- 0:20Speaker 1: Christopher mad Dog Russo going to join us at three
- 0:23Speaker 1: point thirty at nan verk at four thirty. Nicks with
- 0:27Speaker 1: a big win last night and the Timberwolves with a
- 0:32Speaker 1: big win last night. Oh really, these games are keeping.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Me up late.
- 0:35Speaker 4: I'm going to stay the opposite. What do you mean,
- 0:37Speaker 4: I was dead asleep by the time that game ended. Really, yeah,
- 0:40Speaker 4: I had to rewatch the ending.
- 0:41Speaker 1: I mean one o four, one oh two. That's a
- 0:43Speaker 1: close game. That's a tight game. I'm surprised you fell asleep.
- 0:46Speaker 1: You've been waiting for the postseason all season.
- 0:47Speaker 5: My eyelids were tighter.
- 0:52Speaker 6: Real quickly.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Here before we get to t Wolves and Spurs, because
- 0:55Speaker 1: I think that's the more interesting game of the two
- 0:58Speaker 1: games played last night.
- 1:00Speaker 4: There was a third game played last night by the
- 1:02Speaker 4: hottest team in South Florida, but we'll get to that
- 1:04Speaker 4: at some point.
- 1:05Speaker 6: That would be their.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Softball team I mean, and we'll get to that in
- 1:08Speaker 1: just a second. By the way, it is a mount
- 1:11Speaker 1: Rushmore Monday. On a Tuesday, we will have a mount
- 1:13Speaker 1: Rushmore for you today. I have no idea what the
- 1:16Speaker 1: topic is. That's because Mikey gets to decide he is
- 1:19Speaker 1: the defending champion.
- 1:21Speaker 6: He still hasn't told us.
- 1:22Speaker 5: I wonder what that feels like.
- 1:24Speaker 1: You'll never know. It's a nice feeling, is it. Yeah,
- 1:28Speaker 1: do you have a topic yet? Have you picked one out?
- 1:30Speaker 7: I have a few.
- 1:32Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'll pick one, okay?
- 1:34Speaker 7: Is he?
- 1:34Speaker 6: I feel like Nick fans were in a dangerous spot.
- 1:36Speaker 1: I apologize to Taylor for not sharing in his excitement
- 1:39Speaker 1: earlier today when we take with Salakata the show. Before
- 1:42Speaker 1: the show, I apologized him. I should be more excited.
- 1:46Speaker 1: But these series are long, and people get carried away
- 1:49Speaker 1: with one game. And I've seen it too many times
- 1:52Speaker 1: where a team blows a team out in game one,
- 1:55Speaker 1: and that second team, the Sixers, will come back a
- 1:59Speaker 1: very desperate team here in game two, and I feel
- 2:02Speaker 1: like nick fans think this is the team, the team
- 2:05Speaker 1: they've seen since Game three that lost to Atlanta.
- 2:08Speaker 6: This is the team they're gonna see.
- 2:10Speaker 1: The rest of the way, and if that were the case,
- 2:12Speaker 1: they'd be the best team in NBA history.
- 2:15Speaker 4: I mean, what do they got to margin a victory
- 2:17Speaker 4: averaging about fifty the last couple of games. Yes, this
- 2:20Speaker 4: is interesting because I wanted to ask you both Taylor
- 2:22Speaker 4: and Stucatts as Knicks fans, this moment right here is
- 2:29Speaker 4: this And I'll.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Just ask Taylor, I guess because you've lived longer.
- 2:31Speaker 6: Stu, well, I've seen him in the finals, right right?
- 2:34Speaker 4: Is this the most optimism you've ever had for the
- 2:39Speaker 4: New York Knicks, Because even last year when they were
- 2:42Speaker 4: in the conference finals, they didn't look great. Right this
- 2:46Speaker 4: year in the second round, you're looking at how well
- 2:48Speaker 4: they're playing, and it's like, well, it feels like this
- 2:50Speaker 4: second round is gonna be, you know, an obvious cakewalk,
- 2:53Speaker 4: right and then you look at the opponent that's coming
- 2:55Speaker 4: up next, and you're not really shaken by you know,
- 2:58Speaker 4: the threat of that team. And so I'm just curious, Taylor, like,
- 3:01Speaker 4: it's got to be different than it was just a
- 3:03Speaker 4: few weeks ago when they were still figuring things out.
- 3:04Speaker 5: But right now, how good does it feel?
- 3:06Speaker 4: Is the top of your list of this is as
- 3:08Speaker 4: positive as I felt about a Knicks team is.
- 3:10Speaker 8: He It is not even close.
- 3:15Speaker 9: The most optimistic I've ever been about the Knicks four
- 3:17Speaker 9: years ago was the next four years ago. The most
- 3:20Speaker 9: optimistic I've ever been about the Knicks three years ago
- 3:22Speaker 9: was three years ago. And you could just keep doing
- 3:24Speaker 9: that until you get to present day, because it feels
- 3:27Speaker 9: like whenever we think we're at the peak of what
- 3:31Speaker 9: this Knicks team ceiling is, they kind of blow right
- 3:34Speaker 9: past it. And now it's hard to not watch this
- 3:37Speaker 9: team the past three four games, ever since they got
- 3:40Speaker 9: that wake up call against Atlanta and look at them
- 3:42Speaker 9: and be like, how isn't this team an NBA title contender.
