  Speaker 1: Jeff Bassin going to join us in hour number two.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Get us ready for the World Series. The World Series
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: starts tonight, is he?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Really? Baseball? Yeah.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: The World Series. Taylor, are you into the World Series?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: You are into the World Series.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: I love baseball.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I know you do. Yes. But do you love the
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Rays and the Brewers enough to watch them?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Two best teams in baseball. If you can't get
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: excited about the two best teams in baseball, check your pulse.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's a Heat game on tonight.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Big game.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Knicks play two.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Yes, a big game two at Stugatz Loves.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, a game two of the season. Not nearly as
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: big as game two of a best of seven. Right.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But a big game nonetheless. Taylor is very down on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: your Miami Heat. We'll get to the NFL game in
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: just a second.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: We can just stay there, yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: So, Izzy, what I'm now realizing is I basically just
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: committed myself to watching the World Series game tonight, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I forgot that the Knicks are playing the Celtics, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: that's going to get priority over. So I'll catch the
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: World Series when I catch the World Series.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Speaking of things you were supposed to watch, last night
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: did you watch Die Hard?
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: No, I told you it was an NFL Thursday. And
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: then today I have the NBA games. Tomorrow's college football,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: NFL on Sunday, Monday night football.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: But you're down on the heat. You said the heat
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: aren't very good. You said Giannis has passed his prime.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I didn't say Giannis was past his prime. He's putting
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: words into my mouth now.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Is he?
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: What I said was the entire offseason, everybody, when they
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: were talking about negatives for this heat team, mentioned Giannis. hey,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: the Heat don't really have enough shooting around Giannis. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: there's a difference between having great shooters and bringing guys
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: in that just had good shooting percentages. And then I
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: think game one was a victory for the media that said, hey,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Heat might not have enough shooting around Giannis.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: I think what game one was just a victory of
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: for the Heat haters was just The roster development or
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: the roster creation, like I get what people are saying,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: like it's not perfect. Yes, you do have some shooters
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: and at times when they're open and Giannis is distributing,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: they're going to hit some shots. But it was it
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: felt like it was all Giannis creating shots in the preseason.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: And so you get. To the regular season game one,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: obviously Giannis is looking for his own. He's hitting very efficiently.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: He's hitting from the field, but nobody else is creating
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: shots for anybody else. Like when when when Bam had
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: his few moments, it was just like, oh, Bam creating
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: for himself. And then there was a couple of times
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: where the offense stalled. Then it's like everybody's just looking
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: at Davion. You're going to do something because we're all
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: just standing around waiting for somebody to kick us, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: kick us at an open shot.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And so I can.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: See where some of the criticism was, but it's not
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: as simple as you said.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, they just don't have shooters. Yeah, they have some shooters.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: They don't have enough shot creators.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I think they need to probably have a little bit
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: more of a youthfulness to them that they didn't really have.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You really show in game one.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Maybe that means the rookie, you know, second round pick
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: gets some minutes or whatever. But yeah, I can see
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: where people are saying this isn't a championship team. It's
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: just a nice team around Giannis.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: My takeaway from that game is the Timberwolves are a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: championship team.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Like, that team looked really, really good. I mean, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: know it's one game in, but they're supposed to be good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They've been to the conference finals a couple of times,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and people question whether or not Anthony Edwards.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Could play alongside Lomelo Ball, and at least for a
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: night they did.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Listen— If that dude, and I mean Anthony Edwards, if
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: that dude is going to shoot like that from distance
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: with people in his face half the time, it's over
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: for everybody.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: That's Steph Curry without a good offense around him. That's just,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I'll just.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Take my guy, pull up for three, boom, I'm going
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: to hit more than half of them. Yeah, if that's
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: going to be the case all the time, it's going
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: to be a nightmare. But, you know, LaMelo's going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: miss some. The thing that I just got from that
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: game was, Man, that ridiculous non-travel call on LaMelo Ball
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: that the league eventually said, yeah, no, that was a travel.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: It wasn't just that it was a travel. It was
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: just that LaMelo was defending himself after the game. He's like, oh, no,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: the ball is floating in my hand. Dude, your hand
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: is under the ball.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: That's where your gas is. Like, you are not a magician.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: The ball is not floating above your hand as you
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: have your hand under it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: That we're going to have to get under control because
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: his travels are a little crazy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: That's classic Lomelo right there. Anyway, what do you got, Taylor?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Izzy, what do you think is fair in terms of
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: the criticism after one game of bam out of bio
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: where people have come out like Kendrick Perkins saying that
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: he has to be more aggressive. You know what Giannis
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: is bringing to the table. Giannis is a top 10
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: player in the NBA when he's healthy. Somebody like Gilbert
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Arenas is saying that Bam Adebayo, like we saw Bam
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Adebayo score 83. There's no real excuse for Bam Adebayo
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: to have nights where he looks as passive as he
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: looks some nights.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, after game one, no, it's not a
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: fair criticism. It's one game.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: It's not like they've played multiple full games together in
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: the preseason with everybody. The thing, yeah, that sort of
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: lends itself to what I was saying before. It was
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: just like, This needs— if they're going to be this high-paced team,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: it can't be reliant necessarily on the shot creators. Like,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: they either have to move the ball quickly, just get
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: up and down quickly, whatever, because they don't have the
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: shot creators necessarily. Where I have a problem with the
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Heat is I don't—and this is my— maybe it's an Eric
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Spolster thing. And, I mean, it's got to be an
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Eric Spolster thing. He's the one who dictates how they play.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: But I just don't think the personnel matches the style
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: of play that they're trying, right?
