  Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's Radio Night Live with a new week.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: And Linda Perillo is here. Kevin McCullough. It's Tuesday night.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: We talk travel and other various things. The problem for
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: me on Tuesdays and Fridays is that my co-hosts, Christine
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Nicholas and Linda Perillo, are maybe two of the most
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: ardent Yankees fans that live. So when we get into
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: October and the Yanks don't do well, We're doing a
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: show the next day. It is a mess. So let's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: let's hear it, Linda. I know you got a lot
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to unload today about the Yankees.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, guess what?
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I got a gig writing for the Daily News monthly column. Right.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Um and they're op-eds so I decided to start with
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: baseball and I started writing a column about the Yankees
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: and how even though I am the most probably die-hard
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Yankee fan you'll ever meet in your life the Yankees
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: no matter what they do they have not won a
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: world series since 2009 and everyone is still like oh
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: my god the Yankees But even these players.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: That get traded to the Yankees are like, oh, my God,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I made it. You haven't won a World Series since 2009, okay?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: But we still think that they are the most amazing, classiest, like.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Just incredibly gifted.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Outfit in baseball.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: But if anybody watched them play last night in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: fourth or fifth inning.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: You would be embarrassed.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: And quite frankly, I'm very angry at the Yankees because...
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: We should be doing way better than what we're doing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: The mistakes are just beyond.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: They can't hit.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: The only person that can hit on that team right
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: now is Ben Rice. That's it. He's the only guy
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: on that bench that has been producing runs.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Two home runs last night, two home runs the Monday night,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I think it was.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: That was it. Oh, and guess what? We don't have
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. Well, guess who tanks every postseason anyway? Doesn't matter.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And then you've got people like John Carlos Stanton.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Aaron Boone brings out John Carlos Stanton in the ninth inning.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: This guy hasn't played a game since April 26th, but
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you put him in the most pinch clutch position.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: They were down by one run and.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: He put, it's like, it's like going into the crowd
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: saying anybody, anybody, anybody like.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Jackie Mason will go. Anybody, anybody want to play? You
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: want to play? Or where's Michael Phelps? Phelps, you're a
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: good athlete. Like here, I'm going to give you a bat.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Like what's really funny. And I just, for those of
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you that listen every night, you know, you know what
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say here. What's really funny is that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: on Friday night, Christine and I had Marty Appel, who's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the Yankees historian. He's been with them forever. And he's doing,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you know, all the inside of all the history and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: everything else. And we had Tracy Neporin, who's about the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: same equivalent for the Mets. And Marty was feeling pretty
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: good about going into this series. Now, that was Friday
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: before these two games had been played. Yeah, no. But...
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You know, Tracy's not overly impressed with the Yankees anyway
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: because he's a Mets fan. But it's like Friday night,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: everybody's here on this show, on this show going, yeah, yeah, Yankees,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: we're going to get it done, get it done. Here
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: we open up Tuesday. And they're one game from elimination.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I feel like a Mets fan today.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: You know what it is?
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: There's a compadre with me today and the Mets fans
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: because I feel them.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I feel their pain. I feel their agony. Only this.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: These are the Yankees.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, these are the guys that when I was
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: growing up in the 70s watching baseball, they just pulled
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: out everything and had heart.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: They would never be defeated. Today, it's like, oh, okay.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. You don't follow baseball.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: The other night, Austin Wells, the guy is as slow
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: as somebody on crutches. He whips one, the only hit. Rasmussen,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: God bless that guy. See, we need pitching like that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: We don't have an ace like that, like Drew Rasmussen
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: from the Rays. That guy had a no-hitter postseason. Going
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: into the eighth inning, right? So Austin Wells.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Gets up to bat, slams a double. We've got two outs?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe I forget it was two outs. But anyway, this
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: was the chance for the Yankees to score, okay? Because
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the go-ahead run was up next. He hits a double,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: absolute double, tries to turn it into a triple.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Dude, what was going through your mind? Stay conservative.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Wasn't the third base coach telling him to go, though?
