  Speaker 1: I wind up in the middays, and I started doing
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: it with my good buddy Sid Rosenberg.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys must have had an absolute plan. You
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: were with Sid when Sid was all over the place. Man, Yeah,

  Speaker 2: good with Sid's cool. Sid, He's nuts, He's good. I
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: don't sit a long time. I got I got only
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: good things to say about Sid with my experience. When
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: he said, but when you were working with Sid, I
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: mean you didn't you didn't know if he was showing
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: up every day, right, Sid was at the lowest point,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: kind of right in.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: The beginning, he was fine. You know, Sid had his demons,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. And I give him credit
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: because it seems like he's conquered him all now he's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: he's really doing a great job on ABC.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I know where he is.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: He's killing I said, I'm on with him a lot,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: which I appreciate him having me on, you know. Uh yeah,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I mean the first it actually happened twice. First he left,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I forget well, I don't want to get into what
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: hold of details were, but you told me Sid's in
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: reab and I did it alone for I don't know
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a number of months.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: I don't even remember that.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, Sid comes back and now we're together again,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and I'll give you the story and I'll never forget it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So it's opening day of the NFL season. I believe
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it was one of the years when the Jets did
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: not make the playoffs. On the Herman Edwards so I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: think it was. It must have been a three.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say two thousand and three.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And it was two thousand and three and it's opening
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: day and I'm getting ready to watch the Jets. I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: think they were playing the Chiefs that day or whatever.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And Sid was supposed to be doing the giant pregame
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: show right up in the Metal Lands. Well Sid doesn't
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: show up. Yeah, all right, and come to you know
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they would and again I don't want to get into it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: All.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Weren't they in Atlantic City?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: They were in Atlantic City. They were down there. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: guess Left was down there too, And I guess Sid
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: kind of went off the rails in Atlantic City. He
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: kind of went back to, you know, the kind of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: crap he was doing and all, you know, and then
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Sid would tell you, you know, Oh yeah, I get
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a call from Left. It's about twelve thirty. I'm getting
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: ready for the Jet game, one o'clock Jet Game right
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: opening day September. I get a call. I get a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: call from Left. He goes, it's all.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: The between God and Danielle and other forces in my
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: life and quite bacly my talent here. I am at
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: the very very top of our chain in this radio business.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: But that was my former partner Joe Bningo, who's now
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: on this show every week, who's not just a great
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: talk show host, but a dear loyal friend. And you
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: heard that he was on with a guy named Brandon Tierney.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I like Brandon to a lot. Brandon most recently did
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: the midday show at WPN with Salakata, Craig Carton came back,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: the fan went to Evan and Tiki. So Brandon is
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: doing his own podcast now and it's very good. I
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: recommend you guys check it out. It's called bet Unleashed
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: and Brandon's a real nice guy. And at one point me,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Brandon and Beningo all at the same agent, Mark Lofzelter.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: But what struck me when somebody sent me Kevin Canessa,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: my boy NeSSI when Kevin Coanessa sent me that audio yesterday,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: what struck me was how Beningo handled it. And what
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I mean by that is Brandon really wanted the gory details,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: which Bill o'rodley got from me last week. It's one
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: thing to get it from me, and I voluntarily did.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: It made for a great podcast. But you can tell
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: my buddy Joe was uncomfortable, didn't want to talk about it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Another that was really nice, I really did. That's what
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: struck me was up and Ngo was listen. He's doing
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: great now. I'm on his show all the time, the
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: guys at the top of the world, and I don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: want to get into it. So I just want to
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: tell you, Joseph that I thought the way you handled
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: that was really classy, showed your loyalty to me as
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: a dear friend of almost twenty five years, and I
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: appreciated it. Thank you very much.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know, I love you, bro, You know what