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You've got old Clay. You've got an older Tim Hardaway.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: You've got— even an older Giannis, and if they're going
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: to play this fast, you can't be that good of
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: a defensive team.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: You can't be that gritty lockdown.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you can be that late in games
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: and close games, and it's just like, okay, nobody's going
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: to score on us late in the game, but that's
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: when everything slows down. I think they need to slow down.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: I think, yes, you grab a rebound, Giannis, go see
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: if you can get something easy. If he can't get
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: something easy, slow the pace down. Because if you're going
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: to try to keep up with these other teams without
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: the creation, without the shooting necessarily from your stars, your
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: two main guys, it's just not going to work for you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I've had the pleasure here of getting to know Dan
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Patrick over the years.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And I don't say that to name drop. I just
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: say that to tell you this story. One of the most.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Valuable lessons he taught me, and it's an underrated skill,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is simply to listen.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Listen. When you're doing a show, listen to what the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: other person is saying.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And Taylor was not listening when he brought up Kendrick
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Perkins and you spat back at him.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I don't care what he has to say.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I heard him say that, yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Well, you should have stopped and asked him why.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Well, one, I don't love his opinions. And two, yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: he left me hanging on something that he was supposed
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: to do for me.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: A while back. And I'm just like, yeah.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: He told me over and over again via text that
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: you were going to do it. And then when time comes,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: you didn't do it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So if you had to pie chart that as the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: reason he said, I don't care what Kendrick Perkins has
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: 80%. 80% to the thing he didn't do for you.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I was going to put it higher. No, the other 20%
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: is his takes. What were your thoughts? We had a
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: great NFL game last night. Good matchup. Bears and Patriots.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: What were your thoughts? Did you watch the game? I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: watched a good amount of it. First of all, I
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: thought it was a great Thursday night game. It's very
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: rare that you get the matchup going in and it
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: ended up being a.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Pretty good game. I'd say I watched about 80% of it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I think Caleb Williams is... to me the currently the
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: number one draw in the nfl yes like i think
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: he's that much fun to watch he's that good to
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: watch uh only because he's on the screen right now
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: am i going to mention this your boy herbie had
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: a hiccup there where he uh called him a bucking
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: bronco that needed to be tamed it's just like watch
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: your language man you got to be careful what you're
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: saying um will you leave herbie alone i will i
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: will not i will not um and no i think
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: i think it's great i think he's great i think
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: that team's great i would love to see them you
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: know march their way onto a super bowl um What
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: do you guys.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Have you guys talked at all about A.J. Brown?
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Because I was saying last year that dude is never
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: really open. Like he only kind of runs these comeback
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: routes and that's where he's, you know, open because he's
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: just using his body, kind of getting off the defender,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: et cetera.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: But he looks like a combination of washed and bored.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: And, you know, there was a couple of plays. There
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: was that one deep ball, the other. And it looked
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: like he really wasn't. And I get, you know, people
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: are going to say maybe it was past interference because
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: the defensive player had his hand. basically in the cookie jar,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: like basically in between both of A.J.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Brown's hands.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: But it didn't seem like he was putting much effort
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: into that. I don't know how he sees the ball
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: in a night game when he's wearing that dark shade.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: And that looked like in that specific situation, he maybe
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: didn't even see the ball because he was just waiting
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: for it to fall into his hands. He's confusing to me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: And if he was my wide receiver one as a quarterback,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: I'd be ticked off.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Taylor, put it on the polls. There are need to
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: wear that shaded visor at a night game. I don't
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: know how.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, I've never played DB in the NFL,
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: but I don't know how often you're staring at the
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: receiver's eyes in order to get your advantage on there.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: So why do you need the shade?
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And some people might say that A.J. Brown lingering injuries
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: like there's stuff going on there. He doesn't look right.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He's not playing the way we've seen him play. But
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you can't be the guy. who kind of yells and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: screams and kicks his way out of Philadelphia because he
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: wants all the things that he now has in New
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: England and get off to this bad of a start.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I think there is something there, though, to Izzy's point,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: where A.J. Brown looks like he can't really separate anymore
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: the way he was doing it in Tennessee or early
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: in his time in Philadelphia. And then when you compound
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: that now with now he has more drops, he doesn't
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: look like the same receiver. And I think if you're
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: the Patriots, the hope is– You give him more time
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: to get healthy and maybe he does start to separate
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: more or maybe he does his hands start to come back.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: But right now, I think A.J. Brown is a pretty
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: big concern for this Patriots.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was a straight go route.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: And the defender not only was step for step with him,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: but was able to reach around him as he was
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: running like that that's not a very fast wide receiver
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: and he never really i mean he was always fast
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: some level of fast but that wasn't his top skill
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: because he was just a bigger body who could run
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: routes well and can you know shed defenders and make
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: tough catches he's not doing any.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Of that uh ep jason wrote us a note here
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in the chat ep jason just come to the microphone
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and say what it is that you would like to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: say because i'm not certain i disagree with.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: You he's also isn't aj brown like bad body language guy,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: like maybe he does care, but he looks like he doesn't.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: And this is three teams in a row. Now we've
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: seen this like a bad body language. Yes.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: And one of those teams incidentally was a team that
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: was going to the Superbowl regularly.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: So I mean, if I remember correctly, he was, you know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: angry celebrator, right? Like he was just like, yeah, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: like not joyous. He always looked like he was angry
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: at somebody, but still showing off.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: That that part is even gone.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: We had a raging debate. I was laughing because, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I love Taylor and I love Mikey. And I wondered,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: are we ever going to fight?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Like because we don't do a lot in the way
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of sports radio back and forth.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Fighting about a take and who's right and who's wrong.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And I wondered what was the topic going to be
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that would eventually get us to fight. And it was
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson. And the discussion we were
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: having is who deserves more credit?
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Who is the reason? What's the reason the other one
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: is so great?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Is Caleb Williams more important to the Bears' success than
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Ben Johnson? Because I believe it's Caleb Williams and.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: It's not even close.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Well, Ben Johnson obviously had his success as an offensive
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: coordinator in Detroit, and that doesn't look the same without him.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's OK that it's 50-50. Really?
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I think the pie is split right down the middle.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Because Ben Johnson's saying to himself, I've got a quarterback
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: that I can do absolutely everything in my playbook with.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Which is why he chose to go to Chicago for
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that quarterback.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: That has nothing to do with Ben Johnson.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: That all has to do with Caleb Williams and Ben
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Johnson saying, man, that kid's worked hard and he's talented enough.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: That's my guy.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: But also Caleb Williams looks at this and says, unbelievable.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: I couldn't have landed in a better place. I've got
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: a head coach slash O.C., that not only trusts me
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: but takes advantage of all my abilities. I think it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: just sort of a marriage made in heaven.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Izzy, when we were making this argument, Stu Gatz was
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: doing the thing where he was just hearing what he
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: wanted to hear.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Of course I was.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Because when we were describing our argument.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: The hell you think this is?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: He kept framing it like we were saying the Bears
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: could have any quarterback in Ben Johnson's system and they're
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: going to be a Super Bowl contender. The only point
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I was trying to make is when you have a
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: quarterback like Caleb Williams and then you pair him with
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: somebody like Ben Johnson, like Caleb Williams with an average
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: NFL coach is still going to make the playoffs more
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: often than not. But when you pair him with Ben Johnson,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden you go from a team that's
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: going in the wildcard round to— to now with Super
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Bowl aspirations.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: All right, so that's fair.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I was basically saying if Aaron Glenn was coaching the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, Caleb Williams would still be all the things
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that you just described him to be.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure about that, though.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: No, they'd make the playoffs. Joe Burrow has done it
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: with Zach Taylor.