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. They said that he had
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: his head down. He wasn't really paying attention. You know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: it's a very narcissistic, egotistical move, Austin Wells.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: You blew it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: And who knows what would have happened after. Would we
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: have scored the run? But the point is.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I would say he only blew it if he overruled
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the coaches. I can't believe the coach was looking down.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: When the ball's in play, you're either saying come on
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: or you're saying hold.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine that that third base coach was telling
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: him to go because that would have really. I mean,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: we're talking like, like, like T-ball players. little league rule
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: right there like don't run just don't just just stop
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: you did good enough let the next guy.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Try and launch because at that point all you need
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is a is a single to that's.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: It just tie at that juncture you just tie up
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: the game tie it up at least or the go-ahead
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: run was all you needed was a home.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Run so what is so when do they play next.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: They're off tonight. They play. No, no, no. They're off tonight.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: They'll play tomorrow.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: That's another thing that they did, which was very different
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: from back in the day.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Now they're taking a day off in between. Oh, because why?
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: You guys played so hard. You need a day off.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Enough. No, it's for the league's purposes to get more
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: press and to have more attention and so forth. Well,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the interesting thing is Yankees fans get upset, stomp their feet, stammer,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: blow spittle out in the air because they haven't won
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a World Series since 2009. Meanwhile, you've got people like
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the Mets, like my Rangers, like the Cubs, like a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of others, that they go considerably further back
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: from that from the last time they were even in
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the series, much less having had a chance to win one.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: They're not the Yankees. To my point, they are not
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: the Yankees. We are really held to a higher standard.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I can only relate to it from this standpoint.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: In the NFL, the same principle applies to the Cowboys.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And we haven't won a Super Bowl in 30 years,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: literally 30 years. And yet it's the most profitable sports
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: franchise on the planet. And everybody expects, you know, we
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: started one and two this, this year, we, we won
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: this week. So we're back to even, but you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: we've got a long way to go for, if this
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: is the year that it's supposed to be, it's like, we're,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you know, the other thing talking about the baseball guys
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: on Friday, I don't know that any team like really
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: has any chance as long as the Dodgers have the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: lineup that they have. Now I know Otani is, injured
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and he's not pitching right now. But when that dude
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is at full strength, that team is unstoppable.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: He, listen, and this is what ends up happening to
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: me every year since 2009.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I think the Yankees thought Judge was going to kind
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: of like neutralize him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Let me just say something.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Aaron Judge, healthy or not healthy, he tanks every postseason.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Every postseason, some dark horse comes in and saves it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Well, not really saves it, but does incredibly well.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, someone you're not expecting. Is Judge even in the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: lineup right now? Yeah, he's out.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: He's out, he's out, he's out. Stanton's out. But Stanton,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: he hasn't freaking played this guy since freaking April. I mean,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Aaron Boone, listen. Aaron, get yourself out. Let me come in.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, if I could manage a game for
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the Yankees, I'll tell you right now.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: But what's funny is, friends, those of you listening, Linda
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is on a first-name basis with most of the Yankee GMs.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So she can call them Aaron and Joe and these
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: guys because she's filled their ears with her thoughts before.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: No, but I'm just, well, listen, we need Girardi back
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: in there only because he's Italian.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, you need an Italian manager. How well you've done.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't take Torrey?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, but, I mean, Joe's old.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Not a Billy Martin fan, though, huh?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Billy Martin drunk. No, that's OK. Interesting.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Dramatic. I mean, you had to. But again, listen, Billy
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Martin or no Billy Martin.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Those were the Yankees of the 70s and they were undefeatable.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Do you I don't know if you remember. I forget
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: what year it was.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: So somebody with sport, a sports statistician would tell me.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: There was a time when the Yankees went. So you use.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: A hold this. This story is turning into something else.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: We got to take a break. Be right back. She's Linda.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: She's upset about the Yankees. Don't go anywhere.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: From New York, it's Radio Night Live with Kevin McCullough.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: All right. Welcome back. It's Tuesday night. We haven't really
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: talked about travel at all. We've mentioned Tampa Bay and
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: New York. That's about all we've, well, I guess Linda
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: did mention Boston. So we've kind of mentioned other places,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: but that's okay because when the Yankees are wrapping up
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: their season, which it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Looks like they are.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Linda has free reign. We give it to her because
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: she's going to go crazy if she can't say what's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: on her mind.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I have a really good friend who's got a very
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: high ranking position there.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I texted him last night.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: And I said, well, at least you could go on
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: vacation Thursday. They are they are never coming out of this.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: And you know what? You want to believe.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like they only have one game left.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So, well, it's a three out of five.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Right. And they're down 0-2.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're down 0-2. I mean, it would.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Take a ferocious three-game winning streak against a team that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: just blanked them twice in a row to get further.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: And listen, and there have been historical postseasons where teams,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: the Red Sox have done it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: The Red Sox were down three games to nothing in,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I think, the ALCS. Yeah. I don't know how many
