The Gamble on Sorsby (w/ Gojo) · Stugotz and Company

0:10
Speaker 1: Mike Gola Junior has returned from a long vacation, a
0:14
Speaker 1: trip to Italy. How was your trip, buddy?
0:17
Speaker 2: It was awesome everything that I believed, A trip where
0:20
Speaker 2: I would do nothing but eat every carb offered to me,
0:25
Speaker 2: try every dessert within reach, and drink impossible amounts of wine,
0:30
Speaker 2: all somehow without getting hungover, ever feeling full. Shout out
0:33
Speaker 2: to however, Italy and the Europeans go about producing their
0:37
Speaker 2: food and beverages, because, man, I tell you, I felt
0:40
Speaker 2: great the entire time.
0:41
Speaker 1: Yes, mikey A. It's a long way to go and
0:43
Speaker 1: a lot of money to spend to avoid Nicks coverage.
0:46
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I get it. I want to
0:52
Speaker 2: be clear. You could not avoid Knicks coverage even over there,
0:56
Speaker 2: So really it is the Knicks aer worldwide. Dolly.
0:59
Speaker 1: Yes, what'd you make of that? Taylor? It changes life?
1:02
Speaker 1: Taylor hung out by Madison Square Garden. He's in New
1:05
Speaker 1: York now, he's going to the parade on Thursday. You
1:08
Speaker 1: know me, I've been waiting for this for my entire life?
1:12
Speaker 1: What'd you make of the Knicks finally getting it done here?
1:14
Speaker 2: I was really glad I got to get back over
1:17
Speaker 2: to the States to watch the end because the games
1:19
Speaker 2: were on at three in the morning over there with
1:20
Speaker 2: the time difference, so I would wake up and find
1:23
Speaker 2: out what happened for the first couple of games of
1:25
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. And I said this to I think
1:28
Speaker 2: it was just the other day when we were talking
1:30
Speaker 2: on our pod. Where is it that something in sports
1:35
Speaker 2: actually lives up to what I hoped it would be.
1:37
Speaker 2: Like we all talked about in sports media, Oh what
1:40
Speaker 2: a coup this would be if the Knicks could actually
1:43
Speaker 2: make a deep postseason run and get to the finals.
1:45
Speaker 2: We all kind of stopped short of like, oh, what
1:47
Speaker 2: if they actually won? But even the Knicks getting to
1:49
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, what that would mean for a town
1:51
Speaker 2: in New York that's had success and plenty of other sports.
1:54
Speaker 2: But everyone, you, every Knicks fan in my life has
1:56
Speaker 2: always made it clear, Yeah, it doesn't really matter what
1:59
Speaker 2: the rest of them do. This is a basketball town
2:01
Speaker 2: and they want so desperately for the Knicks to be
2:03
Speaker 2: the thing. And the ride up and through this championship,
2:07
Speaker 2: you know, I haven't yet seen the parade has all
2:09
Speaker 2: lived up to exactly what I thought it would look, feel, sound,
2:13
Speaker 2: smell like for this kind of cathartic moment for New
2:17
Speaker 2: York's basketball team to have, so no, I thought it
2:20
Speaker 2: was awesome. It's a very likable team, you know, with
2:24
Speaker 2: the Villanova Nicks and having Jalen Brunton be kind of
2:27
Speaker 2: the face of all this. There's a lot of easy
2:29
Speaker 2: stuff to like, and then you get all the shots
2:32
Speaker 2: of New York descending into chaos that were exactly what
2:34
Speaker 2: we were looking for.
2:35
Speaker 1: So this is the interesting part to me, Did you
2:38
Speaker 1: find yourself rooting for this next team?
2:41
Speaker 2: I still don't think I ever quite got to that point.
2:45
Speaker 2: Like I didn't overcorrect on the Victor Webbin Yama hate
2:50
Speaker 2: as much as it seemed like a lot of people
2:51
Speaker 2: did nationally. I still, selfishly, as someone that works in
2:55
Speaker 2: this job, just root for series to go longer and
2:57
Speaker 2: be entertaining. And that's the thing. This series, despite being
3:00
Speaker 2: over in five games, wildly entertaining every game super close,
3:04
Speaker 2: obviously all the blown double digit leads for the Spurs.