- 3:46Speaker 1: You can bind that the fact that the Knicks are
- 3:48Speaker 1: playing so well with the fact of who's remaining in
- 3:51Speaker 1: the East.
- 3:51Speaker 6: The Celtics are out.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Now you have the Pistons and Calves playing in the
- 3:54Speaker 1: other series, but they're still Oklahoma City out west, and
- 3:58Speaker 1: that scares me.
- 3:58Speaker 5: Yeah, although you know the goal with this team.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Is get there, right like, yes, if you get to
- 4:03Speaker 4: the finals, you are still moving forward. You're going through
- 4:06Speaker 4: the stages, whatever it takes. And if you lose to
- 4:08Speaker 4: an Oklahoma City Thunder team, that is the current you know,
- 4:11Speaker 4: villain of the NBA. Okay, you're part of that story,
- 4:14Speaker 4: but at least its progress.
- 4:16Speaker 9: But even the Pacers took this thunder team to a
- 4:18Speaker 9: Game seven last year, and the Knicks had the the
- 4:21Speaker 9: Pacers like that was a pretty tight series. So I
- 4:24Speaker 9: don't really subscribe to the theory of, oh, the Knicks
- 4:27Speaker 9: just have to make it to the finals and then
- 4:29Speaker 9: you know you're going to be a severe underdog. Even
- 4:32Speaker 9: if they are an underdog. If you make it to
- 4:34Speaker 9: the finals, you might as well just go and go
- 4:36Speaker 9: ahead and win the whole thing.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Sure, I think, yeah, when you get there, it could
- 4:39Speaker 4: be where you know, because it's a first time for
- 4:42Speaker 4: Brunson and Cat, and Cat, you know, first time first
- 4:45Speaker 4: times in postseasons might not be the most reliable person.
- 4:48Speaker 4: But I think what's different about this sort of last
- 4:53Speaker 4: stretch of success. And obviously it comes at a playoffs,
- 4:56Speaker 4: so it's most crucial. But it's very and I read
- 4:58Speaker 4: an article about this in The Athletic which is very good.
- 5:00Speaker 4: But if you pay attention to the way this offense
- 5:03Speaker 4: is flowing, it's not because we joked earlier Taylor right
- 5:06Speaker 4: about oh, they all of a sudden discovered a pick
- 5:08Speaker 4: and roll between their two best players and that how
- 5:10Speaker 4: that's effective. But really it's just their offense in general,
- 5:13Speaker 4: sort of the read and reacting, the not needing a
- 5:16Speaker 4: singular sort of point of attack every single time to
- 5:20Speaker 4: be the same right. That's when you get guys like
- 5:23Speaker 4: Mikhale Bridges sort of flowing within the offense, making the
- 5:26Speaker 4: right cuts, finding his shots and just being wide open
- 5:29Speaker 4: and shooting seven of ten.
- 5:30Speaker 5: Same thing with.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Og who's just a beast if you either obviously leave
- 5:34Speaker 4: them open for a three or let him sort of
- 5:36Speaker 4: you know, pump, fake and drive that. Like when when
- 5:38Speaker 4: this offense is flowing, well, everybody's in their comfort zone,
- 5:42Speaker 4: especially now that Karl Anthony Towns has found where he
- 5:45Speaker 4: is within the offense.
- 5:45Speaker 6: I have to follow the face of one mikey A.
- 5:48Speaker 1: He's a good friend, and I always follow that face
- 5:50Speaker 1: because he's thinking what I'm probably thinking.
- 5:52Speaker 6: How about you beat the Sixers first?
- 5:54Speaker 7: Yeah, I just I just worry about you, Taylor. I
- 5:58Speaker 7: just worry about you. I can see the pad and
- 6:00Speaker 7: I'm worried for you because you're not gonna know the
- 6:05Speaker 7: joy You're not gonna find.
- 6:08Speaker 6: It's not gonna happen.
- 6:09Speaker 9: Right, Listen, you never want to overreact after one game,
- 6:12Speaker 9: and the six Senters were playing with house money in
- 6:16Speaker 9: that game one. They just really have to steal one
- 6:18Speaker 9: of the first two games in New York. I'll tell
- 6:21Speaker 9: you right now, I'll be the first one to say it.
- 6:23Speaker 9: This is the Vince Carter It's it's over. It's this
- 6:27Speaker 9: this series. We're on to the East time.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I mean, Ricardo board out. Ricardo marked the tape right now,
- 6:32Speaker 1: the moment this one's over.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Now, put me on that tape too, because.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if anyone marks tape because I said,
- 6:40Speaker 1: down three to one, the Sixers were gonna win that
- 6:41Speaker 1: series against the Celtics, and no one played it.
