  Speaker 1: Todd Bigshay and Jimmy Hark God to join us today.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We are all in separate places. Todd mcshae in about
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Is he in South Florida? I'm in Chicago.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Still Taylor's in New York. I'm assuming he's going to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a Yankee game tonight. The last time the last thing
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I heard before we started the show, and I am
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: shocked by it because I was going to discuss Bam
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Adebaio again because we have discussed more Bam. I don't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: think there's a topic we've discussed more this year than BAM.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And I was thankful and shocked to hear is real
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Gudy Era say to me right before we started, I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: want to talk baseball?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: What?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Well, technically it was Taylor telling you that I want
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: talk baseball the technicalities. Man.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: We're doing radio.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: And just want to be, you know, completely transparent.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: And I know, but it's a detail that no one
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: cares about. Well.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and what I was talking to Taylor about specifically
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: was Mason Miller. Do I There's a number of things
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I would love to talk about, but that's just one
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: of them. But if you want to start there, we
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: can start there.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I do want to start there, because listen, Taylor and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I have been waiting for you to want to talk
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: baseball since we started doing the show. I mean, well
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we might.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: I might have been roped in a little bit because
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: we were talking about baseball in general, and I mentioned
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Mason Miller and some.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Of his his crazy stats.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: But have you been paying attention to what he's been
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: doing this year?
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Stud? No, So he's the Padres closer in case you
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: didn't know that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Thank you, and I appreciate he has been absent. First
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: of all, Taylor, correct me if I'm wrong here. He
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: did some work in the World Baseball Classic, did he not?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was on the US team, and then there
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: was the whole situation where they wouldn't bring him in
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: because it wasn't a safe situation and they were trying
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: to respect the Padres. So he didn't wind up pitching
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: in that last game.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: So just to look at some of his numbers due over,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: So here's including the playoffs. Okay, Mason Miller has struck out,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: struck out twenty of his last twenty three batters, thirty
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: of his last thirty eight batters, forty of his last
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: fifty five. Keep going down to eighty of his last
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty five batters, eighty of his last
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty five batters faced he has struck out.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: No other MLB pitcher in the last fifty years has
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: matched any of those stretches at any point in his career. Okay, okay,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Mason Miller, none of the this one's crazy. None of
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the last one hundred and fourteen batters who have faced
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Mason Miller have scored. One hundred and fourteen batters, none
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: of them have scored. But here's the thing that kind
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: of makes me feel like you're taking a little bit
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: of way way from Mason Miller and really the closer
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: position altogether. Okay, okay, So so far this season, twenty
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: three strikeouts do to one walk, zero earned runs, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: he's given up just one hit. But this next number
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: is the one that makes it less impressive. Okay, he's
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: pitched nine point one innings, nine and a third innings.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: He's pits nine and a third innings, and we're talking
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: about this generational, never seen before pitcher, and it's like, yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: but he only pitches the very end. It's like if
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: you had Steph Curry, the best three point shooter of
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: all time, but he's only available for the last minute
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: if your team is behind.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: That seems like that's kind of the yes, But it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: seems like you don't want to take anything away from
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Mason Miller, and it seems like you're the one trying
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to take something away from Mason Millers.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Well, I want to talk about it with other baseball people.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: My guy wearing a Yankees jersey over there in New York, Taylor,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: and just talk to me about this because.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Am I wrong here?
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Because I am mind blown by what he actually can do?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: But why can't he do it for like three innings?
