall that
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: he has.
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: He's watched so many basketball games and recapped so many
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: basketball games, and even if he didn't watch it, I
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: would have full confidence that I can pull this.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: Off just off the box score.
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: So whether he watched it or not, whether he might
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: have fallen asleep watching it or not, I don't care.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I really want to dissect this. I need to hear
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: the entirety of the sound again. I want to hear
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: it all, and I will determine whether or not Bill
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Simmons is being honest.
• 34:40
  Speaker 15: Played again, let's see shit thirty two. Mitchell played thirty,
• 34:48
  Speaker 15: Wallace played thirty. But you know they played ten guys.
• 34:51
  Speaker 15: They really played more than that. But really they have
• 34:52
  Speaker 15: this ten man rotation. Jayla Williams played fourteen minutes tonight.
• 34:56
  Speaker 15: He's was their second best guy during the title run
• 34:59
  Speaker 15: last year. Now he's I think their third best guy
• 35:02
  Speaker 15: because I think Chet has officially put on the Robin
• 35:05
  Speaker 15: Coston to Batman to slapping Batman.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: That's Jack here.
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: Here's why I want to give him a little bit
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: of a pass too. I want to say it's an
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: age thing, because man, even in the middle of that sentence,
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: something had to go off. In his head, like, wait
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: a second, that doesn't make any sense. Why would Jaalen
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: Williams only play fourteen minutes if he was healthy?
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: No, I have now listened to it twice. And Bill
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Simmons does not know that Jalen Williams is hurt. I mean,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, and you can't call yourself, you know, the
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: basketball expert not know in the postseason, the second season,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: that the Oklahoma City Thunder's second best player hasn't been there.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: Everybody's heard who can remember again?
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: In defense of Bill team, I'm team Bill Simmons. Almost
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: we get it, just more prefacely, just so am I
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: he's my friend? The take, The take is correct where
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: Jalen Williams might take more of a back seat this
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: season at chet Holme Grid. There's no way you watch
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: that entire game and you thought Jalen Williams, the second
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: best player on the Thunders, played for fourteen minutes.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: So I don't want to hear brain farts and I
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: was scrolling through sixteen things that I was thinking of
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: at the time. Just say you didn't watch the game.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: It's okay. No one's gonna care, even for Bill Simmons.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: No one's gonna care that he missed a game in
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the postseason. It's all right, these games are late.
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: I mean, I'm listening, Bill. This is coming from a
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: Syracuse alump. Yes, I mean I went to the new
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: very serious about journalism, A new House guy, very serious
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: about journalism.
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: So just take note.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I gotta tell you it's really nice being home again, Sarah, excuse,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: I want to start a podcast called the Total BS Report.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: Can we do that?
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Eight seven seven for the Herd. I have no idea
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: why I'm giving out the number. I just wanted to
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: say it one more time before we get out of here.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Eight seven seven for the Herd. We wrap it up
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: with polls coming up next.
• 37:05

• 37:22
  Speaker 3: that we have asked Ai Colin Coward for his mount
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Rushmore of sports radio shows.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: So I've been dying. I listen.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I have asked Colin the real Colin several times for
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: his Mount Rushmore. He refuses to give it to me,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: but Ai Colin will answer any question, thank you, So
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: what's up?
• 37:40

• 37:57
  Speaker 11: it's cool, it's smart, and it never sounds like it's
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: trying too hard. And the Jim Rome Show because that
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: thing was a fastball every day and if you couldn't
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: handle it, change the station.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Wow.

  Speaker 9: A guy who gets on who gets follow up questions,

  Speaker 3: it happens. I mean Bill Simmons, you know he had
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: sixteen things. Yeah, he was figuring it out. Jayla Well