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: years ago and they came back to win.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Listen, if here's the thing, if anybody can do it,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the Yankees can.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That is such a delusional Yankee fan talking. No, you
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: guys are the, but, but I love it. Cause you're
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the best. You're the, you're so loyal. It's like, you know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: they're terrible. We should fire them all, get rid of
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: all of them, kick them all into the ocean. They're terrible.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You know, drown them all. And then and then in
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the same breath. But, you know, if there's anybody that
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: can come back.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: But it's true. But here's what I don't understand.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: So apparently now, again, I don't know if this has changed.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: We are supposed to have the most I'm going to
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: use the word lucrative. I don't know if that's the
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: right word. Richest payroll.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: You do.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: In all that way.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: So why don't we have the dream team?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Because Los Angeles spent slightly more about four years ago
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: when they got Otani.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you. Oh, this is what I was
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: saying to you.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: So since the Yankees have tanked, you know, I always
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I always attach myself to some team in the World
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Series that I do end up rooting for. And I
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: got to tell you, because I do love L.A., I
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: love California, and there's always been a Dodger-Yankee rivalry. But
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: if you've ever, Kevin, gone to L.A. and gone to
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium, where I have gone and seen the Yankees
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: play the Dodgers, Dodger Stadium is just— it' s an anomaly, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: it's a.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Wonderful place to see a baseball game.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: So I usually align myself with the Dodgers, and I do—
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: They play.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: With so much heart and grit and grit. That's what
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: it is. They play with so much grit. They don't
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: want to lose to anybody. And they don't.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: So you have Otani. You've got Freddie Freeman, whom I
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: absolutely adore. You know, they they have a great team.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: They've got a great bullpen. They're great offensively.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: You know, the Yankees have got you know what? You
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: got a couple of good guys. The other ones fight it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm going to say.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Get rid of them. Get rid of them. Just get
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: rid of them. Anybody that's what do you call it?
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Anybody that's you're wavering that doesn't have a contract through 2030.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: You just want a clean house. And that's Judge and everybody.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Well, Judge, here's the thing.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Judge will remain a Yankee, just like Derek Jeter remained
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: a Yankee for his entire career.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: We are enamored with Aaron Judge. And why?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: He's the captain. He's a great hitter. But he's sporadic.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: He is not trustworthy. And I think that sounds terrible.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: But if he was hitting a home run every time
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: he got up, you go, okay.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's impossible.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: But let's say majority of the time, he can't. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: in the postseason, when you do need him, he's not great.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: You know who's awesome? Love Cody Ballinger. Love. Completely underrated.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Ben Rice is completely underrated and he's an amazing guy.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Paul Goldschmidt. I mean, Gold Glove, that guy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Comes through in the clutch every single time. But you've
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: got people that like Waver, like Wells. But here's the
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: thing with Austin Wells.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: And you've got to watch.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Besides being slow as a freight train?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Besides that, Austin Wells is not great offensively. However, he's
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: a fantastic catcher. And you know where you can really,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: really count on him? You know that they have these
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: challenges now, right, where a pitch comes through and someone
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: can challenge the pitch. They go back and they look
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: at the AI version of whatever the heck it is.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Because he's a catcher, his perspective is very different. Every time,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I think he's got like an 88% call. Every time
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: he makes a challenge, he's right. And that's where we
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: need Austin Wells, behind the plate. But his bat bites it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Trent Grisham, he's not great offensively either.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Austin Wells, just for a second, further on him. He
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: had the worst batting average of any major league catcher
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: this season, I believe.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Well, he was that good defensively.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: But I think he's a very and you got to remember, Kevin,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: when we put ingredients into I think into any sports team. Right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: You're not like I have to tell my son this.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: He plays basketball. My son is a very white Italian boy,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: average height. And I think he just thinks that he
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: is like he's Kobe. He thinks that he has reincarnated Kobe.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: And I and I say to him, John Marco, I'm
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: going to tell you something. You don't have to be
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: the best shooter on your team. This is a team, right?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: So everyone's talents have to come together.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: For a win. I said, you can be a great defenseman.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Look at Dennis Rodman.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: You could be a great defensive player and not score
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: that many baskets because that's what they need you for.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: They need you for strategy. They need you for rebounds.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: They need you.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Is he.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Height-wise, does he fit a guard or more of a
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: 3-4 position?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Well, he's still growing, right? So he's 13, average height.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Very fast.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: How tall is he at 13? I think, what is he.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Like 5'5 right now?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: So he's like average. Hopefully he'll still grow.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: So he's playing junior high?