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: True.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Okay? Making the playoffs is one thing. Taylor, I'm agreeing
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: with you here, okay?
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Now I was just hearing what I want.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: And that's what sports radio is all about.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Well, what I believe, and this is a different way
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: of trying to say what Herbstreet said the other last night.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I do believe that being with Ben Johnson accelerates the
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: learning curve. Like he could have been with Aaron Glenn
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: and shown moments of being this brilliant quarterback, but would
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: have occasionally, you know, goofed up because he's trying to
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: do too much because the offense doesn't really allow him to.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: you know, to do everything he needs to do. It
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: feels a little bit like what Jaden Daniels is stuck
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: in in Washington, where it's just like it's not really
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: taking advantage.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Of his ability.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: So, again, I just think, you know, the two of
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: them are perfect for each other, where Ben Johnson, a
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: young head coach, is looking like one of the best
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: in the league, and Caleb Williams, a young quarterback, is
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: looking like maybe the best in the league because they're together.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: When I watch Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson specifically, that
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: pairing together... It reminds me the closest to the Patriots
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: with Tom Brady, where as a Jets fan, when I
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: see my quarterback drop back, I have no idea where
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: this pass is going. I'm almost assuming that he's throwing
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: into coverage. There might be a defensive back there. But
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: when you saw Tom Brady and anytime Tom Brady threw
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: a pass, you had a pretty good idea that the
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: receiver was going to be wide open once the camera cut.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I have that same feeling towards Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: where The second the ball leaves Caleb Williams laser of
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: an arm, I'm like, oh, this wide receiver has to
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: be like 10 yards of separation between him and the
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: defensive back.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: That's a little bit of a jump scare when you
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: say as a Jets fan, because I forget that you're
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: a Jets fan. I know you don't bring it up
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: that much.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I associate with them. Sometimes I don't.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: You're better than that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: More often than not, I don't associate.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: You should just go back. I mean, that's it. Not fourth.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Just keep running. But that is a great point.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: There was a time, it was a couple of weeks
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: ago or before he got hurt, where I remember seeing
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: him sort of floating toward the sideline. And it looked
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: like he was anybody else would be like, oh, you
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: got to throw this away. And he just threw a dart.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: And I was like, somebody's going to be on the
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: other end of that. You're not necessarily open, but he's
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: going to find. And it was just in the belly
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: of a receiver between two different guys.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: The arm strength, the vision, the game slowing down, seeing
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: things before they happen at a different speed than everyone
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: else on the field.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Those are all abilities that Ben Johnson did not teach him.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You're right about Ben Johnson, putting him maximizing his strengths
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and putting him in a position to succeed. And no
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: one is doing it better right now that Ben Johnson,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying Caleb put in all the work before he.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Got to Ben Johnson.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Stu, you know what Ben Johnson does have though? What
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: guts to trust Cairo Santos to make a 58 yard
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: field goal after he just doing to field goal.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Like that felt like a game that the bears have
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: lost consistently. every time before Ben Johnson and Kayla Williams
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: got there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Where the only explanation I have for how Cairo Santos
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: made a career-long field goal after, what, like a decade
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: in the NFL for a kicker to make a career-long
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: field goal this far into his career, the ghost of
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Mike Ditka.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: The only explanation for that.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, or just the vibes of Caleb Williams because nobody
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: wanted to blame it on him for taking a sack, right?
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Vibes of Caleb Williams or the ghost of Mike Ditka?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Who was more responsible for that field goal?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: I used to have a— I think I deleted it, but
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I had a picture on my phone of Mike Ditka
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: giving Mike Lupica the finger. in an espn green room
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: and i don't know why i deleted that but i
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: no longer.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Have that picture i'm certain he's not the only one
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to do that to lupica that's why i took the.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Picture be sure to catch live editions of stew gods
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and company live weekdays at 3 p.m eastern 12 p.m
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: pacific on fox sports radio and the iheart radio.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: App you guys know where dan byer is today isaac's
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: got the uh sports update here in just a minute.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: It's always a dangerous game guessing where people are when
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: they're not here.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Well, with Dan, it's usually golfing. It's not today, though.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: He was able to score two tickets to the World Series.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: That's what I was going to guess, actually. Yes, he's
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: a Milwaukee Brewers fan.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: He's been a fan his entire life, and he's going
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to see him play in the World Series.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: B and buyer stands for brew crew.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I was going to say brewers.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: And then I wanted to say brew crew.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: You changed it up in the middle?
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I got scared halfway through it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Because brew crew is hard to say quickly, right? All right,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox, 877-99 on Fox. Taylor, what were you
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: saying in my headset during the update there?
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: It's just such a weird world we now live in
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: in college football where the news of the day in
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: college football is Oregon State star freshman wide receiver Jesse LeGray,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: who leads the nation right now in receiving yards and
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: touchdown catches. He has re-signed with the Beavers, who will
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: return to play there in 2027.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: It's a 10-year deal.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Like halfway done with the season this year.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Resigned.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: He has no idea who's going to be on that
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: team next year. He has no idea who's quarterback is
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: going to be next year.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: You know what? 18 years old. You're offering me how
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: many millions?