3:06
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I ever quite got to
3:09
Speaker 2: where I was like actively rooting for the Knicks. I
3:11
Speaker 2: had plenty of friends I would watch with. I still
3:13
Speaker 2: wanted the series to go longer because it had been
3:15
Speaker 2: so compelling. But I did find myself very happy for
3:19
Speaker 2: the Knicks, very happy for the Knicks fans in my life,
3:21
Speaker 2: if that makes sense, Gojo.
3:23
Speaker 3: There is some juxtaposition there with how likable this Knicks
3:26
Speaker 3: team is and how generally unlikable New York is as
3:31
Speaker 3: fan bases. But do you think people that don't like
3:34
Speaker 3: the Knicks can take some solace knowing that if the
3:38
Speaker 3: Knicks can win, why can't anybody else?
3:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's like Indiana in football. Yeah.
3:44
Speaker 2: Well, I honestly like that. That was selfishly. I make
3:47
Speaker 2: everything about me, make everything about Notre Dame like that was.
3:50
Speaker 2: That was the effect that Michigan winning a few years
3:52
Speaker 2: ago had on me as a college football fan, where
3:55
Speaker 2: I said, oh, if they can win it like that,
3:58
Speaker 2: this is a lot more accessible than it used to be,
4:00
Speaker 2: and maybe we can do the same being you know,
4:02
Speaker 2: the team that's my alma mater, and so I think
4:05
Speaker 2: there could be some of that. Like I also think
4:08
Speaker 2: that just kind of fits into the larger pattern with
4:10
Speaker 2: the NBA as of late, where you've got eight different
4:12
Speaker 2: years with a different champion right now like Adam Silver,
4:15
Speaker 2: and the NBA have been chasing the NFL level of
4:18
Speaker 2: parody brother, you know, you chase down that mailman like
4:21
Speaker 2: you're the dog chasing after it and you didn't know
4:23
Speaker 2: what to do till you found it. You're there now.
4:25
Speaker 2: So yeah, every year now feels like we have to
4:28
Speaker 2: kind of reevaluate who can do this in an era
4:31
Speaker 2: of the NBA that is, you know, more or less
4:34
Speaker 2: hard capped now with the second apron and changes the
4:37
Speaker 2: way a lot of this goes. But you know, the
4:39
Speaker 2: Knicks doing it around a small garden a way that
4:41
Speaker 2: very few people thought was possible, and you know, working
4:44
Speaker 2: on the power of friendship and all these different things
4:47
Speaker 2: that went into this championship, they can do that. It's
4:49
Speaker 2: still hard. Like ultimately, it's kind of like football. The
4:53
Speaker 2: easiest path your hopes and dreams is still finding a
4:56
Speaker 2: generational quarterback because that can change so much. And the
4:59
Speaker 2: easy path to victory if the NBA is still having
5:02
Speaker 2: the best player in the world play for your team,
5:05
Speaker 2: because one guy on a court where there's five players
5:07
Speaker 2: on each side can affect so much. But the Knicks
5:10
Speaker 2: found a way to find a team that constantly was
5:12
Speaker 2: able to offset somebody's off night. Jalen Brunson having a
5:16
Speaker 2: down first four games and always find answers.
5:19
Speaker 1: Gojo, You'll love this because you and I always laugh
5:21
Speaker 1: at the media coverage the media game. So I'm watching
5:25
Speaker 1: Get Up this morning. So the Knicks won the title.
5:28
Speaker 1: You know, they spent the entire day yesterday talking Knicks
5:31
Speaker 1: and for the last month really on Get Up. It's
5:33
Speaker 1: been wall to wall coverage at NBA playoffs, New York
5:36
Speaker 1: Knicks the pursuit of a championship, and we.
5:39
Speaker 2: Celebrated for a day.
5:40
Speaker 1: And then today I turn on Get Up and they're
5:43
Speaker 1: ranking the top ten guys left in NFL free agency,
5:47
Speaker 1: like some guys you can still pick up. And they're
5:49
Speaker 1: also doing draft rankings, which is like soresby talking about
5:52
Speaker 1: swords by talking about next year's college football season. I'm like,
5:56
Speaker 1: we enjoyed the Knicks for a single day, and we're
5:59
Speaker 1: on to the NFL in college football.