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: So I have this stat from Sarah Langes. Mason Miller's
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: seventy six point seven percent strikeout rate is the highest
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: by a pitcher in his first nine appearances of a
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: season in the last one hundred and twenty years. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: is he the conversation around Mason Miller, we haven't really
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: caught up to, Hey, let's start extending this guy two
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: innings to three innings, because the original talking point with
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Mason Miller was he was on the Oakland Athletics and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the Oakland Athletics were not doing any winning. They really
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: didn't have too many safe situations for him. So the
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: conversation was, hey, we got to get this guy out
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: of Oakland and onto a contender. So the fact that
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: he's even on a contender right now in San Diego
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: is a win for the baseball community. Will address him
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: extending him and trying to maximize his role later on
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: down the road.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: But that's an actual thing that you can discs because
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, nobody ever discussed extending Marian Rivera extending you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: the greatest closers of all time. I don't know why
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I can't think of another one other than Rob nend.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Is all you had? Uh, here's the marlin.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: You know, Yes, But I'm just wondering, like, does it
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: make it less impressive his accomplishments or is it just
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: one of those like let's let's just not dig in
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: any further. Let him be a closer. Let him be
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: the greatest at that position.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: So that's the role I will tell you.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: In the postseason, Marianna Rivera would sometimes go two witnings
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: if he had to. Perhaps he'd go more if the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yankees needed it on that particular night.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: I am with Izzy from this standpoint.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I have often thought to myself, if a guy is
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that good just getting three outs per game and throwing
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: one inning per game, perhaps you want to extend him out.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you should see what he looks like if he
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: threw five innings, four innings, seven innings, eight hitnings.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Would his stuff be that good? My guess is no.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Otherwise they'd be doing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: It, I would say, and this is the way. Obviously
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: you would probably have to do that. Like you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: if you're up three to one in the eighth inning,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: let's just see what this eighth inning looks like with him.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And if he only has to throw eight pitches or
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: nine pitches, ten pitches to get this side out, go
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: ahead and bring him back out for the ninth. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: think he'll be fine. And then you just keep going
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: from there. Next thing you know might be starting a
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: game for you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: And is he san Diego is really the perfect team
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: for Mason Miller, because it feels like San Diego has
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: just compiled every player who you would look at on
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a baseball field and be like, Wow, this guy is fun.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: This guy is must watch. But for some reason, they
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: make a move every like two years, and none of
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that has really equated to them having like this great
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: postseason success. Like when they went out and they got
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Juan Soto in twenty twenty two, it was immediately followed
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: by Fernando Tatis getting suspended, and then in twenty twenty
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: three when Tatis comes back from his suspension, it's it's
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Tatis et Xander Bogart and they missed the playoffs.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: That's insane.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's insane. There's so much fun and they
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: don't make the playoffs. But yeah, you throw in Mason Miller, man,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: they better make the playoffs.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Because are you saying you want to see what Mason
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Miller would look like if he was a number one
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: starter or something?
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Is that where you're headed here?
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And again this is probably just more of a
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: philosophical situation with you know, baseball in general and the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: closer position, and I understand sometimes those last three outs
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: are really hard to get and you need that guy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: But you're talking about this dominant to performance from the
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: very beginning. Let's see if we can get more out
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: That's all.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So there's I'm trying to think of my list of
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: most the people I trust the most when it comes
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: to baseball. Tim Kirchin's number one, Jeff Passon's number two,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: number three, it's bord up Riccardo.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Oh you know I would put bored up Ricardo ahead
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: of pass It. I would really wow. Oh yeah, yes, yes, yes.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: And we just got this note from bard up Riccardo.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Mason is very limited. He has a crazy fastball, a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: nasty slider, and a changeup. Not enough pitches to start.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Right, And bord Otricardo is right, is he?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have a guy who can come in,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: give you nine fast balls, get you three outs, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the game is over. And that's his role, and he
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: gets paid a lot of money to do that. He
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: does it better than anyone in baseball. How about that?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, So that's fine. I'm going to here's the compromise
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna take here. It's like I'm just gonna not
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: be as impressed.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: That's what it is.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna look at all these numbers and be like
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that is great part time player.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: You're limited, Ricardo told me. So you're saying do it
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: as a starter.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You're not believing in the actual role of closer, are you?