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I'm coming back. I'm going to stay right here. Let's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: take a call here and then we'll, we'll talk some NBA.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Trent. Who's in Virginia. Trent, go ahead.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: You're on Fox sports radio.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: Hey guys, thanks for taking the call. I'll say, I
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: think almost as fun as watching Caleb Williams play is
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: the amount of times the broadcast cut to Ben Johnson's
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: face because he just was professionally pissed off. And no
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: matter if the bears are giving up a 48 yard
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: touchdown or drilling a 58 yard field goal, the guy
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: has the exact same look on his face. And as
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: you see, like it's a holding call and you see
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: him cussing out his players, dropping F bombs, demands a
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: national treasure. And then a quick side note, It has
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: been almost nine years, but I feel like every bears broadcast,
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: they just have the double doink video ready.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Oh yes. Always ready. They had a doink situation last night,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: but they'll never have the double doink again.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, it's so funny. Nobody hits a gold
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: pose quite like that franchise. But Ben Johnson, he must
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: save all the personality for the postgame locker room because
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: he's an animal in the postgame locker room. He's doing
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: shirtless stuff. He's doing the stanky leg. That guy seems
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: fun as long as he's not on the sideline.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: He should just be smiling like Indiana fans, football fans.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: They have no reason to be upset. He has the
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: greatest quarterback in the game, and I think that's a
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: good way of describing Caleb Williams, the way Trent did.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I think he's the most fun watch, individually, watch, in
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: all of sports. I just love watching him play the
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: game of football in the position of quarterback.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Taylor.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: We had a moment in last night's game where I
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: think Ben Johnson started to feel Ben Johnson himself a
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: little as everybody's like saying, oh, Ben Johnson's this great
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: play caller. I don't know if you guys saw the
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: play early in the first half where Caleb Williams drops
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: back and instead of handing it off to the running back.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: He hands it forward to his offensive lineman, and Joe
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Thune gets the ball, and he runs it for like
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: two yards, barely gets anything, and then it's a penalty
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: because you can't hand the ball forward like that. And
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: then they asked Ben Johnson about it after the game,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: and he said, shoot or shoot. We shot and we missed.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Keep it moving.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Listen, at Ben Johnson's Thanksgiving table, the first thing he
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: will be thankful for is Caleb Williams. That should be
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: the first thing, more.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: So than his own kids if he has any, because
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: he's As somebody who likes to draw up plays for
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: flag football, there's nothing more infuriating when you've got a
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: banger of a play and do not have the personnel
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: that can run it for you. And it looks like
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: a mess when you're out there doing it. It's just like, no, no,
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: trust me, that's.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: A great play. Yes.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Taylor, put it on the poll. Is Ben Johnson more
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: thankful for Caleb.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Williams than he is his own kids? Also put on
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: the poll, does he have any kids? Awesome. That too. Also,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: if he does have kids, does he love Kayla Williams
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: more than his kids?
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Izzy, the fact that Ben Johnson even came up with
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: this play, it is laughable because you think of some
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: coaches around the NFL. Like I have Mike McCarthy in
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh sweating over the fact of trying to come up
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: with a game plan, trying to navigate a way for
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: the Steelers to score 20-plus points. And then you have
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Ben Johnson with his feet kicked up in his office
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: in Chicago saying– Let's hand it off to our left guard.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Shooter, shooter is great.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: You're going to have to help me out with this one.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I forget the team that it was. I don't even
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: know if it was college or pro, but somebody had
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: a tight end or maybe even a receiver lined up
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: right in the middle of the offensive line, but just
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: off of the line. So it was still an eligible
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: receiver and just ran out a quick little corner route
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: and was wide.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Open because nobody's trying to cover the offensive linemen.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: That's the type of stuff that's what makes football the
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: most fun to me.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: If you don't have.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: a team full of ridiculously fast players out in the
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: field or ridiculously quick players like Tyreek Hill that makes
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: you sort of makes your jaw drop. I want to
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: see some, some interesting plays from these very thoughtful offensive coordinators.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Ben Johnson has three kids. Okay.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: So Caleb's at least, I mean, if he's not on
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: top of that list, he's like, he's got to have
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: a couple of kids.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: He doesn't like as much as well. He should name
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: one of his kids, Caleb. I mean, rename them, change up.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: There's Declan Doyle too. Is he a couple of weeks ago? Okay.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: We're the left guard.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: What team is that?
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: The Ravens against the Browns.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: The other thing, that terrible play happened to Patriots. They
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: get a touchdown in the final play of the first half,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: and then Ben Johnson's coming out at halftime, and they
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: get a minute with him on the sidelines, and they're
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: asking him about that play. How'd you deal with it?
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Did you talk to your team about it? And he's like,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: what play? He's a goldfish. Izzy, you were out, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: after the opening night of the NBA Wednesday, I had
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: my top five teams in the NBA through one game.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Even though not everybody had played. It was unfair to
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the Cavs. They hadn't played yet.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: It was close against Philadelphia on the road last night,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: but Philly had the last laugh, and Philly is still
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: my number one team in the NBA through two games
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: for them and one game for everyone else.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Okay. Yes. Yeah, the Sixers... I.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Don't know if this is just like a confirmation bias
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: because I thought about this going into the season. Like,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: I don't think they're the, there might be the most
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: boring super team ever assembled. Like, if you think about
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: it in this way, like, I don't know if you've noticed,
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: but the Joel Embiid has some very like washed moments.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Like there's moments that he just like you would think
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: because he lost some weight, a little bit more agile,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: can sort of really show off his, you know, all
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: the goods. But he just there's a couple of plays
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: every game so far that it just looks like he
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: forgot how to play basketball.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: But, you know, there is the part of the intrigue is. Yes,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Jalen Brown is on this team now, which is more
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: of a storyline intrigue than it is just flat out,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: I want to watch that dude play basketball. Because even
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: though he's got a lot of ability, he's in a
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: dunk contest in the past, he can be a showman
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: of a basketball player, but he's just not. He doesn't
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: really play that way. Like I said, Joel Embiid, even
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: when he isn't looking washed, is not somebody that's just like, Oh, wow.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: I can't believe he's doing this. It's just like, OK,
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: that's regular basketball.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Not aesthetically pleasing. Yes.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: 41 year old LeBron James is not the same as
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: watching 25 year old LeBron James. It's entirely different. In fact,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: it made me sad. Now, it's impressive that he can
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: play the center position.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: But it made me sad watching him get into drop coverage.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: He was the big and he's falling back and drop coverage.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: For every point of his career up until maybe when
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: he turned 40, it's, hey, I'm switching everything because I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: LeBron bleeping James. Now he's like going back and drop coverage.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: It just makes me sad. The two most entertaining things
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: about this team, and one of them will be all season,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: is Tyrese Maxey.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: He's great.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: His quickness is, you know, his love for the game
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: jumps off the screen. And the second one is Vijay Edgecombe.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: But they're using this guy with this tremendous athleticism as
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: basically like a spot up shooter and dirty work guy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: And it just doesn't really lend itself to watching some great,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: you know, athleticism from him. And so I just watch
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: the games and I'm just like so far, eh, not
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: that fun to watch.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Izzy, going back to that Tyrese Maxey point. I'm not
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: sure anybody would put Tyrese Maxey in the top 10
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: conversation right now in the NBA.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Is he, mate?