- 6:43Speaker 5: Where's his tape?
- 6:44Speaker 1: I mean, where's my tape? Yeah, it's all about tailor's clips.
- 6:47Speaker 6: I mean, geez.
- 6:48Speaker 4: I don't want to oversimplify this, because I do think
- 6:50Speaker 4: that the Sixers can make certain adjustments that will make
- 6:53Speaker 4: up for what I'm about to say. But when you
- 6:56Speaker 4: go from their last series in New York into this
- 6:59Speaker 4: series and you saying, okay, defensively, like I don't have
- 7:03Speaker 4: to worry about Dyson Daniels just locking up Jalen Brunton
- 7:06Speaker 4: one on one or you know, potentially just blowing up
- 7:08Speaker 4: a play like Tyre smaxyvj Edgecomb. They're okay defensively, but
- 7:12Speaker 4: they're not Dyson Daniels, and you're almost always going to
- 7:15Speaker 4: be facing this drop coverage of Joel Embiid. I'm sorry,
- 7:18Speaker 4: but Jaylen Bruns is gonna eat that up all day
- 7:20Speaker 4: long against a guy like emb that you can maybe
- 7:23Speaker 4: you know he's putting in more effort defensively, but even
- 7:26Speaker 4: that doesn't look like great defensive play.
- 7:28Speaker 1: I will say this to all Nick fans, those of
- 7:30Speaker 1: you who crushed Karl Anthony Towns, you do not get
- 7:33Speaker 1: to enjoy this. I mean, I don't care what time
- 7:35Speaker 1: it was, I don't care what day it was. I
- 7:36Speaker 1: don't care when you did it, how you did it,
- 7:38Speaker 1: if it was private, if it was public. You do
- 7:40Speaker 1: not get to enjoy Karl Anthony Towns having this kind
- 7:43Speaker 1: of postseason.
- 7:44Speaker 6: What are you shaking all about?
- 7:45Speaker 8: So so wrong?
- 7:47Speaker 9: It's well because you're one of them. It's laughably wrong.
- 7:51Speaker 9: Carl Anthony Towns. The relationship the Knicks fans have with
- 7:54Speaker 9: Karl Anthony Towns is we're allowed to talk about him, right,
- 7:57Speaker 9: Everybody else is not allowed to talk about him. Kendrick
- 8:00Speaker 9: Perkins comes out and says, Karl Anthony Towns is soft.
- 8:03Speaker 9: Knicks fans have their pitchforks out and be like, Perk,
- 8:07Speaker 9: let us know where we can find you in the street.
- 8:09Speaker 8: We'll come fight you. But if one of us says.
- 8:11Speaker 9: Hey, kar Anthony Towns, he's kind of soft, and everybody
- 8:14Speaker 9: kind of looks at each other and be like, yeah,
- 8:15Speaker 9: we know.
- 8:16Speaker 6: I don't think that's how it goes.
- 8:17Speaker 1: There's there have been times when if Perk said that,
- 8:20Speaker 1: you guys would agree with him.
- 8:21Speaker 5: Now, well, that's true, they do.
- 8:25Speaker 4: I feel like it's okay to agree if it's all
- 8:28Speaker 4: at the same time, right, because it's like it's all right.
- 8:30Speaker 4: I feel that way as well. But if they're going,
- 8:32Speaker 4: like if they're doing what Stu Gott's is saying now
- 8:34Speaker 4: and say you're not going to be able to trust
- 8:35Speaker 4: Cat the rest of the series, that's when you take offense.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Yeah, he's being great. The other series is he fell
- 8:40Speaker 1: asleep for the game at halftime.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Well, hang on, I think Taylor had one more thing.
- 8:43Speaker 6: Though, Really he hasn't gotten enough out of the New
- 8:45Speaker 6: York Nixon Carl.
- 8:47Speaker 9: It's just stu coming here trying to be the police
- 8:50Speaker 9: of who's allowed to cheer for who. Stucott should have
- 8:53Speaker 9: to pass a test to get back on the Knicks,
- 8:55Speaker 9: man Wig.
- 8:56Speaker 6: Really, okay, what's the test? Give me the test.
- 8:58Speaker 5: I'll give you a test. Yeah.
- 9:00Speaker 4: Name three non starters on this next team.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Let's see. Wow, non starter sham it's on there. I know, right,
- 9:08Speaker 1: and he's one of them. Mitchell Robinson perhaps see his second?
- 9:12Speaker 8: One third?
- 9:15Speaker 5: Wow?
- 9:16Speaker 4: He was looking up to he wasn't even looking at
- 9:17Speaker 4: his computer. Yeah, I'm telling you, yesud doing some betting.
- 9:21Speaker 6: If you would, if you would ask me for four,
- 9:23Speaker 6: I was going to be stuck.
- 9:24Speaker 5: I think you had a fourth.
- 9:25Speaker 6: I don't think.
- 9:26Speaker 5: I think you had a fourth.