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: AAU. He's playing AAU basketball because we don't have a
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: junior high.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't either.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: So we don't do that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Where I grew up, we all had, like all the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: schools had junior high leagues with the schools, but it's
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: not the way here in the Northeast. How long has
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: he played?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, since he was little, since he was little, but
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: you know, he really, here's the other thing too. He tries,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: he's at the gym every day for open gym. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: when I don't let him go to open gym because
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: he's got practice, he's at practice. So this kid's playing
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: seven days a week, but PS, that's what it takes
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: to be really good. But again, Kevin, you got to
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: instill teamwork into them. You're not going to be, you
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: may have somebody that is slow, but he can shoot.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Well, the best way to secure a starting position, if
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you're not the absolute best shooter on the team, because
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I coached college hoops for about seven years, um, become the, the, um,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: become the rebounder that you absolutely cannot have on the floor. Yeah.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You have to have them on the floor all the time,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: which was what Horace Grant was for the first three
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: bulls championship. It's what Dennis Rodman was for the second
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: three bulls championships. It's what for large part, Kurt Rambis
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: was for the Lakers and AC green. And some of
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: those guys, they weren't the magic or the worthy or
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the Korean or the, you know, they were, they were
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the guy that was there to clean up, but you've
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: got to have, a strong rebounder for someone that's going
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to be taking a lot of shots on the other
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: side of the floor. So you gave him good advice
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: for sure. We've got to take a quick break. She's Linda.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I'm Kevin. Don't go anywhere.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And now from New York, back to Radio Night Live,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: here's Kevin McCullough.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. She's Linda. I'm Kevin. It's Travel Tuesday. We
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: will talk about some travel in a bit, but Linda's
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: vexing all of her Yankees demons from the last 24 hours.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: She just needed to grab a microphone and just yell
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: into it for a little bit. So we're accommodating her
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: You know what it is? I'm a female. I'm a girl, Kevin.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Which is what makes this even more shocking because I
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: know a lot of men that feel the way you do.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I... Maybe you and Christine are
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the only two women I know.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I am passionate about my... pinstripes.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I haven't noticed that. But let's let's go forward. You
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: were you were about to tell us what year it was.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: But the all-star break is when you– it's like a ruler, right?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: When you're going– you've got.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: To see where you're at when you're going into the
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: all-star break. How many games above 500 are you?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Where are you?
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: How many games below 500 are you? Well, they went
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: into the all-star.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Do you need to hit a trade before the deadline
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: to make the run for the fall, et cetera?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: All that stuff, right?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: P.S., there was a year in the 70s, I forget
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: what it was.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: The Yankees were, they closed out the All-Star break 14
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: games behind the Red Sox, okay? And back in the day, Kev,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: do you remember? It was very cut and dry. You
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: had American League, you had National League. National League played
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: National League, American League played American League. You had two divisions,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: you had East and West, AL East and West, you
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: had NL East and West. They played for the pennant.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: There was no wild card. There was no ALCS. It
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: was just very simple. The Yankees won the World.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Series that year after being behind.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: 14 games behind the Red Sox.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Because why? Why? because they wanted it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: And they were the Yankees, and George Steinbrenner was at
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: the helm, and they had a reputation to uphold. Today,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: get rid of Boone. That guy takes pitchers out. I
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: think he sits in the dugout chewing on his nails
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: like this, going, oh, boy, it's almost the fifth inning.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: What's the pitch count? You know, it doesn't matter if
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: he's got a no-hitter. I'm going to pull him.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: And then you go to really the weakest part, I think.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: of the Yankees' entire family, their bullpen is really not strong.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Your best bet is Cam Schlittler, who's a starter, right?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: So you don't want to leave him in there.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: They were, you know, Garrett Cole, he tanked this year too.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: He was supposed to be their ace. They need to
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: spend money on pitching and get people like Drew Rasmussen
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: in there, get people like, oh my God, I'm like
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: drawing blanks.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: But Like, their pitching is awful. Sorry.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: It's obviously really bothered you. I bet you barely slept
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I'm watching.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: So much anxiety.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I had to get up and box this morning, you know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: at 530.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, I can't sleep because they freaking lost.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: But Ben Rice, Ben Aros.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I bet your boxing session was good, though. You had
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: all that adrenaline to get out of your system.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: It was me and Aaron Boone.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: That's who....