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: But is it crazy to say that this feels like
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: it's Tyrese Maxey's team?
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm saying this going into the year.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Not only because of him being in the best position, right?
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Probably entering, if not in his prime, on the team
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: that he is very familiar with. That makes him different
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: than Joel Embiid, who's probably on the back end. Makes
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: him different than Jalen Brown, who's coming in trying to
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: fit in and not a new team. Obviously, same thing
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: with LeBron on.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: The very edge of his career.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: This should be Tyrese Maxey's team, per se, without, you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: saying that, right? He doesn't have to have the ball
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: in his hands all the time. The usage rate doesn't
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: have to be as high, maybe. But it's still, when
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: things matter, he is the guy that probably has the
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: greatest advantage. And if you remember last year, he came
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: out like a house on fire, which I'm not really
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: sure why that makes any sense.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: You know, another phrase is cleaning clocks. Yeah.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: Why is the cleaning of a clock something like did
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: people walk around with dirty clocks all the time? It's
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: just like, I'm going to clean your clock. Like, I
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: don't understand why that means you're beating somebody up. But anyway,
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: I do think Tyrese Maxey, yeah, to your point, should
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: be the guy that produces the most for this team
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: early on.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: You say what you said about LeBron James, and I
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: understand it's– listen, LeBron at 25 is LeBron at 25,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: one of the all-time greats, one of the most athletic
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: players we've ever seen play any sport. But I give
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: LeBron credit, A. his willingness to do.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: The little things and things that, you know, a lot
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: of superstars wouldn't do. And then just the ability to.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Be 41 and still playing at this level where last
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: night it's 17 points, nine rebounds.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Had a bunch of assists. He's listen, he's great.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I'm stating the obvious, but not many players are willing
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: to go from as great as LeBron was to being
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: like a third or fourth wheel on a basketball team.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: You know, so to clean your clock clock has been
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: slang for the human face. So the phrase likely comes
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: from boxing referencing the face of a clock.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Huh? I'm more confused now than I was before.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: I watch these period pieces of all these shows, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: they didn't use this language back then.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: So it's like, I don't really understand. I don't get it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Period pieces?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: If you tell me you've got a great period piece
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: for me to watch, I'm not watching it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: What if it's about the old Yankee Stadium, though?
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: That's a good point.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: I'm fascinated by how things actually operated like in the
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: early 1900s. You're going to tell me it was like
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: a coin flip for women to have children if they
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: survive it because doctors didn't really know what they were doing.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Like that to me is fascinating.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, maybe not a coin flip, maybe a five
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: sided coin, but still a lot more dangerous to have
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: children back then.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Wait, so can I hear the origins of clean your
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: clock again? Just one more time, because I'm not certain
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I understand it.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: So the phrase likely comes from boxing and 19th to
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: 20th century American slang. Clock has been slang for the
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: human face, referencing the face of a clock since the
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: 19th century.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: All right. It still doesn't make sense. While you're at it, though,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: a tough road to hoe. Give me the origin.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Somebody dropped that the other day, and I was just like,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: I've never hoed a road.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: In my life.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know what makes it difficult and why that's
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: a saying.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox. You have it, Taylor, already?
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it comes from 19th century American farming. Using a
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: hoe to clear weeds or chop through hard, rocky soil
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: in a long crop row was exhausting. Back-breaking labor.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I would imagine any road would be a tough hoe. Nah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, some roads are smooth. Some roads, you know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I mean— Yeah, after they hoed it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I-95 down here in Miami is a tough
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: road to hoe, right? But the Turnpike, not nearly as difficult.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: You've got to go further back.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: The actual creation of the road is what we're talking about.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Period piece yeah then that road's not no ho no
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: mo i don't know what to do here what.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Deserve the better fate uh 877 99 on fox 877
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: you brought up something interesting is he yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: And we'll get to some Tyson stuff, and we'll get
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: to some more NBA. But The Caller brought up something interesting,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: just how fun it is to watch Caleb Williams.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: That is a guy, like, throughout sports, are there guys
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: that aren't on your team? That you enjoy watching them
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: so much that you'll go out of your way to
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: watch them.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: For me, it was Allen Iverson. I love watching Iverson
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: just play the game of basketball. And Caleb Williams has
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: a similar effect on me. I mean, there's a lot
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: of guys.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: There's two names that for whatever, three, for whatever reason
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: just jump to mind right away. One of them is
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: in college football, and it was only college football. And
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: that was Johnny Manziel.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: When Johnny Manziel, like when he first came onto the scene,
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: it was just like, I just really want to watch
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: that dude play football. I don't know if he's going
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: to be a great pro or not, but he's super
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: entertaining and you don't know really what he's going to
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: do next.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Johnny football.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: And then the other two, I think they happen to
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: be from the same draft class.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: It was... Jason White Chocolate Williams.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: And Vince Carter. Vince Carter. So much fun.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Both of those guys, like at any point during, I
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: remember that was probably my peak as an adult sports
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: center watching phase.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Because anytime they were going to show Sacramento Kings highlights,
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: I'm like, it's because of Jason Williams. I need to
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: see this if I didn't actually see the game. And
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: then Vince Carter, man, like it's just any given play
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: could turn into just a jaw dropping feat of athleticism.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: And.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: You know, he had the abilities probably in terms of
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: skill set to be the greatest to ever do it.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: And early on, it was just so much fun to watch.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: the nation. Catch all of our shows at FoxSportsRadio.com. And
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: within the iHeartRadio app, search FSR to listen live.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: There's no time like October, and this is what it's
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: all been for. The World Series is here, streaming live
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: on Fox 1. It's the Brewers versus the Rays, and
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: there's nothing left to save it for. This is the
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: biggest stage in baseball at the moment. Every team plays
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: for all season long, every pitch, every swing, every walk-off.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: This is history happening live, and you don't want to
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: catch it after the fact. Catch the Brewers versus the
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Rays live on Fox 1. There's no time like October,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: and there's no bigger stage than the World Series, streaming
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: live on Fox 1.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about the series, Iz?
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: You know, I hope it goes seven only because I
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: believe game seven is on Halloween.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Was that necessary?
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I also hope the WNBA finals go seven because game
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: seven would also be on Halloween.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: And it would probably be the two least watched game
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: sevens ever because it's on Halloween.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: There, we talked baseball.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: That concludes our baseball coverage until Jeff Passan joins us.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I've got the brains in six. Do you really?