- 9:27Speaker 6: I don't think I do.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Right, let's go to the other series. I can't believe
- 9:33Speaker 1: you fell asleep at halftime, but I understand these are
- 9:35Speaker 1: late games. I only thought from this.
- 9:37Speaker 5: Particular game, I was exhausted.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Well, and we have to break here because Christopher head
- 9:41Speaker 1: Dog Grisso was joining us. It's odd that he's joining us,
- 9:43Speaker 1: considering that he's live on.
- 9:45Speaker 6: The air right now.
- 9:48Speaker 5: Havenented that man, but he is.
- 9:50Speaker 6: He is going to join us.
- 9:51Speaker 1: There was a time is he where everyone laughed at
- 9:53Speaker 1: the t Wolve for trading for Rudy Gobert because the
- 9:56Speaker 1: big man has gone by the wayside. They looked more
- 9:59Speaker 1: like I'm bin Yama now then they do Rudy Gobert.
- 10:02Speaker 1: But Rudy Gobert has been the MVP defensively of these
- 10:05Speaker 1: playoffs so far.
- 10:06Speaker 4: No he had in he has been and he's been
- 10:08Speaker 4: locking some people up. But I'm gonna save this for later.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Wemby said something yesterday that can prove to people he's
- 10:16Speaker 4: not ready for this.
- 10:16Speaker 5: He's not ready for this first run and he probably
- 10:18Speaker 5: won't win it. Well, he'll play that later in the show.
- 10:20Speaker 6: He needs to stop talking.

- 12:29Speaker 6: champ gets to go first.
- 12:30Speaker 5: All right.
- 12:31Speaker 6: I hate the one pick.
- 12:32Speaker 7: My rain comes to an end, but I'm gonna go
- 12:34Speaker 7: with an ice cold beer.
- 12:36Speaker 6: All right, really cold beer, no specific time, just beer.
- 12:40Speaker 5: Beer's cold. You can go to London, gotta be con stuff.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Okay, to that London stuff all right, but individual beers,
- 12:46Speaker 1: thank you, Iowa Sam. Individual beers are for pouring a beer.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I love that sim individual beers are still.
- 12:53Speaker 6: Available though, right, I mean feeling they are.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Who was next?
- 12:57Speaker 6: Is he?
- 12:57Speaker 5: That's me? This one?
- 13:00Speaker 4: It's tough because I feel like I'm deciding between the
- 13:03Speaker 4: drink that starts your day or the drink that sort
- 13:06Speaker 4: of makes your day.
- 13:08Speaker 5: So it's either, you know, a coffee based drink.
- 13:11Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna say which one I was gonna choose,
- 13:13Speaker 4: but I think I'm just gonna have to go.
- 13:16Speaker 5: Margarita. Really, I'm going margarita. I'm going very specific. I'm
- 13:20Speaker 5: going to an alcoholic drink.
- 13:23Speaker 6: That is the drink you start your day with then
- 13:25Speaker 6: and your day?
- 13:27Speaker 2: Is it?
- 13:29Speaker 5: All right? Who's up?
- 13:30Speaker 7: Man?
- 13:31Speaker 1: I'm applying Dan sensibilities here because he's the judge bander.
- 13:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna he loves golf. So I'm gonna say an
- 13:37Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer. Wow, about that.

- 14:01Speaker 8: Back to you, all right.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a good old fountain coke. It cannot
- 14:04Speaker 1: be a bottle of coke. I don't want a can
- 14:06Speaker 1: of coke. I want a fountain Coca Cola from a
- 14:09Speaker 1: pizza parlor.
- 14:10Speaker 5: About that? Yes, Man's back to me.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Huh Yep, I'm gonna sound like an alcoholic if I
- 14:16Speaker 4: go back to back alcoholic.
- 14:19Speaker 6: I mean, you start every day with a margarita.
- 14:23Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with what I believe to be the
- 14:25Speaker 4: most popular version.
- 14:27Speaker 5: You know what. Nope, I'm just gonna have to go

- 18:07Speaker 9: smoothie pick. First off, he got the name wrong. Even
- 18:10Speaker 9: if he didn't get the name wrong, he was describing
- 18:13Speaker 9: this smoothie like it was this extravagant smoothie when two
- 18:16Speaker 9: picks before I picked a strawberry banana smoothie. And this
- 18:19Speaker 9: is why I'll put my hand up and say. I
- 18:21Speaker 9: texted Dan Bayer during the break's be like, hey, please
- 18:24Speaker 9: just review. Listen the name the smoothie that Stu gots picked, Yeah,
- 18:29Speaker 9: was just the strawberry banana smoothie with a different.

- 19:04Speaker 3: How about that? I was glad.
- 19:07Speaker 10: Yeah, I was going to warn you guys that you know,
- 19:10Speaker 10: trying to pander to me sometimes can work, but sometimes
- 19:12Speaker 10: it can backfire. And I think today is Today was
- 19:17Speaker 10: an interesting, interesting, I guess exercise. In this matter, you
- 19:22Speaker 10: may have been told something during the break that I
- 19:24Speaker 10: wasn't going to reveal until now for you guys.