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: No? No?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Again, Like, I do believe that those last three outs
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: are really hard to get and if you have two,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: maybe even just one, Marion rivera dominant pitch, Hey get
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: me those three outs.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: I get that role.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: But I just won't be as impressed because it's just
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: three outs.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: There's twenty four more in the game.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Is he So you're kind of questioning it sounds like
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: if I am understanding this right, what it would look
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: like if we started extending him out to two innings,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: to three innings, to four innings, to five innings, eventually
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: getting to the point where he could maybe transition to
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: a starter. I think what Mason Miller would look like
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: as a starter is happening in Pittsburgh, and it's called
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Paul Skeens.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: I can see that what's been going on with him.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I remember the first game I kind of checked out since.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Then, what's going on with him is Taylor would now
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: trade him straight up for Cam Schlittler.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I mean that I'm not.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not entirely there yet.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: It's it's first off, stew, I I am going to
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: the Yankee game later. I just bought my tickets. Happy
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: cam schlitt Or day. It's a cam shlitt Or start
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: of course.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Right. Well, I'm a little nervous, but okay, you going
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: with salth Slitler name? What are you doing? You and
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Sal little date date night? Now?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: So I did I did ask Sal? Well, I didn't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: ask Sal. Sal offered to take me to the game
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: and go back back behind the scenes and meet Aaron Boone.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: And then he very reluctantly hold away set offer because
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: he said he was going to like Pepa Pigs house
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: or something for for his daughter's birthday this weekend.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: He was like, that's more important. Good.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: He was like, I have to go to Peppa Pig's
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: house in Pennsylvania. I'm like, first off, that sounds like
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: a tongue twister. Pepa Pigs house in Pennsylvania. Two, Peppa
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Pig is a cartoon. She's got a house.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yep, yes. Now I'm listen. I'm starting to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: wonder if Sally just used that as an excuse to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: get out and go into a baseball game with you.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Show if you heard Taylor's takes on Aaron Boon, I
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: was just like, no, no, I can't have you meet
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: that man.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Has there ever been a closer turned starter that it
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: where it's worked out? I know we've had Smoltz who
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was a great start, a Hall of Fame starter, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: then became a Hall of Fame closer. I'm not certain
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it's it's happened the other way where a guy was
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a closer and because this stuff was so good, he
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: had all the pitches converted to a starter and then
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: had a good career as a starter.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Right now, I think the best example, coincidentally enough, is
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: in San Diego Michael King, who was a big piece
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: in the in the Wan Soto trade. Michael King was
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: a reliever for the Yankees, and when they acquired him
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: in the Wan Soto trade, the Padres identified something that said, hey,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: this guy could probably be a starter for this team.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: And Michael King since going over to the Padres, his
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: his eras pretty consistently under like three three and a half,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: which is which is pretty good for a starter.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Perhaps what happened here and is he tell us, if
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: this is the case, you did not want to partake
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: in the Roger McDowell interview. You left him, You left
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: them to me, and I appreciate that. But McDowell in
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a big game, six in the playoffs, as Taylor now knows,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: through not one, not two, not three, not four, five
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: innings in a playoff game, and you would you want
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: your relievers to do something like that?
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Is that fair? Fair?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Also, you're welcome for letting you have Roger McDowell. I'll
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: to yourself, but did you hear that? Did you hear
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: me dab will say that. Did you hear us discuss
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: that with him? And you said to yourself, Hey, Nason Miller,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: let's go five innings.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's exactly what happened. He did it, he did.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: He finally played along with the radio. Yes.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I also have a better example than Michael King. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: believe in current MLB when Garrett Crochet was coming up
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: through the miners for the White Sox. When he made
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: his debut for the White Sox, he was a reliever
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: and then eventually they transitioned him. They were like, your
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: stuff is way too good for it to be wasted
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: on one to two innings when we believe we can
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: stretch you out. And since Garrett Crochet has made the
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: transition to starting pitcher, he's one of the best pictures
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: in MLB.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I wish I started with dam I was gonna say
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: when we turned to Garrett Crochet, which I'd seen his name,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I've never actually realized that it's actually pronounced Crochet.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: I thought was Pratchett. I think it's time to pivot, Stu.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Can I tell you the other thing that I was
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: dying to talk about today?
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Sure, go ahead, and I clicked on I think it
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: was NBA TV.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: They were playing Game six of the nineteen ninety eight
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: NBA Finals Jazz Bulls, and I caught the last two minutes,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: and man, I want to revisit that because John Stockton
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: did not catch enough heat for his terrible play down
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: the stretch that guy needs. We need to retroactively, absolutely
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: roast John Stockton for losing that Game six for the
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Utah Jazz.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: How about that big steal down the stretch of that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: game by the greatest defensive player that's ever lived, Michael Jordan.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: How about that go.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Back and look at that. It was such a terrible
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: decision by Stockton. Let Michael Jordan clear the baseline before
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: you make the pass.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: John. He's a Hall of Famer, is he?