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I love you know. I really wish that, you know
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: it didn't work out for all those years, because we
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: would have had it, we would have had a kicking show.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: You know. I loved working WITHEV and it was great. Yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I always say, if you would and I would have
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: stayed together, you know, I would have been like the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: straight man to you, and that would now you're really
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: talking about something, you know what I mean, if I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: playing a straight man to you. So unfortunately didn't all
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: didn't go down that way. But we're all thrilled that
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you're you're kicking ass now, bro, God.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Blessed and you're part of this on this show every
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: week and you're still kicking ass. And yeah, a lot
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: of people really did think that Joe and Sid Sid
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and Joe would be the next Mike and the Mad Dog.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: But you know, Joseph, as I'm getting older and a
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: lot of people that I love and respect, friends and
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: people I know were dying, dying. We lost John Stoning
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: this week. The more I come to the realization I
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: want to get to, you know, philosophical and to cliche
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: in this conversation. But the more I'm coming to the
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: realization that God has a plan, and unfortunately it didn't
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: work out well for us because we could have been great,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: and we were great for two years. We were great.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: But here we are, twenty plus years later, still best
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: of friends and you're still killing it and I'm doing well.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: And I guess this was God's plan.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Right, I guess? So you know, is God's plans.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Always God's plan to make sure that the Knickerbockers get
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: back to the NBA Binals this year.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you man, you know I am. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: am excited for this team. I got a concern, though,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: and I fully expect that. Look, right now, they're clearly
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the best team in the Eastern Conference. There's no doubt
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: about it. I do not fear the Detroit Bistons that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the Cleveland Cavalies. But what happened last night that scares
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: me is og An Andobi went down with an injury.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Now I still don't know exactly what the deal is
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: with him. I've heard watching the postgame show, I've heard
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: it might be a hamstring something like that. But he's
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: been on. I mean, he's the he's the modern day
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Dave the Busher for this team. I mean, he's been
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: unbelievable both ends of the floor. He had a big
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: game again last night, and that concerns me. I have
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: to say, it really doesn't.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Because you'll need him to get by Detroit. We should
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: be Cleveland I don't all. You know, we'll see the
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: The lines in those games are somewhere between two and four.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: So Vegas seems to think that Cleveland will be competitive
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: even on the road, although Detroit did win by double
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: digits in Game one. But they'll need him in that
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: next round. And you know, you look at the job,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: for example, that auj did for Toronto and that seven
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: game loss to Cleveland in round one, and quickly those
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: guys are still very good players. But I think you
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: would agree that this turned out to be a great
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: trade for the Knicks.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Look, Leon Rose has done a spectacular job. You know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you never see the guy. Uh. He really took the
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Knicks out of the twenty year abyss that they were in,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and he made every movie's made. I mean your tires,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: starting lineups. It is not homegrown Nicks. I mean he
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: signs Jalen Brunston too a free agent contract turns out
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: to be one of the great free agent contracts and
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: history of sports. Forget about justin New York. He makes
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the jog ananob trade, like you said, for Barrett, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: quickly he makes the call Anthony Towns trade for and
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I love Dante di Vicenzo and Randall and look out
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: that's turning out. He steals Josh Hart from Portland. You
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: know he makes the Michale Bridges trade.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: That's the one. That's the one. Yeah, that's the one
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: that Stephen A. SMITHO, bro, Look.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: How he's played the last night. He was huge again
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: last night. Yes, I got the defense on Max Seed
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: that he played. Not to mention he scored eighteen points
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and hit a monster basket with the knicks up, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: clinging to a four point lead in the closing minutes