- 19:28Speaker 3: And it's kind of like telling.
- 19:30Speaker 10: The the mother and father on the gender reveal a
- 19:33Speaker 10: day before what the gender is, because I feel Iowa
- 19:37Speaker 10: Sam may have let the cat out of the bags everywhere. Yes,

- 19:59Speaker 4: for Dan Bayer.
- 20:00Speaker 5: I apologize.

- 20:11Speaker 3: There was a golden ticket today. Oh wow, H two O.
- 20:15Speaker 10: Who doesn't love a delicious glass of ice cold water?
- 20:20Speaker 10: And if someone would teenagers just have gone simple and said,

- 20:26Speaker 10: to your table and say would you like some water?
- 20:28Speaker 5: No one says no, thank you.

- 20:38Speaker 6: Isy.
- 20:38Speaker 10: Yeah, you're fourth when seventy five percent of it is
- 20:41Speaker 10: is alcohol. I know that may not make me popular
- 20:44Speaker 10: with the masses. It's just the way that things are.
- 20:47Speaker 10: Pbr pbry asap was something my relatives love to say
- 20:53Speaker 10: growing up, just not to me. And having the angel

- 21:09Speaker 8: Is magic Bird right now and Mike match.
- 21:11Speaker 3: So it comes down to this.
- 21:14Speaker 10: It comes down to the one person who has no
- 21:16Speaker 10: alcohol in their drinks in any of them, or the
- 21:19Speaker 10: one who picked one. But they picked some really really
- 21:22Speaker 10: good drinks. Who doesn't love a nice tea or a
- 21:25Speaker 10: nice sweet tea. Maybe h throwing a little raspberry tea
- 21:30Speaker 10: in there. I think it covered all of them. That
- 21:31Speaker 10: was Mikey milkshake, chocolate vanilla, whatever, They're delicious. Yeah, Sprite.
- 21:37Speaker 10: If you would have went Mountain Dew, Mikey, you would
- 21:38Speaker 10: have been number one. But you didn't. You went Sprite,

- 21:58Speaker 7: You let Shirley Temple win.
- 21:59Speaker 6: Damn Dan.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question? Would this have suaded
- 22:02Speaker 1: you if I told you earlier today that Taylor said
- 22:05Speaker 1: he would not trade Jalen Brunson for Victor Wending Dama
- 22:10Speaker 1: straight up today he went to put on the poll.

- 22:21Speaker 4: bunch of Shirley Temples?
- 22:23Speaker 10: Sit around around for everybody Shirley make a rounds. I
- 22:27Speaker 10: would say that if Taylor By saying that, I thought
- 22:30Speaker 10: he would have drink all of Izzy's lists by the
- 22:33Speaker 10: time that he said that, because it was heavily filled
- 22:36Speaker 10: U with the with the alcohol. I was surprised chocolate
- 22:38Speaker 10: milk didn't make it. Who doesn't love them nice class
- 22:41Speaker 10: of chocolate milk? What about orange juice? Huh yeah oj
- 22:44Speaker 10: yeah my list and.
- 22:46Speaker 6: Some of us like to drink pasta. Yeah, but you
- 22:48Speaker 6: know what we should know, dan By? Now just keep
- 22:50Speaker 6: it simple, guys. That's it.
- 22:51Speaker 3: It's honest, very cheap, very meat and potatoes.
- 22:53Speaker 5: That's the Midwest of amost all of these things, little
- 22:58Speaker 5: side of garlic bread?
- 23:03Speaker 10: Can I can I defer to Sam or Jason on
- 23:06Speaker 10: as they drink alcohol? Would is He's roster have been
- 23:09Speaker 10: better if I actually drank Jason Stewart, Iowa, Sam.
- 23:17Speaker 3: I really like these choices.
- 23:19Speaker 9: I really like the Old Fashioned was a great, a
- 23:22Speaker 9: great choice, but it was so far off Fire's radar.
- 23:26Speaker 11: Solid Margeria does anything with tequila in, it's gonna get points.
- 23:30Speaker 5: Variety in there and the type of alcohol.
- 23:32Speaker 6: Come on, I know, but he's right. Though we left
- 23:34Speaker 6: out water.
- 23:35Speaker 4: I should have switched Look, my big mistake was switching
- 23:37Speaker 4: out I should have taken out coffee and put in
- 23:39Speaker 4: the espresso martini, and then I would have had a
- 23:41Speaker 4: consistent force them.
- 23:42Speaker 5: It would have been perfect.
- 23:43Speaker 11: And guys, I'm pretty sure John Day has actually gone
- 23:45Speaker 11: on record and say he does not drink water, So
- 23:47Speaker 11: he would be one guy be like, no, I don't
- 23:48Speaker 11: want water, no, thank you.
- 23:50Speaker 5: He drinks dit coke.
- 23:51Speaker 6: Does he drink pasta?

- 24:10Speaker 8: But I'm calling in to damaged.