6:01
Speaker 2: That really surprised me because I get in general it
6:04
Speaker 2: is hard to build up enough inertia to break through
6:08
Speaker 2: the wall of football that generally tends to dominate national
6:10
Speaker 2: sports talk coverage. I thought the Knicks winning, of all things,
6:15
Speaker 2: would be that thing, just because I mean, they had
6:20
Speaker 2: everything like you had again, a team with a likable
6:23
Speaker 2: superstar in Jalen Brunson, a roster bonded by all these
6:26
Speaker 2: Villanova guys, which generally just pointed this out, makes it
6:29
Speaker 2: the Pope's team considering he's a Villanova grad. So at
6:32
Speaker 2: that angle, you have the most robust and active celebrity
6:36
Speaker 2: row in the sport that became another character in this
6:39
Speaker 2: entire thing. And there's probably still people flooding the streets
6:42
Speaker 2: of New York City. I figure, we just set up
6:44
Speaker 2: a live cam in Manhattan or in all the burroughs
6:47
Speaker 2: and just keep going to that the way they did
6:49
Speaker 2: after the championship and call that a day for our
6:52
Speaker 2: coverage in the week.
6:53
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, but you know this, So they get into
6:55
Speaker 1: their morning meeting and someone says, sorees me going to
6:57
Speaker 1: the supplemental draft? What do we lead with today?
7:00
Speaker 2: Like swords? I mean, to be fair, what a strange
7:06
Speaker 2: arc this has all been. And I was having the
7:10
Speaker 2: discussion with friends the other day about that, like why
7:13
Speaker 2: college football in the offseason can tend to gravitate towards
7:17
Speaker 2: so much of these legal matters, like the sport just
7:20
Speaker 2: isn't spread out with its actual nuts and bolts activities,
7:24
Speaker 2: like you know, the transfer portal, which is college football's
7:27
Speaker 2: free agency, the signing period, which is college football's draft,
7:30
Speaker 2: Like all those taking place in that same window as
7:33
Speaker 2: the championship period kind of robs you of the EBB
7:36
Speaker 2: and flow. The NFL has to their offseason where all
7:38
Speaker 2: these things are spread out, and so what we're left with,
7:41
Speaker 2: especially now in the sport is just a bunch of
7:43
Speaker 2: weird court cases that pop up to try and determine
7:45
Speaker 2: the sports future. And this Soresby thing, it was the
7:50
Speaker 2: combination of so many of the different issues facing college football.
7:54
Speaker 2: I kind of get why that one checks all the boxes.
7:58
Speaker 2: If you're a national sports talk show, that's hard to ignore.
8:01
Speaker 2: Yes it is.
8:02
Speaker 1: You know, if an NFL GM likes Soorsby, he's gonna
8:05
Speaker 1: put the gambling stuff aside and take Sorsby. He's that talented, right.
8:10
Speaker 2: He's incredibly talented. There are still areas where I think
8:13
Speaker 2: he can improve overall. Like I've seen a lot of
8:16
Speaker 2: people banter about like a supplemental draft round, but like
8:19
Speaker 2: round four or five, because again for anyone unfamiliar like
8:22
Speaker 2: you have to then give up that pick in that
8:26
Speaker 2: round of the upcoming twenty twenty seven drafts. So you're
8:28
Speaker 2: weighing that opportunity. And I think I saw Daniel Jeremiah
8:31
Speaker 2: was on McAfee and pointed out that if you are
8:34
Speaker 2: an NFL GM that likes him, you're less concerned about
8:37
Speaker 2: could there be a looming suspension because to his point,
8:40
Speaker 2: this guy's arriving for fall training camp as a rookie.
8:43
Speaker 2: He's not going to impact your twenty twenty seven season.
8:46
Speaker 2: It's just not possible. Like the running joke when when
8:49
Speaker 2: I got to training camp at the Steelers is a rookie.
8:51
Speaker 2: The first thing they told you is you're behind. Right.
8:54
Speaker 2: They've been there for weeks already doing the offseason program,
8:57
Speaker 2: and these are veterans who have been around, who have
8:59
Speaker 2: been through the playbook. A time like this is review
9:01
Speaker 2: time for them and getting acclimated some of the new
9:04
Speaker 2: guys on the team, maybe new coaches, but for the
9:06
Speaker 2: most part they're adding to, not building the foundation the
9:10
Speaker 2: way you are as a rookie. And I thought that
9:11
Speaker 2: was a great point by DJ. It's like you risk
9:14
Speaker 2: very little this season bringing him in, because again, he's
9:18
Speaker 2: a talented player, but he was I think even in
9:20
Speaker 2: the best case scenario, maybe not going to come in
9:23
Speaker 2: and be your day one starter, and that's definitely not
9:25
Speaker 2: gonna happen now if he's just showing up at fall
9:28
Speaker 2: training camp and that's his first introduction to your organization.