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: of the game last night, A you shot to put
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: him up six. You know you gotta look at that him.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Leon Rose has done a magnificent job with this team.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, and you know I'm gonna have Stephen A.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Smith on this show in about an hour. He's a
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: regular now. He likes to come on and talk politics.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: So he said, do me a favorite yet. Christopher madog
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Russo won yesterday, which I did, and Doggie and I
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: had a lot of fun talking about my new Yankees.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: But I said, I only want to talk politics when
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I come home with you. I enjoyed doing that like
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: you do occasionally. I said, okay, fine, Steve, but we'll
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: still talk about the Knicks. He hates the Bridges trade
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: because of all the draft choices. But you're right, he's
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: been great the last couple of games. And if Og
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: turns out to be a little more seriously injured than
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: we know at this point, then McHale will even be
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: more important. So you believe the nicker Bockers are on
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: the way to the Eastern Conference Finals?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think they look bro. If An and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Obi's healthy, there's no reason they shouldn't win the championship.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's be real.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, there was a reason it's called Oklahoma City.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, but I mean, you know everybody goes nuts about
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you know, I know Oklahoma City is tremendous. Okay, they're great.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they Bill Russell Celtics or the
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Michael Jordan Bowles, you know what I mean. I don't
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: know about that or the Magic Johnson Kareem Abdul Jabal Lakers.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I have not sold on that yet, Okay. So I'll
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: tell you. I look at this starting five that the
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Knicks have right now, Okay, And you know me, I've
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: been I've been I've been in Nick fan since nineteen
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: sixty two. I saw Richie Garren and Johnny Green play.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: People don't even know what these people are. Okay, all right,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: this is how far back I go to the old garden.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: My father used to take me to the double headers
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: that the NBA, believe it or not, NBA double headed.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: You see the Lakers Celtics in game one, and then
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the Knicks playing whoever in the next game. So I
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: go way way back with this team. Okay, this is
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the best starting lineup I've seen the Knicks have since
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: the championship teams. I mean Patrick Doing, you know, and
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: we love those teams, and they gave us a lot,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: give us a lot of aggravation, a lot of pain too.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: But you know they went to the finals a couple
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: of times. Patrick Ewing never had the starting lineup. This
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: team hasn't got no.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Not even close, I mean close. You had guys on
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: those teams that you loved. You loved Charles Oakley, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: loved Anthony Mason, and John Stark's at his moments where
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: he was a legitimate superstar, but he was not really
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: a superstar. I mean you could make the argument, as
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: you said, got to the NBA Finals twice, losing in
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: ninety four, of course, to the Rockets in ninety nine,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to San Antonio that Patrick Ewing never really played along
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: one all star, not one.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: No. And this team is guy. I mean, you got
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: how many guys can kill you on his team? Bro,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I mean yeah, you know, you look at this team,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: you can get beaten a lot of different ways. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: then you got to look at the bench too. I mean,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: all you know, they got a pretty good bench. You
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: look at McBride, you look at Clarkston, you know, obviously
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson. You know, I thought it was funny last night.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Mitch didn't play last night. To me, it was a
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: bigger deal because Carl Anthony Towns, who gets no breaks
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: from the officials at all, by the way, got an
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: early foul trouble and there's no Mitchell Robinson. And I
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: thought Mitchell Robinson being out was a bigger deal last
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: night than him beat being out for Philadelphia, to be
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: very honest about it. And you know, but you look
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: at that, you look at the bench, you know Alvarado,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you know, these guys, they got a deep team, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: they got a good team. They could win the championship.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Sid wow. And I keep saying this and again, we
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: need and it'll be healthy. But if they don't win
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: that where they win and sid you tell me if
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: they don't win a title this year, this team, when
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the hell are they winning one?