• 14:03
  Speaker 1: around four fifteen, The Hulk Hogan documentary, four part series
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: is coming out on Netflix.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: I am very much looking forward to that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Israel and Taylor have been laughing the entire break because
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we referenced the story right before we went to Todd
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: McShay every day.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Page six.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You can find a picture of me there, and you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: can find a story about Diana Rassini.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: But Taylor, what do you laughing? What are you laughing about?
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: What are you And is he laughing about what happened here?
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: So this is kind of two parts. What I'm laughing
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: at one is the fact that anything you say gets
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: aggregated by awful announcing. Page six, the New York Posts
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you name it. Yeah, And for some reason, every time
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: they pick a picture of you, yeah, picking like skill
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: photos of you from videos, and they're they're not getting
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: you at the best angles.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: No, no, well listen, there aren't really any good angles
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: if I'm being honest.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, Taylor, there's a picture now of you at your
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: famous family porch, which is your kitchen, and you're just
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: like staring into nothingness.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: And it's like the New York Post is like, this
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: one's good, this.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: One, Hey, Post, do me a favor. If you're gonna
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: post pictures of me, please use a better angle, use
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: better pictures. Because Taylor is right, this is there aren't
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: many good angles. But this is the worst possible angle
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and it looks like a mug shot.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: It does. It's terrible. Really, you got arrested in your
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: own home. All the Post has.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: To do is just google George Clooney twenty twenty six,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: have a photo and just.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Use that exactly. Yes.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: The other angle that, the other angle that we were
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: laughing at is this story comes across somebody sends me
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: this story, and I'm double checking. I'm triple checking because
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: this feels like I'm getting ball sacked. It feels like
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I'm getting fake storied left and right when I get
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: an article sent to me and the headline is from
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: page six, Diana Russini mounts daring rescue of elderly man
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: and dog trapped in car.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, because it would seem impossible for that story to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: come on the heels of her last story.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, I understand that.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Can I read a couple of details from this? Because
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: this is like, forget what has happened recently that everybody
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: wants to talk about.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Diana's a hero.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: This in itself is absolutely crazy. So a local news
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: site Patch reported at around five pm on Wednesday, a
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: seventeen year old driving a Honda Civic turned onto a
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: street in suburban wykoff, New Jersey and collided with the jeep,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: flipping the four by four onto its side. Okay, so apparently,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: according to the report, as seventy three year old driver
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: of the jeep and his dog were stuck inside.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: This is what I love about the article.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Enter Russini, who just today before had quit The Times,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: blah blah blah, and eyewitness tells us that Russini was
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: driving along the same road as the jeep and the
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: accident happened and right in front of her car. Quote
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: she ran out and had a tall man put her
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: on top of the jeep to open the door, and
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: she and the other guy pulled the driver and his
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: dog out of the jeep and police arrived soon thereafter,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: and STU, what.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: We were laughing at is during the situation for Diana Russini,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: there's probably been a few people who've been in contact
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: with her more than you, with your guy's relationship and
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: how close you are with Diana, and it seems like
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: she just did not tell you that this happened.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I just spoke to her, I mean seriously today because
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to help my friend through a difficult time
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and trying to help her find some levity and some
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: laughter in her life, because I can't imagine what the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: last bunch of days have been like for Diana Ruscini.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: And we spoke for like twenty minutes. She did not
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: mention this at all, and she knows I don't read
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the newspaper, so she did not mention that she saved
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: an elderly man and a dog and had to be
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: lifted by a taller man in order to make the save.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: She did not mention it, and I just sent her
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a text going, how do you not mention this to me?
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: So I'm trying to put myself in her shoes, like
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: she's driving behind this accident and watches this happen. And
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: it's just like, is this going to be in the
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: news too if I help out? Because it probably will
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: be right funny, I sause now is going.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: To get attention.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It'd be funny if the tall guy didn't want to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: touch her because there's too much smoke around Rassini, so
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: he'd rather risk the elderly man and the dog passing
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: away that helping Diana Rassini become a hearro.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I mean about that, my goodness, Yes, don't touch, don't
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: get anywhere near me.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: I can give you a boost.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: From this direction, but that's about it. Maybe you want
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: to climb on something.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Right, because everywhere she goes, the post goes. I mean, it's.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable time, yes, but we should be applauding her. She
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: did a wonderful thing. I mean, how many people would
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: do that? Is he would you do that?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I would you know what I've driven? This is one
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: hundred percent truth. I've driven by accidents that have just happened,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: and I've said to myself, somebody else will take care
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: of that, because I don't know what to do. Like
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't know what to do if somebody was like
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: unconscious or something.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: I'd be like, I just make sure I look around.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: If I'm not the only one there, I'll just let
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: somebody else take care of it. But I've never been
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: in a situation like that where it looks like I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: the only one there, or it just happened right in
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: front of me. I would probably guess that, yes.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: I would, but I have sort of turned the other way.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: But if it was in your neighborhood, you probably you
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: would be more inclined to do it. I'm not certain
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: exactly where this was, but it wasn't like an I
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: ninety five, because on I ninety five, Yes I'm with you,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it happens right in front of me.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: It's like, hey, what am I going to do? You know?