- 24:17Speaker 12: Yeah, but you know, slowly, day by day calling in
- 24:20Speaker 12: to provide just a quick update on the Stanley Cup
- 24:23Speaker 12: playoffs since there's a lack of hockey coverage here and
- 24:26Speaker 12: I got to share this important breaking news item courtesy
- 24:29Speaker 12: of the Athletic who did a piece today on Vegas
- 24:31Speaker 12: Golden Knights forward Brett Howden. He's been lighting it up
- 24:34Speaker 12: the past two weeks and they reached out to his
- 24:36Speaker 12: junior's coach up in moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and he provided
- 24:41Speaker 12: this quote. He said, some guys play hockey, and then
- 24:44Speaker 12: there are hockey players. Brett Howden, he's a hockey player. Yeah, guys,
- 24:48Speaker 12: if that's true, that's big news.
- 24:51Speaker 6: Yes, it is right, Yeah, right. The fact that there's
- 24:53Speaker 6: a difference.
- 24:54Speaker 4: No, it's so true. Even yesterday playing softball. Some guys
- 24:58Speaker 4: are softball players. Some guys us play softball.
- 25:00Speaker 5: I'm the latter.
- 25:01Speaker 6: Yes, yes, that is breaking news. Thank you all.
- 25:04Speaker 5: I mean that's big stuff.
- 25:07Speaker 6: Is that only? Add?
- 25:09Speaker 5: Okay? Thank you al. There's a difference.
- 25:11Speaker 1: There are people who play hockey and there were hockey players.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Taylor not a hockey player. Shirley Temple open bar Wedding,
- 25:18Speaker 1: not a hockey player, but plays hockey a little bit.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Speaking of playing, how does softball go for you?
- 25:24Speaker 5: Guys?
- 25:24Speaker 6: Hottest team in the league.
- 25:25Speaker 5: Who stude.
- 25:27Speaker 4: Yes, we were intimidating. We were so intimidating that the
- 25:30Speaker 4: other team didn't have enough guys.
- 25:35Speaker 6: They had the.
- 25:35Speaker 5: Forfeit or they did.
- 25:36Speaker 4: I mean we ended up scrimmaging anyway, So we have
- 25:39Speaker 4: some you know, some play by play here, but it
- 25:41Speaker 4: was definitely a win by forfeit. And now we are
- 25:44Speaker 4: two and zero in our last two and are on
- 25:46Speaker 4: a rule.
- 25:47Speaker 9: So is he The most confusing part is not only
- 25:50Speaker 9: did the other team not have enough people, the other
- 25:53Speaker 9: team didn't have a single person show up. The team
- 25:56Speaker 9: that we scrimmaged was a team from the game previously.
- 26:00Speaker 8: It just stuck around.
- 26:01Speaker 9: Was like, hey, we just finished a game, we'll play you,
- 26:03Speaker 9: and then Stu, we play this team.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Yeah we destroyed it.
- 26:06Speaker 4: Well, hang on, that makes so much sense because the
- 26:08Speaker 4: team we were scheduled to play was two and one, right,
- 26:12Speaker 4: and so I was like, this team's coming up, and
- 26:14Speaker 4: I was like, there's a lot of.
- 26:15Speaker 5: Dominicans on this team. There's no way this team should
- 26:18Speaker 5: be winning.
- 26:19Speaker 9: Hat yeah too, I saw that guy with a Nicaragua
- 26:21Speaker 9: hat and I said, oh no, we're gonna have a
- 26:22Speaker 9: problem game.
- 26:23Speaker 6: So you figured that the Dodgers of your softball league.
- 26:26Speaker 4: It seemed I guess it seemed like they weren't speaking English,
- 26:28Speaker 4: which is already terrifying, like if they're just speaking Spanish
- 26:31Speaker 4: the whole time. And yeah, early on, I was like, Okay,
- 26:35Speaker 4: I see this group. It's gonna be a bit of
- 26:37Speaker 4: a problem. But we put up what six in the
- 26:40Speaker 4: first inning, and it was just we were coasting Stu.
- 26:42Speaker 9: You know, the key to a good softball game, you
- 26:44Speaker 9: got to put up a crooked number in that first inning.
- 26:47Speaker 9: And when we put up a seventh spot, Yeah, they
- 26:49Speaker 9: were playing catch up the rest of the night.
- 26:51Speaker 6: I understand that.
- 26:52Speaker 1: But this team stuck around to play a second game
- 26:54Speaker 1: against you guys like they would just didn't.
- 26:56Speaker 5: I tell you they were all Dominican.
- 26:57Speaker 8: Yes, this is what they do.
- 26:58Speaker 6: I mean, Jim Ratts and I can't stand those guys.
- 27:01Speaker 8: First one in, last guy's out.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I mean, they're always there. They just they're waiting for
- 27:05Speaker 1: a game. I mean they're there now right.
- 27:07Speaker 10: They're the guys that know how to turn on the
- 27:09Speaker 10: lights at the park right when you're there and you're
- 27:11Speaker 10: like we need lights, They're like, I know how to
- 27:12Speaker 10: do it.