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: You stupid guy. I'll take that. You're awful.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Stop chewing on your freaking sunflower seeds and spitting them
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: out and go figure out your damn.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Lineup, dude.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Well, and the thing is, like, you've got... What's with
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the sunflower seeds? I know it's healthier than tobacco, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: like there's just something about like.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: They're anxious. Wouldn't you be anxious? You had the problems
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: he has. I'd be anxious, too. I mean, really.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's in the playoffs. That's more than the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Mets got.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: OK, but guess what?
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: He only bypassed. If this was back in the day, Kevin,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: they wouldn't have made it this year. Right. With the
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: with the way they used to cut it up. They
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: wouldn't have made it. But he he was graced with
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: a wild card.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, here's that's another thing.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: You end up in a wild race.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: The wild. You are in the wild card.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: But that's the bottom of the bottom of the bottom
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: of playoffs. In 1975, there wouldn't have been a wild card.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Right. But the point is, and you were only eight
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: in 1975. So just give it a break.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: But I was still watching them.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I guess. Here's the thing. Like, so shouldn't the team
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: that barely skates in on the wild card probably lose
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: in the wild card round, if not the first round
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: of the. of the next round?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Well, look what happened, right? So you had Boston and
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: the Yankees.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: The Yankees, you know, they annihilated Boston, which was great,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: but they can't annihilate Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay was in
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: the same position they were, and they were a wild card. Like,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: they're supposed to be relatively equal, but there's obviously no equivalent.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: The only thing somebody would argue with me and say,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: these are low-scoring games, but last night was not a
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: low-scoring game.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, If.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: You watch the fifth inning last night, it was like
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: error after error after error.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I couldn't even believe these were the same guys.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: And I think what kills me.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Generally, Kevin, they make a bazillion dollars each.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: And this is what their dream is. And out of
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I always say to my kids, you could have the
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: worst team in baseball and you find the worst player
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: on that team with the worst stats.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: He was still.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Probably the best player on this high school team because that's.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: What it takes to get him to the MLB.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: These guys should not be messing up.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: He might be the best player in the whole city's
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: regional high school teams.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Goldschmidt in there. Goldschmidt always comes through. Gold Glove. And
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: where is he?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Taking another break. Linda's going to keep talking all the
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: way through the conversation. We'll be right back.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: What a little moonlight can do.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: It's Radio Night Live. Here's Kevin McCullough.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: All right. I know we promised we'd move on. Linda
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: wants to add one more thing before we're done with
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: the Yankees. Go right ahead, lady.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I just want to tell you that even though I'm
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: a girly girl. Everything you heard from me this morning
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: aligns with what Gary Phillips from the Daily News just wrote.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: And he said the Yankees humiliated themselves in game two.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: And now they are on the brink of elimination. And that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Says it all and you can do what you want
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: and we'll get, you know, Spike Lee and he can rah, rah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: and Billy Crystal rah, rah, not going to help them.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: If these guys don't want it, they played like complete
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: juveniles last night.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: All right. Is that, is that the final word?
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Final word. And I hope they hear me.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: All right. Um, moving on the governor of New York state,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: speaking of, uh, big winners, um, She has declared a
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: measles emergency in rural New York. What what is going
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: on here?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: So, OK, Kevin, so I'm going to give you the synopsis.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And if people are thinking about coming to New York,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: traveling here, is this something they need to be worried about?