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Baseball sound effect?
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I got the Brewers in seven. How about that? Wow.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I was saying what was happening there during the break?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: You were telling us that people were calling in. What
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: were they objecting to?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: What happened?
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: So you guys were talking about a couple of what
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: are they called?
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: Colloquialisms? Idioms.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Idioms.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: OK, whatever.
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: Whatever it's called. What was the first one? I. The
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: first one was, oh, well, clean your clock, right? So
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: a couple of callers called in to voice their displeasure
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: over the fact you guys were Misconstruing. It's actually a
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: tough road.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. No, it's a tough road to hoe. I
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: almost did it myself.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: You see?
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Because you know why?
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: It's a farming reference.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: I was shocked to hear that because nobody has ever
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: said it correctly. It's the same way when you say
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: the horse chomping at the bit and it's actually champing
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: at the bit because horses champ.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Nobody says that right.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: And therefore, that's why I've been wrong my entire life
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: with a tough road.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: To hoe is because nobody's ever said row. They always
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: say road.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: Do you know why they say road? Probably because it's
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: a tough row, and then you say two, so you
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: might think road, like to hoe.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's exactly why.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Way to break it down.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Iowa Sam. That's exactly why that's happened, but
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: that happened such a long time ago that nobody knew
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: that it was actually row. People have been saying road
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: to hoe since at least I've been born, so since 1977.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, but I was wondering why people would make that mistake,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: and Iowa Sam just cleared it up.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Road to hoe.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: To hoe, yeah. So it's tough road to hoe. Tough
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: road to hoe.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Damn it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Like a row of crops, you know.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Do you need Iowa Sam to explain it again? Yes.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: As a former farmer, I can relate to that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, I used a hoe a lot to clean weeds
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: out of rows of agriculture.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you clarified. But now he don't use hoes
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: no more. So is he... I'm sorry. Izzy shocked me
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: the other day because he has watched the watch the
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Tyson documentary. I still haven't watched it, but you gave
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: us a great story from the Tyson documentary that he
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: was partying with Bobby Brown the night before all night
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: before he lost to James Buster Douglas.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And it's one of our poll questions. We'll find out.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: what the results were towards the end of the show here.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: But you have more from the Tyson doc. Well, it's
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: just first of all, I thought it was very well done.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I wish I would have been able to give this
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: person credit, but I didn't actually look up who did it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: But it was very well done. It was artistically very
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: well done. I thought even though, you know, the most
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: interesting parts to me were to. Sort of remind me
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: of the things that were happening when I was a
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: teenager where maybe I didn't pay full attention to. And
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: there was a lot of things that I learned on
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: the doc. And so you get to it. It's a docuseries.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: So get to the last episode. And I'm thinking, oh,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: this is going to be the least interesting one because
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: it's going to be the post-career one. It's going to
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: be the one that I know pretty much everything about.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I was wrong.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: And this isn't really a spoiler because you need to
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: actually see it to understand why I think this was
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: so well done or why it was so good.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Right. But, Stu, he did DMT on camera. You know
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: what DMT is? No.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: DMT is a drug. It's a hallucinogenic, I want to say.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: It's supposed to— I think it's called— I forget what it's called.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: It's something in it that you experience that only comes
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: out of the human brain when somebody passes away. And
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: so that you consume that and it's just they say
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: you like pass out for, you know, 20 minutes. But
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: it feels like, you know, several hours and it feels
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: like just life changing stuff.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: And he did that on camera with somebody. And it
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: was just it was wild to see.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: You have no idea what's going on in his brain,
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: although he did a little bit of sleep talking there.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: At some point.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: But it's crazy that he not only that he does
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: that as often as he does, which is I think
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: he says hundreds of times or more than 100 times.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Which is crazy. But the fact that they just that
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: he was willing to do it on camera and just
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: be that vulnerable and have people watch it. Because you
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen when you're in that situation.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: That is that comfortable.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: I don't want people looking at me when I'm drunk
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: or recording me when I'm under the influence of alcohol
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: or high on weed or whatever. But on Dia, it
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: was insane to watch. And again, I just highly recommend it.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: So how do you feel when you wake up? You
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: pass out. It's odd to take something that would just
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: make you pass out.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: I've never taken it.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: It's intimidating to me, like the idea that I don't know.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: What I'm going to see. I'm asking you like you're
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: an expert.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Izzy, the director of the Tyson doc is Floyd Russ,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: executive producer. Bill Simmons.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yes, we love Bill. I'm going to give Floyd
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: more credit than Bill.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the 30 for 30s.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, we love all things Bill Simmons. We do.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Mike Tyson talk. That's a good idea. Congratulations, Bill. So
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: you get paranoid when you get stoned.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: No.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I do, too. I don't want anyone looking at me.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I'm the same way. Well, I mean, I've stopped smoking,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: but currently— When I used to. Back when I used to. No,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I very rarely get paranoid.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: If I was ever stoned in public, it would just be,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: just leave me alone kind of feeling.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like I'm not worried about what people are
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: looking at.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I asked that question in follow-ups about Tyson
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and how it felt when you wake up because I'm interested.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, go ahead and do it. Let me know
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: if that changes Stugatz forever.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Izzy hands me a list of topics. He did so
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I didn't get to it. I still have
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: that same list. One of the topics on Tuesday, which
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: he still wants to talk about today, is Josh Allen's butt.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Is that what you wrote down?
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: That's the way I experienced what it is that you
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: wrote down, yes. Yeah, no, I mean, I could talk
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: about it, but no.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: It's more of Tracy Wolfson patting him on the butt,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: which I don't know if you caught that.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Tracy Wolfson, now my hero.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: It was after their last game, and they're just doing
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: the postgame, and she's like, okay, well, go enjoy it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: And you can see in the back where she's just
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: swinging and tapping him on the behind, and I'm just like,
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: have I ever done that?