9:32
Speaker 2: So this is kind of a gap year for him anyway,
9:34
Speaker 2: and that could work in the favor of an NFL franchise.
9:37
Speaker 2: That's waying, all right? Do I want to give up
9:39
Speaker 2: a draft pick next year, knowing I probably wouldn't have
9:42
Speaker 2: this guy? So shout out to Daniel Jeremiah, who, as
9:44
Speaker 2: usual very smart.
9:45
Speaker 1: Mikey, I know you well enough to know you want
9:48
Speaker 1: the Jets to take him, don't you. You do just
9:50
Speaker 1: take a flyer?
9:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, why not if it's gonna cost me
9:54
Speaker 4: a fourth round or a fifth round pick to bring
9:56
Speaker 4: in a quarterback who.
9:57
Speaker 2: Is that talented?
9:59
Speaker 4: And then, baby, you can find a little diamond in
10:02
Speaker 4: the rough.
10:03
Speaker 2: I mean, when you're when you're crazy.
10:05
Speaker 4: Games, I mean, Jesus, I mean honestly, I mean, when
10:08
Speaker 4: you're when you're when you're that far behind as a franchise,
10:11
Speaker 4: you just keep throwing things at the wall until you
10:13
Speaker 4: get it right.
10:15
Speaker 2: The Jets situation is kind of interesting though, because a
10:17
Speaker 2: lot of people assume you guys are going to be
10:19
Speaker 2: in the running for the number one pick next year
10:21
Speaker 2: in a much more quarterback rich draft. It could kind
10:24
Speaker 2: of be insurance for that. Yeah, you know that's what Mike.
10:27
Speaker 1: He's saying, take Soresby and then take a quarterback next
10:29
Speaker 1: year as well.
10:29
Speaker 2: Yes, well, because I mean realistically, and this is gonna
10:32
Speaker 2: be the weird part. Like you know, we always have
10:34
Speaker 2: to do the sports media caveat. We hate talking about
10:36
Speaker 2: someone's job, but man, if things go as bad as
10:38
Speaker 2: people predicted could, Aaron Glenn's probably not the coach of
10:41
Speaker 2: the Jets come next year, and you're talking about some
10:43
Speaker 2: pretty substantial changes there that would also make the Soresby
10:47
Speaker 2: acquisition kind of interesting in this but at the very least,
10:51
Speaker 2: if this year's quarterback class in college does what last
10:54
Speaker 2: year's quarterback class did, which was come in like lions
10:58
Speaker 2: and go out like lambs, and this could all of
11:00
Speaker 2: a sudden give you someone waiting in the wings that
11:03
Speaker 2: is talented that you got for a relative bargain, et cetera,
11:06
Speaker 2: et cetera.
11:08
Speaker 1: It's so interesting, Mikey, I'm with you. I take Sorsby
11:10
Speaker 1: as well I would, and I just keep til they
11:13
Speaker 1: get it right.
11:14
Speaker 2: Yes, you just need one to work. Well, it's like
11:18
Speaker 2: you said, ste Gott's, this is also someone easier to sell,
11:21
Speaker 2: like you're not going and picking a guy like some
11:23
Speaker 2: of the quarterback evals lately have been complicated by guys
11:26
Speaker 2: that are smaller. Trinidad Shambles is fascinating because sidewise he
11:28
Speaker 2: has making this dude's like six four two thirty five,
11:31
Speaker 2: like he is built like you want. Yes, you can.
11:35
Speaker 1: You can sell any sort of hope, even hope that
11:37
Speaker 1: comes with gambling attached to it.
11:38
Speaker 2: To the Jet fan base.
11:39
Speaker 1: You can't sell to green Bay, But to the Jet
11:41
Speaker 1: fan base you can absolutely sell that in and.
11:43
Speaker 2: They will applaud you. I mean no doubt. Call it
11:47
Speaker 2: what it is.
11:48
Speaker 5: Desperate times. Yeah, we perhaps might be the desperate team
11:54
Speaker 5: that will take this quarterback. I'm very excited about this,
11:57
Speaker 5: mike Ya. I started today saying I don't want Sorsby.
12:00
Speaker 5: I'm thinking I want him over anyone.
12:02
Speaker 6: I mean, seriously, tell me you can't see green Bay
12:04
Speaker 6: taking him?
12:05
Speaker 4: And then we just signed Jordan Love in four years
12:08
Speaker 4: to a massive contract.