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: That's a fair question. That's a fair question of the
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: folks that don't know My dear friend Joe Bningo. For
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: him to say my team can win a championship would
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: almost be like Osama bin Laden going to a bar mitzvah, I.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Swear to God right, or maybe Mandami going to a
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: bar even worse.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: You're right, tell me about this Met team? You know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: of course I've switched allegiances. I was back at Yankee
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Stadium two nights ago. But look, the Mets have won
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: four out of five. They're playing much better baseball now.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: The team's a beat in that stretch of the La
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Angels and the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies maybe the worst
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: team in baseball. But are you feeling like this Met
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: team is starting to turn a corner or just beating
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: bad competition?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Well, look, you know you know what I like said,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know where they are. There's still eight games
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: under five hundred. I don't expect them to turn it
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: around and be, you know, make this big run to
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: the playoffs by any means. But here was what I'm
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: encouraged by is this kid costing Bench, who all of
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: a sudden is starting to hit. You got a couple
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: of big hits again last night, you had a home
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: run the other day. He's played outstanding defense. I'm really
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: getting excited, you know, watching him play. Vanos has started
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: to hit a little bit. You got a big game
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: for Marcus Simion last night. He went four to four,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: hit a two run home you know. I mean, look,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: they got to be better than the way that they played.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, do I expect this team to be a
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: playoff team. I don't not at all. But you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: at least you like the way they're playing. Like you said,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: they won four out of five, three in a row.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Now on this road trip. You know, Colorado killed them
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: last week. It's that he killed it, you know, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: double headed a squad one running in the two games,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: double had a Yeah. So they're getting better. But I'm
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: not getting I'm not getting crazy. But it's nice to see.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I always love this sid to see the homegrown guys
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: getting it done. And I love what I see from
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: benj and I don't know if Biantos is ever going
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: to really become a top hitter for this team. I
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: don't know. He's got his stretches late, but I don't
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: know about that. But at least it's nice to see
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: them playing competitive baseball.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Game sixty seconds. You mentioned Simeon and of course he
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: came to the Mets via the trade for Brandon Neimo,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: and I want to be the Yankees him playing Texas
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: the last two days. So Brandon Nimo is back in
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the Bronx, and I think Steve Cohen's gonna go see
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: him if he hasn't been there already in the Bronx,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: because he still loves him. But it's interesting that here's
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Neimo back in town and the Yankees. Look, they're not
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: gonna win every game. They finally lost yesterday. I didn't
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: like that matchup warn against the bildy. Texas had the
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: better pitching matchup today. Blackburn on the mound still not
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: one of the Yankee greats, but we are not far
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: away at this point, not far away from the Yankees
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: throwing out four game series. Cole Freed, Schlittler and Ron Don.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Who the hell is going to beat that team?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: No, I think they are clearly the best team in
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the American League. I mean it's not I mean, what
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: what is there what's in the American League right now
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: beside the Yankees. I think they clearly are. There's no
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: doubt about it. That rotation would be is going to
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: be off the charts. These guys all are healthy. Look,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, and they bobbed the Gram the other night.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: They had a couple of home runs. He had a
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: couple of bombs off of him. Uh, you know, look,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you're gonna he can't win every game. But they're clearly
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: the best team, best team in baseball, at least certainly
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: in the American League. There's no question about it. You know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: it's funny everybody got on Brian Cashman on Yankees didn't
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: do anything. All they did was bring back Bell and
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: jill it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: They didn't really have.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: To do too much, you know what I mean, that's true.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: You know, they got a hell of a team many Yankees.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I I fully expect them. Look, you never own the playoffs.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Obviously they're gonna be in the playoffs. You never own
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. But I fully them to see them in
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: a World Series.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I do totally agree and there's how to get healthy.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: And even Chris Russo, who hates the Yankees, hate them,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: maybe even more than you, said on this show yesterday
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: that he thinks if this Yankee team stays healthy, they
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: can beat the Dodgers.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah why not? I look, I mean, I look, I
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: mean the Dodgers that do Man, you know they're gonna
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: win three in a row. I mean I guess they could,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I give the Yankees a real shot to
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: win it all. You know, I really do it, And
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: look I hope they do, only for so Aaron Judge
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: can get that, you know, can get that off his back.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And finally, because he's one of the all time great,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: oh god, the all time great players. Yeah, but he
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: needs that championship. He does, you know what I mean.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: So he did a home run every day, another one yesterday,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: number fifteen, and he does need that championship, especially when
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: you play for a Yankee team that's won twenty seven.
• 14:51