- 27:13Speaker 6: Yes, yes, they lock up the gate. Correct.
- 27:18Speaker 4: Now the first question, I know everybody's wondering, how did
- 27:21Speaker 4: Ian do well? He actually had a few opportunities. I'm
- 27:24Speaker 4: gonna let Taylor take it from here.
- 27:25Speaker 6: But it wasn't a real game. You were just hanging around.
- 27:28Speaker 4: That's a great points to you, right, because at the
- 27:30Speaker 4: very beginning, everybody's like, oh, we're not taking any walks.
- 27:33Speaker 5: This is a scrimmage. We're just gonna go.
- 27:34Speaker 4: And it's just like by the middle of the second inning,
- 27:37Speaker 4: I was just like, everybody's taking this sou serious like it.
- 27:40Speaker 4: We're taking his like treating It's like it's a real game.
- 27:42Speaker 4: But how did he end?
- 27:43Speaker 5: Taylor?
- 27:43Speaker 9: So Ian was on base in that first inning, stew
- 27:48Speaker 9: and somebody hits the ball to the outfield. Yeah, And
- 27:51Speaker 9: I'm screaming at Ian from first base. You're scoring, you're scoring,
- 27:55Speaker 9: and he's running at third and I go, go, go, go,
- 27:59Speaker 9: when I could clearly tell he's dead.
- 28:01Speaker 8: He's dead by a mile Jesus I was.
- 28:05Speaker 9: I was sending him into the lines then telling him
- 28:08Speaker 9: to go, and then he he he gets tagged out
- 28:11Speaker 9: a mile before, and he's looking at me like that
- 28:14Speaker 9: was completely your fault. And I'm now I'm laughing because
- 28:16Speaker 9: this game doesn't count. We're up seven to nothing already.
- 28:19Speaker 9: At this point, of course, he's mad at you.
- 28:21Speaker 6: I mean, you're the only person in that body could trust.
- 28:23Speaker 6: He's not looking.
- 28:24Speaker 3: He has to trust you.
- 28:26Speaker 9: So then we go out in the field and one
- 28:29Speaker 9: of the first balls gets hit to him and he
- 28:32Speaker 9: canicorn like, couldn't be easier, doesn't have.
- 28:34Speaker 6: To move love a can of corn, he says.
- 28:36Speaker 9: He loses the ball on the lights and the ball
- 28:39Speaker 9: hits off like his stomach.
- 28:41Speaker 4: With his stomach, I thought it was the back of
- 28:43Speaker 4: the glove. I thought it just hit the glove and
- 28:44Speaker 4: fell down.
- 28:45Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't even think it made contact with his
- 28:47Speaker 8: glove and made contact with his body.
- 28:49Speaker 9: But Stu, we figured something out. We're now running a
- 28:53Speaker 9: staggered in the outfield, and the stagger is scrimmage.
- 28:57Speaker 6: Yes, this is a fake game.
- 28:59Speaker 9: I mean instead of having instead of having four outfielders
- 29:03Speaker 9: just spread across the outfield in left field and left
- 29:06Speaker 9: center field, Ian is about fifteen feet in front of me,
- 29:11Speaker 9: so he doesn't have to worry about going.
- 29:13Speaker 6: Back because Andrew Jones is behind him.
- 29:15Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm trying to cover any ground because me and Ian,
- 29:18Speaker 9: both have two noodle arms, So any balls that get
- 29:20Speaker 9: hit either left or to the right is going to
- 29:23Speaker 9: be an automatic double because we can't physically make that throw.
- 29:26Speaker 9: So now we're just trying to take one thing out
- 29:28Speaker 9: of the equation, and that thing out of the equation
- 29:30Speaker 9: for him is having to worry about going back. And
- 29:33Speaker 9: he made one of the best catches I've ever set.
- 29:36Speaker 4: But well, you're adding this part of the equation, the
- 29:39Speaker 4: threat of being smacked in the face by a line
- 29:41Speaker 4: drive by almost every righty hitter.
- 29:43Speaker 1: No, but sometimes you got to minimize a guy, you know,
- 29:46Speaker 1: you just got to minimize what it is he does
- 29:48Speaker 1: and just have him focused on one little space of.
- 29:50Speaker 6: The field to catch her. Yeah, go ahead, Dan, Yeah.
- 29:54Speaker 10: I also I don't know, Ian, but I would also
- 29:56Speaker 10: think something that Taylor said that I just think is
- 29:58Speaker 10: off base that he was maybe mad that you sent
- 30:00Speaker 10: him home. I think he was just mad that you
- 30:02Speaker 10: didn't allow him to rest that third. It's not that
- 30:04Speaker 10: he was called out. He just wanted to stop running
- 30:07Speaker 10: then instead of more down the baseline, like he just like,
- 30:11Speaker 10: let let me just stop here, and instead you sent him.
- 30:13Speaker 10: That's probably the reason why he wasn't happening a mile. No,
- 30:16Speaker 10: he takes the light.