12:09
Speaker 2: As the Jets either way quarterback room gets solved.
12:12
Speaker 1: No, I could tell you I could see how I
12:13
Speaker 1: was taking sores By and him getting good in Green
12:15
Speaker 1: Bay five years after the fact, and we don't have
12:19
Speaker 1: Jordan Love.
12:22
Speaker 2: Because why would he choose to go here? I mean
12:24
Speaker 2: to the Jets.
12:25
Speaker 1: Steve Gott's here. The biggest stage in world soccer is here,
12:28
Speaker 1: and every goal changes everything. And now FanDuel's giving you
12:32

13:50
Speaker 1: Might get into the World Cup at all?
13:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I so I was talking to you guys. I
13:55
Speaker 2: think before we started recording, you know, the World Cup
13:58
Speaker 2: was getting ready to get started when I I was
14:00
Speaker 2: coming back from Italy and just in the lead up,
14:02
Speaker 2: like it had felt like maybe it was you know,
14:05
Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs and our focus on that. Like you said,
14:07
Speaker 2: football is always time and ever present things. I hadn't
14:10
Speaker 2: felt like there had been as much buzz in the
14:13
Speaker 2: lead up, especially like I'm in Los Angeles. So far
14:15
Speaker 2: has had a couple of great games already, including Team
14:18
Speaker 2: USA's first game. But I do think Team USA having
14:22
Speaker 2: such a strong showing where I'm not, you know, Mike Ryan,
14:26
Speaker 2: I don't have the depth and breadth of soccer watching
14:28
Speaker 2: in my background here, but I'm like everyone else when
14:31
Speaker 2: the World Cup starts, I pay attention to Team USA,
14:33
Speaker 2: see if we're finally going to take that next step
14:35
Speaker 2: that everyone's been prophesizing and this was the best that
14:39
Speaker 2: we had ever seen in terms of confidence, creativity. They
14:42
Speaker 2: were constantly attacking, possessing the football. I understand the competition,
14:46
Speaker 2: but seeing us come out and have such a strong
14:50
Speaker 2: showing kind of gave me that, oh, okay, maybe there's
14:53
Speaker 2: some hope and now I'm invested in. Now it's like, well,
14:56
Speaker 2: let me watch some of the teams that we could play,
14:58
Speaker 2: maybe check this out, and then you add in. It's
15:00
Speaker 2: been the coolest factor, which has been all of the videos,
15:03
Speaker 2: news stories, social media, groundswell of people coming from overseas
15:08
Speaker 2: and experiencing American things in the cities that are hosting
15:11
Speaker 2: their team, like you know, the Algerian team being in
15:14
Speaker 2: Kansas being fully embraced by Jayhawk fans, the Scots waking
15:18
Speaker 2: up early in Boston and having themselves a time. Freddie
15:21
Speaker 2: the German soccer fan making his trip across the country
15:24
Speaker 2: and enjoying everything that's come with that, Like, it's been
15:27
Speaker 2: really fun to actually see despite all the like geopolitical
15:32
Speaker 2: awful differences that are going on, that these like wonderful
15:35
Speaker 2: inner minglings of culture have really been like what's been
15:38
Speaker 2: the foundation of my excitement.
15:40
Speaker 4: So are they you were in Italy? Do they have
15:44
Speaker 4: World Cup fever? Are they still coming down from the
15:46
Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic? Is that or is that where they're at?
15:49
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think none of the above. I caught a
15:53
Speaker 2: Champions League final over there, that was about it. But
15:57
Speaker 2: other than that, like, I was also in the tourist area,
15:59
Speaker 2: so a lot of the people I was walking around
16:01
Speaker 2: would look like me.
16:03
Speaker 3: Kojo, What did you make of the early contender for
16:07
Speaker 3: the story of the World Cup where Cape Verde, the
16:10
Speaker 3: third smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup,
16:13
Speaker 3: held favorite Spain to a scoreless draw. The story their
16:17
Speaker 3: goalkeeper Vosnia, forty years old. He had seven saves, forcing
16:22
Speaker 3: the game to a tie.
16:24
Speaker 1: STU.
16:24
Speaker 3: Yesterday he woke up with fifty thousand followers on Instagram.
16:28
Speaker 2: Wow.
16:29
Speaker 3: He currently has over eight million followers.
16:32
Speaker 1: Wow. That's what seven saves will do for you.