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Well, let me just let me just say this.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: OK, I am trad mom when it comes to vaccines.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Let's start for one second here with because I think
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: that there's two prong issue going on with this with
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: the measles case. And I'm going to get to that
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: in a second. But this is what happens. Measles was
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: a disease that has been eradicated, eradicated probably, I don't know,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: maybe 70 years ago. For somebody in the United States
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: of America to not vaccinate their.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Kid with an MMR.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if these days you can split
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: that vaccine. That's measles, mumps, rubella. Right. Is beyond comprehension.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I understand that there are. You have to put on
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: your thinking caps when it comes to the flu vaccine.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: You want to put on your thinking caps when it
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: comes to RSV. You want to put on your thinking
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: caps when it comes to COVID.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Vaccine, right? Okay, fine. But things like measles, how about
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: whooping cough?
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: These are diseases that killed people.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: You understand what I'm saying?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: And they've been dead in our country for 100 years.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: So, ding, ding, ding, Kevin, you win the car today
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: because what is happening? You get somebody like Hochul. that
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: grants immunity to all these migrants that come in and
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: they are not vaccinated.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: OK, they're just coming in bare, whatever. They're coming in
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: naked with no vaccines.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: And that's what starts to cause another epidemic.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: OK, so what are we going to do?
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: The only thing we can do, our control here, we
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: can't control the government. We can't control what Kathy Hochul
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: is doing. We can control what we do with our kids.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: And I have to stand up for all these vaccines, again,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: that have been tried and true and have eradicated, that
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: word eradicated is so important, Kevin, eradicated diseases that have
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: killed people.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: You can die from measles.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, the interesting thing about this is the people
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: that are very vaccine hesitant, they have all kinds of
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: reasons to be hesitant about modern vaccines because those things
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: have such a mixed bag of results. And it's not,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is a simple cut. All vaccines
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: are bad. All vaccines are good. And these traditional ones,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the MMR, the whooping cough, these things that, you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I got when I was a kid, my kids all got.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: These are the ones that we should be taking. And
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: all the doctors that I speak with across the board,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: even the ones that have uh, regrets and hesitations about
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: the COVID stuff and the MRNA, they all agree that
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: these vaccines worked and, you know, should still be being practiced.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: So why your kid, Kevin should have measles.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: What is this?
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: 1940.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: The one thing that I will add that you just
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: mentioned that I think a lot of people, um, don't
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: realize is that if, if you do break them up
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: as well, now, I don't think you break up MMR.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Like that's, that's one vaccine, but you, if you just
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: take that one at that time, and then two weeks later,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: take the next thing. Like, I don't, I'm not a
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: big fan of like, let's just shoot them all.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Up at, you know, six months old with.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: All of them or whatever. No, if you are, if
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you're uncomfortable with that, break them up, but get the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: ones that are proven to work.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Well, even DPT.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, they've been around forever. Diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Pertussis is whooping cough, right?
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Again, you know, so.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: There are diseases that if you got them, Kevin, or
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: I got them, even like RSV, it may show up
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: as a cough or a cold or something like that.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: But if a young child gets them or a baby
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: gets them and they don't have those.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Immunities, they could die, you know? And, and, I just
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: want to know, are people playing doctor? Are you playing doctor?
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Why do you think that... You're going to a.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Pediatrician for a reason, I would think, right? I mean,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: you have to trust what they're telling you. And yes,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: you are correct. There are these, I call them like
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: these ancillary vaccines, right, that have come on COVID, even RSV.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Then there's one now for rotavirus.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: All right, you want to delve into that a little
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: more and see what the repercussions are and what the.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, I call them the basic ones. These are
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: like your tried and true.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like I said, 50 plus years of proof of
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: work and.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: That is correct.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: And all doctors agree on them.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: It's the migrants that are coming in and don't want
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: to do it. And there are populations out there, Kevin,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: and I don't want to get in trouble because I
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: can point out that there are certain ethnic populations that
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: do not vaccinate their kids for whatever reasons. And they
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: are the ones that really have the problem.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Now, rural New York. Why rural New York?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: What are they saying here? Is there a reason why
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: it's rural New York?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Well, it was that's where the cases have multiplied the fastest.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: But she is putting that into effect statewide, I think.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: And she should. And of course, listen, we know that
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: we know that New York City.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Is a Petri dish, right? You know, it's not my
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: favorite place in the world. And that's where a lot
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: of people go. That's where the migrants do go to
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: set up camp.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: And, you know, they get whatever they need there, whether
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: it's the freebies or whatever. And they're coming in again
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: and they're not vaccinated.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: And, you know, that's where I think that's what she's
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: trying to stop. Because New York City, I mean, if
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: you get another pandemic in.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: New York, you know, what would be more effective than that?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Just work with the feds to stop the illegal immigration. Well,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: instead of instead of opposing the feds, just work.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, don't you?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, help her help your own people.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: New York State is an asylum state. I'm like, what?