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Would I ever do that specifically? Would I ever do
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: that to a football player? Yeah.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: And I don't know, it got a lot of attention,
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: but I didn't actually hear a reaction from people. I
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: don't know if they were just like, well, that's unprofessional
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: and being all straight, you know, buttoned up or they're
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: just like.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Heck yeah, Trace. It's like that a boy.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Right. Kind of. It's been done to me and I've
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: done it to others.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: No, again, I'm fine with that. The whole idea of it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: But After an NFL game. I don't know. It's a
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: little weird to me. But, again, salute to her. Is
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: it odd if I tell you that the person who
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: did it to me was Cliff Floyd? In a bathroom. Whoa. Just,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: you know, it was bathroom conversation. I said something. I
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: got to go back. I think we were at a
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: radio station. I said, I got to go back. I
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: got to hustle. I got to get back. The segment's
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: going to start. He said, that a boy, and he
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: gave me a little tap on the fanny.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: It was a good conversation.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Actually, it was the first time I ever got confirmation
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: that I had written a decent story. I was still
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: in college. I was writing for The Alligator, and I
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: had written a story on, you know, Teddy DuPay.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: You remember that name, right? Of course, yeah. That's Florida.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and so the story had come out, and I
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: was covering practice that day, and they were leaving practice,
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: and he just goes- Good story.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Tap me on the ass. And the rest of the
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: reporters are just like, hey, that is quite the compliment.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: I think it was something I was telling a story
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: about Cliff Floyd. Yes, it was a compliment towards Cliff Floyd,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: which is why I did it. I don't think he
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: does it willy nilly. You know what?
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: I think Tracy needs to do that more often.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: So do I. I'm with you on that. So you
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: were okay with it? Oh, yeah. No, 100%. You were
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: just surprised more people weren't okay with it?
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: I was just confused because I didn't really understand what
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: the reaction was. Were there people getting upset by it?
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: Were there people just saying, hey, shoot your shot? I
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: don't know what they were saying. But it just made
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: me think, yeah, that's something you don't see every day.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Izzy, a strange way for you to receive praise. The
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: strangest way I ever received praise, I was at a Miami,
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: North Carolina game right here in Hard Rock Stadium, and
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: I'm doing a stand-up, and next to me doing the stand-up,
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: is Will Manso. And Will Manso is as buttoned up,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: polished as a sideline reporter gets, and he's waiting to
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: go live. I'm just pre-taping my segment. So I'm doing
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: my standup. I finished the standup and Will Manso turns
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: to me. He goes, I have to tell you, You
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: are great for a college kid. And I didn't have
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: the heart to tell him I was.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: 27 years old.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: But a young 27.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: That is a great compliment. I've actually, I think I've
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: heard that story before from you, Taylor.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: I see it. I say it every time I see
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Will Mantel. That was just like.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: When you read these really long promos going into breaks
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: and there's no other sound around you. That right there,
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: what you said you were doing was doing a video
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: into a camera that you know is not live. which
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: means you know you can mess up.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: You'll just start over again. The loneliest feeling in the world.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I always screwed those up.
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: There must have been people back in the truck in
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: the ESPN days. It's like, Jesus Christ, this guy can't
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: get one thing correct. Like, how is he on camera live?
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: There's something different when the camera's on and it's live
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: than when the camera's not live.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: It's just like, I just feel like I'm talking to nobody.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: A loneliness. Yes. Now I'm starting to think if it
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: was Cliff Floyd. I mean, I've never told the story
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: before and I'm debating. Was it Preston Wilson? No. I
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: don't know. You know what? Let's stick with Cliff Floyd
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: and let's not get you in trouble. I know, but
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: I don't want Cliffy to get mad at me. Why
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: would he get mad? And I have no idea if
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: I have any sort of right to call him Cliffy.
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Listen, I know Cliff Floyd and Preston Wilson. I covered
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: them both on the 2000 Marlins. It was definitely Cliff Floyd.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, he does that. Preston Wilson's not that friendly, not
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: that chummy.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Taylor, Izzy was, I don't know if he was poking fun.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: He had some thoughts here on the Knicks ring ceremony.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: It was the greatest night of Taylor's life. So great
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: that he got mad at Brian Cashman the next day.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I was listening to Ike in the update, and
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: it made so much sense because, Taylor, did you experience
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: this when you were watching the ring ceremony? They had
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: these former Nick Greats, right, or relatives of former Nick Greats.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: From the last championship team.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, from the last championship team. Hand the assistants the
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: box with presumably the ring inside. But none of the
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: assistants actually opened the box. It was just, here's a box,
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: go sit down and give me an awkward hello.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: And we're now learning that there was nothing in the box.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: What's in the box? How could a team that has
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: been waiting so long for one of these ceremonies screw
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: up the ceremony? They had time to prepare. Yeah.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: I would have had a blueprint for this entire thing
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: exactly how I wanted it to go. Did somebody just
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: not order the rings in time?
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Is that what happened?
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: It's just very confusing. But it's good to know that
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: it confirms what I believe. There was something odd there.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: And the odd thing is, oh, there was no ring.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Stu, you know I don't want to say anything bad
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: about James Dolan because James Dolan has all the technology
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: in the world to make sure I never– get in
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Madison square garden again. Yes. But if somebody were to
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: say something bad about James, again, this is not me
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: saying something bad.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: You love James.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: I love James Dolan. Some people would say maybe he
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: was not planning on buying any assistance rings. Those rings
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: were only going to be for players on the team
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: players that scored baskets in those games, because you also
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: had the fishing email that was disguised as a championship
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: ring offer to where Joe Schmoe in ticket sales gets
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: an email saying, Hey, Let us know what size your
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: ring is. Click this link. And then all of a sudden,
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: if he clicks the link, they're sitting him down for
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: a mandatory cybersecurity class.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Cybersecurity. Talk about a letdown.
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you can go from one high
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: to such a low class on cybersecurity.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Kill me now. So you're saying if anyone could.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: What are you saying exactly that James Dolan did not
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: buy championship ring for the assistant coaches?
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: So I'm not saying it, but if people wanted to
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: criticize James Dolan today, I would say that those people
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: would say James Dolan has an ability, a rare ability,
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: to where even when he wins, he somehow loses, and
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: he can't get out of his own way to look
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: like an incompetent owner.
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: That's not me saying it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: You love James Dolan. You love the Mecca. You love
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. You even love his band.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that stupid kazoo he has.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: But you're saying he tried to trick the assistants by
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: giving them an empty box? Yeah.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Do not open.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: What if they made the box so difficult to open
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: that the assistants never actually found out that it wasn't
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: in there.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Because they couldn't open it?