16:34
Speaker 2: I mean, man, I tell you what. First off, that
16:39
Speaker 2: would stress me out so much, cause you guys know,
16:42
Speaker 2: when you wake up and like social media, your social
16:46
Speaker 2: media is buzzing, You're like, oh God, what happened? Like
16:49
Speaker 2: is something wrong? Like what has happened here? But then
16:53
Speaker 2: once it settles in here, that man a we know
16:57
Speaker 2: in his home country, never gonna have to pay for
16:59
Speaker 2: a drinking in his life, But eight million followers on
17:02
Speaker 2: Instagram that's real money. Like, my guy is a made
17:06
Speaker 2: man now with that. So I would be kind of
17:09
Speaker 2: like Ben Affleck and Goodwill hunting, kicking my feet up
17:12
Speaker 2: on the table in a suit, shouting retainer because you're
17:15
Speaker 2: gonna have to pay me. Advertisers coming to try and
17:18
Speaker 2: get a little bit of this new eight million follower goodness.
17:21
Speaker 1: It's the best scoreless results ever, You would agree, right,
17:23
Speaker 1: I mean.
17:25
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And that's it's like the American education in soccer.
17:28
Speaker 2: Every time a world event like this comes up, where
17:31
Speaker 2: like we have exciting draws, like you can move on
17:34
Speaker 2: by losing in the group stage and still having enough points,
17:37
Speaker 2: Like it's so foreign to all of us. So every
17:39
Speaker 2: time I feel like people are like what And it
17:41
Speaker 2: takes a minute for it to seep in, But like
17:44
Speaker 2: there's been a bunch of very exciting draws, very exciting
17:47
Speaker 2: scoreless matches, and you know who doesn't love a goalie
17:50
Speaker 2: standing on his head because then we get to say that.
17:52
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, it's a barrage in soccer.
17:54
Speaker 2: Seventh saves.
17:55
Speaker 1: It's a record. It has to be a record, right,
17:56
Speaker 1: Seven saves in a soccer game has to be a record. Right,
17:58
Speaker 1: These were shots on goal in your personal record book, Mikey,
18:05
Speaker 1: He and I have spent You've been great, You're always great.
18:07
Speaker 1: We love you. But we have spent the entire time
18:09
Speaker 1: texting back and forth about your wedding and wondering if
18:12
Speaker 1: we're any closer to head orgeron in a bathing suit
18:17
Speaker 1: by the baby by the swimming pool, because your wife
18:20
Speaker 1: has agreed to have a bathing suit only party, a
18:23
Speaker 1: wedding party. There's no way she agreed to this. We're
18:25
Speaker 1: not closer. We're further than we've ever been, right.
18:28
Speaker 2: We are further than we've ever been from bathing suit wedding.
18:33
Speaker 2: That one got shut down as quickly as you would think.
18:39
Speaker 2: Coach O there still in the mix. And I guess
18:41
Speaker 2: what's been established is if Coach O were willing to
18:45
Speaker 2: come and be a part of this wedding in any
18:47
Speaker 2: form that he wants. Again, Yes, I would love him
18:49
Speaker 2: to officiate. He can wear whatever he wants. O. I
18:53
Speaker 2: don't care. He's Coach O, come as you are. But
18:56
Speaker 2: so yes, we have to wave bye bye to the
18:58
Speaker 2: to the bathing suit wedding, but still puttentially hello to
19:01
Speaker 2: ed Ordron.
19:02
Speaker 1: Okay, but the pool's out. That whole thing is out
19:04
Speaker 1: right pools out. Yeah, you discussed it whe her and
19:07
Speaker 1: she said, uh no, right, no, kind of.
19:10
Speaker 2: It almost like patted me on the head and was like,
19:13
Speaker 2: that's cute. Yeah, what a cute thing you thought of.
19:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're adorable, rights.
19:19
Speaker 2: Bless your heart. And then just the kind of it's
19:21
Speaker 2: it's kind of becoming like my dad, who you know,
19:24
Speaker 2: is like an iPad kid, you know my mom. If
19:26
Speaker 2: he's acting up, can just hand him his iPad. He
19:28
Speaker 2: can go and watch your shows with me. It's like, hey,
19:32
Speaker 2: you know, you can go watch some of your stories,
19:33
Speaker 2: or you know, go play your dumb college football video.
19:35
Speaker 1: Let him dream.
19:36
Speaker 2: The grown up will handle the wedding.
19:38
Speaker 4: You know what I'm going to do with this idea,
19:40
Speaker 4: I'm going to put it right here on the fridge,
19:43
Speaker 4: right here, so we can see where it is. Good job.