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Why in this day and age? For what purpose? I
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: don't care, Kevin. We've spoken about this, right? I don't care.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: There are plenty of good people out there that want
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: to come into this country the right way.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Got to take one more break. Be right back. Final
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: segment with Linda.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Once again, from New York, here's Radio Night Live and
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Kevin McCullough.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. She's Linda. I'm Kevin. Glad to have you
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: with us. Not to not talk about travel at all tonight.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: There is a Italian pastry, Linda. And already you've got
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: my attention. Pastry and Italian. My radar just went up.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: That is taking the world by storm. But you're familiar
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: with it. It's a bombolone.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: And it is a very it's very similar to a Zeppole.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: So, you know, everything, Kevin, that comes.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Those sound like donuts to my ears.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what? Everything that comes over. I'm just
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: using Italy as an example.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Everything that comes into the.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Italian-American cuisine did have an, even though we've bastardized a
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: lot of this stuff, it does have an origin somewhere, right?
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: So this one they're saying, the Bambalone, is up north,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: very far up north. The Dolomites are a borderline Germany-Swiss
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: area and very cold up there, especially during the wintertime.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: So this is like a very warm comfort food type
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: of thing. And Italians love their dough. So it's like
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: a big zeppole, the doughy center. You want to eat
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: it hot. And that's pretty much it.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: The Refugio in Italy's Val di Fossa Valley. That's up north?
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Valdi Fassa.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Yes. And Stanley Tucci loves to go up north more
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: than he likes to go down south to review culinary
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: and the fact that he I don't like Stanley Tucci
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: His politics are very at odds with mine. But I
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: do find his traveling of Italy very interesting.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: It's interesting.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: I think he's very arrogant, to be quite honest with you.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: But anyway, he did do sampling these pastries, as he would,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: because he does love northern cuisine, I think, more than
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: he likes southern cuisine.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: He's got some good episodes on southern Italy.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: But I've watched him more on the northern stuff. like
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: up by you know what i have to admit a
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: lot of it was on during the olympics last year
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: which they had to do that's.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Where they were yeah so uh you're right there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: In the bumbaloney you can make a bumbaloney in your
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: kitchen kev well.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to give us a recipe for it
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: does does mama perillo have a bumbaloney recipe No.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: But I can get one.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sure Giada makes bombolone.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, you know, some Nona somewhere that's
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: hand rolling the bubble.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I am a Nona, but I don't hand roll my dough.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: No, but man, can you chew out the Yankees when
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: they lose?
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Like I will continue to do.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Everyone's got their own talents, I guess.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Until next week when they're basking themselves in the Mexican
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: sun somewhere. They're all inclusive instead of playing baseball because
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: that's what they're going to do.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of sad. When I was growing up,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I was a huge Lakers fan. And I would read
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: about how they would spend the offseason on years after
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: they lost in the finals. And it was always like...
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: And that was in the Pat Riley era. So you
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: had Magic Johnson. You had Pat Riley. You had James Worthy.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: You had some of these guys. They'd all go on
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: vacation together in the summer. And they'd just sit on
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: the beach and stew about how they lost. And they'd
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: get so angry. And they'd attack the season after that.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: They almost always... If they lost in the finals the
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: year before, they almost always came back and won the
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: next year. And it was this, we're just not going
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: to accept being subpar, you know, in their gut. And
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: that's the thing. If it really bothers you, you're going
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: to do something to make it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Well, that's it. I don't want to hear about where
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: you went on vacation after you lost because you still
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: should have been playing baseball.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Sorry, that's what you get paid for.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: That's what the fans say. That's what the fan says.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: The number one fan. All right. Linda, thank you for
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: a great night. Friends, join me tomorrow night. More Radio
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Night Live. We'll see you then.