- 30:17Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Dan, it's what you're saying sounds logical,
- 30:20Speaker 1: But he takes the light and making the saltball season
- 30:24Speaker 1: a misery.
- 30:24Speaker 6: He does.
- 30:25Speaker 1: He doesn't want him to succeed. He wants to have
- 30:27Speaker 1: the best stats on the team.
- 30:28Speaker 4: I mean, now that we got our een update, the
- 30:30Speaker 4: real eye of the team Israel.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Yeah, hold on has nothing before we get to to
- 30:36Speaker 1: I go ahead.
- 30:38Speaker 7: Well, my question is for Taylor about Israel. I mean,
- 30:41Speaker 7: with all the expectations, you got to keep both feet
- 30:43Speaker 7: on the ground.
- 30:44Speaker 6: And speaking of keeping both feet on the ground, he
- 30:48Speaker 6: jumps wings.
- 30:48Speaker 5: Yeah, I never jumped. I never jumped.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Secondarily, Taylor's not answering is he had a walk?
- 30:57Speaker 5: Well walk? I think everybody wanted to know if I
- 31:01Speaker 5: got my first hit. Yes, no, I did not.
- 31:03Speaker 4: However, I got one at bat Okay, and it's the scrimmage,
- 31:07Speaker 4: I'm saying to myself, of course I'm swinging at everything.
- 31:10Speaker 5: And so the first pitch was like way inside to.
- 31:13Speaker 4: The point where I'm just like, I'm gonna take two
- 31:15Speaker 4: steps back and swing at this thing anyway, And so
- 31:17Speaker 4: I sort of took a step back and sort of
- 31:19Speaker 4: swung through it.
- 31:19Speaker 5: Whatever I missed it. It was a terrible pitch.
- 31:22Speaker 4: And then I'm like, all right, at least just give
- 31:24Speaker 4: me something to hit. And this guy just I mean
- 31:27Speaker 4: he basically threw balls that barely were off the ground
- 31:30Speaker 4: and bounced in and I'm just like, I literally can't
- 31:32Speaker 4: swing at those and I have to take my base.
- 31:33Speaker 4: And then they had a second basement over there who
- 31:35Speaker 4: was just talking saying something.
- 31:36Speaker 5: I was like, dude, you think I want to walk?
- 31:38Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
- 31:39Speaker 9: And then Stu I saw is he's worst fear almost realized,
- 31:44Speaker 9: what's that?
- 31:45Speaker 4: So I'm approaching my second at bet right, he's approaching
- 31:49Speaker 4: his second at bat.
- 31:50Speaker 1: No one walks off, the walks up the softball at
- 31:52Speaker 1: BET's terrified.
- 31:54Speaker 6: I mean, so he's doing it's softball.
- 31:56Speaker 9: The score at this point, we're probably up like fourteen
- 31:59Speaker 9: to three, like we are. We are dominating this team,
- 32:02Speaker 9: and we're running out of time. And some people are
- 32:06Speaker 9: terrified of spiders. Some people are terrified of you know, rodents,
- 32:11Speaker 9: what is he Gutierrez is terrified of you? Hear somebody
- 32:16Speaker 9: in the behind the backstop watching the game, go is
- 32:19Speaker 9: that is he? From ESPN and right away, right away,
- 32:25Speaker 9: right away, as is he's walking into the at bat circle.
- 32:28Speaker 9: I hear Anthony go, oh no, this is this is
- 32:31Speaker 9: worst case scenario for.
- 32:33Speaker 6: Someone recognized him.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Now there's an expectation, someone thinks he's a good athlete
- 32:36Speaker 1: because you worked at ESPs.
- 32:37Speaker 4: So I hear the two guys on the other side
- 32:39Speaker 4: of the fence ask the Empire, and then the Empire
- 32:43Speaker 4: just says something is like he basically asked him to
- 32:45Speaker 4: yell my name.
- 32:46Speaker 6: It is real.
- 32:46Speaker 5: And then I turned around. I was like, oh god,
- 32:48Speaker 5: here we go.
- 32:49Speaker 4: And so I'm walking toward at the gate and I
- 32:51Speaker 4: and I was like hey, and they go, did you
- 32:53Speaker 4: work for ESPN.
- 32:53Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I worked there for
- 32:55Speaker 5: a long time. Like oh, that's it.
- 32:57Speaker 4: And I got right not turn around because you don't
- 32:59Speaker 4: want to see this. He goes, now, let's see. And
- 33:02Speaker 4: the second I start to walk toward the plate, my man,
- 33:05Speaker 4: the umpire, my savior comes down and says.
- 33:08Speaker 6: Time, I've never been no more at bats.
- 33:13Speaker 5: Today And I was just like, I'll see you guys
- 33:15Speaker 5: next week. It is weird.
- 33:17Speaker 1: You work at ESPN and there's an expectation that you're
- 33:20Speaker 1: John Kronked.
- 33:21Speaker 8: Yeah, no crooky,