19:47
Speaker 2: Look here you are.
19:53
Speaker 1: We had your dad on and told him what you
19:55
Speaker 1: were thinking. I've never heard your dad laugh as hard
19:58
Speaker 1: as it did when we I voted the idea that
20:01
Speaker 1: you wanted a pool party as your wedding reception.
20:05
Speaker 2: It's this whole experience has kind of reminded me like
20:10
Speaker 2: how far behind everyone else I was? Yes, because I'm
20:13
Speaker 2: experiencing all these things with, you know, with love and
20:16
Speaker 2: the process of getting married now for the first time.
20:19
Speaker 2: My parents have obviously been married almost forty years. My
20:22
Speaker 2: brother and his wife were married like a decade, Like
20:25
Speaker 2: all my friends have been married a decade. And so
20:27
Speaker 2: I'm going through all this stuff and they're all being
20:29
Speaker 2: really kind to me and letting me experience this and
20:32
Speaker 2: not offering too much advice. But I have a feeling
20:35
Speaker 2: there's a lot of side group chats that are really
20:38
Speaker 2: laughing their asses off at just how dumb and naive
20:42
Speaker 2: I am about this whole process. Yes, I love you
20:44
Speaker 2: for it.
20:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like you were back with the Steelers.
20:47
Speaker 4: Your fiance is like you're behind.
20:49
Speaker 2: Okay, this is fine, welcome, You're great, but also figure
20:58
Speaker 2: it out.
20:58
Speaker 1: It out. So mikey A revealed and you you've known
21:02
Speaker 1: this about him for a while now because he told
21:03
Speaker 1: us a while ago. But I think we found a
21:05
Speaker 1: spot for mikey A at your wedding. Okay, mikey A
21:09
Speaker 1: revealed on the radio show that he was a party
21:11
Speaker 1: starter once its once, Maybe maybe you can get this
21:16
Speaker 1: past your bride to be Okay, mikey A hired as
21:20
Speaker 1: a party starter for the wedding. He gets everyone on
21:22
Speaker 1: the dance floor, he gets everyone excited for the party.
21:25
Speaker 4: You know, I work for food and drinks at this point, Hey,
21:29
Speaker 4: I work for babysitting money. If you could give my
21:32
Speaker 4: kid a babysitter and then just feed me and give
21:35
Speaker 4: me drinks, you.
21:35
Speaker 2: Don't need to give me anything else. I love this, honestly.
21:39
Speaker 2: That works perfectly because mikey A, that may be the
21:44
Speaker 2: single most valuable position at my wedding because that was
21:49
Speaker 2: usually me. I was the party starter the weddings that
21:52
Speaker 2: I was a guest at. And you're gonna be busy.
21:55
Speaker 2: That's the one thing I know for sure, and the
21:58
Speaker 2: hardest thing to combat is everyonding I've ever been to,
22:00
Speaker 2: the bride and groom barely have time to breathe, like
22:02
Speaker 2: I was the wedding I was at in Rome. The
22:05
Speaker 2: bride came through and didn't get to see any of
22:07
Speaker 2: the food and beverage laid out in the cocktail hour
22:10
Speaker 2: because they're preparing for pictures and doing all these different things,
22:13
Speaker 2: and so I am going to have to pass that
22:15
Speaker 2: baton officially to Mikey, who would be doing the most
22:18
Speaker 2: valuable service at the wedding, because I want it to
22:21
Speaker 2: be fun.
22:21
Speaker 1: Do it well right, walks around, tells Brian Kelly, Hey,
22:25
Speaker 1: get up already, get on the dance floor, get out here.
22:29
Speaker 2: He walks you walk by people. This is my favorite
22:32
Speaker 2: move too for the party started, because one of my
22:34
Speaker 2: friends did this to me in the last wedding too.
22:35
Speaker 2: Is out on the dance floor, the one who starts
22:38
Speaker 2: loosening the ties. Well, yeah, we're a couple of buttons
22:42
Speaker 2: off on you.
22:43
Speaker 1: Just you go.
22:44
Speaker 2: This is where we're at now, yep, this is where
22:47
Speaker 2: we're at in sweat a little bit, yes, a little
22:49
Speaker 2: bit more, and this is the high and tight. Not
22:52
Speaker 2: gonna do it for you.
22:53
Speaker 4: You gotta let it breathe, Let it breathe. Me and
22:55
Speaker 4: coacho choreographed dance just saying.