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: And James swears there's a ring in there. If he
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: can get it open, that's next level. Chestnut checkers.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that he didn't buy
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: his assistants a ring, though. I mean, listen, I work
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: for the Marlins.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: When they won their second World Series, I got a ring.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: I was slinging tickets in the ticket office. How much
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: you get for it? like 12 grand.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah that thing was up for sale the next day what.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: Was facebook marketplace before facebook marketplace because that thing got
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: flipped on the black market.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah that pawn shop not black market just down the.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Street izzy it's interesting just going back to the nba
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: here for a second and the sixers best team in
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the league through two games um but jaylen brown who
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: went there to get away from Jason Tatum, to be
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: a No. 1, is not a No. 1. He's playing
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: a role there, playing it well, and he's going to
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: have to continue playing that role because Maxie's their No.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: 1 offensive option, I think. Should be.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And maybe Embiid's second, and Brown might be third, second
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: or third, LeBron fourth. But it's interesting to see Jalen
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Brown embrace it the way he has.
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: To me, I think the most interesting— this is the part
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: about his move that wasn't the best for him, right? Because, yes,
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: he went to a team— That gets all the attention that,
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: you know, is expected to make the NBA finals, maybe
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: even win a championship. But it doesn't let him sort
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: of get off what he wants to get off, which is, hey,
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: I'm the man.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: Watch me do this. He's going to have to, for
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: the most part, play a role.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: But I just love what's happening between what's sort of
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: being exposed between him and Jason Tatum that like. Throughout
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: their time together or throughout his time in the league,
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: Jason Tatum has felt like sort of a disingenuous dude,
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: like nothing is actually him. He's just copying other people.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Or what have you.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: And then now we have we had this one video
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: that was posted or Jason Tatum's talking about how he
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: was upset when when Jalen Brown got traded, blah, blah, blah.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: And in the comments, you've got Jalen Brown with the
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: blue cap emoji saying, that's a lie. And man, am
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: I here for that battle between those two. I would
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: watch that game the same way when I was there,
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: but the same way I would have watched LeBron going
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: back to Cleveland. I want to see those two because
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Jalen Brown is going to absolutely own Jason Tatum.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know how. I don't know if it's words.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a basketball. But he's going
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: to own Jason Tatum, and I'm here for it. You
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: love the pettiness, the petty arguments that you seem to
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: find mostly in the NBA.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: I love the petty arguments, specifically when they're targeted at
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: Jason Tatum. There's just something about him. We've been through
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: this before. There's some unlikable characteristic about him.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: November 10th. Celtics, Sixers, get your popcorn ready. That's an
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: official get your popcorn ready game.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a thousand percent. The unlikable thing is he seems fake, right?
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Seems fake. Seems everything is just not really him, even
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: though his hairline is real.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: There's no time like October, and this is what it's
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: all been for. The World Series is here, streaming live
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: on Fox One. Rays versus Brewers, baseball's biggest stage. Stream
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: it live on Fox One.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Our thanks to Jeff Passon for joining us. Izzy stepped
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: out there because he's not into this World Series. One
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: of the things that Jeff Passon told us before we
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: wrap up the week with the poll questions, that's who
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: got 790.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: On X.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Passon told us he closed down a bar at Milwaukee
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: last night. And if you stay until closing, which is
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: 2 a.m., they give you a sign saying you closed
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: down the bar on the way out. It's like a
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: prize at the end of the night because you made it.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: But at some point in the evening, Izzy, someone who
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: works with Passin leaned over to him and said, hey, Jeff,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: you're the oldest guy in this bar at this point.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: And I'm wondering if that's something he should be proud
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: of or ashamed of.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: Well, that's, you know, it's funny because it just reminds me,
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know if she'd be proud or ashamed.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: I also don't know how old he is.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: Like, how old is Jeff Passin that he's the oldest guy?
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Is this a college bar?
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: He's 46.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: But he's a young guy.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: He looks good for 46. He really does, yes.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: And based on, you know, head and shoulder shot that
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: I see. I mean, I'm 40. But Taylor, I don't
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: know if you've been to this place. Probably not. It's
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: right by where you live. It's called the Palm Room.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: I was there the other night and I had no
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: idea what kind of. Bar this was. It ends up
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: being a little bit nightclub ish, but it's just basically
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: ends up being like a really packed bar. And it
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: just there was a moment that just brought me into
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: back to my like very angry 20s. Not that I
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: was always angry, but just sometimes. But, you know, this
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: one pair of guys were like walking by and they
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: happened to step on Anthony's shoes and it was really annoying.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: And I was just like, you know, just making sure
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: that they were on their way.
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: And the one guy looks at me, and after he
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: gets pissed off and tells me to F off, and
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: I'm just like, okay, I'm not going to get into
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: a fight at a bar.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not really 20. He looks at me, he goes...
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: You look like you're 40. And I'm just like, you

• 50:22
  Speaker 4: GM got fired. Chris Ballard.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Yes.

  Speaker 3: Or the head coach. Well, maybe.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: The GM selects all the players. He's the first guy

  Speaker 4: Anyway, yes, he should have been fired. 95.7% of the

• 51:14
  Speaker 5: but the fact that he's so athletically talented that he
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: can pretend to fall down just so a quarterback can
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: throw it.

  Speaker 3: Such a good bait and switch. Absolutely. ridiculous level of athleticism.
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Are they going to keep using him on offense as

  Speaker 3: much as they did last game or in London? Right.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: You think it was just a London exclusive?

  Speaker 3: too much.
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: I'm firmly on the side of it being a board

  Speaker 5: game because it's sold in the board game aisle.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, but is it?
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: Gojo's argument was if you told him, let's go play

  Speaker 3: Wow.

  Speaker 4: Last poll question. Big one for me here. Did Disney

  Speaker 4: only become the most magical place on Earth after they
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: tore down the old Yankee Stadium?
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, because before then, the old Yankee Stadium was the
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: most magical place on Earth. Is it the most magical?
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: I thought it was the happiest place on Earth. I
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: think it is the happiest place on Earth.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: Now there's some debate because Ricardo's saying it's the happiest,
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: but I'm almost positive it's the most magical.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe you're thinking of Magic Kingdom. Yes, it's the happiest
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: place on Earth. It is.
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: Is that Disney World or Disneyland?
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, stop it. Disneyland is just so much better for me.

  Speaker 3: It's so much smaller. Everything's more accessible.
• 57:54
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: A little closer together. Yes.

  Speaker 4: 62.1% of the audience said yes, Disney only became the
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: most magical place on Earth after they tore down the
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: old Yankee Stadium.
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: The idea that the old Yankee Stadium was your Disney
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: at one point is absurd.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: You used to have season passes. Those are the polls.
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: Have a great weekend, everyone. Izzy, thanks for coming in.