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I like to think that I would help out in
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: this situation because it feels like Diana probably since the
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: severity of the situation and being able to spring into
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: action when you see an accident like that and you're
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: looking around and you don't see any medical personnel. But
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the opposite end of that spectrum for me, when I
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: get on a flight, I sign up for the emergency
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: row almost every time, and I always think, if something
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: happens on this plane, everybody here is counting on me
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: because I agreed to it. But I'm I'm gonna be
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the first person out of this plane. Comes the shof everybody. Look,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I know you're supposed to go first. I'm gonna set
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: the example. This is how you get the heck out
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: of here.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I'm always thinking, God forbid, there's an emergency. I didn't
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: listen to a word they said.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: If I'm buying SI in that car by the way,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: as the accident's happening, and I'm like, am I the
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: main character? Is there anybody else on this planet but me?
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Why is this happening to me? It's absolutely insane.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godsond Company
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Live Weekday, said three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: I always forget about the disclaimer that man starts talking.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Jimmy Hart, the Mouth of the South is going to
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: join us in.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: About fifteen minutes to promote and discuss Hulk Cogan the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: docu series coming out on Netflix, four part series Izzy,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I am told the Atlanta Hawks and the Knicks. Now,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: it's interesting because we have two more play in games tonight,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that we have to wait a week for these play
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: in tournament before we get to the actual playoffs.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: It drives me absolutely crazy.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: But I am told here that the Knicks and the Hawks,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: which is a series I think most people of all
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the first round series, maybe Denver Minnesota Knicks, Hawks, or
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the two series people are most looking forward to. I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: would put Oklahoma City in Golden State in that category.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: If Golden State could win the play in game tonight,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I just want to see what Steph does against SGA.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: But I am told that the Hawks are talking a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: little bit of smack as they head into this Knick
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: series and the Knicks. I'm telling you right now, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: said this earlier in the podcast. Jalen Brunson better get
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to an NBA final. I know no one's going to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: go after Jalen Brunston. I'm telling Jalen Brunson right now,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: if you don't get to the NBA Finals, I'm gonna
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: start going after Jalen Brunson.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: How about that.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he's I'm sure he's shaking in his boots
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: right now, putting all the pressure on Jaalen.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: But uh, there is.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: One I don't know if it's all the Hawks. There's
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: one particular Atlanta Hawk who said something. I'm gonna have
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Taylor read what he said to you, but after he
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: reads it, I want you to guess which Atlanta Hawks
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: said that is that?
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, yes, yes, yes.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: So a Hawk was asked how important is it to
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: get Game one Saturday and then said hawk said, I
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: think it's very important to hit him in the mouth.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: H wow, all right, So I have to I thought
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: there was a little bit more to that was that
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: it The added context is this this Hawk was a
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Pacer last.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Year, Stu.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: And then they're they're asking him about the Pacers winning
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Game one on the the Howilburton shot last year, and
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: he said The reporter asked, did you sense the Knicks
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: word demoralized after Game one last year? And this player said, oh,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, so it has to be someone good.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And just because Taylor said he was on the Pacers
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: last year, you would think that would that would be
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: a big clue for me.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: It's not.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I have no idea who was on the Pacers last
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: year other than Halliburton, okay and Nemhard or something like that. Well,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I can tell you it's neither of those two, Okay,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna have to be someone good. Trey Young
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: is no longer there. I am just learning that CJ
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: McCollum is on the Hawks. But I know CJ. He
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't talk like that, right, I'm gonna guess Jalen Johnson.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: That's the Well wait, was he? Was he a Pacer?