23:00
Speaker 2: I see now we're because you know because also, like
23:04
Speaker 2: every dance floor there ends up being a dance for circle.
23:07
Speaker 2: People usually want some of that. And now if you
23:09
Speaker 2: guys are willing to go out there and kickstart that party,
23:12
Speaker 2: everyone else joins in maybe. I mean you guys maybe
23:14
Speaker 2: got a little limbo. I could see you and coach
23:16
Speaker 2: o the belt together holding the tie.
23:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, Gojo, do me a favor. I'm not certain
23:22
Speaker 1: what the date is, but we have to plan this now.
23:24
Speaker 1: Maybe July. I'm thinking August. We don't want to mess
23:26
Speaker 1: with football season, and we don't want to mess with
23:28
Speaker 1: the Knicks going back to back.
23:29
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean just no, it's a fair point now,
23:32
Speaker 2: so I have to account for that the next you know,
23:35
Speaker 2: potential budding superpower. So we're we're gonna effort like a
23:38
Speaker 2: summer wedding here.
23:39
Speaker 1: In Los Angeles. I'll send you and your bride to
23:41
Speaker 1: be some dates that work for me. As that say
23:44
Speaker 1: perfect from there.
23:45
Speaker 2: That's it's good. You guys can help instead of like
23:47
Speaker 2: a instead of like a team draft, we can do
23:49
Speaker 2: the table draft on this show. Yes, I'll just come on.
23:53
Speaker 2: We can leave a list of names, and then we
23:55
Speaker 2: can have you guys help organize, especially like the sports
23:58
Speaker 2: media tables, you know, history friends. We could start to
24:01
Speaker 2: do that for maximum. I'm thinking too, and this is
24:04
Speaker 2: I just thought of this now. I want to run
24:06
Speaker 2: this by you guys. Okay, be a decent sports media
24:08
Speaker 2: presence that this one friend's made through the industry. You guys,
24:11
Speaker 2: others just putting a microphone at each table, like instead
24:14
Speaker 2: of putting a disposable camera. Every table's got to record
24:18
Speaker 2: a small podcast.
24:19
Speaker 1: I love it. Yes, Yes, Miena is gonna bring Lenny.
24:25
Speaker 2: Lenny's getting his own invitation. It's not even like the
24:28
Speaker 2: plus two situation. It's no mean and her husband will
24:31
Speaker 2: get the invitation and then Lenny will get his own
24:33
Speaker 2: in the mail.
24:34
Speaker 1: Yes, wow, but the offer is still standing. We can
24:37
Speaker 1: we can do the show live from there.
24:39
Speaker 2: Yes, oh yeah, live show. I'm still talking about trying
24:42
Speaker 2: to sell the wedding to like I The one thing
24:45
Speaker 2: that's become abundantly clear. Man, gonna lose some money on this.
24:53
Speaker 1: You'll lose some money the rest of your life, my friends.
24:55
Speaker 2: Like you know, we could. Every part of the wedding
24:58
Speaker 2: is up for sale, every part of the ceremony, live reads,
25:02
Speaker 2: add placement on my physical being on the tables, All
25:06
Speaker 2: of it can be yours if the price is right.
25:07
Speaker 2: I need help, Mike. He just wants food and drinking,
25:11
Speaker 2: a babysitter. That's it.
25:16
Speaker 1: We'll get this done. I love that you should have
25:18
Speaker 1: the tables as individual podcasts like have the Dominique Fox
25:21
Speaker 1: Sports show over there right, Charlie's with them.
25:24
Speaker 4: Ooh, table seventeen podcasts sounds wonderful, telling you such a
25:29
Speaker 4: good idea instead of like the little photo album where
25:32
Speaker 4: everyone goes and it's the disposable camera and you take
25:34
Speaker 4: the little picture and write the bride and groom a
25:36
Speaker 4: note full podcast like we can get video there.
25:39
Speaker 2: I'll put one of those three sixty cameras on the table.
25:42
Speaker 2: We'll make sure everyone's mics are up and recording, and
25:44
Speaker 2: then after it on the honeymoon, I just get to
25:46
Speaker 2: spend the flight listening to podcasts. My friend's probably talking
25:49
Speaker 2: about me at the wedding.
25:51
Speaker 1: Yep, Mikey, he has us doing radio shows podcasts, and
25:55
Speaker 1: then he's on the plane to his honeymoon listening to