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: No, he was not, But you know what, that's a
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: fine guess. It was not Jalen Johnson. You can keep guessing,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: but we're not gonna have enough time in the day
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: because you'll never get it. It was Are you ready
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: for this? Yeah, Tony Bradley, who an actual UNC tar heel,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Which is this is how I knew that I really
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: checked out on college basketball for a few years because
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: to know every single tar heel that's in the NBA,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: and that snuck in a Tony Bradley that I'd never
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: heard about. And now he's sitting here talking smack to
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: the New York Knicks.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Well, to be fair to you, is he Tony Bradley
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: played one season at North Carolina, the year that they
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: won the title in twenty seventeen. He was a I'm
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: pretty sure he was a five star recruit, but he
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: came off the bench for them that season. He was
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: like the sixth or seventh man.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: If you're the Hawks coach, that's the last guy. And
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know who the Hawks coach is, but if
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: you are the Hawks coach, Quinn Snyder, that's right. I
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: was trying to get him on. If you are the
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Hawks coach, though, that's the last guy you want saying anything, right.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: I mean anybody who First of all, if you're the
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: sixth seed in this situation and you're the Hawks who
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: haven't been in the playoffs since Trey Young did his
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: whole dice thing or whatever that was, or was that
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: during the regular season, anyway, you should not be talking
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: smack if you are the Atlanta Hawks in general. Now,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: you could argue that maybe that is very tame as
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: it pertains to smack talk, but you also gotta be
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: careful who you are, Like, you know, anything is going
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: to set off somebody, right, you could use anything as motivation.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Just don't give him anything, especially if you're Tony Bread.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: It's the last guy you ought. If you're the Logs coach,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: it's Quinn Snyder, is he? Why were you telling me
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: earlier that conk Nipple gets too much love? I love Conkinipple, man,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: con Kanell, everybody does.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Everybody loves them some Conkinipple, and I'm not saying he
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: doesn't deserve some of the love, but it's driving me crazy.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: The conversation now the votes are in whatever as of today,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: driving me crazy. At this conversation for Rookie of the Year,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I saw Tim Bontemp said that he voted for Cooper
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Flag but had a very difficult.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Time with it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: And I'm just like why. I mean, if you voted
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: for the right person, why'd you have a difficult time
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: with it?
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Well, the good Cooper's great, the team wasn't very good.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: But this is what bugs me. It's rookie of the year.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: So Draymond Green said, when did winning stop mattering? It
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: never mattered and Rookie of the Year never taken from
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: an old head right here who has voted for years
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: in the day, winning never mattered for Rookie of the Year.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Let me just say this about Draymond Green. Okay, he's
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: lived a charmed NBA life. He landed on the right
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: team with the right guys, Splash Brothers, right coach and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Steve Kerr, and won a bunch of championships. If he
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: played on the Wizard, we wouldn't know his name. Okay,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: how about that?
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: That's that's very true, very true.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Also, Ricardo with a great nickname for conkineppl King Kong fantastic.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: We're gonna have to use that for the rest of time.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it is. It's never winning has never mattered
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: when it comes to Rookie of the Year. What you
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: want to see from a rookie is just his ability
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: and and him putting it onto the court. And the
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Mavericks weren't tanking, and they were utilizing him as their
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: main option, of course, as their number one guy. But
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: who else are they going to go to? Like that
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: wasn't something just to boost his numbers. And if you
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: watch or study his tape, so I'm sure you're gonna do, Stu.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: From the beginning of the year to the end of
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: the year, Cooper got so much better. And then with
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: just handing guys, handing teams forty and fifty and so
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: conk Nipple never had that level of responsibility and would
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: probably look awful if we were to give him that
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: level of responsibility this year. So there's just no chance
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: that CON's Rookie of the Year. Great second option, great,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: you know, number two in the voting probably in all likelihood,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: and you know, off rookie first team. But get out
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: of here with the I had a hard time Cooper
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Flags should be Rookie of the Year. The wins don't
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: have anything to do with it, and they again, they
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: weren't tanking per se.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: That team was just putting people out there and losing.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say in Canipple's defense is the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Hornets are a lot better, same players they added him,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and the Hornets appear to be a lot better and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: have made the playoffs here or at least a playing game,
